If I'm already a member of the Iberia Plus program , can I make a reservation for another person from my "Iberia Plus Personal area"? | Yes, so long as that person will be travelling with you. If, on the other hand, you wish to make the reservation for someone without travelling yourself, then we offer you the option of making a reservation without this person needing to join the Iberia Plus program, using the option "If you are not a member of our Iberia Plus Program" and then " Continue providing passenger details ". This option is the one that allows you to make reservations without the need to be an Iberia Plus member. If you made the reservation from your " personal area ", all the details applied to the reservation would be your own and not the person's for whom you wish to make the reservation. You will need to access this service via your "Personal Area" only where the reservation you wish to make is in exchange for Avios and is for one of the beneficiaries you have registered in your Iberia Plus account. |
Why should I join the Iberia Plus program? | To take advantage of the program benefits, and because not only would your obligatory personal details be stored (meaning you don't have to fill them out every time you make a purchase), but you would also be able to obtain information on your Iberia Plus card and exclusive special offers for Program members, building up Avios right from the outset. |
How can I pay at Iberia.com? | Payment for tickets can only be made using the credit and debit cards accepted by Iberia: Visa, American Express, UATP/Airplus, Diners Club, Master Card (except Maestro card), Carte Blanche, and Access. Visa Electron, 4B und Red 6000. If when your payment card is charged, the card issuer doesn't authorize the transaction, we will inform you of the problem via e-mail, in order to check if the details you have provided are correct or to provide us with a new payment card. Remember that Iberia does not accept virtual cards for the purchase of tickets |
What is the Card Verification Value (CVV)? | The CVV consists of a validation code to verify the authenticity of your Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club or American Express card. On VISA, MASTERCARD and DINERS CLUBcards, this security code can be found on the back of the card and is identified by the last three digits of the number series. On AMERICAN EXPRESS cards, the four digit security code appears on the front of the card. |
Do I have to show my credit card at the airport? | You do not always have to show the credit card used to buy the ticket at the airport on the day of departure. When you purchase your ticket (either through Iberia.com or by calling Serviberia) and depending on a number of factors, such as flight dates, destination, cost of the ticket and the country where the credit card was issued, you will be notified immediately if you need to show your credit card at the airport on the day of departure. If you purchased your ticket from an Iberia ticket office or a travel agent's, please check again with the issuing office. If you are told upon purchasing your ticket that a credit card should be presented, you MAY NOT use a virtual card as this cannot be physically presented. |
I've detected a double charge after purchasing the flight ticket, what should I do? | When using a debit card in purchasing a flight ticket, there may be a double charge or temporary retention for an amount similar to the cost of the ticket on your debit card. The retention will disappear automatically in around 15 to 30 days, depending on your bank. This is part of the normal operation when using a debit card to buy a flight ticket in Spain. It is a problem that is completely outside the control of Iberia and is in line with the operation in Spain between the banks and the card issuers. The same occurs with credit cards, although it does not have the same repercussion because with a credit card your available credit will simply decrease for a few days. |
What ticket purchase options are available through Iberia.com? | As a general rule, although it will depend on country from which the purchase/reservation is made, the following options are available: Electronic Ticket: Your credit card will be charged automatically as part of the "On-line Reservation and Purchase" process. You should indicate the document that each passenger will show when they check in at the airport to provide identification. Children that don't have documentation will have to be identified using their accompanying adult's document. Messenger Delivery : Your card will be charged automatically during the process of 'On-line Reservation and Purchase'. The tickets will be handed over in person by a courier. Ticket (s) may not be delivered to mailboxes, restaurants, hotels, call centres or Internet cafés. To make the delivery, the person who receives the tickets will need to sign the delivery confirmation note. Please remember that door-to-door delivery incurs an additional delivery fee, that will depend on the country from which the request is made. One or more tickets can be included in a single delivery. Collect at Iberia Offices in Spain or at Travel Agencies (in Spain only) : the card will be charged at the moment the ticket (s) are issued. You have 48 hours to collect your ticket (s) at Iberia Ticket Offices or at Travel Agencies. Once this period is over, the reservation will be cancelled and no charge will be made to your card. The card holder should be the one who collects the ticket(s), providing identification and presenting the card. If you choose to collect your ticket (s) at Iberia offices or at your travel agency and wish to change the ticket type to (electronic ticket), or want us to send them to your chosen address, you can contact us at your Reservations Centre: 902 400 500 Collect at Iberia Offices (outside of Spain) : some countries have no more than the flight information option or only allow you to collect your ticket, once reserved over the Internet, at Iberia Offices in your country. |
Can the final tariff change depending on whether I choose the reservation or purchase option? | The tariff will change depending on the way the ticket is finally issued. When you make a reservation via Iberia.com, the price that is shown includes airport taxes, but ticketing fees are not shown, as this will depend on the chosen delivery option. Please remember that if you choose the reservation option, the reservation will be held for 48 hours, during which they can be purchased at any time by visiting the home page and selecting " Check your reservation>" . If you prefer you can buy your ticket (s) at any Iberia office or Travel Agency. If you choose this latter option, every agency will apply its own table of ticketing fees. If this period expires without confirming the purchase, the reservation will be cancelled without any charge being made to your card. If you select the messenger delivery option, bear in mind that door-to-door delivery may incur an additional delivery fee, depending on the country from which the reservation is made (although several tickets can be included in a single delivery, with just one fee charged). To have the tickets delivered to an address, the person who receives the tickets will need to sign the delivery confirmation note. If you decide to buy the ticket, the issuing of the ticket (s) and charging to your card are performed automatically. |
