Oman's official news agency says a plane arriving from Pakistan had a tire malfunction on landing in the country's capital.
The ONA report says one tire on the Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 737 suffered a "technical fault" late Monday after touching down at Muscat International Airport.
It says all 114 passengers and crew were safely taken off the plane.
Flights into the airport were temporarily disrupted, but were back to full operations Tuesday.
It was not immediately clear what had caused the tire malfunction.

Its been so long in between posts lately and sometimes i think i probably shouldnt bother but i do love sharing my makings with you guys. Ive been pretty busy with other things like painting my house (still) and Im on a mission to loose weight and get myself fit! I signed up for the 12wbt and am going to the gym 3 days a week (and loving it!), and four weeks in ive lost 5kg! Amazing - i tell you! Anyway the first couple of weeks i felt like crap and couldnt get anything done but now im starting to feel pretty good and have been busy at the machine....
I cut into my Children at Play fabric the other night and made up a little boys' "bunting quilt". The colours and prints in this fabric line are just gorgeous and have a vintagey feel to them.
I finished off this little quilt, im in love! I used some gorgeous japanese prints in this, with some Denyse Schmidt fabrics and a pink linen / cotton. Its got very simple quilting and a lovely purple/mauve chenille on the back. I tried something different with this quilt in putting rounded corners, which i thought could prove to be quite difficult but was really simple actually - you just need bias cut binding - i really love how its finished it off. I cant take credit for the design though, ive copied it from one of my favourite Japanese craft books - shameless i know!
....And lastly i have completed the quilting on Ella's quilt, just need to decide on a binding and its all good to go!
Hope you are getting in some crafty time...
enjoy your week!

Senators Step Up Pressure on CIA to Turn Over 'Zero Dark Thirty' Documents
The Hollywood Reporter -- Three senior U.S. senators who have assailed Oscar contender Zero Dark Thirty for alleged factual inaccuracies now are raising the possibility that the CIA might have misled director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal and are demanding that the agency turn over documents that could clarify the question.
Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz., have attacked the cinematic portrayal of the decadelong hunt for Osama bin Laden because they believe it suggests that information obtained by torturing Al Qaeda detainees aided in the search for the terrorist kingpin.

However, in a Dec. 19 letter to acting CIA director Michael Morell, the lawmakers expressed a concern that "given the CIA's cooperation with the filmmakers and the narrative's consistency with past public misstatements by former senior CIA officials, filmmakers could have been misled by information they were provided by the CIA." The senators went on to demand that the intelligence agency turn over to them "all information and documents provided to the filmmakers by CIA officials."
In a second letter sent Dec. 31, Feinstein, Levin and McCain responded to an unusual message Morrell sent to all CIA employees on Dec. 21. In that message, which was posted to the agency's website, the acting director stated that "some [intelligence related to bin Laden's location] came from detainees subjected to enhanced techniques, but there were many other sources as well."
Morell's statement irked Feinstein because it contradicts the Senate Intelligence Committee's recently released report, which concluded that no information obtained through torture played a constructive role in tracking bin Laden to the hiding place in Pakistan where he ultimately was killed by U.S. Navy SEALs. The Senate study was based on information from members of the CIA, including Morell.
The three lawmakers' second letter demands that the acting director provide them with any information obtained from CIA detainees subjected to so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques" and whether such information was provided prior to, during or after the detainee was subjected to torture.
STORY: Acting CIA Director Disputes 'Zero Dark Thirty' Accuracy in Rare Public Statement
The senators noted that Morrell has acknowledged in an e-mail that he personally met with the filmmakers for 40 minutes to provide "substance."
"Another publicly released CIA email states that 'As a [sic] Agency, we've been pretty forward-leaning with [the filmmaker], and he's agreed to share scripts and details about the movie with us so we're absolutely comfortable with what he will be showing,' " the senators wrote.
"Given the discrepancy between the facts above and what is depicted in the film, previous misstatements by retired CIA officials, as well as what appears to be the CIA's unprecedented cooperation with the filmmakers, we request that you provide the Committee with all information and documents provided to the filmmakers by CIA officials, former officials, or contractors, including talking points prepared for use in those meetings."
The texts of both letters from the senators were released late Thursday in Washington.
Sony, which is releasing Zero Dark Thirty in the U.S., declined to comment.

"My Gawd, They've Sold the Town"
How the happy combination of a millionaire and, a parson gave us Colonial Williamsburg, a place of surpassing loveliness—and a continuing reminder of what a truly bold enterprise our Revolution was
August/september 1981 | Volume 32, Issue 5
Several years before its creator died in 1960, Colonial Williamsburg underwent a certain amount of change. The aged Rockefeller's sons, John D. Rockefeller III and Winthrop, were far more politically minded than their almost utterly apolitical father. Through publications, celebrations, orientation lectures and films, they gradually reasserted the Goodwinesque side of Williamsburg, which is to say, Williamsburg as the scene of great events leading to a noble revolution. In recent years historical realism, firmly in the ascendancy, has made some alterations in Williamsburg's physical aspect. The working blacksmith's costume is appropriately grimy, there is an eighteenth-century brickyard, not very lovely, on the edge of town, and piles of hay in the fields. There is a somewhat rougher edge to the greens, the fences, the houses, and the paths than John D. Rockefeller, Jr., would have approved of.
Yet neither orientation films nor touches of realism can substantially alter Colonial Williamsburg or mend its split personality. Short of drastic and destructive renovation, Rockefeller's lovely green country town will always whisper subversive thoughts into its visitors' ears. How can it be otherwise in a place that celebrates a revolution yet enshrines in so masterly a fashion that spirit of order, decorum, and deference that that republican revolution destroyed. This is no petty contradiction but an important historical truth about the American Revolution: It was a revolt not only against British sovereignty but against the spirit of Williamsburg. Virginia's rebels knew exactly what they were doing when they moved the government out of the town back in 1780.

