Literate Haskell example?
I've been asking various forums the last few days and received no helpful information, mainly in the form of "You're doing that wrong" or "Don't do that", and I am hoping you can help. I am looking for an example of how to write literate Haskell in such a way as to be accepted by doctest and Haddock, for example. The >>> in my literate scripts seem to keep causing errors messages. Any examples of how to write such a literate script would be greatly appreciated.submitted by throwaway1234u89

Primitive Lenses Question
I'm trying to fiddle around with lenses, prisms and traversals for Elm. However, Elm doesn't support type classes or higher-kinded polymorphism (so I can't take the scrap your type classes approach).
I end up with lenses and prisms like:module Lens where data Lens s t a b = Lens { view :: s -> a , set :: b -> s -> t } data Prism s t a b = Prism { pure' :: b -> t , matching :: s -> Either t a }
#haskell-lens said that the proper type of a Traversal isdata Traversal s t a b = Traversal { viewT :: s -> [a] , setT :: [b] -> s -> t }
I'm confused by this signature. First, it doesn't seem to match the lens package which allowsset traverse 1 [1, 2, 3]
Second, how do you turn a lens or prism into a traversal with this type?data Monoid' a = Monoid' { mempty :: a , mappend :: a -> a -> a } fold :: Monoid' a -> [a] -> a fold (Monoid' mempty mappend)= foldr mappend mempty pToT :: Monoid' b -> Prism s t a b -> Traversal s t a b pToT mn pr = Traversal (either (const []) pure . matching pr) (\bs -> either id (const . pure' pr $ fold mn bs) . matching pr) lToT :: Monoid' b -> Lens s t a b -> Traversal s t a b lToT mn ln = Traversal (pure . view ln) (set ln . fold mn)
I'm far from certain that's the right implementation.submitted by pseudonom-

