Lions and Tigers and Earthquakes. OH MY
Yesterday we had not one, but TWO earthquakes. I've lived in Northern California for twenty one years. We moved here in 1990 after the seriously huge 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Loma Prieta was a 6.9 magnitude quake. The first one that hit yesterday was 4.2 and the second was 3.9. They were the biggest I've felt since I've lived here. It was so scary. I can't even imagine how the big one in 1989 must have felt. Holy cow. All is well here though. Nobody got hurt. But facebook blew up with all of us checking in on each other and talking about how frightening the quakes were. Man, what a day. And to top it all off? Yesterday was The Great California Shakeout, which is the day that many Californians take part in an annual earthquake preparedness drill. How freaky is that? Very, if you ask me.
Anyway, I'm celebrating our safety today by looking like a yeti. This faux fur vest is one of my favorite pieces that I never wear. I'm wearing it today with leopard and denim and studded cowboy boots. That's right. The wackiest outfit but I absolutely love it. I think it's going to be my new "go to" look when having survived two earthquakes the day before.
Happy Friday, y'all!

Oh man, Tracy, I would be freaked out too if I felt two earthquakes in that short span of time. I had a really horrible, traumatic experience with earthquakes when I was a kid, so even just a little shock really scares me.

I love this outfit -- but that may be a bad thing. You know how quirky my taste runs!
In an article on the earthquake, I read that there's a 99% chance of another major one during the next thirty years. Why do you live there? Are you scared? I'm worried, simply about you.

You are a hot yeti. Just sayin'.
I am so glad to hear that everyone is okay after the earthquakes. We had one here a few years ago, and it was just ... eh. I kept texting right through it as I sat in my car, so it wasn't that bad --- or I'm that insane and addicted to my phone. Either one.

ROME — Cardinal Francis E. George of Chicago, currently in Rome for a series of meetings with Vatican officials, spoke yesterday with CNS about the church's ongoing dispute with the Obama administration over the HHS contraception mandate.
The immediate past president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops had some insightful observations about what is at stake, and how the dispute could play out in the courts and the political arena.

A donation of renewed life
The donation of organs, tissues or eyes can transform the lives of those who receive them, according to Nichole Beauford, community development specialist with Iowa Donor Network, who spoke at Van Diest Medical Center on Thursday.
Beauford discussed how the donation process works, how people can donate, and common misconceptions about organ donation.
In Iowa, 70 percent of adults agree to become organ donors. That number is one of the highest in the nation. However, Beuford said that 603 Iowans are currently waiting for a life-saving transplant, a number that rises to 117,672 when all of the United States is considered.
"It is our vision that organ and tissue donation is the right decision, and we hope that one day all Iowans will say yes to donation. That will result in fewer people waiting for a transplant," Beauford said.
Iowa Donor Network is a nonprofit organization, and is the state's only federally designated organ procurement and tissue recovery agency. IDN is one of 58 such organizations in the country. As such, IDN receives referrals from hospitals, emergency services, police and other agencies when a person dies and is registered as an organ donor. IDN is also partnered with the Iowa Lions Eye Bank.
While IDN looks for as many donations as it can, there are very specific deatg circumstances that allow for organs to be donated. All donors are either brain dead or dead by cessation of a heart beat before they are eligible to donate. Life-saving organs that are donated include a heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas or portions of intestines. Other life-enhancing tissue donations include bones, skin, adipose, heart valves, connective tissue, or eye corneas.
Beauford said there are many misconceptions about organ donation. It costs no money to donate organs. Donations can be taken from anyone old or young, although persons age 17 or younger must have a parent or guardian co-signer. Beauford said that fears of having organs taken before death are unfounded, as doctors take additional steps to insure that a donor is dead before their organs are transplanted. She also explained that the waiting list for a transplant is based on medical need, not money or celebrity status.
The Iowa Donor Network can facilitate contact between the family of an organ donor and the recipient of the donation. The network also awards a medal to families of donors.
While saying yes to donation on a driver's license is enough to give legal consent for a transplant, potential donors can also offer their organs for other purposes, including research. Those who are registered donors can change their status for such donations online at iowadonorregistry.org.

