It's just the thing for catching more of your life's most special moments.Add to that the FS11's Canon Exclusive features such as Canon 48x Advanced Zoom and our DIGIC DV II Image Processor, combined with a 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor, Image Stabilization and a 2.7" Widescreen LCD -- and you truly have a Flash Memory camcorder that's both hard to beat and unmistakably Canon.
Flash Memory in a Compact SizeThe FS11 is one of Canon's first and most affordable Flash Memory camcorders.In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory offers more to you as well. You'll appreciate its quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Press the record button and your FS11 starts recording video faster than you've ever seen before. In addition, when you review your footage, it will start playing more quickly as well.Another plus is the FS11's lower power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It's just what you need so you don't miss that pivotal play on the field or the moment when they say "I do".While we certainly hope you keep your FS11 securely in your hand while shooting, if it happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that Flash Memory makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss due to damage to your recording media or the moving parts in other camcorders.Making this new technology even more convenient to use is the FS11's compact size and light weight. Measuring only 2.3" wide, 2.4" high and 4.9" deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body.A Class 2 or higher card is recommended. Also, movie recording requires cards with 128 MB of memory or more. Cards made by Toshiba, SanDisk or Matsushita are recommended. No particular restrictions apply for still images.Dual Flash Memory: 16GB Internal Flash Drive & SDHC card slotDual Flash MemoryWhat makes the FS11 stand out in the category of Flash Memory camcorders is its Dual Memory capability. You can capture video on both the camcorder's internal 16GB Flash Memory as well as onto an SDHC memory card.Video stored on the internal memory can also be copied onto the memory card which can then be inserted into your computer or televisions card reader slot for immediate viewing. It is also possible to transfer still images recorded to the SDHC card to the internal memory.Additionally, you can use higher capacity memory cards to further increase the video storage of your FS11. A Class 2 or higher card is recommended. Also, movie recording requires cards with 128 MB of memory or more. Cards made by Toshiba, SanDisk or Matsushita are recommended.

However, most people wanting to try it (version 0.5b) have come across a startup bug, where Rkward says it can't find some plugins, resulting in a useless interface since some plugins are required for proper operation.
After spending quite some time looking for the solution to this problem, and finding it, I decided to document it here in three simple steps:
- The first task is to find the file 'all.pluginmap': just type "locate all.pluginmap" at the console. Mine was located on "/usr/share/apps/rkward/all.pluginmap"
- Open "~/.kde/share/config/rkwardrc" with your favorite editor and fix the path to "all.pluginmap" you have just found out in the variable "Plugin Maps" under "[Plugin Settings]".
- The if you start Rkward again, you will stumble on another bug (derived again from a hardcoded path) which tells you that some php file cannot be found. To fix this one you have to make a link on your home directory to an Rkward instalation folder. Open a terminal and type "ln -s /usr/share/apps/rkward ~/rkward".

