John Fogerty Classic Duets Set Coming In May
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
John Fogerty will release his long-awaited duets collection, Wrote A Song For Everyone, on May 28th. The album, which has been several years in the making, features high profile collaborations on Fogerty's classic songs -- including many of his Creedence Clearwater Revival standards. Highlights on the set include Bob Seger on "Who'll Stop The Rain," "Fortunate Son" with Foo Fighters, "Lodi" with Fogerty's sons Shane and Tyler -- along with "Born On The Bayou" with Kid Rock, which was used by NFL Network in their coverage of last weekend's Super Bowl. Other contributors include My Morning Jacket, Keith Urban, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Tom Morello, Jennifer Hudson, and Allen Toussaint.
Fogerty talked about the album to American Songwriter, explaining, "I encouraged each of these artists to come up with their own vision of my song, rather than just redoing what I'd recorded in the past. I was hoping they'd have some different twist so it would be fresh, so I'd have to work, too. I wanted it to be something new."
Since he returned to performing his Creedence classics in concert over 15 years ago, John Fogerty has maintained that the songs are able to reflect his past while staying a part of his future: "I sure don't want to be a 'retro' person at all. Y'know, that's one of the reasons I never wanted to tour under the name Creedence Clearwater -- whatever. Those days are long, long, gone, and I'm just too current and competitive -- I mean, I have things to do now."
The tracklisting to Wrote A Song For Everyone is:
"Fortunate Son" with Foo Fighters
"Almost Saturday Night" with Keith Urban
"Lodi" with Shane Fogerty and Tyler Fogerty
"Mystic Highway" - John Fogerty solo
"Wrote A Song For Everyone" with Miranda Lambert featuring Tom Morello
"Bad Moon Rising" with Zac Brown Band
"Long As I Can See The Light" with My Morning Jacket
"Born On The Bayou" with Kid Rock
"Train Of Fools" - John Fogerty solo
"Someday Never Comes" with Dawes
"Who'll Stop The Rain" with Bob Seger
"Hot Rod Heart" with Brad Paisley

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Vanguard Overview
Vanguard is the natural heir of games like EverQuest. With an emphasis on group PvE, this game will appeal to social games and old schoolers alike. Very few classes are self sufficient, especially in the later levels ,which necessitates grouping to advance. Vanguard has great visuals, assuming you have the machine to handle it on the upper settings. Free trial players may be restricted to the tutorial zone, known as the Isle of Dawn but will still have a chance to experience all that the game has to offer including combat, crafting, harvesting, and diplomacy. The games races and classes include:
Races - Thestran Human, Dwarves, Halfling, High Elves, Vulmane, Varanjar, Lesser Giants, Kojani Humans, Wood Elves, Half Elves, Orc, Goblin, Raki, Qaliathari, Gnome, Dark Elves, Kurashasa, Mordebi Human, and Varanthari
Classes - Warrior, Paladin, Dread Knight, Ranger, Rogue, Monk, Bard, Cleric, Shaman, Disciple, Blood Mage, Sorcerer, Druid, Psionicist, and Necromancer

