If you run a business through Facebook then Mark Zuckerberg dropped a bombshell this week. They're tightening the screws on business and media posts so essentially they'll never find their intended audience.
Even if you don't run a business it's revealing to know that what you're seeing in your newsfeed can be changed at the flick of a switch, or at least, the roll of Zuckerberg's algorithm.
It might be comforting to know that Facebook are keen to reduce the amount of business posts littering your newsfeed but for me it's disturbing to think a handful of people are directing what is in my daily information diet.
"As we roll this out, you'll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media."
Having someone tell me what is interesting and noteworthy was the main reason I stopped watching the 'news'…that and the fact it's designed to trigger our rawest emotions.
There's plenty news out there for everyone so there's no need to reduce your thinking to what a handful of people decide is relevant (a handful of people essentially from the same schools, same families and, by the looks of it, with the same dress code ). It's incredibly myopic.
It's tempting to abandon Facebook like I've abandoned the news but it's a way to stay connected with friends and experts in the fields that interest me. So for now at least it seems like chucking out the baby with the bathwater.
I'm all about slowing down and opting out of the rush rush get shit done world we've created and I'm resolved to stop the endless scrolling in 2018.
If I'm going on FB it will be with a clear purpose – such as checking in on a specific person or group.
One last thing…I make sure to 'like' every random post in my newsfeed every once in a while as that's the feedback they're using to control us…POW 👊 take that Zukerberg!!! 💥 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gravina in Apulia, province of Bari, in the South-East of Italy, located in the heart pf the green countryside of Alta Murgia, is perched on the edge of a deep crevasse. The underground Gravina is a secret world with countless treasures: caves, prehistoric dwellings, frescoed rock churches, ancient cellars, tunnels, aqueducts and cisterns dug into duff and calcarenite.The interesting Pomarici-Santomasi Museum preserves the frescoes of the Vito Vecchio Saint rupestrian crypt on the ground floor, and other finds in the ceramics,numismatic and archaelogical section. In Gravina dominates the cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the country. Before the cathedral there is Pope Benedict XIII Avenue with the statue dedicated to him. Pope Benedict (1650-1730) was born in Gravina from the Orsini family. He celebrated the Jubilee in 1725, and was beatified in early 2017: the country is preparing itself to the great event of the Pope Benedetto XIII future sanctification.
From the square going down the staircases between ancient neighborhoods, medieval houses you can reach the rock churches: the largest is that of Saint Michel, patron of Gravina, celebrated on September 29th. Arriving at the station of Gravina is admirable the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace from the bautiful facade of its kind: a majestic golden eagle with wings spread out with a large rose window in the middle. In the eye of the eagle, a piece of crystal attracts visitors'eyes by the glare of the sunshines. Gravina ha culinary specialties like the Verdeca wine and the Pallone cheese.

We had a great Campout this Month by snowshoeing 3 miles up the Crags then camping at Sentinel Point Trail in Florissant. Here are some Review thoughts about the trip:
- We learned some cold weather camping lessons. Keep Nalgenes in your sleeping bags to prevent freezing.
- Dress properly while hiking in the cold. Don't over dress while moving because you will sweat and get really cold when you stop.
- Pack your own bags. Please let the scouts pack their own backpacks. They should know what is in their pack. Parents can help by inspecting AFTER scouts attempt to pack on their own first. Parents, please do not pack for your scouts. Please do not OVERPACK! Their packs can get heavy quickly on the trail at altitude. Way too much clothes can become a hinderance just as fast as not enough clothes.
- Good job on the scouts that had a list of rank advancements needed to be accomplished. We were able to knock some of those out.
- Ingnacio did a great job teaching the Fireman's Chit and also did great leading the troop on this hike/campout.
- Snowshoes can be a little tricky to walk in but the practice was good!
Here is the link to the photos. If you have any to add please send them too me!

The second night of "The Voice" season 13 playoffs was Tuesday, and this time the spotlight was on Team Adam. Adam Levine revealed his comeback artist and then eliminated three artists from the NBC singing competition - so who was cut and who will music fans be able to vote for in next week's live shows? Here's everything that fans need to know from Tuesday's episode:
1) Team Adam's comeback artist
Adam Levine chose to bring back Whitney Fenimore, who got her third chance to win "The Voice" on Tuesday. She had originally been on Team Adam until she lost her battle round, and she was then stolen by Miley Cyrus, who eliminated her again in the knockout rounds. The third time was not the charm for Fenimore, who was eliminated for the third time at the end of the episode. Of the three comeback artists who have been returned to "The Voice" season 13 this week, all three have been cut from the competition immediately thereafter.
2) Who was eliminated
Joining Whitney Fenimore in elimination were Team Adam's Emily Luther and Anthony Alexander. Amusingly, both of them followed a similar path throughout their time on "The Voice." Not only were they both members of Levine's team, but they both had their blind auditions aired in the same episode on Oct. 2 (Alexander shown as the first artist to audition and Luther as the last), and they both turned three of four chairs during their auditions. Maybe they could team up and start a new duo? At least this show has somewhat kept them together.
3) Who advanced
These are the artists representing Adam Levine in next week's live playoffs and who will be eligible for America's votes starting Monday, Nov. 20: Adam Cunningham (whose stellar version of "Have A Little Faith In Me" you can watch by playing the video above), Addison Agen and Jon Mero. Only one of them is an original Team Adam member. Cunningham started "The Voice" season 13 as a member of Team Blake, while Agen was an original member of Team Miley. So if you're keeping score, Team Adam cut two of their original members and kept two of their stolen artists. Will those steals pay off in the live shows?
"The Voice" airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC, but will also air tomorrow at 9 p.m. in a special final playoff show. Fans of Team Adam will also want to get their tickets to see Adam Levine and Maroon 5 live at Las Vegas's Mandalay Bay Events Center this New Year's Eve; tickets are on sale now through AXS.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
3 And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
9 And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.

