What perplexed me was how the cottage ended up at Western Springs, on land which was once part of that for William Edgcumbe's Northern Hotel (the "Old Stone Jug") on Great North Road.
Update 3 February 2012: Remembering Miss Newey.
I remember this cottage and when they removed it in 1987. I actually knew nothing of it's history and thought they had demolished it at the time. I spent some time scavenging bits and pieces including a vase that would have belonged to Miss Newey.ReplyDelete
Have you still got the bits and pieces?ReplyDelete
Well, you're going to be disappointed I am afraid. The stuff was still around until mid 2007. It all went when I was trying to clean up my mother's house. It was a trying time and I was not thinking clearly due to the stress of what was going on. I sent the vase and a whole bunch of stuff to charity, Salvation Army or St. Vincent. Of course I am kicking myself now. But at the time it was too much to deal with. It was a small terra cotta vase with handles probably from the 1930s 0r 1940s. Well at least it wasn't thrown in the dumpster. Maybe someone somewhere has it sitting on a shelf again.ReplyDelete
There was also a plastic doll, a bunny-human hybrid in pink and blue plastic. very cute. I think they are quite collectable now. It was poking out of a mound of bulldozed dirt. I had that until 1993, where it was stolen from my studio at art school.ReplyDelete
No worries. Just thought I'd ask. The local historical society would have gone nuts over it.ReplyDelete
This is part of the sort of usual detritus that is left under houses...decades of stuff including coins that have dropped through cracks in the floorboards, and a few dessicated rats. All the stuff that remained after they low loaded the house but hadn't yet bulldozed the site.ReplyDelete
But yes it is infuriating that it was sold off and possibly will be dismantled for parts. She must be up in heaven spitting tacks. Very sad really that someone didn't even look into it, and nobody spoke up. I often lament how quickly some things can slip through the cracks and disappear against someone's best efforts - their legacy and wish to simply do good for others in the future evaporates. It reminds me of the part in the story of Patrick Suskind's "Perfume" where the owner of the orphanage spends her whole life focussed on insuring she does not end up dying in a pensione, and that's exactly what happens to her anyway in the aftermath of the revolution. I have read about Newey before and it is nice there is at least a memorial garden to remember her by.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Darian. You're thinking basically what I do about this.ReplyDelete
Graham has asked that his comment be recorded here. Thanks, Graham -- Lisa.
Although Miss Newey's cottage may not be as significant as the Fall's Hotel and cottage, Miss Newey was a very significant person in the lives of many, many local people. As Head of the Junior Department at the Henderson School she made a huge early impact on those she taught, enabling and encouraging her students towards the early success in their learning. Additionally, she was a very important and valued member of the Henderson and Districts Garden Club, extending our knowledge of plants, growing and nurturing plants every meeting. She was a wonderful member whom all the club members admired and valued as a friend.
Therefore her cottage symbolises the value of her contributions locally and is now culturally and socially symbolic of those contributions. We must make the effort to relocate and maintain the cottage in Fall's Park.
This cottage has the potential to be a cultural and social symbol of recognition and encouragement for the current and future communities if it is developed and presented as an educational and community centre that supports local educational activities and club functions.

I was going to say, what was the problem with moving it to Falls Park? That would have been great. Maybe it wasn't a "think" yet. I know they had heritage signs up by then, at least for Tui Glen and the old Delta Wharf.ReplyDelete
of course I mean "thing" not think, but a strangely apt typo.ReplyDelete
Nobody gives a damn. This whole thing has left me at the moment with a not very high impression of how folk out West view history.ReplyDelete
Would it help to write a letter to someone? Any way any of us can help?ReplyDelete
Don't know. The contact details for the Henderson-Massey Local Board at least are on the Auckland Council website. If anyone would like to drop them a line (the board members all have emails) just expressing views, you're most welcome. They've worn Trevor Pollard and me down.ReplyDelete
Sorry just read this so ignore my other comment.ReplyDelete

SIMPSONVILLE– A few years ago, on a fairly concealed farm off Webb Road in Simpsonville, a young colt was learning the how to compete in the graceful arenas of the American Saddlebreds.
No one could predict his invincible 5-gaited run. No one knew he would become a World's Champion of Champions. And certainly no one envisioned his rise this month to an even more elite circle in the equine world.
CHThe Daily Lottery, born on High Hickory Farm, will join five other Horses of Honor who have reached the highest level of excellence in equestrian sport with their talent, perseverance and tremendous spirit. The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) in Lexington will bestow two of them with the prestigious title of Horse of the Year, the highest honor the USEF awards a horse. This year – a change from years past – both a national and an international horse will win.
The champions from across the Federation's breeds and disciplines will be recognized Jan. 13 at the USEF Horse of the Year Awards gala – part of the USEF's annual meeting - in Cincinnati. The public's vote will help determine the champions that join the pantheon of past winners, including last year's top horse – Gunners Special Nite, a champion reiner.
The three international Horses of Honor include Coral Reef Via Volo, a Belgian Warmblood mare who paired with rider Beezie Madden to rack up numerous show jumping triumphs across the globe; Weltino's Magic, a Westphalian gelding who was undefeated in 2011 with dressage superstar Steffen Peters on his back; and Neville Bardos, an Australian Thoroughbred gelding who wowed the eventing world with Boyd Martin.
On a side note: Martin almost lost Neville in a horrific barn fire but was able to rescue his beloved horse. Neville not only recovered from burns and severe smoke inhalation, but he returned to competition.
This year's national Horses of Honor include Sjored, a world-famous Friesian stallion, and the Arabian Starr Llight, the most winning Purebred English Pleasure mare of all time – and Shelby County's own The Daily Lottery.
"He's probably the most unique and curious horse I've ever been around," rider Gabe Deknatel said.
No other horse has been able to surpass this beautifully big-motioned chestnut. He doesn't just amaze the judges in the five-gaited division for Saddlebreds – he continues to win – every time – and by unanimous decision. With Deknatel at the reins, crowds cheer at the textbook example of showing gaited horses.
"I'm very lucky to be able to ride and be around such a great horse," he said. "I hurt my back this year and didn't feel comfortable on other horses. His proper athletic movement puts me in a comfortable position. I can't tell you how lucky and blessed I feel about that."
In the barn, they call this horse Dudley, but his true fans call him "Studly" – and for good reason.
The Daily Lottery was a jackpot payout in 2011 with an undefeated record among amateur competitors. From the string of grand champion titles at the UPHA/American Royal, Kentucky Fall Classic, Midwest Charity Horse Show, Bonnie Blue National and the Kentucky State Fair World's Championship Horse Show, The Daily Lottery dominated the scene like no other.
Although quite calm in the barn – usually – and standing just over 15 hands tall, The Daily Lottery turns up the heat at shows, gradually and inevitably working up a power and motivation that are unmatched.
"One of his true gifts is that he doesn't realize he's a reasonably plain smallish horse," Deknatel said. "And no one else knows it when he's doing his thing. He comes out with a one-track mind, putting everything into his work, every time."
Deknatel says "Studly" has taught him the true meaning of hot-blooded when it comes to horses.
"At a horse show, where he really turns up the heat, I believe he would go harder and harder indefinitely, until he or I got hurt or died," he said. "I would pass out before he would – he's so fit. But he would go until he died, getting bigger and better every step."
That could be why this once-relaxed horse turns quite the opposite after such a workout. "He makes life difficult for his caretakers after he has worked," Deknatel said. "His body gets sensitive, and he wiggles around. He tries to bite and kick. All of which is opposite his normal demeanor."
But when The Daily Lottery first finishes competing, he simply looks up at the lights and the crowd, and handsomely poses, his ears towards the sky.
"He now has an awareness of his surroundings that I don't entirely understand – it's fascinating," Deknatel said.
Winning the Amateur 5-Gaited Championship at the World's Championship Horse Show at the Kentucky State Fair is considered to be the highest honor for amateurs – but to win it twice in a row is a rare accomplishment.
If anyone could do it, though, it would be The Daily Lottery, trained by John and Tammie Conatser, and Deknatel.
And in August from the moment he trotted into the ring, The Daily Lottery was absolutely brilliant – expressive, quick-moving, agile and thrilling to watch. In every gait he pushed off his hind legs with power – right to victory. Again.

