Webrat: Rails Acceptance Testing Evolved – Bryan Helmkamp
Bryan Helmkamp ( more about him ). He works at WePlay. He is the co-author of "The RSpec Book"
- bit.ly/wbrt-ggrc
- Twitter: @brynary #webrat
- brynary.com
Audience Poll: How many people know and use webrat (50%+ using, 25% using)
Webrat is an awesome tool everyone should use, but it doesn't run on the iPhone, not written in Scala, and there is no Pr0n.
Beer Disclaimer
If you have questions that aren't answered, find him for a beer after the conference
Writing a rails integration test how we test websites, traditional methods are brittle and tedious.
Webrat code is more readable than traditionally written integration tests
It behaves like a browser:
- "visit" method – the equivalent typing in a URL to the browser.
- "click_link" – like clicking a link (duh)
- "fill_in" – fills in a field
- "assert_contain" – perform assertions
Uses nokogiri to parse the response HTML and run assertions on it.
How to use it?
config.gem "webrat", :version => ">= 0.4.4"
Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :rails
Webrat's Core API
- visit
- click_link
- fill_in
- check and uncheck
- choose
- select
- attach_file
- click_button
Webrat works with RSpec, Shoulda and Cucumber
Webrat and cucumber do not have to be used together. You can use Webrat with whatever testing framework you want to use.
Webrat also works with Rails, Sinatra and Merb.
Webrat can do input matching to labels. Webrat encourages you to put good labels on your form fields.
Webrat verifies HTTP Status codes for you behind the scenes.
- Automatically makes sure you don't get 500 HTTP server errors.
- Also ensures that fields exist
Verify HTML content
response.should contain("Hello, world!")
response.should have_selector("li", :class => "new", :count => 2)
response.should_not have_xpath(".//meta[@name='robots']")
response.should have_selector("#album li:nth-child(3)") do |li|
li.should have_selector("img", :src => photo_path(@photo))
li.should contain("Vacation Photo")
When things go wrong Webrat uses "'save_and_open_page"' and writes out the current response body and brings up the page.
Webrat Adapters
- Rails
- Merb
- Sinatra
- Selenium
- Mechanize (can use to scrape other websites i.e. google)
Evil plot is to write adapters so he can test everything at once.
# selenium doesn't support transactional fixtures
class ActiveSupport::TestCase
self.use_transactional_fixtures = false
setup do |session|
session_host "localhost:3000"
Webrat.configure do |config|
config.mode = :selenium
Webrat talks to the selenium client gem to talk to the Selenium RC server which then drives a browser (IE, safari, and/or firefox).
Sometimes you'll need to an action differently when a browser is actually present. These commands let you write code for a specific context:
webrat.simulate – traditional webrat simulation mode
webrate.automate – drive a real browser
# is not run in normal webrat mode
webrat.automate do
# is not run in selenium webrat mode
webrat.simulate do
The 'selenium' object is exposed from the selenium client gem. You can use it directly within your tests.
Automating a real web browser is SLOW
One more thing…
rack::test – gives you a quick way to generate requests to any rack enabled application
Makes it easy to test complicated routing of requests through rack apps. For example, a rails metal that routes to a sinatra app.
Rack::Test API
post, put, delete head
- Q: How do you deal with links with the same names?
A: Webrat has a method called "within" which allows you to scope your selectors to be inside an HTML tag.
Q: Does it have support for checking HTML validity?
A: No, that is outside of the scope of core webrat. However, we have talked about the ability to capture
Q: Where does the output of save_and_open_page go?
A: Into Rails' tmp directory
Q: Selenium client has some interesting screen grab is that being exposed?
- A: Webrat has that in Selenium mode now.

After last week's busy National Insect Week and its launch in the Wildlife Garden on 23 June, we turned our focus onto some important insect predators... bats! We're celebrating the amazing world of these flying mammals at our annual Bat Festival this coming weekend; an event hosted in partnership with the Bat Conservation Trust and with the London Bat Group.
There are over 1,200 species of bat in the world; some are vegetarian and eat fruit and nectar, some eat fish or small mammals including frogs but, like all 18 species known to live in the UK, the majority feed on insects.
These UK bats mainly catch their insect prey in flight. Some such as the Daubenton's bat will also take insects from the surface of large ponds and rivers, and a few including the brown long-eared bat will sometimes glean or pick their insect food from leaves and bark, or even from the ground.

Bats seen in the Wildlife Garden at dusk are the common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) and soprano pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus). It's a special moment to watch them feeding over the ponds and meadow areas where they catch small moths, caddisflies, midges and other small flies. There are also probably brown long-eared bats in the trees, but their ultrasonic calls are usually too quiet to hear on a bat detector.

Many of these insects start off life in ponds including caddisflies and non-biting midges, and their larvae are often found during pond dipping sessions.

