The Phils get crush as they lose to the Marlins, 14-5.
The Phils' bullpen give up eight runs late in the game, as the Phils end up being crushed by the fish, losing to the Marlins, 14-5.
The Phils took the lead in the top of the first as, with one man on, and with two men out, Ryan Howard hits an RBI double, knocking in Carlos Ruiz, who was safe at first on first baseman Garrett Jones' missing catch error, after having originally been called out, which was then overturned on Phils' manager Ryne Sandberg's challenge, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. The Phils then made it a 2-0 lead as Marlon Byrd followed with an RBI single, scoring Howard. The Marlins got a run back in their half of the first as, with two men on, and with one man out, Casey McGehee hits an RBI single, knocking in Derek Dietrich, who had earlier doubled, making it a 2-1 Phils' lead, while sending Giancarlo Stanton, who had just walked, over to third base. The Marlins then tied the game up at two-all as Jones hits a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Stanton. The Marlins took the lead in the bottom of the third as, with a runner on third, and with one man out, Stanton hits an RBI ground out, 4-3, scoring Dietrich, who had just tripled, giving the Marlins a 3-2 lead. The Phils would retie the game up at three-all in the top of the fourth as, with runners on second and third, and with one man out, Tony Gwynn, Jr. hits an RBI single, knocking in Byrd, who had started the inning off with a single, stopped at second base on Cody Asche's single, then moved up to third on Dom Brown's soft ground out, 1-3, while sending Asche, who had earlier singled, then moved up to second base on Brown's ground out, up to third base. The Marlins regained the lead in their half of the fourth as, with runners on the corners, and with one man out, Marcell Ozuna hits an RBI single, scoring Jones, who had started the inning off with a double, then moved up to third base on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's fly out to center field, making it a 4-3 Marlins' lead, while sending Ed Lucas, who had just walked, up to second base. The Marlins added to their lead two batters later, after Nathan Eovaldi had hit a sacrifice bunt that loaded up the bases, as Lucas and Ozuna both moved up a base, and with still one man out, Christian Yelich hits an RBI single, scoring Lucas, giving the Marlins a 5-3 lead, while moving up both runners up a base, leaving the bases loaded. The Marlins then made it a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth as, with one man on, and with two men out, Yelich hits an RBI triple, knocking in Ozuna, who had earlier been safe at first on a force out, 6-4, as Lucas, who had started the inning off with a single, is wiped out at second base for the inning's first out. The Marlins then broke the game wide open in the bottom of the seventh as, with the bases loaded, via a single by Jones, a walk by Saltalamacchia, moving Jones up to second base, and a single by Lucas, moving up both runners, and with two men out, Ozuna hits a grand slam home run, his seventh home run of the season, knocking in Jones, Saltalamacchia and Lucas, giving the Marlins a 10-3 lead. The Phils got two runs back in the top of the eighth as, with one man and with nobody out, Brown hits a two-run home run, his third home run of the season, knocking in Asche, who had started the inning off with an infield single, making it a 10-5 Marlins' lead. The Marlins got a run back in their half of the eighth as, with the bases loaded once again, via a single by Yelich, who then moved up to second base on pitcher Luis Garcia's wild pitch, a walk by Dietrich, and then a walk to McGehee, moving up both runners, and with one man out, Jones received a walk, forcing in Yelich, making it an 11-5 Marlins' lead, while Dietrich and McGehee both moved up a base. The Marlins then made it an 13-5 lead as Saltalamacchia hits a two-run single, knocking in Dietrich and McGehee, while moving Jones up to second base. The Marlins added another run two batters later as, with the bases loaded once again, after Lucas had grounded out 4-3, moving up both runners and Ozuna had walked, and now with two men out, pinch-hitter Donovan Solano hits an RBI infield single to the pitcher Garcia, scoring Jones, while Saltalamachia and Ozuna both moved up a base, making it a 14-5 Marlins' lead. That would end up being the final score as Kevin Slowey pitched a scoreless ninth, getting Asche to strike out, swinging, to end the game.
Kyle Kendrick (0-5, 4.53) took the lost as he lasted five and two-thirds innings, giving up six runs on seven hits and two walks, while striking out three. Mario Hollands pitched a third of an inning, giving up a hit. Jeff Manship pitched an inning, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk. Luis Garcia also pitched an inning, as he gave up four runs on three hits, four walks and a wild pitch, striking out two. Nathan Eovaldi (3-2, 3.41) got the win as he went six innings, giving up three runs, only one of which was earned, on ten hits and a walk, while striking out two. Mike Dunn collected his fifth hold of the year as he pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out two. Matt Capps pitched an inning, giving up two runs on two hits, a walk and a hit batter. Kevin Slowey pitched a scoreless inning, giving up two hits, while striking out a batter.
The Phils banged out fourteen hits in a losing effort, with Jimmy Rollins (Single, Double, becoming tied for second place with Richie Ashburn for most career hits as a Phil with 2217), Marlon Byrd (Singles, RBI), Cody Asche (Singles) and Tony Gwynn, Jr. (Singles, RBI), all leading the team with two hits each. Chase Utley (Single), Ryan Howard (Double, RBI), Dom Brown (Home Run, 2 RBIs), Kyle Kendrick (Single), Reid Brignac (Single) and John Mayberry, Jr. (Double) had the other six Phils' hits. The Phils also had two walls (Byrd, Gwynn) and a stolen base (Gwynn (2)) in the game.
Some recent news…
This past Friday, Jim Thome announced that he was doing what he could do, physically, to get himself ready to occasionally play first base (expected to be at least once a week) both before and after Ryan Howard returns, although during the season the Phils will be using him mainly as a late-innings pinch-hitting threat, like they did with Matt Stairs in late 2008 and 2009. Although the Phils will most likely be using Ty Wigginton as their everyday first baseman with John Mayberry playing the position against certain lefties during the regular season, until Howard's expected return in late May, it is nice to know that Thome is getting himself ready for when he is called upon to play the position.
On Monday, it was announced that former Phils announcer Andy Musser died on Sunday at the age of 74 at his home in Wynnewood, PA. Musser was a member of the Phils' broadcasting crew from 1976-2001, working with Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn and Ford C. Frick Award winners Harry Kalas and Tim McCarver, as well as present Phil broadcaster Chris Wheeler. Rest in Peace, Chris, and late condolences to your family.
Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: At-Bat Champions.
