When an unsuspecting American tourist stumbles upon this secret, he sets in motion a CIA investigation that will reveal horrifying police state savagery and superpower treachery.
©1999 Nelson DeMille; (P)2009 Hachette
"Riveting." (Publishers Weekly)
"Incredibly Good"
I have read at least 200 books in the last couple of years and mostly murder mysteries. This book falls into that category but also a great history lesson with Russia in years past and possibly present. It is fiction, but truly possible. Maybe the Charm School itself is not truly realistic but it doesn't matter. This was a book that made me want to call in sick from work and just get into it until the end. It is not a happy book and not totally a happy ending but it is a glimpse of a piece of our history with Russia that certainly could have happened and in other ways, probably did. I consider this book one of two that I have read that I consider the best I've ever listened to. The other book of this caliber is "Black Cross" by Greg Iles. Do not miss this one either. I love murder mysteries with cops and robbers and all of that but these are truly special and not to be missed. I will definitely read this book and Black Cross again in the future. They are both astounding in my estimation.
I hear voices. But maybe that's because there's always an Audible book in my ear.
"Creepy. And terrific."
This is a bit like "The Truman Show" mixed in with espionage and the KGB. The premise is plausible and that's what makes it SO terrifying. Of course there are some unbelievable events - that's fiction for you - but listening to this now reminded me of the fear we all had of the Russians back when I was a kid.
I never really knew how this would go and that's what I like about DeMille as an author. His books are just as good today as they are when they were new. This is a good, long listen.
I enjoy counter-terrorism, westerns, historical fiction, detective mysteries, and old school comedy like "A Christmas Story".
"Love to predict plot? Forget it! What a thriller!!"
This book does not insult the intelligence. It feeds thrills upon thrills of unexpected plot twist and turns. I lost so many hours of sleep because I could not turn off my bedside compact audio book player tuned for 30 min and then sleep. I kept resetting it for another 30 min....and then another 30 minutes...and then...heck, I was so stimulated I could not sleep and had to take a sleep aid if I wanted 6.5 hours sleep before work. Nelson Demille has created a true fan in me. Just get this book. It is one of the best I have read in 60 years, to include 4.5 years as a USMC officer. Love spy craft? This is a fine read.
"Gripping and disturbing"
Very very gripping. Scott Brick's reading is superb. He imitates accents and inflections really well. While I know the book is fiction. It's also feasible at least by analogy and in that disturbing.
"Long But Worth The Time"
DeMille has a talent of making me laugh even in the most outrageous circumstances. This was a very different setting than the typical DeMille books, but I found it to be very informative and entertaining. No matter what the subject matter, his dry humor and wit make his books interesting plus this one adds a history lesson. A little long and rambling in some spots, but easy to overlook if you just enjoy the story rather than analyze the circumstances behind it.
"The Charm School"
This is the best Audio Book I have listened to since joining many years ago. Scott Brick's naration is superb.
"Really Chilling Book"
I almost passed on this book. I could not see how
this supposed 'thriller' could be related to a 'Charm School'. Wow! Was I ever wrong.
The detailed description of the Country was so thorough I felt as though I were on a tour.
I love this author. Mr. Brick did a yeoman's job
The last quarter of the story was totally unexpected.
"Scott Brick"
I know a lot of you love Scott Brick as a narrator, and I will give him credit for his Russian. That being said, I find his sing-song narrating obnoxious. There! I said it!
"Started off great but...."
I have listened to all of Nelson DeMille's books that audible has and I've read others in print. I have to say, this book had real potential and then went absolutely nowhere. This is the first book I've actually fast forwarded through. Also, I used to love listening to Scott Brick but he's really wearing on me. Far too dramatic. There were times where he may have been reading a non-dramatic sentence but read it with such thrust and drama that I was becoming annoyed.
This book could have been cut in half and it might have been better. The xenophobia was over the top in this one. Bad, bad Russia -- enough already! We get it! Overall, I was very disappointed.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Let me point out a few things on body shop repairs.
1) Estimates, specially ones done by insurance adjusters, are notoriously inaccurate, and there are more often than not, supplements done. Although it used to be that insurance companies wanted accuracy, that has changed. Now they want the estimates written light, then supplements done for additional damages found. That way they reduce their costs.
2) Many shops will repair panels and parts that are written to be replaced. They will substitute the repair time for the part cost, making their bottom line look better, because they don't have to spend the money for the part. That is often not disclosed to the vehicle owner unless they show up while the vehicle is being repaired.
3) The body shop did the work for you, as the customer. Even if you were sent to that shop by the insurance company, you were the customer, not that company. Some companies in this area will inspect a vehicle, or have it done in a qualified shop, to determine if the repairs were done as described in the estimate submitted for payment. If there are discrepancies, they will often pay another shop to correct the repair, and bill the original shop.
I would request a copy of the final estimate for the repairs. That is the estimate that they actually paid on, including all supplements. I can assure you that I would have a detailed receipt from the shop for any repairs that they claimed they did.
re: Paint does not match
Well we had our little meeting with the insurance adjuster today...
First off he agrees that the paint does not match but said the blending done on the fender is the closest that should be expected. He seems to believe that it not being made to match the undamaged door is ok and he will not authorize further paint repair...
Today I was given a copy of the insurance estimate. I looked it over and it is very detailed as far as what was seen BEFORE repairs were made. In light of this I called the body shop and asked for a copy of the actual work order. They told me there was no work order, the estimate IS the work order and receipt, and repairs were made strictly according to the estimate. This leads me to believe that there may be more damage that was not found during the estimate and maybe some that was not reported to the insurance company by the body shop.
Monday the Jeep is going to a local dealership to have the steering looked at. The steering is abnormally tight, almost like the tie rods or drag link were way over tightened, the steering wheel is at 11 o'clock going straight, it pulls hard right and at times will suddenly take off to the left.(Rack and pinion maybe?)
Anyhow I told the guy that I'm not going to just go away because he said no to fixing the paint and he should expect to hear from a lawyer in the very near future.
And to top it all off I am now working 7 12's on a night shift(I found out when I got here today) instead of 10's...So the only time I will get to see my wife and kids in the foreseeable future is going to be at 55 in opposite directions on US 17...Rant over thanks for listening
Since you are in Gloucester, you are not far from me. One problem with the insurance companies here is how they look at blend panels. There are a couple of companies that will not pay for blending on any panels that have any type of damage on them. That includes any door dings or any chips in the paint that they can find. Their reasoning is that the panel already needs painting, so they won't pay for it. That puts the shop/painter in the middle. They ae ultimately responsible with making you, the customer, happy with the job.
As far as what was actually done to the vehicle, you have a right to a copy of that repair order/estimate. It should show all parts and labor that went into the repair. That includes, if the part was replaced with aftermarket (A/M, Quality Replacement), used (LKQ, Recycled), or OEM. The insurance company, if they wrote the estimate, should have provided a copy of the original estimate that they were paying by. If the estimate was written by the shop as a "Direct Repair", the repairs should have been explained, in detail, before they were started.
As was pointed out by someone else, often there will be a slight color change with the addition of another coat of clear during the blend.
paint doesnt match
