On his radio show, newly hired CNN commentator Glenn Beck called Cindy Sheehan "a pretty big prostitute" but later agreed that "tragedy pimp" would be a more accurate term for Sheehan.
Loading the player reg...
On the January 10 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Glenn Beck called anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan "a pretty big prostitute," later amending, at the behest of his executive producer, Steve "Stu" Burguiere, that "tragedy pimp" would be "the most accurate description."
Beck referenced Sheehan during what he called a "search for the biggest prostitute," which, he said, sought to answer the question, "Who'll do anything for power or money?" The game initially pitted former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss against Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), and suspended Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens.
Beck, who claims that his radio show is "ranked as the 3rd most listened to talk show in America among Adults 25-54," was recently hired to host his own program on CNN Headline News.
From the January 10 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: Honestly, who's a bigger prostitute? Heidi Fleiss or Terrell Owens? Who's the person out there -- who's the bigger prostitute: Heidi Fleiss or Howard Dean? No, not even Howard Dean. John Kerry. Who's the bigger prostitute? Who'll do anything for power or money? I mean, at least Heidi Fleiss -- this is saying something -- at least Heidi Fleiss will admit to being a prostitute. You know what I mean? At least she'll say, "Hey, I'm doing it for cash."
BECK: Cindy Sheehan. That's a pretty big prostitute there, you know what I mean? I mean, more of a -- Stu, what did we call her when she was in the news? Not a prostitute.
STU: Yeah, we eventually got to "tragedy pimp." Because we believe she's actually pimping the prostitute out.
BECK: Correct.
STU: Which I think is actually the most accurate description.
BECK: Pretty hard to beat prostituting your son's death. Don't you think?

Stylist: Clinton Rushing
Clinton is great with curls, and giving cut advise. I was recommended to him by someone at my Dr's office with curly hair, and now my best friend and I both actually look forward to getting our curls cut! He cuts the hair dry so you get a nice shape, and he is a master of the shampoo, you get a neck massage! I am so excited to not be searching for a great stylist and salon anymore.

Kasich taking State of the State to northeast Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich says he'll deliver his annual State of the State speech in Medina.
"We try to go to communities that will be impactful where they can display their history and their strength," Kasich said.
The speech will be delivered on Feb. 24 during a joint session of the General Assembly at the Medina Performing Arts Center.
Medina is hometown of GOP House Speaker Bill Batchelder. Kasich's likely Democratic rival Ed FitzGerald, of Cleveland, oversees government in neighboring Cuyahoga County.
"It's also terrific that it's the home of the Speaker who has dedicated his entire life to public service and to Ohio so it's kind of a nice way to honor him at the same time," Kasich said.
It's the third time the Republican governor has moved the traditional joint legislative session outside of Columbus.
Kasich made history in 2012 when he moved the speech from Columbus to the eastern Ohio industrial city of Steubenville. That was a year after his first such speech, delivered at the Statehouse, was marred by labor-fueled protests.
He delivered last year's speech in Lima, in northwest Ohio.
"Steubenville felt right because of its size and the need to have some recognition in Ohio. Lima was terrific. They were so excited down there to kind of show off the city which was good," he said.
State Sen. Larry Obhoff, a Medina Republican, says he's happy to host the governor and the rest of the General Assembly.
"I think it's great, frankly, that the governor will be in Medina hearing from the people," he said.
State Rep. Ron Gerberry is again voicing opposition to moving the speech.
"The State of the State Address should be held in the Ohio House chamber," he said.
The Austintown Democrat says it's a tradition and it should be upheld. He wonders what reaction would be from Republicans if President Barack Obama were to move the State of the Union Address out of Washington.
"This is not about Republican John Kasich. It's about the office of governor asking the members of the General Assembly to move the State of the State. It's wrong," he said.
Gerberry said they were lucky no one was involved in a serious crash trying to return to Columbus after last year's address in Lima. The area was hit by cold temperatures and snow. It also meant a 5 hour drive for Gerberry, who is from northeastern Ohio.
"There's a reason why the State of the State is held in Columbus, it's because it's in the middle of the state," he said.
He plans on voting against moving the speech, but knows he'll be outnumbered.

In his latest Data Points blog post, Boise School District Superintendent Dr. Don Coberly takes a closer look at the results from a just-completed survey of a proposed modification to the 2018-19 school calendar.
With a focus on student achievement, the District is considering modifying the 2018-19 calendar to end First Semester prior to the Winter Holiday Break, which will result in ending the school year before the Memorial Day weekend - the last week of May.
The results of the school calendar poll administered last month show 85% of Boise District patrons and staff in favor of the calendar modification proposal. If implemented, the new school calendar would go into effect for the 2018-19 school year.
Data Points is dedicated to providing student achievement and education trend analysis and is intended for parents and patrons interested in an objective, data-driven look at student performance in Boise and across Idaho.

Research and surveying are crucial so as to generate a knowledge-base of national biodiversity, such that in turn necessary measures for its protection can be considered. They also aid for the establishment of a sound ecological network of protected areas.
The Authority's main contribution towards biodiversity research is in relation to the setting up of biodiversity research and communication policy, rather than to scientific research itself. Through national law it has the obligation to promote research. Indeed, research initiatives have been promoted and supported. Various calls for tenders were issued along the years for the collation of information on threatened, endemic and alien species. Another commissioned study specifically focused on Posidonia oceanica meadows, amongst others.
