...for fun on the Fourth. Thought I'd post this here because I figure there's a few fungi fanciers on this forum. Alright, enough with the alliteration.
Commonly called Dead Man's Fingers for obvious reasons its botanical name is Xylaria (grows on wood) polymorpha (many shapes). Sometimes stubby, other times slender, sometimes with "finger nails" sometimes not, it always gives me a kick when I see it pop up. This is growing on an apple tree log I used to make a bit a berm with. Have a happy Fourth...and stay cool...but not stone cold. tj |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fun Fungi Facts
Follow-Up Postings:
That's a 'cool ' fungi! I'd be really interested in seeing the progression of this fruiting body, if you have time (and wouldn't mind). Sounds like it's a long lasting structure. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Wed, Jul 4, 12 at 21:31
You got it, rhizo. I'll keep an eye on it and take pix. tj P.S. You were one of the folks I knew would enjoy it. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Mon, Aug 20, 12 at 22:11
Just an update, 7 weeks later. It appears the "fingernails" are much larger (does that prove they keep growing when we die?) and now are pitted at the end. Still very much intact, though. Talk about long lasting fruiting bodies for a fungus. tj |
I'd thought these might ripen all at once, but just now read your link and see where it says they can release spores over an extended period - interesting. Interesting too is that your dead man seems to have 10 mature fingers at this point, do you find that just a little creepy ;) |
How interesting! I never would have thought that they would be so sturdy and long lasting. |

What a fabulously funky, freaky fungus! Our farm freshly blessed us with 2 holly tree trunks from which we're formed fringes for flower beds. Frankly, I foresee them forming a few friendly, feisty fungi forms from festering. Feel free to form frequent fotos! Forum fans find them fascinating! (Don't really have a farm, but even thesaurus.com had no "F" word for yard or property. And I agree with spell check on "fotos" - fake form!) |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Wed, Jan 2, 13 at 1:47
Just a bit of closure on this thread (and since the forum is a bit slow). This pic was from November. I'll bet a remnant is still there under the snow. tj |
Thank you, so much, for posting another image. It's so seldom we get to see what happens next! |
This still remains one of the most interesting fungus I've seen. |
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Mon, Jun 17, 13 at 18:53
You would think a thread about dead man's fingers would be allowed to die, but I had to add a last update. The remnants of last year's fruiting bodies are just visible in this pic and there is the emergence of this years fruiting bodies. So things have come full circle and, like a relay race, there is no lost connection between what was and what's next. tj Edit:Note to Photobucket users- evidently sometimes when PB shows it re-oriented your pix 90 degrees you may have to re-save them to get them to take. |

Fascinating, tj. Thanks so much for posting this. |

Zach Veach began racing when he was 12 years old. He started in go-karts and soon moved onto Formula BMW. In 2010, he competed in the USF2000 National Championship and moved up to the Star Mazda Championship in 2011. In 2012, he had 11 top-10 finishes in Star Mazda. Outside of the track, Veach released his first book, 99 THINGS TEENS WISH THEY KNEW BEFORE TURNING 16, with an appearance on NBC's The Today Show.
Hobbies: Aviation/flying, rock climbing, mountain biking, Remote Control cars and planes, golf
Snapshot: I'm always looking for the exciting sides of life and eager to learn something new; from rock climbing to sitting in the race car, I'm hooked on the rush of life you get when doing something out of the ordinary. This is a part of the reason for me getting my pilot's license this year as well. But even more importantly, I love to help people and make a difference in their lives for the greater good, because that's a win-win for everybody.
Racing goal: To become an IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500 professional race car driver
Racing hero: Michael Andretti
My fitness routine includes: A lot of strength training in the off-season to build up muscle and then a lot of cardio to stay in shape during the season. Also, I have to eat as much as I can every day to try to gain more weight (4,000 to 6,000 calories).
Any pre-race rituals or superstitions: Always have to get in from the right side of the car
The one talent I wish I had: Looking my age! Seriously, though, probably basketball.
An interesting note about me: This will be my fifth season with Andretti Autosport, and my last season as a teenager.
2013: Completed rookie Indy Lights season in seventh place with one pole position, one podium, six top-five finishes and 56 laps led … earned Key Bank Community Leader Award for being the driver "who best displays a passion for community service and community outreach" … named to Got Chocolate Milk's Team Refuel… appeared on Larry King's 'King's Things' program after a nationwide hunt for inspirational people
2012: Finished 10th in the Star Mazda Championship Presented by Goodyear (now Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires) point standings … claimed 11 top-10 finishes … won the Formula Car Challenge presented by Goodyear Winter Series championship with four race wins and four pole positions to capture the title
2011: Clinched the USF2000 Cooper Tires Winterfest championship title with two race wins and two podium finishes … voted "Most Popular Driver in USF2000" along with being named by ESPN The Magazine as a NEXT athlete in motorsports
2010: Finished fifth in the USF2000 series with 10 top-five finishes in 12 starts with Andretti Autosport … recorded a podium finish of third in only his second USF2000 race.
2009: Signed to compete in the Atlantic Championship Series, before it folded in early 2010 (in which he would have become the youngest competitor in the series' 37-year history) … test driver in Formula BMW and Formula Atlantic Series … Indiana Karting Series New Castle Shifter Kart Champion … GLSS New Castle 80cc Shifter Kart Champion.
2008: Mid-State Ohio Karting Club Points Runner-Up in the Yamaha Jr. Class … set Mid-State Ohio Karting Yamaha Jr. track record.
2007: Set Yamaha Jr. Sportsman track record at Circleville (Ohio) Raceway Park … Mid-State Ohio Karting Club Points Championship for Yamaha Jr. Sportsman Class… Mid-State Ohio Karting Club "Rookie of the Year" … Commercial Point Grand Prix Champion (Ohio) … scored 12 feature wins and 26 heat wins in the MSOKC circuit (Ohio).
Based in Indianapolis and led by racing legend Michael Andretti, Andretti Autosport fields multiple entries in the Verizon IndyCar Series. Andretti Autosport also campaigns multiple cars in Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires and the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires.
The company boasts four IndyCar Series championships (2004, 2005, 2007 and 2012), two Indy Lights titles (2008 and 2009), one USF2000 championship (2010) and has won the Indianapolis 500 in 2005, 2007 and 2014.
Andretti competed for 19 years in CART before moving to the IndyCar Series in 2003. He retired from full-time driving following the 2003 Indianapolis 500 to concentrate on team ownership and drove for the final time in the 2006 Indianapolis 500.

