Ready to start the big conversation? You know, the one about the birds and the bees? Well, even if you're not, your toddler may be — on a pretty basic level, that is. If she's curious about her body (or yours), it's smart to start talking now. For one thing, you are your child's best source of information. Plus, this is just one of many important topics you'll want to have open communication about over the next couple of decades. Still, it's hard to know what you should — and shouldn't — say when discussing sex with little kids. Take our "talking to kids about sex" quiz to get your feet wet and help you develop some simple talking points. Just number one through seven on a sheet of paper; then jot down your answers to these quiz questions.
1. The right time to start talking to kids about sex is (big hint — the answer's in the paragraph above):
a. As early as the toddler years
b. When they start preschool
c. When they start kindergarten
d. When they hit puberty
2. Your toddler's learning the names for his or her body parts, and he or she can point to his or her ears, eyes, and nose on cue. Now he or she points to his or her private parts — what should you teach him or her to call them?
a. Make up a cute name that the two of you share as a special secret.
b. "Girl parts" (or "boy parts," if you have a son) because they're parts, she's a girl (or he's a boy), and that's all she (or he) needs to know.
c. "Vagina" (or "penis," if you have a son) — because it's the proper name.
d. Tell her she'll learn the name when she's older.
More About Toddler Learning
3. If you see your child touching herself, you should:
a. Ignore it.
b. Tell her firmly that it's not okay to touch certain parts of her body.
c. Give her a time-out so she understands that sexual activity is inappropriate for children.
d. Treat it as an opportunity to talk about body parts and privacy.
4. When your child asks a sex question that seems to require a complicated answer, how should you respond?
a. Keep it simple. Offer details only if she asks.
b. Tell her she's too young to understand — you'll explain when she's older.
c. Distract her with a toy or a story.
d. Give her all the details — the more she knows the better.
5. If your child asks why your body looks different from hers (or, if you have a son, why Daddy's body looks different his), you should:
a. Get better bathroom locks and always keep your clothes on when she's around.
b. Explain that bodies change when people grow up.
c. Break out the medical dictionary and show pictures with your anatomy lesson.
d. Tell her that bodies are private and ask her not to look at yours anymore.
6. If your child asks how babies are made, you should:
a. Give a play-by-play of intercourse and fertilization.
b. Until she's older, tell her that the stork brings babies.
c. Use simple language, but answer honestly.
d. Tell her that topic is off-limits for kids.
7. Which of the following words should you use when you explain where babies come from?
a. Egg
b. Ovum
c. Tummy
d. All of the above

Corralling Work on the Next-Gen Nissan Titan
Boise, Idaho – Herding cattle, mending fences, hunting and fishing. These are the memories of summer for Nissan's Rich Miller. A 10,000-acre ranch south of Boise, Idaho, was his playground. It also was the perfect spot to bring his colleagues who are working on bringing next-generation Nissan Titan to market.
"When I was 10 years old I remember it the most. I got to explore with my cousins, and we would go fishing in all the streams. There are three creeks here on the property, and I could go to any one of them and go trout fishing. That's a great memory of mine," said Miller.
Miller, who worked on the 1995 and 1997 Nissan Truck and the 1998 Nissan Frontier doing durability work, is now a chief product specialist tapped with corralling Nissan's efforts to make the next-generation Titan pickup truck.
This summer, Miller took a team of Nissan product planners and marketing professionals to his family's ranch in Idaho. The trip put the team on the trails, in the water, over the mountains and up close with the people who rely on trucks for their livelihood.
"It was interesting that today Mary O'Malley came to visit us. She lives on the Joyce Ranch. She actually drives a 1997 Nissan Hardbody that has 230,000 miles on it and said that every day it goes up and down that mountain. She brought it over to show it to us to say hey, you built a great truck," said Miller.
Miller and Nissan know the U.S. truck market, and they know the stakes of this segment. Plus, there is the personal side of delivering a vehicle that his family and friends will respect.
"The nearest neighbor is 30 miles away. If you get stuck out there and there is no cell phone coverage, you are walking out. And it's a long walk out. So you need a vehicle that is a good quality truck that is not going to break down for them, going to last a long time and have good performance in the inclement weather. They want to have the confidence in that truck, that tool, that it will get them to where they need to be," said Miller.

