Actual NHL Players
September 27 2010 07:31AM
This is Bob Nystrom. A strong, violent winger in the Western League, he didn't have NHL speed but the Islanders took him anyway. After a cup of coffee at the end of his rookie pro season, Nystrom found himself taking an unusual step on his journey to the National Hockey League.
To quote famous powerskater Laura Stamm: "Just before the summer of 1973 Bill Torrey, the New York Islanders GM, phoned me. He asked if I could teach a promising rookie by the name of Bob Nystrom. Bob had a lot of promise, but his only hope to make the Islanders roster was to improve his speed. After watching him I felt that by improving his skating technique he could be faster. In those days professional hockey players did not have female instructors. To spare Bob any embarrassment, we kept our training sessions to ourselves. We worked from 6 - 7am, five days a week, for eight weeks. Bob didn't miss a day."
There are all kinds of stories involving the Islanders of that era and their pursuit of hockey players. The club traded for Bob Bourne 6 weeks after not getting him in the draft, sending away two NHL calibre defensemen because they felt he could play.
Last fall, Pat Quinn married qualified "pairs" with hopefuls and also-rans in an effort to improve the overall depth. That's why JF Jacques ended up with Horcoff and Hemsky, and why Brule and Penner ended up together last fall (an astute move that appears to be taking hold again this fall).
Jason Gregor mentioned in the article below that he feels the top 3 lines might break down thusly come opening night:
- Horcoff-Hall-Eberle
- Gagner-Paarjavi-Hemsky
- Cogliano-Penner-Brule
I agree with Jason, this might be the rotation opening night. There's no "tough minutes" line in that group and it is a very unusual use of the top 3 players on the roster (Penner, Hemsky, Horcoff), but it makes sense in one important way: the men and boys Renney is adding to the top 9 are just like Bob Nystrom and Bob Bourne 35 years ago: they're good bets to become NHL players.
I think Renney sees a future 2-way winger in Eberle, and placing him with Horcoff could be a year long tutorial. He also sees some chemistry between MPS and Hemsky, with Gagner the best option at C for what will be a high octane offensive line. The Penner-Brule pairing repeats itself here and gives Cogliano a real shot at playing with skill.
Lets not kid ourselves. They are going to be many nights when these lines spend long minutes without the puck and bottled up in their own end. Having said that, these are the 9 best forwards (and 9 best futures) available on the roster at this time and we shouldn't be surprised that they end up playing together. Colin Fraser, Ryan Jones, Zack Stortini, Liam Reddox and others remain to fill out the 10-14F spots in the next 10 days.
Now, if they can get Teemu Hartikainen to Laura Stamm next summer, maybe there'll be a few more options available to the coach for 11-12.

If you ain't first... yer LAST!

It is my experience that those who dismiss the people who "read stat sheets" do so in part because they fail to understand the numbers.
Jason Strudwick may be the nicest guy in the world, but it's been demonstrated on blogs like Copper & Blue that he makes those who play around him worse.
According to advanced stats and Cult of Hockey, R. Nillson and M.A. Poilet are good (not great) NHL players that deserved to stay on the roster, at least through training camp.
I don't need advanced stats to tell me that, in fact they weren't deserving of a spot on our team. Most of us could watch the damned hockey games and see that Poilet's pervasive tendency was to skate around in a mental fog waiting for the puck to come to him. And that Nillson brought his own web of game-killing softness. I agree with your conclusions about Strudwick,not because of advanced stats, but because when I watch him, I can see that he's too f$$king slow and that leads to mistakes. I'm sick of watching our opponents play as if we have only one D half the time. No stats for that.

@R.A. Slapshotzky
SMac type players don't fight Matt Cooke's or Lucic's. That's what Frazer or Strudwick is for. I still miss Laraque
September 27 2010, 10:49PM
Smac's presence means that other teams are less likely to goon one of our guys due to the fact that although the guys seems like a big teddy bear off the ice he has that potential to splatter another teams star player just for the sake of sending a message.

Merry Christmas-The Shopper's Guide to JoyPosted Saturday, December 17, 2011, at 1:51 AM
My Mother-in-Law, Merva, who has taught many others about joy in her lifetime. And Nathaniel wearing his Christmas Duds in 2008.
The perfect Christmas Gift cannot be wrapped and put under the tree. It cannot be found in the Mall or cyber-space. You will not be able to make a bid on E-bay either.
Without bragging, I will have to say that most people really like to receive gifts from me. I wasn't always talented in the giving department, but something clicked with me during an extended bout of depression.
I learned that it wasn't so much the dollar amount of a gift that made people feel loved, but the tangible proof that they cared.
Since the grandchildren came along, I have gotten a little lax in the giving department. They seem to take a great deal of your resources. But I am not complaining. I plan on teaching them the value of being a gift to someone other than themselves.
Years ago, in Glenns Ferry, a woman named Dee owned a second hand store. She was a wonderful woman who had a heart of gold. Every year at Christmas time, she set aside an evening for the young kids to shop for gift for their parents. I can remember how excited my son and daughter were to present a gift to Werner and I that they had chosen at the "Christmas Store".
Mom and Dad would put together a goody basket every year for an old Cowboy named Glenn. He loved Mom's homemade bread and biscuits. He was a very talented person who loved horses and kids. He created some of the most beautiful leather work that you have ever seen.
What was was so amazing about his skill level was that he couldn't shave himself without several cuts, but his hands were always steady when his knife touched the leather creating wonderful designs on saddles; wallets or purses or the endless hours of braiding headstalls or bridle reins.
In 1985, I was starting over with two small children and what I could pack in my car. Duncan and Laura took me and my two children in for three weeks until we could get an apartment. I don't think that I could have made it through all the adjustments of city life, divorce and starting over if it hadn't been for Duncan and Laura's love and their unstinting support.
A willing heart is all that is required to become a person who brings joy to others. God will provide the rest. Your heart will be filled with love and the ability to hear what is not being said out loud by those who are broken inside.
Merry Christmas Everyone! You have been my gift for this year. I appreciate your friendship and support.
The Shopper Guide to Joy will mean something different for everyone. Keep turning the pages to find your name and the description of your particular Joy.

