Imitation: Flattery or a rip off?
Posted 27 December 2011 - 12:41 PM
in some cultures independent styles are frowned upon until one can demonstrate a mastery of the craft. "Mastery" meaning they can do it as well as the Masters.
Art students are a routine site in museums as they spend hours trying to learn/see/copy how others were able to capture the moment. So why should potters be exempt from trying to teach their hands / muscles / minds to execute a certain technique?
Dwight Holland has donated his huge pottery collection to East Carolina University on the condition that any pottery student can take any piece back to their work area so they can learn from it. Learn from it is the key. You can't really learn how it was done until you can actually do it yourself. Also, you don't appreciate how hard it is until you try.
Granted, you don't stay planted there ... you move on unless your chosen profession will be forgery.

Another comment I heard was from Paul Soldner was that he use a cast of his naval for his signature "because everyone's is different." We all touch clay with a unique impression. I agree with?ucille about teaching. You musts teach students the how-to and lead them to find their path.That is teaching. I find teaching in Texas to be interestingly different from Montana where I taught for 25 years. I find it teaching to a recipe of predetermined objectives. y new students who had previous teachers want to be told what to do. I told them they needs a body of work by the end of the semester after starting them off with a few problems. it is a different world down here than from way up North. both my students and I are working our way out together.

I really have enjoyed hand-building. I've given pieces as gifts and my friend even bought a couple last week when she needed some last minute Christmas gifts. They weren't anything spectacular.... certainly not a copy from the artist I was inspired by.... different forms, different uses and definitely different glazes.
I have to say that I have whole boards on Pintrest that are devoted to inspiring clay works. Sometimes, I'll try to connect with the artist.... maybe asking about a technique or a glaze. I NEVER EVER presume that THEIR process is somehow free for MY taking. It's not! One artist was very forthright in saying, "my processes are patented and images are copyrighted" so I never share the techniques. I respect that and I respect her for taking steps to protect what it is that she does and does so very well. There are, however, some people who are very willing to share and even WANT to give advise so that you don't have to spend years and years trying to overcome some obstacle that they've now figured out. I think of these folks as mentors. They WANT to share their knowledge and experience. These are the people who do "how to" vids for CAD, who give workshops at local studios, etc. They are putting themselves out there as a mentor, they're teaching their specific way of doing things-techniques, tools, etc. They say, "give it a try.... let me know how it turns out". They get satisfaction and joy from sharing.
I actually get offended when people say to me, "oh, you're so creative. There's not a creative bone in my body." Well, I actually do NOT think I'm creative. Not at all. I think I can look at a piece and figure out how it was made and maybe make an attempt to make something similar. But I am NOT creative. I don't innovate. I don't do anything that's new. Really, there are very few innovators in this world. I don't even call myself an artist.... artists are creative.... they create work that move people. I'm very utilitarian in my thinking. "If I make this, how might it be used?" I'm careful to not assign names to things if they're not specific use (like a butter dish, for instance). I know, the general public has a hard time working with something that doesn't have a label.... but I at least like to challenge folks to think in that direction. I gave one of my pieces as a gift on Christmas. I didn't say that I had intended the use to be. But the recipient immediately said, "ah, a spoon rest". Cool, SHE assigned a use to it .... it happened to be the same use I'd originally started with, but I'd have been perfectly ok if she'd have said, "ah, a ring dish".
Where am I going with this? I dunno. I guess I'd love it if truly innovative works and their artisans could be respected and allowed to have their moment in the sun. Let them collect their reward for creating something new and exciting. But if that same artist is going to put themselves out there and give workshops and create "how to" vids of their process, then who are we to judge if a student of that mentor goes on to do something that's even more amazing?

Teachers do not accuse their students of stealing. Teachers pass on what they know and love to do it.
We must have known different teachers. Some DO accuse their students of stealing.
I remember a very talented painting student in undergrad that had a painting that was in the year end show, spotlighted. Long story short he copied a painting exactly-his style, but same lighting, color, composition, even the technique. He was discovered by a visiting professor-the department was embarrassed, the professor was embarrassed the student was expelled. The idea was that given an assignment on a deadline he had cheated-everyone. Not the same as a student doing something in the same style as the teacher with a different composition, etc. In ceramics, I would see students try to create the same as the teacher-trying to throw loosely like Dontigny on the wheel for raku- disastrous! Others would try to create wall tiles like Stephenson-never the same and poorly planned. When does one move from student, to artist or potter? We have tried to answer this question in other strands. This "mimicry" strand is part of the answer. Another part is having the discipline to throw out a bad pot before it gets fired.

Close said he could tell who Serra was into at the time by the colors of paint that he had spattered on his clothes, and that they all did it; Richard Serra, Brice Marden, Nancy Graves, etc.
When Close met Willem DeKooning, he said "It's nice to meet someone that has painted more DeKoonings than I have!"
But then, as we all know, they took this information and used it to create art with their own voices, their own perspectives on life and art.
I think copying is natural and necessary, especially in the beginning, to "get your feet under you", so to speak. I go to the Art Institute of Chicago quite frequently, and there are usually a few students in there copying old master paintings VERBATIM, or as close as can be accomplished. They're soaking it all in of course, to be used later ina new and exciting way.
If you do NOT ever go on to create your own work, or just plagarize work as Pres related above, that you are a 'rip-off' as Lucille has suggested. I guess a lot of people just can't endure the time and effort it takes to find their voice and style, so they opt for a shorcut. They are really only shortcutting themselves and the art/craft world. The loss of a single creative person is a blow to all of us.

When I started to think about making peices other than thrown peices I headed to the Net to see what others have made. There I found things that drew me in and sparked my interest in a certain style or form.
Yes, I tried to copy those forms. However, it was with only marginal success...and while what i ended up kinda/sorta looked like the peice i was trying to emulate, it was quite a bit off the mark of a true "copy". As i did further peices in the same >style< I began to see that I was imparting my own thoughts/tangents/expression into the peice and was moving farther and farther away..not closer to..the original peice.
I also noticed that i couldn't/can't yet even copy my own work. LOL. Try as I might....same starting shapes....none of them were >exactly< the same.
maybe someday, huh? LOL.
thanks for the question

Spout placement is an interesting social construct possibly dividing east/west tea preferences. Reading Robin Hopper's Functional Pottery last night, I came across the idea that stronger English brewed -- not stewed -- tea likes to come from a teapot with the base of the spout set down the body. Now, am I going to have to label my teapots Western tea brewing or Eastern tea brewing? Perhaps even cite the best blend of teas to use in each pot. Now, there's a marketing idea!