Skip to comments.Get ready for the Obamacollapse!
Posted on 02/27/2013 7:40:33 PM PST by struggle
Hey guys, can you feel it?
There's that smell in the air...the acrid stench of desperation.
This Friday marks the first time the Republicans MIGHT ACTUALLY STAND UP TO OBAMA!
Guess what has happened in the last day alone? 1. Bob Woodward has called the Obama Admin's actions "madness" and compared them to Nixon. 2. Bob Woodward was threatened by Glen Sperling, Obama aide. 3. The media is in full a**-cover mode, trying in anyway possible to spin the slam of Woodward, THEIR HERO, as some kind of fluke. 4. @SharylAttkisson is back on the question track with #Benghazi 5. McConnell seems adamant that there will be sequestration, regardless. 6. It's been revealed that ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WERE RELEASED FROM PRISON because of sequestration, before it even happened. Obama threw DHS under the bus, and some no-name got blamed.
Folks, GET HAPPY!
Proverbs 4:19 But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.
Our "representatives"/sarcasm have enabled POSOTUS countless times.
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
They ARE useless.
I think the Nanny state has become so firmly established that an Obama collapse is unlikely.
My tag line is all I have to say.
The Woodard thing has rattled some cages for sure....though I'm not "happy again' yet....
If there is an Obamacollapse, there will [literally] be dancing in the streets. And, oh, how the babies would rejoice, rejoice!
They've also just started to push Hillary in 2016 so maybe this is all just a flash in the pan to introduce a "more moderate" candidate. Although we all know she is just as crazy as Mr. bathhouse.
Not a chance of this ever happening, not now, not ever. Neither Obama, nor any of his minions, will ever be held accountable for anything. They could murder 25 million Americans, just the way they would like to, and they would be cheered on by millions of others. Is that pessimism, or just reality?
This is just Act I. Obama and his organization was counting on the GOP not caving on sequestration. Act II is Obama unleashing the dogs of war on the GOP via social media, LSM, and ads of doom and gloom. You think the '95 budget battle was brutal. Just wait.
They see this as their big chance to annihilate the GOP leading into the 2014 elections. They need the House to continue their attack on freedom.
If they don't get the House in 2014, Obama is finished. They're playing for keeps and I just hope the GOP is prepared for it.
Every American that works for a living got a 2.4% tax increase - A BUDGET REDUCTION - on January 1. If we can deal with it why can't the government?
Could not get through to McConnell's DC office, the lady that answered in KY was not nice and didn't want to hear anything besides "not a career, and stand firm"
you are aware that the GOPe will provide 0failure cover if the MSM fails
after all, they like all consuming power as well.
Isn't this all such a sad, sad situation...
i need cheering up placemark.
Indeed. The Republican leadership just endorsed Mr. Hagel for Sec of DEFENSE (... of all jobs for a man with his attitude problems!)
end of dispatch. The Republican leadership is far, far, far, far, and far from growing any cajones
they show NO sign of even being willing to perform the most basic duties of their jobs
dream on if you wish, but don't hold your breath for the R leaders to grow any anatomical parts
it ain't happening
sorry about that
Don't get your hopes up, Charlie Brown.
Barbara Streisand. They are working on their synchronized ankle-grabbing right now.
Obamacollapse has a nice ring to it!
We've missed a branding opportunity - this should have been called the "Obama Sequester" all along. Alinsky tactics work both ways...
The difference is that Bob Woodward is Lucy and the Obama admin is Charlie Brown.
The infighting has begun.
Now now, don't question your betters. Just shut up and fill out those tax forms.
"There's that smell in the air...the acrid stench of desperation."
Barry's chickens are coming home to roost!
He spent four years enacting job-killing and business-crushing policies timed mostly to take effect in his second term.
Only desperate bond buying by the Fed is keeping the circus going.
I would not get too excited. Hagel, Lew and Kerry are now approved. This is just a little bump in the road for the regime. Pravda will soon recover the story line and the sheeple who even give a dang will lap it up. The rest will go on being just as drunk and stupid as they have ever been.
Obamunism is destined to collapse. Unfortunately, as with Obama himself, it will not be blamed for the misery it inflicts on the American people.
The simple fact is that the Useful Idiots outnumber the Informed Patriots in todays America.
I will always will be a staunch Antiobamunist.
Personally, I prefer the term Barackalypse. It has a certain finality to it!
Most of those who worship him have no idea what's going on in this country. Those that do would be thrilled to see the military start hanging conservatives.
There are four types of people in this Country.
1. People like us who pay attention and love The United States of America as Founded.
2. Liberals who support the destruction of our way of life and see Obama as their key to the Kingdom. In earlier times they were called Morons or Traitors.
3. People who think Obama is just another well meaning Democrat who is in over his head and is really trying to do the right thing. We call those people Old Style Democrats, RINO's and Frontal Lobotomy Patients.
4. Everyone else who go through life without a care. I think Peter Sellers in the Movie "Being There" when I think of them. They like to watch, but they have no clue what their watching.
i have total faith in Boner's ability to cave in and bend over to obama.
boner doesn't care about the points you mention. he'll cave. he can't handle the pressure and he has never, never been up for a hard and long fighting necesary against obama and the regime.
"Barackalypse"... that's perfect, CC!
Cue the Wagnerian music!
Woodward best watch his ass or obammy will Breitbart him.