Edward Z. Yang: Unintended consequences: Bound threads and unsafe FFI calls
A while ago, I wrote a post describing how unsafe FFI calls could block your entire system, and gave the following example of this behavior:/* cbit.c */ #include <stdio.h> int bottom(int a) { while (1) {printf("%d\n", a);sleep(1);} return a; } /* cbit.h */ int bottom(int a); /* UnsafeFFITest.hs */ {-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-} import Foreign.C import Control.Concurrent main = do forkIO $ do safeBottom 1 return () yield print "Pass (expected)" forkIO $ do unsafeBottom 2 return () yield print "Pass (not expected)" foreign import ccall "cbit.h bottom" safeBottom :: CInt -> IO CInt foreign import ccall unsafe "cbit.h bottom" unsafeBottom :: CInt -> IO CInt
In the post, I explained that the reason this occurs is that unsafe FFI calls are not preemptible, so when unsafeBottom loops forever, the Haskell thread can't proceed.
This explanation would make perfect sense except for one problem: the code also hangs even when you run with the multi-threaded runtime system, with multiple operating system threads. David Barbour wrote in wondering if my claim that unsafe calls blocked the entire system was out of date. But the code example definitely does hang on versions of GHC as recent as 7.8.3. Based on the title of this post, can you guess the reason? If you think you know, what do these variants of the program do?
- Change main = to main = runInUnboundThread
- Change the second forkIO to forkOn 2
- Add a yield before unsafeBottom, and another yield before print "Pass (not expected)"
The reason why the code blocks, or, more specifically, why the main thread blocks, is because the unsafe FFI call is unpreemptibly running on the operating system thread which the main thread is bound to. Recall, by default, the main thread runs in a bound operating system thread. This means that there is a specific operating system thread which must be used to run code in main. If that thread is blocked by an FFI call, the main thread cannot run, even if there are other worker threads available.
We can thus explain the variants:
- main is run in an unbound thread, no blocking occurs, and thus the second print runs.
- By default, a forked thread is run on the same capability as the thread that spawned it (this is good, because it means no synchronization is necessary) so forcing the bad FFI call to run on a different worker prevents it from blocking main.
- Alternately, if a thread yields, it might get rescheduled on a different worker thread, which also prevents main from getting blocked.
So, perhaps the real moral of the story is this: be careful about unsafe FFI calls if you have bound threads. And note: every Haskell program has a bound thread: main!
Christopher Done: Proposal: bind
I often find myself writing:fmap (mu bar) (foo zot)
Then I decide to change the type of mu, so instead I want to just write:bind (mu bar) (foo zot)
Which is just like fmap but the function can run in the monad. Similar to traverse:(Traversable t, Applicative f) => (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b)
As someone who isn't a fan of operators, I generally am appreciative of alternative regular plain English word versions of functions, which I find easier to type, read and edit. Currently without defining such a handy name, I have to transform the code to this:mu bar =<< foo zot
The name for this function is a no-brainer ((>>=) is now pronnounced "bind"):bind :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b bind = (=<<)
For comparison, the not-very-pleasant <$> and <*> each have word alternatives, fmap and ap.
I submitted this to the haskell libraries mailing list, but include it here for future reference.
Oliver Charles: 24 Days of GHC Extensions: Recursive Do
Ordinarily, when we're programming computations under a monad, we're limited to forming bindings in the order they appear in a do block. However, there are a class of monads that support extra value recursion through the type class MonadFix. This extra functionality has special syntax support in GHC, and can be useful in a variety of situations.MonadFix and Recursive Bindings
First of all, we'll take a look at how MonadFix can be used to easily create recursive data structures. Before we get to that, lets look at a little program that works with rose trees. We'll begin with the definition of a rose tree:> {-# LANGUAGE RecursiveDo #-} > import Control.Monad.Fix > data RoseTree a = RoseTree a [RoseTree a] > deriving (Show)
A rose tree is a node paired up with a list of child trees. Thus this data structure is a simple model of a multi-way tree. One thing we'd like to be able to do with our rose trees is to pair each element in the tree with the largest element in the entire tree. For example, if we have the following:> exampleTree :: RoseTree Int > exampleTree = RoseTree 5 [RoseTree 4 [], RoseTree 6 []]
then we can pair each item in the tree with the biggest element - 6:.> pureMax exampleTree RoseTree (5, 6) [RoseTree (4, 6) [], RoseTree (4, 6) []]
On the surface, we might think that this operation should take two traversals of the tree - one to find out what the largest element is, and then another pass through the tree to change all the elements. Interestingly, this can actually be done in a single pass, if we exploit laziness! Here's how:> pureMax :: Ord a => RoseTree a -> RoseTree (a, a) > pureMax tree = > let (t, largest) = go largest tree > in t > where > go :: Ord a => a -> RoseTree a -> (RoseTree (a, a), a) > go biggest (RoseTree x []) = (RoseTree (x, biggest) [], x) > go biggest (RoseTree x xs) = > let sub = map (go biggest) xs > (xs', largests) = unzip sub > in (RoseTree (x, biggest) xs', max x (maximum largests))
If you've not seen this before - this may seem a little cryptic! Let's take it slowly. We walk through our tree with the go function. go takes two paremeters - one is the tree that we're working on, while the other is the known largest element. But wait… don't we need to calculate the largest element? You're right - and that's exactly what we do in go.
Notice that go returns two values - the relabelled rose tree, along with the known largest element in that tree. The magic happens right at the start of pureMax - notice that we pattern match to bind the variable largest, though we also feed in largest to relabel the trees.
What's happening is that we're exploiting lazy evaluation - what we actually do is relabel the tree with a thunk at every node. Once we've finished recursing the entire tree, we've got enough information, should we need to force that node. This technique is known as circular programming, and Richard Bird has a lovely write up on a similar problem - the repmin problem.
So far, we've seen a pure solution to the problem, but what happens if we need to use effectful computations to determine the largest value? For example, let's work with an exclusive secret santa. In this exclusive secret santa, people can invite others into the game - forming a tree of invites. Furthermore, we also have a database lookup function that will tell us what their budget is. We'd like to be able to relabel the invite tree with the minimum budget for fairness. If we had a tree of budgets, that would be easy - we could just use a variation of pureMax above. However, determining the budget requires a database lookup.
It looks like we're stuck, but what we can do is make an effectful variation of pureMax:> impureMin :: (MonadFix m, Ord b) => (a -> m b) -> RoseTree a -> m (RoseTree (a, b)) > impureMin f tree = do > rec (t, largest) <- go largest tree > return t > where > go smallest (RoseTree x []) = do > b <- f x > return (RoseTree (x, smallest) [], b) > > go smallest (RoseTree x xs) = do > sub <- mapM (go smallest) xs > b <- f x > let (xs', bs) = unzip sub > return (RoseTree (x, smallest) xs', min b (minimum bs))
If you compare this to pureMax you should notice that the programs are very similar. Infact, all we've had to do is replace the pure let x = y bindings with effectful x <- y bindings, and call out to our effectful function. Finally, the magic sauce at the top is to use a new piece of syntax rec. rec comes from the RecursiveDo extension, and while the details are beyond the scope of this post (there's a whole thesis on it!), we can see here that it serves the same purpose as forming recursive bindings, as we did with let.
To wrap up this example, let's work with some test data and see how it all plays out:> budget :: String -> IO Int > budget "Ada" = return 10 -- A struggling startup programmer > budget "Curry" = return 50 -- A big-earner in finance > budget "Dijkstra" = return 20 -- Teaching is the real reward > budget "Howard" = return 5 -- An frugile undergraduate! > inviteTree = RoseTree "Ada" [ RoseTree "Dijkstra" [] > , RoseTree "Curry" [ RoseTree "Howard" []] > ]
Now we can ask our system what budget we should use.> impureMin budget inviteTree RoseTree ("Ada",5) [RoseTree ("Dijkstra",5) [],RoseTree ("Curry",5) [RoseTree ("Howard",5) []]]
Alright, 5 gold coins it is!
In this post I've shown just one of many things that can be done with RecursiveDo syntax. Another common usage of this extension is in reactive-banana - here it's possible for reactive behaviors to depend on events, where the events sample the same behavior. A more extreme example (if you really want a headache!) is the Tardis monad - a monad where data can travel forwards and backwards in time!
- Dan Fornika points out that another cool use case of this extension is in implementing jump labels for assembly code.

