A fourteen kilometre stretch of fine golden sand merging into the azure blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, facing the greatest coral reef in the world and with the lush backdrop of a world heritage rainforest, Mission Beach lies halfway between Cairns and Townsville, the two major cities in North Queensland. It is in this unspoilt tropical paradise that two World Heritage areas, The Great Barrier Reef, and The Wet Tropics Rainforest meet.
Wedged between an azure blue ocean of warm, sparkling waters, and a lush, verdant backdrop of tropical rainforest, and, as a portal to a wonderland of tropical islands, Mission Beach and its laid back and relaxed atmosphere, make it the perfect destination for any type of holiday.
Whether you are a holidaymaker looking for rest and relaxation in this peaceful and tranquil haven, an adrenalin junkie looking for the ultimate adventure, a family in search of safe and calm swimming waters for the kids, or a backpacker travelling the Queensland Coast, Mission Beach has something for everyone. The activities on offer include swimming, fishing, snorkelling and diving, boating and sailing, white water rafting, fishing, hiking, skydiving, crocodile spotting, as well as many other adventures.
As varied as its menu of adventures is its choice of accommodation, as this being backpacker paradise, there is no shortage of budget accommodation and holiday deals. Families will find a diversity of family accommodation and pet friendly accommodation to suit all styles and budgets, from affordable self-contained accommodation to luxury holiday villas.
Mission Beach is the gateway to The Family Group of Islands, an archipelago of which Dunk Island is the largest and best known of the islands. This lush and beautiful tropical island is situated just 4 kilometres from Mission Beach. Most of the island is national park and its shoreline and surrounding waters is a designated marine park.
Bird watchers will be in their element, as this island paradise is home to almost 100 species of birds, as well as mammals and reptiles, and also to the emblem of the island, the stunning electric blue Ulysses butterfly. Explore Dunk Island and the neighbouring islands in a quiet and relaxing sea kayak, without the noise of motors spoiling the tranquillity of this pristine wonderland.
Just south of the Family Group, lies Hinchinbrook Island, Australia's largest island national park, where you can enjoy swimming, snorkelling and diving, fishing or boating. It is a bushwalker's paradise and is an environmental haven for turtles, dugongs and many more marine creatures. Hinchinbrook Island is an ideal and beautiful location for those in search of peace and tranquillity.
Both Dunk and Hinchinbrook Islands are uninhabited, and the only accommodation available on the islands is resort accommodation. Holidaymakers requiring other solutions for holiday accommodation, such as holiday houses or holiday apartments, would stay overnight at Mission Beach or neighbouring communities and visit the islands on day trips. Two connective ferry services operate daily from Mission Beach to Dunk Island, while ferry services to Hinchinbrook Island depart daily from Cardwell, less than an hour's drive south of Mission Beach.
One of the Seven Wonders of the World, The Great Barrier Reef is longer than The Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space. Mission Beach is the closest mainland point to the Great Barrier Reef at 38 kilometres. If you choose your accommodation from holiday rentals available in Mission Beach, making it the base from which to explore this natural wonder, you can be snorkeling or scuba diving amongst the world's greatest collection of corals less than an hour after leaving your holiday home. Tour operators on the reef offer a range of diving experiences ranging from learning dives for beginners to immersions for expert divers.
A diverse ecosystem, the Mission Beach rainforest is home to thousands of species of fauna and flora, some of which do not exist anywhere else in the world, therefore, this is a delicate ecosystem. It is at Mission Beach that the nature lover will find one of the best ranges of walking tracks in The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Mission Beach also has one of the largest cassowary populations in Australia. Along some of these rainforest walks there are fish viewing platforms near the clear waterholes where the walking path crosses the creeks and the holidaymaker will be able to view many freshwater fish, turtles, crayfish and eels. You can either undertake your own walk on the rainforest trails or enjoy guided tours with expert tour guides.
Named Queensland's Premier Significant Attraction by Queensland Tourism, Paronella Park, situated within 5 hectares of tropical rainforest besides Mena Creek falls, is the testimony of one man's dream to build a magical land.
Jose Paronella was a Spanish immigrant, who, in the 1930's inspired by his childhood memories of Spanish castles, built a castle which housed a movie theatre which on weekends doubled as a ballroom with live bands for entertainment while a huge ball of mirrors spun from the ceiling, dazzling with pink and blue twinkles; the castle included a museum which housed collections of coins, dolls, pistols and interesting mementoes.
He built a picnic area by the falls, bridges and a tunnel, tennis courts, refreshment rooms and changing cubicles for swimmers and planted over seven thousand trees, including an avenue of giant kauris, in the surrounding gardens. In 1933, Joe Paronella harnessed the power of the water fall to build Queensland's first hydro electric power plant and provide power for the park, and in 1935 the park opened to the public and for decades was a favourite wedding venue.
Today, visitors can explore the fascinating grounds through a network of paths and bridges which wind their way through the forest and Castle ruins. The holidaymaker is usually spellbound by the natural beauty of the surroundings. A 45 minute guided tour which explains the extraordinary story of the park and the achievements of one man takes the visitor through the highlights, and the Darkness Falls Tour is magical with picture postcard views of the flood-lit castle and waterfall.
Mission Beach enjoys a warm climate all year round with average daily temperatures rarely falling below 25 degrees Celsius. The best time to visit is probably between the months of April and October. July, August, September and October are the driest months; this is winter time in Australia, but in Mission Beach during this time of the year the weather is just perfect. Between the months of November to May the weather is hotter with high humidity. The highest rainfall falls between February and April, and it is during this period of the year that the waterfalls are in their full glory and splendour.
Mission Beach is 140 kilometres, or almost two hours driving time from Cairns and 240 kilometres from Townsville, therefore getting to Mission Beach is easy and there are an abundance of choices for the holidaymaker. If travelling from the UK, Cairns is the closest international airport and there is an airport transfer service twice a day from Cairns airport to Mission Beach. Greyhound and Premier bus services also make regular stops at Mission Beach. The nearest train station is located Tully, which is approximately 22 kilometres inland from Mission Beach and there are taxis available at the station.

