Functional Web Services Testing Made Easy with SoapUI - Part 1
Before you make all your web services available to the public, however, you need to make sure they work. The only way to do this is by writing functional tests for your web services.
So much for the theory. I have seen very few projects that actually spend any time testing the web services they expose. In most cases, these web services are tested as part of the total system, using whatever user interface is provided. I myself was guilty of doing this before I discovered SoapUI.
From the day I discovered SoapUI almost 4 years back, however nothing stops me from writing functional tests for these web services. SoapUI makes it almost tempting to write tests using their GUI. You can create new test suites, add test cases, and add asserts to your test cases. This tool is easy to use; you don't have to be a Java developer to write functional tests.
The tests you write in SoapUI are very manageable. I constantly hear developers saying, I have no clue what this test does; I didn't write it.Tests need to be maintained just as your code does. Once you download and install SoapUI, you can have functional tests up and running in minutes. Can you write the same test in minutes without SoapUI? No way.
Developers too frequently write tests with no assert statements. Why even bother writing a test without asserts? With SoapUI you can easily add many types of assertions. You can add assert statements with the click of a button. If the ones within SoapUI aren't sufficient for your requirements, I am going to show you how to use Groovy within SoapUI, which will make your testing even easier.
OK. You write you tests using SoapUI, add some asserts, and actually run them occasionally. This is better than nothing, but still largely pointless. Tests should be integrated with your build and should be able to be run with one click. Yes, I confess, I am the laziest developer you will ever see. Why bother doing the same thing over and over again when we can do the same thing with the click of a button?
If you have automated your builds and they are running as part of your Continuous Integration, of course, there even isn't a single click to worry about (now that's lazy!). SoapUI comes in handy here as well. You can run the test suites and all the test cases you created within it and above all you can fail the build just like you would when any other unit test fails. Cool, isn't it? I'm excited, are you?
OK. Things are better. Now you have your tests, you have some groovy scripts, and it's all integrated with CI. What use are your tests without reports? SoapUI comes to our rescue here as well. You can generate JUnit reports.
Let's see how we can accomplish all this. In this article I am going to cover Functional Web Services testing using SoapUI, but don't worry, there will be more articles on SoapUI and Groovy as well as on SoapUI and Continuous Integration in the coming weeks.

Hi meera I found the way to add our API with SoapUI.
Now I want to know how to add multiple Xpath match assertion in a single click? Because SoapUI allows us to add assertion one by one, if we need to compare 100's of parameters from actual and expected its very tedious.

First, great site!
SoapUI is an awesome tool. The GUI works great. But I'm not very good with Java and I'm having trouble executing test cases from the command line.
I do:
$> testrunner.sh -e <hostname> -r <name-project.xml> -c "Testcase"
After a long wait, I get:
= SOAPUI_HOME = /home/todd/downloads/soapui-3.0.1
soapUI 3.0.1 TestCase Runner
Configuring log4j from [/home/todd/eviware/soapUI-3.0.1/bin/soapui-log4j.xml]

Hi Meera,
I have created around 93 REST requests under 6 Test Suites. When I run the Test suites, all the test cases are pointed to the same method name. So all the cases are failed since there is a mismatch between the assertions and the method.
How should i be able to set the method name for all the test cases individually.
Thanks and Regards,

I can see that SOAP UI provides a way of doing your funtional quality testing. But it is a very cumbersome/tedius process when you have to make several hundreds of assertions for the data that is being returned in your response for a given test case. Not to mention manually enterring the XPATH Expressions ! And if you have several test suites each of which have several test cases and where the scenario happens to be that you are returning data that can cross reference one or more test suites then the process of asserting each xml element containing data is nightmarish ! Hope you get the picture that I'm talking about. I mean its great that you make a few assertions click some buttons and viola Soap UI handles it for you. But when we start talking about several hundreds of asserts for a test step soap request, then its not a happy camper situation.
My question is, and I am not sure if this is at all possible in Soap UI or for that matter any other FQT tool.
However is is possible to assert strictly at the xml entity level only without having to boil down to each element within a given xml entity. E.g. my response contains 3 entities i.e. House, Car, Boat each entity have 100 elements. Instead of asserting each element within those entities. Is is possible to declare assertion at the top most level of each entity and the rest can be handled by the tool?

Testing is fundamental in all development processes, not just for web services, but for product creation in general. I feel it's also integral to the success of whatever your trying to create, assuming all other bits and pieces have been put together. With that said, I found what you had to say coupled with using SoapUI very useful.

