Nest success is a critical determinant of the dynamics of avian populations, and nest survival modeling has played a key role in advancing avian ecology and management. Beginning with the development of daily nest survival models, and proceeding through subsequent extensions, the capacity for modeling the effects of hypothesized factors on nest survival has expanded greatly. We extend nest survival models further by introducing an approach to deal with incompletely observed, temporally varying covariates using a hierarchical model. Hierarchical modeling offers a way to separate process and observational components of demographic models to obtain estimates of the parameters of primary interest, and to evaluate structural effects of ecological and management interest. We built a hierarchical model for daily nest survival to analyze nest data from reintroduced whooping cranes (Grus americana) in the Eastern Migratory Population. This reintroduction effort has been beset by poor reproduction, apparently due primarily to nest abandonment by breeding birds. We used the model to assess support for the hypothesis that nest abandonment is caused by harassment from biting insects. We obtained indices of blood-feeding insect populations based on the spatially interpolated counts of insects captured in carbon dioxide traps. However, insect trapping was not conducted daily, and so we had incomplete information on a temporally variable covariate of interest. We therefore supplemented our nest survival model with a parallel model for estimating the values of the missing insect covariates. We used Bayesian model selection to identify the best predictors of daily nest survival. Our results suggest that the black fly Simulium annulus may be negatively affecting nest survival of reintroduced whooping cranes, with decreasing nest survival as abundance of S. annulus increases. The modeling framework we have developed will be applied in the future to a larger data set to evaluate the biting-insect hypothesis and other hypotheses for nesting failure in this reintroduced population; resulting inferences will support ongoing efforts to manage this population via an adaptive management approach. Wider application of our approach offers promise for modeling the effects of other temporally varying, but imperfectly observed covariates on nest survival, including the possibility of modeling temporally varying covariates collected from incubating adults.Geospatial Extents

Hi Brother!
Needless to say this shot immediately caught my eye:
-interesting color spectrum;
Critical notes:
-old man's right foot is not in
-on the right someone is in but probably should have been out
BTW, I thought you could have leave in the frame a bigger area where people we sitting, just to show compare the people's bodies and the gigantic furniture.
On the second photo it might have been better to include the building with it's roof as well as the wheel of attraction on the right
I hope you would not mind my pseudo-expert comments.
Stay well

Connellsville hopes to maintain momentum against Seneca Valley
TribLIVE Sports Videos
With a huge Quad East Conference victory under its belt, Connellsville will play its only nonconference game of the season when it visits Seneca Valley on Friday.
The Falcons will enter the game feeling good after defeating Hempfield, 14-10 in a critical game last week.
"We were behind the whole game, and we kept trying to make plays," Connellsville coach Dave McDonald said.
"It's like a child that makes mistakes, and then eventually they learn from those mistakes and start to mature. The things we have been working on started to come to fruition, and we finally made some plays to get over the top."
The win helps Connellsville remain a major part of the conversation when looking at potential playoff teams coming out of the Quad East.
"To be 0-3 in the conference would be tough to overcome," McDonald said. "We put ourselves in the hunt. It still depends on how we play on Friday nights, but it was a big win."
This week, the challenge will be for the Falcons (1-2) to build on that win over a strong Seneca Valley squad, ranked seventh in the latest Trib Total Media rankings.
"We're playing a very good opponent," McDonald said. "They will be the second-best team (next to Gateway) that we play, by far. I think top to bottom, Gateway is probably better, but Seneca Valley has a Division I quarterback (in Jordan Brown) and a Division I running back (in Forrest Barnes). They're probably not as fast as Gateway, but they may be more physical."
The Raiders (2-1) were beaten by North Allegheny, 45-3, last week, but McDonald noted that the score was not indicative of the game.
"We're playing a great team, and we're looking to see where we have improved from Week 1 to Week 4," McDonald said. "I think playing Gateway will help us against Seneca Valley. I think our kids will have a better understanding of what to expect."
McDonald is hoping that playing powerhouse teams such as Gateway and Seneca Valley in the first half of the season will get the Falcons ready for what should be an exciting second half.
"We feel that these first four weeks will prepare us for the last five weeks," McDonald said.
In last week's win against Hempfield, Connellsville's defense made a number of big plays, and the offense pieced together several long scoring drives. The first was an eight-play march that resulted in quarterback Jade Maher finding Darrell Ross for a 28-yard score. The second was a game-winning 12-play drive in the fourth quarter that ended with a Maher 45-yard pass to Jimmy DeMarco.
For the Falcons to win this week, long drives on offense and game-changing plays on defense again will be the order of the day.
"We have to play really good defense and have some long, sustained offensive drives," McDonald said. "They are an explosive offense, so we have to keep the ball away from them."

