Cool thread. I like the sound of quantum tunneling. I'm no physics major though.
Alot of scifi has non FTL right?

If realistic physics is central to the story, or if the writer cares a great deal about fidelity to physical laws, then sure, it matters for that story. I don't throw away a book just because the writer waves his hand and declares that FTL travel with no relativistic consequences is a given in his story.
Physics isn't the only scientific discipline to be trampled by SF writers: ecology, physiology (can average humans even survive in low gravity for really long periods? thus far we have only ultra-fit astronauts to measure against), economics, political theory.
I'm not at all convinced that humanity will overcome unbridled capitalism, climate change, desertification of arable land, water shortages, the inevitable hyperinflation caused by decades of near-zero interest rates and fiscal stimulus, the rise of apocalyptic religious fascism, etc. to ever flirt with space colonization. Any book that doesn't address these issues is junk, in my view.

What is there about Capitalism that precludes mandatory accounting in the schools. But do Capitalists, Socialists or Communists suggest such a thing?
Has it ever appeared in any science fiction book? I have never seen it and the concept is not even science fiction. It is just something no society that I know of has done.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. - Robert Heinlein quotes (American science-fiction writer,1907-1988)

In Robert A. Heinlein's "Starman Jones" ships had to approach what he called "congruencies"at close to the speed of light. A very tricky operation that if done wrong the crew could appear thousands of light years from their destination. Iv'e always liked that concept.

As a writer, I'm firmly in the 'no FTL' camp, but sometimes you can't avoid it if you want to tell a story that requires fast travel.
On a civilisational scale, even 1% of the speed of light allows you to colonise the entire galaxy in 10,000,000 years, which is nothing compared to the lifetime of the galaxy. But it's a heck of a long time if you're writing a story where people need to travel those distances between page 1 and THE END.
(And, as an aside, my most popular short story is the one which does have working Alcubierre warp drive)

10 million years ago our ancestors were swinging from trees. It could make for an interesting evolutionary experiment.

Remember the latest on the Alcubiere drive? It was released a few months ago: the bow of the effect driving the ship would accumulate radiation and particules as it travels, and when it'd stop they would go on following the same path of travel, irradiating all of space in front of the ship. A calamity. Another bad point for that drive.

The very first sci-fi book I read involved FTL.
Star Surgeon, by Alan Nourse
It was not until our own scientists discovered the Koenig star-drive, enabling us to break free of our own solar system, that we were met face to face with a confederation of intelligent races inhabiting the galaxy—among others, the people from whom this same Dal Timgar has come."
There was no mention of the theme of the story in the blurbs when I discovered it but if you look around the Internet today a lot of reviews say the story is about racism. That became pretty obvious to me as I was reading it in the 60s. Since there are no FTL drives and I really do not assume that there ever will be it is just a science FICTION story to me. So if a writer makes a good story that involves FTL I really don't care what method he uses.
I find Fire Upon the Deep rather odd with FTL working in some places and not others but writers can do whatever they want. Weber has multiple forms of FTL in his Harrington series which affects the strategies and timings in his space battles. But in most stories the system of FTL hardly matters to the tale. I don't think the system will affect how much I it.
I am not going to refuse to buy a book because of the FTL method.

I agree, it's not necessarily germane to every story, and can be left out. But sometimes, if your story depends on an impossibility, maybe it wasn't a story worth writing... or maybe it's really fantasy, up there with Middle Earth and Pellucidar.
July 31st, 2012, 12:17 PM #29
Fire Upon the Deep does try to explain how FTL could be possible by positing that our region of space has physical laws we all know, but other regions have more and more differences in said laws, until your reach the ability to go FTL. It is a nice sidestepping of the limitation.
July 31st, 2012, 12:47 PM #30
This review talks about the "fictional science" in the story. It contains too many spoilers however.
But this review says nothing about the "science" even though it ranks the story highly.
The fictional wormhole physics used for effective FTL is central to the entire plot. How readers regard it in relation to how much they like the tale seems to vary considerably. The majority lean toward the latter review while the first one reflects my perspective.

The question is: what do the Xorg developers think about all this? Are they the first one to think it's time to move to Wayland, or do they somehow have something againts all this?
Phoronix: Wayland Preparing For 1.0 Stable Release
This weekend at FOSDEM 2012 what Kristian Høgsberg is expected to say in Brussels will surprise many of you: Wayland 1.0 is gearing up for release as their first -- stable -- release. Wayland is supposed to be ready to take on the Linux desktop world...
The question is: what do the Xorg developers think about all this? Are they the first one to think it's time to move to Wayland, or do they somehow have something againts all this?
I wan't to see a webbrowser running on wayland. And what about Adobe Flash, will this ever run on wayland? AFAIK it has got some hard dependencies on X. And as much as I hate the thing, I really need the plugin for some websites.
As for Flash - it might run under an X compatibility layer, though that would presumably rule out the use of a Wayland-native browser. But as you say, it's entirely tied to X, so it will never run natively under Wayland unless Adobe ports it. And I think the phrase "cold day in hell" applies to that.
i'm really excited to test wayland, and i'd really like to see some comparisons of it vs X. as much as i can tell amd and nvidia dislike working on linux drivers, if wayland is as simplified as stated, it might be EASIER to make drivers for it, and it might perform better.
as for kde support, i'd say that kde5 should be the beginning of wayland support. i think that'd be a great way to start a clean slate for kde, and reduce confusion.
Of course, without vendor buy-in it's a non-starter anyway.
"The downsides that have been described include:
- We lose network transparency! Well, sure, the protocol doesn't have
that directly. You can still do vnc-like things trivially and with a
modest amount of additional wayland protocol (or just inter-client
conventions) you can do spice-like things. This is good, not bad,
because efficient remoting protocols do not look like X. Now we get to
design a good one, and in the meantime vnc-style remoting sure does go a
long way towards being good enough. (But, we can't switch yet, because
we don't even have vnc-style remoting yet; so we're not switching yet.)"

