As Yom Kippur begins Tuesday evening, Gil Kleiner plans to be in services at the Beth El Congregation without his iPhone, which will be sitting silently in his office at the synagogue registering an ESPN mobile app alert every time the Orioles score a run in their pursuit of the American League East pennant.
He wouldn't think of having the gadget with him during services on the most significant day of the Jewish calendar, but after, without turning on a television or computer, he says, "I can walk by it and take a peak, see what's going on."
So Kleiner, who is the Pikesville congregation's executive director, manages what was once a frequent tension for Jewish Orioles fans, with postseason or significant late-season games often falling during the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Fifteen Yom Kippurs have come and gone since 1997, when the Orioles last finished a season with a winning record and in first place in their division. Called simultaneously to the synagogue and the ballpark, television, computer or Droid, Jewish fans may once again find themselves torn.
This is, after all, the Day of Atonement, a day set aside for reflecting on the previous year's transgressions and committing oneself to more virtuous living next year, praying God's patience with our imperfect efforts.
The strictest observers abstain for 24 hours from working, eating, bathing, using perfume, wearing leather shoes and having sex. Even more liberal traditions encourage taking the day off from work, fasting and attending religious services — certainly not following baseball.
"We're supposed to focus on our own spiritual path," says Rabbi Daniel Burg, of Beth Am Synagogue in the city's Reservoir Hill neighborhood. That said, Burg, who moved to Baltimore from Chicago two years ago, is a lifetime Cubs fan, and well understands the excitement of a winning season after a long drought.
"The pennant race is no small matter," says Burg, who presides over a Conservative congregation. Asked what advice he would have for a member of his congregation who wants to attend services and follow Tuesday night's game, he gives a simple answer: "Three letters: DVR."
If congregants are going to check on the game during services, he says, he imagines they'll be discreet about it.
Baltimore congregants/Orioles fans have been known for discretion in these matters.
Rabbi Mark G. Loeb, who presided at Beth El before his death in 2009, liked to tell a story about conducting a High Holy Days service when the Orioles were in the playoffs, and sensing a particular buzz in the room. He noticed many of the men had white wires running out of their ears into their jackets, as they were listening to the game on transistor radios.
Loeb's successor at Beth El, a Conservative congregation, Rabbi Steven Schwartz, included that anecdote in his sermon a little over a week ago for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, adding that Loeb eventually started announcing game scores during services.
"It guaranteed a rapt audience," Schwartz told his congregation, according to a sermon text. "When he stepped to the mic, people didn't know if he was going to give a score update or say something about what was being read from the Torah."
Schwartz says in an interview that he announced the game score that Sunday, Sept. 16, as Rosh Hashanah was beginning and the Orioles were beating the Oakland Athletics, but he doesn't plan to do so for the Orioles-Toronto Blue Jays game Tuesday night. He knows that many of his congregants will leave the evening service, go home and switch on the game.
"It's not ideal, it's not what the holiday should be about," Schwartz says. "That's Jewish life today. My personal feeling is we should not pretend otherwise. Let's acknowledge what the reality is. We can still find meanings in the day."
One member of his congregation, Bruce Friedman, an avid Orioles fan, says he'll be in synagogue Tuesday night and won't be checking on the score. When he goes home, he won't turn the television on, but he says he lives in a house full of sports fans. It's possible either of his two teenage sons or his wife could switch on the game, although "they know how I feel about observing, they know how I feel about religion."
Even before there were iPhone ESPN apps, Jewish baseball fans found subtle ways to keep tabs on crucial games. Jeffrey S. Gurock, author of "Judaism's Encounter with American Sports," describes anecdotal accounts of Jewish Yankees fans in the Bronx in the 1950s stepping out of synagogue and down the street to check out the World Series on televisions displayed in the window of an appliance store.
To Gurock, a professor of American Jewish history at Yeshiva University in New York, the Yom Kippur-baseball dynamic captures an essential cultural tension in a diverse nation: how to honor one's traditions and "balance the desire to participate in this great celebration of American culture, watching a pennant race."
Rabbi Burg of Beth Am figures it could be worse.
"Thank God the Super Bowl doesn't come this time of year," he says.

