HasManyFileManager: New CMS module/extension. Testers/review needed
2 August 2008 at 11:13pm Last edited: 3 August 2008 10:38pm
Hello Forum
I'm currently working on two websites, where i'm in need for a FormField that allows me to attach multiple Images/Files to a SiteTree instance. The last time i encountered this problem, i solved it like described in this post: http://www.silverstripe.com/site-builders-forum/flat/5853 (creating a folder for every page and put files in there).
However, this solution doesn't satisfy my needs and lacks a possibility to easily sort the items attached to a Page. Therefore i decided to write my own custom FormField for my needs.
I think the module (or CMS extension) has now reached a stage where i can show it to you and let you comment and test it.
Since this is my first extension to the SilverStripe CMS and i'm not yet quite familiar with all the concepts and possibilities of the framework, the code may seem rather "hackish" here and there
That's why i'm posting this here. To get as many feedback and testers as possible!
Please note: This is a beta release at best. Use it in a productive environment at your own risk!
- Download the filemanager.zip
- Unzip to <your_site_directory>/filemanager
- Run /db/build?flush=1
That should be all. When you enter the CMS, you'll have a new page type named "File Page". Create a new File Page. You should have two additional tabs named "Files" and "Images" in the CMS. Now you can add Files to these tabs. These items then "belong" to this Page.
Items can be sorted using Drag'n'Drop.
Have a look at the code/FilePage.php File to see an example of how to add the HasManyFileManager FormField to your own Pages.
This module has been tested in Safari3 (mac), Firefox3 (mac), IE7 (win), IE6 (win). In IE6 there's a bug when dragging items (weird offset).
And here's a screenshot how this looks in the CMS.
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks for reading.
Edit: fixed formatting...
Edit: Ouch. File attachement didn't seem to work.
Edit: Fixed some bugs. New sources to be found here: filemanager_0.2.zip

This looks awesome.
It would be even better if you could add this onto any type of page type, instead of just a FilePage, so you could pretty much use it like a standard FormField in the CMS or even a form on the front end (possibly a lot more work to achieve this?). Alternatively even attaching it onto 'Page' using the DataObjectDecorator by default could be an option? This would mean you'd get the added benefit of being able to attach multiple images to already existing standard pages.
It would mean you'd need to move those methods you've currently made on FilePage over to HasManyFileManager, e.g. "deleteAttached" and "Files" - or, it's possible they could go on the decorator class instead if they don't fit on HasManyFileManager.
Nice work on it though, you appear to have touched on the more advanced concepts of SilverStripe, like the DataObjectDecorator, as seen with AttachedFile, so it's nice to see a solid implementation of it!

Hi Sean
Thanks for the Reply.
You're right, i'll modify the FormField to make it work on any Type of Page inside the CMS. That was actually my intention
Is it possible to have a onBeforeDelete method on a FormField, and will it be called when the parent SiteTree element is being deleted? Or how would you implement said methods?

Very good point. I don't know enough about the DataObjectDecorator to understand if that you call delete() on it's owner class it knows about/calls onBeforeDelete() on the decorator class. I guess you'd also need to call $this->owner instead of $this on the decorator if that works.
And as for the FormField class, I don't believe it's possible to implement a check for deletion of it's SiteTree parent, because it doesn't have the responsibility to do so.
Perhaps you could try adding onBeforeDelete() to your decorator, and see if it's called when you delete an instance of the decorated class?
Re: HasManyFileManager: New CMS module/extension. Testers/review needed
4 August 2008 at 8:14pm
Allright. Thanks!
I'll look into it and post here what i come up with.
Re: HasManyFileManager: New CMS module/extension. Testers/review needed
5 August 2008 at 12:28am
I considered the input from Sean and modified my code accordingly. Some Bugs have been eliminated too.
Get the latest sources: filemanager_0.3.zip
Sadly, a onBeforeDelete Method on a Decorator doesn't apply to or overrides a existing implementation in the decorated class. That's why i now created a new Decorator for the SiteTree Object which adds 2 methods to any SiteTree instance. These two methods are:
AttachedFiles A method you can call inside your Templates. Let's assume you have a HasManyFileManager FormField in your Page Class and you "named" it "MyImages". Now you could add the following Code to the Page.ss template to output files attached to the MyImages HasManyFileManager.
<% control AttachedFiles(MyImages) %>
... item output. for example $CroppedImage(100,100)
<% end_control %>
deleteAttachedFiles Delete all files attached to this SiteTree instance. You are encouraged to add a call to this Method inside your Pages onBeforeDelete method.
Example (in Page.php)
public function onBeforeDelete(){
/** @see SiteTreeFileHandler.php */
These changes make it quite simple to add the HasManyFileManager to your own Page Classes. Here's a very basic example for a custom Page that has a ManyFileManager. Let's call it ImagePage.php
class ImagePage extends Page
static $has_many = array(
'Images' => 'Image'
public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$manager = new HasManyFileManager(
'MyImages', // name -> will be used for file grouping
'Images' // relation name defined in $has_many
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Images', $manager);
return $fields;
public function onBeforeDelete(){
/** @see SiteTreeFileHandler.php */
That's all. Now you can add Images to this Page and output them as described above.
Please note, that there is still a FilePage.php Class inside the filemanager/code Directory. You can safely delete it, it's just there for demonstration purposes.

Hi Banal,
That is an awesome piece of work you did !
I'm currently using your module in 1 of our projects , it works like a charm !
Thank you for that ...
I think this could very well be integrated into the main CMS system (without being a separate module) !

