Take a flight to Taif with Qatar Airways and you'll be visiting a city with more than a few nicknames. It's known as the 'summer capital' of Saudi Arabia as visitors come here during the hotter months to escape the scorching heat and enjoy a more temperate climate alongside the lush greenery. That greenery gives rise to its other popular pseudonym: 'the City of Roses'.
Amidst the old world architecture and the glittering glass of modern buildings, you'll find stunning gardens with so many roses that it's said you can smell the city on your approach. Flights to Taif can be bought from most international airports, giving you the chance to explore a city that plays home to fairy-tale palaces and an astounding 21st Century corniche road that winds down through the rugged cliffs to the coast.
As long as you're good with heights, your trip to Taif really ought to take in a visit to the Al-Shafa Mountain. This is a popular spot for picnickers who want refreshing breezes and to enjoy the view from 2,500 metres above sea level. You'll also find the small farming village of Al Shafa, where you can hire a camel if the walk seems a little too much for you.
Shubra Palace was once home to King Abdul-Aziz and probably shows some of the last remnants of old Taif. With latticework windows and interior marble from Italy, there are 155 rooms to explore in its more recent role as one of the most important museums in the Kingdom.
King Fahad's Garden is another beautiful attraction, being a large, lush area of greenery, surrounding a lagoon. The lagoon is fed by a man-made waterfall, which only adds to the serenity of the scenery. However, there are places to eat very nearby, making it easy to spend a peaceful day there.
A mountain-top city in Saudi Arabia might not immediately be the place you think of for leisure activities but travel to Taif and you'll be pleasantly surprised! Mountaineering is a popular pastime in the region, with challenges offered by various mountains including Al-Hada, Bani Saad, Thaqif and Bani Malik. However, if all that sounds a bit too much like hard work, you can reap the benefits of the view by taking the Al-Hada cable-car – there's even a restaurant at the top.
Arabian horses are widely recognised as among the best in the world. A trip to Taif wouldn't be complete without visiting the race track on Al-Hawiyah Road. There are races throughout the year with high-stake prizes, such as luxury cars, so be prepared to spend some money.
If your trip to Taif involves children, then you can't do much better than spending a day at Taif Zoo. The zoo is quite luxurious, with well-maintained gardens and a stunning array of fascinating animals, including monkeys, reptiles, elephants and tigers.
If you want to know about Taif's culture, its history and even its customs, then look no further than its food. With influences from India, Asia and Central Africa, the city's cuisine is aromatic, yet can also be surprisingly simple. To get a true taste of Taif, hunt down one of the traditional restaurants or choose from the dishes offered by street vendors.
You can find anything from traditional snacks, such as tirmis – salted lupine beans – to full-blown meals, such as kuzi: spit-roasted lamb served on yoghurt that has been enriched with lamb fat and served with fragrant rice or Arab bread. In addition, if you're a tea lover, Taif is something of a paradise. You can try anything from the musty, local brews to sweet mint tea and floral infusions.
The gate of the old Taif city now plays home to the Souk al-Balad; one of the city's most famous souks. Amongst the network of stalls and shops, you can hunt down great bargains, such as pure rosewater, local honey, spices and even golden burqas. One part of the souk is dedicated to gold and here you'll find local craftsmen ready to haggle with you over a piece of intricate jewellery or a wedding crown.
However, if you'd rather hunt out a more modern shopping environment, get down to Shahar Street, which is famed for its high-end boutiques and a shopping mall that has everything you could want, including nationally and internationally-branded goods.
Flights to Taif with Qatar Airways land at Taif Regional Airport. There are plenty of taxis available and good car-hire facilities.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Taif please check the visa and passport requirements.

Castle Street,
The ruined Canterbury Norman Castle is amongst the most ancient in Britain, begun by William the Conqueror around 1070. The stone castle replaced an earlier motte and bailey fortification built at the nearby Dane John. The keep was largely constructed in the reign of Henry I (1100 - 1135) as one of three Royal castles in Kent. By the late 1300's it had been overshadowed by the bigger fortifications at Dover and became a prison - by the seventeenth century it was already ruined.
Today the roofless shell of Canterbury Norman Castle is surrounded by a quiet garden - inside you can climb part way up one of the towers. The castle grounds and ground floor of the keep are accessible, but there is a narrow gateway through the stone walls into the keep itself. At the entrance on Gas Street there is a tactile 3-D model of the castle as it would have been in 1200AD.
The Canterbury Norman Castle enclosure re-used the Roman town wall as its southern boundary. Some reused Roman material may still be seen in the far corner close to the Wincheap pedestrian subway.
Scheduled as an ancient monument.

How to remove curly brackets and arrow symbols from a list.
Hi Math Guru,
I will be very happy if you could help me to solve the following problem.
The simplified version of my problem is the following.
I have a quadratic equation with a parameter, say "p".
Define the function:
f[x_] := A*X^2 + B*X*p + D with A, B and D are given.
"p" is a parameter.
I solve this equation for a given p:
w = Solve[f[x]] == 0, X].
Now I want to make a Table for the solutions of this
quadratic equation for different values of "p".
So I write,
I will get a table which will look like,
0 {w -> a} {w -> -a}
1 {w -> b} {w -> -b}
2 {w -> c} {w -> -c}
and so on.........
How can I remove the curly brackets and the arrow symbol
from the TableForm? I would like to plot the 1st column
vs. 2nd or 3rd column. I must remove those brackets.
and I wish to get the following form:
0 a -a
1 b -b
2 c -c
Hope this can be done easily which I am not aware.
Any suggestion/solution to this problem is most welcome.
Thanking you in advance.

