I want to share an inspiring story I just heard from one of our members, Mark Beale. Enjoy!
Bruce Stam and I are two
landscape painters from opposite sides of the country who gravitated to each
other's work after seeing it posted in the Member's Gallery on Artist Daily.
Bruce is in Phoenix, AZ and
I am in Charleston, SC. We are both landscape painters, but our work differs greatly because we focus on our own geographic region. Bruce paints the Southwest while I paint the Southeast. Both of us work in oil, but stylistically I lean
toward tonalism and Bruce leans toward impressionism.
Bruce and I began posting comments on each other's landscape paintings on the website and then
began corresponding by email. Through Artist Daily we can instantly see what
the other is working on and comment on it. We all need support from others who
understand the trials and tribulations of being a painter. In addition to positive support, we frequently discuss
techniques as well. Bruce has given me advice on improving the photographs of
my work. In the past, he has asked for my opinion on particular compositions he is working on.
This type of feedback is helpful since so
much of painting is a solitary activity. As a teacher once told me, "you shouldn't paint in a vacuum."
If it weren't for Artist Daily,
Bruce and I probably would never have crossed paths. I feel fortunate to be in Charleston where artists
are very supportive of each other, but I'm told this isn't the case everywhere. I
can imagine Artist Daily serving a very important role for artists in more
remote areas or for the solitary painter with little in-person feedback.
I check the site at least
once a day to see what Bruce or others will post next. And with more than
100,000 images from artists around the world, I always find something that
catches my attention.

Red, white & local at South Durham market
When the British sought to collect ever more taxes from the colonies, it was agriculture that allowed the American colonists the freedom to protest and, ultimately, declare independence. As an agrarian-dominated society with plentiful land resources, America was at least able to feed its citizens throughout their multiyear fight for self-government.
The small family farms that comprise the South Durham Farmers' Market continue that long American tradition of working the land and providing sustenance to their families and community. Our nation's ability to grow its own food has resulted in a positive agricultural trade balance for more than 50 years, helping to ensure the safety and stability of our food supply.
However, since our Revolutionary War days, we have become increasingly removed from the processes that stock our grocery shelves: We have gone from 90 percent of the population living on a farm or plantation to only 2 percent. In North Carolina, the number of farms has steadily decreased from more than 300,000 in 1950 to fewer than 50,000 today. Most of the decrease in farms is certainly due to a shift from subsistence farms to larger, more mechanized operations, but there is also less cropland in production, much of it returning to pine forest.
Despite all of these trends, the number of farmers' markets nationwide has risen by 62 percent over the past five years. North Carolina is tied for ninth place with Iowa for number of markets. I am optimistic that this growth signals a rising interest in local food, and an enduring return to our nation's farming roots.
Managing the South Durham Farmers' Market has given me reason to hope. While we welcome both century-old farms and farms in their first year of production, I would guess that almost a third of our agricultural vendors are in their 20s and 30s—young compared to the national average of 57 years old for farmers. Our farmers, young and old, possess many of the characteristics that we like to think of as quintessentially American: hardworking, resourceful, daring, and hopeful.
These farmers, like many across North Carolina, have moved away from growing homogenous cash crops, like tobacco, in favor of crop diversification and the use of traditional methods of agriculture that would be recognizable to our Founding Fathers. The consequent wide variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables is plain to see at the market.
Independence Day is a time to celebrate our freedom and achievements as a nation. To observe the occasion, I encourage you to enjoy a very American meal of juicy burgers with ripe tomato slices, sweet corn on the cob, crisp coleslaw, and peach pie, all grown and raised in the 12th state to ratify the Constitution. Happy Fourth of July!
Elizabeth Zander is market manager for the South Durham Farmers' Market, open 8 a.m.to noon each Saturday and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. each Wednesday at Greenwood Commons Shopping Center, 5410 NC Highway 55.

What I wouldn't give to have one of these antique slot machines sitting amongst my Victorian antiques in the parlor. I'm in the process of selling my ca. 1999 pool table whose removal will open a new swath of floor real estate for Victorian antiques!
If I wanted antique slot machines to take some of that space, I'd need to be prepared to spend between $54,000 and $108,000, which is the expected price range for the sale of this one according to governmentauction.com.
