Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/1/2013 (1676 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Jets do not operate as a democracy. So, no matter how much politicking Ondrej Pavelec might or might not do, he doesn't officially get a vote on any goaltending matters.
Still, if the Jets netminder was polled as to how many of the 48 games he would like to start in the condensed 2013 season, his answer would be simple:
"If they ask me, I'm going to say '48,' " said Pavelec with a grin and a shrug Tuesday. "That's what I want to do, that's why I'm playing. It's always up to the coach, what he wants to do.
"I understand the situation. Coach is the boss. It's his responsibility how we are going to play. It's up to him. I never say anything if I don't play."
The Jets goaltending breakdown, specifically how many starts Pavelec makes and how much action Al Montoya sees, will be one of the critical storylines to monitor over the next few months.
If Pavelec is full value for the five-year, $19.5-million contract he signed last June, the Jets likely go from a team on the playoff bubble to one participating in the post-season for the first time in five years.
And if he struggles, the Jets will turn to Montoya -- a former New York Rangers first-round pick who is trying to re-establish himself as a No. 1 puck-stopper.
"I think Pav's a great goalie and I've come in here with the mindset to just prepare for my role, whatever it might be, to help this team win games," Montoya said. "And if that's on the bench, that's on the bench or whenever my number is called I'll be ready.
"Unfortunately, I've had some tough injuries. Now I feel great and it's about staying healthy because when I'm healthy and at the top of my game I feel almost unbeatable.
"It's about doing the right things in practice every single day. But I could go 30 games without a game here."
Or, maybe not.
As much as Pavelec became a fan favourite last year for being a battler while one glorious scoring chance against the Jets was followed by another, there were still some consistency issues and concerns about fatigue late in the season.
Case in point:
-- In his last five starts during the failed playoff push from March 26 to April 7, he surrendered 20 goals.
-- In his last 17 games, in which the Jets went 7-8-2, his save percentage fell below .900 10 times.
-- Pavelec was one of 22 NHL goalies who logged over 3,000 minutes of ice time last year, but of that crew his save percentage ranked 21st -- better only than Chicago's Corey Crawford (.903).
-- Countering all that, is this: Two of his four shutouts came after losses in which he surrendered five goals.
Jets brass must weigh whether Pavelec, who likes the workhorse role, is putting up the consistent numbers to be worthy of a good chunk of the starts.
"It's simple: If I'm not going to play good, I'm going to sit on the bench," said Pavelec. "It's the same for all players. If you're not playing good, you're not going to play. It's up to the coach to decide who is going to be in the net. All I can do is play as hard as I can and try my best and hopefully it's going to work."
Good point, that. Ultimately, Pavelec won't be judged by the personal statistics on the back of his hockey card but by something much bigger.
"My goal," said Pavelec, "is to help the team get to the playoffs. That's the first thing I want to do."

SOME numbers to peruse while debating how many starts Ondrej Pavelec should make for the Jets this season:
Last season 19 NHL goaltenders, including Pavelec, made over two thirds of their team's starts. Nashville's Pekka Rinne led that list with 72 starts.
Worth noting: During the condensed, lockout-shortened season of 1994-95, 20 goalies made two thirds of their club's starts, led by Calgary's Trevor Kidd and Montreal's Patrick Roy, who were between the pipes for 43 of 48 games.
Last year, Pavelec posted career highs in games (68 played; 67 starts), shutouts (4), wins (29) and saves (1,845).
Glenn Hall (Detroit and Chicago) holds the NHL record for most consecutive games -- 502 -- from the beginning of 1955-56 through the first 12 games of the 1962-63 season.
Pavelec twice had streaks of 13 consecutive starts last year, setting and tying a career high.
Pavelec played 3,932 minutes last season, eighth most in the NHL.
The NHL record for most minutes played by a goalie in one season is 4,697, set by New Jersey's Martin Brodeur in 2006-07.

text: This is very bizarre. My Uncle, Philip John Hopfner, lived in Douglas County Minnesota during WWII but he was born in Douglas County in 1914, had 1 year of college, was married with one child, was not in the US Army but was in the Civil Air Patrol. It seems highly unlikely to me that someone of Japanese ethnicity born in the Philippines would have the name of Hopfner and being born in 1841 would still be alive in WWII. This record is very suspect.