Fixing fence is the one of the hardest jobs on a ranch. I no longer live on a ranch, but I do know what hard work is. Fences are everyone's concern, but nowadays,the "hole" is always your neighbor's side not your own. It used to be that you would respect your neighbor and mend the fence together. If their cows got in your field, a simple phone call resolved the problem. You might even saddle up your own horse and help them gather them up. We need more people who are willing to roll their sleeves up and fix the fence regardless of who your neighbor is. There are people in this country who need to be reminded that a fence is like the way you should conduct your life. Your posts should be straight and neat. The wire needs to be stretched tight and your gate might be closed, but can still be easily opened. And most of all, we can all saddle up together and ride the range, it won't matter if you have an Appaloosa, Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred. The cows still have to be gathered, fences have to be fixed, and the range is a wide open space of opportunity for us all.

Body Recovered from Suburban St. Louis House Blast
FLORISSANT, Mo. (AP) - A body has been recovered from the scene of a suburban St. Louis house explosion.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the house blew up and caught fire shortly before 3 a.m. in Florissant. Officials didn't release the name of the victim or the cause of the explosion.
Deputy Fire Chief Scott Seppelt says the two-story home was blown off its foundation.
Upon arriving, the Florissant Valley Fire Protection District found natural gas spewing from a break in the line at the meter. Flames burned off escaping gas for hours before utility workers could shut off the flow.
Investigator Tim Green of the Florissant police combed through the debris this morning but had no comment.

Rob Sherrard Steps Down From Virgin Blue10/03/2005
Brett Godfrey, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Blue today announced the departure from Virgin Blue of Rob Sherrard, Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer.
Mr Sherrard was a co-founder of Virgin Blue and oversaw the airline's operations from its inaugural flight on 31 August 2000 to present day, including engineering, safety, and flying operations for the airline's fleet of 50 Boeing 737s, and associated teams of 600 pilots and 1500 flight attendants.
Mr Godfrey said "Rob was a co-founder of Virgin Blue and an integral member of the team which built a new domestic airline for Australia. He has been a strong leader to all who worked with him and a mentor to many. "
"On a personal note I would like to acknowledge Rob's vision and unswerving support from day one of our concept to shaping the airline to what it is today, often in intensely challenging circumstances. He has simply made an outstanding contribution."
"We know that he will make a success of anything he chooses to do, and we wish him well with his pursuits."
In recent months Mr Sherrard has managed the transition of Virgin Blue's operations to Mr Andrew David, whose appointment as Virgin Blue's new Chief Operating Officer was announced in October, 2004.
Mr Sherrard described his decision to retire from Virgin Blue as 'long considered and purely personal' to enable complete focus on other plans and private projects with his family.
"I am confident that I am leaving Virgin Blue's operations in the capable hands of Andrew David as the airline embarks on its next stage of development," he said.
Mr David, aged 43, was previously General Manager Pacific Airline for Air New Zealand responsible for the New Zealand flag carrier's Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 operations covering the New Zealand domestic market, trans-Tasman and Pacific Islands routes. He was also previously Air New Zealand's VP Group Strategy and Planning, Chief Information Officer and Operations Business Performance Manager.

African-American Population
In 1790, when the first census was taken, African Americans numbered about 760,000—about 19% of the population. In 1860, at the start of the Civil War, the African-American population increased to 4.4 million, but the percentage rate dropped to 14% of the overall population of the country. The vast majority were slaves, with only 488,000 counted as "freemen." By 1900, the black population had doubled and reached 8.8 million. In 1910, about 90% of African Americans lived in the South, but large numbers began migrating north looking for better job opportunities and living conditions, and to escape Jim Crow and racial violence. The Great Migration, as it was called, spanned the 1890s to the 1970s. From 1916 through the 1960s, more than 6 million black people moved north. But in the 1970s and 1980s, that trend reversed, with more African Americans moving south to the Sunbelt than leaving it. By 1990, the African-American population reached about 30 million and represented 12% of the population, roughly the same proportion as in 1900.

Multiple Looks
"Now that I've worn them multiple times ---These are cute. They are a bit snug when you try to put them on, but that is regardless of the size. I wouldn't go up a size, you just have to work a little to get them on. Once on they are really comfy and true to size. Love that i can fold down or leave up and scrunch. I've gotten many compliments."

Nice Riding Boot

Cute & Comfy
"I saw these online and loved the look of them. I'm typically always a 9 and all they had in stock was an 8.5. I took a gamble and ordered them anyway. The lower heel allows for a smaller size fit and the fleece lining has been keeping my feet warm. The only downside is that there isn't a zipper and the buckle is mainly for decoration. It's pretty tight getting them on, but hopefully they'll stretch out a little too. Overall, great comfort and they look cute."