"Male Braod-billed Hummingbird."
A male broad-billed hummingbird decked out in complimentary colors of orange and blue.
The feathers of a male broad-billed hummingbird refract sunlight into a painter's pallet of colors.
"Rivoli's Hummingbird"
Male Rivoli's hummingbirds sport iridescent feathers on their throat and crown that look black until they are viewed from just the right angle. This is a Mexican species that also nests in the southern tips of Arizona and New Mexico.
A winter flock of Sandhill Cranes heads out just after sunrise to feed in the agricultural fields of southern Arizona.
Behind the lens
Phoenix is the mythical bird of rebirth and renewal from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Chinese cultures. It is a stork-like bird with glorious feathers of gold and red. According to Greek legend, the Greek sun-god Helios stops his chariot (the sun) at dawn to listen to its beautiful song. Once every 500 years, the Phoenix builds a nest of twigs which it then sets afire. Bird and nest burn furiously and, from their ashes, a new Phoenix arises to live for another 500 years.
The capital of Arizona was so named because it was built on the ruins of an extensive Hohokam civilization that had flourished in that location centuries earlier.
"Sandhill Ballet."
Sandhill Cranes pair for live, so you'll often see them flying in pairs or in small family groups.
Behind the lens.
While flycatchers are hard to photograph in flight, Sandhill Cranes are big birds that slowly glide to a graceful landing. For me, watching groups of cranes arrive is much more spectacular than human ballet.
"Crane Dance"
Sandhill cranes often jump up and down when around each other — a form of communication that looks vaguely familiar to us.
"Moonlight Flight."
After sunset, the moon watches while a flock of Sandhill Cranes fly towards their evening roost.
Behind the lens.
I visualized this image for several years before getting a chance to capture it. When we finally arrived on location, it still took me three evenings to to get the moon, clouds and cranes to cooperate.
"Dawn Geese"
Canada Geese gather together in the peaceful, pre-dawn light on Lake McDonald, in Glacier National Park, Montana.
"Leap of Faith"
Bufflehead chicks make a leap of faith and follow mom from their nest cavity to the lakeshore, about 40' down and 100' away. Photographed on a small lake in western Montana. ("Leap" note cards available here.)
Behind the lens.
"Leap of Faith" is one of our most popular photographs. People walking through art shows suddenly stop, point at the photo, and laugh out loud. What better "gift" can we give total strangers than the gift of laughter? I like to believe that people who hang this photograph in their home will get a chuckle every day, no matter what else happens to them that day.
We were walking our dogs on a favorite trail when Tracy first spotted the hen peeking out of the nest cavity, about 40' up in a twisted larch snag. Tracy took the dogs home, and I returned with my camera and set up my tripod as far away as I could with my largest telephoto lens -- and waited.
Bufflehead chicks feed themselves, so as soon as all of the eggs hatch, mom must lead them from the nest to the lake. While I hid nearby, mom kept looking out of the hole every few minutes for a couple of hours. Finally, she dropped straight down to the bottom of the tree and then sat there silently for several more minutes. When she let out one soft "cluck," the chicks suddenly made their first appearance in the hole and immediately started jumping down -- one, two and three at a time -- to join mom. There were seven chicks all together, and it took less than 30 seconds for all of them to leave their nest and "fly" down to mom. Actually, their feet are bigger than their wings, and it's more of a controlled crash than a first flight. Once regrouped at the base of the tree, mom led her family on a 100-yard hike through the brush and fallen trees to reach the safety of the lake.
All's well that ends well.
"Flying Tomato."
The brilliant red plumage worn by the male Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) is the source of his common name, "The Flying Tomato."
Behind the lens.
Typically, the smaller the bird the faster it flits about. Vermilion Flycatchers are small birds that sit on a perch and watch for flying insects. They never sit for long, and they are equally likely to launch in any direction. Since I don't use autofocus lenses, my efforts at catching a sharp, well-timed flight image of the "Flying Tomato" are, so far, fruitless.
"Curious Raven."
The handsome Raven is intelligent, curious and playful. ("Curious Raven" note cards available here.)
Behind the lens.
Whenever winter lands hard across Montana, I think of Ravens. Wind, snow -- Ravens.
Two or three serious blizzards have lured me into the mountains when I probably should have stayed home. But each time I ventured into the crushing cold, I found Ravens at play. Ravens making great looping, roller coaster flights into gale-force winds. Flights that lacked any apparent direction or purpose, flights that just looked fun. I trudged home half-numb but full of respect.
Ravens provided the inspiration for many Native American stories, and now they are acknowledged as one of the most intelligent and wide-ranging of all bird species. They are year-round residents here in the western half of Montana. Unlike Crows, which are smaller and often live in flocks in towns, Ravens tend to live in monogamous pairs in the wild, undeveloped areas that remain.
Displays of their ingenuity have been noted often. Ravens have been seen defending their nest by dropping stones on approaching people, and passing food through a zoo cage to feed a hungry vulture in freezing weather. The association between Ravens and wolves is also well-documented.
Ravens are scavengers, but they are unable to tear open a fresh carcass. So they learned to follow wolves (and wolf tracks) and scavenge their kills. Calling Ravens are also hought to alert wolves to the freshly deceased. Once torn open by wolves, the carcass becomes accessible to the Ravens. But it gets a little more complex.
Ravens have also learned to make seasonally-appropriate responses to howling wolves. Ravens generally ignore wolf howls between April and September, when wolves tend to hunt smaller items, and most howling occurs near the den site. But in winter, Ravens actively follow the wild chorus of howling wolves. In winter, wolves tend to hunt in groups and kill larger prey, which can take several days to completely consume. This change in wolf hunting tactics gives Ravens ample opportunities to scavenge meals.
"Raven Soul Mates."
Mated for life, Ravens are an affectionate couple. They spend lots of time perched shoulder to shoulder, and they often perform mutual preening which reinforces their pair bond.
Behind the lens.
Yes, these are wild, free-ranging birds. Photographing glossy-black feathers in deep-deep shade was challenging, and I had to drop to a shutter speed slower than I really wanted. As a result, this gets a little blurry when blown up large, so I'm keeping the available print sizes on the small side.
"Winter Raven."
This is a photograph of a Raven in snow that I edited to look like something between a photo and an etching. There's just something about their glossy throat feathers, not to mention their intelligence, that I can't get enough of.
"Black-necked Stilts."
The golden sunset silhouettes a group of Black-necked Stilts feeding in the shallow waters.
Behind the lens.
This is one of the rare, non-Montana photographs that I'm posting. We experienced this dazzling sunset on the Salton Sea, in southern California. The only good part about having air quality issues is that you get really intense sunsets.
"Eagle Talons."
A Bald Eagle catches a fish from a small Montana lake. The progression is shown in 0.2 second intervals, and from beginning to end is 0.8 (eight tenths) of a second. (Note cards available here.)
Behind the lens.
As a biologist, I spent years monitoring Bald Eagles in Glacier National Park. I've seen Eagles catch fish and ducks many times, but it always happens so fast that I can never tell exactly how they do it. So I imagined this sequential photograph for a long time, in the back of my mind, before I was actually able to document the event with a camera.
Like most birds, Eagles fly with their feet and legs held tight to the body for aerodynamic reasons. As they stoop on a prey item, the legs rotate forward and the talons extend, hitting the fish with force and locking down. As they start to fly away, they'll often turn the fish around head-first, again, for aerodynamic reasons. It's a beautiful sequence that's been perfected by countless generations of Bald Eagles -- and it happens in the blink of an eye.
Harriet Waits
A Montana osprey named "Harriet" watches and waits from her nest while the sun sets behind her. Harriet lost her mate late one summer, and her patience finally paid off late the next summer when a new male arrived who Harriet found worthy.
"Burrowing Owl"
With its short tail and long legs, the burrowing owl is a specialist that breeds on the prairies of central and eastern Montana. The Montana population has seen a slight decline while the owls practically disappeared just across the border in Canada, due to habitat loss and insecticide use related to commercial farming.
Sleepy Owl
A juvenile great-horned owl tries hard to stay awake while perched in a summer in a sunbeam.
Curious Owlets
A pair of curious great-horned owls peek over the edge of their nest in a broken-top larch snag.
"Owl Eyes."
With the forward-facing eyes of a raptor, a Great Horned Owl portrait gives the impression of intense concentration.
Behind the lens.
This is a trained bird, photographed while sitting on the trainer's glove. This face is a great example of something that has always fascinated me -- how many different shapes and functions that feathers can take on in a single bird. How many different feather shapes can you see?
"Family Tree."
A trio of Great Horned Owlets watches with intense curiousity as a big, new world unfolds below their family tree. They're about nine weeks old and just starting to think about flying.
"Short-eared Owl."
A Short-eared Owl glides across a Montana grassland.
Behind the lens.
I was helping my good friend, Kuenhi, with the fieldwork for his master's degree on Ring-necked Pheasants, at a USF&WS Wildlife Refuge here in Montana. We were slowly walking the fields, parting the grass with long sticks to look for pheasant nests. Once found, Kuenhi would take all manner of measurements for one egg, and then we would cover the nest and move on as quickly as possible. Short-eared Owls are also ground nesters, and we must have passed close to her nest as she hovered above us for a few moments. But we moved on, and she went back to hunting.
"Sleepy Harlequin"
A male Harlequin Duck keeps one eye open while napping on a moss and lichen-covered boulder.
Behind the lens.
I actually made this image three camera bodies ago, and I finally got around to editing it about four years after making it.
"Handsome Harlequin."
A male Harlequin Duck rests peacefully on a river rock in Glacier National Park, Montana.
Behind the lens.
This has got to be the most interesting duck you'll ever cross paths with. I spent eight years studying Harlequin Ducks, from Glacier National Park in Montana, to the Straights of Georgia in British Columbia, to Prince William Sound in Alaska. In the latter years, I started carying my camera so I could put together a slide program to help educate people on how to conserve these little ducks. This is my favorite photograph from that program. To get an eye-level photograph of wild duck, you have to concentrate on nice thoughts and have an acceptable "gestalt" before the subject will allow you into its space.
