AMERICAN EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY, APPELLANTv.AMERICAN SECURITY BANK, N.A.; AMERICAN SECURITY BANK, N.A., APPELLANTv.AMERICAN EMPLOYERS INSURANCE COMPANY APPEALS FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA (CIVIL ACTION NO. 81-01800)
Before: WALD, BORK, and STARR, Circuit Judges.
Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge BORK.
BORK, Circuit Judge: This case involves the interpretation of a trust agreement between American Employers Insurance Company, as surety for the Head Construction Company, and American Security Bank, N.A. District Judge Green entered judgment in favor of the Bank, but denied the Bank's request for attorneys' fees. We affirm. I.
While resolution of the legal issues involved in this controversy is relatively uncomplicated, the factual background requires some exposition. Through the early seventies, the Head Construction Company maintained a banking relationship with American Security Bank to finance Head's construction business. As of December, 1974, Head was obligated to the Bank on two unsecured notes totaling $250,000. These notes were due at the end of the month. On December 12, 1974, by letter, Head sought to renew those notes and to borrow an additional $250,000 to finance two recently-awarded construction projects. These projects were labeled F-2b and D-12. In its letter, Head informed the Bank that it had been awarded the contracts and proposed repayment of the new loan "from present accounts receivable . . . and/or income from the new contracts." Pl. Exh. ASB-3. Cash flow projections submitted in connection with the loan request listed proceeds from the D-12 contract as an anticipated account receivable, beginning in March, 1975. Pl. Exh. ASB-5.
In early February, Head told the Bank that it would probably need yet another $250,000, raising the total loan amount requested to $750,000. Pl. Exh. ASB-10.The Bank denied the informal request and, although a security agreement and financing statement showing a $750,000 loan were prepared, the documents were never executed. Instead, on February 20, 1975, Head signed a promissory note for $500,000 payable to the Bank. See Record Excerpts of American Security Bank ") at 1-4. The note extended $250,000 in new loan monies and refinanced Head's existing obligations. As collateral on the new loan, Head assigned, among other things, all its accounts receivable to the Bank. R.E. at 5. Both the financing statement and the security agreement for the new loan listed the collateral as "all account receivable. . . ." R.E. at 5, 6. The financing statement was promptly, but erroneously, filed in the District of Columbia instead of Prince George's County, Maryland, Head's principal place of business.
Head's financial condition soon deteriorated further. On March 12, the company signed a letter of default asking its surety -- American Employers Insurance Company ("American Employers") -- to assume its obligations on several bonded contracts. After examining the company's books, American Employers realized that its efforts to keep Head solvent might be frustrated if the Bank demanded immediate payment of the $500,000 note and then set off the debt against Head's payroll accounts at the Bank. With that concern in mind, American Employers representatives met with the Bank on March 17 and again on March 19 to discuss Head's financial difficulties. *fn1
During the course of those meetings, it was decided that American Employers, as surety, would continue to finance Head's construction projects rather than allow the company to default on its obligations. To accomplish this, a financial arrangement -- set out her in highly simplified terms -- was proposed. A "two-tiered" account would be established at the Bank. The first account -- opened in Head's name -- would be used as a standard checking account from which bills would be paid as they became due. To protect this operating account from the risk of attachment, the account would be maintained at a zero balance. A second "trust" account -- under the control of American Employers -- would be created and used to fund the operating account. Thus, as checks written off the zero-balance account would come into the bank, the Bank would honor them by transferring funds from the trust account. Because the trust account would not be in Head's name, it would not be subject to an attachment of Head's assets.
The Bank was chosen for this arrangement because it was already Head's bank. Mr. Head had told the surety that in the construction industry, if a contractor changes banks, it is interpreted as a sign of financial troubles. American Employers did not want to harm Head's image in the community. See Transcript ("Tr.") at 327, 624. Using the Bank raised a potential problem, however. Under common law, where the depository bank is owed money by the contractor, the bank has the right to set off its indebtedness against the two-tiered account. The solution was the creation of a trust agreement in which American Security Bank agreed not to set off against any of the funds deposited in the account in exchange for American Employers' recognition of the Bank's security interest in Head's accounts receivable.
The precise details of the meetings are in dispute. Witnesses for the Bank testified that the American Employers representatives were specifically informed of Head's assignment to the Bank and the contents of the financing statement filed in connection with the assignment. Tr. at 111-12 (testimony of Gerald P. LeNoir, vice president and commercial loan officer in 1975); 175-77 (testimony of Saul Schwartzbach, an attorney representing the Bank during negotiations of the trust agreement). The Bank's witnesses testified that the American Employers representatives asked for and received access to the Bank's files relating to Head, including the promissory note, security agreement, and financing statement, and were allowed to take copies of any documents of which they did not already have copies.
Testimony about the meetings from American Employers, on the other hand, was far less specific. While each witness testified to having knowledge of Head's sizeable indebtedness to the Bank, e.g., Tr. at 635 (testimony of James Dolan, attorney for American Employers), all denied, or failed to recall, having seen or having knowledge of the contents of the security agreement or financing statement at that time. Mr. Monaghan testified that he "assumed [the Bank] had protected all their [sic] rights by filing Uniform Commercial Code filings." Tr. at 504. He also stated that he assumed the Bank had taken a security interest in Head's accounts receivable because that was the "normal course of business." Tr. at 598. He did not recall seeing any financial documents or exchanging any documents at the meetings. Tr. at 505, 579-98. William Callahan, a claims adjustor for American Employers' parent company, also testified that he did not recall any specific discussion about Head's indebtedness aside from the Bank's demand for payment. Tr. at 371, 374-75. Finally, James Dolan testified only that he knew Head had assigned "something" to the Bank, but he did not know "how far the assignment went." Tr. at 648-49.
After the March 19 meeting, American Security Bank agreed in principle to the proposed arrangement and the creation of the trust agreement. American Employers agreed to recognize the Bank's security interest in Head's accounts receivable, and the Bank agreed not to set off Head's indebtedness against the "two-tiered" account. *fn2 Specifically, the agreement called for the creation of a "special trust checking account" in the names of three American Employers representatives. Receipts from certain listed contracts, the D-12 and F-2b projects among them, were to be deposited in that account and could be withdrawn only to satisfy specific obligations relating to those contracts, including the payment of the "debit balance in the separate account with the bank" (the "zero-balance" operating account). American Employers was further obligated under the agreement to maintain records of all withdrawals, specifying the use to which each was put, and to submit to the Bank semi-annual accountings "for each separate Head contract" showing all authorized deposits and withdrawals. The D-12 contract was among the contracts subject to the agreement's strict record-keeping requirements. Finally, the agreement sought to protect and clarify the Bank's status as a creditor of Head. The initial draft of the agreement provided as follows:
To the extent funds received under a specific contract and paid into the account exceed expenditures under that contract, . . . the surplus under that specific contract, as shown by the accounting, shall be, as between the parties hereto, subject to any now-existing priority created by Head's assignment of receivables to the Bank.
R.E. at 11. Thus surplus funds from specified contracts would first be subject to the Bank's priority, if any, in Head's accounts receivable at ...