The 10 Most Successful Brands on Facebook
Being a social leader is about more than just racking up millions of page Likes. Many companies have procured huge audiences through savvy advertising and promotions, but fail to leverage all that attention by creating meaningful conversations with their Fans. Engagement – Likes, Comments and other forms of Fan interaction - is just as important as audience size. And then there is Buzz. Who is talking about your brand? Who are your evangelicals? The true measurement of success can't be boiled down to a single metric.
Track Social follows more than 10,000 brands across hundreds of metrics. Our near-real time Overall Facebook Performance Leaderboard generates a composite score for each brand using dozens of metrics, categorized by the Pillars of Social Media: Presence, Audience, Engagement & Buzz.
Here's a look at the top ten brands on Facebook and how they got there:
Whatever its stock price, Facebook is still the uncontested king of social networking sites. So it's no surprise that Facebook's presence on its own site outpaces everyone else. Sporting a huge audience (over 72 million Fans) and strong Buzz scores—how much users are talking about the brand in their own posts or re-posts—Facebook takes the top spot.
With a Facebook audience of over 38 million, the house that Walt built has spun its old-media cultural cred into social media gold. While the average number of Likes for brand-initiated Facebook posts is 571, Disney's nostalgic postings average a stunning 115,792 Likes.
YouTube scores big in two essential categories: Audience and Buzz. With over 62 million Fans, YouTube's footprint is second only to Facebook. What's more, YouTube uses Facebook to spotlight its most popular new videos, generating big Buzz numbers as users share and re-post their favorites.
While Coca-Cola's Engagement scores aren't as high as some other brands, that's partly because of its own success in building such an enormous Facebook following. (The larger your audience, the more Likes and Comments you need to keep your Engagement scores high.) Their 52 million Fans have a lot to say. Out of the more than 10,000 companies followed by Track Social, Coca-Cola has the 5th highest Buzz score.
With high marks in all four categories, MTV remains a cultural force to be reckoned with, especially online. With a steady stream of teen-pop posts, celeb gossip and programming promos, MTV's highly "sharable" posts help boost both its Engagement and Buzz scores.

I know you're just trying to draw people into your blog and make yourself more relevant, but I don't care, I'm writing a lengthy response. Don't be upset.
Let me see what I can take away from your post here. From the 'Pillars of Social Media' page I will break them down in response solely to this article:
1. Presence: This is a non-issue on this article. Solely because the way you've described it in the article, it is solely having a presence on specific networks. Well, in this article, you're only measuring analysis on one platform, Facebook; this metric is not relevant because if they didn't have a presence, you would not include them. Also, 'Completeness' is subjective - and also a non-issue for the "top accounts" you've described on this post. Finally, 'initiating interaction' is not 'Presence', that's engagement.
2. Audience: This is barely a metric. The only issue is if they have no audience. This is because you're measuring the amount of people who have followed, without consideration to why they follow - if they were incented to do so, or the like. This is not important right now.
3. Engagement: most important factor in your pillars.
4. Buzz, as someone who tracks social media professionally, I know this is extremely difficult, especially when you're segmenting this among only one platform; one platform which almost everybody has restrictions on their profile availability - and thus, you cannot access all of their post data. This is a half-assed metric if you're really measuring solely Facebook.
So essentially you should really be looking at Engagement and Audience (as a pre-defined number, such as "all pages in analysis need to be over x number of fans").
If you looked at that, and base it on the publicly available PTAT number, as compared to the total number of followers, you've find out that the "top pages" from the 70 most popular facebook pages (by total fan count) are:
1. Walmart (7.93% engagement, average PTAT of 1.613,466)
2. Disney (2.53% engagement, average PTAT of 1,021,255)
3. Coca-Cola (1.94% engagement, average PTAT of 987,286)
4. Target (4.07% engagement, average PTAT of 772,383)
5. Samsung Mobile (4.38% engagement, average PTAT of 520,595)
6. MTV (1.97% engagement, average PTAT of 728,909)
7. Burberry (2.15% engagement, average PTAT of 315,661)
8. Red Bull (1.71% engagement, average PTAT of 523,816)
9. Victoria's Secret (1.69% engagement, average PTAT of 331,528)
10. Converse (1.15% engagement, average PTAT of 390,938)
What about those ones you had listed?
1. Facebook (0.49% engagement, average PTAT of 352,670)
3. YouTube (0.54% engagement, average PTAT of 345,604)
9. Starbucks (1.12% engagement, average PTAT of 357,782)
10. Oreo (0.78% engagement, average PTAT of 221,223)
Of the top 10 Facebook Pages by fan count, you selected 9 of the top 10 in this list. Just because they have a large reach doesn't mean they are effective. -

