FOLKED UP 2 – Great success!
So last night around this time I was on stage playing at my 2nd bi-monthly FOLKED UP night at The Maze, a music venue in the great shire of Nottingham!
FOLKED UP is an event I've started organising to showcase the local acoustic and folk inclined artists I really love from around Nottingham. It's a labour of love and I take a financial risk putting it on – I spend close to £100 each time and make that money back through the door entry fee.
Last night I went through my usual anxiety-induced freak out that I have when doing stuff like this. I was crapping myself that the turnout would be rubbish – thankfully it was quite the opposite! I must say, it can be a bizarre thing putting on your own shows, because the anxious anticipation and pre-gig fear can be horrible, especially so for someone like myself whose anxiety manifests itself physically (barely able to talk, dry mouth, tense throat, acid reflux, sinus problems, you name it!) – but the HUGE sense of accomplishment you get from seeing it all go well and witnessing a busy room of people all having a great time on a week night – that makes it all worth it!
Once I saw that people were in fact turning up, and having a good time too, I started to relax. By the time I got on stage I was really enjoying myself and I felt my set went really well. It's always good when you get off stage having felt like you had fun playing to a great audience.
Other than myself, the young and talented Frankie Rudolf opened the evening brilliantly with his endearing and catchy folk-pop tunes, and after my set the excellent Marc Block and The Breezes delivered a storming set. Finally to close the evening Joshua Keogh enchanted the audience with his excellent songs and voice. I couldn't have asked for a better set of musicians to play at my show, so THANK YOU to everyone who played – you are all awesome! Also thanks once again to The Maze for letting me put it on and just generally being very supportive towards what I do. Lastly, thanks to everyone who came – I hope you all had a good time – everyone I spoke to said they had a great evening, which I was really pleased about
Make sure you get down to Broadway cinema if you're at Branch Out Festival at the end of the month (27th-28th Oct) – I'm still waiting to hear what day and time I'm going to be playing – but hey, I know the venue at least Really looking forward to playing alongside such an excellent line up (check out the website to see who else is playing.) Oh, and it's all FREE too so you have no excuse not to come if you're living in Nottingham or nearby!
- Marc.
FOLKED UP gig review and some annoucements!
Okay, I know once again it's been a while since I've blogged. It's just so hard with running my own business at the moment, as well as being a part time busker AND doing all my musician-y stuff. I've also been very busy with doing my new weekly Youtube videos – it's a lot harder than you'd think to keep up with, especially when you're doing videos with properly recorded and mixed audio and multiple camera shots etc…
…Anyway – some quick announcements first! My cat Betty gave birth to FOUR beautiful kittens 3 weeks ago They are all doing exceptionally well and it's lovely to see how they're all developing and showing different personalities. We haven't named them yet but I have already decided I'm going to keep one, as are my mum and my sister. In fact, I think it's likely that between us we'll keep them all as they are uber cute and awesome!
I've been filming them once or twice every week and I'm going to upload a little document of their growth to Youtube very soon
For now here are some purdy pictures!
Okay – announcement number two! I'm going to be hosting an open mic night and Fellows, Morton and Clayton in Nottingham. The launch night will be taking place on the Friday 21st September 2012 so make sure you're there to check out some awesome local talent – and of course if you're an artist come down and show us your musical skills!
The night will run from 10pm-12pm and there will be a free drink for all performers. I'm very much looking forward to hosting this as I always enjoy going to play at open mics in Nottingham so the opportunity to run my own was one I could not turn down! I'll be setting up a Facebook page and event etc soon so watch this space for more info!
Okay, lastly, a quick review of last night's FOLKED UP gig at The Maze, Nottingham. For those of you who don't know I organised this show myself and so I was working my arse off right up until last minute making sure the night was a success! We had excellent performances from local artists Ali Bonsai and Elena Hargreaves – plus we had Clara Barker from the Isle of Man who came along to play whilst on her UK tour (I'll be supporting her tonight in Leicester at The Musician too.) I headlined the night and really loved playing for everyone. The audience were so attentive and the atmosphere was just right for an acoustic night.
All the artists who played were fantastic, and I'd like to say a HUGE thanks to The Maze for letting me put the night on. Also a BIG BIG thanks goes out to my mum who baked 38 delicious cakes for people to enjoy. We had a table set up with free cakes, sweets and party rings! Gimmicky, I know, but all those little things just help make a night more fun and stand out from being just another week night gig. In total we had nearly 30 people attend, which is a great turn out for a small local gig on a Monday night. I was £6-7 away from breaking even (I had venue hire, sound engineer hire and the cost
of posters and all the food to cover) so that suited me fine. I'm quite happy to lose a little cash if it means I get to enjoy such a wonderful evening and have the opportunity to provide some great entertainment for the public!
That's it from me for now – I'll have some videos of the night up on my Youtube account soon, but for now I'm going to chill, then cook some dinner, and then head off to the Musician in Leicester for tonight's gig!
An announcement – My song 'Fears' to appear in the film 'Sprawl'!
Just a quick one to announce that my song will be included in a scene for the motion picture 'Sprawl' – an independent movie by Trick Candle Productions, starring Michael Madsen and Nicole Fox.
You can find the film's Facebook page here to keep up to date on when the film will be released. I'm very excited to be a part of it and hope you will all check it out upon release
Don't forget I'm playing Glastonbudget Festival this weekend on Sunday 3rd June! I'll also be playing in Nottingham at Antenna bar on the 1st. I'm hoping to be in London on the 4th (still re-arranging a venue after a cancellation though) – might just go and busk there if I can't get a venue sorted? Then I'm hitting Derby at The Friary on the 5th and The Maze back in Nottingham again on the 6th.
Hope you're all enjoying the sunny weather here in the UK (or anywhere else, for that matter!)

The lovely Nouel Riel, modeling rag curls for tomorrow's tutorial.
WELCOME TO SHED'S FIRST OFFICIAL SHOOT! Stay tuned as we post the step-by-step instructions on how to create rag curls, and you too can have hair that looks like it took hours to style with the help of a few old rags.

Client Lori Winston with her soft, end of summer hair.
By popular demand, more wig pics.
Today I cut some Bardot bangs and layered it a little. Then I experimented with braiding the fringe. I've recommended fringe braiding for hot summer days when hair sticks to foreheads and goes all greasy. I now also recommend it for windy days when you're wearing a wig and are concerned someone will notice the unnatural hairline. It works!

