Wenger admits he 'doesn't know the truth' over Fabregas move
Arsene Wenger believes that Cesc Fabregas 'landed where he wanted to go' following claims the midfielder did not want to return to Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger believes that Cesc Fabregas 'landed where he wanted to go' following claims the midfielder did not want to return to Arsenal.
Fabregas left Barcelona to join Chelsea earlier this summer, but Arsenal had an option to try to re-sign their former captain three years after he left the Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that Fabregas was 'not open' to rejoining Arsenal and that it was an 'easy job' to persuade the Spain international to move to Stamford Bridge.
Wenger is aware of the comments, but the Arsenal manager would not be drawn on whether Fabregas was opposed to returning to the club.
"I think people came out and said he wanted to go to Chelsea," said Wenger after Saturday's friendly win over Boreham Wood.
"I don't know who tells the truth here or not. He landed where he wanted to go."
Wenger has been active in the transfer market this summer after adding Alexis Sanchez and Mathieu Debuchy to his squad, and he has also been linked with several midfielders.
He is planning further additions to his ranks, with a goalkeeper on the agenda following Lukasz Fabianski's move to Swansea City and the end of Emiliano Viviano's loan spell.
"I'm happy with the business I've done until now but it's not over," said Wenger.
"There is still a long way to go and I'll bring in another goalkeeper for sure."

Some of the better restaurants will ask you how you want it cooked, depending upon the type of pork you are ordering. I cook my pork tenderloin to medium, with carry over heat it's served juicy and with a touch of pink in the middle.

I am soooooooo frustrated. I have been contracting regularly for almost 3 days now. My OB checked me yesterday AM and I was only 2cm... went to the hospital that afternoon and was 4cm so they admitted me. I wouldn't go past 4cm after 6 hours so they just took the IV out and sent me home. I honestly can't believe it. I have lost my mucus plug, am having some light vaginal bleeding, contracting, and not dilating any more. ahhhhhhhh anyone in a similar boat???
Sent home after admitted to hospital at 4cm, 85% effaced.

that is frustrating...but imagine if they admitted you, and you didn't progress within 24 hours!you'd be facing an unecessary c section...i'd rather wait at home misreble for a few more hours rather than take care of surgery wound for 8 weeks.
hang in there!!!it's happening, just a few more hours!
Wait at home & enjoy not laboring in the hospital. It's frustrating not to progress quickly, but just remember that your body is getting itself ready for birth. It will be a much better delivery if you don't force it. Your baby will be in your arms soon!!!
To a PP - c-section surgery wounds do not last for 8 weeks... my incision was completely healed by 5-6 days out and my insides barely hurt at all. No pain meds other than ibuprofen now occasionally. Just for the record...
Hopefully more porductive labor will come soon!

oh really, mamtoem.
that makes me feel so much better!!!!!!!!!!i always thought it took 8 weeks!
well, why do they give c sections extra time for maternity leave?????maybe it aint so bad afterall..
Oh wow! That would stink! I'm surprised they didn't just give you some pitocin to rejumpstart things. Of course not eveyrone agrees with that and depending on your situation it may not be best! I thought once you are admitted you stay.
Everybody should believe in something. I believe I'll have another coffee.

me! I would have never thought that once they admit you you could be sent home! The reason they sent me home was because i wasn't 37 weeks so they wouldn't give pit or break my water. When I walked in I was a fingertip and I stalled out at 4 cm. Still pregnant two weeks later!

