This is the third and final part in series ( iOS UITableView Tutorial For Beginners – Custom Cells & Delegates ). In this part we are going to create a completely custom cell with images, text and buttons positioned wherever we want them to be. For the buttons to work, we will also learn how to create delegates.

Prerequisites – iOS TableView Tutorial Custom Cells
- Basic knowledge of iOS Development ( iOS – Tutorials )
- Basic knowledge of default Tableview (Read part1 and part 2 of this series)
Final Project – iOS TableView Tutorial Custom Cells & Delegates
In the previous tutorials of this series, we made a twitter like app with default templates provided by Apple of Tableview. In this tutorial, we will make a custom cell so that we can use images, buttons or whatever other object we want to use.
Also, if you remember, we have used delegates before in the tutorials (eg setting self.tableview.delegate = self;). we were just setting the delegates until now, but in this tutorial we will make our own custom delegate as well before setting them. Now the questions arise -
- What is a delegate ? As the name suggests, a delegate is someone who represent someone else. In iOS, we set a class as delegate of tableview. This class tells the tableview that any action on you will be handled by me. In the last tutorial we used a delegate method didSelectRowAtIndexPath. So our class tells tableview that whenever one of your cells is tapped, I will handle what happens next using the method (didSelectRowAtIndexPath in this case).
- Why custom delegate ? For tableview, the default delegate methods are already made by Apple for us and we can use them directly, but if we are making a custom cell, we have to make our own delegate and its functions. We will make a delete button and make a delegate function for it (something like deleteTappedAtIndexPath ) .
Create A New Project
Open Xcode, click on File->New->Project and select Single View Application. Name the project Tableview Tutorial 3 and set class prefix as TVT. Create the project.
- Download the resources here. Unzip them and drag them to your project's navigation panel. Make sure copy items into destination group's folder is selected, leave the rest of the fields as they are and click finish.
- Next, Right click on Tableview Turorial 3 folder in the navigation panel and select new file. Select Objective-C class. Set the class name as TableCell and subclass of UITableViewCell. This class will handle our cell methods, properties and delegate.
Creating Views
- Go to mainstoryboard.storyboard in the navigation panel, select file inspector in the Utilities panel and deselect Autolayout. We will learn about autolayout in the later tutorials.
- Drag a UITableview from object library on our view controller and re-size it to cover the entire screen. Create an outlet in TVTViewController.m or .h and name it tableView.
-Keeping the tableview selected, click on attributes inspector and set the following properties
- Content – Dynamic Properties
- Prototype cells – 1
-Next click on the cell that shows when you set Prototype cell =1 and set the properties
- In the identity inspector set class as TableCell (the name of the class we created before). This will link the cell's view to our custom class.
- In the attributes inspector, set Style as custom and Identifier as TableCellID
- In the size inspector, check custom and set row height = 150.
-Let's make our cell more custom by giving it a different syle. On the newly created cell, make the following changes -
- Drag an imageView to fill out the entire cell and set it's image as cell_bg.jpg. This will act as cell background
- Next drag a button and place it somewhere on the lower right. Set it's image as delete.png. Also create an IBAction as deleteTapped in the class TableCell.m
- Drag another imageView and place it somewhere on the middle left and set it's outlet as cellImage in TableCell.h. This will be used to show a thumbnail for each cell.
- Drag a UILabel whereever there is some place left on the cell and set it's outlet as title.
Your cell should look something like this -
Let's Code -
We will first setup our cell to show the title and corresponding thumbnail image and later on we will make a custom delegate for our cell for delete button to work.
Replace the TVTViewController.h with the following -
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import "TableCell.h" @interface TVTViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate> @property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *tweetsArray; @end
Next, replace the viewDidLoad method in TVTViewController.m with -
- (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. //1 self.tableView.delegate = self; self.tableView.dataSource = self; //2 NSDictionary *dict1 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"1.png",@"image", @"Always put your fears behind you and your dreams in front of you.",@"tweet", nil]; NSDictionary *dict2 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"2.png",@"image", @"A relationship with no trust is like a cell phone with no service, all you can do is play games.",@"tweet", nil]; NSDictionary *dict3 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: @"3.png",@"image", @"People should stop talking about their problem and start thinking about the solution.",@"tweet", nil]; self.tweetsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:dict1,dict2,dict3, nil]; }
1)First we set the datasource and delegate of tableview as our current class, i.e. self.
2)We create 3 dictionaries, one for each cell, each consisting of an image and a tweet. The image name is the same as in our resources folder which we downloaded and dragged to our project earlier. We then add these 3 dictionaries in our tweetsArray. Although you should not store your data this way but for the sake of this tutorial, this method should just work fine.
Next add the following tableview methods below viewDidLoad in TVTViewController.m -
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { return self.tweetsArray.count; } -(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { return 150; } -(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"TableCellID"; //3 TableCell *tablecell = (TableCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier]; //3.1 you do not need this if you have set TableCellID as identifier in the storyboard (else you can remove the comments on this code). Do not use this code if you are following this tutorial //if (cell == nil) // { // cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier]; // } //3.2 NSDictionary * dict = [self.tweetsArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]; tablecell.title.text = [dict objectForKey:@"tweet"]; UIImage *imageIcon = [UIImage imageNamed:[dict objectForKey:@"image"]]; [tablecell.cellImage setImage:imageIcon]; //4 return tablecell; }
3) Here we are using TableCell *(our custom class ) instead of UITableViewCell * so that we can access our custom properties (cellImage and title) directly from here.
3.2)We fetch the dictionary corresponding to the cell using indexPath and set our cell's title and image.
Run the App (Command+R) and you should be able to see your first custom cell. Only the delete button will not work which we will handle now!
Custom Delegates – iOS TableView Tutorial
We are now going to create our very first custom delegate. You have been setting tableview.delegate = self; many times before without knowing whats really happening. Well the time has come for you to know the ultimate secret. Well! not so ultimate or secret. Anyways lets start
Firstly, we will create a delegate – Go to TableCell.h and add the following lines of code right before @interface:TableCell and right after #import statements if any -
//5 @protocol TableCellDelegate @optional - (void)deleteButtonTappedOnCell:(id)sender; @end
5) This is how we make a delegate @protocol delegate-name <NSObject>, followed by delegate methods – (such as cellForRowAtIndexPath as in the case of tableview.
Next, add the following property inside @interface and @end
@property (nonatomic, strong) id delegate;
Here the name delegate can be changed to anything. So if we replace delegate as someDelegate, the only difference would be that while setting the delegate we will use tablecell.someDelegate = self;
Your tableCell.h should look something like this -
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> //5 @protocol TableCellDelegate @optional - (void)deleteButtonTappedOnCell:(id)sender; @end @interface TableCell : UITableViewCell @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *title; @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *cellImage; @property (nonatomic, strong) id delegate; @end
Next, go to TableCell.m and add the following line inside our IBAction for delete button -
[self.delegate deleteButtonTappedOnCell:self];
What this does is that whenever delete is tapped on cell, this code is called and the delegates are notified that there is some message for them.
This is all that happens in the back. Now we will set our class TVTViewController as delegate or listener to tablecell's delegate.
Go to TVTViewController.h and replace
@interface TVTViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
@interface TVTViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate,TableCellDelegate>
Sounds familiar, doesn't it? That's what you have been doing before with UITableViewDelegate .
Next go to TVTViewCOntroller.m and add the following line inside cellForRowAtIndexPath right below //4.
tablecell.delegate = self;
this will set the current class as delegate of each cell.
Finally add the delegate method -
- (void)deleteButtonTappedOnCell:(id)sender { NSIndexPath *indepath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:sender]; [self.tweetsArray removeObjectAtIndex:indepath.row]; [self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:indepath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic]; }
This method will be called whenever delete is tapped on a cell. First we get the indexPath for the cell tapped. We then remove the object from the tweets array. We could have called [tableView reloadData]; but we use the above method deleteRowsAtIndexPath for a sweet animation when deleting.
That's it. Run the program and congratulations on reaching this far. The series ends here.