The owner of the hotel, Mrs. Meers, has another business on the side. She kidnaps out-of-work actresses who are orphans and sells them in Asia. She has her sights set on kidnapping Millie and Millie's new friend Dorothy, an orphan from California who has come to New York.
Millie finds a job with a handsome and single boss but before doing so she has met a local hustler - Jimmy who could ruin her plans.The play is a romantic comedy that looks back to the time of big dance musicals. The entire cast is made up of 40 students.
Millie is played by Dory Peacock, Dorothy by Katherine DeBry, Jimmy is Jordan Sanders and Millie's boss - Trevor Greydon is played by Scotty Phillips. The evil Mrs. Meers is Kaitlin Potter and her two henchmen - Ching Ho and Bun Foo are played by Ben Partis and Tanner Crawford.

Garnet and Black gains big boosts in mobile conversion and sales via a responsive site.
Bill Siwicki
Garnet and Black Traditions, an e-retailer of University of South Carolina Gamecocks merchandise, could be at the forefront of a trend: Merchants dropping dedicated mobile commerce web sites in favor of responsive web design sites.
An m-commerce site serves only smartphone shoppers. Responsive design uses one set of web content and one code base to create a single site that automatically optimizes on the fly to fit the width of the screen of the device making a page request. A responsive site typically serves shoppers on desktops, tablets and smartphones. Garnet and Black, however, redid its mobile site, m.GarnetAndBlackTraditions.com, using responsive techniques that it can later apply so that a single site will adjust to tablets and personal computers. The e-retailer was more concerned with smartphones of increasingly varying sizes, saving the tablet and desktop work for later. Its conventional e-commerce site, www.GarnetAndBlackTraditions.com, retains its previous design for now.
Garnet and Black's decision to move to responsive design for the mobile site is paying off. The e-retailer launched its responsive site April 18. Prior to that date, the mobile conversion rate was 3.21% and mobile sales accounted for 7.51% of total web sales, the merchant reports. Today, the mobile conversion rate is 5.83% and mobile sales account for 18.2% of total web sales.
"Having a uniform look across all platforms so customers know where they can find things is important," says Chris Boomhower, e-commerce director at Jewelry Warehouse, which operates Garnet and Black Traditions along with Jewelry Warehouse, Tiger Paw Traditions and Palmetto Traditions. "On many smartphone sites, the navigation is vastly different than on the desktop site. For some customers that is difficult to transition to. Having a responsive site allows a customer to feel comfortable across the board on any device and comfortable making a purchase."
One of the major factors driving the Gamecocks merchant's move to responsive design was the previous m-commerce site's inability to respond with a different display when a smartphone shopper tilted her device from portrait mode to landscape mode. The m-commerce site also took more space than was desired to display product descriptions, requiring considerable scrolling by shoppers. And photo size was limited on the m-commerce site; the e-retailer wanted bigger pictures for smartphone shoppers.
The responsive site cured all these ills, displaying web content to fit on a smartphone in portrait or landscape mode and adjusting if a shopper tilts his phone, fitting most product descriptions to one screen, and allowing for larger imagery, Boomhower says.
E-commerce and m-commerce technology provider UniteU Technologies Inc., which built the previous m-commerce site, coded the foundation of the new responsive site using JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets, a mark-up language used to define pages and denote where elements appear on a page. "UniteU built a template and we populated the template with our data," explains Boomhower, whose interest in responsive design was piqued at a UniteU user conference, where it was a featured topic.
UniteU charges around $7,000 to build a mobile-optimized version of a desktop site. The vendor says it costs around $3,000 to transform that version of the site into a site for smartphones that uses responsive design techniques. A full-blown responsive site for desktops, tablets and smartphones costs around $50,000 to build, the vendor says.

Jos Buttler's maiden England 50 from just 21 balls helped Stuart Broad's tourists to a 46-run win over a New Zealand XI in their rearranged opening Twenty20 warm-up match at the Cobham Oval.
- Related Content
A typically inventive and powerful innings from Buttler (57 not out) contained six fours and three sixes as he dominated an unbroken stand of 77 with Eoin Morgan (48no) to help England rack up 186 for three after being put in.
Then after Chris Woakes (three for 27) had taken two wickets with the new ball, the hosts - without the destructive Ross Taylor, who flew home this morning to prepare for the forthcoming Twenty20 internationals - could not get competitive, despite a belligerent 55 from Colin Munro.
The left-handed number five, who made his Test debut in his native South Africa last month, almost matched Buttler with three sixes and three fours in his 28-ball 50.
But he needed more support to push England out of a relative comfort zone and Broad (three for 22) grabbed some minor late glory with a cheap hat-trick off the tail.
The tourists had lost Alex Hales early, driving a length ball to mid-off, and managed only mediocre momentum on the way to 32 for one in the six-over powerplay.
Michael Lumb was also gone before the 50 was up, caught at deep cover in Ian Butler's first over.
Luke Wright counted England's first six, off a Butler slower ball, in the 10th over. But it still appeared harder work for the top order today than it had 24 hours earlier when the hosts got off to such a fine start before rain washed them out.
Wright and Morgan shared a stand of 61 in seven overs until the number three went up the wicket and was stumped when slow left-armer Nick Beard drifted one a little wider.
He had nonetheless helped to pave the way for Buttler and Morgan to take toll of the seamers in the final five overs - and the wicketkeeper-batsman, in particular, did not disappoint.
Former Test bowler Butler suffered most among the New Zealanders once his near namesake from Somerset found his range - with a scoop shot over the wicketkeeper for four, one six over long-off and another crashed off the back foot over long-on in the seamer's final over.
The New Zealand XI reply was soon in disarray, thanks to Woakes who saw off both openers cheaply.
Anton Devcich was caught at point when the Warwickshire medium-pacer got one to pop from just short of a length and a similar delivery to Hamish Rutherford in Woakes' next over resulted in an upper-cut into the hands of third-man.
Tom Latham and Neil Broom hinted at a recovery, only for the former to be run out by a Lumb throw after wandering out of his crease looking for a second into the leg-side deep.
Then Broom missed a low full-toss and was bowled by Jade Dernbach (three for 24).
Munro and Luke Ronchi kept hope alive for the home crowd. But still no partnership of sufficient substance was forthcoming, Woakes returning to have Ronchi pulling a slower short ball into the hands of short fine-leg.
Munro completed his half-century by flicking a Wright full-toss for six but soon afterwards was bowled by some more full-length pace from Dernbach.
His departure settled the issue for sure before Broad turned on the style with his hat-trick in the penultimate over - two caught in the leg-side deep and a third edging behind - as four wickets fell with the total stuck on 136.
England, however, could have been called the winners in any case almost throughout a run chase which was respectable but no more.

