Component/s: Course, Files API, Web Services
Testing Instructions:
Testing core_course_get_contents()
Get a PHP web service client: https://github.com/moodlehq/sample-ws-clients
1- Call the core_course_get_contents($courseid) web service function on a big course (for example restore http://hub.moodle.org/?courseid=278)
2- check that the content you receive is correct (try to check one activity per module type)
3- finally call this function when the https setting in enabled (all the site in https only). The returned file download urls should be in https (for example for file resource).
Testing the file download script:
1- Download one of the file url you got from your previous core_course_get_contents(). You'll need to add your ws token at the end (?token=893ny873b873b). Check that you can retrieve the right file.
2- Set the 'Can download file' in service advance settings to OFF. Then try to download the file again. It should fail.
3- Try some fail cases from the following list: ip restriction/unvalid date on token/service, user not listed in restricted list, missing required capability, site in maintenance mode, user suspended, user confirmed, user deleted, nologin auth, password expired, web service disabled. I added some info about that in the docs: http://docs.moodle.org/21/en/Web_services_FAQ#What_is_the_.27Access_control_exception.27_errorTesting core_course_get_contents() ================================== Get a PHP web service client: https://github.com/moodlehq/sample-ws-clients 1- Call the core_course_get_contents($courseid) web service function on a big course (for example restore http://hub.moodle.org/?courseid=278 ) 2- check that the content you receive is correct (try to check one activity per module type) 3- finally call this function when the https setting in enabled (all the site in https only).