"Fareed Zakaria GPS," Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN
By Fareed Zakaria
Last March, President Barack Obama spoke about how Syria's use of chemical weapons would be a "game-changer." It has, except not quite in the sense that he meant. It has been an event that has confused and confounded the Obama administration. Whatever your views on the larger issues, it's hard not to conclude that the administration's handling of Syria over the last year has been a case study in how not to do foreign policy.
The president started out with an understanding that the Syrian conflict is a messy sectarian struggle that cannot be influenced easily by American military intervention. He was disciplined in resisting calls to jump into a cauldron. But from the start he confused and undermined this policy with loose rhetoric, perhaps egged on by some of his advisors and critics to "do something."
So he announced just over two years ago that President Bashar al-Assad of Syria had to go. Now a pundit can engage in grandiose speech. The president of the United States should make declarations like this only if he has some strategy to actually achieve them. He did not.
More from CNN: Signs of sarin use, Kerry says
In truth, Obama – and many others – miscalculated. They believed that al-Assad's regime was near the end, misreading both its strength and brutality, but also the level of support it has from several segments of Syria.
Then, just about a year ago, came the off-the-cuff remarks about a red line on chemical weapons, insufficiently thought through but now publicly stated and definitive. Since then, American foreign policy in Syria has largely been concerned about ensuring that Obama's threat does not seem empty. It has been a complicated dance.
But what American national interest is being followed? The administration says it is upholding international law. Except, as Fred Kaplan pointed out in Slate this week, the institutions that embody international law and consensus – the United Nations and other international organizations – do not support this action. The United States plus France and Turkey cannot be considered the embodiment of international law and global public opinion.
More from GPS: Does public care about U.N. blessing?
The nature of the strike, we are told, will be short and symbolic – a shot across the bow. In the midst of a civil war in which both sides are in a high-stakes struggle for survival, does anyone think that this will make any difference?
And then, the strangest twist – an unplanned, last minute appeal to Congress, paving the way for further delay, weakening momentum, erasing what little surprise existed, and setting the stage for a potential defeat at home.
I don't think that this strike, should it eventually take place, will be as damaging as its critics fear. The al-Assad regime will likely hunker down, take it, and move on. It will make little difference one way or the other. But the manner in which the Obama administration has first created and then mismanaged this crisis will, alas, cast a long shadow on America's role in the world.
The American Government must have a secret agenda. After the fiascoes in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan they still want to interfere and bomb people? They used the chemical Agent Orange indiscriminately in Vietnam! They've ignored other despotic regimes in Black Africa, Myanmar and Korea. Any common citizen would wonder at the I.Q.levels of the Representatives of the U.S. Government.
Look at all the news. It seems to fit together like some sort of puzzle. We are very against Iran building a supposed nuclear weapon. We helped liberate Libya and there is so much talk about Egypt's president being replaced. Meanwhile we want the Palestinians to be recognized. The Syrians are all fleeing to other countries. Maybe they will try to create some another new country like was done in Kosovo? Whatever the agenda is it seems clear that we are trying to balance the flow of oil from this part of the world in favor of the U.S. I find it really strange that Saudi Arabia, Israel and Jordan aren't already involved if things are really so bad. The news stations are trying to sway our opinions. Why don't they show us all the angles? I for one, feel like I don't get to see the big picture. Why is it with all of this technology the truth doesn't present itself readily?
whatever happens in Syria I got dibs on Assad's wife!
why women are always easy targets?
So to express Fareed's argument in one sentence - Obama and his team mishandled Syria because they miscalculated strength Assad regime vs. strength of rebels one year ago, and by doing so they missed the window of opportunity to enter the war in Syria a year earlier.
We do not need more politics to determine our position with regard to Syria. The USA should have a human rights policy that defines what we can do, and how we may respond to ongoing mass civilian deaths anywhere in the world. Every US president has had to face these issues, yet we bungle them every time. We know that we cannot rely on the United Nations to accomplish anything. We know Russia is going to oppose the West and help the "bad guys." We know that not all nations will commit to resolving the situation. But do we really have an excuse for our congress that cannot come to reasonable discussions on any issue? Can we really explain why the White House cannot rely on congress to do it's job?
It appears that the Obama administration acted upon it's best intentions of seeing Syria through to reasonable end. How did the White House get boxed into a corner? Congress. Who is accountable in congress for outcomes? Who takes the responsibility for results from either house of congress? If congress cannot do it's work, who is accountable? Until we have a functioning representative body in each house of congress, the US will continue to flounder and fail. Nobody is accountable?
In response to another commenter, I agree with Fareed Zakaria. Any US strike will likely be symbolic and the Assad administration will remain in power after the strike. I do not favor a strike. A strike might be worth considering if it would prevent civilian deaths, cause a beneficial regime change, or bring this ongoing civil war to a quick end. Under all considered options, any strike by the USA is unlikely to accomplish these objectives. Therefore, an ineffective US strike will be viewed by most all the world as a weak, ineffective act of war by the USA against Syria. That should not be our intent or end result.
In considering all information available today, I do not see a compelling reason for the United States to launch any type of military strike in Syria. We need a purpose, objectives, a strategy, and safeguards that our relentless war-mongers cannot overstep to escalate the conflict. Everything to date suggests that we should stand down.
Its over Obama will back down. The American people have had enough of Muslim Civil Wars.
We have been lied to about every war since Korea and we are just not falling for it again.
Washington will have to come up with a new strategy to get us into the next war and I have no doubt it will be a good one.
The photo looks like a bunch of indecisive, scared, hand wringers trying to look concerned and responsible, but really they're just covering their posteriors and doing nothing and have no viable well thought out strategy or policy. We need some smart leadership, folks. Not more community organizing, posturing, speeches and impotent spin.
What American politicians cannot seem to learn is that there are not American solutions for problems throughout the world. They continue to see the rest of the world through their own culture and experiences, when the rest of the world sees things differently. This is a basic lesson adults should learn when they are young, yet our elected officials cannot seem to fathom that the rest of the world is different. The overall Syrian problem is largely an Islamic problem, caused by generations of animosity and hatred that an American politician cannot hope to understand. If the Islamic world is not willing to shed its blood and spend its treasure to deter horrible behavior, why should America?
So what's the REAL story here?
Could this be it?
Many American Jews are alarmed at what israel does, and how these groups arrogantly create the impression that they speak for "the Jews."
The question is - do they want this war, if it happens - to be labeled a "Jewish" war?
Please tell me why the world political leaders and "America's powers to be" seem so rushed to war. What happened in Syria is a war crime and should be handled as such by the powers that have the authority to do so. Why wouldn't American powers encourage this 1st and foremost? It seems to me if we could hold these evil powers accountable to the World it would be far more effective than trying to hold them accountable to the US and their handful of Allies.
There's no sense in wasting our time trying to inject reason into the religiously delusional, Islamic Middle-East countries. They will never set aside their religious beliefs for the rule of law. Dictatorships are "friendlier" to the U.S. interests than the Islamic Brotherhood/Al-Qaida parties that gain control post Arab-Spring revolts. Egypt is a perfect example of that. Now they want a "Do-Over" because democracy ended up giving an outcome half the people didn't want.
The missile diplomacy the U.S. employs only adds thousands of Jihadists to the ever-growing group wanting revenge.
The situation in Syria is not a clear and present danger to this country. If you're worried about "credibility"...DON'T...The world will never forget we're a bloodthirsty country if we sit this one out.
I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin, but I had to laugh when she said" They've been fighting for centuries...Let Allah sort them out".
The president has talked too much about his red lines about Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people and that he should be replaced by whom???The rebels are not united against Assad-and there are very bad rebels that we do not want to take over if and when a new Syrian government is formed-but the real issue is that you can not appease a dictator who uses chemical weapons against his own people because if the United States doesnot act against Assad he will only continue to use chemical weapons against his people.