Hi Fuzz10
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it's useful to you!
It still has some quirks i wasn't yet able to resolve to my satisfaction. Mainly because the SilverStripe Image Class has some bugs, or let's call it "room for improvements".
When you upload different files, but with the same Filename, the mini-thumbnails get messed up. The creation of folders and putting files into the right directory doesn't work as expected too... i filed that in the BugTracker.
As of now, it works quite nicely here but i had to modify the Image Class (ss core).
Of course it would be awesome, if the SilverStripe Team decides to put this "module" into a future release ;)

A traffic stop last month ended in the arrest of a Lancaster man on multiple charges, including attempted murder.
Christian Angel Pagan, 20, 2389 Mackey Road, was charged July 19 with attempted murder, burglary, third offense simple possession of marijuana and possession of a schedule IV controlled substance, according to multiple Lancaster Police Department incident reports.

South Carolina's efforts to repair and replace deficient bridges have improved by $50 million due to recent funding, but still, one in five of the state's bridges remain substandard, according to a report released July 30 by AAA Carolinas.
The S.C. Department of Transportation is responsible for more than 9,200 bridges of which 1,828 are considered substandard, the release said.
A series of emails spanning six months of talks between Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. President Keith Tunnell and I-77 Alliance Chairman Dr. Britt Blackwell shed light on the events surrounding Lancaster County's rejection from membership in the alliance.

KERSHAW – Andrew Jackson High School senior guard Dareisha Sowell returned to her prep alma mater for one final shining moment Friday, Aug. 8.

On several recent occasions you may have heard pundits or public officials claim that South Carolina has gotten rid of Common Core.
The implication is that the state has retaken power from the federal government over education policy. There's some truth in that, and it's certainly encouraging to see some state officials moving in that direction, but to claim South Carolina has regained sovereignty over its academic standards would be – unfortunately – far from the truth.
Nearly eight months after a "destroyed" State Ethics Commission letter was provided to The Nerve, the longtime director of the state ethics-watchdog agency still won't explain how the letter exists despite his earlier statements to the contrary.
But in a written response July 18 to The Nerve, Herb Hayden said a pending lawsuit against him and the Ethics Commission in connection with the letter in question has nothing to do with a new media policy announced at a recent commission meeting.
Bobby Spanjer and Mike Scruggs, two HOPE (Helping Other People Effectively) in Lancaster volunteers, love stocking staples on shelves at agency's food pantry but earlier this week, there was nothing to stock.

Make 6.4% Off This TV Channel Going Private
Mike is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Temecula, California-based Outdoor Channel Holdings (NASDAQ: OUTD) is currently slated to merge with newly-formed sports media outfit InterMedia Outdoor Holdings. Known as "IMOH," InterMedia Outdoor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York-based InterMedia Group that will be re-formed as a new company once the deal has been finalized. Although multiple potential lawsuits threaten to delay or derail the deal, it is currently expected to close in January of 2013.
As a result of the proposed transaction, Outdoor Channel shareholders may elect to receive either $8 in cash per common share or one common share of the new company. The deal has a total value of slightly more than $200 million. Its terms assume that roughly 60 percent of Outdoor Channel shareholders will elect to take the cash offer. These terms were first made public in a press release issued on Nov. 15, 2012.
The $8-per-share offering price represents an 11 percent premium to Outdoor Channel's Nov. 12 closing price of $7.19 per share. The price of the stock has since appreciated to about $7.52, so the return if bought today would be 6.4%. The sizable spread between the current stock price and the offering price is indicative of the uncertainty surrounding the pending legal actions that may yet derail the merger. Once the deal has closed, IMOH is likely to receive a listing on the NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol "IMOH."
The proposed merger also involved a special dividend of $0.25 per share. The dividend was paid out on Dec. 7, 2012 to all shareholders of record on the second-to-last trading day of November. After factoring in this one-time payment, the total premium on the deal for pre-announcement shareholders is roughly 15 percent.
The deal is being financed by an investment consortium that includes CIT Communications. It is expected that individual retail stockholders will own slightly less than 33 percent of the combined company. The bulk of the rest will remain in the hands of its executive team, as well as several institutional shareholders that currently have interests in InterMedia Group.
Outdoor Channel Holdings is a niche media company that provides outdoor sports programming and aerial camera services. It contracts with cable and satellite television providers to show programming for its proprietary Outdoor Channel.
It also operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries. One of these is responsible for creating much of the original programming that appears on the Outdoor Channel. The other operates aerial camera arrays for its Outdoor Channel programming as well as regional sporting events in the West Coast region. Together, the three components of Outdoor Channel Holdings employ about 180 people. In 2011, the company earned $2.1 million on gross revenues of $75 million.
The Outdoor Channel competes with other sports and adventure media companies such as Discovery Communications (NASDAQ: DISCA). Discovery runs nine network channels, including the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and TLC. Discovery's numbers are far superior to the Outdoor Channel's numbers, especially when you look at their return on assets. Discovery returns about 9.5%, while the Outdoor Channel returns about 3%. Discovery looks a lot more like other large network television producers like Viacom (NASDAQ: VIA). Viacom produces channels such as MTV, VH1, and Comedy Central. Discovery definitely beat these companies in the market, though, with a 50%+ return for 2012.
InterMedia Outdoors is a more diversified media company that owns over a dozen magazine properties, the Sportsman Channel, the popular In-Fisherman radio show, and a budding digital media array. Its magazine properties include Florida Sportsman, Guns & Ammo, and North American Whitetail. Its digital assets include an e-store and multiple apps designed to appeal to serious outdoor sports enthusiasts.
The pending deal will cause a significant management shakeup at both companies. The Outdoor Channel's current CEO and CFO will assume their respective positions at the helm of the newly-formed company. Meanwhile, the Sportsman Channel's CEO will become head of InterMedia Outdoor Holdings's broadcast division. InterMedia Group's current CEO will head the new company's digital media, publishing and branding operations.
Widespread concerns about the deal have made it somewhat unattractive for average investors. Several different law firms have launched preliminary investigations into allegedly collusive activities between the management teams of Outdoor Channel and InterMedia Group. The organization of a formal class for further legal action may soon follow.
The root of the dispute is the InterMedia's perceived undervaluing of Outdoor Channel. Several financial analysts have set price targets for Outdoor Channel at more than $8 per share. In particular, the firms heading the investigation allege that Outdoor Channel failed to confer with a range of interested buyers before agreeing to be taken over by InterMedia Group. Although such action is fairly common after unexpected merger announcements, it does appear that Outdoor Channel accepted a relatively low offer without publicly courting other suitors.
The disruptive potential of these legal rumblings remains unclear. If the threat of legal action causes CIT to withdraw its support for the deal, the merger's financing could be in serious jeopardy. At the very least, this would delay the deal until new financing could be procured. At this time, it is unclear whether Outdoor Channel has other interested buyers.