During the team's previous 127-year history, twelve Phillies players have led the National League in at-bats a total of 20 times, with four of them winning it more than once.
The first Phil to lead the NL in at-bats was Hall of Famer Sam Thompson, who would win it in 1893 with 600 at-bats. The next Phil to lead the NL would be Duff Cooley, who in 1897 ended up in a four-way tie with Gene DeMontreville of the Washington Senators, Fred Tenney of the Boston Beaneaters and George Van Haltren of the New York Giants, who all finished that year with 566 at-bats. The third Phil to lead the NL in at-bats was Eddie Grant, who would do it in two straight seasons, with 598 at-bats in 1908, and leading again in 1909 with 631 at-bats. The fourth Phil to lead the league in at-bats would do so twenty-four years later, as Chick Fullis would have the most at-bats in 1933 with 647 of them. Phils nos. five and six would be tied for the lead in 1949 as Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn and Granny Hamner would both end the season in a tie for first with 662 at-bats. The next Phil to lead the NL was Larry Bowa, who ended the 1971 season with 650 at-bats. Phil no. eight would be Dave Cash, who would lead the league in three straight years, 1974 (687), 1975 (699) and 1976 (666), helping to lead the team to the first of three NL Eastern Division pennants that year. The ninth Phil to lead the league in official at-bats would be Juan Samuel, who, like Cash, would lead the NL in three seasons, 1984 (701), 1985 (663) and 1987 (655). The next Phil to lead the league in at-bats was Lenny Dykstra, who did so in 1993, the year that the Phils won the NL pennant, with 637 at bats. The eleventh Phil to lead the league would be Doug Glanville, who would have 678 at-bats in 1998. The twelfth, and presently last, Phil to lead the NL in at-bats is Jimmy Rollins, who would lead the lead in at-bats in four different seasons, 2001 (656), 2002 (637), 2007 (716), the year that he won the MVP as he help lead the Phils to their first NL Eastern Division title since 1993 and 2009 (672), the season that the Phils would win their first back-to-back NL pennants.
During the twenty times that a Phil had led the league in officials at-bats, three had done so while tied with another player, in 1897 (4-way tie) and 1949 (2-way tie between two Phils). Phils would lead the NL twice in the 19th Century, fifteen times in the 20th Century and four times, so far, in the 21st Century. Two of the Phils to lead the league were Hall of Famers (Sam Thompson in 1893 and Richie Ashburn in 1949). Jimmy Rollins had done it the most times with four, followed by both Juan Samuel and Dave Cash, who have each done it three times, then Eddie Grant, who did it twice. The rest have done it only once. Jimmy Rollins would have the highest total of at-bats with his 716 in 2007 and Duff Cooley would have the least with his 566 official at-bats in 1897.
Who would most likely be the next Phil to lead the NL in at-bats? Most likely Jimmy Rollins, if he can keep from getting injured.
Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: On-Based Percentage Champions.
In its 128-year history as a member of the National League, the Phillies have won twenty-one on-base percentage titles. Thirteen Phils have won the title, with five of them winning it more than once.
The first Phil to win the title was Hall of Famer Billy Hamilton, who did in it 1891 with a .453 percentage. He would win the second and third title to be won by a Phil player by winning it two years in a row, in 1893 and again in 1894, with on-base percentages of .490 and .521, respectively. Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty would become the second Phil to win the team's fourth title, the fourth in five years, by winning it in 1895 with an on-base percentage of .500. The next Phil to win the title would be Roy Thomas, who would win the Phil's fifth and sixth titles in 1902 and 1903, with marks of .414 and .453. The fourth Phil to win the title, the team's seventh, would be Sherry Magee, who would win it in 1910, with a .445 percentage. The fifth Phil to win the title would be Gavvy Cravath, who won the title in 1915, the year that the Phils won their first National League title and in 1916, with marks of .393 and .379. It would be fourteen years before another Phil would win the team's tenth title, which would be done by Lefty O'Doul in 1929 with a mark of .465. The seventh Phil to win the title would be Hall of Famer Chuck Klein, who would win the team's eleventh title in 1933, the year that he won the batting triple crown, by posting an on-base percentage of .422. The eighth Phil to win the title would be Dolph Camilli, who would win the title in 1937 with a .446 percentage. The next Phil to secure the title would be Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn, who would win the title in 1954, 1955 and 1958, with percentages of .441, .449 and .440. The tenth Phil to become the on-base percentage leader would be Dick Allen, who would win the title in 1967 with a .404 mark. Pete Rose would become the eleventh Phil to win it, winning the team's seventeenth title in 1979 with a .418 mark. The twelfth Phil to win the title would be Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, who would it in the strike-shortened year of 1981, 1982 and 1983 with marks of .435, .403 and .399. The thirteenth, and at the moment last, Phil to win the title would be Lenny Dykstra, who won the team's twenty-first title in 1990 with a .418 mark. No Phil has won the title since then.
Of the twenty-one titles won by the Phils, eleven of them, or almost half of them, have been won by Hall of Famers, with Billy Hamilton, Richie Ashburn and Mike Schmidt each winning three titles, while Ed Delahanty and Chick Klein would win the other two titles. Roy Thomas and Gavvy Cravath, other than the three Hall of Famers, have won more than one title, with each man winning two titles. The Phil with the highest on-base percentage when he won the title was Hamilton with his .521 mark in 1894, while the Phil with the lowest percentage was Cravath with his .379 mark in 1916. Phils have won the title four times in the 19th Century, seventeen times in the 20th, and so far have not won it in the 21st Century.
Who will be the next Phil to win the title? I have really no idea.
Preview: Phillies v. Padres – 7:05 pm Eastern.
The Phillies (4-4, 3rd) are now home for a seven-games home stand, starting with a four-games weekend series with the San Diego Padres (7-3, T-1st National League West). The first game of the four-game series will be played tonight at Citizens Bank Park and will start after 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies' starter will be their ace Cole Hamels (0-1, 17.18), who is coming off a rocky start against the Colorado Rockies on April 10. In that game, he gave up seven runs on eleven hits and a walk, while striking out only one batter, in three and two-thirds innings of work, in the Phils' 10-3 lost. He will be trying to recover from that poor start. The Padres will counter with Chris Young (2-0, 1.38), who is coming off a win against the San Francisco Giants on April 12, where he pitched seven strong innings, giving up no runs on four hits, while striking out seven, in the Padres' 6-1 win. He will be looking to increase his record to 3-0 at the Phillies' expense. The Phillies will be looking for their first winning series at home.
