PS3 picks pro wrestling for first round of live-event app
A new live-events app for PlayStation 3 streams sports, concerts, and other live entertainment events starting with the WWE's "Summer Slam."
PlayStation 3 is ready to rumble.
Unveiling a new live-event streaming app Tuesday, PS3 kicks off the service with a WWE Championship bout between John Cena and Daniel Bryan, part of WWE's "Summer Slam." The application can be downloaded for free later Tuesday on the PlayStation Store.
In addition to watching events live, PlayStation Network users also have the option to watch the events on demand. Some will be free, while others will require a pay-per-view fee.
PS3 already has other live-sports streaming through third-party apps from professional sports leagues, like MLB and NHL.
The new app should help Sony keep up with the Xbox 360's cache of streaming-video services , though details are sparse about how much content the PS3 live-event app will offer.

"Not really necessary"
I didn't find the products features useful for my purposes.
Just another way of taking money from people for a service that is easily covered by freeware.
I took one look at the features and saw that it offered nothing that I wanted to pay additional money for a convenience I would probably never use.

Sir, reading your profile biography, it appears you have had a tough life, and may be doing good work on drug policy.
Do you honestly think that this review is fair to the developers, who have worked hard on the application, and make their living by it? Do you think that this review is useful in any way to any one?
Other people can read the features for themselves- they don't need you to read the features for them. By your own words, you haven't even tried the program, so you offer nothing useful in that department, You say that there is freeware that does the same thing, but you do not name it. So nothing useful there, either. I think if you are going to accuse someone of "taking money" you should back up your words a little more.
Not everything has to be useful all the time. There is a place in the world for grouchy venting, I just don't think software review sites are that place.

So a while back I wrote a pretend letter to my future (and current) CPs about how wonderful a CP I am. Okay, it wasn't really that, but it was about how I do things… kinda. And it's funny. Really. Go read it if you want.
But now a year later, I've realized something else.
I am much harder on my CPs than I am on published authors. And sometimes I feel bad about that. I can get picky about things when critiquing. Little things. Things that are subjective. Not typos and grammar.
And sometimes I'll debate, should I write this, especially when it's so subjective? Usually I do, but I tend to put my disclaimer on there. The I'm not an expert, but…. Or the I'm not really sure, but here are my instincts about this. Or the I don't remember a reference to this, but I could've missed it comment. Just to name a few.
So here's some examples of what I mean by being harder on my CPs.
1. With a dual POV story. Sometimes I'll run into a phrase that both characters are using. It's not exactly an unusual phrase or anything, but it's something that could be said different ways. (I hope that made sense.)
I know that friends often use similar words and phrases because they're around each other a lot, but my opinion on that for writing is different. You want to make sure that their voices are not too close to each other.
So was using that phrase wrong? No. Not at all. But my subjective opinion says, don't do this.
Now when it comes to reading books, either Kindle or real book, do I pay attention to that?
Of course, I have to like the voice to read a book, but honestly, I don't pay close attention to dual POV voices and see if they're too similar.
2. Sometimes I'll see a vague detail mentioned about a supporting character. And then it's referred a second time, but it's not fully explained. But since I'm seeing it referenced that 2nd time, my mind starts to wander. Is this important? Why aren't we hearing more about it? Will something happen at the end that relates to this tidbit of information or is it just a small detail slipped in twice?
So I'll probably say, "What's up with this? Why are you holding back? Is this important because you've mentioned it twice, and I really want more info here."
There was nothing wrong with what they did, but my mind is wandering off into directions that might not be important.
But again, would I do that with a novel I read on my Kindle?
No. I'd gloss over it and keep going. So really, I'm being harder on my CPs than I am on published authors and their books. And I kinda feel guilty, bad for my CPs cause there might be a lot of comments in their critique–many of which are just my opinion about the matter.
I have a theory to why this happens.
1. When I'm critiquing, I'm reading it slowly. I'm thinking more about the what and why. When I'm reading for fun, I'm reading quickly. I'm not analyzing characters and things on each page. I'm just reading to enjoy a story.
2. When I'm critiquing, I'm reading on a computer. Which makes things stand out more. When I'm reading for fun, it's in a book or on the Kindle—once again making it easier to read quickly and sometimes skim.
I have a feeling that if I could take those published books and put them in Word and then go through and critique them, I bet I'd find a lot of things to mark too. It'd actually be fun to do, but I don't know any way to do that.
So anyways, to the amazing CPs whose stories I get to read, I hope you don't mind me being so nitpicky. The way I look at it is, I'd rather say my comment, even if it's totally subjective, than not say it at all. Cause what if it was a mistake on your part?
Well then you'd be eternally grateful for my help. And really, who doesn't want that?
Are you harder on your CPs than the authors of books you read for fun?

