I defined a custom initWithCoder method because I'm trying to make custom tool bar items. I have 5 view controllers in my storyboard, each with a custom class. They are all child classes of the initial view controller's class. The main problem is that instead of just changing the image of one classes tab bar item, it changes the image of each tab bar item that is pressed. Also, the images aren't changed to the unselected tab bar item image when the tab bar item is unselected. Each child classes view controller receives the same init method. My main problem is how do I make it so that each class, regardless of child or parent, receives a different init method?
-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder
if (self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder])
[[self tabBarItem] setFinishedSelectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"RedStar2.png"]
withFinishedUnselectedImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Star3.png"]];
//instead of just changing the image of the class's tab bar item, it changes the image of all
classes tab bar items
[[self tabBarItem] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor
redColor], UITextAttributeTextColor, nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
return self;
The keywords "first" and "second" are both called 5 times when the application is run. Each view controller has a custom class.

Acting Chief Richard Hoppes
- Filed Under
In April 2009, the Salisbury Fire Department's 20th chief, David See, announced his retirement, and Rick Hoppes, a veteran firefighter of more than two decades, was appointed acting chief, until a permanent replacement could be found.
Hoppes served as de facto fire chief until Jeff Simpson, a career firefighter from Virginia, became the city's 21st fire chief in October 2010. Hoppes graciously expressed his gratitude at the opportunity to serve and stepped aside for a little more than a year.
When Simpson resigned in January 2012 after little more than a year in the post, Hoppes again stepped up when asked while another search was undertaken.
A month later, Mayor Jim Ireton nominated Hoppes for the permanent position, setting off a new firestorm of controversy over the lack of a formal search process.
That was a year ago.
No new candidates have been proffered and there has been no indication that the council will relent and appoint Hoppes.
One of two things should take place now: Ireton should provide additional candidates for the council to consider or the City Council should reconsider and approve Hoppes for the permanent position.
Either way, city residents are owed an explanation. Ireton has explained his position; he has the chief he wants.
Instead of hiding behind "personnel matters," tell us why this man who has capably managed the department for the better part of the past four years on an interim basis cannot be the department's official 22nd chief.
But first, show some leadership and make a decision.

Linux Foundation Announces Linux Developer Network beta
On August 7, Brian Proffitt, former Managing Editor of Linux Today and the new LDN Community Manager, announced the beta release of the Linux Foundation's Linux Developer Network.
In an interview with Linux Pro Magazine, Proffitt said that the Linux Developer Network site is intended to be a central repository of knowledge and tools for developers. Currently, the focus is on application development, but the network should soon grow to include development in other areas, such as cloud, kernel, and embedded Linux systems. Proffitt says that the goal is for the site to become, "... a – if not the – place for Linux development."
The "nifty component," according to Proffitt, is the Linux Application Checker. Proffitt says that the AppChecker, which is still in beta but usable now, gives developers web-based reporting with specific feedback about what you need to do to make your application portable.The AppChecker is available for download on the Linux Developer Network site.
Although Proffitt has only been in his new community manager role for LDN for about three weeks, he says the transition is going well. He added, "It's good to be acting in the community instead of just observing."