A cross-country ice skier took a freezing plunge into a Siberian lake when the surface cracked beneath him and he fell into the -15 degree Celsius water.
Sergey Ivanov was crossing Lake Baikal in Russian Siberia with friends when he found himself in the sub-zero water, his GoPro camera recording the cold dip.
The skier was cruising with a friend across the solid aqua surface, tracing the same path as the Ice Storm — an annual ski and skate race across the area's frozen lakes.
Ivanov closed in on his friend who was cautiously testing the surface ahead, ready to set off on the next leg of the vast and open frozen lake.
Only seconds after gliding out, the lake cracks beneath Ivanov and he falls into the freezing waters.
"There was no time to think. I made a jerk to the side and grabbed the ski pole. I got out on the ice and with difficulty," he told the Siberian Times.
"To be honest, I wasn't scared, probably because I did not have time. It was lucky there was a reliable friend next to me."
His friend Ilya pulled him from water with his clothes already freezing.
Normally the lake is twice as cold, around -30 degrees, but an unusually warm winter meant its surface has been thinner than usual — as slim as 5cm in some parts.
The thin ice has meant the Ice Storm race which was meant to begin February 6 will likely be postponed due to the unseasonably thin ice.

Royal Family of Floret
Critiques are encouraged…
Nickname: The All Seer, His Majesty
Full Name: Sorrel Southguard
Age: 67
Species: Squirrel
Alignment: Lawful Good
Job: King of Southsward
Description: Sorrel is five [animal] feet tall and weighs 143 [animal] pounds. His fur is dull brown liberally peppered with silver and while he does not have a bent back he frequently experiences back and other joint pains. His left eye is green; a vibrant green very pronounced against his dull, pale fur. His right eye he "lost in a bet" when he was younger and more brash. If ever asked what "lost in a bet" means he becomes evasive and tells a story of knife throwing when he was young and had drunk too much ale. Those who know him well however know he never drank ale when he was young.
-Sorrel has two outfits he frequently wears. His royal garb consists of a dark green jacket, a deep brown vest, a vibrantly colored green and brown cloak, a pair of brown gloves, a pair of brown boots (All five items with gold trim), an ebony wood and onyx crown, and a black velvet eyepatch. His relaxing wear consists normally of a white tunic under a sea green vest and a thick brown cloak to keep the chill out, as well as his usual eyepatch.
-Sorrel still has a powerful, carrying voice that can be heard in all corners of the court like a deep resounding drum. He is known across Southsward as the All Seer because of his uncanny ability to predict the outcome of events, large or small. Many believe he possesses the power to see the future but he assures them such power is rare and impossible to control consciously even for those who possess it like Joseph the Bellmaker in ages past, who only saw the future in his dreams. While not the greatest king Floret has ever known Sorrel is by no means a bad king. Just and uncommonly wise he has ruled the land for over forty-five years, ever since his father passed the crown to him on his deathbed. In private he is known to be a constantly brooding beast with a great love for his surviving family and the art of music. He gets tired easily at his age and yet often shows reluctance to sleep, a stubbornness that has plagued him ever since he lost his eye.
Possessions: Floret castle and its surrounding kingdom, a black crown, an old ruby ring, and a black key.
- As king he has the power to order almost anything done, so long as those being ordered are law abiding citizens of Floret.
- The legends surrounding him are not entirely without merit. He has been known to accurately predict things far more often than should be possible.
- After living for over half a century he has amassed a wealth of wisdom which he uses to help those younger than him find their path.
- (Paid with his eye) Being a squirrel without depth perception making any sort of jump could be deadly to Sorrel, and so his days of climbing and acrobatics are long done.
- As old as he is it can only be expected that his physical abilities, even those not affected by his missing eye, are greatly diminished.
Personality: At court he is forceful and direct, lacking the finesse of a diplomat but rather garnering the respect of a stern father. He treats his subjects as his children and thus many see him as a father figure, or rather, a grandfather figure. In private Sorrel is reserved and quiet much of the time, seeming both pleased and melancholy much of the time when he does get to talking. He loves both his kingdom and his people, but he will not hesitate to order the destruction of those who would threaten either.
Background: King Sorrel began his life as prince Sorrel, eldest son of King Brandon, the great grandson of Gael the Squirrelking. In his early years before the death of his father, back when he still had both eyes, he was actually quite a brash and boastful squirrel, fond of displaying his various skills for all to see and praise instead of doing his chores and duties. He also had a great love of exploration, nosing around the entire castle and much of the surrounding country with great thoroughness. It was this unquenchable curiosity that eventually led to his discovery of the black key, and later, the black door.
After the eventual passing of his father Sorrel ascended to the throne and took over as King of Floret. This worried many beasts in the kingdom, seeing as Sorrel was only seventeen years old at the time, and still as arrogant and boastful as he had always been, despite his ways being tempered slightly by the death of his father. The first year of Sorrel's rule was uneasy at best. There were no disasters of truly terrible merit but there was a marked decline in the quality of Floret's leadership and governance. The young king preferred to let his generals and various ranking officials handle much of the kingdom's needs for him. The conflicting views of these officials led to strife inside the court and instability in the kingdom however. Floret castle was starting to slide toward decay at least, and at worst open civil war.
All the while the young king continued to explore the castle with eager abandon, except now he was permitted to go wherever he pleased. It was in his father's study, behind a false section of stone wall, that he found the black key. Made of pitted black iron and clearly centuries old if not older, the key was heavy, obviously important for it to be hidden so cunningly, and had once borne the shape of a creature on the bow that had since eroded into obscurity. Not knowing to what lock the key fit Sorrel decided to leave the key in its hiding place. A few months later, as the kingdom slipped further and further out of the oblivious king's grasp, Sorrel discovered a door in the dungeons that did not lead to a cell, but rather seemed to lead deeper into the heart of the hill castle Floret was built upon. He was baffled about how to open it until he noticed how familiar the pitted black bands of metal bracing the door looked. He quickly retrieved the black key from its hiding place and returned, trying the ancient key in the ancient lock. He turned the key… and stepped through.
The next time the King was seen he had lost his eye to the shock of his officials and looked several years older, or perhaps simply more mature. The day after his descent into the heart of the hill Sorrel held court himself for the first time and set about trying to fix the wounds of his negligence. It was not easy, and it was not fast, but slowly, over the course of roughly two years, the kingdom struggled back to peace and prosperity. Under the suddenly watchful eye and firm paw of King Sorrel his officials came to grudgingly bend to his unprecedented foresight and wisdom. They did not set aside their disagreements, but at least accepted the king's verdict in favor of one, the other, or something else entirely.
After the restabilizing of the kingdom several decades of peace and relative silence followed in the great southern kingdom. Southsward prospered in trade with the other great settlements of the continent, Sorrel met and wed his wife and queen Tianna and together they had three children. The peace was not total however. Tianna died giving life to their youngest daughter, and that same year a band of vermin attacked from the south, leaving hundreds dead before Floret's army could repel them. In the present Floret is in a state of quiet tension as diplomats and citizens from a settlement across the sea have begun creeping into the court and into the city surrounding the castle.
As for the King's dive into the heart of the hill, no one knows what he found down there, and he only ever told Tianna that there was even a door leading anywhere. With his queen passed on only the King himself remains who knows what is buried in the Earth beneath castle Floret.

