Admirals buried under IceHogs' 47 shots
Milwaukee allowed a season-high 47 shots Friday, and it cost the Admirals in a 4-3 loss to Rockford at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
It also was the most shots this season for the IceHogs, who scored the winning goal just 33 seconds after Milwaukee tied the score late in the final period.
"We challenged the group after the first period that we were losing a lot of the puck battles," Milwaukee coach Dean Evason said. "Especially in the 'D' zone is where a lot of it occurred. Consequently, they were getting a ton of shots. So that's exactly what hurt us in the end.
"Besides the goal that goes in off of us, the other ones were all puck battles; commitment level to compete against another guy. We lost a lot of them, and consequently they got a lot of shots. That goal was a result of that as well."
Rockford, which also beat Milwaukee, 2-1, on Tuesday, has 75 points and is now tied with the Admirals and Chicago for the final playoff spot after winning for the seventh time in its last nine road games.
"We knew it was a very important game, because if they won, it was a four-point difference," said Rockford's Rostislav Olesz, who scored his team's final two goals.
Because of trades, call-ups and injuries, Milwaukee was playing without five of its top-seven scorers.
And rookie goalie Magnus Hellberg dropped to 0-5 against Rockford this season. He's allowed 14 goals in six games against the team.
"I didn't know the numbers," Evason said. "I don't know the ins and outs of the goaltending. He had a ton of work, a ton of quality work. He made some good saves for us as well."
But Hellberg couldn't stop Olesz's game-winner with 6:08 remaining.
The puck went from Brandon Pirri at the right wall to Brad Mills behind Milwaukee's net. Mills quickly dished it to Olesz between the right crease and the edge of the circle, where he shot and scored in front of Milwaukee's Joe Piskula.
"It was a good, set play," Olesz said. "Every team works on their cycles down low in practice."
Milwaukee's Scott Valentine, who moved from his usual defenseman position to play the left wing on Friday, tied the score at 3-3 with 6:41 to go. He slapped in a rebound shot just before he ended up sliding on his back in the left circle to break a 19-game streak without a goal.
"He was physical, he was skating, he was in on the forecheck," Evason said. "I probably should've played him a little bit more. I think he can probably eat up some more minutes because he's a big, strong guy. We liked what we've seen. Certainly, he'll go back there tomorrow."
Olesz's first goal was scored from the slot on a shot that went between the legs of Milwaukee's Joonas Jarvinen and past the right shoulder of Hellberg for a 3-2 lead with 11:27 left in the third.
"It was just open in the slot again," Olesz said. "I tried to shoot it blocker side and it ended up in the goal."
First period - 1, MIL, Puustinen (Watson, Reid), 4:14 (pp); 2, ROCK, St. Pierre (Hayes), 12:39; 3, ROCK, Stanton (Olesz), 16:42. Penalties - ROCK, St. Pierre (interference), 4:06.
Second period - 4, MIL, Bang (Puustinen, Watson), 17:06. Penalties - ROCK, Stanton (holding the stick), 3:34; MIL, Ekholm (boarding), 17:41.
Third period - 5, ROCK, Olesz (Clendening, Pirri), 8:33; 6, MIL, Valentine (Crowder, Shalla), 13:19; 7, ROCK, Olesz (Mills, Pirri), 13:52. Penalties - None.
|Karlsson, ROCK
|Hellberg, MIL
SUMMARY: Shots - ROCK 47; MIL 34. Penalties /minutes - ROCK 2 for 4; MIL 1 for 2. Power plays - ROCK 0 for 1; MIL 1 for 2.