I was thinking about this web service today, there are a few problems we need to notice:
- Folder module, moodle web service isn't capable to represent tree data, so we may need to ask moodle create a zip file, we download the file and present the tree locally
- I am afraid we cannot create a generic web service to return all module contents, because moodle web service cannot return dynamic data structures, the return structure are defined in service.php and the actually return value must match web service definition.
- We probably still need more web services to load activity contents, like get_forum_contents, this get_course_contents web service will be used to return course structure and essential activity summaries.
- we should have modicon field for each module
- In topic course format, I have a section without modules, but it has name and description, it's not shown in web service response
A note:
if section name doesn't exist, web service should use default section name or an empty string, section name field should be required.
Just found one problem, for resource module, we should return all available files not just main, I'm working on it.
I found an issue:
1- Download from the community finder the course called: ECOIS-training: Moodle voor docenten (2 dagen)
2- Call the function
3- An exception is raised by the web service returned values validation. The URL resource called '''Toelichting: groepen''' has for fileurl => $@BOOKVIEWBYID*1102@$&chapterid=123
I'm not sure where the issue come from (backup process ? restore process? url resource?), but this kind of bug could happens again I guess.
I think the function should clean fileurl, and if ever fileurl != cleaned fileurl, then we just don't send back the element, or marked if as failure?
Hi DS,
In topic course format, I have a section without modules, but it has name and description, it's not shown in web service response
Your above comment has not been fixed in topic and weekly course format.
I'm not sure how to reproduce the issue on a download from community finder (Jerome's last comment). could you provide some instruction steps for it?
The section name has been fixed, please re-fetch it from my github.
> I'm not sure how to reproduce the issue on a download from community finder (Jerome's last comment). could you provide some instruction steps for it?
It's been fixed, so you cannot reproduce it anymore.
Dongsheng, can you please review /webservice/pluginfile.php and make sure it's doing full checks? For example, it doesn't actually seem to be checking if the token supplied actually allows that user to download files.
Hi Dongsheng,
I've had a look through this and heres my 2c:
webservice/pluginfile.php :
- i think its better to wrap this service, that depends on Tokens for access, within an extension to class webservice_base_server. Theres checks ( see load_function_info() ) that do proper access checks that ws/pluginfile.php is trying to reimplement (but not fully). This way we can define webservices to strict secure policies that are centralised in that one class.
course/externallib.php :
- summaryformat param PARAM_INT instead?
- modname param : PARAM_PLUGIN instead?
the rest looks good to me but this needs more work to be secure. Eloy and others may have other ideas of implementing security quicker.
> summaryformat param PARAM_INT instead?
External application doesn't know the meaning of the int number, so I think it makes more sense to use string here.
> modname param : PARAM_PLUGIN instead?
Agreed, will fix that
Regarding the security check, I got comments from mixed sources (Martin's from Petr, Aparup's from Eloy and Jerome), please comment here directly.
From what I understand, we are not sure about webservice/pluginfile.php of token to setup user session. The token is associated with moodle web service pack, say our mobile service, because of download script is not really a web service function, if we do need to check if the token allows user to download files, we will need a fake web service function, if it included in web service pack, then download requests allowed, if not reject download request, does this make sense?
I had talked with Eloy, I summarise the ideas here:
- We need to validate the token's contexts, make sure it only worked in certain contexts, for example, if users request a file in course A, but token is only allowed to download from course B, then pluginfile.php should reject the download request. I talked with Jerome, the problem is there is no context restricts on token and external service at all (the web service function pack), we need to implement this in web service core and somehow indicate the download capability in certain web service pack (maybe a fake download ws function)
- Each web service function should have limited access to moodle files, for example get_forum_attachments should only be able to access forum_attachments area, not course_files area, two things we need to do to archive this: 1. add new web service description to define file areas 2. ws/pluginfile.php needs to know which ws function is request the file. And we should have a ws function to validate URLs embedded in web service returns to authorise the uses.
Sorry integrators but this is quite urgent to deal with as:
- the Mobile app depends on this, and we'd like to release it with 2.2.
- Dongsheng is going on leave in one week.
Note the dependency on Jerome's MDL-30268
Hi guys,
Interesting stuff…. not yet sorry a few technical problems and a certainly I think the approach in regards to the new callback needs to be discussed.
About the approach:
- I really really dislike the new something_export_contents.
Personally I think the approach is wrong, I think that get_course_contents should not return that information instead the client should be required to request content information about specific modules, it shouldn't be up to one magical function to return everything. Splitting it means that we would need to create externallib functions for the affected modules which is a double bonus because then information can be targeted specifically anyway when required. This also avoids the need for hacks like in mod/page/lib.php.
Now I know that this is highly desired to get in but honestly I think it needs to be thought about otherwise I fear we will just be duplicating our code in the future and causing unfortold headaches. If this is still going to go in then I must ask that at least we rename the callback to something that relates to what the function is doing. Not something that could be mistake to return content.
Notes from code:
- course/externallib.php
- Please document the options, likely in the phpdocs of the get_course_contents method and probably useful in the options.name param description in get_course_contents_parameters
- The exception thrown if the course format is not found would be totally extraneous to the average user. That exception should be have a generic localised description and a non-localised message to the effect of that string passed in the debug information.
- Presently before accessing a course in get_course_contents we check whether the user can update the course OR the course is visible OR they can view hidden courses. Surely this requires more checks. I would think that this section of code needs to jump through the same hoops that course/view.php does, most importantly that he user can view/access the course.
- $sectionvalues['name'] should be retrieved through course/lib.php::get_section_name for consistency.
- $sectionvalues['summary'] should this not be formatted properly before returning it. Certainly as an client I would expect to get the summary in its formatted state.
- $sectionvalues['summary format'] is there any need for this to be returned? I can't think why it would be useful, especially if summary is always formatted in which case things will always be formatted as HTML.
- $cm->uservisible checks the users ability to view a module and includes checks both visibility (+viewhiddenactivities) and group access so there is no need to check viewhiddeactivities.
- $cm->name should be formatted before setting to $module['modname'] for return again assuming we deliver things in their final format rather than raw.
- $module['description'] code is flawed, its using !empty($module['description']) which could never have been set. My -1 to send that back if it is meant to be there.
- $module['visible'] should always be set because any users who can not see visible courses should not have got that far.
- There's something about the availability code that I don't like although I haven't focused on it yet. I will review this further.
- webservice/pluginfile.php
- The SQL statement to get the service can be improved, there doesn't appear to be any need to join to external_tokens as you already have the token. Also noting that you should check that result of that query to make sure it does return a service or use MUST_EXIST.
- Before calling get_auth_plugin($user->auth) you need to default user->auth to manual if it is empty. I also need to further review the check for auth expiration as I'm not familiar with
- Why is download being forced here, shouldn't that still depend on the file being served? What if the someone writes a web client and outputs the result to the browser it will force them to download otherwise inline content right?
- There is also another situation whereby if someone requests a users profile picture through webservice/pluginfile.php they get redirected to the default profile pic in the pix directory. I think this ties in with the above and we need to deal with that force download thing.
- lib/filelib.php: Whats the desired outcome if the file can't be served? For instance if someone fails a require_login call.
I've been pouring over this all afternoon now. I'll give you guys a chance to respond and then we'll continue from there.
Please note there are a couple of things I need to investigate still, two noted above, and I need to wrap my head around the implications of file serving like this.
Dongsheng needs to address most of this, but I can address a couple points straight away:
Approach: DS can confirm this but I think this was because of mobile performance. We need to get the whole course outline as a structured tree in terms of files, to avoid hundreds of hits on the server from a phone. I agree though that having the hardcoded webservice URL in there isn't awesome.
One solution is to get get_course_contents() to call effectively the same functions in externallib.php rather than lib.php, if they were defined there as fully standalone web service functions. It's the external interface to each module after all.
What I really wanted was to re-use the portfolio system but it looks like DS didn't implement it that way. So the other solution (my preferred, I think) would be simply to extend the new function in lib.php a little to take out the "webservice" URL hardcoding (by adding some other parameter like $fileroot, and make it a generic low-level function that can be used by Web services AND portfolio later.
2.3 That's for security and if it isn't already, should be documented as comments in the file. This script is for sending files efficiently to web service clients only. It should never serve files to be displayed directly (to avoid XSS). There is /pluginfile.php for direct web serving.
My apologies I've just been looking at the auth code and my 2.2 is not correct, there is no need to check $user->auth
Thanks for reviewing Sam, I will fix the small problem you found this afternoon
Nice work and nice reviews. It's impressive.
Just a note about $options that is not used. We could use it to only ask for the 'forums' in one course. For the moment we just need to document it as 'options - not used yet - will be used to specify a module type in a later version'
As we could use $options to tweak this function later, I'd vote for Martin's second solution to make the COMPONENT_export_contents(...) more "lib function"-like.
About the name, it's still confusing for me too But we could not find a better one.
Dongsheng I just noticed that page_export_contents is actually sending the content as a string. Which is completely different to all the other modules and if a page has a lot of them could result in a massive download.
This seems incorrect, the content should be served as a file URL exactly like everything else.
What I think should be happening is that it returns a pluginfile.php link, and then that will call page_pluginfile() in page/lib.php. That function may have to be modified to recognise different arguments so it can generate and serve a HTML file from the content.
Martin, the existing page_pluginfile is for serving page contents, images, audio etc, the file area named `content`, I create a new one `pagecontent`?
Hi all, I asked Jerome to peer review, this is a list of things I changed:
1.1 options is not in used yet, I added comment in phpdocs and web service description to indicate this.
1.2 tell user cannot get course contents and added error to debug info
1.3 *** added section visible check, is there more I missed?
1.4 done
1.5 done
1.6 removed ,but please note, other course related web service has summaryformat field, we better fix them too
1.7 removed
1.8 formated
1.9 fixed
1.10 fixed
2.1 the service is associated with token, I need to join the token table to find the related service
2.3 2.4 Martin's comment explained these
Other things:
- page module now use page_pluginfile to export page content (as a real file), there is a problem, when page contains embedded images, we need to convert %%PLUGINFILE%% to real url, but xxx_pluginfile don't know is from webservice/pluginfile.php or /pluginfile.php, to properly fix this we need somehow inform xxx_pluginfile its source, but this requires change file api... I discussed with Martin, we added a norewrite arg after in url to prevent rewrite urls in page content, it's not pretty solution for this issue
- Regarding the design of this web service, I guess too late to change it, the original doc created on August, and we didn't get many comments on it. Then Jerome started to work on it, and the mobile app is based on it, it's quite a lot re-work if we choose another way to do this.
Went through all the points, it looks good. Sam can continue his massive review
OK, I've been thinking about this more, Dongsheng.
I think with the page_pluginfile() that we can safely assume that the main filearea will NEVER include an index.html file. It simply doesn't make sense in the module and filepicker won't allow it.
So let's just use that filename to get the file content.
So page_export_content() returns a list of "index.html", "fred.jpg" and "wilma.jpg". This will only be returned to things like portfolio and web service clients of course. In these cases, we don't need any full URL for embedded media at all. In fact, we KNOW that the embedded media is relative to this GENERATED file in a very particular way.
When the file index.html is requested in page_pluginfile, we generate the file on the fly and rewrite the links to be proper relative links like <img src="wilma.jpg" />
This means no fake filearea, no bad URLs. All we have is a fake file, but then that is exactly what mod/page is.
I think this is very clean and simple. And mobile clients only need to download the page (and associated media) when they need it.
yes, this should be ok, the matter is about how we present page html, so your suggestion is removing %%PLUGINFILE%% from page content, then client will use relative path to display resources, this requires minimum changes in code.
What I gonna do:
1. instead of rewriting URLs in page html, we simply remove all %%PLUGINFILE%%
2. Just to be sure, and url for page html will be:
Right? This should be easy, I can finish this tonight
Just quick fix you can pick there: https://github.com/mouneyrac/moodle/tree/wip-MDL-30459
Thanks Jerome
I cherry-picked your changes, added on top of my changes.
Here's a review/opinion/braindump, i hope it helps
webservice/upload.php :
line 91 - do we want to deactivate/delete the token if the password is expired for additional security measures. - for future consideration.
line 383 - will inter-mod_page links break? is that even possible? <noidea/>
webservice/pluginfile.php :
line 45 (2.1) : Each token is linked to only one web service currently (no idea why but thats what security keys page shows too). I think what Sam means is
for a single token from the validation of token check so for performance :
// Obtain token record
if (!$token = $DB->get_record('external_tokens', array('token'=>$token))) {
print_error('invalidtoken', 'webservice');
//retrieve web service record
$servicesql = 'SELECT s.*
FROM {external_services} s
WHERE s.id = ?
AND t.token = ? AND t.userid = ? AND s.enabled = 1';
$service = $DB->get_record_sql($servicesql, array($token->externalserviceid, $token->token, $token->userid), MUST_EXIST);
hm, makes sense ^^ ?
edge case: *_export_contents() serves fileurl without https. what about a moodle site only accessible via SSL alone? workaround is to modify wwwroot to use https. DS mentioned a possible WS-https-only configuration flag to detect this case.
minor issues,
line 265 , 268 - Lets have a MDL issue next to the TODOs here.
line 270 - Jerome's varlog() in comment
with that, I don't see any major issues blocking this going into integration and upstream currently (or on monday before Eloy rolls master). Since we're in a rush to have this in before 2.2, having some side issues would be great to later tackle undealt with issues.
About the points I can talk:
Don't worry, in login/token.php and webservice layer do the same, so it's consisten. In my opinion, password and token are not related to each other, so it's good like that for me
I think this one is enough:
$servicesql = 'SELECT s.* FROM
s WHERE s.id = ? AND s.enabled = 1';
$service = $DB->get_record_sql($servicesql, array($token->externalserviceid), MUST_EXIST);
However I just noticed (sorry, I should have picked it up before as I did the fixes in login/token.php), we missed few checks:
- check if the service is restricted, and in this case check if the user is in the restricted list.
- check if the service has ip restriction / valid until date (we only check the ones for the token)
- check if the service has a required capability.
I don't remember if Moodle switch automatically in HTTPS when the setting is ON. if not, then it is quite a big issue.
The second TODO it's more for a developer advice using this function for debugging Not really a TODO. You can replace //varlog byt //error_log(print_r(...,true));
Yup, this should likely go in today. Reopened for Jerome to work on - go go go
I added a new commit for the missing authentication checks (I didn't test all of them). Note that I made the download script an AJAX script. I thought it would be good to be like the upload script. I think it's easier for the web service client to deal with a json error than the Moodle exception html code. If anyone has an opinion on how to return error for download scripts, please let me know. I'll be happy to improve this
For history, previous fix was:
looking good on final approach..
thanks guys this has been integrated!
spotted an issue with 'read' type of the function but requiring 'update' sort of cap, but this had already been previously noted and have issues (MDL-29962 , Thanks Jerome for the quick searches)
and passing too, works for me , ready for (new) QA testing.
Thanks everyone!
The master fixes corresponding to this issue have been sent upstream. Fixes for other branches (19, 20, 21 stable) will be sent in the very-next days.
Thanks for the hard work! Closing, ciao
Added QA test MDLQA-1548.

