Write and execute a test for an existing app
in less then a 5 mins!
Published on May 13, 2013
This is a guest blogpost by Jon Phipps. Jon explains how to use PhantomJS – the most anticipated testing backend in Codeception.
The Selenium2 driver actually loads and runs an active browser session, manipulating the browser just as a human would. ZombieJS is a 'headless' browser that provides all of the features of a regular browser, but without a display interface. Without the extra time spent waiting for the display to actually render, a headless browser like ZombieJS can run far faster than a normal browser, so you're tests will execute in as little as half the time. But ZombieJS requires installing Node.js and can be a little buggy, plus it has its own API (which has both pros and cons). The Selenium2 driver is well tested and implements a standard API – the WebDriver Wire Protocol – across all of the browsers it has drivers for.
Now there's a headless browser that includes a WebDriver Wire Protocol implementation – PhantomJS. The latest version of PhantomJS is an easy to install, stand-alone binary that doesn't require installing Node.js or any other dependencies, and ships with its own 'Ghost Driver' for implementing the WebDriver Wire Protocol. Which means you can drive it using the Selenium2 driver in Codeception, and anything that you can test in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or IE using Selenium2, you can now test in half the time using PhantomJS
Even though it's not needed to run the most recent PhantomJS, it's a good idea to have Selenium2 installed so you can test in other browsers. If you haven't installed Selenium2, you just need to follow the instructions on the Codeception web site for installing and running the Selenium2 driver. It's pretty simple, but totally optional.
To get started with PhantomJS, just download PhantomJS. The binary is setup and ready to use for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows. Put it, or a symlink to it, somewhere in your path so you can launch it from anywhere.
You're done with installation!
Next, open up a new terminal window and launch PhantomJS, telling it to use the its built-in WebDriver extension to use the port Codeception is listening to (4444 is the default), and leave the window open:
$ phantomjs --webdriver=4444
You should see a response like this in your terminal:
PhantomJS is launching GhostDriver...
[INFO - 2013-05-10T14:11:05.076Z] GhostDriver - Main - running on port 4444
Now just enable the Selenium2 driver in your acceptance.suite.yml file and use the browser setting browser: phantomjs (an example file is on the Selenium2 driver page). If you're changing modules then you should also run php codecept.phar build.
browser: phantomjs
php codecept.phar build
Check it out by doing a fresh Codeception run:
$ php codecept.phar run acceptance
Your tests should now run quietly and silently, and much faster.
You should see some output in your PhantomJS terminal window providing some useful feedback on this session's capabilities provisioning. This happens on every run (the output below are the defaults):
[INFO - 2013-05-10T14:33:43.796Z] Session [9dbc5700-b97e-11e2-8dc9-976d2e8732bf] -

You can adjust these capabilities in your acceptance.suite.yml file like so:
enabled: [Selenium2]
url: 'http://localhost/'
browser: phantomjs
webStorageEnabled: true
I have no idea if capabilities from the larger list of Selenium DesiredCapabilities that are not on the list you see reported from the driver are enabled for PhantomJS.
Headless testing can be a bit of a challenge, since it's impossible to 'see' what failed. But in this case, Codeceptions default logging and screenshot capture on failure can be extremely helpful, since you can then actually see the state of the browser at the point of failure.
There's quite a bit more that you can do with PhantomJS. The CasperJS project makes good use of the PhantomJS API and if you already have NodeJS installed it's a quick and easy way to play with some of the PhantomJS capabilities. CapserJS, aside from requiring NodeJS, only drives PhantomJS. So its not a reasonable alternative to Codeception. Maybe at some point there will be a native Mink driver for the PhantomJS API which will more fully exploit it.
Happy testing.

SMF - Just Installed!
I'm not for sale. And even if I were offering services, they'd be the other way around. I'm a dom, through and through.Of course, there's still time to catch a flight and make the event XD
Except...I originally just wanted to know what everyone was doing for the bunny day, if anything. There's got to be a variant of godwin's law for the flipside forums.The longer a thread goes on here, the probability of sex talk increases from 1.

The school colours were dark green and yellow.
The motto then was "Patientia et Sapientia" meaning Patience and Wisdom.
I graduated from PEES in 1967, and so I do not know when exactly the crest was changed to the new colourful emblem below.
The 'new' school crest with the new motto "Each His Best" and the banner "Princess Elizabeth Estate School" over the torch.
PEES relocated from Hillview to Bukit Batok New Town in 1987 and so the 'estate' became redundant. The school was renamed Princess Elizabeth Primary School and the school crest was then revised to the current school crest.

Click here for Steffie's Profile.
I thought I was an organized person until I met Steffie Tomson. Not only is her physical world covered in to-do lists (literally on her cup, the walls, and tabletops of her office), but her mind is the world's best organizer. Just take a look at the instructional video in the player above and see for yourself!
Every number, day of the week, week of the month, and month of the year has its own color and location. The concepts that we know of as date and time are tangible things that have personality and shape. The rest of us have to buy iPads to experience our metaphysical world as concretely and colorfully as Steffie does. Come to think of it, if Apple could sleekly package Steffie's brain into an iMind, I'd probably be the first in line to buy it.

