Dear First Baptist Church Family:

Dear Church Family:
The Outreach Committee wishes to thank all those who helped with the Car Show Cruise. Approximately 400 sticks of cotton candy and 300 bags of popcorn were passed out—WOW, what a way to connect with friends and strangers! It was a fun evening and without those who set-up, spun or popped, distributed and cleaned-up, it wouldn't have been possible. We appreciate you all. Outreach Committee
The Youth of First Baptist have returned home safely from the New Orleans Mission Trip. Thank you, everyone, who faithfully supported this mission the last two years! Your prayers and financial contributions are a blessing. The youth will be sharing their experiences Sunday during the worship service September 7th.
Sincerely…FBC Mission Trip Group

Dorothy Fitzgerald and her daughter, Carolee Cargile and Raylene Quaney, would like to thank you for honoring her during the 150th Anniversary celebration of First Baptist Church. She told us she felt like a celebrity and was thrilled to have so many old friends come up to say hello and share their memories with her. Since then her health has quickly failed and she has had to go to the Christian Care Cottage in Ottawa and will not be able to return to "her little apartment that she loved". We ask you please keep her in your prayers. Again, thank you for your years of friendship and kindness….Dorothy, Carolee and Raylene

We had approximately 150 children each day learning how to stand strong in God's power with help from God's love, family and friends, prayer, trusting God and the Bible. Thanks to Dawn Cubbison and Melissa Ashwill for being on the organization-side of the VBS Coop. The kids had a great time and you all made that possible!

Thank you FBC for your support of AB Girls. We had eleven girls and two sponsors, Jenna Johnson and Jane Smith, attend the Praise Weekend at Crosswind. Many of you contributed toward this effort. The girls participated in a mission project, rolled bandages for a hospital in Congo, watched movie clips with discussion and enjoyed the pool and games. The 'Red Carpet' event was the highlight Saturday night; the young ladies looked fabulous in their formal dresses. Pictures can be seen on the website listed below. Watch for more information about a specialBack-To-School event in early August! Click on link ABGirls
We would like to thank everyone for their hard work and donations that helped make this years' VBS a huge success! We had 140 children in attendance and over 40 helpers each day. We learned that no matter what happens or what other people do, we can always TRUST GOD! Our Mission project this year was to raise money for World Vision's Clean Water Project. Roughly 1/6th of our world's population does not have access to clean drinking water...during VBS our children brought in $750.00 in offerings for this water project which will affect over 2,000 people!
Some statements from our attendees and helpers:
*VBS to me is a place everyone is there to do the same thing—Learn about God!
*I liked VBS. I like the music, art and story time. I also am thankful for the helplers
*I learned to always trust God!
*VBS makes kids smile!
*VBS reaches out to the community.
*VBS is a great experience and give me the opportunity to interact with children. I am blessed to be able to participate!
*This gave me a week to look at God's word through the eyes of the kids—you learn more than you expect and look at things in a new way!

Dear friends & members of First Baptist Church,
I'm so grateful for all the notes of encouragement during my weeks and months of confinement. I don't think I would have made it through otherwise. I'm not used to being confined like that. The visits and prayers of Rev. Joel were also most inspiring. I must also say the help of my children and good wife were lifesaving. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel so I may survive to be able to see you again.
May God bless you all and love to all, Ray Schmidt

Thanks: Hi there! I live at Lewis & Clark Village, MO and our community was impacted by the flooding of the Missouri river this summer. What a blessing it was to see the clean up buckets that were donated by the members of your congregation! I'm seriously tearing up as I type this (which is not like me) at the generosity shown to us by strangers! I'm a little off path in my spiritual walk right now (our minister left 2 years ago and things just haven't been the same at my home church), but it's reassuring to know that God's love prevails during this tough time. Thank you again from our whole neighborhood! You can't imagine what a big help the cleaning supplies have been. Thanks Again! Tammy

Bosten and I worked on a project together last week.
I needed to get this quilt hung on the wall.
Bosten took a couple of pictures of me holding it up so that I could see a couple of different heights. They were blurry, but I wish I wouldn't have deleted them. They actually were pretty helpful, blurry and all.
Here it is:
Pretty good work.
Bosten was really sick for about a week. They thought it might be pneumonia, but thankfully it wasn't.

