In the first post of this series , I got us set up with a Serenity repository using Maven as our build tool. I also started us on the path of applying Cucumber-JVM by putting a feature file in place. In this post we'll start tying Cucumber into Serenity's runtime operations.
Let's jump right in with getting a test runner set up.
Test Runner
In Serenity, the Cucumber tests are run via a JUnit runner. This, however, requires a dedicated test runner that will actually know how to "run" the feature files which are, keep in mind, just text files. What Cucumber does is provide a mechanism that essentially consumes a Gherkin-style feature file and then uses its internal API to break that feature file down into parts, effectively crafting an abstract syntax tree.
Let's start out by creating a package to hold our runner. We're going to be operating in the src/test/java root package for now. Create a package in a way that you normally would: a domain package and then a more specific contents package. For purposes of this article, I'll go with the following:
com.testerstories.tutorial.todos . You can see I've used my own domain and then tagged on the addition of the application I'll be testing, which is the TodoMVC application. Within that package, create another package called
features .
Here's a visual of what things should look like for you:
In this package, create a class called RecordTodos . This is going to be our runner class. So what goes in here? When you run your Cucumber-style scenarios with Serenity, you're going to use a CucumberWithSerenity test runner. So let's start off with the following code:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features; import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; @RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class) public class RecordTodos {}
Depending on how familiar you are with Cucumber, you might wonder how this runner is going to do anything with the feature file that we created in the last post. To answer that, one thing I'll call to your attention to right now is that the package structure I'm using under src/test/resources is not the same as that under src/test/java. Does this matter? Strictly speaking, no.
If the feature files are not in the same package as the test runner class — as is the case with my example so far — then you also need to use a @CucumberOptions class to provide the root directory where the feature files can be found. Let's add this to our code:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features; import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions; import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; @RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class) @CucumberOptions( features = "src/test/resources/features/manage_todos/record_todos/add_new_todos.feature" ) public class RecordTodos {}
Okay, wait a minute. I just said provide the "root directory" where the feature files can be found. Yet here I'm including the entire directory as well as a specific feature file. That means this particular runner, when executed as part of the JUnit runner, will only execute that particular feature file. In Cucumber-JVM you will often have multiple runners. This is something I've found is a bit of cognitive friction for those coming to Cucumber from a language like Ruby. These multiple runners can be used to point at specific feature files, specific directories of feature files, or the entire root directory for all feature files.
Technically, this configuration using @CucumberOptions is not necessary. But to avoid using it, this means that your feature files (in src/test/resources) must be stored under the same package as the runner class (in src/test/java). In other words, you could match the runner package in your resources as such:
A convention of Cucumber-JVM is to automatically look for feature files in the resources directory that match the package from which the runner is executing. If you decide to go with your own convention, you simply have to add a bit of configuration, as I've shown, with the @CucumberOptions.
I should note here that the current Serenity documentation specifically states that if you go the package-matching route then you have to supply a "serenity.requirements.dir" property in your serenity.properties file. This setting is used to override the location of the requirements. So you would have to do this:
serenity.requirements.dir = src/test/resources/com/testerstories/tutorial
That being said, I haven't found this to be true. Things work perfectly fine even if I do not include that property.
For purposes of this post, I'm going to stick with the approach I started with. I have never been a big fan of making the features repository (in src/test/resources) match the Java package structure. My current impression is that this conflates the two domains a bit and constrains how flexible I can be. That being said, it also depends on the configuration you do or do not want in place. If you abhor the idea of using @CucumberOptions, then a package matching structure would likely be good for you.
Cucumber Reporting
While you will likely be using the Serenity aggregate reports, you can certainly still generate Cucumber-specific reports as you need to. Keep in mind that the runner you are using is no different than that which you would use with Cucumber-JVM itself. So, for example, if you wanted to generate the simple Cucumber HTML output, you could add the following to your runner:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features; import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions; import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; @RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class) @CucumberOptions( plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-html-report"}, features = "src/test/resources/features/manage_todos/record_todos/add_new_todos.feature" ) public class RecordTodos {}
You can also hook into existing Cucumber reporting libraries, including them just as you would in a project that wasn't using Serenity. That's an important point to understand. You aren't "giving up" anything by using Cucumber integrated with Serenity.
Crafting the Step Definitions
In Cucumber, each line of the Gherkin scenario maps to a method in a Java class. The conceptual name for these classes are called "step definitions" in the Cucumber context. These classes use annotations that match the Gherkin keywords, like @Given, @When and @Then. Those annotations are used to instrument methods that will be called when a given line is recognized from the feature file, via token extraction that is done from the regular expressions contained with the annotations.
Let's first create a place to put these step classes. Under your
todos/features package, create a
steps package. In that package, create a class called RecordTodoSteps . So you'll have this structure:
Let's start by handling our Given step. Modify the source of the RecordTodoSteps as such:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features.steps; import cucumber.api.java.en.Given; public class RecordTodoSteps { @Given("^the todo application$") public void start_the_todo_application() { } }
So here we're matching a specific step from the feature file. In fact, if you are using a Cucumber-aware IDE — like IntelliJ or Eclipse — you should find that the feature file itself will now indicate that this particular step has been found in the code, whereas the other two have not. For example, in IntelliJ you'll see something like this:
Executing the Scenario
Cucumber has the notion that any step succeeds unless an assertion or expectation makes it demonstrably fail. So right now we have a scenario that is ultimately pending, but with one passed step. Let's check out what this looks like in the report, particularly given how I described the reports in the first post. Run this:
mvn clean verify
You'll see a lot of output that I recommend you go through at some point to familiarize yourself with what is happening. This output is a combination of Serenity and Cucumber-JVM reporting. Once the execution completes, open the report at
target/site/serenity/index.html .
On the "Overall Test Results" tab, you'll see a "Tests" table at the bottom of the page. This contains the "Add a new todo" title line, indicating that this test has three steps. If you click on the title, you'll be taken to the steps for the scenario. You should see something like this in your report:
The Given: Adding a Page
Here I'll focus on adding a page object in the mostly traditional sense of how these things operate. Eventually I'm going to want to refactor away from "full" page objects and go more towards a "minimalist" style page object, putting focus instead on step libraries within Serenity.
First let's add an action to our @Given method:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features.steps; import cucumber.api.java.en.Given; public class RecordTodoSteps { TodoPagetodoPage; @Given("^the todo application$") public void start_the_todo_application() { todoPage.open(); } }
I've added a call to the open() method on a page object (todoPage) that doesn't exist yet. So I need to create an instance of this TodoPage class. I'm actually going to create this class in my src/main/java package. To follow along, create a package — again, within src/main/java — of
com.testerstories.tutorial.todos . If you used a different structure in src/test/java, make sure to use whatever you did there. With that package in place, create another package within it called
pages . In that package create the TodoPage class. Just to be entirely clear, here's what my current structure looks like, assuming you've followed along in both posts up to this point:
Make sure that this class extends the PageObject class as follows:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject; public class TodoPage extends PageObject { }
If you go back to your RecordTodoSteps class, you'll see that the line
todoPage.open() does not have an error, even though you have not written any open() method. (Do make sure to add the import of the pages.TodoPage.) The reason you don't have to provide an open() method is because Serenity is doing this for you. And that's happening because you are are extending the TodoPage class with PageObject, and it is the PageObject which provides the open() method.
However, you do have to somehow indicate what page to actually open. There are various ways you can do this. For now, I'll use the @DefaultUrl annotation on the page class:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject; import net.thucydides.core.annotations.DefaultUrl; @DefaultUrl("http://todomvc.com/examples/angularjs") public class TodoPage extends PageObject { }
You can certainly run your scenarios now (
mvn clean verify ) and you'll find that the step still passes but now at least you see the browser appearing and navigating to the TodoMVC application for AngularJS.
The When: Adding the Test Action
Now let's create a matching step definition for our 'When' step in the feature file. In the RecordTodoSteps class, add the following:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features.steps; import com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages.TodoPage; import cucumber.api.java.en.Given; import cucumber.api.java.en.When; public class RecordTodoSteps { TodoPagetodoPage; @Given("^the todo application$") public void start_the_todo_application() { todoPage.open(); } @When("^the todo action '(.*)' is added$") public void add_a_todo_action(String actionName) { } }
You should find that your 'When' step from the feature file is now showing as matched if you are using an IDE. Since I'm going with a generic page object approach here, the next step is to add a method to the page object that will handle adding the provided bit of text (stored in actionName) to the element on the TodoMVC form that corresponds to the input text field. First let's add the action:
@When("^the todo action '(.*)' is added$") public void add_a_todo_action(String actionName) { todoPage.addActionCalled(actionName); }
Now create that method in your TodoPage class and add the following code to it:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages; import net.serenitybdd.core.annotations.findby.By; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject; import net.thucydides.core.annotations.DefaultUrl; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; @DefaultUrl("http://todomvc.com/examples/angularjs") public class TodoPage extends PageObject { public void addActionCalled(String actionName) { WebElementtodoField = getDriver().findElement(By.cssSelector("#new-todo")); todoField.sendKeys(actionName); todoField.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER); } }
Feel free to run this. You'll find that it works. The TodoMVC application shows up and the provided text is entered into the input field.
This should look very familiar to you if you have ever worked with Selenium before. You could also shorten this considerably using a Serenity convenience method that matches what you would see if you've ever done work with jQuery. Specifically, you could change the above method call as such:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject; import net.thucydides.core.annotations.DefaultUrl; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; @DefaultUrl("http://todomvc.com/examples/angularjs") public class TodoPage extends PageObject { public void addActionCalled(String actionName) { $("#new-todo").sendKeys(actionName); $("#new-todo").sendKeys(Keys.ENTER); } }
This makes it a little simpler and removes the need for a few imports. However, Serenity gives an interesting API that lets you actually do this in a more readable fashion, with a bit more code but chained together:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject; import net.thucydides.core.annotations.DefaultUrl; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; @DefaultUrl("http://todomvc.com/examples/angularjs") public class TodoPage extends PageObject { public void addActionCalled(String actionName) { $("#new-todo").type(actionName).then().sendKeys(Keys.ENTER); } }
The main thing to understand here is that the
$() method is defined on the PageObject class. This method can take an argument that is either a type of WebElement or a String that is an XPath or CSS Selector. The method is designed to return what is known as a WebElementFacade. I'll come back to the WebElementFacade idea later. For now, just know that
type() and
then() are methods on a WebElementFacade instance and they return an instance of WebElementFacade. This is what lets you chain the methods together and still call Selenium actions, such as
sendKeys() .
The Then: Adding the Observable
Let's finish off this post by adding the implementation of the 'Then' step. Add the following to your RecordTodoSteps class:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.features.steps; import com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages.TodoPage; import cucumber.api.java.en.Given; import cucumber.api.java.en.Then; import cucumber.api.java.en.When; import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat; public class RecordTodoSteps { TodoPagetodoPage; @Given("^the todo application$") public void start_the_todo_application() { todoPage.open(); } @When("^the todo action '(.*)' is added$") public void add_a_todo_action(String actionName) { todoPage.addActionCalled(actionName); } @Then("^'(.*)' should appear in the todo list$") public void action_should_appear_in_my_todo_list(String action) { assertThat(todoPage.getActions()).contains(action); } }
As before, you should see that the 'Then' step in your feature file indicates that it has been matched. All we have to do is implement that getActions() method in our page class. Do that by adding the following to the TodoPage class:
package com.testerstories.tutorial.todos.pages; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.PageObject; import net.serenitybdd.core.pages.WebElementFacade; import net.thucydides.core.annotations.DefaultUrl; import org.openqa.selenium.Keys; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; @DefaultUrl("http://todomvc.com/examples/angularjs") public class TodoPage extends PageObject { public void addActionCalled(String actionName) { $("#new-todo").type(actionName).then().sendKeys(Keys.ENTER); } public List<String> getActions() { return findAll(".view").stream() .map(WebElementFacade::getText) .collect(Collectors.toList()); } }
findAll() , defined on a PageObject, takes in a By instance which should be a selector. The rest of this is basically a functional representation of a map-reduce operation. I don't want to get side-tracked into too many details here but essentially I'm finding all elements on the page that match the selector ".view". I'm then streaming that collection and mapping to the getText() method of the WebElementFacade. Behind the scenes this handles using a Selenium WebElement and calling a method on getting the text. The collect() method is then used on the stream to get each item collected and create a list of string from that collection.
At this point you have a fully working test. Try it!
Make Sure It Fails
As with any test, you should be able to prove that it is capable of being wrong. So make an error in the text of the string being checked for in the 'Then' step. Then run the test again.
When you view the report, you'll see the Then step is colored red and indicates an assertion error. You can click the "View Stack Trace" to see more details, which will show something like this:
Expecting: <["Digitize Supreme Power Collection"]> to contain: <["Digitize Super Power Collection"]> but could not find: <["Digitize Super Power Collection"]>
Note that this stack trace is actually in a form that Serenity calls "simplified." What this means is that any calls to instrumented code or test libraries are abstracted out of the final report. However, if you do want a non-simplified stack trace, you can provide a property in your serenity.properties file, stored in the root of your project, like this:
simplified.stack.traces = false
One thing to notice in the report is that the screenshot for the second step does not show the text actually entered in. The property
serenity.take.screenshots can be set to configure how often the screenshots are taken. This is yet another setting that can be stored in serenity.properties. To see it in action , add this:
serenity.take.screenshots = AFTER_EACH_STEP
You could also use the setting DISABLED, which means no screenshots at all will be taken.
It Comes Down to Abstraction Levels
What I've shown here is that you can use Cucumber-JVM just as you would outside the context of Serenity. You can even generate the same reports you were used to with Cucumber. You saw that I generate the native Cucumber report as part of the @CucumberOptions. The point of this, however, is that the abstraction layer of Cucumber, at the English level, is now fully in place.
As I mentioned at the start of this post, I'm becoming more and more convinced that the abstraction layer provided by Cucumber is not necessarily effective or efficient.
What I've also done here, however, is further reinforce the traditional concept of the page object abstraction. And that's important to note because managing and refining the appropriate levels of abstraction is important in automation. It's easy to make mistakes it becomes even easier, in my opinion, when you have natural language feature files as part of your abstraction layer. This is just something I think testers need to be aware of.
In the next post, I want to refine what we did here and move towards the idea of better abstraction, away from the page objects. I believe that when you start to take this approach, the overall abstraction of feature files can become a little easier to manage.