Wheat farmers can count on high fertilizer prices becoming a consistent factor in annual production budgets, says a Texas AgriLife Extension fertility specialist. So farmers need to fine-tune operations to make certain their fertility programs are as efficient as possible.
Options should include annual soil tests, deep sampling, proper placement, proper timing and proper rate to mesh with intended crop use.
Farmers also may want to look at organic fertilizer sources, such as chicken litter, but should be careful about non-traditional products that may not come with unbiased testing.
"We've seen significant changes in the price of fertilizer in the past 10 years," said Mark McFarland, Extension soil fertility specialist, during a Big Country Wheat Conference in Abilene, Texas. "We've seen costs go to levels we have not seen before, and, even though they have moderated a bit in the past two or two-and-a-half months, prices are still 200 percent to 300 percent higher than historical levels.
"I don't see prices going down," McFarland said. "The global market demand will keep them high. So, high nutrient costs will remain a substantial part of wheat production economics."
Wheat producers will need to factor those high prices into production budgets and find ways to make that investment as profitable as possible. "The keys to fertility efficiency are type of nutrient, rate of application, method of application and timing of application," he said.
Type and rate should be determined by soil tests. "With current fertilizer prices, we are promoting annual soil sampling. Wheat producers must verify what nutrients are needed and also credit the amount already available in the soil, including residual from previous crops."
Deficiencies hurt yield
Deficiencies can be costly. McFarland said nitrogen may be the most challenging to manage since it changes and transforms after application and may be lost to soil leaching or into the atmosphere.
"We recommend a split application for wheat," he said. "That way we make certain we have nitrogen available at peak demand and also minimize the potential for losses from heavy rainfall or other climate factors. Split applications also give us an opportunity to judge crop conditions and potential before we topdress so we can apply the most effective and most economical rate."
Rate and timing also depend on crop use. Demand may be different for wheat intended for grain, grazing or as a dual purpose crop. Yield potential and available moisture also affect fertility rate.
McFarland said farmers should look deeper for residual nitrogen, especially if they planted and fertilized a crop last year and drought prevented typical production. "Nitrogen is very soluble and moves in the soil profile, so we recommend farmers sample deeper than the 0 to 6-inch depth they usually pull from."
Nitrogen that has moved deeper into the soil profile is still available to the crop. Tests have shown substantial amounts of nitrogen as deep as 48 inches — from 78 to 210 pounds per acre, McFarland said. "At just 24-inch depths, we still find significant amounts of nitrogen available. With the current price of fertilizer, that may represent a significant savings."
He said farmers who use residual nitrogen can decrease typical application rates by the amount identified and produce equal yields. "But farmers have to measure it to know how to adjust rates."
Savings could range from $10 to more than $100 per acre, depending on the crop need and the amount of residual nitrogen available. "And that's just for nitrogen; other nutrients are also found at depth. We recommend farmers consider deep sampling, especially if they put out fertilizer last year and had no crop to utilize it."
Pull two samples
Farmers will have to pull two samples, one from the usual 0- to 6-inch depth to determine nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium calcium, magnesium, sulfur, micronutrients, and pH. They'll need to take a second sample from 0 to 18 or 24 inches to determine residual nutrient levels with depth. He also suggested farmers use N-rich strips in season to judge the proper amount of topdress nitrogen. N-rich strips consist of narrow strips laid out in the wheat field with each strip receiving a different rate of preplant fertilizer. Strips are fertilized with increasing rates of nitrogen (for example 0, 40, 80, and 120 pounds per acre) up to the maximum rate for the expected yield.
Producers evaluate each strip to determine between which increments there is no difference in plant growth. They use the last discernible improvement to establish topdress rate. If the last strip to show a yield advantage is 80 pounds per acre, and the grower applied 40 pounds per acre at planting, he needs to topdress his field with 40 pounds to bring the total to 80 pounds.
Phosphorus also makes a difference. "Phosphorus stimulates early root formation, increases tillering and increases seed size."
But, unlike nitrogen, phosphorus is stable. "It stays put. If farmers apply phosphorus to the surface it doesn't migrate into the root zone," he said.
"We need to incorporate phosphorus to 5 or 6 inches. That will improve uptake substantially and increases production potential. Phosphorus prices are close to nitrogen costs, so we need to put it where the plant can take advantage of it."
McFarland said he's seen more potassium deficiencies than usual the past few years. "And I'm not sure why. It could be that fields have been cropped for many years, and natural soil levels are decreasing. And, under dry conditions, root uptake of soil potassium already is limited. But potassium is important. It plays a role in cold hardiness and water use efficiency."
He also cautioned growers about "non-traditional" fertilizer products. "With current high nutrient prices, silver bullets are being marketed to producers to enhance fertilizer efficiency. The problem is that often no research is available to back up many of these claims. Be sure to have independent, nonbiased research before using a new product."
Humic acid is a product that's been touted in recent years as a means of enhancing fertility. "We've looked at it in cotton, corn and grain sorghum and saw no response compared to traditional products."
He said humic acids occur naturally in the soil anyway, "probably from one-half to one ton per acre. So if we only add 1 to 3 gallons per acre it's not likely to have much impact.
"Look for sound scientific data before deciding to use any new product."
Organic nutrient sources, such as chicken litter, can offer "real bargains." The biggest factors will be transportation cost and moisture content. If a farmer can have chicken litter delivered and spread for $65 to $75 a ton, he should do the math and see how it compares to standard inorganic products. "Also, do an analysis on compost or manure to determine what's in it and then compare that dollar to dollar with inorganic fertilizers."
But, whether it's chicken litter, compost or typical fertilizer products, McFarland says the keys remain the same. Select the type of fertilizer, the rate, the method and the time of applications based on crop conditions, moisture and intended crop use. And measure — soil sample — to make certain that what you apply is exactly what you need.