We're a nation that loves to celebrate with a drink; we consume more than 500 million gallons of wine, beer, and spirits a year. Research shows that we would imbibe even more if liquor contained functional ingredients, such as antioxidants, enzymes, and vitamins. "There's a growing number of people who want to sip a cocktail and get health benefits at the same time," Taub-Dix says. We're also watching our waistlines and choosing skinnier drinks. Seven of the 10 top-selling domestic beers are light beers. And customers keep asking for more: Budweiser just launched a new brew called Select 55. With only 55 calories per 12-ounce bottle, it's the lowest-calorie beer on the market. Here's a reason to toast: Women who drink one to two servings of wine, beer, or liquor a day tend to gain less weight over time than teetotalers, according to researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Some studies indicate that regularly drinking a small amount of alcohol may reduce our appetite.
Sip Tip: Moderation is key. While too much alcohol can hurt your health, experts say that a little bit daily may boost it. Stick to no more than two 5-ounce glasses of wine, 12-ounce bottles of beer, or 1-1/2-ounce glasses of liquor a day.

Arizona Cardinals
Herm Edwards: Larry Fitzgerald's career is wasting away
Former NFL head coach and current ESPN NFL analyst Herm Edwards knows a thing or two about football.
Edwards, who coached the New York Jets for five seasons and the Kansas City Chiefs for three, has seen some talented players.
Needless to say, he views Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald as one of the game's best.
"I say this every Sunday, how good is this guy," Edwards told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday. "He's a pro's pro.
"This poor guy, Larry Fitzgerald, sits there every week. You can't get him the ball, it's unbelievable."
Fitzgerald finished the 2012 campaign with 71 catches for just 798 yards and a career-low four touchdowns. It was a down year for Arizona's offense in general, the problems for which can be traced directly to one position.
"You see his career just wasting away and you're going 'get the guy a quarterback,'" Edwards proclaimed. "It ain't fair to him, it's really not.
"It's hard to watch."

Converting YouTube videos to MP3Posted on July 4th, 2014 No comments
I was looking for a new Django project to start a few weeks back and I wanted it to be something I could use myself and involves running tasks in the background as I wanted to play around with Celery. I usually use YouTube nowadays to listen to music while I'm working so I figured it might be a good idea to write a web app where a user can enter the video's URL and it will extract the audio and convert it to MP3 format. I thought this was a perfect project to do next, as the conversion process is perfect to run in the background and I could actually use this app once finished. I don't have a data plan so it would be really nice to download some stuff from YouTube that I could listen to on my commute to work or when taking my daily walks.
Luckily, someone already built the harder part of downloading the videos and doing the conversion. There's this open source project called youtube-dl that's actually written in Python, so even better. All I have to do now is create the frontend and the Celery tasks to run the processes in the background.
For server hosting, I used DigitalOcean as I find them to be a great value for the money: $5 a month for a VPS with 1 vCPU, 512MB of RAM, 20GB disk space. I don't really need more than the 20GB of disk space as I'm not planning on storing every download, I could just run a scheduled job (which Celery has a module for called 'celerybeat', which is basically cron) to clean up the files.
I used an existing Bootstrap template that I used for another project, which is very simple but does the job. The final product ended up looking like this:
Because of the simple UI, the app works great on tablets and phones as well. I currently set the limit for the maximum video length to 3 hours, which should be more than enough for most videos people would want to convert.

Ansible Playbook for a Django Stack (Nginx, Gunicorn, PostgreSQL, Memcached, Virtualenv, Supervisor)Posted on April 20th, 2014 No comments
I decided to create a separate GitHub project for the Ansible playbook I'm currently using to fully provision a production server for my open-source app, GlucoseTracker, so it can be reused by people who are using the same stack.
You can download the playbook here: https://github.com/jcalazan/ansible-django-stack
The playbook can fully provision an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server (will test 14.04 soon) from the base image with the following applications, which are quite popular in the Django community:
- Nginx
- Gunicorn
- PostgreSQL
- Memcached
- Virtualenv
- Supervisor
I used this awesome guide to set up my server initially (which took like half a day) before automating the entire process with Ansible. If I need to move to a new server or cloud provider, I can pretty much rebuild a fully-configured server in about 5 minutes with one command. Pretty neat.
Note: I've also ran this playbook successfully on Amazon EC2, Rackspace, and Digital Ocean virtual private servers.
For those who are in a hurry, simply install Ansible, Vagrant, and VirtualBox (if you don't have them already), clone the project from GitHub, and type this in from the project directory:
vagrant up
Wait a few minutes for Ansible to do its magic. Visit http://192.168.33.15 when finished. Congrats, you just deployed a fully configured Django app!
The Juicy Details
Below are some things you should know before using this playbook for your projects.
Project Structure
I have my Django project structure set up this way:
glucose-tracker\ (project directory)
—-> glucosetracker\ (application directory)
—-> settings\
———-> base.py
———-> local.py
———-> dev.py
—-> requirements.txt file, scripts, other files and directories I don't consider part of the application
If you have the same project structure that I have, then all you really have to change is the env_vars/base file to get started, where you can set the Git repo location, project name, and the application name which are used throughout the playbook.
If you don't have the same project structure, you will need to change the group_vars/webservers file as well (and possibly the environment specific vars file in env_vars/ if you don't split up your settings file), where you can set the path settings to match your project structure.
Environment Variables
I like to separate my environment-specific settings from the main code repo for security reasons and for easier management. For example, in my Django settings file, I set the EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD setting to something like:
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ['EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD']
This way, I won't have to leave the password in the code and if I need to change the email password I can do so quickly by changing the environment variable setting on the server instead of modifying the code and re-deploying it.
The way I have this setup is I created a postactivate script (see roles/web/templates/) that creates the environment variables. This gets ran after activating virtualenv so those settings are applied only to that virtualenv.
Now, because I like having all my configurations in my Ansible playbook repo, I keep these values in a vars file and encrypt them with Ansible Vault (see my previous post about this for more details).
Applying Roles
The playbooks in the repo apply all the roles. If you only want certain roles applied to your server, simply remove the ones you don't need from the roles: section.
For example, if you don't use memcached, your roles: section will look something like this.
roles: - base - db - web
Django Management Commands
In env_vars/, you will see the following settings in the environment-specific vars files:
run_django_syncdb: yes run_django_south_migration: yes run_django_collectstatic: yes
If you don't want to run some of these commands, simply set the value to no.
OpenSSL 'Heartbleed' Patch
Don't worry, the playbook already takes care of this for you. The first task in the playbook is to do an apt-get update and ensure that openssl and libssl are the latest version.
I think that pretty much covers most of the questions you might have if you decide to use this Ansible playbook for your Django projects. I might add a few more roles here in the next few weeks, such as Celery, RabbitMQ, and Solr, as we use them at work and we're currently in the process of automating our infrastructure.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment below.