Create inspiration boards, share ideas with your friends and wedding vendors, get feedback from brides like you, and lots more!
Project and Photos by Erica O'Brien Piped flowers are perfect for everything from backyard weddings to bridal showers to formal affairs. Although they had fallen out of favor during the height of the fondant craze, piping has made a huge comeback. You can use any buttercream recipe you like, but we prefer Swiss meringue buttercream. Because it's made with real butter, it has a slightly yellow tint, so be sure to practice on a small batch before adding lots of color. What You'll Need: Small (8" or 10") piping bag fit with leaf tip (such as Wilton tip 68) Large (18" or larger) piping bag fit with small star tip (such as Wilton tip 1M) Ivory, light pink, dark pink and leaf green buttercream Large icing spatula Small icing spatula To fill the piping bag, fold the top third over your hand. Use small icing spatula to fill small piping bag about half full with leaf green buttercream. To fill large piping bag, open base of piping bag wide so tip is visible. Think of interior of piping bag as a circular (pie-shaped) cavity divided into thirds. Fill large piping bag with ivory, light pink, and dark pink buttercream, placing each color to fill only one third of the interior of the pie-shaped cavity in the piping bag. Twist piping bag to create pressure on buttercream. Hovering above cake surface, squeeze piping bag until full star is formed. Release pressure so buttercream ceases to flow and lift up and away from cake . Repeat shape directly touching previous shape. Continue on top and side of cake creating a round, piped mound. Continue creating round piped mounds around edge of cake. To create leaves, twist piping bag to create pressure on buttercream. Hovering above cake surface, squeeze piping bag until buttercream starts to come out. Gently touch buttercream to cake surface to adhere. Gradually release pressure while pulling away to create a pointed leaf. Enjoy!

Project and Photos by Brittni Mehlhoff Create inexpensive escort cards that are completely unique with this DIY idea that guests are sure to love. Why? It comes with a sweet treat, of course. These numbered cupcake toppers will satisfy any guests sweet tooth and cleverly direct them to their reception table. Materials: Decorative Paper Scissors Craft Glue Pen Pencil Fresh Flowers, such as Aster or Gerber Daisies How To: 1. Draw or trace numbers onto decorative scraps of paper. 2. Cut out each number carefully with scissors. 3. Hand letter guests names, with a pen, onto each number. These numbers will represent what table your guests will be placed at for the reception. 4. Glue small flowers to each number and let dry. Hang the finished escort cards from a bulletin board or rest each one on top of a cupcake for your guests to enjoy. Optional: If the paper you're using is thin and/or flimsy, attach a small bamboo skewer or lollipop stick to the number before sticking it into the cupcake.

Tissue paper flowers are a design-forward and inexpensive alternative to fresh or gumpaste flowers. They can be made well in advance and saved indefinitely. We recommend that they be used only with fondant cakes, as you don't want the dye in the tissue paper to come into contact with buttercream. What you'll need: Crepe and/or tissue paper in the color palette of your choice Toothpicks (or skewers) Scissors Floral tape How To: Step One: To form the center of the flower, cut a length of paper about three inches wide. Step Two : Fold the paper so that each fold is about ¾" wide. (For smaller flowers, folds should be smaller; for larger flowers, folds should be bigger.) Step Three: Use sharp scissors to cut a rounded edge. Step Four: When unfolded, paper should have a scalloped edge. Step Five: Begin rolling scallop in onto itself, pinching about ¼ of the way down from scalloped edge so that paper flares and opens slightly. Step Six: Continue until entire length of paper is rolled up. Step Seven: Twist the base of the paper as tightly as possible to form a stem. Step Eight: Using a contrasting color, repeat steps one through seven, placing new paper around already-formed center. Step Nine: Continue until entire length of paper is rolled up. For even larger flowers, additional layers of paper can be added by repeating steps two through seven. Step Ten: Place toothpick or skewer against "stem" of flower. Step Eleven: Stretch floral tape to activate, and wrap tightly around both toothpick and tissue paper until all paper is covered. Step Twelve: Insert toothpick into fondant-covered cake. Step Thirteen: Make as many flowers as desired to complete your design. Enjoy! -

