NEW YORK CITY -- TouchTunes Interactive Networks, the largest out-of-home entertainment network in North America, has been awarded attorneys' fees of several million dollars in connection with its patent infringement lawsuit brought on by Arachnid Inc. In making the announcement this week, TouchTunes said it resolved to vigorously defend its reputation and its own patented technology, even though Arachnid had sued other jukebox companies, some of which settled with them.
The lawsuit began in 2007 following Arachnid's ongoing allegations in the marketplace that TouchTunes' jukeboxes infringed certain patents of Arachnid. TouchTunes, which manufactures digital jukebox kiosks and administers a music network for some 60,000 venues, held that the charges were unsupported. In October 2013, a federal judge in the Southern District of New York ruled in favor of TouchTunes in its patent infringement lawsuit against Arachnid Inc., which had alleged that TouchTunes infringed its computer jukebox patents. | SEE STORY
After October's ruling, and investing millions of dollars into its legal fight, TouchTunes moved to be awarded more than $5 million in legal fees and expenses. The court granted the motion for attorneys' fees, finding that Arachnid had maintained its litigation in bad faith. The judge has not yet determined the exact amount of the award, but it's expected to be in the millions.
"This attorneys' fees award provides us with a complete victory," said TouchTunes president and chief executive Charles Goldstuck. "We were confident over the past six plus years that, in the end, we would prove that we had been the victim of frivolous and bad faith allegations and this award finally and fully vindicates us. TouchTunes will continue its development of unique and original products, protected by more than 70 patents, and, in doing so, will also continue to respect the intellectual property rights of others."
Arachnid's founder, John Martin, was an inventor of numerous technologies associated with electronic darts, music downloading and touchscreen games. His company is a leading developer of electronic dart machines. Its patents describing a downloading jukebox, and related functions on a digital touchscreen jukebox, were filed in the early 1990s. The company announced plans for a downloading jukebox in the mid-1990s, but never introduced such a product. Arachnid challenged TouchTunes with its patent describing the storage of advertising data on a jukebox, among other patents. It sued another jukebox company, the now-defunct Ecast, which settled.

Tragic events continuing out of Haiti make all the bad news for progressives this week wither in comparison. Nonetheless, over these last few days, for liberals in particular, there has been no joy in Mudville -- aka American politics.
Just for starters: Thursday's Supreme Court decision opening the floodgates for corporate dollars dominating campaign advertising; the election of Republican Scott Brown to the Senate, ending the Democrats so-called supermajority of 60 votes; and the subsequent collapse of health care reform as Democratic members of Congress scurried for the fire exits.
For a moment at least President Obama must have felt like he was in one of those animated cartoons where the hero tries to rally his troops shouting, "What are we, men or mice?" and the response is a chorus of rodent-like squeaks.
Add to this John Edwards confessing -- finally -- to paternity, and the withdrawal of Erroll Southers' name as Obama's choice to run the Transportation Security Administration after weeks of harassment by conservative Senator Jim DeMint (and the revelation that Southers had dissembled about incidents 20 years ago when he accessed a Federal database to investigate his estranged wife's new boyfriend). Yikes.
Then, just to ice this cookie full of arsenic, comes news of the demise of the progressive radio network Air America. It was a misbegotten enterprise from the onset, intentions noble but its finances always in a state of jangling uncertainty (in the interest of full disclosure, I made regular appearances for a short while on their morning show, "Unfiltered," hosted by Lizz Winstead, Chuck D and Rachel Maddow -- Rachel being the best and smartest on-air personage to have emerged from the entire Air America enterprise).
Why progressive talk radio has been unable to counter the right-wing, talk radio juggernaut seems no great mystery. The nuance and diffuse nature of much liberal debate is unlike the bombast and accusation that sells beverages and shock absorbers. "Yes, but on the other hand" works great for NPR, God bless them, but not in the loud and confrontational world of commercial talk radio, where gladiatorial skills are more valued than dialectical ones.
More important, Air America was never able to attract the big corporate dollars, its audience too small and, one presumes, because its politics did not gibe with the free market agenda of many large sponsors and their associates, the ones with the deepest pockets.
Just look, for example, at the wallet of the conservative United States Chamber of Commerce, which describes itself as "the world's largest business federation representing 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions."
Our Summer Campaign Is Underway
Support Common Dreams Today
Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
The Chamber bragged about the cash they poured into TV ads supporting Scott Brown in the Massachusetts Senate race -- more than half a million dollars' worth by last count -- and said his victory "could pay immediate dividends by throwing into question the future of health care reform legislation pending in Congress." Check and double check.
It's the opening salvo in their campaign to block just about any kind of reform by backing pro-business candidates in this fall's midterm elections -- in all, the Chamber plans to spend a whopping $100 million dollars. Not that they have to buy any more members of Congress -- as we've seen this past year, and especially this week, the Democrats and Republicans they've already helped pay for are perfectly capable of bringing the House and Senate to a compete standstill -- witness health care, the cap-and-trade climate bill and the disinclination to truly step up to the plate on financial reform.
All thanks in part to the lobbying efforts and campaign cash of big business, which, with this week's Supreme Court decision, will be all the more able to deluge the airwaves and Internet with an unending barrage of ads in favor or against the candidates and issues of their choice.
But this is no time to run and hide. As the historian Simon Schama wrote in the January 19 edition of the Financial Times, the President "may actually need to respond to the unrelenting pressure from zombie conservatism, ravenously flesh-eating and never quite dead, not by turning on more consensual charm, but by taking the gloves off. With his bank levy -- 'We want our money back,' he said -- Mr. Obama has belatedly begun to fight. Whether he can trade enough punches with the right before the November mid-term elections remains to be seen, but my hunch is that President Composure is up for a brawl."
To do so, he will have to speak out forcefully and counter the bulldozing effect of megabucks with solid community support. A report last week by David Corn on the Mother Jones Web site was not encouraging, suggesting that the volunteer army of more than 13 million activists and donors that sparkplugged Obama's presidential campaign has been too often ignored or misused by the White House.
An investigation commissioned by the crosspartisan group blog TechPresident.com found that as far as advancing a progressive agenda goes, the effort that arose from the Obama campaign, Organizing for America (OFA), "focused more on supporting and thanking allied Members than pressuring resistant Democrats or Republicans." In other words, too many e-mail offers of OFA tee-shirts and wool hats and not enough boots on the ground canvassing and lobbying.
This is no time to go wobbly, as Margaret Thatcher famously told George Bush the First. But given the events of this week, perhaps even more appropriate are the pre-firing squad words of that most famous Wobbly, radical and labor activist Joe Hill: Don't mourn, organize.

