Unanswered: Thoughts on consolidating multiple queries into one table (function or SP)
I was messing around with stored procedures and I was wondering if creating a SP that populates a single table for reporting is a good idea?
I have ~10 queries that I have to currently run manually and was hoping to drop them into a physical table and then leverage that single table to pull into excel.
Some of my queries use virtual tables or CTE's, this is to get the aggregate set correctly.
If you wouldn't mind I would appreciate any ideas around this.
Essentially I am working out of a data warehouse and would like to eventually get all my queries in one SP or something similar and then call that query for a insert.
Speaking of which could you create a SP that has several selects than with that output drops the records into a single table by using an insert into query so the data from the all the queries would line up into the right columns?
Thanks for any insight I really do appreciate it.

I was able to create the stored procedure and add all my select statements to the SP. Just wondering if inserting from the SP into a table is a good idea.

Federal Health Clinic Opens in Grand Island
A new federally funded health care clinic in Grand Island will start seeing patients on Monday.
Area health care advocates say getting a federally qualified health care (FQHC) clinic in GI has been a project 15 years in the making.
The Heartland Health Center was green lit back in November when funding came through. They'll have three of what will be seven exam rooms ready for patients starting February 24.
A full-time nurse practitioner and part-time doctor will be on staff, as well as an Outreach and Eligibility worker to help patients get signed up for Medicaid, Medicare, or other insurance if needed.
HHC's director says they will help fill a void in rural Nebraska by serving people or families with or without insurance, and those on Medicare or Medicaid. FQHCs use a sliding fee to charge for their services that's based on household size and income.
"There are a lot of people that just do not qualify for Medicaid or Medicare and they can't afford to pay that insurance premium, it's just not there and so we're going to fill that gap for them," says CEO Terri Ford Wolfgram. "We're going to allow them to still be able to see medical providers at a reduced rate."
Board members say HHC will not be like an urgent care facility – they want it to become a place people make their "medical home" and get regular help at.
Plans to work more services like dental are in the works, and they're focusing on getting care started for pregnant women who otherwise have to drive to the federal clinic in Columbus for help.
"Within the next month or so we'll be able to see those moms for their prenatal checks here," says Teresa Anderson, HHC Board Treasurer. "We'll be working closely with area physicians to coordinate that care so that these people can really get the prenatal care they so desperately need."
Other federal clinics see patients from as far as 50 miles away, but in rural Nebraska, officials are expecting to see people from northern Kansas and north central Nebraska. Because of its federal status it doesn't matter where patients live, anyone who goes to the HHC will receive help.
HHC will be the seventh clinic of its kind in the state.

We have been blogging about the Cubs at GROTA for quite a while now. Through that spectrum, a number of events can be viewed as what they are - cyclic, not surprising, just a part of the game. A good example of this attitude can be seen, right now, in the play of other teams in the league, who remind me an awful lot of some of the better Cub teams that we've looked upon in the past.
What I remember most about our coverage of the winning seasons the Cubs have experienced since we started blogging 8+ years ago is that our cynicism outweigh our clinical analysis. Call it clynicism, if you will. When you follow a team as closely as we Cub fans do, the flaws eventually start to stand out above the merits. We no longer see the team that won 90+ games, including some real nail-biters. We see, instead, the closer who blew 12 of his 50 save opportunities. We see that only the #1 pitcher on the team has an ERA below 4. Or that the leadoff hitter has an OBP on par with Jeter's batting average. Or that the third baseman has an iron glove. Clearly, under such analysis, it should surprise nobody to see the Cubs get hammered by the "good teams" that actually made the playoffs.
Except that such a viewpoint is hardly an accurate analysis, even if it is common and even if it does happen cyclically, not just with us but with all teams.
Every team has flaws, but every good team is better than for which its most cynical fans give credit. Take a look at the Orioles right now. They are shocking baseball fans, because perpetual Oriole sucktitude is as perennial as the grass. It's especially surprising if you look closely. The Orioles, a 91-win-team right now, have one pitcher with 10-or-more wins. Conventional wisdom decries that if the Orioles don't have even a single pitcher with 15+ wins, then they must be a terrible team. Likewise, the Orioles have a sturdy offense which lacks stars. Nobody on their team will achieve 100 RBI this season; in fact no Oriole has more than 82 RBI as of this writing. Only 3 regulars on the team even have an OPS above .800.
And yet, when they reach the playoffs, as unlikely as it is, they could win.
And don't assume that the Yankees, a team that Baltimore is currently outplaying, will do much better. Yes, they have their nine-figure team, and that seems to be enough to win them 90+ games every year. But New York's pitching gets pretty shaky after Hiroki Kuroda and CC Sabathia. And while they are more offensively charmed than the Orioles, New York also lacks a 100 RBI player as of this writing (although Curtis Granderson, who has hit 40 bombs, is 2 away despite his Rob Deeresque batting average of .226).
Conventionally, I've had Cub fans explain to me, almost with glee, how a playoff team inherently sucks if they lack a single player who's driven in 100 RBI. But by now we know - RBI are not the end-all, be-all. It's more important to have a well-rounded team than to have a single pitch-around star who is known for knocking them in.
What I wonder, though, especially in regard to us cynical Cub fans, is what we'd be saying if we had the Orioles roster. Or the Rays. (Or, lordy, the Athletics, who are offensively anemic and whose pitching staff lacks a single front line ace.) I'm not suggesting, for example, that we'd be unhappy to be playing for the post season - I'm specifically wondering what we'd think our chances are with any of the rosters that'll make the playoffs this year. Would any of them make a cynical Cub fan feel confident in his team's chances?
Maybe the Tigers - they are just about the only team with a really dangerous-looking offense, or with more than one reliable-looking starting pitcher.
Nevertheless, perhaps we'd be better off if we just accepted that getting to the playoffs - whether through sprint or by limp - is no indicator to post season success. Maybe we'd be less worried if we just realized that no team is perfect; a team's flaws are evident to anybody who follows them more than just casually. The playoffs are often surprising for this very fact - it's not the best team that wins, but instead the hottest, or the luckiest.
One of these years, that'll be the Cubs.