I've always liked the name Sorrel. His backstory is rather curious, and I'm taking a guess as to what could possibly be under the hill. Possibly a monster of some kind, since there was an eroded shape of a creature on the key. Perhaps we shall find out the full story some time? Anyway, I look forward to seeing him being roleplayed.
Here's my drawing of Sorrel…
Uum, right… It's not there. How do you insert a picture?

try just adding it to the gallery and i'll accept it? Might work better
That's what I just did…
Added the rest of the family, finally x.x
Sorry it took so long; I've just had lots of stuff going on.
Nickname: The Iron Rose
Full Name: Rosaline Southguard
Age: 45
Species: Squirrel
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Job: General and Commander of the Guard
Description: Rosaline is six [animal] feet tall and weighs 190 [animal] pounds. Her fur is a deep brown with tufts of maroon at the tips of her ears as well as on her feet and paws. Hey eyes are the same vibrant green as her father's, only she has two of them. She has a quite rigid way of standing that displays the influence of her military training. She is incredibly strong for a squirrel maid. She was born with only one paw, her left one. Her right arm ends in a smooth, furred stump at the wrist.
-Rosaline is usually only seen in one outfit, her armor. Made with the finest steel available in the south her armor is a full suit of plate mail that covers her neck, arms, torso, and down to her knees. She also wears a pair of thick boots covered in steel plates and a helmet. On her right arm she always wears a harness that straps to her forearm and covers her stump with a metal base, allowing her to lock into place several different prosthetic replacements for her paw, including a hook, a wooden paw, a foot long spearhead, and a shield that locks into place then straps to her arm further to avoid being wrenched off in battle. When at court or otherwise not on the field she tends to leave her helmet in her room and keep her armor well-polished. Once in a great while she may even remove her armor and don a dress for a special occasion.
-Rosaline has her father's strong, booming voice only in feminine form. This is an invaluable aspect of her seeing as she has to command vast swaths of soldiers on the field with nothing but messengers and her own voice. When not on the field however she is very tight lipped. She is not a fan of small talk and acts harshly towards almost everyone. Only orphans, children, and her family members get her to soften somewhat, but she usually treats even them with a crisp, calculated attitude. She has a deeply set need to control herself that was in her even before she joined the military.
Possessions: A suit of armor, a polearm as tall as she is with a foot long blade at the end, and a collection of prosthetic paws.
- Years of training has given her incredible strength almost equivalent to that of a fully grown badger lord.
- Despite having one paw she has developed techniques allowing her to use most weapons.
- Having only one paw makes many daily tasks difficult for her.
- Despite her self-control her temper frequently flares to dangerous heights.
- She is incapable of having children, much to the disappointment of her former husband.
Personality: Rosaline has a very militaristic personality. Formal and distant she has very few friends beyond those who knew her well before she got married. She tends to treat everyone like soldiers and holds them to the same standards. Some of her former sweetness still survives though in her love for flowers and sympathy for orphans.
Background: Rosaline was the first daughter of King Sorrel and Tianna. Strong from birth, she often played with the boys in court, rough-housing and climbing the many towers of the castle. She did enjoy playing with the other girls too though, often taking the roll of the leader among them and leading them strait into trouble. She once led a raid on the kitchens and it took three days of negotiating to get her to release the cooks.
Her brother Jacob was born when Rosaline was 12. His inability to walk saddened the boy's mother, while Sorrel was more distressed than one would expect, even under the circumstances. Rosaline on the other hand was ecstatic. She loved the idea of having a little brother and took to pretending he was her own little baby. She helped raise him in whatever way she could, despite assurances that that wasn't necessary. His disability continued to depress the boy's mother despite his burgeoning intellect, her sadness growing slowly with time.
During this time Rosaline was growing up into a healthy young lady, and she began catching the eyes of the boys in court she'd grown up with. Naturally, being of noble birth, the squirrel she eventually married wasn't entirely her choice. Her husband to be was the son of a powerful kingdom far to the south-east, and their marriage would solidify a truce between the two kingdoms. While he wouldn't have been her first choice in a husband she eventually became fond of him and by the time she was old enough to marry him she had fallen in love with him. The two of them were wed and they moved to his home in the south-east, Rosaline eager and full of life.
A year later, on a drizzly, sad day, a small escort from the kingdom returned to Southsward with Rosaline and bad news in tow. It had taken time to be sure but to the devastating realization of both Rosaline and her new husband the princess was infertile, so no heir would ever be produced from their union. Upon realizing this her husband quickly became cold toward her. Despite her best efforts Rosaline's marriage to the future king collapsed. In time he divorced her and sent her back to Southsward in disgust along with news that because of this "betrayal of his kingdom's trust" the truce was void.
Her parents tried to comfort Rosaline but the bright, energetic girl was gone. Crushed both by her sterility and being rejected so harshly she lost all lust for life. She spent her time alone, wandering the castle, and just wiling away the days. Some say they even saw her standing atop the battlements on occasion, staring down at the ground hundreds of feet below in a very unnerving way. She stayed that way for almost another full year.
Time passed and Sorrel managed to renew the truce with the southern kingdom but Rosaline never recovered. She never again played or joked like her younger self. She was listless for a long time, but she did eventually find something to live for. One day, while aimlessly wandering the courtyard, the elderly badger in charge of training recruits for the Southsward army saw her. This wasn't the first time he'd seen her, but something about that day made him crack. He walked over to the despondent princess and wordlessly held out a practice sword, hilt-first. She stared at it, but didn't take it. She didn't take it the next day either, or the next, or the next. The old badger persisted though. Over time Rosaline began to get annoyed at the badger's constant interrupting of her walks until one day she glared at him ferociously as he approached as usual and snatched the sword from his paw.
It wasn't happiness, but it was something.
For the next several years of her life Rosaline poured all her frustration and depression into her training. Despite having only one paw the old badger soon found the princess to be unusually proficient with polearms, and her extensive education gave her an aptitude for strategy. Sorrel of course paid close attention to his broken daughter's new passion. While at first being hesitant about the situation he eventually gave his blessing on his daughter's new course in life. Rosaline was indoctrinated into the city guard where she served for several months before being moved up to the royal guard.
Meanwhile the kingdom to the south, viewing their northern neighbor as weak, took greater and greater advantage of their truce with Southsward. They blocked trade routes, extorted visiting citizens, and even began pushing the border with Southsward north. It was only once the army of the kingdom sacked a small village near the border that Sorrel raised Southsward's own forces in a show of strength to crush their neighbor back in line. Among the forces that marched south was Rosaline, under the protection of the royal guard. Somewhere along the path however the aggressive princess managed to disguise herself as a soldier and when the army arrayed on the field to retake the village, she was on the front lines.
The war lasted several weeks, longer than anyone expected. In the end the southern army, crippled, was forced back across the border and a portion of the army was left to man the border and make sure they stayed there. Upon returning to castle Floret story's quickly spread of Rosaline's exploits. Her parents were shocked to find their daughter had been the deadliest soldier on the field, as well as the most intuitive, several times leading her chosen squad out of lethal situations with few to no deaths.
Grudgingly Sorrel admitted her prowess and raised her rank to general, with the added bonus of keeping her off the field and close under his watch again.
Nickname: Quill
Full Name: Jacob Southguard
Age: 33
Species: Squirrel
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Job: Prince of Southsward
Description: Jacob would be five and a half [animal] feet tall if he could stand and weighs 160 [animal] pounds. He has the vibrant red fur of his late mother and a splash of brown at the end of his tail. His eyes are dark blue, also like his mother. He has not been able to stand since he was born, his legs paralyzed from the knees down. He can still work his legs above the knees but has never successfully been able to walk. He is normally carried about in a chair with long poles that can be affixed to the side so he can be carried. The poles can then be detached so he can sit normally without obstruction. His legs, due to inactivity, are thin and frail, and prone to random pains.
-As the prince of Southsward Jacob frequently wears garments similar to his father?s, consisting of jackets, vests, gloves, and cloaks, as well as a richly embroidered blanket to cover his lower half. He enjoys dressing in different colors every day, mostly bright colors as opposed to the more traditional earthy tones of the Southsward royalty. When not in public Jacob enjoys wearing a simple cloak, ironically colored a dark, earthy green.
-Jacob is not fond of "caterwauling" as he calls the booming voices of his sister and father. As such he almost never addresses large crowds, and when he does he sounds strained and angry. He much rather prefers to hold meetings with people who need to talk to him in small groups or privately, one-on-one; be they noble or common. He has a young, energetic voice when speaking, only briefly pausing to breathe. It?s been said that the strength from Jacob?s legs doubled back in his lips, and evidence supports the theory if his long, detailed, and almost frantic discussions on every topic are evidence.
Possessions: His chair, a pet moth, a pipe, and the castle library.
- Decades of being trapped inside for the most part gave Jacob endless time to spend doing less physical activities, such as reading, thinking, writing, more thinking… did I mention reading? At any rate, he has become fairly intelligent, well read, and clever.
- Crippled from the knees down.
- No weapons proficiency.
- Reclusive.
- Massively self-conscious.
Personality: Jacob has always been self-conscious about his legs and has fairly low self-esteem because of it. He doesn't like meeting new people because they inevitably stare and pity him. He prefers to bury himself in his work and as such is the most knowledgeable of the Southguard family, often confusing those he tries to discuss things with.
Background: Pending…
Nickname: Minnow
Full Name: Tilly Southguard
Age: 8
Species: Squirrel
Alignment: True Neutral
Job: Princess
Description: Tilly is three [animal] feet tall and weighs 83 [animal] pounds. Her fur is a pale brown all over her body and her eyes are sea green. She has a tendency to stand in one spot and stare at the ground, like she can hear something down there, though not so often that anyone could mistake her for shy. She loves to run and climb and play with other beasts of her age. Sadly, she was born without the ability to talk.
-Tilly normally wears a dark green tunic and brown trousers under a loose bright green dress, so that she looks proper and courtly but is ready to play and scamper about at a moment's notice.
Possessions: A cloth doll in the shape of a badger named "Mrs. Rumbles"
- Her youth and species make her very nimble and acrobatic.
- She has no voice.
- Her age makes her naive and vapid.
Personality: Tilly enjoys playing with her fellow dibbuns as much as she enjoys playing by herself. She loves to climb around the castle and explore. She has an odd interest in exploring underground as well, like she wants to find a way inside the hill. She is very friendly but her inability to talk makes her seem distant to most.
Background: Pending…