on December 9, 2011 - 12:01 AM
"Disquiet," an exhibition of paintings by the Newark, N.J.-based painter Eduardo Cunha in the Villa Maria College art gallery, has been extended through next Friday. A good thing, too, because the extra time will give art lovers a chance in the brief lull between holidays to see some of the strangest and most compelling work on view in any Western New York gallery.
Cunha's large-scale paintings of childhood memories mixed with grown-up dreams, feature expressionless figures in rustic surroundings. The figures in each painting are melancholic and expectant, their proportions and broad features slightly exaggerated so as to make them look doll-like and not quite real.
Cunha, according to curator and artist Adam Weekley, pulls his paintings out of reality and "picks and chooses what he's going to be realistic about and what he's not."
The majority of the paintings depict scenes drawn from Cunha's memories of a childhood spent in Portugal, where he lived for the first few years of his life before relocating to the United States. They have a nostalgic quality, but not in a sentimental way -- more like nostalgia for solitude rather than for an all-consuming happiness.
But Cunha's work, as Weekley has said, also constructs little open-ended narratives that can be great fun for viewers to fill in.
In "Fantoches," for instance, three pairs of feet peek out from behind a hanging blanket or tablecloth under a rocky brick wall and stucco ceiling. All three surfaces -- floor, wall and ceiling -- are conflated onto a single plain with no attempt to create three dimensions, which has the effect of making the entire painting seem displaced, like a memory or a dream. Think of the scene in "Inception," in which Paris folds in on itself in an impossible physics. It's the same feeling here, with the added mystery of who the people behind the blanket are, why they're hiding, and who might be trying to find them.
The same sense of remembered strangeness appears in "Father and Son," perhaps the strongest and certainly the most emotionally loaded painting in the show. It depicts a boy, presumably the artist, sitting at a table next to his father and staring straight out of the canvas. A pen sits on the table near the boy, and we can see the blue lines he has scribbled on the paper tablecloth. The pair just sits there, seeming to wait for a response from the viewer so that they can go on with their business. It's a beautiful, haunting work that opens up all sorts of doors for the imagination.
Two of Cunha's newer canvases, interiors rendered in his curious, childlike conflation of perspectives, are devoid of figures and feel just as disconnected and melancholic as those that include them. The show also contains three plaster figures of a boy, which have the same kind of not-quite-earthly proportions of his painted figures.
For this series of paintings, as quizzical and mysterious as they are inviting and accessible, "Disquiet" is the perfect title. Cunha's work invites viewers into his own history and memory, a realm that, despite its strangeness or maybe because of it, is a fine place to spend an hour.

A potato pancake topped with lox and dill is the perfect way to tap into the Nordic food trend.
Pine needles. Moss. Funghi. These are three things you might happen upon while walking in the woods, or find on your plate at the hottest dining destination in the world this year, the restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. There, head chef René Redzepi coaxes traditional Nordic flavors out of the foraged and locally farmed ingredients that have made his menu so popular.
Noma opened in 2004, and has slowly but steadily ascended to the level of worldwide prominence once occupied but that other European gastrolab, Ferran Adria's now-shuttered elBulli. And as the Danish restaurant attracted more and more attention, so, too, did the cuisine of Scandinavia, characterized by its use of such ingredients as game meats, cured fish, wild berries and root vegetables. Scandinavian-inflected food is everywhere these days: at Aska in Williamsburg, Brooklyn; at The Bachelor Farmer in Minneapolis; at Pläj in San Francisco.
But there's got to be more behind this megatrend than just one man. After years of being ignored, why is Scandinavian food so hot right now? To find out, I called up Helene Henderson, author of the cookbook The Swedish Table. Henderson grew up in Sweden's subarctic north, where she cooked for her family, then at a small French bistro in town, before traveling to Los Angeles and to become a caterer to the stars. Today, Henderson lives in Malibu, California with her husband, the actor John Stockwell, where she runs a working farm that supplies the ingredients for her Malibu Pier Café and special farm dinners. Henderson said that one reason Nordic cuisine is taking off right now is that in some ways, it's an extension of older trends.
"I think part of what we're seeing here is a variation on the 'small plates' trend that has been around for so long that it was bound to die," Henderson said. "The Swedish roots are in the smorgasbord — multiple offerings of small bites, all at once," she explained.
"Personally, that's how I love to eat — I always feel hemmed in by a big plate of dinner."
Another factor Henderson identifies is a variation on the farm-to-table trend, which has also been popular for so long that it needed some kind of twist to keep it new.
"This cuisine is an expansion of taking it from the farm," she said, noting how the newer Scandinavian restaurants are making use of wild and foraged ingredients. "The next step is going out into the woods."
When asked to identify a few treasured Nordic ingredients, Henderson was quick to answer.
"Potatoes," she said. "In the north of Sweden, people are potato-obsessed."
Another common item? Gravlax, or salt-and-sugar-cured salmon.
"That's very popular," she said.
Sound familiar? It should, because gravlax is the same food as lox, the bright pink, tender slices of fish we Jews can't resist atop a bagel with a schmear. Both "gravlax" and "lox" trace their lineage to the German word "lachs," meaning salmon).
If there's anything that Scandinavian and Eastern European cuisines have in common, it's their prodigious use of pickled, brined and cured items, traditionally put away to help secure the food supply during the long, cold winters.
So with Scandinavia — and Ashkenazi Jews — in mind, I created this mutt of a dish that's perfect for Hanukkah: a large potato galette (that's fancy talk for "big latke") elevated by a dollop of crème fraîche, ribbons of lox and a sprinkling of fresh dill. Try it, and bring a taste of the Nordic table to your holiday feast this year.