The Army National Guard actually counts 1636 as its founding year, which makes it significantly older than the United States itself. The Massachusetts Bay Colony formed three permanent militia regiments to provide organized defense of the colony; the date of the General Court order was December 13. These regiments still exist as the Massachusetts Army National Guard, now as four units: the 101st Engineer Battalion, the 101st Field Artillery Regiment, the 181st Infantry Regiment, and the 182nd Infantry Regiment.
As colonies developed along the eastern shores and then inland, they formed their individual militia and organized themselves along regimental lines. After the formation of the U.S., militia were organized by the individual states; for much of the 19th century, the U.S. had no national standing army. The name "National Guard" was originally adopted by the 2nd Battalion, 11th New York Artillery, during the War of 1812, in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette of the French National Guard. The name was officially adopted for all state militia with the Militia Act of 1903. In 1933, the state militia joined the National Guard of the United States, a reserve force of the U.S. Army.
So how is it that the Army National Guard can be older than the U.S. Army? Our founding fathers saw fit to recognize the contributions of the states' militia when they passed the Militia Act of May 8, 1792, which enabled pre-existing militia units to retain their "customary privileges." Subsequent acts of Congress have perpetuated this.
Militia units have participated in every U.S. military action since 1636, including the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and now into the 21st. National Guard units also participate in domestic peacekeeping activities and assist with the aftermath of natural disasters. So on December 13, take a moment to learn more about what our Army National Guard is up to by visiting the Guard News and Overseas Operations pages on the National Guard website.
The U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group has been training joint forces in some unusual places—underground venues such as tunnels, caves, and sewers. As battlefields become more urban and enemies move underground, subterranean environments pose unique operational challenges. Although the Army does not currently have an official field manual for underground combat, this new tactical training has developed units' ability to perform in these environments. Combat training centers are starting to integrate these kinds of complex environments into their facilities, and the Army is urging home-station training to "get creative" and use simple techniques to simulate their own underground environments. Something as simple as training in a dark room with obstacles can simulate underground areas. Israeli Defense Forces have also had success with this type of training. Being able to adapt and perform in challenging environments is a vital part of warrior resilience.
If you're in the military, your smartphone may have just gotten smarter. Researchers have recently developed hardware and software that enables teams with Android smartphones to locate nearby snipers. Acoustic sensors have been developed and used by the military in the past, but this portable attachment hooks up to a smartphone and uses microphone sensors to triangulate a sniper's location through muzzle blasts and shockwaves. Other sniper sensors have been developed, such as the helmet-mounted sensor back in 2007 that is the predecessor to this smartphone system. According to one source, the Army has plans to send soldiers to Afghanistan with smartphone technology that will allow them to communicate—even text—more effectively out in the field. As smartphones find their way into combat, this kind of technology shows great promise for the near future.
Although a limited amount of new-generation body armor specifically designed for women is already in theater, field tests will take place in July and August on 600 sets of this armor for female soldiers. These tests are part of the Army's Rapid Fielding Initiative in which they roll out cutting-edge equipment for soldiers. This important development is just one change that is needed if women are to enter additional military occupational specialties, including front-line roles in ground combat. (The ban on women in combat was lifted in January of 2013.)
A noted feature of the new body armor is the decrease in weight from 31 to 25 pounds, which can reduce pressure on muscles and bones, possibly reducing musculoskeletal injuries. In addition, because there's less friction and chaffing, the body armor is more comfortable. Even more important, though, the new armor addresses complaints from women that poor-fitting body armor restricts movement needed to carry out operations such as raising and firing a rifle.
Both service members and civilians with at least seven Army 10-miler finishes under their belt are eligible for one of the 10,000 bibs available via early registration starting May 1st just after midnight for the 29th annual Army 10-Miler on Sunday, October 20, 2013. Service members must register with their .mil email addresses. Regular registration opens on May 15. Visit the Army 10-miler website for more information.

Several file-sharing companies have been billed as "Dropbox for the enterprise." Turns out Dropbox wants that title as well. The company has made that point clear as it has rolled out features aimed at alleviating IT departments' skepticism of the service's viability and trustworthiness in a corporate setting.
Dropbox's latest bid in wooing IT professionals is a new admin panel and sharing controls for Dropbox for Teams, the company's file-sharing service aimed at teams of users in a corporate environment. The update adds new tools for managing team members, monitoring activity, controlling permissions, and boosting security.
The new admin console is designed to provide a panel for managing team members. For starters, admins have the ability to add or remove members -- and create new admins for a group, according to Dropbox. Any change in Active Directory is automatically reflected in the team Dropbox.
Further, the console provides admins with the ability to view team member details, including quota usage, recent activity, Web sessions, which devices and third-party apps are linked, and whether two-step verification is enabled. Admins also can terminate end-users' Web sessions and unlink apps and devices on their behalf.
Dropbox also provides admins the ability to view teamwide activity via the Activity tab, such as when members log in to accounts, invite new members, or link to third-party apps or devices. Admins can generate reports on a team's activities and filter by log-ins, invites, devices, and apps.
Additionally, Dropbox for Teams now enables admins to require two-step verification, meaning members must enter both a password and a unique six-digit code to log in to their account.
Also new: the ability to set sharing permissions for teams. Admins can determine whether users are allowed to share folders and links outside of the team. They also can grant users the ability to determine sharing levels for individual folders and links. What's more, admins can set folder privacy at the account level for their teams, and they can choose whether to allow team members to share and receive folders with users outside the team.
Finally, admins can now access billing history through the Account tab and track transactions, view migration credits, download invoices, and see how many licenses the team has left.
This story, "Dropbox woos enterprise IT with new admin and security tools," was originally published at InfoWorld.com.

I would like to know how is possible insert a link to an image, or edit the html or css code to get hypertext on the image?
I paste some code of my template, I really need some help to set up this hyperlink.
#footer-upper-wrapper ul li input[type="submit"]:hover {
float: left;
background: url('../images/button.png') repeat-x;
border: none;
padding: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
width: 73px;
outline: none;
margin-left: 7px;
color: #fff;
cursor: pointer;

<form method="post">
<input type="text" placeholder="firstname.lastname@example.com" name="contact" />
<input type="submit" value="write-us" name="contactus"/>
Hi bingo105. Welcome to the forums.
That CSS you posted doesn't relate to the image in the HTML, so not totally sure which image you mean. Anyhow, to make the image in the HTML clickable as a link, just do this:

You need to put the link path in there too (inside href="") but that's the basic idea.
I am meaning the image button.png which is located in the css.On this image I would like to add a hyperlink , but I didn't see anywhere the path to do this.
You are kind of mixing things a bit here. It can't be a form submit input and a link at the same time. What are you actually trying to achieve with this code? It looks like a form is not the right element to be using here. Do you want someone to be able to click a button in order to email you? In that case, just style a link to look like a button, if you want a hover effect on the button, or if not, simply put the image into the HTML as I suggested before, and wrap a link around it. It would look something like this:
<a href="mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com" class="contact" >