Missing Area's PGA?Tournament
To the Readers' Forum:
Chautauqua County was home to the Peek'n Peak Classic professional golf tournament from 2002-2007 (when the then-owner of the Peak canceled the contract with the PGA tour). Since all four days of the golf tournament were on The Golf Channel, the whole country got to see a great golf course and resort right here in Chautauqua County.
I miss that PGA-affiliated tournament and the publicity it brought to our county.
It was a thrill in 2004 to watch Bubba Watson and Kevin Stadler have a playoff for the championship. Just eight years later, Bubba Watson won the Masters and earned $4,5600,000 on the tour in 2012.
Some other famous alumni of the Peek'n Peak Classic include: Zach Johnson, who won the 2007 Masters; Jason Dufner, who won two PGA tournaments in 2012; Bill Haas, who won the 2011 Fed Ex Cup; and Brandt Snedekar.
Perhaps private sector and public sector leaders will some day bring the PGA tour and national television exposure back to Chautauqua County. We can always hope.

Coreopsis grandiflora, commonly called large-flowered Tickseed, is native to southeastern U.S. Bright and cheery selections will attract butterflies and birds to your garden. Coreopsis are great cut flowers that last up to 2 weeks after being harvested. Superb in the border-reliable. Just give them some sun and enjoy the show. Coreopsis naturalize with ease. Cold hardy, floriferous and easy to grow.
Of the easiest care, even okay in a hot dry spot. Deadheading (removing spent blossoms) can extend blooming, so pick a few for cut flowers while you are in the garden. Leave new fall growth at the base for overwintering. Benefits from division every 2-3 years in spring, if desired.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Sean T. is the new TSOC President! 03/27/16As some of you may know, I started this forum back in 2010 in response to TCCA being sold to AutoGuide. I originally made this forum and called it the Taurus Club of Michigan (or something like that) purely as a joke, except a bunch of members from TCCA started joining. We eventually changed the name to the Taurus and Sable Owners Club, and we instantly started getting tons of signups from TCCA members in search of a new forum to join. I only had my Taurus for about 6 months, and have moved on to the Mopar side. After 6 years, it seems weird for me to be president of TSOC. So as of today, I am 'stepping down' as President of the club and hereby hand the title of TSOC President to Sean T! I would say that most of you already know who he is, and I think he will do a great job as TSOC President. I will remain an admin of the forum and will continue to manage the server and forum software. Sean will be taking over all other responsibilities, including being in charge of the TSOC donations and money management. I will continue to pay for domain renewals, forum license renewals, and any other forum expenses, with Seans approval. Everybody please welcome Sean as the new President!

Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival set this weekend
MARQUETTE – The 35th Hiawatha Traditional Music Festival, featuring music, dance, crafts, food, and fun for the whole family, will take place Friday through Sunday.
This year's anniversary also includes everyone's favorite babysitter, a swimming area with a lifeguard, on the newly reconstructed lake at Tourist Park in Marquette.
The festival's main stage roster includes eleven accomplished local, regional, and national performers. Bonsior Catin, a band of women from Lafayette, La., plays an energetic, passionate, heart-felt mix of Cajun styles.
Solas is Seamus Egan's dynamic, acoustic Irish music group; and Craver, Hicks, Watson and Newberry from Raleigh, N.C., will be playing old time mountain songs.
Other important acts on the Hiawatha stage include song writers John Gorka and Antje Duvecot; the Costabella Cloggers; bluesman Charlie Parr, and the Royal Garden Trio, a swing ensemble from Ann Arbor.
Jonathan Rundman, an Ishpeming native, plays in Kiavama, a Finnish music duo, and the Door Cats are a local band from Marquette.
The 35th Hiawatha Festival begins with a Get Acquainted Dance on Friday night at 7 p.m. (Eastern time) with sets by Craver, Hicks, Watson and Newberry; the Royal Garden Trio; and Bonsoir Catin.
A full schedule of activities begins in earnest on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and continues through Sunday until 10 p.m.
Workshops each day will include a mix of local and main stage performers. There will also be a Children's Area with music and crafts, special activities for teens on Saturday night, and a variety of food vendors as well. Another festival tradition is the Artists in the Round art and craft show and sale, coordinated by the Oasis Gallery in Marquette. And this year, there is also a Youth Artists Corner where young people, ages 7-17, will sell their handiwork.

Pope Benedict greets Archbishop Martin & Eucharistic Congress Team
Saturday September 11, 2010
In the second week of November a delegation from the Congress Organising Committee, led by Archbishop Martin, participated in an international gathering in Rome, hosted by the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses.
The Irish delegation presented the preliminary arrangements for the Eucharistic Congress to seventy delegates nominated by Bishops' Conferences from all five continents.
The delegation was composed of Archbishop Martin (President IEC2012), Gerard Gallagher (Chair of Committee for Pastoral &Liturgical Planning and Programming), Barbara Gilroy (Chair of Special Events committee), Anne Griffin (General Manager), and Fr Kevin Doran (Secretary General IEC2012).
Press Release from the Archdiocese of Dublin
This morning in the Sala Clementina of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father Benedict XVI received in audience the participants in the Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses. Addressing the delegation, His Holiness expressed the hope that the preparations in Ireland for the International Eucharistic Congress would help with the renewal of the Irish Church.
Pope Benedict said "your Assembly has paid great attention to this event, which is also part of the modernisation programme of the Church in Ireland. The theme, recalls the centrality of the Eucharistic Mystery for the growth of the life of faith and every authentic process of Church renewal".
Pope Benedict also remarked that this week's meeting falls on the 50th anniversary of the Eucharistic Congress in Munich, Bavaria, which marked a turning point in understanding these ecclesial events, and which the Pope said "I had the pleasure of attending that assembly in person, as a young professor of theology". In addition, he said the 2012 Congress in Ireland will have a jubilee character, as it will be the 50th Congress and it will also be 50 years since the opening of the Second Vatican Council.
The Eucharistic Congress will be hosted by the Archdiocese of Dublin on behalf of the whole Irish Church. The theme of the 2012 Congress is "The Eucharist: Communion with Christ and one another" and pastoral planning and preparations are well under way throughout Ireland.
The programme of the 2012 Congress was presented to the assembled delgates by the Irish organisers on the second day of the conference. The Congress theological document "Pastoral and Theological reflections for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress" was presented by Archbishop Martin in plenary session. Alongside this, Fr. Kevin Doran (Secretary General) outlined the four-stage programme of pastoral preparation which has been introduced in most Irish dioceses, and invited delegates to make this a truly international Congress by making use of these pastoral resources in their own countries also.
The delegates were also introduced to the new Congress hymn "Though we are Many" by contemporary Irish composer Bernard Sexton. The Congress prayer (in 7 languages) and the promotional DVD were also presented.

