Phones 4u slips into administration after EE cuts ties with Brit mobe retailer
"The great service we have provided should have guaranteed a strong future"
Based on my personal experience (and completely unscientific sample of 1), this "great" service included mucking up the contract, sending me the wrong bills, etc. I left Phone 4 U as soon as I possibly could.
What could possibly go wrong? Banks could provide ID assurance for Gov.UK – report
To be fair, we may hate banks sometimes but I'd more readily trust my bank to provide secure identity services that any other organisation I regularly do business with. The way I understand the article, it would be a case of the bank offering a single sign-on service (e.g. OpenID / SAML) that government web sites can use to identify you: I would definitely use that sort of service rather than have to provide copies of bills and bank statements that can be accidentally forgotten on a train.
This is how I set about making a fortune with my own startup
Side projects
On a related note, those who want to start a side project and make it into a real business could do worse than reading this book: http://www.rachelandrew.co.uk/books/the-profitable-side-project
Anatomy of OpenSSL's Heartbleed: Just four bytes trigger horror bug
In theory this should never have happened because malloc should have thrown a wobbly at copying that memory. In practice, it appears that OpenSSL is using unconventional memory allocation logic: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/211963
I don't roll out my own crypto code because I am no cryptographer and I trust crypto specialists to do it right. So why can't crypto specialists trust the OS to do memory allocation correctly and let the kernel devs deal with that rather than try to roll their own?
@boltar this is C code.
Survey: Just 1 in 3 Euro biz slackers meets card security standards
Not perfect but still a good start
PCI-DSS is not perfect and won't prevent breaches. However, what is in the standard is not rocket science and is good general security practice. From a business perspective, it should be seen as the bare minimum you need to do in order to protect your customers' card data as part of a wider security policy.
For small businesses (and even large ones), the simplest way to handle it is to use a third party payment service provider to handle card data so that card data never even touches your systems. Some will even handle tokenisation which allows you to do recurring charges. And some will even provide fraud monitoring systems where you can configure the rules yourself. Of course there are still situations where you want to build your own solution because you have special requirements but the value of building your own compared to the risks of getting it wrong is diminishing fast.
Distributed systems boffins flock to RICON West
Re: Ideas to ask speakers
As ever, it's just after I click "Submit" that I spot all the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors... I need another coffee.
Ideas to ask speakers
It would be great if you could investigate a couple of interesting technologies and report back:
1. Basho have recently carved out riak-core out of Riak to provide a common platform to build distributed services and the DB has become an app on top of riak-core (also called Riak KV); they then released Riak CS which is a cloud storage system built on top of riak-core. It would interesting to know more about riak-core and what it can do. And of course Riak CS.
2. They are currently integrating SOLR into Riak to provide distributed search capabilities. That is definitely worth having a look at.
Thare, you go, that's at least 3 interesting articles you can come back with :-)

Analysts brawl over 'death' of markup language
I've had a look at XACML about a year ago in the context of a single sign-on solution based on SAML. It does make sense in this context because most products that support SAML tend to support some version or other of XACML. Having said that, if you are considering such technologies, it means you're talking to the likes of IBM, Oracle, CA, etc so whatever you do won't come cheap, which is fine if you are working for a large multi-national that requires all its software to have a blue or red badge on it and cost an arm and a leg.
Now, if you work for an SME, you're probably better off looking at OpenID and OAuth.

Open source port-a-thon brings Ubuntu to more phones, tablets
At least, when installed on a Galaxy Nexus, it can make phone calls and send SMS (and receive them) so it's not completely useless.
Regarding the port-a-thon, like every Linux distro, Ubuntu has a problem that it never gets tested on enough different hardware so getting it ported to as much hardware as possible is a sensible way to find issues early and fix them.
I for one am very interested to see how quickly they will get to something usable as I need a new phone :-)
Ubuntu Preview alpha arrives for fondleslabs and phones
Installed it last night
I flashed a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 last night with the preview. Phone and SMS work out of the box using a 3 PAYG SIM. Wifi works too. In terms of apps, the web browser, photo gallery, notes, contacts apps all work fine. All this means that it is very usable as a basic phone or for casual web browsing at home.
The porting guide got released today: http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/02/taking-ubuntu-touch-to-new-levels/ so I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing the preview on other devices sooner or later.
Bill Gates: 'Microsoft didn't MISS cell phone' bandwagon
Re: El Presidente
I'd rather they wasted £100M on RasPis that some kids may not use than several magnitudes more on failed government IT projects. If doing that gets even a small number of kids to be interested in computing and create their own tech start ups when they grow up, the return on investment will dwarf the waste. Kids are smart when given the right tools and support: http://youngrewiredstate.org/
Ubuntu's Shuttleworth embraces tablet terror: Our PC biz will survive, too
Re: Good Luck To Them
The desktop environment already exists today, it's Unity. The phone and tablet versions are just modified versions of Unity with different emphasis on different elements of the interface and the addition of touch gestures to replace the keyboard shortcuts of the desktop versions. In addition, the SDK they are producing introduces the concept of "grid unit" which allows the developer to size interface elements in a way that is device independant so that you end up with larger icons and touch targets on a touch-based device while having small icons and target like you're used to, in the desktop interface.
One very interesting aspect, that is not mentioned in the article, is that the developer SDK offers two ways to build apps: either HTML5 + JavaScript or native apps using QML. And as Shuttleworth says, the QML elements in the Ubuntu SDK are compatible with what BlackBerry are doing with BB10. You can't build an app that will work out of the box on both Ubuntu Phone and BB yet but the Ubuntu SDK has been demonstrated to work on BB10 and you can see how the two could converge if they keep talking to each other.
Bill Gates: Windows Phone strategy was 'a mistake'
True but being able to take advantage of your competitors' mistakes is part of good business management. To be a successful tech company you need both innovative products to build yourself a strong base and good management to be able to take advantage of opportunities (whether they be a result of your own strength or of weaknesses from competitiors).
In this sense Microsoft has had a business management team that was able to efficiently identify opportunities given to them and take advantage of them, even if they haven't been able to innovate themselves all that much (although they do occasionally, kinect being the best example).
As Microsoft are making mistakes in the smartphone market, it's down to others like BlackBerry, Mozilla or Ubuntu to take advantage of it: they need to take that chance as it may not come back any time soon!

