The other day I was talking to a dear friend of mine who has asked me to help with her weight loss journey. After she sent through her before photos, she launched into a tirade of negative comments about herself and her body and it made me sad. The familiarity of her self-loathing ticks so many boxes that we all have and it made me want to flip the negativity off-switch.

Mike Baron, U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Division
In just minutes, fog, heavy rain and even snow can reduce visibility on the water to just a few yards, leaving boaters confused as to their position and what obstructions may be around them. At sunset, recognizable shoreline features disappear, often replaced by unfamiliar and confusing lights that leave many boaters disoriented and unsure how to get home safely. At night, depth perception and color recognition are impaired. Other boats may be operating without lights, in violation of federal law requiring navigation lights from sunset to sunrise and during periods of restricted visibility. Without lights, boats can be very difficult to see on the water.
Operating a boat when visibility is restricted increases the risk of hitting fixed objects in the water and colliding with other boats. That's why it's prudent to lessen your risk by taking preventive action that includes slowing to a safe speed, energizing your navigation lights and sounding the appropriate sound signals for your vessel type, as required by the Navigation Rules, available online through the Coast Guard Navigation Center at navcen.uscg.gov. It is also important to post responsible lookouts who will use all of their senses to determine what lies ahead in time to avoid an accident. A lookout should scan 360 degrees, as accidents at night can occur when a vessel is overtaken from behind.
Illustrations and descriptions of the specific lighting requirements for every type of watercraft are provided in the Navigation Rules, which should be your primary source of information. Briefly speaking, however, these are the navigation lights required for recreational vessels (see yellow box).
Sidelights: These red and green lights are visible to another vessel approaching from the side or head-on. The red light indicates a vessel's port side, the green the starboard side. These lights are also referred to as combination lights when displayed on a vessel's bow, or, in the case of a sailboat, when on top of the mast.
Stern Light: This white light can be seen from behind or nearly behind the vessel.
Masthead Light: This white light shines forward and to both sides and is required on all power-driven vessels. Since a masthead light must be displayed by all vessels when under engine power, the absence of this light indicates a sailboat under sail.
All-Round White Light: On power-driven vessels less than 39.4 feet in length, this light may be used to combine a masthead light and stern light into a single white light that can be seen by other vessels from any direction. This light also serves as an anchor light when sidelights are turned off.
Remember that displaying the proper navigation lights at night and during periods of restricted visibility is only half the issue. You also need to be able to identify and interpret the navigation lights you see on other boats.
After dark, the painted color patterns of Aids to Navigation are generally replaced by a configuration of lights. You will need to be able to identify these navigation aids to help determine your position and stay out of dangerous situations.
To get an accurate position, use a nautical chart. The chart will show you the position of the Aids to Navigation, their light characteristics and what landmarks you may be able to see and identify once the sun goes down.
In addition to navigation lights, the Navigation Rules require all vessels to carry sound-producing devices for use during meeting, crossing and overtaking situations. Sound signals are also required during periods of reduced visibility to make other boaters in the area aware of your relative position and the status of your vessel; for example, a power-driven vessel under way and making way is required to sound one prolonged blast at intervals not to exceed two minutes.
Is it easy to get lost or disoriented when visibility is limited? It is. Things look very different at night, which can be stressful for inexperienced boat operators. Expect the unexpected. Practice good risk assessment when deciding whether to boat in the dark. Make sure your required safety equipment is on board, including visual distress signals, and that everyone is wearing a life jacket. Take a boating course through your local Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadrons or state boating authority, and educate yourself on best practices for boating at night.
Boating in the Fog
Fog can develop very quickly and brings an increased risk of collision. In fog, if other boats can't see you they need to hear you. If you see fog moving in, do the following before your visibility becomes seriously reduced:
1. Fix your position on a chart or mark it on an electronic plotter.
2. Reduce your speed to the point where you can stop your vessel in half the distance you can actually see.
3. Turn on your navigation lights.
4. Instruct any passengers to help you keep watch – by sight, sound and smell preferably in the bow.
5. Begin sounding one prolonged blast on your horn (four to six seconds) every two minutes while under way and making way, and two prolonged blasts every two minutes when under way and stopped. Continue until the fog lifts and visibility significantly improves.
If you decide to anchor your vessel and shut off the engine, the sound signals change. While you are at anchor, you must rapidly ring your bell for five seconds at intervals of not more than one minute. This lets other vessels know where you are and what your status is.

