Happy New Year! The Cosmic Story is definitely making a statement with the Capricorn New Moon falling on New Year's Day. The old year and our old story are now in the past and we need to create a new story. With Pluto joining the new Moon, our cosmic instructions tell us to give the great god Pluto the starring role. We often give Pluto (or the Greek Hades) a bad rap, making him the heavy who causes all our troubles.
Oh no, I've got a Pluto transit to my Sun! That's why things are so bad. We assign him all the dark, evil and twisted aspects of our own inner psyches as well as all the trouble the world dishes out to us. But that's not who Pluto is. It's hard being the Lord of the Underworld! At some point, every soul passes through his realm, carrying all those twisted desires. His is the force that contains and incubates them into new life. Without him, we'd be stuck on the surface of life, never experiencing the highs that are the other side of our lows.

In our binary world, we need both experiences to be whole. And things aren't bad because of Pluto. Pluto energizes evolution. It's our attitude which makes experiences bad or good. After all, Pluto is one of the gods of change, more specifically the archetypal energy of death, initiation, rebirth and transformation. It's our cultural and therefore personal belief that change is bad that makes Pluto the villain.
Pluto is one of the gods who helps us leave behind our patriarchal conditioning so we can become conscious agents of change. This is the initiation Planet Earth is going through right now -- can human beings become conscious agents of evolution or will we self-destruct rather than change? And with all this going on in the sphere of Capricorn's influence, the outcome of the initiation is that it's time for the human race to grow up, to grow in maturity and responsibility and stop acting like male adolescents -- I include women in this statement.
In our patriarchal version of adolescence, our being (the feminine) is swept away by our emotions (and therefore not to be trusted) and our doing (the masculine) is all about aggression and competition to be on top of the heap. The initiation we face personally and collectively is that we must become adults and learn to discipline our minds, understand and channel our feelings and dedicate ourselves to our spiritual purpose. We have to claim our spiritual inheritance and become co-creators of life. And we've set it up so that if we fail this initiation, the Earth herself just might kill us off.

Choose the perfect sleep pillow for a great night's rest
Uncomfortable pillows can make for sleepless nights. Get the support you need and the good night's sleep you deserve with a new sleep pillow from Kmart. Choose from a variety of different pillow fillings and densities to find the perfect place to rest your head.
If you're not sleeping well, you might not be sleeping on the right type of pillow. What you have under that pillow cover can make a big difference. If you sleep on your back, you'll want a pillow that's flatter so you can keep a neutral neck position, but if you sleep on your side you'll want a thicker pillow with more support to help fill the space between your shoulders and neck.
Bed pillows are available in a wide range of sizes, including standard, euro and king, but that's just the beginning. Another popular option is a body pillow. These pillows provide support where you need it, which is helpful if you need something to help relieve pressure from your knees or if you need some added support for your abdomen when you're pregnant. Once you choose the right pillow, you'll look forward to climbing under your comforter and resting your head every night.

- Design foundry: Font Bureau
- Source: Font Bureau
The Stainless® typeface is a fairly large sans serif collection, consisting of 35 different weights and variations. Featuring squared-off bowls, long ascenders and short descenders, it has a modern, almost futuristic feel that's appropriate for a wide variety of uses.
Stainless History
Designed by Cyrus Highsmith, Stainless grew from his idle sketches of a serif-less version of Dispatch™, a slab serif typeface he'd designed in 1999. As he progressed, it became clear he was creating a new typeface, not simply a sans serif sidekick for Dispatch. Stainless was released by the Font Bureau foundry in 2002. Highsmith asserts that he wanted to achieve "...functional or industrial kinds of lettering," and didn't rely on any single source for his inspiration. In an interview in the Spring of 2006, he said "I paid close attention to the white space between and within the characters. I wanted solid, compact wordshapes with a good rhythm. So they catch your eye."
The typeface's initial release was limited to 3 weights – ultra-thin, thin, and ultra-light. Its present size of 35 different typefaces came about over time with the addition of regular, bold and black weights, variations in each such as compressed, condensed, italic and extended, and various combinations of the different variations, such as compressed italics and compressed bold italics.
Although Stainless isn't simply a serif-less Dispatch™, the influence is readily apparent, and art directors and designers have found that the two work very well hand in hand, each complementing the other in different projects.
Stainless Usage
The Stainless typeface has a very distinctive appearance that makes it eminently suitable for identity work and branding; upon its release in 2002, it was chosen as the branding typeface for Premiere Magazine. The counters are open and very legible, making the font ideal for many purposes, including headlines and continual text in books, magazines and newspapers. It's also an ideal typeface for any type of display work, including advertising and packaging. Stainless can also be used very effectively as an identity typeface for organizational correspondence and other communications.

