ANTHONY TEMPLETON | November 3rd, 2012
THE only available block of land on Castle Hill Rd could be turned into a car park to help ease parking congestion during peak walking times, if Townsville City Council is prepared to pay a seven-figure sum for the site.
The block's owner, Joanne Taylor, the wife of prominent lawyer Barry Taylor, said the site had huge potential to be turned into a community area with barbecues, a viewing platform and dozens of parking spaces.
Residents who are concerned about rampant illegal parking in the area say the idea would benefit the community and increase the number of spaces available.
Stanley St residents Kirsteen and John Masson said the council should consider buying the site as part of a wider solution.
"It's a fantastic location and would be a great spot to put a cafe as a bit of a halfway point up the hill," she said.
"I think the last thing people would want to see is that block stacked in with more houses or units, which would increase the parking problem."
Mr Masson said the council should take the lead in trying to fix the parking problem by putting up new signage on Paxton St and promoting the area as the start of a dedicated Castle Hill walk.
"There should be signs similar to the 10,000 steps sign off (Cudtheringa) track," he said.
Mrs Taylor said the land was perfectly positioned to be turned into a community space.
"After we decided not to build on the block I have thought it would be perfect for a viewing platform with some barbecues and car parking," she said.
"It's the last block you are going to be able to get on Castle Hill because the rest is a reserve and it would make a fantastic community space.
"But that's up to the council to decide if they want to make an offer.
"It makes absolutely no difference to us who we sell it to."
Mrs Taylor said she had spent more than $350,000 connecting electricity and sewerage to the site, as well as gaining council approval to sub-divide the block into four land parcels.
"The council wouldn't have to spend anything except putting some bitumen over (the site) to get it prepared to become some sort of community space," she said.
Deputy Mayor Vern Veitch, who represents the area surrounding Castle Hill, said there were no plans for the council to acquire the block of land.
"The council won't be looking to purchase an expensive block on the private market to turn into a car park," he said.
"Especially when there is a car park opposite Panorama House (now demolished), which is almost never full.
"It doesn't represent good value for ratepayers."
Regular walker Chelsea Leyden-Duval said she thought turning the site into a carpark would help.
"I always walk up the hill in the middle of the day because it's easier to find a park and I work nights," she said.
"Otherwise it just takes to long to find a park and get your walk done when you are in a rush."

I like your story. My son was also 7 lbs 11 0z when he was born and I had a 26 hr. labor. No other children. I'm a grandmother, now. It's even better than being a mother, except my son and his family moved cross country to be near his wife's parents. Oh well, usually, women do like to be near their own parents, once they have a baby.

Styf: Family comes first for Bears – as it should
I was pacing the third floor waiting room in the birth center of the hospital in Beaumont, Texas, wondering what I would do.
It was early on a Wednesday morning late in 2010, I was in a new state on the other end of the country and within minutes my second daughter would be born. I was in that waiting room, watching my oldest daughter, wondering what to do.
I needed someone to watch her before I was allowed into my wife's room and didn't have a lot of numbers to call for help.

Muscato's Musings
Brent Musburger Is All Right With Me
In Celebration of Beautiful Women
Here we go. Count me in on those who think the media is all out ridiculous in criticizing ESPN play by play announcer Brent Musburger for his nice and totally cool compliment on the looks of Katherine Webb, girlfriend of University of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, during the telecast of Monday night's national championship game between the Crimson Tide and Notre Dame. Heck, I'm a Notre Dame fan, and I could be thankful for a distraction from what was going on on the field. Here is what Brent Musburger – yes, he's 73 – said when the camera panned to the stands and took in a shot of both Ms. Webb, and McCarron's mother: Now when you are a quarterback at Alabama, you see that lovely lady there, she does go to Auburn, I want to admit…

I didn't watch the game, but heard the flak. I actaully thought Brent said something to HER, the way the media was making it sound! (Sort of like Broadway Joe did to the ESPN reporter) Geez...give this one a rest. Have we really become a country where we can no longer hand out positive compliments without being railed for it? If so, we're a sorry bunch.   more ›

Selenium is a Web testing framework that establishes a new approach to validating Web applications. Unlike most Web testing tools, which attempt to simulate HTTP requests, Selenium approaches Web testing as if it were the browser itself. When you run an automated Selenium test, the framework fires up a browser and actually drives the browser through the steps delineated in the test, just the way a user would do when interacting with your application.
