'Mental Health' is a state of emotional and psychological well-being. Mental illness is a disease like any other disease, such as diabetes. It affects the brain. Since the brain controls our feelings, thoughts and behaviour, mental illness can make people say, think or do things that they would not normally do.

Load testing in the cloud
Discover performance issues with your app before they impact your customers. Verify your app's capacity for the next launch or marketing campaign using cloud-based load testing with Visual Studio Online.
How does cloud-based load testing make this easy?
- Quick: Get a performance lab in the cloud in almost no time with just one click. Scale up or down based on your needs.
- App performance insights: Get a full view into server and client diagnostics when you simulate real-life load patterns on your app.
- Free monthly usage: Get 20,000 user minutes free every month to load test your app.
If you already have existing load tests, or you know how to create them using Visual Studio, jump ahead to configure your project to run load tests in the cloud.
Download and configure a sample load test
Use Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to create and run load tests in the cloud. If you don't have this or the latest Visual Studio 2013 update installed, download and install from here.
Download the sample load test project.
Extract the files and open the GettingStartedWithLoadTesting.sln.
Open the file SampleWebTest.webtest and replace the URL to use a web page for your app.
Save the solution.
Configure your project to run load tests in the cloud
If you're using the sample project, jump ahead to Connect to your Visual Studio Online account. If you have existing load tests that you created using Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012, just open your existing project in Visual Studio 2013 first.
Edit the test settings file to configure your project to run your tests using Visual Studio Online. (Only load tests can be run in the cloud.)
You don't have to connect to Visual Studio Online with Visual Studio until you're ready to run the load test.
Connect to your Visual Studio Online account
Before you can run your load tests in the cloud, you must connect to your Visual Studio Online account. (If your team doesn't already have a Visual Studio Online account, create it first.)
Connect to your Visual Studio Online account from Visual Studio Team Explorer.
View the list of available team projects.
If you haven't connected to your Visual Studio Online account before, then you need to add it to your list.
Enter the name for your account: [youraccount].visualstudio.com.
If you're prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account, go ahead and do that.
Select the server from the list and then select your team project. Now you can connect.
Run and analyze your load test
From your solution in Solution Explorer, open the load test that you want to run.
Run the load test in the cloud using Visual Studio Online.
You can see when your test is in the queue for the service.
When your load test is ready to be run, the test status changes to: Acquiring resources. For a large test run this can take up to ten minutes while the service does the hard work of setting up machines and agents for you.
When the test is running, you can see the performance graph. Choose details to see any errors, warnings or other information related to your load test run.
You can also view the throughput graph.
After the load test is finished, you can download the report.
When it has downloaded, you can view the report.
The results for the completed test includes performance counter data, threshold violations, and error information.
Choose the detail view. By analyzing the step load pattern for users, you can identify the user count where your performance fails to meet your requirements.
Fix any performance issues in your application's code and rerun the test. You can also refine your test to better simulate real-world loads by specifying various web performance test properties, load test scenario properties and run settings properties.
View your load test runs at any time
Open Load Test Manager to view past load test runs or currently running load tests. (You must have a web performance and load test project open to do this.)
Now you can view any load test runs started by any member of your team.
You can filter out the test runs that you see by state, date, or user who created the test run.
Get performance data from Application Insights
When you run load tests for your app using Visual Studio Online, you can also get performance data by using Application Insights. By correlating load and performance data together, you get more insight into any performance issues that you find. Then you can run a quick root cause analysis using Application Insights, too.
If you're using Application Insights with Visual Studio Online, continue with these steps. Otherwise, if you're new to Application Insights, or if you're using Application Insights with Azure, contact firstname.lastname@example.com to get instructions.
Install Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, if you haven't already.
If you haven't set up monitoring for your app with Application Insights, do that first. You must use the same Microsoft account to monitor your app and run your load test with Visual Studio Online.
Open your load test in Visual Studio.
Add applications to get performance data from Application Insights.
Select the applications that you want to monitor and the counters that you want to view when your load test runs.
When your load test runs, you can view the performance data from Application Insights. There may be a delay of a few minutes before this data is displayed.
Application counters are correlated with the user load so that you can understand what issues may be causing any performance problems that you find.