Last night, President Obama signed H.R. 4851, the "Continuing Extension Act of 2010" into law. This legislation includes a reinstating of Medicare physician payment rates as they were on March 31, and postponing the 21 percent cut until May 31, 2010.
The bill was passed by the Senate by a vote of 59 – 38 yesterday evening and was subsequently passed by the House by a vote of 289 – 112 before it was sent to President Obama.
The hold on processing April claims that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) had placed to avoid implementing the payment cut technically expired yesterday. However, with Congressional action so imminent, ASA does not believe many claims were processed at the lower payment rates. ASA has been informed by CMS that any claims paid that reflected the 21 percent cut will be reprocessed automatically without any action required from physicians.
ASA urges Congress to fully repeal the current SGR formula and implement a new Medicare physician payment update mechanism that accurately reflects the increasing annual costs of providing services to Medicare beneficiaries.

A Pimp Is Suing Nike for Not Warning That Shoes Could Be Used as Weapons
A Portland pimp named Sirgiorgiro Clardy wants a $100 million settlement from Nike because he claims that not warning people that their shoes could be used as a deadly weapon constitutes negligence. 26-year-old Clardy is serving a 100-year prison term for kicking the shit out of a johnwho tried to get out of paying, then robbing him and leaving him for dead at the 6th Avenue Moteljust outside downtown Portland. The victim later had to get plastic surgery on his nose.
Testimony in court from psychiatrist Frank Colistro called Clardy a psychopath who is 100 percent likely to offend again, to which Clardy responded by throwing a fit and shouting expletives at the jurors, just like a non-psychopath would. Clardy will be eligible for parole in 36 years, by which time he'll be 62.

Living in the River City of Northeast Florida can have it's perks. Not only do you get to experience all 4 seasons while living in the Sunshine State, but you also have access to 1 of the best Zoos on the east coast. (In my opinion.)
So, my kiddos and I took advantage of a beautiful/semi-chilly day and spent it at the Jacksonville Zoo, followed by a trip to our favorite park.
She will be something someday, you can count on that.
Today, she was my Little Red Slugger. (Left-handed to boot.)
"My word is my bond."
"Ya, junk bond."
Quick, name that movie.
I remember hearing the word bond, in that context, the first time I saw the movie Hook. It was the scene where Jack a.k.a. Peter Pan a.k.a. Robin Williams and his family were on their cross Atlantic flight to England, to honor Granny Wendy, a.k.a. Wendy a.k.a. Violet Crawley a.k.a. Maggie Smith.
During the flight Jack is trying to fix his relationship with his son, by making more promises. You know, the ones that people who habitually break promises always make. Then the scene called for the next 2 lines with a word I wouldn't learn the meaning of for another couple of years.
Jack: "My word is my bond."
Jackie (Jack's son): "Ya, junk bond."
So how junkie are our bonds?
I have some real junkie ones. Like ones a trash man wouldn't even consider junk. They would be so junkie that Webster would have to come up with a new word for it. Which would be impossible, because Webster is dead.
Maybe our bonds are such junk because society says it's okay? I mean if Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) can go back on what he said, why can't I?
My goal, for less junk bonds is to make less bonds. If I don't have a lot on plate, it's easier to give attention to the important things like my wife, my kids, my friendships…
With having an almost 2-year-old and an almost 4-year-old in my house, lessons in honesty are always in session.
But why do we grow up and forget how to be honest? Or does it become harder? Is lying easier?
I am the last to stand up on a pedestal and claim to have been perfectly honest in my soon to be 30 years of existence. But I have matured a bit from when it came natural to lie, as a kid.
My biggest pet peeve and the thing I struggle with not retaliating about, is when someone lies to me and I find out.
I've started doing some web design, while interviewing… for a new job. I thought a good way to get business was to go door to door. Or the now a day version, inbox to inbox/facebook message to facebook message/tweet to tweet.
I've received a lot of "Not right now" or, "I'll keep that in mind" or my favorite, "_________________." I can deal with all of those. I don't blame you for not choosing to go in my favor. Honestly. What I can't stand are the liars. The ones that give me the above reasons and then I stumble upon their website, a few days later.
You won't hurt my feelings if you have someone else working for you. Honestly. The reason I approached you about redesigning your website is because it sucked and I wanted to help you.
Just be honest with me, because I am for sure that I will be honest with you.
I grew up just 30 minutes from Cape Canaveral, before moving to Jacksonville. I never knew how lucky I was to have grown up in and around such marveling feats of science, until I moved away and heard other people be so interested in something I took for granted.
These photos originally appeared in this article, on fastcodesign.com.
If you have a Netflix account, I suggest watching the Discovery Channel's "When We Left Earth".