Ian Thorpe is Australia's most decorated Olympian, one of Australia's favourite sons and a sporting legend around the world.
In a world exclusive, TEN will broadcast Ian Thorpe: The Parkinson Interview on Sunday, July 13, at 6.00pm.
Sir Michael Parkinson CBE will explore the private and sometimes troubled world of Ian Thorpe OAM.
Ian has made the brave decision to be himself. With no question off limits, the master interviewer will examine the good times and the bad, the triumphs and the trauma that Ian has faced throughout his life.
Sir Michael said: "Ian Thorpe has always been near the top of my list to interview. The reasons are obvious. Not many athletes can claim to be the best of all time. Ian can.
"The story of a boy who was a teenage World Champion, conquered the world and then seemed to give it all away is a fascinating and intriguing one.
"His fight against depression offers a unique insight into the darker side of celebrity and success. What fascinates me most about Ian is that apart from the very beginning of his career, he never seemed to enjoy and celebrate his success. It will be interesting to find out the reasons why," he said.
Network Ten Executive Director of News and Current Affairs, Peter Meakin, said: "This promises to be an absorbing encounter – a sporting hero with a fascinating story, paired with an interviewer whose reputation is deservedly legendary."
Affectionately known to many as Thorpedo, Ian broke 22 world records and won five gold, three silver and one bronze Olympic medals. He has also collected 11 World Championship titles, 10 Commonwealth Games gold medals and nine Pan Pacific titles.
Outside the pool, Ian has pursued a number of ventures showcasing his passion for charity work media, art, fashion, food and travel. Ian's recent projects include This Is Me, as well as a feature documentary entitled The Swimmer.
Louis Smith describes himself on his Twitter profile as a 'British bad ass gymnast'. That perfectly summarises the hyper-talented young man from Cambridgeshire, England. He is a larger-than-life athlete, perfectly suited to the world of social media and around-the-clock access.
Michelle Jenneke rose to fame in 2012 when a video of her sexy pre-race dance went viral on YouTube, amassing more than 25 million hits.
At just 23, Melissa Breen is already Australia's fastest ever woman.
A Braveheart on the blocks, Hannah Miley plans to win at home and bring the gold to the Games' hosts.
Discus thrower Dani Samuels is the youngest ever female to win a world championship event. Her unorthodox throwing technique makes her one to look out for.

We will be focusing on the year 2013; the newcomers, the most improved, the lifetime achievement awards...! So what I need you to do is to please comment down below if you are a colorist and have posted colored photos in 2013. Also if you know of some colorists that might not have seen this journal for whatever reason, shoot them a comment on their page and let them know. This is about including everyone, whether it be the veterans like myself and , , and and the newbies like , and
I would also like to stress that you do not have to color Romanovs or other royalty to participate. Cinema and such is welcome as well!

Gresh and Zolak continue to analyze the Patriots roster as the preseason wears on and we get closer to setting the 53-man roster for the opening game vs. Buffalo.
The guys looked back to some questions that they had before the preseason even started and whether those questions have been answered.
There was some concern about the tight end position and whether the Aaron Hernandez situation would have a lingering affect on and off the field. Have these questions been answered?
They also discussed the top ten position battles. Do these battles have a clear winner as the time to make cuts is upon us?

Apple Patent Could Allow iPhone Wireless Charging
New technology could power phones and accessories without the need for a physical connection
Apple has filed a new wireless charging patent outlining a method that could see future iPads, iPhones, keyboards and mice powered without the need for a physical connection.
In a document entitled "Wireless power utilisation in a local computing environment," submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office, Apple describes how the technology could use a near-field magnetic resonance (NFMR) power supply to charge nearby devices with have an NFMR resonator circuit.
This would create a "virtual charging area" which would power compatible devices located within around one metre of the power supply. It has been suggested that the supply could be hosted by a computer or a home cinema display.
iPhone wireless charging
Such a method would also strengthen Apple's green credentials. Not only would it remove the need for multiple chargers, but it could allow accessories such as keyboards and mice to operate without disposable batteries.
The iPhone 5, which was launched in September, uses a new eight-pin connection called 'Lightning' to charge the device. This replaced the old 30-pin connector which had been in use since the third generation iPod.
Interest in wireless charging has increased following the release of the Nokia Lumia 920, which includes the technology as one of its main selling points. There are currently a number of rival wireless standards trying to claim supremacy in the field, with the most established being the Qi-specification, which has been used by a number of smartphones.
The Wireless Power Consortium-backed Qi standard is being challenged by the Powermat Technologies-led Power Matters Alliance and the Alliance for Wireless Power, which is apparently based around Qualcomm technology.
How much do you know about the iPhone? Take our quiz!

My Palm Pixi which is 3 years old already has wireless charging how in hell can Apple get a patent for something that already exists.The patent system is broken and needs to be thrown out.