Re: HTML5
Did you actually RTFA? They explicitly say you can either write HTML5 apps or native apps (using QML). So you can definitely run real apps. In practice you are not even limited to HTML5 and QML, you could write apps in any language that compiles on Linux and that you can package in a .deb (quite a few of them).

"release-before-current of Ubuntu"

Mint Linux gifts Unity haters with 'Nadia' ... plus her Mate
Amazon ads are not baked into the desktop. You have a shopping lens that sends your search query to Amazon and returns search results based on what you typed in the dash. It takes 2 clicks in the privacy settings to disable it and it's been packaged as a separate package so that you can completely remove the shopping lens without affecting anything else (search for shopping lens in the software center). If you don't trust Canonical, you're welcome to go have a look at the code, it's on Launchpad: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-shopping
If you don't like the way Ubuntu is going with Unity, that's absolutely fine. But please stop spreading FUD.

What happened to comics for kids? Hell, what happened to COMICS?
Re: Engaging comic-book-guy mode....
Indeed. Being French and having grown up with the Franco/Belgian type of comics, I was extremely disappointed when I moved to the UK. It all feels the same: action heros and violence, irrespective of the actual story line. As a kid, the excellent, clean artwork and great though simple story lines of Gaston Lagaffe, Boule et Bill, Asterix, Tintin, Buck Danny, Lucky Luke et al meant we just couldn't put the comics down. Then growing up, you get into more convoluted but enthralling stories like Les Passagers du Vent, the XIII series and dozens of others.
The problem with UK/US comics is that none of them are meant for a very young audience, they are way too heavy a read. By the time kids are old enough to read great works like AD2000 or Sandman, they've already been lost to Nintendo and other game consoles.
Import continental comics in the UK and maybe you can have kids interested in stories again.

Re: am I a luddite ?
I use my laptop to do real work (development, system admin, office tasks, accounting and a few other things) and I find that Unity is a lot better than GNOME 2 to help me get it done. But then we all have different ways of working and it may just be that my way of working fits Unity whle your way of working fits another environment. That doesn't make either good or bad.

Office 2013 to eat own file-format dog food
Re: real compatability!
Saving as PDF gimmicky? I beg to differ: I use it all the time for documents for which I am the only author but that I want customers to be able to open. Invoices for instance are a typical use case: I create they invoice, they read it (and hopefully pay me), PDF is ideal for that sort of use cases and LibreOffice produces flawless output.
Re: "Office Open XML"
> If I'm trying to sort out incompatability problems between versions of Office, the most important tool in my toolbox is LibreOffice.
Same here. And LibreOffice also allows me to open MS Works files and save then in MS Word, which MS Word itself can't do. Apologies for the shameless plug: http://brunogirin.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/libreoffice-to-rescue.html
Big biz 'struggling' to dump Windows XP
Re: Have your tried some wine with that?
Problem is that IE is usually one of a large number of applications installed but happens to be the one that prevents moving off WinXP. Moving to Linux doesn't solve it as all other apps then become a (potential) problem. It looks like Browsium already cracked that nut by in effect doing for Windows 7/8 what WINE does for Linux in terms of running old versions of IE.

Devs can't be bothered with Nokia's Windows Phone – report
Re: Duh!
Ah the fallacy of the easy re-compile! This is exactly the problem that Java has always had. Compiling and re-compiling an application for multiple platforms is the easy part (Java has no problem there, most Linux distros can compile on multiple architectures too).
The hard part in building an application that works on multiple form factors (desktop, tablet, phone, etc) is the UI and the interaction: you do not design an application for a desktop with a large screen and a mouse in the same way than you do for a tablet or mobile phone with a small touch screen.
So the risk is that you get a lot of devs building apps for W8 targetting the desktop; then they recompile for WP8 and realise that their app works but is a nightmare to use on a mobile phone or a tablet. At that point, they have to do the maths: is the WP8 platform big enough that it justifies spending time and money adapting the UI for those form factors? Or are they better off keeping the money and concentrating on other W8 desktop apps? The answer will differ depending on the application's target market.
If multi-form-factor support was as easy as a recompile, Java would have won the day a long time ago. the fact that it hasn't is a hint that recopiling is not the only (or even the most important) issue.
'Printed boat' places second in novelty race
@Peter Ford
The novelty is not in using melted milk carton plastic to build or repair things, the novely is in doing this with a 3D printer (presumably controlled by a computer from a 3D model). So to use your analogy what they've done here is take a 3D model of your kayak and create a real kayak from scratch using milk cartons and a printer.

