*Rumor: Microsoft First Parties "Six Months Behind" On Next-Gen Games – roundtable discussion
*Call Of Duty Ghosts
*Again….. Wii U debate
*No Madden NFL football from EA Sports on Wii U in 2013
*Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer
*Truth or False
MS will just splurge on whatever weak willed 3rd party studios they can find. It's worked for them in the past although it's more of a temporary fix, here's hoping their 1st party get to grips with the new hardware asap.
Dude, you shouldn't be that naive. These people don't know jack about MS or the industry itself. They just look for articles on the net(whether true or not) and gossip.
And you know everything about them, lol.
I agree that it's all speculation, but still, you have to admit, its not like Microsoft isn't the weakest in terms of 1st party software portfolio.
How can you be behind 6 months if you don't have much to show before that? It's not like Microsoft has been pumping out 1st party games for the past few years. Nintendo and Sony seem to be able to handle both handheld and console game supplies, especially Sony.
I'd like to see Microsoft invest more into new studios and not just with the same ip's or XBLA and Kinect games.
"And you know everything about them, lol."
They're in the gaming journalism industry. That fact alone makes Belking's point pretty legitimate in my eyes.
The Kotaku rumor isn't going to hurt a fly.
MS just simply needs to show off the goods over the course of these 3 months and all the fake speculation is going to cease.
All they need to do is show off the vision, show off the box, and denounce the rumors, save the megatons for E3 and it's going to be a whole new ball game.
Popcorn will be popped.
Microsoft aren't Sony they don't have the same business model. They aren't a first party focused firm, they don't own 20 games development Studios.
I wish everyone would stop using that tired fantard argument, and stop telling MS in their infinite knowledge that they need to be more like a company that hasn't made a profit in over 4 years.
Actually, I think it's much more naive to completely dismiss a rumour than to mildly speculate on the possibility that it's true. Nowhere did I make the assertion that this rumour is 100% fact.
I might just skip out on the Xbox720 and just get a PS4 first at least. I'm still waiting for the 21st of May though because maybe M$ will show something new and never before seen to the gaming industry.
Those who really want this to be really don't understand that IF true, MS will buy Third Party Exlclusives left and right... so, yeah, can't beat them, unless you don't wanna play those amazing third party games, I don't see why anyone will want this to happen, it's a win-win situation for Xbox owners, not so much for everyone else ;)
That's just stupid. Do you think anyone would consider it financially feasible for Microsoft to buy third party titles like that. It isn't. Third parties are even more reluctant than ever to do exclusive deals. Especially on a new console launch when the install base are so small.
Unless you are oblivious to standard gaming practices in console gaming, you would clearly know that ALL consoles use Third Party exclusives.
Both Sony and MS had Third Party exclusives THIS gen and both Sony and MS will have them Next gen.
If you find fault with MS then you also should find fault with Sony as well.
A. The 6mo. rumor is true and Kotaku knows enough to kiss buns early to keep their website afloat. This would be wise for Kotaku, because six months is a long time to be left in the cold because they dissed Sony. Kotaku might reason that someone inside Sony's executive enclave may decide that supporting a website that tends to give them the finger first chance they get is a bad idea, because doing such won't help with putting Sony back in the black
B. They posted total bull to get people riled-up just to get "slammed" with good news and make aspects of the Microsoft announcement appear better than what it actually is (it's reverse-psychology, of sorts). Whether Kotaku is being played for suckers or not is not relevant because people have been trying to kick them off of this site longer than HHG, but for some reason they persist; so in that regard Kotaku can make up the dumbest Shinola they want, because pretty much no other gaming site is/was held responsible for what they say except HHG. I still remember when GameTrailers were caught fudging the appearance for graphics on more than one occasion on videos (for Sony, I think) but yet they were never kicked off of any site or their status lowered by anyone.
Either way, it's useless to speculate at this point until MICROSOFT actually says something, not Kotaku or anyone else acting upon a rumor.
More rumors lets wait for MS to actually confirm something
Also it's not like MS depend on its 1st party studios
Most rumors that leaked for ps4 happened to have a lot of actual info so sme rumors maybe true but still we will not see the complete picture till E3
Agreed, but Kotaku is one of the sites that leaked out those correct PS4 specs including the controller. I see this as being 80% true.
MS first party is pretty much Kinect Focused and they have leaned on 3rd parties to get timed exclusives for them MANY times before. This rumor just has oh too much truth in it based on what MS has done in the past. We'll see at E3, but if EA shows there game at E3 as a Xbox Fusion exclusive.......then clearly MS really has nothing in store for the core but timed games and Kinect.
So you mean developers like Remedy?
How dare you :(
Not only is this story old, but the original author wrote a reprise to it. Said it before and i'll say it again...MICROSOFT SHOULD NOT RELEASE CONSOLE FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON. They should release the console in the 1st quarter of 2014. There's no rush considering not many people will buy the PS4 at launch anyway. With PS3 still having legs and an imminent price drop of the PS3, I am sure that PS4 might come out the gate slowly. You're looking at an end of year onslaught of games for current gen. No one is really ready to plop down $500 on a console when current consoles have so many good games getting released. People have to remember that Watch Dogs, Black Flag, and Battlefield 4 are also going to be on current gen as well as next gen. THE LAST GUARDIAN HAS GONE A WHOLE GENERATION AND STILL NOT READY. People always want to throw stones, but never in the right direction.
What lets you down there is $500. But for that, you have a decent argument. That shows quite clearly that you want to stack your argument by choosing the highest 'suggested' price so far $500 and not the widely accepted price of $399.
Other than that I see no problem with the logic here and it is definitely ONE possibility.
@ syntax Ya you think so ? Every single friend I know is buying a ps4 day 1and never looking back .. Including my three xbox only friends . the only way Sony comes out slow through the busiest shopping season is if they run out .
Most of their 1st party are 3 years behind on 360 support.
i cant wait till the 21st so people can get information from official facts.
Well said dude.
Some people want the Xbox to fail so bad and it hurts them that MS managed to triple its fanbase this gen.
I remember before the 360 launched a certain faction was screaming victory and saying that Sony will kill the 360 like they did the Dream Cast (R.I.P). - see 2007 N4G 360 article.
Here is hoping MS delivers with the 720 with games and gives us an all in one beast of a machine and provides more countless memories like they did with the 360 :)
Edit: Am I the only one who is super hype for Alan Wake 2 and cannot wait to see what Remedy does with next a next gen console.
Also I would love a Lost Odyssey 2 but dont think Mist Walker has time to make it and I dont want anybody but Mist Walker to make it.
you need to ask yourself why they want ms to fail then compare that why the other people want the ps4 to fail. in the end the side that wants the x720 to fail actually have good thought out reasons. the people who want the ps4 to fail have no reason at all just fanboyism.
1. pay to play online yearly money subscription that can go up in price
2. not as many 1st party titles compared to nintendo and sony.
3 little variety in exclusives
4 kinect no one likes the focus on that
5. with all the being behind crap no one wants a rrod again.
these are only 5 reasons i could do more but whats the reason to hate ps4?
1.the console will not be high price sony even said it wouldnt be.
2 mic in every box and you can plug it into your control
3. increased features and cross chat and video and even more stuff then xbl in this area
4 improved controller
5. most powerful system with tons of 1st party devs and exclusives in different generes.
why do you guys hate the ps4? please tell me?
is it because you want to carry over your achievements? is it because you think your friends are all gonna go xbox again which they are not. sometimes you have to let go of the past things like many let go of myspace and embraced facebook. times have changed.
@Kratos_Kills no they will show fake milo vids and trick everyone once again and the xbox fanboys will eat it all up like peasents.
Ha,,Hey knight crawler. Did you forget the dead on arrival articles for the ps3 that certain 'factions' were backing with their screams along with the no games ones after the ps released.... goes both ways mate....lets not act like its only 1 faction screaming aey.
As many have repeatedly stated...the 21st cant come soon enough.....people will continue to farm extra hits until then.
"the people who want the ps4 to fail have no reason at all just fanboyism."
So people can be critical of MS but not of Sony....your comment wreaks of fanboy (as does your name)
Before this gen i was complete Sony fanboy....i eventually bought a 360 after seeing gears of war and xbox live.....having both has certainly made me realize how narrow minded fanboys are.....
What do i want this gen? Both sony and MS to remain competitive....why? because that is better for the consumer as companies are forced to spend more money on games, services etc.
This Gen MS are the clear winner from a business point of view.....
Although PS+ is great value, MS still have what i consider the better online service. Party chat, cross game chat and including a headset were huge wins for MS this gen.....So much so that Sony even mentioned it in their PS4 announcement.
MS triple their market share in one generation.....after how huge the PS2 was, Sony were foolish and complacent at the beginning of this gen...to their credit they threw everything they had at it after the disappointing launch but from a business point of view they failed in comparison to last gen. Before you disagree, do you think that prior to PS3 launching, that Sony execs sat around the board table going "ok, well we'll lose 50% of our market share, whilst MS triple their hardware sales and then we'll have to work the entire generation to sell as many consoles as MS" Of course they didn't?!
I give credit to Sony for using MS plan from this gen.....announce first, better controller, headset,sharing features, cross chat.....They have looked at this gen and basically admitted where they fell short and seem to be fixing the issues which i think is fantastic.....
Kinect...... (which doesn't really appeal to me) has been huge for MS.....do the core gamers really care for it, probably not, but from a business point of view it was a great win for MS. Around 20 million sold i think.....Sony didn't show their console in Feb but did show their version of kinect / ps eye which certainly shows their respect for the device.
i may sound like i side with MS here , but i don't ( i will buy both next gen consoles)..... Just trying to make you who is obviously a PS fanboy open your eyes a little.....
I also don't understand why in a MS story you ask why people hate PS4....i don't?
and why would people hate PS4 for adding a headset, cross chat and for being a powerful system?
As matrixman92 said.
"i cant wait till the 21st so people can get information from official facts."
I'm hyped for Alan Wake 2 also except I'll be playing it on the PC.
Alan Wake was a good game and Remedy did a Good job porting it to PC.
Alan Wake sold very well on the PC so a Day 1 release for Alan Wake 2 is expected instead of a year 2 release like AW1
MS looks to be pushing for a Machine to be the center piece of the Living room and NOT just a gaming machine. Expect way more kinect stuff along side MS usual plans for Timed Exclusives.
I'm Positive MS has been lurking around looking for just the right Dev and game to lock into a Exclusive deal for their new machine
But I expect 343 to pump out another Halo to solidify the X720.
May 21st. will be a Good day!
... Nobody wants Microsoft to fail but they need to actually put more effort into new Ips and actual games next gen.
But of course, automatically assume people hate Microsoft...
I completely agree with you. The thing here is that Sony's playbook so far is to basically copy MS Xbox 360 strategy and is now getting praise for it. I find that ironic.
Cross game/party chat, included microphone, easier architecture, developer friendly, eye toy with depth tracking, and so on.
Essentially it seems Sony looked at MS this generation and planned the PS4. So far little new and innovative ideas has been shown and maybe it is too early.
@ nukeitall
"EyeToy" with depth tracking features were going to happen regardless of Kinect's success as Sony have been working on camera based gaming for years prior to MS buying and utilizing PrimeSense tech - but you'll obviously negate that fact.
It's a shame that Sony aren't copying Microsoft in the one area that truly matters on a gaming console then isn't it, and instead, are pushing ahead and have been for many years in that regard?
And I imagine Sony also copied Microsoft's badass Gaikai digital distribution model? I guess Sony copied the Xbox's instant-play features too. I guess they copied the Xbox's "jump into your friend's game" feature. I guess they copied Xbox's dedicated chip to play games whilst they download feature.
I guess they copied the light bar sensor from the Xbox controller to allow's split screen games to adjust based on where people are sitting. That is just one feature of many.
All your ''reasons'' for hating the X720 are bull and made up because we know nothing about it. You just assume that all the negatives and only the negatives about the 360 automatically translate into the 720 and yet none of the PS3 negatives translate in the PS4, only the PS3 positives: this is clear fanboyism. For example, you still assume Ms will not change their business model about chargec online. Need I remind you MS and Sony once said Wii used motion controls would never be implemented on their consoles? Yet we all know how that ended. As you said times have changed, and companies change business models all the time. Maybe they'll change it, maybe they won't. But don't go stating things you know nothing about as if they are facts. Oh and that ''which can go up in price'' is total Bs you added to make your point more compelling when no signs remotedly point toweards it.
Point 2 and 3 are the same, which you had to separate to reach 5 reasons. Ms has made/acquired 11 new studios in the last 3 years (don't believe me, check their wiki), with 8 of them working on nextgen content as of now, so (hopefully) they should be in a better position than this gen. Remember, Sony didn't start up with all their studios already, it took them time to build up those studios.
5. with all the being behind crap no one wants a rrod again. Did you read? They are late behind 1st party game dev not the console.
All in all, your post reaks of unsubstantiated fanboy crap. At least wait until the 21st.
@ps3 pwns uhm that is the biggest load of crap Ive read in awhile, none of those are logical reasons for wanting a gaming device to fail unless of course you are a dictator and YOU want a world in which there is only one type of home console platform that should exist, ahh exactly modeled like sonys, right? I mean because god knows thats the only way to do business and nobody likes what micro has done with the xbox brand this gen anyway. Im sure the great sales are due to micro buying up their own supply.
""EyeToy" with depth tracking features were going to happen regardless of Kinect's success as Sony have been working on camera based gaming for years prior to MS buying and utilizing PrimeSense tech - but you'll obviously negate that fact."
I don't need to, facts speak for itself. Sony turned away the technology and so did Nintendo. Upon Kinect release, Sony official commented they didn't they the market will accept it.
Sony later back tracked, and essentially said they were surprised it sold so well.
Even after MS success, nobody has really tried to copy them. Still think it would have released?
Sony instead copied Wii with PS Move!
"And I imagine Sony also copied Microsoft's badass Gaikai digital distribution model? I guess Sony copied the Xbox's instant-play features too. I guess they copied the Xbox's "jump into your friend's game" feature. I guess they copied Xbox's dedicated chip to play games whilst they download feature."
Those things you are mentioning is expected to apper on the next Xbox too. There is nothing revolutionary about it, and even if MS released ahead and Sony revealed later wouldn't still be considered copied, because these things for the most part exist on PC. They have just now moved to console so you can say it is copied from PC?
"I guess they copied the light bar sensor from the Xbox controller to allow's split screen games to adjust based on where people are sitting. That is just one feature of many."
What you are mentioning is just a single niche feature, not a strategy.
The sort of thing I'm talking about is a strategy to change how you use your console. For instance, PS Move was that and it was an attempt to get hardcore and casual gamers.
Co-op split screen on a controller is a niche feature. In fact, co-op in general is pretty niche.
Gakai is more the type of thing I'm talking about, or including a headset in the box to get a better online community. Now a share button can be such a strategy.
Getting an easier platform to develop for is another.
So don't list small niche features, that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but business strategies to get consumers to prefer one platform over another.
Fact is, the general strategy of the PS4 is basically a copy of the Xbox 360. MS is furthering their strategy with TV and all around entertainment for the family instead. Sony might have something major up their sleeve, but they haven't shown it....
Now if you just want to respond by arguing semantics, don't bother. If you have other major featurse like "share button" (that I mentioned) or Gakai to show me that Sony really has a different strategy then please share.
Lol to you it's only "fact" if it's a positive rumor regarding Microsoft and the next gen Xbox.
and to you its probably only a "fact" if its a negative rumor regarding Microsoft and the next gen Xbox. I can tell you are a ps fanboy who probably takes rumors as fact, considering your profile reads "The Last of Us - Game of the generation"...a game that isn't even out yet.
Amen to that.
People continue to speculate about the same rumors over and over. (Like they're gonna find an answer or something)
May 21 is just around the corner. Lets just continue to play the waiting game a little while longer.
Damn it, I just want them to reveal it already. I am so sick of these rumors. I never planned on getting a Nextbox but it wouldn't hurt to see if any of them are true or not.
If it isn't ready or they are still making final decisions, why would they reveal it now just to make some people feel better or less anxious?
Plus, you said you have no plans to even get one, so why do you even care if its gold plated, makes you fertile, cures bald spots, or w/e?
Look no need to start a whole debate on the subject. I'm just tired of people pointing out, not just negative rumors but rumors in general, when they have absolutely no idea if it's legit or not. Give the company a chance to make themselves clear. And to answer your question I care because M$ wants me to care, because I'm a potential customer. It's all fair game. Just because I don't plan on buying one doesn't mean they can't blow me away with a feature that might change my mind and convince me to buy one. If it's not ready, fine. Let's wait till May 21 before we continue to throw out baseless and/or unconfirmed rumors.
I plan to wait until May 21 of 2013 or 2014 w/e they say it's ready, same with $ony. Doesn't mean I'm going to buy it either one, since I'm in a pretty good place right now with pc gaming.
But it does mean I won't be whining about them releasing it when I want them to. I feel I work at a great place, and yet half the people there whine and complain all the time. Just how some people are. It wont ever stop or change.
And guess what? Your frustrations will not be at all relived when m$ does release the specs, because (*spoiler alert*), people will still complain about this or that. Think you just need to get over it.
Same ole $h!t just a different day.
Rehashed articles are rehashed articles.
False rumor. Dev kits have been out for two years. Story generated by the online PR department of a rival company. Pure spin machine bullshit. And if you want to prove this for yourself just look at who is talking about this story the most.
In before disagree votes and "no u" replies I won't read.
I find this hard to believe, mostly because Microsoft's first party studios have probably had dev kits for 3 years by now. There might be a delay or two, but I seriously doubt all of their studios across the board are six months behind, that would be one hell of a coincidence.
If a few are behind, Microsoft will most likely just open their wallet and get some games to fill the gap, which works well for people who'll want the next Xbox, it also shows they still have a focus on games if they are willing to spend big money to get games while some of their studios finish up theirs.
I'll be happy when May 21st rolls around so some of these stories can stop, they are beyond old.
No way all of them. Makes no sense. Could all be just a single studio. Things could just be getting blown out of proportion. We may never know as ms wouldn't be forthcoming with that kinda info but again, I highly doubt studios could all of been moving at the same rate for a number of them to be delayed by the same specified time.
Exactly, I mean you can possibly believe one or two, but to think every single studio is 6 months behind is ridiculous.
If all means just a single studio that pretty much covers 33% of them...there's only 2 others that make core games for them.
People are idiots to believe they are 6 months behind. Here are the facts.
-Turn 10 last game was Forza 4 and that is completed sometime in the summer of 2011.
-Rare has 4 teams and the only thing they have worked on for the past couple of years was Kinect sports - so that leaves 3 teams working on X720 projects for a while now.
-Lionhead studio is currently working on a project since Fable 3 (note, Fable Journey is a side-project by the B team)
-Epic games, even though second party, is no doubt developing the next Gears of War Trilogy for the Nextbox since Gears of War 3. Note Gears of War 3 was originally going to be released in April 2011 but was pushed back for a Fall released and Judgement was developed by People Can Fly and not Epic,
-Rememedy, another second party, last major released was of course Alan Wake back in May 2010 and no doubt Alan Wake 2 is in the pipeline, possibly a launch title.
-343 industry of course has been working on Halo 5 since the end of Halo 4 and it is expected that Halo 5 will be launch in Fall 2014.
_Newly formed Black Tusk studio (formerly named Vancouver studio) was established in 2010 and they been working on a new AAA core title for a few years now.
May 21 can't come fast enough to prove the haters wrong.
Epic Games and Remedy aren't 2nd party.
Epic Games were at the PS4 conference and as for Remedy.
"and our unannounced AAA project for future generation consoles"
That is with an 'S' meaning they've gone multiplatform.
They are practically 2nd party as of right now! How many remedy/epic games did non 360 systems get?
Anyway even if 1st party was behind they still have 3rd party games coming
Remedy and Lionhead have been 3rd party for a while now... Pc anyone? Alan Wake and Fable 3 are there also Gears 1, halo 1 and crackdown, ...the only true xbox 360 exclusive franchise is forza.
you all know that this is not true at all.this is Microsoft that we are talking about. only a sonyfanboy would buy into this be. no company to date can make things happen better than Microsoft. say what you will.believe whatever helps you sleep at night, but just know that the x is coming. Sony will bow down again. there is no power greater than x
"only a sonyfanboy would buy into this..." "Sony will bow down again" "there is no power greater than x"
9 agrees and 5 disagrees to this complete drivel as I'm writing this comment, but wait, I thought N4G was "N4SonyG"?
Wow... and people actually agreed with this?
I'll never understand why people act like Microsoft or Sony are paying them to endorse products. You folks look like fools with these kinds of comments.
say what you will. my comments still stand. may 21st is still coming. the e3 show is still coming. the release of the next Xbox is still coming. resistance is futile. so to all you Sony fans, enjoy these non truths for as long as you can. your end is near and it'll all be over soon. and as I always say (there is no power greater than x)
You sound ridiculous dude. That's like some 4th grade trash talking on the bus about video games nonsense. You should make these companies work for your dollar.
No shit its like people who get Nike swoosh tatooed on themselves ... Corporate slave much ? Some of these dik riders should literally get a console emblem tatooed on their forehead
In all honesty, we don't know one way or another. It's possible, though. And if, for some odd reason, most of Microsoft's first party developers were skipping the 360 to work on the 720, it would explain why they've all been silent for so long.
It wont help them.. Paying for exclusive content again will only get them so far.. They better get a move on with their games.. Nintendo was slackin & look what happened to wii u.. Unless they literally pay off pubs for complete exclusivity with games, its not going to slow sony down at all.. I mean what are they gonna do? Buy watchdogs, COD, & BF4? No, no, & no... Maybe some maps or something & thats it
Yep i agree.
Exclusive games > Timed DLC
By the way do you have any troll repellent on you because theres a pest called SDF Repellent thats been plaguing the comments section. It doesnt seem to go away even with the bubble treatment.
I know why MS first party studios are behind is because Microsoft is forcing them to utilize the kinect and probably other bs features.
Whoever keep approving the same articles need to be Randy Orton punted in the head.
Two more weeks from Tuesday, then N4G will explode.
There's probably gonna be a special appearance by Michael Bay...
Nintendo Fan Here.
I just want to say- that if you think a MultiBillion Dollar Company like Microsoft that has 6 Months to right a wrong is not going to do anything to save its Launch...
...well you might be right, stranger things have happened-
I doubt that Microsoft will allow this to happen.
(I expect they may have problems but not in a major way).
This shows defeat. It makes no sense for them to be behind given they have been pretty much lame for the past 3-4 years with weak exclusive offerings. you'd think they have been spending the time getting ready for next gen... offering at least more than 3 franchises like they did this year. Microsoft only rode on the backs of 3rd party devs for most of this gen... smh.