There's another Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh now.
The Steelers quarterback and his wife Ashley became the parents of Benjamin Roethlisberger Jr., who weighed in at 7 lbs., 1 oz. late Wednesday night.
IRON STREAK ENDS: Lions' Backus to miss first game of his career
"We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot to us," Roethlisberger announced on his website Thursday morning. "God is so good! We will have pictures to post this weekend. We hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving."
Roethlisberger will need to work on holding his new son with his left arm, as he remains sidelined with a sprained SC joint and rib injury that will keep him out of action for the second straight week. The quarterback told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette back in September that he would miss a game for his son's birth if necessary.

Downtown businesses to soon receive flood assistance
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The Downtown Kingsport Flood Relief Committee will soon begin distributing help to downtown businesses affected by flooding in July.
The Downtown Kingsport Association tells News 5 it received 37 applications for funding assistance to help pay for losses caused by flooding. Those fund requests totaled around $333,000.
The association says that breaks down to about $71,000 for flood clean-up expenses, $159,000 in inventory loss, and $103,000 in restoration costs.
The association says it will not be able to completely cover all of the assistance requests, but all 37 applicants will receive some amount of funding with clean-up costs taking priority.
Checks are expected to be sent out next week.

On many of our hosted sites we sometimes get periods of unavailability or out of memory conditions which trace back to a single user.
Most often in these cases, the user will be performing some long-running process (e.g backup, users upload) and attempts to continue opening things from another browser tab. The new requests get backed up behind the long request waiting to grab a session lock. This can also be triggered by bug, especially infinite loops in code sections with increased time limit.
This results in stuck server processes which may not be freed for hours, and can cause out-of-memory issues if more processes are started to handle other requests.
Over time, it should be a goal to migrate these long processes out of web requests and into background processing but it would be nice to have some kind of catchall to prevent these and bugs from causing site unavailability.
The suggestion is to, where possible, place a time limit on how long Moodle will wait to acquire a session lock before giving up. While this does cause an error to the user, they do not get hung browser windows forever, and the site remains available.
Please see the linked patch for an attempt at doing this for Postgres.

Obviously to do this in core will require additional work for the other databases, if they even support such a mechanism...
Thanks a lot for the report and patch, I have cleaned up the session handler a bit more and fixed other drivers.
To integrators: make sure it works in mssql, sqlsrv and oracle and fix it if not, I do not have a test server for these (my MSDN license expired, sorry). I suppose it is too big for backporting.
oh, I had some problems with Chrome on OSX when testing this, it seemed to do some extra page access logging - weird. It worked 100% for me in Safari for both MySQL and PostgreSQL...
I did not test your patch much because I discovered major issues there while reviewing it - such as different timeout handling in each driver, double errors caused by exceptions in session driver inits, incorrect error reporting, saving of invalid session content, etc. So I fixed all these first and then tested the new code. I always need some time away to see my own bugs, sorry for the trouble...
Hang on a minute, I only touched one driver; that doesn't even make any sense?
oh, I think you mean the rest of the existing code, OK
does this mean this issue has to wait for 2.3 now?
You touched only one driver which was not enough to make it work properly, we must support all drivers and there were other bugs which I had to fix. The Google Chrome trouble is a separate issue, I just wanted to warn the testers that it may behave in a different way than other browsers.
Making changes in session code is always risky, this may be backported to stable branches later, I think it is better to keep it in dev branch until more people test it on real sites with real browsers.
In any case the integrators have to decide if it gets backported and when, luckily it is not my job to do that...
Some comments:
- tiny: https://github.com/skodak/moodle/compare/master...w44_MDL-30026_m22_sessionconnect#L8R27 (say 3, implement 2)
- I'm trying some (1/2 seconds) unittests to check lowlevel get_session_lock() and release_session_lock() work as expected across all DBs, will add it once tested here.
- The Oracle impl seems a bit rough, I think I implemented proper error throwing... in the moodle_locks.get_lock() method, will recheck it.
Hi, I've added 3 commits on top of your branch, doing:
- Added unit tests for get/release_session_lock() + the 2/3mins typo.
- Fixed behavior for mssql, sadly there is one bug somewhere in freetds/php causing scalar results from stored procedures not being returned ok. The implemented workaround solves that.
- Fixed behavior for oracle, the execute call returns false if there is any problem in the execution of get_lock(), so now it's checking for that instead of the timing way.