Respiratory Infection in cat - Clavamox
Hi members,
Anyone have experience with Respiratory Infections in cats and Clavamox? Baci (4 year old neutered sphynx cat) is on Clavamox now (for a respiratory infection that we can easily hear when he gets excited but that the vet could not hear when he was paralyzed with fear in front of her). He gets 2 pills each day of 62.5mg Clavamox....but the gunk inside his lungs (we think) seems to be taking a long time to clear. He's been on it for a full week and you can hear (sounds a bit phlegmy) that he's still having occasional trouble with easy breathing when he gets excited. When He's settled he's fine. Although less often now, he will still sneeze 15-25 times in a row at least once a day. Carmy loves the mucous and other beautiful substances that are now landing everywhere- -lemme tell ya. He's supposed to be on the meds for 3 weeks. We will likely call the vet in the next day or so but was wondering if members had any advice on this. Thx!

This we site said URI is airborne and other health cats can get it. I was wondering could your record your cat breathing so the vet could hear that way? I took my last dog to the vet because he has not eaten for two days and he ate for the vet . My vet told he see pets do this all the time , as soon as the pet get to the vet they say "look I am fine I am eating , now can I go home?" |
Have you ever used Lysine ? Maybe it would be helpfull for future issues with Baci to build up his immune system? just a thought?? good luck! Cindy

It's probably viral, not bacterial and therefore Clavamox will not help.
I would try the Lysine as Winston suggested, but normally viral infections have to run it's course.

need some help with the following statement. i'm trying to use it to detect from my database if there is more than ONE row where sku='$sku' AND inStock='yes' ie.
ROW SKU inStock
1 1234 yes
2 1234 yes
3 1234 no
In this case it will return rows 1 & 2, but not 3 as it is listed as not in stock.
Code:SELECT sku,inStock,COUNT(*) as total FROM products WHERE sku='$sku' AND inStock='yes' GROUP BY sku,inStock HAVING total > 1 ORDER BY search, save

Just in case the HAVING clause doesn't let you use a column in the select, then you can use COUNT(*) and that will definitely work. And, I'm not really sure what the point of your ORDER BY is, that won't do anything for you.
Excuse me, but what is the POINT in returning the inStock field when you *KNOW* that the value is going to be "yes", because that's what is in you WHERE clause???
For that matter, what's the point in returning the sku field? Again, you are only going to get one value there.
Code:SELECT COUNT(*) as total FROM products WHERE sku='$sku' AND inStock='yes' HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
And as Fumigator said, your ORDER BY clause makes no sense. The only field you COULD do ORDER BY is the sku field, but since this query will return only ZERO or ONE records, there's no point in any ORDER BY, at all.
Also, my personal opinion is that you should get rid of the HAVING clause.
Reason: It's going to be easier to know that you will always have one record, and then use your PHP code to check the COUNT() value. Simpler than doing the EOF check, really.
So I would just do
Code:SELECT COUNT(*) as total FROM products WHERE sku='$sku' AND inStock='yes'

One of the liveliest women journalists ever produced in Wales, Hafina Clwyd wrote perceptively and sometimes provocatively in both Welsh and English, often focusing on personalities making the news but sometimes on topics nearer her heart such as broadcasting, the press and cultural matters. Her weekly column in the Western Mail, the "national newspaper of Wales", was always worth reading, as was her radio and television column in Y Cymro, the weekly Welsh-language newspaper. Some of her most entertaining pieces, deliciously waspish, caused sparks to fly, but the reader was always left with the impression that she meant precisely what she said and was prepared to stand by it. This taste for controversy and a willingness to raise the hackles of the pompous and complacent went hand-in-hand with a more academic trait in her personality which found expression in her keen interest in local history and genealogy.

By the time Barack Obama takes the hottest seat on the planet – the one behind the oak and mahogany desk in the White House's Oval Office – his presidential in-tray will be groaning under the weight of America's considerable ills.

The secret paranoia of former statesmen. The former Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson memorably told two journalists: "I see myself as a big fat spider in the corner of the room. Sometimes I speak when I'm asleep. You should both listen. Occasionally when we meet, I might tell you to go to the Charing Cross Road and kick a blind man standing on the corner. That blind man may tell you something, lead you somewhere."
In 1960 the newly appointed Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Charing Cross Hospital Medical School gave a lecture that greatly annoyed the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The professor was Norman Morris and in his lecture, "Human Relations in Obstetric Practice", he argued that medical advances over the past 25 years made childbirth less hazardous, but that many serious gaps remained in doctors' understanding of their patients' emotional condition during pregnancy and labour.