Dipshit's latest performance in the wake of Monday night's rainstorm shouldn't be any surprise. Yeah, we know – the mayor's office is currently occupied by a petulant, incompetent, man-child with no abstract thinking skills, no grasp of the difference between true and false, and a sense of entitlement the size of a Cadillac Escalade. Tell me something I don't know.
Seriously, though – Nenshi comparisons aside, the guy's idea of leadership is to sit in his fucking SUV with the engine running and the A/C cranked while the city staffers he spends his days pissing on actually work to fix things? And then tell everyone else to reduce their power consumption? How can anyone still take this fuckwit seriously, let alone support him?
Nothing new here either, except maybe confirmation that reading the Sun or listening to Jerry Agar makes stupid people even stupider. [*cough* NunziataMinnan-WongDiGiorgioKellyPalacioCrisantiMammo *cough*] This is how what's left of Ford Asspimple thinks:
They don't want to pay taxes to fund the maintenance of public infrastructure, but when it rains and the sewer system overflows, they'll complain about having to waddle through puddles of their own shit.
They don't want to pay taxes to support programs that keep at-risk youth out of trouble, and then they sit and bitch about crime.
They don't want to pay taxes for realistic and affordable public transit, but they'll whine about gridlock and blame it on bike lanes and streetcars.
At this point, anyone who can still support Rob Ford is just as much of a moron as he is, and even if there once was a reason to pretend otherwise, that reason's toast by now. These people are so stupid, shallow, resentful and easily manipulated that they'll swim in their own shit just to spite everyone else. I wouldn't give a fuck, except that they're getting it all over everything, and high-fiving each other at what's probably the greatest accomplishment of what passes for their lives.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia urged other countries on Thursday to ignore letters threatening an attack on next month's Winter Olympics in Sochi, dismissing the warnings as a hoax.
The host nation echoed international Olympic officials who said the messages received by national Olympic committees in the United States and at least five European countries, making a "terrorist threat", posed no danger.
"I think this is a provocation ... and we recommend that our colleagues from other countries pay no attention," Russian Olympic Committee chief Alexander Zhukov told a news conference.
After two suicide bombings killed 34 people in the southern city of Volgograd last month, Russia has been keen to assure athletes and spectators that the Olympics in Sochi, close to the turbulent North Caucasus, will be safe.
Islamist militants in the North Caucasus have threatened to attack the Games. But Zhukov said: "All necessary security measures have been taken and safety will be ensured."

ETSU football players reconnect to raise dollars for new program
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 8, 2013) – Over the course of two phone-a-thons held during the past week, ETSU football alumni teamed up to raise more than $35,000 for the ETSU Football Kickoff Fund.
The phone-a-thons were held on campus, featuring former ETSU football players calling their former teammates and fellow pigskin alums.
The former ETSU football players who participated in the campaign included Craig Charles, Chad Fleeman, Jerry Jones, Jeremy Carcich, Ken York, Matt Wilhjelm, Kelvin Thomas, Justin Smith, Richy Walker, Brock Pittman, Chris Reddick, Scott Mamo, Jeff Davis, Derek Fudge, Richard Hall, Rob Simpson, Gerald Sensabaugh and Scott Butler.
Building off the first phone-a-thon on July 30, which raised over $14,000 for the Kickoff Fund, the second event on Aug. 6 saw more than $20,000 pledged, raising the week sum to over $35,000.
In total, 100 individual pledges for the Kickoff Fund have been counted for the two sessions, including both one-time and recurring gifts. A number of recurring pledges requested follow ups in the next few months and some agreed to three-year contracts leading up to the start of football.
Kickoff Fund events will continue with private dinners, including one at Our House on Aug. 16, and additional phone-a-thons in the coming months. The positive effect of the reemergence of the football program has also trickled down to the university as a whole, as gifts to the general fund via phone-a-thons have quadrupled in the past few months.
During the phone-a-thons, food was provided for the workers by Robin Lynch and Farmhouse Galleries, as well as t-shirts by Tim Mullins and Walgreens.

Post subject: Great day on the water - a little stoke story
Sailed the access yesterday, 85lt 4.7m. Solid wind, warm water, ebbing, all smiles. A really fun afternoon of sailing, but that is not what made it such a great day on the water. My buddy Tom stopped windsurfing around 15 years ago. He was pretty into it back in the day, had good equipment, sailed all over the bay area and vacationed everywhere from the Gorge to Baja to sail.
We have been talking about getting him back on the water for the last few years. This year he got serious about it and bought a used wetsuit and harness. His old boards are still in good shape but the rig was too sketchy to use. We had been waiting for the right time/conditions and yesterday everything lined up perfectly. We rigged my 5.3 up and put it on his old Mistral Shredder (he is a big guy). I think both of us had low expectations and the whole idea was to just try it again. After a little refresher on beach start/water starts I grabbed my gear and went to have some fun. After a couple trips across the river I came back to check on him. To my surprise there is Tom, feet in the straps, hooked in and planning along. It was not necessarily pretty, but by the end of the day he was sailing across the river, falling off, and coming back to the same spot he started from. Everything came together perfectly, the equipment, the wind, tide, location. Watched the sunset from the grass with a couple of beers and headed home STOKED!
I'm sure he is moving slowly today, but I am also sure he will be back on the water again very soon. Welcome back Tom.

