Abstract:
For SQL Server 2014 a completely new In-Memory Engine for memory optimized table indexes was integrated into SQL Server with in fact very limited functionality. For SQL Server 2016 the In-Memory engine is being extensively improved in terms of both scalability as well as T-SQL language support. Moreover the ColumnStore index technology has been improved and can now even be combined with memory-optimized tables. In this session, Microsoft Certified Master Andreas Wolter, will provide an overview of the new possibilities and demonstrate where a particular technology may help – or where you cannot expect benefits. If you are planning to go on SQL Server 2016 any time soon, this session shows you two of the most important features that SQL Server 2016 brings.
Speaker(s): Andreas Wolter,
Abstract:
Got tables with millions or billions of rows but can't truncate or archive to reduce their sizes? How is that affecting your maintenance window, performance and availability? Is your CIO/CFO mandating DBAs to leverage "cheap", "elastic compute/storage capacity" and "infinite scale" capabilities of the cloud after reading the glossy brochures? Do your users want all data, including cold/archive data always online? All this while IT budgets remain flat or are being reduced? Find out how StretchDB can help solve some of these problems by leveraging Azure without requiring application changes in most cases. We will cover core StretchDB scenarios, recommended use cases and non-use cases. We walk through key tasks involved in enabling a database for stretch, query behavior, security model and impact to existing high availability and disaster recovery processes. We will then review existing limitations, workarounds and some recommended practices based on lessons learned from early adopters.
Speaker(s): Joe Yong,
Abstract:
Power BI is a cloud-based business analytics service that enables anyone to visualize and analyze data with greater speed, efficiency, and understanding. It connects users to a broad range of live data through easy-to-use dashboards, provides interactive reports, and delivers compelling visualizations that bring data to life. In this session we will cover: - Power BI Architecture - Power BI Security - Power BI Desktop Service - Data Cleansing and Data Modelling capabilities - How to create Dashboards and Reports - Collaboration Sharing - Natural Language Query Support - Data Gateway - The session is also complimented with end-to-end demo.
Speaker(s): Harminder Sethi,
Abstract:
Automated and repeatable test cases are required for agile software development. In this session we will look at some of the tools and techniques for automated testing with SQL Server. Demonstrations during the session will create tests using the Visual Studio toolset and discuss how they can be used for Test Driven Development (TDD), unit testing, integration testing and acceptance testing. The presentation will cover testing SQL Server Databases, SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server Integration Services. Following the session attendees will be able to incorporate these tools and practices into their projects.
Speaker(s): Stefan Riedel,
Abstract:
Bleed Bright Blue for the clouds in the Sky. Yes I would be presenting Microsoft Azure and how SQL Server DBA's can benefit with Azure as your platform. This session would introduce you to Microsoft SQL Azure and helps to put Production DBA's mind at ease that their jobs will not be going away with Azure. This session would give a complete clarity and good foundation of where to start and what would be the next step with the Azure. It would cover on how to plan for Azure and demonstrate on DTU Calculator on Azure suitability and also important tools that are very handy and crucial to understand.
Speaker(s): Krishna Deepak Chamana,
Abstract:
“OMG! What did I do?” Chances are you have heard, or even uttered, this expression. This demo-oriented session will show many examples where database professionals were dumbfounded by their own mistakes, and could even bring back memories of your own early DBA days. The goal of this session is to expose the small details that can be dangerous to the production environment and SQL Server as a whole, as well as talk about worst practices and how to avoid them. In this session we will focus on some of the common errors and their resolution. Developers will walk out with scripts and knowledge that can be applied to their servers, immediately post the session.
Speaker(s): Pinal Dave,
Abstract:
ORMs - oh how I LOVE them! As a consultant when I see them in play at a client I go KACHIIINNNNGGGG!! :-D Seriously though, they can provide some substantial benefits for coding throughput. But if you don't Read The Fine Manual and do some things right and avoid some major gotchas you will fall prey to one of my favorite Guruisms: "Anything that allows developers to slap code together more quickly is inversely proportional to the performance and scalability you will get from that code"! Although this talk is based on Entity Framework, most ORMs suffer from a lot of the same flaws.
