President's Report
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in 2011
Reconstruction of the James Anderson Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury complex, funded by a gift from Forrest E. Mars Jr.
Native American history is at the center of one of the foundation's Electronic Field Trips broadcast to millions each year.
A teacher visits the Print Shop during a Teacher Institute summer session, when scores of history and social studies educators come to Williamsburg to learn new techniques and methods.
Citizenship lies at the core of the foundation's mission: a young girl celebrates at the annual naturalization ceremony in the Historic Area for those becoming citizens.
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation gained more donor support in 2011, enjoyed record success in educational Internet and technology initiatives, welcomed a growing number of guests to its museums, expanded collaborations and partnerships, and pushed toward finishing reconstruction of the James Anderson Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury complex.
About 1.7 million guests visited the Historic Area, roughly as many as the year before. The count is based on a formula that compares visits to Colonial Williamsburg's open setting with attendance at gated sites, and accounts for the length of stay associated with one-day, two-day, and annual passes, as well as special experience tickets. The foundation sold 670,500 general admission tickets compared with 686,000 in 2010, and 212,000 for evening programs and carriage rides compared with 218,000 in 2010.
More than 875,000 new and repeat guests passed through the remodeled Regional Visitor Center. A new custom-built, interactive kiosk presented Historic Triangle attractions, lodging, and restaurants, as well as shopping and recreation opportunities.
Nearly 1.6 million people rode Colonial Williamsburg's buses compared with 1.7 million in 2010. The buses also shuttled 123,000 passengers to Busch Gardens, Jamestown, and Yorktown, 4,000 fewer than the year before.
Condé Nast Traveler magazine included the Colonial Houses—Historic Lodging hotel properties on its 2011 "Best of the World" list, and its readers ranked the Williamsburg Inn and Williamsburg Lodge among the top resorts in the mainland United States. Forbes Travel Guide named the Inn a four-star hotel, one of only three in Virginia.
The Colonial Williamsburg Art Museums, among the most visited in Virginia, attracted 211,500 guests in 2011, a 1% increase, and introduced exhibitions of early American maps and prints, fashion and accessories from 1600 to 1840, the 1790-1820 furniture of John Shearer, clay masterworks of North Carolina earthenware, and The Old Plantation, a rare eighteenth-century watercolor depicting slave life.
Archaeological discovery of a Revolutionary War-era tinsmith works at the Anderson site inspired Forrest E. Mars Jr. to support the shop's reconstruction and endowment, adding to his underwriting of R. Charlton's Coffeehouse and the Armoury. When complete, the Armoury site will tell the story of the complexity of mounting a war effort against the world's most powerful eighteenth-century empire.
Educational Outreach
Educational outreach media and teacher development programs engaged new audiences. More than 1,500 teachers attended workshops on-site, off-site, and online. The Emmy Award-winning Electronic Field Trip series broadcast to an audience of six million viewers in forty-nine states and Canada. For Constitution Day, Colonial Williamsburg gave complimentary access to 5,700 schools and families for A More Perfect Union, an EFT about the document's ratification.
The foundation's Web sites logged 8.5 million visits, 12% more than in 2010, and four million podcast and vodcast downloads. Colonial Williamsburg Connect, a new online American history, citizenship, and democracy program for the general public, enabled online visitors to explore and discuss American history and twenty-first-century responsibilities as citizens through webcast presentations and discussion forums.
Nearly 3,800 individuals followed the foundation on Twitter, an increase of more than 2,300, and Facebook fans grew to 44,000 by year end. A Duke of Gloucester Street "flash mob" performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir generated nearly 170,000 views on YouTube and nationwide news media attention.
Thousands of guests at December's annual Grand Illumination fireworks enjoyed extended hours, more convenient refreshment stands, and special kits containing blankets and glow sticks, as well as a new mobile site to help plan their visit and share their experience in real time on social media.
Revquest: Sign of the Rhinoceros™, a historically based alternate reality game enabled families to engage with each other, history, and the Historic Area by challenging participants to solve a mystery and avert a crisis that could alter the course of the Revolutionary War. Players started online before reaching Williamsburg, and upon arrival interacted with interpreters and clues communicated through personal mobile technology. More than 10,000 guests of all ages played. The success led to planning of a new edition of RevQuest for 2012.
The foundation enlivened the guest experience through such additional opportunities as the Fun Zone at the Williamsburg Woodlands Hotel & Suites, Live after Five programming in the Historic Area, Salute to the Nation on summer Friday nights featuring Colonial Williamsburg's Fifes and Drums and fireworks, expanded "in the moment" presentations in the Historic Area, and creative museum exhibitions.
Collaborations and Partnerships
Colonial Williamsburg and Preservation Virginia's Historic Jamestowne collaborated in support of the world-class archaeology conducted at the site of England's first permanent New World outpost. There were new opportunities for interpretive programs, as guests saw settler sites unearthed and dramatic presentations telling the stories of Jamestown's struggles to survive.
A partnership with the Chautauqua Institution and the Smithsonian created the symposium "Storm on the Horizon: Slavery, Disunion, and the Roots of the Civil War," convened in Williamsburg. The foundation presented a weeklong series on the subject at Chautauqua as part of that institution's summer program.
Partnerships with the Virginia Arts Festival, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, the Williamsburg Symphonia, and An Occasion for the Arts expanded arts opportunities for guests and residents.
In a planned transition, Thomas F. Farrell II assumed leadership of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation board of trustees in November 2011, having been elected vice chairman and chairman-elect the year before. Richard G. Tilghman, who had been chairman, stepped down, joining Charles R. Longsworth and George B. Beitzel as a chairman emeritus.
Farrell is chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Dominion Resources, Inc., headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. He became a foundation trustee in 2006.
Leslie A. Miller of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, joined the trustees in 2011. An attorney in private practice, Miller is an advisor to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and was the first woman to serve as general counsel of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and as president of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. She and Richard B. Worley, her husband and a senior trustee, funded the Leslie Anne Miller and Richard B. Worley Gallery in the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum and have supported interpretive programming in the Historic Area.
Also in 2011, Afsaneh Beschloss, president and chief executive officer of the Rock Creek Group and former chief investment officer of the World Bank, retired from the board after twelve years of service and became a senior trustee.

