Why is it that I always fall for the losers the ones who always break my heart an could look right in my eyes and lie to me. The type who screw me over every time. But when the sweet guys come around I screw that up because I think it's impossible for someone to actually love me and care about me. So I go back to the liars and cheaters because I guess I'm just so used to it.
I'm sixteen and have had a boyfriend for over a year but lately I've been thinking things I shouldn't be. When I was thirteen I dated my best friend who's a girl and I got scared and broke up with her now years later we are still best friends but I believe I've fallen in love with her and I'm scared because I love my boyfriend I don't understand why girls pretend to be bisexual for attention it's confusing and frustrating
I am madly in love with a woman, we are in our 40′s and she feels the same about me. But my problem is with her in the sexual department. She is not very sexual at all and gets all freaked out over everything. I am very very sexual and it is killing me. She does not like to talk about it at all, she gets embarrassed. We are 40 years old for crying out loud. I am starting to find myself looking at other woman. I am not asking her for wild crazy things, just a little umph in the bedroom.
I'm 17 in two weeks. My older cousins best friend is 24. We've been friends for a long time now, and I'm completely in love with him. He feels similarly about me, and it kills him that he feels that way, but he does. We can't be together, or act on this. It's illegal for him to kiss me, and I can't even hold his hand. We practically have to ignore our feelings, even though I'll be 18 in a year. It breaks my heart. 3
No one knows except a select few that i am a lesbian. i've been dating my gf for almost 6 years and no one knows. I feel so trapped when im around family and friends, especially since they can talk about their girlfriends and boyfriends openly because they're straight and thats acceptable in today's society. I can't come out because im still living at home and i live in the bible belt so i'd be ostracized because im in love. Im so afraid of my mom finding out because she's the only family i have left that cares. Im afraid of her being disappointed in me and kicking me out. But no matter what happens I love my girlfriend and i have the most amazing friends. I know i'll be alright in the aftermath of whatever i choose to do and no matter what I was born to survive.
I've been married for just over a year; we've been together for almost five years. I love my husband. He is an amazing person. He loves me and cares for me. He's everything I could ever ask for. But I'm afraid I am more than willing to throw it all away because I'm still in love with another guy. I have been for years, but I had lost touch with this person for a long time. We've recently reconnected and every deep feeling is still there. There is nothing wrong with my marriage, or my husband, but I find myself wishing that this reconnection would've come two years earlier. I would choose the other guy.
I let a complete loser, who plays me for a fool, control my happiness in life. All for the sake of not feeling alone. I hate that I let this even go on. The only thing I hate more than letting this go on, is no longer having control of my happiness. I know i deserve better. I can't bring myself to walk away, because I'm afraid once he's gone, my happiness might never come back. I don't know if better is really out there… I don't know what's worse anymore: staying, or leaving.
Not happy with my life.. I feel I am living a lie.. Do I love him? Do I want to go through with this marriage? Is this just cold feet? I wish he knew the things to say when I need reassurance… Can I count on him? If I'm asking this does this mean that I already have my answer?
For the first time in my life, I'm in love, and he has no idea. I've had long term relationships before, but this man is only a sex friend and I care more deeply and intensely for him than the guy I was almost engaged to, and he has no clue how much I feel for him.
You will never see this. EVER. I WILL die one day, and who will you will have? Your snarky mother? Or your father that NEVER EVER knew your worth. Your brother is the only one that gets you. At least you'll have him, but will he keep you warm at night?
A long time ago we had a massive fight and you told me to get out and I did. Tonight, I did the same thing to you. I needed you to go away but you didn't show me the same respect that I showed you and stayed. Turns out that I shoved you. Something I swore I would never do. I feel so terrible that I did this. I have no excuse at all except that as much as I adhere to you, you never adhere to me.
I sometimes think I have no power in this marriage. PERIOD. You will always make more money than I do unless I go back to school which I will now. I can't live like this.
I love you so much. You have no idea. I seriously think you hate me because I'm not the perfect, strong girl you married.
So there's this girl that I can't stop thinking about. Problem #1: She's dating this guy that is absolutely perfect for her. Problem #2: I'm a girl. Problem #3: I'm straight.
It's annoying, I've been in love before. I dated this guy I was crazy about for two years. I know all the feelings you get when you see someone that you're in love with. That twist in your stomach, how everything you say sounds ridiculous, how the room gets about 50 degrees hotter when they look at you and smile, how you always know where they are in a room. The weird thing is that I feel all of those things with her. I can't make it go away. I even dream about her. I always feel super lonely when I leave her. I like her boyfriend, and I like hanging out with them, we always have a good time, but whenever I'm walking to my car I feel like I want to cry. I listen to sad songs on the way home and I always stop for Starbucks. It's pathetic and I always feel like I've been through a breakup when I leave. I just don't know what to do. I think it's just a dumb girl crush because I know in the long run I want to end up with a guy. I even tried watching lesbian porn one time because I was curious and it totally grossed me out. The funny thing is, I hate her at the same time. She's so pompous and I always feel inferior with her. She insanely successful at everything she ever tries. If that song, "Anything you can do, I can do better…" ever came to life, it would be exactly like her. She judges me for the dumbest things, and she treats me like crap sometimes. I just hate, love, loathe, adore, despise, and absolutely idolize her.
I have been best friends with a guy for 7 years, and we got so close over the past year. I honestly think that I am in love with him; I think about him all the time, he is in all of my dreams, and whenever I am near him, I start getting all flirty and nervous and I always want to look good around him.
I want to tell him that I love him, but I don't want to ruin our friendship, and since I have so few friends to begin with, I am really hesitant to tell him. But recently, due to the deathly illness of a few family members, I have started feeling like I am willing to risk it because life is so short and you could die at any moment.
I just dont know what to do because I know for sure that I am completely, irrevocably, totally in love with him.

