Major update to dpreview forums coming soon: tell us what you think
In an ongoing effort to improve the performance and user experience on dpreview, we've rewritten and redesigned the forums, and will be launching the new version in a few days. From a look-and-feel standpoint, we made an effort to stay faithful to the core of the old design (no point throwing out the bits that work well) and from a functional standpoint, we focused on adding, rather than removing features.
The new forums look a bit different (nicer, we think) and are built on totally different code, so there will inevitably be a few things you'll have to get used to. Below you'll find some images of the new design and descriptions of what's new, and what's been changed. We encourage you to provide feedback, positive or critical, as we make the finishing touches. We're nearly ready, but if there's anything we've missed, we want to know before this goes live.
As we set out on what ended up being the major task of redesigning our forums, we had two main goals. As well as adding some long-overdue features that bring our forums into the 21st Century, we also focused on addressing the most common comments and criticisms that we get in user feedback.
For example, there is a lot of great information and advice shared in the forums every day, but it is often difficult to find. To solve this, we implemented a number of new navigation and design aspects that will both help users find what they were looking for, and hopefully, discover a few things along the way.
Here's a quick outline of the new forums - please let us know what you think.
Top-level forum pages:
|The new forum index pictured above shows off the new color schemes and increased spacing that pervades the rest of the forums design.
Posting and viewing pages:
The posting and viewing pages have also been substantially reworked:
The posting panel is now a full WYSIWYG interface, with buttons on the right for directly linking to an image on the internet, for uploading from your computer or for pulling an image from your dpreview gallery.
The main viewing screen has a number of changes. Dots next to each post appear white for unread posts and turn grey once read. At the forum level, partially-read threads will be represented by half-white dots. Note also the ability to preview a post by hovering over the post.
The record of which posts you've read will now be stored on our servers, not in your browser, so the read status of threads will be correct whatever device you log-in on.
Questions and Answers
For years we've been discussing ways in which we could make it easier for users can find the information they are looking for on dpreview in general, and the forums specifically. We've made some progress on our product search and comparison tools, but we recognize that forum threads often contain extremely useful information on a wide range of topics, and it isn't exposed very well. To this end, we've introduced a new thread type, 'Questions', which enables you to specifically mark a post as a question.
Once you're happy that the question has been answered, you can mark the best, most useful response as a 'top answer' for all to see. We plan to begin displaying the top questions throughout the site on product pages and widgets to help existing users and newcomers find the most interesting and useful posts.
User and post ranking
It has been a long time coming, but, we've added user rankings into user profiles. In this initial version a user's ranking is defined simply by the number of posts they've made and the date they signed up. However, in the near future we will be incorporating a considerably more complex logic which uses forum and site activity to influence ranking.
|Individual posts can be up- or down-voted. Note also the white dots for unread posts and
|Each post has voting tabs.
|Votes on the original post appear at forum level.
We realize that many users are so used to the existing design, for better or for worse, that we wanted to provide some options that will help put the choice in your hands as to how the forums work for you.
|There's an option for a collapsed view, which more closely resembles the current forum view.
|And, at the bottom of the page, an option to view in the legacy custard colorscheme.
Full list of changes
New features:
- WYSIWYG text editor (no more markup)
- New 'Question and Answer' threads
- New 'breadcrumb trails' and quick-jump navigation at the top of each page
- New (larger) buttons for creating threads
- New search bar, removing an extra click
- Voting on threads and individual posts
- The ability to preview a post by hovering over it with your mouse
- User rankings
- Community mods – better moderation, based on feedback
- Image viewer mode / lightbox for going through image (or text) heavy posts
- More filter options and an easier-to-use feedback form for 'For Sale' threads
- Direct upload of images into forum posts
- Dialogs to insert image from web, from file, and from gallery
- Read status of threads persistent across devices
General style changes:
- Fonts and rows are larger throughout the forums
- Search is more prominent throughout forums
- Compact view mode which condenses more posts vertically
- A legacy color mode enabling users to view in yellow rather than blue
- Improved icons throughout the forums
- More keyboard shortcuts
- More filter options
- Post contents will be hidden if down-voted enough
- User can one-click subscribe to thread updates
- Ability to hide posts' 'subject' in threaded view (avoiding repetitive "Re: Subject" titles if subject is unchanged)
- More prominent actions (Reply, Quote, etc.)
- Easier to use controls for managing your 'For Sale' thread
- EXIF (if available) from all sources of attached images
The key thing to realise though, is that, while these initial changes may not seem huge, they represent only the visible aspect of the months of hard work that has gone into totally re-coding the forums. There is a lot of data in the forums and we prioritized speed and consistency in how we approached this upgrade.
The old forums were originally written in 1999 and have done an admirable job in helping to build and foster the dpreview community into what it is today. But the software industry has come a long way since then, and adding new features onto a software platform that is no longer supported, as well as maintaining it was not an option if we wanted to provide new and exciting features to the community.
Now that the new forums are using a software platform with modern conveniences, we can react quickly to feedback provided by the community and easily add new features. (Different 'skins' for instance)

