CaptureMock provides capture-replay mocking for Python, on the command line and with client-server communication. CaptureMock's approach is a so-called capture-replay approach. This means that when you 'record' your mock, CaptureMock will observe the interaction between your code and the subsystem you are mocking out, and record it in a text file in its own format. When you then run your test in 'replay mode', CaptureMock can play the role of the subsystem in question, and the real subsystem does not need to even be installed. You can then choose, each time you run your tests, whether you wish to have the real subsystems present and verify/recreate the captured mocks, or to rely on the mocks captured by a previous run. If you are running in 'replay mode' and CaptureMock does not receive the same calls as previously, it will fail the test, and suggest that you may want to recreate the mocks in record mode.
cmocka is a unit testing framework for C with mock objects. There are a variety of C unit testing frameworks available supporting different platforms and compilers. Some development requires a lot of different compilers and older versions, which makes it difficult to use unit testing frameworks. The idea of CMocka is that a test application only requires the standard C library and CMocka itself to minimize the conflicts with standard C library headers, especially on a lot of different platforms.
SOAP/REST Mock Service is a simple configurable framework to mock out SOAP or RESTful (or "REST-like") Web services. Its main goal is to support automated integration testing of applications that integrate with 3rd party Web services. Functionality and usage scenarios of the mock service are in a way analogous to unit testing mocking tools (like Mockito or EasyMock). Once properly configured, SOAP/REST Mock Service exposes Web service mocks that can be called from application code and controlled via a REST interface from integration test code (setup, verify, etc.).
Flexmock is a mock/stub/spy library for Python. Its API is inspired by a Ruby library of the same name. However, it is not a goal of Python Flexmock to be a clone of the Ruby version. Instead, the focus is on providing full support for testing Python programs and making the creation of fake objects as unobtrusive as possible. Flexmock's design focuses on simplicity and intuitiveness. This means that the API is as lean as possible, though a few convenient short-hand methods are provided to aid brevity and readability. Flexmock declarations are structured to read more like English sentences than API calls, and it is possible to chain them together in any order to achieve high degree of expressiveness in a single line of code.
ytest is a PHPUnit extension, based on the PHP extension "runkit", that allows you to replace static, private, and global functions with fakes, stubs, or mocks. This eases the automated testing of PHP applications that weren't written in a TDD fashion (i.e. test-first). It can also be helpful on projects where many methods are kept private, or projects that don't use OOP so much. ytest has already been used to "test after" (as opposed to "test first") some real-life commercial projects, and has proven useful. It needs PHP >= 5.2.
tadedon is a set of utilities that form a foundation for applications written with one of the many Java frameworks, such as GWT, GIN, Guice, Google App Engine, commons-configuration, and many others. It lets you specify the default configuration of your application and upgrade it automatically on each new release. It can redirect all java.util.logging to slf4j and easily configure logback. It can bind application configuration in a Guice module. It supports @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy annotations (JSR 250) in Guice applications. It lets you annotate your methods with @Transactional annotation. It supports Guice injector stage in your Web application. It lets you test your Guice managed servlets and filters without needing a real servlet container. It lets you use Guice Matchers for matching super class, interface, and type literal annotations. It can inject event bus to your GWT applications with the help of GIN.

My philosophy is that ANY colors can be wearable. It's all in how you apply them.
I give you: Teal & coral eye shadow. Immediate thought? A colorful, super daring look.
My take? Equally fun and colorful, but wearable, put-together, and even sophisticated. It's actually SO easy to make a color combo like this wearable. For this, I did it by adding a bit of brown and combining the colors in a more put-together and flattering way. You can easily do it too! Check out the products used below as well as a step-by-step video tutorial on the full look below.