Did you grow up in the 90's? If so, you lived through some classic movie premiers! There were some movies that were targeted to children that contained inappropriate content and themes, but most film companies knew that parents were picky (and still are!) and focused on creating films that were perfect for the entire family. I remember many Friday movie nights. We went to our local Chart Hits Video Store and rented two or three movies to watch through the weekend. We made homemade popcorn using the good ol' air pop popcorn maker and sat in the living room playing on the floor while watching the movies.

Unfortunately, Cliff Vandercave is embezzling money and sets Fred up to take the fall.
5. Cool Runnings (1993)
"Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, it's bobsled time!"

Irv (played by John Candy) was an Olympic bobsledder back in his day until he cheated by adding extra weights to make his team's sled speed down the track. Derice Bannock dreams of becoming an Olympic track star and falls during his trial, but he is determined to still make it somehow. He learns of Irv, now a bartender in Jamaica, and convinces him to become the coach of the team he is struggling to assemble.

Grading Liverpool's signing of Georginio Wijnaldum
Liverpool have finally wrapped up their signing of Georginio Wijnaldum. The Reds announced the transfer, reportedly costing LFC a cool £25 million, and sending him on his way to the United States where he will join Jurgen Klopp's team for their preseason tour.
Wijnaldum is a good fit for Klopp's system, so it's no wonder that Liverpoool targeted him early in the summer. The Reds have spent the better part of the last month trying to finalize the deal. Now they have him and Klopp can use Wijnaldum's ability to play across the field to implement his system.
One of the problems Klopp had last season is that because he took over midseason, not only did he have a team that he didn't pick, but he didn't get a preseason to get players to understand his system. Now that won't be a problem, as he gets a whole preseason, and Wijnaldum is another player who will slot in well. He is versatile so he can play on either wing or in the center. That will serve him well, as Klopp likes to have his attackers move around often. He'll also be an asset in Klopp's counterpress, where he will be able to both force giveaways and take advantage as soon as the Reds get the ball back.
It is surprising that it cost Liverpool £25 million to land Wijnaldum. While he's definitely a good player and a few other clubs were poking around at him, he's hardly a superstar and Newcastle had just been relegated so they didn't have a ton of leverage. They were always going to have to sell Wijnaldum and yet they still got all that money from the Reds. Then again, everyone costs a ton of money nowadays and a £25 million player today isn't a £25 million player from even a year ago.
Grade: B
Klopp had to do a lot of work rebuilding the Liverpool squad and he's off to a good start, with a couple defenders already in and now Wijnaldum to join Sadio Mane as new attackers. That duo should serve Liverpool well with and without the ball, as they can be impact players in defense as well with Klopp's system. Even if Liverpool paid too much, at least they got a good, useful player who fits well — and getting him in now so he can be in preseason as opposed to joining a couple weeks into the campaign may make it worth a slight overpayment.

In June 2015 it was possible to photograph an individual of Andean Bear. It was recurring in future records in the reserve. The pattern of spots on the face of the Andean bear is unique among individual and individual, for this reason we can monitor populations in the area. Between May and June, we identified two more individuals. So far, we have confirmed the presence of three different individuals of the Spectacled Bear in the Antisanilla Reserve.

<< -- 3 -- Robert Anderson MUSICAL DELIGHTS
Very different is the background to the second aria of Miah Persson as
Almirena, who will, in defiance of Tasso, eventually marry Rinaldo. Here
all is atwitter with prominent flageolet and flutes. The original production
reinforced Handel's evocation of bird life with live examples, a novelty
suitably mocked by Richard Steele: 'The Sparrows and Chaffinches at the
Hay-Market fly as yet very irregularly over the Stage; and instead of perching
on the Trees and performing their Parts, these young Actors either get into the
Galleries or put out the Candles' [listen -- CD1 track 14,
0:00-1:20]. As well as displaying his finest musical wares in Rinaldo,
Handel was determined to present himself as an outstanding keyboard virtuoso.
There is a dazzling such display to introduce Armida's aria at the end of Act 2.
It is difficult to imagine that Handel would have played any faster than Nicolau
de Figueiredo [listen -- CD2 track 24, 0:00-1:08]. For
those enamoured of such things, there is veritable harpsichord warfare between
Figueiredo and Piers Maxim to bring down the curtain (music by Babell rather
than Handel).

'Equities Are a Great Place to Be,' a Prudent Speculator Says
Stock indexes are at record highs, but there's plenty to gives investors a case of the shakes. So, should you dump everything and hide, or stay the course? One value investor is advising the latter.
"Equities are a great place to be," said John Buckingham, chief investment officer at AFAM Capital in California, which has more than $4.5 billion in assets. In a chat on the Markets Hub, he said too many investors are still scarred by the crash of 2008. He pointed to the latest poll from the AAII Investor Sentiment Survey, which showed bearish sentiment rising and bullish sentiment plunging.
Bullish sentiment hasn't been this low since March 2009, Buckingham said, which tends to be a very good contrarian indicator.
But Buckinghman, who also is the editor of the Prudent Speculator newsletter is a value investor, and he looks for solid companies with good dividends that are currently undervalued. Some of the companies that fall into that category right now, he said, are Apple Newmont MiningDeere & Co., and Foot Locker
If you're saying to yourself, Apple (down 39% since September)? Newmont (down 35% since September)? Well, that's kind of the point of value investing.