Most activities don't begin until Sunday, and the Republican National Convention doesn't officially kick off until Monday, but excited party members from across the county are beginning to make their way to St. Paul.
On an AirTran flight Saturday afternoon from Atlanta to the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, Cyndi Mosteller proudly sported a "McCain 2008" sticker.
The former chairwoman of the Charleston County Republican Party and alternate delegate from South Carolina said she's most looking forward to "just one thing" at this year's convention, her third: "McCain-Palin," said Mrs. Mosteller, 52, referring to Sen. John McCain's surprise selection Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
"The South Carolina delegation is just electrified by the choice of this woman." Mrs. Mosteller cited Mrs. Palin's efforts in government reform and firm pro-life stance — "walking the walk," as she put it — as reasons for her enthusiastic support of Mr. McCain's pick.
Dorothy Burger, of Summit, N.J., also could be heard discussing the first woman to be part of a GOP presidential ticket.
The 55-year-old said the first-term governor adds "more excitement to this election" and she could identify with the governor having a son serving in the military.
Mrs. Burger said she's looking forward to getting "a feeling for our purpose, our goals and objectives" at this year's convention, also her third.
And with an array of activities like volunteer events, receptions and a late-night boat cruise on her schedule, Mrs. Burger said she won't be too disappointed if she can't score an honorary delegate pass from her state party.
"It's just enough to be there, definitely," she said. "Even if I didn't get to do any of that."

For its 17th coaster, the thrill machine kings at Ohio's Cedar Point (God bless 'em) have decided not to attempt any height or speed records. In fact, when Maverick opens in 2007, it will scale a relatively puny 105-foot hill, and drop a mere 100 feet. From there, the coaster will mostly hug the ground. That doesn't mean maverick won't be a load of fun, however. With its low profile and wild layout, the near-ground-level maneuvers will actually seem all the more intense. And a mid-course launch through a darkened tunnel will be among the highlights of the rootin'-tootin' Western-themed ride.
Maverick Stats
- Type of coaster: Launched Steel Terrain
- Height: 105 feet
- First drop: 100 feet
- First drop angle: 95 degrees
- Top speed: 70 mph
- Track length: 4450 feet
- Ride time: 2:30 minutes
How the West was funThe sleek coaster will be located in Cedar Point's Frontiertown section. The compact three-car, twelve-passenger trains will be designed to look like they're from the steam locomotive era. But this won't be a relic of the Old West. A new-age magnetic launch system will quickly propel the trains up the lift hill--no traditional chain lift or pokey click-clack-clicking. The first drop will be a slightly more-than-vertical 95 degrees and will accelerate the trains to a respectable--but not face-melting--57 mph.
Rather than scale more hills, Maverick will remain close to the terrain. As it whizzes through low-slung arches and inverts a mere few inches from the ground, passengers will feel more vulnerable and the ride will seem more out-of-control than if the trains were soaring above the treetops. That's the intent of a terrain coaster. (A great example of a terrain coaster is the mountain-hugging Boulder Dash, an incredible woodie at Connectcut's Lake Compounce.)
Among Maverick's elements, it will perform a 360-degree corkscrew roll, bank at 72 degrees close to the ground, and then enter a second 360-degree corkscrew roll to right itself. (Appropriately enough pardner, Cedar Point calls the acrobatic trio a "twisted horseshoe roll.") It will also navigate a dizzying 360-degree heartline roll.
About halfway through the ride, Maverick will come to an abrupt halt inside a tunnel next to its loading station. A second magnetic launch will catapult the trains to 70 mph straight through the 400-foot darkened tunnel. Passengers will burst back into the daylight to face more terrain-hugging action.
Although Maverick will not reach nosebleed heights, Cedar Point promises that the combination of high speeds and low hills will nonetheless deliver some great moments of airtime and bone-crushing positive-G forces. Maverick is scheduled to open in the spring when the park opens for the 2007 season.
To view pictures of the new coaster, go to the Maverick Preview Photo Gallery. Animated preview videos of the ride include an aerial view, a point-of-view perspective, and a mixed-perspective action sequence.

The Oskaloosa Herald
George Daily Community Auditorium offers many cultural opportunities.
Jessica Vetter, operations manager at George Daily Community Auditorium, said Friends of the Auditorium is a non-profit organization. She noted there are corporate sponsors that help with things like contract fees for bringing in performances.
Vetter said because they want to make professional theater affordable in Oskaloosa, ticket prices are kept as low as possible.
"Really, the professional touring season that we bring in is an educational opportunity in and of itself," said Vetter. "So much of what we do is dependent on volunteers."
How many volunteers?
Vetter said it took more than 80 volunteers over the course of a day to bring "Spamalot" to Oskaloosa and make it work at the auditorium recently.
Friends of the Auditorium subsidize any losses through the season and helps bring in educational workshops and residencies, explained Vetter. She added, the Friends of the Auditorium supports the year-round youth theater program, as well.
A 12-week summer camp at the auditorium just wrapped up and an after-school theater program is set to begin shortly.
Missoula Children's Theatre is yet another opportunity for area young people at the auditorium. Vetter explained that Missoula Children's Theatre is in Oskaloosa for a week and provide everything one would need to put on a play, including sets, costumes and props. About 60 local children from kindergarten through high school are then cast for a particular play.
"It's always such an incredible thing to watch happen," said Vetter.
Involving young people in theater can teach them things like confidence and other valuable skills, Vetter said. As an adult, it's just as valuable, she said.
"Theater teaches us about our lives," said Vetter, pointing out that theater is one of the oldest forms of story telling. "There's nothing quite like live theater."
There are also opportunities for high school and William Penn University students, as well as community members interested in theater, at George Daily Auditorium, noted Vetter.
The annual Friends Drive fund-raiser for the auditorium started up again recently. Vetter said this comes at the same time when they announce what's coming for the new season at the auditorium.
The upcoming season is all "family friendly," Vetter pointed out. Season tickets are available for the professional season and three symphony concerts.

