Brady Hoke on a 10-victory season, beating Ohio State, bowl games and more
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
The regular season is over, and there still is plenty to discuss when it comes to Michigan football.
Brady Hoke will meet the media today, two days after the Wolverines ended a seven-season losing skid against Ohio State with a 40-34 victory at Michigan Stadium. He won 10 games in his first season as Michigan's coach, he has a new rival in Urban Meyer at Ohio State, his team is in position for an interesting bowl game and more.
We'll provide updates in this file throughout the press conference.
Brady Hoke has left the building. Below are highlights from his weekly press conference with player comments below those, starting with Mike Martin, then David Molk:
Brady Hoke: On Saturday night, "I was recruiting down at the Chop House ... with recruits."
Brady Hoke: On his conversation with Luke Fickell after the game. "I just thought he did a heck of a job all season. Tough situation."
Brady Hoke: On how the offense has changed at different points in the season. "Everyone defends you a little differently."
Brady Hoke: Said Brendan Gibbons' 43-yard field goal at the end of the game was huge. "He's grown and he's learned."
Brady Hoke: On if he gets satisfaction from being mentioned as candidate for Big Ten coach of the year, "Any type of awards that are given whether its the Heisman Trophy or best taper taping ankles ... it is never one person or one guy, it's everybody involved in the program."
Brady Hoke: On Robinson's pass to Drew Dileo. "I don't know. I thought it was number one Drew made a tremendous (catch)."
Brady Hoke: On having younger guys paired with older teammates as mentors. "When you force it, it doesn't work, so it kind of has to emerge on its own."
Brady Hoke: Said he expects Brennen Beyer to be ready for the bowl.
Brady Hoke: On handling bowl practices. "When we start will dictate what day you play what day you leave. ... As a group, we'll work fundamentals and technique when we get back on the field."
Brady Hoke: On his players straddling the line between cocky and confident. "What's the term today, 'swag'? I don't even know what that means. You have to be confident in your abilities."
Brady Hoke: On whether program has taken a large step forward this season, "We'll find out. ... The one thing I can tell you is the biggest disappoint is that we didn't win a conference championship, and that's an expectation here."
Brady Hoke: On BCS, whether he's figured out what he wants to happen in various conference championship games to give his team the best chance at a BCS bid. "I don't have that kind of time."
Brady Hoke: On how the bit of downtime will be spent. Said much time will be dedicated to recruiting. "That's the lifeblood of your program. We had (recruits) in on officials (visits) this weekend, and will continue to work in that regard."
Brady Hoke: On Urban Meyer coaching Ohio State. "Neither of us are going to play a down."
Brady Hoke: On being congratulated after win. "There are text messages that I haven't even read yet, to be honest. It's great to be congratulated, but we're not done yet." Mentioned team fell short of its goal of being able to play for conference championship and there are still "improvements to be made."
Brady Hoke: "I think (Denard Robinson) grown and matured as a Michigan quarterback."
Brady Hoke: "It's great to play well enough to win. ... I think our guys responded well, as a team I've said it before they really complement each other."
David Molk: "There's a lot of good things that happened this year, but at the same time there room for improvement that will be achieved in the years to come."
David Molk: On evaluating his own play. "In judging myself, I think I did well, but it's never good enough."
David Molk: On whether Brady Hoke should be Big Ten coach of the year. "He deserves it. I love him. He's a a great coach. ... He's every single thing you want a college coach to be, and he does it flawlessly."
David Molk: "Going into this season I didn't know what to expect. ... I didn't know where it would go it could have gone in two directions. ... It played out well."
David Molk: "I expect great thing to come of this program."
David Molk: On the Ohio State rivalry. "It's a game that whoever plays in it you never forget it."
David Molk: "This is a growing offense, and this is something that's going to grow for years to come."
Mike Martin: On fans rushing the field. "I kind of expected it to be a little crazy. ... That was cool, and it was a lot of fun to do after."
Mike Martin: "Coach Hoke kept talking about playing hard (in the Ohio State game) for the seniors. ... It was special to win in Ann Arbor."
Mike Martin: "I think about the journey that these guys especially my class has been through. We've been through the mud and back. ... We lost some guys along the way, for whatever reason. That's why I love the phrase, from Coach Schembechler, 'Those who stay will be champions.'"
Mike Martin: Said he hopes the defense can improve on its pass rush heading into the bowl game.
Mike Martin: "(Ohio State) did a little more play action than what we thought they were going to do."
Mike Martin: Said he thinks Quinton Washington and Will Campbell are capable replacements on the defensive line for the graduating seniors. "I have full faith that those guys will fulfill the expectations (of the defensive line)."
Mike Martin: On ending career on a high note after three tough years. "It's special. I have no regrets, my three years up to this point have really made me better as a person and as a player."
Mike Martin: Said he will not cut his hair before the bowl game, which is in full afro mode.
Mike Martin: On his interest in the games this weekend having an effect on Michigan's bowl prospects, "Wherever we end up is where we end up, and we'll be happy about it."

Ohio still hasn't learned their lesson. They believe if you toss around enough money (like the 6 million a year they gave Coach Meyer), this will be enough to fix every problem. The totally ugly Darth Vader hit em below-the-belt mentality displayed by that University makes it difficult for my delicate Michigan eyes to watch. The arrogance shown by Ohio school leadership totally disgusts me. Gee and his athletic department manager should have been fired when Tressel left. I sincerely hope Urban's new team gets its pants kicked while scheming behind the end zone goal posts.

Actually, more striking evidence that tosu has not learned its lesson is the fact the Fickel allowed the vest ti address his team last week. If tosu "got it" the vest wouldn't be allowed on campus, mush less allowed to have contact with the football team. Good Night and Good Luck

Ok, I have to admit, Brady Hoke was a good hire for the UM. He has brought a much needed toughness back to a team that was very soft under Richrod. What I don't understand is Brandon's feminization of the UM program and nobody in the fan base caring. It's time to man up Michigan. 1) Get rid of the yellow t-shirts. Nobody looks manly in yellow, Could you imagine Hoke and Mattison taking the field in size xxx yellow sweatshirts? The blue was classic. The fan base says"Go Blue", not go yellow 2) What's up with the "Sweet Caroline", that is about as embarassing a song to play at your stadium as I can think of. Grown men in yellow t-shirts with their arm around each other swaying to the tune of "Sweet Caroline"? And while you are at it get rid of the cliche, "Don't stop believing". Very lame. You are an embarassment to the rest of the B10. Grown men singing along to this song. Wake up Brandon, Michigan has some very cool rockers, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock........... Could you imagine 115,00 fans jumping to "JumP Around" like they do at Wisconsin? Now that would be cool. How about the Motor City Madman's "Cat Scratch Fever" or Kid Rock's "Balls in your Mouth"? 3) Brandon, get rid of the bangs, dude. You look like some accident from the 80's. Get a buzz cut or something.
Tue, Nov 29, 2011 : 2:12 a.m.
And the relentless playing of 'Hang on sloopy' isn't embarassing? You know...1960's bubble gum music? Glittery silver and bright red isn't...well, I'll just say..feminine? Please, 250...look in the mirror.
Tue, Nov 29, 2011 : 12:41 a.m.
Could not agree with you more about this piped in music. Sweet Caroline? Penn State plays that song and Michigan doing it is copy-cat stuff. The band plays it--that's fine, but piping it in? How about NO piping in music and letting the band entertain the crowd!! That works great, especially with the change this year of "microphoning" the band.

