Yale Repertory Theatre's ECLIPSED Continues Through 11/14
The Yale Repertory Theatre presents Danai Gurira's ECLIPSED previews began, October 24th, and the show opened October 29th. The cast features Pascale Armand, Zainab Jah, Adepero Oduye, Stacey Sargeant, and Shona Tucker.
Set in 2003, ECLIPSED unearths the wreckage of Liberia's vicious civil war and celebrates women who navigate the most brutal of circumstances. The "wives" of a rebel commanding officer form a community in a hostile warzone. Their world is transformed by the arrival of two newcomers and the unceremonious return of a former "wife" turned rebel soldier and each woman finds her own means of survival.
Playwright Danai Gurira was born in the US to Zimbabwean parents and raised in Zimbabwe. She co-created and performed in the award-winning two-woman play IN THE CONTINUUM, which premiered Off-Broadway and toured the US (including Yale Rep, 2007) and Southern Africa. For her work on that production, Danai received the 2007 Helen Hayes Award (Best Actress), a 2006 OBIE Award, the 2006 Outer Critics Circle John Gassner Memorial Playwriting Award, and the 2004 Global Tolerance Award (Friends of the United Nations), and was honored by the Theatre Hall of Fame. Her recent acting credits include the film "The Visitor" and Lincoln Center Theater's production of JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE.

This morning I noticed an announcement for an event hosted by Minnesota geocachers to commemorate Surfer Joe's 10,000th published geocache. This is a well-deserved honor for my fellow reviewer to the north, especially when you consider that he's been reviewing for just three years.
This got me to thinking about how many geocaches I have published. In a post last September, I wrote that I had published close to 6,000 geocaches in my 5+ years of reviewing. I don't recall how I arrived at that figure, but upon checking this morning, IowaAdmin has officially published 6,491 caches since the summer of 2005, which is as early as the "published" log type goes back. I probably published an additional 1,000 in the 12 months before that. And for a year prior to creating my "IowaAdmin" I.D., I reviewed geocaches in Iowa and Wisconsin using the I.D. "WGA2". Because WGA2 is now owned by a different reviewer, I don't have an accurate way to know exactly what my total is. My best estimate is that it's now around 8,000 caches.

Can you let us know when you are nearing the big 10,000?
I might have to work with a different reviewer (to hide it from ya ;) ) but I think a bunch of us would be happy to get together and give ya a well deserved "roast" or I mean toast. lol

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
can i for example have a much like conversation with a priest (if i need spiritual guidances, help and hope)
I just need to find out how to say it in Slavonic!
I try everyday to pray morning/eve, read the scriptures and do as best a human being living a christian life. But sometimes you fall, becomesreal scared and realize that you need a push. That time is now. Some of you must think i am fool, but it is better to be honest and clean if you wish to grow spiritually wise.
I am not perfect and will never be. But i hope at least to improve from my mistakes-sins and try avoiding the worst of them and not to repeat them (or at least...improve somehow).
If it helps, I didn't until after Chrismation. My priest seemed to want to ensure I made it through first and then to ensure I did confession properly.

We've noted before how much we love seeing the random searches that have brought people to PackerGeeks, with Larry McCarren's mangled pinky registering at least one new visitor a day. Beautiful.
But this one is a mystery. We can also see which websites have directed traffic our way. And leading the way over the past couple of days? Storknotes.com, "your pregnancy and parenting web station."
Say what?
Someone linked to us from a thread that we can't access, but we're grateful. If anyone can tell us why Storknotes is so interested in PackerGeeks, feel free to share in the comments.
UPDATE: Okay, as I posted this I thought of the likely source. Andy's hilarious post on the process of naming Jermichael Finley.