While the Garden is the Museum's only permanent living exhibition with its collection of native plants and associated wildlife - including insects and bats -the Museum is, of course, renowned for its huge collection of specimens from around the world. Again, this includes bats. Mammals Curator, Louise Tomsett tells us more about these fascinating animals from a curator's perspective:
"There are over 30,000 bat specimens in the collection. Most of our collections are from mid-late 1800s and first half of 1900s.
We have an estimated 95% coverage of species but bat taxonomy is in constant flux so there may be undiscovered species present in the collection. It has happened several times in the collections.
Dry bat skins in the reference collection
© Louise Tomsett
The collection is rich in species variety, geographic range and historical specimens. The collection is particularly important for conservation. Researchers access the specimens to gather information to create an identification guide that is then used in biodiversity surveys.
The geographical locality information associated with the specimens also gives insight to where populations are or where they used to be and can be used to assess declines or changes in species range. Presence of a bat in a particular area also indicates the type of environment and other associated species such as insect prey.
Type specimens in the reference collection. Types are the representative specimens that display characteristics that define that particular species. Descriptions of species are based upon these individuals and they are used as comparative examples when researchers are attempting to designate a new species.
© Louise Tomsett
The collections are sampled for a wide range of genetic research. These samples can provide information on population genetics and may be used in association with living samples to assess inbreeding in populations and support conservation genetics.
The reference collections are kept behind closed doors in special storage areas, with controlled access. This is to prevent fading from light exposure and as protection from dirt, unnecessary handling and from pests that would destroy them.
The job of a curator is to provide access for multidisciplinary research but also to balance this use with preservation for the future as the collections are irreplaceable. Each specimen is a unique example of an animal from a specific time and place. They need to be preserved for future generations.
History has shown us that the collections hold a wealth of undiscovered information and new research techniques to unlock this are being developed all the time. We cannot always predict what research or type of information a specimen will be used for."
To see some of these unique specimens from around the world and to discover more about bats at home - their diet, lifestyle and habitats - join us in our Bat Festival this weekend, 5 and 6 July from 12.00 to 17.00 each day.

Justice Department Settles Claims of Discrimination Against Philadelphia Employment Agency
The Justice Department announced today that it reached a settlement agreement with Best Packing Services Employment Agency Inc., which is based in Philadelphia, resolving allegations that the company discriminated under the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), when it impermissibly delayed the start date of two refugees after requiring them to provide specific Form I-9 documentation.
In two charges filed with the department, the refugees alleged that they were not allowed to begin employment until they produced unexpired, Department of Homeland Security-issued employment authorization documents, despite the fact that they initially presented sufficient documentation for employment eligibility verification purposes. The charging parties had presented unexpired state identification cards and unrestricted Social Security cards at the time of hire. Both were permanently work-authorized but lost several weeks' worth of wages as a result of Best Packing's practices. The department's investigation revealed that Best Packing did not demand specific Form I-9 documentation from U.S. citizens, but allowed them to provide state identification cards and unrestricted Social Security cards. The anti-discrimination provision prohibits treating employees differently in the employment eligibility verification and reverification processes based on citizenship status or national origin.
As part of the settlement, Best Packing will undertake immediate corrective action to address and rectify its employment eligibility verification policies and practices. As part of its corrective action, Best Packing will provide full back pay to both victims. Under the settlement agreement, the company agrees to pay $4,379 in back pay, to conform all of its actions to ensure compliance with the INA's anti-discrimination provision and to train its human resources personnel about the company's responsibility to avoid discrimination in the employment eligibility verification process.
"The Civil Rights Division is pleased that Best Packing has prioritized compliance with the Immigration and Nationality Act," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "We encourage all employers to evaluate their policies and practices to ensure compliance with the INA's anti-discrimination provision."
The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices is responsible for enforcing the anti-discrimination provision of the INA, which protects work-authorized individuals from employment discrimination on the basis of citizenship status or national origin discrimination, including discrimination in hiring and the employment eligibility verification process.
For more information about protections against employment discrimination under the immigration laws, call the OSC's worker hotline at 1-800-255-7688 (1-800-237-2525, TDD for hearing impaired), call the OSC's employer hotline at 1-800-255-8155 (1-800-362-2735, TDD for hearing impaired), sign up for a no-cost webinar at www.justice.gov/crt/osc/webinars.php, email firstname.lastname@example.com visit the website at www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc.

Unlimited Music and skips on pandora
Alright if you are anything like me you really like to listen to music but I myself can not afford to buy enough songs to satisfy my diverse listening choices. Because of that I use Pandora… A lot….
So much in fact that my radio in my truck automatically connects to my phone and starts playing pandora by default and I dont even know what small business radio stations are around me in my area . As a result I run out of time on pandora quickly and I cant stand not being able to skip songs when one comes on I do not like. This post is to help those like me learn how to bypass the system and get no ads and skip as many times as your heart desires on multiple platforms including Windows computers, Android devices, and iPhones.
THIS POST IS IN NO WAY CONDONING THEFT OF MUSIC OR PIRACY. IT IS SIMPLY EDUCATIONAL TO SHOW HOW IT CAN BE DONE Finding The Best Forklift Train the Trainer Certification. WHAT YOU DO WITH THE KNOWLEDGE IS PURELY UP TO YOU AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS
First I am going to start off with the simplest and easiest one to do.
This one was extremely simple
Goto THIS SITE and download the Saver2 bundle
Once installed there will be a couple icons listed. To listen to pandora just click the Listen Only icon, log in, and enjoy. Simple as that. Your regular media controls will work so you can skip songs and pause while in the middle of what ever game you so desire to play!
This one is still fairly simple I will outline the steps below (this is for both phones and tablets)
- Uninstall current pandora client!
- Enable 3rd party installs by going to settings (on my device its under settings>more>security>Unknown sources
- Use your phone to browse to http://bit.ly/1mnk4aC
- Install and enjoy!
You use this client just like the one off the app store but it does not stop you from rapidly clicking the skip button to your hearts content! (although I would recommend some sort of self control)
This one requires you to jailbreak your iDevice. Don't know how to do this? CLICK HERE be sure to read up on the risks and the proper way to perform the jailbreak and above all DO NOT PAY A WEBSITE TO DO IT!
- Jailbreak device
- Open cydia
- Click the "Manage" tab
- Select Sources and click edit on the top right
- Select add
- type in cydia.xsellize.com/ and press add source
- Follow directions on the screen to add
- Scroll down and click Xsellize
- Scroll down more and find "Pandora Skip hack"
- Enjoy!
Enjoy the tunes!

