From Wi-Fi to smartphones, wireless technology has become ubiquitous in businesses and is growing more vital every day. But it also can be frustrating as hell for IT groups.
How substantial is the anxiety that wireless technology creates for IT? "HUGE," in all caps, wrote Brad Wright, vice president of global communications technology at Jacobs Engineering Group.
[ Keep up on the latest networking news with our Networking Report newsletter. | Stay ahead of advances in mobile technology with InfoWorld's Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
That's because wireless environments are difficult to support, especially setups like the one at Jacobs, which has 15,000 wireless users in 400 locations, he said. Also, wireless technology is evolving and as it does so, users are growing increasingly demanding and tend to get frustrated by wireless policies and new programs, he added.
Over the next decade, the complexity will only get worse, even for well-prepared companies, analysts said, and a premium will be placed on CIOs and IT organizations that recognize that mobility needs to be at the top of the IT agenda.
Given the wireless megatrend and associated growing pains, it's fair to ask how midsize and large IT shops are managing wireless and what they're doing to prepare for the evolution of wireless over the coming decade. For example, are companies creating a new position of chief mobility officer, or appointing someone with a title similar to Wright's to oversee all the moving parts? Are IT shops integrating wireless into their technology processes and systems?
Computerworld contacted 10 IT directors at universities and businesses as well as various industry analysts and wireless vendors to ask them how prepared IT shops are to face the next wireless decade. Not surprisingly, IT managers brag that they are on top of things, pretty much. However, some confessed that they feel anxious about forthcoming technologies, such as video over wireless and voice over Wi-Fi, or that they're concerned about their ability to control the deluge of smartphone models and applications and provide sufficient security for all of them.
Small and midsize businesses, and even some large ones, aren't "fully aware of how several of these coming wireless services might impact them from a cost and support perspective," Wright said. "Impacts of video over wireless, voice over Wi-Fi and others are hard to gauge at present, and this will become increasingly difficult as users invent new reasons for such technologies to be used for work or play."
Concerns over rapid change
Controlling wireless telecommunications expenses, for example, has "become a major worry," said an IT manager at a large New York cultural institution, who asked not to be named.
Russ Hester, CTO at the Francis Tuttle Technology Center, an educational institution in Oklahoma City, said the biggest concern he faces is developing a "sound security approach to make more core services available to wireless devices." Hester said he already sees smartphones taking up the bulk of Wi-Fi network usage, and he pointed out that Francis Tuttle is rolling out video-over-wireless capacity for a new culinary school.
Business IT leaders should take note: Schools and universities might well be the proving ground for future wireless applications and services. At Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., for example, an Aruba Networks 802.11n wireless LAN is helping IT managers distribute 17 channels of IP-based television to dorm rooms. The cost is far lower than what it would cost to offer TV via coaxial cable, or even deliver TV via Ethernet, said Jimmy Graham, manager of network services at Liberty. "IPTV is working out great," Graham said. "Video is kind of the future. We expect more video chat, but also all the content you get from Hulu and YouTube."
"But it's hard to keep ahead" of wireless needs, added Bruce Osborne, a network engineer at Liberty University.
Liberty might be ahead of the mobility game, for now, analysts said. "In truth, few companies truly understand the ramifications of the future wireless transformations coming," said Jack Gold, an analyst at J.Gold Associates. Handling support for a diverse collection of consumer smartphones, such as the iPhone and Android-based devices, is "just the tip of the iceberg," he said.
Technologies such as video streaming, real-time collaboration, and cloud-based systems accessed from mobile devices "will all have a profound effect on corporate networks, security and management of devices and users," Gold added. "Few companies have a long-term strategic vision for mobility, let alone a strategic plan."
A blurring of handheld form factors
Change is coming quickly in the mobile industry. One indicator is the variety of new devices introduced each quarter, which makes it difficult to plan two years ahead, let alone 10 years. The next trend-setting iPhone is supposed to include a forward-facing video camera for video chat, for example, while Apple's iPad tablet is expected to spawn a slew of imitators on a variety of operating systems.
The expected changes mean that companies will need to hire more IT workers who are familiar with mobile platforms and applications, and that universities need to train engineers for such work.
"We're due for massive change [in enterprise mobility] in the next 10 years," said Jim Hemmer, CEO of Antenna Software, a Jersey City, N.J.-based company that builds and hosts enterprise mobile applications for businesses.
Hemmer expects a blurring of handheld form factors over the next two years. "We'll see the mobile handset augmented by some sort of iPad-like device, and the devices will be smaller than iPads but bigger than BlackBerries, with touchscreens and maybe a slip-out keyboard. They will cost $300 to $500 and will completely replace the laptop at several times that much."
Hemmer also sees a sweeping move toward greater worker mobility in a few years. "It will be a worker with a phone on the hip, not working in an office and without a need for a desk phone. The device will be graphical, allowing workers to read files and modify them. It will totally change business," he said.
One Antenna customer, John Rinaldi of ThyssenKrupp Elevator, hopes to outguess the coming demands imposed by wireless mobility. "With wireless, all of your traditional IT concerns are multiplied across the number of wireless devices, tools, security, help desk, and support, so matters are escalated tenfold," he said.