Nice story. You know, that's funny, I was telling my wife today, before I read the story, that I'm seeing a small trickle of old windsurfers coming back. Maybe!?

Couple of weeks ago I met a guy who told me he was getting back to windsurfing after a dozen years absence. It was his first day back. Told me he was a bit apprehensive as it was blowing pretty good at Coyote and he was out of shape. He told me that Gary at Helm said he's seeing more windsurfers starting to come back to the sport. Anyway the dude went out and after a hour or so he broke his boom but made it back in. Saw him again last week with a new carbon boom and a more determined look . I think we got another one back

Most decent 1999 sails are as good as anything today, but are older.
I have 1995 sails I can match up with anyone using their any year sails, if the winds are 16-27mph, my sail being a 6.0.
Anyone, by that I mean not fully sponsored pro guys like TysonPoor.
Talking board speed and jibing.

Great time to get back into sailing...tons of good, used gear out there. Gear that was abandoned by people who have stopped sailing. The circle of life or something.

I was an avid windsurfer back in the late 80's and used to spend every free moment looking for wind. I remember Coyote being so crowded you could hardly find a place to launch. Sailed all the time for about 10 years and then kids and a career ended that. Got into boating since that was something kids and the whole family could enjoy. Fast forward about 15 years. Kids are a little older and got the itch to get out on the water and sail again. Pulled out my dated gear and headed to Sherman and had an absolute blast. Felt like i had never left. Funny thing was that all the guys there were the same guys who sailed back when I did so I fit right in at age 50 and i wasn't the only guy there with gray hair! Bought all new used gear over the winter and now try to get out at least 2-3 times a week. Had my first morning session at Sherman Island in about 15 years and was smiling ear to ear. So greatful that I got back into the sport and plan on sailing for as long as I possibly can.

Yes - count me in w the returning silverbacks. My hiatus not as long, but think I fit the profile too. In my case, loading up the truck...big drive...camping...rigging...de-rig and do it all in reverse put me off the water and on the golf course. I still sailed avidly when at my cottage (w rigged sails) - but that is far away (our retirement Plan A option) and we r only there 3 wks a summer.
Now, with retirement getting close, I have sold-bought-swapped my way back into relevant gear (my sails all still great - just needed some boards, neoprene & fins) and will be back at'er this year as I collect all my gear at one place and get back into a weekly or more outing.
It is a sport for life, afterall.

Similar story for me.
Learned to sail as a kid on El Toro's and Sunfish.
Did WS in college in the early 80's in Santa Cruz.
Quit to get serious and do the job/family/house thing.
Returned to WS 5 years ago.
Just the same narcotic as when I left it. (and yes, better gear)
Only ach a bit more after a session at Sherman.
Like the pitch in the iWindsurf newsletter about learning to WS this summer.
Gotta keep the young blood flowing into this sport.

Description Balance Late Night Vest:
The Balance Late Night Series jumps off the springboard of the Divison Series' success. The Balance Series uses the same material and fit technology from the older Division Series, but with 50% thicker buoyant/impact foam. This series gives another option for those who have enjoyed the look and fit of the Division Series, but might need a little more thickness to the vest. The Balance Late Night Series is not a Coast Guard-approved vest.

