Hi, I created three classes within the ID#Content that will each hold an image but they are not showing up?

.symbol_visual {
border: 1px;
There is presently only a style for one of the classes.
The .symbols div is inside the #intro div, and as #intro is hidden unless the "Main {Portfolio}" menu item is clicked, .symbols will be hidden too.
If you want the .symbols div to be visible no matter which section of the page is currently visible then you should remove it from #intro and make it an immediate child of #content. i.e.

Having done this, for .symbols to be visible on the page you will need to either add content to it or else give it a background.
There is some JavaScript on that page setting it to display: none. If you turn off JS, you'll see that everything shows up.
The JS is needed, can you give any tips on how to solve?
It's not really my area, I'm afraid, but I've move this to the JS forum, as this is a a script issue.
The only thing i see that would hide the element is the following which occurs 2 times in your source. Simply comment out the first occurrence and the child elements should appear again.
Commenting it out breaks some of the tags. This has become a non-CSS related issue, but is there not something that could be added to the JS so those classes show up? So this issue can become a CSS issue again ?
You can add this to the JavaScript after everything else...
[/B]You can change your CSS selector to
.symbol_visual {
display: block !important;
It shows but it's lost near the bottom of the page. I've rearranged the order of the HTML a few times and I want the blocks to appear ontop of #Intro. I don't know why I have create a block and colored it orange for #intro it's not needed, I'll have to remove and set the text in the middle and put a background on #intro and keep the #intro img style then put three blocks of the color gray above the #intro p.
Can you please clarify, as fully as possible, what you are trying to achieve with the symbols div or indeed the intro div (within which it sits).
Is it suppose to appear when you use a menu option?Is it something that should be there all the time?
SgtLegend told you how to make it appear.
I want the symbols div to appear there all the time. There main purpose will be to only hold three images with a hover. I applied the code that SGTLegend suggested but the divs are not showing up ontop of the #Intro div. I may remove the orange block that is present but I want the symbols div to continue to appear.
I'm not wanting to be rude but ...
This application is a mess. You are putting far to much functionality on a single page and trying to handle its interaction with the user by javascript. This is not good practice. If nothing else search engines will have difficulty and people that locate your site will have problems getting the information they are after.
I know you have been working on this for sometime but I believe the complexity is stopping it reached a finished state.
Quite some time it has been. The javascript works exactly how I want it to work, if cleaning it up will improve it just as long as it doesn't break it how it works. What can be done?
Edit:The JS at the beginning of the page controls each of IDs without it, it won't hide the other ID which is the main function of the site. The second part of the JS which you are familiar with controls the form and verifies the user has given valid information. There is a strong possibility that something is breaking any new divs whether it's a ID or class contained within the #Intro div to display by the JS but since everything is working, I can't see it.
Another possibility is that you plan to have a .symbols div in each of the sections. In this case, the reason the .symbols div is not visible is that there is no content in it and the border value is incomplete. If you change it to the following then a border will be shown around it, when viewing Main {Portfolio}.
border: 1px green solid;
color: gray;
height: 250px;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
width: 100px;
You no longer need display:block!important and only need the z-index if you wish it to overlap the #gears div.
Victor - I tried the first method and it works except it pushes all the main ID down (ie, main, illustrations etc) down how can I prevent this?
Edit: I removed the display:block which reverted the page back to how it was, without the .symbols class.This class symbols won't need to override the Gears DIV it will reside below the navigation but above #Intro p
Float it left, and give it some top margin to prevent it obstructing your menu.
.symbols is not showing up. If I put .symbols below #content ID it pushes the other ID down. If I remove display:block and add the styles you mentioned, I don't see nothing !?!?
It's working, can from post #13 be moved to the CSS part of the forum ? I'd like to continue on with a few CSS questions regarding the page since it resumes as a CSS issue.
I placed the classes of symbols into a div called #symbol to move the div around moves the classes which are placed below the div #Intro.
I want to have the symbol classes are aligned near the top of the #Intro ID ?I want control of the #intro img tag as I've lost control of it and I want to position it down from the top of the page ?And I want control over #intro p style which I loose control over that style when something else get positioned, my guess is because it's a child ?
Many happy returns of the day to this project
Sorry but this sentence doesn't make sense to me.
I want to have the symbol classes are aligned near the top of the #Intro ID ?
Do you want the three divs with the class .symbol to be side by side and align with the top of the #intro div?
I want control of the #intro img tag as I've lost control of it and I want to position it down from the top of the page ?
The img element in the #intro div is targeted by the existing CSS rule for #intro img. To move the img down reduce the negative margin-top value.
And I want control over #intro p style which I loose control over that style when something else get positioned, my guess is because it's a child ?
I suggest you provide a graphic showing where all the elements in the page are supposed to be. Then someone can suggest how they can be positioned most effectively.