Lancaster, PA, United States | Member Since 2010
"What is this thing?"
Hmmm.... maybe this is an historical novel? Maybe it is a true crime? Maybe it wants, at the end, to apologize for playing it straight down the middle for a lot of the first three quarters of the book. It started out well enuf... got reeeeeeely slow around the middle and that ending... what was that thing? Couldn't possibly finish that mire. I'll not buy another Howard Blum and the book's attraction to award judges is totally puzzling.
Every male (I can't use the word "man") in NTFG is built around a spine that's wispier than stuff Victoria's Secret uses to make panties. Think of the word "manly" then think of its most extreme opposite. There, you've described every male character in this book.
Actually the mystery here is interesting, and adequately worked out. But these panty-waist guys are so weak… no "weak" is to these creatures is like using the word "dull" to describe Uncle Dan's family slide show. Barclay's women are shrews, his males pansies and this story what happens when the word man is surgically separated from the word testosterone.
As for Christopher Lane… I guess this was work. We all need to make a buck, and this chore was probably better than digging ditches in winter during a storm.
"Yikes Is This Improbable!"
I really like Amanda Jaffe, Phillip Margolin's star character here in Wild Justice. And yeah, Margolin is like a great carpenter, but in this case, not a designer of fine furniture. There's a difference, right? While he puts the story together with competent precision… Well if this story were a cabinet, it'd sure have a lot of gaps, holes, bulges, clashing colors, and improbable joints.
Still, I listened to the end because Anna Fields is a terrific actress (can't wait to hear her tell me more stories) and Margolin is a master carpenter and its entertaining to watch him saw, bang, paint, and join stuff. I'll get more of his books, but like a quarter mile secret tunnel snaking out beneath a suburban home… This one's too improbable to believe.
If I had it to do over again… Nope, I wouldn't.
"WOW! I mean…. W.O.W.!!!!!!!"
This is just plain, old fashioned…. THRILLING!!!! Okay, Paul Hecht doesn't even try to do female voices. FUGEDABOUDIT! This thing is perfectly designed to entertain till almost the last tick of the clock…. LITERALLY! Totally liked it. Recommend it. A blast from beginning to end.
"A Fulcrum Moment Uncovered"
There are times on history's vector when its slope doesn't just get steeper but when the damned thing gets discontinuous… it doesn't slope upward as much as it takes a big step. Here Stephen Greenblatt meticulously reveals one of those leaps… or as he calls it… The Swerve. Don't worry, your eyes won't glaze in spite of that word "meticulous" up there. This is scholarly yet popular history writing wedded. And Edoardo Ballerini leads us through with patience yet with all of the appropriate drama. Nowhere does he make this seem a lecture… rather more like a good thriller. I liked it… And have bought the physical book as presents for a number of friends thanks to this listen.
"Gripping? Yeah… Gripping Will Do"
Spy versus spy. A LeCarre mood of multi-crossing darkness. A tale of momentum as the moral alternative. Pace comes fast, morality a lot slower. Intellectually, that's a good thing in this middle eastern drama. Emotionally though… that's where the questions burble up. Silva is masterful and George Guidal is, as usual… the perfect ensemble creator with a voice that wraps around dialects he thrives in international thrillers… just like this.
"Not Coban's Best, BUT Still a Coban."
Oh so much belief to suspend here. At times the plot has more holes than a lace shawl. BUT it's still a lace braided with precious thread. I'm guessing this is an early Coban. But the ending's plausible if you buy Coban's set up and Coban's strength is in set up.
Frankly, if you/ve not read this author before… don't start with this. If you have read him, don't expect as much. Ed Sala does a journeyman job.
"Kill Pan! But Read "Think Of A # first'!"
Okay, the ending's WAAAAAAY over the top. But John Verdon's created a killer villain and a complexly credible hero. And all of the threads are neatly plaited together in the end. Dave Gurney's all flawed up. And his home life's a rich stew that's on the verge of going as bad as his cases.
In fact, the tension between the Gurney's is as gripping as main plot. I wish Madeline Gurney stayed true to her character as chaos explodes. Still, this is a classic series that you should start with "Think Of A Number", the first in the series. Why have the flashbacks here ruin the plots of the three earlier Gurney novels?
Once again, Robert Fass makes this cast his own. It'd be difficult for me to imagine Gurney through another voice.
"Meyer Can Tell A Story"
I can imagine a dad reading this to his child, and enjoying it at least as much as the listener. Of course there are the required dense paragraphs of double-talking scientific gobbledygook that modern sic-fi authors need to numb the reader into suspending disbelief. And of course I don't pay attention to any of it. Why not just employ a shortcut like warp-drive oe whatever to move us into the plot? Hey, I paid for this thing to be amused, entertained, maybe even awed. Not distracted by a magician's trick.
Ah well, everyone's doing it today. In fact I even gave up Neal Stephenson who eventually gave up writing plot for just so much "look at how smart I am" blather. But Meyer gets over that stuff and tells a fun Harry-Potter kind of story.
I liked it. Definitely because of the great job that Luke Daniels did in reading to me.
"An Artist Can Use Old Tools"
The twin entwining plots of this tale are as classic as the names Asimov, Clarke, and Bradbury. But look, plots are to writers as brushes are to painters. I don't know a composer who fails to diddle with key, or photographers who avoid negative space because others have used it. Nope… they're all tools.
And so in "Factoring" Sawyer churns at least two mature hunks of red meat through his grinder, mixes them with clever spices, then cooks and presents the dish deliciously. If there's a problem it's that he's got a tendency here to get pretentious and a tad corny. But hey… corn sells with me, especially when it's popped, hot, buttered and salty.
Katherine Kellgren's very good and perhaps, given the echoes from romance literature, we'll the book fits better into the mind and mouth of an excellent woman. Kellgren's made it her own.
"Another Perry Smash"
Maybe I'm still reeling from Michael Kramer's disappointing reading of Perry's mediocre "Dead Aim", but I'm a little more critical of him than in the past. Especially since I listened to Shelly Frasier exciting read of Perry's 'Nightlife' since I heard the disappointing 'Dead Aim'. Okay, I'll recover, and really, this Kramer reading keeps him within the top ten talents I've enjoyed at Audio Books.
'Silence' is serious, but very serious. fun. No, it's not comedic tromp by any imagination. It's about killers, blood, baseball bat beatings, and all of the other good stuff we live for in current mysteries (!) And Perry's characters are each solid links in this story's chain.
You are lucky if you've not heard a Thomas Perry novel… Why? Because so far, except for 'Strip' and 'Dead Aim' I've heavily enjoyed the other ten novels of his I've listened to so far and look forward to more. Perry is one of the best mystery writers today and in spite of the "secrets" that the distressed damsel holds back, almost implausibly, until the novel's end (hence my 4 rather than 5 stars for the story…
This tale of killers versus a riddled-with-ethical-angst, big shouldered P.I. is old school fine. Overall it is more than the sum of its parts.