Slot Machine History
Sittman and Pitt invented a five drum gambling machine in 1891 that represented a deck of 50 cards due to the popularity of poker at the time. It is considered the precursor to modern gambling machines. When a customer won on these machines, they may have been offered a cigar or beer as payment, but that was obviously awarded by a human.
Charles Fey provided the revolutionary changes to the slot machine design that provided for automatic payment by the machine itself by employing 3 drums instead of 5, greatly reducing the number of winning permutations. This was the famous Liberty Bell model which included a cracked Liberty Bell as one of the images in the reels.
According to Slot Machine Resource:
There are some who say he invented the first mechanical slot machine in 1887, four years BEFORE Sittman and Pitt's machine hit the bars of New York. There are others who state that Fey conceived his innovation in 1895, four years AFTER Sittman and Pitt's machine. It is the year 1895 however, that seems to prove more popular with gambling history enthusiasts. Regardless of the chronology, Fey's invention was revolutionary.
The Caille Eclipse will be sold today starting at $10,000. Judging from other machines I've Googled, it is probably from 1898-1907.

As five Democrats jockey for an open seat in Montgomery County's 5th council district, each will try to make his case to voters in a district that one longtime county political observer believes is "wide open."
School board member Christopher S. Barclay, Del. Tom Hucker, and activists Evan Glass, Terrill North and Jeffrey Thames will compete to win the Democratic primary on June 24 for the right to represent the eastern Montgomery district that includes Burtonsville, Takoma Park and parts of Silver Spring. No Republicans filed in the race.
The winner will replace Councilwoman Cherri Branson (D), who was appointed in January to serve the remainder of the term held by Valerie Ervin. Ervin had represented the district since 2006 but resigned in January to take a job as the executive director of the New York-based nonprofit Center for Working Families.
Branson took the District 5 seat promising not to run for the position.
Former Montgomery County Planning Board chairman Gus Bauman, who lives in Silver Spring and has followed Montgomery politics for 40 years, said he believes the race is "wide open."
The district's lines were redrawn in 2012 and it is a different district than the one Ervin was elected to, he said.
The combination of a large field of candidates in a redrawn district with no incumbent leads Bauman to believe anyone could come out of the primary.
"There is no front-runner," he said.
Hucker, who lives in Silver Spring, has served in the House of Delegates since 2007, and the fact that he's been on the ballot before in part of the district will help him, Bauman said.
But he noted that Barclay, of Takoma Park, also has been on the ballot before, and Glass, of Silver Spring, has been running the longest and getting his organization in place.
He also wondered how moving the primary date from September to June will affect voter turnout.
All five candidates are liberal Democrats running in a liberal district, he said.
Ultimately, Bauman said, the race will come down to which candidate can connect with the most voters and get them to come out on election day.
"How are they going to distinguish themselves from each other?" Bauman said.
Hucker, a delegate from District 20, said he believes his work during eight years in the House will help prepare him for a spot on the council.
He said District 5 needs strong representation to help its residents address their needs and concerns.
"I think I'm the best person in the field to do that on Day One because of my legislative experience," he said."
Glass, the chair of the Silver Spring Citizens Advisory Board, said he's a community leader who has been immersed in local issues for the past decade, which won't change no matter who gets in the race.
He said he's excited about the conversation the community will be able to have about its future as the campaign moves on.
Thames, of Silver Spring, noted that he'd been the first candidate to file in the race, and said he'd decided to enter the race in October, before Ervin resigned.
Thames said he'll continue the work he's been doing despite Hucker's entry into the race.
"I'll leave all the political jockeying to the professional politicians," Thames said.
Barclay said the financial resources and familiarity as an elected official that Hucker brings make him the favorite in the race, but said his own experience as a member of the county's Board of Education would give him an advantage as well.
Being in schools has often helped him see things that are happening in the county before they might be visible to others, Barclay said.
He predicted the District 5 race will probably be the most heated of council races.
North, of Takoma Park, predicted the race will turn on canvassing and engaging voters, and which candidate can most effectively turn out their supporters for the primary.
"I think the winner of the race is going to be the one who works the hardest," he said.
All five candidates have records and are all progressives on some level, North said.
Still, he thinks each candidate has different advantages that voters will have to weigh.
"People will be presented with real choices," he said.