Q:Since abortion is a frowned upon thing on this blog, I'll go out on a limb and assume you're also against stem cell research. /Why/? Stem cell research literally turns abortion (if you really need to consider that a "bad thing") into a "good thing"; it could help my father, who has suffered from Parkinson's disease for quite awhile. The reason of, "Stem cell research is wrong because you aren't respecting the lives of the children who died for those cells" is utterly ridiculous and disgusting.
We have no problem with adult stem cell research (which has proven to be more useful than embryonic stem cell research). ESCR kills humans. No research, however good the intention, should not be at the expense of a human life.

60 Reviews
Salsa's on the trail of a local killer, but why has he been shutting Taketo out of his investigation? Taketo wants answers, but he may not like what he learns. (slash!)
Naturally, Salsa's first response after he'd tracked down Taketo had been, "Wolf?! You bastard, what the hell are you doing here?" Ginsei and Taketo both had to tackle him to avert the fight.
Later, after Taketo had calmed him down and explained the situation, "Guess I missed some excitement," Salsa said. "You asshole, cut it out!" he snarled at Wolf, prying apart the jaws that had just closed on his arm. Wolf's response to that made Taketo's ears burn. So maybe "calm" was an overstatement.
Still later, as Karasuma puttered with his equipment, Wolf finally deigned to answer the question everyone had been asking him. "So Takahashi went to some England place," Wolf was saying impatiently. "That old geezer paid for it. He's going to be gone three whole months!"
Taketo exchanged a worried glance with Salsa, both wondering how long Makoto Takahashi was really going to be gone; three was simply the highest number Wolf could count. Takahashi, who as a boy had rescued Wolf from an animal trap, was the only creature Wolf classified as both "friend" and "fun," which meant he was the only one who could exert any influence over Wolf's behavior. Not that Takahashi's sway over Wolf had always been an unqualified benefit, Taketo recalled with a shudder.
"This 'old geezer'," Ginsei interjected, "you don't mean the head of the Abe corporate group?"
"Yeah, that guy," Wolf said, derisive. "Now that Takahashi doesn't belong to him anymore, he makes nice. Stupid -- Takahashi is Wolf's. But Tahakashi's people say they're obligated because the geezer raised him." Gratitude had always been a foreign concept for Wolf, Taketo recalled. But then, Takahashi's life as 'Shouhei Abe', the adopted heir of the Abe family, hadn't been very pleasant, which would have been the blackest mark against Abe-san by Wolf's accounting. "Then Takahashi said Wolf couldn't go to that England and have a good time, too. Huh, like Wolf couldn't take a plane if he wanted."
Everyone stiffened, knowing he meant that literally. Taketo's mind obligingly produced a newscast in which the announcer was stating gravely, "The hijacker's demands have included 'takahashi,' mixed drinks with small umbrellas, and karaoke."
"Takahashi said Wolf had to have lots of fun until he comes back," Wolf griped. "But Wolf gets bored in the woods -- so Wolf decided to go back to work." He stretched, satisfied. "Yeah, the business is pretty exciting, but Wolf's gotta reestablish his credentials first."
Taketo guessed that somewhere in that neighborhood would be a harried shop-owner now dreading Wolf's arrival to collect his fee. Wolf's so-called 'jack of all trades' line had taken on anything entertainingly criminal. Taketo's brain dutifully switched to a new channel, where the host was saying brightly, "Today's Mystery Entrepreneur's interests include robbery, intimidation, extortion, and assassination," with Wolf seizing the microphone to add, "Yeah, kicking ass! Blowing shit up! All the fun stuff!"
He noticed that Salsa was studying Wolf narrowly now. Taketo wished again he could hear more of what Salsa was thinking these days; he could almost feel suspicion radiating off him. Suddenly it dawned on Taketo /why/, and the idea made him feel a little ill as well. "Say, Wolf," Salsa said casually, "how long have you been in town, anyway?"
"Not long," he said, yawning.
Salsa still looked tense. Taketo was glad Karasuma interrupted the conversation at that point.
"First, the good news! I've finished," Karasuma said, waving an arm and bushing off several test tubes in the process. "Whoops!"
As Ginsei rushed over to help Karasuma pick up the floor, Wolf took the opportunity to leap off the table -- or he tried. Taketo had stepped in to take Ginsei's place in the Wolf Restraint Brigade, so he heard Salsa as he leaned over and said lowly, "Listen, you moron. This isn't fun for any of us, but he said he's done prodding at you." In a more grudging tone, he added, "And he's actually a really good vet, and he's got bad enough taste to like /you/. So why don't you just shut up and listen to what he has to say?"
"Huh. Wolf would rather hear whatever it is you aren't saying," Wolf countered.
Salsa hesitated, then said, "It's nothing important. Just forget that I asked."
Wolf harumphed and stuck up his muzzle. But to Taketo's relief, he was no longer putting up a fight, so they gave him a little room.
Adjusting his glasses, Karasuma continued serenely, "Next, the bad news. You've got two problems that are working together to result in a serious case of anemia."
"What's that?" Wolf said. He pushed himself up on his haunches to glare at everyone.
"It's a blood problem," Karasuma told him. "I believe you already had a low-grade form of it, but it was exacerbated by something more recent."
"Like what?" Taketo said, interested. "You said there were two things?"
Karasuma nodded. "Wolf has a blood-borne parasitical infection that's not uncommon with dogs in rural wooded areas, but not something we see a lot in the city." Wolf scowled at the "dogs," but otherwise said nothing.
Taketo knew what Karasuma meant, so he rushed in to change the subject. "Sensei, you mentioned a second --"
"Oh my," Ginsei interrupted, expression concerned. "But wait. What causes it, Kaoru?"
"Well, it's carried by ticks," Karasuma said.
"I see," Ginsei said, smiling gently. Taketo slumped; he could see exactly where this was heading, and he wasn't certain even the promise clubbing was going to be enough.
"Anyway," Salsa said, picking up on Taketo's anxiety, "you said there was something more recent?"
"Right," Karasuma said, "but that's one I'm puzzled about. Wolf has reduced red cells, classic for the hemolytic anemia that results from ingesting onions. But I don't know where he would have --"
"But," Ginsei cut in, "didn't Taketo say that Wolf was picked up by the police over on the west side of town?"
"Uh, yes?" Taketo confirmed, hesitant.
"I see. Kaoru," Ginsei said, "isn't that where Cataloni-san lives?"
"Yes, she has the two little white dogs," Karasuma said. "Yes yes, I've eaten at her restaurant with --"
"Her Italian restaurant, which features garlic and onion special dishes?" Ginsei mused.
Taketo interrupted, "At any rate --"
"With all those trash bins in the alley where some stray dog from the countryside who didn't know any better might gorge himself?" Ginsei continued, his expression saintly.
Salsa leapt to intercept Wolf, even as oblivious Karasuma slapped fist to palm. "Yes, yes," he said, "that could be it!"
"Hmm, yes," Ginsei said gravely, cradling his chin in his palm. Taketo, Salsa, and Wolf all clutched each other and shrank back from his blinding halo of sincerity. "Do correct me if I'm wrong, Kaoru, but won't this require injections? And pills? And a nice, long medicated bath to deal with the vermin?"
Moved beyond words for a moment, Karasuma seized Ginsei's hands in his own. "My, my Ginsei! So intelligent!"
Wolf howled, "He's a sadist!"
After Wolf had finally submitted with ill-grace to a series of injections and an infusion, Ginsei had drifted from the room to "find a lovely floral shampoo."
"Wolf's not staying here," Wolf snapped. "Not. Staying. Wolf's going to Taketo's place. He has a nice smell like Takahashi."
Salsa growled, and Taketo protested quickly, "But Sensei wants to keep you overnight for observation. And, uh, doesn't he . . . uh, smell nice too?"
"Taketo isn't your nice smell," Salsa snarled. "Just stay here, you idiot. You can't even change your form yet."
"We'll be back first thing in the morning," Taketo promised, ignoring Salsa's glare. "Sensei and Ginsei make great do--, uh, wolf food. You'll like it." After Salsa's quiet, sharp reminder to Ginsei that -- in spite of everything else he'd done -- Wolf had once saved Karasuma's life, Taketo thought that Wolf would probably be safe from too much overnight vengeance. Probably. "So how was the park today?" Taketo asked, changing the subject before Wolf or Salsa could launch another volley at the other.
"Same as last week," Salsa said. "Idiots lined up to bother Wild Half about the situation, and give him the heads up about how suspicious their loud neighbors or their nosy in-laws are."
"Those murders," Taketo said.
"They're bringing out the worst in people," Salsa said, frustrated.
"Murders?" Wolf commented brightly. "That sounds fun." Taketo didn't want to know whether Wolf meant the murdering or the investigating -- he really, really didn't want to know.
Salsa leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, staring at the ceiling. "Only one person today showed up to talk about something that wasn't related to those killings. Said there'd been break-ins in an empty shop near her," Salsa said, absently rattling off the location.
"What are you supposed to do about it?" Taketo said. "Hasn't she called the police?"
"They wouldn't be interested either," Salsa said. "She was lying."
"Hunh?" Taketo stared. "Lying about what?"
"That I don't know," Salsa admitted. "I could smell it. When I pressed her to find out more than she'd told me, she got angry and left. Smart move: I wasn't in any position to follow her just then. It bothers me that --"
"Murders," Wolf cut in again, "like humans killing each other."
"Yeah, that would be the usual definition," Salsa said, annoyed.
"Hnn," Wolf said, lifting a hind paw to scratch behind his neck. "Like that guy today."
Taketo and Salsa stared at him. "What guy today?" Salsa said carefully.
"Wha-at? Is that Dog interested in that kind of thing?" Wolf said innocently. "Does he like to see bodies before the police do then?"
"Taketo, is there any silver in this place?" Salsa said. "I might try a little homicide myself."
"Huh," Wolf snorted, amused. He flopped back down on the table, and rested his head on his paws. "Wolf already felt like shit, then Wolf used a lot of seimei-ryoku healing up after that fight. So then that guy flooded the whole block with his damn stupid shrieking feelings. Too strong," he admitted, looking pissed.
"Where?" Salsa and Taketo shouted at the same time.
"Dunno," Wolf said, shrugging. "Ask your loud cop brother where they picked me up. Wolf would say," he paused, considering, "guy was getting killed maybe a block from there. Blood was pretty smelly. Hnn, probably won't have any problem finding it from there, even with a lame dog nose."
"I'll call my brother," Taketo said, darting for the phone.
"Well?" Wolf demanded, smug.
"We'll pick you up very, very early tomorrow," Salsa said grudgingly.
"Could it be," Wolf wondered aloud, "that Dog is thinking Wolf might know even more?"
"Bastard." Shuddering at his huge sacrifice, Salsa said, "I'll give you all my soup bones while you're here."
"Good enough," Wolf said, flicking an ear.

