Ford Mustang still delivers plenty of muscle
Share It.
Considering all the changes that Ford made to the 2013 Mustang, one wonders what the Detroit automaker might be saving for next year.
Why is next year so important? It just happens to be the 50th anniversary of the esteemed Mustang, one of America's standard bearers in the "muscle car" category.
Not only did changes come this year, Ford has made modifications to the Mustang in three of the last four years. And you can bet next year will make four out of five!
The 2013 Mustang takes on a new exterior look and has interior changes as well.
Among the exterior changes are:
- Standard xenon headlights with LED accents
- Shelby-inspired grille
- Restyled front and rear fascias
- Updated taillights
The interior changes are not as numerous. The main alterations are a new performance information display
and making Recaro seats available in all models.
The biggest change this year in the five Mustang trim models is the Shelby GT500 versions, which has been re-engineered. The GT500 is more of a beast than ever, featuring a 5.0-liter, V8 that generates 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. Unfortunately for me, this was not the test model.
Speaking of performance, Mustang made a conscious decision in 2010 to address the issue. After very few changes over a five-year period, for a muscle car, the Mustang was simply lacking real muscle.
That's no longer an issue.
This year the base and premium model (tested here) are a 3.7-liter, V6 that has 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The GT models are a step up in performance and the Boss 302 is nearly off the charts, a 5.0-liter, V8 with 44 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Note that the Boss 302 is also quite a jump in price as well - $42,200.
The Mustang has made improvements, but the knock against the interior remains space issues and too much hard plastic. Although most drivers will appreciate the abundant leg and head room in the front cabin, any adult relegated to the backseat will not be a happy camper. Entry and exit are difficult as well. The cargo space (decent 12.3 cubic feet) is good for a coupe.
The Mustang GT provides solid road handling and a firm ride with little road absorption. This rear-wheel drive coupe grips the road with tremendous accuracy and brakes with assurance. The Mustang has an improved suspension and the general opinion is it drives with more agility than either the Challenger or Camaro.
With the performance problem addressed, the Mustang can again effectively take on two of its primary challengers - the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. There's also a new challenger, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
Judged in all categories, the Mustang stacks up quite well with all three.
2013 Ford Mustang Coup
- Performance: 3.5-liter, V6, 305 horsepower; 5.0-liter, V8, 420 or 444 horsepower

- Warranty: 3 years/36,000 miles; drivetrain 5 years/60,000 miles; corrosion 5 years/unlimited; roadside assistance 5 years/60,000

Donkey in the house!
First of al you should plant a carrot plant right on top of your roof and stay away from it for about a day or 2. Go back to your home and usually you will find that there is a donkey around because they like carrots. Get some dirt, sand, stone, ect and trap the donkey and yourself in a little house(it doesn't have to be to big but make sure there is enough room for you and the donkey). After you have done that dig a hole at the bottom of your cosy house and the donkey will fall in and so will you. Then your donkey will be inside your house and its a good idea to get two so that they can have babies and there will be more fur and leather for you. I hope that has helped you!

Executive profile: Brad Oltmans of AAA Arizona
Send this to a friend
- Danielle Verbrigghe
- Contributing writer- Phoenix Business Journal
Brad Oltmans has come a long way from his first job pulling tassels off of corn in Nebraska. As the vice president of insurance for AAA Arizona, he now oversees a staff of 81 out of AAA Arizona's 480 employees and is responsible for $115 million in premium gross revenue and about $17 million in net revenue.
Sitting in his fifth floor office with a large window overlooking the Phoenix skyline, Oltmans recalls working for minimum wage as a 12-year-old, pulling tassels off ears of corn to prevent wind gusts from fertilizing the plants with the wrong seeds.
"It makes you appreciate what you've got," he said.
After earning two bachelor's degrees, a brief stint as a teacher and working in other parts of the insurance industry, Oltmans joined AAA in December 2008. Since joining the company, he has worked to grow insurance lines both organically and through acquisitions. In March, AAA acquired SunState Insurance agency, gaining about 2,800 policies and $4 million in premium.
But there have been challenges growing a business through the recession, he said. The industry is not growing as fast as it was several years ago, he added.
"The challenge we have right now is that dollars are finite," Oltmans said. "When you look at what other carriers are doing, like for example Geico, they spent $900 million dollars last year in the United States. It's really hard for us to spend the same, so we have to add value in different ways. Our biggest way is figuring out marketing analytics."
Oltmans is analyzing data from AAA Arizona's 450,000 members to adapt a more targeted marketing strategy.