Electronic Version of
A Course in Miracles
A Sophisticated Search Program for
A Course in Miracles Students
[Click here to download this page as a pdf]
What is the Electronic Version of A Course in Miracles (EACIM)?
The Electronic Version of A Course in Miracles combines A Course in Miracles: Text, Workbook for Students and Manual for Teachers and Clarification of Terms, plus the Supplements to A Course in Miracles: Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice and Song of Prayer with a powerful search engine that allows users to search across the Course to perform complex searches, to apply highlighters, add notes and to copy, paste and print selected areas.
The Preface from A Course in Miracles is included, but it is not searchable. This means that information within the Preface is ignored when a search across the Course is executed.
What can I do with it?
How would you use this program? The obvious way to use it would be to answer the question, Where in the Course does it say ...? You probably have many phrases from the Course in your mind, but do not remember where they occur. By using the search program, you do not have to spend hours leafing through the book trying to find the reference so that you can include it in the book or article you are writing, or in your next class. You can copy the text from the book and paste it into your word processing program. If you are following a theme in the Course, you can search across the entire Course and Supplements, find references that fit your theme, then narrow your search by adding more search words to your query.
All the text in the three books: Text, Workbook for Students and Manual for Teachers, Clarification of Terms and the Supplements: Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice and Song of Prayer is fully indexed and allows you to search across the Course to find the information you need.
As is done in the print version, the text within the Course is referenced by Book; Section; Subsection: Chapter/Lesson: Paragraph (e.g. T-13.III.5 references Text Chapter 13, Section III, paragraph 5) as in the printed Combined Volume, Third Edition of A Course in Miracles.
You can find what you are looking for in the Course in a variety of ways. The most effective way is by performing a query. You can query for one word or a combination of words. You can use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) and other advanced searching techniques (described below).
Another way of accessing information is by using the Table of Contents (TOC). The TOC, the same as within the printed book, allows you to get an overall view of the Course. You can expand or collapse the headings as necessary to see as much or as little of the contents as you wish. Once you see the topic or heading you want, just click to go to it immediately.
EACIM allows you to annotate the Course by adding notes, highlighters, and bookmarks.
To prevent you from inadvertently corrupting content of the Course you are not permitted to make any changes to the text.
The Universally Used Numbering System
All chapters, sections, sub-sections, paragraphs and sentences of the print version of the Third Edition of A Course in Miracles are numbered. This numbering system is invaluable as it provides a standard method, used by thousands of students and teachers worldwide, to reference passages in the Course. If you are writing a book or article you would want to include references based on this numbering system, used universally by students of the Course, in all your quotes from the Course.
Unnumbered Version of the Course
An unnumbered version of the Course in included with the Electronic Version of A Course in Miracles for those who want to read the Course without numbers. This version cannot be searched.
Finding information in the Course
EACIM is built around a powerful, robust search engine that allows for a variety of wildcards and operators, natural language parsing, fast phrase and proximity searching, and a ranked hit list. When you are looking for answers within A Course in Miracles your answers are available within seconds, almost as fast as you can ask for them.
Begin Your Search
When you open the Electronic Version of A Course in Miracles you will have three panes displayed on your screen. To the right you will see the Course, on the left the Table of Contents is displayed, and along the bottom of the screen the hits from the search you have just formed will be displayed. (You can later change the way you want the screen to appear.)
Click within the right pane if you want to search through the Course.
To perform a search you would choose Advanced Query from the Search menu, or simply press F2 (advised) and the Advanced Query dialog appears.
Type the words you wish to search for in the Query For box, separated by a space or the appropriate operator.
You may search by keyword - love
You may search by multiple keywords "love joy fear"
You may search for an exact phrase by enclosing the phrase in quotation marks — "journey without distance"
You may use Boolean operators (and, or, not, exclusive or). For example:
love and forgiveness — will find paragraphs where both words are used
love or forgiveness — will find paragraphs where either word is used
love not forgiveness — will find paragraphs where "love" but not "forgiveness" appears
love xor forgiveness — will find paragraphs where "one or the other but not both" words are found
Wildcard Search
Wildcards allow you to find words using patterns for a set of words (replacing single or multiple characters), to find synonyms or word forms of a word:
Examples of wildcard searches done in EACIM:
Single character "?" (i.e., love?) will search for "loved loves"
Multiple characters "*" (i.e., joy*) will search for "joy joys joyful joyfully joyless joylessness joyous joyously"
Word form "%"
Use the word form wildcard (%) to find forms of a term.
Word forms are defined by the parts of speech— singular, plural, past tense, present tense, future tense, etc.
forgotten% will search for "forgotten forget forgot forgets forgetting"
love% will search for "love loves loved loving"
Synonym "$"
Use the term wildcard ($) to find forms of a term.
forgive$ will search for "forgive forgiven forgives forgiving pardon absolve release condone excuse"
love$ will search for "love loves loved loving commitment liking devotion tenderness warmth kindness regard beloved dear sweet like cherish treasure worship appreciate delight caress kiss pet"
Proximity Search
You may specify how close terms must be to each other. For example: "love fear" /5 will return all occurrences where love and fear are within 5 words of each other in a paragraph
Browse through the Course by using the Table of Contents (TOC)
Using the TOC (on the left side of your screen), you may quickly browse through the Course. Clicking a plus sign next to a heading in the table of contents expands that heading to show books (Text, Workbook, etc.), chapters, lessons, etc. Clicking a minus sign hides the information. When you find a heading that refers to the location that you want to go to, simply click on the heading to go to that location in the document.
Limit the scope of a search to a sub-set of the Course and Supplements
In addition to Book, Chapter, Lesson, etc., when you are working with the Table of Contents, you can select View/Show Check Boxes and boxes will appear next to each item in the TOC. You can use these check boxes to select which book, chapter or section of the Course you would like to limit the scope of your search. For example, if you want to limit a search to the Text book, you would click on the displayed Check Box next to Text to select it, leaving all other boxes unchecked. Then when you do you search (press F2) you must click on the Checked Branches box in the bottom left of the box. This allows you to limit the scope of your search to whatever section of the Course you would like to search through.
Relevancy Search
To cause the results of your search to be displayed according to the relevancy of the occurrence of your search words within paragraphs you would use the Search/Query tool, or simply press F3.
To display the relevancy score given to each hit you would set the Hit List Properties by right/clicking within the Hit List pane. Then highlight Relevance Rank in the right column and then click on ←Add to move it to the left column. Click on Apply and then OK.
How Relevancy is Determined
Folio Views uses four primary methods for determining relevance: local frequency, inverse document frequency, document length comparison, and completeness.
Local Frequency
The more often a query term appears in a record, the more relevant that record is. For example, a record which contains a query term 5 times is more relevant than a record which only contains that word 2 times.
Inverse Document Frequency
Terms that are rare within the context of the entire book are given a higher relevancy ranking. For example, assume the book contains 20,000 paragraphs. If your search includes two terms — love and fear — and if the term love is only found 5 times and the term fear is found 300 times, then paragraphs containing love are given a higher weight when determining relevancy.
Document Length Comparison (Density)
Shorter paragraphs containing an equal number of query terms are more relevant than longer records. Since the terms appear closer together in a shorter record, the chance that the record is relevant to your search is higher.
Paragraphs which contain more of the terms in the query are more relevant than those which contain fewer. For example, if your query contains 4 terms, a record which contains those four terms is more relevant than a record which only contains 3 terms.
Relevancy Ranked Search
Perform a Relevancy Ranked Search to find a specified number of records most relevant to your search topic (rather than all records having anything at all to do with your search topic):
1. Choose Advanced Query from the Search menu or Press F2
2. Type [Rank in the Query for box]
3. Enter the number of items you want ranked, followed by a closing bracket, e.g. [Rank 10]
4. Enter the query you wish to perform, eg. [Rank 10] love fear joyful
5. Choose OK to perform the search
Personalizing the Course
Use the personalization tools to help you remember and find key pieces of information and to annotate the Course when necessary. The personalization tools include Notes, Highlighters, and Bookmarks.
Notes allow you to place comments about a paragraph or section of the Course in the margin of the book. Notes appear as small "sticky note" icons in the left margin (double-clicking a note opens it for reading or editing). New notes may be added to any paragraph in the Course.
Highlighters allow you to mark passages in the Course that you want to remember. Just as you may have used a highlight pen to mark up the print version of the Course, so can you use an electronic highlighter to mark up the electronic version of the Course. Electronic highlighters, however, have several distinct advantages over their paper-based counterparts: they may be named for easy reference, searched to find specific information you have marked, and formatted with any of the standard character attributes available in EACIM (including foreground and background colors, fonts, and effects).
Once created, these notes and highlighters are saved and become part of your electronic book. Once notes and highlighters have been created, you can search through the highlighted text, or through the text you have typed into notes to find a particular highlight or note.
Bookmarks allow you to pinpoint locations in the Course you may want to return to later, just as you would do with the printed book when you turn down a corner of the page. When you create a bookmark you give it a name, and then by simply selecting the bookmark by its name you can "go to" its location within seconds. Because they are unobtrusive, you may have as many bookmarks in the book as you need.
In order to print you must first select the text that you want to print.
You can:
Print selected text of the Course and Supplements
Print the table of contents of the Course and Supplements
Print the hit list
Copy and Paste text from EACIM into your word processing program
You first select the text you want to move into your word processor, then press Ctrl/C to copy the selected text. Then you switch to your word processing program, click where you want to copy the text, and either press Ctrl/V or select Paste from the Edit menu.
Hidden Text
Page numbers of the PRINTED ACIM Text book are hidden within the text. To display or hide these page numbers, select Hidden on the View menu. These numbers (p1, p2, p3, etc.) can be used in a search to find a specific page relating to that of the print book.
When you copy and paste text from EACIM into your word processor only the text is copied. The fact that words are italicized is lost. The hidden characters [ ] are used to indicate that the words they enclose are italicized.
EACIM is available on the PC for all Windows systems. It is available ONLY for Mac systems running OS 9 and earlier operating systems. It does not run on Mac systems running OS X. Click here to purchase the CD on the ACIM.org Online Store.