Shelling out in Ruby
Posted by Steven Proctor in Anti-Patterns, Ruby, Scripting on August 20, 2014
One of the things that is nice about Ruby is the ability to use it for scripting. Ruby makes it nice and easy to shell out to run standard *nix commands.
The problem is, the nice simple way that seems to be the most common, is also the least safe. I'm looking at you backticks.
#!/usr/env ruby result = `gerp -e 'some regex' foo` puts "<time to process result>" puts "All Good"
And when we run the above, we see that our script completed, even though we really bombed out trying to run
gerp instead of
sh: gerp: command not found <time to process result> All Good
Sure we get a warning
gerp: command not found, but the script still proceeds to plow ahead and do any other side effects that it is setup to do, although something went wrong earlier.
This has become one of the biggest thorns in my side at work.
Lucky the technical solution to this is straight forward, so I want to share it with readers of this blog so you can stop making the mistake of using backticks to shell out commands, and use a solution that does not cover up issues in production.
#!/usr/env ruby require 'open3' def execute_syscall(cmd) results, error, status = Open3.capture3(cmd) raise error unless status.success? results end result = execute_syscall "gerp -e 'some regex' foo" puts "<time to process result>" puts "All Good"
First we require
open3. Open3 allows us to be able to capture the results, the error stream, and the status. This way, we can check if the status of the command was anything other than success, and if not, we raise the error we get from STDERR.
Now when we run it, the script stops in its tracks. Not only that, but our script returns a failure error code as well.
> ruby script_demo.rb script_demo.rb:7:in `execute_syscall': sh: gerp: command not found (RuntimeError) from script_demo.rb:12:in `<main>' > echo $? 1
That way we can know that something went wrong in our program, especially when it is setup as a cron job or as some other unsupervised task.
Hope this can save you some headaches and frustration on your end as well.
Global Day of Coderetreat 2014 – Dallas/Fort Worth
Posted by Steven Proctor in Code Retreat, Deliberate Practice, Global Day of Coderetreat, Pair Programming, TDD on August 11, 2014
It is that time of year again. The time when the Global Day of Coderetreat date has been announced.
This year, the Global Day of Coderetreat is November 15th of 2014.
And with that, I am pleased to announce the Dallas/Fort Worth area's participation in Global Day of Coderetreat.
For those who are unfamiliar with Coderetreat, it is a day of practice where developers of all levels and languages get together to engage in deliberate practice. The day is spent in multiple 45 minute sessions, working on the problem of Conway's Game Of Life. During the sessions the goal is to pair program and use TDD to drive to a solution, while focusing on The Four Rules of Simple Design. At the end of each session, everybody deletes their work, and then has the opportunity to share an insight that they had during the previous session. As the day goes on, constraints get added to the sessions, with the goal to make you think about solving the problem in a different way.
I encourage anybody in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to sign up while space is available, and if you are located somewhere else, check the events listing on the Coderetreat site, and see if there is an event in your area. If not, I highly encourage you to get one setup for your area.
Currently Executing Queries in Vertica
Posted by Steven Proctor in Database, SQL, Vertica on August 4, 2014
As mentioned in my last post – Timestamps in Vertica – we had a query which caused our cluster of servers to run at over 90% CPU utilization, when the normally in 10-20 percent range. This query was slowing down all of the other queries that were running at the time, even to the point where the query
SELECT 1 FROM dual was taking 1200+ milliseconds.
In this case, the trick to finding the culprit was to find the queries that had been running for a long period of time.
SELECT *, (start_timestamp - statement_timestamp()) AS current_duration FROM query_requests WHERE is_executing = 't' ORDER BY start_timestamp;
We look at the
query_requests table, and find those queries that are still executing, and sort them by their start time. I also added in a column
current_duration so we could easily determine how long the queries have been running.
With that we found a query that was the culprit, killed that job, and the database cluster recovered quickly.
Hope this can help someone else when they have some runaway queries they need to find.
Timestamps in Vertica
Posted by Steven Proctor in Database, SQL, Vertica on July 28, 2014
I was recently trying to find long running queries in Vertica, as we had something that was killing our performance of our cluster, and I got bit by this little bit of behavior around getting the "current" time in Vertica.
For some context, I had an open tmux session on a development server with one of the windows setup to be an open connection to our Vertica database1.
The part about having that database session open in a tmux session is important, because the database session had been open for at least a week at the point in time I was trying to do some checks to find the queries that had been running the longest.
What bit me was that current_timestamp, and now() functions are tied 'to the start of the current transaction [...] to allow a single transaction to have a consistent notion of the "current" time [...]'.
The way this bit me, was I was seeing queries that were running for -7 days, because I was doing math on the timestamp against the current_timestamp.
someuser => select current_timestamp; ?column? ------------------------------- 2014-07-11 10:45:17.135025-05 (1 row) someuser=> select now(); now ------------------------------- 2014-07-11 10:45:17.135025-05 (1 row)
What I needed to be using was statement_timestamp(), which 'returns the start time of the current statement'
someuser=> select statement_timestamp(); now ------------------------------- 2014-07-18 14:23:36.492831-05 (1 row)
And that is how you get a more up to date timestamp in your Vertica queries if you are in a long running database session.
- Since I have to help fill the role of a database administrator as part of being on the data team at work, and want quick access to be able to run some queries when things like the above happen, instead of hoping I can establish a connection. ↩
Granting Users Select Permission in Vertica
Posted by Steven Proctor in Database, SQL, Vertica on July 24, 2014
At work we use Vertica for one of our databases. As part of the data team, it is our job to help monitor and maintain the data in the database, as well as the health of the database as well. One of the things I have been doing is to create database users for the different services that are using the database.
This helps us when we have long running queries, high load on the database, issues with the number of connections, and it would also allow us to add constraints around all of those in the future on a per service basis based off of the different user accounts, not to mention restrict the permissions to tables that are needed and allow some of the experimental tables to exist without causing confusion by having people see those tables before they have been stabilized.
First we create a user for each service with a username and a password; the quotes around the username signify to Vertica that the username is case sensitive.
CREATE USER "UserName" IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
We then grant
SELECT only permissions to the tables that are specific to that user. We do
SELECT only permissions as this is a data warehouse style database, and only a few select services have permissions to update the database, while everyone else should be free to read from the tables they need, or are stable.
grant select on <tablename> to "UserName";
We also have some helper functions that we give all of the users, and as I still usually can't remember the functions and their argument types, I have to do a lookup of the different functions each time, because when granting permissions on Vertica functions, you need to specify the function name along with the arguments.
This query finds me all of the user defined functions in the database.
select * from user_functions;
Once I have the functions and arguments, I can then grant
EXECUTE permissions on the functions, by providing the function name and the argument types.
grant execute on function <function name with argument types> to "UserName";
So to grant execute permissions to the function
