Ryan's Hope
Posted Jan 1, 2004 @ 4:26 AM
Bob also managed Delia's Crystal Palace, so he was somewhat involved in all the Joe Novak/organized crime shenanigans (though, for a former cop he really was pretty clueless about what was going on around him). But I was surprised to learn from Earl Hindman's obituary that he had been on RH for the entire run.

Can I just say Bucky brings the HoYay like nobody's business with Pat. He's like the only man impervious to Delia.

I'm liking Pat/Faith/Delia a lot better than Frank/Jill/Delia. What's interesting about it is that both Faith and Delia at one point were neurotic and possessive of Pat, but Faith grew and changed, whereas Delia, if anything, has devolved, so it's interesting to see that contrast. Plus, I like all three characters pretty much equally, which wasn't the case with F/J/D.
And I still really appreciate how much things like reactions and things like that matter. When something happens, you still want to see how everyone else is going to react to it. And people's reactions are themselves good drama--like the other day, when Johnny bellowed at Jack to get an annulment, I actually gasped, and it's been ages since I've done that with a soap.
Jack/Mary is really getting painful to watch, what with all the hurt and anger and intensity...but that's not a bad thing necessarily. Still, I'll be glad when they get through it.
I also liked that they brought back Nick Szabo for a day and tied up what happened with him and Reenie, because that ended so abruptly.

Watching now, I find it sometimes incredibly cheesy, the montages of Mary and Jack falling in love and Jill/Seneca at the beach. The production value is cringe worthy, I love all the scenes in the kitchen where there is a little tiny bag of sugar on shelf and it's supposed to be a restaurant kitchen. I remember many of the storylines, however, I never realized how much of a pompous tool Jack Fenelli was, I hope he gets over it soon. I just want to smack him.
Is SoapNet going to run through the entire show or rewind again after 1980something? I'd like to see what I never stuck around for back in the day.
thanks, for answering, The Last DodoI feel silly being so excited to watch a show that's so old, and I read those yearly summaries you posted upthread and now I'm mad that I spoiled myself for something I've already seen!

Yeah. Before the recasts of Faith and Frank there was another opening with more shots of other cast members and there was one of Delia feeding him.
Who is the kid Maeve and Johnny are twirling in the opening credits? (Little John?)
Oh yeah. Those things drag on for like 5 minutes and the Jill/Seneca ones are just stills, fer chrissakes!!! And the uberdramatic music at the end of every scene cracked me up when I first started watching, but now I've gotten so used to it that I don't even really notice.

I get the impression this time they're going to keep going. It seemed like the reason they started over was because when they first started, hardly any households had the channel, and they got a lot of requests to go back to the beginning.

Also, I never knew that Mary died. I read the summary of the final episode, I presume that's years in the future but how and when? I feel silly putting that in spoiler tags but for anyone who hasn't seen, it's new.
They are playing 2 episodes a day so that means we're going at double speed, right? so it was just christmas and then it'll be christmas again in June/July? Cool, I want to catch up fast. We could be at the end of 1978 by the end of this year.
I was reading on imdb.com about who played what and the kid playing Little John stayed little john from 1975-1985 which is odd because Ryan Fenelli isn't even born yet and by 1985 she was already Yasmine Bleeth. I was only watching during the summers and on school holidays by that point and it seems like at christmas, Ryan was in some kind of costume, like a ballerina or princess, I seem to remember wings, and by the summer she was an adult!
I'm so sorry this is getting too long, a few years ago I saw Jillian/NAA on Rosie O'Donnell and she looked fantastic. It must have been only shortly before she died but she was bubbly and excited, Rosie was a huge fan, and she said one of the guys (Jack Fenelli or Patrick Ryan, had kind of become a monk or something?) Am I insane? She was giving updates but of course at the time I had nothing to reference so it just went by me.

Siobhan doesn't come on until early 1978. I'm kind of dreading 1978 coming up, actually, because Kate Mulgrew leaves at the beginning of the year and Malcolm Groome leaves midyear and I'm really not looking forward to either one leaving, but especially not Kate Mulgrew.
Mary dies at the end of 1979; she stumbles upon Joe's uncle's mob connections while reporting and is killed as a result. By that time they'd recast the role 3 times and none worked. But I've only read about that; I've never actually seen it.
OK, talking about cheesy--that ending the other day when the voices in Frank's head were shouting, "Lies, LIES, LIES!!!!"? Straight out of an Ed Wood film. MAN, that was bad.

I was also shocked to learn that Jack Fenelli stayed for the entire run of the show. I didn't realize how old he was. He would have been about 45 at the time, he's got some Law and Order episodes listed and I would kill to see him in a rerun. Hell, I want to see Jack happy and smiling just once before I die. He's really bugging the crap out of me.

Thanks, StellStell for confirming my Jill story. It was entirely within the realm of possibility that I had lost my mind completely. I knew Malcolm Groome didn't have too much on his resume, I'm very intrigued by his eastern religion thing.

They were great. And they left off at such a point that Friday was a real cliffhanger...I was like, "Dammit, I want to see what Maeve says to Pat!"
loved these recent episodes where Delia wants to get an abortion and Maeve is forced to collect her. So much so, in fact, that I'm considering getting up at 3AM each morning just to push record, then go back to sleep!
Sort-of related thing....I went to this speed dating thing for gay men Saturday night where the first part is going around the room and having one minute to introduce yourself. Other people brought up TV shows they were into like Survivor and Trading Spaces, so for the hell of it when it was my turn, I deadpanned, "I watch and have written about both of those shows, but I'm probably the only one in the room who's addicted to Ryan's Hope reruns. Delia's causing all kinds of problems for Faith and Pat and it's just a mess." It got a laugh and sure enough, I had guys making a beeline for me during the mingling part being all, "So, are they up to the part where Delia's gone out on the ledge yet?" Hee!

It's all emotional manipulation to get Pat to marry her.
I read the updates on SoapNet, and it said that Delia really didn't want the abortion, and the distress she exhibited in the doctor's office was fake. What the hell was wrong with her?

I'd never heard of it before, but I Googled it and the Leboyer method is indeed a real childbirth technique that came onto the scene with a book about it in 1975, so they obviously did their research.
Also, I'm glad that they now have Ilene Kristen doing the bumper telling us we're watching Ryan's Hope. Before it was Linda Dano and I was always like, "What the hell business is it of yours?" Natalia Livingston, however, needs to shut the hell up. I don't even watch General Hospital but that ending voiceover promo that always plays over the second episode is enough to tell me she'd grate on my last nerve.