Hello all,
As i told you last week, i went today to the exhibition...
I have around 300 HI/RES pics.. some really good showing amazing details.
I think that the question about how it was painted could be solved, and also some details about how to hold the parts and some others....
I will place here a few hi res pics, so you can see what i am talking about, and some low res. I took Boba and Jango ones.
Hope you like them.
Please TDH admins, give me a place to send them, i will put them on a DVD and mail it the fastest way, so everybody can have them.
If anybody is painting it as in ROTJ.... dont finish it yet !!!
Check how they hold the elastic band with velcro. Or see the number in the white line of the range finder (no transparent glass either). Or the inside of the rockets from the rocket pack. Or... or... or....

fargle. I'd be interested but I am lucky and someone gave me a Barista for Christmas last year.
joedrozal wrote:in for one...quit drinking so turning my wet bar into a --COFFEE BAR--...so sad
It truly is. unless you start using coffee/espresso as a mixer. wootkins
I have the non-diecast version at home because of how much this cost originally (since we were using a wedding gift card to purchase it). This is a good price. If you are using the milk steamer, make sure you clean it regularly or it will clog, In addition, you need to clean out the espresso machine itself or you won't get the pressure you need to make the good stuff anymore. About once every 30 - 40 uses. The reviews I've seen about people complaining the machine has stopped working has been mainly from lime build-up.
Been wanting a good machine at a bargain price for some time and I finally found it... great deal... in for one!
key for hot coffe with this machine..................PRE-HEAT MACHINE THEN RUN WATER THRU PORTAFILTER FOR 10 SECONDS.
I bought one of these two days ago. I'm packaging it up now and taking it back to the store and ordering one off here.
savings: $250!
Oh and it's an INCREDIBLE espresso machine. It's my first one and I'm already turning out near starbucks level espresso. I was going to buy the cheaper Cafe Roma, but when I held the filter, and it weighed a ton, I figured the entire thing was die cast stainless steel. The other one had this cheap piece of a major Hollywood production filter that would've broke in no time.
I've had this model for just over a year and despite it's quirks* I absolutely love it. Great machine: consistent shots, low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing, love the height between portafilter and base. I've been consistently pulling it 6-10 shots a day since the day I got it. A Rocky it is not, but at about half the price of going retail, I'd call this a great buy.
-soupy grinds, no real puck after extracting
-double walled presurized portafilter
I have a Breville machine similar to this one (different model).
Bought it new, at a retail store when it was on sale.
It's an awesome machine, built to last.
But the important thing, is that it makes excellent expresso, latte and all that. The milk REALLY foams/froths.
We've had it for 3 years and it operates flawlessly.
The only complaints you'll get from real owners of this machine are minor and not related to the quality of coffee it brews: for example when you take the handle out,after making coffee, the grounds are soggy/not packed tight. That's an aftermath of the double pressure thing.
Love it.
This is not really cheap. I owned this bought same model in ebay a month ago it only cost me $120 brandnew.
i have the Breville ikon Espresso Machine
looks similiar to this one, holds filter in nicely when tapping grounds out unlike complaints about this one (i guess)
I paid 149 for mine and love it
Thermoblock + false-bottom "crema enhancer" basket = failure.
Better than a steam toy, but what you want to look for is a solid brass boiler and plain stainless filter baskets that clip into the portafilter (the bit with the handle). This kit will only ever make mediocre coffee. "Crema whipper" baskets aerate the coffee to get that fake foam, and that noticeably hurts the flavor.
ellemy08 wrote:This is not really cheap. I owned this bought same model in ebay a month ago it only cost me $120 brandnew.
Did you buy a stolen one? Everywhere else they're $399 new and ebay right now has the respliffed like this for $199....
I own this product (paid retail for it a year ago), and it makes fantastic espresso. Honestly, it's the best machine out there under a couple thousand. I am strongly considering buying another one!
"15 bar Triple-Prime™ pump"
Wow, I've been looking for a coffee maker with that! The one I have only has 14 bars!
My wife and I have this machine and it has worked perfectly for the past 2.5 years. Beware of the more inexpensive models. You always get what you pay for. This is a great quality machine and is well worth the money. I wish I had found a refurbished one when we got ours.
elpepe wrote:I'm sorry, but a used appliance that makes food or beverages is gross. Even if it does use boiling hot water and air 15 times greater than atmospheric pressure.
Must be nice having every 'bucks and restaurant open up a fresh expresso-maker when you arrive so you are not reduced to getting your java from a gross ,used appliance. (Do you bring paper plates and sporks with you to restaurants too?)
I had to chuckle at the comments about how good the coffee is, but any halfway decent machine will make better coffee than Starbucks!
But for my money I's steer clear of any machine with a pump, they break after a few years of daily use, there's a reason forall the respiffs you know. After having gone through several (I had a $100 Braun outlast a $300 Krups and a $500 DeLonghi) I settled on a manual style machine. It is decidedly old-school...only thing to turn on it the boiler, lift the handle and press your own. I use it 5-8 times a week and it is nearly 9 years old. The one I have is made by LaPavoni, it is chrome plated brass and might just outlive me. Besides those old style machines are pretty nice looking on the counter.
PS> I'd recommend using distilled water, scale buildup will destroy it over time.
elpepe wrote:The difference is that at a (reputable, at least) restaurant, the appliances are cleaned regularly and they are inspected by the health department. Now, I am not saying this is the case with these espresso machines, but someone could buy an appliance, use it once, not clean it for months while mold and mildew grew. If they then return it under warranty, how well is it actually cleaned? Maybe very well, maybe not. And the other thing is that of course not all the parts of this machine have the superhot water and high pressure ... some parts just sit there.
Who wouldn't clean a food/drink machine they just purchased? (new or used).
Zeusandhera wrote:If you buy Starbucks regularly, buy this instead, you'll save a ton in the long run!
And it'll taste better than Charbucks, too. Just be sure and get a decent burr grinder. Those cheapo whirly-gig spice grinders they market for coffee won't cut it with an espresso machine.
Oooo, speaking of coffee, check out www.sweetmarias.com and roast your own beans at home.
This looks beautiful, but if you go to Amazon, there are plenty of bad reviews on it.
Does this work with pods like the illy ESE pods? (I know a true afficionado would likely dismiss them, but I'd just like the option.)

Actually I have this machine and it says specifically NOT to use distilled water. I don't know why, though.
Anyone know?