Whether you like it or not, Wendy's and the adjacent Tim Hortons location are you best options for lunch on
King Edward Street. Taken while employed at Farm Business Communications.
King Edward Street. Taken while employed at Farm Business Communications.
- Mr. Uncertain: So, I'm un(der)employed again. I was at Farm Business Communications for most of the month, subbing for a gentleman on paternity leave, and he was set to return yesterday, making Friday my last day. I'm definitely thankful for my brief stay there, as it was educational, kept me financially stable, and I got to work with my old friends Steve and Jenelle.
I'm kinda where I was last year. Not sure where I'm gonna go, or what I'm gonna do. I've been given the tools to move forward, but I'm feeling rather grounded. Trying to stay positive (and failing at it).
- Pinky's Laundromat: I've gone off at length about how magnificent John Smith's second solo album is, and now, you can check it out for your own damn self via Bandcamp. Please do enjoy.
- Container of Great: My pal Albertine dropped her video game art and culture 'zine – Heart Container – last week, and it's a great read. It made me think about my relationship with gaming, which seems both deep and distant at the same time. I'm beginning to think I should write my thoughts down regarding this. It also made me nostalgic, and I'm think I should cop one of these as soon as things are better.
You really oughta pick up a copy, not only because it's good, but because the proceeds go to Child's Play.
- A Possibly Unpopular Opinion: I'm listening to this Erick Sermon mixtape, and it reeks of you-kids-get-off-my-lawn syndrome. I've got nothing but love for E-Double, but when you start dissing skinny jeans and the use of "swag", I stop listening.
- New Flickr Layout: The way you and I view Flickr is about to change, and I have to admit that I'm kinda stoked. I've been using it for almost seven years, and it's still a daily digital hangout spot after all this time. Unlike a lot of people that piss and moan about changes to their virtual clubhouses, I welcome it. I roll around in it like a pig in filth. Okay, not really, but I do roll with the punches. It's the Internet, people. You don't like one spot, go to another.
- Two Years on Tumblr: Yeah, I can't believe it either. Here's how I marked the occasion.
- These Dreams, man. A recent episode of Sound Opinions got me thinking about songs associated with first love. This definitely wasn't my first crush, but it's probably the first time I can put music and affection for someone together: late spring, 1985, at some roller rink – probably Wheelies. It was a Winnipeg school patrol outing. I was horrible at skating, and I remember taking a tumble on the carpet surrounding the rink that would've killed or paralyzed the 37-year-old me. As I held my head in agony like a kicker that missed a field goal, I saw HER. Giggling at me. Not in a mean way, but giggling. The HER in question was this petite blond from Wolseley School that caught my eye earlier in the day.
I was all about making girls laugh, so I did my best to laugh along, even though the pain was kicking my ass. What was playing during this moment? "These Dreams", by Heart. I'm not gonna lie to you; I still feel a lilt in my stomach when I hear that song coming from a nearby radio, or in a supermarket.
Hey...can we talk about the video for a second? All I really want to point out is that drummer Benny Carmassi utilized his fleeting moments of screen time to the fullest by being as hammy as possible. I love it! He shines at the 1:45 mark, also at 2:14 and 2:30. Classic.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas -- For many years, various organizations and reports have sounded the alarm when it comes to the United States and its educational standing among other nations in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math, known as STEM.
As each year passes, it seems American students fall lower and lower on the scale. Current data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has the U.S. listed 25th among nations in the area of math and 31st in the area of science. This concerns the Air Force, and U.S. government as a whole, so much that various organizations have been set up to help increase the nation's education level in STEM. These include the National Science Board, the Air Force STEM Outreach Coordination Office and the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. According to the Air Force STEM office website, every job of the future will require a basic understanding of math and science. It also notes that innovations transform nations, creating new industries and occupations, and that advances in technology will have a meaningful impact on the lives of every American.
Because of the nature of its work, the Air Force Civil Engineer Center here has a large number of Airmen -- military, civilian and contractor -- with advanced education in the STEM disciplines. "We as a workforce of engineers, scientists and other professionals can't idly sit by and expect that our nation will produce enough STEM professionals to take over for us; we can't be complacent," said Joe Sciabica, the AFCEC director. "We need to mentor and encourage the next generation, where we can."
The AFCEC director is just one of many who see the importance of mentoring tomorrow's science and engineering experts by doing what they can to increase the curiosity and enthusiasm of today's youth. "In my readings, engineering graduates are a dying breed particularly in the United States," said Dennis Guadarrama, the AFCEC Installations Center of Excellence Real Property Management Division chief. "This concerns me and should concern all of us." Guadarrama, who has a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering and Master of Arts in both public administration and management, shows his concern in many ways but one that's most visible is mentoring through career days, science fairs and tutoring high school students at home. "I am honored to provide my services to those seeking assistance," he said. "A student's ah-ha moment is priceless ... that's what it's all about." Second Lt. William Page, an operations support officer in AFCEC's Operations Directorate, is another STEM professional who volunteers where he can to encourage young people to pursue STEM education. After having an interest in robots and science since childhood, Page, whose father was an electrical engineer, majored in civil engineering at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The young officer said he feels it's important to mentor youth and encourage them to pursue STEM disciplines. They are the future, Page said. By mentoring them at a young age we can bring their exuberance, talent and innovation to its utmost potential to solve the problems of tomorrow." Page has volunteered with the Boy Scouts to help them earn their engineering merit badge and currently volunteers as a referee for First Lego League Robotics Competitions in Florida. "I do it to help the kids gain an appreciation for STEM," he said, "and give them pointers on what to think about to solve a similar problem next time. I just hope to help the kids develop a greater interest in STEM, as well as to improve their critical thinking skills while having fun." Nemesio Garcia, a mechanical engineer and program manager in AFCEC's Facility Engineering Center of Excellence, was the first in his family to graduate from high school and the first to attend and graduate from college.
In his Hispanic culture, Garcia said education is mostly seen as an unachievable goal with the emphasis on finding a job at an early age to start to gain seniority in a company. In addition to overcoming this cultural expectation, to achieve his dream he said he also overcame the hurdles of starting school at a later age and having to leave early, low teacher and counselor expectations, and a feeling of hopelessness. Throughout his professional career, Garcia said he saw, and continues to see, many of the problems he encountered as a young man.
"The problems are still there," he said, "only the faces have changed. That's one of the reasons I decided that it's important for me to have a positive impact the best I can." Garcia's dedication to mentoring began about 30 years ago when he was teaching middle school students. He'd ask them what they wanted to be in the future, help them identify goals and over one week help the students map out a way to achieve them. "That class has produced medical doctors, teachers, engineers, lawyers, city council members and mayors," he said. "I've kept in touch with them and they've told me how that one week was a significant event in their lives that still guides them now." Today, Garcia encourages students at every available opportunity as guest speaker at events, and at his church and martial arts classes. "I've counseled on trials and tribulations of life as I've experienced them, how to visualize goals to better outline your life and processes that can be used to attain goals and have a positive impact on your community," he said. All of these AFCEC members said they highly recommend everyone consider supporting STEM and school activities in their communities. "If we can show even one student that with passion and focus one can reach any goal, and in this case STEM disciplines, perhaps we can build some momentum," Guadarrama said. "As STEM professionals, we have a moral, ethical and God given responsibility to reach out to our community and bring out the best aspects of each and every individual," Garcia added. "It's up to us to plant a seed that will cause just one person to start thinking." NOTE: National Engineers Week is Feb. 17-23.