Of all the professional sports, baseball is the one which is truly made for radio. The top announcers bring the game to you much more vividly than the endless replays and mind-numbing analysis that typifies an ESPN broadcast.
And now, one of the greats, the true voice of the Detroit Tigers, Ernie Harwell, has passed away.
I think he deserves to be remembered.
Harwell is in a select group of radio baseball announcers who become synonymous with the team. They transcend the sport by intuitively weaving the game into the very fabric of the community.
In this modern era of out-sized egos and outrageous behavior, harwell remained a gentle and calming voice. He will be missed.
I grew up listening to cleveland indians baseball games on the front porch of our small home in brook park. My tiny lime green transistor radio was made in Japan. I remember thinking how odd that was. To this day my son and I prefer to listen to Tom Hamilton on the radio while watching the Indians game with the sound off.
Baseball and radio -- an American tradition we should preserve.

Ericsson Labs
Ericsson Labs, managed by the Ericsson Research organization, is the new home of innovative technologies and concepts. We are stepping aside to pull back the curtain and give you a behind-the-scenes peek at the latest and greatest in ongoing research and innovation at Ericsson Research. These could be both proofs of concepts as well as some not-yet-proven ideas along with other preliminary research results that are not fully polished.
Included in each Research Topic is a hands-on area where you can find prototypes and running code. We will continue to provide software and tools for you to try from time to time, but they will have no defined commercial road map and could be pulled off the shelf at any time.
We're as keen as ever to hear your thoughts and opinions about what is happening in the industry as well as our work. Everything on Ericsson Labs is still in the conceptual stage, so when you provide feedback or comment on a particular subject, keep in mind that your comments relate to ideas and concepts rather than products.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, an engineer, a hobbyist or even work in the media, you're sure to find something of interest to you.