Cut comb honey is an enjoyable and fun way to take a trip into the way honey was consumed in days of yore. Years ago before the invention of the honey extractor and commercial foundation, people consumed honey by slicing of a piece of comb and chewing the beeswax right along with the honey. Cut comb honey has become a delicacy often consumed with cheeses or wines. The wax is edible and is beneficial for your complexion but some people do not care for the waxy taste.

This project, first of its kind, will create a user friendly resource of promising programs currently utilized in the criminal justice system to increase the effectiveness in dealing with drunk drivers, including hardcore offenders.
Hardcore drunk drivers can be defined as those who drive with a high BAC of 0.15 or above, who do so repeatedly as demonstrated by having more than one drunk driving arrest, and who are highly resistant to changing their behavior despite previous sanctions, treatment or education.
What constitutes a promising program? We define a promising program as one that leads to behavior modification among offenders and improves outcomes in the criminal justice system. It should be simple, easy to explain, understand, implement and replicate; cost effective; and able to measure in objective terms, outcomes and results.
Please assist us in creating our promising practices guide and also help promote your program by sharing what you are doing in your community that could be helpful to others.

The US has a lower rate than the Philippines too.
ETA: need to do my maths better!
Right so 496000000 people in China have internet, at 34%. The population of China is 1.3 billion. Which leaves a lot of people that need print books. Even in the US, where you have just about 80%, there are millions of people who don;t have access, and so will need a print book. Then ofc you have those people who just plain old prefer print.
That is one hell of a lot of people you can't sell to if you don't do print.

I know I'm not good enough (yet (I hope)) to snag a publishing contract with a small or big press, but I did want to start self-publishing and had thought I'd stick to e-publishing.
But you know, the only person likely to read my stuff is my mom. And guess what? She doesn't have an e-reader. Guess I better start looking into CreateSpace services...

Hey now, there's still a lot of people who are buying e!
But it won't see the death of print - at least until more of the world can access books that way. Until then, having both options increases the amount of people who can/will buy your book.

Indeed - you were one of the self pubbers I was thinking of
If you count all the query rejections and all the poorly written self-pubed works it's the same 1% that make it in either case.
As you say, a good solid story is what counts, either way. If you can write original characters/plots, competent and grammatical prose, you are in the top 10% of slush (I won't comment on self pub here because I have little experience in that side). So that means instead of a one in a hundred chance of being the book that gets picked up, it's more like one in ten. If you've got an eye on what's selling in your genre and what's not, and your prose is more than competent (AND you've managed to write a query that does your book justice - not easy! Harder than the damned book!)...really, it's only a matter of time.