A healthy pregnancy with diabetes is a challenge, but consider this: Less than 100 years ago, before the discovery of insulin, many young women with Type 1 diabetes didn't even live to reach childbearing age. And less than 30 years ago, physicians routinely told young women with Type 1 diabetes that pregnancy was far too dangerous for both mother and child. Today, thanks to advances in diabetes treatment, plus improvements in medical care for infants, there has never been a better time for you to have a healthy baby. Insulin pump therapy is one of the options available to women today for managing diabetes during pregnancy.
Challenges of pregnancy
Pregnancy with diabetes presents a variety of challenges for you and your diabetes management team far beyond the routine morning sickness, fatigue, and strange food cravings experienced by many women who are expecting. The length of time you've had diabetes as well as the course of your disease influences the seriousness of medical risks during your pregnancy. For example, if you have mild retinopathy, it may progress during pregnancy. Your kidney status could worsen. Women with diabetes are at higher risk for frequent and severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) during pregnancy because glucose crosses the placenta to provide nutrition for the growing baby. The pregnancy state also tends to allow diabetic ketoacidosis — a dangerous condition usually accompanied by very high blood glucose — to develop quickly. Having a thorough medical evaluation prior to pregnancy is extremely important for determining your individual situation and management solutions. Good blood glucose control before and during pregnancy will minimize all risks to the mother.
Risks to the baby are also a consideration when a woman has diabetes. Most birth defects in infants born to mothers with diabetes are directly related to the mother's degree of high blood glucose at the time of conception. Infants of mothers with poorly controlled diabetes have an increased rate of congenital malformations of the heart, skeleton, and nervous system. Spontaneous abortion, or miscarriage, is also known to occur more often in women with high blood glucose. Additional potential problems include macrosomia, which means the baby is larger than normal for its developmental age, low blood glucose in the baby at birth, and respiratory distress syndrome.
Because the fetal organs are largely developed within the first eight weeks of pregnancy, which may be before you even realize you are pregnant, optimal blood glucose control before conception should be your primary goal. The good news is that if you can maintain normal blood glucose levels before conception and during your pregnancy, you can reduce the risks to yourself and your baby to those of women who don't have diabetes.
Prepregnancy planning
When you have diabetes, it's critically important to plan for pregnancy before conception. For women with no immediate desire to start or expand their family, that includes finding a reliable method of birth control to prevent an unplanned pregnancy.
If you would like to become pregnant within the next year, you should meet with your obstetrician to determine your overall health, stamina, and ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. Genetic counseling may also be beneficial. A diabetes educator can provide intensive education to help you understand the effects of pregnancy on diabetes, as well as work toward optimal blood glucose control for diabetes and pregnancy. Ideally, you should strive for near-normal blood glucose levels for at least three months prior to pregnancy. During this time, be sure to use a reliable method of birth control, and use this time to make sure you have the personal commitment, along with family support, to sustain you through frequent medical and obstetrical visits during the nine months of pregnancy.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
There has been alot of good information passed along here and my question in the beginning was why did i not gain enough torque to break the tires loose and appreciate all of the responses.
I believe that has been answered and the answer is because of my cam choice,comp ratio, and choosing to keep stock heads along with the close ratio 4 speed. The car sounds old school good and runs extremely well from 3k up which is a good thing that the original L82 didnot do well before.
I appreciate everyones input and suggestions and think i may just rebuild the 71 rectangular port big block 454 i have in the corner over the winter to L88 standards or better (with input from the folks here) and eventually swap engines.
So for the time being it is what it is and i will just try to fine tune what i have in order to get it running as crisp as possible for what it is. I am sure it can be cleaned up a little more by way of carb tuning, initial and advance timing along with headers and exhaust.
OK I didnt read every comment but here is my 2 cents worth,and if someone else said this then by accident Ill repeat it.
First thing I would do is to snatch intake dizzy and heads, bring pistons(every one of them) to TDC and measure deck height, this will tell u if the eng has to pulled or not,ok so lets say you find 0 deck and a reasonable c.r. piston.
Now youll know weather problem is in top end or not.
If deck is at or close to 0 and you have flat tops,then get rid of that cam,n choose another when u put cam in,time cam "straight up",this is not just aligning timing marks and if u dont no ,ask.
2nd thing I would do after cam ,is, get rid of heads n use somethig close to mid 60s c.c.
I think the carb is no problem for now,you may want to change this to a larger carb later,650 or so,although 50 c.f.m. are really not gonna make a lot of difference.
Your timing sounds right, I take it total (mech+ initial)is about 38 or so,of course check pointer when u time cam.
With 0 deck,flat tops,good cam ,ign initiated properly,and correct intake,this engine should make that vette go pretty good,headers would definetly be a big + too.
accolades to bogie,very,very knowlegable eng builder.
Hope this helps.