If I'm interested in an offer, how can I take advantage of it? | You have several ways of accessing that information. From any section or text where you see the word " special offers ", you can access the catalog of special offers that we have for you. Once you reach this screen you will have to check the availability of seats for your departure and destination, the dates you selected and the number of people travelling, read the conditions of the special offers and finally make a reservation. Selecting the option " I'm flexible about dates ". In this way, so long as there are special offer seats available for these flights and on these dates, the computer will show you the information and you will simply have to continue with the purchase process Similarly, if you click on the tab marked " RESERVATIONS ", you can perform a search for flights, selecting the same options that you selected from the home page, in the search engine, or entering using the left-hand menu panel you now see, where you can select " Flight Offers ". This will take you to the page containing the catalog of special offers. |
Why is it that such different fares can apply on a single flight? What factors are responsible? | The fares that apply depend on supply and demand at any given moment. There are many circumstances that cause differences between one fare and another, not just the availability of seats for a specific period or flight, but also the conditions under which they're purchased, the length of stay, or the policy regarding changes to flights and refunds. In general, fare tariffs are divided into two broad groups or families, "tariffs without restrictions" and " tariffs where restrictions apply ". The latter category is subdivided depending on several factors such as: whether changes/refunds are allowed upon payment of a penalty or not at all, whether they must be reserved or bought a certain length of time before travel, whether they require a minimum or maximum length of stay at the destination, whether the trip is undertaken in one season or another, and the departure/destination point of the reservation. |
What does it mean when restrictions apply to the tariff shown, or if there are no restrictions? | When we speak of tariffs where restrictions apply we mean all those that have some type of limitation in the conditions that apply, that could refer to changes or refunds. Normally these are the lowest fares. The tariffs without restrictions would be all those that allow changes and refunds. These are the " full economy tariffs " and the " full Business Class tariffs ". Most of the tariffs where restrictions apply DO NOT ALLOW refunds, returns or changes, or else there are associated fees for administrative services. |
Is there any discount for the disabled? | No discount rates are considered for people with some form of disability. However, our website contains very good price offers, depending on the dates of the flights and their availability. |
What does Class stand for in a ticket? | The booking class for each flight corresponds to a letter. This system of classes is the standard one used throughout the airline industry. It means that fares have different conditions in terms of reimbursements, cancellations, etc., and they relate directly to the amount paid for the ticket and the space available in each class on different flights. The allocation of letters by Business and Tourist cabin depends on the route. The following is an example of how classes are distributed on an aircraft: J , C , A : Business without restrictions D , I : Business with restrictions U : Business Avios Y : Tourist without restrictions B , H , K , M , L , V , S , N , P , Q , O : Tourist with restrictions W : Tour Operators G : Groups W : Special agreements T , X : Tourist Avios |
Is there any discount for the over 65s? | No discount rates are considered for the over 65s. However, our website contains very good price offers, depending on the dates of the flights and their availability. |
Are there any differences between child and adult tariffs? | Yes, but they will vary depending on the departure/destination point and the tariffs that were applied, although as a general rule we can say that: Children older than two years and younger than twelve years of age at the moment the flights depart ( child ) travel paying 50% of the fare on domestic flights (flights within Spain) with full tariff (i.e. without restrictions). If this minor (baby or infant), is to reach his/her second birthday before the end of the journey, you will have to purchase a child fare ticket for the entire journey. Children that still have not reached two years of age at the moment the flights depart ( infant ) and that don't occupy a seat pay 10% of the adult fare . These passengers may only travel with an adult. If you want a child under two years of age ( infant ) to travel occupying a seat, the child will pay the tariff for children between 2 and 11 years of age ( child ), and will have to bring an approved child seat to travel in. In addition, if an adult travels with two babies ( infant ), one will pay the corresponding ( infant ) tariff, travelling on the adult passenger's lap, but the second baby will pay the tariff for children between 2 and 11 years of age ( child ), as they occupy a seat (they must bring an approved child seat to travel in). For reduced tariffs a percentage will be applied that will depend on the tariff chosen. On international flights this percentage rate will vary depending on the destination and the tariff applied. For some special offers no discount will be applied. |
Must I always pay ticketing fees? | All passengers, including minors and babies, incur fees for ticket issue, which are applied according to the departure-destination and the chosen delivery option or type of ticket issued. The fees to be paid will vary depending on these factors. The ticketing fees for each ticket bought at www.iberia.com for any class of tariff will be charged by Iberia in accordance with the following table*: Table of administrative fees at Iberia.com Remember that refunds incur an administrative fee, which varies depending on the global location. Ticketing fees are not refundable. Itinerary changes also incur an administrative fee, which also varies according to the country. Table of administrative fees for services |