Before tonight's ballgame, the Phillies will be doing several tributes in honor of the late Harry Kalas, who died before last Monday's afternoon game in Washington, D.C. During the home stand, the flag in Ashburn Alley will be hung at half-mast in his honor, while his signature will be displayed on the field. Also, there will be a black drape placed in front of both the Phillies' TV and radio broadcast booths. The Phillies will rename the TV broadcast booth in his honor, calling it the Harry Kalas Broadcast Booth: "That's ball's outta here!", as a companion to the radio broadcast booth which is named the Richie 'Whitey" Ashburn Broadcast Booth: "This game's easy, Harry." in honor of Hall of Fame outfielder, fellow broadcaster, and Kalas' friend, Richie Ashburn. Comcast Network Philadelphia has announced that there will be no commentary made during the first half inning of tonight's game. On the outfield wall, there will be a billboard honoring Kalas. Throughout the rest of the season, a recording of Kalas' famous catch phrase: "Outta here !" will be played on the PA system everytime a Phillie batter hits a home run. During tonight's seventh-inning stretch, on PhanaVision, a video with him singing 'High Hopes' will be shown, and fans will be encouraged to sing along.
Before the game, which fans are encouraged to attend early, his three sons, Todd, Brad and Kane will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. There will be held a moment of silence in Kalas' honor, before his son, Kane, sings the national anthem. A video on his career will also be shown on PhanaVision. Lastly, all fans in attendence will be giving an 8 X 10 color picture of Harry Kalas, a commemorative program, and a poem that he wrote in 2002 as a tribute to the fans.
The Phillies announced that they have lost their voice as Harry Kalas dies in Washington hospital hours before today's game.
This was earlier posted on Phillies.com:
Phils broadcaster Kalas passes away
Long-time announcer collapses prior to Monday's game
WASHINGTON — Long-time Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas died at 1:20 p.m. ET Monday, shortly after collapsing in the team's broadcast booth before the scheduled series opener against the Nationals.
"We lost Harry. I've been 39 years with the Phillies and 39 years with Harry and, as I said in this clubhouse, we lost our voice today," said team president and CEO David Montgomery at about 1:50 p.m. outside the team's clubhouse. "He has loved our game and made just a tremendous contribution to our sport and certainly to our organization."
The 73-year old Kalas was found in the team's broadcast booth around 12:30 p.m. and was taken to George Washington University Medical Center. Team officials quickly cleared the locker room and talked with the Phillies.
Montgomery said he didn't know the exact cause of death yet.
"I know that when they took him away that they were very concerned," he said.
Kalas had been the team's broadcaster for the past 38 years. Prior to that, he was a member of the Houston Astros' broadcast team from 1965-70. He was inducted into the broadcaster's wing of the Hall of Fame in 2002 and received the 2002 Ford C. Frick Award.
Montgomery said Monday's game would be played, but that the Phillies were going to reach out to the White House and pass up Tuesday's scheduled trip there.
H/T Phillies.com
Like a lot of Phillies' fans, I grew up listening to both him and Richie Ashburn. Now they're both gone. Goodbye, Harry, thanks for all those wonderful broadcasts, and I hope that Richie will be the first one there to meet you in broadcaster heaven.
Excuse me, folks, but I need a hanky.
Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: Singles Champions.
In 126-years as a member of the National League, the Phillies have won twenty singles titles. Eleven Phils have won the title, with five of them doing it multiple times.
The first Phil to win the singles title was Hall of Famer Billy Hamilton, who, in 1890, ended up in a tie for first place with Cliff Carroll of the Chicago Colts (now the Cubs), with each men hitting 137 singles. Hamilton then won the title outright in 1891-92 and 1894 with 147 (1891), 152 (1892) and 176 (1894) singles each. The second Phillie player to win the title, the fifth to be won by a Phil, was Eddie Grant, who won it with 147 singles in 1909. In 1910, Grant won his second straight singles title by hitting 134 of them that season. The next Phil to win the singles title was Beals Becker, who hit 128 singles in 1914. The fourth Phillies player to win the tile was Lefty O'Doul, winning it in 1929, in a tie with Hall of Famer Lloyd 'Little Poison' Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, with each man getting 181 singles, presently the Phillies' record for the most singles hit in a season. The fifth Phil to become the singles champ was Chick Fullis, doing it in 1933 with 161 singles. Eddie Waitkus became the sixth Phil to win the singles title, helping to lead the Phils to their second National League title in 1950, by hitting 143 of them. The following year, 1951, Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn won the first of his four singles championships, as he hit 181 singles, in the process tying Lefty O'Doul's record. He won his second singles title, hitting 169 singles in 1953, then won his third title in 1957 with 152 and then his fourth and final title the following season, 1958, with 176. The next Phil to win the title was Dave Cash, who won it with 167 singles in 1974, then won it for the second straight year with 166 singles in 1975. Three years later, Larry Bowa became the ninth Phil to win the title as he hit 153 singles in 1978, the year the Phils won their third straight National League Eastern Division title. Pete Rose, the following season, became the tenth Phils to win the title, as he hit 159 singles in 1979. Rose won his second singles title as a Phillie player by hitting 117 singles in the strike-shortened season of 1981. The eleventh and final Phil to win the singles title was Doug Glanville, doing it in 1999 with 149 singles. No Phillie player has won the title since then.
Of the twenty singles titles won by the Phils, almost half of them, eight, has been won by two Hall of Famers, Billy Hamilton (4) and Richie Ashburn (also 4). Three other Phils have won two titles each, Eddie Grant, Dave Cash and Pete Rose. Two Phils have won the title tied with another player, Hamilton in 1890 and Lefty O'Doul in 1929. The Phils to have hit the most singles to win the title were O'Doul (1929) and Ashburn (1951) with 181, which is still the Phillies' record for most singles in a season. The Phil to have won the title with the least number of singles was Pete Rose with only 117 in the strike-shortened season of 1981. The Phillies have won four singles titles in the 19th Century, sixteen in the 20th, and, so far, none in the 21st Century.
Who will be the next Phils to win the single titles? At this time, I really have no clue who might win it.