That's weird. That's all I ever use in my Saeco Via Veneto.
ryanroat wrote:Does this work with pods like the illy ESE pods? (I know a true afficionado would likely dismiss them, but I'd just like the option.)
It does work with Pods. It has a special attachment to the filter that's engraved with POD.
riffrafff wrote:That's weird. That's all I ever use in my Saeco Via Veneto.
Did a google and here's what I found:
Ah, soft water and distilled water is said to be less flavorful than spring water. That's what they're on about.
*giggles*, wow. A restaurant properly cleaning their appliances?!? I don't think so. Even the reputable ones only properly clean when they have an inspection due. Trust me on this one (I have a buddy who's worked at many of the finer establishments in nyc, and well, you don't want to know how unclean most of these places are.).
riffrafff wrote:Ah, soft water and distilled water is said to be less flavorful than spring water. That's what they're on about.
It makes sense I guess. I use filtered tap. I'm going to try different types and see if it really makes a difference. I probably won't even notice!
Now is my chance to be a Barista
Save your money and go to Mickey D's
Can you use Folger's instant in it? Mmmmmm! Now THAT'S good java!!!!
sticknam50392 wrote:I was actually looking for a gift for a friend who really likes coffee....but I'm not buying this.
Why? Not because I dislike the product.
I'm not buying it because Woot just sent out SEVEN IDENTICAL TWEETS IN THE PAST 14 MINUTES ADVERTISING THIS DAMN PRODUCT.
NO. I DON'T want 7 text messages for every piece of ... you guys try to sell.
EDIT: Just got yet ANOTHER text.
EDIT: DIE WOOT, DIE. 10 text messages is 9 too many, I've stopped following Woot.
I've had this machine for nearly 2 years. I got it to work reasonably well by doing the following: 1) Getting a good grinder ($200 Gaggia) - very, very important. 2) Removing the bottom of the portafilters. 3) Steaming without the attachment. 4)Experimenting with the grind setting to get a 25 second pull - which turns out to be different for different beans - I have no idea why.
Does not work very well with pods. Yeah, it's got a pod portafilter, but it takes over a minute to finally drip an espresso cup through, and that amount of time makes for bad espresso. I've tried several different Italian brands of pods - all the same result.
This is a great price.
I bought this machine at Dillards for $300, was our anniversary gift to one another. We shopped for months for the perfect espresso/latte maker. We love it, had it now for over 2 yrs....One morning went to use it and it was dead. We had a lightning storm that week, it must have gotten zapped. I called the company and told them that it was dead, did not know what happened to it, etc. I shipped them mine and they shipped me a new one. They have great customer service. Machine is great quality, a bit noisy when steaming milk though...but that is what Tivo is for....just pause what you are watching till the milk is frothy.
If I wanted an espresso maker...this would be a deal! I've got a different series Breville that I've had for a couple years now...simply impressive stuff.
The steamer wand on mine is also worthless (Breville must put them on to make them look complete), but, once I took the wand condom off...this thing can shoot steam well enough to cook eggs.
Mormons don't drink coffee in public. This is for private consumption ;)
This is a beautiful machine. If I hadn't spent so much money during the w00t-off, it would be mine. Nobody needs a $200 grinder to go with it...even I'M not THAT big a coffee snob! I have worked in restaurants before, too...many barristas are basically quite lazy. If you love your espresso, just buy it. At Starbucks' prices, this thing will pay for itself in a couple of months. Cleaning it isn't that big of a deal.
Say what you will about 'steam toys'. I will stick to my Bialetti Mukka Express cappuccino pot. Bought used on ebay for $20. If you are thinking espresso start with Bialetti or its knock offs and if they are inadequate then go for a machine.
If you want coffee, I suggest a French Press, for example Bodum.
Save yourself $125 and buy one of these:
And absolutely love it! Good quality, pulls a great shot! Only suggestion is to grind your beans just a little more coarse than normal espresso grind. Like a 1.5 if you put it in the machine at the store... the little filter can clog if you don't.
Oh, and remove the little tube that covers the steam wand... you'll learn how to froth it yourself (that thing creates too much froth, no milk)
I HIGHLY recommend this unit! i paid $399 new and it is still worth it at that price!

good luck and rememberNOT to use too much suction. In fact, stop along the way and look down through the cut out shim to make sure you aren't killing the bees.
Looking at the pics I'm wondering if perhaps you have more than one hive there....JP
Robo, when you say you figure the comb will be parallel to the plywood do you mean the plane of each comb will be parallel with the plywood? Looking at where the owner had removed the hive last year the wax pattern remaining on the plywood shows that they were spanning the cavity from plywood to plywood (he didn't put the plywood back on) which would've made that comb at a 90-degree angle with the plywood. I asked the owner if he remembered if the comb seemed to stick to one piece of plywood more so than the other...he said he didn't remember one being apparently favored for attachment but that comb stuck to both sides as they removed the one piece of plywood. What size are the holes for the vacuum hoses? I measured my old Craftsman 5.5hp vac and the actual connector (has the thumb latch on the vacuum end) measured 2.25" o.d. The hose itself "seemed" to measure 2.5" but this was just holding a tape measure up against it so not up to NASA standards. :) I've got another shop vac that I bought at one of those give-away-sales at Lowe's a few years back that's been sitting in storage that I've gotta check the hose diameter on...I think it's about the same as the Craftsman.

As a society, we are undergoing one of the most significant macrolevel shifts in our lifetimes: the shift from centralized hierarchies to decentralized networks. We're just starting to see how this affects governments, cultures, industries, and individuals. The study group explores fundamental elements of the networked world and how emerging digital trends have led to political and civic innovation. In spite of progress, we lack solutions for the world's most pressing civic problems from poverty to education inequality to failing infrastructure. The study group will also consider unsolved civic problems and how lessons from the networked world can be used to tackle society's greatest challenges.

I had a great time last Friday at Berkeley's Annual Energy Symposium put on by the Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative. Interesting people, interesting talks, and great to catch up with former students who are now working in all parts of the energy industry and government agencies. I particularly enjoyed the session I got to chair on subsidies/support/incentives (everyone has a different word) for renewable energy.
But a number of times during the day I heard the common wisdom that the subsidies to the fossil fuel industries are a major barrier (some said THE major barrier) to the success of renewable energy.
If only it were that simple. Unfortunately, the common wisdom isn't correct. Subsidies to fossil fuel companies are bad public policy and should be ended, but they have no meaningful impact on the competitive position of renewables.
I did an analysis of this argument as it applies to the electricity sector in a paper on renewable electricity generation that I published earlier this year. Basically, I took the estimated energy subsidies from a study by the Environmental Law Institute and parsed out the ones that go to coal and natural gas used for electricity generation, which comes to about $21 billion over the 7 years they studied, 2002-2008 I then divided the subsidies by the total electricity generated from these sources during the same period. The result is an average subsidy of $0.0011 per kilowatt-hour, just a couple percent of the average wholesale price of electricity. The Energy Information Administration has a smaller number for coal and gas subsidies, and some studies have numbers a few times higher. But even if you take the highest plausible numbers out there, eliminating these subsidies would do almost nothing to bridge the gap between renewables and fossil fuel electricity generation.
The other argument I hear is about subsidies for oil. The ELI study puts these at nearly $50 billion over 7 years. That's a lot of money, but for renewable fuels that compete with oil the relevant question is how much of that subsidy gets passed along to consumers. The answer is virtually none. Oil is sold in a world market. The impact of these subsidies on U.S. oil production (less than 8 million barrels/day during this period) was probably small to begin with, but its impact on price in the world oil market (about 85 million barrels/day) was almost certainly undetectable. Subsidies for oil production are really dumb policy, but they aren't lowering the price of oil (or gasoline), so they aren't making it harder for renewable fuels to compete.
And then there's the argument that we've been subsidizing fossil fuels for the last 100 years, so it's only "fair" to subsidize alternatives now. It's hard to find much economic logic in this argument. Surely we shouldn't subsidize any alternative, no matter how expensive or ineffective, just because we have subsidized fossil fuels in the past. The argument for subsidizing alternatives today has to be forward-looking — will such subsidies lead to better outcomes for society? — Not the idea that two bad policies cancel each other out.
Of course, the real subsidy to fossil fuels is that they emit local and global pollutants for which no one is required to pay. From an environmental perspective, we'd be better off focusing on that major issue, not pretending that eliminating special tax breaks for fossil fuels will make alternatives economic.