A Sarasota doctor with a history of disciplinary actions against him, including several instances of exploitation of patients and various medical and ethical lapses, was arrested Monday on charges he was practicing medicine without a license.
Dr. Leonard Rubinstein, 59, was practicing medicine at the Center for Integration in Cosmetic Surgery, 1805 Siesta Drive, according to the Sarasota Police Department.
Authorities began investigating Rubinstein after "numerous" complaints were lodged with the Florida Department of Health, alleging that the doctor was practicing medicine despite having his medical license revoked.
Rubinstein, whose medical specialties ranged from allergy treatment to ear, nose and throat procedures to breast augmentation, was repeatedly investigated and sanctioned by the state Board of Medicine over two decades, including being fined and put on probation at least twice. The board also required that an outside doctor monitor Rubinstein to make sure he was not handing out incorrect diagnoses or treatment or over-billing patients.
Finally in April 2011 the Florida Board of Medicine voted to revoke his medical license, but it took until December 2012 until the license was permanently revoked.
However, he eventually resumed his practice, authorities say.
The SPD conducted an undercover sting operation with a female officer posing as a patient seeking breast augmentation surgery. The officer eventually had an office visit with Rubinstein during which he reportedly told the woman that he is not licensed in this country and therefore does all his surgeries in Cancun, Mexico, according to the probably cause affidavit. At no time did Rubinstein tell the officer his licence has been revoked, the documents say.
Rubenstein then discussed pre- and post-operative procedures he would perform and medication he would prescribe the "patient," court documents show. Rubinstein also discussed prices for the procedures, and offered the officer a $1,000 discount if the procedure was performed before Nov. 24 of this year, those documents show.
On Monday, SPD searched Rubinstein's office and seized numerous medical records and marketing materials that indicated he was practicing medicine and evidence of illegally obtained controlled medication.
Rubinstein was charged with one count of attempting or offering to practice medicine with a revoked license. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are expected, the SPD said.
If any individual who may have been a patient after Dec. 7, 2012 and/or is in need of their medical records, copies can be obtained by contacting Lt. James Rieser of the Sarasota Police Department Bureau of Criminal Investigations at (941) 954-7093.

Endowments are permanent funds established to provide annual income for a specific program or purpose. Aquinas Institute of Theology has established endowed gift opportunities in three categories.
Scholarship endowment is Aquinas Institute's highest priority. This support offers substantial financial aid to bright and promising men and women who have a deep desire to serve the Church. Increased scholarship funding will strengthen our student body, enable student to complete their studies without burdensome debts and ultimately attract more young people to ministry and Church leadership.
With a gift of $100,000 or more Aquinas will name a scholarship after the donor or for someone whom the donor designates. Scholarship recipients of named endowments contact donors annually.
Endowed faculty chairs will enable us to attract and retain excellent faculty and develop new courses and programs. Currently we are seeking funding for three chairs:
The Ashley-O'Rourke Chair in Health Care Ministry Leadership
Aquinas Institute has inaugurated this chair in recognition of the distinguished contributions of Fr. Benedict M. Ashley, O.P., and Fr. Kevin D. O'Rourke, O.P., to theological education and to the ministry of Catholic health care.
Catherine of Siena Chair in Theology
Established in honor of this great Dominican Doctor of the Church, a Dominican woman will occupy this chair.
Dominican Chair in Preaching
This chair will highlight the centrality of preaching in Aquinas Institute's mission and will be occupied by a Dominican man or woman in the homiletics department.
An endowment for academic excellence will provide annual income to strengthen programs and departments. This fund will support sabbaticals, study leaves and colloquia for faculty, faculty research and the development of innovative courses, the creative use of technology for teaching and learning, distinguished visitors and lectures, and new programs to meet the changing needs of the Church.

You will need a lot of helps if you want to move from your old home to your new one because when you move, you have to pack your belongings, transport them to your new home, clean up your old home and new home, and decide what you want to do with your old home. To pack your belongings and to clean up your homes, you may be able to ask your relatives and friends for help; but to transport those items, sometimes you need to do that yourself, unless your friends or relatives have a heavy duty truck that they can lend to you. If you have to transport your furniture, electronics and other household items that you have yourself, contacting a long distance mover is a great idea. Long distance movers are everywhere to find and they are always eager to provide you with help when you want to transport your belongings over a long distance.
Because there are many movers that you can hire, you should be able to choose one which you consider the most reliable. There are several criteria determining the reliability of a moving company. Firstly, a reliable moving company should be eager not only to help you transport your belongings, but also to help you pack them. A reliable moving company has a packing supply that can be used to pack your items safely and securely. Secondly, if you want to move abroad, International moving companies are the only companies that you can rely on. Those companies can provide you with the most reliable method to transport your belongings from your home country to the country where your new home is located. Thirdly, a reliable moving company charges you reasonably.
Because there are many things that need to be inquired in order to ensure the reliability of an International Moving company, you should interview each company that you can find so that you can finally choose one which is the most reliable.

- Team Assassin games - doubles
- As simple as it sounds, make the 3/4 team games assassin if wanted.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- It would add even more fun to the site, I think.

well, in that case, it might be too hard or too long...but if it was just a teammate it'd be easy to just gang up and only attack them, cuz usually in dubs the teammates aren't even. One's more powerful...

You sure are good at getting people on your side, especially with the "[MODS PLEASE HAVE A LOOK]". I'll bet you work in Public Relations?
Anyways, I'm not too sure this idea would be too different than how team games function already.
ParadiceCity9 wrote:Bones2484 wrote:Anyways, I'm not too sure this idea would be too different than how team games function already.
how so
ParadiceCity9 wrote:I'm currently in each of those. Next argument?
For team termy, I thought it would just be nobody gets any points until the last player from a team is dead. Then when the player from one team kills the last player from another team, the team with the individual who killed off one team would get the points divided up amongst themselves like normal 4 player doubles games. That sound good?yeti_c wrote:There are a number of flaws with Team assassin that you would need to discuss/iron out first.
I'm pretty sure they were mentioned in the last thread about Team Assassin.
Team Termy also would have to have some decisions made too. (i.e. who gets the points for a kill? - indivuduals or teams? Who gets the points if you kill a member of your own team?) etc.