They say that no two children are ever alike. After the birth of my second daughter, I realize this statement couldn't be any more true. My first child was always pretty happy go lucky, would entertain herself for hours, and once she was asleep in her crib, there was very little that could disturb her.
Eight years later we added another little one to the mix. From the moment she was born, we knew that she would be a handful. She already had a hilarious personality, but by the time she was a year old we also realize she had a mischievous streak.
Once she could crawl, it was a whole different ball game. Turning your head for one second would mean he was dumping out her blocks, spilling over my coffee, or trying to remove every article of clothing she has.
When it came to naps and bedtime, she really needed to have an ion her, while also learning that she needed to rest. Never did I need a baby monitor more with my kids then I do now and with my youngest. It can be hard to get everything else I need to get done during the day finished when I have to constantly check on if my little one is still close it, or if she has thrown her pacifier halfway across the room.
When picking a baby monitor, you really do need to reach for the top of the line. They have to be reliable, and they have to have modern technology so you can not only keep tabs on your little one, but also know what you are looking at with crystal clear picture.

No more starting up the stairs and checking on every little squeak, the Willow by Levana has empowered me and allowed me to stay focused on the tasks I need to get done during naptime without constant breaks.
Why Levana? The answer is simple, it's because our children deserve the very best. With our house running on all of the most current technology, I don't trust any monitor To keep an eye on my little one except this one.
With features like these you'll understand why;