Handmade Ceramics from Mud Studio in South Africa
Mud Australia, which is another ceramics company we like very much). They create handmade ceramics for the table, kitchen, garden, and home, including some spectacular chandeliers made of hand-rolled ceramic beads. In the United States, their pieces are primarily found at Anthropologie stores. The juicer pictured above is one distinctive design you might remember from recent Anthropologie collections! Right now, though, we can't find any of their pieces online; they tend to just be in the street stores' collections. I especially love my lasagna dish, which is heavy and sturdy, and decorated with an interesting motif. It can go in the oven, so it's a true deep-dish lasagna pan!

Salomon Islands
The Salomon Islands or Salomon Atoll[1] is a small atoll of the Chagos Archipelago, British Indian Ocean Territory.
It is located in the Northeast of the Chagos Archipelago, between Blenheim Reef and Peros Banhos. The main islands in the group are Île Boddam, with the former main settlement, and a land area of 1.08 km², and Île Anglaise (0.82 km²), both on the western rim of the reef. There were smaller settlements of Chagossians in Fouquet (0.45 km²) and Takamaka (0.48 km) Islands. Île de la Passe is 0.28 km² in area, and Île Mapou 0.04 km². The remaining islets are much smaller. The total land area is 3.56 km².
There is a passage into the lagoon, named Baie de Salomon, on the Northern side, between Île Anglaise and Île de la Passe. The Salomon Islands are one of the favorite anchoring spots for itinerant yachtsmen passing through the Chagos, even though there are no proper moorings for yachts and a permit of the BIOT authorities is needed. Now uninhabited, the islands are overrun by low jungle between the coconut trees and it is hard to find the traces of the former settlements.[2][3]
This atoll was settled in the last half of the 18th century by coconut plantation workers from Isle de France (now Mauritius). Little is known about the condition of the workers who were mostly of African origin. Most probably they lived in conditions close to slavery. The company exploiting the plantation was called the Chagos Agalega Company.
The Salomon Islands were surveyed in 1837 by Commander Robert Moresby of the Indian Navy on the HMS Benares. Moresby's survey produced the first detailed map of this atoll. The atoll was surveyed again in 1905 by Commander B.T. Sommerville on the HMS Sealark, who drew a more accurate map. Some of the Salomon Islands were inhabited by the Chagossians, but at the time that the British Government decided to empty the Chagos of local inhabitants only Île Boddam was inhabited.
The inhabitants of the Salomon Islands, numbering about 400, were forcefully evicted by the British and resettled in Mauritius. Île Boddam had a jetty, shops, offices, a school, a church and a villa where the plantation manager lived. All these buildings are now hidden by thick jungle. There are wells on Boddam and Takamaka islands[4] which are still used by yachtsmen to replenish their supplies.[5]
The individual islets of the atoll are, starting in the North, clockwise:
- Île de la Passe
- Île Mapou
- Île Takamaka
- Île Fouquet
- Île Sepulture
- Île Jacobin
- Île du Sel
- Île Poule
- Île Boddam
- Île Diable
- Île Anglaise

The only thing that appeared to be in jeopardy in the main event of the great UFC 129 fight card was George St. Pierre's consecutive round streak.
But as that came to an end, St. Pierre thoroughly and definitively dispatched No. 1 contender Jake Shields to retain his UFC welterweight title, leaving only one possible matchup remaining for the welterweight king—UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
"I just finished my fight, so I haven't considered that," St. Pierre said in his postfight interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan. "It would [make me] reconsider my career—we'll sit and talk."
The fight was a little different than typical St. Pierre fights, as the bout was almost entirely a boxing match, with St. Pierre landing a higher percentage of strikes, but less than Shields in all. To emphasize his feat, St. Pierre fought with one eye from the third round on.
"It happened in the second round," said St. Pierre of the mouse under his eye. "I can't see out of my left eye—I have to go to the hospital, it's bad."
Credit must be given to Shields, though, for the tough performance he put on, going five rounds against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. Shields landed more strikes and bloodied St. Pierre, something that hasn't noticeably been done since his first bout with B.J. Penn.
Still, the win over Shields needs to be the final straw in the cup that is Anderson Silva. Fans have been asking for it, and now there is only one fight standing in the way of the Silva-St.Pierre dream bout.
Yushin Okami will try to play spoiler to that fantasy fight when he takes on Silva at UFC: Rio in August.