Is it possible to mention the Buick Grand National without also mentioning Lord Vader, as made famous by Motor Trend in the mid-1980s? No, no it isn't. So, I thought I'd get the reference out of the way so we can focus on the importance of some exciting news:
The Grand National, GNX and T-Type will reportedly come back into Buick's stable after nearly three decades of absence.
If you're like me, one of your first thoughts upon hearing this news is wondering if GM will simply offer a blacked-out Regal with the GNX nameplate, hope to attract some sentimental fans from the 1980s and call it good. However, this looks like the real deal, complete with a new RWD platform from the hot-selling Cadillac ATS and power that could reach, or even exceed, 400 hp.
Inside Line has a source who says the GNX could get the all-new GM LT1 small-block V8, which should get at least 450 hp in the new Corvette. That engine is also a candidate for a potential ATS-V, so a slightly de-tuned version for the high-performance Buick would make a lot of sense. The Grand National and T-Type versions could see power from a twin-turbo V6, with all models getting either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Naturally, the Grand National would be offered in any color a buyer wants, as long as it's black.
Expectations are for these three new vehicles to debut at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
Automobile magazine reports that Jaguar has given the green light to a project dubbed X760, which would bring us a new small sedan and a crossover. Those two entries would complete Jaguar's transformation into a genuine BMW/Audi competitor and finally give buyers the option of the first small Jag since the X-Type. With Jaguar styling taking a serious turn toward the dramatic in the post-X-Type years, this could be some exciting news for fans of the entry-level cat.
We'll keep an eye out for official word from Jaguar and, of course, early peeks into the design, but for now take a moment to remember last year's Bertone B99 concept. Not bad, but I think design director Ian Callum and team can do much better.
Are you more excited for a new small Jaguar or the return of the Buick Grand National?

The Global White Lion Protection Trust
A leader in community-based conservation
The White Lion Trust is a registered NPO/Public Benefit Organisation situated in a protected area of nearly 4,400 acres of endemic bushveld. The land was acquired by the White Lion Trust, which has re-introduced captive bred white lions into their natural habitat in a carefully phased, ground-breaking scientific program. The White Lions have integrated with wild golden lions, and our three prides now roam freely in their ancestral heritage lands.
Founded in 2002 by Linda Tucker after nearly ten years of intensive research into both the scientific and cultural significance of the White Lions, the White Lion Trust has built up a strong and consistent record of creating mutual benefits for Lions, Land and People. Under the expert guidance of our Head of Operations, Lion Ecologist Jason Turner, The White Lion Trust continues to bring to the world important scientific data and leads calls for the legal protection of Panthera Leo, particularly the critically endangered sub-species we refer to as The White Lion.
The White Lions
A global heritage
The White Lions are a genetic rarity of Panthera Leo and appeared in only one place on earth – in the Timbavati and Kruger regions of the UNESCO-declared Kruger to Canyons Biosphere (K2C). Their conservation significance within this wildlife ecosystem is matched by their cultural value to the Tsonga and Sepedi communities, supported by other indigenous authorities around the globe. Today, however, after six decades of forced removals from their endemic habitat, most White Lions are held captive in zoos and circuses worldwide. Commercial trophy hunting of lions may be ethically and scientifically indefensible, but legal loopholes mean that it is still practiced right here on our borders. Lions – including White Lions – may be commercially hunted in their natural habitat or, even worse, speed bred in captivity to become victims of the notorious "Canned Hunting" industry. Right now, there are hundreds of White Lions in captivity but less than 13 in the wilds of their endemic habitat.
Our Work
For lions, land and people
Over the course of two decades, The White Lion Trust has implemented a multi-level strategy which celebrates culture, advances social learning, uplifts the local living economy and revives the biodiversity and dignity of human life and wildlife. This LionHearted Leadership model is inspiring revival beyond mere survival. It is partnering with like-hearted people and organisations to restore health and prosperity to the human world as well as abundance and security to the natural kingdom. Whether this means upgrading our fencing system to protect the White Lions and other animals under our guardianship from persistent poachers, acquiring more land for the benefit of our prides, supporting local education programs or developing innovative observation and tracking systems for the daily scientific research that is so intrinsic to our project, we strive always for excellence knowing that the work we do is essential for the ultimate survival of our entire ecology.
The White Lion Trust partners with PAL
We're proud to be partnering with PAL (Protecting African Lions) who are donating ALL the proceeds from their iconic bracelets to the White Lions.

Last week, Tanya (from The Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog) and I had a friendly bet going over the World Series between my Colorado Rockies and her Boston Red Sox. If the Rockies won, she would give away a Breastfeeding Coalition t-shirt. And if the Sox won, I would give away an "I make milk…" t-shirt from my store.
The Red Sox swept the Rockies 4-0 and the series was over before it even started, though it did get pretty good at the end of the last game. Even I, not generally a baseball fan, watched some of it. 😉
In light of the Sox's win, I am indeed giving away an "I make milk. What's your superpower?" t-shirt. And, because Tanya is such a good sport, she's throwing in two "Breastfeeding Welcome Here" stickers as runner-up prizes. 🙂
Win it!Â
I'm going to make this short and sweet. To win an "I make milk. What's your superpower?" t-shirt or one of two runner-up prizes of a "Breastfeeding Welcome Here" sticker, leave a comment here stating one of your favorite breastfeeding moments. The winners will be selected using Random.org the morning of Nov. 8 and announced later that day.

Summer Bean Salads: 2-Bean Salad With Roasted Jalapeños and Pickled Red Peppers
We've all had that ubiquitous three-bean salad. You know, the geriatric-style blend of kidney, green, and garbanzo beans. But if I'm being totally honest, there's a definite draw—or at least a reason it has endured for so long. So I set out to update it for this week's series on summer bean salads.
It turns out (big surprise here) that a modern version is exponentially more interesting. I opted for two types of beans: kidney and green. The two beans are joined by the duo of fire-roasted jalapeños and pickled red peppers. The result is something bright and, dare I say, exciting.
The salad is finished with a bracing red wine vinaigrette and a shower of chopped flat-leaf parsley, both important aspects to keep it nuanced and fresh. The ratio is intentionally on the acidic side since the beans soak up a lot of the "bite."
You can substitute half of a four-ounce can of fire-roasted jalapeños to save yourself a step, but I find the flavor of a freshly roasted one is far better. If you're worried about heat, you can remove the seeds and white membrane for milder results. In the event you have trouble locating pickled red peppers (look in the Italian or Polish sections of a well-stocked grocer), soak minced, roasted red peppers in a teaspoon of red wine vinegar for 30 minutes before incorporating them into the recipe.