Right now it is working under mysql/pgsql/mssql/oci. Only sqlsrv requires testing and feedback here. So I'm going to send this to integration, asking specially for sqlsrv testing... thanks and ciao
Integrated, thanks!
Updated test instructions to run unit tests and, also, I've created
MDL-30242 about to backport this to 21_STABLE if everything goes ok along the next weeks.
Hi guys,
I've just tested it now using sqlsrv and have had the following error occur consistently. (Using Server 2008)
Fail: lib/dml/simpletest/testdml.php / ► dml_test / ► test_session_locks

Let me know if there is anything more I can help with otherwise I'll wait for this to come up for testing again.
I'm getting this to me. Has been agreed by Sam and me to keep this integrated (working under 4DBs) and immediately after running upstream, we'll work in a fix for sqlsrv.
As commented, passing this knowing there is some work to do in the sqlsrv side. I'll reopen this in some hours.
Yes, you got this finally upstream, just in time for Moodle 2.2beta. Congrats and thanks!
Reopening this, as commented, to get the sqlsrv implementation fixed, now that the rest have landed upstream.
This has been integrated into master only. Open to more testing!
my tests:
For some reason i couldn't get past test_concurent_transactions() so i skipped that for my setup.
The test_session_locks() is working fine for me on sqlsrv on MSSQL server 2008.
passing this as far as no session/locks issues seen from Eloy's test.
(11:12:58) stronk7: 100% pass mysql and postgresql
(11:13:13) stronk7: 7 problems in mssql (none related with sessions/locks)
(11:13:46) stronk7: 1 problem in oracle (the famous concat one)
(Sam, i saw no problems with sessions/locks too but your (3rd pov) verification would be useful here when you have time.)
And this has landed upstream, just on time for the upcoming new releases week. Thanks for it!
Is session locking on all the time? Since 2.2 I'm seeing "Timed out while waiting for session lock." on all kinds of operations, after everything hangs for some minutes. And this is on a site with one user.
Are these regressions?
I'm going to try turning off database sessions (which are on by default).
That is the new expected behaviour, the session locks have timeout defined in SESSION_ACQUIRE_LOCK_TIMEOUT (by default 2 minutes). If you want longer timeout please define it in your config.php. Alternatively fix the script that executes for long time by closing session manually before starting the slow operations.
Yep, this is the rather unfortunate but intended behavior, otherwise one user brings the system down by holding refresh (fills all server processes).
The only other way I think is to eventually lose the session locks - certainly not safe until everything uses transactions properly and so on. More like a "Moodle 3" feature.
Transaction would not help at all here, the problem is we cache critical information in session, there is no way to remove the locks imo, sorry.
well yeah, there is that too; it should live in a cache, not session of course.
From a user perspective (remember them?) there is something SERIOUSLY wrong if one little test site using MySQL is hanging completely just because one user is switching quickly between pages that use AJAX (such as the course page) on Moodle 2.2.
This was never such a problem before. Cure worse than the disease?
Perhaps database sessions should be default to being off.
When users starts clicking like crazy the http requests should be interrupted and the session locks released immediately. It would be great if you described the exact steps to reproduce this. Why do you think this is related to database sessions? Did you try file bases sessions? (it uses locking too) Did you try Postgresql to rule out mysql drivers problems?
It was pretty random, but one I remember was that I was in the course page, and it was partially loaded and I clicked a link to go to an activity page. Bang. It does seem better now on file-based sessions, problem has not happened again. I don't have an option to use Postgres for this site (and nor would many users).
Is your moodle using persistent connections? Is PHP cgi or apache module?
I will try to work around mysql problems by trying to create new full featured file-based session driver and memcached session driver (so far it looks that MUC abstraction would be unnecessarily complicated by the session locking logic, so it might be better to be separate).
Hi all guys, using moodle 2.3.2+ and PostgreSQL here.
If im logged in and put one of my fingers over the F5 for a few seconds, while im at "moodlesite/my" path. Then database is filled with conections and the request may be interrupted every "F5" pulse, but the database still making the queries necesary for close the session and then unlocking it. This causes a lot of apache threads waiting for the answer of the database and ends on filling memory on front end servers and connection slots on database server.
Even with the acquire_lock_timeout at 5 seconds, connections and request are filled faster speed that released...
Now scale this to a 300 concurrent and 21.000 potential users... and i think it becames on a big: God Luck my friend!
¿Its really necesary to lock the session just for browsing? I mean, i understand to do this on quiz attempts or whatever but just opening "my moodle" page or the course list...
That's exactly right. It also isn't simple to fix at all...
The basic problem is that pretty much all write activity in Moodle does not use proper transactional methods and so is prone to terrible race conditions. This is reduced only by the session lock though some cases can still cause hideous effects visible to other users for example when moving categories it is possible for other users to temporarily see broken context information...
There also is absolutely zero way to identify if a page will be performing this race-prone activity, especially at the time the session is locked so adding special mitigation to certain common pages is error prone.
Moodle really needs to grow up with proper transactional semantics where appropriate to ultimately remove the session lock. Unfortunately an apparent requirement to support 120% broken mysql configurations will likely block this forever.
I have managed to replicate the issue Martin mentioned above reliably.
Moodle 2.6.1+
Chrome Version 33.0.1750.154 m
Firefox 28.0
IE (9, old version intentionally installed)
1) Access course with large amount/number of files in the course, and preferably a huge number of files in the Moodle instance in other courses.
2) Edit a section (type of content is not a problem)
3) Select 'Insert Image' -> 'Find and Upload an Image'
4) Select 'Server Files'. Display files as Tree (IMPORTANT)
5) Before 'server files' loads, select another item such as 'Recent Files' and then 'Upload a File' - clicking either.
6) Depending on the session time out, this will throw the "Session Timeout" error when the timeout is reached.
7) The window is then "frozen", with no ability to select anything on the page - such as close the upload window.
8) Reloading the window then also returns the "Session Timeout" error and the system is not usable until the window is closed and session cookie is lost (as happens when the window closes).
I have video of the issue being replicated if it will help the resolution process.
Hi James,
imo, you may have stumbled upon one of many ways to replicate the issue. Can i suggest the creation of a new issue and within that you copy paste the replication steps. It may turn out to be one of a number of fixes needed to grow moodle towards proper transactions, this way we could create a meta for a better overview plan.