Looking for a less traditional cake topper for your wedding? These vintage fabric stars will bring a dose of bright charm to your cake or dessert bar. Materials: To make them, you'll need basic star frame(s), mod podge, fabric, and scissors. Small cardboard star frames are available at your local craft store, while larger metal frames can be readily found at thrift stores or at many big box stores. Materials (cont.): Find a fabric that coordinates with your wedding day. Search Etsy for a wide variety of pretty vintage florals or check your local fabric store for vintage replica fabrics. Step One: Cut your fabric to the approximate size of your star and dredge it in a bowl of Modge Podge until completely wet. Place the fabric on top of your mold and use your fingers to gently shape it into form. Let dry overnight. Step Two: Once dry, cut the fabric closer to the frame shape and turn over. Secure any extra fabric in the back with glue. Step Three: Use wood glue to attach a stick to the backside of a large star frame. Many smaller frames come sold with small wooden sticks already attached. Display Tip: Place one large star in your cake for a bold bright touch or scatter smaller stars atop cakes, cupcakes and desserts. -

You'll need: 1. 3 cake pans (sizes: 11", 8", 4.5") 2. A cake stand (aprox "12 round) 3. A pound cake recipe 4. Buttercream frosting (4 cups) 5. 1 frosting knife 6. Flowers + herbs (make sure they are organic and edible!) Bake your cakes the night before and let them cool overnight. Put together with toothpicks holding the layers. Once you have placed your toothpicks, stack your cakes carefully! Almost there... Voila! Measure layers to make sure that all the cakes are centered from all sides. Frost with frosting knife -- get the knife wet to make it extra smooth. Clean off edges of the cake stand. Keep refrigerated until right before serving. Your cake is ready to decorate now! Have fun adding edible herbs and flowers. Herbs will hold up for a long time, but add the flowers last minute so add them that morning, securing them with frosting. Using a pound cake recipe is your best bet because they do not crumble. Buttercream frosting can melt easily, keep your cake as cool as possible before serving! Your gorgeous cake is ready! The best part ... tasting the sweet creation. -

Inspired by the sweet strawberry cakes that Swedes make during their Midsummer holiday each year, we came up with this festive wedding cake! It's perfect for an outdoor, rustic wedding. You can make the cake yourself, or simply embellish a store bought cake using our styling inspiration. It's easy and such a unique idea!
First you'll need a white dome cake. We used a citrus flavor dome cake filled with whip cream, from a small family bakery, and it was delicious. We just took off the doily and cardboard it came on and slid it onto a rustic wooden board. You could also make your own. Here are instructions on how to make a dome cake.
You will need around two pints of strawberries per cake.
Cut the stems off and slice the strawberries in half.
Lay the strawberries flat side down, all over the cake.
Keep the cake in the fridge until just before the reception.

You will need a chocolate cake recipe, along with an equally delicious recipe for chocolate ganache which we found here. Ingredients for this yummy cake typically include unsweetened cocoa, buttermilk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract and baking soda. For the ganache topping, make sure you have plenty of whipping creme and semisweet chocolate chips. Always mix your ingredients together well and let sit for a bit!Bundt cake pans. Each of these will serve approx. 5 guests. We like these.
Tip: Make the cakes ahead of time and freeze them.

PUNE: Experts highlighted the need for a regulatory body to audit the provision of healthcare in India, at the 18th annual congress of the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) and International Critical Care Congress that concluded in the city on Sunday. The five-day conference began on February 15.
"Similar to the USA's joint commission of health accreditation, which audits every single facility, quality of treatment and the death rate in a hospital, a regulatory body to audit the delivery of healthcare in India is the need of the hour," said critical care expert Shirish Prayag
"It is time for us to attempt to have an objective review of our health services. The healthcare industry in India is evolving, but through the financial module, which should be analysed; for that an authoritative body is necessary," he added.
Prayag said that preventive measures and advanced critical care facilities were both equally important, as lifestyle-related illnesses have become an integral part of today's way of living. Odd working hours and frequent travelling invite issues like accidents, obesity and heart ailments, which need the best healthcare facilities, he added.
While comparing the western and Indian critical care scenarios, Ken Hillman, professor of intensive care at the Liverpool Health Service, Australia, said, "The intensive care units in India are of international standard. They have developed rapidly in the last 10 years and are well-equipped now."
The US invests 16% of its GDP in health services, whereas Cuba invests only 9% of its GDP on the same. Despite the difference, the US ranks 26th in the WHO rankings, while Cuba at 28, is only two positions below the US. This is because Cuba concentrates on basic facilities, like educating people with the basics of healthcare, Hillman said.
"As medical services are becoming expensive by the day, the biggest challenge faced by the critical care sector today is to provide the best possible medical facilities at affordable prices," he added.
Rouby Jean Jacques, director of the Experimental Intensive Care Unit and vice-dean of the University School of Medicine, La Pitie-Salpetriere, France, said, "The job of intensivists is the same in any country. Even in rural India, medical expertise is excellent, just the facilities available differ sometimes."
A short film titled 'Resonant Notes', based on the life of an intensivist, was showcased at the inauguration. Noted actors Benjamin Gilani and Subodh Bhave have acted in the film, directed by Kiran Yadnyopavit.
Intensivist Kapil Zirpe, the conference's organising secretary, said, "Critical care practices in India have evolved significantly over the past decade. Critical care initially began as a service in major hospitals, but with the formation of the ISCCM, the development of this specialty has been rapid."
"There are currently about 200 medical colleges with hospitals attached to them in India. Additionally, there are more than 1,000 district hospitals. But only a small proportion (10%) of all these hospitals have properly equipped or staffed intensive care units," Zirpe added.
Constituted in 1993, ISCCM is the largest non-profit association of Indian physicians, nurses, and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the care of the critically ill. Over 4,500 doctors in 30 cities across India are members of the society.