Dalton DeVos' Delta Remains In Control At International Rolex Regatta, OtterBox® Melges 32 Virgin Islands Sailing Series Event No. 2
23 March 2013
St. Thomas, USVI - Saturday, day two of the 40th Anniversary edition of the International Rolex Regatta, hosted by the St. Thomas Yacht Club proved to be just as challenging as the first, this time not only for the nine participating Melges 32 teams, but also for the Race Committee. Despite the hardships, Dalton DeVos aboard Delta delivered a 1-5-1 daily result to further secure first place overall with seven races now complete and one discard in effect. He sits six points ahead of Jason Carroll's Argo now in second, while Richard Goransson on Inga From Sweden slips back one slot to finish third.
From the moment the teams stepped into the race arena, they could see it was not going to be an easy day. The breeze was funneling in essentially from two directions caused mainly by St. John's Island (which also influenced the fleet decision to do more windward/leeward configurations rather than distance races). The Race Committee put the fleet under immediate postponement, and eventually pulled up anchor from their original position to better accommodate the breeze angle. This enabled them to fire off the first race of the day.
DeVos gave a carbon copy performance winning Race One. Roberto Tomasini Grinover's Robertissima appeared to be somewhat back on track finishing up in second and Ryan DeVos' Volpe took third.
As the Race Committee worked to get the second race underway, the breeze took a huge swing in direction and not in favor of the fleet start. The Race Committee had no other choice but to abandon the race/start and relocate once more in a general offshore direction. Goransson got off the line fast in the 8-10 knots of breeze with a slight chop. He lead the fleet around the track for the win. Carroll hung in to claim second and DeVos' Volpe took third.
For the start of final race of the day, the breeze was still unsettled. But, with a quick reset of the starting line, Race Three produced quite a traffic jam at the committee boat with several leaders getting caught up in the shuffle, Dalton DeVos and Goransson among them. Thanks to some quick thinking by DeVos' tactician Jonathan McKee, the Delta Team immediately found a right side hole at the start, port tacking out for some clean air. This one specific move put DeVos back out front at the top ahead of Tony Buckingham's Ngoni and Carroll. DeVos ran away with the lead, while Buckingham and Carroll battled for second, the two finishing respectively in second and third.
The final day of racing in St. Thomas will be nothing short of spectacular. More great racing is expected on Sunday.
The IM32CA Press Team is excited to be in the USVI and on-the-water updates are expected to occur. Stay close to the Official Melges 32 Blog as the latest news will be published as it happens. Periodic updates will be posted to Facebook.

State uses new system for boat registrations
State uses new system for boat registrations
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Iowa officials are using a new system for organizing boat registrations in the state.
The state Department of Natural Resources says a boat's registration information, title and decals will be on one document.
Registrations will be handled in the county where the boat owner resides.
Nonresidents can register in the county where the boat primarily will be used.
Officials encourage owners to bring in their current registration for a renewal, since it includes information that's needed in the new system. That includes the boat's make, model, model year, hull identification number, length and width.
About 235,000 boats will be registered in April. Registrations are good for three years.

Step aside, 1 percent. It's Mitt Romney's 47 percent that will dominate the presidential campaign from now on. And what a motley crew it is.
The nearly half of the population that is paying no federal income tax today and may receive government benefits has been written off by the GOP candidate, based on a private talk he gave to campaign donors in May. This and other remarks captured on a now-viral video released by Mother Jones illuminate a frightening world view for a presidential nominee and a stark contrast to the philosophies of past Republican presidents.
The remarks were all the more chilling because, Romney says, they were unscripted. This apparently is how he thinks.
Who are the newly infamous 47 percent? Nearly a quarter are retirees — those aging, mostly white, often Republican moochers now on fixed incomes. Many are veterans — notoriously underpaid in the military and then, when they come home from combat, leeching services from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Then there are the working poor, who pay payroll and other federal taxes but make too little to pay the graduated income tax, a system Republican presidents helped to build. Only about 8 percent pay no federal taxes at all, according to a Washington Post analysis — basically the unemployed, the disabled and the very poor.
Many of these folks are part of the Republican base (except, most likely, those shiftless college students frittering away time on engineering degrees). But Romney suggests all 47 percent "believe they are victims." He was insulting his own voters.
This just scrapes the surface of Romney's world view. As if to mock the struggle of Americans born into poverty, he said: "There is a perception, 'Oh, we were born with a silver spoon, he never had to earn anything and so forth.' Frankly, I was born with a silver spoon, which is the greatest gift you can have: which is to get born in America."
Romney was born rich. He went to the best schools, traveled, never had to worry about his next meal. And that's great. Every parent would love to offer those advantages. But it is not the same as a child growing up in East Palo Alto, dodging gunfire and seeing too little of parents working two jobs to get by.
Romney also lobbed a grenade into the Middle East tinderbox, declaring Palestinians have "no interest whatsoever in establishing peace." Along with half of Americans, he writes off the Palestinian people, many of whom work hard for peace, along with many Israelis. He apparently would abdicate the United States' standing to broker compromise, leaving little hope of avoiding all-out war.
There were indications before this that Romney is clueless about average people's lives and inept at foreign policy. But the clarity of the views in this talk has to give all Americans pause. Or at least 47 percent of them.

Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Charles Plosser said on Friday that he expected U.S. unemployment to decline to between 6.8 percent and 7.0 percent by the end of this year, helped by economic growth of around 3 percent in both 2013 and 2014.
Plosser also told reporters on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the American Economic Association that he hoped the U.S. central bank would stop buying bonds if the jobless rate indeed fell at this pace, which would bring the level of unemployment close to the Fed's threshold of 6.5 percent.

"Hopefully, if you're getting that close, you will have stopped asset purchases before you get to 6.5 (percent). Otherwise you have really got another problem on your hands," he said. Data released earlier on Friday showed the U.S. unemployment rate held steady at 7.8 percent in December.

I remember the delight in waking up as a child to the joy of Christmas.
We usually followed the same routine — that is, until my brother and sister, just beyond me in years, thought it silly to get up early and explore in the dark for Christmas treasures.
I would return to my brother, still in bed, and report what I had seen — whetting his appetite to join me and see for himself.
Everything is a kind of ceremony, even living. When I was a youngster, it seemed my family almost always had fried chicken on Sunday. Each Easter I got a pair of shoes. I put on my best clothes for church.
I always slept on the same side of the bed. Once, I woke up facing the wall and thought I was blind.
Much has changed about the neighborhood of my childhood. But the old sycamore tree is still there on 3rd Avenue West. It is enormous. Someone recently suggested we should hold a contest to determine the oldest tree in Henderson County. How we would go about this, I do not know. Certainly the measured circumference of the trunk would be one determining factor. The tree is part of what was once the backyard to the home of the Carpenter family — Billy, Diane, Mary Jean and Kitty Ann.
William Carpenter, the father, was a lawyer and was married to Mary Belle Maxwell Carpenter. He would always whistle when he saw my sister Pat walk by. I think it was his way of boosting her ego at a time when, as an awkward adolescent, she saw only defects. Pat experimented with hair styles and "looks." She would gaze admiringly at movie stars such as Jennifer Jones and Vivien Leigh.
"My nose is too big, and I don't have a chin," she would moan.
Pat rehearsed for the Christmas carols concert at the Methodist church by walking through the house with a lighted candle. She was in the eighth grade. I remember another Christmas when she got an evening dress that months later she would wear to the junior-senior prom. She would hold it in front of her and assume dramatic poses in front of the mirror. I watched.
There were times when she would barricade herself in her bedroom with her friends Dorothy Canipe, Barbara Aiken, Jean Morgan and Nancy Levi. What they talked about I often wondered; but I remember, when it got really "good," Pat would call out to my mother — "Mama, call Tommy!"
Mama would explain that it was "girl talk" and make attempts to distract me: "Did you finish that book you were reading?"
For a while my sister took voice lessons from Elizabeth Mauney. I can still hear her singing — "When at night, I go to sleep … fourteen angels watch do keep."
I remember once a young man telephoned from Germany. I answered the phone. Thinking he was talking to my sister, he began to chat — "What have you been doing?"
My response: "Playing in the creek."
"Well that must have been fun … ." came his puzzled response.
My brother Rick took special pride in details — the way the shrubbery looked, the edging along the sidewalk. He manicured the lawn. I mowed it.
My brother had definite procedures to follow when he washed and waxed the car or polished his shoes. He positioned his socks in the drawer in a certain way and could easily tell if someone had disturbed the order. I remember how he would set the exact time on his watch.
I am often overwhelmed by childhood memories: hot summer nights, windows open to the sounds of summer, childhood games — "Coming, ready or not!"
Sometimes I try to get back to the beginning, the source — where it all began.
It's like rewinding a movie: I am playing with Jane and Sylvia Brown beneath the street light. "Star light, star bright, Won't you grant my wish this night?" A dog barks at some movement in the darkness. It's probably Jef, the Brauers' Doberman pinscher.
We each travel a trail of personal experience, and it is that personal journey that becomes our movie.
Unraveling the pieces of my life
I remember the delight in waking up as a child to the joy of Christmas.

