Three Weeks to Lose his Virginity Ch. 01byseth_perm©
Spencer couldn't believe it.
His mum had won a holiday to Ibiza from a competition off the back of a box of cornflakes. First, she'd told him she wasn't going to take him, which wasn't such a huge shock. The prize was for two and of course she'd take her boyfriend, that arsehole Roger.
But then, instead of having three weeks on his own, she'd asked her old friend Emma to come and stay to look after him! At the age of eighteen, he didn't need a bloody babysitter! And who the hell was this Emma? He could barely remember her because she'd moved to Dubai with her family ten years ago and Mum had stayed in touch with her by mail so he'd not seen her since.
Ironically, he did have some vague memories of Emma babysitting him when he was a child, after his father had left them. Apparently she'd been a neighbour and got close to his mum despite their age difference; she was probably only ten or so years older than him.
She was in the process of moving back to the UK having divorced her husband and it suited her to have a place to stay for a few weeks and, of course, it suited his mum to curtail any freedom he might have had while she was gone.
It's not like he would have had lots of wild parties. Frankly he didn't really have enough friends to have a party as such. But, like any other healthy eighteen year old boy, he'd been looking forward to having the run of the house. Going out whenever he wanted to. Drinking perhaps. And of course watching mountains of porn.
But now here he was, waiting at Waterloo station, for the person who was going to make the next three weeks hell rather than the potential heaven it could have been. He knew for a fact Mum had talked to Emma about the long list of rules to which he had to adhere.
The only upside might be that he had an indistinct memory that Emma had been a good-looking girl. Of course at eight, he'd not really understood such things, but, if she were still as hot as he thought she might be, at least he would be able to secretly ogle her while she was here.
"Spencer, is that you?"
Spencer turned to face his oppressor and stopped dead. And then he began to blush, as he did in the presence of any attractive woman. Or in this case in the presence of a very attractive woman indeed.
She was tall, almost as tall as him, with a wide knowing smile and big dark eyes. Her lipstick was a shocking red and she was wearing a blue fitted cardigan and jeans. Her shiny dark brown hair was shoulder-length and her figure was perfect: long lithe legs and, most exciting of all, breasts that were almost too large for her slender body.
Not that Spencer was in any way fussy. As an eighteen year old virgin who had never even had a sniff of a snog, he couldn't afford to be. But he'd decided he was definitely a breast man. While masturbating he would always time his ejaculation to the sight of a big-bosomed centrefold or a busty porn star taking it at both ends.
Which explained why the sight of Emma's slightly tanned and extremely impressive cleavage had instantly given him a hard-on. He desperately hoped she wouldn't notice.
"Hello, Emma," he mumbled.
"Spencer! Wow, I know it sounds stupid but you've really grown. Look at you!" Emma replied happily. "Come here!" she smiled as she stepped forward for a hug.
Spencer awkwardly allowed her hold him, trying to keep his crotch from pressing revealingly into her. Her hair smelt fresh and her breasts felt substantial and firm against his chest. With a slight groan at his loss of control, he stopped holding his hips back and allowed his erection to briefly push against her tummy.
She must have noticed but didn't react beyond a slight twitch of one of her eyebrows.
"I can't believe how much you've changed," she commented as he pulled her suitcase along en route to the taxi rank. "It only feels like yesterday when I was wrestling with you on your mum's sofa!"
The thought of wrestling with Emma almost caused Spencer to groan involuntarily again. But he felt embarrassed too. His mum always said what a gorgeous little boy he'd been, usually when she having a go at him for the way he now dressed or for not washing properly. He knew he didn't cut an attractive figure, slightly overweight with greasy black hair and a faceful of zits. He also dressed exclusively in dark heavy goth-like clothing but this was all a way of hiding from the real world and particularly from the very girls with whom he was sexually obsessed. He was sure Emma would be remembering that handsome young boy and was disgusted by the ugly teenager he'd become.
Hence despite Emma's friendliness, he was brusque, almost surly in his responses to her questions as they travelled home. By the time they got back to the house, he was utterly in love yet at the same time angry with her for being so nice to him. She had obviously sensed his mood as she had stopped trying to engage him in conversation.
At the house, he showed Emma to his mum's bedroom which she'd be using for her stay.
"I know it's pretty early but I'm still jet lagged so I'm going to skip supper and go and have a bath and get to bed, Spencer," she said. "You've got school tomorrow so please don't stay up too late," she added.
Spencer could have kicked himself. He was going to spend three whole weeks, with the most gorgeous woman he'd ever met in his life and he'd already pissed her off by being a petulant twat.
He made his way downstairs to the kitchen to have something to eat before settling down in front of the TV, his erection still uncomfortable in his black jeans. He decided to wait until she was asleep before having a wank.
He could hear her moving around in the bathroom upstairs and rubbed his cock through his trousers at the thought of her having a bath. He imagined her big breasts floating in the foam; he imagined her towelling her gorgeous body dry; he imagined her rubbing moisturiser into her long sexy legs. Oh shit, she was so beautiful.
At last he heard the creaks of his mum's bed as she got in and, not long afterwards, the sound of her turning off the lamp.
He waited another few impatient minutes before slipping up to his room to get a porn DVD and an old pair of underpants to mop up any mess. On the way back down, he paused outside her bedroom door. Nothing. She was fast asleep.
Back in the living room, he turned on the TV and forwarded the DVD to his favourite scene where two stunning models give a blowjob to a ridiculously lucky photographer. He'd not realised it before but the girl on the left didn't look too dissimilar to Emma. She had black hair but her body was just as lovely although her breasts were even larger, artificially so, he guessed.
At last he pulled out his cock and began to masturbate, imagining that he was getting a two-girl blowjob from Emma and a pretty blonde, such as Suzy Simpson from his class.
He was just beginning to speed up, knowing he wouldn't be able to last much longer, when he got the shock of his life.
He grabbed the underpants and covered himself reflexively as he turned to see Emma standing behind the sofa wearing a white silky gown. She appeared more amused than horrified as she looked up from Spencer's cock to see the blonde on screen swallow a huge penis like it was a lolly.
"Oh shit," he moaned, mortified at being caught and desperately trying to put his dick away. "I'm so sorry."
She smiled as she walked past him to go to the kitchen. "Don't worry!" she giggled. "You're a teenage boy. I'd be amazed if you weren't wanking at least once a day. Don't stop on my account! I only wanted a glass of water."
Spencer didn't know what to do. He'd expected her to be upset. But she seemed to think it was funny. He was trying to remember whether he'd been murmuring her name when she'd walked in. Oh no, how embarrassing. What if she told his mum?
But she'd just looked at the porn like it was the latest Disney cartoon. And she'd actually encouraged him to continue having a wank.
She popped her head around the corner. "Spencer would you like a beer?"
"What! Um, well, I'm not supposed to have one. They're Roger's," he replied in confusion, referring to his mum's boyfriend.
"Don't worry; we'll replace them before they get back." After his amazed pause, she added, "Well, would you like one?"
"Um, yeah, sure, I mean, yes please."
She popped back into the kitchen but was back almost immediately with two cans of beer.
"I think I'll have one too. Budge up then," she ordered as she sat down to his right.
As he took the beer, he realised the underpants were on the floor and his cock was still sticking out of his jeans. He was holding the DVD remote in his left hand and the can of beer in his right.
"I know your mum gave me a big list of things you can't do but, the way I see it, what she doesn't know won't bother her. I spent years looking after you and I've still got a big soft spot for you. I noticed you had a big hard spot for me at the station!" she said nodding at his hard penis.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..." he began.
"Don't worry; it's really flattering that I had that effect on you! I know I must seem like an old lady to you but I'd like to be your friend, Spencer."
"Oh, no Emma. You're the most gorgeous woman ever!" he replied vehemently.
"Really? What about all the pretty young things at your school? Aren't they much more beautiful than me?" she teased.
"Oh, no. Really, I've never met anyone as beautiful as you."
"Spencer, you're a gentleman. That's a lovely thing to say. Thanks," she said.
After a pause she added, "Go on then, keep going, you're missing a good bit," gesturing to the screen on which the man was now fucking his dark-haired co-star up her arse while the blonde lay underneath them licking his balls.
His cock twitched. Breathing heavily he moved his hand towards it before realising he was still holding the beer.
"Here," Emma said, "Let me do that for you."
He held out the beer for her but she just laughed. "No, silly. Not that. This," she added as her cool right hand gently clasped his hot aching erection.
"Ohhhh," Spencer moaned in disbelief as she began to slowly and gently masturbate him. He noticed that the varnish on her perfectly manicured nails matched her lipstick.
"Maybe I should take that beer after all," Emma suggested as he almost dropped it. "Don't worry I won't stop!" she said as she took it from him.
"Oh, Emma," Spencer murmured inarticulately.
"You know it's funny," she said. "The number of times I saw your cock when you were a boy in the bath or while you were getting changed. I never thought that one day I'd be wanking it and that it would grow into such a big one."
"Really?" Spencer was surprised.
"Oh, yes, darling. You're not small at all. I've seen a lot of cocks and yours is one of the biggest."
"Wow, thanks!" he exclaimed.
"Pay attention to the screen. Look, that blonde one's licking his cock again, after it's been up the other one's bum as well. What a dirty slut!"
Listening to Emma talk so explicitly, Spencer desperately bucked his hips trying to get her to move her hand faster but she let go of him.
"Ah, ah, ah!" she warned musically. "Slow down, lover." Bewitched, he nodded and she started again.
"So which one do you prefer - the blonde or the dark one, Spencer?"
"The dark one," he replied as they watched her lick her colleague's pussy.
"Why her? Isn't the blonde one prettier?" Her voice was honeyed and smooth. And highly seductive.
"I love her boobs," he grunted in reply.
"Oh, you like big boobs then? Even unnatural ones like hers? They wouldn't feel very nice, I think." Emma was smiling her worldly smile again.
"I don't know. I've never touched anyone's boobs. They just look so lovely," he was almost hysterical in his need to come now but Emma just kept slowly stroking him, keeping him expertly on the edge of orgasm.
"Really? You've never touched breasts before? You poor thing." She licked her lips. "Would you like to touch mine?"
Spencer hadn't realised he could be any more excited than he already was. But as he nodded wordlessly and Emma let go of his cock to unhurriedly open her gown from the waist up, he began to understand just how much further there was to go.
He watched entranced as, first, the light brown slopes of her upper breasts came into view. Then, she carefully pulled down her gown until the very tops of her chocolate brown aureoles peeped over the white silk.
Finally he moaned with lust as she pulled it open all the way exposing her stiff dark nipples and the weighty underside of her large yet firm breasts. They were golden and lightly tanned like her face.
"You can touch them, Spencer," Emma breathed as she reached out to masturbate him again.
He reached out and allowed her bullet-hard nipples to touch the palms of his hands teasingly before grabbing hold of her boobs and squeezing powerfully.
"Spencer! I know you're excited, sweetie, but more gently please," she exclaimed. "Yes that's better, there's no hurry you've got plenty of time over the next few weeks to touch them," she added as he began to more tenderly fondle her considerable bosom.
"They're so soft but at the same time so firm, I mean they don't sag at all," he expressed in wonder.
"Thank you, Spencer."
"No really, thank you, Emma. I mean I can't believe you're giving me a handjob!"
"It's fine, darling. You can't walk around with an erection all the time. It can't be very comfortable and I'm sure it's not good for you to repress all that sexual tension. Do you get hard when you're talking to the girls at school?" Emma asked.
"Sometimes," he nodded. "Although I hardly ever talk to any girls. Please, Emma, can I come now?"
"Be patient, lover," she gently chided although she did start to speed up her hand perhaps realising that he wasn't going to explode immediately. "I'll make you a deal, Spencer. Over the next few weeks I'll do my best to help you become more confident with girls with the aim of maybe finding a girl at school who could do this for you."
"Oh, Emma. That would be great," he said. "But you'll do this again for me? Please?" he added, secretly thinking that the odds were low that anyone else would ever do this.
"Spencer, I promise that I'll give you relief if you have an erection in my presence. After all, it really isn't a hassle for me to just move my hand up and down on your cock for a few minutes while you play with my tits. And how could I not do it when it gives you so much pleasure," she said fondly. "But I'm serious about getting you into shape to find someone else to do this for you. I'm only here for three weeks and I'd hate for you to go without after I'm gone."
"OK, OK, anything you want. Please just a little quicker - I'm so close," he pleaded.
"You have to promise to do everything I say though. Promise?"
"Yes, oh, yes. I promise. I promise," he shrieked.
"OK then. You can come on my boobs." And with that Emma knelt in front of him and began to masturbate him properly for the first time while her left hand cupped his heavy testicles.
Within seconds he began repeatedly shooting strings of sticky cum all over her considerable boobs, while shouting in pleasure.
"Gosh, Spencer!" Emma exclaimed. "What a lot of spunk. My poor boobs are absolutely covered. I think I might need another bath."
Spencer collapsed back on the sofa, marvelling at what had just happened. Surely this must be a dream? Things like this just didn't happen to boys like him.
The next morning Spencer woke, as he did most mornings, with an erection. He began to masturbate languorously before stopping wide-eyed, recalling the previous evening. Had it been a dream? Had he really come over Emma's breasts the night before?
He remembered walking upstairs with her, unable to take his eyes from her spunky tits, while she insisted that they go to their separate bedrooms despite his begging her to masturbate him again.
If it hadn't been a dream then he also remembered her promising to 'sort him out' in the morning before he went to school. In which case...
He jumped out of bed in excitement, his cock poking out through his pyjama fly.
There was a knock on the door and Emma walked in, already dressed in t-shirt and jeans. "Come on, you're going to be late," she said as she pulled open the curtains.
As light flooded the room, Spencer realised that if it had just been a dream then it probably wasn't a great idea to be standing open-mouthed in the middle of his room with his cock sticking out.
But by this time Emma had already turned around and seen his erection.
"Well, I suppose that's no surprise," she said as she grabbed hold of his cock and led back him to the bed. "OK, I'm going to do you quickly now because I want you to have a shower before you go to school and we haven't got much time," she added as she began to toss him off again. "But I really want you to learn to control yourself so, when you do manage to find yourself a girl, you can show her a good time. Is that OK?"
"Oh, fuck, yes, Emma!" he gasped as her hand sped up and down his dick. He reached out and began manhandling her breasts through her t-shirt and bra.
"And I mean what I said about the shower. You won't get a girl if you're not clean. You really do whiff a bit. Although that's no surprise. It smells disgusting in here too. While you're at school, I'll clean your room."
"Oh, shit, that feels so good, Emma. Um, about the room..." he began.
"Don't worry. I'll treat your porn sensitively," she added, smiling at his concerned expression.
He slid his hand under her t-shirt to continue pawing at her breasts.
"Careful, dear. That bra is delicate and expensive. I need to teach you to be a bit more gentle as well as patient, I think." Her hand began to blur on his cock as she increased her pace once again.
"Here it comes!" Emma declared as, with a triumphant groan, Spencer came copiously over her hands and over his bedding.
After making sure he was fully drained, Emma added, "Right go and have that shower, darling. I'll find some half-decent clothes for you to wear."
Spencer was fantasising about Emma. He was imagining her licking and sucking his cock, hungrily begging for him to come in her mouth. The thought of those soft red lips sliding up and down his rigid pole and those dark perceptive eyes, gazing up at him while she smiled around a mouthful of his cock, had him rock hard again.
Which, he realised as the school bell rang, was a bit of a problem as he was in a class and everyone around him was leaving.
Emma had dressed him very differently in a white t-shirt and blue jeans and he'd already had a few comments at school today, all of them surprisingly positive. She'd also promised to take him shopping for more clothes as well as a proper haircut that weekend. She'd also tantalisingly hinted that, if he were clean, she might consider using more than her hands on him that evening; hence the flavour of his fantasy today.
He smiled once more at the thought of her hot sucking mouth. He heard a giggle and realised he was staring at Suzy Simpson and that she was smiling back, although he couldn't tell whether she was laughing at him or whether she was being uncharacteristically friendly.
Suzy was stunning, with a statuesque and curvaceous figure, a surprisingly sweet pretty face and spiky blonde hair. She was popular with everyone at school, slightly rebellious but still academically able and the favourite object of Spencer's fantasies before Emma had arrived. And she'd had several boyfriends and was rumoured to have gone all the way with them.
Suzy and two of her friends walked away, still giggling, with a few glances back over their shoulders. He realised they weren't just looking at his face and worked out that the lump in his trousers was more than obvious.