John C. Hyde, 64
Journalist, Farmers Market Founder John C. Hyde of Takoma Park Dies at 64
Saturday, March 14, 2009
John C. Hyde, 64, a journalist and author who established a farmers market targeted to immigrants and that allows shoppers to use food stamps and other federal food assistance coupons, died March 6 at Washington Adventist Hospital after injuring his head in a fall at his home in Takoma Park.
Mr. Hyde worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as Maryland and Montgomery County officials to set up the Crossroads farmers market in Takoma Park at University and New Hampshire avenues.
The market is known for two reasons: Its vendors are often immigrants from the Caribbean, India and West Africa who sell produce native to their countries. And when it opened in 2007, it was the only farmers market in Maryland where customers could use food stamps as well as coupons from the federal Women, Infants and Children program.
He also developed the "Fresh Checks" program, which doubles the value of food stamps if they are used to buy produce at the market.
"He was really, really enthusiastic," said Michele Thomas, who with Mr. Hyde co-wrote the grant application that funded the market's founding. "He was very supportive in that he lived in the area for so long, and he had ties with city government and was very well-connected because he and his wife ran Takoma Kitchens [a bakery] at the Takoma Park market. He was very passionate about providing local foods to people . . . and he was trusted by the community."
From 2000 to 2008, Mr. Hyde was executive director of the Fund for Investigative Journalism, an organization that gives grants to journalists who do not work for major news organizations and want to undertake significant investigations into corruption, malfeasance and incompetence. The first recipient, in 1969, was Seymour Hersh, for his investigation into the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War.
"John was always alert to the misuses of power here and abroad, and he was an outspoken advocate of the journalists who brought them to the fund's attention," said George Lardner, a former Washington Post reporter who was president of the fund's board of directors during much of Hyde's tenure. "He was especially attentive to journalists in Africa and Eastern Europe, many of whom work under difficult circumstances."
Mr. Hyde was a reporter at the Des Moines Register from 1973 to 1988, covering politics and agriculture in Iowa and the District.
He left the paper to write "American Dreamer," a 2000 biography of Henry Wallace, a vice president and U.S. agriculture secretary who developed hybrid seed corn. The book, co-written with Sen. John C. Culver (D-Iowa), was well-received.
Historian Nelson Lichtenstein, writing in the New York Times, called it "an expansive and engaging biography," and reporter Richard Pearson, writing in The Washington Post, called it "an authoritatively written history filled with unforgettable characters, and a masterly political, social and economic sweep."
John Clinton Hyde, a Denver native, was a graduate of Colorado State University and received a master's degree in English from Miami University in Ohio. He taught high school in Ohio and English at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind., before joining the Iowa newspaper. He moved to the Washington area in 1981.
His marriage to Judy Hyde ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife of 19 years, Louise Schwartzwalder of Takoma Park; two sons from his first marriage, Ken Hyde of Woodbridge and Kip Hyde of San Francisco; and two grandchildren.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B)
It is a serious problem for the reforestation of damaged area especially in the South East Asia that plant growth is extremely inhibited because of acidic soil. This is basically due to the high concentration of aluminium ions dissolved into the soil water from soil because of acidic condition . In the sound soil in the forest, humic substances in the surface soil may have a function to control the concentration of dissolved aluminium. In this research, new soil conditioning agents were tried to prepare from industrial lignin (kraft lignin) by alkaline-oxygen oxidation and radical sulfonation treatments.It was clearly confirmed that growth inhibition of radish root because of aluminium ions was completely removed by the addition of a modified lignin to the culture medium. Effect of aluminium ions of 5ppm, in which the growth of radish root is practically prohibited at pH4.5, was removed by 120ppm of alkaline-oxygen treated haft lignin.As far as the function mechanism of a modified lignin, it was interesting to note that adsorption of aluminium ions to the tip of root was inhibited by the addition of a modified lignin.

Bachelor / Master thesis project
Leader behaviour; does leadership show through behaviour?
Crowds often consist of a collection of smaller groups, and each of these groups may have its own formal or informal leader, who may play an important role in the group's behaviour - for good or for bad. Crowd control revolves around influencing crowd behaviour so as to maintain order and ensuring that people will continue to have a good time. When crowd behaviour are about to take a turn for the worse, intervening in undesired behaviour of crowd members in an effective and timely manner is of the essence. Arguably, doing so by targeting a group's formal or informal leaders could prove to be highly effective. The problem, however, is that it is not usually known exactly who has a leading role in a group. The current project therefore aims to find out whether and how leaders in small groups distinguish themselves from followers through their behaviour.
The current thesis project aims to replicate and, more importantly, extend earlier work regarding the differences between leaders and followers in terms of behaviour, by conducting a carefully designed field experiment (outdoors) in which the behaviour of groups is registered with the GPS tracking devices. GPS data will then be converted to a number of variables such as speed, distance travelled, and intra-group distance. Students are encouraged to construct additional variables that may be of relevance to the current context. Analyses and variable construction may include working with R and R-Studio; familiarity with this software or the willingness to learn working with it are recommended.
The study is part of an ongoing research project by the dept. Psychology of Conflict, Risk, and Safety; although it is required to (to some extent) base the thesis research on earlier work, students will have ample opportunity to develop ideas of their own.
This project is open to more than one student; they can start as soon as they wish.

Thanks to the work of Harvard scientists, we know that daily consumption of coffee may lower the risk of prostate cancer and that red wine could slow aging.
The next big breakthrough in food-health news might very well come from a small lab in Longmont.
ChromaDex (NASDAQ: CDXC), a California-based natural products company, recently expanded to the city after outgrowing its Boulder operation.
The 10,000-square-foot facility on S. Fordham Road will handle research and development for the entire ChromaDex operation, testing plants for hidden properties and formulating extractions into pills or powders to be added to food, drinks and cosmetic products.
"Everything is going toward healthier, better options and people understanding what they're putting in their bodies," said Aron Erickson, head of technology for ChromaDex. "If we can help people live longer and be healthier, that's what we want to do."
About $1 million was invested in building out the Longmont property. Seven employees from Boulder moved to the new location, and 30 to 40 positions will be added over the next five to seven years, averaging $70,000 in annual compensation.
As part of the move, Longmont approved a $16,000 incentive package, in the form of permit fee rebates.
"ChromaDex has been growing so much, we needed to expand," Erickson said.
In 2015, ChromaDex reported revenues of $22.1 million, up 44 percent from the previous year. Final numbers for 2016 haven't yet been reported, but through the third quarter, but it had brought in $21.2 million through Oct. 1.
Driving the company's growth is the ingredients division, which Erickson said has doubled over the past five years.
That includes both contract manufacturing of natural and synthetic ingredients, and development of its own proprietary formulas. It's in this side of the business where ChromaDex expects to make the most money.
The company's flagship product is Niagen, a vitamin B3 supplement that is coveted for its purported anti-aging properties.
Also patented are a delayed-release caffeine crystal and an antioxidant-rich purple powder extracted from the husks of purple corn.
The ingredients ultimately end up as supplements or added to food and drinks.
Despite the push toward natural and organic, adding healthful ingredients to consumables remains a strong trend, according to Boulder-based food scientist Derek Spors.
"Foods blurring the line between supplement and food are quite popular," Spors said. "It's adding a little extra something to an existing product that maybe exists inherently in that food, but not enough to actually do something."
Yogurt is one example, he said. Given the advancement of technology, added probiotics have a more measurable benefit than naturally-existing bacteria found in yogurt.
Added antioxidants continue to move products off the shelves, according to Spors, and a focus on dietary deficiencies of Americans by the federal government is creating markets for vitamin d- and potassium-fortified foods.
The possibilities are as endless as the planet's diversity, ChromaDex's Erickson said.
"There are so many botanicals that have yet to be analyzed," he said. "We're looking all over the world for new ingredients."

