Celebrating 100 years of a life well spent
Rose Woodbury Morley was born in St. George, Utah on Oct. 18, 1911 as the second of 13 children born to John Taylor Woodbury Jr. and Nimzar Gagosian Woodbury. She was the oldest of 11 daughters born into that family. Her father was an educator who taught for 45 years most of those years at Dixie College.
Rose married Gerald Blackham Morley on Sept. 1, 1932 in Provo, Utah. They were later sealed in marriage in the Manti LDS Temple. Gerald and Rose lived in Price, Utah all their married lives. Six children were born to this couple, they are: Shirley Nimzar Hansen Blackburn (Calvin Hansen/Ferr Blackburn), Richard "Dick" Henrie (Diane Bean), Ray "Jeddy" Gerald (Sandy Craig), Carl Woodbury (Patty Marinoni/Bette Hawk), Susan (Tom Tucker) and Scott Taylor (Sharon Davis).
Gerald died in 1959 but Rose has continued to live in the same home-which was built for Rose during the depression-for the past 74 years.
Gerald and Rose have been blessed with 38 grandchildren, 131 great grandchildren and 15 great, great, grandchildren. Gerald and Rose have a posterity of a total of 251 persons all of whom have loved and revered them.
In her personal history Rose describes herself as "one of the luckiest girls ever born" to be being raised in beautiful St. George, Utah and then being able to spend the past 84 years in her beloved Price, Carbon County, Utah.
Rose first came to Price, Utah as a little girl to visit her Gagosian grandparents who had built a home and some apartments on 100 West Street. She fell in love with Price as a little girl and decided then that she wanted to live in this community for the rest of her life.
Rose has always been a very active, determined woman. She taught her children well and worked very hard after the death of her husband, when she was but 47 years old, to raise her two small children. She worked odd jobs to provide for herself and to ensure that her children got a good start in life whether that was an education, a mission or a good job. Her children are grateful for her sacrifice in their behalf and for the excellent example of faithfulness she has set for them and for their children over the long course of her life.
Her children express love and appreciation to all who have contributed to mother's care and the richness of her life over the years.

Black Lagoon by Rei Hiroe
Summary from Wikipedia:
Licensed by Viz Media.The story follows a team of pirates/mercenaries known as Lagoon Company, who smuggle goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the 1990s. Their base of operations is located in the fictional city of Roanapur in Thailand, and they transport goods in the PT boat Black Lagoon. When on land, they move around and conduct business using Benny's Pontiac GTO. Lagoon Company does business with various clients, but has a particularly friendly relationship with the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The team takes on a variety of missions—which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical battles—in various Southeast Asian locations and when not doing much, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in Roanapur.
I am not pretending that my opinion will be much worth in this forum as regularly just lurk around and wait for scanlations to pop up, but I have an issue and as this is the biggest scanlations community I know and regularly visit, I think this is the best place to give it a shot.
The issue I have is with the fact that absolutely no one is scanlating Black Lagoon.
I came to it when Carlsen Manga started to release the series in germany and therefore giving me, an Austrian, also access to it. This coincided with the end of the first series of the anime which I promptly got from a colleague. As far as I have gathered, Shinsen-Subs saw very high downloads for this series when they subbed it and it was also one of the few titles that made money for Geneon before they shut down their american operations.
This is all in addition to many anime reviewers, especially podcasters liking the anime very much.
I find it kind of hard to understand how a series that got so much praise all around and seemed rather popular with the crowd being paid no attention to at all when it is in manga form. The only scanlations I came across where Akatsuki-Mangas scanlations for the first two volumes as well as a few others translating the first or the first and second chapter.
I am not too familiar with the process of scanlation, but with the monthly release schedule of this manga, the episodic nature of the series and the fact that it needs next to no setup, I cannot really understand why nobody is translating a critically acclaimed and popular series.
Any insight for me?