An 87-year-old man was arrested after he told authorities he was forced "at gunpoint" to transport the 105 bricks of cocaine they found in the back of his pickup truck.
Leo Earl Sharp, of Michigan City, Ind., was pulled over on Interstate 94 near Chelsea, Mich., late last week for following too close and improper lane use, Detroit TV station WDIV reported.
A K-9 quickly discovered the 228 pounds of cocaine after Sharp gave officers permission to search his vehicle, police told the Detroit Free Press.
The estimated wholesale value is $2.9 million.
On Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Randon ordered Sharp released on bond on a charge of possession with intent to deliver.
The Detroit News described the scene in the court room as "comical" and "one of the more colorful appearances in recent memory." The newspaper reported that at one point Sharp said he couldn't hear the judge because he lost his hearing "in the war" and that he was unable to return to his home in Indiana because his passport was stolen.

MARKET traders in Worcester say they are in the dark over what will happen to them when a £550,000 revamp to restore the shopping parade gets underway next month.
Some of the 16 traders at Angel Place have also hit out at some of the negative comments made by readers on the Worcester News website about the look of the market and the quality of their goods. Some readers made comments saying the market was 'horrible' with 'sub standard' stalls while one described it as 'a scruffy dump' - prompting a robust defence from traders.
The regeneration work by Worcester City Council which also involves CrownGate owners the Crown Estate and Worcestershire County Council starts on Monday, September 1. It will take 10 weeks to complete, with the market reopening in time for the Christmas trading period but some of the traders are scratching their heads over where they will be based in the interim.
Existing market units will be ripped out and replaced by modern, moveable stands and the area will be repaved in stages to keep Angel Place open while a new market manager will also be appointed ready to start in December.
Carl Cusack, aged 39, a stall-holder at Carl's Fruit and Veg, said: "The council hasn't said anything and we're supposed to be moving in three weeks. We haven't been told where we're moving to or how many days we will be allowed to work. They said they would be keeping us informed. We just want to know what's happening. People are worried."
He criticised those who had made malicious comments on the Worcester News website about the quality of his stock, saying he gets his goods fresh from the wholesaler in Birmingham at 3am each day.
The father-of-two said: "If it was rubbish we would not serve any customers, we would have no regulars and we would have no money but we get small-minded idiots running us down. There are people here every day, trying to earn a living. It's our livelihood. We've all got mortgages and kids to feed."
A stall-holder from the phone stall, who wished to be known only as Helen, said the stall provided a point of contact for older people because the people on the stalls would have more time for them than in other shops.
Pat Perry, aged 59, of Worcester Luggage said he had spoken to a helpful man at Worcester City Council about the revamp but that he still did not have all the answers he needed. He said: "We have got to know where we're going and the size of the stalls. It's just the uncertainty - we need to know."
He said his stall takes three hours to set up and he works around 12 hours a day. He said: "This is my livelihood." In response to criticism from readers he said: "These are really good people and serious traders."
He suggested the council repaint the existing market units black and gold rather than rip them out. He said: "I would rather it stopped as it was." Stall-holder Paul Gardner known as "The Petman", aged 48, said: "This has character. If we have a permanent structure for in the city for a market we're a market town, not a clone town. My business keeps a roof over my head and over my elderly parents' heads. If this went we would be up the creek without a paddle."
A spokesman for Worcester City Council said a temporary home for the stalls in the interim could be agreed by this Wednesday while the refurbishment takes place. He said although Angel Place would remain the home of the market the moveable stalls would allow them to move to other locations such as the High Street.