Query critique at Falling For Fiction
September 6, 2012 by Suzi
I am close to finishing up my editing on The Proper Way to Say Goodbye, and I hope to be querying by October. At least that is the plan. And I don't want to make the mistake I did with my first novel–querying with a bad letter–so I'm getting as much help as I can.
Thursday I'm over at Falling For Fiction. The ladies there offer critique help, and I've submitted my query. So Kelley G. will be giving me her suggestions, and I'd really appreciate any comments you may have also.

A professional's opinion
April 29, 2012 by Suzi
First. I got tagged in the Lucky 7 Meme by Stephanie Sinkhorn. I've already done it, so if you want to read it, go here.
So Yesterday I attended the SCBWI Dakota Conference. It was a small event with only about 30 people, but we had three great speakers. Author Cindy Kane, Illustrator Carrie Hartman and Editor Brian Farrey-Latz from Flux—the young adult imprint of Llewellyn Worldwide.
Brian's presentation was the one with the most information that pertained to me. He's a dynamic speaker and is fun to listen to. One thing he spoke about was making sure we're balancing the plot—the action, with the internally emotions of the main character.
Apparently this is one of my problems with FROSTY.
I signed up for the 15 minute manuscript critique session with Brian. (My first 1500 words) This was so cool because as I said, he's an actual editor at a publisher that works solely with YA.
Some of the ladies there (ladies cause there were only 3 men out of 20 and 2 were speakers) were nervous about their critique. I wasn't nervous, but I hoped it wasn't going to be ALL negative.
He had some good things to say and of course pointed out the negative. Overall I was happy to hear what he said and the bad stuff didn't surprise me.
Three months ago, I got a critique from someone else in the industry and she commented that things were moving too slowly at the beginning. And that I had too many inner thoughts. So I revised and deleted 12,000 words. I think I went overboard. It wasn't balanced.
Setting and description isn't my strong suit to begin with, but I cut too much of what I did have at the beginning. Many of the places where I cut are where Brian suggested I add more detail. I'm not going to bring back everything I cut because the key is balance. I just need a little more to establish my setting.
I also need to add some more internal thoughts. No big conversations, but just a line or two every occasionally.
After I met with Brian, I skimmed through his comments. Most of them are about adding a detail or two. Or to take a few lines and move them out of their current spot to somewhere else.
It was a lot of great comments and I'm glad I decided to do the critique. Even though it was a one day conference and didn't have a lot of attendees, I learned a lot and met a ton of new people.
Now time to get back to work.

Cleats Sports Classic Invite Preview
Todd Gold
Sunday, March 11, 2012
SCOTTSDALE, AZ-- The 2012 Cleats Sports Classic Invitational tournament will bring together 23 teams from schools in eight states as well as Canada.
Co-hosts Chaparral and Saguaro are both defending state champions in Arizona, with Saguaro having won back-to-back titles. Other host teams include 2011 5A semifinalist Desert Ridge, the current No. 4 team in the
Southwest Regional Rankings
in 8-2 Desert Mountain, 9-0 Tolleson, and 9-2 Arcadia. Each host team won at least one playoff game in 2011 and are among the top teams the state of Arizona has to offer.
The host teams are joined by teams from Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington.
The nation of Canada sends four teams, with Abbotsford Secondary School joining three club teams; the Calgary, Redbirds, Vancouver Cannons and the North Shore Twins. The other representative from the north is Houston High School from Big Lake, Alaska.
In addition to providing rare exposure to the large crop of players from Canada and Alaska, the Cleats will feature several players who have already made a name for themselves as prospects on the national level. 2011 Perfect Game All-American Classic participant Mitchell Traver highlights a strong Houston Christian squad which has opened the season with an 11-5 record in spite of a very tough schedule playing in one of the most competitive areas of high school baseball in the nation.
Houston Christian has a combined staff ERA of 1.56 and TCU commits Traver and RHP
Brian Trieglaff
are joined by effective finesse lefty
Hayden Treu
, experienced senior
Alan Norman
and promising 2014 RHP