The European fire ant (Myrmica rubra Linnaeus), is an invasive, non-native species that is a nuisance pest for people and a potential threat to the environment. Over the past 10 years, they have been found in residential and natural areas in the Greater Toronto Area, including parks and natural areas in Markham.
European fire ants live in moist, shaded, natural areas. Unlike native ants, they do not nest in large mounds, but rather within decaying logs and leaf litter.
Parks staff discovered very few or no European fire ants present in open and sunny areas such as sports fields and playgrounds.
However, colonies were found in areas along forest margins or fields with tall vegetation, and along fence lines between yards and natural areas (mostly underneath or in discarded yard waste, such as grass clippings, leaf piles, potted plants). Some colonies were present in natural areas underneath fallen branches.
European fire ants aggressively defend their territory and will sting humans, pets, and wildlife. Their sting is equivalent to that of a bee or wasp. The severity of the sting varies from one individual to another but typically causes an initial burning sensation. Affected areas can remain sore from a few hours up to a day or more.
In rare cases, anaphylactic shock may occur, which requires immediate medical attention.
CAUTION: If you come in contact with the European fire ant, swipe it away from your skin and do not attempt to crush them. This will only provoke them to sting.
Native ants, which are an important part of our ecosystem, construct their nests in the soil and build visible mounds. European fire ants do not build mounds, which make the nest more difficult to find.
Characteristics of the European fire ant:
European fire ants are not the same fire ants found in the southern American states. Those ants have a more severe sting and are not present in Markham.
There are no known effective, long-term control methods available for parkland. Known treatments will kill beneficial insects too, which can negatively affect wildlife and the natural food chain.
When travelling through Markham parklands, you're advised to:
Keep your property clean to avoid a potential European fire ant habitat:
If you discover an infestation of European fire ants on your property, treat the colonies quickly to reduce their opportunity to expand into neighbouring areas.
Try using boric acid bait traps, diatomaceous earth, or pyrethrin (these products can be purchased from local nurseries and hardware stores and should be applied according to product instructions) or contact a pest control company.
The European fire ant is native to Europe and northern Asia. They were first discovered in North America in 1908 along the coast of Maine. It is likely that they arrived by infested containerized plants brought from Europe.
Read more about the European fire ant from the following online sources.