HOUSTON - The area of low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico south of New Orleans normally would be cause of concern for those of us on the upper Texas coast. Pressures are relatively low and there is a clearly a closed circulation -- weather speak for winds turning in a counter clockwise direction surrounding the lowest pressure. The ocean temperature in the Gulf is at its hottest level of the season, more than enough heat content to support a hurricane. This low has been drifting south and southwest the past two days away from land, usually another warning sign.
So why am I not concerned? Well, this visible satellite image gives us clues on the environment surrounding the low. First, all the thunderstorms are displaced south of the surface center. What this tells us is that there is significant northerly wind shear, where winds aloft are moving the tall thunderstorms away from the center. This shear is forecast to continue to be a factor today and increase tomorrow. Second, the absence of any tall clouds across the northern Gulf in this picture is a hint that the air is dry and stable. I usually use a different satellite image, called water vapor, to diagnose the dry and moist areas in the areas of suspect storms. Dry and stable air will inhibit this system's ability to develop into a tropical storm.
The cold front that will move through our area Saturday will quickly absorb this low pressure and move it quickly east and northeast toward Florida. NHC gives this system only a 20 percent chance of becoming a depression or tropical storm today or tomorrow.Animated Hurricane Map

Highlight: Can of Worms Monday, Channel Ten, 8.30pm
I DID feel for Chrissie Swan, having to front the first live episode of Can of Worms only days after she was caught having a quiet ciggie in her car (something that's now, apparently, a hanging offence if you're in the family way). But whatever else you might say about her, she's an absolute pro and the promos, making wild hay from the unexpected publicity, did both her and the show a disservice. That ep was not all about Chrissie, or all about that photo. Instead, she got in, addressed it head-on, used it as an intro to the first ''worm'' of the evening, and then moved on. It could not have been handled better. From there, what was most surprising about the return of this interesting but flawed series was how much like the pre-recorded version it was. CoW always felt like a concept that was begging to go live, to have real audience interaction - in the studio and at home - and to get a bit freewheeling with the guests on the couch. Although the past two seasons have often been lively and sometimes surprising, as a viewer you were always aware that it was a package, something partly scripted and then combed through and picked out the best bits, even as it presented itself as a warts'n'all discussion of the hot issues of the week. So it was with some anticipation - and the expectation of something a little rough around the edges - that I tuned in this season. But you would be hard-pressed to spot the difference between it and the preceding two seasons. And I guess that's where Swan's professionalism is almost a hindrance. For better or worse, she ran an exceptionally tight ship. The three guests - Dave O'Neil, Julie Goodwin and Jason Akermanis - never got out of line and never ran over their allotted time. Aker never even looked like dropping the F-bomb. It was all as polite and punctual as an hour that had spent a week in the edit suite. And, to be honest, I was a tiny bit disappointed. What the live-ness did enable was the discussion of genuinely topical issues (on this occasion, drugs in sport). And I guess, knowing it was live, I had a greater appreciation of the quick wit of Swan and her guests. What I would really like to see, though, is a little loosening of the reins. To see interesting discussions run, and hang the format. To just feel a little more as though this is a show that on any given night might throw up something genuinely unexpected.
The Bold and the Beautiful, Channel Ten, 4.30pm
IT WILL come as no surprise to followers of this venerable daytime soap that today's episode marks the end of Stephanie Forrester's 25-year reign over the fashion dynasty, her last episode having screened in the US in November, just a few months after the departure of her son, Ridge (fellow original cast member Ronn Moss). In a suitably protracted dying scene, interrupted by black-and-white video tributes from friends and family, which, tragically, she will never get to see, Stephanie (Susan Flannery) makes peace with Brooke Logan (another original cast member, Catherine Kelly Lang), her nemesis turned confidant at the bitter end. Glamour is upheld to the last, despite unforgiving close-ups of mature, tear-streaked faces. There's no coming back from this stage left, except, of course, in the anticipated flashbacks of the coming weeks.
Python Hunters, Channel One, 7.30pm
DAVID Attenborough these guys are not. Less about exploring the fascinating world of nature and more about bumping big-boy egos in the bush, this extreme-adventure documentary series - inexplicably screening out of order - follows three snake freaks on their seasonal hunt for pest pythons in the Florida wetlands. What is described as a valiant mission to control the six-metre-long Burmese python, which preys on native species, transpires to be somewhat of a less noble act. Of the roughly 10,000 snakes reported to be terrorising the local ecosystem, the few successfully bagged by biologist Shawn Heflick, reptile breeder and police officer Greg Graziani and python breeder Michael Cole are sold to breeders for a tidy $US12,000 ($11,634), along with species mutations created by Cole in his backyard. Much is made of the dangerous territory into which these wildlife soldiers storm to fend off the ''invader'', the word repeatedly stamped across full-screen shots of the murderous-looking creature. It's a wonder there are any snakes left on the scene but python-wrestle they do, brandishing their prizes for brag-album photos. When not busy making a small dent in the Burmese python population, the trio hunts other pests introduced due to the Floridian exotic pet craze including, in this episode, a few elusive iguanas sunning under a motorway bridge. Competition between the hunters is fierce, the unexpected addition of Shawn's, son, Thorn, on his maiden snake hunt sparking a metaphorical pissing contest.
The Block All Stars, Channel Nine, 7pm
AFTER last week's unexpected wins and the usual jostling for position on host Scott Cam's chalky scoreboard, the cheerfully named ''Blockheads'' roll up their sleeves for one of the trickiest challenges in the game: the bathroom. Sporting the losers' yellow ''Chumpian'' jackets, Dan and Dani are determined to set their record straight, the fairer half of the duo declaring, ''I need to win a bathroom!'', to which her husband coos, ''I know you do''. Such dialogue is at least broken up with a comedy segment featuring Dan in a Rocky Balboa-style training montage. The drama unfolds in a fairly predictable fashion, with ''Two Fat Tradies'' Mark and Duncan cracking blokey jokes, and newlyweds Josh and Jenna bickering for the cameras, as they continue their impossible task of transforming a dump into a display home.
Raising Hope, Channel Eleven, 8pm
SINCE the child-man single-father storyline began to run out of juice with the engagement of Hope's hapless dad, Jimmy (Lucas Neff), to smartypants Sabrina (Shannon Woodward), the focus has swung to Maw Maw's (Cloris Leachman) eccentricities. When a social worker shows up for a 20-year-old complaint of child abuse arising from toddler Jimmy's crowd-surf at a Pink Floyd concert, questions of elder abuse arise as it becomes evident Burt (Garret Dillahunt) and Virginia (Martha Plimpton) have taken desperate measures to keep Maw Maw from wandering. The light side of dementia makes for many a farcical moment.

