Once a Cleveland Cavaliers fan upset over a decision the team made e-mailed owner Dan Gilbert to complain. After an escalating exchange, Gilbert challenged him to a wrestling match. After calming down, Gilbert later offered the guy a job. This is a typical Gilbert story because it shows his competitiveness, his short temper, his stream-of-consciousness e-mailing style and even his business acumen. Often those traits, ones that serve him well yet sometimes undermine him, all come out at once. All of that was there for the world to see late Thursday night with an extra, edgy layer, the product of being jilted by his superstar player and perhaps losing 0 million in franchise value at the same moment. Gilbert's scathing and fierce response to LeBron James nationally-televised departure came in a statement to Cavs fans that had all the makings of a Dear John letter -- and in comic sans typeface. The moment Gilbert blasted it out to media outlets and had it posted on the team website, he probably didn't regret writing any of it.

One of the episodes featured a large Solar Home somewhere in the US. I distinctly remember the owner having a basement full of train sets. He had this beautiful Kinetic Water Feature thst was attached to the garden wall. It rotates and small discs on it rotate as well. I think he said that he special ordered it from UK or something. Made from somekind of metal. Quite big too. 4-5 feet I think. Below it is an area of water. Quite possible that it acts as a pump. Can anyone tell me where did it come from and who manufactured it?