PJ Hairston suffers scary concussion, leaves UNC's win over BC
Jan 30, 2013, 9:26 AM EST
The news coming out of Conte Forum after UNC's 82-70 win over Boston College last night has less to do with the outcome of the game itself as it does the terrifying collision between PJ Hairston and Dexter Strickland.
Hairston went for a steal along the baseline and missed, and as he tried to chase down Patrick Heckmann, he collided with Strickland, the help defender, at full speed. Essentially, Strickland clotheslined him with an elbow to the jaw, which sent him crashing to the floor. He landed on his back and his head whipped against the court.
Hairston couldn't stand up on his own afterwards, nearly falling when he tried to walk, and didn't open his eyes after the collision. It was scary enough for anyone watching, so imagine being his mother, who was actually in attendance. He was eventually taken off on a stretcher.
The diagnosis is a concussion. Hairston didn't return to the game, but he did sit up and walk around, eventually returning to the bench with a towel over his head.
It's unclear how long Hairston is going to be out. Reggie Bullock suffered a concussion earlier this season and missed a week. North Carolina play Virginia Tech on Saturday.
The frustrating part for Hairston is that he was, as Roy Williams put it, "as hot as I've ever seen him." The injury happened with 10 minutes left in the first half. Hairston came off the bench, but still managed 14 points — on 4-4 from beyond the arc — and three assists before the collision.
Thanks to everyone for the support, I'm okay just a very very bad headache….

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Georgia was left completely out of the BCS after coming up five yards shy to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game and of playing in the BCS title game.
Aaron Murray made sure there'd be no letdown in the Capital One Bowl.
Murray threw five touchdown passes in the sixth-ranked Bulldogs' 45-31 triumph over No. 23 Nebraska.
The junior signal-caller tallied 427 yards through the air on 18-of-33 efficiency against the nation's top-ranked passing defense for Georgia (12-2), which reached 12 wins for the third time in program history.
Chris Conley had 136 yards receiving with a pair of touchdowns, Tavarres King caught three balls for 104 yards and a score and Todd Gurley added 125 yards and a score on the ground in the triumph.
"I'm very proud of our guys, especially on offense," said Murray. "We definitely didn't make all of the plays that were out there, but when you put up 45 points against a team like Nebraska with a great defense, you have got to feel happy about that."
Rex Burkhead had 140 yards rushing and a score on 24 carries for the Cornhuskers (10-4), who suffered a 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. Burkhead also had a receiving touchdown.
Taylor Martinez registered 202 yards passing on 16-of-27 effectiveness with two touchdowns and interceptions, while also recording 46 yards rushing in defeat.
Nebraska closed the campaign with back-to-back losses on the heels of a six- game winning streak.
"At the end of the day we had our opportunities and there were some situations where you have to make plays. They made them and we didn't, and it cost us the football game," Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said.
Georgia trailed 31-23 midway through the third following Burkhead's 2-yard TD run, but the Bulldogs scored the final 22 points of the contest.
Murray tossed three of his scores during that stretch.
It took just five plays for Georgia to tie the contest as Murray hit Conley with a 49-yard TD pass and completed the ensuing two-point conversion to Rhett McGowan.
Alec Ogletree recovered Ameer Abdullah's fumble on Nebraska's next series, but Georgia didn't take advantage of the miscue and went three-and-out. But it scored on its ensuing touch.
Murray fired a 31-yard completion to Justin Scott-Wesley and hit Keith Marshall for a 24-yard score four plays later on the first play of the fourth for a 38-31 Georgia advantage.
The Huskers went three-and-out on their ensuing trek and the Bulldogs went up by two scores just three snaps later as Conley took a slip screen 87 yards for a touchdown and a 45-31 spread early in the fourth.
Martinez threw an interception on Nebraska's following touch and Georgia then took the next 4:39 off the clock to essentially seal the win.
Earlier, Shawn Williams blocked a Brett Maher punt on Nebraska's opening possession of the game, but Scott-Wesley was unable to fall on top of the ball in the end zone and the resulting scrum caused the football to go out-of- bounds for a safety.
Murray slung a 29-yard TD pass to Arthur Lynch following the safety, but Martinez found Jamal Turner for a 14-yard score on Nebraska's ensuing possession to make it 9-7.
Will Compton returned an interception 24 yards for a touchdown on the second play of Georgia's next touch, but Murray lofted a 75-yard score to King on the Bulldogs' next snap for a 16-14 Georgia margin late in the first.
Damian Swann brought back a Martinez interception 19 yards to the Nebraska 38 early in the second and Gurley rumbled 24 yards untouched for a touchdown, which gave Georgia a 23-14 cushion.
Nebraska, though, put up the next 17 points of the game.
Maher nailed a 39-yard field goal midway through the second and Martinez flipped a 16-yard score to Burkhead a bit later to give Nebraska a 24-23 edge heading into the break.
Nebraska was looking for its first 11-win campaign since 2001 ... Murray's 428
yards passing set a Bulldogs' bowl record ... Ogletree had 13 tackles ...
Murray finished the year with 3,893 yards and 36 TDs.
Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Mississippi State are all still seated at the head of the table in the latest College Football Playoff rankings.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The Washington Redskins will bench Robert Griffin III and start Colt McCoy at quarterback for Sunday's upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to a report by NFL.com.
The Boston Red Sox signed star free agents Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval to multi-year contracts Tuesday, announcing the deals separately in the span of about 5 1/2 hours.
You probably know that the two NBA teams with 12 wins are the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors.
At first glance, the San Jose Sharks appear to be a mildly disappointing team this season, but the club's record doesn't tell the whole story.