TUSCALOOSA | Allison Gabriel was born with Down syndrome, a genetic disorder that inhibits mental and physical development. But that didn't stop her from being an athlete.
As a senior at Northridge High School last year, Gabriel was a guard on the girls basketball team. In the spring, she helped out as a manager for the girls tennis team.
TUSCALOOSA | Allison Gabriel was born with Down syndrome, a genetic disorder that inhibits mental and physical development. But that didn't stop her from being an athlete.
As a senior at Northridge High School last year, Gabriel was a guard on the girls basketball team. In the spring, she helped out as a manager for the girls tennis team.
"I think you need to look at each individual separately and decide what they bring to the table," said John Cain, head coach for the Jaguars' basketball and tennis teams. "While there may have been people that had more skill, there was no one in this school that I thought exemplified the fighting spirit of being to overcome anything more than Allison did. To me, that was invaluable just to have her on the team to be an example to the other girls every day."
Gabriel, who graduated last year, moved on to Shelton State Community College, where she is a manager for the nationally ranked women's basketball team.
Gabriel's is a story of success for student-athletes who are disabled. Now, the U.S. Department of Education has issued a federal directive providing disabled student-athletes with the same opportunity Gabriel had. The guidelines advise schools to provide equal opportunities for disabled students to join athletic teams, or to provide them opportunities to participate in athletics.
Athletics directors and coaches throughout the Tuscaloosa county and city school systems generally share the view that the directive will mean good things for their athletic programs. And although numerous coaches say they have seen minimal interest from disabled student-athletes, they said they already provide those opportunities.
Central High School head football coach Dennis Conner said he appreciated the sentiment of the directive, but didn't think it would affect him or his team in a major way. Conner said he welcomes all students who come out for the football team, and has a policy of not cutting players regardless of ability.
"Any kids that have the qualifications in school, (pass) their physical (exam), get all their permissions signed and they have the grades and all that, I work with them all," Conner said. "I don't look at the ability or disability, because they can learn something from being out there with those guys."
Sipsey Valley High principal Dennis Alvarez said athletics shouldn't be limited to just able-bodied students.
"I think it's just that, it's an opportunity to be like everyone else," Alvarez said, "where they are not limited because of their disabilities to not have an opportunity to be a part of the team."
While the coaches and athletics directors generally agree the directive will be beneficial, many are concerned with the logistics of how the guidelines may be implemented and where additional funding to accommodate disabled student-athletes will come from.
For Alvarez, the biggest question in fulfilling the Department of Education edict is money.
"It very well could be an issue," Alvarez said. "For example, if you've got a legally blind person that wanted to play something where you have to alter the field through anything — sounds, tones or something like that — that cost has got to come from somewhere. Right now in public education, there's not a whole bunch of money."
Tamela Terry, athletics director at Paul W. Bryant High School, said potential financial issues would be something the schools will have to deal with. Still, Terry said it wouldn't be too much of an issue at Bryant, where teams are accustomed to raising money.
"All of our athletes and our teams have to raise their own money to participate, pay for officials, if they want their uniforms," Terry said. "We are constantly fundraising, all the time."
Another issue could be the part of the directive advising schools to create separate athletic opportunities for disabled students. If the student is unable to make a team but still wishes to play, the school will be obligated to find another athletic outlet for the student.
Many of the schools' coaches and athletics directors have expressed concern on how to provide those opportunities for a disabled student-athlete, especially if there aren't enough players to make up a team. Kevin Austin, Sipsey Valley's head basketball coach, was unsure of how the schools would handle a situation like that.
"It could be where you take the whole county and (create a team of students from schools within the system to) compete against other counties," Austin said. "Once again, it all comes back to all the modifications it's going to require."
Austin noted how creating those separate athletic departments for disabled student-
athletes would put a further strain on already-stretched high school athletic budgets. Austin said he believed many schools would have difficulty in handling the financial burdens that come with creating a potential separate athletic department.
Conner shared the same sentiment, saying he would favor minor modifications and rule changes to allow a disabled players onto football teams.
"At this point, it's easier to make modifications," Conner said. "You might have to stay with the kid. You might have to slow your teaching, do some extra things with them, try to find out the best way to learn."
Of the specific guidelines listed by the directive, the most readily accepted by area coaches and athletic directors is the idea of making small rule changes to accommodate disabled student-athletes. They expressed a willingness to work with the Alabama High School Athletic Association in making those implementations.
Kenneth Crowe, head football coach at Holt High School, said providing those modifications is something that schools will simply have to make a reality.
"Rules have changed every year, in some aspect, with high school sports," Crowe said. "What we have to do as coaches or administrators, is get together and brainstorm and come up with the best solution for what's going to be changing."

This year's Morris Broadband Half Marathon will begin at 8:30 a.m. April 20 at DuPont, and there are still race spots available.
For the past 10 years, DuPont State Forest has been holding marathons and half marathons, and on April 20, something special will happen for this year's fourth annual Morris Broadband Half Marathon.
"We will have our 3,000th runner cross the finish line during our race," Race Director Greg Walker of Fletcher Parks and Recreation said. "It's been a great relationship we've had with DuPont State Forest through the years, and we're looking forward to many more."
This year's Half Marathon will begin at 8:30 a.m., and there are still race spots available. According to Walker, there are 156 registered entries so far, and the field can go up to 200 athletes.
"There are a lot of area races going on that Saturday, so we won't have our two champions from last year back," Walker said.
Last year's men's winner was Illinois native Matt Morse, who set a race record with a time of 1 hour, 15 minutes, and the women's winner was Asheville's Amanda Chase, who finished with a time of 1 hour, 35 minutes.
The favorites this year share the same last name.
"Aaron Saft will be returning, and he finished third last year. What's interesting is that his wife, Beth, will be competing, too, and she's the favorite on the women's side," Walker said.
The 13.1-mile course has flat areas at the airstrip and also several inclines, including a steep climb near the end. There will be three water stations at the two-mile, five-mile and seven-mile marks.
There will also be one major change in the course.
"We are going to have a new start/finish line this year. Instead of having it at the end of Buck Forest Road, we are going to move it to the middle part of the grass meadow area. It won't have much of an impact on the race itself, but it's going to be a lot better for the spectators," Walker said.
There are runners from 10 different states entered so far, and those runners range in age from 17 to 72. The race is also part of the Asheville Track Grand Prix Series. Major sponsors are Morris Broadband, Foot Rx Running, Diamond Brand, Kimberly Clark and a newcomer, Sierra Nevada.