Many years ago a senior executive VP of operations faced an awkward conversation. Upon arriving at work one Monday morning, she learned that the company's VP of sales had thought it a good idea to swim naked at a client's pool party over the weekend.
In front of employees, independent contractors and customers, he had dived into a pool of disrepute.
At first, the senior VP considered this an open-and-shut case. Swimming naked? Ask for the man's resignation. But it was not that easy. Before she'd even had a chance to re-heat her coffee, the company's CEO politely informed her that while swimming naked was indeed a bad idea, it wasn't the end of this person's job.
In fact, the senior VP interpreted the CEO to be saying that the offending skinny-dipper was a sacred cow. Continued the executive: "Please reprimand him before the day is over so that I can tell the client we've dealt with it."
"Are you kidding me?!" may have been an honest, but not-so-helpful question to pose at this particular juncture. And yet asking questions is a fantastic weapon for helping us get the results we want. For instance, the senior VP could have asked the CEO: "Please define 'reprimand' so I may better understand what you seek for consequences. What are we expecting in terms of his changed behaviors? How much authority do I have to ensure commitment to these new expectations?
"How might we as a company respond to the client or others who inquire as to our thought process? Shall I buy him a Speedo or trunks for his next party appearance?!"
And . . . what about this difficult employee himself? Too many times, leaders -- especially entrepreneurs facing a scenario as difficult as that of the naked swimmer -- shoulder the responsibility for critical thinking. We believe that we must figure out all the answers prior to a challenging conversation.
But, instead, if we arm ourselves with thoughtful, high-level questions, we may succeed in getting others to squirm for us -- mentally squirm, that is.
In fact, that's what the senior VP did. Unsure quite how to handle the birthday-suit bather she did some heavy lifting prior to their meeting. She brainstormed a list of questions, including, but not limited to, How stupid are you? How do you expect the company to respond to your choices? How might we best rectify your actions? How much did you drink?
If roles were reversed, how would you respond? Help me understand… what was the thought process behind your action? and: What are the possible unintended consequences we need to mitigate right now?"
Though tempting, she kept all but the stupidity and drinking questions on her agenda and felt more prepared than she had before embarking on her framing of the issue. Armed and dangerous, she then met the VP of sales off-site and led with her opening question, "If roles were reversed, how would you respond?"
The swim champ replied, "Knowing I'd just seen you naked, I think I'd be responding with a smile."
Time stood still. The woman says she felt her heart skip a beat in panic as her internal thoughts raced. How stupid are you? How stupid am I?! Did I really just ask that? Did he really just say that?! I am in over my head. He just totally zinged me . . . were some of those thoughts.
Wait! she then thought to herself. Take a deep breath. Wrong question: Score one slimy point for this guy. Questions work; questions always work -- they just need to be the right questions.
Ignoring the swimmer's snarky remark, she continued with her second question, "How do you expect the company to respond to your choices? We're not pleased. I met with our CEO this morning, and he and I agree this was quite the choice. He had to call the client this afternoon.;