Comment - Spirits - Scotch: Hoist by its Own Petard?
By Richard Woodard | 17 March 2011
A recent product extension in the Scotch whisky category has caught Richard Woodard's eye this month. While the move is certainly a positive in its use of innovation, it also shows how difficult it is for such innovation to make a breakthrough in the category. It's also got a rubbish name, says natural brunette - albeit with silver flecks - Woodard.
The name's awful – absolutely awful – but an apparently minor on-trade launch in Scotland this month taps into arguably the most crucial issue currently facing the whisky industry. The Ginger Grouse – I told you it was bad – is a pre-mix of The Famous Grouse blended Scotch and ginger beer, delivered via a branded bar tap in nine bars across Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Premixes? Hardly ground-breaking stuff, is it? And yet, relative to much product-related innovation with the Scotch sector, it's so far outside the box that the box isn't even in shot any more. After all, this is the sector where it's considered daring if you launch a 14-year-old instead of a 12-year-old – or finish your whisky off in a Burgundy barrel for six months. Steady now.
I don't mean to be (too) critical. The age statement thing, whatever my reservations about Chivas Brothers' The Age Matters campaign, has been a singularly useful piece of consumer signposting for Scotch for years. So what if consumers don't fully understand what it means or that it isn't necessarily a guarantee of quality? It gives them a rule of thumb for price, if not excellence and, most important of all, it's easy to understand.
But, anyone in the spirits world can stick an age statement on a bottle – rum and Armagnac do it all the time, and even Cognac has got in on the act recently – so it can scarcely be argued that Scotch has this territory all to itself any more.
In mature markets like the UK, where the Ginger Grouse has been launched, blended Scotch in particular badly needs to come up with a reason for someone other than greying men in suits to buy the product. Young people. Women. People with a pulse.
And, this is where I can't help feeling that the extremely strict rules governing Scotch whisky production aren't doing the industry any favours – as if the lengthy lead-in times and need for long-term stock planning with any aged spirit didn't make things hard enough.
I find the comparison with rum instructive here – because it illustrates both the flexibility that looser regulations can give in terms of innovation, as well as the inherent dangers.
The rules governing age statements in rum are bewilderingly inconsistent, so that's a black mark to start with. And, I think the frankly bizarre assortment of fruit-flavoured rums prevalent in the US especially don't do either the category or their parent brands (step forward, Bacardi) any favours at all.
By contrast, Scotch can point to its "purity of production" rules – basically, you can't add anything – as a tried and tested means of preserving the sector's authenticity, provenance, consistency and sheer honesty.
That's a fair point. But then, consider spiced rum, which research tells us is currently pulling so-called 'new consumers' – that's people under 35 and, shudder, women – to the broader rum category. Lured in by the approachable flavours of, for instance, Morgan's Spiced, these consumers then embrace the broader rum category in all its glorious variety, or so the argument goes. And, has spiced rum in any way compromised the identity or authenticity of the rum sector in pulling this off? I can't see it.
The trouble is that Scotch can't do the same thing – or at least not in the same way. The result is the Ginger Grouse. It sounds like a perfectly good idea to me (but the name… okay, I'll shut up); however, I'd argue that it would be a bit less, well, clunky in innovation terms if it was a self-contained new whisky product, rather than a pre-mix whisky-plus-mixer product.
Nonetheless, I'm open to persuasion and, on the broader point, many will maintain that the risks in tinkering with Scotch's rules outweigh the potential benefits… Either way, more experienced heads than mine are considering the issues, not least through a survey of the whisky industry (not just Scotch) recently launched by just-drinks.
This squarely focuses on innovation and asks some of the searching questions I've attempted to address here, as well as exploring just how high a priority innovation is to the global whisky industry.
We've had hundreds of responses, and our survey said…
Well, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait until all is revealed at next month's World Whiskies Conference. I will say this: The results are very interesting indeed.
Aren't I a tease?

I loved it. I tried to watch Lost after a two hour long bio lab and it was just too much for me. This show was just so calming for some reason. I don't know how to explain it.

But they gave that very informative and lengthy disclaimer at the end of the show that this was a complete fabrication and no parts of the episode were based on real events, people, or medicine. And they also gave information on where people can go for information on autism. Seriously, the man saw a train in the middle of his office building...how close to reality are you trying to get?

I had an issue with the episode for it's content, In the first episode he's shown winning a case that suggests that the mercury - based preservative thimerosal - which is no longer used in vaccines - may lead to autism. Childhood vaccines save lives and do not contain mercury. the episode is fiction vaccines are safe and effective vaccines do not contain mercury-based preservatives there is no scientific link between vaccines and autism I work for an org. that urges parents to get their children vaccinated and this was just too much!

I really wanted to love it, but I'm not totally sold yet. A lot of the time the pilot episode can be a little off and the rest of the series is better. I'll probably watch it two or three more times, then we'll see. I think it's to "quirky" for America to really embrace it, though.

I liked it, but I will have to see a few more, before I can say I loved it.

PS: While the show bares some strong resemblance to Ally McBeal...that is the nature of television. "Original" television programming is very, very hard to come by. I believe the two most original shows on now are probably LOST and Pushing Daisies...everything else is pretty much a slightly altered cut-out of something else!!!

There is a special place in my heart for Victor Garber (spy daddy). I wasn't home last night, but for him I will defintely give it a shot next week. :-)

I thought it was cute and I giggled every time George Michael came on. It was nice to watch a new show, not just new in content, but just completely new. I'll watch next week with the hopes of seeing George Michael again. The acupuncturist and the assistant were great too.

As someone who works in the Conflicts & Ethics department of a law firm I kept wanting to throw something at my tv. It would be impossible for Eli Stone to represent the mother when he was already defending the big corporation on the same case, for various reasons that I won't go into. I would imagine the storyline was just as implausible for anyone working in the medical field. Writers- please do some research! Also it seemed like Eli Stone went way too quickly from asshole lawyer to a nice guy and "defender of the people." They should have dragged that out over a lot more episodes for better character development. I will watch another episode because there isn't much else to do on a Thursday night, but I'm not in love with it so far.

It was cute, but a little too 'tidy'. I don't dig shows where everything gets wrapped up in a nice little package at the end. It gives me no incentive to watch again. I only watched for the LOST promo (which was just meh...ok) anyhow. I may check it out in the future, but I don't feel like I'd be missing out if I missed most of the episodes. The characters weren't too terribly developed either. You know the numbers will be skewed from last night anyhow as most people probably got suckered in due to LOST and not because the show looked so great!

Jonny Lee Miller sold it and I liked the surprise Tom Cavanaugh appearance, plus Victor Garber is always so good. The unaired version was supposedly "better" but the actors are charming so I'll give it a chance (plus, Berlanti).