2- 12 Hour Battery Life with Rapid Re-Charging
3- 50/50 Split Screen View

The Southwest Guaranteed Home Equity Program was created by Illinois statute and approved by voters in 1988. It is a home value protection program for Greater Ashburn, which is defined as Wrightwood and parts of Ashburn and Scottsdale.
Through the program, homeowners will be able to sell their primary Greater Ashburn property at a guaranteed price if they pay Cook County real estate taxes and belong to the program for at least 5 years.
The program is financed by an annual levy on all one- to six-unit residential properties within the home equity district. The levy appears as "SW HOME EQUITY ASSURANCE 1" on the Cook County real estate tax bill. This identifies that homeowners are paying into the program through their taxes.

Expert step-by-step instruction for water heater repair and troubleshooting, including hot water heater problems such as no hot water, not enough hot water, water too hot, water heater noises, and more.
Water heater problems normally become self-evident. For example, you turn on a hot water faucet and it fails to summon hot water. Or you see water dripping or puddling near the water heater. Or the water heater tank makes strange pinging and gurgling sounds. If any of those things have happened, this article will help you troubleshoot and repair the problem.
Though some gas utility companies will solve problems with a gas water heater's gas supply, they won't fix other water heater problems. Either you fix it yourself or you call a pro to repair it. Calling a pro often means waiting a day or two without hot water and then paying a healthy repair bill. Consequently, it helps to know how to solve basic outages yourself, as discussed below. For more difficult issues, you can find a qualified local water heater repair person through our affiliate partner, HomeAdvisor.
Before you try to fix typical water heater problems such as a leaking tank or not enough hot water, it helps to understand how a storage water heater works.
No Hot Water
No hot water is by far the most aggravating problem with a water heater. This means the water heater is not working at all. In most cases, it isn't working because the energy source—typically gas or electricity—is not producing heat.
Repairing the problem of no hot water will depend on the type of water heater you have: gas or electric. Though gas water heaters and electric water heaters look very similar, they heat water differently. And the equipment they use to turn energy into heat is not the same.
If you're not sure whether your water heater is gas or electric, look for a flue (round chimney pipe) at the top. A flue indicates that the water heater is gas. An appliance that burns a fuel such as gas or propane must vent the combustion gasses (exhaust) to the outdoors through a flue. In addition, a gas water heater has a burner (like a gas cooktop) at the bottom, typically behind a small metal viewing door.
An electric water heater, on the other hand, doesn't burn fuel and produce combustion gasses, so it doesn't need a flue at the top. It does, however, need an electrical hookup that connects to an electrical circuit breaker in an electrical panel because it has electric heating elements inside the tank.
Gas water heater repairs. If you have a gas water heater that doesn't heat the water enough or at all, or one that has a pilot light that won't stay lit, please see Gas Hot Water Heater Problems & Repairs.
Electric water heater repairs. If you have an electric water heater that doesn't heat the water enough or at all, please see Electric Hot Water Heater Problems & Repairs.
On this page, we'll help you troubleshoot and repair problems that are common to both gas and electric water heaters.
Not Enough Hot Water
One of the most common water heater problems is that it doesn't produce enough hot water. Before you do anything else, adjust the temperature dial on the front of the water heater. Wait a little while, then check the water temperature at a faucet. If adjusting the temperature dial doesn't do the trick, try the water heater troubleshooting methods below.
If it seems like you never have enough hot water in your home, your water heater may be too small. If the problem is chronic—or if you've increased your needs for hot water by installing a big new soaking tub or high-flow shower head—you'll probably need to get a new, larger water heater—see our Water Heater Buying Guide. Be sure to look into tankless water heaters because, with this type, you never run out of hot water.
If your water heater suddenly seems to supply less hot water (you've had enough hot water in the recent past but not now), first check the dial on the water heater, as discussed above. Then continue with the following water heater troubleshooting advice.
NOTE: If outdoor temperatures have dropped significantly, your water heater must work harder to heat-up and maintain the cold inbound water. Also, because the water cools more as it travels through pipes that run through unheated spaces, you'll need to adjust the water heater's dial to a slightly hotter temperature.
Make sure your water heater doesn't leak—check around its base for signs of water. If neither of these issues are the problem, flush the water heater tank to clear out mineral deposits that reduce the heater's efficiency (see video below).
Test the temperature-pressure relief valve, by lifting and lowering its handle. You should hear the sound of escaping pressure and some water should drain from the overflow pipe. This valve keeps pressure from building up too much in the boiler. If it doesn't work, see How to Replace a Water Heater TP Relief Valve.
If these measures don't do the job, the dip tube that supplies cold water to the tank may be broken or cracked. This plastic tube is supposed to direct cold water to the bottom of the water heater tank, but, if it breaks or splits (which commonly happens over time), cold water pours in at the top of the tank and mixes with the hot water that is on its way to the hot water pipes.
Either have the dip tube replaced by a water heater repair pro (HomeAdvisor), or, if the water heater is out of warranty and showing other signs of age, consider replacing it—a new water heater is likely to operate more efficiently. You can see more about how to replace the dip tube in the Ron Hazelton video below.
Hot Water Is Too Hot
Clearly, the first thing to do if your hot water is too hot is turn down the temperature on the water heater's thermostat dial. Note the present setting (or mark it with a felt-tip pen), and then turn it toward a cooler setting, wait a couple of hours, and see if the problem is solved. If it isn't continue with the following water heater troubleshooting advice:
If steam or excessively hot water shoots out of faucets, or you hear boiling sounds inside the water heater, the appliance may not be shutting off at its set temperature.
The job of the temperature-pressure (TP) relief valve is to release excessive pressure from steam buildup, but this valve may have been improperly installed, or it may be faulty.
Either way, this condition can be dangerous, both because hot water and steam can scald people and because the water heater could rupture.
Turn down the water heater's temperature and allow the water to cool, then replace the water heater's pressure relief valve.
Hot Water Is Discolored or Smells Bad
If your water has a strange odor, first determine whether the problem is with the source water or the water heater.
If the problem is with both the hot and the cold water, or if only the cold water smells, the problem is more likely with your source water.
Iron, copper, and other minerals can cause discoloration in water. To solve these kinds of issues, consider installing a whole house water filter and/or a water softener.
If the problem is only with the hot water, in most cases the odor is caused by a reaction between the hot water heater's anode rod and water that has a high concentration of sulfates.
Let the hot water run for two or three minutes. If it smells a bit like rotten eggs, you can try flushing the hot water heater tank (see How to Flush a Water Heater). If this doesn't solve the problem, the anode rod may need replacement. A flexible anode rod, available through Amazon, is easier than a long, rigid one to insert into a water heater if there is limited space above the tank. If you need help, call a water heater repair person.
If you smell a garlic-like scent, the pilot light may have gone out. Turn the gas valve control to OFF (you may have to push down to turn it). Wait until the gas smell has dissipated before relighting the pilot light. If the gas smell is strong and doesn't dissipate, immediately turn off the gas supply valve, ventilate the space, and call a plumber or your gas utility company from a remote location.
Debris In Hot Water
Are little white flakes showing up in your hot water? These flakes, which can accumulate in faucet aerators, shower heads, and the like, are usually caused by a white plastic dip tube inside the water heater that is disintegrating.
This helpful video, by Ron Hazelton, explains how a failing conventional water heater can cause debris in your water. He shows how to replace the dip tube.
In the latter part of the video, he decides to remove and replace his failing water heater with a tankless water heater, and walks the viewer through the process.
Water Heater Makes Noises
Noises coming from a water heater can be caused by expanding and contracting metal parts; drips; or, more likely, minerals and hard water scale accumulations inside the tank or on an electric water heater's heating elements. When heated, dissolved hard water minerals recrystallize and form scale that cakes onto interior surfaces, making the water heater less efficient and more likely to fail.
To minimize corrosive minerals through ionization, water heaters have a magnesium or aluminum anode rod (as discussed above), inserted through the top of the tank.
To avoid scale in the first place, every few months flush out the water heater tank.
Here are some common water heater sounds you might hear:
Water heater pops, bangs, or gurgles
These sounds are caused by the buildup of hard water sediment heating up and exploding inside the tank. You can flush out the tank yourself, although by the time you're hearing this sound the sediment chunks may be too large to pass through the drain valve. For more, please see How to Flush or Drain a Water Heater.
If you have an electric water heater, these sounds could indicate a buildup of scale on your heating elements; it may be time to replace these.
Water heater makes a boiling sound
If water sounds like it is boiling inside the tank, this could indicate overheating and a dangerous pressure buildup. Call a service professional immediately.

- Gas Hot Water Heater Repairs
- Electric Water Heater Repairs
- Water Heater Is Leaking
- Tankless Water Heater Repairs
Here are a few helpful tips regarding safe, efficient water heater usage:
• Check the water heater's temperature setting. Set the temperature control to about 150 degrees F. or lower if you have no dishwasher or if you have small children or elderly people in the home who might scald themselves.
• Insulate hot water pipes. To minimize the energy it takes to heat the water, insulate your water pipes if they run a long way from your heater to your faucets. If you can gain access to your hot-water pipes, from the basement, for example, put foam water pipe insulation sleeves onto them to minimize heat loss.
• Periodically check the temperature-pressure relief valve, which keeps pressure in the boiler from building up too much. Lift or lower the lever on this valve. Water should drain from the overflow pipe. (For more about this, see How to Replace a Water Heater's TP Valve.)