fbird 88 said it... the car SHOULD be returned to pre-accident condition. I have always had this issue with the OTHER guys insurance company. I am a painter and went through this same ordeal when I had some kid stop his suburban in the middle of the intersection and I t-boned him. front clip was replaced on my truck the front clip did not match the rest of the truck. If I had painted something like this in my shop I would have used variance cards, let down cards, and blended the doors and recleared the entire cab. But that is just the type of work we do in a quality shop. After many phone calls to his insurance company I finally called MY insurance guy took my truck to him after all his company insures the truck. I also contacted my bank which has the loan on the truck.They threatened to sue. the other guys insurance company reopened the claim and repainted the truck. If people would not settle for mediocrity it would start to cost the insurance companies more to fix cars and I guarantee you things would change.
Another point of interest is did the insurance company steer you to or suggest the shop or is it one you picked ?
Some colors are really a challenge. Even just a spray of clear
(no color) will change them darker..
re: Paint does not match
Believe it or not after only about 3 calls from me and 3 from my wife I think the insurance company figured out that I was not going to just go away. Ever since the supervisors got involved they have been very co-operative...
As for the claim, it has not been settled yet. We will not sign off on anything until we are 100% satisfied and we have made that very clear to the body shop and the insurance company.
And now for the part you will just love...The shop in question(who I will not name because at this point I still think that would be unprofessional)is probably one of if not the most respected and most recommended in the Hampton Roads/Tidewater area. They have done work for us in the past with no problems...
Depending on what happens after the meeting today, and definitely before we sign a settlement release I will be taking it to have it inspected by another shop...I'll keep you posted and again thanks for the help!!!
In California you would have a complaint for the Bureau Of Automotive Repair for an improper repair order. EVERY item should be listed.
You know what cracks me up is when everyone blames the insurance company. The insurance company didn't repair this car, and insurance company did not paint this car. Yes, they are a pain in the ars. But the PAINTER is the one who didn't match the color.
I don't know the rules in your state. But here, you could "reopen" the claim being it wasn't repaired properly. And, if the color doesn't match, there is a good posibility that the repairs them selves were done improperly as well.
You REALLY need to have a shop who comes with some recommendations to look it over. You had some structual damage, the rad support was pushed over pretty good. Have the thing looked at by another shop. But DON'T TELL THEM WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. Tell them it was out of state while you were on vaction or something. You may get another shop who knows the guy or something and that whole thing will mean nothing.
re: Paint does not match
Thanks to everyone for the info...
To answer a few questions:
Yes we have already discussed diminished value(the other guy backed out of his driveway and pushed her across two lanes).
Yes the new paint stopped at the limits of the repairs,from the drivers door back and around the back, the tailgate, and the roof were not painted.The biggest noticeable difference is between the left front fender and the drivers door. The fender is slightly darker and has a very glittery gold tone where the original paint does not. Inside the passenger rear door you can see where they taped it off and now there is a ridge at the point where old meets new and it does not match there either, so I don't think they can really get away with the faded paint argument.
Talking to my wife on the phone she said the paperwork she was given lists only parts cost, paint cost, material cost, and labor cost totaling $4700.00. There is no detailed breakdown and I know this is not right...
We have made arrangements to meet with the insurance man tomorrow. Surprisingly enough he suggested that we meet away from the body shop to discuss this and then pending the result of that conversation go back and try to settle this with them.
|Bob C
I understand both sides of this. The painter doesn't want to work for nothing and the ins.co. won't pay him to do it right. 25 years ago the body shop and the mechanical rate was the same and now the body shop rate is less than half. They keep taking away from the body shop and thats why I don't play their games. When I give an estimate I stand my ground and don't give into the ins. co. I would rather loose a job than do it their way.
ins. adjuster>>>>
I agree.
A lot of body shops get away with substandard work just because
most people accept it.
Most will wait to see if a customer accepts it before redoing it,
that way they end up redoing less.
Stand your ground and be firm and I bet you'll get it fixed right.
stand your ground!!!!!!!!!
f-bird 88 is right stand your ground,but know they are going to re-paint 70-80% of the car before it will be liked by you.your getting only !/2 a paint job they are not doing the right thing and it shows, if the painter is worth his salt (painter wise),the painter would have blended the right paint and that should have been it,but it didnot happen so you have to tell them your going to the press and the all the other law people you must to get this right,so stand your ground.....................(bourne51)........
This happens all the time. its a game between the insurance adjusters and shop estimate writers. The bodyman and painter are stuck in the middle.
The insurance companies many times won't pay for the panels to be blended. Under the flat rate estimating system they are supposed to and the painter gets paid for the work required.
But the insurance companies just refuse to pay for these operations.(They will pull it right off a estimate)
If the shop does not play along, they will get the run around from the insurance co. (won't get paid or pay delayed etc).
Future jobs "written off" etc etc.
So they dump it on the painter. He either has to do the prep and bend for free or "cut the panel". (Don't do the blend and hope you won't notice it or won't care)
The only one more powerfull than the insurance companies is YOU! The customer. Stand your ground. Contact your insurance company and insist on seeing the job repair order/invoice and crash estimate.
Look for the paint time and see if the estimate and or job order lists for blend time. Wether it does or not insist that it should. You did not, do not /and will not agree to a two tone paint job. The insurance co will eventually have no choice but to have the car repainted. Wether that means a complete paint job is not your problem. Stand your ground.
If the collision repair shops had more backbone this would not happen. Take notice next time you're out for a drive at how many cars are two toned cause the "panel was cut".
This is one reason why the insurance companies own all the tall buildings. (They control something like 90% of all wealth) They can afford to fix your car properly.
Keep your cool, but stand your ground. Let them both (Ins Co and repair shop) know you will not let it go.
If nessessary get a lawyer to help you.
Can you post a picture that shows the panel mismatch?
I was a automotive painter for many many years. Some days its very challenging to say the least. Some times you jsut have to bite the bullet and paint the whole side.
Some times you have to create your own alternate paint formula by creating test spray out cards and work it till you get a good match. The light coloured metallics with pearl are especially challanging. But it can be done. Yes it takes extra time.
The paint companies that supply to that shop, will help.
They release new alternate formulas all the time.
I used to have quite a library of custom match paint formulas I made up my self over the years for Chryslers ....
So, it looks like they replaced the hood, but there was no (or little) damage on the left front fender? They likely blended the color from the hood onto the left front fender and did a poor job so the blend went to far, meeting the door. How is the match on the passenger side? There, it looks like the fender was replaced and the front passenger door had no damage (or very little at the leading edge) and the color would have been blended back on the door. At the rear of the door there would be no paint, only clear over the whole thing to protect it. This is the norm, and simply called a "Blend panel" (if there was no damage on it). But even if there was a little damage on the front of the door, the color would have been applied just there, then blended back.
What does the color look like at the passenger door to rear door (or quarter panel if this is a two door)?
I'd rather paint the entire side of a car than have a customer of mine
out there with a door or fender a different color.
I don't need that type of advertisement.
I agree with the consensus, the shop is blowing smoke up your %$##^&*%. A competent painter should be able to make a decent match. Stand your ground and do not accept a sub standard repair, it's your right.