But I like the way you think!
|Just a thought: could you offset the close ratio transmission with different rear gears maybe?
|Get a new cam. Don't waste your time trying to fix what you have when it needs to be changed. For 100 bucks plus a few gaskets you can fix a lot of your problems. Then tune it. Then headers when you can and tune it again.
|I myself don't think the vacuum is going to get a whole lot better with the cam having 300° seat-to-seat duration. Headers would help a great deal, and so would advancing the cam 4-6° if you aren't going to change it.
Now, you do as you see fit- but there's no reason that you can't use both mechanical and vacuum advance w/that cam. Just so you know there are other options to a locked timing.
If you have a 218 degree @ 0.050" cam w/0.450" lift, it should be doing better than what you're seeing for vacuum. If you DO lock it at 36-38 or whatever (what heads do you have, anyway? lol), unless something else is wrong, the vacuum should pick up. If not, you aren't done yet!
I appreciate everyones opinions and help----as someone insinuated in an earlier post i have posted erroneous info and wasted you guys time that may be but it was not on purpose and i appologize for that!
All the most recent factual data is posted here now and it really looks like it doesn't change anything. I guess from all your opinions i will lock the timing down at 36 degrees, get a set of long tube headers and go to 2.50" exhaust pipes and deal with it. I am starting to think that with muncie 4 speed close ratio transmission and the above changes is probably going to be the best i can get with out pulling the engine down again and if i do that i might as well build a 383 which is not going to happen in the near future.
There has been a ton of $$$'s in this frame off rebuild all went well except trying to de-smog a 250 hp L82 and bump it to 375-400hp L82
Any other input will be appreciated and if not it is what is for the time being.
SBC Hyd. Rough idle, 283-400CI, good mid-range torque, OK for Auto w/street perf. conv. in 327-up CI, Power brakes req. 99590-1 Vac. res. system, aftermarket carb, int, & exh. advised.
Basic RPM 2200-5200
Cam use oval/drag Series grind # 3/4 Race 300-06 H
Dur. @ .050 218* 218*
adv. Dur 300* 300*
Lobe separation 106*
running clearance hot .000 .000
Gross valve lift .450 .450
Wouldn't be the first time the wrong cam was boxed and sold, because this cam would have much better vacuum than you're seeing- unless you have other problems.
I would at least check the lift to see what you really have, as long as you are sure who's cam it is in the first place. A lift of 0.450" will be 0.480 w/1.6 rockers. Possible that's what's going on here?

No burner vette street machine
Try this: Have the fly wheel refaced, then
Install new clutch and pressure plate and throwout bearing.
Have someone who knows what they are doing set the timing.
Do a compression check, and start thinking about worn cam lobes.
if the cam in your motor is the Crane 300-06H with .480" lift
it should be this lobe
If so it does not work with low cr, bad heads or restrictive manifolds
It does not get busy till 3000+rpm
bad choice for this motor
The car stinks of gas when you shut it off cause you have disabled the OEM charcoal canister fuel evap system. The aftermarket holley 600 carb does not have provisions for this fuel vapour evap emissions device. Should have kept the origional L-82 Q JET and used it on the Qjet/spreadbore flanged version of the Performer RPM intake manifold. The old 4MV style Qjets flowed 750cfm. You took a step back using a 600cfm carb on this motor.
Ya it changes things.
I am very familar with all the Crane cams past and present.
There is a inconsistancy in your specs.
That is an old "energizer" 3/4 race grind.
The .480" spec does not jib with 218@.050"
Crane has .480" hyd lobes with either 228 or 238 deg @.050"
Either of which won't have a lot of grunt below 3000rpm.
If low rpm grunt is a thing you wanted, you have the wrong cam in the car-
and the heads are killing it and the low cr is killing it.
Corvettes do not use a "log manifold" They use a ram horn style center exit
manifold on the corvette. The good (corvette) ones that make power have 2.5" exits not 2.25".
What is the actual crane part number of the cam in your motor?
Are you looking at the original Crane cam card or something written down?
The build sheet cr spec and the actual engines real compression ratio
very likely are two different things. The low cranking compression
is a good indicator of that.
From you idle vacuum it looks like you have the 238deg cam and a mechanical cr of 8.5:1 not more than 9.1:1.
you can fix this car but you first have to determine what you actually got for a motor and be willing to make some changes.
What you got so far, is not going to do what you want it to do.
|5 pages of posting and now the information changes. Maybe you should start over with telling everyone what your setup is all the way down to what size of tire and what fuel you run, I think it will be helpful to the people that have been trying to help you and hopefully still will.