Cutty240. Hmmm, I WAS impressed by the ohio passing attack, but I also realize that ohio went to 'max protect', to hold off the UM rush. Conversely, I was pleased with the way the UM defense totally stuffed, the vaunted ohio running game. So, what did Herron end up with bud, 37 yards?! Supposedly, this was a collection of 4 and 5 star linemen. Yet I observed them underperforming, for a coaching staff, that did not change when Tressel was canned. On the other side of the coin, the unheralded, UM offensive line, gave Robinson all day, to make passes, AND, still carved up the ohio defensive front, on the ground! Face it, BOTH, Fitz Toussaint and Denard Robinson, ran the ball down your throat. This was the turning point in the game, in the second half, as the bucks were shut out in the third quarter, and managed only 10 points in the half, ....just sayin'. I thought that 'the drive', with 7 minutes left in the game, was a masterpiece!. Bo would have been proud, as UM ran off 5 minutes, and scored a touchdown, not once, but twice, before the officials, stepped in, to preserve the buckeye chances. You and I, BOTH know, that Fitz, WAS IN! I hear now, that Urbie, may be coming in, down there. Fine, bring him on. We already have the defensive co-ordinator, from his NC teams. Meanwhile, I hope the NCAA sanctions crush the program, and eliminate bowl appearances for the 2012 and 2013, teams. Finally, I sat across from the ohio band, and in the second half, we could NOT hear them at all, as the UM crowd, totally rocked the BIG HOUSE! You just don't have enough tubas. Add about 20 more, will ya? Love it!

"Finally, I sat across from the ohio band, and in the second half, we could NOT hear them at all, as the UM crowd, totally rocked the BIG HOUSE! You just don't have enough tubas. Add about 20 more, will ya? Love it!" ROFL. Our seats must be within spittin' distance. And agree--the tosu band could not be heard for the entire second half. The crowd did a GREAT job. GN&GL

The turn around we have seen is rooted in Brady Hoke applying what he learned from Bo. The legacy is the foundation. In this account, I believe Brady should be already thinking about raising his successors accordingly, not just win season by season but by building the program for the future.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 7:43 p.m.
Hey Cutty240, are you related to Rightmind250? Is there a 260 out there somewhere? I guess my comments have done a 360!

As many on here know, while I would not have hired RR, four years ago, I supported him while he was here, as the UM coach. (I think that is critical, even if you do not necessarily agree with a coach's philosophy.) People who attacked and undermined RR, while here, are not really UM fans. When Hoke came in, I understood the logic, but questioned his ability to handle the job. (recall he had a losing record coming in.) Nevertheless, I supported Hoke as the UM coach, once here. Eleven games in, he has shown me, he IS the right coach for my alma mater. This team, with one game remaining, has been a success. The job that Hoke has done, (and his assistants), is remarkable. But what I like the most, about Hoke, is that he refuses to pat himself on the back, and he refuses to say that the players 'have arrived'. Yes, he IS positive, but he will always find room for improvment. He does NOT throw a kid, or a coach, 'under the bus', to save his own neck, when that individaul fails on a given play. He stresses team unity and respect for one another. He is constantly demanding higher and higher levels of accomplishment, and improvement. I like this guy because he puts team, before self. Bo would been VERY proud of Hoke, the coaches, and the players, saturday...but he would also have had some jabs, for Hoke, probably over a cigar, somewhere. I've noticed how he responds to questions, and how he handles the kids, on the field, in the 'pressure of the game'. He is always postive, while still 'coaching them up'. UM fans, our program is in good hands, not because Brandon wants us to believe that, but because we have witnessed it 'first hand', in good times, and bad. Contrast this, with the shoddy way, that osu has treated Luke Fickel, and the 'circus' surrounding Urban Meyer. The buckeye program has been exposed for the shameful corruption, of Jim Tressel, and the misplaced priorities and lack of integrity, from the very top of the university, to the players themselves.

"People who attacked and undermined RR, while here, are not really UM fans." LS, You really need to get off this kick. I submit to you that smart fans understood exactly where he was taking the team, on and off the field, and it was not to a good place. I submit to you, then, that it was possible to be a fan of the team and want the former coach gone. At the end of the day, you have no business deciding who and who are not Mihcigan fan, just as you have no business attributing their opposition to him to some weird imagined motive on your part (e.g., he was "blue collar". Last time I checked, so were Bo, Mo, Lloyd, and Brady). Do yourself and the rest of us a favor and drop it. We've had a 10-2 season and beat OSU, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. Let's enjoy it, eh? Good Night and Good Luck
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 8:09 p.m.
LS: One thing I'm curious about with you: If you are loyal to your institution, and think that the institution made a bad or horrible choice, how does that make you not really a "UM" fan to point out what a bad choice the person is/was? The institution actually trumps the individual in my opinion, and I think smearing those who are and were critical of the coach or any individual running the place is not quite right. I care more about the health of the University of Michigan, and in my opinion, the choice for coach was a horrible decision, and everything he did proved that to me. I never wavered in my support for UM or its players or team, but also never wavered in my belief that the longer the former coach was retained, the worst it would be for the institution (both UM and football). You and I have much different beliefs on this, but I think we are both UM fans and loyal alumna. I think the Ohio situation is interesting--a high profile fast talking coach with a lot of me-first attitude, coming in to save a program. Sounds familiar? Will it have similar outcome? At least Meyer is a proven winner, unlike our old coach, but I would not go there if I was Ohio.

MRunner73. I think you are right on. In the end, RR was just not going to succeed here. So I hope that RR does very well at Arizona....he is after all, still a Michigan man. It'll be interesting to see if Zook resurfaces. I think Zook can recruit, but I'm not sure he can relate to the kids. I had thought that ohio would rehire Tressel, after the NCAA sanctions were handed out, and Fickel would just assume his former spot. Meyer may well turn out to be a disapointment down there. If so, he'll discover that there IS a LOT of pressure in Columbus. Those people are 'nuts', and I don't mean, buckeye nuts.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 7:43 p.m.
I was a very strong Rich Rod supporter until half time in the Gator Bowl. I realized the worst was not over. Rich Rod said that after the 37-7 loss to ohio last year but it was as bad on New Year's Day, 2011. I supported Rich Rod because of the players, who gave it 100% for the Head Coach. It is my understanding that immediately after the Gator Bowl, even some of Rich Rod's players were having second thoughts. One last point, I feel Rich Rod would have went the way of former HC Ron Zook at IL, who went 18-38 in the Big 10 in 7 years. Your assesement of the Luke Fickell situation is spot on. It is great to be a Michigan fan.

