I've run across a problem in the last couple applications I've worked on using
and I'm wondering if there's a better solution than what I have been using.
The problem I face is that I have a number of records in the database that all need to be displayed to a user. The user can then look at those records and edit any, all, or none of them. When the page is submitted, I need to take those changes and save them to the database.
In order to facilitate this in Struts, I've been using a Collection of objects in my form beans and then populating my
using the nested:iterate tag. That seems to work just fine.
However, it's reading the data back in that gives me trouble. It doesn't seem that Struts will create the objects from scratch - if they don't exist in the form bean, they simply aren't populated with the updated data. To get around this, I've been having my "preparation action" (the one that reads the data from the database) and my "submission action" (the one that stores the data back to the database) using the same form bean and I've set that form bean to use Session scope.
That approach seems to work, but I don't like keeping that sort of data in the session - it just doesn't seem appropriate.
Anyone know a better way to tackle this problem?

What I usually do is use a what I call a Form Assembler object to move data back and forth between the form and my model. My model object will typically contain a property which is a collection of other objects. For example, let's say I have a Library object which contains a List of Book objects.
Given the use case you describe, I would have a LibraryFormAssembler which might look like this (maybe you have a FormAssembler interface to go along with it):
+assembleForm(Form, Object) : void
+assembleObject(Object, Form) : void
public void assembleForm(Form form, Object obj) { LibraryForm libForm = (Form) form; Library lib = (Library) obj; List bookFormList = new ArrayList(); for each book in Library.getBooks() { BookForm bookForm = new BookForm(); // copy info from book to bookForm as necessary, // maybe even using another assembler. bookFormList.add(bookForm); } libForm.setBooks(bookList); } public void assembleObject(Object obj, Form form) { LibraryForm libForm = (Form) form; Library lib = (Library) obj; for i = 0..libForm().size() { BookForm bookForm = libForm.getBook(i); Book book = lib.getBook(i); // copy info from bookForm to book as necessary, // maybe even using another assembler. } }
public class LibraryForm extends ActionForm { // contains a List of BookForm objects, which // may or may not actually extend ActionForm private List books; public List getBooks(); public Object getBook(int i); public void setBooks(List books); public void setBook(int i, Object o); }
So if I wanted to view the List of Books, I might have this action
public execute(...) { Library lib = LibraryServices.findLibrary(); LibraryForm libForm = (LibraryForm) form; LibraryFormAssembler.assembleForm(libForm, lib); return mapping.findForward("success"); }
Edit the list (I'll assume you keep your Library object in session on this one)...
public execute(...) { Library lib = (Library) session.getAttribute("lib"); LibraryForm libForm = (LibraryForm) form; LibraryFormAssembler.assembleObject(lib, libForm); LibaryServices.save(lib); // if you need to reconstruct your form... LibraryFormAssembler.assembleForm(libForm, lib); return mapping.findForward("success"); }
Add a blank book entry to the list of books so that it may be edited...
public execute(...) { Library lib = (Library) session.getAttribute("lib"); // returns a lib that has an additional book object lib = LibraryServices.add(lib); LibraryFormAssembler.assembleForm(libForm, lib); return mapping.findForward("success"); }
I could go on but I'm sure you probably get the gist by now. The point is I rebuild the form as needed using the assemblers. This makes sure that I always have a BookForm object to coincide with every Book object in my Library, which should alleviate the problem you have been running into, if I undertand correctly.

An approach that I sometimes use is to utilize the reset() method of the form bean. It works like this:
Have your preparation action save the list size as a session attribute.
Override the method reset() in your action form to check if the list is empty. If it is, get the size from the session, and create a list of empty beans the same size as your original list.
If there are attributes that are in each bean that aren't displayed, put them in hidden fields in the jsp.
When the form is submitted, Struts will be able to use the indexed getters and setters to set the data in the bean, provided you have named the properties correctly.
Using this approach you avoid storing a large amount of data in the session, and you can still use collections of beans in your form.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. However, I've got a new wrinkle to add, if I may...
In an earlier case, I needed to grab data from a database and display that collection to the user. The user could then edit that data and resubmit it. The key here was that the number of elements that I'd be displaying would always be exactly the same as the number of element the user would be submitting. The user had no way to add or delete elements - only edit them and resubmit them. They were added and deleted through a different process.
In the case I'm now faced with, I
have some data to show the user originally, and I may not. The first time the user accesses the screen, there will not be any data to display. I'd like to use DHTML to allow the user to add new elements to add new elements to the form from the client side. Then, when the user is done, the user can submit those newly created elements. So, the trick here is that there are 0 elements going out and many elements coming back in. So, ahead of time, I have no idea how many elements to expect.
Honestly, the only way I can think to handle such a case is to do my own object population, rather than relying on Struts to do it for me. In that case, I can look through the request for values and create objects as needed. Anyone have a better approach to this problem?

I'd like to use DHTML to allow the user to add new elements to add new elements to the form from the client side.
Personally, I avoid doing this precisely because of the situation you are facing. That said, there are a few opitons:
1. Don't do it. Every time they "add" a new element your app would call an action that would do something like add a new empty object to your model's collection, then assemble the form based on the current state of the model. When you redisplay back to the user, he now has his blank element he can fill in and you have a one-to-one mapping of collection objects with your model. This is my preferred method.
2. Don't use an ActionForm. Have your Action (or a helper object used by the Action) parse through the request manually and decide how to populate your model. This one's pretty ugly imho and I'd avoid it.
3. Extend RequestProcessor and override processPopulate(). Examine the request and manipulate your ActionForm's collections as needed. Again, not my preferred option, hard to do generically so that it handles all ActionForms (say hello to my friend the
Reflection API), but it is an opiton.
4. A combination of #3 along with having your ActionForms implement an interface which would make it easier for the RequestProcessor to modify your collections, but delegating the specifics to the ActionForm. For example maybe give your ActionForms a method name like addToCollection(
collectionName). Still, I don't particularly care for this option either.
Personally, I'd strongly advocate option 1.
I agree. Here's the link:

March 14th, 2013 (F1plus/G. Polychronis).- The six drivers that approached the microphones of the press conference room were Daniel Ricciardo Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.
Ricciardo has had one year to get comfortable with his surroundings at Torro Rosso, and he shared his plan for his second season at Red Bull Racing's sister team.
The Australian said: "Obviously I'll try and take the experience I learned from last year and bring it into this season; a bit of extra confidence and whatnot and then just try to getsome better results and start to creep up the order a bit. That's really the plan"
In recent times, there has been much attention drawn to Lewis Hamilton's new position at Mercedes GP and he delivered an update on his current status at the team.
Hamilton stated: "It's not that much different [life at Mercedes]. It's put me in a better place. Just settling into the team pretty well. It's still a Formula One team and they still exist to win. The guys are doing a fantastic job and I'm really excited about the season and excited to get back in the car."
Many believe that Lotus is a real title contender for this season, however Kimi Raikkonen is not certain on the accuracy of that statement yet:
"I think we [Louts] are more or less, speedwise, similar to where we were last year when we started and like I said, it's difficult to say exactly where we will be. We'll see a bit tomorrow" he said.
Fernando Alonso understands that this season will be as hard as any other. He agrees that it will be a 'very interesting championship.' He added: "Very challenging first part of the championship with Australia, Malaysia. Difficult circuits, difficult weather as well – changeable. So we need to start on the right foot and hopefully score some good points for the championship."
Winter testing posed as an opportunity for all teams to test new aspects of their cars, however, Sebastian Vettel declared that the Pirelli tyres were responsible for the hindering of testing opportunities for all teams and drivers on the roster.
Vettel affirmed: "The tyres didn't last. It was extremely difficult for us [everyone] to do a lot of laps on the same set of tyres, to test certain things. We hope it gets better here. Otherwise it could be quite funny."
Helmut Marko has recently criticized Mark Webber's driving skill, as he feels 'he (Webber) has a little trouble with the pressure that he creates.' Marko also believes that 'he falls relatively easily into a downward spiral.'
Webber abruptly avoided the topic on Thursday when asked by F1plus.com if Marko's criticism 'acts as a motivator' for him to prove himself throughout the season.
Webber expressed coarsely: "He [Marko] has his agenda and I'm not part of it, so that's fine. Everyone can have their opinions. I'm always pretty good for motivations."
It is always hard to analyse how teams and drivers' will perform before the first race of the season; however, the Formula One community will be able to gain valuable information after Sunday's race.

Remember Me
The influence that Garcia and Weir have had on Matthews's life is both obvious and undeniable, but what many don't know is the influence Matthews had on the two of them. Not only was Matthews the first person to figure out how to record the band, he was there when the name "Grateful Dead" was chosen, and he had even been credited with creating the original jug band that started it all. "We decided we wanted to start a jug band. Jug band was really... first of all, it's the whole issue of 'grab a piece of something and make music out of it.' I was a washboard player in the beginning. But the next day or shortly after, we [Weir and Matthews] had made this decision [to start a jug band]. When we were in the music school - Jerry playing - we mentioned that we started a jug band. Not missing a note - very "Jerry" - he looked up and said, 'Good I'm in it.' And that was basically it - Dennis [McNally] has credited me with having created the idea of the jug band." Starting to laugh, Matthews continues, "I was in the jug band for three weeks, I think."
While Matthews downplays his vision and the depth of his involvement, it was far more than spinning wheels and spinning splifs. "The actual technology that we used, I perused and created for Live Dead, and then it was used - exactly the same system of equipment and approach - for Live Dead, Skull & Roses, and Europe '72. Like many of man's innovations, the "system" Matthews developed was really quite simple. More than the actual concept, what is so impressive is that Matthews was able to see the problem and to remove it. As he tells us, "The music was always what the Grateful Dead were about, and my job, from my point of view, was to remove all the usual obstacles that required attention before you could pay attention to the aesthetics of the music. I tried to work diligently so that the music was the only thing that decisions had to be made about." Nowadays, with the amount of technology we have to record music (live or in the studio), we can't even consider the task at hand for someone like Bob Matthews as he tried to transfer what the Dead did as a band on stage to a tape. "My experience with remote recording trucks was that usually when you got back in the studio, it didn't have any cohesion. It never represented at all what had gone on. What I came to realize was that decisions got made in the truck that you were locked into, and Murphy's Law said that they were more often wrong than they were right. So what I created was a keep it simple approach where the microphones on stage went into the PA, and they didn't go through a console - they were plugged one microphone into one track on the 16-track, so there's no signal processing or other processes done. There were no decisions or alterations of the original signal until we got into the laboratory environment of the studio, where you could make decisions and be able to reverse them. And that's what allowed Live Dead to have 'Space' on it that sounded like it was in the hall."
Matthews's work on Live Dead saw the advancement of the live medium, something that would continue to be a calling through his life. His production on Workingman's Dead taught him how to use the studio and how to organize and make a clean, stellar album quickly and efficiently. "And Jerry's first solo record Garcia, musically, is probably the top thing. Because that was artistically, aesthetically, relationship-wise, from a creative perspective, that was almost perfection." The relationship Matthews had with Garcia, and with music in general, was perhaps as big an influence on the recording process as any. "I would maybe further comment that as I was mentioning earlier, my perspective of what my job was, as far as the music and trying to eliminate 'The Murphy' as it were, a lot of it too - I was in the jug band, I was fortunate enough to be the first bass player in the New Riders [of the Purple Sage], I got to play with Jerry, which was great, and I bring a technical side of what I do to the perspective of what I describe as - being able to bring both sides of the glass - both from the control room and as a musician. I think it's really important to have that perspective and understanding to translate the music well to the medium."

|An unexpected mortality increase in the United States follows arrival of the radioactive plume from Fukushima: is there a correlation?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22403909 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The multiple nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima plants beginning on March 11, 2011, are releasing large amounts of airborne radioactivity that has spread throughout Japan and to other nations; thus, studies of contamination and health hazards are merited. In the United States, Fukushima fallout arrived just six days after the earthquake, tsunami, and meltdowns. Some samples of radioactivity in precipitation, air, water, and milk, taken by the U.S. government, showed levels hundreds of times above normal; however, the small number of samples prohibits any credible analysis of temporal trends and spatial comparisons. U.S. health officials report weekly deaths by age in 122 cities, about 25 to 35 percent of the national total. Deaths rose 4.46 percent from 2010 to 2011 in the 14 weeks after the arrival of Japanese fallout, compared with a 2.34 percent increase in the prior 14 weeks. The number of infant deaths after Fukushima rose 1.80 percent, compared with a previous 8.37 percent decrease. Projecting these figures for the entire United States yields 13,983 total deaths and 822 infant deaths in excess of the expected. These preliminary data need to be followed up, especially in the light of similar preliminary U.S. mortality findings for the four months after Chernobyl fallout arrived in 1986, which approximated final figures.

Texas Rangers scratch Harrison from spring start
LHP Matt Harrison will miss a scheduled start for the Texas Rangers on Saturday because of persistent inflammation in the second toe of the left foot.
The condition is caused by friction as the left foot drags across the mound during the delivery. It is not related to the "turf toe" that Harrison had the in same toe when acquired from Atlanta in 2007.
"It makes no sense to run him out there today with all the time we've got," manager Ron Washington said.
Harrison will return to Dallas on Monday to be examined by Dr. John Crates, a Plano-based orthopedist who specializes in ankle and foot conditions. The Rangers hope Crates can come up with a more specialized orthotics device that will lessen the pressure on the toe. Harrison found some relief by using an orthotic device in the shoe in his last start, but the condition returned during a recent bullpen session.
Harrison is scheduled to return to camp on Monday evening and resume throwing on Tuesday. He likely will start again within a week.
"We don't see this as a setback," assistant general manager Thad Levine said.
RHP Neil Ramirez will replace Harrison in the game against San Diego at Peoria, Ariz.