Speaker(s): Kevin Boles,
Abstract:
What are these DATA Scientists up to? How can we see their statistical model in our day to day familiar tool like Microsoft SQL Server? You now have answers to these questions and thanks to Microsoft for integrating R Revolution within new SQL Server 2016. We all now have the opportunity to use R packages and see the results within SQL 2016. In this session, you will definitely take away a breakthrough concept of Advanced R Analytics within SQL 2016 and get ready to kick your creative horse, and go beyond your imagination on how you can build advanced analytics and impress your employers/customers.
Speaker(s): Dr. Subramani Paramasivam,
Abstract:
We are going to examine a variety of oopsies MANY developers fall prey too - some obvious, some pretty subtle and some down right sneaky! Lots of code examples with the bad AND good code presented. I GUARANTEE that you will find things here that will either prevent you from getting bad data, throwing unwanted errors or vastly improving your database application's performance. I have given this talk over SEVENTY times now and it is always very highly rated!
Speaker(s): Kevin Boles,
Abstract:
In this session James will use his experience building large cubes for large organisations and show how you can optimise all aspects of the process - preparing data for load, processing tips and how to get the thing to perform as users expect.
Speaker(s): James Beresford,
Abstract:
SQL Server Reporting Services has really come a long way with great changes and overhauls. New capabilities features introduced with release of SQL Server 2016 are just amazing. In this session, we would touch base some of the top features capabilities offered by SSRS 2016. We will see how much we can do with it to make our Reporting simple and powerful.
Speaker(s): Khilitchandra Prajapati,
Abstract:
Compliance and auditing are some of the core tenants around which SQL Server based applications can be built. But understanding the intracacies of each of these fundamentals is critical to both developers and administrators alike. Come to this fun filled, demo centric and interesting session where we unearth some of these fine prints in understanding why we use SQL Server the way we use it and build the system is the most secure and locked down mode. Some of the enhancements with SQL Server 2016 make it even more compelling to look at SQL Server from a security standpoint.
Speaker(s): Vinod Kumar M,
Abstract:
During query optimization, SQL Server is looking for queries or index operations that might benefit from parallel execution. This session will give you a better understanding of parallelism in SQL Server. The default server configurations are no longer enough for controlling parallelism, as a DBA, you need to know how to tweak the settings to make it run optimally. When parallelism goes wrong, it can cause performance problems to SQL Server. Sometimes only for a particular query, sometimes it can hurt performance server-wide. What is best practices to MAXDOP.
Speaker(s): Dharmendra Keshari,
Abstract:
With all the capabilities required to make life for developers, data scientists, and analysts a tad simpler this session will investigate how we can use Azure Data Lake to store data of any size, shape and speed, and do all types of processing and analytics across platforms and languages. A demo rich session we will see how we can use Azure Data Lake to solve many of the productivity and scalability challenges that prevent you from maximizing the value of your data assets.
Speaker(s): Glenn Morris,
Abstract:
In this session we'll dig into the internal structures of indexes. We will look at how SQL Server Navigates through the index. We'll look at the various types of pages within the index and how SQL Server uses these different pages to access your data. We'll look at what happens within the index as data changes. There will be lots of demos using undocumented commands as we dive into the depths of the database pages.

--- layout: post title: CouchDB monitoring with monit - really working! date: '2012-09-19T21:18:08+02:00' tags: - couchdb - monit - heart category: 'CouchDB' tumblr_url: http://andywenk.tumblr.com/post/31872057319/couchdb-monitoring-with-monit-really-working ---
Moin Moin,
I have decided to use the latest development version of CouchDB (1.3.0a-272d641-git) on my machine. I am using CouchDB in a shop system to store user like contact requests. Nothing dramatical important.
Since a lot of different software is running on this machine which is important for that shop and it’s availability is essential (like elasticsearch), I decided to use Monit for monitoring and alerting.
Unfortunately I could not get it working with CouchDB. And - surprise, surprise - CouchDB stopped working from time to time (btw - especially version 1.3.0a-72ea7e3-git). I had many approaches and I am aware that a correctly configured Erlang installation should fix the problem, because “heart” is taking the monitoring job for CouchDB. But - it still crashed.