General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) of the Northern Command, Lt General KT Parnaik, while speaking at Northern Command's investiture ceremony on the occasion of Army Day, near Akhnoor Tuesday, revealed India's stern stand on the issue.
He said three ceasefire violations by Pakistan took place in the Krishna Ghanti area even after the two sides talked at a flag meeting on Monday. He said India reserved the right to retaliate at the place and time it chose if Pakistan did not stop its acts of ceasefire violation.
Lt General Parnaik said India did not respond to the fresh violations reported in Mendhar, Balnoi and Uri for they were not effective. He said the Indian Army had several options to choose from and would not react hastily. He said the sacrifices made by Hemraj and Sudhakar Singh, the two Indian soldiers who were killed by Pakistani troops in Mendhar last week and their bodies mutilated, would not go waste.
He, however, ruled out the possibility of a full-fledged war with Pakistan, saying the latter would not want another front with India particularly when its domestic situation is very volatile at the moment. He said India, too, was not interested in having a war with Pakistan.
He also ruled out the possibility of China interfering in the latest dispute despite the fact that its presence has increased in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. The army officer said although the People's Liberation Army has been working on various infrastructure projects, there is no information that it is arming the Pakistanis with weapons.
The Lt Gen said the Pakistani troops were firing at the Indians from behind residential areas and a retaliation from the Indian side would have caused casualties. He echoed Army Chief Bikram Singh to say that the sudden rise in infiltration from the Pakistani side shows the growing frustration of Islamabad over failing to push in the militants. He said there were nearly 2,500 terrorists in 43 training camps across the LoC and several of them were waiting for an opportunity to enter India.