Chaparral features the top ranked lefty in the field with

, an Arizona State commit. Junior
Dillon Bigcrane Jackson
gives the Firebirds another interesting LHP, . The Firebirds have won nine state titles in the past 20 years, with four more championship appearances. The Firebirds have sent three players to Major League Baseball in recent years: Paul Konerko, Ike Davis and Brian Bannister.
Saguaro doesn't feature a pitcher of the caliber of Traver or Diamond, but their abundance of quality position players make them a legimate contender in this tournament. Led by CF/RHP
Zach Gibbons
and RF
Chris Akmon
, the SabertCats feature a dangerous lineup that can quickly jump out to big leads.
Other prospects who have caught the eye of the Perfect Game staff in the past include: Fort Collins SS

Food Trend: Home Canning
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, August 11, 2009
With the economy in the dumps and folks more interested in growing their own foods, everyone's talking about home canning. So when my girlfriend and I heard about a canning workshop at the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture near my house, we had to sign up. Canning has been around for 200 years, but I was new to the practice. What did I learn? It's pretty easy, definitely fun and a wonderful way to preserve fruits and veggies to enjoy year round.
Intro to Canning
The workshop's instructor Sherri Brooks Vinton (also the author of The Real Food Revival) was our canning maven and walked us through the basics. The first thing Sherri told us was that canning doesn't actually involve cans; instead you use glass jars. Experts have made many improvements to the preserving process since your grandmother's days — steps to help control the growth of clostridium botulinum, a deadly bacteria that may develop in canned food. Things still do go bad sometimes, but as long as you follow the exact instructions and discard food that is questionable (i.e. foul smelling, foamy, bulging lid), you should be able to enjoy your canned goodies safely.
There are two basic canning techniques: pressure canning and the boiling water method. You use pressure canning under high heat for more alkaline foods like meats and veggies. In class, we stuck with the boiling water method; it isn't as hot as pressure canning and is good for beginners. When opting for boiling, you need to pick foods that are more acidic because they'll naturally decrease the chance for bacteria to grow. Typically canned chutneys, jams, pickles and tomatoes use this method.
Before getting started, there are three things to keep in mind:
1. Make sure you choose an updated canning recipe (You may have grandma's old recipe book, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the safest choice).
2. Go for high-acid foods (i.e., tomatoes, salsas, pickles, relish, fruit jams and jellies, etc.).
3. There's no rushing the canning process. The boiling time listed on the recipe is the exact time needed — no more and no less.
Equipment for the Boiling Water Method
You can purchase a home canning kit, or you can use some of your own kitchen equipment. You'll need the following:
- Jar lifter: Don't use tongs — you're handing very hot jars and you don't want them to slip. Look for a lifter at your local hardware store.
- Special 3-part glass jars: These include jar bottom, lid and a lid ring with rubber inside. Don't use old mayo jars — you need these special ones. The glass parts and lid rings are reusable; you'll only need to purchase new lids.
- Funnel: Makes it easier to get the food into the jar.
- Lid lifter: These are magnetic to help with lifting.
- Bubble tool: This thin, long stick helps pack food into jars and eliminate air bubbles that form between the pieces of food. Chopsticks are another option.
- Large Pot: You don't want your jars to sit on the bottom of your pot; look for special canning pots or place jar rims on the bottom of your home pot to keep jars lifted.
Food Safety Alert!
Clean all your equipment with hot water and soap before you start. And don't forget to wash your hands! An apron will probably be helpful, too. Your empty jars will be sanitized when you place them in the water to boil. You can also dip your tools in the boiling pot to clean them. Skip the bleach; you don't need it to sterilize (and nobody likes that horrible smell).
Packing Methods
When prepping your jar filling, there are two options: cold pack and hot pack. With the cold pack method, you don't cook food before placing it in jars. You'll need to use an acidic ingredient or mixture to help preserve the food and protect against bacteria. I've included a pepper recipe below that's cold packed. It uses vinegar (a highly acidic ingredient) to help preserve.
The hot pack method, as the name implies, involves cooking food before you jar it. Jams are foods that are always cooked before canning.
After Prepping Your Recipe
Many how-tos tell you to pre-heat your jars in the water; this helps keep them from breaking when you introduce a hot food into them. Use the funnel to get food in the jar and then the bubble tool to help push food down and get rid of air bubbles. It's important to buy the correct bubble tool (or use chopsticks) since you don't want to scratch the glass in the jar or the metal lid (this causes rusting). Leave space between the liquid and the food and between the liquid and the top of jar (typically 1/4 inch for each).
Once you've packed the food, clean the rim of the jar well and use the magnet tool to put the flat lid on. Gently screw the lid ring onto the jar until it is fingertip tight (don't close it tightly). Use the jar lifters and place the jar in boiling water. Bring the water back up to a boil and start timing. When time is up, turn off the heat and leave jars to cool for 5 minutes in the water and then remove. After some time (it took us about 10 minutes), you'll hear a pop. Put your jar aside for 24 hours and check that seal is tightly attached. You can keep the jarred food for up to one year in a cool, dry place.
RECIPE: Pickled Peppers
Sherri kindly shared her recipe for Pickled Peppers. The sweet-and-sour brine mellows the chilies, making them perfect for a liberal sprinkling on pizza, rolled into a burrito or chopped up with your morning eggs.
2 cups white distilled vinegar
2 cups water
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pound chili peppers, sliced
In a medium saucepan, bring vinegar, water, salt and sugar to a boil. Pack peppers into clean, hot, pint-sized jars, leaving a 1/2-inch space between top of the chilis and the top of jar. Pour the hot brine over the peppers, leaving 1/4-inch headspace between top of liquid and top of jar.
For refrigerating: Cool, cover and store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
For longer-term, shelf storage: Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Process, using the boiling water method, for 10 minutes. Remove from water, cool and check seals. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