The saga of bureaucrats masquerading as entrepreneurs, in a business we can ill afford, plays out. For whom does the 'bill' toll? As always, it tolls for thee.
Nalcor's mandate, of course, is far wider than even Muskrat implies. At a time when the House of Assembly is being de-constructed, ostensibly to save a few dollars, we ought to be looking for bigger fish; a place where serious money is being squandered.
Nalcor is one of those places.
In this two part piece, I want to discuss the mandate given Nalcor, and how we might begin to change it. While certain decisions are needed now, no one should be fooled that there is an easy fix for the financial problem that is Muskrat.
Indeed, dismantling Nalcor does not diminish the harm that decision will impose on the Province for decades. But we can stop new commitments of public money being made. We can bring in new management. We can receive an accounting of Muskrat's status with respect to both costs and schedule.
It is time we had an eye to the future.
Newfoundland and Labrador is not unique for its involvement in state-owned capitalism; still, we ought to have learned from past failures and from experiences world-wide.
Already the equity requirement has increased from $1.9 to $3.3 billion. That represents a 47% increased demand from the provincial treasury. The project has a long way to go before even 1 KWh is produced.
Equity for the second plank in Nalcor's mandate, offshore oil and gas, is vaporizing under our noses.
Nalcor also claims a working interest of 99% per cent in two onshore exploration permits in Parson's Pond on the Great Northern Peninsula.
Who can recall Ed Martin 'scrumming' with the media folk or boasting of that venture?
Some of the 99% share was gained only after Nalcor drove away junior players whose smaller budgets could ill-afford its high-spending ways.
Nalcor budgeted approx. $27 million for three wells, getting only two for the money (talk about cost overruns!). The wells were dry and a $5 million road constructed to the site of the third location was abandoned. It never did drill the primary target! Decisions like this are why private investors go bankrupt; in Nalcor's case they hush up their failures and boast being experts.
There was a time, and it was very recent, when the NL government salivated over nearly $35 million of discretionary spending! Those days have returned.
That amount, of course is the small money. Don't forget the larger sums squandered offshore and at Muskrat.
The 5-10% equity stake Nalcor has taken in offshore oil investments are not intended to acquire leverage to keep more work here; unlike Hibernia, except for the accommodations and a flare boom, not another module on the Hebron topside structure is being built in this Province. We will soon find out if we were so well off to have cared less how many jobs went to South Korea. It will be interesting to see how long those returnees from Fort McMurray stay quiet!
The next time an unwise Premier visits your wallet in search of a legacy, think of Nalcor and its destruction of public capital. Just know the decision is going to cost you dearly.

With LinkedIn reaching 225 million members in its first decade, it is the largest professional network worldwide.
This powerful social media platform provides a great opportunity for businesses to establish expertise and thought leadership and engage their target audience.
Through sharing great content, businesses can become thought leaders in their space amongst a network of relevant and engaged professionals.
Social Media Today has offered some great tips on how to create engaging, relevant and shareable content on LinkedIn.
Make content industry specific
Target your content to the relevant industry. What information are people in the industry looking for? What problems are they trying to solve?
Your content should provide value to your target audience by helping them tackle the issues in their industry. It is essential to think of your target market when you're planning, creating and promoting your content.
Take the time to identify and define your niche area of expertise within the industry. Brainstorm a range of creative angles you can take on your topics.
Many businesses now have a selection of good quality content to share such as articles, videos or reports. LinkedIn is a great place to share this content with prospective customers who frequently turn to LinkedIn for professional content.
If you are unable to create your own content, consider using a curation method, which focuses on collating industry relevant content from around the web. Contribute your own perspective on the topic, provide a preview of the post and attribute the work.
Include an image
Social networks continue to thrive on visual content, and using visuals can be the deciding factor in whether your content attracts engagement or is shared.
When sharing an article in either a LinkedIn group or on your own profile, an image will automatically be featured from the post. This image is a good way to visually engage your readers, and increase their likelihood of sharing the content.
Generate a call to action
A compelling call to action can increase the response to your post by 30- 50 per cent or more according to Social Rabbit. A call to action urges the reader to do something, in this case to read on. Remember to include a call to action at the end of each of your LinkedIn posts which explains to the reader why they should read on.
Don't be spammy
It is important you share your content on LinkedIn in a thoughtful and strategic way. When posting, offer more than self-promotion, think about commenting on an article related to your industry, or offering your opinion on some related guest content. The more opportunity you have to share your opinion, the more interested your target audience will be.

As per the Constitution of Canada, health care is mainly a provincial government responsibility in Canada (the main exceptions being federal government responsibility for services provided to aboriginal peoples covered by treaties, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the armed forces, and Members of Parliament). Consequently, each province administers its own health insurance program. The federal government influences health insurance by virtue of its fiscal powers – it transfers cash and tax points to the provinces to help cover the costs of the universal health insurance programs. Under the Canada Health Act, the federal government mandates and enforces the requirement that all people have free access to what are termed "medically necessary services," defined primarily as care delivered by physicians or in hospitals, and the nursing component of long-term residential care. If provinces allow doctors or institutions to charge patients for medically necessary services, the federal government reduces its payments to the provinces by the amount of the prohibited charges. Collectively, the public provincial health insurance systems in Canada are frequently referred to as Medicare.[15] This public insurance is tax-funded out of general government revenues, although British Columbia and Ontario levy a mandatory premium with flat rates for individuals and families to generate additional revenues - in essence, a surtax. Private health insurance is allowed, but in six provincial governments only for services that the public health plans do not cover (for example, semi-private or private rooms in hospitals and prescription drug plans). Four provinces allow insurance for services also mandated by the Canada Health Act, but in practice there is no market for it. All Canadians are free to use private insurance for elective medical services such as laser vision correction surgery, cosmetic surgery, and other non-basic medical procedures. Some 65% of Canadians have some form of supplementary private health insurance; many of them receive it through their employers.[16] Private-sector services not paid for by the government account for nearly 30 percent of total health care spending.[17]
Our health benefit plans, dental plans, vision plans, and life insurance plans have exclusions, limitations and terms under which the coverage may be continued in force or discontinued. Our dental plans, vision plans, and life insurance plans may also have waiting periods. For costs and complete details of coverage, call or write Humana or your Humana insurance agent or broker.