I use teapots by Geoffrey Whiting -- deceased UK potter -- almost daily. When I recently wanted to throw a series of teapots with fresher shapes and shuck off some old lid/gallery ideas which I felt lacked proper craftsmanship...and, frankly, I could do better; I decided a tutorial was in order and placed a GW on the ware board beside me. His are thrown in porcelain, probably gloss fired to ^9/10. His lids are are beautifully set in and I had several aha! moments about spout placement and finishing the line from base of spout through the body. Are they just like Whiting's? I think not, but the tutorial has helped my teapots move forward.

I found the sweetest little book at the local library. It is called Victoria & Albert Museum Teapots in Pottery and Porcelain. Small Picture Book No.9
The approximate size of the booklet is 4"X7". It has 28 pictures all in black and white. Most of the teapots are 18th Century but there are a few from the 19th Century. There are plenty of ideas for you here. These potters are long gone they can't mind their pots being used as a 'tutorial'.

As for being copied, hey ho, if that's what someone needs to do let them get on with it, of course not if serious breach of copyright or intellectual property rights. I'm atheist but the saying 'Let Go and Let God' when it comes to those people helps me. Also, I learned it's best to get on with ideas than discuss them with others - collaboration is one thing, feeding the pigeons is another.

The Club's backing for its Ladies team shows that Arsenal are not against women in football, according to Arsène Wenger.
The issue of sexism within the game has dominated both front and back pages this week following remarks made by Sky presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray about a female official at Wolves.
Both men have since left their posts and Wenger was asked for his views when he faced the press on Friday. He pointed out that Arsenal are standard-bearers for women in football - the Ladies have won 33 major trophies in just 19 years.
"In fairness I didn't follow that story very well [but] nobody [here] is against women in football," he said.
"We have one of the most successful women's football teams. We've always encouraged that and I don't see any problem with it.
"The game is changing every day. That's life, life moves always forward and on the good side that is no problem."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Looking at a youtube video, yes, the falling leaf is pretty much what I do when I go snowboarding. I'm a bit more drastic than some of the videos showing a tutorial on it though - I move along until I'm going very fast, than do a sudden hard break and switch stances to keep my balance. I anger a lot of people this way by getting in front of them and then stopping suddenly
I suppose getting a private lesson would be the best thing to do. Since I have that issue, I'm probably harboring a lot of bad habits that need to be erased in order to improve.
With that said, I suppose I should find ways to take better care of my board before I go out again. Would waxing and sharpening the board be easy enough to do on my own?
Thanks a bunch David
I think one or two private or semi-private (no more than 3-4 people in the group) lessons would do wonders for you. From the sounds of it, you may still using the "falling leaf" technique to turning, which if an instructor taught you this, he should be shot. Otherwise, it is a common safety valve for beginners (especially self-taught beginners) to use this approach, but you'll never get better using it.
Now that you have lost some weight (50 lbs, is a lot of weight to lose, congratulations!) you should find snowboarding easier, as you would expect for any physical pursuit. This is because you're not carrying extra weight that is putting added stress on your bones & joints, and fatigue to your muscles.
Don't worry about hopping, jumping, terrain park or any of that. Get a lesson or two and learn or re-learn the basic fundamentals of controlling yourself on a board: j-turns, stopping in a controlled manner, then s-turns, then controlling your speed and linking turns.
When you're comfortable negotiating intermediate terrain, then you can worry about the terrain park and jumps and all that. But first make sure you got the basics under control.
Hey, what's going on?
Hello everybody,
My name's Joe. I've actually been snowboarding for about 6 years, but I'm still a terrible snowboarder. You see, I never tried to better my snowboarding skills at all, I just did my lessons the first year and went off with my friends in the ski program we have at our school. I've never attempted to hop, go to a terrain park, or even improve my balance, and it shows in the worst way.
I actually feel terrible for the people behind me. I'm bad enough that, when I break, I have to do a full-fledged stop and switch stances to keep my balance. I also have very little control over which direction I go to, and it causes a mess for the people around me, especially on early Friday nights when the place is packed.
Last summer, I made a commitment to myself to lose weight because I let myself become obese, and dropped 50 lbs by November. Now that I am much more physically fit, I took it upon myself to take my sports (Lacrosse, Rugby, and Snowboarding) a bit more seriously - replacing the time I spent playing video games with practice and exercise.
I know very little about snowboarding, a fact I realized from lurking around here. In fact, until yesterday I had no idea what "Camber" or "Rocker" even meant. I mean to change that; if I want to have a sport I should take it more seriously than I do now.
My current setup is a 2008 Burton Clash at 151 cm - given my height/weight I should be around the 156-159 range, but tbh I've never though about it until now. I've also kept the board in pretty poor condition since I lacked the knowledge on how to take proper care of it, and it shows from massive lesions and wax buildup on the base. Once the season's over, I'm going to get a 2013 model on sale for the following year and begin a paradigm-shift in the way I board.
If you guys have and advice for me or want to point me in the right direction, I'd be glad to hear it. I will be coming back more often to hear from the snowboarding world, which I hope to immerse myself in.

Technique, precision, aesthetics, passion – the classical golf attributes also fit in excellently with the Porsche philosophy.
By becoming involved in professional golf for the first time as the title partner of the Porsche European Open 2015, Porsche AG has added a pro event to its long-standing engagement in the amateur game. For the past 27 years, the world's most successful sports car manufacturer has been organising a global amateur tournament series – the Porsche Golf Cup – exclusively for customers. Last year, over 8,000 customers competed in 150 tournaments, played in 13 countries, for the coveted places in the second world final in Mallorca in May 2015.
The Porsche European Open, which was staged in 2015 at the Hartl Resort in Bad Griesbach, Germany from 24 to 27 September, provides customers and visitors additional special opportunities to experience the brand and fascination of Porsche. Alongside top class golf, guests can enjoy a colourful supporting programme of events or the outstanding hospitality. They also have the chance to acquaint themselves with Porsche products at first hand. For the professionals, the European Open, one of the oldest tournament titles on the European Tour, has a special place on their itineraries due to its long history and world renown.
At the premiere in 2015 of the 2 million Euro event played at Europe's biggest golf resort, more than 25,000 spectators followed the action live over the four days of the tournament. After a dramatic final round on the Beckenbauer Course, Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee, one of the best known Asian golfers, clinched the win ahead of top players like Jamie Donaldson, Charl Schwartzel, Graeme McDowell, Miguel Ángel Jiménez or Hunter Mahan. The leading German was the golf legend Bernhard Langer who finished in a tie for 24th place.
Alexander Levy has won the second edition of the Porsche European Open in Bad Griesbach. It took a play-off before the 26-year old wrapped up the win against the Englishman Ross Fisher. Three shots down on Levy and Fisher in a tie for third place were the two Swedes Michael Jonzon and Robert Karlsson (both -16). The best German in the field was Ryder Cup player Martin Kaymer (-14) who came sixth. A total of 35,300 spectators attended the tournament from 22 to 25 September, where 2 million Euro were at stake.
The next Porsche European Open will take place from 27 to 30 July 2017. Further information are available online at www.europeanopen.com.