Don't let the photo fool you
"I was shopping online for some NYE shoes and came across this (what seemed to be a) gem. I was excited for the trendy look of this shoe and it was on sale! I ordered the shoes on 12/23, and they did not arrive until 1/4. Needless to say they missed NYE but I thought I may keep them regardless....until I opened the box.You see, originally I had purchased two pair of shoes, one pair of pumps with glitter from another store, also online. When I opened the box, the appearance turned me off first. The silver glitter on the platform and on the heel look like a kindergarten craft project, not to mention that the glitter decorated both my hands and the floor once the shoes came out of the box. I was very disappointed in the 'cheap' look of these shoes and they went straight back to the store.Happy Shopping."

Planning a retro party? These colorful cupcakes, made conveniently with Betty Crocker® cake mix, would be far out!
Be sure to use white or light-colored paper baking cups so you can see the "tie-dyed" colors of the cupcake through the paper.
Try experimenting with different color hues and combinations—pastels for a springtime rainbow or just two colors, such as blue and white or pink and white, for a baby shower.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

When they say a model is on the NIC list, it means that those models are no longer in general distribution (i.e. no longer being shipped out to stores).
But, as far as I know ALL models are still available for purchase thru Reaper directly, even models on the NIC list.
So, for example if you see a model from Warlord that is on the list, you can still purchase said model direct from Reaper, or you can purchase a different model and proxy.

2) Reaper has produced a limited edition model such as reapercon Sophie or the ones they do for charity like Echidnox and the specified time for the figure is up.

The only models that are OOPed are, like cutebutpsycho said, out of licensing or a limited edition. When paint dies, it is OOP as we don't keep old colors in stock anymore once they have sold through.
...what makes a miniature become Out Of Production?
That is why the term NICed was coined. Retailers and individuals can get almost anything we have ever made directly from us. What is displayed in our catalog is what distribution has access to. That way they only have to carry about 500 SKU from a line and not 1400+.
Now, what makes it go NICed?
Dollars and inventory turns.
It is all based from how many we sell measured against how much it made the previous year. Nothing less than a year old gets cut.
We have a vote in and vote out override for some models. If one of us [that is involved with making the decisions] really wants a "bad" model to stay in we can vote it in... or conversely, out.

I think that covers such cases.
We have a vote in and vote out override for some models.

Astral Mauler?
It certainly looks like it would shred it's mold.
My understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, Reaper doesn't produce this bad boy because it was extremely costly to make, kept tearing apart molds as it was being cast.

CORINTH – A preliminary report of the AdvancED school accreditation team recommends the district's accreditation be renewed.
A periodic accreditation review is conducted every five years by AdvancED, formerly known as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Corinth School District has been accredited since the organization's founding in 1919.
School district leaders, including school board members, superintendent, principals and districtwide staff, heard AdvancED's presentation Wednesday. The five-member site visit team included two out-of-state members and three Mississippi members: Lucille Wolfrey, lead evaluator, of Florida; Dr. Becky Terry, associate lead evaluator, of Grenada; Toni Bell of Senatobia; Dr. Cindy Mize of Oxford; and Robert Nielson of Indiana.
"This is a regional and national accrediting agency that economic developers look for when considering doing business in a community to assure the school district meets high educational standards," said Superintendent Lee Childress.
For a year or more the district has been preparing for the site visit by conducting a self-assessment. The site review team seeks to verify the reports.
During the three-day visit the evaluators talked to 129 people, including district-wide leadership, board members, the superintendent, school leadership teams, students and parents, in addition to observing in classrooms.
In addition to reassuring the district that the team would be recommending renewal of accreditation, Wolfrey identified two areas where Childress said the district will be working on improvements: formal advocacy programs for every student and literacy programs to help close the achievement gap for low-performing students.
"While we have partnerships with community agencies and some mentoring programs, we don't have formal programs established to match every child with an adult for advocacy on their behalf and make sure no one falls through the cracks," Childress said.
He said they also will be working to establish a community-wide literacy program to help improve language and reading arts where students are particularly vulnerable in sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
"I want to compliment the entire staff for what we've achieved," he said. "It wouldn't have happened without a collaborative effort by everyone."