~Airplane Mode~
You are in my pocket lying right next to my warm body, your face resting against my hip as my phone rings a dropped signal.
We communicate in a trio of clouds above mountain ranges, our words aloft in a whirlwind of natural frequencies.
The Appalachians, the Smokies, the Rockies, create an electrified, rarefied atmosphere our hopes, dreams and emotions live in.
I want to answer the call I hear ringing through my headphones, vibrating against my skin, teasing my mind.
Storms flash flood dangerously here as heat swelters unrelenting there, and the connection is disrupted.
It was an accidental dialing, but it did not matter because the connection to me was open in the cloud as I lay listening against your warm body.
I was open in your pocket as the airwaves danced with extreme weather, as I moved against your skin, a mere tap from a breathy whisper upon your soul.
You didn't know I was there. I didn't know I was there with rough words and smooth sighs touching you through the fabric.
I hold you to my chest. My palm slick with sweat as I hold your cool glass face to my heart. The future beckons while the ringtone cracks and falls into the abyss of missed chances.
Somewhere in the steam drenched foothills. Somewhere above rolling green ridges. Some place intimately close and yet far away.
Two broken wings…
In airplane mode…

I sizzled with all the power and jolt
of a lighting bolt
in your stormy night sky
in your azure third eye
in your Hushabye sighs
I etched with all the beauty and grace
of a woman's face
in your darkest gray day
in your work and play
in your hopes and pain
I created with all the passion and heat
of a lover's greed
in your steamy dream time
in your mind's eye
in your thoughts and mine
I gifted with all the caring and hurt
of a complete work
in your vision of future
in your heart the cure
in our strength we endure

Come… be the heartbeat of my poetry. Allow me to dip my thoughts into the azure paint of your eyes and blend myself into your soul.
Come… be the depth of my prose.
Allow me to dive into the dark reaches of your mind and etch myself onto your psyche.
Come… be the high note of my lyric.
Allow me to sing songs in your tune and play music upon your skin.
Come… be the dream in my story.
Allow me to write you down before I forget and figure you out later.
Come… be the truth in my tale.
Allow me to dip my love into the blue skies of your eyes and paint myself onto your hopes.

~Moral Character~
I just want you to know that when you feel like you've done things in your life you know you shouldn't have or have done wrong to yourself or others intentionally or unintentionally, that you are incredibly human. Understanding the concept of right and wrong without judging ourselves into hell is an art. It is self-taught skill and you feel it out on the steep learning curve of moral behavior. Self-driven guilt trips are common on the pathway to enlightenment. The path is often fraught with destruction, construction, ruin and rebuild. We all make a mess or two at one time or another and it is up to each one of us who spilled it, to clean it up.
I think it takes the strongest of heart and the most ancient of souls to allow themselves to be influenced by and to experience their darkest facets, their vulnerabilities, and their monsters. But even more… to come out on the other side better for it. To be able to live all of our sides, good and bad, light and dark, in comfortable agreement. Some things should not be fought with sword and bow. Your personality aspects are but one of these things. I speak from experience and acceptance.
I somehow know this is true… that the better we get at playing this game called life, the older we are in the soul, in the spirit. We've been here and done this before, time and again, and we remember a little more every time and correct our moral compass. It's all about being our authentic self.
No fully integrated, intentionally aware soul got there without crushing a few toes and egos (ecosystems) along the way. (Ecosystems is how auto correct corrected egos. It works too.) We live in a human body for a reason. It limits how easily we can fix the antiquity of things we are capable of destroying in a mere moment. It takes days, years, and decades for a body and mind to build a thing and a flat 4 second 60 to blow it into oblivion. Nothing great ever comes about without a healthy amount of trial and error.
🎶"My Name Is Human" – Highly Suspect🎶
In other words, we are supposed to fuck up, learn, teach, give, take, learn and fuck up again until we wake up. Wake up and work together instead of hurting each other. Just the knowing of this is a reward in itself. There are no inherently bad or good people, just as there are no stone cold good or bad days. It is a choice. All of it is your choice. How you act, how you react, how will you decide to interact with others.
Choose it all but choose wisely would be my advice to the noobs. We are all going to end up the same way, even if we don't know what that means for sure. And we don't know what that means no matter how many scientists and spiritualists try to tell you they know what lies beyond. We will know when we are supposed to if we choose to learn to swim instead of treading water in concrete boots, hip waders and rose colored glasses.
🎶"I Am Human" – Escape The Fate🎶
It just takes some people longer to learn. When you don't learn from your mistakes you make life difficult for everyone. The game of life is hard and the waters are rough when you choose to ignore the stormy weather you generate. Fortunately, most of us eventually learn how to swim naked in a hurricane among the sharks.
Some of us, like you and me, have learned enough on the journey to begin archiving the teachings of our soul and have decided to give them back to humanity in some way. If one sentence, one phrase, one word, one song, strikes one soul in the heart and stops it for a split second, long enough to cause a personal revelation then it was all worth it.
The point of regrettable actions is to understand that they damage everything and everyone and that is unacceptable. Harm no-one, including yourself…
… unless you get up in my grill and threaten this vessel that houses my eternal spirit or someone's I love. Then all bets are off and you have a bigger problem than poor moral character and I'm betting I won't lose much sleep over my potentially ethically corrupt actions.