Tapatalk support would be great. Participating on the forum is difficult by phone at best. I'd use this feature all the time. The keyboard on the iPhone does odd things when typing here.
Why do you have a separate option for Question when you start a new thread?
I've only just realised it's a separate option and the OP can't select "Answered" if they selected the traditional option of "New Thread". Why not solely have the "Question" option so the OP always has the option to select most relevant post?
The two different types of threads are not obvious within a forum, anyway. The only difference seems to be if the OP selects "New Thread" there's no way to select an answer, whereas if the OP selects "Question" they then have the option to select an Answer.
I don't have enough time now to scroll all the way down to see if this was mentioned but I am getting a weird bug that when I quote someone in a thread and hit enter twice to skip two lines, the page freezes on me. It happens every single time, I'm very forgetful because I do this on other forums. Has this been addressed?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Post ranks? Lame, encourages displays of bigotry. User rankings? Lame, encourages forum whores. I don't see any hint you're allowing longer messages or supporting Tapatalk or a custom mobile app or anything else useful.
Craigslist is still my favorite site because it runs lean and mean without all the crappy "web 2.0" frills that always bug out and never behave correctly across all devices. DPreviews old forums were some of the last decent, old school forums, free of stupid ranking systems, post-hiding censorship BS, and all the other nonsense you're adding.
Empowering prejudiced down-voters is no replacement for good community moderators, and just makes them lazy.
The Q&A feature is a rip-off of StackExchange; that's what the photography stackexchange site is for. It has no place being mixed in with your forums.
One more quick thing. Links don't work and images don't appear in my signature.
OK. I'm done.
Thank you,
A few problems.
I haven't read all 700+ replies so excuse me if I;m repeating something that has already been said.
Voting. Paradise for trolls. Suggestion: Either indetify the person who cast the vote, have thumbs up votes only or eliminate the entire thing.
Embeddding images: In IE9 images I post are always on top, no matter what. Solution: Firefox.
Doublespacing: Whenever I hit <ENTER> I get a doublespace, no matter what.
Embedded image quality: Really, really bad. Especially so for a photography website
Insert image from computer: Locks up IE9. Only way out, three finger salute
WYSIWYG: Consider making the "old way" an option. The WYSIWYG editor is sometimes a bit flaky.
As far as the general look I like it. Thank you all for your efforts.
I was away when the changes took place. So I'm just learning how to navigate around the new changes.
I can't upload photos from my Smugmug albums. I've been doing it the same way for years. Now when I attempt to upload a photo, the photo does not show up - just the link to the photo on Smugmug.
What am I doing wrong?
When you're posting look up at the menu bar (In the editor window). You'll see three square boxes that resemble photos. One of the boxes is "Insert image from web", one is "Insert image from DPR gallery" the final box is "Insert image from computer" (or something like that). Rolling your mouse over these buttons shows what the button does.
To post from smug, Go to smug and get the URL of the image the same way you always did...
Click the "Insert photo from web" (or something like that) button. A dialogue box will open. There's a place in that dialogue box for you to insert the URL of your image.
Once you do that, click to insert the image and you're done.
Sorry, I'm a lousy teacher. It's easier to do than my instructions imply.
Images I have posted in threads from my gallery of images edited in LR$.2 do not show camera make and model. That information shows in the gallery. Anyone know if this is something I am doing wrong or a fault with the new format?? Tried searching but didn't guess the correct search terms so came up empty.
No matter what I do when I post a pic it always stays on top.
Others are having this problem. Will try firefox and see if tht helps
The color scheme is HORRIBLE and hard on my eyes! The black background everywhere makes the blue, white, yellow text just "blast" into my eyes to the point that I don't stay on the DPReview site nearly as long as I used to.
Also, the center area where the posts are is not wide enough. Post headings are short and getting wrapped. You have plenty of room so widen things out!
Hi there,
I'm not sure if I seem to have overlooked something...but someone in an earlier post mentioned you can change the colour of the pages. I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to come across anything that seems remotely close to being able to do so.
Many thanks,
Perhaps I missed this. I used to be able to log into my favorite forum, and see just the new messages (since my last visit) at the top. Usually a handful, I could quickly scan to see if I was interested in them. Now, there does not seem to be a way that clearly indicates which are new since my last visit. That, plus the new color and layout, is quite exhausting on the eyes and brain. I must be missing something.
About the THREAD VIEW....
Am i the only one finding disturbing the highlighting of all your messages in a thread.....???
At the forum level (thread list) can be useful .... but if in a thread you have more posts .... it quite disturbing visually and you can't really spot which is the one being displayed as yours own ones are highlighted all in the same way....
I think inside the thread is more comfortable to highlighted the selected one....
Of course if you have only one post in a thread you will not notice it .....
How does one now reply to specific parts of a long post? It was alway useful to be able to insert comments at appropriate points of a discussion - the > preserving the formatting of the previous poster(s)
I like it, but seems like it should have been made more Tablet friendly sense that is the direction of future computing. i.e. hovering to get a preview is useless on an iPad.
I agree. Mobile devices, like the iPad, are the future. That's the direction that we're headed in. If the "new" dpreview forum isn't being designed with tablets in mind, then the dpreview forum designers are being extremely shortsighted. There are two iPads in use in my household. I have a dozen friends who now use iPads too. Sights that aren't iPad friendly just don't get visited as often, or not at all, since we now spend so much time on our iPads.
All my recent bookmarks.... gone.
I use 'flat view'.
When I post, it defaults back to threaded view.
Then when I click 'flat view' I end up on the first page/post.
Hopefully this glitch will be fixed.
I know you guys are striving to make it better (thank you), and getting used to the new layout will happen over time, so I'm not knocking you.
But I can only assume things are still "in progress" ?
By the way, thank you for the option to upload a photo directly to the post.
I really like the changes, It brought me back to this discussion group, thanks to all that made this possible.
It was answered there :
Congratulations for the new forums!. One useful thing that I think you missed is to show somehow (indentation or a more creative way) the hierarchy of posts in flat view. In my BB I always use flat view for obvious reasons and it's difficult to know who answered whom.
Where's the -1 or thumbs down key, it's awful, cluttered, terrible design - a gigantic step in the wrong direction.
OK just had my first look at the new forums and I absolutely hate them, but maybe I'm overlooking a setting that could "fix" my problems?
Your unforgivable sin?
You waste precious vertical space and you don't implement a variable width to take advantage of horizontal space.
Zoomed in to full screen, I can get 1 maybe 2 posts on the screen.
Look at slickdeals.net arstechnica.com anandtech.com and so on. All of them are variable width. Y'all are still stuck in the 90's. Either slim down your use of verticle space per post or allow your forums to stretch out.
Thank you for adding ' Withdraw post' in the options menu! Salutations in store!
Though it seems inactive for me, just a dummy button which does nothing.
Thanks for asking for feedback:
- Please get rid of the hard to read turquoise
- Make the thread titles more compact again - too much scrolling required now
- Make replying with a quote more intuitive: My first reply in the new format ended up in the signature which is hidden by default, and I still haven't figured out where to put the reply to a quoted post in this format.
Where does it indicate that the thread has images in it? This my prime reason for openning a thread. Now it appears you have to open each thread to find out if it has images. This is not moving forward!
Top posters in forum not current. Haven't even seen some of these names on the forum in months. What is up? Perhaps this is no longer forum specific? Hate the black background. Can't say this enough. Trying to read text on it is hard on the eyes. Reminds me of 1988 monochrome displays and trying to do word processing on them. On top of that, just plain ugly!
Love the black backround, so give us a choice
This one saves tremendously on battery power
and on my eyes it's easier to use
that's why this is my favourite (phone)camera site
CyberAngel, black doesn't imply less battery consumption in LCD displays, as they are constantly illuminated in the background and the LCD matrix displays black just hiding the backligth. Plasma displays do work the way you say. But as you, I find black backgrounds more comfortable to read, has there's less ligth hitting the eyes.
OLED displays also consume less power when displaying black.
But Alex is correct about LCD and LED-backlit displays - they always consume pretty much the same power no matter what's being displayed.
It would also be nice to have a view that strips off the advertising so I can browse DPReview without people at work wondering why I'm not working :)
I would like to see the ability for the OP to flag portions of threads that they started, as off subject or flaming. Not to delete them just mark them with colors so readers interested in the subject don't waste their time reading through unrelated posts.
I would suggest less bright font color on the black background. The current font color is too bright which hurts your eyes. If the font is grey color it would be much more comfortable for reading and keep me being on the site longer.
Another thing to suggest is video for introducing a new camera to show the speed of autofocus in low light conditions, and other major features of the camera.
I like it as it is, but give us a few color choises
and a custom palette possibility
Thank you!
I've always loved your reviews and news articles, they take all the guesswork out of buying - so huge thanks for them, but unless you've found a way to remove all the trolls which lurk here I think I'll stick to other, friendlier, forums. I won't name [forum] names here, because I'd hate for them to become infested.
If enough different people gives [TROLL] remark (or similar)
then you should hold off that person for a while
even facebook has this kind of features
Ok I I'd not read all of the replies but it looks good thanks for the hard work. I must be one of the few who like the blue on black , less strain on the eyes.
One thing that seems to be missing is spell check, you have an audience from around the world and English is not everyone's strong point, nothing to work my buttons more than a clown that insists on telling me I spelt something wrong, there must be others out there feeling the same.
You can use the browsers spell check, Chrome and IE have it I'm not sure about the others. But if incorporated not just the GB version.
+1 spell check
Please take the big step and change to black letter on white background.
I am a Human Factors Professional. I like everything with this site but not the white text on black!
Just give us a choice on the BG + Font colors

Scrap that just read your post that's fine and I think its best you do get a few weeks training first to see how you feel etc 115 kg would be ok even 120 kg as Im sure we could put on a great show together as said your weight would not bother me as with 4 to 6 months notice I could walk in as a light heavy weight and be reasonably able.
Best of luck with training just don't think about it do it and you wont look back.