Teacher avoids jail for fling with 'vulnerable' schoolboy
A MARRIED teacher who had an affair with one of her pupils has been spared jail after the boy called for leniency.
Mother-of-three Bernadette Smith, 35, lost her job and reputation after falling for "vulnerable" 16-year-old Gary Ralston in class, a court was told.
But there was no suggestion that the teenager, who has waived his right to anonymity, suffered any long-term harm.
Sheriff Wyllie Robertson told Smith, who kissed Gary and lay on a bed beside him wearing only jeans and a bra, that she had committed a serious abuse of trust.
Smith, who left Stirling Sheriff Court smiling, was placed under supervision for two years as part of a community payback order.
The former Bannockburn High School history teacher will remain on the sex offenders register for the same period.
Smith, of Denny, earlier admitted engaging in sexual activity with the boy while in a position of trust.
The offences took place between September 13 and 20 at Gary's home in Cowie, Stirlingshire, and Callendar Park in Falkirk.
Sheriff Robertson told Smith that it may have been that her marital difficulties had contributed to her "aberration".
But he said many other teachers coped with relationship problems without resorting to a "bizarre course of behaviour".
"You have lost your reputation, your job and your career, and your marriage is at an end," he added.
Police were called in and discovered Smith had texted a colleague saying she was leaving husband Brian
"You have caused distress to your immediate family, and with the media attention that this case has attracted, I suspect that your humiliation is complete.
"I have no material before me that suggests there is any long-standing adverse impact on the victim.
"Notwithstanding the breach of trust and gravity, it is not necessary to impose a prison sentence."
He ordered Smith to return to court on November 12 for a supervision order review.
Andrew Gibb, defending, said Smith was currently suspended by the General Teaching Council for Scotland and would be struck off in a few weeks' time.
Depute fiscal Ann Orr, prosecuting, said Smith had originally denied that any physical contact had taken place when questioned by Bannockburn headmaster Tom Black.
But when he interviewed the boy, he confirmed the pair had kissed.
Police were called in and discovered Smith had texted a colleague saying she was leaving husband Brian, 35, and "had never got over that he had previously been unfaithful".
Smith also wrote that she had "fallen in love with a pupil".
Earlier this month, Gary, now 17, and his father, Richard, 42, pleaded for Smith to be given a lenient sentence.
Gary said last night: "I think the judge was fair. She didn't deserve jail for what she did. I don't bother about it any more."