Selenium also distinguishes itself from many application testing frameworks by making it easy for both developers and non-developers to write tests. In Selenium, you can author tests programmatically or using Fit-style tables, and once you've authored a test you can fully automate it. It is easy to use an Ant build (for example) to run your entire Selenium test suite and it's also possible to run Selenium tests in a Continuous Integration (CI) environment.
This month, I'll introduce Selenium and walk you through the features that make it a standout Web application testing framework -- especially when combined with the likes of TestNG, DbUnit, and Cargo.
Programmatic testing with Selenium
In Selenium, you can author tests programmatically using the language of your choice or via Fit-style tables. From a testing standpoint, the process and results aren't much different regardless of which one you choose. I'm interested in exploring Selenium's programmatic approach here because it offers some interesting possibilities when combined with TestNG.
One advantage of using Selenium programmatically with a framework like TestNG is that it allows you to create intelligent fixtures, which is challenging to do with Fit-style tables. TestNG is an especially good match for Selenium because it enables you to do some things that aren't possible using other frameworks, such as test using dependencies, rerun failed tests, and set up parametric tests with the parameters defined in separate files. Having all of these features together would be notable in any Web application testing framework, but being able to use them in a fully automated acceptance test is outstanding, as you'll see.
The Selenium architecture essentially consists of two logical entities: the test code you write and the Selenium server, which facilitates interactions with the application under test. For your tests to successfully execute, both the Selenium server instance and the application under test must be up and running. (The outcome of the test depends on how well you've written the application, of course!)
Fortunately, the Selenium server is a lightweight process that can be
programmatically started and stopped within the confines of an actual test.
Starting and stopping a Selenium server (which is embodied by
the Selenium
object) is the responsibility
of a fixture.
To programmatically start a Selenium server, you must create a new Selenium
object and tell it which compatible browser to
use -- I use Firefox for the following examples. You must also provide a
location where the server instance should run (localhost
is typical, but not required) and then the
base URL for the application under test.
In Listing 1, I configure a local instance of Selenium
to drive Firefox at a locally installed Web
application (http://localhost:8080/gt15/
). As you
can probably infer from the arguments, the Selenium
object acts as a proxy to the
application under test, and accordingly facilitates testing it.
Listing 1. Configuring SeleniumServer
Selenium driver = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", SeleniumServer.getDefaultPort(), "*firefox", "http://localhost:8080/gt15/"); driver.start(); //go to web pages and do stuff... driver.stop(); |
Once you've created an instance of Selenium
, you can start
and stop
it while it's running. This means you
can interact with the Selenium server programmatically and have it drive the
browser through a test procedure.
Programmatically interacting with Web pages is an exercise in using logical ids. (Some readers will be familiar with this concept from February's article about TestNG-Abbot.) The first step to interacting with a page element is to find it, which you can usually do using HTML element IDs. Selenium also allows you to use XPath, regular expressions, or even JavaScript to locate specific elements, if you so desire.
The HTML in Listing 2 is part of a simple Web application that uses
Groovlets. The code defines a form that contains one input and a
submit button. If I want Selenium to interact with this form, I must provide
an ID for the input and a corresponding value. I also need to provide an ID
for the submit button, so that Selenium can "click" it. Once clicked, the
form will be submitted to a Groovlet -- in this case FindWidget.groovy
Listing 2. A simple HTML form
<form method=post action="./FindWidget.groovy">

 Widget:	 <input type="text" name="widget">

 	 <input type="submit" value="Find Description" name="submit">

 </form> |
I can now programmatically interact with the HTML form by using the IDs widget
(to enter a value) and submit
(to click the button), as shown in Listing 3:
Listing 3. Driving a simple Web page
driver.type("widget", "pg98-01"); driver.click("submit"); driver.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); //assert some return value... |
Selenium's API for interacting with Web page elements is quite intuitive.
For input fields, I can use the type()
method to
associate a value with an ID. I can then programmatically click
buttons if I want to. In Listing 3, I
make Selenium wait 10 seconds -- long enough to allow the form-submit request
to finish processing. Once the code in FindWidget.groovy
runs its course and returns a
response, I can use it to find specific page elements and verify that everything
worked properly.
