Yes, it was and I could not be more delighted that it was. It sure looked on the mark in the first half though didn't it? ...
Smothered Chicken!
Seriously, just let him throw.
See this isn't 100% true though either, Luck dove forward on the 3rd down play and the TD run against GB. Now under those circumstances we probably would all do the same, but I'm just saying it could happen. RGIII yesterday though proabbly should have just gone out of bounds.
Obviously no matter how big you are, the more hits you take, the more likely you are to have nagging injuries (see Rothlisberger, Ben) but I'd think that a few extra pounds of muscle should help some.
Honestly, both rookie QB's are taking a bit of a pounding so far this season. But to be honest, with defenses keying on hitting the QB nowadays, the days of "keeping the QB clean" are over. Guys like Brady, Manning, and Rodgers took some vicious hits in the pocket yesterday. It's just something thats a part of the game now.
Is anyone in the media or NFL hierarchy questioning Luck's arm at this point? With 4 games worth of evidence you'd think if there were question marks it would be mentioned by commentators, competitors, etc....

Exactly, we are talking about the NFL, running or not running a QB can get hit and be out of the game at anytime, that hit Luck took yesterday would have probably take him out the game and maybe the whole week he was just lucky enough that he didn't get hurt.
I don't get the RG3 hate around here, some of you are proving what I've been saying forever that Irsay was smart enough to bring Luck here because Indiana is still not ready for a QB like RG3, I like both guys and I'm rooting for both of them and I don't see a reason for people not to do the same.
So there's quite a bit of "I told you so" when it continues to be proven that olblu is dead wrong and is shown to be an unrealistic troll that has no clue.
I think you guys are missing the point. ITs the type of hits a QB takes that matters and not all hits are the same.
Of course we know that but the NFL protects pocket passers much more than a QB who takes off and runs. RG3 got hurt because he was trying to do too much too early on in a game. This shows his inexperience and he got burned for it.
Contrast that to Andrew Luck and most of his runs were in the second half when he was trying to win the game. When Luck split the LB's for a first down he did so with correct angle that didn't put his head out there to get hurt. He got sandwiched but the LBS were on their heels and didn't have the ability to generate a significant impact.
The one unnecessary roughness hit was a hit to the arm then to the head. Maybe it shouldn't have been called but the impact was mostly to Lucks sternum.
The big difference is knowing when to run and when not to and RG3 is behind on the curve here. He even says he won't change his style and it appears that the Redskins don't plan to change it either which is the problem.
Adding weight won't protect your noodle see Aaron Rodgers in 2010 agaisnt the Lions. You simply have to slide more or throw the ball away.
Edit: Lucks run in the 4th.. He uses the Ref to gain the angle to split the defenders at the 1:36 mark.

Add to that Luck and RG3 were picks 1 and 2 in the same draft.
Add to that Ol Blu's constant cheerleading for RG3 vs Luck and you have Indy fans paying more attention to the Redskins than they normally would. I don't think it's to knock RG3 though and I don't think it's fair to say Indy isn't ready for a QB like RG3.