Okay, so the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" (RHOA) on Bravo is my FAVORITE TV show!!
I can't find any other ongoing threads on JUB about RHOA, so I thought I would create a new thread.
My favorite women on the show are NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks.
If you all have been following the show, all of the girls (except Kim Zolciak, who just had a baby boy) are going to South Africa for a 10 day vacation.
The new "unofficial" housewife on the show is Marlo Hampton, who has been bringing the DRAMA to the show. Apparently she was dating NFL player Charles Grant, but she is known for sleeping with wealthy men. Marlo Hampton has been arrested 7 times, yes, 7 times, for crimes including stabbing another woman at a club.
So, in the next week's episode, the women will be in South Africa.
Marlo gets upset that Sheree Whitfield didn't invite her to a party. So Marlo tries to diss Sheree by saying this --
Uh-oh....That's why you don't have a man. Go back and hang with those f*ggots with yo' ugly ass...

Daniel Baum, Special to The CJN
Who are you? People are afraid to find themselves. The results of their search might change them (as if that's a bad thing). But the discovery of the "real you" is what makes you, well, you. This could be a never-ending journey. And maybe that's the best part.
Taking a gap year is a daunting thought. It is a promise to yourself to take the search for inner self to the next level. The obvious comforts – friends, family, home – spring to mind first. Are you pre-pared to leave all of these behind, for a short while at least? Then the secondary doubts – school, travel partner, what to do – emerge. These levels of worry build barriers. To find oneself, one must be willing not to worry; one must be willing to try; one must be willing to say not why, but why not. As Nestea says, "Take the plunge." Plunge into this opportunity of a lifetime.
There can be a number of barriers from stopping you to doing a gap year. Let's call the first barrier the "comforts." The comforts are the little things we take for granted. It's your family, your friends, your home. These things make your day-to-day life bearable. These things aren't going away just because you are. These things will wait for you. Of course, death is lurking at every corner; such is life. Pre-vail and continue on. You will make new friends. You will create new bonds with different family. Materialism will fade away. Do not get stuck looking at your past comforts. Get ready to find new ones.
The second barrier deals with the technicalities: travel partner, schooling, gap-year program, etc. Less is more in this category.
The fewer friends you travel with, the fewer difficulties you will run into. As well, you will get to know more about yourself and your friend of choice than with a big group. Meeting new friends might seem hard, but within no time you will meet people from around the world – and they won't be exactly like you. That's the best part. They will bring with them new life experiences and a new way of thinking. Discreetly, this will squeeze your bubble until it's gone.
In terms of school, just simply ask for a deferral from your post-secondary educa-tion. If your program won't grant you one, take a leap of faith and re-apply next year. If you got accepted this year, why not next?
Finally, which program best fits your needs? There are tons of gap-year pro-grams, and they can be great. Research them. If you find one you think you'll like, go for it. The real "problem" pops up when you don't fall in love with a pro-gram. This is a blessing in disguise.
Want to become more independent and answer to only yourself? Then this is for you – Grab a calendar and plan your trip using pieces of programs. For in-stance, try Marva or Magen David Adom. These programs are for two months each and will provide unparallelled experienc-es. Being part of a big program has no correlation with these – just apply and be willing to pay the going rate. Not joining a yearlong program provides freedom that ensures true growth. It can also have the bonus of being cheaper.
Parents, let your kids do a gap year. Let them find themselves. Let them find out what life is all about. Let the bubble burst. Let life happen. You watched them hatch and slowly grow in your nest. You pro-tected them always. Nothing was, is, and will ever be more important to you. But now it's time for them to fly.
Students, you can afford a year off. Life isn't running from you; you're running with life. Time ticks the same everywhere. What's the difference between getting married at 28 or 29? Making your first million at 31 or 32? School will wait; good friends will wait; family will wait. A gap year might not. Not many times in life can you pause everything and go. No one can predict when an opportunity like this will come again. Don't take it for granted.
And lastly, don't be afraid to be differ-ent, to engage change. Don't be ordinary, average or mundane. Be special. As a friend of mine used to say, "You can't live with the chickens if you want to fly with the eagles." Just go and do it. You won't regret it.