History: The Eighties
Laura became personally implicated in these underworld doings. She was spotted overhearing a conversation between Luke's boss, Frank Smith, and his henchmen. Laura now knew too much and was being watched by Frank's men. Meanwhile, Frank's daughter, Jennifer, was attracted to Luke, who, pressured by Frank, was forced to propose marriage. Disheartened, Laura decided she had to make the best of her marriage to Scotty. But on the day of Luke and Jennifer's wedding aboard the Smith yacht, Scotty read a letter Laura had written to Luke and found out who her rapist was. Minutes before the wedding ceremony, Scotty beat up Luke, who fell overboard and was presumed drowned. Later, while walking up and down the dock in despair, Luke emerged from the water and grabbed Laura's leg, begging her to help him. They both fled Port Charles after they stole Frank Smith's little black book, which once uncoded, would detail the criminal activities of Frank and his organization.
Frank Smith found out that Luke and Laura, before they left town, had stolen Smith's coded black book which, once uncoded, would detail all of his criminal activities and put him in jail for good. Frank became desperate to get the couple back into his clutches and tried one scheme after another to force them to return. He even severely beat Luke's kindhearted aunt, Ruby Anderson, but failed to bring Luke out into the open. Finally, Frank sent a hit man named Hutch after him.
Meanwhile, Luke and Laura were having a glorious time while running for their lives. Although he was ready, she wasn't sure whether she wanted to break her marriage vows and make love to him, so Luke good naturedly agreed to hold off. Hit man Hutch found Luke and Laura and befriended them, secretly waiting for the right moment to dispatch the two. The three secured jobs in a local tavern, little suspecting that the owner of the tavern, Sally, was really a hit man in drag, sent by Smith to kill all three of them. Luke decoded the black book--at last he had the goods on Smith and he and Laura could return to Port Charles. Suddenly, Laura was kidnapped by Sally, the hit man in drag. A shootout took place in which Hutch was critically wounded and Max killed. The black book was turned over to the police, the organization was broken up and Frank Smith was jailed. With the nightmare over, Luke and Laura returned to the Whittaker's farm where they had spent their happiest moments. Luke made advances to Laura and this time, sure of her feelings for him, they made love.
They returned triumphantly to Port Charles, but the sight of the reporters brought back the David Hamilton affair all over again. Pressed for a statement about her involvement with Luke, Laura blurted out that she was still Mrs. Scott Baldwin and had been unfaithful to her husband. Laura regretted what she said and was ready to ask Scotty for a divorce, but Luke, destroyed by her outburst, decided to part with Laura.
Edward Quartermaine's shrewd, beautiful niece, Alexandria, arrived in town to work on a business deal with her uncle. However, she was really interested in locating an ugly little abstract black statue known as the Ice Princess, and she hired Luke Spencer to find it. Luke certainly didn't know the Ice Princess was not only the world's largest uncut diamond, but also contained the secret formula for the manufacture of synthetic diamonds. At the same time Laura began working as a receptionist at Edward Louis Quartermaine Industries (ELQ), where Luke also worked, although he wasn't ready yet to resume their affair. As Luke started digging for information on the Ice Princess, he was thwarted at every turn by several sinister characters, including Tony Cassadine and Robert Scorpio. Soon Luke and Robert, who secretly worked for the World Security Bureau, became good friends. Robert told Luke the truth about the statue and the formula and that if the formula for synthetic diamonds fell into the hands of the infamous Cassadines, they could control the world. Luke also learned that Alexandria Quartermaine had been in cahoots with them. A second Cassadine brother, Victor, arrived in Port Charles, and it was Victor who finally wound up with the statue.
Robert Scorpio found out that the Cassadines were about to set sail with the Ice Princess, and he and Luke stowed away on their yacht, the Haunted Star. Once on board they found another stowaway--Laura! She would not be parted from Luke. The yacht brought them all to the Cassadine's lush, tropical private island. The Cassadine brothers and their guests were lodged in a huge underground cavern, where they were joined by the eldest Cassadine brother, the evil genius Mikkos. The stowaways, meanwhile, managed to find a hiding place on the island. Mikkos revealed his master plan--with the formula now in his possession, he could manufacture a substance with the ability to alter climates of the world!
Back on the surface, Luke and Laura were enjoying their tropical paradise, while Scorpio found his way underground with the help of Victor's mistress, beautiful actress Tiffany Hill. She was horrified by Mikkos's plan. As the four concocted a way to stop the Cassadines, Mikkos gave the head of the World Security Bureau an ultimatum--surrender to him now or he would freeze the major cities of the world, starting with Port Charles! To do just that, Mikkos had invented a terrifying machine. In the end, Luke and Scorpio were able to turn the evil freezing machine back on Mikkos himself, freezing Mikkos, Alexandria Quartermaine and Tony Cassadine all to death! Victor was jailed, and the world was now safe from the Cassadines.
Dr. Noah Drake arrived at GH. He quickly became known as a ladies man, dating several of the nurses, including Bobbie Spencer. Their romance progressed to the serious stage swiftly.
Robert, Luke and Laura returned to Port Charles as heroes. Laura flew to Mexico to obtain her divorce from Scotty. He agreed. Luke and Laura's wedding took place with everyone attending. But, Scotty interrupted the affair by catching the bouquet and vowing to cause trouble.
Joe Kelly proved that Heather didn't kill Diana, but she had died accidentally in a struggle with Alice Grant. Both Heather and Alice were set free.
Noah admitted to Bobbie that he wasn't ready for a commitment. She left town to start a new life.
Laura modeled for Miss Star Eyes and put a strain on the marriage. Suddenly, Laura disappeared without a trace on the docks.
Laura's disappearance drove Luke frantic with worry. She was seen on the docks near the yacht and seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth! Jackie Templeton, an investigative reporter from New York City, arrived in Port Charles seeking a different Laura--her sister who disappeared with her boyfriend, Mel. Eventually, Luke and Jackie discovered that both disappearances were engineered by David Gray, a mystery man who intended to steal the treasures of MaIkuth from the Port Charles Museum. Laura Templeton appeared unharmed, but Luke discovered that David had his wife killed. David was killed in a fight with Luke soon afterwards. Jackie and Robert fell in love.
Rick Webber was appalled by the conditions on the waterfront. His clinic was helping somewhat, and he had adopted Mike, a waterfront orphan. But there had to be something he could do. A young boy, Blackie Parrish, helped crystalize his plans. He founded a sports center, on land owned by George Dernly (and later taken over by Scotty Baldwin when Dernly was arrested). He hoped that it would give kids a place to go, instead of hanging around on the streets.
The Sports Center became the training camp for a young boxer, Johnny Morissey. Rick helped train Johnny, and Johnny the fighter fell madly in love with Amy Vining. Despite attempted intereference by the mob, Johnny won his fight and went on to NY to further his career, leaving a heartbroken Amy behind.
Noah and Tiff began a love affair. Noah confessed that he was in love, probably for the first time in his life. Their happiness was almost destroyed by the return of Bobbie Spencer to Port Charles.
While hiking in the mountains, Luke met Holly Sutton. Holly claimed to be an orphan, and that she'd inherited some land in Port Charles. Luke and Holly seemed to find oil on the land, and began urging people to invest. Luke and Scorpio didn't realize that it was all a scam set up by Holly and her family. After a long struggle with her conscience, Holly told Luke the truth and the two recovered the money that the Corsos had stolen.
Luke and Holly spent a few happy moments together before a big fight separated them with Luke going off to the mountains to think. Danger immediately befell him when he was mugged, and was the victim of an avalanche. Paralyzed, Luke learned the people of Port Charles believed he was dead, so he decided not to return. Natalie Dearborn, alias Natasha, a member of the DVX spy organization, posed as a therapist to gain Luke's trust. Holly found she was expecting Luke's child and Robert married her to save her from deportation.
Holly miscarried and after some time, fell in love with Robert and consummated their marriage. Luke chose that time to return to Port Charles, almost cured of his paralysis. When he found Holly was wed to Robert he severed their friendship.