HP open sources WebOS TouchPad tablet GUI

Even if webOS is technically dead, that's a step in the right direction and I hope they will eventually release enough so that you can run webOS applications on other platforms such as Android or Ubuntu. There are a lot of cool apps in the webOS app store and it'd be great to be able to give them a second lease of life.
Acer bigwig sees gloomy future for Ultrabooks in Europe
Re: Finally, they get it
The screen on my 13" Lenovo X1 as well as on the 13" MacBook Air are very nice and definitely on a par with 15" laptops with the advantage compared to a netbook that they have full size keyboards so I don't think this is the whole story.
The slim and light 13" form factor definitely has a market between the 15" laptop and 11" netbook but is certainly not for everyone: the great portability combined with high end specs (and high price) is only justifiable to a small minority of users but those who need that combination and are happy to pay the price now have great products to choose from. So planning 30% penetration in the first year for a product that is targetting a fairly narrow market was very optimistic at best, especially when the first models are rather expensive and being sold during a less than perfect economic climate.
I, for one, am very happy to have a laptop that is light and small enough that I can take it everywhere I need to while being able to run Eclipse and a couple of VirtualBox VMs concurrently or do photo editing on it but I also realise that the market segment I represent is a small minority and certainly not 30% of the laptop market.
My advice to those companies would be: release products with the same form factor but more average specs so that you can extend your market to potential users who like the concept but can't justify spending a grand on a laptop.
Chess algorithm written by Alan Turing goes up against Kasparov
Re: "Ever heard of pseudocode?"
"Has anyone actually ever used pseudocode, outside of 'intro to programming' type courses?"
Yes, all the time. It's often simpler to write a few lines of pseudo-code to explain to our offshore build team what we're expecting them to do than draw a complex diagram or wax lyrical for several pages. Plus pseudo-code is easy to include in a text only email and not having all the weird punctuation means it's easy for business analysts to understand and validate it.
As to whether it would be quicker to write the code directly, sometimes yes, sometimes no. In particular, when writing pseudo code I can gloss over details like import statements, class/function declaration, etc.
Python wraps its coils around the enterprise
Python vs PHP in the enterprise
To understand why Python is making headways into the enterprise more than PHP is, you need to understand where and how python is used.
First things first, when it comes to internet facing mission critical systems, rightly or wrongly there are only two games in town as far as enterprises are concerned: Java/JEE and .NET. When it comes to mission critical back-end systems, it's the same story with the addition of mainframes. Python and PHP are not displacing those and will probably not do so for several more years.
Python and PHP are being used in other areas that are not mission critical for the enterprise and certainly nothing that is internet facing. And this is where python has an advantage over PHP: PHP is seen primarilly as a language to build web sites so if it's not going to displace the incumbents in that space, it doesn't have many more places to go. On the other hand, python is seen more as shell scripting on steroids than as a web language and it comes pre-installed on the hundreds of Unix / Linux boxes that live in a typical large enterprise network. As a result, I see python used extensively to automate sys admin / operational tasks, such as building deployment scripts for JEE applications, parsing logs, etc. Once it's being used within a company, it's a small step to use it more extensively.
Linux Mint joins mini-PC hardware business
TFA says "Linux Mint is pitching the devices at corporates, the education sector, and internet cafes."
For that target market, the announced price seems reasonable and the hardware seems to be fit for the job: you don't need 1080p video for corporates, education or internet cafes but you do need good network connectivity, which those boxes seem to have. I for one am happy to see computers aimed at business users with a version of Linux pre-installed and I wish them the best of luck.
Now I can see the bragging around the water cooler: I got a *ribbed* Mint box, what did *you* get?
Windows 8: Not even Microsoft thinks businesses will use it
Re: Took a leaf out of Ubuntu's book, methinks
I use Unity every day and I actually like it, a lot more than I ever liked Gnome 2.
At least Ubuntu have done two things that MS don't seem to do: 1) they've made the whole Unity implementation consistent rather than the schizophrenic W8 behaviour described here and 2) they're not preventing you from installing Gnome Shell or any other window manager: you can still chose to run something else, it's all in the repositories.
Lard-busting specs trick snack-happy Japanese
That's the principle behind the French "Frisee aux lardons": nice frizzy salad leaves (retains the dressing a lot better than classic lettuce) sprinkled with pieces of fried lardons (cubes of bacon). You eat mostly greens but it all tastes of nice fried bacon. And you can even use a fairly lean bacon, it will still taste great. Some recipes add a boiled egg too.
That's a typical French country dish that is great as a quick summer meal: it is easy to make, tastes great, uses cheap ingredients and takes 5 minutes to put together. It's just not good for a posh meal because of the risk of ending up with salad dressing all over you: frisee laden with dressing is about as dangerous as spaghetti with tomato sauce in that regard.