SEOUL - South Korea and the United States are close to agreement on more than doubling the range of Seoul's ballistic missiles to better guard against threats from North Korea, a report said on Sunday.
Yonhap news agency said the two allies were close to agreeing on expanding Seoul's missile range to 800 kilometres (500 miles) - enough to cover the entire North - from the current 300 kilometres, citing diplomatic sources.
The United States stations 28,500 troops in South Korea and guarantees a nuclear "umbrella" in case of any atomic attack. In return, Seoul accepts limits on its missile capabilities.
"Agreements have been reached on major issues," said a Seoul source quoted by Yonhap. Another source said the two nations were only "hammering out details" on the deal to expand the range previously agreed in 2001.
The new limit on the missile range will likely be announced next month, Yonhap added. Seoul's defence ministry spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
President Lee Myung-Bak said in March the North's missiles could reach the southern island of Jeju, more than 400 kilometres south of the border, and stressed that Seoul needed a "realistic adjustment" to its own missile range.
The need to strengthen Seoul's missile capability took on new urgency after the impoverished but nuclear-armed North's latest long-range rocket launch in April, which rattled Pyongyang's neighbours but ended in failure.
Pyongyang insisted its aim was only to put a satellite into orbit but the United States and its allies saw it as a disguised long-range missile test banned under UN resolutions.
The two Koreas have remained technically at war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
The South believes the North has 1,000 missiles of various types, many of them targeted at Seoul or other locations in the South.