Huge jump in the cost of university study in Australia
If you are thinking about rocking off to study at a university in Australia, start saving now. Your costs look likely to rocket.
The Australian government plans to increase the costs of university courses from the start of next year, and to make Kiwis who aren't Australian citizens or permanent residents pay significantly higher fees to study in Australia.
Welcome to the A$100,000+ BA, BSc or BComm.
No subsidy means much bigger fees to study
At present New Zealand students are treated as Australian domestic students, meaning they qualify for Australian government support with university fees. The same thing happens here with the NZ government paying universities around two thirds of the cost they charge for your courses. International students here and in Australia don't get that help, so their fees are often three or four times what a local pays.
If the changes come into effect next year, Kiwis starting study in Australia will face massive rises in their fees. Some believe that these course costs will rise at an average of about $9,000 more per year for Kiwi students. The cost of your bog standard Aussie bachelor degree just went up by almost A$30,000, and your specialist degrees like medicine will go even more stratospheric.
You may be eligible for an Aussie student loan
To soften this huge hike in costs, Kiwi students will potentially become eligible to take student loans out in Australia. These are actually more generous to students that are loans in NZ. The new changes will now have you start repaying your Australian HELP loan when you earn A$42,000 or more in a year, and the repayments start at a 1% rate rising to 8% when you earn well over A$100,000. In NZ you will start to repay your loan when you earn just $19,000, and here they take 12% of every dollar you earn.
Learn about student loans in Australia – are you eligible?
For some years Australian universities have been luring the best New Zealand students across the Tasman with the lure of paying domestic fees being one of the sweeteners thrown in. With that enticement gone and fees being massivly hiked up, expect that stream of talent heading to Australia to study to potentially slow to a trickle from next year.
Still interested? Here's the best ranked Australian universities in 2017

We were evenly divided on this book last night but as we are book champions I'm reblogging this very positive, insightful post which I found very helpful.
Love, death and the wild, wide world
Helen MacDonald's aching, raw story of loss and relationship speaks so much of longing that reading it is as much about being fed, sustained by grief, as her hawk is fed by the death it has dealt. Indeed the two, love and death, are linked.
We carry the lives we've imagined as we carry the lives we have, and sometimes a reckoning comes of all the lives we have lost
We love because we will lose, or be lost to, that which we love. It's the presence of death which fiercens the love. Mabel, Helen's hawk, is of course overwhelmingly real – but that reality is thickened by all the metaphors accreting to her. The potency is the potency of what the hawk represents, in history, in literature, in imagination to us.

So last Thursday I thought I'd be cute and post a funny little comic about swine flu starring the lovable Pooh & Piglet. I should have known better than to pick on the poor little creatures of Hundred Acre Wood. They didn't deserve it. And what do I get for doing that? Well, karma has come around and bit me in the ass. Or should I say bit my daughter?
Poor little Lizzie has been struck with the Swine Flu. Not only does she have that miserable affliction, she ALSO has Mono. Really? Really? The poor kid can't even get her self to the bathroom. Forget the fact that the grading period ends next week and her grades will most likely take a nose dive, she doesn't even have the energy to watch her beloved Degrassi.
If I catch swine flu, I will not be a happy camper!! I've never washed my hands more in my life. Here's a glass of water. *wash my hands* Let me feel your forehead. *wash my hands* Time to take your medicine. *wash my hands*
Talk about paranoid. I'm already a germaphobe, now I'm going stir crazy. Steve walked in the door from work tonight and I smiled from ear to ear as if he'd shown up with chocolates and flowers. Reinforcements! Yay! Please just put me in a bubble and wake me when it's over!
OK. Enough about me. The poor girl is moaning for me from the other room, so mom computer time is over.
Damn pigs!

Thu Aug 24, 2006
As I finally read the title story in Wallace's recent collection last night, I noticed a reference to Kurt Eichenwald's Serpent on the Rock that I couldn't quite place. I thought of an experimental or symbolist Austrian writer, perhaps, one whom the precious narrator might choose for his livre de chevet. The actual book was, of course, even more suitable; but these hyperintellectualized interior portraits (think of the last brief interview with a hideous man, the law student) seem comments only on the impossibility of narrative projection or empathy. I am reminded of the voluntary autistics from Greg Egan's Distress.
Googled a bit to see what others had said, cringing in anticipation of what I may find after writing something both brief and unrevealing above, I see, from a small sample (one not including Stephen Burn's perceptive piece), that it must be horrifying indeed to write, publish, and be met with so little understanding. But see above.