We did it , we beat Ohio , I have to change my name to 58-44-6 Next year 2 wins against Ohio The GOAT
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 6:16 p.m.
I'm tired of hearing about YOUR Defense,its Terrible.You couldn't stop Notre Dame,Michigan St. Iowa,and Ohio State The Worest Offense Team in Ohio States History.But you one 2 out of the 4 Because Rich got Denard Robibison there.Like the Previous poster said,Rich had it set to win,Rich might have run the table,with your Cup Cake Teams you play and 8 home games.You saw what The Coaches thought of your win over Ohio State in the poll,NO MOVEMENT AT ALL.I'm sure you saw the BCS Rankings too.At large Bid. Yea Right.Enjoy it while you can,because you will never win 10 games again. Not as long as Hoke is your Coach.Urban Meyer is at Ohio State.I don't care if you like him or not,but he is Better than Sweather Vest ever thought about being.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 10:31 p.m.
"Rich had it set to win,Rich might have run the table,with your Cup Cake Teams you play and 8 home games." Not with the way Rich Rod played (or more precisely DIDN'T PLAY) defense.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 10:29 p.m.
Urban Meyer dominating the Big 10 is no guarantee. First of all, Ohio will be on probation from tattoo gate and have reduced scholarships as well as a bowl ban. Secondly, Urban will not be able to engage in SEC practice of grey shirting, since the Big 10 doesn't allow it.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 9:47 p.m.
If he doesn't cheat then yes he is better than the Vest, but make no mistake about it, Tressel was a good coach despite his cheating, I'll bet you any amount of money he won't have as good a record as Tressel did in his 10 cheating filled years. Besides, Urban had some questionable things going on in Gainsville and that ain't no legend either.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 8:53 p.m.
At-large bid...count on it. Try proofreading next time please. That was painful to read.
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 7:46 p.m.
You sound a little frustrated, maybe you're feeling a little BLUE after Saturday, after watching Ohio lose on a defensive stand like that. And who expected Michigan to get a bump in the polls from beating what was a 6-5, now .500, Ohio team with a recent loss to Purdue? Urban Meyer gets one shot at Michigan a year, maybe two if both programs are doing well enough to meet in the Big Ten championship game. His reach goes only so far. Enjoy the Little Caesars Bowl, though, and hang in there! 362 days and counting. : )
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 7:21 p.m.
gee must be a ous fan. as they say do not look in the past. do not look into the future. if you look now it is michigan 1 osu 0. take that to the cleaners.

I've been very critical of the firing of Rich Rodriguez, and honestly, I do believe he would have turned this program around like Hoke has. However, I'm very happy to see Brady Hoke as the head coach and I believe that he will be a force to be reckon with for many years at Michigan. It is undeniable that Michigan's defense had a resurgent year and I give a lot of that credit to the coaching staff brought in. Michigan is back. It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

I agree with you MRunner. What makes you think rich rod would do any better the next year. His offense may have been ok, shut down by decent to good defenses though. And his defense got worse and worse thru his tenure. Showed no signs of any type of improvement between the butt stomping handed out by tsio and then the disguistigness that was the bowl game. Offense sells tickets but you need defense and the past three years they couldn't even tackle fundamentally. All I can say is thank you spaghetti monster in the sky for Brady Hoke
Mon, Nov 28, 2011 : 7:48 p.m.
Former IL Head Coach Ron Zook is a good example of what Rich Rod would have done in the conference after 7 years (if RR was given 4 more years), an 18 and 38 record. Zook had a few great moments but could never sustain them. That's my humble opinion of the subject. At least we both agree, Hoke is the man for Michigan and the future is bright.

"WeSki", Cross Country (XC) skiing enjoyment for families and individuals
TRAVERSE CITY, MI – In an effort to promote and support XC skiing in the Grand Traverse area and encourage community health, the Vasa Ski Club, Vasa Board and Timber Ridge Resort have combined efforts to offer skiing events in January.
WeSki is scheduled for three Thursdays in January (6, 13, 20) at Timber Ridge Resort from 6-7:30 pm. The objective of this three night event is to focus on families and individuals having fun, enjoying a healthy evening together and receiving age and skill appropriate instruction in XC skiing. Instruction will be available to all ability levels and ages. Age groups will include pre-school to kindergarten, 1-5 grades, teen and adult.
Vasa ski club members will provide instruction and general help for the WeSki program. "We have made extensive plans to expand our outreach to our community with the intent to promote XC skiing to more levels and ages of skiers. This will be a fantastic opportunity to give back to our skiing community and especially to our next generation", says Todd Vigland, board member of the newly energized ski club.
Cross country skiing originated as a Scandinavian sport and is now very popular in Europe, Canada and northern states across the U.S. Traverse City is one of the five major geo-centers of the sport in the US and we are blessed with a premiere trail system, The Vasa trails. We also have state of the art grooming provided by TART Trails as well as Timber Ridge Resort.
Efficient technique is essential to the overall enjoyment of the sport. "The program will begin to fill in the gaps for people who wish not only to learn to ski and/or improve their technique, but afford an economical means to enjoy each other's company and enhance a healthy lifestyle" says Linda Deneen, retired TC school counselor and Vasa board member.
Ski equipment rentals are available at Brick Wheels Bicycle and Ski Shop 231.947.4274 and at Timber Ridge Resort and Campground 231.947.2770. Supply is limited! It is suggested that arrangements be made in advance to ensure proper fit and availability.
How to register: Registration forms can be downloaded from http://www.vasa.org/images/WeSkiRegFlyer2011.pdf or picked up at Brick Wheels and Timber Ridge. Advanced registration is required! Registration is limited to the first 90 participants.
Registration Includes: Trail fee, snack before lessons, meal after lessons, participation in all three sessions, age/ability instruction.

I understand that homescreen redraws will happen from time to time, but this is out of hand. The problem is, I get a redraw evertime I do anything with my phone - sometimes taking as long as 45 seconds for my phone to be responsive. If I spend a few seconds in my phone settings and hit the home button - Redraw. If I send a text message via Handcent - Redraw. Heaven forbid I use an app like Facebook or Twitter or browse the web. I've tried locking home in memory via Elite Settings as well a within the LP settings and the problem still persists. I've tried checking the option for "High Priority Launcher" within Elite Settings and still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Would doing anything with VM heap size, compcache, or purging of assets help? I ask because I've always left that along and kept it at default. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

My linguistics professor once called me "a formidable combination of Dorothy Parker's wit and Marilyn Monroe's charms," but even at nineteen I wasn't the sort of girl to be held helpless by a flattering fiction. Certainly, that we three girls each know our separate ways around a martini is a fact no one would bother to contest, but from where I stand that's pretty much the alpha and omega of our commonalities. My 97 pounds of "charm" are hardly "Marilynesque," and although I have more than a little respect for her I contend that there's at least one point where Dorothy Parker got it all wrong. "Guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" - bullshit. It's been my general experience that most guys'll make passes at most anything. Unfortunately, it's also been my general experience that although the false flattery of scumbags may be easy to spot, two or three martinis make it all the easier to overlook - which, come to think of it, is a second trait we three share.