Smothered Chicken!
My take is he has enough are strength but his judgement on deep passes has to improve, specifically on how much air to put under the ball and how far he should throw it, it is all about timing, and it will improve as he builds relationships with the receivers. A prime example of this is the deep pass that he threw to Avery this week, in previous games he has under thrown him, this game he made a good adjustment, but should have put a little bit more air under the ball, since he didn't he barely over threw an out stretched Avery.
It will be so interesting seeing where he is by the end of the season.
Why so SERIOUS
Like I've been saying though, deep balls are a ****** indication of arm strength. Luck's arm is unbelievable in the spots where arm strength actually matters, on the run, against pressure, throwing out routes, he does all these brilliantly and with very little time to set his feet.
RGIII has a "bigger" arm, slightly (I've said this all along), but right now he does not have the in pocket moxy to back it up. RGIII may be faster, but right now he doesn't pick his spots the way Luck does. Games are not won in the first and second and third quarters, but with the way RGIII plays you would think they are. He may be a walking highlight reel, but unless RGIII changes the way he plays the game, he's going to be remembered more for his highlights than his wins. RGIII has grabbed all the headlines, but Luck has the better record and is making his team more competitive. ESPN was talking about how RGIII needs to learn how to win. Luck doesn't need to do that, he knows how. You just need to get some of the other youth on the Colts to make that transition and Sunday looked like a step in that direction.
RGIII and Luck will both be great QBs, much better than Cam Newton, but Sunday proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Luck is much further down that path.
With Lucks passing, he has also had trouble on out routes at times as far as arm strength is concerned, but he has gotten better at that as well. One of the things I notice is that when he sees a guy that is wide open, he tends less than enough velocity behind the ball, it is like he wants to make sure that he makes it an easy catch. This is good in some situations because it increases the likelihood that a player will catch the ball, but on the other hand, the player typically does not have as much time to run after the catch, especially with the speed of the defenses.
I also would not say that Griffin does not know how to win, he has seemed to fair pretty well in pressure, and has lost a lot of close games so far this year, but you also have to remember that his teams pass defense is 31st in the league in regards to yards, that is definitely a hindrance in close games.
In regards to his record vs Luck, he only has one more loss, but he has also played one more game, so I would not really read much into that. Also when he got hurt the score was 7-7 and he was putting together a drive in the redzone to give them the lead, who knows what happens in a close game if he is still in.
I also agree that both QB's will be very good, not giving both the great part yet, but I would not rule out Cam Newton, he is in critical period of his career right now, and will need to learn how to overcome his weaknesses and adversity to pull through and win games, still only his second year in the league.
Why so SERIOUS
I said this early RG3 has yet to win a game against a decent pass rush and pass defense. This to me isn't suprising at all because he is a rookie but we all need to see growth against teams that actually have a good defense. The same can be said of Luck but he did go against a Vikings team that is underrated IMO and of course the good thing is that RG3 will have to face that same team if he is healthy so atleast a comparable comparsion can be made here.
Luck has a better defense and RG3 has a top notch rushing attack. Both help to win games so IMO its kind of a wash.
Also to me football is a team sport, you win and lose as a team, it is true that some players contribute more than others, but everything in football is situational, we could have easily lost that game yesterday if our guys would not have stepped up, just like Redskins could have won games if certain plays went their way. Basically I am not considering anything a wash but all I will say is that both guys have talent and both need to develop in various areas.
Why so SERIOUS
Just last week, RGIII led his team down the field for a game winning drive.
I just don't see how people think there's a large difference in who's better--on either end. These guys are 4 and 5 games into their careers. RGIII has put up better numbers, but he also has a better team top to bottom. Luck has impressed in other ways, and has shown great poise and leadership in 4th quarters.
Both guys are good and well on their way to being very good in this league, but I guess I just don't see a gap in talent, ability to win, etc between the two players.
Let me argue the point then.
The Colts defense is better since they have faced better opponents and have given up less points per game than the Redskins. I especially think this is true since the Colts are -4 on the turn over differential and the Redskins are +7. Thats normally not a good indicator of how a defense is performing but despite that fact the Colts have allowed less points.
Do they still suck at stopping the run? Sure but they are a 100 yards better per game at stopping the pass when compared to the Redskins which is what makes them better overall IMO.
In any case I think Luck is performing at a higher more mature level than RG3 and this can be seen in third down conversions. Luck is tied at 10th with 42% and RG3 is last in the NFL 32nd at 23%. THey both have seen over 60 3rd downs and that too big of a differential to ignore IMO. Maybe Garcon being hurt is a reason but that shouldn't put someone dead last in the NFL.
IF anything RG3 should have a better conversion rate since his running game should give him less 3rd and longs which are typically harder to convert.
So what do we have with RG3 and Luck? Well I would argue despite olblu's post is that we have exactly what we thought we had in both of them. One being a more mature player and the other being a more dynamic athlete who still has a lot to learn.
FWIW I think Luck needs to learn alot but I think he has proven that he understands the game much better than RG3 at this point.