Toronto Missing Capybaras: One High Park Zoo Rodent Found, One Still On The Loose
TORONTO — One of two large rodents that escaped a Toronto zoo has been rounded up.
According to social media posts by Toronto City Coun. Sarah Doucette and local media reports, one of the capybaras was recaptured on Sunday.
Doucette posted on Facebook Sunday night that the capybara, which resemble a tailless beaver with short legs, is resting.
The two creatures, one male and one female, escaped from the High Park Zoo about two weeks ago.
The six month old capybaras, dubbed Bonnie and Clyde by zoo staff, took off while they were being introduced to their enclosure for the first time as part of an exchange with another zoo.
Toronto TV station CP24 reported that zoo staff weren't saying exactly how and where the animal was found.Also on HuffPost:
An African stork and a capybara are seen at Schonbrunn zoo in Vienna on June 10, 2009. Schonbrunn zoo presents an ecological project, called 'Trouble in Paradise,' which run until October 2009. AFP PHOTO/JOE KLAMAR (Photo credit should read JOE KLAMAR/AFP/Getty Images)

Fold preflop. Seriously.
This isn't even in my BTN opening range, so the blinds would have to be exceptional nits for me to play this. And I open 50% from the BTN.
From the Hijack? Fold 1000% imo.
That's a pretty bad flop to get vs 3 coldcallers. Your fold equity is going to approach zero. Just give up postflop. This is the wrong spot to try this in.
2 5 7 offsuit would be an uncoordinated flop. This board is somewhat coordinated. It hits suited combo hands occasionally. Firing into 3 other players with air I'm not a fan off, but occasionally it's worth a try. I think this is the wrong board to do it in a multi-way pot. Additionally, this hand (K5 off) screams reverse implied odds to me. What happens when you hit a K, 5 kicker and get called down the whole way? Likely a better K is calling off assuming they missed everything else.
i think with the table dynamics as stale as it was, it was okay. I started stealing the blinds often, and honestly this was an attempt to steal preflop, knowing they are folding most hands to a preflop raise. I almost wanted to be caught in a bluff to induce more action.
I was faily certain that they were only entering the pot with face cards. if any played back I fold. all folded.
re: Poker & $5 NLHE 6-max: Bluffing against 3 on an uncoordinated flop
And yes. I completely agree with this.
This is an insta fold preflop. I get if you felt they were nitty to bet pre but why in MP? What was the goal of your raise? With K5o with people still to act was your goal to steal blinds ? You don't want people going into most flops with you with such a crappy hand pre.
As people play this game more and more you have to consider the reason for your raising. "The table seemed nitty" isn't a good reason, esp not with K5o and you had 3 callers.
Then the flop is so coordinated it's scary. Any two suited is drawing way ahead of you. So many other connectors are viable, a possible low set mine, not to mention any paired up hand has you behind. And what if the turn drops a K (or worse a K club) then what's your next move?
Think why you raised and what the game plan was going to be on the flop and if your hand improved. If for some reason I found myself raising and getting in a hand with K5o and I don't hit K5 on the flop and three others are in it, I'm out. Also you really don't want to be C-bet bluffing on a flop where you didn't get a piece AND more than half the table is still in the hand.
The reason for raising pre was a bluff.
they kept letting me steal the blinds, so I kept doing it. it wasnt a c-bet for the sake of continuing aggression. it was again a bluff. i was banking on the probability that they didnt get a piece of the flop either. and maybe they had a straight draw, they would have had the wrong odds to call and see the turn if i actually had something. Im out when they play back. according to 'easy game', aggression = fold equity + pot equity. pot equity was virtually zero, but fold equity was high.
It's not stealing when you do it from MP - too many players left to act.
If you want to play a bit looser because the table is nitty, then you look to play hands that are outside your opening range for the position you're in, but not by so much that they can't really stand a call. K5o is a trash hand that'll hardly ever flop well. At most you should add that to your BTN range if the blinds are really nitty. In all other cases you should toss it.
Suppose your "standard" opening range from the Hijack is something like 22+/A8s+/KTs+/QTs+/T9s+/ATo+/KTo+/QTo+/JTo (a 19% range), then you're looking to add stuff like A7s-A2s, K9s, Q9s, J9s, 98s-76s, A9o-A8o, T9o (which is a 24+% range). The difference isn't so big that they'll pick up on it, or that it'll hurt your overall equity if you do get called.
Also, the reason you're stealing blinds only from late position is that you'll have position on your opponent postflop in the event that you get called. If CO and BTN call, then you're in trouble postflop with K5o.
No OESD or flush draw is EVER folding to a half-pot bet on the flop.
With just one overcard, no draw whatsoever (not even a backdoor draw), two cards between 8 and J on the board, a two-tone flop that you miss completely, and 3 opponents, the only possibility for you is check/fold. That board is so wet, and it hits a coldcalling range so hard, that you'll be ahead here almost never, and that anyone that did get a piece of that board isn't going to fold to a smallish flop bet.
You got extremely lucky that they all missed the flop.
I'm thinking this'll work less than 10% of the time.
I do not believe that this is ever going to be a winning move. Just because you won it this time, doesn't make it +EV decision, imo.
I do agree with comments above, however I feel stealing with that hand against nits is not that much minus EV (we all do that when we get the god complex), but the next step CB in multiway pot in already quite large pot is a costly mistake, and would be even in dryish board. Your plan was to get folds, instead u got many callers, logical step in the plan is?
Have so little to add to this, when you're at MP, blind stealing is not something you should think about with 4 people to act after you. This is a terrible board to cbet for so many reasons, thinking player would know that this board fall right into his cold call range and most of the time misses your MP opening range so he can float often cuz you will give up when called often enough that they can auto profit, and with 4 clean outs at best youre not highly likely to improve and also there is no turn cards beside K that can improve your equity to justify a second barrel, Easy game also say what are good starting combos to open and what are the combos that play well postflop, Kxs is not one od them specially at mp, if you really wanna steal this early you better do it with 67s, 75s, 65s and something like that... Board is a book example of wet draw heavy, definitely one of the worse possible to cbet at as bluff, even more against 2 opponents. We are betting as bluff but what better will fold here? Draws will have good odda to call, overpairs and TP or 2nd P wont fold, youre only folding Ax combos which are smaller portion of his cc range, thus the cbet as bluff wont be profitable, cbet to collect dead money is also wrong idea here cuz we have close to 0 FE, we dont even need to mention bet for value... All this being said, check back flop but even more important, fold pre.
And one more thing which i think that is pretty important, i keep seeing, looking at your hands that you make your decisions based on your reads on your opponents not based on the logic, i would suggest to concentrate on solid abc and solid str8 forward poker then when you master the optimal game only then you should deviate your ranges and plays to exploit others for now keep it simple and do abc like every hand is played as first at the table, then when you get comfortable with playing that way, you can manipulate ranges and mix it up to explot more... Imho of course
re: Poker & $5 NLHE 6-max: Bluffing against 3 on an uncoordinated flop
great post draza. i definitely want to be more of a lag player, but its really easy to forget where the line is between hands that flop well like connectors or suited one off connectors and just any two cards...
i think im going to need to read easy game a few more times before i really start to get it down, i might contact amazon to see if they can hook me up with the kindle version of the book so i can read some at work
LAGs get in plenty of marginal situations. You might want to avoid those until you get a better grip on how to play them.
I guess I'm coming at it with the attitude of seeing what works and what doesn't. And when something doesn't work, come here to find out why. So far I'm profiting on bovada, but its entirely possible that I'm just on a heater, could also be the extremely soft competition. I guess if I see a good enough reversal in the trend than ill come here to find out. So far my worst downswing was 4BI but that was definitely from playing while too tired.
But yeah, you can't become a good LAG player until you understand how to be a good NIT, and TAG player. You'll just be another bad LAG, which I don't personally mind... that's how I make all my money.