Vanguard Review
By Erhan Altay
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes was originally created by Sigil Games Online but is now developed and published by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), the same company behind many other pay-to-play MMORPGs including EverQuest, Star Wars Galaxies, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and Matrix Online. Rushed to release in early 2007, Vanguard was unfinished and nearly unplayable. Luckily, the game wasn't abandoned and after a year's worth of patches, is now in a much healthier state. If you've ever thought about giving Vanguard a try, keep the 14 day free trial period in mind and read on!
Decisions, Decisions!
Many of Vanguard's lead designers were involved with the development of the original EverQuest and nowhere is this more apparent than in the number of races and classes players can choose from. Vanguard takes things a step further than EQ and has a whopping 19 race and 15 class options. Not all races can play as all classes and each race has its own unique racial strengths & weaknesses. The races are categorized by which of the three continents they originate from. The Thestra continent is based on the geography of Eastern Europe, Kojan has an oriental feel and consists of a series of islands, and Qalia is the obligatory desert continent based on the Middle East / Africa. Actually, describing the continents to you was somewhat useless since all trial accounts start on and are restricted to a forth location: The Isle of Dawn, but more on that later.
Cosmetic Dreams
Vanguard has one of the most in-depth appearance customization systems I've ever seen. The only game in the same league would have to be the free-to-play MMORPG Perfect World. There are literally dozens of sliders for such mundane things as nose width, shoulder length, foot size, arm size, arm length, and so on. Of course female characters have one extra slider — breast size, which is always fun to play with. I encourage new players to take some time to create unique looking character but don't be too concerned since Vanguard allows players to change their appearance in-game at any time. The only permanent character features are race, class, gender, and name.
Welcome to the Isle
As mentioned earlier, all free trial players start on the Isle of Dawn which is located outside the regular game world known as Telon. There are several towns and small encampments scattered across this island and enough quests to keep players occupied for days. It is a fairly large island despite being a mainly tutorial area that paying players can leave at any time. Upon arriving, players will notice that Vanguard's interface is similar to World of Warcraft's. Movement is done via the W,A,S,D keys, toolbars and hotkeys make navigation easier and the mouse is used to control the camera and target objects. There are plenty of graphic options available making it possible to run Vanguard on a dated machine but the game truly shines on the higher settings. The game's graphics reminded me of Oblivion, they have a realistic feel to them but are still obviously in the realm of fantasy. Environments are generally wide and open which can overwhelm players at first, especially when there are no other players around. Even with only 4 live servers (2 US, 1 EU, and 1 PvP), some areas are still very sparsely populated.
Start Alone, Finish Together
Despite which of the 15 classes you pick, you'll be spending the first few levels grinding it out alone. Quests are available from the start and it is encouraged that you complete them. Not only do they provide large experience boosts but also have useful rewards such as additional bags which expand inventory space. As you hunt monsters, you'll notice that your standing with various factions will either increase or decrease. This concept was first introduced in EQ and it is good to see it implemented in Vanguard. The experience rate is somewhat slow but this is mainly because the level cap is set pretty low at 50. The Isle of Dawn is large enough to keep players occupied until the late teens to early twenties. At this time, grouping with other players will become more and more a necessity since very few of the classes in Vanguard are built to fight alone. Before the Isle of Dawn, new players were thrown into the middle of the world and for the most part left to discover the game's features on their own. Now with the tutorial zone, many of Vanguard's non-combat related activities can be taught to new players in an orderly way.
Diplomacy and Crafting
Characters in Vanguard have three distinct levels, as you battle with monsters and complete quests your 'adventure level' will increase but not the other two. Crafting and Diplomacy are the two other major 'spheres' that are important enough to have their own levels. Crafting shouldn't be a new concept to those familiar with MMOPRPGs, it involves using resources gathered via the less important 'Harvesting' sphere to make gear, weapons, or other goods. Diplomacy is an interesting concept where players attempt to gain the favor of NPCs by challenging them to card games. Turns consist of playing cards like 'Compliment' or 'Good Point' to one-up your opponent. Victory yields buffs or special items. Special clothing is available to boost your chances of diplomatic success but even so, diplomacy is generally a dull feature that adds little to the game's enjoyment. The only people I've seen who bother with it are completionists who want to 'max out' there character after already hitting the max adventure level.
Vanguard is a much better product today than it was at launch and the fact that it has survived this long means it has found its niche. This isn't a game for PvP enthusiasts, while there are dueling options and an entire PvP focused server, PvP itself is of limited importance to the developers and to the player base in general. With so many races and classes there isn't even the pretence of balance which is fine since the classes weren't meant to be self sufficient in the first place. In many ways, Vanguard is EverQuest 2.5. Many recent MMORPG novelties such as flying mounts are available in Vanguard. Even a personal favorite, player housing is included. Players are given one house slot per account which they can decorate and where they can store extra items. If I could give SOE one piece of advice it would be to extend the tutorial by either allowing players to leave the Isle of Dawn or by getting rid of the 14 day trial and letting players explore the Isle of Dawn for as long as they like.
Final Verdict: Good
Vanguard is a polished PvE focused MMORPG with plenty of features including flying mounts, player housing, and over a dozen playable races and classes. The in-game world is large and beautiful but the free trial prevents players from exploring beyond the starting zone.

Before I begin, I would like to thank everyone for the positive feedback I and The Inyo Register have received for my inaugural column. IŌĆÖd also like to address the piece of fan mail I got: Thanks for the compli-ments, Mom. IŌĆÖll be out to fix your computer tomorrow. This week in the Geek World ŌĆ"
This week in the Geek World ŌĆ"
Comic-Con International: San Diego, known simply as Comic-Con, took place in, you guessed it, San Diego this past weekend, July 24-27. Despite humble beginnings, Comic-Con is now one of the biggest events of the year in geek culture and pop culture in general. Now no longer spotlighting comics, the convention has branched out to include TV shows, movies and video games, some connected to comics, others not.
The Mammoth Lakes Music Festival starts this Wednesday, July 23 and continues through Aug. 8 at Cerro Coso CollegeŌĆÖs Mammoth campus with evening concerts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.
Violinist Rebecca Hang, and her husband, cellist Brian Schuldt, founded the music festival 12 years ago. Asked how she would describe the festival, Hang lightheartedly replied, ŌĆ£The World Cup of Chamber Music.ŌĆØ
CruiseShip Volunteers and SR2 will both be performing for the first Sierra Solstice Celebration from 5-10 p.m. this Saturday at Mill Creek Station, nine miles north of Bishop off U.S. Highway 395. The venue is owned by Mary Lou Long and Roger Derryberry, who have put a lot of effort into turning it into a viable cultural center for the area, and both groups are excited to have the opportunity to perform on Mill Creek StationŌĆÖs uniquely beautiful outdoor stage at the base of a historical rock quarry.
Join local musical groups CruiseShip Volunteers and SR2 for the first Sierra Solstice Celebration next Saturday, June 21.
The event will be held from 5-10 p.m. at Mill Creek Station, 150 Mill Creek Rd. off U.S. Highway 395 about nine miles north of Bishop overlooking Round Valley. ┬Ā
The open mic sessions hosted every other Thursday at Black Sheep Coffee Roasters, 232 N. Main St., Bishop, have moved to every other Friday, beginning tomorrow, June 13.
Stop by from 6-8 p.m. for a beverage, including tap and bottled beer, and a bite to eat, and some imported and local talent on stage.
ŌĆ£Existential terror, in the case of Robert HarmonŌĆÖs ŌĆśThe HitcherŌĆÖ (1986), means an unmotivated viciousness thatŌĆÖs as cryptic at the storyŌĆÖs end as it was in the beginning. The film, which owes a things or two to Steven SpielbergŌĆÖs early ŌĆśDuel,ŌĆÖ concerns the mysterious antagonism that springs up between two strangers who meet on the highway.ŌĆØ Thus begins Janet MaslinŌĆÖs review for the New York Times which goes onto basically pan the movie. Other critics also generally wrote negatively about the film.
The landscapes used in ŌĆ£Gerry,ŌĆØ directed by Gus Van Sant, begin in Argentina, progress to many places in Death Valley, and end in Utah on a salt lake. There are two characters, friends, both named Gerry who take off for a hike and end up getting lost. They donŌĆÖt talk too much in the rest of the film, and when they do they use a slang particular to their long friendship.
Mostly they walk, and walk and walk.
Ron Valenzuela, as likable and gullible Will Parker, looks on as Cristian Herrera, playing the shifty but fun peddler Ali Hakim, dips Patti Cook as she portrays the hilarious Ado Annie in Playhouse 395ŌĆÖs current production of ŌĆ£Oklahoma!ŌĆØ There are three more chances to see local actors on stage in the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein musical: 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday in the Dorothy Joseph Auditorium at Bishop Union High School. Tickets are available at the door one hour before the show. Theater doors open 30 minutes before the show.
Reno-based rock band The Kanes will be making a much-anticipated stop in Bishop this week on their Northwest Tour.
The trio, fresh on the success of their 2013 album ŌĆ£Black Magic,ŌĆØ will be performing a free, all-ages show at RaymondŌĆÖs Deli tomorrow Friday, March 14. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and The Kanes perform at 8. Lena Graves will open.
ŌĆ£Black MagicŌĆØ has received critical success, and was awarded Top Local Album of 2013 by the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Online reviews have been just as positive.