foo that has a number of overloads, it might look like.
grant execute on function foo(Float, Float) to "UserName"; grant execute on function foo(Float, Integer) to "UserName"; grant execute on function foo(Float, Numeric) to "UserName"; grant execute on function foo(Integer, Integer) to "UserName"; grant execute on function foo(Integer, Numeric) to "UserName"; grant execute on function foo(Numeric, Integer) to "UserName"; grant execute on function foo(Numeric, Numeric) to "UserName";
I hope this helps someone the next time they find themselves having to help play db admin/owner on a Vertica database.
Stop Writing Code
Posted by Steven Proctor in Programming, Software Development, Writing on July 17, 2014
Code: n. A system of symbols, letters, or words given certain arbitrary meanings, used for transmitting messages requiring secrecy or brevity.
-American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language
This is not what we should be writing.
I started thinking that we as an industry need a new term. The reason I say this is related to the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, which says that the language we use influences the way we experience the world around us. If we keep referring to what we write as code, we are going to keep writing software that 'requires secrecy or brevity', instead of writing software intended for other people to read. Ableson and Sussman nailed it back in 1985, in the preface to the first edition of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and I am sure they weren't the first either.
First, we want to establish the idea that a computer language is not just a way of getting a computer to perform operations but rather that it is a novel formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology. Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
-Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Let's take a moment and take a look at another term we use commonly.
program: Late Latin programma, public notice, from Greek programma, programmat-, from prographein, to write publicly : pro-, forth; see PRO-2 + graphein, to write; see gerbh- in Indo-European roots.
-American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language
That is not bad, as it refers to writing publicly, so maybe, if we start thinking in that sense of the word, we would be okay; but odds are, it has deviated too far from that original meaning in common thought to try to rescue it and bring it back towards that original meaning. If we are going to come up with a better term, maybe we need to pick a term that expresses that we are telling the story of the system; XP talks about Metaphor of the system; and Eric Evans in Domain Driven Design talks about Ubiquitous Language; others talk about modeling the system; but the commonality is that we want what we write to expressive and suggestive. We have a word for the type of writing they describe.
poem: n. A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme.
[French poème, from Old French, from Latin poēma, from Greek poiēma, from poiein, to create; see kwei-2 in Indo-European roots.]
-American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language
I am not saying that we should all start writing software poetry, but as an example of a word in our lexicon that may have a better fit. I suggest we think about what words would better describe the kind of software we wish we were reading, and then, see how the words we choose change the way we write software. What if we tried writing software poetry, software novellas, or software as the literature of the system, and see how that affects the way we write our software. Do we gain expressivity? Do we encourage others to read what we have written and get editorial reviews? Do we make sure to go back and read aloud what has been written to see if we stumble upon awkward phrasing? Do we take time to go back and try to rewrite what we have just written to make sure it is written well?
I have recently started reading On Writing Well by William Zinsser, and while he is talking about the word processor, I think it relates to writing software as well, since all too often we just move on and submit our writing as soon as we think it is working.
On one level the new torrent is good news. Any invention that reduces the fear of writing is up there with air-conditioning and the lightbulb. But, as always, there's a catch. Nobody told all the new computer writers that the essence of writing is rewriting. Just because they're writing fluently doesn't mean they're writing well.
-On Writing Well
Duck Taping
Posted by Steven Proctor in Anti-Patterns, Humor on June 3, 2014
Duck Taping
- If it doesn't look like a duck, or doesn't quack like a duck, doing the equivalent of adding the necessary methods on the top-most Object class so everything will behave like a duck.
Migrating to a Git Deployment User
At work we have a couple of different user account that a number of older applications are deployed under. These different users each have full rights to the various repositories that run under that user account. For the sake of example, we will say the user's account is alice.
As anybody who is familiar with making changes in a work environment, you can't always just stop the world to make updates, but have to take baby steps, to get to your end goal. Ideally we would like the app to be deployed under dan, a deployment user with "read-only" permissions to the git repository. (I say read-only, even though there is no such thing in git, but the point is we don't want the dan user to be able to push back to the source-of-truth repository, and shouldn't really be making changes on the box to begin with.)
There are a couple of different git repositories that run under alice, but for this example we are going to be working to migrate the repository etudes_for_erlang [1] to be fetched as the deploy user dan.
I am assuming you have already done the work of setting up access control list policy, either through server-side hooks, or github permissions, and we will be focusing on changing the way we pull the repositories down under alice, to look like she is dan.
First step will be to create a new ssh key for "dan", and get the new public ssh key added as an authorized key for dan on the git server. We will refer to the public key as
As alice, edit her ssh config file found at
~alice/.ssh/config. We will be adding two new entries to that config. The first entry is to allow alice to connect to the remote server, in this case, github.com, as herself.
Host github.com HostName github.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
We use alice's normal ssh key,
id_rsa, and just connect to github.com as normal. We specify that when we refer to
github.com by itself, we are going to use alice's id_rsa key to connect to the actual host
github.com. This allows alice to fetch, push, and all the other good stuff for those repositories under her that we are not yet deciding to convert over to the deployment dan account.
We also add another Host entry for working as dan.
Host deploy.github.com HostName github.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/dan_rsa
In this case, we specify that the host is
deploy.github.com. What this does is that when we refer to that
deploy.github.com we want to connect to
github.com but use the ssh key for dan, by specifying the identity file as
At this point you should be able to ssh into both github.com and deploy.github.com successfully, and github should be identifying you as the correct user:
ssh -T firstname.lastname@example.com # Attempt to SSH in to github # Hi alice! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide # shell access. ssh -T firstname.lastname@example.com # Attempt to SSH in to github # Hi dan! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide # shell access.
We then go into the etudes_for_erlang repository and issue the following commands:
git remote set-url origin email@example.com:dfw-erlang/etudes_for_erlang.git git remote set-url --push origin "DO NOT PUSH!!!"
We set the origin url to connect to
deploy.github.com instead of
github.com, so that we will be connecting as dan.
The second
git remote set-url command is a trick to set the push url to something invalid, in this case the string
DO NOT PUSH!!!, so that when we try to push we get an error saying we could not connect to the remote repository "DO NOT PUSH!!!", and that helps to tell us that we should not be pushing back to the source repository.
There you have it, the first steps towards migrating git repositories to be accessed as a deployment user.
If you would like to find out more about the tricks used in the ssh config file, make sure to check out the man page for ssh_config.
Hope you find this useful,