Important: Read below before installing.
- It is recommended that you back up your system prior to installing any updates.
- The installation process should not be interrupted, even if the progress bar remains unchanged for several minutes. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Support Downloads to update.
- You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
- If issues occur during installation--for example, if Software Update quits unexpectedly--please see this article.
Installing the update
To update to Mac OS X 10.5.4, use Software Update or the standalone installer. You only need to use one of these methods to update your computer.
Software Update
Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to automatically check for the latest Apple software using the Internet, including this update. (Software Update might have linked you to this article to learn more about the update.) If your computer is not up-to-date, other software updates available for your computer may appear which you should install. Note that an update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed using Software Update. Also, some updates must be installed prior to others, so you should run Software Update more than once to make sure you have all available updates.

Integration Testing
- 1 Before you start: What not to test...
- 2 Installing and Configuring your Web Test Environment
- 3 Developing Web Tests
Before you start: What not to test...
Compared to unit tests, the maintenance of web tests is relatively costly as the GUI usually changes more quickly than back-end services. You should think well about what you should automate and what not. Imagine you'd have to change your tests whenever you changed a translation string or made some small change in your page design.
Before developing a new web test decide for yourself whether the total cost of recording, automating and maintaining the test in the future will be less than the cost for manual testing.
Of course writing automated tests is a lot more fun than doing manual testing and this should be considered benefit (or cost) as well.
Some tests are simply not obvious (like some very special error or workflow condition not easily visible from the GUI alone). Such tests also should be automated thereby documenting the hidden feature. They should be recorded by the developer at development time and not by the tester as the tester simply may not know about the hidden functionality.
Usually the general guidelines for web tests are as follows...
What you should not test with Selenium:
- correctness of texts and translations
- presence of images
- design guidelines compliance
- browser compatibility of the design (e.g. CSS)
- anything else that testers and end users will see immediately anyway
What you may automate:
- highly repetitive tests (or parts of tests)
- complicated workflows with many branches and conditions
- testing form fields, especially form field validation
- correct handling of border and error conditions (invalid request parameters, direct get/post, XSS, CSRF, etc.)
- correct display of error messages for error conditions
- browser compatibility of workflows and border/error conditions
In the end the decision remains with the developer or tester. These are not strict rules, just guidelines.
Installing and Configuring your Web Test Environment
We use Selenium for automated web tests. If you like to get an overview over the different Selenium components then please have a look at the Selenium documentation.
Selenium tests can best be developed using a plug-in for the Firefox browser. This plug-in can record all actions you perform on a web page and replay them. It also contains an editor to manually extend or adapt your test cases.
Once the Selenium code (they call it Selenese) has been developed, it can be executed in all browsers.
So first step: get the latest version of Firefox installed.
Selenium IDE
You can view a tutorial on using the Selenium IDE to complete PKP Web tests here.
- Download the latest Selenium IDE Firefox Plugin from the Selenium Download Page. You won't find the word "Firefox" there. Just download "Selenium IDE", that's the plug-in. Don't use the plug-in you might find on the Firefox add-on pages as this is often outdated.
- Install the plug-in into FireFox.
- Restart FireFox.
Selenium RC (optional)
Selenium RC is only required if you plan to automate your web tests with PHPUnit or if you want to execute your tests in other browsers than Firefox. It is the "remote control" of Selenium that exposes an API that has bindings to several browsers and programming languages, including PHP. PHPUnit requires Selenium RC to execute tests.
Selenium RC is written in Java. This means you need a current Java Runtime first.
To install Selenium RC, please:
- Download the latest Selenium RC from the Selenium Download Page
- Extract the zip file into any folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\selenium-rc) you want to run Selenium RC from.
Installing Selenium RC as a Windows Service (optional)
If you plan to write automated Selenium tests regularly then it might be a good idea to install Selenium RC as a service. This allows you to easily start and stop Selenium RC.
First download and install the correct Windows Resource Kit for your platform.
Then open a command line window (Start->Execute...->"cmd").
Register the Selenium service on the command line like this:
instsrv.exe SeleniumRC "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe"
If you installed the Windows Resource Kit to another location then you have to change the command path. If you don't have the resource kit's Tools directory on the path then cd there to execute the command.
Now coppy the following text to a file called "selenium.reg":
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SeleniumRC\Parameters] "Application"="java.exe" "AppDirectory"="C:\\Program Files\\selenium-rc\\selenium-server-1.0.1" "AppParameters"="-Xrs -jar selenium-server.jar"
If you installed Selenium RC to another directory or you downloaded another version then you have to adapt the "AppDirectory" key.
Double-click the newly created file "selenium.reg" to add the entries to the registry.
Now open the Windows services configuration program. (You can find it in your "System Configuration" tools under "System Administration".)
Open the new "SeleniumRC" service with a double click.
On the main page you probably want to configure the service to start manually only.
Now go to the log-in tab and configure the service user. If you leave the system account then also check the "allow data exchange between service and desktop" option. This will help in debugging automated tests later.
Close the service configuration.
You should now be able to start the service. If you've allowed data exchange between service and desktop, then a command line window should open showing you the successful start of the Selenium RC service.
Developing Web Tests
Software environment
I used the following software configuration when I created this tutorial:
- Firefox 3.5.3
- Selenium IDE 1.0.2
- Selenium RC 1.0.1
- Eclipse Galileo with PDT 2.0
- PHPUnit 3.4
Create "Selenese" for a test case
- Open the web page you want to test.
- Open the Selenium IDE Sidebar in Firefox ("View -> Sidebar -> Selenium IDE") or if you prefer an independent window then "Tools->Selenium IDE".
- The red "record" button should already be activated.
- Now execute your test actions (click links, enter text into forms, etc.) on the web-site. You should see that the Selenium IDE is recording everything you do.
Tests do not make a lot of sense if they only contain actions. They also should contain assertions that test whether the actions resulted in the expected result.
You can insert assertions at any time while recording a test using Firefox's context menu. The most common assertions are at the bottom of the context menu. Other commands are reachable through the context menu entry "Show all available commands".
I cannot explain all these commands here. Please refer to the introductory chapter about Selenium Commands for more information.
- Once you're done with your test, switch the red "record" button off.
Now you have to decide whether you want to use this test sequence just for manual repetition in Firefox or whether you want to transform it to an automatic web test to be executed in other browsers or during the automated build process.
Save "Selenese" for manual repetition
If you just want to record tests to manually replay them later then you press Ctrl+S in the Selenium Sidebar or you go to "File->Save Test Case".
Save the file and that's it.
Later you can open and replay the test any time you like.
Transform "Senelese" to PHP code
Extracting Selenese from the Selenium IDE
If you want to integrate your web test into our automated test suite or execute your test on other browsers than Firefox then:
- Go to "Options->Format->PHP – Selenium RC" in the Selenium IDE side bar.
- Copy the test code (only the test method) to the clipboard
Create a test case that extends PkpWebTest
(PkpWebTest has not yet been committed to the CVS so this cannot yet be actually done.)
- write a test class that extends PkpWebTest
- copy the test code into the method
- correct the following manually:
- use assertTitleEquals(), assertLocationEquals(), etc. rather than assertEquals(..., $this->getTitle() / getLocation())
- use waitForLocation() when you use redirects
- if you used the waitForLocation command in Selenium IDE then replace the generated for loop with a call to waitForLocation()
- use ...AndWait() rather than waitForPageToLoad()
Now you can execute the test in the same way you execute any other Unit Tests.