PhotographyCorner.com Announces Vince Maiden of Ontario, Canada as the Winner of the 2010 Photograph of the Year Contest
Narrowed down from hundreds of entries through two rounds of community voting, Vince Maidens of Ontario, Canada has been announced as the winner of the PhotographyCorner.com 2010 Photograph of the Year Contest.
Barrie, Ontario, Canada February 8th, 2011 The 5th Annual PhotographyCorner.com ( http://www.photographycorner.com ) Photograph of the Year contest, which announced in early December 2010, recently concluded after two rounds of voting by the photography community. Once the votes were tallied, Vince Maidens of Creemore, Ontario, Canada was named the winner of the popular contest. The fifth Photograph of the Year contest held by PhotographyCorner.com, which featured five, high-profile sponsors with over $6,500 in prizes to be won, drew in hundreds of entries and thousands of votes. The top prize awarded to Vince Maidens consists of a variety of photography-related equipment, products and services, software and gift certificates valued at over $1,050, with the remaining prizes given to the top 10 finalists.
Vince Maidens took top honors with his photograph of a Great Horned Owl flying by, looking directly at the camera. The top 10 finalists, in order from 1st runner-up to 9th runner-up include: Kieran O'Connor of New South Wales, Australia; William Lee of Camas, Washington; Bill MacFarlane of ACT, Australia; Saulius Martynaitis of Kaunas, Lithuania; Paula McManus of West Beach, South Australia; Scott Hansen of Seabrook, South Carolina; Scott Williams of Cameron Park, California; Sudip Roychoudhury of Kolkata, India; and Dragos Ioneanu of Copenhagen, Denmark. All submitted entries can now be viewed in the Photo Galleries on PhotographyCorner.com ( http://bit.ly/2010poty ), with the top 30 entries from the final voting round viewable in the Photo Galleries here: http://bit.ly/2010potyfinalists.
With over $6,500 in prizes available to be won, and with first prize alone valued at over $1,050, the PhotographyCorner.com 2010 Photograph of the Year contest received hundreds of entries from all over the world. The entries were narrowed down to 177 photographs in 10 voting groups, where the top three entries in each group moved on to the final voting round, which ended on January 27th, 2011.
There are several things that set the contest apart from some of the other Best of the Year photography contests. Firstly, winners can be from anywhere in the world, not just limited to the US or Canada, making the contest truly a worldwide photography contest. In fact, some of the past winners are from various places around the world which include the USA, Sweden, the UK, Australia, Canada, Pakistan, Argentina, Israel, Africa, India, Serbia, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. In addition, instead of having a select group of judges pick a winner, the entire community voted on every photograph, broken down in several rounds. With this unique voting process, every eligible submitted photograph was given a chance to win, not just a select few picked out by judges, giving the community complete power over which photographs were awarded Best Photograph of 2010.
In an interview about the Photograph of the Year contest, the owner and founder of PhotographyCorner.com, Tim L. Walker, expressed that "the excitement and unique features of this contest display exactly why PhotographyCorner is such a popular and unique home for photographers on the web. Anyone can enter the contest, and anyone can win. I dont decide. A bunch of 'professional' judges dont decide. The community decides. Theyre the photographers they should pick the winners." He continued by adding that its encouraging to see such an amazing and diverse group of sponsors step up to reward and encourage photographers from around the world. With over $6,500 in prizes, the winners have added thousands of dollars worth of equipment, software and services to their arsenal, allowing them to further improve their photography and thats what its really all about. Photography enriches all of our lives in one way or another, and contests like this serve to improve the photography we see all around us every day.
The 5 contest sponsors, including lead sponsor PrintedArt.com, have offered up an amazing collection of cash and prizes ( http://bit.ly/2010potyprizes ) that includes software, equipment, gift certificates, camera bags and more.

