Can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was. After searching locally for the living room furniture I wanted, I decided to look online and found out about Home Gallery. I must say I was a bit skeptical, but to my amazement, the furniture was delivered more efficiently than I had ever had done from a local furniture store. The delivery people were wonderful from the phone calls purchasing the furniture to the setting up the time and date of delivery, to the gentlemen who had been on the road for 15 hours! What a wonderful experience. I have told all my friends and I will only purchase furniture this way from now on. I only wish I had known about this earlier! The savings and service are outstanding!- Laura Spignesi, Branford CT View All Testimonials

text: P.J. Griekspoor Archives Follow @@PJGriekspoor Wheat Quality Tour Sees Good, Bad and Ugly The wheat crop in some areas will be very good, in others about average in the still drought-plagued west, pretty awful. Published on: May 3, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print It won't be the best Kansas wheat crop ever, but in places it will be pretty good. It won't the worst ever either, but in places it will pretty awful. Overall, it will likely be above average, but perhaps not by much. That's the word at the end of Day 2 of the annual Hard Red Winter Wheat Quality Tour, which made its way from Colby to Wichita on Wednesday, following 6 routes that covered western and southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Tour members agreed that the worst of the wheat has been hit by severe lack of moisture and is located in the western and especially southwestern part of the state. THE ROUTES: A staple of the annual Hard Red Winter Wheat Quality Tour is the map that defines the routes various cars, driven by veteran volunteers, will take as participants sample wheat fields across the state. The routes are determined not only by roads that provide good opportunities for field samples but by proximity to Kansas historical or tourism landmarks such as the World's Largest Ball of Twine in Cawker City, the World's Largest Hand-Dug Well in Greensburg, the Dalton Gang Hideout in Meade, Pat's Beef Jerky in Liebenthal, the Mennonite Museum in Goessel or the Smoky Valley Roller Mill in Lindsborg. "You can draw a line from Hoisington to Great Bend to Medicine Lodge," said Kansas State University agronomist Jim Shroyer. "Everything to the east looks pretty good. Everything to the west, not so good." Estimates of the total yield for the Kansas crop took a beating on Day 2 as the 22 cars carrying almost 100 tour participants traveled that not so good territory. The combined yield average estimate for Day 2 was 43.7 bushels to the acre, compared to an estimate of 53.6 on Day 1, which sampled fields from Manhattan to Colby, mostly in the northern half of the state where fall moisture was better and conditions have overall been more favorable for higher yields. Kansas farmers planted about 9.5 million acres of wheat last fall. Average abandonment is about 7%, though there is an expectation of less abandonment this year because of high prices. Shroyer said the central corridor, often the best-yielding in the state, looks particularly good this year and fungicide use to combat stripe and leaf rust has been up dramatically – a fact that contributes to increased yield prospects. In the two days of the tour, participants sampled 566 fields, calculating yield potential using a formula developed by Kansas State University and the Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service. Depending on maturity level of the crop, the estimate is made by counting tillers, heads or spikelets on heads for about a foot of each of three to five rows in a field. Participation in the tour was up markedly this year over previous years, with representation from states across the country and some foreign countries, including Mexico, Japan and Brazil. Tour members include producers, government officials, marketing specialists, journalists and industry officials including milling, baking and trading companies. Shroyer said moisture deficiency is definitely taking a toll in the western part of the state. At this stage of development, the crop is using about 0.3 inches of moisture a day, meaning a timely rain of about an inch will be depleted in about three days. Tour participants said the worst wheat they saw was in the area between Garden City and Medicine Lodge, while the best was in central Kansas. The tour will continue today from Wichita to Kansas City, where participants will conclude their tour experience at the Kansas City Board of Trade.

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD: DXVDL Youth? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
What is the difference in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 Voodoo youth bat?
The 2012 Voodoo uses SC4 Alloy and TR3 Strut composite materials in the handle. The 2013 Voodoo uses X10 Alloy and the same TR3 Strut composite. The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD uses X10 alloy, new paradox composite materials and d-fusion technology to reduce vibration.
My son used a 31/19 aluminum bat, and had good power. He is ten years old and 95 lbs. His previous bat is too old to pass inspection, and the voodoo does not come in a 31/19? What bat do you recommend?
The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum: (DXVXL) would be a great choice to take a look at it. We do have it available right now in a 31/19. It is a two-piece hybrid design, and will be extremely balanced. The even weight distribution will make it very easy to generate a faster bat swing. The C6 composite handle will also offer a little bit more flex and trampoline. This model has been very popular, has great reviews, and is very high performing.