The Greencastle Banner, Putnan Co., IN. Issue of Tuesday, Oct. 21, 1902 Austin Surratt |
of Rockville, Parke Co., IN. was killed under a train on the Big
Four track here early this morning after he had started home from
to this city. He worked for Charles Pfeffenberger here for several
months, summer before last and came over Sunday morning to visit
friends. He attempted to leave Sunday night on the Big Four's
westbound train but at two o'clock this morning his body, horribly
mangled, was found lying on the track opposite the point where the
steam shovel is located, a couple of hundred yards, west of the Big
Four Depot. It is presumed he fell from the train under the wheels.
The body was taken to Ledbetter and Dentman (?) undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. Coroner King notified Surratt's family at Terre Haute, who are said to be excellent people. The Next day: "From the Greencastle Banner" 22 Oct. 1902 The body of Austin Surratt was buried here Wednesday afternoon, instead of being taken to Terre Haute, which was his nominal home. The family have (sic) no dead interred in this part of the country and preferred that Austin's body remain here rather than move him. "His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. R.M. Surratt, his sisters, Mrs. D.V. Brittin, of Terre Haute, IN. Miss Leah Surratt, of Terre Haute, IN. Miss Valeska Surratt, of Terre Haute, IN. brother Judge, all of Terre Haute, IN. are here for the funeral.

Possible Record Problem! |
[Note: 1.]
I don't think the JAHRIES moved to California for several years
because Leah managed Valeska's "Hat Boutique"
in the Hotel Deming here in Terre Haute for the 1914-1915 timeframe.
[REF: Mike #2]
[Note: 2.] John M. Jahries died in Los Angeles on Sept. 21, 1953. Though I am presuming for the time being this is the same man who married Leah, the obit asserts that he leaves a widow, Zita Caughlin also formerly of Terre Haute. Zita (Caughlin) Jahries died on October 1961 but I have not yet examined her obituary. Mike McCormick (Occupation: Scenic Designer) [REF: Mike #2] and [REF: Mike #3] |

for atleast a year. I always wake up scared and sweaty, sometimes cold sweat, sometime hot. When i wake up i remember them and they always seem kinda fun though they never get me, but im somewhere where they are and its a bad situation....usually a giant building or house. Usually im also being chased by humans too at the same time. So the odds for me making it are low always. sneakin, running, hiding etc etc Dream analyzers please feel free to interpret
funny you mention that, i recently had a lucid dream of this nightmare and i got on a hanglider and swooped through a tunnel ninja kicking zombies in the face as i soared through.. but in most cases i havent been able to control it, and ive never actually been caught so fighting doesnt come into the dream
well i know that im getting the images in my head from the recent popularity of zombies, im sure if vampires were super popular and not zombies it would just be vampires instead.... but its symbolism. Apparently. The dreams as a whole.
48 Days Later Or was it 48 Weeks later Don't remember. And lol @ Ken Ryu was always better Sent from Tapatalk 2
Merican ones are pretty much crap, 28 days later was good, 28 weeks later was stupid as fuck, I have no idea how it got 7.0 on imdb. Død snø
you're watching too many zombie movies, even despite them not being aired on your tele. as for remembering dreams, if you can't do it in within the first five seconds, say goodbye to that dream.
That's what every asian says. But if you can't uppercut on a moment's notice Ryu is worthless. I was good at the Ken cheeses.
Sheeva and Johnny Cage, are in fact, the best characters in Mortal Kombat. (Followed by Scorpion, Sonya Blade, and Jax.)
i see, yeah i never played much vids as a kid. I only know raiden(is that his name?) the dude they jacked from Big trouble in little china. ;p