How do ethics and the free market interact? As the authors of a new paper on the topic point out, the answer is often complicated. In the past, Western economies had vigorous markets for things we now consider entirely unethical, like slaves and Papal forgiveness for sins. Ending those practices took long and bloody struggles. But was this because the market simply reflects the ethics of the day, or does engaging in a market alter people's perception of what's ethical?
To find out, the authors of the paper set up a market for an item that is ethically controversial: the lives of lab animals. They found that, for most people, keeping a mouse alive, even at someone else's cost, is only worth a limited amount of money. But that amount goes down dramatically once market-based buying and selling is involved.
The research was done at the University of Bonn, which appears to have a biology department that includes researchers who study mouse genetics. As Mendel told us, genes are inherited independently. So as these researchers are breeding mice to get a specific combination of genes, they'll inevitably get mice that have the wrong combination. Since proper mouse care is expensive and lab mice typically live a couple of years, it's standard procedure to euthanize these unneeded mice.
Putting a price on mice
The study's authors, Armin Falk and Nora Szech, obtained enough money to let these mice live out their natural lives in the same facility. Then, they attempted to create a market in which the lives of the mice were at stake.
Rather than creating a market that set a price on a mouse's life, however, the mice were largely treated as externalities. Externalities are consequences of economic activity that don't directly affect either the buyer or seller, and aren't priced in to any transactions—examples might include the health consequences of sweatshop working conditions or burning coal to produce electricity. In this case, the mice themselves became an externality. If the participants could broker a deal involving cash, a mouse would be killed. If the deal didn't go through, the mouse was kept until it died a natural death.
So, participants were given a picture of a typical research mouse then had a video of the approved euthanasia procedure shown to them. Next, they were set loose to negotiate a deal.
To establish a baseline for how much people valued lab mice, the authors offered a simple choice: would you accept €10 (roughly $13) if it meant that the mouse would die? About 45 percent of the participants were willing to go ahead with that deal. If participants were asked to find a price at which they'd be willing to allow the mouse to be killed, about 43 percent accepted a price that was €10 or under. So, this gave the researchers some sense of how much people value saving a mouse's life.
That is, until they started trading. In a simple market, a buyer was given €20 ($26), and asked to negotiate an acceptable exchange with a seller. If the two couldn't agree on a fair split, neither of them got any money, but the mouse got to live. In a multilateral market, the researchers put seven buyers together with nine sellers. The researchers gave them all constant updates of the average current price being negotiated and when deals went through.
Suddenly, the mice weren't worth as much. In the paired buyer/seller situation, 73 percent of the pairs reached a deal worth less than €10 for the seller. And, in the multilateral setup, 76 percent of the mice ended up dead for a price less than €10. To reach an equivalent percent of people willing to see a mouse die in the "choose your price" control, it would have taken a value of about €50 ($65). In contrast, the average price of a deal in the multilateral situation as only about €5 ($6.50).
In the multilateral market, the price of a deal actually went down over the course of negotiations, as sellers became more and more interested in coming away with any money. Bizarrely, in a control experiment involving a gift certificate, the price stayed constant throughout the negotiations.
A market for ethics
How can a marketplace have such a profound effect on people's decisions? The authors note that there are a number of factors likely at play. To begin with, it takes two people to agree to a deal that ends up with a dead mouse, and that may be viewed as distributing the responsibility to an extent. The mere existence of a market structure also helps normalize the decision in people's minds, suggesting that the situation is socially acceptable. Finally, the structure of a market displaces people's reasoning, shifting it from the life or death of a mouse to a competition over the particulars of a deal and awareness of the deals that others are cutting.
The researchers argue that parallels to real-world behavior are pretty obvious. People may be against sweatshop-like working conditions in general, but very few people are willing to take time out from hunting for a good deal to research a company's manufacturing supply chain.
Before you dismiss the authors as a bunch of anti-capitalist agitators, they're well aware that other forms of resource distribution have fostered some fantastically unethical behavior. Or, as they put it in more academic terms, "Other organizational forms of allocation and price determination such as in totalitarian systems or command societies do not generically place higher value on moral outcomes."
What they argue instead is that we need to recognize that markets in general won't always give their participants the sorts of outcomes they would have preferred. And, if the difference between our hopes and the actual outcomes becomes too large, then it might be time to consider some form of market intervention.

Do strips of cured, salted pork belong wrapped around a chocolaty, marshmallow-filled Moon Pie?
You bet your bacon they do. Provided you�re dining at the Bacon Inc. Bar and Grill in Gastonia.
There�s no hidden meaning behind the new restaurant�s matter-of-fact moniker. As the powerful aroma suggests, they squeal for crispy swine, all the time.
�I don�t think there�s any doubt what we�re about when you walk in the door,� said owner Steve Gamaras.
The business is the new incarnation of Flip Flops Grille and Spirits, a four-year-old operation that Gamaras recently bought and rebranded. He held his grand opening last Friday at 3908 E. Franklin Blvd., after realizing no one else in the Charlotte region had begun wallowing in a similar concept.
Gamaras said it�s hard not to notice the nationwide obsession with the treat that comes from the belly of the pig. His idea sprang from years of personal research.
�My mother was from southern Georgia and, trust me, we had Southern cooking and bacon was a big part of it,� said Gamaras, a Charlotte native who now lives in Cramerton. �My mom used to complain I could eat a pound of bacon in one sitting.�
Gamaras operated Boulevard Beer and Ice on Garrison Boulevard before it closed several years ago. In 2012, he was one of the partners who opened PlayersCasino, an Internet sweepstakes gaming center and entertainment venue, in a former Franklin Square restaurant.
His plan was to incorporate the bacon theme into the food offerings there. But the business had to shut down in December after the state Supreme Court ruled sweepstakes gaming machines are illegal in North Carolina.
Gamaras went with the flow, buying Flip Flops and hiring Heather Belcher, an experienced general manager, to run it. He has about 14 total employees now and has renovated the inside to fit the restaurant�s new scope.
�We repainted the place black and burgundy, which in my mind gives you that bacon feel,� Gamaras said.
�Everything tastes better with bacon�
Their next step was to build a menu around that most beloved pork product.
�You�d be surprised how many bacon-based recipes are out there,� he said.
Not everything on the menu contains the star ingredient. The chicken wings are standard, and a couple of the salads are free of bacon bits or crumbles.
But those are the exceptions.
There are bacon-wrapped pickles, shrimp, mushrooms, jalapenos and even hot dogs. The meaty strips are featured on several sandwiches. And then there are the burgers, made with a secret recipe that includes equal parts ground beef and ground bacon.
The 1- or 2-pound Stuffed CPR Burger kicks it up a notch. The diner can throw health consciousness to the wind by having one or two patties stuffed with cheese or any other filling they like.
�Our burgers are by far the biggest hit,� said Gamaras.
More elaborate offerings, such as the bacon-wrapped Moon Pie dessert, aren�t on the official menu yet. But that and other newcomers will be appearing in the near future, Gamaras said. Since opening, he�s been trying out other creations, such as bacon-wrapped Snickers bars, and giving away samples.
Gamaras plans to offer live entertainment occasionally on Friday and Saturday nights. He said business has been sizzling in the last week, and Bacon Inc. Bar and Grill�s Facebook page had secured almost 700 �likes� as of Tuesday.
While he isn�t sure how public health leaders feel about his venture, he believes he�s giving the customers what they want.
�Until some legislation passes that tells me I can�t do it, I�m going to keep it up,� he said.