Is the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD: DXVDL Youth stampped approved for little league?
Yes the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD (DXVDL) bat does have the stamp and is approved for little league.
Product Description
New for 2014! There's one thing that makes our scientists great – they don't care about the laws of science. The 2014 Voodoo OVERLORD was designed for unfathomable, explosive power. Our new breakthrough 2 piece D-Fusion handle allows us to crank up the performance of the barrel while improving feel. Our Carbon Reinforced Paradox Composite Handle is stiffer for ultimate energy transfer between barrel and ball. While our patented ThermoFused Taper enhances an already explosive X10 Alloy barrel by containing energy in the barrel where it belongs - Propelling the ball on impact and reducing vibration to hands. More explosive and powerful than ever, the night before games, the OVERLORD is what will keep opponents up. Better feel, stiffer construction, more power - that's the Voodoo OVERLORD! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Rumours going around that KP's gonna get dumped anyway.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Guessing Twatter, but whose feed?
Find myself almost wishing it's true, actually. The ECB, cast here in the role of cuckolded spouse, not accepting such a craven and flagrant twelfth hour promise the errant partner can change and that he's loved them all along. #yougogirl
- As featured in The Independent.
"Predictably, the ending of his international career did not end the argument about Pietersen's merits, as an army of informed commentators and Piers Morgan weighed in to defend or attack him."
- The Guardian's Andrew Anthony
Nick Hoult @NHoultCricket
Sounds like no KP. Anyway back to the Mountain biking
mike selvey @selvecricket
Rumours gathering pace that KP has been cut adrift. Disciplinary as a result of texts and video, or the end of the line?
Boycott to come out in support of KP. Ink it in.
Very similar temperaments as players, even if polar opposite MOs.
Why would the ECB publish that video and then drop him? Would be a dickish move of the highest order. And we are certainly in no shape to drop Pietersen.
"I can't promise anyone success but I can promise them a trip to the moon." - John King
RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.
I don't think the video was published with the ECB's permission...
this is so epic. love kp. love ecb. love cricket. love jonny bairstow.
Maybe KP knew he was cut of, and just made the video to make himself out to be the victim. Realistically speaking, he would have lost nothing by doing so - if it is indeed the case. Would make an interesting double bluff. What if the double bluff is called though and they put him in the ODI squads? Mmm.

yes it's pretty likely he did know by the time he released the video and it was just some last ditch attempt to regain selection and to win the pr war should he not be selected.

This wreath can be made for ANY holiday, you just have to switch out the colors. If you've been with me from the beginning, then you've seen a similair Halloween and fall wreath using this same method (pictures at the end of the post).
Let's get started!
Step 1Punch a bunch of circles out of your glitter paper and old book pages. (I used two pink and two red 12x12 sheets of glitter paper, and part of a dollar store book.)
Step 2
For the banner, I cut a piece of red glitter cardstock to 3" high and 12" long. I used some white scrapbook letters from my stash to add the words "Be Mine." To make sure that your title is straight, you can place a piece of paper under the letters to line them up. Then make two cuts in each end as shown in the picture to finish the banner. Glue the banner on with your glue gun.
And there you have it! A beautiful, easy, and inexpensive decoration for your home for Valentine's Day! Hope you enjoy making yours as much as I did making mine!!
And as promised, here are the two other wreaths I made for Thanksgiving and Halloween using this same method. You can make one for any time of the year by switching out the colors.

They shouldn´t even be allowed to vote, let alone run for Senate. *runs away*
We are so hosed
Heck, that´s nothin´- The House swears in its first admitted bi-sexual. It´s historic, I tell ya.
FTA "...that women´s styles tend to be more collaborative," You see, men are different than women. Except when they´re not. And don´t you dare mention it. That is sexist. But then women are "less confrontational" except when they are not. I love the logic of women!
I´d love a woman candidate for president. A CONSERVATIVE woman. But I don´t think Michelle Malkin is running. Maybe Mia Love? I can dream can´t I?
Like I said above--Dear God-- saw a preview-- the View on Steroids!!!Women´s Rights, (reproductive) Better Budgeters-- Whay can´t we all get along-- All of them think we´ll have a female candidate for pres in 2016.Way too much estrogen!
Leftist gimmecrat women are not real women.
It amounts to 20 more people on the hill, preening before the cameras and working on their re-election immediately. feh
Alright ladies, let´s see what you got!
Ditto #1. I´m tired of the Chickification of America. Noticed that men seem to be predominant announcing the Rose Bowl Parade and women are at NASCAR and football games. Tired of it.