We can help more if we know exactly what you need. If you want a hover effect, the image will need to stay in the CSS, and the link will just be given dimensions and a background image.
It's not a contact form. I would try to add a hyperlink to the image so it get reddirect to another website.As I see now in the css it's set to hover effect.
OK, I see from the link you PMed me that the button says Contact Us (translated). So just to clarify:
1) you want a link to another website?
If so, you definitely don't want the form, but just a link, like this:

You could style that link to look like the button now. You can do it with CSS and no image. We can help you with that.
2) Out of interest, why do you want an external link for contact purposes?
1) Yes, I would like, when you push the button or text in the button to get to another website.
2) Because this is a landing page.
So which code I must use and where (css or html) to work properly?
OK, the first thing you need to consider is your design. You have a big form across the bottom of your page which you don't need. All you need is the link, so you might want to change the design a bit. Anyhow, the link can be something like this:
Replace the whole form with this:
Contact Us
#footer-lower-wrapper a {
background: url('../images/button_hover.png') repeat-x;
padding: 5px 20px;
color: white;
text-shadow: #D2D1D0 0px 1px 0px;
font-weight: bold;
cursor: pointer;
#footer-lower-wrapper a:hover, #footer-lower-wrapper a:focus {
background: url('../images/button.png') repeat-x;
It's not working....I have removed the code, but, the footer with graphic dissapear, and the button remain, but without any reddirection (link).Some other solution?
Your page looks the same to me. I can't see any changes. Like I said, though, you will need to make some design changes if you remove the form. Maybe a full width div container?

Very good read, though. I kinda wish I'd held out on the Ouya now, since I only really bought that as a substitute for cheaper Chinese Android HTPCs I'd been looking at. The price point on this thing makes me question whether I'd be better off going for something built for purpose, rather than re-purposing an Ouya.
I guess I'll find out in March, and to be honest they're both so cheap I don't mind taking the hit and ending up with both. Does anyone know if I'm likely to benefit from the chip in this over the Ouya's Tegra3? Reply

Re: Photodynamic Therapy
Dear Patricia.
Good to hear that the procedure went well. Was it done under general aneastethics (wrong spelled I guess) and how long did it take?
Was it Steve himself that perfomed the pdt?
Now he has the stent placed tomorrow and the home you go? Is there any control appointments planned?
Really good to hear that you both are alright.

Chance of Flowers by Malin Bengtsson
As far as decorative parasols go, I don't think I've seen something this pretty for a while. Yellow and blue flowers bloom all over the umbrella like raindrops would fall. It's a gorgeous design executed in gorgeous colors. It would only be good for sunny days, but with a umbrella like that I'd be willing to take that chance.

COMMUTERS are pleading with the local authority to not axe an essential bus service from Dursley and Berkeley to Bristol.
The route 224, which takes people to their work or studies every weekday faces the chop in August amid council cut backs.
A new contract with First Bus was agreed by Gloucestershire County Council after Thornbury-based Mike travel could not continue running the service.
But this will only last until August 29, with no guarantees that it will be renewed.
And with a similar service the 626 now no longer going as far as Dursley after it was cut from the route in May, commuters are concerned about how they will continue making a living.
Heather Owens, a civil servant from Berkeley, said for the majority of passengers it was "vital".
"We just want to be able to get to work, earn a living and come home again. We do not need the added stress of the anxiety and struggle of trying to maintain a service to get us there," she said.
"Our bus may not be full up every day, but it is one of the most consistently used services."
Ms Owens added that a group of dedicated commuters had done their best to keep the route going last time it faced the axe in April 2012 by advertising and putting up timetables in Dursley and Cam station and in Berkeley, something which she believed the council and bus service should have been doing.
In addition she said the passengers agreed to almost doubling their ticket price and made suggestions such as smaller buses to reduce costs.
"For passengers to go to these lengths to keep a service running must surely show how valuable it is," she said.
Fellow passenger and Dursley resident from Silver Street Heidi Westerlage, 55, works at Berkeley Power Station and said the commuters deserved some loyalty for their efforts, adding the service was "well-used".
"It will be very very awkward because the other bus runs at six in the morning and would mean I am away from home for 13 hours for a 15 minute trip," she said.
"It's so important for the people of Berkeley because the services have been cut so much already."
Dursley Town Council (DTC) recently voted to protest the service reduction to the town, which already suffers from congested roads.
DTC clerk Helen Bojaniwska said: "The point is they are lots of people from around here who work in Bristol and the sustainable way to get there is by bus and by train.
"We all know there are issues with the trains so they will rely on their cars, which is not sustainable.
"We need to be encouraging people out of their cars and this does not help."
GCC cabinet member for public transport, Cllr Will Windsor Clive, said they wanted to see how they could support services in the long term, with a consultation planned in the coming months.
"We are working hard to help people in the Dursley area and that's why we've put an extra £48,000 into supporting the 224 bus service," he said.
A spokeswoman for First West confirmed they were in discussion with the county council about the provision of services to and from Dursley.