What's the Oldest Hebrew Inscription?
Four contenders vie for the honor of the oldest Hebrew inscription. To decide we must determine (1) whether they are in Hebrew script and/or language and (2) when they date. Not easy!
The first contender, the already famous Qeiyafa Ostracon, was discovered only in 2008 at Khirbet Qeiyafa, a site in the borderland of ancient Judah and Philistia.a The five-line ostracon (an ink inscription on a piece of broken pottery) is not well preserved and is subject to varying readings.
As the Qeiyafa Ostracon is a recent find, so the Gezer Calendar is an old one. It was discovered exactly a hundred years earlier, in 1908, by Irish archaeologist R.A.S. Macalister at Tel Gezer, between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It describes agricultural activities over a 12-month period. Inscribed on a piece of soft limestone, it is sometimes supposed to be a schoolboy's ditty.

Zona loved to travel with her husband. She also enjoyed crafts, crocheting, quilting, cooking, gardening, canning, and family get-togethers. She will be remembered as a loving mother who always put others before herself.
Zona is survived by her children: Kirby (Jody) Anderson of Emery, and Phillip Anderson of Rock Springs, Wyo.; five grandchildren: Travis Anderson, Jacey Hannabach, Colter Anderson, Jamie Horsley, and Brandy Pottmeyer; and seven great-grandchildren: Tim Hannabach, Dustin Hannabach, Kaycee Anderson, Kylee Anderson, Elliott Horsley, Christian Anderson, and Jayden Horsley.

Customer Reviews
Comments: good lenses, junk frames. After four months of use, I was looking in my tackle for something and suddenly one of the arms of the glasses just suddenly snapped off. I did not even touch them, I was just wearing them. I crazy glued them together for a temporary fix and it seemed to work fairly well. A few days later in mid cast, the other arm suddenly snapped off, and the glasses fell in the lake. I was left with a broken sunglass arm and an $80 dent in my wallet. I took pretty good care of them until this happened. They where never dropped, had no scratches, and where kept in the bag in a sunglass case. I noticed that the frames seemed to be cracking from sweat. Cheapest plastic frames I've seen yet!