The Great RPG Tournament: Elite 8!
(Winners in bold, upsets in red)
Rust Monster Region
1 Rules Cyclopedia D&D lost to 4 Warhammer Fantasy 2e
-The Cyclopedia's comprehensive playstyle was narrowly beaten by the sheer grit of WFRP.
14 Torg lost to 2 Pathfinder
-Torg's dream season ended to the OGL up-and-comer. Still, they should be proud of their run.
Black Pudding Region
1 D&D 4th Edition lost to 5 Hackmaster
-Despite running some complex offensive scheme and continually shifting all over the court, Hackmaster was just too adversarial. Our second #1 seed falls!
6 Thousand Suns lost to 2 Call of Cthulhu
-Thousand Suns met its match in a blowout. Revenge next year?
Grue Region
1 D&D 3.5 defeated 4 Two-Fisted Tales
-3.5 needed overtime to beat a pesky TFT crew, but beat them they did.
6 Swords & Wizardry lost to 7 Spycraft 2.0
-Spycraft has had some tough contest, but keeps making it through.
Flumph Region
1 Classic Traveller lost to 5 AD&D 1e
-One of the closest games of the tourney, AD&D barely squeaked this one out. CT's veterans have no reason to be shamed, though.
11 Squirrel Attack! lost to 2 Labyrinth Lord
-Squirrel Attack's Cinderella season ended here. Labyrinth Lord is picking up steam!
Let's see what our matchups will be for this round:
Rust Monster Region
4 Warhammer Fantasy 2e vs. 2 Pathfinder
Black Pudding Region
5 Hackmaster vs. 2 Call of Cthulhu
Grue Region
1 D&D 3.5 vs. 7 Spycraft 2.0
Flumph Region
5 AD&D 1e vs. 2 Labyrinth Lord
The competition continues to heat up! At this point, the title winner is anyone's guess (including mine!) Anyone still have a dog in this hunt?

I'll be happy with whomever comes out of the Flumph region at this point.
A lot of favorites have bit the dust! I can't wait to see the final four!
S&W had a good run. Be of good cheer! :)

Oh disaster. Call of Cthulu is the only team I have left standing. They better take it all the way!

The Rules Cyclopedia was robbed! Robbed I tell ya! :D
- March 25, 2009 at 5:50 PM
- Zachary The First said...
I know some of these are tough pills to swallow. If anyone's bracket isn't a burning shambles, I'd like to know how!
- March 25, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Greywulf - why? Just because the RC team suddenly and mysteriously came down with the plague-like symptoms right before gametime, and had to be quarantined? Nothing suspicious about that... Nothing at all...
Interesting - if I'm reading the brackets right, this means we won't have an all-D&D final.
I'm pulling for WFRP for the win, but can anyone stop the juggernaut that is D&D 3.5?
- March 25, 2009 at 10:04 PM
- Zachary The First said...
Just FYI, Rust Monster winner plays Grue winner. Black Pudding and Flumph winners play.
- March 25, 2009 at 10:40 PM
- Ryan said...
It's a good thing for all these other games that Ninjas & Superspies was barred from competition after that steroid/cybernetics scandal last year.
Dang, I had money on the RC. Should have gone with WFRP2...those damned Fortune Points.

Growth of farmer's market bearing fruit at First Mennonite
Jeanne Frank was sitting in a Sunday school class in the summer of 2009 when Kim Kelsey presented her vision for a farmer's market to become an outreach for the First Mennonite Church.
"I was sitting in Sunday school when she presented it," observed Frank. "She said that she would love to have a place in Berne to provide a place for gardeners, crafters and artists. She saw it as a place to serve the mind, body and spirit in the name of God."
Frank sees the market, which opens every Saturday morning in the parking lot beside U.S. 27, as a way to provide healthy eating to the local community food that has been grown locally and processed locally.
"Consumers like to know who grows their food such as lettuce and honey," commented Frank. "Many markets are placed in prime retail space in the center of town. In our case, the geography of the clock tower and the Mennonite parking lot is of real benefit to us. This draws a lot of attention to people driving through town.
According to Frank, markets will continue through mid-October on Saturdays for 8 a.m. to noon.
Last year, over 50 different vendors came to the market over a period of time. Frank noted that different people brings different products or plants on any given Saturday morning. She noted that the total figure of income for all vendors collaboratively last year was over $20,000.
"I am so excited to see that this little market in the parking lot of the Mennonite Church bring in $20,000 from the people of our community," Frank said.
"We are excited about things going on at the clock tower this summer," continued Frank. "We would like to coordinate the market as another activity close to the clock tower. Vendors can set their own prices and earn a fair dollar.
Vendors can allow customers to support organic farming for the growth of their products."
Frank said that organizers of the market are hoping that it will help keep dollars local and stimulate the local economy. She sees it as a nice place to bring the community together on Saturday morning, complete with an area to visit and enjoy coffee and cinnamon rolls.
"Spaces are free; the vendors don't have to pay anything for space. The only cost is if the sellers need canopies or tables," commented Frank.
Frank said that she is planning to attend regional seminars to take a look at new ideas and techniques for markets. She has already attended a seminar directed by Purdue University at Fort Wayne.
"Amish dealers come and find this really interesting," Frank said. "We see sales involving local growers and local groups such as church, local clubs and other surrounding groups.
"It's a real opportunity for volunteers to come and help out," added Frank.
"We have had a good relationship with the local health department," observed Frank. "Our team provides ideas and input to try to make the market a better place. We are always open to ideas; if you have a suggestion, don't hesitate to say anything to us."
Generally speaking, the market includes highlighted artists, used books, community tables, vegetables, flowers, fruits and brochures containing special information about Berne. In addition, youth groups and other organizations utilize the sale to raise money through selling waffles and other goodies.
Frank sees the market as giving area residents the opportunity to experience a market atmosphere. It is also open for those who might like to try a new item, make new friends or become re-acquainted with old friends, enjoy music on occasion and get into the sun and enjoy the fresh summer air.
"It's so cool to see local efforts thriving," Frank said. "I would like to see the arts grow in our community. It's really fun to work weekly with other volunteers. When I go home, I am so excited. I am energized and ready to have a great time."