3-D Printing: Is It The Future Of Custom Bikes?
By Leif Haven
Next on the stand: Damian Bradley. His hiding plan hadn't really worked out. On the previous Friday night, Damian stuck his head out the window to find cops approaching his home. He tried to escape out the back door, but was tackled by an officer. They rolled down the hill and both were injured.
In court, Damian wore a giant bandage over a laceration on his shoulder. While lifting up his shirt to show the jury, he grimaced. "I'm kinda sore," he said. "I can't raise my arm all the way up."
Damian is lanky and handsome, with a baby face and charming smile. Though he exudes confidence, he doesn't hide his emotions the way many hardened 20-year-olds from the projects do. Vulnerability aside, he seemed to have little respect for his mother. He told the jury that Deanna was on medications for mental issues, and couldn't be trusted.
Then he directly contradicted her testimony.
"On August 17, did Jamal Butler bring a gun to your house?" the prosecution wanted to know.
"No, sir. No, sir," Damian said.
"You told the cops he brought the gun to your house wrapped up in a green camouflage jacket," Merin continued. "You told them it was a 9-millimeter."
"I said that because they were telling me I'd never see my son again," Damian replied.
The jury viewed the taped police interrogation from November, when the cops had responded to Deanna's distress call by arresting Damian. On the portions played in court, it appears the interrogators were doing their best to terrify him. They tell him that his cellphone can be tracked, that's he's in a big pile of dog doo-doo, and that they're disappointed he's calling his mama a liar. If he doesn't talk, they say, his baby will grow up without a daddy.
Damian resists for more than an hour, and explains to the investigators what becomes of snitches. "Niggas killing your babies over this kind of shit," he says. "Niggas kill they baby mamas over this. Niggas kill they best friends over this kind of shit. ... This is not to be played with; this is some serious shit ... excuse my language."
When the investigators tell Damian his mother loves him, and that they're upset he's calling her a liar, Damian shakes his head. "She don't love me, man," he says.
"Your mama is one courageous woman," one police officer says. "And she loves you, whether you want to believe it or not. Kevin and I just spent over an hour with her, [and she was] crying about you."
"Where she go?" Damian asks. "'Cause I ain't got no ride."
Eventually Damian cracks and admits that Junk brought him the gun. He asks if he can be a confidential informant, and maintains a firm position that he cannot be involved. All he cares about is his son, he repeats over and over. He doesn't want to bring his son into this. When he finds out that the entire conversation has been recorded, he gets very quiet.
But on the stand, Damian insisted he was threatened and that he said only what the inspectors wanted to hear so they would let him leave. Finally, he broke into tears talking about his son, who died shortly after Damian's interview with the cops.
That might have moved the jury, but it apparently didn't sway its opinion of Junk. On Tuesday, May 6, before a courtroom of Junk's friends, family, baby mamas, and children, he was found guilty of second-degree murder. The jury also found him guilty of illegally possessing a deadly weapon.
On June 11, the judge will sentence him to somewhere between 60 years and life in prison.
When the verdict came in, Deanna Johnson was holed up at the police department. Because the jury had deliberated for almost a week, an acquittal or a hung jury seemed within the realm of possibility. Investigators didn't want her unprotected, especially not in Double Rock, so they had asked her to come down.
Then again, a guilty verdict wouldn't be good news for Deanna's safety, either. However things went that morning, the cops planned to try to get her into witness protection one last time. The last thing they wanted was more headlines about a witness getting whacked for coming forward.
They had a pretty solid plan.
When the investigators learned the prosecution had won, they told Deanna for the first time that she would not be able to stay in Double Rock. (Tim Larsen of the Housing Authority says this wasn't necessarily true, and that she could have gone through an appeals process.) So on the day the investigators most wanted Deanna to leave town, they made her believe she had no home to return to. She felt manipulated and used. "All I wanted was to keep my home," she said. "I feel like they played me for a fool."
She had no idea where she would go. Willie said she could live with him, but with her history of domestic violence, she wasn't interested. She had saved almost no money, and the city wouldn't help her find new housing, unless it was hundreds of miles from San Francisco. And just like that, Deanna was facing two options: homelessness or the witness protection program.

Maryville High School's Future Teachers of America members met with other FTA chapters from the area at their annual meeting and convention held in Nashville in March. The goal was to learn about the teaching profession and elect officers. Dr. Earl H. Wiman, president of the Tennessee Education Association presented the keynote address to 150 students and advisors. Students participated in sessions that were conducted by Tennessee teachers and community leaders about topics such as professionalism, diversity, highway safety and a panel discussion on college and continued involvement in the teaching profession.
An important part of the convention was the election of the Executive Board. Candidates for the board campaigned by meeting students from other schools. From eleven candidates, five were chosen. Maryville High's Dallas "Chip" Woods was the first freshman ever elected to the position. His election also marks the first time a Maryville High student has been elected to the position.
The 2007-2008 officers for the Maryville High's chapter of FTA were Tori Rader and Michael Schneider, the head advisor was Deborah Lamine, Morgan Hodson was also an advisor until December when she went on maternity leave and Jackie Stryker assumed her responsibilities.
On May 9 the MHS chapter met to discuss plans for the next year and announced the 2008-2009 officers. Dallas "Chip" Woods was elected president, Caitlin Campbell was elected vice president, Shannon Rampe was elected secretary and Christen Petelka was elected historian/secretary.
The goal of FTA members is to become a teacher. They meet twice a month to hear from various speakers, including local school teachers, on various topics related to a career in teaching. For more information about FTA, contact Nicki Fields, FTA coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact one of the Maryville High School FTA advisors at www.maryvillehighschool.org.

These pictures are amazing. I never knew such a deer existed, let alone in Wisconsin.
Here is a calico buck that a hunter shot in WI. He sent these pictures to a bunch of people to see what he could get and the owner of Cabela's paid him $13,000 for the head and hide. A calico buck like this one is rarer then an albino.