Finally, some good injury news for Philadelphia Phillies fans. Starting catcher Carlos Ruiz was pulled from Wednesday's game with back tightness, and there was some worry that the injury might send him to the disabled list. As David Murphy writes:
Ruiz felt a sharp pain shoot from his lower back down through his right leg after flying out to leftfield in the top of the first inning.
Ruiz went and saw a doctor on Thursday, and came away with a happy report - an MRI revealed no damage. Now, Ruiz is still sore, and he is expected to sit out the next few games, but that's an awful lot better than having to sit out the next few weeks. This is just a day-to-day matter, and no more.
With Ruiz taking a little time, the Phillies are expected to call up catcher Dane Sardinha from AAA to provide some emergency insurance.

Workshop Wrap Up
Thanks to those of you who attended the fall Youth Services Workshops! A total of 145 attended the 6 sessions. Each session held a different presentation or tour of the venue, each related to the 2014 STEM SRP theme; here are some highlights:
RAFT (Resource Area For Teachers), Denver
RAFT is an amazing resource for all types of educators. Besides a huge warehouse of really inexpensive items for crafty projects and all types of educational programs (anything from carpet squares for a quarter to solar cells for $4), it is a giant warehouse of ideas as well. Can't get there in person? They have loads of excellent Idea Sheets online for you to print out that align with CO school curriculum standards, most of which use commonly found items, searchable by topic and grade level.
We also had the opportunity to engage in the traveling exhibit Cultivate the Scientist in Every Child from the Hawkins Centers of Learning. Check out the exhibit content online and ponder how this approach to engaging children in exploring their curiosity and science concepts might work in your library. Karen Alfino, leader of STEMGirls, also led the group in a fun, hands-on engineering program to create greeting cards by assembly line (find the activity here!).
Rifle Gap State Park, Rifle
This beautiful state park was a lovely setting for our northwestern session. The warm weather allowed us to have lunch and blow bubbles outside. The park's naturalist presented an excellent program on figuring out characteristics of local animals from their skulls that you might find in a park or elsewhere, such as whether the animal is a predator or serves as prey based on placement and size of eye sockets and snouts.
We learned a tip great for all CO libraries: CO's state parks have a mission to provide outreach programs for free, so contact the state park nearest your library to schedule a naturalist to present programs this summer or anytime.
Wilkinson Public Library and the Pinhead Institute, Telluride
Our western session in Telluride was a bit snowy in the morning but what a beautiful setting! Many thanks to the staff at the lovely Wilkinson Public Library for hosting this session so graciously. We had a great presentation from the Pinhead Institute, a Smithsonian Affiliate and international network of leading scientists that supports many educational outreach programs in the area. Pinhead staff led us in a fun engineering activity in which we created a vehicle with squares of fabric, a balloon, and other easy-to-find items to safely cushion an egg as it drops to the floor in its vehicle.
Pinhead has created 2 types of science kits, called Pinhead Packs, that are available to libraries for sale (a great use of mini-grant funds!). Check out the contents of the Rockin' Rocks and The Science of Snow packs online and contact Pinhead for info on purchases.
Nature and Raptor Center of Pueblo
This is a beautiful nature center that provides unique experiences in education, conservation and recreation. Located right on the Arkansas River, the 34-year-old center includes a wildlife rehabilitation facility that specializes in birds of prey. Each year more than 200 injured and orphaned raptors are admitted to the facility from throughout southeastern Colorado. Our workshop was held in the center's yurt—a first for all of us!
The Raptor Center's staff presented an excellent session on its work and informed us about the fascinating world of owls using Oberon the beautiful barred owl, pictured here, as our patient model. Nature Center staff also led us through 2 fun, hands-on activities, one on riversheds and the other on aquatic macroinvertebrates.
Adams State University, Alamosa
The Nielsen Library at the University was the site of our workshop, with our meeting room fittingly right next to the children's reading room.
We later took a trip across campus to the planetarium, where we received an excellent demonstration of the many programs they offer to students and, through a STEM grant, to the general public—for free! From astronomy to tours of the earth through huge aerial photos to programs for preschoolers, you can find it at this planetarium. And we learned that some libraries can borrow a Starlab—a portable, inflatable planetarium—from their local BOCES, so check out that possibility in your area!
Poudre Learning Center, Greeley
The last workshop was held at another beautiful riverside venue, this one along the Cache la Poudre River. In our workshop room, the center's classroom, we were surrounded by live snakes, frogs, fish, and toads (all securely enclosed, of course). The center offers important environmental education programs for students, educators, and the larger community.
The Center's staff collected water samples from river and gave us the opportunity to examine them for aquatic macroinvertebrates. We all had fun trying to spot, scoop, and identify the small water dwellers using magnifying glasses and microscopes.