He said INDIANA isn't ready for a QB like RGIII. Perhaps he meant the fact that Indiana is more of a traditionalist state--especially in sports.
For example, most Pacer fans have been clamoring for a "true PG" for years now when a "true PG" hardly even exists within the game anymore.
The same could be said for football. We've seen Peyton Manning--the ULTIMATE "traditional QB" do his thing for years. If you polled most posters within PD, or most fans in the state, most individuals would clamor for a more traditional QB like Andrew Luck, as opposed to a running QB like Griffin.
I don't think Vnzla was too far from the truth, but to insinuate that he tried to make this into a completely different issue is not only wrong but brings to question why one would even assume that's what he meant. (especially because he didn't even use the term that you quoted)
Just my two cents....
Both QB's have led game winning drives in the 4th QTR. Both guys have taken hellacious hits. (though it was AWESOME for Luck to get up and wink at Jerry after he got DRILLED--and bailed out by a lucky unnecessary roughness penalty) and both guys have impressed.
I don't want my critical eye to be taken wrongly. I think Luck is VERY good. If i had to choose between the two, I'd choose Luck just because of his moxy and maturity. (he is the ANTI Diva) I just don't think it's as clear cut that Luck is the best and RGIII is just an athlete.
I misquoted but who cares. Is Indiana not a group of people. Are you insinuating the corn is unprepared? Wtf

A's trade Wells to White Sox for cash considerations
OAKLAND -- The A's traded outfielder Casper Wells to the White Sox on Monday evening in exchange for cash considerations.
It was just a week ago the A's gave away cash to the Blue Jays to acquire Wells, who was hitless in five at-bats with Oakland before he was designated for assignment -- for the third time by as many teams in a month -- on Sunday.
Wells was previously designated by the Mariners on the last day of Spring Training. He was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays on April 10 and never appeared in a game with them before again being designated five days later.
Oakland acquired his services for outfield depth while Yoenis Cespedes was stationed on the disabled list, but there was simply no room for him on the roster once Cespedes returned Sunday.

We would like some information about this lamp. It is about 5 ft. tall, made of metal. It has faces with horns above each foot of the lamp. There are decorative birds of metal all over the lamp, sort of attached to the lamp. The Monkey appears to be holding a basket on his head. There are swirls all over it too. There is so much detail to this lamp. I have never seen anything like it. We have been trying to get into the Antique Roadshow for help in finding information about where this lamp originates from. We have been unable to find any markings of manufacture on it at all. Would love some help.

Pool thief steals family's clothes: Centre had to lend swimmers clothes to get home after locker was broken into
4:00pm Saturday 8th March 2014

4:00pm Saturday 8th March 2014
By Paul Nizinskyj
A FAMILY had to borrow clothes to go home in after their possessions were stolen from a locker at a swimming pool.
A thief stole Dee Harrison's handbag and clothes, and those of husband, Nick, and children Josh, Billy and Gabriella, as they swam at Southend Leisure and Tennis Centre.
The locker door was one of at least two police say were forced open on the same day.
Mrs Harrison, 35, of Eastwoodbury Lane, Southend, said the centre had given her a staff tracksuit and supplied her children with T-shirts because they had no clothes to wear home.
She said: "We had everything in that locker – car keys, house keys, phones, cash and cards.
"Altogether there was about £1,500 of stuff. I even had a payslip from work in my bag.
"It's scary how much personal stuff you carry around with you."
After going to the centre's reception desk in his trunks to complain, Mr Harrison was driven home by an employee to collect spare keys after using a house key kept by a neighbour to get in.
Mrs Harrison said pool operation Legacy Leisure had a responsibility to review security at the centre, because she felt it had been too easy for thieves to help themselves to customers' property.
However, Legacy general manager David Taylor said: "We take security extremely seriously. We informed the police as soon as we became aware of the incident.
"We continue to work closely with them and we will be providing CCTV footage as part of the investigation.
"While the leisure centre is accessible to all members of the public, our team regularly checks the changing areas and we regard the recent theft as an isolated incident.
"However, we will now be stepping up staffing levels, particularly at busy periods, and would encourage customers to be vigilant at all times."

The Antique Lamp?Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
The Jones family of Ohio is entertaining their cousin Henry, who is visiting from Belgium.
After staying for several days, Henry is getting ready to leave, when he presents the Jones with a gift.
It is a lamp that Henry claims is a very valuable antique that has been in his family for 70 years. It has small Bohemian figures that dance around the base when the lamp is turned on. Henry plugs it in to show the family how it works.
After Henry leaves, the father looks at his family, and says, "While it may be a pretty lamp, and it was nice of Henry to give it to us, it is not a Belgian antique."
Why is the father so sure?
HintGo with the flow....current that is.
AnswerAn antique lamp from Belgium would not have a plug that would fit into a standard outlet in North America. The father noted that the plug was a sealed plug not a replacement one and therefore was the original installation.
He obviously bought it at a local store.