EthanBMartin needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
My name is Ethan B. Martin. I am a web developer by trade, and in my spare time I write fiction and design games, Pilatche(TM) being one of them.
The winner of this design competition will receive free advertising for himself/herself, in addition to the monetary prize: With every pack of cards I produce that has your design on it, there will be a card that comes with the deck and rules, etc. with one side that promotes you as the graphic designer. This card face will be designed by you, of course, and is purely optional and only meant to benefit you and your design career. I reserve the right to veto any design I deem inappropriate.
I want to print decks of cards that look just as classy as modern poker cards. Most modern decks use few colors: white, black, red, yellow, blue. Similarly, I would only like to use white (as the background color), black, red, green and blue. You may choose to use gradients or blend colors but I recommend you aim for simplicity.
See http://www.pilatche.com for my logo, which you should feel free to use in the packaging for this project, or possibly even on the card backs.
I have done some graphic design for Pilatche(TM) myself, but I am not satisfied with the results, nor am I capable of making intricate face cards. See a sample card, the eight of scissors, on page 2 of the attached file "Pilatche_game.pdf"
Imagine Pilatche(TM) is a game that James Bond would feel at home playing.
Young adult and up. Card gamers, casual gamers, gamblers, casinos, tournament poker players. These people can be highly competitive, mathematically savvy, intuitive and social. My game emphasizes fun, ease of play, speed of play and an easy learning curve, while offering more strategy and player options.
Because card players are very sharp people with sharp eyes, these cards have to be designed in every way to prevent cheating. If a player sees part of an opponent's card out of the corner of his/her eye, as little as possible should be revealed about that card, if possible. The card backs should be symmetrical so that nobody can tell if a card is upside-down or not.
Also consider accessibility. Players who are color blind should have no disadvantage whatsoever when playing this game.
Players who have experienced both Poker and Pilatche(TM) recognize that Pilatche(TM) is "More Fun than Poker"(TM).
Pilatche(TM) has undergone over two years of player testing.
To learn about this game, please see attached file "Pilatche_game.pdf"
Design in small steps! Follow steps below. If your design is not eliminated after a day, try the next step.
1: Three suit icons: Rock (blue), Paper (green), and Scissors (red). These suit icons appear in differing quantities and sizes; they must scale well. Unlike poker suit icons, these do not necessarily have to be flat.
2: A few non-face cards (in the Ace-10 range). Show how both low and high cards will look. I may ask for a specific card.
3: One face card. See "Pilatche_Face_Cards.pdf." If not eliminated, all face cards and the joker. Only difference between high/low jokers - one is black and white. The other is colored. I will guarantee the prize once I see good face cards!
4: Card back - same for each card in a deck. Simple pattern, symmetrical - there is no "upside-down", in at least two color schemes.
5: Fit each card face in dimensions shown - "card_dimensions.pdf"
6: Clean packaging "Poker_Size_Tuck_Box.pdf"
7. One card face that promotes you as a designer! It will ship with every pack of cards I produce with your design on it! And my first order will be for over 5000 decks.
Everything needed: To specified dimensions, design for deck packaging and all 42 card faces. (3 suits each with 13 ranks, high/low Jokers, and card back). The card manufacturer will need files with the layers intact, CMYK color. Preferred formats: Illustrator, Photoshop, PDF, though most formats are acceptable.

Research Operations Manager
AnneRose W. Kaiya: The patient walks in through the door, and they experience amazing care. The people behind the scenes make that possible. It's really cool knowing that I'm the secret Santa, so to speak, every time a patient walks into Mayo Clinic, and I made a little difference to a patient whose face I don't know, but I know that they were happy because they come back.
We have so many resources available to us, so the fact that it's easy to do your job, I think is the best part of working at Mayo Clinic.
Speaking for myself, I have found an employer that I respect and love and I'm loyal to, and when I look at my children and I hope 10, 15 years from now when they're joining the workforce that they will work with an organization that respects them, that trusts them, that empowers them and that values them, because then they'll be the most successful people ever possible, and that's every mother's dream.
Medical Technologist
Charles S. Barmore IV: I love science. I love looking at things and trying to figure out how things work and the biological aspects of the body, and how they all function. So, yeah, I guess I am kind of a science geek.
Coming in, I was actually really nervous and really apprehensive about how I was going to do in such a prestigious place, but the people here just make it so much better and make it so much easier to just get in there and start working.
I think Mayo has a great environment for a workplace, and they promote individual thinking. The managers and the supervisors that you have are really, really great about telling you to go ahead and try to push for that, and try to think of new ways of doing things and new ways of improving things.
It does give you a sense of empowerment while you're working to know that you are respected as an employee, you are respected as an individual. It makes it a good place. It makes it fun.
Physician Assistant
Kyle M. Satterblom, P.A.-C.: "Where do you work?" "Oh, I work at the Mayo Clinic." That usually gets an eyebrow raised, or somebody turns a head or takes notice because they recognize the name. And the next question is "Well, how's that?" and "What's it like working at Mayo?" There's a certain amount of pride with just working at an institution that's so well renowned as Mayo.
There's a huge variety in my job, especially working with trauma patients, with acute care surgery patients, you really don't know what's going to walk through the door next. There's a certain amount of urgency, there's a certain amount of excitement or adrenaline that kind of comes along with that. I mean, a car accident patient comes in downstairs. We are assessing them within seconds of when they pulled in the door, and there's a whole group of people. And the adrenaline kind of gets going and the goal is to make sure that we care for the patient and manage their life-threatening injuries immediately.
I'm happy with my job. I feel like the role that I'm in, personally, I feel like I was made for it. It's just a good fit.
Registered Nurse
Eric A. Aguirre, R.N.: I started up on a thoracic floor, and then I moved into the ICU. At that time, I felt like I needed to go back to school and get my master's. I was able to take advantage of the tuition reimbursement, and that was the majority of it.
I worked in the surgical trauma ICU for about six years. I was a nurse educator for two years. You can move in so many places but yet still keep your seniority within Mayo. There are just so many things. If you want an office job, you can get an office job. If you wanted to work at a clinic, you know, those opportunities are there. So working here at Mayo, for me, is a life-changing career.
Leo Evans: Since I was a little kid, I've always been curious about what can you do to make something better. Basic research has been a history of Mayo's since they started back in the day of finding discoveries for the treatment of arthritis.
That continues today as Mayo looks for new inventions and new drug therapies for the care of patients, and sometimes, as a pharmacist, we're asked to come up with new formulations to help a physician administer a drug to a patient in a new way or a different way that hasn't been discovered. So that's an approach that, again, collaborating with physicians to help the advance of health care and patient care down the road.

