AEE 2019: B and J, Riding the Wave
by Rich Moreland, April 2019
Our second camming couple, a husband and wife team, go by B (or Mrs. B) and J. Our AINews team met them informally on the trade show floor and set up a quick interview.
B and J's site, Hot4Teacher, can be found on Chaturbate.

The Age Thing
How did the two of you get started?
J watched a camming special on TV that included a couple who are friends of theirs, he says. He showed a YouTube presentation of the program to B whose immediate response was, "I'm not doing it because I'm a teacher!"
A month later, she agreed to give it a try.
"It started to kind of get him off my back . . . and then it took off," B says with a smile.
Conversation in their chat room led to more followers and their popularity spread.
"There was a draw [to us] because there's not a lot of couples that are our age. We're both teachers so I think that's maybe a fetish for some people."
They had another surprising advantage.
In the couples category, there's a shortage in the "thirty-five and over group," B says.
"The age thing was huge," J interjects.
B and J insist they put in considerable time to make their site a success. "There was a demand that we had to supply and here we are today," J says with pride.
Does sex online and selling clips make them a porn couple?
"I don't think it does," B responds. "I feel like the cam is different from porn. There's not a script, you're chatting with people. You're doing what they want you to do . . . and it's with my husband. It's not with other porn stars. It's different."
J concurs. "I've always felt that it's different."
B does admit that other people may not see it that way, however.
"I guess my vision of porn is I feel like it's different than what I do. I'm just hanging out in my room and chit-chatting with people that come into it."
Self-Pleasure
Do some of your fans masturbate when you're online?
"Yes, I know that some of them do," B chuckles.
Makes sense, but porn fans masturbate to what they see. Are your shows doing the same thing?
"I did say I don't do porn. But I still enjoy what I do," B says.
J believes that if masturbation is "what we're going to take as the definition [of porn], then yes."
However, B insists that she is "not interested in moving into the porn industry."
At the suggestion that she may already be there, she concedes that for anyone who conflates porn with camming, indeed she is there.
Who Directs?
Some porn people believe that camming may take over the industry within the next few years. What is your take on that?
"That's where porn is going," B affirms.
J brightens and asks, "Are we the pioneers?"
B agrees that they are.
Some critics hang the amateur porn label on cammers. In your view, is that accurate?
That's probably true, B says.
"I think one hundred percent we're amateurs," J responds, especially when it comes to directing.
B chimes in, "He's directing me all the time. Move this leg so we can get a better view, you know?"
When fans buy tickets to their shows, the broadcast is different. J explains that everyone is included. "You're our director. We'll follow your lead because you bought a ticket. That's what you want to see."
He compares their shows with a porn shoot where fans "have an idea of what that scene is and what that movie is about," when they buy a studio production.
As for what they do, J says, "we want to make you happy so that you come back again and purchase another ticket or buy another video."
But he reminds us that "it's absolutely one hundred percent amateur."
J mentions that studio shoots involve a director and crew and other performers who may not be in a particular scene and, on occasion, media people.
Fair enough, but isn't everyone getting paid in the long run?
B acknowledges that shooting on a set is different. She and J started out "in the privacy" of their home and it was hard to imagine there was anyone there because the audience was online.
That changed when they did "couples shows."
In fact, they had a "raffle and fans came to my room and were in there when we cammed," she adds. "It was really uncomfortable the first time and kind of weird."
Over time the tension eased for her.
J mentions, "Like last night there were other people in the room who were not participating." They still did the show and "put on the performance," he says.
B recognizes that J is more at ease than she is "when there's other people watching." But she is making progress. "I [am] much more comfortable with it than I was six months ago," she says.
Asked about where they see themselves down the road, it seems their venture into camming has a termination point. There's family to consider. For the future, "who knows what's going to happen," B says. "We're doing well now, but . . . "
As for this week in Vegas, they are here at the Adult Expo to support their fellow cammers and they have the credentials to make a difference.
"We're one of the top couples on Chaturbate," J says. "We're riding the wave where everything's hot."
In other words, they're using their success to give back some of the love extended to them.
In retrospect, do you think you are drifting in the porn direction?
"Well, it's funny," B comments, "I feel like I'm not in porn and then you (referring to J) were like 'one hundred percent we're in amateur porn.' So, I think we just totally contradicted what we said."
J clarifies his comment. "No, amateurs [are] what we are because I don't feel that we're at that professional level."
B is delighted to confirm his statement.
"Oh, we're not!" she exclaims, and recalls her thoughts the first time she was in the room having sex. "I do not belong here. I just felt like I was not at that level . . . ."

AEE 2019: Tom and Honey, The Easier Way
by Rich Moreland, April, 2019
Some interviews at adult trade shows are arranged via PR firms while others are off-the-cuff pickups gained through networking. At this year's Adult entertainment Expo we had two valuable talks with camming couples we met on the floor.
Photos credited to Kevin Sayers.
Tom and Honey are cammers who operate online through Chaturbate. To say they are comfortable in their own skin (and that of their partner's!) is an understatement. Not only do they have a loyal following, they have an exceptional understanding of the camming business model.
"Our live broadcasts drive the clip sales," Tom responds. "When we're online people see us, they talk to us. They have that connection." Out of that comes a built-in marketing advantage, he adds, because fans will ask about the vids they shot on location in Las Vegas or Miami, for example.
Honey reinforces what Tom says. "People who want to directly talk to you. They want that interaction. They want to know you as a person," whereas other fans just want "to see you performing the sexual acts." They'll buy the clips.
This division between the active and passive fan is common among cammers, as we've discovered.
Amateur Porn?
Tom mentions the importance of content with time and effort the necessary ingredients to produce a good show. What they shoot is never going to be of Evil Angel quality, he says, but that's okay because "we are never competing with mainstream porn companies."
Are cammers making amateur porn?
"We are the amateurs!" Tom asserts. There's a market for fans who don't want the professional look. They like "the slightly shaky camera," Tom says, and the feeling that they are "filming" the show.
On the other hand, cam production is improving. Tom explains that their equipment parallels the big studios. They have tripods and gimbals. Plus, they shoot in 4K and employ the "same editing software that the pro companies use."
In other words, the quality gap is not that large, he declares.
Considering that, are cammers becoming the new professionals? Will today's amateur be tomorrow's pro?
Taking Over
Honey seems to think so. It's "a very hot topic right now. People are saying that cammers are taking over," she says.
She implies that camming is moving into the porn orbit and points out the cammer's advantages.
"You can come here [the trade show] to see them [porn stars], but you can't sit and talk to them face-to-face for hours like I do with my fans . . . [We give them] more because we offer the videos and the one-on-one interaction. They get to know who we are as people."
Then cammers are the people next door having a little fun. Right?
In chorus, Tom and Honey respond with "exactly."
Cammers are tilting the amateur in the direction of the professional?
They repeat with a resounding "yes."
A Step Ahead
Regarding cammers and porn performers challenging each other's space, Tom says, "it's easier for the cammers and amateurs to go professional versus the professional coming back to camming."
The mainstream porn girls have everything "taken care for them," he adds. "They just show up and do their scene" with no concern for lighting, camera quality, editing, and the like.
"We have to figure that out," he exclaims, which puts the cam world a step ahead of porn performers. "All of a sudden they [porn models] have to learn how to do everything" if they want to cam.
Of course, there are the usual reservations mainstream performers have about camming, time and schedule being the most important. Does this mean the two porn worlds—camming and mainstream—will never come together because they are different mindsets?
Certain they won't, Honey says, "yes, I would agree with that most definitely!"
Who Decides?
Tom brings up an significant issue that separates a cam show from a professional shoot. For a sex act in real time, who determines the direction of the presentation and the timing of individual moments as the show evolves?
For instance, he mentions the pop shot. Where is it going to be? A facial or a creampie?
"We allow them (the fans) to vote on things like that." Tom says, making everyone online a director.
Finally, what is on the horizon for the adult industry and camming?
An important change, Tom believes. Camming "is going to be the easier way to get into the [porn] business," he states.
"It gives you the freedom to enter the industry from anywhere" as opposed to mainstream porn that requires shooting in Miami, Las Vegas, or LA.
Best of all, camming sex "allows you to be a porn star in your own home!" Tom exclaims. What could be more convenient?
Honey concludes our conversation with, "Camming is a really good way to get a feel for the industry if this is where you want to be. . . ."
Exactly. And that leads us to our next cam couple. Let's see what they have to say.