UBS orders internal probe as banker is named in affair, graft allegations against state firm chairman
Hong Kong-based employee accused of helping high-profile businessman launder money
Swiss bank UBS has ordered an internal investigation into allegations against a senior Hong Kong-based banker, just one day after a Chinese journalist and whistle-blower accused her of having an extramarital affair with the chairman of a state-owned conglomerate and helping him launder large amounts of money gained from allegedly corrupt deals.
The bank's legal and compliance department has looked into reports related to Helen Yang, also known as Yang Lijuan, an investment banker based in Hong Kong, two sources familiar with the matter told the South China Morning Post.
A UBS spokesman said yesterday that the bank would not comment on speculation. Yang could not be reached for comment.
Yang's responsibilities at the bank include liaising with the bank's corporate clients, including some Chinese state-owned enterprises, the sources told the Post.
Wang Wenzhi, a Chinese journalist who last year publicly accused Song Lin, the 51-year-old chairman of state-owned conglomerate China Resources, of corruption, renewed his allegations in an online post on Tuesday, alleging that Yang was a "mistress" of Song's, and had helped him launder illicit gains.
Wang is a senior reporter at the Economic Information Daily, a newspaper controlled by China's official Xinhua News Agency.
Song quickly hit back at the new allegations. In a statement posted on the official website of China Resources yesterday, Song said he was "extremely indignant" at the accusations in Wang's online letter.
"These allegations are pure fabrication and vicious defamation," the statement said.
Song also said he would take legal action against the "rumour-mongers and libellers".

very nice hotel in Lyon, with new rooms and access to really good restaurants. The hotel is located north of the Parc de la tete d'or, so it's better if you have a car or are ok with using a cab, but accessible with public transportation. read hotel review

As loyal Hilton guests, we chose this hotel for a weekend in Lyon. Located a mere 15-minute by bus from the heart of the city, Hilton Lyon was an excellent choice. We were upgraded to a junior suite as HHonors Diamond members, and the Executive lounge was also excellent. Well-done! read hotel review

The hotel is located outside of the city center beside the rhone river, but by several bus lines in front of the house well connected. The house is fairly new, nevertheless partly quite worn (dirty wallpaper, stained carpets, etc.). Room and bathroom were large and bright, everything was great.
Recommendation: even if it's more expensive, definitely book executive room, a lounge access to get. The lounge on the 10. floor with roof terrace is an absolute highlight with delicious snacks and outstanding wine and champagne included. read hotel review

Classic business-hotel, somewhat sterile, especially the executive lounge, but you can get a good view of the river and the park. The concierge is extremely helpful and willing to assist with reservations in one of the gourmet restaurants.
The service at the front desk leaves much to be desired, since apparently no priority on quick service, (only a service, although five to check in want). read hotel review

Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? This might be a crazy idea but I'm wondering if it's possible to kill bamboo roots with electricity. I have a bamboo bush that I pulled but the remaining roots will sprout new plants. Bamboo plants are hard to kill. Would I be able to kill the roots if I connect 120VAC to one of the roots and Neutral to a ground rod installed near the roots? I think what will happen is the current will travel throughout the root networks and fry them.
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? I am not sure of 120 V AC supply but a lighting stroke can fry it's roots for sure.
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? It would be an interesting experiment... 120V might not be enough to "push" the current through the roots and back into the rod. If you raise the voltage high enough it would eventually find it's way back to the rod, but it probably wouldn't destroy the entire root system... most of the current would likely flow through the roots with the most direct path to the rod. This is assuming, of course, that the current through the roots would destroy it in the first place... I would think it would, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll go home and shock one of my plants and find out
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? You're right, it is a crazy idea. It's one of those experiments that should be performed only as a "thought experiment". In practice, it is likely to be disappointing, providing you do survive it. But as a thought experiment, you can profess to achieve spectacular success in converting the bamboo to instant charcoal.
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? @ OP, you're likely referring to Japanese Knotweed, and it is exceedingly difficult to eradicate, since it propagates from rhizomes and spreads like crazy. You might need to hire a backhoe and be prepared to replace a lot of loam afterward. I can't imagine shocking the roots to death, though maybe it could be done. I am not advocating the use of Round-Up, but that's what a neighbor resorted to in order to eradicate a patch of that stuff. He cut all the stalks repeatedly for a few years to starve the roots, and the stuff still kept coming back. Knotweed is one tough customer!!
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? I am keeping mine at bay simply by diligently pulling them out as soon as they come up*. You should not cut the stalks if possible, better to pull them out by the roots. *same can't be said for my poor neighbour. I don't think he's figured out yet where his intrusion came from...
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? no it's not. I don't what my bamboo variety is called but it's dark green, really soft and hollow. The stem is less than .25" wide
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? Please do be careful... your idea sounds eerily similar to a story I once heard. In his case, his menace was moles and not bamboo. http://tothewire.wordpress.com/2009/01/31/darwin-awards/ """ Whac-A-Mole 2006 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin (10 January 2007, East Germany) A 63-year-old man's extraordinary effort to eradicate moles from his property resulted in a victory for the moles. The man pounded several metal rods into the ground and connected them–not to household current, which would have been bad enough–but to a high-voltage power line, intending to render the subterranean realm uninhabitable. Incidentally, the maneuver electrified the very ground on which he stood. He was found dead some time later, at his holiday property on the Baltic Sea. Police had to trip the main circuit breaker before venturing onto the property. The precise date of the sexagenarian's demise could not be ascertained, but the electric bill may provide a clue. """
Re: Killing bamboo plants with electricity?? hahaha ya gotta love the Darwin Awards, They make for some funny reading. The mind boggles at some of the stupid things done. @ Op I'm with Fourier Faux and the others. its not a good idea. I really urge you to find a safer way. cheers Dave