Was every woman on the show always pregnant? I'm with Jack, ready for the prenancies to be over.
Did Bucky/Justin Deas ever have a storyline? Forget the Ryan's, I'd be all over the guy with $30 million. He seems like a nice guy, I know he had a secret thing for Faith but they don't seem to do anything with him.

It's interesting: in the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle I was pretty much on Delia's side and thought the others were being a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites, but with Pat/Faith/Delia I find myself siding with Faith. I think it's partly that I just like the character better than Frank and Jill, and partly that not only has she not done anything wrong in all this, but like I've said before, she's pulled herself together after one of the worst years you could possibly imagine and definitely is due for some happiness. I thought the Faith/Delia confrontations were excellent and quite frankly, Delia had it coming.
I wonder who or what is finally going to shake some sense into Jack? It's all the more frustrating because to some extent you can kind of understand why he's doing this, but that just makes you want to throttle him all the more.
Finally, if I'm feeling like I can offer classes in the Leboyer technique at this point, it might just be a wee bit of overkill.

I also find myself sympathizing with Faith in this triangle where I was totally on Delia's side during Delia/Frank/Jill. I know she's terrified of being out from under the Ryan roof but sheesh, Pat is the only one she likes and gets along with really who also treats her with any kind of kindness or respect. I don't get why Roger isn't a really attractive alternative at this point what with his money and adoration and frustration with the Ryan's. Maybe it's a little to do with spite towards Frank/Mary, that they look down on her and yet they can't get her out of their lives, but oy.

The one constant with Delia, at least during the years I watched (thru sometime in the mid-80s), was that she was obsessed with the Ryans and wanted to be one of them, so it didn't really matter how they treated her. If I were a Ryan, I would have kicked her to the curb long ago. That passive-agressive business with Johnny on Friday got on my last nerve. As far as the Delia/Frank/Jillian traingle is concerned, I really couldn't muster sympathy for any of them, although I do think the Ryans' treatment of Delia was pretty hypocritical considering Frank's behavior.

He started spending more time with Faith; they had dated last year, but he broke up with her when she became neurotically clingy; however, lots of therapy and 2 recasts later, Faith had grown emotionally to the point where they were now equals
That amused me so much. Mostly because Catherine Hicks just comes off as this perfectly together, intelligent WASPY girl whereas first Faith came off as two years away from joining a cult. And yes, I agree completely about Pat/Delia/Frank. Delia, even after the affair, was the one wronged in the original storyline, but here she is morphing into a manipulative bitch.
RH is just so good right now. But why does everyone want Frank? I want Jill to wake up and smell the Seneca!

I only saw First Faith in one episode, but my God, you are so right. How odd is it that Catherine Hicks comes off as "the good one" compared to anyone?

Catherine Hicks is my favorite Faith so far...she just has a very natural, genuine quality to her.
Hee! I know what you mean. But at least it's more understandable with Andrew Robinson than Michael Hawkins.

I was a kid at the time so I wasn't so aware of such things, but was it routine for soaps to be so misogynist in the 70's? With all the Ryan boys it seems to be acceptable for them to have sex with whomever they like and it's always the woman's fault and problem when things go badly. Even in the Jack/Mary storyline I don't get how Jack could get married, have sex without using birth control, then claim that he was duped when his wife gets pregnant. Was/is that really an acceptable reason for a Catholic annulment? I also find it interesting that the women who are supposed to be independent career women (Mary, Faith, Jill) are complete doormats in their romantic relationships. Then again, come to think of it, many of the same attitudes are prevalent in soaps (and other genres) today.

