A WAR hero and community leader who has died at the age of 93 has been described as a 'real gentleman'.
RAF veteran James Dickson, from Earby, died suddenly last week.
Mr Dickson flew Halifax Bombers in the war and was part of the D-Day landings as a member of the esteemed 298 Squadron.
After his war efforts he became a well-known and popular community figure, serving as a Pendle Borough councillor for a number of years into the 1980s.
Former council colleague Doris Haigh said: "He was a real gentleman, a man of many attributes.
"He never had a crossed word with anybody, even when some of our council meetings got a bit rough around the edges he would calm everybody down."
Earby town councillor Vera Cocker said: "James was probably one of the most wonderful people who has ever walked the earth, that is how special he was. His war efforts were phenomenal, even though he didn't like to talk about it, he didn't think he should be bragging about it. He was always working for the village and the town, he would help anyone he could and he never hurt a soul in his life. Virtually everybody in Earby knew him, he was incredibly popular."
Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson said: "I knew James quite well and he was a popular member of the community and of the local Conservative branch.
"He did a lot of voluntary work in the community and was involved in a number of community project. He was passionate about Earby.
"My thoughts are with his wife Cynthia and his family and friends."

Woman killed in Friday crash identified
Updated 6:18 am, Monday, November 4, 2013
SAN ANTONIO — A woman who was killed Friday after she was ejected from her SUV when it was hit by another motorist has been identified as Anita Ortiz, 63, according to the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office.
The crash occurred around 8:30 a.m. Friday near East Formosa Boulevard and Pleasanton Road. Ortiz was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died there around 11 a.m., officials said.
The second motorist, whom officials have not identified, was speeding down East Formosa in a gray Ford F-250 with a trash can wedged beneath the truck, police at the scene said. He ran a red light and then hit the SUV driven by Ortiz. The side of the SUV was sheared off and Ortiz was ejected.
News Channel
The wrecked pickup truck, which police determined had been stolen, had no seats inside and the driver was sitting on a folding chair. Police at the scene said that is indicative of smuggling because it saves space.

KristopherKubicki - Saturday, June 12, 2004 - linkThe AGP port has always been a hack on the PCI bus anyway - electrically it isnt that much different so this *does* make sense.
Kristopher Reply
KalTorak - Monday, June 07, 2004 - linkDerek - an x16 interface has sixteen diff pairs going each way, for a total of 64 signal lines. 4GB/s each way, simultaneously.
This should also resolve your dilemma about the x1 interface - one pair in each direction, four total wires.
As for getting a PCI-E spec, see if Anand can just join PCI SIG. :) Reply
Minot - Sunday, June 06, 2004 - linkDid Asrock do the same thing getting an AGP port on an Intel 865GV chipset motherboard? Their P4I65GV has what they call A.G.I. (Asrock Graphics Interface). It would make sense to me that this is also an implementation using the PCI bus interface. Or did they do something entirely different to get true AGP on that chipset? Reply
MIDIman - Saturday, June 05, 2004 - linkHey - its a digital camera right? You should've just showed the Gigabyte people the picture that you took earlier! "Oh, that's clearly been doctored with Photoshop..." Reply
Gandalf90125 - Friday, June 04, 2004 - link"...you can actually run an AGP card in PCI mode, giving up all of the benefits of AGP obviously."
Can anybody say "3dfx"? Reply
Bozo Galora - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkMuch better more informative series of articles lately. Thumbs up.
As far as the AGP pipeline, I think that it's the reason for most of the probs today with freezing, reboots and dumping to desktop. In the ATI smartgart tab you might find the AGP set to "0" (not 4X or 8X) by the self testing proceedure. What this means is that the AGP bus is shut off to the supposedly contiguous (gart) system memory address tables set in RAM. With a 128MB card probably, and a 256MB card definitely, it never has to offload work to the memory anyway, it does all work internally. People misrepresent this as no AGP, but if the card is set to 8X in BIOS, the cards mode is AGP VOLTAGE and IS much faster than AGP MODE (no busing involved), until it has to offload something, and cant (slowdown). We DO need a PCI high end videocard, because AGP 4X/8X is a failure. Remember the loop??? I want a NO AGP bus/gart table 1GB vram superfast memory PCI vidcard. Who cares about the bus.
And heres your 89 page AGP 8X nightmare.
I just bought a 9800pro and its a non functioning piece of crap. So now I have to go thru the endless driver in/out shuffle. I am really getting tired of this. The fact yours may work perfectly is irrelevant - for the average Joe, its a hopeless situation.
Why the hell cant I just put in a card, load the drivers and have it work 100% - is that asking too much?? If a game or app doesnt work with a state of the art card they should not be allowed to sell it.
What a business.
DerekWilson - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkMeh ... PCI Express nominclature (or maybe its explaination) could use some work ... maybe we'll do some in depth analysis for our first x16 vid card reviews ...
The problem this: PCI Express for Graphics, which is x16, is defined (as I understand it) as 8 dedicated up and 8 dedicated down lines. You could call it full duplex with 8GB/s, or 4GB/s in each direction or whatever ... But does PCI Express x1 work the same way? It wouldn't be really possible since you'd have only one direction of communication (which wouldn't work for anything). So why don't they call the base spec x2 (since its got 250MB/s in each direction)? or why isn't the graphics spec called x8 (if each pair of up and down lines is called a connection as in x1)?
I've gotta check with Anand to see if he's been able to purchase or aquire the PCI Express specification yet ... Reply
Filibuster - Friday, June 04, 2004 - link>maximum of 500MB/s (8GB/s / 16)
For full duplex, yes. Only 250MB/s in one direction, and almost all video traffic goes one way.
Also, 133MB/s for standard PCI does not account for it's overhead either, so comparing the two theoretical speeds is probably best overall. Reply
dvinnen - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkSeems like it would be easier to drop a nVidia-like bridge chip into the mother board it's self. I wouldn't think they need much tracing. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkoh .. and if these guys wanted to do build something with less of a performance impact, they could run the AGP card in 2x mode, drop in a buffer to build up 64bit packets of data (rather than the 32bits on the interface) and hook it up to a 64bit 66MHz PCI bus.
That'd basically quadruple the bandwidth they're looking at right now with a glorified PCI slot.
Of course, maybe my idea is harder to impliment than I'm thinking ... but engineers are engineers for a reason right? Crack the whip! Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkso 32bit 33MHz has a max bandwidth of 133MB/s obviously (4 bytes * 33.3 MHz) ...
maybe if we could ever get a copy of the actual PCI Express specifications we could tell you just how much data you could transfere (its not as easy as width times speed since bus utilization is much lower due to the fact that control signals must also be sent serially).