Gordon Hirabayashi Has Died; He Refused To Go To WWII Internment Camp
"This order for the mass evacuation of all persons of Japanese descent denies them the right to live," Seattle native Gordon Hirabayashi wrote in 1942. "I consider it my duty to maintain the democratic standards for which this nation lives. Therefore, I must refuse this order of evacuation."
With that, Hirabayashi became one of just a handful of Japanese-Americans who defied the government's move to put more than 100,000 of them in detention camps following the attack on Pearl Harbor. For his refusal, he was imprisoned more than a year.
It took four decades for Hirabayashi to be vindicated, with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that the internment policy "had been based on political expediency, not on any risk to national security," as The Associated Press writes.
By then, Hirabayashi had become a respected sociologist and a hero in the Japanese-American community.
Monday, at the age of 93, he died. A son says Hirabayaski had Alzheimer's disease, The New York Times reports.
Later today, All Things Considered plans to air a conversation with one of Hirabayashi's nephews. As we were looking for more about Hirabayashi's stand against the detention order and his life, we came across a winter 2000 University of Washington report with some fascinating details and some of his words about what happened:
— Hirabayashi was convicted [in 1942] and sentenced to 90 days in prison (plus time already served). Getting there, however, wasn't as easy as it sounds. He was assigned to a minimum security prison in Arizona, but there was no money to transport him. 'I asked, Why don't I go on my own?' recalls Hirabayashi. The courts agreed to that, and wrote a letter in case he was questioned along the way. 'I hitchhiked but didn't realize how hard it would be due to severe gas rationing. It took me more than two weeks to get there, sleeping in ditches along the way and with friends where I had some. Finally, around Las Vegas, I gave up and bought a bus ticket.' "
— "When Hirabayashi arrived at the prison — two weeks late — the staff could not find his papers. They tried to send him home, but Hirabayashi balked at the idea, believing that it could lead to more trouble in the future. 'They told me to go out for a nice dinner and a movie while they looked for the papers,' recalls Hirabayashi. 'So I did. By the time I returned, they'd found the papers.' "
— "Did the reversal [of his conviction] change Hirabayashi's view of the United States? Most definitely, he says. 'There was a time when I felt that the Constitution failed me,' he explains. 'But with the reversal in the courts and in public statements from the government, I feel that our country has proven that the Constitution is worth upholding. The U.S. government admitted it made a mistake. A country that can do that is a strong country. I have more faith and allegiance to the Constitution than I ever had before.' "
In 2000, the university honored Hirabayashi at its "Celebration of Distinction, in recognition of exceptional lifetime achievement."
San Francisco's KGO-TV has a video report.

When coming to stop when braking hear a slight knock or creak from rear Had sound diagnosed was told rear brakes pads need to be replaced.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Arc Reactor Kit http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62240&th=12899#msg_62240 <![CDATA[Hi guys I'm not sure where to post this but if it gets noticed then it can be removed.

 I'm looking for the person who bought my Arc Reactor Kit as I am very interested in feedback. Is there a way of finding out who bought your models?

 Regards

 Paul]]> paulelderdesign 2013-02-17T16:02:03-00:00 Re: Arc Reactor Kit http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62256&th=12899#msg_62256 <![CDATA[We all would like to get some feedback on our models for all kind's of reasons but shapeways isn't offering a feature to contact our customers yet.

 I think shapeways users should have a opt in-out for shop owners having the ability to contact them when they've bought something from their shop, users can then buy an item anonimously or not.

 A personal thank you for buying my design message would be nice too.

 If customers love your products i think they would'nt mind getting in personal contact with the designer behind the product for feedback or just letting them know there are new products in the shop that they may like aswell.

 Is this something that shapeways is working on @bartv ?

  http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&&th=1 1752&goto=57574#msg_57574
  http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&&th=7 426&goto=40282#msg_40282

 I can see points on both sides of the question.

 I recently discovered a mistake in one of my models, and I asked email@example.com to notify the three people who had previously purchased the items to let them know how bad I felt about the mistake, and that the model had been corrected. (to some buyers, accuracy is everything) CS passed it on to them and I still don't know who the buyers were - that's fine with me.

 For my own two cents, it's a matter of privacy with me. The LAST thing that I am interested in would be for someone to go on a hard-core marketing campaign, spamming me with "Buy this NEW item from me!" emails every few hours. On every designers page, there is a "contact me" button. If I want to talk to you, I'll use that button. And.. if I am purchasing some necklace as a surprise for my wife, I very well might not want that purchase to be reported up on Facebook. Once Shapeways gives out my contact information to a third party, there's nothing I can do to get it back. I don't want that.]]> stonysmith 2013-02-17T22:45:05-00:00 Re: Arc Reactor Kit http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62268&th=12899#msg_62268 <![CDATA[I like my privacy aswell so like i said an opt in-out option in the account settings for users to purchase anonymous or not would be nice.

 It's common for a webshop to collect contacting information from people who wants to get updates.

 Shapeways could also regulate it anonymously
 (shop owners can send a mail thrue shapeways or pm to a customer that just bougt youre item or send a little shop update to all the customers once or twice a year)

 Any option to stay in contact with customers would be great i think.]]> GADesign 2013-02-17T23:20:02-00:00 Re: Arc Reactor Kit http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=62326&th=12899#msg_62326 <![CDATA[I'd be happy if the person who bought it was to just post in this thread don't need their contact information just to see how it looks. I'm only going on a render so it's all theory. So far all my scaled models have been recieved well by friends and family and I get to see them. I searched the section of the forum "It arrived" so if the buyer posts there I will thank them personally.