I bought a Nextec combo very soon after they were introduced. This light came in a set with a drill and reciprocating saw. The saw and the drill are fine, but the light is junk. I used the light for weekend auto repair work and after about a year some of the LEDs started to flicker and eventually they went out. This happened in pairs, and over a period of time most of the LEDs burned out. This is simply inexcusable and is an example of the poor quality tools that Sears is now selling.
North Royalton, OH
These lights and all the other devices work great. Love the size and the battery life is wonder full. The light is bright and flexible. I have one on every floor of my house. they run forever. Go get one. or two..

The SPEAKER announced the special order being the consideraton of Mr. Meredith's bill [H. R. 189] to establish a Female Hospital, and providing for the organization and government thereof, which was read the second time.
Mr. MEREDITH said this bill is to reform the present system of caring for the female insane by taking them out of the control men and putting them into the hands of women. This principle has been adopted in Pennsylvania, Iowa and Massachusetts, and it has worked well. In all these Institutions they have female physicians to treat the insane. Women are a great deal better adapted to treat and care for women--women being more sympathetic and peculiarly adapted to take care of the sick, and better informed as to the peculiar diseases with which her sex is afflicted. The inmates fare much better and are more successfully treated.
Mr. HAMILTON favored a measure of this kind, and thought the department ought to be under the care of women so far as possible.
The bill was ordered engrossed.

dav Fabric Rainboots
rain boots
I bought these boots for a trip to Paris and absolutely love them - they were inexpensive, manmade material and look very dressy and upscale - I got the style with the chains around the ankles and this is so cute! Boots are not bulkly square toed rain gear but slim lined. I am short 5'2" and they do come up to my knees but are not uncomfortable sitting. Love them!
October 17, 2013
loved the look But
loved the look; BUT --- the name tag on the outside of
the boots are put on with tacs covered with tabs inside that don't stay on and then the tac snags cloths or stockings, sad design flaw because it makes the boot unwearable and Travelsmith doesn't have an easy fix so you have to send the boots back.

Must Have
I love these rain boots! First of all they don't look like rain boots so I could wear them anytime on my trip to Ireland. I got so many compliments that I think I have sold about 5 more pair to friends. Would highly recommend them,
October 2, 2013
Item was not as pictured. I ordered the black python, which in the images in the catalogue and online, was simple, plain, unadorned. The pair I received have silver-tone metal brand plaques on the outside top of the shaft. The edges near the soles and the surfaces of the shafts on both boots were also scuffed and discolored. As far as being easily packable, I find the boots to be too heavy to even think about trying to roll up into the sack provided to put in a suitcase. That said, I like the look and fit, and am contemplating return for replacement, but I am doubtful that another pair will be w/o the plaques, and in any better condition. Packaging was damaged - leading me to believe these boots may already have made at least one round-trip between Travelsmith and another buyer. Still a handsome boot, and I would recommend to a friend.

These are cute for the price
They do run a bit narrow, but not terribly so. I got the ones with buckles, and it's very stylish. They are a bit high, so might be a nuisance when sitting down. (I'm 5'6"). You can remove the buckle strap, so it's versatile.
October 1, 2012
rain rain go away
Very stylish rain boots. A little tall and not exactly the fabric you would expect out of rainboots, but they are super cute and effective!
June 4, 2013
I bought the black ones with the chains around the ankle. I am 5'6 and the top of the boot is right at the edge of the bottom of my kneecap. I would prefer it to be an inch shorter. This boot probably works better on taller girls. I like the quality and design of the boot. I would be interested in seeing more from this brand.