75. William4 Bunting (Solomon3, Holloway2, William1) was born in Northampton Co., VA September 14, 1752. (Family Bible) William died October, 1819 in Philadelphia, PA, at 67 years of age.
He married twice. He married Widow Forbes. Widow died before 1808. He married Elisabeth Seaman. Elisabeth was the daughter of Samuel Seaman and Mary Birdsall. Elizabeth's family lived at Jerusalem, Long Island, NY. (Carolyn Seaman) William was on board a vessel owned by his father and others laden with Peach Brandy and other goods and bound for Norfolk, when it was seized by a British 'Man of War.' All on board were taken to Long Island waters, near New York. On the passage, every effort was made to induce the men to enlist in 'King George's service.' Those who refused were mistreated and transferred to prison ships. William suffered physical injuries but told them "they might cut him up in pound pieces, and half pound pieces, but he would never lift his hand gainst his country." The good will of an old doctor saved his life. His name was put on the death list and after being carried out for burial, the doctor arranged for his escape. (letter written by William's daughter, Jane Jackson)
William made his way to New York, where he found employment apportioning rations. After the war, he keep the accounts and superintendedand paid the workmen repairing the city. He went on to become a distiller in New York and prospered.
He would return to the shore when he could to tend to his family business and visit his brothers and sisters. In 1819, he left for Virginia on the "Andrea." Sick with typhoid fever, William died on their arrival at Philadelphia and was buried at the Swedish Burial Ground in the city. Not arriving in Virginia, it took his family nearly three months to learn of his death. His trunk went on to Virginia and the family was able to recover it. This trunk contained papers necessary for the settlement of his estate, plus clothing and $90. Letters from his father and other family members were in that trunk, and it is from these that the history of William Bunting was preserved by Mary Elizabeth Seaman and recorded in "Buntings of Virginia."
William Bunting and Elisabeth Seaman had the following children:
+ 162 i. Ann Maria5 Bunting was born December 21, 1808.
163 ii. Jane Elizabeth Bunting was born in Jerusalem, Long Island, NY September 19, 1811. Jane died May 28, 1896 in Wantagh, Long Island, NY, at 84 years of age. The Family Bible shows the year of her death as 1897. She married Noah Jackson. (family records prepared by Mary Elisabeth Seaman)
164 iii. Solomon Bunting was born in NY March 28, 1813. Solomon died March 21, 1883 at 69 years of age. He married three times. He married Margaret Nichols. He married Charity Maria Smith. He married Sarah Smith. (family records prepared by Mary Elisabeth Seaman)
165 iv. Jemima Bunting was born in NY September 6, 1815. Jemima died April 29, 1816 at less than one year of age. (family records prepared by Mary Elisabeth Seaman)
+ 166 v. William Bunting(Jr.) was born January 14, 1817.

Cambodia is a country in Asia with a population of over fourteen millions. 95 % of the population practices Theravada Buddhism as their official religion. The political and cultural center of Cambodia is in its largest city and capital city Phnom Penh. The head of government is Hun Sen, who is currently the longest serving non-royal leader in South East Asia and has ruled Cambodia for over 25 years.
There is a good environment, so the life expectancy is around 72 years. Health care is offered by both public and private practitioners and research has found that trust in health providers is a key factor in improving the uptake of health care services in rural Cambodia. Cambodian culture includes more than 20 culturally distinct hill tribes colloquially known as the Khemer Loeu.
The Cambodian education system is heavily decentralized, with three levels of government, central, provincial and district responsible for its management. The education in Cambodia involves basic literature, the foundation of religion and skills for daily life like carpentry, artistry, craftwork, constructing and playing instruments.

Thirteen Moons
A little over a year ago I was beginning my first Vipassana meditation retreat on the evening of a full moon. On today's full moon, I'm going to start level 1 of Ananda's meditation class series. I like the symmetry of that.

|XXNoraJeanXX's Biography:
|Some words from XXNoraJeanXX:
No one has any right to steal and publish any of my writing in sections or in entirety. Anyone I find doing so I will pursue legal action.
Currently working on a second part to Captivating Sin. I write as a hobby. I have never had and will never have any incest relations. I write fiction. Filthy, taboo, guilty-pleasure fiction. Umm on a side note: I don't exist for you to email me about having sexual relations with your family members at young ages. This disturbs me and I would prefer you didn't share these things with me. Thank you.
Also, don't email me and demand nude photos. This won't happen. I am here to write and share. Not to expose my body to you.
I welcome your comments both good and bad on the stories where everyone can read them. I will leave them (even the mean ones). You may say whatever you wish about me and my work. However, what I won't do is become upset by mean or negative comments left anonymously or childishly. I can't take such seriously. Constructive criticism is more than welcome and will be heard and taken to heart.
An observation I have made...when I get truly nasty comments on my stories (almost always made anonymously of course) they always tend to be on stories where I have included a male/male gay theme. Makes me wonder if it's all homophobic people leaving said comments. Food for thought. And with that thought I always imagine them jacking (I think most are males) or jilling off furiously to the story before feeling ashamed and leaving a nasty comment to make themselves feel better. :D
In light of recent Lit Events I am extending a challenge to the homophobic readers. Please show me some rules and regulations for Lit where it states that the Incest and Taboo category can only have heterosexual incest and taboo sex stories. If you can link this to me I will gladly move my stories to the gay male category and post accordingly from now on. :D
Thank you for reading. xo