|January 6
In 1895, on this day Hawaii returned to Home Rule. Since the unification of the Hawaiian Islands by Kamehameha I in 1810, the royal house had controlled the Pacific nation with gradually decreasing power over the nineteenth century.
Hawaii Returns to Home Rule Initially, the kings and queens were unquestionable, but the plagues that ravaged the populace also devastated the dynasty, leaving legislatures to elect the next king. Influence from Europe and, especially, the United States increased, especially after the signing of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875 in which the two became close trade partners. In 1887, after a vicious election campaign in 1873 in which rioters were put down by foreign armies, King David Kalakaua was forced to sign the "Bayonet Constitution" greatly limiting the power of the monarch. Rather than shifting the power into the hands of the people, the constitution placed it firmly into the hands of the wealthy planters and politicians.
Queen Lili'uokalani (pictured) came to power in 1891 upon the death of David Kalakaua and set about regaining power. Her main end was to revoke the Constitution of 1887 and entail her own. Fearful of losing power, the wealthy (primarily white businessmen) formed a Committee of Safety and overthrew the queen in 1893. During the military overthrow, US Minister to Hawaii John Stevens ordered Marines into action supporting the coup from anchor in Pearl Harbor, which had been leased by the United States Navy only six years before.
Outrage both international and local would be voiced, but none enough to force the planter-led Sanford Dole's Provisional Government out of power. The Blount Report of 1893 and 1894 Morgan Report from the U.S. Senate showed distaste for the illegal use of Marines, but the petitions of Hawaiians were not enough to undo the action. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland made clear that he supported the imprisoned Queen Lili'uokalani and refused the continual petition for annexation. The new US Minister to Hawaii, Albert Willis, used rumors and the Japanese, American, and British naval ships in harbor as an elaborate hoax to show the public's distaste for Dole's government, but Dole refused to give up power. The government reformed itself into the Republic of Hawaii, awaiting a day when a favorable administration would allow the islands to become United States Territory.
While the rest of the world stood by with wrinkled noses, local Hawaiians were organizing to retaliate. Led by men such as former Head of the Royal Guard Sam Nowlein and Robert Wilcox, who had studied military action in Italian academies in a royal program ended with the 1887 Constitution, the Royalists collected troops among the poor and disenfranchised and armed with them weapons smuggled from San Francisco. On January 6, 1895, Republican police searched the Royalist weapons cache in the home of John Bertleman on Waikiki Beach. Shots broke out, and Royalists surrounded the house, capturing all six of the policemen. Knowing that rumors had turned to reality, Wilcox led the charge that night to attack government buildings while Nowlein rescued the queen from her palace and declared her power returned at 11:59 so that not one more day would be spent under the tyranny of oligarchy.
The Royalists numbered only 500, but they acted with speed and surprise that enabled them to capture Dole and several other government leaders before the Republican Army had time to react. Riots broke out in the plantations in 'Ewa, and Hawaiians hurried out into the streets to show their support for either government. In the chaos, Minister Albert Willis refused to let American or other foreign powers intervene, and, by January 9, the Republic was crushed.
Lili'uokalani rewrote her constitution and led court proceedings stripping Dole and his minions of their properties as well as freeing any indentured workers imported from Asia from their contracts. Representation was granted to the naturalized Asians who had lost their votes in 1887. A special thanks was given to Willis, and Wilcox, now made a duke to match his nickname of "Iron Duke," was named Minister to the United States, meeting with the later President McKinley, whose expansionism Wilcox stifled. Pearl Harbor remained leased by the United States but was not expanded until World War II.
In December of 1941, another expansionistic force would be seen as the Empire of Japan attacked the American base at Midway without warning, leading to a bloody battle even before war was declared. The Hawaiians, close to the United States but with a large Japanese population, declared neutrality. Staying out of the war proved impossible, and King Kamehameha Lane opened his islands for Allied aid while cracking down on any suspicion among Japanese citizens.
The war would prove an economic boom for Hawaii, which would lead to a harsh crash in the 1950s, prompting a coup by anti-royal socialists, mainly of Japanese descent. The CIA funded and armed several counter-revolutions, destroying stability. A new Republic of Hawaii came with a successful revolution in 1989, and a golden age from tourism lasted as developers in the late '90s and early '00s. The Global Credit Crisis struck Hawaii particularly hard, devastating the islands' economy comparable to, though worse than, Iceland.