I purchased a OKR-T/6-W12-C (4.5 to 14 volt input - adjustable 0.3xx - 6.0 V 6Amp output w/ a low current remote on/off switch pin) regulator for a small project I am hacking together. I found that the package has a .067" pin spacing instead of the breadboard "standard .1". A little bit of hilbilly engineering, some ideas from internet forums, and a "value add" to a recomendation by DigiKey suport (they didn't have an adadpter for me to purchase) led me to this solutution. Good luck soldering the connections, but here's a hint. After some failed attempts to modify my small bench vise, and bridging solder between pins... Tooth picks, hot glue, and a work surface that is suitable to razor the hot clue off of when your done are your friend... Obviously I'm just a hobbyist, but a determined one... Hopefully this can help someone spark some inginuity, or maybe I've sucessfully re-created the wheel, but I was able to get to bed (even though it was 3:30) and make it to work a few hours later. Ideas or helpful tips are welcomed.
I like what U did there with the header pins. Sounds like it would work great for breadboarding, but what about actually making hard connections? I'd like to hear how you soldered the OKR. I'd like to avoid bending the pins on my OKR's if at all possible. I'm trying to figure out an easy way to solder on an resistor and a couple caps.

Re: L. Holes in the roof of morgue 1 at crematorium 2 (251- 282)
The issue raised by Rudolf on pp. 251 to 283 of his affidavit concerns what, according to David Irving, was the core of his case. On the eleventh day of the case he had brought against Penguin Books Limited and Deborah E. Lipstadt, Irving stated during his cross-examination of me that his whole case depended on the existence of holes in the ruined roof of morgue 1 of crematorium 2. The point taken by Irving on this issue is typical of Holocaust denial: it selects a single link in the chain of evidence, and demands absolute proof of its validity in isolation from the rest of the evidence, thus conveniently ignoring the obvious historical truth that the existence of a fact may be inferred from other facts, often with a conviction approaching certainty.
Rudolf's approach in this section of his affidavit is somewhat similar. He attacks some of the direct evidence for the holes in the roof and the wire-mesh gassing columns. But he ignores entirely some of the important eyewitness accounts, such as those of Broad and Höss, and his attack on the testimony of others, such as Tauber and Olere, is merely collateral. Moreover, he suggests no credible reason why the eyewitnesses should be treated as having lied, and ignores the fact that their individual accounts are, as Mr. Justice Gray noted, largely free of the risk of cross-pollination. Finally, like many Holocaust deniers, in the process of negative criticism of individual pieces of evidence, Rudolf conspicuously avoids dealing with the fact that the evidence about the holes in the roof and their attending gas columns is but part of, and entirely consistent with, the wider picture of the homicidal gassing procedures in Auschwitz, which is presented by the evidence as a whole.
But all of this is probably no longer of importance because the holes in the roof of the gas chamber of crematorium 2 have been found. Attached to this report is a paper on the holes of crematorium 2. Entitled "A Report on Some Findings Concerning the Gas Chamber of Krematorium II in Auschwitz-Birkenau," it written by Daniel Keren, Ph.D., Jamie McCarthy, and Harry Mazal OBE.
In order to validate the results obtained by Keren, McCarthy and Mazal, I got Paul Zucchi, a senior partner of Yolles Engineering, one of the world's most prominent firms of consulting engineers, to review their report. I attach Zucchi's letter, dated March 11, 2001. It concludes as follows:
In conclusion, it is my professional view that the authors present a strong and sustainable case that openings described as Zyklon vents 1, 2 and 4 were installed in the roof of the building during the course of construction. 78 In addition to the Keren, McCarthy and Mazal's report on the holes, which appears to be conclusive evidence of the existence of these holes in the roof of the gas chamber of crematorium 2, I observe that the inventory of crematorium 2, attached to the transfer agreement of March 31, 1943, lists in morgue 1 the presence of four wire-mesh introduction devices and four wooden lids. These are obviously the gas columns that connected to the holes, and the covers to close the holes.
In these circumstances, there is no need to respond in detail to this section of Rudolf's affidavit.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas -- Police say low water levels at a Texas lake during the drought have led to recovery of a container-like object that could be from space shuttle Columbia.
The shuttle broke apart and burned in February 2003, scattering remnants over East Texas.
Nacogdoches police on Monday announced recovery of the item, described as about 4 feet in diameter and "full of mud." Police say the piece was found in an isolated part of Lake Nacogdoches.
Sgt. Greg Sowell says the lower water level has exposed a larger than normal area on the north side of the lake. Sowell says a large, round object became visible and it's very possible that the item was part of Columbia.
Police have notified NASA and provided photos. Any shuttle pieces are government property.

Tannehill Poised To Lead Offense
Posted By Brian Coyle On June 18, 2014 @ 10:42 am In Football | 3 Comments
[1]With minicamp rolling along into its second day, it's a crucial time for the development of third year quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The Dolphins signal caller holds the key to the team's success on the offensive side of the ball this season, as his play could make Miami a dangerous threat offensively. Obviously being in a new system, Tannehill will need to have some time to learn and develop, but with a team that's built to win right now with a good group of young talent and veterans, that learning curve might be sped up a bit.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins quarterback joined The Finsiders in studio [2]to discuss everything from learning the new offense, his role as a leader in the locker room, and the influx of new offensive weapons around the former first-round pick.
The main fixation from fans and media [3] will be the adjustments Tannehill makes to adapt and learn Miami's new offense. New offensive coordinator Bill Lazor's system appears to be much more wide open than anything Tannehill has ever been in, and that could be to his advantage. He possesses a high football IQ and an athletic skill set that fits this scheme, and he feels confident about it.
"I feel great," said Tannehill. "We have the whole offense in pretty much, I'm sure we'll add a few things throughout training camp and the season. Today we were practicing all types of situations and situational football, things that come up throughout the year, and we have those in our game plan [now]. If we had to go out and play a football game today we have the entire offense, and I think the defense has the entire defense, in the game plan. Now it's just about getting those repetitions."
With the new offense in place, Tannehill also has a few new additions to the offensive skill positions to play with. First off, there's the return of Brandon Gibson [4] and Brian Hartline, who look like they haven't missed a beat physically despite suffering season ending injuries last year. There's also rookie wide receiver Jarvis Landry [5], a guy that's been garnering rave reviews for his versatility.
"There are guys in that room that can play and to have them all healthy will make it tough for a defense," said Tannehill. "It's going to be fun. It's going to be a challenging fall to see how it shakes out because we have so much talent in that room, guys all around the board that can play.
And don't forget about the talented running back room, featuring newly acquired back Knowshon Moreno, and last year's backfield of Lamar Miller, Daniel Thomas, and Mike Gillislee. Tannehill knows how important they are.
"Our receiving group is talented, but our backs are going to catch balls too," said Tannehill. "They're a vital part of this offense, and when you have guys who have good hands like our backs do, who are able to catch and make people miss it, adds a whole other dimension to your offense."
Tannehill can have all the weapons in the world at his disposal, but it won't mean much unless he's in total command of this offense. So far this offseason, he's shown definitive signs of being a leader on the team, which could ultimately be the difference regarding the performance of the offense. He believes that he should step up as a leader, and that it's his job earn the respect of the locker room.
"You just can't come in on day one and start griping at guys for not doing the right thing," said Tannehill. "You have to earn that respect of you teammates, show that you're doing the right thing, consistently doing the right thing, and now it's time to push everyone. I think it's the job of a leader, a quarterback, to make the guys around him better and expect them to perform at a high level, and they should expect the same out of me."