Go to Application Insights if you need to do a more detailed analysis of any performance issue or to do a quick root cause analysis.
Q&A (Cloud-based load testing)
Q:How do I learn more about cloud-based load testing?
A:Watch this video, or check out the links on this blog here.
Q:Can I use cloud-based load testing to test any internal web site?
A:No. You cannot use a web site that is only available internally to your company. For example, an internal staging or preproduction deployment. However, you can open up the endpoint for your web site for limited IP addresses or users to work with cloud-based load testing. Or you can run a load test locally using Visual Studio.
Q:What are test agents and why do I need them?
A:Test agents simulate the load on your web site by creating virtual users. You might need to use more agents, depending on your load test and the number of virtual users that you require. Your agent count (total cores) can't exceed 100, and your ratio of virtual users to agents must be 25 or more.
For example, increase the number of agents that you're using, if you're getting status messages that an agent stopped working due to load, or if the downloaded report shows high CPU use for an agent.
If you run a test with 40 virtual users and 2 agents, the ratio is 20. This is too low, so increase the number of virtual users or reduce the number of agents. If you use the default value of 0, this ratio is not applied.
Q:Are there any limits on virtual users when running cloud-based load tests?
A:Yes. The limit is 20,000 virtual user minutes per month. If you need more virtual user minutes for your load testing, have your account owner get additional resources for your Visual Studio Online account. The account will be charged for any virtual user minutes that you use above this limit each month.
Q:How can I run load tests locally and in the cloud from the same project?
A:You can have multiple test settings in a project. Add another test settings to the solution items folder. Now you can use one to run your tests locally and the other to run your load tests in the cloud. To switch between them, use the context menu to set the appropriate test settings to be active.
Q:Can load tests use other test types in their test mix besides web performance tests?
A:Yes, you can include unit tests and coded web tests. But coded UI tests are not supported with cloud-based load testing.
Q:Can I debug a load test while it's running in the cloud?
A:No. You need to run a load test locally to debug it.
Q:Can virtual users simulate pausing between test steps?
A:Yes, you can specify think times. Choose a scenario in your load test and edit the think time in the Properties view.
Q:When I download my load test report, where is it stored?
A:There is a local SQL express database where the downloaded reports are stored. You can change the default location if you want. Change the location for each user to the same database if you want to store all the reports together.
Q:Are there any load testing features that are not supported when you run a load test using cloud-based load testing?
A:These features are not currently supported:
- Goal-based load patterns
- Iteration-based runs
- Network mix property
- Warm up and cool down time
- Agent to Use in test settings - use the core count property instead
- SQL Trace properties in run settings
- IP switching
Q:Having problems running your load tests in the cloud?
A:Check out the latest troubleshooting advice.
Q:Where do I get more information about simulating real-world loads?
A:Find out more about how to specify web performance test properties, load test scenario properties and run settings properties.
Q&A (Get performance data from Application Insights)
Q:Can I view data from other application monitoring tools when I run load tests in the cloud?
Q:Can I increase the frequency used to collect the counters?
A:No. This is currently a fixed frequency of 1 minute.
Q:I don't see any counters even after waiting a few minutes. What's wrong?
A:Go to Application Insights and check that you can view performance data for the application there. If there is data collected there, report your issue to firstname.lastname@example.com. If there is no data, go here for troubleshooting help with Application Insights.

turning cement screws into dragonflies
At the apartment complex where 2 of my DD's live, the outdoor stair railings were replaced this past summer with sturdier railings. As usual, the old cement screws were tossed under the stairs. They are about 5 inches long and, of course, I had to rescue one pile.
I turned them into sparkling dragonflies.
I turned a few more large screws and bolts into dragonflies, too.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with so many, but it was fun making them. - Laura
concreteprimroses suggested on the aluminum can flower thread about attaching a clip to the flowers to attach to branches. And I automatically thought that would be great to do with these dragonflies as well.
Funny how I saw these dragonflies and thought "cute, but what would I do with them". But then the suggestion of adding clips makes me think "I gotta get me some screws and start making these"! It's all about perception!
What kind of a clip should I be looking for? A Wooden clothesline clip? Something else?