[edit] Background
Garrett returns in this modern reboot of a stealth classic. Thief marks the long-awaited comeback for the master thief, from the creative minds at Eidos Montreal, in this unique "first-person stealther." Armed with skill and tools of the trade, Garrett is poised to pick clean the entire City, but when a heist goes horribly wrong, this master among thieves finds himself embroiled in a sinister conspiracy that threatens his home.
Thief is all about the perfect heist, challenging players to overcome whatever obstacles might stand in Garrett's path. While the game is designed to accommodate various play styles, there is a clear emphasis on stealth, where the player is typically encouraged to avoid direct confrontations and seek out more subtle methods of overcoming obstacles; do as Garrett would.
While Garrett is clearly a very talented thief, he has at his disposal a number of valuable tools that give him an advantage, such as his lockpicks and a climbing tool (which can double as a club) called "The Claw." His skill with a bow also opens up a unique means of traversing the open world, as well as engaging enemies, thanks to the versatile array of arrows he carries.
Garrett's Focus is another integral aspect in Thief's gameplay, utilizing the strange energy that he becomes imbued with after that fateful night and the failed heist. Focus essentially amplifies the thief's existing skills, letting him move from place to place at even greater speeds, while making enemies and other targets easier to pinpoint. Much like his weapons and tools, his Focus can be upgraded throughout the game.

A Pensacola man and a teenager are in custody for the stabbing death of a woman.
The body of 53-year-old Patricia Findley was wrapped in blankets, wired in a shopping cart and dumped into Bayou Grande.
Escambia County investigators say 22-year-old Steven Pratt and 15-year-old George Smith have confessed to the killing.
The woman's body was found Friday by a man who reeled the cart up to his dock. The suspects say they weighed the cart down with a concrete block and stepping stones.
The victim lived off and on with Pratt's family.
Pratt is being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond. Smith is in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

Narrow, hilly, curvy road to park. Back-in grassy site was too slanted to allow us to level without taking wheels off the ground. Utility connections were convenient, water pressure was fair, Verizon cell service was good. - jbrucemagon

We stopped here on our trip north to Maine. It was a wonderful place to stay for an evening after a day of traveling. We were in a grassy field where we were able to pull in level and stay hooked up for the night. The campground had a pool but we were unable to use it due to thunder in the area. They had a miniature golf course on grounds that the kids enjoyed playing. In the area where you check in there was a piano that the kids also enjoyed playing, toys for little kids, books to read, games to play and downstairs was a gameroom with a pool table and various arcade games. The bathrooms were clean. We will stop here again when we travel this way. - alnal90

CC Club celebrating 80th anniversary with two shows
Photo by Tony Nelson
You can throw a wadded-up bar napkin in any direction at the CC Club and probably hit a local musician, but it's far more rare to actually hear 'em playing at the Uptown watering hole. This December, the historic space that has hosted one of the great cultural revolutions of the Twin Cities and is fodder for the New York Times' assessment of our singles scene is gonna rock out.
Yes, the CC Club is marking its 80th anniversary with a pair of shows on December 6-7. As a press release points out, it's been decades since a band has played the 227-capacity room.
See Also: The CC Club: An oral history
We know that there are a dozen bands set to play, but the CC is keeping that lineup under wraps for the moment. Given the love that plenty of influential bands that cut their teeth in the '80s expressed for the place in City Pages' oral history of the bar, it could literally be ANYONE. "A variety of local headlining acts, which have, and continue to put Minneapolis's music scene on the map," eh? Update from CC Club regarding the lineup: "We're keeping it a complete secret." Suggested attire for the shows is post-Prohibition garb.
Photo by Tony Nelson
More details to come via the CC's Facebook page. The week before the shows will bring karaoke, DJs spinning local music, and more special activities. Tickets for the 80th anniversary bash will only be available at the bar.
CC Club 80th anniversary. $19.33 (or round up to $20 to donate to the Bridge for Youth), Friday, December 6, and Saturday, December 7, at CC Club, 2600 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis.

I am also going to add a hwloc_ prefix to plugin filenames because we
obviously can't create a libpci.so (libtool even warns about this).
XML backends could be hwlocxml_ (not hwloc_xml_) to make it clear that
they are not normal hwloc_ plugins.

The Coast Guard rescued a sick man off a boat about 22 miles off Hatteras Inlet Monday.
The Coast Guard got a call just before 11 a.m. that a 74-year-old man aboard the "Little Clam" was showing signs of medical distress.