Zambezi (or Zambeze)River, one of the largest rivers in Africa. From headwaters in eastern Angola and western Zambia, it flows easterly in an S-shaped curve for about 1,600 miles (2,600 km) to the Indian Ocean in Mozambique. Along its middle course, the Zambezi forms an international boundary between Zambia and three of its neighbors—Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. The basin drained by the river is about 500,000 square miles (1,300,000 km2).
Except in its lower course, the Zambezi is little used for transportation, mainly because of rapids. It is, however, of increasing importance as a source of hydroelectric power. Power is produced along the Zambia-Zimbabwe border at Victoria Falls and at Kariba Dam, which impounds one of the world's largest reservoirs. Cabora Bassa Dam in Mozambique has the greatest power capacity of any dam in Africa. The first European to visit the upper Zambezi was David Livingstone, in the 1850's.

Get in shape. It's the most obvious of New Year's resolutions, and those three little words have topped just about everyone's list of life goals at some point, especially around this time of year. After all, starting a fitness regimen seems extra-appropriate after a month of nonstop holiday feasting and indulgence.
And after adding that universal to-do to our own lists, we started to wonder if the city's exercise instructors, personal trainers, and yoga teachers were coming up with healthy living goals in January, too. So, we asked some of the DMV's coolest fitness professionals — from barre instructors to bootcamp coaches — to share their own New Year's resolutions, and their responses were downright inspiring. Plus, they spilled plenty of tips on how you (yes — you) can meet your goals this year. Take notes on their super-helpful advice, and we promise you'll want to lace up your sneakers, dust off your yoga mat, and get moving — and maybe stick with it past February, even.
Inez Sobczak, Fit-nez
Inez Sobczak taught her first group fitness class while she was still in high school. She now owns boutique studio Fit-nez, where she specializes in personal training, remote coaching and online training, boot camps, and personalized nutrition counseling. And when she has free time, Sobczak competes in marathons and trains for figure competitions.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have any fitness or nutrition goals for yourself in 2013?
"As for fitness goals, I would like to turn pro in my respective sport, figure competitions. I will spend the next year focusing on becoming more conditioned, leaning out my legs, and continuing to bring a balanced physique on and off the stage."
For those who want to get in better shape, what are the most effective type of goals and resolutions to set?
"Brainstorm your goal, then narrow it down: A goal shouldn't be broad and unwritten. Get specific about your 'result goal' (to lose 10 pounds) and your 'action goal' (to exercise three or more times a week). Be specific and write it down.
Start thinking about the resolution: Process your goal now, so you can really think about measurable steps you need to attain the resolution. Perhaps start to journal, enlist a friend to be your buddy, or recruit a support system.
Line up support for your goals: Choosing a resolution isn't really hard — they're things we all want. But if you're planning on losing weight or paying off debt or quitting smoking, it's good to have support. Don't just tell others what you are doing — let them know what you need. It can be hard to lean on others, but finding those that can relate or want to lend support is helpful.
Share your resolution: Not only will it inspire [others] to start working on their goals, but it will also provide additional support. Let your friends know you have a plan to start training for a 10K; are dedicated to stopping your incessant nail-biting habit; or will be drinking eight glasses of water a day. And don't wait — get started now!
Download an app: There are plenty of mobile phone apps to help you track your progress. If you are losing weight or starting an exercise plan, try Lose It or Fitness Free.
What are some tips to help keep on track with fitness or healthy eating goals throughout the year?
"Avoid emotional eating. If you're like many women who respond to stress by craving (and indulging in) fatty, carb-y comfort food, you're not alone — but you do need to think about an alternative. Maybe it's taking a walk around the block or taking a couple of deep breaths and not using food as the stress reliever. Munch an apple, celery, or carrots. Simply crunching these foods will help get some of your anxiety out without packing on the pounds. And plan ahead — this may seem obvious, but planning a week's menu can make that week run much more smoothly. I sit down on Saturday or Sunday and pick three or four meals that I'm going to make throughout the week, go shopping, and have those ingredients on hand. Once I actually started doing it, my life was so much easier because I have my go-to meals. I know what I'm going to make."
Finally, do you have any New Year's resolutions unrelated to fitness?
"I would like to spend more time with my family, particularly my nieces and nephews, and travel the world more. Nothing is more important than being a role model for your family members and getting to experience cultures from all around the world. Lastly, my resolution is balance — or what I like to refer to as equilibrium — in my life. I don't want to be just a great friend, business owner, or athlete. I want to find the balance at doing all things well in my life and maintaining a sense of contentedness."
Gregg Pitts, Sculpt DC
Gregg Pitts had the ultimate D.C. job, working as a White House staffer. But his passion for indoor cycling helped him lose over 60 pounds — and led him to a new career as a spin instructor. When he's not working as a consultant to a private jet charter company, he's teaching cycling classes at new F Street gym Sculpt DC, which specializes in both yoga and indoor cycling classes that incorporate core work and hand weights for a full body workout.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have any fitness or nutrition goals for yourself in 2013?
"For 2013, I'd like to diversify my workouts. I love cycling and could do it everyday; however, a balance is important. In the next year, I want to focus on CrossFit-type workouts and add in some yoga."
For those who want to get in better shape, what are the most effective type of goals/resolutions to set?
"In fitness, getting started is the key. Just start working out and eating healthier food. Set goals that are small, achievable, and measurable. If a person wants to lose weight, I wouldn't suggest setting a large amount. It is important to take things one step at a time and look at each workout and meal as a chance to improve your health. I lost 60 pounds five years ago (before I was a fitness instructor) and I started [in order] to 'just lose some weight.' Once I got going, I began to track and measure my results."
What are some tips to help keep on track with fitness or healthy eating goals throughout the year?
"Surrounding myself with healthy people is key. Plan activities and meals with friends and family who share your goal to live a healthy lifestyle. Also, with so many workout options, pick something that's fun for you!"
Do you have any advice for students who want to try cycling classes for the first time, but might be nervous?
"I remember that nervousness and intimidation, but eventually realized it was mostly me and not others. You are stronger than you think you are. You can cycle longer than you think you can. You can accomplish more than you think you can! Negative thoughts work against you — focus on what you can do, not what you can't. Don't be afraid to ask for help from an instructor; we are here to help!"
Finally, do you have any New Year's resolutions unrelated to fitness?
"To spend some quiet time alone each morning to clear my mind and prepare for the day."

