CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX-based operating systems. It has been developed by Easy Software Products to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and users. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") Server Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support real-world printing under UNIX. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces. CUPS also supports a customized version of GNU Ghostscript (currently based off GNU Ghostscript 5.50) and an image file RIP that are used to support non-PostScript printers. Sample drivers for HP and EPSON printers are included that use these filters. This software is available in the cups-pstoraster port.

new devel/pkgconf added to replace devel/pkg-config. new version of pkg-config are no more self hosting so we are stuck with 0.25 version while pkgconf provide the same set of features as 0.27 and a compatible frontend. A symlink to pkg-config has been added for convenience and compatibility This also introduces a new macro to use pkgconf in your ports: USE_PKGCONFIG it can take the following arguments: - yes (meaning build only dep) - build (meaning build only dep) - run (meaning run only dep) - both (meaning run and build dep) From now USE_GNOME= pkgconfig is deprecated in favour of USE_PKGCONFIG The old gnome macro has been modified to use pkgconf but still the sameway: run and build dep to avoid large breakage.

Made this for my sweetie for Valentine's Day. We both thought that the honey might be overbearing but the taste was perfectly mild and gave it a smoothness. Served with strawberries - it was an end to an excellent meal!
I was tasting as I went along and thought it'd be a huge hit. Once I added the eggs, it was over. Something--I don't know what--was lost to the custard taste/consistency. The lavender flavor had been wonderful, but then became much too pine-y.
I've made this many times and love it! It's best served in small quantities and goes well with other desserts that have relatively simple flavors, such as an almond cake. I have lightened it up by using 1.5 cups each of heavy cream & half-and- half and it is just as good. I've been told it makes a milkshake that is "like drinking ambrosia!"
I love this ice cream. I have now made it 4 times in a row and the word has gotten out - - my friends are requesting this ice cream. I find that it tastes better the 2nd or 3rd day and that right after it's made the lavender flavor can be a bit intense.
Wow, this is an amazing recipe. I have an obsession with lavender flavored foods, it started with Bi-Rite Creamery's honey lavender ice cream - or was it Christopher Elbow's lavender caramel chocolate truffles? Who knows? I made this yesterday in my brother's high end ice cream maker. It was ridiculously simple to make and unbelievably good. I didn't really measure the lavender - I used fresh blossoms from the potted lavender on the patio and chopped them up. Maybe about 3 tbsp total. I changed the cream quantities per the other reviewers; I actually did 1/2 and 1/2 (1.5 c heavy cream and 1.5 c half and half.) I also used less honey - I couldn't say how much but maybe a little less than 1/2 c. I also left the lavender bits in, which I don't really recommend unless you chop them really finely in a food processor, mine are a little too big. I think you could do 2 c half and half and 1 c heavy whipping cream and it would be just as good. All in all, this is incredible. This is only my 2nd time making ice cream - I made salted caramel a few months ago and it was labor intensive and not as good.
One of my favorite flavors! Next time I'll probably ease up on the cream. A bit too heavy. I also cut the amount of lavender in 1/2. BUT I didn't skim it out. I crushed the flowers and kept it in. Love the extra texture.
Delicious! I used lavender buds that were freshly picked from our garden and followed the recipe as written. I served two small scoops in pretty little bowls. It made a rich, exotic desert.
I've made this recipe twice now with fresh sage instead of lavender (it's what we have in the garden). Excellent!
Great recipe. I served it with a strawberry tart and it was a great combination. Based on previous reviews I did cut down the honey and wish I didn't. I used a clover honey (which I believe is a mild honey). I think the recipe is right on...
Yummy! I loved this recipe. Definitely prefer this recipe over the other one that people are recommending (Profiteroles with Honey Lavender Ice Cream - too heavy and rich for me.) I prefer a lighter ice cream, as opposed to a custard consistency, so I switched the amounts of the half & half and cream, added some vanilla and let the lavender steep for 20 minutes as opposed to 30. It came out PERFECT. A great summer treat.

When's the last time you saw a rap battle clip and enjoyed yourself?…Yeah that's what I thought. Well at least this parody keep the art of lyrical warfare going strong. Truth be told the humor kind of tapers off halfway. The vid's still worth viewing to catch the smaller details. Click play and bear witness to a bunch of ridiculousness.

Geoff Johns Confirms He's Leaving Justice League Of America
Geoff Johns took to Twitter to confirm he is handing over the reins of Justice League of America to a new writer after issue #8. Johns stated that Matt Kindt would be taking over the series full-time. Kindt, the New York Times bestselling writer/artist of Mind MGMT, previously joined up with Johns to write the Martian Manhunter backup stories in several issue of JLA. Kindt will take over with issue #9 in November. The writer was mentioned in DC's November solicitations for the book, but since the issue will be a Forever Evil tie-in many weren't sure if it was only for a single issue or not since Johns will be busy with the main Forever Evil story.
This leaves Johns wide open for other comics. He recently ended his prolific Green Lantern run, and rumors have been circulating for a while that the writer would leave Aquaman as well. Rumors, or maybe just fan hope, have suggested that Johns might kick off a new Booster Gold series or even a Shazam ongoing. We'll have to wait and see what the writer does next, but I'm sure it will be worth it. What do you think about the official announcement of Matt Kindt taking over JLA?