American Airlines Asks Court to Approve US Airways Merger
David McLaughlinAMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines, asked the judge overseeing its bankruptcy case to approve its $11 billion merger with US Airways Group Inc. to create the world's largest carrier.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in Manhattan is scheduled on March 27 to consider approving the agreement filed yesterday. The merger will take effect through a bankruptcy plan that hasn't been proposed yet.
"The combination of the two airlines will result in superior value for all stakeholders," American said in its filing.
Fort Worth, Texas-based American and US Airways, based in Tempe, Arizona, announced the merger last week. US Airways began its pursuit of a deal in January 2012, less than two months after AMR filed for bankruptcy.
The combined company would operate under the American Airlines name. US Airways Chief Executive Officer Doug Parker will be CEO of the merged company, while AMR CEO Tom Horton will be chairman through its first annual meeting.
The agreement, which has the backing of creditors holding about $1.2 billion in claims, can be terminated by either company if the merger hasn't been consummated by Oct. 14. That deadline can be extended to Dec. 13 under certain circumstances, American said. The deadline for filing objections to the merger is March 15.
The closing of the merger and the effectiveness of American's bankruptcy plan will occur together, American said in court papers. The carrier has an April 15 deadline for filing the reorganization plan in court. It said a plan hasn't been negotiated with the committee representing unsecured creditors in the bankruptcy case.
The case is in re AMR Corp., 11-15463, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

We had been on the market for a new washer for a while when we visited the Matag site and used the product finder. This helped us narrow down the search and we finally settled on the 6000 model. What an improvement from our old washer that was an LG model. I love the way the clothes are clean and how they spin out the water to the point of almost being dry. What a HUGE incentive for saving electricity! I love the new washer and would recommend it to anyone who is on the market.

Unless this washer is loaded it has major issues with balancing to spin. I have had 2 Neptune washers that I loved and replaced with this washer. I am ready for a nervous breakdown by the time it gets done sensing and sometimes it still hasn't spun out when the cycle is finished. Off to the laundromat.

We bought this 5 years ago. Today was the 2nd time it has needed a Major repair--it just stops working and has different codes that come on. Sometimes unplugging it will fix it, and other times it doesn't. It doesn't even do a great job of cleaning, I have had to rewash clothes many times. And if you want to do a heavy load, forget it--it won't wring out half the time. (yes it has a heavy load cycle) And sadly, unlike my indestructible Neptune, it doesn't have the MaxExtract™ Spin option.Today's estimate was $450 plus the $120 service call.I say no more.By the way, this machine was used for two people, myself and my husband. Should've lasted for ages. I'm extremely disappointed.
This washer is bad, bad, bad, problems all the time.

Bought this unit in 2012 from Home Depot. Have spent over $500.00 on repairs, (doing it myself.) First: a rip in the door gasket. Second: the MCU went out. 8 month's later the User interface would not work. Found this out when we came home from a 2 week + trip. (Nice Maytag!) Used to be the best units. Now nothing but trouble

Washes Clothes, Mostly A Warrant Selling Machine

It washes clothes. When it runs. Ours just turned 5 and has needed two repairs - one small, one on-going to fix an error preventing it from even functioning.Long story short, it stopped pumping in water and spinning one day. After the usual YouTubing/Googling, I called Maytag thinking they could help. The "technician"'s only tip: unplug it and plug it back on. Some tip. The only thing he did find was that I qualified for some magical, limited-time warranty. I just wanted the thing fixed so I rolled the dice and gave in.Now, just because this warranty covers parts and labor for a year doesn't mean you'll get anything done with any sense of urgency. The process goes like this after you buy the warranty:Maytag schedules a repairman to come outRepairman diagnoses machine, orders parts if needed, submits bill to insuranceInsurance (warranty) company needs 3-5 days to approve the parts/recommendations (no telling what happens if you're denied)Parts ship (can take up to 45 days!) and repairman can come back once he's got themIf it's now fixed, congrats. If not, rinse and repeat (at a friend's house of course)When this machine worked, it worked. Nothing fancy, nothing mind-blowing, nothing keeping me from trying another brand in the future. It. Just. Washes. Clothes. I rated it 2 stars because I used to associate Maytag with quality and expected it to be trouble-free for a lot longer than this. The warranty and service departments don't ask for reviews because they'd owe me stars at this point.Here's hoping I win the sweepstakes and get a free washer. Maybe it'll be a Samsung.

faulty part
By Rick
from Nolensville TN
Bought in Sept 2011 - worked fine for 2 years since then I have replaced the same part FIVE times (water inlet switch). Where's the recall??? Switched to an LG top loader and so far love it!
Very Disappointing
By Disappointed Owner
from Marquette, MI
Bought this machine 3yrs ago to replace my aging maytag top loader. The motor control board blow out to the tune of $220, and that's was doing it myself..can imagine $300-$400 if it was a service call.

I purchased a GE Front load washer/dryer a few years ago and cant explain the disappointment I had with it. JUNK!!Then my MAYTAG arrived and just the machine itself is built better but my clothes have never smelled so clean. THANKS MAYTAG
By Rog 2016
from Canada ontario
This washer and dryer set are the worst. dryer broke after year and half cost over 300 for repair and washer wouldn't work after 3 years. first problem was e1 f6 got repairman to take a look cleaned hidden filter then it worked for few weeks. same thing happened 2 weeks ago this time it wouldn't work and repairman told me it is comunication problem and there is no way to tell between 2 computer board which is not working. I don't think it should be advertised as a commercial heavy duty made in the US. This is not the quality I was expecting from a reputable company. When Looked on the internet it turned out it is a common problem. I think they should recall it or offer discounted extended warranty.

I would appreciate advice on the following Multi-Server setup (do you have better ideas on a starter multiserver setup?): 4 servers: - Admin (first) server is also the primary DNS server - Secondary DNS server (only needs myDNS on it), no ISPConfig - Mail server - Web Server Do I need to install everything on the Admin (first) server or can I just install what I need for admin and obviously myDNS to be a dns server? I assume there is a MySQL database that stores the all the ISPConfig data. Are the table formats available? Any advice anyone has would be appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Just install what you need. In this case apache, php, mysql and mydns. ISPConfig uses mysql. The database table definition is in the install/sql/ folder of the installer. But do not install it manually, this is all done by the installer. You have to install mysqlm on all nodes. ISPConfig is doing the replication. Do not try to use just one database, it will fail! Install the master in standard mode, then install the slaves in expert mode and select that you want to join the master. Make sure that every node "knows" every other node in dns. The easiest way to achieve this is to add all nodes to the hosts file of all other nodes.