PRICE - DeVon Venor "Speck" Oldroyd passed away on Aug. 19. He was born April 16, 1922 in Centerfield to Adrian Venor and Lola Nancy Nay Oldroyd. His married Rita Inez Robertson in Glenwood on Oct. 1, 1939.
DeVon loved Carbon County and never wanted to live anywhere else. He was a lifetime member of the Elks Club. He was a coal miner all of his working life and loved to tell entertaining and lively stories about his youth, working in the mines and his adventures with his family and his many friends. "Speck", as he was known by his coworkers and friends, loved to hunt, camp, fish, attend family functions and socialize with friends.
DeVon and Rita belonged to the Buckhorn Good Sam Club for more than 30 years and enjoyed many good friendships and camping adventures. If you were lucky enough to have known "Speck", you know that he was charismatic, humorous, loving and sometimes gruff. But, if you knew him really well, you knew that the gruff was only on the outside.
DeVon is survived by his loving wife Rita (Price), children; Beverly (Gary) Hall, of Shalimar, Fla., Buddy Oldroyd, of Spring Glen, Barbara (Jim) Dresslar, of Moab, and Scott (Kelly) Oldroyd, of Kemmerer, Wyo., 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister, Arlene Terry and brother, Jay.
A special thanks to all of the loving and caring people at the Heirloom Inn and hospitals who cared for my husband, our Dad and our grandpa. We will miss him so much.
During the final days of his life he continued to sing "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" to his sweetheart.
Graveside services were held at the Spanish Valley Cemetery in Moab on Aug. 24. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City.

Skip to comments.UN Official, Syrian Rebels Used Sarin Nerve Gas, Not Assads Army (May 2013 story)
Posted on 08/27/2013 6:07:16 PM PDT by TigerClaws
Testimony from victims now strongly suggests it was the rebels, not the Syrian government, that used Sarin Nerve Gas during a recent incident in the revolution-wracked nation, a senior UN diplomat said Monday. Carla del Ponte, a member of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told Swiss TV there were strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof, that rebels seeking to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent. But she said her panel had not yet seen any evidence of Syrian government forces using chemical weapons (CW), according to the BBC, she added that more investigation was needed. Damascus is facing growing Western accusations that its forces used such weapons, which US President Obama has described as crossing a Red Line. But Ms. del Pontes remarks may serve to shift the focus of international concern.
(Excerpt) Read more at livetradingnews.com ...
Bammy's new F&F operation.
What a surprise! Not.
But I think the Brits, the French, and the Obamanoid are still determined to bomb the wrong guys. Not the first time.
P.S. This story will make the MSN when pigs fly.
But we're going to rush headlong into this meat grinder anyway, because Bathhouse Barry needs to convince Matt Damon of his manhood.
Will be buried, even it true (and I suspect it is).
Somebody will put her mind right. Hope she doesn't drive one of those tree-seeking Mercedes-Benzes.
Whatever is true in matters of this nature, I simply do not trust the current administration to be on the side of truth. It is as if, whatever action they take, a reflex issues forth to say, "the opposite action would benefit civility and peace to a greater degree."
I continue to pray for all in authority, that they bear the sword in a manner that benefits the most people. There is a sense in which the devil is driven in rage to do things that result in greater good to all and more harm to his cause; witness the lady who called into Rush today and was driven by a hard core lesbian to read her Bible.
Kinda puts a crimp in Obamaumau's reason d' jour,
the stinking muslim turd.
It appears the CIA has lied about the source of the Sarin attacts to give Obama and Rino's an excuse to support the Jihadists. It is going to backfire BigTime!
Obama is itching to side with the killers responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. Another treasonous offense against our country.
How many more times?
THATS HER.... the famous professional victim from the Iraq War
she must have had at least 20 Home destroyed By the Americans,,,and or jooos
Ive been looking for a good image of here for weeks now
It's an ugly choice between siding up against them or siding up against Iran's nuclear weapons buildup against us, isn't it. Choose both. Smack Assad, and bomb Iran.