Ten Episodes of Functional Geekery Live!
Posted by Steven Proctor in Clojure, Erlang, FunctionalGeekery, Podcast, Thank You on May 20, 2014
I just released the tenth episode of my podcast Functional Geekery.
I had been thinking about doing a podcast for a while, in return of all the information I get out of listening to other podcasts as part of my "Automobile University", but could never come up with the niche. It occurred to me about 3am in the morning when I was taking a shift to get our little one, Ada (yes, after that Ada) who was about 5 months old at the time, back to sleep; the best ideas to come when you are least prepared to think about them.
I told my wife about my "crazy idea", and explained to her what my goal was, and got her support for this experiment I was wanting to do, and told her I could do this in a very lean manner. I had a headset with microphone already, and told her it would just be a domain, hosting, and recording setup. My goal was to see if I couldn't start a podcast for only about $100 investment with all things totaled. I would shoot to see if I could get at least 10 episodes done, to amortize the cost to be about $10 an episode.
I figured if nobody listened, but I could have 10 interesting conversations, the learning and exposure to ideas from those conversations would easily outweigh that initial investment, and the podcast would give me a good way to reach out to people I would love to talk to but probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to anytime soon.
I want to give a sincere heartfelt Thank You to all my guests so far, and everybody else I have reached out to so far to get initial conversations going about being a guest. Everyone has been much more receptive and open than I could have ever imagined. Everybody has been kind, and the worst I have gotten was some deferrals due to busy schedules, which I can appreciate. This is been even more honoring, as most of the people I have reached out to had likely never heard of me when I sent my emails to them asking if they would do me the honor of being a guest on the podcast I was starting. Thank you all for your support, and kindness, and if you ever have more things you would like to talk about, all of you always have an open invitation back.
I also want to thank everybody who has listened, and shared the podcast with others. I have gotten much better reception and response that I realistically imagined. Thank you for your shares, (re)tweets, comments, and suggestions. If you have anything else you want to share I would love to hear from you. If you need to find the best way to contact me, just head over to Functional Geekery's About page.
Don't worry, I am not planning on going anywhere at this point. I have another recording "in the can", and am working to line up some more great guests. I also have a large list of people I would love to talk to at some point, and would hate to end before I got to use the podcast as a reason to be able to have a interesting conversation with them as well.
As always, a giant Thank You goes out to David Belcher for the logo, who took my rough idea of a logo, and transformed it into something brilliant.
And an even bigger THANK YOU goes out to my wife, who has let me pursue this "crazy idea".
Your host,
Creating a Ruby Rack Middleware for Application Version Id
Posted by Steven Proctor in Rack, Rack-Middleware, Ruby on May 19, 2014
If you are developing an application that uses the Ruby rack framework, and most Ruby application frameworks and servers do, it is pretty simple to create your own rack middleware.
In this post I outline how simple it is go create a new middleware for your rack application. In fact, I did something very similar in one of the web services I worked on so that we could get the exact version of the code that our app was running against for troubleshooting purposes. I suggested we add a version identifier to all responses so we could log the requests, the responses and their response codes, and have the version of the running code in every response as well. This would help us troubleshoot failures that are not failing anymore, or failed "intermittently" because they might be hitting one of two load balanced servers in case someone updated one server, but not the other, such as for A-B testing.
This was actually a very easy thing to do by taking advantage of rack's middleware capability. The code below was all that it took to create a new piece of middleware to give us version identifiers on each response.
module Middleware class VersionIdentifier def initialize(app, version_id) @app = app @version_id = version_id end def call(env) @app.call(env).tap do |_status, headers, _body| headers["version-id"] = @version_id end end private attr_reader :version_id end end
In the above source, we create a
initialize method which takes
app, which is the rack application that this middleware component is wrapping, and
version_id, which is how we will identify the version of the application is running.
The next step to define the standard rack protocol of
call(env). In this, since we are only concerned about the response, we call the next rack component by invoking
call on
@app which we got when the middleware was constructed. This could be another piece of middleware, or it could be the actual application, but we don't care about specifics, which is part of the beauty of the way middleware for rack works. What we do care about is the return of the call to
@app.call(env), since we are interested in modifying the response headers. We do this with using the tap method on all Ruby objects, and adding a new entry to the header hash with the key
version-id and the value that we got on creation for
That is all there is to creating a rack middleware component to add a version identifier to the headers for every response that is served by the rack web server.
To use this middleware, we first need to determine what the will represent the version of our app. For this example, we will use the git SHA that represents the code we are running against, since we are assuming we are behaving and there is no code running in production that is not checked into source control. We add this to our startup script/configuration file, e.g.
git_sha = `git rev-parse HEAD`
Once we have that settled, we just declare we are going to
use our middleware, and we pass in the git_sha that we found above.
use Middleware::VersionIdentifier, git_sha
We start up our application and voilà, we have a version identifier getting returned on every response with the header of
$ curl -i "localhost:9292" HTTP/1.1 200 OK version-id: 7df6e26a3dd1d3d05130e054fbcb1b878d965767 Content-Length: 7 Howdy! $