Furthermore, staff at the Ecosystems Management Unit is involved in selected ad hoc surveys as required, often related to the mapping and assessment of important habitat types and species. Selected surveys include:
Additionally, research work carried out by local experts throughout the years has greatly aided in collating invaluable information about local biodiversity. The areas of study are various, and include botany, entomology, mammalogy, ornithology, malachology, ichthyology and arachnology. Communication between local experts in such fields and the staff at the Ecosystems Management Unit has positively benefited the knowledge base of the status of biodiversity found in the Maltese Islands and surrounding waters. Since a considerable number of national experts serve as academic staff at the University of Malta, a description of the work that they carry out can be found on the website of the University of Malta. Some of these local experts were involved in the commissioned tenders mentioned above, and/or were involved in the data collation to compile the datasheets and maps in relation to sites selected for inclusion in the Natura 2000 network. The Authority then supports selected research, such as that carried out by students following relevant courses at the University of Malta, including BSc and MSc courses in biology; research includes vegetation surveys, amongst others.

GFCI Code?
I had my safety inspector do a walk through the other day at work, and he is telling me that I have to have a GFCI for the coke machine, refer., and microwaves in our breakroom. Basicaly he said every recep. should be GFCI protected.
Is this right?
Sorry if I am asking a question that has been beat to death. I did do a search, but didn't really find what I was looking for.
Under the 2008 NEC the following locations would need GFI protection for personnel; Bathrooms, Kitchens, Rooftops, Outdoors, and if the receptacle was within 6' of the outside edge of a sink.
Commercial occupancies. Per 210.8, you must install GFCI protection for all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles located in bathrooms, rooftops, and kitchens in commercial/industrial facilities.
Now the question is, what constitutes a Kitchen?
Kitchen. An area with a sink and permanent facilities for food preparation and cooking.
-- New for 2008 NEC. (If that's applicable in your area).
IMO the microwaves are not permanent*, so it's not a kitchen. (Do you even have a sink in there?) But I guess that's open to interpretation.
*Edit: Err, unless they are permanently mounted/built in, of course.
Thanks for the replys guys.
I guess the refer compressor kicking on, isn't enough of a fluctuation to cause the GFCI to trip?
A Safety Inspector is usually not the same as a County/City Electrical inspector.
Your employer and or insurance company may have much more strict requirements than the NEC.
You could ask your Safety Inspector to show you the Code he is quoting from. They usually like to be respected as a Teacher.
NEC Art. 90.4 Enforcement.
This Code is intended to be suitable
for mandatory application by governmental bodies that exercise
legal jurisdiction over electrical installations, including
signaling and communications systems, and for use by
insurance inspectors. The authority having jurisdiction for
enforcement of the Code has the responsibility for making
interpretations of the rules, for deciding on the approval of
equipment and materials, and for granting the special permission
contemplated in a number of the rules.
By special permission, the authority having jurisdiction
may waive specific requirements in this Code or permit
alternative methods where it is assured that equivalent objectives
can be achieved by establishing and maintaining
effective safety.
This Code may require new products, constructions, or
materials that may not yet be available at the time the Code
is adopted. In such event, the authority having jurisdictionthis Code adopted by the jurisdiction.
may permit the use of the products, constructions, or materials
that comply with the most recent previous edition of
NEC Art. 210.8 (B) Other Than Dwelling Units.
All 125-volt, singlephase,
15- and 20-ampere receptacles installed in the locations
specified in (1) through (5) shall have ground-fault
circuit-interrupter protection for personnel:
(1) Bathrooms
(2) Commercial and institutional kitchens—for the purposes
of this section, a kitchen is an area with a sink and permanent
facilities for food preparation and cooking
(3) Rooftops
(4) Outdoors in public spaces—for the purpose of this section
a public space is defined as any space that is for
use by, or is accessible to, the public
Exception to (3) and (4): Receptacles that are not readily(5) Outdoors, where installed to comply with 210.63
accessible and are supplied from a dedicated branch circuit
for electric snow-melting or deicing equipment shall be
permitted to be installed in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Article 426.
I hope this info helps.
reefer? you musta been a Navy man?
Just make sure that if the GFCI should happen to break as soon as the inspector leaves, you don't accidentally replace the refrigerator GFCI with a regular outlet. That would be bad, of course. :laughing:
Work places tend to be inspsected closer then homeowners work around here.
The UL standard for acceptable leakage is many times lower than the trip level for a GFI. If it were to trip it is doing its job. Which would you rather have, a spoiled refer of food or someone getting shocked or worse?
Even sump pumps are required to be GFI protected. Dead people are worse than a flooded basement.

Williamsburg Hipsters on a Testy Trip to the Beach
A day trip to the beach seems simple enough. But for a pair of twenty-something hipsters from Williamsburg, making it from their apartment to Fort Tilden in The Rockaways becomes a journey that tests friendships and life choices. There are even some adorable kittens and a cast of eccentric Brooklynites along the way.
That's the premise of the film Fort Tilden. It won a grand jury prize at this year's South by Southwest festival and was co-written and co-directed by Sarah Violet-Bliss and Charles Roger.
Roger said part of what makes the movie funny is the fact that the characters at times aren't very nice.