Wow! Nice job! As if a bride needs one more thing to do on her big day, lol :)
This is so beautiful. Congrats on making your own cake.
Yes I agree with above post…. Like you didn't have enough on your plate!! I commend you!
I never had a wedding cake. It is our 35th this year, so even if we don't have a big celebration, gonna make something to commemorate the occasion!
Your cake is very, very lovely. Delicate & pretty. :0)
Thank you. I left it until the last two weeks to make, but I knew that I wouldn't be happy if somebody else made it, as I wouldn't be able to explain what I wanted. It was only my second ever wedding cake and I was really pleased with how it came out.
This is stunning!
How beautiful! The blue is SOOO pretty! You did great and I'm sure all your guests were thoroughly impressed!
It's awesome!

It is important to go to the gym having a program and knowing what you are going to be doing. Doing random exercises for an hour and hoping you will gain lots of muscle and loose fat won't get you very far! If you have questions about what this would look like, message me.

Warming up is very important before working out. The best warm up is a warm up that is specific to the exercises you will be doing. Jogging before lifting is not a beneficial warm up.

AppLift's Frontend Philosophy
Here at AppLift we have multiple internal tools for managing our ad campaigns. Our methods don't deviate much from well-known practices, we prefer small autonomous components with explicit interface and we try to re-use as much code as possible. This post will be about these and other ideas that worked well for us.
Our projects are typically split into two parts: the backend and the frontend.
- The backend consists of a bunch of services providing only restful API
- The frontend exists independently and utilises the API of the services
- Any update to either one doesn't affect another as long as the API interface stays the same
The benefits:
- Identifying the source of a problem becomes faster.
- Based on the source of the problem it becomes easier to find the right developer who can fix it in the shortest time possible.
- New developers need less time to start working on new features, because the goal on each end is clear: either to provide or consume API.
- Maintaining parts of code with no intersecting dependencies is easier and more obvious: when you replace a package on backend, you can expect that frontend will not fail.
- Splitting estimations of features into frontend and backend improved accuracy of those estimations.
The way we achieved these benefits can be generalised as the following:
Key Principles Of Code Separation
- The code should be split into loosely coupled parts that talk to each other through an explicit uniform interface.
- Determining independent code parts should be intuitive. It should be possible to easily pinpoint location of a code part by looking at the working product.
- Each part of code should have clearly defined dependencies so that other code parts won't have to depend on something they don't use directly.
The frontend is a completely different thing. We can't show JSON to users, we can't connect frontend components using REST specs and how do we split frontend into components in the first place? This is one way to do it, step by step:
Dividing By Page
We'll use AppLift's website as a simple example. In reality it does not consist of any components that this post aims to define because the website is very simple, but we'll work with it as if there were ambitious plans on extending it.
|Services @ applift.com
|Blog @ applift.com
Among others, there are Products, Services, Technology and Blog sections on the website and it would make total sense if there were components in directories with similar names. Intuitiveness is very important for maintainability.
So first iteration of components would look something like this:
Where DataLift and Publisher Network components are nested under Products to resemble hierarchy of the website's navigation - to make it more intuitive.
It's pretty clear how these components will work: we go to /blog URL and we see Blog component along with its HTML and JavaScript magic. We go to /products/datalift URL and we see DataLift component nested within Products component. All JavaScript, HTML and CSS code can be completely isolated within respective components and their directories and the components don't have to talk with each other for now.
But doing just that will produce a lot of code duplication. Reducing duplicated code helps maintainability a lot.
Extracting Invisible Components
One of the things Technology, Blog and other components of the AppLift website have in common is they all have URL configuration. And each such configuration can have a lot of duplicated code so it's wise to extract that code into one single place and allow accessing it in the safest and simplest way possible. Typically the code that helps configuring URLs is called URL Router.
The URL router must be a component because it's bad to have something outside of the project's pattern. Everything should be a component. This one just won't have the visual part - no HTML and CSS.
All existing components need to configure URLs except for the parent Products component: there's no dedicated/products URL on AppLift website. Hence all components but Products depend on URL Router component.
The need for some sort of registry of components and their dependencies is apparent. Here's how the directory structure and the registry can look like by now:
|Folder structure
Based on the graphs, it is assumed that DataLift, Services etc components all have access to URL router's functionality but Products component does not. Hence there's a need of some scoping mechanism, a good implementation of which is the dependency injection pattern. Some components put stuff into dependency injection registry and the dependent component gets that stuff from that registry. If the stuff isn't there, it's easily traceable and fixable.
This way it's possible reduce duplication of the JavaScript code, but HTML duplication still remains. The next thing to do is:
Dividing A Page
We will take AppLift's Blog page/component as an example.
One way to slice it into loosely-coupled blocks is do it like this:
With that done the structure will look like this:
|Folder structure
Imagine there's something wrong with the latest post on the Blog section of the website. Based on the folder structure and dependency diagram it's pretty easy to narrow the search to just Post excerpt component.
The reason this is much easier, is because all components are supposed to be isolated in themselves and outside world can talk to them only through some sort of uniform interface, which should be as explicit and as common as REST.
HTML is as common as it gets. Components like checkbox, form or text area are all perfect examples of how HTML can be used to talk to encapsulated parts of website.
HTML supports hierarchy of elements, so it's intuitive to expect similar tag hierarchy as in folders and dependencies. Also HTML attributes can be used to pass additional configuration to components. Based on this the AppLift website's HTML can be as follows:
Here Blog component uses or depends on Top Navigation, URL Router, Categories and Post Excerpt.
- From URL Router it expects a service in dependency injection registry
- From other components it uses HTML tags providing configuration through attributes.
- The Blog itself provides the HTML tag <blog></blog> to be used inside Applift Frontend App component's template.
Conclusion: Good To Do
- Components should represent all items of the website's hierarchy
- Folder structure of components should represent the website's hierarchy as closely as possible
- Each individual component should contain everything related to it in its folder. It's better not to scatter styles, templates and tests across the file system
- Each component must declare its direct dependencies. It shouldn't rely on any dependencies implicitly just because it's always used in one exact context
- Each component that has a template must have an HTML identificator, so that using HTML hierarchy was possible. The HTML hierarchy should copy the website's hierarchy.
- Configuration for a component with a template should be provided using HTML attributes wherever it's possible
- If configuration requires callback, there should be a way to specify it in an attribute
- If a component doesn't have a template, it should register parts of its code in a dependency injection or some similar scoping mechanism. Other components should use dependency injection to get the code of the component
Our belief is that this can be achieved with many popular frameworks. For us AngularJS 1.x worked just fine, we'll talk about it in the next post.

