Elton John: 'I'm Luck To Be Alive'
Thursday, July 11, 2013
Elton John's recent health issues might be more serious that anyone thought. Elton, who postponed his summer dates, is undergoing surgery in a few weeks time after being diagnosed with an abscess of the appendix. Elton is currently receiving a course of intensive antibiotics to reduce toxins within the inflamed appendicitis site.
The "Rocket Man," who had to leave his July 5th performance in Germany due to excruciating abdominal pain, admitted to The Sun, "I'm lucky to be alive. I was a ticking time bomb. I guess I could have died at any time. I feel so lucky and so grateful to be alive. I played nine gigs and the White Tie and Tiara Summer Ball in agony."
Elton John says that although he ultimately has no regrets about how he lived his life early on, he's far happier since becoming sober and falling in love: "I'm glad that I lived my rock star years, because it made me appreciate now what I shouldn't be doing. When I was younger I did everything I possibly could and I had a great time. I took it too far and didn't know when to stop. But the good thing is that life since 1990 has been all about trying to grow up, trying to see things from a different perspective -- listening. And I was lucky to find my partner and that's been the saving grace of my life, as well."

|Convergence Rates of Cascade Algorithms with Infinitely Supported Masks
We investigate the solutions of refinement equations of the form $$ \phi(x)=\sum_{\alpha\in\mathbb Z^s}a(\alpha)\:\phi(Mx-\alpha), $$ where the function $\phi$ is in $L_p(\mathbb R^s)$$(1\le p\le\infty)$, $a$ is an infinitely supported sequence on $\mathbb Z^s$ called a refinement mask, and $M$ is an $s\times s$ integer matrix such that $\lim_{n\to\infty}M^{-n}=0$. Associated with the mask $a$ and $M$ is a linear operator $Q_{a,M}$ defined on $L_p(\mathbb R^s)$ by $Q_{a,M} \phi_0:=\sum_{\alpha\in\mathbb Z^s}a(\alpha)\phi_0(M\cdot-\alpha)$. Main results of this paper are related to the convergence rates of $(Q_{a,M}^n \phi_0)_{n=1,2,\dots}$ in $L_p(\mathbb R^s)$ with mask $a$ being infinitely supported. It is proved that under some appropriate conditions on the initial function $\phi_0$, $Q_{a,M}^n \phi_0$ converges in $L_p(\mathbb R^s)$ with an exponential rate.
Keywords:refinement equations, infinitely supported mask, cascade algorithms, rates of convergence

My content for J2ME passed for other platforms and devices, but failed for Asha 501, with the following issue:
Does "Content should only be closed by swipe or hardware Back-button" mean, that also exit button in application main screen is forbidden? My app has exit button in the main screen as well, but it might be that the options menu testcase was in the list before check for other ways of exiting.Michell (NS-QA) (Fri, 21 Jun 2013 08:16:15 +0000)
Passed QA with the following issue:
SUMMARY: Option menu includes EXIT functionality.
1. Download and install the content.
2. Launch the application.
3. Open Options menu.
ACTUAL RESULT: Option menu of the content includes EXIT functionality.
EXPECTED RESULT: EXIT is not allowed to be included in options menu. Content should only be closed by swipe or hardware Back-button.
AFFECTED DEVICES: Nokia Asha Software Platform 1.0 and onwards devices
I took a look at the latest Nokia Store Content Guidelines (1.5), and there's still the following condition for Java Applications:
220.127.116.11 The application must meet the Unified Testing Criteria for quality
The UTC criteria (June 2012 final) in turn has the following item:
FN8 Main menu requirements: The main functionalities of Exit, Help and About are easily available through the main menu.
In my application's case, options menu is the main menu, as the app lands directly to main view without going through any intermediate menu, so it seems that it's impossible to satisfy both the UTC and new Asha requirements.
I guess a possible workaround would be to check if the system property com.nokia.keyboard.type equals "OnekeyBack" and in that case not add the exit item in the menu (or button anywhere else?). However, this means that basically all old applications need to be "ported" in order to pass QA for Asha Platform. Would it be easier just to allow the old style exit functionality, at least for apps such as this that have a completely custom UI and don't even try to look like the native Asha apps.

How to get round and do more with Marketing in a Box
This article looks at the author's experience in using certain aspects of the 'Digital Marketing Toolkit'. Then a selection of features of the toolkit are analyzed and recommendations are made for future improvements while giving useful tips to the reader. A brief overview of the mobile phone market share in the world is also presented to highlight the enormous monetization potential applications could bring in and why the 'Digital Marketing Toolkit' is a great way to harness it.