Thousands packed the Ben Franklin Parkway on Saturday to watch more than 20 diverse musical acts on three stages.
In its second year, the "Made in America" music festival has only gotten bigger. With acts like Beyonce and Nine Inch Nails, Philadelphia is one of the hottest spots in the country this Labor Day.
Even after a long day, the party was just getting started Saturday night. When FOX 29's Dave Kinchen reported live from the parkway, super-star Beyonce was getting ready to hit the stage.
And Saturday was just day one of the two-day music festival.
On Sunday, Macklemore, Wiz Khalifa and Calvin Harris are all set to take the stage – with industrial music legends "nine inch nails" closing out the concert.
Night fell Saturday on the pulsating rhythms of the Made in America festival with a crowd growing more energized by the hour.
The crowd rocked out to some techno music earlier in the night.
There was something for everyone, including some of the newest rap stars.
And there was the soulful sound of British R&B singer Emile Sande.
Even hip-hop legends Public Enemy brought the classics.
But there was one artist everyone seemed to be looking to see.
There was no doubt Beyonce was set to be the highlight of night one as the headliner.
But not everything went according to plan.
There were some festival-goers leaving as Beyonce performed, Kinchen reported on his Twitter account. Fans were voicing anger on Twitter, saying a video feed of her performance was cut early.
For more information on street closures for the festival, click here.

Senior Carmen Paez became the first Eagle to be named a finalist for the national honor.
"We cannot be any prouder of Carmen for her accomplishments," said head coach Dave Deiros. "She's an integral part of our success. She has been especially effective in our transition to Division I.

The average American dog will visit the veterinarian three times a year. Here are some tips on making your pup's next vet appointment less traumatic for both him … and you!
"Dogs don't like going to see the veterinarian any more than we like going to see the doctor, but there's no avoiding it," says Luciano Aguilar. "Whether it's a routine check-up or because of an illness or injury, your dog will be making occasional trips to the vet's office. Practicing good "vet etiquette" is the best way to ensure that every appointment goes smoothly."
You never know what you're going to run into in a veterinarian's waiting room. It can be perfectly calm and quiet or total chaos. It only takes one unruly dog to upset the other patients and their owners … and you definitely don't want that unruly dog to be your own.
Even if you have an angel of a dog, it's a good idea to keep a leash on him while you're in the vet's office. If you have a small dog that tends to act up around other dogs or cats, place and hold him on your lap.
If you think he'll get too squirmy, bring him into the office in a crate or dog carrier. This will prevent him from seeing everything that's going on around him and will help keep him calm. A crate or carrier isn't really an option for a larger dog, so have a short leash on your dog as you come into the waiting room and then sit him between your legs.
Many vets have muzzles they lend to prevent aggressive dogs from biting other animals or people in the waiting room. If you're concerned, come in and ask at the front desk before bringing your dog into the office. Better to be safe than sorry.
Even the best-behaved dog can act up in the blink of an eye when they're scared or in pain. When you're in with veterinarian, ask if you can assist them by holding your dog or keeping his head still. Of course, your vet may prefer that you not be in the room and ask you to step out during the examination or procedure. Remember, he or she is the professional. So be prepared to comply with what they think is best.
Dogs handle the stress of going to the vet's office in lots of different ways. So be sure to consider your dog's individual disposition and always practice good vet etiquette.

"As a junior and senior at Belmont, I have found Career Services and Tish to be a fantastic resource. With everything from personalized resume and networking advice in one-on-one meetings to all of the great convocations, Career Services has helped me tremendously in focusing on the next step after graduation. Career Services has given me the tools and the confidence I need to approach and access the entertainment job market."
-Mallory Trice, Classical Voice Performance, Entertainment Industry Studies
"Belmont Career Services greatly boosted my chances of receiving a one of a kind internship for the summer. The staff are professional and friendly while knowing exactly what to say and do. I plan on seeing them more in the fall as I search for a job after graduation."
-Jacob Drake, Religious Studies
"Belmont University's Career Services office has helped me on many occasions. The Belmont and Beyond Convocation on interview tips was particularly helpful during my job search, as well as the individual assistance I received while creating my resume. The Career Services office also helped me contact the campus representative for the Walt Disney World College Program, who was very influential in my decision to apply to the program. I have now been accepted as an intern and I can't wait to start my career in the theme park industry! The assistance I received from the staff members in Career Services was very beneficial and I am glad I took advantage of the opportunity to seek their help during my time at Belmont."
-Emilee Murphree, Music Business
"The advisors in the Career Services department are wonderful! After meeting with them I felt very confident sending out my resume and interviewing with big name Nashville companies. Every student should take advantage of the services they offer!"
-Kathryn Burns, Corporate Communication, Public Relations
"I applied for a very specific graduate program that very few people have heard of. I wasn't sure what to expect when arriving for my mock interview with Rachel, but I left amazed. Her questions were very program specific and it was obvious to tell she did her homework. Career Services (Rachel especially) was very helpful in preparing for my interview."
-Mark McFarland, Biology
"When I was looking to make a career transition in 2007, Belmont Career Services was there to help me every step of the way. Their talented team offered resume guidance (tricky, in my circumstances, because I was trying to show that my skills were transferable from one industry to another), contacts with whom to conduct informational interviews, mock interviews, and salary negotiation tips. All of these services were invaluable, especially when coupled with their cheerleading! They were among the first to know when I got my job and I am still most grateful for their support."
-Laura McLeod, Music Business
"Belmont Career Services not only gives students direction on how to actively seek employment, but also helps them identify their strengths and narrow their focus through counseling, personality assessments and mock interviews. When I met with Rachel at career services back in January, she spent over an hour with me going over my resume and cover letter, teaching me how to build my professional presence online and showing me how to find jobs and internships. At that meeting, Rachel encouraged me to apply for an internship position on CareerConnector and I ended up interning with that company during my final semester at Belmont and now work with them as a graduate."
-Emily Arno, English
"Belmont Career Services goes above and beyond their mission. During my senior year, I asked them for help to implement the Call to Serve program that would open up opportunities for students at Belmont to find internships and careers within the government. The Career Services team worked closely by my side to help make the Call to Serve program a reality. I am grateful for the positive experience I had with Career Services and I know they will be available if I ever need assistance in the future!"
-Carlin Larowski, Sociology
"Career Services has been a tremendous help, especially during my Senior year at Belmont. I encourage every student to take advantage of such an amazing resource. Tish was extremely helpful, meeting with me during my last semester to revamp my resume. After graduation, I was a little discouraged after having trouble finding job openings in my desired field of publishing. In mid June, Tish informed me of a position that had just opened up at a prestigious music publisher and I applied on the same day. Ten days later, I was offered my first full-time job in the music business!"
-Daniel Berrios, Music Business, Production
"I went to several appointments with Career Services to clean up my resume and keep it updated in Belmont's Resume Book. With Lori's help, I have found great accounting, investment, and strategic management internships. I have even been contacted out of the blue by a company who saw my resume in Belmont's Resume Book! I am currently interning at that company, and it is exactly the career path that I want to pursue."
-Helen Vandendriessche, Accounting
"Career Services was very beneficial to my undergraduate experience at Belmont. Patricia provided great guidance and equipped me with interview techniques for obtaining an internship, which led to an employment position upon graduation. Career Services is a great resource for students seeking advice and knowledge on internships and career opportunities."
-Ashley Cox, Music Business
"As a recent Belmont grad and Fulbright recipient, I went to Belmont Career Services after having enjoyed two months at home after returning from abroad. Mrs. Jacobs worked with me on my resume and assisted me with my job search. She, along with Belmont Career Services were crucial in my job search. I am now Coordinator of a Supplemental Education Service program that tutors students after school. Belmont Career services was so helpful and I am thankful for their assistance."
-Roxanna Hajjafar, Political Science