Small Business Administration:
Additional Actions Are Needed to Certify and Monitor HUBZone Businesses and Assess Program Results
GAO-08-643: Published: Jun 17, 2008. Publicly Released: Jul 16, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-4325
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Small Business Administration's (SBA) Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program provides federal contracting assistance to small firms located in economically distressed areas, with the intent of stimulating economic development. Questions have been raised about whether the program is targeting the locations and businesses that Congress intended to assist. GAO was asked to examine (1) the criteria and process that SBA uses to identify and map HUBZone areas and the economic characteristics of such areas, (2) the mechanisms SBA uses to ensure that only eligible small businesses participate in the program, and (3) the actions SBA has taken to assess the results of the program and the extent to which federal agencies have met their HUBZone contracting goals. To address these objectives, GAO analyzed statutory provisions, as well as SBA, census, and contracting data, and interviewed SBA and other federal and local officials.
SBA relies on federal law to identify qualified HUBZone areas based on provisions such as median income in census tracts, but the map it uses to publicize HUBZone areas is inaccurate, and the economic characteristics of designated areas vary widely. To help firms determine if they are located in a HUBZone area, SBA publishes a map on its Web site. However, the map contains areas that are not eligible for the program and excludes some eligible areas. As a result, ineligible small businesses have been able to participate in the program, and eligible businesses have not been able to participate. Revisions to the statutory definition of HUBZone areas (such as allowing continued inclusion of areas that ceased to be qualified) have nearly doubled the number of areas and created areas that are less economically distressed than areas designated under the original criteria. Such an expansion could diffuse the benefits to be derived from steering businesses to economically distressed areas. The mechanisms that SBA uses to certify and monitor firms provide limited assurance that only eligible firms participate in the program. Although internal control standards state that agencies should verify information they collect, SBA verifies the information reported by firms on their application or during recertification--its process for monitoring firms--in limited instances and does not follow its own policy of recertifying all firms every 3 years. GAO found that more than 4,600 firms that had been in the program for at least 3 years went unmonitored. Further, SBA lacks a formal policy on how quickly it needs to make a final determination on decertifying firms that may no longer be eligible for the program. Of the more than 3,600 firms proposed for decertification in fiscal years 2006 and 2007, more than 1,400 were not processed within 60 days--SBA's unwritten target. As a result of these weaknesses, there is an increased risk that ineligible firms have participated in the program and had opportunities to receive federal contracts based on their HUBZone certification. SBA has taken limited steps to assess the effectiveness of the HUBZone program, and from 2003 to 2006 federal agencies did not meet the government-wide contracting goal for the HUBZone program. While SBA has some measures to assess the results of the HUBZone program, they are not directly linked to the program's mission, and the agency has not implemented its plans to conduct an evaluation of the program based on variables tied to the program's goals. Consequently, SBA lacks key information to manage the program and assess performance. Contracting dollars awarded to HUBZone firms increased from fiscal year 2003 to 2006, but consistently fell short of the government-wide goal of awarding 3 percent of annual contracting dollars to HUBZone firms. According to contracting officials GAO interviewed, factors such as conflicting guidance on how to consider the various small business programs when awarding contracts and a lack of HUBZone firms in certain industries may have affected the ability of federal agencies to meet their HUBZone goals.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: To improve SBA's administration and oversight of the HUBZone program, the Administrator of SBA should formalize and adhere to a specific time frame for processing firms proposed for decertification in the future.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SBA issued a procedural notice, effective December 2008, that established a timeline for processing firms for HUBZone decertification. It stated that the entire decertification process from proposed decertification to final decertification should occur within 60 calendar days of the initial notification of the proposed decertification. Our review of decertification processing times in fiscal years 2010 and 2011 showed that SBA adhered to this time in the majority of cases.
Recommendation: To improve SBA's administration and oversight of the HUBZone program, the Administrator of SBA should establish a specific time frame for eliminating the backlog of recertifications and ensure that this goal is met, using either SBA or contract staff, and take the necessary steps to ensure that recertifications are completed in a more timely fashion in the future.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SBA stated that it had eliminated the initial backlog of recertifications by September 2008. As of July 2012, it was using contractor staff to perform recertifications, but the HUBZone office had just received authority to hire 10 full-time equivalent staff to replace the contractor's staff, according to SBA . In addition, SBA provided data in July 2012 showing that the majority of the 836 HUBZone firms requiring recertification in 2011 had either been recertified or decertified .
Recommendation: To improve SBA's administration and oversight of the HUBZone program, the Administrator of SBA should develop and implement guidance to more routinely and consistently obtain supporting documentation upon application and conduct more frequent site visits, as appropriate, to ensure that firms applying for certification are eligible.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In March 2010, SBA issued a guide for analysts to use when reviewing applications to ensure that they consistently request supporting documentation from each new applicant. In August 2012, it provided guidance showing that documentation required at application included business tax returns, proof of U.S. citizenship for owners, the lease or deed for the principal office, payroll records, and proof of residence for HUBZone residents. In addition to requesting supporting documentation from each applicant, SBA has conducted more frequent site visits of firms. Specifically, in 2009, 2010, and 2011, SBA conducted site visits of 911, 1,142, and 988 firms, respectively.
Recommendation: To improve SBA's administration and oversight of the HUBZone program, the Administrator of SBA should take immediate steps to correct and update the map that is used to identify HUBZone areas and implement procedures to ensure that the map is updated with the most recently available data on a more frequent basis.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SBA stated that it modified its contract with its mapping vendor to enable more frequent updating of the HUBZone map. According to SBA, the first significant update of the map was completed in September 2008. After considering a change of contractors for a June 2010 upgrade of the map, SBA continues to use its original mapping vendor to update the map. Its most recent statement of work with that contractor requires the contractor to update the map annually. SBA officials stated that the accuracy of the map is checked multiple times after each upgrade. First, the mapping vendor tests the quality of the map before it is provided to SBA. Second, an SBA employee uses Maptitude to check the accuracy of approximately 1,000 HUBZone firm addresses each time the map is updated. In the few instances in which SBA has identified problems with the addresses, it sends those addresses to HUD?s Geocode Service Center to conduct further tests and works with the contractor to correct any discrepancies.
Recommendation: To improve SBA's administration and oversight of the HUBZone program, the Administrator of SBA should further develop measures and implement plans to assess the effectiveness of the HUBZone program that take into account factors such as (1) the economic characteristics of the HUBZone area and (2) contracts being counted under multiple socioeconomic subcategories.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: SBA has not begun to assess the effectiveness of the HUBZone program. In August 2008, SBA issued a notice of methodology in the Federal Register for measuring the impact of the HUBZone program. However, the proposed methodology was not well developed. For example, it did not incorporate expert input or a previous study conducted by SBA's Office of Advocacy. We do not believe that this effort was a useful process to address our recommendation. SBA has not taken any additional steps toward closing this recommendation. Specifically, in January 2012 an SBA official noted that they do not have plans in place to assess the effectiveness of the HUBZone program.

Fairness. Academics. Equitable Competition.
Commitment to academic achievement and adherence to member-created rules are vital parts of the NCAA's mission to integrate athletics into the fabric of higher education.
NCAA member schools create rules to ensure that the Association's 430,000 student-athletes compete on equal footing. Various NCAA committees and the national office staff members work to make sure rules are applied fairly.
Staff members and membership representatives serving on committees are dedicated to providing timely eligibility decisions, as well as interpretations of and waivers from NCAA rules when circumstances dictate.
Becoming Eligible
The NCAA membership creates rules in three separate divisions that determine an individual's eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics. Prospective student-athletes must meet minimum academic standards and amateurism criteria in to play college sports. The NCAA Eligibility Center administers the process for prospects seeking initial eligibility. NCAA membership committees composed of faculty members, administrators and other higher education professionals create and apply eligibility standards.
Remaining Eligible
Once prospective student-athletes are cleared to compete, they must continue to meet academic and amateurism benchmarks to stay eligible. These often are referred to as "continuing-eligibility" or "progress-toward-degree" rules. The purpose of these rules is for all student-athletes to continually be on track to earn their diplomas. As such, the NCAA membership offers rules and guidelines for student-athletes to make progress toward their degrees and retain their amateur status throughout their intercollegiate experience. Because every student-athlete's experience is different, the NCAA – as is the case with initial eligibility – offers processes that provide flexibility based on individual circumstances.


text: Monday, March 15, 2010, will be significant for the worst meal I have eaten since my Navy days! Our party of 3 ordered the "signature" Halibut and Chips platters. Also ordered ice tea, large. When we went to the ice tea container, it was empty. The cashier/waitress told us she would make some more. The halibut was overcooked and didn't taste anything like halibut. The cole slaw had an icky green topping on it that made it appear unedible. Half way through our meal, I asked the cashier/waitress about the tea and she said it was almost ready. We finished our meal and I called her over and asked that she refund our money for the tea. She said she told us earlier that she was bringing it. I said, "we're done with our meal." She checked with the "boss"/"cook" who said the ice tea was part of the meal and couldn't be refunded, even though my receipt shows they charged us extra for the large ice tea. I didn't pursue it further and told her I would post a review about the food and service. She could have cared less! I'll chalk up the $35.00 bill to experience but wanted to let readers know of the terrible experience. They should demolish that place like they did with the Cottonwood Mall across the street!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"If I Did it again I would buy the heavier card stock. It's a lovely card and the proof, review and customer service were fantastic. Great value for the price."
"We loved how our Save the Date turned out. It was exactly what we wanted, and very reasonable in terms of price. I would absolutely recommend using Wedding Paper Divas."
"I took quite some time looking at many sites and by far Wedding Paper Divas surpassed all other sites with both user friendly choices and alternate options for editing. This specific Save The Date was great! I lived the style and the product shipped so quick! The picture was very clear and the text was also classic and clean. This product was set up great for mail by postcard. No items were covered by the postal service barcode or sticker. (Something to look out for!)"
"They turned out beautifully! I cannot wait to send to my wedding guests! I also really love that you can reorder a few more at the price you paid for a larger quantity! Very impressed"
"I ordered the elegant vows in the green color. The quality of the image was excellent. I did order the thick matte paper and this was too thick. It kinda made them seem to be like coasters. Will order in different paper. The printing and shipping is very fast. It came faster than anticipated."