If we are to believe what we've been hearing about x16 PCI Express with graphics cards, then we would talking about a maximum of 500MB/s (8GB/s / 16) ... Though the effective bandwidth could be much lower than that (though probably not lower than 256MB/s) depending on what kind of control and signallling goes on. So x1 PCIe is, at maximum, less than a quarter of the speed of AGP 8x. Which means it will also be much less (utilization issues) than the speed of a 64bit 66MHz PCI slot (533MB/s).
the nice little x4 PCIe slots will do well for high bandwidth devices that need something like a 64bit 66MHz PCI or a PCI-X slot right now (I'd like four gigabit ethernet ports in one slot please). Reply
Filibuster - Friday, June 04, 2004 - link>Why don't they put the AGP on a PCI-Express 1x instead of the old 32-bit 33 MHz PCI?
Because PCIexpress is serial and PCI/AGP are parallel, so it would be much more difficult to adapt. Basically the HSI chip Nvidia is using would have to be on the motherboard, along with any trace design that it requires.
1X PCIExpress isn't much faster than standard PCI either, at least when you compare it to 2G/s AGP. Reply
kherman - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkI'll laugh if Intel AGP cards don't work because they didn't follow the AGP standard. Didn't they drop the ball on that once before with AGP slots. Something about supporting both 3.3V and 5V interfaces to AGP slots? Reply
AtaStrumf - Friday, June 04, 2004 - linkWhy don't they put the AGP on a PCI-Express 1x instead of the old 32-bit 33 MHz PCI? Reply

A Navy medical corpsman from Murrieta was awarded the Bronze Star with V for valor on Friday for his actions in Afghanistan in 2011.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael J. Marchante received the medal, the fourth-highest U.S. military medal for individual valor, during a ceremony in Bremerton, Wash.
Marchante was serving as the field "doc" for 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company on July 19, 2011, in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
During an ambush, the corpsman ran down 300 meters of road littered with improvised bombs to render aid to an injured Georgian officer, the Navy said.
Marchante is also credited with using his own body to shield the casualty from enemy fire while he applied tourniquets and dressings prior to a medical evacuation.
The corpsman served with the Marine Corps gunfire liaison company in Afghanistan from May 15 to Dec. 4, 2011.
During that deployment, he conducted more than 100 combat patrols and 50 convoys in support of the 33rd and 31st Georgian Light Infantry Battalion and repeatedly moved under fire to aid casualties, according to a Marine Corps statement.

Homers from Morse, Belt lift Giants to late victory
First baseman slugs game-winning shot in second game off DL
SAN DIEGO -- Michael Morse bellowed as he rounded the bases after slugging a ninth-inning home run. Sergio Romo hollered to the heavens after blanking the San Diego Padres in the bottom of the inning.
Indeed, this was a primal scream of a victory for the struggling Giants, who received a two-run homer from Brandon Belt in Saturday's 10th inning to outlast the Padres, 5-3.
The Giants could release the frustration that rose while losing 18 of their previous 23 games. They also could celebrate the diligence they've maintained as they've tried to reverse their flagging fortunes.
"We're making a conscious effort," right-hander Tim Hudson said. "That's how you have to get out of slumps like this."
Belt, who returned Friday from an eight-week stint on the disabled list with a fractured left thumb, had gone hitless in seven at-bats since being activated until he faced Dale Thayer (3-3) in the 10th. After Hunter Pence stretched a single into a double to open the inning, Belt lined Thayer's 2-2 delivery into the right-field seats for his 10th homer of the season, breaking a 3-3 tie.
Dissatisfied after striking out against Padres setup reliever Joaquin Benoit to lead off the eighth inning, Belt retired to the batting cage adjacent to Petco Park's visitors' clubhouse to sharpen his stroke with a hitting drill before his next plate appearance. He welcomed the instant results.
"Sounded good, felt good -- made me feel good," Belt said.
San Diego nearly won it in the ninth after Chase Headley doubled to open the inning off Romo. But shortstop Brandon Crawford saved a run by diving to snare Yasmani Grandal's grounder up the middle before throwing to first base for the out.
"I thought I got a pretty good jump on it, but I had to make the play," Crawford said.
Romo then stranded Headley at third base by inducing Cameron Maybin's popup and striking out pinch-hitter Carlos Quentin.
"It's not about what I did," said Romo, who was removed from the closer's role last Sunday after squandering three of five save opportunities. "It's about finding a way to contribute."
Morse felt the same way as he ended his home run drought in timely fashion. He lined Huston Street's 0-1 slider into the left-field seats to erase San Francisco's 3-2 deficit leading off the ninth. It broke Morse's 24-game streak without a home run, a stretch that encompassed 90 at-bats, and ended a skid of 16 consecutive games without an RBI.
The memory of popping up against Street to end Friday's 2-0 loss remained fresh for Morse.
"He threw me two sliders on the outside corner, so I figured he might try to establish a strike early with a fastball," said Morse, who pinned Street's first blown save in 24 opportunities this season on the right-hander. "He threw me the slider and I just tried to touch it, put an easy swing on it."
Morse pumped his right fist several times as he ran out his homer and delivered ferocious high-fives to teammates upon returning to the dugout. Belt started to receive Morse's patty-cake with his recently healed left hand, then realized the risk he was taking.
"I put my right hand up there," Belt said.
Morse, who's 4-for-7 lifetime off Street, said "a little bit of everything" prompted his demonstrative reaction. The stream of defeats, San Francisco's measly total of two hits through eight innings, Hudson's resurgent six-inning, one-run effort following three losses in a row, center fielder Gregor Blanco's balanced performance that included a second-inning homer and a first-inning diving catch -- all that and more stoked Morse's emotion.
He quickly realized that his teammates shared his feelings. "The guys were fired up," Morse said. "I could tell we weren't going to go down easily."

Equipment malfunction at distillery in Eureka causes minor damage to building
EUREKA- firefighters responded to a commercial building after smoke was seen filling the air. The smoke was seen at 10:40 p.m. last night at Marcella Draperies on the 200 block of 7th Street.
Humboldt Bay Fire determined the smoke was due to an equipment malfunction. Firefighters saw smoke when they entered the building, but could not locate a fire. They then saw between five and ten gallons of superheated vegetable oil on the floor of a distillery next to a kettle. They were able to absorb the hot vegetable oil and ventilate the building. Fire officials say a switch that was supposed to shut the heat off of the kettle malfunctioned, causing the vegetable oil to over heat and spill onto the floor. No one was in the building at the time and there were no injuries and only minor damage.