Beyonce's 'Beyonce' Lands at No. 1, Sets New Records in the Process
Beyonce really doesn't need Target to sell her fifth album, the self-titled 'Beyonce.' The singer did a pretty bang up job shifting 617,000 copies in less than a week, without their help and with no advance notice or press. The album easily debuted in the No. 1 slot and it set a few records in the process.
Bey is the first woman to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 with her first five albums, according to the trade. All of her prior solo albums -- 'Dangerously In Love' (2003)'; 'B'Day'; (2006); 'I Am... Sasha Fierce" (2008)'; and '4' (2011) -- debuted in the top spot.
Only rapper DMX and folk act Kingston Trio have seen their first five albums debut at No. 1. Go Bey, representin' the ladies on da chartz!
Bey's No. 1 is a much bigger story, though, as she did it with a much shorter sales window. Albums are released on Tuesdays and tracked through Sunday. She released hers on Friday, Dec. 13, while we were sleeping. It was sold exclusively via the iTunes store through at least Dec. 18. The physical CD will hit retail soon, as well, as copies were being manufactured.
The 617,000 tally is a personal best for Bey. 'B'Day' had a first week frame of 541,000 copies and that was her highest...until now. It's also the highest sales week for a female artist in 2013 and the fourth highest sales week of the year.
Queen Bey also set records for iTunes. It was the largest sales week for an album in the U.S. iTunes store and was the fastest global seller, with 828,773 copies sold worldwide through Dec. 15. It was also the fastest selling iTunes album...ever.
Looks like Bey's little experiment worked. It was a power move – she was in the position to do so, so she did it. Hats off for recognizing her status as an artist.
Let's see if other acts follow suit, er, skirt, since it was a woman who changed the rules.

HENDERSON, Nev. — In 2009, Samantha Geimer was watching the daytime talk show "The View" from her then-home in Hawaii when the panel took up the topic of her encounter at age 13 with director Roman Polanski. Polanski had just been arrested in Switzerland, more than three decades after the day in 1977 that changed both their lives.
"It wasn't rape-rape," co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, setting off a firestorm of criticism. In fact, it was "rape-rape" by nearly any definition except the charge to which Polanski pleaded guilty (unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor) — the underage Geimer was drugged and verbally resistant, according to court records.
But after years of hearing other people's theories about that day, she was amused, more than anything, by Goldberg's choice of words. "I laughed so hard," Geimer said. "I thought, 'Oh, my God, she did not just say that.' These days, you can't say that. Everyone's gonna be all over you."
Geimer, 50 and a mother of three grown sons, has decided to tell her story herself in a memoir titled "The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski." Her version of events may surprise those expecting a to-hell-and-back-again victim's account. The portions of the book describing the crime are restrained; she recalls that Polanski wore ankle boots and too much cologne, that he was arrogant but not violent. She feels more wounded by what she calls the "victim industry," the lawyers, judge and journalists who she feels sensationalized her case for their own interests.
"You shouldn't be able to make what happened to me worse so it's more interesting," Geimer said. "You're put upon to feel bad and be a victim so other people can use you as they see fit."
This month near her Nevada home, Geimer was candid but shy, a demeanor shaped perhaps by seeing her underwear held aloft in a courtroom when she was 14. She has long held a nuanced view of what happened to her, preferring not to see herself as a tragic figure but as a woman who lived through an alarmingly common crime that happened to be committed by a famous man.
Blond, green-eyed, with a warm smile, she goes by "Sam." When her husband, Dave, teased that she should lift her shirt during a photo shoot to promote the book, she smirked. "I think you can joke about anything," she said later. "I'm all right. I was not all right the year after it happened ... but I'm OK now. And when you start talking about 1977, there's a lot of things that are funny."
One reason she thinks she is OK today is her nonjudgmental attitude toward sex, fostered in a 1970s, pre-AIDS Southern California. She said she first realized this when she learned about the case of Elizabeth Smart, a Mormon girl who was abducted in 2002 at age 14 and repeatedly raped.
"She was taught that if you're raped, you're devalued as a person, that it's shameful and wrong," Geimer said. "Nobody ever taught me that. Everyone's like, 'Don't you feel guilt or shame or used or dirty? I was like, 'No, I don't.' I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I feel bad?"
It was in March 1977 that the then Samantha Gailey climbed into Polanski's rented Mercedes for what she and her mother thought would be a magazine photo shoot. Her mother, an actress, had met Polanski at a party.
"We thought, 'Man, I'm gonna be famous now,'" Geimer said. "We'll get me in Vogue Paris and then maybe I'll get a good part. One step and you're on your way. That's what we thought it was, a chance, my big shot."
Instead, Polanski drove her to his friend Jack Nicholson's Hollywood Hills home, gave her Champagne and a piece of Quaalude and, after learning that she was not on birth control, anally raped her, according to court records.
Geimer, who worked with an uncredited co-author, describes how she emotionally departed the scene during the encounter, silently wishing for Polanski to stop talking. "He holds my arms at my sides and kisses me," she writes. "And I say, 'No, come on,' but between the pill and the champagne it's like my own voice is very far away." Later that night, after Geimer's sister overheard her talking to an ex-boyfriend about what had happened, Geimer's mother called the police.
Geimer said she doesn't remember most of the next year of her life, which involved retelling the story countless times for doctors, police officers, attorneys and a grand jury. In writing that section of the book, she relied heavily on the recollections of her lawyer, Lawrence Silver, family, friends and her diaries.
The conduct of Judge Laurence Rittenband, now deceased, has long been controversial. Polanski, who in a deal pleaded guilty to only one of the six counts he was charged with, spent 42 days at Chino State Prison. When the judge backed out of a sentencing deal that he and the attorneys had agreed upon, the director fled the country.
Since then, he has lived mostly in France, avoiding countries that might extradite him. He has married and had two children and has directed 12 additional feature films, including the Oscar-winning "The Pianist." He has complained about his treatment, as recently as this month in Vanity Fair where he called the legal case "a nightmare."
Geimer's teen years were a series of boyfriends and casual drug use. At age 18, she got pregnant, married and quit partying. The marriage didn't last, but the impulse to clean up her life did. She ran a home day-care center and went to legal secretary school.
In 1988, a European magazine published pictures of her driving, going to work and kissing Dave, then her boyfriend. To escape the intrusions, she and Dave moved to Kauai, where her mother lived.
"Hawaii is a great place to be when you have something weird like this in your life," she said. "You would be really hard-pressed to find someone who knows who Roman Polanski is. It was nice to have that ocean barrier and be around a bunch of people who couldn't care less."
In 1988, she filed a civil suit against Polanski, alleging sexual assault; it ultimately was settled for a six-figure sum. It took years to collect on but when she finally got the money, Geimer said, it helped with the raising of her three children, since her work as a secretary and Dave's as a property manager were not very lucrative.
Over the years, Geimer has often defended Polanski's right to move on with his life. When he was nominated for an Oscar for "The Pianist," she wrote an op-ed piece for The Times arguing that his movie should be judged on its merits. She also participated in Marina Zenovich's 2008 documentary, "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," which highlighted the legal peculiarities in the case and the way the judge courted publicity, often asking reporters how they thought he should rule, for maximum public-relations benefit.
"I wish somebody would step up and say, 'Time served, case dismissed' and investigate the misconduct," she said.
After watching the documentary, Polanski wrote Geimer a letter, which appears in the book. "I wanted you to know how sorry I am for having so affected your life," he wrote.
Then in 2009, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office arranged for the director to be arrested as he arrived at the Zurich Film Festival. Geimer saw the arrest as politically motivated and a continuation of the legal maneuvering that had caused Polanski to flee in the first place. The Swiss later released him.
At the time, more than 100 artists and entertainers signed a petition calling for Polanski's release. The crime pundits, meanwhile, focused on Geimer; legal commentator Nancy Grace called her a "weak victim" and talk show host Phil McGraw said she had "victim's guilt." Their chief complaint seemed to be that Geimer was not angry enough at Polanski.
"I don't like it when people try to sensationalize what happened for their TV shows and talk about it with words like 'gruesome' or 'horrific,'" Geimer said. "How can you make a living doing that to other people?"
Writing the book, Geimer said, was a way to reclaim her own story. Most of it is about the Polanski case and Geimer's perspective on how she and others at the center of highly public crimes are exploited. She will be making talk show appearances and speaking at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills this month.
"I'm personally tired of everybody telling lies about me and about what happened," she said. "So now I'm saying my truth.... It's interesting to be able to do it on my own terms. My whole life has been reacting to what's happening to me. This is a different thing for me, to just be trying to tell the story."