From: Today
Your own tastes even better.
From: Kitchen Hero: HomeCooked
Vietnam is all about incredible street food and when I visited the country, this was one of my favourite dishes to eat on a plastic stool at a roadside pop-up vendor. It's a feast of smoky pork skewers, wrapped in lettuce leaves with fresh herbs and dipped in a salty sweet sauce. Barbecue the pork to get the essential smoky element of South East Asian cooking, but a griddle pan will also work. The classic version uses pork belly to form little pork patties, but this is a quicker variation.
From: Kitchen Hero: HomeCooked
There is something altogether soothing about this recipe. The usual heat you'd expect from an Asian-inspired recipe bows out to make way for the more aromatic and fragrant coriander, lime zest and lemongrass, which is wrapped together by a creamy coconut broth. You could replace the chicken with prawns or sturdy vegetables like sweet potato.

From: Kitchen Hero: HomeCooked
Rice noodles are a fantastic store cupboard ingredient and I regularly stock up at Asian markets, where you can also buy jumbo-sized bottles of Asian staples like fish sauce, soy sauce, and so much more. This dish is possibly one of the most famous Thai dishes and appears on menus throughout the world. Rightfully so: it's a speedy dish full of deep layers of sweet and aromatic flavours.

This pork recipe is also an ideal way of using up pork on a BBQ.
Trying to keep a healthy diet is hard, especially if the canteen at work or college tempts you with its smell of greasy chips or fried chicken. (don't get me started on the chocolate and crisps at the counter!) In this situation, you have to be strong! Its super hard though, I totally understand. So how do we shatter these temptations and ward off those cheeky chips cravings? Simple, fast and healthy food that is whipped up in no time at home and is chok-a-blok full of taste, that's how! Here is one of my favourite packed lunches, a Buckwheat noodle based cold dish. It is super healthy and delicious. It will make your colleagues a little envious!

Various subfields within philosophy study the methods of other disciplines, e.g., biology, to determine the distinctive and successful methodologies within that field. However, philosophy also has (hopefully) successful methodologies—both unique to philosophy and shared with science. In this reading group, we hope to delve deeper into the merits of different methodological approaches to philosophy, often by using particular debates in metaphysics as a case study. We will also discuss the merits and demerits of experimental philosophy, the relation between philosophy and work produced in other disciplines, and the effects of ethical knowledge on moral behavior. If you often wonder what you're doing when you're doing philosophy, then this is the reading group for you!
Here's a tentative schedule:
1/27: Robert Brandom - "Reason, Expression, and the Philosophic Enterprise"
2/10: Antti Kauppinen - "The Rise and Fall of Experimental Philosophy"
2/24: Eric Schwitzgebel and Fiery Cushman – "Expertise in Moral Reasoning?"
3/10: L.A. Paul – "A New Role for Experimental Work in Metaphysics"
3/24: Karen Bennett - "Construction Area (No Hard Hat Required)"
4/7: David Chalmers - "Ontological Anti-Realism"
The first meeting of this group will be Sunday, January 27 from 2-4 at Java Monkey (425 Church Street, Decatur, GA 30030), a coffee shop across the street from the Decatur Marta station (east on the Blue Line from campus).
Email Morgan Thompson (firstname.lastname@example.com) to be put on the philosophical methodology reading group email list (through which you will receive PDFs of the readings for each meeting).
States have, throughout history, identified certain ways of living as being good for their citizens and attempted to promote those ways. Those ways of life (or conceptions of the good) are normally promoted by states through laws and policies that impose some restrictions on how people can act and what life choices they can make (among others). The education system is also used to inculcate in people values and character traits that are conducive to those conceptions of the good. But looking at the vast and persistent disagreement about what the good life constitutes, we might wonder: is the state justified in favoring some conception of the good over another? If so, why, and which conception(s) of the good should be favored? In this reading group, we will examine this issue by reading papers arguing for state promotion of some conception of the good (perfectionism) and against it (anti-perfectionism).
Here is the tentative reading list (Most of the readings are taken from the anthology Perfectionism and Neutrality, edited by Steven Wall and George Klosko):
1. The Morality of Freedom, selections, by Joseph Raz
2. Perfectionist Liberalism and Political Liberalism, by Martha Nussbaum
3. The Structure of Perfectionist Toleration, by Steven Wall
4. Political Liberalism, selections, by John Rawls, and Political Liberalism, by Charles Larmore
5. Equality, Liberty and Perfectionism, by Vinit Haksar
6. Liberal Neutrality: A Compelling and Radical Principle, by Gerald F. Gaus
We will meet fortnightly, starting from week 3, on Fridays, at 1pm. The meetings will be held at Saxby's, which is located on the first floor of GSU Libary North. Email Chetan Cetty (email@example.com) to be added to the mailing list for this group (through which you will receive PDFs of the readings for each meeting).
Hegel's Aesthetics is an important, under-appreciated part of Hegel's philosophy and of philosophical aesthetics generally. Much attention, often harshly critical, has been paid to the so-called 'end of art thesis,' Hegel's contentious claim that "art, considered in its highest vocation, is and remains for us a thing of the past." This bold turn of phrase, however, belies a nuanced appreciation of modern art and its role in meaningful life. Even Heidegger, who was skeptical of the work's most famous sentences, called it "the final and greatest aesthetics in the Western tradition." It contains thoughtful readings of diverse artistic practices and a compelling general account of art's functions in modernity. Further, it is essential for anyone interested in the history of aesthetics. Hegel responds directly and implicitly to Winckelmann, Schiller, and Kant; later, the likes of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Adorno, and Danto would join the ongoing conversation.
If any of this piques your interest, please join us in discussing the Aesthetics this spring. We'll normally meet in the philosophy department's smaller seminar room (at 34 Peachtree) on Mondays at 2 PM. For specific readings and meeting details, please email Carson Monetti (firstname.lastname@example.com) or request access to our Google Drive folder, which includes an updated schedule and other useful documents.