I hear Cecil Peoples runs that course
I hear Cecil Peoples runs that course
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
i never told any of the medical staff before any of my fights about my eyesight, but I was never asked either, it was never a problem until I was accidentally poked in my good eye lol, they went mad with me after that for not telling them!
failing to prepare is preparing to fail
I'd say it depends on why the medical reason for the bad eye and whether it could made worse by fighting. If there's no medical reason why you can't fight you have to think then about whether you can fight properly with only one eye.

Hi justaces
With regards to fighting with poor eyesight in one eye, it's probably not to be recommended. The only governing body in MMA so far (SafeMMA) includes an eyesight check in the yearly medical, so unless you pass that by proving you have 6/6 vision in each eye (ie. good vision), you wouldn't be allowed to fight at SafeMMA sanctioned events.
Having said that, there are plenty of non-SafeMMA sanctioned events knocking about, and as said above, it's rare that any of the docs will check your eyesight in the pre-fight medicals. From your point-of-view it's a risk-benefit argument: Given that you'd be more likely to sustain (potentially serious) injuries due to poor eyesight, does that risk overcome your desire to fight?
My advice to you would depend on how bad your eyesight is, and what's caused it to deteriorate (ie. could it be made worse by fighting). If, as it sounds, it's bad enough that sports WITH a sanctioning body wouldn't let you fight, you probably shouldn't fight in MMA.

"Partially sighted in one eye, can I still fight"
Has two answers.
One you probably should not fight.
Two you can fight unfortunately the way things are.

"Visual acuity must be assessed separately for each eye by the Snellen method, WITHOUT contact lenses or spectacles being worn. Visual acuity which is worse than 6/12 in the better eye and/or worse than 6/24 in the poorer eye automatically renders a boxer unfit to box."
Will find out what the SafeMMA regulations state as at present, I only do ringside medicals, not yearly assessments.

Hi everyone. I got my new classical MOW jet pack yesterday. How does everybody attach there jet pack?
Does anybody know the website where I can get belting material like they use on backpacks? My old jet pack I used black belting material and a parachute buckle clip to attach it to my vest. Inside the jet pack was 2 sets of metal hooks that I threaded the belting material to hold it together.
Does anybody have another way to attach theirs? Thanks. :skull

real gear welder 140 mig
Does any one have this machine ,is it any good??
There is sure a lot to be desired with the warranty.
Limited 1 year/90 day warranty- One (1) Year, from the date of purchase, that the transformer and rectifiers are free of defects in material and workmanship. Ninety (90) Days, from the date of purchase, that the gun, liner, wire feed mechanism, welding clamps, electrode holder, cables and accessories packaged with the welder are free of defects in material and workmanship. This does not apply to consumable parts, tips, nozzles and welding wire.
You can buy a Hobart from TSC for another fifty bucks or so. It doesn't come with the cart and helmet and all the other crap that makes it seem like a good deal. Plus a lot better of a warranty. I would stay away from this welder.
If a product is good then their not scared to put a good warranty on it.
Can't go wrong with a miller, hobart, or lincoln. Not to say that others are worthless, but you take more of a chance.
Poor warranty and Chinese made. I would walk away. For the same $$$ you can buy the Auto Arc 130 which is made by Hobart and carries the same warranty that Hobart welders have. Here's the Auto Arc 130 for $327.21: (notice this one doesn't include the regulator and hose but is a true mig welder, not just flux core) Amazon $406.29 and TSC $399.99 (online only) has the Auto Arc with a regulator, cart and helmet.
The reviews are great for the welder, pretty bad for the cart (mainly screws don't hold well, but.....ya got a welder!) and, especially the cheap helmet, but a decent auto darkening helmet doesn't cost too much. These welders are warranted by, and parts and service are available from Hobart.
The Hobart Handler 140 has a very good reputation and can be bought for $499.99 at TSC. TSC also has the Hobart Handler 125 for $369.99.
In my opinion any of these, as well as others from Miller and Lincoln, would be a much better investment than a welder from China that would be hard, and probably impossible, to get service/parts for.
Mine works great.
I have a Lincoln Mig Pak 10 (90 amp wire feeder with FCAW and GMAW capability) that has been in my garage since 2001 and still works like a charm, absolutely great for light duty but found it was not hot enough for anything above 3/16 and when welding heavier materials it would shut down due to exceeding duty cycle if I were welding anything long like 6 inches or more at max setting.. I found one of these Real Gear 140 units in a local buy and sell for $250.00, it looked like new and was hardly used, original roll of hardwire was only 1/2 gone, problem was the guy who had wasn't a welder and didn't understand amperage requirement of this unit, it was running it on a 15amp circuit so he thought it was junk as it wouldn't weld very good for him, I tried the machine and found it running very cold but since it wasn't getting enough amperage to start with I took a chance and got it, it actually requires a dedicated min 20 amp 110V circuit to run properly which I have installed in my garage, I am very impressed so far, it is a Lincoln knock off and therefore uses all the Lincoln consumable parts like nozzles and tips, not sure about liners, or whips, I will try and swap my whip from my Lincoln and see if they are compatible. I have gone through 5 10lb rolls of .035 FCAW wire so far and this welder has only shut down once from exceeding the duty cycle, was welding a combination of steels from 1/8 up to 3/8 with no problems and great penetration. This welder came with a gas setup but I use it for FCAW all the time and now leave my Lincoln setup for GMAW all the time. Personally I like it but as stated these units are kinda like the old fords of the 60's and 70's, one is great and the next is a lemon, they are very reasonably priced. Good luck.
I have an old Hobart Handler 135 which they don't make anymore. LUV IT! Still does everything I need up to 3/8" and still 110v. The newer Handler 140, etc. are after Hobart was bought out and windings and such are not as they used to be back then. (This from the welder repair people, they say some other major welder MFG bought them, kept the name, and cheapened the lower end units to compete w/chinese, etc.). If I were buying today, I would look hard at Miller 175 for all around. When I got the Handler 135 I needed something to plug in to 110. Bob

Ive tried googling and searching this forum but to no avail.
I was recommended BT2, ran it from the live disc no problem. The tools aside I was very impressed with the look and feel of the interface. So I would like to use it as an OS.
I was tripple booting Ubuntu, XP and Vista.
I installed BT2, but then couldnt access any other OS, so I had to re-install Ubuntu.
Now when I boot up I have what used to be my Ubuntu grub screen, where I can choose Ubuntu, Windows(which then takes me XP or Vista screen) and bt(on /dev/sda8)
I can still load/use Ubuntu,XP and Vista. When I select the bt option it loads fine for a while then this happens:
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0
VFS: Cannot open root device "current" or unknown block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing
VFS: Unable to mount root fs an unknown block (10,0)
<6>Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed.
The boot freeze's there and I have to restart the computer.
I have only been using Ubuntu for a week and really dont like it so want BT to be my main OS if its possible, but still having a grub menu to choose XP and vista when I want it.
Sorry if this is beyond the real of the newbie forum. Please dont flame me for being a newbie. Any help will be appriciated, be it advice or links to check out.