How to deploy encrypted copies of your SSL keys and other files with Ansible and OpenSSLPosted on April 5th, 2014 3 comments
I've been working on fully automating server provisioning and deployment of my Django app, GlucoseTracker, the last couple of weeks with Ansible. Since I made this project open-source, I needed to make sure that passwords, secret keys, and other sensitive information are encrypted when I push my code to my repository.
Of course, I have the option to not commit them to the repo, but I want to be able to build my entire infrastructure from code and maintain all configuration in one place, the git repo.
Fortunately, Ansible has a command line tool called Ansible Vault (comes with the core package) that will allow you to encrypt your configuration files and decrypt them during deployment by passing in the password or password file in the command. This is mainly useful for encrypting your environment variables files that contain the passwords/keys for your application.
For example, in my Django settings, instead of assigning the values directly in the settings file, I do something like this:
SECRET_KEY = os.environ['DJANGO_SECRET_KEY']
Django would then read the value from the server's environment variables. In my case, since I use virtualenv, I have a postactivate script that sets the environment variables for that virtualenv.
Since I want Ansible to fully automate my server configuration and store all the information that I need to do so in a git repo, I have to encrypt the variables that my app use in production. For example, I have a file called production in the env_vars folder of my repo that the playbook will use. I encrypt this file with a password using Ansible Vault and when running the playbook I decrypt it by passing in the password in the command argument. If you use CI tools like Jenkins you can then just set this password in Jenkins (perhaps as an environment variable) so you won't have to type it in manually.
If I need to make a change in the vars file, I can simply just type in:
ansible-vault edit env_vars/production
This will prompt me for the password and display the decrypted values in vim for me where I can make my changes and save it back in the encrypted version. This is a nice option if you just need to make small changes as you won't forget to encrypt the file again after decrypting it.
Here's what an Ansible Vault encrypted vars file will look like:
$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.0;AES 53616c7465645f5f5d2e57e60827b394fec9e16fef1954b9578542cc3098c72cf30cfe25dbf1fb49 0c0ace757c1b4f9e60860bf91988b21dc2636bf5cf5295396c22e7ba34af68a702ce2b224091aaa7 7e579aff2159f5cbfa2e05caf432cef3a32729aef212f5509c89f2a681d113b4b2ffc01dab88e5a6 9e8092f59b9adb9960af646551490111131912ece4df55c6045e5d4e49ee8d3c143ca6ba95492f12 ddaf044ef02aa25d78a14ba60411ecdc72aa68c6a756d5000906cfeac62e2e975a2f72b172a1a386 b0e8431213018e074c810b7851e82c1770c985fbae8bd3f1c15367aeebd674da7e228e0a0864467e 88a67ce40646f39d43ea9810f8e5f4273d7c035704f2087b85a18e6f2ea37f054ca1deae8de5a588 99727f9116540552cc4ed107bb8ba133787bb0321bdd0f6464ece4a88e60cf301cf24c6b646a931b 5b8caa27dc5b6cc6f3c40bff172b0ea778b6ced036d45acb24a34e016ff9d55a2a75de65307eaf97 593e88a6c492f97427d3536f7ca0f15f5a253d4e16903efdcbb92b2cf20c74bc45d2cc2ee90ecd0d 257e8f334416de3369735d7e5b2b48afc2c7d34948523c8e429a7e15f2c62c1c7de0b88d87af6096 d44581bfd1d547362874fabd5ae188be92cd8c38fbdaeabb2af217c11eb6010579fb8ae0f1a24608 94504a5e07e866b9c3daa7335d0f18cc7cec914790b39d17a2c2c8c76d3cfd24903d58817290b873 92101ee222074488c3a9b61d2f8ccaf6261dd897f1e49abe6f5c45945d3d84bcce3acaf8c9f16c17 536f3aea2f289395ef6987908b20b99d3377b4b50f8cb2064c628b5cc281b609fcba7f49a35b2c73 e1d232dbc107f311db7dd2391f7e8f77c187bcef2904b11ab0c24ebf69af37901e8ad178ff383414 335a448f44b63e39cbcbabaef94a0f33024393c16e78240bfd33b3f031a9461287ef1aef1d2959fd ec8fb7c8be7f7601bb4fc9fbefd5f6f62b7d44dde16ad59ac6144a4b08339efeb9bc39a106082eb9 da14ab70e43b261ae1d717f97edaff5a1a40ef5455da5a2ee69e83893a11b859b758ffe9eb2b09ff bc9169086fcf3b6e66c15ba5ae2c6b98705c0a486fa3e6a05cfbc1bff5006fc3abe078643b372655 0c47e02238f533d877e1fd764fa7eb0772d3fb75532156c928d5ecf3fd0980f9ac274f43cab3ca71 42b8130b116ecf497771f927bed2f1e9f0a39a96f27dd8d894d15821614ad4953785767080492d2c e898145cc0430c19bcc2f8b139b864307867940b32a8f1adb5fa39114b18304b595a3240611ccac4 9988715adcab5420eb68e0abf2cf8133467fe2f54680102ef5ab3b8b158af1b8048bac65b178a847 30ab48c579aee1a820e2b386ae3719d4a923e6d2a3440b55672bb872774386d8a10ddd8d347aaabc 2dfecacbb1b7018aa79ead9cb820cfcf519efdf31e956be89b1b13a659dab3a769f24100b226da6b 87d4793ef44b3157984681455dfa00e295b50f7ae7d2ed5e1070f296a9d297e4c05190d65537ec10 3a7684ce2da75ecd8c6aebfe0616e67dd1d64ac216db208ba8afdb701d4402c203f0238a69443d71
What about files that get copied to the server such as private keys for SSL certificates?
This is where I had to do something extra as the Ansible copy module will copy these files as they're stored in the repository (i.e. the encrypted version). To get around this, I simply used OpenSSL to encrypt these files using symmetric encryption and set the password to decrypt it in my vars file (which Ansible Vault will encrypt).
To encrypt a file with OpenSSL using AES 256 encryption:
openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -a -e -in ssl_signed/unencrypted.key -out ssl_signed/encrypted.key -k MysupasecuresecretPasswordZ.x!!
To decrypt an AES 256 encrypted file with OpenSSL:
openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -a -d -in ssl_signed/encrypted.key -out ssl_signed/unencrypted.key -k MysupasecuresecretPasswordZ.x!!
Example vars file:
# Nginx settings.
nginx_server_name: www.glucosetracker.net
ssl_src_dir: ssl_signed
ssl_dest_dir: /etc/ssl
ssl_key_password: MysupasecuresecretPasswordZ.x!!
I have a task in my playbook that would copy my SSL keys to the remote server and run the OpenSSL command to decrypt it (using the password from the ssl_key_password variable in my vars file):
- name: Copy the SSL cert and key to the remote server copy: src={{ ssl_src_dir }}/ dest={{ ssl_dest_dir }} - name: Decrypt the SSL key command: openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -a -d -in {{ ssl_dest_dir }}/nginx.key -out {{ ssl_dest_dir }}/decrypted.key -k {{ ssl_key_password }} creates={{ ssl_dest_dir }}/decrypted.key - name: Rename the decrypted SSL key command: mv {{ ssl_dest_dir }}/decrypted.key {{ ssl_dest_dir }}/nginx.key removes={{ ssl_dest_dir }}/decrypted.key
Now let's run the production playbook:
ansible-playbook -i inventory/production –private-key=/aws-keys/ec2-glucosetracker.pem –vault-password-file=~/ansible/decryption_password -vvvv production.yml
This is just one example and this same simple concept can be applied to different scenarios. Just to summarize the steps:
- Encrypt your files with OpenSSL using symmetric encryption.
- Assign the decryption password to a variable in your Ansible vars file.
- Encrypt your vars file using Ansible Vault.
- Create a task in your playbook to decrypt the encrypted files using OpenSSL and the password in the encrypted vars file.
- Run your Ansible playbook, passing in the Ansible Vault password in the command or specifying the file where the password is stored.