In the wake of a Black Friday in which the average shopper spent more than $365, up about $22 from last year, gift givers are now expected to flock online, lured by tantalizing deals from retailers. The trend of buying online is expected to increase 10 percent over last year, according to CNN.
And that's a good thing for both businesses and consumers looking for bargains, Gordon Von Stroh, a University of Denver professor of management, tells 9News. What might not be so good is that "most Cyber Monday shopping happens in the workplace." Last year, 60 percent of online purchases were made on the job, but Von Stroh says it is better if companies tolerate the distraction rather than try to fight it. "The employer has to realize that this institution is here; it's not going away," he says.

SICL keeps Yorkshire Air Ambulances flying
SICL has renewed its services and support agreement with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) to provide £170,000 worth of hardware and services to the charity through 2018
SICL has renewed its services and support agreement with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) to provide £170,000 worth of hardware and services to the charity through 2018.
The Leeds-based Cisco partner has been providing IT support and services gratis for the past five years, having previously supported the organisation as its chosen charity.
SICL reckons it has saved the charity over £125,000 in that time, and the renewal of the agreement provides for a needed expansion of the charity's IT infrastructure. The firm also gets to feature its logo on YAA's two helicopters, G-SASH and G-CEMS, which are based at Leeds Bradford International and RAF Topcliffe.
YAA operations manager Neale Jacobs said that the sum of £170,000 would be enough to keep the organisation's fleet airborne for three weeks. According to its own statistics, YAA has to raise £7,200 every day to keep its head above the water.
"We have to fundraise each and every day of the year to keep the charity running, so savings of this nature really are significant and allow us to spend donated funds on keeping both of the helicopters maintained and in the air," said Jacobs.
SICL managing director Cliff Fox added: "We have a great admiration for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, operationally, personally and ethically. We're all very proud to support the YAA< who save lives in the region in which we live and work."