Note: This is a community entry in the Series 40 Webinars - Contribute and Win Competition 2013Q1 with Marketing in a Box competition.
Series 40
The 'Digital Marketing Toolkit' that comes with the 'Marketing In a Box' along with the 'Marketing Guidance' is yet another free cool tool from Nokia that can be used to create marketing videos, web sites, banners and Facebook tabs for your Nokia Asha and Windows Phone applications.
Prerequisites (if you wish to use the full features of the tool)
- The URL of your published app
- A YouTube account for your app
- A Facebook page for your app
- A Twitter page for your app
- Text content for your web site and/or Facebook tab
- You have at least 4 or more screenshots on your published application profile
Market analysis
According to ICT Facts and Figures, in 2013, there will be almost as many mobile-cellular subscriptions as people in the world, with more than half in the Asia-Pacific region (3.5 billion out of 6.8 billion total subscriptions).
And the continuous high growth of mobile broadband is expected to reach more than 2 billion subscriptions worldwide by the end of 2013.
- Two billion of mobile broadband subscriptions are estimated worldwide by end 2013.
The potential Nokia phones and the opportunities 'Marketing in a Box' could offer is one not to be missed by application developers and why it is so is apparent by the worldwide mobile phone sales data presented below.
As the market share in the mobile phone sector continues to grow faster and is predicted to overtake desktop Internet usage by 2014, creating awareness and competing with other applications on the competitive application market store is paramount. And we discuss below a selection of features of the 'Digital Marketing Toolkit' where scope for improvement could not go unnoticed and could be achieved with minor changes.
Planning ahead
'Name your marketing kit' – the marketing kit name cannot be changed or repeated.
You might struggle a bit here purely because you want to be consistent with the marketing kit name per application especially when you are going to create campaigns for different languages and platforms. One way of achieving this is explained bellow. However, you can be experimental.
You want to use the same application name for all languages. By doing so, you can easily identify campaigns associated with your applications especially if you have a portfolio. Therefore, we came up with a naming convention, 'YOUR APP NAME' EN/CN/RU etc. In other words 'your app name' followed by the language suffix you want to create the campaign for.
The naming convention for languages is sorted. Then you will be faced with another issue, the selection of different platforms. Easy 'APP NAME' EN/CN/RU etc. 'PLATFORM'. That is 'APP NAME EN WP' or 'APP NAME EN 311' or vice versa. However, you might struggle a bit with this technique if your application name is too long. There is a maximum limit of 25 characters in your marketing kit name.
Spoilt for choice in 'Selecting the assets to create'
Even if you just want to create a video, it is recommended that you try out all the other assets there. This will give you insights into your future marketing campaigns and also help you prepare beforehand. You will find the video creation as the most enjoyable and easiest thing to do out of the four assets provided in the digital marketing tool.
- In creating videos
One feature the tool currently does not have is the option to upload additional screen shots within. Since screenshots are pulled from your existing published application profile, if you do not have enough screen shots (at least 4), it is advisable to update your application profile before using this tool.
The adjectives, the tool offers are fantastic. Yes with a bit of good online translator help, you can find the local language equivalent to the English adjective or the first language you are using. However this is time consuming and your near guesses could terribly go wrong. Therefore we propose an improvement to this and call it 'Adjective Grid/Reference Chart'. The grid will enable anyone to choose the relevant adjective by using a number without having to have any knowledge of local languages or seek translation help.
- The proposed 'Adjective Grid/Reference Chart' illustration
When you choose a language, the default language of adjectives will also be selected and you only have to choose the number corresponding to the adjective.
We also would like to see a field for entering custom adjectives.
- In creating a web site
It is much easier and simpler to create a website with this tool and the text editor is handy. However, the text content tends to overflow the width and height of the web page depending on the amount of text you put in and results in a distorted layout. There needs to be a pre-defined web page height and width as well as for columns and text alignments. That way anyone even without the knowledge of HTML/CSS can maintain the appearance of their web page by merely controlling the amount of text put in.
- In creating a Facebook tab
Here is the same, the text content tends to overflow the width and height of the web page depending on the amount of text you put in and results in a distorted layout. There needs to be a pre-defined web page height and width as well as for columns and text alignments. The width of the Facebook tab/page appears to be too narrow to fit inside Facebook if you were to embed it.