"When you're dealing with equipment, sometimes things don't always work as they're supposed to. So really no negligence, no one's fault, just the switch failed and the unit did not shut off. The owners left the business and went home for the evening. And it's just fortunate that somebody saw the smoke and determine what it was and there was no real further damage at all to the structure," said Fire Chief Ken Woods of Humboldt Bay Fire.

Upgrading from Earlier Cisco IOS Releases
Upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.0(21)SX or Release 12.0(21)SX1
If you are upgrading your software from Cisco IOS Release 12.0(21)SX or Release 12.0(21)SX1 to Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S, you must upgrade the eboot image on the Cisco 10000 series edge services router (ESR). If you fail to upgrade the eboot image, the ESR configuration may not load properly, and a checksum error appears on the console. If you are upgrading the software from an earlier Cisco IOS release, you do not need to upgrade the eboot image.
Upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.(14)SL or from Earlier 12.0(x)SL-based Releases
If you are upgrading your software from Cisco IOS Release 12.0(14)SL or from earlier 12.0(x)SL-based releases to Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S, save your current configuration file. If you decide to reinstall Release 12.0(14)SL or an earlier release, you must also reinstall the configuration file associated with that release. This is because some Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration-file entries in Release 12.0(22)S are not compatible with Release 12.0(14)SL or earlier releases.
Upgrading Software on Redundant PREs
When you upgrade software on redundant Cisco 10000 series Performance Routing Engines (PREs), be sure to download the software to both the active PRE and the standby PRE before you reload both PREs.

New Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(23)SX
The following sections describe the new features and improvements being introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(23)SX:
•Multirouter-Automatic Protection Switching
•MPLS Traffic Engineering Fast Reroute
•DiffServe Aware Traffic Engineering for MPLS
•Link Fragmentation and Interleaving
•Single Rate 3-Color Marker for Traffic Policing
•Cisco 10000 ESR MIB Enhancements
Multirouter-Automatic Protection Switching
The multirouter-automatic protection switching (MR-APS) feature allows switchover of SONET connections in the event of circuit failure. MR-APS is often required when connecting SONET equipment to telco equipment. APS refers to the mechanism of using a "protect" SONET interface in the SONET network as the backup for a working SONET interface. When the working interface fails, the protect interface quickly assumes its traffic load.
The protection mechanism provided by MR-APS has a linear 1+1 architecture, as described in the Bellcore publication TR-TSY-000253, SONET Transport Systems; Common Generic Criteria, Section 5.3. The connection may be bidirectional or unidirectional, and revertive or non-revertive.
MR-APS provides a protection mechanism in which the "working" and "protect" SONET interfaces are on separate routers. MR-APS also allows both interfaces to be on the same router. However, in this case, we recommend you use single router-APS instead.
Single router-APS (SR-APS) provides a protection mechanism in which the working and protect interfaces are both on the same router. This protection mechanism provides a linear 1+1 unidirectional, non-revertive architecture. Note that the ESR supports bridging in the SR-APS implementation.
For more information on this feature, see the following URL. Note that the documentation includes aps commands for POS interfaces. However, the same commands also apply for ATM interfaces.
Recommendation for MR-APS Configurations with Limited Static Routes
If your MR-APS configuration has a limited number of static routes (for example, less than 10), we recommend that you use the following command for gigabit Ethernet, ATM, and POS interfaces that have static routes configured for them.Router(config-if)# ip route static update immediate
The command adds static routes to the routing table immediately when an interface becomes active, rather than after a route dampening period ends.
•Currently, the ESR supports MR-APS only on OC-12ATM interfaces.
•The aps reflector command is not supported in this release.
Multicast for MPLS/VPN
The Multicast for Multiprotocol Label-Switching (MPLS)/Virtual Private Network (VPN) feature allows service providers to offer multicast services over their MPLS core network. Multicast for MPLS/VPN allows end-user customers to improve productivity and communication flow for applications such as corporate communication, e-learning, data warehousing, content synchronization, trading stocks and commodities (stock quotes and ticker information), and emergency messaging services.
Live video and Video-on-Demand applications also require a multicast solution that offers scalability, efficiency, and performance. As demand grows for multicast and VPN, enterprises will require service providers to enable multicast across VPNs. Multicast for MPLS/VPN provides that solution.
MPLS Traffic Engineering Fast Reroute
The Fast Reroute (FRR) link protection feature of MPLS traffic engineering provides link protection to label-switched paths (LSPs). MPLS traffic engineering automatically establishes and maintains LSPs across the backbone using Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP). Paths for LSPs are calculated at the headend, based on the LSP resource requirements and available network resources such as bandwidth. Under failure conditions, the headend determines a new route for the LSP. This provides for the optimal use of resources. However, due to messaging delays, recovery at the headend is not as quick as recovery at the point of failure.
FRR link protection enables the router to reroute traffic around a failed link without involving the headend in the rerouting decision. This provides quicker recovery time and prevents any further packet loss caused by the failed link. The headend of the tunnel is also notified of the link failure through the IGP or RSVP; the headend then attempts to establish a new LSP that bypasses the failure. For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
Note Local reroute prevents any further packet loss caused by a failed link, and gives the headend of the tunnel time to re-establish the tunnel along a new, optimal route.
The Fast Reroute link protection feature works only on:
•Packet over SONET (POS) links (SDH in the European standard)
•Links that use MPLS global label allocation (GLA)
DiffServe Aware Traffic Engineering for MPLS
The DiffServer Aware Traffic Engineering feature extends DiffServe quality of service (QoS) over an MPLS backbone that uses traffic engineering. Bandwidth pools assigned to tunnel interfaces ensure that critical data is associated with a tunnel that has enough bandwidth to transport data over the MPLS network. For information about this feature, see the following URL:
eiBGP Multipath Load Sharing
This section describes the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Multipath Load Sharing for external BGP (eBGP) and internal BGP (iBGP) in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) feature. This feature allows you to configure multihomed autonomous systems and provider edge (PE) routers to:
•Distribute traffic across eBGP and iBGP paths in BGP networks
•Import eBGP and iBGP paths from multihomed and stub networks
BGP installs up to the maximum number of paths allowed (configured by the maximum-paths command). BGP uses the best path algorithm to select one multipath as the best path, insert the best path into the routing information base (RIB), and advertise the best path to BGP peers. Other multipaths may be inserted into the RIB, but only one path will be selected as the best path.
The multipaths are used by Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) to perform load balancing on a per-packet or per-source or destination pair basis. The eiBGP Multipath Load Sharing feature performs unequal cost load balancing by default by selecting BGP paths that do not have an equal cost of the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). To enable this feature, configure the router with MPLS VPNs that contain VPN routing and forwarding instances (VRFs) that import both eBGP and iBGP paths. The number of multipaths can be configured separately for each VRF.
