The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

Duke I&E Research Paper No. 16-10
We provide new evidence that the subjective "look of competence" rather than beauty is important for CEO selection and compensation. Our experiments, studying the facial traits of CEOs using nearly 2,000 subjects, link facial characteristics to both CEO compensation and performance. In one experiment, we use pairs of photographs and find that subjects rate CEO faces as appearing more "competent" than non-CEO faces. Another experiment matches CEOs from large firms against CEOs from smaller firms and finds large-firm CEOs look more competent. In a third experiment, subjects numerically score the facial traits of CEOs. We find competent looks are priced into CEO compensation, more so than attractiveness. Our evidence suggests this premium has a behavioral origin. First, we find no evidence that the premium is associated with superior performance. Second, we separately analyze inside and outside CEO hires and find that the competence compensation premium is driven by outside hires – the situation where first impressions are likely to be more important.

Make Ideajam database as default application on domino (21 Aug 2010)
My first suggestion for any contribution from OpenNTF would probably be OpenLog. What about yours?
Make Ideajam database as default application on domino (20 Aug 2010)
i think ideajam is an excellent example of an extension on your domino platform. I see no need to include it in the current application portfolio
I would rather see a broader portfolio with solid applications that cover different areas (personal/team activity, content management (bookmarks, rss reader, multi mail application, common inbox) that really high end solutions. leave that to the third parties.
Dogear: Plugin for many browsers to store bookmark in dogear (20 Aug 2010)
what about a connections toolbar for the browser?
Create an AppStore for $1.99 apps (16 Aug 2010)
There are a lot of pro's and con's for an appstore, but should it be build by IBM? I hope not. IBM's interest is not selling apps, so this appstore can never be a success.
But any third party, commercially or not (openntf), is welcome to offer a sales module for applications for application developers in form of an appstore.
I have just no faith in IBM here.
Feed Readers page for Domino (05 Aug 2010)
I guess this will become an Feed Reader application?
IBM does not do applications, you know?
Have the TopGear guys as opening act (04 Aug 2010)
I believe people are shouting that IBM should reach the young ones?
Did they do that with William Shatner, Dan Aykroyd, Bob Costas, Rudy Giuliani, Walter Cronkite, Avery Brooks ? (Open the door, get on the floor - Everybody walk the dinosaur)
Instead of "This is not your father's Notes", it should be "This is not your father's Lotusphere"
The Top Gear guys are not so young themselves, their audience is a bit younger though.

Calendar View for Xpages (16 Jan 2010)
hej Peter, I guess if you read one of the presentations for Lotusphere for the next version of Notes they say to deliver a rich set of controls, using Dojo dijits. A calendar view shoulf also be part of that.
Too bad we do not have them right now.

Include in Menu (Form property) -> extend to right mouse click db (22 May 2009)
can you explain me the extra value why the 'create' menu option with available forms is ONLY available AFTER you have entered the application?
In the current situation you have to enter the database first to be able to create a new document.
I see a lot of designs where a frameset is being used and a view with an automatic index in part of a default frameset.
This causes that people have to wait before the view is re-indexed.
If we could avoid that waiting by making the 'create' option available from a 'database icon' level people could start creating documents without having to enter the application first.
something similar if you create a document in the background using lotusscript (okej you have to enter the database but NOT a view).
when you have a lot of forms available from your create - menu I think this is implicit bad design also...
I hope I could make my request clear this time...
Include in Menu (Form property) -> extend to right mouse click db (15 May 2009)
Maybe a sub header 'create' would have made it more clear
Include in Menu (Form property) -> extend to right mouse click db (15 May 2009)

Always nice to open a view with ALL the documents and then start searching.
Also the icons really tell me immediately where the mail is located (in which folder for example)
Nice job IBM (not). I keep my idea open!

yes, let get things done!
it would be nice to have such view available for other applications too!
Option to import custom image in "Design Icon" interface (30 Mar 2009)
@Rob: is this really too much asked?
creating thumbnails is already enabled for a field, why not for the icon?
I do not vote for this idea since icon improvements have already been posted in other ideas.

More useful templates (11 Feb 2009)
@Bruce: aren't most projects on OpenNTF more like 'half baked' applications? Most of them require work and in the current situation there is very little budget for development projects. I can see MOSS could take leaps here but implementation/migration projects are also not for free...