The Road Home: A Contemporoary Exploration of the Buddhist Path
This book is based on Buddhist thought and theory yet a follower of any religion will gain from reading The Road Home. You will receive a deeper understanding of the interrelation of all people, how our limited space on this earth is shared and how we need to value other people and the earth to gain a future that is better with less conflict. If you're curious about Buddhism and meditation, but find the language of spiritual books too woo woo or impenetrable, this book is for you. It's smart, funny and a very accessible guide to contemporary Buddhism.

How to find the right one (and it's not "are we there yet?")
I am nearing the end of the road here. Less than a month until the big day and I am nervous, excited, and starting to feel ready (or at least as ready as a person can be to run 26.2 miles).
Over the past few weeks, I have learned so much about running and about my body, things that my previous seven years spent running never taught me. Phrases like negative splits (running the first half of a race slower than the second) and hitting the wall (the final 6.2 miles, which are often thought to be the hardest) are now entering my vocabulary.
I have perfected the art of negative splits over my last two long runs and my pace is much improved. I need to keep an 8:23 pace and this week's 19-miler was 8:31. Although it is still 8 seconds short, I am confident that on race day, if all goes well, the adrenaline will help push the pace. At least I hope.
As for motivation (and distraction) techniques, I am still searching. I have found by focusing on the faces of people I love—my husband, my mother, my children—I am in less pain, but the math equations and mental puzzles that help others only serve to make my pain worse.
Most of all, I am in need of a mantra, a simple phrase veteran marathoners repeat again and again to themselves in order to make it through the last, most grueling part of their long races.
As yet, I have none.
To be sure, I talk to myself, sometimes crying, sometimes screaming, "push it mother !@#&!(&" (and yes, I run mostly abandoned roads at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning lest people think I am insane). But I have yet to find my rallying cry, the words that will help get me from the 20-mile warm-up to the end of the final 10k.
I have tried a few, most of which involve cursing (those I will not mention):
You Can Do It: too trite and at this point overused to the point where I can not avoid using Rob Schneider's Cajun accent even in my head because of Water Boy (thanks, Adam Sandler).
You've Got This One: Doesn't quite do it for me or roll off the tongue. Does not motivate when I am pushing myself to run an 8:10 pace when I feel like walking.
Push It: this one actually seems like it could work, although it reminds me a little of labor and a lot of Salt n' Pepa. Still, it is a frontrunner.
Keep It Coming: I have to thank KC and the Sunshine Band for this gem. I actually like it a lot except somehow I inevitably end up bopping my head and swinging my arms while singing, "don't stop it now, don't stop it no," which is adorable and all, but expends valuable energy and may annoy my fellow marathoners.
In the Bag: This one just makes no sense, but 15 miles into a run in the blazing sun with several hills left to climb, random thoughts start to fire. You can see the results.
None of these has quite reached mantra quality yet. I am still seeking that perfect one, but with only four weeks left, I have to get cracking.
This week I did discover that labor breathing is actually a great way to overcome some of the harder points of the run. I was doing a lot of rhythmic breathing, relaxing my jaw and unclenching my fists—all techniques cribbed from my doula—and they work, especially the breathing.
This week's 19-miler was my fastest yet and I owe it all to my final two miles spent pushing three breaths out through pursed lips and then three through the open mouth.
Somehow it always comes back to labor. And I can do it. Yes, I can.

Acrylic & Watercolor Painting
My acrylic and watercolor paintings portray a moment in time, using texture and harmonious colors to express a mood or emotion. The background is often abstracted, with the figures or objects emerging but connected to it. The entire painting expresses energy and joy. I begin my acrylics and watercolors by pouring paint on the canvas or paper, thus creating an abstract, texturized background. I then try to integrate a recognizable subject into this background. A strong use of light and dark patterns flowing throughout the painting unifies the abstract and the real.

Growing in Unity Day 2
Thanks to those of you who visited me yesterday. If you didn't, feel free to scroll back to yesterday's post to see what I made. The more comments you post, the better your chance to win 2 Itty Bittys of your choice from Unity Stamp Company. This week I am sharing some of my favorite techniques and things I love to create. Today, I would like to share some cards using my own designed paper. The first card uses the streaking method. I have shared this method before on my blog. I like to use makeup triangles, dip them in rubbing alcohol, put a drop of a few different re inkers, color wash, dylusion sprays on the end and then run the makeup triangle across everyday photo paper. You can make great plaids, stripes, even waves or circles with this technique. Here is the card I will also be entering for Unity's {be inspired} color challenge which runs each month. There is also a card sketch and layout sketch you can enter for.
My second and third cards use the shaving cream method. Start with a plate full of shaving cream,
spray or drip different colors onto the shaving cream,
run a straw (or skewer, end of a paintbrush etc.) through the shaving cream to swirl the colors,
place the photo paper on shaving cream,
gently take off shaving cream with an old gift card, sturdy clothing tag etc, wipe remainder off with paper towel and voila.
Let dry a bit and you can use your beautifully designed paper however you wish. You will never end up with the same pattern twice.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today and I hope you will try these methods. The shaving cream method is so much fun, but wear gloves if you don't want to get ink on your hands! Have a GREAT day!