Cutting corners
If you are considering creating videos in Chinese and publishing there, you might already be aware that YouTube is banned in China, at least for the time being. There is a YouTube equivalent in China and it is called YouKu, the second largest video site in the world with an Alexa ranking just after YouTube. If your YouTube account does not allow you to download your videos or you have difficulty in figuring out how to do it, there are free applications you can use. iLivid is one such free application we found very useful.
Therefore if you want to get round and do a bit more with MIB tools, you can publish to other video sites as well. If you happen to know other major video sites especially in countries where YouTube is banned or locally popular please mention them as a comment bellow.
- To introduce two integrated drop down boxes next to 'Name your marketing kit '. One is to choose the language and the other to select the platform or the phone model. That way the developers can use the same name (preferably the same application name) for different campaigns of the same. Our suggestion is to move the current language and platform selection 'drop down boxes' next to 'Name your marketing kit' and integrate with it.
- To consider replacing the current 'drop down adjective selection boxes' with an inbuilt adjective grid or a reference chart where adjectives are selected by a number based on the default language selected as illustrated above. This will enable developers to create localised campaigns with confidence without having to rely on translation help or any knowledge of the vernacular.
- To provide a field for entering custom adjectives.
- To enable a video 'download' button next to videos created. This will make posting videos on other sites easier.
- To introduce more languages based on the Nokia market share.
- To explore the possibility of creating 'before launch' promotions using an internal URL link provided for applications that are approved and scheduled for a launch date.
- To create a market data section within the main 'Marketing in a Box' page. This will help developers to make informed decision and target campaigns without having to conduct extensive market research on their own. After all, success of marketing depends on good quality market data/information and transforming them into profitability.
In concluding remarks, we would like to see more languages, themes and music tracks being introduced, an adaptation of a user-friendly adjective selection system similar to the one suggested above, a better marketing kit name convention, a 'download video' link, option to upload screenshots, better web site and Facebook tab text alignments. These changes can be implemented with minimal changes to the existing toolkit.
The 'Digital Marketing Toolkit' can be highly recommended to developers wishing to create their own marketing materials. It only takes 30 to 45 minutes to create assets and get your videos published. We hope that more and more developers will embrace this great free toolkit from Nokia.

Matt Randall's milestone
Monday, February 4, 2013
DOVER – The Dover Chamber was pleased to recognize Matt Randall's Black Belt Academy for reaching a 25 year milestone for their business.
Parents rave about the positive aspects Matt brings into their lives. Students behavior improves both at home and in school as well as learning respect, and discipline. They learn how to change negative habits to positive ones, how to strengthen their mental focus, and how to work towards becoming a true leader.
Matt is a very modest man when talking about his gold medal. His greatest pride comes when he speaks about his family. His wife Kaz, holds a black belt, and their six children all train at the Academy. Son, MacKenzie, 17, holds a 2nd degree black belt, the others are working towards their own goals. Matt's passion continues to burn strong after 25 years. He hopes to continue to grow the business, perhaps expanding to more locations to accommodate more students.

5. Leaving Lothlórien
In the twilight that had fallen upon Lórien, time ran its strange courses. The days slipped by swiftly, and the nights stalled, run aground upon a deeper Night and its growing clangors and silences. The Song was shifting – its Measures beat out the weeks in a haste that even Men might marvel at. Time was running out...
Pippin gazed up at the waxing moon, which rode pale and high in the afternoon. Soon we will leave this place, he thought regretfully. The world outside remained a shadowy horror, but over the course of long, aimless days, he had felt his grief ease gently aside, drawing back from him enough that it no longer crippled him. And though the darkness remained deep beyond the golden woods, he, irrepressible as ever, faced it now with a sense of determined anticipation. But for the moment, he was more than content to remain absolutely still and let the world flow past him.
"I wonder if Mr. Bilbo is looking at that same moon," said a wistful voice at his side. Pippin glanced right and saw Sam standing there, gazing up intently.
"I shouldn't wonder if he were," Pippin replied. "Funny, isn't it? I haven't noticed the moon of late, yet it seems to me that I've seen it like this before. I wonder how long we've been here."
"Strider says time is different here, but what he means by that I couldn't say, unless it means just this: all the days run together, and somehow Moria seems very far away." But as remote as the vast mines and terrible, darksome splendor of Khazad-dûm were, the hobbits fell awkwardly silent. Gandalf's face flashed before Pippin's eyes, and he felt his heart speed in response. When we set out, Gandalf shan't be with us, and there will be no waiting for him to arrive and save us. Now it is up to us! The time was now past when he would have shuddered at the very thought, or wept; but he felt a thrill of dread nonetheless. Beside him, Sam was blushing fiercely, whether from embarrassment for the slip or in an effort not to cry himself, Pippin knew not.