IdeaJam Facts (11 Jan 2009)
Hej, In some cases the 'completed' function relates to personal activities (like writing a presentation for Lotusphere about Developing a World-class Web 2.0 Application with XPages ;-) )
If any ideas here have contributed to the product or are included in the next version than this may be mentioned clearly to demonstrate the usage/purpose of ideajam (I guess you can use it as an argument when selling ideajam as a product).
I understand the difficulty how to decide if an improvement/achievement came 'exclusively' from ideajam or if it's a logical next step in a lifecycle/adaption to the market/technology...
anyway, ideas that have started here and made it into a new release are worth mentioning. some gratification we love and like to take =)
Allow Notes Database icon to have 24-bit (=16.7 million) colors (19 Sep 2008)

they are available in some wizard functions but you can not create them yourselves... that helps?
Right-click action "Open application's template in designer" (24 Jun 2008)

Tag my databases (23 Jun 2008)
I am sorry, but I must have forgotten how dumb users sometimes are (maybe that also depending that IBM/Lotus did not make the client as intuitive as it should be).
Never the less why the dumbness of users stand in the way of progress?

Set your connection speed for testing (30 May 2008)
well its just 'narrowing' your connection speed for your (local) Notes client, or am I wrong?
Set your connection speed for testing (29 May 2008)
well thats just another program to buy isn't?
I guess in Dreamweaver they thought an additional program was not needed since they where cable to integrare something similar in their product. Why can't Lotus?
Better rendering when pasting in web content (29 May 2008)
This would be a real life saver!
Nowadays I paste content from the web first in MS Word and from that in Notes. There seems to be no other way for it.
This makes really SUCK for end-users!

Have IBM have a paid resource(s) working on OPENNTF (19 Mar 2008)
okej read funding instead of paid resource (at the end someone has to get a paycheck for his efforts). nevertheless the openntf stays as buggy as it is (tried to update my user profile but got an error) after how many years?
Have IBM have a paid resource(s) working on OPENNTF (12 Mar 2008)
@turtle: so you say the caused error is due internet explorer? probably the problem is not SO BIG that a simple work-around or adaption to the code would be SUCH a great effort? right!
well "have" is a big word, but if IBM is using or wants to use OpenNTF as a distributioan channel than some more demands may be made.
we dev. guys are just too friendly.
Have IBM have a paid resource(s) working on OPENNTF (11 Mar 2008)

definetely a must have!
Better Beer (22 Feb 2008)
The best beer in the world is already available: Hoegaarden!
full support of HTML and JavaScript for workspace.dialogbox (22 Feb 2008)
most the applications I work on use Notes as the editing client and Domino as the HTML rendering engine. Since the support of HTML/CSS in the Notes client lies far behind of that of the standard browsers users are forced to save the documents they work on and open them in a browser to see their results.
I would prefer that my users can work within one program, preferably Notes, and dont have to judge their work in a second program.
Luckily it seems that Notes 8 is going to cover this gap up (I hope)
full support of HTML and JavaScript for workspace.dialogbox (21 Feb 2008)
@charles, you give an example yourself already. If I want to display data in a table I would use the table tags, not div tags.
Another BIG problem is that the html rendering occurs when loading a document, not when the document is already loaded. Any changes on the HTML will have NO effect for the user. Hopefully the Notes 8 client will solve this.
Alt text for icons in a view (14 Jan 2008)

Ability to mark a field as required without having to code (21 Dec 2007)

IBM should give Mr. Ben Langhinrichs full programmatic READ access to the Lotusphere schedule (19 Dec 2007)

Rounded Corner tables (19 Dec 2007)
for the Notes client: okej, for the Web client: nah!
every person has his preferences on how the rounded corner should look like (at least of the web).
I agree not to mix up presentation with the content.