Praised by the New York Times as "a gifted poet of that dark lushness in the heart of the American landscape," Jonis Agee is the award-winning author of 12 books. Her latest, THE BONES OF PARADISE, is a multigenerational family saga set in the unforgiving Nebraska Sand Hills in the years following the massacre at Wounded Knee, and is at once a mystery, a tragedy, a romance, and an unflagging exploration of the beauty and brutality that defined the settling of the American west. In this interview with The Book Report Network's Alexis Burling, Agee --- in characteristically sumptuous prose --- discusses why she chose to tell this particular story at this particular moment in time, why she believes it's futile for people to fight the truth of their histories, and how in the world she has come to own over 20 pairs of cowboy boots.

Beatriz Williams follows up her Schuyler Sisters trilogy (THE SECRET LIFE OF VIOLET GRANT, TINY LITTLE THING and ALONG THE INFINITE SEA) with A CERTAIN AGE, a stand-alone novel that brings the Roaring Twenties brilliantly to life in an enchanting tale of intrigue, romance and scandal in New York Society. In this interview, Williams discusses Der Rosenkavalier, the Strauss opera that serves as the direct inspiration for the book, how she adapted the opera's characters to make them more dimensional for a modern audience, and how she researches her meticulously detailed historical fiction (hint: Google doesn't hurt!).

International bestselling author Emelie Schepp introduces us to the enigmatic, unforgettable Jana Berzelius in MARKED FOR LIFE, the first installment of a chilling trilogy. Schepp didn't take the traditional route to publication; instead of being deterred when her manuscript was rejected or ignored by major publishing houses, she published her work online and became one of the most popular self-published authors in Sweden. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Joe Hartlaub, Schepp opens up about her unique --- although increasingly less so --- path to success, why she feels inclined to explore the theme of envy between women, and what we can expect from her next.

In this interview, Rowley reveals the heartbreaking inspiration behind his first novel, why your 40s can feel like the "halftime" of your life, and how he tends to blur the lines between prose and poetry in his writing.

NOTEBOOK: Green Bay Soars Past Last Season's Dunk Total
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – In 2012-13, the Green Bay men's basketball showed signs of a high-flying style which included leading the Horizon League in blocked shots and tallying 50 dunks on the season.

|Senior Associate Athletics Director

Having completed nine seasons as the head coach of Dartmouth women's crew, Wendy Bordeau has already led the Big Green to three NCAA Championship appearances, with the Varsity Eight making the field in 2007 and the entire team qualifying in 2009 (for the first time since 1998) and again in 2011.
Since arriving in 2005, Levash has guided the Dartmouth Varsity to two Grand Finals at Eastern Sprints, including a fifth-place finish in 2009. The 2007 squad took fifth at sprints and earned one of four at-large bids awarded to standout Varsity Eight boats. That boat surpassed expectations by taking second by just 0.42 seconds in the Petite Final for an eighth-place overall finish out of 16 boats.
At Dartmouth, Levash has mentored several standout rowers including Anne Kennedy '07 and Kate Davison '07 who won gold medals with Team USA at the U-23 World Championships in 2006. Kathryn Twyman '09 has rowed for the Great Britain National Team, claiming gold at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in the lightweight women's quad, and Emily Dreissigacker '11 competed on the U.S. U-23 National Team in both 2009 and 2010.
The Eastern Association of Women's Rowing Colleges (EAWRC) Novice Coach of the Year in 2002, Levash led her Princeton University freshman crews to undefeated seasons and gold medals at the Eastern Sprints in 2002 and 2004. Her 2003 freshmen captured a silver medal at the Sprints.
Prior to her stint with the Tigers, Levash spent three years molding the Cornell first novice eight into a championship crew. During her final season in Ithaca in 2001, she was named the EAWRC Novice Coach of the Year after leading her crew to an undefeated season and a gold medal at the Eastern Sprints.
A standout rower in her own right, Levash captained the 1998 Princeton crew. She won a gold medal at the Eastern Sprints in 1995 as a member of the first novice eight and struck gold again at the Sprints in 1997 as a member of the first varsity eight. Levash also competed in the first two NCAA championship regattas in 1997 and 1998.
A 1998 magna cum laude graduate of Princeton with a B.A. in ecology and evolutionary biology, Levash won the Leslie K. Johnson Memorial Award for outstanding senior thesis work in 1998. She lives in Vermont with her husband, Topher Bordeau, the former Dartmouth men's heavyweight crew head coach.

Great game by Latos. I really liked what I saw out of him in a big ballgame. He was all business and he didn't let anything get to him. If he keeps on maturing like he has he's going to be an ace on this staff. I didn't really know what to expect from him tonight. I was really worried the moment may get to him and have rough outing. But he was great and I could see him coming up big in the playoffs too. Oh and the home run he hit wasn't bad either.
Reds can be no worse than 2 1/2 front by the end of the weekend. But they way this team is playing I believe they may just sweep this Pirate team.

'For me, it gives me a new beginning, a chance to come back closer to friends and family, which is a great thing," said Rivet, who was in Buffalo earlier this month to find a place to live and check out the area. I've spoken to a lot of players who have played there previously and every single guy I talked to has loved it there. I'm really looking forward to getting down there. I've spoke to the GM(Darcy Regier) and coach Lindy Ruff. This is a young, talented team. I think last year, they were among the top five in the league in goals (fourth, with 255). They have a lot of guys who can score goals and put up offence, but at the same time, they're allowing a lot of goals against. We are going to score goals, but if we can get better defensively and worry about our defensive zone and cut down on those goals against, I think we'll be pretty solid."'