Dangerous floodwaters: Shark washed ashore during Cyclone Debbie
Dangerous floodwaters: Shark washed ashore during Cyclone Debbie
As if the Land Down Under wasn't already wild enough, now it has "Sharknadoes."
In a scene that would have been a good fit for a SyFy channel movie, a 5-foot-long bull shark washed ashore in the town of Ayr in cyclone-ravaged Australia. Queensland Fire and Emergency shared photos of the dead carnivorous fish over Twitter, to go with a warning to "stay out of floodwater."
According to Yahoo News, it's believed the shark may have been stranded as floodwaters came through the area during Cyclone Debbie. Sharks, turtles and barracudas can be found in the nearby Burdekin River.
The cyclone was as harsh on wildlife as it was people. Reports also surfaced of a cockatoo that rescued after being stripped of its features, though it died later.

The Bisons, 92-81 winners over Campbell Monday night, visit ETSU for an Atlantic Sun game in Johnson City. The Bisons are, 10-7, 5-3 and have won two of their last three games. ETSU, winner of its last eight games, is 12-7, 7-1 in the conference.
The game will be televised regionally on CSS-TV.
ETSU holds a 27-10 edge on the Bisons dating back to 1951 when both teams were playing in the NAIA.
"ETSU's starting five is like a Southeastern Conference team," Sanderson said. "They are big and strong and athletic. They can do a lot of things."
Last season the two teams split their games with each losing on its home court. ETSU won 71-69 at Allen Arena and the Bisons came away with an 85-84 overtime win at the ETSU Athletics Center.
"Every game we have with ETSU seems like it comes down to the last possession," Sanderson said. "For years our games have been hotly-contested. We scout each other very well. I don't think this game will be different than any of the other games we have played against them."
The Bisons are led by center Adnan Hodzic with 19.6 points per game and guard Josh Slater with 16.8. They are ranked first and second respectively overall in the A-Sun.
ETSU is led by Mike Smith, fourth overall in the A-Sun, with 15.9 points per game. Also in double figures for ETSU are Micah Williams with 13.5 and Isiah Brown with 10.4.
On the boards the two teams are also pretty evenly matched. Hodzic is second in the conference with 7.9 per game. Brown is third with 7.5 and Smith is fourth with 7.2. Slater is tied for sixth with 6.8.
The Bisons have been working hard to make adjustments both offensively and defensively. Sanderson likes what the Bisons are doing on offense.
"We have to have balance on offense," Sanderson said. "Against Campbell we scored 92 points on 43 shots off of 20 assists and 28 field goals. That is pretty amazing.
"We have to get more of that. And they understand what that is. We have been working on this for the last seven days. I like the direction we are heading."
Sanderson stresses that shot selection is one of the most important aspects of the team. He wants his players to continue to make good choices with their shots.
"We have to turn down good shots to get better shots," Sanderson said. "If you are unselfish that is easy to do."
Defensively, the Bisons have more room for improvement than they do on offense. The Bisons used a combination of man-to-man and zone against Campbell. But this team is different than Bisons' teams of the past.
"We don't have the ability to change a game defensively like we have in the past because of our personnel," Sanderson said. "We have to guard with five guys. Our positioning on the floor defensively is very important.
"We have to understand where the ball is on the floor and where we need to be defensively. If one guy is out of position on a play we could pay."
The road trip continues Sunday afternoon at USC Upstate at 1. The Bisons are back home for the second edition of "The Battle of the Boulevard" against Belmont Tuesday night at Allen Arena.

