I was never really tempted to do much cussing until I had children. Then of course I had to watch my language so as not to corrupt their minds. One of the reasons our kids knew so many words to so many hymns early on was that when I got irritated, rather than turning my mouth to cussing, I turned it toward the heavens.
When Cathy spilled a can of yellow paint on my kitchen floor I proclaimed in a non-singing clamorous voice, word-by-clearly-enunciated word: Holy God, we praise thy name. Lord of all we bow before thee . . . The time David glued phone book pages together to keep busy on a rainy day; I burst out with My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord After hearing a crash from the living room and finding our twins had pulled a glass lamp off an end table, I began a rendition of Jesus loves me, this I know . . . By the time I reached the final verse of these hymns, Id calmed down enough to speak in quotable phrases.
Actually I learned to cuss in German shortly after I learned to talk, by listening to my maternal grandmother. She never translated, but Im told I was enchanted by her passionate expressions of displeasure. Everybody used to think it was cute when I copied her. This went on until I unfortunately let loose one night when a German speaking priest came to a family dinner. He spilled a glass of water on the dining room table and from my high chair I chided him in three concise German cuss words. This put an abrupt end to any more bilingual efforts. My moms favorite annoyed expression was the relatively mild Hells Bells! which I must admit she used frequently while her four angelic offspring grew up.
Mostly as an adult and now as a senior citizen, if I cuss, its internal, with only rare lapses, one of which was unforgettable. Now theres cussing (bad language), theres profanity, (blasphemy) and theres vulgarity (crudeness). One of my least favorites in the latter category is the S word. I admit that it occasionally creeps across my mind, but hardly ever passes my lips. Except for one day while I was driving with my daughter Mary Clare and her three children.
The grandkids were in the back seat chattering noisily. We were late and had had several traffic setbacks trying to get to a special family gathering. At the last minute we came across a detour that would make us even later. I intoned that awful four-letter word in capital letters and dead silence ensued. Looking into the rear-view mirror I saw three young mouths gaping like caverns. They were alas, unlike me struck temporarily dumb. They looked shocked and disbelieving, which is the way I felt. I apologized with difficulty as my daughter had buried her face in her hands, trying to hide irreverent laughter.
Guilt and gloom encompassed me until we got to our destination. Then that unholy trio of descendants burst into the house shouting gleefully to one and all: Youll never guess what Grandma Barbara just said!
Out of the mouths of babes, my #@*+*# foot!

NYU reserves visa assistance for foreign nationals on academic (i.e. teaching and research) appointments only, both short and long-term. Visa assistance is not provided for support or technical staff, nor administration positions. Upon department request and in consultation with the prospective scholar, International Scholar Services makes a determination about an appropriate visa. A minimum of 3-month lead time for all new scholars arriving from overseas is required for all visa types though 6 months is recommended for H-1B and O-1 visas. Required lead time takes into account time needed for International Scholar Services to process documents and file petitions, and for scholars to obtain visas overseas.
All visa petitions must be filed through International Scholar Services. Privately retained attorneys do not have authority to represent the University in these matters unless authorized by International Scholar Services in consultation with the University's Office of Legal Counsel.
Foreign nationals interested in affiliating as a Visiting Scholar with an NYU department for the purposes of conducting independent research should contact the department or an individual faculty member directly. For individual department information, visit NYU's Academics page. Visiting Scholars are usually given J-1 exchange visitor status and must have adequate financial resources as well as health insurance to qualify for visa assistance. Visiting Scholars coming from overseas to NYU for short stays may come on a B-1 visa or on the Visa Waiver Program. For more information, visit our section on the B-1/B-2 Visas and Visa Waiver Program.

Telemedicine uses technology to provide health careWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Dave Kubacki, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
From travel time to time spent waiting in the office and examination room, a trip to the doctor's office can sometimes feel like full day's work. However, technology such as Apple's FaceTime, Skype and other videoconferencing platforms is allowing some patients to get some of that time back.
Telemedicine is the use of information and communication technology to provide the delivery of health care when distance separates the participants. The term covers a variety of services, said Dr. Jeffrey Gold, chancellor of the University of Toledo Medical Center.
"Just like distance learning means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, distance in medicine can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people," said Gold, who is also
dean of the UT College of Medicine and executive vice president for biosciences and health affairs. "It can mean anything from answering a phone call, sending a voicemail, sending a text message, to doing robotic surgery on the other side of the world."
While many benefits of telemedicine are already being realized, such as being able to send images, cardiograms, X-rays, CT scans and MRIs electronically, there are still countless more benefits possible, Gold said.
Telemedicine allows better access to specialty expertise for remote and underserved populations, reduces costs and waiting times of preclinical or clinical evaluations and allows for the delivery of information across large geographical spaces in short periods of time.
Telemedicine could make the practice of medicine much different in the future, Gold said.
"When there is no physical examination involved and the appointment is more of a discussion, telemedicine might lend itself tremendously," Gold said. "Why drive for some period of time, sit in someone's office or wait around in an exam or consultation room? I would much rather give the patient all of that time back to do the things that are important in his or her life."
Telemedicine often proves beneficial for medical specialties with physician shortages, said Dr. Daniel Rapport, UT associate professor of psychiatry.
"There simply aren't enough psychiatrists," Rapport said. "If you are trying to help underserved areas like some western states with little access to psychiatric care, you could interview patients and provide quality care to those patients and possibly improve outcomes. If you were able to do this with experts in schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, you could get some people well who haven't been well in a long time."
While there are many clear benefits to telemedicine, many physicians have concerns with the lack of face-to-face time with health care providers.
"If you are dealing with certain patients, not being with the patient could prove problematic as you can't develop the same type of therapeutic alliance," Rapport said. "However, some people who are in desperate need of skilled psychiatric or specialty care, aren't going to get it without the use of telemedicine. If done right, telemedicine could be a very helpful intervention and could be potentially as helpful as traditional care."
While a number of providers and organizations have piloted successful telemedicine programs, Gold said there has been difficulty in sustaining and adopting its widespread use and challenges that need to be addressed before telemedicine becomes sustainable.
"Part of the problem is that if you are going to use it, there has to be a system so that the physician or health care provider gets paid for the services that they rendered," Gold said. "Right now, not every commercial insurance carrier and government insurance carrier is actually paying for these services. This is one of the reasons why even the most successful pilot programs have not been sustainable. Once this issue and the issue of being able to use the license across state borders are resolved, I think the [use of telemedicine] will move pretty quickly because if you are licensed to provide this service, payers are going to be in the position of picking that up."