Melbourne, Australia (PressExposure) March 25, 2013 -- Aussie music legends to compose sci-fi soundtrack...
Legendary musicians Steve Kilbey, Martin Kennedy and the Martin Kennedy fronted All India Radio will lend their distinctive sounds to The Rare Earth feature film. Along with new original compositions this will include reinterpretations of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
Shot independently in around Australia, the sonic creations created by the long time collaborators are a natural match for the stark landscapes showcased in the film.
No strangers to the silver screen, most famously with Under the Milky Way in cult classic Donny Darko, it's an exciting collaboration for filmmaker Aaron Stevenson, a long time fan.
"For an independent filmmaker, it's a dream come true to have Steve and Martin come on board," says the director.
"Apart from the fact I've been a huge fan for years, their music was a huge inspiration to the story and to the vibe of the film. I'm really excited they've come on board."
The film will also be the debut feature for New York Tropfest Best Actress winner Eliza D'Souza. The film also stars Prosper Taruvinga and 7 years old Bondi Stevenson.
In 1969 Mungo Lady was found.
In 1974 Mungo Man was found.
Both skeletons were discovered at Lake Mungo in Australia. They are the worlds oldest cremations and are around 50 000 years old. Their mitochondrial DNA is unique and not shared by today's population. Their existence brings into question the generally upheld 'Out of Africa' theory of evolution.
In 2036 a New Skeleton is found and is also more than 50 000 years old, this one however has a small metallic hinge in its knee...

Hands are the most neglected parts of the body when it comes to their pampering. Since we do all of our work with our hands, such as washing, cleaning, cooking, etc, our hands get exposed to various chemicals present in detergents and soaps.
This makes the skin of the hands dry and causes wrinkles to appear on the skin as well. Skin on the hands is not as soft as the skin on our face.
And the skin on our hands needs a deep moisturisation and nourishment, which it doesn't get normally, as we tend to use many chemical lotions at the end of the day.
Homemade hand creams can nourish and soften your hands, as these creams get absorbed beneath the skin of the hands. They are very easy to make at home and require simple ingredients.
Now, you can make your own handcream with the use of simple ingredients to make your hands appear younger and soft. Here are 2 recipes for homemade hand creams. Do try them out!
Ingredients For Moisturising Hand Cream:
- 1/2 cup shea butter
- 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil or almond oil
- 10 drops of rosemary oil
- 20 drops of lavender oil
- 7 drops of carrot seed oil
- 5 drops of tea tree oil
Method Of Preparation:
Melt the shea butter on a low heat. After melting, add jojoba oil and put it in the freezer to form a solid cream for just 15 minutes but don't over-freeze it. It should achieve a consistency of a cream. Take out the cream and add to it all the essential oils. Whip the mixture until it's soft and looks like a thick whipped cream. Transfer the cream into a jar and use it to get softer and beautiful hands with regular use.
Ingredients For Homemade Hand Lotion:
- 1/2 cup of olive oil or almond oil
- 1/4th cup of beeswax
- 1/4th cup of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil
- 1 teaspoon of lavender oil
Method Of Preparation:
Heat on a slow flame to melt coconut oil and beeswax in a bowl. After it gets melted, switch off the flame and mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Store it in a jar and use it as required for effective results.

I wonder when Lele's separation anxiety will fade (is it even that?)...
At home he mostly wants me even though his yeye, nainai and shushu (uncle) are always there. It's sweet to be wanted by my dearest babe, but can be a tad irritating esp when I wanted to get some chores done. I hate to do chores at night esp my most hated (hand)washing n ironing. Thankfully, these 2 aren't daily chores! Whenever there is some (hand)washing or ironing that simply needs to be done, I always try to squeeze in some daytime to finish them. Now with such a stickychewychocolele who will fuss even if I'm out of sight for a while, it is so difficult to accomplish even abit of chores time. Even me-time seems out of the question...
But when we are at other places, he seemed perfectly fine. He'll gladly interact with gorgor or jiejie and other people. I know part of the reason could be because he knew I was nearby hence felt safe to socialise.
BUT shouldn't he feel even SAFER at home? Since I am in the house and he knows it. Surely the company of yeye, nainai and shushu beats that of total strangers... right?

Hmm...I'm not only his playmate I think! But nowadays the situation at home seemed improved. He will allow me space to do chores and play with his uncle without crying for me. Dunno whether it was because I explained to him what I would be doing or because he is growing out of the SA...

"We were studying agostic bonds ... " said the chemist. ... While chemists have studied these bonds in chemicals in liquid form, no one had crystallized one chemical with multiple forms of its agostic bonds. And no one expected different forms to give rise to different colors.
Bonds come in many varieties in molecules. They string atoms together, sometimes forming a trunk and branches of atoms like a tree. But the trunk and branches of chemicals often fold up into a more compact shape, requiring additional weaker bonds to hold the shape in place. An agostic bond is one of these additional bonds, a shape-holder. They occur between a metal and a distant carbon-hydrogen bond along some chain, folding the chain back to the metal and pinning it there.
In the lab, the researcher's flask of chemicals held a molybdenum-containing molecule that turned the solution violet. The researcher added another liquid to coax the molybdenum complex to crystallize, just as salt crystallizes from seawater to form flakes at the seashore. Some crystals formed at the bottom of the flask and others formed near the top of the violet solution.
Oddly, the crystals were two different colors.
Orange crystals formed at the bottom of the flask and blue above. If the reseasrcher dissolved either the orange or blue crystals in a fresh flask of the original solvent, the violet color returned, with the same properties as the original violet solution.