What about a chief mobility officer?
Rinaldi, who is system architect for service management and mobility at ThyssenKrupp, works on innovations for 15,000 workers and sees the need for companies to have corporate chief mobility officers or positions like his. "There needs to be more focus on what is the next best thing in wireless, from a productivity standpoint," he said. "There's a need for a knowledge position that has the forward-thinking to manage change, whether it's a CMO or a group. "
IT leaders and analysts interviewed for this article are divided as to whether organizations need chief mobility officers.
"I don't think organizations want to add more management layers like a CMO [in these] economic times, but mobility needs to be an adjective on every IT noun today," said Ken Dulaney, an analyst at Gartner. "Every part of the IT infrastructure team has to be aware of mobile, just like they have to aware of things like green technology."
Hemmer said that the most striking change coming with wireless technology in the enterprise may be the move toward building consumer-facing mobile applications that give wireless customers the ability to buy a company's products and services or make financial transactions via smartphones and other devices.
Traditionally, corporations have deployed wireless applications to cut costs and improve productivity for sales and field service workers. Now, enterprises are expected to shift to writing business-to-consumer applications to bring in top-line revenues, Hemmer said. "Suddenly the CEO is going to be directly involved saying, 'This is our brand' on a mobile consumer-facing application."
Because the economy is expected to grow slowly for some time, Dulaney said corporations will work steadily to gradually adapt their wireless infrastructures as more Wi-Fi equipment is installed, as more 3G and 4G networks are built out by carriers, and as smartphones proliferate.
"The challenge now is in shaping the networks, the security and the software to enable a common set of capabilities," Dulaney said. "Networks are becoming borderless, but their capabilities are not homogeneous and the applications are not forgiving of the transitions. That is where the work is. But, bottom line, mobility in enterprises is being adapted in a gradual way due to economics."

text: I went to my local pro shop today and was able to pick up my new Hoyt CRX 32 in Max1 camo and all I can say is oh my. The bow is very detailed the max 1 looks great. I was able to get it set up and shoot it today and the bow is very quiet and ZERO hand shock, totally dead in the hand. I think it us just a all around improved version of the Maxxis. My Internet is done right now but I will post pics later. If you have not shot one you need to try it. I also put in a G5 expert pro very easy to set up and on contact issues at all. Big thanks to Richard at Aarons Archery for setting it up and a big thanks to my buddy at Hoyt.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – San Jose Earthquakes players Matt Luzunaris and Sam Cronin paid a visit to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in San Francisco, Calif. on Wednesday to spend time with kids in the outpatient and oncology wards.
Quakes forward Matt Luzunaris was particularly moved during his visit to Benioff. Luzunaris' brother passed away from cancer and his girlfriend is now three weeks in remission after battling Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
[inline_node:9486]Luzunaris and Cronin played video games, watched clips of movies, talked about sports and socialized with 11 children fighting various illnesses as well as their families. Luzunaris even tried to juggle for a shy patient. Each kid received a mini soccer ball, San Jose Earthquakes stickers, autographed pictures, and had the opportunity to take photos with San Jose's players.
"You can tell that it has really made a difference in each patient's day, especially if it is a patient that enjoys soccer," said Child Care Specialist, Stephanie Nobles. "Even if the patients are not as familiar with soccer, it is just something to brighten their day. It is great for them to meet new people and provide a sort of distraction from their day to day of being in a hospital setting. Everybody is smiling and laughing and really enjoying each other."
One enthusiastic nine year old named Kevin showed off his Game Cube skills and greeted the players every time they walked by. He is a very proud big brother and tenderly introduced the players to his baby sister, Katie, who was just as excited about the new soccer balls.
Every child was eager to meet the players and waited patiently as they made their rounds. The San Jose Earthquakes put a lot of smiles on their faces, and were asked to visit again soon.

For various sectors, it is often said that foreign stocks offer higher dividend yields than their U.S. counterparts. That is especially true in the energy patch. For example, the dividend yield on Exxon Mobil XOM, -0.77% the largest U.S. oil company is just 2.6 percent. Investors can get another 210 basis points of yield with Royal Dutch Shell , Europe's largest oil company.
Even embattled BP BP, -0.82% Europe's second-largest oil company, yields an attractive 5.2 percent. That is double Exxon's yield and well above the 3.4 percent offered by Chevron CVX, +0.11%
Investors looking to exploit this theme at the ETF level should consider the tiny SPDR S&P Energy Sector ETF IPW, +0.13% which S&P Capital IQ rated Marketweight in a recent research note. IPW yields 3.3 percent, nearly double the dividend yield on the far larger Select Sector Energy SPDR XLE, -0.39%
The big stumbling block with IPW is its diminutive stature. The fund has just $11.1 million in assets, which as S&P Capital IQ notes, contributes to a wide bid/ask spread and the firm's tepid overall ranking of the fund.
On the bright side, IPW "owns a number of stocks that our global equity research team views as attractively valued, with many of the companies having investment grade credit ratings from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services," S&P Capital IQ said in the note.