Sorry to be un-PC folks, women gave this election to Obama.Between gutless brain-dead liberal men and "emotion driven" goofball women, we will continue to have horrible issues running this country. I feel sad for smart, conservative women, almost as bad as I feel for black and gay conservatives.Let´s not forget the "feminist" treatment of Bachman and Palin, and the complete ignoring of Mia Love by women, not to forget the astonishing gushing of women´s groups over the useless Hillary Clinton.Voting should be restricted to male landowners who are employed, or own their own business, and pay taxes.Discuss.
Everything about this administration is "historic". Here is one more for you A to Z: Historic debt under this presidency.
Reading many of these posts on this and the other identical thread of this article it is easy to see why the GOP loses the women´s vote in Presidential elections. For a minute I thought it must be 1913, not 2013.
#13, it´s no coincidence that the Country is circling the drain largely as a result of that brain-dead "womens´ vote."
I`m sure the addition of Elizabeth Warren will raise the character level of the senate - /sNow that the 112th Congress is history, Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick is now free to appoint Bwarney`s Fwank as interim Senator from Massachusetts.
Time to repeal the 19th amendment.
#13, open your mind for a second.Are you better off as a society for what feminism has brought us?What was our divorce rate in, to use your number, 1913?What was the abortion rate?How many women do YOU know who vote on candidates based on their ability and record, and their looks do not have, say, 70-90% of the reason for voting?How many women in this country believe that Republicans have waged a war on women?Aside from our advances in medicine, technology and human rights, 1913 socially looks a whole lot better to me now.

Connect for Health builds connections in communities
EAGAN, Minn. (Sept. 17, 2013) — The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota Foundation awarded 12 Minnesota nonprofits a total of $580,000 for projects that connect people with diverse groups and networks to create healthier communities.
"More than a decade of research shows that people with strong, positive social relationships live longer, are less likely to be depressed and generally are healthier," said Carolyn Link, executive director of the Foundation. "These projects will help residents of communities across the state build connections and strengthen networks, which enables groups to work together to tackle common concerns or achieve shared goals."
The organizations include:
An additional grant of $100,000 was awarded to the Trust for Public Land in Minneapolis to work with Juxtaposition Arts on a community-driven, creative placemaking project in North Minneapolis. The grants are part of a larger health equity initiative that seeks to ensure that all Minnesotans have an equal opportunity to be healthy regardless of income, education, race and other socioeconomic factors that affect health.

Apples to Oranges to Watermelons
Every 12 months we pit the best of what's new in 4x4 vehicles against one another in our 4x4 of the Year test. This is a shootout of what's coming soon to a dealer near you, a comparison of different vehicles based on their merit as the freshest newfangled 4x4s. We do require a few things: a two-speed, low-range-equipped transfer case; availability by early the following year; and a minimum production of 2,500.
Our field of competitors for 2013 spans the spectrum of style, capability, and performance, but oddly enough they are all from the same mother ship. Spoiler alert! A Chrysler product won our test.
This year we received three contenders, the '13 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition, the '13 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, and the '13 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman Crew Cab 4x4. Each is new or has been significantly upgraded from prior models.
Our test takes these three unusual cousins through a variety of terrain, with the majority of points earned while off the asphalt. Unlike car magazines that concentrate on ergonomics and how a vehicle works on tarmac, we go straight to where you the reader likes to see your 4x4s—in the dirt, rocks, mud, and sand—to determine a winner. To that end, we consider 4x4 attributes such as recovery points and skidplates. In fact, any ergonomics we consider is based on comfort and visibility for off-road use. We spend a week running these vehicles through their paces in places few auto journalists dare to tread, and why? So we can award the best of what's new with a title most fitting for a true four-wheeler, the 4x4 of the Year.

We require a two-speed, low-range-equipped transfer case
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
The Grand Cherokee Trailhawk was the most anticipated vehicle of the test. Grand Cherokees have always done well in 4x4 of the Year, and one designed specifically for off-road use had to be a contender. The list of upgrades included rock sliders, aggressive tires, a rear locking differential, additional skidplates, and unique 18-inch wheels. Plus there were the cool red towhooks, black hood decal, and red and black leather seats to give it a cool look and attitude. Unfortunately, by week's end the Trailhawk had earned the nickname Trail Chicken. What could have been so good resulted in something only a bit better than the stock Grand we tested two years ago.