XBRL International Calls for Global Working Group to Define Standards for Corporate Actions Reporting
Goal to Reduce Costs and Enable Straight Through Processing On A Global Scale
The XBRL International Standards Board (XSB) has issued a call to financial regulators and listed company filers to form a global "Corporate Actions Working Group" to define XBRL taxonomies for standardizing the transmission and consumption of corporate actions events allowing straight through processing through the world's financial systems.
Information about the working group is available at. Individuals with the following interests and expertise are strongly encouraged to visit http://xbrl.org/ca-wg and express their interest in participating by filling out the available online form.
- Corporate Actions Product Management
- Corporate Actions Business Analysis
- Corporate Actions Technology
- Corporate Actions Operations production and consumption
- XBRL and ISO 20022 standards
- Data intermediaries
- Investors/consumers of corporate actions messages
This project will build on the work initiated by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), SWIFT and XBRL US in 2009 that resulted in development of a draft taxonomy and business plan.
The mission of the XBRL Corporate Actions Working Group will be to define a global standard for corporate actions documents that can be tagged at origination by the issuer or the issuers agent and allow straight through processing of this information to the security holder, tightly integrated with relevant ISO20022 messages.
"The standardized reporting of corporate actions data will eliminate many of the costs associated with manual entry, reconciliation and operational errors that plague institutions that must use corporate actions data, " said John Turner, CEO of XBRL International.Development in a newly formed working group would build upon the American Depositary Receipt (ADR) pilot project conducted in the United States that standardizes the communication of corporate action information originating from Depositary receipt issuers such as BNY Mellon, Citi, JP Morgan, and redistributors such as GlobeTax.
Corporate actions are events that impact shareholders or debt holders of a company, such as stock splits, reverse splits, dividends, stock dividends, share buy backs, mergers, exchanges, name changes, etc. The distribution of such information has traditionally occurred via a press release issued by the company or a filing submitted to securities regulators, made available to processors and investors in a format that is not computer-readable. Transforming these messages into XBRL-format eliminates the need to rekey the data, thereby improving timeliness, accuracy and functionality of the information.
Over the last two years the XBRL community has worked on prototype taxonomies to standardize corporate action events modeled on US requirements. The Corporate Actions Working Group would be formed as an XBRL International Working Group to develop a truly global taxonomy that integrates with other international standards such as ISO 20022.
Transformation Rules Registry Version 3 Released as Candidate Recommendation
Improved Internationalisation for Inline XBRL
Version 3 of the Transformation Rules Registry (TRR) has been released as a Candidate Recommendation, bringing improved support for international dates and currencies to Inline XBRL. The registry defines how strings that appear in Inline XBRL documents are converted to the formats required by the tags in an XBRL document. This release adds support for Danish and Indian date formats, Indian numeric formats, and formats for increased flexibility in the representation of dates of Inline XBRL documents.
This new release of the registry is in response to requirements from around the globe and reflects the growing international adoption of Inline XBRL. Feedback on implementations are requested and may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Candidate Recommendation" is an indication that the specification now meets all identified requirements, and is ready for implementation in software.
TAGTF Releases First Public Draft of Taxonomy Guidance
The Taxonomy Architecture Guidance Task Force is seeking public comment on a new resource for the XBRL community – The XBRL Taxonomy Guidance Document. The document gives analysis and guidance on select taxonomy aspects that were chosen to cover a cross section of the challenges that taxonomy architects face, including the architectural choices for filing programs, data modelling and the application of taxonomy architecture features. Comment must be received by 5 June 2014.
XII Appoints New Members to the XBRL Standards Board
(30 April 2014) – The XII Board of Directors has named five new individuals to the XBRL Standards Board (XSB). The XSB is charged with the oversight of the XBRL Standards making process and is drawn from leading members of the technical community. The Standards Board has significant independence in its actions, and creates and sets the direction of technical Working Groups comprised of experts in specific fields and that develops or maintains individual XBRL specifications. Learn more about XBRL Specifications at http://specifications.xbrl.org
The new members of the XSB are:
- David Bell, EMEA Technology Director, RRDonnelly
- Philip Engel, Data Architect & Technologist, XBRL US
- Masatomo Goto, Manager, Fujitsu Labs EU
- Haiko Philip, Manager, Bearing Point
- Susan Yount, Director of Reporting Standards, WebFilings
"These new members bring a dynamic and valuable knowledge set to the XSB that will be put to very good use as we move to enhance and improve XBRL," said John Turner, XII CEO. "We are grateful to the new members and all the individuals who sought positions on the XSB and look forward to their ongoing contributions".
Newly appointed members will serve an initial one year term with effect from 6th May 2014.
Table Linkbase Spec Published as a Recommendation
The XBRL Standards Board and the Rendering Working Group are pleased to announce the publication of the Table Linkbase specification as a Recommendation.
The Table Linkbase specification represents an important and powerful addition to the XBRL specification stack, enabling template-style presentation and data collection of complex, highly dimensional data modelled in XBRL.
Recommendation is the final status of the XBRL International standards process, and indicates that the specification is stable, and is considered suitable for broad adoption and implementation
The Table Linkbase specification, and supporting conformance suite can be found on the XBRL Specification Site.
Call for Implementations - Extensible Enumerations 1.0
The XBRL Standards Board (XSB) is pleased to announce that, at the request of the Base Spec Working Group, the Extensible Enumerations 1.0 specification has been approved as a Candidate Recommendation (CR).
A Call for Implementations is being issued at this time with the minimum response period ending on February 28th.
The Extensible Enumerations specification allows taxonomy authors to define enumerated lists in a manner that allows the list to be added to by extension taxonomies, and which allows labels for the enumeration items to be provided in multiple languages.
The Extensible Enumerations specification uses domain member networks, previously used for dimensions, to constrain the allowed values for primary reporting concepts.
The Specification as well as the conformance suite can be found on the xbrl.org website at http://xbrl.org/SpecCRs or at the following location directly:
Specification: http://xbrl.org/Specification/ext-enumeration/CR-2013-12-18/ext-enumeration-CR-2013-12-18.html
Implementations and feedback are requested and should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com