Re: matt assay - another fail
The price of licenses for the suite of Rational tools, LotusNotes, AIX, the multiple WebSphere products, etc suggests otherwise.
IBM makes money from service, hardware and software sales. Each of those is used as a channel for the other two: you got in the door selling services? Sell them hardware and software too! You go in the door selling a single license of WebSphere App Server? Sell them services to learn how to use it, some hardware to run it on and a few copies of Rational Software Architect to build stuff on it!
IBM is a complex beast and has a business model that is a lot more complex than "oh they just sell services". Software may not make up the biggest part of their revenue but it is still essential to the way they operate: a lot of smaller companies and individuals deal with IBM for the first time through software either directly or indirectly. And in that space open source is essential to them: the vast majority of Java / JEE developers get their first view of IBM by using Eclipse. Some will stay on the open source product, others will move to the Rational suite and become bona fide customers.
So the comparison with IBM is not that far fetched.
HP ships hack-friendly all-in-one
Linux: Q2 2012
As usual, you have to read the small print: the Linux options are nowhere to be seen when you go to the shopping site and the reason is to be found in the notes on the detailed tech specs: "Linux available 2nd calendar quarter 2012 (CQ2'12)"
Having said this, it looks like a very nice machine for its target audience. Granted, it's got the same downside as any other all-in-one in the sense that the screen is non-replaceable but for customers for whom desk space is at a premium and who would otherwise be tempted by an iMac, it looks like a good alternative. A good compromise between a desktop/tower design and other all-in-one designs methinks.
For those saying "it's not as upgradable as X" or "not as cheap as Y" or "not as slick looking as Z", you are probably right. Just remember that very few people have a single requirement in mind when buying a computer so a design that provides a good compromise between several conflicting requirements is usually a winner.
Finally, it's an HP. Good news for some, bad news for others. My (limited) experience with HP hardware is that their consumer stuff is crap while their business/professional offering is a bit dull but is solid and works very well.
Interesting toy anyway!
Lesser-spotted Raspberry Pi FINALLY dished up
Re: It's an admirable project to be sure...
This is exactly why the first batch of boards are aimed at developers so that they can iron out the production issues and get developers to fiddle with them, build software, see what works and what doesn't, basically get them to a large audience. The education versions (which will come in a case and with a manual) are planned for the end of the year IIRC.
Also, as it's a Linux box, you have a massive choice of languages to tinker with, including LOGO and Scratch. Once they get the basics of programming in those languages, they can move to other more complex languages. Experience so far seems to show that kids are indeed interested: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1022

Johann Heinrich Heidegger
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2007)
Johann Heinrich Heidegger (July 1, 1633 – July 18, 1698), Swiss theologian, was born at Bäretswil, in the Canton of Zürich.
He studied at Marburg and at Heidelberg, where he became the friend of Johann Friedrich Fabriciuss, and was appointed professor extraordinarius of Hebrew and later of philosophy. In 1659, he was called to Steinfurt to fill the chair of dogmatics and ecclesiastical history, and in the same year he became doctor of theology of Heidelberg.
In 1660 he revisited Switzerland and, after marrying, he travelled in the following year to Holland, where he made the acquaintance of Johannes Cocceius. He returned in 1665 to Zürich, where he was elected professor of moral philosophy. Two years later he succeeded Johann Heinrich Hottinger in the chair of theology, which he occupied until his death, having declined an invitation in 1669 to succeed Cocceius at Leiden, as well as a call to Groningen.
Heidegger was the principal author of the Formula Consensus Helvetica in 1675, which was designed to unite the Swiss Reformed churches, but had an opposite effect. Wilhelm Gass describes him as the most notable of the Swiss theologians of the time.
His writings are largely controversial, though without being bitter, and are in great part levelled against the Roman Catholic Church.
Major works[edit]
- De historia sacra patriarcharum exercitationes selectae (1667–1671)
- Dissertatio de Peregrinationibus religiosis (1670)
- De ratione studiorum, opuscula aurea, &c. (1670)
- Historia papatus (1684; under the name Nicander von Hohenegg)
- Manuductio in viam concordiae Protestantium ecclesiasticae (1686)
- Tumulus concilii Tridentini (1690)
- Exercitationes biblicae (1700), with a life of the author prefixed
- Corpus theologiae Christianae (1700, edited by JH Schweizer)
- Ethicae Christianae elementa (1711)
- life of JH Hottinger (1667)
- life of JL Fabricius (1698)
His autobiography appeared in 1698, under the title Historia vitae J. H. Heideggeri.

Going Backwards--- We traded in Big Red.We are trying to "EMBRACE" it
We are traveling to Kansas City weekly for follow-up appointments.
In July..This happened:
We've been doing 6 week of I.V antibiotics at home.
This is his office at work.Yes, a recliner to keep his foot elevated while he works.
July was NOT a good month.
I spent 1 week in the hospital as well. Grrrr.. Thought I was having a heart attack. It was just my gawl bladder but not bad enough to have it removed. I had a little oopsie and I passed out. For me, that means my heart stops and it needs a jump start. My ribs got battered trying to bring me back to life. I was a month recovering. The good news. I had a work over!! I AM HEALTHY NOW!
In June: We were able to take a LONG awaited trip to UTAH to see our family. Yes, Clark spent 3 day's in University of Utah hospital. He got a bug, and dehydrated again. It was NOT a good experience!!
I spent 1 month there. I was able to spend a lot of time with our children and with our Grandchildren Clark flew home to go to work. For me, It was WONDERFUL!!
May: Was the only month that we didn't spend in the hospital this year! SO FAR
April: Our day's were spent in an out of the hospital for infections
March: In and out of the hospital for Dehydration
February: In and out of the hospital for Infections
January: In and out of the hospital for Dehydration. The secret of a transplant recipient is FLUIDS. Water, Water, Water. It's been a hard lesson.
Pretty crazy few months!!!
It has been a long road. We have been blessed that Clark's kidney and pancreas through all of this are doing GREAT. It has been a new life not having diabetes. It's such a miracle.