We'll start with the good. The rock sliders are some of the best we have ever seen on a production vehicle. Tough and strong, they saved us in quite a few undesirable rock situations. The red towhooks may look flamboyant but worked excellently (too bad there wasn't a pair on the rear bumper). Speaking of bumpers, how about something made of steel like the Wrangle Moab has?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is an awesome driving machine. It rides great, is pretty fast, and was the best four-door SUV in our test. The interior is comfortable and would make this the perfect office-to-airport to mountain cabin commuter if we had a little place up in the hill for skiing or snowmobiling, or whatever else people do at their mountain cabin in the winter.
The four-wheel independent suspension is at home in high-speed desert romps. It was the one place the Trailhawk seemed to spread its wings and fly (sorry, we were looking for the proper time for that pun). However, we realized that the fancy air suspension still needs more work, as the Hawk works best at high speed when in the low "sport" mode. At maximum height the Grand's suspension tops out as the tires go to full droop with an annoying clunk sound.
The Grand did earn top honors on looks and styling with the blacked out hood decal reminiscent of its Power Wagon cousin. But unlike the reliable Power Wagon locking differentials, we were disappointed with the traction control in the Grand. The Trailhawk edition with the Hemi V-8 has an electric actuated clutch-style limited slip in the rear axle. This combined with brake-based traction control up front led us to expect great things off-road. We found it didn't always work out that way, especially when we needed it most in the rocks and hillclimb. At times we had a tire on solid granite and couldn't get it to pull the Jeep forward, while other times the tire spun in loose gravel. So we opted to spin the tires faster, hoping the acceleration would kick in the brake traction device. All it did was dig us in deeper and lower the air suspension. Luckily other wheelers with excellent rock sliders were there to catch us.
The center-console-mounted terrain selection in this SUV leaves plenty of room for improvement. We've seen this style of system before in Land Rovers and Land Cruisers, but we have to say the Jeep variant still needs work. In fact, the best it ever worked was when we put it in sport mode to reduce the ride height and traction/safety nannies. Nonetheless, most judges picked this Jeep as the go-to vehicle of the test for on-road driving. Since most Americans use their 4x4s as street-driven commuters requiring just enough off-road performance for foul weather or easy dirt roads, we support the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for that job.
The Pros
• Beefy rock sliders
• Comfortable
• Fast on dirt roads
The Cons
• Suspension clunks at speed
• Needs more power
• Needs real lockers (SRT8?)

Puppi: A Puppet module for Deployment Automation
Puppi is a Puppet module that lets users manage and automate the deployment of applications or generally every kind of batch activity that involves the execution of a sequence of scripts and commands.
Its structure provides complete flexibility on the actions required for virtually any kind of application deployment but, in order to make usable out of the box, some example defines and scripts are provided to manage common scenarios and needs.
The module provides:
- The puppi command and its whole working environment
- A set of common usage scripts that can be used in chain
- Sample defines that can be used for many common application deployment scenarios.
The whole picture in an example
Before diving into details let's see a brief example.
On your node or role you can use a similar define:
puppi::project::war { "myapp": source => "http://repository.example42.com/myapp/myapp.war", user => "myappuser", deploy_root => "/srv/tomcat/myapp/webapps", report_email => "firstname.lastname@example.com", enable => "true", }
This creates a set of scripts in /etc/puppi/projects/myapp that make it possibile to write the simple command:
puppi deploy myapp
to run the whole deployment procedure, that, in this case, involves retrieving the war file from the http://repository.example42.com/myapp/myapp.war, backing up /srv/tomcat/myapp/webapps, deploying the new war in the same directory as myappuser and notifying via email email@example.com.
This case is not particularly complex but consider that the same puppi::project::war define user before has many more options, that let you run custom pre or post commands (in customizable order and with defineable user), stop and start, during the process any custom service, block access from a specific IP (such as the one of your load balancer) and so on.
If something wrong happens you can simply type:
puppi rollback myapp
and choose to what version you want to rollback (latest or any other previous (dated) backup).