Good news for you playstation lovers out there!
Some hackers out there have cracked open the level 0 bootloader security on the playstation 3. While this does not mean much for those who are using a stock ps3 it means quite a bit for the homebrew hacked firmware users out there. It as of right now means that the cat and mouse game is over for the currently modded systems because there is no firmware hole to patch. New released firmware versions can just be customized and signed for the modded systems and there is nothing that sony can do it. Now if only they could do that to the iPhone then I would be super happy!

Downtime / updates explained
ok so the site was down for a day or so and I just wanted to give a quick explanation as to why this happened
The data center we use was doing a migration into a bigger and better facility and sent me an email about the job a couple weeks ago. However I forgot to update the nameservers and ip's with the new ones so when the migration occurred the domains didn't know where to go.
Its all fixed now and the site has also been updated to fix any security flaws.
There may be some new features in the near future for TMS as well 😉

Root droix x2 / milestone x2 running 2.3.6
I have an x2 that I wanted to root because I am a control hog and want all the abilities my phone has to offer. Therefor I went searching for a method that worked and after working google half to death I found it courtesy of XDA
Here is a quote of the post (source post at the bottom)
This is the process I used it is slightly different than Dark's and the original link. The standard warning applies here, NEITHER MYSELF NOR ANYONE ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE DOING THIS!
- You MUST have the ADB drivers for your phone installed which are obtained as part of the Android SDK.
- You MUST have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
- You MUST have Superuser installed, which can be found on the Market.
- Download the following file (adb-fastboot.zip): LINK
- Download this file as well (root.zip): LINK
- Extract these zip files to a location that is easy to get to, the original instructions suggested making a Root folder in C:\, however it is really up to you. Just make sure all the files are extracted to the same folder.
- Get your phone into Fastboot mode, to do this:
- Shut the phone off.
- Hold down the Volume Down Button while pressing the Power Button.
- After the phone turns on you should see Fastboot at the top of the screen.
- Press the Volume Up Button to enter Fastboot mode. Your computer may need to install drivers if this is the first time you entered Fastboot mode, so let this happen BEFORE proceeding.
- Start a command prompt on your computer.
- Type the following commands:
- cd \<DIRECTORY> where <DIRECTORY> is the folder you created. If you created the Root folder in C:\ it would be cd \root.
- fastboot flash preinstall root.img
- fastboot reboot
- Wait for the phone to reboot, once it does so execute the following commands (in the command prompt you should still have open):
- adb shell
- /preinstall/su
- On your phone you should see a prompt to Allow or Deny Superuser access, allow this. Then execute the following commands (in the command prompt you should still have open)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
- cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
- chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
As long as you follow those directions EXACTLY then you to can have all the rooted goodness your phone has to offer

Project Midnight (PT:8)
Part 8 of my ford probe project!
Got the interior put back in!
Then came the fun stuff… Time to install the sound!
I went with some pioneer 6.5's that I had laying around up front and then I had a set of pioneer 6×9's in boxes that I put in the trunk so when I pop the trunk I can set them up and have a nice tailgate system!
I paired those with a pioneer cd player I had from my old car and a set of 12″ Powerbass subs and an 800 watt mono powerbass amp. I can shake the hell out of this car or turn it down and have just the right amount of bass

Project Midnight (PT:7)
Pulled the interior out of both cars tonight…
Here is the 95 stripped…
As you can see the previous owners did not take to much care in the interior of the carNo comments

Project Midnight (PT:6)
Got the dash back in
And got the bumper back on so I can drive it again!
No comments
Feb 23
Project Midnight (PT:5)
Got the doors and fenders on (hood just sitting in place)
Right before I put the passenger side fender on
What my Shiftboot looked like prior to my fiance hand stitching a new one
Dash out!
Got the wires run for my power locks and windows because the car did not originally have them
I had to splice in all 20 wires into new door plugs so that it would work properly
Shot of the 9 wires routed up next to the firewall
All the wires sitting on the drivers side waiting to be patched into the ignition and 12v constant… Gotta install the power door lock relay also -.-
Ripped the Gray() Dash out and now its ready for me to put the black (with red stripe) dash from a 93 into it.. Gotta sell the airbag to make up some of the funds I have wasted
Tomorrow I try and finish up the wires and put the dash back together!No comments

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Friday night bombed and destroyed the Hamas government headquarters in Gaza City just hours after Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil visited the facility in solidarity with the Gaza terrorist regime.
The destruction of the Hamas government building was seen as sending a message to both Hamas and Egypt that Israel is not afraid to escalate the fight if the threat of rocket attacks on southern Israel does not cease.
Meanwhile, rocket attacks on southern Israel did continue throughout the night and into Saturday morning. Four soldiers were wounded in one rocket strike, and countless civilians were treated for shock.
Israeli military officials said the conflict is likely to last several more weeks. On Friday, the government approved the mobilization of 75,000 reserve troops in preparation for a possible ground invasion of Gaza.

