Dude is crazy emotional over potatoes and it’s a sight to see. Seriously, Hugo’s story is about how he went from muscle for Final Fight‘s Mad Gear Gang to being a world famous professional wrestler and it somehow revolves around potatoes. Decapre’s is especially dark and depressing while the ones for Poison and Hugo are completely ridiculous. The animated cutscenes from Super Street Fighter IV and Arcade Edition remain the same, but most of the ones for the new fighters are worth checking out. Yes, I realize I said that a game with “ Street Fighter IV” in it takes place before the second version of a game with “ Street Fighter III” in it. Due to the ever-confusing Street Fighter timeline, the game’s story acts as a bridge between Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter III: Second Impact. The game does have its own little story mode for when you want to fiddle around against the computer. It’s a neat option, but I have no use for it. Then there’s the ability to upload fights to YouTube, though that just gets a shrug from me. There are a couple bells and whistles added for the online play, such as Elimination, a mode that lets you play 3-on-3, one at a time, similar to King of Fighters. While you might have more opportunities to hurt and punish at your disposal, the attacks won’t do as much damage as they would if you only had one Ultra in your repertoire. Now you have the option to use both, but at a cost. Ever since multiple Ultras were introduced in Super Street Fighter IV, the games only gave you a chance to pick one and go with it. At least there’s one more understandable engine change with the ability to do two Ultra attacks. The stuff I talked about in the last paragraph probably isn’t going to grab most people and is the video game version of explaining the difference between two similar shades of blue to someone who just doesn’t care. Players can control the timing of wake-up attacks, making it harder for their opponents to predict when they’re going to recover from attacks. The Focus Attack – where you absorb blows while setting up for an unblockable attack – can now be upgraded into a Red Focus Attack, where you can take in more hits before the character gets knocked out of the attack. The gameplay is the same classic Street Fighter stuff we’re all used to with a couple minor editions that will appeal to the hardcore players. Meanwhile, you are able to choose previous versions of characters, such as playing as Ken from Street Fighter IV or Ken from the patched version of Arcade Edition. ![]() ![]() We’ll see if that magic remains next year or if the brackets will be overflowing with, say, Evil Ryu players. Time will tell if they succeeded on that front, but considering Evo 2014’s Top 8 for the Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament from last month had only one character being used by two players, it’s promising. Taking feedback from the fans, Capcom has meddled with the veteran characters in an attempt to make the weak ones stronger and the overpowered ones weaker. Other than the quasi-new faces (and Decapre’s lack of face), the main draw here is the balancing. That brings the final cast to a whopping 44 characters. Joining them is Decapre, a Cammy-like figure who has appeared in cutscenes in older Street Fighter games, but has never been an actual fighter until now. You have the hulking gang member Hugo, the sultry wrestling promoter Poison, the delusional military mastermind Rolento, and the joyous and underwear-clad African girl Elena. As mentioned, the game includes four of the characters introduced in Street Fighter X Tekken.

The characters were created for Warner Bros. The coyote is notably a brilliant artist, capable of quickly painting incredibly lifelike renderings of such things as tunnels and roadside scenes, in further (and equally futile) attempts to deceive the bird. The rest of the scene, shot from a bird's-eye view, shows him falling into a canyon so deep that his figure is eventually lost to sight, with only a small puff of dust indicating his impact. Another involves him falling from high cliffs, after momentarily being suspended in midair-as if the fall is delayed until he realizes that there is nothing below him. One running gag involves the coyote trying, in vain, to shield himself with a little parasol against a great falling boulder that is about to crush him. Many of the items for these contrivances are mail-ordered from a variety of companies implied to be part of the Acme Corporation. Instead of his animal instincts, the coyote uses absurdly complex contraptions (generally in the manner of Rube Goldberg) to try to catch his prey, which comically backfire, with the coyote often getting injured in slapstick fashion. In each episode, the cunning, devious and constantly hungry coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner, but is successful in catching the Road Runner (but not eating it) on only extremely rare occasions. Coyote and the Road Runner are a duo of cartoon characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons, first appearing in 1949 in the theatrical cartoon short Fast and Furry-ous. Paul Julian (1949–1994, 1996–present vocal archives only) No, I don’t particularly like being compared to sheep, but I love the idea of having a Shepherd.The duo as seen in To Beep or Not to Beep (1963)įast and Furry-ous (September 17, 1949 73 years ago ( )) I give up my life for the sheep.” (John 10.15) I know my own sheep and they know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. The great news today is that Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is compassionate, caring and diligent to seek us out when we stray. Have you ever fallen and been unable to retrieve your equilibrium on your own, either literally or figuratively? Then you need a Shepherd too. They are totally helpless until someone comes to turn them over. Not only that, the shepherd must be a protector against wild animals and even robbers who want to steal the sheep.