Snow days add a week of book days
Friday, May 10, 2013
DOVER — Though the time off was no doubt enjoyed during the winter months, the number of snow days for most local districts has pushed the end of the school year back by about an extra week.
The Dover School District used three snow days and, like ORCSD, two "hurricane" days.
Somersworth School Superintendent Jenni Mosca said part of the reason her district — which, like Dover, used three snow days and two due to Hurricane Sandy — is ending so early this year is because students started on August 27, 2012, about a week earlier than in other communities. Their school calendar also runs 177 days based on instructional hours.

Honey-Glazed Baby Back Ribs
One of the favorite food of Mr. Rasa Malaysia is baby back ribs. He loves all sorts of ribs, but especially partial to Chinese-style ribs and American BBQ ribs. He doesn't have much of an opinion whenever we dine out as I am always the ones who decide where we eat at, but whenever he is in the mood to take charge, his answer is pretty predictable: ribs. He has taken me and his friends to unknown restaurants at obscure places, for some hole-in-the-wall ribs. If there is one thing he is obsessed with when it comes to food, I think that would be it, and very lucky for us, our good friend Slap Yo' Daddy is one of the top BBQ pit masters in the US, and he would always bring us some of his award-winning and extremely delicious baby back ribs.
These honey-glazeed baby back ribs was prepared for him. I am not much a ribs person, other than using them to flavor my Chinese soups or stews, but I was pleasantly surprised with the sticky, gooey, and addictive great taste of this recipe. This honey-glazed baby back ribs recipe is adapted from the Food & Wine magazine. I love the addition of sambal oelek or chili-garlic sauce for a tint of spicy note.
Either way, Mr. Rasa Malaysia happily devoured the dish which was specially cooked for him. If you love yourself some Chinese/Asian-style good ribs, you can certainly try this recipe out!

Harry has great rubs and perfect for some ribs
I made a recipe of honey glazed baby backs last week. I doubled the amount of honey. These are delicious. Thank you for your recipe. I'll use it next time. I do baby backs a couple of times a month.
If you peel off the membrane from the back of the ribs, the sauce gets to the meat better and just increases this lovely flavor.
The kids would love these! Thanks
I might end up cheating on my leftovers with a batch of these…
This sounds like a very sweet recipe.
Must try this!
I have some BB ribs in my freezer, will give this a try.
Love ribs! It's amazing how flavourful ribs get after slow roasting.
Two out of three aint bad.
Wud luv to try the recipe, however, what is unsulfured molasses. Can I replace this ingredient with something else. Thank u.
That combination sounds delicious. I'll give this one a try too.
Ribs must be one of the most manly things to prepare in the kitchen. Anything ribs with a touch asia goes down any day, if it's good.
Definitely gotta try this.
Can I replace the honey with brown sugar?as I m allergy to honey….

N9, Qt C++ app (not QML,QtQuick!), screen orientation is locked to landscape mode.
I wonder how i could develop N9's application without using QML file .
I 've found some references from this, http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/9878
when i create a new project as the follow steps:
File > New File or Project > Qt Widget Project > Mobile Qt Application > Choose.
at last it finish create the project, but when i deploy it to the N9 ,the screen orientation is locked to landscape mode.
Which is so ugly,I want to know how to create a application in N9 which doesnt use QML file as the UI, and makes it good.
Some application ,like filebox and so on ,which doesnt use QML file ,how could they do this???
Sorry for my poor english.