In 18th century America it was not uncommon for children to be bound into an apprenticeship. For many parents, apprenticeship offered an opportunity for a child to learn a craft outside their own. Probably the most famous apprentice was Benjamin Franklin, who used the skills he had learned at a printer's to become one of the most famous and wealthy men in America. In this indenture, Michael Gilson of the part of Northfield, Massachusetts, that would become Westmoreland, New Hampshire, bound his son Zechariah (Zachariah) over to John Belding of Hatfield, Massachusetts. Zechariah was to learn husbandry, or the care of horses and other large farm animals. But at the age of nineteen, at the start of the French and Indian War in 1755, he became a soldier. He was at Ft. William Henry when it was forced to surrender to the French and their Indian allies in August, 1757. Although the French had guaranteed their safety and allowed the British to leave the fort with their arms and possessions, the Indians refused to recognize that agreement and in a famous ambush killed and captured most of the British. This episode was most famously told in James Fenimore Cooper's "Last of the Mohicans." Gilson was taken to Canada as a captive. He returned to Westmoreland after his release and later settled in Westminster, Vermont.

'Healing Through Art' program kicks off Feb. 2 at the Presbyterian Church.
Everybody goes through challenges in life and sometimes it's hard to express in words how we feel. Sometimes we have to use other methods to heal. Starting in February, there will be a weekly "healing through art" program at First Presbyterian Church in Crookston. It will run on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon on Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23 as well as the same dates in March.
Each session is designed to assist children and adults in expressing themselves in healthy ways, to be creative problem-solvers when faced with challenges in their lives and to view themselves in positive and uplifting ways. It will give the chance to have fun, be creative and inspirational. No artistic abilities are necessary. Trey Everett, who is coordinating the event, says, "It's meant to be a fun time to get away. It's geared to be creative."
Registration for adults will cost $20 for all eight sessions, and children in 4th grade and up that are accompanied by a parent are free. To register, call Trey at 281-4853 or email him at email@example.com. if you happen to miss a session, Everett says not to worry about it. "It's not something if you miss one time, you won't be able to participate in any others. Each one is a little different. People can pick and choose."
For more information, visit micahprays.org.
This activity is made possible in part by a grant provided by the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council through funding from the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the State's general fund.