Two Royal Dutch Shell securities combine for 16.5 percent of IPW's weight, making the Anglo-Dutch oil giant the most represented company in the ETF. BP at 9.9 percent is IPW's largest individual holding. France's Total TOT, -0.06% Italy's Eni E, +0.03% and Canada's Suncor Energy SU, -0.23% are also found among the fund's top-10 holdings. Overall, four of IPW's eight largest holdings are rated Buy by S&P Capital IQ.
"S&P Capital IQ's Buy recommendation on Total is supported by its above-average 6% dividend yield and a belief that its conventional upstream portfolio is strong," the firm said in the note. S&P "estimates that the company's four-year upstream unit costs are low compared to its super-major peers and its organic reserve replacement rate will be over 100% in 2012-15. In addition to being an S&P Capital IQ Buy recommended stock, Total has a Standard & Poor's Credit Rating of AA-."
Year-to-date, IPW has lagged the performance of XLE, but the SPDR fund has slightly outperformed the rival iShares MSCI ACWI ex US Energy Sector Index Fund AXEN
Another point is in IPW's favor is developed markets exposure. The fund offers token exposure to South Korea, but none to Brazil. That means Petrobras PBR, +0.11% one of the worst-performing major global oil stocks over the past several years, is not part of IPW's lineup.

"Last year, the tour spent a lot of money on the console we had out with us just to keep it running and operational," states Lane. "We have had no such problems this year with the Yamaha PM5D-EX, and the audio side of things has never been more consistent. With Yamaha's integrated Steinberg Nuendo templates, I was able to set up and record a complete multi-track recording of a particular show for release on iTunes. And, my entire setup is able to fit into my backpack which I carry on airplanes with ease."
"No other system can compete for audio quality, portability, ease of use, and powerful features," Lane continues. "With the sheer track count in addition to the high track count, I can mix 64-tracks of audio at 48khz and 24-bit resolution all with one MADI interface and one laptop running Nuendo 4. And, in combination of the DSP5D expander, the PM5D-EX offers great sound quality, as well as high channel counts in a very compact and rugged package which is perfect for concerts of this scale."

High ISO noise and detail
As we'd expect, in order to see the true potential of the 5D Mark III's 22MP sensor it is necessary to shoot in Raw mode and spend a little time adjusting noise reduction and sharpening sliders. That said, we're disappointed by how aggressively the 5D III seems to reduce noise at high ISO sensitivities and along with it, detail.
Smoother JPEGs are more 'print friendly' (assuming you're not making massive prints) and typically look better when displayed at low magnifications on screen, but we suspect that a lot of photographers woud prefer a touch more detail, even at the expense of a little more visible luminance noise. On this page we're showing you several images, shot in both JPEG and RAW mode towards the upper end of the 5D Mark III's ISO sensitivity scale. The aim here is to give you some idea of how the camera performs at default settings, as well as the potential of the files for further adjustment in Raw processing software. We've also included a quick comparison with the previous-generation 5D Mark II and the Nikon D800.
The sample image below was taken in low light at ISO 8000 and the Standard noise reduction setting. The image is very clean but some of the fine detail in the fur has been lost. We converted the raw file in ACR 6.7 and applied some custom noise reduction (luminance 0, chroma 23, chroma detail 18) which results in a grainier but more detailed image. Some of the individual hairs in the fur are now visible but chroma noise is still very well controlled. On the downside there is more visible luminance 'grain' in the image but this gives the image a more 'film-like' appearance than the smoothed out look of aggressive noise reduction.
ACR 6.7 - Luminance NR 0 / Chroma 23 | JPEG - ISO 8000 / NR Standard |
100% crop | 100% crop |
Again, as you can see from these comparisons, the 5D Mark III's default noise reduction masks quite a lot of fine detail at ISO 12,800, which becomes very obvious when the JPEG is viewed alongside a processed Raw file. We haven't done any in-depth processing here - what you're looking at is just a 'straight' conversion at default settings in Adobe Camera Raw.
ACR 6.7 - Luminance NR 0 / Chroma 23 | JPEG - ISO 25600 / NR Standard |
100% crop | 100% crop |
High ISO noise reduction
Here you can see the effect of adjusting the 5D Mark III's high ISO noise reduction settings. As we've mentioned in the noise section of this review, at default settings at higher ISO sensitivities the 5D Mark III's application of noise reduction is a little heavy-handed, resulting in comparatively clean output but a loss of fine low-contrast detail. It is interesting to note how close 'Standard' noise reduction is to 'high' here, and while you can get more detail by dialling down noise reduction to 'low' or 'off' we'd always opt for shooting raw and carefully adjusting noise reduction post-capture if fine detail is critical.
Compared to the EOS 5D Mark II and Nikon D800
We thought it would be interesting to see how the Canon EOS 5D Mark III compares to its predecessor, the 5D Mark II, and to its arguably closest rival, the Nikon D800 in low light and at high sensitivities. You can compare the cameras at their respective native resolution in our comparison tool but for the purpose of this test we have downsampled the Nikon D800 image to the size of the EOS 5D Mark III file. As the EOS 5D Mark II's file size is almost identical to the Mark III we did not modify its size. We processed raw files from each camera with ACR's sharpening and noise reduction set to '0'. The 36MP Nikon D800 image was then downsampled to match the 22MP resolution of the 5D Mark III. Identical amounts of low-radius sharpening were applied to all images in Photoshop.