TestNG's flexible and parametric fixtures make it an excellent workhorse for defining Selenium's driven acceptance tests. Add in TestNG's ability to define test dependencies and rerun failed tests, and it's a no-brainer that Selenium-plus-TestNG is a winning combination.
Let's start with a Web application that allows users to create, find, update, or delete widgets. Creating a widget requires three attributes: a name, a type, and a definition. The form to create a widget is shown in Figure 1:
Figure 1. Creating a widget Web form
Note that the form element Type is a drop-down list with three different choices, as shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2. The Web form contains a drop-down list
Clicking Create Widget forces a Groovlet to process the request. If everything is all right (that is, the name and definition are not blank and the instance isn't already in the database), the Groovlet creates a new widget instance and returns a status page like the one shown in Figure 3:
Figure 3. The returned Web page displays a status
Using Selenium along with TestNG to verify the simple Create Widget use case is a manageable exercise:
- Configure and start an instance of the Selenium server.
- Interact with the Create Widget Web form and submit it.
- Verify that the resulting page contains a success message with the widget's name.
- Stop the Selenium server instance.
Note that each step in the use case is done via Selenium -- TestNG just helps with the plumbing, so to speak. Now let's give it a try.
I'd like the configuration of the Selenium server to be flexible, so I'll
write a parameterized fixture (TestNG-Selenium style) that I can
then use to generically create Selenium servers for different browsers,
different locations, and even assorted Web application addresses (like localhost
and production, to name a few). Listing 4 defines my flexible
Selenium server fixture:
Listing 4. A flexible Selenium fixture
@Parameters({"selen-svr-addr","brwsr-path","aut-addr"}) @BeforeClass private void init(String selenSrvrAddr, String bpath, String appPath) throws Exception { driver = new DefaultSelenium(selenSrvrAddr, SeleniumServer.getDefaultPort(), bpath, appPath); driver.start(); } //.... @AfterClass private void stop() throws Exception { driver.stop(); } |
I have to link the parameter names with values in TestNG's testng.xml file; consequently, I define three
parameter elements as shown in Listing 5. (I default the brwsr-path
parameter to
Firefox, but I could just as easily define a new set of tests using Internet
Listing 5. Parameter values in TestNG's testng.xml file
<parameter name="selen-svr-addr" value="localhost"/> <parameter name="aut-addr" value="http://localhost:8080/gt15/"/> <parameter name="brwsr-path" value="*firefox"/> |
Next, I define the test case shown in Listing 6, which also takes a parameter for the base URL of the application under test. This test forces the browser to open a specific page within the Web application and manipulates the form shown in Figure 1.
Listing 6. A sunny-day test case
@Parameters({"aut-addr"}) @Test public void verifyCreate(String appPath) throws Exception { driver.open(appPath + "/CreateWidget.html"); driver.type("widget", "book-01"); driver.select("type", "book"); driver.type("definition", "book widget type book"); driver.click("submit"); driver.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); assertEquals(driver.getText("success"), "The widget book-01 was successfully created.", "test didn't return expected message"); } |
Once the form is submitted via the driver.click("submit")
call, I force Selenium to wait
for the response to load and then I assert the presence of a successful
creation message. (Note that the response Web page has an element whose ID is
Putting this all together yields a flexible test class that verifies two scenarios: a sunny-day path and an edge case where no definition is provided, as shown in Listing 7:
Listing 7. The whole deal via TestNG
public class CreateWidgetUATest { private Selenium driver; @Parameters({"selen-svr-addr","brwsr-path","aut-addr"}) @BeforeClass private void init(String selenSrvrAddr, String bpath, String appPath) throws Exception { driver = new DefaultSelenium(selenSrvrAddr, SeleniumServer.getDefaultPort(), bpath, appPath); driver.start(); } @Parameters({"aut-addr"}) @Test public void verifyCreate(String appPath) throws Exception { driver.open(appPath + "/CreateWidget.html"); driver.type("widget", "book-01"); driver.select("type", "book"); driver.type("definition", "book widget type book"); driver.click("submit"); driver.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); assertEquals(driver.getText("success"), "The widget book-01 was successfully created.", "test didn't return expected message"); } @Parameters({"aut-addr"}) @Test public void verifyCreationError(String appPath) throws Exception { driver.open(appPath + "/CreateWidget.html"); driver.type("widget", "book-02"); driver.select("type", "book"); //definition explicitly set to blank driver.type("definition", ""); driver.click("submit"); driver.waitForPageToLoad("10000"); assertEquals(driver.getText("failure"), "There was an error in creating the widget.", "test didn't return expected message"); } @AfterClass private void stop() throws Exception { driver.stop(); } } |
So far, I've defined two Selenium tests that are flexible enough to
facilitate testing with multiple browsers and against multiple locations, which
is pretty good for a beginner. Getting a little more advanced, though, I want to start thinking about whether the logic in my tests is repeatable. For instance, what will happen if I run the CreateWidgetUATest
test class twice in a row? How can I be sure that my Web application is running with the latest version of the code on my local machine, or on any machine, for that matter?