FCC Swamped With iTunes Indecency Complaints
NBC Universal's sandwich-board iTunes protest may well turn into a full-blown proletariat uprising after all.
At a press conference this morning, Vivendi CEO Jean-Bernard Levy slagged Apple, bitching about the company's retail pricing strategy for its iTunes service. "The split between Apple and [music] producers is indecent," Levy said. "Our contracts give too good a share to Apple. … We should have a differentiated price system."
Vivendi's Universal Music Group decided against a long-term renewal of its iTunes contract this past summer and has been month-to-month ever since. So it could certainly withdraw its catalog from iTunes if it chose to. But since Apple controls 76% of digital music sales, and some 15% of Universal's revenue comes from digital sales, it probably won't. At least not until it finds a digital music-distribution channel as effective as Apple's. "We are in a phase during which many different actors are talking to each other," Levy said. "We are trying to put in place several projects to ensure that music is better remunerated. … We are not just talking to Apple."

Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,
And like enough thou know'st thy estimate,
The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;
My bonds in thee are all determinate.
For how do I hold thee but by thy granting?
And for that riches where is my deserving?
The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,
And so my patent back again is swerving.
Thy self thou gavest, thy own worth then not knowing,
Or me to whom thou gav'st it else mistaking;
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,
Comes home again, on better judgement making.
Thus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter,
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.
Sonnet 87: Translation to modern English
Farewell, you're too valuable for me to own. I'm sure you know your worth. The extent of that allows you to be released from me: you have broken the bonds between us. For how can I hold on to you without your consent, and how have I come to deserve such riches? Reasons for receiving such a beautiful gift are lacking so my right to own you is reverting back to you. You gave yourself to me without knowing your value, or else you mistook me. So your great gift, based on misunderstanding, is returned now that you're capable of making better judgments. I have had you as in a flattering dream, thinking of myself as a king while I slept, but on waking, finding I was no such thing.

Christie Brinkley & Ex-Husband Peter Cook Must Get 'Ref' To Help Raise Kids
A Long Island judge signed a deal that the hostile duo will no longer be allowed to speak to one another and that all communication with go through an outside party.
Former model Christie Brinkley and ex-husband Peter Cook will continue to co-parent their two children Sailor 14, and Jack, 17 with a parenting coordinator to make their disastrous relationship runs smoothly.
The parenting coordinator's jobs include helping mediate disputes over the teens' visitations and expenses and make sure Christie, 58, and Peter stick to whatever deal they make.
According to an interview with the New York Post, divorce attorney Raoul Felder said this settlement is fairly common but might not have been the best choice.
Felder said, "My sense of the dynamics are that he wants to get married and she just can't let go of the spotlight."
"It's a dangerous brew when you have that. It's pretty sad when two intelligent people can't arrange for kids' visitation without an intermediary," continued Raoul.
Both sides of this on-going soap opera have released statements regarding the arrangement.
Peter said: "Christie may never understand or come to regret the bitterness she has left in people's hearts, including our children's, but as we are all aware, no money no religion or church, no eulogy, no media attention or magazine article, no matter how elaborate, can remove the legacy of a mean spirit."
Christie lashed back on Facebook and said "Let it be known, that I 'moved on' from my marriage to Peter Cook the moment a police officer tapped me on the shoulder and informed me that 'my husband had been cheating on me in a two-year affair with his 17-year-old-daughter."
"Since that moment, it has been an odyssey of frustration as I have navigated the court system with one goal- to find peace and protection for my family from the various forms of abuse at the hands of a narcissist," continued Christie.
Having her husband's back, Peter's current wife Suzanne Shaw rebutted, "Your dishonesty knows no bounds." Suzanne then proceed to list the lies Christie has told.
"You have not sought peace or protection for your family. You routinely leave your children with Peter months at a time while you are off pursuing other interest," continued Suzanne.