NVIDIA release NV_command_list
With the recent release of 347.88 drivers, NVIDIA adds official support for the NV_command_list extension. This extension has already been disclosed at last year's SIGGRAPH ASIA and just days ago at the GPU Technology Conference 2015. The GTC presentation highlights the various benefits of the extension and the new possibilities it allows. Its primary goal is to allow current OpenGL applications to leverage the hardware to its full degree by providing the quickest possible path through the driver and benefit from future graphics API trends today. When adopting new concepts such as pipeline state objects and command buffers in current OpenGL applications, developers can also familiarize themselves with these modern software approaches and the implications and possibilities they have on their software architecture. However its feature set goes beyond what other graphics APIs are offering by enhancing the draw indirect mechanism with a flexible and extensible token-based command buffer approach. The spec can be found at the NVIDIA developer site and will be posted to the OpenGL registry soon. Sample code is provided.
CL3VER release 3.0 with WebGL GPU based real-time lightmap rendering
CL3VER, the cloud based platform for interactive 3D presentations, releases CL3VER 3.0, the new generation of the platform dedicated to engineers, architects, and other design professionals. 3.0 a much improved version of the CL3VER platform that includes WebGL GPU-based real-time lightmap technology, V-ray material support and a new scene sharing system that will speed up the production workflow for WebGL based interactive 3D presentations.

Redefining the shading languages ecosystem with SPIR-V
G-Truc Creation has posted an excellent and well balanced overview of SPIR-V – The first open standard intermediate language for parallel compute and graphics. "I am looking forward to the shading language revolution that SPIR-V will lead to, one step at a time!" sums up Christophe Riccio.
An Early Look at WebGL 2
Mozilla is introducing a preview of WebGL 2, which is still under development by the WebGL working group. WebGL 2 is based on OpenGL ES 3.0, and brings with it many improvements and additions to help developers create stunning visuals on the Web. WebGL 2 will raise many restrictions and add new capabilities compared to WebGL 1. For example, while WebGL 1 only required support for being able to render using 8 textures at a time, WebGL 2 raises this minimum limit to 32.

Lucille B. Keck, 87, formerly of Columbia City, died Friday, Jan. 21, 2011 at Lee Memorial Hospital in Lehigh Acres, Fla. after a lengthy battle with pneumonia and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
She was born Dec. 12, 1923 in Deadwood, S.D., a daughter of Glen L. and Bertha E. (Winckler) Witmer. When Lucille was four years old, her family moved to Indiana. She attended Washington Township School in Noble County, Etna School and graduated from North Webster High School in 1943.
COLUMBIA CITY — The condition of a Leesburg man injured in a Friday afternoon crash at Lincolnway and U.S. 30 remains a mystery.
Police say Matthew L. Vermillion, 44, disregarded a traffic signal which caused a two-car collision at about 2:15 p.m. Friday.
As a result of the crash, Vermillion was ejected onto the pavement of U.S. 30 in sub-freezing temperatures and was later transported to Fort Wayne by Samaritan, a Parkview Hospital-based rescue helicopter.
Parkview Hospital did not have Vermillion listed in its patient information data base.
COLUMBIA CITY — The Columbia City Common Council will hear a report on erosion at Morsches Park at its regular meeting tonight.
Gene Haskins of the Whitley County Soil and Water Conservation District is scheduled to deliver his annual storm water report to the council.
In his presentation, Haskins will report that the Blue River in the park has been the subject of several studies to determine if there are solutions to the continued disintegration of the eastern bank and to seek ways to prevent further erosion parallel to the park's drive.
Summer league registration
Registration for summer league play is open now. Parents can register their child for teams from T-ball through Babe Ruth from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays at the parks office located in Morsches Park. There are two Saturday registration days, Feb. 19, 9 to 11 a.m.; and Feb. 26, 2 to 4 p.m. at the park.
Cost for the instructional league is $20. Cost is $40 for T-ball and lob ball and $80 for minor, major and Babe Ruth leagues. Costs have increased to cover the expense of upgraded uniforms for both programs, and the addition of more games.
COLUMBIA CITY — There are some big changes coming this season for the Columbia City park department's summer baseball/softball program.
The summer program has developed a partnership with high school baseball and softball coaches, much as they have done with its JFL program.
With that partnership comes some changes.
The biggest change is the development of baseball and softball boards to oversee the operation of both programs. Each league will also have a representative.
David A. Benbenek, 67, of Fort Wayne, passed away Friday, Jan. 21, 2011, at Parkview North Hospital. Born in Evansville, he was a son of John and Ruth Benbenek. He was a retired Journeyman, and a member of the Local 20 Sheet Metal Workers.