So now I am glad that I got it fixed and finally, it’s dead simple. Her is the (or better my, for me working) solution:
check process couchdb with pidfile /usr/local/var/run/couchdb/couchdb.pid
group database
start program = "/etc/init.d/couchdb start -u couchdb"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/couchdb stop -u couchdb"
if failed host <IP_ADDRESS> port 5984 then restart
if cpu is greater than 40% for 2 cycles then alert
if cpu > 60% for 5 cycles then restart
if 10 restarts within 10 cycles then timeout
This is the content of the file /etc/monit/conf.d/couchdb.conf and the most important parts are:
So if you have trouble with this and just found old or not for you working examples in the w3, check this one ;-)
Cheers
Andy


The best vegetable gardens for kids provide healthy snacks while kids are on the go‚ as well as opportunities to learn about how food grows. Think of it as a healthy and ever-fresh lunchbox planted within the kids’ play space.
The kids vegetable garden is all theirs to experiment with and develop gardening skills that will be useful for life. While they care for their plants they learn about the food cycle‚ the workings of nature and how to care for the Earth.
The ideal position for the kids’ vegetable garden is in their play area. That’s their space‚ and helps them recognise the veggie patch as theirs. Having the vegetable garden in their playspace also means they can snack on what’s growing‚ fresh and direct from the garden.
Your kids will be able to conveniently work on their garden‚ make observations about what’s growing well and what needs some help and take care of watering and weeding as an extension of their play activities.
Unless you have to protect the kids’ vegetable patch from wildlife or pets‚ leave it unfenced so kids can get to it easily. If you need to use a fence‚ try to install a gate that the kids can manage to open by themselves.
Try to position the kids vegetable garden so that they can access it from all sides. Don’t make the garden bed too wide‚ remember that little arms should be able to reach the center of the vegetable patch from each of the edges. Of course you can make the bed longer‚ but try to keep it less than 1.2m-1.5m wide. Otherwise it will be tempting for kids to walk into the vegetable patch and compress the soil.
Using a raised garden bed or an old bathtub planter lifts the height of the vegetable bed. This makes it easier for children to reach into the garden to work on or harvest their veggies. A raised vegetable patch has the added advantages of being more clearly defined (and easier to keep tidy) and better protected from other play activities.
Give the kids ownership and responsibility for their vegetable garden. The kids should help select which vegetables are grown‚ even if you encourage them to select varieties that can be picked continuously and don’t have poisonous leaves.
Allow the children to pick ripe vegetables freely‚ as long as they actually eat them and don’t waste them. Ask permission before you raid the kids’ vegetable patch for the family dinner – they will probably feel proud to contribute‚ but checking with them first demonstrates that you respect the efforts they’re making in their veggie patch.
As they’re also responsible for the vegetable patch‚ teach kids to watch for changes in the plants so they can attend to their needs. Even younger children can be encouraged to watch for wilting leaves that show a plant needs water and check for ripe vegetables and fruit that are ready to harvest before the birds get to them.
A note about picking for pets – I believe this encourages a sharing‚ caring attitude and I’m all for it. Kids can pick and share lettuce and silverbeet leaves with pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs. The idea of planting a few extra plants for the birds‚ slugs and bugs is also healthy. Even if you think it’s a waste of fresh veggies‚ let the kids decide.
The kids’ vegetable garden should comprise varieties that provide easy and safe picking. Options include lettuces‚ silverbeet‚ snowpeas‚ strawberries‚ beans‚ sugarsnap peas‚ carrots‚ blueberries‚ cucumbers and melons. You could also include kid-friendly herbs like mint‚ lemonbalm and catnip. Nasturtiums and marigolds have bright flowers that can be eaten and will also deter pests from the vegetable garden.
If you have older children who can be warned about avoiding eating the poisonous leaves of the nightshade family of plants‚ cherry tomatoes are also a winner‚ especially picked warm and juicy towards the end of Summer.
Part of the fun of vegetable gardening with children is discovering different vegetables you can grow and taste‚ and working out what grows well in your climate.
It’s a good idea to mix a few old favourites in with experimental plantings. There are numerous heirloom varieties that can add interest to the vegetable garden. So when you think of planting lettuce and you think of supermarket iceberg‚ you could also be planting nutty and leafy Great Oaks or red and spicy Flame. Instead of green beans you can plant purple or yellow ones.
Feeling sceptical about how hands-on your kids can really be in the garden? Look at it this way‚ the sooner they start to learn the earlier they’ll be able to work independently.
Want capable kids? Work alongside them as they develop the knowledge and skills to do the following gardening activities for kids. Basically‚ if you help them early‚ as soon as they attain the ability level necessary to practice what you’ve taught them without your support‚ they will.