Men's Top 25 Capsules
NEW YORK (AP) — Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored seven of his nine points in the final 33 seconds and No. 3 Ohio State rallied from an eight-point deficit with 1:54 to play to beat Notre Dame 64-61 on Saturday night in the BlackRock Gotham Classic at Madison Square Garden.
The Buckeyes (12-0), who had a woeful second half from the field, closed the game on a 14-3 run and Smith was the key to the closing spurt.
Jerian Grant hit a 3-pointer as the shot clock was expiring to give the Fighting Irish (8-4) a seemingly comfortable 58-50 lead with 1:54 to play.
But the Buckeyes turned up the defensive intensity and they converted consecutive steals into a 58-56 deficit with 40 seconds to go.
No. 5 MICHIGAN STATE 92, TEXAS 78
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Adreian Payne scored a career-high 32 points and Michigan State dominated the final 11 minutes of a 92-78 victory over Texas.
The Spartans (10-1) led for only 56 seconds in the first half as Texas (10-2) controlled the game early.
Michigan State used a 9-2 run to take a 52-50 lead about halfway through the second half. Following two quick buckets by Jonathan Holmes, six Spartans scored during a 14-2 run that put the game away.
Payne made two free throws during that run and went 10 of 13 from the field and 11 of 12 from the free throw line. Gary Harris, who missed three recent games with an ankle injury, scored 19 points while Travis Trice, battling a foot blister, contributed 13 points and was 3 of 4 from 3-point range.
No. 6 LOUISVILLE 85, FIU 56
MIAMI (AP) — Russ Smith scored 18 points, Wayne Blackshear added 13 and Louisville won its sixth straight, easing past FIU.
Smith had 12 in the first half for the Cardinals (11-1), who never trailed and were rarely threatened, outside of a couple brief early stretches where the game was tight.
Tymell Murphy scored 16 points and former Louisville player Rakeen Buckles added 13 for FIU (8-5), which was coached last season by Richard Pitino, the son of Louisville coach Rick Pitino.
Rick Pitino decided to honor the contract and play FIU, offering to do so in Miami even after his son left the Panthers to take over at Minnesota after last season. When Richard Pitino left FIU, Louisville had the option of canceling the series.
No. 8 VILLANOVA 88, RIDER 67
VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — Freshman Josh Hart came off the bench to score 19 points and Villanova stayed perfect with a rout of Rider.
One of 12 unbeaten teams remaining in Division I, the Wildcats (11-0) are off to their best start since the 1961-62 team won its first 12.
JayVaughn Pinkston added 14 points for Villanova, which shot 50 percent from the field in its final non-conference home game of the season.
Anthony Myles, Rider's top scorer had 22 points. Jimmie Taylor added 15 points for Rider (5-5) and Daniel Stewart scored 13.
Villanova's pressure rattled Rider as the Wildcats began to pull away in the second half.
No. 13 OREGON 100, BYU 96, OT
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Jason Calliste scored a career-high 31 points and Oregon stayed unbeaten, topping BYU in overtime.
Joseph Young added 25 points for the Ducks (11-0).
Tyler Haws led the Cougars (8-5) with 32 points and Kyle Collinsworth added 15 points, five rebounds and eight assists.
Oregon had a chance to win in regulation, but Elgin Cook missed two foul shots with 1.8 seconds, sending it into overtime tied at 84.
Damyean Dotson scored on a drive in the final minute, putting the Ducks ahead for good at 96-94.
No. 14 NORTH CAROLINA 97, DAVIDSON 85, OT
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Marcus Paige scored 11 of his 17 points in overtime to help North Carolina hold off Davidson.
Paige missed his first six shots and didn't score until the 8:17 mark of the second half, but took over late to help the Tar Heels (8-3) bounce back from Wednesday's loss to Texas and avoid another surprising home defeat.
J.P. Tokoto posted career-highs of 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead North Carolina, which needed two free throws from Paige with 29.3 seconds left to force the extra session. The Tar Heels dominated the extra period, with Paige scoring in the lane to open the overtime and hitting his only 3-pointer of the game moments later to put UNC in control.
Brian Sullivan had a career-high 33 points with seven 3-pointers for the Wildcats (4-8), who shot just 2-for-10 in overtime to fade late.
No. 15 MEMPHIS 77, SE MISSOURI STATE 65
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Shaq Goodwin scored 20 points, Joe Jackson added 16 and Memphis pulled away for a win over Southeast Missouri State.
Goodwin made 10 of 12 shots and had eight rebounds as the Tigers (8-2) recovered from Tuesday night's 77-75 loss to No. 16 Florida at Madison Square Garden.
Geron Johnson finished with 10 points for Memphis. The Tigers shot 50 percent despite going 2 of 17 from outside the arc.
Tyler Stone led the Redhawks (7-4) with 23 points. Jarekious Bradley added 19 points, while Antonius Cleveland gave Southeast Missouri a second-half push, scoring 11 of his 14 points after the break.
Southeast Missouri stayed close to the Tigers and still was within seven points with under 8 minutes left before the Tigers finally pulled away.
No. 16 FLORIDA 66, FRESNO STATE 49
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Will Yeguete led a strong rebounding effort by the Florida Gators, who pulled away in the second half to beat Fresno State in the Orange Bowl Classic.
Yeguete had five offensive rebounds and a season-high 10 total for the Gators, who had a 47-24 advantage on the boards, by far their largest this season. Florida won easily despite shooting only 42 percent.
Casey Prather scored 16 points for the Gators (9-2), who won away from Gainesville for the third time this season. Prater was voted the game's most valuable player.
Scottie Wilbekin added 11 points and Yeguete nine. Patric Young had eight points and nine rebounds.
Fresno State (6-6) lost its third game in a row and fell to 1-5 away from home.
No. 18 KANSAS 86, GEORGETOWN 64
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Tarik Black came off the bench to score 17 points, Joel Embiid also had 17 and Kansas bludgeoned Georgetown in the Hoyas' first visit to Allen Fieldhouse.
Andrew Wiggins added 12 points and Naadir Tharpe had 10 for the Jayhawks (8-3), who proved once more why the Phog is such a hostile venue. Kansas pushed its non-conference home winning streak to 67 games by pounding one of the nation's premier programs.
The Hoyas (7-3) tried to use the kind of muscle that has suited them so well in the rough-and-tumble Big East, but all they did was get into debilitating foul trouble.
Markel Starks scored 19 points and D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera had 12 to lead the Hoyas. Josh Smith, who had been averaging 14.1 points, scored just five before fouling out.
Moses Ayegba and Nate Lubic also fouled out as Kansas asserted its dominance in the post.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Julius Randle scored a career-high 29 points and led a second-half rally that pushed Kentucky past stubborn Belmont.
A week after a season-worst performance in a loss at North Carolina, the 6-foot-9 freshman forward made all eight shots from the field and grabbed 10 rebounds. More importantly, he asserted himself late in the first half and throughout the second for the Wildcats (9-3), who found themselves in a battle against the team that upset the Tar Heels earlier this season.
Kentucky trailed until the 16:21 mark of the second half and constantly had to fight off challenges from the Bruins (8-5). Aaron Harrison added 23 points for the Wildcats while 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein had 16 points, seven rebounds and two blocks.
The Wildcats finished 32 of 58 from the field (55 percent), outrebounded the Bruins 42-25 and made 26 of 36 free throws.
KANSAS STATE 72, No. 21 GONZAGA 62
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Thomas Gipson scored eight of his 14 points in the game's decisive minutes and freshman Marcus Foster also had 14 points as Kansas State outlasted Gonzaga.