By Alison Carlman, KF8, Kenya
" It's this place, on the computer… like a bulletin board… where people post stories…"
Explaining Kiva isn't easy. It wasn't easy for me to explain Kiva to my Mom, (no offense, Mom) – so imagine me trying to explain Kiva to a Kenyan farmer who's never touched a computer and never even heard of "the internet."
As lenders, some of us hope that Kiva borrowers daydream about us in the way that we daydream about them. After all – we feel this connection with people half a world away because we've read their story and seen their photo – and we've shared a part of ourselves with them – a portion of our income, and perhaps a photo or a peak into our lending philosophy.
But as a Kiva Fellow it was my experience that many times borrowers know very little about their lenders. There are several reasons for this. The first – as I have alluded to – is the sheer difficulty of explaining Kiva to someone who has never heard of the internet, and cannot imagine how someone from Canada could know who they are. There is a steep learning curve along the road to understanding Kiva. (Read Matt Flannery's blog article about an encounter gone wrong in this regard).
Furthermore, many times loan officers have so many other important facts to cover (about loan terms, social agendas…) that a thorough explanation of Kiva can be a tremendous burden for the staff. Borrowers already have a whole borrowing experience based around their MFI's brand and procedures – it is a lot to learn about a whole other partner organization and its system.
Like you, I could easily come up with 10 reasons why it's difficult to explain Kiva to borrowers. I understand why someone would say, "why should we burden these already over-burdened people with more information about the loan? Won't they be better off if it's simplified for them?"
But I didn't actually know– would the lenders be better off with a simpler explanation? I decided that I'd like to ask the borrowers myself – "how important is it to you to know the story behind your loan?"
As part of my research for a larger Kiva case study, I conducted formal focus groups with Kiva borrowers in Kisumu directly related to this issue. Another Kiva Fellow gave the participants a 20-minute demonstration explaining the Kiva system using charts, handouts and photos, and when he left, I lead a discussion inquiring into the borrowers' reactions.
Here's what I heard:
- "I didn't know it [the money] was meant to be taken back and given to other people. Now I feel encouraged after knowing this and I am going to work hard to pay back for other people to have it, and for me to have it another time."
- "I'm very grateful and actually feel that there is love outside there for people… to lend money to people they have never met and don't know apart from just reading their profiles on the internet. It makes me encouraged. Because I feel at least someone outside also thinks about me…"
- "Through support, I think even me I want to work hard to be among the bottom people [lenders] who are lending also, because me I have been supported."
Kiva has left it up to the MFIs to decide how they want to deal with explaining Kiva. Kiva's first policy on this is "do no harm" – they have implemented a client waiver so that Kiva borrowers at least know that their photo and story will be viewed by many people around the world. But, as in many things, Kiva trusts the MFIs to come up with solutions to implement the Kiva partnership as they know their clients and capabilities best.
There are MFIs who do explain the complete Kiva system, and the growing presence of Kiva Fellows in the field also helps to enhance the "borrower" side of the connection. I've left my results and recommendations in the hands of my MFI to decide how they will respond to their clients' feedback. In the meantime, you can expect that Kiva Fellows and MFIs are constantly working to come up with local, relevant, creative ways to connect us all through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
As for me, I'm taking to heart the words of a borrower who does know about Kiva. She said that she wanted to tell lenders to "go on making support to other people." She's trusting that as she pays back her loan, the money will go to someone new who is in her shoes.
She wants to tell you, "thank you a thousand times" and she says, "these people, may God bless them, and if I could just see them with my own eyes, the embracement I would give them, no one would be able to imagine. I'm unable to express my gratitude. I am very happy."
Alison Carlman is finishing her 11th and final week as a Kiva Fellow in Kisumu, Kenya with K-MET. She assures you that her Mom is actually really smart.

