Chen ,
Thanks for helping me out here :). The true through is I don't known how to
build test correctly as a newb and thought it was better just to avoid it(stupid
me). I would like to known how to do this and if there is any way I can help you
guys out , please let me known :). I don't want to be avoided I am honestly here
to help make your life easier.