months ago i was posting msgs stating, that for years, i believed it would be msft that would come back with an offer in the 22-24 range for yahoo. (that's when yahoo was selling in the 16-18 range).
the only thing i'm changing is the price and even on that i'm gonna hedge a bit and say ballmer may go back to his original offer. (29-30???)
You were wrong then and you're wrong again.
i showed you mine now show me yours. (sorta)

HourlyHours to be determined
Start DateJanuary 30, 2013
I have a several sets of data that need to be transformed from boring charts and graphs into easily readable infographic designs. They need to be beautifully designed images that can be used in various different ways - in keynote presentations, posted on a blog, or attached to email. Together, the set of data needs to be similarly designed to tell a story which is easily understood by a reader who has little to no understanding of the subject matter.
I have ongoing design needs for work of a similar nature, so this initial job is for a small set of data, but the opportunity exits for continuing work.
Skills: design

Skip to comments.Train Runover Survivor (Laid UNDER Train, After He Changed His Mind)
Posted on 12/30/2012 4:09:59 PM PST by nickcarraway
A man jumped in front of an oncoming uptown C local at Penn Station yesterday but survived without a scratch by lying flat between the tracks as the train screeched to a halt over him, witnesses said.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Now I know why my husband was late home from work...
At least that was his excuse.....
Actually a pretty good technique if you get pushed on to the tracks by one of the 11,000 loonies that the ACLU insists have the right to be on the streets.
He may have survived without a scratch, but I'm guessing his shorts might not be in the greatest shape right about now.
Just sayin', y'know?
haha...whadda dick. ;)
"Ya gotta a permit for that load, buddy?" (NYC Cop)
After they get done with him in the courts he'll wish he hadn't changed his mind.
I'm glad he changed his mind and hope he finds help.
In DC there is room under the platforms for someone who falls or is pushed. That is if they have time to get under there.
I remember once a lady was drunk and fell under the train. We went under to look for her expecting to find blood and guts everywhere, as we crawled under the train we looked and here she came crawling toward us. The train had passed over her without touching her.
I hope they make him pay for all those delayed travelers tokens
Wow, didn't know that either. But you're right, you have to get there fast, and not even try to climb out if a train is coming in.
Okay may be a stupid question, but what about that whole 3rd rail thing?
Incredible comments, they're crediting this "save" to Bloomie's weight loss policies.
(sarcasm I hope)
It's been done before.
The third rail is on the outside (could be either side though) of the main rails. It typically has a wood or other insulator covering, is mounted on insulated stand-offs and is energized at a nominal 600 volt d.c. in reference to the main rails. The pick-up mechanism on the train, a sort of paddle like device contacts this rail to pick up the power for the traction motors. There is minimal clearance between the main rail and the third rail, and minimal clearance under the pick-up device. If you were to fall and land between the main and third rail it would be a miracle if you did not get crispy fried..
In many stations and for portions of the right of way there is a gap between the ties of the main rails that provides a depression that in a best case scenario would allow for a person caught on the tracks for whatever reason to lie down in this depression with, again in best case scenario, sufficient room for the trainset to pass overhead without contacting the body.
I do not recommend testing the clearance using your own body.
Okay may be a stupid question, but what about that whole 3rd rail thing?
You should be alright as long as you don't pee on it.
I'd always assumed there was room underneath a train, either a subway train or a regular surface train, for a person lying flat to have the train pass over him harmlessly. Are you saying that the bottom of a train is so close to the ground that there isn't even 18 inches of clearance between the ties and the underside of the train?
It has been many years since I crawled around under a railroad car so any new developments in design or configuration are unknown. Back in the day there was clearance under your standard freight car. You might get hit with a low hanging air hose though. An unknown in the world of standard (not subway designs) is what the clearance under the locomotive itself is. I probably could get this info next time I can catch up with an acquaintance who works in train service for one of the major carriers - but due to our differing schedules, I don't see him that often.
Subway cars nether regions I am not familiar with, so maybe if there are any NYCT people out there we can get a better answer. I do know that on the NYCT system, the 'trench' between the main rails can be seen at most every station by looking at the tracks - just make sure there are no nutcases in a pushing mood when you look!
Like I said, I wouldn't want to test the clearance with my body. Maybe we have a volunteer..
≤}B^) -- of course
I'm guessing about 14 inches, with the main limitation being from the traction motors. Otherwise, it would be at least 20 inches.
It is a bad day when I don't learn something new.
Thank you once again.
At 14 inches I might just make it, though it would be like having the world's worst mammogram.
Traction motors? Do diesel engines have to claw their way along the tracks? Sheesh, why do they have to be so low?
I think the average traction motor is too large in height to be mounted entirely above the axle. Therefore, a significant part of it extends below; from what I have seen, it probably averages eight or ten inches below the centerline of the axle.
10-4 on the mammogram there. Some people, for various anatomical reasons, stand tall when they lie down.
Well after all, that's how Lionel trains do it!
Again, not familiar with transit/subway motor car stuff (except that, no they aren't like Lionel ;-) but at least in NYC the third rail, whether Transit or NYC, er, Metro North all have the rail on the outside. There may be someplace somewhere that does it differently..
On freight railroads, your typical diesel electric locomotive is on a 42" diameter wheel (ref: GE AC6000) or there-abouts - GP38's are 40" I believe - so that puts the center of the axles at a nominal 20" above the rail head. Typical rail height is in the area of 7" (more than you ever wanted to know about rail dimensions) so the maximum clearance above the ties would be 27" or so. The traction motors do indeed extend below centerline of the drive axle, but exact dimensions I don't know. But.. here is a page from Progress Rail that shows the typical truck assembly so you can decide whether you want to check out whether you would fit under one of these.
As I said, I decline to be the test body... ;-) And Happy New Year!
I've never seen a center third rail either, not in 12-inch scale that is. Of course there are cog railways with the rack down the center. That could ruin your day, but I don't think by electrocution.
As to traction motor clearance, I was going on the assumption of a 36 inch wheel for rapid transit/light rail, a 5 inch diameter axle, and a 7 inch rail height.
So that would be (7 + (36-5)/2) = 22.5 inches to the axle, and then minus maybe 8 inches for the underhang of the traction motor, leaving 14.5 inches net clearance.
In my case, assuming face-up, a low-grade liposuction. Or liposection, more like.