AEE 2019: Is Camming the New Porn?
Photos in this essay are credited to Kevin Sayers and Steve Nelson.
At this year's AVN trade show, cammers and their laptops were pervasive, demonstrating the popularity of online broadcasting. In fact, MyFreeCams sponsored this year's adult extravaganza in a move that seemed to step over the industry's traditional studios.
The upshot, I believe, is a pretty straight-forward question: Is camming redefining the adult business? From the interviews completed by our AINews team (which included photographer Kevin Sayers and videographer Davyana San Miguel) and posted in this blog, the answer is "maybe."
What it is not, is "no."
Delivery Platforms
From what I can see, the adult industry is experiencing a twenty-first century revolution driven by new delivery platforms. Not surprising, by the way. Fans old enough to remember the bygone days of the video tape and its replacement, the DVD, recognize that, as always, technology is porn's best friend, moving it culturally forward with each new innovation.
Whether the DVD will pass into porn history in the manner of the VHS tape is a matter of debate. As one director told me, commercial studios still produce them for their "hands on" collectable value. In other words, display your favorite DVDs on the library shelf for immediate reference.
What is obvious, however, is that porn's online presence is today's mother lode. High quality shooting with easy-to-manage advanced systems is ubiquitous for both the commercial studio and the cammer. When capturing the porn moment is technically simplified, everyone can learn the skills required to post just about anything online.
In other words, anybody can become a pornographer and suddenly every cam girl can claim a professional mantle, at least from the shooting perspective.
As for the bodies in front of the camera, the number of performers, models, or whatever you choose to call them, is expanding. There are plenty of girls available to shoot the mainstream product and thousands who cam.
What is interesting is this. Do cammers believe they are shooting porn? Do accomplished porn stars believe cammers can make it in the studio, and does that matter?
If porn stars consider themselves to be professionals because they are being paid (the most basic definition of "professional"), what do we do with cammers who are also making money in their chat rooms and with self-published vids on hosting sites like Clips4Sale and ManyVids? They may think of themselves as amateurs, but how are they not professional?
And, of course, what constitutes the status of amateur? Is it more a style of shooting than an actual performer?
Two Brands
Though porn veterans appear to have clear-cut views on these questions, cammers remain conflicted perhaps because whatever level of sexual stardom has been thrust upon them (or in them, for that matter) has come fast and furious, blurring the definition of how they see themselves.
The two brands of performers seem like parallel universes until one realizes that established industry stars can easily turn to camming and widen the conduit of porn's delivery system in today's culture.
Conversely, cammers can seek out studios should they choose that avenue and abandon any pretense to be amateurs. Though Clips4Sale is not Brazzers or Jules Jordan, does it mean amateur only?
Trouble is, a bit of tribalism creeps into the picture as can be seen in the numerous interviews from this year's show that appear on this blog.
Is or Is Not
In the final posts from the Adult Entertainment Expo 2019, we have interviews with two cam couples. They have nuanced perspectives on where to place camming in adult entertainment and what it means to make the adult product.
Keeping that in mind, here are the questions we asked.
If it is sex on-screen, regardless of the source, is it porn? Or, if the intention is to amuse and entertain a paying–and therefore exclusive–group of followers who enter a "private" chat room, does that make it restrictive and informal enough to "not" be porn?
Or, are the two groups—cammers and porn stars by one definition, and amateurs and professionals by another—simply drifting into each other's space to the extent that one day there will be no difference?
Perhaps. But that would require porn stars to drop their self-proclaimed exclusivity and cammers to abandon their "not me, I don't do porn" mantra. If each begins to cross over into the realm of the other, does the whole industry benefit?
That, I believe, is AVN's bet in expanding the trade show umbrella in the years to come.