General Writer's Guidelines
AIR & SPACE/Smithsonian is a general interest magazine about flight. Its purpose is to enlighten and to entertain. Its goal is to show readers, both the knowledgeable and the novice, facets of the enterprise of flight that they are unlikely to encounter elsewhere. The emphasis is on the human rather than the technological, on the ideas behind events, rather than a simple recounting of details.
Style points:
- Writing should be clear, accurate, and engaging. It should be free of technical and insider jargon, and generous with explanation and background.
- The first step every aspiring contributor should take is to study recent issues of the magazine. If back issues are unavailable at your public library, you may obtain a sample copy by sending a check or money order for $7 (includes postage) payable to Air & Space/Smithsonian. Our address is below; please be sure to include yours.
- The next step is to submit a one-page proposal introducing the article you envision. Describe the approach, the sources, and the possibilities for illustration, as well as your credentials. Editors read proposals especially to evaluate writing skill and imaginativeness of approach. Clips should accompany the proposal.
- For first-time contributors, writing a department--a short piece that often has a personal point of view--offers the best chance for acceptance.

On cask during Cask Days 2013.
Beer is cloudt orange, with a minimally sized off-white head.
Smell is strong and very nice. Tropical fruits jump out, mainly passionfruit. A bit soapy.
Taste is not as vibrant or nice as the nose. Moderately bitter, with some passionfruit and other fruits, and some toasted malt. Similar to the nose, but ramped down.
Medium bodied, low natural carbonation level.
Overall, pretty good.

Bottle: Poured a bright orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light fruity hops notes with semi-sweet caramel malt base is interesting. Taste is mostly dominated by fruity hops with some semi-sweet ca5ramelized malt and light floral finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Overall this was an enjoyable experience though this is far form a variety of hops that I enjoy.

750ml Bottle from Marche Omni QC for 9$
Appearance - Hazy copper colour with a large size frothy beige coloured head. It's hard to see the amount of carbonation showing and there is some good lacing. The head lasted for around 4-5 minutes.
Smell - Hops, malts, caramel, grassy/herbal notes
Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and I can taste caramel and hops. There is also some light grapefruit flavour mixed with a herbal/grassiness and a hint of tropical fruit sweetness. It ends with a sweet aftertaste with a mild hop bitterness.
Overall – An interesting beer and not what I was expecting from a APA. It has a a lot of flavour and remains interesting throughout the glass. I would call this more of a English PA than an American though. It's just too sweet though.. It has a sweetness that I would expect from a DIPA. I'd rate it higher if it was less sweet.

Thanks Deadbolt82!!
Appearance. Pours a nice, rich amber-gold with a finger of bubbly and foamy off-white head that has decent retention.
Smell. Big yellow grapefruit, some orange and a bit of lime. There's a bit of caramel malt there, but wow that citrus!
Taste. Again, lots of citrus. Bitter yellow grapefruit juice, a little lemon and lime, some floral hops. Sweet malts come through all those hops.
Mouthfeel. Medium+ body, low carbonation. I like a little more carbonation to cut down that sweetness.
Overall. A fine, big pale ale. Maybe not in abv, but in flavour it's pretty big.

100% Falconer Flight's hops, never tried these.
A: Hazy amber, as expected with most hops forward pale ales. Thick and frothy cream white head with very good retention and strong lacing considering the low ABV.
S: The beer is fresh and the hops are very much upfront. You get the yellow grapefruit juice at the very front, then you get orange and lime with nice and light floral note. Then, you get a solid malt fondation with honey and caramel. EDIT: Pineapple, all the way!
T: Taste follows the nose very well. You get the hops at the beginning with the yellow grapefruit, lime juice, candied orange peel and light piny and flowery notes. You get, again, the caramel and honey that blends really well with the malts without being overpowering for a APA (which is the case very often with APA and IPA's that are made in Quebec) but still a touch too sweet for my personal taste. EDIT: lots of pineapple, I forgot about it.
M: Medium body with medium to low carbonation. Much stickier than expected.
O: This is very solid, it might just be the very best APA made in Quebec. More breweries from around should follow Hopfenstark and play more with the west coast hops as aromatic hops.

Entertainment behind the scenes
"Twilight" idol Pattinson says he's a "paranoid wreck"
Change isn't always good.
Especially if you're Robert Pattinson, the former model who has catapulted to teen idol status courtesy of blockbuster vampire movie "Twilight."
Pattinson, now filming the sequel "New Moon", says his sudden fame has made him a "paranoid wreck" in terms of his friendships.
"I'm always really worried about ruining (friends) lives. Especially with people that aren't famous. It's such a massive change. I'm kind of a paranoid wreck. I've eaten a lot of room service," Pattinson told Entertainment Tonight, in on-set interviews to start airing on the celebrity television program on Thursday.
The assistants, security and other hordes that come with sudden fame are also proving hard to get used to. "Now it's funny, you can't even get through to people on the phone. They won't even let you ring people up. I can't even ring down to reception and say let (visitors) up. I have to literally go down and carry them," he said.
But Pattinson said it feels "suprisingly natural" to play lovestruck vampire Edward Cullen again, and he promises fans they will see plenty of him in the movie sequel, even though his character in the Stephenie Meyer book is mostly absent from the story.
"(In the film) it's an illusion when he (Edward) appears. I think if you do it with voiceover as they do in the book, it would end up being quite cheesy. But it's very subtle, my presence," Pattinson said.
I feel kind of sorry for Robert Pattinson. I mean yes he is in the show biz but for him not to be able to escape and just be himself and hang out with his friends has got to be rough. I just hope that he can find his way through all the craziness and be at peace with the path that his life is so obviously on. AMAZING…It would be great to hear him play his music live, his acting is one of a kind but that voice is even better!!
Rob you are one of the kind in one-hundred-year time. Definitely talented…Like it was said: When you step out of your comfort zone, you grow… When you look back, everything becomes history.The most important thing in the life is to be the one you would like to be and You have the control of your life. I wish you the very best.
I think Robert Pattison is Hot as Brad Pitt ever was.
Difference in time but the same story something about the vampire. I'm certain he's going to be a super star…
Geezzz we keep getting these updates about New Moon and we know Edward leaves Bella but in the book he comes back..I really hope they follow the story line from the book and especially stick by chapters 22 to the end of the book. They must know it's the love story between them that captured our hearts–I've been listening to the audio books and OMG it's absolutely awesome!! Rob Pattinson is the reason for Twilight's success in the movie version I sincerely hope the directors don't mess it up! If they really want to make huge amounts of money then they best keep focused on Rob Pattinson! :)))