This journey is going to end
This is sad but we have not enough resources to maintain and improve Tweeria, so unfortunately this game will be closed in September 2014.
I want to say thank to everyone for your participation and support. We made Tweeria together and had a nice time =)
Please contact us if you have any ideas how to keep Tweeria alive, want to offer us a partnership or any other kind of cooperation.
Insights and Olympic contest
Heya all!
We would like to share some insights about the mechanic of the messages in your hero's adventure timeline. When you tweet your hero may react in 30 different ways. What would be the action depends on type of your tweet, its content and also on the current game situation.
The simplest actions in the game are:
- Fight against monster (PVE)
- Fight against other player (PVP)
Each action (fight) results either with "win" or "fail".
Win or lose depends on the attack/defence balance, luck and almighty random.
After the processing you may see the message similar to these:
For PVE:
Here as you see, @Tweeria failed to kill Black Panther ;)
And for PVP:
Here @Tweeria failed the fight against @GigCeez.
We construct the timeline messages with special keywords.
The messages above are coded like:
- {player} hit {monster} in the nose critically and monster fled away
- {player} was confused by {party}'s new look and was killed
There are 20 different keywords are used to code the messages.
Well, we are big fans of the different games. Luckily, tomorrow 7th of February 2014 and winter Olympic Games in Sochi will start. Congrats and good luck to your favorite athletes!
And to make this great time even funnier we are pleased to offer small contest to you. Now, when you know the basics how our messages is constructed, why not to to try yourself in this kind of poetry.
OK , just send @tweeria you jokes and gags related to Tweerian Olympics fights using above shown templates.
Please try to:
- Use humorous, not offensive wording
- Stay close both to RPG and Olympic games subjects
- Use keywords {player}, {monster}, {party}
- Feel free to use any Olympic hashtags if you wish
We promise to put favorited messages into the Tweeria so other players could read and share them. After the Olympic games we will award the best authors with Tweeria rare achievements.
Good luck and happy Olympics!
Here we are (Tweeria 2.3.2)
Hi everybody!
We were too slow last 6 month with Tweeria updating and support. Partly because of our laziness :), partly due to other projects we involved.
But the game itself is still alive. We see continuing flow of new Tweerians coming from different countries: USA, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Indonesia etc. All of you are welcome.
Here we want to thank all of our early players who is not fell asleep and still fight against top level bosses. Some of you have already got Tweeria rare achievements. And we are going to grant more.
We would also like to appreciate all the contributions from authorized artists who help us with Tweeria content. We decided to promote your works back in our Twitter and FB page. Many thanks!
Hey all, please like and share those artworks everywhere! It will help us to grow our community and would respect their authors.
So, recently we've updated #Tweeria and fixed several old bugs:
- pagination in the Market now works normally
- player' avatar bug fixed
- some design improvements
Additional features added:
1) Now you may see how much experience you need to next level
2) We started the experiments with adding clickable links into Hero's feed. And we expect you will click them )
More surprises ahead, stay tuned!