Headlight Switch Assembly in Dash
pkust replied to rogerjohnsen's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)Roger, see if this will work...... https://www.partsgeek.com/fpvcs3p-audi-a4-headlight-switch.html
Tiptronic Weird Shifting
pkust replied to Ordonezp's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)" when I'm slowing down, I will be going at a given speed, the car will downshift a gear, I will feel that sudden slow down, the car will run at a lower speed, downshift again, and I'll feel that sudden slowdown again. This keeps happening until the car reaches second gear, of course. " Mine does the same, you feel the down shift and then the deceleration braking, I have a 97 2.5 if the trans slips and them jams into gear that is not normal, JFP is right about changing the fluid a friend of mine suggested an additive that their shop puts in Mercedes that works well on the sticky selenoids when the hard shifting happens, but I don't have the name handy, will check tomorrow and post back!
Misfire Diagnosis
pkust replied to norcaltim's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)I had a coil pack failure at 18 years and 67k miles and replaced them all, seat of the pants feels like it runs better than ever, so when one goes, bite the bullet and do them all. Save the old ones and carry a spare, you will NEVER have another fail, as long as you have that spare with you. Murphy's law.
WOT Misfire Causing CEL in '99 2.5
pkust replied to McMadCow's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)I had a coil pack failure and feather footed the car home changed them all as they were all original and eighteen years old. Knew what the failure was as I had it happen to me in my wife Audi A4, lost two at once, factory recall. Now my '97 runs like new, what a difference. If you have your original packs, bite the bullet and just change them all at once, you will be glad you did.
Clean Radiator Results, '00 Tip, 95k mi
pkust replied to crwarren11's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)Sure glad you posted the pictures. Last Feb. a friend and I cleaned his rads out when we replaced an engine. We had to replace the driver side radiator as the dirt that was trapped down in the lower corner had actually corroded the aluminum and had created a slight leak that kept the dirt damp all the time resulting in even further corrosion, we didn't think of photos until we were finished with the project. This goes to show if you have a suspected over heating problem don't just go for the thermostat, clean your radiators first and see the difference that will make. Thanks for the info and pics, that is what this forum is all about, and the best one on the web......Thanks again!
Retracting pistons- rear caliper
pkust replied to skl's topic in 914, 914-6 SeriesThis is a great video on youtube from PMB Performance on the rebuilding of the rear calipers of the 914 It answers all of the little questions as to how these units go together. Just got done rebuilding mine and they turned out great!
is this a window regulator problem?
pkust replied to Jinster's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)I can't believe no one has responded to your question, everyone must be out driving their cars. It does sound like that may be the problem, check out the DIY on window regulator repair. I have just experienced a failure on my passenger side, It goes down with the top latch and the console switch but not with the outer handle, although I can hear the motor working so it is not the switch. Pull the door panel and let us know what the issue is, the motor noise when activating it without the window movement would point to the regulator in the door. Good luck, Paul

pkust replied to eiblanco's topic in 356 Series1954 356 Cabriolet, Bent windshield visor on windshield frame cover on top assembly in down position Cool photo!
Odd tip behavior
pkust replied to mackgoo's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)I think the operation is covered in the owners manual, it is normal to auto downshift to first when coming to a stop in the manual mode.
Hard shifting tip
pkust replied to mackgoo's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)I have periodically experienced the same symptoms on the 4th to 5th up shift, It seemed to lessen after I changed the trans fluid and filter, my guess is a slightly sticking solenoid in the pressure circuit on the up shift. I have noticed that if you time the shift with letting up on the gas, as if you were shifting, it will shift normally with out the slamming. If you haven't changed your fluid, try that first, clean fluid if very important with these boxes. Hope this gives you some direction. :drive:
Maurice, here is the update on the top, the checklist was a lifesaver! You were right, it was the micro switch that activates the convertible top double relay, there were micro cracks in the solder at the pins on the cross strip, so we re-soldered them and still could not get it to work, there was still a problem within the switch itself on the ground side and it would not make a connection to the socket at the relay, so we replaced the switch and everything works as it should. What a test! After trouble shooting it all, it finally makes sense how all of the switches tie together. What a learning experience! Thank you so much for your help on this issue and I hope that others will find this thread helpful WHEN they have a top problem, as surely they will! This forum is the BEST! :thumbup: Paul
Thanks, Maurice. Down loaded fine, and will post results after checking the system, you are a lifesaver! Paul
Yes, #5 relates to that, have done searches and can not figure what I am missing, that's why I questioned the alarm system although I haven't read anything that brings that into the equation, but on the diagrams it is tied in, the question is to what extent and if that may be an issue. Can't seem to find a trouble shooting flowchart for this system yet, there should be one out there somewhere.
Forgot to mention he replaced the dash switch with a new one although they both tested the same and we have replaced the ignition switch with a new one. Thanks
No response from top motor
pkust posted a topic in 986 Boxster Top Issues and SolutionsHello all, haven't posted in a while, no issues, though read digests daily! Helping a friend work on his 1999 Boxster and we have an issue with the top not working. The top worked last year when we put a hardtop on and we have just put in a non-blown motor to get this $3500 POS running again. This is what we know. 1. When unlatching the top the windows lower. 2. Removed motor and switch for clamshell, switch works properly and motor will run on the bench with 12v direct. 3. Both fuses are ok, and we have power to both fuses. 4. B pillar mico switch works. 5. Parking brake light works properly 6, Top control unit will work in my car, my top control unit will not work in his. Noticed on electrical diagrams that the control unit ties into the alarm system. The remote works properly, doors lock, alarm works, proximity sensor works and zone indicator works, beeps if area not closed. What are we missing. This thing is bumming me out. We installed another engine, which went well and it stated first try, top is the last thing to fix. Thanks Paul

G-Eazy Venue Change - Click Here For More Information
Dressed in black with his hair slicked back, G-Eazy adds a touch of class to hip-hop. For as traditionally dapper as he may be, he's got both feet firmly planted in the future. So what does the future look like for the producer, songwriter, and rapper? Well, it's just as bright as he is…
Raised in Oakland, CA, G-Eazy made the decision to enroll at Loyola University New Orleans because of their strong music industry program where he started to cultivate and craft his own inimitable style while still in college. For the budding artist, the partying wasn't nearly as important as creating. He missed more than a few keggers so he could lay down tracks in his dorm room for a series of buzz-generating mixtapes culminating in his 2011 breakout, Endless Summer.
With the release of Endless Summer, G-Eazy started to garner attention from both the backpackers and the mainstream. MtvU nominated him for "Best Music On Campus," while he played to packed houses opening for superstars such as Drake and Lil Wayne.
Diploma in hand, he hit 2012 running. During that summer's Warped Tour, he produced, wrote, and recorded what would become his full-length debut, Must Be Nice. Blending elegant production with a sly, slick, and smooth flow, the album landed at #3 on the iTunes Hip Hop Chart completely independent of a label.
That next chapter is already unfolding. 2013 saw G-Eazy complete his first headline tour, selling out shows everywhere from New York, Milwaukee, and Salt Lake City to Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Looking more like a Tarantino hero than a standard MC, he stirred up a frenzy among the heavily female crowds, dodging a bras or two from the stage on a nightly basis. From the overwhelming success of the tour Paste Magazine named G-Eazy in their top artists to watch in 2013, High Times Magazine named him the "Best New Artist of 2013," and Lil Wayne tapped him to join the America's Most Wanted Festival nationwide tour.
"We built up to this point one gig at a time," G-Eazy affirms. "I always wanted to do my own thing whether it's producing my own songs or dressing my own way."
The response will only grow more fervent as he unveils his highly anticipated second full-length album These Things Happen out June 23, 2014 and embarks on his second nationwide headline tour in 2014. Still, his goal remains the same as it did when he first started.
"I hope to connect with people," he concludes. "If the music inspires someone, that's incredible. It's about a deeper relationship with the listener that hopefully lasts a long time. You're with me now."
This event has past.