Yes, as long as (a) you liked each other as people, independent of loving each other as romantic partners, and (b) neither of you actually wronged the other.
The longer version
It's possible. I've done it several times–including with an ex-husband, who continues to be one of my best friends and whom I adore. The general case It's unusual, I know, but I strongly suspect that it's unusual because there's a sort of societal acceptance to distance ourselves from someone who hurts us; it's normal and widespread to hear people say that their ex was a horrible person. So when someone breaks up with us, we fall into that comfortable, easy pattern. But when someone says that all or most of his/her exes are bad, or crazy, or similar, I wonder to myself, "What does it say about you and your judgment that you picked this person as your partner? And what does it say about you that you are not taking responsibility for your part in the deterioration of the relationship?" Let's be clear: if someone lied to you, cheated on you, stole from you, manipulated you or in some similar, defensible way betrayed your trust, then I don't think you can be friends–why would you want to be friends with someone like that? But sometimes relationships change because people change and/or circumstances change, or because we, being young, or naive, or inexperienced, make mistakes. Sometimes love dies. It happens, and it doesn't have to be someone's "fault." A specific case: me In all my relationships, romantic or otherwise, I look for people who are principled, kind, honest and thoughtful. These are people who aren't going to lie, or cheat, or do things that are stupid or malicious. So if the relationship comes to an end, it's for normal reasons–even if it hurts, it's not a "bad" thing. Because I select partners who are good people, we are able to weather out the difficult aftermath of the end of the relationship, and resume our friendship. We can do this because we have a history of trusting each other; we know we wouldn't knowingly or deliberately hurt each other. My divorce was painful in ways that I still can't fully articulate, and it was painful for me, for my ex-husband, and for our families. But through everything, my ex and I kept the channels of communication open and we continued to affirm our fundamental affection and respect for each other. It's hard work. But he's worth it to me, and I'm worth it to him. My ex-husband was my friend before he became my boyfriend, and after the divorce, he continues to be one of my closest, dearest friends.

Screw caps gaining acceptance
The Portland Business Journal conducted a business pulse survey trying to determine if screw caps are gaining acceptance. Specifically they asked if a cork an essential part of the fine wine experience. Here are the available answers with the percentage of respondents:
50% - Who cares how the bottle's closed as long as the wine is good
26% - Without a cork it's just not the same
12% - I've got better things to worry about
10% - Screw caps are OK for cheap stuff, but I want a cork with the good stuff
[Apparently 2% choose not to answer]
If you separate the results into two groups you would see that only 26% have a really strong distaste for screw caps while the remaining 74% accept them or are mostly indifferent on the subject. Someday maybe we'll be asking if we should bring back the cork for nostalgic reasons.

Beijing (XNA) Jan 24, 2017
China plans to launch the Chang'e-5 lunar probe at the end of November this year, from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China's Hainan Province, aboard the heavy-lift carrier rocket Long March-5.
The mission will be China's first automated moon surface sampling, first moon take-off, first unmanned docking in a lunar orbit about 380,000 km from earth, and first return flight in a speed close to second cosmic velocity, according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC).
"With a weight of 8.2 tonnes, the lunar probe is comprised of four parts: an orbiter, a returner, an ascender and a lander," said Ye Peijian, one of China's leading aerospace experts and a consultant to the program.
The lander will put moon samples in a vessel in the ascender after the moon landing. Then the ascender will take off from the moon to dock with the orbiter and the returner orbiting the moon, and transfer the samples to the returner.
The orbiter and returner then head back to the earth, separating from each other when they are several thousands kilometers from earth. Finally, the returner will reenter the earth.
The development of Chang'e-5 has entered the end of its flight model phase, and relevant work is proceeding smoothly, according to CASC.
China plans to fulfill three strategic steps with the launch of Chang'e-5, "orbiting, landing and returning."
The country also plans to launch the Chang'e-4 lunar probe around 2018 to achieve mankind's first soft landing on the far side of the moon, and to conduct an in situ and roving detection and relay communications at earth-moon L2 point, according to the China National Space Administration.
"The country plans to send robots to explore both lunar poles," said the administration's vice director Wu Yanhua late last year, adding that plans to send astronauts to the moon were also being discussed.

Expectation Damages, Divisible Contracts, and Bilateral Investment
This paper examines the efficiency of expectation damages as a breach remedy in a bilateral trade setting with renegotiation and relationship-specific investment by the buyer and the seller. As demonstrated by Edlin and Reichelstein (1996), no contract that specifies only a fixed quantity and a fixed per-unit price can induce efficient investment if marginal cost is constant and deterministic. We show that this result does not extend to more general payoff functions. If both parties face the risk of breaching, the first best becomes attainable with a simple price-quantity contract.