Great Rain Boots
Wore them today -- excellent product and great for banishing all fear of deep puddles. I highly recommend them.

Cassie had to go a few months ago, but she's returned to help give Raw Charge readers a big-picture view of what's going on in the NHL.
In a very round-about way, this is a Syracuse Crunch / Oklahoma City Barons contest that the hockey world missed out on during the lockout. A talented young roster versus a talented young roster... Both sprinkled with noteworthy veterans.
All right, we've been putting up with each other for some time now... At this point, let]s get to know who we are putting up with so we can tolerate each other, know each other, revel with each other, and just have a little closer a community.
Smith impresses. Julien is rotating players in the roster. Johnson in net Weds? Chara heals, Caron sits? Godspeed "Snowshoes" Stanley. Miller's mental game. Noted NHLers felled by concussion. Dryden on his day with the cup. The "loser point" effect.
Miller, Bs in VT. Krejci gets "A." Söderberg out, Caron in v. Bolts. Chara behind the mask. Shot blocking primer. JetBlue partners with Bruins, hosts Bs fans TODAY. St. Louis named Bolts captain. Get well, Parros! Help for Lac-Mégantic. Lupul tweet.
The popular phrase / hashtag for Lightning and Crunch fans can now be found in three different color schemes for three different shirts.
Bruins vs. Leafs in round #1. Press the reset button. Shore, Dufresne, Bucyk award winners announced. Daugavins lauded. Lucic, Seguin under microscope. What will lineup be? Kudos to Garden Bull Gang. An NHL off-ice official's day. Meet Khudobin.
Yeah, we have our own channel on YouTube now. Can't promise a ton of video content but I can say we're on YouTube now.
The Lightning have not won three games in a row since the first month of the season. They'll try for the feat tonight against the cellar-dwelling Florida Panthers.

Seeing as there are a lot of matriculants on the forum and many of us will probably be going to some university in the next month and a half, I thought that maybe a thread about general varsity life could be useful/interesting.
So lets see who's going where and studying what.
I'm staying in res at Tuks and studying a Bcom Business Management. I'm still not sure if a Bcom is the route I want to go but I'll change if I don't like or find something far more interesting.
For those who have stayed in res sometime over the past few years, would you say that you enjoyed the experience and was it worth it beyond the convenience of being very close to the campus?