Alabama Rehires Bear Bryant as Football Coach
"Even from the grave, we believe Bear couldn't do any worse than the 6-6 record Shula delivered this season," said Alabama athletic director Mal Moore. "Plus, everybody we hire here is going to be compared to him anyway so we figured, why not just get the real deal?"
As word spread across Tuscaloosa that Bryant was coming back, spontaneous celebrations broke out on the campus where Bryant coached for 25 years.
"Wooooo hoooooo!" shouted Ned Bunderson from his pick up truck as he drove past Bryant-Denny Stadium. "It's like he never fuckin' left anyway, we talk so much about him around here. So this kicks ass."
When asked if he thought recruiting and actually coaching on game days might be a problem due to the fact Bryant was still technically deceased, Bunderson and the three O'Shaunessy brothers in the back of his truck became enraged and threatened to, quote, "Kick the fuckin' crap" out of our MZone correspondent "for talkin' shit", thus ending the interview.
School officials plan to place a houndstooth hat on the sidelines during the games and have one of the 6,000 Bear look-alikes who show up each football Saturday do all halftime interviews and post-game press conferences. While details are still being worked out, Bryant's salary is expected to be $1.1 million per year plus incentives.

O'Shaunessy brothers? What, were they visiting cousins from Southie?
Try a name like "Drinkard" instead.
Bear's going to get all the old gang together for his staff: Stallings, Schnellenberger, Dye, Mal Moore, etc. Won't young recruits be in awe!
Honestly, the talk down here is not far from that - until yesterday, they were delusional enough to think that Spurrier and Saban were interested.
Personally, I think Mariucci would be a good hire, but no one is talking about him - and he's too smart to take this thankless job.

Yeah when they mentioned Spurrier and Saban I started laughing. They also said Barry Alvarez, but that's also laughable.
I'd look for them to go the NFL route and look for an offensive guy who'll run a pro style offense. There not going to hire a flash in the pan guy from Rutgers(ooooh 2 decent years) or even a more established winner from a MAC or WAC school, they'll take an NFL guy.
Also I find it funny that Sylvester Croom at MSU still has his job, albeit barely. He was the second choice behind Shula for the Bama job.
- November 29, 2006 10:23 AM
And Ned? Was Ned a transplant from the North as well? Try something like Booger, Bubba, Tiny, Turnip, or Earl if you're trying be authentic sounding about someone from Bama (no offense, Beast - I'll admit most of those work for many in SC as well).

That's really funny people. Grow up. We know we won't ever have a coach like the bear. You do know why we fired Shula. He was a horrible coach, that couldn't manage games, call plays, discipline players, and never got better as the year went on. Shula's record against ranked teams is 2-16, he's 0-19 when trailing in the 4th quarter. He refused to make changes within his staff.
I'm sick of all the non-alabama bama fans who were making fun of Shula 2 weeks ago now claim that Alabama is unfair to their coaches. Our last 3 coaches left because either they cheated on their wife, had drunken sex with strippers, or left because they didn't want to deal with probation.
- November 29, 2006 3:03 PM
correction: Dubose also went 3-8 when we were ranked preseason #3. And h e had sex with his secretary. But we actually didn't fire him for that. That was a year before his 3-8 record.
- November 29, 2006 3:04 PM
Anon 12:03, "We know we won't ever have a coach like the bear."
Let's hope not- one coach stating that they would claim a championship even if a "laundromat is the only one that declares us a national champion" is enough
Only in Tuscaloosa does 12 not equal 12.
- November 29, 2006 4:38 PM
Per a recent news story, the bammer AD wants a proven head coach with a record of achievement "who can reach the level of excellence that all of us desire." He said the majority of coaching candidates will be involved in bowl games "so this will take time." That implies that he somehow believes bammer to be among the nation's elite programs, and that anyone would give their left nut to coach there. PLEASE. AT BEST, bammer is mid-tier SEC now, right there with MSU and Ole Miss. Auburn, LSU, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee are all equally matched as top tier schools, all with top rate facilities and national prominence.
A friend of mine posted on our Auburn board the following: In the 23 years from 1960-1982, Alabama won or shared the SEC title 13 times, meaning over half the SEC titles in that span (57%) went to one team. In the 23 years since (through 2005), the distribution is much more even: Florida 6 times (26%), Auburn and Tennessee 5 times each (22%), LSU 4 times (17%), Bama 3 times (13%) and Georgia 2 times (9%) (figures are rounded, plus shared titles are included so percentages don't add up to 100). THAT is the new reality. Even if somehow the Bahr did come back from the dead to coach, it's just not the same SEC from 25 years ago, and I doubt even he would be able to dominate the SEC since the NCAA tends to frown on the open payment of players and other forms of cheating.
So back to the original point: why would a "proven" head coach from a team good enough to go to a bowl game this year want to move laterally (at best) or to downgrade (at worst) into the cesspool circus that is the Alabama football program? Between their dysfunctional, in over his head AD, their dirt road non-graduate, redneck, inbred, backwoods, cousin humping dead coach worshipping fan base and their their Kool-aid drinking BOT led by the overbearing son of said dead coach, a coach of ANY prominence would have to be brain dead or owe some serious vig to some Vegas gorillas to even consider that job. It's a revolving door.
My prediction: an assistant looking to prove himself, or a head coach who has succeeded at some Div 1AA or low end Div 1A school. Recruiting the top 30 ranked schools is a waste of time.