As part of her settlement with Alan, who was now also divorced from Monica, Susan Moore became a millionairess. Scotty Baldwin, despite Heather's advances, became interested in her for financial reasons. After Susan was critically injured in a car accident, she and Scotty were married. Crane Tolliver came to town with papers proving the Quartermaines were illegitimate. He was Lila's first husband and their divorce was never finalized. He conspired with Susan to blackmail the family, but the plan backfired when Susan was murdered by Crane and he was later found out. On his deathbed, he gave the papers to Jimmy Lee Holt, Edward's illegitimate son. Jimmy Lee used them to his advantage, securing a home for himself and Jason.
Celia Quartermaine arrived in Port Charles engaged to Grant Putnam, an orthopedic surgeon. Grant was in reality, a DVX operator, in cahoots with Natalie. They were to get hold of an energized disc for their Motherland. In the process Luke, Holly and Celia were kidnapped, but Grant later turned state's evidence and saved them from death. In England the real Grant Putnam regained his memory after seeing an article in the paper.
Bobbie met D.L. Brock, a financier from New York. They fell in love and she became pregnant. When Bobbie miscarried and learned she could never have children, she married Brock anyhow.
Laura returned after two years. Luke, who had been elected Mayor of Port Charles could not believe his eyes. However, Laura was wed to Stavros Cassadine, the man who kept her prisoner in Greece. He followed her to the U.S. and later met his death in a fall down the stairs at Luke's home. The happy couple left town.
Celia exposed Grant Putnam as the psychopathic killer he really was. Grant Andrews and Celia reconciled and he was reinstated as a doctor and he invested in a new research clinic.
Brock planned to have Rick fired from the position of Health Commissioner because Rick closed down his plant as unsanitary. He hired Mike's real mother, Ginny, to frame Rick by making it appear like he took a bribe. Brock was exposed and Ginny decided to stay in Port Charles. Realizing that she really loved Mike, Ginny wanted him back. When Lesley was killed in a car crash, Ginny and Rick decided to get married so they didn't have to put Mike through a custody battle. Slowly but surely, they developed a deep affection for each other. When Derek Barrington, Mike's real father came to town, it caused problems.
Brock's spoiled daughter Terry showed up, putting a big strain on Bobbie and Brock's already shaky marriage. Differences caused Bobbie to move out. Bobbie came back when Brock promised to support her against Terry. Terry and Brock started fighting and she got into trouble at a bar and got arrested. Bobbie bailed her out and the two women became closer.
Jimmy Lee's mother, Beatrice, came to Port Charles and they plotted to blackmail the Quartermaines with documents proving his illegitimacy. Along the way, she stole other incriminating evidence against Port Charles' prominent citizens from Lorena's safe at the Health Spa. Beatrice began blackmailing them also. At a party at the Spa, Beatrice accidentally drank Lila's heart medication, and coupled with other medication in her system that was slipped to her by her victims, she overdosed and died. Jimmy Lee vowed revenge and got $20,000,000 from the Quartermaines in return for the document.
Newcomer rock musician Frisco Jones fell for Tania Roskov and tried to console her as she tried to get over her affair with Grant Andrews. She later fell in love with Frisco's brother Anthony.
Frisco got involved with Felicia Cummings, an Aztec princess. She was trying to retrieve a ring that, when coupled with a royal scepter, was the key to a hidden treasure. Luke and Robert teamed up again in Mexico trying to retrieve the royal scepter. They solicited the assistance of an ex-WSB buddy of Robert's, Sean Donely, who in actuality was trying to steal the treasure himself.
Religous differences finally became too much for Jake and Rose, and they split. Rose left town to work for her stepson, Joe Kelly. Aunt Ruby took over the diner in her absence.
Terry Brock became very nervous and jittery when Kevin and Patrick O'Connor came to town. They were a part of Terry's past life in Laurelton. When they moved into the new brownstone that Bobbie and Jake had purchased, it drove Terry to sleepwalking. Then her Grandma Talbot visited, and even more trouble occurred. A man was found dead in the brownstone with a knife in his back and Terry standing over him.
Grant's marriage to Celia ended when she fell for Jimmy Lee once more. After her divorce became final, she wed Jimmy Lee.
Meanwhile, a beautiful woman with a scar on her face came to Port Charles. She turned out to be Robert's ex-wife Anna Devane. She introduced Robert to their daughter, Robin. An ex-WSB agent, Anna helped Robert find the treasure.
Holly was kidnapped by Donely, who now had the treasure. Robert eventually tracked her down in the woods where she was being held prisoner in a pullman car. Anna joined Sean at a hide-out on the Canadian border where they awaited Mr. Wu, an international jewel thief who planned to buy the treasure. Robert found the hideout and he and Sean got into a fight on a tram. Robert appeared to fall to his death. Sean took the treasure to meet Mr. Wu's assistant. Robert, disguised as Yang, arrested Sean.
Jimmy Lee's friend, Buzz Stryker, arrived in Port Charles and was hired as Steve Hardy's assistant. He started a medical van with Grant.
Ginny's marriage to Rick was on the rocks when she was found guilty of Brock's murder. She was let off the hook when it was revealed that he had a brain tumor. She took up with Derek Barrington, Mike's father, and became pregnant. The baby turned out to be Rick's.
Holly left for Australia and Robert stayed to tie up loose ends with the treasure. Mr. Wu, the Asian godfather, was making slaves of the people of the community. A rebellious group called the green shirts were trying to gain the people's freedom. In order to do this they had to have a set of black pearls in Buddha statues, that Anna once owned. While Anna had them, Robin took the pearls out of the statues and used them for her doll's eyes.
Wu's men tried to steal Robin's doll, but were stopped by Frisco. Wu ordered a hit on Frisco but his buddy Josh got killed instead. Vowing revenge, Frisco went undercover. He was taken in by Donely who had been sprung from jail by Wu in return for his help.
Jimmy Lee faced a financial setback when some of his waterfront buildings collapsed. Celia wasn't sure she could deal with being poor again. She left Jimmy Lee and Port Charles.
Frisco realized that Donely had been working with them all along and tried to convince Robert of that. Robert could never believe his friend again, however, after Canada.
Robin discovered the pearls in her doll and gave them up. Frisco and Donely were cleared and the people of the Asian quarter were freed.
Robert left for Australia. Frisco and Felicia became engaged. Monica took up with Sean. Anna and Burt were made co-commissioners. Frisco joined the Port Charles police force. Tanya, who was now married to Frisco's brother, Tony, became pregnant.
Monica and Sean started having an affair and plotted to bleed the Quartermaines of their fortune. Sean leaked word of a merger between Donely Enterprises and the Cassadines. Jimmy Lee decided to sell the family stock and invest it all. Monica had second thoughts and tried to warn the family that the merger was a fake. They didn't listen and the Quartermaines lost everything. Derek Barrington bought their mansion and the Quartermaines moved into Kelly's Diner.
The victim of the brownstone murder turned out to be Neil Johnson, a cousin of Kevin and Patrick's. Bobbie and Jake Meyer headed to Laurelton to get some clues on the murder and Terry's mysterious background. Kevin and Terry became engaged and Terry started remembering something about a Valentine's Day dance. While hypnotized it was discovered that while at the dance she drank some spiked punch and went to a hotel room with Patrick. She paraded down main street stark naked.
Bobbie and Jake couldn't get anything out of the tight-lipped residents of Laurelton but the two fell in love. They did find out about another murder, however; that of Earl Moody, Kevin and Patrick's uncle. Moody was a major stock holder in Purity Water Company and now the stock belonged to Patrick. Patrick became the prime suspect. When Terry remembered Earl Moody's dead body falling on her at the town hall, she soon became the prime suspect.
Jennifer Talbot was murdered and Kevin was suspected when a witness testified to seeing him with Jennifer the day she died. Kevin swore he was innocent and enlisted the aid of his lover, librarian turned nympho, Lucy Coe, to be his alibi.
Terry remembered that Kevin murdered Earl and he whisked her off to Catalina Island for a "honeymoon." He tried to get her to kill herself, but she was rescued by Jake, Anna and Frisco. Kevin fell to his death when Terry knocked him on the head with a rock. Jake testified that Kevin fell in a struggle.
Derek and Lorena left town as did Ginny, Rick, Mike and Rick Jr. Buzz' daughter Sandy came to Port Charles and fell for Jimmy Lee.
Anna and mobster, Duke Lavery, clashed on the idea of waterfront expansion but were still attracted to each other. When a hit was ordered on Frisco by Mr. Big, the head of the organization, Duke said he wanted out. He had to stay in, however, if he wanted to keep Anna and Robin alive.
Robert returned to town to help bust the organization. Mr. Big turned out to be Burt Ramsey. Duke turned state's evidence and the organization was busted, with some help from Frisco and Felicia.