All Dolled Up
Young girls strut dolls and outfits for annual American Girl Fashion Show
I have been lambasted recently from a friend who saw an embarrassing junior high photo of me. At least I can say that at age 13, I acted like a 13-year old. And I dressed like a 13-year old girl in jeans, sneakers and horrible graphic T-shirts that were popular in the mid 1990s--just like a kid.
Now, it seems girls act and dress like a 13-year-old at age 7. That's why it's so refreshing to have a local event that lets elementary school-aged girls act and dress like kids. And this one also happens to give back to the community.
This is the sixth year the Junior League of Tulsa has hosted the American Girl Fashion Show. Each year, the event features local, school-aged girls walking down the runway with an American Girl doll. Each girl's outfit is replicated to match the outfit her doll wears. Katherine Haskell, Strategic Marketing Chair for the Junior League of Tulsa, said the event gives the young girls great values and also helps them learn.
American Girl's output now includes magazines and self help books and movies, but the company is best known for its historical books and its dolls. Beginning in 1986, the company began creating a series of books, each based on a character from a certain time period in American history. Both the girls of the books and nearly every detail from their stories were then made into dolls and accessories--from Kaya "an adventurous Nez Perce girl growing up in 1764" to Addy "a courageous girl determined to be free in 1864" to Molly "a child of World War II."
The company eventually expanded the doll collection outside of the historical characters to include a doll that would appeal to any and every girl. And, apparently, it's appealed to many young girls, as 16 million dolls have been sold since 1986.
Nationally, the Junior League has put on many American Girl Fashion Shows. Rachael Hunsucker, president of the Junior League said, "The American Girl doll series reflects much of America's past and present culture and girls' developing personalities. This show helps teach history and individual expression to viewers while engendering self-confidence and poise in the models and narrators."
Members of the Junior League of Tulsa speak eloquently when discussing how the concepts behind American Girl translate into an ideal fundraiser for the organization. Sarah Dougherty, the Junior League of Tulsa's Community Council Vice President said, "We feel American Girl is the perfect fit for us as a fundraiser because we all want to empower girls to become the community leaders of tomorrow."
So how does the event do that and raise funds for the Junior League of Tulsa's community projects? Well, the event kicks off Friday, Nov. 6 at the Junior League of Tulsa's headquarters. The entire weekend's events take place at the facilities at 3633 S. Yale.
The opening night Patron Party features the first fashion show of the weekend. Participants of the dinner will also have a three-course dinner, drinks and receive a goody bag. The night features a silent auction, where bidders can try for American Girl items like the new historical doll, Rebecca, a girl growing up in 1914, or try for the Kirsten doll, one of the first dolls launched in 1986 that the company is discontinuing. The night also boasts of an unannounced special guest who will be in attendance.
During the next two days of events, there will be another five fashion shows on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 10am, 1pm and 4pm and then on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 1pm and 4pm. Each fashion show is also a tea party for the guests. A local broadcaster emcees every show, and the list includes personalities such as Karen Larsen, Julie Chin, Erin Christy, Cindy Morrison, Kristin Dickerson and Latoya Silmon.
The weekend also features a total of 150 elementary school-aged girls walking the runway. Local junior high and high school girls narrate the runway. These older girls also provide information about the dolls' character, personality and her life in her historical context. In this way, Haskell said, the show not only showcases the dolls, but is informative both culturally and historically.
For the girls modeling and narrating, the event provides an opportunity to learn real skills. Haskell said the models are taught poise, self-control and confidence, while the narrators hone their public speaking skills. And the fashion--both the historical and the contemporary looks--are appropriate, not the looks of girls looking too old too soon.
Haskell said the event brings in more than just friends and family members of the young ladies participating in either the narration or modeling. She said the family friendly event is popular amongst people who are interested in the dolls and want to pick up more accessories. Since the dolls and accessories are not available in any store locally, people who attend the fashion show get an option to see the dolls up close and in person.
Although people who attend won't be able to purchase the dolls themselves, American Girl doll accessories are for sale. The event features souvenir T-shirts available in sizes for girls and their dolls. Haskell said the shirts were so popular during the rehearsals for the models, they sold out and have already been re-ordered.
There will also be a raffle; and those who purchase a raffle ticket could potentially win the chance to model. Three girls at each show will be selected from the raffle and get to participate in the fashion show. Even if she doesn't become a model, each young girl leaves the event with an American Girl goody bag.
Haskell said one of the fun aspects of this year's event is the Doll Salon. Girls who bring their American Girl dolls can receive a brand new look by one of Iidentity Salon's (3749 S. Peoria) professional stylists. While this doll pampering is available in American Girl stores, Haskell said this is the first time this kind of service has been provided in Tulsa.
While the Doll Salon service is not complimentary, proceeds, like those from the raffle and the rest of the weekend's events, go toward the Junior League of Tulsa, which in turn filters those funds back into the community through their projects.
The Junior League of Tulsa is "a nonprofit organization committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities through effective action and leadership of trained volunteers." A few of the Junior League of Tulsa's projects who will benefit from the American Girl Fashion Show include the Children's Hospital at St. Francis Family Resource Center, the Laura Dester Children's Shelter, Resonance Women's Center and Global Gardens.
Tickets for Friday night's Patron Party are $50. Tickets to any of the fashion shows are $35 for the Premium seating and $30 for other seating. Haskell said the Premium seating is in conjunction to the catwalk as the photographers are at a fashion show in Bryant Park, but she said that all the seats offer a great view of the show.
Tickets can be purchased through the Junior League of Tulsa Web site HYPERLINK "http://www.jltulsa.org"; www.jltulsa.org (where you can also learn more about the organization) or you can call 663-6100. Haskell said that all but one show sold out in advance at last year's American Girl Fashion Show, so tickets might not be available at the door.
The American Girl Fashion Show promises to be a fun experience for a young girl or a woman young at heart.