Seriously using hex is cumbersome in some situations.
Other languages starting to add binary literals.
The problem with pointer syntax is that from pointer to it's value and from value to it's pointer it's the same sign in some situations. I'm referring to the use of the '*' and the '&' sign and the pointer is not a type way of implementation.
You have to remember everything. Not a big deal if it's a small example exercise. But in a bit project this is how errors easily slip in.
Last edited by plonoma; 08-15-2011 at 11:06 AM.
You don't use bitset then? But truth be told bit-manipulation is most often used in performance-critical code and
isn't quite as fast as 'if( bits & FLAG ){...}'.Code:bitset<2> bits; ... if( bits[1] ){ ... }
Btw, why isn't the new release C++B?
When you have a control register with each bit being a flag for something.
Then it's much more practical to be able to write a binary literal.
In this situation, working with hex makes it more error prone and complicated.
If your documentation goes like '... the third bit enables <some random thing>...', especially then it's really practical to be able to use binary literals.
So sorry, still don't understand why you think binary literals would be better than hex.
I'm not saying they are better everywhere.
In some situations they are better as in more practical to use.
It's not about writing the documentation. It's about when documentation does things per bit it's sometimes more practical to use binary literal.
You seem to think that it's a contest between the two. Loose that thought.
Sometimes Hex is more convenient, sometimes binary is.
Just because you're used to working in it doesn't make it more natural.
And using a macro for something that should be a core language feature is, in my eyes, a fail!
Your example of a serial output would be an example, depending on what you're doing where showing hex or bin would be better.
Last edited by plonoma; 08-15-2011 at 03:18 PM.
0x8 = 4th bit set. Each alphanumeric = 4 bits. versus having to count out all those zeroes and making sure you aren't off by one.
Maybe it just has to do with how comfortable someone is thinking in hex? I've always found it very easy.

Upright vacuum cleaners are all quite similar in overall design, but the more you are willing to pay, the more features and versatility you'll get.
The most important feature to consider is a bagging versus a bagless design. Bagless upright vacuums mean you don't have to purchase replacement bags. The dirt and debris are deposited in a removable canister that you take out, dump, clean (if necessary) and replace. Bagging vacuum cleaners have a removable bag that you discard and replace when full.
Bagless vacuum cleaners are convenient and easy to use. The most obvious advantage of a bagless vacuum cleaner is that you don't have to buy replacement bags. However, bagless vacuums have a two-step process -- larger particles are deposited into the removable container, smaller particles go into the filter -- and the filters may need to be replaced. Some bagless vacuums are messy and awkward to dump. And, eventually, dirt and pet hair will accumulate in the nooks and crannies of the container so it will have to be cleaned -- a task most owners find unappealing. However, not having to dispose of the bag is more environmentally friendly as it eliminates an added layer of trash. One other advantage to bagless: If you accidentally vacuum up a small item, you don't have to tear open the bag and dig through the contents to find it; the canisters are mostly see-through.
Bagging upright vacuum cleaners get slightly better reviews for overall performance. Most bagging vacuums have bags that are constructed of filter media, adding an extra filtration step to the overall system. This means some bagging vacuums can boast of three-stage filtration. Many owners also prefer this no-muss, no-fuss approach to getting rid of their vacuuming debris, although some bags are trickier to put in place than others. Some bagging upright vacuum cleaners use self-sealing bags, which prevent any particles from escaping back into the air during the bag-disposal process.
The major downside to bagging upright vacuum cleaners is that bags must be purchased throughout the life of the vacuum cleaner. Bags typically range in price from $2 to $7 per bag, although generic bags are an option in some cases and bags can often be ordered in bulk for a lower per-bag cost.
Both bagging and bagless vacuum cleaners vary widely in price. Some inexpensive models run $50 or less, while the top-end models can price out at more than $1,000. As with almost anything, the more features and versatility, the more expensive the vacuum will be. We found very well-reviewed vacuum cleaners from a low of $100 to a high of $550. HEPA filtration, which removes 99.99 percent of particles down to 0.5 micron in size from the air, is a much-touted feature but doesn't seem to have much effect on price; upright vacuums with HEPA filtration land near both ends of the price spectrum.
ConsumerSearch editors evaluated dozens of upright vacuum cleaners, narrowing down the top picks by examining professional and expert reviews. We consider performance on different flooring surfaces, pet-hair removal, features and attachments, ease of use and lifestyle features to help you find the perfect upright vacuum cleaner for your cleaning needs.

How about Book of the Long Sun Gene Wolfe? Not exactly cliche hard SF but has hard SF themes: Generation starship, no FTL as far as we are aware. Many would consider Wolfe to be a handy prose stylist and respectably "literary."

And Clarke of course used FTL, although he had quite a bit of semi-empirically tested science behind it. But Clarke does meet the basic sub-category definition for most of his work, which is that they are stories involving hard science issues as the central premise. Of course, they also can involve powerful aliens, quantum physics, FTL, A.I. and space adventures as well.
All of which is to say that the purity tests of what is SF based on it having to adhere to being hard SF leak like sieves. But I gather that Rosie Oliver wasn't trying to construct a purity test, The main premise of the sub-category of hard SF are stories about people (often scientists, don't have to be human,) trying to solve a hard science problem. Not stories about trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic future or planetary colony, not dealing with a war or an alien invasion, not mining asteroids or conducting trade in a merchant spaceship or through gateway, not trying to solve a murder mystery or dealing with a criminal danger or spies, not surviving a killer robot, not politics, not diplomacy, not sex and family structure, not religion, not taking a vacation to the moon -- but a hard SF story can have all of those elements in the story in addition to the central premise of solving a hard science problem. That's why hard SF is not a literary movement -- you can write in any style and structure and with whatever themes you want. It simply identifies a very basic element of the story -- it's about a hard science problem.
So it's entirely possible to write a hard SF novel in a highly stylistic manner and some writers have. And if we are going purely with Fung Koo's approach of drawing attention to narrative, being writerly and funky, then Greg Egan might actually pop back on my list. While I don't think he has tremendous mastery of prose and imagery and I'm not a fan of his characterization which tends towards the macho suspense sort, the man uses all sorts of devices -- graphs, charts, equation proofs, etc. -- to tell stories about hard science problems that certainly draw attention to the narrative over and above the story at hand. So he might indeed count on that ground and actually quite a few others might too. SF was, for decades, more of a category of short fiction than novels, and so we have tons and tons of stories still respected and studied in academia where writers for the mags experimented with pretty much everything, including styles.
But Dune isn't about solving a hard science problem, and Long Sun stories aren't either. But Greg Bear's Darwin's Radio is. (And Bear also likes to do Halo tie-in novels, so again, it's not about being one thing for authors.) Stories that are not hard SF don't necessarily jettison hard science elements or even always keep them to the background. But those stories are not about solving the hard science problem as the central premise.