Earlier Libraries & Campus Growth
When Wesleyan opened in 1831, the library was housed in one of the public rooms in the Lyceum, now known as South College. Soon after the Civil War the institution began its expansion to the south with a separate library building. Funding was guaranteed by Isaac Rich, a Boston fish merchant and longtime trustee, provided that alumni raised an endowment for the purchase of books.
President Joseph Cummings himself designed a light and airy new library, in the then popular alcove style, and superintended its construction. Dedicated in 1868, Rich Hall -- described in the student newspaper as an "elegant edifice" and "noble structure" -- cost $40,000, contained 18,000 volumes, and served a student body of 148. The faculty, including President Cummings, numbered seven.
In 1871 two buildings flanking Rich Hall were dedicated. Memorial Chapel commemorated the heroism and patriotism of alumni and students who died in the Civil War, and the Orange Judd Hall of Natural Science gave impetus to the University's tradition of eminence in scientific research. Construction of these two buildings completed the "Brownstone Row" that remains the University's architectural and administrative focal point. The brownstone quarried in Portland, just across the Connecticut River, not only supplied local markets but was also shipped to New York, Boston, and San Francisco during the second half of the 19th century.
By the early 20th century Rich Hall's capacity of 80,000 volumes was rapidly proving inadequate. A new library was one of several urgent building needs addressed by Henry Bacon, a New York architect engaged by the Trustees in late 1912. His 1913 general plan for the harmonious development of the campus called for a large quadrangle west of Brownstone Row, including a library on the present site of Olin and ten other "future buildings."
The choice of Henry Bacon as Wesleyan's advisory architect was a fortunate one. Earlier that year Bacon -- whose first Middletown design had been the Eclectic fraternity house on High Street (1907) -- was commissioned to design the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Bacon's eleven years of work for the Trustees had a significant effect on the look of the campus. Existing buildings were improved, and in 1916 two Bacon-designed brownstone buildings were completed: the Van Vleck Observatory and the dormitory later named Clark Hall. Bacon also designed a brownstone chapter house for Skull and Serpent, completed in 1914.
The 1928 library
Preliminary sketches for the new Wesleyan library were made by Henry Bacon in January 1923, less than a year after the dedication of his Lincoln Memorial. He envisioned it as a T-shaped building of traditional brownstone placed between the 1916 dormitory and a proposed new dormitory.
After Bacon died in 1924, at the age of 56 and at the height of his career, his ideas for Wesleyan's library were turned over to his first employers, the influential New York architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White. Because the local brownstone quarries formerly used for campus construction were exhausted or closed by 1925, the library's exterior was to be finished instead in the firm's typical "Harvard" red brick, laid in Flemish bond.
The classically symmetrical structure of Olin was completed in the winter of 1927 and dedicated the following May. The central feature of its 163-foot wide facade is the marble portico of six Ionic columns surmounted by a pediment and capped by a balustrade. Marble, exterior and interior, amounted for 20% of the final construction cost of $727,000.
Three other McKim, Mead & White buildings at Wesleyan were completed within a year of Olin's dedication. Olin and the Harriman Dormitory to its east were balanced by Hall Laboratory of Chemistry (demolished in 1968) and the adjacent Shanklin Laboratory of Biology across the street. In 1929 the city street which had been immediately in front of Olin was relocated to the south, permitting the installation of a spacious lawn. By 1930 Rich Hall, the former library, had been remodeled as a theater by the class of 1892.
When Olin was dedicated, the library's 160,000 volumes served a student body of 600 men and a faculty of 58. Recognizing the probable need for future expansion, the architects designed a north wall that could be easily removed and left its facade, facing Andrus Field, unadorned.
In 1938, at a cost of $200,000, the book stacks were extended 40 feet to the north, with a more elaborate facade. A connector to Harriman Hall, including a second reference room, was added in 1956 when the dormitory was remodeled as the Public Affairs Center. In succeeding decades a number of internal rearrangements accommodated growing collections and changing functions.
1980s Expansion & Renovation
By 1980 --with undergraduate enrollment at 2500-- it was imperative that library space planning begin once again. Architects Perry, Dean, Rogers & Partners of Boston were chosen to design the badly needed renovation and addition. A large planning committee debated expansion alternatives in the light of library needs, site constraints, and budget limitations.
Eventually the decision was reached to complement the McKim, Mead & White design rather than to compete with it, and the architectural challenge was resolved by designing a U-shaped addition to be wrapped around the 1938 stack extension. Construction for this $9.8 million project began in 1983, and Olin Memorial Library was formally re-dedicated at a university convocation in September 1986.
This addition of 46,000 square feet nearly doubled Olin's existing space. The old building itself was remodeled for improved efficiency. Total shelf capacity was increased by a third to 800,000 volumes, and seating increased from 200 to 620 places (including 100 individual study carrels for honors students).
The arched windows of the 1938 north wall, now serving as an interior wall, are echoed by the larger arched windows of the expansion's outside wall. Olin Library's new curving north facade serves as a dignified and pleasing backdrop to Denison Terrace, the site of Commencement ceremonies.
Restored was the original 1928 "monumentalism" evidenced by the imposing south facade with its steps and portico and, inside, by the memorial lobby, the high-ceilinged main reading room, and the wide staircase. Together with the new reference center on the north side, all give architectural expression to Wesleyan's regard for its library as representing the power of knowledge and learning.