Alan, scheming to get back at Sean and Monica, staged his own murder. He faked amnesia and went to the country where he fell for a woman named Charity Gatlin. Tiffany returned to Port Charles to work for Edward in getting Sean. She bought the TV station and fell for Sean. Faced with a murder charge, Sean returned the Quartermaines' money. Charity found out Alan was faking amnesia and she fell for Jimmy Lee. They married and left town.
Jake and Bobbie became engaged. Lucy Coe wrote the Kevin O'Connor story but skimmed the profits. Ted found out about it and shortly after was found murdered. Lucy was the prime suspect. Jake believed she was innocent and took her case. She moved into the Brownstone.
Lucy skipped town to clear her name. Jake followed her. The two were trapped in a storm and made love. Lucy was cleared when it was revealed that Sarah, a woman involved in the Earl Moody cover-up, was the murderess. Lucy became pregnant and Jake and Bobbie planned to adopt her baby. She eventually had a miscarriage.
Duke was given a light sentence but was sent to the same prison as Angus, one of the mobsters Duke implicated, who also happened to be his father.
Robert returned to Port Charles when Holly died in a plane crash. Tom Hardy also returned with his fiance Simone Ravelle. They faced problems because of their racial differences.
Tanya was killed by a hit and run driver and left Tony with their baby Barbara Jean, a.k.a. B.J. Lucy moved in with Tony to take care of B.J.
Terry became involved with her singing partner, Dusty Walker. It turned out he was being programmed by the DVX to murder Robert and Anna. Dusty's controller, Elena, was a woman claiming to be the head of a peace movement. Elena was stopped. Duke and Anna wed. Dusty left town, as did Camilia.
Tony and Lucy became lovers but he told her he could never be in love with her. Lucy's Aunt Charlene came to town with a secret from Lucy's past. She got a job as Tony's housekeeper. Tony and Lucy wed. Charlene's son, Colton Shore, arrived in Port Charles.
Jake took off to South America and Scotty Baldwin returned to town. Scotty did not give Bobbie messages from Jake and the Meyers split up. Also arriving in Port Charles was Tiffany's sister Cheryl, I who was a financial wizard. She flirted with Sean a bit, but then fell for Robert. Tom and Simone wed.
Frisco joined the WSB and was sent on secret assignment after secret assignment. Felicia found out that Frisco had been killed. She teamed with Colton in finding out how Frisco died. It turned out that Colton was programmed to kill Frisco, but someone else's bullet reached him first. Felicia, who had fallen for Colton, left town.
Tony divorced Lucy when she let B.J. drink nail polish. Lucy teamed up with Scotty. Tony became blind because of all of the stress in his life. He and Bobbie became closer.
Duke got caught up in the organization again. This time, it was the Jeromes. He was seduced by Olivia St. John, Victor Jerome's daughter, and she became pregnant. Anna also announced to Duke that they were expecting a child. Olivia tried to kill Anna and succeeded in causing her to have a miscarriage. It turned out that Olivia was not pregnant after all.
Problems occurred for Robert and Cheryl when Cheryl's ex-lover Julian Jerome returned to town. Cheryl, who thought he was dead, kept this from Robert. Olivia made everyone's life hell. She was shot and went into a coma. Anna was the prime suspect and Scotty did all he could to convict her. It was finally discovered that Dino, Victor's illegitimate son, was the would-be murderer. He thought he was entitled to the Jerome fortune.
Sean and Tiffany wed and Cheryl left town. Arriving in Port Charles were Lord Ashton, Tracy Quartermaine's ex-husband; his wife Arielle, Colton's ex- lover; and Ned, Tracy and Larry's son who had an affair with Monica. Colton became involved with Arielle again. Tracy Quartermaine then returned.
Felicia returned to town and took up with Colton again. Arielle was scorned and joined her Uncle Nicholas to get revenge, and to find the dragon bone mystery. Tom and Simone's marriage became even more shaky when Dr. Harrison Davis came to Port Charles. It seemed he and Simone had a brief romance while she was at a convention in England. She slept with Harrison and Tom on the same day and became pregnant.
Olivia came out of her coma with partial amnesia. Nobody knew if she was faking it or not, so they arrested her. Duke was asked to testify against the mob. He realized that if he did, his whole family might pay for it. He decided against the witness protection program. He was warned not to make any statements against the mob, or else. Anna and Duke agreed that the wisest thing they could do would be to disappear from Port Charles, together. Robin chose to go with them, rather than stay with Robert. Duke learned that a contract had been put out on his life.
Everyone was trying to get their hands on the map, but Prince ended up with it. Later Sean found it and made a copy.
Sean realized that Arielle was bent on revenge, putting Colton and Felicia's lives in danger. Arielle had Felicia kidnapped, and Colton was kidnapped by the WSB. They asked him to go back to work for them. He wanted to be with Felicia, who Robert had rescued, but knew they had to stay apart so that he could get back together with Arielle to gain important information.
Nicholas invited Paul and Katherine to stay with him in the Bahamas. Edward also took off on vacation, and his plane crashed. Edward had made up a phony will, to shake up his heirs. He planned to change it when he returned, but suddenly, it looked like he would never return.
Victor had Duke set up. He ran straight into a building that was about to blow up! Luckily, Agent Russo saved Duke's life by leading him through an underground tunnel. By letting everyone believe he was dead, his family would remain safe. The ultimate martyr, Duke sacrificed his identity for his family's sake. Anna couldn't believe he was dead.
When Katherine told Paul that their relationship was through, he kidnapped her. She realized that he had killed her family. Paul had lost his mind. He was going to bury them in a "pharaoh's tomb" that he had built. But Robert was on his way to rescue her. He saved her life, and Paul died.
Colton ended up married to Arielle, which did not make him happy at all. Arielle agreed to a divorce, and Colton proposed to Felicia.
Edward was presumed dead, and Ned was left the inheritance that Alan expected. He tried to have Edward declared senile when he wrote the will, but Lila wouldn't hear of it. Alan turned to Lucy for sympathy.
Victor had sent Scott gifts as bribery. Scott wanted to return them, but Lucy ended up keeping them, then she started to worry that might not have been a very good move.
At Victor's trial, Olivia confessed that she had heard her father ordering Duke's death. To everyone's delight, Victor was convicted.
A mysterious man in a Turkish prison was nearly killed by a priest carrying a domino. Monica and Ned were still very attracted to each other. Dawn returned to Port Charles.
Guess who the man in the Turkish prison was? Frisco was alive and still carrying Felicia's photo. He arrived in Port Charles just in time to see Felicia pronounced the wife of the man who had tried to kill him. Needless to say, he was shocked.
Frisco had believed that Felicia knew he was alive, but learned from Sean that everyone thought he was dead. Meanwhile Felicia enjoyed her unusual honeymoon.
Anna vowed to see Olivia put in jail for life. Under duress, Olivia made a full confession, which Anna taped. Olivia ended up in a mental institution.
Felicia was shocked to see Frisco, but maintained that she would honor her vows to Colton. Katherine was romantically pursued by Claudio Maldonado, a wealthy admirer. Robert was jealous.
After regaining his sight, Tony offered to help Frisco catch Domino. Tracy was voted into Edward's old position. Tiffany discovered that Cheryl was pregnant. Cheryl swore that the baby was Julian's.
Ned bought Dawn an island and mansion. They planned to turn Windemere mansion into a hotel. Meanwhile Tracy had been snooping around the orphanage where Dawn grew up and figured out that Dawn was Monica's daughter that she had given up for adoption eighteen years ago. Monica found out the truth, too, when she found Dawn's birth certificate.
Domino was planning to take over the world. He already had six countries under control. Colton was, once again, hypnotized and programmed to kill Frisco.
Cheryl gave birth to a healthy baby boy, but was told that he died. Then the boy was sold to Bobbie for twenty five thousand dollars. Tony paid for the baby and Bobbie had no idea who he belonged to. Bobbie and Tony decided to get married.
Decker Moss, Colton's younger brother arrived in town, with his friend Phoebe. Colton wasn't happy to see him. He stole Ned's motorcycle and promptly got into an accident with Felicia. She was hurt, and when she came to, she didn't know who she was. She found Phoebe's identification and assumed that was who she was. Meanwhile, Frisco and Colton searched for her.
Felicia, still believing that she was Phoebe, was having a good time with Decker, living in the fast lane. They never slept together. She finally realized who she was when she saw Frisco and Colton on TV. Instead of rushing home, she and Decker went on vacation; Felicia dreaded returning to Port Charles and having to choose between Colton and Frisco.