I don't want or need a Teela 2.0, however, a variant like the Sorceress Teela you mentioned that could become a regular Teela would be acceptable.
Make Teela (2.0) a regular sub figure, and take a slot
Make Teela (2.0) the quarterly variant of 2014/15 so she don't take a slot
Make Teela (2.0) an out of sub figure, and take a slot
I want A Teela (2.0), but I don't want her to take a slot from a new figure
I don't want a Teela (2.0)
Here's a question for you guys....I know many of us have Teela, but myself, I have a defective one....and I'm not just referring to the long neck peg and bobble head deals....mine has a deformed left forearm peg hole on both sides of her forearm, and it makes the arm loose, and I can't fix it without ruining the figure, which I don't want to do. And my dumb ass only bought 1 back at the BF/CM sale of 2011....
Anyway....this poll is to see how you guys would react to getting a Teela 2.0 over a still missing figure in the upcoming 2 years....and she'd be out of sub, or the 2014 variant.
I do see maybe a Sorceress Teela with removable wing cape then underneath a standard Vintage looking Teela but done like BP She-Ra, or the very least a swappable outfit like Marlena, to go between Sorceress & Teela, giving everyone a second shot at Teela, but also getting a new Teela variant at the same time..... Also 2 heads, so you can have the bird head and the regular Teela head.
I think Teela is the most demanded of the original now out of stock Classics, plus an essential character, therefore she should have a variant (2.0) version done, like now.
What say you?
NOTE: I am not saying just a straight revamp of the original Teela, I am saying make her a variant like Sorceress Teela, and make her kind of like Bubble Power She-Ra where she can revert back to the original Teela through part swaps, but have her Sorceress & regular head included, because unlike MAA, Teela is just too damn expensive to get the 1.0 version of, if you don't already have her....
This way she can be the quarterly variant, she'll take a slot on the sub, but it's a slot anyway already allocated for a variant to which unless it's Filmation Hordak....then I'm perfectly OK with.