Wrapping Your Head Around Ryan Howard
Posted by The Dipsy, Tue, July 19, 2011 01:00 PM | Comments: 109
Analysis, News, Opinion, Posts
(This post was written by one of Phillies Nation's best commenters and a big-time Phillies fan, "The Dipsy.")
The jaw dropping power. The deluge of strikeouts. All those RBIs. All that horrible plate discipline. His self-effacing good nature. His head-shaking grimaces on his walk back to the dugout. And all that money, too. Exhilarating and maddening and prolific and squandering.
To root for Ryan Howard, which we all do, is to experience both the agony and the ecstasy, each in large doses – and very often within the same game, the same inning, or even the same at bat. That wild swing at a curveball in the dirt will leave one to mutter curses under his breath only to see that same fan rise up exuberantly the next moment when Ryan crushes the next pitch deep into the Philadelphia night.
Ryan Howard was held down for a year-and-a-half while the Phillies figured out what to do with Jim Thome. When he did arrive he became the best power hitter in the game. He hit for average, he hit to the opposite field, he took walks. He was incredible; incredible in a time when offense flourished in baseball, for whatever reason (wink). He won an MVP and led the Phils to a World Series title. He signed a huge contract. The last few years have seen his production tail off as he has morphed from an all around weapon into a one-dimensional power hitter. While his fielding has improved slightly, he is still in the bottom third of defensive first basemen. We all love his personality and charm, but few of us can ignore the fact that he who was once the unstoppable offensive force, is not that anymore.
While still a tremendous power hitter, some fans chide him for his inability to perform at his previous offensive levels, and I'm not going to tell them they're wrong. A portion of the team's fandom work themselves into a lather at every horrible at bat (which there are many) or each example of bad fielding. Each miscue is set against a backdrop of his huge salary. Some fans just don't think he's worth it…that the pain just outweighs the pleasure.
I have a view. I too have been through the years of cheering and cursing and hand wringing, etc. and I've come out the other side. While Ryan Howard is not the hitter he once was, he is still the best power hitter in the game, year in and year out. He does have bad plate discipline and he does swing at everything- but why? Because when there are men on base, and he looks to the on deck circle, one would suspect he realizes that if he doesn't drive them in that nobody will. And rightly so.
Its the "hit a home run or die trying" theory. He has 73 RBIs this year. He also has a contract calling for him to be paid $25m a year. A lot of people can't stomach that. I know its too much money but guess what? – Ryan didn't ask for it, Ruben gave it to him. He gave it to him because it would have been PR suicide not to. Which brings us full circle. For all the things he can't do, he is this: a fabulous home run hitter and run producer who helps puts butts in the seats, a hard working guy who has never given anyone a moments trouble, and a player with a big heart who wants to win, loves the game, and is adored by the 99% of the fans that don't bitch about him on call-in shows and fan blogs. And I suspect that's why Ruben paid him, for those very reasons.
When we get a little angry about why he's not the player he was or when he can't catch a throw to first base, remember the saying that goes "don't let the good be the enemy of the perfect" and know that many other teams in baseball would kill to have Ryan Howard.

@ Dipsy
I like and respect you. As you know I dont just throw that around. And I dont go for brownie points.Howard is untradable. Gonzalez makes 21 million next year. Howard 25.
Fielder will make 20 not 25Beltran is the most fitting player ever for a team.
When you guys pulled your pants down for Lee last year do it for Beltran this year. -

Everyone who writes articles the first half of the season about how Ryan Howard is such a disappointment, should be held accountable – perhaps 'tarred and feathered' each August and September when he is consistently the best hitter in baseball.
This year he hit the all star break leading the league in RBI and on pace for 30+ home runs once again.
If you want to see a player underperforming expectations, take a drive down I-95 to watch Jayson Werth. It's baseball … it's a long season
Posts: 0 Andrew from Waldorf
Werth isnt our problem.
In an ideal world Howard wouldnt be our problem.My issue is so many of you think he is the reason they win. He isnt. Can put 20 other people at first and be better off. At least 2 are playing for the KC Royals.
But HE IS the reason they lost in the playoffs last year.
Waiting for the justification to start him vs lefties?
Posts: 0 Don M
I'm glad someone brought up what they think Prince Fielder will make . . . . because lost in all of this "Ruben overpaid" talk .. is the fact that he basically handcuffed the Cardinals and Brewers into deciding – A) Do we want to pay our superstars & not be able to afford anyone else …or B) Do we let our superstars walk so that we can field a better overall club from top to bottom, knowing the fans will revolt if said superstars depart
Amaro ensured that Pujols and Fielder BOTH get paid more than $25 M per season… and since St Louis and Milwaukee aren't the huge media markets, and they can't sustain huge payrolls …. Ruben took a direct shot to try to knock two clubs back down the mountain as we play King of the Hill/ NL each season.
Is Howard aging and declining, yes.. But if we didn't pay him the $20-$25 M per season, someone else would have… and I can't imagine this lineup with Chase Utley as our only power threat…
For the same reasons we name clubs that are willing to pay Fielder, those same clubs would be willing to pay Howard too.. if Ryan can stay off the breaking balls, he can stay among the top offensive players in the game
Posts: 0 Andrew from Waldorf
Gonzalez makes 21 million per.
Why would Fielder make more? Because the Phillies over paid Howard?Fielder gets 6 years 120-125
If you think Howard would have gotten 25 mil per this off season just LOL
But I am responding to someone I do not respect.
I digress

Last comment here before moving on.
You do not need to justify or qualify at the top of the page when Dipsy writes a column.He is one of the few here who I respect.
Some of the others can work on respect etc etc.
You know who you are. -
Posts: 0 Don M
We'll see… Fielder's younger and plays better defense at firstbase…. pretty damn sure the Cubs are going to throw crazy money at either of these players. I agree that Prince will prob get 6 years, but its going to be closer to $150 M
Also, I lose sleep over the fact that you don't respect me on a blog… please reconsider

Ryan should not be walking but then again, he CANNOT be swinging at those pitches around his ankles either – that is what kills me, when he swings at that crap he looks totally clueless.On the other side, the Phils got Ryan Howard (full time) in 2006 and have been a contender ever since. Not a coincidence.