Natalie Davis, Embody Pure Fitness
As a co-owner of Embody Pure Fitness, certified personal trainer Natalie Davis does a little bit of everything. She teaches proper form for kettlebell workouts, heads up corporate wellness programs, works with personal training clients at FIT gym in Dupont Circle, and leads outdoor boot camps, including specialty programs to help new moms get back into shape. No matter what she's teaching, she helps her clients build a strong core to prevent injuries — and all those lunges, planks, and squats lead to some pretty awesome legs and abs, too.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have any fitness or nutrition goals for yourself in 2013?
"My New Year's resolution for 2013 is to increase my cardiovascular endurance and potentially run a 10K, as well as improve on my work/life balance. Even though I am a personal trainer, I don't have the time to incorporate long runs and cycling into my schedule. I want to run or cycle at least three to four miles twice a week to improve my stamina to compete in a 10K."
For those who want to get in better shape, what are the most effective type of goals or resolutions to set?
"First, you want to focus on nutrition. You are what you eat! Even if you are exercising regularly, you can blow a workout with one slice of pizza or greasy French fries. You may want to make [it] a goal to do a weight-loss program like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. This is a simple way to take control of your caloric intake, portion control, and food choices.
Once you have the nutrition part under control (which is the hardest), then focus on the fitness goals. A great goal for fitness is to improve your cardiovascular endurance. Make a resolution to run a half marathon, or cycle a century, or complete a triathlon. Focusing on your cardiovascular endurance first will improve your heart and lungs and decrease risk for cardiovascular disease, or other chronic conditions. These goals will also take time to complete, which will keep you motivated throughout the year. Even joining a running or biking group will be a fun way to get in shape, while giving you accountability."
What are some tips to help keep on track with fitness or healthy eating goals throughout the year?
"Food and exercise journaling/logging has been proven to be an effective way to keep you on track with your fitness and eating habits. If you write down what you eat every day, or have a program that tells you how many calories and grams of fat/protein/carbs/sodium you are ingesting, then you will get that self-feedback system to help you make better choices. For example, there are empty calories in fruit juice, soda, liquor, and beer that we tend to forget about when trying to achieve weight loss. When you write down how many calories a margarita has, it may influence you to make a better choice for a lower-calorie drink, like a vodka tonic."
Do you have any advice for kettlebell or bootcamp newbies who might be nervous about trying something new?
"It's good for your body to try new exercises. The idea of cross-training is used in many athletic and fitness programs, which prevents injuries and improves endurance, strength, and balance. But first, if you have any injuries, aches, or pains, get an okay from your physician or physical therapist before you begin any exercise program.
Kettlebells are the ultimate for strength, cardiovascular, and flexibility. But they can be intimidating, and form is key. The best way to start is by getting a certified kettlebell instructor to give you private lessons, so you can learn the proper technique before you join a class or train on your own.
Boot camps can range from mild to intense. You may want to pick a boot camp or small group class that can still give individual attention to each classmate. I teach many 'mommy' boot camps throughout Northern Virginia, and my classes have only four to five women. Each person gets to focus on their own strengths and weaknesses, and not get overpowered by the size of the class. Pick a boot camp that has a certified personal trainer who knows your personal goals."
Finally, do you have any New Year's resolutions unrelated to fitness?
"I am seeking more work/life balance in my busy schedule and personal time. Since I work seven days a week at various hours of the day, I am trying to not to become so overwhelmed with my work life that I jeopardize my personal and social life. I would like to schedule some 'personal time' just like I schedule my work commitments, when I can visit different historical sites throughout D.C., museums, theaters, and new restaurants. I'd also like to acquire a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist [title] through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, which will allow me to become more proficient in athletic and performance enhancement training."
Noah Gabriel-Landis, District CrossFit
Noah Gabriel-Landis was so taken with the strength and conditioning program CrossFit, he left his career in the financial sector to become a full-time coach at District CrossFit. Now he helps athletes achieve their fitness and personal goals through a series of pushups, sprints, burpees, and other interval exercises that will make you feel like a badass. Get started at District CrossFit's New York Avenue NW location or the new SW location, a 10,000-square-foot gym that opened this fall.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have any fitness or nutrition goals for yourself in 2013?
"For 2013, I'd like to snatch 270 [pounds], clean and jerk 335 [pounds], and hopefully send a team to the CrossFit games."
For those who want to get in better shape, what are the most effective type of goals or resolutions to set?
"Whatever your goal is, try and formulate it in such a way where you can measure your progress incrementally throughout the course of the year. Take my personal goal, for instance: I still have some room to go before I get to the weights and numbers that I listed, but it's easy to track my progress numerically. If I add a few pounds to my lifts this month, a few next month, and continue to climb the ladder, it's much easier to stay on track. And even if I don't quite get to that 270 snatch, say, I won't be totally discouraged, because I can easily see how far I've come.
On the other hand, say your goal is to do a pull-up. If you're not tracking and training the right way, there really isn't a whole lot of room between zero and one pull-up. It's pretty easy to be stuck at zero for a while and get discouraged, which is when we tend to say 'screw it' and give up. For the record, I think doing a pull-up is a great goal, as long as you're working toward it in a way where you can measure your progress without ambiguity."
What are some tips to help keep on track with fitness or healthy eating goals throughout the year?
"The bottom line is it that you have to figure out a way so that you enjoy it. If you think of your health, fitness, and nutrition as a chore, you're doomed before you even get started. Have you ever heard of anybody that stuck with any type of fitness or nutrition plan despite the fact that they hated it? Of course not. It needs to be a part of your lifestyle, not something on a to-do list. This is exactly what I tell our members. If you think of your personal well-being as a burden, then something is wrong — period. Nobody that we work with comes in day after day out of a sense of obligation. They do it because it's fun, and because it feels great. Your body craves things that are good for you. Crazy concept, right? I realize that this may sound like hyperbole to anybody that's fallen off the wagon a time or two, so to speak. I'm not asserting that it's easy to find this type of thing in your life — I'm just saying that it's possible."
Is there any advice you can give to a beginner who might be intimidated to try CrossFit? What can CrossFit newbies expect?
"We answer this question a fair amount. I suppose the best that I can say is that the vast majority of what you see of CrossFit through the media and via reputation applies mostly to the very, very elite competitive CrossFitters. Of course, the athletes that you see on TV or in magazines are the cream of the crop, but that by no means implies that you must have a certain base level of fitness or competency to begin. While every gym operates independently, the vast majority of facilities are welcoming of everybody. At our gym, we have elite competitive athletes, beginners, children, grandparents, and everything in between. And frankly, that's far more representative of the CrossFit community than any portrayal you're likely to see through any media. There's probably nothing that I can say that will completely alleviate a feeling of nervousness. But hey, the greatest room for self-improvement lies just outside of what's comfortable anyway, so jump in!"
Finally, do you have any New Year's resolutions unrelated to fitness?
"Well, in a round-about sort of way, not really. My perspective is that fitness, health, and even happiness are all intertwined with each other. Any resolution I set will be related to at least one of those things. So in essence, it's tied to all of them. But for something less directly related: I've been saying for a quite a while now that I'm going to learn how to can and preserve fruits and veggies. 2013 is the year."