text: NEW YORK ( TheDeal) -- Cooper Tire & Rubber ( CTB) surged Wednesday as India's Apollo Tyres Ltd. said it would acquire tire maker in a $2.5 billion deal that provides for access to the U.S. market and would create one of the largest companies in its industry. Cooper Tire jumped 41% to $34.66. Terms of the deal call for Gurgaon-based Apollo to pay $35 per share in cash for Cooper, a premium of 43% to the target's Tuesday close. Apollo, which last month said it would sell its operations in South Africa to Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. for $60 million, said it would fund the deal with new borrowings. The companies said the deal would create a manufacturer with $6.6 billion in annual sales and rank as the world's seventh-largest tire seller. Findlay, Ohio-based Cooper, which ranks as the world's 11th-largest tire company by revenue, was founded in 1914 and does business via brands including Cooper, Mastercraft, Starfire, Chengshan, Roadmaster and Avon. Apollo, in business since 1972, has substantial market share in India and Europe but has been seeking to expand in areas such as North America that have been growing faster. "This transformational transaction provides an unprecedented opportunity to serve customers across a host of geographies in both developed and fast-growing emerging markets around the world," Apollo chairman Onkar S. Kanwar said in a statement. "The combined company will be uniquely positioned to address large, established markets, such as the United States and the European Union, as well as the fast-growing markets of India, China, Africa and Latin America where there is significant potential for further growth." The companies expect the deal to close before year's end. Apollo said it expects Cooper to continue to be run by members of current management and to honor the terms of collective bargaining agreements in place. Cooper chairman and CEO Roy Armes in a statement said the deal is in the best interest of shareholders and "offers attractive benefits to our customers and employees," noting that the companies "have almost no geographic overlap and significant opportunities for growth." Apollo expects to generate synergies of at least $80 million annually at the Ebitda level within three years via better scale, product optimization and manufacturing improvements.

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. - Orchard Maple Family Dental in West Bloomfield and Operation Gratitude have partnered for the first annual Halloween Candy Buy Back Event.
Metro Detroit families are invited to bring in whatever extra candy they have to donate to troops overseas. Families are also encouraged to write a thank you note to the troops.
Children donating their candy will receive one dollar for every pound of candy they donate, up to five dollars.
Those who donate will also be entered for a chance to win a free year Quality Dental Plan membership from OMFD.
The plan includes a free dental exam, complimentary x-rays, semi-annual cleanings, whitening and other discounted services valued at $299.

The session that Xavi and I gave at MAX has been recorded.
You will find the video here and the slides up here
I need to make an erratum, though. François wanted me to relay this :
"Great FlexPMD presentation at MAX! congrats ! And thanks for your slide on PMD and the link to the presentation I did with Romain at the ParisJUG and the Parisian Linux Conference. But the big acknowledgement should go to Tom Copeland, Romain Pelisse, Ryan Gustafson, Xavier Le Vourch and many others. I did work with Romain on PMD, and contributed a few lines of code to the XRadar project, but that's all. Here is the correction made."

Last week I made my first Beer Can Chicken and it was fantastic. A great recipe that I look forward to making often. I do have a couple of questions for you Beer Can Chicken experts though:
1- I use a 221/2 inch Weber Grill with hinged grates. When I procceeded to restock my coals with a new batch of charcoal, the ash from the charcoal in the chimney starter kicked up onto the chicken. Is this a common occurence when using hinged grates where you don't have to remove the food to add more coals? It was pretty messy. Any general tips on dealing with the messiness of charcoal?
2- Can you do two chickens at the same time on a 22 1/2 inch grill and still have it take the same amount of time and get the same (taste) results?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Last Monday's post about the tragic suicide of Aaron Swartz inspired a huge response from the residents of Cringeville, both in the comments and on email. I wanted to share some of the latter here.
First, though, an aside: Yesterday the Westboro Baptist Church announced it had canceled its plans to stage a protest at Swartz's funeral, which meant that Anonymous did not have to follow through with its plan to form a human shield around the mourners to protect them from those a******s. Thank goodness for small favors. The event was tragic enough without turning the funeral into a circus.
[ Also on InfoWorld: In memory of Aaron Swartz: Stealing is not stealing | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. | Cut straight to the key news for technology development and IT management with our once-a-day summary of the top tech news. Subscribe to the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
But the news of this story got me to thinking once again about how much the WBC ironically resembles 4chan, from which the Anonymous movement seems to have sprung. Both groups seem utterly determined to be as offensive to as many human beings as humanly possible. The biggest difference to me is that 4chan's offensiveness has been almost entirely virtual (and often laced with humor), while the church chooses to do its trolling in three dimensions (usually laced with hate). The WBC's "protests" have been so over the top, that for a long time I have suspected the founders of being a version of the Merry Pranksters, conducting an experiment to measure just how depraved people can be if they set their minds to it.
I digress. In my post I focused on how our government has demonized crimes involving technology, many of them better described as acts of protest than theft. I can see a clear line linking back from prosecuting Swartz's "crime" (downloading more documents than he was legally allowed to from a trove of academic papers, with the intent of distributing them free online) to the actions of the RIAA and MPAA in suing file sharers for tens of thousands of dollars. It's the content cartel acting like a bully yet again, with the help of our government.
That post made some readers believe I condone piracy of intellectual property. That's not the case. Swapping files to avoid paying for stuff is cheap and low rent. What I object to are the tactics of the content cartel, the overinflated claims of damage, and the oversized penalties allowed under the law. If the recording industry is dying, I believe the wounds have been largely self-inflicted; file swapping is a largely a response to a pattern of disregard by the music industry over the years.
Swartz's motive for downloading the files from JSTOR and distributing them via BitTorrent, however, seems more benign: the notion that academic research should be part of the public commons, not locked behind a paywall. Even then, some readers vehemently disagreed. For example, reader T. B. writes:
There's a problem with the assumption that hacktivists have everyone's best interest at heart. There is NO WAY to have a society where EVERYONE gets to decide what is best and then act on it. That's called ANARCHY and if we had anarchy, I think you'd be complaining about that even more. I personally agree that information should be free, but your right to swing your fist doesn't stop three inches past my nose. Hacktivists will get a lot more respect from me when they start realizing that other people have rights too, and my rights are not subordinate to the hacktivist's activism.
I don't assume hacktivists have everyone's best interests at heart, but I don't believe they should be punished more severely than people who've committed far more serious crimes of a commercial nature. The example I used in my last post was a major international bank guilty of money laundering that walked away with a large fine; there are many others.