The Chinese vendor Netcore is responsible for creating and selling a particular brand of routers under the name Netis with a root password that gives total access to their devices. While this may not seem like a large issue, it allows potential hackers to break into the unit and control different settings that can expose valuable information about the user.
The address 192.168.l.l ip address is commonly used to gain and view access to administration settings. However, even though 192.168.l.l is most common, your personal router address may be unique to your ISP. As a test, type in 192.168.l.l into your web browser and see if a router settings page pops up. If nothing happens using 192.168.l.l, use this guide to find more information.
After you've typed in 192.168.l.l, you will see a console that will allow you to view and access different settings for your router. From this point we can take certain precautions in order to protect our router and our private information. The first step is making sure our wireless connection is secured. Unfortunately, many internet service providers leave the wifi access password free and it's up to the user to create a secure connection. Make sure your password is long, uses both font case sizes and even symbols. This will prevent hackers from 'sniffing' out unsecured wifi connections.

A Lonely Voice Of Reason Stands Up To Fox's Smears Of Occupy Wall Street
During tonight's episode of Fox News' The Five, co-host Juan Williams repeatedly attempted to combat the off-the-wall smears of the Occupy Wall Street movement coming from his co-hosts.
First the hosts condemned Jesse Jackson for comparing the Occupy Wall Street movement to the Civil Rights movement. Greg Gutfeld described Jackson's comments as an example of "the usual suspects fading in relevance, salvaging careers, by exploiting class envy." Williams responded by saying that Jackson was "absolutely right" and pointed out that all great examples of social change in America had come about because of protests:
WILLIAMS: Yeah, he's absolutely right when you think about the idea that there's very little change in our country and any society without struggle, without people putting themselves out. You know, Dr. King used to talk about the idea of creative struggle, creative tension. That you would create situations with marches and protests and some cases even break the law. That's why King went to jail. You stop and think about things like the Vietnam War movement, you think about the feminist movement to get votes in this country.
When Gutfeld responded by calling Occupy Wall Street protesters "annoying," Williams retorted that if Gutfeld had been in Birmingham in the '60s, he would have labeled King a "northern agitator."
Bolling also claimed Occupy Wall Street had no "overall message, that's the problem." Williams had to add another dose of sanity to the discussion after that, pointing out that the overall concern of Occupy Wall Street is "income inequality" and that is a message that "a good number of Americans embrace."
Again, immediately after Williams finished his statement, he was attacked by his co-hosts for supporting violent people who, according to Gutfeld, are "reflective" of the overall movement.
Williams called out his fellow co-hosts for claiming that isolated events reflect the entire Occupy Wall Street movement:
WILLIAMS: I don't think those people are reflective of Occupy Wall Street movements all over this country. I mean Atlanta, Baltimore, it goes on and on. And you guys pick out one specific place with one specific -- and Kimberly talks about rapes and bad behavior as if you're condemning the whole movement.
Later, co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle then tried to claim that Occupy Wall Street is a socialist movement and Bolling attacked the movement for supporting income redistribution. Williams responded:
WILLIAMS: You guys say: "You know what, what's been going on in this country is just fine and dandy." [Co-host] Dana [Perino] rightly says we need to have changes, and Dana has her own set of prescriptions. We might disagree, but she has policy prescriptions. If these are folks who say, "let's have change; we're tired of the big guys who control the politicians, control Wall Street, looking out for themselves and screwing everybody else," you guys say: "Oh don't raise a fuss. Don't inconvenience us. Don't block traffic."
Gutfeld then interrupted to say Occupy Wall Street protesters should be more like the tea party who protested "peacefully with permits" adding "nobody got arrested, nobody got raped, nobody got assaulted."
Williams responded by pointing out the real reason why the other co-hosts were so eager to attack Occupy Wall Street:
WILLIAMS: The reasons you guys are so afraid of Occupy Wall Street is --
GUTFELD: Because they're violent.
WILLIAMS: -- because they have the power to change the national narrative and to elect not only Obama, but to elect Democrats in this country.
Bolling then claimed that Occupy Wall Street wanted to change the system away from capitalism. And Williams had to set him straight:
WILLIAMS: Nobody is suggesting there's anything better than capitalism.
BOLLING: No, they all are.
WILLIAMS: I'm a big capitalist. You're a capitalist, and those folks out there are capitalists.
BOLLING: Are not capitalists.
WILLIAMS: They are.
WILLIAMS: But let me tell you something. Those are capitalists. You know what?
BOLLING: Self-described non-capitalists.
WILLIAMS: Let me tell you something: There are some things like excesses to every structure. And when you have the bankers and the Wall Street guys gobbling at the trough like greedy pigs, then somebody should say something.
So, Fox again attempted to mock [1], smear [2], and vilify [3] the Occupy Wall Street protesters in an effort to continue pushing the network's political agenda. But at least this time, Williams was there to provide a dose of reality.

Oddly enough, I'm interested in WW2 history. Think it has to do with what would make a formerly great country become insane.
Besides that, though, I think we can all agree that it's better to de-militarize the world. We can start by pointing out the fetishization of weapons, and how it is psychologically destructive.

Posted by John Brand on June 17, 2013
Over the past 12 months, I've taken a number of client inquiries on globalization and multilingual strategies. But in all cases, it turned out that the challenge wasn't really providing multilingual support. Instead, organizations are struggling to meet demand among customers, suppliers, partners, regulators and others for direct access to core enterprise systems from multiple regions, often through mobile devices or pervasive web applications. So the real question is: How are user engagement strategies affecting our ability to achieve a single, global business and technology platform that supports the increasingly pervasive use of mobile technologies?
This is now a top-of-mind consideration for many companies, especially as emerging markets are an increasingly important part of their global business strategies. The challenge is how best to tailor and adapt their products and services to capitalize on these emerging market opportunities without losing the benefits of economies of scale and the requirements for global transparency and compliance. And it's not just about global IT service delivery; it's about how technology can now serve the unique needs of both internal and external users, particularly where major differences may exist across language, culture, law, infrastructure, geography, value systems, and the economy.