Wow! amazing stories
Call it what you will, those are all still just bullshit urban legends.
truly enigmatic
I can't believe it if i don't see it.
Number 6 technically, isn't true. Our brain is HARD WIRED to recognize faces. Look at a grape juice stain on your friend's shirt, chances are it will look like Lady Gaga in a Badger Hat. The only "enigma" part of #6 was the part when a body was found under the house.
10 More Enigmas That Defy Explanation
Also known as a list of complete horseshit.
Well, if it's on the internet, it must be true! Only when, ya know, a cursory google search suggests all of these are probably complete bullshit or easily explained: http://skepticdetective.wordpress.com/tag/jean-hilliard/ And for the pathetically dumb implication that the failure to reproduce the "Hutchinson effect" is somehow evidence of how amazing it is: http://www.skepdic.com/hutchisonhoax.html
Has anybody caught on yet that all this endlessly regurgitated aggregated list bullshit is killing the internet?
Raining blobs look like jelly..
This is so cool! I'd love to find out how these things happened.
Interesting stuff!
Number 8 is Reavers
Shitty bullshit.
Interesting stories you don't have to believe. Most the interest lies in ways to debunk them, even if they are 100% unsubstantiated.
Faces of Belmez
Is it just me or doest that stain on the wall look like a person staring at you? Yup, its one of the many faces of Belmez that the Pereira family home is used to having. For over twenty years, the faces that appear can resemble males or females. They also arrive with different expressions every time. Strangely, the faces only stop at the house for a quick visit before disappearing. Investigations have been preformed upon the house to discover what was causing the faces to spontaneously pop up. One investigation exhumed and removed a human body from under the house, but that still didn窶t stop the faces from making round trips. Several hypotheses have been formed to help explain this strange reoccurring phenomenon, but overall, no conclusions have been come to.
Welllllll.......I'd have to see it to believe it, but it's fun to read this stuff.

Rideau v. Louisiana
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Rideau v. Louisiana, 373 U.S. 723 (1963)
Rideau v. Louisiana
No. 630
Argued April 29, 1963
Decided June 3, 1963
A few hours after a man robbed a bank in Lake Charles, La., kidnapped three of the bank's employees, and killed one of them, petitioner was arrested and lodged in the Parish Jail. The next morning, a motion picture film with a sound track was made of an "interview" in the jail between petitioner and the Sheriff of the Parish. This "interview" lasted approximately 20 minutes, and consisted of interrogation by the Sheriff and admissions by petitioner that he had perpetrated the bank robbery, kidnapping, and murder. Later the same day and on the succeeding two days, the filmed "interview" was broadcast over the local television station and was seen and heard by many people in the Parish. Subsequently, petitioner was arraigned on charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, and murder, and two lawyers were appointed to represent him. They promptly filed a motion for change of venue, but this was denied and petitioner was convicted in the trial court of the Parish and sentenced to death on the murder charge.
Held: It was a denial of due process of law to refuse the request for a change of venue after the people of the Parish had been exposed repeatedly and in depth to the spectacle of the petitioner personally confessing in detail to the crimes with which he was later to be charged. Pp. 373 U. S. 723-727.
242 La. 431, 137 So.2d 283, reversed.

Is the Dog Ban in Public Venues Helpful?
It seems to be one of the perils of running a business in a city, if we were in the country I'm pretty certain I could make use of a church hall, a rugby club or a horse riding centre. My issue is that if we want our dogs to be properly socialised in the right way, for owners and dogs to be taught, to receive advice and learn then I need to be able to provide a safe and productive space to do this.

Bought two robes. One for a Christmas present for my daughter. Love the purple color. I am sure she will too. The other robe silver grey for me. Perfect color and robe is so soft as well as warm.

I have enjoyed this every day. It is very plush and keeps me dry and warm. The only drawback is it was longer than I expected. The length did not match the picture that was shown. it goes past calf and not knee high as the picture suggests.
Sun Apr 17 00:00:00 MDT 2011velvetbow Rating:5.0
I tried to order this robe before and it was always sold out of the silver sage. I read the other reviews and agree that this has a luxorious feel to it but is still lightweight at the same time. I did return the large and got the small/med. The large was too long in the sleeve and was too long down past my calves so i got the small and it fits great in the sleeve and the overall length but seems just not quite wide enough around my hips (i got a bubble butt!) so i opted to keep the small anyway cause i just loved this robe!
Mon Nov 17 00:00:00 MST 2014CatB2Cool Rating:4.0
I actually bought this set for the robe. The robe itself fits and feels great. It's "plushy" and warm. I use it for walking from the bathroom after a hot shower, down a cold hallway to my bedroom. perfect! the slippers.. I knew they wouldn't fit the moment I saw them. They are way too small, especially way out of porportion to the robe itself which is very long and thick. I did find other uses for them though, In a pinch I used them as "dusters" when I couldn't remember were I had put my regular duster.

This item just arrived today and it exceeded my expectations. The silver sage color is lovely, the feel of the robe is soft, the weight is just right for a summer robe, and the look is luxe. The pockets are extra deep and there are double belt loops on the sides to accommodate different waist lengths.