From Paul Bunyan to Weyerhauser, this is the definitive portrait of logging in America.
America is a nation defined by natural resources. The image of the inexhaustible bounty of the land has survived to the present day, despite countless examples of our dwindling natural wealth. Perhaps more than any other industry, logging embodies this dichotomy.
TIMBER! is a definitive portrait of one of America's longest lasting industries. Sawmills were among the very first industrial buildings built in America, and today we process millions of board feet a day. Yet there is a price for this bounty; the seemingly endless forests are threatened, and controversy has sprung up around the ongoing practice of old growth logging. Here, industry insiders detail how they are responding to the challenges they now face, from advanced use of previously scrapped materials to aggressive re-planting that will ensure the survival of logging into the next millennium. And explore the stories of pioneers like Frederick Weyerhauser and Owen Cheatham, as well as legendary characters like Paul Bunyan.
Filled with rare footage and expert interviews, TIMBER! is a riveting look at one of the nation's oldest industries and how it is preparing for the future.

Little Changes That Make You Healthier!
Once you find out what they are, you'll feel better in a big way!
By Macey Hall
Fix it! Try Your Best to Get 8 Hours of Sleep When You Can.
Here are some tips that can help:
Switch to decaf drinks after 4p.m., since caffeine stays in your body for six hours.
Exercise a little every day. Even small bursts of physical activity, like dancing around your room for ten minutes after school, can help you fall asleep easier. (Do it at least a few hours before bed so that you dont rev yourself up too much!)
Disconnect yourself. When youre ready to go to bed, turn off your phone and computer so that youre not tempted to keep checking for texts or emails.
Dont stay up super late on weekends. You may think sleeping in will reverse the damage, but not sticking to a sleeping schedule just confuses your body and makes it harder to sleep the next night.
Avoid falling asleep with the TV on. The light from the TV stimulates your brain and prevents you from getting the good, deep sleep your body needs. So if you must use it to fall asleep, set the sleep timer on the remote, so it automatically goes off after an hour or so.

This album is full of catchy melodic rock songs lent an air of soul thanks to the lead singer's awesome voice. Shingai Shoniwa is a great front-woman with a fresh voice.If their latest single 'Don't Upset the Rhythm' is anything to go by the Noisettes will be as popular as they deserve to be by the end of 2009... anyone listening to their newer material should definitely check their debut out too!

in bloom - men's shirt to toddler dress

i originally had envisioned a boat neckline, and had sewed it that way. unfortunately, my little one was too small to keep it on her little shoulders - bad measuring on my part, so i waited it out for the solution to come to me. at first i tried adding the adorable yellow button to the cap sleeve to take it in a bit, but no luck. finally, last night while watching the worst made for tv movie ever (they seem to bring me inspiration) i decided to add another layer to the neckline and put in an elastic casing to just close things up. it did the trick!
the flower applique is amy butler and i just couldn't resist adding that little yellow button to the center of the flower and to the hook on the front pleat of the dress. to finish things off i sewed in a dainty, yellow ribbon to add a bit of colour to the back of the dress. perfect for summer, light and airy - she loves it and looks adorable in it. bonus for me is it's one less stained shirt in the donation pile :)
if you haven't tried one of these men's shirt transformations yet give it a whirl. they are loads of fun and super addicting. if anyone is wondering where to find a tutorial for one of these dresses, go check out dana's at made. if you are interested in a tutorial for this one, let me know, i just may be able to whip something up even with my newbie sewing skills to help you along.
have you made one yet?

Please, please make a tutorial! I would love to make one of these and am a newbie to sewing. Can't even imagine how to make this on my own.ReplyDelete
I would absolutely love a tutorial to this! It's fantastic.ReplyDelete
ohhh!!! is perfect!!! i love it!!! ;) from spainReplyDelete
I linked to this - and the pants! - on my weekly link round up. Hubs is a farmer and doesn't have dress shirts to spare, but I bet I could find a good one at the thrift store. Thanks!ReplyDelete
PS - could you stick a comment on here if you do a tutorial of sorts on this (or the pants!)? I subscribed to the comments and would love to see a bit more on how you did it.