POLOKWANE – One is most likely to experience mild, sunny days during winter in Limpopo. This means spending time outdoors with your loved ones.
With the holiday reaching the half way mark, most children are bored already.
Review has identified a few places, not far from Polokwane, where the family can go and spend the day together.
In Polokwane children can go to Plaaswerf, a holiday school where children experience farm life, feeding animals, playing outside and enjoying time with new friends.
Alternatively, you can take them to WildThingz at Sun Meropa to see the different birds and learn more about them.
A nice place to visit, which are indoors, are the Polokwane Museum or the Tzaneen Museum.
There are a number of hiking trails to visit.
These are just a few:
- Thabaphaswa Hiking Trail – Mokopane
- Lesodi Trail – Tzaneen
- Louis Changuion Trail – Haenertsburg
Other ideas are to:
- Visit Soutpansberg Forrest Moutain Bike Trail in Louis Trichardt
- Agatha Crocodile Ranch in Tzaneen
- Ranch Resort in Polokwane
- Visit the Mokopane Biodiversity Centre in Mokopane
- Take a drive through Magoebaskloof
- Eat out at different places.
Having fun doesn't always mean going out and spending time outdoors, you could have fun in the comfort of your own home.
Here are some fun ways to spend time with the family at home:
- Have a film-day, spending all day in your pyjamas and watching movies
- Build puzzles
- Be creative and conduct different art projects like mosaic, collage)
- Be creative with clay
- Bake cakes

love it looking forward to more
| Abigael Ryan chapter 5 . 9/5/2012
Love this story, love Bo and Dyson , Pleeassee write more I'm addicted!
| Tashia chapter 2 . 2/6/2012
This, well honestly you could have done better. There is little to no detail. Dyson wouldn't accept the "any term condition". Also he and Trick seem to have been born within a few centuries of each other, if the "Dark Witch" was as bad as you claim they would defiantly both be aware of her. Some detail on how she killed the Norn would be helpful. Having her just drop dead, while convenient, is painfully boring. Only trying to be helpful love.

Increase your vocabulary by learning some Latin and Greek words and phrases that may prove worth knowing.
Here's an idea possibly worth reviving in modern times. In ancient Rome, an archimime was an actor, sometimes a court jester, invited to attend funerals of wealthy persons specifically to perform impressions and impersonations of the deceased notable, not usually satiric but in praise of the dead person's character. This rare Latin word is mentioned in Suetonius' life of the emperor Vespasian. The Latin term archimimus is a direct borrowing from a classical Greek agent noun ἀρχίμιμος archimimos 'chief actor, leading pantomime artist.'
I see "archimimicry" as an excellent addition to those funerals which contain obituary lines like "Mr. Stenson's demise was a great loss to the hardware industry." To which burbles of bloated praise, I always want to add, "Before or after he stopped selling his daughters into white slavery." My point and firm belief is that 95% of obituary tributes and fulsome approbations are lies, plain and simple. In the same way that most of grief is self-pity, so obituaries do not laud the dead; they praise us, the survivors, who had the good taste and good fortune to have known the deceased. In no way is such mere acquaintance praiseworthy.
I deem it would be immense fun at, say, Donald Trump's funeral, to have an archimimus dip into the audience of mourners, single out beautiful women and have the archimimus plunge his hands up their skirts and dresses and grab their privates in a manner similar to simian Trump antics.
Album Græcum
This Late Latin phrase, literally 'Greek white' denoted any distasteful medication, but it referred specifically to dried dog shit, once used to soothe inflammation of the throat.
Ridentem dicere verum
One famous characterization of the Roman poet Horace comes from his first Satire. The first typifies his facetious manner: "ridentem dicere verum / quid vetat" 'What's wrong with someone laughing as they tell the truth?' (Sat. 1.1.24-25)
The know-nothing dropouts who support Donald Trump might pay heed to this little adage by the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras: Απαιδευσία πάντων τῶν παθῶν μήτηρ apaideusia ton pathon meter 'A lack of education is the mother of all suffering.'
Astra castra, numen lumen
This Christian praise of self-denial means "the stars are my camp and God is my lamp." It means that true faith does not require even a roof over one's head "for the Lord will provide all you need." A proposition dubious even to some true believers.
Pindar calling!
Many consider doubt about who and what we humans are to be strictly a modern malaise. But check out an ancient Greek poet's existential fretfulness: τί δέ τις; τί δ' οὔ τις; σκιᾶς ὄναρ / ἄνθρωπος. 'What is a person? What is not a person? Man is but a dream of a shadow,' wrote Pindar somewhere around 500 BCE.
In his Pythian Victory Ode # 8, Pindar nevertheless held out hope for a moment's glory to athletic achievers and other rare lucky winners of fate's dice toss:
"Creatures for a day! What is a man?
What is he not? A dream of a shadow
Is our mortal being. But when there comes to men
A gleam of splendour given of heaven,
Then rests on them a light of glory
And blessed are their days."
On guard!
Qui omnes insidias timet in nullas incidit.
'He who fears every ambush falls into none.'
In other words, in the long run of reasonable security surveillance, keeping one's guard up is always worth it.
There is a middle course? News to me!
Difficile est modum tenēre in omnibus.
'It is difficult to be moderate in all actions of life.'
So said St. Jerome who translated the Bible into Latin. His version is called The Vulgate.
Roman Reading is Good for You
Ubi vivit latinitas, ibi viget humanitas
My translation: Where the study of Latin lives, there too thrives civilized learning."
The above is the motto of a Twitter hashtag called #robertus.