Tweeria 2.3 — Authors and Content Update
Heya Tweerians
Today we have released new update for the laziest MMORPG in the world.
Here are two main things in this update:
1) Artists' ratings, portfolio and other things for authors
We have more than 200 authorised artists in Tweeria with a lot of their own artworks. We understood that the game is not only about fighting with monsters, but it's about art and artists as well. We wanted to make Tweeria more interesting for them. So we did:
— We think that our artists need portfolio page with Tweeria artworks and with some social features. So we added this page in the game.
— Also now we introduce global artists rating in the game and we will promote our best artists on the main game page.
For example this is our most popular artist just now.
If you want to add your own art to Tweeria but still not have rights to do it please apply on the site.
2) Content
From the beginning Tweeria was planned as a fun-project and we paid not much attention to licensing issues for on-site art. Later we received a great feedback on copyright from our community and decided to delete illegal artworks because of authors notices. It impacted game virality and traffic hardly, but we found new Tweeria in respect to artist community.
In this release we deleted all unlicensed built-in game art (standard items, spells, achievements and etc) and we replaced it by open license art. So don't be scared by changes in how you loot looks like. It may take time to refresh the network cache before you get on new pics.
Links to artists you can find on this page.
* ) Bugfixes and minor improvements.
For example, we changed a bit items creation mechanism, so now you can create more powerful items on high levels.
Also we have a lot of thoughts about our future and about building unique artist-player relationships and I will write an interesting post about it soon.
Thank you for playing and creating

Tweeria 2.2: Actions Update
Hello, tweerians
We've worked hard since last update to fix bugs and improve Tweeria.
Now we release new big Tweeria update. New in this version:
— We completely redesigned actions and reaction system to your tweets. We added several new types of actions (for example, now you can RT other player and learn something new from him and earn exp). Now there are more than 20 different actions in Tweeria. Try to find it all!
— We added more than 150 new messages templates to improve your last events timelines to add more fun to the game. It was hard work (I think we must invent user generated message system in the near future)
— A lot of bugfixes and improvements (for example, we restored these small info popups on your last events timelines — move your cursor over item or monster name)
We received great feedback from you, a lot of bug reports and questions. Thank you for it. We trying to answer as we can but it sometimes it taking so much time. Sorry for that and try to ask our growing community.
Thank you for your support and welcome to tweeria
Tweeria version 1.1 (UPD)
UPD: We have some technical issues. So we disabled web server now. Parser is still working. We will return in weekend!
We updated Tweeria to version 1.1. There are a lot of major changes in this version. We hope you will like it:
1) New design. We received a lot of feedback and suggestions from our players and we redesigned a lot of pages to improve user experience.
2) Item/spell/artwork's pages and management. Now there is a page for every user created thing. You can comment everything, like it and share it (try to use our item sharing — it so cool)
3) New shop (marketplace). We redesigned it to make it better, added new filters and views.
4) Map and movement. We made a serious changes in the moving mechanics. Learn more here.
5) Dungeons and raids. There are big changes in raid and dungeons systems. Also there is new type of group events — Guild vs. Guild wars.
6) Spell's system was redesigned. No need to write "!" and "!!" to cast spells (read here about spells). Also spell's keyword is must be unique during creation.
7) If you would fight with other player, he will see it on his last events timeline. This is a first part of interactions' mechanism which we're developing.
8) We make some changes in pvp system. Center of the map (The Sore) it is pvp zone. If you enable pvp, your character will go there. In the Sore you will find a lot of enemies to prove your strength. You can fight with others pvp players in others places too, but there will be less pvp players than in the Sore .
Also now you will receive an experience from pvp battles.
9) We wrote a big help.
10) Sleeping. Your character's now can fall asleep due your inactivity.
11) You can change race and class of your character in your settings.
12) Feedback button at the left border of screen. We received a lot of suggestions and it was very hard to clean it up and not lose something. Please, use Feedback button to help us.
13) Performance. We're working to improve performance of Tweeria but we have some restrictions and we're trying to outwit these. We're very happy that a lot of people really likes our game, but our server's cost increasing rapidly. So now we changing our infrastructure and moving to another datacenter.
14) So there is Donate button on the main page. All of this money we will spend on Tweeria infrastructure.
We disabled new content creation and now we're working on authorization of added game art. We will delete a lot of unauthorized or low-quality art which was added previously to improve user experience. We will enable content creation system soon.
And we still looking for artwork's authors. If you are an author of an image and you don't mind placing your art on our website, send them to us. Don't forget to mention your contact details and a reference to your portfolio. We will place your artworks on our game website (with your copyrights and references),
Also we will write new blog post about our future plans and about one important thing soon.
We want to thank these people which help us to release this update:
… and others. Thank you!
Tweerian art wanted!
Heya Tweerians!
We're developing the major Tweeria update and planning to release it very soon. In this update we'll set our focus on significant game aspects and will make first steps to the building a Twitter linked platform for artists and players with respect for rights of both.
At the moment we are working on authorisation of the all game content. Soon we will remove all the game content, with the authors of which we were not able to reach an agreement.
We don't want our players to be affected by these changes; therefore, if you are an author of an image and you don't mind placing your art on our website, if you want thousands of players to see your artworks, send them to us.
It must be your own artwork for any of combination of race (Undead, Elf, Human, Orc, Troll), gender and class (Hunter, Warrior, Mage). Don't forget to mention your contact details and a reference to your portfolio. We will place your artworks on our game website (with your copyrights and references), and heroes of Tweeria will be proud of their look and will share it with their friends.
I believe Tweeria could be better and bigger with these steps. Create your world and be a rockstar!
Our mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Statement on artworks copyright issues
Tweeria was planned as a small, private, non-commercial and mostly experimental project of twitter-based RPG. Frankly speaking, we did not expect the popularity that we experience now. No wonder, there are some questions on the copyright to artworks we use in the game. Please be assured that we do not want to violate copyright and we greatly respect any kind of art.
Our statement:
1. We stopped accepting users' artworks and we will not accept them until we introduce a new way to verify the authorship of the artworks.
2. If you are an author of the artwork and you did not give a permission to use your picture, we will remove it from our website on demand. Also, let us know if you do not mind using it in the game.
3. There will be a new moderation system in the next release this month, including verification of source references.
4. We are going to work closely with an art community. Maybe together we can create a nice gaming and social platform both for players and artists.
So if you would like us to delete your art from our website or share your art on our website, please don't hesitate to contact us on email@example.com.
We apologize to our players for some limitations on our website and possible removing of the artworks you uploaded.
You need only a twitter account (private or public)
No. You may have a private linked account to play Tweeria