2) I never said that writing one hard SF novel made an author's entire oeuvre hard SF. I said the opposite of that. I said that an author may write hard SF and sociological SF and fantasy and mystery and so forth. And we then say not that the author is a hard SF author and only that, but that the author is a science fiction author who writes both hard and sociological SF, or the author is a science fiction/fantasy/mystery writer, or a hard SF writer who also writes horror, or.... We are saying that they write these types of books, not that the author is only limited to one sub-category or category and anything that author writes cannot be considered something else. So Gregory Benford is not simply only a hard SF writer because he has also written other types of stories.
Categories and sub-categories -- which we commonly call genres after another adopted definition of the term -- are not literary movements. They describe basic story elements. So an author does not pledge his loyalty to the sub-category forever just because he wrote a book in that sub-category. If we went by that idea, Margaret Atwood would be only a science fiction writer, even though she's only written three SF novels in her life. But we can call Atwood a science fiction writer in addition to her other work, and also a fantasy writer because some of her work is fantasy, because she has written works in those categories and they are part, but not all, of her oeuvre. So we basically don't have to worry about the problem you were talking about -- authors who have only done one or two hard SF stories. Their hard SF works can still go on a list of hard SF or "literary" hard SF, etc. and their other works do not disqualify them from being on such a list, but their hard SF works are not all that they are as authors.

So, no, we do not know what the future is. We need to break this accepted future view from public acceptance. And this is where literary style can help.

Phew... there's been quite a discussion while I haven't had a proper chance to to look in... I think one thing we can all agree on is that it is the the book and not the author that can should be classed as hard SF.
Where the boundary is between hard SF and other SF is dependent on the your view of what constitutes science and how far you believe it can change in the future. The argument about going FTL or getting out of the Solar System are two examples of where such a wide difference of opinion exists. So one man's hard SF can be another woman's soft SF. I think this is the basis of what the argument about constitutes hard SF has really been about.
The literary side of things is definitely about the style of writing. Whilst I have defined it by what its effect is, others have tried to define it by its purpose. The danger with the latter is that it could become too constrained and another name for a new style of writing will have to be invented.
But, if I've followed the arguments correctly, not a single book can be agreed on as being literary hard SF. Given this amount of argument it is not surprising that the publishing industry shy away from using the phrase. They are trying to use jargon that people easily understand in order to sell their books.
So it's no wonder Duotrope can't find any primary choices for literary hard SF stories (the original comment of this thread).
But here's the thing... in all this discussion I seemed to have honed in on how much imagination is lacking from science fiction. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good traditional SF book as much as the next person. But where's the cutting edge science fiction, the science fiction that brings new ideas to the party that takes the readers breath away? Any ideas anyone?
October 26th, 2012, 11:37 PM #69
I have read plenty of SF that I have liked, but take breath away, that has been a LONG time.

Also, getting a far future SF story published does not then mean that the science in your story is more plausible and likely or that it is now very, very hard SF. It just means you got a SF story published. (And that's no small accomplishment certainly.) When I'm reading Peter Watts and he not only has a hard SF premise but has an appendix in the back to explain various types of research he'd borrowed from to put his story together, I generally find it interesting and not lacking in imagination. But I also find sociological SF stories -- which don't have cutting edge science in them -- to be interesting too and not lacking in imagination. When Charlie Stross decides to do a police procedural near future cyberpunk thriller in second person, well so far I'm finding it interesting. (And of course some folk feel that some of Stross' work is cutting edge hard SF, like his novel Accelerando.) You might be interested in an anthology done for Tor by David G. Hartwell called The Hard SF Renaissance.
The reality is that the fact that when you did a search on duotrope for literary hard SF and didn't find anything doesn't mean anything about what's actually going on in hard SF or SF in general. It doesn't tell you anything about SF being studied in universities or the actual writing styles of authors. And the fact that we and countless other fans don't agree about what the parameters of hard SF is or literary writing for that matter doesn't mean the people writing hard science stories aren't using cutting edge science or interesting writing techniques. A does not equal B. Disagreement does not equal lack.