Andrew Speer
"My 25-year career in athletics and fitness has given me more opportunities, confidence, and purpose than I could have ever dreamed. My passion is helping others improve their lives through physical fitness."
Growing up as a gymnast Andrew spent hours in the gym. In high school Andrew transitioned to track and field, going on to compete as a pole-vaulter for the University of Miami. In college Andrew found the weight-room, and in two years transformed his wiry 140-pound frame into a lean and muscular 185 pounds. It was in the weight-room that Andrew first developed his a passion and skill for training and motivating others. For Andrew, coaching is training.
Andrew continued to develop his training skills by learning from the top strength and conditioning coaches in the country. He attended certifications and seminars lead by legendary trainers such as Pavel Tsatouline, Dan John, Martin Rooney, Gray Cook and put this knowledge to work - racking up over 7,000 training hours in the next 5 years.
Andrew's athletic background as a gymnast and pole-vaulter, along with his skills in Olympic lifting, body-weight training, kettlebells, and eye for technique and movement developed through years of training, made him one of the top trainers in the nation.
After training for more than five-years in the SoHo area, Andrew has established a client list of the SoHo elite. The majority of Andrew's clients have trained with him for multiple years.
In addition to training Andrew appears regularly in Men's Health, Men's Journal and Runner's World. He has worked for clients such as Nike, Under Armour, Everlast, and was featured in Shaun T's Asylum DVD series. Andrew helped develop Shaun T's latest DVD series T25 and created the exercise routine for MAC cosmetics Temperature Rising Campaign.
Andrew is Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and an RKC-1 kettlebell instructor. Andrew has also been certified by USA weightlifting Level 1 coach and Martin Rooney's Training for Warriors Level 1 instructor.
Albert Matheny
"I have always enjoyed learning about the human body and its capabilities under different conditions: training, nutrition, recovery from injury, and other variables. My goal is to help others connect with their bodies so that they can build their strength and confidence to pursue life to the fullest."
Albert grew up running, swimming, surfing, climbing, biking, lifting, and, of course, eating. His running led him to a five-year career as an athlete at the University of Florida, where he competed at the S.E.C. championships for the Gators in both track and field and cross-country. Post-collegiately, Albert trained and competed professionally under Barb Lindquist, the former world #1 ranked triathlete.
In the summer of 2008, Albert underwent hip surgery, from which he fully recovered, returning to competition later that year.
Academically, Albert completed Bachelor of Science degrees in Exercise Physiology and Food Science/Human Nutrition, a Master of Science degree in Human Performance, and he earned his licensure as a Registered Dietitian.
Throughout his career, Albert has researched nutrition to improve training, recovery from injury, and general health. He is well-versed in creating individual nutrition plans to complement specific training program goals. Currently, Albert serves as the consulting dietitian for DB Track Club, a professional track and field training group lead by Rana Reider (USA Track and Field National Coach of the Year in 2011).
Albert specializes in integrating his nutrition and physiology background into his training program design. He is skilled in the areas of weight loss, building lean muscle mass, core strength, triathlon training, kettlebells, and corrective exercise for injuries.
Ryan Hopkins
"Changing a person's pre-conceived notion of who they are physically, and what they are capable of, and then progressing them further."
Ryan Hopkins has spent the last 10 years of his life exploring everything gym and weightlifting related. He began his studies in Athletic Training at the University of Central Florida where he also played A-side outside center for the nation's sixth ranked club rugby team.
Athletic Training required Ryan to think about lifting beyond just doing dumbbell presses and bicep curls, there was an emphasis on optimal physical function, performance, injury prevention and the acquisition/maintenance of strength.
Ryan recognizes that his academic background is the underlying foundation for his approach to programming and personal training, but his most significant learning was done outside of the classroom. Everything Ryan knows and does he has at one time done himself. Against all odds and wants, he has even run 6.5 miles without stopping...once.
Ryan separates himself from many fitness professionals because of his exposure to and comprehension of a wide variety of training methods and modalities. Ryan is perpetually educating himself, applying what he learns in his training to, "experience the individualities and peculiarities of each approach for every situation and circumstance."
Ryan is highly skilled in all areas of the weight-room, but fancies himself a barbell guy thru and thru. He specializes in all things strength and conditioning related, Olympic weightlifting, weight loss, making regular people look and feel good, and making old ladies really strong.
Ryan currently competes in Olympic weightlifting and is a member of USA-Weightlifting, both as a competitor and certified Sports Performance Coach. Ryan holds a BS in Exercise Science and is a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Johnathan Stock
"Strength is the foundation of all other levels of health and fitness."
Jonathan is the Director of Program Development at Soho Strength Lab and an accomplished exercise and strength coach, working with everyone from pre/post-surgery to high level professional athletes. John uses his unique skill set to identify and correct fitness obstacles, and strengthen any individual to his or her highest potential. In his spare time John is an avid athlete enjoying everything from whitewater kayaking to snowboarding to climbing mountains all over the country.
Rob Olivar
"No person has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a person to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which their body is capable." — Socrates
Rob Olivar believes body and mind are merely two sides of the same coin. The language barrier between English and German could not stop him from receiving a master's education at the best sports science university in Europe, Deutsche Sporthochsule Köln, in Cologne, Germany. While playing semi-professional football for the Weyhe Vikings and the Bremen Firebirds (both in Germany) he excommunicated himself from the English language, commanding teammates and colleagues to speak to him exclusively in the native tongue of Deutschland.
Upon his esteemed education overseas, Olivar returned to the States to train with the New York Jets professional football team. And now he brings his extensive sports science knowledge to the Soho Strength Lab.
Prior to his master's education, Olivar received a grant to play football and earn a baccalaureate degree at Stonehill College, in Easton, Mass. He was chosen as an All-Conference running back, while setting multiple school records at the well-reputed southern New England college. It was here that he learned how training smart could improve athletic performance.
Olivar is currently working toward a PhD. In kinesiology.
Curtis Williams
Curtis Williams was an active player in the NFL from 2005-2007, playing for the Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, and New York Jets. He is now Owner of Team Training C.A.M.P. LLC, a company that provides sports performance/fitness coaching and business development for fitness professionals in New York City. He works with both a wide range of athletes as well as clientele looking to improve their health and fitness. Curtis is also recognized as one of the premier group fitness instructors nationwide.
Aside from teaching group fitness classes, Curtis is presently a member of the Under Armour Performance Training Council, a panel of some of the most influential sports performance trainers across the country. Coach Williams has over 5 years in the sports performance field to add to his resume as an NFL athlete and the first Director of Strength & Conditioning at New York University (2011).
Although Curtis's has acquired numerous certifications he feels his relentless pursuit to perfect his craft, experience, commitment and passion allow him to motivate and get the most out of clients.
Christina Jensen
"When I think of health and fitness, I think of unlimited possibilities, it is the one area of our lives that we can have complete control over. As a trainer, the most amazing feeling is showing people that they too have this same power!"
Originally from upstate NY, Christina trained as a dancer at the Perkins School of the Arts and completed her bachelors in fine arts from the University of the Arts in Philidelphia.
In her dance career, Christina danced for five years with the Radio City Rockettes and currently serves as the principal dancer for the modern dance company the Phoenix Project Dance.
Fitness and training have always been a part of Christina's life. Christina currently trains in barre technique at Physique 57 and was recently cast in Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs and Focus T25.
Christina is known for bringing an amazing motivational energy into her classes and training. Her dance inspired perspective to fitness is an exciting new addition to SoHo Strength Lab.
Jillian Zambelli
Jillian has been working in the health and fitness industry since 2002. She is a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist and a member of the AMTA. In addition she also holds her personal training certification through the C.H.E.K organization, and holds a certification in Holistic Lifestyle Coaching.
Her passion is in educating her clients in posture and movement to prevent injuries or in helping those already injured.