Hello citizens of Dalaran,
We are glad to announce that the Beta sessions of the Icecrown Citadel patch are already structured and the first Beta will start on Friday 16th and will last until Monday 19th. This will be a meticulous process and we will ask a thorough collaboration from the group of testers.
The testers will receive a wide list of things to check out that will require a full raid or group environment. After each Beta session, the testers should make a compendium report with the results about each of the points. The testers can also check out other things that are not in the list and add it later as a result.
The first Beta session is scheduled to only test the different raid difficulties of Icecrown Citadel (10 and 25 Normal and Heroic). The testing requirements could be summarized into; Tactics with their abilities/spells, visual and cosmetic details and feedback regarding the lack of buffs.
We would prefer if players willing to participate in the Beta sessions are raid groups already attuned to enter Icecrown Citadel and geared enough to have a proper raid performance. There will be no attunement required to enter the raids on the PTR.
We have tried to polish the content as much as possible with a lot of effort, love and motivation and in fact we think that the results are great (from roleplays, visual effects, events to encounter mechanics). We do expect some issues to appear when it is tested on a real player based raid environment though, but nothing major that it can not be quickly fixed before the official release.
A representative from the guild groups that are willing to participate in the First Beta Sessions regarding Icecrown Citadel raid has to send the registration to: email@example.com with the subject title: Name of your guild – Icecrown Citadel Beta.
The content of the email should be:
1) A list of the participants from your guild, keep in mind that the volume of players can be as long as you desire and you can divide them in the number of raid groups you consider best, you can bring alters to help with the testing purposes.
2) The raid modes you are going to test. Can be multiple options too.
More details and instructions will be sent through email to the representative of the guilds.
Once the Icecrown Citadel raid is fully tested, we will open a new Beta session to test out additional content that will also be released during this patch, that will include:
- The Forge of Souls, the Pit of Saron and the Halls of Reflection in normal and heroic modes, with their related quests.
- The Return of Quel'Delar and Shadowmourne quest chains.
- Toravon the Ice Watcher inside the Vault of Archavon.
We will announce if we will need another Beta session for this content after receiving the reports from the first one. If there is no need for another session, then we will announce the next Beta for the additional content and its process to participate in it, since we are aware many players are willing to participate on this Betas, but maybe they can't provide a raiding environment, we will offer the second Beta to the rest of the players that are willing to participate with party groups to test the dungeons or exceptional individuals to test the Quest lines.
Thank you very much.

Mount Murphy in Western Antarctica
Mount Murphy is an 8-million-year-old volcano in the Antarctic. Experts have found evidence of "large-scale fluctuations" in the area ice sheet throughout the planet's history due to "volcanic rocks, glaciogenic sediments and recycled marine microfossils" found at the site. It was named for noted Antarctic bird expert Robert Cushman Murphy of the American Museum of Natural History. Mount Murphy rises next to the Pine Island Glacier. NASA captured this landscape during a flight on Nov. 19, 2010.

Newest Review: ... a 'soft scoop' texture and it appeared to be very creamy. It looked like a high end creamy vanilla ice cream.
The taste Now appearance and fragrance are all very well but let's be honest it's the taste that has to be right isn't it? Well, I am pleased to say that it is gorgeous!
It is quite simply a delicious, creamy vanilla ice cream. It isn't too sweet and there is no nasty aftertaste that you occasionally get with the sweeteners used in 'diabetic' products.
I will start by saying that, although I am a diabetic, I rarely buy 'diabetic' products as I know from the research done by Diabetes UK that they are generally not worth the money.
It is usually better to eat the 'ordinary' equivalent but in moderation.
In fact if you eat some diabetic products such as chocolate the sweeteners used in them can have a quite severe laxative effect as I have discovered to my cost!.

Yesterday, while riding my bike, I saw two people dealing with fall leaves. The first was a middle aged man in Mountain View, blowing madly away at leaves in his driveway, blowing them out into the street with a noisy gasoline-driven blower. I suppose then the neighbors will blow them back the next day.
The second person was a middle aged woman in Palo Alto, which prohibits gas blowers; she was suctioning up the leaves with an electric shop vacuum, rolling along on casters, to put them in her recycling bin.

Emotionally Gripping book. This was my second book by this author and it was outstanding. She dealt with very real issues that women face in abusive relationships and brought to light the reality of how many feel trapped within in them. But then there is hope, and the hope that blossomed in this story evoked some tears from me.
Great story with real characters! I loved all three Wings of Glory books, but especially the first and third one (This one) I inhaled this book as quickly as I could and can't wait for the next one!!!

Project Info
Project Description
Two years ago I was going through a very difficult moment, so I decided it was the moment to make major changes in my life. And it was terrifying… The decision was all ready taken but I still needed to find out the way to make it possible.
So… one wonderful afternoon of july, I went to a music festival and received a promo postcard wich said: "when was the last time you did something for the first time?" And an idea started to grow in my mind.
Based on the postcard, I came up with a very simple plan: During the next year, each single week (52) I would try a thing I had ever done before. I thought if you want to get new results you have to try new things, and if you try new things you will change, and if you change your entire life changes… basically scientific method… right?
Many people said to me it was a "very-hard-new-year-resolution"… and many people thought I would quit a few weeks after, other many people just said "go and get it!".. And I´m very thankful to everyone… In a way, even those who didn´t believe it was possible, cheered me up to make it happen.
Right now I´m on the third edition of Método52, and (so far) I have done 104 amazing things I didn´t new I was able to do: skydiving, sailing, bungee, climbing, baking, kite surfing, teaching, cooking, sewing, reading, canyonig, rappel, street art… and list goes on and on…
BTW the key for success was never give up, and have a (looooooong) list of big dreams to reach.
And thats the story behind a transformation journey called: Método52, or how jumping out of my comfort zone took me to the most unexpected and passionate adventure ever. I have change, you can change, changing is possible. I´mPossible.