text: Persistence Halts Power Plant Construction Until the fall of 1999, companies wanting to build merchant power plants were flocking to Indiana and fully expecting to have their applications approved without public discussion or opposition. However, things changed when citizens from all over Indiana--including many Hoosier Chapter members--began learning the facts and objecting to power plants proposed specifically to sell power on the national grid to the highest bidder, not to lessen Indiana's dependence on coal-burning plants. These power plants are not designed to replace any coal-burning facilities. In fact, what they will likely replace is serious planning or even justification for conservation and use of renewable energy sources like solar power, fuel cells, and wind power. Indiana citizens have discovered these natural gas facilities will use millions of gallons of water a year, and the air emissions will include several carcinogens, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide, and increase the levels of ozone. The plants in Delaware and Henry counties are located in pristine farmland. But since the fall, citizen opposition has grown fierce in Delaware, Bartholomew, Clay, Pike, Wells, and Henry counties. In February, the commissioners of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission attended a field hearing in Henry County. A crowd of more than 500 people came to be heard. They came with testimonials and evidence garnered from journals, the Internet, and newspapers. They spoke with passion and knowledge about antiquated transmission facilities, health effects, aquifers, and more. Five hours into the hearing, at midnight, over 100 people were still demanding to be heard. It wasn't just the number of people that impressed the IURC, it was their persistence. As a result, the IURC put a halt to the construction of the Henry County plant. The IURC has asked for a report from the local county commissioners on the appropriateness of this power plant with respect to their comprehensive plan. All the other counties around Indiana are waiting to see if Henry County's commissioners will stand up for their constituents. The siting of merchant power plants and the state's plan for balance between energy production and conservation will hinge on this one decision. The Five Rivers Group and the Hoosier Chapter have passed resolutions supporting moratoriums on these plants. Copyright © 2007 Hoosier Chapter Sierra Club, all rights reserved.[9/25/02]efp |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Kelley!
Facts about Kelley
- Breed: Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Kelley's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Kelley was rescued on St. Patrick's Day and what a blessing she is. She was slightly fearful but quickly warms up with some reassurance. She is people friendly, she loves attention and has so much to offer. Please come meet her today, you will not be disappointed.
Other Pets at Tails of Time Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kelley, a Upper Saddle River Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Upper Saddle River, or seeking a Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Upper Saddle River.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Upper Saddle River already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Upper Saddle River breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Upper Saddle River paves the way for another one to be saved.

There is perhaps little doubt that Ka'anapali Beach on West Maui has just about everything any beachgoer would want. Starting at the North at Pu'u Keka'a (Black Rock) at the Sheraton Maui Resort and extending south all the way to the Hyatt Regency Maui, it is some of the best beach candy that you'll find.
Among just soaking up the sun, there are an exhausting number of activities and entertainment options offered along the beach for both during the day and after the sun goes down. Even after sunset, Ka'anapali Beach is a starry dream for any one wanting a late night stroll along the beach.
Beach Highlights
Being one of the larger beaches on Maui, there's a lot of ground to cover, and perhaps not enough time in a day or two to do everything you'd like to. Perhaps that's one of the reasons the condos and resorts along Ka'anapali Beach seem to be so popular, since guests have most if not all of their vacation needs right at their doorstep.
For our daylight hours, we enjoy the Ka'anapali Beachwalk at least once or twice a trip. Roughly 1.5 miles from one end to the other, it's a good way to get your exercise for the day. Browsing through Whalers Village and just relaxing on the sandy beach enjoying the warm sunshine also helps round out a typical afternoon on Ka'anapali Beach for us. Just sitting for 15 minutes, you can watch the keiki (kids) climb up and jump off of Black Rock, see snorklers chasing turtles around the reef, spot daring parasailers high above the water and witness the occasional catarmaran or sailboat floating by.
At night, just about every dinner option along the beach offers a great view of the most beautiful sunsets you'll likely find anywhere in Hawaii, so you really never have to leave too far from the beach itself. With a memorable sunset fresh in your mind and a tasty meal in your stomach, what better encore than a romantic stroll along the beach under the stars. It doesn't get much more perfect than this.
Here's a brief list of the types of activities that keep people coming back to Ka'anapali Beach:
- Black Rock Cliff Dive Ceremony
- Canoeing and Kayaking
- Day Spa and Massages
- Jet skiing
- Ka'anapali Beachwalk
- Parasailing
- Romantic, after-dinner stolls along the beach
- Scuba Diving Lessons
- Snorkeling
- Sunset Cocktail Cruise
- Stargazing on the beach
- Whalers Village

I'm certainly no plant expert and don't know what that large leafed plant is, but those small ferny looking little plants look like they could be artemesia. I have only had the Silver Mound and it seems they looked like this as young plants. Good luck with your search. Please post when you get a definitive answer. I'm curious. |

Hi Marcia, Is it a type of verbascum? Sierra |
Sierra, heaven forbid! LOL I don't think it is - can't find a tag of course, but i haven't planted any verbascum in years - dug it up, yes, but not planted it! Chickadee, the plant in back is a yellow achillea. Yes, 'Parker's Variety' - just found it in my WS notes. It's for my granddaughter, if my son ever gets another flower bed made for her! I can't remember where the seeds came from, but it seems like they were mislabeled. |