I just tweeted it to One America News Network
McQueeg may stoke out.....
We called it!!!! God bless truth!!. It was the TERRORIST AL QAEDA!! This is proof. It is time to stop this madness with everything we have got. Man the over-passes."IMPEACH OBAMA" This is WAR, alright. That stupid SOB did not have proof. I was on this, if you care to go back but it is not about me— It is about the USA we have LOST . I WANT IT BACK. Get rid of RINOs like McAmnesty and Gramnesty and the girly man McConnell. We take it back now!! They almost destroy4ed Israel with this lie!! Iran would have wasted them!!
But Mr. Husband of ThereZa Heinz says there is no doubt who used them.
And the court jester, Joe BiteMe, said with a very serious expression that there is no doubt who used them.
Who is anyone to contradict this men of flawless virtue?
Smack Assad, and bomb Iran. I would add blow up the Islamist rebels but still that's a plan worth looking at!
FIRE! Aim. Ready.
But...but...Joe Biden said.....
It was originally in Washington Times.
Not quite MSM, but second tier.
It's sad, but I trust Putin and this UN official more than I trust the US President.
Obama and Assad are both pathological liars. Since a VX gas attack makes absolutely no sense, I even believe Assad over Obama.
Sarin is not that difficult to deliver. The relatively low number of fatalities speaks to a inefficient system.
I know instinctively I'm against the French and John Fn Kerry.
From May 6 of this year.
This is OLD NEWS.
It's a repeat of a May 6, 2013 story.
The most recent nerve gas attack -- the one that is calling out the dogs of war -- was on August 26.
You beat me to it.
Buried by the MSM here but not the media elsewhere. Some of the British press is still independent. And I am surprised to say, the Russian press is not part of the Obama clique.
You are welcome!
Testimony from victims now strongly suggests it was the rebels, not the Syrian government, that used Sarin Nerve Gas....
Carla del Ponte, a member of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told Swiss TV there were strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof, that rebels seeking to oust Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent.
Note the date on the article.
When dealing with muslims, there are no rules of civilized behavior.
"This is old news"
Correct! At the same time was this front page news at the time - nup - I hear crickets!
Given that the rebels have done it once what is the likelihood that it was them again? Pretty high I would say.
If the rebels did it the first time and the Army did it the second time then how do we choose who to support? Or the real question would be - How can we support either?
So old news is telling us a story that Obama/Kerry, England and France may be choosing to ignore for the sake of their own plans/agenda
Only if you believe that the delivery system was actually "sophisticated" missiles.
There are two problems with that assumption, but I'll let the proponents chew on it. Why should someone else do all the thinking?
My suspicions of Obama's veracity are unchanged as well.
Exactly what makes the delivery of Sarin gas too difficult for rebel fighters?
If you dont think the FSA or rebel fighters dont have many of the same weapons as Assad troops, you arent paying attention. DIY weapons and delivery systems are being used by both sides in this conflict. Rebels have captured whole towns, including stock piles.
Here's some interesting analysis.
I agree, time to get the US back, but don't worry about Israel, God has a plan, it will come to pass. Focus on the homefront for the time being.
If he actually believes absurdities, it's not lying.
O'R was outgunned by both Col. Hunt and Col. Peters who disagreed with O'Reilly's smug assurances that the rebels were clean by citing the left-wing Doctors without Borders organization's unsubstantiated claims as "proof".
It was really fun tonight watching the eyes and eyebrows of the two frustrated and disgusted colonels as they tried to get a word in edgewise to disprove the speculative crap the Bloviator was blowing all over the airwaves tonight.
Because they are officers and gentlemen, the two military men couldn't really tell O'Reilly he was insane in his whole take on Syria, but their quizzical, raised eyebrows interspersed with eyeball-rolling told the whole story in pantomime right up till the end of the segment.