The scene below was shot at ISO 6400 under low color-temperature (approx. 2600K) artificial light, designed to be representative of typical indoor lighting. This accentuates the appearance of noise due to the low level of blue light in the spectrum of the light source. This means that to achieve accurate white balance the blue channel has to be amplified strongly, and the green channel to a lesser extent - thereby increasing the visible noise.
Canon EOS 5D Mark III ISO 6400 ACR 6.7 Raw |
Canon EOS 5D Mark II ISO 6400 ACR 6.7 Raw |
Nikon D800 ISO 6400 ACR 6.7 Raw |
When comparing the EOS 5D Mark III to its predecessor it becomes clear that the new model has improved in terms of noise performance, with lower levels of both the grain and the color blotches of chroma noise. This is particularly visible in the shadow areas of the image. The downsampled D800 image however compares favorably to the 5D Mark III. The Nikon applies a slightly more contrasty tone curve to its image and while noise levels in brighter image areas are comparable to the Canon the Nikon is cleaner in the shadows. That said, overall the difference isn't great and, considering the high sensitivity, both cameras, 5D Mark III and D800, are doing a very good job.

When will we learn more about how Sara became the Black Canary?
Caity Lotz: I think, in the upcoming episodes, especially the next one, we really get to dive into Sara's backstory and what happened to her and how she became this new version of Sara that she is today.
How would you describe the character?
Caity Lotz: She is tough. She's not a damsel in distress. What I'm hoping with her is that you feel her core has that strength, so she's believable.
What is the relationship like between Sara and Oliver?
Caity Lotz: I think their relationship's super-complicated. They have this shared past together, but there's still some big chunks of time missing that they don't know, that changed them. So there's a lot they don't know about each other, who they are now. I think presently Sara has so much darkness within her that any kind of relationship with anybody is difficult for her. She's not used to trusting anybody. And Oliver comes in with this genuine care, but she's very tentative about it and doesn't know how to accept it.
Is Sara going to have any sort of relationship with her father and sister?
Caity Lotz: I know Sara doesn't want to, she doesn't want to see her family. She doesn't want to go back into their lives, because she doesn't think she's worthy of love. So she wants to stay out of it. And she also wants to keep them safe. She knows there's a lot of danger surrounding her and her past is still chasing her. She doesn't want that to catch up to her family.
When did you find out exactly who your character was?
Caity Lotz: Well, I definitely didn't know it at first. The audition was for some character named "Lisa," and the sides were something they just made up. And even when I got the part, I still didn't know what the part was. It wasn't until I came into a meeting with one of the producers, Andrew Kreisberg, he told me who I was playing — about Sara and about the Canary.
How are the fight scenes going?
Caity Lotz: I love doing fight scenes! I have a martial arts background and a dance background, so it's a lot of fun. And it's hard! Using a bow-staff — I had never used that weapon before. So I did get a lot of bumps and bruises from it. But we have an amazing stunt team and an amazing stunt coordinator, so it's always awesome.
"Arrow" airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

The Austonian to be Green, Austin's Tallest Tower (S2)
In a city known for its aversion to development and proudly celebrated with the phrase "Keep Austin Weird," what does it take to get the go ahead approvals on what will be the tallest tower in the skyline? Quite simply, a commitment to green building. The Austonian, developed by Benchmark Development and designed by Ziegler Cooper Architects, is going to be one of a kind in Austin. And judging by the renderings, it's going to tower over everything else in the city, too. The 56-floor building will have 188 residential condominiums, with pricing from $550,000 (rough revenue analysis = 188 * $550k = $103.4 M). But there's also going to be some ground floor retail, and according to Emporis, construction is expected to be complete in 2009.
The Austonian will be built to Austin's well-known Green Building Program, with features such as a rainwater capture system; high-performance, low-E glass walls; Mecho-Shades; and Energy Star-rated appliances. There's also going to be an urban garden a first-class fitness room on the top floor. The tower will feature a glass and aluminum "skin" that is layered to provide depth to its slender shape. So, all in all, it looks good and if you're going to build high, at least it's in the middle of downtown.

The Northeast relies heavily on transportation for its day-to-day functions. Increasingly unpredictable climate changes, dense population, and rapidly aging infrastructure have made the ability to secure financial resources for transportation improvements, expansion, and repair critical. Pending legislation in the New Jersey General Assembly to establish a state Transportation Infrastructure Bank (the Bank) could provide a solution not only for New Jersey, but also for other states across the region.
Bill A3177 would provide capital to the Bank by pairing public funds with private capital available in pension funds, private equity, and other resources. The Bank would exist within New Jersey's already existing Environmental Infrastructure Trust Fund (the Trust). By leveraging public money with private funds, the Bank is intended to provide the stimulus needed to begin critical infrastructure projects across the state. The types of projects funded would include:
Under the legislation, the Bank would make and contract to make loans as well as provide other assistance to any public or private entity to finance the cost of a proposed transportation project. The Bank must function in accordance with the provisions of the federal infrastructure bank program, and the projects must be included on the Department of Transportation's project priority list for the ensuing fiscal year.