Four teens face drug charges in Salem
Four teenagers are facing charges because police say they found drugs and a handgun during a traffic stop in Salem.
State police at Kiski Valley stopped a car about 9 p.m. Monday near the routes 22 and 819, according to a news release.
Misty Parfitt, 19, of Clymer in Indiana County, was driving the car and accompanied by Allen Coker III, 18, John Baptiste, 19, and Derek Lamar Coker Jr., 19, all of Pittsburgh, police said.
A .380-caliber Ruger handgun, 203 stamp bags of heroin, about 5 grams of marijuana and $576 were seized from the vehicle, according to the release.
All are charged with possession with intent to deliver, carrying a firearm without a license and three counts of drug possession.
Baptiste, Parfitt and Derek Coker are charged with carrying a firearm with an altered serial number.
Allen Coker is charged with providing false identification to a police officer.
He and Baptiste are charged with conspiracy, and Derek Coker and Parfitt are charged with conspiracy possession with intent to deliver.
All four were arraigned before Washington Township District Justice Jason Buczak.
None was able to post bond, and all remain in custody in the Westmoreland County jail awaiting a preliminary hearing Jan. 14 before Buczak.

Newborn Baby Rescued After Rough Seas Hit Boat
A newborn baby was among 100 migrants who had to be rescued after their boat was caught in rough seas near Sicily.
The Italian Navy and coastguard intercepted the vessel off the coast of Lampedusa because of its precarious position and lack of life jackets.
The baby was treated by medical workers as a precaution but was said to be in good health.
Among the group were 23 women and 46 children, and the passengers were said to be of sub-Saharan origin.
In a separate operation, the Italian coastguard said it had rescued 12 Tunisian migrants whose dinghy had gone adrift near the island of Pantelleria.
The alarm had been raised by a relative of one of the passengers.
Two pregnant women were said to be among the group, who were then taken to port in Pantelleria.
The '"challenging" rescue operation had been slowed down by the darkness and lack of precise information about the migrants' location.
Last October, hundreds of people died after a boat carrying African asylum seekers caught fire and sank off Lampedusa.
It was one of the worst Mediterranean refugee disasters.

The contract was signed by BEH representatives and Westinghouse CEO Danny Roderick in the presence of Bulgarian PM Plamen Oresharski in Sofia Thursday
Oresharski explained that the agreement sets a deadline of 9 months for preparatory work on the technical, financial and economic parameters of the project.
He expressed his hopes that this preparatory work can be compeled ahead of that time.
On his part, Westinghouse CEO Danny Roderick said his company is committed to efficiently and transparently complete the project, which he views as highly positive for Bulgaria's economic growth and energy security.
The decision to negotiate with Westinghouse on the planned new Unit 7 of Kozloduy NPP was formally adopted by the Bulgarian cabinet on Wednesday, after plans for that were announced over the fall.