"A lot of the comedy from the film comes from the fact that they do say terrible things about other people and they make the wrong choice throughout the film," Rogers said.
Bliss said that while the film is a comedy, some parts carry deep moments for the characters and movie watchers. "Figuring out, accepting things that are unattractive about yourself and narrowing down what you want in life."
The film debuts Saturday at Vuture Festival at Tribeca Cinemas.

In this series of articles, Xianzhong Zhu will provide you with a detailed tutorial on using Visual Studio 2010's built-in unit testing framework to develop ASP.NET MVC 3.0 based applications. In this first article, he'll focus on the fundamental concepts and tooling support in Visual Studio 2010.
In recent years, Test-Driven Development (TDD) has become a hot technique in software development industry. According to the TDD philosophy, we should first write unit tests based on product specifications, and then write the source code that is required to make the tests succeed. In response to this, Visual Studio provides a couple of related facilities, especially an excellent built-in unit testing framework (in short, MSTest). And also, the latest Visual Studio 2010 supports a new feature named "Generate From Usage", through which we can generate new types and members in the source code promptly when we first reference them in our test cases before they are defined.
In this series of articles, I will provide you a detailed tutorial in using Visual Studio 2010's built-in unit testing framework to develop ASP.NET MVC 3.0 based applications. In this first article, we are to focus upon the fundamental concepts and tooling support in Visual Studio 2010.
The test environments we'll utilize in the sample applications in this series contain:
1. Windows XP Professional (SP3);
3. Visual Studio 2010;
4. ASP.NET MVC 3 RC (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=a920ccee-1397-4feb-824a-2dfefee47d54);
5. Microsoft Northwind sample database;
6. The famous and simplest mocking library - Moq 4.0 (download address: http://code.google.com/p/moq/downloads/list).
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a technique that adheres to the "Test First" principle of Extreme Programming (XP). TDD is a revolution for developers to shift from writing code first and then testing it to writing the tests first and then writing the code to satisfy the tests afterwards.
Test first programming bears a couple of benefits. First, if we have a better understanding with the target project requirements prior to starting coding, then we will be in a good position writing the tests for that code and therefore the set of tests represents the acceptance tests for that code. Second, having defined the set of tests you can then write the code to satisfy them. Knowing that you are looking to pass the tests really helps focus the developer's mind on writing the minimum code to satisfy those tests.
Unit testing is the cornerstone of Extreme Programming, which relies on an automated unit testing framework. This automated unit testing framework can be either third party, e.g., xUnit, or created within the development group.
As you can image, the tests (of course including unit tests) should be sufficient and comprehensive enough. Only this precondition is met can the above benefits be valid; otherwise, the unit tests will become empty words.
Following good Test-Driven Development practice, before you do anything else, you first write a test. You don't write any application code until you have a test for the code.
To write meaningful unit tests that can be well-read, developers are suggested to follow the A-A-A (Arrange-Act-Assert) pattern. In detail, first we arrange all necessary preconditions and inputs. Then, we act on the object or method under test. Finally, we assert that we have the desired result. In practice, this can be translated easily into testing ASP.NET MVC controllers:
1. Arrange: Instantiate a controller object (in DI scenarios, you may need to supply mock versions of any dependencies as constructor parameters).
2. Act: Run an action method, passing sample parameters and collecting the ActionResult.
3. Assert: Assert that the ActionResult describes the expected result.
Look at the following example.
The above loggic is east to follow. First, we create an instance of the controller class ProductController. Then, we invoke the action method Index of the controller instance and get the returned result. Finally, we make two assertions: 1. is the view Index rendered or not; 2. is the view name is empty or not.
Next, let's look at how Visual Studio 2010 provides support for test-based development, especially unit test related stuff.
Visual Studio 2010, as the industry leader among tons of software development tools, has introduced a number of support tools for testing. In this section, let's make a short summary around them.
Visual Studio 2010 defines a couple of tests support, including Basic Unit Test, Coded UI Test, Database Unit Test, Generic Test, Load Test, Ordered Test, Unit Test, Unit Test Wizard, and Web Performance Test. Some of these tests should be used together with TFS, covering a wide range of development knowledge.
Considering the scope of this series, we are only to introduce some of them.
1. Ordered Test. This kind of test is used to group all or some of the above tests and then execute them in the same order. The main advantage of creating the ordered test is to execute multiple tests in an order based on the dependencies. For example, Web Performance Tests might depend on the results produced by executing the unit tests. So we need to run these tests in an order so that the Unit Test can be executed before starting the Web Performance Tests.
2. Generic Tests. This kind of test provides ways to integrate third-party tests into Visual Studio. There could be applications which use third party components or services which have to be tested as part of the whole system testing. Do remember that, in this case, we cannot have our own custom test methods or testing created for the third party component as we may not know the logic and the details of how the component is built. In order to test the third party component, Generic Test types in Visual Studio act as wrappers for executing these third-party tests within the boundary of Visual Studio. Once they are wrapped, we can execute these generic tests like any other test through Visual Studio IDE.
3. Load Testing. This kind of test corresponds to the process of putting demand on a system or device and measuring its response. Load testing is performed to determine a system's behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation. When the load placed on the system is raised beyond normal usage patterns, in order to test the system's response at unusually high or peak loads, it is known as stress testing.