The larger books can grow their audience, the more vendors they can get to sell, the more fiction authors we have.
It's not a matter of good and bad, commercial formula versus experimental, new versus old. It's a matter of need and interest coming together with luck and sometimes economics. If the enthusiasm in-house is not sufficient, if economic factors or business factors particular to the publisher put a crimp on what they can take on, if the editorial interests of the particular publisher are going in another direction and if potential interest outside of the publisher is not much in evidence, publishers may or may not take the gamble and buy something. If they've got money, room and enthusiasm for a new author or mid-lister who they don't think will bestseller but might eventually after building an audience for a bit of float time and they think they can afford that time, then they may take those people on. But if the enthusiasm isn't sufficient and there are factors that are less favorable, they may pass even if it's a book that some of their editors really like.
That's what happened to THEM with some publishers, for example. There was enthusiasm but the editors who liked it were not able to get enough interest in-house, to build enough of a coalition in support of the work for the people in charge of the wallet strings, who were not as enthusiastic, to feel comfortable taking the gamble. If THEM was a high or growing seller (as opposed to just a mid lister or new person as he was,) then that, they were saying, would have been sufficient evidence of potential outside interest in the work to maybe overcome the more tepid enthusiasm in-house to take the gamble and see if they could do something further with sales. Even without that, some houses may take the gamble and run the book on a low slot and see if audience build-up can occur. But if THEM's submission hit at a time economically -- and there's been quite a few pockets of that over the last twenty, twenty-five years -- when things are sunk for that publisher, they have a lot of inventory already bought in that area of the field, etc., then they'll only bite on something new that they have lots of in-house enthusiasm for.
And it's subjective and it's not according to a monochrome set of formulas that all editors and publishers use. And any book, groups of people will dislike it and others will like it. So you're going to see a lot of books on a publisher's list where you think they're awful and how could they buy that instead, but it's chiefly about connection to the material and a gamble on others connection and word of mouth happenning. They guess at market stuff but they have a high frequency of being wrong, and they also know that stuff they are putting out that they like but licensed for cheap and did not much effort with and were only expecting modest sales from -- like say Harry Potter -- can turn into runaway hits on word of mouth. (Again, I encourage everyone to read this Salon article:
http://www.salon.com/2012/03/18/the_...a_blockbuster/ )
I had this happen a lot when I was agenting and when I was working with authors as a freelance editor. I had a horror novel that the editor loved but others felt was not as much of a horror novel as an adventure thriller and thus did not fit their horror imprint and they couldn't fit it elsewhere, so they passed. I had a mystery series that one publisher and its mystery editor were very interested in, but they had inventory up to their hips and it was during a blood-bath period in the mystery market because of the wholesale problems where mid-list authors were getting passed on and new authors could only come on board if they thought it would fly high right out of the gate. The editor thought the series would build a good audience, so said come back to us later when things were better for them. The series sold instead to another big house that had started a paperback crime imprint and so was buying quite a lot of new stuff. It's not a one size fits all market and never has been. And it's not school where you get rewarded for writing the best essay and it's not Hollywood where you get a deal for nothing because of your relatives or they apply a three act formula. It's a weird, hair-pulling world of "feelings" and gut instincts on which very small amounts of money relative to other industries is wagered for equally small profits.
Which is why I don't really see e-books killing off other forms "just like the music industry." The music industry is so vastly different with so many other factors and multi-products attached to the recorded music and completely different business procedures and gobs and gobs of money that publishing will never have, that it just really doesn't scan. But this seems to be part of the hype used to market things in the electronic business that e-books is of course dipped into.
It looks like Apple is doing well with its new iPads (upgrade that tech, spend more dough! ) and that should keep Amazon on its toes, which is better for the market. I just am hoping to see more players in the next five years. Sony actually was the one who broke the retail market open and I'm curious to see what they'll do and Samsung is doing interesting things. We are now sitting here watching the cellphone and cellphone wireless service wars as a part of the book publishing business, as having an effect on them. This is something that Japan had going on ten years before the West with e-books on phones and elsewhere, but we weren't sure if it would take outside of Asia. So it is going to get interesting and it's a lot more complicated than people keep insisting. It's really not Star Wars. And there is the issue that more and more of the population is being cut off from information and tech that are increasingly important in the society. And of course, how we keep the electricity on, etc.

If you boil it down to that, it isn't complicated at all. It's very very simple - how do I make my books accessible to the most people? So that I can have the most sales? I put my books out in every damn format that is available - print, e, audio. Whatever. Now there is the choice in how to 'read' a novel, if you don't take up that opportunity, you'd be, well, a bit daft. Because the consumer decides.
The consumer always decides and ofc that is what drives the Big Six. They may be a little slower on the uptake, but they want sales). So they think, what does my reader want? (in a story) How do they want it? (format). They ARE thinking about these things. Because they want to stay in business. (some are more...resistant than others perhaps, but I've seen that more in agents than pubs.)
ETA; there are ofc many reasons why a book that people in house love doesn't get picked up. But the reasons are so complex even for thosein the business, it's actually probably not worth wringing about. Because if you do you'll send yourself mad - same as in many, may other businesses.
If it comes to the wire, it;s not the writing that is the problem usually - it's 'too like that other book we have coming out' or whatever. Some books do fall through cracks. But good writers (if they remember to stay determined) usually prevail.

There's also the fact that publishers got burned for rushing into and making bad mistakes on electronic publishing before, back in the 1980's, only to see that market disintegrate and they lost a lot of money, fired a lot of people. So most of them are trying not to do anything stupid this time and figure out exactly what's going to work for them over time, despite the pressure to instantly digitize backlist, etc. The additional costs for e-books are mostly additional labor, and tech labor and so they're taking it slow, and they're trying to get a lot of deals with as many different vendors as possible.
The clash of the weird, counter-intuitive book publishing with the hyperspeed, hyper-marketing focused electronics industry has seemed to produce the idea that book publishing is a dinosaur that will be buried. I've maintained that believing the electronics industry is interested in greatly changing or burying the publishing industry is a highly idealized idea. Publishers are a great deal more interested in what's going on with textual data industries -- magazines and newspapers who also sell on consignment -- that's how books ended up doing the same because they were sold together -- than they are in what happens in the music industry. There are a lot more parallels there, though the industries again are different and very different re fiction publishing. But a lot of the technical issues are the same since it's all text.