"Woman who stole from charity sentenced"
I kid you not, this was the headline in Arrowtown this morning. A deeply troubled town… I think the town elders will need to meet up and take drastic measures to prevent further social decay of their little idyllic town.
A couple of days ago, we thought we might take a coach from Queenstown to Milford Sound and stay an extra night in Arrowtown, as we didn't want to face a difficult mountain road. But a fellow traveller (a lady from Vancouver whose campervan was stopped at the same lookout point as us) told us yesterday that the road from Arrowtown to Te Anau was fine (and their campervan was bigger than ours), so we decided to chance it, and we're glad we did. The road follows lake Wakatipu for a bit (spectacular views, and a good wide road), then, after Kingston, it follows a wide valley for most of the way to Te Anau. Not a single switch-back bend or narrow stretch of road (see map here). And Te Anau is such a glorious setting – Te Anau Lake and the Fjordland mountains in the background make for perfect photo opportunities all along the shore. The Top 10 caravan site is quite packed, but we have a good spot at the back, and the sun has been shining all afternoon, so we've had a great day all told. Hopefully the weather will hold for tomorrow (the 4 Square checkout lady told us it was supposed to), as we're going to Milford Sound on a Fly-Cruise-Coach trip. But even if it's raining in the morning, I'm sure we'll have a great day. Those mountains look spectacular, even in the rain, I'd say. Just as well, as it rains a lot in the Fjordland – 6 metres of rain per year!
PS: As it turned out, the weather "collapsed" at Milford Sound the following morning, and we ended up on a coach rather than a plane. And we were glad we did - we were not supposed to make contact with the tour company until 11 am, for a 12 o'clock flight, but we happened to walk by their office at 9:30, and I decided to pop in. They told us that they wouldn't be flying, but they could book us onto a 10:00 coach. It was a mad dash back to the campsite - thankfully I had our bags organised the previous evening - and we got on the coach all right.
Fabulous road (plenty of narrow roads and switchbacks, and quite a few coaches working to a schedule, so we were delighted not to be in the campervan), and Milford Sound was out of this world. The weather was not quite as "collapsed" as they had made it out to be, and it lifted enough later in the day for planes to land and take off. Brendan has flown to and from Milford Sound on Microsoft Flight Simulator, and we would have loved to experience it for real, but it wasn't meant to be!
When we got to Milford Sound, it was straight onto a boat for our cruise. Brendan and I got the best spot on the boat - right at the front on the open deck. We were glad of our extra layers and rain jackets. It was breezy and cool. And wet when we sailed straight through a low cloud. I took lots and lots of pictures, but none of them quite render the sheer magnitude of the place, and the sense of wilderness (despite the few other big boats on the fjord).
Milford Sound is a place I'd definitely would like to go back to, and stay overnight, as the light is said to be best at dawn and dusk.