To Jim, who posted: Let's hope not- one coach stating that they would claim a championship even if a "laundromat is the only one that declares us a national champion" is enough.
At least Alabama tells you who voted them the national championship and lists others also recognized as national champs the same year and who made the award. Check their web site. I don't know of another university that does that.

How important are the college football coaches. How many percent of the success is up to the coach and up to the players? But I think good and strong leadership is very important. LR College just hired a top notche football coach for it's team, Fred Goldsmith Goldsmith was a two-time NCAA Division I National Coach of the Year at Rice (1992) and Duke (1994).

Published reports say that Rodriguez was seen talking with Dennis Franchione in N.Y. on the day he interviewed for the Alabama job. It would be interesting to know what Franchione told him. Whoever is next approaced about coaching at Alabama may want to ask the AD to provide, in writing, assurance that there are no unknown NCAA violations. Alabama is still on probation, and some say Dennis Franchione claims he was misled about Alabama's NCAA problems. I'm not saying there have been NCAA violations, but if I were a prospective coach I would want written assurances that no NCAA regs were violated (or the NCAA statute of limitations had run or the NCAA had cleared Alabama of any potential charges) when:
1. An athlete with rumored grade problems was taken to the Cotton Bowl with the team, but held out of the game last year for an unidentified "suspension." If the athlete, who is set to return next season, was academically ineligible, I would want written assurance that the athlete is eligible to participate next season under NCAA regs;
2. Courses were taken as discussed in a recent Birmingham News article (classes scheduled only on Saturdays when players knew they couldn't attend class because of games); and,
3. A starting defensive player last summer was arrested driving a car with a stolen gun and marijuana. Charges basically went away after the player pled guilty in drug court. Player was represented by a lawyer from a law firm that was involved in helping a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the NCAA by former Alabama recruiting director Ronnie Cottrell and Assistant Coach Ivy Williams. Paul Finebaum, a radio talk host in Birmingham, said the player was driving a car owened by a wealthy booster (whose daughter was alllegedly in the car). Don't know whether the player paid for his lawyer or not, but NCAA regs are pretty specific. See below:
"Pro bono legal services provided to student-athletes
Date Issued: Jun 27, 1990
Type: Staff
Item Ref: a
a. Pro Bono Legal Services Provided to Student-Athletes: Reviewed Bylaw 16.02.3 (extra benefit) and Bylaw 12.1.2 (amateurism -- forms of pay) in regard to an outside agency that wishes to provide pro bono legal services to a student-athlete, determined that such an arrangement would not be precluded provided the agency has provided this type of service in the past to other needy individuals (based upon nonathletics objective criteria), and the student-athlete initiates the contact with the agency."

I was just slightly curious what all of you "highly educated" yanks and Awbren fans think now that Saban has accepted the HC position, completed his coaching staff hires, and begun wooing some of the top prospects in the country. Is it still laughable to think that he would come here?
And to the Awbren female (and I use that term very loosely considering the 'shallowness' of the gene pool from which she came), are you really calling Bama fans inbred? LMAO! This coming from a fan whose father, brother, and uncle are most likely one in the same.