They are comfortable and expand to fit very securely, meaning no leaks. I can now go out and get on with my day without constantly worrying about leaking. "

"there are absolutely perfect for me. i have had my period for 3 years and i was never able to find the right tampon for me but these have worked great i definitely recommend "

"So wish you would. Make an ultra in application form as super plus extra only lasts a couple of hrs before it needs to be changed "
12 June 2018
"I have never used tampons before ,and I only got my period last month . my mum said that I'm to young .I'm going to wait until I'm used to my cycle but I want to familiarize myself with tampons so as I'm not scared of them , I'm thinking of buying applicator, what do guys think?x "

"I have used lil-lets tampons for a number of years ever since I chanced upon the higher absorbancy. However I really wish that they did the ultra absorbancy with applicators. I often buy my products from Savers or Bodycare and find they are cheapest. Other stores don't often stock the super plus extra or often only have the non-applicator. I feel lil-lets needs to really sell its brand more as I believe it beats the leading brand which often outshadows by name alone. I feel that many more women would benefit from higher absorbancy especially those suffering with heavier periods. "
27 April 2018
"Hi Annie, if you have a local Savers near you try them, they stock the entire range. Alternatively, your local Boots will order them in for you as a special order at no extra cost."
25 April 2018
"I like Lillets better than any other brand as they expand widthways. However in the last 5 months it seems that less and less shops are selling the compact applicator range. This month I looked for it in Tesco, Asda, local Boots and Superderug and they had none of this range. "
04 April 2018
"I only use the lil lets compact applicator tampons. They expand width ways and are comfortable to use.
My only problem is I can't find a stockist for the super extra plus so I always buy online which is a pain if I forget to order!! Why don't supermarkets stock this brand in all sizes! They do the other brand.
Please don't change anything about this product it's fab. "
03 April 2018
"Hi Xcountry, we're glad to hear you love our tampons, but sorry to learn that your local Tesco no longer stocks them. Sainsbury's, Boots, Superdrug and Savers, along with Ocado, all stock our SmartFit compact range of tampons."
02 April 2018
"Hi, it seems that Tesco is not stocking the applicator range anymore (tried different stores) - is this just temporary or permanent? Please advise where to buy them now. Ta."
27 March 2018
"Always use Lil-lets, no other brand match up, comfort or leakage wise. Finding it increasingly difficult to get the applicator Super Plus, no supermarkets stock them anymore, have to bulk order from Boots. Please say you are not discontinuing them! Would prefer if all sizes had cardboard applicators though. Please reduce the plastic, think of the environment."
26 February 2018
"The super plus extra has been a god send, since developing heavy periods 18 months ago, and no leaks like with other brands, and I don't have to use a pad anymore wished you made the ultra in applicator form too, as I need them for the first couple of days "
10 September 2017
"Just wanted to let you know I think these are fab! Never tried your compact applicator range before but much better than the usual brand I have been buying 😜 Comfortable every time!"
31 May 2017
SmartFit™ Compact Applicator Super Plus
"By far the best I've ever tried! Extremely comfortable and I won't use anything else!"

SmartFit™ Compact Applicator Super
"These are the only tampons with applicators that expand with ways.... I find them so comfortable I won't use any others "
09 March 2017
"I am so impressed with these, they are so comfortable due to expanding in width rather than length and have prevented any leaking that I've experienced with other brands. Brilliant product very well designed tampons! "
Did you know that not all tampons expand lengthways? Lil-Lets SmartFit™ tampons work differently because they expand all the way round to give you great comfort, fit and protection.

