Update on BookSmart 1.9
Naturally, there is a lot of interest here in the Forums about the next
Will the next version allow for a picture to span accross two pages?
-Sasha Kelly
New version will be for Mac, too, right? Not just Windows? Because I can't run the current version on my PowerBook. The previous one worked all right (if slow). This one just locks up and won't do anything. Very frustrating. I'll be eagerly awaiting the new release – but PLEASE say it's for Mac, too.

hereBdragons –
Absolutely — we will be releasing the Mac and PC versions at the exact same time. A huge part of the Blurb community (as well as the Blurb staff) are hard core Mac people, so no worries!
No chance for a sneak preview? Maybe a list of new features added?
We are just all so curious (popping on this forum every few hours this last week to see if there is an update on 1.9).
yeah, RIGHT. where's the new version?<cite>??</cite>
you put out a product, get our expectations up, want us to purchase the book after we've created it, and the program doesn't even load!!!
get a LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! and get some programmers that know what they're doing!!!!!!!!!
BETA my ass.
Dog, thanks for posting how many of us feel.
Jack, seriously this last poster is really telling you how many feel I am sure, your over a week late now, seems time for an update.

I'm with you on that observation tothomas.
For those of us with deadlines to meet (and a dead program on our computers and I am not able to work with it at all without it freezing up the computer) time is a wasting. If the new release is not ready within the next couple of days I will be forced to go elsewhere in order to meet my deadline.

when you say you will go elsewhere…what are other options to the blurb service?
As a software developer, I would like to add that it can be somewhat difficult to hit a exact release date. Coding can be challenging, and issues may not come up when testing at first. Unfortunately, delaying a release is a good thing, as if you put a bad product out, you vultures would swoop in a complain that they release junk.
So it looks like Blurb can't win here.
Feature request:
I see that BookSmart uses the "iText Library" for the page layout code. The iText Library supports fully justified text, any chance of implementing this is the next iteration of BookSmart? ...
I'd rather the Blurb code poets take their time and get it right, the current version is a little kooky, but it's still a smart bit of work using some great bits of Open Source code. :)
thanks; i'm just trying to get this company to realize that they've got a lot of people that would like very much to use their product, but can't due to software issues.
they've released a beta version that works sometimes and doesn't work other times. right now i've got a book of about 150 pages and 250 photos that i can't open. i've been working on this for weeks now, and i feel like it's all been for nothing.
i'd like to know what other options folks here are using to get their books printed.
Hi All;
Well – disappointment reigns!
I've been away for 3 weeks, and looking forward to r1.9 being available when I got back so I can start building my next book – but no sign of it!
I understand the difficulties in timing of s/w releases – but WHY oh WHY put out a dateline when it's not going to be met! That only gets hopes up – and creates more frustration when the dateline is not met!
Jack – do you have any (realistic) update on a revised release date for 1.9?
You know, I'm relatively new to blurb, but I am as frustrated as others. I realize this is an open forum and I understand with the frustration and wanting to let blurb know you're not happy campers. I can only imagine how crappy it is to have a large book that won't open in the wonky software. I feel your pain. That said, I fully appreciate the time blurb is taking (even though it is taxing my patience) as I will welcome all the more a release of the software that works, works well and has many more options than the beta version. I'm hopeful and impatient!
Gee, funny how tech support doesn't post anything here about when the new version is going to be available!
I for one will be looking elsewhere to publish. This company obviously just doesn't give a @#$&!!
as much as I want to rant about how my book wont open & how I'll never reccomend blurb to anyone & what a waste of time it's been doing a few hundred photos worth of layout & finding out how useless the software is.
I'd hope blurb really tries to learn from this, what went wrong, why are we loosing customers & what can we do to make it up to them (free shipping anyone). I understand software is a pain I've worked in the games industry & bugs are a real problem to find. Their priority (imho) is fixing the fact you cant open your books any more rather than adding anything major to this update. Stability is a major issue forget features, doesnt matter how nice the radio is if you cant start the car!
To keep everyone on board as customers you should keep us informed as to whats going on, start asking if people want to beta the software (with all those risks involved to their books), we want you to fix this but patience will run out I'm afraid & your reputation will take a pounding,
My 2 pence worth.
Hey folks, believe me you will be the first to know when 1.9 is released. We're working in real time here so rather than set an arbitrary date that we think it will be ready please know that were are literally working on this release 24/7. Please keep watching this space for updates!
To follow up on what Bruce said – we hear your frustration loud and clear and are doing absolutely everything we can to get 1.9 out the door. Please keep in mind, this is a fairly new technology that's not as simple as you might think.
Creating a print-on-demand book makes use of several different moving parts that go well beyond the BookSmart client, and we need to make sure they all work perfectly together. From a stable client, to proper file processing and rendering on our servers, to order distribution, to our network of printers, to proper book printing and binding – all of these elements require explicit verification before we can release the new version of the BookSmart client. If a bug is found and code changes, we have to go through this same process again. If we release 1.9 without it being properly tested at every step, there's a significant risk of similar or even new issues arising, which nobody wants.
If you take a look around the Forums, you'll hopefully see that we do anything and everything we can to try and make all Blurb customers satisfied – it is our top priority. Those of you that can't open books in 1.8 and have contacted Customer Support, you'll be taken care of as far as any required coupons or specific support, if you haven't been already.
Again, we're doing our best to make a rock-solid release of 1.9 available. We want to get there as much as you do. At this point, we're talking a matter of days. However, we simply can't say an exact date of the release until we have a candidate that returns successful tests with all the areas mentioned above. The second we get to that point, we will announce the availability of the release here in the Forums.
Dear Jack,
Like everyone I've been waiting for months to start on my book. However, I've put it on hold due to the many limitations I encountered in version 1.8. I would greatly appreciate if you can inform us of what specific features have been added to the software.
Dear Jack, I too have been keen to see 1.9 released and see what is new on it. In fact I have delayed making a book of our vacation to see if there are any new layouts or improvments that could make my book better. I am using 1.8 on a macbook and have made 2 great books that I am delighted with and have experienced no problems. I am happy to wait until you are sure that all bugs and reliability issues are ironed out. Don,t let these moaners on here push you into rushing out the new version, after all if you do and it has faults these same guys will be the first to complain about it!
I too am hugely frustrated about the slow delivery of 1.9. I've spent over 100 hours working on a book I can no longer access. However do I know about software delivery and if 1.9 has many features I guess I'd like to be sure it was fully tested and any niggles ironed out.
But that raises another serious issue (or future reference!) ......if you know there is a specifc bug that is causing the "hang up problem" so many of us are suffering, then please do not bundle the fix for that into a larger release full of lots of other changes. Instead send out a patch or even a stand alone utility that fixes the problem.
Realistically if 1.9 is not out by the end of the week I'm going to have to can this project and go for a much simpler approach with someone else. I have 50 people waiting for a copy of this photo book by the end of the month and I can't risk more delays.
Jack, its nice your hearing us but honestly it does not appear your listening. Let me offer 2 options
1. Make an older FUNCTIONAL version available for download so we can work on our books
2. Make a patch available that allows us to work on our books with the current version
Ultimately and correct me if I am wrong here folks, we could care less at this point about a new version we need to have something anything that allows us to work.
3. If you cannot do it, let us know. I would prefer honest bad news to no news or misleading expectations.
We have a need, that need must be fulfilled and either Blurb does it or it does not, telling us one way or the other is better than leaving us frustrated and in the dark.