Kevin Pangos had 14 points for Gonzaga (10-2) while reserve Drew Barham added 13 and David Stockton and Przemek Karnowski both scored 10.
The Bulldogs entered the game averaging 87.5 points and had not scored fewer than 68 this season.
Gonzaga played the second half without second-leading scorer Sam Dower, who took a hard fall late in the first half and did not return.
FLORIDA STATE 60, No. 22 UMASS 55
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State scored the game's final six points, including two free throws by Ian Miller with 1:06 left that put the Seminoles ahead, and they handed Massachusetts its first defeat of the season in the Orange Bowl Classic.
Aaron Thomas scored 18 points for Florida State and was voted the game's most valuable player. His two free throws with 2 seconds left sealed the victory.
Florida State (8-3) beat a ranked team for the second time this season. UMass (10-1) had been off to its best start since 1995.
Chaz Williams' driving layup put UMass ahead 55-54 with 1:51 to go, but the Minutemen failed to score on their final four possessions while committing two turnovers, including one when Cady Lalanne was called for hanging on the rim.
ILLINOIS 65, No. 23 MISSOURI 64
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tracy Abrams scored a season-best 22 points and made two free throws with 4.6 seconds to lift Illinois over Missouri in the annual Braggin' Rights game.
Rayvonte Rice added 14 points for Illinois (10-2), which snapped a four-game losing streak in the 33rd renewal of the annual neutral-court matchup.
Jordan Clarkson had 25 points and Earnest Ross added 13 for Missouri (10-1), which entered the game as the lone unbeaten school in the SEC.
Illinois scrambled on its final possession but got a bit of a break when Abrams was fouled by Johnathan Williams III driving the lane.
No. 24 SAN DIEGO STATE 65, McNEESE STATE 36
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Winston Shepard returned from a one-game suspension to score seven straight points during a 13-0 run midway through the second half that helped San Diego State beat McNeese State.
Shepard finished with 14 points while Josh Davis had 12 points and 17 rebounds for SDSU (9-1), which won its eighth straight game.
Ledrick Eackles scored 13 points for McNeese State (2-9).
Shepard sat out SDSU's 76-39 victory against Southern Utah on Wednesday night for what the school said were conduct issues. He didn't start Saturday night but entered the game about five minutes into the first half.