The couple, who got engaged in December 2006, will welcome the baby this winter.
Afifi, an entertainment lawyer, proposed to Chalke during a Hawaiian vacation.
"The best is just knowing that 100 percent somebody always has your back and you always have theirs," Chalke told PEOPLE earlier this year about being engaged. "You have a partner, you have a buddy."

Scrubs star Judy Reyes is breezing into her third trimester, telling PEOPLE's Celebrity Baby Blog she is feeling "wonderful" and enjoying a complication-free pregnancy.
"I had a little morning sickness in the first trimester but other than that I'm enjoying it," she says.
Sporting a pair of Pea in the Pod's Secret Fit Belly pants at the launch party for Nicole Richie's new maternity line 'Nicole,' Reyes went on to reveal that her maternal instincts are looking sharp as well! Baby-on-the-way is a girl, which Judy said she suspected all along.
"My twin sister and my younger sister have boys, and they had strong hopes to have boys because we're a family of all girls," she said. "My nieces, who are 20 and 22, are girls. Everyone was praying for boys and I just had a feeling that it was a girl, and it is!"

Aviadmd says: Two major franchises from Bioware were hailed as the successors to the original BG and his sequel. While both NVN and DA are great games they pale in comparison to BG's rich story ,deep gameplay and amazing atmosphere. Best AD&D game PERIOD.
Aviadmd says: Eleven years and two sequels later each and every HoMM fan still plays HEROES 3. New World Computing nailed every single aspect of the game just perfectly making it a very tough act to follow. Very few games aged as well as HoMM3 .
Aviadmd says: In the heydays of RTS of the 90's an unknown developer ,Cavedog Entertainment released what many consider the greatest RTS game ever created. Even with two so called successors you can still see just how much a head of it's time TA really was.

Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Where lies the boundary between normality and banality? How strange is our everyday world when we have a closer look ? When is something so ugly that it suddenly becomes intriguing, fascinating, … even beautiful?
In the land of surrrealism the Twin Peaks reality is never far away. It is with this 'State of Mind' that photographer Lucas Daniels explores the boundaries of everyday banality. In a society where constant stimuli lead to bluntness and boredom, behind every image lurks a world of mystery and wonder.
What to one seems a pernicious outgrowth, to the other it embodies creativity. An image that at one point cries out degeneration, gets a glimmer of hope in a different mood.
In what mood will you view these images ? What stories will you discover? Let it depend on your State of Mind. There is simply no such thing as the real truth. Not even in the banality of everyday life.

Country Sausage & Egg Rolls Recipe
These savory rolls are always a great choice. They're nice enough to serve company and make an excellent on-the-go breakfast, too.
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 1 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 eggs
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 15 sheets phyllo dough, (14 inches x 9 inches)
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, sweet onion, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and remaining pepper; add to skillet. Cook and stir until almost set. Stir in the cheese, green onions and sausage mixture. Remove from the heat.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with melted butter. Layer with four more phyllo sheets, brushing with butter after each layer. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Repeat, making three stacks.
- Cut each stack in half widthwise and in half crosswise, forming four 7-in. x 4-1/2-in. rectangles. Spoon 1/4 cup egg mixture along a long side of each rectangle; roll up.
- Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. With a sharp knife, make four shallow slashes across each roll; brush with butter.
- Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 12 servings.