Lanes were closed on the Bishop-Ford Expressway Tuesday morning after a semi-truck jackknifed near Sibley Boulevard.
The accident, which occurred about 5:15 a.m., blocked one southbound and two northbound lanes, according to Illinois State Police.
No injuries were reported, and no vehicles other than the semi were involved in the crash, state police said.
All southbound lanes were moving normally as of about 7:20 a.m., according to state police.
However, the northbound lanes remained blocked, and it was not clear when they would be reopened, state police said.

Roswell, GA
If you are into the arts, you will have plenty to keep you busy in Roswell. Check out the Georgia Ensemble Theatre, where you can catch a show, audition to be a part of a production, take a class to work on your craft, or sign up your own little drama king or queen to put those dramatic displays to good use. Other theaters in town include North Fulton Drama Club and the Red Door Playhouse. You can also check out some live music by the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra. This orchestra will tickle your eardrums with tunes from the 1600s and 1700s.
Roswell has a rich history and the Roswell Historical Society does a great job of preserving it and then presenting it to the public. The society offers guided walking tours that are a great way to get to know your new city a little better. Period costumes make the tours even more authentic. The society also plans some rocking special events such as Dinner Y'all and Beyond My Stone. The Teaching Museum North is another must-see for anyone interested in Roswell's past. The museum features exhibits on American presidents, women in the White House, and Georgian authors.
There are some funky, fun festivals and special events that go on throughout the year in Roswell, including the Annual Quilt Show, the Roswell Arts Festival, the Trilogy Trolley Crawl, and Christmas in Roswell. The Roswell Roots Festival, which celebrates African-American history in the area, is one celebration you don't want to miss. If you would prefer to see Roswell at its spookiest, go on a Roswell Ghost Tour. But, be prepared. The haunting tales you will hear are not just stories—and they are also not for the faint of heart.