August 5, 2015
People along the Gulf Coast may receive an unwelcome visitor on Christmas Day.
Rough weather, including a chance of strong tornadoes and howling thunderstorms, could be on the way from east Texas to north Florida.
Farther north, much of Oklahoma and Arkansas are under a winter storm warning, with freezing rain, sleet and snow expected on Christmas. A blizzard watch is out for western Kentucky. And no matter what form the bad weather takes, travel on Tuesday could be dangerous.
The National Weather Service says the storms could bring strong tornadoes or winds of more than 75 mph, heavy rain, quarter-sized hail and dangerous lightning in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Forecasters say storms would begin near the coast and spread north through the day, bringing with them the chances of storms, particularly in central and southwest Alabama.
The bad weather is a result of a storm front moving from the West Coast crashing into a cold front.
In California, after a brief reprieve across the northern half of the state on Monday, wet weather is expected to make another appearance on Christmas. Flooding and snarled holiday traffic are also expected in Southern California.

Never really understood the need for a "read-it-later service." If I can't read it online now, I'll bookmark it and read it online later. Got Instapaper as a free Pick of the Week from a certain coffee franchise, but have never used it.
Having said that, I absolutely love The Magazine, another one of Marco's creations. Incredibly good. I "read that later" when I'm offline.

Children's Issues the Focus of Lehigh Valley Discourse
By Rebecca Walz
If, indeed, children are our future, as so many like to say, what might that future look like, given the many challenges our children face: declining resources for education, intervention when they are victimized by predators, and nutrition programs, neighborhoods that are unsafe and so much more. With an election just a few weeks away, the public policy debate appears to be ignoring this critically important but voiceless constituency. In this program, host Alan Jennings is joined by experts on children's issues, including Marci Ronald, Vice President for Community Impact at the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, as they wrestle with these issues.

An Amp Designed to Be Played
Mode Switching: The Heart of Hotwire.
To understand Mode Switching, you have to first understand that the tone of any great tube amplifier is the result of distinctive tube types, specific preamp circuitry, rectifier design, power amp circuitry, speaker voicing and physical cabinet structure all converging into a single and soulful piece of gear. When any link in this well-proven chain is compromised, the resulting tone is equally compromised without exception.
Hotwire's patent pending Mode Switching technology electronically rewires the entire analog circuit path, changing the character of its preamp and power amp sections and re-voicing the speaker to actualize the recreation of classic (and through its extensive editing options, customized) amplification. Because Mode Switching physically changes the fundamental analog circuitry of the amp itself, each of Hotwire's twelve basic Modes is inspiring and real—from the expressive pluck and growl of Class A, '60s era classic tube combos, to the power and grit of Class AB American monsters. In between, you'll find everything from sparkling hi-fi to dynamic crunch tones, all responding to the slightest nuance of the player's touch. Hotwire delivers the rich body and natural tone demanded by the finest electric and acoustic instruments.
Shedding the Weight: A Bold New Power Section Design Focused on Tone
The power section of any tube guitar amp consists of a power supply and a power amplifier. They serve different purposes, yet work together and interactively to create the amplifier's signature tonal character and dynamic response.
Traditionally, tube amplifier power sections have required massive iron power and output transformers. While they're bulky and heavy, they provide the coveted "sag and bloom" that play a primary part in the feel of a great tube amp. These characteristics are critical to the nature of what guitar players simply refer to as "the tube sound." Because the analog components found in traditional designs are inherently imperfect, they dynamically sag and limit range as a player digs in, resulting in natural compression that gives the amp its distinct character.
Greg's driving vision was to design a power section like nothing before. It had to deliver uncompromised, soulful tone, while also providing something every guitar player has dreamed of since lugging a tube guitar amp up a flight of stairs: light weight. It's here that Greg faced one of the primary challenges to delivering on the lofty goals of Hotwire.
Greg's solution was to create the first modern, lightweight, switching power supply with the classic, purposeful "limitations" of a well-designed tube amp power supply – call it recreating imperfection if you like – and couple it with a discrete MOSFET power amplifier, the first of its kind created specifically for guitar applications.
Thanks to the engineering wizardry of Cal Perkins, Hotwire's MOSFET power amp design steps completely around the pitfalls of common bipolar or "chip-based" power amplifiers by incorporating premium discrete, hand-matched output devices in a proprietary high voltage, low feedback design. It shares all of a real tube amp's critical elements of tone recreation, performing faithfully and accurately at peak power levels, while retaining the feedback stability critical for exceptional tone and feel.
Classic Class A or AB, At Any Output Level You Want
Greg's smart power design opened new doors to creating classic tube tone more accurately. After all, one of the deciding factors in a tube amp's tone is the amount of output power being delivered to the speaker. A low-watt, single ended Class A amplifier delivers a distinctive, "greasy" overdrive and super-sensitive response to the player's attack on the strings. Slip in a higher output power amplifier design and it's simply not the same amp. The same holds true for every classic amp, big or small.
Hotwire provides eight power output levels to perfectly pair the power amplifier's headroom and overall output level with the desired preamp circuit configuration. Dial in from 1 to 120 watts to balance the accurate interplay between preamp, power amp and speaker and you've got more flexibility than any guitar amp has ever offered before.

There are no products matching the selection.
Woks from Everything Kitchens are available in two main styles: those with flat bottoms and those with rounded bottoms. Flat-bottomed woks were created to allow for direct stovetop cooking, whereas round-bottomed woks require use of a wok stand to be able to set them down on a cooking surface, allowing for rotation and variable hot spots.
Woks are used mainly for high-heat stir frying but can also be used as a deep-fry pan. Since the Woks are v-shaped, they tend to hold the heat more towards the center of the pan. The heat then distributes out in an even "v" which can be used to the cook's advantage.
Woks from Everything Kitchens range in size from 11" (small for woks) to 14.1" with varying depths. Our wok brands include Le Crueset, Swiss Diamond, and Paderno-World Cuisine. Most of our woks include a non-stick coating which allows for simple cooking, reduced burning, and easy cleanup.