Top African-American HIV Activist Calls for "National AIDS Strategy" in United States
Pernessa Seele Asks: Why Does the United States Seem to Care More About Africans Than Its Own Citizens?
August 4, 2008
On Aug. 4, a panel of African-American HIV community leaders held an emotional press conference in which they expressed frustration and anger about the lack of attention being paid to the HIV epidemic among U.S. blacks. Pernessa Seele, the head of the HIV organization The Balm in Gilead, was one of those who spoke. Here is the text of her speech. (You can also click here to read or hear TheBody.com's interview with Seele.)
Welcome to all of you. It's always good to be with my colleagues up here on the dais. As the CEO and founder of The Balm in Gilead, an organization working both in Africa and in black America -- specifically, working in Tanzania and in black America -- I am very happy. Very honored, and very happy, of my government's response to black people in Africa. But I am very disgusted and very frustrated of my government's response to AIDS among its own citizens.
The U.S. federal effort, in many ways, is a patchwork, not well coordinated and not accountable for making steady progress and bringing down the incidence, increasing access to care, or reducing racial disparities in the epidemic, as it is in Tanzania and other countries, as you know. One essential element in building a more effective domestic response to HIV/AIDS is the implementation of a true, national AIDS strategy. The national AIDS plans of the past have often lacked clear objectives or accountability mechanisms, and they often did not coordinate work across federal agencies, as they do in Tanzania.
We need a national AIDS strategy that focuses on all our governments, health care providers and communities, on achieving steadily improved results, as they do in Tanzania. Over the last year, support for a creation of a national AIDS strategy in the U.S. has been gaining momentum. Over 250 organizations and hundreds of individuals are endorsing a call to action of a national AIDS strategy. That call to action outlines several principles necessary to creating a strategy that can make a real impact, like it is doing in Tanzania.
An effective national AIDS strategy will require presidential leadership, a top-level commitment to making progress in the response to AIDS at home, in black America, as it is doing in Tanzania. We have the tools in hand in the U.S. in black America to significantly bring down the rates of new HIV infections, increase access to lifesaving care, and reduce racial disparities. A comprehensive, result-oriented national AIDS strategy can help us make steady progress in addressing the AIDS epidemic at home, as it is doing in Tanzania.
The African-American faith community, which The Balm in Gilead represents, is calling on our president, members of U.S. Congress, health care providers, all of America, and specifically, all of black America, to stand up and to support an effective national AIDS strategy in the United States. Thank you.