Suborder: Haplorrhini
Infraorder: Simiiformes
Superfamily: Cercopithecoidea
Family: Cercopithecidae
Subfamily: Cercopithecinae
Genus: Macaca
Species: M. arctoides
Other names: bear macaque or stump-tailed macaque; chhotoleji banar (Bengali);
macaque brun (French); macaca ursin (Spanish); björnmakak (Swedish)
Aptly named after a few distinguishing characteristics, bear macaques or
stump-tailed macaques have thick, long, dark brown fur covering their bodies
and short tails which measure between 3.2 and 69 mm (.12 and 2.7 in) (Fa 1989).
Stump-tailed macaques have bright pink or red faces which darken to brown or nearly
black as they age and are exposed to sunlight. They are covered with
long, shaggy fur, but their short tails and faces are hairless and they go bald with age.
Infants are born white and darken with age (Fa 1989; Rowe 1996; Groves 2001).
Males are much larger than females, measuring between 517 and 650 mm (20.4 to 25.6 in)
and weighing between 9.9 and 10.2 kg (21.8 and 22.5 lb). Females have an average
height between 485 and 585 mm (19.1 and 23.0 in) and weigh between 7.5 and 9.1 kg
(16.5 and 20.1 lb) (Fa 1989). This sexual dimorphism
extends to more than just body size; male stump-tailed macaques have elongated canine
teeth compared to females, which are important for establishing dominance within social
groups. All macaques, including stumptails, have pouches in their cheeks to store
food for short periods of time (Rowe 1996). They travel
quadrupedally and usually on the ground for they
are not very agile in trees (Rowe 1996; Srivastava 1999). They are not known to
swim, as do other species of macaques (Macaca) (Fooden 1990).
Stump-tailed macaques are distributed from northeastern India and southern China into
the northwestern tip of West Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula. They are also found
in Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, and far eastern Bangladesh (Fooden 1990; Groves 2001).

Veracruz, Mexico in 1974, where they range in semi-natural conditions (Brereton 1994).
There have been very few long-term studies of stump-tailed macaques in the wild and most
information comes from the introduced population on Tanaxpillo or other captive settings (Srivastava 1999).
In general, stump-tailed macaques are found in subtropical and tropical broadleaf evergreen forest (Fa 1989).
Found in different habitats at different elevations, they live in dense evergreen rainforests below 1500 m
(4921 ft) and subtropical evergreen forest between 1800 and 2500 m (5905 and 8202 ft), depending on the
amount of rainfall in the area. They depend on rainforests for food and shelter and are not found in dry
forests except where they range in the Himalayan region of India (Fooden et al. 1985; Gupta 2002). They
do not spend much time in secondary forests and only do so if
they are bordering primary tropical forest (Fooden 1990; Srivastava 1999).
The tropical flora on Tanaxpillo consists of evergreen trees, vines, shrubs, grasses, cacti and water plants
and the stump-tailed macaques coexist with iguanas, lizards, frogs, snakes, mice, birds and insects, some of
which are native to Mexico (Brereton 1994).
Starting the day at dawn, stump-tailed macaques spend the early morning, until midday, traveling and feeding.
They are frugivore-omnivores
and a significant part of their diet is devoted to fruits. They also eat seeds, flowers, leaves, roots,
freshwater crabs, frogs, birds, bird eggs, and insects (Fooden 1990; Rowe 1996; Srivastava 1999). They also
raid crops prefering corn and other cultivated fruits. During the
middle of the day, the group stops traveling and rests in the shade, spending time on social activities such
as grooming while juveniles and adolescents play (Fooden et al. 1985). In the late afternoon
foraging begins again as they travel to their sleeping site, usually
large trees or cliffs. The daily range of stump-tailed macaques is between two and three kilometers (1.24 to 1.86 mi),
but they do not have to travel as far during the rainy season when food is more abundant. Home range is unknown
but thought to be several square kilometers (Srivastava 1999). Though they spend the majority of the day traveling
on the ground, usually along the banks of rivers and streams, stump-tailed macaques also forage for fruit and leaves
in trees and flee to trees when in danger (Fooden 1990).
In Mexico, stump-tailed macaques readily experiment with new foods, including native Mexican plants that would
obviously not be encountered anywhere in their natural range in Asia. The Mexican stumptails hunt
spiders, worms, snails, insects, frogs, lizards, birds and field mice and also search out turtle and bird eggs
(Fooden 1990). Their diet is also supplemented by researchers in the form of a prefabricated pellet
diet as well as assorted fruits and vegetables (Brereton 1994).
Potential predators of stump-tailed macaques include clouded leopards, leopards, dogs, and large raptors.
When predatory animals are near, they respond by assuming threatening postures, shaking
trees and branches, and baring their canine teeth in threat. No predation event has been recorded
(Srivastava 1999; Chetry et al. 2002-2003).
Like some human males, stumptail macaques become partially bald as they
age. This process of balding is similar to male-pattern baldness seen
in humans because hair loss starts at the forehead and advances toward
the back of the skull over time, but unlike humans, this pattern is seen
in both male and female stumptails (Uno et al. 1967). Researchers have
studied balding in stumptail macaques and have developed treatments for
baldness, namely minoxidil, or as it is commercially marketed, Rogaine
(Uno 1986). Minoxidil was originally developed as a drug to treat high
blood pressure, but one of the side effects identified was excessive
hair growth. Testing of the drug on stumptail macaques revealed hair
regrowth and maintenance of newly regrown areas on balding scalps (Uno
1986). By first testing its efficacy and safeness on nonhuman primates,
researchers were able to develop the drug for human use.

