We got some RSpec with Capybara tests working.
We got RSpec to stop
complaining about Capybara being set as a global (see spec_helper
at the bottom).  Problem we did not solve is how to pick
a "New Story" link on a page in a way where we could
then find the fields in the form on the new story
page.  (We found something that does not throw an error
in finding the link
but then the text's fill_in method will not find the
fields that we need to fill in.)  lambda is a win!