Training Philosophy
The UWM Clinical Psychology program strongly believes in the scientist-practitioner model of training. To us, the scientist-practitioner is not a dual entity consisting of separate research and clinical repertoires. Rather, he or she is a professional psychologist who uses knowledge of research to guide practice and who is fully capable of conducting research in the context of practice (or independent of practice).
The UWM Clinical Psychology Program is a member of The Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, which is a coalition of doctoral training programs that share a common goal of producing and applying scientific knowledge to the assessment, understanding, and amelioration of human problems. Membership in the Academy is granted only after a thorough peer review process. Its membership in the Academy indicates that our program is committed to excellence in scientific training, and to using clinical science as the foundation for designing, implementing, and evaluating assessment and intervention procedures.
Theoretical Orientation
The UWM Clinical Psychology program is committed to empiricism, and approaches research and practice from a theoretically diverse, biopsychosocial perspective. The most common theoretical perspective is cognitive-behavioral/behavior analytic.
Accreditation Status
The Ph.D. program in clinical psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is accredited by the American Psychological Association. The Program is now accredited through 2016 and will complete the reaccreditation process in 2016. The program has been continually accredited since 1980.

Areas of Strength
Training in Scientifically Validated Interventions
The Clinical Psychology program at UWM was the recipient of a 5-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to acknowledge and further develop "Programs of Excellence" in scientifically validated behavioral interventions. This grant support resulted in further development of our curriculum in scientifically validated interventions for various psychiatric disorders, including both coursework and practicum experiences. While offerings vary by year according to faculty interests and availability, we currently offer specialized training in behavioral activation for depression, prolonged exposure for PTSD, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, and cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety in children. Upon successful completion of the UWM program, students will be trained as competent generalist psychologists as they have always been. However, the availability of these specialized therapy teams also means that students they will graduate with specialized clinical training in the competent administration-delivery of assessment and treatment in a specific empirically-supported interventions.
Specialization Training
The UWM Clinical Psychology Program is designed to train psychologists as generalists. However, our faculty research/clinical interests cluster in three primary areas including neuroscience/neuropsychology, behavior therapy, and pediatric/health psychology. As a result, students often leave the program with a focus in one or more of these areas.
Mentor Model
Students are admitted into the clinical program under the supervision of a specific research mentor who matches their specific interests. Graduate students in the clinical psychology program can have an advisor from either the clinical or experimental psychology programs. Visit the faculty site to see a list of both clinical and experimental psychology faculty. Although students enter the program under a specific mentor, students may elect to change advisors at a later time.
Admissions and Interviews
Typically, applications will be reviewed in late December to early January and about 25 – 30 applicants will be invited for the on-site interview day, which is tentatively scheduled for January 30th, 2015. Due to the large volume of applications received, we are not able to interview all applicants or to schedule interviews before that time. Following our evaluation, applicants who are no longer being considered will be notified as soon as possible. However, we maintain a secondary list of another 20 to 25 applicants who remain under consideration in case we determine that additional applicants should be interviewed. These applicants will be notified once our final acceptances have been received and they are no longer in consideration.

A more efficient way to update feeds is to use a ping mechanism. A lot of blog authoring tools send pings to specialized services every time someone creates a new post. Google Blog Search has a ping service, "a way to inform Google Blog Search of weblog updates. These updates are then published and shared with other search engines to allow them to discover the changes to your weblogs. In addition, Google Blog Search will add submitted weblogs to the list of blogs it needs to crawl and index."
I noticed that Google Reader's last update time is identical to the one from Blog Search. Apparently, Google Reader started to use the pings from Blog Search, so the updates will be much faster and you'll actually get the latest news right after they are posted.
(the Search Engine Land story was published at 8:49am ET, that's 3:49pm in my time zone. I should mention that Bloglines didn't have the new post not even at 4:28pm, my local time.)

The gloves/boots/gauntlets/chainmail & clothing all are movie quality material as well! If there would ever be a live action zelda movie for real...i'd want Link to look like this. It helps that the green of his tunic isn't as bright/bold as in the games. That always looks pretty corny in real life cosplay.

That Camilla Luddington cosplay is awesome. Dunno which game Camilla Luddington is from though.
am i a creep for using 360 cam to check out the buttocks of the chicks in the tight costumes? LOL
@WCK619 A woman's waist IS around her belly, typically at the level between bellybutton and the bottom or the ribs. That is called a "waist skirt" or "high waist skirt" and is specifically made to be worn like that.
~And now you know. And knowing is half the battle!~
@metalgeb90 yea lawl
@coolman031089 it's not exactly a cosplay , she is Camilla Luddington. don't know why she didn't show up in a tomb raider costume
@coolman031089 Yo bro, she's the new Tomb Raider!
Right, because Hollywood actresses are well known for their total lack of fashion sense and whatever kids wore when you were in high school will be the fashion forever.

Academy and Tony Award-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave and Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg co-star in the Rattlestick Plawrights Theater world premiere of The Revisionist, Eisenberg's new play that began Off-Broadway previews Feb. 15 at the Cherry Lane Theatre.
Here's a look at the production.

Jesse Eisenberg Recasts Himself As a Playwright in The Revisionist
This is a new article and interview with Jesse about 'The Revisionist':
'Midnight Sun' news
Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Kruger and Emile Hirsch to star in 1940s drama due to shoot this summer.
Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Kruger [pictured] and Emile Hirsch are set to star in 1940s atomic bomb drama Midnight Sun, which London-based sales outfit WestEnd Film has snapped up pre-EFM. The Film Sales Company handles US.
Actor-director Chris Eigeman (Turn the River) has written the script and will direct with Captivate Entertainment's Ben Smith and Jeffrey Weiner (The Bourne Legacy) producing with Eric Morris.
Set in 1943, the drama follows two young post graduates recruited by the US Government to work on a top-secret project in New Mexico. Along with one of the students' new wife, they drop their jazz-filled lives in New York and move to a secret community of scientists in the desert.
Andrew Herwitz and Julianne Hausler executive produce, while Richard Rhodes, winner of the Pulitzer prize for book The Making of the Atomic Bomb, is an advisor on the project.
Principal photography is scheduled to get underway in summer 2013.
Dakota Fanning Watched Sarsgaard And Eisenberg Skinny Dip In Hot Springs
Conservative actress Dakota Fanning was forced to sit and watch her Night Moves co-stars Peter Sarsgaard and Jesse Eisenberg get naked during a skinny-dipping trip in Oregon – because she refused to join in the naked fun.
The trio were in Oregon shooting the drama last year (12) when Sarsgaard suggested they check out one of the state's famous hot springs nearby.
The stars didn't pack their bathing suits, so the Green Lantern star and Eisenberg jumped in naked – however, bashful Fanning admits she was too embarrassed to do anything but watch.
She tells Glamour magazine, "I don't do enough adventurous things, because I'm like, 'I might get hurt.' But when we were doing Night Moves, Peter, Jesse, and I went to these hot springs in Oregon, and I didn't have a bathing suit. The woman who worked there said, 'Oh, not a problem. Clothing's optional after 8pm.' And I was like, 'Whoa. No, no, no! Not doing that. Here. With any of you!'
"So we went in there, and everyone was so comfortable being naked. They were so free. I just sat there and begged to go back to the hotel… It was really fun. I just wanted to have a bathing suit on."
And the beauty admits she sometimes wishes she was more adventurous like her younger sister, actress Elle Fanning: "By nature I'm kind of a reserved person. Something I admire about my sister is that she's very free and just lives life like no one is watching her."