Jack, I totally agree with you to the extent that I hope users of 1.8 like myself that thus far have not encountered problems can continue to use 1.8 until later. My experience is that you will fix every problem that you find for yourselves but hand the software out to the legions of us our there and we will find a few more. Because I will guarantee you will have glitches in 1.9 as soon as it is released. (Just being realistic and no negative reflection on Blurb.)The idea of a patch seems like a good one if you have a way to do this. For one thing it eliminates the need to promise a new version to solve "minor" problems for some users that may be show stoppers for others. The promise of a new version usually entails a promise with a release date which is rarely met by the best of companies.
Dondiliza and everyone – you should feel free to start your book in BookSmart 1.8. While the issue of some users not being able to open their book is extremely serious, it has also proven to be a rare issue, affecting less than 1% of all books created in 1.8.
We've made some significant foundational changes in BookSmart 1.9, some of which should help those who have book files that can't open. Naturally, we would have happily released a patch if it were possible. It's something we seriously discussed at the first report of issues with 1.8. However, to pull that specific code out of the 1.9 build and put it into a working patch release would have taken significantly longer than simply releasing 1.9 itself. Again, for those that are experiencing issues, please get in contact with Customer Service. We will do everything we can to help.
lcarreira – You're right. I'm sure once 1.9 is publicly released, some (hopefully minor) glitches will inevitably be found. As you alluded to, this is true of any software product. We schedule time for a patch release after every major BookSmart release to address these glitches that can only be found in real-world testing. And I trust you, along with the rest of the folks in the Forums, will help us find these glitches.
Hello Jack!
No complaints on the wait from me.
Take the time you need, and am looking forward to the update.
My admiration goes to those with the knowledge to even create such a wonderful product.
Best wishes,
Robert Tracy
This is all well and good, but so far there's nothing about when the new software is going to be released. Hours? Days? Weeks? Months?
C'mon, guys!!! When is it? On behalf of those of us who can't open our work: STOP LEAVING US HANGING AND GIVE US SOME ANSWERS!!!
Has anyone used the Shutterfly website for publishing? It doesn't look quite as slick as booksmart, but at least it will work!
Still waiting…
Oh, and P.S.: where are the coupons/discounts you promised us???
bluemax2 –
Quoted from this post I made earlier in this thread:
"At this point, we're talking a matter of days."
Also, I'm not sure what you're referring to as far as "coupons you promised us." Rather (from that same post):
"Those of you that can't open books in 1.8 and have contacted Customer Support, you'll be taken care of as far as any required coupons or specific support, if you haven't been already. "
It doesn't appear that any books have been uploaded from your account, so if you're having problems opening/uploading your book, please contact Customer Support and you'll be taken care of.
"Those of you that can't open books in 1.8 and have contacted Customer Support, you'll be taken care of as far as any required coupons or specific support, if you haven't been already."
Yes, Jack; this is what you said. I have contacted "Customer Support" and haven't received a response as of yet. This was, oh, I don't know 2 or 3 days ago.
And of course I haven't uploaded any books from my account, Jack. I can't get your program to open the book I've been working on for the past 3 weeks, so how can I possibly upload it???
bluemax2 –
Apparently Customer Support contacted you via email yesterday at around 1:30 PST. Did you not receive that email?
Jack, good to hear. Does it make sense hence to go ahead and load up pics and work on a layout for a book and then just do the upgrade when it's ready, or just wait for 1.9 then do it all? I have some work I need to do for my next book, but don't want it to be redundant…please advise. thanks
photobob -
I would say you should feel free to get started. As mentioned above, there is a fairly rare issue in 1.8 where some members cannot open their book files (less than 1% of 1.8 users have had this happen). But, on the off chance this does happen to you, you should be able to reopen the file in 1.9 and continue making the book – saving you from any redundant work.
No, Jack I didn't receive an email from customer support. Please have them resend.
As a software developer myself I say, hang in there…its not said enough. I often feel the negative comments pretty hard when going through a new release.
That being said throwing the users a bone once in a while like older versions and feature lists never hurt anything.
Good luck with your next release, I will be waiting since my first book with you guys turned out great.
Hi Bluemax,
I am sorry you did not receive Craig's reply to you on 10/8. Please check your spam/bulk mail folder if you do not see it in your inbox. Also, please expect an update from me by the end of the week, which should clarify the v1.9 timeline somewhat.
I appreciate your continued patience and good will.
I'm waiting for v1.9! BookSmart rocks … there is nothing better out there.
I'm looking forward to seeing what is new in v1.9.
Carry on …
No, I definitely did not receive any response from customer service. Not in my inbox or spam/junk folders either.
I'll be looking for your update on the release of 1.9.
Well, all this nonsense about books and photos not printing as well as they should and the fact that blurb STILL HASN'T RELEASED THE NEXT VERSION OF SOFTWARE has made me change my mind about using this program.
I've just downloaded the MyPublisher Bookmaker and will be using that instead.
You would think that with venture capital of $12 MILLION, they would have been able to produce a piece of software that actually works and produces a quality product!!http://www.americanventuremagazine.com/news.php?newsid=1452
As said by others… most of us have been using version 1.8 just fine. I finished my book without any issue and was very pleased with the results (I am in the Printing Industry and can be very critical of quality).
There seems indeed to be a small numbers of customer who do have problems with version 1.8 and I feel their pain. But I prefer to get a new version that actually works instead of an early release with even more problems.
And don't forget, they are still a lot cheaper if you make books with many pages.
And no, I'm not maried to blurb. If there is another supplier out there with simular or cheaper prices and as good or better quality, I would defenitely try them out. But I haven't found one yet…. MyPublisher is way more expensive in high page counts. More that I'm willing to pay.
I wish they would release a new feature list though….
And for those who are waiting to upload their book…. once 1.9 comes out, everybody will start uploading. I wonder how many dealy in production that will cause. If you don't have a problem, you are better of ordering your book right now.
I have had none of the reported problems using 1.8, and though I was waiting for 1.9 to see if there were new layouts or features I wanted to incorporate, I decided that the flood of books that will come when it releases might slow delivery down considerably, so I went ahead and uploaded my book. The result? All in all, not bad! I took vector art and output it as jpg, so it's not ideal, but I was in a hurry so I may not have read all the tips that I could have. At any rate, I won't be embarassed to give this to my niece for a wedding shower gift, and as a graphic designer, I'm picky.
I look forward to the next release, as the software is very kludgy, but the product is just fine!
I just wish that Blurb would let new users know the 1.8 problems that everyone has been having, at least then maybe people would be more understanding and/or wait for the new version. My book would not open and kept freezing up my computer, so I kept re-starting and trying over an over again thinking it was my computer. I finally re-loaded booksmart and started a whole new book thinking that would do it…nope all that work and it won't open AGAIN! I highly doubt it is only 1% of users having these problems, they are most likely the 1% who actually complains to Blurb about it. I didn't …..thought it was my computer until reading the forum. I am also getting sick of checking in everyday, hoping this is the day it 1.9 will be ready. Can you PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL OUT TO ALL USERS WHEN 1.9 IS READY!
Hey Blurb Folks,
Thanks for creating such a great program! Even though there are a few bugs in your software you have still created such a cool tool for us amatures to use. I never would have thought about writing a book without a tool like blurb. You came highly recommended and I have seen one of your printed books and it looked great. Thanks also for not releasing your new version until you are satisfied you have resolved most of the major issues. Take your time and do it right and you will never regret it. Release it too early and everyone will be mad and disappointed. Regards!