No 12 step program, but certainly a 12 gauge program somewhere. :wink: :lol: :P
It's good to be back in the forum. Thanks to shipwreck & js who corrected my log in problems.
My 12 step plan is the good old IRS. Got a letter from them informing me I owe some more blood money. The money I was saving to buy a new S & W MP40 will now have to be sent to those blood suckers. We really need "The Fair Tax Plan" as outlined in "The Fair Tax Book" by Boortz & Linder. Anything but what we got now!! :evil:
Now for the wife, shoes, clothes thing. She not only has about filled up our large, walk in closet with shoes & clothes but she is as much of a gun nut as I am. I guess that is the bad & the good news. :?
There is a program: buy a pistol, repeat 12 times.
Simple and easy to remember (but I lost count and went over :oops: ).
Been there,done that :( :(Quote:

It is exactly 12 steps form the firearms counter to the holster isl in my local gun shop. Does that count.
I never looked at it that way. I'll have to check next time I'm at the shop, then I can tell my wife I'm going to a 12 step meeting. :lol: :lol:

During the first week of June, we had one of our quarterly Sales Enablement Leadership Council meetings in Barcelona, Spain. (A leadership council is comprised of executives from leading companies who work with us to set the direction for the near-term and long-term role of sales enablement.) For an entire day, we discussed the application of Forrester's SIMPLE framework, which is a model designed to help combat the random acts of sales support that persist within most B2B companies, to common sales enablement leadership challenges.
The sheer volume of insight, ideas, new research topics, and techniques shared during that session was tremendous – far too much to share in one blog post. So, I am going to pick two issues that came up.
First off, Tamara, I hear you. I was told point blank that I need to participate in the social community more. I'm going to make a more dedicated effort to do this moving forward, but I need your help. Please tell me what you'd like me to share and how. Honestly, I get a little caught up around the axle about the many deliverable formats I'm responsible for (research reports, teleconferences, conference presentations, facilitating council meetings, client deliverables, etc.) so I would love the coaching from the community on what would be the most useful.
Secondly, at the beginning of our council meeting, we had a good discussion about where the sales enablement profession is heading. I've written a very detailed document defining the scope and role of sales enablement strategically, but there is an easier way to summarize the trends based on how you define the word "sales."

The Forrester Wave for Multi-Platform MDM is out!
The last Forrester Wave for MDM was released in 2008 and focused on the Customer Hub. Well, things have certainly changed since then. Organizations need enterprise scale to break down data silos. Data Governance is quickly becoming part of an organization's operating model. And, don't forget, the big elephant in the room, Big Data.
From 2008 to now there have been multiple analyst firm evaluations of MDM vendors. Vendors come, go or are acquired. But, the leaders are almost always the same. We also see inquiries and implementations tracking to the leaders. Our market overview report helped to identify the distinct segments of MDM vendors and found that MDM leaders were going big, leveraging a strategic perspective of data management, a suite of products, and pushing to support and create modern data management environments. What needed to be addressed, how do you make a decision between these vendors?
The Forrester Wave for the Multi-Platform MDM market segment gets to the heart of this question by pushing top vendors to differentiate amongst themselves and evaluating them at the highest levels of MDM strategy. There were things we learned that surprised us as well as where the line was drawn between marketing messaging and positioning and real capabilities. This was done by positioning the Wave process the way our clients would evaluate vendors, rigorously questioning and fact checking responses and demos.

Download After just two months, 80% of the company's 2,800 staff has created a profile on the platform, and 27,000 posts have been added across 200 groups. The initial use cases have been very successful, with the social intranet now replacing various different communication channels including email, and driving greater interaction between departments. The highly distributed sales team has embraced the technology particularly enthusiastically, predominantly to support sharing of success stories on the platform. While it's still early days, Yellow Pages Group is already seeing evidence of the flattening of the organisational hierarchy, with greater communication and visibility between senior and more junior staff.

What's a web feed?
Web feeds are useful for keeping up with multiple online information sources. Some common types of feeds are a site's blog posts, all our stories from a particular category (from large categories, like Sports, to small categories, like our Books coverage). The feeds you subscribe let you know when there's new content. The feeds themselves usually consist of a collection of entries, each with a headline and a blurb and a link.
What's the point?
The cool thing about feeds is when they're used right they save you time. Web feeds allow you access to only the information you're interested in and none of the information you're not. Are you only interested in our movie coverage? Instead of surfing to our movie section each day to see if there's a new article, you can subscrib to the movie web feed, which will let you know when there are new articles. This gets more useful the more feeds you subscribe to: instead of going to, say, fifteen different sites, sections or pages to see if there's anything you want to read, now you just go to one place.
What's a web feed reader?
To take advantage of these feeds, you'll need a web feed reader, which is a piece of software that searches the web for feeds. You can customize these readers to just search for articles or sources (like a specific blog, for example, or all the News from the BBC) that you want, and ignore everything else. It's a way to filter through the huge amount of information online and retrieve the stuff that matters most to you.

5 dead in apparent arson-homicide at Denver bar
October 17, 2012
DENVER – Five people were found dead in a neighborhood bar where a fire broke out early Wednesday, and police think the blaze was set to cover up their slayings.The fire at Fero's Bar & Grill was reported around closing time at 2 a.m., Police Chief Robert White said.Firefighters found four women and one man dead inside the bar. Police don't think they were killed in the fire."The business has obviously been set on fire, an arson, I'm guessing, to mask the homicide that occurred inside," said police Commander Ronald Saunier."There is just trauma, enough information to believe that we have a homicide that occurred here. They didn't perish in the fire," he said.The fire didn't appear to be a very large one. No damage to the bar was visible from the street or aerial news coverage.The bar is located in a strip mall about five miles south of downtown Denver just outside of the tony Cherry Creek North shopping district on one of the city's busiest streets, Colorado Boulevard. In listings in Denver's alternative weekly, Westword, Fero's is described as a "longstanding dive" that attracts regulars as well as people staying in nearby hotels. It shares the strip mall with a check cashing store and a car repair shop.The bar's owners couldn't immediately be reached for comment. No one answered the door at the Aurora home of Young Fero, listed in state records as one of the owners of the bar. A sign on the door read, "Day sleeper, please don't ring the doorbell! Thank you." It was signed "The sleeper."Neighbor Mike Spinale described Fero as "really nice.""She didn't speak much, but I know she owned a bar and she worked all the time," Spinale said. "She told me she did everything herself."Young Fero's ex-husband, Danny Fero, said he went to the scene Wednesday and talked with police, but he wasn't asked to identify any of the bodies. He said he did not know who might have been at the bar Wednesday morning. "She always worked late and closed the bar," he said. He doesn't know if she was one of the victims. Danny Fero said he talked with her about a month ago regarding a visit with their daughter, but his ex-wife made no mention of any threats. He said he was shocked by the events at the bar he once co-owned with her. "I wanted to make myself available to police as soon as possible," Danny Fero said, adding police asked him not to discuss other details of the case. After sunrise, residents in a neighboring apartment building were out walking their dogs as police looked in trash bins and checked out cars parked outside. The five dead are believed to be the only ones in the bar when the fire started – other than whoever is responsible for their deaths -so police are asking anyone else who was at the place earlier to come forward, as investigators try to piece together what happened.The victims haven't been identified. Autopsies were expected to be conducted later in the day.Frank Peluso, who works in an office building a half block away, said he used to eat lunch at the bar but hasn't been there in three years. He said it seemed to be declining and the owners have tried various things to attract more business, including offering karaoke."It's one of those places that you wonder how it stays in business," Peluso said.Resident Matthew Neam said you can't see into the bar because the front windows are frosted. He said he and his friend used to joke about what might be inside."I've never gone in there. It always looked kind of sketchy to me," Neam said.