About 100 people stripped naked in front of Facebook's New York headquarters on Sunday, as part of a protest against what they view as censorship regarding Facebook and Instagram's policies around artistic nudity.
As dawn rose over the city, the demonstrators lay naked on the road, each with large images of male nipples covering their genitalia.
The protest — called #wethenipple — was organized and photographed by internationally-renowned American artist Spencer Tunick and the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC).Members of women's rights group Grab Them By The Ballot took part in the demonstration.
The group said in a statement it was "challenging the censorship of artistic female nudity by Facebook and Instagram's 'community standards.
'"Facebook owns Instagram; CNN contacted both social media companies for comment, but had not received a reply at the time of publishing.
Grab Them By The Ballot's mission is to "empower women around body positivity and encourage female voter turnout in 2020," it said in a statement.
But the group's founder, Dawn Robertson, said the group has been censored by Facebook after posting artistic nude images of women.Robertson said Facebook permanently disabled the group's ad account after it posted a nude painting with a celebratory poem for Mother's Day.
She said her personal account had also been banned six times after she posted artistic images of naked women. In correspondence seen by CNN, Facebook apologized and said it was "wrong" to have done so, but Robertson said she was later banned again.Follow @nydjlive

Check out this disorienting monstrosity. https://t.co/tai6NPIHCH
— Emily Heller (@MrEmilyHeller) July 2, 2019
Comedian Emily Heller asked her audience on her podcast to draw a bicycle from memory (no references allowed!). It should be easy, right? I mean we can draw many things from memory like a pigeon, a chair, a couch, or a car. But perhaps it is a different case when drawing bicycles. For some reason, we know how a bicycle looks like, or how it should look like, but we don't know how to draw it.
Can you draw a bike properly from memory?

Here is one of the drawings. Check the others out on Funny or Die and have a good laugh.

FIVE young cricketers from a Yeadon team have been awarded prizes for their superb performance throughout the season.
The budding players from Green Lane Cricket Club's under 11s mixed team won their awards from White Cross Vets which became the team's official new kit sponsor earlier this year. The Guiseley veterinary practice also sponsored two trophies at the team's prizegiving event.
Finlay Walker won the batting prize after scoring 120 runs during the season and Eva Lewis was rewarded for her bowling performance, which saw her take 34 wickets. The managers award was presented to Lewis Baldwin for his commitment to the game.
In addition, the White Cross Vets award for improvement was given to Charlotte Lewis, for taking her first wickets and scoring 25 runs. The White Cross Vets award for moment of the season was given to Zane Watson who took three wickets and made an outstanding catch in a match against Horsforth.
The trophies were presented by clinic director Tom Ward.
He said: "As a practice with an 80-year history in Guiseley, it's great to support this young local cricket team which gives boys and girls the opportunity to learn the sport. It's clear that everyone involved thoroughly enjoys playing cricket and we were delighted to be a part of the team's prizegiving event."
Green Lane Cricket Club's under-11s was launched by coach, Rachel Lewis, after her daughter watched her older brother playing cricket and decided she wanted to play. As there were no other girls at the club, Rachel decided to take English Cricket Board approved coaching qualifications, in the hope that a female coach would help to attract more girls.
She said: "This was only the team's third season and it's been great fun, with lots of exciting moments and the whole team have done extremely well, but these five individuals enjoyed a particularly memorable summer. It's great to reward them with these prizes and we're already planning for next year."

Renaissance had returned to NYC once again and was performing in Rockefeller Park as part of the River To River Festival. This free outdoor concert was going to pair them up with the legendary Steve Hackett (formerly of Genesis) and I could think of no two acts that would fit together so well. Click the bands logo below to read the full article on the main PiercingMetal.com site. We have tons of photos of both performers that we think you will enjoy very much.
Artist: Renaissance
Venue: Rockefeller Park (New York, NY)
Opener: Steve Hackett
Date: 6/23/2010
Label: Independent Artist
Tonight promised to be a very cool evening even though the summer heat was blazing down upon us and holding firm at just over 90 degrees. The show that was happening would be one that would close out my almost daily attendance of killer shows that had been happening around the city over the last several days. This evening was more of a Progressive meets Classical Art Rock night but I had started out my adventures with the likes of Pestilence, a legendary Technical Death Metal band from the Netherlands and followed their show with a little big of Gregg Rolie Band, Winger, Three Friends and Uriah Heep………whew. It makes me tired just mentally revisiting it. The event on the musical menu tonight would be held down in beautiful Rockefeller Park in Battery Park City and this outdoor event was a part of the River To River Festival that was sponsored by American Express. It's nice to find such a major company doing its best to deliver free music to the fans during these trying economic times and this pairing was certainly something very interesting to be a part of because the show found the legendary Classical Art Rock band Renaissance performing with the equally legendary Steve Hackett from Genesis. The idea that these two great talents were going to present music to their fans in this wonderful setting was very simply awesome. Here is how the night went for those who did not make it down to the show.

Nicki Minaj Publicizes Engagement to Meek Mill With Pic Of Giant Ring!
This past Wednesday Nicki Minaj tweeted what seemed like engagement news about herself and rapper boyfriend Meek Mill, sharing an emoji of a diamond ring and the words, "I'll post it later." Perhaps related, on Monday evening, Mill shared a yellow heart emoji on Twitter.
Later in the day, she posted a photo of an actual ring: what looks to experts like a 15-carat fancy yellow heart modified brilliant cut diamond mounted in platinum with a double halo of white pavé diamonds. Something of that size and quality could retail for around half a million dollars – shocking in its opulence yet perfect for an A-list engagement!
Rumors of the intensifying relationship started circulating this past February, when Minaj shared a picture of Mill kissing her on the cheek.