Personal Statement
In my teaching, I attempt to create collaborative learning communities where learners can act as critical thinkers, value their own voices, see themselves as knowledge creators, and engage in dialogues of difference. I encourage participants in the learning process to become aware of the origins of their world views in ways that empower them to consider their preferred assumptions within a framework of power, privilege and liberation.
Areas of Expertise
Marriage and Family Therapy and MFT education, Critical social theory in the practice of family therapy, Internationalizing family therapy, Certified Problem Gambling Counselor, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Current Research
Teresa's scholarship centers the integration of critical social theory in the practice of family therapy. She has written about race, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and national identity using critical race, neo-Marxist, feminist, queer and decolonizing frameworks. Much of her work focuses on international family therapy in our contemporary world where economic, political and social systems routinely contribute to increasing global inequity. As an educator and clinical supervisor, Teresa encourages recognizing and challenging power inequities that are foundational to mental health and relational problems.

From the Newsroom
Professors Marisol Garcia Westberg and Teresa McDowell have a new article titled "Peace on Earth, War at Home: The Role of Emotion Regulation in Social Justice Work" in the March 2015 issue of the Journal of Feminist Family Therapy (the article is co-authored by Iva Kosutic).
Counseling Psychology Professor Teresa McDowell has published two recent articles about working with ethnic minorities in family therapy in the spring issue of the Journal of Systemic Therapies.
Kids who want to do everything right can be paralyzed by the fear of doing something wrong. In a blog post on the Oregonian website about handling perfectionists, professor Teresa McDowell advises that it can be helpful for such kids to learn to fail on purpose.
Professor Teresa McDowell is a recipient of the Anslem Strauss Award, presented by the National Council on Family Relations.
In their recent paper, professor Teresa McDowell and student Kyle Zrenchik, M.A. '12, argue that family therapists should incorporate a critical outlook on social class into the therapeutic process.

Contractors have many unique bookkeeping needs, so we've designed this course from the ground up specifically for the construction industry.
In this six-week course, you'll learn how to use the Premier Contractor Edition of QuickBooks 2013 to run your business more efficiently. Lessons are clearly illustrated and include step-by-step instructions to give you hands-on practice with the features you're sure to use every day. You'll discover how to create custom, professional-looking contract estimates and perform time tracking, and you'll learn the different methods you can use to bill your clients, including how to use the QuickBooks progress invoicing and job-costing features.
You'll find out how to deal with tricky situations, like change orders and retainage requirements, and you'll learn how to properly set up accounts, items, customers, and jobs. All along the way, you'll discover how to avoid many of the big and often costly mistakes contractors commonly make with QuickBooks. Finally, you'll learn how specific transactions impact all your various accounts, and even gain some techniques to protect your business from fraud, prepare for tax time, and generate useful and dynamic reports.
A new session of each course opens each month, allowing you to enroll whenever your busy schedule permits!
How does it work? Once a session starts, two lessons will be released each week, for the six-week duration of your course. You will have access to all previously released lessons until the course ends.
Keep in mind that the interactive discussion area for each lesson automatically closes 2 weeks after each lesson is released, so you're encouraged to complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
The Final Exam will be released on the same day as the last lesson. Once the Final Exam has been released, you will have 2 weeks plus 10 days to complete the Final and finish any remaining lessons in your course. No further extensions can be provided beyond these 10 days.
Contracting businesses have many unique accounting and reporting needs. In this first lesson, you'll learn how to set and edit your general, accounting, tax, and time-tracking preferences to fit your particular company. We'll go on a brief tour of the QuickBooks 2013 Contractor Edition, and you'll learn how to create and manage company files and utilize the program's multiuser and mobility features.