While not as widely known as other popular design patterns like Singleton and Factory, the dependency injection pattern is a powerful programming methodology that allows you to define the way that one given class is going to accept additional objects that it requires to work as expected.
In the case of PHP 5, there are two major trends that most developers stick to when it comes to implementing dependency injection within a certain application: the first one relies on injecting the dependency of a class via its constructor, while the second approach does this, but by means of a setter method instead. Of course, both approaches use aggregation to deal with a class's dependency, since in this case, composition contradicts the schema imposed by the Inversion of Control principle.
All of these buzzwords should be pretty familiar to you at this point, because over the course of the tutorials that preceded this one I explained how to apply the dependency injection pattern. If you go back to the previous part of this series, then you'll recall that I left off discussing how to use the "injection by constructor" approach with a couple of basic classes.
In this specific example, the first of these classes was a simple MySQL handler, while the second one was a model class that required the functionality of the first to interact with a predefined MySQL table. This fictional scenario showed that it's very easy to combine the power of dependency injection with the benefits of the Model-View-Controller pattern within a single application.
However, as I said a moment ago, dependency injection can also be achieved with a setter method. So, in this installment I'm going to explain how to use this approach with the pair of sample classes previously mentioned.
Want to see how this will be done? Then begin reading!
{mospagebreak title=Review: the Model-View-Controller and Dependency Injection Patterns}
In the previous article of this series I discussed how to apply the dependency injection pattern via a constructor method, which was coded inside a model class. Below I reintroduced the complete definitions of the classes that comprised this example, starting with the source code corresponding to the MySQL database handler mentioned at the beginning.
Here's how this particular class was defined originally:
class MySQL
private $result = NULL;
private $link = NULL;
private static $instance = NULL;
// returns a singleton instance of MySQL class (chainable)
public static function factory($host, $user, $password, $database)
if (self::$instance === NULL)
self::$instance = new MySQL($host, $user, $password, $database);
return self::$instance;
// connect to MySQL
public function __construct($host, $user, $password, $database)
if (FALSE === ($this->link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $database)))
throw new Exception('Error : ' . mysqli_connect_error());
// perform query
public function query($query)
if (is_string($query) AND empty($query) === FALSE)
if (FALSE === ($this->result = mysqli_query($this->link, $query)))
throw new Exception('Error performing query ' . $query . ' Error message :' .mysqli_error($this->link));
// fetch row from result set
public function fetch()
if (FALSE === ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($this->result)))
return FALSE;
return $row;
// get insertion ID
public function getInsertID()
return mysqli_insert_id($this->link);
// count rows in result set
public function countRows()
if ($this->result !== NULL)
return mysqli_num_rows($this->result);
// implement destructor to close the database connection
function __destruct()
Certainly, there's not much to be said about the logic driving the previous "MySQL" class, since all that it does is build a simple abstraction layer that allows you to perform common operations against a selected MySQL database through a simple API. Period.
While analyzing the internals of the database handling class may be pretty boring for you, things will definitely become much more interesting when you look at the definition of the model below. It uses the functionality of "MySQL" for accessing a predefined "users" table. See for yourself how this process is accomplished:
class UserModel
private $db = NULL;
// constructor
public function __construct(MySQL $db)
$this->db = $db;
// get all users
public function getAll()
return $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users");
// get a single user
public function get($id = 1)
return $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '$id'");
// create/update user
public function save($data, $id = NULL)
if (is_array($data) && !empty($data))
if ($id === NULL)
$data = array_values($data);
$fields = "' . implode("','", $data) . "';
$this->db->query("INSERT INTO users (id, fname, lname, email) VALUES (NULL, $fields)");
$fields = ";
foreach ($data as $field => $value)
$fields .= $field . '=" . $value . ",';
$fields = substr($fields, 0, -1);
$this->db->query("UPDATE users SET $fields WHERE id=$id");
// delete user
public function delete($id = NULL)
if ($id !== NULL)
$this->db->query("DELETE FROM users WHERE id=$id");
Not too bad, huh? As shown before, the "UserModel" accepts an instance of the MySQL class, which is finally stored as a property, so it can be accessed by all of the model's methods.
Undeniably, the beauty of this approach is that it shows in a nutshell how a proper implementation of dependency injection can reveal the power of the Inversion of Control principle. This principle states that the context of an object is responsible for providing it with its dependencies, and not the inverse process.
So far, so good. Now that you've relearned how the two previous classes interact with each other, here's a basic script that demonstrates how to use them for running some CRUD operations against the "users" MySQL table. Take a look at it:
// create new instance of MySQL class
$db = new MySQL('host', 'user', 'password', 'database');
// inject instance of MySQL in the model via its constructor
$userModel = new UserModel($db);
// add new user
$userModel->save(array('fname' => 'Alejandro', 'lname' => 'Gervasio', 'email' => 'firstname.lastname@example.com'));
// update existing user
$userModel->save(array('fname' => 'Mary', 'lname' => 'Wilson', 'email' => 'firstname.lastname@example.com'), 1);
// delete existing user
Easy to code and read, isn't it? As this code fragment shows, it's very simple to combine the functionality of the MVC pattern and dependency injection to build a program that handles user-related database records.
However, as you can see above, the dependency, which in this case happens to be an instance of the "MySQL" class, is inputted into the model via its constructor. What if I show you how to achieve the same result by using a setter method instead?
Assuming that you're interested in learning how to accomplish this, in the following section I'm going to add the setter to the model class, thus implementing another handy variation of the dependency injection pattern.
Now, click on the link below and read the following segment, please.
{mospagebreak title=Applying dependency injection through a setter method}
As you may have guessed, applying the dependency injection pattern through a setter method with the user model class that you saw before is only a matter of coding the method in question, so it can take in an instance of the corresponding MySQL handler. It's that easy, really.
Nevertheless, to help you understand this process more quickly, below I listed the modified version of the "UserModel" class, which now includes this whole new method.
Study the following code sample, please:
class UserModel
private $db = NULL;
// constructor (not implemented)
public function __construct(){}
// setter for database handler
public function setDatabaseHandler(MySQL $db)
$this->db = $db;
// get all users
public function getAll()
return $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users");
// get a single user
public function get($id = 1)