Archaeologists may have found the remains of the plain yet enchanting woman Leonardo Da Vinci painted back in the early 1500's.
Discovery News reports that archaeologists found the complete skeleton of Lisa Gherardini, the woman thought to be Da Vinci's inspiration for the Mona Lisa, underneath the floor of an abandoned nunnery in Florence, Italy.
"The bones were found beneath the remains of an altar in the church of the now derelict Convent of St. Orsola," Discovery News reports.
The search for Mona Lisa's bones started a year ago, in an attempt to reconstruct her face and match it to the painting in the Louvre Museum in Paris, according to Reuters.
The Huffington Post reports that the bones will be examined at the Department for the Conservation of Cultural Property.
The Telegraph reports Gherardini came from a middle class old aristocratic family and as a teenager married Francesco del Giocondo, a cloth and silk merchant. They had five children together.
The most intimate details of the woman behind the Mona Lisa has been speculated over the years from her famous smile to the sound of her voice.

Space station and space flight gravity influence immune system development
New research findings recently published in The FASEB Journal, show that immune system development is affected by gravity changes, as reported by researchers from the University of Lorraine and University of Luxembourg. Astronauts are exposed to stresses, during launch and landing, which disrupts their body's natural defenses against infection. Changes to the immune system need to be investigated before astronauts undergo longer space missions.
Researchers looked at how antibody production is affected when animal development occurs onboard a space station and which part of space travel has the greatest impact on antibodies, which are the proteins that the immune system uses to protect us from diseases. To do this, they sent Iberian ribbed newt, Pleurodeles waltl, embryos to the International Space Station before the newt embryos started to develop IgM antibody, which is also found in humans and is the largest antibody that circulates in blood.
Upon landing, they were compared with embryos grown on Earth. Antibody mRNAs in space and earth newts were different. The IgM antibody was doubled at landing. Findings show that gravity changes during development affect antibodies and the regeneration of white blood cells, which are important in defending the body against infectious diseases. Spaceflight did not affect newt development nor did it cause inflammation.
Scientists believe that these changes could also occur in humans, and require further experimentation to see how gravity can influence the immune system and white blood cell function, which play a role in many human diseases including cancer and diabetes.

Daylight Saving Time 2013: 3 Things You Didn't Know
(NEW YORK) -- Daylight saving time started at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning and will run through Nov. 3. So while you lost an hour during the switch, you gained an extra hour of daylight. Here are three things you might not know about daylight saving time:
Daylight Saving Time Was Conceived as a Way to Save Energy
In the U.S., daylight saving time was first used during World War I to conserve resources. It was reinstated again during World War II until Sept. 1945. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 created a standardized system to observe daylight saving time.
The Department of Energy studied the energy savings in 2008. They found that during daylight saving time, U.S. electricity use decreased by 0.5 percent per day, which added up to 1.3 billion kilowatt-hours, enough to power about 122,000 average U.S. homes for a year.
Daylight Saving Time Begins in March and Ends in November
From World War II until recently, the seven-month period of daylight saving time in the U.S. ran from April until mid-October.
But in 2007, Congress adjusted daylight saving time to begin three weeks earlier and end one week later, a move they hoped would help save energy. At the time, they pointed to the fact that longer daylight in the evening hours reduced the need to turn on lights in homes at night.
Daylight Saving Time Helps Prevent Traffic Injuries and Reduces Crime
The extra hour of daylight has been credited for preventing traffic injuries and reducing crime as "people travel to and from school and work and complete errands during the daylight," and "more people are out conducting their affairs during the daylight rather than at night, when more crime occurs," according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

We didn't call the photo of the NYPD searching a sliver Lamborghini Murciélago "racial profiling" because we don't know for sure what's going on in the photo.
To give the NYPD a little credit, it turns out that Puerto Rico's biggest drug trafficker, Angel Ayala-Vazquez, was driving around in a silver Lamborghini Murciélago purchased for him by National's pitcher Livan Hernandez.
Since that car was seized by the bank and sold off at auction it's possible the car is the same one (although unlikely), but none of that would indicate the owner is in any way associated with the drug trade. Just unlucky.
Maybe if you're a wealthy Puerto Rican businessman you should just buy a Ferrari.
Hat tip to Taylor!