All you wanted to know about bacon:
- Bacon originated in China
- It�s one of the oldest preserved meats in history. People began salting and preserving pork belly as early as 1500 B.C.
- 62 percent of U.S. restaurants have bacon on the menu
- More than 1.7 billion pounds of bacon are consumed in food service every year in the U.S.
- International Bacon Day is celebrated each year on the Saturday before Labor Day
- A 200-pound pig produces about 20 pounds of bacon
- Seventy percent of U.S. bacon consumption occurs at breakfast
- An artist recently used real bacon crumbles to create a bust of actor Kevin Bacon
- In September 2012, the National Pig Association of the United Kingdom triggered a minor uproar by stating that a world shortage of pork and bacon in 2013 would be �unavoidable�

Mobile app development is a huge pain point for most enterprises. The debate still rages about the best strategy. Should you develop native apps for the major smartphone and tablet platforms? That's expensive and time-consuming, and it means hiring hard-to-find specialists for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and any other platform you want to support. Should you develop mobile Web apps? That is faster and cheaper, but sacrifices both performance and features. Should you develop hybrid mobile apps, combining native app shells with Web views? That still sacrifices performance in some cases, but recovers the most important features.
The Mobile Chrome Apps development kit, recently released as a developer preview, takes the hybrid app strategy. It adds some value to the PhoneGap/Cordova technology on which it is built by combining that technology with many of the core Chrome APIs, giving developers access to a larger palette of capabilities and the ability to target Chrome apps, as well as iOS and Android hybrid mobile apps. On the flip side, this new tool chain is incompatible with some of the niceties available to PhoneGap developers, such as Adobe PhoneGap Build, and it targets only the top two mobile platforms, not the half-dozen or so supported by PhoneGap/Cordova.
Some of the most impressive Chrome desktop apps rely on Flash (or Flex, which also uses the Flash runtime), called from JavaScript. Unfortunately, that won't work on current mobile devices. Apple never allowed Flash on iOS, and Adobe stopped supporting its Flash Player for Android in 2012.
Google's Mobile Chrome Apps tool chain at a glance
Combines Apache Cordova-based app shells for Android and iOS with Chrome and Google APIs
Easier and less time-consuming than writing separate Android, iOS, and Chrome apps
Adds some value beyond what is included in plain Apache Cordova by giving you Chrome apps as well
Requires a Mac for the iOS development (unlike PhoneGap Build)
Doesn't support Windows Phone, BlackBerry, or other less important PhoneGap targets
Not exactly the most streamlined, integrated development environment
Platforms Targets iOS 6 or later and Android 4.x or later. Requires Node.js for all targets. Requires Java JDK 7, Android SDK 4.4.2 or later, and Apache Ant for targeting Android. Requires Xcode 5, ios-deploy, and ios-sim for targeting iOS.
Google Chrome meets Apache Cordova
PhoneGap started life as a quick hack at an iPhoneDevCamp event and eventually grew into a widely adopted open source project targeting multiple mobile platforms, under the auspices of Nitobi Inc. By 2009, PhoneGap apps ran on iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry. Adobe bought Nitobi in 2011 and contributed the PhoneGap code to the Apache Software Foundation to start a new project, Apache Cordova. Adobe PhoneGap is now a superset of Apache Cordova, in much the same way as Apple Safari and Google Chrome are supersets of WebKit.
In 2012, Adobe introduced PhoneGap Build, a subscription-based Web application that compiles PhoneGap HTML5/JavaScript/CSS3 projects into hybrid apps for various mobile platforms. The Cordova framework code itself continues to be free open source. Without PhoneGap Build, developers need to install and maintain the SDKs for all the mobile platforms they wish to target. With PhoneGap Build, the chore of maintaining the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8 SDKs locally can be avoided, and building for these three platforms becomes a matter of updating your project in GitHub and pushing a button. The latest PhoneGap Build does not support the other Cordova targets: Amazon Fire OS, BlackBerry 10, Ubuntu, Windows Phone 7, Windows 8, and Tizen.
It took me about two hours to install the Mobile Chrome Apps development kit and all its requirements on my iMac. I already had most of the major pieces installed, such as Node.js, the Android SDK, and Xcode, although I needed to do some updates and add Java and Ant to the Bash path. If you're starting from scratch, it may take you longer. If you already have all the prerequisites up to date, you may be up and running in less than an hour. If you're working on a Windows machine, you won't be able to build iOS apps, but you will be able to build Android and Chrome apps.
In addition to providing the application shell, Mobile Chrome Apps gives you access to many of the Chrome and Cordova APIs. The Chrome APIs include:
identity -- use OAuth2 access tokens to sign-in users without prompting for passwords
payments -- sell virtual goods within your mobile app
pushMessaging -- push messages to your app from your server
sockets -- send and receive data over the network using TCP and UDP
notifications (currently Android only) -- send rich notifications from your mobile app
storage -- store and retrieve key-value data locally
syncFileSystem -- store and synchronize files on Google Drive
alarms -- run tasks periodically or at a specified time in the future
The application shell gives a hybrid app retained state that isn't available to a mobile Web app. You can see the difference dramatically on your phone or tablet when you switch to a different app and then back. The hybrid app comes back the way you left it; the Web app doesn't.
If you think about what's being provided by the Chrome APIs listed above, you can see that some important capabilities are missing -- for example, access to the native device file system, access to the device's accelerometer and camera, playing and recording audio, and handling device events.
Fortunately, these capabilities are available, either from HTML5, or from the Cordova APIs, some of which are implemented as device-dependent Cordova plug-ins. The Cordova APIs include:
Accelerometer -- tap into the device's motion sensor
Camera -- take a photo using the device's camera
Capture -- access media files using the device's media capture applications
Compass -- obtain the direction that the device is pointing
Connection -- check the network state and cellular network information
Contacts -- work with the device's contacts database
Device -- gather device-specific information
Events -- hook into native events through JavaScript
File -- hook into the native file system through JavaScript
Geolocation -- make your application location aware
Globalization -- obtain information or perform operations specific to a locale and time zone
InAppBrowser -- launch URLs in another in-app browser instance
Media -- record and play back audio files
Notification -- generate visual, audible, and tactile device notifications
Splashscreen -- show and hide the application's splash screen
Storage -- hook into the device's native storage options
You'll notice that the Indexed Database API, aka IndexedDB, is not listed, either in the Chrome APIs or the Cordova APIs. That's because it is part of HTML5 [33]. Unfortunately, IndexedDB isn't yet supported in iOS Safari. There is a hack to implement IndexedDB over WebSQL that works on Safari, however.
From Chrome apps to mobile apps
The Mobile Chrome Apps development kit implements a command-line tool, cca (Cordova Chrome app), and supports the Android Development Tools (ADT 4.4.2 or higher) and Xcode 5, which in turn includes the Xcode command-line tools. You'll need Java JDK 7 and Apache Ant as well as the ADT for Android development, and both ios-deploy and ios-sim in addition to Xcode 5 for iOS development.
The cca tool is quite similar to the Cordova phonegap command-line tool. Like phonegap, cca can create a project in a directory, add or remove a plug-in, add or remove a platform, build a project, and run a project on a platform. In addition, cca can check its environment, copy an existing Chrome app project into a new Mobile Chrome project, and run a local Web server.
Note that after editing the Web source code, in either IDE or any other editor, you need to run the cca prepare command to generate updated mobile code before it can be reflected in the emulator or simulator. Among other things, the cca prepare command copies the contents of the "www" project directory into the two platform-dependent directories platforms/android/assets/www and platforms/ios/www, copies the Cordova JavaScript files, and generates manifest JSON files.
Unfortunately, the cca prepare command messes up the flow for a developer who wants to "live" in one of the IDEs. If there is a way to incorporate this command into the build cycle automatically, I haven't yet found it -- although in principle it should be simple. Worse, when you run the cca prepare command, the IDEs don't automatically reload the updated manifests. They just complain that the manifests are out of sync and refuse to run the project until you manually force the synchronization.
Given that the Mobile Chrome Apps tool chain is currently billed as nothing more than a developer preview, these limitations are reasonable. At the same time, I'd love for it to have better IDE integration. I'm looking forward to the next version, but in its current state I wouldn't want to try to ship an app using it.