William J. "Bill" Kocher, 72 of Huntington, passed away at 2:55 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21, 2011 at his home. He graduated from West Rock Creek High School. He worked as a Line Operator at International Harvester/ Navistar, retiring May 31, 1996, and at Erie Department Store until they closed. He was a member of Etna Avenue Wesleyan Church.
Born Sept. 28, 1938 in Huntington County, he was a son of Paul D. and Edna L. (Veilhauer) Kocher.
Gail R. Bowman, 91, of Pierceton, IN passed away at 8:55 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21, 2011 at Kosciusko Community Hospital in Warsaw. He was born Sept. 1, 1919 in Decatur, to Charles A. and Velma O. (Lenhart) Bowman.
He was married to Betty L. Weicht who preceded him in death. He was a World War II Navy Veteran.
Survivors include a son, Samuel E. Bowman; and a brother, Jim Bowman.
Lee J. "Joe" Perry, 87, of Columbia City, died at 11:03 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011 at Canterbury Nursing & Rehab, Fort Wayne where he had been a resident for the past year.
He was born Jan. 22, 1924 in McKinley Township, Taylor County, Wisconsin a son of Lee J. and Mayme B. (Smith) Perry Sr. In 1934 his family moved to Union Township, Whitley County. He completed his education at Coesse High School.
On Oct. 26, 1943 he was inducted in the United States Army Railroad Battalion, serving in the European Theater during World War II. He was honorably discharged Feb. 14, 1946.

Scams Are Getting Around The System
In Singapore, many consumers have the impression that products sold here are safe due to the strict regulations. However, contrary to popular belief, not all regulations are stringent. Ironically, scammers have made use of this thinking to con others.
Take the example of landbanking. In the UK, landbanking is considered as a form of Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) and the relevant administrative and legal setup is necessary to continue sale to the public. However, no landbanking company has done that and landbanking per se is not allowed. It makes one wonder why would a legitimate business avoid the regulations. The situation here is different. Landbanking activities are not regulated and roadshows and advertisements are a common sight. Sadly, UK media reports about how landbanking companies have been having a field day in Singapore when their activities are banned in the UK have surfaced. Recently, one prominent firm have been placed under the MAS Investor's Alert List.
Another scam, this time focusing on gold have also went under the radar. This scam sells you gold with a high mark-up, as high as 20%, and promises to give you a periodic payout and buy back the gold at the initial transaction price. Again, there is no legislation to regulate. I stand to be corrected, but it seems that the investment regulations in Singapore do not cover physical assets, eg, land, gold. And kudos to the scammers, they seemed to have realized this and are now proactively emphasizing that they are not offering an 'investment' but offering a 'product' to further 'protect' themselves from the authorities.
Scammers are always ahead of the authorities, that this why new legislation always comes after something blows up. At the end of the day, investors have to remember the age old axiom – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

A resident from the area posted a video on youtube to show so of what really ended up in the ground.
Doesn't the term "COP" mean Constable on Patrol from years and years ago?
I think it's theft by deception. He was paid over $5000.00 in sick time while he was working his other jobs.
I would think it is theft by deception, either by trying to conform to the contract they have with the town by deceiving it to appear that it conforms to the law, or by aiding the town in collecting penalties which it was not due because they did not test their equipment in a specified period.
How about just increase the yellow light .25 sec for every 10 mph for safety and do away with the cameras?
Manchester Twp is in Ocean County, at least it was an hour ago when I went through there.
Why not make a requirement to add a quarter second to the existing 1 second yellow light for each 10 mph where there is a camera, or to all lights for that matter? 1 second per 10 mph is just a minimum requirement, isn't it?
On drug court, I know people (because they got caught with some pot) that had to attend the programs and they run about 18 - 24 months. They had to reside in a group home, attend NA or AA meetings, meet with probation officers, have drug screenings. Someone pays for all that for the time they are in the program, as well as all the public employees (mostly L.E.), including courts, to support the operation. And the jails will still be full with someone because politically connected wardens still need a job.
On privatizing functions, if you sell your assets like the garbage trucks, in a few years you will see no savings as the bidders know that you will not go out and buy millions of dollars of new garbage trucks and re-hire people that you laid off, and the bid rigging will begin. It has happened in the past with school busing a few years ago. Property taxes will not go down for the department you just abolished, but you will have to pay a subscription to have your trash picked up by someone, usually around $400.00 a year. You don't really think your taxes are going down as much as that new service fee, do you?