"Harlequin Duck Pair"
A pair of Harlequin Ducks negotiates a tumbling creek in Glacier National Park, Montana. These ducks are so rare that, in the park, there are about twice as many grizzly bears as Harlequins.
Behind the lens.
I spent years studying Harlequins, but I seldom carried a camera during that time. So now when I return to photograph them, I find it surprisingly hard to create an image that really shows what being a Harlequin Duck is all about.
Finally, this photograph tells their story. Harlequins are all about clear, cold, churning water. They are sea ducks that migrate inland to nest along rumbling creeks and streams. And, while the female is cryptic brown, the male has some of the most ornate feathers of any bird species.
"Harlequin Lord."
Harlequin Ducks in breeding plumage are so striking that they are sometimes referred to as "lords and ladies." They are one of Montana's rarest native birds.
"Harrier Stare."
A male Northern Harrier hunts low over the marsh. Harriers have owl-shaped faces, and they hunt by sound as well as by sight.
Behind the lens.
Northern Harriers are a long-legged hawk that lives in open grasslands and meadows across most of North America, including Montana. They recently upgraded from their previously pedestrian name, "Marsh Hawk."
Harriers are one of my favorite native birds. The adults sport wingspans of 42-48" wide, but they only weigh in at 0.5 to 1.3 pounds (females are bigger than males). That's about a four-foot-wide wing weighing one pound! Such a high surface-area-to-weight ratio makes for one very manuverable and fast bird. Male Harriers have been seen overtaking Prairie Falcons in flight.
Harriers are not owls, but they do have owl-like, feathered facial discs to direct sound into their ears. So like owls, Harriers hunt by sound as well as by sight. They fly low across the meadow when hunting, in a gracefully lilting glide, watching and listening for small critters (primarily voles) hidden in the grass below. With a quick flip of their long tail, they change direction instantly and dive on their prey.
Harriers are ground nesters, and the cryptic brown female takes over and finishes construction after the male starts the nest. The light-gray male seldom comes to the nest after incubation starts. While she incubates their eggs, he handles the hunting and makes food deliveries to his mate. He flies in with a meal, calls out to her, and she flies up from the nest to make the food exchange in mid-air. About two weeks after the chicks hatch, the female starts hunting again. After the dark brown youngsters become profecient at flying, mom will make mid-air food exchanges with her young.
Harriers are occsionally polygynous (when food is plentiful), with one male mating with 1-5 females and delivering food to all of them while nesting. They'll sometimes nest in loose colonies of 10-20 individuals. Adults are not territorial, but they will aggressively defend the nest from predators (and photographers). During winter the larger females will aggressively exclude males from prime feeding areas, but then they'll roost communally on the ground at night.
The Harrier population appears to be stable in North America. A few Harriers winter in Montana, but voles are hard to hear underneath snow, and so most of Montana's Harriers are migratory. They'll head south by late November and return to Big Sky country in March or April.
My Harrier image graced the cover of the 2014 Peregrine Fund calendar.
"Redtail Dawn."
A pair of Redtail Hawks greet the first light of dawn from their perch in a Ponderosa Pine snag in western Montana.
Behind the lens.
This is one of my favorite trees, long-dead but still valuable to wildlife. It's near the road that we drive when we leave Kila and head for the "big city" of Kalispell. More often than not, there's a single hawk perched on one of its branches. This one morning (returning home from a photography all-nighter) was the only time I've ever seen two hawks perched together in this old snag!
"Kingfisher Portrait"
When she's ready to nest, the female Kingfisher excavates a tunnel 1-8' long in a sandy bank, where she'll lay 6-8 eggs. The parents will deliver more than 1,000 small fish to the nest before the youngsters finally fledge.
Behind the lens.
You can read more about Montana's Kingfishers here at my "Wild & Free Montana" website.
"Kingfisher Dinner."
A Belted Kingfisher has a long-toed salamander over for dinner. You can read more about Kingfishers here at my "Wild & Free Montana" website.
Behind the lens.
I was shoulder-deep in water, photographing ducks from a modified float tube that lets me get the camera down at water level. When this Kingfisher landed behind me, I suddenly realized that my rigging didn't allow me to easily point the lens upward. I muscled the lens up to captue this image, and now I'm redesigning my float tube.
"Pileated Portrait."
A male Pileated Woodpecker inspects an old feeding hole in a weathered stump. The red mustache distinguishes the guys from the females.
"Pileated Woodpecker."
A female Pileated Woodpecker flies low over a shaded winter snow bank. Both males and females sport crests of red feathers, and the males also have a red mustache.
Behind the lens.
There's more to the story of this bird. She's missing her central tail feathers ("retrices"), which is normal when the bird is molting. But when I showed this photo to my neighbors, they said, "We know that bird!" She was feeding at their suet feeder when a squirrel ran up the tree to chase her away, and a few feathers were seen floating to the ground after the altercation. They said that the strange thing is, the squirrel never eats the suet.
"Black-crowned Night Heron."
Adult Black-crowned Night Herons(Nycticorax nycticorax) sport fine white plumes from the back of their heads. They are the night shift of the heron world, feeding after dark in the same areas that other herons use during the day.
"Great Blue Heron Gulp (vertical)."
Great Blue Herons snatch small fish from the water with the tips of their sharp beaks. But before they can swallow the snack, they have to toss and spin it around so it slides down head first.
Behind the lens.
I tried to photograph the cranes at Bosque del Apache, but I got fed up with the crowd of photographers. So instead, we found this heron fishing in one of the canals below the road, and photographed him catching five fish. A lot of other photographers drove past us, parked on the roadside, but none of them ever saw this avian acrobat at work.
"Green Heron Portrait"
Green Herons stand very still and suddenly snatch small fish from the water. They often use lures to up their odds, dropping bread crumbs, insects, feathers or even twigs onto the water to entice curious fish within range of their spear-like beaks.
"Green-winged Teal Drake."
The handsome male Green-winged Teal features a chestnut head with an iridescent patch that can appear to be blue or green, depending on the angle. When he holds his head just right, he also sports a spike of blue-black feathers on the back of his head.
"Green-winged Teal pair (square)."
Green-winged Teal nest across Canada and a handful of U.S. states. They are cold-hardy ducks, often the first to head north in the spring and the last to arrive south for the winter.
"Ducks in a Row."
A young brood of Goldeneye ducklings cuddle up on a log on a small lake in western Montana. You can learn more about Barrow's Goldeneyes here at my "Wild & Free Montana" website.
Note cards of this image are available here.
Behind the lens.
This is another one of our photographs that makes people laugh out loud. There's something about "going your own way" that we all instinctively respond to. Or is it "going the wrong way" sometimes that makes us laugh at ourselves?
This was a challenging photograph that took almost two weeks to create in the manner that I thought it should be. I wanted you to feel like "one of gang" when you looked at the photograph -- and that meant getting the camera down to duckling eye level. The lens was about one-quarter inch above the water, and the tripod was completely underwater. Two of the ducklings are moving slightly during the three-second exposure, but The One is looking right at you, and you can't not look back -- even while you're laughing.
"Snow Geese."
A small flock of Snow Geese flies over a golden field of winter-dried grasses.
Behind the lens.
Big flocks of migrating Snow Geese are one of the most amazing spectacles of spring.
"Loon Lunch"
A mother Loon gently offers a small aquatic insect larvae to her two-day-old chick, on a small lake in western Montana. Both parents began with deliveries of small insects, then changed to small fish after two weeks, and eventually delivered crayfish before the youngster learned to feed himself.
"Mother and Son."
A mother Loon hovers near her tiny, two-day-old chick.
"Peekaboo Loon Chick."
A young Loon chick peeks out from under the protective cover of his mother's wing.
Behind the lens.
Loons are very protetective parents. When the young chicks tire, they climb aboard a parent's back to rest in comfort. And when the parent senses danger - like when a Bald eagle is flying nearby - the parent lifts one wing and the chick crawls underneath. In this way the parent Loon can make the chick completely invisible from above and from below, but the chick eventually gets hungry and peeks out to see if the coast is clear.
"Learning to Yodel."
Is this two-day-old chick learning to yodel -- one of the Loon's familiar calls -- or is he yawning instead? Photographed on a small lake in western Montana.
"Baby on Board."
A two-day-old Loon chick rides in comfort, high and dry on mom's back.
"Loon Yoga."
An adult loon leisurely stretches his wings on a lazy summer evening. This image is a multiple exposure of one Loon.
"Twilight Loons."
At the end of the day, a Loon pair rests side-by-side, peacefully watching over their lake as the twilight fades into night.
Behind the lens
Intermittent reward is more addictive than a reliable reward. I had just spent the afternoon feeding mosquitoes, instead of getting the Marsh Wren photographs that I had hoped for.
Half an hour after sunset, I started working my way out of the marsh, heading toward the lakeshore and the forested trail that leads home. As I wobbled clumsily across the spongy bog, the resident Loons out in the lake noticed me and swam over to see what this mosquito-clouded creature was all about.
I sat down on the rocks at the water's edge. The Loon pair swam slowly towards me until we could look each other up and down. Eventually, they lost interest in me and my quiet questions. They circled each other twice, rested their heads on their backs, and slept.
I mostly just watched, but also created a few photos in the blue twilight, at shutter speeds that I knew were way too slow for a 500mm lens.
Our quiet meeting didn't seem to move the Loons much, but I sure enjoyed it. Still, I didn't have high expectations for photographs taken in the dark without a tripod. But you know what? This time it worked. This time, the blood and mud and struggle turned into something that is timeless. And that is exactly the rare thing that keeps me going.
"Hungry Loon Chick"
A Loon father gently offers an insect to his hungry, two-day-old chick. Photographed on a small lake in western Montana.