I'm an Artist How Do I Build Business Credit Fast?
There might be a credit crisis but smart people know that this is not the end for business funding. Instead of wondering: how do I build business credit fast? It is time to take advantage of the current credit crisis by learning how the smart people get credit in the millions from banks, private money sources and lending institutions.
Sole proprietorships are tied to your personal credit and you therefore need to make yours a legal business entity before you are allowed to apply for business credit. Choose the ideal legal structure for your business as it will influence other aspects of operation besides credit worthiness, you can learn more at http://buildbusinesscreditfast.webs.com/.
Follow the incorporation with obtaining a tad identification number that is unique for your business. United States dwellers have t apply to the IRS for a tax id which they must use to open a business account and build business profile. You can complete the tax id number application process online and once this number is provided, you can move on.
Register with top credit bureaus and build a comprehensive business profile with them. Bureaus are agencies that monitor your credit habits and calculate a credit score which can fall anything between 330-830, the most preferable being 750 and above on the paydex ratings. Many entrepreneurs do not appreciate the need to achieve and keep a high score but every business needs it as the key to loan approvals no matter how strict the credit approval demands.
Apply for business credit trade lines, which are simply: loans given by people willing to overlook your credit history. They might want to see your business financial statements to determine ability to pay. If satisfied, you will get credit needed but with the promise to change your credit habits and pay back the loan. Maintain good record and soon, your negative history will be wiped out and in its place will be a good credit score.
This will help you acquire business funding that will allow you achieve all business goals no matter how hard the times are. Major world corporations thrive by maintaining a good credit record to secure their chances of getting another loan when they need it. Such organizations know how to pick the lines of credit that will be most productive and easy to repay.
Should you decide to get a business credit card, make sure to keep a low balance and pay ahead of time, as this will strike a good cord with lenders. As a novice, it might be hard to choose business trade lines on your own, but that is no need to fret. Power up your computer, connect to the internet and find our business credit service company for assistance.
We are a major company that specializes in finding the best sources of funding for different organizations at a rapid pace. We meet government regulations that require us to be straightforward with all clients about timelines and charges for our services.

When should you call a plumber
Airdrie Plumbing is one of the most important home improvement facets that any homeowner cannot afford to ignore. While you can fix some plumbing problems by yourself, others require services of a professional plumber. Here is a brief insight on when you should you call a plumber in Airdrie such as myrkr.
Some plumbing problems can wait. However, others may create so many problems in the house and make life miserable if they are not fixed immediately. In this case, calling a professional plumber is as right as rain. This is because since they are specialists at their work, you expect them to provide speedy and reliable solution to your problem. Here are some plumbing emergencies that require immediate action by a professional plumber.
Main line stoppage. If you are experiencing low water pressure throughout the house, the main line may be in fault. On top of being a plumbing emergency, fixing this problem requires sophisticated equipment that the homeowner may not have.
Toilet repair. Obviously, if the toilet is in fault, it needs to be repaired within the shortest time possible because of the inconveniences that come with it.
Sewer line stoppage. A blocked sewerage system may become a breeding place for disease causing microorganisms, leading to outbreaks of various diseases
Extensive water line damage. Water is life. Immediate repair of a faulty waterline is thus unavoidable.
Appliance defects.
Frozen pipes.
Lack of hot water in the house.
Shower valve replacement.
Tub replacement
In cases where permits are required.
Some plumbing problems do not feature in the Do-it yourself plumbing list because they are associated with permit and license requirements. This is because they are crucial to the daily lives of the home occupants and they may attract a possible lawsuit if they are not properly fixed. Some of these problems include:
· Moving existing plumbing fixtures. If you intent to shift the position of your current plumbing fixtures to a completely new location, you need a professional plumber who is licensed to operate in your jurisdiction.
· Remodeling the bathroom. The bathroom is the second busiest room in the house after the kitchen. For this reason, its remodeling should be taken with the seriousness it deserves.
· Adding a new gas line. Mishandling of gas lines can lead to fatal fires which could lead to death and destruction. This is why this is a problem that needs the attention of a plumber in order for it to be fixed successfully.
In a nutshell, some plumbing problems need to be handled by a professional plumber to avoid the "square peg in a round hole" situation. Though they can be broadly categorized into emergency and those requiring permits, it is also important to call a plumber if you lack the necessary tools to handle a simple do-it-yourself plumbing problem. Actually, you can just let plumbers do the donkeywork for you whenever you experience any plumbing problems.

Here's where I'm ordering a .50 barrel in the next few days.
Notice they also have .311 blanks.
I don't have much interest in a .50 BMG. Bad shoulders & no place to realy wring one out. That blank will gather dust for a long time.
I have a LOT of learning to do on my lathe as I've never done any barrel work or anything else other than simple handyman stuff.
By time I learn some more machining skills, reamers may be available anyhow!
I'm not too concerned as it is such a simple chamber, with several ways to do it.
I just jump around from one project to another so much as I come up with ideas for each, that not much comes off the end of my assembly line! But I'm having fun & learning & gathering lots of new tooling, so It must be a GOOD THING.