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom declared his candidacy today for the California Lieutenant Governor race, and "proudly accepted the endorsement of State Senate Majority Leader Dean Florez who… has decided to withdraw from the race and pledge his full, immediate support to Mayor Newsom."
Newsom, who ran a short-lived campaign for the 2010 gubernatorial race, has also been endorsed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Assembly Speaker John Perez, State Senate President Darrell Steinberg, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, and dozens of other state Democratic leaders. Newsom, a fourth generation Californian, has been San Francisco mayor since 2003.
Declared Newsom, "The issues I fought for when I ran for Governor last year haven't changed: our state still faces a massive budget crisis, painful unemployment, and rising student fees that threaten the stability and accessibility of our University system.
"Too many Californians lack access to quality health care and too many schools are overcrowded and underfunded. But, despite our challenges, I will always believe in California – the dynamism of its past and the promise of its future."
Dean Florez wrote to his supporters this morning , "As much as I want to be Lieutenant Governor, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's entry into this contest has dramatically altered the dynamics of the race. I've studied the numbers, looked at the possibilities, and considered all the relevant polling information which indicates that he commands a formidable lead that would be hard to surmount… Make no mistake, I want to see our party succeed in the upcoming election."
Opposing Newsom in the June 8, 2010 primary is Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn, daughter of the late, legendary Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn and sister of former Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn. Hahn was first elected to the Los Angeles City Council in 2001, and reelected in 2005 and 2009.
Given the nasty tone of an email about Newsom sent out today by the Janice Hahn Lieutenant Governor 2010 Committee, TheLiberalOC.com surmises that she, unlike State Senate Majority Leader Dean Florez, won't be dropping out anytime soon!

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) May 1, 2008
Caspio, Inc., provider of the leading web-based point-and-click platform for creating web applications, today announced that the Newspaper Network of Central Ohio (NNCO) was awarded first place in the annual Associated Press Society of Ohio competition for its voter guide developed by Caspio. The NNCO utilized Caspio's application platform and development services to launch a hyper-local online application for its 2007 General Election coverage, and was presented with top honors in the Division IV "Best of Community Service" category at Sunday's APSO annual convention.
"This recognition is just further affirmation of our readers' positive comments on the voter guide databases we've published for our last two elections," said Michael Shearer, NNCO Online & Audience Development Editor. "It's a great way to collect deep information on candidates' positions and make it available to readers 24/7."
The turnkey application, which also produced content for print editions, provided an automated system for the NNCO to invite candidates to enter their personal biographies, upload photos, address key campaign issues, and answer specific questions posed by the newspapers. Web site users can review and select their preferred candidates and ballot initiatives, plus print a personalized ballot to take to the election polls.
The contest drew 3,215 entries from seventy-one daily newspapers in Ohio. Said one judge about the project, "Multimedia, databases and search function should serve as model for news organizations searching for ways to provide context, serve readers and remain relevant."
In addition to the first place honor at the ASPO convention, the NNCO newspapers also took third place for "Outstanding Achievement in Innovation" earlier this month in its company's "Best of Gannett" competition.
"The NNCO had the idea to bring together the 10 markets, find the right tool, and work with the vendor to determine how the database should work," stated a Best of Gannett judge. "The database allows for customization for each race. More than 500 candidates in contests participated."
"Offering online readers the opportunity to become informed voters reinforces the value of community journalism while also boosting advertising revenues for the newspapers," said David A. Milliron, Caspio's Vice President of Media Services. "Caspio is proud of the joint effort that made the voter guide a huge success for Gannett's consortium of 10 Ohio community newspapers."

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Miriam Makeba has a long and dramatic career behind her, both as a singer and human rights campaigner. She was the first vocalist to put African music onto the international map in the 1960s.
She began to sing professionally as far back as 1950 with the Cuban Brothers, and became known across the land with the jazz group Manhattan Brothers, who toured South Africa, the former Rhodesia and Congo up until 1957. She went on to join the female vocal group, Skylarks, and sang on their disk. In 1959 Miriam Makeba took on the female lead in the musical "King Kong", about a boxer who kills his sweetheart and later dies in prison. The musical, publicised as a "jazz opera", was a big success in South Africa. To avoid the racist apartheid laws that divided the public, the musical was often performed in universities. That year an American film director, Lionel Togosin, made a documentary film from South Africa on which Miriam Makeba collaborated, and wanted her to present the film at the Venice Festival. Makeba accepted the job and got into hot water with the South African authorities that railed against the negative attention they received through the presentation of the film. While in Italy, Miriam Makeba decided not to return to South Africa where she got little or nothing in terms of payment for her performances. This resulted in the South African government revoking her passport and denying her the possibility of ever returning to her homeland. Miriam took up refuge in London after the festival and met Harry Belafonte, who helped her to emigrate to the USA. There she built up her career again. She was the first black musician to leave South Africa on account of apartheid, and over the years many others would follow her example.
In America Miriam Makeba had several hits on the 1960s, among them "Pata Pata", "The Clique Song", and the Tanzanian "Malaika", remaining an active opponent of the apartheid regime in her own country. Also, in the USA there was a civil rights movement growing in the 1960s. Miriam Makeba was for some years married to trumpet player and colleague Hugh Masekela, but split from him and in 1968 wed a leader of the black power movement, Stokely Carmichael. This was too much for some of her conservative, white audiences in the USA and she was in trouble with the American authorities. She found support in Nina Simone and others, yet went into exile in Guinea, Africa. She managed to find work outside the USA, and toured Europe, South America and Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. During those years she often appeared at jazz festivals such as the Montreux and Berlin. In 1987 she participated in Paul Simon's Graceland project, defending it even though it officially went against the cultural boycott of South Africa.
Miriam Makeba is African music's first and foremost world star. She is a pioneer who played her early songs and blended different styles long before anyone even began to talk about "world music". Her disk production is spread across many companies all over the world – so far and wide that it's difficult to get a panoramic view of it. But no collection of African music should be without one or more of Miriam Makeba's recordings.