Hong Kong police use pepper spray in China oath-taking protest
Police in Hong Kong have used pepper spray to disperse thousands of protesters angry at China's plans that could stop two pro-independence legislators from taking their seats.
Beijing is now interpreting one of Hong Kong's laws to ban Sixtus Leung and Yau Wai-ching. A decision is due on Monday.
China is acting within its legal rights, but many in Hong Kong accuse Beijing of ruling by decree.
The top legislative panel in China said Beijing must intervene in the dispute.
It added that it should deter advocates of Hong Kong independence, as their actions were a threat to national security, state news agency Xinhua reported.
- A chaotic show that reveals deeper concerns
- Who are Hong Kong's new young lawmakers?
- Who are the new faces in politics?
Some demonstrators scuffled with police in front of the office of China's representative in the territory. Protesters used umbrellas to shield themselves from the spray, and some threw bottles at police.
Organisers said there were at least 10,000 protesters in the march. Police said there were 8,000 people at the peak of the demonstration.
Two men were arrested for obstructing police duties and refusing to show their identification cards, police added.
Fury on the streets, by Helier Cheung, BBC News, Hong Kong
There was a lot of anger directed at Beijing during the protests. Various demonstrators told me they felt Beijing was acting as a "big brother" or ruling by decree, and undermining the rule of law in Hong Kong.
The clashes that broke out after dark also fit a recent pattern. Protests organised by pro-democracy groups tend to be orderly and family friendly during the day, with police and demonstrators co-operating to some extent to allow traffic to pass through at certain times.
But more confrontational groups may stay on after the official march ends, staging sit ins or, as in this case, marching away from the route agreed with police and scuffling with officers.
It reflects a change in Hong Kong politics. In the past, many saw peaceful protest as the best way to bring about change. But in the last few years, some protesters have become more confrontational - arguing that playing by the rules has not achieved anything.
The issue started when the two lawmakers pledged allegiance to the "Hong Kong nation" and displayed a "Hong Kong is not China" banner during a swearing-in ceremony of the city's Legislative Council, the territory's parliament, last month.
Their oaths were not accepted, and a local Hong Kong court has been looking into the case.
However, China announced that its parliament would invoke its rarely used power to interpret Hong Kong's mini constitution, the Basic Law, to prevent them from taking office.
The case has been seen by many in Hong Kong as a risk to the freedoms granted to the former British colony when it was handed back to China in 1997, which included a high degree of autonomy, and judicial independence.

Dubai landlords have been told to buck up their building management, as rents in the emirate were tipped to plunge even further this year.
As real estate consultant Jones Lang LaSalle (JLLS) rolled out its forecast for the sector for 2011, its regional director of management consulting Jesse Downs, told 7DAYS that in a renter's market a "major issue for tenants is the quality".
"That is not just down to the build quality it is also determined by the management quality," she said. "A lot of the stock in Dubai is new and we have seen some examples of where poorly managed buildings have suffered greatly.
"The actual quality of asset management will be a critical point."
Craig Plumb, regional head of research, said the firm believes Dubai rents will continue to decline this year and that it "would expect [rents] to probably reach a bottom in 2012."
He said one of the legacies of the global financial crisis in the Dubai rental market was shoddy maintenance standards.
"There has been a lot of pressure to get service charges down but maybe that is not right thing to do because that will affect the quality of the [building] management," added Plumb.
Both experts said landlords will be forced to fork out for better services and possibly outsource the work to professional companies. The quality of Dubai's rental accommodation overtakes over-supply as the key threat to the rental earnings of landlord this year. The number of residential units that will enter the Dubai market this year is set to fall to 25,000 from a peak of 36,000 last year – with a similar trend in hotels and retail (see above chart).
Quality is just as important in the office sector. Downs said Standard Chartered bank recently elected to build its own office in Dubai, rather than take advantage of the current, ample supply.
"That is an excellent example of the importance of quality. You have a market that is oversupplied… and yet a large international bank is choosing to build its own building. That says that the quality and profile of property is not available out there."

The office of New York State Sen. Jeff Klein (D) says a "female, junior communications staffer" is to blame for a tweet that was posted on his account Tuesday evening and included a link to an odd Google image search.
In the tweet, which was deleted shortly after it was posted, there was a string of seemingly random characters followed by a link to a search for "susan del percio hot." Susan Del Percio is a GOP strategist who has worked as an adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and the 2013 mayoral campaign of Republican Joe Lhota.
Klein spokeswoman Candice Giove sent a statement to Business Insider blaming the tweet on an unnamed staffer.
"A female, junior communications staffer - who also happens to be a recent hire in our office - accidentally tweeted a link from her personal phone," Giove said. "As is the case with most elected officials, staff have access to and are responsible for social media updates for their principal. Mistakes like this happen and are taken seriously. We extend our apologies to Susan."
Business Insider has also reached out to Del Percio.
Klein, who represents parts of The Bronx in New York City and Westchester County, is a member of the state senate leadership as head of the Independent Democratic Conference. Though Klein is a Democrat, his five member IDC has caucused with the state senate Republicans.
View a screenshot of Klein's tweet below.

The Kontinental Hockey League kicked off it's 2009-2010 season on Thursday with a rematch of last spring's Gagarin Cup final between champions AK Bars Kazan and runners-up Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. AK Bars reprised their Cup victory in dramatic fashion when Alexei Morozov scored his second of the game with just nine seconds remaining in overtime to give his team a 3-2 victory in the lone game on the KHL schedule.
Former Pittsburgh Penguin prospect Janne Pesonen scored the other goal for Kazan, while Gennady Churilov and former Carolina Hurricane and New York Islander Josef Vasicek provided the goals for Yarsoslavl. Radek Bonk, most recently of the Nashville Predators, was in the penalty box for Morozov's overtime game-winner. Former Ranger prospect Jarkko Immonen made his KHL debut for the reigning champions, finishing scoreless and a +1 in just under 15 minutes of playing time.
Eight more teams will get their seasons underway on Friday. Of particular note to New York Rangers fans will be the season opener between Moscow rivals CSKA and Dynamo. Rangers 2009 seventh round draft pick Mikhail Pashnin is expected to make his KHL debut for CSKA, while the status fellow defenseman Pavel Valentenko, acquired as part of the trade that sent Scott Gomez to Montreal this summer, remains uncertain following an injury suffered two weeks ago. The game will be available live online starting at 11:30am EDT.
As I did last season with Avangard Omsk, I've set up pages containing the schedules for both CSKA and Dynamo and will update them with scores and links to online broadcasts and highlights (when available) for those who want to keep tabs on the Rangers' two KHL-based prospects. And for those who still wish to follow Jaromir Jagr and Avangard Omsk, I've once again posted the Avangard schedule and will update it with links and results throughout the season. (All three schedules can also be found in the "Links" section to the left.)
Avangard's season gets underway on Saturday when they face Barys Astana at 5:00am EDT. That game is scheduled to be shown live on the new and much improved KHL web site, which was re-launched today to coincide with the start of the new season. (Unfortunately, the — extremely limited — English-language content that existed previously appears to have been lost in the transition.)