Every hard science fiction story that is published has something new to say. The 'new' can be anything from an old story in a new setting or a slight difference from another story where the implications are worked out or similar slight variations to a completely new story in a completely new setting. So we have this spectrum of newness in hard science fictions stories and everyone can usually judge roughly how far along that spectrum of newness a story is. [Note, I'm not limiting newness to any particular aspect of story telling.]
What I'm personally finding is that the new stories I read tend to be to the left hand side of the spectrum i.e. the not too much really new.
There are some good reasons why this is the case. One is that in the middle of the last century most of the big ideas were developed about what our future could look like, thereby limiting the opportunities for publishing 'really new hard SF'. Another good reason is that the publishers are in the business for making money. They are risk averse, particularly at the moment, and therefore tend to want publish slight variations on a theme where they know there's a market for it.
Now I would have quite happily gone along with left hand side of the newness spectrum being the only game in town... until I wrote my short story Agents of Repair, which I consider my breakthrough story. What this story showed me was I could have something very seriously new to say about future tech and its impact on humans... like WHY an app would become destructive and appear to become intelligent and acting in its own right. [It received good reviews when it was published, which to certain extent backs up this being my breakthrough story.]
Anything that is based on pre Agents of Repair being written, is what I call traditional variations on the theme or the left hand side of the newness spectrum. Since Agents of Repair, i have drafted 5 short stories and a novel. With the exception of one short story, they are all further to the right of the newness spectrum. The exception was drafted for specific purpose that limited my room for manoeuvre. None of the new stuff has got published yet, for various reasons... though one short story is about to be published (and someone who saw an early draft said I could write a whole novel on the theme)... and despite getting a distinction for my novel on a top UK MA Creative Writing course, I have yet to find an agent. So unfortunately I can't produce the evidence to back this assertion up. Yes I have found the further right in the newness spectrum the storyline was, the harder it was to write.
So I can understand KatG being sceptic about what I'm saying in this regard.
I never said anything about what is and what is not going on in universities... the duotrope comment is about publishing. There could be some very good work going on in the universities, but we won't see it if it can't get published...

You're not making an argument, you're making suppositions. Or rather, you're describing a feeling. I don't have a problem with feelings, but the problem is they are usually presented not as feelings but as declarative statements about the state of the field, usually based on a very narrow reading of the field and according to classifications made up and personal preferences. This is in large part why we argue over classifications (hard SF,) literary movements and goalposts for SF fiction -- everybody is unhappy if their personal vision is not being utilized. But the field of SF, of authors in the field, doesn't give a twit what any individual wants in the field and never has. So, to make an argument that declares the state of the field requires evidence, and it requires more evidence than stuff I've read lately that I pre-selected according to my reader interests and it requires more evidence than SF authors I've noticed don't seem to be doing what I want them to do or what I'm doing in my writing. It requires you pointing to specific authors and explaining how they failed what you see as a critical goal of SF (which is not necessarily the goal of SF,) and those authors being seminal authors/works in the field. It requires you, if you're going to make a claim that there has been a shift, to come up with specific and sufficient numbers of works past and present to support it, it requires you to not ignore books, especially prominent and popular ones, that don't fit your hypothesis. It requires something beyond you complaining that nameless works you read bored you.
Publishing is not risk averse, nor is it monochrome and united in its goals and interests. Publishers rely on variety to maximize readership in the market because written fiction is a small market. So hard SF (in all the forms we disagree about,) does not die. Nor do they have a problem with cool science ideas. And while you having trouble finding an agent in the very tight UK fiction market is unfortunate, it doesn't actually say anything about what different editors are doing in the market. It just means that you haven't found folks to connect with and willing to invest in your novel yet.
The all the cool ideas of the future have been figured out already line is part of the cyclical call that SF is dying off. It is factually incorrect and ignores the scientific research that shows predictions about the future have been on average dead wrong. People whose job it is to predict future developments and trends have about as good a rate of success as a coin toss. And science is discovering new things all the time, which many science fiction authors seize on and play with. And you yourself declared that you found a new idea for your story. So let's dispense with the ideas are dead and publishers wouldn't want them anyway rhetoric. That's a feeling; it's not really backed up by the business or the world of science. Past SF authors were good, but they weren't that good. They thought computers would stay giant and aliens likely lived on Mars.
It's true that many authors will take familiar paths. Suspense is obviously a standard approach in SF stories. But as you say, that doesn't result in a lack of imagination about science stories per se. To find that out or at least make a critical argument about, we'd have to look at the actual authors like Peter Watts, the three Greg's -- Bear, Egan and Benford, etc., and authors whose works are debated on being hard SF or not, such as authors like Stross, and look at what they were actually doing and the science they were utilizing and how cutting edge that science is and what they do with it. If we wanted to look at just those authors who are creating a far future vision, then we would have to look at that set in the same way. And if we wanted only to look at how literary stylistic approaches could be used in stories about hard science, that would be an analysis of actual narratives, not a database search.
I don't think you want to do any of that. I think you are mostly worried about the reception for your fiction, and wondering what's in the neighborhood of it. Which is perfectly understandable and hopefully some of the authors we're talking about or that you may find, since your net for hard SF seems to be fairly wide, will help with that. And since you are not religious about the hardness, authors like Clifford A. Pickover and more speculative science-based fiction might interest you. Whether all of these authors will be stylist is another issue. It's certainly not avoided in the market -- fans like psikey feel it's taking over, in fact. But as in all fiction, it's not always the goal.