Note This feature operates within the configuration parameters of the existing outbound routing policy.
For more information about this feature, see the following URL:
Route Reflector Limitation—With multiple iBGP paths installed in a routing table, a route reflector will advertise only one of the paths (one next hop). If a router is behind a route reflector, all routers that are connected to multihomed sites will not be advertised unless separate VRFs with different RDs are configured for each VRF.
Memory Consumption Restriction—Each IP routing table entry for a BGP prefix that has multiple iBGP paths uses additional memory. We recommend not using this feature on a router with a low amount of available memory and especially when the router is carrying a full Internet routing table.
Link Fragmentation and Interleaving
Interactive traffic (Telnet, voice on IP, and the like) is susceptible to increased latency and jitter when the network processes large packets, (LAN-to-LAN FTP transfers traversing a WAN link, for example), especially as they are queued on slower links.
The Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) feature reduces delay and jitter on slower-speed links by breaking up large datagrams and interleaving low-delay traffic packets (such as voice) with the smaller packets resulting from the fragmented datagram. LFI was designed especially for lower-speed links where serialization delay is significant.
The Cisco 10000 series ESR implementation of LFI provides the following benefits:
•Supports the following encapsulation protocols:
–Frame Relay (FRF.12) end-to-end
–Multilink PPP (MLPPP)
•Supports LFI on up to 1000 ESR interfaces.
•Prioritized traffic is always sent intact, while all other traffic is subject to fragmentation.
•During packet reassembly, the ESR detects and discards any packets that are missing fragments.
Cisco 10000 Series ESR LFI Limitations and Restrictions
The following limitations and restrictions apply to the Cisco 10000 series ESR implementation of LFI:
•Multilink LFI is restricted to 1-link bundles only.
•Multilink PPP must be enabled on an interface that has interleaving turned on.
•To enable LFI on an MLPPP interface, use the ppp multilink interleave command.
•Multilink PPP over ATM (MLPoATM) is not supported.
•The show frame-relay fragment command does not support the following statistics:
fragments received (in_frag)
fragments dropped (drop_frag)
fragments transmitted (out_frag)
•The show frame-relay fragment interface command does not support the following statistics:
in fragmented pkts
in fragmented bytes
in dropped reassembling packets
in timeouts
out interleaved packets
out fragmented pkts
out fragmented bytes
out dropped fragmenting pkts
Cisco 10000 Series ESR LFI Implementation Notes
The following sections provide information about the LFI implementation on the Cisco 10000 series ESR:
•Configuring LFI on a Frame Relay Interface—Method 1
•Configuring LFI on a Frame Relay Interface—Method 2
•Configuring LFI on a Multilink PPP Interface
MLPPP LFI Packet Counts
On an MLPPP interface that has LFI enabled, each packet fragment is counted as a separate packet in the interface's input and output statistics. For example, if a single packet is fragmented into three packets, the the show interface stats command and the show interfaces commands show a count of 3 for Packets In and Packets Out, rather than a count of 1.
Configuring LFI on a Frame Relay Interface—Method 1
One way to configure LFI on a Frame Relay data-link connection identifier (DLCI) is to:
•Use the command frame-relay interface-queue fair to enable Frame Relay weighted fair queuing on the physical interface.
•Create a Frame Relay map-class that defines the traffic to prioritize for interleaving. You can also include the following command to define a priority queue for an RTP packet flow:
frame-relay ip rtp priority start_port_number port_range [max_bandwidth]
•Set the LFI fragmentation size (in bytes) by including the following command in the map-class. Specify a fragmentation size of at least 128 bytes, which is the minimum size supported by the ESR.
frame-relay fragment fragment_size
•Attach the map-class to the DLCI.
•Use the Frame Relay QoS CLI to configure user-defined queues on the DLCI.
The following is a sample configuration showing this method of configuring LFI. (In this example, fragment size is 384 bytes and the bandwidth for the priority queue is 307 kbps.)interface Serial5/0/0.1/1:0encapsulation frame-relayframe-relay class PQ_FR_CLASS_0frame-relay interface-dlci 17frame-relay interface-queue fairmap-class frame-relay PQ_FR_CLASS_0frame-relay fragment 384frame-relay ip rtp priority 16384 10 307
Configuring LFI on a Frame Relay Interface—Method 2
You can also use a nested policy and access lists to configure LFI on a Frame Relay DLCI as follows:
•Use the priority command to create a priority queue and use a policy map to associate a class of traffic with the priority queue.policy-map qos_pq_cbwfq_0class acl_101priority percent 10
•Create a nested policy and include it in the Frame Relay map class.
•Use the following command to set the fragmentation size (in bytes). Specify a fragmentation size of at least 128 bytes, which is the minimum fragmentation size supported by the ESR.
frame-relay fragment fragment_size
The following is a sample configuration showing this method of configuring LFI. (In the example, fragmentation size is 768 bytes and bandwidth for the priority queue is 10 percent of the link bandwidth.)interface Serial5/0/0.1/1/1/1:0ip address 10.1.1.102 255.255.255.0no ip directed-broadcastencapsulation frame-relayframe-relay class PQ_FR_CLASS_0frame-relay interface-dlci 17access-list 101 permit udp any eq 16384 any eq 16384access-list 102 permit udp any eq 3000 any eq 3000class-map match-all acl_101match access-group 101class-map match-all acl_102match access-group 102policy-map qos_pq_cbwfq_0class acl_101priority percent 10class acl_102bandwidth percent 30policy-map outer_policyclass class-defaultshape 768service-policy qos_pq_cbwfq_0map-class frame-relay PQ_FR_CLASS_0service-policy output outer_policyframe-relay fragment 768
Configuring LFI on a Multilink PPP Interface
To configure LFI on an MLPPP interface, do the following:
•Use the following commands to configure multilink operation on the interface:
Command Purpose
ppp multilink
Enables multilink operation on the interface.
ppp multilink fragmentation
Enables multilink fragmentation on the interface.
ppp multilink fragment-delay milliseconds
(Optional) Specifies the maximum delay (in milliseconds) for fragmentation (for example, you can specify that voice traffic has a maximum fragmentation delay of 20 milliseconds). MLP uses this value to choose a fragment size.
ppp multilink interleave
Enables real-time packet interleaving on the bundle.
•Identify the traffic to prioritize for interleaving.
•Use the priority command to create a priority queue and use a policy map to associate that class of traffic with the priority queue. The priority command gives priority to a class within the policy map.
•Attach the policy map to an interface to assign that traffic classification and action to the interface.