Hi guys.
Looking at buying a 1992 2.8 td. but the drivers side window button has given in, is it hard to fix or costly? Am a struggling Uni. student. the previous owner has spent $4000 in the last year on brakes, injectors, alternator etc. is this the normal running costs (hope not). most of your reviews have been encouraging, but would like an affirmation on the vehicle it has done around 188k.
P.s what about fuel consumption on average.
28th Jul 2007, 01:48
The Mu is a very reliable vehicle that can handle the abuse.
The 2.8L ones are a near bullet proof engine. Problems are alternator, turbos with no turbo timers do crap themselves, and the rear calipers do give problems if the person changing the rear pads does not know what they are doing.
The 3.1 Mu heads do crack, and have alternator problems.
Both also have hand brake cables that seize if they've been in water.
In saying all that, I have owned my 2.8l Mus for 8 years now, and only had to do both alternators. I refuse to sell them as they are great vehicles.
18th Mar 2009, 22:01
I have an Isuzu Mu 1994 and it has not missed a beat in 5 years!
The 3.1 is a great power plant (9 litres per 100 km)
You do need to service this type of engine every 5000km.
If you don`t have a turbo timer, after a decent workout, let the truck idle for a minute or two. (saves the turbo)
The seats are not that comfortable for long trips.
3rd May 2010, 04:36
Our 1994 3.1 LTD turbo diesel has always been reliable, though it did blow the turbo shortly after I bought it at 80,000 Km. Fortunately the after market warranty sorted that out. Around $2,800 for the genuine product at the time.
Fuel consumption is 30 MPG on a highway run, and as little as 22 MPG when towing our one tonne caravan. I did expect better figures than that, but it has taken me everywhere I ever wanted to go - on or off road, and is good on the boat ramp and on the beach.
It smokes a little at times and has been diagnosed as leaking valve stem seals. My mechanic says keep driving and don't worry, as it does not do it all the time. Around $1200 - to $1500 would sort it out. Oil consumption is minimal.
Otherwise I find the Mu is great for the outdoorsman (when I can prize my wife and her dog out of it).
29th May 2010, 18:19
Hi all, I have a 1996 MU that I purchased in Jan this year.
Before that I had two 2.8 l Big Horns that I had a very reliable run out of. They were just too big for what I want now, so hence the downsize.
The MU is much nicer to drive and a little more fuel efficient. I am getting as much as 850 kl/per tank out of it, and a lot of this is in rush hour traffic.
Have just had to do the alternator, but that's life. LOL $450 on Trademe buys a new one.
PS I think that I have the EFI version of the 3.1 motor, so that would help the fuel consumption figures. Also heaps more power than the 2.8 L engine, which is prone to bad blow by. My first Big Horn was a shocker for this, but very lucky second time around.
If you can find a good one, the 2.8 is a fantastic motor, even if it is under powered. Also the 2.8 is direct injection and the 3.1 is indirect injection. Therefore the 2.8 should be more fuel efficient. EFI should even this up somewhat.