Don’t underestimate your kids either. Toddlers can share most of the above tasks in some way or another. Even if their ’plans’ look like scribble and their ’weeding’ can be somewhat ad-hoc‚ they are learning and feeling valued. (Their watering skills are extremely well developed!)
Try to restrain yourself from doing the work for them. You might find it difficult to ignore obvious problems but once you’ve brought issues to your kids’ attention‚ leave action to them.
One key reason to encourage vegetable gardening for kids is that your children will learn about the consequences of their care or lack of care for their plants. Better they learn through the vegetable patch than the ancient growth forests!
Always remember too that they are going to love this time with you‚ and learning alongside you. Don’t rush tasks‚ give yourselves plenty of time to be zen about gardening processes and feel the love.
Kids are able to use trowels and forks that have been designed for adults‚ but smaller handles and spades are easier for them to grip and wield. Kids gardening tools are usually brightly colored with cheerful patterns or smiley faces on them. With their own distinct tools‚ kids can also become responsible for cleaning and properly putting them away.
So‚ apart from survival skills‚ healthy play snacks and planet-nurturing attitudes‚ what are your kids going to get out of all this? Dedicated vegetable gardens for kids enable a wonderful sensory experience within a safe and playful environment. Think about building up a raised garden bed in your back yard‚ and making it the kids vegetable garden. They’ll love it.

A video with over five million views shows a woman miraculously surviving a train run-over. At first, it simply looks like a video of a train passing by. But as soon as the 42 bogeys disappear from the frame, a woman - who had been lying on the tracks all this while - gets up and is ushered away by other passengers on the platform.
The video trended on YouTube after it was shared on February 21. While it remains unclear how the woman landed on the tracks, another woman can be heard saying that she fell while crossing them.
Well, good sense came to prevail because after falling, the woman laid completely still on the tracks and let the train pass over her. And that's how she survived!
Not only was she lucky but also extremely brave! Kudos to her and we hope she never lands herself in such a soup ever again.


Me and my crew had all heard about the plant we did not know how it really looked but we knew it was shaped like a bell. One day the homie ĎBosí said he had found it and there was about 25 other bushes. He showed me the plant and off I went. We snatched about 6 to 10 flowers Me, Wombat, Bosone, and Kelso we also brought a propane powered stove and a big pot and water.
I want to get high now so I drank it all.  Later I felt like I drank a bottle of whisky I felt so drunk it was fun at fist the walk home seemed short I remember getting home I went to my room I took a bite of a chicken I had left over from dinner when I tried to swallow it I choked on it my throat was so dry like cotton mouth but worse I felt so drunk that I got tired and I said to my self thatís it Iím done I laid down to sleep that was the worst mistake I ever made I donít remember waking up I had a flash back after and see my self walking right into the wall in my room but I donít remember nothing really only certain things.
My mom had seen me tripping see tells me that she asked me 'hey whatís wrong with you'?
I turned and looked at her and said donít worry about it and slammed the door in her face she ended up calling the cops because she didnít know what to do my older brother was there and my sister in law she said that she saw me in the rest room with conditioner all over my hands and face I was really tripping then.
By the time the cops showed up I was seeing things my eyes were all blurry I could not focus and one of cops told me hey do you know were youíre at? I said sure we are at the police station when we were in my front room then the cop asked me have a seat and of course said no but you see cops donít take no for an answer so he grabs a hold of me and sits me down I reacted and punched him right in the face. At that same moment I snapped out of it I heard my mom yell stop!! And my brother say the same the cop whips out his beating stick I remember seeing it click I heard it also from there my mom took me to the hospital with to cops as escorts but I donít remember the ride there but I recall some things like seeing rats every ware seeing objects and shapes and all this might seem fun but it wasnít because I didnít enjoy the high any ways I spent about 3 days tripping in the hospital the come down was sick I felt weak for 2 days.

Hi there! My name is Brittni Helms and welcome to my blog! Whenever a friend asks me for my go to meals, they are always shocked to hear that I seldomly cook the same dinner twice. Our family is about as adventurous as they come with our foods - they say that variety is the spice of life and I like it spicy!
On this blog, I will share my adventures in shaking things up in the kitchen and I hope it will spark a flame in yours as well! Every few days I will add a new recipe and the ones I post will run the gamut, from the savory to the sweet, the indulgent to the healthy, and from the comfy to the audacious. Also, my Instagram stories are usually filled with clips about the recipes I am making every day, so follow me so you can ask questions and cook along if you'd like!