Vernon (AP) - Police in Connecticut have canceled a multistate Amber Alert after three missing boys were found safe in Maine with their mother, who was taken into custody.
Authorities say the boys and their mother, 32-year-old Jackie Morris, were found Tuesday morning at a motel in Bangor, Maine.
Police say the boys, 9-year-old Ryan Lewis and 7-year-old twins Dylan and Brandan Lewis, live with their father in Vernon, Connecticut, and Morris has visitation rights. Their father, Jason Lewis, called police Monday night after Morris failed to return the children from a weekend visit.
Authorities are returning the boys to their father. Morris faces possible criminal charges.
Police had said they were concerned for the children's safety. Morris' relatives told police she had a history of mental health problems.

Portland management is foolish, they waited so long that it told him "we don't really want you but as a plan #5 we will try to put a good face on this for the fans", if they really wanted him he should have been given an offer as soon aqs Hibbert fell through.

Lee pitches gem, Phillies get first win
Cliff Lee gave the Phillies exactly what they hadn't received in either of the first two games of the 2013 season–an outstanding performance by a starting pitcher.
After Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay each turned in disappointing starts in Atlanta, Lee made sure the Phils (1-2) didn't head north for their home opener without a victory under their belts.
The Phillies beat Atlanta Thursday night, 2-0.
Lee was dominant over eight scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and striking out eight Braves batters. He had excellent command in the game, allowing no walks against a free-swinging Braves lineup that had put up a total of 16 runs in the first two games of the series.
The Phillies produced the only offense they would need on the night in the second inning.
Ben Revere drove in the game's first run on an RBI groundout. Chase Utley followed two batters later with an RBI sac fly.
Jimmy Rollins went 2 for 4 on the night.
The Phillies play Kansas City in their home opener today. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05.