AEE 2019: Porn Stars on Camming. Derrick Pierce
This is the fourth installment in our porn stars and camming series from the 2019 AVN trade show.
Whenever I need honest, no holds barred opinions on the adult industry, Derrick Pierce is one of my go-to performers.
The porn vet is among the handful of male models who are sexually reliable performance-wise and insightful with their understanding of the business.
Above all, the Massachusetts native is an industry gem, a performer with acting skills.
While on the floor of the trade show, I stopped by the Adult Time booth to say "hello" and asked Derrick for his take on porn and camming. We later met up in the press room.
Photos are credited to Kevin Sayers.
"The AVN show, and the trade shows in general, are now becoming more cam affiliated," Derrick begins.
The driving force behind the change is money. It's persuading the cam networks like MyFreeCams (MFC), Chaturbate, and Live Jasmine to market their product to a wider audience.
"They've always done very well, but now they're putting a lot of money out to shows. As you can see, they are sponsoring AVN. I don't know what the number is, but I guarantee you it's seven figures," Derrick speculates.
"Nobody even had that [financial] ability before. I don't even think it was on the table." He includes the big production studios like Evil Angel and Jules Jordan in that mix.
In reality, cam networks make big bucks "damn near printing their own money in some cases," he says, and that enables them "to do things the production companies can't do."
For Derrick, however, the situation presents a problem for the cam companies.
"The dilemma is nobody gives a shit about a cam girl. Not in person," he says.
In other words, for the cam fan "to stand in front of them, to see them at the show" is no big deal, the certified martial arts instructor implies, because he has already chatted with his favorite girls online.
In fact, Derrick asserts, the show comes up short for the fan because he "probably gets more face time with them (cam girls) when he's online than he ever would at the show."
And, it would be more private.
Derrick's honesty continues,
"Nobody cares about Tiffany451blue," because fans don't attend the Adult Entertainment Expo to see her.
"When you come to the trade show, you want to see Asa Akira, to see Abella Danger, Casey Calvert. All of these legitimate porn stars."
What MFC does is accommodate a couple of hundred cam girls to attend the show with the promise of floor time, rooms, cool stuff. Just "enjoy have a good time," he says. That's "all it is."
Ford Focuses
Derrick Pierce compares the cammer scene at AVN to stopping by a car dealership and seeing "rows and rows of Ford Focuses."
"Cam girls are a bunch of Ford Focuses. They're not doing what the professional girls are doing and, in some cases, I think some of those girls think they're better than the porn girls. 'Well I don't do what they do, I'm a cam girl.'"
Derrick challenges that with "You're not better."
"Here's the deal,' he explains. "When you come to these shows you have two hundred and fifty cam girls to see and you have fifty of the top female performers in the business to see. Who do you think they're lining up for? The porn stars because there's something nostalgic, because there's something unattainable" about them.
It's like a "fantasy about who they are because whatever you've trumped them up to be in your head is who they are when you see them."
"But with a cam girl, you know them. You know her favorite color is blue and she hates jalapeños or whatever her deal is, right? Cause you had time to socialize with them. So that's the deal and I don't think they'll ever be on the same level," Derrick concludes.
However, he comments that AVN and other trade shows now face a dilemma.
"Do you continue to take this money from the cam companies, which of course you're going to? You're in business to make money. But then do you phase out the production companies because they don't contribute the same financial endeavor as the cam companies?
"When it comes to the trade shows, fans are lining up for porn people, but the cam people are the ones that are printing the money."
Just a Cam Girl?
Derrick raises the question of how to merge the two, if that is at all possible.
How is the cam girl of the year chosen? For porn performers, it's easier to debate who is the best this year because each girl has a body of work. The only reasonable way to select the winning cam girl is by counting up the dollars she makes over the year.
"Whoever made the most money wins," he says.
As for joining camming and porn under one umbrella, Derrick believes the "level of separation" between the two will always remain.
To back up his point, he makes this observation.
"I just found out today that [on] MFC all the girls are solo girls. They don't do anything with guys or boy-girl scenes or anything like that. I don't understand that.
"Chaturbate has a couple of guys here, I noticed. How do you put them into play? Obviously, there's a market for them too. MFC doesn't have that, I don't think."
Our team's photographer Kevin, who follows cammers, interjects, "We learned that they only allow women."
"So, they're completely man-less [and] it works for them, obviously," he says.
"However they've designed this, it's flawless in my opinion because they're killing it. They're making so much money."
Regardless, the question lingers for Derrick Pierce.
"Are you really a porn performer? Or are you just a cam girl?"

AEE 2019: Porn Stars on Camming. Casey Calvert
This is the second post in our porn stars and camming series from the 2019 AVN trade show at Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel.
Casey Calvert is a popular BDSM performer who has expanded her acting skills and moved into the upper echelon of porn performers. Recently, she joined Gamma Entertainment's Adult Time as a director, advancing her industry resume into Hall of Fame territory.
For the record, Casey and I have known each other for years and have had our share of frank conversations about the industry.
Have you ever cammed?
Only a couple of times, Casey responds.
Because the alluring brunette shoots scenes as her primary source of income (she doesn't dance or escort), does she believe that camming is advantageous for a porn girl?
"Yes, it definitely benefits her to cam," Casey says, and mentions Dani Daniels. "She started as a girl-girl performer shooting scenes, transitioned to boy-girl. Now she cams and does Snapchat and other social media. She's made that transition really seamless. Her fame that she built as a performer drove her cam traffic."
Casey agrees that porn girls bring their audience with them when they cam. But, she suggests, that same accomplishment might be tougher for a cam girl who gravitates to porn.
"There's a lot of cam girls who have gotten flack for shooting scenes because of their fans. Camming is a really intimate, dynamic relationship" and there is a cost involved, the University of Florida grad says.
Fans do not always take to cam girls who "are doing solos" online then "go shoot a boy-girl scene, Casey believes. Some of them will say, "'You're taking dick on camera now? That's not okay!'"
Fans seem to regard cam girls as their own and get a little jealous and offended when they shoot scenes. So, the bottom line of this interpersonal dynamic is risk for the cammer.
"I think that's a part of it," Casey says. "I think there's some slut shaming which is inappropriate. But I know that happens.
Cam Girl Stigma
Are cam girls creating amateur porn?
"That's exactly what they're doing," Casey replies. "They're entrepreneurs, they're businesswomen and they're amateur performers. And I don't mean amateur in the derogatory sense. Just amateur in the literal sense."
In her opinion, cam girls are not porn stars, but they're "making porn", nonetheless.
"Some of them also see themselves as amateur performers," she adds, while others insist, "'I don't do porn, I am not a sex worker, I am not a porn performer.'"
Things get complicated from there.
"There's this cam girl stigma of 'I'm not a porn star' and there's this porn star stigma of 'I don't cam, why would I need to cam? I'm a performer.'" Casey explains.
Is that a dividing line?
"No. To me, all of us are sex workers," she asserts, and mentions there are plenty of cammers and porn performers who agree with her. But she understands those who don't.
"I know that there are some people who live within the stigma. When I was just a fetish model, I told people 'I don't do porn, I'm not a porn star.' I was wrong. I was doing porn."
Without penetrative sex?
"I was creating a product for people to masturbate to. That's porn."
The highly respected Speigler Girl elaborates.
"I didn't know that then. I was afraid of the stigma. I didn't want to be a porn star. I don't do fluid exchange, I'm not making porn. But in hindsight now I see that I was being a sex worker. I just wasn't doing 'this.'"
I suggest that anyone can watch porn and not masturbate. But I do concede Casey has expanded my interpretation of what porn is.
From her perspective, porn's "intention is to create something masturbatory," as she puts it. Of course, the viewer makes that decision and there are people who don't.
"I watch porn all the time and don't masturbate to it," the long-time Kink.com model says, "But it was created as a product to be masturbated to."
For a moment we get into the phrase "porn star" and I got from Casey what I expected.
"I don't know if I even like the phrase 'porn star.' I'm a porn performer. I'm an adult performer. I don't feel like I'm a porn star. But porn star means something so I use that word to convey meaning."
A portal
Does Casey think that camming to a portal into porn?
"No. There are thousands of cam girls and how many of those girls go shoot porn…a hundred? So, just statistically, no. Not enough people make the transition for [me to] agree with that."
Should a cammer want to get into porn, does it matter if she gets an agent?
"Yes, it does matter because it shows an interest in sex work and an interest in creating pornography," Casey insists.
"You have some experience talking to the camera and being sexy on camera and all of those things that an agent finds desirable. It's not a necessity. There are plenty of girls who get into porn who have never cammed, who have never worked in a strip club, who have never done any fetish modeling and just go right into hardcore.
"But, for the most part, I find that most girls did some form of sex presentation before they started doing hardcore porn."
In the end, Casey summarizes her take on our discussion.
"There are fans who don't want to watch scenes ever. They just want to watch girls on cam. [Then there are] scene fans who have no interest in watching their girl on cam.
"There's that degree of separation that a porn performer has with their fans that cam girls do not have because they 'cam-to-cam.' You see the guy [and] interact with them on a really intimate level. Much more intimate than shooting a scene.
"There's no real interactions with the fans just from shooting scenes. So, I think there are fans who want that level of intimacy, and fans who don't."
It's a choice, Casey Calvert concludes, that will prevail for some time to come.

