Reality show spurs possible changes to Georgetown County code
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
MURRELLS INLET, SC - Production continues on a new reality show set in Murrells Inlet. The show does not have an official name yet and the cast is based out of a home known as King's Krest.
Neighbors in the area have voiced concerns about the show, filed an appeal with Georgetown County zoning officials and started an online petition to try to keep the reality show from shooting in residential areas.
Warren Stedman lives a few doors down from where the cast of the not yet named show stays. Steadman believes the lights, cameras and production taking place at the home violates Georgetown County zoning laws.
"I believe the taping is a commercial enterprise in a residential neighborhood and it should have never been allowed" said Stedman.
An online petition was started by another Murrells Inlet resident. It claims that the reality show production violates zoning codes and that production should stop. However. county leaders said there is nothing on the books about video taping at residential properties.
"We are saying that the word filmed is not mentioned, whether non-profit or profit, it is not mentioned in the current zoning ordinance" said Boyd Johnson, Georgetown County Director of Building Official Planning & Code Enforcement. "It is just a group of people that rented this house and are living there."
Georgetown County leaders said they can not legally regulate the content crews record but council members and zoning planner hope to establish a set of guideline for filming.
We started looking at what other communities are doing in terms of allowing filming in their area" said Boyd. We don't want to cross the line and end up with something unconstitutional."
The zoning board is expected to hear Stedman's appeal in early September. Filming on the not yet named reality show is expected to be over by then. Johnson said once the appeal process is over then the county can move forward and establish regulations for any videotaping or filming taking place.

Brevard took the No. 2 match, 8-6, as Lindsay Hostetter (Livonia, Mich.) and Kayley Duval (Redding, Calif.) slid past Kara Stasikelis (Greer, S.C.) and Pierce Dillard (Simpsonville, S.C.). The third flight went to the 'Dogs, as Zoe Hartas (Sydney, Australia) and Eva Opala (Redziny, Poland) won a 9-7 match over Sara Douglas (Houston, Texas) and Merek Slagle (Hendersonville, N.C.).
Brevard (3-1, 0-1 SAC) won the top three singles points. The feature match went to Shaeffer, 7-5, 6-3 over Stasikelis, and the second flight point was Hostetter's, 6-3, 6-1 over Dillard. The No. 3 match was won by Duval over Hartas, 6-2, 6-0.
The fifth and sixth flight matches were the next to finish. The No. 5 point was Wingate's as Jennifer Nyman (Morganton, N.C.) fell to Alschlager, 6-3, 6-2. The No. 6 points also belonged to the Bulldogs, with Opala downing Douglas, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3).
With the overall match tied at 4-4, the No. 4 match decided the winner. Wingate won the point and the entire affair when Alberghini took a three-setter from Dixon, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2.
Brevard finishes off a weekend swing with a Saturday match against Queens. Wingate takes on East Carolina in their next match, on March 7.

text: agriculture and manufacturing have been stalling, while service sectors have been adding jobs. And that shift will be "cemented" by 2020, according to Nicole Smith, a senior economist at the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Smith is a co-author of a new study that identifies the fastest-growing industries and projects that the top five will all be in service industries, like health care and hospitality. Using state and national data, the report, co-authored by Smith, Anthony Carnevale, the center's director, and Jeff Strohl, the center's research director, projects that a total of 55 million new jobs will be created from 2010 to 2020. Twenty-four million of the jobs are expected to be newly-created positions. The rest are expected to result from retiring baby boomers. "If the U.S. Congress can deal with budgetary challenges, we are on schedule for recovery," Carnevale said in a press release accompanying the report. The catch, however, about all the new jobs is that there may not be enough qualified workers to fill the openings. According to the Georgetown study, five million of the total job vacancies will remain open throughout the decade as Americans fail to receive the proper educational and technical training. Here are the ten fastest-growing industries: 10. Private Education Services Total jobs in 2010: 3,450,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 1,420,000 Percent growth: 28 Find a job now in private education services. 9. Natural Resources Total jobs in 2010: 3,860,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 1,460,000 Percent Growth: 10 Find a job now in natural resources. 8. Transportation and Utilities services Total jobs in 2010: 5,520,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 2,080,000 Percent Growth: 13 Find a job now in transportation and utilities services. 7. Construction Total jobs in 2010: 7,370,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 2,760,000 Percent Growth: 12 Find a job now in construction. 6. Manufacturing Total jobs in 2010: 10,070,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 3,490,000 Percent Growth: 4 Find a job now in manufacturing. 5. Leisure and Hospitality services Total jobs in 2010: 12,930,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 5,100,000 Percent Growth: 18 Find a job now in leisure and hospitality services. 4. Health Care services Total jobs in 2010: 15,670,000 Total vacancies 2010-2020: 6,590,000 Percent Growth: 26 Find a job now in health care services.