You're a genius!! This looks amazing; I love it!ReplyDelete
I think I'm gonna try those ypga pants, too. super cute:) Thanks!
- Amys IntowishinJuly 10, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Fantastic pants! Love it!! You mentioned their might be an easier way to close up your seams in the front and back of the waistband. Here it is:ReplyDelete
1. When sewing the inseam to the elastic area, unfold your elastic pocket & sew all the way up.
2. Then fold over, or double fold, and sew straight across the top, with room for your elastic pocket leaving a small space on the inside of the garment.
3. Add elastic.
4. Continue to sew along your elastic pocket line, to create a more 'seamless' look!
Hope this helps! Love.
thanks so much for yours and Danas inspiration and expertise. I loved doing this...still have a long way to go but loved experimenting and practising. next are your pants to try!
Bron - They are so much fun! I hope you give it a try, they are addicting! Let me know if you end up making one.ReplyDelete
OMG!! This little girl is just ADORRRABLE!!ReplyDelete

Michael Snow
Canadian, b. 1929
Noon and Skirt, from the Walking Woman Series, 1964
enamel, oil, cloth, graphite on canvas
152.3 x 51 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Foundation
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Noon and Skirt reflects a range of influences—from Dada to Pop Art to modern abstract painting—that the Toronto artist Michael Snow was drawn to when he began producing the Walking Woman series in the early 1960s. In this familiar body of work, a striding female figure in profile, often with hands and feet cut off, is used as an arbitrary constant from which the artist investigates formal issues related to perception and painting. Snow produced hundreds of versions of the silhouette, as paintings, sculptures, wallpaper, and in film. At the same time, the figure's serialized typicality provokes questions about the confines of a certain type of feminine identity in the post-World War II era.

This tutorial shows you how to write ANSI-Style inner joins with the INNER JOIN keywords. Included are a general description, some syntax examples and a comparison between inner and cross joins.
Note: In MySQL the join keywords JOIN and CROSS JOIN are synonymous with INNER JOIN. That means: All example statements found in this article work fine when you replace INNER JOIN with JOIN or CROSS JOIN.
Here are syntax examples for the impatient. Basically, ANSI-style join conditions can be specified with two different keywords: USING and ON. Take a look at the following examples:
-- inner join with USING clause SELECT * FROM <firstTable> a INNER JOIN <anotherTable> b USING(<columnName>)
-- inner join with ON clause SELECT * FROM <firstTable> a INNER JOIN <anotherTable> b ON a.<someColumn> = b.<anotherColumn>
Now we should take a closer look at inner joins to understand what they really do.
Probably the most common join operation MySQL supports is an inner join. It identifies and combines only matching rows which are stored in two related tables. A join condition, which indicates how the tables are related, is added with the keywords ON or USING :
- ON is used when the relationship column has a different name
- USING is used when the relationship column has the same name in both tables
Take a look at the examples:
-- INNER JOIN with ON clause SELECT * FROM tableA a INNER JOIN tableB b ON a.someColumn = b.otherColumn
-- INNER JOIN with USING clause SELECT * FROM tableA a INNER JOIN tableB b USING(columnName)
Inner Join vs Cross Join
In MySQL, the keywords CROSS JOIN and INNER JOIN are synonymous. ANSI SQL defines a CROSS JOIN as a join without a condition which builds the Cartesian product of two tables. In that case, MySQL combines every row in the left table with every row in the right table and returns the result set.
-- inner join without a condition: cross join SELECT * FROM <firstTable> CROSS JOIN <anotherTable>
When you have to build the Cartesian product of two tables, use the CROSS JOIN keywords to indicate your intensions. It makes it easy to read your statement and of course, keeps your code more portable.
Inner Join vs Outer Join
The major difference between outer and inner joins is: an outer join is able to identify rows that were not matched by any row in the joined table. Therefor, if you're searching for rows from tableA that have no related entry in tableB at all, you have to use an outer join. Please see the tutorial about outer joins for a more information.
More than one join
It's also very common to add more than one join to a single statement. There is no special syntax required. You only have to write a second (a third, and so on) join:
-- more than one inner join SELECT * FROM tableA a INNER JOIN tableB b ON a.someColumn = b.otherColumn INNER JOIN tableC c ON b.anotherColumn = c.nextColumn
Inner Join with comma operator
An inner join can also be written with the help of the so called comma operator. Please read the dedicated tutorial about writing inner joins with the comma operator for more information.
You can host your MySQL projects on regular web hosting packages or a dedicated server. Nowadays, all of them should support inner joins.

Kristen and Rabecca were fantastic. Their customer service was excellent, both of them were very personable, and the ride was very relaxed and enjoyable. I probably spelled both of your names incorrectly, so I apologize, but thank you for a great time!
It is difficult to reach them to schedule a ride, but worth the wait.

It was a beautiful ride
|Jun 28, 2013 Shirley California, United States
Being allowed to ride through the beautiful green meadows was a wonderful experience. As advanced riders, we were free to go at our own pace, canter as much as we liked and even jump the cross country jumps. The staff was pleasant and the horses were perfectly behaved and well cared for. While some people may feel limited by not going out on mountain trails, for those who love to ride no matter where they go, this is a fun time. They even recommended we reschedule our initial ride since it was too windy that day and they were concerned that we wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
|Jun 27, 2013 Janet Nevada, United States
The guide was very friendly:)
THe horses were beautiful and perfect for a first time rider. We have been a few times and would have liked our horse to be more responsive. Also riding just around the fields was kind of boring.