AEE 2019: Porn Stars on Camming. Whitney Wright
This is the first in a series on porn stars and camming from the 2019 AVN trade show in Las Vegas.
Whitney Wright is an established star. At this year's AVN extravaganza she received noms for Best Actress in a Feature and Featurette and a nom for Female Performer of the Year. It doesn't get better than that.
Early in the week of the trade show, I was privileged to interview Whitney.
Whitney Wright entered porn in 2016, but not without a warmup!
"I used to go swingers' clubs and resorts before I ever did porn or dancing," she says, thanks to a guy she was dating at the time. He expanded her sex education.
"We ended up hiring a girl he knew who worked as an escort and she was so sweet. After that I was like, 'I wanna do all the things now, that was so much fun,' so we ended up going to strip clubs and to nudist resorts that had these crazy swinger parties."
Is it any wonder the Oklahoma Christian school grad made the transition into porn?
Working for Nickels
How would you describe camming?
"It's a hustle," Whitney says, and she understands how that is game played. "Mine is mainstream porn and before that it was stripping and I loved it."
However, she doesn't believe camming is for her.
"I don't think I could get into camming but there are some girls who do and they love it and make good money at it."
The former nursing student comments that camming is having an influence in porn.
"Sometimes there's this weird dynamic between mainstream porn stars and cam girls because they're looked at as different ends of the spectrum. Sometimes I hear cam girls say 'Oh, I don't do mainstream porn or boy-girl scenes.' And then there are some mainstream girls that are like 'Well, I don't like [to] work for nickels.' That's a phrase I've actually heard several times."
It appears that collecting tokens as payment for online performances is off putting for some girls. But Whitney believes there's money to be made.
"[The tokens] might start off as a little bit, but they add up. A lot of my friends cam and they have their regulars. They prefer it (camming) sometimes to shooting a scene because they can just stay home and drink wine and just talk to people."
Whitney offers a further perspective.
"We're all in the same pot, you know? Whether you're a dancer or an escort or a mainstream porn actress, cam girl, whatever you do. It's all sex work.
"It can be lucrative and a great idea, especially [for] girls that think they want to start mainstream porn and work for top studios."
If they are uncertain about that, then camming is a good way to wade into the adult waters.
"They can see how they like that end of things. If they want more, then the doors always open."
Capitalizing on Our Bodies
Is there is a division between traditional porn and camming?
There is, Whitney believes, and states what I've come to take as the gospel.
"A cam girl is a porn girl and we all have fans. [We're] capitalizing on our bodies for money whether shooting for a studio like Gamma or on MyFreeCams or any kind of cam site. They're getting a percentage of what you're making but you're also making money off your supporters and the people who are viewing your show."
Nevertheless, Whitney recognizes that there are performers who view camming and shooting scenes "as a total division."
"Some girls do look down on the other category and it comes from both sides. I'm friends with cam girls and I totally respect what they do. Because in my mind I could never do that. It just seems like a lot of work and time invested."
The unpredictability of a cammer's income from night to night is "disheartening" for Whitney. "I can't really imagine that," the Speigler girl says.
But she admits that there are mainstream girls who make it work and earn "great money."
"They can make their day rate just by being on cam for a few hours. They love it because they can stay home and be content and comfortable."
"But for me, I like seeing my calendar fill up with bookings and scenes. I like performing on camera and gaining notoriety and recognition from my peers and my fans and directors and other studios. But that's what I want."
Mainstream Porn
Because of the influence of the cam girl, is porn as we know it disappearing?
"I don't think there could ever be an end to traditional porn," Whitney declares. "I don't see [studio shot porn] going anywhere anytime soon."
But she does admit that the landscape is changing.
"I see a number of people complain that some girls stop shooting for the studios completely. They can shoot on their Snapchat or their OnlyFans."
The result, according to doe-eyed brunette, is change that can be disconcerting for some fans. They lament that their favorite girl is shooting "phone porn" or "homemade quality" stuff instead of scenes.
Porn models should keep in mind that fans do appreciate studio quality . . . "the clear images, the wides, [and] the zoom-ins."
Of course, there are fans that "like homemade videos and POV stuff," she concedes, but we should remind ourselves that "a lot of them like well-made scenes and films and the features" as well.
"They love it, and I love making it," Whitney Wright laughs.