This is a truly lovely robe! It's a high quality fleece and is thick and comfortable. I bought it in the silver grey colorfor my granddaughter who is small. I ordered the Medium and it fits her with some room to spare. She loves it and I highly recommend it.

One of the nicest robes I have ever had. The right weight, not too heavy, not flimsy. Soft turkish cotton, I chose the gray, a pleasant light color, not dull, rather has a touch of silver. Great gift idea.
Sat Dec 27 00:00:00 MST 2014lisa2080 Rating:5.0
I seldom do these reviews but these robes are worth the effort. I bought 6 robes for Christmas, including one for myself. 5 are these robes and one from another company because I needed a two X for my husband which this style doesnt come in. The differences are not even measurable. I hate a microfiber robe that just traps the wetness in after a shower. This robe is the exact towel-like robe that I have been searching for but didnt feel like spending $100 or more on. These are very heavy, amazing quality robes. No dangling loose strings or thin areas anywhere and the colors did not bleed in the wash or with wear. I go yearly to an elite spa resort for a job conference. These robes are even better than the styles they provide with the rooms. I would recommend them to anyone and the price is literally unbeatable!

I ordered one for my husband & one for me. Excellent quality, holding up well to washing. The silver sage color is beautiful!
You have plenty of big, fluffy towels to keep you warm when you hit the bathroom's cold tile floor after a shower. But haven't you forgotten something? Staying cozy after you have dried off requires a bathrobe to wear when you really need to warm up. A luxurious bathrobe can be a particularly great addition to your morning or evening shower or simply a soft piece of clothing to wrap up in on a lazy weekend. Still not convinced you need to buy one? Here are five more reasons you'll want to make sure you have a robe in your bathroom. Read More

This post is really a collection of field notes and some lessons learned from recent project experience. I've done plenty of SSAS Tabular projects over the past few years – usually starting with a Visual Studio project rather than Power Pivot. I've also done a bit of Power Pivot work for clients. These projects were either delivered to an analyst using Excel on their desktop or some business users through SharePoint. But, authoring in Excel Power Pivot and deploying to a server-hosted Tabular model has been mainly theoretical up to this point so I thought I'd share my experience. Continue reading

SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Sessions on the Microsoft Virtual Academy
It was a great honor to be asked to join my associates from SolidQ at the Microsoft Virtual Academy Studios in Redmond and talk about how to upgrade to SQL Server 2012 and 2014. These recordings, which are also on my YouTube Channel, include the material I covered in these sessions. The entire series of studio presentations are hosted on Channel 9 and here at the MVA with accompanying assessment surveys and resources.
In these studio sessions, I am joined by my fellow authors of the 429 page SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Technical Guide; Richard Waymire, Ron Talmage and Jim Miller from SolidQ. Jim and I were responsible for the Business Intelligence content. In our sessions Jim covered SSIS and SSAS Multidimensional, and I covered SSAS Tabular, BI tools and SSRS. In this edited portion of the SSAS session, Jim begins with a brief summary of multidimensional upgrade options and I continue to discuss opportunities to implement SSAS Tabular solutions. BI topics apply equally to SQL Server 2012 and 2014 upgrades. Continue reading
SQL Server Upgrade Preconference at PASS Summit 2014
Please join my associates and I for an all-day SQL Server Upgrade workshop on November 3rd
If you are planning an upgrade to a newer version of SQL Server, you won't want to miss this all-day, preconference workshop.
Join John Martin, Sr. Technology Evangelist from Microsoft, will spend the morning discussing migration planning from SQL Server 2005.
In the afternoon, SolidQ mentors Ron Talmage, Richard Waymire, Jim Miller and Paul Turley will talk about and demonstrate upgrading specific workloads (projects and features) from older product versions to newer product versions. We will introduce the comprehensive SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Whitepaper that we recently wrote for publication by Microsoft.
Additional to upgrading specifically from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014, we will also talk about upgrading from SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 and 2014.
From the PASS Summit Sessions page:
An upgrade and/or migration is far more than just a case of moving a database or installing a new version of SQL Server, there have been so many changes since SQL 2005 arrived that we need to do a lot of tasks to ensure we have a successful upgrade project.
This session will guide you through the process, looking at not only the technology but the methodology, processes and tools that we have at our disposal to make sure that when we do move from SQL Server 2005 to 2012/2014 or to the cloud with SQL Server in an Azure VM or Azure SQL Database that we do so in a way that we can be confident of success. We will take a special look at workload-specific upgrade needs for OLTP, HA, SSAS/SSRS, and SSIS environments.
In my afternoon section, I will demonstrate the capabilities of SSAS Tabular models and discuss upgrading and migrating Reporting Services from 2005, 2008 and 2008R2 to 2012 and 2014.
SSAS Performance Logger Now Available
I've created a simple query performance logging tool for Analysis Services, called the SSAS Performance Logger. The tool allows you to navigate through the metadata for a tabular model and select from measures and table attributes to build a simple query which is executed and timed. The query can be executed many times to get an accurate sampling of test variations and to test performance while various loads are placed on the server.
I literally created this over the weekend and plan to add additional capabilities as time allows – so please check back. To provide feedback, add comments to this post.
My initial objective was to choose two different measures that were alternate methods of calculating the same value, run them side-by-side and then see which performed best. Then it occurred to me that we can run any number of measure performance tests in iterative loops and compare the results by playing back the captured log results. Since the results are captured in a log database, the test results for each measure or query can easily be compared and analyzed using tools like Excel and Reporting Services.
One of my main objectives for a future version of the tool is to add logging for server performance counters like memory usage, thread counts and CPU capacity; while these queries are running.
What you will need:
I've developed SSAS Performance Logger for use with SSAS Tabular in SQL Server 2012. To manage the logging database, it uses the OLEDB data provider for SQL Server 2012 which may be backward compatible as far back as SQL Server 2008. It also uses the ADOOMD data provider version for Analysis Services. When MDX support is added to a future version, it should support SSAS sources as far back as SSAS 2008.
System requirements:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
- ADOMD 6.0 (can be installed with the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Feature Pack)
- An instance of SQL Server 2008 or better with administrative/create database rights for the logging database
With these components installed, you should be able to copy the executable to a folder and run it.
To install:
- Download the zip file and extract it to a folder on your system
- Verify that the required dependent components are installed
- Run SSAS Perf Tester.exe
The first time it runs, the application will check for the logging database and prompt you to create it
- On the SSAS Query page, enter the Analysis Services server or instance name and press Enter
- Select a model or perspective, measure and table/attribute from the drop-down list boxes to build the query
- Click the Start button to run the query once and see how long it took to run
- On the Options page, type or select the number of times to repeat the query
- Click the Start button the run the query in a loop. The results are displayed in a line chart showing the duration in milliseconds for each execution
Every query execution is logged for later analysis. Here is a view of the logItem table in the SSASPerformanceTest database:
Features I hope to add soon:
- Generate MDX queries in a addition to DAX
- Handle multiple measures in one testing batch
- Log server performance counters
Taking the Tabular Journey
A Getting-Started and Survival Guide for planning, designing and building Tabular Semantic Models with Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services.
by Paul Turley
This post will be unique in that it will be a living document that will be updated and expanded over time. I will also post-as-I-go on the site about other things but this particular post will live for a while. I have a lot of good intentions – I know that about myself and I also know that the best way to get something done is to get it started – especially if I'm too busy with work and projects. If it's important, the "completing" part can happen later. In the case of this post, I'll take care of building it as I go, topic by topic. Heck, maybe it will never be "finished" but then are we ever really done with IT business solutions? I have been intending to get started on this topic for quite some time but in my very busy project schedule lately, didn't have a concise message for a post – but I do have a lot to say about creating and using tabular models.
I've added some place-holder topic headers for some things that are on my mind. This list is inspired by a lot of the questions my consulting customers, students, IT staff members and business users have asked me on a regular basis. This will motivate me to come back and finish them and for you to come back and read them. I hope that you will post comments about your burning questions, issues and ideas for related topics to cover in this living post about tabular model design practices and recommendations.
Why Tabular?
SQL Server Analysis Services is a solid and mature platform that now serves as the foundation for two different implementations. Multidimensional models are especially suited for large volumes of dimensionally-structured data that have additive measure values that sum-up along related dimensional attributes & hierarchies.
By design, tabular architecture is more flexible than multidimensional in a number of scenarios. Tabular also works well with dimensional data structures but also works well in cases where the structure of the data doesn't resemble a traditional star or snowflake of fact and dimension tables. When I started using PowerPivot and tabular SSAS projects, I insisted on transforming data into star schemas like I've always done before building a cube. In many cases, I still do because it's easier to design a predictable model that performs well and is easy for users to navigate. A dimensional model has order and disciple however, the data is not always shaped this way and it can take a lot of effort to force it into that structure.
Tabular is fast for not only additive, hierarchal structured data but in many cases, it works well with normalized and flattened data as long as all the data fits into memory and the model is designed to support simple relationships and calculations that take advantage of the function engine and VertiPaq compression and query engine. It's actually pretty easy to make tabular do silly, inefficient things but it's also not very hard to make it work really well, either.