Duck Dynasty's Robertson Explains Infamous Comments
(NEWSER) – Following a firestorm over his anti-gay comments, Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson is explaining himself—though he isn't backing down. Robertson allowed the Daily Mail access to a Bible study group in his church. "I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater," he said in a speech. As for hisGQ comments, "I am just reading what was written over 2,000 years ago. Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom. All I did was quote from the scriptures, but they just didn't know it. Whether I said it, or they read it, what's the difference?"

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say multiple ambulances have taken injured people, including children, from the scene of a head-on collision between a school bus and a pickup truck in southwest Ohio.
There was no immediate word on their conditions, but police say they driver of the pickup truck appeared to have the most serious injuries. Several children were injured, but none was believed to be hurt seriously.
The bus was a Middletown City Schools bus. The accident occurred around 8 a.m. Wednesday in Franklin Township, which neighbors the city. School officials said the bus was providing shuttle service for students attending a private Christian school.

Santa Anna's command comprised at least twenty thousand Mexicans.
But these banished Mexicans being enemies of Santa Anna it was after all not so unnatural.
When Santa Anna entered the rectangle unattended to reconnoitre, a shell burst near him and covered his red pony with dirt.
And with altogether a different air did Santa Anna take them up for examination.
Small wonder was it that Santa Anna was often termed the Mexican butcher.
Santa Anna dare anything—at least, neither shame nor mercy will restrain him.
Santa Anna upon this pronounced in Perote, declaring the election of Guerrero valid.
When they arrived at Harrisburgh they found Santa Anna had burned the place.
Santa Anna, like San Nicols, has a most beautiful wooden roof.

Urban Pet Haus is back with two new product ideas and they want your help again! This time we're showing you two designs for some new wall perches with built-in feeding dishes/planters. They want to hear what you think, and everyone who leaves their feedback will be entered into a drawing for another set of Wave perches, one large and one small.
UPH has been working on two new perches: Flat and Plank. Both measure 24″ wide by 10″ deep by 6″ tall. Flat is made of powder coated steel and Plank has a faux zebrawood finish. Both mount securely to the wall and have a thick felt pad attached on top. I've seen the prototypes of both and they are very sturdy and well-made.
Both perches have a really cool feature, a built-in planter/feeder. This special insert can be removed for easy cleaning, plus it can be flipped over. One side creates a shallow reservoir that can be used for food or water. Turn the insert over for a deeper reservoir where you can plant cat grass for kitty to munch on. The Flat insert is zebrawood finish on the outside with a ceramic liner and the Plank insert is solid ceramic.
UPH wants to hear from you! Please leave a comment on this post telling us what you think of the two new perch designs. How much would you pay? Is the size (24″ wide by 10″ deep by 6″ tall) good? What do you think of the finishes? Would you use the feeder/planter feature? Any feedback you'd like to leave that will help the UPH design team refine these concepts will be greatly appreciated.
All comments received through May 15, 2011 will be eligible for the giveaway. Please leave only one comment per person. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on May 16. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses in the US only. Readers outside the US are welcome to enter if they are willing to pay the extra shipping charges.

After starting the first version of this story here: http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-395864/NEW-FanFic-Title-Pierced-with-my-Fangs-AMUTO.html#19357984 SnowPlush16 and I decided to combined our post from the first version into our own fanfic since we write similar and enjoying writing in depth fictions. Please feel few to join in the fun with adding your own part in the LINK above. That one is for everyone to participate in.
NOTE: After each chapter, we will type "finish" meaning your free to comment on story. We want to try to keep the story parts together (may be two to three forum post for each chapter) then the comments after.
-Remember this story is only being told between Plush and I, so please add only comments and tips for us and NOT your own part. We don't want people getting confused and whats part of the story and what is not.
Title: Pierced By My Fangs
Category: Romance/humor/horror
Pair: In general Amuto, more can be added
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
...Sorry the quality is bad...)
Being a vampire wasn't forbidden...It was the innocent blood they stole that was forbidden...But what vampire could live without blood for a long time without being tempted beyond despair?
Our story beginnings, with the beautiful beast, Ikuto, as he makes his journey to the next city in hopes of fitting in with the human crowd, and hiding from the Easter vampire hunters... There Ikuto's throat burns in hungry because of his lack of meals. What will happen when a student at Seiyo Academy, brings his temptation to a whole new level. Amu and her ridiculously creamy throat brings Ikuto to his ruin...
Their fateful tale beginnings, as Ikuto gets out of a taxi and into the burning sun of the city.
Story Beginnings: Chapter One Part I: New City
"Darn-it! The weather was suppose to be cloudy today...." Ikuto muttered, shielding his eyes with his palm, and giving the driver the last of his money. He was all on his own now, besides his traveling companion, Yoru.
Yoru was nothing more than a homeless child, that Ikuto couldn't help but feel compassion for. They both had been traveling together for some years now after Ikuto found him in an alley with a bunch of cats when he was going through that city.
Yoru knew Ikuto's secret and his bounty on his head and tried his best to encourage Ikuto through his travels and hunger.
"Ne, Ikuto...what are we going to now, nya?" Yoru asked behind Ikuto's long legs, scanning the passing people on he side walk.

"I don't know...But for now lets find a place to stay-" Yoru's small stomach had just growled, making the small boy chuckle.
"And, some food for you..." Ikuto sighed, patting Yoru's, and taking long strides down the sidewalk with Yoru trying to keep up on his heels.
Ikuto was hungry himself...But it was bearable...At least for now. He would have to find a substitute soon or he could lose his sanity. That wouldn't be good either. Eating a "lot" of food helps a bit. But even its amount seemed to turn to dust in his stomach after a small bit of time. Plus he didn't have any money for a lot or little bit of food....
*sigh* Ikuto groaned at the unlucky future he couldn't see.
A/N: This part actually below was actually written by iluvshaoran We have modified it to fit the theme but originally piece that connected the parts. Please continue reading.
A young girl, about 12 or 13, in a rather punt looking school uniform, rushed by Ikuto's tall form, just brushing his shoulder with her head. Three girls (triples) were in tow behind her, wearing little yellow kindergarten hats, and blue coats. All were complaining to their leader on how they were late.
The bubble-gum haired girl tried to keep a straight face in their distress, but failed as she thought on how much later she was for her school.
Ikuto's let his indigo eyes wonder shamelessly over her petite form. Her honey eyes, sweet pink hair, and flawless pale skin, made Ikuto's insides turn with unwanted desires. His throat already hissed with burning dryness.
This was not good. The lack of blood to his body was sinking in too fast. He had just arrived here, and he was already having lust over a random girl he happened to past. How in the world would he find enough money in time to buy enough food to seizes the burning before he went after her out of instincts?
It was going to be a long day, Ikuto sighed, continuing to walk in the opposite direction of the girl, in hopes of something good to head his way.

