Shows we're attending:
Blas-Tastic Oct '14
Red Wyvern Games is made up of three 20-something upstarts from the South of England. Our passion for writing rules stems directly from our love of all things 'wargaming' – any scale, any genre. We've been crafting our own rules for a good number of years and thought it was high time we shared them with the wider wargaming community.
It gives us great pleasure to announce the release of our first two games; Seasons of War: Days of the Conqueror and Engage: Spaceship Combat. Both of these games are made for gamers, by gamers; we never release rules that we don't love playing ourselves! We really believe that our games offer something very different from other games of their type on the market.
We've got plenty more wargames up our sleeves, ready to come to a table near you! We'd love to hear your thoughts, responses and ideas on our games over on our forum; we never underestimate just how important it is to take on board the views of other gamers.
Ben, Craig & Ian
Then drop us a line!
We're a friendly bunch and always eager to hear what you've got to say.
So send your queries to email@example.com and we'll reply as soon as we humanly can. We aim to respond within 24 hours during the working week.
If you've got any thoughts or questions about a game however then we recommend that you click on the forum tab and post it over there. Registration is required, but it's quick and easy.
Plus if it's a point about a game, then you're likely not the only one to want to know the answer. So help us help you by building a solid community base where everyone can find the answers to the questions they have.

Jagan's Education Scam on pipeline
Like Chandrababu's Swarnandhra motto, YSR Congress leader Jagan too started this 'swarna yugam' slogan to woo voters. 'Open the eyes of opposition by voting for YSR Congress in the coming polls', the tainted leader pleaded spectators. However, Jagan opined that AP Government is ignoring education in government schools and promised to introduce English medium at all schools when he comes into power. A popular analyst associated with a noted Telugu news channel quipped that Jagan is hinting about a possible education scam when he comes into power.
'If he wants to introduce English medium, crores of rupees will be spent again to print text books for all classes. This is the only sector Jagan is not having any association yet', the analyst said. YSR Party sleuths are angry with these comments saying the channel is slinging mud against Jagan with these stupid talks as it supports Chandrababu.

Big Tobacco player R.J Reynolds has released a commercial for their own e-cigarette called the Vuse Digital Vapor Cigarette system. The newest family member has been introduced to R.J Reynolds products, and they're planning on running a nationwide advertising campaign for it.
This shouldn't come as much surprise since we've all been watching e-cigarettes grow for the past few years. Up until last year competitor Blu Cigs was a privately held company, but they were subsequently bought by the Lorillard Inc. tobacco company for $135 million (April 2012).
Winston-Salem & Camel tobacco company, R.J Reynolds says "this new electronic cigarette promises to offer vapers unsatisfied with the products available on the market today the 'perfect puff.' The Vuse e-cig is available exclusively to Colorado, until R.J. Reynolds decides to go national. No info on it's national release date has been given yet, due to the competitive market.
Vuse Digital Vapor Cigarette Announcement
We're a little skeptical of such a strong proclamation, as there are a few e-cigarette companies that have been in the electronic cigarette industry for years, some since 2007. With R.J Reynolds being so new to the industry, it'll be interesting to see how well all of this plays out. Broad claims such as "VUSE is powered by Smart Technology which is designed to monitor and regulate the power, heat and cartridge performance to ensure a perfect puff first time, every time" are doubtfully true. There are bigger, more veteran, players in the market today that still can't seem to get every aspect of their devices perfect.
We can't say too much here at Expert Vaping since are not in possession of the yet to be released Vuse Digital Vapor Cigarette System. However, by looking at the images that have been released, it's clear that the folks behind Vuse have given a great deal of thought to the product's presentation, looks, and packaging. Hopefully they put as much effort into the actual e-cigarette components.
Did someone say V-Liquid instead of E-Liquid?
Along with announcing their Vuse e-cigarette, R.J Reynolds made it known that they'll have their own line of liquid nicotine, what they call "V-liquid." They're starting to get fancy with this e-cig stuff now, aren't they? The V-liquid is essentially e-liquid but with a V in front of it. Hopefully with all of the commotion coming from the Vuse release, the e-liquids that accompany it are decently flavored.
Vuse Digital Vapor Cigarette – Lets Talk Prices
The Vuse e-cig will consist of two kits. R.J Reynolds states that there will be a single rechargeable e-cig kit called "VUSE Solo" and a starter kit called "VUSE System." We've outlined them below.
Vuse Solo: $10
- 1 Rechargeable battery,
- 1 Cartridge and 1 usb charger
- Vuse Solo can be purchased in Tobacco Flavor, or Menthol
Vuse System: $30
- 1 rechargeable battery
- 3 cartridges; two tobacco and one menthol
- 1 Usb charger
- 1 AC adapter
- 1 Carrying case
So now that we've got prices floating around, everything sounds cheap doesn't it? From a distance, if you're not familiar with e-cigarettes, then yes…it looks cheap. On the other hand, where is the second battery? There are typically two batteries that come with an e-cigarette starter kit. Guess what? You have to buy the other battery. Since their Vuse Solo goes for only $10, you could just buy one of those and get an extra cartridge as well as an extra USB charger, but then you just spent $40 and some pocket change for tax.
All of these prices could change by the time the Vuse product goes out onto the market but, for what it sells for only $30, we're not sure that this product is very high quality, or even worthy of praise. In the e-cig industry, you get what you pay for and thus – I personally don't expect this product to do well, but we won't really know until it is officially released. For now though….until the Vuse products are on shelves across America, all we can do is take a look at this commercial, and wait for it to arrive.
As of October 2014, Vuse Vapor is now available in all 50 states although not in every retail location. It will take a little more time until the entire distribution network is filled but it will happen..
If Vuse caught your attention and made you decide to put down your tobacco cigarettes and give electronic cigarettes a try that is great! It is important to remember however, when it comes to electronic cigarettes you have a lot of options.
Take advantage of your consumer power and consider those options and make the best choice for yourself. We highly recommend that you read our recent article that compares the Vuse ecig to other top leading e-cigarette brands.
Here are a few reputable vape brands we recommend:

Calculating Orbital Eccentricity
Lesson 3 of 4
Objective: SWBAT define eccentricity and calculate the eccentricity of various objects in the solar system using an algebraic equation.
Big Idea: This is a hands-on, laboratory-based lesson that allows students to model how planetary objects orbit the Sun in the solar system.
Warm Up
This lesson is aligned to NGSS HS-ESS1-4: Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system. Similarly, it is also aligned to the following Common Core standards: MP.2, MP.4, HSN-Q.A.2, HSA-CED.A.2, HSA-CED.A.4 as it explicitly requires distinct mathematical reasoning, modeling, and the derivation of mathematical and scientific relationships.
This class begins with students entering the room, taking out their Earth Science Reference Tables [ESRTs], and starting work on that day's 'Warm Up' activity. Students always work silently and independently before we collectively review the activity each day.
While the activity usually varies (ranging from multiple choice questions, short performance tasks, or free-response questions), I always try to ensure that the 'Warm Up' involves problems that can clear up potential misconceptions or identify learning gaps, which is often based on the classroom assessment data from previous lessons. For this lesson, I picked three multiple choice questions pertinent to the current unit on Astronomy that some students had struggled with.
Resources (5)
First, it is important to have all materials prepared and ready for this laboratory activity. (Note: usually, I have a set student who has the classroom job of passing out all necessary materials to students during the 'Warm Up' activity.)
Materials: (each student receives one of each)
- 1 sheet of blank paper (8.5 x 11 inches)
- Pencil (students should not use pens, as they often don't work well when using the drawing compass)
- Scissors
- Approximately 22 cm of string (have these already cut!)
- A thick piece of cardboard (pieces of cardboard can be purchased, but it's usually just as easy to cut up pieces of cardboard boxes)
- A drawing compass
- 2 push pins
- Metric ruler
- Calculator
Introduction: [Note: Please refer to resource below for student note sheets, as they will be periodically writing down information during this section.]
I usually introduce the activity by having all of the laboratory materials ready under a document camera. I then set up one push pin in the center of my piece of paper, loop the string around it, and draw a circle. I then very directly ask students, "What shape did I just draw?"
Generally, they're all able to correctly identify that I drew a circle.
Then, I repeat the procedure, but this time, I use two push pins in the center of the piece of paper, drawing an ellipse. After constructing it, I ask students the same question: "What shape did I just draw?"
Here, responses tend to be mixed. Often, students will guess things like a circle or oval. Then I introduce the concept of an ellipse by explaining that this shape, while nearly circular, is not actually a circle. It is what scientists call an ellipse. Then, I pose the question: "What makes a circle different from an ellipse?"
Again, answers tend to vary, but students generally are able to identify that the circle has one center point (focus), while the constructed ellipse has two (foci). I then clarify that these "center points" are actually called foci.
After defining foci, I then introduce the relationship between ellipses and orbital shapes. I state that: "All of the objects that orbit the Sun may appear circular to us, but they actually all have elliptical orbits. All of these objects that orbit the Sun, including the Earth, orbit in an elliptical shape, with the Sun at one of the foci. [Note: This is Kepler's First Law, although this will not be introduced until a later lesson]
I then ask, "If the Sun it at one of the foci, what is usually at the other foci?"
I select a variety of responses, but usually students are quick to understand that the other orbital foci is just a point in space - there is nothing there.
I then point them to a sample image (refer to Laboratory Introduction resource) showing an illustration of an elliptical orbit, having students note the two foci. Then, I point them to the image below (refer to Laboratory Introduction resource), which has an elliptical orbit with two additional parts labeled, the "distance between foci" and the "length of major axis". We then collectively define the major axis as the "distance between orbits that pass through both foci."
"But the interesting part is, we can actually see how elliptical each planet's orbit is. By using the same algebraic equation that astronomers use, we can figure out the orbital eccentricity of each planet. The eccentricity is actually how elliptical, or circle-like, a planet's orbit is. We can calculate it using an equation. The equation itself is listed below (refer to Laboratory Introduction resource), but it is actually a ratio between the distance between the two foci and the length of the major axis (HSA-CED.A.2; HSA-CED.A.4)."
Then, we do a quick example:
"Let's look at the ellipse I drew for you earlier in class. I can use my metric ruler to measure the distance between foci, which is the numerator ("d") in my eccentricity equation. Then, I can also use my metric ruler to measure the length of the major axis, which is the denominator ("L") in my eccentricity equation. Then, I can use my calculator (Note: Have students round to the thousandths place when entering these numbers into the calculator) to determine "e", which is the orbital eccentricity.

Laboratory Procedure
Usually, I start this activity collectively and proceed slowly through each step, gradually releasing students to work when it looks as if they're performing the procedure correctly. Some students may struggle with knotting the string, so allot extra time as necessary (other students can also help here!). It will also help to remind them to show their work and write in units [Note: the eccentricity, or "e" value, actually does not have any units].
Procedure :
- Take your piece of string and tie the ends together to form a loop. [Note: It is okay if students have slightly different string lengths.]
- On plain white paper draw a straight line lengthwise down the middle of the paper.
- Near the center of this line, draw two dots 3 centimeters apart.
- Placing the paper on a piece of cardboard, put a thumbtack in each dot (focus).
- Loop the string around the thumbtack's metal base and draw the ellipse by placing your pencil inside the loop as shown in the image (refer to example).
- Label this ellipse #1.
- Measure the distance (in centimeters) between the thumbtack holes (foci). This is "d". Record this on your Report Sheet.
- Measure the length of the major axis (L) (in centimeters) and record this on the Report Sheet (HSN-Q.A.2).
- Move each tack out 1 centimeter and draw a new ellipse. Label it #2 and measure and record d and L.
- Move each tack out another 1 centimeter and draw another ellipse. Label it #3 and measure and record d and L.
- Move each tack out another 1 centimeter and draw another ellipse. Label it #4 and measure and record d and L.
- Place a dot in the exact middle of the first two foci. Using a drawing compass with a pencil, construct a circle. Place the point of the compass in the center dot. Extend the compass along the major axis so the pencil touches ellipse #1. This will be the radius of the circle you are to draw.
- Using the given equation in your Introduction, calculate the eccentricity (e) of each of the five figures. Show all work on your Report Sheet.

