Even without eyeballing the books, Huffman and other restaurateurs know Little Big Burger is doing something right. Since the first location opened in September 2010, Camden and Poppe have opened two more locations in Portland — in the high-foot-traffic zones of Mississippi Avenue and Division Street — and one in Eugene. All locations have footprints of less than 1,500 square feet and lack drive-throughs or parking lots.
Camden and Poppe have two more locations in the works, in the South Waterfront district and on Northwest 23rd Street, which will add 20-plus jobs to the existing 40.
"We saw a gap," Poppe says. "There are typical low-quality, cheap fast-food burgers and then a jump to higher-quality, expensive bistro burgers. There were very few providers of inexpensive, gourmet fast-food burgers."
Similar models include Laughing Planet Cafe, Hot Lips Pizza and, on a larger scale, Burgerville and Chipotle Mexican Grill.
Joe Rapport, one of the owners of Joe's Burgers of JoPa Hospitality Group in Portland, is in the process of opening a fourth Joe's Burgers in the city. (The first location was a kiosk in Bridgeport Village.) While Joe's burgers have thinner patties and can be topped with meat chili and American cheese, the model resembles Little Big Burger: a simple menu with some locally sourced ingredients.
"In the last few years, the pattern has shifted," Rapport says. "People going out want to spend less per person." He mentions his now-defunct restaurant 50 Plates as an example of what wasn't working. "I had a restaurant in the Pearl that had great food and a good reputation, but not a lot of people were coming in the door."
Joe's Burger has been such a hit that Rapport turned his Northwest Grill, a midrange sit-down restaurant in Raleigh Hills that had been in business for nine and a half years, into one of the burger joints.
Profit margins for quick-service restaurants usually garner more than the 10% restaurateurs expect to make from upscale restaurants. But Rapport says 15% to 20% profits are "where everybody really wants to settle. If people are doing better than that, then God bless them."
The four Little Big Burger locations average between 35%-40% profit margin, say its owners. "It was unexpected," Poppe says. "I wrote the business plan with a conservative 20%," Camden says. "We doubled it."
Even without Little Big Burger-size profit margins, burgers are a reliable restaurant concept, says Scott Hume, who is editor of BurgerBusiness.com, which covers the burger industry nationwide.
"Burgers are not a trendy food; they're a staple food," Hume says. "In bad times you can sell $4 burgers, and in boom times you can sell $14 burgers." The Chicago-based NPD Group recently reported that while the total number of restaurants in the U.S. declined between the fall of 2010 and the fall of 2011, the number of quick-service burger operations, both independent and chains, rose slightly.
The Portland area has followed the trend beyond Little Big Burger and Joe's Burger, with places such as Killer Burger and Dick's Kitchen, and new outcroppings of national chains such as Five Guys Burgers and Fries, and Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries. But Little Big Burger stands out for its rapid expansion and huge profits, the result of a certain kind of mastermind.

Rihanna releases the official RIHmix to her new "Unapologetic" urban single, the catchy Mike WiLL Made It-produced "Pour It Up", this time featuring a battery of rappers: Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Juicy J, and T.I! Listen to the revamped 5-minute track above.
Not that the song really needed this remix, but if this opens even more doors on urban format radios, then it is very well welcomed! The "Pour It Up" RIHmix mantains the same beat and Rihanna's same catchy verses and hook from the original, only adding the parts of each guest rapper who take turns to show off their best rhyming skills. "Pour It Up", the supa-fly tune where Rihanna reminds us how awesome is being rich, sexy and famous, is doing an amazing job on the charts in the US - reaching so far #19 on the Billboard Hot 100, and cracking the Top 10 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart - so here's hoping this brand new remix, and the upcoming music video (she better film one!), further boost the song's popularity and make it the #1 hit it obviously deserves. *all I see is dollar signs!*

It's not unusual to lose chunks of it. I did with my last pregnancy, cramped a little then it all stopped in a couple hrs. I just told OB on my next appointment and I was 2cm dilated for a month or so. I delivered 2 days before my due date. You didn't even a bloody show, I'd be more worried then. As long as you are not in active labor you are fine.