AEE 2019: Sofie Marie

The Adult Entertainment Expo gave me the opportunity to reunite with Sofie Marie. Having previously written about her in April of last year (those posts can be found here, here, and here), I looked forward to speaking with her again.
For readers who don't know Sofie, she is a statuesque MILF with a body to die for.
Because Sofie Marie is familiar with studio shooting and camming, she is equipped to talk about the cam girl versus the porn girl issue in today's industry. But first, she gives us an update on what's happening with her.
"This is my second AVN. I'm nominated again this year for hottest MILF," she begins.
That's understandable, I'm thinking. Thirty-something women don't come sexier than Sofie!
"About four or five months ago I switched my website YummySophie over to an Elevated X platform. So now it's SofieMariexxx.com you can still go to YummySophie for items like a hat or t-shirt, or whatever. But I definitely like the new look better, more professional," she says.
Overall, the trade show has been a busy few days, Sofie explains, with "content shoots and signing" for fans.
A note before we move on. I had the pleasure of meeting Spike Irons, Sofie's producer. He accompanied her to the show walked the red carpet with her.
One Big Party
Referencing an idea I'd heard from another cammer, I ask Sofie if she divides her fans into two categories: active and passive. The first are those who interact with her directly and the second are those who are only interested in her vids.
She does have passive fans, Sofie admits.
"If someone sees a video on ManyVids or my website or Clips4Sale and say, 'Oh, Sophie. I saw you and you look great.' I say 'thank you' and that's it. They kind of disappear or [maybe] come back later."
Other than that, "it's all one big party. They like my videos [and] I love chatting with fans. It's just kind of a mixture and I love it," the native Californian says.
As every cam girls' business model tells us, make the fan feel special and recognized. What separates Sofie from the pack is her love for doing just that.
Hand-in-Hand
When I suggest that cammers are moving in the direction of mainstream porn, Sofie implies they may already be there. She uses herself as an example.
"I started with my website three years ago–actually started bikini modeling four years ago–and had all this content with my producer."
Her fans were asking for scenes and everything "kind of went from there," Sofie says. Because she loves to chat with people, camming was the next logical step "to meet people to maybe get my name out there a little more."
As a result, camming is now part of Sofie's business platform.
We talk about Dan O'Connell and his interest in hiring her for a GirlFriends Films episode. Can we conclude that Sofie is shooting scenes for production companies and camming at the same time?
"In the last year, Dan included, I worked for other studios," Sofie responds. "So, I cammed and worked for other studios hand in hand, same time frame."
As an established porn girl and cammer, does Sofie believe that camming is a portal into porn?
"It depends on the girl," she says, and mentions she's "met a few cam girls this week" who are interested in branching out into mainstream porn.
But, that's not for everyone, Sofie implies.
"Cam girls are all about the one-on-one [experience]. Porn girls are there getting paid, having sex on film with a crew [in the room] with one guy, or multiple guys or girls. It's just different in that way. But I have found that a lot of cam girls are interested in getting into porn, a little bit at a time."
Given a moment to think about camming and porn, Sofie concedes it may not be that clear cut between the two. In fact, she comments there may be only a slight difference and that seems to be the on-site director and crew.
The cam girl can be "having sex, not particularly on film [as shot by companies], but people are watching. And she's getting paid."
I've noticed that some cammers are reluctant to admit to shooting porn. Perhaps, they draw a line between the two and believe that "I'm a cam girl, not a porn star," Sofie says.
On the other hand, I suggest that the cam girl is shooting "amateur porn," Sofie agrees and retreats again to the shooters on the set as a marker for the porn definition.
"There's not a professional photographer around [when they are camming]," she comments. "They're on their own in their house wherever, doing their thing, whether it's with another couple with another guy or girl or solo."
That's amateur stuff, but it's still porn, Sofie concludes.
It's All Still Similar
According to what she has learned, production companies and agents are interested in how many fans a cam girl has before they hire her.
"I've heard studios [ask] how many followers do you have on Twitter?" Sofie says.
If the cam girl has a lot of fans, she brings those eyeballs to her studio work. So, followers can make a difference when it comes to breaking into mainstream porn.
Taking a look at the reverse situation, is it difficult for an established a porn star to become a cam girl and build a fan base in that world?
"I wouldn't think so," Sofie replies.
"She's established, she has worked for all these studios, has her name out there and been in the business for a while. If she went over to camming I would think she would have that following.
"She can make a decent living depending on the hours [she's willing to put in]."
Does Sofie believe that cam girls and porn girls are separate businesses because studio shooting is not the same as camming.
Not really, she indicates.
"It's all still similar. You can be with a guy or girl and cam and you're having sex, but there aren't any lights. I can see the differences but I think it's great to intertwine the two."
As we wrap up, I can't help but notice once again that Sofie Marie brings maturity and glamour into adult entertainment. Each time I talk with her, I appreciate her more. She is sweet, charming, and has an elegant presence rarely found in the business today.

The next SOUNDkitchen event is on Thursday 23rd June 2011 at Hare and Hounds. We are very excitied about our headline act Pleq who is joining us all the way from Poland. Pleq is the solo project of Bartosz Dziadosz, an experimental musician who combines elements of drone, down tempo, glitch and modern classical. He creates his work by fusing together independently synthesized sounds, often incorporating violin, the unexpectedly melancholic sound of a piano and sometimes female vocals.
Also on the bill is Birningham based Mark Harris, no stranger to SOUNDkitchen having performed at our opening gig with modulate and one of the contributors to our first collaborative project STONEsoup. He will be performing a solo laptop set.
Fianlly we are welcoming Leicester based turntablist and composer James Kelly to perform a live vinyl remix of his studio album Transformation of the Mind with live vocals from Ola Szmidt.
Check out the links and SOUNDkitchen website for artist bios and soundcloud audio samples.


Selecto water filtration technology and constant R&D efforts play a key role in providing the purest water for drinking, and vital pharmaceutical, food and industrial processing needs. The fact that we are leading the innovation in the field is well recognized by our loyal customers.
Selecto's Hollow Carbon filtration technology is a single-formula, simple-to-use, and flexible solution for all water-quality issues. The actual filter configuration and our proprietary activated carbon combine to remove the particulate matter that affects taste, odor and health, and causes scale that degrades all water-use systems, reducing their reliability and service life, while raising maintenance and replacement costs.
Selecto's proprietary Hollow Carbon filtration technology is a patented thermal treatment of activated carbon. It creates a structure with oxide-free surfaces and unique porosity (pore) structures.
The filter design is engineered to use a proprietary combination of turbo flow and radial flow to create a longer contact time than traditional water filters, significantly improving performance.
In contrast to the standard Carbon-Block technology that utilizes a mixture of some type of a binding material and carbon, Selecto's Hollow Carbon filters contain 100% activated carbon, a fact that has multiple practical implications.
The significantly higher surface area and porosity of the Hollow Carbon, as well as the extremely high and variable pore diameter, result in the adsorption, catalytic conversion and mechanical filtration of impurities in the water, and deliver an impressive effective filtration depth of 105mm.
Consistent performance with minimal pressure drop even following 12 months of continuous operation. Selecto filters allow users to reduce chlorine, chloramines, scale, bad taste and odor, and particulates (0.5 – 1.0 micron) at the highest NSF listed flow rates available in the market, of 5 GPM to 15 GPM (gallons per minute) with virtually no pressure drop.
The typical carbon block, however, in addition to its tendency to break easily, also clogs very quickly due to its low porosity, and consequently, its small effective filtration rate – only 1mm.
Poor performance and consequently, frequent and a costly replacement schedule.


I found a great book that would be a neat Easter basket addition for grown-up revelers who enjoy reading as much as eating those solid chocolate bunnies and Peeps we'll thieve from the kids' baskets on April 8.
Todd Starnes boldly wrote "Dispatches From Bitter America: A Gun Toting, Chicken Eating, Son of a Baptist's Culture War Stories," and it couldn't be more timely. It's especially relevant because Todd lays out in detail the Obama Administration's war on religious liberty. In addition to covering the state of the union in general, Todd writes about how the government is turning traditional holidays into politically correct secular celebrations – complete with renaming the White House's traditional Easter egg hunt to a "Spring Egg" hunt instead.
Much of our nation's exceptional foundation is rooted in our Judeo-Christian heritage. Many Americans grew up with fond memories of traditional holidays. As we approach the upcoming Easter celebration, we can reflect on this special time of year's true meaning and the significance the Easter message provides for our country. It's a message of true hope – real hope – and strong faith. This faith tradition is something many Americans wish to pass on to our children, and there's nothing "bitter" about this special element of American culture. Understandably, people of faith feel under siege today from the culture, as encroaching attacks on our religious liberties attempt to erode our foundation. Todd sheds light on this and other "fundamental transformation" acts using homespun humor and Twainesque irony.
So, from the White House Christmas tree celebrating a dictator by displaying a Mao Zedong ornament, to intolerant characters bashing the Boy Scouts and burning bibles, many of us are asking, "What's next?" You can get answers and encouragement all at once by reading Todd's new book.
Despite President Obama's claim in San Francisco that working-class Americans "bitterly cling" to guns or religion out of frustration, the truth is we cling to God not because we're "bitter" but because there's nothing better. And as for "clinging" to our Second Amendment rights and, in fact, to all of our constitutionally protected liberties…well, you betcha', we do cling to them proudly.
I recommend Todd's book for Easter – along with lots of chocolate and marshmallows.