Aviation's Tech Refresh: Implications for IWC
By Sam Septembre
This month's Proceedings article titled "Naval Aviation's Transition Starts With Why" by LCDR Guy Snodgrass is a fantastic article laying out the upcoming "tech refresh," so to speak, of naval aviation assets that will soon be fielded, specifically noting a unique philosophical change: the shift from fielding purpose built Cold-War era assets to procuring modular payload-based assets that allow for multi-mission capability, and the flexibility to adapt to new missions. One aspect of his article is particularly noteworthy because it hints of something bigger: the Navy will deliver effects within and across domains. This is important. With aviation principally shifting from purpose-built to multi-mission payload-centric assets, the Navy can explore new and unique ways to deliver effects that otherwise would have been very expensive to implement.
LCDR Snodgrass' article specifically articulates why Navy's mindset has changed, and it suggests that the old mindset of designing platforms will become irrelevant prior to using up the useful life of an asset. This shift resulted in the procurement of assets that can remain relevant throughout their entire lifecycle without major redesigns via a Payload-Centric architecture. This means that with limited redesign of systems, assets can be repurposed. This has led to multi-mission platforms that can adapt to emerging missions.

Edible Peanut Butter Play-Dough
- 1 3/4 cup Peanut Butter, creamy
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 3/4 cup Honey
- 2 cups Dry Milk Powder
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Add the honey, and mix. Fold in the dry milk powder until well blended.
If your play-dough is too soft you will want to add powdered sugar until you get a thicker consistency.
Place in an air-tight container and store in the fridge or freezer until ready to use.
Makes about 10, 1/3 cup servings.
** I would also recommend throwing out any play-dough after it has been "played" with. **
|Wrapped Play-Dough Balls
This time we were making our edible play-dough to be used as party favors for Tatum's class birthday celebration. I wrapped large balls of the play-dough in saran wrap, and tossed them into a ziplock bag filled with goodies (M&M's, pretzels, raisins, and Hershey Kisses). I added a label to the top by folding a piece of scrapbook paper and stapling it into place. "Build-a-Monster" with the contents of this bag! I also included the recipe on the back.
I thought they turned out pretty cute. Tate was excited to share them with her classmates, and they were well received by the group of preschoolers.
Her brother and sister had lots of fun creating monsters with the play-dough I saved for them.

Genoa Flights
Genoa promises tourists excitement far from the usual beaten track. It is a city of surprising contrasts, which reveal themselves bit by bit. A vibrant city by day and night, a cosmopolitan city open to the world, a city proud of its illustrious history, and the ideal destination to sit back and be inspired.
Genoa has always been at the crossroads of civilizations and peoples, the gateway between East and West, between the Mediterranean and Europe, and it offers visitors the most enchanting of scenery. An amphitheater of mountains surrounds the city, holding it in an embrace all the way down to the sea. Whether you are at the bottom gazing upward or at the top looking down on the gulf, the unrivaled views will always take your breath away.
The most important commercial and industrial port in Italy, over the centuries, Genoa has maintained power, wealth and prestige by controlling trade in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Black Sea. Renowned throughout the world for trading, the Genoese were great navigators, and so great was the respect that this sea-faring republic and its fleet enjoyed, that foreign powers and fleets were forced to seek support and protection from the Doge, in exchange for substantial taxes.
A dip into history...
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the city still preserves and boasts many signs of its past splendor, which are just waiting to be discovered both in the historical center and along the Riviera. Majestic palaces bear witness to this splendid past: discover private mansions and institutional headquarters, such as, the Palazzo San Giorgio. A stone's throw from the sea and the old port, this is the historic seat of the Banco di San Giorgio, the oldest bank in the world.
Walking in the historic center, you can't fail to be impressed by the contrast of light and height: the caruggi, the characteristic Genoese alleyways, seem to be even narrower if you look up, where buildings seem almost to touch.
It is wonderful to "get lost" in the maze of caruggi, step inside typical Genoese shops, breathe in the sea breeze mixed with the aromas from inns and restaurants and delight at the rainbow colors of homemade ice creams on show.
And the contrast of the city's colors and lights is reflected extraordinarily on the facades of buildings and churches, another unmistakable trait of art and architecture in Genoa.
Around every corner, you will find monuments of incomparable beauty that never fail to amaze and delight: the cathedral—a masterpiece of Gothic art with its characteristic white and black stone facade, the Doge's Palace—the historic seat of the Doges and today a dynamic center for arts and culture in the city, the Piazza de Ferrari—the symbolic center of the city with its large fountain, San Matteo church, and the famous Teatro Carlo Felice opera house.
Whatever you do, don't forget to take a walk along Via Garibaldi, where you will find the marvelous Palazzi dei Rolli, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2006; these old palaces and mansions were made available to the Republic by the city's nobility to receive visiting royalty and dignitaries.
And nothing can quite beat a seaside stroll along the Corso Italia and a visit to the old mariners' neighborhood of Boccadasse.
The beauty of modernity
Unlike most other Italian cities, Genoa has managed to modernize itself using contemporary architectural solutions and become a sort of capital for modern Italian architecture in the process.
The best-known example is the old port, which was completely renovated for the Colombiadi or Expo 92, the celebrations in honor of Christopher Columbus, and the work in large part of Renzo Piano, a Genoan born and bred.
The airy waterfront offers wide open spaces and pedestrian areas and there is something for everyone with its choice of attractions, events and entertainment. The Genoa Aquarium is definitely the main attraction and with its 2500-square meters of exhibition space, it represents the greatest variety of ecosystems in Europe.
You can visit the new Cetaceans Pavilion, the Grande Nave Blu (big blue ship), famous for its Mediterranean reefs, coral reefs and a reconstruction of a Madagascan rain forest, the Biosphere, a glass and steel structure suspended over the sea with a very delicate ecosystem of plants and animals from the rain forest, and the Isola delle Chiatte, an extraordinary floating viewpoint made from the port's barges.
Still in the old port, among other major attractions for young and old alike, we recommend the Città dei Bambini—a fun science and technology center for children, the De Amicis international children's library, the Pirates' Galleon, the Galata museum of the sea—the largest maritime museum in the Mediterranean, and the Congress Center. In the summer, there is plenty going on at the Arena del Mare, a large and evocative venue for concerts and theatrical performances.
Liguria, such passion!
And there is plenty to see a short distance from Genoa too. You'll be blown away by the beauty of the Cinque Terre, a perfectly preserved natural paradise just waiting to be discovered. Enjoy the delights of the Riviera of Flowers, stopping off at Portofino, the most elegant and secluded spot in Liguria and eventually reaching San Remo, the undisputed city of flowers with its overwhelming riot of color and perfume.
And finally, don't miss the Fiera di Genova exhibition center, which every year hosts the International Boat Show.
The taste of Mediterranean cuisine
Is there anyone who hasn't heard of pesto or of walnut sauce? Genoese cuisine is a classic example of Mediterranean cooking: in Genoa, you can savor traditional authentic flavors in charming settings overlooking the sea and in the immediate hinterland, all washed down by excellent local wines.
And don't leave the area without trying farinata di ceci, a sort of pancake made from chickpea flour, and timeless focaccia bread, particularly tasty and appetizing drizzled with light Ligurian olive oil.
What are you waiting for? Book your Alitalia flight to Genoa and get ready for a dream vacation in beautiful Liguria.