We live in a world filled with technology-empowered consumers who have access to more information on brands than ever before. Armed with this information, they are telling brands where, when, and how they want to engage. This new world has sent marketers and the brand's they support into a tailspin — they are losing control of their brand message and are losing trust with consumers. My colleagues Tracy Stokes, Chelsea Hammond, and I have developed a framework that helps marketers stop their free fall and chart a new course for their brand to win mindshare and market share in this new world. We call it the TRUE Brand Compass Framework.
In this framework, we take the stance that for marketers to succeed in building a 21st century brand, they need to focus on a new set of metrics that capture brand resonance. Professor Kevin Lane Keller perfectly states what brand resonance is: "where customers feel a connection or sense of community with the brand and they would miss it if it went away." In our research and advanced analytics on brand resonance, we identified four key dimensions that each significantly influence brand resonance. These four dimensions are TRUE: trusted, remarkable, unmistakable, and essential.

Many Muslim societies enforce strict laws about the dissmentation of information concerning sexual activity which may result in individuals lacking information about normal sexual relations between people. An important factor in contemporary Egyptian society is the severe economic crisis which results in high unemployment and thus necessitates delayed marriage. The problem has been agravated by the advent of globilization and technology. Millions of people now readily gain access to pornographic materials while living in sexually repressive societies. Many liberals urge greater sexual freedom, but, according to Ahmed Maged, writing in the Cairo Egyptian News, "that's easier said than done. To a great extent, sex is still linked to the trio of politics, religion, and social taboos.–three very sensitive topics that are still hard to debate openly even under the umbrella of democracy and press freedom. The religious standpoint is unequivocal: no sex outside wedlock. While politicians are sometimes permissive, they ultimately have to tighten their grip to safeguard traditional moral standards and prove to their arch foe, the Muslim fundamentalists, that Islamic values are being upheld."
Nadra Wahdan, a sociologist at the National Planning Instittue, it "was a big mistake to have prohibited legalized prostitution, which is an ineviatble reality in each and every society. Even during the golden Islamic ages, brothels existed in districts of their own outside the city. Now each and every women is subjected to harassment on the streets simply because prostitutes are not isolated in one place."
Delayed marriage due to economic factors is an offshoot of the difficulty of creating dynamic economies in many Middle Eastern nations. Apparently, it is easier getting Middle Easterners aroused over cartoons than over the importance of ending sectarian violence, building the foundation of peace, and moving ahead into a modern economy.

|it is possible for tow company to damage but will be very hard to prove. 420 seems very high. I just changed inner tie rod on pass. side part was 23.00 at dealers four wheel alignment is only 100 or less. Did you at any time hit a curb? I hit a curb snow covered at 10mph and it bent it bad. Was your steering wheel out of alignment? I think your mechanic screwed you. You can look at the boot around your tie rod it will have a metal band that is crimped if they replaced the tie rod then it should have a plastic zip tie or maybe a hose clamp. I don't know what the book calls for as far as labor but more than an hour labor is too much. and more than 60.00 for the part is too much. Your bill should have been no more than 250.00
yes this is common with tow trucks picking up cars that are parked and do not have keys for them.
I have seen axles broken in half, transmissions damaged, control arms broken, sway bars bent, tie rod ends broken.
Think about it like this, they are trying to tow your car in the fastest possible way they can, do you think they are worried about damage to your car because you parked somewhere illegal? Usually they have you sign a thing saying you will not sue them for damage they caused because you parked illegally.
|samm0, i dont know anything about it imparticular, but you should do a search on here and see if anyone has talked about it, otherwise i would google.com it and see if you can find anything.
When I had a 99 SVTC I got T-boned only after 2 weeks of owning the car. The tow company towed the vehicle, I went to pick it up, and the damage was only the passenger side door, headlight, ¼ panel, and a few other things, no mechanical damage (I thought) after further inspection. So its in condition to drive, and I do, I take it to a body work specialist.. they fix it.. new paint, etc.. To make a long story short..
For some weird reason, my Contour would go through tires in about 2,000 miles.. I'm talking 40,000 + Mile tires… The weirdest shit I had ever seen. Just destroying them. 2 Complete Sets of Tires, 1 Replaced after thinking the first set was defective.
This was about 2 months after the accident, wayyyyy to much time had passed.. BUT I took the car to a mechanic & the owner of the shop was a friend of the family. So it was looked at and the lower rear control arm was bent causing the drivers rear wheel to push the car in a slight angle, which in turn wasn't noticed during alignment and compensated for, therefore causing the tires to wear extremely fast. (By the shitty repair shop)
Moral of the story, tow companies will your car up.. so there is no doubt in my mind that it was them at fault..
Tow Truck Bent Tie Rod
I own a 2000 Focus ZX3. On New Year's Eve, it was towed because I parked illegally. As soon as I drove the car upon picking it up from the tow place, I noticed that the steering was screwed up and had to pull over and have it towed (again) to my garage. My garage told me that the tie rod on the driver's side had been bent. They replaced it and did a 4-wheel allignment. Total cost: $420.
It's obvious (to me, at least), that the tow truck damaged my car. But they're trying to weasel out of it, saying there's no way their tow trucks (I believe they have the non-flatbed kind) could have done this, although I could have done it myself by driving into a curb or maybe it had slipped out of alignment by magic. They also didn't think that my garage even replaced the tie rod, saying that they thought it had just been cleaned really well to look new since it didn't seem to have been removed from the boot. I have no idea what any of that means, but maybe some of you do.
Basically, the car was pretty much undriveable when I picked it up, so there's really no way it could have been like that before the tow took it. Of course, it's my word against theirs about that.
My question is, can a tow truck damage a tie rod like that? Someone told me that a bent tie rod is a common towing injury for Focuses, but I haven't found anything to confirm that. If I end up having to take the tow company to court, it'd be nice to know that I at least have a leg to stand on. I don't know much about cars and had never even heard of a tie rod before all this happened, so any information you can give me would be valuable and appreciated. Thank you thank you thank you.
(And no, my insurance company will not help me. Progressive says that since the damage was under my deductible, they have no way of forcing the tow company to pay. So I'll probably be dealing with this on my own. And then changing insurance companies).