You can do so much more with canning….we make large batches of brunswick stew, homemade vegetable beef soup, chili beans, spaghetti sauce in a 30 quart black cast iron kettle (aka a washpot in the South) and then can it all in jars. If you don't have a large cast iron pot, you could probably use one of the large/tall canning pots to make it. We do this outside with either a propane gas burner, or oak wood. This is good stuff especially in the winter time! We use tomatoes, corn, okra and other stuff from our garden and buy anything else we need, like the kidney beans to add to it.
I together with my buddies were looking through the best points on your web blog and then suddenly I had a horrible suspicion I had not expressed respect to you for those tips.

Description This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/634,447, filed Aug. 5, 2003 by Martin Standing and Hazel Deborah Schofield entitled CHIP SCALE SURFACE MOUNTED DEVICE AND PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE which application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/819,774, filed Mar. 28, 2001 by Martin Standing and Hazel Deborah Schofield entitled CHIP SCALE SURFACE MOUNTED DEVICE AND PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE and is related to and claims priority to provisional application Ser. No. 60/194,522, filed Apr. 4, 2000 in the names of Martin Standing and Hazel Deborah Schofield. This invention relates to semiconductor devices and more specifically relates to a process for the low cost manufacture of a novel semiconductor device. Semiconductor devices and housings are well known. In prior art devices, the housing area is frequently a large multiple of the area of the semiconductor device. Further, in many known semiconductor device packages, heat is taken out only from one side of the die, usually the bottom surface. Further, in present packages the manufacturing process is costly, using single device handling techniques. More specifically, in present semiconductor devices, particularly power MOSgated devices, the top contact (the source) is generally an aluminum contact containing about 1.0% silicon (hereafter an aluminum contact). The aluminum contact is used because it is well adapted to the wafer manufacturing process. However, it is difficult to form electrical connections to such aluminum contacts so a wire bond process is usually used in which a wire is ultrasonically bonded to the underlying aluminum contact. These wire-bond connections have a limited area and are thus a source of electrical resistance (RDSON) and of heat generation during operation. However, the bottom drain contact is frequently a trimetal which is easily solderable or otherwise electrically connectable to a wide area contact surface without wire bonding as shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,451,544. Heat is primarily removed from the silicon die at the back contact surface, even though most heat is generated at the junction in the top surface and at the wire bonds. It is further known that solderable top contacts can be made to the top surface of a die, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,047,833. However, the packages used for such solderable top contact structures have had very large �footprints� in comparison to the die area. It would be desirable to produce a package design and process for its manufacture which would use a smaller package for the same die, while improving electrical characteristics such as RDSON of a MOSgated semiconductor type device. It would be further desirable to produce such devices in a process which permits batch handling with reduced equipment on the production line and lower costs. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the source side of a MOSgated device wafer is covered with a passivation layer, preferably a photosensitive liquid epoxy, or a silicon nitride layer, or the like. The wafer is coated by a spinning, screening, or otherwise depositing the liquid epoxy onto the wafer surface. The material is then dried and the coated wafer is exposed using standard photolithographic techniques to image the wafer and openings are formed in the passivation layer to produce a plurality of spaced exposed surface areas of the underlying source metal and a similar opening to expose the underlying gate electrode of each die on the wafer. Thus, the novel passivation layer acts as a conventional passivation layer, but further acts as a plating resist (if required) and as a solder mask, designating and shaping the solder areas. The openings in the novel passivation layer can be made through to a conventional underlying solderable top metal such as a titanium/tungsten/nickel/silver metal. Alternatively, if the underlying metal is the more conventional aluminum metal the exposed aluminum can be plated with nickel and gold flash or other series of metals, resulting in a solderable surface, using the passivation as a plating resist. The tops of the plated metal segments are easily solderable, or otherwise contacted with low resistance, as compared to the high resistance connection of the usual wire bond to an aluminum electrode. The source contact areas may have various geometries