Kelty Red Cloud 6650
4-star: 4
3-star: 2
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
A big hauler when going big is the only option I have…
Design: Top-loading with panels
Size: 6650 ci
Max. Load Carried: 45lbs
Height of Owner: 5' 10"
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $180
A big hauler when going big is the only option
- External pockets allow access
- Belt pockets for small items
- Conventional styling and compartments make packing simple for seasoned hikers
- Durable
- Mesh bottle pouches have holes after several years
- Metak zipper pulls need cut off
I have climbed Mt Adams and used this pack for most of the summer on other multi-day hikes this year and so far I am satisfied. Most of my trips are on trails in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in the Central Cascades. I have also removed the top pouch and cinched the compression straps down and used it on short hikes as well with success.
The suspension system is very comfortable even when I carry gear for myself and my kids. I can easily adjust the weight between my hips and shoulders during a hike as I see fit. There is a handle sewn into the back panel which is sturdy enough to be used for hauling the pack around when not being worn. Compared to my old Camptrails Omega external frame (or any external frame) it hugs my back nicely and keeps me balanced in deep, sloppy snow.
Storing an ice axe in the back loop would be easier it there was a dedicated strap for the upturned shaft. I still haven't found the perfect place to hang my crampons and helmet either. The stitching seems to be plenty durable and the belt will adjust to large enough for two of me (and I'm a tad fluffy). The external side pockets come with only single zippers which I am not used to but I think they were trying to save on weight. Once detached, the top portion makes a serviceable fannypack for summit trips if you only need a little gear. The pack is huge and holds more gear than I ever want to carry--so far.
My main gripe is that the water bottle pouches are too shallow and carabiners need to be used to hold them in during glissades. Saying that the little mesh pouches on the hip belt work perfectly for iodine tablets, lip balm, a lighter, folding knife, compass and the like. The sliding sternum strap is neat but it seems to always slide up to the highest position.
My favorite part is the price. It was on clearance from Campmor and it's a lot of pack for the money.
Update 8/2014: I just summitted Mt Rainier with this pack and it's still my go-to pack for kid hikes where I haul a LOT of gear.
I love this pack. I am a large guy in two directions…
Design: Internal
Max. Load Carried: 55lbs
Height of Owner: 6'
Price Paid: $169
I love this pack. I am a large guy in two directions and this pack fits me all the way around. I like the way it adjusts to the curves of my back and is able to adjust up and down to keep the lumbar pad in the lumbar area of my back.
It is a big pack. I like big. However, I do carry too much gear because it is big. My sleeping pad is 30 inches wide and I get the whole pad inside this bag.
I also like the fact that it has several small pockets on the sides to hold needed gear and interal pockets for maps and a water bladder.
I am quite satisfied with it. I have noticed that on shaky footing the pack seems to swing from side to side a bit, but I chalk that up to the size and the 55 pounds I had in it.
Good pack! I got this pack on a Campmor 1-day special…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $99
Good pack!
- Price
- Size
- Weight
- Zippers
I got this pack on a Campmor 1-day special for only $99. I've never regretted it.
It's big (and heavier than other packs I own)...which means I have to be careful that I don't over-pack, but I also don't have to worry about having enough room on those week-long trips.
The one con is the zippers. They easily jam, and forget about using them with gloves on. Still, as I'm only getting into the pack a few times a day, it's more of nuisance than a problem.
I probably wouldn't have paid $175 for this pack, but at $99, I got a steal! Keep an eye out for internet specials.
I have owned my pack for over a year and I never leave…
Size: 6650 cubic inches
Number of Pockets: 6
Max. Load Carried: 60 pounds
Height of Owner: 5' 10"
Price Paid: $184
I have owned my pack for over a year and I never leave home without it. I have hiked on trail and not on trail, I have climbed rock faces, I have never had a problem with the pack. It has plenty of room and its hydration compatibility is a major bonus. The weight is well balanced and stays close to your body.
I would recommend this pack to anyone who wants to do multi-day treks on/off trial and might have to do some climbing.
Overall this pack can carry the largest load you could…
Price Paid: $172
Overall this pack can carry the largest load you could possibly carry. I carried over 90 lbs of gear and tools to stake a remote property in Alaska.
On the first trip I had a chainsaw strapped to the side of this pack. The pack's internal aluminum frame bars needed constant tweaking and adjustments due to pressure points on my back. The zipper on one of the large side pockets didn't hold together and lost some gear during the hike home.
One of the plastic buckles that compresses the exterior of the pack snapped off while cinching down on the lower sleeping bag compartment. The shoulder straps are way too anemic compared to the cubic inches this pack holds. The shoulder straps were very uncomfortable with a heavy load.
After an entire season with this pack paddling and hiking hundreds of miles of remote Alaska I can say this pack is a decent buy. It is only comfortable with loads under 65 lbs. Because the price is great recommend replacing the plastic buckles with metal ones. I also recommend modifying the shoulder straps.

Design: top and front loading
Size: 6650
Number of Pockets: 5
Max. Load Carried: 65-70 lbs?
Height of Owner: 6'
Price Paid: $140
Being a Cub Scout Den Leader with two young sons of my own, I needed a massive load-hauler, even for overnights -- call me the "pack mule." The price of this pack was unbeatable--I found it on-line for sale at $140 delivered. It is loaded with features and can carry everything I need for my Den -- food, cooking gear, tent(s), first aid kit, etc., etc., etc. Pretty comfortable even with a giant load.
Extremely adjustable suspension. You will need to adjust the stays for the way you like to carry the pack; the first time I had it jammed up to about 65lbs, I had two preasure points at the waist where the stays were poking me; I adjusted them and had no problems on the next trip.
Pros: massive if you need it; lots of pockets/features; great price; good suspension; Kelty tough.
Cons: It is huge, but don't buy this unless you need a mega-pack and can fill it up. Heavy when empty. Could use an easier way to strap things to it vertically.
My first pack I bought. Happy with it but too damn…
My first pack I bought. Happy with it but too damn big. I don't need all that extra room.
For the money, this pack is an exceptional value.
Design: two large compartments with smaller pockets
Size: 6650 cu. in.
Number of Pockets: 5 with pockets in the pockets
Max. Load Carried: 46 pounds
Height of Owner: 5'9.5"
Price Paid: $172
For the money, this pack is an exceptional value. It has all the bells and whistles of more expensive packs and is very adjustable to create a custom fit. I've had it up to 46 pounds now on mountain hikes and it is very comfortable. At 6650 cu.in., it has the capacity to carry about anything and has a number of pockets to divide the gear. Very happy with my purchase.

Kinect Sells 1 Million Units in First Ten Days, On Pace to Hit 5 Million Unit Goal by Year's EndAccording to Microsoft, the Kinect hardware has "sold 1 million" units worldwide in the first ten days since the device launched. Microsoft announced Kinect's sales progress in a press release today and noted the hardware is on pace to hit its recently increased goal of selling five million units by year's end.
Available on November 4 for $150 in North America, the Kinect hardware is Microsoft's latest push into a more family-friendly gaming environment. Previously, the company had a halfhearted attempt with another camera, dubbed Xbox Vision. Kinect is also available in a number of console bundles.
"This is a great start to the holiday season," Microsoft's Don Mattrick was quoted in the release. "We will continue to work with our retailer partners to keep pace with high demand and deliver against our plan to sell more than 5 million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year." If you're thinking of jumping in, make sure to read the Shacknews review of the hardware.
For contrast, Sony's PlayStation Move hardware launched on September 17 and the company announced it had "shipped" one million PlayStation Move controllers in North and Latin America within the first 30 days since the hardware's launch.
Microsoft did not specify sales in any particular region. Kinect was released in Europe on November 10 and will arrive in Asia on November 18 and in Japan on November 20.