~Some Days~
Some days we feel like we have it all under control and nothing can stop us. Other days we just want to crawl back under the covers. But let me tell you something friends… All those different days are all the same. All those words used to describe a bad day are our perception of a moment. A day itself isn't inherently shitty. Our outlook on said day is the thing that stinks up the place. Think about these things we say when a day seems like too much.
"Oh, this sucks. It's Monday."
So what? It's yesterday or tomorrow for someone else right now.
"I got up on the wrong side of the bed."
Did you now? What about all those happily successful people who never thought twice about throwing themselves out of whichever side was closest… or had one side against the wall?
"My back hurts/head aches/I'm depressed/Butthurt/ nope day."
Look. If you can take a day off just to baby yourself, then by all means do that. But we all know that is not often an option, so you more than ever have to try to make the best of it. Bitching about it only make all those aches, pains and foul emotions worse.
"I had a fight with my spouse/lover/parent/bff, so today bites."
Did you hear what you just said? I…I had a fight. All those seconds/minutes/hours were there for you to create moments. You created and participated in a fight. It's half your fault, so suck it up and be willing to compromise where possible and apologize when necessary.
"Someone I love died on this day and this date will forever bring sadness and pain."
Yes, it will. Please try to remember the good things, fun times, hard times, all those special memories. Celebrate who this person was in life by doing something they would have loved. A favorite movie, book, or music album. A favorite food, a walk in the woods, a scrapbook of photos. Take the time to roll through the tears until you come out on the side of smiles.
"My boss is a jerk/My co-worker is an asshole/The traffic is a nightmare/Nothing is going right and today is just stupid (f$#t), so get outta my way!"
Honey? The more you carry on like that, the more shit is gonna happen. When you bull your way through and the force that be with you reflects onto your peers and surroundings, it's going to bounce and reverb and stick right back to you. The law of attraction at work. Hang it out there and wave it around and that's what you'll get back.
"I'm having a bad hair day/I look bloated/My clothes don't fit right/I cut myself shaving, so I'm not fit to be seen in public today."
Really? Don't be a drama queen ladies and gentlemen. Assume you look like a star everyday because other people don't notice those little presumed failures a fraction as much as you think they do. Carry yourself with confidence and self worth and that's what people will see.
Be careful how you react to people and situations in your daily routine. Remember that they might be having a shitty day too, and somebody elses day is going to be spoiled by your bad attitude.
Keep this in mind. Some days we do have it all together and that's fine and dandy, but that all of our days are the same until we make them happen instead of allowing them to happen to us. Choose a good day, then you will never have to provide yourself with an excuse to describe a bad one.

~There Was One~
There was one
who sailed to the skies.
A proud one
who had shed his ties.
He battled the storm,
heart steady and warm.
He learned about wrong and right,
never give in without a fight.
There was one
who sailed to the sun.
A lone one
who was the guiding son.
He traveled the world,
adventure cloth unfurled.
He learned about humanity,
the sacred and the insanity.
There was one
who sailed to the stars.
A hard one
who bared many scars.
He plotted his day,
his work and his play.
He learned about hurt and anger,
safe harbors and intense danger.
There was one
who settled in place.
A lost one
who found his grace.
He crafted a home,
of whispers and stone.
He learned about pain and love,
how to pull and how to shove.
There was one
who raised the stakes.
A lone one
who knew what love makes.
She made her plans,
with thought and hands.
She learned about truth and trust,
never give up to do what you must.
There were two,
who sailed forth in time.
The same one sound
who did now rhyme.
They mended the sails,
frayed threads that failed.
They learned about one and one,
never again will they be alone.

I stepped out of a
scream dark dream,
in a dark night
in a dark room
awake from this
cold black thing,
Awake in the shine
of a full on moon,
Awake from the dream
of a black night beam.
Awake in the light,
Aware in the day,
gone til night,
black night ray.
Awake in the night,
Aware in the day,
gone for now,
black night way.
I slipped out of a
grim stark scene,
in a dark night
in a dark room
aware of this
chill black thing.
Awake in the shine
of a full on moon,
Awake from the dream
of a black night beam.

Close enough to burn,
chills ripple on my skin.
Too late to turn,
flames flare once again.
Flames low fatal blue,
hot flicker in my soul.
Flames shaped of you,
and I lose all control.
Moth living in a glass,
your sun molten fire.
Lava wings on the grass,
flames blue red desire.
Flames low searing blue,
hot flicker in my soul.
Flames shaped of you,
and I lose all I know.
Flames strip it bare,
burn flash in my soul.
Flames take what's there,
and I lose all control.
Fire in my blood,
life flows through my veins.
Too late to turn
off this flame scorched flood,
Too late to turn
from the burning highways,
Too late now blazing blue eyes.
Flames low fatal blue,
smoke smells like you.
Chills ripple on my skin,
flames flare once again,
Flames shaped of you,
fire tastes of you.

~ Wild Birds ~
Once upon a time there was a wild lone thing,
wrote songs like a dream filled dream,
taught wisdom in a rhyme so fine,
wild words made the wild birds sing.
Wild words made the wild birds sing,
lost letters lost the night birds bring,
learned rhythm dropped in one two time,
sang tunes made of sunshine dreams.
Wild birds lone ones,
the story is the same,
Wild birds sing songs,
the tale still remains.
Wild birds wild ones,
the verse is the same,
Wild birds sing songs,
the tale sales the fame.
Wild bird you are a wild lone thing,
lyric verse lost wild lost wild dreams,
Wild words made the night birds ring,
Once upon a time child wild birds sing.
Wild birds lone ones,
the tale still remains,
Wild birds wild ones,
the tale sales the fame.

The perils of collaborationSubmitted by Karl Hagen
I am something of a creature of habit, and therefore will stick to the same blogs for a long time. Lately though, I've been trying to expand my reading, and so I've been following links from the sites I frequent to language-oriented sites that I haven't visited before. In the process, I have discovered 1) Language Log really needs to update their links. At least half the sites on their sidebar are defunct.

Don't use the passive?Submitted by Karl Hagen
Almost everyone was taught in school to avoid using the passive voice. Fewer know how to identify the passive voice, but I'm going to assume for the moment that you are part of the elite who can and ask you to do a little grammatical analysis with me.
[to be added]
[to be added]
Consider the difference between the following sentences: (33a) Cerise worked efficiently (33b) Cerise was working efficiently Sentence 33a, which uses the simple past tense, refers in general to a completed action. Sentence 33b refers to the action as being in progress at some particular time.
Some people have trouble accepting that English lacks a future tense. If you are in that group, there are several points to keep in mind. First, remember that tense is not the same as time. To say that English lacks a future tense does not mean that it has no way of referring to the future. It has many ways to do that. In English, the future is a time-reference, but not a tense.
At some point in your schooling, you were almost certainly introduced to verb tenses. We'll develop a precise understanding of tense in a moment, but for now, think back to what you were taught. What is tense? How many different tenses can you remember learning for English? Take a moment to jot down what you can remember before continuing.