While I know how to tell if a string matches a pattern, what I want is to get certain portions of the string back in an array. For example:
pattern: 'catalog/[0-9]+/entry/[0-9]+/edit'string: 'catalog/12/entry/45/edit'
What I need to get is the values of each variable block in order to use them:
array(12, 45)
How would I go about doing this? preg_match just returns the entire string. Sorry I am such a dunderhead when it comes to regex. =/
Maybe one of these can help.
Still trying to figure them out myself.....
$pattern = '#([0-9]{1,2})#'; // change 2 to 3 for numbers up to 999 $string = 'catalog/12/entry/45/edit'; preg_match_all($pattern, $string, $matches); var_dump( $matches[0]); //array // 0 => string '12' (length=2) // 1 => string '45' (length=2)
Thanks, that was close enough that I could compose an answer. However, I need the static parts to be validated as part of the match, so I had to use "#Admin/Author/([0-9]+)/Book/([0-9]+)/Edit#" as the pattern. The reason is because the pattern "#Admin/Publisher/([0-9]+)/Book/([0-9]+)/Edit#" means something completely different, even though it has the same two variable blocks. But it works, so I'm good now. Thanks.
Oh, right, I had removed all of that stuff to make it more generic ....
On a side note you could name those pattern matches like so...
preg_match_all("Admin/Author/(?P<author_id>[0-9]+)/Book/(?P<book_id>[0-9]+)/Edit", $string, $matches);
Which would allow you to access the two matches using a key rather than int:
//array// 0 => '1'// 1 => '2'// 'author_id' => '1'// 'book_id' => '2'
I had long forgotten that, thanks for the reminder Lobsterdore! Nice one.
Wow, thanks, that's even better than what I had! =)
Now, is there a preg function to reverse this? For example, take the pattern, and an assoc array of keys/values and get a full url?
$vars = array('authorid' => 132,'bookid' => 5);
$pattern = "Admin/Author/(?P<author_id>[0-9]+)/Book/(?P<book_id>[0-9]+)/Edit";
// call some method and get
$result = "Admin/Author/132/Book/5/Edit";
Thanks in advance.
$result = "Admin/Author/{$vars['authorid']}/Book/{$vars['bookid']}/Edit"; You don't use Regex for that.
$result = "Admin/Author/{$vars['authorid']}/Book/{$vars['bookid']}/Edit";
You don't use Regex for that.
Um no. It has to be a routine that will work with any pattern/var-array. I won't know ahead of time what the var names in the pattern are. What I want is, foreach var as key => val, if key_is_in_pattern then replace....see what I mean? Sure, if it were just this one known pattern it'd be easy.
Let me elaborate on what I'm trying to do...
class Route { private $_pattern; private $_controller; private $_action; private $_vars; public function __construct($pattern, $controller, $action) { $this->_pattern = $pattern; $this->_controller = $controller; $this->_action = $action; } public function IsMatch($url) { return preg_match('#' . $this->_pattern . '#', $url, $this->_vars); } public function BuildUrl(array $vars) { // dis be havin no code mon, ya mind slapping a bit a mojo here? // $vars be an assoc array, which should be matchin da pattern vars // exception out if dey not match... } public function GetVar($key) { return $this->_vars[$key]; } // ... }
If they're always integer values, you could easily use str_replace, since the pattern is pre-determined.
foreach ($vars as $key=>$value)$pattern = str_replace('(?P<'.$key.'>[0-9]+)', $value, $pattern)
Or am I not understanding the issue?
You got it. But what I think I may do is something more like this, so that any regex block can be used for a given variable:
$routeCollection->Add( "Admin_Book_Edit", // route name new Route( "Admin/Author/{authorid}/Book/{bookid}/Edit", // the pattern with var stand-ins array( // the regex needed to validate the pattern as well as values incoming to the BuildUrl method 'authorid' => '[0-9]+', 'bookid' => '[0-9]+' ), "Book", // controller to use "Edit", // action to use "Admin" // area to use ) );
This decouples the validation from the actual variable in a way that would allow me to build a proper regex for url comparison and for url building.
I have not tested this...don't currently have PHP installed for testing at the moment.Made use of preg_quote to protect against rogue special characters.
<?php class Route { protected $sourcePattern, $parsedPattern, $defaults, $options; public function __construct ( $pattern, array $defaults = [], array $requirements = [], array $options = [] ) { // Process $pattern $this->sourcePattern = $pattern; $pattern = preg_replace_callback( '~\\\\\\{([-\\w\\d_]+)\\\\\\}~', function ( $match ) use ( $requirements ) { if ( isset( $requirements[ $match[1] ] ) ) return sprintf( '(?P<%s>%s)', $match[1], $requirements[ $match[1] ] ); return sprintf( '(?P<%s>[^/\\\\\\\\]+)', $match[1] ); }, preg_quote( $pattern, '~' ) ); $this->parsedPattern = "~$pattern~"; $this->defaults = $defaults; $this->options = $options; } public function buildURI ( array $params ) { $output = preg_replace_callback( '~\\{([-\\w\\d_]+)\\}~', function ( $match ) use ( $params ) { if ( isset( $params[ $match[1] ] ) ) return $params[ $match[1] ]; return $match[0]; // No match }, $this->sourcePattern ); return $output; } } # PHP 5.4 array syntax, swap for array() for version less then 5.4 $r = new Route( 'Admin/Author/{authorid}/Book/{bookid}/Edit', [ 'controller' => 'Book', 'action' => 'Edit', 'area' => 'Admin' ], [ 'authorid' => '\\d+', 'bookid' => '\\d+' ], [] ); $u = $r->buildURI( [ 'authorid' => 20, 'bookid' => 100 ] );
Thanks. I'll take a look at that tomorrow, but just so you will know, the controller and action values will never be variables in my system. I prefer a much more granularly defined set of routes, leaving only true variables. These variables will usually ( but not always ) be ids of some sort, for which a reasonable default value cannot be set, therefore, I don't entertain the concept of default values either.
Well sure...that is handled by the pattern you use, as long as there is no {controller} with in the pattern its static and does exactly what you said you want. I just didn't want to put dedicated method parameters for those. Instead used an array. Does the same thing you want, but is also overloadable.
Could also add a second form of syntax to your patterns, one that does not define variables by static input "controller", "action", "area". Then you won't have to repeat those in a method call, already defined in the pattern. DRY etc.
Hey logic_earth, thanks for actually discussing this and not just tossing out code. It's been a while since I've actually had a proper discussion. If you will, allow me to explain my stance on this.
Take the following urls:
While I could use a generic pattern like "{controller}/{action}/{id}" there are problems with this approach. For starters, the pattern will resolve as a match for Book/Retire/42, which doesn't make sense. While true that post resolution error checking will catch this, I find it a rather unacceptable scenario.
Consider how these would be registered:
$routes-Add( 'route_name', '{controller}/{action}/{id}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'author|book', 'action' => 'list|add|edit|remove|publish|retire|retitle|rename' ) );
As you can see, there is no consideration for which action values are paired with which controller. The only solution is to make two routes:
$routes-Add( 'author', 'Author/{action}/{id}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'author', 'action' => 'list|add|edit|remove|retire|rename' ) ); $routes-Add( 'book', 'Book/{action}/{id}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'book', 'action' => 'list|add|edit|remove|publish|retitle' ) );
Now, things make a bit more sense. But as you can see, the idea of a more granular style of routing is beginning to creep in. The next issue is that not all of the given actions will require an id. While most commercial systems account for this, in coding my own, I found it difficult to make considerations for the trailing '/' separator. Assuming I can't justify the extra time and coding required, we need more routes:
$routes-Add( 'author_with_id', 'Author/{action}/{id}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'author', 'action' => 'edit|remove|retire|rename' ) ); $routes-Add( 'author_without_id', 'Author/{action}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'author', 'action' => 'list|add' ) ); $routes-Add( 'book_with_id', 'Book/{action}/{id}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'book', 'action' => 'edit|remove|publish|retitle' ) ); $routes-Add( 'book_without_id', 'Book/{action}', null, // no reasonable defaults array( 'controller' => 'book', 'action' => 'list|add' ) );
We've now become much more granulated than we started out. But there is one last issue that really stands out. When integrating legacy code, we often come across controller and action names that do not follow proper conventions. We could spend some time refactoring this code, but depending on how large the code base is, it would probably be a lot easier to simple remap things such that our urls can be used without changing anything except the mapping code. In the above examples, the controller builder would look for AuthorController and BookController respectively. In order to decouple a given url from the intended controller and action, we must also remove these dependencies from the pattern. Doing so forces us to create a route for each controller/action combination we have in the system. This is not entirely unreasonable. If you think about how we handle dependency injection, mapping a particular interface to a particular class, then it makes sense to map a particular url to a particular controller and action. While increasing the number of routes we must define, it greatly reduces the complexity of the code, internal to the router itself.
// simple mapping with one variable $routes->Add( 'book_publish', 'Book/{bookId}/Publish', array('bookId' => '\\d+') 'Book', 'Publish' ); // remapping a controller and action $routes->Add( 'customer_remove', 'Customer/{customerId}/Remove', array('customerId' => '\\d+') 'Cust', // using legacy controller name 'Delete' // using legacy action name );
One final note is that most commonly available systems are written with general development in mind. They simply can not afford to make any assumptions on coding standards, methodologies, and conventions. However, these system are laden with code and conventions that may never be used in a professional environment, as most companies will define their own standards and code around them.
Hopefully, with all this mind, you can now understand why I see no reason to entertain the notion of default values for pattern variables, or including controller and action as variables in a pattern.
Sorry to bother you guys again, but I need more help. Yeah, I know, I'm a retard...
Given the pattern: foo/{fid}/bar/{bid}/wootI want to get an array that merely includes the text in the {} in a non-assoc array.
preg_match_all('#{([a-z][A-Z])+}#', $pattern, $matches) just doesn't work. =/
I have NO CLUE what I'm doing here...
The purpose is to build a list of expected substitutions.
$matches should contain 'fid' and 'bid', without the {}'s.