We have been able to see him for almost two hours every day. For now, we see him alone. This is because he is in the infirmary. He has a chest cold that is going around the baby house. When he gets out of the infirmary, he will be moved to a room with others his age. We will then visit with him in a larger room with other kids and possibly other visiting parents. We'll figure that one out when we get there. For now, we love our time alone with him.
He has a contagious laugh and smile and loves to talk. He also loves looking out of the window in the room. He can just stare outside for a while with a satisfied and happy look on his face. Since we don't get to feed him yet, he is left to munch on our fingers. No teeth yet, but he should be there soon.
Now that we have introduced you to him, we (or I) will post more often and let everybody know what our days and nights are like.

Watkins Abbitt: Incumbent and sorghum squeezer
Watkins Abbitt's family has lived around Appomattox since well before General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at the courthouse there in 1865. In fact, Abbitt still owns the family farm about three miles from that hallowed site.
While politics seem to run in the nine-term delegate's family– his father, another Watkins M. Abbitt, served in the U.S. Congress for 25 years, and a federal building in Farmville bears his name– he originally didn't plan to follow in his father's footsteps. "There was enough rebel in me that I didn't like politics when I was younger," he admits.
He did like canoeing Virginia's rivers, and in 1971, after college at VCU, Abbitt became interested in keeping them clean. He lobbied to secure a scenic river designation for several state waterways, and in 1982, then-governor Chuck Robb named him to the State Water Control Board, the body from which Charlottesville's Kay Slaughter recently resigned and which Abbitt calls "one of the most powerful boards in the state."
His clean water credentials have earned him the "River Conservationist of the Year" award from the Virginia Wildlife Federation, and this year, the endorsement of the Virginia League of Conservation Voters.
Abbitt started representing the extremely rural 59th District, which takes in southern Albemarle County west of Scottsville and south of I-64, as a Democrat. In 2001, he ran for reelection as an Independent, causing some grousing among the now minority Dems in the General Assembly. Abbitt has no regrets. "I don't have to attend as many meetings and political caucuses," he says.
He's being challenged in November by Shipman resident Allen Hale (who sat in The Hook's Hot Seat October 2).
The day The Hook met with Abbitt, who drove up from Appomattox for a League of Women Voters forum, the Daily Progress ran an article on the race in which Hale accused him of having "learned the art of performing constituent service."
"That's the most important service I do," responds Abbitt. He says he gets three or four constituent calls a day, and he tries to be an information source for his district whether the issues are local, state, or federal.
And he mentions some advice from his father: "Politicians who are elected on a cause don't stay around long. Those who take care of their constituents do."
Abbitt, who owns an insurance and real estate business, also does a little farming. He produces an endangered, labor-intensive agricultural product: sweet sorghum, which is made from cooking the juice of sorghum cane. During the Depression, it was a staple for people who couldn't afford to buy sugar.
"We make about 40 to 50 gallons, but my friend said to make less because the people who like it are dying out," he says. This year's sorghum batch was threatened when Hurricane Isabel blew down Abbitt's sorghum cane crop, but he's found some cane from another farmer.
"It's very strong," warns Abbitt. "Either you like it or you don't." And it's not to be confused with molasses– or the sticky business of politics.