Exclusive: "Lip Service" creator Harriet Braun talks Series 2
We've said it once and we'll say it again: Lip Service is a big old tease. In 2010, we waited an extra six months for the show finally to be shown, and now we've waited for over a year on the follow up. OVER A YEAR. And even though we all spent the last year emailing BBC3 and replying to every Tweet sent by the cast members with, "Hey babes, when's Lip Service back LOL? RT?" amazingly it made no difference. Sometimes they didn't even reply to us.
But — and Sarah would rather we didn't use this sentence because it's a cliché, but I'm typing, so f–k it — good things come to those who wait. (Unless you're waiting at home all day for Amazon to send out your new laptop and when it comes it's a set of steak knives instead. True story.)
So our wait is over, and finally on Friday 20 April at 9 pm, Lip Service will be lezurrected for our televisual pleasures. And who better to ask all about it than the lady who herself made up Sam, Frankie, Cat and Tess from her very own head? In our exclusive interview, Lip Service creator and writer Harriet Braun talks about the reaction to series one, teases what we can expect from series two, and introduces the new characters.
Photo by Andrew Whitton
AfterEllen.com: How did you feel about the incredible reaction to the first series of the show? Was it what you imagined?
Harriet Braun: I always knew as there are so few lesbian TV dramas, this would come under a lot of scrutiny. To be able to write it, I tried to just get on with doing the best job I could, and not imagine a reaction at all, otherwise I might never have written a word! But when the clock was ticking down to the first episode airing, I started to get "first night" nerves. So obviously I was incredibly happy when a lot of the lesbian audience did enjoy it and that we also appealed to a wider audience too. Some really unlikely people have approached me and told me they're fans – that always delights me.
AE: The BBC took a long time to announce that there would be a second series. Did that make you nervous or did you always have confidence that it would be recommissioned?
HB: No, I wasn't really nervous. I just did the best job I could and hoped that would mean we'd get a second series. Once it had aired, and we got good ratings, I just had to hope that would be enough.
AE: Are you happier with this year's timeslot? Fridays at 9 pm will surely help to build the audience a little bit more?
HB: If the 9 pm time slot means our audience grows, then that would be great.
AE: A lot of series one was about establishing the characters and their relationships. Now that people are familiar with that, was it a little easier to write series 2?
HB: Staring at a blank computer screen at the start of something is always intimidating, so yes, it was nice to have a world and characters in place that I could build on. That said, I'm not sure how much easier writing ever gets, there are always the same challenges, how to make it truthful and exciting and compelling, all while trying to avoid going on Facebook or Twitter. (Writers really shouldn't be allowed on the net, it's like a giant, work avoidance playground.) And of course this time around I knew there were fans waiting for it, so I definitely didn't want to disappoint them.
AE: What can we expect from this series? Does it follow on directly from where we left the story before?
HB: No, it starts a few weeks after the last series ended. Cat's been on holiday with Sam, who is still in the dark about her affair with Frankie. Frankie's nervously awaiting Cat's return. Tess is now going out with Fin and about to start her new job. She's in a good place, but that's before she meets her nightmare fellow cast member, Nora. Her and Fin are also at the getting to know each other stage, so Fin's passion for football, one of Tess' pet hates, comes as a bit of a surprise.
AE: A few of the cast members have said this series is both funnier, but also darker. Would you agree with that and if so, how is it funnier and darker?
HB: It's a real emotional roller coaster this time round. The characters face some big, dramatic challenges. That said, I really loved writing the comic aspects of the first series, so wanted to build on that too. Knowing what a great comic actress Fiona Button is, I made sure to give her a lot of funny material where she could really show off her range. And a number of our new cast have done comedy before and really bring it on the funny front. Dr Declan Love, (played by Adam Sinclair) is Lexy's irreverent gay male friend who is amusingly outrageous in his behaviour. He thinks morality is something you do when other people are watching. Then there's also Stuart McQuarrie, playing Hugh, Tess's fellow actor and friend, who has a drinking and dialing problem around his ex. They made me laugh out loud a lot, so I hope people enjoy them.
AE: We were left on a bit of a cliffhanger last year with regards to the Cat-Frankie-Sam storyline. If you were in Cat's position, who would you choose?
HB: It's a tough one. Do you stay with your fantastic new love, or go back to your previously toxic but irresistible first love with whom you have unfinished business? I know if it was me I'd be totally torn and simply wouldn't know what to do, which is, I guess, why I felt so compelled to write the story.
AE: You told us at the end of the last series that we could expect to see much more DS Murray, so does Sam play a more central role this time? We're also delighted to see the return of Sadie; has she also been brought more directly into the main group?
HB: Yes and yes, I loved Sadie and Sam in series one and wanted to see them do more. I got the impression the fans might want that too! A second series was an excellent opportunity to allow them to evolve and deepen as characters. So I've given them some bigger storylines and a real chance to flex their acting muscles. I'm glad I did; they don't disappoint.
AE: There are quite a few new characters this series. Why did you introduce them and what can we expect from them? Lexy in particular looks like a major new role?
HB: I think it's important to breathe new life in to a show, throw new characters in to the mix and see how they impact on the regular cast and shake up the dynamics. Lexy is definitely a major new role. She plays Frankie and Tess' new flatmate. I remember Kelly and Victor, our wonderful casting directors for Series 2, telling us about Anna Skellern, who they thought might be right for Lexy. Then I saw her audition tape, and straight away thought, "Wow, she's great; this could be her." In short, Lexy's a sexy, witty, straight talking, Aussie doctor. What's not to like?
We've also got some other new female cast members, who some viewers may recognise. Tess has her ideal job but things don't go entirely smoothly due to a fellow actress. The hugely talented Sinead Keenan (Nina in Being Human) plays Nora, Tess's Machiavellian nemesis. (I hear that in her next show, Sinead's going to be allowed to play a character with a name that isn't almost exactly the same as the name of her last character!) Expect lots of underhand behaviour and veiled insults from Nora. It's a fun part and she's great in it. There's also Neve McIntosh who plays the editor of Minus 21 Magazine. Expect a fierce attitude, wrapped in sharp suits and killer heels with a weakness for one our characters. I've been a fan of Neve's for years, so was over the moon when she came on board. I love her performance.
AE: The show was incredibly successful last time around, but there were some dissenters who felt that it wasn't representative enough of the lesbian community – too femme and too white. What would your response be to that?
HB: I always knew finding the right actors for these roles would be hard and we auditioned hundreds of people. Ultimately we always went with the person who gave the best reading and really inhabited the part. That took precedence over all other considerations, including ethnicity and where they could realistically sit on the butch/femme spectrum.
Ultimately I'd say this is television, not real life – and inevitably on a show with a small number of characters, some members of a community are going to feel under represented. I think the answer isn't to put the pressure to represent everyone on one show, but to get more lesbian characters on TV in general.
AE: There was also a little bit of criticism for some of the sex scenes – usually involving Frankie – the morgue-asm, shavegate and strap-on-gate. Did you include these scenes to give the show some extra talkability, or because you thought these scenes were important in establishing Frankie's state of mind – or even both?
HB: I never write sex scenes with the intention of shocking or creating a talking point. At the outset we decided we would show the sex rather than cutting away from it, because you learn a lot about who a character is through the way they have sex. So yes, all the scenes you mentioned were never meant to be representations of tender love-making, they were meant to establish Frankie's nihilistic frame of mind at that time. The sex scenes in Lip Service come under so much more scrutiny than the countless sex scenes in straight shows. I think because there are so few attempts at authentically representing lesbian sex on screen, some of the lesbian audience want the scenes they do get to be a reflection of their own sex lives. We're all so different, and have sex in countless different ways, so obviously that isn't always going to happen.
AE: And … how much sex is there this time around?
HB: Well if people come to the show only looking for titillation, then they'd be better off looking elsewhere. But if they want some good stories, and characters that fall in love and lust and sometimes have sex with each other, then they shouldn't be disappointed.
AE: Are you working on anything else right now or is there no time?
HB: I've been working on some new ideas, and also writing a play.
AE: Have you already started thinking about where the stories will go in series three?
HB: Yes, I've given it a little bit of thought, but I'm definitely not giving away any spoilers. People need to watch Series 2 first!