FirstGov.gov Ranks First in Brown University Study of E-Government
September 23, 2003
Contact: GSA Public Affairs (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC—Brown University's fourth annual report, State and Federal E-Government in the United States September 2003, ranked www.FirstGov.gov the highest among the 60 federal Web sites and 1,603 State Web sites reviewed.
FirstGov.gov, the U.S. Government's Official Web Portal, serves as the government's front door to information, services and transactions citizens seek from government.
In particular, the report cited FirstGov for "including a whopping 62 services and giving users the option to receive e-mail notification from FirstGov when the website is updated." The criteria used in the studies are readability, accessibility, performance, online services, attention to privacy, and security of government Web sites. Based on a scale of 100, FirstGov.gov earned a score of 84. In the 2002 report, FirstGov.gov ranked seventh. Moving to the top of the index is a direct reflection of FirstGov.gov's responsiveness to citizen input, whether through e-mail, responses to an online customer satisfaction survey, focus groups, and usability testing.
Darrell M. West, Director of the Taubman Center for Public Policy at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, has conducted these studies on E-Government for the past four years. These reports have become a major factor in influencing the design and functionality of government Web sites.
The GSA Office of Citizen Services manages FirstGov.gov, the U.S. Government's official web portal. The office serves as the nation's front door to information and services American citizens require from their government. In addition to FirstGov.gov, Citizen Services provides citizens access to information in whatever medium they prefer—the web, e-mail, telephone, or in print.

Ingraham Need Not Look Further Than O'Reilly To Find "Hostility To Foreigners"
Guest-hosting The O'Reilly Factor last night, Laura Ingraham responded to former President Bush's recent statement [1] that nativism may be standing in the way of immigration reform by claiming that it's "ludicrous" to say opposition to reform is fueled by "hostility to foreigners."
What Ingraham may have missed is that Bill O'Reilly, the host of the very show she was filling in for, has repeatedly attacked immigrants. For instance:
O'Reilly wondered whether children of Mexican immigrants in U.S. "have any kind of traditional value system" or are "setting up Acapulco North." On his radio show, O'Reilly wondered whether children of legal and undocumented immigrants from Mexico who are attending school in the United States "have any kind of traditional value system at all, vis-à-vis what America used to be," or whether they are "taking their Mexican values, because most of them are Mexicans, and, you know, basically setting up Acapulco North." [The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, 8/15/06 [2]]
O'Reilly: "[Y]ou're on a nice block ... and then the house next to you is turned into an illegal alien Club Med." On his radio show, O'Reilly said:
O'REILLY: From the very beginning when I started covering immigration more than seven years ago, I told you this is about social engineering; and this country's whole political process is being changed by millions and millions of people pouring in here with a totally different lifestyle and a totally different frame of reference as far as America is concerned.
You've got the folks who don't have emotion invested in it, other than the farmers down and the ranchers down on the border are going -- as the lady just called up, [caller] -- say, look, I got garbage in my -- on my ranch every day. I mean, I'm under siege. They have emotion invested in it. But those of us up here don't.
Unless you live in a town, like Farmingville, Long Island -- we went over this before [3] -- where you bought a house, you spent a couple of hundred thousand dollars, you're on a nice block, your kids are happy, and then the house next to you is turned into an illegal alien Club Med. And this happens all over the country. [The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, 3/27/06 [4]]
O'Reilly claimed to have exposed the "hidden agenda" behind the immigrant rights movement: "the browning of America." O'Reilly claimed that Charles Barron, a New York City councilman, had revealed the "hidden agenda" behind the current immigration debate. O'Reilly told his radio listeners: "[T]he bottom line is Charles Barron said last night is there is a movement in this country to wipe out 'white privilege' and to have the browning of America." But in the interview, Barron at no point claimed that he and other advocates for immigrant rights are motivated by a desire to force white Americans into the minority -- despite O'Reilly's repeated efforts to provoke such an acknowledgment. [The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly, 4/12/06 [5]]
Ingraham herself wrote in her book [6] Power to the People, "Our national power and identity comes in part from our shared American culture and language. This power will continue to be eaten away if we don't stop the double-talk and defend our borders."
Maybe it's news to Ingraham, but asserting that immigrants are going to destroy America's culture absolutely qualifies as "hostility to foreigners."

An ambulatory surgery center is a health care facility that specializes in providing surgery, pain management and certain diagnostic (e.g., colonoscopy) services in an outpatient setting. In simple terms ambulatory surgery center procedures are more intensive than that done in the average doctors office but not so intensive as to require a hospital stay.
Any facility that meets the definition of an ambulatory outpatient surgical center found in Indiana Code 16-18-2-14 must be licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) on an annual basis. The ISDH monitors the health care quality of ambulatory surgery centers through the licensure process. ISDH surveyors visit centers for licensure inspections.