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - An appeal court has reversed a juvenile's conviction because the arresting officer lacked a principal's authorization to enforce Florida's school trespassing law.
The attorney general's office had no immediate comment Tuesday, but an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court is possible.
The 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee certified that its ruling Monday conflicted with another appellate court's decision on the same issue.
The Tallahassee court said the Jacksonville trespassing arrest was illegal because state law allows only a principal or the principal's designee to direct someone to leave a school facility or campus.
The sheriff's deputy assigned to the school testified he had no connection with the principal's office nor was he under the principal's authority.
Although convicted, the juvenile, identified only as "B.C.," received no penalty.

Until iTunes Radio launches in Canada, I have no reason or need to subscribe to iTunes match. I purchase all of my music from the iTunes music store which automatically comes with iCloud syncing and streaming without the need to download the music directly to the device. I could see it being useful if you download your songs illegally or upload your physical CDs to iTunes, but so long as you purchase the music from iTunes like I do, other than the ad-free iTunes Radio benefit, iTunes match serves very little purpose.
How to subscribe to iTunes Match from your iPhone or iPad
iTunes Match is Apple's music locker service. For $25 a year it lets your store and listen to up to 25,000 songs on Apple's iCloud servers, including songs you've previously ripped from TV. If you have more music than you can comfortably store on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac laptop, iTunes Match is a great way to keep both your storage free and your music available. And now, with iOS 7.1, you can subscribe to iTunes Match directly from your iPhone or iPad!
Note: iTunes Match isn't yet available in every country. Here's Apple's official list of supported regions:
How to subscribe to iTunes Match
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 7.1 or higher.
- Scroll down and tap on iTunes & App Store.
- Tap on Subscribe to iTunes Match. Note that you'll only see this option when you're signed into your iTunes account with your Apple ID. If you aren't, do that first.
- On the iTunes Match menu, tap on the Subscribe button that shows the price for your country.
- A popup will appear asking you to confirm your subscription. Tap on Subscribe.
- Type in your Apple ID password when asked.
That's all there is to it. You should instantly have access to iTunes Match after subscribing. If you've subscribed, let me know what you think of it in the comments? Does having your music in the cloud save you lots of storage space on your iPhone or iPad?
Reader comments
How to subscribe to iTunes Match from your iPhone or iPad
Adam, I completely agree with you. If all of your music was bought from iTunes there's little benefit to match. I have a large collection of cd's so a majority of my music isn't available to me. I keep saying I'm going to join match and with my iPod aging and at capacity I think it's finally time that I joined.