You know, thirteen books is a lot of books in one series about the same group of people but each book is different and unique; the characters are unique and interact so great together; and the author really captures the feel of the city, making NYC another character.
Cleo Coyle is a husband-wife team who also write another series plus books separately. Included are always fabulous recipes for food, desserts and coffee.
In this story, a young billionaire, Eric, is almost murdered at the Village Blend but Claire saves the day. Unfortunately, his chauffeur is killed. Claire and her crew set off to solve the crime with Eric's help. He hires Claire to create a new coffee called Billionaire Blend, that will be expensive and exclusive. But bombs go off, literally. Eric's former girlfriend's accidental death comes into play. Several people are falsely accused. And Claire ends up drugged and abducted.
This is an exciting cozy mystery. You don't really need to have read all of the books in order to figure out what is going with the characters. The author gives enough back ground information to keep things moving. A great read for a cold wintry evening!!

The American Red Cross has opened a shelter for victims of a fire at a high-rise building in downtown Kansas City.
The shelter opened at 6 p.m. Saturday, and is at 211 W. Armour Blvd. The Red Cross is prepared for up to 50 people.
The high-rise building is at 1103 Grand Blvd. The fire occurred about 8 p.m. Friday.
Fire crews were kept very busy Friday night with two high-rise apartment fires breaking out in less than an hour of each other.
At least three residents in the 60-unit assisted living facility were injured after a blaze broke out on the seventh floor, but everyone is expected to be OK.
One of the residents was taken by ambulance to the hospital for treatment.
Two residents were brought out on stretchers, after the fire broke out at 1224 E. Linwood Blvd. at 7:16 p.m. Friday. They refused treatment.
Fire officials said the building didn't have a sprinkler system.
Chopper5 recorded video of firefighters on the roof of the high-rise facility. Black scorch marks were also on the side of the building.
The Kansas City Fire Chief said they had it under control shortly before 8 p.m.

Remember Me
There has been a change in the lineup for the Delphos Rotary Club's "Music in the Park Series." Dan Heath with the Paradise Band will perform at 6 p.m. Sunday in the Hanser Pavilion in Stadium Park instead of the Berlin Brothers. The band is inspired by the great jazz and pop standards from the 1920's through the mid-seventies. This allows the band great latitude in mood, tempo, style and genre. While the band does "cover" a number of songs, the band also arranges a number of its songs to fit the fine musical abilities of the instrumentalists. The "jazz" aspect of the band comes into play when the vocal goes out and free-wheeling, creative instrumentals take over. The band then is "inspired" by a number of song stylists, song writers and band arrangers like Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Elvis, the Beatles, Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Gus Kahn and Nelson Riddle. Broadway musicals also play a role in the band's song list. The Paradise Band consists of some of the finest musicians in the Fort Wayne area. Food and refreshments will be served beginning at 5:30 p.m. (Delphos Herald file photo)

Pat's Kitchen Patricia Altomare
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — If you have read any of my past Halloween columns, you already know how much I love Halloween. I always had a houseful of children for a spooky party and decorations galore, using the children as an excuse. But I loved the fun of it all; from helping to concoct that year's costume, to setting out that candle-lit pumpkin on the front steps at twilight to welcome all the trick-or-treaters.
One year, our Halloween party was for about 20 12-year-old girls and boys. I received the biggest compliment when they told me I won the prize for the "scariest party ever," because the girls screamed the loudest and were totally scared.
My message here is to have fun with it. If you are grandparents now, you will enjoy making the treats below with children of any age, and you will have a hard time to keep them from eating them. Getting their hands in buttery, gooey popcorn balls is a great thing to a 4-year-old, and you can always make it more festive with some "ghostly" music in the background.
Before you get into the kitchen, here is a fun idea for pumpkin carving:
Cozy, Critter-Filled Pumpkin
If you have boys, they are especially fond of this.
1. Using a marker, draw a circle on the pumplkin for several small holes, about 10 or 12.
2. Have an adult cut out holes. No scraping inside the pumpkin is needed.
3. Fill holes with rubber mice peeking out, and some with tails sticking out. (available at craft and party stores)
4. Listen for screaming neighbors.
The goodies
This spooky snack is a terrific finger-food that children will have fun making with you. Whether for a party or simply for the kids at home, they are as cute as can be and easy enough to make. If you do not have a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, use any round cutter.
Halloween Jiggly Pumpkins
Makes about 14 individual snacks.
2 packages (6 ounces each) orange jello
21/2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold whole milk
1 package (3.4-ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
Candy corn for eyes and black licorice or black gumdrops for candy mouths
Dissolve gelatin in water; set aside for 30 minutes. Whisk milk and pudding mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Quickly pour into gelatin; whisk until well blended. Pour into an oiled 13-x9-x2-inch pan. Chill until set. Cut into circles or use pumpkin cookie cutter, place on serving plate. Just before serving decorate with candy eyes and mouths.
Marshmallow-Popcorn Balls
Makes about 12.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for hands
1 bag (10 ounces) white miniature marshmallows
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
3 quarts popped popcorn
1 cup chocolate candies (such as orange and brown M&Ms),optional
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.
Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add brown sugar and marshmallows; stir until melted and combined. Remove from heat.
Add popcorn, and candies if desired; toss until well mixed.
With buttered hands, shape into 21/2-half inch balls.
Let harden slightly on lined baking sheet.
Note: To turn these popcorn balls into Halloween party gifts, wrap them in cellophane bags and tie them with orange and black ribbons. Or by changing the M&M colors and the ribbon colors, these would be nice for gift giving at Christmas, or for any special time.
Patricia Altomare invites feedback. Email her at email@example.com, or write care of Gloucester Daily Times, 36 Whittemore St., Gloucester, MA 01930.