As freaking annoying as it is that the Sophos UTM, a security appliance, doesn't pass a PCI compliance scan, what's worse is that the process for disabling TLSv1 for sites running behind the Sophos WAF is not documented anywhere currently that I can find.
So, in an effort to help the community at large, I decided to docuemnet how I fixed it.
First, I was able to find excellent docuemnetation by a community member on how to disable TLSv1 for the Sophos Admin interface:
This is helpful, but I also needed to know how to disable TLSv1 for sites that run behind the Sophos WAF.
After (a lot) of digging, I found that the sites running behind the Sophos WAF do so through the Sophos Service "reverseproxy". This is the service we need to edit to remove TLSv1 support.
The above documentation talks about hwo to go about logging into the command line on a Sophos UTM9, so I won't repeat it. Once you're logged in, you'll need to run the following commands:
sudo vim /var/storage/chroot-reverseproxy/usr/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Update these to lines:
SSLCipherSuite ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+3DES:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS #SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
to this
SSLCipherSuite ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:RSA+AES:!ADH:!AECDH:!MD5:!DSS:!3DES SSLProtocol +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2
The restart the 'reverseproxy" service with the following command:
sudo /var/mdw/scripts/reverseproxy restart
Check that you can no longer acccess your site using TLSv1 with the following command (updating it with your own domain name):
openssl s_client -connect utdream.org:443 -tls1
You'll get a handshake failed error if TLSv1 has been properly disabled:
SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 0 bytes

Artist Info
Pattern, color and light have propelled Benzle's creative process and fascination with porcelain clay. An early encounter with the "eggshell" wares of Asia encouraged him to test the limits of his materials, and to integrate chance occurrences into his creative process. This also opened the door to a celebration of the Kintsugi repair practice, of an understanding that those limits are the nexus of a personal pursuit of perfection and porcelain's eventual submission to the molecular strain of extreme temperature and quartz inversion.
Curtis Benzle graduated with a BFA from the Ohio State University in 1972, and received his Masters from Northern Illinois University in 1978. His work is included in many major museums and collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the White House Collection of Contemporary Crafts. Benzle is Professor Emeritus at the Columbus College of Art and Design, and currently lives and works in Huntsville, AL.
" Elegant and graceful, Curtis Benzle's sculptures gently echo the natural world. Functioning as an experience of nature rather than a reproduction of it, his work pares down landscape to its essence. In Benzle's words, he hopes to reveal "the emotional content of a moment instead of a specific visual representation." With rich color and layered patterning, he unites inner with outer, light with shadow, and simplicity with complexity
Benzle's desire is to construct objects that are emotionally positive and beautiful. Strangely enough, that goal is a bit dangerous. While society may find value in objects deemed beautiful, the art world can be dismissive. Yet, it remains at the heart of Benzle's aesthetic drive. His desire is "to give form to feeling." Through pattern, color, and light, he taps into what he deems "fundamental life forces." By their very nature, such forces have in them an element of beauty.
Curtis Benzle received his B.F.A. from the Ohio State University in 1972 and his MA from Northern Illinois University in 1978. He is Professor Emeritus at the Columbus College of Art and Design (Columbus, OH), while maintaining his studio in Huntsville. Curtis Benzle is represented in major museums and collections around the world, including the Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the White House Collection. His signature works are translucent, porcelain sculptural vessels. " (Excerpted from an article by Chris Yates for "Clay Art International")

Is Justin Bieber Turning Into a Celeb Brat?
Tarnished. That's what's becoming of Justin Bieber's once pristine reputation. The 17-year-old singer has engaged in a rash of bad behaviors lately, which FOX News detailed, begging the question whether or not the formerly squeaky clean Biebs is turning into a celeb brat. Is The Biebs a big time terror or just a boy being a boy?
We reported on how The Biebs' 'CSI' co-star Marg Helgenberger referred to him as a brat while his also clean cut girlfriend Selena Gomez is said to be a bit unhappy with The Biebs' boys and bros, like Chris Brown. Bieber was also all braggadocio in his delivery on Brown's mixtape track -- which surprised some of us.
FOX411's Pop Tarts reports that on a recent flight to Asia, from Los Angeles, The Biebs got his brat on too.
Eyewitnesses -- and you all know how reliable those can be -- claimed The Biebs was not cooperating with flight staff when they asked him to take his seat in preparation for takeoff.
"He then gave the staff a really hard time the whole flight, nobody could believe it," said the source. "And then at the end, the Captain introduced himself to Justin and kindly asked for an autograph, and he rudely refused." The Biebs refused an autograph? That doesn't sound like him. Reps for American Airlines and the 'Baby' singer did not respond to requests for comment.
Also, you may remember that David Koch, the host of Australian breakfast TV show 'Sunrise,' said that Bieber had a bad attitude and performed poorly during his appearance. Koch also said that the singer scolded the floor manager who was attempting to direct him on where to perform, screaming "Don't ever f---ing touch me again." Oi.
"I thought, 'Maybe someone needs to drag you aside and give you a bit of a slap,'" Koch continued.
Bieber later defended himself against the allegations, tweeting: "hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess. But all I have to say is … Kill em with kindness. So everyone keeps smiling."
FOX also reports that the Biebs snubbed a fan who waited for him at a Philippines airport but he tweeted that he was sick and that's why he did not approach the fan.
Oh Biebs, your PR team needs to go into damage control mode, stat. You don't want this to get any worse.

Former Gov. Edwin Edwards has been released from federal prison and moved to a halfway house, after serving eight years for a corruption conviction.
The four-term former governor arrived in Baton Rouge on Thursday morning after leaving the Oakdale prison. The 83-year-old Democrat is assigned to a halfway house for six months, until July.
Edwards went to jail in October 2002 on a 10-year sentence for a bribery and extortion scheme to rig Louisiana's riverboat casino licensing process during his final term in office. He has maintained his innocence.
Edwards was brought to the halfway house by his daughter, Anna. He was wearing a gray sweat shirt and cap.
Asked it how it felt to be out of prison, Edwards said "I don't know yet" and refused to say anything else as he went inside.
Anna Edward said he was ecstatic to have her father out of prison.
"He promised me eight years ago that he would walk out. He kept it. He walked out," she said.
She said he was in good health and she didn't know if her father would be required to stay in the halfway house or be granted home confinement.