"Wow, this is really comfy..." Yoru groaned, trying to find a comfy place on the branch he was balancing on.
"Shut up! It's better than nothing!" Ikuto barked back, leaning against the trunk. The days mission in finding a job, money, and a place to stay failed miserable.
"Whatever..." Yoru muttered to himself, while settling down and forcing his eyes to shut.
A light breeze reached the height of the branches they rested in, giving the evening humidity more bearable.
Ikuto began to hear the shallow breath of his partner as he slowly dozed, as he looked out over the city below and awed at the brightness. Though the sun was down the city still bustled with people and their humanly affairs with great volumes of excitement.
It was useless to sleep for Ikuto. Not because he was an average vampire who usually didn't sleep until daybreak, but the sound of heart pulsating was too much for his sensitive ears to ignore. Especially when his stomach was as empty at a well.
Sigh... Ikuto huffed again in frustration. Trying to distract his attention, Ikuto swung to a branch beside Yoru's small form, in hopes of finding his sleep rejuvenating. But the opposite took affect for the worst. Ikuto found his eyes gazing at his little friends, beating rhythm of red under the thin membrane on his neck. Each breath brought another shot of crimson through each vain.
So tempting. Ikuto could feel his teeth moving in his mouth. This was more than he could bare. But he had too...He would not betray his friend over hunger in his sleep.
Without realizing it he was drawing closer and closer to the warmth inflaming Yoru's neck dispite his will.
Just a taste, Ikuto heard his mind moan. No! Ikuto tried to stop himself by squeezing the branch he was on causing the branch to crack slightly.
Pulling away with force and looking else where, Ikuto clenched his teeth together in an attempt to stop his fangs from showing profusely out of his mouth.
"I'm sorry Yoru..." Ikuto groaned, patting Yoru's head, "will be leaving the city soon if I can't clean things up quickly and property...
"I must hunt and put our safety here in jeopardy again..." And with that, Ikuto bounded out of the tree after wishing his pal a restful sleep, and sought out what smelled the most appealing to his nose.

"God, if you're the least bit on the side of a vampire, then please don't let me suck someones life away, but don't let me be discovered either...." Ikuto said a silent pray, looking down at passing people below him. Though he may be standing on one of the highest buildings around, the ant like people below were quite visible to his sharp eyes.
Bounding to another building top with much speed and uplift, Ikuto continued to almost fly through the air gracefully as he let his nose guild him while he's eye's were shut with no fear.
A shearing smell, broke through Ikuto's senses, bringing himself to a sudden stop (beautifully though). Ikuto opened his wavers eyes, peering out over the suburb neighborhood with his now slivered pupil. Ikuto could feel himself changing more on an animal instinct than his usually up-beat composer. Things were getting serious and tense even before spotting his prey. He hoped he would still having some control when he stole innocent blood.
Moving slyly down to a house ruff, Ikuto hopped silently through the wiving houses in search of the sweet smell that seemed to rule all others.
Ikuto could feel his heart ache for the person about two house away standing quietly on a balcony. He recognized quickly that it was the same bubble gum haired girl as early, who had passed him on the street.
Almost doing a ghostly walk forward, Ikuto felt himself give a low chuckle at how ironic this was. He was barely thinking correctly as he could almost hear the evil greed produce inside of himself as he felt a pang of pity for her.
He knew their was no turning back as he leaped to the ruff in front of her, but he couldn't help but feel a nag of guilt and regret. He didn't want to do it, but he wanted to take it all as well.
Her resting eyes fluttered opened at stared curiously but confused at Ikuto's still form cross the street from her.
He was spotted, but his instincts didn't care, he took one bound across and landed lightly in her balcony ledge.
She immediately stepped back in alarm at what just had play out in front of her. A boy just leaping across the street with no effort and staring at her with emotions she couldn't read was a bit awkward.
Silenced liggered for a moment as both stared intenstly at each other, until the girl spoke with surpised, "Are... You that guy I bumped into early....?"
Ikuto didn't answer until he brought his face dangerously close to her's, "Nice to meet you too," he cooed, enjoying the flush spread across her chins, making his own heart bound.
He was surprised she wasn't already freaking out, but risked more by, standing longer and enjoying her hunched back form and how cute, he would be honest, she was, and her her glowing eyes under the starry sky.
"Tell me you name," Ikuto found his lips almost sing, as he brought a strand of her hair between his fingers, feeling its smoothness as he brought it to his lips. Ikuto was surprised by the way he acted. It was like he had three sides; his "eat her" side, his "dazed" side (currently using), and his "normal" side, which was far to be found.
Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump.
Ikuto could hear her heart beat an unsteady rhythm as she spoke with a squeak, "Amu..."
Ikuto could see his red eyes through her glassy ones, and knew his fangs were starting to stick out as she seemed to lose her shylness and shake.
Fear. He knew...But she just stared, and tried to breath calmly while she let Ikuto grip her bare shoulders.
Ikuto felt himself shake as his eager month neared her glowing red neck, and felt her jerk in slight pain from the grip on her shoulders.
"If I can't see the light of day again, let me know my killers name, vampire," Her voiced quivered as she whispered.
Ikuto's arched form over her frozen. Both stood stunned at the remark.
"Ikuto," Ikuto whispered back, knowing this would mean death for her, and grit opened his dry mouth and brought down his fangs into her soft flesh below her throat.
Ripping flesh sounded, along with a grasp for amount. Then a dreadful silence of sucking and moaning filled the space between them.
Ikuto felt his hand grip into her hair , pulling her neck into and arch. Even as he drank he felt like he was still in the stage before drinking, going insane over his prey. It was an intense flavor that made himself go mad.
Sweet crave~
I was careless and released my fang hold on her and blood rolled down her shoulder blades. Licking profusely, then bringing his my month back to the wound, he tried to suck gentle for her knee were shaking and hit his.
Suddenly her knees gave way, and Ikuto impatiently pulled away and support her weight. He had a bit too far, she couldn't even stand.
Gazing down at her pale face, her eyes seemed faded and off somewhere even though she seemed to be looking in Ikuto's direction.
The thought occurred to Ikuto. He could use this advantage for himself. If he could make her fall asleep she could awake and totally forget the incident, besides feeling a bit faint when she a woke.
Swooping her form in his arm, he opened her glass balcony door, and gently rested her down on the bed.
Her lips pulled at the edges and she spoke softly, "Ikuto..." and fell a sleep with Ikuto's palm encouraging her to sleep on her forehead.
Finding himself smiling back, he whispered a "goodnight" in her ear, and slipped out the door and into the night like a light breeze.