Linux Fest Northwest reprise
Whew. That drive from Felton-to-Bellingham-and-back gets longer and longer. But it goes without saying, of course that it's well worth it. The 14th annual Linux Fest Northwest was a success and while they take a break before getting ready for next year's event — April 26-27, 2014, at Bellingham Technical College — I'm going to make my reservation at the Hampton Inn right now so I don't forget.
A few parting random thoughts, cheap shots and bon mots:
Close, but no cigar: Bryan Lunduke, of "Linux Sucks/No It Doesn't" presentation fame (along with other hats he wears in the FOSS realm), wrote an article on Network World about how you should go to Linux shows. He is right: You should go to the nearest show to you, and his article is a definite read. I'll help Bryan out here by telling you to go to Texas Linux Fest in Austin (looks like I'll be there) on Memorial Day weekend, Southeast Linux Fest (SELF: Linux in the GNU South) in Charlotte in June, OSCON in Portland in July, and then Ohio Linux Fest usually wrapping up the year in September.
Where Bryan missed the mark in his article was here: "SCALE, itself, is similar in size to Linux Fest NW and is a solid destination, with some great speakers every year." Great speakers and solid destination? Check. But similar in size? Both shows have enjoyed a steady increase in attendance and participation for the last several years, which is a huge testament to the work put in by the volunteer-based organizations behind both shows. Further, the improvements made to Bellingham Technical College are nothing short of outstanding. However, Linux Fest Northwest doesn't enjoy the same advantages that SCALE has in being in a major metropolitan area based at a hotel located within range of a Matt Kemp home run from a major international airport. That said — and this is certainly not to take anything away from Linux Fest Northwest, which is a great show — SCALE is a somewhat larger show with around 100 exhibitors and more than 90 speakers. I'm not tweaking LFNW's nose, so to speak, I just wanted to correct this.
On the expo floor: Regardless of the show's size, it's always great to see new people and old friends. CrunchBang had the great luck in geography of being next to the main LFNW table, so I had a chance to catch up with Bill Wright and the other show folks at length. We also had the privilege of having the LFNW totem in the corner behind us as well. The attendance for the event was pretty high, and I would guess that it's around 1,400 judging by the degree of folks coming to the CrunchBang booth during presentations and between them. The steady stream of folks regardless of the time of day was a promising sign and speaks to the strength of the show.
Bellingham Technical College FTW: BTC has always been a great host for Linux Fest Northwest, and the improvements in the building this year — both in the classrooms and in the auditorium which hosted the expo floor — made the show go from great to outstanding. As a speaker, it was great to use top-notch AV equipment for which I didn't have to sacrifice a chicken to the projector gods for my presentation to work (NOTE: No chickens, or any other animals or humans, have ever been harmed in my appeals to any diety in allowing my presentations to work). The expo floor itself was spacious — at least on our side — and I didn't hear any complaints from any of the vendors about the show.
Et cetera: As you may recall from yesterday's blog item, I had the great misfortune to stay at the Econolodge this year. Next to the hotel is the Slo-Pitch sports bar, which has about 40 screens showing different sports (30 of them, I swear, were tuned Seattle Sounders football, er, soccer) along with food. Note to the cook: A tuna melt is given that name because it has a certain quality about it, like, what's it called? Oh yeah, cheese . . . . Thanks, OrangeFS, for the great swag — great as in lens cleaners for those of us wearing glasses, that is . . . . Great to see the following: Deb Nicholson, as always; Scott Dowdle and Gary Bummer, both coming in from the Big Sky country's Montana LUG; everyone at the Fedora booth (Robyn Bergeron, Ian Weller and Adam Williamson — a lot of distro/programming brain power in that group); Ross Brunson of Linux Professional Institute; Red Hat's Thomas Cameron and his three presentations; OSU Open Source Lab's Lance Albertson and his three presentations (OK, two-and-a-half); Bill Wright and all the other LFNW crew, who put together this great show; David Whitman of Hacker Public Radio, always keeping everyone informed; Owen DeLong, the pied piper of IPv6 who fills up rooms with those wishing to learn about the new Internet Protocol; David Nalley, albeit briefly; and probably several I'm forgetting (if I didn't mention you, it was good to see you but my memory is not . . . what was I saying again?).
How not to do things: Completely unrelated to the greatness that was LFNW this year, I encountered a personality who visited the booth who was new to this kind of thing (or so it seemed) and who is desperately in need of some attitude adjusting. That will come in a later post.
All in all, it was a great show. Thanks to everyone involved, and I'm definitely in for 2014.