James Serra has done a nice job of summarizing the differences between the two choices and highlighted the strengths and comparative weaknesses of each in his April 4 blog post titled SQL Server 2012: Multidimensional vs Tabular. James points out that tabular models can be faster and easier to design and deploy, and that they concisely perform well without giving them a lot of extra attention for tuning and optimization. Honestly, there isn't that much to maintain and a lot of the tricks we use to make cubes perform better (like measure group partitioning, aggregation design, strategic aggregation storage, usage-base optimization, proactive caching and cache-warming queries) are simply unnecessary. Most of these options don't really exist in the tabular world. We do have partitions in tabular models but they're really just for ease of design.
What About Multidimensional – Will Tabular Replace It?
The fact is the multidimensional databases (which most casual SSAS users refer to as "cubes") will be supported for years to come. The base architecture for SSAS OLAP/UDM/Multidimensional is about 13 years old since Microsoft originally acquired a product code base from Panorama and then went on to enhance and then rewrite the engine over the years as it has matured. In the view of many industry professionals, this is still the more complete and feature-rich product.
Both multi and tabular have some strengths and weaknesses today and one is not clearly superior to the other. In many cases, tabular performs better and models are more simple to design and use but the platform is lacking equivalent commands and advanced capabilities. In the near future, the tabular product may inherit all of the features of its predecessor and the choice may become more clear; or, perhaps a hybrid product will emerge.
Isn't a Tabular Model Just Another Name for a Cube?
No. …um, Yes. …well, sort of. Here's the thing: The term "cube" has become a defacto term used by many to describe the general concept of a semantic model. Technically, the term "cube" defines a multidimensional structure that stores data in hierarchies of multi-level attributes and pre-calculated aggregate measure values at the intersect points between all those dimensions and at strategic points between many of the level members in-between. It's a cool concept and an an even cooler technology but most people who aren't close to this product don't understand all that. Users just know that it works somehow but they're often confused by some of the fine points… like the difference between hierarchies and levels. One has an All member and one doesn't but they both have all the other members. It makes sense when you understand the architecture but it's just weird behavior for those who don't.
Since the tabular semantic model is actually Analysis Services with a single definition of object metadata, certain client tools will continue to treat the model as a cube, even though it technically isn't. A tabular Analysis Services database contains some tables that serve the same purpose as measure groups in multidimensional semantic models. The rest of the tables are exposed as dimensions in the same way that cube dimensions exists in multidimensional. If a table in a tabular model includes both measures and attribute fields, in certain client tools like Excel, it will show up twice in the model; once as a measure group table and once as a dimension table.
(more to come)
Tabular Model Design: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly & the Beautiful
As is typical for a newer product, the model designer usability isn't perfect and there's a lot to consider before trading up from a technology that's been around for a long time. This posts summarizes all that is good, not so good and beautiful about the next generation of SSAS tabular; in-memory, BI semantic models.
Preparing Data for a Tabular Model
I've taught a few PowerPivot training sessions to groups of business users (now, remember that Tabular SSAS is really just the scaled-up version of PowerPivot.) Admittedly I'm more accustomed to working with IT professionals and when I teach or work with users, I have to throttle my tendency to go deep and talk about technical concepts. In these classes, I find myself restating the same things I've heard in conference presentations and marketing demos about PowerPivot data sources, like "you can import just about anything into PowerPivot". As I read the bullet points and articulate the points on the presentation slides to these users, I have this nagging voice in the back of my mind. I've spent many years of my career unraveling the monstrosities that users have created in Access, Excel & Visual Basic.
Whether stated or implied, there is a common belief that a PowerPivot solution doesn't require the same level of effort to transform, prepare and cleanse data before it gets imported into a data model. For many years, we've been telling these users that it will take a serious effort, at significant cost, to prepare and transform data before we can put it into a data mart or cube for their consumption. In a typical BI solution, we usually burn 70-80% of our resource hours and budget on the ETL portion of the project. Now, using the same data sources, users are being told that they can do the same thing themselves using PowerPivot!
Data Modeling 101 for Tabular Models
One of the things that I really enjoy about building tabular models is that I can have my data in multiple structures and it still works. If the data is in a traditional BI "Kimball-style" Star schema, it works really well. If the data is normalized as it would be in a typical transactional-style database, it still works. Even if I have tables that are of a hybrid design; with some characteristics of both normalized and dimensional models, it all works beautifully.
Here's the catch; one of the reasons we build dimensional data model is because they are simple and predictable. It's really easy to get lost in a complex data structure and when you start combining data form multiple source systems, that's where you're likely to end up. Getting business data into a structure that is intuitive, that behaves correctly and gives reliable results can be a lot of work so be cautious. Just because a tabular model can work with different data structures doesn't that you don't need to prepare your data, clean it up and organize it before building the semantic model.
The classic star schema is one of the most effective ways to organize data for analysis. Rather than organizing all data elements into separate tables according to the rules of normal form, we consolidate all the measures that are related to common dimensional attributes and with a common grain (or aggregation level), into a fact table. The dimensional attributes are stored in separate dimension tables – one table per unique business entity, along with related attributes. Any group of measures not related to the same set of dimensions at the same level would be stored in their own fact table. In the example, Invoice measures that are related to stores and customers, recorded every quarter are in one fact table. The sales debit records for customers and stores that are recorded daily go in a different fact table. The account adjustments don't record the store key but they are uniquely related to accounting ledger entries stored in the ledger table. Note the direction of the arrows showing that facts are related to lookup values in the dimension tables.
Exhibit 1 – A Fully conformed Star Schema
If you can pound your data into the shape or a star schema and this meets your requirements; this is what I usually recommend. It's a simple and predictable method to organize data in a well-defined structure. Now, let's look a variation of this approach that has characteristics of both the star schema and normalized form. We'll call this a "hybrid" model.
The following hybrid schema contains two fact tables in a master/detail relationship. The cardinality of the Invoice and LineItem tables is one-to-many where one invoice can have multiple line items. This would be considered a normalized relationship with the InvoiceID primary key related to the an InvoiceID foreign key in the LineItem table.
The Invoice table contains a numeric measure called Invoice Amount that can be aggregated by different dimensional attributes. Those attributes, such as Store Name, Customer Name or any of the calendar date units in the Dates table that are organized into a natural hierarchy (with levels Year, Month and Date). To facilitate this, the invoice table is related to three different dimension tables: Stores, Customers and Dates. Each of the dimension tables has a primary key related to corresponding foreign keys in the fact table. The LineItem table also numeric measures and is related to the Products table, also a dimension table.
Exhibit 2 – A Hybrid Star / Master-Detail Schema
This semantic model supports two levels of aggregation with respect to the Invoice and LineItem records. If I were to browse this model in an Excel Pivot Table and put all the stores on rows, I could aggregate the Invoice Amount and see the sum of all Invoice Amount values for each store