The Hills star Kristin Cavallari has her eye on Yankee Derek Jeter … but from what we saw, the feelings are not mutual!
Kristin Cavallari, 23, either doesn't realize that Derek Jeter, 35, is in a very serious relationship with actress Minka Kelly, 29 … or she doesn't care! HollywoodLife.com spotted The Hills cutie partying at the Tao Super Bowl party at Wall nightclub inside the W Hotel South Beach on Feb. 5, where she was seriously trying to get close to the Yankee slugger. Kristin, who was definitely enjoying the cocktails and popchips that were being served in the VIP area, was doing everything in her power to get to Derek's table!
We even overheard one guest say, "Kristin needs to stop trying so hard." And after a few failed attempts, she finally did!
Kristin gave up trying to get close to the Yankee and joined the other celebs who were celebrating, including Alex Rodriguez, Kevin Connolly, Chace Crawford, Amanda Bynes and Wilmer Valderamma.

Thread: [Myrcon] Procon 22.214.171.124 released
13-03-2013, 18:20 #21
What do you mean with local plugins? After downgrading to 126.96.36.199 I can now enable again all my plugins without any problems.
13-03-2013, 18:36 #22
oh okay, I was just wondering if your procon lagged because you were connecting to too many servers like I do.
By local plugins- I meant, if you are running a plugin from your desktop like admin alerts or something so that you can hear/see alerts.

If so, that's very like the problem that the Procon guys are already aware of. Each client that connects to a layer may generate its own command for the player list, which generates ping commands for the number of players in the list. If you have a 64 slot server that is full, that could be (worst case) 22 x 64 ping commands every 30 seconds. It would be surprising if you didn't have lag in that situation.Don't send me private messages (PMs) unless you really need privacy, like your game server password. If you just have a question or need help, post in one of the threads. It's extra work for me to answer questions and give help in private messages and no one else gets the benefit of the answer.
14-03-2013, 01:20 #25
But I think I have only just begun to understand how procon really works.... I always thought not every procon client send his own console commands to the server but rather the procon clients get all the same information about player list, ping etc at the same time from the layer that sends the commands to the server which means the amount of procon accounts should be no problem as long as the procon layer's connection can handle all the requests . Now, I my view on how procon works was wrong. Every client sends his own console commands to gather the informations about players, ping, etc..., right? That should explain why after the update all these ping commands from all procon accounts are causing these lags...mhh
Is it possible to modify the account privileges to prevent the executing of ping requests, maybe also other commands to improve the performance? Most of my admins don't care about players ping, they only want to read the chat to see if there are any problems on the server.