Marcia, the plants I noticed were the little ferny ones--one behind the cactus, another bottom right and the 3rd beside the big leaf in front of the yarrow. What are they? They also look like cosmos. |
So it is a sage, Sharon? Wonder why i couldn't find anything on it. Will have to check that out. Thanks! Chickadee, some of those ferny things are reseeded cosmos, some are dillweed. :) Oh, and in the corner of the picture is Henry, Jr. Remember Henry Kelsey the cowb - uh, rose? That's his offspring, who overwintered in a container in the holding bed. Will have to plant him soon. |
Salvia argentia! Okay! LOL |

Resilient Blackhawks respond with 3-1 win over Kings
BY MARK LAZERUS Staff Reporter December 15, 2013 8:34PM
Article Extras
Updated: December 15, 2013 10:31PM
As the minutes melted away in the third period, Blackhawks goaltender Antti Raanta allowed his mind to wander, just a little bit. After all, the rookie was tantalizingly close to the first shutout of his NHL career — less than 24 hours after getting yanked in Toronto after two miserable periods.
"I think I wasn't thinking about the game too much, I was thinking a little bit [about the] shutout in the last five minutes," Raanta admitted. "But that was quickly over."
Yes, Raanta lost his shutout bid with 3:54 left in the game. But another thing was quickly over on Sunday — the bad vibe from the Hawks' dreadful performance in Toronto a night earlier. They snapped the Los Angeles Kings' six-game win streak with an impressive 3-1 victory in a rematch — and potential preview — of the Western Conference final.
It was a big bounce-back not just for Raanta, but the entire Hawks roster, who were pretty much all to blame for Saturday's 7-3 disaster in Toronto.
"We didn't help our goaltenders at all [against the Maple Leafs]," said Hawks captain Jonathan Toews, who set up two goals in a strong all-around effort. "Pucks were going through our feet, through our sticks, we weren't checking, we were losing all the battles. Tonight we worked a little harder in front of [Raanta], and I think he showed the same resolve."
Indeed, of all the positive signs the Blackhawks have shown this season — a high-powered offense, a top-five power play, and next-level performances from Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith, to name a few — perhaps their most encouraging attribute has been their ability to move on, and to bounce back.
This was just the latest example. After a disastrous 7-2 loss in Nashville on Nov. 16, the Hawks throttled San Jose 5-1 the next night. After a 5-1 loss in Colorado on Nov. 19, the Hawks kickstarted a six-game road winning streak with a 6-3 victory in Winnipeg. And now, after a 7-3 loss at Toronto, they responded with an impressive win over maybe the hottest team in the league.
The Kings came in having won six straight, and having not allowed a first-period goal in a record-tying 18 straight games. The Hawks made quick work of that staggering streak, scoring three times in the first period.
Marian Hossa snapped the streak with a shorthanded goal at 5:45 of the first after Toews won a puck battle behind the Kings net. Barely four minutes later, Kris Versteeg kept the puck on a two-on-one and beat Scrivens. Then, with 28.2 seconds left, Toews fed Patrick Sharp for a power-play goal and a 3-0 lead. It was the ninth straight game in which the Hawks scored at least once on the power play.
"Good response from [Saturday] night's game," said Quenneville, who moved into a tie with Pat Quinn for fourth on the all-time wins list at 684. "Lot of energy in our lineup tonight. And Jonny led the charge."
Raanta, who allowed five goals in two periods in Toronto, made 21 saves in all, with his finest coming when the Kings were shorthanded late in the second, as he made a sprawling toe save on a golden chance for Anze Kopitar. But Alec Martinez scored with 3:54 left to spoil the shutout bid.
Still, the win was as much a relief as it was a triumph for Raanta, who admitted to feeling uneasy after such a poor performance in Toronto, knowing that he's still trying to establish himself as an NHL-caliber goalie.
"Sometimes you just have those nights," Raanta said. "I don't know if any goalie's a robot. Everybody makes mistakes."
The key for the Hawks is making them, then learning from them, and fixing them.
"It's nice to see we can rebound from that," Toews said. "Doesn't take us long to get back to our good habits."