UK museum finds 'new' Constable oil sketchNovember 26, 2013 @ 6:43 am
LONDON (AP) - A London museum says it has discovered a previously unknown oil sketch by John Constable tucked beneath the lining of another work by the English romantic painter known for his landscapes.
The Victoria & Albert Museum said Tuesday that the sketch, of trees underneath an unsettled sky, was most likely painted in 1821 or 1822.
The museum said it was discovered when conservators at the museum attempted to remove the lining on the back of "Branch Hill Pond: Hampstead" while preparing for a 2014 exhibition, "Constable: The Making of a Master."
The previously unrecorded work will be put on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum on Wednesday.
Constable died in 1837. His daughter gave the V&A the remaining contents of his studio in 1888.

03 May 2014 [10:00] -
Move over Mila Kunis - Jennifer Lawrence has taken the crown of the "Sexiest Women in the World" list, according to FHM.
The men's mag released their annual list, with the Oscar winner - who they refer to as "so freaking cool" - taking the top spot, which was won last year by mom-to-be Mila (who placed sixth on this year's the list of 100 beauties).
British actress Michelle Keegan ("Coronation Street") came in second, Rihanna finished third and model Emily Ratajkowski and Kaley Cuoco rounded out the mag's top five spots, respectively.
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence's Hottest Red Carpet Looks!

Heir in Line to Billions Arrested After Police Discover Wifes Body in House
2012 07 12
MSN News
One of Britains richest men is receiving medical treatment after he was arrested on alleged drugs offences by police who then discovered his wifes body.
Hans Kristian Rausing, the heir to the Tetra Pak drinks carton empire, is being held after the body of his spouse Eva was found at the couples London home in Cadogan Place, Chelsea.
Mr Rausing, who stands to inherit a billion-pound fortune from his fathers business, was taken into custody at a south London police station but has since been moved to a "medical facility", police said.
Scotland Yard would not confirm the name of the suspect, but said a 49-year-old man was arrested in south London on Monday morning on suspicion of possession of drugs. Later that afternoon, officers conducted a search at an address in Cadogan Place where they discovered Mrs Rausings body.
The man was further arrested in connection with the mother-of-fours death. His bail has been suspended while he receives medical treatment, the force said.
Police are treating the death of Mrs Rausing as "unexplained" and a post-mortem examination held on Tuesday failed to establish a formal cause of death. Investigators said they are awaiting the results of further tests in the hope they will shed some light on the death riddle.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating, and the death continues to be treated at this time as unexplained."
Grieving relatives of the married couple, whose past drug problems have been widely reported, on Tuesday night revealed their sorrow over the death. A statement from the family of Mrs Rausing, whose maiden name was Kemeny, said: "Tom and Nancy Kemeny along with all of their family are deeply saddened by the death of their beloved daughter, Eva Louise Rausing.
"Eva was a devoted wife for 20 years and mother of four much-loved and wonderful children. During her short lifetime she made a huge philanthropic impact, supporting a large number of charitable causes, not only financially, but using her own personal experiences. She bravely fought her health issues for many years. The family is devastated at her death and asks to be given privacy at this difficult time."
The Rausing family said they were "deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of their daughter-in-law" and also asked for their privacy to be respected. Mr Rausing stands to inherit the £5.4 billion business enterprise built by his Swedish father, also named Hans.