Jayne Ludlow believes that the disappointing Quarter Final exit in the Uefa Women's Cup can spur Arsenal Ladies to domestic success.
Ludlow scored a second-minute header in the first leg of their clash with Umea in November as the Ladies secured a 3-2 advantage at Boreham Wood. But Umea hit back on home soil, racking up a 6-0 victory in the return leg.
Speaking ahead of tonight's Women's League Cup Final against Doncaster at Glanford Park, the Welsh midfielder insisted that domestic success is the only way for her side to put the European disappointment behind them.
"As soon as we went out of Europe we had to make sure that we do win things domestically," the 30-year-old told Arsenal.com. "It's the first trophy of the season for us and it's always one that we look forward to if we get to the final.
"Of course any final is a big event for us so there's a lot of pressure on us to carry on our trophy-winning tradition. We're all looking forward to it and we can't wait.
"Our main focus is on playing well and hopefully by doing that we do get to finals and win things. That's no different this year and we've performed near our best and hopefully that can come to fruition in Scunthorpe."
If the prize of a tenth Women's League Cup isn't enough for Ludlow, then the possibility of reaching an incredible milestone is.
The ex-New York magic player sits just one goal away from 200 for Arsenal. And, for her, there's no better setting than a League Cup final to score it.
"I'm really hoping I can get one tomorrow night," she said. "It would be great, it's more important to win but if I can get a goal as well it would just make my night. It's a major milestone for me but I'll be happy if I can get it at any point in the season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Of course, I am talking about the MAN, MYTH and legend: Mr. George W Bush. He knows as much about running a football team as Millen (look no further then what he was able to do with the Rangers). Plus, Bush should have enough pull to get a bailout for the Fords (both the company) and the Lions (not many more loses before the state of Mi and the city of Detroit give up and stop watching/attending). Mark my words. LIONS 2009 GM... W.. and with the 1st pick in the NFL draft the LIONS re draft CHARLES ROGERS!! and with the 22nd pick from Dallas the Lions re draft Michael Williams..

Men's Soccer Finishes Homestand with 3-1 Win Over Viterbo
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) and Tyler Swanner (Glen Carbon, Ill.) connected twice in the match to help propel the Green Bay men's soccer team to a 3-1 win over Viterbo on Monday afternoon at Aldo Santaga Stadium.
The win maintains Green Bay's unbeaten record this season, 3-0-1, while Viterbo dropped to 1-4-0.
Controlling possession in the first half, Green Bay was able to outshoot Viterbo, 11-2, and went into halftime with a 2-0 advantage. Krenzien headed home the first goal of the match in the 18th minute, working through traffic on a set piece to find a feed from Swanner to put the Phoenix up, 1-0.
It was déjà vu on the second goal, as Swanner and Krenzien hooked up again to put the lead at 2-0. This time Swanner delivered a cross in to the goal box, where Krenzien collected the ball and dribbled through two defenders before tapping it in.
The second half saw the Phoenix put several scoring opportunities on the board, including a sequence of two corner kicks in the 65th and 66th minutes. Swanner took the first corner kick, and Defrim Ramushevski (South Milwaukee, Wis.) headed the ball on goal, as Viterbo's Luke Newton punched it over the net to set up another corner set piece. This time Sabastian Xiong (Cottage Grove, Wis.) took the kick and Tauren Greenidge (Bridgetown, Barbados) attempted to score, but his shot sailed high.
Green Bay added its final tally of the match in the 72nd minute. Xiong was dragged down in the box, setting up a penalty kick that he was able to convert extending the lead to 3-0.
Not to be deterred, the V-Hawks added their lone goal of the match in the 78th minute off a free kick conversion outside the box by Sam Renstrom.
For the match, Green Bay led in shots, 22-4, and corner kicks, 11-1. Dary DeWalt (Milwaukee, Wis.) made his first collegiate start and also picked up his first win, making one save in net.
The Phoenix returns to the pitch on Friday in game one of the NIU adidas Invite, hosted by Northern Illinois.

Phoenix Dealt 2-1 Setback in Rainy Battle with Milwaukee
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Two goals separated by only 11 seconds highlighted a wet and rainy Friday night at Aldo Santaga Stadium, but perennial Horizon League powerhouse Milwaukee (5-9-1, 4-2-0) was able to post a 2-1 road win over Green Bay (4-10-1, 1-3-1) in women's soccer action.
Milwaukee, tied at the top of the Horizon League standings in pursuit of at least a share of its 13th consecutive Horizon League regular season title, scored first when Krissy Dorre dribbled into the box and scored at the 7:40 mark of the opening half.
Just 11 seconds later, the Phoenix responded with the equalizer. Just after the kickoff, junior Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland) served the ball over the top of the Panther defense to leave senior Megan Braatz (Waukesha, Wis.) with a 1-on-1 with the keeper. Braatz beat Milwaukee keeper Jamie Forbes for her team-high fourth goal of the season.
Dorre scored again for the Panthers in the 30th minute, tallying her third goal of the season which proved to be the game-winner. Dorre's goal was assisted by Emily Scott and Kelly Lewers.
Green Bay had a great chance at the equalizer just over 10 minutes after halftime, when sophomore Hannah Kernen (Belleville, Wis.) got behind the Milwaukee defense and had a 1-on-1 with Forbes. Kernen's shot was barely deflected by Forbes and slid past the right crossbar.
Green Bay and Milwaukee each had seven shots in the first half and finished with 11 for the game. Phoenix head coach Trevor Warren was disappointed with the loss but proud of the way his team battled the Panthers evenly throughout the 90 minutes.
"I was very proud of the effort tonight against Milwaukee," said Warren. "It is the best we have played them during my five years as coach at Green Bay. "We obviously responded really well to their scoring early in the game with a nice goal from Megan, and we had two great chances on breakaways in the second half that on another night we may have scored to equalize or win the game. The fact that we ended tied in shots is a testament to how hard our girls played, and if we bring that intensity to the last two games there is no reason we can't get into the Horizon League Tournament.
Green Bay has two more regular season contests remaining as it fights to earn a spot in the Horizon League Championship. The Phoenix plays at Loyola on Wednesday at 5 p.m. before welcoming Valparaiso to Santaga Stadium for the regular season finale and Senior Day on Oct. 27 at 1 p.m.