Wednesday of Prodigal Son
The Gospel according to Mark 13:24-31
The Lord said to his disciples, "In those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away before all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."

Very in
"Cut outs seem to be the trend. These roll that with a gladiator feel on the dressy side. The white is more of a natural/ivory color and not a true white. The top of the sandal is a bit more stiff than I would like but - hey - they are stylish and I can live with that. Seems like they will need a bit of break in due to that stiffness."

Most players take a few minutes and maybe a few shots before finding their rhythm.
Riley LaChance is not most players.
Brookfield Central's star junior drilled his first 3-point attempt in the opening minute and didn't cool off until head coach Mark Adams pulled him in the final seconds with a 73-54 regional semifinal victory over visiting Milwaukee Riverside well in hand.
In all, LaChance burned the Tigers for 29 points, including a perfect 10 for 10 from the line that stymied any chance of a Riverside rally.
"I was in a good flow tonight," LaChance said. "I was aggressive from the start, so that got me going and kept me going throughout the whole game. Once (Riverside defenders knew they) had to play me, I was able to dump off to other guys and get them easy looks."
"You could just tell right off the bat he was focused," Adams noted. "It's not often this time of year you get four days to prepare for a team - now that's not going to happen anymore - but we were able to hone in on some things and talk about how important the mental part was going to be, how the little things were going to make a difference, and how important it was to maintain intensity for 32 minutes. There was certainly no let up with Riley at all.
"He's a leader both ways; he speaks and he does it with his actions, too."
The win was doubly sweet for the Lancers, who were bounced from last year's WIAA Division 1 tournament by Riverside, though both rosters have experienced significant turnover since then.
"We got down 15 last year, so we needed to make sure we came out a lot better tonight, and we did," said Adams.
The Tigers scored the game's first two points, but Central countered with 10 unanswered and never relinquished the lead. Working their inside/outside offense to perfection, the Lancers built a 38-22 halftime advantage, with a thunderous alley-oop dunk by Caleb Mortag (from fellow junior Brad Newman) providing the exclamation point.
Riverside (7-14) struggled to get the ball into the paint in the first half against Central's swarming 1-3-1 zone and frequently settled for deep jump shots. Unfortunately for the Tigers, they were as cold from the perimeter as LaChance was hot.
"We wanted to take away their two big guys because that is their strength and make them try to beat us with their weakness, which is outside shooting," Adams said. "The boys followed the game plan superbly."
The Tigers, and specifically junior Nicholas Cobbins (21 points), found their stroke in the second half but could get no closer than within 10 points, as the Lancers nearly matched their first-half output, complete with another power dunk from Mortag in the closing minutes.
Mortag finished with 14 points in addition to consistently disrupting Riverside's offense with his active defense at the top of the key. Elijah Goodman added 13 points and 12 rebounds.
"We have a practice player of the week before every game and (Mortag) had the four best days of practice since he's been in this program, and to be able to take those things he did to earn practice player of the week and then actually do them in a high-caliber game like this… kudos to him," praised Adams.
"We're a good team and, with the way he played tonight, he makes us even better."
Central (20-3) advanced to take on No. 2 seed Milwaukee King, scheduled for 4 p.m. Feb. 23 at Rufus King, with a trip to sectionals on the line. LaChance, for one, didn't sound like he had any intention of letting up.
"We ran our offense very well and executed very well tonight," he said. "But every team we play from here on out will play up-tempo and really try to get in your shorts, so we have to take care of the ball."