DALLAS (AP) -- Police have an armed capital murder suspect surrounded and negotiations are under way after the man grabbed a sheriff's deputy's gun a fled a Dallas hospital.
Dallas County sheriff's officials say Franklin B. Davis grabbed a deputy's service revolver and fled Parkland Memorial Hospital about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. He was found holed up in a car with the gun a short time later about a mile from the hospital, and video from the scene shows special-tactics officers surrounding the vehicle.
The 30-year-old Davis was awaiting trial in the death of Carrollton high school sophomore Shania Gray. Davis already had been charged with sexual assault when he allegedly took the 16-year-old Gray from her school. Her body was found Sept. 8, shot and strangled.

A 56-YEAR-OLD man and a 44-year-old woman have been asked for identification to prove their age at the village store they have both used for years.
Vic Anderson went buy cigarettes and a can of beer in the Mace shop in Bovington he has used for 20 years when he was told to prove his age despite being 56.
And Mary Wallace – who has lived in Bovington all her life, had to show her provisional driving licence to buy the pack of 20 menthol cigarettes she buys there every day.
Mr Anderson said: "I went over to get tobacco because it was my day off and I thought I'll have a beer as well and I was surprised to be asked for identification.
"It's not like I carry ID as I'm 56 and I know half the staff in the shop.
"I've lived in Bovington for 23 years and use the shop all the time as it's one of the only amenities here."
Mr Anderson said he pointed out members of staff that he knew and the manager was called over.
He said: "I had a queue of people behind me which was quite embarrassing."
"The manager came over in the end and nodded to the member of staff that it was OK."
Mary Wallace, 44, a care home worker, told how she was left angry at having to show her provisional driving licence.
She said: "I was disgusted going into my local Mace shop that I have used for years only to be asked for ID to buy cigarettes. It wouldn't be so bad but I'm 44 years old."
She said the shop worker was using a book to record the names and forms of identificaton used and she was told if they could not do that she would not be allowed her cigarettes.
"I've never seen or heard of anything so ridiculous.
"I've lived here my whole life and used that shop when it was a Naafi shop."
A spokesperson for the shop said: "We have a 'no ID, no sale' policy in place at our Mace store in Bovington to prevent under 18s from buying alcohol and tobacco, and adults from purchasing it on their behalf.
"This may be viewed as excessive by individuals who are clearly of legal age but we are committed to creating a safe and pleasant community and feel this approach is the most responsible and effective way of achieving it.
"Feedback on the initiative from the majority of our customers and residents has been positive."