Both the Selenium server and the Web application to be verified must be running when executing Selenium tests. By implication, all the associated architectural dependencies of the application must also be running -- which in the case of most Java™ Web applications means a Servlet container and an associated database.
As I explained in my article about repeatable system tests, DbUnit and Cargo are two of my favorite technologies for implementing logical repeatability in database-dependent Web applications. DbUnit manages the data in a database and Cargo automates container management in a generic fashion. The following sections show you how the two work together with Selenium and TestNG to ensure logically repeatable acceptance tests.
As you might recall, DbUnit facilitates working with databases by effectively managing their data within the context of a test scenario. With DbUnit, you can load a known set of data into a database before a test, which means you can rely on that data being present during testing. What's more, you can also remove from the database any data created as a result of a test, once the test is done. DbUnit facilitates all this by acting as a convenient fixture -- whether it be in JUnit or TestNG -- that reads seed files containing test data and logically inserts, removes, or updates that data into corresponding database tables.
Because I'm using TestNG to drive Selenium, I'm going to
create a DbUnit fixture, which will run at the test level. TestNG
supports running fixtures at five levels of granularity. The lowest two,
method and class, are the most obvious -- a fixture for each test method or
one for the entire class. After these, TestNG defines a fixture
for a collection of tests (which are defined in TestNG configuration
files and designated by the test
element), a
fixture for an entire suite (which is a collection of a collection of
tests and designated by the suite
element), and
a fixture for a group of tests (which are defined in TestNG's Test
Creating a DbUnit fixture to run at the test level means that a
collection of test classes will share the same logic to properly seed a
database before you run any tests. In my case, I'd like the database to have a
clean set of data before each logical test collection is run. Using DbUnit's
command ensures that any rows
created in previous test runs will be removed -- hence, I can rerun a test
that creates data over and over again and not worry about database
What's more, I want my fixture to rely on parametric data, which will
give me the flexibility to switch seed files, and even the location of a
particular database, before a specific test run. Associating parameters with
TestNG couldn't be easier: all I have to do is decorate my fixture with the
annotation, declare corresponding
parameters in my method signature, and provide values in TestNG's
configuration file.
Listing 8 defines a simple DbUnit fixture that seeds a database with a desired seed file. Note that the fixture is defined to take five parameters. (That's probably too many, but isn't it cool having parameters in a fixture?)
Listing 8. A DbUnit fixture for a collection of tests
public class DatabaseFixture { @Parameters({"seed-path","db-driver","db-url","db-user","db-psswrd"}) @BeforeTest public void seedDatabase(String seedpath, String driver, String url, String user, String pssword) throws Exception { IDatabaseConnection conn = this.getConnection(driver, url, user, pssword); IDataSet data = this.getDataSet(seedpath); try { DatabaseOperation.CLEAN_INSERT.execute(conn, data); }finally { conn.close(); } } private IDataSet getDataSet(String path) throws IOException, DataSetException { return new FlatXmlDataSet(new File(path)); } private IDatabaseConnection getConnection(String driver, String url, String user, String pssword ) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException { Class.forName(driver); Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, pssword); return new DatabaseConnection(jdbcConnection); } } |
To associate real values with the parameters found in Listing 8, I have to define them in TestNG's testng.xml
file, as shown in Listing 9:
Listing 9. DbUnit-specific parameters defined in TestNG's testng.xml file
<parameter name="seed-path" value="test/conf/gt15-seed.xml"/> <parameter name="db-driver" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/> <parameter name="db-url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://127.0.0.1"/> <parameter name="db-user" value="sa"/> <parameter name="db-psswrd" value=""/> |
Now that I've defined a flexible fixture that handles database state and some corresponding tests, I'm ready to use TestNG to wire everything together. As usual, knowing what I want is the first step to achieving it. In this case, I'd like to achieve the following:
- I want my DbUnit fixture to do its thing before any logical collection of tests is run.