Billy Joel hasn't released a new pop album in nearly 20 years, but his strong performance at the 12/12/12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert reinforced his too-often overlooked status as a top live act with a generous spirit to match his talent.
Now a viral video in which Joel gives a nervy college kid a once-in-a-lifetime chance to back him on "New York State of Mind" offers another potent reminder of what fans have long known: the Piano Man is big shot with a big heart.
Perhaps more significantly, the inspiring clip, with nearly 1 million hits, has made it cool again to like Billy Joel.
We're coming up on the 40th anniversary of "Piano Man," the album and song that lifted Joel to prominence. Over the next two decades, he established himself as one of music's best crafters of pop tunes and as an at-times electrifying concert performer. Still, he's long – and unfairly – suffered in comparison to the likes of, say, Bruce Springsteen, another Northeastern son of the suburbs who emerged as a superstar during 1970s and 1980s.
Springsteen imbues his songs with an emotional heft generally not found in Joel's mostly – if not exclusively – lighter, decidedly more hummable numbers. And unlike his New Jersey counterpart, the Long Island-based Joel hasn't been a creative force over the last two decades – most college students weren't born when his last album of new pop songs, "River of Dreams," was released in 1993.
Joel went a long way toward closing that generation gap with the video, which was taped during a January talk at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and uploaded to YouTube late last month. During a question-and-answer session, Vanderbilt freshman Michael Pollack asked Joel if he could come up and play "New York State of Mind." Joel, momentarily taken aback, gave the young man a shot. Pollack played the song note perfect as Joel sung alone at the microphone, Sinatra style.
"The guy's got chops," an impressed Joel declared.
After the impromptu gig, Pollack told Inside Vandy, the school's student news outlet:
"I went through a phase for about three years where everything I played was Billy Joel. It was all I talked about. So this is kind of a big moment."
It also proved a big, built-for-the-Internet moment for longtime fans, and likely gained the 63-year-old performer some new, younger admirers who might be moved to check out "52nd Street," "Glass Houses" and other key Joel albums. And it marked a big moment for the intergenerational allure of timeless popular music, courtesy of a great performer secure enough in his stardom to let someone else play piano man for a few minutes.
Check out the video below, in which Billy Joel happily shares the stage with a stranger:

Alex Rodriguez said many years ago that he wanted to become the face of baseball.
Sadly, he's achieved his goal.
He's become the game's face, all right, for all the wrong reasons.
Like many, I wish Rodriguez would just fade away. Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen because we're dealing with a megalomaniac whose lack of awareness is almost as alarming as his lack of integrity.
On Monday, in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, there was, to quote obnoxious Yankees announcer John Sterling, another "A-Bomb by A-Rod." Portraying him as the victim of a witch hunt, Rodriguez's team of lawyers sued Major League Baseball and the players association in a feeble attempt to persuade a federal judge to overturn his 162-game suspension for violating the game's drug policy.
The lawsuit claims that arbitrator Fredric Horowitz showed partiality and "a manifest disregard for the law" and that the players union violated its duty of fair representation to Rodriguez. In reality, Horowitz showed a reasoned regard for the law, based on a mountain of damning evidence and testimony. He also showed a "manifest disregard" for the lame case presented by Rodriguez and his legal eagles. A-Fraud has declared his innocence to various media outlets but has yet to issue a single denial of his performance-enhancing drug use under oath. If you've done nothing wrong and are vigorously trying to clear your name, why wouldn't you proclaim your innocence under oath?
This legless lawsuit appears to be the last-gasp effort of a desperate, delusional man who needs only to look in a mirror to find the person at fault in all of this. That's unlikely to happen, of course, because this is a guy who once posed for a major magazine kissing a mirror because he's so into himself. Given his weak grasp of reality, I'm wondering if perhaps all those PEDs Rodriguez reportedly used shrank his brain while simultaneously inflating his muscles.
Some columnists and commentators lamented that it was a sad day for baseball when Horowitz rendered his decision on Jan. 11. I beg to differ. The ruling banishing Rodriguez for the entire 2014 season and postseason was good news for the drug-riddled sport. This was a powerful decision that hopefully will have a chilling effect on those tempted to emulate A-Fraud.
There's an old street saying where I grew up: "Money talks, BS walks." Well, the money, in this case, spoke more loudly than a fleet of B-52s revving their engines. According to Sports Illustrated, Rodriguez will be docked about $22 million. That isn't some slap on the wrist, even for a guy whose baseball career has earned him close to a half-billion dollars.
Federal judges are loath to overturn arbitrators' rulings in cases like these. Both management and the players union agreed on Horowitz to make decisions in these matters. Though union reps were upset that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig appeared on CBS' "60 Minutes" just two days after the ruling, they accepted Horowitz's decision wholeheartedly and now find themselves in the awkward position of having to defend the association against one of its own.
It appears that Rodriguez, who still will be owed $61 million by the Yankees, is about to strike out again. It also appears he has played the final game of his drug-enhanced career. The Bronx Bombers want nothing more to do with him. Neither do his previous employers in Seattle and Texas. And it's doubtful any other team would employ a broken-down, 39-year-old third baseman with new hips and a stadium full of baggage unless, of course, they were in desperate need of a freak show.
The statistics Rodriguez posted, which include 654 home runs and 1,969 runs batted in, place him among the game's all-time greats. But the numbers now ring as hollow as a whiffle ball bat. Given A-Fraud's history of showing great economy with the truth, it's hard to determine just how much of his career was enhanced and how much of it was real. For all we know, he could have been juicing since he came up as an 18-year-old in 1994.
I'm not naive enough to believe this decision will put an end to drug use once and for all. Cheating remains a huge problem in baseball and in all sports. Since the times of ancient Greece when some Olympians experimented with opiates in hopes of running faster and jumping higher, athletes have sought an edge. That's not going to stop as a result of this ruling. Anthony Bosch, the Biogenesis founder who supplied A-Rod and ultimately turned on him to save his own carcass, is hardly the only mad scientist out there. As long as there are millions to be made, guys and girls will continue seeking that edge.
I still blame Selig and former union boss Donald Fehr for their head-in-the-sand reaction to the steroid explosion that can be traced to the early 1990s, when baseball began selling its soul to enhance home runs, ticket sales and television ratings. But thanks to the commissioner and the union, baseball has gone from doing nothing to doing more than any other sports organization regarding PEDs.
Rodriguez will still pocket enough money to buy several more mansions. But there isn't enough money in the world to remove the stain from his reputation. He realized his dream of becoming the face of baseball, but sometimes dreams become nightmares. Sometimes the face staring back from the mirror isn't as handsome as we had hoped it would be.