To tell you a bit about myself, I was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and raised in a small town in Utah. When I married my husband, who was practically raised in a kitchen, the only cooking story I had involved undercooked chicken. After six years, literally moving from coast to coast to coast, two kids, and seven years of school, cooking is now my jam! While my husband might want to take the credit for teaching me everything I know, I got it all from the internet, so now is my chance to share what I've learned.

The Linux sound system, like most of Linux, has evolved from a simple system to a much more complex one. This chapter gives a high level overview of the components of the Linux sound system, and which bits are best used for which use cases.
The following diagram indicates the different layers:
At the bottom layer is the hardware itself, the audio device. These are the audio cards made by a variety of manufacturers, all with different capabilities, interfaces and prices. Just like any piece of hardware, in order for it to be visible and useful to the Operating System there must be a device driver. There are of courses thousands of device drivers written for Linux. Writing Linux device drivers is a speciality of itself, and there are dedicated sources for this, such as Linux Device Drivers, Third Edition by Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro Rubini, and Greg Kroah-Hartman.
Device drivers must have standardised APIs "at the top" so that users of the device have a known interface to code to. The OSS device driver API was used for audio devices until it was made closed source, at which point developers switched to the ALSA API. While OSS v4 has become open again, the ALSA interface is supported in the kernel while OSS is not.
Ideally, a device driver API should expose all of the features of hardware while not adding additional baggage. For audio, it is not always so easy to set boundaries for what an audio driver should do. For example, some sound cards will support mixing of analog signals from different sources, while others will not, and some sound cards will have MIDI synthesizers while others will not. If the API is to expose these capabilities for sound cards which support them, then it might have to supply them in software for those sound cards which do not.
There is a somewhat dated document on writing ALSA device drivers by Takashi Iwai
Linux is a multi-tasking, multi-threaded operating system. It is possible that concurrent processes might wish to write sounds to the audio cards concurrently. For example, a mail reader might wish to "ding" the user to report new mail, even if they are in the middle of a noisy computer game. This is distinct from sound card capabilities of being able to mix sounds from different ports, such as an HDMI input port and an analog input port. It requires the ability to mix (or otherwise manage) sounds from different processes. As an example of the subtlety of this, should the volume of each process be individually controllable, or should the destination port (headphones or speaker) be individually controllable?
Such capabilities are beyond the scope of a device driver. Linux resolves this by having "sound servers" which run above the device drivers and manage these more complex tasks. Above these will sit applications which talk to the sound server which in turn will pass the resultant digital signal to the device driver.
Here is where a significant difference occurs between sound servers. For professional audio systems the sound server must be able to process and route audio with the minimal amount of latency or other negative effects. For consumer audio, control over volumes and destinations may be more important than altency - you probably won't care if a new message "ding" takes an extra half-second. Between these may be other cases such as games requiring synchronisation of audio and visual effects, and Karaoke players requiring synchronisation of analog and digital sources.
The two major sound servers under Linux are Jack for professional audio and PulseAudio for consumer systems. They are designed for different use-cases and consequently offer different features.
Lennart Poettering in A Guide Through The Linux Sound API Jungle offers a good summary of these different use cases:
- I want to write a media-player-like application!
- Use GStreamer! (Unless your focus is only KDE in which cases Phonon might be an alternative.)
- I want to add event sounds to my application!
- Use libcanberra, install your sound files according to the XDG Sound Theming/Naming Specifications! (Unless your focus is only KDE in which case KNotify might be an alternative although it has a different focus.)
- I want to do professional audio programming, hard-disk recording, music synthesizing, MIDI interfacing!
- Use JACK and/or the full ALSA interface.
- I want to do basic PCM audio playback/capturing!
- Use the safe ALSA subset.
- I want to add sound to my game!
- Use the audio API of SDL for full-screen games, libcanberra for simple games with standard UIs such as Gtk+.
- I want to write a mixer application!
- Use the layer you want to support directly: if you want to support enhanced desktop software mixers, use the PulseAudio volume control APIs. If you want to support hardware mixers, use the ALSA mixer APIs.
- I want to write audio software for the plumbing layer!
- Use the full ALSA stack.
- I want to write audio software for embedded applications!