Well, this is interesting. As some rumours already suggested, Google and Verizon have released a joint proposal for a legislative framework regarding net neutrality. This being Google and all, some of you may expect this to be all flower-farting unicorns darting across rainbows, but sadly, that's not the case. This proposal? Well, it's not good.

If this arrangement between Google and Verizon is allowed to stand unchallenged, we can expect more such deals from competing major players.
Not only will net neutrality be dead, we'll exist within a complex, uneven playing field of different service levels and communications rules.
The US government (FCC) needs to step up to the plate and enforce a net neutrality similar to what we expect with phone service. Pres. Obama specifically promised this during the presidential campaign. For the sake of our future internet, I hope he holds to his promise.

Apple Says You Need To Be 17+ To Use Opera Mini
- 17
Apple may have let Opera Mini into the App store, but it is hardly allowing it to flourish. Apple has marked Opera Mini as containing "age-restricted materials," forcing users to confirm to be at least 17 years old.
Why the demarcation as an application that may titillate? Apple is in effect saying that you can find porn using Opera Mini, and therefore it needs to be restricted. This continues a trend between Apple and porn, with Apple fending off pornography wherever it can. Steve Jobs recently said that his products offer "Freedom from porn."
"We're hunting for awesome startups"
Run an early-stage company? We're inviting 250 to exhibit at TNW Conference and pitch on stage!
Adding to the mix, Apple has a history of blocking applications that either replicate, or replace functionality that the iPhone offers out of the box. Getting Opera Mini (Opera's mobile browser) into the App store was a challenge in its own right. Labeling it 17+ is just ridiculous.
How so? Here is a little secret, every iPhone has porn built right in, it's called Safari. Sure, Apple killed the devices access to most pornography by eliminating Flash, but not all. You can view porn in Safari; ask any 14 year old male with an iPhone, he'll even show you how.
This makes the labeling of Opera as dangerous rather unfair. Not only does Opera have to compete against a browser that is already built into the phone, but also has to fend off scary-looking labels. Whatever porn problem Opera Mini may have (also known as the ability to browse), Safari has as well. Best to drop the warning from Opera, or add it to Safari's first run on the iPhone.
Steve Jobs may be the Valley's hero this decade, but he is also our biggest prude. The irony of the situation is that by moving tens of millions of people to smart phones and mobile browsing, he single-handedly kick-started the mobile porn business. Well done, Steve.

Vale Steps Up Divestments as Brazil Tax Deadline Looms
Juan Pablo SpinettoVale SA, the largest iron-ore exporter, agreed to its second asset divestment this week, bringing this year's total sales to at least $3 billion, as a deadline to settle a tax dispute with Brazil approaches.
Vale signed an agreement to sell 20 percent stakes in two natural gas exploration blocks in Brazil's Parnaiba basin to GDF Suez SA, the French supplier said in a statement today, without disclosing the accord's value. That follows Vale's divestment this week of a stake in aluminum maker Norsk Hydro ASA for $1.82 billion.
The miner based in Rio de Janeiro is selling lower return assets, putting projects on hold and focusing on its more profitable iron-ore unit in a bid to boost profit margins and regain investors' confidence after shares fell to a four-year low in July. In September, it sold stakes in a cargo unit for about 2.7 billion reais ($1.2 billion) to Japan's Mitsui & Co. and a Brazilian government fund.
"It may be getting ready for the tax claim settlement," Rodrigo Garcilazo, an equity analyst at GBM Grupo Bursatil Mexicano SA, said by telephone from Santiago, Chile. "The timing so close to the deadline doesn't seem to be a coincidence."
While Vale had previously indicated the divestment of the Norsk Hydro stake and oil and gas assets, the announcement is attracting attention before the Nov. 29 Brazil tax settlement deadline on a 30.5 billion-real dispute, Garcilazo said.
Cargo Stakes
Vale is in exclusive talks with Canada's Brookfield Asset Management Inc. to sell an additional 26 percent of the cargo unit, known as VLI, which may generate about 2 billion reais if the accord is completed on terms similar to the sale to Mitsui. That would bring Vale's divestments in 2013 to at least $3.8 billion, more than double last year's $1.47 billion of sales, which included a coal mine in Colombia and 10 large vessels.
Vale has enough time to make a decision on the possible tax settlement before the deadline, Chief Executive Officer Murilo Ferreira told reporters on Nov. 7, when he also said the company expects to conclude the VLI sale stake to Brookfield before year-end. The company confirmed the sale of the gas blocks to GDF in a statement to Bloomberg News today, without providing details. GDF Suez, based in Courbevoie, France, didn't reply to an e-mail seeking comment on the value of today's accord.
Separately, Vale also said today it completed the sale of all of its 22 percent stake in Norsk Hydro after an over-allotment option of 40.7 million shares in the Oslo-based firm was exercised at 25 kroner ($4.04) each. The company on Nov. 12 sold 407.1 million shares of Norsk Hydro for the same price.
Vale rose 1.1 percent to close at 32.40 reais in Sao Paulo. GDF Suez lost 0.5 percent to 18.535 euros in Paris. Norsk Hydro closed little changed at 25.66 kroner in Oslo.