So far, this is my least favorite of the Carter High books, because it is the most repetitive and least complex. Ben K. Davis takes advantage of a case of mistaken identity when he receives Ben E. Davis's straight As, allowing him to run track. Ben doesn't tell anyone that he failed math, and is ineligible to participate, but he worries that if anyone finds out, his team will have to forfeit any meets he has run in.

A little bit of Italy is coming to a vacant lot in West Knoxville.
Harper Properties, which is affiliated with Harper Auto Square, recently completed a $950,000 deal for a vacant lot adjacent to the Pellissippi Parkway overpass at Parkside Drive.
Shannon Harper said last week that his firm plans to develop a Fiat store on the location that will open in March and will later expand the building with plans to open an Alfa Romeo dealership in 2014.
Harper cited the location's interstate visibility and proximity to other dealerships on Parkside Drive as factors in its appeal.
Fiat is an Italian brand that holds a majority interest in American automaker Chrysler. The Fiat 500 has been sold in the U.S. since last year and has included a marketing campaign featuring celebrities such as Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Lopez.
Harper said the cars are "totally nontraditional" and appeal to drivers who are looking for character and flair.
"It's a great city car," he added.
The site was at one time owned by Knoxville businessman Dale Akins, who touted plans for a $60 million, 14-story tower called The Fountains at Parkside. Akins pulled the plug on that idea in 2008.
At one point, the property was optioned by car
dealer Roddy Rodgers, with an eye toward moving his Rodgers Cadillac dealership to the site. That sale didn't materialize, and in 2010 Rodgers Cadillac fell victim to a decision by General Motors to downsize its dealer network.
Citizens National Bank of Athens, Tenn., eventually foreclosed on the Parkside property after a loan went into default, and the bank was the seller on the most recent deal.
Roger Moore, president of Sperry Van Ness/R.M. Moore, represented the bank on the latest transaction and said the dealership is probably a better use than the proposed office tower.
The tower was "just a little bit of an odd type location for something like that," the broker said.
Harper has four other locations in Knoxville — Infiniti, Acura and Volkswagen dealerships, plus a dealership that sells Porsches, Audis and Jaguars.

London's most comprehensive guide to restaurants and bars
This review hasn't been rated yet.
This must be the best Italian restaurant in London at the moment (sorry Mr Locatelli), tucked away behind Liverpool Street station, it's well worth the trip from the West End. The menu contains a number of unusual dishes and the cooking is terrific. Ocaisionally the boorish behaviour of the local 'City boys' pervades the otherwise calm atmosphere.

mod_rewriteOverviewmod_rewrite is the world-famous regular-expressions-based URL manipulation engine that is now available for IIS users in the framework of Helicon Ape. It can:
Quick startLet's take a real-life example that is often requested/used by our customers. Requested URL: Surely one usually needs to rewrite a large number of URLs of similar pattern (same parameters but different parameters' values), hence map files are most suitable for this situation. So we need... mapfile.txt
Related articles and topics
ExamplesThis example demonstrates how to easily hide query string parameters using the loop (LP) flag.
Suppose you have a URL like
Note! This rule may break relative links to CSS, images, etc due to the change
of the base path (parent folder of the page). This problem occurs only if you use slash ('/')
as a replacement character. There are three possible solutions: Here's an example of using '~' separator (
Assume you have the Internet server running IIS and several backend servers or applications running other platform or machine. These servers are not directly accessible from the Internet but you need to provide access to these servers for others. Here is an example of how to simply map entire content of one web site to the folder on another site:
Say you have registered two domains
Now just place your sites in /site1 and /site2 directories. And note that Or you can use more generic rules to map any request to the folder with the same name as the host name:
Directory names for sites should be like Assume you have some pages with inline .gif graphics under While you cannot 100% protect the images from inclusion using mod_rewrite—there's a mod_hotlink module for that—you can at least check requests for which browser sends HTTP Referer header. The following rules will only allow access to the images if referer is from the same host or empty:
It's a common task when you need to move the site from one domain name to another, or just to another folder. So, it's necessary to redirect all requests from one web site to another preserving the requested resource name and parameters. This is incredibly useful especially when you want to preserve page rank of existing pages and external links. The following configuration should be used on old web server:
It may sometimes be necessary to provide browser-dependent content at least for important top-level pages:
Now make it available as robots.txt using a single mor_rewrite rule:
This example emulates some kind of DNS Round-Robin load balancing technique.
Suppose you have main site
And here is the
Here's the solution to get rid of lots of web-spiders:
RewriteBaseWhen For directory context Syntax
RewriteCondRewriteCond directive defines a single condition for the following
Note! Example
RewriteEngineRewriteEngine enables or disables rewriting runtime for the context it's specified in. Use RewriteEngine off instead of commenting out rewrite rules if you need to disable mod_rewrite module or specific .htaccess file. Syntax
Note! Unlike in ISAPI_Rewrite 3, it's necessary to specify RewriteHeaderRewriteHeader directive is a more general case of Syntax
Note! RewriteLogRewriteLog directive sets the name and path to the log file where mod_rewrite will log its actions. Syntax
RewriteLogLevelRewriteLogLevel directive defines the verbosity of logging output. The default value of 0 means no logging, while maximum level of 9 means all actions will be logged. Using higher values of logging may slow down mod_rewrite operation. We recommend you to disable logging by setting log level to 0 after debugging of your ruleset has been completed. Syntax
RewriteMapRewriteMap directive is used to define a key to value lookup function. This is useful when you have to deal with large amount of values of similar pattern since it is much faster than doing it with rule matching. Syntax
You can call mapping function in the
If this construction is found in Example
Then you may use this map in RewriteRule as follows:
RewriteOptionsRewriteOptions directive sets special options for mod_rewrite. Syntax
Currently only one option is available:
RewriteProxyRewriteProxy causes the resulting URL to be internally treated as a target on another server and immediately (i.e. rules processing stops here) passed to the remote server. Response of the remote server will then be passed back to the client. Proxy requires you to specify fully qualified URL, starting from protocol, host name, etc. Syntax
Syntax of RewriteProxy is the same as of RewriteRule directive. Flags