From what I've read, he'd been chasing her for years after JFK died and she'd always said no. Then Bobby was murdered and she said yes, feeling she needed some sort of haven to escape the world's madness. Didn't work.

The cynic in me thinks that he promised to keep her in a style that she wanted to become accustomed to. There were always stories about how JFK wanted to rein in her spending.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/2/2013 (1651 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If there ever was a case before the justice system that demanded flawless administration, it is this one.
Last May, final arguments were heard in a case against former East St. Paul police chief Harry Bakema. He is charged with perjury, breach of trust and obstruction of justice for his part in the botched investigation of the death of Crystal Taman, who in 2005 was struck by a car driven by an off-duty Winnipeg police officer, Derek Harvey-Zenk, following an all-night drinking party. Irregularities with the investigation prompted the Crown attorney in the case to offer Harvey-Zenk a deal: He pleaded guilty to reduced charges in exchange for a conditional sentence. The case sparked provincewide howls of protest and, subsequently, a judicial inquiry.
The Bakema prosecution was supposed to be the last, sorry chapter in the lamentable story of Taman's death and the subsequent erosion of public confidence in the justice system. You would think that, given the facts and lingering public concern about the case, the justice system would do everything possible to ensure the Bakema decision is delivered in a timely, professional manner. Unfortunately, that is not what has happened.
Provincial court Justice Kelly Moar, who heard the case alone without a jury, has yet to render his decision, now nearly 10 months after final arguments. It is hardly a stretch to say that what is happening now is exactly what the public, and the guardians of the justice system, did not want to happen with this case.
There are no legislated deadlines for how quickly a judge must render a decision. However, more than 30 years ago, the Canadian Judicial Council identified six months as a reasonable amount of time for any accused person to wait for a decision. That half-year guideline has been used effectively in complaints against judges, motions to dismiss and appeals of criminal convictions.
In some provinces, failure to meet the six-month target has meant disciplinary action for judges. In Quebec last month, the chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench prohibited a judge from taking on new cases until she had cleared a backlog of cases. A subsequent CBC television story determined that in more than half of this judge's cases, she took more than six months to render a decision. Although the penalty was only reduced duties, the public rebuke by the chief justice and subsequent media reports were punishment, and should send a clear message to other judges about how serious this matter is taken.
In the case of Judge Moar, this is not the first time he has been involved in a controversy based on an inability to render a timely decision. In 2011, drunk-driving charges against a Winnipeg man were dismissed after Moar took 21 months to rule on an evidentiary motion. In a Court of Queen's Bench decision to dismiss the charges, Justice Albert Clearwater wrote the delay in this case was "a serious breach of the constitutional rights of both this accused and society generally."
Given the generally accepted six-month deadline, and the incendiary nature of this case, it is quite frankly tough to comprehend how Moar could have got this far behind. The courts do not comment publicly about the pace at which cases are decided, so there is no opportunity to have questions asked and answered. If there is some pressing ancillary or personal issue affecting Moar's performance, it has not been picked up by the many purveyors of gossip who operate within the legal profession. It appears to the outside world that this is tardiness, pure and simple.
Could provincial court Chief Judge Kenneth Champagne intervene to move things along? It is always a tricky thing for anyone, including a chief justice, to do anything that could be seen as meddling with another judge's duties. And yet, tradition suggests chief justices can and do intervene if the integrity of the justice system is at stake. There is no doubt the system itself is due to be judged, again, for this misstep. If there ever was a time when an intervention was warranted, this is likely it.
The administration of justice is a tricky matter, of that there is no doubt. At first blush, it seems like an impossible task. Effective justice requires a balancing of the rights of the accused and the interests of the broader public in a safe and ordered society.
And yet, there is a place good lawyers and judges find between due process and undue, unexplained delays that serve all interests. This is a place the provincial court system must find in this matter.
This is a case that cries out for effective, efficient justice. It is the final bit of business in a particularly tragic and tawdry matter. It must be completed in a timely manner, so those directly involved, and those of us watching from the sidelines, can be put out of our collective misery.

Recently, my five year old granddaughter, Josie, said to me, "I wish I was a grown up." I told her, "No you don't. Kids can have way more fun." She looked at me like I was telling her a terrible lie. After she said that, I started thinking about the big differences between being...

In just a couple days, you can sit down and enjoy a great meal at the annual Bureau Creek Gobblers Hunting Heritage Banquet. This is coming up Saturday and will be held at the Met. Lucky participants will dine on ribeye and/or pork chops along with the usual sides.
I attended the committee meeting and was really impressed with the quality and amounts of prizes that will be available in this year's banquet package. Beautiful artwork, furniture, knives, and interesting sculptures will highlight this year's auction.
There will also be at least eight guns featured in the night's action. Two of them especially caught my eye. The first one was the B.C. Gobblers pre-banquet gun raffle This features a Remington 870 Express Super Magnum 3 1/2 inch, 12-gauge with a 28-inch barrel with vent rib.
The second gun will be the 2013 NWTF Gun of the Year. This gun is the Browning Silver 12-gauge automatic with a 28-inch barrel. This one is a real beauty.
So mark Jan. 26 on your calendar so you will support this fine organization and also get a chance to win some great prizes. The doors open a 5:30 p.m. with the dinner at 7 p.m.
See you there.