Police seize 23 pounds synthetic marijuana, arrest New London man
Plainfield - State police said a 43-year-old New London man stopped and arrested on Interstate 395 Wednesday was transporting 23 pounds of synthetic marijuana and 11 digital scales.
Faheem Muhammad of 52 Hawthorne Drive was stopped by police at the rest area in Plainfield at 6:30 p.m. and during the traffic stop troopers could see in plain view "a large cardboard box containing numerous bags of synthetic marijuana," according to a press statement from the state police Quality of Life Task Force, which is based at Troop D in Danielson.
Police said there were 900 bags of synthetic marijuana with an estimated street value of $18,000.
Muhammad was charged with possession of narcotics and possession of narcotics with intent to sell. Processed and released on a $50,000 non-surety bond, he is slated to appear July 30 in Danielson Superior.
The arrest was one of several made in the past month in the so-called "Quiet Corner," as part of a concerted effort to combat the drug trade. Police ask anyone with information regarding the illegal sale of narcotics and /or synthetic marijuana to call the Troop D QLTF anonymous Tips Hotline at 860-779-4950 or message the QLTF Facebook page.

Posted by James McCormick on the Customer Insights Professionals Blog on September 25, 2013
I remember my first day at high school. Yikes it was scary. The older kids were BIG! The teachers were BIG (the phys ed teacher was even a little mean), the school was BIG . . . Everything felt so BIG! But as the year ticked by, l became familiar and comfortable with my classmates, teachers, and the school -- the place shrunk to a more comforting size.
Today marketers feel about data as I did about my first day at big school -- it's BIG. There is lots of it, and it's coming at them from many directions and in many forms. But data does not feel so big and daunting to the marketer who recognizes their customers buried in the fog of big data. The fact is, customer recognition is the key for marketers to make sense of big data; and it is at the heart of all effective marketing activities. I write about this in my most recent report: "Customer Recognition: The CI Keystone."
So what is customer recognition?

"This card was super cute and just as cute in person. It was very easy to customize. I choose this card because it complemented my son's Easter picture best. I choose the standard matte finish and the green back. I was so happy when I received them in the mail."
"We received so many compliments on this card. The colors are bright and fun for Easter without looking too childish. Couldn't be more pleased with the design, and qualityof this card."
"My daughter was in the NICU for several weeks, so we didn't get a chance to send out birth announcements. I still wanted to send something out with her pic this Spring, but not necessarily Easter specific. This card was perfect and super cute!"
"It was so easy to upload a photo and add personalized text to this card. Stayed with the green imprinting, which is a beautiful green and adds some great color to the card. Cards arrived quickly and looked great! Paper quality was super - heavy weight cardstock, not flimsy at all. Friends and family loved receiving the card...all thought it was darling (of course, our cute baby boy's picture in the center didn't hurt). Cards pricey but worth it for the customization. Would definitely order from Tiny Prints again!"
"Very easy to personalize, the website is so user friendly. I could not decide between two pictures and the site is great so you can compare which picture is best. I added a color photo and it looked great too. Everyone loved the card, good size, and focused on our little ones smile."

text: OK, I launched onto a new diet about 2.5 weeks ago. I joined the Quick Weight Loss Center program because I know some people who did it and actually lost weight and kept it off. I know not every diet works for each person. I was told yesterday by someone (who WAS that??) that since I have type O Positive blood, I don't do well on vegan diets. Well, yeah. I've experienced that. This diet is much like the South Beach and Neaderthal diet. Lots of lean meat, veggies, fruit, and few starches. I have a list of approved food and amounts of food. At first I didn't know I needed to eat so much-as much as they said. I thought that was a "no more than 7 oz fish" but no, it means you have to eat 7 oz. I haven't been eating enough. It's a 1,200 calorie a day diet which isn't extreme. The pros: I've lost 10 pounds in 2.5 weeks and 8.5 inches. I have not been hungry, though I have been bored. The supplemental smoothies and protein bars I am required to eat between meals are absolutely delicious and replace the need for sweets. I'm taking vitamins and their prescribed herbal and omega 3-6-9 pills. I'm drinking tons of water. It seems to be extremely healthy, but what's important to me is fast yet safe. Staff is super nice. The cons: It's expensive. The year-round contract does include three phases: getting the weight off, 6 weeks of stabilization where you bring back other foods, and the rest of the year where you can start over if you backslide, lose more, or just maintain by visiting them and getting their help. All the vitamins and suppliments cost not a lot but it adds up. Worst of all - no wine. I've been 2.5 weeks without any alcohol, but I really haven't missed it after about the first 3 days. Anyway, different strokes for different folks....this seems to be working, though it's slowed a bit. Any thoughts?

I think you should've made it super detailed. That would've looked cool.
Thanks for the insightful comments. I was try to go for an implied robe. Apparently, that didn't work so well. Part of the reason I left the robe out was I wanted the viewer's eye to trace a S shape as it moved from the head, along the scythe, to the spray can, and I was concerned a robe would break that up. If I have time this evening I'll try and come up with a robe I like.
As for GITD:
I've been doing some research into glow in the dark inks and I found out the following:
- They have a daylight color and a night time color, so the glow in the dark elements have to be in both parts of the design.
- GITD inks cost about 2 to 3 times that of normal inks.
I tried to keep those two facts in mind to minimize my chance of rejection. Using only 2 inks should keep the printing cost down.
Re: Satan's Salavation
Interesting concept. Whew, and I thought I tended to the darkside... Lol!
Just for the record, it's spelled with an "i" - "salivation".
Just wanted to thank everyone for all the nice comments, and for voting of course!
This design took so incredibly long. I can't even begin to count how many times I erased and redid certain parts over and over. I am used to submitting late, but this one was one of my latest submissions. Seeing it do well (at least so far) really helps take the sting out of what a pain this one was to come together.
Thanks again all!
Lagbert wrote:

I suspected price would be a prime motivator for Woot to reject GITD shirts. Good job on the research to try and mitigate that.
I also suspect things like GITD, full-shirt prints, back prints, are usually not allowed because they have much more "wow" factor than a typical design, just by virtue of being different. That would imply some kind of edge over the competition.
Of course, that's in MY head. Perhaps Woot isn't so egalitarian.
At any rate - still cool beans. It's so late inthe game, I'd hate to see you stress over a resub that wouldn't have time to collect votes. But, if you DO have time - love to see it! Who knows, it could rocket to the top the way one of the subs last week did.