Restore is the "comfort food" of mod'ers!
NOTE: This procedure is for Nook Tablets that are OPERATING. It can be used if you want to change the ROM or return to a previous state.
If your Nook is NOT operating, then click this link to visit our "Unbrick" article.
If is much easier to "take a chance" and try modifying your Nook, if you know that you can return to your present setup if something goes wrong with the new stuff. That is what a Nandroid backup/restore does – take you back to exactly where you were when the backup was done.
Instructions for Restoring a backup on the Nook Tablet.
[important]The process will restore a backup that you created previously. If you have not created such a backup see this article for step-by-step instructions.[/important]
Execute CWM:
There are three possible scenarios for getting CWM to run on the Nook:
- Executed via external (bootable) SDCard
- Executed via internally installed version
- Executed via Cyanoboot (2nd boot) program
If you do not have CWM installed on the Nook's internal memory (or, if you do not know), then you should use the External (bootable) SDCard version. (Instructions for creating it are here.) In this case, you should just insert the bootable card into the Nook's SDCard slot and power the Nook on (press the power button briefly). When it boots into the Blue menu, skip to "Using CWM".
If you have installed CWM to the internal memory of your Nook, execute the program by pressing the Nook (or home) button and the power button at the same time. Continue to hold both until the screen begins to display. At this point, skip to "Using CWM."
If you have Cyanoboot installed (with CWM as the internal recovery), then execute the program by pressing the power button, then when prompted, hold the HOME button. When the Cyanoboot menu comes up, use the Home key to move down the list and find "Internal eMMC Recovery" then press the power button to select it.
Using CWM:
[important]Use the Volume + or – keys to move up and down the CWM menu, Use the power button to go back to a previous menu. Use the Nook (or home) button to execute a selection.[/important]
- Let CWM boot completely (displays blue menu)
- Insert (or switch) SDCard in slot on Nook (the card must contain your backup files)
- On the CWM menu, select "backup and restore"
- Select "restore"
- Locate and select your backup from the files on the SDCard & press the Nook button to select it
- Answer "Yes" to the confirmation item.
- Wait until CWM returns to the blue menu.
- Remove the SDCard from the Nook
- Select "reboot system now"
That's it! If there was no error reported, then you just restore your Nook's internal memory to the same position it was when you did the backup. All the system info (Rom, settings, etc), applications, and internal user data were restored and the Nook is returned to exactly the same setup as when you made the backup.
[important]As always, your comments are important to us. Please tell us how this worked for you, or any errors you found, changes that are needed, etc.[/important]

Lauren Conrad showing her Paper Crown line at the ENK Fashion Coterie.
Photo: WireImage
When ex-Hillsie Lauren Conrad released lookbook images from her "passion project" fashion line Paper Crown back in February, we were MORE than stoked to get a glimpse into her new life as a designer. We immediately fell in love with her faux-leather shorts and chiffon maxis, but we wanted MOAARRR. Luckily, Lauren Conrad started a Forbes column that divulges all of her entrepreneurial secrets (SCANDALOUS!). The timing couldn't be more perfect considering her collection is available to buy starting tomorrow (!!!) at Nordstrom, Ron Herman, and Fred Segal. The line retails from $59 and $458, and LC said it was inspired by—drumroll—herself! So, about that column? We'll snip out all of the good parts since we know, like, 98% of Millennials start uncontrollably flinching when they are shown mass amounts of words all grouped together. OH, PARAGRAPHS. THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
Looks from Lauren Conrad's new line, Paper Crown.
Photo: Courtesy of Paper Crown
• Based on Lauren's success with her LC Lauren Conrad collection for Kohl's and Lauren Conrad STYLE book, she had confidence that the line would do well.
• Lauren studied other contemporary clothing companies like Elizabeth & James, Vince, and Rebecca Minkoff and reviewed how they manufactured their products, their social media methods, and sales strategy.
• Her biggest challenge was trying to maintain a beautiful design aesthetic without jacking up the prices. "Let's say I want to use a $4.50 trim, but I can only afford to use a similar, yet less lovely, $1.23 trim in order to hit my target price. At this point, I can decide to use that higher quality trim, but I'll be taking a hit from the inflated price."
• Lauren is proud of what Paper Crown has turned out to be—"a collection of polished pieces with a charming and youthful vibe—the look and feel of the line is clean, cool and feminine."
• In the future, LC sees Paper Crown growing while still keeping its specialty feel.

text: After much indecision and a summer of designing the quilting, quilting and un-quilting :), I finally finished this custom quilt for my customer and friend in Newmarket. She pieced the quilt for her husband and he quite liked the end product. The process was a learning experience for me! The most valuable lesson I learned was not to let the customer give me her designs for the quilting. I will do what I think is right and works for the quilt. The customer needs to trust my judgement.