"Time does flow by here, like a river over rocks: heedlessly, I mean. And though I do want to stay, I have this feeling that it is time to move on at last."
"So do I, sir," Sam replied, nodding, his plain face set in a stalwart expression that caused Pippin to frown and blink, for he had not seen the other in such a mood before. "So do I, and Mr. Frodo does, too."
"Say Sam, how is old Frodo? He keeps much to himself these days," Pippin inquired.
Samwise glanced at him from the corners of his eyes, and when he spoke it was with great reluctance. "Yes, well… I suppose he has, sir. And… you being his friend… I don't like to speak where I'm not wanted, Mr. Pippin, but I don't like how he's so quiet all the time. Of all of us, he seems the only one who hasn't got past that blasted bridge, if you understand me."
"I do indeed. Not that we shall ever truly 'get past' I suppose," Pippin replied thoughtfully. "But you mean he hasn't moved away from it at all."
"Aye, that's it. He clings to it, sir, and won't let nothing, not even Lothlórien, pull him away. That's no way to start a long journey – I know that now! And it isn't right, I think. There's something more in this than… than Gandalf's fall." Sam managed with only a slight stumble to force the words out. "I think he must have – "
Of a sudden, he stopped, scowling, and spots of red appeared once more on his cheeks. "Go on," Pippin urged, unwilling to let the matter drop here. "Frodo must have what?"
"I don't know as I'm supposed to say anything." Sam tried lamely to avoid an answer, but Pippin only shook his head and laid his hands on the other's shoulders firmly.
"Sam lad, you must tell me! If something is amiss with Frodo, then we must try to help him. But how can I do that if I don't know what is wrong?"
"It's just… it concerns the lady," Sam coughed, and his eyes cut upward to the treetops, where lay the hall of Galadriel. Pippin pursed his lips in a low whistle.
"Well, if that is it, then you must tell me – that can't keep! I mean, if the lady has said something to worry or help him, it can't lie silent. Well, can it, Sam?" the young Took pressed, more in earnest than he had perhaps ever been in his life.
"All right, all right! We, Mr. Frodo and me, we went with the lady Galadriel to her mirror. Just a basin filled with water, but you could see… visions… in it," Sam admitted. "I don't know if any are true, or if they're all only in my head, if you know what I mean. The lady said some don't come to pass, because the future is not something to be grasped from the present. But I think… I am nearly certain that Mr. Frodo saw something he didn't like. Something on top of everything else, for enough's happened to unsettle even Strider. But this touched something deeper, I think."
"And you don't know what he saw? He would not say?"
"No, sir, he wouldn't. Very queer it was: he and the lady started talking, and they both seemed to know what the other meant, but I couldn't make heads nor tails of it." Sam paused, shaking his head ruefully. "Something about rings and the Dark Lord, and the First Song of the Aye-noor," he said at last, pronouncing that last quite awkwardly.
"The Song of the what? What are these… these… creatures?"
"As I said, sir, I don't rightly know. I think, though, that Elbereth is one, or perhaps close to one. Might be a question for Legolas or Strider, if I thought I could explain why I was asking! But Mr. Frodo seemed dreadfully pale of a sudden, and Lady Galadriel, too. As if they had both thought of the same thing, and didn't like it at all."
"And you haven't any idea what it might be," Pippin sighed, discouraged.
"No sir," Sam replied softly, bowing his head. "Not for the likes of me is such talk. Me, now, I've enough to worry over with just my Gaffer and wanting to go home to my own hole in Bagshot Row – I miss him, sir! Him and… and Rose, too, especially!" That last came out in a punctuated rush, as if torn from Sam by his own conscience, and he seemed close to tears. Pippin swallowed hard, and put his arms about the other's shoulders and gave him a gentle shake.
"There now! Brave lad!" Pippin mumbled by way of clumsy consolation. Bagshot Row, and the Cotton's farm. Rosie Cotton…. It was hard to comfort someone when one suffered from the same affliction, but Peregrin Took gave as easily as he laughed. Besides, he felt guilty, knowing that his own feelings for Rose Cotton were hardly disinterested, and that Sam had not the least suspicion. Years ago he had fallen under the spell of Farmer Cotton's lovely daughter, but tween-aged shyness had got the better of him.
Not that it would have mattered if I'd said a word, for she'd eyes only for Sam. And I wouldn't think of trying to convince her to look my way, when Sam loves her so, he thought. Still, it was hard to wish Sam well of her, in this time and place, when he knew that to do so meant he would never achieve his heart's desire.