There is little agreement on what the specific goals of load testing are. The term is often used synonymously with software performance testing, reliability testing, and volume testing. For a detailed story related to load testing with Visual Studio 2010, you can refer to this article.
4. Web Tests. This kind of test allow you to simulate a user performing a set of operations – typically a defined use case – on ASP.NET Web applications, and validate the responses to see if the application is working as expected. Once you have our Web tests defined, you can knit them together to create a load test to see how well our application performs under stress. It's always better to test our Web applications early to detect performance problems.
5. Coded UI Test. This kind of test provides functional testing of the user interface and validation of user interface controls. Automated UI tests enable you to test that the user interface is functioning correctly after code changes. They are quicker to run than manual tests. Therefore, you can run them more frequently.
Next, let's focus upon the really interesting topics associated with Unit Test in Visual Studio 2010.
At most time, when you are writing the code for our test methods, you use the methods of the Assert class. The last line of code contained in most test methods uses the Assert class to assert a condition that a test must satisfy in order for the test to pass.
1. Static class - Assert
Visual Studio 2010 defines a static class Assert achieving these functionalities with a couple of static methods as follows.
The following lists some of the commonly-used members:
When an Assert method fails, the Assert class throws an AssertFailedException.
2. Static class - CollectionAssert
There is a special class for testing assertions about collections named the CollectionAssert class. In detail, the CollectionAssert class supports the following static methods:
3. Static class - StringAssert
There is also a special class, named StringAssert, for performing assertions about strings. In detail, the StringAssert class supports the following static methods:
There are many attributes defined inside the namespace Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting. Let's enumerate them one by one.
1. The mandatory attributes
When we build tests, we will use the following two attributes:
When building tests, you should always use the [TestMethod] and [TestClass] attributes.
2. The other important attributes
Besides the above two mandatory attributes, there are several other useful, but optional, test attributes. For example, you can use the following attribute pairs to setup and tear down tests:
Consider such an example - you want to create a fake HttpContext that you can use with all of our test methods. You can setup the fake HttpContext in a method marked with the [ClassInitialize] attribute and dispose of the fake HttpContext in a method marked with the [ClassCleanup] attribute. To do with such a case, we will generally resort to some mocking tools, such as Moq (open source), Rhino Mocks (open source), and TypeMock(commercial).
Here is a simple example using the above two pairs of attributes.
In essence, this is rather standard behavior for test suites: setup and teardown before and after each test. The philosophy is that tests should not depend on each other. If you do want another behavior, you should probably use static objects that persist between each test.
3. Other optional attributes
There are still several attributes that you can use optionally to provide additional information about test methods. These attributes are useful when you are working with hundreds of unit tests and you need to manage the tests by sorting and filtering the tests:
As for the first three attributes, from the naming, you can easily deduce their respective usages. But for the last one, I want to give more explanation. First of all, please look at the following code.
Running the above two tests, you will find they can both pass. Here, there are some points worth stressed. First, the TestContext property is a special place to hold shared information provided to unit tests. Especially, its Properties property is a good place to store name/value. Next, when you test the first method TestAgainstDefaultSetup the method MyInitialize should run first. But at this time, the TestContext.Properties does not contain a name named thing. So, the variable _thing is assigned to "default". Hence, the method TestAgainstDefaultSetup can easily get passed. Third, when you test the second method TestAgainstCustomSetup the method MyInitialize will again run first. But due to the attribute instance [TestProperty("thing", "non-default")] decorating the method TestAgainstCustomSetup, the TestContext.Properties is stuffed into a name called thing. And also, the corresponding value is "non-default". So after the MyInitialize executes, the variable _thing contains a value "non-default". So, as you image, the second method can also easily get passed.
[TestProperty("thing", "non-default")]
Now you can find where TestProperty shines is that the properties for the current test can become available during the MyTestInitialize method. That means we can bung a whole bunch of common setup code into the MyTestInitialize method, and parameterize its behavior based on properties defined on the tests themselves.
At last, please note the TestProperty attribute can be specified on a test method. There can be multiple instances of this attribute to specify more than one item. Refer to code in Listing 5.
4. The [Ignore] attribute
Sometimes, you may want to temporarily ignore tests upon some methods. In this case, you can fall back upon an attribute named [Ignore]. This attribute is useful when one of our tests has a problem and we just don't want to deal with the problem at the moment. In another word, [Ignore] enables us to temporarily disable a test.
Note we can use this attribute on either a test method or an entire test class.
5. The [ExpectedException] attribute
Last but not the least attribute is [ExpectedException], with which we can assert that a test method should throw a particular type of exception. Please consider the following example.
Herein, we expect to see a DivideByZeroException type of exception. In this case, the ExpectedException attribute comes to help.
Visual Studio 2010 can generate the new types and members for us with minimal interruption to our workflow. This owes to a new feature named "Generate From Usage" introduced in Visual Studio 2010. In details, it can help us create stubs for types, methods, properties, fields, or constructors without leaving our current location in code.
Apparently, the Generate From Usage feature can be used with test frameworks that integrate with Visual Studio. In this section, we are going to demonstrate the Generate From Usage feature in combination with Microsoft Unit Testing Framework.
Follow the steps below to generate a sample solution sketch.