Hello folks;
I am new to Blurb. I have only created two books so far with this company. The only problem I have run into is that my C: drive is too small for the book data files, and unfortunately I can not point the program to the other internal hard drive I have on my computer which has twice the capacity. And yes, there are a few things that I can't do with this software that is available on other POD software, but I can turn around and point out things on this software that I can't do on others.
And as far as the time it is taking for the new version, as an IT person, I can tell you that you will be happier dealing with your frustration on how much time this is taking than with the frustration when things don't work properly on a newer version. I say as long as this delay is due to a diligent effort to ensure that everything functions properly, take the time – It will be well worth it.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth.

Feels like it's torn into shreds…
This will be my last post on Tumblr. I was debating about whether ir not to delete this account but I find it too hard because there just too many memories for me to just throw it down the drain.
It really was a good run while it lasted but things have sort of changed along the way and I dont blame them. It's just hard being on this site and not think about the good memories that I have had. I think I am alsot not deleting it because I acknowledge that I may be back some day. When enough time has passed by and I know for sure that I will be able handle seeing all those past posts and still be able to keep my head up.
For now I say good-bye but not a good riddance. I know that I will miss this as much as I will miss that other person. This is just another "hello, goodbye".
This got me through a hard time. Hope it continues to do so.
I have come to the conclusion that I will always be an optimist, no matter what the situation is at hand. I am trying my very best and I hope that everything works itself out in the end.
Thank you for always being there. Hope you know that I will always be here no matter what. You are the best friend that I have ever had the fortune to have and everything that we have done will always have a place in my heart and memory. I ask nothing except to always be a part of your memories, all the good ones that were at hand. Thank you for making these last 2 years of my life very special. No one else on earth could have done what you accomplished, being my best friend and love of my life. I hope that this parting is just a temporary one and in the future we could meet up once again, but for now I understand that this is the best way. Until then I will always be your hopeless optimistic.
I think this expresses my life perfectly right now.

God Bless Harry G. Ochs Jr.
Harry Ochs is/was and has been the ONLY supplier of prime beef and spectacular veal and lamb at Reading terminal Mkt.
Harry died on Sunday. He was 80 and had been fighting cancer for a while. Harry's integrity, high standards and wit brightened my every visit to RTM.
Harry's knowledge of meats and butchering made him one of the rare living cultural treasures remaining at RTM. Harry had stories about butchering at RTM that could scarcely be believed in this time of phony and misleading signage, CryoVac, waterlogged, medicated 'natural' products. and 'butchers' aka unpackers.
Harry was crazy about Villanova basketball and the Boston Celtics. In 85-86 Harry was already in heaven. Villanova took the NCAA in 85 and the Celtics were in the NBA championship both years taking the title in 86. Harry also won Best of Philly that year.
Harry generously educated me at the butcher block, meat saw and grinder. He invited me over to use his tools anytime he had space. Harry shared his politics, sports obsessions and good judgment as freely as his smile.
RTM takes a big hit in the cultural capital vault with the loss of Mr. Ochs.

User file security when copying from XP backup to W7
Using Windows 7 64 bit home on new Samsung PC.
I'm trying to copy user1's documents, photos etc from Easeus TODO backup *.pbd file of old XP Pro PC into user2's filing system on new Windows 7 PC.
If I mount the old C drive image, I can see what I want to copy in "documents and settings/User1/documents", but I can't copy them because of Windows 7 security problems.
How do I do this? Should I restore the old C drive onto a spare disk, or will I have the same security problem? I have full admin rights on new PC but I can't see how to change the security to give me copying rights.
Thanks in advance..

Thank you for this rapid reply.. Unforunately I no longer have access to the XP machine.
Perhaps I can
1) create new user USER1 on Windows 7 machine with same ID & password as on XP , and then
2) use USER1 on Windows 7 to copy from XP to Windows 7 Public folder
3) Access Windows 7 public folder from USER2's ID.
Would this work please?