Django Tip: How to configure Gunicorn to auto-reload your code during developmentPosted on March 30th, 2014 No comments
I just finished fully automating my entire server stack for my Django app with Ansible and Vagrant (using VirtualBox). One of the reasons I did this is to make my development environment as close to production as possible to hopefully eliminate any surprises when deploying to production. It also allows me to setup a development environment very quickly as I won't have to deal with manual installation and configuration of different packages. In a team environment, the benefit of doing this multiplies.
This is basically my process:
1. Type in 'vagrant up' to create or start the VirtualBox virtual machine.
2. I have my virtual machine configured via Vagrant to share my local code (which is located in my Dropbox folder) with the virtual machine.
3. I make a change to my code, then I open my web browser and enter my virtual machine's IP which is statically set to 192.168.33.10. The browser shows my changes.
What I want Gunicorn to do is similar to what the Django runserver does: automatically reload the application server when the code changes.
There are different ways to approach this, such as using a package called watchdog to watch the file changes and then restart Gunicorn. But it turned out there's an even simpler way to do this with Gunicorn by setting the max_requests setting to 1 (full list of settings). When calling Gunicorn simply add this option (note that it's 2 dashes in the beginning):
–max-requests 1
What this will basically do is tell Gunicorn to restart the process for every request, which would reload your code. It won't know whether your code changed or not, it will always reload it. For production, this is probably not a good idea, but during development it's a nice simple trick and you won't really see a difference in performance as you'd be the only user.
Here's the shell script that I use to start my Gunicorn process (note that I use Nginx to communicate with Gunicorn via a socket file, also note that I have variables set here which Ansible replaces with the actual values):
#!/bin/bash NAME="{{ application_name }}" DJANGODIR={{ application_path }} SOCKFILE={{ virtualenv_path }}/run/gunicorn.sock USER={{ gunicorn_user }} GROUP={{ gunicorn_group }} NUM_WORKERS=3 # Set this to 0 for unlimited requests. During development, you might want # to set this to 1 to automatically restart the process on each request # (i.e. your code will be reloaded on every request). MAX_REQUESTS={{ gunicorn_max_requests }} echo "Starting $NAME as `whoami`" # Activate the virtual environment. cd $DJANGODIR source ../../bin/activate source ../../bin/postactivate # Create the run directory if it doesn't exist. RUNDIR=$(dirname $SOCKFILE) test -d $RUNDIR || mkdir -p $RUNDIR # Programs meant to be run under supervisor should not daemonize themselves # (do not use --daemon). exec python manage.py run_gunicorn \ --settings={{ django_settings_file }} \ --name $NAME \ --workers $NUM_WORKERS \ --max-requests $MAX_REQUESTS \ --user=$USER --group=$GROUP \ --log-level=debug \ --bind=unix:$SOCKFILE
Deploying your Django app with FabricPosted on January 25th, 2014 No comments
I've been making quite a bit of improvements and changes to my Django app, GlucoseTracker, lately that the small amount of time I spent creating a deployment script using Fabric had already paid off.
Fabric is basically a library written in Python that lets you run commands on remote servers (works locally as well) via SSH. It's very easy to use and can save you a lot of time. It eliminates the need to connect to a remote server manually, and if you have a lot of servers to update, then the time savings really add up.
Since I only have one server for my production environment, my setup and deployment process are very simple. I use GitHub to store my code, a virtualenv environment where my code is deployed to, Gunicorn for the WSGI server managed by Supervisor, PostgreSQL for the database, and Nginx for the web server.
My deployment process goes something like this:
- Run unit tests.
- Pull latest code from the master branch hosted on GitHub.
- Activate virtualenv.
- Run pip install against the requirements file (in case a new library was added or updated).
- Run South migrations for all apps (in case the there were changes in the database/table schemas).
- Restart Gunicorn with Supervisor.
Here's what my fabric.py file looks like:
from fabric.api import local, env, cd, sudo env.hosts = ['www.glucosetracker.net'] # The user account that owns the application files and folders. owner = 'glucosetracker' app_name = 'glucosetracker' app_directory = '/webapps/glucosetracker/glucose-tracker' settings_file = 'settings.production' def run_tests(): local('coverage run manage.py test -v 2 --settings=settings.test') def deploy(): """ Deploy the app to the remote host. Steps: 1. Change to the app's directory. 2. Pull changes from master branch in git. 3. Activate virtualenv. 4. Run pip install using the requirements.txt file. 5. Run South migrations. 6. Restart gunicorn WSGI server using supervisor. """ with cd(app_directory): sudo('git pull', user=owner) venv_command = 'source ../bin/activate' pip_command = 'pip install -r requirements.txt' sudo('%s && %s' % (venv_command, pip_command), user=owner) south_command = 'python glucosetracker/manage.py migrate --all ' \ '--settings=%s' % settings_file sudo('%s && %s' % (venv_command, south_command), user=owner) sudo('supervisorctl restart glucosetracker')
To run this script, you first need to install the Fabric library:
pip install fabric
Then call the run_tests method by typing:
fab run_tests
Deploy with:
fab deploy
Make sure to run the fab command in the directory where the fabric.py file is located.
For the run_tests() method, you'll notice that I use the function local(). Since I don't have a staging environment I just run my tests locally. I then deploy directly to my production server.
Also note that the SSH session is not persistent, which is why you can see in my script that I combine the virtualenv activation command with the commands dependent on it being active. I also run my app using a user account named glucosetracker which has limited access to the server to minimize damage in case someone figures out a way to run malicious code through my app.
That's pretty much it. This is just a very simple example and you can do a lot more with it. It takes very little time to get started, so even for small projects it's definitely worth checking out. It's really nice to be able to make even just tiny changes to your app and have it deployed in seconds by running one simple command.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis
Finding out your ex has moved on with someone else is bad enough, but imagine how Demi Moore felt when she found out her ex, Ashton Kutcher , was dating old friend and That 70s Show co-star Mila Kunis, who is two decades younger. Ouch!
"She is beyond heartbroken," a source told RadarOnline. "Even though Ashton cheated on her all the time, it was with random girls, it wasn't a relationship like it is with Mila and that is what is killing Demi now."
It looks like Ashton's traded her in for a younger model. Scroll through to see other stars that have done the same!
I must be blind or something because I never could see what other girls and women will see in this guy, I found him the most annoying actor of all time and to me he is not hot at all, remove all of the make up and the best camera angle or go to Hollywood and meet him in person like I said without all of the makeup and perfect camera angles and you'll let me know if you still think that he is hot, I wonder why he always play cheesy character. And as for Demi Moore, I don't know what she saw in this guy, it must have been for the publicity. Then again we are all different and also have different taste
Demi I have some things to say to you as 1 older woman to another:
Listen - YOU are a beautiful, intelligent, rich and talented woman. Take time for yourself and first admit (if you have not already) that you have a problem with addicting substances. It's okay alright? You are only human and who of are we to know what your stressers are? Only you do. I and everyone else out there should NOT be judging you or anyone. There but for the Grace of God go I. Once you start recovering - then take time for you and your girls. LOVE yourself and admire all you have accomplished. Concentrate on 1 day at a time and don't think too far ahead. Then ...maybe down the road a bit....slowly get back into men. Take it easy and remember you have a lot to offer and any good, mature man out there would be lucky to have you.
Demi, as Anne wrote on Friday....you are a smart, talented, beautiful woman. Who by the way can have any man on earth. Girlfriend, please don't lower yourself in chasing a man who doesn't want you. That's a hard pill to swallow...one likes to be rejected. We tend to look at ourselves and wonder why "he's stepping out with another woman".... Girlfriend, you're not the problem. Take the time to figuer out where you go from here....NO MAN ON THIS EARTH IS WORTH HARMING OURSELF OVER...NO MAN IS WORTH THAT SORT OF PAIN. You've got daughthers who you don't want to be following in your footsteps when it comes to a relationship that's gone south. Get yourself sorted...
You're a strong and powerful woman....I watched the movie 'G.I. Jane" Demi, you kicked...(pardon my English) butts....the training you did....was simply wicked. Demi, don't get lost in a man... There is someone out there who will appreciate and except the person for who you are and (I love this part) will respect the person you are as well as the relationship you both are building together. Be strong sister....you've got the power to do whatever you like. Don't let a man rule you and please don't be chasing one. Let him do the chasing
I don't feel bad for Demi at all, what did she expect. He is a younger man and I don't see what she had in common with him anyway. And while it may be true that no one says anything about an older man and a younger woman, but you never see a man getting himself sliced and diced so that he looks younger. I can't understand her anyway what could he possibly have to say that would interest her.
And for those of you who constantly call him ugly, you sound ridiculous he is not ugly, and if he was so what? Now that he has broken with her, here come the insults, you guys are a joke.
Life is life this happens to everyone whether famous or not. We still need to get back on our feet and move on. Everything happens for a reason whether good or bad. The best thing is not giving the other person all the control and that is what Demi is doing. Pick up, move on, and do even better than you did when you were with Ashton, that is now the best revenge a person can have.