|When traveling domestically, the company counts 31 dancers, 15 production staff, ten tons of equipment -- extensive for dance -- and three semi-trucks. The total lighting package approximates 400 fixtures, most of which are ETC Source Four.
"Every ellipsoidal and individual par used on the eight electrics, eight boom towers, and dozens of rover units are ETC Dimmer Doubled. This allows us to power all of our electrics with just two ETC Sensor 96 racks. On top of that, we are still capable of controlling the front-of-house units provided by the venue whenever DMX control is not available. By only needing two 96 racks we save vital truck space, while at the same time keeping our power needs low."
Ailey does a different program in every city. In its 44 years, the repertory has created more than 150 works and on any one tour will travel with 15-20 ballets. They perform an ever-changing combination of three or four ballets a night. "Revelations" is the company's signature piece, choreographed in 1960 by founder Alvin Ailey. When people think of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, they often recall the last section of "Revelations," which features a brilliant yellow sun ascending on the backdrop. "When that one image appears -- projected by a 36 degree Source Four spotlight -- there's instant applause."
Chenault Spence, a pioneer in dance lighting and designer of more than 60 ballets in the repertory, has seen lighting tools develop since he began working with Ailey in 1970. "ETC controls have allowed me to design what I can imagine, not merely what is already possible," remarks Spence. Ailey employs an ETC Obsession II console (handling their extensive moving lights as well) and an Obsession II dual-processor system -- among their ETC lighting-control repertoire.
During their annual home season in New York City, the company performs at City Center at 55th St. between 6th and 7th. "They have a very large inventory of ETC products there as well," adds Crawford.
For the 2002-2003 Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performance schedule, background information, and stunning dance video clips, visit www.alvinailey.org.

Fallen soldier is named by MoD
11:00am Friday 11th January 2013 in News
Details of the repatriation of a soldier killed in Afghanistan are expected to be confirmed next week.
The Ministry of Defence yesterday named the fallen soldier as father-of-one Sapper Richard Walker, 23, from Leeds. He was shot in an apparent insider attack by a member of the Afghan National Army on Monday.
The bodies of personnel killed overseas have been repatriated to RAF Brize Norton near Carterton since September 2011.

Thank God this grab of taxpayer money was stopped. I doubt that most people who naively voted for this Measure realized that it would put our sales tax at 10% probably forever! Talk about a regressive tax AND to top it all off the fact that it would go on forever (yes forever if you had bothered to study the measure)! They almost fooled all of us - lets hope that the next time they try it somebody will have the guts to really expose what a mistake it would be to grant a lifetime of tax money to a bunch of STATE bureaucrats.

"said ACTC Chairman Mayor Mark Green. "These numbers show the urgent need to lower the voter approval threshold for special taxes in California.""
Again, Mr Green, your claim of some sort of mandate as justification for changing the rules just doesn't fly. Although I do understand that that is exactly what our Democrat leadership (?) in Sacramento plans on doing. Shame on you!
on Dec 6, 2012 at 5:25 pm
I think what Mark Green really was saying was, "We know that 50% of the local voters are completely uninformed and impressionable, so we want to reduce the threshold to 50% to get any new tax passed. That way we can pass every tax we want."

Local, I think you nailed it! It's idiot politicians like Mark Green (I liked the guy at one point in time)that are sure to eventually destroy the CA economy and provide the impetus for increased efforts from other states that are trying to recruit the CA corporations that are driving our economy.
The more I understand the control unions have over our politicians the less faith I have in our CA govement to get things right.

The Toronto Blue Jays are having a rough time with injuries this month. Brandon Morrow just went on the disabled list and is out "indefinitely".
During Wednesday afternoon's game against the Nationals in Toronto, they might have lost yet another member of their rotation:
Something clearly wrong w/ Kyle Drabek's arm or shoulder as he released that pitch. He's out of the game. Another injured #BlueJays SP.— Steve Berthiaume (@SBerthiaumeESPN) June 13, 2012
The announcers calling the game for SportsNetwork Canada said they thought Drabek had "landed funny". Funny how? Funny ha-ha? OK, I'll stop channeling GoodFellas. Here, judge for yourself:
Drabek hasn't been very good this season, posting a 4.46 ERA, a 1.567 WHIP and leading the American League in walks (45) entering today's action. Some might say the Jays might be better off without Drabek, but I wouldn't, and you never want to see a player go down with an injury.

A truly laduma moment. Photo courtesy colm.mcmullan Officially, South Africa has 11 languages, second only to India, with 22. Many more languages are spoken in the country besides, from Greek to Gujarati and a number of local creoles and pidgins. There are, however, some sayings that are commonly used and understood across our country, despite (or perhaps because of) its polyglot nature. Here's a brief introduction to some South Africanisms adapted from local languages.

The basic question is technical, so the proper way to handle the recuring discussions about it is a FAQ. My suggestion for the FAQ should say "the number of megapixels should be sufficient for the photographer to crop the image and print it in the desired size, less than that is insufficient, more than that is dead weight".
Should the Canon Rumors Forum adopt a corollary to Godwins Law that states that once a participant begins a debate over whether or not more megapixels are good or bad the person who began the debate is automatically declared the loser.