I read online that when getting to test center, you can be expected to wait a hour to get a room, since the December test says I have to be there at 8:30 what would be the actual timePeople are in room and starting (after instructions).also im having trouble getting energized after waking up at 6 - though nowI have no issues with it - is it normal ?
Waking up your brain takes more than waking up early.Plan for how you will have LSAT energy when you need it.Yes, waking-up early may be a part of it, but so is going to sleep early, eating right, exercising, etc., etc.Your LSAT score reflects how you get your brain ready, so make sure on test-day it is as crisp, clear, and as powerful as possible.
nothing wrong with knowing how get test-ready, whenever that happen.

== New book on the market,especially for Romania and Moldova ==
== New book on the market,especially for Romania and Moldova ==
Revision as of 10:52, 10 January 2009
New book on the market,especially for Romania and Moldova
A new book (by Dan Popa from Bacau State Univ.) called "Practice of monads interpreters" - title translated by the editor - (orig. Practica Interpretarii monadice) is on the market. It is offered by the MatrixRom Pub. House http://www.matrixrom.ro . Suport: Paper Price: 20 lei (less then 7 euros, grab it !!). Language: romanian (yet.)
The Ro/Page of the book is here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Practica_interpretarii_monadice
Other books by MatrixRom are here: http://www.matrixrom.ro/english/publishing/domains/computer_science.php?id=901#901
May I add it on the Headline section or somewhere else on the front page, this week ? Or should I make an English page for this (long) text ?
Thanx Dan
Question Concerning Who's using Haskell?
Haskell is used at Bacau State University (www.ub.ro) by Lect. Drd. Dan Popa as a tool for DSL (ak. domain small languges) building. Also, DSLs like Rodin are used as tools for teaching "Fundamentals of Programming Languages".
Should I add this note on the main page ? Can anybody check it (ex. spelling) and post it. Thx
Dan Popa
If no remarks will be made during this week I will consider such news as acceptable and accepted the first page of www.haskell.org . With no votes against them.
Thax again
Search Box doesn't find short words
Just leaving a note here to say that the Search box and button at the top of the page now works properly except for words of three characters or less. These are not indexed and will give no results. (See Haskell-Cafe post by Mads LindstrÃÂÃÂÃÂøm for possible administrator technical solution and related threads.) --Rk
EduSoft.ro URL
THE EduSoft URL is: www.edusoft.ro NOT edusoft.com. You can see it in the Ro/Haskell page ! See the details. Thank you for other (wellcome) corrections.
- Calm down, I've fixed it. Naturally I googled it and assumed the parent company was the one to link to. --Gwern 23:04, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Well done.
Logo and design
This is currently just made to look like http://haskell.org/. I expect we will want to change it later. —Ashley Y 21:58, 9 January 2006 (EST)
IMO the logo and design looks very amateurish. Are there no Haskell programmers with some experience in graphic design? Or maybe someone who knows someone? --SebastianSylvan 13:06, 11 January 2006 (EST)
- The logo seems to be well established as the "Haskell" logo. —Ashley Y 14:42, 11 January 2006 (EST)
- That doesn't change anything. In fact, it makes it worse! Appearances matter, if someone who doesn't know Haskell comes here, sees an amateurish web and logo design, they may not consider Haskell a "real" language, but rather an amateurish effort not suited for real work. In fact I'd prefer an approach similar to e.g. the ruby web site (no logo at all, rather than an amateurish logo). --SebastianSylvan 03:49, 12 January 2006 (EST)
- I should clarify that the "Haskell" headline logo is what irks me the most. The lambda-logo thing isn't as bad, although it suffers from many of the same problems ("every-effect-in-photoshop-syndrome"). I'd like it more if it was just a two color logo (and not necessarily green and purple) without all those highlights and bevels.--SebastianSylvan 04:11, 12 January 2006 (EST)
- You could raise the issue on the mailing list. The round logo at least is used on other haskell sites. —Ashley Y 21:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Is there some way to suppress the wiki page title? - at the moment the page says 'Haskell' in small letters right above a huge logo also saying 'Haskell'. It looks pretty stupid. -- MikeDodds 15:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
The round logo at the left (which I agree is pretty garish) still takes a line by itself, leaving lots of dead white space for only a centered page title to follow it. I suggest leaving the logo at the top left, then moving the page title to the top-right. This will fix the aforementioned silliness with the home page title as well as clear up a little vertical real estate. -- Chuck Adams 17:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- There is a way, but we'd need somebody with admin rights on the wiki to edit the relevant skin file: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/1521
