Comments: These are TERRIBLE!i can't turn and when i skate on a smooth surface the wheels just slide.at least they are light.
From: Bob, Stalker
Comments: They are the most comfortable skates I've ever owned. I have tried CCM's, Bauer's, and Mission's. Nothing comes close to the fit that these skates offer. The pump helps huge with people who have smaller ankles and helps keep your foot stable while your skating. They have never given me blisters like every other skate has when I was breaking them in. I will not go back to any other brand.

Comments: I came off a 5 year hockey hiatus and decided to invest in a decent pair of skates for my comeback. I've worn Tours and Bauer Vapors in the past and have generally been happy, but found that the fit of the Reebok skate was a better for my hind foot shape (medium-wide). The forefoot is a little wider than other models which was great, but that is not to say I didn't need to stretch one of the boots for a perfect fit. As you'd expect with a higher end stiff boot, these boots need to be baked for a proper fitting to make the most of your investment. Having used a "full rocker" set up on my old skates it took some getting used to the 4 x 80mm wheel set up on these skates, but it seems that the design of the skate boot does accommodate this set up nicely and its fairly easy to get used to after a couple skates. Wheels are soft, especially if you're an average size adult, but they do hold up well on an indoor sport court surface. Lace lock is a great feature once you get used to it. Overall I think the combination of skate features and price are very fair, it would have been nice if the bearings were higher end and laces waxed for this price. Small details that you'd expect standard from a quality brand.

Comments: I've returned to hockey after a 8 year absence. Long ago I played with mission proto vsi which were the bomb back then. After purchasing these skates the first thing i noticed is that skate technology is miles ahead!. Although a 80mmx4 doesnt give you the best turning radius it takes very little to get used to it, the body instinctively compensates. The grip you get from those wheels is .. ok, Not the grippiest (if there is such a word) in the market, but i've never worried about wheels in a new skate, because thats the first thing that goes. What really makes this skates excel is the speed given by the contact surface of the wheels, (more contact surface = more push in the stride). Hats off to reebok people on that move. Changing the tri-di setup was a bold move. Success. Of course the little extras that come along are great like the lace lock or the vented toe cap. Just a great overall product. Reebok makes me glad to be back on skates. A must for everyone who left 8 years ago :P
From: Diego
Comments: The boot: These skates look great and they are super light compared to my old CCM Vector 08's. They were super comfortable when I put them on, but when I skated on them they hurt and still hurt to this day. I play two games a week and sometimes I practice during the week on my own and my skates still hurt my feet. I got massive blisters even after baking them. After one season of two games a week I finally stopped getting blisters from them. They still hurt my feet though and it is difficult to wear them for long periods of time. I am hoping the pain will eventually go away because the construction of these things is top notch. The frames: They are all 80's. I hate them. I am used to fast acceleration and quick turns on skates, but these things feel so heavy and clunky because of the size of the wheels. It's crazy because my CCM's are heavier, but they feel faster and lighter because they are the tri-wheel frames(72-76-76-80). If you are currently wearing a tri-wheel setup, I guarantee that you will hate the flat 80 wheel setup this skate comes with. The wheels: They grip really well but the wheels are literally melting away every game. All of the wheels seem to wear pretty evenly, but there are gouges out of the inside of the wheel and if you run your fingers over them you can feel new ridges formed from melting. I weigh 170lbs so I might be a little too heavy for the wheels, but I have never seen a wheel deteriorate like these ones have. When these wheels are done, which is probably within the next season, I will purchase some better wheels that can hold my weight. Oh and I only skate on indoor sport court surfaces.
From: Andrew, Redwood City, CA, USA
Comments: LOVE THEM!!! Fast, light, and comfortable!!!
Matt, Kapolei, HI USA
Comments: These skates are awesome! The four 80mm wheels give you maximum grip to the floor for speed, quick turns and stopping. I don't weigh much and stopping fast was always an issue for me till I got these skates, the grippy whew help a bunch too! Overall I can't see there being a better skate for the price. The pump is also great since I have smaller ankles you can count on the pump to keep your heel locked in place.

Analyzing the files I found that code, that need to be modified for this is located not in question editing class, but in moodleform class (repeat_elements).
Do you want me to override this function in question_edit_form or write new function there? Other parts of Moodle potentially can benefit from this too.
want you opinion on some aspects before I start working on actual patch:
1) I try to keep this task separated from another (htmleditors) as hard as I can, but actually had to believe that their user (but not necessary programmer - see $elementobjsafter in 2) interface must be united: a fieldset 'Editing options' with
- a) text field for number of choices/answers (calculated, match, missingtype,multichoice, numerical, shortanswer and, probably, truefalse)
- b) check box for using htmleditor on choices (multichoice and match)
- c) check box for using htmleditor on feedback to individual choices/answers (calculated, missingtype,multichoice, numerical, shortanswer and, probably, truefalse)
- d) check box for htmleditor on feedback to any correct/partial correct/incorrect answers (multichoice - probably such comments must also be added to match question type, because it support only general feedback right now)
- e) button for applying of changes in options above.
I think that one 'apply' button is better solution because it'll reduce the number of page reloads needed to customise the question editing page to you liking (and with htmleditors reload is slow). If formslib allows this, enter in a) field must probably activate 'apply' button for better usability.
Also, I think that new interface must be place before repeated elements, not after them as in 'Add xxx' button case.
2) To implement this subtask we need a replacement for repeat_elements function from formslib.php. I suggest following parameters (my changes to repeat_elements comments marked with !!)
- @param array $elementobjs Array of elements or groups of elements that are to be repeated
- @param integer $repeats no of times to repeat elements initially
- @param array $options Array of options to apply to elements. Array keys are element names.
- This is an array of arrays. The second sets of keys are the option types
- for the elements :
- 'default' - default value is value
- 'type' - PARAM_* constant is value
- 'helpbutton' - helpbutton params array is value
- 'disabledif' - last three moodleform::disabledIf()
- params are value as an array
- !!EDITED @param string $repeatname name for text element storing no of repeats
- !! ADDED @param string $repeatlabel label to field with number of repeated elements
- @param string $addfieldsname !!EDITED - name for button to apply options
- !! OBSOLETE - must be deleted @param int $addfieldsno how many fields to add at a time
- @param string $addstring !!EDITED user visible name of apply button, defaults 'Apply'
- @param boolean $addbuttoninside if true don't call closeHeaderBefore($addfieldsname). Default false.