Laboratory Discussion
The laboratory discussion can and should be started as soon as students have completed the laboratory sections (including showing all work and units!). Generally the key idea they need to leave this with, beyond defining what orbital eccentricity actually looks like, is to determine the relationship between the variables in the equation and the shapes of eccentricity (CCSS MP.2 & MP.4).
The lab data should show that as the distance between foci increases, the eccentricity values should also increase, which results in a more oblong, less "circle-like" shape. As the orbital eccentricity values get closer to zero, the shape approaches a circle. This is the reason that Ellipse #5 is actually a circle, as they should calculate the eccentricity as zero here.
Also, given the time constraints in your classroom, it may be necessary to extend this lesson into an alternate day and/or have them complete some sections for homework (as long as the laboratory section is completed, students should need no additional materials to complete the discussion section). Either way, there should be at least a brief, whole-class debrief on both the laboratory exercise and the summative learning as a result. I usually ask various students to summarize the key points and concepts emphasized in the lab.

The warehouse. The office.
Sometimes it's as if one doesn't exist to the other. As one customer told us, "it's like we have two companies here, and one doesn't know what the other is up to."
But when you're trying to improve your operation, or even to operate well, it's impossible to separate the two functions. Decisions can be made in one area that can impact the other severely, so communication and cooperation are vital. Too bad it doesn't always work that way. How can you improve it?

Ince teams up with Ince at Blackpool... but can this father-and-son partnership succeed where others failed?
With Paul Ince's appointment as Blackpool manager comes one of football's unique challenges.
Not only will he be trusted to revive a side that as recently as May 2011 was in the Premier League, Ince will overlook the future of one of the finest players in the league in his son Tom.
The talented midfielder had been expected to return to Liverpool during last month's transfer window but their failure to agree a transfer fee will ensure he stays put at least until the season's end, giving Paul at the very least a little over three months with which to succeed alongside his son.
Go on, my son! Paul and Tom Ince at Blackpool have the potential to be a success while they work together
The image of the father-and-son combination inspiring any club to greater heights is naturally a romantic one but, curiously, one that has rarely come to pass, leaving Sportsmail with little option but to recall other similar circumstances and why they may not have worked out.
Harry Redknapp and Jamie Redknapp
Midfielder Jamie was one of several players manager Harry recruited in his efforts to save an already struggling Southampton side from relegation in 2004/2005.
Given Jamie's long-term struggle for fitness had left him with no choice but to retire at the end of the season – and given his talent he could have been capable of so much more – it would have been uplifting at least if they could have succeeded in their challenge.
Not so. Southampton were relegated on the final day of the season, in Jamie's final game, after a 1-2 defeat at home to Manchester United. Harry, in fairness, had taken over a side that was already struggling long before his arrival which perhaps did not come soon enough, but he left several months later to return to Portsmouth.
West Ham and Liverpool: The Redknapps were rivals back in 1995
Father Cesare had son Paolo as his captain for Italy's 1998 World Cup campaign. It was one The Azzuri only reached for via the play-offs after Glenn Hoddle's England topped their qualifying group, and one after which Cesare resigned as manager after their quarter-final exit on penalties, just four years after losing in the 1994 final in equally cruel fashion.
Kenny Dalglish and Paul Dalglish
When Kenny was appointed as Kevin Keegan's successor as Newcastle manager great things were expected. The signing of son Paul also prompted optimism, but for what reason beyond his surname cannot be sure.
Though briefly showing some promise, Paul never took advantage of his chance at St James' Park and the end effectively came when Kenny was sacked in August 1998 after a disappointing period that was largely the result of a serious injury to Alan Shearer. Paul was later frozen out following the appointment of Ruud Gullit, and had a particularly underwhelming career.
'Gullit told me he was never going to play me again because he didn't like my dad,' Paul once said.
Weight of expectation: Paul Dalglish came nowhere near to succeeding under dad Kenny, or elsewhere
Sir Alex Ferguson and Darren Ferguson
Having shown potential in the early years of his managerial career, comparisons have already been made between Darren and father Sir Alex.
They once combined at Manchester United, however, and whatever it was Sir Alex saw it wasn't enough for him to retain his son, who was sold to Wolves in 1993-1994 despite having made enough appearances in the previous season to qualify for a Premier League winners medal.
Given the success Sir Alex has consistently enjoyed since Darren's departure, and the latter's subsequent mediocre playing career, very few will argue he made the wrong decision.
Like father like son? Darren Ferguson is proving a more successful manager than he was player
Father Arnor and son made history on 24 April 1996 in a friendly between Estonia and Iceland, when Eidur replaced his father in the second half. Unfortunately, they never played together because the president of the Iceland FA ordered they should do so for the first time in a home match against Macedonia during the qualifying phase of the 1998 World Cup before a knee injury stopped Eidur from playing.
Johan Cruyff and Jordi Cruyff
For all of the sons out there facing the difficult challenge of living up to their father's high standards, son Jordi's was perhaps the most difficult. Johan is unquestionably one of the all-time greats, and a man who followed an inspirational playing career with a superb spell as Barcelona manager.
It would be unfair to place any blame on Jordi's emergence in the first team squad at Barca in 1994 being linked to Johan's departure as manager less than two years later, even though he was far from a key player in that side. Barca, however, won only a Spanish Super Cup during his two seasons in the team, even though they took four successive Liga titles in the seasons before his first-team debut.
Jordi became an international footballer with Holland and also represented Manchester United in the Premier League. Though not on his father's level – and while he was not missed at Barca after leaving – Jordi had a career many would have been proud of.
Highly regarded: Johan Cruyff is one of the biggest names in football but son Jordi also had a decent career
Steve Bruce and Alex Bruce
This particular partnership began disastrously at Birmingham, when manager and dad Steve's impressive progress was undone in a solitary season. After establishing his side in the Premier League after years in what was then Division One, Steve's side began to struggle in 2005/2006, despite having a relatively strong squad featuring David Dunn, Nicky Butt, Emile Heskey, Jermaine Pennant and Matthew Upson.
Alex was signed from Blackburn in January 2006. Within five months Birmingham were relegated, and he had signed for Ipswich by August.
It's unlikely Birmingham would have survived without Alex's arrival, even though he contributed little in preventing it, but the two were re-united at Hull in the summer when Alex's signing soon followed Steve's appointment as manager. With them second in the Championship, they could yet buck the trend and prove the father-and-son combination isn't doomed to failure.
Recovering: Steve and Alex Bruce are doing well now at Hull, despite their failures while at Birmingham
Unusually, son Niko succeeded when working alongside father Zlatko, who was the Croatia national team's manager at the 2006 World Cup. Though they were eliminated during the group stages, winning their qualifying group means their campaign, in which Niko also regularly featured, was looked on as a success.
Zlatko continues to travel as a manager, while Niko proved himself to be a player of Premier League quality thereafter. A rare success.
Gordon Strachan and Gavin Strachan
It is perhaps only incidental that dad Gordon's managerial spell at Coventry began to decline when son Gavin began to reach maturity as a player, and that it began to significantly improve again when later appointed at Southampton away from his son.
Starting only four league games during his time at the club, Gavin was not rated highly enough by father Gordon when they were relegated from the Premier League in 2000/2001 or in Division One in 2001/2002 before Gordon's departure.
The 1999/2000 season was a promising one for Coventry when Mustapha Hadji and Robbie Keane played key roles in inspiring Gordon's side, and he had done well to avoid relegation before then, but any success Coventry had appeared to have nothing to do with Gordon, who became a journeyman in the lower leagues when it became clear he was not a Premier League player.
Relegated: Coventry finished in the Premier League's bottom three in 2000/01 while the Strachans were there