...and I have no regrets.
Back in college, I've wanted a pair of mint colored rainboots, but never got around to making the purchase. Luckily, I snagged these when they were on sale for 50% OFF on the Hunter boots website and since then, I've been secretly wanting it to rain, just so I can bust out my rain boots.
But in all honesty, I don't necessarily just wear Hunter boots when it rains.
They're perfect for the snow and adds a pop of color to a casual fall outfit.
This was actually one of my favorite looks that I shot on a weekend on the Upper East Side.
The fountain made it feel like I was in Paris... which for some reason, people on Snapchat assumed I was! Haha, I wish.

iPhone 5 Replacements: Where do they come from?
Where do the "white box" replacement iPhones come from? Are they refurbished phones, phones that other customers returned, or do they come from the same stock as the new phones being sold?
I'm thinking of getting a replacement phone, but I really don't want to end up with a phone that has even more issues.
They have a batch to sell and a batch for exchanges.
The white boxes are generic reusable boxes used at the Genius Bar. They contain warranty replacements that may or may not be refurbished. If they are refurbed (which isn't likely this soon after a launch), they'll come with a new exterior shell and a new battery.
If you bought your iPhone from Apple, you can return it within 30 days and then buy another. This guarantees you get a new one, but you run the risk of them not having any brand new ones in stock to sell you.
Apple, and almost every electronics vendor, official policy is any exchange or repairs will be done with refurbished parts or units.
Most people assume because the iP 5 just launched that it has to be brand new units for exchange. This may have been the case first week or so, but considering how there are stories of folks exchanging 3-4 iPhones the first weekend because of minor cosmetic issues, there should be an ample supply of refurbished or open box units floating around by now.
Give it a few more weeks I am sure they can resurface blemished ones for recirculation.
they cant replace a new with a refurb, even a perfect condition refurb, if it is an issue out of the box that your report out of the box. that isn't legal anywhere in the states.
If you brought it in with issue that occurred afterwords they can use a refurb.
Care to cite this law?
Lies! The iPhone stork brings them!
Yes, Magnuson–Moss. people are citing the written warranty which has to do with damage buyers do after purchase. that isnt relevant to damage at the plant. Implied warranty law means that the sold phoens have to be in the condition of advertisng images and samples of new items (not handled) product in the store. It is illegal under Magfnuson to replace an item under those conditions with a refurb. It is actually a fraud. There is second liability under false adverting laws.
Waht the other poster was suggesting is that if you order a new car, and the vehicle is damaged at the factory and/or truck and the door and fender are bondo'ed with fiberglass and repainted that you would have to take deliver or lose your deposit. No. You have to be offered a new vehicle with no prior damage or use, or your deposit. Apple has to refund or replace with new. it is illegal to replace with a refurb in those conditions. Apple can replace with refurb under apple care claims but this is not an apple care claim.
Apple does have replacements in slim no accessory boxes, but they are marked in the system as new or refurb and the refurbs cannot be used for the factory damaged replacements without consent of the buyer.
are all ND phones refurbs ?
At the Apple Store I worked at, if someone brought back a defective product purchased from Apple during the return window, we accepted the product as a return, gave the customer a refund, and then (on the same transaction) sold the customer another brand-new one, right-off-the-shelf, accessories included.
If someone brought in a defective product that wasn't originally purchased from Apple, they were given the choice of either returning it to the store they bought it from (and getting another brand-new one, right-off-the-shelf), or they could have it repaired at the Genius Bar. Their choice.
Perhaps the receipt the customers sign upon receiving a Genius Bar warranty replacement, which states that the replacements may be refurbs, serves as adequate consent of the buyer. Because honestly, as litigious as people are against Apple, I haven't heard of anything in the US about Apple violating any acts by doing this.
Look Apple is under several warranties. there is their printed warranty and federal a law on warranties which supersedes anything written. There are also several kinds of warranty claims. This one is factory damage. I fyou look at the pictures it is stunning. So Apple is going to in this case be ruled by public relations concerns, pluys the possibility of litigation down the road (probably wouldn't even start for 12 months). But that doesnt change the fact that you cant sell a factory damaged item as new in the first place.
If your phone is scratched up at the factory this is not a claim on the written warranty it is a claim on the implied warranty, which counter-intuitively to most people, is a stronger claim.
As you point out it is moot since they may have a genral have a policy on new not refurb within 30 days of purchase. The stickly part for Apple would be forcing people to go to seller. A maker cannot actually stop there on a product with factory damage if the retailer balks. Apple cant give a refund of purchase price since 95% of the provider as retailer sales are subsidized.
Again legally, it is not the selller, provider, or OM (Foxconn) that is legally responsble to the buyer -- it is Apple. And the implied warranty as far as case damge derives not from anything in writing but from the advertising pictures.
Again Apple seems to be doing the right thing by people after an initial and not suprising period of confusion and confused information for service reps. the right thing, and the legal obligation for damage out of the box is full refund or replacment with new, not refurb product. Again that is differnt case from user damaged product. Apple doesnt warrant agaisnt slight damage by user (user case and screen scratches).
This one is factory damage. I fyou look at the pictures it is stunning.
I don't see where the OP has posted pics in this thread.
No. They're replacement phones. There are no refurb iPhone 5s yet.
ND models for A1429 (CDMA) are unlocked with respect to Sprint and Verizon and require you to select a carrier before activating the phone. I'm not sure about ND AT&T models (if they even have any).
I haven't heard that part of the Magnuson-Moss Act if what you wrote is actually accurate and you're not misinterpreting the law (I'm familiar with the part where they can't void the warranty just because you make a modification to it or you do the repair yourself instead of the dealer); however, you can't have it both ways. Either it's illegal at all cost or it's legal with the consent of the buyer.
I'm pretty sure the initial batch of replacements come from factory rejects that get refurbished and then used as replacement phones.
I heard the Stork dropps them off.
I got a replacement and was told it was a brand-new phone.
It was in better condition than my "brand-new" phone which came with a ding in the backplate. Even the home button clicked more precisely.
Yes, it would be illegal to sell you a refurbished phone without telling you it is such. Even if it was refurbished, does it really matter? They are probably about the same when it comes to quality given that new phones have so many defects.
It is ok you are unfamiliar with the law and the case law. Lots of people are.
And I did not say "both ways." Where you quoted me in the first sense there is the active verb sense, ie a maker simply provide a replacement without saying it is a refurb and asking for consent (usually in consideration such as a partial refund/discount) is not allowed on DOA merchandise. (you actually run into both bait and switch and false advertising laws in that case a well) that is why the two statements seem exclusive to you even though they are not. I worked in distribution of various products . You cannot sell product damaged at factory as new. If you do so inadvertantly it is not legal to force a refurb on unwitting buyers of such product.
They are sending out new phones. They are in the white boxes with no accessories.
All this diatribe about what apple HAS to do is fodder. They sell you a phone. If youre not happy about what you get you have 2 options. Refund or replacement.
Same thing that happens with all consumer good in the USA.
Nah. They're all dirty refurbs! Refurbs that (even though you can't tell) have "I'm a refurb, neener neener neener" on a note just under the screen.
People can't tell the difference. Everyone always asks and says they don't want problems, when historically the refurbs have more problems worked out by the time they make it white box anyway.
Look at all of the brand new problems, then compare it to all of the refurb issues.
Refurbs are almost superior (the way apple does them, with all new exteriors).
You seem to have no idea of US consumer law. I hope you are happy takin delivery of new cars or watches that are scratched or suits that are stained.
Consumer goods damage at factory sold as new cant be replaced with refurbs.
So you are missing what was being discussed: Replacement with what? Some people are under the erroneous impression Apple can replace with a refurb (which is probably moot this early). The point is that isn't legal to force a refurb. Factory damaged items are not written warranty claims, they are stronger claims under the law (implied warranty). In fact if there is no written warranty they have to give you complete refund, or completely new replacement.
Rfeurbs can have considerably rough handling, a fair amount of scratches on body or screens etc. they only have to be "functional" under law, but those are for warranty claims -- the type of claims being discussed on this thread are not written warranty claims..
I am not ragging on apple, they are doing the right thing for example the Support people noted my account to just return the two phones and keep chargers, lighting cables and earrpods. So I got new phones each with double accessories because of the scratches!