- !! ADDED @param array $elementobjsafter - array of elements to insert after field with number of repeats (for
- !! ADDED @param array $optionsafter - options to elements in previous parameter
- @return int no of repeats of element in this page
the questions are:
a) should we allow the caller to insert elements before as well as after field with number of repeats? This will increase universality at the cost of some additional code.
b) the caller needs to supply a function to process options in $elementsafter on applying - should it be a member of the class with fixed name, or should the caller supply a name of the function as parameter?
c) repeat_elements is located in moodleform class, where should I place repeat_elements_ex - in moodleform or in question_edit_form?
d) to reduce the patch size I can edit repeat_elements instead of writing a new function (they'll have many common code) - but this will break interface of a basic system class. Thought scanning moodle code I found that this function used only in questions editing and in mod_form.php for quiz and choice modules, so it won't be too hard to me to upgrade them all if you want it.
3) There is a good deal of code duplication related to the repeated elements in questions. Should I refactor it to reduce the amount of duplicated code?
I would like to hear you opinion about this before writing a patch to avoid unnecessary rewriting.
I disagree I think we should aim for a minimal change to the repeat elements feature. I think we should change
[Add blanks for 3 more answers]
[Add] blanks for [3 v] more answers
That is, add is a button, and 3 is a drop-down menu of numbers, defaulting to whatever number was used before.
Or, perhaps if you think it would be better to use the number, rather than the increment, then do
Make space for [5 v] answers [Update]
In this second case, you could use get/set_user_preference to remember the user's preference for each form.
By the way, only 10 forms in Moodle use repeats, so I think we can get away with changing this.
I don't think we should combine the different settings. The right thing to do is to use user_preferences, so that people don't have to change these options very often.
I think that Tim's suggestion for how to change repeat_elements sounds good. Either option sounds good, although if you allow a user to reduce the number of blanks instead of just to be able to add blanks then you will need to make sure that data that is dropped from the form is also appropriately dealt with in the processing of data from existing forms after submission.
"The right thing to do is to use user_preferences, so that people don't have to change these options very often"
I agree with this as long as the user preferences are specific for the form.
I think that a drop-down menu is better from the view point that the values are already filtered however for flexibility and accessibility to diseabled persons an input text field is better.
I must apologize for a long comment - it probably looked worse than it is. The actual interface will be very slim and the patch too.
The actual changes proposed by me for repeat_elements is quite small:
a) replace button 'Add [3] choices' with text field 'Enter the number of choices [ 3 ]' and button 'Apply' (as in Tim suggestion). Drop-down menu is cool but it will limit the number of blanks.
b) place them before repeated elements (it has some sense to put "Add more blanks" button on the end of sequence - user will press it if he/she will run out of existing blanks; hovewer when user can see and correct the number of blanks it usually will be done before entering the actual values in blanks).
c) let caller of repeat_elements add some elements to this fieldset to use with 'Apply' button if he/she want it - it hurt nothing and help speed up question editing a lot, since it will save us one page reload - and page reload with 5-12 htmleditors (or more) is a big deal. Also I'm not fond of having several buttons for applying different options on editing one question.
I'm unsure about using user preferences as the using of htmleditors and required number of blanks may depend on the nature of questions, not just on preferences for this user, but this isn't a bug deal for me, so I can accept you suggestions.
As for the matter of reducing the number of filled blanks, I think the best solution will be to ask additional question (Are you sure you want to delete ...?), but I'm unsure if this possible with formslib. If impossible, probably better to keep filled blanks (and show user an error to clear them manually before reducing the number of blanks) than risk unwanted deletion of useful data.
Choice of number of blanks before the repeated element. Yes. That is good.
Using a dropdown does not stop people typing the number if they want. It does put a finite upper limit on, but it can be very large. For example 100. And then if the forum is currently showing more than, say, 50 repeats, extend the dropdown to show 200 choices.
With user preferences, I was thinking of a different preference for each type of form, so there is one setting for multiple choices, and a separate one for shortanswer. That is, make the name of the preference a combination of the forum name and the repeated item name.
I don't think people will need to change the HTML editor settings very often if we are using user preferences, which I why I think we should keep them speparate, for the reason of simplicity.
Actually, in Moodle 2.0, there is already a button next to each HTML editor to switch from the editor to plain textarea and back without a reload at all. So actually, that feature is not required in core in the long term.
So I suggest you do the repeat stuff as a patch for me to apply to core, and you do the other changes just as a local customisation for your site, which lets you do exactly what you want.
Hi, Tim!
"Using a dropdown does not stop people typing the number if they want. It does put a finite upper limit on, but it can be very large. " I'm unsure - as an experienced user i'm agree with you, after dealing with complaints of unexperienced users, that don't know that, I'm disagree. On the other hand, typical user usually don't enter text in the field where he/she already have seen a number. Probably I'm not quite understand, what wrong with text field with PARAM_INT to see you point there. Also, using text field will simplify the patch.
"With user preferences, I was thinking of a different preference for each type of form, so there is one setting for multiple choices, and a separate one for shortanswer. That is, make the name of the preference a combination of the forum name and the repeated item name. " - good idea.
" don't think people will need to change the HTML editor settings very often if we are using user preferences, which I why I think we should keep them speparate, for the reason of simplicity." Having two different fieldsets and 'Apply' button for different editing options isn't a simplicity for me, i'll rather have them in one group (or you mean simplicity for the programmer?). Anyway, see suggestions below on it.
"Actually, in Moodle 2.0, there is already a button next to each HTML editor to switch from the editor to plain textarea and back without a reload at all. So actually, that feature is not required in core in the long term. " Having such button is good, but using it on question editing page requires additional clarification. There are two issues caused by large number of HTMLEditors there:
a) slow page load
b) browser malfunction (when the number is great)
To work correctly with this we must address two issues:
I) defaul value for repeated elements must be textarea (not htmleditor), otherwise we get issue a) by default and if we get b), than we can't use htmleditors at all, even where we want them (for example on the question text)
II) there must be a way to control htmleditors in similar field in all repeats: having to press a button on each of 5-15 blanks isn't terribly usable (there is also an issue about what type wil have the added blanks). So now I think, that repeat_elements must create separate buttons to control all textarea/htmleditor option on each repeated field that allows it (this doesn't forbid individual switching, but mass switching is far more common). Also this can be saved in user preferences too.
So, I suggest the best solution is o have two patches to the repeat_elements function:
1) choice the number of blanks - targeted for both 1.9 and 2.0
2) buttons to handle using htmleditors on repeated elements at once - targeted for 2.0 only. Handling htmleditors for 1.9 should be done on local customisation basis.
I) In Moodle 2.0 we are using a completely different HTML editor (TinyMCE instead of HTML area). So hopefully your concerns do not arise.
II) Yes, we should do this, but just by linking the existing toggle buttons on the corresponding fields, not by introducing a new UI element.