What Do You Know About American Automobile History?
The growth of the suburbs was a tremendous change in American culture. As Americans began to commute by car, congestion and scarce downtown parking meant that businesses moved to the outskirts, where parking lots could be built and it was easier to get around. This was good for the auto industry. By the end of the 1950s, one in six Americans was working directly or indirectly in the auto industry.

Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2009 is one of the greatest Leoville Las Cases I have ever tasted, which is saying something given the many compelling wines that have been made at this estate... The high alcohol is barely noticeable in this 2009, which boasts an inky/purple color, monumental concentration, and great clarity..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The brilliant 2006 Cheval Blanc performed better from bottle than from barrel. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot grown in a superb vineyard site facing La Conseillante and l'Evangile at the very edge of the sandy, gravelly soils of St.-Emilion, it boasts a dense ruby/purple color as..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense ruby/purple-hued 2005 Cheval Blanc's ethereal bouquet of menthol, coffee, wet stones, black cherries, blackberries, and hints of graphite and spice soars from the glass. An equal part blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it is medium to full-bodied with a gorgeous texture in addition to..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A brilliant offering and a candidate for wine of the vintage, this is classic Lafite that reminded me somewhat of the 1976, although the vintage conditions were completely different. This is a medium-weight, quintessentially elegant style of Lafite... with black currants, plums, and crushed..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2001 Ausone has put on even more weight than I anticipated. The "wine of the vintage," this inky/purple-colored 2001 boasts a provocative, floral perfume of crushed stones, raspberries, blackberries, creme de cassis, licorice, and smoke. What makes it so sensational are the layers of flavor and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment ... it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine ... and last for 25-30 more."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It is stunningly opulent, fat, and super-concentrated, ... This is an amazing wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Austere wine, its tannins pushing forward to give power and structure. It is dense, concentrated, with layer upon layer of bitter coffee and dark fruit flavors, acidity and sweet tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "As so often with Lafite, it is power that marks this wine. That, and density of texture. The additional element in this vintage, and at this stage of the wine's development, is a dominant wood element. The vanilla and tannins from the wood match well with the concentrated tannins of the fruit,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the handful of candidates for wine of the vintage is the 2006 Ausone. In fact, while tasting it, I was thinking, is there any estate in Bordeaux that, since 1998, has made as many legendary wines as proprietor Alain Vauthier has at his beloved Ausone? Boasting an inky/blue/purple color as..

I've got an new project and, it's an steampipe (tube) light in steampunk style.
It's made from a PVC drainage pipe wich i gave a bronze look and with MDF some rings attached.
And glued some big nuts on it.
For the light; a tubelight that you use for working under your car.
And a long glass vase wich i sprayed greenish-yellow from the inside and
mounted it on the wall were the cord goes through.
This is part of the bigger project of my steampunk hallway.
To be continued...
Just repainteded the lamp in red...looks better this way. :)
The light cable comes from the other side of the trough there anyway so, if it's bigger the fish can go in just as the water.
Only have to build the light from below....and hope the fish won't cook :P
Fun idea!
The clear safety tubes that go around fluorescent lights make a great inner liner,
just place your light source inside it and pour the hot gelatin around the outside between the two tubes, let it set, no leaks no wet electronics.
The gel style hand cleaner also has some nice effects, it does require a better seal though.
The flanges may be purchased already made in any home store - several styles are available, from a 3" toilet flange to 1/2" - 4" floor flanges, all in PVC or cast iron. Using a PVC flange will save you lots of time.
Go to Lowes or Home Depot websites and do a search for "PVC, Flange" and you'll see the wide variety.
Thanx for the tip!
straight(ish) sided lava lamps work SO.....
Use REAL metal fittings(for heat resistance in the base, and extra heat dissipation for the top) and a thin straight walled bottle. The local winery makes rhubarb wine packaged in tall, skinny wine bottles. Wine bottles will handle the heat, where beer, or some others may not. Or, if it's REALLY a worry, go for a surplus Pyrex beaker! :-)
Disembowel a portion of your sacrificial lava lamp liquid and wax. and don't forget to add a metallic wire coil to the bottom (wikipedia says it helps re-join the wax blobs when the hit the bottom). Add the bulb/socket to the base, and you 're golden!
Since actual copper pipe in that size(have to fit a large enough bulb in there) might be impossible to find, you can go for a cast iron drain pipe elbow instead. and if it's not "shiny" enough for you, copper plate it! :-) (http://www.instructables.com/id/Clean-and-Simple-Electroplating/)
anny with straight wall so, i've got the option to make the pipe-ing
at the top smaller and on the bottom bigger.
I'll just have a go on it and see how i end up :)
A Lavalight reducing valve!
Can't wait to se it.
Not tried any yet but may have a go soon.
I'm working it out...
Thanx for the tip!

Albemarle County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a man from Crozet, who is accused of leading them on a two-mile chase on the Route 250 Bypass. Deputies say the driver hit two other cars in the process.
Deputies have arrested Christopher Lee Snow and charged him with hit and run and reckless driving. They also say he was driving with a suspended license.
Deputies say Snow didn't stop at a traffic light on Ivy Road, and when they tried to pull him over, he took off on the 250 Bypass. At the start of the chase, they say Snow hit another car at Barracks Road and got back on the Bypass.
Then as he got to Ivy Road, he hit another car. That crash sent him off the road and into some trees, but that wasn't the end of it.
"After colliding with the second car I think he lost control and he ended up off the right side of the road in the trees, and then fled on foot, and he was apprehended immediately after that," said Peter Mainzer with the Albemarle County Police Department.
Deputies say that no one was seriously hurt in the cars that Snow hit.