Thank you for sharing your great ideas..I needed something to do with my grandchildren over vacation and this fit the bill..We had a blast creating wonderful flying bugs to hang in their trees at home, and some for my patio trees. GREAT! ( Very cost effective too)
Oh, if you could see those dragonflies now. I'll take pictures later, but believe me, they are no longer pretty. We had a terrible, terrible storm here a couple of weeks ago. There was a funnel cloud that was spotted & photographed, but didn't actually touch ground. We got 15 inches of nickel-size hail stones during a period of about 45 minutes and wind so loud we couldn't hear each other speak without shouting. Then we had 6 hours of torrential rains. My daughter has $9000. worth of damage to her car. Many cars destroyed. Countless windows blown out, asphalt & sheet metal roofs stripped off. Spanish tile roofs shattered like glass. My poor little junk garden didn't fare well at all, but I'm starting to put it back together. We will be getting a new roof soon. We all survived with no injuries. They say this storm, that came with NO warning, did more damage to this community than any hurricane has ever done.

It's unlikely that you can read or watch your favorite news source and not hear something on the subject of bullying. Here are some of the most common myths about bullying and why it happens.
When you spot a marked sense of entitlement or a drive for superior status in a potential relationship partner, it's a good time to be cautious.

So, I've been brewing for some years now, and one part of the process I always wish was more care-free, was getting water to strike temp. Sure if you have some level of automation, this is easy. If you don't you have to essentially watch a pot until your thermometer meets your magic temp. Of course a heated mass of water has a kind of heat inertia, so if you cut your heat as soon as that temp is hit, you will likely overshoot mash temp. I find it needlessly fiddly and annoying, even though these days I nearly always hit my temp.
I was thinking about how German brewers hit mash temps without thermometers, by knowing the volume of boiling water to mix with well water to hit the temp they knew worked. (Or at least that's the fable I've been told)
It seems to me, that if we had a simple calculator, we could determine that if boiling is X, and our tap temp is Y, and we need Z amount of water in the mash, we need whatever volumes of each.
Then on brew day, all you'd need to do it put your quantity of water for the boil in your kettle, and start heating. When you reached boil, you just pour your tap water in the kettle and you're at strike temp. Seems way easier, carefree, and likely more accurate, than watching a needle for a half hour.
Is there any reason we don't do this? If there was a calculator that did this I don't think I'd ever go back to the way I do it now.
Oh and I just did a calculation, the water ratio to get a strike temp of 168, is 8:3, boiling to 65F water.
Firstly, if you use a ratio of 8 parts 212F water to 3 parts 65F water, you will get a strike temp of 172F, not 168.
To get a strike temp of 158F, you would need a ratio of 8:3.4
So assuming I need 13.75 qt strike water, I can measure out 13.75 qt, and put it in the kettle to heat, and check the thermometer, or I can measure 13.75 qt / 11.4 * 8 = 9.65 qt and put it on to boil, and measure 13.75 qt / 11.4 * 3.4 = 4.1 qt of cold water. Incidentally, this does not take into account the thermal mass of the kettle which will be pre-heated to boiling point and which will cause a higher temp than estimated.
Personally, I think I could get better accuracy by measuring 13.75 qt (which I can do easily) and reading the thermometer, than trying to judge 9.65 qt and 4.1 qt (which I cannot do accurately).
There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.
Or you can buy the $20 digital thermo on my site and set the temp alarm to 168F.
Welcome to BrewHardware.com. I love you.New 100% Stainless Steel Heating Elements are IN! ULWD 5500w Ripple, 2000w, 1500w, etcChugger Pumps, Pump Kits, Camlocks, Sightglasses, Clear USA made Silicone Tubing, RIMS, Electric Install Parts, etc.
I mean, I've used digital thermometers with alarms, but by the time it goes off, you've overshot by a few degrees, an a few degrees more if you were in the next room pulling a pint.
I'm constantly multitasking and overshooting strike temp. Then I have to nanny it back to the right temp before doughing in. The problem is the temp you get from a thermometer is one in flux, unless you regulate the heat until it stays constant for a minute or so.