Pencil skirt in charcoal grey
Added Sep 19, 2010
by helluvaguy
Braunschweig, Ge...
After having some leftovers from the last pair of pants we made, my buddys wife wanted to have the skirt from burdastyle magazine 09/2010 #116 . It's so nice to only need less than a meter for a size 42. While sewing we noticed that it's important, to have a consistent seam allowance, otherwise you end up with a longer front part than back part – which happened to us. We balanced that through a shorter seam allowance at the waistline where the lining was attached. Due to that mistake the seam zipper ended up a bit below the waistline, but besides that, it turned out very well. I was pleasantly surprised, as was my buddy and his wife.
It is so ungrateful to try to photograph fabric in grey, especially in charcoal grey, so forgive me, if the defines contours of the skirt aren't as good visible, as I liked them to be.

I'd like to try this pattern too, so it's good news, that it doesn't eat up a lot of fabric. It looks very pretty on the lady!

A NSW butcher who beat his wife's head with a hammer and stabbed her in the chest has been found not guilty of murder on the grounds of mental illness.
Paul William Mundy, 56, jumped off a bridge at Canberra after he killed his wife, Michele Ann Mundy, in the apartment they shared above his butcher shop at Cowra on February 2 last year.
She suffered severe head injuries and a knife was found embedded in her chest, with a hammer located nearby.
Mundy, who was discovered floating in the Lachlan River later that day, told police he had jumped from the bridge because he "injured Michele".
In a judge-only trial in the Supreme Court in Sydney last week, the court heard Mundy suffered from delusions that his wife was having affairs and "orgies" in his home.
"The evidence of these beliefs and these accusations, and the lack of any basis for such beliefs, is overwhelming," Justice Stephen Rothman said in his judgment handed down last Thursday.
Justice Rothman accepted Mundy suffers from longstanding psychiatric illnesses, including a major depressive disorder and a delusional disorder.
The court heard Mundy had stopped taking his medication some time before the killing.
"Once more, the evidence before the court makes clear that better treatment of the mentally ill is an essential element in dealing with the tragic circumstances that occurred on this occasion," Justice Rothman said.
"The family of the deceased, who are mostly also family of the accused, have suffered a huge loss that cannot be replaced."
Justice Rothman found Mundy not guilty of murder on the grounds of mental illness and ordered that he be detained in a mental health facility until released "by due process of law".

Edward J. Liston's experience in community colleges stretches more than 40 years from coast to coast. Before he was appointed the second president of Rhode Island Junior College in 1978, he served as president of Los Angeles Pierce College, a community college in Woodland Hills, Calif., for five years. He was founding president of Housatonic Community College in Bridgeport, Conn. and has served on the faculty at Jefferson Community College in Watertown, N.Y. and Rockland Community College in Suffern, N.Y.
At the beginning of Liston's tenure as president in 1980, Rhode Island Junior College officially changed its name to Community College of Rhode Island. With the new name came a new mission that expanded the college's offerings of off-campus credit and non-credit courses at satellite locations. To generate revenue for the college, which was at a disadvantage to attract external funding and private gifts, Liston established the nonprofit CCRI Foundation. He also opened up the campuses to use by outside groups to build community support for the college.
Liston oversaw the construction and planning for the urban Providence campus, which opened in 1990. At the end of his presidency, he was laying the groundwork for the future, including a major expansion of the Knight Campus, an addition to the Providence campus and the development of a fourth campus on Aquidneck Island.
In 2000, Liston retired from CCRI and published a book, "Recollections of a Pioneer President" to document the milestones of the college's history. To honor him for his positive impact on CCRI and its graduates, the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education voted to name the Providence campus the Edward J. Liston Campus. He was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 2002.
Liston earned a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York in Albany and a master's degree in business administration from Ball State University. He completed graduate work in economics and higher education at the University of Missouri, Syracuse University, University of Denver, University of Colorado and New York University. He also participated in the Harvard University Institute for the Management of Lifelong Education.