Laurie, thanks for posting the Avangard Omsk schedule and link. I will be following Jagr, Ramo and Perrin and this really helps. You rock!
it seems to me that pashnin takes a LOT of penalties. I havent seen him in action, so what do you attribute this to? hopefully the coach will be able to help him make adjustments.
Thanks Laurie!
You're welcome!
Amos, it hasn't seemed to me that Pashnin's taken a excessive number of penalties. I know he had two in his first exhibition game, but keep in mind that was his first taste of the higher level of play he'll be facing in the KHL — he'd also started camp two weeks later than everyone else. He's also a physical defenseman who likes to hit people. In the two games I saw where he was whistled for penalties both were on what would have been considered clean hits in the NHL. In the KHL, it often seems that if a guy goes down after a hit, it's called, regardless of whether it was a good hit or not. Regardless, I don't think it's anything to worry about at this point.
thanks for clearing that up, as i'm only going by stats. thanks laurie!
Thanks for posting the Avangard schedule and links again. You are my only link to Jagr. It is most appreciated.

Hey everyone!
I received the Dear Elder emails today via computer rather than through the mail. I don't' have a lot of time cuz I just read y'all emails real quick. Dad I really appreciate the Cosby thing, I've actually been quoting just about everything I can remember along with all the other guys in my district who quote stuff too. There's a guy in my zone who loves the Cardinals and we've been having football (smack) talk a couple times. My district is pretty awesome along with people in my zone. My comp's name is Elder Benjamin Johnson from New Jersey. I'll have to send y'all some pictures sometime cuz we can print them off here. I can't remember if I told you but my Branch Pres is cool. I like him a lot and apparently he's also best buds with my mission pres in Salta. BTW I'm sending ya'll a letter that I want ya'll to give/send to Clark. idk his address so that'd be cool. I've been praying a lot and working hard. The MTC is sweet. We had our first TRC appointment and we had to contact in Spanish. We thought we were scheduled an hour later and when we walked into the room we had no idea what we were saying. The guy said he was from cali en espanol and I was like "uhhhh….es moi bonito?" It was pretty funny, but the contact was pretty rough to say the least but at least we got to teach in English and we did with a sincere heart with real intent. It's been hard for me and my comp to teach as one but we're getting better at it. We had our first comp inventory and that was kinda scary but I think it went well. Both my teachers are really cool, their names are Hermano Servinson and Hermano Young. Hermano Young looks like Edward Cullen, but shorter. I asked him about it and he said everyone says that and they convinced him to be him for Halloween. He served in Houston Spanish speaking. Hermano Servinson is cool too, he served in Guatemala. We went to the temple this morning and that was cool The Provo Temple is really pretty. I still see Tasha all the time, we figured out what each others class rooms are so I see her pretty much every day and pass notes and stuff and I sat next to her while we watched "Legacy" last night which was awesome. Sunday night is movie night. Last week we saw the Joseph Smith movie, it was really touching. I hope all you guys are doing well. Sounds like Anna and Josh are doing well in their respective sports? How's Megan doing btw? Y'all should write me letters! Keep up the good work and don't give up. One of the main things I've really tried to apply is that don't look at adversities as setbacks, but as an opportunity to learn and grow. My time is about up and I'm excited to hear from ya'll again!

I just finished reading Danah Boyd's 5th February 2007 blog entry. It reminded me of some thoughts I have had in my head for a while about the web, privacy and so on. I hope you enjoy reading. My old art teacher, told me about his experience in boarding school. There was no such thing as privacy at all, except when sitting on the toilet bowl. Spend longer than five minutes and someone was banging the door down. Danah argues that technology has resulted in a decrease in privacy. I will point to Howard Rheingold's book on Smart Mobs in which discusses the high density living environments that exist in Asia. Whole massive apartment blocks, where buying grocceries means phoning someone on another floor who delivers the goods to your door number. In stark contrast to the North American solution to everything. Where you fill your SUV with gas and drive five miles to buy a newspaper. Is it any wonder that the internet was born in such an environment? As Scott McNealy said in a recent interview, shipping electrons is cheaper than shipping atoms.
I had a discussion with a professor from university of Nebraska. I conjectured, that rules don't matter at all in university. I studied architecture in university. People spend a lot of time together and I witnessed a lot of strange behaviour from intelligent students. I evolved an attitude that normal rules don't apply to these young people. They can simply do what they feel like. Like in
During the discussion amongst the professors another made observation was made about modern human behaviour. That people slouch around nowadays, watching TV in their underwear. I countered by saying that people who expose a lot of flesh, do not invite people to enter their company. They use it as a tactic to regulate who comes in or out. If you are not intimate friends with someone, you will hardly sit with them and watch TV in your underwear. The traditionalists I was raised by, had conservative notions on dress. But their architecture and social pattern encouraged a much wider social circle. It was more condusive to discussion and interaction amongst many. From experience in past living arrangements in my college days, I noticed that when people wanted to annoy you they would wait until a quiet moment of the evening. Perhaps when you were listening to a favourite piece of music and relaxing with a book. Then they would engage in
The one thing I have realised, is one may as well contribute to your own online persona in whatever way possible. Become internal to your own online persona, rather than being external to it. Or outsourcing it altogether to be assembled by some online creature like a techno-bot. Whether people know this or not is irrelevant. They wear the web like this new