actually evolution tells us that black people were the first ever humans and then later evolved to white people, making white people the newest breed of man and also the smartest people that ever existed where white people well European to be exact, like Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and Stephen hawking.

Reminder - CFP "Devouring Japan" conference UT Austin Feb. 21-22
United States
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin invites paper proposals for "Devouring Japan," a 2-day interdisciplinary conference on Japanese food and food cultures, to be held in Austin on February 21-22, 2014.
Building on growing academic interest in food studies, the conference seeks to explore five themes that will serve as analytical frameworks for the proceedings: Production, Consumption, Circulation, Representation, and Identity. We seek to include innovative research that explores Japanese foods from a variety of perspectives including: the material culture of cuisine; histories of iconic foods, beverages or key chefs/restaurateurs; ethnographic and ritual practices involving foods; government policy and the regulation of food; representations of food in art, literature and film; globalization and/or transnational hybridization of foods; and how local, regional and national identities are shaped by foods.
The conference will include keynote lectures by Professors Ken Albala (Professor of History, University of the Pacific) and Eric Rath (Professor of History, University of Kansas). It will culminate in a keynote roundtable discussion by Professors Albala and Rath, together with select panelists, to reflect upon the potentials for cross-disciplinary research between Food and Japan Studies. In addition to presenting original research, invited scholars will be asked to actively participate in panel discussions by acting as respondents and in the culminating roundtable session. Participants will also be asked to submit a draft (12-15 pages) of their papers by January 25, 2014 for distribution to other conference participants. A select number will be invited to revise their papers by August 31, 2014 for publication in an edited volume. Thanks to the generous support of the Japan Foundation and the Northeast Asia Council of the Association of Asian Studies, UT will cover all ground transportation, meal and hotel expenses in Austin. As befits the themes of the conference, participants will have several opportunities to sample some of Austin's best food offerings. Invited scholars, particularly junior scholars with little access to travel support, will also have an opportunity to apply for additional travel funding in fall 2013.
Interested scholars are asked to submit a short (max. 3 pages) CV and a paper proposal of max. 400 words to Dr. Nancy Stalker, firstname.lastname@example.com, by August 15, 2013.