I didn't mind it! I totally want more scenes with the assistant though. She was hilarious. I know its only a 60 minute show, but I thought he would have put up more of a fight to go with the whole "faith" thing. I also thought it was a very similar to Ally McBeal.

It was worth seeing it for Jonny Lee Miller and the George Michael cameo. Seriously. Otherwise, it's not too bad--it's definitely nice to catch an episode of a TV show that I haven't seen already--and I'm sure I'll watch the next episode. Will George Michael be back for next week, or can we expect a different singer each time? Hmmmm...

Spring Break, for many, conjures up visions of snockered college kids carrying around drinks with names that could make a sailor blush and, worse, taste of gasoline mixed with bad perfume. And while we might make fun of these scantily-clad, sandy revelers, I'll bet many readers feel a twinge of sadness when spring break starts and southern beaches around the country begin to fill.

Saturday, March 24 marks the 50th birthday of the Monorail, Seattle's iconic and "futuristic" train that connects Seattle Center and the downtown Westlake shopping center. For such a short and kooky ride, the Monorail evokes lots of love and nostalgia among locals. If you share these sentiments, take a minute to enjoy one of these expressions of appreciation for the train's dutiful 50 years of service:
1. Play the Monorail Video Game
Forget riding the monorail, ever dream of driving it? Evidently, 14-year-old McKaulay Kolakowski did. After hours of programming and staring at Google Street View, he designed a free computer game that puts you behind the "wheel." Just choose between the blue or the red train and you're ready to cruise past several of the Seattle landmarks you'll see from the real train's window. An adorable interactive game that recalls the days of 8-bit Nintendo, you can travel with the train's doors closed or wrecklessly open and even honk the horn. The Mill Creek native plans to continue developing the game, adding more features and expanding his virtual monorail to new routes that go beyond its downtown track. What could possibly be a more fitting 21st century tribute to the 1962 Seattle World's Fair? Jump on board at mckaulay.com. (Hat tip, Seattle Weekly and Daily Herald.) -Katie Joy Blanksma
2. Learn Fun Facts about the Monorail
If you have ever wondered how many adult male elephants the monorail could support, this beautifully designed video has the answer, along with several other pieces of fun Monorail trivia:
3. Read "Why the Monorail is Still the Best Ride in Town"
As part of our March issue transportation cover story, Feliks Banel reflects on the history of the monorail and why it's stuck around for so long in this nostalgic essay.
4. Go for a Joy Ride
The folks over at the Monorail have a big plans for the Monorail's 50th birthday on Saturday, March 23, including free rides granted to anyone who saved their ticket for a ride between 1962 and 2010. Full schedule after the jump:

Southern Pest ControlRead MoreServing more than 30,000 clients across Virginia and Maryland annually, Southern Pest Control was ranked as the 25th largest company of its kind in the Southeast by Pest Control Technology magazine. From bugs such as ants and roaches to rodents such as rats and gremlins, the pest-removal crews arrive on the hour to avoid customers waiting all day for their appointments. The treatments can rid homes of termites or protect pets from fleas, ticks, and fire ants dwelling in backyards. Southern Pest Control's Service When You Need It contracts cut down on unnecessary chemical application and expenses by performing annual inspections and treating problems only when infestations occur. To further its commitment toward cutting down on waste, Southern Pest Control works to reduce its paper consumption by 90% through a paperless customer-contact system.8506 Wellington Rd., Suite 102Manassas, VA US

Capitol PestRead MoreSince 1936, the exterminators at Capitol Pest have proven their expertise to customers time and time again. But partial credit for their success must go to Dr. Russell Travers, the on-staff entomologist (insect expert) who chimes in when particularly tricky pest infestations threaten homes. Many pests are easy enough to treat without his help, though, such as common ants, ticks, stinkbugs, and termites. Some treatments, such as termite baiting use eco-friendly techniques—in this case, a lethal but EPA-approved termite bait set in soil around the home and inside its structure that spreads quickly throughout the entire colony. Bed bugs, on the other hand, quickly succumb to an insecticide that reaches inside every mattress and piece of furniture, making it impossible for the blood suckers to get a good night's sleep. A similar fate awaits rats and mice when the exterminators employ their anti-rodent program, setting traps and baits where rodents are active within the home and providing a thorough inspection for rodent entry points. After an estimate is provided, the staff is capable of sealing any necessary areas, be it, screening a vent, installing door sweeps, or replacing bricks, wood trim, or using concrete.5455 Butler RdBethesda, MD US

I really liked this film. It was very gritty, very R-rated. The cast all did great jobs. I do hope it does well box office wise in the long run. It deserves too.
My only issue was when Wood Harris's character captures Anderson with her own gun. I couldn't see it, but was he holding her finger to the trigger? If not, there was no way he could've shot her. I was also wondering if maybe she allowed herself to be captured so that she could get on the inside.
If he'd tried to use the gun he'd have blown himself to pieces...which means he'd have blown Anderson to pieces as well!
Shame this isn't doing better. Shame that 18 cert films keep failing somewhat, it just increases the pressure on studios to keep churning out 12A sanitised things like The Hunger Games.
That said, the thing to remember about Dredd is that it wasn't expensive to make, so factoring in rest of the world and DVD sales it might do enough to justify a sequel...I hope so, in fact I really ought to try and see it again, I did enjoy it and I will be getting the DVD.