The Bank would be able to receive funds from any source, or issue bonds, notes, or other obligations in the principal amounts necessary to finance or refinance short-term or temporary loans to either local government units or private individuals. In the event that a private entity receiving a loan from the Bank is unable to pay its obligations, the Bank would have the authority to recover any money it is owed.
A slightly different bill has been introduced in the state Senate, so before Bill A3177 becomes law, the differences between the two bills must be reconciled.
The attorneys in Ballard Spahr's P3/Infrastructure Group and Public Finance Department routinely monitor federal and state transportation financing legislation and advise clients on its potential impact. If you have questions about the Transportation Infrastructure Bank legislation in New Jersey, please contact P3/Infrastructure Practice Leader Brian Walsh at 215.864.8510 or email@example.com, Steve T. Park at 215.864.8533 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Kimberly D. Magrini at 215.864.8365 or email@example.com.

Seek out Alexstrasza the Life-Binder at Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight.
Our assault against Angrathar has staggered the Scourge, but they remain unrelenting. From overhead they send their frost wyrms to strafe the field of battle, making an advance upon the gate itself impossible. The frost wyrm attacks must be stopped, but before we defile the bones of ancient dragons, we must gain permission from their queen.
Travel southeast to Wyrmrest Temple and seek out Queen Alexstrasza. Tell her what we must do and ask her for guidance.
Go now, <name>!
You have come seeking my council, mortal. This I know, but do you know what it is that you face?
<Alexstrasza points northward.>
North of here are the dying grounds of Galakrond - progenitor of dragonkind. It is from Galakrond that the Titans created the Aspects. Imagine, then, the power of Galakrond. His size alone was greater than all of the Aspects combined! Now attempt to understand what the Scourge do in the Great Dragonblight.
Frost wyrms, mortal, should be the least of your concerns.
Hopefully, players already have Wyrmrest's flight path. If so, take a gryphon from Fordragon Hold. If not, head back to the 7th Legion Front and then run south down the Path of the Titans to Wyrmrest Temple.

text: Male Rape On General HospitalTracie Egan Morrissey2/01/11 7:14pmFiled to: Soap dishMale rape general hospitalRapeGeneral HospitalClipstweet271EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink While the sexual assault of 17-year-old Michael Corinthos happened a few months ago and has been part of GH's storyline, this week was the first time the character (played by actor Chad Duell) addressed the fact that he was raped.AdvertisementThe rape happened in prison—in a plot associated with James Franco's character—and although the act itself wasn't actually depicted on television (obviously), today's episode was the culmination of the first storyline in daytime television to so explicitly deal with male rape. But unlike some soap plot lines wherein a female character is raped, Michael did not fall in love with his assaulter. Instead, the man was murdered. Interestingly, though, overall the topic of prison rape is being handled very seriously, with Michael's mother stressing the importance of therapy to him.Reply271 repliesLeave a reply

text: Sometimes, it's just flat-out difficult to keep up with Matt Cole. He was in England earlier this fall brewing a special beer at Shepherd Neame, the oldest brewery in the country. Then he was at Troegs Brewing Co. in Pennsylvania making a collaborative beer called Fat Scratch Fever. And, it turns out he's been in Columbus making a collaborative beer with Columbus Brewing Co. That effort, called Brewno Black Barley Wine, will be released at 6 p.m. today (Nov. 2) at Bodega, a hip bar/restaurant in Columbus, according to a Facebook post today. Cole will be at Bodega for the release. I tried to reach out to Cole and Columbus Brewing's Eric Bean to find out a little more about the beer, but alas couldn't immediately reach them. Fat Head's Citra Pale Ale also will be on tap.

How about using flying saucers?
As in rocket powered, that is. They'd launch from a high altitude station, then fire their rockets to boost into orbit. It would be an SSTO RLV that would use helicopter blades on reentry for cross range capability. The saucer shape should reduce heating on reentry to levels managable by cheapish materials. |

Terraformer, do you mean the shape of a saucer would be the main reason for reducing heating, or are you suggesting that a saucer could spin, thus, never having the heat constantly on one are of the craft?
Interesting if a craft could come in while spinning to move the heat around it's hull, something that couldnt work for anything like a shuttle. |

The shape of the sauer would reduce heating compared with low drag designs. I don't know what speed the Helcopter blades could be put into operation, though.

Part 12
The days slipped by as Shoshana healed quickly. It was a strange time of suspended lives as the harem waited for Shoshana and Alice to heal. Each day they exchanged messages about dreams, hopes and fears.
As the days passed, Beth became the leader of the women. Michael watched it, but did not interfere. Rachael and Shoshana were older, but welcomed the direction. Lynne seemed to have a way to avoid confrontation without hard feelings.
The harem adopted the reverse cowboy position as a staple. Many nights all three of them enjoyed Michael.
Shoshana seemed happier by the day. She could walk around and found she had a flair for jewelry design. Their rings arrived the day before they were to leave.
Two weeks and three days from her operation, Shoshana was cleared for limited travel. She had begun speaking, relearning how to move her tongue. Her voice seemed sultrier than before, but perhaps she was just relearning her tones.