please leave the R4 rubbisch out of the R8 forum I would say.
but an improvement of the search function with the option to search over multiple forumns would be a great addition
Top Ideas in the Sidebar: We need your input (12 Dec 2007)
I do not know how the data is currently stored but a indication how many points an idea has received the last 7 days would be a better indication to see if an idea is a 'lasting' good idea.
@Command to specify the insertion point in a field (12 Dec 2007)
uhm, bottom, top or a line-number ?
Categories for your Emails (08 Dec 2007)
great thought! steal with pride and improve i would say
Column - Totals: useless for display values as icons (06 Dec 2007)
I will not call you stupid, just badly informed.
For example if I have a formula for a column with the display as icon option:
And if I select in the Totals option 'Average per document' I get an average returned as an icon, but I have no control over what icon will be displayed... (okej the icon number that is the nearest to my average) .
It just looks really silly and useless the result I get returned...
Change @DbTitle into @AppTitle (06 Dec 2007)
this was just a silly joke, but if IBM wants us to call databases applications I think they should adjust the functons/formulas to keep it consistent, having backward compatibility in mind ofcourse.
Dynamic height for embedded views (06 Dec 2007)
this is indeed a pain in the ***
Drag & Drop components onto Notes design elements (06 Dec 2007)
I would suggest a more graphical Toolbox that are available in WYSIWYG editors like DreamWeaver. (also in other programs as PhotoShop and Illustrator)
ViewTemplate for multiple views (06 Dec 2007)
Hej Kerr, thanks for the 'workaround', I was not aware of it. But Charles is right, some transparancy here would be helpful.

Saline County Conservation Area
Long before the first settlers appeared, the Indians made salt from their "Great Salt Springs." This site encompasses nearly 1,250 acres of bottomland and heavily timbered hills.
Lake Glendale Beach & Campground
Beautiful beach located on the shore of an 80 acres lake in the heart of the Shawnee National Forest. Beach open Memorial Day-Labor Day, 7 days a week. Concessions available
This fun, challenging course includes nine, 36 par holes, and is open spring, summer and fall. The club offers a full pro shop and snack bar.
The Shawnee National Forest is famed for its awesome Garden of the Gods, and is home to the Rim Rock Recreational Trail (the forest has a system of 403 miles of equestrian/hiking trails). Hikers are greeted by magnificent jutting walls of rock covered with emerald-green moss, and paths that meander through canyons under the forest canopy. Nestled between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the stunning Shawnee National Forest landscape features rolling hills, lakes, creeks and rugged bluffs. If you're into climbing than a must-see is Jackson Falls, located near the town of Ozark in the Hidden Springs Ranger District in Shawnee National Forest. The climb takes place on 60 feet of sandstone cliffs and boulders that include numerous freestanding towers.
The Little Grand Canyon trail is located within the Shawnee National Forest. Experience the easy 3.6 miles of beauty it offers as you ride your bike or hike these fun trails that meander past lush wooded canyons, riverside bluffs, songbirds, woodpeckers and deer; while hawks and vultures soar high above the cliffs. Explore towering rock walls, eroded sandstone canyons, craggy bluffs and moist bottom lands, too.
Located near the town of Ozark in the Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls offers arguably the best rock climbing in southern Illinois. There are roughly 60 climbing areas along the sandstone bluffs and freestanding boulders, each with multiple named routes on them. There are over 500 named routes in all. Most of the routes are 50-60 feet in height. The whole area sits in a very scenic glen. Most of the routes at Jackson Falls are sport routes, though there are a number of traditional routes, and a few areas suitable for setting up a top-rope. There are also many excellent bouldering opportunities here.
Lusk Creek Canyon is the most well known whitewater run in Southern Illinois. The creek starts out in woodland bottoms with relatively minor gradient but soon is surrounded by rocky hillsides and cliffs. These cliffs rise out of the water to heights over one hundred feet. After the canyon section, the cliffs recede and the creek is surrounded by forest for the final mile. Rapids on this creek are at low to moderate levels and are mostly Class II in nature. However, this is not a good beginner run. This creek flows through forests before entering the canyon.