[T]he number ... has roughly doubled over the last six years... Can this bizarrely self-defeating brand of politics continue? Over the long-term, are liberal Democrats likely to keep denouncing corporate plutocrats as stridently as they denounce foreign policy hawks and religious scolds?In the old days, poorer people voted Democratic and richer folks went for the Republicans. But, per Scheiber, the 60s shook up that stability, and plenty of poorer people shifted to the Republicans and a lot of upper income types became Democrats. But are they "Cesar Chavez-style liberals" or "New Democrats"?
A 1999 Pew study found that New Democrats accounted for about 10 percent of the voting public--and just under one-quarter of the Democratic coalition--making them equivalent in number to liberals. According to Pew, the New Democrats were sympathetic to business, somewhat skeptical of government assistance to the poor, and relatively supportive of trade liberalization, capital gains tax cuts, and Social Security privatization. On the other hand, they tended to have a favorable view of government in general and were open to some regulation. They were also pro-environment and tolerant of gays.Scheiber has a Bush-did-it theory that seems all garbled to me. He doesn't mention 9/11, which is clearly "an interesting thing" that "happened between 1999 and 2005." I think Pew would have counted me as a New Democrat in 1999, and I've certainly felt that the Democratic party has redefined itself in a way that has actively ousted me. We just saw them ousting Joe Lieberman. History has forefronted national security questions, and the Democrats are closing ranks and eliminating the "liberal hawk" category. It's no suprise that if you do that what remains is a high concentration of "economic populists." Call it what it is. It's the Left.
But an interesting thing happened between 1999 and 2005, when Pew conducted another detailed analysis of the electorate: The New Democrats had entirely disappeared as a group while the liberals had doubled in size.

As they made the walk, Benjamin Garcia and his daughter stopped every few feet to read book pages that had been laminated and put on stakes. The duo were participating in Henderson County's first Story Walk for young children
Isabella Alverez twirled a ring pop in her mouth, but the treat couldn't hide the smile on her face. Snuggled in her dad's arms, the 4-year-old had just traveled the nearly quarter-mile walking trail around East Flat Rock Community Park, reading a "book" as she went.
As they made the walk, Benjamin Garcia and his daughter stopped every few feet to read book pages that had been laminated and put on stakes. The duo were participating in Henderson County's first Story Walk for young children, organized by the Children and Family Resource Center.
The nonprofit partnered with the Henderson County Youth Council and Henderson County Parks and Recreation to come up with the event, which is intended to inspire literacy and wellness. The idea for story walks came from a parks system in Vermont, said Jolie Singletary, a parent educator for the center who organized the event.
As a drizzle dissipated Thursday afternoon, workers at the resource center hammered the stakes into the ground.
"The idea is we want to eventually get more-permanent structures," Singletary said.
The visual she had in mind was something similar to historic sites, where documents are secured behind plexiglass. Different stories could be rotated in and out each quarter, she said.
On Thursday, the "Parents as Teachers" group read "Tea Rex" by Molly Idle. The book is about a boy and girl who are hosting a tea party and invite a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The book was recommended by Fountainhead Books in Hendersonville.
"We wanted something that would work for both boys and girls," Singletary said. This book had both a tea party and a dinosaur, which made it applicable, she added.
Parents could read the book to their children in English or Spanish.
As Garcia walked around the park with his daughter, they laughed at the pages. Her favorite part is when the dinosaur tries to squeeze its way into the house for the tea party. The T-rex was way too big to get through the door, prompting a fit of laughter from Alverez.
The walk accomplished what the nonprofit had hoped it would.
"It was fun," Garcia said. "I think it's a good idea."
Singletary is hoping other county residents think it's a good idea.
"We've been talking about it for several months now, so we're excited it's up and running," she said. "We feel like the vision we have for the story walk will take off."
Henderson County is the perfect place for it to gain momentum, she said, adding that the goal is to expand to other area parks. The resource center is writing a grant in an effort to secure funding.
"Henderson County is just such a family-friendly place, so we thought this would be a good place for this," Singletary said.