I don't want or need a Teela 2.0, however, a variant like the Sorceress Teela you mentioned that could become a regular Teela would be acceptable.

I'm cool with it as long as she comes with the Sorceress parts too.

I don't really have a need for a Teela 2.0, and certainly wouldn't want it taking up any type of slot that would oust an original character. I'd rather they just reissue the original figure for people who haven't been able to get her.

No interest in this character, don't have the original one, so no for me...
I want a new Teela but only if it is 200X or N52.

"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
She can have a sub slot, or be released any other way. I would much rather have a Teela figure than any rare character which I've never heard of before. I think only Modulok and Two-Bad are still out there which I wouldn't want to miss out on verses a Teela OR A BEAST-MAN!
Unless it's a straight up reissue, it's going to take a development slot away from a sub figure. That's just a given, there's no way around that. So, a big part of the question is, are we OK with seeing 1 less sub figure for an updated Teela to get released?
A slight update to Teela (ala He-Man 2.0 that fixed the red eyes and swapped shoulders) to fix the bobble head and maybe give her slightly softer armor and BA Evil Lyn bracers could probably be released outside the sub as an "evergreen" figure, or as a quarterly variant. It would likely sit in stock on mattycollector.com for a while, but it would be a show of good faith to the hardcore fans who are clamoring for more Teela.
I don't think a Teela 2.0 should be put into the subscription, unless it's a fairly significant update. Something like 200X Teela, new 52 Teela, Ice Armor Teela, Snake Teela, Disco Teela, etc.
I would like to see a Teela 2.0, but I wouldn't want any resources taken away from finishing the main line of vintage figures.

http://thefwoosh.com/2014/06/masters...beyond-vintageHey, if you want to wallow in the negative, go nuts. Sure, things arent absolutely perfect, and people passionate about a property can get all keyed up about things. But I dont collect toys to be miserable. So Id rather think about the things that do excite me
I wouldn't mind a DC Teela with Red and Blonde heads

And I am not calling for a slight updated Teela, I am saying if they do a Sorceress Teela (ala BP She-Ra) with swappable parts to allow her to become Sorceress or a standard updated Teela, she could be released as the Sub quarterly variant in 2014, 0r 2015, and bam, we have the Teela 2.0 we've been wanting, but a totally new figure / version to boot.

I still think a Filmation Teela would be just fine. Use the female 2.0 buck, Adora's arms, a new sculpt head that matches the Filmation look more closely, and give her the Adora pistol, Marlena sword, and the Teela shield in gray. Done.
I know Matty said they don't want to do a similar or Filmation Teela, but they are missing out on a HUGE opportunity.
Take it easy,
Looking for: deals on MOTUC Roboto, King He-Man, Meckaneck, Zoar (from Sorceress) and more!
Have to trade: A couple MOTU vintage, GIJOE (vintage 3.75 inch and 25th Anniversary figures and vehicles), Star Wars, Transformers (movie line), and Marvel Universe and a few Marvel Legends, plus MORE!.
darthdrew13's B/S/T
Quartery variant.
I'm not interested in a Sorceress Teela or any of her new DC looks.
A variant based on either her 200X or Filmation design would be my preferred choice.
I suppose they could include a removable falcon cloak to put on the blonde Battleground figure, for those who liked her "Sorceress in Training" attire.
I would prefer a Filmation style over 200X but we know that neither are supposedly happening (too close in appearances), I just figured a more Sorceress styled Teela (so they can justify it, and use it with the He-Ro story, and go with King He-Man) so they can have a second He-Ro era figure, and have He-Man and his wife.

Already have both Teelas so I'm good.
It'd be cool if they re-released the original one for ALL the people that need her though so they don't have to pay Scalp-Or $100s of dollars on eBay.
If they did make a new one, I'd obviously buy her because I have a serious MOTU problem, but she definitely shouldn't take up a sub slot.
I'd take any of these Teela figures:
-Bride of Skeletor
-Pink repaint (with a Pink repaint Sorceress!)
-'87 film (if that ever becomes feasible)
I do not want Filmation and could pass on MYP.
Now, if one of these variants came with swapped hair-color heads, that'd be killer. I did actually paint some myself, and they're nice, but I want official blonde hair-up and red hair-down heads.

66% of 77 voters say yes, and regardless if it's considered enough (when only 77 voters out of the tens of thousands of MOTUC collectors voted....compared to the 34% that say no, and you know some of them if faced with her actually being made and she popped up on Matty, would buy her too) or not to have her made....those that want her, outweigh those that are whatever.

There are two ways they could do this and not lose a slot.
1) Teela 2.0 with blonde tiara head & 200X pony tail head; two piece body armor with twist waist - enclosed with Battle Unicorn (recently trademarked) - aka "Charger."
2) 200X Sorceress - two heads: myp sorceress & red head Teela (maybe long 200X pony tail); two outfits:
A) winged sorceress gear - and use a modified Octavia torso wings plug into back via holes through armor.
B) a version of the Teela 1.0 armor done in two pieces to allow for the twist waist... But with a high enough back to hide the holes for the wings.
A Want List of Sorts: Peekablue, Saurod, Veena, Calix, Evilseed, 200X Head Pack, Mara, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter... and all the other POP & NA characters.

Strap-on sex toys are dildos that fit in a special harness allowing women to penetrate their partner just like a man would with a real penis. There are different types of strap-ons; some have a simple dildo that slides into the harness, others have a vac-u-lock system that provides added stability for the dildo, and others even have a strap-on vibrating dildo or butt plug. Strap-on dildos can be used as a vaginal or anal sex toy and come in a range of sizes to accommodate beginners and experts alike. The actual strap-on harness comes in adjustable sizes as well, and Adam & Eve even offers a plus size model. When you're ready to wield the penis power get your strap on out and saddle up for a great ride, just don't forget your sex lube.