The Great Ten #9

"The Great Ten" #9 marks the conclusion to the series despite it beginning as a ten-issue mini (see the title for a clue why), but that doesn't stop it from finishing strongly spanning story of Chinese gods returning to bring down a government that's forgotten the old ways, you wouldn't know it from this issue, which flows out of the last perfectly with one of the best issues of the whole series. If this is the rushed conclusion to the series- while wrapping the story up completely and without any sense that anything was cut to make this issue work. Fans won't walk away disappointed.
Last issue, all signs pointed to Socialist Red Guardsman being a traitor to the Great Ten and the Chinese government, so Mother of Champions goes to see her dying teammate in the Gobi Desert. These are the only two members of the Great Ten to not receive an issue spotlighting their origin/history, but Tony Bedard solves that problem in a clever manner revolving around the Mother of Champions' power, which also acts as a solution to the army of robots heading to attack Beijing.
Bedard's narration of the issue is some of his best to date, while he brings the series full circle with the Socialist Red Guardsman and Mother of Champions debating the direction of China in the 21st century, mirroring the reason the 'gods' have returned. While we don't get the Social Red Guardsman's origin, it doesn't feel like it's missing since enough information is given about him to give an idea of who he is.
A possible complaint with the writing that reflects on the series being shortened by an issue is that there is no explicit end to the threat against China. However, the ending implies that conclusion strongly and ends on a positive note, restoring any fractures within the Great Ten and ending the threat of the returned 'gods.'
As the series has progressed, Scott McDaniel's work on it has grown on me. His art has a rushed, unfinished quality to it at times, but that conveys a strong energy in his pencils. His figures always look in motion, or about to spring into motion. His work on the Socialist Red Guardsman is very strong in this issue with his barely contained rage and frustration over everything that's been happening in China and with himself. The contrast with how he looks after speaking with Mother of Champions tells you so much about her character and her effect on others. He does something similar near the end of the issue with the panels beginning and ending a page, showing his ability to depict emotion.
It's a shame that "The Great Ten" had to finish one issue short of its promised run, but it does so strongly with some of the best narration of the series. Tony Bedard and Scott McDaniel made these characters come alive over the last nine issues and, hopefully, other creators will pick up where they left off and the Great Ten will make appearances in other DCU books. Their position is unique and, now, who each member of the team is is clear. All in all, it was a good, solid series that showed Tony Bedard's ability to take some simple concepts and flesh them out, and Scott McDaniel's ability to draw energetic, lively superhero comics.

Lovesick blues. (c. Char Hunter)
1.) I'm gonna walk, right through that door,
I'm gonna leave you, always wanting more.
I'm gonna walk, right out that door,
'Cause baby, that's what you're in for.
Br.) You put my heart through the ringer, you've got one hell of a stinger.
You burned me just a little, but honey I ain't that brittle.
You thought that I'd be hangin', off of every word you are sayin'.
You thought I'd be your doormat, but baby that's not my format.
2.) I'm swimmin', in an ocean of love sick blues,
That I've gone, and hurled myself into.
Swimmin', in an ocean of love sick blues,
And it's all, it's all because of you. (repeat last line).

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Decisions, Decisions."
So, I try to portray myself to myself as a rational adult who makes rational decisions with great deliberation. I tell myself a lot of things. The truth is that if it's a fairly big decision, I'll cross a mental and emotional Rubicon and then that is usually that. I try to think an important decision through, but more often than not it's my way of figuring out how I can justify the time, and more importantly to a grownup like me, and money such a decision will cost me. This isn't to say I'm reckless, but there are some big decisions that just click no matter how much I try to hold off. Hell, that's how I wound up running the Istanbul Marathon! So, it's not all bad. It's not cheap, either, but, what good does it do me to be a miser? Life's too damned short. (Famous Last Words?)

At this year's [FOSDEM] conference I did a 30 minutes presentation on [Monitoring Legacy Java Applications with Prometheus]. The talk gives an overview of some of the options you have for monitoring Java applications with [Prometheus] when you cannot modify the application's source code:
The video is available below.

The [Prometheus] monitoring tool follows a white-box monitoring approach: Applications actively provide metrics about their internal state to the Prometheus server. In order to instrument an application with Prometheus metrics, you have to add a metrics library and call that library in the application's source code. However, DevOps teams do not always have the option to modify the source code of the applications they are running.
At this year's [Devoxx] conference, Fabian Stäber did a [talk] on how to instrument Java Web Applications with Prometheus metrics without modifying the application's source code.

The Prometheus monitoring tool follows a white-box monitoring approach: Applications actively provide metrics about their internal state to the Prometheus server.