This series of occasional papers explores key issues and themes surrounding the internationalization and global engagement of higher education. Papers include analysis, expert commentary, case examples, and recommendations for policy and practice.
This paper explores issues discussed by North American and European institutional leaders at the summer 2012 Trans-Atlantic Dialogue, including the impact of the economic downturn on internationalization efforts, the role of student mobility, curriculum, and co-curriculum in internationalization, language and cultural issues inherent in global engagement, and student learning assessment.
This paper examines emerging opportunties for colleges and universities to engage globally, and asserts that institutions are better served in partnerships abroad if they have undergone the process of comprehensive internationalization first. Topics include models for collaboration, institutional "foreign relations" policies, fiscal motivations for global engagement, and higher education's role in national interests and public diplomacy.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - It didn't take long for the Oakland Athletics to get back on track.
They had six cross the plate before there were even two outs in the opening frame.
Nate Freiman smacked a three-run homer as part of a six-run first inning in the Oakland Athletics' 11-2 win over the Houston Astros in the opener of a three-game set.
The A's had lost back-to-back games coming in on the heels of a nine-game winning streak.
Tommy Milone (3-0) fanned six and surrendered two runs on eight hits over 6 2/3 frames, while Jed Lowrie tallied two hits, four RBI and a run scored for Oakland.
"He's not going to beat himself. He's going to make his defenders work. He works quick ... He's been the model of consistency," A's manager Bob Melvin said.
Erik Bedard (0-1) lasted just one-third of an inning in the start for Houston, which has dropped three straight contests. He allowed all six of the first- inning runs on four walks and two hits.
Bedard walked his first three batters before striking out Lowrie. A wild pitch allowed Coco Crisp to score before Brandon Moss stroked a two-run single to right. Freiman stepped up next and belted a hanging curveball deep into the left-field seats for his first major league home run to make it 6-0 and knock Bedard out of the game.
"Six runs in the first inning is always a tough deficit to overcome, especially with a guy like Tommy Milone on the mound," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "You knew you had to hit your way back into the game with him on the mound. It put us behind the 8-ball."
Carlos Pena's RBI single in the fourth and Jose Altuve's run-scoring base hit in the seventh cut the deficit to 6-2 before Oakland responded with three runs in the home half of the seventh and two more in the eighth.
Lowrie slapped a two-run single back up the middle and Moss' RBI double increased the advantage to 9-2 in the seventh. Lowrie's two-run single in the eighth made it 11-2.
Pena had two of the Astros' eight hits ... The A's were 5-for-11 with runners
in scoring position, while Houston finished 2-for-7 with RISP ... Moss has 13
RBI on the year.
Northern Arizona backup quarterback Jordan Perry connected with freshman wide receiver Dan Galindo on a 20-yard touchdown pass with 12 seconds remaining to lift the Lumberjacks to a 28-27 upset of No. 2 Eastern Washington on Saturday.
Jamie McMurray claimed the pole for the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 -- the first race in the Eliminator Round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship -- by beating Joey Logano in Friday's qualifying at Martinsville Speedway.
The Miami Dolphins have reinstated 2013 first- round pick Dion Jordan to the active roster after the defensive end completed a six-game season-opening suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Giancarlo Stanton's season ended on Sept. 11 when he was hit in the face by a pitch during a scary incident in Milwaukee.
The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Saturday that the club has exercised the fourth-year option on the contract of guard Dion Waiters.
The St. Louis Blues placed center Paul Stastny on injured reserve Friday and recalled forward Dmitrij Jaskin from Chicago of the American Hockey League.

God calls us to strengthen our faith
while we share with others
the transforming power and love of Jesus Christ
as guided by the Holy Spirit.
Come share your faith journey with us.
17 N. Jackson Street
Janesville, WI 53548
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

New sale item: Leica 35mm Summilux f1.4 ASPH
Quite possibly one of the best lenses in the world
Well well folks, I have something quite special for you all today. I have recently been able to source a stunning Leica Summilux 35mm ASPH 6-bit encoded lens. To say that this lens is beautiful would be an understatement, as the quality of build is sublime. The glass itself is wonderful too, sporting the nice balance of a 35mm focal length with the balance of the Aspherical elements, this lens is pin sharp when it needs to be, but fast enough for you to shoot at 1.4 without it being horribly soft.
The lens pictured on the M6 is the lens that is available at the moment (though not with the M6, that is mine). The lens itself is in fantastic condition, having been kept in a temperature controlled environment since its purchase. There are very very slight marks on the barrel of the lens, but I do mean slight, you can barely notice them. The glass is clean and clear, the coating is intact and it comes with the box and the original case. But the best thing about this lens? Well, I personally think it takes some damned sharp pictures…like these for example:
I really like the balance that this lens offers in terms of contrast and sharpness, it really seems to have a glow to it. I love this lens and have used one for a while. As a medium wide it is a bit bigger than the Summicron, but it does not feel overly large, so the camera still feels level when you use it.
So, this is it, the lens you see on this camera is the lens that is available to you right now. It is a beauty and I expect it to disappear quickly. If you are interested in this lens (or any others that I have) drop me a line through either my contact page or by clicking here by clicking here.
I would love to hear your thoughts and comment on this lens or this post. Please take the time to leave a comment in the comment section below.

Sebastian Vettel will have a new race engineer in 2015 after Red Bull promoted Guillaume Rocquelin to the position of Head of Race Engineering. Vettel and Rocquelin - better known as Rocky - have won four drivers' world championships together, with the pairing having worked together since Vettel was promoted to Red Bull from Toro Rosso in 2009. Now Red Bull has announced that Rocquelin will be promoted to Head of Race Engineering, making him responsible for all of the team's race engineers at the circuit. Vettel's new race engineer will be Gianpiero Lambiase - who is currently Sergio Perez's race engineer - and is set to join Red Bull from Force India at the end of the season.