BMW Breaks Monthly Sales Record in March with 191,269 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce Vehicles Sold!
The BMW Group sold more vehicles in March than in any other month in its history. The company sold a total of 191,269 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles in the past month, exceeding the previous all-time high in March last year (185,741 units/+3.0%). The company also achieved a new high for the first three months: Retail volumes for the year to the end of March increased by 5.3% to 448,200 units (prev. yr. 425,543 units).
Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management, Sales and Marketing BMW: "The BMW Group achieved an all-time high in sales last month and the best first quarter in its history, despite the headwinds present in Europe. Sales of the BMW 3 Series have contributed strongly to that growth and we will soon be expanding our highly successful 3 Series range with the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo. All in all, we are aiming for further growth in BMW Group worldwide sales in 2013."
With worldwide sales of 159,195 vehicles (prev. yr.: 153,016/+4.0%) in March, more BMW brand vehicles were sold in a single month than ever before. Sales for the year to the end of March reached a record 381,404 vehicles (prev. yr. 356,562), an increase of 7.0% over the first three months of last year. The BMW 3 Series had an excellent first quarter with 109,279 vehicles delivered (prev. yr. 91,138/+19.9%). Growth in the first quarter was also driven by the BMW X1, with sales climbing 27.6% to 37,680 vehicles (prev. yr. 29,535). Sales of the BMW X3 and BMW X5 continued to be solid through to the end of March with 36,189 (prev. yr. 35,249/+2.7%)and 27,274 (prev. yr. 26,563/+2.7%) vehicles sold respectively. Sales of the BMW 6 Series increased by 32.7% to 6,174 vehicles compared with 4,651 last year.
A total of 31,763 MINI brand vehicles were delivered worldwide to customers in March (prev. yr. 32,422/-2.0%) and 66,154 (prev. yr. 68,211/-3.0%) vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2013. The slight decrease in the first quarter is attributed to the four-week closure of the MINI Oxford plant for renovations at the beginning of the year. The all-new MINI Paceman, which was launched last month, is expected to boost momentum in global sales for the brand.
Rolls-Royce: Following record figures in 2012, Rolls-Royce motor cars delivered to customers in the first quarter were -16.6% (642) compared to the previous year. This is within the company's planning cycle, as the manufacturing plant underwent rebalancing and preparations for the start of production of the new Rolls-Royce Wraith. Sales in March showed an increase of 2.6% (311) compared to the same period in 2012, underlining the company's cautious optimism for another strong year in 2013.
BMW Motorrad exceeded the previous year's figures in the first three months of the year, thus achieving the best first quarter result in its history. Sales rose 1.5% to 24,732 vehicles (prev. yr. 24,373). A total of 13,067 BMW motorcycles were delivered in March an increase of 6.3% on the previous year (12,295).
BMW Motorrad is building a new bike with less then 500cc
The BMW Group made gains in many markets in the first three months. Solid first quarters in both the U.S. and China contributed to the increase in BMW Group worldwide sales. In the U.S., a record 78,957 vehicles were delivered, an increase of 4.3% over the same period in 2012 (75,729). From January to the end of March a record total of 86,070 vehicles were delivered to customers in Mainland China, an increase of 7.6% compared with the same period last year (prev. yr. 80,014). Other Asian markets, such as Japan (14,990/+7.2%) and South Korea (8,900/+16.9%) also reported solid gains in the first three months of the year. Strong growth was also reported by the Middle East markets, with 6,303 vehicles delivered (prev. yr. 4,936/+27.7%).
In the company's home market of Germany, a total of 63,675 BMW Group vehicles were registered (prev. yr. 66,214/-3.8%) in the first quarter. Despite the headwinds in the market, the company managed to gain segment share and now leads the premium segment in Germany. In Russia, sales jumped by 21.1% in the first three months to a total of 9,377 vehicles (prev. yr. 7,743). In the whole region of Europe, the company reported a slight increase, with 207,128 vehicles sold in the period (prev. yr. 200,954/+3.1%).