High oxygen/ nitrogen purity
PSA nitrogen generator plants allow production of high-purity nitrogen from air, which membrane systems are unable to provide - up to 99.9995% nitrogen. This nitrogen purity may also be ensured by cryogenic systems, but they are considerably more complex and justified only by large consumption volumes. The nitrogen generators use CMS (carbon molecular sieve) technology to produce a continuous supply of ultra high purity nitrogen and are available with internal compressors or without.
Low operating costs
By substitution of out-of-date air separation plants nitrogen production savings largely exceed 50%.[citation needed]
The net cost of nitrogen produced by nitrogen generators is significantly less than the cost of bottled or liquefied nitrogen.
Nitrogen/oxygen Generators Create Less Impact on the Environment
Generating nitrogen gas is a sustainable, environmentally friendly and energy efficient approach to providing pure, clean, dry nitrogen gas. Compared to the energy needed for a cryogenic air separation plant and the energy needed to transport the liquid nitrogen from the plant to the facility, generated nitrogen consumes less energy and creates far fewer greenhouse gases.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Ceremonies and memorials are scheduled across Illinois to mark Veterans' Day.
In Chicago four-star Gen. Robert Cone will speak at the city's Veterans' Day ceremony. Cone is the commander over the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. The event is scheduled for Monday morning at Soldier Field.
Other cities, including Aurora, plan Veterans' Day parades. In Springfield the parade will go to the Illinois Capitol and there will be a ceremony afterward in the rotunda.
And lawmakers will be making appearances too. U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk will be in the Chicago suburb of Buffalo Grove. He plans to give World War II veteran George Boesen of Arlington Heights the medals he earned for his service but never received.