The following commands show an example of how to configure LFI on an MLPPP interface:class-map match-all VOIPmatch ip rtp 16384 16383class-map LESS_CRITICALmatch access-group 101policy-map VOIP_PRIclass VOIPpriority 50class LESS_CRITICALset ip precedence 5interface Multilink1ppp chap hostname multilink_name-1ppp multilinkppp multilink fragment-delay 8ppp multilink interleaveservice-policy output VOIP_PRImultilink-group 1interface Serial 2/1encapsulation pppppp multilinkmultilink-group 1
Note The ip rtp priority command is not included as a policy action. Instead, the priority configuration defined on the interface determines which traffic is placed in the priority queue.
Single Rate 3-Color Marker for Traffic Policing
The single rate 3-Color Marker feature meters an IP packet stream and marks its packets different colors, based on the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and two associated burst sizes: Committed Burst Size (CBS) and Excess Burst Size (EBS). CIR is measured in bytes of IP packets per second (and it includes the IP header, but not link specific headers). CBS and EBS are measured in bytes.
Previously, the ESR supported a single rate, 2-color marker. The single rate, 3-color marker allows the ESR to classify packets that violate the EBS. This feature is useful, for example, for ingress policing of a service, where service eligibility is determined only by the burst's length, and not its peak rate.
The single rate 3-color marker uses the following colors to classify packets:
•Green (conforming)—Packet size is at most Bc or CBS and within the CIR allowance.
•Yellow (exceeding)—Packet size is greater than the CIR allowance but is at most Be or EBS bytes and within the available surplus.
•Red (violating)—Packet size is greater than both the CIR allowance and the available surplus. This is because either the packet's size exceeds Be or EBS or because a previous packet used some of the surplus and the traffic since then has not slowed sufficiently to acquire the surplus needed for the current packet.
The marker starts with a surplus equal to Be or EBS, and replenishes the surplus by the amount of unused CIR allowance until the surplus reaches Be or EBS.
Configuring the Single Rate Three-Color Marker Feature
To configure this feature, do the following:
•Use the police command to set the feature's mode and to assign values for the CIR, CBS, and EBS:Router(config-pmap-c)# police CIR CIR_bps burst-normal burst-max conform-action action exceed-action action violate-action action
For conform, exceed, and violate action, you can specify one of the following actions: transmit, set-dscp-transmit, set-prec-transmit, set-mpls-exp-transmit, or set-qos-transmit.
Using the Feature
The 3-color marker can be used to mark a packet stream in a service, where different, decreasing levels of assurances (either absolute or relative) are given to packets which are green, yellow, or red. For example, a service might:
•Discard or deny all red packets because they exceed both the committed and excess burst sizes.
•Forward green packets because they are guaranteed for delivery.
Cisco 10000 ESR MIB Enhancements
MIB capabilities on the Cisco 10000 series ESR have been enhanced as follows:
•The CISCO-ENTITY-EXT-MIB and CISCO-OAM-MIB were added.
•Support was verified for the following MIBs: ATM-MIB, CISCO-AAL5-MIB, CISCO-ATM-EXT-MIB, SONET-MIB, RFC1315-MIB, CISCO-FRAME-RELAY-MIB, and CISCO-RF-MIB.
•Support was added for MPLS-LSR-MIB mplsInSegmentOctets and mplsInSegmentOctets.
•The IF-MIB was enhanced to support MPLS.
•MIBs were enhanced to support the ESR high-availability feature.
For more information about the ESR MIB capabilities for this release, see the Cisco 10000 Series ESR Leased Line MIB Specifications Guide (version 3) at the following URL. (Table 3-1 in the "MIB Specifications" section of the guide lists the MIBs supported in this release.)
SNMP Trap Filtering
Use the SNMP trap filtering feature to filter linkdown traps so that SNMP only sends a linkdown trap if the main interface goes down. If a Cisco 10000 series ESR interfaces goes down, all of its subinterfaces go down, which results in numerous linkdown traps for each subinterface. This feature filters out those subinterface traps. This feature is turned off by default.
To enable the SNMP trap filtering feature, issue the following CLI command. Use the no form of the command to disable the feature.[no] snmp ifmib trap throttle
Limitations and Restrictions
PRE Network Management Ethernet Port
Ensure that the Fast Ethernet NME port on the PRE is configured for auto-negotiation mode, which is the system default. Duplex mode can cause problems, such as flapping. If the port is experiencing such problems and has been configured for duplex mode, use the no half-duplex or no full-duplex command to disable duplex mode.
Controlling the Rate of Logging Messages
It is important that you limit the rate that system messages are logged by the Cisco 10000 series ESR. This helps to avoid a situation in which the router becomes unstable and the CPU is overloaded. To control the output of messages from the system, use the logging rate-limit command.
We recommend that you configure the logging rate-limit command as follows:Router(config)# logging rate-limit console all 10 except critical
This rate-limits all messages to the console to 10 per second, except for messages with critical priority (level 3) or greater.
For more information on the logging rate-limit command, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Frame Relay
The following limitations apply to the Cisco 10000 series ESR implementation of Frame Relay:
•The ip rtp reserve command is not supported.
•Only one priority queue per VC is allowed.
Nested Policy Feature
The following limitations and restrictions apply to the Cisco 10000 series ESR nested policy feature:
•Nested policies support no more than two hierarchy levels.
•For additional restrictions and limitations on creating nested policies, refer to the "Configuring Nested Policies on the ESR" section of the Cisco document at the following location:
•The nested-policy shape rate is reserved for nested-policy traffic only. Excess bandwidth is not used for other traffic.
•DotP marking is not supported, nor is 802.1P (including matching and marking the 802.1P header).
Note The actual shape rate applied to nested-policy traffic might differ from that specified in the policy. For example, a specified shape rate of 10.5 Mbps might be mapped to 11 Mbps. Use the command show policy-map interface to determine the actual shape rate.
Testing Performance of High-Speed Interfaces
Cisco IOS software running on the Cisco 10000 series ESR has multiple queues for all classes of traffic over high-speed interfaces. The software selects a queue based on the source and destination address for the packet. This ensures that a traffic flow always uses the same queue and the packets are transmitted in proper order.
When the Cisco 10000 series ESR is installed in a real network, the high-speed interfaces work efficiently to spread traffic flow equally over the queues. However, using single traffic streams in a laboratory environment may result in less-than-expected performance.
Therefore, to ensure accurate test results, you should test the throughput of the gigabit Ethernet, POS, or ATM uplink with multiple source or destination addresses.
Tip To determine if traffic is being properly distributed, use the show hardware pxf cpu queue command.