Alp Mestanogullari: Rethinking webservice and APIs in Haskell: servant 0.2
Earlier this year, I announced the first version of servant. The goal was to speed up webservice development by getting rid of as much boilerplate as possible. It definitely was an improvement but not quite enough. Assisted this time with Sönke Hahn (of Nikki and the Robots fame) and Julian Arni, two of my now ex-coworkers, we completely rewrote everything and came up with a new way to describe webservices APIs in Haskell. This post introduces servant 0.2, which now lives in its own github org.
 Webservice APIs as types
The meat of the new servant is the fact that we now describe webservice APIs as types. And we write these types by combining "API combinators", that each have a precise meaning. We use type-level string literals for static fragments of an endpoint.
Let's build a webservice to manage an imaginary userbase.data User = User { firstName :: !Text , lastName :: !Text } deriving (Eq, Show, Generic) instance ToJSON User instance FromJSON User -- corresponds to: GET /users -- returning a JSON-encoded list of User's. type UserAPI = "users" :> Get [User] userAPI :: Proxy UserAPI userAPI = Proxy server :: Server UserAPI server = listUsers where listUsers = return $ Data.Map.elems users users :: Data.Map.Map Int64 User users = Data.Map.fromList [ (0, User "john" "doe") , (1, User "jane" "doe") ] -- spin up a warp server that serves our API main :: IO () main = run 8080 (serve userAPI server)
Endpoints are separated from one another with :<|>, similar to Alternative's <|> separating alternative parsers. URL Captures, GET parameters, request bodies and headers are strongly typed and only made available to server handlers by explicit mentions in the type for the corresponding endpoint. They automatically become arguments to the handler functions.
Here's our previous example expanded to make use of these few features.data User = User { firstName :: !Text , lastName :: !Text } deriving (Eq, Show, Generic) instance ToJSON User instance FromJSON User -- list all users: GET /users type UserAPI = "users" :> Get [User] -- view a particular user: GET /users/:userid :<|> "users" :> Capture "userid" Int64 :> Get User -- search for users: GET /users/search?q=<some text> :<|> "users" :> "search" :> QueryParam "q" Text :> Get [User] userAPI :: Proxy UserAPI userAPI = Proxy server :: Server UserAPI server = listUsers :<|> viewUserById :<|> searchUser where listUsers = return $ Data.Map.elems users -- the captured userid gets automatically passed to this function viewUserById userid = maybe (left (404, "user not found")) return $ Data.Map.lookup userid users -- the 'q' GET parameter's value automatically passed to this function, -- if present. searchUser Nothing = return [] -- no ?q=something specified searchUser (Just q) = return . Data.Map.elems . Data.Map.filter (userLike q) $ users userLike q usr = q `isInfixOf` firstName usr || q `isInfixOf` lastName usr users :: Data.Map.Map Int64 User users = Data.Map.fromList [ (0, User "john" "doe") , (1, User "jane" "doe") ] -- spin up a warp server that serves our API main :: IO () main = run 8080 (serve userAPI server)
This combinator-based approach lets us define server-side behavior and data-dependency with types, letting the library handle all the GET parameter/capture/request body extraction and letting you worry only about what you need to do with these values. But that doesn't stop there. servant can also generate Haskell and Javascript functions to query servant webservices and API docs.

Should I use pwstore-fast?
I'm relatively new to Haskell. I convinced my employers that we should use it for an M2M we're building internally. I've been happily hacking away for a couple months and enjoying every second.
Today I came to a question that I know I cannot get wrong: how should I hash my passwords?
I've used the SHA library for computing shasums on file transfers so I started there, but I'd like the library to also take care of some of the other cruft of password management.
pwstore-fast seems to do just that. The interface looks very simple and appealing, but I still don't know how to vet a Haskell library. I checked out the Github page and saw it had been a while since the last commit, but that doesn't necessarily tell me anything about the quality.
So I guess I have three questions: * Is there a standard library everyone is using for password hashing? * Is pwstore-fast a trusted and effective one? * Does anyone have tips for vetting libraries short of reading the source code and assuming I'll know if it's right?
Edit: Looking a little closer in Github, it appears that the project is more active than it first seemed. There was a PR as recent as October 3. I had only looked at the releases page, but the last release there is 2.3 whereas the most recent on Hackage is 2.4.4submitted by hans2504

FP Complete: Dropping GHC 7.4 support in FP Haskell Center
When we released FP Haskell Center 3.1, we deprecated our support for GHC 7.4. Till now, we've left that support in place to give users a grace window for upgrading to GHC 7.8. I'm announcing our plans to fully remove GHC 7.4 support in a near release, most likely FP Haskell Center 3.3.
One of the main reasons we are removing support is that the library versions compatible with GHC 7.4 are no longer being maintained.
If you are still actively using GHC 7.4 on FP Haskell Center, and would like us to consider extending its lifetime, please let us know (via the feedback link at the top of this page) in the next few weeks.