Pets, Pets, Pets
In a booming Sinatra voice: "Start spreading the news." Jin Jin won! Let me repeat. Jin Jin won the New Yorkie Runway Show last Friday night.
This fabulous Afghan Hound featured in "Pets" on 1/18 was selected as the first ever winner in this posh NYC event to benefit Angel On A Leash, Westminster Kennel Club's therapy dog program. Thank you to everyone who voted for our beautiful girl! Jin Jin is the quintessential triple-talented therapy dog who visits with homebound elderly, rehabilitation patients as well as struggling young readers.
Jin Jin is a rescue besides being an accomplished therapy dog. The Afghan Hound world is close knit. Jin Jin belongs to my friend Annette Smith in Toms River who also has my Edgar Afghan Poe's sister, Rebecca. Edgar and Rebecca are part of a seizure of 67 Afghans from a New Mexico hoarder. Annette and her husband Rick recently fostered another Afghan surrendered to me. This sweet male was bedazzled by his lovely foster sister, but moved onto his forever home in Pennsylvania before Jin Jin became a runway model. He has no idea how intense a campaign we waged to gather votes for the object of his admiration.
The New Yorkie Runway competition was fierce. After 100+ dogs auditioned in January, the judges selected 10 finalists. Several were semi-professional, appearing in plays or trained dog acts. During the audition, Jin Jin pranced in her custom fitted pink dress while Annette displayed a photo of Jin Jin in her NASCAR costume which she had worn in a local fashion show to raise funds for Canine Caregivers, the NJ organization that arranges her visits. Jin Jin didn't have a show biz background.
Next, three weeks of online voting ensued. At first Jin Jin had a large lead but then the field narrowed to four contenders with percentages staying close while ranking changed daily. The winner would be determined by votes and judges scores, a bit like Dancing with the Stars. One handsome Boxer finalist named Mattingly was gaining Yankee momentum. We knew we had to reach out to get more votes, but we weren't techno-whizzes. Each person could only vote once per computer.
After writing the "Pets" column, I contacted all the Afghan Hound forums and Facebook groups, every long lost relative and each canine connection including clubs and rescues. Afghan Rescue volunteers were blanketing spots like Philadelphia, Boston and the Stony Brook University Feral Cat Network. Even the West Virginia shelter transport network put out a blast for Jin Jin. She got votes from all over the US, Europe and even one from Bahrain. Because Jin Jin worked with elementary age readers, two of my former principals sent the word out to their faculty and students.
I created a "Vote for Jin Jin" Facebook page but didn't know how to promote it. I tried to get her story on NASCAR sites because we knew that was a ballot goldmine but my posts never "stuck" there. We sang Jin Jin's praises everywhere we went. Yes, even at the Westminster Kennel Club press conference before the Super Bowl.
Campaign headquarters- "Jin Jin Jersey"- had the support of Canine Caregivers, her agility school, animal hospitals and local dog-related businesses. We contacted the Toms River newspapers. Annette made flyers with tear-off strips. Then Annette had an ingenious publicity plan for the last week of voting.
Annette decided to put Jin Jin in her audition dress and stand outside the Today Show with a sign. Only problem is that Rockefeller Plaza is private property and no dogs are allowed there. As she was leaving, a policeman approached suggesting that she go to Good Morning America. No one would chase Jin Jin there. The GMA producer came out to explain that signs couldn't be that specific. He handed her a piece of oaktag and suggested she write: "Jin Jin Loves Sam."
Moments later Sam Champion took down the rope. He pet Jin Jin and spoke to Annette during his weather forecast. Annette mentioned that Jin Jin was in a benefit for Angel On A Leash. Many folks told us that they saw Jin Jin on TV. Later on Sam Champion Tweeted about Jin Jin and entered her visit for Angel on his Facebook page. Jin Jin got over 250 "likes." America had spoken.
The winner would be announced at the Feb. 10 fashion show. The incredible event held at the New Yorker Hotel is the brainchild of pet fashion designer Elly McGuire who emceed with David Frei, the voice of Westminster and founder of Angel On A Leash. Meteorologist Ron Trotta and Schmitty the Weather Dog hosted. The Big Apple theme was ubiquitous. A checkered taxicab covered in cupcakes parked at the side of the runway. NYC opera tenor Frank Basile sang the national anthem. Miss USA escorted the first pup. The rest of the human models were from the entertainment field, corporate sponsors or Angel On A Leash. A Metrocard quilted vest bedecked a Poodle; a Central Park Conservancy bodysuit adorned a Golden Retriever; while a T-shirt announced a Maltese was "Co-op Board Approved." As a grand finale, Publishers Clearing House, balloons and all, presented Angel On A Leash with a "big check" for $10,000.
Only one dog got to strut the catwalk twice. And that would be our glorious Afghan, Jin Jin. She took a victory jaunt in her satin audition dress, and then later in a daisy ensemble that New Yorkie Fashions created just for her. Saturday morning she appeared on Channel 4 as part of a NY Fashion Week recap. Seems Jin Jin turned up on the Today Show after all.
For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631-643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: It is raining Yorkies at the shelter. Three, actually one is a Silky, came in last week, and the previous week I took another to Last Hope. The Silky Terrier #12-96 pictured here was found in south Amityville. The Good Samaritan who found him gave him a bath before turning him into the shelter. Recognize this cutie? Meanwhile "Tobey" is a pup, less than a year old. He looks like a leggy Shiba Inu. He is a sweet boy but needs a home without cats.
Male: Yorkie #12-94; black Lab pup #12-84 found at Belmont Lake; Samoyed; "Oscar" #12-83-Shihtzu.
Female: "Delilah"- singing American Bulldog (hear her on Friends of Babylon Animal Shelter Facebook page); "Hope"-Shepherd mix.

But my very favorite thing about Valentine's Day isn't the pink or the love or the sappy Hallmark cards (which are actually my least favorite part). No. My favorite thing is that Valentine's is a holiday where chocolate is not just encouraged, it's expected. Chocolate. And lots of it. Which is definitely something I can get behind.
Truth: I ate almost half the bag of M&Ms before making these cookies.
Truth: Almost a quarter of the bag was gone within 20 minutes of buying them at Target.
Truth: I almost didn't share these cookies.
This is my very favorite chocolate cookie recipe. I've been making it for years from my Martha Stewart's Cookies cookbook. They're a bit crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and oh-so-perfectly chocolatey. And each and every time I make them, I have a hard time not eating the entire batch myself. (Are we noticing a lack of self-control theme here?) These cookies had my coworkers asking what sort of black magic I use because they can't possibly be that easy and still be that good. But they are. Easy. And good. And perfect for the class party. Or your Valentine. Or just for yourself. Share. Don't share. It's completely up to you.
Looking for more Valentine's ideas? No fear! I've got you covered.
Chocolate M&M Cookies
Adpated from Martha Stewart's Cookies
Makes about 1 ½ dozen
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ to 1 cup M&Ms
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone liner; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture until just combined. Fold in M&Ms by hand.
4. Place about ¼ cup of sugar into a small bowl. With a heaping tablespoon or a 1-inch cookie scoop, shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar to coat and transfer to prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating pans halfway through until the tops look crackled and the edges are set, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

On the occasion of the latest Barrett-Jackson cashout, collector car insurance firm Hagerty serves us a top-10 list of prospective collector cars for the next generation. Not long ago, we argued that, 30 years from now, there'd be no cars of this era fetching the same numbers as a mint Hemi Cuda these days ($2 million). Or, even scarier, that that aging Gen Xers would be paying six figures for a four-door Hyundai Excel with clove-cigarette burns on the seats and original Dinosaur Jr. stickers on the rear bumper (full disclosure: uh, never mind). But in the past several years, a few cars have popped up that may become bona fide auction queens. That brings us to the question of the day. Which late-model cars would you stick in a garage somewhere until Barrett-Jackson 2037? And while we're at it, chime in — poll wise — on Hagerty's list.

