Ontario tax sale properties buyer's guide
Before you submit a tender for a tax sale property, be aware of the following:
The municipality does not hold the title of the estate or any other matter concerning the lands to be sold. The property can be much higher or much less than the tender minimum.
It is up to you to examine this property to see if it is a good investment and to investigate the statutory requirements and tax sale provisions.
Therefore, we highly recommend you to check the title and executions to see what will stay on the title and become your duty after the execution. In most cases, if at the time the tax deed is registered the estate is subject to a crown interest (such as a mortgage, lien or execution), when you become the holder it will continue to be subject to that crown interest. Is the property subject to attributable holders ' easements, limits and/or adverse possession? Does the condition of the property, land use, zoning, etc. fit into your property plans?
This process is buyer beware. You must undertake due diligence with respect to all aspects of the property.
Therefore it is important to do your homework before tender.
You may drive past the property, but site visits are not available.
Use google map street view on the property page to have a closer look. Since google map photos could be deprecated and if the property you are interesting in is not so far, it's a good idea to drive there and have a look yourself.
There is no vacant possession. The successful bidder will not receive a key to the property. The successful bidder is responsible for the eviction process if necessary.
You are responsible for any Federal or Provincial liens on title. We recommend you do a title search before submitting your bid.
Title Search Report can be ordered from the tender page on www.taxsaleshub.ca. It'll be ready in 1-2 business days.
You should investigate zoning, planning or building restrictions, and work orders.
Some municipal websites have "Find Your Zoning" page, where you can find out zoning by the roll number. And, of course, you can always go to City Hall and do your research.
You are responsible for any environmental concerns if there are contamination issues with the property.
We recommend to retain a lawyer to protect your interests before submitting a bid.
In order to determine what interests will affect a property after a tax sale, you will need to obtain an up-to-date title search report and an execution search report. Members can order reports directly from our site. An in-house title report specialist will prepare a "Title Search Report" in simple easy to understand language. The Report will tell you if any encumbrances will remain against the property after the tax sale.
By having a Title Search Report Updated on the morning that tenders must be received, you will be able to see if any new mortgages or other significant interests against the property have been registered since your first search was conducted. You might find that they have and want to withdraw your tender. You can do this by either faxing or hand-delivering a request to withdraw your tender directly to the treasurer's office. It must be received by the treasurer before the final time for receiving tenders has passed.

Responding to a question about whether Wednesday's vote by owners wiped out Seattle's future ability to create momentum for pursuing another team, NBA Commissioner David Stern said something intriguing. "Seattle," he said, "will always act in its best interests."
Spoken like the insincere, unctuous monopolist that he is, Stern used used a high-minded phrase to disguise his true meaning that Seattle tries hard but doesn't succeed.
But it's not the full Charlie Brown, because Seattle gets in its kicks. Stern and NBA keep keep moving the goalposts.
By a 22-8 vote of owners Wednesday who met for four hours in a Dallas hotel, Seattle was handed its hat a second time in five years by the NBA despite, in Stern's words, "Chris Hansen doing everything he could have done." So what, then, was the point of the exercise?
To push Sacramento to do what Seattle did not do from 2005 to 2008 — gather wealthier local ownership to buy a franchise that can force to be built a new NBA arena with a large amount of public funds the municipality can little afford. And as side benefit, inflate the equity appreciation of the other 29 franchises.
Well done, Mr. Hansen. And the reward for being used? A commitment to an expansion team, right?
"Just our promise of fair dealing," said Stern, "and ultimate consideration on our part."
Whoo. Hoo. That and $3 won't even get service at Howard Schultz's little coffee shop.
The fact that none of this can be a surprise does not lessen the emotional impact for fans of Seattle pro hoops, not to mention Hansen and his buddy, Steve Ballmer. Which helps explain why Hansen, responding with cool defiance on his website sonicsarena.com after the vote, wrote that he "looks forward to hearing back on our agreement to join the Maloofs as limited partners in the Kings."
That refers to his "backup" deal announced Saturday, in anticipation of being denied relocation, to buy 20 percent of the franchise from the owners, the Maloof family, for $115 million, as they continue to operate the team in Sactown.
Stern, on the other hand, believes the Maloof family will come to their few senses and sell their 65 percent share of the team to the Sacramento group led by Vivek Ranadive for $341 million, instead of the $406 million offered by Hansen. Apparently, the Maloofs are as dim as everyone keeps saying.
"It is my expectation that we'll be able to make a deal with the Maloofs and the Ranadive group to transfer title of the team in Sacramento," Stern said. "It's not a certainty, but we're going to work (toward) that result."
The positions of Hansen and Stern are in direct conflict. And as the cartel leader, Stern seems fated to win, because the NBA claims the right to veto minority owners as well as majority owners.
I wrote Monday that Hansen's "backup" bid was a misstep because even if it worked, the outcome potentially was too much like the wretched, but NBA-approved, ownership of the Sonics by Clay Bennett, who spent two years tearing down the team and pulling it away from the community in preparation for the 2008 relocation to Oklahoma City.
But seeing that Hansen didn't get so much as a potted plant for his efforts, and presuming the Maloofs are smart enough to figure out that $406 million is more than $341 million, what could it hurt? Are the Maloofs going to have another gold star ripped from their NBA epaulets? Will Hansen be fined by a league to which he does not belong? Will Seattle be denied a team a day past forever?
Yes, even to a Seattle resident, the idea of keeping the Maloofs around another year is unpleasant. And the idea of Hansen partnering with them to help move forward the infant arena plan is as insufferable in Sacramento as Bennett was here in 2007 stomping around the weeds of the Muckleshoot wetlands claiming to be looking for an arena site.
But really, that isn't the point. The point is to have some leverage right now. Hansen had a deal with the Maloofs, and neither party feels compelled to go away yet. But they probably would, if the NBA offered a commitment to a 2014-15 expansion team so that the arena project can move ahead.
Sacramento no more deserved to lose the Kings than Seattle deserved to lose the Sonics, a plan set in motion in 2005 when Stern nudged his pal Bennett into the face of then-owner Schultz. Neither city was a bad basketball market; they were both victims of desperate, foolish owners.
But the NBA takes no responsibility; it merely takes advantage. That view would ebb if the NBA decided to make good with a bidder "who did everything he could" and his partner, whom Stern called "the prototypical NBA owner."
But that would mean losing a tool against the next city who needed help with its "incumbency" in a cash-strapped municipality.