Anissa Helou beat me to it with her blog post about today's culinary collaboration! Anyway, here's mine. Anissa (a brilliant cook and food writer specialising in Middle Eastern culinary cultures) and I had been planning a joint Sino-Lebanese lunch for months, and we finally did it, sort of, because in the end it turned out to be Sino-Moroccan. I was in charge of the first course, Anissa of the main course and dessert. As I was cooking at home and planning a 'Chinese takeaway' delivery to Anissa's place, it seemed like a good opportunity to use one of my Sichuanese cuan he ( 攒盒), the gorgeous lacquered boxes that are sometimes used for banquet appetisers. Each box comes with an ornamented lid – in this case a dragon and phoenix (see below), and a neat jigsaw of detachable compartments for the food. The smallest boxes have one central compartment with four others around: this is known as a 'five-colour' box. The one I used today is a 'nine-colour' box, although I cheated slightly because I only made eight dishes (as you can see, one is duplicated in two compartments).
These boxes bring a real sense of occasion to a meal, because you can present the box intact and then remove the lid with a theatrical flourish. With a small group, as we were today, you can just help yourself from the compartments in the box. If a larger number of people are gathered around a big round table, a waitress will often display the whole box, and then remove the compartments and distribute them around the edges of the 'lazy susan' in the centre so that everyone can reach them.
Today's menu was: spicy Sichuanese chicken (凉拌鸡), green soybeans with pickled 'snow' vegetable (雪菜毛豆), spicy cucumber salad (炝黄瓜), Shanghainese 'smoked' fish (熏鱼), kohlrabi salad (香油苤蓝), garland chrysanthemum leaves with firm tofu (豆干蒿菜), fish-fragrant aubergines (鱼香茄子) and pressed pig's ear (顺风耳). I have my friend Jason's mother to thank for the fish dish, as she taught me the recipe (see my blog post A Shanghainese dream). Fish-fragrant aubergines are normally served hot, but I think they are glorious served as a cold dish, like a Sichuanese reply to the Turkish imam bayildi.
After the Sichuanese phase of the culinary symphony, we had a scrumptious Moroccan lamb tagine with prunes, almonds and honey. The lamb was meltingly tender, the honey floral and aromatic, and the toasted nuts a fabulous textural contrast to the rest. (I have some leftovers to eat tomorrow – hooray!). We ate it with home-made semolina bread. (Should you wish to make this divine stew yourself, the recipe is now on FT.com). And then some of Anissa's pistachio ice-cream with rosewater – mmmm. Anyway, as Anissa explains on her blog, we reckoned it didn't really work perfectly to have entire courses of each nationality, so next time we're going to try to serve dishes from the different traditions together, as part of the same spread. Can't wait!

APPLETON, WI (WNFL) – The third-ranked Division 3 high school boys basketball team in the state has been given new tournament blood. Little Chute, despite being upset by Xavier 50-47 in the WIAA Division 3 regional final, has advanced to this evening's sectional semifinal after the WIAA ruled Xavier ineligible.
Xavier unknowingly used an ineligible player in the last Saturday's meeting between the two teams. A member of the Hawks had played in a non-high school game, which is a violation of WIAA in-season eligibility. Xavier officials self-reported the infringement to the WIAA immediately upon learning of it.
The regional championship is considered a Xavier forfeit. Little Chute will face Appleton East tonight at 7pm.

Eco-Friendly Materials Inspire Kitchen
Designer Mary Beth Hartgrove creates a contemporary kitchen by combining natural materials with minimalist design.
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
For this Kensington, Calif., project, designer Catherine Nakahara of Custom Spaces Kitchens & Baths mixes sustainable finishes with high-end appliances for a modern, sophisticated kitchen.
The design features carbonized bamboo cabinets, stone countertops and elegant frosted-glass doors leading to the pantry.
We spoke with Catherine to find out what was the biggest design obstacle, lessons learned and how the project came together.
How best to design the dining area cabinetry so it wouldn't appear too bulky and still offer them functionality and organization.
There was an open stairway very close to the island, and the homeowners wanted to be able to eat and grab meals at the island, which wasn't going to be possible with the open stairwell. Instead, we adjusted the overall length of the kitchen and set up some stools on the back side of the sink.
The homeowners initially wanted to go with bamboo doors for the pantry. The frosted sliding-glass doors turned out to be the perfect application and helped lighten up the overall feel of the kitchen.
Bamboo cabinetry is not typically available with finished ends; applied panels are required to finish the ends. Applied panels add to the overall length of a space and must be accounted for early in the design process. It's also worth noting that applied panels come standard with visible edge grain.
We love how the cabinetry and finishes come together to create a very sophisticated and contemporary aesthetic. The carbonized bamboo looks great with the quartz countertops, and the skylight bathes the island in natural light.

It must be seen as a measure of the seriousness of child poverty that our pediatricians are prepared to engage in the political debate to warn us of the consequences of what they are seeing.
Susan St John's full presentation is here: Are we wasting our children?