1. Start up Visual Studio 2010.
2. In the "New Project" dialog box, select the "ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Application" template to create a solution named Mvc3UnitTestDemo.
3. Click OK. And then, the "Create ASP.NET MVC 3 Project" dialog box is displayed, asking us to select the template, view engine, and whether to create an associated unit test project.
4. Make related selections. And also, make sure the checkbox "create a unit test project" is selected, as shown in Figure 1 below.
Note also, in the figure we select "Visual Studio Unit Test", the built-in test framework. As a result, the final solution Mvc3UnitTestDemo contains two projects, one named Mvc3UnitTestDemo and the other named Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests.
Suppose that we want to build an online MIS system based upon the Northwind database. Consider a case that we want to create a Details page displaying details for a specified Employee. We pass a query string that contains an employee Id to the Details page, and the Employee details are retrieved from the database and displayed.
Following good Test-Driven Development practice, we first write a test before doing anything else. We don't write any application code until we have a test for the code. The tests for the Details page act as a criterion for success.
To create a successful Details page, we design the following test targets:
Now, let's start with the first test. According to the first test, if an EmployeeID is not passed to the Details page, an exception should be thrown. We need to add a new unit test to our test project.
Now, right-click the Controllers folder in the Test Project Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests and select "Add | New Test". Then, select the "Unit Test" template (refer to Figure 2), and name the new unit test EmployeeControllerTest.
Do remember to select the appropriate approach to add unit tests. If you right-click the Controllers folder in the test project and select "Add | Unit Test", then you enter into the Unit Test Wizard starting with a dialog shown in Figure 3. This wizard will generate a unit test that executes within the context of a web server. This type of unit test is not appropriate for Test-Driven Development because it just takes too long to execute.
Next, we should replace the automatically generated method TestMethod1 with the following:
Our initial aim is to test whether an exception is thrown when the Details page is requested without an EmployeeID. Note the second attribute [ExpectedException] sets up an expectation for the test. If executing the test method does not throw an ArgumentNullException, then the test fails. We want the test to throw an exception because we want an exception to be thrown when the Details page is requested without an EmployeeID.
Obviously, up till now, we have not created the EmployeeController class. So this test will fail. Note that is just what we want. According to Test-Driven Development philosophy, we first write a test that fails, and then write code to fix it.
Now, let's click the menu "Test | Run | Tests in the Current Context" or press Ctrl+R+T to run the current test. As you can image, we will meet first a compile error before running the unit test, as shown in Figure 4 below.
Then, click "Yes" to continue the process. Note Visual Studio will not continue any more, but stop with an "Error List" window showing the compilation error to be corrected.
Well, now we have to define the class EmployeeController first so as to run the test. Now, the "Generate from Usage" feature comes to help. Please refer to the following steps:
1. Right click the class EmployeeController.
2. From the popup menu select "Generate | New Type..." (Not "Generate |Class", which will generate a file under the current folder. This is not what we want).
3. In the popped "Generate New Type" dialog box, select and populate contents, as shown in Figure 5.
4. Click OK.
As supposed, a class named EmployeeController is automatically generated into a file EmployeeController.cs under the path Mvc3UnitTestDemo\Controllers. This is what we just want. The only drawback is the following two namespace references (they are nearly the MUST HAVE in each controller definition) require you to manually provide:
But a good thing is the following namespace reference is added to the unit test file automatically:
Now, rest the mouse pointer over the smart tag corresponding to the undefined method Details to see an error message indicating that no method named Details is defined yet. Click the smart tag or press CTRL+. (CTRL+period) to open the "Generate From Usage" shortcut menu, as shown in the following Figure 6.
Then, click the prompt string. You will see a related method named Details automatically added to the above class EmployeeController. Listing 8 gives the related code.
A related trick is you should not put any parameter in the above method Details in the test class before using the "Generate from Usage" support; otherwise, you will not launch the good "Generate from Usage" functionality.
Now, return to the test class and run test again. You will fail the test, as shown in Figure 7.
The result is easy to understand - we want to the test method throws an ArgumentNullException. Since we've pass none argument to the method, the test fails. For this, let's modify the method Details in the controller.
And, correspondingly, we modify the invocation in the test class, as follows:
Now, run the test again. As expected, the test passed, as shown in Figure 8 below.
Similarly, you can generate a property stub using the "Generate From Usage" feature. Due to space limitation, you can figure it out yourselves.
Till now, we can easily create corresponding tests for public class, methods, and properties. Then, how about testing private ones?
According to good Test-Driven Development practices, we should test all our code, including the private methods in our application. In the MSTest case, you can test both public and private methods using unit tests.
Although we can manually code unit tests to test any method, this task is more difficult for private than for public methods because it requires a deeper understanding of the intricacies of reflection. Then, how does Visual Studio come to help?
In Visual studio 2010, when we generate a unit test for a private method, a private accessor is automatically created. A private accessor is a method that the test method uses to access the private code. The unit test generates a call to the private accessor, and then calls the private method through the private accessor. The private accessor resides in a file that is part of our test project; therefore it is compiled into our test project assembly.
For example, imagine that you want to test a class named MiniCalculator that contains a private method named Add(). You can right click this class and from the popup menu click "Create Private Accessor | Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests", as shown in Figure 9.