Torrent support could definitely be integrated, but for now we want to focus on the stuff we have created.
I'll try to wrap up some things this weekend so we can provide a download next week. Bare in mind that this is the first time we programmed something in Python, so it's a learning process for us too |

This looks interesting.
It asks for authentication, but I can't find where to set login information. A userdata folder was created upon starting the htpc.exe but it's empty. According to the log file the webserver was started on port 8084. Is it possible to change it? |

The bestselling success book of all time is updated and revised with contemporary ideas and examples.
Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself. The most famous of all teachers of success spent "a fortune and the better part of a lifetime of effort" to produce the "Law of Success" philosophy that forms the basis of his books and that is so powerfully summarized in this one. |

| Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) Thought this was worth reading: Why We Need Big, Bold Science Fiction (Popular Mechanics). I started to post this in the SFF Lounge but then noticed the follow-on article which lists what the author thinks are 12 Bold, Optimistic Science Fiction Books. |

The Enigma of Steel | Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) I got as far as the third sentence in the second paragraph before I saw the truth of what the article was going to say. 50 years ago I was optimistic about the future and inspired by the world of the future presented by by authors like Asimov and Heilein. We were going to see flying cans and trips to Mars and robot butlers and heaven knows what else. When Gene Roddenberry presented his vision of the future a few years later it fit right in. Many of the advances predicted by Star Trek and the visions of the authors came true. I have my Star Fleet Communicator in the pocket of my bathrobe right now as I sit at my computer. My PADD (tablet) is in the other room. I work in a steel mill that has an incredible amount of automation but noone is going to Mars this week and there is not trip to Alpha Centari planned for next week or even next year. We are now a money driven culture. We have neither patience nor direction. We like to whine (see comments at the end of any internet new article) and we like to brag and gossip( see Facebook). We do need the direction and inspiration of the great Science Fiction writers (or we need new ones to step up) No wonder I read so many old books. Once we had hope. |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) I kind of see that in my classes, everytime the subject of a new and a bit controversial theme comes everyone want to point out the possible bad outcomes and don't think about the positive things that can come out of this. |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) That was interesting and there's little there to disagree with yet I had a kind of ironic reaction to it, in part. I don't suppose I can say it without offense to Tyson but that's not my objective. I'm just struck by how the 70s had Sagan and these days have Tyson. Kinda like a milder Cronkite to Couric arc. But thanks for passing it on. Quote:
Interesting. There's actually nothing wrong with that to an extent - classic SF has its share of extreme dystopias and being able to have "negative foresight" is an extremely valuable skill to have. But it definitely needs to be counterbalanced with utopian (or, better, simply optimistic and progressive) visions and with positive foresight. | |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) Was anyone else severely disappointed with the list of Bold SF novels that we should all be emulating? I'd really like to work up a list of recent novels that are just as bold as (and maybe bolder than) those. |

Good article when its about the kind of dark SF they write today and the more positive science ficton books of yesterday. I can miss books that was about new breakthroughs, new science,new ideas. | |

I've recently read some good articles criticizing the insular nature of SF. Which argues that a lot of SF requires you to have read other works beforehand to understand the ideas presented. This is pointed to as a reason that SF isn't gaining a young readship. I believe we had a topic some months ago where someone brought out some figures comparing the number of magazines and anthologies that published SF short stories in the golden age and nowadays. Which is another thing to bear in mind. All of this stuff just makes me want to do something but I don't know what to do. | |