Tom Hicks and George Gillett's hold on Liverpool appeared to be strengthening last night despite supporters' protests and rumours that the American owners' refinancing deal had stalled. Sources close to the negotiations for a £350m loan Hicks and Gillett are seeking from the Royal Bank of Scotland and the US Bank Wachovia insisted yesterday that the deal is due to be signed this week, with Hicks hoping to announce its completion tomorrow.
Stories circulated yesterday that following Monday's stock market crash RBS had asked Hicks and Gillett to increase the amount in guarantees they are personally giving to support the new borrowing, and that the new demands were causing them problems.
However, sources at both Liverpool and in the City maintained that those details have already been agreed, and that arrangements are holding firm despite the turmoil of the last fortnight. Hicks and Gillett are indeed understood to have increased their guarantees in recent weeks from £30m each to around £55m.
The pair borrowed the £185m to buy Liverpool last February and were lent a further £113m by the Royal Bank of Scotland for 12 months, to absorb the club's debts, sign players and finance initial work on the club's new stadium. They are seeking to refinance that total loan of £298m, and with interest and further work required on the stadium the new loan is understood to amount to around £350m.
The two co-owners are understood to have agreed to contribute £40m in cash between them, as well as the personal guarantees and letters of credit.
At Anfield, fans have turned against Hicks and Gillett following Hicks's admission that they talked to Jürgen Klinsmann about the manager's job should their relationship with Rafael Benítez collapse.
Dubai International Capital, the private equity group largely investing the fortune of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the hereditary ruler of Dubai, then re-emerged as a potential buyer for the club, but have been adamant they will not hand a huge profit to Hicks and Gillett.
There has been speculation that the pair have fallen out and Gillett might combine with DIC to buy out Hicks, but Hicks himself has insisted all along that he sees Liverpool as a long-term investment, and that he has no intention of selling now.

Microgrid Solar's growth reflects nationwide trend
Send this to a friend
- Greta Weiderman
- Reporter- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
The solar energy industry is heating up, and Rick Hunter is cashing in.
Hunter, the CEO of St. Louis-based Microgrid Solar, expects his company to bring in at least $21.6 million in revenue this year, double its 2012 revenue of $10.8 million and a jump from the $500,000 it recorded in 2010.
Nationally, demand for solar energy is booming, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Across the country, installations of photovoltaics, which convert sunlight directly to electricity, totaled 723 megawatts in the first quarter of 2013, up 33 percent from last year's quarter, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association, a U.S. trade association for companies that research, manufacture, finance and build solar projects. Residential installations of photovoltaics increased 53 percent in the first quarter this year, compared with the first quarter of 2012.
Microgrid Solar, which has 41 employees, builds residential and commercial solar projects and also installs wind turbines and electric vehicle charging stations.
Hunter founded the company with an investment of $500,000 in 2009, and since then, it has installed 400 solar projects.
Microgrid will do more than 100 commercial projects this year, Hunter said. It has five utility-scale projects in various stages of development. They range from $6 million to $20 million each in total costs.
For example, Microgrid is the chosen developer for a 2.7 megawatt solar park on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, in partnership with a private land owner. The project, which is pending approval by local authorities and has a price tag of $7.1 million, is expected to be completed next year.

Short Cuts
Ivo Helory, a legal scholar from Kermartin, France, served as an ecclesiastical judge in the dioceses of Rennes and Treguier, becoming known as an advocate of the poor. Following his ordination, he served as a parish priest for eighteen years. Each day before celebrating Mass, and at other times as well, he would prostrate himself before the altar, tearfully offering fervent prayers. Similarly, he would prepare for his sermons on his knees. In his preaching, Ivo habitually included examples drawn from the lives of the saints. He kept his breviary and his Bible at his side almost constantly. Ivo generously gave his time to his priestly duties of hearing confessions and bringing Viaticum to the dying, carrying the Eucharist in a silver pyx over his heart. On his deathbed, Ivo kept his eyes fixed upon a crucifix placed before a window of his room. Upon hearing a bystander speak of asking for a doctor, Ivo responded that his only doctor was Jesus Christ. He repeatedly made the sign of the cross before breathing his last. Ivo is venerated as a patron saint of lawyers.

To the Unknown Nurse
Moth-like at night you flit or fly
To where the other patients lie ;
I hear, as you brush by my door
The flutter of your wings, no more.
Shall I now call you in and see
The phantom vanish instantly ?
Perhaps some sixteen stone or worse.
Suddenly falling through my verse !
Nay, be you sour, or be you sweet,
I'd see you not. Life's wisdom is
To keep one's dreams. Oh never quiz
The lovely lady in the street !
I knew a man who went large-eyed
And happy, till he bought pince-nez
And saw things as they were. He died
— A pessimist — the other day.