The current understanding of the word is well-illustrated by a BBC survey in 2003, which found that "spastic" was the second most offensive term in the UK relating to disability
Obviously the word has a different use and understanding in the US, this came to light when Tiger Woods said it live on UK TV about his performance which drew large shock and horror from many UK residents.
The UK and USA are seperated by a common language...
Spastic is an ableist term in America too, we just really don't care. We like to pretend we're progressive in regards to social issues but... that's just untrue.

Some one else said it but the very clear S the design makes really made the shirt for me. Originally I thought the design was going to be the guns shooting horizontally at each other.
Good Job!

Perhaps an old advertising campaign? I've been dredging my memory, and the Internet, but find nothing. The image does strike a chord, but if it is from old stereo or headphone advertising, it's likely that either it's subliminal, or just synchronicity. Either way, I don't think this is intentional plagiarism.
I almost would have liked the image to be flipped, with celestial bodies on the top right at the jellyfish on the bottom left, almost like the space descending into the sea.. But the design is stunning none-the-less. got my vote! [=

Intentional or unintentional are no different to the rejectionator.
That's the thing though. I, too, have been looking for it again and I can't find it but I know I've seen it somewhere...

I know you're talking about Drakxxx but I can say with our collabs it always starts with one of his sketches. It always takes me forever to come up with something but he seems to be able to knock out a wicked layout in no time.
He'll send me a sketch. I'll either just start coloring with no edits, make a small change, or we'll toss the drawing back and forth.
"Clockmaker" was one that I made no changes too. I just did minimal clean up and colors. Same with "Close Your Eyes" from the Nightmare derby.
For "Zombie Doom Squad" I redrew the girl but left everything else exactly as it was.
I think Drakxxx will agree that "Wu Xing" was a pain in the ass. We tossed that one back and forth a few times. And doing the coloring was really tough with only 5 colors left (after black) to color 5 different dragons and not make it look flat.
"Alice in Chains" was all Drakxxx for the line art. Then I did the colors.
And for this one, it was different. Drakxxx contributed to the color. The drawing he sent me was already brown on creme. And I contributed to the line art (for better or worse) by flipping the image, dressing the guy in armor and giving him legs. Here's a shot or 3 different stages of "Samurai Showdown"
Re: SAMURAI SHOWDOWN
Thanks for the support as always everyone.
My FF11 Online character's job was SAMURAI. Man did I play the heck out of that game. It's been a few years since I last played it, but every now and then I have this dream were I see the text log from the game scrolling, and I hear the distinct sound of the samurai's GREAT KATANA striking something that will yield me pittly exps.
...anyways I couldn't think of what to do for S, so I prepared to go to bed with my woot dreams possibly unfulfilled for the week, when I had previously mentioned dream. I woke up and said SAMURAI! I'LL DRAW YOU!
The colors were actually inspired by the recent Takashi Miike file "Sukiyaki Western Django", which had a dusty, obviously western influence to it.
This is a MUST have... i really wish there were a way...
lozerette wrote:"Rejected because: Still off topic"
Really Woot? That's the reason you're giving? "Shirt" clearly starts with the letter 's' when in English.
I could understand "No original artwork" or "copywrited image" or something, but "off topic" is simply untrue.
Not arguing the rejection, just the reason given.
Agreed...If Shirt is off topic, then about 20 other S shirts are off topic...

PastorRoy, SnowQueen's comment made me take a look, and yes, you do make a lot designs. This week, you made 11 entries, and while all of them are fine to look at, none of them are anywhere near the fog. I am wondering if you took the energy you use to make lots of designs to make one or two really stand out what we would see.
I am not crazy about your vacuum cleaner drawings this week (I hate the things) and I think there are already plenty of skeleton tshirts already available, but I think some of your other drawings show real promise. I hope that your experimenting will help you find a style that will work for you, so you can have a shirt that prints in the near future.

yeah i didn't have time to read all the comments. plus sometimes when i read comments, it ruins the design for me because someone compares it to something i don't like or says something about it and then i am stuck with that thought or image in my head and end up not liking the design. so just posting my thought works for me.
still love rhinos, and really love green striped rhinos!!!
NameyMcName wrote:I think it is more that people don't realize it, the same way they don't know what cretin comes from.
It has to do with colloquial versus denotative language. The word "spastic" is no longer a pejorative term outside of jest colloquially which is, arguable, the only definition that really matters.

From HaskellWiki
1 Abstract
Warning: The Haddock docs are out of date. I'm trying to get a working haddock 2.0 running (on my windows machine).
TypeCompose provides some classes & instances for forms of type composition, as well as some modules that haven't found another home.
Besides this wiki page, here are more ways to find out about TypeCompose.
- Read the Haddock docs (with source code, additional examples, and Comment/Talk links).
- Get the code repository: darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/TypeCompose, or
- Grab a distribution tarball.
- See the version history.
- See the use of TypeCompose in DataDriven.
Please leave comments at the Talk page.
2 Type compositionThe
- Various type compositions (unary/unary, binary/unary, etc). Most are from Applicative Programming with Effects. In particular, composes functors in to functors and applicative functors (AFs) into AFs. (In contrast, monads do not in general compose.) Composition makes AF-based programming simple and elegant, partly because we don't need an AF counterpart to monad transformers.g `O` f
- Cofunctors (contravariant functors). Great for "consumer" types, just as functors suit "producer" (container) types. There are several composition options.
- Type argument flip. Handy for cofunctors: use , forFlip (->) o.(-> o)
- Constructor in pairs: .(f a, g a)
- Constructor in arrows/functions: .f a ~> g a
3 Other features
3.1 Composable bijections
Given all the type constructors and compositions of them, I found myself writing some pretty awkward code to wrap & unwrap through multiple layers. Composable bijections help a lot.The
3.2 Pair- & function-like typesThe
3.3 References
Monads with references. Direct rip-off from Global Variables in Haskell.
3.4 Titling
For giving titles to things. I know it sounds kind of random. More useful than I first thought. Used in Phooey, TV, and Eros.
3.5 Partial values
A monoid of partial values. See the teaser and solution blog posts.