Thanks for the tip! I have to remember this when I renew.

UK News
Insights from the UK and beyond
Should BNP be on Question Time?
On Thursday night, BNP leader Nick Griffin will appear on the BBC's leading current affairs programme "Question Time", an appearance that has provoked much anger and debate.
Griffin is no stranger to the airwaves or TV screens, regularly appearing this week alone after four leading former generals attacked his party for using military imagery as part of its campaigning
But to some politicians, including Home Secretary Alan Johnson and Cabinet minister Peter Hain, the BBC's decision to allow him on Question Time was totally wrong, giving a much higher profile platform to Griffin and his far-right views.
They also say that a recent court decision to order the BNP to open up its membership to non-whites meant the party broke race relations laws and was therefore unlawful.
Should the BNP be able to use military imagery?
This is a busy week for the British National Party (BNP).
Today it was warned to stop using military imagery in its campaign material. A group of former military leaders accused the BNP, which has used photographs of spitfire fighter planes and Winston Churchill, of hijacking Britain's history for their own "dubious ends."
The distinguished generals said this tarnished the reputation of the armed forces and called on them to "cease and desist."
The BNP bends ears in east London
"I am not a racist, I am a realist," said Bob Bailey, the leading London candidate for the anti-immigration British National Party (BNP), after ascertaining my British credentials.
Bailey was campaigning in east London for next week's European elections, keen to show that the party often reviled by the media for its right-wing views and rejected by much of the electorate up to now, was not a two-horned monster.

Arizona Cardinals
Cards NT Carter getting opportunity at DE
Second-year Arizona Cardinals nose tackle David Carter will get a chance to show what he can do this week at defensive end.
With Calais Campbell expected to be out Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, Carter seems confident he can fill the void.
"Moving outside to the defensive end position from nose tackle, it was a little harder for me than I thought it was going to be," Carter said. "But, I finally came around and got it and now I am doing pretty good."
Carter said he hadn't played defensive end since his freshman year at UCLA.
"I am used to making plays at nose tackle, then I got moved out to end and I wasn't making as many plays as I am used to making," Carter said. "So I had to figure it out, now I am making plays again."
Though he claims nose tackle is still "his heart," The former Bruin is starting to fall in love with his new position too.
"I'm doing pretty good at defensive end," Carter said. "I like them both now. I didn't like defensive end at first, I'm not gonna lie. I hated it, but now I like it a lot."

Baking Tip: Bake Muffins & Cupcakes In Condiment Cups
With the onset of fall, there seems to be an increase in our need to bake things. If you find yourself wanting to whip up a cute cupcake or a homey muffin, then look no further than a condiment cup. Wait — what?
Condiment cups (also called soufflé cups) are a handy accessory for muffins and cupcakes. They come in multiple sizes, and they let you forgo a muffin pan completely.
If you are trying to save space in a little kitchen by ditching your muffin pan, but then, come fall, really want a batch of fresh muffins, pick up a dozen soufflé cups instead. They sit perfectly on a baking sheet, no specialty pan needed. Fill and bake as directed. If you use smaller ones, they are an adorable size for mini cupcakes and muffins. (If using the really smal ones, bake the same way you would any other cupcake, just reduce the time. Most will need only 7 to 10 minutes max!)
Condiment cups are also a little sturdier than your usual cupcake wrappers, forming a stronger holder for the baked goods. Maybe you need snacks to send with the kids to school, or something easy to transport into the office. The condiment cups keep everything together, and then, when it's time to eat, the sturdy paper folds can be teased apart and opened until you basically a little plate for your muffin.
If you're not into cupcakes or sweets, try making mini quiches instead! They freeze beautifully (wrappers and all) to be thawed later (baked or unbaked), so give them a go!
Condiment cups can be purchased at restaurant supply stores, or, if you're feeling larcenous, the smaller ones can be hijacked from your local fast food joint (think: ketchup cups).