Programming Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 — Save 50%
Using this Microsoft Dynamics NAV book and eBook - develop and maintain high performance applications to meet changing business needs with improved agility and enhanced flexibility.
NAV 2009: A set of building blocks and development tools
If you look at NAV 2009 from the point of view of a developer, you may see it as a set of customizable off-the-shelf program objects (the building blocks) plus the IDE which allows you to modify those objects and create new ones (the C/SIDE development tools).
The NAV 2009 system is an object-based system, consisting of several thousand application objects, the building blocks, made up of the eight different object types available in NAV. NAV does not have all of the features of an object-oriented system. A full-featured object-oriented system would allow the definition and creation of new object types, while NAV only allows for the creation and modification of the predefined object types.
NAV object types
Let's start with some basic definitions of the object types that are part of NAV:
- Table: Tables are the definers and containers of data.
- Form: Forms are the screen display constructs for the Classic Client user interface.
- Page: Pages are the screen display constructs for the Role Tailored Client user interface. Pages are designed and rendered (displayed) using technology that is new to NAV 2009.
- Report: Reports allow the display of data to the user in "hardcopy" format, either onscreen (preview mode) or via a printer device. Report objects can also update data in processes with or without accompanying data display output.
- Dataport: Dataports allow the importing and exporting of data from/to external files in the Classic Client.
- XMLport: XMLports are similar to Dataports. In the Classic Client, XMLports are specific only to XML files and XML formatted data. In the Role Tailored Client, XMLports handle the tasks of both XMLports and Dataports.
- Codeunit: Codeunits are containers for code, always structured in code segments called functions.
- MenuSuite: MenuSuites contain menus which refer in turn to other types of objects. MenuSuites are structured differently from other objects, especially since they cannot contain any code or logic. In the Role Tailored Client, MenuSuites are translated into Navigation Pane menu entries.
The C/SIDE Integrated Development Environment
NAV includes a full set of software development tools. All NAV development tools are accessed through the C/SIDE Integrated Development Environment. This environment and its full complement of tools are generally just referred to as C/SIDE. C/SIDE includes the C/AL compiler. All NAV programming uses C/AL. No NAV development can be done without using C/SIDE.
The C/SIDE Integrated Development Environment is referred to as the Object Designer within NAV. It is accessed through the Tools Object Designer menu |option as shown in the following screenshot:
The language in which NAV is coded is C/AL. A sample of some C/AL code is shown as follows. C/AL syntax has considerable similarity to Pascal. As with any programming language, readability is enhanced by careful programmer attention to structure, logical variable naming, process flow consistent with that of the code in the base product and good documentation both inside and outside of the code.
Insert code1
A large portion of the NAV system is defined by tabular entries, properties, and references. This doesn't reduce the requirement for the developer to understand the code, but it does allow some very significant applications development work to be done on a more of a point-and-choose or fill-in-the-blank approach than the traditional "grind it out" approach to coding. NAV gives developers the ability to focus on design rather than code. Much of the time, the effort required to create a new NAV application or modification will be heavily weighted on the side of design time, rather than technical development time. This long term goal for systems development tools has always been true for NAV. As the tools mature, NAV development continues to be more and more heavily weighted to design time rather than coding time.
Object Designer tool icons
The following screenshot shows a list of Object Designer tool icons. These Object Designer icons are shown isolated in the screenshot and then described briefly in the following table. Some of these icons apply to actions that are only for objects which run in the Classic Client, some are for objects for both clients. Additional information is available in the C/SIDE Help files and the Microsoft NAV documentation.
The following table lists the specific development tools used for each object type. Also, as shown in this table, some objects are limited to being used in the Classic Client, some are limited to being used in the RTC environment, some are used in both, and some are interpreted differently depending on the environment in which they are invoked.
Object Type
Design Tool
User Interface
Table Designer
Classic and RTC
Form Designer
Page Designer
Report Designer
Classic (and RTC)
If a report is run from the RTC but doesn't have an RTC compatible layout, NAV will run it under a temporary instance of the Classic Client
Report Designer (data definition) + Visual Studio (user interface)
Dataport Designer
XMLport Designer
Classic and RTC
For the RTC, Dataport functionality is handled through appropriately defined XMLports
IDE code editor for the C/AL language
Classic and RTC
Navigation Pane Designer
Classic and RTC
Much of the navigation in the RTC is done via Role Center pages rather than menus
NAV object and system elements
Let's take a look at the following:
- Database: NAV has two physical database options. One is the C/SIDE Database Server; the other is the Microsoft SQL Server. The C/SIDE Database Server, formerly known as the "Native" database, only supports the two-tier client. The NAV 2009 three-tier functionality is only compatible with a SQL Server implementation. You won't be surprised to know that one or two product versions in the future, the only database option will be SQL Server. At the basic application or code design levels, you don't care which database is being used. For sophisticated or high data volume applications you care a great deal about the underlying database strengths, weaknesses and features.
- Properties: These are the attributes of the element (for example object, data field, or control) that define some aspect of its behavior or use. For example, attributes such as display length, font type or size, and if the elements are either editable or viewable.
- Fields: These are the individual data items, defined either in a table or in the working storage of an object.
- Records: These are groups of fields (data items) that are handled as a unit in most Input/Output operations. The table data consists of rows of records with columns consisting of fields.
- Controls: These are containers for constants and data. A control corresponds to a User Interface element on a form/page or a report. The visible displays in reports and forms consist primarily of controls.
- Triggers: The generic definition is a mechanism that initiates (fires) an action when an event occurs and is communicated to the application object. A trigger is either empty or contains code that is executed when the associated event fires the trigger. Each object type has its own set of predefined triggers. The event trigger name begins with the word "On" such as OnInsert, OnOpenPage, and OnNextRecord. NAV triggers have some similarities to those in SQL, but they are not the same. NAV triggers are locations within the various objects where a developer can place comments or C/AL code.
- When you look at the C/AL code of an object in its Designer, the following have a physical resemblance to the NAV event based triggers:
- Documentation which can contain comments only, no executable code. Every object type except MenuSuite has a single Documentation section at the beginning.
- Functions which can be defined by the developer. They represent callable routines that can be accessed from other C/AL code either inside or outside the object where the called function resides. Many functions are provided as part of the standard product. As a developer, you may add your own custom functions as needed.
- Object numbers and field numbers: The object numbers from 1 (one) to 50,000 and in the 99,000,000 (99 million) range are reserved for use by NAV as part of the base product. Objects in this number range can be modified or deleted, but not created with a developer's license. Field numbers are often assigned in ranges matching the related object numbers (that is starting with 1 for fields relating to objects numbered 1 to 50,000, starting with 99,000,000 for fields in objects in the 99,000,000 and up number range). Object and field numbers from 50,001 to 99,999 are generally available to the rest of us for assignment as part of customizations developed in the field using a normal development license. But object numbers from 90,000 to 99,999 should not be used for permanent objects as those numbers are often used in training materials. Microsoft allocates other ranges of object and field numbers to Independent Software Vendor (ISV) developers for their add-on enhancements. Some of these (in the 14,000,000 range in North America, other ranges for other geographic regions) can be accessed, modified, or deleted, but not created using a normal development license. Others (such as in the 37,000,000 range) can be executed, but not viewed or modified with a typical development license. The following table summarizes the content as:
Object Number range
1 - 9,999
Base-application objects
10,000 - 49,999
Country-specific objects
50,000 - 99,999
Customer-specific objects
100,000 - 98,999,999
Partner-created objects
Above 98,999,999