Sporting News ranks the Huskies just ahead of Maryland and behind No. 33 Georgia.
With nine starters returning on offense, including first-team All-MAC quarterback Chandler Harnish, and some promising young players ready to step up on defense, expectations are high once again. Anything less than a MAC championship will be a disappointment, and it should be.

Boxing: Povetkin wins "regular" WBA title
Alexander Povetkin beat Ruslan Chagaev on a unanimous points decision to win the WBA's 'regular' heavyweight title.
Wladimir Klitschko, who recently defeated David Haye in his heavyweight unification bout, is the WBA 'super' champion but now Povetkin has a belt of his own after his victory in Erfurt, Germany on Saturday night.
Povetkin dominated his contest with Chagaev in the final stages and was awarded the win 117-113, 117-113 and 116-112 on the scorecards.
Chagaev produced some decent punches in the middle of the fight but it wasn't enough to stop him falling to defeat.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Halston

Runway Reviews: Halston, Koi Suwannagate
FirstView View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Halston
After tears, pans, and not-so-subtle drama on the Ungaro runway in October, the industry was on a close watch for Halson's next spin on the Fashion Week carousel. Marios Schwab was, of course, recently appointed as the company's creative director, and Golden Globe-collecting actor Sarah Jessica Parker became the company's director without ever wearing the brand--save an oft-publicized white Halston Heritage frock while filming Sex and the City 2. And while the actress wasn't involved with last night's collection, her presence was felt. Luckily for her, the Greek Austrian designer delivered. Big. His Fall effort closely elaborated on some of Halston's greatest archive dresses, with a keen focus on richly colored dresses, attractive fur, and smart jackets. The palette was bold, the execution was high-grade, and he clearly succeeded on the first try where Zanini and others failed. "I came into the space and was just so excited and inspired," raved Parker. "Marios is a true talent, and I'm just privileged to be part of his journey at Halston."
Koi Suwannagate
Lauded for her skilled manipulation of cashmere and keen deconstruction, Koi Suwannagate's presentation this evening showed off the beautiful simplicity of her beloved fabric. The models donned crisp, stiff black bows wrapped around their heads, and each one looked like a pretty present. Inspired by Japanese flower arrangements, traditional kimonos and the art of gift wrapping, Suwannagate experimented with structure and geometry; a standout included a sweater with a tiger print that was an optical illusion. From a distance, the motif looked like a print, but up close it was clear that it was composed of cashmere scraps. The designer explained, "Mostly people know my work for flowers, deconstructed and hand sculpted designs. This collection is different, in that it is much more about Japanese arrangements. There is less floral, and the look is much more toned down."

In a way, it is a shame Al Armendariz was forced out of his regional administrator's job for the Environmental Protection Agency. He was just being honest in the comment that got him into trouble, after all.
About two years ago, Armendariz said this in a speech: "My philosophy of enforcement was kind of like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean. They'd go into a little Turkish town somewhere. They'd find the first five guys they saw and they'd crucify them. And then, you know, that town was really easy to manage for the next few years."
After apologizing for "my poor choice of words," Armendariz resigned. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson claimed his remarks "don't comport" with agency policy.
Armendariz merely articulated standard EPA policy, particularly regarding some industries that are out of favor with environmentalists.
But while treating a politically incorrect industry with severity, the government hands out billions of dollars to "alternative" energy firms - and doesn't worry if they squander it.
That's policy under President Barack Obama.

Ponting admits mistakes cost the Aussies
Australia skipper Ricky Ponting felt too many mistakes cost them the match against Sri Lanka and resulted in their early exit from the Twenty20 World Cup.
Australia, who needed a win to keep their Super Eights hopes alive following their defeat to the West Indies in the first match, struggled to get going against Sri Lanka and managed just 159 in the 20 overs.
And then half-centuries from Tillakaratne Dilshan (53) and captain Kumar Sangakkara (55 not out) saw Sri Lanka winning by six wickets here on Monday.
"It was disappointing to lose the match. Can't explain the reason for the defeat," said Ponting at the post-match ceremony.
"We committed too many mistakes in this match," said the skipper, who contributed 25 runs.
Ponting conceded that the Sri Lankan slow bowlers did a good job by picking up key wickets.
"We knew we had to play the spinners well but didn't," he said.
His Sri Lankan counterpart Sangakkara, who anchored the team to victory, chose to give credit to the bowlers.
Spinner Ajantha Mendis and Lasith Malinga picked up three wickets each while debutant left-arm pacer Isuru Udana bagged a couple to stifle Australia.

