Mario Kart Arcade GP
Still trying to decide on what to ask for for Christmas? Well then, be glad you waited!
Namco and Nintendo have teamed up to bring a version of Mario Kart to the arcades — Mario Kart Arcade GP.
The game features the same Mario Kart mechanics you're used to with 24 courses and newly-added challenge stages. The arcade version will feature over 57 powerups, 40 of which are exclusive to the arcade version.
The dual cabinet arcade machine will allow two players to play. However, to truly experience Mario Kart, link up two cabinets for up to 4 players.
So next time your parents ask what you want for Christmas? Two Mario Kart Arcade GP systems of course. Each has a retail price of only $17,495.
Oh and you can race as Pac-Man now.

An eCommerce site that crashes seven times during the Christmas season being down for up to five hours each time it crashes is a site that loses a lot of money and reputation. It happened to one of our customers who told this story at our annual performance conference earlier this month. Among the several reasons that led to these crashes I want to share more details on one of them that I see more often with other websites as well. Load balancers on a round-robin instead of least-busy can easily lead to app server crashes caused by heap memory exhaustion. Let's dig into some details on how to identify these problems and how to avoid it.
The Symptom: Crashing Tomcat Instances
The website is deployed on six Tomcats with three front-end Apache Web Servers. During peak load hours individual Tomcat instances started showing growing response times and a growing number of requests in the Tomcat processing queue. After a while these instances crashed due to out-of-memory exceptions and with that also brought down the rest of the site as load couldn't be handled any more with the remaining servers. Figure 1 shows the actual flow of transactions through the system highlighting unevenly distributed response time in the application servers and functional errors being reported on all tiers (red-colored server icon):
Even with equally distributed load (Round Robin Load Balancer Setting) one of the Tomcats spiked in Response Time Contribution before crashing
Once the App Server started rejecting incoming connections we can observe the first ripple effect of errors. We can see a very high number of exceptions in the database layer, exceptions thrown between application tiers with the web app responding with HTTP 500s:
Within 30 minutes the application serves 43000 pages with an HTTP 500 Response correlating to Exceptions in the Database and Inter-Tier Communication
The Root Cause: Inefficient Database Statements and Connection Pool Usage
The exceptions caught in the Database Layer (JDBC) were already a very good hint of the root cause of this problem. A closer look at the Exceptions shows that connection pools are exhausted, which causes problems in the different components of the application:
Exhausted Connection Pool causes Exceptions that impact Data Access Layer as well as Widget Rendering
Looking at the performance breakdown by application layer reveals how much performance impact connection pooling has on the overall transaction response time:
Due to the connection pool problem a single request had to wait 3.8s on average to obtain a connection from the pool
Now - it was not only the size of the pool that was the problem - but - several very inefficient database statements that took long to execute for certain business transactions of the application. This caused the application server to hold on to the connection longer than normal. As the load balancer was configured with Round Robin the app server still got additional requests served. Eventually - just by the random nature of incoming requests - one app server received several of these requests that executed these inefficient database calls. Once the connection pool was exhausted the application started throwing exceptions that ultimately also led to a crash of the JVM. Once the first app server crashed, it didn't take too long to take the other app servers down as well.
The Solution: Optimizing App and Load Balancer
The problem was fixed by looking at the slowest database statements and optimizing them for performance by, e.g, adding indices on the database or making the SQL statements more efficient. They also optimized the pool size to accommodate the expected load during peak hours.
They started by optimizing SQL Statements that took long to execute and those that got executed several times within the same transaction
They also changed the load balancer setting from Round-Robin to Least-Busy, which was the preferred setting from the LB vendor but had simply forgotten to configure in the production environment.
The Result: Site Has Not Been Down Since
Since they made the changes to the application and the load balancer the site has never gone down since. Now - the next holiday season is coming up and they are ready for the next seasonal spikes. Even though they are really confident that everything will work without any problems, they learned their lesson and are approaching performance proactively through proper load testing.
Next Steps: Proactive Performance Management
The lesson learned was that these problems could have been found prior to the holiday shopping season by doing proper load testing. They did load testing before but never encountered this problem because of two reasons: 1) they didn't test using expected peak volumes for long enough sessions and 2) didn't use a tool that simulated real customer behavior variations (too few scripts and the scripts were too simple) that tested their highly interactive web site.
Their strategy for proactive performance management is that they:
- Perform load tests on the production system during low traffic hours (2 a.m.-6 a.m.), accepting the risk of minor sales losses in case of a crash, versus major sales losses during the holiday shopping season.
- Multiply the hourly load test volume by 2.5 since their actual peaks are 10 hours long.
- Use a load testing service that uses real browsers in different locations around the U.S.
- Use an APM solution that identifies problems within the application while running the load test.

When it comes to love, there are times when people just allow their logic to go right out the window. They find ways to justify their relationships with emotional logic. With emotional logic, there really is no logic and all decisions, are emotionally based, and make zero sense to the logical mind. By fabricating illogical reasons to stay stuck in unhealthy situations, people are refusing to view their relationships from a realistic place. When you think with your heart and emotions instead of with your brain and your logic, common sense is twisted into excuses you use to justify your bad love and relationship decisions. How do you know if you are using emotional logic to make decisions regarding your relationship? How do you move from a place of thinking with your heart toward logical thinking? Tonight we are talking about emotional logic and why using it just simply DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE!

Yalumba was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith, British migrant and English brewer, who had brought his family to Angaston seeking a new life. After purchasing a 30-acre parcel of land just beyond the southern-eastern boundary of Angaston, Smith and his son began planting the first vines by moonlight. Samuel named his patch "Yalumba" – aboriginal for "all the land around". Six generations and more than 150 years later Yalumba, Australia's oldest family owned winery, has grown in size and stature, embodying all that has made the Australian wine success story the envy of winemakers the world over. Yalumba wines have a style all of their own and each have been influenced by a diverse range of elements. Elements Yalumba likes to call 'the controllables', such as the Yalumba Vine Nursery and on-site cooperage – as well as other factors that cannot be emulated by any other winery.