PALM BEACH, FL—This week's league meetings don't formally include a new Collective Bargaining Agreement as a main topic of discussion, but it would seem to be foremost on everyone's mind.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met with reporters Monday afternoon and most of the questions concerned the current CBA and the possibility of its nullification on Nov. 8. Should owners vote to void the agreement, 2010 would become an uncapped year and '11 could result in labor unrest.
"We are doing a tremendous amount of analysis to understand the true impact of the deal," Goodell told reporters of the current CBA, which allows players to share in total football revenue. It's a model that's thought to be causing financial distress for several franchises.
"I think we knew the pendulum would swing very much in favor of the players," Goodell said when asked what the thinking was when owners agreed to the current CBA two years ago. "I don't know that anyone thought it would swing as much as it has."
Pursuit of a new labor agreement and nullification of the current CBA will be more intensely debated at the league's May meetings, and Goodell said, "I anticipate something will happen just before the end of summer or (early in the) fall."
What exactly does happen will be critical to the Jaguars, one of the league's small-market, low-revenue teams that has intense interest in the game's threatening economic landscape.
"We're dealing in an environment now with a great more risk," Goodell said, referring to the current CBA and an American economy that teeters on the brink of recession. "I hope it doesn't come to that," he added when asked about an uncapped year in 2010. "I hope we can come to an agreement" with the players.
On everyone's lips is this question: Are we seeing the final years of the salary cap? Goodell clearly favors a salary cap system, but he acknowledged the possibility that it could expire.
"We will continue to look for some system that works," he said. "There are clubs that believe they can build a winner without paying high-priced contracts."
In other words, there are teams in the league that believe the salary cap system and its minimum-cap requirement will force them to lose money. Goodell was referring to teams that believe they can operate beneath the minimum and still remain competitive.
"I think the players need to appreciate the risks and the great costs at generating revenues," Goodell said.
When asked if there's enough "leaguethink" mentality among owners to allow small-market teams to prosper, Goodell said: "Absolutely; you saw it in the postseason this year."
On other issues:
• Goodell clearly favors the proposed playoff re-seeding format that would strip division winners of their guaranteed home game in the playoffs and, instead, re-seed division winners according to record.
"We should give incentive to win every game. The fans should expect that," Goodell said.
The final weekend of last season resulted in several surrender games and there's a camp of supporters who believe re-seeding is needed for the purpose of eliminating such lackluster efforts. Owners are to vote on the proposal this week.
• Goodell announced that the '08 season will begin on Thursday, Sept. 4, with the Super Bowl-champion Giants hosting the Redskins. The other prime-time games for that weekend are: Chicago at Indianapolis on Sunday, Sept. 7, and Minnesota at Green Bay and Denver at Oakland in a Monday night, Sept. 8, doubleheader. The league is expected to announce its full schedule next week.
• Troubled Titans cornerback Pacman Jones still has to earn reinstatement, but Goodell has no problem with the Cowboys attempting to trade for Jones, despite his suspension.
"He has to accept responsibility for his actions and, when he does, I will consider him for reinstatement," Goodell said. "If he doesn't meet that status, I don't feel any obligation to reinstate him."
• "Spygate" apparently is far from over. Goodell said he's "very anxious" to meet with former Patriots videographer Matt Walsh, who claims to have been ordered by Patriots coach Bill Belichick to spy on the St. Louis Rams prior to the 2001 season's Super Bowl, which was won by the Patriots in an upset. Goodell said Walsh is seeking some sort of protection for providing his testimony.
"If he has a tape, I would be interested to get it," said Goodell, adding that the league remains aggressive in its pursuit of "Spygate" and spy-related tactics. "We were the ones who discovered it, disclosed it and disciplined it. I believe in our integrity and we're going to take steps to reassure our fans of that."
• The "tuck-in-the-hair" proposal made by the Kansas City Chiefs could be tabled for more discussion and a decision may not be rendered until May's meetings. "I am aware of the sensitivities. I'd like to hear the players' sensitivities to it," Goodell said.

Here's the official word, courtesy of NBC News' tweets:
-- " JUST IN: Jay Leno will depart NBC's 'Tonight Show' in Spring 2014; Jimmy Fallon to replace, NBC says."
-- " MORE: 'Tonight Show' will return to New York City in 2014; Lorne Michaels will be executive producer."
As our Monkey See friend Linda Holmes has correctly said, the "late-night wars are so boring." Still, as The New York Times points out, The Tonight Show is "the most storied and successful program in late-night television." And this will return the show to where it started — New York.
Oh, and this time the change is for good, Leno insists. In 2009, you'll recall, he left for prime time. The handover of Tonight to Conan O'Brien didn't work. After eight months, O'Brien left the network and Leno headed back to late night. ( Correction at 5:10 a.m. ET, April 4: Earlier, based on information from the Times, we were incorrect about how long O'Brien hosted the show; we've corrected the time reference.)
But, Leno tells the Times:
"The main difference between this and the other time is I'm part of the process. The last time the decision was made without me. I came into work one day and — you're out. ... [Now] there really aren't any complications like there were the last time. ... This time it feels right."
The Jay-to-Jimmy switch has been talked about for weeks, of course. Last night, the two funnymen sang about the saga.
Update at 1:50 p.m. ET: We're adding a question (it's not a scientific survey of public opinion, by the way).