My advice is to just do it. The worst that can happen in reality is they take the stuff off you. My wife brought back from PF some PPD that they wouldn't ship out of the US of A. She was on holiday with a friend and they shipped it to her daughter's place in NJ.
Not a thing was said at customs. It was clearly labelled if they had stopped to do a random search.
Having said all that you can get basics in NZ just like here (Oz). It's not as good as the old days but then, where is for photo supplies?
Hey! How about some caffenol? Instant coffe, pool pH raiser (NaCO3) and ascorbic acid or Na ascorbate?
Be prepared to explain. That's it.

Urk used to be an island, until the former Zuiderzee became the lake IJsselmeer. It's best known as a fishing village. At the harbor there is always loads of activity going on. You enjoy the action from a distance on one of the many terraces. The same harbor also offers all kinds of water sports opportunities.
Highlights of Urk
Urk's history goes back over one thousand years. Visit the old village and you can still feel the history it holds. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings by walking through the old village or from the water by boat. It's highly recommended to eat some fresh fish in the harbor. You can also enjoy excellent fish dishes at one of the local restaurants. The nearby eel farm and a trip over the lake with the tourist line to Enkhuizen are also highly recommended.
Visit Urk
Urk is a small village with a great history, ideal for lovely walks. Charming shops, museums, beach, harbor and pool are within walking distance. Do note that the tourist line between Enkhuizen and Urk only sails in summertime. Most inhabitants of Urk consider Sunday a day of rest, so it's best to visit Urk on weekdays or on a Saturday.

What should I be focusing on when doing a situp?
Are there ways to reduce strain on muscle groups that should not be getting strained?
What should I be focusing on when doing a situp?
The primary thing you should focus on is contracting (tightening) your abdominals as you bring your chest to your knees.
I never do the traditional sit-up anymore because it puts so much strain on other areas, and there are safer and more effective exercises to focus on. That said, here are some ways you can reduce the strain on your body during a sit-up:

The car starts idles up to 3000rpm then goes down 2500rpm in park. Goes normal when in gear but the car goes without pushing the pedal up 25 mph. Happened after putting a new distributor. Could it be a sensor?

September 26, 2011.
It sounds like the timing may be too far advanced. Have you double checked that? As far as sensors, the idle air control valve controls the idle, but since it wasn't a problem prior to the distributor, that is where I would check.
You need a timing light and turn the distributor to set it.
That thing don't turn, I'll have to loOk again. It didn't turn when I tried. Looks like it wasn't meant to turn at all.
It will be bolted at the base of it to keep it stationary.
It's self timed with the crank sensor would that be the problem or the air control valve. Yeah the car jus goes man up to 45 mph on flat land.