ABS Flanges in Scamland
As the world's most popular and fastest growing piping material, thermoplastics are incomparable when it comes to durability and affordability. They are central to environmentally sound construction that is non-toxic, tough and readily available in Scamland.
Uses of ABS Flanges in Scamland
Thermoplastic piping and fittings can be joined in different ways. The most popular methods are the use of wet cement, threading, heat fusion and flanging. When dissimilar piping systems such as metal/plastic have to be joined, flanges are the ideal choice.
ABS thermoplastics are useful in all manner of commercial and residential piping requirements in Scamland. Premium Plastics is a leading and independent UK supplier of ABS pipes and associated fittings such as valves, flanges and other accessories in Scamland.
Benefits of using ABS Flanges
ABS flanges are perfect for joining dissimilar piping systems for several reasons. They include:
Ideal for dissimilar piping systems
Since ABS flanges are bolted together with a gasket to seal the joint, dissimilar piping systems can such as metal and plastic or ABS and PVC can be easily joined together.
Convenient assembly
Unlike other joining processes, flanges can be easily assembled and disassembled when alterations, refurbishment or repairs to pipe joints are needed. Cement and heat fusion will require the joint to be cut out and a new one installed again. Flanged joints are also ideal for installing piping systems in Scamland in confined areas, where cementing and manoeuvring of large pipes is complicated.
Perfect for large bore pipes in Scamland
Pipes with large diameters of 8" and above are better installed with ABS flanges than cement. The large size of the pipes makes installation with cement difficult and cumbersome.
Quick leak fixes
Majority of ABS flanged joints simply require tightening of bolts or replacing a worn out gasket to fix a leak. This makes fixes easy and less time consuming, unlike cemented joints that require more work.
Easy prefabrication
ABS flanged systems can be easily prefabricated offsite to save time and make onsite installation in Scamland easier.
Premium Plastics ABS Flanges in Scamland
Premium Plastics supplies a wide range of ABS flanges for different piping requirements. They include:
•Stub flange: These range in diameter between 1/2" to 8"
•Full Face Drilled Flanges: BS10 and BS4504 with 4 or 8 holes that range in diameter between 1/2" and 6"
•Full Face Undrilled Flanges 6" in diameter
•Drilled Blank Flanges: BS10, AS 150 and BS4504 with 4 or 8 holes that range in diameter between 1/2" and 8"

Degree earned: Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Environmental ScienceGraduated: May 2013Hometown and current residence: Pittsburgh, Pa.High School: Wake Forest-Rolesville High School in Wake Forest, N.C.College Activities: Completed various independent studiesHobbies/Interests: Studying world cultures and history and enjoying nature and sports
The purpose of the Sycamore Island study was to evaluate the ability of the sycamore trees to adapt in a floodplain. The tree rings were studied to show the environmental and climate histories of the island, how the trees have endured the conditions and what the trees need in order to thrive in the future. The study was conducted for Allegheny Land Trust to help them with their plans for the island's conservation.
I chose Point Park because I am pursuing a career in the environmental field and the University offered an environmental science concentration within its biological sciences degree. Also, I prefer smaller classes and lab sizes in order to get direct teaching and attention from the instructors, and this is something that Point Park provides.
The biology professors are friendly and always ready to help. They welcome interaction in the classrooms and labs, and they try to mold their courses to the students' needs.
I enjoyed conducting the labs in small groups. We learned from each other as well as the instructor, and we had fun while we worked. There were plenty of opportunities to perform our own research and experiments.
I would like to get a job working in an environmental or ecology group, preferably in the consulting industry.