Important Notes
Cisco Discovery Protocol
Unlike other Cisco routers, on the Cisco 10000 series ESR the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is disabled by default. You can enable CDP on an interface using the cdp enable command.
Frame Relay and PPP Sessions
You can run up to 4000 Frame Relay sessions or 4000 PPP sessions, and you can configure up to 800 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peers on the Cisco 10000 series ESR. The ESR also supports up to 512 Multilink Point-to-Point (MLP) protocol sessions and up to 1024 MLP bundles.
Performance Routing Engine 1 (PRE1) on the Cisco 10000 Series Edge Services Router
In order for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(22)S and later releases to run on the Cisco 10000 series edge services router, the Performance Routing Engine (PRE) installed in the chassis must be the PRE1 version (part number ESR-PRE1). You can verify which PRE is installed in the chassis by using the show version command.
Note The Cisco 10000 series ESR does not support mixing two different PRE revisions in the same chassis. Do not install a PRE and PRE1 in the same chassis.
VLAN Session Support
The Cisco 10000 series ESR provides session support for 4000 802.1Q VLANs.
Inserting a New Line Card
Unlike other Cisco routers, if you insert a new or different line card into a Cisco 10000 series ESR chassis slot that previously had a line card installed, the line card initially reports that it is administratively up.
RBE Subinterfaces
To ensure that the Performance Routing Engine (PRE) microcode has adequate IP address space, use IP addresses in a contiguous address space. Also, use the ip unnumbered command on the RBE subinterface.
Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(23)SX
Table 1 describes the open caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(23)SX.
Table 1 Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(23)SX
Caveat Description General CSCdz00466
SNMP returns incorrect values for the MIB objects atmTrafficDescrType and atmTrafficQoSClass for all types of PVCs.
Workaround: Use the command show atm pvc to determine the QoS class and use the class to determine the proper atmTrafficDescrType value.
After a stateful switchover (SSO) in a redundant PRE system, the MIB objects ifLastChange (IF-MIB) and atmVclLastChange (ATM-MIB) might not match sysUpTime.0 (MIB-2), but they should. This problem can occur:
•After a second switchover
•When the standby PRE is reset, followed by a switchover
•When the standby PRE is inserted in the chassis later, after the primary PRE
Workaround: None.
The Parallel eXpress Forwarder (PXF) diversion statistics do not clear when you issue the microcode reload all command, although they should.
Workaround: Reload the Cisco IOS software.
The MIB object ifOperStatus incorrectly shows T1 layers on channelized OC-12 and channelized STM line cards as Up when all other layers are Down.
Workaround: Check the status of the lower layers. When ifOperStatus is Down, the T1 layer should also be Down. Or use the show controller {t3 | sonet } command to see the operational status of lower layers.
After you issue the commands shutdown and no shutdown on a channelized OC-12 line card, the show controller t3 command incorrectly displays the T3 controller as Down. The controller is really Up.
Workaround: Issue the shutdown command, wait several seconds, and then issue the no shutdown command on the SONET interface. Doing so sets the T3 interface to Up in the show controller t3 command.
A traceback occurred during SSO testing of PPP.
Workaround: None.
A routing policy does not count packets of 65 bytes or larger. The packets are transported, but not counted.
Workaround: None.
A traceback occurred during testing of IP multicast.
Workaround: None.
While using the 3-color policer to police 1000 VLANs, a traceback message appeared.
Workaround: None.
The 4-port channelized OC-3 line card experiences low through put and packet loss when configured with 252 SONET interfaces (VT E1 unframed).
Workaround: None.
On a channelized 4-port STM-1 line card with 756 interfaces, each at 512 Kbps with SDH framing and AU-4-TUG-3 controllers, the line protocol failed to initialize for several interfaces.
Workaround: None.
A PXF failure can occur when a fast reroute (FRR) is performed after a primary link fails. This problem was observed when the ESR was configured as an MPLS traffic engineering (TE) tunnel head and fast reroute (FRR) break point, and the primary link had 500 tunnels.
Workaround: None.
SNMP and MIBs ( see also General) CSCdy01660
After 24 hours, information for all but the most recent interval is deleted from the sonetVTIntervalTable and sonetFarEndVTIntervalTable (SONET-MIB). Intervals are started again at 1, which means the tables contain intervals 1 and 95 (the most recent interval). If you attempt to perform a MIB walk, a loop occurs.
Workaround: Use the show vt controller tabular command to view interval data.
The SONET-MIB does not update the intervals in the sonetVTIntervalTable or sonetVTFarEndIntervalTable for channelized STM and channelized OC-12 AU-3 TU controllers.
Workaround: None.
Stateful Switchover CSCdy66774
After a stateful switchover (SSO), the first packet sent through UDP is lost.
Workaround: Issue the following CLI command to configure the ESR to check before sending the first IP packet to make sure that an ARP entry exists for the destination (which must be connected through a fast Ethernet interface). In the command, A.B.C.D is the destination IP address and H.H.H is the 48-bit hardware address.conf tarp A.B.C.D H.H.H
After a stateful switchover, an ESR with redundant PRE-1 cards and channelized OC-12 or channelized STM line cards can experience a traceback and %CEF fibidb error message.
Workaround: None.
Multicast for MPLS/VPN CSCdz32805
Under rare circumstances, an ESR configured for multicast VPN does not form a data multicast distributed tunnel (MDT) consistently.
Workaround: None.
eiBGP Multipath Load Sharing CSCdy88837
If eiBGP multipath is configured in an MPLS network and one of the links is configured as eBGP, traffic may not be distributed through all links. This problem occurs when MAX Paths EIBGP is enabled under the address family. In this case, the IP BGP table displays multiple routes to a destination network (eBGP and iBGP paths), but the IP Route VPN table only shows iBGP paths.
Workaround: Disable eiBGP and use the weight command to forward traffic through eBGP or iBGP paths.
When the ESR is configured as a provider edge (PE) router with 100 VPNs, the number of packets reported at an ingress port might not reflect the actual number of packets forwarded by the ESR. This problem occurs on gigabit Ethernet (gigE) line cards when a gigE port is configured as a subinterface on a VLAN and traffic is sent to each VLAN ID from another router.
Workaround: None.
Traffic might not be load balanced through iBGP paths when MPLS eiBGP or iBGP max-paths is configured. For example, two iBGP paths might exist to the next hop but the PXF only forwards traffic through one of them. This means one of the links is not being used.
Workaround: If traffic is being forwarded through the slower links, you can shut down the slower link to allow the faster link to forward traffic.
Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI ) CSCdy75500
The show frame-relay fragment command truncates the Frame Relay interface name for Channelized 4-port STM-1 line cards.