Risotto, I Don't Think We're in Kansas AnymoreMarch 20, 2011
Risotto is certainly no newcomer to the table, but in case its charms and wonders have somehow slipped under your culinary radar, let me clue you in. Risotto is a classic Italian dish made with Arborio rice that is cooked in a broth until the starches break down and it becomes rich and creamy. Risotto is one of the most versatile dishes out there, and once you get the hang of the basic cooking process, the possibilities are virtually endless.
A few notes before you embark on your risotto journey:
First of all, don't make risotto if you're hungry. This advice may sound counter-intuitive, but keep in mind, it takes almost an hour to make – if you're starving you'll wind up playing "eat the pantry" and ruining your dinner before it's even on the table. Make it when you're almost hungry so it's ready when you are.
Secondly, don't plan on doing anything else while your risotto is cooking. You really have to nurture it (i.e. watch it like a hawk and stir it constantly). It demands your undivided attention.
Lastly, don't let these points intimidate you. If you've got the time and really have a taste for something special (or someone to impress), give it a try! It can be done vegan or vegetarian (as shown below), or beefed up with meat stocks or seafood. Either way, it's a very worthwhile dish to have in your repertoire.
Mushroom Asparagus Risotto
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (for vegan) or butter (for vegetarian)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ cup diced white onion
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- ½ cup dry white wine (I used some leftover Pinot Grigio I had in the fridge – doesn't need to be fancy)
- 3 ½+ cups vegetable (or chicken or beef) stock, as needed (could also use mushroom broth if you can find it in your grocery store)
- 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms, any variety
- 1 ½ cups chopped asparagus, parboiled
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan (optional)
In a large, shallow pan, sauté garlic and onions in oil/butter for 2-3 minutes. Add rice and cook 2-3 minutes, letting the fat coat each grain. Add wine all at once, stirring to allow rice to absorb wine. Once wine is almost completely absorbed, add broth ½ at a time, stirring continually to incorporate liquid. Add mushrooms halfway through, cooking with rice in broth. Cook until rice is just barely al dente and risotto is thick and creamy. Add asparagus. Finish with parmesan cheese and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Here is a few bird pictures taken at our bird feeder.
|Cardinal and Tufted Titmouse
|Male Cardinal
Not much new has been happening with the garden, but last weekend we started some seeds. We are still using the trusty Android program Timothy made to keep us on schedule with when things need to be done. If you haven't heard about our Garden Time program you can get it here. We did a "Season Reset" from last year which reset all the dates for this year, then reviewed all the crops in the list, adding new items for this year. We have 159 items in our list. This does include several sets of multiple varieties of the same crop we are planting. For example, we have 12 varieties of tomatoes we are trying this year. We also have multiple entries for the same crop used in staggered plantings such as lettuce, beets and radishes. Included in the mix are herbs, and flowers so it all adds up.
Here Shannon started 16 different kinds of seeds in her seed starting tray. Timothy found the seed packet in the box and updated Garden Time with the tag number on each Popsicle stick to keep track of what is started where. Some of the things early on our list to start were cabbage (2 varieties), onions (4 varieties), parsley (4 varieties) and a cactus mix just for fun.
|Newly filled seed starting tray with number designations
|Watering the starts with a spray bottle.
|Lots of newly sprouted seeds.
Here is a picture of our raised beds #11 and #12 from last week. You can see how the sun has been causing the beds to heat up and the snow to melt faster on the southern side. Currently there is still lots of snow on the ground but these tall beds are snow free.

Hello! Here's what you need to know on Wednesday.
1. British Prime Minister Theresa May is preparing to trigger Article 50 without knowing whether it's "revocable." The Brexit bill is set to be presented to the Queen in the next few days and upon its signing May can formally start the legal process through which Britain would leave the European Union. But legal authorities aren't sure whether Article 50 is reversible if Britain changes its mind.
2. Support for Scottish independence is at its highest-ever level, according to the Scottish Social Attitudes survey, which also suggested the popularity of the European Union has fallen.
3. The Netherlands is voting for its next prime minister today. The election is particularly meaningful as it is seen as a bellwether for the French and German elections later this year.
4. Far-right politician Geert Wilders — in the running to be the country's next leader — has pledged to "de-Islamise" the Netherlands. Among other pledges in the controversial leader of the Freedom Party's manifesto includes making the Netherlands independent "including from the EU."
5. Turkey's president has accused the Dutch of being responsible for Srebrenica — the biggest massacre in Europe since World War II. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed the Dutch for failing to prevent the killing of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims when Bosnian Serb forces overran the town in 1995. In response, Dutch Prime minister Mark Rutte has accused him of "a disgusting falsification of history." Erdogan's comments are expected to escalate a row between the two countries after the Dutch banned two Turkish ministers from addressing political rallies in The Netherlands.
6. The White House has released some information about US president Donald Trump's 2005 tax returns after MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show teased that it had obtained part of the forms.
7. Intelligence officials are not plotting a takeover of the US presidency. Vice President Mike Pence put to bed the claims made by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that officials were pushing for "a Pence takeover," calling the allegations "absurd."
8. A loophole in the 25th Amendment lets 14 people remove a sitting US president from office. The people who could depose Trump include Vice President Mike Pence and 13 of his 24-member Cabinet.
9. China is "ready to counter" the defensive US missile system meant to stop North Korean nukes. It comes as a South Korean court's decision to uphold the impeachment of Park Geun-hye, the country's former president, fanned hopes Seoul might put plans for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence system on hold.
10. Winter storm Stella hit Manhattan. Watch it move over the city in just 60 seconds.
And finally …
The parents in that viral BBC interview video have finally broken their silence.