Are There Rules for Tabular Model Design?
Oh, absolutely. Tabular SSAS and PowerPivot allow you to work with data is a variety of formats – structured & unstructured, dimensional & normalized. You have a lot of flexibility but there are rules that govern the behavior and characteristics of data. If you don't follow the rules, your data may not meet your requirements in the most cost-effective way.
This reminds me of an experience when I started high school.

Power View for Multidimensional Cubes Released
The Power View connectivity for Multidimensional Models has been released to the public as part of SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Cumulative Update 4. This announcement was made by Robert Bruckner to the SQL Server BI community last night, on May 31, 2013. The official public announcement, posted by Siva Harinath, is on the Analysis Service & PowerPivot Blog.
In March, I posted about the public preview of the "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 With Power View For Multidimensional Models". Well, the official release is now available for those currently using SQL Server 2012. When the preview became available a couple of months ago, I was very excited to test it out so I downloaded it, quickly scanned the release notes and then proceeded to upgrade an existing SQL Server 2012 SP1 development server. What I missed in the release notes was the requirement to uninstall several existing components and then to install them from scratch. That wasn't as easy as I had hoped but it's pretty typical for prereleased software to not include upgrade support. After all, the product teams are focused on finishing features and debugging and not getting all the upgrades and installation details sorted out. Those steps usually happen last in the release cycle.
Not to worry, this new capability is now part of the Cumulative Update 4 for SQL Server 2012. This means that it will be fully-supported as an upgrade to an existing SQL Server 2012 installation. This is very exciting news. If you have seen Power View demonstrated with new SSAS tabular models and PowerPivot models in Excel and SharePoint, you know what a simple and powerful data browsing and visualization tool it is. Some people have been a little disappointed that Power View initially only worked with new xVelocity-based tabular models and not the multidimensional cubes built with SQL Server Analysis Services, that have become common in many Microsoft centered IT shops throughout the industry.
The Microsoft product teams have shared a lot of good news, like this, recently about BI innovations – with Power View in Excel 2013 and GeoFlow recently released. They are likely to share even more good news in the weeks and months ahead. It's an exciting time to see some very impressive, powerful, fun to develop and fun to use BI business and IT tools all coming together to meet very real business problems.
I don't know about you but I'm going to get this baby installed and working right away. I have clients who have been waiting patiently (and some not so patiently) to use Power View with their existing cubes. I love to be the bearer of good news.
As is usual when something noteworthy happens on the Microsoft BI community, Chris Webb has blog eloquently on the topic and with significant detail. Read today's post on his blog here.