DES MOINES - Gov. Terry Branstad gathered Midwestern politicians and ethanol supporters in Des Moines on Thursday for a daylong hearing to criticize a proposal from the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce the amount of ethanol that must be blended with gasoline.
The EPA has proposed reducing by nearly 3 billion gallons the amount of biofuels required to be blended into gasoline in 2014. The EPA in November reported that the additive had become less necessary in light of fuel-efficient engines and lower fuel demand.
But political leaders in Iowa, the nation's top ethanol-producing state, say such a move would devastate Iowa's economy and cost thousands of jobs.
"Renewable fuels have created high-paying jobs and rewarding careers right here in the agricultural heartland of America," said Branstad, a Republican. "The EPA's proposal on the (Renewable Fuel Standard) could have devastating effects on this growth and on job creation."
The gathering is meant to highlight criticism of the proposed change to the Renewable Fuel Standard and put pressure on the EPA to reconsider.
"Federal policy should not undermine innovation and further advances in such an important sector," said Greg Ibach, director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, calling the proposed change the "wrong policy at the wrong time."
Iowa's Republican congressmen and industry representatives from several Midwestern states also were expected to speak at the event. Iowa is the nation's leading producer of ethanol, a fuel additive primarily made from corn that produces lower carbon emissions than gasoline.
Branstad said he asked the EPA to host a hearing in Iowa on this issue, but the agency declined. Thursday's event was supported by Iowa's entire congressional delegation, but Sen. Tom Harkin and U.S. Reps. Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack, the Democrats in the state's congressional delegation, could not attend due to scheduling reasons, according to Branstad's office. But a Democratic state lawmaker, state Sen. Jeff Danielson, of Cedar Falls, was scheduled to speak.
The Renewable Fuel Standard is part of 2007 legislation signed by President George W. Bush and updated under President Barack Obama that called for increasing annually the minimum amount of renewable fuels, including ethanol, in the nation's fuel supply. The EPA's November proposal marked the first time the government had called for rolling back that minimum requirement.