While there seems to be a car show, picnic, or fundraiser in California's Central Valley almost every weekend, the Lowrider community in the area was left with a huge void after car show promoters stopped having major car shows at the Fresno Fairgrounds. With multiple area car clubs that have been around for over thirty years such as Estilo, New Style, and Carnales Unidos spawning title holders such as "Strictly Business" and "Punch 84," the local area was dying to have another major show. Luckily for the diehard Lowriders in the area, the Merced Custom Auto Show stepped up to fill that void. This show has attracted some heavy hitters from all over California, such as "Perfect Score," "Heavy Hitter," "Oldie 54," and "Trokita Loca." This year it attracted "Sinful Pleasure," "Cherry 64," and "Strictly Business," to name a few.
The show also has many attractions to provide a fun, family atmosphere which includes jump houses for the kids, live bands, a tug-of-war and more. Despite its varied atmosphere, the show remains dedicated to the cars and culture that make it great. Keep an eye out for the fifth annual show as it will be coming soon, and we hope to be out there once again providing coverage for our readers who are unable to personally attend.

General News of Wednesday, 21 November 2012
Source: XYZ
Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP), a pro-National Democratic Congress (NDC) group at a press conference in Accra on wednesday said failure of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer to include his Oxford University education in his Curriculum Vitae (CV) calls his integrity into question.
Convener of the group, Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, said it is clear by their information that Akufo-Addo enrolled into the Oxford University in London in the 1962/63 Academic Year but left the University under "unexplained circumstances".
Felix Kwakye-Ofosu told Abraham Asare on Radio XYZ's current affairs programme, What's New, that the flagbearer of the NPP owes Ghanaians an explanation as to why he left the university at the time and why he has not included it in his resume.
According to Mr. Kwakye-Ofosu, the group has received various affirmations from people close to the NPP flagbearer that he went to the Ivy League university and is hoping that he will reveal the reason why he has failed to make known the reason why he left the school.
The group says if Nana Addo wants to lead the nation, he owes it to Ghanaians to put out every vital information about his education.

For 10 years, Jahja Ling has been building the San Diego Symphony.
But he's not making any claims, not for what might happen in Carnegie Hall on Oct. 29 as the orchestra performs in the national spotlight for the first time, and not for what might happen in China, when the orchestra plays in Yantai, Shanghai and Beijing in early November.
"We should never call ourselves a world-class orchestra," Ling said. "It's not up us to proclaim that. Only other people will say what kind of orchestra we have.
"I'd only say: We've worked for 10 years, and this is the result. And we want to share with you this thing we nurtured, our community supported and everyone worked together to make something we are all proud of."
Ling has every reason to be proud, and not just of this orchestra.
He's the first and only conductor of Chinese descent to be music director of a major U.S. orchestra, which makes the trip to China that much more significant.
"I've conducted a lot in China," Ling said. "But now, to bring this orchestra, something I've been working on for 10 years, this is perfect."
Ling also takes pride in the fact that he lives what he believes. He has a deep faith, and several times a year he volunteers his time as music director for Stephen Tong Evangelistic Ministries International. Tong, whom Ling considers his "best friend," is often referred to as "the Billy Graham of Asia," and his rallies all over the world have reached an estimated 33 million people.
"These are the things that are important to me," Ling said. "To give my talent is a special privilege. I don't get paid to do these things (with Tong), but it gives me so much joy.
"And the same way in music. It's my profession and I get paid, but the most important thing is to give joy to people through the music."
Called to music
Although both of his parents were Chinese, Ling was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. He started studying piano at age 4 and is grateful to his parents for their encouragement. Especially in Indonesia, music was not considered an appropriate career for an only son.
"When I was young, if kids want to study music, you are a sissy," Ling said, "especially if you are a boy. It used to be you'd only play music if you were a girl.
"So when I was playing music, I'd sometimes get laughed at. But my mother and father, they never waver. They feel like because I have talent, they nurture me."
In Ling's view, God gave him the talent, so committing himself to developing his talent is also committing himself to God.
"We should have faith," Ling said. "In music, even though you might not be successful like if you are a businessman, or a doctor, or a lawyer, that's what you are given the talent for."
A year after Ling won the Jakarta Piano Competition at age 17, a Rockefeller Foundation scholarship allowed him to come to the U.S. (where he is now a citizen) and study piano at the Juilliard School.
He seriously pursued conducting as a graduate student at Yale, caught the attention of Leonard Bernstein and worked with Bernstein at Tanglewood and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. An assistant conductor position with the San Francisco Symphony followed, as did what has been the most influential musical relationship of his life: a 1988 appointment as resident conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, where he still guest-conducts annually.
He never conducted the Cleveland Orchestra in China, although he accompanied it on its tours there. He started traveling to China in 1995 and has frequently returned to train and conduct its fledgling orchestras.
"In '95, they didn't have anything," Ling said. "I try to lift them up. So every time I come back, they always show appreciation. 'Even though the economy was not good, you come and try to train us and share your tradition.' They remember."
Universal language
Before China's Cultural Revolution, classical music flourished in communist China, in part fueled by Russian musicians and Russian-trained musicians. But it was outlawed for a decade and its practitioners disgraced. Although the ban ended in the mid-'70s, it's taken a while for the music to recover.
"It's been very difficult for classical music in China," Ling said. "When you lose a generation, you don't have the training."
But with China's economy booming, so is classical music. The country doesn't yet have ensembles equal to those in the West, but it is rapidly building the infrastructure.
"They understand that music is something more than just entertainment; It's more like a universal language," said Ling. "It's something that connects people.
"Every city in China, every little city, is building a concert hall. It's amazing, because once they have money, the first thing is they build a concert hall."
Because of those halls — and because of the money — the top U.S. and European orchestras are routinely playing in China. But Ling sees San Diego's visit as not just another orchestra going to China.
"Getting recognition is not the most important thing," Ling said. "This is a friendship tour. We are hoping to build relations, like in Yantai, San Diego's sister city."
Ling, who is fluent in Mandarin, expects that he and some of the other Chinese musicians in the orchestra will have the opportunity to work with Chinese music students.
"Our (Chinese) musicians, they go there, they can talk to little kids, they can do something in their own language," Ling said. "We can be an inspiration."