For an irreverent overview of Bakshi's version, you may also wish to click here.
Bakshi's version seems to wear the late 70's pretty heavily. Do you think the same can be said about Peter Jackson's trilogy--that is, does it reflect the time and culture in which it was filmed?
7 comments:
- Stuart said...
Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings was probably the single biggest influence on our approach to D&D when we first started back in '83. I still think it's a fantastic movie and definitely worth watching. :)
- May 14, 2009 at 8:44 AM
- James Maliszewski said...
I definitely have a fondness for Bakshi's movie, even if I have a lot of complaints and quibbles about its actual execution. Like Jackson's more recent efforts, it's definitely flawed and very much a product of its time, but I can't help but feel that, on a dramatic level, its intentions were "purer" than the live action films.
- May 14, 2009 at 10:13 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@James: Purer in regards to fidelity towards the original literary work, you mean?
- May 14, 2009 at 10:43 AM
- Gleichman said...
Movies always reflect the time period it was made in, and the people who make them. It's just a matter of degree.
Jackson's over-use of the the undead army is a great example of this. But that' the person and not the time.
Other than special effects however I don't seem much that links it to the release date (the special effects will of course).
But then again, what about the 70s do you see in the Bakshi version>
- May 14, 2009 at 12:20 PM
- Zachary The First said...
Aside from the animation, which would obviously be different compared to the style period, I think there's a lot more hair than there would be today. Hairstyles are different, and I think some gestures and items included (such as Sam and Frodo having a "moment" together when Aragorn is telling his story around the campfire) definitely would be re-done.
But you're likely right.
I do Tolkien fans in 2030 will be able to see in a much clearer light the affectations that movie takes from to 2000s-timeframe.
- May 14, 2009 at 12:38 PM
- James Maliszewski said...
@James: Purer in regards to fidelity towards the original literary work, you mean?
To some extent, although Bakshi also deviates from the text too. I was thinking more in the sense that the cartoon somehow feels more like it's just a movie rather than a colossal exercise in special effects and marketing, if that makes any sense. It's a much "smaller" film and somehow that appeals to me.
- May 14, 2009 at 1:03 PM
- Welleran said...
Despite the obvious changes from the text, I believe Bakshi was much more true to the original work than Jackson was. Bakshi's changes are largely omissions of events (Old Forest, etc) rather than outright changes, though he, too, simplified things by eliminating characters (Erkenbrand, Glorfindel, etc.).
One thing that bugs me about Jackson's version is that he falls into the standard trap of modern mvies and tv where only the main characters can move forward the action. Thus, Treebeard is a doddering fool and only the Hobbits can push him into action (the written version of this is subtle; Jackson's is like a club); only Pippin can light the beacons while Denethor sits and acts like a twit and the people of Gondor do nothing (in the book Denethor at least tried to defend his city until finally the strain broke his mind). Anyway, the point is that Jackson has a aprty of superheroes in a sea of mediocrity and stupidity setting everything right - it is the movie equivalent of a D&D game where the world is completely sterile except where the party travels.
Sorry for the rant, I am in Kazakhstan and jet lagged!

Eating better is something most of us have committed to at one point or another in our lives, but sticking with it is another story. We all know fruits and vegitables are good for us and that it is recommended that we get multiple servings daily. Unfortunately, if you are a typical human being, what we ought to do and what we should do are at opposite ends of the spectrum, especially when it comes to eating a delicious pizza or a salad.
Finding it right
Arguing that fruits and vegetables are as satisfying to the taste buds as all things sweet, salty, and fried would be a losing battle. So, maybe if we take a look at the benefits of eating more healthy foods, and some ways to make them more fun, we can reshape how we make food choices. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins and minerals that prevent chronic disease, stroke, cardiovascular problems, and cancer; and strengthen our immune system. While there are multivitamins and supplements that give us some of the same nutrients, doctors recommend that we get most of them from food. You can look to supplement with products like FBCx to decrease appetite naturally.
Use your time right
A solid guideline as to whether or not we are eating enough variety of fruits and vegetables is to think in terms of color. The greater the variety of color in your diet, the better you are doing. Plus, all fruits and vegetables offer different health benefits and nutritional content. Fiber rich choices include beans chick peas and artichokes. Folate is found in cooked spinach, black eyed peas, and asparagus. Potassium is found in high content in tomatoes, sweet potatoes, cooked greens, and carrots. Vitamin A is found in pumpkin, carrots, turnips, cantaloupe, and red peppers. Vitamin C is found in broccoli, pineapple, brussel sprouts, mango, and oranges. Yacon syrup is a great natural alternative to sugar. We recommend checking out our friends at the local utah seo company www.upprcut.com
Now that you know what you should be eating, we can take a quick look at how to work more of these nutrients into your diet without turning you into a rabbit or a full on health nut, if that is not your style. Some great pointers include putting fruit on your pancakes or in oatmeal for breakfast, adding lettuce and tomato to a sandwich, eat veggies and dip or hummus as a snack, top ice cream with fresh berries, order a fruit cup or a salad instead of fries, top a baked potato with salsa adding tomatoes instead of sour cream, if you have kids let them choose their own fruits and veggies at the market, go apple picking in the fall and find the variety you like most, make banana or pumpkin bread instead of cookies, load your pizza with veggies, apples and bananas go great with peanut butter, make fruit induced smoothies in hot weather, mix fruit with Greek yogurt for a protein rich snack, and keep cut fruit and veggies in the fridge ready for quick snacking- a snack you do not have to prepare is that much easier to choose.