Pretty Sure I Could Do That
Now, as a beer-guzzling, couch-potato blogger, I don't even joke about playing the NFL (I could get hurt really bad!) but do still enjoy the comical image of me ceding the last toilet stall in the locker room to a demanding nose tackle even though I may have to go much much worse. I just know I couldn't make it – the league is too gifted and talented. These guys might as well be another planet as far as I'm concerned.
Then Mason Crosby came along and gave me hope.
I generally do not like ripping on players, but ol' Colorado Thunder Thighs has been sucking more than a litter of kittens off a twenty-teat Tabby cat lately. I don't care what McCarthy says, he is *this* close to bagging groceries at Piggly Wiggly. And if that happens, who's going to take his place? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? Well, what about me, Robert Greenfield.
I'm completely serious.
I played competitive soccer for years (anyone who says soccer is for wussies never played beyond 5th grade) and was the go-to guy for penalty kicks. That means that A) I know how to kick and 2) I am clutch. Sure, it may take a few days to get my leg back into shape, but I can guarantee right now that I would be cash-money from inside 35 yards. Give me a little practice and one of those kicking tees, and in a couple of weeks I believe I could start booting them – with consistency – from 45+. Now that's not the best in the league but it's better than you got right now and you've got nowhere else to turn.
You don't believe me, Packers scouting guy reading this post!? Try me. I will come to Lambeau this week at my own expense (I live near the Walmart). I would only ask you give me a day's notice so I could get another driver to take my shift. As a bonus, I will bring you some delicious homemade curds and schnitzel for letting my tryout (again, a day's notice to prepare these items is appreciated).
In all honesty, when I was just a little guy, my all-time favorite wish – the only I always replayed in my head – was me winning the Super Bowl for the Packers. I know you want to win the Super Bowl too. Let's help each other. So, ah… we feeling pretty good about this dealio?

Can Uncle Rico play cornerback?ReplyDelete
- PashawwDecember 22, 2009 at 9:51 AM
Maybe you can kick Greenfield, but you gotta be fast to play special teams.ReplyDelete
Mason Crosby (Eddie Munster) may not look it, but he has blazing speed. Don't ask my why its an essential element of kicking fieldgoals. It just is.
So the question you gotta ask yourself is; are you fast. Well, are ya, punk?
Sure anybody can kick a 35yarder, I did that last week. The issue is getting the ball 40-50 ft in the air over the line. I'm guessing you didn't ever need to get the ball over 15 ft in soccer. Trust me dont quit the delivery job. Mason is the 3rd most accurate kicker in packer history. Behind Jon and Ryan.ReplyDelete
Sorry Jan not JonReplyDelete
Are you suggesting that defensive backs can jump 39-49 ft high?ReplyDelete
For that matter I will send you the drippy half of my grandma's rum cake if you can show me a d-back that can jump even 14ft high.
Robert I think your sissy soccer kicks are more than adequate.

An amusing column on the death of the English language.
The English language, which arose from humble Anglo-Saxon roots to become the lingua franca of 600 million people worldwide and the dominant lexicon of international discourse, is dead. It succumbed last month at the age of 1,617 after a long illness. It is survived by an ignominiously diminished form of itself.
And why did it succumb?
The end came quietly on Aug. 21 on the letters page of The Washington Post. A reader castigated the newspaper for having written that Sasha Obama was the "youngest" daughter of the president and first lady, rather than their "younger" daughter. In so doing, however, the letter writer called the first couple the "Obama's." This, too, was published, constituting an illiterate proofreading of an illiterate criticism of an illiteracy. Moments later, already severely weakened, English died of shame.
The author, Gene Weingarten, gives some other examples found in the print media.
The Lewiston (Maine) Sun-Journal has written of "spading and neutering." The Miami Herald reported on someone who "eeks out a living" — alas, not by running an amusement-park haunted house. The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star described professional football as a "doggy dog world." The Vallejo (Calif.) Times-Herald and the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune were the two most recent papers, out of dozens, to report on the treatment of "prostrate cancer."
The examples given by Weingarten were written by (I presume) professionals who are being paid for their copy, but he would be even further convinced of the demise of the English language if he were to read the comments posted on internet sites by members of the typing public.
Along with the fact that too much of the unsolicited commentary on these sites is rude, intemperate and sometimes downright vicious, much of it borders on being illiterate.
Some examples taken at random from various sites:
"what a joke cant she be concidered a habitial and put away before she ends up dead trying to fly off of a balcony."
"Yeah cause are system is a daggon joke!"
"Who the f…. is that heffer??"
Some of the mess that you see posted is certainly due to bad typing and obviously a refusal to spell check. But after a while you get to believe that a lot of it is simply a complete inability to spell and worse yet, no awareness that the spelling might be wrong.
The idea seems to be that it you can sound it out phonetically, you can spell it the same way. Although that doesn't really excuse having your dog "spaded" (which probably is an example of animal cruelty) or going to your doctor for a "prostrate" exam.