What size souffle cup do you recommend for muffins?
I really do not understand why someone didn't think of this sooner? lol Great idea!
I remember seeing a lot of this a few years ago during the heaviest of the cupcake craze, and I never liked it at all. Mainly, it is just because this is how all of the school cafeterias I had growing up did their cupcakes/cornbread, so it just reminds me of dry baked goods and canned greenbeans. No matter how good what is inside them might be, I'm still gonna feel like I'm eating the bottom shelf bargain version :/
Foil baking cups will stand up on their own, too. Just set them out on a baking sheet, not touching, and fill. They're readily available; I buy the Reynolds brand in the baking aisle of my grocery store.
Wow. Way to put a negative spin on a nice story. I think this is a wonderful idea, and will be seeking these cups.

Dennis Schröder and Germany went back to work again on Sunday, as they try to qualify for EuroBasket 2015.
Germany came into the game against Luxembourg with a record of 1-1 following a loss to Poland and a win over Austria. While their .500 record puts them in the middle of their qualifying group (Group C), they played as though they were the best team in their group, blowing out Luxembourg 109-49.
The game started out close as Germany and Luxembourg went back and forth to start the period. Luxembourg even took a two point lead, 9-7, early in the game following a lay-up by Tom Schumacher. However, that lead was short-lived.
Germany dialed up the intensity and took the lead back following a bucket by Robert Benzing at the 6:09 mark. The basket gave Germany the lead at 11-9. They never looked back after that shot as the Germans led for the rest of the game, eventually turning it into a blowout.
Five players scored in double-figures for Germany, with three of them coming off the bench.
The Atlanta Hawks' Dennis Schröder also played well for his national team, scoring nine points on four-of-six shooting and dishing out four assists. Schröder also cut down on his turnovers, only committing two in the match — he was averaging 5.0 turnovers per game after the first two matches.
Although Schröder played well against Luxemborg, it is important to note the young point guard was relegated to backup duty after starting the two previous games. He could earn his starting role back if he plays with the pace he did on Sunday.
The win improves Germany's record to 2-1, and also puts them into a tie for first place following a close loss by group-leader Poland on Sunday.
Germany will play three more games in the second qualifying round EuroBasket 2015, one against each group member: Austria, Luxembourg and Poland.
Their next game will be a re-match against Poland on August 20. Germany will be looking for revenge and will be sure to get it if they play similar to their strong showing on Sunday.

The Florida Solar Energy Center reports that moisture levels in the home are one of the easiest elements to alter so that mold will not grow in a house. Since people prefer humidity levels that are generally below the critical relative humidity for mold growth to occur, the simple acts of using ceiling fans, reducing the number of house plants in a home and leaving interior room (and closet) doors open can all help reduce moisture levels throughout the home.
John Stark with Simonton Windows advises homeowners with plantation style blinds or heavy window coverings that are closed all the time to change their habits. Condensation can get "trapped" in between the window treatments and the windows, creating a damp environment that may encourage mold growth.
"By routinely opening window coverings to increase ventilation near windows homeowners will help reduce both condensation and potential mold growth," says Stark. "Another smart tip is to make sure that air vent deflectors are placed on floor vents to reroute air into the room rather than straight up against a window.
"Vinyl windows are a smart, durable choice for the home. However homeowners have to do their part too. Keeping the home well ventilated and clean during all seasons of the year makes it easy for vinyl windows to remain the most effortless and reliable windows imaginable in the home."
See Simonton Windows Homeowner Booklet Explains Condensation in the Home for more tips on reducing condensation in the home.

I think you're wrong though about unions, and specifically in your assertion in this blogpost that nurses "cannot strike". Not only can nurses strike, but they often have done so, most recently in order to win improvements in pay and conditions in Ireland a couple of years ago.

It's a commonly held misconception that nurses can't strike.

Likewise with your comments about the unions. As a long-standing UNISON member I'm well aware of how poor the unions can often be in responding to issues, both local and national. However, stronger unions in the health service are an essential part of changing the culture to one where problems get solved rather than brushed under the carpet, and people feel able to raise issues without being victimised.Nickhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277229251527832949.post-70835900471225783452011-01-23T17:05:05.523-08:002011-01-23T17:05:05.523-08:00This Nurse didn't work well as a team with the...This Nurse didn't work well as a team with the other ward staff.
