  1. Barbara, you're in. Will send you the details tomorrow.
  2. That's cool. I'd like to know how the 3rd baseman realized he was in a triple-play situation.
  3. That'll do a number on your self-esteem. He's a starting pitcher for the Reds now.
  4. Currently 10-0, 1 out in the top of the 2nd in Arizona. Correction: Now 2 outs, and Bronx cheers.
  5. Right now I've got 8: Flygirl +1 Pjnewman +1 myzuk +1 ol_ironstomach +1
  6. If you're a Caps' fan, the goal they just scored was a gift from heaven. If you're not, it was horrific. P.S. I called my brother, the goalie, to tell him about this, and now I'm part of a Tarzan bedtime story for my nieces and nephew. Addendum: "Dont kick your sister."
  7. Switches from hockey to see Harper smack a 3-run homer to make it 7-2. Five homers, 10 RBIs in 2 games. Why didn't I go to this game???? 5 homers tonight, so far.
  8. I'm a little late to this, but when I read your comment my first thought was, "The defensemen pinched". I didn't see the Rangers' goal, so I just looked it up, and yeah, the defensemen pinched. (They didn't hang out along the blue line but instead made their way into the offensive zone; a negative result of this can be the other team taking advantage of a turnover because the defensemen are out of position.)
  9. Paul, the meeting place will be the visitors center; I'll PM attendees with further info.
  10. Quote from the article: "Separately, the appeal document also says that the impact on Kurniawan's victims has been exaggerated. 'The prices paid for the bottles of counterfeit wine greatly exaggerated the real financial impact on the purchasers,' the document says. 'That is not to say that Rudy's conduct in any way should be lauded or excused,' it adds." My head hurts.
  11. Right now I've got: Flygirl +1 Pjnewman +1 myzuk BTW, this will go on even if I don't hit 15. That's just the max I can take by myself. As another aside, because llaine brought it up, if you have mobility problems I can and will do my best to accommodate you. There are elevators galore and wheelchairs available for use, along with some shuttle service.
  12. Since there is no building standing at the address, this is at least 2 years down the road. My mind doesn't equate "winery" with a place this size...
  13. Although it's a different national anthem, I'm going to put this here: Back when the Canadian Football League did its ill-fated expansion into the States (the most successful team was the Baltimore CFL Colts, which turned into the Stallions after the NFL sued), one of the teams was in Las Vegas. At one game, the singer tried to sing "O Canada" to the tune of "O Christmas Tree". And some of the words got messed up. Seriously. It may have made the news across the Great White North...
  14. Right now Angel Pagan of the San Francisco Giants is one of the best I know about. On the same vein, Miroslav Satan (pronounced Shah-tahn) played for the New Jersey Devils, among other NHL teams.
  15. From July 25-September 10 the 2nd floor will be closed (this includes the Rotunda, Statuary Hall, and the Old Senate Chamber) as they install scaffolding and protection around all of the artwork and statues in the Rotunda for the next round of dome repair. Right now there's just a large canopy covering a good chunk of the Apotheosis. Since the Rotunda and Statuary Hall are the two most popular tour spots, this is a big deal. The first floor, which includes the Crypt, the Old Supreme Court Chamber, the Brumidi Corridors, and the Cox Corridors, will be open, although I don't know if the Capitol Guide Service will include the latter two as part of the standard tour during the 2nd floor closure. During the August recess, the House and Senate galleries will be open Monday-Friday. As for your question, Don, I believe they're rosettes.