I loved it!
Kiss it Bill O'Reilly!
O'Smiley was just on selling involvement in Syria on the grounds that it was definitely the Syrian government that used that gas.
He accused Col David Hunt of "not trusting his own government" and literally chastised the Col like he was a little kid when he dared to disagree with the jerk.
O'Reilly can be a pompous and hypocritical jerk, sometimes, and he definitely does not know everything.
He himself makes almost daily implications that Obama is either a total ignoramus, or a total incompetent, or a worthy successor to that ultimate political lying criminal, Bill Clinton. But then there's the humorous "fair and balanced" thing, which often is fair and absurd.
..."why would the rebels kill their own neighbors—women, children and all? Such an action would seem to be poor public affairs work"....
For the same reason they were doing so in Egypt...it's not the rebels (homegrown fighters) it's the MBS just as happened in Egypt.
Assad's father had to deal with them (MBS) in his country and so has Asssad now...he made it perfectly clear from the start when they were infilitrating the rebel ranks, that he was fighting terrorists...and so did the rebels.
This has the clear earmarks of the MBS all over it....this is exactly how they operate in every country they send their thugs in.....they pit one side against the other until it gets so hot the International enters the picture....(just like they did in Egypt). They are doing the same in Syria...
The radicals kill thier own every single day. They just usually use bullets and bombs. They probably picked an unpopular part of towm. Say one with a few christians.
If the rebels were the ones who did it, this brings up a few TROUBLING questions:
1) Did they develop the Chemical weapons themselves, or were they GIVEN these WMDs.
2) If the latter ( i.e., they were given ), WHO/WHERE was the source from?
3) If they can use it in Syria, whats to stop them from giving it to terrorists who CAN and WILL use it in the West ( and here in the USA )?

A 2011 re-investigation of Edward Snowden's background check may have been faulty, Office of Personnel Management Inspector General Patrick McFarland told Congress on Thursday. Snowden is a former National Security Agency contract employee who leaked details of a top-secret spying program at NSA.
"We do believe that there may be some problems" with the re-investigation, McFarland said when Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., asked him whether he had concerns about whether Snowden's reinvestigation may not have been carried out in an appropriate or thorough manner. McFarland was testifying before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee on the federal workforce, which Tester chairs.
McFarland said that U.S. Investigative Services, a company that handles 45% of the federal government's contracted background checks, conducted the 2011 re-investigation into Snowden. Later that year, McFarland's office began investigating USIS for contract fraud. That investigation is still ongoing.
In a statement, USIS said it received a subpoena for records from McFarland's office in January 2012, with which it complied. USIS said it has cooperated fully with the government's civil investigation, but said it has not been told it is under criminal investigation.
USIS would not confirm or deny whether it had conducted any investigations into Snowden, saying those investigations are confidential.
McFarland told the subcommittee that 18 background investigators and record searchers — 11 federal employees and seven contractors — have been convicted for falsifying background investigation reports since the IG began investigating so-called fabrication cases in 2006. The abuses included interviews that never occurred, answers to questions that were never asked, and record checks that were never conducted, McFarland said.
A 19th investigator pled guilty last month, McFarland said, and a 20th is expected to plead guilty this week. Both investigators are contractors, he said.
Snowden was fired from his job as a Booz Allen Hamilton contractor after revealing NSA programs that collect private online communications from companies such as Microsoft, Facebook and Google, and phone records and metadata from Verizon.
Meanwhile, Icelandic business executive said Friday that a private plane is on standby to transport National Security Agency secrets leaker Edward Snowden from Hong Kong to Iceland.
Olafur Vignir Sigurvinsson said he has not spoken directly with Snowden but has been in touch with a third party representing him.
The businessman, who has connections to the WikiLeaks secret-spilling organization, said he has access to planes in Hong Kong and mainland China that Snowden could use.