Colin Firth makes bittersweet decision to 'consciously uncouple' from film
Colin Firth has pulled out of a Hollywood role voicing the character of Paddington Bear just months before the movie is set to hit the big screen.
The King's Speech actor was due to voice the famous Peruvian bear in the film Paddington, also featuring Nicole Kidman and Peter Capaldi, but he and the director announced that they both agreed that his voice did not fit.
The Oscar-winning star, 53, used a term introduced by actress Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin when they recently announced their separation, to reveal that he and the movie had parted ways.
"It's been bittersweet to see this delightful creature take shape and come to the sad realisation that he simply doesn't have my voice," he said in a statement to Empire.
"After a period of denial, we've chosen conscious uncoupling."
"I've had the joy of seeing most of the film and it's going to be quite wonderful. I still feel rather protective of this bear and I'm pestering them all with suggestions for finding a voice worthy of him."
The film's director Paul King said the split was amicable and he had not yet selected a replacement for the Love Actually actor.
"Colin Firth has been a joy to collaborate with and I cannot thank him enough for his contribution to Paddington. We love the voice and we love the bear - but as our young bear came into being, we agreed that the two didn't seem to fit," he said.
"So, with somewhat heavy hearts, we decided to part ways. We are excited about the next chapter for Paddington, ensuring his big-screen debut is magnificent."
A trailer for the film, which also features Sally Hawkins and Hugh Bonneville and is due to open in the US for Christmas, has already been released.
The duffel coat-wearing, marmalade-loving character, who starts a new life in London, was created by Michael Bond for a series of books,
The film, due out in the UK in just five months on November 28, sees the bear despatched from his native jungle by his aunt Lucy, smuggled aboard a boat to England and named after the London station where he is found.
His misadventures with his adopted Brown family see him trying to evade a sinister taxidermist (Kidman) who has her eye on him.

SUBJECT: The Ring of Current
DESCRIPTION: This simulation illustrates the magnetic field generated by a ring of current, and shows how, by the principle of superposition, a continuous current distribution can be thought of as the sum of many discrete current elements (in this case, thirty). Each element generates its own field, described by the Biot-Savart Law (and represented here by the small vectors attached to the observation point), which, when added to the contribution from all the other elements, results in the total field of the ring (given by the large resultant vector, and by the large two dimensional field map). By moving the observation point around with the arrow keys, changes in field magnitude and direction can be observed at different positions relative to the ring.
Note that along the axis of the ring, the perpendicular component of each element's field is cancelled out by the corresponding element directly opposite it on the other side of the ring. The resultant field is thus described only by the contributions along that axis.

Apotheosis officially started raiding last week. We finished the week with 4/6 bosses killed in Mogu-Shan vaults so I thought it would be a good time to take a look at how resto Druids (or more specifically, this resto Druid) are doing in raids.
After the ease of healing all the heroic dungeons, the normal mode raids were a step up in difficulty. Mana was definitely a concern at times. When I fought my first raid boss, when Mogu'Shan Vaults opened I had about 4500 spirit. This was not enough. I'm now sitting around 6000 spirit, which feels much better.
The Stone Guard
Stone Guard on Tuesday was probably my best performance of the week, healing meter-wise.
I assigned myself to heal our Monk tank, who was tanking 1 add. Here's what my healing breakdown looked like:
49% of my healing went to my assigned tank, 14% went to another tank and the rest of the raid split the rest of my healing.
Lifebloom did some really strong healing, mostly because I was the only healer assigned to my tank, I think, so it had the chance to heal (rather than overheal) a lot. Rejuv also did a lot of healing as it was constantly rolling on my tank and was used to spot heal the raid. Regrowth was my main direct heal. Because I used Regrowth so much, and was focused on tank healing, Living Seed had a good showing (comparatively), doing 4.3% of my healing.
Overall, there's nothing too surprising here. The HoT portion of Swiftmend did very little healing as the raid is spread out for most of this fight. I also tended to use SM on my tank so he would benefit from it rather than try to place it so it would heal more people. Wild Mushrooms, as expected, are complete shit. I used them once on this fight and this week I will avoid them altogether. I used Healing Touch 7 times – 4 of those were in combination with Nature's Swiftness, while the rest were out of habit. This week I will work on not hard casting HT at all, as it is inferior to Regrowth.
Sadly, I had an Amethyst Pool spawn under me just as I started channelling my first Tranquility, so that got interrupted after only one pulse.
Here's what my buffs cast tab looks like:
As expected, it's really easy to keep Harmony up 100% of the time. Boo. I'm happy that for the most part, I was good about using my new abilities. The fight lasted 5:46 and I used Ironbark on my tank twice. I used Symbiosis on a Monk and I remembered to use Fortifying Brew twice as well. I could up my Nature's Swiftness uses a little bit. The one big omission I see here is a lack of tier 6 talent use. This tells me that I probably forgot to switch HotW (which I use in dungeons) for Nature's Vigil before this fight started. Oops.
Besides a few small things regarding spell use that I can improve on this week, I was happy with my healing on Stone Guard. I felt very strong as a tank healer, much better equipped to handle it than I was in Cata.
Feng the Accursed
Feng is the boss that gave my raid the most trouble. It's also the fight that hurt my mana pool the most. We ended up using 7 healers for this to compensate for all the damage going out in phase 3.
Those darn Monks. Our entire raid was stacked on top of each other for at least half of this fight, so Spinning Crane Kick and Chi Burst kinda destroyed everyone else in terms of healing. Still, I don't think I did too bad.
I was raid healing on this fight, so my healing breakdown is a little different, a lot less of my healing comes from direct heals. The Swiftmend HoT is performing much better on this fight since we're stacked up so often. I did use Mushrooms a couple times on this fight, but only because there are parts of phase 1 and 2 where there's nothing to heal, so I wasn't losing anything by setting them up. Still though, they hit for an average of 3500 (before overheal), that's not even a drop in the bucket.
The only reason Harmony isn't at 100% here is because I died near the end of the fight. Tree of Life and Nature's Vigil were really useful on this fight, as there are so many times when the raid damage is incredible. I made sure to use them once in phase 1 and then again to help handle phase 3. Nature's Vigil also did 750,000 damage to the boss, not a huge amount, but every bit helps. My NS and Fortifying Brew use could have been better and I didn't use Ironbark at all, which is awful. And goddamn it, I need to stop interrupting my Tranquility cast.
This was a tough fight. I had to make sure I was conserving as much mana as possible in phase 2 in order to be able to handle phase 3. Having two big output increasing cooldowns (and Tranq) for phase 3 is really useful.
Gara'jal was by far the easiest fight for me to heal. I was assigned to one of the groups that goes down into the spirit realm. The spirit realm was simple to deal with. The first time I went down I used Tranquility to heal everyone up. The 2nd time I just tossed out WG and a few Rejuvs then spammed Regrowth.. Tranq was back up for the 3rd. Because of the mana regen buff you get in the spirit realm, mana wasn't a concern and I could spam my little heart out.
Because of phasing, the overall healing meters are worthless on this fight, but here's how my healing breakdown looked.
Pretty standard for raid healing.
I felt really good on this fight. Tranquility was excellent for the spirit world. Ironbark (which I used 3 times on this) was very nice to put on a tank who had Voodoo Doll to prevent some incoming raid damage, and I thought that my HoTs dealt with Voodoo Doll on the raid quite nicely.
Spirit Kings
This was another fight that was relatively easy to heal, mostly because my raid did an amazing job at avoiding everything that could be avoided.
Those Monks… This is another fight where the raid is stacked up for 50% of the encounter. The combination of it being a single-tank fight, plus our raid avoiding all the damage meant there wasn't a whole lot to heal.
The fact that Tranquility is was my highest healing spell is absurd. That, along with the HUGE amount of overheal on Rejuv and Lifebloom tell me 6 healers is too many.
There's something a little odd about these numbers – pretty sure Living Seed didn't have 100% uptime. Spirit Kings is a long fight with a 10 minute enrage, so you can use your cooldowns at least 3 times each. Nature's Vigil did 850k damage to the boss. Hoever, now that I've seen how little healing is needed when things are done correctly, I'll probably try using Heart of the Wild next time to see if I can help even more with dps.
Overall, I thought druid healing was fun and effective my first week in Mogu'shan Vaults. My new cooldowns were fun to play with and interesting to find the best timing for. Though it was a little disconcerting to see myself anywhere but on top of the healing meters more often than not, I never felt like I wasn't equipped to handle the incoming damage. There are a few spots where I can improve my spell use and hopefully increase my healing.
Goal for this week: beat those Monks!