Master replicas contain the master copy of the data and centralize all modifications before propagating updates to all other replicas. A master records all changes, checks the status of its consumers, and sends updates to them when necessary. In multimaster replication, master replicas also receive updates from other masters.
Configuring a master server consists of defining the suffix that contains the master replica, enabling the master replica, and configuring it for advanced replication, if necessary.
The following sections explain how to configure one master server. Repeat all procedures on each server that will contain a master replicated suffix.
Choose or create a suffix on the master server that will contain the entries that you want to replicate.
For instructions, see to Creating Suffixes.
To ensure correct multimaster configuration and initialization, only load one of the masters with the data. Any data on other replicated suffixes will be overwritten.
When you enable replication on a master, you must assign a replication ID. The replication ID is used to distinguish the owner of update statements and to resolve conflicts that might occur with multimaster replication. Therefore, the replication ID must be unique for all master replicas of this suffix. Once set, the replication ID must not be changed.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Enable the master replicated suffix.
$ dsconf enable-repl -h host -p port -d ReplicaID master suffix-DN
where ReplicaID is an integer between 1 and 65534.
For example, to create a master replicated suffix with replica ID 1, use this command:
$ dsconf enable-repl -h host1 -p 1389 -d 1 master dc=example,dc=com
For advanced master configuration, you might want to modify the change log settings.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: Building a Planned Community
When Parliament chartered the colony of Georgia in 1732, Englishmen of all classes rallied to the idea of a new stronghold that would also serve as a utopia, or ideal society, in the American wilderness. The first shipload of 114 persons left England under the leadership of one of the colonys trustees, Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe (1696-1785). Reaching Georgia in 1733, this first group of settlers established a town on the Savannah River that they named Savannah. As settlement was not the only purpose in founding Georgia, Oglethorpe sailed down the coast in 1734 to look for strategic points to fortify against the Spanish. He found a likely site on a sea island just below the mouth of the Altamaha River. This was St. Simons, an island with thick forests, good water, and a fertile upland. He returned to England and recruited a group of settlers to accompany him back to St. Simons. On reaching the island in 1736, Oglethorpe and his settlers laid out a military fort and town, both named Frederica in honor of Frederick, Prince of Wales, King George IIs son.
The colonists first raised an earthen work designed according to the ideas of the 17th-century French military engineer Marshal Sebastien Le Prestrede. Over the next few years Oglethorpe and the colonists transformed this work into a formidable fort and its nearby town into a defensive community. The fort was manned by the settlers who constructed it until 1738, when Oglethorpe brought in a regiment from England. Frederica is protected, said a visitor in 1743, "by a pretty strong Fort of Tappy [sic] [tabby is a construction material like concrete made of oyster shells, lime, sand, and water], which has several 18-pounders mounted on a Ravelin [a triangular embankment that projects out from the main ditch of a fort so it will be closest to the enemy] in its Front, and commands the River both upwards and downwards; and is surrounded by a quadrangular Rampart [an elevated fortification], with 4 bastions [the projecting part of a rampart] of Earth well stockaded and turfed, and a pallisadoed [a wall of cedar posts] Ditch."1
Oglethorpe located the town adjacent to the fort on a large Indian cornfield. He staked out 84 lots, most of them measuring 60 by 90 feet. The main thoroughfare, which divided the town into two wards, was Broad Street. The street was 75 feet wide, shaded by orange trees, and ran from the fort to the town gates. Each family received a lot in town for building a house, one acre for a garden just outside the town, and 50 acres in the country to grow crops. The first houses were palmetto huts woven by a Brazilian that Oglethorpe brought to the colony for that purpose. Frances Moore, the towns first recorder, wrote that the palmetto huts were about 20 by 14 feet and that when viewed from a distance, the town looked like a tent city. Within a year those temporary houses gave way to substantial houses built of wood, tabby, and brick in the Georgian style popular at the time.
By 1739 the town was enclosed with a palisade, or wall of cedar posts 12 inches thick and set upright. The entrance to the enclosure was through two gates, one known as the land portal and the other as the water portal. The wall around the town gave a sense of security to the inhabitants, who knew they lived in constant danger. A moat, or ditch, was dug at the foot of the wall, and in case of attack a sluice gate could be opened to allow water from the river to enter.
The first colonists of St. Simons Island had been selected by Oglethorpe and the other trustees for their ability to contribute to Fredericas growth and prosperity. They included 44 men (mostly craftsmen) and 72 women and children.
Before these colonists left England, they signed Articles of Agreement promising to perform the duties for which they had been selected. They included a blacksmith, a wheelwright, and a public baker whom Oglethorpe brought over as an indentured servant. Others chosen to live in the new community were magistrates, constables, and tithingmen (those who collected monies due to the church), as well as a doctor, midwife, hatter, tailor, dyer, weaver, tanner, shoemaker, cordwainer, saddler, sawyer, woodcutter, carpenter, coachmaker, bricklayer, pilot, surveyor, accountant, tallow candler, cooper, locksmith, miller, and brewer (colonists were issued beer, but rum and other strong drinks were forbidden by the trustees as inappropriate for an ideal colony).
Throughout the 1730s the trustees made sure the people had a minister, whose salary came from the English Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. First, Charles Wesley preached at Frederica, followed by his more famous brother John. These two brothers later founded Methodism. Another famous preacher, George Whitefield, established an orphanage in Savannah and often came to conduct services at Frederica. A magnetic speaker who figured prominently in the 18th-century religious revival known as the Great Awakening, Whitefield often preached outdoors because he drew large crowds to hear his sermons.
With the exception of lacking a church spire, Frederica in the 1740s might have passed for a village in the English midlands. Tradespeople and artisans prospered. Farmers successfully grew crops in the surrounding fields, doing the work themselves because slavery was forbidden in the colony of Georgia. Most families supplemented their diet with the abundant game of the region and with fish and shellfish from the river and the ocean. When increasing numbers of soldiers were brought in to protect against Spanish invasion, however, the character of the town changed. It became a supply center for the fort rather than the self-sustaining fortified town that Oglethorpe had planned.
Today we associate planned communities with models growing out of the imagination of architects, designers, and urban planners who are looking toward the future. Oglethorpe also designed for the future. If not a utopia, Frederica was a well-planned community and a reflection of Oglethorpes foresight and careful design.
Questions for Reading 1
1. Why did Oglethorpe continue to sail down the coast after founding Savannah? Why did he return to England?
2. What was the first task facing the settlers upon their arrival at St. Simons Island? What is an earthen work?
3. Where was the town located in regard to the fort? Why do you think that location was chosen?
4. What jobs were represented among the early settlers? Can you think of any other kinds of people who would have been needed to create a successful town? Try to define unfamiliar 18th-century occupations.
5. Why do you think Georgia's trustees considered it important for the new residents to have a minister?