But Iceland's government says it has not received an asylum request from Snowden, who has revealed his role in providing secret NSA documents about widespread surveillance programs.
Iceland Interior Ministry spokesman Johannes Tomasson said Snowden hasn't approached the ministry and could initiate an asylum request if he was already in Iceland.
When asked about the reports of Sigurvinsson chartering a private plane to fly Snowden to Iceland, Tomasson said: "We don't object to that. But we don't have any knowledge other than what has been in the news. We can't comment any further on that."
U.S. officials have expressed an interest in prosecuting Snowden for his admitted role in the publication of the documents. Snowden fled to Hong Kong and is hiding.
Sigurvinsson said that Snowden's potential private flight is being funded by private donations.
"There are a number of people that are interested in freedom of speech and recognize the importance of knowing who is spying on us," he said. "We are people that care about privacy."
Money is being raised on Snowden's behalf by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee based in the United States, but it was not expected to be tapped to help with the cost of a possible flight to Iceland.
Spokesman Matt Wall said Friday that more than $20,800 had been raised so far to pay for possible legal fees but that this would not be put to use for Snowden's personal expenses.
Sigurvinsson is a former director of DataCell, a data hosting service provider that, as one of its services, processed donations for WikiLeaks. He previously worked for investment and technology companies, including Baugur Group, MerkurPoint and iCell.
He said his group hopes to obtain Icelandic citizenship for Snowden.
"We are hoping that the government does what they did with Bobby Fischer," he said, referring to the late chess master who went to Iceland to escape U.S. prosecution for breaking sanctions imposed on the former Yugoslavia. "We will see what happens."

Praise for Firsthand
"You can't live a purpose-driven life without a real and personal faith. Christ didn't come to start a religion; he came to connect with you in a genuine firsthand relationship. Ryan and Josh Shook will challenge you never to settle for a secondhand religion but instead to develop a personal faith that transforms your life."
—Rick Warren, founding pastor of Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, CA, and author of the New York Times #1 bestseller The Purpose Driven Life
"It's rare to find young people unafraid to voice their doubts while still being bold in their faith. Ryan and Josh are two of those people."
—Mark Batterson, lead pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC, and author of the New York Times Bestseller, The Circle Maker.
"Josh and Ryan Shook, as the sons of a well-known Pastor and Author – Kerry Shook, have fully embraced the fact that although their dad gave them a great start, they need to run their own race. Learn how to embrace a Firsthand faith and walk in the strength of a personal relationship with Christ."
—Steven Furtick, Lead Pastor, Elevation Church & author of the New York Times bestseller, Greater
"Firsthand is a rich and insightful book for believers who are tired of second-hand religion. Honest, compelling and well-written, Ryan Shook and Josh Shook have given us a huge gift! Their candor is so refreshing, and they point to the way to a vibrant, personal faith. This could be one of the most important books you'll ever read."
—Jud Wilhite, author of Pursued, senior pastor of Central Christian Church

Recently I was "threatened" by a patient. So the news of therapist Kathryn Faughey being slashed to death in her Manhattan office Tuesday evening has really stayed with me. And it wasn't even her patient. Was my patient's threat serious? Here's the story.
A few weeks ago I saw two women, good friends, together in consultation. Both wanted procedures done (non-facial), similar goals but different procedures needed. Patient one (Uno) had lost a family member to an unexpected (car accident) death within the past year, but assured me that she was through with most of her grieving. We spent time discussing this. I wanted to be sure she was ready to proceed. The second patient (Dos) was Uno's best friend and had taken care of her while her friend grieved. She wasn't so sure her friend was through grieving. I finished the consultation and sent them home to think things over with instructions to both to be sure. They called back a week later and scheduled a day when both could have their procedures done on the same day. Their husbands would come and sit together in the waiting room. I once again, voiced my concern about the timing of surgery for Uno. Still I could not find anything "solid" to hang a refusal on.