Hoogle is a Haskell API search engine, which allows you to search many standard Haskell libraries by either function name, or by approximate type signature.
- Online version: http://haskell.org/hoogle
- Hackage page: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/hoogle
- GitHub repository: https://github.com/ndmitchell/hoogle
- Darcs repository: http://code.haskell.org/hoogle
- Bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/ndmitchell/issues/list
- Manual: https://github.com/ndmitchell/hoogle/blob/master/README.md
Below is the old manual, which is gradually being phased out.
Hoogle Use
Hoogle can be used in several ways:
- Online, with the web interface: http://haskell.org/hoogle
- In the Haskell IRC channel, using the Lambdabot plugin, @hoogle and @hoogle+
- With the command line version available on Hackage.
This section describes Hoogle searches, and the flags available from the Hoogle command line tool. The information applies only to Hoogle 4 and is still being fleshed out.
Before explaining the syntax of searches, we first give a list of example searches with their meaning:
- "map" Search for the text "map"
- "con map" Search for the text "map" and the text "con"
- "a -> a" Search for the type "a -> a"
- ":: a -> a" Search for the type "a -> a"
- "a" Search for the text "a"
- ":: a" Search for the type "a"
- "id :: a -> a" Search for the text "id" and the type "a -> a"
Searches can be either textual (a list of words), or by type (a type signature) or both. A type search may optionally start with a "::" symbol. A search is considered a text search unless it contains a combination of text and symbols, or if it starts with (::). To search for both a type and a name, place a :: between them, for example "undefined :: a"
Modules: Searches can be restricted to a particular module with +Module.Name, or to avoid a module with -Module.Name. The command Module.Name.Foo is treated as +Module.Name Foo.
Packages: Searches can be restricted to a particular package with +packagename, or to avoid a package with -package. By default Hoogle will search a standard set of packages.
Command Line Search Flags
Flags can be specified as --flag or /flag. Flags requiring arguments are specified as --flag=arg or /flag=arg. Anything which is not a flag is counted as a search query. Because a console will treat -> as a redirection, you can do -# to get the right character.
- -V, --version Print out version information
- -?, --help Show help on the command line flags
- -v --verbose Verbose mode
- --color Show color output, requires an ANSI compliant terminal, defaults to false
- --count=int Maximum number of results to print, defaults to showing all results
- --start=int 1-based index of first result to print, defaults to 1
- --info Show extended information for the first results
Database Creation
Hoogle has both binary databases (extension .hoo) and textual databases (extension .txt). Textual database files are a list of functions and their types, along with information about type synonyms, instances etc. The textual database files can be generated by Haddock with the --hoogle flag. Support for this is now in Cabal with runhaskell Setup haddock --hoogle.
A more detailed tutorial style style post on database creation is available on the author's blog.
You can create some default databases with (Windows users, please read Hoogle data on Windows first):
$ hoogle data
or you can create an extended database with
$ hoogle data all
Converting text databases to binary databases
A text database can be converted to a binary database with the command hoogle convert file.txt. Any package dependencies should be specified with +package or --data=package.hoo, and will require the binary databases for those packages. The output file can be controlled with --output=file.hoo.
Merging binary databases
Multiple binary databases can be merged with hoogle combine file1.hoo file2.hoo. The result would be written as default.hoo. As before, --output=out.hoo can be specified.
The following script (from Matt Brown) may be helpful:
$cat hoogleCombiner.sh #!/bin/bash function combines { for f in ~/.hoogle/*.hoo do echo -n " $(readlink -f $f)" done } hoogle --output=$(readlink -f ~/.hoogle.hoo) combine $(combines)
Simon Michaels suggests:
#!/bin/bash # # Search for hoogle databases in or under the directories/files specified # as arguments or hard-coded below (see allHoogleDbs), and combine them as # ~/.hoogle/default.hoo. Lets you search all your code (and installed # haskell libs) at once. # # Usage: # $ hoogle-update-db # $ alias hoogle="hoogle --i=$HOME/.hoogle" # $ hoogle something # nb current hoogle cli quirks: path options should have two hyphens, one # equals, and no tildes, eg: --d=NOTILDEFILEPATH #set -x ARGS=$*
function allHoogleDbs { for p in $ARGS ~/src/ ~/.cabal/share/ # add paths here do echo -n " $(findHoogleDbs $p)" done } function findHoogleDbs { find $1 -name '*.hoo' }
function combineOpts { for f in $* do echo -n " $(readlink -f $f)" done }
dbs=$(allHoogleDbs) echo Found $dbs mkdir -p ~/.hoogle hoogle --output=$(readlink -f ~/.hoogle/default.hoo) combine $(combineOpts $dbs) echo Created ~/.hoogle/default.hoo
Installing databases from Hackage
Packages on Hackage usually have .txt databases generated for you, so you can download those. You can find them in the html directories under the name [package-name].txt. So, for example, for diagrams-core the database can be found here: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/diagrams-core/0.6.0.2/doc/html/diagrams-core.txt
Scope of Web Searches
Using the standard web interface, Hoogle searches: array, arrows, base, bytestring, Cabal, cgi, containers, directory, filepath, haskell-src, HUnit, mtl, old-locale, old-time, packedstring, parallel, parsec, pretty, process, QuickCheck, random, stm, template-haskell, time, xhtml.
Using the Gtk2hs Hoogle, Hoogle searches only in the Gtk2hs package.
Developer Flags
,f (ArgNone Web) ["w","web"] [PCmdLine] "Run as though it was a CGI script" ,f (ArgNone Test) ["test"] [PCmdLine] "Run the regression tests" ,f (ArgStr Dump) ["dump"] [PCmdLine] "Dump a database for debugging" ,f (ArgFileIn DataFile ["hoo"]) ["d","data"] [PCmdLine,PMultiple] "Database file" ,f (ArgNone Verbose) ["v","verbose"] [PCmdLine] "Display verbose information" ,f (ArgNone Debug) ["debug"] [PCmdLine] "Debugging only" ,f (ArgFileIn TestFile ["txt"]) ["testfile"] [PCmdLine,PMultiple] "Run tests from a file" ,f (ArgFileIn Rank ["txt"]) ["rank"] [PCmdLine,PMultiple] "Generate ranking scores"
Hoogle Integration Modes
Hoogle can be integrated with various programs, listed below. Most of these integration modes were contributed by users, and users are encouraged to add more programs to this list.
Firefox Integration
From the search bar: Go to the Hoogle website in Firefox and click on "Search plugin", top right hand corner (some versions of firefox instead will have an "add Hoogle" option in the list of search engines when you are viewing the Hoogle page). This will add a Hoogle entry to the search box in Firefox.
As a keyword search: You can set up Hoogle as a keyword search in Firefox. This means that you can type h map directly into the location bar and you'll jump directly to the Hoogle search results page.
- Visit Hoogle's web interface: http://haskell.org/hoogle
- Right-click on the text input box and click "Add a Keyword for this Search..."
- Give it a nice short keyword like "h".
If you want to also search for special symbols in Firefox keyword search, modify the keyword search URL to be: javascript:window.location.href="http://haskell.org/hoogle?q=" + encodeURIComponent("%s")
Chrome Integration
Add to list of available search engines: Exactly as for the search bar in Firefox above.
As a keyword search: Under Chrome Preferences (Basic), select Manage Search Engines. You can then edit the keyword box appropriately.
To get the new Hoogle engine into the "default" section from the "other" section, make it default, and then re-select what was the original default.
(Works with Chrome on Mac OS X, at least).
GHCi Integration
Ever feel like having access to hoogle whilst messing around in GHCi? It's relatively easy to integrate the two.
The following will install hoogle as a shell command, and configure GHCi to have commands ":hoogle" showing all matches, and ":doc" showing haddock documentation for the first match:
- cabal install hoogle
- echo >> ~/.ghci ':def hoogle \x -> return $ ":!hoogle \"" ++ x ++ "\""'
- echo >> ~/.ghci ':def doc \x -> return $ ":!hoogle --info \"" ++ x ++ "\""'
NB. the above wraps the argument in quotes before passing to the shell command, so there is no need to supply quotes; eg.
:hoogle map :hoogle (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
On Windows you should add the same lines
:def hoogle \x -> return $ ":!hoogle \"" ++ x ++ "\"" :def doc \x -> return $ ":!hoogle --info \"" ++ x ++ "\""
to file (XP/2003):
C:\Documents and Settings\[your windows account]\Application Data\ghc\ghci.conf
or(Windows Vista/7):
C:\users\[your windows account]\Application Data\ghc\ghci.conf
Installation from source (without cabal)
First, you need to download and compile Hoogle. Then, we want to move hoogle to somewhere in your system's $PATH
(open a terminal and type echo $PATH
to see where this is). I suggest ~/bin, although you might want to go for /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, etc.
Copy the Hoogle binary and hoogle.txt to the directory you chose. If you're using a version of hoogle pulled straight from darcs, you can ignore everything up until the 'Next, we need to integrate it into GHCi' bit. Otherwise:
There's a problem in that hoogle doesn't look for hoogle.txt in the system $PATH
, it only looks in the current directory. This is a slight pain but is easily worked around: rename the hoogle binary to hoogle-bin, then create a new text file called 'hoogle' with the following contents:
#! /bin/bash hoogle-bin -l /path/to/your/chosen/directory/hoogle.txt "$@"
chmod hoogle to make it executable (try chmod +x hoogle
). Now you should be able to run hoogle requests from the shell. Try a few of the examples above.
How it works
Next, we need to integrate it into GHCi. We can execute shell commands with GHCi via :def
. Load up GHCi, and type the following:
:def hoogle \x -> return $ ":!hoogle " ++ x
If this executes cleanly, you should be able to run hoogle commands from GHCi via :hoogle
, i.e. :hoogle map
or :hoogle "(a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]"
. Be careful: you need the extra quotes when hoogling types, at least on my system. :ho
works as an abbreviation of :hoogle
(just :h
clashes with :help
Finally, we want to make this persist across GHCi sessions. GHCi loads a file called ~/.ghci before running, so simply stick the above :def
in that file and all should work.