However, DevOps teams do not always have the option to modify the source code of the applications they are running.
Promagent is a Java agent using Bytecode manipulation for instrumenting Java Web applications without modifying their source code. Promagent allows you to get white-box metrics for Java Web applications even if these applications do not implement any metrics library out-of-the-box.

[Prometheus] ist ein quelloffenes Monitoring- und Alarmierungs-Werkzeug. Seine Basis bildet eine Zeitreihen-Datenbank, auf deren Daten mit einer eingebauten, sehr mächtigen Abfragesprache zugegriffen werden kann.
Prometheus verfolgt den Ansatze des sogenannten "whitebox-monitoring". Anwendungen stellen hier entweder nativ Metriken zur Verfügung, oder alternativ macht ein "[exporter]" Applikations- oder Geräte-Metriken für Prometheus abfragbar.
In diesem Artikel möchte ich zeigen, wie man mit Hilfe des [fritzbox_exporter] und des [speedtest_exporter] im Zusammenspiel mit [Grafana] Einblicke in die Performance seines Heimnetzwerks und seines Internetanschlusses bekommen kann. Die Hardware-Basis für dieses Projekt stellt ein RaspberryPi.

[Prometheus] is an open source monitoring tool, which is conceptually based on Google's internal Borgmon monitoring system. Unlike traditional tools like Nagios, Prometheus implements a white-box monitoring approach: Applications actively provide metrics, these metrics are stored in a time-series database, the time-series data is used as a source for generating alerts. Prometheus comes with a powerful query language allowing for statistical evaluation of metrics.
|Fabian Stäber
|PrometheusIO, grok_exporter, conference, devoxx, talk
[PromCon 2016] was the first conference around the [Prometheus] monitoring system. It took place from August 25 - 26 2016 at Google Berlin as a single-track event with space for 80 attendants.
We took the opportunity and did a lightning talk introducing [grok_exporter], which is a tool for extracting Prometheus metrics from application logs.
Counting the number of error messages in log files and providing the counters to [Prometheus] is one of the main uses of [grok_exporter], a tool that we introduced in the [previous post].
The counters are collected by the [Prometheus] server, and are evaluated using Prometheus' query language. The query results can be visualized in [Grafana] dashboards, and they are the basis for defining [alerts].
We found that evaluating error counters in Prometheus has some unexpected pitfalls, especially because Prometheus' [increase()] function is somewhat counterintuitive for that purpose. This post describes our lessons learned when using [increase()] for evaluating error counters in Prometheus.
[Prometheus] is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit. At its core, Prometheus uses time-series data, and provides a powerful query language to analyze that data. Most Prometheus deployments integrate [Grafana] dashboards and an [alert manager].
Prometheus is mainly intended for white box monitoring: Applications either provide Prometheus metrics natively, or they are instrumented with an [exporter] to make application-specific metrics available.
For some applications, parsing log files is the only way to acquire metrics. The [grok_exporter] is a generic Prometheus exporter extracting metrics from arbitrary unstructured log data.
This post shows how to use [grok_exporter] to extract metrics from log files and make them available to the Prometheus monitoring toolkit.


text: The biggest problem you have is different brands of fuels and plugs. Use Fuel with 18% oil lube to cool the engine down. Use a os #8 plug and I suspect you damaged the mix needle by turning in to far. As for trying a new carb The damage was already done from the improper tuning and wrong fuel used. Once you loose compression you can't get it back unless you buy a new piston sleeve for your engine. Use a temp gun to watch the temps as you run. you will see by adjusting the high speed needle the temperature will change. Always use a fuel filter. This is always overlooked and junk can block fuel flow and ruin a engine fast. A compression gauge will tell you the condition of your engine. I suggest you start over with a new engine and all the advice given.

In today's restaurant mailbag, reader's ask where to find pizza for lunch, good brunch in Southwest Portland, tasty kalguksu and Portland's best Reuben sandwich. Answers have been edited for brevity.
Q: Where is the best kalguksu within a 30 minute drive?
A: When we're in the mood for Korean food, we're usually headed west to Washington County, and we're usually looking for fireworks -- funky fermented vegetables, spicy red kochujang paste, marinated meat grilled at your table. Which is to say, we don't often find ourselves ordering kalguksu, the "knife-cut" Korean wheat flour noodles that often come drowned in a thick, bland broth with soft vegetables leached of flavor.
That being said, we wanted to suggest the semi-hidden Spring Restaurant (3975 S.W. 114th Ave., in the GMart), just so we could recommend ordering the excellent mandoo (steamed dumplings) on the side. And that would be a fine thing to do.
But, like most Korean dishes, the kalguksu at Nak Won (4600 S.W. Watson Ave., Beaverton; 503-646-9382) is a cut above. Here, white, uniform, linguine-sized noodles with a bit of fight left in them sit steaming in a wide metal bowl filled with salty broth, thin-sliced zucchini and spongy tofu. Alongside are two separate bowls of chile paste designed for dumping inside. So doctored, and quickly slurped, this is a soup that (almost) rivals good pho, ramen or beef noodle soup.
Q: Where are the good breakfast places in Southwest Portland besides Original Pancake House?
But we'll play by your rules. For help, we turned to Steve Duin, The Oregonian's Southwest Portland breakfast correspondent, who had a recommendation at hand: The French toast at Cafe Du Berry (6439 S.W. Macadam Ave., 503-244-5551). And depending on where you're coming from, you might also consider The Daily Cafe location under the OHSU tram (3355 S.W. Bond Ave.) and Babica Hen (15964 Boones Ferry Rd, Lake Oswego), the latter of which recently announced plans to expand to the former Paulee space in Dundee.
Q: Can you recommend one or two great pizza spots that serve lunch?Portland's top 10 pizza slices last fall, pizza here remains an evening affair, with many of our favorite spots, including Apizza Scholls and Ken's Artisan Pizza, opening at 5 p.m. (and only serving whole pies after that).
So it's tempting to send you to downtown Portland's Oven & Shaker (1134 N.W. Everett St.), which opens daily at 11:30 a.m. In this sleek dining room, chef Cathy Whims' team serves wood-fired pies topped with only-in-Oregon ingredients including fennel pollen sausage and smoked mozzarella or provolone and honey-drenched salami from McMinnville's Fino in Fondo.
And that's a fine choice, but today I'd like to send you a bit further afield. Handsome Pizza (2730 N. Killingsworth St., 503-247-7499, handsomepizza.com) serves piping hot, Naples-by-way-of-New York pies from a decommissioned gas station in North Portland. A split pie, half Rico Suave, half sausage y fromage, made my long list of favorite 2013 bites. But right now, I'm looking forward to trying the Matt Fraction, a new-to-Handsome pizza topped with pancetta, roasted Brussels sprouts, garlic and fresh mozzarella that was inspired by a similar pie New York's Motorino. Best of all, Handsome opens (with slices) at noon Tuesday through Saturday.
Q: I love Reubens, and was hoping you could do a "best-of" article sometime.
A: You're in luck. As it happens, we have a top Portland Reubens roundup in the works. Check back with oregonlive.com/dining next week to learn our favorites.