Ehrman, Bart D.Overview
Publication Timeline
Most widely held works about
Bart D Ehrman
Most widely held works by
Bart D Ehrman
Lost Christianities : the battle for Scripture and the faiths we never knew
by Bart D Ehrman
26 editions published between 2002 and 2005 in English and held by 3,162 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "In Lost Christianities, Bart D. Ehrman offers a fascinating look at these early forms of Christianity and shows how they came to be suppressed, reformed, or forgotten. All of these groups insisted that they upheld the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, and they all possessed writings that bore out their claims, books reputedly produced by Jesus' own followers. Modern archaeological work has recovered a number of key texts, and as Ehrman shows, these spectacular discoveries reveal religious diversity that says much about the ways in which history gets written by the winners. Ehrman's discussion ranges from considerations of various "lost scriptures"--Including forged gospels supposedly written by Simon Peter, Jesus' closest disciple, and Judas Thomas, Jesus' alleged twin brother - to the disparate beliefs of such groups as the Jewish-Christian Ebionites, the anti-Jewish Marcionites, and various "Gnostic" sects. Ehrman examines in depth the battles that raged between "proto-orthodox Christians"--those who eventually compiled the canonical books of the New Testament and standardized Christian belief - and the groups they denounced as heretics and ultimately overcame."--Jacket
Truth and fiction in The Da Vinci code : a historian reveals what we really know about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Constantine
by Bart D Ehrman
23 editions published between 2004 and 2006 in English and held by 3,096 WorldCat member libraries worldwide A biblical historian examines the history of the early Christian church that forms the background for "The Da Vinci Code," pointing out inaccuracies in the novel and providing an introduction to biblical scholarship
Lost scriptures : books that did not make it into the New Testament
by Bart D Ehrman
21 editions published between 2003 and 2005 in English and held by 3,007 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "We may think of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament as the only sacred writings of the early Christians, but this is not at all the case. Lost Scriptures offers an anthology of up-to-date and readable translations of many non-canonical writings from the first centuries after Christ - texts that have been for the most part lost or neglected for almost two millennia." "Lost Scriptures gives readers a vivid picture of the range of beliefs that battled each other in the first centuries of the Christian era. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Bible or the early Church."--Jacket
Misquoting Jesus : the story behind who changed the Bible and why
by Bart D Ehrman
23 editions published between 2005 and 2014 in English and held by 2,632 WorldCat member libraries worldwide When Biblical scholar Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages, he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. For almost 1500 years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were influenced by the cultural, theological and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. He makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and beliefs stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes--alterations that dramatically affected subsequent versions.--From publisher description
Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene : the followers of Jesus in history and legend
by Bart D Ehrman
11 editions published between 2006 and 2008 in English and held by 2,555 WorldCat member libraries worldwide From the Publisher: Bart Ehrman, author of the bestsellers Misquoting Jesus and Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code, here takes readers on another engaging tour of the early Christian church, illuminating the lives of three of Jesus' most intriguing followers: Simon Peter, Paul of Tarsus, and Mary Magdalene
The lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot : a new look at betrayer and betrayed
by Bart D Ehrman
11 editions published between 2006 and 2008 in English and held by 2,311 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The biblical scholar recounts the events surrounding the discovery and handling of the Gospel of Judas, and provides an overview of its content, in which Judas is portrayed as a faithful disciple
Jesus, apocalyptic prophet of the new millennium
by Bart D Ehrman
18 editions published between 1999 and 2001 in English and held by 1,912 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Few biographical subjects spark passions as intensely as do interpretations of the life of Jesus. In this highly accessible book, Bart Ehrman reviews the latest textual and archeological research into Jesus's life and the history of first-century Palestine, and draws a fascinating; controversial portrait of the man and his teachings." "Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament Gospels and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter, Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet, a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within his lifetime, and that a new kingdom would be created on earth - a just and peaceful kingdom ruled by a benevolent God. According to Ehrman, Jesus's belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization underscores not only the radicalism of his teachings, but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to the established leadership in Jerusalem."--BOOK JACKET
The New Testament : a historical introduction to the early Christian writings
by Bart D Ehrman
34 editions published between 1997 and 2012 in English and held by 1,773 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This new edition of Bart Ehrman's highly successful introduction approaches the New Testament from a consistently historical and comparative perspective, emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature. Rather than shying away from the critical problems presented by these books, Ehrman addresses the historical and literary challenges they pose and shows why scholars continue to argue over such significant issues as how the books of the New Testament came into being, what they mean, how they relate to contemporary Christian and non-Christian literature, and how they came to be collected into a canon of Scripture. Distinctive to this study is its emphasis on the historical, literary, and religious milieu of the Greco-Roman world, including early Judaism. As part of its historical orientation, this text also discusses works by other Christian writers who were roughly contemporary with the New Testament, such as the Gospel of Thomas, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the letters of Ignatius. This second edition features expanded coverage of the historical Jesus, adds new boxes on various topics (e.g., women in the New Testament and alternative approaches to the historical Jesus), incorporates a twelve-page color photo essay on illuminated manuscripts, and includes several important organizational changes. Ideal for undergraduate and seminary classes in the New Testament, Biblical Studies, and Christian Origins, The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings, Second Edition, is an accessible, clearly written introduction that encourages students to consider the historical issues surrounding these writings. - Publisher
The lost gospel : the quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot
by Herbert Krosney