Did Drake Diss Rihanna on New Track?
Rihanna is having a hard time lately. First she gets sick enough to be hooked up to an IV, then her ex Chris Brown releases what many have speculated to be a diss track about her. As if that weren't enough, now hip-hop fans suspect that her former maybe-flame Drake may have followed Breezy's lead and talked smack about the 'Where Have You Been' singer in a new song with 2 Chainz.
The song, 'No Lie,' is garnering more attention for this new controversy than for its artistry or the fact that two of hip-hop's biggest names spit rhymes on it. Indeed, it seems strange that Drake would go after Rihanna, with whom he's collaborated and remained friendly with since whatever romantic link they had fizzled out. It's sort of like kicking her when she's down — that is, if it's true. The lyrics do appear to point in her direction because of the 'What's My Name' references he drops:
"She came through, she brought food / She got f—ed, she knew wassup / She think I'm the realest out / And I say 'Damn, that makes two of us' / Oh that look like what's her name / Chances are it is what's her name / Chances are, if she was acting up / Then I f—ed her once and never f—ed again / She could have a Grammy, I still treat that a– like a nominee / Just need to know what that p—- like so one time, it's fine with me."
RiRi is the only Grammy-nominated or winning artist that Drizzy has been rumored to have been involved with, so that points another dagger in her direction. What happened to the camaraderie they shared on 'Take Care?'
We're not sure whether Drizzy's verse is actually directed at the 'Battleship' starlet. Perhaps time — and Twitter — will tell.
Listen to 2 Chainz Feat. Drake, 'No Lie'

Liberty tied for second after first day of NCWA Tournament
March 13, 2014 | Allen, Texas
Through Thursday's first day of competition in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association Championships at the Allen Event Center in Allen, Texas, Liberty University's wrestling team is locked in a tie for second place with Shorter University — the team it lost to in the semifinals of the NCWA Champions Cup Duals — with 72.5 points. They trail only Grand Canyon University (82.5), which defeated Shorter in the national duals final. Fourth-place Central Florida (60), The Apprentice School (54.5), Florida Gulf Coast University (54), and Grand Valley State (Mich., 51.5) are still in contention.
In the 125-pound bracket, Liberty freshman Tim Nordan received a first-round bye before pinning his first opponent, Central Florida's Evan Dipsiner, in 1 minute, 46 seconds. He then scored a 10-3 decision over Florida's Jacob Wasserman to reach Friday's quarterfinals against Grand Canyon's A.J. Salazar.
Liberty 133-pound freshman Ryan Diehl received a first-round bye before taking just 2:16 to score a 15-0 technical fall over Grand Valley's Tyler Dempsey in his first match. He then pinned Penn State-DuBois' Austin Sheibley in 3:21 to advance to Friday's quarterfinals, where he will face Penn State-Mont Alto's Jimmy Hughes.
At 141 pounds, Liberty graduate student Colin Lewis received a first-round bye before scoring a 9-6 decision over Washington State University's Jerdon Helgeson and dropping a 7-4 decision to the University of Texas-Austin's Antonio Martinez to drop to the consolation bracket. Also, sophomore Josh Sanders pinned Florida A&M's Philip Menendez in 1:14 in his first-round bout before winning by injury default over Northwest Missouri's Travis Peter and losing a 2-0 decision to North Florida's Chad Baumann.
Flames sophomore Peter Tatanish received two byes and won by forfeit before earning his first decision, 7-3 over Air Force's Robert Walker. He will wrestle South Carolina's Nicholas Cegelski in the 149-pound quarterfinals.
At 157, Liberty junior Chase Boontjer scored a 13-1 major decision over Penn State-DuBois' Jake Hines before pinning Wichita State's Devin Webber in 3:26. He will face Grand Canyon's Bryant Wood in the quarterfinals.
Liberty freshman Josh Ferenczy had an exceptional first day at nationals, recording two technical falls, for three bonus points, at 165. First, he needed 5:22 to shut out New Hampshire's Paul Gesel 15-0. Then, he took 5:38 to dominate USC's Armand Farrokh 18-2, setting up a quarterfinal bout with Navy Prep's Sam O'Dell.
Junior Keyshaun Ward, meanwhile, scored two major decisions to advance to his quarterfinal match against Florida Gulf Coast University's Giovanni Jiovenetta. Ward dominated Stony Brook's Scott Dunkirk 17-5 before cruising past Georgia Southern's Najee Banks, 11-2.
At 197, Liberty senior Aaron Thompson, the 2012 NCWA champion and 2013 runner-up, received two byes as the No. 1 seed before needing just 1:46 to deck Navy Prep's Nick Mabry and advancing to the quarterfinals by injury default. He will face Saginaw Valley's Wayne Sanders on Friday.
Throughout the tournament, which concludes on Saturday, live results will be posted online and video footage will be available as well.