"A pair of skis are the ultimate transportation to freedom."
- Warren Miller
Is it really winter without going to the mountains to ski at least once? Maybe, but not just as fun.
I'm in luck, because not too far away from my town there is a ski resort where I like to go as much as I can during winters.
For those who are not around my area, the place is called Arieseni, skis for rent are cheap and so are the hotels.
Ski equipment are bought from Decathlon (seen in photos).
A weekend on the mountains for fresh air and some good ski or snowboard are a perfect way to relax and zoom out of every day stress. I love winter sports.
For those who don't know how to ski or snowboard there are special teachers for that, so don't worry and go out in the snow.
The feeling is like no other.
There are many alternative hotels around the area to stay, much cheaper of what I picked out.
The place I stayed at is called Haus Am Berg, beautiful mountain view from the room, great food (had vegan options: their golden potatoes with grilled veggies were delicious).
Breakfast was included. It had its own spa with an indoor pool and sauna and free parking spot. (don't forget to bring your bikini)
But it was one of the most expensive places, and you truly don't need a fancy hotel to enjoy your trip.
Most of your stay you're going to spend outdoors anyway.
Cheaper alternatives: SkiPass.
But yes, I did love the place.
Don't forget to get glam ladies!

CLUMPY is a public code for semi-analytical calculation of the gamma-ray flux astrophysical J-factor from dark matter annihilation/decay in the Galaxy, including dark matter substructures. The core of the code is the calculation of the line of sight integral of the dark matter density squared (for annihilations) or density (for decaying dark matter). The code can be used in three modes: i) to draw skymaps from the Galactic smooth component and/or the substructure contributions, ii) to calculate the flux from a specific halo (that is not the Galactic halo, e.g. dwarf spheroidal galaxies) or iii) to perform simple statistical operations from a list of allowed DM profiles for a given object. Extragalactic contributions and other tracers of DM annihilation (e.g. positrons, antiprotons) will be included in a second release.

ZONING — A settlement agreement to resolve a zoning dispute should be interpreted within the context of the dispute and not merely by its exact words.
Pursuant to a consent judgment, a municipality agreed to permit a sexually-oriented business to operate, but only subject to conditions set forth in the judgment. The business operated in the rear half of a 10,000 square foot building and was only permitted to display bathing suits and lingerie in its windows. No adult products, videos or DVD's were to be visible from outside the store. In addition, the store's interior was not to be visible from the windows, and window displays could not be located on the side of the building that fronted one specific road. The municipality issued a certificate of non-conformity for the store after adopting a zoning ordinance that authorized sexually-oriented businesses, but only as a conditional use in a different zoning district. That certificate described the location of the business as a 5,000 square foot rear location adjacent to the road with windows that could not be used for display purposes.
The business applied to relocate its business from the rear to the front of the building. Under this proposal, the store's floor area would remain the same, but it would front on a state highway. The zoning officer denied this application, believing the use to be contrary to the consent judgment. It was his thinking that the settlement was intended to limit the exposure and visual impact of the adult use. In the appeal that followed, the lower court concluded that the denial violated the terms of the consent judgment, finding the judgment did not restrict adult uses to a particular section of the premises. It entered an order permitting the business to occupy the front portion of the premises.
Now, on appeal by the municipality, the Appellate Division reversed the lower court's order, finding that the court had erred in construing the consent judgment to permit the business to move from the rear of the building to the front, where it would primarily face a state highway. According to the Court, the business had been operating for nearly six months prior to entering into the consent judgment, and it concluded that the consent judgment, when referring to the store, was referring to the store in that rear location. Further, the judgment restricted window displays facing a specific road. The Court thought this restriction would be meaningless if the premises could move to the front of the building because it would no longer exist adjacent to that road. Additionally, the consent judgment referred to limits on viewing the business's products so as not to offend the sensibilities of the public, and the outward appearance of the business would be magnified if it were permitted to relocate facing the state highway. Finally, the Court cited the certificate of non-conformity which referenced the business as existing in the rear section of the building.

Above is the 1364 with the original compound cylinders.
Below is the 1364 with the simple single cylinder configuration.
The idea behind the vauclain compound cylinder system is to take full advantage of the steam pressure energy by using it a second time. The second cylinder being bigger required less pressure to get the same energy output. This proved to be very economical as it took less coal to generate the same horsepower. However despite the best math one or the other cylinder pushed harder in a given moment putting stress on the yoke that joined the 2 cylinder's pushrods. The cost of maintenance exceeded the savings on coal therefore in 1924 simple cylinders were installed on the 1364 at the cost of $79.06.
To the right is the patent for the vauclain compound.

Captive deer must retain tags
The captive deer breeder industry has spent a fortune over the last four legislative sessions proposing laws to bulldoze prudent regulation of their industry in an attempt to squeeze more dollars out of Texas bucks. Texans collectively own all wildlife in the state. It is called the public trust.
The deer breeder industry works much like our driver's license, where Texas Parks and Wildlife Department sells a permit for the privilege to place deer in small high-fenced pens, inside which the breeders manipulate the creatures to grow the biggest pair of antlers.
The House Culture, Recreation and Tourism Committee recently heard the first in a slew of bills the deer breeder industry sponsored. House Bill 2855 by Rep. Chris Paddie, R-Marshall, requests removal of the visible ear tag on captive deer. Rep. Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, sat in as a special guest with the committee like a bouncer to help attack opposition to the breeder agenda.
Most of the growth in the deer breeder industry has been in the "put and shoot" canned hunting business. The bread-and-butter of this industry is growing big bucks to be relocated in trailers to semiwild, high-fenced "hunting preserves," where lots of money is spent to kill the "buck of a lifetime."
In Texas, there are two kinds of whitetail deer — those that receive pharmaceuticals, and the native, natural, wild kind. For a quick education, there are no drugs manufactured for deer. The deer held in captivity survive on routine medication due to the unnatural environment and density of animals. The deer industry survives on manipulating extra label use of pharmaceuticals to enhance antler growth. Beyond animal welfare, we should be outraged these animals are given any illegal drugs.
Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman, proposed House Bill 3723, which would allow deer breeders to sell the meat of rejected deer that routinely have been jacked up on drugs.
The breeder industry falls financially between cattle hide sales, annual wheat harvests and our caged egg industry, but instead of contributing to the state, the breeder industry continues to drain wildlife agency budgets and jeopardize natural resources.
There are lots of private property issues at stake here, and whitetail deer aren't one. Breeder deer can commingle with wild populations. We need to be able to identify breeder deer visually in emergency situations and before hunter harvests. Lawyers will eventually want to identify specific deer breeders for when escaped breeder deer contaminate a neighbor's property with chronic wasting disease, or CWD, or other diseases. We need to take steps to make breeder deer more identifiable, and educate our legislators and the hunting public about the two kinds of whitetail deer in Texas.
With recent outbreaks of CWD on ranches in Medina County, real estate prices have begun to take a dive locally, as contaminated land is in low demand. Instead of legislators focusing on increasing the economic benefit to this small industry, we need our elected officials to be more concerned about the negative impact on native wildlife populations. A major disease outbreak unchecked could cause more in damage to rural real estate values than the industry generates as a whole.
Never in our history has there been a group of so-called sportsmen who have spent more money and time whining about game and fish regulations. We must preserve our great hunting heritage and protect the species entrusted to our care. In society, our community is defined by how we treat our natural resources, where the value we put on wild things today defines the world we will pass on to future generations.
Your voice is needed to defend whitetail deer.