When I was ordering something from Spanish clothing company Desigual's web site this weekend, something caught my eye during the checkout process.
Once you chose your county from a drop-down list, this information was used to populate a second drop-down list containing all the towns within that county. The county list included Greater London, and selecting this enabled you optionally to choose a 'town' within London.
I thought it would be interesting to look at the full list, so I grabbed it via my browser's developer tools and, well, I've pasted below what Desigual thinks are all the separate 'towns' in Greater London.
But what are they? Are they all the council wards with London postcodes? Or were they, at some point? My own ward, Lewisham Central, isn't included, although plain "Lewisham" is. Wards out in Bexley such as Christchurch also don't appear so it can't just be all wards in all London boroughs. Mysterious…
Santastic is an annual festive mashup/remix album compiled by dj BC and made available as a free download at the start of December each year.
You can find all eight Santastic albums and related content at Christmash.com.
In recent weeks I've been referring numerous people to that site and suggesting they should listen to it all but, with eight albums of the stuff, this felt like it could be a bit daunting, even unappealing to the point they wouldn't bother. I needed to do something to give people the best possible flavour of what's on offer without committing them to wading through all eight albums.
So on Christmas Eve I, er, waded through all eight albums - listening to them all as I worked at home and copying any tracks I thought should make it onto a highlights compilation into a new folder.
Despite trying to be pretty harsh as I went along, I still ended up with about 50% more tracks than I really wanted. But after some tough weeding, I can now present the results:
This compilation (in no way created or even known about by Santastic creator dj BC) is just my personal attempt to pick the 20 'best' tracks from the first eight Santastic albums - a highly subjective task, of course. I think these 20 tracks give a good overview of the kinds of stuff to be found on the albums, as well as representing 20 of my favourites.
I've tried to give a good spread across all the albums, although Santastic V (2010) was a particularly amazing album I could easily have included nearly any track from so it is overrepresented here, while Santastic Six (2011) didn't really offer anything so stand-out it could justify inclusion, to my ears at least.
N.B. There are two versions of a couple of the tracks, depending on the sensitivities of the ears of those you'll be sharing the music with. The filenames are hopefully self-explanatory :)
Merry Christmas - enjoy the music :)
Southbank Centre ran a wonderfully ambitious year-long festival of 20th century culture based on (and named after) Alex Ross's comprehensive book The Rest Is Noise, throughout 2013.
Southbank Centre's The Rest Is Noise web site is here, with countless recordings and other information about the year's events, which were concentrated primarily on 12 weekends of talks, discussions and performances during the year.
We attended at least one day of every one of those 12 weekends, and I livetweeted every session I attended, with Edith often tweeting from any differing sessions she went to too, in what we started to think of as a 'red button' service :)
After each day of The Rest Is Noise, I compiled all my tweets and pictures, along with many responses I'd received, into a Storify compilation. This post brings together all 17 of those compilations, for posterity!
What a year! Congratulations to all involved in putting this festival on – it's been amazing. We've learnt so much! Looking forward to whatever the next project up Southbank Centre's sleeve may be…
Yesterday we went to a good discussion on feminism, curated by performance artist Bryony Kimmings at Soho Theatre in relation to her show there at the moment, Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model. Although we disagreed with quite a lot of what one panellist said, everyone there was well aware of issues of underrepresentation of women in the arts world and we left reassured to hear good practices being discussed to improve the situation.
Then we went to our first set of short films at the 2013 London Film Festival.
I'm a big fan of short films and generally go to a lot of the programmes of these that the LFF curate. This year we've booked five, and our first was a comedy lineup. Before the screenings began, five of the directors stood up - and they were all men:
Sure enough, all eight films turned out to be directed by men.
Aside from our concerns about the apparently sexist selection practices of the BFI's curators, this lack of women clearly translated into the films' content.
Below I have listed all the female characters from the eight films - I think you'll see what I mean. Those with an asterisk are the only ones who actually appeared in a majority of their respective films.
Film 1:
Film 2:
Film 3:
Film 4:
Film 5:
Film 6:
Film 7:
Film 8:
That's it. Women may make up half the world's population but they just aren't interesting enough to make films about.
Films 4 and 6 were the comedy highlights - Talking Dog For Sale, 10 Euros, and Pandas [Pandy] - with Film 1 - Penny Dreadful - an enjoyable watch too. But the rest largely left us cold and we were particularly irritated by the lack of women.
So today I thought I'd check over all nine programmes of short films from this year's LFF and see what the gender balance in the directors is across the lot, in case we'd had an unrepresentative view last night.
Almost inevitably, the average is more than none, so to that extent, we had - but the picture is not good.
Of 72 short films across the nine programmes, only 11 have women directors. That's just 15%, less than one in every six shorts.
The figures for the nine specific programmes are as follows:
Just one programme achieves gender parity.
And as bad luck would have it, the five we're going to are among the worst, so we'll only be seeing two shorts directed by women out of the 39 we're seeing.
If I were the BFI, curating the London Film Festival shorts programmes, I'd be asking whether it's really true that 85% of the world's best short films come from men directors, or whether there might be something amiss with the selection process.
P.S. If LFF-going leaves you too with a slightly nasty taste in your mouth around this issue, here are a couple of festivals coming up in the next few weeks which we've heard about recently and sound like good antidotes:
Calm Down, Dear - Camden People's Theatre's Festival of Feminism
Underwire Film Festival - loads of shorts by women - it's almost like they do exist after all!
And Birds Eye View continues to do great things with women filmmakers, and holds a festival in the spring.
Three days after I first complained about the all-male lineup on Twitter, BFI have replied to me in a series of tweets (1 2 3) this afternoon. Taken together, they read:
Thanks for a very thought provoking tumblr. We take diversity seriously and we're really proud of how diverse the LFF is when viewed as a whole. We agree that there's an issue with how few films are directed by women in the UK, and we're working hard to change that.
I'm glad they've responded and agree there's an issue, although their wording is interesting as it suggests they don't think the issue is with their selection process, but only acknowledges the limited number of women directors in the industry (and only in the UK, for that matter), rather than a suggestion that their shorts selection may be inadequately representative even within those parameters.
So, as my reply to them said:
Thanks for your response - I look forward to seeing that hard work pay off more in next year's shorts programmes!
Just found out this pic we put on Flickr of us at a friend's 50th birthday party in Scotland in 2009 has become a worldwide online icon for 'empty party' - indeed, a copy of it appears when you type the phrase into Google!
One of the main uses for it is as a metaphor for underused social network Google+:
Although one of Google+'s handful of users seems to think it actually represents Facebook.
We're also in a widespread 'expectations vs. reality' meme!
As someone who organises Facebook events, I can confirm the caption someone's added to this version.
And perhaps most weirdly of all - what on earth is going on here?
That's just some highlights from Google reverse image search - do let me know if you spot us anywhere else, won't you? :D
I've just read the full 43-page judgement published today by the judge hearing Lewisham Council and the Save Lewisham Hospital campaign's judicial review of the South London Healthcare Trust's Special Administrator's recommendation, and the government's decision - to downgrade Lewisham Hospital's A&E and maternity services.
He concluded that the TSA and government had acted unlawfully and this part of their recommendations and decision had to be quashed - hooray!
The PDF is here and is an interesting read: http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgments/Lewisham-v-SSH310713.pdf
If you just want to read the stuff where the judge destroys the government's arguments, that's mainly on pages 18-23, 30-31 and 36-43 :)
The first of those bits deals with the meaning of "in relation to" - as in, the Trust Special Administrator and government could only act in relation to South London Healthcare Trust, which doesn't include Lewisham. Bizarrely, the government tried at length to argue that 'in relation to' could have a really broad meaning that did allow it to deal with pretty much anything, but the judge was having none of it.
Interesting and heartening too to see that both the council's resolute opposition and public turnout at the two big demos (15k and 25k respectively) are cited as evidence that the reconfiguration would have struggled to get through a proper procedure, which would have more closely involved the council and required far more public consultation. This means the judge is able to raise enough doubt to question whether the same decision would definitely have been reached via that process (in which case gov't might have been able to say it stood regardless of having been done wrong), so that the judge can rule it can't stand.
So the community turning out on a demo, and lovely Lewisham Council being seen "to oppose the proposal very forcefully putting forward every possible argument", actually helped!
Finally, I guess the judge would have tweaked his wording slightly in the final paragraph if he'd been *intentionally* rubbing the government's noses in it, but I enjoy the irony anyway:
"Therefore the decision of the Secretary of State insofar as it relates to LH must be quashed as must the recommendations of the TSA also insofar as they relate to LH."
Quashed *in relation to* Lewisham Hospital, eh? By the government's definition, that means the whole thing's quashed, right? ;)
Here are my 'additional comments' that I've just submitted to the London Assembly's current bus passenger survey:
I was delighted when TfL introduced a Sunday service on route B12 recently after many years' campaigning for this. But all over Greater London there are still roads/towns/villages which are served by buses only part of the time, be that daytimes only and/or Mon-Fri/Sat only. The only way anyone in these areas will be persuaded out of their polluting, congesting cars is to ensure that all bus-served roads in the capital have a basic full service, throughout the week. This doesn't mean that *all* routes *must* be 7-day, as it may be that in some specific cases all parts of a route are duplicated by other routes and the demand simply wouldn't be there at some times - Route 521 comes to mind as a rare case. But the general principle should apply and it's a great shame that this was missed during the halcyon years at the start of the London Mayoralty when the service in general was vastly expanded.
Recognising the above applies primarily in areas with minimal bus patronage, at the other end of the spectrum, I'd also like to comment on the bad overcrowding on numerous routes in SE London. I don't claim this is anything like a comprehensive list because I see this a lot, but in recent weeks I can recall being on astonishingly crammed buses on the 181 and 53 routes in particular. During the Olympics the 53 had its capacity temporarily increased and I'm sure many of its regular users thought this arrangement should have stayed, or even been further improved on, after the Games were over!
Third, I sometime worry that the bus network has grown/changed too organically without enough strategic planning, which can lead to odd anomalies. For instance, logically you would expect key bus hubs like Lewisham, Bexleyheath, Woolwich, Elephant & Castle each to be linked to each other to form a network with easy interchanges between maximum numbers of routes. While this is indeed the case for most of these, the lack of direct route between Lewisham and Elephant & Castle etc is an especially glaring omission. The 53 misses Lewisham while the 21 swerves past Elephant. I dare say there are other oddities like this elsewhere so it would be worth considering this stragetic-level network of key interchanges and ensuring there are good, high-capacity, reliable, direct links between them all.
Finally, what's been particularly noticeable to me as a frequent bus passenger across a wide area of London over the past few years is a decline in speed and reliability of bus travel. Part of this could be down to the overcrowding increasing dwell times, but undoubtedly a lot of it is down to the increased traffic levels on the roads. TfL really need to focus on getting people out of their cars and stop all this 'smoothing traffic flow' nonsense which has had quite the opposite effect. A decline in car journeys in the first decade of the 21st century has in recent years switched to become an increase, and this needs urgent attention if all the bus routes aren't to grind to a halt.
Thanks for reading!
What better reminder of the happy days of last summer than some colourful London 2012 banners? So I thought, in December, when I saw that post on Darryl's local blog.
I co-ordinated my bids and managed to snare a combination of banners in the three colours I liked best, and with the three graphics/messages on that I wanted - brilliant. (Example of a banner I won!)
That was on 16 December 2012. It's now 5 March 2013 and I still don't actually have the banners. And in contrast with the impressive feat of pulling off a phenomenal Olympic and Paralympic Games last summer, it seems this auction is one of the most shambolic operations I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
My initial elation at winning the banners was immediately tempered slightly by the silly, but not altogether surprising, fact that I had to pay a full £15+VAT delivery charge on each banner, even though it would surely have made sense for them to offer a way to package them up together and send them to me for one fee.
When I hadn't received the banner after a month's wait, though, I decided to take this up with their customer services department and ask for half this excessive delivery charge back. To their credit, they agreed to this; however, there followed a painful series of e-mails in which I had to explain to the customer services staff how VAT worked: they wanted to refund me 1½×£15, not the 1½×(£15+VAT) I had actually paid. Eventually, after consulting a manager, they accepted my explanation and refunded the correct amount.
Another month passed, with still no banners, so I e-mailed again to ask what on earth was going on now. Their reply was somewhat enlightening:
I have had your order forms resent over again to the warehouse. We have found that around the time you won these auctions that not all the orders forms were going through in the system to our warehouse. With the forms resent over we should be able to get these out to you in the next ten business days.
Quite why they hadn't looked into this a month earlier, when I was getting my refund, is anyone's guess, but at least this would mean I got the banners soon, right?
Wrong. After a further two weeks had passed, yesterday I e-mailed them again to inform them that not only had they not yet arrived, but all three order statuses still say "Paid (awaiting shipment)", so it evidently still hasn't even left the warehouse.
Their reply today suggests that perhaps I was reading rather too much into that apparent evidence:
I know it says that your items are awaiting shipment but that message has to be updated manually and as we are nearing the end of our auction unfortunately it is rarely accurate - I can only assume that your banners have indeed been shipped to you and will be with you shortly, but I will send through the request again just in case.
Of course! Because the auction has nearly ended, no-one's bothering to do their jobs properly any more! Makes, er, very little sense.
The subsequent sentence was also rather revealing. Here I am in London, awaiting some London 2012 banners, as used in London, for the London 2012 Olympics. In London. I assume the banners are somewhere near, well, London. And of course the people answering my e-mails about them will be in an office at the side of the warehouse, won't they?
Our customer service office is located in Vancouver, Canada - If i could go down to the warehouse for you I would!
Please let me know if your items are still not with you by the start of next week and we may have to pursue another solution.
What on earth that solution will be, I don't know. I've replied asking this, as well as asking what kind of courier they're using for £15+VAT a time who doesn't offer a comprehensive order-tracking system they could follow my banners through. And I've repeated my so-far-unanswered question about where this warehouse actually is, because I'd rather like to go there and get the banners myself, given the chance!
Memorabilia indeed: at this rate, by the time I get these banners, I'll need them to try to jog my memory as to what the London 2012 Games actually were.
Edit: Oh look, I'd only heard of this happening to me and a friend (whose experience is almost identical to mine), but this Independent article suggests we're not alone.
Unexpected good news: my friend's banner arrived today! So they do exist. There is hope!
I've also had a reply from the customer service people. They really do paint an unimpressive picture of an abysmally run business:
our warehouse is located in London, unfortunately you can not go pick up your items yourself as there is no customer service team there. We are in communication with the warehouse primarily via e-mail for customer service related issues and it takes time to communicate because of the volume of orders being processed and due to the time difference. We have re-sent your order request forms to the warehouse and if they are not already in transit they will be out shortly, the warehouse has let us know they have too many orders to process to manually update each order status online.
If only they had, say, enough staff to do the work that needs to be done, eh? Hard to imagine where they could find the money for that out of items being sold with £18 delivery charges.
we have noticed out of our Vancouver office that there have been many issues with banners purchased during a specific time period in December (around the 13th to 17th when the warehouse moved address) and some order forms were lost in transit. We have to manually re-send these order forms through to the warehouse for fulfillment.
Can't find out what's happening with an order, can't update order statuses, can't ship orders, can't move some paperwork between two warehouses… I'm very glad my friend's arrived today or I might have abandoned all hope of ever seeing my banners!
This is all I want from a mobile Twitter client (Android, since you ask):
* The cacheing problem is what I touched on under the frequency of update column setting, above: I am baffled by apps which notify me something is awaiting me in a column, then make me wait for the column to load the new items when I go to it - why didn't it just update when it noticed the new things?! Relatedly irritating: loading the tweets in a List, going elsewhere, then going back to the List and finding it loads the whole thing again. No! Cache it, show what was there last time, then add to it! Of course, my requirement for the app to be downloading tweets at the specified interval 24/7 links into this too - it'd be pointless if it did this and didn't then cache them.
Is that so unreasonable?
TweakDeck (updated version of TweetDeck) offers the majority of this - the first six top-level bullet points, pretty much in full - but nothing else manages enough of these to satisfy me.
In particular, handling of Lists, updating in the background and most of all cacheing seem to let apps down. Why isn't cacheing the default? Surely it makes the most sense on mobile, where download allowances etc. may apply, to cling tight to anything useful you grab and only add to it, not grab it all again? TweetDeck/TweakDeck manage this - why does nothing else?
Janetter (which I'm happy with on my PC, incidentally), Tweedle, TweetCaster, Plume, tweecha, twicca… I've tried them all, and probably others. No joy.
And now TweakDeck is to be killed off in a couple of months by the idiots at Twitter, who stumble from one mistake to another in their handling of a wonderful service whose features and take-up were for years driven by users and third-party apps, but who now want to restrict users and all but kill off apps.
If I had the slightest, remotest clue how to do so, I'd write this app myself. But I don't. Developers, if you can deliver the above, I'll happily buy the ad-free top-tier pro donation version of your app from Google Play on the day of its release.
Can you spot what really wasn't what I had in mind?
Clue: it's not the typoed hashtag in the 10,000th tweet.
A year ago, Southbank Centre held a weekend-long festival of death. Arts events, exhibitions, and especially two days packed with discussions and workshops, all on the theme of death.
Introducing the idea to members and others a month or two before, Jude Kelly, creative director, faced an audience unsure what to make of this perhaps controversial idea. Her talk was inspiring and candid, as she explained how her experience of cot death, and how knowledge gleaned from a TV documentary seen during pregnancy helped her cope with that tragedy, had made her see the value in knowledge, understanding and simply talking about what for many is still a taboo subject.
So we spent the last weekend of January 2012 absorbed in death - everything from Desert Island Death Discs, with Paul Gambaccini playing music popular at funerals, to brainstorming your ideal funeral to make life that bit less difficult for relatives when the inevitable happens.