Add subdomain
You can host websites on subdomains using your hosting account by adding the subdomain to your hosting account. An example of a subdomain is subdomain.coolexample.com.
There are a few things to know about using a subdomain on your hosting account:
- To add a subdomain it has to be a subdomain of another domain name on your account.
- Subdomain's websites are stored in a different directory than the domain name it belongs to.
Add a subdomain
- In cPanel, in the Domains section, click Subdomains.
- Complete the following fields, and then click Create:
Field What to do... Subdomain Enter just the subdomain you want to use; do not enter the domain name itself. Domain Select the domain name you want to use. Document root This field automatically populates with a recommended directory, but you can enter a different directory if you want.
Next step
- If your domain name is not in the same GoDaddy account as your hosting, you need to find your account's IP address and then add a subdomain to your domain name that points to it.
- Upload the subdomain website files to the Document root you selected

"Oh, really? Well, I'm from Playskool."
Playskool is an American company that produces educational toys and games for children. It is a the arch-nemesis of Fisher-Price, and is headquartered in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This empire mass-produces clones of various shapes and sizes, most of them small enough to hide among the childhood toys in nurseries and toyboxes. The ultimate goal of this empire is to outnumber the Fisher-Price Empire and replace them altogether.
Types of units[edit]
Due to limits beyond Playskool's control, clones must be manufactured from rubber and/or plastic. While this limits the potential movement of the clone, several plastic army men are often more effective than one flesh-and-blood army man.
- Infantry - these are mostly Star Wars action figures and transformers. Even though the the main enemy, the Little People, have no weapons (or limbs, for that matter), their mere presence on the battlegrounds represents a victory in replacing a would-have-been Playskolar in a would-have-been Playskool territory.
- Cavalry - Aside from bantas, which are terrible cavalry units, Playskool generally does not produce cavalry. Wild horses, such as My Little Pony, can easily be mounted as a warhorse by an action figure or transformer. These units seem to be more effective at infiltrating pink- and purple-colored battlegrounds. Cavalry attacks are quite rare in other battle areas.
- Artillery - Recently, Playskool talked up a potential alliance with the Nerf empire, opening the opportunity for actual artillery-based combat.
- Trained animals - Aside from little ponies, Playskool has also tamed various dinosaurs believed to have been stolen from Jurassic Park. Although not Playskool-trained (Mattel practices dinosaur training as well), a Tyrannosaurus rex, can be seen in Toy Story attempting to scare a pullstring cowboy. Unfortunately, plastic dinosaurs do not scare cowboys very well, so Playskool is working on a solution to this problem and will be releasing the prototype in a few months.
- Vehicles - Playskool is widely known for its Tonka vehicles. These trucks serve not only Playskool's own units, but also allied troops. They are also effective for transporting Fisher-Price troops to an alternate location. The large size of some of these vehicles makes infiltration of lofts in Fisher-Price's mooing barn bunkers much more practical as well.
Playskool mass-produces millions of clones per day. Some of their clones were used in Star Wars Episode II: The Clone Wars. The clones used in this film are recognized as some of the largest and most realistic clones ever produced by Playskool. When asked why the empire chooses to produce small clones as their main units, the Emperor Oscar Wilde replied, "It is harder for us to infiltrate the battlegrounds with larger units." Following this comment, we decided to look into the actual deployment strategy.
Deployment of troops[edit]
Upon the completion of a cloning, each unit is packaged in various materials. Some are packaged in cardboard, others in cellophane or plastic, and others in Styrofoam. Often, a combination of these materials is used for extra camouflage. These packages are then deployed via large steel tanks to retailers around the world, mostly in America, where the troops wait in rather conspicuous places so that humans with children might notice them and bring them into the battleground. As pointed out in a song by Superchick, some of the units will stay inside their plastic prison waiting for the day they rot. Troops are not usually sent any sort of compensation for their service, and they receive no rations, either, so the rot date comes considerably sooner. If enough of any particular model rots before infiltration, that model is discontinued and replaced at a later date with a new model that is more colorful, bigger, louder, or sexier.
Not much is known about what goes on after infiltration. The experts here at Uncyclopedia are currently reviewing the documentary series Toy Story to try to learn more about this.
Playskool is currently discussing a potential alliance with Nerf, an artillery company. If this deal goes through, Nerf will provide a valuable array of weaponry that could play a crucial role in the ultimate goal of Playskool. The empire has not yet worked out an agreement with Mattel, super-hot Barbie spies, but escalating adverse relationships between Playskool's Darth Vader and Mattel's Ken may certainly complicate things.

copyright, Lyndon Wade.
The Room 107 series is pretty sick. There are 12 or so different scenarios that take place in the same motel room. Everything from porn shoots to kidney harvesting to gangster shakedowns (how about that super realistic blood splatter?). This image was created with 6 strobes and 4 room lights. Check out a hi-res version here.
And yes. Lyndon is David Lindsey's brother.
Camera: Canon D1s Mark II with a 50mm lens, positioned on a tripod 8 feet back. Shot at 1/125, f8, ISO 100.
Lighting: I'm guessing this was a set built in a studio with more room to tweak light than an actual hotel room. The puncher and punchee are lit with a small softbox at f8 boomed high out of frame and slightly behind the two. A small softbox at f8 is boomed high above the man sitting on the bed and aimed toward the camera left wall. A small softbox at f8 is positioned similarly to camera right. Another small softbox at f8 is boomed high and center near the back wall, aimed downward. A standard reflector at f16 (+2 stops) is bounced off the bathroom ceiling and casts the highlights on the rear, camera-right wall. For the perfectly creepy, blueish fill, Lyndon used a silver beauty dish at f2.8 (-3 stops) with full CTB gel. A separate plate was shot at 1 second to capture the glow of all 4 lamp lights and composited together during post.
Comments: To heighten the sense of reality, Lyndon hired a real gangster "debt collector" as an on-set consultant. He proved invaluable in pointing out subtleties such as where the blood splatter should land, the precise ratio of water to cement mix and that duct tape has 1001 uses, from gag to handcuffs to noose.