Two days prior to surgery, Uno called and admitted she was not ready. She canceled, but her friend, Dos, had her surgery. All went well. Both came back for Dos' followup visit. Uno was so impressed with Dos' outcome, she wanted to reschedule. But as I finished removing stitches, Uno told me that her husband was afraid of her dying if she had surgery. She then told me "If anything had happened to Dos and she had died, I would have killed you." We discussed her husband's fear of her dying. I ask her if she could understand his fear better in light of her fear of her friend dying. I told Uno, in front of Dos, that I really thought she needed to wait for six months or more to grieve more (both she and her husband) before we considered re-scheduling her. I encouraged her to talk to her minister or a counselor without directly acknowledging the threat.
Did I handle it correctly? I'm not a psychiatrist, but I hope I did.
My condolences to Kathryn Faughey' family and friends.

My son sent me the small book, Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko, for my birthday last year. Boutenko is a Russian lady who brought her family to the U.S. for a position as a university lecturer some years ago. Within a year all four of them had serious health problems as a result of adopting the American diet. Boutenko, determined they would avoid drugs and surgeries took them cold turkey onto a raw food diet. That amazing story is recorded in Raw Family. A few years later, sensing their diet was still missing something, Boutenko researched further and decided the perfect human diet should model that of wild chimpanzees that possess a stong natural immunity to AIDS, Hepatitis C, cancer and other fatal human illnesses. Chimps share around 99.4% of the human genome, have the same A-B-O blood groupings and their tissue is used in compatibility studies in medical research. However they have a vastly different diet, 50% fruit, 38% greens and blossom, and the rest pith, bark, seeds and insects. Boutenko started adding greens to her family's diet – and found the best, most delicious way to do this was to blend them up with fruit in a delicious green smoothie. They noticed all kinds of health benefits – fewer cravings for bad foods, weight loss, more energy, clearer skin, stronger nails, better and less sensitive teeth – to name a few.
The nutritional content is astounding, preparation is simple and fast using a heavy duty blender, and you can use many different ingredients for a different taste and color experience. The basic rule for it to taste good is 60% fruit, and you learn from experience not to use too much strong-flavored greens such as mustard or dandelion greens. It's good to follow a recipe to begin with and Boutenko's book includes 17 that use easy to find ingredients. Bananas add substance and smoothness. Plus we add two scoops of whey powder for protein, and a teaspoon of vitamin C powder to aid detoxification of the body. We drink a green smoothie for breakfast every day now, and my husband often has a second at lunchtime. Here is my favorite recipe of all time from Green for Life:
Minty Thrill
Blend Well:
4 ripe pears
4-5 leaves of kale
1/2 bunch mint
2 cups water
Yields 1 quart smoothie

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 2.2.1, 2.3
Component/s: Quiz
Testing Instructions:
Tester: please use attached script to test this patch. (see comments)
Please test in 2.1.x , 2.2.x (and if possible test in master too)
please cherry-pick to all branches 2.1+. (I'm not sure if this is really needed on master, but if the code is there, the fix should be applied.)
Affected Branches:MOODLE_22_STABLE, MOODLE_23_STABLE
Fixed Branches:MOODLE_21_STABLE, MOODLE_22_STABLE
Pull from Repository:
Pull Master Branch:
Pull Master Diff URL:
In the developer forum (at http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=195237) I suggested a rewrite of one of the SQL queries involved in the upgrade to the new quiz engine:
Replace the following code (from question/engine/upgrade/upgradelib.php):
$questionsstatesrs = $DB->get_recordset_sql("
WHERE attempt IN (
SELECT uniqueid FROM {quiz_attempts} WHERE $where)
ORDER BY attempt, question, seq_number, id
", $params);
with this
$questionsstatesrs = $DB->get_recordset_sql("
SELECT DISTINCT s.*
FROM {question_states}
ON (s.attempt = uniqueid)
WHERE $where
ORDER BY s.attempt, question, seq_number, s.id
", $params);
It seems to be equivalent and is faster.