Let's see a real life example of a deploy:
root@metaportali-mpc:~# puppi deploy configurator Puppi setup: 00-configurator-RuntimeConfig-Initialization [ OK ] Deploy: 10-configurator-Run_PRE-Checks [ OK ] PROCS OK: 4 processes with command name 'apache2' TCP OK - 0.001 second response time on port 80|time=0.000651s;;;0.000000;10.000000 [ ... ] Deploy: 20-configurator-Retrieve_WAR [ OK ] Deploy: 30-configurator-Backup_existing_WAR [ OK ] Deploy: 36-configurator-Disable_extra_services [ OK ] Deploy: 37-configurator-Check_undeploy [ OK ] Deploy: 38-configurator-Service_stop [ OK ] * Stopping tomcat-mpc instance Using CATALINA_BASE: /store/tomcat/mpc [ ... ] Deploy: 39-configurator-Run_Custom_PreDeploy_Script [ OK ] Deploy: 40-configurator-Deploy_WAR [ OK ] Deploy: 42-configurator-Service_start [ OK ] * Starting tomcat-mpc instance Using CATALINA_BASE: /store/tomcat/mpc [ ... ] Deploy: 43-configurator-Check_deploy [ OK ] Deploy: 44-configurator-Enable_extra_services [ OK ] Deploy: 80-configurator-Run_POST-Checks [ OK ] PROCS OK: 4 processes with command name 'apache2' TCP OK - 0.004 second response time on port 80|time=0.003824s;;;0.000000;10.000000 [ ... ] Reporting: 20-configurator-Mail_Notification [ OK ] REPORT FOR PUPPI - STATUS OK Summary of operations is: /var/log/puppi/configurator/20110224-114729/summary Details are in: /var/log/puppi/configurator/20110224-114729/ Temporary workdir has been: /tmp/puppi/configurator/ (Will be rewritten at the next puppi run) Runtime config file is: /tmp/puppi/configurator/config Files have been archived in: /var/lib/puppi/archive/configurator/20110224-114729
If you use Example42 modules, enable their automatic monitoring features ($monitor=yes) and use Puppi, among others, as monitoring tool (ie: $monitor_tool=["nagios","munin","puppi"] ) you have out of the box the possibility of running local checks of the applications managed by Puppet with the command puppi check. Let's see an example:
root@metaportali-mpc:/# puppi check Host check: 50-apache_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 4 processes with command name 'apache2' Host check: 50-apache_tcp_80 [ OK ] TCP OK - 0.001 second response time on port 80|time=0.000668s;;;0.000000;10.000000 Host check: 50-mcollective_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'ruby', args 'mcollectived' Host check: 50-munin_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'munin-node' Host check: 50-munin_tcp_4949 [ OK ] TCP OK - 0.003 second response time on port 4949|time=0.003184s;;;0.000000;10.000000 Host check: 50-nrpe_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'nrpe' Host check: 50-nrpe_tcp_5666 [ OK ] TCP OK - 0.005 second response time on port 5666|time=0.005355s;;;0.000000;10.000000 Host check: 50-openssh_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 13 processes with command name 'sshd' Host check: 50-openssh_tcp_22 [ OK ] TCP OK - 0.001 second response time on port 22|time=0.000857s;;;0.000000;10.000000 Host check: 50-puppet_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'puppetd' Host check: 50-rsyslog_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'rsyslogd' Host check: 50-snmpd_process [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'snmpd' Host check: 50-tomcat-mpc [ OK ] PROCS OK: 2 processes with command name 'java', args 'mpc' Host check: 50-tomcat-verticali [ OK ] PROCS OK: 1 process with command name 'java', args 'verticali' Host check: 50-tomcat_tcp_8200 [ OK ] TCP OK - 0.001 second response time on port 8200|time=0.000697s;;;0.000000;10.000000 Host check: 50-tomcat_tcp_8201 [ OK ] TCP OK - 0.001 second response time on port 8201|time=0.001045s;;;0.000000;10.000000
From these simple examples it should be clear that with Puppi you have:
- A common command to manage deploys and rollbacks on any host.
- A simple to use, coherent and still flexible and customizable set of defines to describe in Puppet manifests all the elements you need for your application deployments.
- A quick way to check if everything is ok on your local node (if you use Example42 module set).
Think about it: with just a Puppet define you build the whole deploy
- Reporting for each deploy/rollback is built-in and extensible
- Automatic checks can be built in the deploy procedure
- You have a common, growing, set of general-use scripts for typical actions
- You can define custom deployments workflows (puppi::project::myprocedure) for specific cases not covered by the provided sample defines.
Using the puppi command
Puppi provides various actions and options, let's see the main ones:
puppi <action> <project_name> [ -options ]
These are, currently, the available actions:
- puppi init <project_name> : First time initialization of the defined project
- puppi deploy <project_name> : Deploys the defined project
- puppi rollback <project_name> : Rollback to a previous deploy state
- puppi check [project_name] : Runs project specific and host wide checks
For each of these actions puppi runs the commands in /etc/puppi/projects/$project_name/$action, logs their status and then runs the commands in /etc/puppi/projects/$project_name/report to provide reporting, in whatever, pluggable, way.