Anyway, I think we are broadly in agreement, so you could just go ahead and make a patch. Then we can look at it for real and see how well it works. That will probably settle the argument.
This is a first, trial version of the patch to Moodle 1.9 to allow us dicuss things properly. It has several issues and intentional violations of Moodle rules:
1) language strings are hardcoded to reduce the number of patched files, i'll move them to language packs in final version
2) I would like to group controls (see commented code), but failed to find a way to create 'compare' rule for the elements in group
3) string with compare rule is commented: it's uncommenting causes fatal error in getValidationScript function - probably compare rule doesn't work well with hidden elements
4) should we now add an empty blanks when editing question? I leave this to be right now.
5) there is a problem with reducing number of blanks: user can unitentionally delete useful data. There are several approaches to this problem:
a) prohibit reducing number of blanks (the simplest way - implemented now)
b) show an error if user want to delete filled blanks, deleting them if he confirm deletion (this requires a good deal of programming and no small patch because repeat_elements must analyze an arbitrary elements array to find filled/unfilled blanks)
The patch also lacked using user preferences beacause i'm unsure - if number of blanks as a preference must be related to question type only, or to question category too (it's customary to have similar questions in one category, but one user can enter a totally different questions of one type depending of his needs).
In the actual code unfilled answers are filtered and not stored either in the validation process of the edit form or in the QTYPE save_options code so b) is not a real problem although this could be improved later...
Pierre, there is a big difference between actual code and b):
in actual code unfilled blanks is the problem of the caller, who knows specifically what he/she wants and what the structure of blanks is;
in b) this will be a problem of repeat_elements who must adapt to arbitrary blanks.
I did not understand that your code should adjust to a decrease of the number of repeated items.
Perhaps you should work with a less restrictive challenge i.e. the repeat element start with the initial repeat elements increment and if the user chage this to a lower value these initial elements be maintained and the new added elements follow the "decreased" increment value rule .
When the user come next to this questiontype, the "decreased" increment value will be the default.
Hi, Pierre
Now I compose my thoughts and found this:
a) there is no real point in decreasing the number of blanks on already loaded form - it costs a page reload and helps nothing except lessing work to get to the bottom of the page - rather minor problem - so there is safe to prohibit this
b) we must save the number of blanks as user's preferences - there will be a two preferences - global (from name plus repeated element name) and local (adding question category name)
c) on adding new question we use local user preference, than global if local absent, than default value for this questiontype
d) on editing question we add 1-3 empty blanks to the current question just in case user want to add a choice, old user preferences is ignored (but probably updated, at least local)
I'm agree that default value MUST be decreased if we use this scheme. The problem is how to tell user that decreased number will be saved:
1) if we use client side validation to not allow to decrease the number of blanks, than server script simply doesn't know about this, so it can't decrease number (and there is a bug in formslib probably related to 'compare' type rules)
2) if we compare the numbers on server, the user can't see error messages because they isn't displayed with noSubmitButton; also this requires page reloads - this can be saved by reporting errors even with noSubmitButton, if Jamie would be so kind to improve formslib or at least tell me, where to see and what to do to allow this.
"on adding new question we use local user preference, than global if local absent, than default value for this questiontype"
Is this allows for the fact that the local user preferences are specific to the question type that is edited ?
"The problem is how to tell user that decreased number will be saved"
we don`'t tell him, just add this info to the docs.
He will notice the next time.
Say default is 3 new answers, that the user push to 10 new answers (in multiple choice for example.
If he put 10 he will have 13 of them on this question the 23 if he continue.
On return the default will be 10.
If there is too many answers the validation process will eliminate all unfilled ones with the actual rules i.e. answer ans feedback == null and grade == 0 .
Yes, the preferences would be specific to the questiontype. They can be more specific based on the question category, but it's probably not worth the trouble, since getting category name in question editing form is somewhat tricky (actually number of choices/answers is more a matter of a question category than users preferences - imagine several staff memebers supporting a common set of categories with different pedagogical purposes for categories).
There is no need to inform user now - it's better to set preferences based on the number of really filled subquestions, not on the number that user types in the 'Number of blanks' field (or there would be no way to reduce it at all thanks to the way moodleforms working). This means that user preferences on the number of repeats must be handled outside repeat_elements function.
This is more mature version, tested of patch (forsmlib.php and match question files to test it) featuring several improvements and issues:
1) user preferences is working now. User can't reduce the number of blanks on the current page (see discussion above), but actual number of entered subquestions is saved as user preference to be used on the next new question of the same type; on editing existing questions we just add QUESTION_NUMANS_ADD (which probably need to be lowered to 1-2) blanks to the current number of subquestions.
2) we still need for
MDL-17111 to be fixed if we want to display error message to the user on the matter of decreasing number of blanks.
3) string still hardcoded - I'll move them after you approval of the patch
Tim, you wrote "Using a dropdown does not stop people typing the number if they want". I'm considering using drop down menu to avoid
MDL-17111, but system of typing a number in dropdown menu puzzles me: at least on widely used Internet Explorer it's very strange - you can't just type number (especially in two digits), you need to press a lot of buttons to get to twenty or more numbers.
Hi, Tim. The patch now requires you attention!
This update is final beta version of patch (use with patches to Match questiontype: edit_match_form.php.patch2 and questiontype.php.patch2 for testing - be careful, as it's breaks compatibility with other forms using repeat_elements). The patch features:
1) rough fix for
MDL-17111 that allows us to work without errors there
2) code cleanup in repeat_elements
Now I wait for Tim comments and approval (other comments are welcome as well). After you approval I'll move strings to language packs, edit out temporary comments about changes in interface of repeat_elements and create patches for all other question types using repeat_elements (other forms as well if necessary).
which means in 1.9

Hi Oleg,
Pressing the enter key can be similar to submitting the form.
Could you test on your actual version how pressing the enter key in the text element ( $mform->addElement('text',$repeatname,$repeatstring,array('size'=>3));
is interpreted?
Hi Pierre,
On my version pressing enter key in the 'number of blanks' field doesn't submit form, it act as if 'Apply' button is pressed (which is intended). I guess formslib take care of this somehow.
"as if 'Apply' button is pressed (which is intended)"
Does it generates new answers i.e. the same effect that using the $mform->addElement('submit',$addfieldsname,$addstring);
Well, I'm a sort of managed to check out a CVS code for Moodle 1.9 and managed to create a CVS patch for this. Since all patch is now in one file I moved strings to their appropriate place.
It would be good if the patch will get reviewing before I forget details about this all.
Nice work with the CVS patch. Makes it really easy for me to review. Thanks.
(For anyone wondering, numberofblanks.beta.patch (10 kb) is the latest patch).