I don't know who she is. She's clearly a Cubs fan. But besides that, she apparently has somehow become the internet's favorite depiction of the Cubs' fan base and their struggles over the past 100 years.
She's everywhere. Any time a fan of the Brewers or Cardinals or insert team name here decides to make fun of the Cubs or their fan base, 9 times out of 10 you will see this picture attached. Are there no other recorded images of Cubs fans crying? Not one? Why is it that this girl has become the third most present Cubs fan on-line next to Bill Murray and Steve Bartman? Did she ever attend a game where she had a good time? She must've attended a game where the Cubs won, right? Does anyone know who this girl is? And if so, do you have any proof of her enjoying herself as a Cubs fan ever so that maybe these people who have been using her picture as a crutch all these years can finally stop and come up with a new way of depicting the misery Cubs fans have experienced? I mean, it hasn't been all bad…surely somewhere there are people who have pictures of themselves enjoying a Cubs victory. I urge all Cubs fans who read this to post your example of this or a link to it. Maybe then baseball fans who don't root for the Cubs can start to realize its all its cracked up to be and that they are missing out on much more than just goat curses and black cats.
I also urge you to post a picture or a link to you crying at a Cubs game or because of a Cubs loss. There are so many baseball writers focusing on the 100 years the Cubs have gone without a championship, surely they don't all want to use the same picture. Let's help these guys out. At least if they are going to focus on the negatives, we can mix it up a bit and prevent ourselves from having to view this one image every time, this one moment in time and this one Cubs fan among millions of others suffering in every single article that is on-line aiming to describe the sad existence that is being a Cubs fan (yes, that was sarcasm you sensed there).
Sure, 100 years is a long time and there is plenty to write about in what's become a history leading people to think of the Cubs everytime they hear the phrase "Wait until next year". But come on…one of you professional baseball writers, write an article about why its so great to be a Cubs fan. Break the mold. And if you HAVE to please your editor and write another story about Cubs fan misery, a century in the making…AT LEAST include a different picture/fan in doing so.
Unless of course, this particular girl reads this and actually enjoys being the international symbol for Cubs fan misery. Then by all mean, keep it up. It has been 100 years after all where hopes and dreams of a Cubs championship have been wiped away in one way or another…it's the least you could do in not taking this away from her too.
Looking forward to seeing the submissions. You can email them to me at email@example.com and whatever photos I receive I will post in an album here on Prose and Ivy. And if any current Cub happens to read this, please refer back to the title and let's end the curse, shock the world and win it all THIS year…if for no one else, well…you know. Go Cubs Go!


text: Since an infiniband fabric needs a subnet mananger, should the master node have an IB HCA and be connected to the IB network in order to run the subnet manager? My logic behind this is that the master node will be full enterprise-level hardware (redundant every thing), and should never go down or be rebooted during normal use. I expect the nodes to go down more frequently (not fully redundant hardware, higher operating loads, etc.). Exactly what functions does the subnet manager perform, and what happens if it disappears from the IB fabric? I've been doing research into IB all day yesterday, and I'm continuing today, so please no RTFM answers. -- Prentice

Kip Moore, 'Up All Night' – Album Review
It's a little early to call any album the best anything of 2012, but it's no stretch to say Kip Moore's debut is the best by a new country artist this year, so far. 'Up All Night' introduces the gypsy from south Georgia as an inspiring storyteller, a talented lyricist and a gritty, well-traveled vocalist.
The heart of 'Up All Night' comes after the sexy single 'Somethin' 'Bout a Truck.' It's cuts four through eight that prove Moore to be something of a country music Bruce Springsteen. He doesn't take on social issues like the Boss does, but he waxes nostalgia like the New Jersey rocker used to.
Moore recorded songs like 'Everything But You' without a whisper of newcomer hesitation. He sings every lyric like he were reading from the Bible. There's great urgency in songs like this, as well as the understated and romantic 'Crazy One More Time.'
"Hey I / Can't see you as nothing but mine / Girl tonight / Let's go crazy one more time," he begs a lover from years ago. Moore wrote all 11 songs, but none feel so personal that they're difficult to fall into. The powerful emotions crafted by masterful production from start to finish clear a path for lyrics that can build you up or strip your confidence naked.
'Where You Are Tonight' is a dip before the album's hallmark track, 'Hey Pretty Girl.' Moore tells a story a movie would take 120 minutes to finish. We know where it's headed before the last verse — the whine of a steel guitar is a wonderful forecaster — but of course one can't turn off a good sad story.
In the context of such heavy, emotional material, 'Beer Money' seems somewhat frivolous, but it — along with the quasi-autobiographical 'Reckless' — should make great live moments. Moore's songs often stray from the standard Nashville structure, but for the most part he's better for it. They work as cohesive adventures instead of singalongs, with a dollop of narrative in between choruses.
Like Eric Church before him, this singer may struggle to find consistent mainstream success, but it's not because of a lack of high-quality material.