"And that's not all, sir," Sam whispered, hoarse with the effort to control his tears. "Bad enough, missing home and Rose and the Gaffer, but there's worse things. I couldn't tell this to Mr. Frodo, it would've been cruel. But I can't keep it to myself either. I saw something in that Mirror. It was almost at the end of the visions when suddenly everything got very dark. I was about to pull back, when the water… it wavered and it seemed as though there were shapes in it. Nazgûl, I thought to myself. And they were, sir! Black Riders pressed so close in a ring about us that I couldn't see even the sky – but then I couldn't even look that far up, I think!" Sam paused, and his voice grew softer, yet more shrill as it tightened further. "Me and Mr. Frodo were trapped somewhere. And I couldn't let those filthy creatures have him – him with a Ring on and… and I knew it wasn't going to be him much longer. So I… I…"
"What did you do, Sam?" Pippin coaxed, easing the other down to sit upon the turf. "I promise you, I'll not say a word to anyone!"
"They were going to take him to the Tower," the other said, tone dull and flat now, lacking all inflection. It was as if Sam spoke in a foreign tongue, repeating the words verbatim as he received them, without understanding enough to give them life. "They would have taken him, and to die with the Ring on his hand – no. No that was too much. I had to save him, sir, you understand. I had to, and there was only one way out. Through Sting…."
"Sting? I don't underst – " Pippin stopped abruptly, and the last syllable hissed through his teeth as enlightenment struck painfully. "Sam, no!" he murmured softly, shaking his head in denial. "No, no! It was only a vision. You said yourself that the Lady Galadriel said they don't all come true. Maybe even none of them, if we are all careful."
"I don't know, Mr. Pippin." Sam buried his face in his hands and scrubbed at his eyes, leaving white runnels as he let his hands slide clenched over his cheeks. "I just don't know. But if that's even a possibility… I couldn't do that, any more than I could fly!"
"Well then, doubtless it will never happen unless you sprout wings!" Pippin said, falsely bright in an attempt to push the darkness away. "Come now, my dear fellow, let's not think on such things any further. All right? Think instead how glad Rose will be to have you home again."
"You're right, sir," Sam sighed, heaving to his feet. "But I do wish I had never even dreamt that!"
So do I, Sam, Pippin thought, as he wordlessly fell in at his friend's side. So do I!
Meanwhile, high above the floor of the valley, Legolas perched easily upon a slender branch and looked out at the golden roof of the forest. A butterfly, with wings no less brilliant than the day itself, fluttered past, tracing its erratic path, and the Elf watched it go. Thus do we journey, he mused. The destination is clear before us, but our path is crooked and twisting out of necessity! But for the moment, even thought of the long road, which they must soon face again without the shield of Lórien's gilded girdle, could not dampen his spirits. The day was fair, and his own winding explorations of the forest left little room for discontent….
"Elves are daft indeed if they think any wingless creature was meant to see the earth from such heights!" The growled complaint issued from behind and below him, but though Legolas sighed dramatically, his lips quirked in a smile as he glanced over his shoulder at Gimli, Glóin's son.
The Dwarf was wedged firmly between two stout branches, unwilling to risk the freer (and more dangerous) 'paths.' His face was set in a formidable glower, but Legolas knew well that it was assumed. In truth, he suspected the other of enjoying the outing, though Gimli might never admit to such heresy. Strange how transparent he is, now that I turn my eye to him! How did I overlook that before? The elven prince turned fully and began to make his graceful way back down to where his friend clung like an abandoned kitten.
"Trees have not wings, yet they do see the world from above," he pointed out, raising a pale brow.
"Trees, he says!" Gimli replied, sounding exasperated, but there was a glint of real humor in his voice. "May we now descend so that I need not fear for either of our necks should our conversation distract us?"
"This way then, if you be not craven!" Legolas replied, and began to scramble down swiftly. Gimli uttered something in his own tongue, which sounded rather like a curse, but he followed his friend and tormentor, if more slowly. When at last, Legolas set foot on the ground, the Dwarf was still upon the rope ladder that dangled from the lowest branch.
"You will be the death of me yet," Gimli declared when at last he stood before him, scowling up at Legolas, and the Elf laughed.
"I doubt it not! But, we are now upon the ground, and you were quite right: we have much still to discuss."
"Indeed! I thought you wished to keep an eye upon Boromir today," Gimli replied, abandoning in an instant their banter for more serious matters.