A proposed bill would allow bar-goers in Michigan to stay out and indulge just a little bit longer.
Bars and restaurants in central business districts could pay the state to extend their last call to 4 AM.
Bar owners would have to purchase an after-hours permit.
That would cost $10,000 a year.
While the bill aims to increase alcohol sales, local bar owners say it will cost them more in wages, utilities, and upkeep.
Police say if bars were to extend their hours, they would have to reallocate staff to ensure people leaving the bars that early in the morning were being safe.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuelan lawmakers have granted
President Hugo Chavez broad powers to rule by decree, undermining
the clout of a new congress that takes office next month with a
bigger opposition bloc.
The leftist leader's opponents have condemned the move as a
power grab, saying the law will be a blank check for Chavez to rule
without consulting lawmakers. Chavez has defended it by saying he
will use the power to decree laws to speed up the response to
deadly floods and landslides.
The decree powers approved Friday by the National Assembly will
be in effect for 18 months.

When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth.posted by aqhong at 12:18 AM on May 9, 2008 [2 favorites]

"Shit," says Anton Newcombe. "This place looks like a dump." He wobbles on his roller skates, adjusting his sunglasses. "I can't see a goddamn thing."
The Olsen twins, looking like two small blind monkeys in their over-sized shades, also look perplexed.
"Well, this is what happens when you burn our dinner to a crisp," says Virginia Woolf.
The dinner party had gone awry—worse than what they bargained for. Virginia shakes the pockets of her long dress, which are filled with rocks she collected along the way. The noise sets Anton off balance, and he falls for the third time that night, skates in the air. The floor is wooden and the sound of the fall reverberates throughout the empty bar. A jukebox glows in a lonely corner and a man in a bowler hat sits slumped on a stool. With a crackle, a Hank Williams song begins to softly play. The slumped man starts humming a different song, his voice a low rumble like a subway approaching underground.
"Ew," says an Olsen twin. "This place is gross."
"Let's get a seat," says Virginia.
No one is behind the bar. Crawling up onto a stool, Anton takes off his sunglasses.
"Where's my fucking beer?" he asks.
The Olsen twins settle into a single seat. They each contemplate removing their enormous sunglasses but keep glancing at one another, waiting for the other to act first. Virginia scours the area behind the bar for the bartender. She shakes the rocks in her pockets.
Anton begins banging his fists on the counter. It starts out as a monotonous single beat but gets more complex as he adds another hand, then the soles of his skates, the wheels rattling against the bars of the stool. The Olsen twins vaguely nod their heads along like bobble heads on a dashboard.
A man rises up from the floor behind the bar. He shakes his head and pinches his grizzled face. He looks absently at the people sitting at the bar and lights up a crooked cigarette.
"What the fuck to you want?" he asks.
"Scotch," says Virginia. "No ice."
The Olsen twins stare, their mouths agape as if they're waiting for something to fly in. The man hands Virginia her drink.
"Anything else?" he grunts. On his stained t-shirt is a photograph of his own haggard face. Underneath it reads: BUKOWSKI.
"I'll have another," says Virginia, who swung back her first just as it touched her long white fingertips.
"Don't drown," says Anton.
The humming man in the corner falls off his stool and Bukowski laughs a deep gravelly laugh. The Olsen twins blink their wide eyes, slow and calm, as if seeing the world for the first time.

The thing you have been dreading for two years happens and then you don't die, the world does not end, you breathe in and out and think, "Ok, then. It happened. What's next?"
You wake sweating in the night, thinking, "I shall never be a published/produced writer; I shall gain no recognition for my work; I shall die in obscurity." But then you ask yourself, "Does that mean I want to quit writing?" And the answer is always 'No', so you get up and go back to work.
You download an album and get stuck on one song, which you play over and over, but still declare the album in it's entirety a revelation. Which it probably is — you will probably discover several months from now that you were right all along.
You spend the day collecting things you want to tell him, but he's out of reach. He IMs you at 1AM Eastern Standard Time to tell you he pooped in the Middle East for the first time in his life, and you laugh. You forget everything you wanted to tell him. You resolve to write it down and send it in the care package you're putting together, but by morning it's gone. You stick a notebook between the box spring and the bedframe so you never miss an idea.
And by "you" I, of course, mean "me".

Spring to early fall are good travel times. You can catch the Folk Festival in May and the classical music festival, the St. Magnus Festival with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies in June. Throughout the summer, there are local traditional festivals from Stromness Shopping Week in July complete with neighborhhod created topical floats and a crowned "shopping queen" to the range of local county shows culminating in August with the major county fair complete with dog and sheep trials and the judging of the best bull. September there is an extraordinary week of Science based events. Oh, I forgot the beer festival is also in August. So pick away!! Oh..this year in May, there is a Homecoming Festival to encourage relatives from North America, which includes many First Peoples to return to their roots.

In a recent email exchange, Meuon mentioned that in many third world countries the cell phone is the preferred payment mechanism because cell phone providers are more trustworthy than banks.
The U.S. Military switched to paying the Afghan National Police with cell phone transfers rather than through the Afghanistan government hierarchy resulted in employees thinking they'd gotten a 30% raise because they were suddenly getting all the money they were due, rather than with a large portion being chiseled off by corruption and graft.