Exactly 11 months after the Death festival weekend finished, my mother-in-law died suddenly, on 29 December 2012. Today, her funeral was held in Aberdeen.
And I'm writing this post because I want to thank Southbank Centre, especially Jude Kelly but also Domino Pateman and everyone else involved in #deathfest (as I joked its Twitter hashtag should be - and it then was, after their new media people saw it!). I credit their festival as perhaps the main reason we've been able to approach these past couple of weeks with the information and understanding that's made them pass off relatively smoothly.
The most straightforwardly attributable was that my wife had been e-mailing her mum about Death festival after we went to it, and in reply her mum had given us a quick overview of some of her wishes - cremation, scattering of ashes where her husband's were scattered, etc., which saved a bit of wondering if we were doing the right thing.
But we were also able to be unfazed by decisions and arrangements we'd not given that much thought to less than a year ago - humanist celebrants, whether there's a 'right' way to do things, what to wear, even what the actual purpose of a funeral is.
So yes, thanks, Southbank Centre.
But hang on, why are Europe's biggest *arts* centre putting on a weekend of discussions about death? Is that art?
Putting aside the fact that many events did have clear arts links, such as the Death Discs' take on music, it's also possible to make some sort of case that anything attracting the question "Is it art?" is probably art ;)
But even if not, it misses the point of what makes Southbank Centre more than *just* Europe's biggest arts centre - if 'just' is an appropriate word in that context!
Southbank Centre's origins were in the Festival of Britain - the phenomenally popular 1951 celebration of all spheres of British life, innovation and achievement, put on by the post-war Labour government to lift the nation's spirits. Its one permanent structure, the Royal Festival Hall, may have been a concert hall, but this was no arts-only festival.
Through festivals like Death, and its now well established annual predecessor Women of the World, Jude Kelly's realising her vision of regaining that 'festival site' status across Southbank Centre's remaining 21 acres*, by expanding the focus of activity on the site to encompass the discussion and celebration of all British life (in its broadest, multicultural sense, of course!).
Even the forthcoming Imagine festival, ostensibly a load of artsy half-term activities for children, includes discussions like "Why Can't I Go To The Same School As My Friends?", for ages 7+.
It's an enormously broad-minded philosophy of curiosity and exploration which keeps us coming back to Southbank Centre for more. All human life - and death - is there.
- You can follow what you missed at #deathfest through my three daily compilations of tweets from the events and discussions we attended, starting here:
*A big chunk of the original Festival of Britain site became Shell's HQ, since partly converted to flats, in return for them helping fund the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Hayward Gallery's addition adjacent to the Royal Festival Hall in the 1960s. Section 106, PFI etc are nothing new, it seems!
We had some sad news out of the blue on Saturday evening (29 December) - my wife Edith's mum, Isobel, has died. We think fairly suddenly (and hopefully peacefully) in the preceding few days but don't know the details of what happened yet - she lived alone in north-east Scotland, so we had to get her silence looked into by those nearer by than we are, and she was found in her home that evening. I wrote this post later that night.
I first met Isobel at the same moment I first met Edith, when they both came to London in July 2000 to meet their respective internet friends. On 1 January 2001 her reaction to the news her 17-year-old daughter, still at school, had got engaged to a man 4½ years her senior off the internet, with whom she had never actually been told Edith was romantically involved, was "Oh, jolly good!", which I think shows a breadth of mind both rare and very welcome.
On our wedding day she told me I was "a nice enough chap" but "she wouldn't want to live with" me - fair comment, and the feeling was in both respects mutual! She could be obstinate and difficult, of course, but at the same time no trouble was too much whenever we visited: she would ferry us around all of north-east Scotland at the drop of a hat, get in whatever food we fancied, take me for a macaroni pie and cheesy chips, and rarely would a trip pass without some form of giraffe memorabilia heading my way from her.
As that July 2000 'internet friends' trip indicates, she was no stranger to technology, contradicting the stereotypes generally associated with women of her age (73 as of November 2012). She wasn't far behind us in joining Twitter, and I know she kept up with all our London adventures through there.
Sadly she hadn't been down to join us on any of them since we moved to Lewisham - the one most suitable time (between bouts of treatment for the cancer that tonight's news surely stems from) fully coincided with the London 2012 Games, and her financially prudent ways meant she didn't want to give money to transport and other companies profiteering during that time by visiting the city when everything here had had a premium slapped on it! As was so often the case, underneath her stubbornness, she was quite right - right to withhold her custom from optimistically overpriced businesses, as the companies that did worse than expected learnt to their cost!
We last saw her three months ago, when the three of us enjoyed a visit to the beautiful Pitmedden Garden and a tour (in her car, as ever) of various local artists' open studios - and a macaroni pie and cheesy chips.
Rest in peace, Isobel - although if there *were* some sort of afterlife for you to rest in, I would neither expect nor want you to hang out there peacefully - that would be most out of character!
I've found a clear example of TfL's fare finder telling you one fare but the system applying a higher fare, and TfL not intending to resolve the issue.
(I have a Gold Card discount on my Oyster card but it sounds very likely that this would apply to people who don't, as well, probably with a higher overcharge (30p, I guess). But that's why these fares may not look familiar - they're all discounted by a third due to my Gold Card.)
TfL commendably introduced a 'contraflow discount', whereby if you travel into Zone 1 during the evening peak, you are charged the off-peak fare. Merely travelling towards Zone 1, however, doesn't work for this offer, which causes some interesting anomalies.
It's actually cheaper to travel into Zone 1 than into Zone 2 in most cases, and the example I've encountered is as a result of this. Here it is:
I touch in with my Oyster at my local DLR station, Elverson Road, then travel to Heron Quays, I have £1.50 deducted from my Oyster - the correct fare for peak travel within Zone 2. I then interchange with the Jubilee Line at Canary Wharf (an 'Out-of-Station Interchange', requiring touching out at one station and in at the next, but counted as one journey). When I reach my destination, Waterloo, in Zone 1, no further fare is deducted. But the correct off-peak (or contraflow) fare for a journey from Elverson Road to Waterloo is £1.30, so touching out at Waterloo should 'charge' me -20p, i.e. refund the excess amount charged to me at Heron Quays.
I imagine this will be the case for most journeys to Zone 1 (from anywhere) involving an Out-of-Station Interchange in Zone 2, or perhaps even further out, so I asked TfL (as well as refunding me 20p!) to look at this and let me know how it would be resolved. Their first response just offered me the 20p and ignored the wider issue, so I asked again. This time, they responded as follows:
I have contacted our Fares and Ticketing team in order to find out about the problem with the pricing of this particular journey on your Oyster card. It seems that when you are interchanging, the system is set up not to give back any part of the fare charged up to the interchange. In this case, the correct full Peak fare £1.50 was charged on exit from Heron Quays. Heron Quays is in Zone 2 so contraflow doesn't apply up to there. The £1.50 is then 'kept' even though an Off-Peak fare of £1.30 with railcard discount should apply if you are continuing to Waterloo London Underground.
Unfortunately it would be prohibitively costly to re-write the Oyster software at this stage to rectify this anomaly as it affects a very small number of people. We are happy to arrange a refund for you when this occurs. Please just email us within 28 days of the journey and we can take care of this. If you can, please keep this email on file along with the reference [redacted] so that your contacts take less time in future.
Given my relative geekery when it comes to all things London transport, and the fact that this had presumably happened to me several times in the past couple of years before even I noticed and contacted TfL, I can only speculate how many 20 pences and 30 pences have built up in their coffers from overcharging those less aware of contraflow discounts and Out-of-Station Interchanges. A nice little earner for TfL, which does at least plough its revenues back into public transport, perhaps, but hardly a fair one.
The 2012 London Mayoral election has a voting system which is actually rather well suited to the situation in which we now find ourselves. You get to cast two votes, a first and a second preference.
This means you can cast whatever vote you truly want to cast as your first preference – whoever, in the field of candidates, you'd most like to see become Mayor of London – without risking letting a candidate in that you don't like.
That's because you can use your second preference to vote for whichever of the two most popular candidates – yes, those are definitely Labour's Ken Livingstone and Conservative Boris Johnson – you would rather ended up running London for the next four years.
As long as you only give one of your votes to one of these two, it doesn't matter which vote, and you'll have done all you need to do to prevent the other getting in.
In other words, for instance, if you want to "Sack Boris", there's only one way to do so: give one of your two Mayoral votes to Ken, and neither to Boris. (It doesn't matter who your other vote goes to.)
Conversely, if you don't give one vote to Ken nor one to Boris, your vote will make absolutely no difference at all to the outcome. The only reason why you should not give a vote to either of them is if you genuinely do not care which of them runs London for the next four years.
If you truly cannot think, in your heart of hearts, which of them might do a better job for Londoners, who might make Londoners better off, who might best stand up for the city against the government, or indeed who might have the best ideas for London on any given subject close to your heart, so that you simply do not think it will matter a jot either way which of them wins – only in those circumstances is it logical to give neither vote to either of them.
Make no mistake: this week, either Ken or Boris will be elected Mayor of London for the next four years. If you have even the slightest preference which, don't waste your vote.