Interesting and slightly terrifying blog post by Aburt over at Critters.org regarding eBooks and the DOJ.
April 12th, 2012, 11:15 PM #310
The lawsuit isn't about the amount for e-book prices or the agency model. It's about whether the publishers met with each other and with Apple to decide collectively what all the e-book prices would be set at -- an anti-trust price fixing violation because they are colluding with each other. The suit does not include Random House. Three publishers settled with the government because they didn't want to get into a deeper legal wrangle on it. That settlement may have involved terms that effect e-book pricing but we don't really know. Macmillan was the first publisher to deal with Apple and then wrangle with Amazon. The other publishers didn't need to collude, just sit back and see what Macmillan did, which they did, which is not a violation. Macmillan has decided to fight the suit. Apple may have made a presentation to publishers about doing business with Apple that is being touted as a price fixing meeting. The charges against Apple aren't going to stick because Apple has been using the agency model for many things for quite some time. While Amazon might possibly benefit from the lawsuit, it seems unlikely that they had enough juice to get the DOJ to bring it. It is more likely that Apple's electronic rivals actually brought pressure on the DOJ.
Regardless, the agency model is extremely common in retail and isn't going anywhere. Amazon's share of the e-book market has dropped from 90% to about 65% of the market in the first five years of it, which was to be expected in an emerging market. They've held on to that much because they bought up some of their minor rivals and because of their advantage in being able to go global with relative speed. In small press and indie publishing, Amazon's monopoly remains higher -- 80-90%, which is what the columnist is dealing with. Barnes & Noble's share of the market is growing, somewhere between 20-30%, but they are limited largely to U.S. sales. Other companies that have large markets in other parts of the world, such as Asia, are now expanding globally, including into Europe and North America. Japanese e-commerce company Rakuten bought Kobo off of Indigo bookstores, which still remains a business partner on Kobo. Kobo's e-reader and apps had a large chunk of Canadian e-book sales, a tiny slice of the U.S. and a growing presence in Europe. Rakuten is using the Kobo platform globally in its markets in places like Brazil, Germany and China. And Kobo is being sold in the U.S. through companies like Best Buy and Walmart. So the global edge Amazon had is rapidly going bye-bye.
The big thing is digital data, not e-books, but e-books will grow and keep a position as part of digital data sales. Amazon is doing well on video digital sales, but it has a long way to go to catch up to Apple or the major electronic telecommunications firms. I'm not sure that Amazon can really become the Walart of the Internet successfully and globally. Even Walmart is in trouble domestically.

I am a new member and I find this thread amazingly useful. It summarizes the steps in a clear way and advice from established and new writers is very enlightening. Thanks heaps and keep up the good work. That was very encouraging.

Actually, my course is Accountancy, but I love reading and writing. I have some writing story that only here at our house, my friends told me to publish it, but I told them not now. I need some boost to publish that. Maybe, your work can inspired me to publish my work too. There are many websites now that can help writers like studygeek.org there are lot of fresh information that they can give for the beginners.

Just been paging through this thread. It's a bit old, but I figured I'd necro it in the hopes that it might generate some new info. I've just recently started buying e-books off Amazon and I'm absolutely sold on the whole kindle experience -- maybe partly because my eyes aren't what they used to be.
Aaaaaaaanyway, one of the things I've noticed is that a lot of e-books are self-published (and I've bought a couple that, um, maybe shouldn't have been). Anyone have some quick pointers to an overview of the self-publishing process for e-bookery?

2. Convert to PDF.
3. Convert to EPUB.
4. Create a cover.
5. Upload the PDF to Createspace for a print book.
6. Upload the EPUB to Amazon for an ebook (and any other sites you want to sell through).
OK, the print part is optional, but, unless you'll have to pay a lot for cover and formatting, there's no good reason not to use one of the print-on-demand sites (Createspace, LSI, etc) for a print book for those who prefer paper. I suggested Createpsace, in particular, because it's free and hooked into Amazon. Just don't expect to get more than 1-5% print sales relative to ebook sales.