Skip to comments.Hamas Declares Victory, Gaza Celebrates
Posted on 11/21/2012 1:02:45 PM PST by Eleutheria5
Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal announced in a press conference Wednesday evening that Israel "has failed in all its goals" in Operation Defensive Pillar, following the cease fire announcement.
"After eight days, God stayed their hand from the people of Gaza, and they were compelled to submit to the conditions of the resistance," Mashaal said. "Israel has failed in all its goals," he told reporters in a Cairo hotel.
Mashaal also thanked ceasefire mediator Egypt, as well as Iran, which he said "had a role in arming" Hamas during the conflict.
Arabs in Gaza took to the streets to celebrate the start of the truce deal, firing into the air and chanting victory slogans, AFP reported.
The celebrations began shortly after the 9:00 p.m. deadline for the ceasefire to begin, agreed in a deal between Israel and Hamas that was announced in Egypt.
Heavy celebratory gunfire could be heard throughout Gaza, and residents also released fireworks into the night sky, where Israeli drones could still be buzzing heard overhead. .....

Text of Ceasefire Agreement http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/162375
Has there been yet another leak of lethal stupid gas in the world? There is an unlimited supply, it seems, and they don't make pipes the way they used to.
I thought Bibi was smarter than that. I wonder what sword Hillary held over his head.
Israel should have never disengaged from the Gaza strip.
well, some of them are celebrating. a lot of them are taking a dirt nap, courtesy of the israelis.
Is Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal the erstwhile Baghdad Bob?
me too, I wonder.
All four sides are claiming victory!
Hamas, Egypt, Israel and Hitlery/Obama.
Not only are these people evil, sick and twisted; but they are also completely delusional.
Pray for peace, real peace.
All fourBoth sides are claiming victory!
Hamas/Egypt/Hitlery/Obama and Israel.
Compared to a total of 5 Israelis dead and 69 wounded.
Yup, that's quite a victory.
Hellary saves the day, eheheheheheheh. Is this the new gleeful narrative from the Left Scheme Media propagandists?
Guess Ambassador Stevens was simply SOL chumped by team Barry.
Hamas is always celebrating..I remember on 9/11 when they passed out candy in the streets to the kids when the towers fell..these are the vermin we are dealing with..I would have never agreed to a cease fire, especially after they blew up a bus in Tel Aviv..they will just stock pile rockets again, it will never end til every single one of those cockroaches are destroyed
Yup, Egypt thinks they won the last war too...they even celebrate it every year.
The proof that they did not win that war is the fact that Israel still exists.
Looks like Benghazi Experts, Obama and H. Clinton, have been successful in getting their terrorist enlistment drive off to a good start.
I think that when Obama promised "shovel ready" jobs, he was referring to mass graves.... they're coming.
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
So, when do the Peace Prize nominations have to be in?
It wouldn't matter if they killed the terrorists and left one person alive, they would still claim victory. All Israel has to do is wait until Hamas eventually sends another rocket over and then go smash them again.
Serves one purpose......Gaza reloads.
Anything short of total annihilation is a win for them.
Any news about the ship loaded with rockets that had left Iran and was heading towards the Red Sea? It was mentioned here, in FR, a day or two ago.
Jimmah C has been strangely quiet on this matter in recent days. Is the old man going soft on his anti-semetic interpretations or has some sanity creeped back into his inner gizzards?
This war will continue until one of us are eliminated.
Will Egypt now get their $400 million now for a couple minute peace? My daughter says( reserve volunteer) said the rocket and mortar fire hasn't stopped from Gazam and that was ten minutes ago so that's what 2224 Israeli time?
Real peace? I am reminded of that scene in Independence Day
"can there be a peace between us?"
"No peace"
"What is you want us to do?"
According to my psychic clock, he's near death. Can't think of any other reason the TODAY show wouldn't have trotted him out by now.
Charles Krauthammer explained it best (on Special Report):
Its one of the reasons that Hamas started this all in the first place. And they did with a barrage of 150 rockets, over several days before Israel retaliated. Why would they want to do that? Because Hamass strategic aim right now is to change is to institutionalize the change in their relations, their power. Two sources of the power. Number one, the weaponry, the new weaponry. They can actually hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. They shot a rocket that landed outside of Jerusalem for the first time in 40 years that has happened. So their weaponry is now sophisticated. Its stronger. But they also want to translate the new strategic relation by the change of the neighborhood. Turkey, which is a very strong pro-Israel ally for 60 years is now run by a moderate Islamist, who is extremely anti-Israel. He calls Israel a terrorist state today. Egypt is run by the Brotherhood, which as you know is the mother organization of Hamas, which is simply the Palestinian wing of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. And lastly, the Emir of Qatar dropped in a month ago and he left behind half a billion dollars. So theres are an array of countries. What is Hamas trying to do? It wants to translate the increase in strength to new agreements. Its demands are now for the cease-fire that Israel agrees not to attack again, to allow Hamas to build up its weaponry, and to pledge not to hit any Hamas leaders. And not to hit in the future any Hamas weapons or missiles, which means it would have a truce, it never will have a peace. It will have a truce; its called a hoodna. During which they will become extremely strong, develop hundreds of thousands of rockets that can hit Israel. Can hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and put 80 percent of Israel under its rockets. Israel will never agree to that. That is slow suicide. So, as long as Hamas is demanding that the offensive will continue. And if it keeps demanding it, as we heard David Lee Miller report beyond a day or two, there will be a ground invasion.