Sky Bet Championship: Watford thrash nine-man Leeds 4-1 at Vicarage Road
Last Updated: 24/08/14 11:18pm
Watford kept their place among the Sky Bet Championship's early-season pace-setters with a 4-1 win over nine-man Leeds at Vicarage Road.
The sides were level at the interval after Fernando Forestieri's opener had been cancelled out by a Gabriel Tamas own goal, but the game swung in the hosts' favour after the interval when Giuseppe Bellusci was sent off after bringing down Forestieri in the penalty area.
Troy Deeney dispatched the spot-kick and Forestieri applied the gloss soon after with a fine third.
That looked like it would be the end of the scoring until added-time when Daniel Tozser added the Hornets' fourth from a long-range free-kick before Sam Byram became the second Leeds player to be sent off for an apparent elbow on Daniel Pudil.
Watford started the brighter of the two sides with Forestieri and Deeney having early efforts and their attacking endeavours were rewarded with the opening goal in the 20th minute.
The move was started and finished by Forestieri, who initially did well to bring under a control an over-hit Tozser corner before stepping inside a challenge and laying a pass off to Deeney. The striker back-heeled the ball into the penalty area, Gianni Munari helped it on and, after seeing his first shot saved by Marco Silvestri, Forestieri kept his eye on the ball to head the rebound past the Leeds goalkeeper.
The Hornets continued to look comfortable but a slice of good fortune got Leeds back on terms in the 32nd minute when Billy Sharp's low cross from the right was turned into his own net by the outstretched leg of Tamas, with goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes powerless to do anything about the equaliser.
Having been pegged back, the home side spurned a great chance to retake the lead four minutes later when Almen Abdi's right-sided corner picked out the unmarked Tommie Hoban but he headed over from no more than five yards out.
Both sides had opportunities to take the lead within the first two minutes of the second half; Forestieri curling a shot from the edge of the penalty area just wide before Jason Pearce headed a free-kick narrowly over the top.
But the complexion of the game changed in the 57th minute when a mix-up in the Leeds defence gave Forestieri the opportunity to break on goal, only for him to be fouled from behind by Giuseppe Bellusci.
Referee James Linington had no hesitation in pointing to the penalty-spot before brandishing a red card in the direction of the Italian debutant for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity and Deeney comfortably dispatched the spot-kick.
The excellent Forestieri then made it 3-1 in the 67th minute, latching on to a Munari pass on the left side of the penalty area and evading challenge after challenge as he jinked his way across the 18-yard box before finding the bottom corner via Silvestri's right-hand upright.
Watford added a fourth in injury time when Tozser fired home a superb 30-yard free-kick, before Leeds were reduced to nine men when Byram was shown a straight red card for elbowing Pudil.

Free Shipping Friday & Flashback to... Easter at Ralph Lauren in East Hampton
**Repost from April 2011. I'm re-sharing this today because I found myself looking back at these photos yesterday while looking for exterior inspiration for our renovation/addition. The exterior of the Ralph Lauren Children's Store in East Hampton is one of my all time favorites. Cedar shakes, Navy shutters, Brass accents, Cream raised paneled trim and boxwood. Not only is there a lot of architectural design inspiration in this post, but beautiful whimsical Easter delights, too.
While you enjoy browsing, enjoy Free Shipping off of every order in my store today! Use the code : FreeFriday at checkout. Happy Easter Weekend!
As promised, here is post solely dedicated to the Ralph Lauren Children store in East Hampton. The outside is perfect - feels like a home. I love the navy shutters... taking notes for homes in my future.
East Hampton Weekend getaway here!
Darling Easter outfits - how fun would it be to do the window displays for Ralph Lauren?
I can see Samantha in that plaid number.
It is so incredible - I think it must have been made from plaster or some sort of material. Can't wait to do this somewhere! Any takers out there?
East Hampton Weekend getaway here!

As Im readying my yard for bees I decided to invest in a few apple trees. I must say I enjoy a good glass of apple cider almost as much as I can enjoy a spoon full of honey, not to mention the wonderful product one can get by combining the two [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Now I realize I wont have enough apples to make much cider for a while yet, but it does not hurt to plan for the future. Does anyone know were I may be able to find a good set of (free) plans to build a masher and cider press? Are there any other wonderful resources out there akin to beesource but for cider making?