įinally, the most interesting thing I learned about sheep is that if they fall over on their backs, there is no way they can right themselves. Because they look for grass in treacherous hills and through stony paths, the shepherd has to keep an eye on them all the time so they don’t stray. Is there some one or some thing you need to stop following today? How we can totally get carried away with the cause of the moment, the thrill of the week, the adventure of the season, and stupidly leave our brains behind. Right about now I’m wondering whether this was the part of us that made Jesus think of sheep. Farmers lost $74.000 just because the shepherd went off to breakfast. The first 400 died and the next 1100 who followed them just landed on a soft heap of sheep bodies and survived. Recently in Turkey hundreds of sheep plunged off a cliff – one following the other. ![]() Sheep are kind of pathetic they’re so dumb that they blindly follow others, even to destruction. Perhaps that’s why the Bible uses talks about sheep so much. “Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9.36) ![]() Irish Friends: Dance Night “DJ Sets” at Winston House Leisure Lounge w/ DJ Jefe & RoseGawd at the Peppermint Club (10:30pm) The Shar Brothers at the Waterfront (FREE)Īphe w/ Armando Kroma, Crescendoll, Josh Kwon, & Aaron Jacobs at the DarksideĪfrobeats To The World ( Los Angeles) w/ Foxy Neela, Afriique, Nneoma, Datuois, & Ash D at 930 WellWet Meets Los Angeles w/ Ark3r & De Mode at Pattern Bar (FREE) Patty’s Afterparty w/ DJ Dae, Ty Daimnondz, Ssurpreme, Dances With White Girls, Blanc Mamba, & Lavenge at Green N’ Goldīirds of Mind w/ Yulia Niko & Sameen at Eden HollywoodĪmong Friends: St Patrick's Edition w/ Lara, Sauaro, Levant, & Carmona at LaneaĬleocatra w/ Sakra.Wav, Zora, Moni Mink, Mari, Cyberia Lain, MicDaMouse, Alliey XO, Replicant Lab, Laura Price, Zarina, Cordie Von Cupcake, Noel Noir, & Uzi Jewelry at AniRave Jungle Mirage w/ Zigan Aldi, Nhii, Borak, & Les Baklavas at Eyes ShutĬharlotte V w/ Connor Mikami, Chemtrail Johnny, & Mike Kaleidoscope at If You Know You Know x Capsule (3:00pm)Īnnicka w/ GRLFRND & Mea Inferno at Elevate Los Angeles Afterpartyīreaka w/ PBDY, Dara Genesis, Junja, Yunna, & Beijing Junglist at Jetlag 011 Real LA Underground at We Own The Night LA Sabre w/ Hyroglifics, Klippee, Connor Q, & Dara Genesis at 1720 ![]() Nicky Romero w/ GrlSkout & Meirlin at Academy L.A.

It have opened 3000 new connections per second, exhausting connection table in less a minute. Further more, customer specifically demanded (like a year ago) to have opening "src server, any, any", therefore all traffic from that server was permitted in rulebase and written to connection table. So, customer was right, we were dropping traffic without any log.įrom output was found, that source server is a testing server with product called Nessus, scanning every single tcp/udp port on every server behind that firewall. Then around time reported a real havoc started, stream of: It is an internal firewall, occasionally rulebase drop, otherwise very quiet. So I took strong coffee around midnight and run manually " fw ctl zdebug -vs 10 drop", just only watching, how text goes. So far I had no time to review why, also we did not clearly figure out, why debug was switch itself off after few hours of running, even if there was no rulebase update, no IPS update and so on. We run on that weekend also: " nohup fw ctl zdebug -vs 10 drop | grep -line-buffered '20.30.40.50|10.20.30.40' | tee /var/log/fw_ctl_zdebug_drop_LOG.txt" which came empty. Even support case has been opened, believed, that we missed something. CPU history did show also minor increase, but in nothing to worry about. As it is VSX, history is available for main gateway, not for particular virtual system (or I am wrong?), the only suspicious was sudden increase of interrupts, those were evenly distributed among all cores, so we assumed that no elephant session occurred. Then for minute was traffic visible, again drops, again visible. Surprisingly it took many seconds, 30 or more. There was clearly visible, some connections were not able get through, re-transmissions, pings with missing reply and so on. Nohup tcpdump -s 96 -w /var/log/TCPDUMParp -C 200 -W 100 -Z root -i bond1.456 arp Due to amount of affected servers, we picked up combination source and destination, and for few weekends we setup tcpdumps: They appeared "business as usual", no unexpected drops, nothing else suspicious. Having such info with staggering recurrence, we did check first traffic logs. Later on customer provided times, when connection has been lost (exact date omitted): ![]() We are still running VSX R77.30 with latest hotfix, no IPS blade running. Maybe in the future somebody would encounter similar problem, so I will try to make the story longer.