Latin & Greek Words & Phrases Worth Knowing
At the Wording Desk
Bill Casselman
The Greek in this mosaic flooring reads gnothi sauton "know thyself." This was one of the mottoes in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo near the entranceway to the Oracle of Delphi. The skeleton is a "momento mori," a visual reminder that we all die and that it might be pleasant to expire with at least a modicum of self-knowledge.

Burnout Legends
September 13, 2005 - Though Criterion and EA are launching the newest console version of the Burnout franchise this week as well in Burnout Revenge, the first PSP outing of the series isn't a port of Revenge but rather a "best of" of the series' past. Taking most of its gameplay elements from the excellent Burnout 3: Takedown and mixing in elements of the original Burnout and its sequel, Burnout 2: Point of Impact, Burnout Legends looks to offer a fresh experience for those who haven't played the series' previous titles while giving gamers a reason to pick up both Burnout Legends and Revenge.
Burnout Legends Speeds to Stores
September 13, 2005 - Electronic Arts announced today that Burnout Legends, a portable version of Criterion's collision-happy arcade racing series, is now shipping for the PSP.
What's Left for 2005?
September 12, 2005 - The summer has come and gone. Well, it's almost gone anyway. And now it's time to evaluate what hot games will help us get through the remaining months of 2005. And it's right after summer when gamers are notoriously looking for new games to play. After all, it's a given in the games industry that summertime represents a drought for gamers. Very few games ever make it out during the months of August, July and September, forcing gamers to commit unpardonable sins such as play sports and get tans. Some gamers even sweat during these activities, which only heightens the level of pain associated with summer game withdrawal.

Burnout Legends Diaries
September 2, 2005 - All the core gameplay ideas behind Burnout fit multiplayer perfectly. Takedowns, crash junctions and fast paced action driving are concepts that integrate really well with multiplayer, and get a whole new dimension when shared with your friends. Add to this the fact that your friends are there with you, wirelessly connected to your PSP; this time you can hear their disappointment after you got them with a takedown, and you can look at their faces after you just ruined their best lap. We really believe that wireless multiplayer on PSP adds a whole new level of fun to the game.
Burnout Legends: Developer Diary 2
August 25, 2005 - How does one direct art in a chaotic game like Burnout? Find out in our next diary entry, fresh from EA.
Burnout Legends Hands-On
August 23, 2005 - If you've missed out on playing Burnout 3: Takedown, then you've got some serious catching up to do. After two previous efforts that had some solid crash modes and some good racing, all of the elements came together last fall to create a game that was near impossible to put down. But if you don't want to dig through the crates to find the old classics or even bother with a console machine at all (hey, it's your choice), then Burnout: Legends will be a perfectly fine place to begin with the series since it collects the best aspects of the first three and puts them square in one single place.

E3 2005: Our Most Anticipated PSP Games
May 9, 2005 - The momentum behind the PlayStation Portable is ramping up, and E3 2005 is where it will hit top speed. There's a lot of power packed into the sleek little number and developers look like they're ready to take advantage of it. And the advent Wi-Fi and other amazing features in this handheld, our hopes for it are even higher than last year's debut event. Oh yes, the handheld market is ready to take a giant step forward, and this year's games are set to make that happen. These games look slick and clever, and we're itchin' to get ahold of them. In the mean time we'll quell the craving with these tasty morsels of information.