"Israel Announces Ceasefire"
Why am I not surprised? Israel's favorite game must be hokey pokey. They talk tough, attack Hamas a little bit and then pull out just when they are about to win.
Yes, Virginia, there REALLY ARE people stupid enough to believe that the loss of life, morality, and wealth is "good".
Do they believe they've mowed down all the rocketeers that are at least an immediate danger?
Stinks that they can't administer a fuller beatdown to the responsible parties. Still they are forced into playing world politics. For now.
All those Gazans sent to a virginful paradise. Aren't ya ENVIOUS???
"Do they believe theyve mowed down all the rocketeers that are at least an immediate danger?"
New ones will quickly take their place. Hamas and Hezbollah now knows the limits of Iron Dome and will be ready for a real coordinated attack if Israel decides it has to take out Iran's nukes.
someday they will have to take back that miserable little strip of land, if only to stop the continuous smuggling of deadly weapons designed to kill Israelis
Hillary and Obama have saved the terrorists again, so that ... they will now live to fight another day, meaning (according to the Koran) when they are armed with even more deadly weapons so they can "win" at their murderous aggression
The Dome worked awfully well, to tell the truth; and Israel has more hellfire than just what it dished out this past week. Gazans thinking "oh, this is it" will get rude surprises.
She threatened to flash him!
Real peace? I am reminded of that scene in Independence Day
"can there be a peace between us?"
"No peace"
"What is you want us to do?"
I just got a wiff of the stuff. Darrr. Obama is our saviour. Hurricane Sandy was all Bush's fault. If only he had signed Kyoto, hurricanes would have stopped happening. That they didn't is proof that global warming exists. Here, Obama. Redistribute my wealth. I don't need it. Darrr.
"The Dome worked awfully well, to tell the truth; and Israel has more hellfire than just what it dished out this past week. Gazans thinking oh, this is it will get rude surprises."
It's very expensive and Hamas knows it can grind Israel's economy to a halt at any time. They didn't even coordinate the attack with Hezbollah in the north.
That would work.
Gosharootie. Will they get free overland transport from Port Eilat, or will Egypt wave them through the Suez? I wonder what's in the rest of that cease fire agreement.
When do Arabs not "take to the streets"? They're always in the middle of the street.
When do Arabs not "take to the streets"? They're always in the middle of the street.
She grabbed his little dog and threatened to throw him in the river. "Not little Toto," shrieked Bibi.
No s@#$. Try driving down the street in Hebron, it's like a never ending, directionless parade. Chickens, goats, donkeys, toddlers, young married couples, entire families constantly milling about like it's their living room. And they move out of the way just enough to avoid being hit.
Anyone notice Hilary wearing green, (the color of the Pallirats) as well as Anderson Cooper and a bunch of other TV reporters fro the MSM wearing green jackets?
75 to 5 is a ratio that most military folk would consider a victory if the opposing sides had the same amount of troops....but Islam has a billion and Israel has a few million. Its like 300 or 400 to 1.
Israel needs to push everyone out of Gaza because everyone in Gaza is their enemy. .....actually they need to nuke Iran. Once they do that, everything else would be easier since supplies would lessen for the remainder of terroristic Islum.
Netenyahu better learn that time is not on Israel's side. Every day the enemy gets more technologically advanced and politically stronger.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Two bodies found last week in a secluded area of a rural park are those of two missing Iowa cousins, the Iowa State Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Monday.
The families of Lyric Cook-Morrissey and Elizabeth Collins have been notified of the news, Capt. Rick Abben of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Department said in a news release Monday afternoon.
Abben said the confirmation is the only thing that has been released to authorities; a full report from the medical examiner's office will be forwarded to law enforcement after testing is complete.
The girls' bodies were found around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday by hunters at the Seven Bridges Wildlife Area in Bremer County, Iowa, about 25 miles north of Evansdale, where the girls were last seen alive.
Sheriff's deputies walked through parts of the 125-acre park last summer during the search for the girls, who disappeared July 13, said Bremer County Sheriff Dewey Hildebrandt. However, the girls' bodies were found in a remote area of Seven Bridges that is not directly accessible by vehicles, and it's unlikely authorities looked there, he said.
"You know, clearly if we would have felt that there was a chance something was out there we would have organized some things and gotten some people together," he said.
RELATED: Officials confident bodies are missing Iowa girls
Their grandmother reported seeing them on their bicycles about 12:15 p.m. on July 13. Those bikes and Elizabeth's purse and cellphone were found about four hours later along a recreational trail at nearby Meyers Lake. Lyric was 10 at the time and Elizabeth was 8.
Seven Bridges has canoe access to the Wapsipinicon River and is a popular spot for hunting, fishing and camping, Hildebrandt said.
"There are people that use it," he said. "That's what gives me some hope that if maybe someone saw something, and now with this discovery, they'll come forward and provide the necessary information."
On Monday, Hildebrandt declined to release the 911 call from hunters who discovered the bodies. He said the recording is part of an active investigation.