How many lesbians does it take...
...to retrieve an earring from the drain in a bathroom sink?
On Tuesday morning while donning my corporate drag, as I whipped out a necklace from my jewelry box it caught on one of the fancy pearl and diamond earrings my dad had given me for Christmas. The earring was eager to explore the putrid depths of the drain, gone almost instantly with a self-satisfied and sadistic *clink* as it settled gleefully into its new home.
By Thursday, finally disgusted by having to brush my teeth in the kitchen, it was time to take action. And by action I mean catalyzing a series of events nearly boundless in scope and monumental in stupidity. As a typical lesbian (femme though I may be) I imprudently decided that my queer badge qualified me to take apart the pipe underneath the sink. Now, everyone knows that lesbians are celebrated for their prowess with tools and plumbing, and any other activity that might cause butt crack to show when they bend over. A simple act of plumbing merely to retrieve something certainly could not be cause for distress.
Like any well-equipped dyke, I opened up my vast toolbox and got out the largest pair of adjustable pliers I owned and headed to the bathroom.
I must digress here to convey to you that my bathroom is roughly the size of a breadbox. With the bread in it. By the time I had removed most of the assorted bottles and boxes from the cupboard under the sink, there was very little room left to maneuver. I was surrounded on all sides with the contents of the cupboard and faced into it with a determined lesbian gaze.
As I delicately twisted the pipe's attachment to the bottom of the sink, a waft of sulfurous air crept from the cupboard like a portent of certain doom. However, the pipe seemed to be unscrewing easily enough, so I continued more confidently. Slowly the entire plastic pipe began to twist to the left, and the smell increased to a tangible density. Then, with a massive jolt, the pipe broke free – not from the sink where I had been unscrewing, but from the wall.
I screamed like a young boy being ineptly castrated with a chopstick as a mammoth amount of filthy pipe spew drenched the entire right side of my body. The smell can only be quantified as akin to what a half-gutted hobo crack whore might vomit up after eating a carton of rotten eggs. The texture was like the worst diarrhea you have ever experienced - complete with gray chunks like undigested corn. Stomach and lungs heaving, I struggled to regain control of my gag reflex and my left kidney, which felt as if it were trying to forcibly escape through my anus.
Always one to do the logical thing, I screamed again, tore off my shirt and did a maniacal dance that no doubt appeared more like an epileptic fit due to the aforementioned bread box proportions of the room. The bowl I had set out to collect water contained roughly 1/1000 of the pipe spew it was intended to catch, with the rest being splattered over a generous portion of my bathroom like satanic confetti. I immediately called my friend Biker Dyke in order to find out what to do next.
On the phone in between fits of laughter punctuated by gagging on my end, I continued to remove the pipe, making the foolhardy assumption that it was now devoid of any remaining spew. Biker Dyke had assured me earlier that this would be a simple process, and was now struggling to hold back laughter long enough to make sense of my description of what had happened. As the pipe came completely free from the sink, another gush of spew was released into my waiting lap. I screamed and the cell phone fell the short distance to the floor, extricating its battery in the process.
Unable to reach Biker Dyke after reconnecting my phone and retrieving my earring, I called Italian Dyke. "You called the wrong lesbian," she said, after deciphering that my fits of hysteria had something to do with plumbing. Luckily, she called back a few minutes later saying that her friend Fix-it Dyke would be willing to come over with her and look at it since they were on their way home from work. I did a brief dance of glee and then another one of panic as I realized that I had just invited people into an apartment that now smelled like a sewage treatment facility.
By the time they had arrived, I was clothed and had wiped up most of the original spew. Fix-it Dyke immediately went to work with great determination and admirable confidence. Her first effort was rewarded with a mad eruption of water from the confluences of the pipe upon first testing. Not to be deterred, she pulled the pipe off and dumped the water in the sink. Of course when you dump water in the sink after removing the drain pipe… wet lap. And not of the same variety that we lesbians prefer when it comes to wet laps. Italian Dyke and I stared on stupidly as this happened, merely standing there like asshats while Fix-it Dyke shrugged and resumed wrestling with the pipe, my floor now resembling a breadbox-sized version of Lake Travis. Finally, the pipe deigned to cooperate, grudgingly resuming its former position as carrier of foul spew. There were many cries of jubilation and happiness, and I believe I now owe Fix-it Dyke baked goods, or more likely, sex.
So how many lesbians does it take to perform a simple act of plumbing?
It takes four, my friends. It takes four.
this is in or around my bathroom

Teen Mom's Maci Bookout: 'I'm Single -- and It's Awesome!'
Maci Bookout dated both Kyle King and Kyle Regal in 2012, but if the former "Teen Mom" star has her way, she'll enter 2013 single and ready to mingle.
"I've been single for four or five months -- happily. It's awesome," the Tennessee-based college student revealed backstage at MTV's "Restore the Shore" benefit event Nov. 15.
PHOTOS: Teen Mom cast - where are they now?
The best part of going it alone? "[I love] not having to be anyone's mom but Bentley's," she says, referring to her four-year-old son with ex Ryan Edwards. "These guys [I've met and dated] are cool, and then three months into it, I'm like, 'You are a child and I'm your mother. You're grounded. Leave me alone.' The only mom I want to be is Bentley's mom."
Coparenting and sharing custody of her son with Edwards, Bookout, 21, tells Us Weekly there are a handful of holiday traditions she's anxious to carry out to make Bentley's Christmas season special.

"We do the Elf on the Shelf," Bookout explains, referring to the interactive holiday tradition that involves families putting an elf character in their home to act as a scout for Santa in the weeks leading up to Christmas, keeping a watchful eye on which children have been naughty and nice. "We've done it for two years now and when he was two he didn't really know, but this year he's really [into it]. "I'm like, 'that elf is watching you' and he's right in line."

Bookout reports that her son has been quite a good boy this year, winning raves from his teachers at preschool. "He gets gold stars every day. I'm so proud of him," Bookout boasts. "They always write comments on why they get gold stars and normally it's because he'll clean up without being asked or follows all the rules. Besides that, for the past months all he's been doing is riding his bicycle or dirt bike. I can't get him off of it. I'm like, 'can't we say your ABCs or something?'"

For she is a golden rose
A fire bubble in the sky
Like honey that melts with each spark
She fills
My abundant life
Monitored by a bell
& marked by the rise and fall of the sun
Love stems from a time
Surprise grows into my day
If I could hold her
I would
She blooms when there is darkness
& grows where there is light
Caress her roots
Intimate whispers
Thorough peaceful rest
Desperate to maintain her beauty
I thank God for the cycle of life
& for her by my side
By Maria Grujicic
I had a busy week and there were times in my day where I paused and meditated, hoped that the rotation of a day would save me from how drained of energy I felt. And it worked. :) Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Blinded By The I
I was alone with the sun
And it shone on me
The colors of its rays
Set me free
But I didn't die
And I was made to be free

Blinded the free
Hope cut
Blood vessels free
Blood roamed
And I was left all alone