NBC's SMASH, Lowe's & iTheatrics to Improve School Theaters Across U.S.
NBC's hit series SMASH, home improvement retailer Lowe's, and iTheatrics have partnered to help schools across America improve their theaters through the "NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical constructed by Lowe's" initiative. The program launches today (February 19) and will be administered by educational theater consultancy firm iTheatrics as "Smash" continues in its second season following its broadcast return earlier this month.
Schools across America with theaters in need of repairs may apply for the "NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical constructed by Lowe's" initiative at makeamusical.org starting today. The program is sponsored by Lowe's and NBC's "Smash." The deadline for applications is Wednesday, March 6. On Tuesday, March 12, 30 finalists will be named and communities will compete to receive the most online votes before Wednesday, April 10. The top-five grand-prize winners will receive a gift card from Lowe's to help renovate their theater.
Last season, "NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical" created musical theater programs in schools by giving educators and students the tools and training they needed to build self-sustaining programs in under-served schools. The partnership was the catalyst for iTheatrics to produce 170 "Make a Musical" programs in schools across the U.S., with "NBC's Smash': Make a Musical" being directly responsible for creating 30 additional musical theater programs. "NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical" was awarded a 2012 Thalo Critics' Choice Inspiration Award.
To kick-off the "NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical constructed by Lowe's" initiative, Broadway star and "Smash" cast member Jeremy Jordan, local Lowe's Heroes employee volunteers, Irwin Contracting, Inc., and volunteers from national non-profit Rebuilding Together joined together in early February to rebuild and restore East Rockaway High School's auditorium.
East Rockaway High School was overcome by a tidal surge during Hurricane Sandy which caused an estimated $10 million worth of damage. The auditorium took on over four feet of water which destroyed the stage, theater seating, curtains, props and flats. Students at East Rockaway were planning to perform the musical Seussical at the beginning of February. Even though their theater wasn't functioning, they performed excerpts from the show on a neighboring school district's stage as a fundraiser to raise additional funds to repair their auditorium.
"Our involvement in the East Rockaway High School project is a natural extension of Lowe's commitment to provide both immediate and long-term support to the communities impacted by this historic storm," said Joan Higginbotham, Lowe's director of Community relations. "Our Lowe's Heroes are eager to help the students at East Rockaway get their theater performance-ready and we're excited to see the transformations that happen at other schools through the 'Smash: Make a Musical constructed by Lowe's' program."
East Rockaway Superintendent Dr. Roseanne Melucci added: "This isn't just an auditorium; this is the heart of our school COMMUNITY. This is the stage our school Community uses for public meetings, celebrations of student success and town halls. This is the stage where our students' grandparents, mothers and fathers stood on to graduate from this school. And this year's class of 2013 must continue in the tradition. We must restore this space to be better than ever to show this Community that there is hope and there is progress and that we are going to be ok."
During our site visits last year to the 'NBC's 'Smash': Make a Musical' schools, we saw firsthand how the current economic climate has not only decimated our nation's art programs, it has delayed desperately needed repairs in school theaters," says Timothy Allen McDonald, the founding chairman of iTheatrics. "'Smash,' Lowe's, and Rebuilding Together are doing more than improving school theater programs across the nation, they are shining the spotlight on inspiring schools deserving of support. We hope that Community members and businesses will follow their lead and find their own ways to make a difference."
"Rebuilding Together is honored to be working with Lowe's and 'NBC's 'Smash' Make a Musical' to help deliver critical repairs at East Rockaway High School, including replacing the staging and flooring in the auditorium," said John L. Fiegel, interim president and CEO of Rebuilding Together. "Separately, as part of the Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, Rebuilding Together is working toward a longer term rebuild goal of more than 100 homes in the affected regions. Our affiliates in the New York, New Jersey and other areas are identifying and assessing neighborhoods and homeowners and Community centers, which may need our assistance."
About "Smash"
"Smash" is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire - to be a Broadway star. The series stars Emmy Award winner Debra Messing ("Will & Grace"), Oscar winner Anjelica Huston ("Prizzi's Honor"), Jack Davenport ("Pirates of the Caribbean" films), Tony Award winner Christian Borle ("Peter and the Starcatcher"), Katharine McPhee ("American Idol"), Megan Hilty ("9 to 5: The Musical"), Tony Award nominee Jeremy Jordan ("Newsies"), Andy Mientus ("Spring Awakening"), Leslie Odom Jr. ("Leap of Faith") and Krysta Rodriguez ("Spring Awakening").
About Lowe's
Lowe's supports the communities it serves through programs that focus on K-12 public education and Community improvement projects. The company's signature education grant program, Lowe's Toolbox for Education, has donated more than $34 million to 7,500 K-12 public schools, benefiting more than 4 million schoolchildren. Lowe's Heroes employee volunteers support local Community projects and our national nonprofit partners such as Habitat for Humanity, Rebuilding Together and the American Red Cross. In 2012, Lowe's and the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation together contributed more than $30 million to support communities in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