So here's a pic of a pasty I made this weekend after returning from Lake Au Train, a beautiful community near the Lake Superior shoreline. Everytime I come back from da Yoop, I get a hankerin and I just have to make a batch. BUT...it's a lot of work and sometimes after a long day at the office (ya right) I want to plant my face into one without having to go through all the work of preparing the dough, potatos, onion, ground beef, ground pork, rutabega AND the batch of beef gravy that Tammy likes on hers.
I NEVER in a million years even considered just buying one from the grocery store, that would simply be a mortal sin for this pasty spoiled Yooper. Tammy, on the other hand decided it would be too time consuming to make a batch of homemade ones so...I GAVE IN!
I still can't believe it but Festival's Pasties are some of the best I've eaten and for this traditional pasty eating Yooper Boy to admit such a thing...well, it's almost embarrasing! We've gone back several times now almost hoping that we'd get a bad batch, so I could convince everyone at the radio station that a GREAT pasty could only come from the U.P. but alas, they're delicious everytime I sink my teeth into one.
I'm thinking about spreading a rumor that Festival Foods has a private plane that flys in Mrs. Eleanor Hintula from Negaunee, to train the kitchen staff on the proper techniques of creating the perfect pasty. Ya, that's it. People will believe that right? Right???

This document describes how valiation works in Stripes, how you specify validations, and how ActionBeans interact with validation. It includes the following sections:
- Overview
- Validation Error Classes
- Annotation Driven Validation
- @Validate(field="...")
- @Validate(required=true/false)
- @Validate(minlength=##)
- @Validate(maxlength=##)
- @Validate(minvalue=##)
- @Validate(maxvalue=##)
- @Validate(mask=".*")
- @Validate(converter=PercentageTypeConverter.class)
- Type Conversion
- BooleanTypeConverter
- DateTypeConverter
- EmailTypeConverter
- EnumeratedTypeConverter
- Number TypeConverters
- PercentageTypeConverter
- Custom Validation
- Performing Validation in Handler Methods
- Selectively Disabling Validation
- Changing Validation Outcomes
Validation is conceptually broken into three areas in Stripes:
- Annotation Driven Validation
- Type Converstion
- Custom Validation
Annotation Driven Validation is named thusly because the way the validation rules are specified is through annotations in the ActionBean. These Validations apply to single fields in the form/ActionBean, encapsulate common and often used validations. Unfortunately due to the lack of inheritance in annotations, it is not possible to extend annotation driven validations.
Type Conversion is the process of converting a single form field input from the String value in the HttpServletRequest into a Java object (of any Class, including String). Type conversion is a core part of the validation process, and is easy to extend to new of custom types.
Custom Validation is the name given to the validation performed by implementing the Validatable interface in an ActionBean. The interface contains a single method, validate() which gives the ActionBean a chance to execute arbitrary validation code and provide error messages to be displayed.
Validation Processing Flow
Given the different kinds of validation on offer, one might ask how they are applied, and what happens when errors are produced at any stage. The following is the general flow:
- Required field validation is run first
- For fields that have no errors after required field validation
- Perform minimum/maximum length and mask validations
- If the field still has no errors, convert the type and bind the property to the ActionBean
- If there are still no errors, run custom validation (if it exists)
This strategy is designed to catch the largest possible number of validation errors possible in a single pass. Thus if the user forgets to enter one value, and mis-types another, they will be presented with both errors the first time they submit the form - but they will not be presented with any additional (e.g. minimum length violation) errors for the field that was required by not supplied. Lastly it should be noted that the reason custom validation is run only when other validations succeed is so that it can rely on the ActionBean being in a well defined. This is, however, configurable (see the Configuration Reference).
As we will see in the sections [Selectively Disabling Validation] and [Changing Validation Outcomes] this is not the whole story, but it's good enough for now.
Validation Error Classes
Before we go much further, a quick tour of the different validation error classes is in order. We'll be seeing a lot about validation errors in the next few sections, so it is worthwhile to understand the different types available, and how they are used.
ValidationError is an interface that specifies the methods that all validation error types must support. This makes it easy to have multiple different error classes that offer different functionality. It also means that you can write your own error classes easily if you are not satisfied with the ones that Stripes supplies (hopefully that won't be the case).
SimpleError is, as it says, a simple implementation or ValidationError. It allows a hard-coded message (or one supplied at construction time) to be used, and provides the ability to insert the name and value of the field (and other arbitrary bits of information) into the message.
LocalizableError extends SimpleError with the capability to look up the error message in an external resource bundle. The name of the bundle can be configured - to do this take a look at the Configuration Reference.
ScopedLocalizableError extends LocalizableError and provides the ability to perform "scoped searches" for an error message. In reality this just means looking for error messages in the resource bundle with names corresponding to:
- actionPath.fieldName.errorName
- actionPath.errorName
- defaultScope.errorName
In the descriptions below you will see reference to "default scope" and "error name", which refer to how a ScopedLocalizableError is found. All the built in validations in Stripes use ScopedLocalizableError, so that you can specify fairly generic messages at a high level and override them as you see fit.
All of the error messages in Stripes use java.text.MessageFormat which allows you to provide parameters to be merged in to the message. The first two parameters (0 and 1 respectively) are always the field name and field value respectively. An example follows, but check the individual error class javadocs, and the javadoc for MessageFormat for more details:
myCustomError={0} must be formatted mm/dd/yy. {1} is not a valid date.
Annotation Driven Validation
There are two annotations for adding validations to fields. The @Validate annotation is used to specify validations for scalar or simple properties within an ActionBean. The @ValidateNestedProperties annotation is used to aggregate one or more @Validate annotations in order to specify validations for nested properties of complex types. The annotations can be attached to either the getter or setter methods on the ActionBean. They can also be attached directly to the properties (even private ones).
Each @Validate can specify multiple validations for a single property. The following example demonstrates how to use the annotations:
@Validate(required=true, minlength=5, maxlength=25) private int age; // annotated right on the field @ValidateNestedProperties({ @Validate(field="line1", required=true, minlength=5, maxlength=50), @Validate(field="line2", minlength=5, maxlength=50), @Validate(field="zip", required=true, mask="\\d{5}(-\\d{4})?") }) public Address getAddress() { ... }
The following sections walk through the syntax of each validation that can be specified with the @Validate annotation.
The field property is used only when the @Validate annotation is nested within a @ValidateNestedProperties annotation. It is used to specify the property of the complex type to which the validation applies.
Specifies whether or not the annotated field is required when the form is submitted. Defaults to false (so it's never necessary to write required=false even though you can). If a required field is not supplied a single error is generated. The "default scope" is specified as validation.required and the error name is valueNotPresent. This results in an attempt to find error messages in the resource bundle with the following keys:
- actionPath.fieldName.valueNotPresent
- actionPath.valueNotPresent
- validation.required.valueNotPresent
Species the minimum length that the pre-conversion String must be. For example you might specify that a password field must have a minimum length of 6. Doing so would require the password to be six characters in length or greater. If a field fails the minimum length test a single validation error is generated. The default scope is validation.minlength and the error name is valueTooShort. This results in an attempt to find error messages in the resource bundle with the following keys:
- actionPath.fieldName.valueTooShort
- actionPath.valueTooShort
- validation.minlength.valueTooShort
The error message is supplied with an additional parameter (which can be used as {2} in the message text) which is the minimum length constraint that was violated - e.g. 6 in the example above.
Species the maximum length that the pre-conversion String may be. For example you might specify that a username field may have a maximum length of 25. Doing so would require the username to be twenty-five characters in length or less. If a field fails the maximum length test a single validation error is generated. The default scope is validation.maxlength and the error name is valueTooLong. This results in an attempt to find error messages in the resource bundle with the following keys:
- actionPath.fieldName.valueTooLong
- actionPath.valueTooLong
- validation.maxlength.valueTooLong
The error message is supplied with an additional parameter (which can be used as {2} in the message text) which is the maximum length constraint that was violated - e.g. 25 in the example above.
Species the minimum value for a numeric type (after it has been converted to a number). For example you might specify an age field has a minvalue of 0 to enforce non-negative ages! If a field fails the minimum value test a single validation error is generated. The default scope is validation.minvalue and the error name is valueBelowMinimum. This results in an attempt to find error messages in the resource bundle with the following keys:
- actionPath.fieldName.valueBelowMinimum
- actionPath.valueBelowMinimum
- validation.minvalue.valueBelowMinimum
The error message is supplied with an additional parameter (which can be used as {2} in the message text) which is the minimum value constraint that was violated - e.g. 0 in the example above.
Species the maximum value for a numeric type (after it has been converted to a number). If a field fails the maximum value test a single validation error is generated. The default scope is validation.maxvalue and the error name is valueAboveMaximum. This results in an attempt to find error messages in the resource bundle with the following keys:
- actionPath.fieldName.valueAboveMaximum
- actionPath.valueAboveMaximum
- validation.maxvalue.valueAboveMaximum
The error message is supplied with an additional parameter (which can be used as {2} in the message text) which is the maximum value constraint that was violated.
Specifies a regular expression that the user's input must match. The mask is compiled using java.util.regex.Pattern - if you are not familiar with regular expressions, the documentation for the Pattern class provides a good introduction to the syntax. The entire String submitted must match the mask/pattern supplied, as specified by Pattern.matcher(input).matches().
If the input does not match the mask, a single validation error is output with the default scope validation.mask and the error name valueDoesNotMatch. This results in an attempt to find error messages in the resource bundle with the following keys:
- actionPath.fieldName.valueDoesNotMatch
- actionPath.valueDoesNotMatch
- validation.mask.valueDoesNotMatch
Specifies the TypeConverter that should be used to convert this field. This is not usually necessary as in most cases Stripes will use the right converter for the target type. Two common cases where this is useful are:
- When you are using formats that modify the meaning of the data. E.g. formatting numbers as percentages causes 0.95 to be written as 95%. Using the default Double/Float type converter in this case would result in the value being multipled by 100 every time the user edited the value. In this case you could tell Stripes to use the PercentageTypeConverter which does the right thing.
- When you are converting to custom types, and have decided not to write your own (very simple) TypeConverterFactory. More on this in the next section.
Since this is not strictly a validation, but a way of modifying the type conversion, it does not produce any error messages.
Type Conversion
Type conversion is quite simply the process of converting the String parameters that are supplied in the HttpServletRequest into the types of the corresponding ActionBean properties. The TypeConverter interface specifies how Stripes will interact with classes that perform type conversion. There are type converters in Stripes for most common types in Java, and adding support for additional types is as easy as coding up a new TypeConverter.
Stripes gets to know about TypeConverters in one of two ways. If an @Validate annotation specifes a converter then that converter will be used, no questions asked. Otherwise Stripes will ask the configured TypeConverterFactory to supply the appropriate TypeConverter for the type being converted to. Extending the DefaultTypeConverterFactory is fairly straight-forward. See the Configuration Reference for details on how to configure Stripes to use your custom TypeConverterFactory implementation.
The following sections document the errors produced by the individual type converters used in Stripes.
The BooleanTypeConverter determines that a value is "true" if it matches (ignoring case) any of the values "true", "t", "yes", "y" or "on" or if the value can be parsed as a number and does not equal zero.
Please note that Stripes does not convert and bind parameters submitted in the request with the value "" (empty string). So while you might think that "" would convert to false, in fact conversion is never run, so the value on your ActionBean will be whatever default value is assigned to the property.
Since any String can be converted to a boolean (either false or true), no validation errors are produced.
The DateTypeConverter employs a number of techniques to get the input to parse as a java.util.Date. If the input cannot be parsed into a Date then a single validation error is produced. The default scope is converter.date and the error name is invalidDate.
The EmailTypeConverter, strictly speaking is not a type converter. It uses JavaMail to parse the String and return a well formatted email address as a String.
A single validation error is produced if the address cannot be parsed. The default scope is converter.email and the error name is invalidEmail.
The EnumeratedTypeConverter converts Strings representing the names of enumerated type values, back into an instance of the enumerated type. If the value supplied does not match any of the values of the target enumerated type, a single validation error is produced. The default scope is converter.enum and the error name is notAnEnumeratedValue.
Number TypeConverters
Stripes supplied a set of converters for converting to the Java numeric types: byte, short, int, long, float, double and their corresponding wrapper types as well as BigDecimal and BigInteger. They all operate similarly (using one or more java.text.NumberFormats). The converters make a best effort to parse a String as a number. They can handle the following without any additional effort:
- additional white space
- currency and non-currency numbers
- use of the minus sign and parentheses to indicate negation
- use of grouping characters and decimals (obviously)
The number TypeConverters produce two types of error. The first error is common to all the number TypeConverters; it is generated when the String is not parsable as a number. The default scope is converter.number and the error name is invalidNumber.
The second error is named differently for each number TypeConverter, but means the same; it is generated when the supplied number is out of the range for the target type. The default scope is converter.[byte|short|integer|float] and the error name is outOfRange. For all outOfRange errors two additional parameters ({2} and {3}) are supplied to the error message. The parameters are the minimum and maximum allowable values for the type being converted to, e.g. Integer.MIN_VALUE and Integer.MAX_VALUE.
The PercentageTypeConverter converts numbers displayed as percentages (e.g. 95%) into decimal numbers (e.g. 0.95). It requires that the target type is either float, double (or the wrapper types) or BigDecimal. It produces the same error as other number classes, with a default scope of converter.number and the error name invalidNumber.
Custom Validation
Custom validation refers to the execution of arbitrary, custom, validation logic within the ActionBean. ActionBean classes may optionally implement Validatable. The interface specifies a single method, validate(ValidationErrors errors). If the ActionBean implements Validatable then the validate() method will be invoked after all other validations have been run and all values have been converted and bound to the ActionBean.
By default validate() will not be invoked if preceeding validations resulted in errors. Since the ActionBean will be fully populated when validate() is called it may refer to any property of the ActionBean, or through the ActionBeanContext access values in the HttpServletRequest (though hopefully this will not be common since it makes the ActionBean less testable).
It is possible to configure Stripes to always invoke the validate() method if it exists, regardless of whether or not validation errors exist. To do this refer to the Configuration Reference. Note that by doing this you are no longer guaranteed that all required fields have been supplied or that type conversions and binding succeeded before validate() is called.
The validate() method is passed an instance of ValidationErrors to which errors should be added. Any error class that implements ValidationError may be added. If the ValidationErrors object is not empty when validate() returns, the user will be sent back to the originating page and presented with the errors.
Performing Validation in Handler Methods
Sometimes it's just not possible (or reasonable) to validate absolutely everything up front in the validate() method. Maybe you don't have all the data you need, maybe you won't know if something really is valid until you try and do it! For example, you might not be able to validate that a withdrawal from a bank account is valid until you do it due to concurrency issues (what if two threads check a $100 balance then allow $75 withdrawals?).
In these situations you can create validation errors in your handler method, and send the user back to the page they came from (or elsewhere if you choose). The following is an example:
public Resolution withdrawFunds() {
catch (InsufficientBalanceException ibe)
Selectively Disabling Validation
Often is it desirable to have validation run for one or more events in an ActionBean, but not for others. For example the "save" method might require validation, as might the "add" method. But the "prepopulate" method might not.
Stripes uses the @DontValidate annotation to achieve this. Any handler method that is annotated with @DontValidate will be invoked directly skipping validation. Type conversion and binding are still executed, and may produce validation errors. However, it is expected that in most (all?) cases the @DontValidate annotation will be used with events whose only input is not user-input (e.g. hidden fields, select lists etc.).
Changing Validation Outcomes
There are times when even the most flexible system cannot give you everything, and you want to manage the validation process at a more detailed level. You can do this by implementing the ValidationErrorHandler interface in your ActionBean. The interface defines a single method handleValidationErrors(ValidationErrors errors) that is invoked when validation fails, but before determining what to do next.
The ActionBean can manipulate the ValidationErrors in any way it sees fit and the changes will be taken into account before proceeding. If all errors are cleared out, it will be as if they never existed! The ActionBean can also use this opportunity to undo any side-affects that might be caused by the binding process if necessary, or to substitute a different Resolution. Check out the ValidationErrorHandler javadoc for more information.