On consolidation, that will only work if you get rid of all the duplicate supervisors and administrators. Some working slug still has to go out in the field and do the work. But there should only be 21 school districts in NJ, and only 21 school superintendents. And maybe if you consolidate all those districts you rid yourself of Abbot Districts because they will be absorbed. But I doubt your taxes go down.
On user fees, what are they crazy? That's what I pay taxes for. Get rid of double dippers. Do away with elected and appointed officials getting healthcare, pensions and other benefits. Make it so that the time (years) the politician was in office does not count towards his pension when he gets hired by his cronies when he is not re-elected and that he can't "buy back" that time.

Don't despair just because the Canucks didn't win this game. In fact, it's good that they didn't. Hear me out: In 2010, the Canucks were blown out by a Central Division team — the Chicago Blackhawks, in a 7-1 debacle — then went on to face the Phoenix Coyotes in their next game. They played much better, but still lost. But then they got their act together and immediately went on a run that culminated in a Stanley Cup Final appearance!
Wouldn't you know it, just two nights ago the Canucks were blown out by another Central Division team — the Detroit Red Wings, 8-3. And here they are in their next game, versus the Phoenix Coyotes. Again, they lost. But this can only mean that history is repeating itself and they're definitely going on another Cup run this spring. There's no other conclusion to reach. Rejoice, friends, just as I did when I watched this game!
Both teams lost on Sunday night
(Two minutes left and twice they score
Calgary five and Phoenix four
And after one up three to two
Vancouver fails to follow through)
So of a win I want to write
After twenty they were behind
(With Phoenix first up on the board
Nucks watching while Chipchura scored
Next period they must forthwith
Direct the puck past Mister Smith)
Their scoring touch they need to find
'Twas not because they didn't try
(But scoring's what they failed to do
Until the Dogs were up by two
When at long last their number five
Kept Vancouver's hopes alive)
I find I'm hoping for a tie
So now beyond the final frame
(Where Cory had one dribble in
Before a goal by twin from twin
But one into the empty net
And any points they could forget)
The Coyotes won this hockey game
hmm…not a lot of fun, outside of the sedins and burrows hustling and bustling. i know the team is tired and there's a dearth of ride-side dmen but things are just not clicking on lines 2 thru 4. there was some good chemistry happening for a while and now it mostly gone. i suggest:
kesler, higgins, kassian
schroeder, hansen, raymond
lapierre, weise, booth
sure kassian was on for both goals but he's gonna shrivel and die on the 4th line. i think a little grooming is required. so much upside, yet he's warming pine so mr. can't-hit-the-broad-side-of-a-barn-yet-somehow-enjoys-hunting can perform his usual ineffective on-ice meanderings.
there are some great teams out there, for the canucks to keep up they will need kassian's full powers. he could be a real difference maker, now and for a good chunk of time. and he's gonna get nothing done playing with weise and lapierre. those guys just don't have the hands.
next to kesler is where kassian needs to be. let him learn in the heat of battle. can't do much worse than -2 anyhow so what's the harm?
I agree with you there was not a lot to like in lines 2-4 the past few games but switching Booth and Kassian is not the answer (imo). Kassian has been poor, particularly in his own end where he often fails to chip the puck out of the zone or to pass it to a team-mate. He has to be better before AV will promote him to the second line. Booth hasn't had any success but he does play hard on the boards and drives to the net.
The defensemen played terribly tonight. Most notable in my mind are Alberts, Tanev, and even Garrison.
Alberts is at fault for the Chipchura goal. It is Alberts' check that sets the pick on Lapierre, so Alberts should have identified that and rotated checks (to the puck carrier) when it happened.
Despite Garrison scoring the goal and having 5 shots, I think he had his worst defensive game on the year tonight. He mishandled the puck many, many times. When Schneider was pulled for the extra attacker late with under 2 mins left, Garrison couldn't hold the line with his backhand – that hurt.
Tanev also looked awful on some shifts: there was one where I counted three mistakes. It's great that Tanev a very steady guy, but it seemed like his relaxed approach led to him not respecting the speed of the Phoenix forechecker.
I disagree.
I thought Albert had a fantastic game and was the most solid defense man all night. Did you even watch the game or do you just base your opinion on past results that tsn has told you about?