and can even constitute a single large area region. The wafer is then sawn or otherwise singulated into individual die. The individual die are then placed source-side down and a U-shaped or cup shaped, partially plated drain clip is connected to the solderable drain side of the die, using a conductive epoxy or solder, or the like to bond the drain clip to the bottom drain electrode of the die. The bottoms of the legs of the drain clip are coplanar with the source-side surface (that is the tops of the contact projections) of the die. The outer surface of the die is then over molded in a mold tray. A large number of die with such drain clips can be simultaneously molded in the mold tray. The bonding material may be protected with a fillet of passive material or by overmolding all, or a part of the assembly. The parts can be made in production by using a lead frame, a continuous strip, or by molding devices in a single block and singulating devices from that block. After molding, the devices are tested and laser marked and are again sawn into individual devices. The present invention provides a novel package for semiconductor die of the kind having power or other electrodes on opposite surfaces of the die and makes it possible, with low cost manufacturing techniques, to make both electrodes available for surface mounting on a common support surface, for example the metallized pattern on a printed circuit board. While the invention is described with reference to a vertical conduction power MOSFET having the gate and source electrode on one surface and a drain electrode on the opposite surface, the invention is equally applicable to IGBTs, thyristors, diodes and the like of various topologies. Thus, as will be seen, a novel die clip surrounds and contacts at least a portion of the back side electrode (a drain electrode in a MOSFET) and at least one leg of the clip extends over an edge of the die and terminates in a plane which is coplanar with, but insulated from the front surface contacts (gate and source in a MOSFET). The device may then be overmolded around the back and sides of the die and clip to present flat, coplanar solderable contact surfaces for all die electrodes to a mounting surface. All top contact surfaces are formed, using a novel solder mask to form easily solderable contact surfaces on the die top surface, while the die are in the wafer stage. Drain clips are then attached to the die after die singulation and are overmolded in a batch molding process. In accordance with the invention and as will be later described, a plurality of easily solderable contact posts 36 are secured to (formed on) the source electrode 32 and a contact post 37 is secured to the gate electrode 33 as shown in The pattern of contacts 36 can take different forms such as those shown in In forming the novel package with die prepared as shown in Clip 45 has a general �U-shape� with shallow legs 46 of a length slightly greater than the thickness of die 31 as measured from the surface 47 to the free surfaces of columns 36, 37, plus the thickness of an adhesive used to connect the drain to the plated interior surface 47 of the flat thin web 48 of the clip. For example, the clip may have a total thickness along the full length of legs 45 of 0.7 mm and a length from surface 47 to the free end of legs 46 of about 0.39 mm. the distance between the legs 46 depends on the size of the die, and a distance of 5.6 mm has been used for a size 4.6 die of International Rectifier Corporation, with a total width of about 1.5 mm for each of legs 46. Mold lock openings 48 and 49 may also be formed in the clip 45 as shown in In accordance with a feature of the invention, the solderable bottom drain electrode 34 of the die 30 is electrically connected to and secured to the plated interior of drain clip 45 as by a conductive adhesive 60 as shown in The structure is dimensioned so that the free surfaces of legs 46 (the drain connector) and posts 36 and 37 are coplanar. Thereafter and as shown in The top surface of solderable contact 40 is coplanar with drain clip projection surfaces 105. Thus, all of contacts 105, 40 and 37 will align with contact traces on a printed circuit board. The drain contacts may take any suitable form and could comprise a single contact er side, if desired. As shown in The wafer is then sawn to separate the die at lines 112 and 113 for example, and the die are singulated. The typical die 30 has the appearance shown in The singulated die are then placed drain source-side down, into conductive clips which are plated on their interior as with silver or some other conductive coating. The die is bonded to the clip, using conventional bond material such as a conductive epoxy as previously described. The clips/cans can be presented in the form of a lead frame and the devices can be later singulated from the lead frame. Although the present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments thereof, many other variations and modifications and other uses will become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is preferred, therefore, that the present invention be limited not by the specific disclosure herein, but only by the appended claims. Patent Citations