Nice to see that it basically works. I like the outcome, but I don't like the way you have implemented it. It is not yet clean enough to go into core.
1. I don't think it is a good idea to set the user preference in questiontype.php based on the number of answers that were entered. For example, if you are creating a lot of matching questions with 5 or 6 pairs of answers, then you would like to set the number of blanks to 6 at the start of the editing session and have it stay like that. It would be annoying if it changed every time you created a question with 5 answers.
2. Similarly, I think there should be no mention of the user preference in edit_match_form. The form should just be responsible for determining how many blanks this question acutally uses - that is the code that was there before, which would be better re-written as
$repeatsatstart = max(QUESTION_NUMANS_START, $countsubquestions + QUESTION_NUMANS_ADD);
3. That is, I think the user_preferences stuff should be entirely contained in formslib. The calling code in the matching question type should not even know about it. That is, the specific form should pass in a parameter like $repeatsatstart, which is the minium number of blanks that the thing edited need. Then inside repeat_elements it should do $actualnumrepeats = max($repeatsatstart, $userpref);
4. I don't really like the way that your code adds a new section to the form. Some people won't like that. For example, look at the 'Overall feedback' section on the quiz settings form. I think that 'Provide space for XXX things' should be one very plain line of content, that can appear anywhere in the form.
5. repeat_elements now has a scary number of arguments. A function with 9 arguments should not be allowed. Can we do anything about that?
Hi, Tim. Glad to see you there!
1&2&3 First of all I'm not completely satisfacted by this solution myself, but was somewhat convinvced that there is no better way to handle this.
The core of the problem is deleting unused blanks. We can't allow user just decrease the number of blanks, as he/she can accidentally delete useful data. Right now repeat_elements just don't allow to do it.
"The form should just be responsible for determining how many blanks this question acutally uses - that is the code that was there before " - the problem is that code before determined the number of blanks only in validate and save_options functions, that is only when start editing and after submit button is pressed. When the user pressed 'Add 3 blanks' button the number of blanks wasn't handled by form - it was handled by repeat_element instead:
if (!empty($addfields))
(you can see it in patch, deleted). Form before calling repeat_elements use $this->question to determine the number of subquestions - and it isn't updated when user reloads form pressing 'Apply'.
"That is, the specific form should pass in a parameter like $repeatsatstart, which is the minium number of blanks that the thing edited need. Then inside repeat_elements it should do $actualnumrepeats = max($repeatsatstart, $userpref); " - not so easy, as the user can't decrease the number of blanks on the current form right now (because repeat_elements can't get the number of filled blanks from the caller on reloading page) - so with you solution he can't decrease the number of blanks for this questiontype at all once he raised it! That leads me to the conclusion, that userpref must be based on the number of actual filled blanks, so there will be some way to decrease the number of blanks.
I can thought of only one other way to implement it: the caller of repeat_elements must supply a function, which returns the index of last filled blank. As some forms use repeat_elements several times, we either must use a callback function, or pass some of the repeat_elements arguments to this function so it can determine, about what set of blanks we are asking (it probably must be a prefix, see 5 below).
Also, if I understand you code rightly, question editing form sometimes used without an actual editing question ($this->question->formoptions->repeatelements=false). Setting numofrepeats to max($repeatsatstart, $userpref) in that case will create strange results. The interface to ajust the number of blanks probably should be hidden in that case too. Can we really rely on assumption that blanks can be added in any case without harm to anything?
So, what you would like to see implemented there? Additional form function and user preferences in formslib or leave userprefs to the caller? Or can you see a better way to implement this?
"For example, if you are creating a lot of matching questions with 5 or 6 pairs of answers" - we can easily handle this by adding QUESTION_NUMANS_ADD to user preferences when creating new question. Fixed. I think that QUESTION_NUMANS_ADD should be lowered to 2 in it's new function.
4. I don't like it too, but somewhat short of options. To place text and button on one line we must create a group. The way PEAR handled compare rule is strange: you must supply an array of elements to it. Since adding group rule you must supply an element name as an index, you can't use compare rule in such way - array can't be an index. There are two other options:
a) validate it on server in repeat_elements (without rules at all) - this will costs additional page reloads; using rule would also be the only way to display an error message to describe what is happening, if Jamie would fix
MDL-17111 since definition function can't show any errors. However this would be only way with additional function.
b) use a dropdown - but at least on widely used Internet Explorer the way it hanldes trys to enter the number is quite strange. My opinion is that having to type much (or browse large dropdown) is worse than get one more line (on already big page, where no one will notice it).
I beg you to at least consider these backsides of grouping (additional page reloads and no error messages or inconviniences to get required number) before insisting of grouping. We can group without better options if we will use caller-supplied function to determine the number of blanks thought.
I can easily make an option to not use separate fieldset thought. Is one or two lines really matters? It is fieldsets that actually takes a lot of place (especially fieldsets for blanks). Pity we can't use some sort of horizontal line to separate blanks instead - this will realy makes a difference for question editing.
5. Actually yes. repeat_elements can recieve a prefix for additional elements names ($repeathiddenname, $repeatname, $groupname, $headername, $addfieldsname) instead of getting actual names.
So, I said my reasons. Whats now you decision on:
A) Should we use an additional function, supplied by form, to determine the number of filled blanks, or just leave preferences to the caller, or use some better way I just can't see?
B) How should we treat case with $this->question->formoptions->repeatelements=false? Elements to handle the number of blanks probably should be hidden at all in that case, and userprefs ignored as well. Probably there must be an option to do so in repeat_elements.
C) What is a lesser evil: page reloading (group with text field), inconvinience entering the number of blanks (group with dropdown) or placing 'Aplly' button on separate line? Should there be an option to not use separate fieldset for controls?
D) Should we pass a prefix instead of element's names? We can win 4 arguments (but 2 can be lost for new options mentioned above).
I'll make a new patch according to you decision.
This is the second beta version of patch. It's features:
1) handling user preferences by repeat_elements
2) allows user to reduce number of blanks (deleting only unused blanks)
3) the controls are grouped and the separate fieldset for them is the problem of the caller (if he want it)
4) we can hide controls at all if needed (also ignoring userprefs in the case)
5) the number of arguments is 7 now
6) questiontype.php can remain unchanged now
Known problems:
a) the code in the caller become bigger, but also less sparse
b) should we update userprefs on forms where the controls are hidden? Probably no.
c) somewhat hacked way to set up the number of blanks properly, but no other way seems to work and this is just how QuickForms are supposed to work
d) there is no way to display error to the user if he/she trying to delete used blanks - definition function can't shows errors in current formslib implementation (should we ask Jamie to do so?).