Foreign-Exchange Risk
Definition of 'Foreign-Exchange Risk'
1. The risk of an investment's value changing due to changes in currency exchange rates.
2. The risk that an investor will have to close out a long or short position in a foreign currency at a loss due to an adverse movement in exchange rates. Also known as "currency risk" or "exchange-rate risk".
Investopedia explains 'Foreign-Exchange Risk'
This risk usually affects businesses that export and/or import, but it can also affect investors making international investments. For example, if money must be converted to another currency to make a certain investment, then any changes in the currency exchange rate will cause that investment's value to either decrease or increase when the investment is sold and converted back into the original currency.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwire) -- 01/25/13 -- Network Instruments, a worldwide leader in network and application performance monitoring, today announced the company's total revenue grew to record-levels, increasing by 11 percent over 2011. The company achieved double-digit growth chiefly by addressing the needs of Global 2000 organizations for performance monitoring solutions -- providing comprehensive unified communications (UC) coverage with in-depth and contextual monitoring of complex multi-tiered applications.
"Our performance monitoring innovations and ability to deliver solutions that lower overall total cost of ownership have fueled our consistently strong growth rate," said Douglas Smith CEO, president, and co-founder of Network Instruments. "We offer deeper analysis and a more streamlined troubleshooting process that yield immediate and actionable resolutions. With our ability to provide unified performance views from the application to infrastructure, we're adding more than one new customer every day."
Growth-Driving Trends
Significant growth has been achieved by addressing the needs of network teams to monitor complex applications with in-depth visibility and analysis for fast issue resolution.
"Organizations that do not have full application performance monitoring capabilities reported their IT staffs spent an average of 46.2 hours each month in war-room meetings," said Bojan Simic, president and principal analyst for TRAC Research. "Utilizing application-aware network performance monitoring solutions like the Observer platform offer a cost-effective way to immediately slash troubleshooting times, optimize service availability, and ensure a positive user experience."
A great example of in-depth transaction analysis contributing to revenues can be seen in the number of IT teams utilizing the Observer platform for assessing the performance of VoIP and videoconferencing platforms.
"UC monitoring and management solutions like the Network Instruments Observer platform are in demand because they leverage deep-packet inspection combined with detailed analysis and correlated infrastructure viewpoints," said Jim Frey, managing research director of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). "Such comprehensive views of the complete communication and services platform in full context of the shared delivery infrastructure are of great value for assuring success across the entire lifecycle of UC, from planning to piloting to operations monitoring and troubleshooting."
Performance Innovations
Network Instruments has been a long-time leader in delivering performance monitoring solutions that unify Layer 4-7 application management with underlying network and infrastructure health. This was demonstrated through multiple industry-leading achievements in 2012:
- First 40 Gb Data Center Monitoring Platform: Network Instruments' hardware and software interface was the first to capture and analyze full-duplex 40 Gb. Coupled with the GigaStor retrospective network analysis appliance, IT teams are able to store up to 5 PB of traffic to manage performance on critical 40 Gb links.
- Mobile Carrier Market Expansion: The Observer platform expanded its Internet Protocol (IP) Expert Analysis into the mobile market, offering end-to-end visibility for tracking the flow of control and data services across high-speed LTE networks.
- Comprehensive UC Innovations: Through the integration of communication protocols such as IPTV and infrastructure tracking including Cisco® endpoints, Microsoft® Lync, and Cisco Medianet, the company continues to lead the way in providing unified monitoring of UC.
- Streamlining Application Problem Resolution: The newest Observer platform release streamlined performance assessments, triaging, and root-cause analysis via new application dependency maps, performance matrices, and performance correlations.