- -- kowey 13:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm going to change this page to better reflect the existing content of the wiki, rather than the content of haskell.org. —Ashley Y 05:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
We should probably clean up some of the clutter. I'd like to transfer everything more or less as is and the let the site go to the wiki before coming back to clean up. I'm planning to leave the old web pages for things like the history of Haskell alone at the moment. --John Peterson 17:36, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Maybe the "learning" section should be improved? As it is none of the links under it are extremely useful. Maybe they could be concatenated and split up into "tutorials" for mere mortals, and papers which probably aren't as useful to the newbie? Also, an idea is to redesign to have the news section up in front and visible. The more important items in HWN etc. could be put here (significant new libraries etc). After all, most people are very web-centric these days so using the Haskell.org site as a general announcement page is probably a good idea if it doesn't get too cluttered.
In fact, I already have a 'significant news' page generated from the HWN archives, here. If this headlines of this kind of content is what we'd like to appear in a news bar on the page somewhere, just make a place, and I'll update it as the HWN is published each week. -- Don Stewart
- Please do! I think significant news (about new libraries, for instance) should be on the front page. If for no other reason than letting casual browsers know that the community is active. Just add titles (with dates) on each news entry on the existing news page. --SebastianSylvan 15:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Plan : whitespace issues
I've made the "Haskell : A purely functional language" smaller now, so its more inline with with python.org, and perl.org logos. My model is python.org, I think our img header should be only a bit bigger than that.
The problem still remains that there is too much empty whitespace at the top of the page, before the real content. Ideally I'd like:
- 1. a smaller circular logo, about 80% of the current size
- 2. align the circle and text logos.
- 3. remove the "Haskell" wiki title from the page
So we just need to work out how to do steps 2 and 3.
Opinions? -- User:DonStewart Wed Apr 12 16:23:47 EST 2006
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to remove the title on a particular page. I asked about it on the Mediawiki irc channel, and I found this thread on the Mediawiki-l mailing list. -- JohnHamilton 19:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Search with Hoogle box?
Lots of websites have a search with google box, maybe a search with hoogle box on the front page (small and discrete) would be appropriate? --Neil Mitchell 13:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- That might be a good idea - the only thing that you'd have to be careful about is that it needs to be clear that Hoogle isn't a web search engine. You could easily confuse people, especially given the name - MikeDodds 17:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Well-formedness / validity
Not sure where to put this...
Currently every Haskell-wiki page is invalid XHTML 1.0 Transitional and in fact not even well-formed XML (as I mention on my Wikipedia user page, which I'll update if this is fixed!). Most browsers don't mind because it's served as text/html, which it needs to stay for Internet Explorer... Anyway. Whoever controls the header at the top of the haskell-wiki pages:
- Assuming the (X)HTML in the header can be modified...
- The <form> in the header (the search box) is a block-level element. However it occurs inside a
 element that contains
- Haskell | Wiki community | Recent changes
- Random page | Upload file | Special pages
- (search box)
- This is not even very much like a paragraph. Turning that
...
 into a
...
 would fix this.
- The Haskell logo in the top left corner is implemented with . Firstly, this is not well-formed! It should end like . Secondly, it needs an alt="something" attribute. Since this logo also functions as a link, the alt text should be non-empty. I suggest alt="ÃÂÃÂÃÂû" (replacing the logo with a lambda character, which is utf-8 as per the character encoding, or perhaps the equivalent alt="λ")
Testing these changes in my own copy, in Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 2 and Konqueror 3.5.5, I observed no ill effects (and a nice lambda effect when the image was unavailable in firefox, konqueror and some text-only browser). And the W3C HTML validator was happy and the CSS validator (which relies on the XML correctness) worked.
Incidentally, http://haskell.org/ghc/ is valid, http://haskell.org/hugs/ isn't, http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/ mostly is... but, never mind that ;) (i.e. I won't pursue those)
Hoping this is an easy fix ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂIsaac Dupree 19:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Now HaskellWiki is well-formed and valid ÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂIsaac Dupree 14:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- I can't guarantee that, it's quite possible that some page's wiki content will translate to bad XHTML. —Ashley Y 01:06, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