Tim, please review it and say if it's OK now.
"repeat_elements now has a scary number of arguments. A function with 9 arguments should not be allowed" - actually it had 8 arguments before reworking, 5 of them was required - not there are 7 arguments and only 4 is required.
As for placing controls in separate fieldset I think that overall strategy can be place them in fieldset if each blank is in fieldset, otherwise no.
It would be good if you can review this patch in the near future, as I have to rework other pages in Moodle using this function and I may be busy later on.
Oleg, I still think you should post in the general developer forum about this, to get more people's opinions.
You don't mention it before. Here it is http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=112251 if it's really interested someone.
Actually, many peoples seems to don't know about repeat_elements, it's used in quiz/choice/questions only right now. One example is upload plugin for assugnment that can use it to get several files in one submit.
Better version of previous patch. Features:
1) caller can limit the number of blanks (useful when using to accept several files from student for example)
2) default implementation of get_last_used_blank allows to work somehow even if the caller doesn't provide function (or doesn't know about changes at all, the only downside will be wrong button string in many cases)
3) QUESTION_NUMANS_ADD lowered to 2 following change in it's meaning
I wonder, should we make this as a change in repeat_elements or create a new function? The function interface will be changed (thought it remain workable in very basic sense with old calls, but the number of choices would be uneditable), I convert all Moodle uses, but this may cause problems for 3d-party modules (for some questions for sure). On the other side, this is much needed interface improvment so waiting for 2.0 is quite a pain. But such interface change must be tied up at least with minor version change, so that any 3d-party plugin using it can have clear version distinctions for their versions.
Or, alternatively, we can declare repeat_elements deprecated and create a new similar function, dropping support of old function in 2.0 while having 2 functions in 1.9.
On the forum we get one vote for text field and not much else. I still wait you opinion on last patch before I start reworking all calls to the repeat_elements in Moodle.
Tim, before resorting to have this as 2.0 only I have one last proposition: make a new function (repeat_fields or whatever) with new interface, instead of editing repeat_elements. It saves us from compatibility breaks. repeat_elements would be deleted in 2.0
Also I'm still waiting you opinion on last patch (it isn't directly testable now). Are you content with this structure or something in it still bother you?
I am not going to have any time to work on this any time soon, so if anyone else can take this, please do.
Converting this to issue and creating subtasks to broke this issue in small, managable subtasks and leave aside API changing problems
Actually this issue could be resolved on a different basis: make "Add xxx" button working using javascript, adding blanks without page reloads at all.
This issue was assigned to me automatically, however I will not be able to work on this issue in the immediate future. In order to create a truer sense of the state of this issue and to allow other developers to have chance to become involved, I am removing myself as the assignee of this issue.
For more information, see http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Changes_to_issue_assignment
HI Oleg - if you think this is still an issue with the latest stable releases you should update the affects version above as well.
This issue has been converted to Epic. Please do not create any more sub-tasks, instead add issues in Epic. Also keep in mind that sub-tasks can not be added to HQ sprints.
Let me know if you need help in bulk-converting unresolved sub-tasks into epic issues.

Whatever the reason they walk through the front door, it's comforting when the first person they speak to is someone who can give them the information they need and point them in the right direction with a smile and a caring word.
One such person at Staten Island University Hospital North is Mary Buttermark.
"Her gracious demeanor and welcoming smile serve to ease anxiety for those who desire information, whether it be the location of pre-surgery testing, a patient's room, or simply directions to a particular service area," wrote SIUH President Anthony C. Ferreri in nominating the Great Kills resident as a Woman of Achievement.
Describing the perfectly coiffed and always impeccably attired Mrs. Buttermark as "a mainstay of the hospital's volunteer corps," Ferreri continued, "through her volunteer work at SIUH, she has given nearly 5,000 hours of her time in support of the health care of the people of Staten Island." In recognition of that support, Ferreri noted, she was named the hospital's 2011 Volunteer of the Year.
And it doesn't look like she'll be stopping the clock any time soon. Mrs. Buttermark, who has been volunteering at the hospital for 26 years, can be found at the information desk in the main lobby every Friday and, according to Volunteer Services Manager Patricia Codoner, any other day she's asked to cover a shift.
She found her way to the information desk 15 years ago after stints in the hospital's human resources department and gift shop.
"I had back trouble and couldn't stand for too long," Mrs. Buttermark said of why she left the gift shop. "So I ended up with Dorothy at the information desk and have been there ever since."
"Dorothy" would be the late Dorothy B. Rapp, wife of the late Dr. Michael S. Rapp. As Mrs. Buttermark explains it, the two met after she and her husband joined the Richmond County Country Club in 1974. Both she and Mrs. Rapp were avid golfers and played together for many years.
A retired nurse, Mrs. Rapp volunteered at SIUH as a member of the hospital's Women's Auxiliary and thought Mrs. Buttermark would enjoy volunteering as well.
"She'd always ask, 'Mary, when are you coming?' and I'd tell her, 'I'll get there. I just have to know where the five kids are.'"
Those would be the five children she has with her husband of nearly 60 years, well-known Island businessman Louis Buttermark.
"I met her on May 8, 1949, on a blind date," he'll tell you, adding, "and I've been [blinded by her] ever since."
She was Mary Burns then, and lived with her family on 8th Street in New Dorp. The lifelong Islander was born in 1930, attended Our Lady Queen of Peace School and, she proudly announces, graduated with the New Dorp High School Class of '47.
Mrs. Buttermark said she wanted to go into nursing, "but it never came to be.
"I was born at the height of the Depression. There wasn't any opportunity or money for me to go to school for nursing," she said. "I worked in the city as a secretary to help my parents pay off the mortgage on the house on 8th Street."
Both her father and grandfather were New York State licensed master plumbers (they owned James Burns Plumbing in Great Kills), so it's not surprising she wound up marrying Buttermark, a master plumber whose namesake plumbing and heating company has been operating on Staten Island for 52 years.
On hearing his wife mention that she was a member of the New York State Plumbing and Heating Association Auxiliary for many years, Mr. Buttermark was quick to note that she was at his side when he first started the business. "We used to work in the basement 'til midnight," she recalled.
Mr. Buttermark retired 10 years ago, turning over the company to the couple's three sons, Louis, Paul and David. "I still do a little," he said, explaining that he'll go to Borough Hall to file permits and such. But, he'd rather be playing golf, which he does four times a week.
All the Buttermarks are golfers, including daughters Kim and Jill, although Mrs. Buttermark has been away from the sport since suffering an accident three years ago.
"I used to play every Tuesday and Thursday, but I had a bad fall and fractured my right shoulder," she said. "I'm a lefty and my doctor feels confident I'll be able to play again, so I'm hopeful."