Tanev was also fantastic again apart from one or two times in the 3rd.
Yeah, Tanev and Alberts were just about the best of the bunch last night.
I can't help but feel that this team has something fundamental wrong behind the blueline though. It's more than just a matter of guys rounding into form, or getting used to their partner. The whole defensive approach seems to be off. Defenders are too eager to get up ice before they've finished their own zone-work. The ability to clear the puck out of their own own end ought to be elementary, but they fail repeatedly. I know — and understand why — AV likes defensemen to join the rush, but not all of them, all the time surely? Alberts does better when he stays in his own end, Tanev, like Hamhuis, doesn't appear to have a natural desire to play in the other half of the rink either. Yet all of them are showing up on the other teams blueline more than they used to. No good. Won't end well.
I can understand that it's easy for you to make some antagonistic assumptions about me because (a) your opinion differs and (b) it would be convenient for a simpleton.
I actually might've changed my opinion on a point that I previously disagreed with! In this case though, I can't. The tripe you have replied with translates to "I disagree with your opinion, therefore I think you are stupid. Can you even say 'I Watched This Game'?"
The Canucks played much better tonight. The goals were due to defensive lapses, but Schneider should have had at least the last one.
However, the Canucks were fighting an uphill battle against the refs all night. The Daniel Sedin diving call was terrible – you could have argued that he deserved a penalty shot instead. Also, with the puck in the air, Antoine Vermette jumps for it.. and punches Burrows in the face mid flight. I'll bet the league doesn't even revue it.
I've been watching hockey for my whole life, and honestly, I don't think I've ever seen officiating this bad. It's not like there's a whole new set of rules to consider or anything… refs and linesmen are just so inconsistent nowadays, it baffles me. It seems like the first period of a game is spent finding out what the refs will and won't call tonight, the second period is spent trying to toe that line, and third period is spent complaining that the referees aren't following the rules they arbitrarily set in the first period.
It's not just the Canucks – every team seems to be upset. I distinctly remember the officiating being bad for both sides in the Chicago game, but watching other games, I'm seeing obvious calls missed, and weak calls against.
I agree about the bad ref-ing, especially the diving call on Daniel. How do you not fall down when someone trips you? But a little more scoring would have overcome the bad calls. I'm looking forward to our guys getting it together and playing like we know they can (Juice come back soon!).
I try to see the positives in everything Canucks in an effort to avoid being swept up into the flip-the-pool mentality of the band wagon jumpers but right now it is not possible.
The defence corps is a disaster. IMO AV is ruining Elder (who was an allstar defenceman 2 seasons ago) by forcing him to play on the wrong side to accomodate everybody else. When you have a guy who has that kind of potential, you make somebody else accomodate him – not the other way around. The Canucks already had Edler's partner in Tanev. Sure the kid is young and will make some mistakes, but to go out an sign another $4M d-man and give him and NTC without any idea of how is is going to work was completely uneccessairy. Alberts is usually very solid defensively and would make a great guy for the 3rd pair and Ballard has been excellent as well and would be a good 5/6 dman except he makes about $3M too much. The defence should look something like this: Bieksa/Hamius Edler/Tanev Alberts/Ballard (if he made closer to 1.5M) . Garisson was completely unneccessairy and now they are stuck with him. I would like to see Ballard stay with the Canucks but not with the contract he has.
Booth is a waste of ice and $4.25M, And because he is getting completely undeserved minutes on the 2nd line (if you can call Kesler-Higgins-Booth a 2nd line) Kassian is being wasted grinding out 4th line minutes. It would benefit Kassian more playing on a line with better players – even though he makes mistakes and has bad games he would be better off learning the game from Kesler instead of Lapierre.
Garrison, Ballard, Booth, and Luongo or Schnieder have to go this offseason, surely one of the Goalies can be traded, that leaves 3 guys (one with an NTC) with 2 compliance buyouts.
Alberts, Higgins, Lapierre, Raymond, and Malhotra are UFA's. Manny isnt coming back, Lapierre can be replaced, Higgins could be replaced but I wouldnt be upset if he stayed, Raymond is now showing too much promise to be let go and will probably stay for around the same money he is making now, and I believe Alberts would re-sign if he was gauarnteed a regular roster spot. Shroeder and Tanev are RFA's and are probably going to get a raise to the tune of $2.5M. Weiss is an RFA, and I dont htink he is worth keeping around.