In the Role Tailored Client, you can set the Work Date by selecting Microsoft Dynamics NAV Set Work Date|, and then entering a date (see following screenshot).
NAV functional terminology
For various application functions, NAV uses terminology that is more akin to accounting terms than to traditional data processing terminology. Some examples are:
- Journal: A table of transaction entries, each of which represents an event, an entity, or an action to be processed. There are General Journals for general accounting entries, Item Journals for changes in inventory, and so on.
- Ledger: A detailed history of transaction entries that have been processed. For example, General Ledger, a Customer Ledger, a Vendor Ledger, an Item Ledger, and so on. Some Ledgers have subordinate detail ledgers, typically providing a greater level of date plus quantity and/or value detail.
- Posting: The process by which entries in a Journal are validated, and then entered into one or more Ledgers.
- Batch: A group of one or more Journal entries that were posted in one group.
- Register: An audit trail showing a history, by Entry No. ranges, of the Journal Batches that have been posted.
- Document: A formatted report such as an Invoice, a Purchase Order, or a Check, typically one page for each primary transaction.
User interfaces
The terms two-tier versus three-tier and Classic Client versus Role Tailored Client have come up several times already in our discussion of NAV 2009. Let's initially focus on the user look and feel differences, and what that means to you when designing an application.
Following is a sample of what the Classic Client (two-tier) user interface looks like. Note that if the login were for a user with limited access privileges, only the permitted menu options would be displayed. Nevertheless, the basic structure of the display is oriented around the structure of the database and the traditional technician viewpoint of how the system works.
Now let's take a look at the appearance of the Role Tailored Client. The same comment applies about the system displaying only the permitted functions. However, the basic structure of the display here is oriented around a definition of the Role (and therefore the tasks) of the specific user who has logged in. Someone whose role centers around Order Entry will see a different RTC home page than the user whose Role centers around Invoicing, even though both are primarily focused in what we used to think of more globally as Sales & Receivables.
Obviously the user look and feel has changed dramatically from the Classic Client to the RTC. The design approach for our enhancements must follow the new RTC style. In some ways this will be a more challenging task, especially for those of us who are purely technical developers without much knowledge of the individual user's point of view.
In order to do a good job of fitting the system to a particular customer, we must have a good understanding of the duties performed by different roles within that customer's organization. This means we need more diagnostic effort at the frontend of our system design and implementation planning. Perhaps we should always have done that, but since our design model was based on how our product worked, rather than how the customer's operation worked, we could get away with doing less. No more. It's not within the scope of this book to discuss that diagnostic effort in any detail. Nevertheless, it is very important that it be done and done well. In this book, we will concentrate on how to address the requirements for Roles once they are defined.