Let me start by saying how much I love this website!! It is so much easier to log food than Calorie Count.
PLEASE can you do something that will allow the use of ingredients from the My Foods section rather than just the general database? It is so frustrating to go to the effort of adding the ingredients that you would normally cook with, and KNOW that they are the correct info, with the measurements that you want to use... but you can't use them in a recipe!

Just search for the ingredient by the name you've stored it, the result that comes up withOUT the * (as seen on the website) is either a MFP entry or from MY FOODS on your account. As the * denotes entries from other MFP users. I just went to my recipes and searched for a "my food' as an ingredient... it was one of the first 3 results with that name. If it's on an app I'm not sure, I know they lack the * modifier.

Description: This paring knife is a perfect choice for detail tasks - from taking the eyes out of potatoes to removing the heads from tomatoes. The short, thin blade combines control and precision.
Each of Asai's Hayabusa knives is individually hand-forged beginning with an aogami super (blue super) carbon steel core (hagane). The smaller crystalline size of this carbon steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any other steel. Many knifemakers and users feel that aogami super is among the best carbon steels used on kitchen knives today. At 1.4-1.5% carbon and .3-.5% chromium, aogami super combines limited rust resistance with carbon steel performance. The central core is surrounded by two layers of stainless steel with a thin layer of nickel set in between to prevent carbon migration during forging. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and a higher level of corrosion resistance than pure carbon blades. In addition, it creates a unique, attractive visual line between the layers -- which gets all the more dramatic with use. The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance and has an extremely thin, keen edge for the highest performance. Because this knife is forged from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust.
The "Wa" style handle is octagon in shape and is sculpted from macassar ebony with a pakkawood ferrule. This natural, ambidextrous handle is easy to grip and lasts a lifetime. Octagonal handles are very popular among professional chefs because they are extremely comfortable even when used for hours at a time. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.

Core-competency or no, Apple can…Heh.
…take on and solve this problem with more clarity of purpose, less bureaucratic process and more money than the entire City.Apple might be able to run buses with more clarity and less overhead, but that's not the same thing as solving the problem. Public transportation (and government generally) needs to be fair more than it needs to be efficient, and private companies like Apple have no interest in fairness. Nor should they, they're private. The corporate shuttles are more than just transit, they function as rolling offices so employees do work on them. That means wi-fi, comfy seats, and ID checks at the door so you can talk about internal projects without competitors overhearing. Public transportation has other needs: running extended hours for workers, low costs, and reach into poorer and outlying neighborhoods.
San Francisco was not always a city where activists mattered. From the end of World War II until the 1970s, the growth of San Francisco reads like a hypothetical example made up to illustrate Molotch's (1976; 1979) growth-coalition theory. The downtown growth elites, led by some of the largest corporations in the United States, and organized as the Bay Area Council, were out to "Manhattanize" the downtown, and they succeeded. The basic plan, which followed the same script found for other cities that have been studied in any detail, was to accelerate the dispersion of industry to outlying areas, roust out nearby low-income neighborhoods, and remake the city as a financial and office center. The plan also turned the city into a convention and tourist center: the number of hotel rooms rose from 3,300 in 1959 to 9,000 in 1970 to 30,000 in 1999 (Hartman, 2002, p. 24).posted by rtha at 11:14 AM on January 31, 2013 [10 favorites]
While the Redevelopment Agency was taking shape in the late 1950s, an area-wide corporate group, the Bay Area Council, of which the San Francisco Planning and Urban Renewal Association was in effect a subcommittee, was making plans for the construction of a rapid transit system that would carry employees and customers to the city from all over the Bay Area (Whitt, 1982, Chapter 2). Corporate-backed planning and construction also began on major freeways that would criss-cross the city, impacting many different neighborhoods, some of them decidedly upscale. It was here that the growth coalition began to generate some serious opposition.
A proposed leg of the freeway that would have cut through middle- and upper-middle class neighborhoods as it moved along the shore of the San Francisco Bay to the Golden Gate Bridge was halted in its tracks in 1959 by a coalition of merchants and neighborhoods (#1 on map). This victory provided activists with a permanent reminder of their success because the already built portions of that freeway, high on large cement pillars, were not dismantled. In fact, Beitel (2004, p. 57) concludes that "the neighborhood movement in San Francisco emerged in response to this proposed extension." Roughly the same coalition, with some important new additions, then stopped an extension of the freeway in 1965 that would have plowed through a predominantly black neighborhood (the Western Addition, about which more below) as well as the famous Golden Gate Park. Some of these anti-freeway activists later became involved in the more general anti-growth, pro-neighborhood struggle that slowly emerged in the late 1960s and picked up steam in the 1970s. However, the leadership of the later movement was decidedly younger and more progressive than the anti-freeway groups.
The destruction of a black neighborhood
The original battles over urban renewal were fought in the Western Addition, not far from the downtown (#2 on map). The first part of this project started in 1962 and displaced approximately 4,000 people. There was relatively little protest because families who owned their homes were able to cash out and move to African American neighborhoods across the bay in Oakland and Richmond, while those who were renters relied on reassurances that there would be adequate relocation payments and help in finding housing of comparable cost. But by the time the second part of the project began in 1965, there was far greater resistance because it was now clear that those who were displaced would have to fend for themselves and most likely would be forced to pay higher rents in the growing black neighborhood at Hunter's Point, at the south end of the city (#3 on map). In addition, there were black and white civil rights activists who were ready to help defend the neighborhood. Moreover, they were initially supported by some union leaders, especially from those unions, like the longshoremen, that had a significant number of African American members.
However, in a microcosm of the nationwide divisions that mushroomed in the crucial years 1965 to 1967, the traditionally white unions in some labor sectors gradually sided with the growth coalition for a complicated set of reasons. Those reasons started with their desire to create more jobs for construction and hotel workers, but at the same time they involved the fact that white union members resented black activists who were demanding the integration of basically all-white unions as well as the assurance of jobs for African Americans on any redevelopment projects in their neighborhood. These deeply rooted schisms were widened by the growing union support for the Vietnam War at the same time that most African Americans were coming to oppose it in the name of greater attention to the many problems the country faced at home. (Recall that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s, opposition to the war made him persona non grata with the corporate moderates who had come to support the movement for civil rights.) From that point on, most unions -- led by the building trades unions and the restaurant, hotel, and bartenders' unions -- sided with the growth coalition on urban renewal in the name of "more jobs," while becoming more and more blatant in their unwillingness to desegregate their unions, thereby further embittering the African American community. The once powerful and militant longshoremen quietly stepped to the side.
While all this was going on, and the leadership of the local Democratic Party was appointing mainstream African Americans and trade union leaders to local government positions, another 10,000 people, mostly African American, were displaced from the Western Addition. Along the way, and crucially, the area's thriving retail and entertainment district was destroyed. Rather stunningly, most of the area then laid vacant for a quarter century, leading to further alienation and decline in the African American community:
The neighborhood once touted by residents as the "Harlem of the West Coast" was a shell of its former self. Gone were the jazz clubs, the night spots, small neighborhood retail shops, and church fronts that had once crowded along Fillmore street. Nor would any redevelopment in the razed commercial corridor along Fillmore Street be forthcoming, as the six square blocks in the center of the A-2 area would remain vacant for almost 25 years. San Francisco's black population, which had grown steadily between 1940 and 1970, would subsequently decline, and with it the political clout of the city's black leadership. (Beitel, 2004, p. 47)
To the degree that there was any redevelopment in the Western Addition after most of it had been razed, it was through highrise apartments, office buildings, and a Japanese Trade and Cultural Center in honor of the gradually disappearing Japanese-American neighborhood on the edge of the Western Addition. There was virtually no affordable housing included in the project. For those who wonder why African Americans used to call urban renewal "Negro removal," the story of the 14,000 people pushed out of the Western Addition drives the point home.

