recalc entries now indicates paging status.  need to make the js-side an angular service though.
angular module requirements are the worst thing ever.  finally modulized.
finally got rid of those annoying missing font console messages.
bashing through angular services for the pager.
pager detects non-changes
feed toggle serives, broadcasting, and generally placing all biz logic in the service instead of the controller seems to have worked.  components are now properly connected to one another and can pick up on broadcasted changes from other components.
okay, that's enough for today.  pager still needs work (as do many other things.)