One thing that came out of Terry Tao's recent blog posts on this matter (first post and follow up) is that it's hard to get an overview of all the different ways of getting one's amazing mathematics onto the web. I thought it'd be useful to gather together a list of such. This meant to be a list of ways to do it, not examples of where it's already being done.
Standard community wiki rules: one thing per answer and feel free to edit other's answers.
Additional rules: it'd be useful to have a little more than just links. A brief description, pros and cons (be objective), platforms (does it only work on Linux, sort of thing) - things that might help someone decide which things to examine further.

I've never heard of the "Awkward Turtle" but it does have me intrigued.
"The Awkward Turtle is done by placing one of your hands over the other with both palms facing down, sticking your thumbs outward, and rotating both of your thumbs forward in a circular motion. The speed of the rotation reflects on the degree of awkwardness. This gesture is performed after something awkward has just happened or when there is an awkward silence. When someone makes the awkward turtle gesture, the goal of all others involved in the awkward moment is to be the first to make their own turtle gesture and hump the original turtle before any other players can."
Will you be joining the awkward turtle revolution? If so, pick up an Awkward Turtle tee from Regal Clothing Co. for £17.99 and be sure to use the coupon code "JINGLEBELLS" at checkout for 25% off your entire order!

Why You Need to Start Accepting Mobile Payments Now
Mobile payments are a win-win for merchants and customers.
For merchants, accepting them -- directly from their smartphone or tablet via a mobile payment card options like Square, PayPal Here or Chase Paymentech -- frees them up to sell anyplace, anytime. It also helps them more quickly clinch impulse buys, better control their payment processing fees, streamline sales tracking and reporting, and the list of benefits goes on. The biggest advantage is the ability to satisfy their customers faster.
For customers, swiping their cards on a merchants' mobile device lets them pay for products and services on the go in an easy, more customized-to-them way. They can sign for purchases and tip directly from your handheld gadget. Paying via mobile also gives customers more choice in less time, enhancing engagement and increasing the chances of a positive checkout experience. Do they want their receipt via email, text message or printed receipt? With a mobile payment system, it's up to them in seconds flat.
In this video, Brent Reinhard, general manager of Ink from Chase, says you won't want to miss out on accepting mobile payments because the process enhances how you interact with your customers. And happy customers often equal repeat business, which leads to higher profits.
"So even if you're an established retail store," he says, "if you can get people away from the traditional checkout counter experience as being the last experience they have with your store, and you can interact with them in a very close and personal way, mobile payments acceptance allows you to do that."
It's not just brick-and-mortar retail businesses that can benefit from embracing mobile payments. Accepting them is a boon for any small- to mid-sized enterprise, Reinhard says, service-based operations included.
"[Mobile payments] have given business who in the past were traditional cash-only businesses the opportunity to expand their market." For instance, an increasing number of hair stylists, food truck purveyors and farmer's market sellers are hopping on the trend, which is only getting hotter.