High quality not only means an item of beauty, but also a fashion accessory that will last and keep it's beauty over time. The dyes used to color the fabrics and the leather are all eco-friendly, non toxic, long lasting dyes. The fabrics are woven using age old techniques undergoing quality checks at every stage of production. Our fashion accessory quality can only be achieved by making items in small quantities by Italian designers.
All of our fashion accessory pieces are made in small quantities so that we can keep the designs and colors fresh and up to date. Many items are made exclusively for us, you won't find them anywhere else. True Italian style, not mass produced.
Our silk is made along the shores of Lake Como, the European center for silk production dating back 4000 years. Our wool is woven in Biella, a mountain town that for centuries has been weaving the finest wool. Our leather goods are made in small workshops in central Italy, all handmade, one by one. We look for and print gorgeous fabrics and have craftsmen make bow ties, pocket squares and exclusive shawls from them. These are the things that define true Italian style.

Topic: Decision on Chemo? Is it worth it?
My 80 year-old mother was just diagnoised with CC at Johns Hopkins. I am the youngest of 8 children and working with my family to take care of her. We are weighing Chemo at this time -- is it worth it?
Surgery is not an option, her bilarubin (sp?) level was 14 and is now 12 after wall stents-- we just don't know what to expect. Any thoughts?

Realizing that singletons are not good for writing testable code I have done some reading and found out that a much better pattern is dependency injection. I've seen some code samples that looked logical but they didn't involve the case of a database object, which basically I need to have only one instance of in my whole application.
So far I have come to this conclusion if an object of class A is dependent on an object of class B:
The problem with that is that the factory is not a singleton so it creates a new instance of classes each time. So if B is our database class that A depends on, then the factory will create a new instance of the database object each time it is called - unless it uses a singleton.
Does that mean that DI and Factory cannot be used to solve the problem? From what I have read the proper use of DI prevents me from having to pass objects down all the layers in my application just because one method somewhere deep needs it - but I can't see how this can work for objects that really need to have only one instance like database connection. Am I doomed to passing Db around from one object to another multiple times or can I achieve it in an elegant way without using statics?
First, before we get into factories, the way it would work is that we would create one database object that would be shared by each instance of A.
$b = new B();
$a1 = new A($b);
$a2 = new A($b);
Now when we introduce a factory, we need to implement this idea of shared instances.
class BFactory
static protected $shared = array();
public function getB()
if (isset(self::$shared['b'])) {
return self::$shared['b'];
$b = new B();
self::$shared['b'] = $b;
return $b;
This still looks singleton-ish, and in a way it is. The important part is that the singleton/shared instance logic is no longer baked into the B class. B can be instantiated any number of times, and it's only our specific application that decides it wants just one instance.
That B can be instantiated any number of times may actually turn out to be important. For example, there are cases where an application's data might be spread across a couple databases. Our newly architected B and BFactory let's us accommodate that quite easily.
class BFactory
static protected $shared = array();
public function getDefaultB()
if (isset(self::$shared['default_b'])) {
return self::$shared['default_b'];
$b = new B('default connection info');
self::$shared['default_b'] = $b;
return $b;
public function getAnotherB()
if (isset(self::$shared['another_b'])) {
return self::$shared['another_b'];
$b = new B('other connection info');
self::$shared['another_b'] = $b;
return $b;
Jeff, thanks for explaining it so well, the code examples are very clear and help a lot. This idea of singleton-ish factory came to my mind but I wasn't sure this was the way to go. Yes, I already know the class itself shouldn't decide to be a singleton and when the responsibility for keeping one instance is moved to the factory it makes much more sense.
Lastly, I have two more questions about factories:
Does it matter whether factory is used statically or as instantiated object? I have come up across many examples of factories implemented with static methods. Because they are very simple constructs I don't think it matters much when used normally but avoiding static methods could potentially help with testing, am I right?
Is it better to have one central factory per application that serves all kinds of objects, or is it better to have a separate factory for each type of object?
Yup, I think you're right about that. In fact, in hindsight, I wish I hadn't used a static property in my BFactory code above. But I was copying other sample code, and it was too late to edit my post. :/
As your application grows bigger, I think it definitely becomes better to have one central factory per application. After all, separate factories would need to know about each other anyway. For example, an AFactory would need to know about BFactory. The idea of "one central factory that serves all kinds of objects" is actually called a dependency injection container, and it's become a staple among the newer and larger frameworks.
I wasn't actually asking about the static property but about calling the whole factory statically. So this:
$factory = new BFactory();
$b = $factory->getDefaultB();
$b = BFactory::getDefaultB();
Is one of the above preferred?
And why do you wish you hadn't used the static property? How else would you guarantee a single instance of B? Without a static property you would have to make sure you have a single instance of the factory being available in all scopes where you are calling it, which gets us to create one more layer in a form of a singleton to keep our factory instance the same everywhere - a bit superfluos, isn't it? Or is there another way?
Thanks, it makes sense!
BTW, I have found Pimple, a DI container for PHP 5.3. It looks simple and the use of closures seems quite clever, do you think it's a good one to use?
I lean toward the former, but I'm striving to find a specific, practical reason to justify that preference. Right now the best I have is a somewhat general rationale for avoiding static data, which is that our objects behave more predictably when they're all instance-based.
If a class is all instance-based, then when we create a new object, we know we're getting a clean slate, and any methods we call on that new object will behave in a predicable way. But if a class uses any static data, then even when we create a brand new object, it might still carry some state from other, past objects, and as a result, it might behave differently.
I wish I had avoided the static property for the reason above, but it's possible that avoiding static is only feasible when we're working with one central factory, rather than lots of separate factories. If it is feasible, then I suppose all the factories would have to be instantiated at the core/entry point/kernel of your application. Even if we switched to the "one central factory" approach, we would still need to create it at the core/entry point/kernel.
I do think that's a good one. I'm generally impressed with most everything that Fabien Potencier writes.
I don't know if I fully understood what you meant but I imagine that when we get rid of the static property then yes, the factory would need to be instantiated at the entry point. But what next? I'd have to use the same instance of the factory in every place, so how do I get to it from different scopes? This would need a singleton with a static property in it to get me this one instance of the factory everywhere. Isn't it then better to have the singleton-ish behaviour built into the factory itself and not have to use a separate singleton for the factory?
Thanks. I have also found Dice - TomB's DI container. I think I'll have a hard time deciding
You actually shouldn't need to get to it from different scopes. The factories (or your one central factory) should be handling all the creation and injection of dependencies. So if A depends on B, which depends on C, which depends on D, then the way it should play it is: the core of your application knows it needs A, so it asks the factory for it. The factory knows that A needs B, so the factory creates B. The factory knows that B needs C, so the factory creates C. And the factory knows that C needs D, so the factory creates D. Regardless of how deep this chain may go, none of the classes within that chain need to know about the factories. They just get their dependencies, with no knowledge about where those dependencies come from.
If it would help, instead of talking about A, B, C, and D, you could post some real class names you're working with and their real dependencies, and we can work with that.
If you have any specific questions about it, feel free to ask