Magnus Lindberg's important early opus Kraft received its long-belated NY premiere this past week. While the requirements for the piece itself – a large orchestra, massive percussion section, antiphonal spatializing, electronics, amplification, and several soloists – are daunting enough to make the piece a logistically challenging one to present, Lindberg goes still further to personalize its requirements. He stipulates that the percussion section use found materials from a local junkyard in their performance of the work, thereby locating each performance and making it a site-specific entity.
Here's a video of the NYPO's percussionists going on a scavenger hunt with Lindberg in preparation for the NY performances of Kraft.
This type of piece personalization makes each orchestra's rendering of the work a unique experience; but it's also curtailed the number of organizations who have, to date, presented Kraft.
Kraft, and other pieces with daunting requirements, raise certain aesthetic questions for composers. Is it important for each performance of a new piece to have a sense of personalization? Should composers strive to think big, even if it means that they'll get less performances as a result? Or is a more portable and utilitarian view preferable?
Of course, one can make strong a case for both options and many variations in between. Lindberg himself has composed works which are far more easily programmed than Kraft!
But the piece does throw down a gauntlet. Composers: are you willing to wait years for performances of your music if that's what making highly personal work requires? Or do you prefer getting your music out into the world right away and thus favor more practical solutions?

I have a little Gyokuro left from Upton (although if Chip is right, it's really just Kabusecha ) and I'm wondering if I should try steeping the last of it differently than is suggested on the packaging. Upton suggests 1 tsp per 6-8 oz at a temperature of 170F for 2 minutes. I've read in certain places to use double the amount of leaf as usual (so 2 tsp) and a much lower temperature for a shorter period of time. What do you guys think?
Oh, and what temperature and time should I use for subsequent infusions (2nd, 3rd, etc?)

Milton Bradley's wife filed charges against him for domestic abuse, he could face up to 13 years in prison....I guess some things never change.
The charges break down like this: 4 counts of spousal battery, 4 counts of criminal threats, 2 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, 2 counts of vandalism and 1 count of dissuading a witness from making a report.
As TMZ first reported, Milton's wife Monique filed a domestic violence report with the LAPD back in November 2012 ... claiming he tried to choke her, with two hands, when she asked him to stop smoking marijuana in front of their kids.
Bradley was arrested in August 2011 for allegedly attacking Monique with a bat, and in March 2012 he allegedly threatened her with a knife and said, "You'll be dead b-tch before you divorce me.

Welcome to TeaDay everyone, let's all brew and share what is in out cups today, all day! If you need to, you can reflect back on your TeaDay.
Today, we get to bash a tea, a rare negative TeaDay. So, if one tea was the last tea on the entire planet, but you still would not brew it, let alone drink it, what would it be? Why this tea?
I am looking forward to sharing my TeaDay with everyone here today. So, bottoms up, refill, repeat many times...