omfg .. If ONLY every man saw this. Most of a woman's most sensitive nerve endings are here, at her entrance. The clit is about 10 times more sensitive than the man's glans & responds best to pressure rather than stroking. Short jabs are perfect. We love seeing an erect man & him jizzing the most... it's his hardness that does it for me, along with his cock head. Huge turnoff? She was gawking at camera instead of being in the moment. They are both extremely talented though : ) Loved the theme as anticipation always produces more precum & lubrication.. A couple of super-slow, deep strokes at the end... and seeing him shoot over her clit would have been awesome! Thx, we need more teasers, there's heaps of pounding vids.
I agree 100% with you. It's that slow build up that makes a woman wet and wanting. I always take my time. I always lick a woman for at least an hour and by then, she is very wet and telling me to stick it in me!! So I do but I tease her more like he did.
Yep. Regarding what he's doing starting at 11 minutes.... if you as a guy can have the discipline to do that for at least 10 minutes, you will find that she'll be screaming to be fucked. Nine times out of 10 I do this to my wife and she invariably gets super wet and orgasms within 5 minutes of me going inside her. The payoff is huge. You just gotta be disciplined.
So my wife and I (we're both 41) stumbled onto this video a few weeks ago. We tried what's done in this video--just kind of teasing each other but my cock never really getting inside her (the only exception is that she did take me deep into her mouth beforehand). Anyway, after about 5 or so minutes of teasing, we both gave in and I went deep into her and we fucked hard. I'm amazed this guy held out as long as he did.
I love to tease my boyfriends like that. Most of them don´t last very long though one guy lasted most part of the morning and we did it once more in the afternoon. Best sex ever!!!
If i was one of them, i would have came sooo hard inside that pussy when the tip on my cock was in there. Sooo fucking hot..just thinking about it makes me wanna cum soo bad
I like this cameltoe
right before the orgazm he should put his dick deep inside her pussy and do few powerfull steps - that will be exellent pleasure oh yes it is.. oh i want it!
she's so pretty! not vulgar or bitchy: she's just a nice girl! I have to find mine like her damn
I love Mellie, wish she was with me
her lips
the tip is in. thats sex
did you see the pre cum he sould have put his cock all the way inside her cunt a few strokes before coming off
I fell in love with this girl ...
She could tease me anytime with her gorgeous body and sweet looking pussy
lila I would do that and more to you baby
she doing it like it nothing
lol cops in the beggining
OK during that tease job I would have cum no doubt about it. Then after a short rest I''d cram my cock all the way in & pinch her tits so hard & tell her I want to feel that pussy squirm no I am not pulling out my dick start having an orgasm
her name really mellie swan?
22 minutes of bullshit. Just fuck it already...
stop looking at cam !! debutant !! enjoy the dick..is the game !!
Name please
beautiful bod, zero sex appeal
That guy must have jerked out a load before starting with her or he never would have made it for 20 minutes.
She likes rubbing that circumcised cockhead on her clit!
Fucking her beautiful pussy lips with that circumcised cock!
She's so cute! Great body too
La puntita, nada mas.
She's nane?
If only more porn had girls like this!
I love her!
I think this video has more comments than any I have ever seen. I can see why too, I have masturbated to this more than any other video. She is simply perfect, at least the front of her.
come to suck my dick
I just wanted to chop her head off, her facial feature never changed! it got creepy after a while
I'd have shoved my cock deep in that tight little cunt and emptied my balls inside her. Fuck I've got a big load ready to explode. I'm leaking pre cum
Incredibly hot. Exactly the way i like a hand job... her in charge and almost torturing me with the sloow steady buildup. Loved how she used her pussy entrance at 14;00 and on, but never stopped with her hand. And she's SO cute, great eyes, smile and facial expression.
hot hot hot
it's called teasing handjob ... that's why one hand is used
Hot bitch but a very boring vid. Zzzzzzzzz
that is one of the greatest porn vid i have ever seen.
Great control. Took me long time to be able to make my wife cum by rubbing het clit with my bell end. Like most guys just wanted to go balls dep.
With your wife?
SHE MAkes me come!!
She is a finest girl in the trade, Teresa Polanska. She is staying my favourite!
ero forse io che ti telefonavp...uomo di merda e malato proprio!!!!
odd, must be christians...
massimo di carrara R.
she's so pretty, and her tits are awesome... want to marry her!
she is great!
wonderful perfect girl...fantastic sex...***** five stars
This is teasing to the nth degree and her boobs are really lovely. Such control on both sides with all that teasing.
she's really adorable
Why do so many women only use one hand? Could be so much better. Use them both ladies, especially near the ending....and don't forget the balls.
would love to have her give my black cock a hand job
We couldn't give a shit what color your dick is, asshole. Sex is not about race.
"Outercourse," or the closest and yet furthest away from the real thing as you can get! Sometimes that hardcore teasing will make you stiffer than a redwood, and make you blast off like it could launch a Saturn V rocket!!
Boring as fuck.
i came harder than a horse
elle ma bien chaufer!
I could ask this girl to marry me lol
sie braucht mal einen, der sie tief und hard durchfickt
what a cute girl! :O
Also ertmal - mädel haste jut gemacht...doch was zu Hölle is das für ein Typ. Der es schafft da nicht reflexartig seinen schwanz in die mumu zu ballern. Kranker scheiß
She really knows how to work a cock. Nice job!!
on youporn
great action, awesome girl with sweet body.
OMG !! You really did put a spell on me baby @#$%^!!!!!! start to 4:15 i couldn't take my eyes of yours - you're mesmerising !! 1st porn ever where i felt part of it... In my head we communicated with each other. It's funny - one of my best porn experiences is looking in to someones eyes... Thank you*
a hairy man, not as shaved as a chicken breast!
Vry sexual hot yng women, awesome hand job, perfect tite wet yng cunt she contols the show luv the way she contues tostoke cock asfter it in her wet cunt, nice cunshot needs a hoter guy to fuck her tho.
Wow. A hundred times wow. The pinnacle of sex. This is a mystical experience ( and I'm not usually the new agey type.) Thanks to the girl (!!) , and the photog crew, with the talent to capture such intense eroticism. It doesnt get better than this. I'll be going to sleep with a smile tonight.
Möchte sie ficken
She has the most beautiful smile an sexiest eyes. I envy that man very very much. She is an exquisite women. Perfect if I say so myself :)
Hot! What a tease she is! Reminds me a little of me as a teen. I would not let a guy get all the way inside me. Until I was 17 and a guy I was playing with just pushed me down and rammed his cock in balls deep and fucked the shit out of me.
Gorgeous girl!
awesome, she is gorgeous, the tension is incredible, amazing he held out for that long. The temptation to bury my cock deep into her pussy would have been too much for me to last 20 mins I think.
She kinda looks like April from Parks and Rec
She could tease me all night
I would fucking marry this girl
That's what my girlfriend does to me, when I'm about to come, she grabs my dick while I'm still inside of her and she starts jerking me while I keep fucking her! Sometimes I come inside of her and sometimes on her tits, each time it's hard to decide because it's too exciting! It incredibly amplifies pleasure!
I have started a comment several times and have not yet made it. Somehow my hands always end up gooey! I love teasing pussy they way he is doing it. Rubbing a hard, cummy dick on the lips and clit is the cat's meow. This chick is also seen here: Sexy striptease
lovely tits for creaming on
Evolver got to agree. I think they drag guys off the street and offer them a shag in return for filming them
she has sexy moans
Much better than the standard US porn hard and fast with a guy in a t-shirt and socks.
fuckkkk this reminds me of the first time i ever did it with my gf... loved it :)
What a stunning girl. Got me hard the moment I saw her beautiful face. Love to see more of her
Looks like a girl who gave a blow while nickleback was playing "I know who you are". Same facial profile and lips...very nice!
her face when pleasured is remarkable! woman you would kill for!
I found Belinda in Europe and talked her into visiting with me for awhile, which is why she hasn't made many more movies.
I know where you can see more of her!
very nice sex...i want to see more of this girl
he was the one doing the teasing, having a guy only inserting the tip in me for that long would be frustrating
That was just awesome.

PSU braces for return of students and the flu
Thursday, January 10, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
On Monday, more than 7,000 students will return to the Pittsburg State University campus. They'll be bringing lots of things with them as they move back into their rooms in the residence halls or set up their apartments across the city. Some of them will also probably bring the flu.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Kansas is one of 41 states in which influenza activity is widespread and officials in PSU's Bryant Student Health Center are preparing for its share of cases.
"We have seen our first case of positive influenza A this week, so it is in the PSU community," said Carrie Farrington, a medical provider in the health center.
Farrington said that one of the first things students should do when they return to campus is to get their flu shot, if they haven't already done so.
"We have a limited number of flu shots available here at the health center and I would encourage students to come and get them as soon as possible," Farrington said. "It is not too late to get immunized. It does take a couple of weeks for the immunization to reach full effect, so the sooner the better."
Farrington said the other thing students can do to minimize their risk is to practice good prevention.
"Everyone has heard this, but it is absolutely true. The most important thing to do is good hand washing," Farrington said.
Students and staff who do come down with the flu are urged to stay home and avoid contact with others until their symptoms have passed.
"Staying home when you are sick will help keep the cases of the flu down on campus," Farrington said. "We encourage students who live on campus to return home, if at all possible, during the illness. We recommend not going to class until the person has been fever-free for at least 24 hours."
The most common symptoms of the influenza virus are high fever (usually over 101), headache and generalized muscle aches, sore throat, cough, fatigue, and occasionally vomiting or diarrhea.
Farrington said most flu symptoms last three to seven days.
Students may schedule appointments at the student health center online, by phone or in person.