Ozil reveals Wenger's plan to build Arsenal team around his talents
9/12/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Mesut Ozil has confirmed that his exit from Real Madrid was a case of desire for attention and need from employers and more opportunities to play in the first-team. The German midfielder insists that his decision to leave Real Madrid came when he realized that his future at Bernabeu wasn't the one he had dreamt about.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder claims he is ready to make an impact at Arsenal and help the club end their silverware drought. The Germany international insists Arsenal are top contenders for the Premier League title and his new manager Arsene Wenger is one of the best professionals in his field.
Meanwhile, Wenger has confirmed that Ozil is ready to start against Sunderland on Saturday following the last-minute £42.4 million move on the transfer deadline day. In a press conference at Arsenal's Colney training center, Ozil told reporters that he had received a warm welcome by the club and that he was settling down well.
"Of course we can challenge for the Premier League," Ozil said. "I know the team, I know the talent we have here. Everyone wants to be successful and Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world. We want to achieve things with this team. If course it will be difficult because the league is very balanced, but we work hard to a achieve this.
"We want to play offensive and good football and to keep clean sheets. We want to play attractive football. I can't promise to win trophies, but I promise as a team we will give all to win trophies.
"I feel very good here. It's great to be part of this team. You can see how familiar this club is, when I arrived here everything is great. I feel very well here. The boss is great, I'm sure he will improve me, that is why I decided to come here."
Ozil, who joined compatriots Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker at Arsenal, further revealed that Wenger had plans to build a squad around his talents. The coveted playmaker claims Wenger has talked to him about his role in the team and he is happy with the French boss' decisions.
"It is a very respectful treatment at Arsenal," Ozil added. "This is important for me, to feel good here. This is where I will work every day. I spoke to Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski said this and they were right.
"I would have come here without a fee, that wouldn't be a problem. Of course I am proud of this (price tag), but the most important thing is the manager trusts me. He trusts me.
"When I talked to Arsene on the phone, he was full of respect. Me, as a player, I need the respect and that is why I came here. I don't want to talk about Real Madrid. That topic is over. Hopefully I have many wonderful years here and win many trophies."

You and Three Others Are Approaching a Lake by Anna Moschovakis
The following was written for a literary website which, for administrative reasons, did not publish it. In lieu of offering any new insights into this collection, I'll just reproduce what I wrote last month and did not get published. I was really straining my intellect for an academic-y voice, so I'm gonna go ahead and apologize now for any gratingly pretentious diction you may encounter.
Owing to my recent foray into being employed, I find myself with what I could only describe as the cash version of a "hot beef injection." For that reason I felt obligated to help out when I received an email last month saying that the St. Mark's Bookshop in Manhattan is in danger of closing. Poetry is often very expensive (not unduly, as many poetry books are true objets d'art) so I'm not much in the habit of buying firsthand and, despite having visited the store many times over the past four years, I've never actually bought anything there. But the email urged me to buy some books to save the store, and even though I'm cheap and I prefer the act of owning to that of spending money, I also like feeling self-righteous. You and Three Others are Approaching a Lake has been on my wish-list since Coffee House Press put it out earlier this year, so I snatched it up and now I am a good person/single-handedly saved a threatened New York City landmark (just kidding; St. Mark's Bookshop still needs your help). Moschovakis was a professor of mine in college— she taught a class that sought to help writers reconcile their "sensitive craft" with the horrible, boring world-at-large by way of putting together resumes and cover letters and taking internships and stuff. Her poetry is exceptional, and this book landed her good press and a confounding modeling gig on Oprah.com. You and Three Others… is a smattering of Moschovakis's recent works, but it reads like a single, coherent poem. The tone hops from the chaotic history-lesson-mish-mash of R. Buckminster Fuller's Epic Poem on the History of Industrialization to the strained, perfect tones of George Oppen. What they have in common—and what drives Moschovakis' language— is their didacticism. In "Five Poems About Poetry," Oppen posits, "The question is: how does one hold an apple" and Moschovakis crafts her own version: "What, precisely is your procedure?" She lays hers down plainly. "We start not with theory but with tangible performance." It functions as a proclamation, as well as a framework for the text that follows. The book is organized like a lecture; her first few pages are a practical table of contents for the text that follows. As a former student of hers, her rhetoric was bizarrely familiar. It's astounding how she reconciles the tight economy of her language with pitch-perfect syntax. While the poet's language hardly ventures into lyricism, it could be lauded for its replacement of blustery language and construction with common sense, of which this book is brimming. More miraculous is the convergence of the rhetorical with the personal; You and Three Others… unpacks a cultural system as precisely as the scientific method and transforms into a moving account of the poet's life—where she's worked, what money she's made (she lists her income from every job she's had, including my alma mater. Hey Pratt, I'm disappointed, but not surprised), what books she's read, what websites she's visited. The tangible performance of her experiences inform her theory, which is lain out with textbook clarity— it's a theory of revolutionary openness.

No talking.