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The: 44. The Prince of Cardolan
Ariashal staggered back from the door. Instinctively she clutched at her stomach, as though she had been stabbed.
"My sweet, lovely sister!" Ferion shoved his way into the room. "This is Armendil, a prince of Cardolan. He is here to take you as his wife."
She could not breathe. This was not possible. She had to do something, say something, anything, to prevent this travesty from going any further.
"Well?" prompted Ferion. "What do you say to him?"
Ariashal grasped at the first thought which came to her. "I--I am afraid that I am not well."
Armendil and Ferion exchanged glances. Ferion pressed closer. "What do you mean, you are not well??"
Not daring to get near the bed, she managed instead to sit on the stool. "I mean--I mean that I am unwell."
Ferion bent over her. "Is this some sort of trick to discredit me? What is the matter?"
Ariashal glared up at him. "I am a woman, Ferion, and I am unwell."
For a moment he stared at her, his face a mask of stupidity before breaking into a knowing grin. "I see. Very well. We can delay the wedding for a few days."
"Why?" asked Armendil. "What is the matter with her?"
Her brother's grin sickened her. "As I told you, despite her age she is still quite fertile. In a few days all will be right."
Armendil's expression changed from puzzled to amused. "I think I understand. I can wait for a lady as pretty as her." He made an exaggerated bow. "Even if she is--, ahh, cursed." Smiling, the prince slipped from the room.
Ferion hesitated. "I will see if there is a woman here who will be able to care for you. That is what you need at this--delicate--time, is it not?"
"Yes. A woman to help me would be useful."
He stopped at the door. "I will see what I can find. Good evening, Ariashal."
She listened as he drew the door closed and the guards outside settled back into place.
She was doomed.
Any woman Ferion dredged up would almost certainly be under orders to observe her closely, and would soon report back to her master that Ariashal was perfectly fine, and quite capable of being married. She could just see the woman now. She would probably be a bedraggled, old camp follower, one who served the men in any way they wished. The idea of such a creature pawing through her laundry sickened Ariashal.
For a moment she steadied herself on the edge of the cot. She was still suffering from the blow to the head given by her abductors, and sudden movements tended to upset her equilibrium. Finally her head cleared, and she began to consider her plight.
She walked around the room, looking for something, anything that might help her. What was in her chest? Three dresses were folded inside it--two clean, and the one worn the other day. Then there was the one she currently wore. They would all need laundering soon. She had enough chemises and such to last a week before they would need to be dealt with. That would give her a few days, at least, before they discovered the ruse.
Someone knocked at the door.
Hurriedly Ariashal closed the chest. "Enter."
Ferion sauntered in, alone this time. He closed the door behind himself. "My men are looking for a woman to help you." He settled on the stool. "So. How are you feeling?"
"I have already told you."
Yes," he nodded, "that you have. Armendil is very disappointed. He wanted to get married tonight."
She seated herself on the cot. "I am sorry to have upset your plans."
"I imagine you are." He smiled. "Your curse has finally turned to my advantage. I have my kingdom back, and soon enough you will be adding Armendil's lands to mine."
"What?" Her head began to pound. "Suppose I refuse? Suppose I take refuge with the King of Cardolan?"
"Suppose your children never reach the border? Suppose Imrahil is cut down before he ever reaches manhood? And suppose that daughter of yours gets handed off to my men?"
"That would mean war!"
"Yes, it would. And I would have all of Arnor at my side. And Imladris, too."
"Imladris would not side with you after murdering those Elves!"
"My dear sister! Do you think all Elves come from Imladris? Besides, I did not murder them. It was the men of Angmar who killed them."
"Angmar?" She stared at him. "There were none of my men here!"
"Sweet, sweet Ariashal. All those years married to that--thing--and you are still as naive and stupid as ever."
"You will--you will claim that my men slew them!"
"No one in Imladris would believe otherwise, now, would they? Why would they take the word of the cursed queen of Angmar over that of a son of the house of Elros?"
"My husband was also of that line! And so are my sons! You do not have the only Numenorean blood in Middle-earth."
"Maybe not, but mine is the blood that matters most. No one knew the true identity of your late husband, for if they had, they would have been far quicker to join me in my quest. As it was I had to be certain before I had him killed. A pity that the Elves did not bring me his head. It would have brought a fine bounty from Master Elrond and Lord Glorfindel."
"Elves? They would never pay your blood money!"
"For the head of the Nazgul Lord? Come, sweet sister, you are not so naive as to think they would not want him dead."
"They did not know he was here!"
"Yes, that is true. They did not know that there was a Nazgul in their midst. But once you are re-married and silenced, they will know, and they will also know who delivered Middle-earth from this threat. And I will be rewarded."
"And if they do not believe you?"
"Believe me? Of course they will believe me!" His wolfish grin sickened her. "And I must tell you, two unarmed Elves are no match for thirty armed Angmarim. I am certain that there will be a song composed for the brave Elves who fought so gallantly against the men of the Nazgul and almost won. They slew twenty men before they finally fell." He shrugged. "I suppose that it would have been cheaper to have simply paid the Elves in silver."
She buried her face in her hands.
Ferion stood to go. "You are mine to do with as I wish. You will marry the Cardolani, and when you have killed him with your curse you will marry the next prince I find for you. Do you understand me?"
"Yes," she whispered.
"Good." He closed the door behind him.
For a long time she sat still, trying to decide what she must now do. There was no way that she could reach Adzuphel or Herumor and warn them of the threat. Ferion would get word to Imladris, and then there would be a war. That was what he really wanted--a war between Imladris and Angmar. With Imrahil on the throne they would be hard-pressed to keep from being overwhelmed. He was a bright boy, but he was so young and inexperienced! Even Adzuphel and Herumor would not be able to help him overcome the Elves.