I am usually pretty fortunate with the weather for all my past weddings I've had. Not this wedding! This was 7 hours of downpour, luckily the clouds did reside for a few minutes to allow some great shots of Rebecca & Andrew. I think this wedding is a great example of what can actually be achieve if it rains on your wedding day. I personally believe that just because it's wet outside, there should be no compromise. Needless to say I got a little wet! But form the images I captured, it was all worth it.
Saturday 6th August 2011 at 11:24 am
hi Paul
would just like to say how wonderful the photos are,Becky looks stunning, you captured just how they are as a couple.I think the weather really tested you on that day and shows your skills as a photographer.So many luvly natural photos as well.I am so happy andy and becky chose you, they said right from the first time of meeting you they liked you and we could see why ,a nice guy with a brilliant talent.
many thanks from the proud parents x

I'm still amazed that it should be so difficult to such a basic thing a centering an image. The <center> tag has worked robustly for many years - even on NS4. I'm aware that the fundamental principle behind CSS is to separate content from presentation - but I still feel that if the W3C consortium want us to give up this old war horse (and abandon a lot of legacy browsers in the process) the very least they could do was to specify how we're supposed to do it.
Thanks for all the comments.

Joe Perry: Conservative of the Week
Age: 58
Birthplace: Lawrence, MA
Claim To Fame: lead guitarist/vocalist for legendary rock band Aerosmith
Why He's Conservative of the Week: for coming out and publicly supporting John McCain for president. In the entertainment world, announcing that you're a Republican can literally put the kibosh on your career. Thus, while liberal entertainers can shout their political views to the rafters, conservative celebrities can, at most, whisper theirs for fear of retribution from the leftist higher-ups who control most of the industry. However, for Perry, announcing his GOP allegiance was simply a matter of principle, national security and his country's current economic woes. And as he told The Boston Herald, "Seeing so many people come out for [BARACK] OBAMA, I just felt like... I might as well raise my hand for this side." Responding to criticisms of McCain's age, he adds, "My mother's in her 80s and she does aerobics... That doesn't bother me."

Success just beginning for Pirates
Even if World Series dreams aren't realized, don't judge Pittsburgh on 2013
Whenever you read about the Pittsburgh Pirates these days, you hear about 2013 being the summit of a 21-year-slog. With their win over the Texas Rangers on Monday, it was officially the end of more than two decades of losing baseball, dating back to 1992. Barring a massive collapse over the next two weeks, it's soon going to also be the end of a playoff drought going back to that same season.
As the NL Central race heats up, the Pirates have been treading water, having lost 16 of 30 games over the past month of play. After being swept by St. Louis, they finished off a sweep in Texas on Wednesday. To date, this season has seen them spend 52 days in first place, but it could end without a single home playoff game should they be unable to hold off the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals and end up with the second wild-card spot. Wouldn't that end up being the most Pirates way possible to end the streak?
Yet for all of the discussion about what the Pirates are in position to end, the state of this franchise is far more about the future than the ghosts they're about to excise. The 2013 season isn't the end. It's merely the beginning because this organization is being built for the long haul, not just to poke above .500 for one year before falling back off. (Looking at you, 2003 Kansas City Royals and 2009 Seattle Mariners.)