The Indianapolis Colts quietly have one of the most promising groups of young pass catchers in the league. One of the group's diamonds in the rough, however, won't be available to start the season.
The Colts announced Monday through an NFL spokesperson that LaVon Brazill has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2013 regular season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. He's eligible to return to the active roster on Sept. 30.
Brazill only caught 11 passes as a rookie out of Ohio University, but four of them were for more than 20 yards. (One was a 42-yard grab.) He is a nice deep threat who was fighting for snaps out wide behind Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
It's possible that the Colts knew this suspension was coming when they signed Heyward-Bey, who has a similar skill set to Brazill.
UPDATE: Brazill took to Twitter on Monday to reflect on his suspension.
Minor setback for a major comebackâ LaVon Brazill (@BrazillLaVon) June 24, 2013

Weight loss during chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Due to severe arthritis in my knees I am overweight at 5'5"and 185 lbs. I recently had a mastectomy. I am about to begin chemotherapy. I need a diet for energy and replacement of vitamins and minerals, etc.
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Being closer to your ideal weight would be healthier overall. However, starting a weight loss regimen while going through cancer treatment may be difficult since there may be times when you don't feel well and you may experience fatigue and stress. It might be wiser to focus on following a healthy diet that will nourish your body during treatment. Make sure that you get enough protein (about 1 gm per kilogram) from lean protein foods (fish, chicken, low fat dairy foods and legumes), emphasize the "healthier" fats (the monounsaturated and omega 3 fatty acids), eat whole grain foods, as well as lots of fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water. However, the side effects of treatment may make it difficult to follow a "perfect" diet all the time. Most cancer centers have a registered dietitian who can assess your diet and provide recommendations on ways to improve your nutrition status, as well as provide suggestions on foods to eat when you are not feeling well. Inform your medical team of any supplements you are considering. Some vitamins and herbs can potentially interfere with cancer treatments. The time to get serious about weight loss is after your treatment is finished. Your clinic's registered dietitian may offer weight loss counseling or be able to refer you to a weight loss program.

text: Avoiding, Identifying Anthracnose August 12, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ellie Murphy Farm Journal Media Intern Email Anthracnose commonly affects developing plants in humid areas. In Episode 7 of Corn College TV Season 3, Farm Journal's Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer discusses how to identify the disease early on. The example that Bauer shows is in a corn-on-corn field. The bottom leaves of the plant are starting to die off, with visible lesions that have begun to kill leaf tissue. She explains that this is an expected issue in a field that experienced corn-on-corn and a wet early season. "Again, on a corn-on-corn situation and having wet weather, we'll see this kind of disease throughout the field," she says. "It will be hybrid dependent, so some hybrids might be worse than others." (Click here to order Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) With disease management, it starts with hybrid selection and continues with scouting throughout the entire growing season.

26 May 2014 Memorial Day
Hello All:
From the Commander from Post 381 we have not forgotten
A Dear friend gave me these Pictures.
Remembering the past and honoring those that have given their lives for us to be free in the U.S.A.
These pictures were taken at the Vietnam War
26 May 2014.
Friday, May 16, 2014
Thursday, May 8, 2014
We have not For gotten Post 381.org Have you.
The Polar Bear Monument is located in White Chapel Memorial Cemetery in Troy, Mich.
A monument honoring a little-known group of World War I heroes - affectionately known as the Polar Bears - has taken a step closer to national recognition.
During its Spring Meetings in Indianapolis on May 8, The American Legion's National Executive Committee approved Resolution 20, which supports the Department of Michigan's efforts to have the Polar Bear Monument added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The resolution will help the Polar Bear Memorial Association (PBMA), a group unofficially adopted by American Legion Post 14 in Troy, Mich., to get the Polar Bear Monument recognized and put on the national register in time for the World War I centennial. Many members of PBMA are either members of Post 14, Sons of the American Legion or Auxiliary.
The monument, located in White Chapel Memorial Cemetery in Troy, honors mostly Michigan soldiers. It's the only monument dedicated specifically to Americans who fought in Russia during World War I, and it's currently registered as a state historic site. With the Legion's backing, Post 14 Commander Stephen Stevens said the resolution will show the National Register of Historic Places there's wide support to have the monument added as a national historic place.
"This is something that should have been done a long time ago in my opinion, being a veteran," Stevens said. "No veteran — I don't care from (what era) — should ever be forgotten. What's our purpose in life for the Legion? It's to remember our veterans and to keep the public remembering them."
Stevens said the daunting task of writing and re-writing the resolution has added purpose to his membership. And though a "military buff," Stevens said he had never heard of the Polar Bear veterans until a friend told him.
"When The American Legion was being founded, when they were having their very first meeting, (the Polar Bears) were still fighting for their lives over in north Russia, which not a lot of people know," he said.
The Polar Bears were sent to fight in northern Russia during World War I. According to the University of Michigan Libraries, the Polar Bears were comprised of 5,000 troops of "Detroit's Own," the 339th Infantry, plus support units including a battalion of the 310th Engineers, the 337th Field Hospital and the 337th Ambulance Company.
The men expected to go to France and fight in the trenches, but were separated from the other soldiers in England. There, they were taken to a different training camp and given different uniforms, Russian rifles and British commanders. More than 50 men died of disease before ever reaching Russia.
President Woodrow Wilson had been wary of sending Americans to fight in what was essentially Russia's civil war.
According to historian and PBMA President Michael Grobbel, the Polar Bears weren't to fight but to guard war materials in Archangel, Russia. But when the remaining men arrived in Archangel in September 1918, the war materials had all been looted and there was nothing left for them to guard. The British commanders sent them out to chase the Bolsheviks, against Wilson's orders.
"Nobody could explain why we were fighting the Bolsheviks ... but they had no choice," Grobbel said.
As a brutal winter approached, the conditions for American soldiers worsened. "The Americans were dependent on the British for all food and medicine, but the British were used to supplying troops in the tropics," Grobbel said. "Up in the arctic, you need double the calories." Plus, those farther from Archangel were less likely to receive even those portions. By the time supplies got to men more than 100 miles away, more than a third had likely been sold on the black market.
"The vermin, the lice, the men quickly got infected with that, no place to take baths so they spent the whole winter scratching and underfed with minimal daylight," Grobbel said. "Then they had to be ready in a moment's notice to withstand a Bolshevik attack or go out on patrols. It was pretty miserable."
When the war ended on Nov. 11, 1919, word spread fast. In Russia, the soldiers were still fighting. Officers couldn't answer questions about when the soldiers would be able to return home, or why they were fighting. There were even alleged mutinies.
"They really chafed at not getting a straight answer as to why they were fighting," Grobbel said. "At best, they were told to fight to survive and outlast the winter."
Meanwhile, families and friends were left in the lurch. Where had their boys gone?
The letters from the soldiers, if they arrived, were heavily censored and provided little detail, Grobbel said. No one seemed to know what had happened to the Michiganders sent to Russia.
When political representatives didn't give families adequate answers, the simple queries snowballed into bombarding members of Congress with letters and rallies demanding answers from Wilson. Much grandstanding was done on the Senate floor.
"They raised enough stink that they pulled them out," Grobbel said. "But they had to wait until the rivers unfroze, which is the third week of May up there."
When the men returned home in the late spring of 1919, when the Legion was forming, they wanted their own association to carry on the stories of their unique experience. They also wanted a group working toward the repatriation of their fallen.
Due to a large percentage of them being from Michigan, it was fairly easy to stay in touch, and so the Polar Bear Association was born. They labored for a decade to see their mission through, and in 1929 were able to recover and return their comrades' bodies.
As the last of the Polar Bears passed away, PBMA was formed to continue the Memorial Day ceremony in their honor and to keep their history alive — a history that could have been forgotten or left to yellow in University of Michigan archives, unnoticed. Since May 30, 1930, a Memorial Day ceremony at the marble monument has commemorated the Polar Bears' service.
Grobbel's grandfather, Clement, was a Polar Bear, but Grobbel said there was "a lot of hardship, and they didn't talk about it" except for at association meetings.
After the passing of the last Polar Bear, the PBMA vies to make the country aware of the Polar Bears' complex history.
"(It's) not only to remember their fallen dead, but to remember and educate others about this episode in history. We want to make sure that we don't let them down," Grobbel said.