• Recently, the PHS Sportsman's Club travelled over to Time on the Water in Spring Valley to practice archery in their indoor range.The young archers got their bows ready and were soon shooting the targets at 20 yards. Now a couple of the guys were in a heated battle to see who could get the most bullseyes and the girls were on the other side of the range shooting at an equal pace.
I found a nice chair and was enjoying the young archers and was a little surprised that boys or girls, it didn't matter, were getting most of their arrows in the bullseye. Then I noticed that two girls had crossbows. I was happy to see that one dad in our group was helping the ladies with their crossbows. This was great because I have no previous experience with crossbows and he was doing a great job.
The more I sat, the more I became impressed with the crossbow lady. Her name was McKenzie Cain and her dad was Tom Cain. She kept hitting the center of the target time after time. I talked with her dad and he told me they had spent quite a bit of time together practicing.
Hailey Hilmes, Meaghan Noll and two Brookes, Ford and Stowe, continued hitting the bullseyes also. The boys included Turner Jamison, Cordell Kunkel, Alex Adams and Bryson Oeder, and they were hardly ever outside the bullseye too.
Then, before we left, several of them wanted to stand up on the balcony for their last two shots. This was back at the 35-yard mark. They all were successful and McKenzie accepted an extra challenge. They placed a metal sheet with a 2 1/2 inch hole in it up as a target. Now here's the deal. If you are accurate, that's great. If not, you will break an $8 arrow. McKenzie took careful aim and shot right in the 2 1/2 inch circle. Amazing!
I want to thank Tom Cain for his help with the crossbows and also Time on the Water for their hospitality.