From: John LaTorre <email@example.com>Subject: [Medieval Trivia] [MedEnc] Somewhat off-topic: two musical instruments for saleTo: email@example.com: email@example.com: Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 1:41 PM
Greetings to the list, and my apologies if you've already received this missive on other lists.I'm selling two rather out-of-the-way musical instruments I've made over the past few years. I'll be bringing both of these to the Estrella War, if you should want to inspect them first-hand. You can find me in the Period Demo Area, at a woodworking shop (where I'll be working on a rebec, among other things).1. The first Item is a hurdy-gurdy. It was made from plans provided by Musicmaker's Kits, but it's not one of their kits. I made it from "scratch" using all solid woods. (The only plywood used is in the rosettes and the wheel itself.) The soundboard is spruce, and the ribs, back, and neck/pegbox are walnut. The keys are made of maple. Because I was unhappy with their axle and wheel arrangement, I had an axle custom-machined to replace it. The instrument has new strings, and comes
with a case converted from a suitcase and reinforced to protect the instrument.I don't have pictures of it, but it's identical in general shape and layout to the one offered by Musicmaker's, which can be seen at:http://www.harpkit. com/Merchant2/ merchant. mvc?Screen= CTGY&Category_Code= hurdy 2. The second instrument is a 10-string cittern. It has steel strings (basically a twelve-string guitar with the lower E strings missing) and tuned one step below a standard twelve-string guitar (although other tunings are of course possible). The soundboard is spruce, braced like a lute and sporting a hand-carved rosette. What makes this instrument distinctive (and more expensive than it otherwise would be) is that each of the ten tuning pegs is actually a tuning machine,
allowing much surer tuning than friction pegs. It comes with a soft "gig bag."Pictures of this instruent may be found at:http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/Cynaguan- Bardic/photos/ album/201975528/ pic/list If for any reason you can't view these pictures, email me privately and I'll send the images to you.I'm asking $750 for each of them. Remember if you pick them up at Estrella, you'll be sparing yourself not only the shipping charges, but the possibility that the instrument may get damaged in shipment. If you've ever wanted to buy one of these instruments at a very reasonable price, here's your chance. If you have any questions, please ask me off-list.--Johann von Drachenfels(West Kingdom)John LaTorre <jlatorre@midtown.

HOUSTON - Police said a family of five will have to remodel their northeast Harris County home after a reckless driver lost control and hit their home early Monday morning.
The accident happened around 2:00 a.m. Monday morning at the intersection of Percy Road and Mohawk.
Deputies said the driver left the Lincoln Town Car lodged in the home and ran before emergency crews arrived.
"There was a loud noise and smoke," said homeowner Rita Canseco. "The car hit the barrier, ran through the gate and went into the living room. The kids were sleeping in their bedrooms, but it was scary for them."
The dad grabbed his 3- and 6-year-olds and ran outside, while Canseco says she was on the phone calling for help.
When deputies arrived, the suspect was gone. The suspect's car did not have license plates.
Deputies said they will search the car and take inventory of the items inside to link evidence to the suspected driver.
No one was hurt.

A CHIPPING Sodbury mother who collapsed on New Year's Day has spoken of her devastation after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.
But Claire Little, known as Barny to all her friends and family, is determined to think positively about a forthcoming operation to remove the orange-sized tumour.
"I am a positive person so I am going to get myself in a good zone and get as healthy and fit as I can before the operation," she said. "It is not a death sentence."
The 41-year-old community mental health nurse, who grew up in Chipping Sodbury but lived in Brighton and Spain before returning to her hometown several years ago, had no symptoms and no idea she was ill when she went to work on New Year's Eve.
"I went out that evening, as most people do, and the next day I was trying to talk but was not making sense," said Barny. "Everyone thought I was hungover but then I had a seizure."
An MRI scan showed the tumour on the left side of her brain.
Barny, a single mum to five-year-old Rosalia who had only bought a new house in December, was discharged five days later. She is not allowed to drive for a year and does not qualify for sick pay as she had not been in her job for a year. She is under constant supervision from her family who fear another seizure.
"Money has been a big worry. But I was more upset about losing my independence," she said. "I am trying to get on with normal things like cooking and putting my daughter to bed.
"Obviously I have my moments but most of the time I am saying these cells are in my body but a lot of people live with cancer.
"But it has been a big wake up call. I am told the tumour is down to my own genetics but I was doing about three people's work, always rushing off here and there, and this is my chance to replenish my energy."
Barny is expected to have an awake craniotomy at Frenchay Hospital later this month or in early March to remove as much of the tumour as possible without causing brain damage. Doctors have warned she made need chemotherapy as well.
"I haven't told my daughter everything but I will tell her I have to go into hospital and have an operation," she said. "It has been a bit of a rollercoaster and at first I was shell shocked but I can only be positive."
Friends and family are raising money to help pay her mortgage and expenses while she recovers from the operation. Barny's Fund already totals £2,400.
"It has been overwhelming, the love and support from people," she added. "I don't even know some of them. I was just finishing a dissertation on meditation and mindfulness with a view to becoming a self-employed teacher. As part of that I know that feeling connected to people is really good for producing cells to fight cancer."
Women are invited to a screening of Grease at the Armadillo youth cafe in Yate on Saturday, April 26 (3.30pm) in aid of Barny's Fund. To support the cause contact Barny's sister, Sophie Axford, on 07854 427394.