2012 Moots MX Divide – Interbike Sneak Peek!
Typically if a bike company has a major product announcement, it will be reserved for an industry trade show like the upcoming 2011 Interbike in Las Vegas, but it appears that Moots of Steamboat Springs, Colorado has decided to let their 'friends' on Facebook have a sneak peek of what appears to be an exciting new design.
There are few details as of right now, but it appears that the new 2012 MX Divide is a complete redesign of their somewhat archaic current cross country bike, the Zirkel. The most significant difference with the new MX Divide is that Moots teamed up with the Sotto Group of Watsonville, California to design this new frame using a single pivot design and position the rear shock more inline with the travel of the rear triangle. Sotto Group is well known in the bicycle industry, plus they have the experience to design and test making them a perfect resource for this new design. Since the MX Divide is designed to be a cross country bike, the frame has 4-inches of rear travel and is designed to work with a 100mm (4-inch) suspension fork. The rear triangle uses a combination of titanium seat stays and aluminum chain stays with a carbon fiber swing link connecting the seat stays and rear Fox shock.
Along with the new frame design, the MX Divide features an inset 44mm oversized head tube and press fit BB30 bottom bracket which is becoming more standard on mountain bikes due to both items increasing the overall stiffness of a frame.
Another feature that will be appreciated by current Moots owners (such as this reporter) is the curved down tube. I had recently completed building a 2011 Mooto X YBB and personally had an issue with the adjusting knobs of the 2012 Fox F29 fork hitting the down tube. The new curved down tube alleviates this issue and will hopefully appear on other 2012 Moots frames.
This ground-up approach by Moots has produced what appears to be an exciting new bike that we hope to swing a leg over at Interbike to hit some trails. The 19-inch frame MX Divide shown in the photo reportedly weighs just 24.5 pounds which should make this one fast bike on the trails!

Finally found this video!!!!
I've been looking for this video since it was aired in WOWOW on Oct 19, and finally found it! Yatta!! Thank you, Yumengel!! *hugs* XD
This butai start from July to August in Tokyo and Osaka. and this recording is a performance in August 8, at Tokyo.
The story is about conflics of two siblings of Onodera family who lives together in wooden house and havent married yet. One day, the brother (Osamu Mukai) wrote an apologize letter to her sister (Katagiri Hairi) by radio. And in other hand, a friend of the sister take a shooting at their wooden house with the amateurs crews.
Shuhei is part of that crews, named Kengo.
I'm shocked seeing Shuhei's hair!! How came it be brown???! LOL
Kayak anak yang kebangyakan main layangan panas2 xP
This play has the same schedule with Enoshima Prism's promo/released, and Shuhei's hair is black at that time! Seems that he only like that (with brown hair) on the stage! :)
Well, the DVD of this stage play will release on January 24, 2014! (amazon)

Riding the Network: Tips for a Successful Journey
Chris Wetzel of InterTECH Security examines the ins and outs of integration in the corporate environment
Getting Down to Bandwidth
While establishing credibility is an important first step, the next thing on the table will be bandwidth requirements. How much network space does the security application need? That's almost always the primary concern for IT folks, since they must ensure they have enough space on the network to run mission-critical systems along with various support functions.
Transmitting surveillance video over the company network or Internet, for instance, requires a significant amount of bandwidth. Despite this drawback, many companies are anxious to use this technology because of its advantages over analog systems. One of the most tantalizing is the ability to monitor the video remotely. How can security use IP video without bogging down the corporate network?
One alternative just beginning to surface, according to integrators, is the creation of standalone IP networks that are just for security. "This is where you use the same kind of equipment, same standards of wiring, same kind of wiring, but you don't use (the regular corporate network) bandwidth," said Coleman. "You provide a parallel network that is isolated from enterprise computing functions.
"Lots of times the IT folks already have spare wiring, and it's just a matter of having separate routers and separate switches. Other times, the security integrator puts in the separate system that just takes care of the needs of security, and IT doesn't concern itself with it, although that's probably less often."
While separate pipelines are starting to turn up for physical security functions, many times getting adequate network space comes down to the fine art of negotiation.
"Sometimes it's just a process of education, where you assuage anxieties," Coleman said.
Wilson added, "You tell them all the space requirements. You look at ways you can avoid stepping on each other's needs. For instance, you can consider things like sending out smaller packets of data (for IP video) during peak activity periods. Then if you really need to pull out more data, those things can happen during lower network activity periods. It's those kinds of negotiations that will help everyone come to agreement."
Voice Over Internet Protocol
To help reduce operational costs, companies are beginning to adopt Voice over Internet Protocol, which runs data and voice transmissions on the same network. In the security industry, this tool is still in its infancy, but it's beginning to generate some interest because of its usefulness in various security situations.
"It really makes sense as a natural progression," Wilson said. "People start out wanting to put in a secure portal—a card reader or access control point. Then, they think, 'Wow, wouldn't it be nice if I could see who's coming, rather than just identifying people through an access card number?' That's the stage that you get into video surveillance. The next iteration would be audio. That way they can communicate with someone who's trying to access the building. The security person could be on the west coast, allowing after-hours access through voice interaction with someone on the east coast or halfway around the world. By having audio on an IP platform, it becomes a much wider, broader application."
Whether VolP will become widespread in the security industry remains to be seen. "It's still pretty early in the game, just a few manufacturers are putting it out there," Wilson said.
In terms of IT department concerns, voice transmission has lower bandwidth requirements than video. "That means there is less push back from IT on voice over IP," Coleman said.
The Bottom Line

we had power-crippling ice. no power for two days. needless to say i'm so behind! :( but maybe i'll catch up this week!
Oh no! Sorry to hear about the ice :(
Saturday night I prepped chai French toast, popped it in the oven Sunday morning, enjoyed the leftovers this morning. I'm nailing this!
I didn't take the challenge, but these photos brought back a nice memory. When I worked at The Natural Gardener, an all-organic gardening store and teaching facility in Austin, we had chickens of many breeds, and always a variety of fresh eggs in the breakroom fridge. Someone taught me how to bake them in the microwave - a pat of butter in a ceramic dish, crack an egg over it, cover tightly, and micro 45 seconds. Perfect farm egg breakfast in less than a minute. There were usually a few others sauteeing kale and onions or beets and we would all convene over coffee and our farm-style convenience foods for a few minutes before facing the crowds. Warm fuzzies:)