The Big E3 List: 2005 Edition
April 11, 2005 - In preparation for the show and to let you know that we care (and we really do... the flowers are on the way, we promise), we've put together a fat list of all the "official" titles being shown at E3 in Los Angeles from May 12-14. BUT WAIT! Before you write in with such enlightening observations as "u f3rg0t triPl3 so=0p3r sup3r bLu3 p0k3m0N!11!!!!1!!1!," you should realize that this list doesn't necessarily represent everything that a particular company will be showing at E3, just what they've confirmed that they'll be showing so far. There are sure to be plenty of surprise titles on the floor that publishers aren't ready to make public until closer to the opening of the show. Luckily we'll be updating this list every single day with any new confirmed titles that we learn of, so all you'll have to do is check back here for the most up-to-date list of E3 titles. Those of you who are camping out by your computers can print out this list and highlight the games you're excited about and wait until May to read the latest as we poke, prod, and gussie-up to every damn game we can get our hands on at the show. Or just order a few dozen pizzas and read everything we post at E3. Lord knows we won't have time to! Remember that this is just a small sample of the games that will be at the show. Make sure to check this page regularly, because we'll be updating the list as we get more confirmations of titles that we'll be seeing at E3.
The Fastest Games of All Time
August 5, 2004 - Some of the IGN staff had the opportunity to get some time behind the wheel of, yes, GT4, but also EA/Criterion's Burnout3--quite possibly one of the fastest racing games of all time. GT4 is much faster than its predecessors, but, damn, it feels like molasses after a few minutes with Burnout 3. The third racer from Criterion might not classify as the fastest game of all time, but it's most definitely up there and could probably keep up with one OJ-driven white Bronco.
Portable Burnout?
March 2, 2004 - In a recent interview by respected European gaming site Computer and Video Games, Criterion Design Director Alex Ward had some interesting things to say regarding the future of the team and its flagship series. When asked if it's possible if we could see a Burnout rendition for the PlayStation Portable, Ward responded " I'd like to think that there's a great chance that you'll see Burnout on PSP." Later on in the interview Ward was then asked if he felt a PSP version of the game would do well, to which he responded: "Yeah, I think so but until we see the finished machine... I think PSP is really, really exciting - it's a very powerful machine. I mean, a PS2 handheld, why wouldn't you want one of them?"