Guys and gals, as you can see by my username I am a PhpGuy trying to get to grips with Python.
I've had a play around with Python/Pygame/Tkinter and I am very impressed with what i've seen so far.
The scripts i've written i have placed into a library to keep for future use. Now I am trying to tackle classes/imports/modules etc.
So, the reason i'm here...
I have created a forms class (which forms a base - no pun intended ) and a personal details form to capture user details for adding to a database.
I have this 'myapp.py' script:
- Code: Select all
from Tkinter import Tk, mainloop
import sys
# Import the forms
from forms.personalDetailsClass import personalDetails
def buton_pressed(FORM_VALUES):
print FORM_VALUES
# The bones of the app..
def main():
root = Tk()
# Setup the class as a standalone window.
personal_details = personalDetails(root)
# Add the title to the main label.
personal_details.titletext.set('Add New Student')
# Run the mainloop.
# Run the software.
if __name__ == "__main__":
Here is the line from the personal details form class file:
- Code: Select all
self.submitbutton = Button(self.window, text='Add', command=buton_pressed)
Now here is where I'm stumped...
Inside the class, i am trying to send the data (when the button is pressed) to a function outside the class but it keeps throwing an error telling me the buton_pressed function is not defined. Why?
In Php, if i imported (include/require) a file, anything below the import line could use the imported file, anything above the line, the imported file could use.
Why is my script throwing errors at me? how do imports work in Python?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
If i place the function inside the same file as the class, all works fine.
If i place the class in my main file, it works.
Just can't seem to get it to work when they are separated

Application Without Moralism
How to show the relevance of the text
Average Rating: [see ratings/reviews]
We're facing huge questions about why people are not applying what we tell them. Gallup did a survey that tells us when people claim to be born again, their good behavior actually degenerates. Those who claim to be born again have a higher incidence of drunken driving and divorce than the rest of culture. The incidence of abortion and drug use is not different from the rest of culture among those who claim to be evangelical. So people who say they believe the Scriptures have great difficulties, apparently, applying them.
We need to do application for the sake of our own credibility
One reason we need to be doing application in preaching is for our own personal ethos. You know these terms: ethos, logos, pathos. Ethos is the perceived character of the speaker. Logos is the logical content, the verbal content. And pathos is the emotive content. What would Aristotle say was the most powerful of these three? Ethos. If somebody speaks simply but you believe them to be a person of good character, you listen to them more than to somebody who is eloquent but whom you don't trust. Ethos is more powerful.
The two things that most make up ethos are credibility and compassion. People rate us in terms of our ethos based upon their perception of our credibility and compassion.
Credibility is determined by knowledge and realism. We expect pastors to know facts, but we also expect wisdom and realism. If I as a preacher say, " If you're going to be able to walk with God, you need to learn some Hebrew, " I might as well have thrown the sermon out the window, because the average person thinks that would be nice, but it's unrealistic. So we may be intelligent, but we need to base ethos upon knowledge as well as realism. Much of what happens in application is saying, " I'm not just knowledgeable about exegesis. I know the world you live in. I am able to be realistic. "
Ethos is not just based upon credibility but also compassion. The perceived character of the speaker is based upon a perception of altruism, that you care for people other than yourself. If the perception of the person preaching is, He wants to make an impression, rather than, He's caring for the people to whom he speaks, people will listen. Often they will listen in droves. But they will not trust him. They will find it entertaining, but they will not trust him until they perceive that he cares more about the listener than himself.
What communicates that? What says, " You care about me; you take it out of the ethereal world that makes you impressive, and you put it in my world, where I can do something with it " ? Ethos is tied to the ability to do application, first of all, that is realistic, and second, that is courageous.

Excellennt article but i would love to be able to print out the whole article. Please make is so that it is printable.Thanks
Excellent discussion. It is rare, in my experience, for those preaching to actually invite application. Excellent exposition, sometimes wisely chosen illustration, but to bring it into today, into current experience towards discipleship? Rare. Leaves me to wonder whether the preacher is really involved (beyond commentary study) with the Word, and/or whether he is afraid to "bring it home"?

Bigjaydogg3 - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkI'm hoping someone like Pioneer or Alpine is going to utilize this as well. Its a great idea, but I've not been impressed by factory sound systems in the past. Reply
randomlinh - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkI hope this is mostly just an I/O interface from the OEMs. It would not be fun to be locked into one system of integration as it seemingly is now. This goes for any in car stuff, not just Apple. Reply
phreaqe - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkThis had better not be locking us into only getting good compatibility with apple products. I will refuse to buy a car if that is the case. I am an iphone user and even still i dont want them to only work with apple products. No good can come from this. If this is just a "module" so to speak that works if you have an ios product, but still allows you to use other devices, then i am all for it. Reply
A5 - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkIt is obviously what it is. If you aren't using an iPhone, you'll just get the stock OEM interface instead of the Apple one. Reply
Braumin - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkI know there seems to be a big push for this stuff in the car, but it's just so full of issues...
1. Touchscreens in cars are terrible
2. Having to hook your phone up with a cable is archaic
3. If this is locked to iPhones then it's going to be a huge problem for many many people
Obviously got to wait and see what the end product actually is, but I'm personally full of trepidation with what this could be. Reply
slayernine - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkI really hope that this allows for other phones to be connected. This could be a huge dissapointment if it requires you to own an Apple device. Also why would be connect a phone with a cable when bluetooth works so well. Reply
A5 - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkBluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth to transmit video. Right now this looks like it is mirroring the display of an app on the phone. Reply
Braumin - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkPretty sure WiFi could do this. That would be better than Thunderbolt. Reply
kalgriffen01 - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkThe only issue I see with using wifi or bluetooth would be spectrum congestion if many cars in the same location are running it. Reply
tuxRoller - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkThe signal strength of a phone hotspot is pretty tiny. Reply
tuxRoller - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkBluetooth 3.0 HS with hardware accelerated encoding. Reply
gss4w - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkA cable lets you charge your phone instead of running down its battery. Reply
tuxRoller - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkWireless charging. Qi is, more or less, the standard now. Reply
davidcTecher - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkGiven that carplay requires a lightning connection, it's almost certain that this year's iPhone won't include wireless charging. Wireless charging could be nice but wouldn't be enough for me to leave the iOS ecosystem. Reply
tim851 - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkAgreed. Touchscreens in cars are bad. No tactile feedback means you have to take your eyes off the road for far too long. Reply
Braumin - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkYes my experiences with touchscreens in a car is exactly that. All of the buttons can (and do) move about depending on what screen you are on, so you have to concentrate on the screen to accomplish anything, as opposed to tactile buttons where you can learn over time to operate them without looking at them.
It's a huge issue. I know why car makers are going down this road (looks great in the showroom) but not sure of the long term implications of this when we're already in such a distracted driving society already. Reply
Malih - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkIt's weird how some people are concerned about being locked in.
I imagine if I can actually afford a Ferrari, I wouldn't hesitate to get an iPhone if I don't already have one, just to enhance my driving experience. Reply
Braumin - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkWould you think the same thing if you owned a Volvo? What if you own a Ferrari and you don't want an iPhone? Obviously the Ferrari is a special case, but pretty much all of the rest of the car makers are just owned by average people. Reply
maecenas - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkWow, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Chevy, Nissan and Toyota - that's a lot of high volume players. If they can get buy-in from VW, they'll cover most of the market with this. Reply
iwod - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkmissing VW, which is surprising. Reply
steven75 - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkDoesn't seem like there's any lock in--This is the same as the iPod connectors. You don't have to use it and your unit will continue to work.
I may delay any future car purchase until this is available via my car manufacturer of choice. There's nothing comparable to the integration of an OEM head unit plus safety from thieves since they are really only interested in aftermarket units. Reply