The Tribune-Star
Terre Haute's strong connection with the Indiana University swimming program got a little bit stronger last month.
Terre Haute native Donny Brush, who had spent the previous eight seasons on IU's staff as an assistant coach (the last four as "assistant head coach for the coordination of training and student athlete development"), was promoted June 30 to the position of associate head coach for men's and women's swimming.
"He will become lead coach for our women's team while continuing to work with our men," IU head coach Ray Looze explained on the university's athletics website. "Coach Brush will also be based out of the middle distance women's group, but similarly to [assistant] coach [Mike] Westphal, have impact in all training groups."
The 39-year-old Brush, who built memories and lifelong friendships as a young age-group swimmer in Terre Haute in the mid and late 1980s, said he didn't start thinking about coaching as a profession until after he graduated from Terre Haute South High School in 1992. Along the way, he earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Indiana State in 2001 and a master's degree in coaching from ISU in 2010.
In 2012-13 under the direction of Brush, the IU men set school records in the 50-yard freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle relay, 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay. The Hoosier men finished second in the 2013 Big Ten championships and placed ninth in the NCAA championships, the highest finish for the Hoosiers since 1980.
On the women's side, a total of four school records fell in 2012-13 as the squad placed second in the Big Ten championships and 11th in the NCAA championships.
With Brush's guidance, the Hoosier women won their third straight Big Ten title in 2010-11, taking the crown in their home pool. IU took home four individual and relay Big Ten titles and went on to earn a total of 21 All-American certificates in the NCAA championships.
"Donny is one of the most innovative coaches in USA Swimming," Looze pointed out. "His expertise in power training has brought our program to what I believe to be the most comprehensive pulley [power] training systems in the world. He is also respected throughout the world for his wisdom in seasonal planning. Lastly, coach Brush will take on added responsibilities in recruiting as director of off-campus recruiting."
Once Brush made up his mind as a young adult, he began his coaching career in Terre Haute.
He served as co-head coach for the Terre Haute Aquatic Club (1993-96), head coach at South High School for one season (1996-97) and head coach for the Terre Haute Torpedoes youth team (1997-2000). The Torpedoes garnered six consecutive Central Indiana State Conference championships during that time.
Prior to coming to IU in 2005, Brush worked as an assistant coach for Longhorn Aquatics in Austin, Texas, from 2004 to 2005. During his time in the Lone Star State, Longhorn was recognized by USA Swimming as the top Gold Medal Club in the nation.
Previously, he operated as head age-group and senior assistant coach for the Carmel Swim Club from 2002 to 2004. Under his tutelage, the squad received national recognition as the top USA Swimming Silver Medal Club.
Before his time at Carmel, Brush served as head coach and CEO of the Newburgh Sea Creatures from 2000 to 2002.
Now IU appears to be his long-term home.
"Since joining coach Looze's staff in 2005, it's been an honor to work with him and coach [Mike] Westphal to help develop one of the strongest swimming and diving teams in the Big Ten Conference," Brush told the Tribune-Star on Friday.
One of his recent recruits is 2013 South graduate Grace Padget, who will be an IU freshman for the upcoming season. She came in 14th in the 100 butterfly and 16th in the 100 backstroke during the 2013 IHSAA state championships.
"We see a lot of upside in her," Brush assessed. "She has a good underwater dolphin kick that we think we can develop into being one of the best in the Big Ten. She's got a lot of natural talent and she's a hard worker in the classroom and in the pool."
On an unrelated note, Brush said South graduate Nolan Roach has left the IU men's swimming program after competing as a freshman last season.

30 Days, 30 Lost Interviews
Last week I met with David Gerlach, founder and creator of Blank on Blank, a nonprofit that salvages, archives and remixes audio recordings journalists submit from their past interviews.
Visit the site now and you'll see and hear from Allen Ginsberg, Thom Yorke, Dave Brubeck and even Jonathan Alter on how to interview presidents.
Blank on Blank currently has a Kickstarter campaign up and running. Aside from the $10,000 they hope to raise, they're also trying to "raise" 30 new interviews. Have a great one on your hard drive or in a shoe box? Visit Blank on Blank and tell them about it.
In the Q&A below, we discuss how Blank on Blank started, how it works with Public Radio Exchange to distribute these lost interviews and give them new life, and what it means to remix an old audio interview. — Michael
FJP: What is Blank on Blank? What's its origin story?
David Gerlach: Blank on Blank's mission is simple: turn print journalists' lost interview tapes into new unheard multimedia. We are a nonprofit transforming journalists' interviews gathered to write stories, into a new podcast, public radio series, and collection of animated shorts on YouTube. The future of journalism? Remixing the past.
FJP: Why is archiving, salvaging and ultimately repurposing this material important?
David: So many remarkable stories are in danger of being lost forever. Yet there is a huge mobile, online, and radio audience that wants to hear them. As a former print journalist I always thought about these amazing conversations I had on tape that no one ever got to hear after I finished a story. There is something about hearing someone tell a story in an intimate setting versus reading what was said. We want to help print journalists expand their portfolios and realize the untapped value of the interviews gathering dust on their tapes and computer hard drives. It's about rebooting and striking back in the face of a print media world that's been turned upside down. Plus it's easy to do.
FJP: When you get an audio interview in, what happens next?
David: We take a listen and and cull the interviews for the must-hear outtakes. We want evergreen stories. Unexpected conversations from the well known and universal tales from everyday Americans. Then our talented public radio-seasoned producers polish and edit the audio, add some music and storytelling, and a Blank on Blank is born. We turn most interviews into smart audio slideshows. And cartoonists, illustrators, filmmakers, graphic artists, and photographers turn these pieces into inventive videos that live on YouTube and beyond.
FJP: I've seen Blank on Blank production on PRX. What's that all about? How and where is this material being used and distributed?
David: The Public Radio Exchange (PRX.org) is a phenomenal partner. They distribute both our new podcast and our interview segments to public radio stations. So now Blank on Blank content is being heard on stations across the country, as well as on XM Satellite radio. PRX is also home to The Moth Radio Hour, WTF with Marc Maron, and 99% Invisible, so we are honored to be in such must-hear company.
FJP: How can journalists get involved?
David: It's easy. Have an interview or an interview excerpt you think should be heard? Go to http://blankonblank.org/your-interviews/ and tell us about it. Maybe there was an aside, an anecdote, or unbelievable story that came up when reporting a story. Or one that didn't make it into print, but it always stuck with you. Perhaps there is a choice back and forth you think encapsulates an article or book you are writing now or years ago. Think of this as a multimedia sidebar to reach whole new audiences. Then all it takes is uploading the digital interview file to our storage cloud (or getting us a tape). From there we do all the production work. We also welcome any and all editorial input and do love recording our contributors to set the scene for their interview, if they'd like to.
FJP: You have a Kickstarter up and running, what do you plan to do with the funds if you raise them?
David: We've launched a slightly different kind of Kickstarter. This funding platform has become such a creative force we thought it was an ideal place to raise not only money ($10,000), but content. We're looking to raise 30 lost interviews in 30 days - the best unheard conversations from journalists that have never been heard. The best excerpts from these interviews will be transformed and shared with new audiences. Funds raised on Kickstarter will go directly to covering audio and video production costs.
FJP: Why should a journalist or a publication partner with Blank on Blank?
David: Why shouldn't they? We make it nearly effortless for our contributors to get more mileage from work that's already been done. They reach new listening and video audiences simply by getting us an interview, raising the awareness of the journalist, the publication, and even driving a new audience back to the original print stories. We'll take it from there. Our contributors keep the rights to their original interviews and get a new piece of multimedia to host on their website. Plus Blank on Blanks are perfect for spreading via social media. Our sole mission as a non-profit is to preserve journalists' interviews and bring your work to life.