You're the family caregiver—the daughter who makes sure dad gets to the doctors, the son who stops by after work to tuck mom safely in at night, or the person responsible for ensuring Aunt Elsie eats nutritious meals. We know you want to provide the best care for your senior loved one and we know that you have a lot of choices. Sometimes, just getting the answers and information you need can be exhausting. So, we wanted to share a little information with you about home care.
The term home care describes two very different types of care:
In broader terms, home care that seniors require often revolves around the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These are provided under non-medical home care.
ADLs are basic activities and functions performed on a daily basis that are usually done without assistance. The six ADLs are:
IADLs, on the other hand, are those activities instrumental to our daily routines such as:
To learn more about non-medical home care, visit our Non-Medical Home Care page.
A recent Home Instead Senior Care® study found an overwhelming majority of seniors (86 percent) want to continue living at home for as long as possible. Seniors appear to be willing to seek help to do that. The study found that 54 percent of seniors who live alone are four times more likely to use professional care than those who live with their children. The users of in-home care tend to be older: 42 percent of seniors over the age of 80 rely on professionals.
Family caregivers and senior care professionals often notice changes in their loved ones, which send up a red flag that an otherwise healthy older adult needs more assistance to remain safely and independently at home.

Why Langlois?
We Are Exclusive
We believe our clients deserve the very best:
- We offer Washington's largest selection of pre-owned and used Yamaha and Kawai pianos. "A" quality pianos.
- We handpick much of our inventory. This is particularly important since no two acoustic pianos are the same, especially the higher-end and handcrafted pianos.
- We have our own state of the art piano shop , where our expert, highly-skilled craftsmen utilize our proprietary machinery and processes to complete each and every individual service.
- We rebuild almost every type of piano (including those with precious artcase details and/or with complicated pinblocks) for individuals and institutions throughout the U.S.
- Our pricing is competitive and honest. We gladly provide the prices of our pianos to all our customers for every one of our used and rebuilt pianos. This sets us far apart from many of our peers who have less open pricing approaches.
- Our trade-up policy is especially significant. We offer fair trade in values when you are ready to buy a new piano.
- Our tuning and service department is as terrific as our pianos. It works to the highest 'concert quality' standard at prices that are highly competitive. Our multi-national reputation for quality, selection, service, value and integrity is extremely important to us and it grows with every passing year.
- We have built a company that has been around since 1865. This is particularly important and reassuring to our clients since the 'useful life' of the pianos we sell isn't measured in years but in decades.
What We Offer
We take great pride in having become the longest family owned business in Washington state. We offer access to all types of piano lines: new, used and rebuilt pianos.
- New pianos. We carry only the lines of pianos that we feel provide our customers with the best quality and value in their particular category.
- Used pianos. No two pianos are the same; consequently, of all the used pianos that are offered to us, we carefully select only the ones that meet (or have the potential to meet) our high quality and performance standards. Our nearly new and used 'value' pianos are prepped and detailed to be best they can be without incurring the expense of a complete rebuilding. Our rebuilt pianos are brought to a standard that assures that their new owners will derive many years of excellent use and pleasure from them, plus we back them with a strong Langlois guarantee.
- Rebuilt pianos. We set the industry standard for building our own line and rebuilding quality. Our processes are proprietary, having been developed and refined over the years. This benefits our clients alone. Unlike most other rebuilders, we do not offer our rebuilding services to other dealers. The market has clearly recognized our rebuilding quality and value.

July 2007. Paulo Adario at a press conference, with representatives the soy industry and civil society (including Greenpeace), to announce a soy moratorium agreement. After Greenpeace exposed the role of soy in Amazon destruction, the industry signed an unprecedented agreement, committing not to buy the grain from newly deforested areas. An agreement that still stands.

In 2010, the bicentennial anniversary of Mexico's revolution against Spain, Mexican President Felipe Calderon hoped he could orchestrate several crucial reforms that Mexico needed. Mexico had not grown much over the course of the last decade, losing competitiveness to China and other Asian countries. Several of its institutions, including labor, education, healthcare, energy, and antitrust, seemed uncompetitive. But with a weaker peso and greater governmental attention to infrastructure, Calderon hoped that Mexico's higher-tech exports could recapture U.S. market share and make headway in Europe and Latin America.

Competitive advantage; Competitive strategy; Economic growth; Government regulations; Laws & regulations

Suspect in attempted kidnap had decorated Air Force career
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
NEWMARKET — Before his arrest last month, a local man accused of trying to kidnap a toddler in Maine was decorated with numerous medals for his service in the U.S. Air Force.
Graham's questioning was so intense that the mother believed he might have been an undercover police officer, according to a police affidavit. When Graham knelt down beside the child, the mother became alarmed and asked the grandmother to take him away.
The mother took the child into her car, and they headed south on Interstate 295, with the grandmother following behind them. Police say Graham waited in the breakdown lane, then began tailing the mother's car.
Graham told police he was trying to make conversation with the family at the park-and-ride. Authorities say he initially denied there was a child present, but then admitted there was a "cute" child at the lot. He broke off the interview at that point, asking for services from a mental health counselor. Jail staff reported the following night, Graham became "out of control," requiring six staff members and pepper spray to subdue him. He was transported to a hospital in Brunswick, Maine for treatment.
Graham is set to appear in court again on June 17 for a hearing on his bail conditions. His defense attorney, James T. Lawley, will also ask a judge to compel investigators to release the statements witnesses provided to police.
During his last two tours of duty, Graham was assigned to the 320th Special Tactics Squadron, part of the 353rd Special Operations Group. Based in Japan, the 353rd is the focal point for all Air Force special operations activities throughout the Pacific Theater, according to a military website. It carries out "high-priority, low-visibility missions."
Graham's attorney said his client was well-regarded during his time in the armed forces. Discussing the items found in Graham's car, Lawley said his client is an outdoorsmen who was carrying gear at the time of his arrest. He declined to comment on whether Graham has received mental health treatment in the past.