Workaround: None.
When class-based weighted fair queuing (CBWFQ) is used with LFI enabled and multiple queues are configured for a link, packets are dropped from underloaded queues rather than overloaded (congested) queues. This problem occurs when traffic with different packet sizes is sent to different queues, which causes fragmentation on some queues but not others.
Workaround: Be sure to use a priority queue when you enable LFI.
When LFI is enabled on an MLP bundle running over a T1 channel, the output shape rate is less than 90% of the configured shape rate.
Workaround: None.
When the priority queue (PQ) is underloaded and fragmentation queues (FQs) are overloaded, the PQ's Max latency and Avg latency are higher than they should be, especially on low-speed links.
Workaround: None.
The show interface command input and output byte counts are wrong for MLP interfaces with LFI enabled. In addition, the output packet and byte counters do not always clear after a clear counters command is issued, but they should.
Workaround: None.
When LFI is enabled, the show frame pvc command sometimes shows invalid counts for input and output packets and bytes.
Workaround: None.
One of 1000 MLPPP LFI-enabled interfaces failed to become active after the commands shutdown and no shutdown were issued.
Workaround: None.
The show frame-relay fragment command "out-frag" count does not increment, but it should. In addition, when the interface keyword is included in the command, the "out fragmented" counts do not increment as they should.
Workaround: None.
Channelized T3 (CT3) line cards lock up when 1000 Frame Relay or MLP interfaces (each with a 512 Kbps channel) are configured over two CT3 line cards. This problem occurs when each interface has LFI enabled and fragment size set to 512 bytes, and queues are assigned the following link bandwidth: priority queue = 10%, fragmentation queue = 30%, default queue = 60%. In this case, the interfaces on one of the CT3 line cards lock up when the default queue reaches almost 50% of the link bandwidth.
Workaround: Do not use the configuration above.

HOUSTON - Houston police are looking for the man responsible for attacking and robbing three women in the same southwest Houston neighborhood in just four days.
A woman was most recently attacked Monday night. It happened outside the Ashford Court Apartments at Ashford Point and Overture just before 11 p.m.
The woman said she got out of her car and was walking to her apartment when a man jumped from around the corner and tried to take her purse. When the woman fought back and held on, the man punched her in the face and ran.
The second attack, also last Thursday, occurred at the Vanderbilt Court Apartments located down the street. In all three incidents, a man has approached from the darkness and either pushed or punched the women before taking their belongings.
Authorities said he's gotten away with a cell phone and two purses. The three attacks have people now taking extra precautions.
"It makes me just, in the mornings, want to watch her to go to her car," said apartment resident Mike Dillon, referring to his wife. "Make sure she gets in it safe to make sure nobody gets her."
Police said they believe the two attacks and robberies last week were committed by the same man. They haven't said the one from Monday is connected, but the actions and description of the suspect is very similar.
Residents said they want the suspect caught fast.
"He's a piece of crap and he needs to go to jail for what he's doing," said Brenda Dillon. "He'll get what's coming to him sooner or later."

This is in the UK media today, an awareness campaign by Pancreatic Cancer Action to highlight the poor survival rates from the disease. To say that it has got people talking would be an understatement to say the least.

Olivia Wilde Models Spring's Sexiest Trends
Most likely to: Stick with the bare necessities
This spring, a new trend will do away with the idea that nude has to remind us of old, tangled, egg-living pantyhose. Cool nude-color pieces were all over the runways, but picking the right tone and style can be as important as hitting the right note—beware of the uptight beige. I love Lea, whose bravado and talent have made her the breakout star of Glee and whose own personal style is less buttoned-up than that of her alter ego, Rachel. Lea kills it here in her DVF tankdress and DKNY oversize blazer. My favorite touch? An unexpected pairing with nude Louboutin patent pumps.
Most likely to: Mix it all up
Ignore what your mother told you all these years: There are no colors that don't go together and no patterns that can't be mixed—and spring is the time to follow this modern-fashion mantra. Dianna, whose character, Quinn, went from Mean Girl to Fun Girl in half a season, is the obvious choice for a bold makeover. After all, when you play the pregnant ex-cheerleader, you never get to wear much more than a uniform—that, and a padded pillow.

How the south was won
Published: January 18 2013 - 3:00AMJamie Foxx is proud Django Unchained doesn't mince words, writes Jenny Cooney Carrillo.
Jamie Foxx had no reservations about starring in Quentin Tarantino's Golden Globe-winning western, Django Unchained, despite the controversy he knew would follow.
''I loved it right away when I heard the story, but of course any time you deal with slavery and being a black man [today], especially when we have an African-American president, you're supposed to knee-jerk,'' Foxx says. ''The script is controversial - you wouldn't expect anything different from Quentin Tarantino - but also being from the south myself, I had a different interpretation.
''What I really appreciated was the love story in the film between Django and Broomhilda [played by Kerry Washington] because it was taboo for slaves to have feelings for each other back then, much less get married, and that element of the story was really interesting to me.''
Django Unchained is set in 1858 in the south and Django (Foxx) is a black slave rescued by German bounty hunter Dr King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), who needs his help to track a trio of brothers wanted dead or alive. Django successfully helps him and is set free, only to remain with Schultz as a bounty hunter until the time is right to find and rescue his wife, a slave called Broomhilda. The duo track her down to a plantation owned by Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) and hatch a dangerous plan.
''If you're not troubled by some of this material, then you're not human,'' the 45-year-old actor says bluntly, sitting in a New York hotel suite on a cold morning, dressed in a smart but casual cream button-up jacket over a brown shirt. ''When black people said to me, 'Oh man, I felt bad when I heard the word nigger,' I said, 'You're supposed to!' That's what we were all trying to do, to affect people in a way that shakes them up.''
Foxx acknowledges that researching the role was often painful. ''I had to read up more on slavery and there was a book called Without Sanctuary by a guy who documented lynchings throughout America,'' he says, softly. ''It's all these pages of black folk being hung and the stories behind it and I read those things and had that boiling inside of me when I was filming.''
Foxx grew up in Terrell, Texas, and was a class clown, a football quarterback and a gifted classical pianist. After accepting a music scholarship at a San Diego college, he left two years later to pursue a stand-up comedy career, and this led to his successful stint in the TV sketch show In Living Color. Dramatic roles followed in films including Any Given Sunday (1999), Ali (2001) and Collateral (2004), and he won an Oscar in 2005 for his role as Ray Charles in the biopic Ray.