Chard Whitlow
(Mr. Eliot's Sunday Evening Postscript)
As we get older we do not get any younger.
Seasons return, and to-day I am fifty-five,
And this time last year I was fifty-four
And this time next year I shall be sixty-two.
And I cannot say I should like (to speak for myself)
To see my time over again - if you can call it time:
Fidgeting uneasily under a draughty stair,
Or counting sleepless nights in the crowded tube.
There are certain precautions - though none of them very reliable -
Against the blast from bombs and the flying splinter,
But not against the blast from heaven, vento dei venti,
The wind within a wind unable to speak for wind;
And the frigid burnings of purgatory will not be touched
By any emollient.
I think you will find this put,
Better than I could ever hope to express it,
In the words of Kharma: 'It is, we believe,
Idle to hope that the simple stirrup-pump
Will extinguish hell.'
Oh, listeners,
And you especially who have turned off the wireless,
And sit in Stoke or Basingstoke listening appreciatively to
the silence,
(Which is also the silence of hell) pray, not for your skins,
but for your souls.
And pray for me also under the draughty stair.
As we get older we do not get any younger.
And pray for Kharma under the holy mountain.

Wow! This is such an inspirational thing these students are doing. I also love the irony that it is for St. BALDrick's Foundation. That makes me laugh, since they are shaving heads and the foundation has the word bald in it. Is it just a coincidence, or did they name the foundation BALDrick's on purpose?

Publishers Weekly
Since it started national syndication in 1999, McGruder's comic strip has been famous for its sharp satiric perspective on African-American culture. The strip ended in 2006, following its debut as an animated series on Comedy Central's Adult Swim. This new collection serves as a farewell to the series' comics incarnation and takes a very unusual form. The first section of the book collects characteristically witty Boondocks strips from 2003 through 2005 on topics ranging from Iraq and Hurricane Katrina to the frustrations of computer help lines and the inanity of newly concocted slang. Part II, "The Media," consists primarily of interviews with McGruder from newspapers, magazines and television. These allow McGruder to express his political opinions more openly and point to various controversies that the strip aroused. This leads to Part III, "The Controversy," which reprints many of the strips from 1999 onward that various newspaper editors refused to run. What is especially striking is the outrage over McGruder's early criticism of the Bush administration's response to the 9/11 attacks. Hence this book is not only a retrospective of this decade's most impressive comic strips, but also a sharp reminder of shifting public opinion. (Nov.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness I have drawn you
-Jeremiah 31:3 (KJV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse
The very nature of God is love – the alpha and omega of God's eternal and unchangeable attributes unites in love, and it is through His eternal character of love, intermingled with a multiplicity of divine graces, that we discover ourselves to be His beloved children. It was not because of our sorry state that He demonstrated His unconditional love towards us (pitiable though we were)…. it was not because of our desperate destiny that He poured out His unique love to us, (appalling though our future was). It all rested upon God's eternal, unchangeable, divine, unique love towards us which was demonstrated by the One Who was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. Herein is love – not that we loved God, but that He took the initiative and loved us first, by sending His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not be condemned, but be given abundant, eternal life.
My Prayer
God of wisdom and love, we are not worthy to gather the crumbs under Your table and yet in love You picked us up out of the miry clay and dressed us in the robe of Christ's righteousness, for His names' sake. We praise You for the unconditional love You pour out on us in unhindered measure – all because Your eternal character is measureless love. In Christ's name we pray. AMEN

The Dow Jones industrial average had one of the most turbulent trading days in its history and suffered its biggest intraday loss. Worries about Europe's debt crisis started the market lower, and the selling accelerated in the early afternoon. Computer problems were being investigated for possibly worsening the sell-off.
Here are some facts and figures about the Dow's big day and where it stands, provided by Dow Jones & Co.:
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 347.80, or 3.2 percent, at 10,520.32, its biggest point loss since February 2009.
It had been down as much as 998.5 points, or 9.2 percent.
It was the biggest intraday drop in its history.
The Dow is now down 631.51 points, or 5.7 percent, the past three days. That's the biggest three-day point drop since November 2008 and the biggest three-day percentage drop since March 2009.
The index had a swing of 1,010.14 points between its highest and lowest levels of the day.
The Dow is 25.7 percent below its record close of 14,164.53 on October 9, 2007.
It is up 60.7 percent from its 12-year low close of 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009.
Despite its big losses this week, the Dow is still up 0.9 percent so far this year.

Architects on a roll at the coast
Thursday 26 September 1996
No one would expect a roller-coaster on a north England pleasure beach to merit equal status with handsome churches and smart university extensions, but this year's Riba Awards for Architecture are a little different.
Among the 51 award-winners chosen by judges up and down the country on behalf of the Royal Institute of British Architects is a "station for the Pepsi-Max Big One, Blackpool Pleasure Beach" designed by Philip England: "This building, said the jury, is seriously fun, a contrast with most of its frothy polystyrene neighbours. It makes a fine contribution to Blackpool as it arrives at the centenary of its Pleasure Beach."
England's station is somewhat different from its Inter-City counterparts. Its function is to "handle the vertical transfer and storage of three trains, provide maintenance workshops, and to load and unload passengers safely. It is designed for a maximum flow of 1,700 passengers per hour, and the loading section can hold 150 passengers at a time". Passengers at this award-winning station are taken for a vertiginous, scream-a-second ride on the world's tallest, fastest roller coaster (235 ft high and 85 mph). England's design, said the judges, was thoughtful because it offered "a surprisingly calm space to contain the snaking queue of aspirants and quaking bodies of descendants".
Given Britain's ascent or descent, depending upon your point of view, over the past 15 years into a burger-chomping, Coke and Pepsi-swilling, baseball-cap-wearing, gum- chewing shopping-mall society in which leisure has become the prime social goal, it seems only appropriate that a roller-coaster station on Blackpool Pleasure Beach should win an award that 20 years ago would have gone to a school or hospital.
Announcing the awards today, Owen Luder, the Riba president, said: "There are more Riba awards than ever before, which suggests that we are currently witnessing the rise of an exceptional generation of architects." Among the most talented of the younger generation of architects are Troughton McAslan and Allies and Morrison, both of whom won awards yesterday. The list suggests that a healthy number of civic buildings have been designed to high enough standards to win recognition from the Riba, yet Mr Luder said he was disappointed so few came from that sector. "I hope this is something that the National Lottery can rectify."
The National Lottery is itself something of a roller-coaster and, to date, there is hardly one major all new building of any architectural merit being funded by Millennium sources.
This may well be because the new-style British Leisure plc (formerly Great Britain) is much more interested in providing fun (for which read bread and circuses) for its customers (citizens was the boring old word) than creating architecture and civic spaces of lasting value.
Nevertheless, among the other 50 award-winners are a number of fine buildings that bear out Mr Luder's belief that British architecture is enjoying something of a renaissance.
Among these is one mainline railway station, Ashford International, which was designed by Nick Derbyshire Design Associates, a civic design that represents the cultural link between Britain and Europe as opposed to the transatlantic leisure line between Britain and the United States so neatly laid by Philip England's Pepsi Max Big One station Blackpool.

What are some best practices for using MEF in your code? Are there any pitfalls to take into account when starting your extensible application? Did you run into anything you should have known earlier?
closed as not constructive by Bill the Lizard♦ Jun 10 '12 at 15:47
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I'm in the midst of building a fully fledged extensible application on MEF (and using WPF with the MVVM pattern). I took the basic application framework that I built and open sourced it as SoapBox Core. I also published a demo based on SoapBox Core over at Code Project: Building an Extensible Application with MEF, WPF, and MVVM.
I'm not sure if using MVVM applies to you, but if it does, then there's a lot you might learn by looking at the implementation of MVVM with MEF. Particularly the way it imports Views.
As far as best practices... I created a nested hierarchy of extensions (so the basic module is called Host, and all it does is compose the application and import a few basic extensions). Then those extensions expose other extension points and the application kind of builds itself when you run it (a cross between composition and extensions).
To keep everything straight, I put the extension hierarchy into a set of static classes. For instance, here are all the extension points that the core framework provides:
So if you wanted your extension to add something to the file menu, you would export something that implements IMenuItem with contract name SoapBox.Core.ExtensionPoints.Workbench.MainMenu.FileMenu
Each extension has an "ID" which is just a string identifier. These existing IDs are defined in another hierarchy:
As you can see FileMenu already contains an Exit extension (that is pre-programmed to close the app). If you wanted to add an extension to the File menu you probably want it to appear before the Exit menu item. IMenuItem inherits from IExtension, which has two properties:
So your extension would return SoapBox.Core.Extensions.Workbench.MainMenu.FileMenu.Exit for InsertRelativeToID, and would return Before for the BeforeOrAfter property (an enumeration). When the workbench imports all the File menu extensions, it sorts everything based on these IDs. In this way, the later extensions insert themselves relative to the existing extensions.
the best-practice is to use the Shared (singleton) model. This bring us to design consideration which suggest that you should design your exportable parts as stateless and thread safe, so they won't be affected by multiple calls (maybe on different threads) upon the same instance.
In cases that the singleton model is not suitable for you, it is recommended to use builder pattern (to separate the exported part from the actual instantiation). You should remember that using the non shared model is quite costly because it is using reflection for the actual instantiation (by using the builder pattern you can gain the same result with less pain).
Also look here http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/bnaya/archive/2010/01/09/mef-for-beginner-toc.aspx And of cource you know that you can find info here: http://mef.codeplex.com
I'm very new to MEF still, but I wanted to add more to this discussion because I continually go through hell when trying to figure out why things don't work the way I expect them to.
First of all, when you're working with MEF, I recommend adding System.ComponentModel.Composition to your solution, rather than just adding references to the assemblies. Although debugging issues in MEF feels like a recursive nightmare, it's absolutely inevitable and vital when you can't figure out what's going wrong.
This leads me to my next point, which is to never, ever forget that MEF doesn't know about what you don't tell it, or if you don't tell it properly. For example, my alpha application was working great with MEF -- I had it compose parts in the main GUI, and all of the assemblies that got loaded by the container (which were dependencies of the main app) exported the necessary interfaces. Things worked out well and I was able to get MEF to resolve instances when and where I wanted it to.
However, I just started working on the next version; some plugins loaded (those that exported an interface, but had no import requirements), while others didn't (those that did need imports). This time I composed parts in my ApplianceManager class, which is in charge of loading plugins, but the plugins needed to resolve imports from other classes in the application (in my case, the Model). I figured this should automatically happen, especially since I can see in the Catalog construction that those assemblies were detected... but I still can't get it to work... which brings me back to my first point -- add the source code, and not the assemblies alone. Debugging this is nearly driving me insane, but I'll eventually figure it out after a lot of diligent stepping through MEF code. :)
I'd like to see someone post an answer to this question that talks about architectures that facilitate easy MEF integration. The answer regarding toolbar menus and such is really good, but I would like to see something that talks about things that reside entirely on the Model side of MVVM. Like how plugin managers, databases, plugins, and shared libraries should be arranged. I am still trying to figure out why I had a reasonably okay time getting my first MEF app to work, but after getting more "experience" with it, I cannot get my new app to work 100%.
I'd like to add another possible practice for helping you navigate through the MEF shrubbery. Today, I needed to do a sanity check on that project that I "just couldn't figure out", so I whipped up a simple, unconventional UML class diagram where I used dependencies to mark Imports and Exports. Here's what I found, which made the issue very clear.
Working application:
Non-working application:
Isn't that stupid? The Model wasn't loaded, and it was on an island all by itself. I believe this is why my MEF-based dependencies aren't getting resolved (if anyone can corret me if I am wrong here, I would appreciate it, though!)

This new book answers the question: Who really owns employee engagement? Clark provides a practical guide for employees and leaders who want to develop the "mindset" of highly engaged employees.

This memoir traces the steady decline of defined benefit plans and the rapid growth of 401(k) plans. Former assistant Secretary of Labor David George Ball championed the first large company 401(k) plan when he was with AMAX, Inc. and was later instrumental in pushing through legislation that made the adoption of 401(k) plans easier for private-sector companies. Stay tuned for an in-depth interview with Ball coming in the September issue of EBN.
Based on nine years of research and analysis, this book shows the principles for building a truly great organization in difficult times. The writing uses engaging stories to illustrate its ideas on exceptional leadership. Collins is also the author of Good to Great and other titles and recently addressed HR professionals at the annual SHRM conference on this subject.

Employees may scrutinize their manager's every word and deed for clues to their own success. Yet remarkably, many managers underestimate the profound impact they have on their employees' effectiveness and sense of satisfaction. This book aims to help managers improve relationships with employees and is filled with real life examples.