This pair of singers with one of the biggest songs of the year had a big falling out recently when the lesser known of the pair hooked up with the celebrity boyfriend of the more well known half of the duo.
Iggy & Fancy?ReplyCancel
ryan lewis and macklemoreReplyCancel
Bwahaha SAME love, Derek. He can't change even if he tried, even if he waaaaanted toooooo
Ryan's cock keeps Macklemore warm. Explains those haircuts too 😉
So is it Charli or Whora?
haha —but that might have been a song from last year—but who knows what calendar Enty uses these daysReplyCancel
I am so out of the loop with pop music—the new Arcade Fire album hasn't left my stereo in months that and Roxy Music—-but I must brush up on my Miami Sound Machine lol—or Gloria Esteffen Coming out of the Dark is a good power ballad ; )ReplyCancel
@PV—I know his voice is so sexyReplyCancel
Oh em gee, Derek. Don't take this the wrong way, but when you got banned from the book club, THIS song came to mind. Now that you brought up the word Roxy, it's been cracking me up…
PS: How the FUCK does one get formally banned from the Bookie Wookie Club?!?! LolReplyCancel
@Lady—lol! that's not GO THERE today—-lets just say it was pretty easy ; )
I would love to go to LA and see all those dive bars—I may be going in November—I wanna go to The Viper Room—is that place still open?ReplyCancel
*lets not GoReplyCancel
@LadyH I respectfully ask that that situation not be brought up on here. I have stayed quiet despite many many posts by Derek bullying me via sexual harassment due to my gender, and will continue to do so as long as that subject continues to stay off CDaN. Do with my request what you will, this is all I will say on the subject.ReplyCancel
oh good grief……..if you call wailing like a banshee quiet…lmao—don't worry hun I will continue to avoid you and your issues like the plagueReplyCancel
Thicke and Thor's brother!
Kidding, kiddingReplyCancel
Grow up. This is the first time I have addressed you in any manner in weeks, despite my screenshots of every time YOU mocked me without cause or reason or response from me. Back off.ReplyCancel
I am not fighting with you today freak—take it somewhere else and lay off the adderalReplyCancel
Oh my…ReplyCancel
Oh now we've moved on to mocking mental health issues. Well, you have said some truly cruel, unwarranted and horrible things to and about people on here, but mocking a rape victim is far worse than anything you ever said to me. That I will acknowledge.ReplyCancel
Sorry, Riven. I was just making a joke, I wasn't intending to open any old wounds or start shit. My bad.ReplyCancel
@Doctah—-when did I mock a rape victim? get lost weirdo
Can anyone explain arriana grande to me? She screeches, not sings. At least miley et al can sing, arriana sounds like a howling dog singing along to mariah.
She's cute though, but the voice.ReplyCancel
I really don't understand the appeal of Ariana but I watch Big Brother and her brother that is on it is annoying as fuck so I just cant look past that—everytime I see her now I think of himReplyCancel
"lay off the adderal"
He mines posts for data about you to use in the future to mock you. I didn't mention taking adderall until my migraine last weekend, and of course now it's added to his list of insults. Implying that what I write in disagreement with him is the result of abusing medications I am prescribed to treat a known disability is crass and ignorant.ReplyCancel
Lol You got banned from the bookie wookie??! God, I love you more now. That is so fkn funny
Hahahaha right on
It's clearly not Macklemore and Ryan, I was just piling on Derek's joke. I apologize if I took it too far and offended you, Alabama.ReplyCancel
@Riven—it is crystal clear the issues you have no need to explain themReplyCancel
@Alabama—no way! LadyH is the best and open to all opinions etc–and I wish you and everyone post more!
@Yoj–I think its cause she ALWAYS as her mouth open in photos like a blow-up doll lol
When have I gotten on anyone's ass for what they say? Oh right, I don't. That's just "others." Everyone is free to speak their minds and hearts as far as I'm concerned.ReplyCancel
There IS a possibility that you may be too sensitive for this site. I mean no ill will to you, but have ya seen some of the other comments that arent involved w you?? It can get downright ridiculous. (U arent the only one) So you may want to reconsider clicking onto the 'comments' section- it wont get better- you'll just draw more attention to yourself and theyll pounce. This is just an idea.ReplyCancel
@LadyH—the vultures are out for us today—I am going for a jog lol be back later xo hopefully for the 230 blindsReplyCancel
@Rose exactly lol—-*storms out dramatically waving my freak flag*
; )
I agree with your last statement Alabama. Although I am not perfect, I also don't believe anyone has a pass to be as awful to people as Derek has consistently been. For the record I was never once douchey to Derek. He began bullying me on every post in the beginning of July over my gender, without any provocation from me. But believe what you will on what he has said alone, I really don't care. I made the mistake of letting myself be drawn into an ad-generating war of words but I won't continue to participate.
Anyone who believes anything Derek says about me doesn't pay attention to the weeks of me not saying a single word back. Who's got issues again?ReplyCancel
My dear ladyH, why do you apologize so much? Its ok to own your individual thoughts, comments, and position on an issue.. how people react is not (y)our business, no?ReplyCancel
So true.ReplyCancel
Yes, Sherry, im sure its too many hurt feelings. When you spill info on a GOSSIP BLOG, you open yourself up to alot of it coming back at ya, and not always in the nicest way. If people want to comment here they (occasionally) have to have thick skin.ReplyCancel
@Riven—anyone that reads the comments knows that you are a cry baby and sound like a freakin broken record! going on and on for no reason—-your like the boy who cries wolf—-stfu.ReplyCancel
Lol SO Kari! Totally forgot this was a blind.
Guys make "that fateful day" clicky! Y'all keep talking about when all this shit went down (the most recent shit ;p) and I missed it…hmph.ReplyCancel
Probably is Icky Alazblah and that snotty Ariana Grande Latte brat.
When for the love of Gawd are their fifteen gonna be up? I can't stand Grande Latte or her jackass narcissist brother on Big Brother. And as for Icky…I don't give a damn if a black man (TI) did supposedly "discover" her, she still is doing a minstrel act that I find disgusting. And I'm not even black.
This is so Garfunkel and Oates. I'd hit either of them.ReplyCancel
I've ignored prior pleas for the CDAN link of "THAT" fateful day, but since I inadvertently drugged old drama up anyways, wth.
This went down a month ago (Friday 7/18). Enjoy this epic shit show!
Some of it spilled over onto HERE as well…ReplyCancel
@Alabama, you have called out the people who banned Derek a few times. I'm not quite sure where you're getting at. I'm not defending Derek either, as I have disagreed with him quite a few times on things that he has said. He gets called out a lot more than some here. The only difference is, where some may get defensive, or just leave, Derek continues on with whatever he was saying.
No offense, Derek. I have seen you get nasty on occasion.ReplyCancel
FTR I was "banned" from the book club lol (I only posted there like 2 prior) because they were talking trash about the commenters here—RIVEN particularly about me and Tricia and I called them out on it—TTM apologised on the others behalf etc and explained that was not cool—-but then when I attempted to post after the thread Lady H just posted I was just cut off because I didn't kiss TTMs ass enough and giggled at her being called out on having some internet affair—–but you sure as hell bet I creep occasionaly–Not as much as those pretentious fools think I do cause I do have a job and an actual social life etcReplyCancel
Iggy/Ariana/Ariana's BfReplyCancel
oh and TTM went out of her way to email a certain reader whom I am friendly with on this blog to tell her not to communicate with me (we ONLY communicate here) or she would not be welcome to contribute at The Book Club—dumb cabbage patch doll looking excuse of a woman….that is it—bath time
****Down at the west Coast lalala***
Setting these fascinating personal bitchfights aside for a moment (but *only* for a moment), what about the "I'm Up All Night to Get Lucky" duo or the "I Don't Care, I Love It" duo?
I think one of them is called Daft Punk but I'm not sure which one.ReplyCancel
Hahahahahaha SERIOUSLY??? OMG HOW DO U PEOPLE HAVE TIME AND ENERGY FOR THAT SHIT???
hahahahaha thats awesome, I cannot believe that grown ass adults act like that hahahahahahaha
@Borebee: IconaPop don't care, they love it! Great guess!ReplyCancel
What will you do now that you are banned from the book club @ Derek? LOL
@LadyH : thanks for the good reading material fuck I forgot all about that drama – it's been nice to come here and actually read celeb gossip as opposed to all the OT shit
And why would anyone talk shit about @Tricia?ReplyCancel
Well damn! By the time I got to the end of this comment thread I completely forgot what the blind was about! I have nothing on the agenda today so it looks like I'll be checking those links Lady H posted 🙂ReplyCancel
Thank you, Lady H, but I have no idea if anyone in either duo has a celebrity boyfriend.
Imma cross my fingers that it's not the Biebs for any of them.ReplyCancel
@Lady Heisenberg
I remember that. I wasn't a regular poster here (and anyway, that particular discussion wasn't any of my business) but a devoted reader.
It was uncomfortable to witness. All my favorite imaginary friends were falling out with one another!
Apart from the TTM's book club, what was the other off-site locale that people kept referring to?
I was never part of the club, and I was aware there was a blowout night..but never pursued why or questioned it…I has no idea my name was even in the mix….so for that I say thank you @derek for the chivalry on my behalf…I know not what was said, and fear even opening link to read it. I will say,@theresa…I think my determination/obstinance though I prefer…passion lol to be correct was offputting, arrogance at times and I apologized for that and think people are aware o it…I also had a seemingly annoying cyber habit of deleting…which was more of an effect of more than one guess, a better guess etc…I ceased that as well more or less..my Irish came out once or twice and have had very heated disputes with people that occurred because though I am quite non confrontational by nature, I fiercely defend myself and always will…and friends, which is why I feel badly about being remiss with people that have defended me.
Having said all that, I've actually had non CDAN communici with people whom, I had have had some issues with..and they were all corrected, and made better by simple forthcoming ness and words..just words..kind words which is what we all need more of. I for one, wish to not be aggressive, but I shall never be passive either..my hearts in the right place, and to anyone who who thinks poorly of me(or said as much)., well, this is your right.
I'm choosing to be…a guesser, a laugher, a silly new mom who comes here for some escape but not to be lost.
I'm really aspiring to lkeeping things light here, and apologize to anyone(if I haven't already) that feels I was…difficult. Cuz that really ain't me…Trust:)
This I won't delete..promise….
I 100% agree Tricia—I am just as guilty as some for being negative but I usually don't start it and just spend the whole time being defensive—I will try and keep your post in mind xoReplyCancel
More likely Grande and the bball player, Grande likes em grande and has no problem cheatingReplyCancel
oh and Tricia—you have NOTHING to apologise about —it is not your problem if people are perceiving you wrong—that usually entails they feel threatened and jealous (which is STUPID–we aren't all meeting for brunch tomorrow!)–you are humble smart and very kind–ReplyCancel
Tricia, you and I have had words before but it was never an attempt to bully. Honestly, I was trying to see if you had some tea to spill about a certain pint-sized Latina. But yeah, at the end of the day, it is just gossip peeps. Real life sucks enough without internet drama. We all go through something sometimes, squash the beef and make bbq.ReplyCancel
@ Derek..you know I appreciate that..it's kind…perception is reality to a lot of people so I let it slide off my back like water on a ducks arse…but support always great.
And@ Erica..it's good girl..you're super articulate..never bullied…I don't use that word too much..we sparred respectfully…it's totally good..wish I saw you more here actually…:) thx BTW:)ReplyCancel
well its you know who that started AGAIN on this thread for no reason—nothing had anything to do with her—-I am personally just ignoring her for now on even during her next tantrum–I personally advise all to do the same and maybe she will seek help for her um flawsReplyCancel
@Yoj: Thank you. Perfectly said. It still gives me the sads. I'm not seven FFS! And who gives a fuck anyways? The best part is that I still have no clue what other sites they are talking about, and it's probably best that way. CDaN is enough of a shit show.
No one likes to see their imaginary BFFs fight 🙁
It's been a good CHIN WAG, as always dear <3
Yay I'm glad this post turned back around to peace, love and KUMBAYA! That's how it was intended, and Crass would have wanted it that way. #cantwealljustgetalong?!
on a good note—my great city of Toronto is having a Bon Jovi album burning event! about damn time…ReplyCancel
Roxy music is my all time fave and bryan ferry the standard to which I hold all men..alas…where are the Ferrys of my generation…but my man and I almost named our girl Avalon..(kinda wished I did)
And I've seen him live several times and he keeps getting better….
Ah " my only love"….
Ps to all RM fans…just released this week on spotify is digital remixes of Love is the drug( with Parov Stellar) amongst other songs….check it out
@BM—I have no desire even to lurk there anymore–Kat summed it up pretty nicely in the Charles Manson blind—still luv ya though xo
@Tricia–I saw him tour solo doing old fashioned songs from the 20s and I saw Roxy Music as well!!!! I looove them—I love there slow disco jams of their latter late 70s but also love when Bryan Eno was in the band (first 3 albums). My fav song of theirs has to be Don't Stop the Dance thoughReplyCancel
oMG we are split at birth..
I saw them when they rejoined to gig..saw him solo for (boys n girls tour)…u nailed it…70'sromantic glam…so lost today in the music world..:(
My fave baby making song is windswept …so keep it in mind next time you take a bath…alone or with someone:))))ReplyCancel
ewhh lol but ok xo
I am 30 and NO one my age digs Roxy Music not even "Hipsters" or whatever —their loss!
Their loss
What's your email..I'll send link
Ps..hipsters will be listening to them when Paps Blue Ribbon starts getting served in wine bar, awesome tapas places, and medi/Euro boîtes that play more than this(why oh why was it remade), dance away..and my Bryan's solo masterpiece..slave to love
I may be back on later–if not talk soon everyone xoReplyCancel
Wow, after reading all that I do not miss being a forum admin/mod. The site itself was a lot of fun but the different cliques and rampant aliases from multiple members was a headache!! It was a good learning experience though and even though the site is no longer around I still to this day am friends with many of the members, most of who by now I have met IRL many times. It sucks that y'all had to go thru that. I can't think of a single person here that I've ever "had words" with. But I only started commenting earlier this year, and even that is sporadic. I enjoy pretty much everyone who comments regularly here.ReplyCancel
We heart you too, @ROSE!ReplyCancel
@Tricia the biopic was a bit shit I am very sorry to say…I taped it and got thru half of the first ep and had to stop 🙁
@pip Derek hasn't been banned from talking to anyone
Guys, let's leave all this business behind I am not sure why some people keep picking at this scab but Bookie Wook is just another site where people gather to talk about all sorts of crap but NEVER about other people (unless they are celebs, natch).
We chat about cooking, our pets, snark TV shows/movies whilst watching them simultaneously , crap we are going thru in our lives…sometimes it's interesting sometimes it's boring JUST…LIKE…HERE.
All are welcome only two rules: be nice to each other and no talking about people who are not celebs…simples!
Now for my fave: Peace out Biatches!ReplyCancel
Oh LowKey!!! get over here, YOU!!!ReplyCancel
Wow, lots of drama around here today. Nobody asked, but to me Riven comes across a lot like my SIL and I have a hard time with that. That is, someone who always manages to find a fight but it's ALWAYS somebody else who starts things, not her, she was just sitting there all innocent-like! Derek, if you can learn to smile, shake your head, type your response and then DELETE IT, you can avoid being the designated Bad Guy. 🙂ReplyCancel
Awwww but you're FABULOUS! 🙁
Have I LEFT you out, TRICIABOO?
I give you three! <3
I am not allowed to apologize anymore, as per Rosie's request 😉
But HERE are some bouncies for Riveter's concern!
Late to the show, and I'm not a regular commenter, but I am a long time reader…I just have to say I am glad TTM is gone…she is one of the reasons I stopped commenting and visiting the site.
Also Riven is annoying, and deleting incorrect guesses is annoying.
Play nicely, children.ReplyCancel
Yeah. Go-go boots, the stupid hair, and the eyelashes. It won't be long before the creepiness is palpable to all, and I think she'll be finished.ReplyCancel
Well I just lurk mostly maybe commented 3 times before, so I don't have anything at stake nor do I know anyone involved in this drama even as cyber-characters. What I am good at is pattern recognition. I did see the drama posts Lady H linked to. I can say I noticed riven standing up for what she (sorry if I got gender wrong) perceived as bullying. Perhaps riven has issues but Derek if you're at all a kind person that wants to contribute some good to this messed up world we live in, that in itself is enough to lay off. What you said about laying off adderall is not cool for example. You don't know others' medical history and should not judge like that. Its not just about riven either, there are many many more readers than commenters. Just in this post alone you called someone else weird or cabbage patch looking. Again uncalled for. Why say negative things about appearance at all when we know so many people have issues with body image. So that's what I will say, I am a stranger and you don't have to take my advice but your friend Tricia said some similar things above. It wouldn't hurt you to put a break on the insults. I did notice you do mention peoples personal attributes when you're mad or irritated in a lot of posts, and that's just not kind, whether it's their mental illness, gender identity, or how they look. And all those people saying to riven to toughen up and not expect anything different from comments on the web from strangers but it's not just about riven. There are many readers who may be sensitive, lonely, or disabled so they spend time online and for them this kind of attitude is disruptive. I'm just saying why not let it go even if you're convinced you're right. I am older and have been through so much that your comments don't bother me personally even though sometimes the attribute you're making fun of or pointing out in an unkind manner applies to me – I don't care but I can envision younger people or weaker people going through a rough time at the moment may be affected negatively. I hope you guys can think about that too, it's not just about riven overreacting (I don't know that she is, I don't follow the convo every day, but just long enough to notice some patterns about the talkative commenters – so Derek, I hope you think about this a little at least, though of course you can ignore the 2 cents of some stranger. I just wanted to suggest being kinder as I have been through a lot in my life and I came to the conclusion that if we can make the world a bit less hostile by holding back at times, at least not make it worse, why not.ReplyCancel
@Kittyhawk High Fucking 5! I am one of those disabled, pretty lonely and depressed people that spend a lot of time online. And I'm not that old (at least I've been told 38 isn't old). I've got one good hand and it's not my natural side, half of my brain fried itself and to top off the stuff the stroke caused me those troubles, I need both my knees replaced (but no way I can afford that even with insurance). I never really complain when people say stuff to or about me because I too start my share of shit. But I want to go on record and say that I never say any of the "mean" stuff I say with a straight face. I'm never really serious (except when it comes to blinds about kids or the things I do for them like the 4th of July, Easter, dressing as Super Heroes and going to the hospital to visit them (I have to load up on pain meds to do it, but it's worth it. I stop for a few days before so I have a few extra to take those mornings), those type of things, then I'm dead serious), you know the old saying "If you're not laughing you'd be crying"? That's me in a nutshell.
We ALL need to chill and quit taking shit so fucking seriously. It's a damn gossip site. We're supposed to be making fun of NBC for giving Jimmy Fallon a talk show or wondering how the hell movies like "Let's Be Cops" get's made, not bitching and talking shit about other people on the site.
(Deleted previous comment because I left off the words "those troubles" which made the sentence read "…the stroke that caused me." Completely different without those two words lolReplyCancel
Way belated–but am directing a psychic "YES!" to Kittyhawk. Logorrhea follows… x[
Re, the "Book Club Affair"
If a commenter finds the atmosphere welcoming enough to share some personal stuff, it's refreshing to see the supportive remarks that often result. What is NOT refreshing is to see such bright people form cliques like 11-yr-olds, sneer at one another, take sides when someone throws a hissy fit, & even push buttons to revive a flagging cyberdrama.
It's embarrassing when adults direct mean ad hominem/feminam remarks at one another (even if your mom didn't save your 5th-grade Diary… Tho I still suspect forgery, re-reading it was educational ;). Personal insults, cross-commenting about 3rd parties, etc, all pollute the communal well.
See, most of us humans DO tend to be "thin-skinned" when insulted by name. Some fly off the handle right away; others try to be Mature, & suppress irritation or hurt… And a few days/a week later, odds are some trigger (calculated or thoughtless) will reheat the injured parties' anger.
If the issue wasn't resolved, it is hard not to blow off some steam in passive-aggressive comments. The exchange of insults & rebukes resurfaces; someone provides exposition; & then, we're visited by that worst of all evils in the realm of entertainment: a f*cking sequel.
After reading thru in hope of a resolution, only to see the combatants exit in a huff–& a dissatisfying epilogue by a chorus of remaining commenters, who critique the fight & fighters–it's time for a CDAN Holiday. Within a week, tho, the imbecilic, illiterate, & revoltingly offensive comments on other sites drive me back here–to the shameless gossip-nerds, closet Lit grads, on-set/behind scenes folk, genial perverts (TGI–FFF! ;), Fierce Grammar Crusaders, & fellow nutters on CDAN.
Maybe, next time a string threatens to revive the latest mud-wrestling match, I'll imitate the wiser commenters by shutting the !@{$#% window & moving on. ;-]ReplyCancel