Hello, friends. SarahAnn here! The pretty lady in the picture? That's my Mama. You probably know her as CC - and your kiddos know her as Grandma CC. Today was her birthday. It was a big one - so we spent the past two days celebrating her!She is one of those amazing people that inspires everyone around her on more than one level, has more creativity than she knows what to do with, and an endless supply of love for her friends and family. She's the best of friends, and most supportive of allies.Happy 50th Birthday, my Mama. Thank you for being you."Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever." - Unknown "My mother… she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her." ― Jodi Picoult"God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers." ― David C. Gross
The "serious" side of their art project.On the top, you see the beautiful ladies working diligently on their painting.In the second, it is Mommy trying to "make it better" with a water bottle when Ann-Marie realized that the paint was nearly gone!
A few favorite Dad pictures from the past year to celebrate Father's Day!Here's to the dad's, the step-dad's, the mothers that step in as both roles, the grandpas, the uncles and the brothers that provide a positive male role model.And now, I am off to go celebrate with my own family.
GUESS WHAT! These guys are so stinkin' cute that I finished their session TODAY - when I didn't expect to until next week.
No wonder Deklyn's so cute - check out his Mama! Kid's got good genes.
Today is Mother's Day.
I am not only blessed with a beautiful mother - but one I am proud to call a business partner. She is my best friend, my confidante, an anchor, inspiration, and has a wicked sense of humor.
Today - we celebrate the women in our lives. Sisters, aunts, grandmothers, cousins… Moms. I'm sure you will all understand that while we do so, this page will be quiet.
Happy Mother's Day. You are appreciated - not only today, but every day, and that is not said nearly often enough. <3