- I want to run the same collection of tests twice: once for Firefox and once for Internet Explorer.
It's a good thing for me that TestNG's parameter
elements are locally scoped. As a result, I can easily define generic parameter values in the TestNG configuration file and then override them if necessary in TestNG's test
grouping elements.
For example, to run two sets of tests, I simply create two test
elements. I can then include my fixture and associated
tests via TestNG's package
element, which
facilitates finding all tests (or fixtures) in a package structure. Next, I can associate the brwsr-path
parameter for
Firefox and Internet Explorer in the two defined test
groupings. All of this is shown in the testng.xml in Listing 10:
Listing 10. A flexible testng.xml file that forces the DbUnit figure to run
<suite name="User Acceptance Tests" verbose="1" >  <parameter name="seed-path" value="test/conf/gt15-seed.xml"/> <parameter name="db-driver" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/> <parameter name="db-url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://127.0.0.1"/> <parameter name="db-user" value="sa"/> <parameter name="db-psswrd" value=""/>  <parameter name="selen-svr-addr" value="localhost"/> <parameter name="aut-addr" value="http://localhost:8080/gt15/"/> <test name="GT15 CRUDs- Firefox" > <parameter name="brwsr-path" value="*firefox"/> <packages> <package name="test.com.acme.gt15.Web.selenium" /> <package name="test.com.acme.gt15.Web.selenium.fixtures" /> </packages> </test> <test name="GT15 CRUDs- IE" > <parameter name="brwsr-path" value="*iexplore"/> <packages> <package name="test.com.acme.gt15.Web.selenium" /> <package name="test.com.acme.gt15.Web.selenium.fixtures" /> </packages> </test> </suite> |
I'm pleased to announce that I have done almost everything necessary to create a suite of repeatable acceptance tests. All I have left is to handle the Web application container itself. Lucky for me, I have Cargo on my side.
Cargo is an innovative open source project that automates container management in a generic fashion, such that the same API used to deploy a WAR file to JBoss can also start and stop Tomcat. Cargo also can download and install a container automatically -- you can utilize the Cargo API a number of ways, ranging from Java code to Ant tasks and even Maven.
Using a tool like Cargo takes care of one of the major challenges to writing logically repeatable test cases, which is avoiding the underlying assumption that a running container has the latest and greatest application code. Furthermore, you can construct a build process (like within Ant) that harnesses the power of Cargo to automatically do the following:
- Download a desired container.
- Install the container.
- Start the container.
- Deploy a selected WAR or EAR file to the container.
At a later point, you can also have Cargo stop a selected container. (Oh, and there's no need to be alarmed about downloading and installing a container, either -- if the correct version of one is already on the local machine, Cargo skips Steps 1 and 2.)
I'd like to use Cargo to ensure the latest and greatest version of my Web application is up and running. What's more, I don't want to worry about where I need to deploy a WAR file, nor do I want to have to ensure the most recent WAR is being used. What I really want to do is make user acceptance testing a non-event -- I just want to issue one command, like ua-test
, and sit back and wait for the results. Even better, in a CI environment, I won't be waiting for anything; I'll simply get a notification at some point after the tests complete!
To set up Cargo within Ant, I need to define a task that downloads a specific version of Tomcat and installs it into a temporary directory on the local machine. Next, the latest version of the code (bundled in a WAR file) is deployed to Tomcat as shown in Listing 11:
Listing 11. A task to set up Cargo
<target name="ua-test" depends="compile-tests,war"> <taskdef resource="cargo.tasks"> <classpath> <pathelement location="${libdir}/${cargo-jar}" /> <pathelement location="${libdir}/${cargo-ant-jar}" /> </classpath> </taskdef> <cargo containerId="tomcat5x" action="start" wait="false" id="${tomcat-refid}"> <zipurlinstaller installurl="${tomcat-installer-url}" /> <configuration type="standalone" home="${tomcatdir}"> <property name="cargo.remote.username" value="admin" /> <property name="cargo.remote.password" value="" /> <deployable type="war" file="${wardir}/${warfile}" /> </configuration> </cargo> <antcall target="_start-selenium" /> <cargo containerId="tomcat5x" action="stop" refid="${tomcat-refid}" /> </target> |
The target in Listing 11 uses antcall
to invoke another target. In essence, the last cargo
task in Listing 11 wraps the _start-selenium
target and ensures that Tomcat is stopped after a test run.