DescriptionThe creation of a new database connection is a relatively expensive process on server side. The server needs to allocate new memory, create a new session, allocate all needed client information, authenticate the client and so on. On the other side, it does not make sense to keep keep connections open for the whole lifetime of a application, since this causes a higher session management overhead on server side due to many concurrent connections.
To handle those two issues, ADO.NET uses connection pooling. This means, the well known SqlConnection object from .NET framework is just a wrapper for the real, internal database connection. Whenever a new SqlConnection becomes opened it asks the connection pool for an existing, and currently not used, internal connection. If an existing, free connection is available ADO.NET wont create a new database connection but reuse the existing one. As soon as the connection is not needed any more it becomes sent back into the connection pool. If a connection is not used for a longer time it becomes automatically closed by the ADO.NET connection pooler, to release resources on SQL Server. To determine if an internal connection can be used for a current request by a SqlConnection, ADO.NET compares several (not all) connection string information. This includes authentication information, database name, transaction context enlisting configuration and so forth.
This blog post focuses on ADO.NET SqlClient and SQL Server. Some of the information might be different when working with other database servers or other data providers.
Myth Close and DisposeMany books and web resources preach that it is important to always Close and dispose a connection, to ensure that the internal connection will be sent back to the connection pool. Until .NET 3.5 even MSDN stated this, but this became fixed version 4.0. Both ways, calling the Close method or by disposing the SqlConnection will actually send the connection back to the pool. Since the using-directive provides a language integrated way to dispose a component as soon as it goes out of scope, I usually prefer this over calling the Close method in a try-catch-finally block.
Here's a little sample that shows that both ways cause a correct connection pooling:
string cnStr = "server=(local);database=Sandbox;trusted_connection=sspi;"; string sql = "SELECT connect_time FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@SPID"; SqlConnection cn1 = new SqlConnection(cnStr); // close the connection but don't dispose it cn1.Open(); using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn1)) { DateTime loginTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Console.WriteLine("New connection: {0}", loginTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); } cn1.Close(); // dispose but no close Thread.Sleep(500); using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) { cn.Open(); using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { DateTime loginTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Console.WriteLine("After Close only: {0}", loginTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); } } // result afer dispose but no close Thread.Sleep(500); using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) { cn.Open(); using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { DateTime loginTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Console.WriteLine("After disposing only: {0}", loginTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); } } cn1.Dispose(); Console.ReadLine();By returning the connect_time column from sys.dm_exec_connections for our current session id we retrieve the creation time of the connection from SQL Server.
As we see, in all cases we reuse the same, internal connection to SQL Server.
How a Pooled Connection becomes ResetSince ADO.NET does not know what happened in a previous session of a pooled connection, when it is returned to a new instance of a SqlConnection, it has to reset the connection before it can be safely reused for another session. When resetting a connection all created temporary objects become dropped, all previously allocated resources are freed and the initially connected database will be set - if it was changed in the previous session. This resetting is done by calling the SQL Server procedure sp_reset_connection.
This can cause some issues. The ADO.NET connection pooler does not reset the connection when it is sent back to the pool, but when it is returned to a new opening SqlConnection, as shown in the next sections.
In addition, the transaction isolation level will not be reset if you changed it in a previous session. If you change the transaction isolation level in some of your sessions you will need to manually reset it whenever you get a pooled connection. At the moment this behavior is by design, due to backward compatibility (see Microsoft Connect issue sp_reset_connection doesn't reset isolation level). (Thanks to Greg who suggested this!)
Temporary Tables and Named ConstraintsWhen working with temporary tables in SQL Server, there is still an issue, names of temporary tables only need to be unique within the current connection, but names of constraints need to be unique for all current connections. Since SQL Server 2005 and following versions it is possible to define constraints without specifying a name for them. Previous versions did not support this feature and the syntax to specify a name for a table constraint is, for sure, still valid. When executing the following SQL statement in two concurrent connections you get an error message:
CREATE TABLE #t1 ( Id INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT PK_TEMP PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED )Only the first connection is able to create the temp table, the second connection gets the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 There is already an object named 'PK_TEMP' in the database. Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
This also affects ADO.NET connection pooling. Say, we've got two different processes, the first creates a new entry in a database and the second one listens for those entries to process them. When the first process finishes its work without an explicit DROP of the temporary table, the connection stays open and the temporary table will stay in database until the connection is reused. If the second process tries to create the same temporary table it will receive the same exception.