The news that the Lord of the Nazgul had made his home in Carn Dum would unite the Elves in a hunt for the others. That would mean that Herumor would have to fight off an army determined to kill him. He was a competent warrior, but eventually he would have to decide if it was best to take Adzuphel and the children and flee Carn Dum rather than let them fall to the enemy, or if it would be better if he alone left. Imrahil would either be deprived of one of his best advisors, at a time when he would be most in need of advice; or he would be deprived of his throne.
And then there was Sauron.
What would he do? Would he send aid with Khamul, or would he let the kingdom fall to the Elves? He had no reason to help Angmar; he might well sit back and wait while the war played itself out.
Or--would he? Would he come to Imrahil, promising power and strength if he took up the ring? Imrahil knew nothing of his father's true nature, nothing of his tragic fate. He might well fall to the ring, giving Sauron a new Nazgul to control. With Imrahil enthroned, Sauron would wreak havoc in Angmar. Neither her husband nor Herumor had ever had anything but contempt for the way Sauron managed his lands. There was no reason to believe that he would do any better in Angmar.
And then there was her own fate to consider.
She was to be given to the Cardolani prince. That would last for--what, a year or so? Then he too would succumb to the curse. And after him there would be many more, all found for her by a brother who was whoring her out for some land.
Ariashal knew what her life with the Cardolani would be like. It would be like all of her earlier marriages, except that the Prince would be contemptuous of her, never fully trusting her or her motives. He would be rough with her, either to punish her or because he liked to exert his strength. And when there were no children, he would get abusive and angry. Then he would die, and the whole sorry cycle would be repeated.
In a way the entirety of her life had gone in a circle. She had left Rhudaur, married men who did not really want her, waited for them to die, and returned. Her first husband had never thought her good enough for him, and neither had his family. In their eyes she was scarcely better than a servant, there to provide an heir and be silent. With the Hillmen, she had been little more than companion to an impotent old man, catalyst for a murder. Her third husband had treated her like a slattern, using her quickly and savagely whenever he felt the urge, and finally riding off to die.
And then there was the King.
Ariashal had hoped, fervently, desperately, that he would be waiting for her in the carriage, and avenge all that had been done to her. How she had longed to see him rise, sword in hand, and strike Ferion and his followers from the face of the earth!
But it was not to be. She had seen his ring, held it in her hand. She knew he would not simply hand it over to Ferion, knew he would not willingly give it to some Elves. No, they had to have taken it from him, and for that to have happened he must have been dead. Had the arrows slain him quickly, she wondered, or had he drowned? And what had Herumor said about running water? Even if he had been alive when he dropped into the pool, the running water would soon have swept him away. He was gone--finally, absolutely, irretrievably gone. And with him went the last of her heart.
There were her children to consider. It turned her stomach to think of what they would be facing. Imrahil would have to somehow overcome both Sauron and Ferion, and he was too young, too inexperienced, too alone to do so successfully. Adrahil, strong and brave, would grow to manhood fighting constant wars, just as her own brothers had done. And like her brothers, he too would fall in battle, leaving a grieving widow and a kingdom bereft of his strength at arms. If Zimraphel were blessed, she would die young. Otherwise she would be a pawn, sent off to Ferion to buy peace. What Ferion and his minions would do to the Witch-king's daughter was too horrible to contemplate.
And through it all she would be sent from household to household, never really wanted, never fully trusted, used by men who would soon be dead, spreading her curse across the realms of Arnor. Eventually she would be too old to send off, and then she would either be shut up in some out-of-the-way rooms, or, worse still, given as a prize to some of the men.
Never again would she see her children. She would not see Imrahil crowned, nor Adrahil reach manhood, nor see Zimraphel off to the home of her husband. There would be no grandchildren to dote upon, no weddings to oversee. They were as if they were dead to her now.
That was a thought.
She could kill Ferion, and her intended Prince. The Prince was doomed anyway, if he married her; she could simply do it quickly.
She looked over the tray of food. There was a small paring knife, nestled amongst the fruit.
She tested the tip. It was sharp. Good.
It was not big enough to kill, though. Not easily. She might be able to take out an eye, or slash a throat; but it would be impossible to do so with the force and quickness needed. Ferion would survive the attack, and then she would pay, and pay dearly. She had already seen the way he looked at her. Probably he would use her, beating her senseless and then passing her off to the Prince. And what the Prince would likely do then would be enough to make her wish for her own death.
Ariashal studied the gleaming blade. What good would it do her? None, really, except to guarantee a beating and probably a rape.
She closed her eyes, both against the pain of her headache and the horror of what was to come. She could not escape her fate, no matter what she tried. She was cursed, and damned.
But--the thought slowly took hold--she could deny them their prize.
Why not? She had nothing to live for, anyway. She would never again know anything like the exquisite pleasure brought by the King, never again ride in state, never again see the children whom she loved. All she had to look forward to was a long life of pain, torment, and grief.
Her King was dead. Of that she had no doubt. Perhaps, just perhaps, this way she could rejoin him. She would rather wander the tracts of the Void at his side than face the world without him.
The little knife trembled in her hand. It was not big enough to do any real damage against Ferion, but it would cut the veins of her wrists.
Ariashal closed her eyes. Eru, forgive me, she prayed as she placed the tip of the blade against her flesh.