In this guide, you will learn how to package your Laravel application into a machine image that can be loaded directly into Amazon Web Services EC2 instances. This is a different approach to the traditional way of choosing an instance image and type (for example Ubuntu on a t2.micro) and then adding your code onto the machine.
We will be reusing some of the code from my previous guide – reusing some of the code from my previous guide – reusing some of the code from my previous guide – reusing some of the code from my previous guide – Provisioning Laravel with Vagrant. We will be mainly looking at the provisioning part, where we use a bash script to update the system, install packages, and configure software.
Cost – This guide uses Amazon Web Services. Many of the processes we run in this guide require the AWS platform and this does mean that you may incur some costs on your AWS account. These should be very minor and we also try to stick to the 'free tier' to keep costs as low as possible. Unless you keep resources running, we are talking about a few dollars or less.
What is Packer?
Packer is an open source tool created by Hashicorp that allows you to create machine images or containers for multiple platforms from a single configuration. This means that you can write your configuration and easily create images that can run on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Azure.
Installing Packer
To install Packer, we need to head over to the official website downloads section here: https://www.packer.io/downloads.html . You should see a list of Operating Systems and CPU architecture options. I'll be using the Mac OS X 64bit version. Once you click the link then your download should start automatically.
Packer file
The download will be in the .zip format and contains a single executable binary. After extracting the binary file, I came across a few permission issues with this file. To overcome these issues and to allow us to call the 'packer' command system-wide, we need to move it using the following command:
sudo mv /Downloads/packer /usr/bin/
Note: If you come across an error, depending on your system you may have to run the following command instead;
sudo mv /Downloads/packer /usr/local/bin
You should now be able to run the 'packer' command in your terminal and see a similar output:
Congratulations, you have now installed Packer on your system. Let's get started! Before we create a machine image using Packer, we need to learn about one of the core parts – the configuration template.
Configuration template
Packer requires a configuration template to create its images or containers, it uses this as its single source of truth. The configuration template is in the JSON format and is made up of multiple sections:
Code: builders
Required: Yes
The 'builders' section tells Packer which builder will be used to create the machine image or template. An example for AWS would be to use the "amazon-ebs" builder option which creates an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) backed by an EBS volume to be used by an EC2 instance.
Code: description
Required: No
The 'description' section allows you to write some information about the Packer template. This information can be seen when the "packer inspect" command is run. Using a description can be helpful if you have many Packer configurations or a team of developers / engineers, so that everyone understands.developers / engineers, so that everyone understands.
Min Packer Version
Code: min_packer_version
Required: No
The 'min_packer_version' section allows you to specify a minimum version of Packer that can parse the template. It may be that you have tested your configuration with Packer version 0.12.0, and it works, but there are issues with Packer version 0.11.0, so in this case you can set the minimum version to 0.12.0._version' section allows you to specify a minimum version of Packer t
Post Processors
Code: post-processors
Required: No
The 'post-processors' section allows you to tell Packer what to do after the machine images or containers have been created. The 'post-processors' section can be seen as the housekeeping part. For example, you may need to compress a file or possibly upload any artifacts that the i
mage relies upon.
Code: provisioners
Required: No
The 'provisioners' section allows you to tell Packer how to provision the machine image or container. An example of a provisioner would be a shell script that updates the system then installs and configures software.
Code: variables
Required: No
The 'variables' section allows you to define variables to be used. An example of this could b
e creating a variable for your AWS access key and AWS secret key which will be used later by the AWS builder.
Creating a configuration template
Let's start building our template. The template config file needs to be in the root of your folder. So if we have a folder called 'packer-test' and we want to run packer inside that folder, we will need to make sure the 'config.json' file is saved in there. Let's continue by creating a basic config.json file;file is saved in there. Let's continue by creating a basic config.json file;
"variables": {
"aws_access_key": "",
"aws_secret_key": ""
This is a really simple configuration and won't actually achieve anything, but Packer has a tool built-in called 'validate', and we can utilize this tool by running the following command:
packer validate config.json
And you should see a similar output:
[~] packer validate config.json
Error initializing core: 1 error(s) occurred:
* at least one builder must be defined
How great is that? Packer has checked our config.json file, found an error, and told us what the error is. Let's continue building our template file by adding our 'builders':
"builders": [{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",
"secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",
"region": "us-east-1",
"source_ami": "ami-fce3c696",
"instance_type": "t2.micro",
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
"ami_name": "packer-example {{timestamp}}"
Let's learn more about what we've just added in;
Let's check to make sure our file passes Packer's validation:
Ok, now we know the configuration template is good to go, so we can actually build our image. We can do this by running the following command;
packer build -var "aws_access_key=[YOUR ACCESS KEY]" -var "aws_secret_key=[YOUR SECRET KEY]" config.json
This command can be broken down into three sections;
- We instruct Packer to run its 'build' function
- We pass two variables into the function using the -var flag followed by the variable name and its value. We set those values earlier in the configuration template.
- We finish off the command by telling packer which configuration template we want to use, and in this case it is 'config.json'.
You will now see some green output in your terminal and see Packer's step by step process. If everything is successful, then you should see a similar message:
Great! You have successfully built your first machine image using Packer. This is an Amazon machine image to be used with the Amazon Web Services platform.
This image does not really do anything at the moment so let's add in a provisioner and get our Laravel application setup. Add the following provisioners block into your config.json file:
"provisioners": [{
"type": "shell",
"execute_command": "sudo -S bash '{{.Path}}'",
"script": "provision.sh"
We will set the type to 'shell', and we will be running the command as a 'sudo' user or else we will get lots of permission failure errors and warnings. We will be using the 'provision.sh' file as our script. Let's look at our script and see what software we will be installing and configuring:
echo "Starting provision..."
sleep 30
echo "Updating system..."
sudo apt-get update
echo "Installing essentials..."
sudo apt-get install -y zip unzip python-software-properties curl git
echo "Installing and configuring MySQL database..."
debconf-set-selections <<< "mysql-server mysql-server/root_password password secret"
debconf-set-selections <<< "mysql-server mysql-server/root_password_again password secret"
apt-get install -y mysql-server mysql-client
mysql -u root -psecret -e "CREATE DATABASE homestead;"
mysql -u root -psecret -e "CREATE USER 'homestead'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';"
mysql -u root -psecret -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON homestead.* TO 'homestead'@'localhost';"
mysql -u root -psecret -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
echo "Installing Apache web server..."
sudo apt-get install -y apache2
echo "Installing PHP5 and components..."
sudo apt-get install -y php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt php5-curl php5-mysql php5-cli php5-json php5-mcrypt
sudo php5enmod mcrypt