But if that doesn't work out, she still has her other love, bridge, which she plays every Monday.
"I enjoy the friendship and the competition, too," she said, sharing that she and her partner have done very well of late, having their names published in the Advance several times lately.
A member of the Huguenot Garden Club for nearly 10 years in the 1970s, three of them as the club's secretary, Mrs. Buttermark said she still enjoys growing vegetables and has fond memories of doing the same with her father, competing with him to see who could grow the most tomatoes, all those years ago on 8th Street.
Above all, though, there's her work at the hospital, which includes answering telephone requests for patient information and greeting visitors in the main lobby.
"We work in twosomes in 4-hour shifts," she explained, noting that the phones are open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. "The number of phone calls is tremendous," said Mrs. Buttermark, who also belongs to the hospital's Women's Auxiliary.
Asked about the greatest changes she's seen in her years at SIUH, she observed, "Staten Island is so big now and there are only three hospitals serving 500,000 people, where we used to have five hospitals for 300,000."
On the positive side, though, she said, "The hospital now has a burn unit and the heart tower, so people don't have to be rushed or helicoptered off the Island for care."
Of her dedication to the hospital, the 82-year-old believes it's connected to her early desire to enter the nursing profession.
"For me, it's very rewarding," she said. "I'm contributing, being helpful to people, often at a time when they are in difficulty."

Welcome from the Dean: Memo to Students
TO: All BRGSJS Students
FROM: David Berger, Dean
DATE: January 9, 2015
As the spring semester approaches, I invite you to examine the list of courses and the academic calendar that are accessible on this website. The calendar contains information about critically important deadlines with both academic and financial implications. Please study it carefully.
As the calendar indicates, online registration extends from December 2 to January 22. Instructions for online registration appear at the end of this memo. BRGSJS students are urged to avail themselves of this procedure.
In person registration for the spring semester will take place Tuesday-Friday, January 20-23. Hours are listed on the Revel Academic Calendar. The registration process starts in the BRGSJS office (Deans Suite, 3rd floor, Furst Hall). Those students who cannot register online or at the specified time in person should call Ms. Washington at 646-592-4270 during regular office hours to make alternate arrangements.
Continuous Record
Students should be aware that they must have a continuous record at BRGSJS. MA students who have completed the course work but are making up assignments and/or studying for the comprehensive examinations, or students who wish to take a leave of absence, must register in the appropriate category during the regular registration period.
Comprehensive Written Examinations for the MA Degree
Please note the March 13th deadline for applying for the Comprehensive Examination for the May 2015 degree to be taken on May 6th. The deadline for applying for the Comprehensive Examination and graduation for the September 2015 degree is July 23rd.
To take the examination a student must be an active student. This means that one must either be taking regular courses or be registered for Master's Research. (Active Student status in the spring semester is sufficient to establish eligibility for the September examination.) In addition, the student must have completed all the courses for the MA or be in the process of completing them during the spring semester. Students taking 5000 level courses during the spring that are required in their concentration must receive special permission from the office of the Dean to take the May examination; for the Bible concentration, such permission will generally not be granted. Students with an "Incomplete" on their record are not eligible to take the examination unless they have submitted the work necessary to remove that "Incomplete." The final grade itself does not have to be filed by the date of the examination.
Students who expect to graduate in May 2015 must file an application for the degree by March 13th. Applications are filed with the Registrar's office. Students should make certain that their academic record is in order. They must also determine that the final transcript documenting their undergraduate degree is on file.
The work for a given semester should normally be completed by the end of that semester, and instructors may require that this procedure be followed. With the instructor's permission, students may take up to an additional semester and a summer to complete their work. In the case of a summer course, the deadline is at the beginning of the following spring semester. Late work (two copies) may be filed with the BRGSJS office for transmission to the instructor. If the work is given directly to the instructor, an electronic copy must nevertheless be filed with the office by the appropriate deadline. Fellowships will not be renewed and scholarships will not be granted if work is not submitted within this time frame. In special circumstances, a modest extension may be granted with permission of both the faculty member and the Dean. Requests for such extensions must be made before the deadline. After the deadline, the course(s) in question may not be completed successfully and will not count toward the degree. Any additional courses that will consequently be needed to complete the degree will not be covered by financial aid.
Withdrawal from Courses
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must file the appropriate form at the Revel office. If the form is submitted by February 12th, the course will not appear on the student's record. If it is submitted after this date but no later than March 20th, it will appear on the student's record with a "W". University policy requires students who drop a course after February 12th to pay tuition for the course. Consequently, those who have already paid for it will not be eligible for a refund. Those who were granted a tuition scholarship for it will be billed.
March 20th is the last day to drop a course. Students who do not file the appropriate form by that date must complete work in the course by the deadline(s) outlined in the section on Incompletes.
Tuition Scholarships and Fellowships
Unless they have a scholarship and/or fellowship award letter that applies to the full 2014-2015 academic year, MA students wishing to receive an award for spring 2015 must submit a scholarship application. New applicants to the MA program wishing to receive an award for spring 2015 must also file a scholarship application. The applications are available online and in the Revel office. Please be aware that scholarship funds for the academic year 2014-2015 have been largely committed, and so the availability of new scholarships for the spring semester will be limited.
Students who need parking arrangements should contact the Security Office at (212) 960-5200 as soon as possible. Space is limited.
As I look at the occasionally harsh formulations in this memo, which purportedly welcomes you to the spring semester at BRGSJS, I am reminded of a cartoon by the renowned political cartoonist Herblock, who wrote in an age that most students will not recall. In response to a proposal that all immigrants be fingerprinted, he drew an immigration official sitting behind a desk with a big smile on his face and his hand extended to a new immigrant. In the hand was an open inkpad. The caption read, "Put 'er there, pal!"
How do I rectify this rather mixed message? My first reaction is inspired by the second chapter of the Greek textbook that I used as a YC student in the age of Herblock. It followed the chapter on the alphabet and dealt with accents. It began, as I recall all too distinctly, with a paragraph informing the reader that "a word with an acute accent on the ultimate syllable is called an oxytone, on the penultimate syllable—a paroxytone, on the antepenultimate syllable—a proparoxytone; a word with a circumflex accent on the ultimate syllable is a perispomenon, on the penultimate syllable—a properispomenon." Even these authors, who were, as the remainder of the book confirmed, among the stellar students of the Marquis de Sade, felt a bit uneasy about this paragraph, and so they tried to make the student-reader feel better with a reassuring concluding sentence. The best they could do was the following: "These terms, though formidable, will save much laborious periphrasis."
I am, then, tempted to conclude this memo by saying, "These instructions, deadlines, and dire warnings, though intimidating, will forfend much existential angst."