October 30, 2013
When President Barack Obama, his Administration, and Democrats on Capitol Hill argued for health care reform, they told all Americans they'd be treated to better care at more affordable prices. They also promised that those who already had insurance would get to keep it, and their doctor. This October, Americans have learned the problems with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) go much further than a glitchy website. In today's "5 Things To Know," we look at the top five broken Obamacare promises.
All Americans Will Be Covered By Health Insurance. Politico has reported President Obama's 2007 promise to make health care "universal" was an "offhand" and "check the box" statement. But it's a statement in which many Americans believed. Unfortunately, as reported by The Washington Post in June, according to the latest estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, more than 31 million people in the U.S. will remain uninsured under the ACA. About 20 percent of those individuals will be undocumented immigrants, but 80 percent will be U.S. citizens.
Americans Could Keep Their Insurance If They Wanted. The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post (which gave this claim four Pinocchios) recount this promise, which was made repeatedly in the run-up to the law's passage. Despite those pledges, about 15 million Americans will lose their current health care coverage under the ACA. (Today, CNN reports that three states have told insurance companies to completely get rid of some existing plans.) Democratic leaders have admitted their messaging in support of the ACA was off. Politico reports, "House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that Obama and Democrats could have been more 'precise' in their messaging that the Affordable Care Act would not push Americans out of their existing health care plans." The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal have more on this issue while we remind readers that, earlier this week, NBC News reported the Obama Administration knew some Americans would lose their insurance.
Americans Will Get To Keep Their Current Doctor. If a consumer loses his or her current insurance, he or she may also lose their current doctor if the present physician doesn't take the patient's new insurance. Californian Lisa Buchanan is facing this issue. Bloomberg reports, "Beyond the financial blow, Buchanan said she was concerned she could no longer see her present doctors. 'It's more than likely that we'll change plans because of the premiums,' Buchanan said in a telephone interview. 'I'm probably going to lose those relationships because I'm not going to want to pay the premiums to keep them.'"
Average Premiums Would Fall $2,500; Costs In Rural Areas Will Decline Because Consumers Would Have More Choices. In his 2008 campaign, then-Sen. Barack Obama promised this health care plan would reduce premiums by about $2,500 for the average family. According to a March 2013 Manhattan Institute report, "[S]ince the passage of Obamacare, household premiums have increased by a full 11.3 percent." Additionally, in March 2012, then-Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack promised, "The law is providing new coverage options to rural communities while fostering competition between insurers to bring down the cost of coverage. … The new health law is providing rural communities with better access to doctors and nurses. It is holding insurers accountable. And it is giving rural Americans better and more affordable health coverage choices." As Bankrupting America noted last week, The New York Times found the price reductions are very unlikely to come true. Why? In many counties there will be very few options for coverage, including 530 U.S. counties where there will only be one health insurance option.
Navigating The Federal Website Would Be As Easy As Navigating Expedia. In June, The Washington Examiner reported the Administration promised the website would be ready in October. But while CNN notes, "On Capitol Hill on Monday, Medicaid Chief Marilyn Tavenner, … said she did not foresee its problems." Politico reports the Administration was warned the website wasn't ready. The newspaper says, "The latest headache for the administration is the release late Tuesday of a report showing that a major contractor had warned of website problems weeks before its launch." At least one employee at Tavenner's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services received the report.

"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
Not much should change based on how hard a guy is throwing. I don't recommend changing where a hitter stands in the box. If he can cover the whole plate and is comfortable in a certain position in the box, keep him there no matter who is throwing.
The only thing I like to remind a hitter when he's facing a guy with a little more zip is to make sure he has his front foot down earlier. A swing can't start until your front foot is down and a lot of times kids struggle against a fast pitcher because they don't have their front foot down in time. Get your front foot down early, while keeping your weight evenly distrubted, and throw your hands at the ball.
Now, good luck drilling that into 3rd and 4th graders heads...
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Maybe you can contact a local batting cage place see if they would provide a reduce rate or even give your players some free time during non-peak hours. Or how about renting a pitching machine?
Or find some older high school kid that has a good arm and see if he wants to do some community service time as an assistant coach.
Or tweet Brandon Phillips and he might bring over Chapman to pitch to the kids.

Like Freak said, at that age body control and mind control can be a bit tough to manage, so some kids might have trouble with timing and balance (and remembering).
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

Topic: Functional testing a create method
I'm trying to functional test my create method but it doesn't seem to be setting the parameters. What am I doing wrong?
The controller is:
def create
@theme = Theme.new
if @theme.save(params[:theme])
flash[:notice] = 'Theme was successfully created.'
redirect_to :action => 'list'
render :action => 'new'
And the test is:
def test_create
post :create, :theme => {:title => "title", :description => "description"}
assert assigns(:theme).valid?
However the theme isn't valid. If I do
puts assigns(:theme).errors.full_messages
then it tells me that title and description are empty.
I can't seem to find any good examples of similar functional tests to see what I might be doing wrong.