In the first post of this series, I explained the bin-packing problem and established a baseline solution. The second post investigated ways to increase the packing efficiency. In none of these posts did I pay particular attention to performance – and frankly, it shows. Performance of all solutions presented thus far sucks eggs. Time to see what can be done about that.
If you look in detail at the most efficient solution so far (dbo.OrderDesc, as described in the second post of the series), you'll see that all 40,000 registrations are processed one by one, with a cursor. No surprise here, as I've already promised to postpone the set-based solution to a later moment. For each of these 40,000 registrations, the following actions are executed:
· The dbo.Sessions table is queried to find a session for the correct year and quarter that still has enough space left for the current registration.
· When needed, a new session is added to the dbo.Sessions table.
· The registration is updated in the dbo.Registrations table. Well, updating all 40,000 registrations is pretty hard to avoid as the goal is to assign each registration to a session, and as long as the processing is cursor-based, the updates will inevitably come in one by one.
· The chosen session is updated in the dbo.Sessions table to reduce the space left by the size of registration that was just assigned to the session.
Improve indexes
Indexing is one of the most common answers to performance problems. In this case, based on the above summary of actions taken in the loop, it's clear that adding or changing an index on dbo.Registrations won't do much. The update of this table is currently based on the clustered index key, which is the fastest possible way to perform an update. The cursor requires a table scan (to read all rows) and a sort (to order them by year, quarter, and descending number of candidates); the sort can be avoided if the clustered index is on these three columns, but at the price of 40,000 bookmark lookups for the updates – I don't need to run a test to see that this is a bad idea!
The dbo.Sessions table is less clear-cut. The clustered index is on (Year, Quarter, SessionNo), so searching for a session with enough room for a registration currently seeks the clustered index to process only the sessions of a single quarter, but it still has to scan through sessions in the quarter until it finds one with enough space. A nonclustered index on (Year, Quarter, SpaceLeft) will speed up this process, especially since it is covering for the query (the query uses the SessionNo column as well, but that column is included in the nonclustered index as part of the reference to the clustered index key). The downside to this index is that it has to be updated each time the space left in a session changes and each time a session is added. So, the question to answer is whether gained when searching for a session to add a registration to outweighs the performance lost during updates. To find out, I added this index before repeating the tests of dbo.OrderDesc:
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ix_Sessions
ON dbo.Sessions (Year, Quarter, SpaceLeft);
The packing efficiency didn't change. The execution time did change, though – with the index in place, the average execution time of five test runs of dbo.OrderDesc was down to 68,300 ms, a 12.4% improvement over the execution time without the index. Clearly, the extra overhead incurred on the UPDATE statements is less than the savings on the SELECT statements.
Note that I create the index before starting the test. I assume that the index can be added permanently to the database – if the database frequently updates the dbo.Sessions table at other moments, when the bin packing procedure is not executing, it might make more sense to create it at the start of this procedure and remove it when done – and in that case, the time taken for creating and dropping the index (less than 100 ms) should be added in.
For completeness, I also tested the dbo.Order50FirstB version, that proved to be a good trade-off between performance and efficiency in the previous post. This version should of course see a similar performance benefit from the additional index, and indeed it does – the average execution time for dbo.Order50FirstB was down to 68,144 ms after adding the index, a saving of 9.8%.
If you're duplicating the tests on your own server, then don't forget to remove the index – we won't need it in the following step, and the overhead of maintaining it would just waste precious time.
DROP INDEX dbo.Sessions.ix_Sessions;
Do less work …
Saving 12.4% execution time is great – but (of course) not enough to satisfy me! So it's time to take another approach: let's see if I can't find any way to reduce the number of times the dbo.Sessions table is searched and updated. How, you might ask? Well, let's again check how a human would operate. If I have to stow packages in boxes, I'd probably keep adding packages to the same box until I get a package that won't fit. Only when I get a package that doesn't fit the box anymore would I put the box away and open an new box. I have coded the T-SQL equivalent of this method, and called it dbo.FillThenNext (see FillThenNext.sql in the attached ZIP file).