A tiny trick associated with the "Create Private Accessor" feature is you should not put the class that contains private/static members in the test project (in our case Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests); or else, you will not find the "Create Private Accessor" option from the shortcut menu.
After that, a Test References folder (see Figure 10) is added to your test project and an accessor is added to that folder. The accessor is also referred to in the logic of the unit test method.
After you create the accessor, you can use it in the unit test code to test the Add method. But wait a moment; let's first look at the accessor class:
Now, we can right click the project Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests and click "Add | New Test...|Unit Test" to generate a test file MiniCalculatorTest.cs. The unit test in Listing 12 tests whether the Add method returns the right result for 12.12+55.43.
Notice that the Add() method is called on instance of the MiniCalculator_Accessor class rather than the MiniCalculator class itself. Because the Add() method is private, you can't call it directly on the MiniCalculator class. However, the generated MiniCalculator_Accessor class exposes the method just fine.
In essence, if you prefer, you can generate the accessor class from the command line. Visual Studio includes a command line tool named Publicize.exe that generates a public façade for a class with private members. Please refer to this article at MSDN.
The second method for testing private class methods is to use reflection. By taking advantage of reflection, you can bypass access restrictions and invoke any class method and access any class property. The test in Listing 13 uses reflection to call the private MiniCalculator.Add() method.
The code in Listing 13 calls the private static Add() method by calling the Invoke() method on a MethodInfo object that represents the Add method.
The last note is, for static members you can also use the above means, but the related example should rest on yourself.
By the way, there are other non-recommendable ways in testing private/static methods. For example, you can use PrivateObject and PrivateType (both located in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting namespace) to achieve the aim. For more details, please refer to this article at CodeProject.
To see what proportion of your project's code is actually being tested, you are highly suggested using the code coverage feature of Visual Studio 2010. To do this, you should first edit the run configuration to indicate the assembly containing the code whose coverage you want to measure; then, run tests on that code. After all that, detailed code coverage statistics appear in a window.
The following illustrates the rough steps to make preparation for code coverage analysis- generate a code coverage related configure file, and make simple configuration.
1. Right click the solution root Mvc3UnitTestDemo, and select "Add | New Item...".
You can right click neither the Mvc3UnitTestDemo project nor Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests; or else, you cannot add the test settings file.
2. In the "Add New Item" dialog, from the Installed Templates click Test Settings, you will see a screenshot shown in Figure 11.
3. Click the Add button. After that, a dialog Test Settings appears, as shown in Figure 12 below.
4. Click the Apply button. Then a file named TestSettings1.testsettings is generated under an independent folder Solution Items. After that, you can double click this file to re-modify your configuration.
5. Click Roles to switch to the Roles page. Since we want to run our tests locally, we select Local execution from the Test Execution method list box.
6. To start up code coverage test, you should also click Data and Diagnostics panel to tick the Code Coverage checkbox. After that, select the check box for Code Coverage and then click Configure located immediately above the list of diagnostic data adapters. From the Code Coverage Detail dialog box to select the artifacts that you want to instrument. Figure 13 illustrates our interested selection.
In the above sample, since all our test related files are located in the project Mvc3UnitTestDemo.Tests, we made the corresponding selection.
7. Now click the menu item "Test | Run | Tests in current Context" to test the method DivideTest. After that, click the menu item "Test | Windows | Code Coverage Results" and you will see a similar screenshot as shown in Figure 14.
Note that you can also click the "Show Code Coverage Coloring" icon to see what parts get executed in the current test context.
As you've seen, the Code Coverage tool is a great help in test driven development. In fact, we've only scratch the surface of Code Coverage related topics. For more details, you can refer to MSDN and all related links.
In this article, we have covered the basic aspects for test-driven development supported in Visual Studio 2010. As mentioned in the context, Visual Studio 2010 provides abundant and even complex supports towards various kinds of test related topics.
An important point that every developer should bear a clear understanding with is Test-Driven Development is neither applicable to all application development nor a cure-all universal immortality. Tons of tests might potentially add both complexity and bugs to the target system. Even under the cases that are applicable to Test-Driven Development, we should try our best to list the testing targets as clearly as possible, rather than carry out tests without purpose.
Anyway, our main interests lie in the ASP.NET MVC 3 related stuff. So, this article just serves as an elementary start to Visual Studio 2010 Unit Test novices. Starting from the next article, we will shift our attention to ASP.NET MVC 3 related unit test topics.

Sales of online games were worth 1.3bn yuan ($157m; £86m) in 2003, the China Games Publishers Association (CGPA) survey found.
It said 14 million people regularly played online games in China, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
This represented an increase of 45.5% on 2002, the report said.
IT sector analysts in China say reliable data on the country's online games market is hard to come by, but it is undoubtedly growing rapidly.
China's top home-grown internet portals such as Sina.com and NetEase - both of whom have US stock listings - are slugging it out for domination, along with games developers like Shanghai firm Shanda.
Fear of piracy has shaped the country's online games market, whose most popular products are multi-player PC based games.
Console-based games giants Nintendo and Sony have steered clear of China, though privately imported boxes are available and Nintendo recently unveiled a games console designed especially to protect against the country's rampant software piracy.
CGPA carried out a nationwide survey in association with overseas IT analysis firm IDC which received 180,000 responses, Xinhua reported.