LLOYD Deleted Scene: The Monkey
In this deleted scene, Lloyd asks a monkey for the whereabouts of Dookie. Since this scene remained on the cutting room floor, the audio of the monkey isn't replaced with better audio, so the monkey's voice may sound a little off. Also the scene was deleted for story purposes (the monkey gives them info they already know).
After reeling from a bad date, Lloyd, a private investigator, is hired by a worrisome alien to search the Sahara Desert for his brother Dookie.

Neural networks are changing the Internet. Inspired by the networks of neurons inside the human brain, these deep mathematical models can learn discrete tasks by analyzing enormous amounts of data. They've learned to recognize faces in photos, identify spoken commands, and translate text from one language to another. And that's just a start. They're also moving into the heart of tech giants like Google and Facebook. They're helping to choose what you see when you query the Google search engine or visit your Facebook News Feed.
All this is sharpening the behavior of online services. But it also means the Internet is poised for an ideological confrontation with the European Union, the world's single largest online market.
In April, the EU laid down new regulations for the collection, storage, and use of personal data, including online data. Ten years in the making and set to take affect in 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation guards the data of EU citizens even when collected by companies based in other parts of the world. It codifies the "right to be forgotten", which lets citizens request that certain links not appear when their name is typed into Internet search engines. And it gives EU authorities the power to fine companies an enormous 20 million euro—or four percent of their global revenue—if they infringe.
But that's not all. With a few paragraphs buried in the measure's reams of bureaucrat-speak, the GDPR also restricts what the EU calls "automated individual decision-making." And for the world's biggest tech companies, that's a potential problem. "Automated individual decision-making" is what neural networks do. "They're talking about machine learning," says Bryce Goodman, a philosophy and social science researcher at Oxford University who, together with a fellow Oxford researcher, recently published a paper exploring the potential effects of these new regulations.
The regulations prohibit any automated decision that "significantly affects" EU citizens. This includes techniques that evaluate a person's "performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements." At the same time, the legislation provides what Goodman calls a "right to explanation." In other words, the rules give EU citizens the option of reviewing how a particular service made a particular algorithmic decision.
Both of these stipulations could strike at the heart of major Internet services. At Facebook, for example, machine learning systems are already driving ad targeting, and these depend on so much personal data. What's more, machine learning doesn't exactly lend itself to that "right of explanation." Explaining what goes on inside a neural network is a complicated task even for the experts. These systems operate by analyzing millions of pieces of data, and though they work quite well, it's difficult to determine exactly why they work so well. You can't easily trace their precise path to a final answer.
Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, an Oxford expert in Internet governance who helped draft parts of the new legislation, says that the GDPR's description of automated decisions is open to interpretation. But at the moment, he says, the "big question" is how this language affects deep neural networks. Deep neural nets depend on vast amounts of data, and they generate complex algorithms that can be opaque even to those who put these systems in place. "On both those levels, the GDPR has something to say," Mayer-Schönberger says.
Goodman, for one, believes the regulations strike at the center of Facebook's business model. "The legislation has these large multi-national companies in mind," he says. Facebook did not respond to a request for comment on the matter, but the tension here is obvious.