Trolley Dances rehearsal at Fault Line Park
Even for a choreography veteran, it can be difficult to come up with fresh concepts and create innovative movements that connect with audiences. Nobody feels this pressure more than Monica Bill Barnes. In her seventh Trolley Dances, Barnes says she feels the pressure to create something new each and every time.
"I feel so supported in this environment, but I actually think that there's more pressure," says the one-time local who's now based in New York. "You don't ever want to repeat yourself, and for an audience to get to know your aesthetic does invite you to step up your game each time you come back."
In its 18th year, San Diego Dance Theater has evolved Trolley Dances into a respected piece of the San Diego cultural community. Since the late '90s, founder Jean Isaacs has commissioned acclaimed choreographers, like Barnes, to create site-specific dance pieces around San Diego trolley stops. Although each choreographer creates a distinct and separate piece, Trolley Dances continues to receive more attention because of the unique experience it provides to the audience.
"What's funny is that if you think about how often you go see a show, you don't feel a community with the people you're seeing it with," says Barnes. "I think with Trolley Dances, Jean really creates a community with each audience."
This year's tour through Barrio Logan on the MTS Blue Line will give choreographers Bill Shannon, Zaquia Mahler Salinas, Jean Isaacs, Jess Humphrey and Barnes a chance to work with surroundings untapped by any previous Trolley Dances.
Since Barnes' previous involvement in Trolley Dances in 2012, she has continued to develop her quirky style and immerse herself in new projects, including a collaboration with Ira Glass, called Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host. This humorous production, along with many others, has led Barnes to be dubbed the "Tina Fey of dance" by the The Washington Post. Although she has years of experience, she did not land in San Diego with a plan. For Barnes, it seemed logical to develop her choreography when she arrived at her Fault Line Park location.
"All of the ideas develop on-site. You can have the best idea, then you can put it to use and it can be terrible. So for the first couple days, there's a lot of trial and error. Also, for me, it's important to understand what the dancers are like and how to highlight their personalities," she says.
Though it may seem risky to arrive without a plan, Barnes is no stranger to taking risks and succeeding. As a philosophy student at UC San Diego, she planned on going to law school. However, last minute decisions and a gut feeling led Barnes to continue to pursue her passion for dance. Nevertheless, her time at UCSD did not go to waste, as it was there where she began to make connections between philosophy, choreography and humor.
"I think philosophy actually relates really well to choreography because it is essentially asking you to articulate really difficult ideas clearly, and I feel like choreography is asking you to articulate abstract ideas clearly so that an audience feels invited into the experience you're making and not alienated from it," Barnes says.
Although Barnes finds herself pushing her creativity for the upcoming Trolley Dances, her goals that she has upheld throughout her career remain the same.
"I think my hope with anything I make is that it's communicative and the audience feels invested by it," Barnes says. "Often times I use gesture and familiar situations so that the audience doesn't feel like they're seeing something entirely abstract, but rather that they're seeing something that can relate to an experience they've had. So, the hope is that the work is broad and you feel pulled into a common experience."

Learning The Secrets About Tips
Sell Your Car to a Junkyard That Buys Cars
When it comes to selling your junk car for cash, it is important to consider several important things like considering dealing with a good cash for cars program, free junk car removal service, and junk car sales services. It is important to deal with a trusted, reliable, and reputable junk car buyer who is willing to offer you the maximum value for your junk car. It can be confusing and time-consuming trying to get the best scrap car price for your vehicle, but there are things you can do in order to handle things right on your end. You can successfully sell your junk car to a salvage yard given the tips and tricks we will share with you.
Before considering calling a salvage yard company to dispose your car, it is important to first remove all of your personal belongings because your car is your second home and you might have stored a lot of things such as pictures, kids toys, and old phone with years of use. Before the tow truck arrives to pick up your car, you should have removed all of your personal belongings. Even if you won't need the items, it may still cause problems with the transaction because you need to understand that a junk car if not a trash area nor the salvage car is not expected to dispose your old stuff. Check your personal items above visors, under floor mats, bins, glove boxes, and anywhere else you might have stashed your important items. Never leave insurance cards on your car even if you don't need them anymore because they have too much personal information, and remove all disks if you have a CD player installed. It is important to return your license plates in order to cancel your insurance. A good auto junkyard will ask for the valid title of your junk car before purchase because this is the only way to transfer ownership of vehicle to the salvage yard. If you are not able to transfer ownership to your junkyard, there is a possibility of you incurring liabilities in the future because you technically still own the car.
If the price you are able to get for your old car does not reflect much more than its scrap value, then you have the option to remove the valuable components of your car so you can make extra cash. You can sell your expensive tires and you can get the resale value of your battery if it is almost new, while recyclers pay for the lead inside if it is old. If your car is still running before selling it to the junkyard, it is important to use up all of your gasoline in the tank before you have your car towed away. We can help you find a trusted, reliable, and reputable auto salvage yard today, feel free to visit our website or homepage now.

Biden and Obama memes: Jokes on Trump imagined
Just what are US President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden talking about?
People are speculating online about the private conversations between the pair as they prepare to hand over to President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence.
These internet memes have taken off since the US election on 8 November.
Most of them feature Biden plotting practical jokes on Trump, with Obama desperately trying to hold him back.
You might also like:
Awkward photos of Trump and Obama
Michelle 'ape in heels' outrage
Some play on the theme of a certain practical-joke laden, madcap comedy film from 1990.
Or just have Joe Biden being silly.
In one, Vice-President Biden imagines President Obama as Gotham's caped crusader.
A few reference President-elect Trump's policies, such as his plan to build a wall on the US-Mexico border.
Or his previous support for the "birther" campaign that claimed President Obama had not been born in the US.
Or the feeling that the Trump-Pence ticket will be somewhat more conservative than the Obama-Biden era.
Other people are looking to the future.
While some are striking a more emotional tone with their memes.