My question is: Does living at high altitudes make you look younger? This is complicated, so try to follow me. At a recent 90th birthday party for my grandmother, lots of comments were made about how young she looks. I also got complimented for the same thing. On the other hand, people said my cousin and my aunt were not aging quite as well. Both my grandmother and I live at relatively high altitudes (she lives in Alaska and I'm here in Boise) while my cousin and aunt live at sea level on the coast of Oregon. I don't think it can be genetics because we're all related to one another, but what do you think?
--Rebecca (once again)
My first thought upon reading your question was: Didn't Michael Jackson sleep inside an "altitude-changing" hyperbaric oxygen chamber so he wouldn't grow old? Then my mind wandered over images of him sleeping soundly in his futon torpedo, looking younger and younger and more like Dora the Explorer with every oxygenated breath. Of course, I then realized it would be nearly impossible for him to get any sleep inside that thing, what with young boys being so restless and prone to messing with all the little dials and whatnot.
Further reflection revealed that I also had it backwards: A hyperbaric chamber increases the atmospheric pressure to saturate tissues with oxygen, while an actual altitude increase reduces the air pressure and lessens the available oxygen. The chamber, which often resembles an iron lung, is best known for use in treating the "bends," or decompression sickness, following a deep-sea diver's too-rapid ascent to the surface. The devices are also widely used in medical therapy to improve tissue infections, diabetic foot ulcers, cases of gangrene, and burns--perhaps like those occurring when your hair catches on fire during filming of a Pepsi commercial.
At high elevations, the opposite effect (low air pressure and decreased oxygen) may lead to altitude sickness. This temporary condition is really a failure of the body to adapt quickly enough to the external changes. Making it worse, the abrupt change in altitude is often accompanied by physical exertion--hiking, skiing or climbing--activities that increase the body's oxygen requirements at the same time oxygen is less available in the air. The result, called hypoxia, can include symptoms like disordered reasoning, weakness and nausea. Older people are generally more susceptible to altitude sickness and have greatly worsened symptoms if they suffer from medical conditions that reduce lung function, like emphysema or chronic bronchitis. But hey, it could all be worth it if you still look like your prom picture, right?
Not so fast. Research on the elderly of Nepal, a tiny country containing eight of the 14 highest mountains in the world, showed that as the residents aged, progressively smaller amounts of oxygen entered their blood during sleep (not good). And according to Dr. Gustavo Gonzales, a Peruvian physiologist who studies the effect of altitude on the human body, "it is known that women living at high altitude are more susceptible to disease and tend to die earlier." To prove it, he completed one of a number of studies that, in 2002, found certain adrenal hormones important for overall health (DHEA and DHEAS) were produced in smaller amounts at high altitude and ultimately declined to levels about 40 percent of that of women living at sea level.
Fortunately for both you and your grandmother, his studies were done in the Andes Mountains of Peru at elevations of more than 13,000 feet, much higher than most American cities. So unless your grandmother lives atop Mt. McKinley, she's got little to worry about in that department--though at 90, she should probably cut back on her glacier climbing. A more straightforward aging concern with thinner air at higher elevations, however, is the relative strength of the sun. Without a heavy atmosphere to help filter the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, over-exposure to the skin happens much faster and with more intensity than at lower heights. And since the sun may be the single largest cause of premature aging, living at higher altitudes is more likely to make you look older, not younger.
Though it's nice to appear more youthful than your relatives, you probably just take better care of your skin. Unlike you, Grandma and Michael Jackson, the rest of us have to actually worry about premature aging. As for The King of Pop, the moment he gets a wrinkle, apparently a surgeon simply swaps that body part with a convenient replacement. He's sort of like Neverland's version of a Mr. Potato Head--but one you keep away from children.

Glorify God
Snack time at the park.
When I got up to the school, the first thing I did was gather all of the art supplies to make key chains. Once I had it ready, I was started heading down to the house, but a bunch of the kids and Tias were off to a soccer field/basketball court so I went with them. It was entertaining to see them all running around playing games on and off the court. If I would try to sit down to take a break there would be a group of kids surrounding me wanting me to stand up and join them. One little girl wanted me to walk around a tree with her and that is exactly what we did, I love how easily entertained kids are! It is truly beautiful how kids see people and the world around them, I strive to have a heart that loves as freely and forgives as quickly as children. After I was there for a while it was time to get back to work, so I hiked back up the hill to the school and spent time preparing for school. When it came close to noon, I went down to meet up with the volunteer team and ventured to Alexander's for lunch. It was off to a good start with popcorn for my soup, it really is a great combo! It was another nice time of sharing stories with the team members and getting to know them better. It started raining hard while we were eating, but Jeff brought the truck by so we got a ride back up to the orphanage. At last it was time for arts and
Tati with her key chain!
crafts with the kids. They learned very quickly and loved working with the beads! I was so impressed with how crerative they are and how unique each of the key chains turned out. The transition from crafts to coloring their bible pages was not very smooth...it was rather chaotic to be completely honest. Since the other teachers were gone the school was locked up and I didn't have any keys, I was able to track some down and get them settled in eventually though! I am relieved to say I had volunteers from the team to help me get it all sorted out. After coloring we got all the youngsters loaded in to the vehicle and were off to Bible Club. It is a great opportunity for the kids to learn about God and for me to learn more about how to communicate who Christ is in Spanish. I am officially adjusting to being in Ecuador, because when I was counting to make sure all of the kids were in the car to get back I started counting in Spanish! I was surprised and really quite excited! I was exhausted after getting them all back to the house, but decided to walk back to my house. The mountains were marvelous off in the distance and I didn't want to miss this opportunity to soak in the scenery. It was incredibly pretty and I enjoyed
The mountains in the distance!
having time to unwind on my walk. There were times today I found myself trying to control events that I need to let God take care of, becasue I cannot do anything good big OR small without His help! James 4:14-15
says, "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will,
we will live and do this or that.'" There were a couple things today that reminded me how short our time here on earth is and how quickly things around us can change. It is my prayer that we may all embrace
every second we are given and use the time we're given to Glorify God.
I met up with the Cheralyn, the Freeman's, and the volunteer team for supper and Johnny's tonight. I got an excellent burger with everything on it, and dessert came shortly after when I stopped at the market for some ice cream. I am grateful for my lovely family and getting to Skype with all of them tonight :)It is time for bedtime since it has been a long and busy day.

"The riches accumulate unobtrusively" is a phrase that seems to apply well to the development of the print. Through the process of concealing and revealing an image takes hold. I don't always feel in charge of the final resolution but let the tools, color and process guide me. The print reveals itself in stages, and when successful a coherence of color, texture, form and expression is achieved. The natural world is a constant influence always changing transmitting energy and inspiring new ideas.

She's a sassy, sultry songtress named Elle Casazza, blogspot readers, who pumped soulful jazz to contemporary pop vocals into her songs amidst a full band backing her. There was plenty of heat being felt as her voice melted the lyrics during the beginning of the set in which perfectly created a pleasant music atmosphere for her audience. Her style wonderfully complemented the smoky jazz/adult contemporary vibe (with a little of edgy blues rhythms) energizing the room around SouthSide. There was some hip swaying moments ...definitely some toe tapping tunes here and there, blogspot readers, as this reviewer enjoyed the danceable beat especially when debuting her new song. While steaming up the mic with her sultry voice within the band's downtempo rhythm, SouthSide suddenly noticed something about Elle's performance. She got it. She understood how soulfully dynamic and sultry this vocalist's voice can get, blogspot readers, but what she couldn't understand was why didn't she demonstrate that vocal power and strength when it truly counted. In other words, sometimes there was no "wow" factor in this performance. There were a few opportunities, in this reviewer's opinion, in which she should have popped the lyrics to life with a strong tour de force of vocal (of what SouthSide) calls "oomph".
For example – "The Body Knows", that particular song called for Elle to really pop the lyrics to life ...showing off just more than how sultry her voice gets with the neo-soul jazz accompaniment behind her. She could have added a little spice and/or vocal improv (aka beat-bop) while the band members performed their rockin' solos during the song's instrumental bridge, blogspot readers. Musically – the number was great but lyrically, Elle could have done more. On the flipside, when performing "Say Something, Elle did put on a little "wow" factor for the audience but sort of lost it when doing the title track to the album "For Your Pleasure" where the band somewhat overpowered her vocally. Good thing she had back up vocalists assisting her on this particular song or SouthSide wouldn't have been able to hear her. At least, she did end with a little "wow" factor. This reviewer was sorely disappointed that she didn't totally go "crazy" while covering Prince's hit song "Let's Go Crazy", blogspot readers. Musically it wasn't the right fit for her vocal style since Elle wafted between "soft", "normal" and "loud and hardcore" at the same time while singing the lyrics. SouthSide didn't know if she was trying to sing and/or talk or both her way through the cover song even though it finally sparked some of her fans to dance. On the other hand, the band rocked ...right down to the infamous electric solo despite not hearing Elle screaming "...crazy..." at the end. Overall, blogspot readers, Elle Casazza performed a good show. She does rock the stage vocally as well as musically yet a few songs could use some "wow" factor vocally (especially when covering a Prince song) amidst her neo-soul/adult contemporary sound. There's danceable rhythms for you tap your feet to or shake your hips.