Global Temporary TablesSame problem as described for constraints of usual temporary tables applies to global temporary tables. Their name needs to be unique over all concurrent SQL Server connections. If one process creates a global temp table and does not explicitly drop it, when closing/disposing the SqlConnection, the table will stay on the server until the current process opens another connection to this server (and database). This behavior can cause confusing errors in a production system.
Release of Temporary Allocated DataFor sure, since temporary tables stay available until a connection becomes reused, this also implies that all data, stored in those tables, stay allocated until the process exists or reuses the connection.
If we have a process that creates a temporary table and fills it with hundreds of thousands of rows those data will stay in tempdb for probably longer than expected.
One way to ensure all allocated resources and temp tables become cleaned as soon as the connection is closed would be to deactivate connection pooling. However, we should always try to avoid this. The cleanest way to avoid all previously described issues is to always, explicitly drop temporary objects.
Pooled Connection became InvalidIf an connection becomes invalid while it is in the connection pool, it will still be returned for next usage. This could be caused by network problems, a restart of the SQL Server service, a manual KILL of the connection on database side or several other reasons.
Here is a little example that can be debugged to show this:
string cnStr = "server=(local);database=Sandbox;trusted_connection=sspi;"; using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT @@SPID", cn)) { cn.Open(); Debug.Print("SPID: {0}", cmd.ExecuteScalar()); } // at this point, restart the service or KILL the connection on server side using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT @@SPID", cn)) { cn.Open(); Debug.Print("SPID: {0}", cmd.ExecuteScalar()); }When debugging this code and restarting the SQL Server service after the first connection became disposed and before the second connection becomes opened you will get an exception. In my case (since I'm working with a local instance of SQL Server):
A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)At the time of this post, there is no built-in support of ADO.NET for SQL Server that tells the resource pool to verify the connection before it is returned to the SqlConnection. However, if occasional network issues or other problems, that cause an invalid internal connection, sometimes happen in your environment, you can implement your custom connection validation in a factory method that creates your connections.
string cnStr = "server=(local);database=Sandbox;trusted_connection=sspi;"; SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr); cn.Open(); try { using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("DECLARE @i INT", cn)) { cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } } catch (SqlException ex) { if (ex.Message.StartsWith("A transport-level error has occurred ")) { cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr); cn.Open(); } else throw; } return cn;As you see, the connection sends a tiny SQL statement to the server before it is returned to the caller. If a transport-level exception occurs, the internal connection becomes removed from pool and another new connection will be created and returned. You can replace the "DECLARE @i INT;" SQL statement with an empty stored procedure called usp_VerifyConnection. This might be slightly faster (not tested, though), but will definitely look less confusing in SQL Server traces ;-).
Control the Connection Pool over Connection StringThe SqlConnection.ConnectionString provides several attributes that allow to control the behavior of ADO.NET pooling.
Connection Lifetime can be used to specify a maximum life time for a connection in seconds. When a connection is returned to the pool this value will be compared to the (client side) creation time of the connection. If the connections lifetime is timed out, it will be closed and not put into pool. Attention, this implies if a connection with connection is sent back into the pool before its lifetime elapsed and not used for a long time, it will still stay opened and reused for one more time!
// connection string with a lifetime of 10 seconds string cnStr = "server=(local);database=Sandbox;trusted_connection=sspi;connection lifetime=10"; string sql = "SELECT connect_time FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@SPID"; // create a new connection with 10 seconds lifetime and send it back to the pool using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { cn.Open(); DateTime connectTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Debug.Print("Connect time: {0}", connectTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); } // wait 15 seconds Thread.Sleep(15000); // aquire a new connection and release it using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { cn.Open(); DateTime connectTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Debug.Print("Connect time: {0}", connectTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); } // create another connection using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { cn.Open(); DateTime connectTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Debug.Print("Connect time: {0}", connectTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); }And here the output of this test:
Connect time: 12:47:07.617 Connect time: 12:47:07.617 Connect time: 12:47:22.837As we see, even if the specified connection lifetime is elapsed, the second connection will get the pooled connection. As long as the elapsed connection is not sent back to the pool it will stay active. Only the third connection retrieves a new created connection, since the connections lifetime was already elapsed as it was sent to the pool.
The default value for Connection Lifetime is zero, what means a maximum lifetime.