Emacs Integration
haskell-mode from versions 2.4 onwards have the function haskell-hoogle, which will hoogle the identifier at point. Setup:
(require 'haskell-mode) (define-key haskell-mode-map "\C-ch" 'haskell-hoogle) ;(setq haskell-hoogle-command "hoogle")
You will need a web browser configured for best results. Here's an example setup for Safari:
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-safari) (defun browse-url-safari (url &optional new-window) "Open URL in a new Safari window." (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "URL: ")) (unless (string= "" (shell-command-to-string (concat "open -a Safari " url))) (message "Starting Safari...") (start-process (concat "open -a Safari " url) nil "open -a Safari " url) (message "Starting Safari... done")))
Alternately, you can build the command-line hoogle (darcs repo below) and uncomment the third line above, then results will appear in a buffer.
Firefox Ubiquity Integration
Ubiquity provides a graphical command-line for Firefox. To install Ubiquity, see the tutorial.
To install the Ubiquity Hoogle command, visit the command's home page and click Subscribe... when asked whether you want to install it. You may also want to look at the introductory article.
This work is licensed under the GPL version 2.0. By submitting any patches to Hoogle you agree to license them under the BSD license, or to assign copyright to Neil Mitchell who will include them under the GPL (either one, your choice). This is so I can relicense Hoogle under the BSD at a later date if that proves beneficial to the Haskell community.
The work is intended to be helpful, open and free. If the license doesn't meet your needs then talk to me.
The Source Code
$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/hoogle/
Contributions are most welcome. Hoogle is written in Haskell 98 + Heirarchical Modules, I do not wish to change this. Other than that, I'm pretty flexible about most aspects of Hoogle. The bug tracker has many outstanding tasks, but please contact me if you have thoughts on doing something major to Hoogle, so I can give some advice.
Theoretical Foundations
A lot of related work was done by Rittri [1] and Runciman [2] in the late 80's. Since then Di Cosmo [3] has produced a book on type isomorphisms, which is also related. Unfortunately the implementations that accompanied the earlier works were for functional languages that have since become less popular, and to my knowledge no existing functional programming language has a tool such as Hoogle.
- Mikael Rittri, Using Types as Search Keys in Function Libraries. Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Functional programming languages and computer architecture: 174-183, June 1989. (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=99384)
- Colin Runciman and Ian Toyn, Retrieving reusable software components by polymorphic type. Journal of Functional Programming 1 (2): 191-211, April 1991. (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=99383)

I have given two presentations on type searching in Hoogle:
- December 2005, York University - information on Hoogle type searching in versions 1 to 3.
- August 2008, AngloHaskell - information on type searching in versions 1 to 4. Audio is also available from that link.
Similar Tools
I didn't know of any similar tools before starting development, and no other tool has really influenced this tool (except the first on this list). The follow are provided for comparison.
- Google - Google rock!
- Hayoo - Similar to Hoogle, but with less focus on type search
- Krugle - Search code, no Haskell :(
The code is all © Neil Mitchell 2004-2010. The initial version was done in my own time, and further refinement and reimplementation was done as part of my PhD. During Summer 2008 I was funded to full-time on Hoogle by Google Summer of Code with the haskell.org mentoring organisation. Since then I have been working on Hoogle in my spare time. Various people have given lots of useful ideas, including my supervisor Colin Runciman, and various members of the Plasma group. In addition the following people have also contributed some code or significant debugging work:
- Thomas "Bob" Davie
- Don Stewart
- Thomas Jäger
- Gaal Yahas
- Mike Dodds
- Niklas Broberg
- Esa Ilari Vuokko
- Udo Stenzel
- Henk-Jan van Tuyl
- Gwern Branwen
- Tillmann Rendel
- David Waern
- Ganesh Sittampalam
- Duncan Coutts
- Peter Collingbourne
- Andrea Vezzosi
- Ian Lynagh
In previous versions, all the data was taken from Zvon's Haskell Guide. Thanks to their open and friendly policy of allowing the data to be reused, this project became possible. More recent versions use the Hierarchical Libraries as distributed with GHC, and databases generated by Haddock.