I try to use Nokia N78(S60 3rd FP2) to get the cell id of the current mobile network. And I find Nokia provide below API to get the MCC, MNC and Cell id:
MCC: System.getProperty("com.nokia.mid.countrycode")
MNC: System.getProperty("com.nokia.mid.networkid")
Cell id: System.getProperty("com.nokia.mid.cellid")
But Nokia does not provide the API to get the LAC(Location area code), so I'm very confusing.
Why Nokia does not provide the API to get he LAC? Except for the LAC, just get the MCC, MNC and cell id is useless.

Patriot League Preview: Georgetown Hoyas
This is the second of seven articles that preview the 2013 Patriot League teams. They are in the inverse order of the preseason poll voting by Patriot League football head coaches and sports information directors, who did not include their own school in the selections.
Fordham was not included in the poll because it will not be able to compete for the Patriot League championship and NCAA automatic bid in 2013, and its games against League members will not count towards the final standings for either team.

It's still rather pathetic that an "open" standard requires you to pay for patents or get sued. That's not open, in any sense.

Its compact design and belt clip feature make it easy to take on and off in a hurry. Don't be caught in the dark without the proper protection, let Sette be your go-to brand for all of your safety needs.
Very bright and attention-getting. Very well could save your a** during dark or dim conditions. Sometimes I use it during the day in sketchy sections of road or when insane drivers seem to be out in force. This is so cheap, and so light weight, there's no legitimate reason not to carry one on your bike all the time. Haven't used it in sustained pouring rain, but it stood up to mild wet conditions w/out a problem. The push-button switch has a crisp, definite click.
This light has served me well for a few years now. Battery life is surprisingly long.
I've bought a few of these and they are noticeable and bright -- bright enough that I've gotten compliments from other cyclists at intersections. I also have a more expensive Planet Bike version and I prefer this Sette one over the Planet Bike one. The on/off button is easier to use on this. For the price, it is a great deal. As another reviewer noted, it can stop working if you drop it. But in one case, I managed to revive it by opening it up and re-bending one of the metal battery contact points back into place, which had bent out of place during the fall, so that it was no longer in contact with the battery.
I have the Planet Bike Turbo flash on one of my bikes and really like it. I got this for another bike, because I could get 3 of these for the price of one Turbo Flash. The mount is not as robust, but the light is bright, and I have used it for at least 3 months with no problem.
I decided to try this light because it was tired or transferring one light to another. It worked great and was nice and bright and was happy with the purchase. Then when pulling it out of my pocket, it slipped out of my hand and quit working completely. I tried new batteries and everything else. I had an department store rear light fall off my bike when I was moving and explode on the street and it still works. Was happy for a bit with it. Now all that is good on it is the batteries.

What is Dengue Fever?
Dengue fever is a viral illness spread by certain types of mosquitoes. Classic dengue, known for its low mortality but very uncomfortable symptoms, occurs mainly in the South Pacific and tropical Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. It is most common during rainy seasons in areas infested with infected mosquitoes. Occasionally, persons arriving from other countries may enter the United States with dengue fever. Up until September 2001, there hadn't been a confirmed transmission of dengue fever in Hawaii in decades.
Transmission of Virus
The dengue fever virus is transmitted to people as a result of being bitten by an infected Aedes mosquito. Aedes aegypti, flourishing in mankind's urban to suburban environments, has spread the disease to many parts of the world. Another mosquito, Aedes albopictus, a less important urban vector, has helped maintain the prevalence of dengue in Asian regions. Aedes albopictus is the species being blamed for the dengue cases in Hawaii. Mosquitoes cause more human suffering than any other organism with over one million people dying from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Mosquito vectored diseases include protozoan diseases, i.e. malaria, filarial diseases such as dog heartworm and viruses such as dengue, encephalitis and yellow fever. In Asia, more than 50,000 cases of Japanese encephalitis (JE) are reported annually. Yellow fever, dengue and malaria were once prevalent in the United States, but now they are rare.
Symptoms of Dengue Fever
The symptoms of dengue fever include the sudden onset of fever, painful headaches, eye, joint and muscle pain and rash. The rash typically begins on the arms or legs three to four days after the onset of the fever. The symptoms usually resolve completely within one to two weeks. Occasionally, individuals with dengue fever experience a blood-clotting problem. When this occurs, the illness is called dengue hemorrhagic fever. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a very serious illness characterized by abnormal bleeding and very low blood pressure (shock). Symptoms usually start five or six days after being bitten by an infected Aedes mosquito, but the onset can range from two to 15 days.
There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. Bed rest and common drugstore pain and fever medications are recommended. Because of the risk of bleeding and complications with Reye's syndrome in children, avoid aspirin. This virus has four types, called serotypes, which are named 1,2,3 and 4. Getting infected with one serotype does not protect you against the other serotypes; in fact, getting a second dengue infection, particularly with type 2, leads to an even worse infection. This manifests as either Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever or Dengue Shock Syndrome, which can be fatal. These are particularly dangerous in children, who suffer the most and who are at the greatest risk of dying from dengue. Still, most cases of dengue are benign (not-serious), ending after approximately 7 days. The Hawaii Department of Health has confirmed the dengue virus isolated from the Maui cases was the Type 1 virus.
• Try to avoid exposure to mosquitoes during their hours of highest activity. Aedes mosquitoes are usually most active in the early morning hours and in the later afternoon before dusk. In shady areas or indoors, they may be active at all times of the day.
• Use mosquito netting over beds and screens on windows and doorways.
• Avoid wearing dark clothing. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark clothing.
• Use mosquito coils. They do work; Vitamin B and garlic do not work. Aggressively control mosquitoes at your home. Eliminate mosquito breeding sites or standing water (planters, old tires, pet dishes). Windows and door screens should be checked for holes or tears.
• Use repellents and wear appropriate clothing such as long-sleeved shirts and long pants that reduce exposure to mosquito bites. To keep from over-heating and from aggressive mosquito punctures, wear loose-fitting clothes.
• Change standing water in birdbaths and rain barrels at least once a week.
• Empty children's pools and store them when they are not in use.
• Clean out your rain gutters regularly.
• Keep your lawn and hedges well trimmed to reduce shady areas where mosquitoes tend to rest.
• Use bleach in your family pool to help kill mosquito larvae.
• Try to pick a breezy location when enjoying the outdoors. Mosquitoes have a hard time flying even in light wind.
• Avoid using heavily scented shampoos and toiletries.