Cornerstone University, a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Christian university, has joined the myriad of lawsuits against the HHS mandate requiring abortion-inducing drugs as part of employee insurance coverage.
This filing is first and foremost an effort to preserve and protect our religious freedom as guaranteed by the First Amendment," Cornerstone President Joseph Stowell wrote in an email Wednesday to donors and alumni. "Given our conviction that life begins at conception and our commitment to the sanctity of life, we find the mandate to provide our faculty, staff, and students with insurance that provides access to abortion-inducing pills unacceptable. The government should not be able to force us to buy or provide insurance that gives access to morally objectionable drugs, devices, and services that violate our biblical convictions."

Bringing a new baby into the home can be a challenge for everyone, though pets can be the most affected.
Aside from getting used to the new smells, lack of attention and loud noises, pet health can also take a backseat during the transition, according to NBC Today.
Although most owners don't mean to be neglectful of their dog's typical exercise routine, a new baby can make it easy to forget to do certain tasks that they were once diligent about.
Carrie Barnes and her husband Phil had their bulldog, Barclay, for three years before having their first child. Before the baby, Barnes said she used to take Barclay to the dog park every afternoon - rain or shine. But since the baby, the outings have been more irregular.
"Barclay would anticipate it and stand by the door," Barnes said on the daily exercise.
Since their new addition, there has been less exercise and more visitors with food. At his last veterinary visit, he had gained five pounds in three months.
This trend is all too common among animals with a new baby in the home.
A recent study conducted by a dog supplement company found that owners with a new baby represented a third of the people asking veterinarians about joint health because of their overweight pets.
Giving a dog adequate physical activity to balance their eating habits, regardless of new changes, is crucial to helping them maintain a healthy weight, according to the ASPCA.

New firehouse proposed for Lehigh
LEHIGH A custom motorcycle made by Orange County Choppers will be sold via a raffle this year to raise money for the construction of a new fire station in Lehigh.
The bike is now being designed by the staff of the Newburgh, N.Y., motorcycle shop made famous by the television program"American Choppers."
Lehigh Fire Chief Kirk Kelley said it is expected to arrive in Webster County in late April. He said a nationwide sale of raffle tickets will take place during the spring and summer, with the winner to be picked in September.
Kelley said he hopes the motorcycle sale combined with donations from businesses and individuals will generate $500,000 to pay for the proposed new fire station.
He added that any money left over after the station is built will be shared with nearby volunteer fire departments.
"We want to try to make everybody's life a little better and a little easier out of this whole deal," he said.
Kelley got the idea of using a custom motorcycle as a fundraising vehicle for the Fire Department about two and a half years ago, and began sending e-mails to Orange County Choppers and other high profile makers of such bikes. He joked that representatives of Orange County Choppers must have gotten sick of getting his e-mails so they finally replied to him.
Kelley said the finished product will be a two-seater and will likely have lots of chrome.
The raffle tickets will cost $20. They will be sold locally and nationally via the Lehigh Firefighters Association web site. Kelley said he has collected contact information for 26,910 American fire departments so that they can be notified of the raffle. Firefighters will also travel to fairs and motorcycle events to sell tickets.
The Lehigh Fire Department is also accepting donations for the station project. Pelhams Blue Ribbon Water, of Fort Dodge, water made a $5,000 contribution Wednesday.
The Fire Department is housed in a building that's also home to the city offices, the library and the public works department. It was built in 1982. Since then, fire equipment has gotten bigger.
"Right now you can barely get our trucks in," Kelley said.
The new station will have five garage bays, a training room and a kitchen. Kelley said he hopes to get it built within five years.