Photo Gallery: Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church
RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- Great excitement and hope pervaded through the multitudes who came to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday night in celebration of their new spiritual leader.
Bishop Gerald Barnes of the Diocese of San Bernardino presided over the Mass and spoke about the widespread enthusiasm for newly elected Pope Francis.
"There's been great excitement ... even from people who are out of our faith," Barnes said.
"One person asked, 'Why do they have to choose a Catholic to be pope?' That's just the way it is. "
The church, packed with parishioners from throughout the Diocese, erupted in boisterous laughter after the Barnes injected humor into the proceedings.
Speaking in both English and Spanish, Barnes said the faithful had a "sense a new hope."
While not specifically mentioning clergy abuse issues that have become widespread in the church, Barnes' sermon hinted at the problems the church faced, including public criticism and increasing secularization. "Maybe there's been a lot of criticisms about our church," Barnes said. "Maybe because in our parishes we're struggling. Maybe it's because in our families we lost the children that we've raised as Catholics who are no longer practicing. Maybe it's a lot of stuff that has been in us and we haven't had a chance to really see the other side of who we are and so the spirit presents us with this man named Francis, and all of us are feeling this excitement. "
The Rev. Benedict Nwachukwu-Udaku, pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, said he was among those who are excited about the Vatican's new leader.
"Today, the church is gathering here in Rancho Cucamonga to thank the good lord for this beautiful gift," Nwachukwu-Udaku said.
VeLores Thompson, a parishioner, said she was excited that Pope Francis has emphasized social outreach to the poor.
"I am thrilled we have Pope Francis," Thompson said. "I think the reason is his belief in serving the poor. "
On Tuesday, Pope Francis, 76, told tens of thousands of people who gathered outside of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome to protect the poor, each other and the Earth.
Francis said the role of the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics is to open his arms and protect all of humanity, but "especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important, those whom Matthew lists in the final judgment on love: the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick and those in prison.
"Let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment," he said.

Woodburning kiln emissions
Posted 16 February 2013 - 01:09 AM
Posted 16 February 2013 - 07:31 AM
I know there was a presentation @ NCECA in '05 or '06 that touched on it, and I feel as though I read something in CM or Studio Potter at one point, but Im coming up blank when it comes to specifics....
The NCECA presentation you mention might have been one that I did.
What exactly do you want to know?

Holy thread resurrection--sorry.
I was looking for particulate information, as well as carbon emissions in comparison to a similarly sized gas kiln
Posted 18 June 2013 - 09:27 PM
First of all..... WHO is firing each type of kiln, and HOW are they firing it? Those two factors alone can have a huge impact on "the numbers".
For example, in teaching situations I have deliberately taken a specific gas kiln and set it up firing in what would be an "appropriate" amount of reduction. Then I measured the levels with an Oxyprobe. I then had other people come in and observe the kiln VISUALLY for a while to "learn" the level of reduction happening using all the usual visual, auditory, and olefactory markers that potters tend to use for this. They could even see the reading on the Oxyprobe for that part. I then had them leave the room, and I mis-adjusted the controls to put the kiln into oxidation. I asked them each to then come back in and adjust the kiln VISUALLY to match the prior original condition (but no Oxyprobe available to them this time).
When they SWORE the kiln was set "the exact same way"...... I'd check with the Oxyprobe. The readings were ALL OVER THE PLACE. Some of these people were students... and some were facutly with MFAs and YEARS of firing experience. Some people's settings would have produced less CO and less particulate C ...... and others produced more. (Yhis is also what people often get "surprises" when they open the kiln.)
WHAT is the kiln design? There is another HUGE factor. Some gas kilns have very really lousy combustion systems on them and very poor in-chamber mixing. Others are "state of the art". Each would provide different answers for you... and STILL would be tempered by WHO is firing then amd HOW.
Some wood kilns have very efficient aeration and mixing...and some are literally still 15th century technology. Each would priovide you with completely different answers. There is a noborigama in Japan that has full industrial scrubbing........ fires as clean as a whistle.
To generalize (which makes this answer wrong in 99 percent of cases), PM 2.5 and PM 10 for a wood kiln is significantly higher than for a gas kiln. But on the other hand if you look at a 30 year cycle period, wood kilns are carbon neutral if replacement trees are being grown while gas kilns are greenhous gas producers.
Periodic studio type electric kilns are HORRIBLY polluting when looked at in the "big picture". They are NIMBY units when people think of them as "clean". They have a chimney.... it is located at a centralized power plant. Centralized electric generation and transmission is very lossy.... inefficient use of fuel. Coal is contaminated with mercury. Those types of kilns are typically underinsulated. They are also small and have large surface to volume ratios... so the heat energy used to heat up the kiln structure as a ratio to the heat energy used to heat the wares is TERRIBLE. I could go on.
Name your poison.