Written By SnowPlush16: Chapter Two "Staying For now...Maybe" Part I
"Mm-Yaaaaanw...." A long groan slipped from the boys lips, as he stretched up his small arms towards the sky, and squeezed his eyelids tight over his golden ones. Staring lazy around from a certain ...being, Yoru quickly realized his companion wasn't there. Gasping a bit at his sore back, Yoru pulled himself out of the arch of the branch he was in and peered around again, calling in a worried voice, "Ne Ikuto...where are you, nya...?"
"Right here," Ikuto's voice seemed to smack Yoru back into the truck (as soothing as it was) as blue hair suddenly fell from above in front of Yoru's surprised form.
"Don't scare me, nya!" Yoru hissed, crossing his arms and looking away with a pout.
"Sorry, boy...Well, I bet your hungry," Ikuto poked Yoru's stomach after it gave a growl, while smiling warmly. Yoru couldn't help but look at Ikuto's unnaturally bright fast with a bit of awe. Ikuto continued, "Today we will definitely find a job and a better place to stay tonight!"
"Good," Yoru sighed, still staring at Ikuto's confident face confusingly. Sitting up, Yoru could see Ikuto's midnight eyes had a new spark to them and couldn't help but ask, " Ne, Ikuto...What happened...? You seem different than usual...."
Ikuto didn't seem ready for this question, but blinked back a sober reply, "I guess this nights rest helped, plus I want to make it up to you for making you sleep like this. Why...How to I normally act?"
"Emo,nya," Yoru stated bluntly, with his eyelids lazily covering his eyes, in a know-it-all-way, while his bottom lip was lifted a bit of his top.
"Thanks...Yoru..." Ikuto grunted, hopping down from the branch to the ground in a grumpy manner.
"Hey, don't be mad...At least your more normal now-" Yoru broke out into laugh, at Ikuto's hunched back at each word, while trying to slither down the tree without slipping from his tingling fingers of laughter.
Ikuto gave a sigh, feeling the light pitter-patter sounds of his pal caching up to him as they made their way down into the morning traffic of the city. It little smiled crawled on Ikuto's face, for he felt a spark of confidences indeed. He knew it was because of last night. Sure, he felt guilty, but his strength was renewed and he felt like he could do anything now without being diver with his instincts.
They were staying for now, for things were going his way for once...Hopefully.
Part II will continue soon.

"You're...Not serious...Are you...?" Yoru gawked at the building before them. A castle like school stood before them past the gates in which they peered. A golden sigh engraved into the white walls of the gate read "Seiyo Academy."
"I don't know..." Ikuto said honestly, being not quiet sure of his motive. Sucking it in, Ikuto to the first set onto the campus with Yoru lingering a bit at the gate until following. Both were shot glances from all directions from students on the school ground, but most given towards Ikuto.
Gasping was heard from each girl Ikuto passed, as one gave a whispered remark to their other; each Ikuto could hear perfectly with his sensitive hears.
"He's so beautiful..." "Who is he...?" "A new Student?" "Who knew paleness could looks so good!" "Is that a wig of velvet or it is real!?" "So dreamy..."
Ikuto couldn't help but chuckle at their comment, as he kept his face forward and his strides in rhythm towards the schools tall doors.
"Ne, Ikuto...Do you really think this...Will work...?" Yoru moaned in embarrassment from the stares he got from girls that enjoyed his cuteness.
"Well, a boy that's been through college three times with perfect scores, and four times through high school, though I think I would leave that part out, might just get lucky," Ikuto spoke downward so Yoru would only hear, as they entered into a large hallway with sparkling white wall and varnished floor of honey wood.
"And how old are you again?" Yoru tried to mimic and older mans voice to lighten the atmosphere.
Age was one problem Ikuto hoped, when he was interviewed, wouldn't be a main concern. Looking like a high school boy that has gone through college three time...Would make anyone wonder.
Opening a glass door to the main office, Ikuto leaned attentively over the counter, to a mid-age women who seemed to take and instant fascination of Ikuto, speaking in a flirting manner (that put her age to shame), "May I help you?"
"Yes, I would like to speak to the principle for job offers," Ikuto played along in tempting voice, making Yoru make 'gauging' noise under the counter.
The clerk responded sweetly, picking up a phone off its dock, giving Ikuto a bit of surprised look at his request, and spook in a more office manner, that is, after she turned away from her guest so she wouldn't get a bad image, to the phone.
After pointing down the hall and a few more eye lashing flips towards Ikuto, the blue head's were sent their ways down the hall with Yoru still making guzzled noises of disgust.
"Why this, nya?" Yoru asked in a complaining manner, passing another office.
"Well, most likely it would have good pay and its not as demanding...I really don't know. It's not like I'm going to be a teacher...Maybe just a teachers assistance, or a substitute teacher, or a tutor..." Ikuto trailed off in thought.
They came to the last office down the hall, and with a gentle knock on the wooden door, and a "come-in" Ikuto slipped through the door and left Yoru to curl up in a ball outside with a 'click' of the door behind him.
Part III will continue soon.

"Well...?" Ikuto coughed, trying not to glare at the large man in an larger, roller chair behind a maple, wood desk, who was staring him down as well. Ikuto had spent that last half hour explaining (moreover; convincing) on why he was for the job and would be good at it too. The vampire looks and voice didn't seem to the surprise the man one bit and he was more stubborn than Ikuto was. This was the only time Ikuto felt like a human. The though of threatening him came to Ikutos mind, but that would not only cause him to show what he is, Ikuto didn't think a vampire would be hired anyway...At least not by this person.
Finally after a bit more dialog between, going through a few files, and doing some phone calls, a paper was push forward to him on the desk to sign as the last hurdle for Ikuto. To sign or not to sign?
Ikuto took -one of the many- fountain pens from a a holder in the shape of a fist and wrote in flawless letters, " Ikuto Tsuki." Leaving out the "yomi" in his last name purposely to protect his identity somewhat while he was in the city, and handed it by to the principle.
"You will be working as a teachers assistance and or a tutor if you wish as well," The man stared over his glasses rims, a Ikuto's sober face, then continued, "You will start today and ....
I will continue tomorrow...sorry, thanks for wait.

Unicornz and Ikuto, what more do you need??


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - As you probably know, Chromebooks are Google's ( GOOG) answer to other laptop/notebook designs. They run on a Linux-based operating system and offer Google's Chrome browser. Seriously, that's it. You're supposed to do everything you need a computer for in the browser and then store stuff "in the cloud," not, necessarily, on a built-in hard drive. Buyers have recently been taking notice, thanks partly to the fact that Chromebooks sport low prices - in the $200 to $300 range. Recent designs from Samsung and Acer have been selling well. HP ( HPQ) and Lenovo have announced new Chromebooks of their own. But, touchscreens are the next big thing. You can be sure that Microsoft ( MSFT) is counting on this trend. So, it's not really surprising there's now word that Chromebooks will soon be sporting touchscreen displays of their own. According to a number of online rumors/reports, Google, inventor of the Android operating system, is currently working on a touchscreen Chromebook. Few details have emerged about this alleged project from either Google or any of its possible manufacturing partners. We may hear more at Google's I/O developer conference, which kicks off May 15 - and see any finished products that could hit the marketplace in time for the year-end holiday shopping season. Google has not yet responded to TheStreet's request for comment on this story. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Brad Paisley shares inspiration behind latest single
Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio
Brad Paisley says his current single, "I Can't Change The World," stems from memories of the past. He says the song was inspired by the attitude he had 12 years ago when he and wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley had just begun seeing each other.
Paisley recalls that before they were serious about one another he told her he wasn't sure what she was looking for, and admitted he had his limits but would do everything he could for her. Paisley's approach seems to have worked.
Things eventually did get serious between them, and after two years of dating they tied the knot. Earlier this year Brad and Kimberly celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary.
"I Can't Change The World" is the third single from Paisley's most recent album, Wheelhouse.