I have this friend.
His name is Eddie.
Eddie is a man cursed by misfortune, a victim of his own circumstances.
Take the time during our younger days when we took a trip to the farm.
Read backwards, from the end result to the beginning, as if watching a movie in rewind mode.
Trust me. It works.
12:31 p.m.
Eddie comes out of the ER, stepping gingerly. The look in his eyes betrays a feeling of a line crossed that offers no return trip.
We stand stock-still.
We barely dare to breathe.
Not a word, Eddie says in a Mickey Mouse voice as he digs at his ear with his red handkerchief, which is OK with us.
No words can describe what we witnessed and we stand there in mute silence.
Im going home, he says.
Eddie doesnt ask for a ride. We dont offer.
12:30 p.m.
Never seen a case like it before in all my 25 years of practice, the doctor says, Things should return to normal in a few days. Use lots of ice.
12:16 p.m.
Its OK, son, its not as bad as it looks, the doctor tells Eddie. This should be easy really. Youve already laid the track. All we have to do is back up the train.
The doctor looks at his two orderlies and nods.
OK, the doctor says. On the count of three two one!
I hear a high-howling, blood-curdling scream echo from far down the hall beyond the closed double doors of the Emergency Room.
12:10 p.m.
The doctor lifts the sheet and takes a peek underneath.
Oh my, he says, this cant be good.
12:09 p.m.
So the doctor checks his chart, Edward. What seems to be the problem today?
Eddie speaks, but at the moment nothing that walks on two legs can hear his reply.
Somewhere outside the emergency room, dogs begin to bark.
We find a wheelchair and rush Eddie into the ER. He is screaming and curled into a tiny ball.
The nurses bump Eddie to the head of the line and take him back first. Its the smell. Jimmy wrinkles his nose in odiferous distaste and espouses poetically, It seems the bovine fecal matter has struck the automated rotary oscillator.
I concur.
11:45 a.m.
The bull spies Eddies red handkerchief dangling from his hip pocket lolling lazily in the gently wafting zephyr. It reminds him of days gone by and he relives his glory days one last time.
Eddie rises to all fours.
Guys? I cant see a thing for all this
We grimace as Eddie flies without the benefit of wings.
11:43:30 a.m.
Help me!
Eddie might have made it to the fence were it not for the cow patties.
He steps.
There follows a heavy wet squishing sound and Eddie yelps in surprise, Whoopsie Daisy!
Eddies feet go up. His face goes down. The resulting double somersault scores a 9.5 if this were Olympic gymnastics.
But its not.
11:41 a.m.
We watch in horror as a pair of long, mournful howls shatter the tranquil silence of the pasture, first from the bull as it begins to buck and jump around, snorting angrily, and then from Eddie as he realizes his egregious error.
The enraged bull shakes its massive horned head and sights in on the first sign of movement, Eddie running frantically away, the red handkerchief dangling from his back pocket.
11:40 a.m.
Thats odd, Eddie says. Its not working.
Eddie squeezes and yanks down hard.
11:37 a.m.
Frowning Eddie squats and pokes around. Ahh, there it is, he says and wipes off his hands. He stuffs the red handkerchief in his back pocket.
11:35 a.m.
Do we tell him his cows actually a bull? Jimmy asks as Eddie hops the fence to trot off down the pasture.
Nah, I reply. Some things are best found out by ones self.
11:30 a.m.
Check this out, Eddie says pointing, during our recent visit to the farm.
We look.
Ever milk a cow?

As much as I love it, and as often as I've made it, I am inconsistent when I make a traditional lasagna. It's either too runny and wet, or the top layer of noodles is too browned, or it's too slippery and slidey, and it falls apart when pulled out of the pan, and all the insides squish out when touched by a fork. I was actually kind of surprised to see that I've only blogged this dish once before, my Luscious Lobster Lasagna (which I'd forgotten entirely about: hence – why I keep this digital diary of my digestibles), a lovely white lasagna crafted almost exclusively outdoors on Little Red, our faithful electric Meco grill. But its success is misleading; I've made dozens of lasagnas and have more often than not been dissatisfied with the results. So today I determined to try again, using the sublime image of Stefan's Lasagne alla Bolognese as my inspiration. Although I altered the recipe somewhat, his basic principles were very practical, and the top picture — the one that caught my attention — gave me some ideas. I'd always brought all my fillings straight out to the edge of the pan – what if I didn't? I'd never used bechamel – why not? And what if I made my sauce as "dry" as possible? The result: a rich tomato meat filling studded with both creamy and stretchy cheese, layered with tender spinach pasta, covered with a fluffy baked pillow topping. Wow.
Spinach Lasagne alla Bolognese
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 thick slices of bacon, roughly chopped
1 can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1 tbs tomato puree
1/4 cup marsala wine
1 carrot
1 celery stalk
1/2 cup minced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig rosemary
fresh sheets of spinach pasta
10 oz ricotta cheese
6oz fresh mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbs butter
2 tbs flour
2 cups milk
fresh ground nutmeg, sea salt, crushed black pepper, granulated garlic, EVOO
A bolognese sauce is basically a meat sauce, traditionally made with carrot, onion, veal, pancetta, and broth, to which was later added tomato and cream. Today's versions are as myriad as pasta shapes, but the ragu's basic component is still meat. Starting with chopped bacon, fried to barely crisp on the edges, I add my mirepoix and minced garlic, along with my sprig of rosemary to scent the dish. I sauté everything over medium-high heat until just sweated but not yet browned.
I've seasoned my ground meats with salt and pepper, and have very roughly pulled them apart, handling it as loosely and little as possible. I want large bites of meat in my sauce – not a grainy, uniform sludge – and little meat-wads are just the trick. I let the meat sear completely on one side before I turn it over to sear on the other side. This released the least amount of liquid, allowing the meat to brown and not steam. Thanks, Stefan – this was a simple but good trick.
I already see far less liquid in this pan than I usually do at this point, which is perfect. When the meat is nicely browned on both sides, I add my splash of marsala (I had no other red wine in the house — THE HORROR!! — but this substitution prevented me from having to add any sugar to the sauce, so it worked very well), which I let evaporate into the meat before…
… I add my tomato puree, which I blend well with everything and let simmer for a moment.
Finally, I add my crushed tomatoes, removing my stem of rosemary (which has done its job flavoring the sauce already), and I set this over low heat to simmer for the next 30-45 minutes, or until I'm ready to assemble the lasagna. During this time, the sauce thickens beautifully, so much so that dragging a spoon through parts its seas for several moments before it oozes back together again. In fact, when the husbandman came by to taste, I had to admonish him to redistribute the sauce to cover the whole base of the pan, so it wouldn't burn anyway by virtue of too thin a coating. I'm thinking this "drier" sauce will prevent my lasagna's innards from leaching out when pressed by a fork.
Living in Boston means shopping in the North End, our Little Italy. I've enjoyed DePasquale's fresh pasta before, as we did again in this dish. This time I had a little trouble teasing the sheets apart, but that's because the package defrosted in a plastic bag on my way home on the train, so it got a little – er – sweaty. Still, it was worth the effort.
I line an 8×8″ pan with this special foil-on-one-side/parchment-paper-on-the-other, which I must say worked like a charm. I assemble my cheeses, and cut my pasta sheets to shape so they'll fit the pan just so.
To make the lasagna, I start with some sauce, a few dollops of ricotta cheese, a few pieces of fresh mozzarella, and some shredded parmesan. Note how I'm not bringing the ingredients all the way out to the edge of the pan – which I usually do. My thought is that the casserole will hold together more effectively if I give the ingredients some room to spread out on their own. (Spoiler alert: I was right!) I lay a sheet of pasta on top, then repeat the process 4 times, ending with a top layer of pasta. This is the point to which this picture of Stefan's was taken – which is why it looks so clean (and so damn delicious!)
The final "ingredient" is a bechamel sauce, which is essentially milk, flour and butter. Stefan's recipe did not call for ricotta or mozzarella, but instead for bechamel on each layer; I had the cheeses, and very little milk in the house, so I split the difference by cheesing up the inner layers and making just enough bechamel to cover the top of my dish.
Start by melting the butter, then adding the flour and whisking/cooking until it thickens and turns a golden tan color — about 3 minutes.
Finish by whisking in the milk gradually, allowing it to thicken with the roux. I also add some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and some of my parmesan cheese (which, technically, transforms this bechamel into a mornay sauce, just FYI). When the sauce is uniformly thick and fluffy…
… I pour it over the top layer of pasta on my lasagna, covering it completely. The final joy is adding the last of my grated parm over the top, before throwing the dish into a 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbling at the edges and nicely browned on top…
Like so. As hard as it is to do, I wait 15 minutes before cutting into this beauty, which allows everything to coalesce. I kill the time by whipping up a quick garlic bread.
Sheer perfection! My lasagna cuts easily, holding its shape, showing off its perfect, tender layers of pasta sandwiching a hearty, rich meat sauce and gooey, creamy cheese.
I don't usually take pictures with my mouth full, but I had to show off how the structure of this deliciousness held together. Leaving a wee margin of unadorned pasta along each side of the dish, using a very thick, non-runny sauce, and adding the adhesive properties of the bechamel were the right tricks to make this lasagna a true delight! Each bite was meaty and cheese in equal measure; the pasta was perfectly al dente and redolent of spinach, and the snappiness of a few sprigs of green onion for garnish added just the right brightness to the meal. Lolita has finally conquered lasanga! Yay for me!