Sebastian Vettel claimed the victory in Bahrain ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean while Paul di Resta was fourth...
Red Bull:
Sebastian Vettel: "It was good fun at the beginning with some very tight wheel to wheel racing. At the start you don't know if you will be quick or not, as everyone is a bit all over the place, including yourself! It's important to get to the front; we saw at the last race that if you get stuck behind someone then it does have an impact on tyre wear and today it was important to make use of the tyres we had saved from qualifying yesterday. I love to be in clean air, so I was pushing hard to get into the lead and, with the speed we had mid-race, it was quite comfortable today. Well done to the whole team, to everyone here, to the factory in the background and especially to those who were working on the strategy today; it worked just as we expected, so we obviously got the numbers right."
Mark Webber: "The beginning wasn't too bad, but we lost quite a bit of time in the second stint trying to clear people. We went aggressive on the first few out laps, which meant we jumped people, but the tyres didn't like it. That meant the second stint was a disaster really in terms of pace at the end and that loaded the other two stints up. In the middle of the race I thought I could get on the podium, but then it was about pace management and it's a fine line between racing and saving tyres. Others pitted a bit before me at the end, but it wasn't enough for me to get home. If you race people hard then you run out of tyres, but if you don't then they come through. In the end it was a pretty good battle with Lewis for both of us; neither of us had any tyres left, but we were trying to race as best we could."
Lotus F1:Kimi Raikkonen: "You're never really happy if you don't win, but I suppose second place is as close as you can get. I drove to the maximum and the car had the pace that we missed in qualifying yesterday so it was a pretty good result. We didn't have the speed to challenge Sebastian [Vettel] today but we did have the pace to get both cars on the podium so I'm happy for the team."
Romain Grosjean: "It's great to be back on the podium and it's a fantastic result for the team. It hasn't been an easy start to the season for me, but we made good progress through the weekend and are now back to where we should be. I felt much more comfortable in the car and the result today is a deserved reward for everyone after all our hard work. It was a really enjoyable race with a lot of overtaking and a couple of tense moments along the way, so to come from P11 through to the podium is really satisfying. We've had consistency already, finishing every race in the points, but now it's the big results we're chasing and this is a very good start to that challenge."
Force India:
Paul di Resta: "It's great to round off the fly-away races with a fourth place and a race that was probably my strongest Grand Prix. The podium was very close, but with our strategy we were always going to be vulnerable at the end of the race - especially to Grosjean who had two new sets of medium tyres. I had a good start to the race, a strong opening stint and we showed our true speed today, but ultimately fourth place was the maximum that was possible. We will get on the podium one day, hopefully soon, but for now we can be very happy with the points we've scored today. A big thanks to the whole team because it's been an excellent weekend and I feel we managed to get 100% out of the car."
Adrian Sutil: "It's disappointing to get a puncture in a race that looked so promising. My start was clean and I was racing Massa going into turn four. I was on the outside; I gave him a lot of space but he was off-line and made contact with my front right tyre. I don't know what he did exactly but I had a puncture immediately. I had to pit and lost a lot of time, which ended my chance of scoring points. I had amazing pace in the race and I just kept my head down to try and recover something from the race, but I had lost too much with the puncture. But I'm happy for the team and fourth place for Paul gives us more points. There are many more races to come so we will keep focused and next time score points with both cars."
Lewis Hamilton: "I'm really happy with our result today. It's been a tough weekend for us but we got through it and finishing in fifth place was some good damage limitation. My race didn't start well at all. I was looking after the tyres but I really struggled on the first two stints and was falling back. But as the temperatures dropped, the car picked up and then I had the grip that I needed to push and close the gap. I had so much fun fighting with Mark at the end. We really needed that point and I was so determined to get by. It was good, clean wheel-to-wheel racing. I'm very proud of what we have achieved over the first four races and to be third in the Drivers' Championship is beyond any of our expectations. But we've got to keep pushing and find more performance. We're hanging on by the skin of our teeth at the moment and, if we can make that next step, then we can close the gap."
Nico Rosberg: "A tough day for me. As nice as it was to start from pole this afternoon, it was just as hard to finish in ninth place. I didn't feel comfortable in the car today and it wasn't much fun out there really. We switched to a four-stop strategy at the end of my third stint but it wasn't enough. We were using the rear tyres too much and at the end, I was really struggling and wasn't able to push hard enough. There is a lot of work ahead and we need to focus on why our race performance isn't matching the pace that we can show in qualifying. Hopefully we can make some steps here before the European season starts."