Soccer tandem nets SAAC honor
October 2, 2012
Freshman Ashley Stockton and junior Antonio Trujillo
For the second time in as many weeks, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee came up with two worthy players for its weekly honor.
Women's soccer freshmen Ashley Stockton (Waynesville, OH/Waynesville) and men's soccer junior Antonio Trujillo (Cincinnati, OH/Princeton) were named SAAC co-Players of the Week after helping their respective teams to wins over Muskingum.
Trujillo had four saves, including a one-headed stop late in the second half to preserve the shutout, as Wilmington opened OAC action with a 1-0 overtime win over Muskingum.
In a game in which the Fightin' Quakers scored eight goals, it is a defender that shined the brightest. Stockton thwarted several Muskie runs that help hold Muskingum shotless in the first half. Wilmington recorded its eighth shutout of the season.
In recognition of the accomplishments, they will receive a T-shirt from SAAC, and their photos and list of accomplishments will be displayed in the lobby of Hermann Court.
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight about the student-athlete experience. SAAC protects student-athlete interests and provides a positive image of student-athletes.

In Zend Framework 1.x and before, Zend_Uri was mostly used for representation and validation of URIs of specific schemes, and the only scheme implemented was of HTTP URIs. In addition, Zend_Uri 1.0 was not capable of representing partial or relative URIs, and URIs of arbitrary schemes, and did not provide tools for resolving, encoding and normalizing URIs.

This proposal describes a set of changes and improvements (effectively a complete rewrite) to Zend_Uri for Zend Framework 2.0, that will address the deficiencies mentioned above.
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
- Zend\Uri will allow representation of generic URIs as objects
- Zend\Uri will allow programmatic composition of URIs using getter/setter methods to various URI parts
- Zend\Uri will allow creation of URI objects through string parsing
- Zend\Uri will allow representation of partial and relative URIs
- Zend\Uri will closely follow RFC-3986 definitions for URI syntax
- Zend\Uri will always produce RFC-3986 compliant URIs when converting URI objects back to a string
- Zend\Uri will attempt to be flexible when parsing string URIs and accept invalid URIs or URI parts if these can be encoded into a syntactically valid URI
- Zend\Uri will provide subclasses for representation of scheme-specific URIs
- Zend\Uri will allow users to easily create their own scheme-specific classes
- Zend\Uri scheme subclasses may enforce additional validation rules on URIs
- Zend\Uri scheme subclasses may provide additional protocol or scheme specific APIs
- Zend\Uri will allow automatic string-to-object conversion using the factory pattern
- Zend\Uri will provide API for resolving relative URIs
- Zend\Uri will provide API for normalizing URI strings
- Zend\Uri will provide API for converting absolute URIs into relative URIs based on a shared absolute base URI
- Zend\Uri will provide generic methods for validating and encoding different URI parts
- Zend\Uri will not provide an interface for strict validation or encoding of URI strings.
- These operations should be provided by Zend\Validate and Zend\Filter classes that may internally rely on Zend\Uri encoding and validation methods.
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
- Zend\Validate\Hostname
- Zend\Validate\Ip
- Zend\Exception
5. Theory of Operation
The Zend\Uri component will provide a concrete class (Zend\Uri\Uri) implementing RFC-3986 compatible Generic URI Syntax parsing, composition, resolution, validation encoding and normalization of URIs. This class will be concrete and could be used to represent any compliant URI, including scheme specific URIs and partial or relative URIs.
In addition, Zend\Uri will provide a set of subclasses of Zend\Uri\Uri (initially Zend\Uri\Http and Zend\Uri\File) that will only be capable of representing URIs of specific schemes, and will enforce additional validation rules in addition to those defined by the Generic Syntax RFC. These subclasses may still be able to represent partial or relative URIs, as long as they comply with any rules imposed by the scheme.
Parsing and Composition
URI parsing and composition will be done following the parsing and composition rules defined in the RFC. The aim is to be relatively lax when parsing string URIs and setting different URI parts using accessor methods, and accept input as long as it can eventually be encoded into a valid URI when the object is converted back to a string.
For example, the URI file:///C:/Program Files/Zend will be accepted by the parser despite the fact that it's path component (C:/Program Files/Zend) contains an invalid space character. When the URI is composed back into a string and is normalized, it will be represented as file:///C:/Program%20Files/Zend, which is a valid and RFC-compliant URI.
Zend\Uri will refuse to parse a string or accept a part set through one of the mutator methods only if the input can never be unambiguously converted into a valid URI part.
For example, the following will not be allowed:
Since the scheme of a URI may never contain spaces and the URI syntax rules do not define a mean to represent a space character in the scheme part.
In contrast, the following will be allowed:
Since although the ' ' and '#' signs may not be used literally in the query part of a URI, they can be encoded as '%20' and '%23' respectively when the URI is re-composed.
Relative URI Resolution
One of the common tasks to preform with URIs is resolving relative URIs and merging a base URI with a relative URI to form a canonical representation of the relative URI. Unlike Zend_Uri 1.0, the new implementation will expose an API for resolving a (possibly relative) URI against an absolute base URI to form an absolute URI.
Additionally, Zend\Uri will expose an API to perform the opposite operation: "subtract" a common base URI from an absolute URI to form a relative reference.
Both methods can be useful for example when composing or parsing HTML pages, and when creating links in portable applications.
Zend\Uri\Uri and it's subclasses will expose an API to normalize URI objects. This normalization method should be used, for example, before comparing two URI strings to check if they are identical.
For example, the following URLs, while syntactically different, are semantically equivalent:
The normalization API will allow the user to compare these two URIs, by normalizing them using the RFC defined normalization rules (and possibly scheme-specific normalization added in Zend\Uri\Uri subclasses). In the example above, the normalized URIs would both be converted to: http://www.example.com/?foo=bar
Normalizing URIs will include:
- Converting the scheme to lower case
- Removing the port if it is equal to the scheme's default port
- Decoding any percent-encoded characters which do not need to be encoded
- Replacing an empty path with '/' in URIs that have an authority part
- Converting percent-encoding hexadecimal characters to upper case
- Removing empty port, query or fragment parts
- Additional scheme specific normalization (e.g. in HTTP URLs lower-casing the host name)
Automatic Scheme-specific Class Selection
Zend\Uri will provide a factory-pattern class (Zend\Uri\UriFactory) which will allow users to pass URI strings into it. Depending on the URI string scheme, the Factory method will return a scheme-specific class to represent the URI if such class is registered with the UriFactory class. By default, the scheme-specific classes provided by Zend\Uri will be registered with the factory class, and users will be able to register additional scheme-specific subclasses of Zend\Uri (or overwrite any pre-registered schemes) with the factory class, if they wish to implement their own URI classes.
If the URI string is relative and does not specify a scheme, users may specify a default scheme to fall back to (e.g. when parsing an HTML page fetched using HTTP, relative href links are assumed to be of the HTTP scheme).
If the factory method will not find the appropriate scheme class, or is unable to detect the URI scheme and no default scheme was specified, it will fall back to using the generic syntax Zend\Uri\Uri class.
Scheme-specific Functionality
In addition to the above, and to the enforcement of specific validation rules, Zend\Uri\Uri subclasses may also expose additional scheme-specific functionality.
For example, the File scheme class may expose methods to convert a Win32 or Unix file path into a file:/// URI.