- Links Hierarchy
Review comments. (Summary: Close, but not good enough yet.)
1. I agree that the two SQL statements appear to be equivalent, however the word DISTINCT is redundant, and so should be deleted.
2. The whitespace in the patch is wrong. Can you fix that? (https://github.com/micaherne/moodle/blob/9dca57d469f1781f15ff2ad868a0f295921fe95c/question/engine/upgrade/upgradelib.php#L100 shows the right way to indent SQL. I know it is odd, but I copied that from other Moodle developers like Eloy.)
3. Surely the neighbouring query for $questionsessionsrs, which has almost identical structure, should be fixed in the same way. (https://github.com/micaherne/moodle/blob/9dca57d469f1781f15ff2ad868a0f295921fe95c/question/engine/upgrade/upgradelib.php#L153)
4. When you say "It seems to be equivalent" do you mean
"I have tested this on all supported databasese, or at least on MySQL and Postgres, and this does not introduce any regressions. If it does introduce any regressions, I will personally take the resulting flack from all irate Moodle users."
If not, how much testing have you given this? And please can you add testing instructions to the bug.
Many thanks for the feedback, Tim. I'll fix it up and get another pull request sorted out.
1. I'm not sure why I had the DISTINCT in there, but I'll remove it.
2. I'm having a bit of trouble inferring the code style for the whitespace from the example, and I can't find it documented in the coding guidelines. Is the rule something like: indent the SELECT by 8 spaces and right align the other keywords with it, and indent subqueries by 4?
3. The $questionsessionsrs query was performing fine on our data (which has just under a million question sessions) so I was working on the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" principle there.
4. Nothing as rigorous as that, I'm afraid! It was more
Based on my understanding of SQL this query should logically produce the same results as the other on arbitrary data
I did run the two queries for a fair number of different quiz ids and got identical results for both each time, but before I submit the new pull request, I'll write a test script to check this across the whole database. I'm afraid I don't have a Postgres test environment available, though, so I'm not in a position to test it fully on that. The best I could do is to do a fresh Moodle install on Postgres and ensure that the query actually runs, but it wouldn't provide any evidence that the performance is improved unless I could get some test data from somewhere.
1. Good.
2. Sorry, yes, it is a bit ad-hoc, but your summary is about right. (And the old code was wrong here.)
3. Well, I would rather keep the two queries more clearly parallel, and if you are having to test this code anyway, I don't see much extra risk in changing it.
4. What you say in your last paragraph is good enough for me. Thanks. I can test a bit on Postgres.
That's the pull request updated, and a test script (shoddy but working!) attached. I ran the test script on about 200 quizzes on our production data and it hasn't reported any discrepancies between the two queries, but I'll try to run it on the full 5000-odd if I can find time over the next week or so.
Hi all,
Thanks for the performance improvement removing the sub-select here.
Just for the record, this patch does apply cleanly to 21 and 22 branches BUT purely sticking to STABLE branch policy, this improvement has only been integrated to master.
Hi Aparup. Thanks for integrating this, but if I understand the situation correctly it's not going to be useful if it's only applied to master. The patched code only runs when upgrading from the old quiz engine to the new one, and since you can only upgrade to 2.3 from 2.2 (which already has the new quiz engine) the updated code will never be run. It really needs to go into 2.1 and 2.2 to be of any use!
I also disagree with your master-only decision.
This is a performance bug (even though the issue type is improvement). The change has been tested and works and fixes the problem. Bug fixes should be applied to stable branches.
Please reconsider.
+1 to backport. I can imagine this having big impact in sites with BIG-BIG numbers of attempts by quiz running mysql.
About keeping it in master... I guess it's because of the qeupgradehelper, about to allow to migrate quizzes/attempts after upgrade has happened or so.