Texas Tech hopes to name an interim basketball coach within the next two weeks, university spokesman Blayne Beal said Friday.
Billy Gillispie resigned on Thursday, citing health concerns, after just one season. With only about three weeks left until the start of official practice on Oct. 12, Tech faces a sense of urgency in finding Gillispie's replacement.
Chris Walker, who last season was the associate head coach under Gillispie, has been placed in charge of day-to-day operations, but it is unclear whether Walker will be given the interim title for the upcoming season.
Beal said Hocutt and the university are "looking at all options" in its search for an interim coach.
Walker did not immediately return a message seeking comment Friday. Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt, through Beal, declined to comment on the search for Gillispie's replacement.
The program has been in a state of flux for more than three weeks. On Aug. 31, Gillispie was hospitalized at University Medical Center amid allegations of player mistreatment of NCAA violations regarding practice time.
Tech was using a coach-by-committee approach to monitor individual workouts until Sept. 11, when Hocutt placed Walker, a former Villanova assistant, in charge.
Gillispie's resignation brings more uncertainty to a program that has struggled with stability in recent seasons. The coach who begins the upcoming season at the helm will be Tech's fourth since 2008, when Bob Knight resigned midway through the season.
Pat Knight coached the team for three-plus seasons before being fired in 2011. Tech then turned to Gillispie, who went 8-23 overall and 1-17 in Big 12 Conference play during his lone season.
Tech's new coach will face an uphill battle this season. One of the team's top recruits, Wannah Bail, left the program after the first session of summer classes. Another top recruit, forward Aaron Ross, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear during an offseason practice and will miss the upcoming season.
The Red Raiders return just one senior in Ty Nurse. Of the team's five juniors, only one, Jaye Crockett, has played a game for the Red Raiders.
Sophomore Jordan Tolbert is the only returning player who scored in double figures last season (11.5).
Tech has not yet released its schedule for the upcoming season.

The second season of Netflix's political thriller "House of Cards" got released at midnight PST, and while many wasted no time tearing into the twisty Kevin Spacey-Robin Wright series, there's one fan who's going to need a little time to catch up. And God help you if you discuss spoilers.
President Barack Obama, who seems to be quite the TV junkie, tweeted a word of warning to his followers on Thursday: "Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers, please."
A previous report revealed that Obama desired to watch DVDs of the upcoming season of "Game of Thrones" and "True Detective" during his weekend trip to California.
According to the Associated Press, "House of Cards" cast member Kate Mara called the Obama shout-out "one of the coolest things that's happened to me," when told about the tweet at an event for the show on Thursday night.
The series, adapted from the successful British series, chronicles the political maneuverings of the Machiavellian House majority whip, Frank Underwood (Spacey). It's about as far from the blue sky idealism of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing" as possible. And considering the battles Obama has had with Congress during his two terms, the series is probably more than a little therapeutic for him.
Here's hoping the president gets a chance to catch up soon. Twitter is not a place that goes easy on spoilers, and he has access to the nuclear launch codes.
[For the Record Feb. 17, 2:58 p.m.: A previous version of this post identified Kevin Spacey's character as Frank Cross. His character is named Frank Underwood.]

1990 Golf_GL with 2l 16v swap.
Got the car feb 5, 2011. The car ran but had many little problems ( I'm super picky) so I went to work on it for a year straight. Got her in shape (2040lbs), did minor engine work, and then took her out to willow springs raceway to see how she stacks up. Pretty much every bushing, nut and bolt, has been replaced. Lots of work has been done that is not pictured. Did 1:32 per lap, not bad for first time on a track.
After the track I decided to go with carbs and many many more changes.
All pictures are copyright protected!!!!!!!!!!
day 1 --->now, tried to put them in order. More pictures throughout the thread.

If a company had a database filled with employee information and needed to perform a specific search, they would need to join tables. For example, if in one table consisted of hours worked, and another table consisted of the wage rate, the two tables would need to be joined to find out how much a particular employee would earn in a particular week.

A professor can use a database that have all of the students' information and the results from recent exam to examine how well the students perform in that class. For example, if the professor wanted to see who got the highest and lowest marks, the professor can use the "Student" table and "Exam" table matched based on their common field to get the information from the database. The SQL workbench will give the results the name of the students who got the highest mark from the exam. The professor can also see the lowest marks.

If order information is in one table and product information is in another table, you can join the tables to find out what certain customers purchased. By joining the tables, you can tell how much a customer bought or how much they spent. A join helps you relate the two tables to one another.