errorr - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkIt really depends on the communication. The iPod integration in car stereos was proprietary and given Apple and its penchant for exclusivity I would be surprised if it isn't apple only.
On the other hand it might be possible to have the car makers integrate apple and open standards and just change out the connectors. Reply
PhatRS - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkI really like the sound of this feature, but until it becomes more widely available I'll continue using "Harken For iPhone" in the car. It's much easier to use than Apple's music player (bigger text, large buttons/touch areas). There's also "Harken" on the iPad but I need a new cradle for my iPad so I can't use it at the moment. Reply
wymynyfus - Monday, March 03, 2014 - link"Apple's new CarPlay system will ensure drivers' "eyes and hands stay where they belong," -- Meanwhile, Google's self-driving car will allow users to put their hands and eyes wherever they want.
Bottom line - this thing will be great for safety. Word is http://4autoinsurancequote.com will be giving big insurance discounts to people who have the CarPlay installed in their vehicles Reply
ThreeDee912 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkSpam...? Reply
tuxRoller - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkI don't know how you can talk about this area and not mention genivi. That is the platform that, I think, you want.
The issue with carplay is that it looks to be an iOS only solution. What you want is a platform that can handles the standards and apple. So, for genivi, there would be some "native" apps (depending on the OEM this could be truly native or html5) and an interface to handle external devices. For android/windows that would include miracast, probably, and apple's might be airplay. For wired connections it should be even easier. Reply
fteoath64 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkYes, Genivi is for Open Solutions namely Android phones and/or any phone with Wifi and micoUSB plugs. But Apple is propreitary hence, CarPlay being Apple's simplistic implementation. There is no reason why an open Carplay like app can not be developed on any platform and handle the mirror-screen/mirror function controls. All such a system require is a USB2 port so owners can plug in their own cables for charging if they wish. It will use wifi solely to work the integration. This leaves the phone to also allow for being a HotSpot for the car to other occupants via wifi as well. Reply
tuxRoller - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkIt's got nothing to do with android. Google created their own consortium to push android into cars. Genivi is lower level than that though it does push for HTML 5 solutions through their web APIs that access car functionality.
The advantage of something like genivi is that you can run pretty much whatever you want in userspace but have a nice, standard set of libraries you can count on.
As you say mirroring is pretty easy this why I don't see the point of carplay. It seems one could just implement airplay (it's an open spec isn't it?) and call it a day. Reply
michael2k - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkIt sounds like Genivi is to Android as Apple is to Apple.
In other words, it will still require something like CarPlay to succeed before the Genivi members have the necessary inspiration to create something like it on top of Genivi. Reply
tuxRoller - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkGenivi has pretty much nothing to do with android. The spec is broader than that. Moreover, it's a composed of s bunch of companies and acts similarly to linaro except in the ivi space.
That's a list of their projects and you can see that the way they want to do business is by upstreaming first.
What they provide is a base (through the baselines specs) along with various ways OEMS can provide an experience. The result should be very android like in that every car maker will develop its own skin except it won't be running android (though it certainly could through lxc). Reply
michael2k - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkThat's what I just said. By providing a baseline for the OEMs it is like Android, but the OEMs still don't know what they are doing because none of them are smartphone makers first and foremost, nor software developers, nor usability experts.
So, like Android, Apple will develop something that others will see and say, "Oh, I want that too." Reply
tuxRoller - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkAh, I misunderstood the analogy, in particular the Apple to Apple part.
So, yeah, I think you've a point though it is being addressed since car OEMS are involved as well.
IMHO, it would make the most sense to include some of the Google Web apps since I don't think that requires a license. Eventually they could introduce their own variants based on open street map. For music they're lots of options. Reply
Wizec - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkAnand is usually so deep with his great articles. I was a little surprised that he didn't mention that CarPlay is just an Apple UI run on top of BlackBerry's QNX OS. The same OS that runs BB10 phones.
The secret to Apple's new CarPlay? BlackBerry
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/03/04/appl... Reply
solipsism - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkThat's because it wouldn't be accurate. Apple worked with QNX so that automakers that use QNX will be able to show Apple's UI being streamed from the iPhone on their display, but it doesn't require QNX to work. It's essentially a passthrough with the car not holding any of the CarPlay UI and the iPhone doing all the processing when CarPlay is enabled. Reply