Christine Kontra, The Studio DC
Christine Kontra's yoga practice began as a way to avoid running injuries, and blossomed into a love for yoga's physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. As a yoga instructor, she is passionate about helping students build their own practices, whether that's perfecting their downward dog or getting into a handstand for the first time. She currently teaches vinyasa flow, power yoga, and workshops on everything from arm balances to mindfulness at The Studio DC locations in Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle. And in case your New Year's resolutions involve saving money, she's also teaching 90-minute free community yoga classes in Capitol Hill every Saturday from January 5 to February 2, and all levels are welcome.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have any fitness or nutrition goals for yourself in 2013?
"I want to do my first triathlon. I love running and cycling, but the swimming is really intimidating to me! This is the year to find a training group, get in the pool, and sign up for a race. Another goal of mine is to practice many different styles of yoga — especially yin yoga. Yin classes focus on a handful of poses that are held for several minutes at a time. The person who first said, 'It's 90% mental, 10% physical' probably did yin yoga. It's a completely different challenge than a vinyasa or power yoga class, and I always feel like a brand-new person afterward."
For those who want to get in better shape, what are the most effective type of goals and resolutions to set?
"Build upon things that you are already working toward. If you've been setting your sights on a particular goal over the past few weeks, months or even years, use the new year to add an extra degree of clarity or accountability to it. Lay out the next few steps you need to take, as opposed to focusing only on the end goal. Getting started is the toughest part, and once you are on your way, you'll be motivated to keep at it.
If you know you want to get in better shape or eat healthier, but aren't sure what to set as a goal, just start trying new things. Check out a new class, cook a new recipe, or say yes to something a friend has been trying to get you to do together. Commit to opening yourself up to new experiences, and you may find that the best resolutions will be the ones that find you.
Find a way to make it social and have a community to support you. If you know that you are going to see friends when you come to the mat, head out for a run, or make a trip to the farmer's market, you'll be way more likely to go. Having awesome, motivated, and supportive people around you makes a huge difference. I know that when I'm supposed to log five miles when it's chilly outside, or get myself to the yoga studio when it's easier to sit down and watch a TV show, exchanging a text message with a friend is all I need to get going. Make it your resolution to find a yoga or workout buddy, and you will have someone to help support your goals. Most people want one of these anyway, so they will probably be glad you asked!"
Do you have any advice for newbies to yoga who might be nervous about trying something new?
"My best advice is to have an open mind and go into it with the goal of having fun. It's easy to have a lot of expectations when we come to the mat for the first time — for the class, and for ourselves. Start with a beginner's class to learn some basic alignment and build confidence, and if you lose your balance in tree pose — it's okay! It's not about being perfect, but rather about listening to your body and honoring what it needs that day.
For those who like a tough workout but aren't sure if yoga will be challenging enough, I would offer the same advice. I used to have this mindset years ago, but yoga has made me stronger than ever and introduced me to muscles I didn't even know existed. I recommend starting with some beginner's classes and working your way up. Doing power squats in the weight room is a great workout, but knowing how to do them properly allows us to get the most out of them and reduces our chances of getting injured — the same goes for yoga. Get a good foundation and you'll be rocking a Rocket class before you know it."
Do you have any new year's resolutions that are unrelated to fitness?
"Become street-savvy with my bike. Cook more at home and buy more fresh fruits and veggies. Do more writing and journaling — it's always so eye-opening to see what you were thinking days, weeks, months, or even years ago. Take time to sit around and listen to music. When I'm deciding how to spend my time, to ask myself if I'm spending it doing something I love and with people that mean a lot to me, instead of doing something just because I feel like I should. Be a good listener."
Christie Yang, Xtend Bar DC
Been wanting to hop on the ballet-barre bandwagon this year? Christie Yang teaches a high-energy class at Xtend Barre DC, a new studio located in Blagden Alley near the Convention Center. Xtend Barre DC is an offshoot of the the barre program at Georgetown's Fuel Pilates, and Yang's classes pack in strength, cardio, and flexibility training to help you get the most of your 55 minutes at the barre.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have any fitness or nutrition goals for yourself in 2013?
"My nutrition goal is to not eat in front of the television. It's such a deathtrap! I am also trying to increase my protein intake during the day, and I have to admit that I would love to achieve six-pack abs by summer."
For those who want to get in better shape, what are the most effective type of goals or resolutions to set?
"Consistency and cross-training are key. I firmly believe in switching up your routine to avoid mental and muscular boredom and scheduling your workouts like they are any other appointment. Personally, in addition to Pilates and barre, I go to a great boot camp run by Ambitious Athletics with my husband in the early mornings. It's helpful to work out with a buddy who keeps you accountable. I also think tiny changes make a big difference: walking to work, walking to a colleague's office instead of sending an email, and trying to stand when you are using the computer are all great ways to improve your health."
What are some tips to help keep on track with fitness or healthy eating goals throughout the year?
"I think the biggest challenge people have is balancing a healthy lifestyle with the demands of work. I recommend trying to work out in the morning before work or, if you are working out in the afternoon, signing up for a class. It's just too easy to tell yourself that you are going to use the elliptical on your own — then you get distracted by your email or a happy hour invitation, and end up missing your workout!"
Do you have any advice for students who want to try barre classes for the first time, but might be nervous?
"Try it! It's a really fun and friendly environment. All the Xtend Barre instructors are Pilates-trained, so you can be sure you are getting a safe and effective workout. At Xtend Barre, we encourage all levels, and I love it when I see a new face in class."
Finally, do you have any New Year's resolutions unrelated to fitness?
"I have resolved to be more 'in the moment,' which to me means making the best of situations and being thankful for everything I have, especially my awesome family and husband!"

RICHMOND, Va. — They could be described as upstarts or, to use a term popularized in the Bay Area, a startup. No matter what you call them, RVA Football Club didn't behave like meek newcomers Sunday night.
RVA proved to be a rude host to the Sonoma County Sol in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) championship, winning 2-0 at Sports Backers Stadium to capture the title in the team's first season of play.
With RVA up 1-0 midway through the second half on the strength of a Josh Grant goal, the Sol (12-1-3) got past all the levels of the hosts' defense for the only time all night. Cody Martin's shot beat RVA goalkeeper Bill Groben, but bounced harmlessly off the inside of the post before being cleared, ending the Sol's best scoring chance.
"I think we all feel that if that one goes in, we might go on to win the game," Sol coach Vinnie Cortezzo said. "We had a lot of good energy at that point."
Sunday marked the Sol's third trip to the NPSL championship. They won the title in 2009 and lost in the final in 2005.

(315): View more from New York
We were hooking up, both of us naked. She starts putting her clothes back on and says, "I have to go to the bathroom." I reply, "No you don't, you're leaving." Without hesitation she looks at me and says, "Yeah."