Excellent work from Valve as per usual. The next Steam Client update will introduce Steam Runtime Support for the final SDL 2.0.
Phoronix: Valve's Day of Defeat Released For Linux
Valve's original Day of Defeat game and the Day of Defeat: Source titles are now in beta on Linux via the Steam client...
Excellent work from Valve as per usual. The next Steam Client update will introduce Steam Runtime Support for the final SDL 2.0.
Glad to see they keep pushing forward with more releases, though I wish they would get to some of the games I really want to play and already own, namely the Portal and Left4Dead franchises. Need to pick up Half-Life 2 at some point when it goes on sale again for when that gets released.
Some other companies need to finally get their games out as well. I bought Lugaru HD and Little Inferno because their devs had stated they would have their games up on Steam in the near future (back in Dec/Jan). Lugaru has already been on Linux for ages now and Little Inferno was getting beta tested for Linux and Mac a month or two back.
Only 14 of the 86 games on my Steam account are Windows games that likely won't ever see a port, yet only 37 can be installed and played on Linux so far. Bit frustrating, but all I can do is wait and play what I already have access to.
Nice. Valve's SDL2 games work so brilliantly with window management and fullscreen mode, I wish all of the Steam Linux games used it. I hate dealing with fullscreen mode in so many of the games.
Is there any way to buy these games for Linux outside Steam?
Isn't that Conanicals new friend alongway the quiting linux philosophy and picking up the more money strategy. Why this good attitude to them? They don't have gpl license. Btw both mir and unity sucks. Conanical go to hell. Leave the linux world alone. We were better of living in caves with our bash!
If you mean without running the client, you can buy them from their website (steampowered.com), but you'll need the client to download, install or play them.
Well I'm glad they are doing it, but I see no point in porting 10 years old game over...nobody plays that. I would love to see DotA2 on Linux more than any other game.

First Van Halen US Dates Of 2013 Confirmed
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Van Halen has not been seen on a stage since last spring, but along with a handful of Japanese dates and an Australian gig, the band has now confirmed its first U.S. show of 2013. The Van Halen clan and singer David Lee Roth will close out the annual Rock USA Festival, scheduled for July 17th through the 20th in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Other acts appearing at the event include Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, Saliva, Chevelle, Great White, Sevendust and Dokken, with more to be announced.
Van Halen backed out of 31 North American dates last summer, citing exhaustion, and then Eddie Van Halen was sidelined for four-to-six months after undergoing surgery for the inflammatory intestinal affliction diverticulitis.
The band has been touring in support of its February 2012 release, A Different Kind Of Truth, which was its first album with Roth in 28 years. Bassist Wolfgang Van Halen told us how he feels about the disc a little over a year later: "I'm really, really proud of the record. I think it's a great record, and I think it really captures the old Van Halen sound because they're from demos of the older days, you know. I kind of wanted to put Dad (Eddie Van Halen, guitarist), Al (Van Halen, drummer) and Dave into the mindspace of when they wrote, like, 'Runnin' With The Devil' and 'Dance The Night Away' and stuff like that, you know. And I think we did a pretty good job."
While Van Halen has been inactive, Wolfgang has been touring with Tremonti, the solo band of Creed and Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti.
Roth recently gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which he expressed his desire to work on fresh material with Eddie Van Halen and tour outside the U.S., saying, "We have an audience and we have a potential future in many, many places . . . I don't know where the Van Halen future lies aside from the States."

Bridge could be closed to vehicles for a month: Support beams damaged by loose tanker; marine traffic unaffected
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Repairs to the Sarah Long Bridge could stretch on for as long as four weeks following a marine accident Monday that left the bridge damaged.
"The good news for our state is that the lift span of the bridge is operational," Hassan said, "so we'll still be able to get boat traffic through, which is obviously important to the economy of our state, and particularly the Seacoast of our state."
The owner of the ship is an Italian company called the Zacchello Group. The ship was being managed by Nordic Tankers, of Denmark, Marconi said. The vessel is slated to remain in place near the state pier for the foreseeable future while a repair plan is developed.
The Coast Guard also continues to investigate the circumstances behind the accident. Marconi declined to comment on what might have caused the ship to break away from its mooring.
"Nothing happened on the pier," he said. "Whatever happened, happened on the ship."
The ship was in Portsmouth to load material from the Sprague Energy terminal. A Sprague Energy spokesman said the tanker received 3,700 metric tons of tallow oil, a product derived from animal fats, between the time it arrived Sunday and Monday morning.
The ship, which was also carrying "yellow grease," has not released any of its cargo into the river, according to the Coast Guard. The ship's fuel tanks are being monitored, and there have been no leaks of oil or diesel fuel, either.

Creme Scene
These past two weeks have been CRAZZZY for anyone wrapped up in this glamorous world we call the fashion/beauty industry. It started with Vogue's retail extravaganza and Fashion's Night Out! And Mercedes Benz New York Fashion week is coming to an end. The culmination of a season's planning has finally come to fruition. I'm happy to report that I'm tossed in the mix of this wildness & I love it! (Check back later this week for a recap of Odd Molly's spring collection where tarte is creating the look this evening)!
Amongst everything, I love to go back and look through all of the images of the shows and spot emerging trends. Surprisingly, thus far, I've seen a lot of neutrals and minimalism for the spring 2011 season (unlike punchy colors of the past). The color crème/ivory has been pretty prominent on the runway. I love the crisp elegance of the looks above (l-to-r: Dennis Basso, Ports 1961, and Reem Acra). What do you think? What would you love to see for spring 2011 and most importantly what trend would you love to never see again?!