New Delhi: Top Indian shooter Sanjeev Rajput on Sunday found his rifle broken while flying back home after participating in the ISSF World Cup finals in Poland.
Rajput found that the butt of his rifle was broken into two pieces when he landed at the New Delhi International Airport in an Air Lufthansa flight from Munich.
Rajput, who has already qualified for the 2012 London Olympics in 50m Air Rifle event, blamed the Lufthansa Airlines staff for the damage to his rifle alustock.
"I was coming back from the World Cup finals at Wroclaw in Poland from September 17-23. But to my horror when I landed here I found the alustock of my rifle broken into two pieces. I blame the Airlines staff for this. They mishandled my weapon," Rajput said.
He rued that he will have to use a new rifle and it could impact on his performance.
"I have been practising with this rifle for so long and now I have to change my weapon. I have to start with a new rifle and it will affect my performance. My performance may go down," he said.
"I am hoping that the Airlines replace the broken one with a new weapon. I hope the Airlines will cooperate on this. But I don`t know how long it will take to get a new weapon, may be six months," he said.
Coach Sunny Thomas said that the Lufthansa Airlines should replace the gun or pay the compensation.
"The airlines should pay or replace it. I think the authorities here have sent a report to their headquarters that the gun has been broken inside its aircraft. It may take time though to get a replacement or get monetary compensation because of the formalities," he said.
In 2006, Athens Olympics silver medallist Rajyavardhan Rathore`s shotgun was lost in transit while travelling by the same Lufthansa Airlines.
Last year, Joydeep Karmakar`s rifle also broke into two pieces while coming back home from abroad by the same airlines.

OK So this shake is absolutely scrumptious. I cannot rave enough about it.
This shake is decadent, rich, creamy, and delicious. If you want to make this shake colder, add in some ice cubes. If you want it richer, feel free to get a bit more heavy-handed with the Cocoa that is for you self respecting chocoholics out there motto being the richer the better. If you want it sweeter, feel free to tempt fate. But I will warn you for me, this shake got sweeter the more I drank it. And because I was a stellar pig and devoured the whole trough on my own (two full glasses), I found that less, really is more! My sister TOTALLY disagreed and could have had more of her chocolate rich version! Either way Ill take out a stake in this shake!
- Yield

It's going to be quiet from me this week, as I'm in trial. We picked the jury yesterday afternoon and will start evidence presentation today. If you're in the neighborhood, come by and watch. If you're not, I'll try and fill you in afterwards.
This is the case.
And if you want something more to read, check out Jamison Koehler's blog entry on talking to kids about what we do. He's a criminal defense lawyer in DC so, naturally, his take is different from mine. Fascinating and thoughtful, as always.

Submitted by Arthur N1ORC - Amsat A/C #31468 * Station Crew Unloads Cargo, Moves Robot Arm* In addition to continuing cargo transfers on Wednesday, the Expedition 10 crew also operated the International Space Station's robotic arm. Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan Sharipov unloaded more items that arrived last week aboard the ISS Progress 17 spacecraft. The Progress delivered 4,631 pounds (2,100 kilograms) of cargo, including food, supplies, fuel, oxygen, air and water. It also delivered cameras and lenses that will be used to photograph the thermal protection tiles of Space Shuttle Discovery as the Return to Flight mission approaches the Station in May or June. Chiao and Sharipov are keeping track of the transferred items with the Station Inventory Management System. Inside the Destiny Laboratory, Chiao took the controls of the Robotic Work Station to move the Station's robotic arm, Candadarm2. He placed it in the desired position for its cameras to view March 28's spacewalk. Chiao and Sharipov also conducted a session with the Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in Microgravity (ADUM) experiment. ADUM involves crewmembers conducting on-orbit ultrasound exams on one another to determine the accuracy of using ultrasound to diagnose certain types of on-orbit injuries and to assess whether ultrasound is a feasible option for monitoring in-flight bone alterations. This experiment could have applications on Earth by assisting in the diagnosis of patients in rural or remote areas. On the ground, Russian flight controllers commanded the ISS Progress 16 cargo ship to deorbit and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Progress 16, filled with unneeded Station items, undocked from the aft end of the Zvezda Service Module on Feb. 27 to clear the way for Progress 17's arrival.

Issues with Media Player
So the issue I am having it when it comes to removing music from my media library. I cannot delete a single song, an artist or a single album. I had to move all my music to another drive since I was running low on space on my main drive but, now I'm having my current issues. I can still add in the music files from the new location on my drive but, now my media player is listing duplicates of each song. One files will player as usual but, the other won't and when I click on this file, the message prompt says the file cannot be located. It's understandable that the program would warn me of the issue but, this shouldn't be an issue if I could simply delete those empty files from my library. Just right now I check the properties of one of the files and I get this:
C:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-3562425829-811864874-3300820589-1002\$RBVGTM1\Glastonbury '04\Citizen Erased.mp3
My recycle bin is empty. Could I have a virus?
Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|26 Apr 2013
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
The files showing in the library are NOT duplicates of the files on your main storage hard drive. They are just links to the location where the actual files are stored. If you move that location then the links wont work. You need to empty the library and start again adding to the library from the new location!
If you think you have a virus, do you have an up to date A/V software installed?
|My System Specs
|26 Apr 2013
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 7600
also just make sure in wmp options that you have unchecked "delete from computer when deleting from media player."
as mitchell says you need to clear the library before setting up again.
one way to do it is to click library at the top of wmp, then click the folder icon ,open that then delete the lot, making sure the delete from pc is unchecked first.
then close wmp and it should rebuild the library when you re open wmp.

Television To Internet Converter
We know that Sony has decided to revolutionize the way TV works this year at CES by integrating even more of the Internet inside, but what happens when you are still rocking to an old school TV and decide to go against the grain by not upgrading your TV once every couple of years? That's what the Television To Internet Converter is for then – this nifty little device is capable of turning your television into an Internet browser. Basically, it will require a fairly recent TV that has an HDMI port so that it can hook into there, using the included cable to communicate with a wired or wireless home Internet connection. The television's screen will show off a proprietary web browser that relies on a virtual keyboard that is controlled from the included remote. Apart from that, it will show off various information such as the time, weather, and calendar, while sporting bookmarks for popular websites including YouTube and Google Maps. No full HD here as it maxes out at 720p resolution. You can bring home the Television To Internet Converter for grandpa at $199.95 each.