We were hooking up, both of us naked. She starts putting her clothes back on and says, "I have to go to the bathroom." I reply, "No you don't, you're leaving." Without hesitation she looks at me and says, "Yeah."
Frankly, since I met you, I practically exist in a state of constant readiness for sex
I hate being near you and not being able to do what I want. It's like a recovering alcoholic tending bar. I feel like Sam Malone. Except I can't bang the cute chick I work with.
You know it's been a rough year when your therapist mouth is just wide open. And I didn't even get to the real issue!
my friend thinks you're hot & wants to fuck you ps i'm my friend
I've friend zoned this boy hard. I made him change my nipple rings before he went home.
Like, he's a nice guy. But he's better at fingering than he is at speaking.
So that's all you want from me. Easy ass.
I say we start a new tradition. I came up with it all by myself. It's called work out, lay out, black out
He walked door to door asking if anyone needed to get laid. Surprisingly, that ended his drought
I told him I wanted to "ride him like a show pony" I think he gets the picture
If we don't get kicked out of this hotel tonight for fucking too loud we're breaking up
Youre attempt to ruin my night by putting Date Rape by Sublime on my sex playlist failed. She was into it.
Is it too forward to say "stop being a good friend and start being a good fuck buddy"
I'm not asking you to commit. I'm politely asking your penis to be my friend.
For once I want to have sex without having to google the after effects of it.
I cannot start working out. If I start to look better, I'll ruin ugly women's chances forever. So, really...I'm doing them a favor...think about it.
I've got a whole match.com system. Triple book. First dates always get the 6pm happy hour drinks slot. 8pm dinner goes to a girl where I think I can close the deal. 10pm slot goes to the sure thing in case of emergency, but 6 can always trump 8 and 8 always trumps 10. Just blame it on a dead iPhone battery.
That, my friend, is how I bang 50 new girls a year. Not luck at all. It's science and statistics.
I knew it was on when he was dancing on stage and I gave him a dollar so in return he ripped my tit out of my shirt and started sucking on it IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAR.
I heard him say "bet you won't", look over 10 seconds later and she's blowing him.....looked eloquent under the glow of a camp fire.
Friend date it is then. Question: Can friends engage in sexual activities after dates?
Dear Penis Owner...our records show that you are overdue for servicing...please contact our friendly associates to schedule a thoroughly satisfying experience today...operators are standing by...
Alright dude i'm gonna go to go sleep off this soberness. my life is a cosmic joke
You know when you blow me it's the softest, most amazing feeling ever. Like putting my dick in a silk bag filled with puppy ears.
The hot guy sitting next to me in the lib is reading a book called "Impersonal sex in public places." How wrong would it be to give him my number when I bounce?
The least you could do before I go into your room is throw away the condom wrapper from the other girl I know you're banging.
She makes walking on a treadmill look like a porno. I wish I could send over shots as an ice breaker.
Someone took a freaking dump on a roll of toilet paper. Next to the toilet. No shit in the toilet. Just on the roll of toilet paper.
MASS TEXT! MASS TEXT! Your sad horny friend has finally gotten it in and can go back to being normal once again. You're welcome.
If I give you a key to my place you have to promise to one day wake me up with a blowjob.
My fingers feel amazing. Their going like 100 MPH!!
during charades she pointed to herself and you guessed 'girl who wants to fuck me'
I drove 5 hours to see her. She thanked me by getting shitfaced, inviting her boyfriend over, and making me sleep on the couch after I cooked for them and did the dishes. You're right. I'm a fucking doormat.
Incoming: this is a booty call. To accept, please reply with an appropriate time. To reject, please reply "N" and the information will be filed for future reference.
Bring single women, or taken women who are unhappy with their relationships, or women who are happy with their relationships but have low moral standards, or women who just like to remove clothing when drunk (relationship status is unimportant for this option)
I mass texted 4 of you for a booty call. Please reply all when responding so only one of you shows up. Last one is a rotten egg.
I feel like strippers are like dogs, the more you show you're terrified the faster they come at you.
I can't tell which way is up. Too many corners around his house too. An arbitary assimilation of edges.
My horoscope told me I'm getting laid tonight. Please don't make the stars be liars
This is the moment in my life where I take a fork in the "nice guy" road ive traveled for 23 years and fuck everything in sight that doesnt have herpes, or is in-between flare ups and I don't know about it until my dick is on fire.
I'm so high I feel like I'm pedaling a bicycle but I'm laying on the couch. My body might be vibrating. I made soup.
i look like a southern belle. however, i am around a million kegs. so i will be a southern shitshow.
am i so blindsided by his great personality that i'm hooking up with an ugly guy?
ME TOO. Am adrunk madr out qith. White guy. Guy de white. Blanco chico. Chico de blanco
And apparently midway I said "hurry up and finish so we can talk about what a bad idea this was"
You'd think if the campus holds 28,000 undergrad I wouldn't run into three people I've hooked up with in one day
The floor and the wall just switched. I'm falling.
I will be sticking my dick in something this weekend. You can either be that something or not. Your decision.
I have so many hands. So. Many. Hands. I can feel arms that I don't have yet. They tickle. I can see the blood in my eyes. I think something is happening. The hands!!! I'm ticking myself with hands I don't have yet! I can't stop giggling about my notyet hands!
oh, i've got big weekend plans. on an unrelated note, do you think viagra will work if the guy is roofied?
Girl your like that last load of laundry... I'll do you eventually just not tonight.
Need help. Super baked. Stuck on couch. Dying of thirst. Bring paint thinner or something to pry me off. Only thumbs and neck work.
Experimentation with dessert toppings followed by shower sex. Only logical progression bro.
I want to do something romantic. Like gargle champagne before I put your dick in my mouth.
I was topless in his bathroom sink taking bong rips , goodmorning . He told me he could get use to this
And then I asked the bartender for my third shot and he told me he had to cut me off at two because this was in fact a family fun center
Yeah dude, it's amazing. Be careful though, that shit is really really intense. Like it's way more intense than normal shit...
I took two and feel like crushed diamonds spread over glazing marmalade
Whales. Broccoli little trees giant. Magic in cat form. I want my loco and juice. Black in shower. Brb remember life.
You obviously dont comprehend the level of insane i operate at
She was telling me which girls she thought I should fuck or not at the bar. Why can't all one night stands be that cool after?
bleeding from the face, sitting in a shopping cart and holding a wad of ripped caution tape. what else would i be doing?
I'm lonelier than Tom Hanks in Cast Away, right meow. Ready to make this bong my Wilson.
If you would give me the chance we might have the two separate pieces of the greatest fuck puzzle ever.
I just want you to sit on my face and to tell you you're pretty. Most girls would leap at this opportunity.
Dude. Apparently I just smoked some stuff that's used for Nigerian spirit quests.
what if cement was really a rainbow color they just secretly paint it grey so as not to distract drivers
hey everyone... booty call? my house tonight. bring friends to fuck my friends.
nah, shes just mad because we went through all her fb pics and tagged her crotch as all the guys shes fucked
Let's face it. We both have sexy parts. Why not have them touch?!
i just woke up and "where the fuck is taco bell" was in my search engine...
Getting high on the stoop of a brownstone in the middle oh harlem. Doesn't get much more hey arnold than this.
All I want in this world right now are Doritoessssss
Nicole wore just a belt and her pedometer and hopped on top of me last night. She "walked" 822 steps before we finished.
I think I left a blow job at your house. Can I come down and get it?
I got so high last night I started crying because i couldn't stop thinking about how scary space is
after I pulled back my foreskin she said, "cool like a transformer". I really like her now.
This is a mass text: my birthday is tomorrow, and I want a full day of birthday sex. Send me your availabities. Time slots begin at noon
she bought me drinks at the bar, made me pizza at her place, gave me head, and then drove me home...i think i might propose
She was so wet my fingers were literally pruney when I got done with her
Proposition. Sex. No words, no talking about it later. I just want you tonight.
Just tried calling my phone on my phone because i thought i lost my phone.
we sat in the hammock and pretended we were skydiving for three hours. jack actually started crying when i convinced him his chute didnt open.
So I heard you only slept with me because you were drunk...is that true?
I am officially superior to you. I said "Go Go Gadget Dick" before I fucked her. I dare you to beat that.
She made me cum so hard I couldn't hear for half an hour after
So dude, she and I just got done having the most amazing sex, and then she rolled over and said that "lets make some tacos" and proceeded to the kitchen... naked... I'm buying the ring tomorrow
On a scale of "impaired judgement" to "Mel Gibson," how drunk are you?
Getting a high five from your dog when you're stoned is one the greatest rewards of being a pet owner.
Im really high right now and the vending machine is broken and giving out free candy. Please kill me, my life will never get better than this
You've ruined blow jobs for me. You were the motzart of sucking dick, where every other girl is like awkward elevator music
I have two black x marks on my hands.
Yep you got cut off last night after a stripper bent over in front of you and you screamed very loudly 'I can see your soul from here'