From Israel Lacrosse Association Reports
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL -- James Madison sophomore Ali Curwin (Pittsford, N.Y./Pittsford Sutherland) and JMU alumna Elyssa Rosenbaum (Fayetteville, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) have been named to the 2013 player roster for the Israel National Team which will compete in the 2013 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Cup.
The Israel Lacrosse Association announced the roster for the World Cup, to be played at the Oshawa Civic Recreation Centre near Toronto, Canada, from July 11-20.
Israel's roster is composed of both Israeli players, as well as members of the Jewish diaspora, in accordance with the rules and regulations the FIL. The roster was selected after a series of tryouts at HaYarkon Sportek in Tel Aviv and The Peddie School in Hightstown, N.J., as well as an extensive interview process.
"I had to make some very tough decisions in narrowing down this group to our final 20-player roster," said Israel head coach Lauren Paul Norris. "Taking into consideration on-field talent, connection to Israel, and commitment to the organization's missions, I believe that we have put together a very strong squad that will undoubtedly set the stage for the future of women's lacrosse in Israel."
Curwin, a starter for the 19th-ranked Dukes, is among JMU's leaders in points (13), goals (9), assists (2) and draw controls (8). Rosenbaum, a 2009 JMU graduate, competed in gymnastics for the Dukes but played lacrosse in high school.
"I've always been proud to be Jewish, and I think that it's a great opportunity to represent my heritage," said Curwin. "I've always felt affiliated with Israel and now I get the chance to 'return' to and represent my country while playing a sport that I love. My grandpa, and biggest role model, had the chance to play in the Maccabi Games, and I have always wanted to follow in his footsteps.
"The most memorable moment of my lacrosse career is playing in the state championship game for New York State, coming up just short in double overtime, and being named to the all-tournament team. This is because when I was a freshman on the team we had a losing record, but as a team my senior year we worked hard and made it to the state finals.
"I am playing in honor of the Israel Sports Center for the Disabled, because I want everyone to have the opportunity to participate in sports. Athletics have always been a huge part of my life and brought me so much enjoyment and I want everyone -- regardless of disabilities -- to share my experience."
Rosenbaum is currently participating in Otzma Israel, a 10-month service-based volunteer leadership program in Israel.
"I've felt a strong connection to Israel ever since my first grade class took a 'pretend trip' here when I was six," said Rosenbaum. "After spending the last year volunteering, teaching and living like an Israeli, I feel a much stronger connection. I'm very excited to have the chance to represent Israel in the Women's World Cup.
"Playing (and starting) in my first-ever lacrosse game was my most memorable experience with the sport. I was put into the game in a summer league as a 13-year-old after only attending one practice. I didn't know the rules or the positions, but I loved it and it inspired me to learn the game and play more."
"I'm playing in honor of SHALVA - The Association for Mentally & Physically Challenged Children in Israel, which provides services to more than 500 participants with special needs, including infants, children, adolescents and young adults via a plethora of tailored programs and round-the-clock therapies, seven days a week. The Hebrew letters shin, lamed, vav, heh comprising the name SHALVA stand for shichrur l'mishpacha v'layeled hamugbal: 'liberating the child with special needs and their family.' In Hebrew, the word shalva means 'peace of mind.'"
The team will train July 1-7 in Ashkelon, Israel, before flying as a team to Toronto on July 8.
Israel's inaugural World Cup match is a tough test, as the blue-and-white open against No. 10 Germany on July 11, before meeting No. 8 Scotland, and No. 16 South Korea to wrap up pool play. Two wins will guarantee Israel an appearance in the 12-team playoff.
'Crossover' matches against Hong Kong and No. 7 Japan will determine seeding and serve as tiebreakers if necessary. The World Cup playoffs begin on July 17.
In conjunction with the Israel Lacrosse Tzedakah Program, each player will be competing in honor of a charity of their choosing. A portion of the national team's general fundraising efforts has been committed to each charity.

Mon. - Sun. 11:30am - 2am
Neighborhoods: Back Bay, Back Bay East
Terrible terrible service! – Went for a birthday party last night. Always had a good time with good service, ambiance etc. in the past but last night was terrible! Bonnie was our server and I'm not sure if she was having a really bad day but her manners were despicable to say the least! We were greeted by her agressive behavior which continued throughout the night. Needless to say we will positively never be going back there. Not sure if the establishment knows what kind of people they are employing but she was classless and should not be working with the public!
Food is an afterthought to pool playing, shot slamming and beer swilling on the roof deck. – The Scene
After being greeted by an aggressive brigade of doormen, you'll soon find yourself surrounded by a hoard of leering ex-frat boys. Nevertheless, despite it's less than optimum view (unless you like staring at the back of brick buildings), the Rattlesnake's cozy roof deck is still quite a find in a city with few to offer; and the buildings do block the breeze.
The Draw
Besides the regular attractions found in bars, Rattlesnake has a fairly sophisticated food menu. Crab and scallop cakes, fresh and only slightly fried, are well-matched to a smoky roasted red pepper rouille. Apricot shrimp saute is nice in theory, but in practice a waste of shrimp. Cuban-style whole chicken, braised, marinated in fruit and baked, is a juicy balance of sweet and tang. Stay away from the absurdly dry shrimp and chorizo saute.
Rattlesnake rip-off – The rattlesnake is over priced, with very average food. Going in for a beer or two after work may not be a bad idea, but don't waste your time and money dinning.
bar lacks bite – Its a decent bar, with a nice roof deck but always crowded in summer. The crowd is a little stuffy and older, which is fine if you are coming from the Financial District after work. You can get better drinks elsewhere, including their Margaritas.
They're not kidding! – They're not kidding - the food really is an afterthought, for a restaurant-goer and the restaurant itself... the food was fair at best, not much in the "normal" department to opt for if you aren't feeling adventurous. The place is cool, kind of a basement feel to it. Great drinks, a lot of fun as long as you keep the food as an afterthought!
OK if you like old people – Take it from me, unless you are 35 or older, stay away. It's a cool place but it mostly fills with older working types with ties partially losened and sleeves rolled up.
It's Just OK – Don't get too psyched about this place, it's seriously..just OK.
The food is decent, but the service is dreadful and, oh, by the way, has anyone seen the atmosphere?? If you're meeting someone you haven't seen in years, fine. Otherwise, there's a ton of better choices.
Staff has poor attitude – Waiting to go out on the roof deck, we got drinks at the inside bar at the doorman's suggestion. We were seated by the hostess at a table. The waitress gave us a rambling lecture that the table was her area and we shouldnt be bringing drinks from the bar. I explained that we were seated there by the hostess and we had came in with them. About 5 minutes later the original hostess came over and went on about the same thing. I mentioned that it was she herself who had seated us and why did she do it if it was a problem. The response I got was, "well, It doesnt matter to YOU where you get drinks, but this is HER table, she OWNS it". A simple "welcome, next time you need something, let me know and I'll serve you" would have sufficed.
All around great – The Rattlesnake is an all around great bar, whether its for a place to get drinks after work or to go to late in the evening. Rattlesnake attracts a great crowd, from yuppies to older professionals. The roofdeck helps add to the relaxed atmosphere and is a great place to hang out in the summer months.Great food too! and reasonably priced.
Don't be frightened by the name – Before I went here, I thought it was a tough bar by the name....but surprisingly people were very nice...men & women. Half decent atmopshere. Good drinks. Very friendly crowed. Cool roof deck. Casual yet trendy and hip. No cover.

Nice enough parts except maybe the PSU. The going price for this stuff considering rebate is like; X3 Rana $65, Mobo $55, ram $22, 1Tb HDD $70, DVD drive, $15 case/psu $30 or $257 so IDK it's not a great deal... just a deal on a bunch of over-the-hill stuff working going price and bunch of rebates!
At this point I'd consider working more from a Llano Quad-Core. If all you're looking for is basic home box, an X3/760G is good except real quickly you'll be looking at decent discrete graphic card to upgrade... that's then another $30-50 adder minimum. Now for $300 you could do much better "juggling in" of immeasurably nicer components like, a respectable PSU, healthier spec memory, maybe trade down to a less capacious HDD, all inside a nice little Rosewill FBM-01 Mini Tower.