"And I did," Legolas responded, sobering. "Even now, he is not far: perhaps a mile from here."
"And are your ears, perchance, as sharp as your eyes?" Gimli asked, raising dark brows.
"Even were they, it would have mattered little. He spoke to no one, and has wandered alone the entire day," Legolas sighed, and his face was troubled on Boromir's behalf.
"And when he is with us, he says little." Gimli frowned, stroking his beard. "I like it not. I think that Boromir is not accustomed to loneliness, and I fear what that might mean."
"You o'erpass me in this," Legolas admitted. "Speak more plainly!"
"I mean that Boromir is not one to keep much to himself, nor to suffer dispute easily or in silence. He is a warrior, after all." The Dwarf shrugged. "It is in him to fight, yet he has said no contrary word, nor spoken without prompting, since the argument that first night. And yet is it not clear that he feels alone? That he feels 'tethered' as he said?"
The Elf was silent for a time, considering the other's conclusions. "You may be right. But as with all our days of watching, this brings us no closer to the heart of the matter."
"True, but it brings us back to the beginning: to the argument," Gimli replied, and then frowned again. "I wish Aragorn had heard it, for perhaps he might have seen or heard something that we did not." He paused, then: "It has been many weeks – Boromir is no more helped by that time than are we. Should we not speak to Aragorn on this matter, Legolas?"
But the Elf shook his head. "Nay, not yet! I think, in the days to come, he will recognize himself the change in Boromir, if he has not already. The time is not yet ripe, I deem."
Gimli sighed. "And yet should we wait, we may miss the harvest, or find naught but a husk on the branch," he pointed out.
"I know the risk," Legolas replied. "But still, I would wait, and while we have this brief time of safety, I would rather Aragorn see to his own needs than burden him with another responsibility."
This drew a deeper frown from Gimli, and he asked, surprised: "What needs are those?"
"I know not precisely," Legolas replied. "But one hears things."
"What things?"
"Naught that I should speak of here," the Elf demurred, ignoring his companion's exasperated snort. For though he would not deny a friend joy, still, the rumor that had come to his ears – that their friend sometimes was absent from their company to be with his betrothed – troubled him, for it was no light matter. Not when that bond went between Elf and Man: given the gravity of such a choice, among Elves, it was nothing to speak of, unless at great need. So far as Legolas could see, there was no great need. "For," said he, and not only to himself, "he will soon have to take up all the Company's troubles as well as his own, and if he has found some peace of his own, then I would not trouble it yet. Come my friend, we came to speak of Boromir, not of Aragorn. And to say farewell to good Lórien, fairest of all forests!"
So saying, Legolas led the way through the woods, and Gimli shook his head in a resigned, if amused, fashion, surrendering to deadly-serious elven whim, and followed along. Legolas smiled inwardly. And:
It is not good for a Man to be alone as Boromir is. You are right in that, my friend, he thought. Nor for a Dwarf, nor even for an Elf. At least I am no longer alone on this long path!
Had Legolas known the truth of rumor, he might have been less silent – at least to Aragorn. He did not, however – no one did, unless mayhap the Lord and Lady of Lothlórien, though not from any word of either their granddaughter or their newly-gained grandson. But if they knew, they kept as silent as the lovers themselves as the days fell away into weeks and the weeks themselves faded into the past, 'til the day of departure loomed over all the Company. Then especially did they seek each other out, between preparation and counsel, though they did not between them speak of the journey that awaited. Rather, of other times, and journeys, and memories of other places did they speak – of all the long years spent apart, and which had not been shared, and which, it seemed, they were compelled to share now, lest there be no time later.
"What think you, love?" Aragorn asked one evening. Before him stood Arwen, silhouetted against the open window, and the starlight glittered pale on her dark hair. Long had they sat in this little chamber among the high boughs of Caras Galadon, talking quietly together while the sun sank into the west. Eventually, they had fallen silent, and Arwen, restless, had risen to go and stand so as to catch the evening breezes, unquiet writ upon her fair face.
"That if you must leave soon, then I shall miss you, and even Lórien shall hold little joy for me," she said. Aragorn rose and silently stalked over to stand behind her. He drew her into his arms, holding her gently, and together they gazed out at the velvet night. The candle on the stand had long since extinguished itself, but neither had moved to rekindle it. Darkness was more comfortable of late, more concealing, protective – forgiving – than was pitiless daylight. For it spared them more than the eyes of others – it spared them each other, and at times, they needed that.