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
echo "${VHOST}" > /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
echo "Installing and configuring composer..."
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
composer self-update --update-keys
echo "Installing and configuring Laravel..."
mkdir /var/www/html/latest
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel /var/www/html/latest "5.2.*"
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/latest
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/latest/storage
echo "Finished provisioning"
In the script above we are installing and configuring the software required to run Laravel by installing a web server (Apache), a database (MySQL) and any dependencies required (Composer). Now that we have created our 'provision.sh' script, let's start Packer's build process, which we can do by running some of our previous commands:
packer validate config.json
packer build -var "aws_access_key=[YOUR ACCESS KEY]" -var "aws_secret_key=[YOUR SECRET KEY]" config.json
During the build process you should see any output from the system, including the echo statements used in the 'provision.sh' file, so you will be able to see which step the process is currently at and where any errors may occur. Now that we have built our image, at the end of the process you will see a similar output:
==> Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:
--> amazon-ebs: AMIs were created:
us-east-1: ami-a69596b1
Your AMI ID will be different but remember this as we will be using it soon.
Using our AMI in Amazon Web Services
Login to your AWS dashboard, open up the "Services" tab, and navigate to the "Compute" section and click on the "EC2" link:
Once in the EC2 dashboard, on the left-hand side you should see an "IMAGES" menu, click on the "+" button to show its submenu. Click on the "AMIs" link, as shown:
You should now see a list of AMIs, and you may only see 2 if you have never created an AMI before or possibly run an EC2 instance. That's ok as we have just created two images in this guide. Remember that AMI ID we received earlier from the Packer build process (mine was ami-a69596b1). Find this AMI in the list and let's select it:
Click on the blue "Launch" button and a new screen will load. This screen will ask what sort of instance type you would like to use. I will be selecting the "t2.micro" instance as our application is not resource heavy and it's part of the AWS free trial:
When you are ready, click the blue "Review and Launch" button which can be found at the bottom of the page. Our next step is looking into the security of our instance. Security is out of scope for this guide as it can add complexity to the process so we will be keeping the security settings simple.
Navigate down to the "Security Groups" section and click on the blue "Edit security groups" section. We will be using SSH and HTTP in this guide so let's add them both, but restrict the access to our IP address only:
The instance should only allow you to use the HTTP and SSH services running on ports 22 and 80 respectively. Let's continue by clicking the blue "Review and Launch" button. You should now see an overview of the instance we are about to launch. You can make any last changes or click on the blue "Launch" button.
You will now be asked about using a key pair (public key and private key) to be able to connect to your instance:
I've previously set up a key pair so I'll select the "Choose an existing key pair" option and then choose my key pair which is "packer-test". It's really easy to create a new key pair by selecting the "Create a new key pair" option and downloading the .pem file. You will then have to agree to the statement to continue. Let's finalize this process by clicking the blue "Launch Instances" button. You should now see a success message from AWS:
Click on the instance ID (in my case it's i-79e03c6e) and you will then be taken to the instance dashboard which will show you what instances are currently running, or the states of other instances.
Further down the screen you should see a "description" tab that gives us more information about our selected instance. Let's copy the Public DNS value:
Paste this into your browser address bar and load the URL, you should now see the Laravel 5 landing page!
Congratulations, your application is now running within its own Amazon Machine Image live on the AWS EC2 platform.
SSHing into your Instance
If you need to SSH into your instance, then you can do so by running the following command structure in your terminal / command line:
ssh -i [YOUR .PEM FILE] ubuntu@[INSTANCE PUBLIC DNS]
When you first try and SSH into your instance, you may receive a warning similar to this "Load key "[KEY PAIR].pem": bad permissions Permission denied (publickey)." This is because the .pem file requires a certainly permission level. The fix is to 'chmod' your .pem file by running the following command – sudo chmod 0600 [KEY PAIR].pem
For my instance, I would use the following command:
ssh -i /Users/alexbraunton/Downloads/packer-test.pem firstname.lastname@example.com
We use the 'ubuntu' user as this is the value we set the 'ssh_username' variable in our config.json template file. Once SSHd in, you can navigate through the system, edit your application code, update software, etc.
To terminate your instance which will stop the application and stop you being billed any further, head back over to your instance dashboard, select the current instance and right click to show the menu.
Click on the "Instance State" option and then "Terminate" to stop and delete your instance.

EVERYONE loves my cake pops. So when I decided to make them for the 4th of July I had a lot of excited people wanting to come over to our party. The only problem, the morning of the 4th when I was getting ready to dip the pops, I discovered that we no longer have red or blue chocolate melts. Just white and green. Well hopefully half of my guests are colorblind or they don't care that these pops don't match the 4th of July theme because white and green it is! Honestly I know that no one cares what color they are as long as they are made.
I displayed them on the cone that I use every time and before I got a chance to take a photo there were already a few missing! Thats how fast these things go. This time I decided to roll the pops in sugar crystals after I dipped them in chocolate for an added detail. It made them look very Christmasy and I may have to keep that in mind for Christmas time.

The Rounder Girls All To You
"All To You" was the Austrian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in English by The Rounder Girls.
The song is an upbeat number, with the girls describing their feelings for their lovers - or rather, explaining that they can't describe them.
Due to poor performances, Austria was not able to enter the 2001 Contest, however they were permitted to enter the 2002 edition. Thus, the song was succeeded as Austrian representative by Manuel Ortega singing "Say a Word".