Here is some weekend pigskin to chew on:
—How hot will it get for Texas?
You thought things couldn't get worse after the Longhorns got scorched by Oklahoma last week at the State Fair of Texas. Friday, though, came word that "Big Tex," the 52-foot icon statue that greets fair visitors, was burned in an electrical fire.
Mack Brown's britches are also warming as his defense has allowed 111 points in two consecutive defeats.
And now that arson squad is asked to put out Baylor's fire?
Baylor not only has two straight wins over Texas, the Bears arrive in Austin with an offense averaging 556 yards and 47 points a game.
Texas is 4-2, but beating Baylor might be imperative to Brown's long-term coaching goals.
"Baylor is capable of putting 50, 60 points on you any day," Texas defensive end Alex Okafor said.
It better not happen Saturday.
—Can Derek Dooley win a big game at Tennessee? The Vols' third-year coach is 0-13 against ranked opponents with No. 1 Alabama coming to Knoxville.
"They change jersey numbers, not guys," Dooley said of Alabama's anonymous greatness index.
Close doesn't count.
In 2009, with Lane Kiffin as coach, Tennessee lost at Alabama by two because nose tackle Terrence Cody blocked two field-goal attempts. Alabama survived and went on to win the Bowl Championship Series title.
Dooley is 14-17 since replacing Kiffin and nursing a surgically repaired hip. Tennessee will honor former coach Phillip Fulmer before the game four years after he was run out of town after a 49-9 loss to Alabama.
Tennessee hasn't defeated a No. 1 since 1985.
Let the festivities begin.
—Is it possible for one-loss Florida State to get back in the national title race? The Seminoles are No. 14 in the first BCS standings as they head south to play Miami. Florida State has one big chip left before it can run the table…Florida. The Gators come to Tallahassee on Nov. 24. If Florida is still undefeated and No. 2 in the BCS standings well, perhaps, there's a sliver of a chance.
— Michigan seeks its Football Bowl Subdivision-record 900th win when the Wolverines host Michigan State in Ann Arbor. The Big Ten's woes have reduced this to a regional rivalry, though it's interesting to note Michigan State has won four straight. "You keep track of those things the rest of your life," Spartans Coach Mark Dantonio said this week.
—Nebraska plays at Northwestern for the first time since 1931. There was a different "shotgun" offense at Dyche Stadium that October day. In attendance for Northwestern's 19-7 win was gangster Al Capone, who was greeted with a "Bronx Cheer" by the crowd of 40,000. The Omaha Bee-News noted Capone was "accompanied by 'Machine-gun Jack' McGurn and several henchmen."
Any surprise it took Nebraska 81 years to come back?
—Oregon State, hosting Utah in Corvallis, seeks its first 6-0 start since 1907. This year's Beavers squad has no chance of allowing fewer points than F.S. Norcross' squad, which outscored the opposition that year, 138-0.
—"Manti Te'o for the Heisman?" Look, if Notre Dame goes undefeated with that offense (No. 76 nationally this week), perhaps voters should consider the Irish's star linebacker.
Notre Dame, for now, needs to focus on beating Brigham Young in advance of next week's trip to Oklahoma.
The Irish, remember, started 8-0 in 2002 and lost three of their last five.
"I think it's great to be 6-0 and have that excitement on campus," Te'o said. "But as we've talked as a team, we haven't done anything yet."
—The "real" Heisman race this week is in Morgantown, where No. 4 Kansas State tries to stay undefeated against West Virginia. The game features two top Heisman candidates in quarterbacks Geno Smith and Collin Klein. The coaching matchup features 73-year-old Bill Snyder against 41-year-old Dana "Kid" Holgorsen.
—Here's the skinny on Texas Tech's Red Raiders after a signature victory: They can't handle it. Texas Tech plays at Texas Christian one week after shocking West Virginia in Lubbock.
Last year, Texas Tech upset No. 1 Oklahoma and then lost its last five games. The last four times the Red Raiders have defeated a ranked opponent, they lost their next game.
—Temple and Rutgers, for so many years the bottom feeders in the Big East, are a combined 5-0 in league play. The teams meet, in Philadelphia, for the first time since 2004, Temple's last season in the Big East before being dismissed for football incompetence. Temple was invited back this year.
How far have these programs come?
Since Big East football started in 1991, Temple leads Rutgers in last-place finishes, 7-6.

Fact: If a WR only has 1 TD for the whole year, and started that whole year......He is NOT a play maker
Fact: If a WR only has 1 TD for the whole year, and started that whole year......He is NOT a play maker
Hmmm, I'm trying to determine what is a play maker for you guys..
a. a guy that makes plays when needed? or
b. a guy who scores TD's when making a play?
I guess my question comes from, was Bess a play maker or not? When we needed first downs, was he a play maker, or did his lack of TD's make him a non play maker?.. so in open field was he a play maker, and in the red zone he was not..is that accurate? Is that his fault or the QB's..because I saw him get open on a number of redzone plays, great moves, but didn't get the ball.. So is it TD's or available for plays and made them when needed?
In mho, both Hartline and Bess were above average receivers when catching the ball, but were average receivers when the ball was in their hands outside the redzone, and marginal inside the redzone..but some of that is QB play..the lack of turning a play into a TD or an extra 20-30 yards after the catch makes them non play makers in my book..but I give a special salute to both for being 1st down machines...they make the hard catch which could be consider a play maker in some circles. I can see that too. YAC defines a play maker for me.
While we're taking stats off of players to make them look average,lets take the Rookie out of Ryan Tannehill and maybe Hartline scores 6 TD's and puts up 1500 yards.
"If foot fetish videos of your wife surface online, and the voice of the cameraman sounds like you, just admit that it was you ... because the alternative is that someone else was filming foot fetish videos of your wife, and I'm pretty sure that's worse." - Bill Simmons's enduring lesson to Rex Ryan.
When Death Smiles Upon You the Infantryman smiles back
WVdolphan "Ireland gets it.
And those who also get it, know that Ireland gets it. Those who are clueless are still concerned about cornfed and the running game"
WVDOLPHAN "The last thing this team should be worried about is the OC(offensive corn). When you add it all up, its really a pretty solid OC"
Hartline is not a "playmaker" , he's a route running specialist with solid speed. Does nothing special. He's a possession receiver with solid not great hands. If You think hartline "makes" plays you don't know playmakers.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth
Anyone consider Wes Welker a play maker?