Name your poison.
Very lucid, balanced answer to a tough question.
The only thing I'd question a bit (I got into a discussion with a student about this the other day- so it's fresh on my mind) is the notion that wood-burning is carbon neutral if trees are replanted... (you could theoretically make the same case for burning natural gas)... but you do a nice job of acknowledging the complexities even there.
Is your 2006 presentation available online? I'd be interested...
Posted 19 June 2013 - 03:39 PM
Thanks for the nice words Justin and Kohaku.
Unfortunately no, it is not. NCECA videotapes or audiotapes all of the presentations (or it seems that way from the four that I've done over the years) but I have no idea what happens to them. They just seem to mostly disappear... other than the demo ones that eventually show up on DVDs for sale.
Yeah.... natural gas is pretty much also carbon neutral ........if you look at "geologic time" as the referent.
The complexity of the issue in accurately evaluating the impact of our firing operations is huge. Other factors that no one tends to think about includes various factors like.... if potter A builds a kiln with firebricks made in say.... Georgia. And potter B builds the SAME exact kiln with firebricks made in Georgia......... BUT potter B is located in California and potter A is located in Florida........ what is the carbon impact of the shipping of the heavy bricks (likely by truck) across most of the country?
Or... if Potter A fires an electric klin in New Hampshire and Potter B fires the same electric kiln in Oregon....... it is likely that the sources of the electricity used are balanced differently. Maybe Oregon utilizes more hydro power while NH uses more nuclear. So potter B is more "green" than potter A.
And the REALLY BIG thing in this whole "let's practice green pottery" thing that seems to be becomming a "fad" lately, and a HUGE focus of my NCECA presentation, was that compared to the OTHER things that most of us do in our lives, our pottery operations are likely a MINOR inmpact on the environment.
I did a detailed analysis of the fuel consumption and pollutant operation of the engines on the Boeing 747 (I'm a bit of an avaiation nut) and the same kind of analysis of the operation of my noborigama. I do not remember the exact numbers right now (I have them somewhere) but if I am remembering correctly it came out that I could fire my large wood kiln repeatedly in a year for something like 80 years on the equivalent of a single one-way 747 flight from NY's Kennedy Airport to Narita Airport (New Tokyo International) in Japan. (THINK about how many aircraft of all types are in the air around thwe world as you read this.)
If people (potters) want to REALLY be environmentally friendly.... don't switch from cone 9 to cone 6....... lose the gas guzzler car, insulate your house, walk or bike ride when you can, use mass transit, stop buying crap made in China and shipped accross the world, eat local produce instead of stuff shipped in from South America, and so on.
Heck... I even took a "shot" at NCECA on the big picture environmentally. Look at the massive environmental impact of all the potters traveling into the conference locations from around the States and the world....... and the support of them in the hotels and restaraunts and other places......... HUGE.

I'm not disagreeing with you or others; and without going too far afield, the balance sheet on carbon also has to include the jobs and businesses and livelihood of people that are benefiting from the air traffic, the conferences, the potters standard of living and such as that.
Yes there is a personal responsibility to be good stewards of our earth but that also includes allowing people to attain a reasonable/ equitable standard of living , which I believe is also be good stewards.
Just a different POV.
Posted 20 June 2013 - 06:15 AM
People need to be reminded that electricity (which usually comes from coal) is not clean - as you say: the chimney of the power station is just somewhere else.
Wood firing can actually be very efficient.

'Glee' launches new season with two-part 'Beatles Event'
Listen to music from the 'Glee' cast on iHeartRadio
"Glee" is showcasing the Beatles' songbook. The Fox series launched its new season Thursday night with the first of a two-part "Beatles event." Seven Fab Four songs were packed into the hour-long show, including "All You Need Is Love" led by Darren Criss' character, Blaine, in his proposal to Kurt.
Thursday's episode primarily focused on early Beatles songs, and also included performances of "Got To Get You Into My Life," "Help!," and "I Saw Her Standing There." Kevin McHale and Becca Tobin, as Artie and Kitty, sang "Drive My Car" and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," and Rachel, played by Lea Michele, led a performance of "A Hard Day's Night." More Beatles music is on tap for next week's episode.
"Glee's" new season is their first without star Cory Monteith, who died over the summer. The show did not address his absence in the premiere, but will cover the loss in the third episode.

From its beginning, Redlands has been known as a garden spot. Edward G. Judson and Frank E. Brown started their Redlands Colony in 1881 to develop the new area they named Redlands. A few years later, Frank Brown built the Bear Valley Dam and reservoir to provide what every garden needs - water.
In 1887, the railroad rolled into town and in 1888, the city of Redlands was incorporated. In 1889, the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society was founded. Citrus groves soon filled the area and Redlands' "patron saints," the Smiley brothers, arrived and set the tone for Redlands with the creation of Smiley Heights, their renowned botanical garden that was the Disneyland of its day. When their garden was completed in 1896, people - including three U.S. presidents - came from everywhere to enjoy and experience this Redlands horticultural wonder overlooking the citrus-filled community.
And then came the great freeze of 1913. For three days - Jan. 5, 6 and 7, 1913 - everything in Redlands froze. Icicles hung on the trees in many groves, and fruit, leaves and even entire trees were completely frozen. That winter of frost and cold was a catastrophe for Redlands' citrus growers and it was an economic and social disaster for the entire community.
So what did Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society do? Horticultural Society members held their first flower show in Redlands on April 19, 1913, and then in the fall added "classes for fruits which also deserve recognition" to their first fall flower show in Redlands on Nov. 1, 1913.
Helen Warner noted in the April 19, 1913, issue of the Redlands Daily Facts, "It would appear that the Horticultural association has only to make plans and Dame Nature does the rest. She has certainly responded right royally to the demands this spring and there is every reason to expect she will do as well for us in time for the fall exhibition."
Today, in spite of the great freeze of 1913, the Redlands community continues to enjoy its historic citrus groves and the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society's annual flower shows.
This year, Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society will present its 101st annual flower show with the theme "Concert in the Garden" plus a garden tour and sale of uncommon plants April 20-21 on the campus of Esri at 380 New York St., Redlands.
For a century, gardening enthusiasts of all ages have come from throughout Southern California to see the Redlands Horticultural and Improvement Society's flower shows.