A separate report on internet use showed the number of surfers in China rose 34.5% in 2003 to 79.5 million people. It was issued by the official data-collector China Internet Network Information Center (Cnnic).

#1421: My Dog Hates You Too
We stopped tallying the hate mail we've received at Car Talk years ago. But one letter still remains on top of our pile of vituperative missives: this week's offering from one Melissa Peterson, a.k.a., "That Little Twerp." Maybe it was her need to let us know that her dog hates our show as much as she does. But Tom and Ray will soldier on, despite Melissa's wrath, and try to convince Gloria that shutting off her car while going 80 miles per hour is not a great way to address its acceleration problems. Elsewhere, Tracy wants to blame her mom for her Civic's electrical system going wacko; and Tammy is trying without success to convince her husband that Boston drivers aren't the worst in the world. And, can Evan find a car with a gas pedal that won't destroy his knee? All this and more, this week, on Car Talk.

Adding Techniques Can Enhance Your Practice
By DCPI Staff
To help you enhance your practice and increase your bottom line, Dynamic Chiropractic PracticeINSIGHTS asks practicing DCs just like you for ideas and solutions that have been tested in real-world environments. In this issue, we asked: "How has adding techniques (both manual and mechanical) enhanced your practice and which have been most beneficial?"
From your responses, we found insightful feedback and a variety of methods for adding techniques that are beneficial to many practices.
Hardware Helpers
Many of you have introduced new mechanical techniques from seminars and workshops you've attended and you're having great success incorporating them into your practice.
For example, Deann Lanahan (Ohio) said, "I attended a Neuromechanical Seminar on the Impulse adjusting instrument. I was impressed with its efficacy and protocols so I purchased one and introduced it in my office. The patients love it and I have had great clinical success with its use. It does a wonderful job on extremity issues."
Said Paula deManicor (Tennessee), "Having been a CA since 1978, I have watched the trends of chiropractics move from the ol' faithful genie rub, traction and EMS to spinal decompression, light therapy and exercise programs. Now, chiropractors are adding non-invasive cosmetic equipment such as G5 Lypossage and Ultra Contour, and diet and nutrition, to enhance their practice with more cash flow and provide any alternative to surgery, whether it be spinal or not! It seems to be working well by adding these services and thinking outside of the box."
Another popular, and successful, addition to many practices has been the promotion of therapeutic exercise as a key part of the treatment protocol.
"I have almost every patient with low back, pelvic and/or lower extremity complaints sit on an exercise ball prior to their adjustment," said Dennis Smith (Texas). "They are given 10-15 minutes to perform a sheet of lumbopelvic ROM exercises.
"Not only am I able to bill for NMR (proprioception), but it is a great way to get the patient's pelvis loosened up prior to their adjustment. Most patients end up purchasing a ball (which we sell in our office) in order to do the exercises at home between visits because they can feel a difference almost immediately. It is a win-win situation, because while the patient feels better and sees more rapid improvement, we can bill for rehabilitation and make a profit off of the balls that we sell," Smith said.
Lary Spiller (Washington) added: "There's a whole array of rehab exercises that can be incorporated into the smallest of spaces, so it behooves all DCs to improve their bottom line by providing additional positive services that benefit the patient."
Manual Techniques
Some of you feel that updated manual techniques are the way to success in any practice. Here's how one long-time chiropractor incorporated these techniques into his practice.
"In my 38 and a half years of practice, manual muscle testing helped me to locate what otherwise would have been missed subluxations." John Tyner (Washington). "For instance, this technique helped me find a subluxated hip that was causing a migraine headache a patient was suffering. Once it was adjusted, her headache that was on the same side as the misaligned hip completely dissapated. I know of no other diagnostic technique that would have located this situation in such short order."

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. - The University of North Carolina men's cross country team placed second at the 2013 ACC Championships on Friday with a team total 84 points while the women placed ninth. Ryan Walling, John Raneri, Pat Schellberg, and Isaac Presson each earned All-ACC honors for their finishes in the men's 8K and Annie LeHardy and Lizzy Whelan won All-ACC honors in the women's 6K.
The top 21 individuals receive All-ACC honors for the cross country conference championship. Carolina had the second-most All-ACC honorees among the men's teams with four.
"I don't know if you can ever expect those kind of individual accolades in this conference," said head coach Mark VanAlstyne after the meet, "There's so many good individuals and great teams that any time you have someone in the final win All-ACC is a huge accomplishment. To have six on the day says something about our individuals and everything they've worked for so far this season."
Walling led the team with his sixth-place 24:14.8, Raneri placed 10th in 24:20.8, and Schellberg finished 14th in 24:25.4, and Presson took 16th in 24:32.7. Rounding out the Tar Heels' top-five was Matt Valeriani, who placed 39th in 24:58.9.
"I think [the men] had another solid race in a stream of solid races this year," said Coach VanAlstyne, "I think they're naturally disappointed to get second when they thought the had a chance to win it but at this stage in the game all the teams are good. I just think they ran well.
"On a positive note, I know for a fact it's left them hungry and they want more," Coach VanAlstyne added, "I'm excited to see them in two weeks [at regionals] and again in three weeks at nationals."
This is Raneri and Schellberg's second cross country All-ACC honors and the first for Walling and Presson. Schellberg was a 2012 All-ACC honoree in his junior season and Raneri earned the honors as a sophomore in 2011. Presson has earned All-ACC honors on three occasions in his track career.