"Monsters" First Read
Lesson 5 of 10
Objective: Students will be able to analyze a story's plot and word choice by completing a first read, asking questions, and identifying vocabulary words.
Daily Grammar
Today is Friday, which means that it's test day. Students demonstrate their capability to use correct grammar and conventions with all the things we've covered this week as well as previous weeks.
"Monsters" First Read
Today students finished their first read of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street." My Honors students read this this by themselves. I divided my other classes up into two groups. One group would complete the first read out loud and the other group would read it by themselves. to help me determine which students would be placed in each group, I considered what the productive struggle would be for each student.
While students were reading, I asked them to do three things. The first thing was to make a list of two or three characters that they might like to read when we read the play aloud. I used that information to create cast list, which I talk about in this video.
The second thing I asked them to do was write down questions or comments they had as they read.To help students with this, I asked students to mark parts that made them question or comment with their highlighter tape. They could slap a piece of tape down on the text and then come back to it later. I also asked students to look for the answers to their questions as they continued reading.
The last thing I asked them to watch for was vocabulary that they either didn't understand or phrases or clauses that sounded awesome and were examples of excellent writing.
All three things are included on this handout. I copied it front and back to make the most of every square inch of paper.

When it seems like winter will never end, it`s time to take some positive measures to bring springtime magic into your living room. Why not snip some stems and branches from still-dormant garden plants and force them into pre-seson bloom? Or, if you really are restless fr a breath of spring, pick up a few pots of hyacinths, golden daffodils, or bright tulips from your florist or supermart.
Forcing the stems and branches involves a simple technique in which the flowers are coaxed into opening prematurely, far ahead of nature`s schedule. Some specimens chosen for forcing may respond quicker than others, depending on the variety and the state of their dormancy. As a rule, the closer a plant is to its normal flowering schedule outdoors, the sooner it can be forced indoors.

The invention of the internet has seriously changed the way we do many things in today's world. However, one aspect of our lives that has been highly affected by the introduction of the internet is the way we shop. In the digital world that surrounds us now, we have the unending ability to shop for and buy anything our hearts desire, at any time of the day, from almost any location. You can even shop from your phone while you take the bus across town from one retail store to another. Having the ability to shop online has made us more prone to purchasing items that we may not need just because they are available, that said, it has also allowed us to save money when shopping around for the best price, or buying from a wholesale site online. If you take the time to find the different resources available to you out there, you can definitely use a variety of services to shop and still save money. Below are a few of my favorites.
Personal Sell and Buy Applications
If you are like me, you probably have way too many clothes, shoes, and accessories already. I told myself a long time ago that if I was going to keep purchasing new items, I had to occasionally get rid of some too. It never feels good to let go of something that you own, especially if it has been a staple to your life in the past, or if you spent (wasted) a lot of money on it. I try to avoid this feeling of guilt by attempting to sell my unwanted clothing rather than just donating it, or at worst trashing it. Of course, there is always a good reason to donate clothing, but sometimes there are items that deserve to be sold. When you are looking to unload some merchandise, use apps like Poshmark, or other second hand retail applications. Not only are these apps a great place to sell clothing and accessories, but you can find a lot of great buys on here as well.
Sign Up for Subscription Services
The most recent trend for shopping seems to be delivery. Not only delivery, but delivery with an element of surprise. There are a ton of services out there that offer all kinds of different products, from clothing to coffee. However, I happen to love Birchbox the best. Birchbox sends you a monthly grab bag, or box rather, of sample goodies from all different kinds of brands. They tend to be makeup of beauty related but I always find at least one item I love and would buy myself. It is affordable and gives you the ability to try out different types of products before committing to buying the full-size item. Signing up for something like this is as easy as going online and entering your email address and credit card info. You do not even have to step foot into a store…

Justice Debuts New Single in an Adidas Commercial Starring Katy Perry, B.o.B., and the Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose
Well, this is strange!
Well, this is strange! Justice's new single, "Civilization," off their April 4 as-of-now-untitled album, met the world this morning via a new Adidas commercial directed by Romain Gavras, the guy who did M.I.A.'s divisive "Born Free" clip. The track is exactly the kind of thing you'd go to Justice for if you wanted a skittish giant-bass banger to soundtrack your shiny new international ad campaign, but it's overwhelmed by the fast-cut visuals, which give us flashes of your standard sports commercial tropes — progressively more dramatic football plays, jubilant soccer celebrations, sweat, blood — alongside fireworks, raves, a somber Katy Perry, a buoyant B.o.B., and at least two prospective members of the All-NBA first team. Oh, for the record, this is the second time Derrick Rose has shown up on Vulture. The first was that time he totally flaked out on Julianna Margulies. [Pitchfork]

If that wasn't all, Aanand L Rai will also be producing a film, which will be directed by Navdeep Singh, the director of upcoming film NH10. The film, which is set in Canada, is a romantic gangster drama.
Though details of the film are under wraps for the moment, Aanand Rai who is currently working on the sequel of TWM, will soon sit on the casting.
Says Aanand L Rai, "Everything about the filmmaking process has always excited me and I'm thrilled to make my foray into production'. Adding that, 'I loved Navdeep's work in MANORAMA [SIX FEET UNDER]. After watching it, I told myself that if I ever produce a film, I will get it directed by Navdeep. He came up with an interesting script a few days ago, and we decided to go ahead with the project.'