Plainly one of Picoults best!
Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult
Member Name: Ainat
Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult
Date: 23/05/11, updated on 25/07/13 (75 review reads)
Advantages: Great story and character development.
Disadvantages: None! Unless you count the fact that you can't put it down!
As you may have noticed from other reviews, I am a big Jodi Picoult fan, and am slowly working my way through reviewing her books. The latest one that I've managed to get the chance to sit down and read is 'Plain Truth', and I have to say, this is has now become one of my favourite books by Jodi.
~A Brief Outline of the Story~
Katie Fisher is 18, and at the opening of the book when the reader meets her she has just given birth in secret. Something that makes Katie a little different from your 'normal' teenage mother is that she is Amish. Having a baby out of wedlock is a sin. When this baby is found dead the next morning and Katie refuses to admit even giving birth, let alone what has happened to the newborn, a police investigation is launched with Katie the prime suspect. Katie is accused of first degree murder.
Early on in the book we also meet Ellie. Ellie is a big time defence lawyer, who wins a huge amount of the cases she takes on. Feeling the need for a break from her city lifestyle she goes and stays with her relative - Leda, who also happens to be Katie's aunt. Leda begs Ellie to help Katie, and after originally declining, Ellie takes on Katie's case. In order to meet the bail conditions Ellie has to move on to Katie's parents farm, which also means adopting many of the Amish ways of life.
The book is split into two parts. The first part focuses on Katie and Ellie's relationship, how Ellie goes about compiling evidence to use in her case and how she adapts to living on the Fisher's farm, and teachers the reader a lot about the Amish way of life. The second part of the book focuses more on the court case. Will the jury find Katie guilty or not guilty of first degree murder? Of course I'm not going to tell you the final verdict in this review! You'll have to read the book!
~My Opinion~
As already said at the beginning of the review I loved this book and it has become one of my favourite Jodi Picoult novels. But why?
Well, first off, the story itself is brilliant, and is written really well. Starting off so tragically with the death of a newborn in the first few pages the novel develops further to be not only a tragedy, but a story about love, about religion, about family, as well as leading in to the courtroom drama that follows. Jodi's style of writing means that we see the events that happens from a number of characters perspectives throughout. A number of chapters in the book are also written totally from Ellie's perspective. I found this very enlightening as it's in these chapters that we really see the way Ellie adapts both as a person and how she is finding as adapting to the Amish ways of life. Being a big city lawyer there is a huge difference in lifestyle. This is discussed really well throughout the book.
As well as really feeling I got to know the character of Ellie, I also felt that the reader gets to know the other characters in the book really well too. I really felt that I got to know Katie, and I could see her personal struggles and understand them from her point of view. Some other worthy of note characters include Katie's parents. Her dad is a very strict Amish and believes in following the church as closely as possible. At points he does come across as a bit of an evil-ish character in the eyes of someone not from the Amish way of life (how could he put church before his children?), but I felt his character is developed enough for him to lose this label, and that the reader can begin to understand his point of view too. Sarah, Katie's mother, is also a well developed character and we learn a lot about the Amish way of life through her. Samuel, Katie's boyfriend, is another well developed character. He has to do a lot of thinking and has to decide what is right. We also learn what it is like to be 'shunned' from the Amish community through the character of Jacob, Katie's older brother (who has left the community to study). Through Jacobs story we learn why it was so important to Katie to keep her pregnancy a secret - but in the American court system hiding the pregnancy, and then the baby being discovered dead does not look good for Katie...
With so many well developed characters doing a lot of soul searching within themselves, you can't help but think 'what would I do in that position?' This is something Jodi does brilliantly in all her novels. The way the story is written leaves the reader constantly guessing what is going to happen next, and as a result is a definite page turner. As in her other books there is a bit of a Jodi twist at the end. I would definitely recommend this book (and have done!).
I bought my copy in practically new condition from a local charity shop, however Plain Truth is currently on Amazon for £4.19 with free delivery. Alternatively you can buy from other sellers on Amazon from £3.68 new and £1.07 used but delivery charges may apply.
Summary: Well written, emotional, brilliant story and character development. Definitely worth a read!