- For technical appliances usually the safe ALSA subset is a good choice, this however depends highly on your use-case.
The simple diagram I drew above hides the real complexities of Linux sound.
Mike Melanson (an Adobe engineer) in 2007 produced this diagram
The figure is not up-to-date: for example,
OSS is no longer a major part of Linux.
Some special-case complexities are, for example,
that PulseAudio sits above ALSA,
and it also sits below
ALSA as in this figure from
insane coding
:
(This diagram is upside-down compared to mine.)
The explanation is as follows:
Complex, yes, but is accomplishes tasks that wouild be difficult otherwise .
The architecture of Linux sound systems is complex, and new wrinkles are being added on a regular basis. However, this is the same for any audio system. Successive chapters will flesh out the detals of many of these components.

The night started off quite regularly. I had been riding in a beaten-up Mazda for several hours with my friend (let's call him Lex) trying to find the equipment to satisfy our plans for the day. The idea was: we'd have black lights galore, tons of rave toys to entertain ourselves with, ten hits of acid (naturally), and a few drug-driven movies to watch.
Shortly after meeting up with our friend at a pre-concert tailgate party at around 6 PM, we acquired our first and most important item...the acid. Something described to us as 'Pink Elephant' by the local dealers. It came on blotter paper and sealed in a ziploc bag. We were promptly instructed to keep it out of the light. Whether this was for protection of the acid, as they asserted, or protection of themselves, we didn't argue. I stuffed the acid into my back pocket and proceeded to buy a beer from one of the vendors. After perusing the event for about thirty minutes, we decided to leave and make the journey back to Boulder (my home town). Along the way, we called a few friends who had also planned to trip that night, with mushrooms being their substance of choice, to get the blacklights and glowsticks. With that taken care of, it was just a quick drive to Blockbuster and we were prepared.
Back at the apartment, Lex and myself proceeded to entertain our drug-crazed guests as best we could. Fortunately, given their state of mind, they would have been content trying to make conversation with a stapler, so we didn't need to strain ourselves. We decided to eat our shares of the acid on the spot, being that our friends were already warming up to their oncoming experience. After a bit of an argument over the sparse contents of our nearly emptied stomachs, we elected to take 500mg Vitamin-C pills, two at a time for the next several hours. Lex being the acid veteran, he insisted the vitamins would make for a better trip. I had no choice but to agree. After all, why trip if you're not going to TRIP?!?
The hour of seven found me in a state of daze, turntables rotating furiously as I attempted to cope with the rising jitters that accompanied the dose. The music in my headphones sounded unusually clear, and seemed to reverberate throughout my head. My extremities were noticeably numb, and the only thing bigger than my apprehension was the dumbstruck grin on my face. I was nervous. Not twitchy as one might expect, but I had never indulged in this quantity before. So, needless to say, I was excited to see what lay ahead.
As my watch passed eight(T+01:00), the sun was descending and so was my ability to commit to rationality. I felt as though someone was tugging at a string that ran down through the top of my head, and that was all there was to keep me on two feet. My body was vaguely responsive to my commands, but all the while I felt as though there were energy waves moving through me, dictating my motions. Tired of spinning and curious to explore my now less-familiar apartment, I threw LTJ Bukem into the player and slunk away to my bedroom.
As I had expected, the visuals were not wholly intense at this point, but I noticed that if I stared at certain objects for any length of time, they would bobble and shift slightly. I decided to stretch my tense muscles for a bit and attempt to meditate. After about ten minutes I deemed it a lost cause. I had been easily able to focus on previous mushroom trips, but my current state proved too energetic for me to remain calm.
After a few minutes spent in stark confusion, I resumed my activities in the living room. My friends were involved in a heated debate about how the smurfs should be politicians. Interesting, I thought, but hardly substantial. I loitered for a few minutes, unable to sit down, and then proceeded to aimlessly surf the internet for the next fourty minutes.
Just as I signed off, at about T+2:00, it hit. The torrential swirling replaced the overpowering glare of the computer screen with innumerable shades of iridescent colors that blew me back in the chair. I stared in awe as the bare wall shifted and shimmered, eventually turning to dust and fading from view. Excited and determined to experiment, I migrated to the bathroom, where I stared at my slightly shifting face until I was satisfied the reflection was, in fact, real. Next came the blacklit living room, where my fellow space cadets were occupied shooting nerf weapons at each other.