If the wax ended up squeezing out and partially blocking the drain, that could be the problem. I much prefer to fix the flange so it is the proper height. And, I'm not a fan of the funnels in the wax ring. If that was off-center a little when you set the toilet, it can partially close up and block the output. It can also be problematic on some flange designs. An alternative to fixing the flange is to use a waxless seal - I've used the one from Fluidmaster. That will accommodate the recessed flange. So, it might not be the toilet at all.
If you take the weight off the flapper, it will release more water. Or, you can hold the handle down, which could dump the entire tank (a lot more than 1.28 or 1.6g), you'd get the max. I'd pull the toilet up and verify things are clear, and maybe consider the Fluidmaster seal; then see what happens.

I am supposed to be resting after a trying week of golf in the Lake Tahoe area.
But my blood is boiling, the Dodgers are infuriating and so why do we let our youngsters watch baseball?
I begin with Monday night. I like listening to Vin Scully. He relaxes me, not to say his stories put me to sleep, but he would laugh if I hinted as much.
The Dodgers are winning, and everyone knows they will win if they don't bring in Brandon League, except the team's manager.
League bombed out as a closer in Seattle, which is why he's now employed by the Dodgers. He's a fine relief pitcher, but not a closer, so why are the Dodgers using him as a closer?
Are they that intent on finishing last? Is there some provision in the Guggenheim/McCourt deal that has McCourt making the calls to the pen?
PHOTOS: The 20 greatest Dodgers of all time
Anyone who has watched Kenley Jansen throw knows he doesn't mess around. He just fires the ball and the game is over.
How does anyone who is on vacation go to bed after watching the Dodgers throw a game away? Might as well watch "Criminal Minds" or "The Bachelorette" if wishing to encourage nightmares.
The sun comes up, the Dodgers play again and I know Scully is going to be talking some more about Yasiel Puig. And it's been a long time since we've heard Scully get really excited.
I remember as a kid turning to watch my dad to see if he was laughing while watching some comedian on TV. That was important, although I'm not sure why.
I don't care if the Dodgers win or lose as much as I want to know Scully is having a good time. Hard to explain, but I know now what it's like to no longer have the chance to turn and see if my dad is laughing.
So there I am watching the Dodgers again on Tuesday night when former Dodger Cody Ross gets nicked on the hand when Zach Greinke comes inside with a pitch. OK, it happens.
Puig comes up a short time later, and he looks like he can hit anything. No human has ever been able to do that. Maybe Ted Williams was the best, but he was only successful four times out of 10.
The Diamondbacks pitched him high and inside Monday night, and the Braves did the same.
Arizona pitcher Ian Kennedy not only goes high and inside but nails Puig in the face. Kennedy is having a terrible year, which means he hasn't been hitting his spots, but why do I think he did in this case?
I tell the wife someone on Arizona's team is going to get hit now because baseball players are macho stupid like that.
PHOTOS: Puig breathes life into Dodgers' season
She's grading papers written by her fifth-graders and I wonder why she's never asked me to speak to her class about writing? I can't tell you how many people have suggested I write just like a fifth-grader.
Arizona comes to bat and Greinke throws behind Miguel Montero, the ball hitting Montero. Montero shows a rare flash of maturity for a major league player. He takes a step toward Greinke, but then moves to first base.
Then Greinke picks up a bat. Greinke may be the Dodgers' second-best hitter next to Puig, and Kennedy goes head hunting.
Now this is where baseball purists and hypocrites unite in how they explain what just happened. The purists will tell you it's up to the players to police the game, these hypocrites then explaining there is no place in baseball for head hunting.
It's assault. Pure and simple, kids. A guy has a ball in his hand, and when he throws at someone he is assaulting their good health. There is nothing to admire in such potential brutality.
A few inches off and a player might spend the night in a hospital or lose his opportunity to make millions if there is further damage.
Do a similar thing outside the ballpark, go vigilante on someone and the cops are called.
Fans love it, and consider it show of toughness. But where is the nobility in pitchers taking turns trying to hit the guy on the swing sitting in a water tank?
Andre Ethier reacted like an athlete should, kids. They hit Puig, and he hit the ball out of the park to help beat them.
Didn't we learn anything watching "West Side Story," always a chance a rumble isn't going to go right?
The prime combatants in this fracas for the Dodgers were Ronald Belisario, J.P. Howell and Puig.
I didn't know Howell played for the Dodgers and he was draped all over Turner Ward. He's the Diamondbacks' assistant hitting coach and I still don't know why Howell was so steamed at him.
Mark McGwire was in Kirk Gibson's face and then was holding on to Arizona coach Matt Williams.
If McGwire was doing his job as a hitting coach he would have thrown a bear hug around Puig instead of allowing him to get thrown out of the game. And later maybe suspended.
I just wanted a little time listening to Scully.
But if this keeps up and I might have to return to work and start throwing the barbs.

Information and links from this page are intended to assist people who may have accommodation problems and for those who are seeking practical Housing Advice.
We provide advice and assistance on a wide range of housing related problems.
Many people living in accommodation in the private sector, are unsure of their rights and are unsure where they can go for help. Also, many landlords renting out accommodation are not aware that we can offer impartial advice regarding problems they may experience with their tenants.
We provide advice on: -
Homelessness - advice and assistance can be given at any time if people think they may be homeless in the future, or where they are already homeless.
Housing Options - we offer advice on the range of options which are available to people who are looking for alternative housing.
The Homesearch Housing Waiting List - The Council maintains a waiting list of people who wish to be considered for Council or Housing Association accommodation. Once an applicant is on the waiting list, they can apply for individual vacancies which are advertised under the Homesearch scheme. If you wish to go on the waiting list, please use the contact details above request an application form.
Notices to leave accommodation- this includes notices given to tenants because a tenancy is coming to an end, tenancy agreements that have expired or are expiring, and issues where tenants may have breached the terms of their tenancy agreement (for example, by non payment of rent).
Rent Increases- in most situations, a landlord must follow a set procedure if he wants a tenant to pay more rent.
Disrepair- people living in private rented accommodation can often have problems with disrepair and many landlords and tenants are not aware of their obligations. There are also some schemes available to people that own their homes.
Deposits- at the end of a tenancy, deposit money may be withheld for different reasons. Advice can be given to landlords and tenants in relation to this.
Relationship Breakdown- many people are not aware of their rights when they separate from a partner. Advice can be given regarding their housing situation and any benefits they may be entitled to.
Mortgages- people fall into mortgage arrears for many different reasons, such as unemployment or health problems. There are various options available which can prevent someone from losing their home, even if court proceedings have already begun.
Long Leaseholders with a private Freeholder- problems can be experienced with the Freeholder, for example, in relation to Service Charges.
Landlords - if you have a property to rent within the New Forest, there are a variety of schemes available to assist you.
