] Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for

] universities, as well as scholarly articles available
] across the web. So far, I am pretty impressed. I do literature searches pretty much daily in my job, so more sites like this make my life much easier. I spend most of my time at Pubmed, but it is interesting to see what google catches that pubmed doesn't. I will definitly be keeping my eye on this. - Nano Google Scholar |

So I start to get excited about hockey season long before it ever begins. It happens about mid-July....I will be sitting there, and boom, all of a sudden I get a mad craving for a hockey game. (I guess I have a love for hockey in my genes). Hockey games are one of my favorite things to go to...there is nothing better than sitting in the stands (whether close to the rink or back at the top of the stadium, in the fear-of-heights-inducing seats), drinking a cold beer, surrounded by friends (and siblings) chanting "We want blood, we want blood", all the while hoping that the "kiss cam" doesn't land unsuspectingly on Tom and I (lets face it folks...that would just be akward:)). Thus, it saddens me greatly to hear that I might not get to have that experience this year. The owners and the players are having conflict over salary capping, and thus, there has been an NHL lockdown until further notice, and it isn't looking good. It is almost October 7th, the day that Nashville Preds were going to come down and play the Atlanta Thrashers...and that day will come and go with no hockey played. Last time this happened, in 1995, the lockdown came to an end in January...but it seems that they don't think that will happen this year. This lockdown could go on for more than year, which is just too much for me to think about now. Anyway, I just wanted to rant about how sucky this hockey season is going to be without any hockey. What is that hockey withdrawl helpline number again? -Nano |