It's Jack Sheldon's 80th birthday today. The trumpeter is unique among jazz musicians in having enjoyed a second career as an actor (Run Buddy Run), and as the iconic voice of "Conjunction Junction" on the children's television series School House Rock. For nearly 20 years, Sheldon traded quips with Merv Griffin from his seat in the trumpet section of the orchestra on Griffin's daily TV show. Here he is with Merv singing "I Won't Dance."
Sheldon came to prominence in the mid-50's with West Coast jazz artists Curtis Counce, Art Pepper, and Gerry Mulligan. Lenny Bruce was a sidekick too. Counce led what was deemed an anomaly during the heyday of West Coast cool jazz: a predominately black, California-based hard bop combo, one fueled by the crisp stroke of drummer Frank Butler. Sheldon shared front line duties with saxophonist Harold Land on the band's Contemporary recordings, Landslide and You Get More Bounce with Curtis Counce, while his own dates for Pacific Jazz featured Joe Maini, Kenny Drew, and Zoot Sims. Sheldon's natural gifts as a comic and cut-up tend to overshadow his excellence as a trumpeter and effectiveness as a ballad and blues singer, but his 1950's work is all first rate and unencumbered by his show biz persona. Sheldon also turned out some fine work at Hollywood nightclubs in the mid-60s that VSOP has reissued, and he made a masterful duo record with pianist Ross Tompkins for Concord Jazz, On My Own, in 1991. He continues to record with his L.A. based combo.
Sheldon's a survivor in more ways than one. As he attests in this footage from the documentary Trying to Get Good: The Jazz Odyssey of Jack Sheldon, he's battled alcohol and drug addiction, and he's happily outlived the rumor of his death that went viral earlier this year. Happy birthday, Mr. Sheldon! We'll hear his music in tonight's Jazz à la Mode.