Photography Logo Design Explained | 6 Logo Design Tips To Create A Killer Photography Brand
Photography Logo Design Explained | Creating an effective business logo requires a lot of hard work and dedication. It's probably the best way to build a brand identity, make an impact on clients and make sure they remember your name, portfolio, website and come back for a second visit. With the surge of stock logos, however, the quality of branding for small businesses started going downhill. Many new designers fail to understand that a logo, unlike any other design element, is literally the public face of a business. And photography businesses are no exception.
Photography Logo Design Explained | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
When it comes to the photography industry, your brand is made of pretty much anything that represents you or your company, including the way you dress, how you answer the phone, your website, the paper your price sheets are printed on, etc. All of these are represented by one simple symbol: your logo. Having the right logo design is a crucial element of your branding strategy if you want to be taken seriously as a professional photographer. You have to make a strong statement and leave a memorable first impression of you and your business. How do you as a serious professional stand out from the crowd and create a quality logo that works?

Before you start designing your logo, you must understand what a logo is, what it stands for and what it is supposed to do. A logo is not just a graphic symbol – it should communicate your commercial brand through the use of shapes, fonts, and colors. An effective logo is unique, appropriate, practical, simple in form and successfully communicates the intended message. In its simplest form, a logo is there to identify, but to do this effectively it must follow the basic principles of logo design.