Robert Miller was waiting to get into a nightclub one evening when a bouncer told him the Yankees fitted hat he was wearing was against the dress code. Then he had a revelation.
"He was disappointed about that, but having an ingenious mind, he meditated on it and thought, 'What can I do to overcome this?'" says Greg Shainman, Miller's business partner. "He still wanted to wear hats out, but the traditional baseball cap wasn't allowed."
Thirty-somethings Shainman and Miller came up with something beyond the traditional. They started a business in 2008 with the idea of taking a baseball hat template and adding stylistic features to make it more appropriate for formal occasions.
In 2010 they had a breakthrough: They were awarded a patent for their FeatherFitted cap, the signature product of their business, FashionFitted LLC.
"This is a new genre of hat, and it takes the sort of basic baseball style hat and uses some certain design elements, wraps a band around that hat and puts a feather in there," Shainman says. "It was considered by the government a new style of hat that had never been created before. We want to revolutionize the hat-wearing experience for people."
For Miller, the hat was a success. When he returned to the club that had banned his baseball hat, the bouncer called for the owner to see if the FeatherFitted hat would be all right in the club. The owner loved it, Shainman says, and Miller was allowed in.
"We want to transform the casual hat into a dressier and more formal-looking hat," Shainman says.
The partners, who work with a tailor, Erdogan Kapaligi, at Marketplace mall, have many of the hats on display at their store, where shoppers can choose which they like. But Shainman says the real idea behind FashionFitted is that customers get to design the hats themselves.
"We're about empowering customers, so they can pick out the hat color and customize it themselves," Shainman says. "We're not like regular baseball hats, but they can pick the colors of their favorite team if they want something different than a traditional team hat."
The result is a hat that can fit in a formal occasion like a wedding, something that Shainman says "wouldn't look incongruent on a suit or with jeans and a shirt."
Shainman envisions the FeatherFitted cap ushering in a new era of hats, as Curtis Mayfield did in the 1970s or James Cagney in an earlier time.
"Those were things that resonated throughout different cultures, and we want to help bring that back," Shainman says.
The store already has been successful in bringing in a variety of customers, he says. Though the hat is styled more toward male fashion, he has seen women and people of all ages and backgrounds buy it.
Though Shainman says the store is still too new to the Marketplace to determine annual revenue, he notes that customer traffic is picking up and expects the store to be increasingly popular as the holiday season approaches.
Customers also can buy the hats online at FashionFitted's website, with the FeatherFitted cap listed for $99.99.
Shainman says he believes the store will become more of a destination than a place where mall visitors just drop in.
"With how people can customize and create their own hats, we can be like Build-A-Bear for hats," Shainman says. "We want the store to be something that people drive to the mall to do, to be excited about going to design their own hat."
Shainman and Miller, FashionFitted's sole employees, believe they have a product that will set them apart, for the first time offering a formal option for people who love baseball hats.
"Even if people want to wear this casually, this is something that's more about fashion than anything the dominant players in the baseball hat market are offering," Shainman says. "They're mainly going for the sports-oriented market, but ours is more about fashion."