Lower Ab Exercise Using an Exercise Ball
Get on the Ball: Circling Plank
Planks are a POPSUGAR Fitness favorite because they really target your upper body and core. Plus there are so many challenging variations such as plank jumping jacks and walking elbow plank, so you mix up your routine and never get bored. Here's another variation that will really work your lower abs, so grab an exercise ball and give it a try.
- Kneel down on the floor and place your forearms on a gym ball.
- Straighten your legs behind you.
- Keeping your core strong and your body still, use your arms to roll the ball in small counter-clockwise circles. Do five circles in this direction, and five clockwise. This counts as one set. Complete three sets without any breaks if you can.

Curious about our Saje Aromatherapy Yin classes? YYoga teacher Ashley McEachern gives us an overview of this special class type and how aromatherapy can help deepen your own yoga practice.
What is Aromatherapy Yin Yoga?
Aromatherapy yin yoga is a unique twist on yoga offered by YYoga and community partner SajeⓇ Natural Wellness. During this 75 minute yin yoga practice, a nebulizer gently infuses the yoga studio with soothing essential oil blends. The moment a student wanders into the classroom, the scent of the oils has already transformed the space into a place of peace and quiet. The energy is much softer, quieter and gentler in these classes. The simple application of essential oils, that are derived naturally from plants, is grounding, cleansing and purifying.
How do we use aromatherapy during yin yoga classes?
The pocket pharmacy provided by SajeⓇ Natural Wellness includes five different essential oil blends - Eater's Digest, Peppermint Halo, Stress Relief, Pain Relief and Immune. These particular blends are rolled along specific areas on the students' bodies to accomplish anything from relieving headaches to reducing anxiety. In more restorative classes, I stick to calming blends that include oils such as lavender. When I am leading a more energizing practice, perhaps focused on stressing the students' hips (imagine a yin yoga sequence that moves from dragon to swan to shoelace), I may apply the peppermint halo blend, which has a gentle cooling effect and a sensation that students can focus their attention on.
How does aromatherapy enhance your yin practice?
The predominant feedback I receive from my aromatherapy yin yoga students is that the oils create an incredibly relaxing and enhanced experience in each of the poses and in final meditation. However, I believe that the use of these oils can do far more than simple relaxation. Since yin yoga is very much rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and each pose can stimulate a different energy line in the body, I most often apply the aromatherapy remedies based on what energy line I am theming the yin practice towards. For example, if I am teaching a yin yoga class focused on the stomach energy line, with the intention to aid digestion and ease stomach and gastrointestinal pain, I would apply the Eater's Digest remedy to certain points on my students during the poses. In this way, we are inclusively using the yin yoga asana, the essential oil and the class intention to resolve underlying issues of gut discomfort.
What is your favourite essential oil?
Peppermint Halo is my absolute favourite essential oil remedy. It is an energizing blend of peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, vetiver and cajeput, which, when combined, create an incredibly soothing and cooling sensation. This cooling action reduces pain and pounding in the head caused by headaches and the sedative nature of the blend relieves tension and balances nerves. It is celebrated as the "4 minute miracle" for headaches and migraines, which I personally battle due to ongoing dehydration. Friends and family always catch me sheepishly applying this while I am walking down the street, before I teach and every night before bed. The Sunday night yin classes are almost always packed full of students who continually tell me that the practice has an incredible healing power.
Are you ready to incorporate aromatherapy into your yoga practice? Check our schedule for Saje Aromatherapy Yin classes, available on the weekends in multiple locations.
About Saje: Founded in 1992 by Jean-Pierre LeBlanc and Kate Ross LeBlanc, a passionate husband and wife team, Saje began introducing people to the healing power of 100% natural, plant-derived alternatives to pharmaceutical medicine. After a car accident, Jean-Pierre was faced with a series of health challenges and chronic pain. Navigating a frustrating process with the medical system, Jean-Pierre was seeking a better alternative. Leveraging his background in chemistry, he discovered the healing qualities of essential oils and set out to blend his first remedies to aid in his recovery.

Wow! Science Camp offers up to eight exciting field trips, one trip each week, every season. We visit regional attractions—museums, science centers, factories, historical sites, conservatories, etc. All of our destinations are connected to science. For instance, we learned about many kinds of insects in our 2010 visit to Insectropolis, a learning center with hundreds of live insects and arthropods. In addition to fun, memorable experiences, campers learn about each of the locations we visit.
Important information about 2016 field trips:
The cost for each field trip for registered campers is $30. The field trip fee is not included in the camp fee and is due at the time of registration. Siblings and parents of registered campers are permitted on field trips. The cost for each additional family member to attend is $50. Field trip fees cover transportation, admission, T-shirt, and in some cases guided tours.
All campers who attend camp on field trip days are expected to attend the trips. There are no counselors left at the camp location during field trips. Counselors and assistant counselors serve as chaperones on field trips.
Families seeking to join a registered camper on a field trip must advise us no later than two weeks before the desired trip. This allows us to make adequate arrangements for transportation. Half Day campers must plan to arrive early (usually by 9:00 AM) and depart late (usually by 4:00 PM) on field trip days.

You've been contemplating this for a while now
So say goodbye now.
Do you have a destination or just imagination?
You seem so heartless. how can i ask this?
Do i deserve a second chance to share this romance?

Yesterday was a hard mistake.
Please don't follow in my path.
Yesterday i died alone.
Please don't follow in my path.