The Scandalous Lies of Hope Not Hate (FrontPageMagazine.com) By Bruce Bawer 04/20/12)

The list reads, in large part, like an honor roll of courageous truth- tellers. In the U.S., people like David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, Ibn Warraq, Mark Steyn, Robert Spencer, and Andrew McCarthy. In Canada, Ezra Levant. In the U.K., Roger Scruton. In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders. In Denmark, Lars Hedegaard. And so on.
But no, this isnt meant as an honor roll. Its a list of individuals and organizations, too, among them the David Horowitz Freedom Center that, according to a new Counter-Jihad Report by a British group called Hope Not Hate, make up a nefarious network of Islamophobic extremists who inspired the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring-Breivik.
Its no coincidence that this report was issued to coincide with the beginning of Breiviks trial, which started on Monday. For the people at Hope Not Hate seek to draw an explicit cause-and-effect connection between writings by various critics of Islam and the atrocities of July 22.
One things clear: Breivik has been a terrific gift to those who, for whatever reason, have long been eager to shift focus away from the danger of Islam and to argue that its the criticism of Islam thats the real danger.
It hasnt been easy for these folks. Over the last decade, as a result of one brutal jihadist atrocity after another 9/11, Madrid, London, Beslan, Bali, Mumbai, etc., etc. Islam has been associated in the Western mind with bloodthirsty slaughter. Then, on July 22 of last year, a single man, acting alone, killed dozens of people, purportedly in the name of anti-jihadism. His actions provided everyone whod like to whitewash Islam with an opportunity to associate not Islam, but its critics, with savage violence.
To order Islamophobia: Thought Crime of the Totalitarian Future click here.
The people at Hope Not Hate didnt let this opportunity pass them by. So voilà, the Counter-Jihad Report, the implicit premise of which is that to be opposed to jihad is, by definition, not only a bad but a downright dangerous thing.
Not that the report actually addresses the subject of jihad no, jihad itself is left almost entirely out of the equation. Indeed, to read this thing, youd almost think that jihad were some fantasy cooked up by counter-jihadists in order to smear Islam.
I wont mince words: the report is a thoroughly repulsive piece of work. One repulsive thing about it is that it brings together the names of serious, respectable, and well-informed critics of Islam individuals and organizations that are profoundly concerned about the rise of Islam in the West because they recognize it as a threat to freedom and human rights with the names of neo-Nazis. Also repulsive is the masthead on this page, on which pictures of David Horowitz and Geert Wilders are juxtaposed with a photo of Breivik, in full faux-military regalia, aiming his gun.
In a sane world, such a juxtaposition of images would be more than enough to make it clear that Hope Not Hate is a despicable organization and that its report is not to be taken seriously. Yet this isnt, alas, a sane world. Issued only a few days ago, the report has already been embraced by the international media, and the formerly obscure Hope Not Hate is suddenly being treated as if it were a definitive source of objective information.
In Norway, for example, TV2′s coverage of the Breivik trial has included fawning interviews with a representative of Hope Not Hate and screen shots of that appalling masthead. (On the authority of Hope Not Hate, TV2 has labeled Jihad Watch a radical right website.)
TV2 isnt alone. In the U.S., MSNBC treated Hope Not Hates report as gospel. Heres how MSNBCs reporter, Kari Huus, began her story about it: Anti-Islamist groups and individuals like those that inspired Norwegian Anders Berhing Breivik to launch his bloody attacks in Norway last July are growing in number, reach and interconnectedness, according to a new report published in Britain.
Huus described the report as arguing that the 9-11 attacks by Islamic extremists provided fuel for counter-jihad extremists themselves provoking violence by individuals like Breivik. Note Huuss use of the word extremist to equate, in essence, the jihadists who murdered three thousand people on 9/11 with writers who have simply sought to clarify those jihadists ideology.
The Guardian, too, was glad to lend legitimacy to Hope Not Hates report. Its headline: Far-right anti-Muslim network on rise globally as Breivik trial opens. For the Guardian, the question of whether critics of Muslim inspired Breivik to murder dozens of people wasnt even a question: The international network of counter-jihadist groups that inspired Anders Behring Breivik, read the lede on Mark Townsends story, is growing in reach and influence, according to a report released on the eve of the Norwegians trial.
Hope Not Hates Counter-Jihad Report is, quite simply, a full- frontal assault on truth. Its Orwellian. It turns reality on its head. It takes on people who have spent years monitoring and alerting the public to a clear and present danger and represents them as constituting the danger. Meanwhile, the people who really are the danger all but disappear from the picture.
None of which would matter much, except for the fact that the mainstream news media are eating it up. They love this. Theyd prefer not to discuss Islamic terrorist networks in the West. And they definitely dont want to talk about the kind of soft jihad that leads to a man like Lars Hedegaard being put on trial in Denmark for criticizing Islam. Hedegaard has warned for years that Islam is a threat to free speech; the fact that hes now on trial for speaking his mind only proves him right. Yet the mainstream news media dont want to go near such uncomfortable facts; theyd much rather have an excuse to depict Hedegaard, and all those who share his concerns, as dangerous extremists.
If there were any doubt about the determination of some people to use the Breivik trial to demonize critics of Islam, Hope Not Hate has removed that doubt entirely. Just check out what a Norwegian blogger associated with the organization wrote the other day: The trial [of Breivik] is a lawful assize against the mass murderer of Oslo and Utøya, but in our minds it should be more than that: a tribunal to condemn the criminal thoughts that turned an insignificant young man into a mass killer.
Thats what its all about, folks: putting criminal thoughts about Islam thoughtcrimes, to use Orwells increasingly useful word on trial. The depressing news is that all too many members of the Western cultural elite, from the judiciary to the media, have proven themselves more than eager to join groups like Hope Not Hate in prosecuting the case.