IRS Issues Second Directive on Gift Cards
The IRS has issued a second industry director directive on gift cards and gift certificates, elevating the use of a separate gift card company to administer a taxpayers gift card or certificate program.
January 2009
by Jane Rohrs/The Tax Adviser
IDD No. 1 (LMSB-04-0507-039), issued on May 23, 2007, classified gift card "variations and problems" into two categories, Part A and Part B. Part A includes compliance with regulations, accounting method changes, and the use of estimates. Part A concerns must be raised on examination, and contact must be made with a Food and Beverage or a Retail technical adviser for coordination of the issue.
Planning and Examination Guidance: Part A
DD No. 2 states that the question of a taxpayer's use of a separate legal entity to administer its gift card or certificate program is now elevated to Part A status and accorded Part A treatment. The primary concern is whether the entity has goods for sale in the ordinary course of its trade or business and is therefore eligible to elect a deferral method of reporting gift card income under Regs. Sec. 1.451-5 or Rev. Proc. 2004-34.
The directive refers examiners to field attorney advice (FAA) 20082801F, released on July 11, 2008, which provides a legal analysis of a specific case.
Planning and Examination Guidance: Part B
In addition to elevating the Giftco matter to Part A status, the IRS has also updated the issues under Part B in a question and answer format. Part B covers the following topics:
Gift cards versus gift certificates: The IRS explains that gift cards and gift certificates are the same for purposes of Regs. Sec. 1.451-5. If a taxpayer treats gift cards differently from gift certificates, the IRS advises an examiner to raise the issue with one of the Retail or Food and Beverage technical advisers.
Reloadable gift cards: If a taxpayer's gift cards are reloadable, the IRS tells examiners to verify that the taxpayer's accounting system and software take into account the actual dates when money is added to the card for purposes of income deferral.
Deposits: The IRS takes the position that gift card or certificate income is not a deposit that is excludible from income. If a taxpayer excludes from taxable income gift card or certificate proceeds as deposits, the IRS advises examiners to bring the issue to the attention of one of the Retail or Food and Beverage technical advisers.
Gift cards as refunds: The IRS is still formulating a position on whether a taxpayer may treat the issuance of a gift card for returned merchandise, in lieu of a cash refund, as equivalent to a sale of a gift card but indicates that a Retail or Food and Beverage technical adviser should be contacted in such cases.

Service, Reliable Supply and Planning Still Count
Federated has a proud history of service and reliability in supplying gasoline and diesel fuel for our farmer customers and heating oil for homeowners. We continue to invest in storage equipment and exception fleet trucks.
We also shifted our petroleum division to improve efficiency and reliability by combining three bulk refined-fuels plants into a single facility at Ogilvie. Facilities in Pine City and the upgraded Cambridge location add efficiency, including tanks for biofuels, and they also meet current environmental requirements.
To broaden customer options, we've expanded product capability to supply E-85 gasoline as well as biodiesel in bulk. Federated works hard to make sure our bulk fuel customers are equipped with correct size tanks because we can offer them better pricing if we make less trips to deliver the fuel they need.
We were a big blender of soy-based products but soy-diesel has been crimped by high soybean prices and extreme world demand, particularly in China. We always try to keep customers informed about opportunities such as prebuy.
It's hoped that this web site will grow as a tool for customers who want to easily access information about where they can get special fuels and what the limitations might be for alternative fueled vehicles.

Pop diva Madonna and English singer Lady GaGa stunned America Saturday night by staging a catfight on live TV.
The two singers performed a synchronised dance-off, dressed in matching black lingerie and knee-high boots, as part of a comedy skit on Saturday Night Live, which was called to a halt when Madonna started pulling GaGa's wig and throttling her, yelling, "What the hell is a disco stick?" referring to the younger star's hit, reports gossip.ie.
The feuding pair was separated by the host of fictitious MTV show Deep House Dish, but a comedy war of words ensued as Gaga, the show's musical guest, said: "Guess what Madonna, I'm totally hotter than you," to which the latter girl replied: "Hey guess what, I'm taller than you. What sort of a name is Lady GaGa; it sounds like baby food".The pop pair ended the skit by moving in to kiss each other.
It was a star-studded Saturday Night Live with Ryan Reynolds guest hosting and his wife Scarlett Johansson playing his comedy spouse in a skit about a family porcelain fountain firm. Reynolds also raised laughs as a prison dance instructor in fictitious show So You Committed A Crime & You Think You Can Dance, a segment hosted by comedian Andy Samberg as Britney Spears' overweight ex Kevin Federline.

15, and I'm driving! good thing I taught myself a year ago when I stole that van loaded with anti-vampire weapons. We drove out of sight, towards the mountain range where both Onyx and I knew was an an abandoned home, lots of rooms, hiding places and best of all alsorts of passageways underground. I swerved, avoiding another vampire sensor. "So, where are we going exactly?" Violet asked, holding on with all she could.
"The mountains, theres a place up there that the institution doesn't know about" Onyx explained, we both exchanged a smile.
"And, there are underground passageways, perfect for sneaking in and out to get blood" I thought about raider for a second "Hey Raider, just so you know I have a vast collection of books and CDs if your interested" I smiled. As we got closer I knew we were home free, Nice plan Onyx, I gotta hand it to ya, you really came through.