The GHC Team: GHC Weekly News - 2014/12/08
Hi *,
Once more, it's time for some news about GHC! This week's regularly scheduled programming (get it?) has brought you...
- As of last week, GHC officially has no more .lhs files in its source repository; instead, all files have been converted to .hs and are now much more consistent with each other: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007552.html
- Joachim Breitner has reported that the linker_unload test in GHC has been failing, but it's been surprisingly hard to reproduce reliably on our build machines! https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007528.html
- Moritz Angermann posted a proposal about the "Out of Process Template Haskell" project, started by the GHCJS developers. In short, they want to work out how to get Template Haskell working in a stage2 GHC for things like iOS or Browser devices: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007555.html
- Lennart Augustsson has an inquiry about his program: why is it running out of memory? But the stranger thing: why does it only run out if heap profiling is not enabled? Nobody has quite figured out, but if you're a guru, it may be a good chance to help out: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007582.html
- Yuras Shumovich tracked down some nasty bugs in the typechecker's linter, causing several programs to fail to work when compiled by GHC. A quick diagnosis, but no fix has been merged quite yet: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007580.html
- Richard Eisenberg wants feedback on a what he thinks is a design wart in the use of -XStandaloneDeriving, and he's not only proposed a solution, but wants to know what people think; typechecking fans are surely puzzling away already: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007589.html
- David Spies has run into an interesting situation: why does -O make his program slower instead of faster? Well, nobody has quite figured out why yet, but it's an interesting question - maybe on a lazy monday developer can help figure out: https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/thread.html
- Richard E. has another thread on the list, this time about development work flows: what do we do about painful merges? https://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-December/007586.html

Hi Vivek / Rahul,
As per our last mailing discussion, i deployed bindgraph and it is working fine.But it is not giving statistics regarding cache hit queries or similar reports by which we can differentiate cache hit ratio from total QPS.
Do you know any other tool or something which can give us statistics for cacheing dns server.

India has emerged as one of the top ten manufacturers of the world in 2010, driven mainly by its strong economic growth, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has said.
According to UNIDO's publication, 'International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics 2011,' released in Vienna on Thursday, India, together with other leading developing economies such as Brazil and China, showed strong performance in economic growth in 2010. The manufacturing value added (MVA) of these three countries grew by over 10 per cent in 2010 (at constant U.S. dollars of 2,000).
"Thanks to the high growth rates achieved by developing countries, their share in world manufacturing output has reached 32 per cent compared to 20 per cent 10 years ago," UNIDO said in a statement here.
India tops developing countries (China excluded) in production of textiles, chemical products, basic metals, general machinery and equipment, and electrical machinery. "India has overtaken Brazil in the production of motor vehicles and now ranks second among developing countries after Mexico," the statement said.
However, India's Asian competitors — Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines — are ahead in the production of electronic goods such as computers and office equipment, radio, television and other communication equipment, it said.
With world manufacturing showing first signs of recovery from the recent financial crisis, the UNIDO has estimated the global MVA to have grown by 5.3 per cent in 2010. Since 2006, this was the first year when industrialised countries showed a growing trend in industrial production.
The Yearbook has revealed that while the MVA of industrialised countries grew by 3.4 per cent in 2010, the developing economies were, however, the major force of world industrial growth. "In 2010, [the] MVA of developing countries grew by 9.4 per cent," it said.

Scrapbooking for Money
One Person's Trash Is Another's Treasure
Lots of people think of starting a home business and surely wanting it to pay them a "wage" when all is said and done.
Many of our friends had prodded me for years to sell my homemade jam and jelly, but it costs a lot of money for the fruits and berries. It also costs a lot of money for the fruit, pectin and sugar. My thoughts were, yes, this is a good idea, I make wonderful jam and jelly, but would people want to pay $10 a jar for it? I didn't think so.
We started out to save money for ourselves when we bought our old farmhouse seven years ago. We have eight children and 16 grandchildren and it was becoming more and more expensive to make enough jam and jelly to supply all of them throughout the year. We planted fruit trees, apple, peach, quince, pear and plum. We planted strawberries, blackberries, red raspberries and have many black raspberries around our property. We have elderberries, grapes and blueberries in the wild within a short drive from us. So we started gathering all the fruit that we could get for free.
I still had the issue of the fruit pectin until I met an Amish lady when I stopped at her store for a few things. She introduced me to "Dutch Gel." It is the most amazing fruit pectin. It also only costs about 20 cents per batch of jam or jelly. WOW, when I could cut my cost this much, the thought of a small business looked more inviting to me. I had been paying about $2.00 per batch buying the fruit pectin available at super markets.
My Amish friend Bertha also introduced me to "Clear Gel," which is used in making pie fillings. I now make all of my own pie fillings during the summer and fall months and can them for use throughout the year. This has been a very substantial savings to our family.
Did I start the business? You bet! And it is doing very well. I can now produce the jam and jelly at a price that people will pay and I get much satisfaction growing my own fruit and berries for the jam and jelly. We only use oranges that we have to buy as we can't grow oranges in upstate NY too easily, but if you give me time, I may find a way to do that.
From the jam and jelly, I ventured into soap making and other toiletries which can be made here at home. We are now collecting Social Security and had to find a way to not only save money, but to make a little extra on the side. We grow all of our own herbals and flowers that go into the soap, which is a huge saving also.