Mandy Moore stars as Hilary Faye in "Saved!" Diyah Pera photo. |
July-August 2004
(RNS)—A conservative, Christian high school is the setting for Hollywood's most recent experiment in religious films.
"Saved!"—which co-stars Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin and Jena Malone—has stirred controversy due to its light-hearted script that parodies evangelical Christians and explores controversial themes such as teenage pregnancy, homosexuality and social acceptance.
"It makes you re-evaluate your faith," Culkin says. "It's a movie that asks you to question your own faith and to second-guess yourself. I think that's one of those things that anyone, not only me, can take away from it."
The film centers on the lives of a group of high school students who are coming to grips with the evangelical views of the social structure around them.
Concerned about a fellow classmate who thinks he might be gay, "good girl" Hilary Faye (Moore) holds a prayer meeting for him. Meanwhile, the boy's girlfriend, Mary (Malone), ends up pregnant, leading her and others to question the complexities of faith, long-held values and the beliefs of their classmates. Culkin plays Hilary Faye's wheelchair-bound brother, Roland, who befriends Mary.
"I loved Mary," Malone said of her character. "She's a normal girl who's grown up with this specific faith [and] this foundation is starting to crack around her."
Directed and co-written by Brian Dannelly, the script reflects some of the religious experiences he and co-writer Michael Urban had while growing up.
"The biggest lesson I learned from my experiences became a line in the script: ÔThey can't all be wrong and they can't all be right,'" Dannelly says.
Urban, who grew up in a traditional Southern Baptist home, says, "Sometimes things are twisted and exploited in the name of religion or God. I wanted to explore that."
But not everyone agrees with this type of exploration. During the making of the movie, a Lutheran church and a local homeowner backed out of providing sites for the fi lm after looking at the script. Afraid of upsetting fans, a Christian music label prohibited a popular Christian rock band from performing in the film.
"Obviously some things are exaggerated for comedic effect," Mandy Moore says. "But the message of this film is not about mocking Christians. It isn't anti-anything at all. It is about discovering who you are and what you believe in."
The film's producer, Sandy Stern, contends the film portrays a timely view of American teens' receptivity to religion.
"Something is going on in the world right now that we haven't quite seen—Christianity has become a multibillion dollar industry," Stern says. "With war, September 11, Columbine, drugs, AIDS, terrorism—with everything we're faced with—people are turning to religion. É With ÔSaved!' we're trying to show how teenagers are using religion as a way to cope in their day-to-day world."

Example: Origin: This expression became known in the West as a slogan that Mao's Chinese communist state used against their opponents, particularly the US government. It appears as one of the quotations, or as he preferred to call them 'supreme directives' in the Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong - better known as The Little Red Book, first published in 1964: "Imperialism and All Reactionaries Are Paper Tigers" Mao didn't coin the phrase; it had been an idiom in the Chinese language for some time.

2015 jeep wrangler-unlimited Model Overview
New for 2015
The 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited gains a new Torx Tool Kit and eight-speaker audio system as standard equipment. New optional features include a premium Alpine audio system with nine speakers, and a Black Steel and 31-inch Dueler Tire Package. Three new special edition models have been added for 2015: the Freedom Edition, Willys Wheeler Edition, and the Rubicon Hard Rock Edition. The Hard Rock Edition is specifically tailored for improved off-road performance and includes electronic locking front and rear axles with a 4:10 ratio, Tru-Lok locking differentials, a crawl ratio of 73.1:1, and17-inch wheels with off-road tires.
Vehicle Summary
The 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the four-door version of the Wrangler SUV. Chrysler's 3.6-liter V-6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque is the only powertrain available and is paired with a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy isn't a strong point at 16/21 mpg city/highway with the manual and 16/20 mpg with the automatic.
Off-roading remains the Wrangler's forte even in the four-door Unlimited variant thanks to its chassis, which includes a disconnecting front sway bar, Dana 44 front and rear axles in the Rubicon variant (all other variants have Dana 30 front axles), front and rear locking differentials, and a low gear transfer case. This enables the SUV to traverse virtually any road surface including rock, dirt, gravel, mud, and snow; however, this comes at the cost of on-road performance because of the Wrangler's slow steering and sloppy handling. Interior fit and finish is decent and feels well-put-together. There's plenty of room for four passengers and up to 70.6 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats folded versus the two-door Wrangler's 56.5 cubic feet. When the rear seats are in place, the Wrangler Unlimited has 31.5 cubic feet of space, 19.5 cubic feet more than the two-door Wrangler.
The 2015 Wrangler Unlimited received a three-star rollover safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) and a Marginal score in two categories and Good in the moderate overlap front test in IIHS evaluations. (Good is the highest possible score.)
What We Think
Since the addition of a more powerful V-6 engine in the 2012 model year, the Wrangler Unlimited has become a more capable off-road vehicle. In a comparison test against the Toyota FJ Cruiser, we said that the Wrangler "feels unstoppable" off the pavement and is able to navigate through the most technical trails with ease. But the SUV's off-road prowess comes at the cost of on-road driving dynamics. While the Wrangler is relatively stable on pavement, in a 2014 First Test review, we noted that its slow steering response "will make you second-guess any aggressive lane changes." Additionally, there's plenty of tire noise entering the cabin due to the SUV's off-road tires.
You'll Like
- Exceptional off-road capabilities
- V-6 engine provides plenty of power
- Spacious interior
You Won't Like
- Slow steering response
- Not that fuel efficient
- Plenty of tire noise when driving on pavement