I think it is more likely because some of this code is used for restoring 2.0 and 1.9 backups. Probably not this particular bit, but I have not had time to look closely enough at this code in master, and delete the bits that are no longer needed. Obviously, this is not something that should be done carelessly or in a rush.
Hi all, thanks for the +1's, i was just balancing on simple policy there.
I obviously didn't realise the performance impact and how much of an improvement it actually provided here. It would be interesting to know but anyway as said it applied clean, so backporting into 21 and 22... and done.(amending test instructions)
ps: just for discussion, i had the impression that the whole qeupgradehelper is going to be around (& useful) for a long while for any future engine (eg:hypothetically 2.9->3.0 ?) changes. is qeupgradehelper only aimed at 2.x to 2.2+ question engine upgrading?
qeupgradehelper is specifically aimed at the upgrade 2.0 -> 2.1 (and hence can be used for any upgrade in the range [1.9 / 2.0] -> [2.1 / 2.2]. Since you can only upgrade toe 2.3 from 2.2, it is not needed any more.
However, some of the underlying code, the code in question/engine/upgrade/ is also used when restoring backups from 2.0 or before into version of Moodle 2.1 or later. And, you will note that this code affects question/engine/upgrade/upgradelib.php. I think this specific method is only used by upgrade, not restore, but I don't have time to think about that in enough detail to remove it at the moment.
Works Great,
Thanks for fixing this Michael.

The Happy Paradox of Photography and Meditation
I raced to get to the pond in Arlington, hoping there would still be some light left when I got there. Luckily, there was about five minutes of great sunlight left, and it left lovely colors on the edge of the clouds, and glowing through to the still surface of the water.
Creating a photograph is like meditation, full of paradoxes that coexist happily. The perfect shot cannot be captured by chasing it into a corner, and yet you must have the persistent drive to do it. You must be open to seeing something unique and special in the current moment, but having a vision for what the perfect shot is will help you to record it.
It is dazzling to me how there is such a dance and flow between these various things. Perhaps the most important thing is to know when to run after a shot and when to back off and let your eyes and camera focus elsewhere, when to envision the end product and when to let the subject tell you what it wants to show, when to be in the moment but stay committed to letting your eye and your equipment be used to portray that thing of beauty.

OREM-James Stewart Fausett, age 67, passed away suddenly Nov. 12, 2009 at Timpanogos Hospital.
He was born on July 21, 1942 in Price, Utah to James William Fausett and Fern Ross.
He married his beloved Dianne Fossat on March 27, 1967 in Las Vegas, Nev.
Stewart was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was a longtime resident of Carbon and Emery counties where he was known by many as a disc jockey for KOAL Radio and a writer for the Sun Advocate Newspaper. He shared a special love for law enforcement and a colorful career as a dispatcher for the Emery County Sheriff's Department and the Utah Highway Patrol. In 1985, the family moved to Orem where he worked as a customer support representative for a number of different companies including WordPerfect and the Utah Transport Authority. Before his retirement in 2007, Stewart would often say that he had the best job in the world and he could always tell people where to go and how to get there.
Stewart enjoyed hiking, reading, traveling to new places, conquering Freecell solitaire and most importantly spending time with his grandchildren and other family members.
He is survived by his wife, Dianne Fausett, Orem; two daughters and two sons, Sherry Lynne Fausett, American Fork, Stephen Chad (Tracie) Fausett, Spanish Fork, Amber Leigh (Christopher) Coffey, Westminster, Colo., Shawn Derrick Fausett, Boulder, Colo.; his brother, Ross Orlin (Deanna) Fausett, St. George, six grandchildren, Aeryka, Baylee, Cymric, Allisyn, Madisyn and Sebastian; and one more grandchild on the way.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Funeral service, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009, 11 a.m., Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m. and Wednesday one hour prior to services. Interment, Mt. View Cemetery, Helper. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home.