The Reverend Bazil Meade is an entertaining showman and inventive musician who insists that everything he does has a spiritual dimension, even when salsa dancers are showing off their moves in front of the pulpit. Over the past 30 years he has led the London Community Gospel Choir from churches to football grounds and pop concerts, and he is now exploring how gospel can be fused with Latin styles. Two years ago his singers travelled to Barcelona to work with that city's Latin Big Band, and now comes a new collaboration, with the musicians led by the British-based Cuban violin virtuoso, Omar Puente.
As one of the opening shows in this year's La Linea London Latin Music festival, it was a suitably rousing if messy celebration. Eleven, predominantly female, members of the choir, who had been chosen to take part and given training in salsa dance choreography, were up against Puente's band, dominated by brass and percussion players. The opening was a wipe out, with the cheerfully energetic singers blown away by the brass.
Then on came Rev Meade to restore the balance, prowling across the stage and mixing the charisma of a powerful preacher with the vocal skill of a great gospel and soul singer. Now, the event developed into full-tilt party. Of course it was right that the gospel songs should be performed in a chapel, but the crowd were encouraged to get up and dance – difficult when you are squeezed in a wooden pew. This was an exuberant, entertaining and worthwhile fusion experiment, but the two highlights were the sections where each side performed apart, with Puente showing off his remarkable rapid-fire violin work with backing from his band, and the choir demonstrating their stirring harmony vocals on Long, Long Lonely Journey, backed only by percussion.

Performance of GOCE and GRACE-derived mean dynamic topographies in resolving Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts

Presently, two satellite missions, Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE), are making detailed measurements of the Earth's gravity field, from which the geoid can be obtained. The mean dynamic topography (MDT) is the difference between the time-averaged sea surface height and the geoid. The GOCE mission is aimed at determining the geoid with superior accuracy and spatial resolution, so that a more accurate MDT can be estimated. In this study, we determine the mean positions of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts using the purely geodetic estimates of the MDT constructed from an altimetric mean sea surface and GOCE and GRACE geoids. Overall, the frontal positions obtained from the GOCE and GRACE MDTs are close to each other. This means that these independent estimates are robust and can potentially be used to validate frontal positions obtained from sparse and irregular in situ measurements. The geodetic frontal positions are compared to earlier estimates as well as to those derived from MDTs based on satellite and in situ measurements and those obtained from an ocean data synthesis product. The position of the Sub-Antarctic Front identified in the GOCE MDT is found to be in better agreement with the previous estimates than that identified in the GRACE MDT. The geostrophic velocities derived from the GOCE MDT are also closer to observations than those derived from the GRACE MDT. Our results thus show that the GOCE mission represents an improvement upon GRACE in terms of the time-averaged geoid.

Discussion in 'The Logo Creator' started by Dan Locke, Sep 13, 2013.
Here's a youtube video of what happens when I attempt this:
Please help me.
You should try a thumb drive save if saving to your desktop isn't working.
Thanks, I tried that and that did not work.
Here is one thing that is applicable. I did a clean reinstall of Mac Lion and then restored LC with Time Machine. It used to work fine before that, but now it's doing this. I will write Marc and ask for a new dmg. Seem right?
I looked and found that I still had the 6.0 dmg and so I used CleanMyMac to completely uninstall 6.6. I then installed 6.0 and then upgraded to 6.6. I then tried again and got the exact same behavior when trying to save the .swf to either my hard drive or a thumb drive.
I'm a Windows guy, but boy oh boy! do I have some crazy ideas......
Any chance you have a SSD, and have the main Logo creator EXE file (Which can be anywhere on your computer) on the SSD, but have the laughingbird documents folder on another hard drive?
After your re-installing of 'Lion' you might find it wise to check the status of your Adobe Air.
Try looking up your order if necessary at http://www.laughingbirdsoftware.com/order-lookup/
Gcuneo2, no I don't have a SSD (as I understand what an SSD is). Pretty sure, anyway. KD-did, I have adobe air current and still having this problem not being able to save SWF files.
If your Adobe Air isn't running correctly then your TLC won't run correctly. Maybe a re-install is in order.
I have the most current Adobe Air installed and approximately 7 other AA programs running perfectly. I am concerned that if I uninstall this, the programs will cease to work and I might have to reinstall again.
Hi there Dan!
Really sorry to hear this.
I thought we had this bug fixed.
It only happens in Lion, not Mtn Lion.
If you purchased the Logo Creator from the Apple store, the new version (v6.7) is ready and you can download it from the Apple store menu.
If not - the new v6.7 will be out VERY shortly (a few days).
The new version will fix the SWF output.
Sorry for the sloggy delay in getting to this thread.
KD tried every trick in the book :D
but in the end. It's a bug.
- Marc
Hey, thanks for the reply! Glad to know that we will soon have an update that's going to fix it. I got it directly from your site, Marc, so I'll be patient.
I tried upgrading my system to Mountain Lion but it brought difficulties, and so the Mac guys said I should downgrade back to Lion. Glad to know your new version is going to work for us Lion People.
It's an excellent forum... no upsets from me to find myself in the company of so many good people. People going out of their way to help each other and all in good cheer. I LOVE forums like this.
Any more idea as to when 6.7 will be released?
Hi there Dan.
Well... after all this time, guess what.
SWFs just can't output on Mac Lion.
We've tried everything.
the Good news is that SWF output works great in the new Mavricks OS (10.9).
And the better news is that Mavricks is FREE from Apple.
It takes about 30 minutes to install (directly from the Mac App store) and the whole computer feels faster after you update.
I've been using in for a few weeks and I love it.
And, The Logo Creator outputs SWF files on it.
Let me know if you're able to update the OS Dan
(and incidentally... it's much easier to move to Mavricks than it was to go from Lion to Mtn Lion I'm happy to say)

Discussion in 'Parker Crossbows' started by Buck Buster, Jan 15, 2011.
Does anyone had any problems with the cable slide of the Buck Buster?
I had my Terminator lose a cable slide, Parker sent me a couple and it has not had another one come out ,give Parker a call they have been great about helping me out .Bud
what problem exactly?
If by problem you mean the slide backing out, not uncommon. Fist make sure the slide is in installed correctly, grooves should match the angle of the cables, etc.. Next, wax the cables to reduce friction. If all else fails, change the cables side to side. Don't know why it works but that did the trick on my Terminator.
I know there was some cable slides that went out that where a little thicker than normal and may bind a bit when cocking.
Hello guys thanks for info. I was shooting the bow, and suddenly wierd shot. I found out that cable slide sprung out. I called Parker and they send me a new one. If install this new, should the problem be over? How do you instal the new one? i never had this problem before.
The slide has grooves that match the angle of the cables, into which the cables fit. Slide it in, Try to get some wax, or teflon or silicone spray, on the forearm groove where the slide fits to lube it''s passage.
Thanks, i will try this.