See how simple it is to implement dependency injection via a setter method within the above model class? I bet you do! In this particular case, this brand new method, called "setDatabaseHandler()," plays the same role as the older constructor — that is, it accepts an instance of the "MySQL" class, which is finally stored as a property for further use.
At first sight, it seems that this approach requires you to write more code than when using a constructor, which is undeniably true. However, there are times when a class will need to take in multiple dependencies to work properly. In a case like this, a setter method might be the most appropriate option to use, but in the end, which approach to implement will depend on your own personal preferences.
Having already modified the definition of the previous "UserModel" class to make it accept its dependency via a setter method, the next step we must take is creating a script that shows this approach in action.
Therefore, in the final section of this tutorial I'm going to code that script for you, which hopefully will give you a more solid understanding of how to implement dependency injection by using a slightly different approach.
Now, go ahead and read the following segment, please. We're almost done!{mospagebreak title=Performing CRUD operations on user-related records}
As I said in the preceding segment, I'd like to finish this tutorial by showing you how the refactored version of the previous "UserModel" class can be used for inserting, updating and deleting records from its associated "users" MySQL table.
To do that, I coded a short script that shows how neatly dependency injection works when using the model's setter method. Here's the corresponding example code:
// create new instance of MySQL class
$db = new MySQL('host', 'user', 'password', 'database');
$userModel = new UserModel();
// inject MySQL instance in the model via its setter method
// add new user
$userModel->save(array('fname' => 'Alejandro', 'lname' => 'Gervasio', 'email' => 'email@example.com'));
// update existing user
$userModel->save(array('fname' => 'Mary', 'lname' => 'Wilson', 'email' => 'email@example.com'), 1);
// delete existing user
As seen above, once an instance of the "MySQL" class has been properly created, it's injected into the internals of the user model via the "setDataBaseHandler()" method, so it can perform CRUD operations against its targeted table.
Again, it's fair to point out that the approach that you'll use to apply dependency injection within your own PHP 5-based applications will depend on certain factors, including the number of dependencies required by class, the application's structure, and finally, your personal coding preferences.Final thoughts
In this fifth episode of the series, I explored the implementation of the dependency injection pattern by using a simple setter method within a model class. As you were able to see for yourself, this approach is very easy to follow, so I think you shouldn't have major problems putting it into practice.
In addition, it's worthwhile to say that another common case where dependency injection shines is when building polymorph objects via interfaces. That sounds hard to grasp, right? Well, fear not, because in the following article I'm going to teach you how to apply this useful concept to building a couple of database drivers in PHP 5.
Don't miss the next tutorial!