Ĭustomer was complaining, that sometimes only during weekends is loosing connections towards servers. any tips what I might setup to see reason for such really strange behavior? Anything, which I can setup and analyze after? My best guess is, that even Check point support is puzzled by this, I have spoken with them, provided dumps and maybe all available logs. Traffic is permitted in rulebase, other time it works flawlessly. During that time, no backup is running, no policy update, routing is static and rather simple (default + directly connected), no drops in traffic logs, CPU 15% max. This is randomly visible in dumps many times from midnight to 2AM and then. ![]() Such behavior is for 10 or even 30 seconds, many timed during two hours time window. We are observing clearly retransmissions, so packet arrives to external, but it is not forwarded. ![]() And really, we are able to identify, that on outside interface in given time we are observing packets, which are not visible on internal. Initially hard to believe for weekend we have switched off fwaccel and setup tcpdump on internal and external interfaces on one of virtual system. To make story short, a customer started to complain, that every Sunday and Monday around 0:10AM is observing on monitoring traffic drop. I just run out of options and even opened support case, but so far no luck. ![]() So… you need to write a logging library that all your microservices can use to write the logs to a central data store (could be any kind of relational or NoSQL database). You begin to break up the monolith into microservices, and realise that you now have log files everywhere: in multiple applications across different servers. You have your big software monolith that’s writing to one or more log files. In order to realise just how stupid reinventing the wheel is, let’s take an example scenario. They could just use one of the myriad existing solutions out there, which are probably far more robust and performant than theirs will ever be. There are so many logging frameworks out there, it’s just crazy.Īnd despite this, it baffles me why so many companies today still opt to write their own logging libraries, either from scratch or as abstractions of other logging libraries. As such, it’s a problem that has been solved to death. You’ll find it in virtually every application out there. ![]() ![]() If we were running managed services within the cloud, then logging to file would often not be an option, and in that case we should use whatever logging mechanism is available from the cloud provider. We’re running on-premises, and already have log files we want to ship.using Elasticsearch as a managed service in AWS). This is good if the scale of logging is not so big as to require Logstash, or if it is just not an option (e.g. We’ll ship logs directly into Elasticsearch, i.e.Since it’s not possible to cover all scenarios exhaustively and keep this article concise and at a reasonable length, we’ll make a few assumptions here: In this article, we’ll see how to use Filebeat to ship existing logfiles into Elasticsearch, so that they can be viewed and analysed in Kibana. Logstash and beats were eventually introduced to help Elasticsearch cope better with the volume of logs being ingested. Aside from being a powerful search engine, Elasticsearch has in recent years become very popular as a special-purpose logging storage and analysis solution. ![]() Unlike µTorrent Classic, which is a desktop-based torrent client, µTorrent Web is an online torrent downloader that installs into your favorite web browser.

She talked warmly about her relationship with the group’s fans, getting older and more, but after speaking for several minutes, she paused poignantly, and then launched into a tribute to her longtime friend and collaborator, Tom Petty. At one point, though, she couldn’t help but join them to sing “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” and “Like a Rolling Stone.The Grammys charitable organization MusiCares honored Fleetwood Mac for its annual pre-Grammys fundraising concert, and as expected Stevie Nicks’ acceptance speech was one of the most entertaining moments of the evening. As she didn’t have a work permit, Nicks could not perform with Petty and Bob Dylan. On that same tour, Nicks nearly lost the right to return to Australia. Stevie Nicks irritated Australian officials after joining Tom Petty on tour I don’t know why you’re doing all this synthesizer rock.’”īy mentioning synthesizer rock, Petty took a dig at Rock a Little, the album Nicks was currently promoting.

Petty viewed Nicks as a corporate songwriter and wasn’t sure what to make of her at first. “And it was her mission in life that I should write her a song.” “She was this absolutely stoned-gone, huge fan,” American Songwriter reported that Petty said in the book Conversations With Tom Petty. She was a huge fan of his music, stating that she may have left Fleetwood Mac if the Heartbreakers wanted her to join.