Mike Gilles has an opportunity after this season to completely re-shape this team. I really hope he does because right now the team is a mess.
I dont understand how somebody can call a whole group of players over rated like that. Over rated compared to what? Take a look at other teams around the league and their defence, the Canucks defense is as good as any team in the league on most nights going back to the 08-09 season the Canucks have finished 7th, 13th, 1st, 4th, and this season they sit 11th in fewest goals against per game. Hamius and Tanev are solid stay at home defenseman and are definately keepers. Edler was a promising young defensman who has lost his way under AV. Remember that he was invited ot the all star game two years ago. He still has great potential but this constant blender of defensman has taken away some of his game. Bieksa , IMO, is not over rated. Some people like to hype him beyond his worth but I find its more the non-canucks fans who dont like his personality or his playing style that are the ones who say he is over rated. Going back to the 08-09 season he has played 288 games has recorded 137 points and scored 33 goals and is +41. Those are some solid numbers. They arent Weber/Chara/Kieth like numbers but they are still very solid. He brings a physical edge to the team but he is streaky in his play and has a habit of being a little too careless with the puck it's concerning but that's not a reason to replace him. Ballard has been a pleasant suprise this year, he has really re-created his game to be more relieble in his own end. He would make a solid #5 or #6 d-man but not for $4M+. Signing Garrison was a mistake, it wasnt necessairy – the Canucks didnt need him and they certainly didnt need another NTC on the blue line either.
I agree that there were a lot of defensive miscues in this game, but the reality is, if we had above average goaltending in this game, we would not have noticed it as much. I think the defence will come around, possibly when they stop the blender exercise (weren't they doing that at the end of last season as well?). What actually concerns me more is the power play. It continues to be sub-optimal. If the power play was clicking, we would notice the defensive miscues even less . The power play was not effective in the stanley cup final, and was terrible at the end of last season and the playoffs. Yes I realize that Daniel was away for part of that but there are going to be injuries to key players, we need to adapt better. So this begs the question, does Newell Brown need to be replaced? I guess I must be getting close to flipping the pool. Maybe a bout of yoga will help me more than it helped the Canucks? Do I really need special clothes Harrison?
Well, as long as the refs keep calling them like that, what would we do with a good power play unit?
Anyone else think that in the box score and game recap, the NHL should be forced to post the video clip of what actually happened next to each call?
I didn't see this game, but have read a lot of criticism of Alberts. Which of course was very predictable (and predicted by me in the comments of this blog and elsewhere) because the guy hasn't played NHL hockey for about a year.
I've posted this before, but it went ignored, so I will say it again: what is wrong with rotating players in and out of the lineup, especially older guys? Why do the top 12 forwards and top 6 defenseman have to play every game they are able to? In soccer it is quite common to dress different starting XIs from time to time, why would it automatically be seen as a "benching" or "doghouse" move to give a veteran defenseman a night off from time to time in the middle of the season, so as to keep other guys fresh? This is Vancouver — half the D-corps will be out by mid-March. It would be nice if the replacements (as long as they're keeping both Alberts and Barker up) aren't playing their first real action at the most critical point of the season.
I agree, but the counter argument is that 'every point counts'. In a shortened season, it's easier to fall out of a playoff spot than it is to climb back into one, so there's a sprint mentality. You just know if Burrows was a healthy scratch, the entire province would be either calling for AV's head, or that Burrows trade rumours would go crazy.
Last season, the only guy who got rotated out of the line up was Salo, but it really wouldn't be a big issue if they did it more often – especially with the defencemen. Barker deserves to play a few games, and Alberts hasn't looked out of place.
I always get a good laugh when people try to twist the Canucks name into something like 'Cajunks', 'Casucks', 'Cathugs'. It makes me seriously question the maturity and intelligence of the person who posted it. In a way I actually feel sorry for them becasue the highlight of their day is creating a very poor, unimaginative, and immature twist on a name for the sole purpose of trolling.
Their record is good right now, but I would say their level of play has been abysmal all year. I can't point to a game where I felt they played anywhere close to their potential.
It feels like they are coasting again this year, doing the exact same thing they did last year.
I am generally pretty calm about making roster changes, but I feel something has got to change on this team, something to shake them up a bit.
There has been a decent amount of player turn over the last few years, but the one thing that has stayed the same is the coach. The team has looked flat for the better part of two seasons. AV is a good coach, but I am really beginning to think his time is up.
