Interesting that we deal with it through metaphors, and such diverse and vivid ones. <BR/><BR/>There's considerable energy contained in all three, which would be nice to have available for other uses.

I tend to look at it as having a wild beast on the end of a heavy chain.

I usually call it "fighting the puck", but only a hockey fan would understand that analogy.