I was fortunate to be able to hike to the top of Diamond Head Crater on my recent trip to Honolulu, Hawaii. I woke up at 5 am to get ready for the hike. This was rather easy as my body time was still on Eastern Standard Time which was five hours off from Hawaii! I had signed up for a group tour and the guide picked me (and several others) up at the hotel at 6am in the morning.
We arrived at the crater shortly before sunrise as the crater is just off of Waikiiki Beach where the hotel was located. Once there, we began a short but strenuous climb to the top that took less than an hour. The trail was slick and steep at points and I noticed the tour guide eye several of the overweight and obviously out-of-shape tour members nervously at a few points of the hike.
Diamond Head Crater has a long history. Wikipedia notes, "Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu and known to Hawaiians as Lē'ahi. Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals embedded in the rock for diamonds. It is located on the coast east of Waikīkī, Honolulu...Diamond Head, like the rest of the Honolulu Volcanics, is much younger than the main mass of the Ko'olau Mountain Range. While the Ko'olau Range is about 2.6 million years old, Diamond Head is estimated to be about 200,000 years old and extinct for 150,000 years. The eruption that built up Diamond Head was probably very brief, lasting no more than a few days. It was probably explosive, since when the cone was originally formed, the sea level is thought to have been higher and the vent burst erupted over a coral reef. Another factor probably contributing to the eruption's explosive nature was that rising magma would have come into contact with the water table. The eruption's relatively brief length is thought to explain why the cone today is so symmetrical."
(Walking into the side of the crater.)
After the Hawaiian Revolution of 1893, Hawaiians loyal to the Hawaiian Monarchy fought several battles in the Diamond Head Crater against Republic of Hawaii soldiers in an attempted counter-revolution. Despite covert assistance from the United States and President Grover Cleveland, the attempt failed.
Destructive cattle grazing on the volcano killed many indigenous plants. After Hawaii became American in 1898, this environmental destruction was stopped. Feeser (2006) noted that by 1905, only a single Hawaiian was tending cows in the crater. The establishment of the Fort Rutgers Military Installation restricted use of the area and allowed the local ecosystem to recover.
The military base is now gone. The area is open to the public. However, the past military presence is still obvious. The holes into the crater are from the military. The extensive multi-level spaces inside the rocks which lead upward are the remnants of the army. Without the assistance of the American Army, this climb would have been much more difficult and perhaps impossible for most tourists!
The tour guide was a native born Hawaiian of Asian descent. He spent his first twenty years in Hawaii before moving to New York. He returned twenty some years later and had been giving tours for about five years. He was very knowledgeable about Hawaii and was good at his job. I tipped him well.
If I go back to Hawaii, I will attempt to explore more of Diamond Head Crater. This is a great place on Earth and well worth visiting.

When venturing into territories unknown, the more knowledge, the better. We need to understand the terrain, the weather, and likely dangers. We need to equip ourselves with maps, proper clothing, and medications.
Just as I've relied on guidebooks to navigate foreign countries, I've also turned to expert guidance for my Plan B Nation travels. While every journey is unique, it helps to be prepared. In this spirit, here are five guidebooks I recommend stashing away.
Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live, by Martha Beck (Crown 2001)
There's lots to love about this book by Oprah darling Martha Beck, which has the advantage of being super funny as well as super smart. Beck writes a lot about resolving the conflict between what she refers to as our social and essential selves, but to my mind, the aspect of the book most useful to us Plan B Nation voyagers is her elaboration of the so-called Change Cycle, a structure that underlies every life transition. While Beck's isn't the first popular book about adult life transitions — William Bridges' modern classic Transitions came out in 1980 – I've found her model especially helpful and, even more, reassuring.
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness, by Richard H. Thaler & Cass R. Sunstein (Yale 2008)
In this book, professors Thaler and Sunstein – pioneers in the field of behavioral economics – start with the idea that human beings are not rational. We make decisions for a whole bunch of reasons, many of which have little to do with our real best interests. This is why we need to pay close attention to the "choice architecture" of our lives – the external conditions that nudge us to behave in certain ways. For example, if I don't buy ice cream, the choice architecture now in place makes it far less likely that I'll devour a pint of Ben & Jerry's while watching "The Bachelorette." Make sense? Like many profoundly important ideas, the concept of choice architecture is at heart a simple one, but paying attention to it day by day can be transformative.
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, by Carol S. Dweck (Random House 2007)
For those of us accustomed to a world where effort brings results, Plan B Nation can be enormously demoralizing. How to surmount the danger of learned helplessness, the tendency to give up when our best efforts fall short, sometimes again and again? I found part of the answer to this question in Stanford psychologist Dweck's distinction between "fixed" and "growth" mindsets. As Dweck explains it, if we have a fixed mindset, we tend to believe that our successes and failures reflect something absolute about who we are. On the other hand, if we have the healthier "growth mindset," we are able to view challenges as opportunities to learn, improve, and transform. "This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives," says Dweck – underscoring why it's such a critical asset in Plan B Nation.
Radical Acceptance, by Tara Brach (Bantam 2003)
If you want to drive yourself nuts, start thinking about how things (most notably, yourself) should be different from how they are. You should have made different choices. You should have said different things. You should have married (or not married) that guy/girl you didn't (or did). Brach's Buddhist-infused psychology is a perfect antidote to such self-imposed suffering, offering techniques for breaking out of what she calls our "trance of unworthiness" in the context of illuminating personal stories. "Radical Acceptance means bringing a clear, kind attention to our capacities and limitations without giving our fear-based stories the power to shut down our lives," she writes. Over the years, I've recommended this book countless times, and if you haven't read it yet, you have a treat in store.
Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, by Herminia Ibarra (Harvard Business School 2003)
This is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite career book. Its message: The idea that you can (and should) figure out what you want to do then simply go out and do it is hogwash. Rather, research shows that successful mid-career changers – the research demographic that informs the book — live their way into new lives through a process of trial-and-error experimentation. Ibarra, a professor of organizational behavior, illustrates her points with compelling case studies and concludes with a series of nine "unconventional strategies" employed by successful career changers. I go back to this book again and again and can't recommend it more highly.