Also, if you don't have any plans this weekend, why not come to sunny Philadelphia for the 2012 Philadelphia Bike Expo,
In particular, on Saturday the 27th at 11:00am, why not hear me talk for like 45 minutes?
I promise I'll have you out in plenty of time to catch "Yoga for Cyclists." However, I don't promise not to use the 45 minutes to read from a Shimano Hollowtech II instruction manual in all six languages. Look, I'm not going to insult you by saying my talk will be the greatest thing you'll ever hear, but I also won't accept any excuses that you have something better to do, since obviously if you're in Philadelphia that's an out-and-out-lie. At best it should be just like a cyclocross race for me, in that I'll be doing a bunch of driving just to get jeered at and humiliated for three-quarters of an hour.
Hope to see you there, though I suspect the feeling isn't mutual on your end.
Speaking of liars, some people in France have just announced the official route for The 100th Annual Running of the Cheats:
Despite the recent shitstorm, optimism is running high in the cycling press that we have entered into a new age of honesty and cleanliness in cyclesport, and journalists are already calling this the "Tour of Renewal." Oh wait, no they're not--that was the 1999 Tour de France after the Festina scandal. By the way, if you're wondering who won the 1999 Tour de France, the latest answer is "nobody:"
The 1999 Tour de France was the 86th Tour de France, taking place from July 3 to July 25, 1999. Having been stripped of the win owing to his use of banned substances, Lance Armstrong's 1999 win, his first of 7 consecutive wins and the most in Tour history, no longer applies; therefore there was no official winner of the 1999 Tour De France.
Well that makes sense. After all, it's only been 13 years. No reason they can't pick a winner out of this scrupulous cast of characters:
Frankly though, I'm not sure it's worth it. Maybe they need to stick a spork in the Tour de France already, call it overcooked, and just feed it to the dog. Do we even need it anymore? I mean, what's the likelihood that this rolling debacle is going to attract any new fans? Even before Shitstorm 2012 it was incredibly annoying to turn your friends and family on to it. First, you have to explain to them why cycling is a team sport, even though they don't pass a ball back and forth. Then, you have to explain why the guy who won the stage isn't winning the entire race. Then, you have to explain the various points classifications. And if all that wasn't bad enough, now you also have to explain that we don't really know who actually won any Tour de France since like 1990. The payoff is supposed to be finding out who gets the yellow jersey, but ultimately nobody even gets a yellow jersey, and all the cycling fan gets is a pair of blue balls. Basically, you'd have to be an idiot to want follow a sporting event like that--which is saying a lot given the general level of idiocy among sports fans.
Then again, fans are only as smart as the riders:
Meanwhile, remember the carousel Kickstarter I mentioned yesterday? Yes? No? Maybe? Eff me? Well that wasn't very nice. Anyway, the "curator" of that Kickstarter has apparently added a new pledge level in my honor:
I'm honored, though at the same time I'm disappointed. Who cares about a painting of the tape? What she really needs to paint is a triptych depicting how the tape wound up where it did.
Also entering into a new era of honesty is Budnitz Bicycles. Previously The Budnitz used to make outrageous claims about how you need to spend well over $5,000 to get a decent city bike, but in this video that was forwarded to me by a reader it appears he's finally ready to tell the truth about his product:
Budnitz: Le Grand Tour from Budnitz Bicycles on Vimeo.
First, we meet a typical Budnitz owner, as played by forgotten electronic musician and noted vegan Moby:
Every man in Gentrified Brooklyn currently sports the highwater pants/no socks look. I'm not sure where it came from, but I suspect there are two main sources, which are: 1) a deep-rooted desire to look like Audrey Hepburn; and 2) the fact that the trendy neighborhoods of Brooklyn are mostly located in flood zones. Also, the look seems to have spread all over the country, and it's entertaining to consider that people everywere are walking around like this mostly because Gowanus has become fashionable.
Anyway, like a typical Budnitz owner, Moby neglects to lock up his bike when he steps into the café for his douchespresso, at which point a flat-brim doofus who's mad because Moby priced him out of the trendiest neighborhood and into the adjacent second-trendiest neighborhood takes his revenge by stealing the Budnitz:
He then rides around on sidewalk:
Where he does a bunch of half-assed tricks:
But then he notices that maddening, Edgar Allan Poe-ian creaking:
He tries another stupid whip-skid, thinking that will cure it:
And then he tries some more sidewalk riding:
He even tries to pinpoint where the creaking is coming from by isolating each wheel as he rides:
But still, creaks, creaks, creaks--in the clamor and the clangor of the Budnitz!
Even the frantic accordion music can't drown it out.
So finally he's like, "Fuck it," and he just gives the bike back to Moby:
Who is none the wiser:
Because he's none the wiser about anything. He has no idea his bike is overpriced. He has no idea it's just a 29er without the frame clearance. He doesn't know a bike is not supposed to creak constantly. He doesn't know he's paying a Budnitz a month to live in a one-bedroom apartment on top of an oil spill. He's just a sockless interloper, doing his part to make the city unlivable by moving the decimal point on every price tag one place to the right.
Speaking of bike thieves, watch out for James (forwarded by another reader):
Don't buy a road bike or abound from James - $1 (central austin)

James stools me a 1967 Schwinn, and it was n jot only stolen but was not a67. Dint waste your time buy new or from someone trusted on Ebay,idk just don't but from him, he will tell you he's in law , and is not from Austin, all lies. Be aware craiglisters!!!
Guy seems pretty sharp, I can't believe James managed to fool him.