Course No. BMA 346 Credits: 3.0
Prerequisite(s) 3D Bioforms: Intro to 3D Modeling
This course serves as an introductory platform to investigate and discover object, environment, human and natural science 3D animation to create a narrative with goals to communicate a message and/or educate and instruct the viewer. The student will use the concept of narrative to tell animated short stories of the body, environment and/or natural science through the medium of 3D digital animation software. Within the course, strong conceptual skills are emphasized and developed through professional production techniques, workflow and time-based linear media. Successful animation breathes life into motion with clear communication of thought, emotion, narrative or experience. Any moving object is a ÒcharacterÓ in film or animation. We will hold regular discussions and workshops on how the dialogue of an otherwise stagnant object changes and evolves when put to motion. Methods of instruction will consist of lectures, demonstrations, art & scientific research, studio assignments, in-class lab time, and group critiques. The principles of 3D space and motion/timing will be used as the foundation for understanding how to communicate a message through animation. Learning the ideas of simplistic object, environment and body motion accuracy/timing will be taught in 3D and students will be expected to create simple to complex animations (based on level and individual progress.) The computer will be explored like other art media and will serve as a tool for creation.

Projection mapping done right; used in Irma's music video for single Save Me. Not to mention the whole video was shot in one single take. Magical.
Aperçu Is about a scientist who has invented a contraption that sees into the future. This animation was created by Emma for an animation workshop at La Poudrière (animation filmmaking school).
If this product exists, would you want to own one?
This is an awesome behind the scene video of OK Go's latest MV The Writing's On the Wall. Kudos to the wonderful collaboration!
In art school we got our assignments, often we worked on it alone. Somehow getting help feels like I'm cheating but truth is most successful projects out there are created by a team of talented individuals, not just one person. Remember that.
Came across South by Scooter while learning how to put a lomo fisheye lens onto a DSLR by Max Piantoni. Love it when artists/filmmakers experiment and play. About the Max Piantoni and behind the scene.
A Practice is a short doc about artist, Aurora Robson, who makes beautiful sculptures using plastic that's considered garbage/waste by others.
Guinea Pig interview done by Pets Add Life reminds me of the BBC's Funny Talking Animals - Walk On The Wild Side series. It will put a smile on your face.
Philip Seymour Hoffman on Happiness is a wonderful piece created by Blank on Blank (famous names, lost interviews). The short animation uses a previously recorded interview conducted as part of the Happy talk series at the Rubin Museum of Art. An interesting insight into an acting legend's mind.
Shots recorded on an iPhone 5S and edited on an iPad air; that's how this Bentley ad was made. With some tech help (details at nofilmschool) and a bit of money you can make your film. No more excuses!

"I really am living the dream and returning to the UK, whatever the reaction, really tops its off. It has been a whirlwind year or so really but I can't think of a better way to top it off than with this tour and getting to wrestle for TNA in front of my hometown crowd. It might be a cliché but it really is a dream come true, I have wanted to be a wrestler for so long and now being able to do it, is just amazing."
- Rockstar Spud talks about being on Impact Wrestling in England
While his character is said to be from the Sudan, the guy that portrayed Abdullah the Butcher was actually from Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
While many within WWE, including JBL, are pushing for him to be called up to the main roster soon, management currently does not have any plans of bringing Adrian Neville up from the developmental program just yet. The plan is to keep him in NXT until at least Wrestlemania.
"Adrian Neville. Not a doubt in my mind. I think he's just phenomenal. I don't know about his promo skills as I haven't seen them as much, but he's a guy who could go out there and perform on any card, anywhere in the world and be a help to that card. I would love to see him up in the WWE. He'll be there I just don't know the time frame."

This was a project that ran in early Autumn but kind of faded out with all the shenanigans that i get myself into. Anyway the concept of this was fairly simple, one artist animates a chunk then passes it on to the next one, the next artist has to find a way to pick up from where the previous artist left off and then add his own spin to it. Its a snowball effect if you will.
It's pretty short and sweet, i'll try and get a few more of these going next year on a semi-regular basis.
Special thanks to anyone that took interest in the project, specially my pal The-Swain.
The audio for anyone wondering is called the Tritsch-Tratsch Polka, by Johann Strauss Jr.

Cool idea, nice animations...I think it's amazing how once you become good enough at flash, your animation style reaches a certain standard--despite the fact that I KNEW these were different animators, it all looked like the same person.

I just felt that it needed something.

I almost contributed.
Hehe, I almost contributed to this, but now seeing the competition it would've been quite impossible to get accepted, glad I gave up =D
Also, I thought it was going to blend in more smoothly, but meh, perfection doesn't exsist and isn't necessary.
I like it. Maybe I won't give up with the next installment.

Leaves are left in shrub beds as a natural mulch.
It is up to residents to clear and dispose of leaves from their own property responsibly.

No, that option is not going to be added. Size for playable races are set. Only temporary size increases/decreases are available by using the scale command. Actually adjusting the models slightly up or down will screw the animations up, bad.
They said that way back, when the game was in development. Making adjustable heights and weights required you to take that into account for every animation. Or you just ignored it, which is what Sony did with some games, and it looked like shit.
Adjusting your height would also change your armor, and probably distort the textures. Size is hardcoded, and is likely impossible to change without reworking the entire engine.

Chris Gayle and friends might have destroyed a few attacks, but against a varied, skilful and unorthodox Sri Lanka attack they just didn't turn up, except for the two boys on the burning deck. Take out Samuels' 78 off 56 and Sammy's 26 off 15, and the rest of the side, extras included, scored 33 in 8.1 overs.drinks and food had been procured, the playlists figured out, but on the way home West Indies saw a car coming. And apart from Marlon Samuels and Darren Sammy, they froze in the headlights. So fickle is the format, though, that those two did enough between them to keep the game alive.
Samuels' brilliance kept it from becoming a disappointment the size of the 1999 World Cup final, but try telling Ajantha Mendis and his team-mates this was a disappointment. Coming into this match, Sri Lanka had lost three straight World Cup finals they had made. They could do with a timid opposition. And Sri Lanka contributed to the timidity in no small measure. From the first over onwards, they were all over West Indies.