In the _start-selenium
target, defined in Listing 12, I need to start (and later stop) the Selenium server. My tests will also connect to this server instance in their Selenium fixtures, by the way. Note how this target then refers to another target -- _run-ua-tests
(defined in Listing 13).
Listing 12. Starting and stopping a Selenium server
<target name="_start-selenium"> <java jar="${libdir}/${selenium-srvr-jar}" fork="true" spawn="true" /> <antcall target="_run-ua-tests" /> <get dest="${testreportdir}/results.txt" src="${selenium-srvr-loc}/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=shutDown" /> </target> |
Finally, the last target in the group is the one that actually runs my programmatic Selenium tests via TestNG. Note how I force TestNG to use my testng.xml file by using an xmlfileset
element in the _run-ua-tests
target in Listing 13:
Listing 13. Running the tests found in TestNG's testng.xml file
<target name="_run-ua-tests"> <taskdef classpathref="build.classpath" resource="testngtasks" /> <testng outputDir="${testreportdir}" classpath="${testclassesdir};${classesdir}" haltonfailure="true"> <xmlfileset dir="./test/conf" includes="testng.xml" /> <classpath> <path refid="build.classpath" /> </classpath> </testng> </target> |
As you have seen, Selenium facilitates user acceptance testing quite nicely, especially when driven by TestNG. While programmatic testing isn't for everyone (non-developers will likely prefer Selenium's Fit-style tables), it does give you access to TestNG's exceptional flexibility. Programmatic testing also allows you to build out your test framework with DbUnit and Cargo, thus ensuring the logical repeatability of your tests.
The evolution of open source Web testing frameworks is by no means finished, which is good news for code quality perfectionists. Selenium is one of the first of a new breed of open source, browser-driving Web testing frameworks that automate user acceptance testing -- and as such, it is outstanding. Combine Selenium with TestNG, as I've done in this article, and you've got yourself a great test driver, along with the considerable benefits of dependency testing and parametric testing. Give Selenium with TestNG a try -- your users will thank you for it.

Transform Your Data Storage Through Cloud
Cloud storage is making its way to everyone who uses the internet. This is backup storage utilizes the most modern means of storing your files. This type of storage is accessed through a web-based interface wherein you can readily access your files anytime, anywhere. Storage virtualization is can be both an advantage and disadvantage. When you use virtual storage, you are cutting off additional expenses. There is no need to buy for another hard drive, to contain your new data. There is no need to build a new server room or hire personnel to maintain and look after your files.
When your store your data virtually, you don't have to worry about lost files whenever your hard drive crashes. Cloud storage backs up all your files, with no down-time guarantee. One of the biggest apprehensions, however, is the security when you use virtualized storage. Backup storage though cloud, might put all your data the hands of the hackers. Virtual storage is an abundant source of information to hackers. To directly address this security concern, service providers have strengthened their security with tight encryptions using 24-bit SSL and fire wall systems, securing your data 24/7, all year round.
Another concern that most internet users are asking is the sustainability. What if your service providers cease its operation, what will happen to your files? In cases such as this, your present service provider may sell their company to a stable provider, in which you can still have access to your file.
While you may enjoy limitless unified storage or shared storage, it is crucial to know the service provider first before your sign up. Go for establish companies to avoid any problems that may result to lost data due to bankruptcy or any take over. Overall, cloud stage is cost efficient and safe; all you need to do is to choose the best service provider that is financial stable.

A new San Francisco massage parlor is offering a pricey beauty treatment that claims to lift more than just your eyebrows: a $350 slap in the face.
Tata Massage, opening Tuesday, advertises the face slapping treatment, which includes rigorous slapping, pinching and smoothing, as a natural alternative to chemical skin firming treatments like Botox.
Bangkok-native Tata, the owner of her eponymous San Francisco salon, claims the method has been passed down for generations, and promises the treatment will make patrons "so beautiful that [their] beauty will charm everyone" on her website.