FILE_SKIP_COMPLETION_PORT_ON_SUCCESS on a handle associated with an I/O completion port can improve performance and reduce context switching by allowing the thread that calls the API that can complete asynchronously to handle the completion "inline" if the call can complete synchronously. This is especially useful for TCP reads when there's already data in the network stack's buffers, or writes when there is space in the buffers. Whilst there are design issues that must be taken into consideration before simply enabling this flag (beware recursion!) there's a little known issue where code outside of your control can prevent the IOCP from operating correctly when this flag is enabled.
If non-IFS Winsock Base Service Providers (BSPs) or Layered Service Providers (LSPs) are installed then you may not receive completions at all for handles with the flag set.
This Microsoft Knowledge Base article has been around for quite a few years and it's important and possibly becoming more so as more and more poorly written LSPs get installed by adware and other rubbish.
It's all very well knowing that you can't use
FILE_SKIP_COMPLETION_PORT_ON_SUCCESS when you have a non-IFS LSP installed but how can you tell at runtime that this is the case?
We've had this code in The Server Framework since 2011 or so: it iterates the Winsock catalog and lets you know if any non-IFS LSPs are installed. You can then use the results of this to determine if it's safe to enable
FILE_SKIP_COMPLETION_PORT_ON_SUCCESS or not.
static const int s_protocols[] = { IPPROTO_TCP, IPPROTO_UDP, 0 }; bool CanEnableSkipCompletionPortOnSuccess() { // At some point we MAY want to check for UDP and TCP transports separately, // if we do that then we need to change this. TExpandableBuffer<BYTE> buffer; LPWSAPROTOCOL_INFOW pProtocolInfo = nullptr; DWORD bufferLength = 0; int error = 0; int numEntries = ::WSCEnumProtocols( const_cast<int *>(&s_protocols[0]), pProtocolInfo, &bufferLength, &error); if (SOCKET_ERROR != numEntries) { throw CException( _T("CanEnableSkipCompletionPortOnSuccess()"), _T("Expected first call to fail and return buffer size!")); } int attempts = 0; bool done = false; while (!done) { if (error != WSAENOBUFS) { throw CWin32Exception( _T("CanEnableSkipCompletionPortOnSuccess()"), error); } if (attempts++ > 3) { // so the amount of memory required is always changing?? throw CException( _T("CanEnableSkipCompletionPortOnSuccess()"), _T("Cannot allocate appropriate buffer: ") + ToString(bufferLength)); } buffer.Resize(bufferLength); pProtocolInfo = reinterpret_cast<LPWSAPROTOCOL_INFOW>(buffer.GetBuffer()); numEntries = ::WSCEnumProtocols( const_cast<int *>(&s_protocols[0]), pProtocolInfo, &bufferLength, &error); done = (SOCKET_ERROR != numEntries); } bool ok = true; for (int i = 0; ok && i < numEntries; ++i) { ok = ((pProtocolInfo[i].dwServiceFlags1 & XP1_IFS_HANDLES) == XP1_IFS_HANDLES); } return ok; }
A bug has been discovered in Release 6.7 in the code that deals with TCP socket writes that involve more than a single buffer. These 'multi-buffer writes' are writes that involves either a buffer chain or a block of data passed as a pointer and a length where the length exceeds the size of the buffer allocator that the connection is using.
The bug prevents the 'multi-buffer write' from being executed as a single atomic write at the network layer and so can cause corruption of a TCP data stream if multiple sockets are writing to the same connection concurrently.
The bug is due to the removal in 6.7 of the code required to support Windows XP. In Windows XP we needed to include sequence numbers in write operations to allow for the way we always marshalled all I/O operations from the calling thread to an I/O thread to prevent I/O cancellation due to thread termination. This write sequencing code had the side effect of also protecting 'multi-buffer writes' from being interrupted by other writes.
The fix does not require the reintroduction of write sequencing but, instead, issues a single scatter/gather style write for the entire buffer chain. This is both efficient and correct.
A related bug also affects atomicity of 'multi-buffer writes' into filter layers, such as the SSL code. Similar fixes have been applied here.
The bug is fixed in Release 6.8 which will be released later today.
I've been looking at Resharper C++ by JetBrains for a while now and the trial period has finally run out. I immediately bought a license which shows how my feelings have changed about the product during the trial.
I've been trying various static analysis tools on the C++ code of The Server Framework. So far I'm using Resharper C++ and the Gimpel PC-Lint Plus Beta on a regular basis and I've now added CppDepend into the loop.
Full disclosure. I have been given a CppDepend license.
As I've said before, whilst CppDepend is easy to get hold of, easy to install and "just works" I don't find it that useful. I can certainly remember large enterprise clients where this kind of tool would be invaluable for management level analysis of large codebases but for a small development team of competent people it's less immediately useful. That said, I've found several warnings that it produces to be helpful and so I've been running it alongside the other tools as it fills some gaps.
Since I'm in the process of dropping support for several old compilers I can finally begin to move the codebase forward to slightly more modern C++. All of the tools help with this and CppDepend has some 'modernise C++' checks that I'm finding useful.
I like the fact that I can run CppDepend as a stand alone GUI. I prefer this method to using fully integrated Visual Studio extensions.
I like the idea of the regression reports but haven't actually set up a baseline report and run them...
I'm not sure that I would purchase a license for this tool but I know clients that could benefit from using it.
Previously on "Practical Testing"... Having just resurrected this series of blog posts about testing a non-trivial piece of real-world C++ code I've fixed a few bugs and done a bit of refactoring. There's one more step required to bring the code in this article right up to date.
The timer queue that is the focus of these blog posts is part of The Server Framework. This body of code has been around since 2001 and has evolved to support new platforms and compilers. One of the things that I do from time to time is remove support for old platforms and compilers. This allows me to start using exciting new C++ features (around 10 years after they were first 'new') and it means that code that is present just to work around issues in old platforms can be removed. The timer queue has quite a bit of code that needn't be there now that Windows XP has passed away.
In 2008, in episode 17, I added support for
GetTickCount64() which removed some of the complexity from timer management. We kept the old version around as you needed to have Windows Vista or later to use that API call. Now that I no longer support Windows XP every supported platform has
GetTickCount64() and there's no reason to support the XP version. Removing that removes quite a bit of complexity from both the internals and the public API; you no longer have to decide which version to use as there is only one!
As the recent bug fixes have shown, there are also two versions of timer dispatch. The original version which holds a lock whilst calling into user code during timer dispatch and the improved version that doesn't. Holding locks whilst calling back into user code via callback interfaces is a surefire way to create lock inversions and deadlock. The old dispatch method was originally kept because I was unsure of the performance characteristics of the new way. The improved version was added in 2008 in episode 18 and every piece of development that I've done since has used the new dispatch method. The performance difference, if present, is not relevant and the removal of the ability for code to take part in lock inversions is important for library code. So the original method of dispatch should be removed.
The removal of this functionality massively simplifies the code and the tests. 60 tests can be removed which is almost a third. Most of the code that was moved into the common base class for the two versions of the queues can be moved into the 'Ex' version with
GetTickCount64() support. I expect that I should, eventually, rename the
CCallbackTimerQueueEx class to
CallbackTimerQueue, but not yet. There are some systems that use this class explicitly rather than via
CThreadedCallbackTimerQueue and the enum that we're removing in this release. It will be easier to introduce another breaking change in a future release as it means that fixing the breaking changes due to this release is slightly easier and more obvious and the fix when I do change the name will be a simple rename in the code that uses the old class...
The code is here on GitHub and new rules apply.
I've been looking at Resharper C++ by JetBrains for a while now and I expect I'm nearing the end of the trial period. Initially I found it got in my way but slowly I think it's training me to ignore the niggles and I'm finding the functionality quite compelling.
Previously on "Practical Testing"... I've just fixed a new bug in the timer queue and in doing so I updated the code used in the blog posts to the latest version that ships with The Server Framework. This code included two fixes that had been fixed some time ago and which I hadn't documented here. They also lacked unit tests... Last time, I wrote tests for, and fixed, the first bug. This time I fix the final bug.
This bug is in the "lock-free" timeout handling code and it would cause the threaded version of the timer queue to do a small amount of unnecessary work but otherwise work correctly. The problem is that we use a
ULONG_PTR value as an opaque handle when processing timeouts using the "lock-free"
EndTimeoutHandling() sequence and this opaque handle has a sentinel value of
0 that is used to indicate that there are no timeouts to handle. The code that we use to generate the timeout handle in
BeginTimeoutHandling() is a simple
::InterlockedIncrement() and, if enough timeout handles are generated, this will wrap to
0 and return the sentinel value when it should be returning a non-sentinel value.