Because Gemini is not above straying, they are rather divorce prone. However, typically they think the joys of an occasional adventure more than make up for the risks involved. Geminis are exciting companions who crave excitement and variety. They assume they will be able to easily smooth over troubled waters with their silver tongue--they are tolerant of the peccadilloes of their partners, so long as they are not stolid or boring.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on the Fall of Prop 8 and the Coming Gaypocalypse
Enjoy life as you know it while it lasts, my fellow straight people, for soon we will be forced to endure the unimaginably horrific dystopia of two dudes that you don't know buying each other rings and fighting over floral centerpieces. My mind is bending toward insanity at the mere thought of it…
After the jump, Stephen Colbert reveals his flawless plan for us heterosexuals to ruin gay people's marriages the same way they're ruining our heterosexual marriages with their gay marriage-having.
The Daily Show and Colbert Report air Monday through Thursday starting at 11pm / 10c.
Someone's gonna have to invent a new adjective to express how BLANK this clip is.
Just so, so BLANK.

Sure, we could tell you that Lighting is essential because without it, we are
all sitting around in the dark. And we acknowledge that even poorly
designed lighting lets you see. But lighting is really a "quality-of-life"
issue. Do you want to feel proud of your home and do you appreciate how a
well conceived space can make you feel better about today? At its core,
effective lighting CAN make your life dramatically more enjoyable.
Lighting impacts your mood. Poorly conceived lighting will create an
instant negative vibe. And great lighting can lift you up without you even
knowing why.
Lighting has a dramatic effect on our perception of the space we occupy
and how we interact with it. Often we don't even notice it, we just know
we like it. Lighting is sometimes an afterthought. Maybe because it is one
of the last steps, or maybe because of budget over-runs in other areas,
the lighting budget gets trimmed at the end. But lighting should be
considered from the beginning when a space is being planned. And get an
expert involved. How do you think some builders or designers make creating
dramatic spaces look so easy? They all know the secret to drama and
comfort is proper lighting.
Good lighting might go un-noticed, but you will know bad lighting from a
mile away. Don't be that house that gets noticed this way. Don't commit
these 4 deadly lighting sins
Insufficient light - causes eyestrain,
headaches and makes a rook feel dark and gloomy. Usually caused by
insufficient wattage or poor placement of fixtures.
Unflattering light - Symptoms are poor coloring, dreary rooms,
nothing stands out. Plus we all want to look our best. let your light
make you the star.
Glare - Lights that are too bright or poorly
positioned often result in glare. Makes reading difficult and causes
distraction and disunity in the space.
Energy Wasters - Today you CAN have attractive
lighting that saves energy. Why burn hot incandescent bulbs all the time
when more efficient options abound?
With a few lighting tips from the pros at Lamps
USA you WILL achieve your lighting goals with
impressive results.

Joy of Tech™, Script
Insert Here
Via the inimitable Brian Krebs, of Krebs on Security, comes reports of insert, thin and mini card skimmers, and the perils of automated banking and commerce for consumers worldwide. The astonishing component to this litany of miscreant evil-doers is the apparent inability of hardware manufacturers' to detect, notify and terminate these devices at will [or, at the very least, reject all cards on the machine when nefarious activities are suspected].
XKCD, Surface Area
Что происходит в России, остается в России*
An Existential Threat
In a fascinating read, via Defense One's Molly O'Toole, comes an apocryphal description - by John Kelly, GEN USMC - targeting our southern border, now known as an 'Existential Threat'. Probably too close to the truth for most of Congress to admit.
"In spring hearings before the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, Kelly said that budgets cuts are "severely degrading" the military's ability to defend southern approaches to the U.S border. Last year, he said, his task force was unable to act on nearly 75 percent of illicit trafficking events. "I simply sit and watch it go by," he said. But the potential threats are even greater. Kelly warned that neglect has created vulnerabilities that can be exploited by terrorist groups, describing a "crime-terror convergence" already seen in Lebanese Hezbollah's involvement in the region.' - via Defense One's Molly O'Toole
XKCD, Clumsy Foreshadowing
News, via Jordan Valinsky, writing at Gizmodo, detailing the use by some health care facilities - of big data extracts- and focusing on the credit card data contained therein. Perhaps you may be wondering why and how credit card data may be relevant to determining health statistics, stay tuned and examine the Bloomberg Businessweek article where clarity may be provided in regards the use of spending information and illness in homo sapiens spendthriftus.
"According to Bloomberg Businessweek, it's currently being used by Carolinas HealthCare System, which is using that type of data to survey the health of its two million members." - via Jordan Valinsky at Gizmodo
Joy of Tech™, Google Everywhere
XKCD, People are Stupid
Ex-Parte Praedictum, IV Decies Centena Milia
This is what we need more of... via the inimitable Brian Krebs, at Krebs On Security, comes the astounding story of Microsoft Corporations' (NasdaqGS: MSFT) Big Stick, as it were; and why, in a highly orchestrated chain of events fraught (in this case, predicated upon an ex-parte restraining order) with technical errors, nearly 4,000,000 web sites have been neutralized.
Joy of Tech™, The Don't Buy Stuff Phone
Android Cryptography Woes
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.* Apparently all the makings [crypto flaws] of an extraordinary breach of sensitive data, this time contained within an enormous number of Android devices, has been discovered. Astonishingly, upwards of eighty-six percentile of all Android devices may be vulnerable.

XKCD, Throwing Rocks
Facebookery, Psychological Experimentation Without Consent
via Kirk McElhearn, a Senior Contributor focusing on iTunes automation and break-fix over at Macworld] comes a smattering of bad news for Facebook users. Apparently, large numbers of users were subjected to psychological testing [without prior consent]. Ooops...