But though the method's effectiveness might be questionable, Tata certainly did not dream up the idea: the treatment has gained popularity in Thailand. Tata is one of only ten licensed face-slappers in the world, and now the only one in the Western Hemisphere.
In theory, the treatment helps lift and firm up one's complexion without the use of chemicals. And some believe a similar method can firm and enhance breast size, as well.
A $350 slap in the face. Would you do it?

Meet Mitch Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's Father Talk
As an intuitive I love Synchronicities. I was invited to two different events in the same venue by two different sources. One was for a birthday of a dear friend and the other by a long time colleague and musician friend Rick Bogart.
Rick asked me to come and sing a few songs as well as hear Mitch Winehouse sing Jazz Standards. He is the father of the extremely talented Amy Winehouse who recently passed away.
You can clearly see and hear where she got her talent from by hearing him sing. I had the pleasure of interviewing him as my premiere guest for my show This is Diana here on BlogTalkRadio.
Mr. Winehouse began to sing a song he dedicated to his daughter titled "Meditation" by Antonio Carlos Jobin and I took a photo of him siinging. I got shivers down my spine as I looked at the photo and saw a beautiful ORB right next to his head. This ORB did not appear in any of the other photos. Please look up ORBS to see the significance of this. I believe this was his daughter with him and joining him in song. You can start here ORBS
The wonderful Rick Borgart was also interviewed as well and you can hear him perform in various New York City venues...contact me for more info on that.
This was just as I was about to consider another life path... What can I say? I am here to share light, healing, love, humor, music and this is one of the ways to do it.
By the way, the birthday boy Lucien and his lovely lady Anita had a wonderful huge birthday celebration, the fellow singers came out to sing and we all had a fantastic time. You can join it by listening here.
You can purchase Mr. Winehouse's CD produced by his daugher, "Rush of Love" on Amazon here.
Thank you and enjoy!

Benghazi: Diana West on the difference it makes
Diana West visits Freedom Radio to discuss last week's House Oversight Committee hearing on Benghazi. Asking what difference does it make whether four died because "of a protest" or "guys out for a walk one night who decided they would go kill some Americans" steers us to the wrong debate. The larger scandal is not the evolving White House talking points, the lack of military response on September 11, 2012, or drawdown of security in Libya prior to that date. During the hearing, former Regional Security Officer (for Libya) Eric Nordstrom started to explain why it has happened many times in the past and will keep happening in the future. Listen in as Diana tells us what was left unsaid.
Diana West is a syndicated columnist and author. Her latest book "American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character" will be released on May 28th. Her web site is DianaWest.net.

Text Your Ex Back Review – How Far Can You Use This System To Get Your Ex Back?
"Text messaging is the next best thing to telepathy," says Michael Fiore, the text messaging guy. "No matter what your purpose, text messages, written in the right way, will work wonders."
After his Text The Romance Back ebook, Michael is back again with another - Text Your Ex Back.
What is Text Your Ex Back all about?
Text Your Ex Back is targeted towards those broken hearted souls who break up with their partners, only to find out later that they want them back. But they don't know how exactly to get them back.
Are you one of them? If you are, then you might be facing such typical situations:
- You want to call your ex, but don't know what to say.
- Your ex doesn't answer your calls.
- Worse, your ex disconnects your calls!
- Of course, there's no question of your ex ever returning your calls.
In such a scenario, you always have one option left for you: text messaging. There's almost a 100% chance that your ex will at least read your text messages.
Think of yourself: if you were ever angry or upset with someone and refused to see them or take their calls, didn't you at least read their text messages?
The Text Your Ex Back ebook suggests trying out the exact same strategy to get your girl or guy back.
Some of the topics the Text Your Ex Back ebook covers are:
- What text messages to send in which situation.
- The right time to send particular text messages.
- What text a woman should write to a man, and vice versa.
- What to say and do after your ex starts to respond to your messages.
- What you should do to keep your ex for good after he/she has come back to you.
But what's so different about the text messages taught in this system?
Taking account of your particular situation (i.e., a breakup with your partner), your text messages will need to have a twist to them. After all, you'll be sending them with a purpose, an intention. And your intention is to get your ex back.
You can't send just any kind of text message and expect your ex to come running to your arms. And even a single mistake can be critical – even the slightest error on your part can turn the tables entirely against you.