Mercedes me connect enables your car to share information in real time with your Mercedes-Benz Retailer to help with vehicle maintenance, diagnostics, and more.Learn more
Key driver information at a glance, without the driver having to take their eyes off the road – this is a feature made possible by the Head-up Display. It projects a virtual image measuring approximately 21 x 7 cm into the driver's field of vision, which appears to float around 2 metres in front of him/her, above the bonnet. The information is displayed in high-resolution and in colour making it clearly legible even on sunny days and at night.
A combination of complementary safety and assistance systems helps to relieve driver strain, reduces the risk of accidents and improves protection for the occupants as well as other road users. In addition to proximity control, DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot provides a great deal of stress-relieving comfort by also assisting with lateral vehicle guidance. BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist can reduce the risk of rear-end collisions and accidents at junctions and assist the driver with additional brake pressure during emergency braking. PRE-SAFE Brake warns the driver if the danger of a collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian is detected, and if there is no reaction reduces the vehicle speed autonomously. Active Blind Spot Assist can warn the driver of vehicles in the blind spot during a lane change and can help to avoid a collision by means of one-sided braking intervention.
Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC provides driver assistance by helping to look for a parking space and also using active steering and brake actuation to make entering or leaving a parking space easy. It calculates of a suitable trajectory from the vehicle's current position and gives a visual and audible warning if there are obstacles in front of or behind the vehicle. The 360° camera has four networked cameras to monitor all four sides of the vehicle when parking and manoeuvring./**/ /**/
With this convenient access and drive authorisation system, the driver only needs to carry the key with them. All the doors can be unlocked and locked by touching the door handle, without having to hold the key. With the help of the KEYLESS-GO starting function, the engine can also be conveniently switched on and off by pressing the start/stop button in the ignition lock. For even more convenicne, the addition of HANDS-FREE ACCES allows contactless, fully automatic opening and closing of the tailgate by performing a kicking movement under the rear bumper./**/ /**/
For the best possible visibility on country roads and motorways, when cornering and on bends, the low-beam mode of the LED Intelligent Light System automatically adapts to the weather, lighting and driving conditions. The clearly defined contours and high-quality detailing with three-dimensional design ensure that the vehicle also has an unmistakable front view in the daytime too./**/ /**/

Byrnes is one of the finest Canuck blues singers, but he's actually from St. Louis originally. This album is a tribute to the songs he grew up with, most associated with the city and its great players from jazz, blues and soul history. He's also penned some originals inspired by that rich legacy, and the glory of the album is trying to spot the original versus the more obscure covers, such is the high quality. A few you'll recognize, such as W.C. Handy's St. Louis Blues, included here in a more rootsy interpretation, and Chuck Berry's Nadine, a little less frantic, the better to hear the awesome wordplay of rock and roll's first poet.
Producer once again by Steve Dawson, the master acoustic musician is the perfect collaborator for this, recreating everything from early 1900's jazz to Lonnie Johnson blues to Fontella Bass soul. Highlights include an old St. Louis brothel number from Stump Johnson, The Duck's Yas Yas Yas, risque back then, but just funny now, as Byrnes is joined by old pal John Hammond to trade verses. Situated between Motown and Memphis, it's fitting that the Fontella Bass/Bobby McLure number, You'll Miss Me (When I'm Gone) sounds equal parts southern and northern soul. It's another fine duet, this one with Colleen Rennison of the group No Sinner. Cake Alley is a true gem, an old horn number about a real place on the very poor side of town.
As for Byrnes' own numbers, Somebody Lied could have come out in the 60's and been a hurtin' soul ballad, and the spoken-word The Journey Home is quite poignant, a series of memories from decades ago, the band laying back and Byrnes reminiscing about the Cardinals and the intersection of the Missouri and Mississippi. St. Louis gets left out of most conversations about American music, but in the year of the 250th anniversary of its founding, an old homebody has come back to speak up for its history.

Dave's True Storyat Gravity LoungeSunday, May 1
Wouldn't it be cool to have a place in town that was a bar, Internet café, music venue, bookstore, and library all rolled into one? You couldn't go wrong with that combination. A place like that would appeal to so many demographics: the cyber-geek, the alcoholic, the avid music watcher/listener, and a time-killing browser. Not to mention it would just be cool to walk into a place, check email, order a drink, pull up a seat next to a wall of books, and put your feet up for two hours listening to relaxing music.
Oh, wait. What am I thinking? One place in town has all those bases covered, and it's where I found myself last Sunday, kicking back with a book and a decaf in a quiet little nook listening to the epitome of chill– my first paragraph fantasy come to life.
The band performing was listed as a noir jazz ensemble. While I don't know exactly what that means, I can say that Dave's True Story definitely is a jazz ensemble. By the end of the night, I concluded that noir must be Latin for mellow. Who knows? Makes sense to me. Dave's True Story is a guitar, upright bass, and drums trio featuring a female vocalist, Kelly Flint.
After the first set I really wanted to purchase the band's CD, but I realized there was no way I could own their music without buying a parlor with a mini-bar. At least that's the visual when I put my head back and really absorbed the group's sound.
Dave's True Story is down-tempo lounge jazz with a lot of silk and sexiness. I imagined their songs as the soundtrack to one of those black and white detective movies with the first-person voice-over. You know– the kind where the dame with big breasts comes into the office with bigger problems. Eventually she suckers the sleuth...
David Cantor (the band's eponymous guitarist) writes one hell of a melody. His tone has no blemishes, and his technique is beyond solid. One can't imagine his songs could ever be harsh to the ear.
Flint perfectly intertwines with Dave's lazy fingers. Her vocals come across as quite inviting, and her subject matter ranges from the intellectual to the very sexual. Hard to dislike a woman like that.
Dave's True Story played beautifully for the "small but mighty" crowd in attendance. I think they enjoyed the Gravity Lounge as much as I did. And because Gravity has early shows, I was home in time for the 11 o'clock news.
What more could I ask for?

Project Canvas, the BBC-led subscription free digital TV service, has been formally announced as 'YouView'. YouView will comprise seven days worth of catchup TV similar to the BBC's existing BBC iPlayer service, as well as a website offering free TV on demand, apps and widgets. TV providers signed up to take part include the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five.
YouView will launch with a seven day EPG (electronic programming guide) that goes both backwards and forward, allowing viewers to watch or record any programme from the whole week. The service should launch in the first half of 2011.
Set-top boxes will be designed for the Freeview DTT platform and include a PVR (personal video recorder) similar to the Sky+ and Virgin TV boxes. There's no word on who will build the set-top-boxes. Once viewers have bought a set-top-box, there will be no further subscription fees, although YouView requires a broadband connection to work.
Richard Halton, formerly project director, has been appointed as CEO of the newly formed YouView TV Ltd. He will work alongside Kip Meek, the company chairman, appointed in August.
"YouView is a brilliant new subscription-free TV service which combines the best TV with on demand services and internet content. I am delighted to be leading the team who will make it a reality and think it will change the way we watch TV forever," said Halton.
However, not everyone is happy with today's news. Sky has previously expressed its displeasure, and a Virgin Media spokesperson told Broadband TV News: "There's a pressing need for a thorough and independent examination of this closed, anti-competitive platform as it will restrict consumer choice and stifle innovation."
"We're all already paying for this through the licence fee, whether we want it or not, so we urge Ofcom to bring some much needed transparency to the whole collaboration."
YouView is owned and operated by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, BT, TalkTalk and Arqiva.