For with darkness came desire – hard to deny, having once submitted to it; harder still when one of them had no desire to deny it. And it was not that Aragorn felt untempted, nor that his regrets were so great – he had tried awhile, but in the end, he could not regret that evening in the woods. Which made it hard, when Arwen came to him, to refuse. Indeed, he hadn't at first, and even now, no one could say he did not tempt himself, but...
But though he might not regret, this furtive clutching in the shadows was not what he desired, for there was the matter of her father and brothers, and her grandparents, which honor could not simply cast aside. A late consideration, some might say, so late as to be senseless now, for the change was wrought. Yet it sat not well with him, either to continue in the darkness, to lie with her and lie to all others at the same time, or stand upon poor-come-by right and insist upon it to family who could but grieve to lose Arwen, and especially now. Ill wrought, their union, however innocently, he thought, and he would be leaving in any case soon. Better, then, for there to be nothing to insist upon – though he knew that that, too, grieved her, no less than it did him.
"Say not so," he implored therefore.
"You would have me lie?" she asked.
He sighed. "Have we not already?"
"We could do otherwise," she challenged, not for the first time, and turned in his arms to face him. Her eyes gleamed dimly in the night, and he felt her hands rest warmly upon him.
"You know," he told her, "that I cannot say 'yes.' Not as we are. Not as all of this – " he gestured to the world without, knowing well she could see even if he could not " – stands."
To that, she sighed, but said: "I know that you cannot."
He did not miss the slight stress on 'you.' Aragorn shut his eyes a moment, then reopened them, and lifted a hand to cup her face in it. He felt her lean all too gladly into his touch, and he could not but feel ashamed.
"And I know," he said then softly, "that I have brought you little enough joy. Nay, hear me!" he insisted, when she began to protest. "I do not apologize for that night, but can you say that I have done well by you – either then or now or any time since? Have I been what you wished?"
"You are what I wish," she answered, and he grimaced.
"But not as you wish – or we should not stand here now and speak thus," he replied. To that, she said nothing, and he felt a crooked smile tug at his mouth for the painful irony, as he told her: "I never looked to wrong you, and all the weeks since I came here, have I done aught else? 'Tis not that I hold you lower than others, but I know not how to do right by all."
Arwen bowed her head then. "Your time here grows short, my love," she warned, sad reminder.
"Too short," he murmured unhappy agreement into her hair. "There is not time enough for amends – not to you, though I owe them."
"Aye, you do," said she simply, lifting her eyes once more to his, and he felt her fingers brush along his brow, smoothing aside a lock of hair, tucking it behind his ear. Fingertips drew thence down and came to rest just over his pulse. "Be glad, then, of patience!" For a moment, neither moved nor spoke, but when her lips met his but a moment later, it was like rain come to earth – easy, swift, inevitable.
So much so, that it wasn't 'til the couch was at his back and she above him that he remembered himself, and sought to put her off. "Arwen," he protested, but was silenced once more by her mouth upon his, insistent as her hands... But though insistent, she was not relentless, so that when she withdrew, he managed hoarsely: "This you call patience?"
"This I call justice," she answered, and he shivered slightly at her tone – hard and laughing, grieved and loving all at once. "One night," she told him, then. "It does not make amends – that patience must bear, and shall. But you will give me one night, and suffer this one wrong to honor – yours and my father's and my family's and mine, as well – that I may miss you better, since you hold your absence at so little cost."
Unaccustomed as he was to calculate on his back, still, that seemed to weigh nearly evenly, though perhaps he might not have said so elsewhere. "So be it," he breathed, and acquiesced, and for a time afterward, there was between them nothing of either honor or fear.
The night passed slowly. The stars traced out their path, though they heeded them not. But when at last the night began to lift, and the dark of their room gave way to a deep blue dim, then Arwen lifted her head from his chest, and faintly could he see her face – dear and troubled, though she smiled a little when he drew his thumb down the line of her throat to rest his hand at length between her breasts.
"When must you depart?" she asked him then.
"A week – ten days at most," he answered, ere adding softly: "Better had we gone already."
Upon hearing which, Arwen said naught, but she withdrew from him then, rising to go once more to that window. He, after a moment, sat up and reached for his clothes. And he was quick about the washstand, for though Lórien knew no touch of frost, still, the air was cool.
Arwen had not moved from her contemplation, and he gazed at her a long moment, eyes wandering over her pale outline, and the shadows that lay upon her, and then with a sigh, he pulled his shirt over his head, and then his tunic, and buckled his belt over all. Then he stooped, found her cloak, and, joining her there by the window, laid it about her shoulders. She raised a hand to clutch the cloth, and his hand, too, and for a moment, they stood there unmoving, staring out at the waning night.