GREER — "Happy Sequestration Day" U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham jokingly declared here Friday, drawing a round of nervous laughs.
More coverage
Go to our Politics page for the latest political news.
"To me, sequestration in Latin means 'dumb politics.' "
Friday marked the official launch of sequestration, $85 billion in domestic and military spending cuts that lawmakers from both parties once said would be avoided through negotiation.
Thus far, negotiations have failed.
But Graham, a Seneca Republican and South Carolina's senior senator, sounded an optimistic note Friday as he marked the groundbreaking for a new Upstate inland port project.
"How do we get out of this mess? The same way the country has survived and thrived for the last 200 years, finding common ground. Trying to find a way to make everybody a winner instead of everybody a loser."
He continued, "America is one big deal away from dominating the 21st century. I intend to do everything I can to make that big deal a reality."
Responding to a report that the sequester could threaten deepening of the Port of Charleston, Graham acknowledged that it could, along with other infrastructure projects across the country.
Graham offered few specifics on what a "big deal" would include, beyond making the tax code more efficient to generate more revenue to pay down debt, along with reforming entitlements.
And Graham said his "common ground" to address sequestration won't include voting to raise taxes, a key point for President Barack Obama and Democrats.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was originally scheduled to attend the Upstate groundbreaking but canceled, citing the expense of traveling to South Carolina.
"Some of this is theater, some of this is real," Graham said when asked about LaHood's decision.
Graham's junior GOP colleague, new U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of North Charleston, said the most likely short-term resolution to the sequester is through a continuing resolution in the U.S. House.
That scenario could provide a vehicle to reduce spending to sequestration levels but the flexibility to "use a scalpel as opposed to a knife to make sure that the cuts are the smartest they can be," Scott said.
"The fact that we have people caught in the cross hairs is a major problem that can be solved with some flexibility."

Logic, reason and fact do not supersede human nature. Ignorance reigns without justice.
Am I reading this correctly in that we won't be able to visit each area of the world with one character?
With MMOs still having an initial box price the capacity to try new MMOs that arise deminishes if you already have a set of games that you play. While I'm sure the game will have a fan base and has the possibility of being a great game, I just cannot devote any time or resources on a game that restricts my access of travel throughout the world of Tamriel. It's sad, but I don't want to have to create three characters and maintain those alts while also playing other games (both MMO and not) along with my other daily activities.
This is a game I'll probably pass on, just on personal preference (or until the box drops significantly in price to try out the free month). I'm just not interested in supporting a game that restricts me in exploratory ways, especially when that was what made the single player games so much fun to play for me. Hope others find it enjoyable when it comes out; it might have change my mind when the box does indeed drop in price for me to try it out myself.
When faced with strife or discontent, the true nature of a man is brought forth. It is then when we see the character of the individual. It is then we are able to tell if he is mature enough to grin and bare it, or subject his fellow man to his complaints and woes.

I wish they would've originally created the setting without so much focus on the war. There would still be 3 factions; Breton Merchant Lord, Nord High King and High Elf Queen - but they would be like 3 groups (or houses) fighting over the ruby throne. This way players would have a choice on which side they joined and we could explore all of Tamreil.
I would think freedom of exploration and faction choice would be a common TES fan's expectation. I wonder if they even asked or cared how fans would view the limitations. There is nothing we or the developers could do about it now. Maybe after release if ESO does poorly, they'll release an expansion that would open things up but that's only a hope.Funniest part is when Frior said that he wanted to please both TES fans and MMO players when in fact they are the same people (according to the polls I've seen). TES already appealed to both sides but instead of making a TES game he decided to remake his vision of DAoC2.

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

i enjoy TES, rpgs and mmos,as well as fps, turn based, etc.....soo ummm what?