The curious case of the Colorado Rockies
7 comments:
This started out as a good article but finished with a bunch of fair weather colorado fan drivel. As pro athletes, the rockies aren't going to go home and tweet about losing games or throw tantrums outside of the game. Look where that got Tulo (hand). If you watch any of their expression on the field lately, its pure anger and frustration. Hawpe throws his bat further than the ball, Tulo gave Stewie a bad look after his error the other night and Barmes is blaming whole games on himself because of one error. This clubhouse is full of frustration. Get a life, twitterr doesn't fix swings. In this digital world, we think that life is all about tweets tweeples and myfaces and spacebooks. Tulo and Ian Stewart would punch you in the face if you said this to their faces.ReplyDelete
P.S. Fowler isn't starting, Jim Tracy is yelling his head off at these guys after games and lastly, this will not last. Tomorrow, Ian Stewart will hit a homerun off Davies and Tulo will go 3 for 5 with 3 RBI
First off, thanks for the comment.
Second, I must be watching a different game than you are. I don't see Tracy yell at anyone and in post game press conferences all he does is make excuse after excuse after excuse. When is he going to light a fire under this team? When is he going to say that this isn't acceptable?
The emotion that this team is showing right now is not an anger, but more of a pouty, feel sorry for myself, attitude. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen a lot of baseball and that is what I see.
Third, Fowler hasn't started for a while, but I would still consider him a starter, Smith was just out there to play the hot hand, Fowler wasn't being benched. Spilborghs was just getting some at bats tonight.
Fourth, I don't think that Tulo and Stewart would punch me in the face for saying that. They seem like they have a lot more to be worried about than punching some random blog writer in the face.
What players say on Twitter doesn't bother me a whole lot. I'm never in a hurry to tweet about my day job so I can understand players not wanting their frustrations to boil over there.ReplyDelete
That said, it's not throwing a bat or taking blame in the media that defines emotion or caring either. Of course they're frustrated in the moment and react, but are they doing the work to prepare themselves for success in those situations.
Are they reading scouting reports, watching video, talking amongst themselves about matchups, gaining whatever competitive edge they can before they even step on the field.
Watching some of these awful ABs against very mediocre pitchers. Watching Tulowitzki get gunned down by a mile at third. It really makes me wonder if that work is getting done. And if they are doing their homework thoroughly, is the information their receiving not good enough.
I think it's more than fair to wonder about that stuff. I think we'd be silly not to. Just a game or not, this is their job, and their job doesn't just involve what happens when 10,000-40,000 people are in the stands.
- MiketoberMay 22, 2010 at 7:52 PM
It is frustrating, but this is why baseball is a long season. Take a look around the league. SF has now dropped 4 straight and is only 2 above .500. The Yankees got swept by TB. How do you think those fans feel? Believe you me, I was a die-hard Cubs fan as a kid and I am no stranger to disappointment. This feels different to me because the talent is there, and the confidence is a win or two away.ReplyDelete
Another thing I like are the late runs. Early in the season the Rox were scoring in innings 1-5 but very little in 6-9. That really bothered me because you need that confidence to know you can always come back. And you need to strike fear into the heart of your opponent when they turn to their bullpen. Knowing you have the ability to come back keeps you sharp, both pitchers and defense. This road trip has been a disaster, but look at the box scores. The Rox are scoring in the 7th and 8th. Actually it is the early runs that are missing as they face Cy Young every day. The early runs will come back. If the late runs stay then we will be in pretty decent shape.
I agree with you. I think these players are frustrated, I just wish they would figure out how to turn their frustration into playing harder rather than playing mopey on the field. I think the Twitter thing bothered me because as fans are frustrated that the team is underperforming, Ian Stewart made it seem like all was good.
I agree with you that the late runs are a huge positive. They are fighting when the game is on the line. I just wish they would put it all together and stick it to someone. They clearly have the talent, so it almost makes it more frustrating when they can't figure it out.
Thanks for the comments!
But, what I am saying is that as fans, we are all so used to managers coaches and players having to do little intermission interviews where say the same crap over and over again because they just want to get it over with. I love how in hockey games, right after a period, a player, huffing and puffing, has to go talk to some person who graduated in comm and doesn't know anything about the sport. And like Mark said, I don't go tweet about my day job and they probably don't either just to avoid the nonsense. To prepare for each opponent, Tracy has meetings with his coaches that last hours. Juts because we don't see him lighting a fire under these guys ass', doesn't mean he isn't. Also, aren't the Rockies the team that start late every year?ReplyDelete
I see your point, and I agree that none of us really know what is going on behind the scenes. As far as the Twitter thing, as I mentioned above, it is tough as a fan to be frustrated that your team lost, then see one of the key players tweeting about their dinner that night...it makes it seem like the fans care more about the game then the players. I realize that in baseball you can't go home and waste a whole day being mad about each loss, but it is frustrating when it seems like they care less than us.
My point with Tracy is that maybe he is trying to light a fire under these guys, but it is clearly not working.
The Rockies are the team that starts late every year, but reality has to hit at some point. In both 07 and 09 the Rockies made runs that were unprecedented. To think that they can continue to just go out and cram six months of baseball into four months isn't realistic. It happened twice for them, that means that it will probably happen again in about 120 years.

Is it possible to specify test/user names/descriptions/templates for those in command line while running batch benchmarks?
I have a choice of either running them manually, entering data, or running automatically, with names made out of date/time. Could at least the latter include test name?
I have a list of senseless names after the batch is complete, and have to process them manually to dump to text/whatever format I need, renaming every test (since I can't tell which is which). When there are many tests, it becomes a cumbersome and dull task, nullifying all benefits of batch processing.
Is it a simple 'hack' to insert test name in the above automated test names for batch processing?

I can't seem to find the details for automatically naming tests according to date/time, where can I find the documentation?