More moviegoers see films on video in some form than ever before -- whether streaming on demand, cable or satellite, instant download services, DVD or Blu-ray. Even high-profile pictures become available to home viewers before or at the same time as their theatrical release. Reviewing them is a job for... The Demanders!
"Sexual Chronicles of a French Family" (76 minutes) is available via IFC On Demand.
Let's play a game. It's 3 AM and you can't sleep. A channel roulette session with the remote control stops your TV on a certain network synonymous with softcore erotica. Do you: a) Roll your eyes and keep flipping the dial before falling asleep to some warped infomercial?
b) Realize you need something more substantial and order "Chicks Who Dig Odienator 29" off the Adult On Demand Channel?
c) Drop the remote and make a date with Rosy Palm and her Five Sisters?If you answered a, Alex Trebek is here to say "OOH I'M SORRY!!" We've got some nice consolation prizes for you as you leave this blog. If you answered b, I thank for your $9.95, but you will also have to leave this blog. Today's entry is most definitely not your speed. But if you answered c, have I got a movie for you. It's called "Chroniques sexuelles d'une famille d'aujourd'hui" or "Sexual Chronicles of a French Family," and you can watch it in the privacy of your own home. I won't tell, and I certainly won't cast aspersions. After all, I pitched this movie to review here at The Demanders. After discovering the title, and its French origins, my exact pitch to our editor was "Mmmm! FILTH!" So this sinner casts no stones.
Unfortunately, this sinner has issues with this "Chronicles of Labia," the least of which is how to review a movie like this. I could take the high road, but if you've read this far, you are expecting me to traverse the lowest road possible. To review a comedy, one must admit if it inspired laughter. To review an erotic picture, one must more uncomfortably cop to whether it resulted in the upping of a body part that isn't a thumb. In that regard, I respectfully submit that this film didn't do it for me. I expected something a little less squeamish (read: dirtier) than what I got.
"Sexual Chronicles of A French Family" is Cinemax with subtitles, or "Le Çinemax." It has the same frustrating "hide the good stuff" camera angles as your average straight-to-cable softcore knock-off, and the same repeated positions. In its defense, the film does not contain Cinemax's ubiquitous bad boob jobs, the ones so dreadful that they turn breasts into triangles, squares and other shapes nature never intended for headlights. The boob job in this film looks fine. "Chronicles" also has a more intriguing plot than any sex film on cable at 3 AM, though this is somewhat squandered.
Narrator Romain (Mathias Melloul) is an 18-year old virgin who is depressed he has not been deflowered. His older brother, Pierre (Nathan Duval) and his adopted sister, Marie (Leïla Denio), are both sexually active, as are many of Romain's classmates. It's these classmates, specifically Coralie (Adeline Rebeillard), who set the plot In motion. Coralie and friends dare each other to masturbate in class while filming the activity on their cell phones. The resulting film is then reviewed and graded by the others. A graphic, NC-17-guaranteed shot of a character she-bopping opens "Sexual Chronicles of a French Family," promising a Gallic cinema fearlessness that never materializes. When it's Romain's turn, he gets caught by his biology teacher.
Romain's lawyer mother, Claire (Valérie Maes) is called into school, and the headmaster tells the somewhat amused Mom about her son's impromptu biology experiment. This leads her to question not only what the hell is wrong with her son but also whether she and her husband are at fault for not talking more openly about sex with them. Mom sets out to interrogate her adult children and her elderly father-in-law about what they do dans le boudoir.
I suppose for a daughter, talking to Mom about sex isn't a big deal. To a son, however, this is a terrifying prospect. When Claire asks Pierre about his sex life, he wiggles his way out by telling her that he is happy and immediately running off to engage in that sex life, which features several ménage-a-trois scenes, and not the kind you horny readers are considering. These have two guys and a girl, which would be refreshingly open-minded provided the filmmakers weren't so goddamn afraid to show anything explicitly revealing Pierre's bisexuality. (This revelation is handled by a throwaway line late in the film.) Knowing what he's into, Pierre's response to Claire is a lot less dramatic than if my mother asked me how my sex life was. That would result in an Odie-shaped hole in her wall as I ran screaming into the night.
Meanwhile, Marie has found what she describes as sexual bliss with an older bartender. Her breast augmentation, which Romain calls "too big," features in most of the Cinemax-inspired sex scenes at play in "Sexual Chronicles of A French Family." Until late in the film, these characters do not register at all, except as undulating bodies. But some genuinely clever heat emanates from a scene where the bartender describes to a nude Marie what he thinks about while he's pleasuring himself in her absence. He does this while actually pleasuring himself. The look on the actors' faces as they play the scene holds a playful erotic charge that's sexier than any of their coital activity.
In fact, I found myself being drawn more to some of the dialogue between characters than the numerous scenes of rumpy-pumpy employed by its directors. This is the kiss of death for a film whose primary goal is titillation, but it's the only aspect that worked for me. Romain's tearful dialogue with his father is a great scene that provides some emotional context for the scene of his eventual deflowering by Coralie. Claire has a scene that could have backfired, where she talks to her father-in-law about his sex life, but it pays off later in a scene between Claire and his prostitute lover, Nathalie, after he dies in Nathalie's bed. (In a joke too dirty to tell here, Richard Pryor referred to the act of dying during sex as "recycling.")
Claire is the most interesting character in "Sexual Chronicles of A French Family" and her interactions, both sexually and verbally with her husband lend some maturity and honesty to the film. As she examines her aging body, the mother asks if she should get plastic surgery. The father asks her if she fears growing old with him. Her response I'll leave for you to discover. You may also discover that the actress playing Claire looks familiar. If so, you've seen Brian de Palma's "Femme Fatale."Perhaps the only other thing I can tell you about this film is "your mileage may vary." It didn't work for me as a turn-on, but that's a criticism valid only for this reviewer. For me, this kind of cinematic sexual skittishness is like a Twinkie with the cream filling sucked out of it. But you know who you are, and you know what you like. There's a lot of softcore sex in this film, and the participants aren't objectionable. If that floats your boat, you'll get no argument from me. Feel free to go down with your ship.