Asia PacificThai soldiers killed in roadside bombings At least five soldiers killed and another five wounded in two roadside bombings in country's restive south. 10 Feb 2013 12:26 GMT | Asia Pacific, Thailand At least five soldiers were killed in the attack on a military truck in Yala province, police said [EPA]Five Thai soldiers have been killed and another five wounded in two roadside attacks in the country's southern provinces, police say. In one of the attacks, anti-state fighters detonated a car bomb on a road in Raman district in Yala province as a truck carrying six soldiers passed by early on Sunday, Police Major Torphan Pusanthia said. The fighters then opened fire on the soldiers, killing five of them, and took away the dead soldiers' rifles, he said. One wounded soldier was rushed to a hospital. The six soldiers were on their way to guard a group of local farmers on their way to work. In the other attack, fighters set off a bomb on a road in Ra Ngae district in Narathiwat province and wounded four soldiers, Police Colonel Jiradet Phrasawang said. He said the attackers hid an improvised bomb under the surface of the road and detonated it as a pickup truck carrying the soldiers passed by. Curfews possible More than 5,000 people have been killed in Thailand's three southernmost provinces since religious hardliners launched an armed movement against the government in 2004. Yingluck Shinawatra, Thailand's prime minister, said on Sunday that the government would examine whether curfews are needed in the restive south, especially in the areas where attacks frequently occur. "Authorities are looking into [the] details," Yingluck told reporters. "Any areas that are peaceful, we don't want to announce curfews, but any areas that remain problematic, we will look at it on a case-by-case basis." Officials from security agencies are scheduled to meet Friday to discuss safety measures for the southernmost provinces. Teachers, security officials and government representatives have all been targeted by the fighters, who have made no public announcement of their demands. The area used to be an Islamic sultanate until it was annexed by Thailand in the early 20th century. Muslims in Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and part of Songkhla provinces have long complained of discrimination by the Buddhist-dominated central government.Source: Agencies

T.J. Warren Was In Beast Mode Against Florida State
T.J. Warren, the star freshman for the North Carolina State Wolfpack, had his best performance of the season thus far. Last night against the Florida State Seminoles, Warren amassed 31 points, 13 rebounds and one steal in the lopsided 84-66 victory. Warren accomplished this feat while hitting 80 percent of his field goals (12 out of 15), 100 percent of his three-pointers and 100 percent of his free throws (five out of five) while not committing any turnovers.
Although Warren is a freshman, he does not play like one. He plays like he has been with N.C. State for more than one season. Against Florida State, he looked like the best player on the his team and maybe the entire court. C.J. Leslie was a pre-season ACC Player of the Year candidate. At times, Leslie shows flashes of brilliance, but so does Warren.
Warren actually does a better job of playing inside and out compared to Leslie. At 6'8″ and 233 pounds, he has a varied skill set that enables him to play three positions. At times during games, you will see him manning the small forward, power forward or center positions. However, most of his time is spent being a small forward of power forward.
Warren is in fact the 2013 version of Marvin Williams, who was a star small forward the 2005 North Carolina Tar Heels who won the national championship. N.C. State could very well be the national champions in April. They are that good, but so are 12 other teams.
Warren has had several other games where he showed how talented that he is. He has the potential to be a special player at N.C. State. If he stays in college for more than one season, he will have the opportunity to have an everlasting impact on a basketball program that "coulda-woulda-shoulda" been.

The Emperor's New Clothes (03/06/12)
We're all meant to love Pimm's, but Simmy Richman, picking the mint from his teeth, thinks otherwise
Though the weather will do its merry best to flummox all attempts at forecasting, there are still a few things one can safely predict about the Great British Summer: sporting hopes will be raised and dashed; airports will be chaos; wasps will spoil all attempts at al fresco dining, and the sound of jugs of Pimm's No 1 Cup gently clinking will be heard from the manicured lawns of Wimbledon to the picnic rugs of Henley and Glyndebourne.
Though initially associated with a chain of oyster bars for City gents, the drink that James Pimm perfected in 1840 to wash down shellfish has, in more recent times, become seen as a traditional seasonal indulgence. And at up to £20 a jug (Wimbledon), it is probably just as well that the British weather does not always shine as the bells of "Pimm's o'clock" chime.
But it is not just its price that earns Pimm's No 1 its place in the Emperor's New Clothes hall of shame. Because while the brand's 1980s TV ads recommended that all it took was "Pimm's, lemonade, ice and a slice" to create a "drink that's long on style", the standard jug of Pimm's since has taken to resembling a salad bar, with any old scraps of fruit and veg left lying around seen as fair game for this most "traditional" of British beverages.
And while its Alexander Armstrong-fronted adverts went to great pains to play on those "Hooray Henry" associations, the truth is that, since 2006, the Pimm's brand has been owned by Diageo, a company whose array of Dutch subsidiaries has enabled it to transfer billions of pounds away from Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs.
Ahead of this weekend's jubilee celebrations, Waitrose (and it would be Waitrose, wouldn't it?) reported that sales of these £14-a-pop bottles with the "secret recipe known to only six people", had risen by 260 per cent. That's an awful lot of people who are prepared to swallow the myth that drinking fruit punch is the height of sophistication. Which it undoubtedly is – if your idea of sophistication is staggering around with bits of mint stuck between your front teeth while not being able to focus because your host has miscalculated that 1:3 ratio.