9. Class Skeletons
Aug 02, 2010

This is badly needed. The API looks really good so far, as does the capacity to add new schemes. When it gets through the proposal process, I'd love to add support for a few other schemes which are used/(will be) used in other parts of the framework (tag: and data: spring to mind among others). Look forward to seeing this in community review section!

Aug 02, 2010

Looks nice. Some notes:

1. It would be nice if relative resolution functions were able to accept absolute URLs too (returning the absolute one back then, normalized or not). There are situations where it is not known if the URL you're getting is relative or not, it'd make the API more convenient. Maybe it was the idea but description says "relative" so I mention this just in case <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

2. "generate" looks a bit confusing - it's not obvious that it will produce the URL string. Maybe just toString() would be ok?

3. host, port, etc. are part of base URI API, but not all URIs have those. On the other hand, there seems to be no method of separating the scheme from the rest, it is unclear how to work with URIs like firstname.lastname@example.com - there's getScheme() but not getting the rest of it.

4. Continuing from the previous one, it would be nice if for particular URI handler (like Http) there was a way to know if certain URI "belongs" to it - without going through factory and creating the actual class.

5. Having out-of-the-box support for something like mailto: and data: would be nice <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Aug 02, 2010

1. That's the plan - see the last example in UC-04 above.

2. I agree. BTW ->generate() is wrapped in __toString() anyway. Although I agree the name toString() makes more sense (+ wrapping with __toString() for magic casting purposes)

3. In fact, for a URI like email@example.com getPath() would do - for a URI like http://firstname.lastname@example.com/baz it obviously won't but I'm not sure why you'd want / need access to "anything but the scheme". Can you give a use case where you would need more than that?

BTW with Zend\Http\Client we do need access to things like getPath() + getQuery() (when constructing the HTTP request) but that's really not a reason to implement another method for it.

4. I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you'd try to do:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:default-parameter>php</ac:default-parameter><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
$uri = new Zend\Uri\Http('file:///foo/bar');

It would throw an exception. Each subclass "knows" which schemes it accepts. The Factory class allows you to parse a page full of URIs and get exactly the right subclass for each one without checking it's scheme in advance. Again, can you explain with a use case what you need?

5. I think that makes sense (I started proposing mailto: but dropped it because personally I have no idea what specific APIs are required from it). Once this generally makes sense I can try to propose additional scheme specific classes.

Aug 05, 2010

4. What I was meaning is a way to know that URI belongs to a module without actually running a ctor and getting exception, etc. I.e., suppose I have script that goes over all URIs in an HTML page and converts them from relative to absolute and then replaces the server name with another name. I could instantiate every URI via factory and check the type but a) I don't really care about non-HTTP ones, so why waste resources on instantiating them and b) if there's some link to a scheme that is not supported I get an exception even though only thing I wanted to know is that it's "not HTTP" - I don't care what it is beyond that. So I think a quick way to check "HTTP or not" makes sense, if I need to ignore URIs of different types.

Nov 13, 2010

I've modified UC-07 to demonstrate the use of a new parseScheme() static method, following your suggestion.

Nov 15, 2010

In a narrow case, WebBrowser use currently webpage's base tag's URL, if it is available as Base URL(<base href=>). It may be well to mention it on manual as notice.

Nov 15, 2010

Indeed that's true, and the URI RFC actually provides good examples of how partial URI resolving should work based on context. However, I do not see this as a part of the Zend\Uri domain - Zend\Uri is about constructing URIs and not about understanding the context in which they are used.

Zend\Http\Client will have to do some of that (for example when handling redirects), and possibly some of the other components (Zend\Feed comes to mind), and will be able to use Zend\Uri APIs to do so.

I do agree it may be worth to mention this in the documentation.

Aug 02, 2010

Can you rename the method generate to toString?

There is already code by DASPiD:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/user/dasprid/Zend_Uri-2.0

Aug 04, 2010

Yes I think it makes sense (see above).

Edit: generate() renamed to toString() as suggested.