As companies big and small try to invent the "next big thing" in payments, one company is looking to resurrect something from the past -- the checkbook. Well, maybe not the checkbook per se, but the network that made checks so useful for so long. Zipmark, a New York City-based start-up, is trying to update checks for a mobile world and make things easier and cheaper for merchants at the same time.
Launched in 2010, Zipmark recently secured $2 million in Series Seed funding from NYC Seed, High Peaks Venture Capital and the New York City Investment Fund.
As a part of its rollout, Zipmark announced yesterday the launch of its Developer Program and API. The new API provides the first real-time authorized checking transactions, Zipmark said, and gives businesses and app developers access to an entirely new kind of fast and secure payment system for online and mobile transactions. The Developer Program is designed to be efficient and effective for developers looking to integrate payments into their apps, the company said.
It will be debuting its iPhone app at next month's South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas. The app will let users pay bills and fees using QR codes on their statements.
"We created Zipmark to address the billing and operations challenges faced every day by startups and established businesses alike," said Jake Howerton, Zipmark's co-founder and head of product. "The same thing happens across all industries: too much time and resources focused on collecting money instead of their actual business. That is why we're giving the checkbook an update - to increase cash flow and decrease hassle with payments."
According to Zipmark, its platform brings the infrastructure for check-processing to billers and their customers and lets businesses accept secure payments from any bank, thrift or credit union checking account without the fees associated with credit cards. Service charges are a flat 1 percent for each transaction with a $5 cap.
"Our goal is to simplify the way businesses get paid," said CEO and co-founder Jay Bhattacharya in the announcement. "There are so many inefficiencies in the payments system right now — from the length of time it takes for a payment to process to the cost of transaction fees and unnecessary labor dedicated to handling collections - which we see as a major opportunity. We want to give product developers an ideal payment mechanism: low-fee, high utility, fast settlement."