Part of me, however, doubts that this is a very good idea, and so I can only say that I and the BRGSJS faculty and staff genuinely welcome you as you begin or continue your studies here. Put 'er there, pal!

I actually thought this was just another internet legend. But there are other people out there wearing suits like this. I remember graduating from middle school (comparable) and in those days people looked like this in a suit. Horrible days and most poeple never wore a suit again after that experience ;D The worst thing is that girls complemented the guys on their apparel ^_^

Match Playing Conditions
2. Law 2 - Substitutes and Runners, Batsman or Fielder Leaving the Field, Batsman Retiring, Batsman Commencing Innings
Law 2 shall apply subject to the following:
2.1 Law 2.1 - Substitutes and Runners
Law 2.1 (a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply. A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted.
Law 2.1 (b) shall be amended as follows: The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a nominated player at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time.
2.2 Law 2.5 - Fielder absent or leaving the field
Law 2.5 shall be replaced by the following: If a fielder fails to take the field with his side at the start of the match or at any later time, or leaves the field during a session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable.
If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes:
2.2.1 the player shall not be permitted to bowl in that innings after his return until he has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which he was absent.
2.2.2 the player shall not be permitted to bat unless or until, in the aggregate, he has returned to the field and/or his side's innings has been in progress for at least that length of playing time for which he has been absent or, if earlier, when his side has lost five wickets.
The restrictions in Clauses 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 above shall not apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness).
In the event of a batsman or fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a player is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous absence, he shall automatically be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time.
2.2.3 Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. 'Wholly acceptable reasons' should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a 'comfort break'.
NOTE: Squad members of the fielding team who are not playing in the match and who are not acting as substitute fielders shall be required to wear a team training bib whilst on the playing area (including the area between the boundary and the perimeter fencing).

Psalm 83
God is asked to confound the enemies of His people—Jehovah is the Most High over all the earth.
1 Keep not thou
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to
10 Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the
13 O my God, make them like a
14 As the fire burneth a
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is

Anyone who's been flying in recent years knows there's one trend that continues unabated: Fliers will face more -- and higher -- fees in the coming year. But will the trajectory of fewer airlines, higher fares and crowded planes continue? Here are my predictions for airlines and passengers in 2013:
Carry-on bag fees. A major airline will start charging for carry-on bags. United maybe? Spirit and Allegiant already do and they haven't gone out of business. In fact, they're expanding. Major carriers are watching carefully.
But, more places to put those carry-ons. Several airlines, such as American, are expanding carry-on storage on their older jets, or retiring them entirely with planes offering much larger bins. It's about time. The bins in some of those older jets were designed 30 years ago.
Fewer regional jets. Speaking of small overhead bins, nobody really likes those 50-seat jets (RJs in airline-speak). Airlines don't like them either, anymore, since they tend to be gas guzzlers. We'll see more of them retired to the Mohave Desert this year.
AIRFARE EXPERT: Cheapest times to fly in 2013
ALSO ONLINE: Are you an expert on airline fees? Take our quiz
More mergers. I'd be shocked if the American-US Airways merger doesn't happen this year. Will someone also gobble up Frontier Airlines? Alaska? It's possible. Which will lead to ...
Higher fares. Not way higher, just a bit higher, thanks to all those mergers and capacity cuts. Routes that both AA and US Airways fly nonstop (Dallas-Charlotte, for instance) will see the brunt of fare increases. But most air travel is still "discretionary" -- people can choose to stay home, drive, or tele-conference. And yet, airlines are getting smarter. They have figured out that chasing market share for market share's sake alone is a one-way trip to bankruptcy court. For example, in December JetBlue increased capacity by 6.1%. And flew exactly 6.1% more passengers. At 2% more revenue. And so ...
Airlines will be profitable. With the possible exception of Virgin America, most airlines should make money in the current climate. Even though they'll be flying with ...
Fewer passengers. As a result of the fees, the higher fares, and airport/TSA hassles, more people will take to the highways and rails. Or just take a cruise from a nearby port.
Except on non-U.S. airlines. They have newer planes. And newer flight attendants. And Emirates, Turkish, and other well-heeled airlines based outside North America will expand service from major U.S. airports. In April, Turkish will launch service from Houston, and has been slashing fares from there to everywhere it flies ($399 round-trip including tax to Istanbul? Take that, United). The airline plans to add flights from Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Miami and Orlando. Qatar Airways will add flights from Chicago in April, and plans to add Boston and Detroit. Etihad will add service from Washington this year. These "superconnector" Middle Eastern airlines may provide some stiff competition to the American, Delta and United on international routes.
More self-service. You already pay a fee to book an airline ticket by phone with an airline employee, but I think we'll see more incentives for self-service this year. Maybe a charge to interact with a ticket agent at the airport? Spirit and Ryanair already charge a fee if you don't print out your boarding pass before arriving at the terminal. We may see other airlines follow suit. You'll be encouraged to print out your own baggage tag, too; maybe pay your bag fee at home, put it on a scale for a quick weight check by an employee, tag it, place it on a conveyor belt. And then you'll scan your boarding pass at the Jetway entrance.
Less legroom. Airlines will continue to cram more seats into their planes, reducing legroom. But you'll also find ...
More premium economy. Airlines have finally squeezed you so hard in those uncomfortable seats that you're now willing, or so they think, to pay more for slightly more comfort. JetBlue, American, Delta, United and American will all sell more "Main Cabin Extra," "Premium Economy," "Economy Comfort," or similar products for upcharges of between $10 and $118 per flight segment. Not more width, but definitely more (4 inches or so) legroom. And many foreign airlines (British, Air France, Lufthansa, Cathay, etc.) will offer this sort of thing too, along with perks such as preferred boarding. Basically all you're getting is what you used to get for free, before the airlines put the squeeze on.
More bundled fares. American kicked it off with $68 and $88 fare add ons (not fees, fares), including a round-trip checked bag, no change fees, priority boarding, and an adult beverage. Delta quickly followed suit with a more tentative set of bundled perks. Others will follow. Just as with premium economy, it's back to the future.

By Michaela Gibson Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
Alzheimer's disease can catch a person between the shifting planes of mind and memory, cutting them off from the outside world.
Expressive art forms can help families and communities build a bridge – even if it's a temporary one, said Tuscaloosa, Ala., neurologist Dr. Daniel Potts, who became an advocate for Alzheimer's patients and their families after his experiences with his father.
"It promotes emotional well-being for patients and their caregivers," Potts said. "There's something about the art that harnesses another part of the brain."
Potts shared the story of his father, Lester Potts, and his insights on the value of expressive art for people with dementia in a presentation at North Mississippi State Hospital in Tupelo.