AL West teams must adjust as Astros enter fold
By T.R. Sullivan /12/28/12 10:00 AM ET
ARLINGTON -- The designated hitter was adopted by the American League in 1973 and ever since then, there has been a perceived difference between the National and American Leagues.
The stereotypical view is the American League has more offense while the National League has more strategy based on the fact that the pitcher has to hit. But Angels manager Mike Scioscia, entering his 14th season, doesn't see it that way from an offensive standpoint.
"The one thing I've found is there are many more things you can do on the offensive end with a DH in your lineup," Scioscia said. "In the National League, you find with the seventh or eighth hitter, moving a runner really doesn't make a lot of sense. In the American League, you can play little ball from the second inning if you want to from the bottom of your lineup."
Scioscia likes the idea of using the hit-and-run, the steal and the sacrifice bunt with any player in the bottom of his lineup without worrying about a rally being stopped by a pitcher with a .115 batting average.
"There are so many things that are opened up to your team to do with the DH that don't include the home run, includes a lot more of just playing baseball ... being able to do some things with the bottom of your lineup from the first inning on that just really doesn't make a lot of sense to do in the National League," Scioscia said.
That's just one of the adjustments the Astros and new manager Bo Porter will have to learn as they get ready for their first season in the AL. After 51 years in the NL, the Astros are moving to the AL West for the 2013 season. For the first time since three divisions came into play in 1994, the AL West will have five teams.
To this point, the AL West has been the exclusive province of the Angels, Rangers, Mariners and Athletics, making it the only four-team division in the game. It has also been one of the two most competitive.
Over the past 18 seasons -- taking away strike-shortened 1994 -- the Rangers, Angels and Athletics have each won five division titles, while the Mariners have won three. In the AL East, the Yankees have won 13 of the last 18 division titles. In the AL Central, the Indians have won seven titles, the Twins have won six, the White Sox have won three and the Tigers just two.
The only division that can match the AL West for even distribution of first-place finishes is the NL West, where the Giants and D-backs have won five titles each while the Padres and Dodgers have won four since 1995. The Astros won four division titles in the NL Central, second most behind the seven captured by the Cardinals. The Braves and the Phillies have won 16 of 18 titles in the NL East since 1995.
Now, the AL West has a new team ready to intrude on the competitive balance. There will be adjustments for everybody, from style to scheduling and travel.
"It's a different dynamic," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said. "It's a team that we don't know a whole lot about. They broke it down there over the last couple years and expect to get better going forward and probably have some resources to do it. You look at the record last year, I don't think that's going to be indicative of the type of team they are this year. It's a team that's probably going to be an up-and-coming team in the years to come."
The Astros enter a pitching-rich division. The AL has long been stereotyped as an offensive league, but not out West. Over the past four years, the four West teams rank in the top six among team ERA in the AL. The Rays have a 3.72 ERA over the past four years combined, followed by the Athletics (3.75), Mariners (3.86), Yankees (3.98), Angels (4.02) and Rangers (4.02).
"The pitching in the West is pretty tough, that's why the division is so tough," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Seattle, they've always played us tough because they've always had pitching. Oakland always has pitching. This past year they pitched, they had speed, they had many ways that they could hurt you and beat you in the ballgame, and they put it together.
"It is tough when you start to play in that division because you have to deal with good pitching."
The Astros do have to address the designated-hitter role for the first time, and they signed Carlos Pena earlier this month as their primary candidate. But having a full-time DH has become more of the exception rather than the rule.
Just in the past 10 years, only 35 times has a player had at least 400 at-bats in a season as his club's DH. David Ortiz did it eight times with the Red Sox and Travis Hafner did so four times with the Indians. Most clubs use multiple players as their designated hitter as a way of getting their regular position players extra rest.
"Unless you've got a guy that's thundering the ball and a guy who can hit for average and power and be a run-producer, it almost becomes a better situation for you if you can bounce it around a little bit, because you can give your guys a break," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "Obviously, you always want a hitter in that role. Maybe it's a guy that's your everyday third baseman or left fielder or whatever it might be, but you want to get him off his feet a little bit, but you still want his bat in the lineup.
"If you've got a guy hitting .300 and driving out 35, 40 [home runs] and driving in 120 [runs], that's great. But it's tough to find that."
The presence of the DH forces the AL manager to approach his pitching differently. In the NL, pitchers are often removed from a game simply because the game dictates a pinch-hitter for him. In the AL, pitching changes are all up to the manager.
"A lot of times in the National League, from a manager's standpoint, you get to that sixth inning, it's bases loaded, it's two outs, you feel like this is my best chance to get back into this game, and you're forced to hit for that guy at that time," Porter said. "In the American League, obviously, you're not dealing with that.
"You have the DH, the pitcher is not in the lineup. One of the things that we will stress to our starters is we're giving you the ball because we feel like you're one of the best five pitchers on this ballclub. We want them to take that responsibility quite seriously and not look over their shoulder at all."
If nothing else, the Astros must get used to the extra travel. The average distance between Houston and the five remaining NL Central cities is 1,120 miles. The average distance to their new four division opponents is 1,546 miles, which ranges from 241 miles to Dallas to 2,449 miles to Seattle. The Astros' shortest trip in the NL Central was 863 miles to St. Louis, while the longest was 1,366 miles to Pittsburgh.
The three AL West Coast teams are now looking at extra trips and extra time in Texas. It's a new setup for all involved.

The railroad crossing is located north of Valley Boulevard and south of Lower Azusa Road on Baldwin Avenue, a main north-south thoroughfare connecting Interstates 10 and 210. Baldwin Avenue is used daily by 28,000 vehicles, including significant truck traffic, and a blocked by an average of 20 Union Pacific freight trains a day. Two collisions have been logged at the crossing during the past 10 years.
"Today's groundbreaking marks the start of a project that will eliminate train delays, deadly crossing collisions and locomotive horn blasts, help improve our region's air quality and create 1,370 jobs during two years of construction," said city of San Gabriel Councilman David Gutierrez, chairman of ACE. "We thank our federal, state, local and railroad partners for providing the funding support needed to get this project under construction."
The $75.9-million project is scheduled to be completed in 2015. The project is an investment in a program of grade separations along the Alameda Corridor-East Trade Corridor, which accommodates about 60 percent of the containers moved from the nation's busiest container ports in the San Pedro Bay to the rest of the country via the region's rail network.