Hellloooooo, nurse!
Jenny's the gorgeous Mama of three kiddos - twelve, six and just under three months.
Mystery's solved, folks.. THIS is where these girls get their amazingly good looks. ;-)
We had to TALK Beth into hopping in a picture.. Show her some love, would you? So she knows without a doubt it was worth the hassle. ♥
This is my crazy gorgeous Mama, who has a wicked sense of humor. You guys mostly know her as CC.The first day of the year, she fell on a patch of black ice. Today, she received a neon pink cast on her foot, as it's not healing the way they were hoping.I know you guys are fabulous, and that you'll cross your fingers or say a little prayer or send some healing vibes towards her, so she can get back on her feet and back to shooting ASAP. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. :-)

The evolution of the Quartier de l'innovation's entrepreneurial ecosystem
In light of the 2008 financial crisis, fostering entrepreneurship has increasingly moved toward the forefront of economic development and city planning. Beyond acting as an important driver of innovation, employment, and productivity growth, entrepreneurship has also been hailed by some as filling the void between wages and living standards. But when we turn to examples of spontaneous entrepreneurial successes in Silicon Valley, is there a specific set of conditions under which these start-ups thrive and attract venture capital? What exactly is it about the environment that predestines such ventures to success?Read More →

Lotus hasn't exactly had the best run in the past few months, so it's not surprising that the company is canceling its plans for all future models, including the one model that was thought to be the sole survivor of Bahar's plans: the long-rumored new generation Esprit .
The new Esprit was previewed by its concept version back at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, while the company was still in the hands of the controversial Dany Bahar. Now that Bahar is gone, and DRB-Hicom is running the show, most of Bahar's concepts have been given the heave-ho. All that is supposedly left now is the Elise , Exige , and Evora . These models were originally on the list of axed models, but have since received a reprieve. At least for now.
The Evora is the only relatively new model in Lotus' line-up, having just been launched in 2008. The Elise and Exige have been on the market ever since 1995. This means that Lotus' new plans to drop the Esprit will begin the company's new era with an old lineup. Hopefully, they have plans in place to change that.

Sports science: football
This new helmet, made by a company called Schutt, is designed to ELIMINATE concussions. Does it work? According to doctors and people smarter than me, yes it does.
But the NFL doesn't require all players to wear it...actually, they don't WANT players wearing this helmet. No, it's not about them wanting players to get concussed, it's about one thing...MONEY.
Like I said, this helmet is made by Schutt, not Riddell, and since the NFL has a contract paying them money to require players to wear Riddell. So once again, like most health care providers, the NFL has put profits ahead of safety and well-being.

(VAN NUYS, CA) -- It appears from letters sent to the editor here at Adult Industry News that there are women out there enjoying the work of director Alek Hidell. Unlike the girl who happened by as we were previewing "Slap Happy #2", who was so outraged she immediately took out her cell phone, rang Hidell and called him "one sick fucker", there appears to be women besides the ones in the video who enjoy being slapped, humiliated, choked and gagging on cock until they puke.
As for me, now that I've seen a girl throw up on a cock (might I ad Fawnna is worth watching in spite of it) I don't think I need to see it again, but here is a letter below from a woman in Philadelphia who likes this sort of thing:
6 Dec 2000 12:04
"I am a 30 year old woman who just loves porn! I thank the Industry for saving my marriage by providing me with the fantasy fix that keeps me sane and safe. I have my share of favorite stars such as Rocco Siffredi, Nacho, Luciano, John Dough and my latest, Alek Hidell. I love to watch this man take control ...I come every time. I love their big dicks, verbal and physical abuse.
As a woman, however, I am frustrated by the constant close ups (sometimes that's all you get). Also I am tired of the fact that my guys don't get enough exposure. My perfect movie is always the one where there is a balance of close-ups and general views. One last thing, please leave those socks on... or something... I am tired of guys just being plain naked.
Elizabeth C.
Philadelphia, PA
ps. Alek Hidell rocks...we want to see more of that great cock and beautiful face."

An arts teacher in the Bronx has been put on administrative duties after revealing on stage and in The Huffington Post that she was a stripper and a sex worker.
…Melissa Petro, 30, an art teacher at Public School 70 in Mount Eden, recently revealed her dark side at the Bowery Poetry Club on the lower East Side.
"My memoir that I'm working on now is about my experiences in the sex industry starting when I was 19 years old and living as a student abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico," Petro said at the event, videotaped by an audience member and obtained Monday night by the Daily News….
The city Education Department learned of Petro's past from a post this month on TheHuffingtonPost.com, in which she claimed she was also a craigslist.org hooker from October 2006 to January 2007….
"A former colleague at PS 70 called Petro a "star" in the classroom."
" 'If you want to be a teacher and that's your goal, it's stupid,' she said of Petro's openness