Boiling, your tap water (or whatever) temp is constant. The thermal mass of the kettle is constant, the temp drop between the kettle and the dough in is (relatively) constant. It just seems that if you know all that you could hit strike temp every time without even trying by taking advantage of the constants. With the right calculator this process is easier than what most of us currently do.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can easily have water come up higher than the 212 it takes to start boiling. Hitting that exact mark for your calculations to be correct could be just as hard as hitting strike temp. Also I think that adding cold water would produce a lot more steam which would also throw off the calculations a bit
Even still, the hottest your setup can heat will be a relative constant. Once you've done it once, you'll know what that is. Also I imagine the temp inertia will be much less at the edge of your burner's power. Meaning, the closer you are to max heat, the less drift you'd experience. (Theoretically of course).
Not sure about the steam, but still I think whatever difference you'd experience would be relatively constant. Like the kettle's thermal mass.
I'm going to experiment with this I think. At worst it will be as tedious as doing it in the usual way. If results are good, I'll see about making a calculator for it.
Sure you could use a mix of boiling water and cool water in proportion and achieve proper mash temps, but even a cheap digital thermo is easier and more accurate and convenient IMHO. Hell, I have even come to realize that there are visual indications of when or strike water or a mash is at the proper temp. For that matter, just simply mash in low, and slowly heat the mash to carry you threw the proper conversion temperatures and you likely will make fine beer...
It just seems like more trouble than it's worth to try and mix water and hit a temperature.
You're cold water isn't going to be the same every time you brew, your strike water temperature will vary based on the temperature in quantity of grain, and you would have to make sure and have your measurements perfect.
When you go to check the temperature to make sure you hit it, you're going to probably drop it degree or two while you try and stir it up enough to get an accurate reading.
You would wind up with far more variables than just heating the water to strike temperature.
After doing it a few times a guy should know about how long it takes, keep yourself busy and you keep watching the thermometer.
Let's see if I keep this updated!

It seems like way more work as others have stated.
You still have to measure the water temperature of the cold water or else your calculation is going to be way off.
Why not just measure the temperature of the strike water? I usually go 2-3F over what they say it should be, so i dump it into my mash tun and stir the hell out of it for 2-3 minutes until it drops down.

Courtney Love Wins Twitter Defamation Trial
After eight days of testimony, the singer prevails in a trailblazing case.
On Friday, a California jury decided that Courtney Love shouldn't be held liable for a tweet directed at her former attorney Rhonda Holmes.
The case is believed to be the first trial in a U.S. courtroom involving allegations of defamation on Twitter. Holmes was hired by Love to handle a fraud case against those managing the estate of Kurt Cobain, but in 2009, the relationship between the colorful rock star and her ex-attorney went south, and Love composed a tweet that read in part, "I was f***ing devestated [sic] when Rhonda J. Holmes esq. of san diego was bought off."
Holmes sued, claiming the tweet had hurt her reputation.
STORY: Highlights From Courtney Love's Testimony at 'Twibel' Trial
Because the attorney was deemed to be a limited-purpose public figure as a result of her connection to a celebrity, Holmes needed to demonstrate that Love acted with malice. Love defended herself by saying she meant the tweet to be a private direct message, and when she learned it had been sent to the public accidentally, quickly deleted it.
Love also testified that she believed her message to be true when she sent it. That might have been the prevailing defense. The jury answered no to the question, "Did Rhonda Holmes prove by clear and convincing evidence that Courtney Love knew it was false or doubted the truth of it?"
Love wasn't present for the reading of the verdict. She reportedly showed up late to court.
The trial took eight days and featured the testimony of many who knew Love. There were also social media experts who took the witness stand including one hired by Love who said there was no evidence that Love's "bought off" tweet had ever been retweeted. Love herself testified to the jury and expressed disappointment in Holmes after the attorney had once stood by her side when nobody believed that a conspiracy had been perpetuated on Cobain's estate.
Ultimately, the jury determined that Holmes had not made a case for defamation, meaning it will be up to another jury in some future case to figure out how to assess damages in the age of social media. In fact, it might involve Love herself as she's facing yet another defamation trial in a lawsuit brought by fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir. This one addresses what Love had to say on Pinterest.