My early take on this season....
1 8 Sep @ Detroit Lions
Im getting tired of how great Stafford is. 17 TDs vs 20 INTs isnt what I call great and thats with the best WR in the league on your roster. Defense isnt much better. They tried to fix their running game with Bush (like hes been the solution as a every down back before), made some off season moves, but they arent a team. And in the ultimate team game, thats whats important. Vikes Win 23-17
2 15 Sep @ Chicago Bears
Aging defense still only gave up 17 points a game, but really came apart as the season wore on. Old guys just cant hold up to a rigorous schedule and the offense was even more disappointing. Enter a HCing change. Trestman is known for getting the most out of QBs and has worked with Cutler before. In the end, a new LB corps (For the Bores) and a certain DE vs Bushrod will be the difference in this one. Vikes Win 30-17
3 22 Sep Cleveland Browns
Sometimes who a team plays the week before has a big impact on what happens the following week. In this case, the Brownies get to see us after a Ravens meeting. After watching this team last year, they are a team I wouldnt have wanted to meet, but that was a year ago. Im still a bit worried about them and think this is one of the hardest games to pick, but because of the changes at WR (very very young) and almost as young of a OL (Joe Thomas aside) we will show how improved we really are after going 3-0. Vikes win 23-17
4 29 Sep Pittsburgh Steelers (in London, England)
I hate games that take our team out of their regular schedule. I wish every game could be on a Sunday afternoon. In the end, the Steelers were a legitimate 8-8 team. Heath Millers ACL tear (status) will be a big player in this outcome, however, I believe that all the changes on the defense as well as on the offense will be to much for this team to do much better than to hope for a 8-8 season and the Vikes wont be one that adds to their win column. Vikes win 33-13
6 13 Oct Carolina Panthers
Last year we gave up 30 + points to two running QBs (Seattle/Wash). Newton will look to exploit what was a weakness last year. I think this is the first game we see if Erin (or whoever) at MLB and improved play at the DT spot helps. In the end, the Panthers, as I type, are team in a mess. Lots of player issues (contracts) that need to be addressed before I give this team a win. Better play by our offense, keeps our defense off the field and the limited times Newton gets on the field he becomes more and more flustered that we play a Contain the QB defense that caused them to lose so many games last year before their late season streak. Vikes Win 23-17
7 21 Oct @ New York Giants
Our bubble is burst. This team is a sound team that can and will beat just about any team with a weakness at home. Eli is the better QB of the manning family and he picks apart our defense as his improved OL keeps him from getting dirty. Only way this isnt a win for the Giants is if the wind blows, a storm pores down and AD is allowed to do his thing in that environment. Vikes Lose 23-13
8 27 Oct Green Bay Packers
Im really really really looking forward to this one. We showed the crack in the armor and the 49rs and Deadskins showed how to exploit it. Run the ball. Capers will be on the hot seat from week one when he goes back up against the 49rs in week one and then again in week two vs the Deadskins. Im not so sure the loss of Jennings will hurt as much as their record when they face us. After a thumping by the Giants, the Vikes get it together and take it to the PUKERS. Vikes win 27-13
9 3 Nov @ Dallas Cowboys
This one is easy. Jerry Jones used his first round pick on a third round center. My warpig has shown some flash leading up to this one, he, Everson, Rob and JA take this one over and if Romo makes it through it alive it will be a miracle. No offense from the Cowgirls means a lot of AD on the ground with very little effort from our passing game. Vikes win 33-3
10 7 Nov Washington Redskins
See my comment about running QBs in the Panthers analysis above, but the real concern in this one isnt RGIII. For as much hype as that cat garnered last year, the real problem is that RB (Morris). In the end, I dont think theyve done enough to fix a bad secondary. Hell, they were desperate enough to try to bring in Winnfield for goodness sakes. Vikes win 28-17
11 17 Nov @ Seattle Seahawks
See my comment about running QBs in the Panthers analysis above. As with the Deadskins, their running game is the concern in Lynch. Mix that with what should be the toughest WR corps we face (yes even better than the PUKERS) and I think its too much for our defense. Vikes lose 35-17
12 24 Nov @ Green Bay Packers
I dont think weather is a issue with this team anymore and I dont think winning on the road in bad weather is an issue anymore. This one comes down to the PUKERs trying to save a season and the Vikes trying to keep a good one rolling after a bad loss to a playoff caliber team. By this time I think Capers is gone and McCarthy could start feeling the heat as well as they still cant figure out how to get a running game going or stop a team that has a sound running game balanced out with just enough passing to keep them off balance. Vikes win 35-17
13 1 Dec Chicago Bears
The Bores have figured out, along with their fans, that this is in fact a rebuilding year. Although Cutlers numbers have been up, the defense has been a letdown. Vikes win back to back Div games and sweep both the Bores and PUKERs in the same year. Vikes win 35-17
14 8 Dec @ Baltimore Ravens
I dont care what anyone thinks. Ozzy is a hell of a GM and had this team ready for this years change. The lucky addition (thanks to a faulty fax) at DE, has them still a very dangerous team. Alas, it isnt enough vs what will become the years hottest team. Vikes win 28-23
15 15 Dec Philadelphia Eagles
Who knows what this team is going to look like. Vikes win 35-10
16 22 Dec @ Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals brought back some key players. Added some new talent at S and doubled up on TEs by taking the best one In the draft. In the end, the Vikes have the division sowed up by now and they elect not to get anyone hurt in this one and play several backup players. Vikes lose 35-17
17 29 Dec Detroit Lions
Same as the Bengals, Vikes only play their starters the first quarter or so and beat a team in complete disarray after another blown season. Vikes Win 14-10Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
I like that analysis and very logical that it could go our way in all those games. Now I think we split the first two road games, the bores have our number no matter how bad they are and how good we are, they just do.
The next three games are very winnable, the fourth one very losable, dead on.
The Pukers game I think we can win, I am just not as sure as you at this point. Especially after they got two very good RB's that can change the game plan for them. The play action pass is now something you have to honor, not like before.
4-3 at this point IMO
The Vikes beat the Cowboys is one I am skeptical of, and especially a blow out. I still don't trust this team to travel and play well. I think a loss here. Deadskins are a toss up as well to me.
I agree with the Seattle game and I think we lose to the Pukers at Lamebutt field.
I agree with the rest of the games so I think we are still fighting for the division against the Lions or fighting for a playoff spot.
Either way IMO we are going to be between 8-8 and 10-6.
There s only two things stopping you - fear and common sense!! The Truth you CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
I'll probably adjust it in a couple of places after the rosters settle out, but I have the following in mind....
a. PUKERS are going to try to install a running game. That is going to put that offense in a tizzy like we saw the Steelers go through last year. Mix in the defense issue (which I don't think they fixed) and I see a team ripe for failure this year.
b. Dallas. Same as the PUKERS, JJ is trying to validate the Romo signing by improving the offense all the while he has the C2/T2 guru there on his staff to convert from the 3-4 to the 4-3. Again, without the right players. That should equate to a mess.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
Makes sense, I just don't see us sweeping the Pukers, I don't think we will win in Lambutt so the best I am hoping for is a split. Dallas while they may be in trumoil, they did get the guru to turn their D into a very good one again, they still have some players on that side of the ball. Add to that our miserable play away from home and I defintely don't see a blow out. Maybe a win but not a blow out.
We have a very tough schedule this year and if we go 9-7 or 10-6 that will be an imporvement over last year. Just because of who we play!!!Last edited by tarkenton10; 05-09-2013 at 10:23 AM.
There s only two things stopping you - fear and common sense!! The Truth you CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
Well, you kept them in good shape over the course of the year. 9-7 is my prediction this year, so anywhere from 8-8 to 10-6 is where I think Minnesota finishes this year. Another wid card berth but a better chance at a win IMO. I think we are catching the elite franchises in the NFC, one more great draft and people will start to fear us. Pos. I hope we target in next year's draft are MLB, G, DE, S, CB, WR (in that order).
There s only two things stopping you - fear and common sense!! The Truth you CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!

I have found wikis to be very beneficial in meeting these needs, as well as providing additional unanticipated benefits. If you are not familiar with wikis, don't despair, you are not alone. A wiki is simply a collaborative website allowing users to edit and contribute information in an asynchronous environment. Many of my students have never been exposed to the use of a wiki outside of Wikipedia. Fortunately, wikis are easy to use and integrate into the learning process. As with many social media sites, the administrator is provided with multiple security options which allows you to create a private space for you and your students. In my classes, student groups rotate the responsibility of providing a weekly summary for every class meeting. I have been pleasantly surprised at the self-direction taken and the creativity demonstrated to provide their peers with meaningful summaries and supplemental resources to course content. In the beginning, I take the role of expert and guide students into more active participant roles. As they become more confident in their abilities, I begin to move outward to become more of an observer as the students become the leaders of the wiki's development. By the end of the course, the wiki has evolved into a unique representation of the class community. |