The actor admits it was the genre, not just the subject matter, that excited him. ''You never get to see a black cowboy in a film and, being from Texas, I'd been pretending to be one since I was a kid, watching Bonanza and Hee Haw and twirling my little plastic guns any chance I got,'' Foxx says.
As well as producing an original Rick Ross song, 100 Black Coffins, for the soundtrack, Foxx found a job for his own horse in the film. ''When I met with Quentin he said, 'Hey man, I got to get you on a horse,' and luckily, I got a horse about six years ago, Cheetah, so I asked if I could try riding my own horse and see if he could learn the tricks,'' Foxx says, referring to Django's horse, Tony, being able to nod and trot backwards in a circle.
Next up for the star is the action film White House Down, in which he plays the US president. The irony is not lost on Foxx.
''I call it the evolution of freedom. It was fantastic to go from being called nigger to Mr President but it took a little getting used to,'' he says, smiling. ''Of course, the memory of Django will always be inside me, but it was also just a cool moment to look back at that and then say, 'Wow, now you're the president!'''
GENRE Drama.
BUZZ Despite controversy, its great reviews, award nods and big box-office takings in the US will attract an audience beyond Tarantino fans, who also won't be disappointed.
STARS Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson.
DIRECTOR Quentin Tarantino.
RELEASE Thursday.

I am querying my database with a unique product code. However I want the URL to dispaly the $linkname does anyone know how I do this please.
For example: /products/product/<?php echo $row['product_id']; ?>" >
Change to:
I have added a link name to database called $linkname. For example "large-red-widget". However my link is querying the database using a unique product ID but I want to display the $linkname within link.
What I dont understand is the relationship between the htaccess file and the way the link is displayed. How I do I display link with linkname but query the databsae using the product_id ?
This works...
/products/product/<?php echo $row['product_id']; ?>" >
RewriteRule ^products/product/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /products/product.php?product_id=$1
This doesn't...
RewriteRule ^products/product/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /products/product.php?linkname=$1
Firstly you'd have to change the code in product.php to query your db on the linkname column, rather than the product_id. You'd also need to change the code that generates your links, so that they include the name rather than the id, similar to this:
/products/product/<?php echo $row['linkname']; ?>
Are you using some kind of ecommerce software or anything like that?
No its a site a built myself using PHP.
The thing is I want to run the query using a unique code which I am currently doing. How do I query the database using one variable but display a different variable in the link.
This is a classic example of what I am trying to do.
But is it possible to do this without the product ID. So its just but still displays product "p230674902"
What table structure do you have? Is all the product info in one table, and then you have a second table that maps the linkname to the product_id?
No these two variables are in the same table.
So instead of the existing query, which must be something along these lines:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE product_id = $product_id
why can't you just do this?
SELECT * FROM products WHERE linkname = $linkname
Because the link name is not a unique identifier.
I thought I would need a unique identifier?
Right, yes you would.. sorry, I'd assumed that your link name was unique. In the case that it's not, what you have to do is include the product ID in the url, something like johnlewis.com/p230674902-john-lewis-lasko-chest-of-drawers-oak to use your example. I expect this brings you back to square one, but unfortunately if the link name is not unique then there is no way around it.
Your "link name" is commonly referred to as a slug. You need a unique identifier somewhere in your URL to retrieve the appropriate page. If you have redundant slugs, you will have to have a product ID or some other unique identifier in your URL.
123456 is the product ID in this case which would be used to query the table. The large-red-widget is a dummy slug in this case for the benefit of people or search engines reading the URL and is not used in the code. So you could do something like this:
Same dummy slug but different product ID.
Its very strange because when I try to run the query with the linkname and change the GET on the following page the following page does not display anything.
/products/product/<?php echo $row['linkname']; ?>
if (isset($_GET['linkname']))
$linkname = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['linkname']);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM productdbase WHERE linkname = '$linkname'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res); // no need to loop since you are retrieving only one row
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($res); // check to see if any results were found, just in case someone puts an ID in the url without clicking on your link
This looks good. How do I add the 'dummy slug' into the link whilst still querying the unique ID.
/products/<?php echo $row['product_id'] . '/' . $row['linkname']; ?>
Something like that. I didn't test. Also, do you have a bug in your if syntax from earlier where you forgot the brackets?
You also need to change your rewrite rule a little:
RewriteRule ^products/product/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/(.*)$ /products/product.php?product_id=$1
This should let you have URLs in the same format as in cheesedude's example.
I tried that but it failed. Should I have htaccess file like this and link as per below?
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^products/product/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/(.*)$ /products/product.php?product_id=$1
/products/product/<?php echo $row['product_id']; ?>/<?php echo $row['linkname']; ?>" >
I tried this but it doesn't display anything.
<?php echo $row['product_id'] . '/' . $row['linkname']; ?>
I think you might need to swap the order of those last two rules, and add a couple of flags like this:
RewriteRule ^products/product/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/(.*)$ /products/product.php?product_id=$1 [QSA, L]
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
but I'm not an expert in mod_rewrite rules, so you might want to run it past someone over in this forum:http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?97-Server-Configuration-Apache-amp-URL-Rewriting
Ive tried Googling "slugs" and "pretty urls" but nothing is coming up.
Is there a best basic guide on how to use slugs in pretty urls?
Try calling var_dump($row) to check if you're actually getting a record back from the DB.
I tried that and it does echo. I can echo it into the link and treat it as a normal variable.
Im stuck on using it as a slug within the link.

The London location opened in 2008, which makes its appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 inconsistent with the canonical timeline, as the novel is set in 1997 and 1998.[1] It is the largest Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in the world, and is located in the London Pavillion, at the intersection of Piccadilly Circus and Shaftesbury Avenue.[1] In the Deathly Hallows novel, Hermione Granger Apparates herself, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley to Tottenham Court Road after fleeing the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour, but in Part 1, this was changed to Shaftesbury Avenue.

Woman busted at border with 92 pounds of cheese
Published 11:35 pm, Saturday, October 13, 2012
LAREDO, Texas (AP) — Usually when U.S. customs inspectors discover large loads hidden in vehicles at the Mexican border, it's cocaine or methamphetamine. This time it was more than 92 pounds of cheese, and not the heroin-based kind.
U.S. customs officials have fined a Laredo woman $464 for failing to declare 92.7 pounds of white Mexican cheese she had hidden under the seats of her minivan when returning from Mexico.
Customs and Border Protection officials say the 29-year-old woman's illicit load of dairy was discovered when customs officers referred her for a secondary inspection at the Gateway to the Americas Bridge on Saturday. The cheese was destroyed.
News Channel
Cheese for personal use, generally less than 10 pounds, can be imported without declaration, but there's a commercial entry process for larger quantities.