"Since Midsummer of that year I have watched all your ways: east and west, I have looked for you," she said softly at length. "But I cannot see the road now – all to the east lies hidden from my sight." And she turned then to him and laid her hand to his cheek. "Remember me," she said urgently; "When the road grows hard – remember me!"
He did not answer her with words. Long that kiss lasted, 'til passion threatened once more to claim them both, and then he drew back, assurance sealed. The light had grown greyer, and he bowed his head before it a moment, then looked her squarely in the eye. "I should leave."
"Yes," she murmured, and stood tall before him – as a queen uncrowned. "Yes, you should. Be well, beloved, this day and all the others!"
"Vanimeldë," he answered, and made her a bow. Then drawing his own cloak about his shoulders, he turned away and left her there, and passed in silence into the stillness of the world without.
And as Aragorn left Arwen, the dissonance at the edge of the Void reached the peak of its creative frenzy, fracturing the Song, and falling into deadly Silence. The Rift opened wider as the Fellowship prepared to depart upon its appointed path….

Wow. Ubuntu really sucks that much? After login into KDE, memory usage on my system is 290MB. What on earth is Ubuntu wasting the additional 1GB memory on?
Phoronix: E17 Does A Desktop Shootout, The Winner Is....
The E17 release manager has done a "desktop shootout" where he compares the start-up speed and resource consumption of the KDE Plasma, GNOME Shell, Xfce, Unity, and Unity 2D desktops. He also ended up throwing in E17 and TWM too...
Wow. Ubuntu really sucks that much? After login into KDE, memory usage on my system is 290MB. What on earth is Ubuntu wasting the additional 1GB memory on?
Stopping KDE is halfway stopping global warming.
I'm running on a 4GB RAM system with Arch Linux and KDE (the minimal install) and it eats around 600mb on start.
He has 16GB.
And I bet you have less than 4.
I've barely had any issues with KDE, what the fuck are you talking about? Are you running it on a 1 GB laptop and complaining because you can run a full desktop environment?
Once again LXDE is forgotten about, which annoys me considering its pretty much the only TRUE lightweight DE that is still actively maintained.
I know that Fluxbox was really fast when I was using it about a year ago. But it wasn't for me KDE is much more useful so and that's why it starts 10 seconds longer than E17 (only 10 seconds? I thought I will be about another minute, so I'm positively surprised).
Now it's mostly the desktop effects that are bugged. I'm running 4.9.2 at the moment and the plasma dashboard makes all windows just disappear behind the "search and run" desktop instead of being desaturated and blurred. I have no preview windows in the taskbar. The localization works unexpectedly. LC_ALL=Some_Locale systemsettings translates the menus and toolbars but not the kcm modules. KDE needs 2 to 3 times as long as booting the kernel including all services and lightdm. The akonadi database in .local/share/akonadi/db_data is growing and growing, especially the ib_logfile* files and you can not remove them because akonadi is going to rebuild them somehow every time you start kde. I'm lucky it's only 148 MB for me but on the internet there are reports of 3+ GB.
And what does he do that he needs 45+ seconds to boot...?
I can only say two things:
1. a first run is hardly a relevant metric
2. all DEs have performed in the same ballpark
From what I saw, most problems with KDE is when people are using non-vanilla KDE (such in Ubuntu). For me, moving from Ubuntu to Arch was a real new quality.

Portsmouth swims ahead of the curve
Sunday, January 13, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — For the Portsmouth High School swim team, success can be measured not only in wins and losses, but in teamwork, friendships and camaraderie.
"I'm looking forward to seeing who will make states," said sophomore Olivia Nossiff.
Wyman has also had a strong showing already, qualifying in the 500 freestyle, the 100 breaststroke, the 200 IM, and the 200 freestyle.
"Everybody helps everybody else," Wilson said. "We all want to get better, but we want everyone else to improve also."

Saline County Sheriff Bruce Pennington announced this afternoon he will be giving up his office and retiring on Oct. 1.
Pennington came under scrutiny after being charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest in conjunction with a June 29 incident at Denton's Trotline.
"My wife and I have been discussing this and we decided it was the right thing to do," Pennington said. "I am not going to take a long break. The first thing I am going to do is get out and look for a job."
A new sheriff will be appointed to office prior to Oct. 1 by the Saline County Quorum Court, but will but will not be eligible for re-election in 2014.
"The Quorum Court will take applications from people interested and qualified for the job," said Doug Curtis, Saline County Clerk.