Oh-ma-gawd today is a superb day. André Leon Talley editor of ZeeCee, editor-at-large of US Vogue and (most importantly) fabulous former America's Next Top Model judge has joined Instagram and we could not be more excited.
So far, he's only posted a screen grab of his website ZeeCee showing Kim Kardashian as a 'Style Muse' and Pharrell as 'Dude of the Month'. Since André' is fashion in human form, we can't wait for a future feed full of scathing comments, style snaps and fierce selfies, like this one we made for him.
Other big Instagram news - Jared Leto's shared an adorable picture of himself inviting his delighted mum to the Oscars via Skype. 'My mothers face when @shannonleto and I told her she was coming to the #Oscars with us,' he posted. She looks so SO happy!
Elsewhere, Suki Waterhouse's posted snaps of herself in Korean Vogue, Peaches Geldof took a day trip to Paris and shared what she got up to, Alexa Chung's celebrated the success of her book IT and Harley Viera Newton's uploaded an aww-worthy snap of her super-cute kitten!

Quarterback Collin Klein is usually referring to the way coaches instruct players to hang onto the football, high enough to make it hard for defenders to pull it out.
The prevalence of the "high and tight" mantra is one reason the No. 6 Wildcats lead the Big 12 with a plus-10 turnover margin. Kansas State (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) has only lost two interceptions and just one fumble while forcing 13 turnovers by its opponents.
The Wildcats have scored 59 points off turnovers. Opponents have been shut out. Kansas State visits Iowa State on Saturday.

New South Wales Championships
New South Wales Championships/Open Tournament History
The New South Wales Championships is among the oldest surviving tournaments on the international circuit – including Grand Slam events - and in 2005 celebrated its 120th birthday. From the mid 1885 to 1922, when the National Championships ceased to be a men-only event, the NSW and Victorian Championships (which began in 1884 but ceased to exist in 1971, since when the titles have been awarded to the winner of the Australian Open) were the leading events for Australian women. In fact, their status remained sufficiently high for Adrian Quist to write in the 1973 Encyclopedia of Tennis (edited by Max Robertson, p. 201) that from "an Australian viewpoint, the Championships of New South Wales (Sydney) and Victoria (Melbourne) carry almost the same prestige as the national titles."
Traditionally held on the grass courts at White City in Sydney, they have been interrupted just once, from 1941-44 during WWII. In 1989, the surface switched to Rebound Ace, to bring the event in line with the surface used at the Australian Open at Flinders Park and at the turn of the millennium, the tournament left White City for the NSW tennis centre at Homebush Bay, which had been constructed for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. With Kuznetsova slated to play in the 2006 tournament, from what I can see, every winner of a grand slam tournament between Wimbledon 1958 and the US Open 2005 with two exceptions Karen Hantze-Susman, the Wimbledon Champion of 1962 who never played in Australia, and 2004 Wimbledon Champion Maria Sharapova has graced the tournament, though Tracy Austin only played doubles there once.
In the years before 1958, the roll of honour of the championships contains few foreigners and it took 49 years (1934) before Britain's Dorothy Round became the first foreign winner. She remained the only non-Australian champion until Americans Doris Hart (1948) and Maureen Connolly (1952) came along after World War II. Nevertheless, virtually all the leading Australians, Margaret Molesworth (1919, 21), Sylvia Lance-Harper (1924,28), Daphne Akhurst (1929), Esna Boyd (1923, 26, 27), Joan Hartigan (1933), Beryl Penrose-Collier (1954), Thelma Coyne-Long (1935, 38, 40, 51, 53) and Nancye Wynne Bolton (1936, 37, 39, 45, 46, 47), appear on the roll of honour.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, doubtless due to a combination of Australian domination of men's tennis raising the prestige of the Australian circuit and the rise in popularity of women's tennis, the number of foreign competitors on the Australian circuit slowly began to increase. The following is a brief journey through the history of the New South Wales Championships from 1955-2005. As the Australian summer spans the turn of the year, I've used both years to show the season and then, when known, given the month the event took place. I've also noted the year-end ranking of the players (Lance Tingay's top 10 until 1974 and then those of the WTA computer) to give an idea about the strength of the field.
Many thanks are due to Chris for some of the pre-final results pre 1967 and to AndrewTas for the full roll of honour he has compiled. If anyone can fill in any of the missing SF and QF results, that'd be great.

UK / Palestine / France / Israel, 1999 (MIFF 1999, Documentaries)
Director: Alison King, Suher Ismael, Fabienne Bouville, Ruti Gadish
Nana tocuses on the loving but sometimes quite difficult relationships between four women filmmakers and the compassionate, authoritarian, unpredictable, loquacious grandmothers. From 1994 to 1998, Nana evolved out of communal effort to gain insight into each others' lives and explore one another's cultural and personal histories.
As dramas are recounted, intimacy grows. Grandmothers and granddaughters begin to painstakingly establish adult relationships within the context of their diverse cultures. The spread of experiences is what provides much of the colour of Nana, anecdotes, history and tragedy from time removed by a complete span of life.
Rashida Jabir has spent her entire life in El Khadei, a tiny Palestinian village. She has seen her country go through occupations by three foreign powers; given birth to 12 children; has over 100 immediate family descendants and is proud of never having been in love with her husband! Simone Levet was born in Toulouse in 1915, started her own business at 23 and went deaf from shock after the early death of her husband. Modern technology restored her hearing 37 years later. Blanche Soury is fluent in four languages, danced for King Farouk and is a former beauty queen. At 79 she still travels extensively with her husband of 60 years. Kitty King grew up in a cemetery in South London, gave birth to two sons and lived in the Underground during the blitz after her home was destroyed. Firm in her principles, she believes in the Empire, the monarchy and the Church of England.
The vitality of the four grandmothers, their extraordinary lives and viewpoints make Nana as entertaining as it is emotionally charged and thought-provoking.