In the last couple of weeks I've talked about some possible callups from the Barons, specifically Chris Vande Velde and Theo Peckham. Although the Barons will have some other good young options for callup, the most interesting player in the group is probably Jeff Petry.
Let me begin by saying I don't think the Oilers will keep Petry in the NHL to start the season. Tom Renney, right after being hired, said this about the young college man: "We have to make sure--even with a player who has been very impressive here--as more of an adult looking player here at this camp; Jeff is not an NHLer today. It's not the wrong thing for us to make sure he goes to Oklahoma City, so he can get a feel for the physical nature of the game. We can expect too much of this player who is so good in so many areas, and then three months from now we're saying 'what happened?' Well let's not go there."
That quote married to Steve Tambellini's stated goal of having prospects hit a specific set of stops along the way suggests Dan Petry's son is going to see some time in Oklahoma. Having said that, Petry is a mobile defender with the widest range of skills on the "bubbling under" roster. The team can address toughness with newly acquired Jim Vandermeer and Peckham, so depending on need Petry might see a callup sometime in 2010-11.
Petry's Desjardins' NHL equivalencies blossomed last season. Here are the numbers by year (age in brackets):
- 2-17-19 (20)
- 2-10-12 (21)
- 4-22-26 (22)
You might be thinking 22-years old is long in the tooth for a college prospect, but that in fact is a fairly typical age for that league (which is why sending 18-year old kids into the fray is perhaps unwise). We can see that Petry has sufficient offense to be termed a "2-way" defender when taking into account his defensive ability.
And it is those defensive sorties that he'll be working on in the AHL. Read and react, learning to pass up the big hit in favor of positioning, learning how tough it is to move motivated AHL regulars from the spot they've occupied and generally having the game slow down enough to play it well at speed. It takes some players a long time, and in light of the failed Taylor Chorney experiment I think the Oilers will be doubly cautious.
In the winter of 2009 I wrote the following: Petry is a big man (6.03, 200) with speed and mobility, works hard and can win puck battles. He's a plus passer and a workhorse, spending as much as 30 minutes a night on the State blue. The Oilers love him.
Two things have changed since then: Petry had a poor college season and then recovered with a very good one. And the Edmonton Oilers may have lost a very high draft pick (Chorney) to the chaos that is learning the position. As soon as Jeff Petry can quiet the nerves and the noises, as soon as he can stop be a "saloon doors" chaos defender in the AHL, he'll be in the NHL.
It could happen later this season.
August 05 2010, 08:08AM
I really hope that guys like Petry earn their job instead of being handed a job because of injuries. It just doesn't seem that throwing guys into the mix when they should be learning the game in the AHL has worked yet.
Definitely looking forward to seeing Petry make the show, but the whole Chorney episode (I still have hopes for him as well though) makes me nervous with regards to college blueliners.
On a seperate note, LT do you know if the oilers/barons plan on having Rob Hisey on the farm? Seemed like he played well when called up from Tulsa last year...
My limited and unprofessional review on Petry (based on watching him some games this season) was that he does bring a little bit of everything (a lot in some cases). He was aggressive, he was strong in front of his net, he had a nice shot, and he was a SPECTACULAR puck carrier (definitely not afraid to lead the rush). But I'm not sure if it's just because it works at the College level, or what, but I found he wandered around the defensive zone a LOT. Spending some time in OKC where there is less pressure to learn positioning and to find out what works and what doesn't at a higher level definitely wouldn't be a bad thing. Also, adjusting to over 2x the amount of hockey definitely will help as well, as I'm sure at some point in the near future, he could end up eating a lot of minutes if he ends up as good as he's projected to be.
Anyways, I'm pretty about excited about him.. almost as much as our top forward rookies. Hopefully he at least gets a few games with the big club this year. I would imagine he might get a few during TC, at the least, so we should get a little preview of what he can do at this level.
August 05 2010, 10:32AM
Petry looked a bit slow in some of his reads at Prospects Camp. He's a better prospect than Chorney -- who some were gaga over a few years back -- but he's going to need a full year in the AHL.
I'd rather see the Oil call up this year's version of Arsene than suffer watching another overwhelmed kid.

@ Lowetide,
Jeff Petry is eerly similar to Matt Carle.
Petry is one of those "late birthday's" but their stats are very comparable.
Drafted 2nd round 45th & 47th USHL points 42 & 45 Freshman year NCAA pts 24 & 25
Denver was stacked & Carle played 30mins regularly.
If Petry can become a top4 20-24mins & 30pts NHL'er that'd be fantastic.
82 Game schedule will be his toughest obstacle.
August 06 2010, 12:38PM
Thanks a lot for passing on your personal account of Petry based on what you saw, Racki. I really like hearing that stuff in person, as well as the regular scouting reports, as well! Awesome to hear!! (Just out of curiousity how do you get to all those games, or do you mainly watch them on television?) Me, I end up watching them all on t.v. except for the training camps locally...but one thing I haven't started doing yet is watching the college games.
Thanks again for another solid prospect report, L.T., keep up the great work!