You can also provide some options:
-f : Force puppi commands execution also on CRITICAL errors
-i : Interactively ask confirmation for every command
-t : Test mode. Just show the commands that should be executed without doing anything
-d <yes|full>: Debug mode. Show debugging info during execution
-o "parameter=value parameter2=value2" : Set manual options to override defaults. The options must be in parameter=value syntax, separated by spaces and inside double quotes.
Here are some command line samples:
puppi check : Run host-wide checks.
puppi init myapp : Make the first deploy of "myapp". Can be optional.
puppi deploy myapp : Deploys myapp with the standard logic/parameters defined in Puppet
puppi deploy myapp -f : Deploys myapp and doesn't stop in case of Critical errors
puppi deploy myapp -i : Deploys myapp in interactive mode. Confirmation is asked for each step
puppi deploy myapp -t : Test mode. Just show the commands that would be executed
puppi deploy myapp -d full : Deploys myapp with full debugging output
puppi deploy myapp -i -o "version=1.1 source_url=http://dev.example42.com/code/my_app/": Deploys myapp in interactive mode and sets some custom options that override the standard Puppet params.
Note that these parameters change according to the script you use (and the scripts must honour this override).
puppi rollback myapp : Rollbacks myapp to a previous archived state. User is prompted to choose which deploy to override.
File Paths
All the paths used by the puppi scripts are provided, and can be configured, in the puppi Puppet module:
/usr/sbin/puppi - Where the puppi command is placed. Currently is a bash script.
/etc/puppi/puppi.conf - Puppi main config file. Here various puppi wide paths are defined
/etc/puppi/checks/ ($checksdir) - Here can be placed all the host wide checks. If you use the Example42 monitor module and have "puppi" as $monitor_tool, this directory is automatically filled with checks based on Nagios plugins.
/etc/puppi/projects/ ($projectsdir) - In this directory you can have one or more projects subdirs, with the commands to be run for deploy, rollback and check actions. They are completely built (and purged) by the Puppet module.
/etc/puppi/scripts/ ($scriptsdir) - The general-use scripts directory, these are used by the above commands and may require one or more arguments.
/var/lib/puppi/archive/ ($archivedir) - Where all data to rollback is placed.
/var/log/puppi/ ($logdir) - Where logs and reports of the different commands are placed.
/tmp/puppi/ ($workdir) - Temporary, scratchable, directory where Puppi places temporary files. It's wiped at every puppi run.
/tmp/puppi/$project/config - A runtime configuration file, where are dinamically placed variables usable by all the scripts invoked by puppi. This is necessary to mantain "state" information that changes on every puppi run (such as the deploy datetime, used for backups).
Understanding the Puppi module
The puppi module provides few basic defines to manage puppi's setup elements and some example templates that use these defines to build deployment workflows.
The basic defines are:
puppi::project - Creates the main project structure. One or more different deployment projects can exist on a node.
puppi::initialize - Creates a single command to be placed in the init sequence. It's not required for every project.
puppi::deploy - Creates a single command to be placed in the deploy sequence. More than one is generally needed for each project.
puppi::rollback - Creates a single command to be placed in the rollback sequence. More than one is generally needed for each project.
puppi::check - Creates a single check (based on Nagios plugins) for a project or for the whole host (host wide checks are auto generated by Example42 monitor module)
puppi::report - Creates a reporting command to be placed in the report sequence.
The above init, deploy, rollback, check and report defines have generally a standard structure and similar arguments. Every one is reversable (enable => false) but you can wipe out the whole /etc/puppi directory to have it rebuilt from scratch.
Here is an example for a deploy command:
puppi::deploy { "Retrieve files": # The $name of the define command => "get_curl.sh", # General-use script to use argument => "file:///storage/file", # Argument(s) for the script priority => "10", # Execution order user => "root", # Execution user project => "myapp", # The name of the project }
This define creates a file named /etc/puppi/projects/${project}/deploy/${priority}-${name}
Its content is, simply:
su - ${user} -c "export project=${project} && /etc/puppi/scripts/${command} ${arguments}"
You can glue together, with the desired order according to the priority argument, different basic defines to create a complex project template and use this in your manifests. Various sample defines that can be used to many common deployment scenarios are present in puppi/manifests/project/ You can use puppi::project::war to manage the deployment of a simple war file, as seen before, or other defines to manage deployments of a tarball, an arbitrary list of files, or the maven artifacts published on a Nexus repository.
The puppi/files/scripts directory in the module contains some general usage scripts that can be used in custom deployments.
They are generally made to work together according to a specific logic, which is at the base of the sample defines in puppi/manifests/project/ but you're free to write your own scripts, in whatever language, according to your needs, and integrate them with custom Puppet defines.