TO: All CSU Employees
FROM: Chancellor Charles B. Reed
RE: Beginning of the 2012-13 Academic Year
Welcome back to a new academic year at the California State University. This is an exciting time on our campuses as new and returning students begin another year of learning and reaching their goals. The CSU is more than 427,000 students strong, and each of these students brings a unique perspective and set of experiences. I am proud to be a part of such a diverse, dynamic, and life-changing institution.
During the past 14 years, I have seen the CSU open its 23rd campus; grow by more than 100,000 students; launch programs throughout the state to reach traditionally underserved students; and win national recognition for outreach, accountability, community service, "green" innovations, K-12 partnerships, and countless academic achievements. I have also been honored to sign more than a million diplomas for our graduates.
However, while our campuses all around the state continue to excel in serving students, it has been an especially difficult year in Sacramento. Facing a nearly $16 billion deficit, the legislature and the governor have adopted a state budget that keeps the CSU's budget essentially flat for this year, with one important caveat: If the governor's tax measure on the November ballot fails, the CSU will face an additional $250 million mid-year "trigger" cut. This means the CSU will have lost almost $1.2 billion or 39 percent of its state support since 2007-08.
To prepare for this possibility, the CSU has been meeting and holding consultative discussions with its stakeholders to gather input and feedback on budget options. If the CSU does face the $250 million "trigger" cut, we will have to look at a range of options including administrative efficiencies, student tuition fee increases, changes in health care benefits cost-sharing (subject to negotiation with employee bargaining units) and campus-specific strategies.
To say that this situation is frustrating and disappointing would be a massive understatement. I came to the CSU more than 14 years ago because I believed so strongly in the mission of the system. I truly feel that the CSU does more to uplift California's students and its future economy than any other institution in the state. Every dollar invested in the CSU brings back a phenomenal return for the state. The early authors of California's Master Plan for Higher Education understood this when they first created a role for the CSU system. I only wish that our current policymakers held true to the same ideals.
Although this is the last fall that I will be welcoming you back as chancellor, I expect to continue to be advocating both here in California and across the country for access and opportunity in public higher education. I urge all of you to continue to do the same. If the California State University has changed your life, enriched your career, or given you inspiration for the future, please share that with your legislators in Sacramento. I believe that they need to hear all of our voices – more than 2.5 million of us who have either attended the CSU or been involved in it in some way – to understand the true significance of this university system.
Thank you for all that you do to make the California State University such an outstanding institution.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
Ford's 2015 Mustang Debuts Worldwide
It's here!
After what literally amounts to years of speculation, conceptive renderings and "spy photos" posted on the Internet by Mustang enthusiasts worldwide, Ford has finally pulled the wraps off its long-awaited, highly secretive 2015 Mustang.
The '15 'Stang—code name: "S550"--made its online debut just after the stroke of midnight on December 5, 1013, with the lifting of a 3-week-long embargo against reporting on the new car.
Many of you stayed up late and caught the "midnight show" right here, becoming familiar with the new S550 'Stang through our Online Editor Amie Williams's breakdown of what's new, different and most-importantly, hot about the Pony we've all been waiting for.
However, official reveal activities took place roughly 10 hours later, with launch events held simultaneously in New York City, Los Angeles, Shanghai (China), Barcelona (Spain), and Sydney (Australia).
Senior Tech Editor KJ Jones was on hand with other Media at the West Coast reveal, held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.
KJ's photos of the LA launch event highlight this report. The 2015 Pony brings a bold, all-new "look" to Mustang—inside and out--along with a dual-ball-joint front end, and independent rear suspension as very-exciting standard equipment.
Under the hood, while an updated, 420-horsepower Coyote 5.0, or the returning 3.7-Liter are found in V-8 GTs and V-6 models, rumors about the addition of a 2.3-Liter, 305-horsepower, direct-port-injection, turbocharged EcoBoost engine are now confirmed. The forced-air-induced bullet is available as an option, that we think will definitely make driving the new 'Stang a lot of fun.
Impressions, of course, will vary from enthusiast to the next. However, after spending a morning looking the '15 Mustang over from stem to stern, we're somewhat hard pressed to find any real "bad (as in not-good)" qualities or traits. The car's strong, new, exterior/interior appearances are great, and when you consider its IRS coupled with any of the available powerplants, we're sure you will agree that the 2015 Mustang definitely is a "bad (as in good this time)" ride.