Aug 03, 2010

Very nice design, let get into the incubator to run in my own test field :-D

Nov 14, 2010

Also it would be nice to add a method for adding/setting/deleting query paramters. At the moment you are only able to set a complete query string but on the other hand you are able to return the query parameters array.

As usecase it is imaginable to pass an uri object to some methods and each of these methods can add/set/delete a parameter.

Also it is useful to build query strings because you don't have to decide whether to use the "?" or "&" for concatenation to build the uri.

Nov 15, 2010

Currently the setQuery() method will accept an associative array of parameters, from which it can build the query string.

I am not sure offering a set of functions to manage specific parameters (set value, delete, add) is in the scope of Zend\Uri. Query string parameter representation is actually not a part of the URI specification - in the generic URI syntax the query string can represent any kind of information as long as it uses the right set of characters. This is probably more in the context of other components using Zend\Uri, such as Zend\Http\Client.

In any case if demand for this comes up I will add such functionality (perhaps through a standalong class "Zend\Uri\QueryBuilder") but I'm not sure this is a must have for first version.

Nov 15, 2010

why use toString()?

we can't use magic methode like __tostring() and have something more quick to write : echo $uri->resolve($baseUri); else of echo $uri->resolve($baseUri)->toString(); ??

Nov 15, 2010

__toString is implemented and is a wrapper around toString() - so you can use automatic casting just as well.

There is a subtle difference however: toString() may throw an exception if the URL as a whole is not valid and cannot be composed into a string. This is an unlikely situation but can happen, for example, if you start from a blank URI, and only set the port, but not the host. This cannot be a valid URI because if a port or a userInfo section are not empty, the host must also not be empty.

In this case toString() will throw an InvalidUriException, but __toString will not (cannot throw an exception from __toString in 5.3). Instead, __toString() will return a blank string.

I personally very pleased with what I see. It is a gift so can't speak for recipient. He only buys top quality so am sure he will be pleased as well
Excellent quality. Would recommend to anyone for the perfect gift.
My brother-in-law received his wallet way sooner than I thought he would. Thank you! He likes it very much and my sister said it was a "class act" the way it was mailed and wrapped and the note was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Leatherology to anyone.
I would have liked the wallet a little thinner but it's fine as is. Outstandingly construction, material and packaging.
I am so pleased with this elegant product--with the superb quality and coloration of its leather, with its beautiful stitching, and with (as advertised) its slimness yet its completeness as a wallet. Its product presentation by Leatherology--in an embossed box, with the wallet enclosed in a soft-as-butter (and also embossed) cleaning cloth--is elegant, and especially welcome since I ordered this wallet as a gift.
I recommend this product, this company, and its product presentation to anyone searching Leatherology's site.
I am very satisfied with the wallet. The leather smells and looks great! The initials that I had put on take it to the next level.
I would highly recommend this item for purchase!
I bought this wallet for my boyfriend for our anniversary and he absolutely loved it!! Excellent quality and very flattering packaging!!
Very pleased with your product and speedy delivery. Only complaint I entered the code for free shipping and it still made me pay for it. I recommend your site.
The wallet was beautifully wrapped, and the personalized card was of high quality. The wallet was a soft, supple leather, in a vibrant, beautiful blue. The monogramming was so precise and crisp. We couldn't be more pleased with the purchase!
I bought this as a gift for my husbands birthday and couldn't be happier! He loved it!
Exactly what I wanted; beautifully constructed and effuses elegance through it's simplistic design.
Very pleased with the product.
Great quality leather.
My husband will love this wallet!
Stunning leather
Nice wallet. Poor communication. This was a gift, I ordered a week ahead of time. Paid extra for 2 day shipping just to be safe, and the wallet still got here late. Will not order from this company again because of that.
Bought this wallet for my husband for our 3 yr. anniversary (leather) and it is wonderful! The color is exactly as pictured and the leather is great quality.
I received the wallet I purchased as present for my husband today and could not be more please. The product is of great quality, shipping was timely, and the excellent gift wrap was a nice touch. I am nothing short of impressed and will pass this opinion on to anyone looking for a unique gift idea.
The wallet was very nice. Slim, soft, and a lovely warm chocolate brown. It was quite adequate in size, with ample slots for cards and a roomy space for bills. The construction was excellent, and the monograming was just as ordered. I was very pleased. Everything was exactly as I requested. The product was shipped on time, and received on time, as well. I would definitely order another product from this company.
The service is impeccable, the product is well made and it was such an easy process. I love the wallet. I had it monogrammed and it looks fabulous. Not only that but I was under a major time crunch and it was delivered on time. I called leatherology customer service twice to make sure my order would be here on time and they assured me it would and put me at ease. I will be ordering from them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone.
Absolutely a great wallet. The leather quality is extremely nice and so is the quality. Very pleased that I chose to purchase this wallet over the others I was considering.
I bought a brown leather wallet customized with gold stamping initials for my anniversary. This product was perfect, no problems with shipping, the packaging was beautiful, and the card had everything on it that I asked for. I would order from this company again.
This wallet is the perfect little wallet for me. Very nice leather. I ordered black.
Next time I think I will get it monogrammed.
Also, it was very nicely packaged in a sturdy box with a leather tissue wrapper.
I bought four of these for gifts hoping that the reviews were correct. The wallets look to be of very high quality, the stitching is clean and the leather is very nice. The initials done by blind debossing look fantastic. The packaging is better than described, very classy. The sandalwood color is lighter than my screen shows, but still a great color. I could not be happier with my purchase and will definitely buy from leatherology again (very fast shipping too!).
This wallet is well constructed and attractive and appears to be made of good to high quality leather.
The ad did not make it clear that the leather was grained; not my favorite but acceptable. I like the stitching and the card-storage layout. As a minor negative the card pockets are a little tight leading to difficulty in insertion and removal. I know that the leather will stretch to a good fit but it takes a little patience.
So nice to have a new leather wallet!
I got this wallet for my husband for Father's Day. It seems very nice and the debossing looks great!
The wallet is just what I had hoped it would be. The packaging was superb: The cloth that the wallet is wrapped in and the box with ribbon. Really nice!
Perfect buy
Purchased this wallet as a gift. It was perfect. It arrived much quicker than I anticipated. The embossing was exactly as I had hoped. The quality was also what I had hoped for. Altogether, I am completely satisfied and will be making another purchase for a future gift.
This wallet is the perfect size for me. The quality of the leather seems very good as well. I am expecting this wallet to last as long as my previous wallet (TUMI).
I chose this gift to give to my boyfriend for our one year anniversary, and I am super happy with my choice. I love that that wallet is not as bulky as others, and that it has enough pockets for everything. Really like that I was able to choose what initials to add on it because it made it more personal and memorable. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.
My grandson was looking for his first real wallet and this fit the bill perfectly. I was please with the speed of delivery! Great customer service during the busy holiday season.
I have always liked a thin wallet and thought that the similar Coach product was the only choice. This one seems to be the very same wallet at a much lower price. The Coach wallets held up for more than 5 years each, if the Leatherology product holds up for a equal amount of time, this will be a great substitution.
I was really please with this product' the only thing I was like awww about was the monogram was a little smaller than I expected.
But my husband he smiled from ear to ear when he opened it.
very good item was very fast del will gladly order again
Beautiful presentation. Great quality. Perfect for a gift.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