Unfortunately, Alice still could not travel, so plans were delayed by two weeks.
The delay had hidden benefits. Shoshana and Rachael visited her doctors one last time the day before leaving. Unless she suffered some injury, she could have vaginal and anal sex in two weeks and oral sex any time.
Rafaela's cast came off shortly before she and Alice left Mexico for the last time.
Shoshana had changed over the weeks since her operation. She and Lynne had grown closer, sharing their dreams and fantasies. Shoshana had witnessed the transformation in Lynne over the past weeks and knew she wanted the same thing.
Finally the day arrived to begin their odyssey.
When they left, Lynne cried, surprising everyone.
"It's where I first made love," she said simply.
Before they left, Michael gave the transmitter, Alice's laptop and the encrypted machine to Tim. They would either be destroyed or taken to Europe after examination. Michael didn't want anyone to know their location. The downside was that they would be out of contact with Rafaela.
After a short plane ride, the boarded another Escalade. They whisked through the ship's boarding procedure with only carry on baggage. Their luggage was being shipped separately. When they got to their cabin, the closets had clothing suitable for the trip. Their suite had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, for five adults. Michael offered to take the fold out bed that got him an elbow from Beth.
"I'll take the couch," Shoshana volunteered, knowing she did not want to have any sex until she could have it all.
Oddly it was Lynne who went to her, "Sis, you're one of us. How do you think I'll feel when I can't have sex after bearing your child? We'll rotate."
Shoshana did not hear the last part. When she learned she should not try to bear a child, she'd cried for two days. It took Michael most of that time to convince her that being unable to bear children was not the end of the world. Neither Beth nor Rachael could bear his children.
"What did you say, Kiddo?" she whispered, using Lynne's childhood nickname.
Lynne smiled, seeing the pain in Shoshana's eyes, "Look, if the docs get your ovaries restarted, I'll take one of your little fertilized eggs and give you a brat 9 months later," she paused, mischief in her eyes, "But you'll have to take care of it."
Shoshana grabbed her younger sister and engulfed her in a hug, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Remember that when you are sucking my pussy with that pointed tongue, Sis, be gentle." Lynne's laughing eyes.
"I can't wait!" Shoshana's enthusiasm clear.
The first day out of port, they dressed for their dinner in clothes others had purchased. Michael refused to wear a tie, though he put one in his sports jacket pocket if it was required.
His companions were radiant. Rachael oozed class, her hair up, Rafaela's medallion barely touching the cut of dress.
Lynne chose a brilliant, aqua dress, her hair pulled back, clearly showing her flawless, smooth skin. Her confidence grew daily as she realized she was really the center of this little universe. She was the baby factory.
Beth chose a simple black dress, offsetting her blonde beauty.
Shoshana set the standard. Her raven hair flowed over her bare shoulders. Her makeup screamed sensuality! Her breasts strained the clinging, white fabric; her elongated nipples apparent even through her bra. She was excited. She knew she looked beautiful.
"You are all so beautiful," Michael said to the group.
Beth laughed, "Come on Dad, Shosh is the clear winner. She is gorgeous!"
Michael kissed Shoshana's forehead, "Beth's right, you're incredibly beautiful."
Rachael's heart sang as she saw Shoshana's back straighten a little.
Michael took Shoshana's hand and led his harem to dinner.
The days on the ship were fun, but tense. They did not disembark at the other ports, but waited impatiently for Montego Bay.
As they disembarked in Montego Bay, Michael saw a huge man holding a sign with the arranged code name.
The large Land Rovers sped north towards Negril. Michael sat in the second vehicle between Beth and Shoshana, his arms around them both. Rachael and Lynne sat behind them.
The convoy sped along new roads, bypassing "Ganja Bridge." A shame, Michael thought, he remembered a time in another life.
Michael and Beth's mother, Vika, met when he was 17 and she a year younger. Both had demanding sex drives, which made it odd that they waited a month to consummate their relationship. Vika later explained to him that she wanted to wait until she could feel his unsheathed cock in her the first time they made love, so she had to wait until the pill had taken effect.
For two years, they fucked like bunnies. In the process their love and dedication to each other grew. Like everything, though, sex became routine. They married at age 20, Beth being born a year later. After many years of marriage and monogamous sex, they decided to try something new. They went to Hedo II and discovered a new life!
A year later, Vika was dead, Michael thought bitterly.
"What's wrong Michael," Shoshana asked, seeing the pain in his eyes. Her empathic sense was finely tuned to Michael's moods and thoughts. Beth heard and looked at her father.
"Remember the vacation your Mom and I took about a year before she died?" Beth nodded. "We came to Jamaica."
'Shit,' Beth thought, 'If I'd known that, I'd have chosen the DR! Shit.'
"You never talked about that vacation," Beth said, indirectly begging for forgiveness.
"We didn't want you to know. We went to Hedo," he said trying and failing to suppress a smile. "I have lots of good memories from here. I just miss her sometimes."
Lynne and Rachael had leaned forward and were listening.
"You and Mom were swingers?" a surprised Beth blurted.