Hey Newgroundlers,
Here's our new New Year rocket exploder game, a real "fireworkout" session!
The gameplay is as simple as challenging:
Mark one or more(!) rockets with your mouse (these targets will be locked),
One click on your mouse button will blow up all locked rockets!
!!! The more rockets you explode the more points you will earn !!!
So, can you beat the high score?
hope you like this colorful spectacle,
Happy New Year Everyone!
edit: Thank you all for the feedback on this game!!! Sorry I didn't reply immediately but I was afk!
Anyway, all your suggestions are highly appreciated, we will try to grab some ideas for FireWorkOut2 which will be released next time and will be a lot bigger and will include more features :)
Thanks :D

I'm thinking this is ok because
The fireworks were pretty looking but the game ends so quickly, that the fun ends. But this at least better than Justin beiber singing baby, but this isnt as good as.. y'know, pizza. I'm not saying its bad. Its just boring after a while. Could you make it more realistic like a backround outside dark in real life? Better sound effects? Prettier looking fireworks? Just make it better. OK?

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) If you want the best auto insurance rates, you'll have to start building a credit history -- and then be responsible in handling your debt. That's according to Wallet-Hub, which says Wisconsin drivers without credit histories pay an average of 80-percent more for car insurance than those with the highest credit scores.
The consumer Web site says Wisconsin has the nation's 12th-highest price difference -- 15-percent more than the national gap of 65-percent. Back in 2008, the Wisconsin Senate passed a bill to ban the use of credit reports in setting premiums for auto-and-home insurance coverage. Democrats who ran the Senate at the time said auto rates should hinge only on how well people drive. The measure died in the Republican-controlled Assembly. The insurance industry defends the use of credit scores in setting coverage rates, saying those who are reckless with their credit are more likely to be more reckless on the road -- thus causing more accidents.
Wallet-Hub sides with the insurers, but it's concerned that too many rates are based on inaccurate credit reports. Wallet-Hub encourages people to take advantage of their ability to view free credit reports once a year.

Hair colour mousses
If you're nervous about DIY hair dye, the new crop of foam colourants might just tempt you to try it. Their puffy formulation means that the dye isn't liable to drip, and blending the colour all over is as easy as shampooing your hair. L'Oreal, Clairol and John Frieda all have great versions of mousse hair colour on shelves now.
Hair styling mousses
In the eighties, the drawback to mousse's volumising prowess was often crunchy curls or a hard texture on straight hair (think of those shellacked fringes). These days new formulas provide a lot more conditioning, so there's no crispiness. Sebastian's Whipped Creme is a cult product because of its smooth feel and the weightless definition and conditioning it offers. It's just been reformulated so that the can dispenses just the right amount of mousse at any angle.
When to use mousse? It's ideal to prep hair before blow-drying, helping you achieve a frizz-free, bouncy and smooth finish. It's also ideal for lightly coating wet (curly) hair before allowing it to dry naturally. Schwarzkopf education manager Grant Withnell recently gave us this tip: "The biggest mistake people make with styling products is putting in too little foundation product, such as mousse, and too much finishing product, such as hairspray. You get a much better and more natural result but putting on more product during styling, not afterwards." You heard the man - let's get moussing!