Until next time, support your local scene,SouthSide

Blogger only shows my a short line and cut it off there, so I can't see the rest of the search. I was tempted to answer the question as it stands, but I don't think that it's the right question; as even this partial question is a set up for failure. I have found that asking "right/wrong" questions about ambiguous areas often creates a sense of self-righteousness and aloofness.
There is always the best of intentions to please God, and it may not happen right away, but eventually standards will come into contact with other standards and judgement will have to be passed. If the question has only been framed in terms of right & wrong then anyone who does partake (when you do not), is wrong. I came across this in Bible College all the time, some would triumphantly proclaim that they didn't (and others shouldn't) watch this or that. And it was almost never just about them.
Better questions would be ones that steer away from this mindset, but also avoid the "Everything is permissible" thinking, such as:
- Why am I watching this?
- Where does this sit on the quadrant?
- How will this program effect my relationship with God?
- What does this tell me about life, culture, faith, & God?
- How can I relate to some of the characters? Why do the characters act is certain ways?
- What does it say about sin and the fallenness of mankind?
None of these questions ask if watching is right or wrong, and none of them will inform you as to what to watch, but they will reshape how you watch. Also, there will be tell-tale signs (when answering these questions) that a program is not worth watching, I'll trust that's easy enough to work out.
After answering those (and other) questions, you are now in the position to talk about and critique what you've seen, it ceases to be entertainment in a strict sense and becomes something that you can learn from and grow from. It stops becoming "mindless".

Definition of wellness:
Noun: The quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort.
Whether your business has 2 or 200 employees, it is possible to offer a wellness plan in your workplace.
As healthcare costs continue to rise and uncertainty surrounds what the future of health insurance may be, now is the time to consider Wellness. Whether your group is fully-insured or self funded, there are so many positive reasons to introduce wellness to your company:
- Wellness programs can be custom tailored to each employer's need based on company demographic, size and budget.
- From insurance carrier value-add plans, to wellness dollars possibly available from your carrier, to building some money into a company budget, you can make a wellness plan as easy as onsite yoga to something as robust as an office "Biggest Loser" type competition, or health and wellness expo!
- Healthy employees are happy employees–especially when they see their employer really cares.
- Healthier employees who understand the importance of going to the doctor at least once a year for their wellness exams can create lower overall costs.
- Chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes can be controlled with maintenance medication, good nutrition and exercise. With good nutrition and exercise, it is possible the maintenance drugs may no longer be needed.
- Identifying conditions before they lead to more serious conditions or events like strokes or heart attacks is key to preventing long-term complications or recovery.
- Wellness programs keep employees engaged and can build stronger relationships internally.
Wellness programs cannot be successful without the commitment from the Human Resources department and management. We can help implement these programs with little help but welcome engagement from the company and the employees. You only get out of wellness what you put into it. Meet us halfway and see what kind of difference it makes for you and your organization!

Lone Star College-Kingwood's Continuing Education dental assisting program is undergoing many changes thanks to Tabitha Anderson, the new health occupations program manager. The lab has been re-located to a larger room offering two dental operatories for students to practice their hands-on skills chair side.
The best way to become a dental assistant is to receive formal education and studying in a Commission or Dental Accreditation accredited program provides education that is based on the latest procedures and techniques.
The Dental Assistant Certificate offered through Lone Star College-Kingwood prepares students to function competently and safely as a chair-side dental assistant in a relatively short period of time. This module focuses on office procedures, communication skills, basic dental anatomy and instrumentation, preparation of examination and treatment areas, operation and maintenance of clinical equipment, infection control, safety issues, and dental radiography procedures. Forty-eight (48) of the 176 hours will be scheduled in a dentist's office for clinical training.
If you have strong communication skills, enjoy working with your hands as well as your mind and want a career with responsibility, dental assisting is for you.
Dental assisting offers many challenges with job responsibilities being among the most comprehensive and varied in the dental office. A dental assistant greatly increases the efficiency of the dentist in the delivery of quality oral health care and is an integral member of the dental health care team.
Dental offices are interesting, pleasant, people-oriented environments in which to work and dental assisting involves tasks that require both interpersonal and technical skills. With this personal interaction comes the satisfaction of knowing you've really helped someone by providing a valuable health service.
In addition to assisting the dentist during a variety of procedures, other tasks dental assistants may perform include taking and developing dental radiographs (x-rays), sterilizing instruments and equipment and taking impressions of patients' teeth.
Since many dentists employ two or more dental assistants, employment opportunities in this field are excellent with both full- and part-time positions available.
The next class begins April 16, 2007. It's not too early to sign up. If you would like additional information about this program call 281-312-1660 or visit kingwood.lonestar.edu/goto/ce.

The premium investors receive for buying the junkiest credit—the spread to high-rated debt like US Treasury bills, notes and bonds—is insanely small, hardly any compensation for the additional risk. From David Stockman at davidstockmanscontracorner.com:
The financial system is loaded with anomalies, deformations and mispricings—-outcomes which would never occur on an honest free market. For example, the junk bond yield at just 2% in Europe is now below that of the "risk-free" US treasury bond owing solely to the depredations of the ECB.
Indeed, madman Draghi has purchased $2.6 trillion of securities since launching QE in March 2015, and during the interim has actually bought more government debt than was issued by all the socialist governments of the EU-19 combined!
Outrunning Europe's deficit-addicted welfare states is quite a feat in itself, but that wasn't the half of it. The ECB's printing press became so parched for government debt to buy that it has ended up owning more than $120 billion of corporate bonds. In some recent cases, the ECB has actually taking down 20% or more of new corporate issues—an action that surely leaves the fastidious founders of its Bundesbank prodecessor turning in their graves.
In turn, the ECB's Big Fat Thumb on the investment grade scale stampeded fund managers into the junk market in quest of yield, especially for BB rated paper which makes up 75% of the European high yield market. So doing, these return hungry managers have crushed the the yield on the Merrill Lynch junk bond index, driving it down from 6.4% in early 2106 to an incredible 2.002% last week.
That is to say, leveraged speculators in European junk have made 100% plus returns over the last 20 months on dodgy paper that should be yielding double or triple its current rate.
In fact, the current lunatic euro-trash yield is completely off the historical charts. Euro-junk rarely yielded under 5% in the past, and had spiked to upwards of 10% at the time of Draghi's "whatever it takes" ukase, which, in turn, was modest compared to the 25% blow-0ff high during the depths of the financial crisis.