Vincenzo Nibali insisted his dominance at this year's Tour de France could be easily explained as the Italian closed in on overall victory.
Only accident or illness can prevent the Sicilian from winning on the Champs Elysees Sunday after holding his lead through the difficult Pyrenean stages.
Nibali's current margin to second placed Thibaut Pinot is 7min 10sec, bigger than any winning gap since Germany's Jan Ullrich in 1997.
Ullrich, who later admitted to doping, won by more than 9min ahead of Richard Virenque, who would later be a central figure in the notorious Festina doping scandal.
Even Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour victories for the systematic use of the banned blood booster EPO as well as blood transfusions, never won a Tour by more than 7:47, something Nibali could better depending on how he does in Saturday's 54km time trial.
But the Italian said there is a logical explanation for his performances.
"For a Tour like this one it's a normal gap given how I've performed and how we (Astana) have controlled the race," said Nibali.
"With respect to Armstrong it seems very difficult to compare. I won the Vuelta (in 2010), I was third in the Giro (in 2010), then second (in 2011) and then I won it last year when I was also second in the Vuelta, so I've shown development and progress over time (he was also third in the 2012 Tour.
"I got here in great form with a great team who had prepared for the Tour with a lot of dedication.
"What happened in the past must be left in the past. I think I've always been frank and I don't think I've had any incredible performances on any day where I've blown away the field.
"Every day I've taken a few seconds, 20 seconds here, 30 seconds there, maybe a minute and that's been important in building my lead.
"The difference to my rivals is that they have had a good day when they've gained time but then paid for it the next day.
"Stages like these are hard, you have to manage the pressure, the race and also mentally it isn't easy. Someone who has a good day can pay for it the next."
Nibali also said the gap would not have been the same had the two favourites for the Tour still been there.
Reigning champion Chris Froome crashed out on the fifth stage followed by Alberto Contador, a twice former winner, who lasted until the 10th stage.
Nevertheless Nibali still insisted he might have won.
"I've had a great Tour, I've always been there in great form from the beginning to the end," said the 29-year-old.
"I've tried always to manage the stages and it's gone well.
"Had Contador or Froome been there I don't know if I'd have won but there would've been more of a fight."
He also pointed to his total focus on the Tour this year as a crucial factor - apart from the Italian National championships at the end of June, Nibali hadn't won a World Tour race yet in 2014.
"In the first stages I had managed to get a considerable lead from the cobbles (the fifth stage).
"Two and a half minutes (the gap to Contador) isn't easy on a stage like that. If Froome didn't have the problems he had it would have been a difficult day for him, too.
"But in the mountains it's different, although I showed I was in top form from the beginning to the end.
"Another consideration is that all season I was focusing on the Tour while other riders tried to be strong in every race, like Froome in Romandie or Alberto who had a strong team at the Dauphine.
"That's lost energy but for me the principal objective was the Tour. I also had a big victory margin at the Giro last year (4:43 to Rigoberto Uran)."