While there is a collapse of a Galactic Empire involved, the idea of recovering and recovering more quickly seems reasonably optimistic to me and The Foundation Trilogy is even bigger and bolder than I, Robot. Can't really argue with Have Spacesuit -- Will Travel but, while it doesn't suck, I'd replace Rocket Ship Galileo with Starman Jones or something. I think Permutation City is great but Diaspora is much bolder. For Varley, his Eight Worlds stories would be hard to top (though I haven't read his recent neo-Heinleinian YAs). And Vinge's Zones are much bigger and bolder than Rainbow's End. Even despite an apocalyptic war, you could make a case for The Peace War books overall. Some of the old space opera like Campbell's The Black Star Passes and Doc Smith's Skylark/Lensman stuff are radically bold and optimistic. Some of van Vogt's supermen would fall under this. Most Campbellian era/style SF is bold and optimistic. Poul Anderson often falls down on the "optimistic" part but, IIRC, Brain Wave and Tau Zero would pass and are certainly bold. Clarke's The Deep Range is downright utopian and much of his work (though definitely not all) fits. Forward's Dragon's Egg (aka Rocheworld) and Flight of the Dragonfly and Sheffield's Between the Strokes of Night (small detail of an apocalyptic nuclear war notwithstanding) are almost exactly what I think of when I think we need bold optimistic SF. Man, oh man, do we need more of that. I recently read Haldeman's Marsbound. It's not necessarily an all-time classic or anything, but it's a lot of fun and certainly bold and, so far, optimistic. That's one of the few truly recent examples I can think of but, along with the Varley mentioned and some Bear, maybe, there has been a mini-renaissance of neo-Heinleinian YAs. I just wonder why there seems to be a partial equation of "optimism" with "YA". Is it immature and insufficiently cynical and literary to be (or wish to be) optimistic? Also, most (definitely not all) of these authors are into the harder SF and many have libertarian tendencies. Whereas softer SF people and people on the rest of the political spectrum (from a US perspective) tend to be more depressed and focus on the smaller things. If that would derail the conversation, ignore it, but it occurs to me. But more bold, optimistic examples would definitely be welcome. | |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) Okay, so I looked up the articles I mentioned earlier. The first is a SF Signal post by Jason Sanford, in which he wonders why younger readers aren't getting access to more YA SF. http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/201...ction-readers/ The second is a linked article. http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/201...tion_has_gone/ and a couple of responses . . . http://elflands2ndcousin.com/2012/03...ance-of-ya-sf/ http://nerdredefined.wordpress.com/2...ction-readers/ It all makes for fascinating reading. |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) [Sorry about the length - that just got me on a roll and I didn't realize it. Feel free to skip but, what the heck - I'm posting it. ] "But what's interesting is that while the general public loves science fiction films, a corresponding love for science fiction literature isn't seen." And the general public loves films but a corresponding love for literature isn't seen. I don't buy the insularity argument at all. "All of these are valid points, although a strong case can be made that these descriptions of an insular SF fandom are not as valid as they were a generation ago." And SF is not as popular as it was a generation ago. Via false but instructive syllogism, we get "Insularity makes SF popular" or the opposite of the suggestion. "Many of today's science fiction novels require a certain level of SF literacy before you can read them." I think that's selling kids short. I started to say that certain things, like Ian McDonald's "The Tear", might qualify as being too abstruse but I doubt even that's true. It's the very whacked out weirdness of SF that a young pliable mind is drawn to and has no trouble with. No, he won't get the references but that's the sort of game old people play anyway. If he's born to be an SF fan, he'll get the gist. It's this, rather than any insult about maturity, that makes 12 the Golden Age of SF. I think a key element of why you need to snag readers young is that it's probably true that "readers fear difficult or challenging material" - as they get older. You need the plasticity and open-mindedness of childlike wonder. That's why "great" literature is seen as "mature" - it generally deals with people in contemporary or historical circumstances. People tell themselves that wrestling with some Protean work of fiction to squeeze a theme out of it is difficult or challenging but I don't know. But regarding needing to specifically tailor SF to a YA audience, I tend to doubt it. Most every SF author has turned their hands to YA SF but really only Heinlein and Norton had both great success at YA as a major component of their work, yet also had great success otherwise. Isaac Asimov wrote a set and Arthur C. Clarke wrote one or two (none all that hugely epoch making) and van Vogt officially wrote none, yet they were major authors who sold zillions of books and had legions of fans. Speaking for myself, two of my earliest books were indeed Starman Jones and Islands in the Sky and I loved the latter and liked the former but another two were Norman Spinrad's The Last Hurrah of the Golden Horde and Judith Merrill's Best of the Best. And I loved the former and liked the latter - and they are anything but YA and anything but "easy". I actually pointedly avoided YAs when I was a teen because that was "kid's stuff" and we all know how "grown up" kids are. It's only relatively recently that I've actually read a number of YAs. Speaking of, I don't know if the author of the second article wanted only recent examples to compare to his own work but Islands in the Sky sounds exactly like what he was looking for in general. The third guy comes close to pissing me off. In dismissing Heinlein, he says "They want good storytelling, tight prose, and most importantly, engaging characterization." Um. Still waiting for something in that that Heinlein isn't all about. And I suppose if the 1950s are irrelevant you'll just never get them to read Robert Louis Stevenson, either, right? Because the 18th century (internally) or 19th century (externally) is 3-5 times as irrelevant, right? "If we want kids and teenagers to read science fiction, we need to put the story and characters first and the science second. Because what kids care about today is the story, and not the science." Then what the hell's the point of their reading SF at all? We had to destroy the literature to save it. "Science is transparent to kids: they live in a world where digital information surrounds them. They can play an immersive three-dimensional multi-actor game before they ever go to school. The hard science that it takes to make these playthings work is uninteresting: it is taken for granted, just as is the air we breathe." Yeah, because in the 50s TVs grew on trees and jet planes sprouted out of the ground. It's ridiculous that we act like people lived in caves in the 50s and only now have we instantly invented technology. Kids in the 50s grew up immersed in their technology, too. And if the hard science that make these "playthings" like MRI machines and the latest wonder pills work is uninteresting and taken for granted and we put the science second to reinforce any such notion, I hope they enjoy the complete absence of video games and MRIs in the future when everyone's too ignorant to repair, create, or improve anything. Ahem. But, that aside, I think that sort of gets onto the main issue. We do need bold and optimistic SF and SF may be largely weakening in that regard, but I think any problems the field of SF has with popularity is just a reflection of a general societal failure regarding the hope and optimism and technology of the Space Age vs. the relative lack of it in the "Information Age". Society puts science second. Why should SF thrive in that environment? But that's no call for SF to give up, but rather to fight harder. |