When you own a lawn, one of the most common problems you may encounter is pest infestation. Because of these pests, properties become unhealthy and harmful. Not to mention, pests can ruin your lawns which can cause you hundreds or thousands of dollars. To deal with this issue, the ideal option is to look for experts in pest control. Home experts state some questions you need to ask before hiring one.
– Do the experts have a license? When looking for pest control experts, the first thing you need to ask them is their license. This is very important since these professionals make use of different types of method or treatment. Thus, it is important that these experienced pros know how to use their treatments appropriately to provide better results.
– Do they offer a free estimate and inspection? Pest control services can be very expensive. Therefore, you can ask an expert if they can provide you with a free estimate and inspection. With this, you can easily determine the costs of getting rid of pests and ensure that all issues with regard to pest can be eliminated properly. This is also a smart option if you want to save money and set enough budget for this specific reason.
– When are the experts available? Most pest control experts provide services during weekdays. However, some homeowners only have time to deal with their lawns on weekends. As a result of this, it is best that you ask experts when they can provide you with their services. Reputable pest control pros can provide you services during the weekend and they can answer all your queries 24/7. Since this problem is considered a top priority, you should also expect to be prioritized by the people you seek help from.
– What pest treatments do they use? Finally, it is best that you ask experts what pest treatments they can provide you. Reputable and trusted providers can offer you a wide variety of solutions from natural and non-organic solutions. In this way, you can choose the best treatment you need for your lawns. You also have the option to choose a one-time solution or a longer lasting one.
By knowing all these, homeowners can easily and efficiently get rid of pests. Although they can opt to do all these themselves, choosing to seek help from those who know best is a very smart thing to do.

For Sale by Owner. Is It A Good Idea?
FSBO (pronounced fizz-bo), or For Sale By Owner, is a way of selling your home without the use of a professional real estate agent or broker. The idea behind FSBO is that by selling your home yourself, you save the approximate 6% that would be the agents' commission.
6% may not sound like a lot, but it can add up, especially on more expensive homes. But before you run off and decide to sell your home FSBO, you must remember that to get a savings like that, there must be a cost. So what's the catch? Selling FSBO is hard. A lot harder.
Only about 10% of sellers that decide to do FSBO are successful at it. And not all of them end up saving themselves money. FSBO sellers often end up accepting a lower price for their home than they would with an agent.
There are of course other issues as well. Can you afford to make selling your home your full-time job? Because for a lot of FSBO sellers, that's exactly what it is. Do you have the time and capital to spend on the marketing, advertising, inspections, paperwork, phone calls, showings, and problems that come up when any home is sold?
Selling with a professional agent also has other advantages. An agent can get your home listed on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and other popular websites where not only homebuyers but also other agents can easily find it. Professional real estate agents also have an extensive network that allows them to more easily find a buyer.
So before you decide to sell your home yourself, thoughtfully consider just how much time and effort you can spare for selling your home, as well as how important it is that your home sell sooner rather than later.

Navratri, the nine-night festival, honors Goddess Durga, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswathi in South India . It is known as Bommala Koluvu in Andhra Pradesh, Bathukamma in Telangana and Navarathri in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Below is a brief idea on how to perform Navratri puja as per South India method.
In 2024, the date of Navratri is from October 3 to October 12. Chaitra month rituals are observed from April 9 to April 17. Navratri is observed as Dussehra in Karnataka, where it is observed for ten days. The main event during Navratri inSouth India is the display of dolls and idols – Kolu and the placing of Kalash, which represents Goddess.

Navratri puja might seem a huge complicated event for many. You can always perform a simple puja by worshipping the Goddess on nine days by lighting a lamp and offering a fruit as prasadam. Rituals are not important but devotion is important.
Here is a step by step method on how to perform Navratri Puja.
Getting Ready
- Get the house cleaned and ready. You are inviting Goddess into the home. Usually this is done on the Amavasya day, a day before the beginning of Navratri.
- Mango leaf festoons are installed on doors, windows and in puja room. Fresh Kolams are drawn.
- If you are keeping Kolu, get all the Kolu dolls ready. Repair broken pieces and use natural colors to paint them.
- Decide upon the Bommai Kolu Theme.
- Plan early about the pooja prasadam (naivedyam) and also about the gifts that you plan to give to women guests.
Requirements for Navratri Puja
- If you are keeping Kolu dolls, purchase new dolls at least a couple of new ones. The most important doll needed is the Marapachi dolls (Male and Female pair of dolls).
- A pot for Kalasha or Kumbha (brass pot)
- Face of Goddess to be stuck on Kalasha. Some people do not opt for this.
- Sweets
- Ingredients of the Prasadam to be prepared (this depends on what naivedya you are preparing)
- Betel leaves
- Betel nuts
- Bananas
- Coconut
- Usual fruits
- Usual pooja items like lamp, incense, agarbattis etc.
- Lotus flower for Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Lakshmi. Jasmine for Durga. Avoid wild flowers.
If you are giving gifts to women invited for Navratri Pooja, then the bag should contain betel leaves, betel nuts, a pair of round turmeric roots, a coconut, fruits, sweets, flowers, a small gift. You can also include cosmetics like eye kohl, kumkuma, bangles, comb etc.
A day before Navratri Puja
Navratri Puja begins on the Bhadrapada Amavasya day or Purattasi Amavasya day, a day before Navratri begins. All arrangements are done on this day. In some communities male members perform Tarpan or Shardham dedicated to dead ancestors in the morning.- In the evening, Kalasha or Purna Kumbha is prepared. This is an invitation to Goddess to enter your home.
- Purna Kumbha or Kalash is kept on a kolam in such a place that there is space behind to keep the Bommai Kolu. You can attach a face of Goddess to the Purna Kumbha and decorate the Kumbha with jewelry, turmeric, sandal paste, flowers etc.
- Those who do not keep Kolu, keep the Kalash in the Pooja room.
- Betel leaves, Betel nuts, a coconut is placed in front of the Kalasha. Cooked rice or boiled and sweetened milk is kept as prasadam or naivedya in front of the Kalasha.
- This Kalasha is to be kept for next nine days – it symbolizes Goddess.
- A lamp is lit every evening and morning for nine days.
- Normal puja is performed.
Arranging the Bommai Kolu
Next you can start arranging the Kolu dolls. Some people keep Lord Ganesha on the first step. Others opt for the Marapachi dolls.
Navratri Puja Begins
Women perform all the pujas during Navratri.
- You have already installed the Goddess in the form of Purna Kumbha. Light a lamp morning and evening on all nine days.
- Elaborate pujas are conducted in the evening.
- Other women are invited on any one of the evening.
- The first three days is dedicated to Goddess Durga.
- The next three days is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi.
- The final three days is dedicated to Goddess Saraswathi.
- Fresh kolams are done on all nine days.
- Shlokas that are recited on nine days include Durga Ashtothram, Devi Mahatmyam, Shyamala Dandakam, Lakshmi Sahasranamam, Lakshmi Ashtothram, Lalitha Sahasranama, Saraswati Stotram, Saraswathi Ashtothram.
- Shlokas are recited while performing the puja.
Sweets and naivedya prepared are shared with neighbors, relatives and friends.
A kannika (young girl) is invited and she is given lunch and new clothes on the first day. Some people do the Kannika Pooja it on all nine days.
The lamp is diffused after the puja daily.
The puja concludes on the ninth day evening.