Combining the DIY punk ethos of CRASS, DISCHARGE, and AMEBIX,
with the psychedelic energy of HAWKWIND and OZRIC TENTACLES, and a dash
of SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES and THE SLITS, IOWASKA create their own
unique blend of space-rock, punk, and cosmic thrash. This British band
offers a potent cocktail of driving guitars, haunting melodies,
throbbing bass lines, and a thundering beat. With lyrics to put a
thought in your mind and a chill up your spine, IOWASKA's sheer seething
power and irrepressible passion combine for an ecstatic ride. They have
played with CAPTAIN SENSIBLE, CHUMBAWUMBA, CITIZEN FISH and DIRT, as
well as many other punk and space-rock veterans, and frequently command
the stage at huge UK festivals. IOWASKA�s performances feature a
memorable light show, dubbed "Medicine Lights", which combines a fractal
sea of oil slides and psychedelia, with cinema footage of momentous,
radical political events, tailored to fit their lyrics.
Guitar player/vocalist Sam Skraeling began her musical career by
lending her distinctive voice to AMEBIX for the "No Sanctuary" EP. She
began playing guitar with the SKRAELINGS in 1991. The following year,
Sam and bandmate Graham performed an impromptu festival show with
Martin, their current drummer. Excited by the chemistry, they vowed to
collaborate again whenever their paths crossed. As luck would have it,
they finally got their chance in 1994.
Originally called "Ayahuasca", from an Arthur Brown song about
a South American hallucinogen, they later altered the spelling to match
the pronunciation. IOWASKA played their first show in August 1994,
three weeks after their formation. The band soon had the opportunity to
support fire-helmeted, psyche-screamer Arthur Brown in London, and
embarked on their first major UK tour in July 1995 with R.D.F. (Radical
Dance Faction), a popular punk/ska/dub band. IOWASKA gained an
immediate following and a sizable mailing list, for which the band
crafted a free fanzine shortly after. In true rock & roll spirit, a new
bass player had to learn the entire set in the tour van, when the
original bassist suddenly dropped the ball. He pulled it off with style
and the crowd was none the wiser. The band continued to tour heavily
between 1996-1999, playing festivals, squat parties, warehouse shows,
political demonstrations, and many of the major U.K. venues.
In 1999, JELLO BIAFRA caught an IOWASKA performance in London,
and was allegedly spotted dancing in the pit! He enthusiastically
likened the band to "the Cambodia side of the Dead Kennedys". In
November 2000, the band entered the studio to record "Vine of
Souls"CD/LP for Alternative Tentacles (release: April 2001). The
stunning cover art and booklet are both handpainted by Sam, and feature
her distinctive calligraphy. She declares, "Although computers would be
quicker, I still prefer the human touch when it comes to art and
music!" Old school indeed!

A week ago, Rockstar teased us with a glimpse of Grand Theft Auto V, but we were left with so many questions. Where and when will it take place? What new innovation makes this worthy of Rockstar's rare full numbered sequel treatment? What's with the dollar-sign five?
Today the trailer hit, and it answered some of those questions.
Our unnamed protagonist/narrator apparently moved to Rockstar's twist on Los Angeles to get away from a criminal past and raise a family, but of course, things don't work out as planned. The trailer implies several settings, from cities to mountain trails and even a brief look at a farm, so it may be taking notes from San Andreas' variety. We even see a few shots of airplanes.
Check out the trailer for yourself below.

It is the first time since 1971 that the public has been able to walk through the historic 27,000-square-foot waiting room that welcomed immigrants settling in Minnesota, orphans sent westward to new homes, soldiers departing or returning from war, travelers, redcaps and porters who worked at the Union Depot and many more. The last passenger train left Union Depot in 1971 and in 1974, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2013, Amtrak trains will start arriving and departing from Union Depot and in 2014, Central Corridor Light Rail, the Green Line, will serve Union Depot on Fourth Street.
Restoration of the near century-old depot, located on a 33-acre site along the Mississippi River, included returning its original 1920s color scheme through complete repainting and plaster restoration of the waiting room and head house; reconstruction of the carriageway and returning the Fourth Street entrance to its original design. In addition, new construction involved rebuilding the train deck and tracks and building a new multilevel passenger drop-off entrance with ticket and baggage counters.
Mortenson, design-build contractor for Union Depot, with URS Corporation and HGA Architects, worked to assure that all aspects of the project met historic guidelines of the State Historical Preservation Office and Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission.
RCRRA executives are planning a series of celebrations in 2013 to mark milestones of the return of Union Depot as a regional transportation hub.