dark and stormy knight | Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) Do we really need another list? Just go out and pick 12 books that look good and give 'em a try. If there are some you don't like, pick out a few more. Thrift stores and yard sales ought to keep one busy for awhile without disintegrating one's wallet. |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) One of my problems with some older SF is that some books assume that certain problems will just go away. "Religion is silly superstition so people don't do that in the future. Nations are backward and cause wars so we don't have those either. Government is competent and incorruptible because all the crooks have been replaced by computers, robots or the like..." The problem with this for me is that humans without the religious/spiritual urge, or the sense of nationality/patriotism, or the conflicting morals that come from temptation, are less interesting. Take it far enough any you've got a very optimistic story with chess pieces for characters. I wonder whether it's a coincidence that Dune has such strong characters and recognises that civilisation can regress as well as progress. That isn't to say that SF ought to be dystopian. I can't see why you couldn't have a very optimistic book about, say, a future society proving itself to be superior to a cult, or nations coming together behind a space programme - an inspiring story of humanity rising above its baser urges. |

| Re: Bigger, Bolder, Faster, More! (SF/SF books) Kinda funny. Thinking about Sagan to Tyson had me fire up the ol' U-tube and watch Sagan's exposition of the Drake equation and, amidst my serious enjoyment, I also had to laugh. More symbolism. Where Tyson vocally tries to take a planet away, Sagan gives us an extra one just in case. Also, the time was more optimistic in that his value for n-sub-e (2) is almost certainly too high. But since we're dealing with huge numbers and wild approximations and that's not the trickiest one, it's okay. And that led me to the entire first episode of Burke's Connections which seemed apropos to the "King of Elfland's Second Cousin". The entire thing is obviously, of course, well worth watching but the key parts I'd play for "Chris" from the first 10 minute chunk are 0:45 to about 2:00 on "they're there" and, while the NY preface of 2:40-5:20 is fascinating (and snippets are a bit painful), the true beginning is at 5:20 and the key line is at 6:13. These shows were made in 1978 and the initial story is set in 1965 - the latter not too far from the 50s. Look at those primitives running around in their loincloths without a trace of ubiquitous technology. Such primitive times are "irrelevant" to our modern era. Anyway - I think I'm done with that now. Regardless of that issue, like I say, the Sagan and Burke stuff (as different as they are) are worth watching by anyone for any reason. Quote:

The University of Newcastle's Central Coast campus is celebrating the start of the 2012 academic year by throwing open the doors of its $3.2 million library redevelopment today.
The project is the final stage of a two-year $20 million expansion of the Central Coast campus and will provide additional study and learning facilities to service the growing student population on the Central Coast. Over the past five years university enrolments on the Central Coast have increased by 40 per cent to 4,300 in 2011.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Caroline McMillen, said the major expansion and upgrade of library services would deliver significant benefits to the Central Coast campus community.
"The investment in this project recognises the library's central role in supporting the academic endeavour of the university.
"The library expansion will help meet student demand for more learning and meeting spaces, including a 24-hour information common for students," Professor McMillen said.
Other features of the library extension include:
• Five new group study rooms with access to computers and screens
• Eighty-eight additional computers, printers and scanning facilities, and wireless and power connections for laptops and other devices
• A new service desk offering 24-hour support from library staff, and the student 'Rover' service that provides peer-assisted library and basic IT support
• A café, lounge, parents' room and outdoor meeting spaces
University of Newcastle Pro Vice-Chancellor Central Coast, Professor Stephen Crump, said the university was firmly committed to providing state-of-the-art education facilities for the booming Central Coast region.
"Visits to the Central Coast library have doubled in the past five years. This substantial upgrade to our library will provide students, staff and the community with the most innovative learning hubs on the coast."
The library extension follows the opening of the Exercise, Sports Science and Psychology building and the Education and Nursing building in November 2011.
The library upgrade was supported by the Australian Government's Better Universities Renewal Fund and the university.
The library extension will be opened on Wednesday 22 February at 10am at the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus, 10 Chittaway Rd Ourimbah. Media welcome.