Chapter Two-Revenge is sweet
It was like yesterday when we had a meeting on a rather difficult thing with Rosalie and myself. We had agreed on not fighting with on another I was thinking a little bit of renvenge might not hurt. Maybe i should just take one of her necklaces and hide it somewhere around the house where she might find it or maybe not. "Jacob do you think that is a wise thing to do. If she did find out it was you who did it. She will be forever hunting you until your dicarded." Edward said as he had read my mind. what ever blood sucker. I am still not going to like her even though we had our agreement. But as the day got on I found the perfect time to do it. So I peeked in Rosalie's and Emmetts room, I found her precious neck lace I bet she will be like accusing Edward for not stopping me in my tracks. But still she deserves a piece of her own medience. As I took her necklace, I went down towards the living room and shoved the necklace in the creavus of the lounge as I sat next to Bella. She was watching some vampire show called The Vampire Diaries and she was humouring it. She was saying that "God, Stefan is protective of Elena, is that how Edward was with me Jake." as she finished she sighed and then turned her stone cold vampire face towards me to answer her and I did. "Yes, he was and I was kinda like the jealous best friend. So I was like Damon, always wanting the girl. Which was not mine to have, in which I knew she wasn't mine to have to hold and be together with. So yeah that should answer your question." She had a pained look on her face, then she breathed in one quick breath and the settled herself down. "What did you do to my sister mutt! If you don't answer me I will kick you out of this house." Emmett said so threatening and so forceful that I was a little sheepish. Then I said "Nothing leech, I was only answering her question she asked me and who do you think you are, your not my father and nor my brother I am not leaving Bella's side." I finished and let out a big growl and then all of a sudden Jasper and Edward were in the hunting positions and Jasper spoke this time. "Jacob, how dare you speak to my brother like that. I want you to leave now, otherwise I will do the same thing I did in the past with you." Then he finished, he let out a growl through his barred teeth. "Jacob leave now before something bad happens and Carlisle is left to patch things up." Edward sighed and then kissed Bella on the lips. Then all of a sudden I was shouting out at all three of them "You are a bunch of flithly blood suckers, you have changed Bella into one of yous to save her. I am leaving and I will be back and I will come with vengence." So as I was leaving Carlisle and Esme passed me and they had sad faces on their stone cold granite faces. They must of heard the conversation. Then They were gone, I phased into my wolf form now. "Seth, Leah, Embry and Quil I want you to do something" I thought and it was Seth who spoke this time with some confusion in his thoughts into saying "What had happened with the Cullen's. I thought you had a truce with them. Well, you can't see Renesmee anymore you know that." Seth thought and then Quil interupted Seth's thoughs and "What you broke it off, now you have done it. You have done something that is not patchable. I am going to say that nothing because you are nothing to me I am dissbanning from your pack now and going back to Sams." Then I growled and almost lunged for me. "Come on Quil I am going with you. i am not going to stick around while my neck is up for grabs by some blood sucker." Embry thought. But as the others gone and I was thinking I was a stupid dumb ass for breaking this and then thought that I must of admit I need to apologise to both the Cullen's and The others. So I am going to go to the Cullen's first. I was running at full speed and I was there and phased into my human form and then walked into the Cullen's dining room and saw the faces. So I spoke first. "Hey guys I need to apologize on how I have acted, I am an idiit for breaking the truce. I am here to beg your forgiveness and if you don't I will never come back and I will not be rounf Renesmee. If you want me to say away for a small amount of time. I will accept that." Then it was Edward who aswnered it. "Jake we were only testing you man, it was a nasty one but it was neccesary if you are going to stick with the truce." Then Carlisle interrupted him "Jake, I am sorry on how my son's have acted around you and I am appolled for them to even think about doing this and Jake find Rosalie's necklace before she comes back. She is due home tomorrow."He stopped and everyone went silent and then I had to speek up "i accept your aoplogy but do you accept mine" I sighed and then I was in a hole heap of sorrow. "Darling Jacob, I accept yours." Esme said and then continued"We all do and I must of admit it was nasty and I am sorry for what my sons had but you through. Tell your pack it was only a test." Then I said " What pack, they disbanded from me a few hours ago. I am alone." Then they were walking up and they were running towards me with all smiles and Leah said "Cheer up almightly leader we are your pack. We cannot abandane you. So we are here to stay" Then she finished and "Jacob, Leah, Seth, Quil and Embry would you want something to eat. You must be hungry for diner" Bella said. Then we walked to the diner table and we had tea and spoke about tomorrow.

IT'S 9am in London. ''I just got out of bed,'' growls Ray Winstone, who is facing a day getting in shape after a torrid holiday season.
''I've eaten and drunk myself to death,'' he says. ''I'm actually trying to be a good boy but I don't know how long that's going to last. I'm thinking the pub opens about 12 so I might start the training tomorrow.''
The tough-guy actor, a London East Ender whose movies include Sexy Beast, The Departed, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Proposition in Australia and Noah in 2014 with Russell Crowe, is living up to his reputation.
He does the same as Flying Squad detective Jack Regan in The Sweeney, the movie version of the hit 1970s British TV series about a hardcore police squad that does whatever it takes to bring crims to justice, even if it means breaking the occasional law.
While he has occasionally played softer roles - even the romantic lead in the little-seen Fanny and Elvis - Winstone's movie career has been built on such uncompromising parts as an abusive husband in Nil By Mouth, a father who sexually assaults his daughter in The War Zone and an English policeman struggling for control in The Proposition.
''Sometimes you take the part because you need the pay the taxman or pay the rent,'' he says. ''It's called going to work. But you try to bring something to it.''
In The Sweeney, Winstone takes the role made famous by John Thaw in a TV series that was one of Winston's first acting jobs.
As a teenager, and an amateur boxer who had been expelled from school for puncturing a tyre on the headmistress' car, he was credited as ''Youth'' in a non-speaking role.
''I turned up on set in the Red Cow in Hammersmith and there was all these iconic characters around that were the big stars of the day,'' he says. Rather than be overwhelmed, Winstone ran into trouble for being too chatty. ''I was sitting there when a geezer was buying a gun and I started saying, ''That one there'' - like improvising and all that. They kept asking me to be quiet.
''I realised years later that the reason they didn't want me to talk is that they would have had to give me another 30 quid a day.''
Winston says The Sweeney was a ground-breaking series in Britain.
''We had police shows like Softly Softly and Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green, but they were all nice and pleasant. A guy would break into a place and they'd arrest him and it would be kind of nice.
''But all of a sudden you had kind of a working-class view of it and reality came to TV. They were smashing down doors and these guys were swearing and having a gun. It was an iconic piece of TV.''
In the movie, directed by Nick Love (The Football Factory, The Firm) and co-starring hip-hop artist and filmmaker Ben Drew (also known as Plan B), Regan is a dinosaur from another era of policing who drinks heavily, sleeps with his superior's wife, steals gold from a crime scene to pay for information and growls phrases such as ''Nobody takes liberties on my patch'' and ''You're nicked''.
Why bring him back? ''It makes a good film,'' Winstone says. ''But we're not looking for any kind of artistic note saying, 'This is what it's like.' We've got the story of a guy who really learnt his stuff in the '70s and '80s and he's a bit of a dinosaur now. He's comes into a very PC world of dinner breaks and paperwork.''
He says a script melding character and action was the attraction.
''You don't want to be just running around with a gun firing it 'bing, bing, bing' unless they're going to pay you fortunes, then you might think about it,'' he says. ''There's a little bit more substance to it - that's me talking as an actor. But as someone who goes to the cinema, I want to sit there and be entertained for an hour and a half. That's what The Sweeney is.''
The Sweeney is in cinemas now.