NSA discovers security flaw in Windows, Microsoft issues fix
Posted on Tuesday, January 14th, 2020 By Matt O'brien, AP Technology Writer
The National Security Agency has discovered a major security flaw in Microsoft's Windows operating system and tipped off the company rather than exploit it for its own intelligence needs.
Microsoft made a software patch to fix it available Tuesday and credited the agency for discovering the flaw. The company said it has not seen any evidence that hackers have used the technique discovered by the NSA.
Microsoft said the flaw affected Windows 10, the newest version of its operating system. Microsoft said an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by spoofing a code-signing certificate so it looked like a file came from a trusted source.
"The user would have no way of knowing the file was malicious, because the digital signature would appear to from a trusted provider," the company said.
If successfully exploited, an attacker would have been able to conduct "man-in-the-middle attacks" and decrypt confidential information on user connections to the affected software, the company said.
Some computers will get the free update automatically if they have the option turned on. Others can get it manually. Microsoft typically releases security and other updates once a month and waited until Tuesday to disclose the flaw and the NSA's involvement.
Priscilla Moriuchi, who retired from the NSA in 2017 after running its East Asia and Pacific operations, said this is a good example of the "constructive role" that the NSA can play in improving global information security. Moriuchi, now an analyst at the U.S. cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, said it's likely a reflection of changes made in 2017 to how the U.S. determines whether to disclose a major vulnerability or exploit it for intelligence purposes.
The revamping of what's known as the "Vulnerability Equities Process" put more emphasis on disclosing unpatched vulnerabilities whenever possible to protect core internet systems and the U.S. economy and general public.
Those changes happened after a group calling itself "Shadow Brokers" released a trove of high-level hacking tools stolen from the NSA.

It's been a while since I've made these…and then I realized, even though you may have seen them before, I've never blogged about them. Plus, I've made a couple changes to the originals.
It all started when I found (orange!) candy-coated sunflower seeds at Tj-Maxx/HomeGoods. Immediately I thought – noses, as carrots for snowmen! Just what any normal person would think if they came across these, right!?
Well anyways, I highly suggest you go buy yourself a pack o' Nutter Butters, some Candiquik and fancy sprinkles. Because these guys are too cute.
Begin by melting Vanilla Candiquik in the tray according to package directions.
Dip Nutter Butter cookies in the coating and place on wax paper.
Before the coating has set, press 1 coated sunflower seed as the nose and 3 confetti sprinkles as buttons; let set.
Once the coating is completely dry, use the edible marker to draw eyes and smile (or smirk, grin, "O", etc.).
Using cake writing icing to pipe on hat.
Melt Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating in Melt and Make Microwaveable Tray™ according to directions on package.
Dip cookies in melted CANDIQUIK® and place on wax paper.
Press (3) round confetti sprinkles as buttons and (1) orange coated sunflower seed as the nose.
Once dry, create faces with edible marker and hats with decorative icings.
Tips for making the perfect gingerbread house!
I have always thought these were so adorable! I am going to make some for sure; yours are darling!
What else could be used in place of the sunflower seeds? Just icing?
Hi Amanda, try using an orange tic tac!!
These are the cutest Nutter Butter's I have ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing at Whatcha Whipped Up Wednesday.
Very cute and they are the perfect snowmen shape!!
I can not wait to try these this year! I like to make things in advance and was wondering if I have to worry about the nutter butter getting soggy at all from the candiquik? Thank you!
Hi Yevette! You shouldn't have any troubles with the cookies getting soggy, just store them in an airtight container until ready to serve!

Doesn't it also mean that if my DNS is manipulated, emerge will happily connect to any other rsync server?
but since a lot of Gentoo users seem to use rsync, this question bugs me.
Also all howto's about setting up a portage mirror only explain rsync.
NeddySeagoon, thank you very much for your answer.
Then I will stick with emerge-webrsync and am looking forward to the tree signing.
Seems like some Manifest files are already signed.

This happens only in one of my Gentoo installations, but I always used emerge-webrsync, I'm pretty sure.
Any ideas what that could mean? A search only brought up a bug with pycrypto, which was fixed years ago.
Syncs are not atomic. Its possible you have a mix of old bits and new bits.
A new sync should fix it.
I see, you mean the sync was interrupted at that point.
Yes, a new sync fixed it.