The default scripts are engineered to follow this procedure for a deployment:
- Remote files are downloaded in /tmp/puppi/$project/store or directly in the predeploy directory: /tmp/puppi/$project/deploy
- If necessary the downloaded files are expanded in one or more predeploy directories (default:/tmp/puppi/$project/deploy)- Runtime configuration entries might be saved in /tmp/puppi/$project/config- Files are eventually backed from the deploy directory (Apache' docroot, Tomcat webapps or whatever) to the archive directory (/var/lib/puppi/archive/$project)
- Files are copied from the predeploy directory to the deploy dir.
- Relevant services are eventually sopped and started
The most used common scripts are (they might have different arguments, some of them are quite simple):
get_file.sh - Retrieves a remove file via ssh/http/rsync/svn and places it in a temporary directory (store or predeploy)
deploy.sh - Copies the files in the predeploy dir to deploy dir
archive.sh - Backups and restores files in deploy dir
service.sh - Stops or starts one or more services
wait.sh - Waits for the presence or absence of a file, for the presence of a string in a file or a defined number or seconds.
get_metadata.sh - Extracts metadata from various sources in order to provide info to other scripts
report_mail.sh - Sends a mail with the report of the operations done
How to customize
It should be clear that with puppi you have full flexibility in the definition of a deployment procedure, since the puppi command is basically a wrapper that executes arbitrary scripts with a given sequence, in pure KISS logic.
There are different parts where you can customize the behaviour of puppi:
- The set of general-use scripts in /etc/puppi/scripts/ ( this dir is filled with the content of puppi/files/scripts/ ) can/should be enhanced. As been, these can be arbitrary scripts in whatever language. If you want to follow puppi's logic, though, consider that they should import the common and runtime configuration files and have an exit code logic similar to the one of Nagios plugins: 0 is OK, 1 is WARNING, 2 is CRITICAL.
Note that by default a script that exits with WARNING doesn't block the deploy procedure, on the other hand, if a script exits with CRITICAL (exit 2) by default it blocks the procedure.
Take a second, also, to explore the runtime config file created by the puppi command that contains variables that can be set and used by the scripts invoked by puppi.
- The custom project defines that describe deployments procedures. These are placed in puppi/manifests/project/ and can request all the arguments you want to feed your scripts with.
Generally is a good idea to design a standard enough template that can be used for all the cases where the deployment procedure involves similar steps. Consider also that you can handle exceptions with variables (see the $loadbalancer_ip usage in puppi/manifests/project/maven.pp)
What's next
The Puppi module is a work in progress that is already used in production. It has been designed to automate deployments in a specific environment but a lot of effort has been done to standardize as much as possible the procedures and the options for differents needs and logic and to make it modular by design.
The same puppi command can be re-written from scratch. It's has been made in bash and not in fancier languanges for simplicity and portability.
What it does at the moment, after all, is something quite simple (basically execute commands in a sequence).
The whole point of the Puppi module is to define quickly and standardize in Puppet manifests any kind of deployment procedure (at least, at the moment, any kind of procedure that can be executed from the same node, orchestration is planned but not yet functional).
Future plans involve:
- dedicated agents for orchestration tools like Mcollective or ControlTier
- more reporting scripts (for example reporting on Google Calendar and Docs)
- a web interface to manage the deployment procedure and see reports

where do I find the "puppi" command?

thanks!

hi al I install the puppet package on my RHEL5,but I can't find the "/usr/sbin/puppi" command my puppet packages as follow, --puppet-0.25.4-1.el5.rpm --puppet-server-0.25.4-1.el5.rpm could you help me? Thank you again!
hi al I have already deployed puppi module to /etc/puppet/modules/, but I still can't find /usr/sbin/puppi command . I can send you my puppi modules if you tell me your email. thanks a lot! firstname.lastname@example.com
Hey,Id like to use puppi in a commercial enviroment, are there any limitations on that considering that the license is gplv3? Thank you
I have tried to download and configure the puppi modile but still i am not able to found puppi command. thanks
I have downloaded and configure the puppi module and restarted and puppetmaster service. But Still i am not able findout the command puppi.
I had the same issue on finding puppi command. It turned out that the puppi command was installed when you ran the puppet agent at the first time. of course, you must put down "include puppi" in the node as Al said. Not sure if there is other way to do it.