How To Find A Shooting Star
stars that govern the night
span the sky with abundant light
some are bright, some dimmer
the brightest are not always bigger
secrets they hold provoke wonder and hope
could they ever agree?
the dimmer not always further from me
among the illusion and confusion
keep your eye on that one star
follow it through the maze
keep your interest
nurture it
and focus your gaze
study it and before you realize
time will pass enough
to eventuate a sweet surprise
a faint, quick, sharp
tear in the sky
keep it in your thoughts
and make it yours
by Maria Grujicic, artist name Malena
Today my husband and I went to see the planes at the nearby runway. It is a favorite pass time for him, and I adore sunsets. And upon our venture I noticed something very special, and I filmed it.
As a girl, growing up in Darwin I loved to cloud watch and make out the shapes in the sky. I used my imagination to make out what the figures might be and observed how they changed.
I am experimenting with the technology I have at hand. You tube is great and I'm learning all I can. At the moment I can't add audio to my film, but I can add music as provided by Youtube. This is a beautiful piece, and I added my audio separately as an MP3 file. The poem is longer than the footage. Please press play on the audio first and then the film and they should then finish together. How timely!
My dearest Vladi, I dedicate this poem to you.
Thank you for listening!

The Canton Maddog rugby team traveled to Chicago Illinois on May 16th to compete in the Midwest DIV Final Four. Canton lost their first match 60-5 against the East Side Banshees. Aaron Traugh scored the only try for Canton. The consolation match was called due to weather.
Head Coach Dan Sturtz said "Today was a tough match against a very good rugby team. I am extremely proud of what our rugby team has done for the past year, especially finishing in the top 4 in the Midwest division IV. Today the men kept playing together as a team regardless of the score, all the way down to the final minute. Making it as far as we did, this is something that all of the players and us coaches can be proud of. A lot of work has gone into our accomplishments, and I would personally like to thank each and every member of this club that has contributed to our success. This is just the beginning of what will be many more years of success for Canton Rugby."
May 13th
The Stark County Maddogs traveled to Coventry for their last game of the Rugby Ohio DII 2015 Spring season. They battled hard for a full 60 minutes but came up short on the scoreboard, losing by a score of 24-38. Scoring try's for Stark County were Courtlin Nix (McKinley), Josh Archinal (Dover), and Ty Walters (Jackson). Cole Bellinger (Hoover) was able to convert 2 of the 4 conversion kicks. The Maddogs finished their season with a 2-4-1 record.
Head Coach Dan Sturtz said "These young men completed another successful year competing in the NE Ohio Rugby League. All the coaches are very proud of the effort and time every player put in this season during training and all the matches. Although we had expectations this season to reach the playoffs, there is no reason to hang our heads today or for the season. We came out week to week and kept playing rugby as well as improving our team and individual skills. Again, I am very proud of all the players and the parents that have supported the Maddogs all year! To all the seniors, it's been a pleasure having you on the high school club and wish you the best in all your future plans after graduation. Special thanks to Cole Bellinger and Winter Andrews for captaining the squad this year, you both served your teammates well. To all the underclassmen, we are not done, it will take all of you to carry on the tradition of the Stark County High School Rugby team. Keep your heads up, and keep playing this wonderful sport of rugby!"

The Canton Maddogs hosted the Detroit Tradesmen in the Midwest DIV playoff seeding match this past Saturday. Canton held tough for most of the match, but came up short on a victory, losing by a score of 27-19. Scoring try's for the Maddogs were Scott Hills, Ian Kell, and Tim Donnelly. John McMullen was successful on 2 conversion kicks.
Head Coach Dan Sturtz said "We played stout defense for most of the game, we just had a few lapses and Detroit was able to capitalize and build a lead that we could not overcome. We played til the final whistle, and gave our best effort for the full 80 minutes. It was not a victory for us, but we can keep building on our success's and take momentum into the Final Four next weekend in Chicago."
Captain Kris Carroll said "We did not play our best rugby today. We showed that we could move the ball and score points at times, we showed that we can play rugby with any team in this division. We made our tackles, we supported, we moved the ball, we just let let our defensive guard down a few more times than Detroit did. We have 2 weeks to practice and get better, and be ready to play on May 16th in Chicago."
Canton travels to the Chicago Blaze Rugby facilities in Lemont Illinois on May 16th for a 10:00am semifinal matchup. If they win that first match, they will play in the DIV finals at 5:00pm, with the consolation match kicking off at 4:00.