If I wanted to know how many trips a customer took with uber for example in New Jersey, I would join, the customer table and the trips table (with location) to get the answer to my query. You join tables when you are trying to search for things that contain more than one entity, basically.
Saiamulya Vykunta on September 18, 2017 at 9:14 am
A situation where you could use join to retrieve information from a set of tables is at a shipping company. When a product comes to the company, it is given a product id, point of origin, invoice number and quantity, which all forms one table. Another table necessary to find where to ship the product number is a customer table which consists of the customer information, order details, and the invoice number. By joining the invoice number, the shipping company would know what product to send and where.
Julia Kovalskiy on September 18, 2017 at 11:43 am
If we wanted to know how many customers ordered a specific product on Amazon, we would join one table that has customers and another table that has orders. Would use the "count" function to figure out how many of those products were ordered
Eric Robert Murphy on September 18, 2017 at 4:09 pm
I am currently undergoing treatment at Temple Hospital and I have to deal with my insurance provider because of it. I suppose whenever one of their representatives deals with my case, he or she will join tables to get information on it. I would assume they would search for my name, money spent so far on my treatment, and the location of my treatment. For example, they would look up something that would answer the question: how much have we spent on Eric Murphy in the past year, and what hospital has our money been going to? My insurance company would then choose to accept or deny my treatment with the information gathered from their database.
Kangwoon Lee on September 18, 2017 at 7:47 pm
I think a way to use a join is with a product and the consumers. One provides the details of the product purchased, while the other (customer table) provides specific information about the customer; and ultimately, it'll allow us to find how often this customer purchases said product and how many he or she purchases, etc.
Courtlyn A Henderson on September 18, 2017 at 7:48 pm
For a telecommunications company, a marketing analyst may want to create a list of customers who use both premium TV and Cable services. To accomplish this, the customer table would be joined to both the tv_service table and the internet_service table.The query itself would address only customers who have premium for both services.
Kazi Niaz Ahmed on September 18, 2017 at 8:29 pm
If courses were in one table and student details were in another table, then we would need to join the two tables to find out which students of which major took a particular course or a particular section of a course e.g. to answer the question "how many students majoring in MIS took the BA 2996 course in a particular semester" we need to join the tables Student and Course.
Kazi Niaz Ahmed on September 18, 2017 at 8:39 pm
If there is information about students in one table and courses the students took in another table then we can join the two tables to find out how many students from a particular major took a particular course.
Joseph Cannella on September 18, 2017 at 8:55 pm
Thinking back to our first assignment, there are plenty of examples of joins that we could perform. For example, if I wanted to know how many trips a particular driver has handled, I could join the driver table with the trip table. This join would show me all the all the trips associated with each driver ID. We could also join the trip and customer tables in order to determine how many trips each customer has taken.
Brendon K Lee on September 19, 2017 at 10:28 am
You could use join tables at a restaurant. If a customer orders drinks, food, and a gift card, a join table could be used to consolidate all the customer's information. The unique key would be order # or check #. The join table would allow the customer and restaurant to see the order in one receipt even though all three items (drinks, food, and gift card) are from different departments.
Catherine A Troxell on September 19, 2017 at 12:03 pm
A situation in which you could use a join to retrieve information from a set of multiple tables is if you are trying to find out how much one specific employee in a database gets paid. For example, you could have an Employee table, with EmployeeID as its PK, a Wage Rate table that also has EmployeeID as a PK, and an Hours Worked table with the actual hours that also uses EmployeeID as a PK. You could use a join to join all three tables by their PK in common to retrieve this information from the database.
Ethan Scott Mandel on September 19, 2017 at 12:28 pm
If I was hired as a data analyst for a particular chain of bar/restaurants that wanted to know which days of the week were highest 24-hours for ordering a particular type of beer. This data retrieval would require the Order and Product(Beer) tables and the joining key would be the Order-Product table which has an additional "Date" & "quantity" fields. This join would enable the data analyst to better-inform management of which beers to order more inventory and when in the week to place these orders, as well as which beers management might want to pull from their beer lists.
Isha Pandya on September 19, 2017 at 2:40 pm
Venmo is an app that allows you to pay and request money from your friends. Venmo could track transactions by creating a table for customers and a table for transactions. Venmo could then link the tables with certain attributes like amount and date. Venmo could see how much money total a customer has received on a certain day.
Thuy Ta on September 19, 2017 at 3:17 pm
The Global Programs Department has to contact with many university partners in all over the world to create the partnership and allow students from both universities can exchange or study abroad. In this case, we have one table 'partner' which includes all the information for other universities, and one table 'meeting' includes all the meeting, information, message that we have with those partners. So when we ask the question who that partner is that and what the last conversation we had with them, we have to use a join to retrieve information from partner table and meeting table.
Liting Li on September 19, 2017 at 5:26 pm
If we want to retrieve information about one specific student and the courses that they have taken over the semesters, we would have one table "student" which includes their name, dob, address, etc, and one table "courses" that includes all the courses that the university has. In this case, we can join the two tables together, to find out what are the courses that this student has already taken.
John Saviello on September 19, 2017 at 7:43 pm
In high school I had a retail job at a sporting goods store. We had a reward system that gave customers points depending on how much they spent. This reward system might have included a customer table (first name, last name, customer ID) and a purchases table (amount, date, time). We can link these two tables to track a particular customer and their purchases to keep a record of their spending history and then reward points once they have spent the designated amount to receive reward points.
Katherine R Taraschi on September 19, 2017 at 8:56 pm
A situation in which you would have to join tables is if a University had students in one table and majors in another table. To find out how many students from Chester County, Pennsylvania are MIS majors, you would have to join tables.
Raquel Alvarado on September 19, 2017 at 9:17 pm
Say Temple University wants to know how many students are currently taking MIS2502. In order to retrieve this information you would need two tables, one as "student" and the other one as "course". You would also need attributes like "TuID" and "CourseNumber" in order to filter your data better. When you join these two tables, it will give you the amount of students that are taking MIS2502.
Brooke Schisler on September 19, 2017 at 10:18 pm
If you are coaching a minor league baseball team, you could perform a join on the tables "Player" and "Games". You could determine which players attended a game on a particular date. This could help you keep track of your team's attendance stats to be able to reward players with "perfect attendance" or for attending a particular game.
Adam J Wolf on September 20, 2017 at 12:02 am
An example of a situation where you could use a join to retrieve information from a set of tables is if you wanted to know how many videos games Adam Wolf has bought at a store.
In this scenario, you would need to join the order table and the customer table through the Customer_ID primary key. This allows for the access of the essential query information (the customer's first name and last name of the customer) needed to count all of the customers ordered video games. Without joining the two tables, SQL could not retrieve that information.
Shelby Karayanis on September 20, 2017 at 3:22 am
I considered an online platform such as Youtube, which stores information about their Youtube partners who they pay, and also users who purchase their unique services such as Youtube Red. Youtube might want to examine how many of their partners also choose to purchase Youtube Red. To do so they may have to join two or more tables depending on the complexity of the database.
Ashwini Vatsamanu on September 20, 2017 at 10:21 am
A music school that offers group classes for students will need to use a join to find out what group class a student may belong to if they have a database for the school. For example, a school may have a database where students are in one table (with attributes such as Student ID- Primary Key, First Name, and Instrument ID-Foreign Key)) and instruments in another table (with attributes such as Instrument ID – Primary Key, Classification, and Group Class) In order to create a join, the school must create a query to combine the student table and the instrument table through the Instrument ID attribute.
Sayem Rahman on September 20, 2017 at 11:23 am
An example of a table join would occur if you were trying to determine which hotel rooms were booked by a particular customer. For this, you would need two tables. One table would include all the information about the customer. The second table would include all the information about the hotel room being booked. The one thing that both would have in common would be the Customer ID, and this is where the tables would join.
Alyssa M Buitrago on September 20, 2017 at 11:24 am
A situation where you can use join to get information from a set of tables would be for trying to determine customer loyalty from purchase history. If you wanted to pull the purchase history of a particular set of customer you would need the customer, order, product, and product order tables. Thus, you will be able to sort which customers purchased the most in a particular period.
Kevin Nguyen on September 20, 2017 at 12:37 pm
A situation where you would need to join data tables to get information would be which new restaurants at temple were the most popular. To do this temple can link the restaurant table to the transactions table. From there Temple can see where students are spending their money and what they are buying.
Michael Johnathan Sharpe on September 20, 2017 at 1:24 pm
A situation where I would possibly need to use a join and retrieve information from a set of tables would be if I wanted to know which of my customers bought a specific product or used a specific service, I would have customer information in one table and the product/service in another table and join the two to find what I am looking for.
Vienna Catherine Piazza on September 20, 2017 at 1:49 pm
Spotify, a music streaming service, can use information from their database to determine what age groups listen to certain types of music. For example, Spotify can join the tables "Customer Info" and "Music Genres" to determine if different age groups prefer different styles of music. This can also help Spotify make suggestions to their users on new music from certain genres.
Lee Chan on September 20, 2017 at 2:24 pm
A situation where you use a join to retrieve information from a set of tables would be looking up a employee in a department. For example, a company has different departments, each department have different employees, and each employee would have his/her own employee ID associated with the department ID. In order to look up an employee, tables such as department and employee will need to be join from to retrieve information of an employee in the department.