This is the final post in discussing the 2 Year Blogging Curse and ways in which to counter the urge to up and quit. We talked about blogging schedules and grabbing specialty plugins, now we'll focus on four new ideas.
Establish a Feature.
A feature is not a meme. A feature is post that periodically appears on your blog and follows a set format. It could focus on a particular topic or idea or style of blogging. For instance you could do an interview once a week. Make it a feature by focusing on interviewing regular blog commentators or established bloggers in your niche or authors published in your niche. Another example is dedicating once a week to podcasting or making a video blog. These two methods are quick ways to reach readers in a new format with the added benefit of changing it up for you.
Generate Ideas.
Take a day to sit down and jot down everything you could possibly think about to write on. Come up with specific ideas for your features, raid your emails for reader inspired ideas, reexamine old posts for new things to discuss, and more. There's plenty of ways to get new ideas and plenty of blog posts out there focused entirely on this concept if you run out of things to consider.
Find a Partner.
Keep yourself motivated by finding yourself a partner. How you set up the partnership is up to you. It could be a highly lucrative beginning for your blog and would have the added benefit of getting another person to be equally invested in the success of your blog.
You might have noticed that your blog is more of an offshoot to another blog you started. If you're struggling to keep two afloat it's time to consider merging them together into one blog. This will make it easier on you and have the added benefit of bringing all your content into one place.
That's it! I've given you ten ideas to give your blog the jumpstart it needs to get past the 2 Year Blogging Curse. Now it's your turn. Have you ever experienced blogging burnout? What did you do to get over it? Share in the comments below!
Keira hails from Love Romance Passion, a site known for it's romance novel reviews. She's a longtime romance reader, a Kindle 2 owner, and a junkie for USA TV shows. She loves marriage of convenience plots and angst ridden breakups that ultimately end up in gooey happily ever afters. You can also find her on Twitter.

Questions? (888) 864-7663
Dense, Fast Growing Privacy Tree
The Siberian Elm tree, 'Ulmus pumila', is the fastest growing deciduous tree we know of and the more you trim, the denser the hedge.
The Siberian Elm is a fast growing, hardy, and drought resistant tree when established. It is one of the first to leaf in the spring and one of the last to shed its leaves in the fall. It is also considered to be a great windbreak tree when planted in rows.
To use as a hedge, plant 10 to 15' apart in the row. Siberian Elm has moderate water requirements until established. Best results are obtained when planted in well-drained soil in full sun.
It is very adaptable, often grows under adverse conditions. Siberian elm is resistant to Dutch elm disease. It provides excellent cover for wildlife.

our work cafe had fresh crawfish in a lot of the specials early this week, and my coworkers and i were talking about how they must have gotten a good deal locally (they source locally).
i wish i knew where, though.
there is a cajun vietnamese place near me (i'm far northwest) that i've been meaning to try, so i better hurry up before the season is over.
re: drdelicious
OK, just give me the address and I'll coe help you eat them ;-)
At least with QSeafood, they are usually good-sized and 99% alive, properly stored, etc.
There were a few years where we were getting $2.99 crawfish, on the table, at Razoo's. They were actually pretty dang good.
re: rudeboy
I like the people there, so I'm loyal to them regardless of prices... Hell, when I was in college we ate crawfish because they were cheap and convenient.
re: frombostontoaustin
Prices should be starting to come down with the warmer weather and post Easter demand drop. I checked the price for the guy that brings them from SE Texas for me and they have dropped nearly 40% in the last two or three weeks.
Also, you can order them from Seafood Lover in Beaumont. He Lone Star overnights them and they hold up amazingly well. I think the shipping cost something like $20 per sack.
re: frombostontoaustin
I thought that I'd replied to this, but for some reason, it was deleted. Based on your post, we went to Pappadeaux's on Monday and got 7 lbs for 2.25 people. We had a good time, and our 2 year old loved the crawfish and crayons. It was a madhouse, but that is the best deal in town right now (or at least before Apr 30th). The boil was very good and spicy. We had a wedge salad on the side - tantalizingly good and absolutely zero nutritional value.
re: rudeboy
fyi, No posts have been deleted on this thread, might have been a posting glitch.
re: dinaofdoom
That's good info - I pass by there on the way home from work. Thanks for responding!
Cypress Grill - hot on the table (and DEE-licious) last week were 6.95/lb, or 16.95 for three pounds. Not the biggest bargain, but fresh, hot, sweet and yummy. Plus, the biggest mojito I have ever been served for three dollars. And, boudin balls.

We had a good meal at Hot Boiled last night. Big juicy mud bugs in a searing hot but sweet boil. Hubby is a New Orleans boy and he liked it. We did the 5lbs for 5.50/lb for 3 people.
Crazy Cajun (in the same strip as Din Ho and Sunflower)... hot on the table... special right now is $5.99/lb with minimum of 3 lbs. It's $7.99 if you don't get the minimum.
Do the HEB'S carry crawfish there? They do in Houston, the prices are .99 a pound for 30 to 40 lb sacks and 1.29 loose. They're having them through Father's Day, and now have them on Thursday through Sunday, with leftovers, if any, on Monday. It sure saves a bunch of money, and these things fly out the door. I often see folks buying two to four sacks at a time.
re: James Cristinian
i saw a sign at the parmer/mcneil HEB a few weeks back, but didn't see them anywhere to gauge their quality and size.
the lake creek location didn't carry them so i think it really depends.
since i haven't tried these and/or stuffed, i am posting this for informational purposes:
"We can bring live crawfish in starting this weekend but are only going to do it if there is enough interest. They are $4.50/lb for live crawfish and we will sell them by the sack. A sack will range from 35 to 40 lbs. If interested, please call the store and let us know how much you would like. If we have enough interest by Wednesday then Tim will drive them in on Thursday and they will be good to boil till Sunday. We will need a $75 deposit per sack which we will process on Wednesday once we determine if interest is sufficient. The balance will be paid when you pick your bugs up."