|In response to Re: FLOODED BASEMENT-AGAIN!
: Woke up after a hard rain and found the basement flooded, again. We have one floor drain downstairs, but the water wasn't coming up from their. The water seemed to be coming in around the floor near the walls. Their is several large puddles in the middle of the room, am wondering if these are old floor drains that were capped when remodling was done, Should these be open? Also have heard about a breathing tube located on the roof, should this be cleaned out when the sewers are snaked out?
Robin, you may need perimiter drain tile installed in your basement floor to catch the water caused by heavy rains.Have a construction company look the job over and see if they can give you some ideas as to what to do to elimate this problem. Dale's Plumbing Service Inc LMP

Senior Ryne Roper struck out nine and didn't allow a Murphysboro runner to reach second base in Harrisburg's 5-0 conference opening win over the Red Devils Monday afternoon.
It was the second complete game of the season for the Bulldog right hander. His fourth win on the mound got Harrisburg back in the win column after suffering its first loss of the year last Saturday against Pleasant Plains.
Roper led off the bottom of the first with a triple and then scored three batters later on a wild pitch.
The Bulldogs (8-1, 1-0 SIRR Ohio) then tacked on an unearned run off Murphysboro starter Cody Wills in the home half of the fourth.
Following a bloop hit from sophomore third baseman Matthew Phipps, Sykes Thompson reached on an error that allowed pinch runner Braxton Keasler to score.
Phipps got his first start in the Harrisburg order while freshman Noah Vallette got the nod in right field.
"There are some guys that I want to see," Harrisburg coach Jay Thompson said. "We're still not settled in as to who is going to play where, and I thought (Matthew) Phipps played really well today."
The Bulldogs added another run in the fifth when senior Cody Hall scored on a wild pitch. Hall and Roper each finished with two hits for HHS.
Harrisburg then got a couple of more insurance runs in the sixth thanks to a pair of Murphysboro (5-7, 0-1) errors.
Harrisburg designated hitter Brennan Street reached base three times, as did center fielder Justin Younger.
The Bulldogs travel to Massac County for another conference test on Tuesday before returning home to meet Herrin Thursday.
HHS is set to play one game Friday and another Saturday at Pleasant Plains. The team will play Urbana and Chillicothe IVC in the Springfield area this weekend.
Eldorado 4, Carrier Mills 0
Devin Aldridge helped out his own cause on the mound Monday as he came through with a two-run single in the fifth inning as Eldorado shut out Carrier Mills-Stonefort 4-0.
Aldridge picked up the win on the mound, going four innings and allowing just two hits, while striking out two and walking three.
Brennan Unthank replaced Aldridge and went two innings, striking out two and allowing just a hit.
Jordan Pilkington finished off the seventh, striking out two and walking one.
Josh Bailey took the tough luck loss for the Wildcats, as he picked up his first loss of the season. Bailey went the distance and allowed four runs on eight hits, while striking out three and walking three.
Eldorado's rally started when Pilkington drew a walk and was followed by Unthank reaching base via error. Aldridge then came through with his two-run single and it followed an RBI single by Dakota Prather. Adam Collier tacked on the fourth run when he scored off an error.