I have put include puppi for my puppet node but what's next?Where exactly do I define e.g. puppi::project::war{...}I've tried it in the init.pp and also under the include puppi but it doesn't create the /etc/puppy/projects/ project files Syntax error at 'myapp'; expected '} define puppi::project::war { "myapp": source_url => "http://XXXX/myapp.war", user => "tom", deploy_root => "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT", enable => "true", }
Hi,thank you very much for the puppi-module. I could really easily create a deployment-model for my project. But now i'm restricted to run puppi as non-root? Is that possible at all? I asume that puppi is designed to more run as root (or via MCollective). Does anyone have experiences with running it as non-root? Does it make sense to even try that? thanks Kim
I work on release management and looks like thi stool is cool. I am almost a novice in Linux and am still exploring it. So, can someone let me know the steps to download and installed puppet modules. Do I need to do it on each Linux box I have or can I place it on any centralized location which can be accessed by all the servers.

Got cap issues? Need to replenish the farm? No worries, just do what the Chicago Blackhawks did this past summer.
Chicago general manager Stan Bowman had no choice but to shed salary even though the team's NHL-caliber depth was going to take a hit. Chicago will suffer a bit in the short term, but they've got at least two good reasons to remain optimistic.
By getting Jeremy Morin in the Dustin Byfuglien trade and signing Brandon Pirri to a pro contract after just one year at college, the Chicago Blackhawks have added a potent pair of prospects to their top farm club -- the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL.
The Hawks also snagged a first- and second-round pick in the Byfuglien deal, too, which they used to draft Kevin Hayes and Justin Holl. Not slagging any of the players Chicago gave up, but when you're operating from a compromised position like the Hawks were, that's a great return. (Brent Sopel, Akim Aliu and Ben Eager were the other players Chicago gave up in that deal.)
Morin and Pirri have both impressed this summer. Pirri added some much-needed muscle and Morin came very close to making the Hawks as a 19-year-old.
Because of their new address, and their good showing at training camp, both have climbed the ladder on the Dobber top 215 Prospects List. Pirri has climbed from 146 to 68 on the while Morin has climbed from 61 to 45. Both should be owned in keeper leagues, so if they're not owned in your league, make a point of getting them. For those in leagues where such details matter for draft eligibility, Pirri has played one game this season.
Both are off to quick starts with the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL – but more importantly they are getting power-play time. They are offensive players and they need to play on the power play to develop their skills to become productive NHLers.
It seems like common sense, but not all NHL teams get this and make sure their farm teams are grooming prospects for the big leagues.
Morin is a winger who is a natural sniper and was one of the top pure goal scorers in the 2009 draft along with John Tavares, Brayden Schenn, Landon Ferraro, and Chris Kreider. He can score in any league and his 47 goals in 58 games for Kitchener last season is a true indication of his ability. Despite his nickname – Jet – he is not a fast skater, but that is not something that he relies on to create scoring opportunities for himself. His skating might hold him back a bit in some parts of the game, but he will find ways to score in the NHL.
Pirri oozes skill and the puck seems to follow him around. Of course, what that means is that he has great hockey sense and anticipation. When he has the puck, he patiently sorts out his options. He has great vision to increase his options and great passing ability to capitalize on them. He uses a good change of pace to open up space and has a good skating stride. He put on enough weight this past summer that he was able to forgo his last three years of college and jump to the pro game.
Upsides: Morin, 45-30-75+, 60 PIM; Pirri 25-55-80, 40 PIM

Welcome to FireModels.org
The fire behavior and fire danger systems described on FireModels.org are public domain and most can be downloaded from this site. They are designed to be used by fire and land managers who have training and fire experience. Some require spatial databases. WFAS is an internet-based system that provides fire danger maps that can be viewed by the general public as well as by land managers. An overview of each system is given below.
National Systems are supported by U.S Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management. The researchers and contractors who developed them continue to be involved. Research Systems are in the development, testing, and evaluation stage, involving researchers at the Missoula Fire Sciences Lab. Beta versions of the research systems may be available for testing. For additional information on a specific system, please see the appropriate web page (accessed via the main menu at the top of the page).
These systems are a result of a productive cooperative effort on the part of:
National Fire Behavior Systems
The following fire behavior systems are based on essentially the same mathematical fire models, are complementary, and are suited to different fire management needs. Please view the Fire Behavior System Comparison Table for details on general similarities and differences. Fire behavior systems produce specific elements of a fire (spread rate, perimeter, flame length, scorch height, etc.) whereas fire danger systems produce indices.
National Fire Danger Systems
The U.S. National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) produces indices such as Energy Release Component (ERC) that indicate the potential for fire activity. (There is not a computer program called NFDRS.)
Research Systems Under Development
As new research is completed, results will be incorporated into fire behavior and fire danger systems.
Research and Development Continues...