A positive philosophy which auguste comte did not elaborate absorbs its highest thought, and dictates its largest measures.
One man there was who professed to offer us an answer, auguste comte.
auguste comte has been an influence because he endeavored to construct as well as to destroy.
This is illustrated in the degree to which he was influenced by the speculations of auguste comte.
The science of sociology as conceived by auguste comte was to substitute fact for doctrines about society.
When nine years of age, the passion to know and to become was upon auguste comte.
In France the most notable achievement is the attempt which was made by auguste comte.
auguste comte went home a hero, proud as a Heidelberg student, with a sweeping scar on his chin and the end of his nose gone.
In the positive philosophy of auguste comte he found the framework of his creed.
So thus rounded out the life of auguste comte—beginning in childhood, he traversed the circle, and ended where he began.

Meant as an inside joke between Henderson and her friends, the blog went viral.
The backdrops seem, at times, suburban as Watson poses in front of the then modest Victorian-era townhomes of Henderson Place.
"I am going to accept the situation, Judge Henderson," answered John, with a brevity that did not escape the keen old man.
Henderson was a freshman at the University of Wisconsin when she attended a speech on dating abuse.
"Grittiness is what differentiated it in from the beginning," Henderson said.
You're kind of soft around the stomach, Mr. Henderson, I'm sorry to say.
"There's only one form of persuasion to use with an hombre," commented Henderson, gently.
Margaret flushed a little, but apparently Henderson did not notice it.
Henderson had ordered that the costumes be kept a great secret.
Judge Henderson himself had heard the tumult on the streets.

hi guys,
i just installed damn vulnerable linux on a virtual machine to practice my pentesting skills. Unfortunately it doesnt come with a ftp or dns servers.
I want to install those 2 servers,
my question is which one do you recommend ? i want to pick one that is vulnerable, or should i install a patched one but give it a bad configuration??
thanks in advance,
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
Actually, damn vulnerable linux comes with some binary exploitation containing: ftpd, proftpd and others ....

WATCH: Kesha Looks Stunning In New Instagram Video
Listen to Kesha Radio on iHeartRadio
Kesha recently underwent a major makeover from a boozy party girl to a nu-hippie flower child, and she wants you to know it. After telling Teen Vogue that she's now "try[ing] to be pretty," Kesha stayed true to her word today by posting a gorgeous Instagram video that shows just how pretty she really is now.
Nothing much happens in the video –it's just a doubled Kesha standing there and staring– but it gets the message across loud and clear.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see how this new look goes with her next album, which will apparently be "really different" to what we've heard from her before.

I am a career Law Enforcement Officer serving the community since 1974. A fellow findagrave member pointed me to the findagrave website after he was attempting to locate a cemetery in the Centerville, Houston County, Georgia area and I have thoroughly enjoyed utilizing the website to locate family members and document grave sites wherever located. I have shared the website with many family and friends and have made several friends across the country as a result of utilizing the site. Should I ever really go into retirement, I plan to take a more active role in working on locating and documenting grave sites wherever I locate them and want to thank everyone in the findagrave family for all they do to make this site successful.

Hi there,
Hope your holiday was outstanding.
I am working with the caretaker at Shiloh Methodist and sorting through the records there.
Found a duplicate thought I would let you know. Elizabeth Bagley Tucker already had a memorial a couple months before yours #47582429.
Have a great day and thank you for what you do for find a grave.

RE: Old Chewalca Cemetery
Hello Mr. Cooper,
Sorry for delay in responding, but I've been out of town. As far as I can tell, the only way to get a cemetery name change is via the "Cemetery Correction Forum", by which one starts a string justifying such a change. I don't know who originated the name "Chamblee" for this cemetery. It appears as such in the Alabama Cemetery Registry & on USGS maps; it is also called "Chamblee" in the only published version I know of, which is by Robert C. Horn in "Tap Roots" (East Alabama Genealogical Society), Vol. 22, No. 1 (July 1984). I also don't know who originated the site for this cemetery in "Find-a-Grave"; I added my wife's Cooper ancestors there as well as some others I noted were not already added, because that was the already established site. I would hope that "Cherry" or Edna Ward or someone with the actual documentary backing would initiate the change to "Old Chewacla."
Joseph W. & Julia Elliott Cooper are my wife's 3d great grandparents; are you related to them?

From a casual lace dress to the ultimate form-fitting party dress for a night out, Free People has a bodycon dress for every type of girl. For those with a more eccentric and worldly taste in fashion, go for more of a baroque look with your bodycon dress with heavily texturized fabrics and over-the-top tapestry patterns. Embellished necklines made of beads, sequins, or intricate crochet designs are a fun way to turn your bodycon dress into a standout party piece. Candy girls love their body con dresses in flirty florals or pretty lace fabrics. Our bohemian Meadow girls who don't usually go the body con dress route can finally get their fix with Free People bodycon dresses in longer lengths.

Pidgin 2.4.0
John: While this release took what seems like forever to get out the
door, I think it's well worth the wait, especially for Yahoo! users.
This release serves up some fixes for long standing bugs and adds
file transfer for transfers with newer Yahoo! clients (finally!). As
is standard with code I committed, where it works great thank the
patch writer, and where it's broken, feel free to yell at me. Enjoy!
Sadrul: Finch is more colourful and blinky in this release! There's
now a log viewer, which is very useful, and also the ability to
block/unblock buddies. It's now also possible to find chat rooms on
many services, e.g. XMPP, IRC, Yahoo! etc. Happy Leap Day!
Ka-Hing: I think all I've done for this release is committing some
patches written by other people.
Stu: Finally, 2.4.0 lands. I didn't do all that much except complain
about things I didn't like or just revert Sean's changes. I'm quite
pleased with how well it's turned out in the end.
Happy Birthday Fred, you must be nearly 10 now ;-)