you know, as i was helping my dad tear apart his kitchen last night, listening to uecker call the game, i realized something....
everyone else in the league listening to baseball right now, is NOT listening to uecker.
that must really suck.
Agreed, especially if you listen to Sterling and Waldman flub their way through Yankees games.
Been awhile since I checked in on this thread. So let me just GO RANGERS!!!! Seven games up on the Angels with one to go for the sweep in Anahiem. I feel another World Series visit in our future.
Let's go Rays!
Ouch. The Brewers lost their fifth game... of the last twenty-nine. :-)

I love asking a billion questions (went to school for journalism), meeting new people, exploring, travelling (obviously), reading & writing for fun, scuba diving, etc. etc. etc.!
Lived for 2.5 years in Stockholm, Sweden growing up - was the greatest experience of my life, can't wait to go back. I'm looking to travel this summer to Europe for a few months.
I have seen WAY TOO MANY movies of every kind. One of my majors in school was in film studies.
Music - I'm pretty into anything that's catchy, especially if there's a banjo involved.

Remember back when Alex Ovechkin played the swashbuckling superhero, scoring goals at a pace no one else in the league could, slamming bodies to the ice and boards like a wrecking ball, and grinning that gap-toothed smile through a scraggly beard with shaggy hair flowing out from underneath his helmet, infuriating opponents, officials and the Canadian media at every turn?
What's that you say? Everything old is new again?
In his past two games, Alex Ovechkin's on-ice actions have been met with derision from his opponents and media across the country. First, Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf called him a "diver" in response to this retaliatory slash.
Then, in Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, Ovechkin gave Kris Letang a pretty healthy slash across the ankles and the diminutive Letang crashed hard into the end boards, which caused the Penguins to really get off their game chasing the Caps around instead of concentrating on winning the game. Arguably, Ovechkin could (should) have been called for a two minute minor on the play, but the on-ice officials really let the game get out of hand.
By the reaction of the Penguins media contingent, you'd think Ovechkin assaulted Letang a la Todd Bertuzzi, instead of chopping at a puck in the offensive zone and ending up on Letang's boot.
Regardless, until recently Ovechkin has kept his nose fairly clean with regards to this type of activity. But it seems as if Ovechkin has his "edge" back, for lack of a better term.
For the first several years of his career, Ovechkin was a devil-may-care dervish, playing with reckless abandon. He was suspended several times for roughness as he plowed through defenders as often as he scored goals, making enemies across the league.
The Great 8 was often criticized for his rough play, and specific members of the Canadian media took every opportunity to tear down Ovechkin for anything the Russian player ever did — namely, being non-Canadian.
For the past several seasons, though, until very recently, Ovechkin has been a much more mild-mannered version of himself. As early playoff series losses mounted, as coaches came and went, as schemes became more and more defense-oriented, as he was asked to change positions, at times Ovechkin seemed joyless, a lesser version of himself.
Gone was the gap-toothed smile much of the time. Gone was the leap into the glass after scoring big goals. Gone, mostly, were the bone-shattering questionable hits.
A search for "What's wrong with Alex Ovechkin?" yields 32 million hits.
Sure, Ovechkin still scored goals and delivered hits by the dozen. But it just didn't seem like he had his old swagger, beaten down by playoff and Olympic losses.
At the start of this season, he was scoring, but not at his normal rate, as he — as well as the rest of the team — adjusted to Barry Trotz' systems. But over his last 27 games, Ovechkin has 24 goals. He's simply carrying his team.
And now, he's getting under the skin of his opponents as well. It seems like he's enjoying himself more and more on the ice. Maybe it's just coincidence that his contract with Gillette ran out over the winter and Ovechkin had returned to the scruffy look. Maybe it's not.
Maybe that stupid shaving contract was a metaphor for Ovechkin being forced into something he was not. Maybe now, after several seasons of "What's Wrong with Ovechkin" we're seeing the "real" Ovi back on the ice.
It's been too long.

Free agent roundup: Look for price of big men to rise
Updated: April 7, 2006, 3:03 PM ETBy Chris Sheridan | ESPN Insider
When summertime comes and the Detroit Pistons and Ben Wallace sit down to discuss a new contract, Big Ben won't have his longtime agent working on his behalf. Wallace fired the agent, Steve Kaufman, a few months ago and plans to replace him with an attorney who will bill him on an hourly basis. If he wants a trade kicker in his deal, Wallace had better hope his new attorney knows how to get one. If he wants bonus payments for making the All-Star team, winning the NBA championship or being named Defensive Player of the Year, that new lawyer had better be proficient in the collective bargaining agreement language pertaining to bonuses he is likely or unlikely to earn. Normally, an agent would take care of those types of details -- as well as playing the Pistons off any other potential suitors. But the fact that Wallace will be going the cheap route in the biggest negotiation of his career is the surest sign of all that he's dead set on staying with the Pistons when he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. "The last thing I need at this point in my career is someone taking 4 percent of my next contract," Wallace told ESPN.com last week, raising his eyebrows but declining to comment when it was pointed out that the Chicago Bulls might be in the market for his services if they truly believed he was available. Instead, the Bulls will almost certainly look elsewhere to fill their big man needs when they enter this summer as the No. 1 player on the free agency market. Depending on the size of the salary cap, the Bulls should have some $15 million to $20 million to play with. One problem, however, is how the caliber of available centers drops off after Wallace. And with the Toronto Raptors also seeking some size on the open market (they are one of only a few teams -- Chicago and Charlotte among them -- with significant cap room), the price of big men might inflate. That is why Nazr Mohammed and Joel Przybilla are getting ranked higher than other players with more talent as ESPN.com breaks down the free agent class of 2006 into an updated Top 25. (All free agents are unrestricted unless otherwise noted. Restricted free agents are subject to having offers matched by their current teams.) The Top 25:

whats the best washing machine out there
grouseNovember 2, 2007
hey gang, my wife and i have lived in our home for five years. We bought a sears kenmore washer when we first moved in. the kenmore dryer works fine. but the washing machine has bitten the dust. the spin cycle no longer works. clothes come out soaked. i really dont want to have a repairman come over and fix the problem knowing that it may break down again. we do at least one wash per day, some days multiple washings. i would rather save the hundred or two hundred for repairs and buy a new one. What can any of you out here recommend. Are the maytags really the most reliable? thank you for any tips.

Comments Thread For: Canelo Says He Demanded Trout To Avenge Rigoberto
Saul Canelo Alvarez never had any reservations about fighting Austin Trout, even if his handlers werent as ambitious. The 22-year old Mexican superstar couldnt care less about the risk-reward ration that comes with facing the American southpaw while both are unbeaten and in their respective primes.
For Alvarez, April 20 goes way beyond a unification match. Its about restoring family honor, something thats weighed on his mind for the past two years.
I remember that fight clearly, Alvarez says of night in Feb. 2011 when Trout marched into Mexico to serve up a boxing lesson to older brother Rigoberto Alvarez to win a vacant 154 lb belt. I was at ringside for that fight when he beat my brother and I felt helpless. [Click Here To Read More]

Saul had nowhere to run after Austin carefully dismissed Cotto.
He finally had to step up to the plate.
Austin Trout stops Saul Alvarez on cuts in the ninth stanza.