You know the warnings on some prescriptions that say: "Do not take this medication while operating heavy equipment."
I would like to have the following warning sticker for those of us trying to recover from a brain injury:
"HALT: If you are Hungry, Angry. Lonely or Tired!"
I admit that, because a brain injury survivor, I am normally angry, lonely or tired (except when I'm sleeping).
I have never worked so hard in my life, trying to get better …but, when I'm being realistic, I accept that it's a process, not a destination.
Yesterday, at visual therapy, I felt like such a failure.
I just couldn't get the exercises right.
Granted, I had probably pushed myself too hard that morning and the appointment was at 2 p.m. That's way too close to my self-imposed limitation of 4 p.m. for any activities outside my home.
My friends and family remind me that when I'm frustrated it is MY expectations of myself that are frustrating me.
I would never be so hard on anyone else, and especially not on a fellow brain injury survivor.
But in my mind, if I was able to do something once before, I should be able to check it off the recovery list.
I have lost count of how often doctors, therapist and my support group members have told me: In brain injury, consistency is elusive, at best, and that pushing myself is self-defeating.
Trying to do too much, which has always part of my ADD personality, is no longer an option for me.
Lighten up, kid!

The Fall edition of our newsletter, Xenia News, is now available online. Click here to read about what's been going in the life of Upper New York Camp and Retreat Ministries.
It's not all that uncommon for us to be asked: "what do you do here the rest of the year?" Some might get upset when asked this sort of question, but we hear this as a genuine invitation to share more about our ministry here at Sky Lake. (Which is also why we've started sharing a glimpse behind the scenes in this column each month.)
Sure, we have some rather unglamorous tasks that we do on a routine basis during the retreat season—like paying the bills, emptying garbage bins, clearing leaves and snow away from buildings, refilling paper towel dispensers, answering calls from telemarketers, blah, blah, blah…. But these pale in comparison to some of the "bigger things" that we get to do, like welcoming back friends we haven't seen in a year, lighting a fire in the fireplace in Founders' Lodge for guests to relax in front of, and working on bigger projects that have a bunch of little "moving parts."
During the autumn and winter we actually spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for…the next summer. One of the "moving parts" of this bigger project is setting up times for us to visit churches and organizations in the spring. We are always grateful for the churches who extend an invitation for us to come visit and we are equally grateful for those churches who respond affirmatively when we invite ourselves. Here's what we look for when considering a visit:
· The trend of the congregation's/group's support of camping and retreat ministries — in other words, does the church have a history of "sending" campers or do they express a strong desire to start doing so? (Guess what…we like to visit both!)
· Average worship attendance compared to the overall membership of the church — this is a more helpful number for us rather than thinking of a church as big, medium, or small
· Potential for recruiting campers — full disclosure, while we love chatting with potential donors (it does take a fair amount of money to keep a ministry going after all) our spring tour is geared more toward recruiting campers. So we try to schedule visits where we're apt to run into actual kids and youth! And to help us determine the potential of interacting with children and youth, we look at (1) the number of children and youth involved in Christian formation groups + (2) Sunday School attendance compared to worship attendance + (3) VBS attendance compared to Sunday School attendance. When considered together, we get a better idea of not only the life of a congregation but the community surrounding it.
One of our earliest cheerleaders, the Rev. Edgar Singer, once referred to Sky Lake as the additional Sunday School classroom for each congregation. He wasn't wrong. A local church is great at providing the "head knowledge", while camps are really great at being the "learning labs" where these theories can be tested, prodded, and experienced in real time. When head knowledge is reinforced by affirming experiences it becomes heart knowledge. And believe "heart knowledge" is what leads to the transformation of the world! (Can we get an AMEN?!)
To help us share our vision with others is the reason we like to do our visit tour each spring. No two visits are alike and we enjoy working with leaders at the local level to personalize our visit. We are pretty flexible and equally comfortable doing a presentation for kids and youth during Sunday School, delivering a quick speech during a Mission Moment, giving the children's message, bringing the goods to make s'mores for a covered-dish meal, or even leading an entire worship service. (We've done all this and more over the years.) Also, our unofficial mascot, Harvey the Hippo, usually tags along with us, so there's that… And if there's one thing Harvey has taught us over the years, it's to play well with others. So we like to include some non-United Methodist Churches on our Spring Tour every year!
If you're interested in setting up a visit or exploring the possibility of partnering with us a little closer, please don't hesitate to connect with our site director, Matt Williams. We hope to see you on our tour this spring!
We here at Sky Lake are grateful to be able to spend time with so many awesome people throughout the year. While our summer camp ministry brings a certain level of intensity to the life of our team, we're also kept on our toes extending radical Christian hospitality to retreat guests from the end of summer camp in August until June the following year. We provide hospitality support to a wide variety of church and non-profit groups any given week/weekend; in addition to these groups we also hold retreats and events for which we provide the programming.
One of those offerings is our Ladies of the Lake Retreat, which was held last month for the 9th consecutive year. When longtime friends of Sky Lake—Jean Grube and the Rev. Jan Clark—approached us years ago with the idea of a retreat for women that would combine elements of a spa experience with opportunities for spiritual growth, we were immediately sold on the idea. "While observing the autumn-kissed, lake waters from one of those boulders by the boathouse, I'm always reminded how thankful I am for these retreats. These times away at Sky Lake allow me to focus on the amazing gifts of the women gathered and our need for each other to build up the body of Christ" says Ladies of the Lake co-leader, Jean Grube.
"The friendships that are formed through worshiping together and the variety of activities offered each retreat is what keep women coming back," says Jenna Amberge, Assistant Director of Sky Lake. In 2012 we increased the opportunity for women to build those meaningful relationships by expanding Ladies of the Lake to include Rejuvenate each spring (by the way, online registration for Rejuvenate 2018 is now open!)
"I am grateful for the chance to offer rest and renewal for body and soul at the picturesque setting of Sky Lake. Women grow in their friendship with each other and with God. It is a place that helps us find our center!" the Rev. Jan Clark, co-leader of Ladies of the Lake.