What do you guys think?
I totally agree. It feels like they have been sleep walking through most games this year, and it felt like that most of last season too. After the loss to Boston, it's like they lost all their drive and determination. I have been and ardent supporter and defender of AV, but it appears he can't get his team to play hard for a full 60 anymore. I won't call for his head yet but something has to wake the Canucks up.
The thing that worries me the most is that Canucks didn't seem to be able to make a tape-to-tape pass often enough to save their lives, whether it is moving the puck out of their own zone or gaining the zone at the other end of the ice. Last night the puck was bouncing all around on the way from a Canuck player to another often ending up at one's skates rather than his stick. And then there were also many occasions when the puck did move from tape to tape, it's only because a Coyote player intercepted it.
To me that's what is most notably missing from this year's team compared to the previous editions. Last time I checked Canucks were still known to be a dominant puck possession team built on crisp passing and winning the puck battle along the boards. I might have seen a flash or two of those traits once in a blue moon this season, but that's about it — not enough to convince myself this is the Canucks team I have known for years.
One could argue a part of the reason for struggle last night was Phoenix's style of play, which is based on tight defence and ferocious backchek/forecheck to apply pressure while also forcing turnovers. Well, guess who's coming to town Saturday? That's right, the LA Kings who literally "suffocate" the opposition with their big AND fast skaters who can also pass and shoot with the best of 'em. When Kings are at the top of the games very few teams can keep up, not to mention getting the other team off of their game plan out of a pure frustration. That's how LA won the cup and it seems they're fully at it again now, riding on a 6-game winning streak.
Just so you know I hate Kings and their style of play because it takes away the joy of watching exciting end-to-end hockey, from the fan's point of view. But do I wish Canucks played like that?
You bet I do.

To better meet customer demand, American Airlines today launched a new large-jet service from Chicago to Albuquerque.
Beginning Aug. 1, the 76-seat American Eagle jets will fly from Chicago O-Hare International Airport to Albuquerque International Sunport.
"For the first time in American Airlines history we are offering large regional jet flying as an option," said Chuck Schubert, the company's vice president of network planning. "In addition to strengthening our longstanding partnership with Republic Airways, this is a strong step forward in the diversification of our fleet and an important enhancement from one of our key hubs."
American's fleet plan calls for the transitioning out of smaller regional aircraft such as ATRs and E-135s by the end of 2013. Deploying large regional jets such as the E-175 allows American to more effectively compete by offering customers more choices with the right-size aircraft to match market demand.

We just replaced all of the computers in the stake. I now need to scrub the hard drives on the old computers before turning them back in to the FM group.
I have downloaded the the two church eraser applications (16-bit and 32-bit). How do I use the tool? I assume I should use the 32-bit version since our computers were XP. Do I just scrub certain directories? Or am I supposed to scrub the entire drive - including the OS?

A 5-month-old child remained hospitalized in critical condition Monday after his father slammed him onto the floor out of anger when he wouldn't stop crying, Hanahan police said.
Hanahan police on Friday arrested Derek Allan Stilson, 23, of Murray Drive, Lt. Michael Fowler said. He was charged with infliction of great bodily injury upon a child, he said.
Police officers in an affidavit described Stilson angrily throwing the child onto the floor on Feb. 19. Stilson called 911 two days later because the child wasn't acting normally, the affidavit states.
In a call placed to 911 on Thursday, Stilson sought help for his son, who was struggling to breathe.
"I've never seen this before. ... Are they going to take him to a hospital or something?" Stilson asked dispatchers in a calm voice.
Paramedics transported the child to Medical University Hospital for treatment. Investigators looked to Stilson when doctors learned that the boy had a fractured skull, blood behind his retinas and swelling on his brain, Fowler said.
The child has been placed in protective custody, Fowler said.
A judge on Saturday set Stilson's bail at $250,000, Fowler said. He is being held at the Berkeley County jail, he said.
Stilson's Facebook page states that he is a sales agent at a telemarketing firm and works at a pizza business.

It was a great class, Allison. I feel that much more friendly with FMQ now, and am planning to spend some time with the half-used sandwich I brought home! Totally a pleasure meeting you.

I'm most impressed by the free motion quilting backwards standing up part! My sister in law took your class, went home, and FMQ her first quilt. Pretty awesome, I say!!! Nice to see you again.