By this, she means the King James Version does not always match the English definitions provided in the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear. Indeed it does not, and for very good reasons.
Due to the fact that most modern bible versions and some prominent false teachers of bible prophecy also teach the mark of the beast will be "on" the hand or "on" forehead, I knew it was time to investigate the George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear. I have since learned that this interlinear has been used for decades in KJV Bible colleges and seminaries and is currently being endorsed by ministries dedicated to defending the King James 1611 Bible.
The English definitions in the George Ricker Berry Interlinear are the work of one man, Thomas Newberry. Newberry, a Plymouth Brethren leader who chose to mark his Newberry Reference Bible (originally published in 1893) with New Age jargon, selected the English words for the literal translation of the Stephens 1550 Greek text (Received Text) which was published in the United States in 1897 under the name, The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear.
In view of the fact that Thomas Newberry's choice of words for the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear matches many of the words chosen by the New King James Version editors—almost 100 years later—I am not surprised the New King James [transitional] Version has been so widely received among former King James 1611 Bible readers.
The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear is featured on Amazon.com under the title, Greek to English Interlinear New Testament-KJV. Is the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear as authoritative or even more authoritative than the King James 1611 New Testament? Should the discerning Christian use the George Ricker Berry Interlinear New Testament--KJV to verify the accuracy of the King James 1611 New Testament? I believe that after you have learned more about the background of the man who authored the English definitions and examined the charts you will agree the answer is "No."
Literal translation refers to the result of translating text from one language to another; translating each word independently as opposed to translating the entire phrase. Literal translations also ignore idioms.
The pastor explained that an understanding of Greek is necessary so that one is not misled due to the way certain Greek words are translated in the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear. For example, the Greek word that is translated by Newberry as "ages to ages" means one thing to a person familiar with Greek and something entirely different to the English reader with no background in the Greek language. To the English reader with no Greek knowledge (such as myself), the phrase "ages of the ages" means to continue for an indefinite period of time. To a Greek student the Greek word that was literally rendered "ages of the ages" means eternal or everlasting. Someone with no Greek background would not be aware of this and could easily be stumbled and even go on to deceive others because the phrase, "ages of the ages" is used in place of the word "everlasting" in the George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear.
1. And these shall_go_away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
2. And the devil that deceived them was_cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false_prophet are, and shall_be_tormented day and night forever and ever.
margin: the ages of the ages.
In view of the fact that people are being led astray due to Thomas Newberry's marginal notes, I do not share the pastor's belief that the English definitions in the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear are fairly harmless as long as the reader understands Greek. I continue to have grave suspicions regarding the George Ricker Berry English Interlinear because the author, Thomas Newberry, was against the Textus Receptus!
It shares New Age phrases and wording in common with modern bible versions, including the corrupt NKJV. See proof of this statement in the chart, The George Ricker Berry and the Darby Translation Compared. This chart reveals that Thomas Newberry's work often matches another Plymouth Brethren translation, the Darby Translation.
Thomas Newberry did not truly hold to the Received Text or the KJV as the word of God in English. (Indeed, Thomas Newberry exalted the Revised Version and its underlying Greek texts above the the Authorized Version.) This fact is further evidenced by Newberry's complete collation of six critical Greek texts (8) written by modernists which are placed in the lower margin of every page of his George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear.
At this point you might not be surprised to learn that Thomas Newberry owned and studied his own copy of the corrupt Codex Sinaiticus manuscript. Dr. David O. Fuller cited Dean John W. Burgon as referring to this Alexandrian manuscript as "very nearly the foulest in existence." (9) Newberry poured over his copy of the Codex Sinaiticus for 25 years and used the knowledge gained from his study to write the notes for his Newberry Study Bible!
Why are Christians who regard the King James 1611 Bible as the word of God comparing the real English Bible with an English Interlinear written by a man who studied "very nearly the foulest" Minority Text manuscript in existence for 25 years and who used the fruits of his study to write marginal notes and alternate English definitions for his Newberry Study Bible? It is unrealistic to assume that Thomas Newberry's 25-year study of the Codex Sinaiticus had no effect upon the way he conducted his "literal," word-for-word translation of the Stephanus 1550 Greek New Testament into English.
It is worthy to note that the publisher of the George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear does not disclose the true author of the English Interlinear anywhere within its pages. The reader is led to believe that George Ricker Berry wrote the English Interlinear when in fact G. R. Berry wrote only the Greek-English New Testament Lexicon and the New Testament Synonyms found at the back of the Greek to English Interlinear that bears his name.
The George Ricker Berry Greek to English Interlinear or any interlinear (or any Reference Bible) should not be used by anyone to cast doubt on or to "verify" the King James Bible.
(8) Newberry gives in the lower margin of each page a complete collation of six critical editions: Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendork, Tragelles, Alford, and Woodsworth.

Mourning Routine "Theme Parks"
Gather around for another introduction on this lovely Friday. This time it's an exciting new rock song from a promising young artist. This vibeful song is sure to become a favourite, especially when you love a good post punk tune!
Mourning Routine is the solo project of a young musician Lucas Kamal. Originally from Orlando, he's currently a college student in Worcester, MA. Much like the artist himself, his music has been growing up and reflecting the artist's inner world through his personal sonic prism of alternative rock. His childhood home was full of classic rock such as the Cure, the Clash and Talking Heads, and his discoveries run across genres of post-punk, lo-fi and indie. All that has inspired his own sound considerably resulting in charming, flowing and emotional songs, the kind of sound you can feel the spirit pouring.
"If this is your first time listening to Mourning Routine and don't quite know what to expect- don't fret! Kamal's driving basslines, covered in layers of spacey arpeggiated guitars and synths call back to the days of 80's new wave, while his distorted, crooning vocals pull heavy from early 2000's post punk acts like The Strokes and Interpol."
The project has released two singles and more recently, a debut EP full of fresh tunes ran by the adolescent passion. But as the artist himself grows, he felt the sound represented on the EP no longer matched who he was anymore. As a result, his motivation to keep writing music dissipated. With pandemic and resulting poor mental health added into the mix, the artist often ended up asking himself: "Is it worth trying to make music anymore?"
Despite all this, he didn't give in.
His new single dropping today is a solid emotive blast that wipes away all that's dark. The artist has won the battle with himself, and the sound reflects that perfectly, running with an awe-inspiring soaring passion, feeling like being on a ride in a theme park, or gliding on a very long zipline in an adventure park. You can feel the wind in your face with this song!
Aptly named "Theme Parks", this is a song based an all of these feelings and struggles he'd been facing, the answer to his inner questions and searches for the sound he could call truly his own. The path to writing this song has been bumpy, as Kamal explains:
"Funny enough, "Theme Parks" wouldn't have been written if it wasn't for TikTok. The original inspiration for the lyrics came from the countless videos of artists promoting their music on the platform and seemingly blowing up overnight. Lucas often thought to himself "why can't that be me?" And frustration often occurred when he began comparing himself to others. He also met his producer, Max Colbert, through TikTok."
"Theme Parks" marks the end of the artist's teenage years, turning into a perfect pilot song for his future endeavors, hopefully many more songs to come. The sound of Mourning Routine is awesome and in all ways captivating. There's no doubt his music is going to reach new heights, so follow this project and become part of his journey!
Don't forget to support this project and to follow on TikTok, Instagram, Soundcloud, YouTube, and Spotify. It also helps to stream and share their music; you can obviously find it in the following Playlists: : Less Than 1,000 Followers, Fresh Singles, Alterindie State Of Mind, and Indie Only.