The 1994 Integra continues in the enviable tradition of its predecessor by providing a fully independent, 4-wheel double-wishbone suspension for a superb combination of sporty handling and excellent ride quality.
The objective was to provide the Integra driver with a vehicle that is responsive and comfortable in daily driving, yet with excellent cornering stability, good traction and stable behavior. To meet these requirements, the double-wishbone configuration has been refined and developed to provide even higher levels of steering precision, response and linearity.
Front Suspension
The components of the front suspension are an L-shaped lower control arm, an upper control arm, a coil-overshock absorber, a stabilizer bar and a performance rod. For the GS-R front suspension, the engineering team also specified the use of a shock tower bar and a stabilizer bar equipped with ball joints instead of rubber bushings. The tower bar ties together the tops of the front spring/damper assemblies.The performance rod is designed to act as an A-arm cross brace to enhance handling and precision and stiffen the front lower subframe. The tower bar and performance rod are designed to enhance rigidity and contribute to suspension precision.
In order to enhance stability under braking in both a straight line and while cornering, the L-shaped lower control arm has been equipped with specially tuned compliance bushings. These bushings allow the lower control arm to impart a toe-out condition on the front wheels. Allowing the wheels to toe out while braking in a corner enhances stability and allows the vehicle to track more precisely.
The engineering team has tailored the suspension to take the full benefit of negative scrub geometry, especially when braking on a split-friction surface. Under this condition, the suspension tends to maintain greater directional stability by countering the forces that would normally tend to steer the vehicle in the direction of the side with the lower traction coefficient. By balancing these forces, the Integra tends to brake with maximum stability.
Rear Suspension
The rear double-wishbone suspension components consist of upper and lower control arms, a trailing arm, a coil-over shock absorber and a stabilizer bar. Although the general configuration is similar to that in the 1993 Integra, it has undergone extensive refinement and development. All models of the Integra share the same rear suspension componentry and calibrations.
Suspension Tuning
Starting with the already excellent handling abilities and ride quality of the 1993 Integra, the engineering team focused on the areas of improving linearity, balancing oversteer and understeer characteristics to achieve more neutral handling, and providing the driver with high-quality feedback and enhanced traction. The spring/shock combination has been altered considerably in order to provide both a better ride and precise handling. For a smoother ride, the spring rates have been reduced 25% at the front and 15% at the rear. At the same time, the shock damping rates have increased and the shock uses a larger, 30 mm cylinder, compared to the 25 mm unit in the 1993 Integra. In addition, the shock absorber has been equipped with the exclusive progressive valve unit, which opens progressively in response to wheel loads. Most shock valves are designed to either open or close in response to vertical wheel loads. This system provides better ride quality along with excellent handling.
High-Rigidity Brake Calipers & Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
All Integra models feature 4-wheel disc brakes, with ventilated rotors at the front and are solid at the rear. For maximum rigidity of the braking system and to provide a shorter pedal stroke, new stronger front brake calipers were developed. These calipers are larger, stouter units that have a higher resistance to flexing and "spread" under severe braking conditions.
The 1994 Integra LS and GS-R use the latest-generation Acura ABS system. This system is lighter and even more efficient than before, reducing the amount of pedal kickback during ABS operation in situations such as hard braking.
Torque-Sensing Rotary Valve Steering Gear
The 1994 Integra features an innovative, power-assisted steering gear design that is lighter and more compact than conventional power steering systems. Instead of modulating power assistance to the steering rack in accordance with road speed, this system varies power assist by a combination of engine rpm and the amount of torque generated between the pavement and the tire. The advantage of this system is that it exercises more precise control over the amount of power assist provided. It also provides more linear steering with regard to lateral loads encountered while cornering.
Wheels and Tires
The Integra RS is equipped with P195/60 R14 85H All Season tires. The LS is equipped with Michelin XGT-H4 P195/60 R14 85H All Season tires. Both models are equipped with steel wheels and wheel covers. The GS-R features Michelin XGT-V4 195/55 R15 84V All Season tires mounted on lightweight aluminum alloy wheels. The tires for all models have been specifically developed to work in concert with the suspension calibrations, to provide excellent traction, stability, controllability and predictable handling behavior.

Another Wild Theory From Your dad (oO Your dad Oo):
How is Itachi leaving Sasuke alive making Itachi gain more power? What is he gonna pull a Naroku and absorb Sasuke to make himself(Itachi) stronger? That doesn't make sense. If he only wants to fight stronger people then he is in a organization full of stronger shinobi. If he wants to fight a strong(er) MS user, or sharingan user in general, he could have left his clan alive. I bet someone in his village had some evil thoughts or intentions. If Itachi were to leak out information of Madara's power, some would attempt to make themselves stronger. Just leaving Sasuke alive to fight a strong MS user is a dumb reason for all the events that happened during and after he slaughtered his clan.
I still think Itachi knows Sasuke's potential. He wants Sasuke to surpass himself so that Sasuke can defeat Madara (if Madara is alive.) Itachi must already know that he, himself, isn't stronger enough to defeat Madara alone. Maybe the secret to unlocking the sharingans full ability is to know what it feels like to have everything precious taken from you. That's why Itachi killed his clan and left Sasuke alive. That's why Itachi told Sasuke for him to become stronger he would need to kill his best friend.
Also, if Tobi infact Obito. The maybe Obito is a direct decendant of Madara. Or maybe it will be like Yu Yu Hakusho where there is a demon gene that will awaken within him(Obito; if it hasn't already) which will allow Madara to be reborn within Obito. Maybe that is why it seems Tobi has authority over Pein and maybe he really meant Madara's power is within him.

It's taken 44 years for Jerry Herman's troubled musical to get a British production, so don't think that the producers of Dear World are going to undersell it. "Four legends combine to make musical theatre history," runs the tagline — the said legends being Herman (Hello, Dolly!, La Cage aux Folles), Gillian Lynne (director, choreographer), Betty Buckley (radiant Broadway star) and Paul Nicholas (British star in a cameo role). And that sets you up for something a lot better than this beautifully sung, well-decorated, dramatically diabolical blend of fable, satire and romance.
Lynne's production looks good in this 300-seat theatre,