HaTeX User's Guide
From HaskellWiki
Daniel Díaz (Talk | contribs)
(First (and incomplete) edition. Testing the wiki backend of the guide.)
Revision as of 17:08, 28 April 2012
1 Preface
1.1 Introduction
If you are here because you want to learn more about HaTeX, or just feel curious, you are in the right place. First of all, note that this guide is addressed to that people that already knows the basics of both Haskell and LaTeX. Otherwise, try to learn first a bit of these languages (both are quite useful learnings). To learn Haskell, though I guess you already learned it since you are reading these lines, go to the Haskell web [1] and search for some tutorials or books. To learn LaTeX, you can start withThe not so short introduction to LaTeX [2].
The HaTeX library aspires to be the tool that Haskellers could want to make theirLaTeX things without exit of their language (we understand that is difficult to leave Haskell after the first date), trying to be the most comprehensive and well done as possible. Do you think, anyway, that something could be done better? Perhaps something is lacked? Go then to the HaTeX mailing list [3] and leave your complain without mercy! Or, in the case you are a GitHub user, say your word in the issue list [4] or, to be awesome, make yourself a patch and send a pull request. This is the great thing about open source projects!
1.2 What is HaTeX?
Before we explain how HaTeX works, it is convenient to say what actually HaTeX is.
HaTeX is a Haskell library that provides functions to create, manipulate and parse LaTeX code.
People often says that HaTeX is a LaTeX DSL. With it you can enjoy all the advantages you already have in Haskell while creating LaTeX documents. A common purpose is to automatize the creation of such documents, perhaps from a source data in Haskell. A more exotic one is to render chess tables. Possibilities are in a wide range. The idea is the following: if you can do it with LaTeX, you can do it with HaTeX, but adding all the Haskell features.
2 Basics
Through this section you will learn the basics of HaTeX. Essentially, how it works.
2.1 The Monoid classIf you are already familiar with the
class Monoid m where mempty :: m mappend :: m -> m -> m mconcat :: [m] -> m
xs ++ [] = [] ++ xs = xs
2.2 LaTeX blocksSuppose we have a well-formed1 piece of LaTeX code, call it a. Now, let
2.3 Creating blocksWe have now an universe of blocks forming a monoid. What we need now is a way to create these blocks. As we said, a block is the representation of a well-formed piece of LaTeX code. Let
linespread :: Float -> LaTeX
title :: LaTeX -> LaTeX
2.3.1 From stringsInserting text in a LaTeX document is a constant task. You can create a block with text given an arbitrary
class IsString a where fromString :: String -> a
2.3.2 More blocks
There is a lot of functions for create blocks. In fact, we can say that this is the main purpose of the library. LaTeX has a lot of commands, in order to set font attributes, create tables, insert graphics, include mathematical symbols, ... So HaTeX have a function for each command defined in LaTeX (to tell the truth, only for a small subset). Please, go to the API documentation to read about particular functions.
2.4 Putting blocks togetherOnce you have the blocks, as we said before, you need to append them. The
mconcat [ "I can see a " , textbf "rainbow" , " in the blue " , textit "sky" , "." ]
2.5 RenderingThis is the last step in our LaTeX document creation. When we have our finalLaTeX block
short = documentclass [] article <> title "A short message" <> author "John Short" <> document (maketitle <> "This is all.")
\title{A short message} \author{John Short} \begin{document} \maketitle{} This is all\end{document}
renderFile :: Render a => FilePath -> a -> IO ()
class Render a where render :: a -> Text
2.6 Try yourself
As always, the best way to learn something well is to try it by yourself. Since to see code examples can give you a great help, HaTeX comes with several examples where you can see by yourself how to get the work done.
The API reference is also a good point to keep in mind. Descriptions of functions make you know how exactly they works. And, when they are not present, function names with type signatures may be a very helpful and descriptive.
3 Footnotes
1: With well-formed we mean that all braces, environments, math expressions, ... are closed.2: Please, note that the
is a Haskell value, not the LaTeX code itself.3: From GHC 7.4,
versions of GHC, HaTeX exports the synonym.

6 Things we learned about Jay Z in the new 'Vanity Fair'
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - More than 17 years after his debut album, you'd think we know all there is to know about Shawn "Jay Z" Carter. After all, the 43-year-old hip-hop mogul published a memoir entitled "Decoded" in 2010 and has opened up to Oprah Winfrey on more than one occasion.
But it looks like there is still plenty to learn about Jay Z. Here's the CliffsNotes version of the "Holy Grail" rapper's interview in the November issue of Vanity Fair:
1. Blue Ivy's as divided as the rest of us on whether or not she prefers music by Jay Z or Beyoncé.
Bey claims that Blue is a bigger fan of her dad, but he's not convinced. "That's not true," he tells the magazine. "She does like her mother's music — she watches [Beyoncé's concerts] on the computer every night. But my album came out and I don't know if Blue ever heard any of my music prior to this album — she's only 18 months old and I don't play my music around the house. But this album was new, so we played it. And she loves all the songs. She plays a song and she goes, 'More, Daddy, more … Daddy song.' She's my biggest fan. If no one bought the 'Magna Carta' [album], the fact that she loves it so much, it gives me the greatest joy. And that's not like a cliché. I'm really serious."
2. His past as a drug dealer taught him important lessons about business.
The entrepreneur says the time he learned much from the spent growing up in a rough Brooklyn neighborhood, where he says he sold but never used crack beginning at age 13. "I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer," he admits. "To be in a drug deal, you need to know what you can spend, what you need to re-up. Or if you want to start some sort of barbershop or car wash — those were the businesses back then. Things you can get in easily to get out of [that] life. At some point, you have to have an exit strategy, because your window is very small; you're going to get locked up or you're going to die."
3. Don't look for any Blue Ivy diaper bags anytime soon.
The mega-mogul parents earned an estimated $95 million between June 2012 and June 2013, according to Forbes, but Jay Z and Beyoncé have no plans to add to the family piggy bank with Blue Ivy merchandise. Although they filed to trademark the little lady's name, Jay says it was strictly a preventative measure. "People wanted to make products based on our child's name," he shares. "And you don't want anybody trying to benefit off your baby's name. It wasn't for us to do anything; as you see, we haven't done anything."

Memory Loss
Good Day.
I have two kids and both are C-section. After I gave birth to my second child, I'm having some memory loss. Is this normal? Should I take vitamins or should I see a doctor?

Mummy brain fog is a very common occurrence during pregnancy and post pregnancy.
Many mummy's experience this issue.
If youre suffering with a case of the mummy brain, there are things you can do to try and make it more manageable. Firstly, you need to admit you have mummy brain. I know, I know, you dont want to, but as soon as you admit it, you can start putting things in place to prevent it. Start writing everything down. Appointments and other important dates should go straight in your diary, and get into the habit of checking it regularly to make sure you havent forgotten anything. Theres no shame in to do lists, so start keeping one. You can use your phone as your diary and to do list, although be warned this will be problematic when you lose your phone!
Omega 3 has been know to be a great vitamin to aid in brain function. Check with your local midwife or practitioner for correct dosages.
Just know that you are not alone in mummy brain fog, many other mums out their have experienced this. As baby grows older and sleep finds its way back into your life the mummy brain fog will reside and life will start to settle for you.
In the mean time drinks lots of water and try to get adequate sleep at night and possibly a nap during the day to re energizer yourself. Yoga and meditation help with balancing your mind as well.
Wish you the best of luck.
