Hockey in the desert Ice hockey is a sport almost unheard of in the city of Tucson, Arizona. There is the local college team, the Wildcats, but aside from that you have to drive through the middle of a scorching desert to get to the nearest city with an ice rink. And then of course there is me. Hockey is a big hobby of mine, and sadly I was unfortunate enough to grow up in the middle of a desert where hockey is not a big part of the culture. But that wasn’t going to stop me. My goal was to get…

in texture. When frozen water expands and can cause tissue damage. When the food is thawed it will be mushy and soft because of the tissue damage. When frozen slowly larger crystals will appear and cause more tissue damage. When frozen quickly the ice…

you are using it. Now, for your ice-cream base. Remember, this is the fundamental mixture that you need to make a perfect ice cream. To make a perfect ice cream base: • The basic ratio to make a heavenly base is 2-8 yolks for 3 cups of dairy product. Adjust a number of egg yolks according to your desire. If you want a lighter base, decrease cream and yolks then put more milk. If you want a richer mixture, do the opposite. Yolks enhance the texture of your ice cream and act as an emulsifier…

she excitedly pulls us out of bed. This is her day. It belongs to no one else, her first solo ice skating competition. Preparing for this all important day has taken a great deal of work. Able to walk a balance beam at two, Christy takes to ice skating as quickly as she walks a balance beam. Before long we are involved in a world of group lessons, private lessons, ice pros, costumes, and ice shows. Thank goodness for the Zion Park District, five minutes away, and how lucky we are to…

History of Curling Speaking about curling it is notable that it is one of the world’s oldest team sports.

Snowboarding, skiing, hockey, and ice skating are all pretty common here in Idaho. Although I haven’t gone snowboarding or skiing, I have heard from almost everybody that a trip to do either would not be a waste of time. I can imagine what it would be like and I can’t wait for the day when…

triple loop, the feeling of the ghost cold air pushing against my face as I soar across the ice. The best of all though is the feeling of being on the open ice with no one else on it but you and the judges staring at you and an arena full of people chanting your name and screaming. That is what I thought my life was going to be like, but boy was I wrong, although that is exactly my life on the ice. My life on the ice is probably the only thing I really truly love with all my heart. That and my…

Observations In step one an ice bath was prepared. Then in step two, a pipette was used to measure 1 mL of concentrated nitric acid into a 10 mL graduated cylinder. The concentrated nitric acid was placed into a reaction tube and clamped in the water bath. In step four, 1 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added slowly to the traction tube with nitric acid. Then the mixture was left to sit in the ice water bath for at least five minutes. A small plastic bag was filled with ice and a towel was…

the Period of snowball earth, the carbon dioxide which accumulated from global volcanic eruptions that was able to penetrate through the ice, which has little impact on the temperature. The large volume of carbon dioxide build over time would have easily led to the greenhouse effect, raising the temperature of the earth which became the main mechanism to melt the ice as temperature increased…

unlocked the door, and they both slipped in. After the salty sea air, the familiar dusty hints of menthol, licorice and sulfur greeted them. With a confident step, Asa flicked on the lights, and flung his boater across the room where it landed on the ice cream counter. Although he tried to tame his curls into waves with hair oil, the high humidity made them pop out all over his head. She was filled with pride as she watched Asa’s eyes sweep over his drug store domains. The walls were covered…