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was the biggest draw for the franchises with Chennai Super Kings buying him for a whopping Rs 9.72 crore but struggling veteran VVS Laxman found no takers in the players' auction for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League. Live blog
The 23-year-old, whose base price was $100,000, went to Chennai after the tie-breaker clause was invoked when two teams - CSK and Deccan Chargers - bid the maximum ($2million) for the Saurashtra player.
Both the franchises were asked to bid a secret amount in the tie-breaker and it was Chennai which managed to outbid Deccan in the final round.
But the cricketer himself will be paid $950,000 as per the contract he had signed with the now-disbanded Kochi Tuskers Kerala last year and even the secret amount that was bid on him by Chennai would go into the BCCI coffers.
Laxman, in contrast, expectedly remained unsold after a string of poor performances on the tours of England and Australia.
Laxman started his IPL stint as Deccan Chargers captain in 2008 but at 37 right now, age and reputation of being a Test specialist could also have been factors for the franchises' snub.
Former Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene, incidentally the KTK captain last season, was also a big draw going to Delhi Daredevils for $1.4 million (approx Rs 6.8 crore).
Jayawardene will, however, get $1.5 million as per his contract last year.
Some surprise beneficiaries at the auction were West Indian spinner Sunil Narine, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for $700,000 (Rs 3.40 crore) and Indian paceman Vinay Kumar, taken by Royal Challengers Bangalore for $one million (Rs 4.86 crore). Narine had a modest base price of $50,000.
A total of 146 players went under the hammer with a purse of $16.94 million between the eight teams after Pune Warriors did not turn up following Sahara's decision to give up on the franchise's ownership.
Each team had a maximum cap of $2 million, which Chennai exhausted by spending on Jadeja.
Other big gainers at the auction were New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum was bought for $900,000 by Kolkata Knight Riders. McCullum's base price was $400,000.
Indian stumper Parthiv Patel went for $650,000 to Deccan Chargers, which was quite high from his base price of $200,000.
Among others who went unsold in the auction were England's James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara and Matt Prior, West Indies' Ramnaresh Sarwan, Adrian Barath and Darren Bravo and South Africa's Mark Boucher.
Sri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan, who was with Chennai Super Kings and Kochi in the previous editions, was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for $220,000 (approx. Rs 1.06 crore).
South Africa's veteran opening batsman Herschelle Gibbs, who was released by Deccan Chargers, fetched $50,000 (approx. Rs 24 lakh) from Mumbai Indians, while Australian batsman Brad Hodge was taken by Rajasthan Royals for $475,000 (approx Rs 2.3 crore).
Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson went to Mumbai Indians at his base price of $300,000 (approx Rs 1.4 crore). West Indies Andre Russell fetched $450,000 from the Delhi Daredevils, a substantial hike from his base price of $50,000.
Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal was turned out to be a bargain buy for Rajasthan Royals, who bought him at his base price of $50,000.
Jadeja was supposed to be the highlight of the auction on Saturday and so it turned out to be with almost all franchises placing their bids on the all-rounder.
Ironically, just two years ago, Jadeja was banned for a year after trying to negotiate a deal with Mumbai Indians while still on contract with Rajasthan Royals.
Dubbed the "rockstar" by Australian spin legend and Rajasthan captain-cum-coach Shane Warne, Jadeja was bought by Kochi for $950,000, and he did well by making 283 runs at a strike rate of 124.12, and taking eight wickets at an economy rate of 7.26.
Another big gainer in the auction was Karnataka pacer R Vinay Kumar who was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for a whopping $1 million against a base price of $100,000.
Pacers RP Singh and S Sreesanth, who were part of India team not so long ago, were bought by Mumbai Indians for $600,000 and by Rajasthan Royals for $400,000 respectively. Their base prices were $200,000 and $400,000.
RP Singh was bought by now defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala for $500,000 in the IPL auction last year while Sreesanth had fetched $900,000.
Off-spinner Ramesh Powar was bought by Kings XI Punjab for $160,000 against a base price of $100,000 while Australian Brad Hogg was sold to Rajasthan Royals for $180,000 against a base price of $100,000.
Laxman apart, those who went unsold in the auction include India's VRV Singh, Englishmen Luke Wright, Owais Shah and Graeme Swann, Bangladeshi Tamim Iqbal, Australian pacer Peter Siddle, South Africans Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Justin Kemp and Vernon Philander, Sri Lankan Upul Tharanga, West Indians Marlon Samuels, Dwayne Smith, Fidel Edwards and Ravi Rampaul, New Zealander Tim Southee and big hitting Irishman Kevin O'Brien.