UnNews:Neil Armstrong appears on geek sitcom
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
27 October 2012
EARTH, Macrocosm -- Halloween came early for many pop science enthusiasts, as the late space pioneer and American hero Neil Armstrong planted his flag on the hit CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory. Or rather, his cold, lifeless corpse did. Bazinga™!
The plot of Thursday night's episode revolved around a Halloween party at the local comic book store, as planned by the character Raj Koothrappali. At one point he decided it would be topical to fix up a wax figure of Neil Armstrong to look like a zombie. However, during the party Leonard pointed out that the figure would inspire their friend Howard "Fruit Loops" Wolowitz to yet again brag about his short time as an astronaut, having recently returned from the International Space Station. It's at this moment Howard walks into the comic book store. Thus, the situation creates a series of hilarious hijinks in which the gang attempts to hide and sneak out the figure without arousing suspicion. While within the context of the episode the figure was meant to be merely fake, the role was filled by Neil Armstrong's genuine dead body as a wink to the audience.
"Oh, it was real," claimed series creator Chuck Lorre. "We even had Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer dig it up, at risk of his own criminal arrest and rumors of necrophilia. Ya see, he's kinda our bitch that way."
The fact that it was actually Armstrong's relatively fresh body was a secret held by only a small circle of producers, and was only revealed publicly on the day the episode aired. The morbid stunt was a ploy to boost The Big Bang Theory's staggering ratings, as most of the show's nerd fanbase is beginning to realize it laughs at them more than it laughs with them. "Originally," says Lorre, "we were simply gonna have Buzz Aldrin hand out punny astronomy-themed candy to trick-or-treaters, but that seemed sorta cheesy, even for one of my shows. I figured if we were gonna aim for the moon, let's aim for the freaking moon, baby!"
Lorre and co. have assured the media, NASA and the courts that Armstrong's body rests safely back in its proper burial place, no harm, no foul. However, there were hints of a future second appearance tied into a storyline involving the series' own Sideshow Bob, Wil Wheaton. As it stands, the carcass of the first man on the moon holds the series' record for least animated guest star, narrowly beating out Stephen Hawking and a dream sequence Spock action figure voiced out-loud by Leonard Nimoy.

Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy opens much like Peter Jacksons
Braindead, during a crazy jungle expedition near the Okavango Delta in the Republic of Botswana. Like
Braindead, some explorers run into a few red-garbed tribal folks, ending with a member of the crew becoming infected. This time, instead of a rat-monkey, a sorry someone is infected by a parasite resembling a pissed off Aylmer (Brain Damage). Instead of a bite causing infection, she is penetrated while sitting on the groups Styrofoam container. Thus begins a typically zany Japanese journey.
Jump to some time in the future. A group of five (two guys and three gals) enter an abandoned building at the end of a wooded path. Their purpose is to spend the night in the building to have sex, drink booze and party. The ladies waste no time busting out the booze, and out of their clothing. One couple explores the vicinity away from the others. When they run into a mysterious chamber containing a frozen naked woman (our original penetrated personality) wrapped in plastic. They simply continue on their merry way, until they find a room containing a giant square tub of water, readily filled to the brim for willing participants. The couple returns to the others to drink and dance, while the cinematographer, gets as close to the ladies crotchs and breasts as possible, in a sequence of upbeat catchy Japanese music.
Next, cut to one of the girls soaping her body outside the bathtub-oasis as she sings strangely If Youre Happy and You Know It (I guess shes happy). She enters the tub, and before long, our mysterious plastic wrapped woman enters the room and joins her in the pool. The strange ladys face is blank and pale, and before long, the two are diking it out in the water. A tadpole-like creature protrudes from one mouth to another, and we now have a new infected. Leaving the water, our new tainted temptress walks along a hall and enters another room, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs ala Little Red Riding Hood, but instead of a trail of breadcrumbs, a repulsive trail of parasitic vaginal bile. Impressed by the pile of toxic love juice, her significant other follows her into the room; excited at his enhanced chances of getting laid. After all shes obviously horny, look at all that green goo!! Our horny hopeful gets his wish, but the
Sexual Parasite makes him pay for it
with his life. Will the others succumb to this very fate?
The Asian parasitic Aylmer lives inside his female carriers, until its time to pounce. Its a pretty comical vision to see a womans private regions crudely transformed into a slimy hand puppet mouth with a mass of misshapen teeth; a
Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy that gobbles on its victims. The film even shows tunnel views from deep inside, just before the parasite is about to unleash itself. Just when it figures it has worn out its welcome it shoots out more tadpoles to enter another unwilling target.
Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy may sound more evil than it is. The film portrays itself in a more comical, over-the-top light. In the end, the movie comes across too goofy for viewers to take it as something of a more malicious or misogynistic nature. The film definitely is an excuse to show attractive big-breasted Asian women, and gore. Its funny that Japanese censors wont allow the showing of pubic hair, but many Japanese films show other far more gratuitous scenes. It sure seems like the movies director (Takao Nakano) was desperate to get away with as much semi-frontal nudity shots as possible. Its as if Nakano pushes ever so slightly questionable nudity to the very edge of the frame, just enough to appear out of view. The use of plastic wrap over the original infected victim was comical, since the camera pans across her body giving a slight glimpse of her private region. In the end, not enough to require fogging I guess. Some short scenes of fogging are present during
Killer Pussy, but isnt as distracting as it is in sick flicks like
Psycho: The Snuff Reels.
A slight downside to
Sexual Parasite: Killer Pussy would be the use of digital effects, which often come across less effective than intended. Other than that, there is a quantity of intentional nipple-slips, and naked ladies to satisfy even the most jaded pervert. There is also a nice assortment of gore, including a girl getting choked to death with her very own viscera.
Overall this is a fast paced, short 60-minute film that delivers a bizarre storyline that is largely entertaining. With a title like
Killer Pussy, viewers should know what theyre getting into.

Y'all know us. We can spout some adjectives and adverbs like nobody's business should the vibe hit us.
But there aren't any words to describe Eric Ross' latest effect, Conspiracy. Check out the trailer:
The word "visual" is so overused these days, but Ross has created an up-front, visual color change that is easy to adapt into your existing routines. Even if it's not a card routine: Conspiracy can be used with anything that can fit under the cellophane wrapper of a deck of cards. Keys, business cards, movie ticket stubs, pictures*, credit cards, written messages**, coins, money, tenebrio*** or anything else you can think of.
When we first saw this, we were swept away. Took us a few repeat viewings before we could get back to work, frankly. Ross will get the gears in your head grinding when you see how easy this is. From the setup to the actual performance, they never see what's coming. Beautiful stuff. Conspiracy is available now for $14.95.