God's problem : how the Bible fails to answer our most important question--why we suffer
by Bart D Ehrman
11 editions published between 2008 and 2014 in English and held by 1,631 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Renowned Bible scholar Bart Ehrman discusses the contradictory explanations for suffering put forth by various biblical writers and invites all people of faith--or no faith--to confront their deepest questions about how God engages the world and each of us
Jesus, interrupted : revealing the hidden contradictions in the Bible (and why we don't know about them)
by Bart D Ehrman
12 editions published between 2009 and 2014 in English and held by 1,554 WorldCat member libraries worldwide This work addresses the issue of what the New Testament actually teaches, and it's not what most people think. The author, a Bible expert demonstrates that the New Testament is riddled with contradictory views about who Jesus was and the significance of his life. He reveals that many of the books were written in the names of the apostles by Christians living decades later, and that central Christian doctrines were the inventions of still later theologians. Although this has been the standard and widespread view of scholars for two centuries, most people have never learned of it
The orthodox corruption of Scripture : the effect of early Christological controversies on the text of the New Testament
by Bart D Ehrman
22 editions published between 1993 and 2011 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,478 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Exploring the close relationship between the social history of early Christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging New Testament, Bart Ehrman examines how early struggles between Christian "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents over which, in part, the debates were waged. In the process, he provides a valuable analysis of significant textual problems that continue to puzzle New Testament scholars." "Ehrman argues that scribes of the second and third centuries occasionally altered their sacred texts for polemical reasons. In order to make them support established christological doctrine, scribes imported orthodox motions into passages, or modified texts that might have lent support to heretical views. Closely examining three such heresies, Ehrman identifies how the proto-orthodox response affected the evolving texts of scripture, devoting a chapter to adoptionists like the Ebionites, who claimed that Christ was a man but not God; one to docetists like Marcion, who claimed that Christ was God but not a man; and another to Gnostics like the Ptolemaeans, who claimed that Christ was two beings, one divine and one human." "The first full-length work to evaluate textual data with reference to specific controversies between orthodoxy and heresies, Ehrman's thorough and incisive analysis makes a vital contribution to our understanding of the social and intellectual history of early Christianity. In addition, it raises intriguing questions about the relationship of readers to their texts - especially in an age when scribes could transform the documents they reproduced to make them say what they were already thought to mean, effecting thereby the orthodox corruption of Scripture."--Jacket
Studies in the textual criticism of the New Testament
by Bart D Ehrman
14 editions published between 2006 and 2014 in English and held by 1,121 WorldCat member libraries worldwide For the first time in one volume, this book presents contributions to the textual criticism of the New Testament made over the past twenty years by Bart Ehrman, one of the premier textual scholars in North America. The collection includes fifteen previously published articles and six lectures (delivered at Duke University and Yale University) on a range of topics of central importance to the field. Following a general essay that gives an introduction to the field for beginners are several essays dealing with text-critical method, especially pertaining to the classification of the Greek manuscript witnesses. There then follow two articles on the history of the text, several articles on important specific textual problems, and three articles on the importance and use of patristic evidence for establishing the text and writing the history of its transmission. The volume concludes with six lectures designed to show the importance not only of reconstructing an allegedly "original" text but also of recognizing how that text was changed by scribes of the early Christian centuries. This book will be of vital interest to any scholar or advanced student of the New Testament and early Christianity. It will make an ideal companion volume for Bart Ehrman's ground-breaking study, "The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effects of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New Testament" (Oxford, 1993) and the volume he co-edited with Michael Holmes, "The Text of the New Testament in Contemporary Research: Essays on the Status Quaestionis" (Eerdmans, 1995)
Truth and fiction in the Da Vinci code a historian reveals what we really know about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Constantine
by Bart D Ehrman
14 editions published between 2004 and 2011 in English and held by 1,051 WorldCat member libraries worldwide A staggeringly popular work of fiction, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code has stood atop The New York Times Bestseller List for well over a year, with millions of copies in print. But this fast-paced mystery is unusual in that the author states up front that the historical information in the book is all factually accurate. But is this claim true? As historian Bart D. Ehrman shows in this informative and witty book, The Da Vinci Code is filled with numerous historical mistakes
Forged : writing in the name of God : why the Bible's authors are not who we think they are
by Bart D Ehrman
8 editions published between 2011 and 2014 in English and held by 1,031 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "In FORGED New York Times bestselling author, Bart Ehrman, reveals another hidden scandal of the Bible. For centuries, scholars have known that not all of the books in the New Testament are authentic while the general public has been blissfully unaware. The books of the New Testament are widely assumed to be written accounts of Jesus's life by those who knew him best. However, if the Gospels and letters were not written by members of Jesus's inner circle--but by later writers with differing agendas in rival communities--then the authority of the Bible collapses. Based on new, original research, Ehrman takes the reader on a journey to the ancient world and the forgery battles that raged throughout the Roman Empire. The popular myth is that "writing in the name of another" was a common, accepted practice in antiquity. Not so argues Ehrman. Forgery was as scandalous then as it is now. And yet, at a time when all documents and letters where copied by hand and circulated freely with little or no authorial control, identifying who actually penned a piece of writing-be it political, historical, or religious-was fraught with uncertainty. FORGED exposes the forged letters written in the name of Jesus's disciples for the expressed purpose of gaining acceptance in the early church ... which is exactly what happened and why we have the Bible we read today"--
The New Testament and other early Christian writings : a reader
by Bart D Ehrman
10 editions published between 1998 and 2004 in English and held by 865 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Collects every Christian writing known to have been produced during the first hundred years of the church (30-130 C.E.), including the New Testament and other early non-canonical Gospels, Acts, Epistles, and Apocalypses, as well as additional important writings, such as those of the Apostolic Fathers. Each text is introduced with a discussion of its author, date of composition, and themes
Did Jesus exist? : the historical argument for Jesus of Nazareth
by Bart D Ehrman
9 editions published between 2011 and 2014 in English and held by 825 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Large numbers of atheists, humanists, and conspiracy theorists are raising one of the most pressing questions in the history of religion: "Did Jesus exist at all?" Was he invented out of whole cloth for nefarious purposes by those seeking to control the masses? Or was Jesus such a shadowy figure--far removed from any credible historical evidence--that he bears no meaningful resemblance to the person described in the Bible? In Did Jesus Exist? historian and Bible expert Bart Ehrman confronts these questions, vigorously defends the historicity of Jesus, and provides a compelling portrait of the man from Nazareth. The Jesus you discover here may not be the Jesus you had hoped to meet--but he did exist, whether we like it or not.--Publisher