Wingate wants his son back
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Former Colorado Springs Council member Charles Wingate said he doesn't think it will take too long to get his son back. That it is simply a matter of cleaning house.
The department of human services, however, said-- not so fast. Cases are different for every family.
DHS could not talk specifics about the Wingate family and their home, but it said the goal is always to reunify the family if that is the best thing for the child.
It's been almost a week since police entered the Wingate. What they said they found was hard to stomach—trash, human waste, and rodents. Among all of that - they said - was a naked 13-year-old boy with autism.
Wingate's son was taken by child protective services.
"There may be some dead rodents in the house. I don't know where they came from," said Wingate of his home.
Wingate said he felt he could just clean his home and get his son back, but cleaning a condemned home is more than washing dishes, or wiping down dirty counters.
"We are not talking about the minimal dirty home. The dirty home that you and I might think, 'Oh, I don't want my mother to come and visit me because my house looks like this,'" said Karen Logan with DHS.
Child Protective Services also uses special plans to check-in with families who have had their children taken away and then been reunited.
"Something has caused an issue that brought that home to the condition it was in, and that is what we need to make sure we are addressing, not just the condition of the home," said Logan.
The boy in this case is Autistic, but CSPD said he can speak, and that the boy said he couldn't remember being outside this home.
Wingate and his wife Sharon Starkey are facing misdemeanor child abuse charges, but are denying they forced the boy to stay inside.

FX drama 'The Bridge' renewed for a second season
EL PASO, Texas - FX drama "The Bridge," set in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez, will return for a second season of 13 episodes, the network announced on Tuesday.
The second season will air during summer 2014.
The second-to-last episode of the first season will air this Wednesday.
According to an FX news release, "The Bridge" is the No. 1 new scripted cable series launch of the summer in Adults 18-49. Season 1 is currently averaging 3.65 million total viewers and 1.68 million Adults 18-49. On a Live +7 basis, the show is jumping +89% in total viewers and +105% in Adults 18-49 vs. Live +Same Day.
Eric Schrier, President of Original Programming for FX Networks and FX Productions, said, "We've been blown away by the compelling performances of Demian Bichir and Diane Kruger and the writing of Meredith Stiehm, Elwood Reid and their team, and are thrilled to be able to continue this journey for another season. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Rich Ross, Carolyn Bernstein and everyone at Shine America."
Said Rich Ross, CEO, Shine America, "We're thrilled that viewers and critics alike have embraced Sonya Cross and Marco Ruiz and that our partners at FX are enthusiastically joining us for a continuation of the wild ride in season 2."
Before the first season even started airing in July, executive producer Elwood Reid told ABC-7 he already had ideas for season two and beyond.
"When we decided to set this down in Juarez and El Paso, immediately I knew – just reading the newspapers and the books I did a lot of research - you have season after season of material, which to me was an important thing because a lot of times you write things and you don't know where it's going to go past the pilot. Or past one or two episodes," Reid told ABC-7 this past summer. "But just setting the show down in Mexico on that border down there in El Paso just automatically I had season after season. Right now, the season we're working on, the first season, we will set up what the second season is going to be in the last couple of episodes. So you'll kind of get – we're going to resolve our primary mystery – which is who killed these people on the bridge and why. What does he want? And we're then going to sort of begin to introduce the next idea for next season. But it will not be following another 'serial killer.'"
The show's pilot was filmed in El Paso with the network ordering 13 episodes of the series. The TV show is based on the Danish/Swedish series "Bron," which was set on the border of Denmark and Sweden.

UK Gov't Prepares Ambitious Censorship Plan to Restrict Porn Access
Jason Mick
October 11, 2011 5:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"Would someone please think of the children!" UK officials argue
These days free adult entertainment is
just a click away
for most with internet access in the U.S. and Europe. Some argue that sexual liberation is a sign that society has at last overcome its shame over what is an essential biological function. Others argue it's a sign of moral degradation and a terrible corrupter of youth.
I. Britain Prepares to Disrobe Anit-Porn Plot
British Prime Minister David Cameron, leader of the UK's Conservative Party, is reportedly siding with those who argue that porn is a "nasty, bad, naughty" social apparatus. The UK-based
, the second most read English-language online newspaper in the world, is
that PM Cameron will announce plans to
whack unfettered access to porn off the net
The politican-cum-activist borrows his anti-porn agenda from a report by UK-based nonprofit
Mothers' Union
. As one might imagine this "moral conservative" group is upset about sexualization of society and hopes to return the nation to a more platonic, repressed era.
Elements of its proposed plan, which PM Cameron plans to put, at least partially, into law includes:
Age restrictions on music videos (akin to ESRB ratings on video games).
Bans or quotas on teen-aimed clothing with "sexually suggestive" messages.
A new website -- Parentport (to be launched at
) -- which allows parents to directly complain about internet content. Suggestions will be forwarded to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority, The BBC Trust, Ofcom, the Press Complaints Commission, British Board of Film Classification, and other censorship affiliated organization, which may opt to censor the internet comment, denying UK citizens access to it.
A mandatory opt in for adults to view pornographic content.
II. Replacing Parenting With Gov't Censorship
The mandatory opt-in is a particularly thorny issue. BT (
), Sky Broadband, TalkTalk (
) and Virgin Media, Inc. (
) -- some of the UK's largest ISPs -- have reportedly agreed to participate in such a scheme. It is unclear whether existing subscribers would be required to opt in, or merely new ones.
The plot is the culmination of years of lobbying by close colleague of PM Cameron, Conservative Member of Parliament Claire Perry. Ms. Perry, a mother of three, argues that parents should not have to put the effort in to police their childrens' internet use. Rather she feels that the government should thrust itself into the role of playing parent. She argues that censorship has
benefited many other aspects of British society
, and censoring internet porn fills an important hole in the nation's comprehensive censorship legislation.
Conservative Party MP Claire Perry [Source: BBC News]
, "As a mother with three children I know how difficult it is to keep children from seeing inappropriate material on the internet. We already successfully regulate British TV channels, cinema screens, High Street hoardings and newsagent shelves to stop children seeing inappropriate images and mobile phone companies are able to restrict access to adult material so why should the internet be any different?"
III. America Next?
The idea of America's former colonial master censoring the internet may seem offensive to many Americans, but some in America are making similar arguments in favor of beating back the sexually liberated nature of modern society.
Prominent Republican "Tea Party" politician Christine O'Donnell has long suggested that masturbation is a sin,
, "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust."
Prominent Republican "Tea Party" politician Christine O'Donnell has argued for banning sex ed in the U.S. [Source: Getty Images]
She supports banning sexual education in schools, suggesting it leads to children being sexually abused. She comments, "[Sex ed] breaks down the natural modesty that exists within children to protect them. Then suddenly talking to that stranger with candy on the playground is not so creepy."
And anti-pornography efforts have some support from corporate America. Late Apple, Inc. (
) executive Steve Jobs bragged of his crusade to
offer i-device owners "freedom from porn"
Clearly many fundamentalist U.S. Christian "moral conservatives", like their old world peers, feel that pornography is sinful. And many of these individuals have already effectively argued that the U.S. should be a theocracy, governed by Christian laws and politicians. Thus it might not be surprising to see moral conservatives in the States in the next few years follow in step with the Old World's anti-pornography crusade.
"I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it." -- Bungie Technical Lead Chris Butcher