Keep It Simple | Photography Logo Design Explained
Remember the ultimate goal of your logo. Its job is to easily identify your business. So it should be clean, simple, direct and obvious. Commercial photographers usually have logos as simple as their name in a unique font, with maybe a design element or two thrown in. Wedding photographers often vary from simple fonts to elaborate graphics and designs. You can waste a lot of time going back and forth with ideas, but in the end, simplicity is always a win-win solution.
Maintain Versatility | Photography Logo Design Explained
A logo should be flexible and usable on pretty much any medium. It should ideally work just as well on a small object such as a golf ball as it would do much larger objects, from commercially printed calenders upwards. Using applications such as Illustrator from the get-go will save you endless headaches later on, as they support vector formats. Editing a vector logo is far easier than having to edit a pixelized image. It enables you to scale the logo to any size without lose of quality.
Be Original | Photography Logo Design Explained
However tempting it may be, clip art can be copied too easily and is being used on countless poorly designed business cards around the world. Not only will original design make a more impressive statement about your photography business, but it'll set you apart from your competition. The last thing you want from a business logo is to have it mistaken for that of a competitor. So when considering logo design, it's critical to keep it original. Look at what's out there and find an opening for something new.

Understand The Brand | Photography Logo Design Explained
Yes, a logo is an image, but it's also an introduction to a brand. The logo must appeal to a specific audience and when designing, you must keep your ideal client in mind. When selecting a company logo, know your target audience — both who they are and what they expect from you. Ask yourself what you want your logo to say about your photography business. Do you want your brand to look aggressive, modern, edgy and spontaneous? Or would you like it to come off subdued, patient and assured? Either way, choose a design that is memorable, stands out from competitors, and relates to your own brand. Think clean, appealing and appropriate.

Avoid Trends | Photography Logo Design Explained
Logo design, just like any other variant of design, has its own share of trends which keep falling in favor and out of favor over time. It makes sense to steer clear of cliches and come up with the unique logo that your business truly deserves. While it is helpful to stay up to date on design trends, it's more vital to stay true to a brand's overarching personality. After all, why not use a design that you actually thought up yourself rather than ripping off what everyone else is doing?

The Ontario Court of Appeal just released its decision in Jones v Tsige saying that there is a tort of invasion of privacy in Ontario. Until this decision, it was generally felt that this right did not exist in Ontario. The court also refers to the tort as intrusion upon seclusion.
The gist of the case is that a bank employee looked up banking information on someone she knew (another bank employee who was in a common-law relationship with the victim's former husband) – at least 174 times over a 4 year period. That was clearly contrary to bank policy and privacy legislation, and she was disciplined for it by the bank when it came to light.
The issue in this case was whether the victim could sue for damages for it. The Court of Appeal decided she could, and awarded $10,000 in damages.
To be actionable:
- the defendant's conduct must be intentional, including recklessness;
- the defendant must have invaded, without lawful justification, the plaintiff's private affairs or concerns;
- a reasonable person would regard the invasion as highly offensive causing distress, humiliation or anguish.
It does not apply to intrusions into every private or personal matter. The decision says that it is only intrusions into matters such as:
- financial or health records
- sexual practices and orientation
- employment
- diary or private correspondence

Gina the Foxy Chick (1974)
Quality: VHSRip
Year: 1974
Country: USA
Genre: Feature, Straight, Interracial, vintage erotica, classic xxx
Language: English
Cast: Arita Wilson, Becky Walker, Cindy White, Kim Wong, Sandra Stevens, B.J. Boggs, Jake Cook, Sal St. James
Description: Gina the foxy chick knows men very well. Her current man is into gambling, and that habit is losing. When a rude pimp threatens his life, Gina is forced to work as a call girl in the streets where she sells her tight little body to the hardest ever usage. She is no innocent victim, though. Gina learns to enjoy the cocks in her mouth, in her pussy, in her ass, all at once – the more, the merrier. While selling herself on the expensive streets of San Francisco, Gina looses interest in her powerless lover and instead attaches herself to the meaty arms of the brutal pimp who promises to protect, serve and discipline her – that kind of man deserves to be the man of Gina the foxy chick.