Windows 7
PC wont read my Windows 7 installation disc
Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy.
Basically as the title says my PC wont recognise either Windows 7 disc, 32 or 64 bit.
I'm currently running Windows 7 but trying to reformat. Its worked before with the same PC and disc.
It wont boot when I choose to boot from disk on BIOS and it wont recognise the disc when I put it in. (when Windows is loaded up).
Now here's the kicker.
The DVD drive is fine as my PC is accepting other DVD's I have (I even tried 4 to make sure) and the same Windows 7 disc works fine in my laptop.
So the problem isn't the DVD or the DVD drive. What have I done?
As I said there any help much appreciated.

Some resources can't necessarily be found in guidebooks. That is why I wanted to be your Greeter: to give you an alternative view of the city of Mulhouse.
As a news photographer for the regional daily press for some fifteen years, my job gives me an up-close understanding of the area I've chosen to live in: Mulhouse and its region. Passionate about sound and images, I find a certain balance between an exciting job, a strong network of relationships and a geographical location open to Basle and Freiburg (30 min), as well as Paris (3 hrs).
Mulhouse is a lively city that is full of surprises. I want to share hot spots, good restaurants, amazing or just interesting sites that are characteristic of the city and the surrounding area. I also want to offer alternative visits – whether urban or bucolic – to visitors just passing through. I am an Epicurean with artistic and cultural affinities in the widest sense of the term. From the Italian-style theatre on rue de la Sinne to the banks of the Ill and their graffiti, I can give you tips for a fun stay...
PS: I have a mother tongue that I don't speak very well – Portuguese – but I would be delighted to use it more.

How do you like your coffee?
Write by Anja Olsen
Actually it is a very good question, because many don't know. Oh, yes they know that they will have milk and sugar in the coffee, or a latte with a lot off milk, even with the skinny milk, that do
n't match the coffee, at all. But that's about choices. And the good news is more and more people are interested in coffee. We all have our own choices and taste for coffee.
When it comes to coffee, it´s complex as wine is. It´s a palette full off different tastes, magnificent, intensive, strong,
deep, bitter and sweet. I discovered that, when I had my own and only coffee shop back in the 00´s. A dream I had for many years and suddenly it came true. I spend five months to research and taste coffee from all over the world.
As wine, the coffee is about agriculture, environment, earth, highs and light. If you know just a little about coffee, you maybe have heard about the two most popular beans the Arabica and the Robusta. The
Arabica is the most fragile beans and the hardest one to grow. It is a delicate bean, that is tender and need lot of attention, the tree grows on the highlands and it represent ¾ of the coffee
trees in the world. Arabica is the oldest coffee tree and most important in the world. Robusta beans live up to the name. Robusta is a lowland tree, strong for changing climates and illness, and is the largest tree of t
hem all. There are so many coffee trees in the world, around 100 different kind, but Arabica and Robusta is the most important ones. It takes 3-4 years before the first berry will show and the coffee tree is alive for between 20 – 30 years. Coffee trees worst enemy is dryness and frost. Right now the Kenya Arabica coffee trees are under very big changes, because of the dry climate in the highlands of Kenya. If they don't get water, the trees will die. The climate changes reaches also all the way to your coffee.
The coffee experts around the world when classifying the best coffee, is often given to the beans that had grown at the highest places. But also the art in the coffee is about the delicate roasting of the green coffee beans and it is here the flavour and aroma comes to light. The roasting is generally in high temperatures between 200 – 250 degree and between 8 – 15 minutes.
Right after, the beans get showered in cold water, for stopping the burning process. As mention before, the
burning are where the art and passion shows. Some, but few, are specialists in double roasting.
If I take the helicopter perspective, the generally coffee beans in the world will take me to places like;
Latin America; Sweet, high on sorrel, light in taste, roasting from light to medium in long time
Africa and the Middle East: middle high sorrel, syrup texture, roasting dark, the notes are chocolate and citrus and with a spice flavor.
Asia: Rich and warm flavour, flower smell and the burning process is dark and very dark, for keeping the rich and warm flavour.
So, if you ask how I like my coffee, my answer is black, pure black coffee. I love Kenya coffee, that's my favourite. Sometimes I drink a cappuccino, if they know how to "make" the milk, or a macchiato or cortado. I like when I really can feel the taste of the coffee beans and not as when the milk taking over the coffee taste. But that's my taste. What´s yours?
My advice if you don't. Keep tasting, all the various sorts and make your notes until you find out.
Coffee is about spoiling yourself, enjoying and relaxing with one of our most irresistible and sensual soft drinks we have.
Like agent Cooper from "Twin Peaks" will say "This is a fine damn good cup of coffee."
Will he still be saying that, now 25 years later in the new episodes of Twin Peaks?
(Twin Peaks first two episodes have premiere today in Cannes. Twin Peaks can be streamed from HBO Nordic.)

Posthumous Tech Council award: The late Ralph Baer's Pong was the game that started it allBy MIKE COTE
June 16. 2018 11:53PM
Back in the '70s, Mark Baer had pretty good street cred in the neighborhood: He could tell his buddies his dad invented Pong.
Mark Baer was in Nashua on Wednesday to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award for Ralph H. Baer during the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.
The presentation began with a screening of black-and-white footage from the late '60s during which Ralph Baer and a co-worker demonstrated the new video tennis game, showing how they could even put some spin on the ball. The simple lines and blips on a TV screen gave birth to an industry that generated nearly $109 billion in revenues in 2017.
In the mid-1960s, Baer and a small group of engineers at Sanders Associates in Nashua, which later became BAE Systems, pioneered video game technology. They licensed the technology to Magnavox, which produced the Odyssey in 1972, the world's first video game console.
Baer, who secured more than 150 patents, worked as an engineer and inventor after escaping Nazi Germany as a 16-year-old and also fought in World War II. He moved from New York to New Hampshire in the mid-1950s, and lived here until his death in 2014 at age 92.
"New Hampshire was a wonderful home to our family, and it gave us that opportunity to live in peace, to live our lives out, and to give my dad the opportunity to create, which is what he did," Mark Baer said.
A fundraising campaign is underway in Manchester to honor Baer with a bench and sculpture of his likeness the Millyard. Organizers hope to break ground in the fall.