Min Pool Size and Max Pool Size can be used to specify a minimum/maximum count of pooled connections. The default value for Min Pool Size is zero, the default value of Max Pool Size is 100. When trying to use more concurrent connections than specified value of Max Pool Size you will get an exception.
The Pooling attribute (default 'true') says if connection pooling shall be used for the created connection or not. If you use a SqlConnection with pooling 'false' the database connection will always be newly created and closed after using it.
// connection string with "pooling=false" string cnStr = "server=(local);database=Sandbox;trusted_connection=sspi;pooling=false"; string sql = "SELECT connect_time FROM sys.dm_exec_connections WHERE session_id = @@SPID"; // create a new connection and print the current session id using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { cn.Open(); DateTime connectTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Debug.Print("Connect time: {0}", connectTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); } // create a new connection and print the current session id using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(cnStr)) using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn)) { cn.Open(); DateTime connectTime = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar(); Debug.Print("Connect time: {0}", connectTime.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")); }
And here is the output:
Connect time: 13:41:32.790 Connect time: 13:41:33.050
As we see, the connect time on server side is different for both connections where it would be equal if we would have reused the same internal connection for the second SqlConnection.
Enlist (default 'true') attribute is a more special than the other connection pooling related attributes of connection string. If you don't work with distributed systems and/or Systems.Transactions namespace, you wont need this attribute. The Enlist attribute is important if you need to control how to span transactions over more than one transactional sub-system (like database servers, WCF services, ...). If Enlist is set to 'true' and a parent transaction context is available for the static property System.Transactions.Transaction.Current, ADO.NET will automatically register the SQL connection and its transaction in this transaction context. If you commit your database transaction (implicit or explicit) the transaction will stay pending until the parent transaction becomes committed or rolled back. Today, the most common way to manage those parent transactions is utilizing the TransactionScope class.
A hypothetical system, that might use transaction scopes, is a order management system that automatically creates a shipping order by utilizing a suppliers web-service when an order becomes created or approved. Here we need to update/create new data in a local database and create a shipping order over a web-service within one transaction. If both systems support (and allow) transactions a transaction scope can be used to ensure that all data are either written or not.
If Enlist is set to 'false', a new connection will not be enlisted to an existing transaction scope and behave like no transaction scope was available. All database transactions become committed, independent if the parent transaction will fail or succeed.
Control the Connection Pool over static SqlConnection methodsIn addition to the control mechanisms provided by the connection string, ADO.NET SqlConnection provides two static methods to partially, or completely clear the current pool.
SqlConnection.ClearPool(SqlConnection) clears all pooled connections that match the provided connection - by its connection string.
SqlConnection.ClearAllPools clears all currently pooled SQL Server connections.
Pool FragmentationThere are two more possible issues with ADO.NET connection pooling. Though, I find both are well described at SQL Server Connection Pooling (ADO.NET), so I just quote the paragraphs for sake of completeness.
Pool Fragmentation Due to Integrated Security (Windows Authentication)
Connections are pooled according to the connection string plus the user identity. Therefore, if you use Basic authentication or Windows Authentication on the Web site and an integrated security login, you get one pool per user. Although this improves the performance of subsequent database requests for a single user, that user cannot take advantage of connections made by other users. It also results in at least one connection per user to the database server. This is a side effect of a particular Web application architecture that developers must weigh against security and auditing requirements.Pool Fragmentation Due to Many Databases
Many Internet service providers host several Web sites on a single server. They may use a single database to confirm a Forms authentication login and then open a connection to a specific database for that user or group of users. The connection to the authentication database is pooled and used by everyone. However, there is a separate pool of connections to each database, which increase the number of connections to the server.Two short things to the second quote. I would not restrict this possible issue to web applications. This kind of pool fragmentation can also happen on application servers that work with many databases on same database server. I don't know why MSDN suggests to use a explicit SqlCommand to change the database, instead of using the SqlConnection.ChangeDatabase instance method.
This is also a side-effect of the application design. There is a relatively simple way to avoid this side effect without compromising security when you connect to SQL Server. Instead of connecting to a separate database for each user or group, connect to the same database on the server and then execute the Transact-SQL USE statement to change to the desired database. The following code fragment demonstrates creating an initial connection to the master database and then switching to the desired database specified in the databaseName string variable.
// Assumes that command is a SqlCommand object and that // connectionString connects to master. command.Text = "USE DatabaseName"; using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection( connectionString)) { connection.Open(); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); }