2013 Potters Council Board Elections
Posted 25 January 2013 - 09:04 AM
From now and until March 1, 2013, you (PC members) will be asked to vote for the new Members of the Board of the Potters Council.
We have six compelling candidates who are ready to represent you for the next three years as Board Members and two candidates for President Elect. You can vote online or send in the paper ballot included in the January Potters' Pages Newsletter (mailed mid January).
Now, we are going to ask YOU to get serious. Read about the candidates below and then have your Potters Council membership number available so you can vote here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9QSS98G
If elected, I would like to pursue a couple issues important to me. I would continue building more interest in the discussion surrounding the importance and issues of an apprenticeship program—what's needed, and how they can be supported. This effort would include feed back from young potters looking for apprenticeships and from those having completed the apprenticeship experience. I would also engage the broader clay community in a serious discussion about the complex challenges in softening our collective carbon footprint in studios and classrooms.
I have been a studio potter since 1973. Armed with a degree in English Literature, I produce wood-fired functional pots with Asian and English influences. I have taught workshops throughout the county and abroad that focus on throwing large-scale work, tea bowls, and all things wood fired. I live in the Blue Ridge foothills of Virginia with my wife, Linda.
Having been a Charter Member of the Potters Council, I have seen the tremendous strides made by former board members and officers. The Council membership is something I treasure.
I believe in sharing experiences and knowledge and, as such, I have 35 years of experience in ceramics to call on in the position of President Elect. I have been a studio potter, a teacher, mentor, and officer in several ceramic organizations. Additionally, I have earned MFA and MBA degrees, both of which can contribute special skills to the organization. It is "pay-back" time for me. I am ready to serve in a leadership role of the Potters Council.
Studio Potter; Past President of the American Ceramic Society Design Chapter, Los Angeles; Past President Ventura Potter's Guild; Past Treasurer and Board Member NCECA; Past Board Member of Association of Clay and Glass Artists, California; MFA from California State University; MBA from University of San Francisco; teaching experience California State University and California Lutheran College; numerous worldwide workshops; author and editor of Naked Raku and Related Bare Clay Techniques.
At this stage of my career, I find myself getting increasingly involved in entities I believe in. This comes from my realization that the sustainability of something important demands pragmatic attention, commitment, and action. Further, I am driven by a strong sense of confidence and responsibility. I used to see the Potters Council as an entity that existed autonomously; and I had never given real thought to the significant support it offers to artists in all stages of their careers, or the opportunities that it provides its members. However, I have come to realize its significant impact and relevance to our field. I see the Potters Council as key to ensuring the sustainability and relevance of our field in our rapidly changing culture. For that reason, I am keenly interested in becoming a member of the Potters Council's Board. My experience speaks to being a strong collaborator, colleague, and leader as appropriate. I can promise a strong commitment and effort. Thank you for your consideration.
Chris Archer is a 42 year-old artist in Manchester, New Hampshire. His studio work consists of functional pottery, sculptural forms, arrangements, and site-specific installations. Following a diverse range of curiosities and investigations, his work consistently focuses on the significance of tactility and provoking physical engagement with the world as a means of creative opportunity. His work has been shown in 26 juried exhibitions, 15 invitational exhibitions, and 3 solo exhibitions, earning multiple juror's award. Chris' work is also in the collection of the San Angelo Museum of Art in San Angelo, Texas. Chris began his career after college as a production potter and eventually opening his own craft center that consisted of community classes, rental, workshops, retail gallery, and his private studio. As Chris' work became more complex and he began to exhibit nationally, he downsized to a private studio on his property and sold the business. Parallel to the evolution of his studio practice, Chris has built a 20-year career of teaching. Teaching is a passion for Chris, as he considers the classroom another medium. He has taught in a myriad of venues including visiting artist residencies, workshop presentations throughout New England, community art centers, private lessons, and at University of New Hampshire. Currently Chris is full-time Faculty at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, NH where he has worked for 12 years. Chris is also an active member of various organizations including the New Hampshire Potters Guild (of which he served multiple terms as Vice President), New Hampshire League of Craftsmen (of which he is a juried member), the International Society for Ceramic Art Education and Exchange (for whom he offered a lecture and workshop at the last symposium in Tokyo), NCECA as well as the Potters Council. Chris earned a BFA from The New York College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 1992 and his MFA from Maine College of Art in 2008.
I take great advantage of many of the video tutorials that Ceramics Arts Daily has showcased—they have enriched my teaching deeply! I browse the book area, I seek out residencies, I subscribe to CM…in short, I have mined the Potters Council and its website for too many years! I am interested in serving on the Potters Council board so that I can give back to this wonderful community. I appreciate the information sharing, networking opportunities, and access to resources that the Potters Council has provided for me and other potters in the last decade. I hope that I can move the council forward and help sustain its great work.
I have been teaching for nearly 25 years, the last 15 almost exclusively in ceramics. Much of my ceramic education has come informally. I have been fortunate enough to teach alongside some great potters: Makoto Yabe and Masakazu Kusakabe. I have taken workshops with incredible teachers: Mary Barringer, Sam Chung, John Gill, and Doug Casebeer, to name a few. I have also benefitted from the entire digital ceramics community, who are so generous in sharing their knowledge through blogs, websites, Facebook, and more.
Currently, I teach at Noble and Greenough School, 7-12th grade students. I have been here for 15 years, serving as Department Head, teacher, and gallery director. Previously, I have taught at Sewickley Academy in Pennsylvania, Phillips Academy at Andover in Massachusetts, and both Portland Community College and Mount Hood Community College in Oregon.
DR. CHRISTOPHER GREENMAN, Ph.D, MONTGOMERY, AL
Why do I want to be a board member of the Potters Council? It is my desire to represent potters and the art of the potter in the position of a board member of the Potters Council. By channeling my own passion for clay, I can become a strong advocate for the passion of other national and international potters. For the past thirty years, I have been involved in teaching ceramics, crafts, art history, and art education in various capacities. During this time, the world has undergone tremendous change, but through it all, the vitality of the crafts, especially pottery, has remained constant. We potters and our art have the ability to reconnect people with beauty, craftsmanship, ritual, and nature which are vital elements in human existence. In my involvement with the firing team of the anagama kiln at the University of Montevallo in Alabama, I have been a witness to how traditions get passed from one generation to the next, and how the uninitiated get involved. It is about creating communities and coming together to nurture and protect the traditions of claying for future generations. Potters have always been community minded artists, from establishing large community bodies like NCECA, to creating small annual conferences like the Alabama Clay Conference and numerous smaller workshops for potters. By sharing together in a compassionate, nurturing, and cooperative mission and navigating within the changing world, we can ensure a future for the work of the potter. For their artistic quest to continue, potters will need conscious, compassionate support to navigate the cacophony of the field of the visual culture well into the future. I thank you for your vote.
Dr. Christopher Greenman has been working in clay for thirty years. He learned in the Leach/Japanese tradition at the Pennsylvania State University under the tutelage of master potter Dr. Kenneth Beittel, author of Zen and the Art of Pottery. Dr. Greenman seeks inspiration from the aesthetics of Japanese ceramics and seeks to find his place in what Beittel called the "Great Tradition of Pottery." He delights in creating forms that allow a viewer or user to reconnect with the world of Nature and that resonate with the Japanese concepts of wabi, sabi, and shibui. Dr. Greenman received his doctorate in Art Education from Penn State in 1990. Since then, he has worked at the Lehigh University Art Galleries and the Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation. For the last seventeen years, he has taught ceramics, art education, art history, art theory, and art appreciation at Alabama State University in Montgomery, AL. In 2009, he was chosen as one of ten international artists to attend the International Workshop in the Ceramic Arts of Tokoname (IWCAT). He has been a participant and organizer of the annual Alabama Clay Conference. For the past ten years, he has been an active member of the firing team at the University of Montevallo in Alabama; the team is lead by Dr. Scott Meyer who constructed the large anagama kiln in 2001.
As a Potters Council board member, I would like to address ways to promote community education in the ceramic arts. I would like to see this happening not only in the teaching of skills to existing and new students, but in teaching the general public to appreciate handmade objects of clay. I believe my background in community and academic education as well as my experience in using ceramics to serve in the community would be very helpful in this endeavor.
I began my journey in clay by taking a community education class in wheel throwing in the mid 80's. While working at my day job as an RN, I took as many classes and workshops as time and money allowed. I began volunteering as a historical interpreter at a living museum in Charleston, South Carolina, demonstrating and discussing the ceramic technology of the Low Country during colonial times. I owned and operated a teaching studio in Pawleys Island, SC for five years, teaching adult classes as well as children's classes and camps. I was fortunate to be able to host workshops two or three times a year, featuring nationally and internationally known clay artists. I volunteered in the community via organizing a local empty bowls project, co-founding Arts by Fire, a guild for clay, glass, and metal artists and by supporting local charities with my students' help.
I joined the Potters Council in 2003, the year after I established my pottery studio. Throughout that time I have watched the strides the Council has made towards becoming a true knowledge base, networking aid, and support provider for studio potters and ceramics artists in the US. My career as a studio potter has grown much the same way and I often look to the Council for education, social networking, and benefits information. Previous to becoming a potter I worked for the non-profit Canadian arm of the Jane Goodall Institute in addition to volunteering time for a health food co-op and animal rescue foundation both of which added to my experience with governing boards and an understanding of how working with a group of individuals with a shared passion can inspire greatness. I currently sit on the board of a local arts foundation (Katherine Forest Crafts Foundation) whose main purpose is in supporting craft artists. I run my own business in an effort to share my passion with others and provide opportunities for all ages to get their hands on clay to explore the wonder, joy, and therapy the medium has to offer. It is a true honor to run for a seat on the Potter's Council Board of Directors as its mission aligns with my own and I would be grateful at the opportunity to be a part of its future growth.
Lyndsay discovered her passion for clay the moment she sat down at a potter's wheel over a decade ago. She honed her clay skills through teaching at children's summer camps, attending workshops, and persistent practice. In 2002 she established Meiklem Kiln Works, which began as a small pottery studio that offered clay classes to the public. In September 2006 Meiklem Kiln Works moved to Bozrah, CT and nearly tripled in size. January 2010 marked yet another expansion and Centerspace Wellness Studio now functions alongside the art studio. Lyndsay is a full-time working potter and instructor who is passionate about sharing her love for the medium with others. The art studio also offers classes in a variety of other artistic mediums from fused glass to precious metal clay, while the Wellness Studio offers ongoing yoga, meditation, and healing arts classes. The main goal in all classes is encouraging students to first and foremost enjoy themselves while learning. Lyndsay also feels strongly about connecting with community. The studio participates in the annual Empty Bowls Project to raise money for the local soup kitchen, holds an Annual Outdoor Arts & Wellness Fair each July, and uses gift shop sales to help raise money for various local causes. Although she credits her parents with instilling in her an incredible self-motivation and confidence that has enabled her to pursue her dreams, Lyndsay relies heavily on the motto "Conceive, Believe, Receive" which is a key ingredient to a happy life.
My love of teaching and all things ceramic brought me first as a browser then as a participator to the Ceramic Arts Community Forum. I am enthusiastic about the forums as a place where potters can get help, express ideas, and share their successes and failures—something needed as all too often there are very little local opportunities for this sort of exchange. I have an extensive library related to ceramics, and subscribe to several ceramics magazines in order to keep as up to date as possible on what is happening.
I have always been interested in technology, and the tools that new technologies provide. Through teaching courses in computer technologies, I have a good amount of experience with drawing, painting, photography, movie, and animation programs. I have used these programs with students and for personal work and still do. Technology for me, is not to replace, but is another mold, rib, brush or palette knife in the box. As a member of the Ceramic Arts Community, I bring these passions with me. As a Potters Council member, how could I not continue?
My college years started with a math/science major that ended up being liberal arts until I transfer to a state college where I studied art education and first was introduced to ceramics—two courses in undergraduate school and I was hooked.
I was hired at a large high school in a small city to teach art. Over the years I taught Art 1, Art 2, Ceramics 1 & 2, Electronic Studio Arts 1&2 (2-D & 3-D animation), and Jewelry and Metalcraft to high school students. I also taught adult classes in the Vo-Tech school at night including: Photoshop, Corel Draw, Illustrator, and Painter. I taught a graduate adult class for the local college termed,"New technologies in Education". I also taught adult ceramics classes at the high school to augment the high school ceramics budget.
I set up my home ceramics studio after 10 years of teaching to give me a place to pursue my hobby. As with many of us, once the pots started piling up, I started doing small arts festivals, and then the Penn State Festival of the Arts. I still sell pottery, but more on individual orders, and home sales.
My community participation over the years has been involved with the local Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen where I also served a few years as president. I also worked on several coordination committees for the Blair County Festival of the Arts, co-chairing the Craft Market committees. I have done volunteer work for the local community theater painting and designing sets. I have also been the set designer and crew advisor for the high school drama club. After 36 years of teaching, I retired to spend more time with my wife, travel, and pursue my hobbies. I kayak, bike, and camp in the summers. I hunt for a few weeks in the winter with my father. Bowl all year round, and do pottery in the shop as many days as I can.