The average execution time for this simple algorithm turned out to be just 39,110 ms, so this saves 42.6% over dbo.OrderDesc with index, or 47.0% over the baseline. But the packing efficiency turns out to be really down the drain with this one:
Quarter NumSessions AvgSessionSize AvgEmptySeats
——- ———– —————- —————-
1 6670 75.364617 16431.800000
2 3548 78.769447 7532.600000
3 8066 75.025787 20144.200000
4 5346 78.283015 11609.900000
A total of 23,630 sessions exceeds the number of sessions required by the baseline by 21.4%, and that of dbo.OrderDesc by 24.9%. What a high price to pay for a speed advantage!
… but do it smart
The reason for this enormous efficiency loss is that I became very wasteful. Suppose that the first registration processed is for 20 persons, and the second for 85. The second can not be combined with the first in a single session, so the algorithm opens a new session – and never again looks at the first session, even though there still are 80 seats left! That is of course a HUGE waste of resources. So I modified the algorithm. I still have a "current" session that I keep adding registrations to as long as I can, but if I find a registration that won't fit I now first search the previous sessions for one with enough empty seats before closing the current session and opening a new one. The code for this version (dbo.FillThenSearch (is in FillThenSearch.sql in the attached ZIP file. And the test results are really awesome! The average execution time is now 45,506 ms (with the nonclustered index back in place – without it, execution time is 50,874 ms), which is of course slightly slower than my previous attempt but still 33.4% faster than dbo.OrderDesc with index, and 38.3% faster than the baseline. But the packing is much better:
Quarter NumSessions AvgSessionSize AvgEmptySeats
——- ———– —————- —————-
1 5399 93.106501 3721.800000
2 2863 97.615787 682.600000
3 6945 87.135781 8934.200000
4 4542 92.140246 3569.900000
This version still doesn't pack as efficient as dbo.OrderDesc (4.4% more sessions) or the baseline (1.5% more sessions) – but saving 33.4% execution time at the price of only 4.4% more sessions sounds like a proposition that deserves serious consideration, unlike the previous attempt!
Revive an old trick
If you have checked the source code, you may have noticed that I have once more removed the extra ordering that I added in the previous installment. I did that on purpose, because this extra ordering
a) decreased performance – I want to increase performance in this part, and
b) is not guaranteed to have the same effects in a different packing algorithm.
But I did not want to end this post without at least testing the effect of adding back in the ordering that proved most efficient in the previous episode, so I re-introduced the sorting by descending number of candidates in dbo.FillThenSearchDesc (FillThenSearchDesc.sql in the ZIP file), and I discovered that this might be the best tradeoff so far – only 2 sessions more than dbo.OrderDesc, at only 48,626 ms (28.6% less than dbo.OrderDesc – with the nonclustered index still in place, of course).
Quarter NumSessions AvgSessionSize AvgEmptySeats
——- ———– —————- —————-
1 5087 98.816984 601.800000
2 2799 99.847802 42.600000
3 6771 89.374981 7194.200000
4 4268 98.055529 829.900000
Best options so far
After having investigated so many different options, it's all too easy to lose track. The table below lists the versions most worth remembering – except for the baseline, I did not include any version for which there was another version that produces less sessions in less time. The remaining sessions are the one you'll have to choose from, making your own trade-off between saving sessions or saving execution time.
Execution time (ms)
Number of sessions
FillThenSearch (with index)
FillThenSearchDesc (with index)
OrderDesc (with index)
Note that I ordered these versions, except the baseline, fastest to slowest (or least efficient to most efficient packer).
This concludes the third part of this series. Though I still have some ideas that might improve the performance of my current cursor-based approach, I'll postpone them and switch gears – next episode, I'll start investigating if these numbers can be beaten by a set-based approach.

Hi Joe,
You mean those covered in your "SQL for smarties"? I checked those out when I tried to answer the usenet post that ultimately resulted in this series of blog post, but they didn't fit the problem – the solutions given in your book all relied on each classroom having a different size, and each class having a different number of students. Allso, none of those solution considered combining two classes in a single class room. (Which makes sense if you are teaching, but changes the problem from bin packing to best fit – a completely different problem, requiring a completely different solution).
In part 5 of this series, I'll present an updated version of the code I originally posted in answer to said usenet post, which is MUCH faster than any of the other alternatives, and yields very acceptable packing efficiency. This code does utiilize a best fit strategy as part of the algorithm. You must be familiar with it, since I once sent you a copy when you asked for material for the third (?) edition of "Smarties", but you ultimately chose not to include it. That's why I'm now writing this series.
Best, Hugo