Have u ever had to leave in the middle of a work day? Not ideal for teachers... They said they are going to have to report it to my principal.
What would you have done?
This was lo's first injury (she is 7 months old)
This was lo's first injury (she is 7 months old)
Yes, I've left work in the middle of the day. The kids usually get sick at either 10amish or sometimes around 2pmish.
Did you call your DH? Sometimes they freak out more than they should. When DD (dear daughter) fell from the ottoman, DH (dear husband) kinda freaked out, but she was fine and I didn't come home. I told him to take her in (and call me) if she was very fussy, very sleepy, or not herself.
Mommy to DD (July 2009) and DS (Nov 2011)
Yes, of course. I think it all falls on how often it happens and how you handle it when it does. It sounds like you took the proper procedure and made sure your class was taken care of. If this is the first time it has happened, they should not make a big deal out of it.
Yes...I've had to do it several times. You've gotta do what you've gotta do.
ETA: If you are a teacher, and around kids all day (as is your principal), you would think he/she would know a thing or two about kids, and how when they are sick or hurt, there's not a whole lot you can do about it.
L-Wife to M(07/15/05), Momma to H (10/02/06) & E( 02/20/13)
Yup, had to do it a lot when my son was an infant. As a single mom, it all fell on me. Everything was a huge deal, when they are in day care at that age. You just do what you have to do & accpet the consequnences.
Single Mom
"A woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle." - Irina Dunn
I've left work in the middle of the day. Was your DH (dear husband) already with the baby?
Yes, I've done this multiple times between two kids. It happens. They're kids and they can't control when and if they get sick, get hurt, etc. It's part of being a parent and I would hope other adults, who are most likely parents or have been parents themselves, would understand that.
Jennifer Married to Chad 10/5/2002
Camden ~ Nov '08 :: Zander ~ Sep '11 :: Kelso ~ 6/14/14
Yep, I have left in the middle of the day. I was a single mom for quite some time so whenever I got a call that DS (dear son) was sick and/or hurt I usually had to leave work... Not ideal but my kids come first so you have to do what you have to do.
JP Rainbow Puff
Mom to 2 wonderful children.
DS (March 2006) and DD (December 2011).
yes, when DD (dear daughter) gets sick at daycare I'm the closest person, so I have to go pick her up. It's never been a huge problem before, but I'm just waiting until it happens on a teaching day :/
She continues to give me grief about my 8 week maternity leave from march/ april

I LIKE them!
"I really like these boots! I found them to be VERY average (to slightly above average) as far as wearing comfortably. I wore them all day, on my feet & seated, no problem. They do have a sturdy hard sole as the manufactures name would suggest. I like that they run a bit big & I can fit my warm woolly socks under them! I have the Burnt Yellow which was true to the pic---a dark yellowish brown----very pretty for a Fall boot. My one BIG complaint is the beautiful dark brown leather SCUFFS at the slightest bump. I even treated mine with a sealent prior to wearing them. Very disappointing! =( Other wise I really like them---comfort, style, color, unique.....overall a great fall boot!"

Very Disappointing
"I thought these boots looked really cute online but once I received them in the mail I was disappointed. The upper canvas part of the boot was baggy and slouchy on my calves and the yellowish color looked very unappealing. Overall, they looked more like rain boots than riding boots. I returned them and got a few pairs of shoes I liked much better."

Pretty simple, and for those of you who have been around the blocks, I'm sure you've come across threads like this before.
Here's how it goes:
• Say a show you watched, or manga you read.
• Say what you expected it to be like, usually relating to other shows / manga as comparisons
• Say what you got. Simple, easy, and entertaining.
What I watched: Neon Genesis Evangelion
What I expected: A sci-fi mech anime with rich characters, deep plot with symbolism, and psychological issues
What I got: all of the above, yet the entirety of the cast is infuriating and unlikeable to the point of a LOT.

How do you have patients take care of their incisions? I usually tell them that it is okay to shower (no tub baths) the day after surgery. I encourage the use of soap and water. I think it helps keep the incision clean. It also encourages them to move. There are exceptions to this--skin grafts, hand surgeries, etc--where they are told to keep the dressing clean and dry.
I read an article recently regarding this basic premise of postop wound care and how it affects the sutures used for wound closure. The article was by Raghu Athre, M.D., of the Department of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery at Southwestern Medical Center, University of Texas, Dallas. The study was suggested by an observation in postsurgical patients after they had undergone surgical treatment for head and/or neck cancer.
Owing to the equivalent scar profile of absorbable suture and permanent suture, and the ability of the surgeon to conserve time and minimize patient anxiety by using absorbable suture, most surgical patients have the superficial layer of their surgical wounds closed with 5-0 fast-absorbing gut suture. The main criterion for this decision is surgeon preference. At 1-week follow-up, a subset of these patients show dehiscence of the most superficial layer of skin closure. The superficial epidermis pulls apart, and no evidence of the fast-absorbing gut sutures can be found. The separated wound closes by secondary intention over the ensuing 3 to 4 weeks without significant complications. Extensive questioning of these patients reveals that most of them used hydrogen peroxide to clean their wounds postoperatively. The question of whether hydrogen peroxide affects the tensile strength of fast-absorbing gut sutures by increasing its degradation rate became the focus of this study.
So he and his team conducted a laboratory study comparing the tensile strength of nylon, polypropylene and fast-absorbing gut sutures. In the study, each suture type was treated with either three percent hydrogen peroxide or water for a period of five days, emulating wound care following a surgery. Then an In-Spec 2200 bench-top tester was used to assess the maximum tension that the sutures could bear prior to breaking. The results:
On preliminary visual examination, nylon and polypropylene sutures did not appear to be affected by either water or hydrogen peroxide. Both groups of suture samples retained their shape, color, and general feel when handled. The fast-absorbing gut suture, however, was different. The fast-absorbing gut suture subjected to water did not appear to be affected compared with control suture. The fast-absorbing gut suture subjected to hydrogen peroxide rinses completely disintegrated during handling. It could not hold any tension at all, and in 1 case, the hydrogen peroxide–treated suture had completely degraded; the only thing left behind was the needle.
Creating a cosmetically appealing scar that does not affect form and function is one of the important endpoints of a surgical procedure. Complications such as wound infection, wound dehiscence, hypertrophic scarring and contractures may all result from improper closure techniques, improper wound-care regimens — as well as patient factors such as nutritional status and medical comorbidities.
Many standard superficial wound-care regimens include water, soapy water, antibiotic ointments (neosporin, bacitracin, bactroban, etc), hydrogen peroxide and Dakin's solution, or any combination of these. Patients are very likely to use hydrogen peroxide unless told not to do so. We surgeons need to give specific instructions to patients for home care. [This could also be said about any physician who repairs lacerations, etc.] We may want to strongly advise them to avoid use hydrogen peroxide, and to select saline or soap and water for wound cleaning instead.
The results of this study underscore the importance of the agents used in wound care following a surgery. Hydrogen peroxide should be avoided as a superficial wound-care regimen where fast-absorbing gut sutures are used.

We asked followers if Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who admitted to smoking crack during a "drunken stupor," should step down. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:
If U.S. politicos who acted stupidly stepped down, the halls of Congress would be almost empty.
— @rob17bob
Rob Ford probably shouldn't have been elected in the first place, but he's indicative of the type person who can be elected if he or she spends enough!
— @tab91787
Kick him out. For some things in life, you only get one chance. This mayor blew it.
— @Jdanson1
I like Ford's honesty. I just wish he could get honest and surrender to his problem with alcohol.
— @rattman422
He is another politician only owning up when evidence is indisputable. Liars need to go!
— @hbwx
So what if he smoked crack a couple of times? What about daily excessive alcohol consumption?
— @Bud_R_Fly
Why are people surprised? He is a politician.
— @galenlessard
Letter to the editor:
Honesty is always the best policy, especially when you've been caught in the act, as was Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. A video showed him smoking crack cocaine.
Ford's denying the allegations when the video initially surfaced in May only made him look like a liar. His admission that he had smoked crack cocaine during a drunken stupor leads me to believe that the man may have a substance abuse problem.
While we can score one for Ford's fessing up, he could take a tip from Kenny Rogers. "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em." Yes indeed, it's time to resign.