GunnersGaming make Arsenal 4/11 to beat Southampton at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsène Wenger's side won 2-0 at Liverpool last time out, after drawing their first two league games.
New signings Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla impressed in the Gunners' 2-0 win at Anfield, with both scoring their first goal for the club.
Cazorla is 11/2 to score the opener.
Podolski heads that market at 7/2, while former Southampton player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a tempting 7/1.
Arsenal have only ever lost two home league games against Southampton.
The home side are also the only team not to have conceded in the top flight, and are 49/10 to win 2-0.
Southampton put up spirited shows in defeats against the two Manchester clubs, scoring against both, so 2-1 is worth a second look at 38/5.
Both sides have averaged over 2.5 goals in their last 20 games, with that outcome a 1/2 chance. Under 2.5 available at 29/20.

Revision as of 10:27, 23 April 2009
This article is a draft, with further revisions actively invited. Drafts are typically different than stubs in that these articles are in an active edit process. Feel free to help by expanding the article.
We need to start a Haskell centered cookbook (aka, not a PLEAC clone)
This page is based on the Scheme Cookbook at http://schemecookbook.org/Cookbook/WebHome
1 Prelude
A lot of functions are defined in the "Prelude". Also, if you ever want to search for a function, based on the name, type or module, take a look at the excellent Hoogle. This is for a lot of people a must-have while debugging and writing Haskell programs.
2 GHCi/Hugs
2.1 GHCi interaction
To start GHCi from a command prompt, simply type `ghci'
$ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.6, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude>
Prelude is the "base" library of Haskell.
To create variables at the GHCi prompt, use `let'
Prelude> let x = 5 Prelude> x 5 Prelude> let y = 3 Prelude> y 3 Prelude> x + y 8
`let' is also the way to create simple functions at the GHCi prompt
Prelude> let fact n = product [1..n] Prelude> fact 5 120
2.2 Checking Types
To check the type of an expression or function, use the command `:t'
Prelude> :t x x :: Integer Prelude> :t "Hello" "Hello" :: [Char]
Haskell has the following types defined in the Standard Prelude.
Int -- bounded, word-sized integers Integer -- unbounded integers Double -- floating point values Char -- characters String -- equivalent to [Char], strings are lists of characters () -- the unit type Bool -- booleans [a] -- lists (a,b) -- tuples / product types Either a b -- sum types Maybe a -- optional values
3 Other data structures
GHC comes with some handy data-structures by default. If you want to use a Map, use Data.Map. For sets, you can use Data.Set. A good way to find efficient data-structures is to take a look at the hierarchical libraries, see Haskell Hierarchical Libraries and scroll down to 'Data'.
3.1 Map
A naive implementation of a map would be using a list of tuples in the form of (key, value). This is used a lot, but has the big disadvantage that most operations take O(n) time.
Using Data.Map we can construct a fast map using this data-structure:
import qualified Data.Map as Map myMap :: Map.Map String Int myMap = Map.fromList [("alice", 111), ("bob", 333), ("douglas", 42)]
We can then do quick lookups:
bobsPhone :: Maybe Int bobsPhone = Map.lookup "bob" myMap
3.2 Set
3.3 Tree
3.4 ByteString
3.5 Arrays
Arrays are generally eschewed in Haskell. However, they are useful if you desperately need constant lookup or update or if you have huge amounts of raw data.Immutable arrays like
bucketByResidual :: Int -> [Int] -> Array Int [Int] bucketByResidual n xs = accumArray (\xs x -> x:xs) [] (0,n-1) [(x `mod` n, x) | x <- xs] Data.Arra.IArray> bucketByResidual 4 [x*x | x <- [1..10]] array (0,3) [(0,[100,64,36,16,4]),(1,[81,49,25,9,1]),(2,[]),(3,[])] Data.Arra.IArray> amap reverse it array (0,3) [(0,[4,16,36,64,100]),(1,[1,9,25,49,81]),(2,[]),(3,[])]
Note that the array can fill itself up in a circular fashion. Useful for dynamic programming. Here is the Edit distance between two strings without array updates.
editDistance :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Int editDistance xs ys = table ! (m,n) where (m,n) = (length xs, length ys) x = array (1,m) (zip [1..] xs) y = array (1,n) (zip [1..] ys) table :: Array (Int,Int) Int table = array bnds [(ij, dist ij) | ij <- range bnds] bnds = ((0,0),(m,n)) dist (0,j) = j dist (i,0) = i dist (i,j) = minimum [table ! (i-1,j) + 1, table ! (i,j-1) + 1, if x ! i == y ! j then table ! (i-1,j-1) else 1 + table ! (i-1,j-1)]
Mutable arrays like
import Control.Monad.State type Node = Int data Color = White | Grey | Black hasCycle :: Array Node [Node] -> Bool hasCycle graph = runState (mapDfs $ indices g) initSeen where initSeen :: DiffArray Node Color initSeen = listArray (bounds graph) (repeat White) mapDfs = fmap or . mapM dfs dfs node = get >>= \seen -> case (seen ! node) of Black -> return False Grey -> return True -- we found a cycle White -> do modify $ \seen -> seen // [(node,Grey )] found <- mapDfs (graph ! node) modify $ \seen -> seen // [(node,Black)] return found
4 Pattern matching
Regular expressions are useful in some situations where the Data.List library is unwieldy. Posix style regular expressions are available in the core libraries, and a suite of other regular expression libraries are [also available], including PCRE and TRE-style regexes.
Bryan O'Sullivan has written a nice introduction to using the new regex libraries.
5 Interactivity
5.1 Reading a string
Strings can be read as input using getLine.
Prelude> getLine Foo bar baz "Foo bar baz"
5.2 Printing a string
Strings can be output in a number of different ways.
Prelude> putStr "Foo" FooPrelude>
As you can see, putStr does not include the newline character `\n'. We can either use putStr like this:
Prelude> putStr "Foo\n" Foo
Or use putStrLn, which is already in the Standard Prelude
Prelude> putStrLn "Foo" Foo
We can also use print to print a string, including the quotation marks.
Prelude> print "Foo" "Foo"
5.3 Parsing command line arguments
6 Files
6.1 Reading from a file
The System.IO library contains the functions needed for file IO. The program below displays the contents of the file c:\test.txt.
import System.IO main = do h <- openFile "c:\\test.txt" ReadMode contents <- hGetContents h putStrLn contents hClose h
The same program, with some higher-lever functions:
main = do contents <- readFile "c:\\test.txt" putStrLn contents
6.2 Writing to a file
The following program writes the first 100 squares to a file:
-- generate a list of squares with length 'num' in string-format. numbers num = unlines $ take num $ map (show . \x -> x*x) [1..] main = do writeFile "test.txt" (numbers 100) putStrLn "successfully written"
6.3 Creating a temporary file
6.4 Writing a filter
Using interact, you can easily do things with stdin and stdout.
A program to sum up numbers:
main = interact $ show . sum . map read . lines
A program that adds line numbers to each line:
main = interact numberLines numberLines = unlines . zipWith combine [1..] . lines where combine lineNumber text = concat [show lineNumber, " ", text]
6.5 Logging to a file
7 Network programming
The following example makes use of the Network and System.IO libraries to open a socket connection to Google and retrieve the Google home page.
import Network; import System.IO; main = withSocketsDo $ do h <- connectTo "www.google.com" (PortNumber 80) hSetBuffering h LineBuffering hPutStr h "GET / HTTP/1.1\nhost: www.google.com\n\n" contents <- hGetContents h putStrLn contents hClose h
8.1 Libraries
There are multiple libraries available. In my own (limited) experience, I could only get HXT to do everything I wanted. It does make heavy use of [Arrows].
8.2 Parsing XML
9 Databases access
There are two packages you can use to connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3 and ODBC databases: HDBC and Hsql
9.1 MySQL
9.2 PostgreSQL
9.3 SQLite
Suppose you have created a 'test.db' database like this,
$ sqlite3 test.db "create table t1 (t1key INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,data TEXT,num double,timeEnter DATE);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('This is sample data',3);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('More sample data',6);"
$ sqlite3 test.db "insert into t1 (data,num) values ('And a little more',9);"
Using HDBC and HDBC-sqlite3 packages, you can connect and query it like this:
import Control.Monad import Database.HDBC import Database.HDBC.Sqlite3 main = do conn <- connectSqlite3 "test.db" rows <- quickQuery' conn "SELECT * from t1" [] forM_ rows $ \row -> putStrLn $ show row
$ ghc --make sqlite.hs
$ ./sqlite
[SqlString "1",SqlString "This is sample data",SqlString "3.0",SqlNull]
[SqlString "2",SqlString "More sample data",SqlString "6.0",SqlNull]
[SqlString "3",SqlString "And a little more",SqlString "9.0",SqlNull]
10 Graphical user interfaces
10.1 wxHaskell
wxHaskell is a portable and native GUI library for Haskell based on the wxWidgets Library.
Hello World example:
module Main where import Graphics.UI.WX main :: IO () main = start hello hello :: IO () hello = do f <- frame [text := "Hello!"] quit <- button f [text := "Quit", on command := close f] set f [layout := widget quit]
This code was taken from "a quick start with wxHaskell".
10.2 Gtk2Hs
Gtk2Hs is a GUI Library for Haskell based on GTK. Gtk2Hs Tutorial.
Hello world example:
import Graphics.UI.Gtk main :: IO () main = do initGUI w <- windowNew b <- buttonNew set b [buttonLabel := "Quit"] onClicked b $ widgetDestroy w set w [windowTitle := "Hello", containerBorderWidth := 10] containerAdd w b onDestroy w mainQuit widgetShowAll w mainGUI
For more examples, see: Applications and libraries/Games
10.3 HOpenGL
HOpenGL is a Haskell binding for the OpenGL graphics API (GL 1.2.1 / GLU 1.3) and the portable OpenGL utility toolkit GLUT. There is a Haskell OpenGL Tetris program at [[1]] by Jim.
See also: Applications and libraries/Games
There are some Haskell bindings to SDL at Hackage.
11 PDF files
For the following recipes you need to install HPDF.
11.1 Creating an empty PDF file
The following code creates an empty PDF file with the name "test1.pdf":
import Graphics.PDF main :: IO () main = do let outputFileName= "test1.pdf" let defaultPageSize = PDFRect 0 0 200 300 runPdf outputFileName standardDocInfo defaultPageSize $ do addPage Nothing
11.2 Pages with different sizes
If you pass "Nothing" to the function addPage, the default page size will be used for the size of the new page.
Let's create three pages, the last two pages with different dimensions:
import Graphics.PDF main :: IO () main = do let outputFileName= "test2.pdf" let defaultPageSize = PDFRect 0 0 200 300 runPdf outputFileName standardDocInfo defaultPageSize $ do addPage Nothing addPage $ Just $ PDFRect 0 0 100 100 addPage $ Just $ PDFRect 0 0 150 150
12.1 How to interface with C
Magnus has written a nice example on how to call a C function operating on a user defined type.
13 Testing
13.1 QuickCheck
13.2 HUnit