Lenovo's X200s has qualities we've come to expect from a ThinkPad—and that's a good thing. Its magnesium alloy chassis is wrapped in the line's signature matte black finish, making for a notebook that feels sturdy and looks serious. And at 11.2x8.25x1.25 inches and weighing less than three pounds, the X200s is also lightweight and compact. Yet not so compact that the keyboard suffers—it's full-size and quite comfortable for typing. A handy light positioned above the screen will illuminate the keyboard and there are dedicated buttons for controlling audio volume.
As with all ThinkPads, the X200s also features the TrackPoint navigation system, whereby you control the cursor using an isometric joystick in the middle of the keyboard, with the left- and right-click buttons in close proximity just below the spacebar. For the uninitiated, TrackPoint can be easily mastered and it's nice that you can perform navigation functions without moving your hands off the keyboard. But unlike larger ThinkPad models, the X200s doesn't feature a conventional touchpad as well, which will disappoint folks who like that option.
Another notable omission is the X200s's lack of an optical drive. These days, ultraportability needn't negate this amenity, as all the other notebooks in this roundup prove, so we're wondering why Lenovo couldn't fit one in. The X200s is also the only notebook here that doesn't sport a webcam.
The X200s has an upper hand in performance, however. Its 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile CPU is a low-voltage chip, which cuts heat and saves energy at the expense of some power, but it still helped the notebook turn in respectable benchmark scores and share top honors with HP's entry (which features the same CPU). Compared with our admittedly aged standard zero-point notebook, the X200s did better in both our Photoshop and ProShow tests, albeit by just 1.7 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. And while no one should buy a notebook this small for gaming, the X200s turned out an impressive 156fps in Quake 3—good news for fans of 10-year-old shooters.
The X200's productivity abilities are aided by a 1440x900-resolution screen—which offers slightly more real estate than the 1280x800 screens featured by the other rigs in this roundup—and a 160GB 7,200rpm hard drive, with a shock-detection mechanism that ensures the drive heads are parked in the event of movement. (Lenovo also offers SSD options: Intel's 80GB high-performance drive for $400 more, or a 128GB model for $450.) All the requisite ports are present, including three USB ports and an ExpressCard/54 slot. The notebook's 6-cell battery provided juice for a good four hours when playing continuous video—not the best time in this roundup, but respectable nonetheless.
The upshot is that the X200s is portable, sturdy, and up to the task of your average workload. It's also $500 less than its competitors. While we could certainly take that money and buy Lenovo's docking station with an optical drive for around $340, or buy an external DVD burner for even less, we prefer to have the whole kit-and-kaboodle in one complete package.
Great value ($500 less than competitors); sturdy build.
Lacks optical drive, touchpad, and webcam.

So for two years my friend Mark has been building a catapult in his basement. Yesterday he realized it's too big to get it out.
You need to give me a reason immediately why he is your friend.

He's your friend because he BUILT a CATAPULT.
EPIC FAIL!!!! but the fact that he could even build it is amazing/hilarious.. I'b be friends with him too!
Yeah, seriously, I'm glad people understand why this dude is actually sweet.
HAHAHA FAIL XD That's kinda awesome that he's building a catapult though
Kinda like how Gibbs from NCIS is always building a boat in his basement. How the hell does he really expect to get it out?!? Tell you friend A for effort, D- for planning. P.S. You can always break it down into parts, bring it outside piece by piece and reassemble it.... I'm just saying for every problem there does lie a solution.... Which may take hours and hours of work.
Agree with most of the above. HE'S BUILDING A F***ING CATAPULT!!! What more do you need?
TFLN of the day, hands down.
so funny
well...it's a catapult, so hurling rocks at the basement walls until you can dig your way out!
Why wouldn't you be friends with that guy!?
What high school? I live in 703
Sounds like someone's preparing for the zombie apocalypse,
This is epic. FIRST
^^ fail nova is right by washington dc
That question just answered itself! He built a damn catapult, everyone likes a friend with skills
that's really sad ;~;
This guy lives in my area! We need to locate someone with skills like these...They could be a very useful friend indeed! And seriously, with DC, even though there are some real southern places less than 100 miles away, DC/Northern VA is as close from southern as you can get. How else could a democrat get elected in VA?
3:21 and 3:22 Hell. Yes.
Reason for friendship: He's building a catapult. Everyone needs a friend like that.
Somebody from northern VA would do this. XD
Seriously, Catapult Mark is officially the coolest guy ever.
nova=the shit broad run high niggggggggga:)
nova is NOT the south idiot
i didn't need to look up the area code to know this person is from the south.

Video 2 - appDelegate is nil |
22 Jan 2011, 14:36
Peter Morris (1 post) |
I'm trying to follow this video but when I put a breakline on the code to call appDelegate.recipeClicked nothing happens. I have checked in the debugger and it would appear that appDelegate is nil. // // RecipesViewController.h // Recipes // // Created by Peter Morris on 22/01/2011. // Copyright 2011 MyCompanyName. All rights reserved. // import <UIKit/UIKit.h>@class RecipesAppDelegate; @interface RecipesViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate> { IBOutlet RecipesAppDelegate *appDelegate; } @end In MainWindow within IB I have linked the RecipesView.appDelegate to FilesOwner (UIApplication) so it should be linked up and yet it isn't. As far as I can see I followed the instructions correctly. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10266526/WritingIPhoneApp.zip Any help appreciated, especially seeing as I only have weekends to work on stuff like this :-) Thanks |