"I was thrilled for Ryan because he just missed last year getting All-ACC, he was one spot off," said Coach VanAlstyne of Walling's first conference honor and adding, "Isaac has been a force in the ACC in the middle distances for so long to have a coming out party his senior year and be effective in cross country is special. Those four [men] are the nucleus of our team. We just have to get a few more up there with them and we'll be a force for years to come."
The Syracuse men took the team title in their first ACC Championships, beating the Tar Heels by just 20 points. Andrew Colley of NC State was the individual champion with his time of 23:37.9, nearly 25 seconds faster than the field.
Also racing for Carolina were Scott Morgan (41st, 25:03.1), Mike Jacobs (49th, 25:12.6), Jack Driggs (53rd, 25:16.9), and Steve Magnuson (72nd, 25:42.8).
LeHardy led the Tar Heel women as she finished sixth in 20:28.4. Whelan placed 21st in 21:13.4 to secure the last All-ACC spot for the women. Kylie McCoy placed 47th in 21:48.7, Ashley Miess took 67th in 22:07.2, and Caleigh Bachop finished 74th in 22:13.4 to round out to top five scores for Carolina's 204 point-total.
"On the women's side Annie LeHardy - we talked in our meeting last week of her potential to finish top 10 in ACC - to back it up and go out and do it is phenomenal," said Coach VanAlstyne, "I was thrilled for her because it has been a tough for her up to this point."
This is the first cross country All-ACC honors for LeHardy and Whelan. LeHardy won track All-ACC honors for her third-place finish in the 1,500 at the outdoor conference championships last season.
Also racing for Carolina were Malia Cali (88th, 22:29.6), Doria Kosmala (103rd, 22:51.3), Sami Jorgensen (104th, 22:53.9), and Grace Morken (120th, 23:28.0).
The Florida State women won the team title and Juliet Bottorff of Duke was the individual champion with her time of 20:05.9.
Carolina will next compete at the Three Stripe Invitational at WakeMed Park in Cary, N.C., on November 9th. Following that meet is the NCAA Southeast Regional in Earlysville, Va., on November 15th.

Overall Experience
Great experience
June 21, 2017
I loved the room, the staff and experience. You guys rock!!!!
Great Stay
June 20, 2017
The pool area was nice and neat. Great for a large or small group. The two bedroom was a great size and even better that it had two bathrooms. This is the second time I have rented this room and I would definitely do it again. The complimentary breakfast was great.
Handicap Bathroom
June 14, 2017
We asked for a handicap bathroom and we got one. It was fine except for the bathtub. We would prefer a shower in a handicap bathroom due to the fact its hard for a handicap person who has problems with her legs to cross the the bathtub.
Comfortable place to stay
June 12, 2017
My stay in this hotel was short, but very comfortable nevertheless. Attentive staff, clean hotel and very well maintained. I was upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite for being an IHG member, the only downside about the decor was, it seemed a little dark and gloomy through the hallways. But that's a personal preference I guess.
The breakfast could also be improved, but I am comparing against Holiday Inn brands and am not sure what to expect with Stay-bridge suites

(Apr. 8, 2011) On March 23, 2011, the Australian government promulgated a regulation that will prevent lenders from charging mortgage exit fees. (Press Release, Hon. Wayne Swan MP, Exit Fee Ban – A Victory for Australian Families (Mar. 23, 2011).) The measure is aimed at allowing borrowers to exit their mortgage in order to obtain better interest rates or conditions from another lender. Currently, exit fees may reach as high as AU$7,000 (about US$7,320), which may negate any benefit that could be obtained from switching lenders. (Malcolm Farr, Mortgage Exit Fees Officially Banned, THETELEGRAPH.COM.AU (Mar. 23, 2011).)
The government stated that the ban on exit fees will "help boost competition in the home loan market over time" as consumers will be able to easily change to a different bank or other lending institution if their current one is not offering a good deal. (Press Release, supra.) Some of the major banks had already abolished exit fees prior to the new regulation's enactment. However, some smaller lenders have stated that it will lessen competition because they will be forced to reintroduce higher establishment fees and interest rates to cover costs, and the larger banks will be able to take advantage of this. (Peter Ryan, Small Lenders Rail Against Exit Fee Ban, ABC NEWS (Mar. 24, 2011).)
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) already has the ability to investigate and prosecute banks in relation to unfair exit fees applied to both new and existing mortgages. The ASIC can also prevent banks from labeling an unfair exit fee as another type of charge. The official ban on exit fees will apply to all new home loans taken out after July 1, 2011. (Press Release, supra.)

Solange Knowles, Glamour party, November 2012
Solange Knowles is one of those women that could throw on bright pair of heels and a slash of bold lipstick and make a hessian sack look like the epitome of chic. Innate style, she has it in spades. The thing is, no matter what you try, you just can't manufacture innate style. Moving on, and let's take a close look at this colourful ensemble. Is it just me or can you see a face in the print? Perhaps it is one of those illusions that tells you what kind of person you as to whether you see a face or, say, a pineapple. The print is excellent but there are three other key factors that make this look. The gold bangle type heels, the coral lipstick and that glorious head of hair. In spades, I tell you, in spades.