It is common everywhere (except deep forests and desert) but is found usually in freshwater and grassy parkland; it feeds on crops and young grass. The Egyptian goose is at home in trees, regularly perching and even roosting there; cavities and holes in trees and abandoned nests of other birds may be selected to nest in.Both sexes look alike, although the female is slightly smaller than the male. Its wing coverts are white with black primaries, and green and brown secondaries; its most distinctive feature is a chestnut-colored bandit's mask. The Egyptian goose draws attention to itself with noisy displays and fierce territorial fighting. Rivals stand or swim, breast to breast, attempting to seize each other's backs near the base of the neck while beating with their wings.

By Eduardo Cesar Lunardelli
Good, I adored this book! Many of the experienced programdores that already I talked on this workmanship, really agree to a thing, the topics of debugging, database, setup projects the author detonated! It was shining, and add-ins had also made our learning to improve in very with IDE of vs.net. A friend mine, all the times that come here in house or when I am with this book back in the university is trying to catch it of me.... I find that I go to have that to give one for it of gift!
Another reader waiting on full sample code!

This is a good book and there aren't any competitive titles that I am aware of. However it falls short of being really useful and practical for me because the book skips some detail and the full source code for the examples isn't available on the web site. WHERE IS THE CODE?! If good quality sample code was available, I'd give this book 5 stars.
Mastering Visual Studio .NET Review

Still no example code published on the website ...
By Carlos de Jesus
I checked your website, as suggested in your book but...When are you going to publish "list examples, errata, and any plans for future editions" as promised in the book?
By Toni
Very quick and a little bit confusing style in first two beta chapters suggests that this is not a book for a begginer. Also there is no source code for a samples from the book ("to download the source code for this application... see the web page for this book at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog...")