It is a little late to do this with the elections ending in only about a week or so, but I'll ask Steven Branfman (Acting Nominating Committee Chair) to send an email out to see if any are. We might hear back from everyone in time to post it here...... might not.

I have not posted on here in quite a while. I was a regular on Clay art before the change but somehow never made it back. I am running for the Potters Council Board and would like your vote! I am intriqued about learning more about The Potters Council and seeking out ways to make it better and more suitable to its members and our current culture. I have been a member of the Potter's Council for many years (ten maybe?). I have been involved with craft galleries (The Kentucky Art and Craft Gallery in Louisville,KY) museums (Lehigh University Art Galleries), and the Alabama Clay Conference. I was a member of the IWCAT (International Workshop for the Ceramic Arts) in Tokoname, Japan in 2009. I also traveled around Japan before and after the IWCAT, including going up to Goshogawara in northern Japan and checking out the international workshop at the Tsugaru Kanayama pottery. My work has been in national shows, regional shows and local shows. I have done about three or four craft shows a year mostly in the southeast. I teach art (including ceramics) at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama. I have been involved with wood firing since 1990 when I fired at Jack Troy's kiln in Pennsylvania. I did fire once with John Baymore in his noborigama kiln up in New Hampshire. Now I fire at the University of Montevallo (here in Alabama) in their large anagama about once or twice a year.
I think that my experience, contacts( local national and international and my curiosity about ceramics will help me a lot as a board member. If you have any input or questions please let me hear them. I look forward to serving the membership in the capacity as a Board Member.