re: dinaofdoom
Would be nice for some Christmas dishes, although, I'm not sure I have enough Christmas dishes to justify $75 worth of crawfish in December... maybe I could partner up with friends and go in together... hmmmm.... Crawfish pies, stuff mirlitons, crawfish bread, crawfish butter...
stuffed cajun meat market has them for $4.25/lb for newsletter subscribers.
i can forward you the email with the coupon if you really want some and don't get their emails.
re: dinaofdoom
HEB in Leander, TX has live crawfish on sale for $2.49/lbs if bought in a sack....$2.79 for piece-mealing it...as of April 18th, 2011.
re: funkerama
HEB Houston, 1.99 loose, 1.49 sack, and the size is medium to large.
re: James Cristinian
I'm confused what loose is? Does that mean they hand-pick them and put them in sacks to take home? Like are they out in a field or the parking lot or something? That would seriously take all day to pick out 120 lbs of crawfish, but for $0.50 / lb less...
Also, I keep getting these emails from Stuffed about decent live prices, but they always come around Wed or Thurs. Does anyone know if those prices are the same for weekends? I don't have the means or patience to keep them alive til a Sat boil.
re: drdelicious
loose means just from a big bin, crawling around. You don't have to buy a whole sack, so the per pound price is lower.
re: rudeboy
Ohhh. I only bought less than a 30-lb sack once when I lived in a TINY apt off Barton Springs because I had to cook them inside in a pot for etouffee. Last year at Central Market a guy next to me bought 4. I laughed because I thought he was joking. I'm like what are you cookin with 4 crawfish?!?
re: drdelicious
Maybe he was going to give one each to the family, dad Jack, mom Jill, and kids Billy Clyde and Billie Jane. Perhaps he is going to breed them for his own supply. I buy 4 to 5 pounds for myself, plus corn, potatos, and sausage which make great leftoers at work..
re: drdelicious
I think he musta been makin' Cajun bloody Mary's garnished with stuffed crawfish heads like you find in Crawfish bisque. Talk about a lot of work for a killer cocktail.
re: amykragan
That sounds fine :)
re: blueclaw666
Quality, SamBet's and Stuffed all still have them. As well as Fiesta grocery store.

Software Development Projects.
**The following are the current high priority development projects for retroshare.**
Projects Already Underway:
Challenging Projects Looking for Developers:
F2F Broadcasting/Streaming (Live Streaming | Video on Demand )
Design Broadcasting Channels:
Broadcasting Live Content from VLC Outputs, from TV Card, from Webcam, Videofile to RetroShare for
- Live Channels ( Live Streaming )
- Video Channels ( Video Streaming | Video on Demand ).
Target: Not specified yet.
Video on Demand / Video Streaming
Because of the spacial locality between friends, a resource consumer service like video streaming could be implemented. Basically, the idea is to browse a video file on a friend's Files and play it on your computer without first downloading the whole of it and then playing it, but, use your friend's RetroShare as a streaming server and your RetroShare as a streaming client (and vice versa when is the case). Similar idea for audio files.
Target: Not specified yet.
In need of improvement/maintenance:
People / Identities
People Dialog:
- Allow add People as Friend (if GXS ID is PGP associated, needs to be implemented)
- Follow People (add to Following list or Favorites)
- Second View for Favorites
- Manage from Context menu (Follow /Unfollow or Add to Favorites/Remove)
- Add to generate automatically a Channel's Thumb from a video file.
- Channel Poster picture.
Voip/ Video Chat Plugin (Improvements / High )
- Launch an animation for Incoming and Outgoing voice Call
- Notify Incoming Call/ Video Call via Sound and a CallToaster with a Hangup/Pikup Button
- Add for Friendslist context menu "Call" functionality
- Add for Friendslist context menu "Video Call" functionality
- Audio/Video Conference
- Call Group (group video call)
- When Friend Doesn't have Shared Files then doesn't show his Blank Directory in Files.
Private chat

Voting "I like this" and "I dislike this" Feature
The Voting is implemented for Posted Links.
It will be usefull for Gxsforums, gxschannels and Photoshare too.
1. it can used for vote the thread and forum/channel posts 2. it can be used for thx to a usefull thread post 3. it can be used for hide stupid answers when post has too much dislikes 4. display likes and dislikes

- Add Voting for Photos/Albums (Like)
- Add Tagging feature to a photo/photos, tag a Friend on a Photo.
- display published Photos/Albums with thumbnail in News Feed
RS Wiki
As you can see, the current Wiki is a basic framework waiting to be expanded. There are lots of potential improvements... some of the ideas are listed below
- Formatting: No HTML, lets use Markdown or something similar.,
- Diffs, lots of edits will lead to complex merges - a robust merge tool is essential,
- Read Mode... hide all the Edits, and only show the most recently published versions,
- Easy Duplication - to take over an Abandoned or badly moderated Wiki. Copies All base versions to a new group,
- WikiLinks. A generic Wiki Cross Linking system. This should be combined with Easy Duplication option,to allow easy replacement of groups if necessary... A good design here is critical to a successful Wiki ecosystem,
- work out how to include media (photos, audio, video, etc) without embedding in pages, this would leverage the turtle transfer system somehow - maybe like channels.
- Comments, reviews etc can be incorporated - ideas here are welcome.
- Any other suggestion???