The Canton Maddog Rugby team slotted themselves in to the Midwest DIV Final Four playoffs in Chicago on May 16th with a victory this past Saturday over the visiting Battle Creek Griffons. This victory made history for the Maddogs, with their first ever Final four appearance in the club 39 years of existence. Canton will host Detroit this coming Saturday at 1:00pm at Weis Park for seeding purposes for the matches on the 16th.
The match with the Griffons started off very physical, and the intensity picked up for each of the 80 minutes of match play. Battle Creek was able to break Canton's defense within the first 10 minutes of the game to take a 5-0 lead. Canton fired back with a lot of ball possession of their own, and were able to squeak out a 3 point penalty kick by Gabe Mullane before halftime, putting the score at the half at 5-3.
The second half started out much like the first ended, with Canton retaining the ball and securing 2 more penalties within kicking range. Mullane was unable to convert either one of those though, leaving the Maddogs behind the Griffons going into the last quarter of the match. Things finally broke free for Canton, and Chris Wright was able to cross the try line and secure a 5 pointer. The conversion attempt failed, but Canton was now up 8-5. It didn't take long for Canton to march right back down the field to get back in scoring position, with solid kicking to touch and field position all game by John McMullen. The Maddogs capitalized on that field position with Eugene Naude touching down for another 5 points. The conversion attempt failed, leaving the score 13-5 in Canton's favor.
After some handling errors for Canton, Battle Creek found themselves with possession deep in their opponents territory, and were able to touch down their second try of the day. The conversion kick failed, and the score was 13-10. Canton mustered up all the energy they had left to play stout defense to the final whistle to secure the victory and their goal of making the trip to Chicago.
Co-captain Chad Menegay said "We made tackles all across the pitch, even a few try-saving ones. We had some smart kicks for territory as well. We fought through adversity today and look forward to battling it out in Chicago for a Midwest DIV title."
Head Coach Dan Sturtz said "We were trailing at halftime, but I told the guys to keep playing together and applying pressure. Battle Creek was a very determined team, and they took advantage of our mistakes when they could. But the second half, the Maddogs came out and executed our game plan, maintained possession of the ball, and capitalized when we were in scoring range. This is the first time this club has made it this far into the playoffs. I am proud of the team, but looking forward to going even further on this post season run."
"A determined team playing with heart can do incredible things" Canton's other Co-captain Kris Carroll stated after the game. "My hat is off to all of my teammates that have been working hard for the last year together to help propel us to this victory today. Everyone left everything out on that field today."
Canton will host Detroit this Saturday in the seeding match, then have a week off before traveling to Chicago's South side for the Final Four.

The Canton Rugby Foundation is pleased to announce the schedule for the 5th annual free, non-contact rugby skills clinic. Our clinic will be hosted at Hall of Fame Fitness center's indoor field on Sunday February 15th and March 1st, from 2-4pm. We encourage all boys and girls in the Stark County area from ages 12 and up to attend this clinic to learn more about the sport of rugby. We will put them through fun, fast paced drills and games, and stress the importance of teamwork in rugby.
Canton Rugby Foundation President and Stark County High School Rugby head coach Dan Sturtz is quoted saying "This is our 5th year doing this for the youth of Stark County. We get new kids every year, and plenty more coming back after the fun they had the previous year. We have sign up sheets for our Middle School teams, and our High School team as well. We have been successful in building our teams by getting the kids started with our free clinic."
Rugby has grown immensely in the US in the past few years. Carlin Isles, a product of Stark County, is a member of the USA Eagles 7's National team, which competes internationally in the World Rugby 7's league. Rugby 7's will be an Olympic sport in Rio in 2016. The USA Eagles 15's team will compete in the Rugby World Cup Tournament this year, and hosted a monumental game in October 2014 where they were defeated by the #1 team in the world, the New Zealand All Blacks by a score of 74-6.
Sturtz said "Rugby has so much popularity now. The Seahawks trained with rugby players to improve their tackling skills. Nate Ebner, a former rugby player who walked on to Ohio State's football team, just won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. And with the success and promotion of both USA national teams, rugby is just going to keep growing. It has been said that rugby is the fastest growing sport in America."
"The Canton Rugby Foundation is part of that growth too. We started this free clinic 5 years ago, with less than 20 kids. Last year, we had around 80. This year, we are expecting over 100. And we welcome the growth. Our club now has 7 coaches who have been certified by USA Rugby. Plus we have veterans from the Canton Maddogs who help in running the games and drills. The kids that run through this clinic have lots of fun, and they come out better rugby players. Who knows, we may be training the next Isles or Ebner in our upcoming clinic."

Head Coach Dan Strutz said "Another good team effort with 7 different players scoring today. Although this was not our best performance, the guys pulled out another win. We must learn from our mistakes and finish this season out exactly how we started, moving forward with constant pressure on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. We have two more league games left, it's time for the Canton Maddogs to finish their 2014 season strong and cap off another great year of rugby."
Canton travels to Columbus to take on the Coyotes this coming Saturday, kickoff is slated for 1:00pm.

Head Coach Dan Sturtz said "Our weeks of training and conditioning paid off for us today as we put pressure on both sides of the ball the entire match. It was a great way to start off league competition. The Maddogs played as a team today and had constant support for one another the entire 80 minutes. Now it's time to use this momentum to move forward each week on our way to the DIV league title."
Captain Kris Karroll stated "These guys played their hearts out today and we came out with a great win against a good team. Now we focus on keeping this attitude and momentum going forward as we travel to WV next week."
Canton travels to North Central West Virginia RFC this coming Saturday for their second league match of the fall season. Kickoff is slated for 1:00pm in Fairmont WV.