Vacation over for Big Sis S and kind of for us. Big Sis S proclaimed that it was her best vacation ever and why, 'coz she was allowed to stay up til midnight almost every day of last week. With a party almost every other day, a sleepover, a late night show of "The Princess and the Frog", dancing past midnight on New Year Eve and a birthday bash at her favorite jumping place, no doubt she had fun. It turns out Baby A likes a lot of hullabaloo and jumping. She was sleepy and yet dancing with the older kids on 31st.I had a very relaxed time too, watched "3 Idiots" and ate, ate and ate. Did I say I ate, a lot.
I seriously wanted to go on a diet of nothing but salads from Sunday but then D made these delicious egg rolls and I thought "the salad can wait to add woe to Monday morning blues, why spoil Sunday".
Egg Rolls are the most popular of all street foods in Kolkata. In fact "phuchka"(golgappa) and "egg roll" were the only street food that I was allowed to eat as an angsty teenager. "Phuchka" was more of a girlie kind of a thing and though some of my friends survived on a diet of "phuchka" and "tak water"(sour tamarind water), I wasn't one of them. When it came to egg roll it was another story. I can give anything for the authentic egg roll.
Even now when I go back home, the first thing I reach out for after the jet lag period is the egg roll at the street corner. That upsets my now mollycoddled tummy, I take entroquinols and after the dosage is done, again reach out for the egg roll.
All egg rolls or egg chicken rolls are not created equal and so do not spoil your senses by chomping on a egg roll at a tom-dick-harry place. If in Kolkata go out with a connoisseur to the right place. Hot Kati on the corner of Park Street was my personal favorite. Their rolls were oh so good. My Baba used to get egg roll from a place near home (some branch of Rahmania) which was also great. D's town has its own favorite egg roll stall and they swear by it.Every para(neighborhood) has their own famous egg roll counter and also their very own famous phuchkawala and you need to know the locals for that information.Update 01/07: Jhantu's Roll on the corner of NMC and Brabourne is another one that we would haunt often.
Here in the US, the Kati Roll Company in NYC makes great egg rolls. But everyone does not live in NYC so then what does one do ? You make your own of course. D makes great egg rolls, really really great. Not only me, everyone else who has had it, loves it. It is very close to the authentic one and his version is the quickest and easiest . He uses Kawan Malaysian paratha as the base and so no doubt he serves delicious rolls in less than 6 min flat.
Kolkata style egg roll is the perfect fast food in my imagination. Standing on the corner of a busy city street, biting into an egg roll, tearing the wrapper around, gulping a coke on the way back from work or college is something I would love to do maybe everyday. Ok, except the
Follow this step by step recipe and you can make and enjoy yours too.

Buy Malayasian Paratha. This is really IMPORTANT. The quality of the Paratha plays an important part in egg roll. If making your own paratha, make the dough with Maida(All Purpose Flour) and enough shortening so that the paratha is very soft and pliable, You can use tortilla or the regular parathas, but it WILL NOT taste the same. The Malaysian parathas are very soft and make perfect rolls
Heat a tawa or a griddle on the stove. Put the paratha and cook both sides. Remove and keep aside
Beat one egg + 1 tbsp whole milk + little salt
Smear the tawa/griddle/frying pan with little oil and pour the egg. Spread it out in a circle.
Once the egg is a little cooked on the edges, put the paratha on top
When the edges of the egg starts browning flip the paratha + egg.Give it a couple of seconds
Remove and assemble the filing. The filling goes only on the egg side.The standard filing for a Kolkata egg roll is thinly sliced red onions, thinly chopped green chili and thinly sliced cucumber. Squirt a little lime juice on them and put the filling on the center. Add tomato ketchup in a thin squiggly line along the center.
Roll, wrap it up in a foil or any paper, even newsprint and eat.

Trivia:The egg roll with chicken or other such stuffing is also known as kati roll. Kati roll is street-food originating from Kolkata, India. Its original form was a kati kabab enclosed in a paratha, but over the years many variants have evolved all of which now go under the generic name of Kati Roll.