Natural Costa Rican materials have been combined with old world craftsmanship to create a stunning oasis on the coveted Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Our custom Interior is finished using local hardwood and stone throughout. We wanted a Costa Rican home fashioned with local materials. It's first class all the way.....Sub-zero, Bosch and other fabulous appliances.
On the ocean's edge, you will find this 2300 square foot private residence and luxurious beachfront sanctuary. The property is located near the end of a secluded cove, is gated and has 24-hr security. A beautiful vanishing edge pool overlooks the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the soft, white sand of Playa Flamingo, providing the ultimate location
This is undoubtedly the best location on the beach in Gaunacaste. Come and enjoy our wonderful home, listen to the birds, lounge on either of the 2 large decks over-looking the pool and ocean or just relax inside the air conditioned luxury. There are many gourmet restaurants in the area. You may also wish to try your hand at cooking in the gourmet kitchen.
After either a busy or relaxing day enjoying the endless pool and spectacular sunsets.
...fall asleep to the sound of the surf.
I live in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I am not yet retired but, can get away for extended vacations. I love to be in a warm place in 'winter', away from all that rain! I enjoy reading and relaxing at The Palms on Flamingo Beach. It is the ideal situation for me to just sit back and get away from all the daily 'business' of life.
Elyne Johnson purchased this villa in 2000
I had always dreamed of a vacation home on the beach. After researching all the potential places in the world, I chose Costa Rica. I traveled there and went from Coast to Coast .....finallly ending my search on the white sands of Flamingo Beach. The particular unit I purchased was previously owned by a lovely couple from England. It was the first ever to sell in the complex! It is a corner unit and I feel is on the best location of any in the entire place.I call it the Madiera (wood in Spanish) House. It has all native and natural products from flooring to cabinetry. I just love the authenticity of the finishings.
This unit has two Master Bedroom Suites, both with 'King-Size' beds. The beach-side Master suite has a private Jacuzzi Tub in the Bathroom with views right out to the beach. the unit also has lots of storage and hanging space for clothes and luggage plus, a great little built-in desk for the computer. There's lots of new beach equipment onsite. Examples are: a long board for surfing, 2 stand-up paddle boards, 4 boogie-boards, various sized masks and fins for snorkeling and some sand 'toys'.
What a wonderful holiday! Costa Rica was on my bucket list so when the opportunity came up we jumped at it. Our villa at the Palms was beautiful. Spacious, modern, comfortable and a great well stocked kitchen.
Being so close to the pool and ocean was heaven. The staff at the Palms are wonderful - friendly, helpful and professional.
We arrived in late so Jorge, the property manager had gone out shopping so we would have breakfast supplies the next morning, He also arranged for our rental car for our last few days so we could drive to the Arenal Volcano and Hot Springs. While at the Palms, we walked to local restaurants, numerous beaches and the town of Flamingo Beach. You can get a wonderful massage right on the beach at the Palms and use paddle boards, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment.
Our stay couldn't have been better. Elyne has done a wonderful job on her gem of a place in Costa Rica!
As we passed through the gate into The Palms, our anticipation grew. When Jorge greeted us and opened the front door of the villa, we saw a wall of windows and the magnificent white sand and blue water of Playa Flamingo. We knew then that Elyne had accurately described this paradise. First the actual unit - granite countertops, first rate appliances (Viking, Subzero) and a completely outfitted kitchen. Multiple flat screen TV's, beautiful wood cabinetry, tasteful furnishings, and marble baths (3!). We felt like privileged guests in a "magazine-beautiful" home.
When we stepped onto the stone patio we faced a large infinity pool and beyond that the clean, wide, white sand beach. The pool was very beautiful and the drink/food service was comparable to staying at a top resort. The drinks were expertly prepared by the friendly and engaging pool bartender. The food was prepared to order and delivered as you wished: either poolside, on your patio, or in the home. During our seven day stay we were treated as owners - greeted with smiles, accommodated in every way, and made to feel welcome. Fresh towels were laid out on our patio chairs every morning, and if you wanted a fresh towel at any point you only needed to take one from the pool area - they were constantly refreshed and available.
The on-site concierge expertly recommended a day trip with private driver to a zip-lining excursion, along with a water slide (terrifying - only for the very, very brave), a hot-mud treatment, volcanic hot springs and a gourmet 5 course lunch. On the ride back to The Palms our driver detoured to take us to a monkey habitat and even arranged for us to hold a rescued "howler" monkey - a true highlight of our trip.
All-in-all we enjoyed a perfect seven days at The Palms - we highly recommend Elyne's Villa -- you will not be disappointed!
We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. First of all, Jorge the property manager did a great job making us feel at home. He was very cordial and very helpful to us. The cleaning staff also did a wonderful job, exceeded our expectation. The condo was first rate, and I like the owner Elyne's personal touches throughout the condo. We travelled with another family who also rented another unit at the Palms. Their unit was not as nice and they did not get the same service we did. We stayed 8 days in Costa Rica with our two children. We took a number of excursions and every time we looked forward to getting back to the condo whether relaxing at the beach/pool or just hang out at the property. Elyne, thank you for the amazing condo that allowed us to better enjoy our vacation. We travel internationally quite a bit and this year's vacation will rank up there among the best.
This is a beautiful resort and Palms #7 is just as described on the website. We had a wonderful time. Elyne (the owner), her manager (Jorge), and all of the staff at the Palms did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. It is a quiet, off-the-beaten-path sort of place but there are nice restaurants nearby and there are plenty of tours that are available if you get bored with just relaxing. It was our first trip and we'll definitely be back.
Wow, what a place. My wife and three teenage daughters (ages 18, 16 and 13) had the pleasure of staying in Villa 7 at the Palms during Spring Break this year. It was one of best vacations we have taken as a family. First the Villa. It really is like a second home with all of the amenities that you need. All high end appliances, and from top to bottom, it was very easy to see that Villa 7 was very well maintained. The location of Villa 7 was great. Literally, it is steps away from the infinity edge pool and a few more steps from the beach. The complex has a variety of SUP boards, a surf board, boogie boards and a bunch of other beach items which are available to use at no cost. All of the staff who maintained the complex were very nice and eager to please. Playa Flamingo and the complex itself is very safe, and is the perfect place to stay for adults by themselves or families. Definitley rent a car and drive from Liberia. Very easy and no hassle. The Costa Rican people are easily the nicest people we have met during our travels.
We stayed for a week and each day did some type of excursion in the morning. One morning it was surf lessons at Pointe Break surfing school, another ATV tour, another zip lines and the final was a full day sailboat tour. All easily accessible from the Palms. We cooked in a few nights as there were two easily located grocery stores that had everything we needed. The other nights we walked down the beach about a 100 yards to a restaurant named Coco Loco and dined right on the beach.
If you are looking for beautiful lodgings on an uncrowded beach in a safe country, with activities available so you can be as laid back or active as you want, then this place is for you.
A special shout out needs to go to the owner Elyne. She was very responsive and organized which made the renting very easy. Elyne also had her property manager secure a rental car for us so all we had to do was get off plane, take shuttle to rental agency and then drive 55 minutes to the Villa. No muss, no fuss. John in Atlanta.
This was our first time using leasing a vacation rental as we are/were a resorts family but following our trip to the Palms I am certain we will be back. The owner Elyne is perfect as the listing is exactly correct but the pictures and glowing comments cannot do this wonderful home and development justice. First comments on Elyne's assistance; as an owner she really knows the local area and is very generous with her time aiding you in every respect with email response times that were very impressive. This providing tremendous comfort as we traveled 3,000 miles to visit her home. Elyne's local manger Jorge is great as he aids you in making reservations and suggesting day trips and activities (after the first day our daughter burned herself, I called Jorge to find a local drug store and before I could say anything he stopped by a drug store and delivered a medicated cream, great service, thanks Jorge). As to her home, well the pictures do give you an overview to this home, but to be clear the location is outstanding on a peaceful white sand beach right out of the movies. The home is spacious with both bedrooms being on the second floor, each floor has 2 large patio/decks with views of the pool and ocean and containing comfortable lounges and chairs to relax and enjoy the awesome sunsets! Everything was perfectly maintained and very high end within the home. There was an issue with the dishwasher during our first two days and Elyne arranged for maid service to clean and mange the dishes until the repair parts arrived and when the repair company came to the Villa Jorge was there and we were never inconvenienced in any way. The Villa is within a community of homes wherein there is an expert staff making for an absolutely five star resort with food and drinks available by the pool or delivered to your Villa and with their expert Chef Roy you could have dinner delivered or set on the beach to dine at sunset. The staff were extremely well trained and focused on making every moment you were on their grounds or using the pool feel as if you were their honored guest. To summarize, Elyne is the best owner, the location is outstanding as the beach has the best combination of white sands wonderful waves and privacy. The home is top notch with every need covered all done in a very elegant manner. The Palms community was every bit of a five star resort on the beach. Just outstanding in every way. Thanks Elyne for the opportunity to enjoy your wonderful home!