"Yep. But I've only made love to five women in my life," he turned to look at Shoshana, "soon to be six."
He kissed Shoshana while moving the hand around her shoulders to cup her breast. He could feel her elongated nipples demand release while the pointed tongue explored his mouth.
By silent agreement, Michael, Beth, Rachael and Lynne poured affection and love into Shoshana. She knew it, but reveled in the attention and joy.
Finally they turned onto a dirt road leading to a huge plantation house in the middle of a mown field.
While the guards wrestled with their baggage, Michael led the girls inside.
Rafaela sat outwardly quiet as she saw her new family for the first time. She was dressed in a gaily flowered, sleeveless, blouse and very tight shorts that showed the curve of her ass.
She rose and started slowly, moving to Michael. Her restraint broke. She launched herself into his arms. As she hugged him, she heard, "Group hug!" and felt more arms around her body, breasts pressing against her.
Alice stood to the side, clearly nervous. Beth broke away from the group and strode toward her. Alice recoiled, thinking Beth was going to hit her.
Beth's left arm circled Alice's waist, pulling her close. Her right hand grabbed Alice's hair, bringing Alice's face to her. For a second, Beth looked deep into Alice's eyes. Beth's eyes blazed with lust as her lips found Alice's.
The passionate kiss broke as Beth was pried from Alice.
"My turn." Lynne said seriously.
Rachael next. Then Shoshana.
Michael and Rafaela stood near, watching, smiling.
As Shoshana finished, Rafaela pushed him forward. He approached Alice, searching her eyes. She met him, looking up in question. He put his arm around her and she seemed to melt. He knew this had to be gentle, so he touched her lips with fingertips first, just grazing the sensitive skin. Her lips trembled against his lips when they touched. Her body swayed against him. He caressed her cheek, a sensual, soft touch.
When they broke, her eyes pleading and confused. She still leaned against him.
"Wow! That was intense. I want you to do that to me!" Shoshana gasped.
Lynne started clapping and the others joined in. Michael laughed. Alice blushed. He gave her ass a gentle squeeze and she winced.
As the guards brought in their luggage, Rafaela led them into the large dining room. Three bottles of champagne and a pitcher of orange juice arrived.
While the girls sat at one end of an enormous table, Michael retrieved his briefcase from the living room.
When he returned, the chair at the head of the table waited with Beth and Rafaela flanking him, a flute of Mimosa in front of his seat.
"As our man," Rafaela said, "the first toast is yours."
Michael thought for a moment, stood and said, "To our new family." Six smiling women drank with him.
Michael noticed Lynne's hand on Rafaela's thigh.
Rafaela stood next and toasted, "To my new sisters and my forever man."
Beth next, "To my sisters and the love of my life, my dad." Michael misted a little with that one.
Lynne, "To the harem and its man!"
Rachael, "To our love."
Shoshana, "To our future together."
Finally everyone looked to Alice. She rose a bit unsteady, "To new beginnings!"
Food arrived. Fish and lobster tails, fresh from the sea, vegetables from nearby farms, steak, and shrimp. A fabulous feast.
The table exploded as five people sought answers from Rafaela and Alice. While they had been happy in Charlotte, it had been very boring. Now they wanted to know everything about their new sisters.
Michael put his briefcase on his lap and opened it.
He took out two small ring boxes. Shoshana grabbed them, "Let me tell them."
He gave a faint nod.
"Rafaela and Alice. We know we can't all marry Michael and anyway it wouldn't be legal since we can't use our real names. So we came up with these,' Shoshana held up her right hand to show her ring, and continued, "a commitment ring. We wear it on our left ring finger after we've made love with him and on our right if we're just engaged," she said smiling broadly, "but if you put it on, it's a promise that you will make love to all of us, including Michael." She looked directly at Alice.
Shoshana had been in private communication with Alice, so she knew the answer. Alice just didn't know how to ask Michael.
She handed each their ring. Smiling into Michael's eyes, Rafaela slid the ring on her left ring finger.
Everyone looked at Alice. She locked eyes with Michael, saw the kindness, and slid the ring on her right ring finger.
"Yes!" Lynne exulted with an exaggerated fist pump.
Beth jumped up, ran around the table and threw her arms around Alice whispering in her ear, "Don't go totally hetero on us, we all want to be with you."
Alice giggled.
They finished eating and refreshed their drinks.
"I think there is some other news," Rafaela said first looking around the table to be sure she had everyone's attention before turning to Michael, "I am afraid I cannot have my scars repaired for at least 8 months. It might hurt our baby."
Dead silence, then an explosion of joy from around the table.
'Rape victims react differently to a child, a being they can trust and love absolutely and without fear,' Alice thought. Nor was she immune. She'd just known the news for a few days.
"But I thought…"
The puzzle in his head rearranged. Peter sent him to Mexico without a real reason, except to help Rafaela recover from a horrific rape. BS. He sent me to impregnate his daughter.
Rafaela watched him as his brain worked, a silly smile on her face. He rose and looked down into adoring eyes. He kissed her, a kiss of love.
A very rare bubble of joy surrounded this group of broken birds after all the pain.
Lynne grabbed Shoshana's hand and crooked her head indicating she wanted to speak privately with her older sister.