text: This is a collection of work I have accumulated over the years. From photography to portraiture and multimedia art, my interests and portfolio cover a wide range of styles- all of which I am comfortable working in. I'm actively accepting commission work, which can be anything from portraits and concert photography to paintings and promotional advertising. I'm very flexible with my pricing, and depending on what you want me to make you, I can do pieces for as little as $50. Keep in mind, though, that more in-depth and larger work will inherently cost more than smaller, simpler pieces.All of the profits generated from purchases on this website (50% of the total cost of each print) and from any commission work will go towards my massive medical debt, as well as making sure I can afford my medication and special diet. As a brief summary, I have an undiagnosed medical condition that has left me unable to keep food down for the last two years. I also suffer from crippling abdominal pain and severe fatigue. I'm incapable of working in my current condition, yet somehow I am unable to qualify for any government assistance programs (not for lack of trying, mind you). That is the reason why I decided to start taking commissions, as well as offer a cross section of my art for sale as prints on this website. If you want to help, either though my art or in another fashion, don't hesitate to reach me at davidtyandell at gmail.com. Thank you for taking the time to look over my art, I hope you like what you see, and I hope it inspires you to request your own unique work of art.

JD McPherson "Signs and Signifiers"
From Broken Arrow, Oklahoma comes JD McPherson, an artist with an unaffected take on vital American music and a voice that channels the spirit of Little Richard and James Brown. McPherson's seductively kickass debut album, Signs & Signifiers, finds this renaissance man/hepcat seamlessly meshing the old and the new, the primal and the sophisticated, on a work that will satisfy traditional American rock 'n roll and R&B purists while also exhibiting McPherson's rarefied gift for mixing and matching disparate stylistic shapes and textures. Recorded on analog equipment through vintage microphones and a 1960s Berlant 1/4 inch tape machine, Signs & Signifiers marks the arrival of an authentic, gutsy true American artist. -review from amazon.com

I just followed this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=42.
However, no matter what I do, the brush does not look like the one in the tutorial - even though I followed the instructions to the letter!
Instead, when changing the color parameters in the last part, I do not even have colors at all.
I do not understand it.
Is it possible that since this tutorial has been written, updates where made that changed the initial settings?

Apple is known for making devices that create almost religious fervor and demand. However, Apple may now be decided to streamline its hardware lineup to secure growth for its latest iPad mini, according to a report.
Rob Cihra with Evercore Partners wrote in a note to investors that he believes Apple will abandon the $400 iPad 2, because the tech company wants "clearer product tiers," AppleInsider reported. It shouldn't be surprising that it comes at a time when Apple is likely to debut its smaller iPad next week.
Cihra estimates Apple will sell 7 million iPad minis in the last quarter or 2012, and possibly 26 million iPads altogether for the holiday season. He means the minis and the latest version of the iPad, leaving the iPad 2 forgotten and ignored by shoppers.
U.S. & World
It would seem likely that Apple would phase out its older iPad in favor of pushing its newest one. It may also have seemed that Apple would have been working to phase out the iPod, but recent commercials touting the product are probably evidence that Apple isn't. The difference is that there's already been another incarnation of the iPad, and the iPad 2 is now two generations behind. Remember the iPhone 4? Yeah, neither do we.