Literacy Group Reaches Out to Military Families
By Toni Maltagliati
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24, 2007 - More than 12,000 children of servicemembers each year are getting a foundation for lifelong literacy from their doctors through an effort called "Reach Out and Read."
"Reach Out and Read presents a unique opportunity to support and strengthen military families with young children," said Carolyn Merrifield, a communications associate with Reach Out and Read. "While reading together provides important advantages for all families, military families who face the unique challenges of separation and deployment can reap special benefit from the comfort of this routine."
Reach Out and Read is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad.
The group is different from other national literacy programs in that it takes advantage of the trust parents have for pediatricians to plant the seed of reading. The group trains physicians and nurse practitioners to emphasize during preschool medical check-ups the importance of reading aloud to children. The benefits to tots can start as young as 6 months old, according to the group.
Every year, about 24,000 new, developmentally appropriate books are given to youngsters at seven military medical facilities to take home and read, according to a statement from the group. The Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Va.; Moncrief Army Community Hospital at Fort Jackson, S.C.; Air Force medical facilities at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash., Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, and Keesler Air Force Base, Miss.; and the 121st General Hospital at Yongson Army Garrison, South Korea, currently participate.
Medical facilities at eight additional military sites are slated to become Reach Out and Read participants, according to Brian Gallagher, the group's national expansion manager.
"They went through the process, and they've been told that their programs are on hold for now," Gallagher said. The Defense Department funding has been obligated, he said, so now it's a matter of waiting until the funds are allocated and disbursed.
Adding eight military medical facilities to the program could more than double the number of military families whose children will get a head start on learning to recognize letters and other language skills. Reading failure, according to the group, has been linked to many problems for children later on in life, from dropping out of school to substance abuse.
"In order or learn to read in school, children's brains to be 'prepped' by robust exposure to words and language, shaping the brain architecture that provides the foundation for later reading ability," said Merrifield.
About one-third of children in the United States start kindergarten without the language skills they need to learn how to read, according to the group. Reach Out and Read officials say they aim to remedy this, one book at a time.

Amulet (Book One: The Stonekeeper}
By Kazu Kibuishi
Graphix, an imprint of Scholastic
Ages 10 and up
On shelves now
Every story, whether it's being told orally, as a book, as a graphic novel, or in a kind of performance is allowed to reuse old tropes. Particularly when the story being told is appropriate for kids, there's a talent in figuring out how to use familiar images and objects in new and exciting ways. It's what distinguishes the good writing from the knock-offs. The storyline that involves a hero who finds a powerful object of some sort that could be good or could be bad is one pretty classic example. Everything from The Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter brings it up, and so when I saw that Amulet (Book One: Stonekeeper), a new graphic novel series by Kazu Kibuishi also worked the idea in, that was pretty cool. Sadly the book ultimately disappointed me in terms of its storytelling and original content. It's not a bad graphic novel by any means, but if you're looking for a title about kids on a quest, there are certainly others I would recommend instead.
Emily and Navin's life has taken a turn for the better, or worse, depending on whom you talk to. Emily, for example, is not too thrilled that their mom has moved them into a new old house in some town called Norlen. Their mom, however, is determined to make the best of it. Ever since their father died in a car crash the kids have found money exceedingly tight and it's time for a fresh start. That fresh start, however, is complicated when Emily finds a mysterious hidden amulet in her great-grandpa's library and a big octopus-looking thing in the basement kidnaps her mom. Wait . . . what? It seems that things in this house are not what they seem, and before they know it Emily and Navin discover that they have a quest on their hands. Somebody wants their amulet. Someone else wants them to harness its power for good. Now with the help of a troop of small robots, these kids are ready to do whatever it takes to bring their family together once again.
A feeling of familiarity is usually noticed more by adult reviewers than by kid readers, but there's no avoiding the sense of déjà vu in some scenes within this book. For example, Spiderwick fans will recognize the idea of kids moving into a creepy old mansion with their mother (a mansion that used to belong to an old male relative with odd otherworldly interests). Which is not to say that there aren't new ideas as well. I don't remember ever having seen a disgusting octopus-like creature that holds living prey in its belly in a book before. And a robot rabbit. . . it sounds familiar but not so much that I can identify the source. The plot itself is a small series of adventures, one by one, like different levels. The video game elements of such a tale do come naturally out of the storytelling, but they're such static, predictable moments that it's hard not to feel like the book is just an excuse for an Xbox game or upcoming action film.
I dunno, maybe I'm being too harsh on it. There are some pretty amusing moments, after all. For example, when Navin gets to fly a plane the view of the steering wheel is quite clearly Nintendo-inspired. That's probably going to be a joke kids get more often than adults (which I appreciate). I liked the repeated images of hand clasping and then consciously letting go. The art is fine, though I think I liked the book a lot more when I read it in full-color (as hand-painted by Kibuishi's wife Amy). Generally though this isn't the strongest comic you'll find on the market for kids today. Serviceable, but not extraordinary.

The Giant-Size Man-Sweater continues apace. Body is done, left button band complete, shawl collar shaped, now it's just a few more short rows & I'm on to the right button band (complete with evenly spaced buttonholes? guess we'll see about that). Definitely blocking this before seaming, as I am not terribly experienced with seaming knitted objects and back in my crochet days my approach to seaming was along the "well, it's supposed to look lumpy and handmade" lines and I think it might be best if the button band and collar show some sort of sensible relationship to the body.
One thing this project has taught me (besides the fact that I can indeed purl for a mile and a half and not actually die) is how far I've come as a knitter. There are so many mistakes in this pattern, no errata available at the SNB website, and more than a few other similar complaints to be found on Ravelry. (And thank…Idunno, pick a higher power…for Ravelry, because the few times I just wasn't confident enough to say "that's wrong!" and power on, I was able to easily get an answer.) I realized I'm at a point now – even only having made two sweaters that weren't anything like this one – where I can come upon a mistake, say "well, there's no way that's right," and figure out how to make it right in just a few minutes. With no throwing it down in frustration, ignoring it for 6 weeks, then picking another pattern to make instead. I'm growing.
But, seriously, someone needs to publish some errata for this pattern and fast.
Other projects are in roughly the same stages, but still on track to be done in the next few weeks (got a long weekend coming up and I plan to spend most of it reclined in various manners). I did just get a lovely package in the mail from Knitpicks, though. Enough Comfy Bulky to make the Muriwai Bath Mat and some CotLin for a little baby jean jacket. Also an EZ book and a Niddy Noddy. So I needneedNEED to finish this sweater so I can start all sorts of new awesome projects for Fall.