Missouri's economy grew at a slower pace than nation's this past year.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday that:
But state officials note the numbers are just estimates and say Missouri is faring well by other measures. Missouri's unemployment rate is below the national average and the state also has done well in recent reports on exports to entrepreneurship.

I am a huge fan of Boulder's Mojo IPA, and have been dying to clone it. After some discussion here, this is the recipe I came up with, and it pretty well nailed it. I did not have the time to dry hop this, and had to hurry it into bottles so I could pack up and move. The aroma needs a little boost to match true Mojo. Dry hop with some Amarillo. The proper hops to use here are Centennial and Amarillo, but I had a pound of Cascade on hand and no Centennial, so I adjusted for alpha and made the substitution with no consequences. The only reason wheat extract is listed is because my wheat malt was buggy and LHBS only had the liquid extract (50% wheat, 50% barley). It mainly serves to enhance the head of the beer.

I can still remember my first tiered denim skirt. I got it when I was in elementary school, and I thought it was the cutest thing I had ever worn.
It was short. I believe it only came a few inches above my knees. When you are little, you can get away with wearing stuff like that to school, though.
It was acid-washed, so the denim was really light and flecked with spots of darker blue. It had three ruffly tiers. I loved wearing it with neon shirts covered in glitter, because that was the trend of the time.

One thing is being a beer museum and another is being a very nice spot. Peculier is really nothing special other than... the beer menu. The music is ok, the service is decent and the atmosphere/crowd is forgettable. That said, if you want to try a new beer everyday, this is a good spot.

great beer, good food, decent prices, occasionally ditzy bar maids, odd smell, hipster jukebox. beerwise, my favorites include rogue shakespeare stout for 7.50 (I've been to places where they charge 15 bucks for it-in PA no less), and the beers in the "strong beer" section are very good too. get their cheese fries!!

This bar is unpretentious and fun. They have tons of beers, a well-informed staff, and some of the STRONGEST mixed drinks around. The one downfall is the bathroom: long lines for a creepy experience. But, I always have a good time. The prices for drafts are reasonable, and there are lots of fun people. It's a fun place.

Peculier Pub is the place for beer connoisseurs! Although the bar is dingy and dimly lit with neon beer signs, it has a character of its own. Their beer menu boasts hundreds of beers, ranging from domestic to hard to find foreign, from all over the world. Its a great place to expand your beer palate. Peculier Pub also has decent pub food if you are hungry or craving the munchies. If you sit at a table, a bar maid will take your order and most of the times they are helpful on describing some of the beers on the beer menu. However its recommended to ask if youre overwhelmed on what to order. Note that when you order beer from the bar maid, they automatically add 15% gratuity to your bill. Stay away from their cocktails that mix hard liquor with beer!!!!