Parties are brought to another level with the help of floral and event décor thanks to Flowers by Andrew Scott.
Located in New Hyde Park, at 816 Jericho Tpke., Andrew Scott Events is designed to be the community go-to retail florist, says owner Andrew Zecher.
"It was designed to be your community go-to retail florist providing the freshest quality flowers and unique floral designs," Zecher said.
On Friday, July 18, there were cocktails, food and flowers to celebrate the grand opening of the shop, as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony
Zecher's business doesn't just provide floral decoration. Besides Flowers by Andrew Scott, another part of his company, deals with event décor and event planning.
Andrew Scott Events began four years ago in August of 2010. "It has quickly become the leading force in the wedding industry," commented Zecher.
His goal, Zecher says, is to provide his clients with events that go beyond what they could even dream of.
The Andrew Scott Events division of the company provides upscale floral arrangements for weddings and private events, as well as full service event planning options for any occasion.
"We also have unique gifts and home decor items as well," added Zecher.
Andrew Scott Events and Flowers by Andrew Scott have worked at locations on Long Island and beyond. Zecher's business has provided its services at locations such as Chateau la Mer in Lindenhurst,
Cedarhurst Yacht Club in Lawrence, the Eventi Hotel in New York City, Cipriani Wall Street, as well The Inn at New Hyde Park.
The Garden City Hotel also receives business from Zecher. The company is the official florist of the hotel, and provides the hotel with floral designs for the lobby and restaurant.
Flowers by Andrew Scott takes the vision of its customers and transforms an event into something truly memorable.

Impact on education
Dr. Lavern Holyfield, associate professor in public health sciences
Holyfield's 2012 ADEA fellowship opportunity translates to big benefits for TAMHSC-BCD faculty development
Dr. Lavern Holyfield was formally awarded the 2012 ADEA/William J. Gies Foundation Education Fellowship on March 18, and she is already focused on the benefits of the opportunity — not just for dental education in a broad sense, but also for faculty development right here at her home base of Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry.
"I am grateful to have been chosen as the 2012 ADEA/William J. Gies Foundation Education Fellow," says Holyfield, associate professor in public health sciences and director of faculty development in the Office of Academic Affairs. She was recognized during the ADEA Annual Session and Exhibition in Orlando, Fla.
"I look forward to working with the staff in the ADEA Center for Educational Policy and Research and engaging in measures that will positively impact the proficiency of dental education, while simultaneously enhancing my capabilities as an academician and administrator," Holyfield adds.
In addition to working with ADEA staff on key issues in dental education, Holyfield plans to integrate her experiences with her work at Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry, in order to facilitate discussions regarding retention of faculty, quality of teaching and learning needs of new instructors.
As part of the fellowship, geared to familiarize dental educators with a wide range of dental education issues, Holyfield will spend a cumulative three months at the American Dental Education Association offices throughout 2012.
During her time at the Washington, D.C.-based ADEA Center for Educational Policy and Research, Holyfield will work with staff on issues such as faculty:
- recruitment;
- development;
- retention;
- leadership development;
- teaching strategies;
- competencies and assessment;
- accreditation; and
- licensure.

President's last bang, The
Sth Korea, 2004 (MIFF 2005, Regional Focus)
Director: Im Sang-sooOn 26 October 1979, the president of South Korea was assassinated. The man behind the barrel was the president's own chief of the secret service, KCIA boss Kim. In this rambunctious and burlesque film, Im Sang-soo portrays the last day of the president's 18-year reign, focusing on the president's tawdry evening entertainment with his cronies... but, hey, no fun before a lecture on discipline and the evils of democracy. Im assembles a top brass cast for his depiction of political carnage, which featured in Directors' Fortnight in this year's Cannes Film Festival. "South Korean cinema finally gets its first full-blown political satire with [The President's Last Bang], a virtuoso slice of sustained black humor centered on the real-life 1979 assassination of Gen. Park Chung-heui by his secret service chief. Imagine a ramped-down, Korean version of Dr. Strangelove, and you're not far from the satirical tone of this fourth feature by writer-director Im Sang-soo (A Good Lawyer's Wife)." - Variety Im Sang-soo will be attending the festival.
D/S Im Sang-soo P Shim Jae-Myeong WS MK Pictures L Korean w/English subtitles TD 35mm/col/2005/102mins Im Sang-soo was born in South Korea in 1962. His films include [Girl's Night Out] (1998), [Barking Dogs Never Bite] (2000), [A Good Lawyer's Wife] (2003).

TARDIS mini-libraries prove libraries are bigger on the inside
July 28, 2014 | 12:39 pm
Doctor Who fans everywhere will be able to tell you that the TARDIS, the Doctor's iconic time and space travel machine, is bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside - which is a fine metaphor for a library, whose content can encompass a universe and range far across time and space. And it seems that many U.S. exponents of the Little Free Library movement have made the connection and created TARDIS Little Free Libraries.

How to build you very own Little Free Library
April 10, 2013 | 3:12 pm
I vaguely remember seeing a few blog posts and photo-heavy features here and there in months past about tiny, DIY libraries. It always seemed to me like the sort of thing you might expect to see in one of those weird BuzzFeed roundups: 12 Oddball Book Lovers Who've Built Tiny Libraries On the Side of the Road, or something like that.