The Seattle Police Department has begun handing out tickets to motorists—including cab drivers—who honk if they love their local Occupy Wall Street contingent. People can probably still honk if they love Jesus, though don't quote us on that.
Apparently lots of Seattleites were honking in support of the protesters, currently camped out at Westlake Park (in case you want to visit them after church today). One ticketed honker is cab driver Ayad Agila, who told KOMO News he was "shocked" that he had to pay either $124 or $144 just for making his car go beep-beep. Agila told KIRO he won't pay the fine, and now he's probably on some sort of government watch list. Meantime, protesters have been trying to help their supporters by holding signs warning them not to honk.
Car horns are annoying. It's a well-known fact. Seriously! But how can the cops tell if drivers are honking for the protesters, or honking for purely driving-related reasons? Also, shouldn't they ticket people who let their car alarms go off, because that's even worse than incessant honking? I'm only suggesting these ideas in order to make a more fair and equitable society in Seattle, and also to help the SPD maximize its earning potential.
It's another Battle of Seattle!

EPA Releases Final Report on Air Toxics Near Life Skills of Trumbull County and the Academy of Arts and Sciences, Recommends Additional Monitoring
Release Date: 11/09/2010
Contact Information: Phillippa Cannon, 312-353-6218, firstname.lastname@example.com
No. 10-OPA138
Chicago (Nov. 9, 2010) -- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 announced today that a report on the school air toxics monitoring data from Life Skills of Trumbull County and the Academy of Arts and Sciences in Warren, Ohio, has been posted on the Agency's website.
Results of the air quality samples collected over a three-month period showed that levels of manganese, arsenic, lead, benzene, benzo(a)pyrene and other air toxics were low. However, EPA has determined that additional monitoring is needed at the schools, because key sources of emissions were not operating during the initial monitoring period. Those sources are now operating at typical levels, and EPA anticipates beginning the additional monitoring later this year.
The Schools Air Toxics Monitoring Initiative, which monitored outdoor air at 63 schools in 22 states, is designed to help EPA and state environmental agencies understand whether long-term exposure to air toxics poses health concerns for children and staff at the schools.
From Aug. 17 through Nov. 27, 2009, a monitor collected air samples near Life Skills of Trumbull Country and the Academy of Arts and Sciences. Manganese, arsenic, lead, benzene, and benzo(a)pyrene were the key pollutants of interest. During the monitoring period, EPA evaluated the concentrations to see if there was an issue with short-term exposures to manganese and other air toxics. Once the monitoring was complete, EPA analyzed the results to see if there was a concern from long-term exposures. In order to keep the community informed, EPA posted individual air sample results on the website throughout the monitoring period. The report is posted on EPA's website at: https://www.epa.gov/schoolair.
Other schools being monitored in EPA Region 5 were St. Josaphat School, Chicago, Ill.; Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, East Chicago, Ind.; Jefferson Elementary School, Gary, Ind.; Pittsboro Elementary School, Pittsboro, Ind.; Lincoln Elementary in Warsaw, Ind.; Lincoln Park Elementary School, Muskegon, Mich.; Minnesota International Middle Charter School, Minneapolis, Minn.; East Elementary School, East Liverpool, Ohio; Elm Street Elementary School, Wauseon, Ohio; The Ohio Valley Educational Service Center and Warren Elementary School, Marietta, Ohio; and Whitwell Elementary School, Ironton, Ohio.

The sassy minds over at Liberal Bias have thrown our brains for a loop by posing a very challenging question: Anti-gay Russian President Vladimir Putin or a gay porn star?
Putin's abundant public displays of
insecurity machismo have lead many to confuse his recent outdoor publicity stunts with homosexual pornography. If a gay rights activist engaged in the displays enjoyed by Putin and many a gay porn star, he'd likely be thrown in jail.
You must check out more Putin or Porn Star on Liberal Bias. They promise to update their clever post with more shots!

White Kitchen Appliances are Trending White Hot
A Consumer News report from last year's Kitchen & Bath Industry show in Chicago paints a picture where stainless steel is on the way out. One design-build contractor is quoted: "Ten years from now I think we're going to look back at stainless steel and say 'wow,' that's really a 1990's or 2000's kitchen."
The opinions of experts, of course, should mean nothing about how much a homeowner enjoys their space. Stainless kitchens are beautiful, and will continue to be beautiful for years to come. But anyone looking ahead to a future renovation might want to pause for just a beat, especially if your goal is insuring a home's future value.
The big players in kitchen builds and renovations are getting behind white. Last year, Whirlpool introduced the White Ice collection of pale appliances with modern stylings. More recently, Miele unveiled the Brilliant White Plus line. White can also be had for far less than those luxury price points. In fact, in older homes or rentals, one might find white appliances that skipped a few trend cycles from the 1990's and are ready to hop right back into vogue.
Whether you're shopping for new white kitchen appliances, or trying to make old ones look new again, here are some very "now" inspiration for making white work.