So you need to know exactly WHAT types of text messages to send, and WHEN to send them.
That's where the Text Your Ex Back ebook comes in.
Through this ebook, Michael Fiore says he'll show you how you too can send simple but powerful text messages that will subtly but surely influence your ex's psyche to start thinking and feeling about you the way they did before.
In fact, this time, things are supposed to be even more effective.
Some of the things the Text Your Ex Back ebook will teach you:
- How to format your text messages in such a way that your ex will actually regret the breakup and may even start to feel guilty about it.
- How to make your ex remember why they fell in love with you in the first place, and the positive qualities in you that had once attracted them to you.
- How to slowly increase your momentum and bring the situation right up to a seductive level. You actually start using powerful and proven seductive techniques to make your ex want you again – this time a little desperately.
But let me warn you – with all the hype created by Text Your Ex Back (especially on the internet), one would think that this program teaches some sort of newly discovered magical formula that will pull your ex back to you like a magic charm. But I certainly can't agree with that.
I'd rather say that this system shows you how to play a sort of mental and emotional game with your ex. What's taught here are psychological tactics you can use to your advantage, but certainly not magic spells.
But if you sincerely follow the techniques taught in the Text Your Ex Back system, then all the odds should be in your favour. It should be you who holds the strings and controls the shots.
Do the techniques outlined in the Text Your Ex Back system actually work?
Well, Michael Fiore has years of experience in the dating and relationship field. So this guy would definitely know a thing or two about this topic.
What Michael outlines in the Text Your Ex Back system are tactics he has used in reuniting men and women – whether spouses, lovers or partners – and fixing up relationships more firmly than before.
About Michael Fiore, author of Text Your Ex Back:
Michael Fiore is a Seattle based dating and relationship consultant and trainer.
He's been featured on many blogs and radio and TV shows (like the Rachel Ray show).
After many years of helping broken hearted men and women get back with their partners, Michael picked out the tactics that generated the best results.
He then started writing about these tactics and publishing them as ebooks, so that people could benefit from them even without access to him directly.
Michael came into the limelight after experimenting with the powerful potential of simple text messages to influence the mind, emotions and behaviour of people.
He started instructing clients to combine his relationship repair tactics with the power of text messaging.
After quite a few clients reported success stories, Michael decided to write down his text messaging techniques in the form of ebooks.
Is the Text Your Ex Back system for you?
If you've had a breakup and are now pining to get your ex back, then you can give these techniques a try.
You can determine if you'd want to go further with this technique after watching Michael's introductory video in his official website.

Money for Goffstown ambulance is sought
Fire Chief Richard O'Brien presented the policy proposal to selectmen Monday, outlining plans to increase fees for ambulance services to the Medicare rate plus 35 percent, up from the current fee of the Medicare rate plus 20 percent.
Fees for such services as Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support, Specialty Care Transport and mileage would also be added as necessary.
"We need to adjust the way we establish our rates," O'Brien said, in order to be in compliance with the Affordable Care Act and to meet best practice standards for finance auditing.
O'Brien said his goal is to make sure there are enough money to sustain ambulance services.
"We need to look at it in a more assertive fashion," he said. "We need to be able to maintain our system and fund it."
Currently, revenues from ambulance billing are placed in the town's EMS Special Revenue fund for the purpose of maintaining ambulance service operations. The town collected $430,000 last year, O'Brien said.
One of the factors that drove the creation of the policy was an audit from 2011 that showed $337,000 in uncollected revenues for ambulance services, with $234,000 of that for accounts more than 120 days overdue.
"In plain English, there are a lot of old accounts out there," said Don Borror, the town's finance director.
O'Brien pointed out that the figure includes accounts dating to 2004 and 2005.
Balances that remain after payment by Medicare or Medicaid, which are not always aggressively pursued by the town, are included in that figure, O'Brien said.
In addition, O'Brien said nearly 30 percent of patients receiving ambulance services are without insurance or covered by Medicaid, in which the town is unlikely to receive the balance due.
The policy would give the department a method of collecting outstanding balances, while providing guidelines for hardship cases, and would also help determine whether an account is sent to a collection agency, reported to a credit bureau, or absorbed by the town.
Selectmen will review the final draft of the policy at their scheduled meeting on March 4.