Expressive arts – drawing, painting, music, dancing, drama and storytelling – validate the person in the present, it helps them pull their life stories into the present.
"The pilot light is still on," Potts said, and there's someone still inside the mind ravaged by Alzheimer's.
The brain actually sprouts new connections in people participating in artistic activities, even older people, Potts said.
"A rich, stimulating environment is so important for all of us, lifelong," he said.
Many day programs incorporate the arts into their programs, but it's accessible to people who are caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's at home, Potts said.
Brenda Johnson, who serves as the facilitator for the Alzheimer's support group in West Point said she was encouraged by Potts' presentation.
"It makes you realize there's untouched territory," said Johnson, who plans to try using water colors with her mom, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's seven years ago.
Personal journey
It was his father's journey through Alzheimer's disease that gave Potts a new perspective.
"It has changed my life and it's given me a passion for people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers," Potts said.
Lester Potts, whose family has roots in the Carolina community of Itawamba County, grew up primarily around his father's sawmill and the men who ran it near Aliceville, Ala. He was a very industrious man, active in his community. He built birdhouses, but wouldn't have considered himself artistic and wasn't interested in art galleries.
"All of his hobbies were work," Daniel Potts said.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's started to show in 1999, but Potts wasn't diagnosed until 2002.
"I had failed to identify the early signs or I was in denial," Potts said.
As his world contracted and he lost the ability to do things like hammer a nail, untangle Christmas lights and communicate clearly, Lester Potts became apathetic and depressed.
At a faith-based Alzheimer's day program, he was introduced to water colors, and it made a huge difference for him. His ability with water colors amazed his family; the elder Potts had no history of art work or even art appreciation.
"He created this after he couldn't clean himself up," Daniel Potts said, as he showed slides of colorful water colors . Motifs from his childhood – the double-handled saw blade, the tall lace-up shoes his father wore, old friends – would show up in his art work. "It gave him back his pride."
At first, he started painting objects in front of him or scenes from magazines. Later, he created abstract pictures from his mind.
"Dad was going rapidly down," Potts said. "I think it helped stabilize him for two years."
Lester Potts died in 2007, but his art has a lingering legacy for his son.
"Alzheimer's begins to peel away the social facade, what the world knows about the person," Potts said. "It can reveal a deeper core."

I read an article the other day that just got me damn mad. Heather Falvey, a so called British historian is now claiming that America didn't invent the doughnut. How can that be? It is Homer Simpson's favorite snack and US cops are addicted to them. Have you ever seen an English Bobby eating a doughnut? No, of course not! They eat fish and chips. Listen here, the doughnut is as American as apple pie. I don't care that this Britt recently unearthed 213-year-old recipe book that puts the doughnut's legacy into British hands. She claims that Baroness Elizabeth Dimsdale of Hertfordshire was given the recipe by the originator of the doughnut (or "dow nut" as she put it) in 1800, but it's unclear who this unnamed woman is. The book recipe doesn't give a lot of instructions on how to make them; It's more what to use. Who knows, shaped differently, they could be just another English scone. So here's the real story.
The origin of doughnuts has a disputed history, but it's all within America. After all, why do you think they call the United States the Promised Land? One theory suggests they were invented in North America by Dutch settlers, who were responsible for popularizing other American desserts, including cookies, apple and cream pie and cobbler. In the 19th century, doughnuts were sometimes referred to as one kind of oliekoek (a Dutch word literally meaning "oil cake"), a "sweetened cake fried in lard.
Hanson Gregory, an American, claimed to have invented the ring-shaped doughnut in 1847 aboard a lime-trading ship when he was only 16 years old. Gregory was dissatisfied with the greasiness of doughnuts twisted into various shapes and with the raw center of regular doughnuts. He claimed to have punched a hole in the center of dough with the ship's tin pepper box, and later taught the technique to his mother.
According to anthropologist Paul R. Mullins, the first cookbook mentioning doughnuts was an 1803 English volume which included doughnuts in an appendix of American recipes. I believe the anthropology of man, and our nation, can be traced more accurately through the foods and beverages of time, rather than through the riches of art, the prose of literature, the rhythm of music or the structure of architecture. So quit trying to steal our legacy, Heather Falvey, doughnuts belong to America and with a doughnut all things are possible.
Ed's Chocolate Glazed Yeast Doughnuts
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Proof Time: 30 to 40 minutes
Fry Time: 2 minutes
Ready in: 1 hour
Yield: 2 baker's dozen doughnuts (that's 26!)
For the Doughnuts:
3 1/4 ounce packages "Rapid Rise" yeast (3/4 oz total)
1/2 cup warm water (105-115ºF)
2 1/4 cups whole milk, scalded, then cooled
1 cup granulate sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup shortening
7 cups, plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, sifted
canola oil for frying
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
6 ounce Choclatique Private Reserve Dark Chocolate
2 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6-9 tablespoons evaporated milk
For the Doughnuts:
- Proof the yeast by mixing 1 tablespoon of flour with the warm water. Mix it up and let it rest.
- Scald the milk in a microwave or on top of a stove, and let cool.
- Combine the yeast mixture, cooled milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 1/2 cups of flour and cocoa powder.
- Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the bowl.
- Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
- Carefully stir in remaining flour until the dough is smooth and silky.
- Cover the dough and let rise until it doubles, about 30-60 minutes, depending on the yeast you used.
- After the dough has risen, turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour.
- Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin.
- Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Separate donuts and holes, as they take different frying times.
- Cover and let them rise until doubled in sizes, about 30-40 minutes.
Note: Save your scraps! They are both great to test your fry time and to snack on while you're making the rest!
Note: If you want to make these donuts for breakfast, let the donuts rise in the refrigerator overnight!
For the Glaze:
Make the glaze before frying so it can sit at room temperature until the donuts are fried and ready to be dipped.
- Melt the butter and chocolate and stir in powdered sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla until blended.
- Add the milk until desired consistency is reached.
For Frying the Doughnuts:
- Use a deep pan to heat the oil.
- Using a frying thermometer heat the oil to 350ºF. Use some of the scraps of the doughnut dough to test different frying times.
- Carefully place the donuts in the oil. Cook on each side for about one minute. Use chopsticks to flip the donuts and remove them from the oil.
- Place donuts on a rack or paper towels to drain.
For Glazing the Doughnuts:
- Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and set them on a rack to dry. It okay to dipped both sides of the doughnuts in the glaze.
- Let them set for 10 minutes to set.
ChefSecret: Scalding the milk prevents an enzyme from killing the yeast. If you don't scald it first to kill the enzyme, the donuts won't rise.