The Pre-Raphaelite website wins in the Arts and Culture class of the Interactive Media Awards.
Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery's Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource has been named best in the arts and culture class of the Interactive Media Awards – a worldwide award scheme set up to recognise the highest standards of excellence in website design and development and honour individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievement.
The website, produced by Birmingham web developers Tak Design, boasts the largest online collection of Pre-Raphaelite art in the world and over 2,000 fine and decorative artworks with never before seen clarity are available through Silverlight, a plug-in that offers the website and its users an amazing Deep Zoom functionality.
This means visitors to the website can study artworks in great detail, even in some cases seeing frays in the canvas, pencil etchings or brushstrokes. The plug-in gives users a unique opportunity to analyse Pre-Raphaelite work.
Led by Birmingham City Council, the project was funded with help from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC).
The website was launched at the end of June and has already attracted over 40,000 visitors from over 150 countries, including the USA, India, China, Australia, Brazil and Japan.
In addition to the Interactive Media Award it has also been shortlisted for two DADI (Drum Awards for the Digital Industries).
Reflecting on the Interactive Media Award, Cllr Martin Mullaney, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Sport & Culture said: "This is great news and deserved recognition for a fantastic website that is proving to be a massive hit with art lovers across the world.
"We have a Pre-Raphaelite collection to be proud of here in Birmingham and this website uses the latest digital technology to bring that world class collection to a worldwide audience.
"I'd encourage everyone to visit the site but also come along to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to see these great works of art in the flesh."
The Interactive Media Awards were launched in 2006 by the Interactive Media Council, Inc. (IMC), a non-profit organization of leading web designers, developers, programmers, advertisers and other web-related professionals.
The competition is designed to elevate the standards of excellence on the Internet and offer winners a boost in marketing and exposure. IMC serves as the primary sponsor and governing body of the Interactive Media Awards™, establishes the judging system and provides the judges for the competition.

Nico Rosberg concluded this year's pre-season testing with the fastest time set at Barcelona this year.
Following on from team-mate Lewis Hamilton's P1 time on Saturday, Rosberg not only posted one of his own but even bettered the Brit's time by 0.428s.
The morning's session on the final day of pre-season testing saw a brief battle between Rosberg and Fernando Alonso for the top spot with the German first holding it with 1:20.723.
That, though, was beaten by Alonso who went a tenth up before Rosberg came back with a 1:20.130 on the soft Pirelli tyres.
That time proved to be unbeatable as the day wore on although Alonso did close the gap when he clocked a 1:20.494.
Jenson Button finished in third place but was 1.314s down while Nico Hulkenberg was fourth quickest for Sauber.
Kimi Raikkonen was out on track after recovering from food poisoning, however, a gearbox change cost the Finn valuable track time. He finished with 50 laps and a best time of 1:21.658.
Paul di Resta was sixth for Force India and the last driver to get within two seconds of Rosberg's best as Pastor Maldonado, who was P7, was 2.2s down.
Reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel had a steady but not inspiring day as he completed the top eight.
01 Rosberg Mercedes 1:20.130 131 laps
02 Alonso Ferrari 1:20.494 +0.364 120 laps
03 Button McLaren 1:21.444 +1.314 122 laps
04 Hulkenberg Sauber 1:21.541 +1.411 118 laps
05 Raikkonen Lotus 1:21.658 +1.528 50 laps
06 di Resta Force India 1:21.664 +1.534 112 laps
07 Maldonado Williams 1:22.415 +2.285 42 laps
08 Vettel Red Bull 1:22.514 +2.384 100 laps
09 Bottas Williams 1:22.524 +2.394 31 laps

Fornasetti's reproduction of Lina Cavalieri's face on everyday objects such as plates and trays blends a flair for surrealist art and homeware, with humour and elegance. The company is now run by Fornasetti's son Barnaba, who has added new collections which contribute to the eclectic style of his father, who sadly passed away in the 1980's.