Fighting through the chaos, I decided to play a video game. My unfortunate choice was 'Sega GT' on the XBOX. I played for a half-hour, and six wrecked Audis later, decided to give up anything involving coordination. I instead went outside into the mellow summer air for a smoke, and watched the fading sunlight disappear behind the grey-shaded mountains. This was definitely a high point in the trip, as the slightly rotating clouds and varying reddish and purple hues captivated me. Once the sun had set, I went back inside to be greeted by two cloaked figures toting glowsticks and LED hand lights.
The display was intriguing. The spiralling light sources left trails that appeared several feet long. Being an avid raver, and having never seen glowsticks present such charisma, I was left speechless. All I could do was stand and stare. The lights seemed to carry a certain emotional connotation that changed with the shades. This is a difficult feeling to relate but basically, I was 'feeling' colors. Yellow elevated my apprehension, blue calmed me, green gave me a sense of energy, red made me uneasy, and white blinded me, leaving light-blue dots imprinted in my vision.
Though the lights were interesting, I decided it would be best if Lex and myself went for an excursion. The clock passed ten before we were ready, and we left the apartment with assurances echoing from the peanut gallery that they wouldn't 'fuck up the place.' This gave little comfort, but we were too energetic to be held back. We donned the cloaks that formerly were worn by the light show duo, and ventured out into the wild.
The scence in the parking lot was somewhat frightening. I wanted to talk to everyone, but knew that many wouldn't share my enthusiasm with hallucinogenics, and may end up reporting something to the authorities. This considered, we took the paved path that lead out to our local golf course.
We were two acid-tripping imbeciles stumbling around a driving range at 10:30 PM, in cloaks, no less. I felt awkward but somehow open. The next two hours were spent quite constructively, with discussion involving everything from political policies to the stupidity of the act we were indulging in. What followed has stayed with me for quite awhile. Lex turned to me briefly, a look of ardent enthusiasm on his face and exclaimed, 'Dude, you know what's an awesome word? GLOOP!!! It's like glop and soup combined! Doesn't that sound awesome?!?'
Now if I had been high, this may have triggered more of a response, but all I could do was smirk. I was amused, certainly, but I also couldn't help but fear for the sanity of mankind. I eventually succumbed to giggling and after five minutes, our conversation rotated exclusively around our newly created word. This could only have been upstaged (which it was) by our crusade to find and capture the missing 'moon nuggets,' which to any normal person would have resembled golf balls.
 To our surprise, the mushroom children were huddled on the floor, clinging to a few oversized bean bag chairs, watching 'Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.' Satisfied that our night had been a productive one thusfar, Lex and I joined in the ordeal and watched intently as the movie seemed to make less and less sense by the minute. By the time the movie ended, circa 2:20 AM, I could feel the acid beginning to wane in intensity. For the next several hours, we sat and watched the blinds covering the screen door, as we could discern rainbow-like patterns emerging from the cracks between them.
Time passed, and Lex proceeded to describe his surroundings. The black lights appeared to take the forms of shimmering purple skulls, as he described them, and he eventually began laughing at a vampire supposedly trapped inside an 'Ocean's 11' poster. I would have expected this to cause a bad trip, but he claimed to be far too happy to have complications. The darkness gradually relinquished its hold on us as the sunlight crept over the horizon. After smoking a few cigarettes and chatting about various subjects, being that we were the only ones left in the apartment, we decided to go to sleep, which proved more challenging a task than it sounded.
The next day was a bit hazy, and contrasts were enhanced, but otherwise I felt great. For that matter, I felt as if I had been somehow enhanced spiritually by the experience. Whether it was the moon nugget hunt, or the magical exploding wall, I couldn't be sure. One thing, though, I WAS sure of. Next time, I'm trying it at a rave. Should be interesting.

Paul Pierce Loses $100,000 Lawsuit Over "Racist" Altercation at UFC Fight
by VladTVIn the past, Paul Pierce accused a security guard of being racist during UFC 229 in October 2018, and the whole encounter was captured on video. Since then, Christopher Mostello filed suit against Pierce for defamation, and now a judge has ruled in favor of Mostello, ordering Pierce to pay $100,000 to him.
Mostello says because of Pierce’s allegation, his reputation took a hit and he’s been getting harassed ever since. The judge ruled in favor of Mostello because Pierce did not respond to the lawsuit.