Before we go into explaining how you can lodge an application, it is important to understand what the term lodging an application really means. If you have never come across this term before in business, you may confuse it with the usual term that you are often used to. So, what does it mean to lodge an application?
Lodging an application is a professional process of making an application official. That means, announcing that you are fully ready or committed or have the desire to make your application instance public to those people whom you would like to apply for. By making your application official, you are actually trying the best you can to make things easy to understand and as clear as possible.
So, how do you make an application for employment and another type of applications official? Well, it should not be difficult at all. In fact, you can do that in two ways: manual submission or online submission.
Manual submission is the instance where you are required to fill out your application and then submit to the recipient by hand. This usually takes a lot of time, but then again it has its own share of benefits. First, it prepares you to meet with the recipient in question. By being psychologically prepared to meet with the person to whom your application will go to, you are able to tackle any one-on-one question that might arise in the process. At the end of the day, it becomes easy to start and interaction, which usually leads to the establishment of a long-term relationship.
Online submission is often the best approach. For many people, it is the best way to do things. It is considered as the most convenient way to do things. And most importantly, it is seen, treated, and hailed as the quickest means of communication. If you want to make your application official fast, then the best way to do that might be to submit your forms via the internet. Luckily, many companies today advocate for online submissions.
There are special bodies today that open application to their members. If you would like to become one, simply use a membership form to submit your application. Consider downloading this membership application template to save yourself time as well as money. The template is easy to edit, too. (12+ Membership Application Template)

The sample application form is for anyone who is willing to work as a volunteer in any company or organization where volunteers are accepted. If you are serious about being a volunteer, then this is the best template for you. (15+ Volunteer Application Template)
If you already have what it takes to grab an opportunity in an institution, then all you have to do is to write an application letter and submit it to the relevant authority. However, you don't just put down anything on the page, right? You have to be strategic. It means you have to do the best you possibly can to write the best application letter in the shortest time possible.
Everyone who is looking for work can use the work application template to get it. It is also known as the job application form or an employee application template. You can download the template for free.
Filling out an application form for a job is not rocket science. The thing many people forget is there is no one-size-fits-all formula for this. In fact, job applications are always different. And that means the approach to writing them is quite distinct as well. But how do you fill out the form without looking like a try-hard?
Because there are many job application templates mentioned in this article already, there is no real reason why you should spend a lot of time on your computer trying to get the design done. And most importantly, these files are always free to download. That means you get everything for free eventually.

Lawyer Barbara Asamoah declares
As countdown days get closer to most ever crucial Ghana's elections, it's rather pathetic to note that, culture of political insults and the use of impolite utterances by radio callers on political talk shows have become common practices amongst the nation's political activists especially, the opposition NPP activists across Europe and beyond.
Uncontrollable commotion sparked off between ruling NDC and opposition NPP over the weekend during political discussions "NDC Hour" on Sankofa Radio program in Stuttgart-Germany.
The special Guest was Lawyer Barbara Asamoah – (NDC deputy national youth organizer) who minced no words to state that, opposition NPP Flag bearer Nana Akuffo-Addo has no clear message to convince Ghanaians and that, he stands the chance of losing drastically come December 2012 general elections.
"Wherever Nana Addo stands, he makes noise about BIG VISION but has never been able to outline what he actually means. This is irresponsible and loose political talks. Nana Addo has nothing to offer!!" Lawyer Barbara declared.
"When we talk about Big Visions, we mean and exhibit good roads, hospitals with modernized equipments, eastern corridor roads are under construction to provide easy access to travelers to link the northern part of Ghana as well as Burkina Faso, Mali etc, we're yet to re-introduce rail transport from western region through Kumasi and tracked to Accra to reduce tensions on our roads. These are visionary projects and achievements"
"The former foreigner Minister and attorney general now opposition NPP "King Kong" Nana Akuffo Addo has never been able to spelled out in a clear and simple language what he intends to offer when per chance he's voted to power"
This message did not go well with opposition NPP activists and supporters across and instead resorted calling the radio station to inflict verbal attacks and direct condemnation to Lawyer Barbara as well as the program organizers – NDC Germany communication team led by Karim Abilla.
"The NDC followers are all corrupt. The government uses the tax payer's money to recruit them (drop-outs) all over to propagate lies. They are on special payroll lists. Some are contracted serial callers to defend NDC" the NPP activists alleged.
Asked to comment on unemployment, Madam Asamoah swiftly reinstated "40% of Ghanaian populations are unskilled and therefore it's the duty of the NDC government to put in place vocational intuitions to train the youth. More than 30,000 people have successfully completed the training and have been deployed to various sectors." "Rome was not built in a day. A journey of 1000 miles starts from somewhere. Even United States is not a paradise, likewise Germany. There are economic crisis all over the world, however God being on our side Ghana has been able to sustain"
Other important bordering questions discussed over the radio program included, one –time health insurance premium; position on (SHS) senior High Schools; Supreme Court verdict to remove taxes on petroleum products; as well as the nation's crude oil productions. On the position of crude oil production, Auntie Barbara briefed the listeners that, Ghana's oil field was initially explored by NDC 1 (GNPC-Tsikata &Co.) but simultaneously NPP erstwhile government discovered it in commercial quantities but actually they never implemented anything to enhance its production. It was therefore the NDC (2) under President Atta Mills who did the infrastructures to effect full operation. The Ghana National Gas Company has been set up to build and operate infrastructure required for processing natural Gas in the country.
To end her message, Lawyer Barbara Asamoah urged all Ghanaians home and abroad to critically judge and evaluate the good works of Prof. John Evans Atta –Mills and vote massively for NDC to retain power come December 2012 general elections.