Megan Rolfes on September 20, 2017 at 3:01 pm
A scenario where a join could be used is if you like a specific author and are looking to read a new book by them. You would have book in one table with a primary key of Book_ID and info like the genre, length, etc. Author would be in another table with a primary key of Author_ID and containing info like first name and last name. You can join these two tables to create a Book-Genre table containing both primary keys. Then, you would be able to find a list of all the books written by the author you like.
Nicholas Schratz on September 20, 2017 at 3:37 pm
The first situation that comes to mind is if Temple University wanted to know what students in a section of a course. For example, there may be a table called "MIS 2502" and another table called "Students". From the MIS 2502 table, you can find the unique identifier of section_ID, and then in the student's table you would have an element of what course sections the students were enrolled in, in this example their "section_ID". This commonality would be the area you would join the tables.
Alexa A Gerenza on September 20, 2017 at 3:45 pm
Sites on the internet such as ticket resellers can use these to track their customers. For instance, how many times have I logged in and purchased a ticket to what venue with what artist? This allows them to have a deeper insight into they venues that i attend to target that more as well as the type of music I like to target in that genre.
Christopher M Filice on September 20, 2017 at 7:26 pm
One situation where I had to use a join to retrieve information from a database was during my internship two summers ago in the mortgage department of Firstrust. Specifically, I had to see the values of all the mortgages associated to an individual and their income level. Also, the values of the mortgages was in the mortgage table and a persons income level was in the customers table. Furthermore, the two tables where linked by the customers ID. So, I had to join the two tables to retrieve this information.
Elizabeth Crawley on September 20, 2017 at 9:03 pm
A situation where you could use a join to retrieve information is when a gym company needs to keep track of what customers are in a class they offer. If they are looking for customers in their yoga class who live in Norristown, you could join the customer table and class table. This way you could see who is registered for the class and where they are from.
Sean Hourihan on September 20, 2017 at 9:14 pm
If you worked in the ticketing office for the Eagles, you might want to figure out where a customer's seats are for a specific game. To do this, you would have to join the customer table and ticket table to find out the section, row and seat number for the ticket for the customer.
Madeline Ross on September 20, 2017 at 9:24 pm
A situation where you could use join to retrieve information from a set of tables would be to determine the age of which customers are buying a product. You would join the customer table, the age table, and the product table to see the age demographic of most of the customers buying that product. How a company advertises a product can depend on the age of the buyer, so knowing that information could increase sales.
Marco Vinicio Prado on September 20, 2017 at 10:55 pm
A situation where a set of tables are joined to retrieve information can be in finding the number of students in a class section with a particular grade (take <90 for example). The table joins would include student and course – looking for a section ID and grade field within that range.
Michael Sorokach on September 20, 2017 at 11:00 pm
Let's say you have a store with a loyalty rewards program. It sells groceries or whatever. In this store, customers may be able to use rewards, such as discounts, at the time of purchase if they had previously spent a certain amount of money at the store. To know whether or not a certain customer would qualify for this discount, a query would need to be made between a table tracking customers signed up to the rewards program and a table that tracks the past orders in the store. An individual would be able to join the tables and match the customer ID in the customer table with the customer ID assigned to orders made in the order table and find out the total amount of money that customer made at the store.
Jennifer Kucherovsky on September 20, 2017 at 11:39 pm
One situation where a company can use a join is if a bookstore wants to determine which book they sell is the most popular. In this situation, there would be separate tables for customers and books. These tables would need to be joined to determine the appropriate information.
Kamchinn Cheang on September 21, 2017 at 4:02 am
One example in which you can use a join is an NBA team and its Player Efficiency Rating (PER). By using a table between the two, you can see who is the most effective on the field given the amount of minutes that are spent on the floor. Additionally, you can also see the correlation between a set of players and whether or not they are compatible on the floor together.
Jake M Hymson on September 21, 2017 at 7:56 am
I actually moderate a site that makes active use of lots of database information, although it's not exactly MySQL, I figure the example is still applicable. On a site, you have accounts, and you have chat posts, and each chat post has its own individual ID, while each user also has a user ID. You would need to join inside the database to see which chat posts were made by which users, by using the user ID as a foreign key inside of the post ID. With that, you can find out information such as when a user was both online and active inside the site chat, or how many posts they made in an hour.
Matthew Miller on September 21, 2017 at 8:27 am
An example where a join would be useful is inside a warehouse. Warehouses are large and in order to be efficient, you must know where to pull a product so it can be replenished. If you have an order table and a product table (location being an attribute of product), you can link the order table and product table required to find its geographical location in the warehouse.
Jenna Hannum Bahel on September 21, 2017 at 8:42 am
If a company wanted to see from their current customer base what age range were spending the most money you may need to join tables. You could take the customer table and find the date of birth and then the order table to see the total cost of each order made and see if there was a correlation between the two you could better segment your marketing strategy.
Joshua S Lyons on September 21, 2017 at 9:50 am
In the National Hockey League, they use advanced metrics (Corsi) to determine a players efficiency in the league. Corsi would be established calculating shot attempt differential while at even strength play. In this case, you would join shots on goal, missed shots on goal, and blocked shot attempts at the opposing teams net in one table and join it with the same exact statistics but against your teams net to formulate a corsi rating.
Melissa R Chesnick on September 21, 2017 at 10:05 am
One example of joining two tables could be for a website offering multiple discount codes on a purchase during a holiday weekend. Customers are in one table, and the discount codes are in the other. This way the website can access which customers used which discount codes for their purchases.
Noah Joseph Lynch on September 21, 2017 at 10:27 am
If Netflix wanted to determine how well different programs did in different regions of the world, a join could be used. If tables consisting of customer information and view count were joined, Netflix could gauge how well a particular show was performing by location.
Anushka Agarwal on September 21, 2017 at 11:04 am
I am a writing tutor at the Business Communications Center. A way for us to use a join is to have a table with clients and the time that they scheduled an appointment and another table with the tutor who is working at that time. If we joined these two tables, we could determine which tutor will have which client.
Sung Ho Lee on September 21, 2017 at 11:26 am
Joining tables can aid enterprise and entities make better decisions and organize data better. As the question poses, in order to find out which orders were put by customers in Pennsylvania, there is a plethora of entities or tables you can join with customers. For example, if the company grouped the drivers and deliveries, or transportation systems with the customers table, we could see which orders were put by whom. This, eventually, will ensure conglomerate of data that allows the company to better forecast and predict consumer behavior.
Connor P Quinn on September 21, 2017 at 11:28 am
A situation where you could use a join to retrieve information could be from analyzing customers and products. For example, you can see which products are purchased from the customers. To achieve this information, you would join the product and customer tables. This data could be used to see what is the highest grossing product and what is the lowest grossing product. Also, it will show you which product the customers actually enjoy.
Vincent A Ronzano on September 21, 2017 at 11:34 am
One situation where you could use a join to retrieve information from a set of tables would be if you wanted to find out which wide receivers scored the most touchdowns in the NFL for a specific season. Wide receivers would be in one table, touchdowns scored would be in another table, and also the season or the year would be in another table. You would need to join these tables to find out who scored the most touchdowns in which specific season.
Nicholas March on September 21, 2017 at 11:35 am
One way that my job would use a join is to see what types of memberships a customer has. There are multiple types of memberships, some of which include a subscription. They are all tied to the customer using their Member ID which is a randomly assigned string of numbers when the customer signs up for rewards.
Kevin K. Nguyen on September 21, 2017 at 11:38 am
A situation where I could retrieve information from a set of tables would be to see which type of membership people have at Planet Fitness. Certain people can have the regular membership that's $10/month or the special Black Card membership that is $21/month. By joining the customer table with the membership table, you can seek out how popular the Black Card deal is in contrast to the regular membership.
Hiep Tran on September 21, 2017 at 11:44 am
An example could be purchasing items on eBay or the seller's information; you can see additional information of the seller or buyer, such as feed backs, purchase history, and etc. The join table are the feedback that are assigned with the user, or the buyer and their purchase.
Justin Colon on September 21, 2017 at 11:48 am
A situation where a join would be involved is if the Eagles wanted to look at jersey sales to determine which player to put on a new billboard outside of The Linc. The Eagles could do this by looking at which player had the most jerseys sales. In this case, there would be a join between the player and jersey tables.
Tonatiuh Paredes on September 21, 2017 at 12:13 pm
A situation in which you would join two tables would be in a wholesale distributor database, wherein one table you would have the restaurant's in the US and on the other table, you would have the shipping orders. By joining these two tables you could figure out what shipping orders are being shipped to restaurants in Pa.

Old school 1983
I know it's premature, but if cingrani continues his success would the Reds consider moving a starter for outfield help? I know the Rockies started hot but the idea of trading for dexter fowler was around this winter. They were looking for top pitching for him. Would anyone do bailey or maybe even cueto for the guy? He'd give the reds legit centerfield defense a legit two hitter and an insurance policy if choo could not be signed after the season. Honestly I would consider cueto straight up. He's great but I think talentwise he's maxed out where I see bailey getting better and better. Any thoughts? I know I'm going to get a few I'm crazies and this isn't a video game but I think I'd rather talk about something intriguing than arguing about a hypothetical trade for career backup denorfia.