- Kazim's review of The Faith
- Chuck Colson's post #1
- Chuck Colson's post #2
- Chuck Colson's post #3
- Kazim's compiled responses (including this post)
Hello again Chuck,
Thanks again for taking the time to compose thoughtful replies to my discussion of your book. This time I'll have to echo your apology for taking so long to reply. I've had an extremely eventful year, and it took me a while to devote time to giving your three messages the attention that they deserved. I hope you don't mind, but I've chosen to break down my replies into a series of multiple posts, and I will be treating your posts out of sequence.
I'd like to start by discussing the position on faith that you revealed in your second and third messages. I have to say that your perspective surprised me a bit. As I had previously noted, throughout your book you chastised postmodernists for their position that there is no objective truth, only subjectivity. Yet in your recent message, you came out with an extraordinary pro-subjectivity statement:
"All thought begins with faith. All intellectual inquiry begins with certain presuppositions. These by necessity are made without evidence and have to be taken on faith. The idea that evidence is superior to faith as a root to knowledge is one of those presuppositions: it is unproven and non-provable. So it must be taken as a priori; that is, prior to experience, or in other words, on faith."
What I found particularly remarkable about this claim was that it almost perfectly echoes claims by the very same post-modernist movement that you have so often decried. Like you, post-modernists believe that reason is just another form of faith, and that there is no way to objectively determine the nature of reality outside your own mind, and the only thing that can be described as "true" is what is "true for me." I disagree with post-modernists: I believe that reality exists, and that it is independent of individual minds or beliefs. While it is by necessity investigated and interpreted by fallible humans, the nature of "knowledge" is that it must be accurate; i.e., it must conform to a reality which is not dependent on belief.
When I read your statement above, it sounded to me as if you don't really feel the same. When you say "faith," you appear to be implying that knowledge is a subjective matter, which may be said to be entirely dependent on the observer. If I adopt a position of faith that, for instance, Allah is God, and I will be rewarded with 72 virgins if I die as a martyr, then that belief is "true for me."
I thought I must be mistaken; this couldn't possibly be your position. Perhaps you meant something different than I do when you use the word "faith." After all, you had claimed that St. Augustine's influence "gave Christians the liberty to use reason when interpreting their faith." (Incidentally, I find this a curious statement. Why should they even need permission to use reason?) In any case, because of this nod to "reason," I thought perhaps you were implying that faith is simply an application of justified belief; a corollary to reason.
However, reading your other statements about faith, it became clear to me that you DO in fact set the concept of faith as something separate and apart from reason. Let me highlight a few examples of other places where you applied the word:
"But if we could prove the existence of God, we wouldn't have to have faith."
(Clearly, you are setting faith in opposition to the notion of coming up with some kind of objective demonstration of the reality of God.)
"God is that which is greater than that which we can know. It's almost by very definition what we mean when we say God. And if we could know Him, we wouldn't love Him. Faith is required for a relationship between the Creator and His creatures."
(In other words, by saying that if we have faith in God, we are explicitly ruling out the possibility that we can actually know God.)
When I look at your response from this perspective, what I get from your declaration of faith is the following: You think we cannot prove anything, even in a conventional sense; we cannot know anything; we cannot claim objective certainty of anything except through the subjective lens of our own fallible human minds. Therefore, we might as well just treat the things we fervently believe as "True." So tell me, how is this not the essence of post-modernism boiled down to its purest form?
What's interesting is that when it suits your purpose, you freely use the term "faith" as a pejorative, again in the sense of "belief without evidence," as long as it can apply to those with whom you disagree. For instance, when you speak of Darwin, you say this:
"Yet on the basis of naturalistic presuppositions—a faith position—he had to make this argument, and scientists who share that faith position must also support it."
So you ridicule Darwin's scientific conclusions as "a faith position," yet elsewhere you have repeatedly said that faith is the most important thing there is. I mean, really, it's right there in the title of your book. This leads me to wonder: how do you, Chuck, go about distinguishing which kind of faith is worth supporting, and which kind is ridiculous?
To return to the original theme that I touched upon when I discussed your book, the main difference between your position and mine appears to be that you have chosen to take a position of unwavering certainty, and then you describe that as knowledge. But it's a highly subjective kind of knowledge, for your central point is that knowledge begins with something that (you acknowledge) you have arbitrarily decided to believe without reason. So again, if you're going to take that point of view, I don't see a useful way to distinguish your faith from the faith of a Muslim, a Mormon, a Wiccan, or a Jehovah's Witness – all of whom stand on faith-based principles with which I am sure you disagree.
I wish to turn now to your third message, in which you attempted to justify this style of faith. You say:
"I started thinking about your comment about my being so certain in my convictions that I came across as somewhat arrogant. I think you're probably right. And the reason, I realized as I was thinking about it, is that I have spent much time over the years pondering this question rationally."
"I suddenly realized I did have a good ability to think. And ever since then I have really enjoyed the life of the mind. But I do apologize if I've come across as arrogant. I have nothing to be arrogant about; whatever good I have done is a gift from God."
I don't begrudge you the confidence in your own abilities. I too have spent a lot of time considering these issues, and I have a similar high opinion of myself – I'm confident that what I think is probably right because I've already given it a lot of thought. Both of us hold inherently subjective opinions, but we are basing them to some extent on our own past experience, which is certainly one component of reason, and hence a step in the direction of objectivity.
So if you are confident in your own mind that your position is the right one, then that's great; enjoy your certainty. If your only goal in writing your book is to "preach to the choir," then by all means, just tell your audience that you know you are right from experience, and they'll probably believe you.
But I was under the impression that you wrote your book at least partly in order to persuade unbelievers like myself that your position is correct. I recognize that you would like to help me get saved from the fire and damnation that you feel certain is in store for me. Unfortunately, I need to point out that merely stating "I know it is true because I am thoughtful and intelligent" doesn't really achieve that goal. Instead, it is an obvious effort to set yourself up as an authority by fiat: "You should believe this because I believe it, and I must be right."
If I were to accept this sort of rhetorical tactic, I would be basing my beliefs on something truly subjective. Either I just agree to accept you (or somebody else) as the ultimate arbiter of knowledge, or I accept everybody's beliefs as equally valid, even contradictory beliefs. Neither reaction strikes me as a satisfying approach to knowledge.

We're not exactly fashionistas here at The Two-Way, but even with our skewed sense of style, we're not sure what to make of the Ralph Lauren-designed uniforms to be worn by the U.S. Olympic team at the opening ceremony in Sochi on Feb. 7.
As one of our colleagues said, the uniform "looks like something your grandmother would knit you for Christmas." CBS Sports made a similar observation: "It's almost like an ugly Christmas sweater vest mixed with some yoga pants."
Gawker called the red, white and blue cardigan sweater with alpaca earflap hat and sweatpants "hideously ugly." The Today show was kinder, describing the "knit patchwork cardigans" as featuring "a classic color palette of red, white and navy" that is "quite patriotic."
At the time of the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London, the U.S. uniforms (also designed by Ralph Lauren) sparked controversy, too. As The Two-Way's Eyder Peralta reported at the time, it had mainly to do with the clothing being made in China instead of the U.S. That concern has been remedied this time around, so regardless of how you feel about the look of the latest uniforms, you can be assured they are "Made in USA."
While the U.S. team might not be entirely happy with the choice of apparel (although we've heard no specific complaints), it clearly could be worse, as evidenced by the Norwegian curling team's uniform, or the uniform worn by Spanish athletes in 2012.
Even so, we understand that these things are subjective, so we're looking for input from our readers. You can vote in the poll below:
