TLC turned down ' … Baby One More Time'
R&B stars TLC turned down the chance to record Britney Spears' breakout mega hit "… Baby One More Time' because they were not comfortable with the lyrics.
Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins reveals the girl group was offered the Max Martin and Rami Yacoub song before it was snapped up by Spears as her debut single back in 1999, but the singers rejected the track because it didn't fit their sound.
Recalling the offer, she tells MTV News, "I was like, 'I like the song but do I think it's a hit? Do I think it's TLC? I'm not saying 'hit me baby'.' No disrespect to Britney. It's good for her. But was I going to say, 'Hit me baby one more time'? Hell no!"
The song became a chart smash around the world, selling more than 10 million copies and catapulting Spears to superstardom at 18, but Watkins insists she has no regrets about the missed opportunity because it just wasn't right for TLC.
She continues, "It worked for her, I'm happy for her, I like Britney. Every song isn't good for each artist, and when you're a real artist you know what you believe in and what you really want to sing. So, I'm clear that it was a hit, but I'm also clear that it wasn't for TLC."
Bryan Cranston responds to Britney Spears' 'Breaking Bad' grumble
"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston has responded to Britney Spears' remarks about the drama's much-hyped finale, suggesting his character Walter White may not have died after all.
The pop star confessed she was disappointed with the ending of her favorite TV show during an interview earlier this week, stating, "I didn't like it at all. I didn't think he should have died. … Maybe they'll do another episode where the ambulance comes and revives him."
Her comments have prompted Cranston to take to Twitter and respond.
He tweets, "To @BrittneySpear5. Not happy with the Breaking Bad finale? Or just sad that Walt died? Glad you felt for him. RIP W.W. maybe I'm still here."

Britney Spears asked director to tone down sexy new video
Britney Spears' provocative new video for "Work Bitch!" had to be re-edited ahead of its release this week, because the mother-of-two was uncomfortable with some sexy scenes.
The singer recently confessed she struggled to ditch her "sweet mommy" persona to tap into her inner sex bomb for the video, in which she can be seen dancing seductively in the middle of a desert and posing in a bikini as she brandishes a whip.
However, the superstar admits the finished product is nowhere near as raunchy as the initial cut – because she asked director Ben Mor to rework the clip and tone it down.
During a radio interview with The TJ Show in Boston, Mass., on Thursday, she said, "Oh my god, we showed way more skin and did way more stuff for the video then what is actually there. Like, I cut out half the video because I am a mother and because, you know, I have children, and it's just hard to play sexy mom while you're being a pop star as well. I just have to be true to myself and feel it out when I do stuff."
She added, "A lot of sex goes into what I do. But sometimes I would like to bring it back to the old days when there was one outfit through the whole video, and you're dancing the whole video, and there's, like, not that much sex stuff going on."
Her comments prompted some blog writers to suggest Spears was pressured into showing so much skin for the video, but her father and conservator Jamie Spears and manager Larry Rudolph insist that was never the case.
A statement issued to TMZ.com reads: "Britney is never pressured into anything. She reviews all creative and for her Work Bitch video she discussed toning down some parts in finding a balance of sexy and being a mom."
Meanwhile, Britney's new video has been banned from TV before 10pm in Britain.
Officials there have decided scenes of the pop star dancing in lingerie, and the use of the word bitch almost 20 times are inappropriate for broadcast at times when children may be watching TV.
Britney Spears brings sexy back in steamy video
Britney Spears has made a raunchy return to the spotlight with one of her sexiest videos to date, in which she whips a string of women while posing provocatively above a shark-infested pool.
The "Toxic" superstar is planning to release her eighth album ahead of her much-publicized two-year residency in Las Vegas, which is due to begin at the end of the year.
Spears has now released the promo for her new single, "Work B**ch!," and in the video she can be seen dancing seductively in the middle of a desert with a group of PVC-clad females.
She then grinds in a bikini before brandishing a whip, which she cracks at one woman crawling along a floor, ripping her underwear.
The star is then shown in a party scene, where one female dancer is gagged by a speaker system, before Spears overpowers a number of women attached to diamond-encrusted dog leashes.
Spears re-teamed with her "Scream and Shout" collaborators, producer will.i.am and video director Ben Mor, for her latest project.
Britney Spears promises not to take son onstage
Britney Spears has vowed not to take her 8-year-old son onstage during her upcoming Las Vegas shows.
The "Toxic" hit maker is mother to Sean Preston, 8, and 7-year-old Jayden, and she announced last month she wanted to incorporate her eldest boy into the concerts during her two-year residency in Sin City.
The move surprised her ex-husband – the boys' father, Kevin Federline, but now a representative for the star has spoken out to insist Spears was joking.
The pop star is set to kick off her Las Vegas run on December 27.
Britney Spears' manager dismisses lip-syncing accusations
Britney Spears' manager has defended the pop star for lip-syncing on stage, insisting all the best female singers use a backing track in concert.
Spears is currently preparing for a two-year residency in Las Vegas but many fans fear they will be short-changed unless she ditches her miming and sings live.
Her manager Larry Rudolph has now spoken out to address the criticism, insisting the singer will go live in Sin City – with the aid of a backing track.
He tells Billboard.com, "It's hard for the public to understand what goes on when you get on stage and you're dancing full out during a song. No matter what anyone says, there's not a single artist who goes out there and does full choreography and is singing without a vocal track underneath them. … It's physically impossible. … There might be some numbers where she's full out dancing with a (vocal) track underneath her, but there won't be any lip-syncing across the board."
Rudolph also addressed reports that Britney is attending singing lessons ahead of her residency, adding, "The vocal coaching is really just to strengthen her voice and get her to a point where she can go out there every night and do a full show."
Las Vegas-bound Britney Spears hates gambling
Britney Spears won't have to worry about losing her fortune in the casinos of Las Vegas during her upcoming residency as the pop star hates gambling.
The singer will bank a reported $30 million for her Britney: Piece of Me shows, but she is adamant fans won't see her sinking her cash into slot machines while she's living in Sin City during the two-year stint.
She tells E! News, "I'm not a gambling girl. My boyfriend's like, 'You can put the money on the table. You can do this! You can bet this.' I'm like, 'I don't want to!' (I'd rather) buy a pair of $15,000 shoes. … I don't drink, I don't have a margarita, but I go shopping. I like to … just indulge a little bit, shoes, face care creams, all the girly stuff."
Spears kicks off her concerts on December 27 at the Planet Hollywood resort, and the singer admits she is excited to make Las Vegas her "second home."
She adds, "It seemed like the ideal job to me because when I'm on tour I'm in a different bed every night. It's so grueling flying to a different place all the time. It felt ideal to be set in one place. It'll be my second home."
Britney Spears struggled to channel bad girl for new video
Britney Spears struggled to ditch her "sweet mommy" persona to tap into her inner sex bomb while filming the raunchy music video for her new single "Work B**ch."
The pop star is preparing to launch an assault on the charts with her latest track, but admits she felt unnatural getting down and dirty for the promo now that she is a mother to two young boys.
She tells E! News, "My choreographer actually, when I was doing the rehearsals for this video, he was like, 'Britney, you are not a sweet mommy in this video. You are nasty [bleep] mommy in this video.' And I was like, 'OK… OK!' When you start to feel the character, you start to feel silly, 'cause you're like, 'This isn't me, I'm not like this.' Moving all sexually and stuff like that. … As mommy you feel really awkward doing that."
But Spears insists she was blown away by her own confident performance when she saw the footage: "When I watch playbacks sometimes, I'm like, 'Who do I think I am?! Who the hell do I think I am?!'"
Helicopter ride left Britney Spears feeling ill
Britney Spears had to cancel a string of promotional appearances on Tuesday after falling ill during an early morning helicopter ride over Las Vegas.
The pop superstar announced her upcoming residency at Planet Hollywood in Sin City by buzzing over Nevada as fans flipped boards to reveal massive images of the singer in the desert just outside the gambling mecca.
Spears admits it was a thrilling way to promote her upcoming shows, but the helicopter ride left her feeling queasy and she was forced to cancel a series of TV appearances later in the day, including a chat with "Extra's" Mario Lopez.
She has since rescheduled the interview and tells Lopez, "We're up there for 50 minutes, we couldn't circle anymore because we had to stay in one place… we're hovering and the helicopter would drop and kept dropping and I was like, 'Oh my God, I'm going to throw up all over everybody'.
"I was so embarrassed, but we landed and I got off and was able to pull it together."
Britney Spears confirms two-year residency in Vegas
Britney Spears has confirmed rumors she is to take Las Vegas by storm with a two-year residency at Planet Hollywood.
The singer officially announced the news in a pre-taped interview from Sin City for ABC's "Good Morning America," which aired on Tuesday, revealing she will be performing 50 concerts a year for her Britney: Piece of Me show.
In the video she says, "I love Vegas, the energy here is really, really good. I'm definitely going to do the greatest hits, but I'm going to have to put some of my new material in it, just to keep it fresh."
Spears will treat fans to a theater atmosphere, mixed with a club feel during the performances.
She adds, "We wanted the environment to be that way so people could come and have a good time and stand up and feel like they're in the show with me."
After the announcement aired, the singer was flown via helicopter to the Nevada desert, where she was surprised by more than 1,000 fans dressed in her signature schoolgirl outfit from the "…Baby One More Time" video, who were holding up cards to form giant pictures of Spears.
She told them, "This is amazing, this is so cool. This is such a sweet thing to do. I don't even know what to say, I'm speechless. This is so… I can't believe it, it's shocking."
However, Spears admitted she was still recovering after vomiting during the helicopter flight, "Actually I got sick in the helicopter, I was like, 'Oh my god.'"
She also went on Twitter.com following the incident to swear off choppers forever, writing, "Y'all that will be the last time u EVER see me in a helicopter. Love u GMA & that was INCREDIBLE but helicopters are not for this girl."
Spears has reportedly signed a $15 million-a-year contract with Planet Hollywood bosses, which averages $310,000 per show.
The concerts and helicopter ban were not the only announcements Spears had for her fans – her eighth studio album will be out in the U.S. on December 3, one day after her 32nd birthday.

Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many City Attorneys, experience and pay levels seem to be correlated; more years in the business generally lead to more money. Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $69K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $92K. On average, City Attorneys make $92K following one to two decades on the job. Professionals who achieve more than 20 years of experience generally enjoy cushy salaries; their median compensation sits in the ballpark of $110K, a plump six-figure sum.

Comfortable, warm, and fits well

I've been on several backcountry tours with these socks and have been perfectly comfortable and warm.
PhD Ski Medium Socks
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Got this sock in a L for my 11eeee feet. Seem to be a bit stretchier and a wee bit larger, maybe a half a size, than the PhD Snowboard Medium weight socks. The extra padding in the shin area kept my shins and thus my feet warmer when I walked or moved around a lot, something that might come in handy for other uses than skiing. i.e. hiking, hunting, trudging through deep snow etc. I do wish they made snowboard and ski socks with a heavyweight cushion, but am satisfied with these for what they are.
great socks

Great Minus The Cost
It still blows me away that ski socks cost so much. If pairs are going to cost $26, I at least want something that will last and be comfortable. Of the brand's I've tried, SmartWool is the brand I trust for that. I have thinner socks from them and picked these up to compliment them on colder days.

These socks work very well, great fit, they do not loosen up and get saggy after a full days use (nor do they stink)

Changed the way I Ski
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Like most people, I used to not think so much about the socks I wore for skiing. I would just go into my sock drawer and find the thickest wool socks I could find. At the end of the day however, my feet would be cold from sweat and moisture. Not to mention my feet would smell awful. The PHD sock however changed the way I ski. The thinner construction of the sock allows for a better feel of my boots on my shin making me feel more in control. In addition, the extra cushioning around the shin area provides just the support you need to prevent shin bang. The socks regulate temperature and moisture perfectly. Sweat and moisture sry quickly leaving my feet happy and smelling peachy at the end of an epic day eating up Utah's powda chowda.

This is the sock. BEST in my drawer.
i love these socks!
I don't loose one. and have a miss matched.
this is the go to.
i have a very low volume foot and these keep them warm. I feel i have good contact with the boot and they have held up well. compression for my size 8 foot is great with the M size. I love this sock

My go-to sock...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The medium weight cushion is perfect for everyday riding, never get too warm or too cold. Comfortable, just make sure when you wash them, let them air dry. I'm on my third pair of these in a few seasons... they hold up, but could be slightly more durable.

No More Searching for the Ultimate Socks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I was skeptical about paying $25 for a pair of socks compared to what you can buy "wool" socks or Synthetic Socks for at the Outlets from top top manufacturers. No more, after taking the plunge and buying two pairs of the Smartwool socks I am completely sold and will buy a few more pairs, not only for Skiing, but for other activities as well. Last year I Skied with some Outlet Socks from the top athletic wear manufacturers and got my shin skinned and blistered. I got to the point I was taping up my shins - and losing all the hair in the process - and it was uncomfortable going for more than two days straight. This year I decided to try the Smartwool Phd Medium Ski and my advice is to run, click, do whatever to get these before you Ski again. The socks are the ultimate, they provide unprecedented support and cushioning where you need it, they wick sweat away, they retain elasticity - especially for a large calf person like me -, they do not retain odor - at least I only used them two days in a row max -, and they appear very durable.
I don't know if it is the Merino Wool, but they have done something in the process that give these socks all the features of synthetics and maintain the warmth and feel of wool. I am totally happy with these socks and the only drawback is that the colors are limited. You may have to consider the other options - Light, Racer, etc if you want more options. I have heard that Wigwam and Point6 are also creditable alternatives, but it may be a while before I try those.

I'm a fan

I've put many miles on these socks, whether it be skiing, landscaping, running around town hitting the bars, hiking to climbing routes, running around town hitting the bars, operating machinery after running around town hitting the bars, and these socks have held up fantastically. For overall function, I feel these are better suited for me as a general use winter sock. They are honestly a little too big for a performance-fit ski boot (try the Ski Racer sock: http://www.backcountry.com/smartwool-phd-ski-racer-sock?ti=U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6c2tpIHJhY2VyOjE6Mjpza2kgcmFjZXI)
While compared to what your grandparents gave you as stocking stuffers, these are low profile, thin fitting socks, I did still find I got much better circulation and overall warmth out of a lightweight sock in comparison to these. If your boots are a lighter looser fitting, which one might term a "comfort fit", these would be great for you.
While I have determined these to be true to size (I went with the Large and I wear a 10 in street shoes and running around the bars shoes, and I don't think I should have gone with anything smaller or large), these socks did seem to bunch up in places around my toes and ankle, which made them feel a bit sloppy at times.
Aside from that, I was pleased.

Gave these as a gift to my husband who is always getting shin bang and has horrible circulation in his feet. These socks have helped SO much with the extra padding in the shins and the toes. LOVE SmartWool!

SmartWool or bust
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I can't believe how good smartwool is. It really makes a massive difference. These socks are nicer than my other SmartWool socks I picked up at sports authority, but I wish they had extra padding in the shin area like my other socks. I'm not sure what the white line is even there for. There is no difference in material.
Brandon Smith

really warm and well cushioned! work great in stiff boots to keep your feet as comfortable as they can be.
Too thick for me, but well made and warm
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are definitely on the thicker end of the "medium" spectrum but well made for sure. Just not for me

Nothing beats merino
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These are the perfect socks for a cold ski day. I wore them up at Snowbird a few days ago. It was -10 up top and my toes felt fine. They got cold after a couple hours, but hey, it was a cold one.
These socks are thick, snug, and comfy. Allowing you to have a perfect day on the mountain, without having to stop at the lodge every couple runs. I got the silver, and the colors and design are awesome!
They fit true to size, just follow the sizing chart on this page and you should be good to go.

Very Comfortable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have used these socks a few times so far and they are great. They are very comfortable and my feet have not been cold yet. They provide a great amount of cushion for the bottom of my feet as well as my shins. The sizing on these socks is pretty true to the sizing chart. This is typically the type of ski sock that I will have 2-3 pairs of because they work so well.
Kyle Madison
Great days start with great socks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are warm and snug fitting. They do have quite a bit of stretch to them. I like the structure of the elastane because it really helps keep the sock in place. They do seem to be peeling a bit faster than my Icebreaker socks but the new WOW or wool on wool technology will lend to greater longevity, especially where padded sections meet the thinner sections. Turn them inside out when you wash them to get the sweat and dead skin out. If you aren't riding with merino socks, you don't even know what you're missing. GET SOME!!

amazing socks for the super cold days and all the days in between. they dry fast and dont get crunchy after 2 days of use. 3 pairs of these for 7 days winter camping and skiing every day and my feet never got swampy or cold. five stars

Manchester United sign Sengal striker Diouf (days after Fergie said Owen would be last recruit)
Manchester United have signed Senegal international Mame Biram Diouf from Norwegian side FK Molde for an undisclosed fee. The 21-year-old is known as one of the most exciting young players in the Norwegian league and follows in the footsteps of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who moved to Old Trafford from Molde 13 years ago. United have signed the Under 20 international on a three-year deal but he will be loaned back to Molde until January. Sir Alex Ferguson said: 'We weren't going to sign him yet but there was a lot of interest developing from other clubs and we didn't want to get caught out, so we moved quickly to bring him here.' 'We've been looking at him for two years. We weren't intending on signing anyone else after last week - we feel we have a full squad - but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids. 'We decided to act and he'll be the last person we sign.'

Size Limit of Universe
Name: Kumardip Status: other Grade: 6-8 Country: India Date: Summer 2014
We know that a big crunch will occur after many years. The universe is now expanding. Up to what limit will it expand? What is the final limit of our universe?
I do not think there is enough evidence to say that the Big Crunch will occur. We have not found sufficient mass to cause a reversal to the expansion, we are currently observing an accelerating rate of expansion, and our strongest telescopes has not allowed us to see beyond a certain distance/time - we do not know.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius) Canisius College
Very good question. We do not know. Nor do we know if the expansion will ever stop; right now there is evidence that it will never stop, and that the expansion is even accelerating.
Sincerely David H. Levy

In comparing strategies used to control neuron number, we find it useful to view nervous system development as occurring in three phases. The phases overlap--each is a process, not an event. The first phase is the development of a genetic nervous system. This is a nervous system of simple genetic intention, not a blueprint or pile of bricks. Its characteristics are abstract: How many neurons in this stem cell destined to produce, which cells are programmed to die, how much target does this cell need to survive. At the level of the individual, the genetic nervous system is essentially fixed, but over generations it is fluid. As this genetic intent interacts within a world of cells, a real brain appears. A new set of rules only tacitly present in the genome is expressed--the embryonic nervous system emerges. The interaction of its parts defines the shape and size of the nervous system. Neuron numbers are adjusted interactively by changes in proliferative potential and the severity of cell death. Cell fates are established in part through interactions with other cells and with hormones. Glial cell numbers are adjusted to match the neuron populations. This phase of brain development is what the embryologist sees under the microscope. The third and final phase of development begins when the brain starts to function and the animal starts to deal with its world. Small changes in neuron number may occur during this period, but these changes are generally of minor functional importance. At this point, the smaller elements of neuronal organization are refined in shape, number, and distribution. Axons are lost or rearranged; dendrites grow, branch, and retract; synapses are fine-tuned; and finally, receptor densities and transmitter titres are adjusted. Some of these interactions and numerical adjustments continue until the animal dies.

Birth of a giant, and a giant rivalry
The Boeing Company, William Boeing, and Pilot Eddie Hibbard all solidified their place in history in 1919, delivering mail internationally between Canada and the U.S.—first while flying a Boeing C-700 and later a Boeing B-1.
The historic Boeing B-1 aircraft was partially constructed of wood laminate veneer, plywood, and spruce. When aviation geeks think of wood planes, Howard Hughes no doubt comes to mind; yet, William Boeing enjoyed a long, prosperous history in the timber, furniture-making, and wood-infused aircraft.
Would you have felt confident and comfortable flying in or piloting a wood airplane?
When it comes to the Boeing B-1, with its laminate and plywood, this geek is amazed at the quality. The truest testament to the B-1's construction materials and workmanship comes in the form of miles flown–350,000 to be exact and a figure that was unheard of at the time. The B-1 required six engine replacements over eight years of service on the international airmail route.
The next major milestone for The Boeing Company came on 24 May 1920, when the company's BB-L6 took to the air. The BB-L6 was the first to conquer the heights of Mount Rainer, a towering stratovolcano that measures 14,411 feet (4,392 miles).
This geek is fascinated by aviation history. Stay tuned for insights on the birth of the highly competitive aircraft manufacturing landscape!

Opinionated project generator for node.js relying on express, jade, stylus, Bootstrap 3, and mongoose.
Truss is an opinionated scaffolding tool for node.js that originated from bumm. Bumm is great but I wish to take Truss in a different direction. There may have been a good reason to call the tool "bumm" but I never understood it. "Truss" on the other hand is a construction term, similar to but not the same as scaffolding.
truss /trəs/ noun a framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure
Generated projects rely on express and mongoose without any persistence abstractions, additional libraries or frameworks. Just plain express and mongoose!
- Rename to Truss
- Switch to Bootstrap 3.0
- Use latest Jade syntax
- Fix the issue with using ObjectId on the command line
- Update JavaScript code to conform to standard Node.js style guidelines
- DRY up the code as needed
- Make stylus+nib support an option
- Make less support an option
- Fix errors with generating resources
- You should be able to scaffold a new app into an existing directory
- Make all config Heroku ready
- Replace i18n-2 support with Air BNB's polyglot.js
- Authentication
- Ember.js
Installing Truss
npm install truss -g
Mini Tutorial
First cd to the directory where the project should be created
cd /path/to/projects/root
Create a project skeleton via
truss app testapp
Next cd to testapp
cd testapp
And install required packages through npm
npm install
Create a model, route and views via scaffold
command. The model
should have two properties "title" and "description" where title is required.
truss scaffold test title:string:required:true description
Model validators are specified after property name and type in plain mongoose syntax. In case no type is specified the property will be of type string.
Mongoose types 'String', 'Number', 'Date', 'Buffer', 'Boolean', 'ObjectId', 'Array' are supported. Additionally the types 'Datetime' and 'Textarea' are supported which result in a datetime html 5 input tag and a textbox tag. Types are case insensitive.
Now start node app.js
and navigate your browser to http://localhost:3000/tests
Scaffolding restful routes
You can create a JSON REST endpoint by scaffolding a model and its corresponding routes. The arguments are the same as above, but instead of scaffold use scafffold:rest like this
truss resource post title:string:required:true description
Project generator for node.js using express and mongoose Usage: truss [options] command [arguments] Options: --help, -h Output this usage dialog --version, -v Output the version of truss Commands: app <name> Create a new application scaffold <name> [attrib] Create a new route, model and views for <name> resource <name> [attrib] Creates a model and route for resource <name> view <name> [attrib] Creates views for a <name> route <name> [attrib] Creates a route for a <name> model <name> [attrib] Creates a new mongoose model for a <name> name: Name should be provided as singular, so use `item` instead of `items`. For `scaffold`, `view`, `route`, `resource`, `model` commands name accepts a path prefix. For example `admin/item` will create model, routes and views in an admin directory. Routes will then point to `/admin/items`. This option can be useful if you plan to add some authentication based on routes later on. attrib: Attributes are used to describe properties of models used in routes, views and of course models using the schema: name:type:validator:validatorValue:validator:validatorValue... Examples: truss app todo Generates an express app skeleton truss scaffold item Generates item model, route and views supporting basic CRUD operations truss view item Generates item views truss scaffold item name:string:required:true Generates item model, route and views with a single property "name" that is required.
What truss creates
After executing truss app someappname
you'll find the following structure in your file system.
| app.js
| helpers.js
| package.json
| README.md
| defaults.js
| development.js
| index.js
| production.js
| model-mapper.js
| +---css
| | custom.css
| |
| \---vendor
| +---bootstrap
| | +---css
| | | bootstrap-responsive.css
| | | bootstrap-responsive.min.css
| | | bootstrap.css
| | | bootstrap.min.css
| | |
| | +---img
| | | glyphicons-halflings-white.png
| | | glyphicons-halflings.png
| | |
| | \---js
| | bootstrap.js
| | bootstrap.min.js
| |
| \---jquery
| \---js
| jquery.min.js
| index.js
| index.jade
| layout.jade
Application structure explained
Creates and initializes an express app with a mongoDb connection configured. Routes will be setup by requiring the routes directory directly. See routes below.
Defines some jade/html helpers for displaying error messages and displaying values.
Initial package with value entered in the prompt dialog
Empty readme to silence npm
The config directory is required by app.js
to load the configuration files. Truss assumes that you have three config files
- defaults Defines defaults that are used in development and production mode
- development Defines configuration values used in development mode only
- production Defines configuration values used in production mode only
Truss loads defaults first, then loads the configuration file development
or production
depending on the current NODE_ENV
environment variable and overrides all default values with the development or production values.
Truss ships with a single library file that is responsible to map values provided in request body to a mongoose model.
The public folder contains a quite up to date version of twitter bootstrap under vendor/boostrap
an up to date version of jQuery under vendor/jquery
and a custom.css
file under css.
Truss organizes all shipped 3rd party css/javascript libraries are placed in the vendor
directory and follows a js
, css
, img
for vendor libraries. You are free to place your libraries wherever you want :)
All generated routes will be generated under routes. After creating an app with Truss, you'll find a single index.js
file in
this folder. Index.js requires all files that are in or routes or a sub directory of routes to initialize the route. In case
you require a route to be defined before another route you can always require that route in index.js
or load routes manually
in a defined order.
index.js also defines a route to /
to render a nice getting started page. This functionality can be removed without harming
the system!
All generated view will be generated under views. After creating an app with Truss, you'll find an index.jade that is a welcome file to display some help text or defined routes, a layout.jade file that defines the layout used by all generated views and a mixin folder that defines mixins used in Truss generated views.
Truss Change Log
- Fixed indentation to comply with Node.js style guides
- Added a form helper for single select boxes
- Updated the edit and create templates to use the same form
- Fixed issue with ObjectId not working in model creation

- Support directories when scaffolding models, views and routes
- Render a nice start page
- Support rest resources for api services
- Express and Mongoose updates
- Fix startup scripts
- Provide better error messages
- Use mixins to render forms
- Add
npm init
like prompt to specify generated package.json values by thomas peklak
- Minor bug fixes in views
- Basic support for array types
- Reorganizes public assets in vendor folder
- Disable 'x-powered-by' header
- Bootstrap update
- Mongoose update
- Initial version