Left with tornado damage, Ala town blaming FEMA
Monday - 11/19/2012, 5:34am EST
By JAY REEVES
Associated Press
CORDOVA, Ala. (AP) - Main Street in this old mill town looks about the same as it did the day after tornadoes killed about 250 people across Alabama a year and a half ago: Battered red bricks and broken glass litter the pavement, and the buildings still standing are rickety and roofless.
The entire one-block downtown, still deemed unsafe, remains sealed off by a chain-link fence. City officials blame the Federal Emergency Management Agency, saying the money to demolish skeletons of the old buildings is mired in miles of red tape.
When one request for photos or historical documentation is met, FEMA makes another, the mayor and others in this town of 2,100 say. One crop of workers is replaced by another, forcing locals to constantly explain their problems to new people.
"It's very frustrating," said Mayor Drew Gilbert, a 25-year-old Cordova native who served on the City Council before taking office this month. "You would think it's been touched and seen now by everyone who needs to touch and see it."
On April 27, 2011, dozens of tornadoes ripped across the southeast, spawned by freakish weather. Hundreds were killed and thousands of homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, causing more than $1 billion in damage.
While cleanup and demolition projects are moving along in devastated communities like Tuscaloosa and Hackleburg _ where wrecked homes and businesses are mostly gone and new ones are slowly being built _ Cordova's downtown stands out as an eerie reminder of the destruction.
FEMA officials say they're only doing their job in Cordova, documenting damaged buildings and covering all the details before providing money to tear them down.
"This project involves demolition of multiple historically significant structures and requires that FEMA consider all pertinent environmental and historic preservation laws before funding the project," the agency said in response to questions from The Associated Press.
Yet the process has been baffling not just for local residents but to the head of historic preservation for the state, Elizabeth Brown.
"I think FEMA needs to give their people in the field more latitude," said Brown, preservation officer for the Alabama Historical Commission. "It seems things have to keep going back up the chain."
Brown said the demolition process seems to be taking longer than usual in Cordova, but government rules don't set out a strict timetable for such decisions since needs and damage can vary so greatly from one place to another. Town leaders say FEMA has never given them a firm timetable.
Located in coal country about 35 miles northwest of Birmingham, Cordova began in the 1880s at a spot where two railroad lines converged. A textile mill operated in town for about seven decades before closing in 1962.
The mill's failure displaced 800 workers and sent Cordova into a tailspin. Most of the 19 or so buildings in the downtown block were vacant and deteriorating by the time the twisters struck last year.
Many people left town for work in metro Birmingham or nearby Jasper before the twisters, and there are even fewer jobs in Cordova now aside from schools, a bank, a pharmacy and a health clinic. The town's sole grocery store was wiped out and has yet to reopen; a convenience store near the battered downtown block has closed, too.
Cordova Fire Chief Dean Harbison, who also serves as the town's recovery coordinator, said FEMA was helpful at first.
"They've provided us some money," Harbison said. "But as far as recovery, they've slowed us down."
A long-term plan sponsored by FEMA initially recommended reclaiming downtown Cordova, but Haribson said an in-depth examination revealed major structural problems and city officials decided to demolish the entire block.
The mix of privately and publicly owned buildings with shared walls and varying amounts of damage proved confusing.
"You'd think they've encountered that before," Gilbert said. "But it's been a problem."
Town leaders didn't anticipate historical considerations being the main roadblock to demolition because the damaged buildings weren't on state or national historic registers, but FEMA started asking for photos and reports documenting the buildings' past and architecture, Harbison said.
After two rounds of requests and a conference call, FEMA finally sent its own photographer to document what's left of the city on Oct. 29, he said.
"They're saying they should be finished with the review by Jan. 4," said Harbison. That means no decision will be made on whether to fund the demolition will be made for at least two more months, he said, and the two-year anniversary of the tornadoes could pass with the fractured buildings still looming over Cordova.

PharmTech Conference Coverage: FDA and Pfizer Call for Cultural Change in Industry
We've all heard that quality by design and science/risk-based approaches to pharmaceutical manufacturing require a paradigm shift among industry. Well, that message was reinforced again today at the 3rd Annual Pharmaceutical Technology Conference in Philadelphia, PA.
Christine Moore, acting deputy director of the Office for New Drug Quality Assessment at FDA, said that industry needs to be more willing to share information with regulators. In the past, industry may have been afraid to share details for fear of receiving more questions from the agency. But with the quality initiatives being undertaken by FDA, said Moore, it's now okay to say, "There are risks with our product." FDA just wants to know that you can control those risks, she said.
It's also important to make sure your company has the financial and management support it needs to implement quality by design and quality systems. You have to be able to colloborate with and work with other departments and functions involved in your product's life cycle, including with other regions in our growing global pharma market, explained Moore.
Gerry Migliaccio, vice president of quality at Pfizer Global Manufacturing, added to Moore's point. Pfizer, says Migliaccio, has seen first hand all the benefits that can come from using QbD-based manufacturing, including saved cost and time. But to accomplish this, the company had to change its thinking. For example, instead of approaching a problem with corrective action, they focus on continuous improvement throughout the product's full life cycle. Instead of analyzing proven acceptable ranges, they focus on design space. Instead of working toward blind compliance (i.e., doing what works to obtain regulatory approval), they work toward science- and risk-based compliance, which satisfies the regulators and can be justified scientifically.
This shift in process and thought is not expected overnight but it is taking over the industry. Moore reported that FDA is now receiving more QbD-based applications than it received during the CMC pilot program, which began in 2005. But, added Migliacchio, more culture changes are pending. With fading blockbusters, increasing costs, and additional IP challenges and safety concerns, industry also needs to be rethinking its full supply chain and examining it in ways it never has before. For example, said Migliaccio, Pfizer is now sending its ICH Q8 managers on site to ensure that suppliers are using and following a quality system. The company is also working to monitor pricing and supply gaps and working to help emerging markets that have immature regulatory systems to learn how a process and quality management system should work.
FDA and industry worked together the past several years to draft, approve, and implement the ICH quality guidances, Q8, 9, and 10. But today, much more work is outsourced to markets outside of the ICH region, such as India and China. It's up to industry, says Migliacchio, to train the companies we outsource to. And if they don't comply, we have to avoid buying from them or contracting with them. This requires yet another cultural change among pharma. But all of these changes—this re-education if you will—are critical to keeping our supply chains and products safe.