Sure those polls, there was also one floating around on the ESO forums. I still am willing to bet that the trend would be similar if it was on a large scale. Most MMO players also play TES games because both are on the computer. TES games do well, therefore I would conclude that most MMO players are TES fans (although most TES fans are not MMO players because of the console variable).

If you like to gamble your money in that way so be it, but considering how dispersed the demographics are I do not believe the overlap is anywhere near as close as you think it is. Especially when you consider how much better the TES games sell on console for example, or the very reasons why players play mmos in the first place (you know that whole other player thing) versus a single player game. The point is, judging from inherently flawed polls is hilarious. Or do you want to take polls such as the one from Darthhater showing how awesome Swtor's cash shop is?

Until there is a sure way of knowing, I'll stick by the "inherently flawed polls" on this site and ESO. I believe the trend would be very similar - or at least a lot closer than what you're suggesting. It's not like there is a whole group of people who are totally separate not voting at all, except console users with no computer access. In large scale surveys they only need to tally 5% of the population to get the results (I believe it's around 5% but it's been a while since my sociological class).

Its not size, but where its being polled from that is the bias. You can take the same poll at either the DNC or RNC and end up with 2 diametrically opposed viewpoints. A poll taken here, or on the Bethesda boards is essentially a poll taken twice, since they are effectively the same source.

no i will not sign that whinny petition. if you don't like the game don't play it.
crying about it does you no good, especially at this point in development.

The demographic is gamers. For the poll to be same between here and ESO boards, they both had different results. Here there was about 85% both, 14% MMO only and 1% TES only. At the Bethesad boards it was 50% both, 5% MMO only and 45% TES only.

Signed, of course. The lack of real seamless openness may be a mayor reason for fail.
But, alas, after 2 years fighting in the beta of SWTOR for change, I learned studios are hell bent on THEIR VISION. They never listen. End of story.
So we gonna play another half assed MMO, one or two times through and then off to the next... :(

If the game world isn't seamless and they decided to make it seamless, then for starters, they'd have to redo a ton of artwork to accommodate the quicker loading times needed for a seamless world. Not going to happen.

If Zenimax had said that they wanted to make a new game out of the genre, like the transition of Warcraft into World of Warcraft it would be very true what you say, however they said that they wanted to bring everything we loved with Elder Scrolls and make it an MMO. They are also having second thoughts with pickpocketing. If only they added a penal system into the game they could solve most problems. In which you lose maybe 20 points of progress instead of 1 or 2 or that you level down half a level for trying to steal.
That would actually work fine within the game, especially if that experience was rewarded to the player you attempted to steal from.

About the pickpocketting thng hadn't heard that either, I'm fairly used to this stuff at this point now (been dealing with it since SWG). I'd expect this type of guidance to be coming from MMO experienced staff on the team. The MMO dev world is full of those who fear allowing players to have a direct ability to meddle into anothers game time. Which is an understandable view from a business perspective I guess, they have just taken it too far IMO. Your idea is a good one btw.

He mentions it in there, and I'm kind of bothered by that they are even having second thoughts that they were ready to admit to the public. However it's not written in stone yet so who know? Anyhow, I think they mention their vision with ESO in the interview with Firor but I'm not sure, might be somewhere else.

SCREW THI SPETITION! Make one for them to fix there HUGE mistake of not being able to enter oposing faction land! Like whast the point? For me this has made me second guess even looking at this game now since it takes away soooooo much from the actual experience itself of being a explorer and writing your own story. hell i might not even get ESO cuz of this stupid feature.

The factions have agreed to limit the conflict to a particular region - this in itself is unrealistic - name one war for an imperial throne which has been so strictly limited and focussed...?
... that's right, there isn't one...
There is no reason they cannot agree to allow visitors from other factions into their territories. For RP purposes - merely have all vendors shut off from visitors and unfriendly or disinterested guard reactions and hey presto - the dungeons and non-war-supporting questlines can be made available to everyone, and every region can be explored.
This would be no more unrealistic than such a remarkably civilised and limited war...

Welcome back to Monday Micro. Last week's Monday was lacking in microbiology factoids as I was at the New Zealand Microbiology Society's annual meeting*. This year it was at the University of Otago in Dunedin. Highlights for me were keynotes by Rob Knight (microbiomes and Next Gen Sequencing), Eric Ruben (TB) and Steven Wilhelm (cyanobacterial blooms). Tweets of some of the talks are here.
Highlights for me:
Finding that lots of people flush public toilets with their feet, that cyanobacteria are a bad food source "like ordering pizza and only eating the box"** and that "we are all accidents of history"***.
Moving on, Round 3 of the SciFund Challenge is in full swing so if you fancy supporting some microbiology projects Amy Truitt wants so study butterflies and their sexually transmitted diseases, Will Helenbrook is studying the effects of infectious diseases on Mantled howler monkeys and Andy MacDonald is working on Lyme disease.
* The slides for my talk (Fireflies and superbugs: when science and nature collide) are up on slideshare. I started my talk with my Meet the Lampyridae animation….

Some records have the ability to plunge the listener into some kind of alternate reality. Annique Monet's uber-psychedelic debut album 'Phantom Letters' will do that to you. It took a few notes for opening track "Salt, Veruca," (streaming) to hypnotize us with its haunting beginning: a simple electric piano part, whistles, a fake horn section and a droney verse slowly led us towards a celestial chorus, which was quickly fogotten - for good - in favor of a baroque, droney outro. The following track 'Voodoo', a grottesque and dissonant waltz, took us to a really weird (and scary) place: we saw the devil looking at us through the speakers, from Vienna. With a beautiful melody, the first few bars of "Nowhere" brought back some hope for a return to light, but the song didn't go anywhere - we should have expected it, considering the title. 'Relapse' delivered another waltz - a more subtle one - but filled to the brim with eerie and decadent melancholy. From its plodding intro, Turtlenecks in July resurrected the ghost of The Beatles' psychedelic pop, although sounding nothing like it, while in '52,' Greek mermeids lured us with the most ghostly of lithanies, asking us to join them - and drown. The following two songs on the record kept this beautifully absurd, elusive dream going, with noteworthy track "Unchange" closing the collection.
Although we often praise structure in songwriting (many songs here would benefit from more of it), there's very little structure in a dream - which is what this album is. In a scene that seems to have lost the imagination of its peak years, this is a record that will hopefully inspire other NYC artists to be more daring.
This is a preview of the new Deli charts - we are working on finalizing them by the end of 2013.

Friday, July 4, 2014
Ive always been proud that I was born in the same month as America. Flying the flag on this particular day is probably our most graphic sign of patriotism.
Many people hoist Old Glory 365 days a year. We do. In fact, you couldnt convince Jim Hill not to fly it after 25 years in the Air Force including, like a multitude of others, going to war for his country.
Remember the proliferation of flags after 9/11? They appeared everywhere, especially affixed to car windows. These are just some of the reasons we rejoice in saying Happy 238th to our country.
Tradition and history make worthy reflections today. For instance: why red, white and blue? Some original pundits contended it was a no-brainer, being the same colors as the Union Jack and what else would our Founding Fathers choose?
I like President Ronald Reagans words when, in 1986 he proclaimed The Year of the Flag, noting that: Red (is) for courage and readiness to sacrifice; white for pure intentions and high ideals; and blue for vigilance and justice.
The design of Betsy Ross original flag was the 13 red and white stripes, representing the original colonies one of which was, of course, South Carolina. The white stars on that flag were in a circle on the blue background so all the colonies appeared equal.
The Declaration of Independence was adopted on Thursday July 4, 1776 and contains 56 signatures. The oldest no surprise, was Benjamin Franklin, 70, of Pennsylvania.
The two youngest, at age 26, were both from South Carolina: Thomas Lynch Jr. and Edward Rutledge.
Ironic coincidence underscores presidential history on this date. Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was also the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.
Id heard the story of how we almost had the turkey Franklins choice as our national bird. He was outvoted by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson who opted for the bald eagle. What I hadnt heard before was Ole Bens assessment, quoted from a letter to his daughter on the latter fowl, that: He is a Bird of bad moral character. He does not get his Living honestly, citing his penchant for being too lazy to fish for himself and taking the catch from another bird. For in Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird, and withal a true original Native of America.
Three more peeks into history. Celebrations of The Fourth began as early as 1777, when in Philadelphia there was a parade, fireworks and a 13-shot cannon salute. After the final damage to the Liberty Bell in 1846, it is no longer struck, but is symbolically tapped 13 times on this date. And, 12 million Americans will consume about 155 million hot dogs this day, making it the biggest hot dog holiday of the year.
The Pledge of Allegiance was written 122 years ago by Francis Bellamy and has in its final version 31 words which are in fact a capsule of patriotism. Perhaps these words might be the most appropriate to inscribe on Americas birthday card:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Beard: Iconic Toledo comic book shop makes big moveWritten by Jim Beard | | email@example.com
After twenty-eight years selling funny books from its usual spot at Reynolds and Hill, JC's Comic Stop, one of Toledo's oldest comic shops, has not only made a physical move, but also changed its name. JC's Comics N' More will throw a Grand Re-Opening shindig on Tuesday, October 29th, complete with ribbon-cutting, grab-bags, and an appearance by members of the Grammy Award-nominated band Lamb of God.
"I felt that this was a good time for a re-branding of the business," said JC's owner, Jim Collins. "When I first opened my doors on September 3rd, 1985, comics were the main focus. Over the years it became more than just comics – the collectables market expanded with action figures, statues, t-shirts, bobbleheads and trading cards. With [recent] attention on the world of comics through TV and film, this was the prefect time for the move and name change. It gives me a chance to raise the bar and bring my shop into the 21st Century. The new JC's boasts the largest inventory of comics and pop collectables in the Tri-State region."
Along with its new address, 6725-DD W. Central Ave in Toledo, Collins has also given the new shop a sub-title of sorts: "Your Pop Culture Super-Store."
The big event on October 29th will include D. Randall Blythe and John Campbell of the four-time Grammy Award-nominated heavy metal band Lamb of God. "Mr. Blythe was in the news this past year for manslaughter changes stemming from a concert in 2010 in the Czech Republic," said Collins. "He was found not guilty earlier this year. Lamb of God is playing a concert in Detroit, Michigan at the Fillmore Theatre that night."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin at 4 pm and JC's Comics N' More will open afterwards. Collins noted that in addition to special sales that day, "grab-bags worth $28.00 or more will be given out with purchase of $28.00 or more." He has also invited customers via Facebook to come in costume to the event.

- Quark-Gluon-Plasma (1) (remove)
- Signatures of quark gluon plasma formation in high-energy heavy ion collisions : a critical review (1998)
- Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions offer the unique opportunity to probe highly excited dense nuclear matter under controlled laboratory conditions. The compelling driving force for such studies is the expectation that an entirely new form of matter may be created from such reactions. That form of matter, called the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), is the QCD analogue of the plasma phase of ordinary atomic matter. However, unlike such ordinary plasmas, the deconfined quanta of a QGP are not directly observable because of the fundamental confining property of the physical QCD vacuum. What is observable are hadronic and leptonic residues of the transient QGP state. There is a large variety of such individual probes.

Peoria, Ill.---Each of the Chicago Wolves last three visits to Peoria have ended in a shutout. This time, it was Chicago's turn to suffer the whitewash with a 3-0 loss Saturday night in an Illinois Lottery Cup contest at Carver Arena.
Goaltender Matt Climie stopped 21 of 23 shots for the Wolves (30-22-5-4), who lost for the seventh time in 10 games. Saturday's verdict was the first in those 10 games that wasn't decided by a one-goal margin.
Peoria (29-29-4-3) opened the scoring with defenseman Brent Regner's power-play goal at 10:41 of the first period. Regner launched a wrist shot from the right circle next to the boards. Climie (17-19-3) was squared up to meet the challenge, but the puck bounced off his glove into the goal.
The Rivermen pushed their lead to 2-0 at 9:43 of the third period as center T.J. Hensick held the puck below the goal line just to Climie's left. Adam Cracknell sliced down the slot between two Wolves defenders and scored when Hensick's pass bounced off a Wolves defender's stick and Cracknell's leg into the net.
Nesbitt notched an empty-net goal with 1:04 to play to clinch the game. Peoria goaltender Mike McKenna rejected 33 Wolves shots --- including 25 in the final two periods --- to pick up his third shutout of the year.
The Wolves return to Allstate Arena at 3 p.m. Sunday for an Amtrak Rivalry contest against Milwaukee that kicks off a four-game Spring Break homestand. For tickets, visit ChicagoWolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.