Well, after all, what would a database be without some data? It's time to think about adding records. Before we dig into the specifics of this task, there are a few clarifications we need to make about the relationship between CE database properties, CE database records, and the overall structure of the CE database. (In the discussion that follows, I use the terms "database property" and "field" interchangeably; they are equivalent.) First, recall I said in the opening paragraphs of the last installment that CE records accommodate any kind of data. This is indeed the case, although perhaps a bit disingenuous. Here's why. Basically, a CE database property (field) consists of a CEPROPVAL structure, which provides descriptor information, and optionally of some application allocated space which contains data too large to be directly stored in the CEPROPVAL structure. To better understand this, let's examine the typedef of the CEPROPVAL structure: When we refer to a specific database property, invariably we do so using its CEPROPID, the first member of the CEPROPVAL structure. The CEPROPID is itself another typedef, which looks like this in the Windows CE header files: The CEPROPID provides two important pieces of information about a field: the ordinal of the field in the record, and the data type of the field. First, let's take stock of the possible types for a CE database property. You've probably noticed that this is a pretty short list—there are no floating point types, no native date or time types. Basically, the list above is a collection of the things that can either be stored in 32 bits or referenced through a long pointer. What ever goes into a CE database record must be made to fit into one of these types. The relationship between the type of the data and the actual storage of the data will be easier to picture if we skip ahead in the CEPROPVAL structure's members and examine the CEVALUNION member next. Here's the typedef of CEVALUNION: A union, if you aren't familiar with the idiom, is a single block of space that is large enough to accommodate the storage of its largest member. It can hold only one value, and thus represent only one of its members at any given time. Unions are a useful construct in situations where a variable might assume the value of any of several different types of data. In the case of a CEPROPVAL, its union member allows us to store seven distinct types of data in a generic database property structure. Here's a key relationship to visualize: A CEPROPID gives the data type of a specific property. A CEVALUNION stores either the actual data value, or a pointer to the data value. Both are members of the CEPROPVAL structure, which defines the property's attributes and (directly or indirectly) its value. Now, let's revisit the typedef of the CEPROPID: Recall that we said that a CEPROPID stores two pieces of information: the data type, and the property's ordinal position in the record. Here's how we create a CEPROPID for a short integer that's the third property in the record: The MAKELONG macro places the CE data type constant in the LOWORD, and the zero-based index of the property in the HIWORD of the CEPROPID. By storing the property's index, we are able to implement "sparse records." In other words, if you have a record type that has 10 properties, and in a particular case you only have data for two of them, them you add the record using an array of only two CEPROPVAL structures—one for each field for which you have data. The wDataLen and wFlags fields of the CEPROPVAL structure are unused, and by convention always set to 0. Summing up, here is a litany of the relationships among the structures that constitute a CE database: Whew! Let's take a look at how the AddBirthdayReminder() function adds records to the CE database. The first part of the AddBirthdayReminder () function is devoted to gathering data from the user interface controls of the dialog box. The one important part of this is where we retrieve the name of the lucky recipient of our largess from the edit control: The code for interrogating the dialog controls is fairly self explanatory, but notice two things: First, we have found the exact length of the name string, and allocated space to hold it, plus the terminating NULL. Second, the birth date that we retrieve from the DateTime control is returned to us in a SYSTEMTIME structure, which is not among the supported CE data types. Now, we'll skip ahead to the real work of structuring and populating the CE database record. There are three items of data in a BirthdayReminder record: a name, a birth date, and an integer that indicates the type of gift we'll be sending. In this example, we require the input of all three for each record. Therefore, to create a record, we need to allocate enough space to store three CEPROPVAL structures, plus enough additional space to store the name string and a SYSTEMTIME structure. Here's how we do this: We now have a single block of space large enough to hold the CEPROPVAL descriptor structures and all of the string and SYSTEMTIME data. The CEPROPVAL structures occupy the beginning of this data block; the name string and the SYSTEMTIME are stored in the remainder of the block. In order to write them into the proper location, we initialize a pointer to the byte immediately