"Shosh, I know you want to wait until you can give Michael everything, but I'd like all of us to be together tonight. I need you, Sis. Please?"
"So long as I can still give everything to Michael on my first night, I'd love to join. I really want to be with Alice. It's been soooooooo long."
Lynne nodded and as she reentered the room, she called out, "Harem night."
Beth looked out the window, seeing the bright daylight, "Harem day, too."
Rachael explained to Rafaela while Beth explained to Alice.
"Then I have a surprise for you, sisters," Rafaela said, laughter in her voice, as she led them through the house to the master bedroom. Three king beds had been joined along the far wall, with two, separate baths.
"Dibs on first shower," Beth called as she ran to get her bag.
Michael showered, shaved, brushed his teeth and popped a blue pill. He washed it down with champagne. He took one of several silk robes that hung on hooks in the huge bathroom.
Though he knew what was about to happen, he found himself trembling with nervousness.
Rafaela waited for him in the center of the enormous bed, obviously naked under the thin sheet, her dark hair pulled into a ponytail. Her eyes still smoldered with need, but also with a new softness. He slid onto the bed beside her. He levered himself on one elbow, looking into her eyes as he slid his hand beneath the sheet, his palm rubbing circles on her belly.
He slowly leaned over her and placed his lips on hers. Knowing the passion would come later; he tried to pour all his love into the kiss.
Alice entered from the second bathroom, her transformation nothing short of sensational. She wore a thin, black silk robe that dragged a bit on the floor. Her clear blue eyes highlighted by black eyeliner, her lips a sultry red. She wore a long blonde wig.
She smiled at Michael, "My alter ego," she said chuckling. As she climbed on the bed, she explained, "I know I could have you all to myself one night, but I want to give myself to everyone and, honestly, I may need help. After my rape, I never let another man touch me." She giggled, "I do want you to come in my pussy, though."
Slowly she climbed beside him, atop the sheet. As they kissed, he felt Rafaela's hand on his shoulder, gently urging him to Alice. He found her robe tie and untied it, throwing her robe open. Her pale body still showed angry lines where Miguel's belt had opened her flesh. The surgeon said they would fade to nothing, but that took time.
He laid her on her back, levered on his right elbow and opened the robe completely. Her breasts had an enchanting shape, full and firm and topped with pink aureoles and small nipples. Her body showed the effects of lifelong exercise and the care she had taken with her skin. She had a pale landing patch that seemed natural for her.
A gentle knock and Lynne cried, "You started without us! No fair!" She came rushing into the room, threw off her robe and dove onto the bed. "God, Alice, you look incredible…Oh my God!" Up close she could see the red lines, "we'll have to be very gentle with you!"
By now everyone was on the bed. Beth looked at Rafaela still hidden under the sheet,
"Hey Momma, you shy?" Then more kindly, "We've all got scars, Honey."
Rafaela realized this was a moment of commitment. She slipped higher so she could get her legs out from the sheet on which everyone was lying.
Rachael began to slowly caress Rafaela's mutilated breast, tracing the scars with her fingertips, then reached down to gently lick the dark aureole. Rafaela moaned softly, her hand now on the back of Rachael's head, encouraging her to do more. Rachael sucked the little nipple and it grew hard.
Lynne moved between Rafaela's legs,
The aroma of sex began to fill the room.
Michael concentrated on Alice, knowing that she was probably terrified. He could not have been more wrong. For the first time in her life, she trusted a man.
She gently pushed him onto his back, her eyes afire with lust and need. Staring into his eyes "Let me give you my virginities, Michael. I've been waiting far too long."
She lay beside him. A kiss, filled with passion and need, Michael's hands cupping her breast, enticing her little nipples to hardness, his other hand moving toward her ass.
She pulled back, "Don't hold back," she cried fiercely, "Love me."
He let his hand roam her ass, feeling the ridges of healing scars.
Someone pushed his hand away. Shoshana gently parted Alice's legs and then pulled her ass cheeks apart, beginning to caress her puckered starfish with her pointed tongue. Alice's eyes snapped open. She squealed with delight. Shoshana then pushed her up a little so she could slip beneath and had access to Alice's love button.
Alice rose off Michael, placing her hands on his chest as she moaned and closed her eyes feeling incredible pleasure as Shoshana's tongue explored her womanhood. Her breath became ragged. Her head dropped, long blonde hair hiding her face.
Shoshana sucked Alice's clit into her mouth hard and began to trace circles around the engorged little button.
"Oh my God" Over and Over.
Shoshana bit down gently while inserting her thumb into Alice's pussy and a finger into her ass.
Beth had the head of Michael's cock deep in her throat, trying to milk it. Hearing Alice climax, Beth slowly and reluctantly relinquished his cock.
Shortly after Alice came, Rafaela succumbed to Rachael's talented tongue and fingers. Beth donned a robe and left the room for a few minutes, returning with seven glasses, three bottles of champagne and one carton of juice.
They toasted each other silently.
Alice looked at Michael. "Make me a woman."
It was during this period that the group chose new identities. To change names at this point in the story would be confusing and disruptive, so I've chosen to keep the names unchanged.