I was there a few Saturdays ago, the 30th. They were having a buy one, get one 40% off sale on their lego items, so I grabbed up enough galaxy patrol guys to make a small skirmish force (21). Same location, same minifigs, same number of figs, talk about deja vu.

Lord Mercat wrote:54? No way that's exactl- not really, I only have the 21, I may expand later, but I'm only making a small skirmish sized force of them. I can see why you have so many though, it's a fantastic minifigure design, one of the best lego's ever done, IMO. And 21 is good, because you can have 4 squads of 4, each headed up by an officer, with one extra fig to serve as the commander, which is what I reasoned when I bought that many.

Your Focus Needs More Focus….
This week I want to change gears a little bit. If you happened to have seen my bio on the website you may have noticed that I originally joined the 9Round family as a member. Like many people, I had gotten pretty far out of shape and was looking for some way to shed a few of those unwanted pounds. I had tried the "typical" gyms in the past and just couldn't get in to working out.
When I was younger I was one of those fortunate people who didn't have to work out and could still stay thin and in pretty good condition. In fact, I don't think I weighed over 150 lbs until I was about 22 years old. Then over night, it seemed like I was pushing 200 lbs. I knew that I had to do something. On a whim, I decided to try this 9Round thing. I completed my first workout with Shannon "the Cannon" and signed up on the spot. That was almost 5 years ago.
Over the years, I have had ups and downs. I have put some weight back on, and I have dropped it back off. I can't say that it has always been easy. I can say that even in my lower times, I have not been back to my starting point. It is important to focus on the positives.
So as I look back at the journey I have tried to figure out when, and what has caused the ups and downs. Specifically, I have tried to figure out what the difference was and what I was doing during the times that I was where I wanted to be.
Finally! I figured it out….. Do you want to know the secret? It's CONSISTENCY! I can very clearly trace my setbacks to the times when my workout frequency was lower, and when my nutrition habits were a little less than disciplined. Conversely, the times that I have been at my peak, are the times when my workouts are frequent and consistent, plus my eating habits are right in line with 9Round Nutrition.
I've learned that my successes or set backs are directly correlated to how consistent I am with making the right choices and staying focused on my goals. I would probably guess that many of you could make the same correlation. You may have heard that fitness is a journey, not a destination. You have to stay focused on your goals and keep putting in the work.
My 9Round workouts and nutrition program are an essential part of keeping on track and meeting my fitness goals. I am not only an employee of the company, but I am a product of the workout. I am currently in the best shape of my life and it is directly related to staying consistent and focused.
I can give you tons of workout tips and techniques to help you on your journey. But my #1 tip is stay CONSISTENT and stay FOCUSED!!

I'd be comfortable with Spencer Ecches as my prime minister. He's up-front with his corruptability!
Ecches/Smith '08!
Think about it! "Costa Del Ecches. Spencerville. Marina Del Ecches. Philburgh--Philburgh?"
"Night-thade thaid. Thee hath her own little plath!"
"Ith a little bitty plath!"
"Alright, I'll wipe it off, that'th all..."
(Name that Patchworkized movie reference!)
Thoughts on Ecches in '08? Contenders?

Hair that is naturally porous or hair that damaged by bleaching, permanent waving, sunlight or mechanical damage is more "wet-able" and the hold-providing polymers in styling products spread better and even penetrate very slightly into the hair (through the porosity in the cuticle). More product in an evenly distributed layer, grabbing hold even under the surface, means better hold.
People with undamaged hair can improve product hold by removing as much water as possible from hair before styling, and by ensuring that products are applied evenly and distributed thoroughly.

The frustrations of being an idiot and the joy of the "Ah Ha!" moment
Fifteen years ago I had never touched a keyboard. In the last century when I attended school, I was headed down the university matriculation road, taking pre-requisites like physics, chemistry, French, calculus and other challenging courses. The pow-typeders who decide such things decreed that any student headed off to a profession was not meant to take typing. Only the students in commercial courses were sat down at typewriters to learn that skill. Many years went by, as I attended nursing school, graduated, and went on to a career, marriage, kid and more career, all without any aquaintance with a keyboard. When at last I decided to get my nursing degree I still had no typing ability and since submitting un-typed papers was noy an option I had to pay to get my presentations, essays and assignments typed.
Then one day our hospital administration decided to computerize the nursing department. So suddenly there it was, on my desk, a behemoth of a monitor and keyboard. Yikes!! What to do? My two index digits got a workout. That was then. But I admit I was bitten by the tech bug. Several years passed and I found myself married, living in North Dakota and needing a computer for business. The rest is history - now its three computers later and I have graduated to using most of my ten fingers, albeit in my own peculiar style. My problems now center more on misunderstanding the symbols and pathways to getting the most out of this new wonderful laptop. Such as how to find my blog dashboard. Well today I tripped over it and here I am. Now if I can just remember how to find it again! I wonder where spellcheck is? Next time more on Uffda!