News Releases
Pinetree Capital Announces TSX Acceptance Of Normal Course Issuer Bid For Convertible Debentures
May 16, 2012
TORONTO, Ontario (May 16, 2012) – Pinetree Capital Ltd. (TSX: "PNP") ("Pinetree") announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted notice of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid"), through the facilities of the TSX and on other alternative Canadian trading systems, to purchase up to $3,750,000 principal amount of its 8% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due May 31, 2016 ("Debentures") (TSX: "PNP.DB"), representing up to 5% of the $75,000,000 principal amount of Debentures currently outstanding.
The Bid will commence on May 18, 2012 and end on May 17, 2013. Pinetree can purchase up to a maximum of $28,293 principal amount of Debentures per day under the Bid (subject to the company's ability to rely upon the "block purchase exception" under the TSX rules). All purchases will be made at market prices and otherwise in accordance with the rules of the TSX, and all Debentures purchased under the Bid will be cancelled.
Pinetree believes that in view of recent trading prices of the Debentures, and depending upon prices from time to time throughout the duration of the Bid, the purchase (for cancellation) of Debentures may represent an attractive use of funds to reduce the company's ongoing interest expense and reduce the overall debt outstanding at below issue cost, thereby contributing to the enhancement of shareholder value.
Pinetree has not purchased any Debentures during the previous twelve months.

Shippensburg tops Bloomsburg for second time this season in first round
SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. -- No. 15 Shippensburg scored 45 points in the second half on Saturday afternoon to erase a one-point intermission deficit and blow by No. 10 Bloomsburg 58-20 in the first round of the Division II playoffs at Seth Grove Stadium.
The Red Raiders (11-1) won their first playoff game since the 1991 season – when head coach Mark 'Mac' Maciejewski was a noseguard for the Red Raiders – and will travel to Super Region One No. 1 seed and No. 2-ranked Winston Salem State (11-0) next Saturday at noon for a second round matchup with the Rams from Bowman Gray Stadium.
The region's No. 4 seed Raiders held the No. 5 seed Huskies to just 23 yards passing until the game's final drive. Bloomsburg finishes the season 10-2, with both losses coming at Shippensburg (SU beat BU 49-42 three weeks ago to clinch the Eastern Division title).
Junior quarterback and PSAC East Offensive Player of the Year Zach Zulli went 26-of-35 passing for 469 yards, throwing for three touchdowns and running for another 1-yard score. Senior wide receiver Jacob Baskerville caught seven balls for a career-high 153 yards and two touchdowns, setting the school single-season record for 100-yard receiving games (his seventh of 2012).
Senior wide receiver Bryan Barley had three catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns – a 48-yarder from Zulli in the beginning of the third quarter that put SU up for good and another 28-yarder from senior fullback Kevin Herod on a trick play in the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Sophomore wide receiver Trevor Harman caught six balls for 117 yards while senior tailback Mike Frenette led Shippensburg with 71 yards rushing on 13 carries and ran in a 16-yard touchdown.
Shippensburg's offense put up 673 yards of total offense, including 507 yards through the air. The Raider defense, meanwhile, forced five BU turnovers – two fumble recoveries and three interceptions – and has now recorded 10 turnovers total in its two victories over Bloomsburg this season.

Emilio Pucci
For the Pucci Fall/Winter 2017-18 collection, Massimo Giornetti chose to think big. For his last line created for the Florentine brand, the fashion designer presented madly united designs cut in glitter materials or adorned with prints that made the success of the Italian brand. Two different styles that come together with both traditional and modern accessories like the Ruffle neo-sneakers, and the Camera and Slope bags. Discover Emilio Pucci shoes, Emilio Pucci bags and Emilio Pucci scarves on the MONNIER Frères website.
The Emilio Pucci brand was created in 1951. For a decade, Emilio Pucci, its creator, developed his signature prints and met with tremendous success with the jet set and the fashion industry. The Pucci style: psychedelic prints and acidic hues on a stretch material for a glamorous rendering and undeniable freedom of movement. Emilio Pucci became the iconic designer of the 60's and 70's. In the 1980s, his daughter, Laudomia Pucci, became more involved in the company, before heading it when her father died in 1992. In April 2000, Laudomia Pucci retired and sold the majority of her shares to LVMH. In 2002, the French designer Christian Lacroix was appointed Creative Director. He reedited the Pucci style basics and rejuvenated the brand. His collections became renowned. Peter Dundas and Matthew Williamson, amongst others, succeeded him. In March 2015, Italian designer Massimo Giorgetti joined Pucci as Creative Director. He perpetuated the founder's visionary work infusing the Pucci spirit in his ready-to-wear and accessory collections but also in exclusive silk creations. He left the company in April 2017.
After studying accounting, Massimo Giorgetti started as a salesman in a shop in Rimini, then in showrooms, distributing the most beautiful brands. His career started in sales, but as he was passionate about fashion since the youngest age, he ended up switching to creative design. His experience gives him a unique vision of fashion, both from a creative and a commercial point of view. In 2009, the fashion designer collaborated with the Paoloni group to create MSGM and met with tremendous success. Collections are irreverent, urban, and affordable, and attract a young target group. Massimo's creations feature bold colors and prints. A style that resembles Pucci's, who asked him to join the company in 2015 as Creative Director. He left the brand two years later. Since then, the design studio manages the Florentine label's collections.

Frito-Lay North America's Casa Grande, Ariz., reached its "near net zero" goal of running primarily on renewable energy sources, including the production of nearly zero landfill waste.
The PepsiCo division called it the division's most ambitious environmental sustainability project: Take an existing facility "off the grid" and as much as possible run primarily on renewable energy sources and recycled water. Frito-Lay applied a combination of technologies to allow the Casa Grande plant to significantly reduce the use of key natural resources and reduce the site's overall environmental footprint. The facility is generating two-thirds of all energy used from renewable sources and is working toward a 50-percent reduction in greenhouse gases; recycling 75 percent of its water; and reducing its natural gas consumption by 80 percent, Frito-Lay said in a news release.
The company said in 2010 the Casa Grande facility sent less than 1 percent of its overall waste to landills through extensive recycling and using food waste for cattle feed.
Through the project the Casa Grande facility became the first existing food manufacturing site to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
"As a company that relies on key natural resources like water and fuel, Frito-Lay has developed strategies to ensure our business remains sustainable, even if there are constraints on those resources," explains Al Carey, past chief executive officer and president, Frito-Lay North America. "Frito-Lay and its parent, PepsiCo, are committed to finding innovative solutions that are right for the business and right for the environment. The 'near net zero' project is an industry-leading example of how the two successfully intersect."
Frito-Lay said it plans to take what it's learned from the Casa Grande plant and apply them to other facilities where appropriate.