Through its authoritative use of both native text and engaging, accurate translations, it provides an unprecedented look at early Christianity and the New Testament. This is an indispensable volume for any reader interested in church history, antiquity, ancient languages, or the Christian faith. --Book Jacket
How Jesus became God : the exaltation of a Jewish preacher from Galilee
by Bart D Ehrman
7 editions published in 2014 in English and held by 819 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "In a book that took eight years to research and write, leading Bible scholar Bart D. Ehrman explores how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty Creator of all things. Ehrman sketches Jesus's transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus' followers had visions of him after his death-- alive again-- did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today" -- Dust jacket flap
The Apostolic Fathers
by James Loeb
16 editions published between 2003 and 2005 in English and Greek, Ancient and held by 736 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The writings of the Apostolic Fathers give a rich and diverse picture of Christian life and thought in the period immediately after New Testament times. Some of them were accorded almost Scriptural authority in the early Church. This new Loeb edition of these essential texts reflects current idiom and the latest scholarship. -- jacket more

Merrillville council names interim town administrator
By Karen Caffarini Post-Tribune correspondent April 9, 2013 9:00PM
Updated: May 11, 2013 6:13AM
MERRILLVILLE — The Town Council on Tuesday named Public Works director Bruce Spires the interim town administrator while council members discuss options for the vacated position.
Former Town Administrator Howard Fink resigned effective Tuesday. Fink took another job in another state, which he did not name.
Councilman Tom Goralczyk, D-4th, said the council would meet in executive session on April 17 to discuss the position.
"We needed someone in there. The day-to-day operations need to be done," Goralczyk said.
Goralczyk didn't know if the council would seek applications from outside Merrillville or hire from within.
"We'll discuss what our options are. I have no idea what we'll decide to do. I'm only one of seven (council members)," he said.
Spires said he would apply for the position on a permanent basis.
"It would be a pretty easy transition. I do seven to eight different budgets now," Spires said following the meeting.
Spires said the council asked him if he would take on the job in an interim position. He will continue to act as Public Works director as well.
Spires said he will probably divide his day between the town hall complex on Broadway and his current office in the Public Works building on 73rd Avenue.
Spires has been with the town on and off for more than 25 years, starting out as summer help while in college. He was named Public Works director 12 years ago. He also served as the director for a period in the 1990s.
He said he left for the private sector for about seven years.
The council also named a new part-time secretary to the town administrator, who will start her job on April 19. He said the new secretary will work a 32-hour week.
The council hired the former secretary to the town administrator, Charlotte Smiga, as the interim secretary at a rate of $14.28 per hour. Smiga recently retired from the position.

With spring practices right around the corner, two backup players from last year's Oregon football team have decided to leave.
According to GoDucks.com editor-in-chief Rob Moseley, punter Dylan Ausherman and linebacker Brett Bafaro will not return to the team for spring practices.
Along with WR Eric Dungy, who's exploring a transfer, P Dylan Ausherman and LB Brett Bafaro also won't return to the team for spring drills.
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) March 27, 2014
Ausherman and Bafaro aren't the only players from last year's team to announce that they'll be leaving prior to spring workouts. Head coach Mark Helfrich confirmed last week that wide receiver Eric Dungy would explore the option of transferring from Oregon. ESPN reported that Dungy would likely transfer to South Florida.
Bafaro was going to be a redshirt sophomore with the Ducks this coming season. The 6-foot-2 linebacker attended Liberty High School in Hillsboro, Ore. Bafaro played in Oregon's 55-16 rout of California last season.
Ausherman, who was entering his final season with the Ducks as a redshirt senior, attended El Diamante High School in Visalia, Calif.

on October 07, 2013 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
Look around and you will find a number of articles on the effects of the political stalemate / government shutdown on entrepreneurs. For "small businesses", the effects are quite clear, mostly relating to government contracts (more than half the federal spending would go through federal contracts before the shutdown) and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. In addition, with 62% of the SBA's staff furloughed, all counseling is on hold until the government is back up and running. The suspension of these contracts, loans and services represents an immediate "brake" on the economy.
In terms of young, growing companies, the effects are less obvious but probably even costlier in the long run. For example, the prolonged debate around appropriations and the debt ceiling are putting the immigration debate on the back burner (e.g. the Startup Act 3.0 is still waiting to fight its way in Congress). The political delay in solving this and other issues that would impact potential high-growth, high-impact entrepreneurs (e.g. health care for entrepreneurs) could have costly long-term effects because they inhibit the ability of firms to grow and create jobs, or even start.
Innovation also suffers. It is estimated that the FDA furloughed about 45% of its staff and this means that it will only be publishing regulations that are related to "imminent threats to the safety of human life or protection of property." In the mean time, many innovations stay on lab shelves instead of going to market. Some of these might be the companies that are supposed to lead the healthcare revolution.
Many other good ideas, with lots of promise to enhance productivity, have had to delay launch plans and were forced to find non-government related ways to get funding to get off the ground. Luckily, the U.S Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has enough funding from last year to keep operating at normal capacity for up to four weeks.
Have you been furloughed? This might your chance to network and take entrepreneurship lessons. Washington DC's 1776 entrepreneurship campus is working to host a furlough networking event and offer furloughed workers free online classes to take advantage of their downtime.

Shop the Trend: Ladylike Headbands
Headbands landed on our radar a few years ago when stylish girls became obsessed with Blair Waldorf's signature piece on Gossip Girl (this was just one of the many trends the show started—read about the rest here). After a couple seasons, the schoolgirl-inspired bands disappeared from the runways, replaced by messy topknots and sporty, slicked back hair.
This Fashion Month however, we've seen them re-emerge, looking—much like Queen B herself—all grown up. The styles are less preppy and more polished; designers have either opted for thinner bands or opulent embellishments to make the traditionally juvenile accessory look very adult.