Mohali, May 16: Two-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) thrashed Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) to finish the league phase of IPL 2015 as the number 1 team.
Scorecard; IPL Special; Points Table; Photos
At the PCA Stadium today, CSK produced a fine all-round performance to defeat KXIP by 7 wickets. They romped home to victory chasing a low score of 131. Faf du Plessis was the top scorer in the match with 55.
CSK ended their league stage with 18 points from 14 games. They will now play in Qualifier 1 on 19 May at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. They wait to find out who their opponents will be.
KXIP's dismal season ended at the bottom of the table. They managed to win only 3 matches in 14. They finished at No. 8 with just 6 points. Last year, they were the finalists, losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Bengaluru.
Earlier, a clinical performance by CSK bowlers restricted the KXIP to 130 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Axar Patel's late flurry lifts Kings XI
The CSK bowlers were at the top right from the beginning and didn't allow the home team much space to score. A late flurry by Axar Patel (32 off 29 balls; 2x4s, 1x6) lifted the Kings XI after they were reduced to 55 for 5.
Pawan Negi most successful bowler for CSK
For the CSK, Pawan Negi was the most successful bowler with 2 wickets for 25 runs while Ishwar Pandey, Ashis Nehra, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo took a wicket each.

Nine ladies stone circle is a bronze age stone circle on Stanton Moor in derbyshire, england. Stanton moor has many prehistoric remains, cairns, standing stones and stone circles. It is part of the Peak District National Park, and is much visited by walkers, and seasonal ceremonies are performed at the site by various pagan groups.
|The King Stone
There are nine upright stones and one which was discovered in 1976 lying flat, and another stone called the King Stone about 50 yards to the south west.
Legend says the stones are the remains of dancing witches who were turned to stone for dancing to the sound of the devils fiddle, but when the full moon shines on the circle the ladies move around in a ritual dance once more.
These lovely photographs were taken by my friend Clare.

Best Travel Time to Tibet
When is the best time to visit Tibet? We may get different views from different person because Tibet is such an attractive place for lot of people, presenting its breathtaking landscape and unique Tibetan culture of all year round. Travelers have different interests and purposes, so every single month can be the best time to visit Tibet.
Though summer is widely regarded as the best time to travel to Tibet, some travelers prefer to travel to Tibet in autumn when the landscape of Tibet is most colorful. While some tourists love to go to Tibet in winter which is the best time to experience Tibetan pilgrims' religious life.
Hence, what's the best time to visit Tibet depends on each tourist's interests and what are in their consideration, such as climate condition, Tibetan festivals, monthly highlights of Tibet and the cost of tour.
Most Ideal Weather to Visit Tibet in a Year - Summer & Autumn
If we only take weather into consideration, April to October or summer to autumn is the best time to visit Tibet, when the Tibet's weather is not too harsh and most areas of Tibet are accessible. In addition, it is also the best time to visit well-known tourist sites in Tibet, such as Mount Everest and Lake Namtso.
The Lowest Cost Season to Visit Tibet - Winter
Cost on a tour is also a key concern for travelers and may be different in low and peak season. Logically, the prices of hotels, air tickets and tour services would be decreased in the low season and increased in the peak season.
If you are a shoestring traveler, you are highly recommended to travel to Tibet in winter which is the cheapest season to visit Tibet, with great discounts on kinds of fees. Besides, you will witness flocks of Tibetan pilgrims in Lhasa, especially in front of Jokhang Temple.
Visit Tibet for Tibetan Festival Experiences
Travelers interested in traditional festivals and customs of Tibet should not miss interesting Tibetan festivals. For them, the best ones to visit Tibet are the famous Tibetan New Year, Saga Dawa Festival (religious month) and Shoton Festival (yogurt festival).
Most Tibetan festivals are celebrated according to Tibetan calendar which is quite different from western ones. Therefore, travelers should first check the updated Tibetan lunar calendar's festival when making a tour plan to Tibet.
Best Trekking Time in Tibet
It is fantastic to make a trek tour in Tibet to explore the hidden attractions of Tibet, but it is not good time in winter. During winter, not only the mountains are inaccessible but the highways that take you to the trail heads which are blocked if it snows. It is extremely cold in mountainous areas of Tibet in winter. Thus, it is not suitable to do a trek in Tibet in winter.
Many people may think that rainy season should be avoided to trek in Tibet. In fact, rather rainy season is the best time for trek, as the weather is mild and the ground in mountain valleys turn green and alpine flowers bloom in profusion. And the best time to trek in Tibet is in spring and autumn, when it's not too cloudy and not so rainy but it is bit cold in spring.
Just a Reminder
Joining in a small group tour is the very BEST way for solo travelers or traveling Tibet on a budget!
As the Pioneer of Tibet Tourism for global tourists since 1984, TIBET VISTA has been the FIRST TOUR OPERATOR of running join-in group tour business in local and with ability of organizing over 5000 visitors a year. For Tibet Vista's special contribution to Tibet Tourism especially to Mt. Everest Tour, we were the ONLY company awarded by Tibet Tourism Bureau Shigatse "THE EXCELLENT ORGANIZER OF MT. EVEREST TOUR "in 2015.View our Tibet Small Group Tour