following the CEPROPVAL array. Now, we begin populating the array of CEPROPVAL structures. The wLenData and wFlags fields are unused, and by convention always set to zero. We step through the array of property value structures by indexing the CEPRPOVAL pointer, pRecord. To populate the name property, first we set its CEPROPID. The data type is CEVT_LPWSTR, "pointer to Unicode string", and its index in the array of record properties is 0. Next, we copy the data from the buffer we allocated when we got the edit control input to the data storage area allocated for this record. Finally, we set the CEVALUNION member to the offset in the record's data storage space where we copied the string. It is absolutely critical that you copy string data into the record allocation, and set the CEVALUNION member "lpwstr" to the correct offset in the record's data storage area. If you set "lpwstr" to an address outside the record allocation, (the buffer from which we copied the string, for example) when the application exits, that memory will be freed and the database will be corrupted. Next, we'll populate the birthdate property, which is a SYSTEMTIME value. Because this type isn't directly supported by CE, we must save it as a byte string, or BLOB (Binary Large OBject). First, we synthesize its CEPROPID, by combining its type and the index of this property in the record's property array. A CEBLOB is yet another structure, typedef'ed like this: The size in bytes of the object is specified by dwCount, and the address of the first byte of the string is given by lpb. As with the name string, we must copy the actual data for this property into the data area of the record allocation. To do this, we move the pointer past the region into which we copied the name string. Notice that we don't use LocalSize(lpwszWho) to advance the pointer, but instead, calculate the new location in the record's data storage area using the string length returned by WM_GETTEXTLENGTH. LocalSize() returns the size of the allocation that was actually made in our behalf, which may have been larger than our request. Moving the buffer pointer using LocalSize() could cause us to write beyond the end of the record allocation, corrupting the database, and possibly crashing the application as well.
We use memcpy() to move the SYSTEMTIME structure into the record allocation as a string of bytes. (This is also a good approach for storing floating point numbers in native format.) Finally, we initialize the dwCount member of the CEBLOB structure with the size of the SYSTEMTIME structure, and set the CEVALUNION member "val.blob" to the initialized blob structure. Saving the best for last, we initialize the final CEPROPVAL structure for this record. Because the data for this field is a short integer, we can store the property value directly in the "val.iVal" member of the CEVALUNION. Now we have a completely initialized data structure for the record. With the exception of iterative reading through a database opened with the CEDB_AUTOINCREMENT flag, there isn't really a "current record" construct that automatically operates on CE record access. As is the case with most of the rest of life, if you want to be somewhere, you have to exert a bit of effort to get there. Specifically, with respect CE databases, you must seek to a record before you can operate on it using CeSeekDatabase(). The parameters to CeSeekDatabase(), in the order shown, are the handle to the database; a flag indicating the type of seek to perform; a value whose meaning depends on the seek type (in this case it is the number of records to seek beyond the end of the database); and the address of a variable that holds the index of the new position on a successful return. Seeking is fairly simple if you want to add a record to the beginning or end of the database, and more complex if you want to find a specific record based on the value of a sorted field. For now, we'll let this example stand on its own. We investigate the use of CeSeekDatabase() in greater detail in the next example program, BetterBirthdays. All that remains is to write the record to the database, clean up after ourselves, and go home. First, we write the record, using a call to CeWriteRecordProps(). The parameters are, in the order shown, the handle to the database, the CEOID of the record to write, the number of CEPROPVAL structures in the array we are passing, and a pointer to the block we allocated to hold the array plus additional data storage. Notice that in this case we pass a value of 0 for the record's CEOID. This causes a new record to be created and added to the database. CeWriteRecordProps() returns the CEOID for the new record if the call is successful. To test for success or failure, we call GetLastError(). While you are learning the CE database moves, routinely testing for a status of ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER is a useful debugging tool, so we show that here. Finally, we free all the allocations we made to build the record data structures: When the dialog box receives an IDOK or IDCANCEL message, we close the database like this: Notice that we close the database by using its handle, not its CEOID. At this point, you've seen how to: But wait, there's more...,and we'll see about that in the next example program, BetterBirthdays.