No Reason to Wait
It will be months until Mazuz decides whether to indict Avigdor Lieberman; in the meantime it is not appropriate for the foreign affairs portfolio and the Israeli diplomatic corps to remain in his hands.
The police's National Fraud Squad completed its investigation of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Sunday with a recommendation to try him on a long list of serious charges: bribery, money laundering, aggravated fraud, obstruction of justice and tampering with a witness. To turn the recommendation into an indictment requires a decision by the state prosecutor, the attorney general's approval and a hearing for Lieberman, if he wishes. It is not at all clear if he wants a hearing - which though it may give the potential defendant the chance to convince the attorney general to close the case, also reveals the defense's plans to the prosecution.
In recent years, the heads of the police investigations and intelligence branches have shown caution in cases involving public figures, a noteworthy trend. Investigators are very cautious in their recommendations and rarely stick their necks out. The evidence accumulated usually matches the opinion of the state prosecutor and attorney general.
Every case is different, but the minute Lieberman shifted from being a suspect under investigation to someone with a serious indictment hanging over his head, it became unreasonable for him to continue serving as Israel's foreign minister, or as one of the six ministers who make decisions on foreign and security issues.
Lieberman announced yesterday that he would resign as foreign minister (as required) and then from the Knesset and the leadership of his party Yisrael Beiteinu (which is not required) if Attorney General Menachem Mazuz decided to indict him. But it will be months until he makes a decision; in the meantime it is not appropriate for the foreign affairs portfolio and the Israeli diplomatic corps to remain in his hands.
Foreign statesmen and ministers, as well as others who meet with Lieberman, will act under the assumption that his days in the Foreign Ministry are numbered and his political influence is waning, while all media reports on his diplomatic contacts will mention the police's recommendation.
It will be almost as embarrassing for the representative of Yisrael Beiteinu Lieberman appoints to watch over the Foreign Ministry on his behalf.
His replacement will have no independent diplomatic or political status. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must consider rearranging his cabinet or holding on to the foreign affairs portfolio himself.
Israel, which is on the defensive on the world stage and faces the possibility of renewed peace negotiations with the Palestinians, needs a foreign minister with international stature and political backing, not a potential defendant.

What Dr. King Tells Blacks and Whites Today
Norment, Lynn, Ebony
RIOTS.Racism. Poverty, Unemployment. Homelessness. Inequality.
These are just some of the social malignancies that plagued Black American life from slavery on through the 1950's and 1960's the very issues that Dr, Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to correcting and erasing.
Today, on the 64th anniversary of his birth, these social ills continue to afflict Black America, and, consequently, the teaching, preaching and message of Dr. King are just as fresh and relevant as ever. One might wonder what the Nobel laureate would say to us today, to both Black and Whites, about ongoing social problems. Those who knew the man and his dream, and those who are students of his teachings and leadership, have no doubt he would offer sage advice.
Over 200,000 people were present when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, made his Famous March on Washington speech in 1963. Yet his powerful words echoed to millions more around the globe. He described a hopeful vision that "my four little children will one clay live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" To him, it was a dream that people of every color, creed and country could believe in. He gave his life trying to make it come true.
We salute DE King's work, the hopes that he held, and the things that he stood for. Because at American Ah-lines, we believe that everyone who has a dream deserves a chance to fulfill it. march to the realization of the American dream. Let us march on segregated housing until every ghetto of social and economic oppression is dissolved and Negroes and Whites live side by side in decent, safe and sanitary housing.
"If Dr King were alive today," says Benjamin L. Hooks, CEO and executive director of the NAACP, "I am certain his message for Blacks and Whites would be the message he gave during his life: 'We must learn to live together as brothers [and sisters] or perish apart as fools."
Noting that joblessness, racism and riots were social problems prevalent during Dr. King's lifetime, Hooks emphasizes that Dr. King, a Southern preacher who earned a doctorate in theology, had a consistent message taken from the Scriptures: "Justice, justice shalt thou pursue."
"Dr. King knew there must be justice-economic justice and social justice," says Hooks. "He knew there had to be justice for the voiceless. Didn't he remind us that a riot is the cry of the unheard? Dr. King would never countenance riots, but he would at least understand the rage at the deplorable conditions that caused the riots.
"So today he would say let us provide jobs, improve housing conditions, and promote better communication with police and other law enforcement agencies," says Hooks. "Wanton law and or der must stop. Respect for all, whether rich or poor, Black or White, must bc the rule."
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., says that she was inspired to learn that Dr. King espoused her personal views on urban violence, especially in light of the riots that erupted after four Los Angeles police officers were aquitted of the videotaped beating of Rodney King. "Dr. King said that it's not enough to denounce the rioters, but we must denounce the conditions that led to the riots," says Waters. "That's what I've been trying to do, just what he said, that you shouldn't denonnce the looters, but the conditions that led to the looting. That message is particularly important to me in the aftermath of the [Los Angeles] rebellion and the way it was handled."