Rhianna called me up out of the blue. I was surprised because I have been trying to hook up with her for a while now. I knew I was in there when she told me her boyfriend was an asshole. She wanted to get revenge on him because he was fucking another girl. I showed her my cock and she smiled ear to ear. There was a couple of pictures taken so her man could find out for himself. Her pussy was so tight I could not believe I finally got to fuck her. She even took my load on her face like a champ. I hope her revenge continues.

The event is a collaboration between Cultural Zone organizations, including the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), La Jolla Historical Society, the Women's Club, Cuvier Club, The Bishop's School, St. James by-the-Sea, the Bed & Breakfast Inn at La Jolla and the La Jolla Recreation Center.
The tour is a great way for people to see buildings the public doesn't always have access to, and explore the area's cultural heritage and historic architecture.
One of the attractions at Open Doors will be an exhibition titled "Scripps on Prospect" co-hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society and MCASD in Axline Court at the museum at 700 Prospect St.
The collaboration examines the historical evolution of MCASD, originally Ellen Browning Scripps' residence and Wisteria Cottage, once the home of Ellen's half-sister, Eliza Virginia. Historic architect Irving Gill designed or remodeled both iconic buildings, which have remained cultural and educational landmarks. The exhibit profiles the long and enduring history of each structure.
"The idea here is almost to think about the cultural zone as a museum and put the institutions and the architecture that is unique to the Cultural Zone on display free to the public for this particular day," said Heath Fox, executive director of La Jolla Historical Society.
The "Scripps connection" is the theme of this year's third installment of the cultural zone open house. That theme is showcased by the joint "Scripps on Prospect" exhibition.
"We're showing the evolution of the villa and cottage, which became MCASD and Wisteria Cottage, tracing the history through photographs, architectural drawings and other documents celebrating the cultural zone here in La Jolla and the history and architecture of this place," said Fox.
Another participant, St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church at 743 Prospect St., is gearing up for the event. Walter DuMelle, assistant to the rector, said the church has been busy assembling a display of "architectural plans and art and all things St. James."
DuMelle said guests will notice the seaside church has a major restoration project under way, renovating its bell tower, roof, repainting its walls and restoring its stained-glass windows.
"We'll have two in-house architects available to discuss the renovation project going on," said DuMelle.
DuMelle said St. James is on board with this year's Open House theme, "Emphasizing the Scripps Legacy," along with its connection to other cultural-zone institutions. The Scripps family made a generous donation to St. James allowing creation of the church's landmark bell tower.
There are other treats on tap for visitors to St. James on Nov. 3, said DuMelle.
"Along with opening our front door, we will have organ demonstrations so people can enjoy getting up-close-and-personal with that and there will be some singing as well," he said. There will be refreshments at the special event, including coffee and scones.

Though I asked here for, and received, excellent reccomendations (thank you!) for restaurants in the Paso area, it turned out that the decision about where to dine fell into the hands of those who had visited the area before and wanted to seek out new places, so I really wasn't able to put my list to use. And, fair enough. So lunches were picnics in picturesque vineyards along the way, and our dinners were at one forgettable place in ___ Margarita (I get the name confused with a similar city name in Orange County) and the other was at McPhee's in sleepy little Templeton, which I reccomend.
Atmosphere: Charming old brick and wood early California architecture.
Food: I would call this sophisticated California country food, if asked to categorize it. By that I mean that the dishes were upscale in concept, but that portions are large and the side dishes paired with each meat item were unapologetically hearty--they're not feeding starlets here. Few appetizers were ordered so there's little say about that part of the menu but to mention that a tomato salad that I ordered was barely dressed (and I'm a minimalist when it comes to dressing, so if I complain....) and haphazardly assembled. Had to use both salt and pepper to give the dish flavor. But the main courses were excellent. Our group ordered a range of dishes including mushroom ravioli, ribs, steak and lamb racks. Every single person raved about their dish, and the cooked-to-order meats came out perfect for each. But our friend Kirk and I thought we were the smartest for ordering the ribs. They were beautifully cooked and seasoned, a full rack that from the smallish size of it seemed to have come from a fairly young porker, and coated in a superb slightly sweet, slightly hot honey-jalapeno flavored sauce. Moreover, the accompanying pile of almost shoestring-sized french fries was worth ordering all by itself. One doesn't often get a great, crispy-outside/creamy inside, frite in America, but these were GREAT, even when they were cooled off. I didn't intend to but taste them, but I ate every one.
Wine: our B & B hosts warned us that the corkage here was steep but they obviously misunderstood both the restaurant's policy and the nature of most restaurant's corkage policies, because McPhee's is to be nothing but lauded for what they do. Their corkage is $20, however, if you also buy a bottle off their menu then the corkage is waived entirely, and their bottle prices were astonishingly low--about $5 above retail, if that. The well-stocked list includes many of the best of the region, including some hard to get bottlings that we were glad to have an opportunity to try. We felt embarrassed to have brought any wines at all (even though our wines were out-of-area cellar treasures).
Service: very good, we had exactly what we needed whenever we needed it.
All in all a great find, and recommended.

I guessed I would wear a size M. I am 5'2" and 140 lbs. This means I need petite proportions. This dress fit me very well and it looks exactly like the picture. I think it is well worth the price.

"Love with robots will be as normal as love with other humans, while the number of sexual acts and lovemaking positions commonly practiced between humans will be extended, as robots teach more than is in all of the world's published sex manuals combined." -computer pioneer David Levy, in Love and Sex With Robots.

You'll find everything from sexy robots to virtual reality lovers, from shameless science fiction to contemporary explorations of technology's impact on our sex lives and our sexuality. Headlining this stellar collection are two unforgettable novellas: In "Hot Definition," the story of a future just around our corner, Neko experiences the ultimate domination in a way she never expected; in "Speaking Parts," two lovers, one with a camera-shutter eye, come together in a scorching, obsessive relationship that takes them both to the limits of sexuality – and beyond. Plus ten more provocative stories of sex and technosex.