A Place in the Sun is a famous, highly visible name in the UK - to the British public it simply means 'overseas property'.
It started life as a TV show first broadcast in 2000 and since then the programme and its presenters have become part of popular TV culture. A Place in the Sun and its highly successful spin-off series A Place in the Sun: Home or Away? are all about buying property abroad and opening up a world of opportunity to the British public.
In 2005 A Place in the Sun Live was launched which quickly became the largest overseas property exhibition in Europe.
The event usually takes place in the spring at Olympia London followed by the autumn event at the NEC Birmingham. In 2015 we are adding an additional exhibition in Manchester in March due to the high demand from visitors and exhibitors.
The most recent show at the NEC in Birmingham in October 2014 was the busiest show since 2007 indicating renewed interest in the overseas property market from British buyers. To see what our exhibitors thought of the show, see 'Testimonials.'
The centre-piece of A Place in the Sun Live is the Hub where the stars of the TV show and industry experts give advice and insight on buying overseas property. In each of the four corners of the hall are the country-specific areas – the French Village, Florida Pavilion, Portuguese Pavilion and Italian Pavilion – with other exhibitors between. Whether you are an agent, developer, property lawyer, currency transfer business or other service provider, A Place in the Sun Live is the ideal environment to put your business in front of a motivated audience of property buyers.
If you want to reach British buyers, A Place in the Sun Live should be at the heart of your UK marketing strategy. With no other pure overseas property exhibition in the UK, these events present a unique opportunity to meet and talk to prospective buyers – a genuinely qualified audience.
In 2015 A Place in the Sun Live:
- Manchester Central: 13th – 15th March 2015
- Olympia London: 8th – 10th May 2015
- NEC Birmingham: 25th - 27th September 2015
A Place in the Sun Live October 2014 and was a great success.
The exhibition saw an increase of 30% in visitor numbers with 6,536 people through the doors over the course of the three days, resulting in hugely positive feedback from exhibitors.
UK buyers mean business. They buy homes overseas for a number of reasons – holidays, investment, retirement – and have consistently bought more overseas properties than other nationalities. Interest in new destinations is once again increasing, though the long-time favourites of Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and Florida remain popular choices for second home ownership.

Victorian Carolers
Got this sign finished today. I need to remember to take pics before I spray the gloss sealer on. Hard to get a good pic without glare, thus the shots from an angle--sorry. I wiped it down with a coat of Old English after I took the pics, I think it sort of tones it down and blends the colors nicely.
Sorry, Kathi, I hadn't seen your questions. It's just for me, I love Victorian things so knew I wanted to paint it as soon as I saw it. It was in a book by Delane Lange that I got at the TS for 49 cents! In fact, I was surprised to see another pattern in the same book that I had done in painting class many many years ago! LOL I think I have some other Victorian people that I have saved--just hesitate to do the really detailed pieces. Doing facial features really make me nervous, in fact, I often hold my breath--like I think that will help! LOL Do you have a favorite style or artist? Have you collected a million patterns throughout the years too? Luvs
Hey!! I'm finally getting here to view your carolers! Feels like I've been gone for a week. ha Maybe I have. ha Anyway, I LOVE them! You did a fantastic job. I've never seen any patterns like them. A very different style and I love em. Good price on the book too! Your lettering is perfect and you did their faces great. Now were the roses on the pattern or did you add those in cause they look wonderful with this piece. It's looks to be pretty big. Is this something that you'll put over a door or where will you display it?
PS....I hold my breath sometimes too. hahaha Especially when it's something like painting straight lines or my lettering. :D
Hi Anj, I sorta knew this one would surprise you--not what I usually paint. I just knew when I saw it that I wanted to paint it. The roses were part of the pattern--they are just what I call "mock" roses, just a blob of paint then a few c strokes across them, but they give the impression of roses. Not sure where it is going to go yet. Might end up in my bedroom in place of a couple pics in there.
Were you surprised to see this instead of the R. Mullins snowman,santa, and reindeer one? I have that one started, but just not yet finished. Have to take a detour and do a couple of projects with cats to send to a friend. Hope I can get them done by the end of the week, and get back to the Christmas one.
I was pleasantly surprised! ha It's not your usual and I'm sure the faces intimidated you a little at first, but you did a wonderful job on them really.
I hope you'll post your cats and can't wait to see the R. Mullins one too. I've still got to give my pail a base coat to get started on my R. Mullins one. Need to get started on some of these Christmas things. Oh and finish my pilgrim bear. Maybe I'll work on him today some. ~Anj