Hello all,
Have you ever gone to a Pacers road game? :thepacers
If you've been to another team's arena, what was it like?
I'm talking about picking an away game and rooting for the Pacers in the other team's arena?
I've been to road games in Milwaukee & Chicago.
It's so cool to hear your cheers in the other guy's place.
This forum would be a good way of organizing a road trip!!

Skyway, between Pearson and Elliot roads, will soon be reduced to one lane in each direction with a continual center turn lane.
The council voted unanimously tonight to accept the plans for the Downtown Paradise Safety Project. The design will include synchronization of the Neal, Pearson and Elliot roads' signal lights, a five-foot buffer area between parallel parked cars and the street, and bulb-outs in the sidewalks at the designated crosswalks, in addition to reducing the number of lanes from four to two with a continuous center turn lane.
During the meeting the Town noted that the design has been vetted to the public at several council meetings, at various clubs' and organizations' meetings, through television, print and radio news coverage, and during a couple of residential and business informational meetings.
The project will be funded with an HSIP grant that the town was awarded in October 2012.
A total of 14 individuals addressed council on the matter tonight, ranging from local business owners to residents, an engineer from Chico State to a CalFire chief. Of the 14 individuals who addressed council, three individuals expressed that they were not in favor of the project and one individual expressed concerns but didn't say whether he was for or against the project.
Resident Jon Remalia addressed council stating that although he wouldn't say if he is for or against the project, he feels that the council should weigh the costs of undoing the lane reduction if the change isn't for the best.
CalFire Chief David Hawks addressed council saying that the department was in favor of the project. He noted that the lane reduction wouldn't inhibit evacuations out of town in case of an emergency because the road width would stay the same even though the lines are painted for one lane in each direction.
Councilwoman Jody Jones was asked from the other council members what her thoughts on the project were with her background in CalTrans. She stated that the project would be safer for pedestrians and motorists, and the California Department of Transportations released a book in November that supports the Downtown Paradise Safety Project's design.
Town Engineer Marc Mattox stated that the project is geared toward safety of motorists and pedestrians by slowing down traffic as well as reducing collision points for motorists.

Before it was a big league city, people were worried that Denver might be too snowy for Major League Baseball.
The Rockies this season have already had three games postponed due to snowy weather. They've played a split doubleheader where the game time temperature was 23 degrees—for the afternoon game! More than once already, the club has had their employees—including mascot Dinger!—out on the field for hours, trying to shovel all the snow away so that a game could be played without digging out any cross-country skies.
It's been exactly the kind of winter that Denver mayor Federico Pena was always afraid of.

The tater trots for April 24. Jordany Valdespin goes out in grand fashion.
I have to admit, it still feels a little strange every time I realize that the Astros are in the American League team now. I see them playing against the Mariners and I think to myself, "They're playing interleague again?" And then it hits me.
April 24, 2013 2:01 pm
The tater trots for April 23: the Upton brothers have a night, Chris Heisey keeps sprinting.
I'm really enjoying this new experiment by Major League Baseball to start the season in January and hope that nobody notices. I don't know if the Rockies' employees who have had to shuffle snow off the field twice in the last week are enjoying it as much, but it's still interesting in a performance art kind of way.

A new club has been set up at Glusburn Primary School where Double Knights take on Mighty Prawn and Master of Secrets battles against Sharp Knight.
Chess Mates is a new weekly chess club for key stage two children, run by parent volunteer Simon Goodison.
So far about ten children have signed up.
"They have created their own chess playing names, such as Double Knights and Mighty Prawn, and are looking for other schools to play against," said a school spokesman.