The 40 Best Windows 8.1 Apps
OneNote I was originally planning to include Evernote here, but while that service's Windows 8 app does let you view, tag, search, and add notes, it's pretty primitive compared with the OneNote Windows 8 app. Unlike the rest of Microsoft Office , OneNote is not a desktop application, but instead offers apps for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC, and Windows Phone, so you're covered when it comes to devices. An insertion wheel lets you add a table, tag, photo, list, or paste to your note. I use this app to take notes at all my vendor meetings, and since I log into the same Microsoft account as on my Windows 8 machine, all my notes were available. I could even play my recording of the meetings, but playback wasn't linked to text as it is in the desktop version.

Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels, and some have disc brakes on all four wheels. The function of the brake disc is to slow down or stop the car. When the brake pedal is pressed the brake pads "squeeze" the brake disc which generates friction.
Brake discs should be replaced when they are worn below the minimum thickness, worn unevenly, warped or heavily scored. Should be replaced in pairs with new brake pads fitted at the same time.

Although he doesn't repeat as MVP, Stuckey was unanimous first team selection and Butorac earns honorable mention for second-straight year
Eastern Washington University basketball players Rodney Stuckey and Paul Butorac were selected to the All-Big Sky Conference team that was announced on Thursday (March 1) following a vote of the nine league coaches.
Stuckey was a unanimous first team selection while Butorac earned honorable mention accolades for the second-straight year. Stuckey was a first team choice a year ago when he was also MVP. Eastern finished the 2006-07 season 15-9 and tied with two other teams for fifth in the Big Sky with an 8-8 mark, but tiebreakers kept the Eagles out of the Big Sky Conference Tournament for the first time in 10 years.
Butorac, a senior and 2002 graduate of nearby Medical Lake (Wash.) High School, finished his EWU career with 98 blocked shots to break the school record of 79 held by Chris White (1998-00). Although no records exist for dunks, he finished with 101, including 41 as a senior.
A career 58.7 percent shooter to rank second in school history behind Eastern Athletics Hall of Fame member Ron Cox, 101 of Butorac's 365 career field goals made were dunks. This year, he made 64.0 percent to currently rank seventh in NCAA Division I and rank second in EWU's history behind the school record of 66.0 set by Cox in 1977.
Butorac played in 113 career games to rank third all-time at EWU. He is the lone returning player from Eastern's 2003-04 team that won the Big Sky Conference regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament.
His first appearance at Reese Court in Cheney, Wash., after he graduated from high school came in summer 2002 when the State beat the City 124-98 in the State 2A All-Star game. In a sign of things to come, he had 15 points, 13 rebounds and six dunks as he was named the game's MVP.
"Paul has had a great career -- one of the most distinguished of any big man in our school's history," said EWU head coach Mike Burns. "He was a hometown product that came from humble beginnings, and he exceeded everybody's expectations. To become a two-time All-Big Sky player, set a school record for blocked shots, rank in the top 10 in the country in shooting and to reach all the statistical milestones he did, those are accomplishments that speak for themselves."
A 2004 graduate of Kentwood High School in Kent, Wash., Stuckey led Eastern to 30 victories in the past two seasons. He was also the Collegeinsider.com Freshman of the Year.
Stuckey is ranked seventh in NCAA Division I in scoring with an average of 24.6 points per game after averaging 24.2 as a freshman. He has broken 10 school records and has a current career total of 1,438 points. In Big Sky Conference statistics (16 games) heading into the league tournament that begins this week, Stuckey led the league in scoring (25.8) and assists (6.3), and was second in steals (2.4), sixth in free throw percentage (.829) and 13th in rebounding (5.3). Butorac was first in field goal percentage (.662), eighth in scoring (15.4), 12th in rebounding (5.5) and 13th in blocked shots (0.8).

Have you ever found yourself in this situation? You walk into the office on a weekday and assume it's going to be a
typical day in the office. However, one of your employees stops by your office and has misplaced their employee ID card
which allows them access into the building and to clock in and out on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this isn't an easy fix
because you outsource your ID cards and it will take a week or more to get a replacement. What you thought would turn out
to be a normal weekday has instantly caused you a headache, right? Wrong!
Having an onsite ID card system gives you the capability to create your own ID cards right from your desktop and

sending out employee information and waiting weeks for a replacement card to arrive. The all-new ID Maker 3.0 has a

everyday in all 37 locations of our quick oil change locations and have commented on how good they look!"
Nancy from Miami, FL "I will continue using the PVC plastic cards. I will also continue using the blue
plastic card because we are hiring more employees. Thank you for the fast and very efficient customer service department!"

The following is an excerpt from Enhancing Raptor Populations – A Techniques Manual, published by The Peregrine Fund. The book is available for purchase in our online store.
Raptors that use open nests can also be induced to use artificial nests for the purpose of augmenting their populations. A number of these species have suffered declining populations at least partly due to loss of nesting places. Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) received the most attention in terms of artificial nests, and building artificial nests for them was among the earliest management strategies designed to help them recover from population declines (Henny, 1977b). Techniques to provide artificial nests include killing live trees to create snags attractive to Ospreys (Glinski et al., 1983) and topping live trees; Airola and Shubert (1981) cut the tops off trees with trunks more than 35 cm (14 in) in diameter and built platforms on the top (Fig. 6C). See some examples of other Osprey nest platforms in Figs. 5-8. Construction details for a variety of Osprey nest platforms to be used in trees, on existing poles or towers, and self-standing nest platforms are given in Ewins (1994). The use of such platforms has benefitted Ospreys by increasing the breeding population, decreasing nestling mortality, and increasing fledging rates (Rhodes, 1972; Postupalsky, 1978; Houston and Scott, 1992).
Ewins (1994) made the following recommendations regarding placement of Osprey nest platforms:
