Hi!, I've installed scummvm 1.4.0 on my n900. The keys are not responding. I've downloaded the source and ran a few tests and it seems it isn't getting any key events (only mouse events) when calling the method code:
bool SdlEventSource::dispatchSDLEvent(SDL_Event &ev, Common::Event &event)
in file backends/events/sdl/sdl-events.cpp
bool SdlEventSource::dispatchSDLEvent(SDL_Event &ev, Common::Event &event)
I was afraid that would happen.
I'll try to fix it for 1.4.1.
Please log a bug with as much detail as possible (including what game(s) you were testing with)
Also, I put in a fix that will hopefully fix it in the latest (experimental) daily build. (The link is in the sticky post in this forum)
Let me know if it works (saves done with that 1.5.0~git build may not work in 1.4.0)
I don't have a N900 to reproduce/test this.
The problem was no keyboard events at all, not even at the scummvm start menu, the last build you have posted solved the problem.
Another problem with the n900 are the keybindings, the n900 doesn't have menu key nor fullscreen key, so I cannot access the in game menu and toggle fullscreen. (I suggest Ctl+m and Ctl+f)
The bindings with the volume keys doesn't work quite well, the still control the system volume, but after a while (I don't know what I did) they worked.
I ran the tests with The Curse of Monkey Island.
Go ahead and log bug reports for these issues as per forum rule 3a.
Ctrl-m cannot be used because it is used for a built-in function.
The old Maemo port cheated to achieve this (it wasn't in the official repo and was sort of hacked in)
I think I will have to use the keymapper for these functions so that you can remap them instead of them being hardcoded and potentially getting in the way of a game that uses them.
Try to find out what you did for the volume keys to work.
Another way to go is to use Xmodmap, if it's available, and change the keys this way.
If you type in f8 in the virtual keyboard you'll bring up the keymapper.
You can set the key for global main menu there. Try that in the daily build.
Caveat: it is very experimental.
I've submitted three bugs, one for the key events problem on the N900 in scummvm 1.4.0 (that one is corrected in daily build 1.5.0git812-gc451bd4-dirty), and the other with the zoom keys bindings. This one may be related to this:
I added a third one for the in-game menu key binding, I think this is important. The keymapper workaround works.
quote: Originally posted by tsolimanIf you type in f8 in the virtual keyboard you'll bring up the keymapper.
Which build support this? I have this version installed and F8 doesn't work or i just don't now how to use it.
Could proximity sensor be used for disabling mouse clicks? Eg. when proximity is covered then no clicks. Old method, holding down ctrl key, was also ok.
quote: Originally posted by tsolimanIf you type in f8 in the virtual keyboard you'll bring up the keymapper.
The 1.5.0git development snapshots do. Look for the first thread in this forum (announcement)
EDIT: I was answering the part about the keymapper. I'll try to look into the proximity sensor.

HP Refreshes Z Workstation Line with Three Upgraded Models6 Mar, 2012 By: Cadalyst Staff
The HP Z420, Z620, and Z820 make their debut, offering new multicore options and increased expandability.
Today, Hewlett-Packard introduced three new models in its HP Z workstation line: the Z420, Z620, and Z820. The new workstations feature Intel Xeon E5-1600 and E5-2600 processors, offer up to 512 GB of DDR3 memory, and support multithreaded workstation applications. They also feature third-generation PCI Express technology. During an HP media preview event, Jeff Wood, the company's vice-president of worldwide marketing, Commercial Solutions, described the release as "a compelling refresh to our product offering."
A Growing Family
HP launched the Z family in 2009 with its Z400, Z600, and Z800 workstations, adding the smaller Z200 and Z210 models in subsequent years, and the all-in-one Z1 last month. As the line has evolved, HP has kept its focus on professional users in CAD and other compute-intensive markets. "A workstation customer is doing mission-critical work ... they're designing planes, trains, and automobiles," said Jim Zafarana, vice-president and general manager, Commercial Solutions.
HP Z420. Designed to meet mainstream computing and visualization needs for users working in CAD, architecture, video editing, and photography, this upgraded version of the Z400 includes up to eight processing cores using processors from the Intel Xeon E5-1600 and E5-2600 families, up to 64 GB of ECC (error-correcting code) memory, up to 11 TB of high-speed storage, and up to NVIDIA Quadro 5000 or dual NVIDIA Quadro 2000 graphics cards.
The 400-level workstation is the least expensive of the three — and has been the best seller in the past, according to Josh Peterson, director of worldwide product marketing, Commercial Solutions. With its price point and feature set, "the Z420 fits the need for a lot of our customers," including AEC and product design professionals, said Peterson.
The Z420 features a revamped industrial design, including a new chassis that's easier to open than the Z400, Peterson noted. It increases memory support from 1300 MHz to 1600 MHz, sports USB 3 ports in the front and back, and has an additional power button on the back for use in rack environments.
HP Z620. The mid-range model is intended for customers in a variety of markets, including architecture and animation. "[The Z620] was positioned squarely in the financial trade market, and has expanded now into high-end CAD," noted Zafarana.
The Z620 is ideal for users who have limited space, but need multicore processing, said Mike Diehl, product manager, Personal Workstations. "Analysis really strains memory and processing cores, so you want lots of memory and processing cores [for that type of work]," said Diehl. He also noted that the Z620 is well suited to geospatial applications, as it has the memory capacity needed to store the large models used in remote sensing and photogrammetry workflows.

The Z620 supports both single- and dual-socket processors, up to 16 processing cores, up to 96 GB of ECC memory, up to 11 TB of high-speed storage, and up to NVIDIA Quadro 6000 or dual NVIDIA Quadro 5000 graphics cards.
HP Z820. The most expensive and most capable of the three new models, the Z820 is "focused for the ultimate power user," said Zafarana. That definition includes customers in oil and gas, MCAD, MCAE, medical, and other visualization-intensive jobs.
The Z820 features an integrated handle on the front for easier carrying (left), and manual releases inside for tool-free component access (marked in green; right). Images courtesy of HP.
The Z820 provides up to 16 processing cores, up to 512 GB of ECC memory, up to 14 TB of high-speed storage, and up to dual NVIDIA Quadro 6000 graphics. The Z620 and Z820 are both rack-mountable and have a liquid-cooling option.
The Power of Processors
The Intel Xeon E5-2600–series processors, available in all three of the new models, allow for up to 16 physical cores in a single system and let 32 threads run at one time when using two processors, each with eight cores and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enabled. The new processors include Intel vPro Technology, integrated memory controllers, and Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
According to Boyd Davis, vice-president of Intel's Architecture Group, the new Intel Xeon processor families have integrated I/O (input/output), reducing unnecessary steps that slow down I/O traffic, and the third-generation PCI Express technology doubles bandwidth over the previous generation. "When you add it all up, the throughput of the platform is dramatically higher," he said.
Davis explained that ultimately, faster processors give users time for more design work. "The goal is to provide users with more resources to attempt more new ideas."
Environmental and Economic Considerations
The new HP Z workstations include 90% efficient power supplies, which reduce both overall energy use and the amount of heat released. The HP Z line is EPEAT Gold–registered and offers ENERGY STAR–qualified configurations. All HP Z workstations offer BFR/PVC-free configurations and are more than 90% recyclable by weight.
The HP Z420, Z620, and Z820 are expected to be available worldwide beginning in April. Estimated U.S. pricing starts at $1,169 for the Z420, $1,649 for the Z620, and $2,299 for the Z820.

August 20, 2013
On August 14, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) introduced the Communities United with Religious Leaders for the Elimination of HIV/AIDS (CURE) Act of 2013 to both chambers of the U.S. Congress. Intended to reduce HIV incidence among U.S. minority populations, the bill would fund the National Institutes of Health and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grants for HIV prevention activities, including research, education, outreach, and testing. Grant recipients would include CDC, the Office of Minority Health (OMH), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and community- and faith-based organizations.
Sen. Rangel stated the bill would allow community and religious organizations to partner in finding "on-the-ground" solutions to high HIV incidence in communities of color. The bill would provide funding for health agencies and faith- and community-based organizations to expand HIV prevention education and counseling, especially among runaway and homeless youth. The bill also would supply funding for OMH to collaborate with public and private sector communities to increase awareness of health risks among racial and ethnic minorities. CDC would receive funding for behavioral research and testing to find effective HIV prevention solutions.
African Americans accounted for approximately half of all new U.S. HIV infections; approximately 20 percent of new HIV infections occurred among Hispanics. HIV incidence among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders was twice that of whites, and HIV incidence was 30 percent higher among American Indians/Alaska natives than whites.
CURE Act proponents included a wide range of national organizations, faith-based organizations, and minority advocates, including the National Medical Association, National Conclave on HIV/AIDS Policy for Black Clergy, the Black AIDS Institute, the National Alliance of Hispanic Health, the Asian Pacific Islander American Wellness Center, and the National Caucus of Black State Legislators.

1. Before You Buy – Use What You Have.
Chances are you have a lot of stuff in your closets waiting to be used! I've recently broken a habit of buying bulk. One of my challenges has been to use what I have before moving on to greener and better options. Don't we just get excited and want to go shopping!
Dig around. You'll be surprised at what you have – using what you have is better than a green acquisition. In the PND pantry we still have 3 boxes of plastic Costco cutlery, 1200 paper napkins, ribbon, gift wrap, moisturizers, conditioners, sunscreens… you get the idea. We're working on it!
2. Take Care of The Things You Own!
Taking care of your "stuff" values the resources that went into making it! You'll keep them longer and reducing impact by not having to replace it. Your home, cars, clothing, shoes, toys, etc… will all benefit from being well taken care of. And the environment will thank you, if it's taken care of it's less likely to be tossed when you are done with it. It's more likely that you'll be able to pass it along to a new home when you're done with it.
Teaching your children to care for their things will impart values that will last a lifetime.
3. Pick just one area of your life to green!
Wherever you are in your green journey… whether you are just beginning or an ecosavant, pick ONE new area to work on. Once mastered you can add another, another, another… you get the idea. Living a greener, healthier life is a journey that starts with one step.
4. Buy Organic
Start buying organic in a new area of your life.
You may have bought organic food, or this might be new for you. You may buy organic dairy, but haven't moved into the produce section yet. Pick a new area to explore the benefits of organic.
If you've never bought organic cotton or denim, next time you're shopping keep your eyes and mind open. Ask the stores you shop at. Even if you make a conventional selection, asking the questions will help spread the word that customers care and want to see more options. You may even find organic options in places you don't expect. This last holiday season I was able to buy organic cotton casual clothing for lil' Diva at Walmart and Organic PJ's for both the kids at Costco.
Keep your eyes peeled and ASK!
5. Buy Fair Trade
I buy fair trade chocolate. I figure chocolate is something I don't NEED. It's a luxury. I figure, if it's a luxury I can step up and make sure children aren't picking the cocoa beans for my chocolate. It's been fun, I've been on the hunt for the perfect fair trade organic fix to my chocolate cravings.
It doesn't have to be chocolate, you could pick coffee, clothing, bananas, again… sometimes starting in an area of your life that is already a splurge will make it a little easier to spend that little bit extra that fair trade calls for.
You'll be surprised how it will inspire you!
6. Buy Quality
Can't find what you are looking for organic or fair trade, buy good quality. It will last and when you're done you'll be able to pass it on. As a country we have become accustomed to buying everything in quantity. We can take a page out of the Europeans' book, attempt to retrain our sense of value. Buy fewer high quality items, moving away from our culture's more, more, more frame of mind. Look for items that are made in your country too, supporting your own economy.
5. When You're Done with Something – Pass It On!
When you are done with something, find a new home for it! We had a rug that our dogs had scratched. I listed it on Craigslist with pictures of the damage, within 30 minutes I had 10 people that wanted it. When we we're renovating I listed mirrors, sinks, hardware… whatever I thought someone else might find useful…. and they came. These items were destined for the landfill, but with not too much effort were taken away and used by others.
That said – this is one of my areas of weakness. I have a hard time saying goodbye to my stuff. I'm sure it comes from growing up really poor!
6. Reusable Water Bottles
If you don't have a reusable water bottle and a way to filter your water. Get one and start using it!
Get in the habit of taking your bottles and the children's bottles ALL THE TIME. In particular, parties, sporting events and school. Eventually if host/ess' start seeing guests arriving equipped with their own beverage containers they won't feel the need to buy bottled water for their parties. We put out iced tea, water with glasses.
7. Group you errands into similar geographic regions.
Saves trips, saves gas, saves time! SCORE!
8. Detox Your Beauty!
When I first began the journey to detox my beauty routine, I started by using up what I had (still doing this of a few things!) and replacing them with safer options! I encourage everyone to do this. The next item you are running low on, replace it with something better. Use PND to help find the replacement that is right for you. Knowing what I know now, if I was pregnant, I wouldn't use the "use it up" method. I would make the switch immediately.
Do this for your children first if you have them! Their developing systems are more vulnerable to the toxins in their environment.
9. Pay attention to Preservatives and Additives.
While you are shopping, get in the habit of reading labels! If you can't read the name of the ingredient, chances are you'd be better off with a different option. You'll be surprised – pick up pickle relish and 2 brands will contain HFCS, one will not… easy healthier switch.
10. Use Less Canned Foods.
Chances are you've heard about BPA's in the news, in particular concern over plastics and baby bottles. But did you know how we ingest the most BPA's – Canned Food. Opt for glass packaging over canned to minimize your families exposure!
11. Green Your Parties!
Parties can be a huge source of waste. We opt for convenience, buy a lot of pre packaged, convenient entertainment foods. We serve foods on paper or plastic plates, drink from countless paper & plastic cups. Start adding up the cost of all that convenience and not only are you throwing a lot of hard earned money in the landfill, but that plastic will live there forever.
One year we were getting ready for a super bowl party and did the math. For the cost of buying paper goods, we were able to purchase inexpensive white plates, glasses and wine glasses from IKEA. We use these for our parties – including the parties for the little ones. It may take a little extra effort, but I never have to run out to the store for cups and plates last minute! Next on the list is to get party flatware.
You can also find reasonably priced "catering" sets at Pottery Barn, Cost Plus, and Bed Bath & Beyond.
The pre-packaged food options. Sometimes it's easy to succumb to the ease of this ready to go food, but for so much less money you can buy really nice, high quality foods, fruits and vegetables.
You might even find with all the money you're saving on prepared foods and paper goods that you can spend your savings on getting an extra set of hands to help you at the party!
If you can't bear the thought of these suggestions buy eco friendly disposables. You can find them at Smart & Final, Whole Foods and such. You are looking for plastics that can be Compostable. This typically means they will biodegrade in a few weeks. Compostable plastics can be placed in our "green" garbage bins in Los Angeles. With a little research you can find out if you can compost with your yard waste in your area (in the event you don't have one in your yard)!
12. Clean Green
Start cleaning your home with green cleaners or make your own formulas using some of our easy recipes. You'll reduce the toxins you are breathing in your home after you've cleaned it.
I'll never forget an Oprah "ah ha" moment for me… "CLEAN DOESN'T HAVE A SMELL"!
Extra Credit: Use less plastic!
Bring your own bags to the grocery store. Choose products with less plastic packaging. Choose items packaged in glass. Store your leftovers in glass.
You Can Do It!
I know, I know… I missed so many things… you can do those things too!
I hope these tips inspire you to find new things you can do to have a healthier, happier, greener life!

Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger said Thursday his rehab from back surgery was progressing, but that he didn't know if he would be ready for the start of training camp in September.
"I'm not Kreskin," he said.
In a wide-ranging conference call with reporters, Pronger said he was brought in two seasons ago to help Mike Richards with his captaincy, added that the surgery for a herniated disk had eased the pain in his leg, and acknowledged that his injury-plagued season was "frustrating."
Pronger, whose team was swept by Boston in the conference semifinals, was asked about Richards and how he has handled the captaincy.
"When a team wins, players get pats on the back, and that's usually your captain and goalie." He added that the opposite happens when a team loses, and said that was unfair.
"People can say whatever they want about Richie. At the end of the day, it's a team sport," he said.
Added Pronger: "I was brought it to help him be a captain…I think he's made some strides. Everyone does things their own way."
Pronger on being a captain in Philadelphia. "It's not easy when expectations are high."
He added it was "a little ridiculous for people to be blaming one person" _ Richards _ for the Flyers playoff failure.
Asked if he thought the Flyers needed to add a goaltender, Pronger said, "Goalies don't grow on trees…The difficult part is, who do you have to give up to get one?"
Pronger, who will turn 37 on Oct. 10, said he did not know when he could begin skating, adding there were "lots of hurdles before I can do anything."
The defenseman's back surgery was his fourth operation in a 9 1/2-month period.

[intro: la the darkman, (raekwon)]
Word up. la the dark' and chef.
(true. let's get it right.)
Aiyyo. fourth.
(let's get it right like white.)
Burning that ass. sniff it up.
(you know how we go, kid.)
Like a hound on dope.
(yeah. yeah.)
Word. word life. la the dark'.
Big up to my many buck-buck.
Don't sweat that.
(what up, son.)
It's all good.
(check it. check it.)
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Aiyyo la, what's up son
Aiyyo, you read the papers
2 columbian niggaz hit these funny niggaz
A heavy routine, chevy, yukon green
Had crazy coke up in that piece by all means
[la the darkman]
The kids was mad flonting, rae', it had to go down
Killers be coming for your neck, when you wearing a crown
4-5's and ak's, kids ready to spray
The cats got nine lives from around my way
Timb boots and dough galore, two techs by the door
So, when the po-po come, I can take them to war
Same subject, techs and royalty checks
Plus marketing the drugs, equal mad respect
I gotta get mine, blast mad nines on a regular
Fake competitor or player, I mean this maker
[la the darkman]
Who's the rap mayor, it's me, I be the slayer
The dark's in the realm, you contemplate your prayers
Meteorite or clips hitting in the 9-5th
All you yapping mc's, like pancakes you get flipped
I got a thirty shot clip at the grip of the hip
I'm a mad av. warrior, young tale from the crypt, kid
[chorus: raekwon, (la the darkman)]
As the world goes round yo the same is the same
(same junkies on the corners shooting shit in their vein)
What's the deal, black man must rise up to the top
(representing darkman with this real hip hop)
[interlude: raekwon, (la the darkman)]
And you don't stop (and you don't stop)
Yeah! (and you can't stop) and you can't stop
(word up! word drop that style)
[la the darkman]
You only live once, execute your dreams
A third real triple beam, weighed out my scheme
For the cream, my sold cracks, never could relax
Now build with wu-tang, spitting lyrical facts
Young black mad bastard from the concrete street
And never leave the land without strapping my heat
Keep peace and don't beef, word life tariff
I stole the million dollar show 'cause I'm that dark thief
La, dark gold spark, ready to rip you apart
I was born with a gold shield over my heart
So, don't start none, it won't be none
I'm dominating the screen, my reign just begun
I got raw and uncut for the kids doing the biz
You can't figure my physical like a pyramid
I'm that wicked dark star, may la now ride
I switch to warp space 5 like the starship enterprise
[chorus to fade]

Garret Hedlund to play Hook in 'PAN'
Garret Hedlund has been offered the part of Captain Hook in 'PAN'.
The 'Inside Llewyn Davis' actor is set to play the evil pirate in the latest re-working of J.M. Barrie's children's classic Peter Pan, after beating 'Broad Walk Empire' star Jack Huston and Ezra Miller - who appeared alongside Emma Watson in 'The Perks of Being A Wall Flower' - to the coveted role.
According to Deadline.com the film - which is to be helmed by director Joe Wright - will look into the origins of Peter Pan, an orphan who is taken to the magical world of Neverland where he goes into battle against the evil pirates and becomes a hero among the natives.
Fans of the novel will also get to see the back story of Hook, who served as Pan's close ally before turning evil.
Wright's offering will make a drastic change from past adaptations of the Peter Pan story which included 'Hook' starring Robin Williams in 1991 and Disney's 1953 animation classic.
The news comes after reports that Hugh Jackman will reportedly play the villainous Captain Blackbeard, while Academy-Award winner Javier Bardem is also tipped for the role.
'PAN' is set to hit the big-screen in 3D on June 26, 2015.

FEMA representatives visited Orange and Jefferson counties last week to discuss preliminary flood maps for the areas. Changes in risk levels designated by the new maps could raise or lower flood insurance rates for homeowners and business owners.

BRISTOL — In a muggy Holley Hall Monday evening, dozens of Bristol residents and members of the Bristol Fire Department discussed a proposal to build a new firehouse on West Street.
The site choice, as selected by the Fire Facility Site Selection Committee, is the culmination of more than a year of vetting.
"It's been tough for us to figure out what the best site was for the town, but we think the (West Street) site is best," committee member Shawn Oxford said.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury officials at town meeting next week will present residents with a property tax-neutral municipal spending plan for 2012-2013, but they also will be asking residents to make some long-term investments in fire protection and economic development.
Middlebury town meeting will be held on Monday, March 5, at 7 p.m. in the municipal gym. Australian ballot voting will take place the following day in the same location, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents on Tuesday voted 146-78 in favor of a $250,000 bond issue that will pay for final design and engineering work for a proposed major overhaul of the Seymour Street and East Middlebury fire stations.
Tuesday's successful vote was a precursor to what will be a final, $4.625 million bond referendum for the project, which would result in a new fire station in East Middlebury and a substantial expansion/renovation of the department's Seymour Street headquarters.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on Tuesday, Sept. 27, will be asked to approve a $250,000 bond to complete final design and engineering plans for a substantial rebuild of the town's fire stations on Seymour Street and in East Middlebury.
The Sept. 27 vote is a lead-in to a second, $4.625 million bond referendum to finance construction of the project, which will include extensive renovations and an 8,100-square-foot, four-bay addition for the Seymour Street station.

"I am seeking urgent assistance of a good believe of Islam who will provide an account and his name to me," he writes in an e-mail message with the subject line "Take my Salaam and respect." But this is a "SECRET TRANSACTION," and to learn more about how you can help, you should contact Hassan for further information.
Believe it or not, the folks at Symantec think this offer is a scam similar to other Nigerian 419 advance fee scams. "Without replying to the scammer, it's impossible to be sure exactly how the scam works, but the Symantec Hosted Services team has every suspicion that it operates like most 419 scams," an alert from Symantec states. "Before the nonexistent money can be released, various increasingly inventive fees and charges have to be paid."
The best advice is to not give up any account information or money in the hope that the brother of a would-be terrorist will share his money with you.

This type of scam (aka flimflam, bunko, con, hustle, sting, etc.) has been going on for decades, if not throughout the history of man. I know there will be a small percentage of people in the United States that will fall for this scam - and more than likely, they'll blame the US government for not protecting them from their own stupidity.
We have a new scam, but we don;t know how it works because we have to post a reply???? Well then replay and find out... Heck I thought that is why we all pay Symantec the big bucks.Looks like a job for the bunko squad if you ask me... ...or we could let the lemmings find out how the scam works for us.
Stupidity should be painful sometimes. Anybody dumb enough to fall for one of these should not be conducting financial transactions online in the first place, and perhaps not even face-to-face transactions.

We've had latch problems since day one. Anyways, my DD is now seven weeks old. We just recently, after seeing three ENTs, got it confirmed that she does have a posterior tongue tie. However, nobody is willing to correct it "just" for breastfeeding since it's all the way in the back and "hidden" and they won't do it without putting her under general anesthesia. She's gaining weight, but very slowly, and I believe the only reason is because I literally nurse her constantly. Every waking moment, she is latched on, or popped off and trying to latch on, or drifting off and I'll try to put her down and she wakes back up rooting. I'm worried it will affect my supply when it actually regulates and then I won't be able to EBF her.
Anyways, I've seen multiple lactation counselors but none have been able to help. She started out making clicking noises and has now moved on to making loud sucking noises while latched. She rarely ever swallows. I can't afford to see an IBCLC. Anyways, I've just noticed that, when I try to latch her, she holds her tongue back behind her gums. She can stick her tongue out over her bottom lip and hold it while her mouth is open so I know she is capable of it even with the tongue tie. When I wait to latch her, she sort of licks over her gums but pulls it back to fast for me to latch her with it over them. When she's latched, I can feel her licking.
Also, I feel no suction at all. I know she does suck because I can definitely feel it when she latches onto the wrong place but it breaks before she's done with one suck (and then I get the loud noise.)
Any tips for correcting this? I've heard of suck training with a finger but she refuses to suck on a finger and I'm not really sure what to do exactly. She chews and then tries to push it out and then starts crying. Any tips on getting her to take a finger?

With bigger companies looking to grow, many may look to acquire smaller firms. That's one of the reasons Mario Gabelli, chairman of Gamco Investors, sees opportunity in small-cap equities.
"How do you make money? Spinoffs, split-ups, liquidations, mergers and acquisitions," Gabelli told CNBC on Wednesday.
With this as a framework, in the small-cap space, Gabelli said he likes alcoholic beverage makers, with the potential to be taken over. He pointed out Beam, which was spun off from Fortune Brands .
For investors looking for a larger acquisition target, Gabelli suggests Patterson . The company has three main businesses, dental supplies, veterinarian supplies and rehabilitation supplies.
"Here's a company that was plodding along," Gabelli said. "Earnings haven't gone up. All of a sudden, they're buying back stock, things are starting to get brighter. And so what's the value of the company if someone takes it up?"
Gabelli noted that there are 160 million cats and dogs in the country and Americans are spending more money on their pets.
The investor owns about 1.5 million shares of Patterson and bought some Tuesday after it dropped $3. "We'd like to have it cheaper," he added.
He also pointed to garage door maker Griffon . While it won't see much benefit from rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy, the company could split into pieces. "Financial engineering is a way to make money as well," Gabelli said.
Other small-cap stocks Gabelli highlighted include Pep Boys, Superior Industries, Smart Balance, Endo Pharmaceuticals and Tredegar .

Panasonic preps outdoor Android slate
Daylight readable display, anyone?
There's a large big biz shaped hole at the heart of the Android tablet market, Panasonic reckons, but it's one the company aims to fill.
Enter the Toughbook tablet, a 10.1in machine with extra padding at the edges to make it more resistant to knocks and bumps than your average fondleslab.
We don't know about big business, but we do know that a fair few ordinary punters will also like the idea of a tablet that eschews a glossy display in favour of the "high brightness, daylight viewable screen" Panasonic is promising its tablet will offer.
Panasonic didn't say much else about the Toughbook tablet's specs - it'll have GPS on board, and 3G connectivity will be optional - but it may not have finalised the details yet. The gadget won't be out until Q4. ®

Skip to comments.France: Hundreds of Islamist militants killed in Mali
Posted on 02/05/2013 6:07:31 PM PST by the scotsman
'"Several hundred" Islamist militants have been killed since France launched an offensive in Mali last month, the French defence minister has said.
Jean-Yves Le Drian said they had been killed in airstrikes and direct combat with French troops. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has said that France may begin pulling out of Mali as early as March.
In a newspaper interview, he said that "if everything goes as planned, the number of troops should diminish".
France has an estimated 4,000 troops in Mali and officials from multilateral institutions and dozens of countries have been meeting in Brussels to discuss how to replace them. The defence minister said the last major town in northern Mali to remain in the hands of the rebels, Kidal, was now under French control.
Air attacks are continuing on suspected rebel hideouts north of the town.'
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.co.uk ...
It's a good start....
I'll deny this the same way the filthy koranimals deny the Holocaust.
Light in the loafers, deadly in the boots.
Problem is it is only a start!
And the French Defence Minister announced that they will begin pulling their troops out of Mali next month.
Personally I think they should stay for 12 years, occupy with tens of thousands of soldiers, pump billions into infrastructure, corruption and bribes then negotiate with Al Qaeda for a peaceful transition.
Looks like the French have better Rules of Engagement than we do. No Miranda Rights, letting them shoot first, etc.
..not to worry Obama wants to be president of France in 2016 too...he'll fix that...
Martel lives!
Two or three years ago, my Sister and BIL were vacationing in Hungary. They would send me pics about every week or so. One day they happened on a parade of mostly military items. After the parade the President of the Country gave a speech only a few hundred feet from where they were.
Among the pics they sent me was of a bunch of French soldiers all carrying those funny looking rifles and in full uniform, of course in parade formation.
They flat out impressed my. They really looked like a bunch of mean characters. Not in the least bit wussified. They also appeared to be unusually large.
Good news!
They're going to pull out in March? Ohhhhhh.....Soros got the deal signed.
I'll hold my applause until all Islamist militants have been killed by France in Mali.
Did they piss on their dead bodies...?
Right. Clean house and get out. No time for IED factories to emerge. War is hell. Make them think twice.
Thanks the scotsman, and thanks *France* for cleaning up the mess — well, until it becomes politically unpopular and the whole effort gets thrown under the bus.
France is doing the jobs Americans won't do (anymore).
Back in the day, I was on a couple operations in Africa. I saw the Legion and the French Army up close. I like having them on our side.

ATLANTA (AP) — Around the Final Four and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of everything surrounding the games.
Christian Laettner is trying to be a good role model for his three children.
So the former Duke star said he hasn't shown the highlights of the play when he caught the full-court pass from Grant Hill, turned and made the last-second winning shot to beat Kentucky 104-103 in the 1992 East Regional final.
"People already think I have a big ego and big head," he said. "I don't want my children thinking that. But whenever my dad is in town he sneaks the DVD in and makes them watch a little bit of it."
Laettner was back in the Final Four spotlight on Friday as he was honored for his starring role in the NCAA tournament's most memorable moment, as voted on by fans.
Laettner, who played in four national semifinals and won two NCAA championships at Duke, also was named one of the top 15 players in the tournament's 75 years.
— Charles Odum __ http://twitter.com/@CharlesOdum
It's not every day generations of college basketball greats like Oscar Robertson, Bill Walton, Danny Manning and Christian Laettner sit elbow to elbow at the same table.
They gathered Friday to be named in the top 15 players in 75 years of the NCAA tournament, as voted on by fans.
"I think it's great for the fans across the country to see what transpired over the years," said the 74-year-old Robertson. "Some of the things I've almost forgotten."
Robertson said there wasn't "all this fanfare" when he played in the 1959 and 1960 Final Fours for Cincinnati.
Also voted as top 15 players: Bill Russell, San Francisco; Jerry West, West Virginia; Jerry Lucas, Ohio State; Bill Bradley, Princeton; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, UCLA; Larry Bird, Indiana State; Magic Johnson, Michigan State; Michael Jordan, North Carolina; Patrick Ewing, Georgetown; Hakeem Olajuwon, Houston; and Grant Hill, Duke.

If the oddsmakers are right, Saturday night will end with Louisville and Michigan in the NCAA tournament final.
The Cardinals are still favored to win the national championship, but if you're bracket is long busted and you're just looking to pull for an underdog, then you can't go wrong with Wichita State.
Louisville is picked over Wichita State by 10½ points, which according to Pregame.com makes the Cardinals the second-biggest favorite in a Final Four game. Duke (-11) against Michigan State in 1999 was the biggest.
Pregame says Louisville has a 53 percent chance to win the title, while Wichita State is the longshot at 7 percent.
In the other semifinal, Michigan is favored over Syracuse, but not by much — just 2 points.
— John Affleck —http://twitter.com/@affleckap
Lionel Messi has a big fan in Gorgui Dieng.
Emphasis on the big.
Louisville's 6-11 center grew up in Senegal, and soccer was his first love. Though basketball is Dieng's game now, he still loves soccer.
And Messi.
"He's the best soccer player I've ever seen in my life!" Dieng said.
Messi has been FIFA's Player of the Year each of the last four seasons, and he's making a case for another win this season. He's scored 57 times already this season for Barcelona, including a goal in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Asked who his favorite team was, Dieng said, "Of course, Senegal." When asked his favorite club team, Dieng just laughed.
"I'll show you my Barcelona jersey," he said. "I'm a fan."

Syracuse forward Rakeem Christmas and NBC's Jimmy Fallon are each enjoying the other's success.
Fallon has become a fan of Christmas — especially when he saw the sophomore forward wears No. 25. Fallon says he's cheering for the Orange in the Final Four, and that has prompted Syracuse students to tweet "Very Rakeem Christmas" photos to the talk show host.
"There have been a lot of pictures and some people at school have been going 'Christmas caroling' on their way to classes and stuff," Christmas said Friday. "It's kind of funny and it brings a smile to my face."
Christmas said he sent a congratulatory text to Fallon, who was recently named as Jay Leno's successor on the Tonight Show.
"He said 'Thank you very much,'" Christmas said. "It was kind of cool for me."

A room packed with reporters hoping to interview injured Louisville Kevin Ware had to settle for one of his best friends on the Cardinals team.
On Friday, Ware and forward Chane Behanan were scheduled to field questions together, but the decision was made to give Ware a day of rest his surgically repaired right leg when he fell asleep at the team's dinner table on Thursday night.
"Once he gets one minute to relax, he was just dozing at the table and he went on to his room to go to sleep," Behanan said.
Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein said Ware needed Friday's rest so he can attend Saturday's semifinal game against Wichita State.
— Charles Odum
Wichita State's Evan Wessel certainly can empathize with Kevin Ware.
The Louisville guard has been in the spotlight ever since breaking his leg in the regional finals against Duke, while Wessel has been forced to watch the Shockers' remarkable Final Four run from the bench after having surgery to repair a broken bone in his right hand.
Wessel, from Wichita, started the Shockers' first eight games before getting hurt.
"I have the utmost respect for Kevin Ware," Wessel said, "and I don't want to see that happen to anybody, and obviously my injury wasn't as severe as his was, but I know how he feels."
Wessel is part of a Wichita State dynasty. His grandfather, Evert Wessel, played basketball from 1956-59, and his father Todd played football when the school still had a program.
The school has applied for a medical redshirt, so Wessel will still have three seasons of eligibility. But then again, the Final Four could be a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
"The whole atmosphere at the Final Four has been great," Wessel said, "and whether you're playing or not you're going to remember this for the rest of your life."
— Dave Skretta — http://twitter.com/@APdaveskretta
Day 2 of the Final Four schedule of events kicked off Friday with Indiana's undefeated 1976 team honored as part of the celebration of 75 Years of March Madness.
Coach Bob Knight and seven players from the team, including Scott May and Quinn Buckner, reflected on the team's 32-0 season. It was the last undefeated season in college basketball.
"I don't think there's ever been a better representative of collegiate athletes than these kids," Knight said.
The Final Four was just gaining steam as a big national event in 1976 and the NCAA tournament included only 32 teams.
— Charles Odum
The cast of the TBS sitcom "Men at Work" is split when it comes to who they think will win the national basketball championship.
Danny Masterson and Adam Busch believe Syracuse will walk away with the crown. James Lesure is taking Louisville while Michael Cassidy is going with Wichita State.
The cast is in Atlanta promoting the second season of their sitcom, which premieres April 4.
But the four main characters of the show also plan to catch some of the festivities surrounding the Final Four and are looking to attending the games at the Georgia Dome.
— Jonathan Landrum — http://twitter.com/@MrLandrum31
There is always considerable debate about the financial benefits for cities that host big events like the Final Four and the Super Bowl.
Tens of thousands of fans spend money over several days, clearly benefiting local restaurants, bars and hotels and generating local tax revenue. But there's also lost productivity for other routine businesses affected by traffic and the other trappings. And there's increased cost for city services, from overtime for police and other first responders to expensive cleanup.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed unapologetically declares the Final Four a welcome event for Atlanta. His office pegs the economic impact at $70 million.
— Bill Barrow
Wichita State forward Carl Hall said he knows about lighting up the Final Four.
But he wasn't boosting about being able to score a lot of points, he was talking about the actual lights at Georgia Dome.
Hall made hundreds of the fluorescent light fixtures inside the arena while working a factory job near his home in Cochran, Ga., a couple hours' drive from the dome.
"Actually we made these lights they have on the ceiling here," Hall said Friday, pointing above his head. "I probably painted those parts. But we made those lights, and I remember it was very hot, and you come home covered in paint. It was just not a great feeling. It's a very hard job."
He made $12 an hour working the overnight shift, where he painted the fixtures. He would get off at 7 a.m. so that he could attend classes at Middle Georgia College during the day.
Said Shockers coach Gregg Marshall: "With Carl's degree, which he has in hand now, he can go back and at least be a supervisor."
— Dave Skretta
In case you missed it, injured Louisville guard Kevin Ware made an appearance on David Letterman Thursday night and was featured on the show's regular Top 10 list.
The category was the top 10 things going through Ware's mind when he suffered the gruesome compound fracture on his right leg Sunday against Duke. He had surgery on his leg after a bone protruded about six inches through his skin after landing awkwardly trying to block a shot.
The No. 1 item on his Top 10 list: "At least my bracket's not busted."
Presumably, Ware picked Louisville to win the championship.
— Charles Odum
OK, someone with the nickname "Dunkin' Doug" is worth mentioning.
Detroit's Doug Anderson came through with an athletic highlight in slam dunk contest Thursday night that may be tough to beat in the Final Four.
Anderson's winning dunk was a spinning, between-the-legs, 360 slam that brought two of the celebrity judges — Roddy White and Harry Douglas of the Atlanta Falcons — out of their seats.
Virginia Commonwealth's Troy Daniels beat Indiana's Aulani Sinclair for bragging rights as the overall best 3-point shooter.

During a very unusual hearing Friday, two suspected murderers and former lovers came face to face in court for the first time since their arrests.
Peggy Sue Thomas, a former beauty queen, is facing a murder charge, and now a count of conspiracy to commit murder, for her alleged role in the 2003 shooting death of 32-year-old Russel Douglas on South Whidbey.
James Huden, her alleged accomplice and former boyfriend, was convicted of first-degree murder in a high-profile trial last summer and sentenced to 80 years in prison. He was summoned from prison by Island County Prosecutor Greg Banks to appear at a hearing to determine whether he'll testify against Thomas at trial.
The Friday afternoon hearing, however, didn't go the way the prosecutor was expecting.
The case has received widespread media coverage. Nightline, the ABC television news program, is following the case and had a TV camera at the hearing. True-crime author Anne Rule is planning on writing a book about the murder.
Throughout the case, Huden has refused to testify against his former girlfriend. He ignored an offer from the prosecution which would have lessened his sentence in exchange for his testimony against Thomas. He remained silent at the sentencing hearing as the victim's family members begged him to explain what happened and who else was involved.
Nevertheless, Huden's own words — which he allegedly spoke to a friend and his wife — may be used against Thomas at trial.
Huden's friend, Bill Hill, and his wife, Jean Huden, both claim that Huden told them about Thomas' participation in the murder. Thomas is accused of luring Douglas to a rural area of Wahl Road in Freeland with the promise of a Christmas gift; instead, Huden shot him in the head.
Under a rule of evidence, Hill and Jean Huden could testify to third-hand statement, normally inadmissible as hearsay, if Huden is not available to testify for some reason, which could include his assertion of his Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination.
The prosecutor expected Huden, whose case is under appeal, to claim those rights at the hearing Friday, clearing the way for Jean Huden and Hill to testify.
But in a twist, Huden met with his attorney and Thomas' attorney in the jail Friday morning and spoke about the case. Huden allegedly said to Thomas' attorney, Craig Platt of Coupeville, that he had never told anyone that Thomas helped him with the murder. He also made claims against Hill's character.
"His former love interest is on trial and he has every motive to try to work some mischief in the state's case," Banks said to the judge.
During the hearing, Huden took the stand as his former girlfriend and alleged partner in crime stared at him from across the room. He didn't answer any questions, but repeatedly pleaded the Fifth after his attorney whispered in his ear.
Then Huden's attorney, Matthew Montoya of Oak Harbor, was called to the stand and cross-examined about what Huden said to Platt during the morning meeting. Montoya testified that Huden said he never told Hill that Thomas was involved in the murder. In addition, Huden claimed he never said anything to his wife about Thomas' involvement in the murder, Montoya said.
Montoya said Huden invoked his Fifth Amendment rights when asked if he killed Douglas.
Banks grilled Montoya about whether Huden ever stated, point-blank, that Thomas was not involved in the murder. Montoya said he couldn't recall if Huden said that specifically, but that was the general gist of the meeting.
With the unusual turn of events, it was unclear to the judge or attorneys whether Huden has waived his Fifth Amendment rights by speaking with Platt or whether the witnesses can testify at trial about what Huden allegedly said to them.
In the end, Judge Alan Hancock asked the attorneys to brief him on the issues, which will be resolved prior to the Jan. 29 trial.
Later in the hearing, Hancock ruled — over defense objection — that the prosecutor can amend the charges against Thomas to include conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. She was previously charged with first-degree murder.

Stockton Mayor-elect Anthony Silva has made a reasonable recommendation to former Councilman Ralph Lee White: forget the lawsuit.
Stockton Mayor-elect Anthony Silva has made a reasonable recommendation to former Councilman Ralph Lee White: forget the lawsuit.
Silva's suggestion comes in response to White's pledge to press on with an expensive and energy-sapping suit to clarify what the former mayoral candidate believes is a clear City Charter ban on Mayor Ann Johnston's candidacy for a second term.
Of course, as an attorney might say, the issue is moot since Johnston was handily defeated by Silva in the Nov. 6 general election.
To end the lawsuit now, White argues, would cause people to "lose faith in me," a position that assumes the people had much faith in him in the first place. His fourth place finish in the June primary mayoral election doesn't suggest overwhelming support for White or his lawsuit.
Silva proposes a much more reasonable approach. He suggests a charter review committee, even offering White a bone in the form of possible committee membership.
Such a panel, Silva argues, would avoid the city spending more money on lawyers to fight the charter provision White questions and that has been upheld twice by a judge already.
Besides, let's not forget the city already is in court, spending millions to negotiate its bankruptcy filing.
White's suit will be back in court on Feb. 1, giving the property investor and bail bondsman plenty of time to reconsider what's really best for the city.

Police say SUV was overloaded with roofing shingles in fatal I-93 accident
WINDHAM -- A 54-year-old Weare man died after losing control of his Jeep Liberty -- which police said was overloaded with roofing shingles -- on Interstate 93 north near Exit 3 Wednesday night.
State police said Donald Galligan first struck a guardrail on the left side of the highway in the area of the Windham Scales just after 7 p.m. The SUV veered to the right across both lanes of travel, then shot back to the left and crashed into the left-side guardrail.
Galligan was thrown from the 2004 Jeep. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Trooper James Powers said Galligan was not wearing his seat belt.
Both lanes of I-93 north were closed and traffic was directed through the northbound scales for about three hours.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call Trooper Powers at New Hampshire State Police Troop B, 223-4381.

Yesterday we saw Jamie Hince donning a rather hobo-chic look and today we hear that Tony Simm, a Gordon Ramsay lookalike (emm…not quite,) has come forward to tell the world of how he is being verbally attacked as a result of the famous TV Chef's supposed-affair.
Simm, aged 50, tells the Daily Mail that "everyone used to like him, and being his double meant I'd get lots of good attention everytime I left the house. But since the news of him and his alleged mistress hit the headlines, I've been called a love cheat by about 50 angry women of all ages."

Stout Barrel House & Galley
642 N. Clark St. 312-475-1390
Rating: 3 (out of four) Off to a good start
The scene: If the atmosphere at Stout seems at once familiar, it's probably because you've been to Public House, Bull & Bear or Hubbard Inn lately. With oversized chalkboard menus, big tufted leather booths and just enough TVs not to overwhelm, this new tavern shares a lot of characteristics with these other popular after-work spots. Thanks to its slightly-less-trafficked location on Clark, Stout has had plenty of seats available in the early evening hours, gradually filling with 20- and 30-something office workers as the hours wear on. This space used to be home to late-night club Manor, and while the traces of its bottle-service past are gone, the late-night license remains and doors stay open until 4 a.m. (or 5 a.m. on Saturdays).
The food: Stout aims to draw both a dinner crowed and late-night-bite seekers with a lengthy bar and shared-plates menu, with a few entrees (fried chicken, steak frites, fish and chips) for bigger appetites. The bar bites section features a little bit of everything, including a hummus plate with fried pita chips ($8) and a heaping pile of can't-stop-eating-them Animal Fries featuring two kinds of cheddar cheese, bacon and shredded oxtail meat ($8). Chicken wings ($7) come grilled with three dipping sauces: yellow curry, hot sauce and Korean barbecue. If you're into super-spicy wings, ask for extra hot sauce, as the tang of the curry and barbecue skews mild. From 11 p.m.- 3 a.m., a shorter food menu is available, including sliders ($4 each) available in to-go packs of five, ten, 15 or 30, because, well, isn't the reason obvious?
The drinks: Beer is the clear centerpiece here, with more than a dozen rotating craft options on draft from well-loved breweries such as Left Hand, Half Acre, North Coast, Three Floyds, Six Point, Goose Island and Lagunitas. The beer menu also includes a few beer flight options (four 4-ounce samples for $12) and a lengthy bottle list. Wines and a few house cocktails are also available, with the Conquistador earning a place as my stand-out favorite thanks to its crisp-tasting green pepper-and jalapeno-infused tequila.
Bottom line: Stout fits the River North mold through and through, but thanks to its location, you can still squeeze in a post-work drink before it becomes run over with late-night partyers. Be on the lookout for the second floor—formerly called Stay—to open in the next few weeks as an expansion of the downstairs bar.

08/09/2016 15:29 in hotwife
Author's note: It never ceases to amaze me that people read stories online that are entitled "Cuckold," and then get upset (and offensive!) that the stories are about the excitement of having an unfaithful wife. If such a story disturbs you, you can stop reading now. Otherwise, you might be... disturbed.
Also, if you are looking for graphic descriptions of hot sex, you won't find them here. Read on to learn why.
Cuckold Paul
My wife, Sally, and her longtime lover, Ted, re-established their affair last year. What with life, schedules and such, they only get to see each other about once every two months, so when the Big Day approaches, everyone gets excited.
On their last date, I was required to be at work in the late morning and again at night, so they got to be truly alone together for the first time. They had a great time, and were even kind enough to call me from their hotel bed. I had gone home after my first appointment and was masturbating, wondering what they were doing, when Sally called to tell me they had made love and were going to do it again. Then Ted got on the phone and told me how wonderful my wife looked, lying in bed naked with him. To sum it up, a good time was had by all, and Ted and Sally realized they MUCH preferred being alone together, without me watching (as I did when they began) or listening at the door (as I did last year). They both said they hated the thought that they were "performing" for me, and the time alone was much more intimate and much more passionate. Afterward, they each talked to me about what they had done, and told me everything I had missed, which was tremendously exciting for me. Ted has an amazing way of never laughing at me while he tells me all about cuckolding me; it's like he's sharing a wonderful experience with a friend. That makes it a great conversation, and I have the awesome experience of remembering from time to time, "That's MY WIFE he's talking about!"
There were only two things which made Sally uncomfortable about that date. The first was the long drive she had to make by herself to meet Ted – nearly an hour and a half each way. The second was that he knows a number of people in the area where they met, and having lunch together they had to look as businesslike as possible. This was not easy for either of them, as they kept thinking about the bed that awaited them after their meal. So when plans for today's date were made, Sally asked if I would be willing to drive with her, have lunch with them, and then leave them alone while they spent a few hours in bed together. I realized from the outset that it would not be the easiest thing to do, but of course I agreed. I asked only that Sally help me get ready for the experience, too, and she was happy to oblige.
Five days before their date, Sally began to prepare, and to prepare me. She said I was no longer allowed to see her undressed or have any kind of sex with her; she was saving herself for Ted. Every time I tried to peek she'd jump to cover herself, saying, "It's not for you." The only exceptions she made were the two times I helped her to cum, which we did in complete darkness so I could not see her, and as soon as she was satisfied, she pulled the covers back up told me to go jerk off if I wanted. At night she would undress in the bathroom, and she replaced her silk negligee with long, flannel pajamas. As her date approached, she also did away with our long-time rituals of me helping her to shave her legs and prepare her breasts and her pussy; she never said a word about it – she just did it all on her own. She did let me do her toenails, but made sure her legs (and pussy) were covered while I did them. Only once, when I was about halfway done, did she say anything about what I was doing it for: without any buildup she said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing him." Knowing that I was preparing her toes to wrap around him during sex, I nearly polished a racing stripe up her foot!
Two days before their date we made a shopping trip to Victoria's Secret, where she asked my advice on choosing a new bra and panties. Not that she needed them, but we both enjoyed the thought that we were choosing new underwear for Ted to see, and to remove. When we got them home I asked to see them and she said "Sure," but all she did was take them out of the bag and hold them up.
"Could I please see how they look on you?" I asked.
"No, you can't. They're not for you," was her self-satisfied response.
As she instructed, I reserved a hotel suite with a bedroom for them and a living room for me. And Sally had me go to her office and pick up her "white noise" machine. She said the thought that I might be "lurking" (her word) outside the bedroom door was "creepy" (also her word), and she wanted to make sure I could not hear anything while they were making love.
Interesting – that was the first time she ever referred to what they did as "making love," and I asked her if that was the proper way to describe it. She thought for a minute, and said yes.
I chatted with Ted online several times during the week. He was pleased to hear the part about "making love." He was also blunt and not at all shy about telling me how much he was looking forward to his date with my wife. He told me in great detail WHAT he was looking forward to, and I kept wondering what the proper, polite response is when a man tells you that your wife's nipples are delicious, and he can't wait to suck on them. When I figure out the right way to answer, I'll let everyone know; all I could do was cringe a little and masturbate while he described his plans.
He LOVED hearing that my wife was saving her body for him, and that she told me it was not for me.
Ted said he would meet us at 1 p.m., and we planned accordingly. Then, that morning, he emailed me and said he could arrive by 12:30. That's when I realized how serious HE was about his date with Sally.
Of course, Sally dressed in private. When she was ready, she asked me how she looked. I did not know how to answer that, either. She looked beautiful, she looked sexy, but she was not asking me that. She was asking me how she looked FOR TED. "Absolutely great," I stuttered, and we set off.
We listened to the radio, made a few phone calls, and talked about nothing important on the way. Every few minutes I looked over at her and thought about what she was going to do, and the fact that I was driving her. I haven't told her how exciting that was – she'll learn about it when she reads this story.
Just before we arrived, she said, "Thank you very much for driving me," as calmly as if I had given her a ride to the park. I told her she was welcome, and that I hoped she had a very good time with him, and I tried to give her a kiss. She instinctively turned her mouth away from me, as any woman does when she is avoiding a man's unwanted advance.
"It's not for you," she said, and got out of the car to greet him.
Lunch was nice, but strange for me. No sex talk, just conversation between three friends. But Sally made sure Ted sat to her left, so he could see that she had opened one button too many on her shirt. I couldn't see anything, but I could tell exactly when her shirt fell open: Ted's eyes were immediately drawn downward, and I saw him ogling my wife's chest. That itself was not so odd, but the realization that he was enjoying a peek of what my wife would give him after lunch made it difficult for me to swallow my food.
When we (actually, they) finished eating we went to the hotel room together. Once inside, they sat on the couch in the living room. They sat close together, cuddling while they continued to talk about work, life and everything else. From time to time they kissed, and I could see them gently touching each other's leg. I realized that no one would think twice about this picture of a loving couple, sitting and talking together, except that Sally is married to ME, and I was sitting in a chair across from that loving couple.
They talked for about ten minutes, then Ted said, "Well, I've had enough of this. I want to take you inside."
We had talked about what would happen next, but still, it took me by surprise. Sally, still sitting on the couch, turned to face me for the first time. She said, "Ted and I are going to bed now, and we want to be alone together. I really don't want you listening at the door, so please stay here on this couch while we make love, okay?"
I nodded dumbly as Ted took Sally's hand, and led her to the bedroom. Just one pause along their way, as Sally bent over and turned on the "white noise" machine sitting in the hallway outside the bedroom door. Then I heard the door close, and I was left alone.
Less than a minute later, Ted called me from the other room and said they needed my help. All kinds of thoughts raced through my mind: had they decided to let me watch? Or did they at least want me to "help" by undressing Sally before they had sex? I ran into the bedroom, and saw the two of them standing with their arms around each other. Both were fully dressed, except almost all the buttons on Sally's shirt were open (Ted LOVES my wife's breasts, and they have both told me that he dives for them the minute they are alone).
There is no way for a cuckold husband to be cool in such a situation, but I tried to be at least coherent. I asked what I could do to help them. With a slightly evil smile, Ted said, "We'd like you to pull down the covers, and make the bed nice for us."
That was it? No sex, no undressing? My heart sank, but what could I do? I removed the bedspread, then pulled down the sheet and blanket, folding them neatly near the foot of the bed while the lovers looked on. Sally told me to keep the covers where she could reach them, because "I get cold without my clothes on." Without any time to consider the immense sexual significance of opening the bed for my wife and her lover, or of her statement that she would soon be naked, Ted said, "Thank you, now please leave," and I did. To my own surprise, I made sure their bedroom door was tightly closed behind me, and I returned to my place on the couch.
I'd love to give you all the details of what they did during the next two and a half hours, but I have no idea. I'll be honest: several times I left my assigned place on the couch and tiptoed over to the bedroom door. I strained to hear something – anything – from the other side, but all I could hear was the damn noise machine. Later, I asked Sally if they had been particularly quiet making love. She gave me a very surprised look and said, "No, not at ALL." When I told her I didn't hear a thing, she was genuinely pleased.
Denial is a powerful emotion, and I felt all of it. Not just the physical denial of my wife saving her body for Ted, but a strange, psychological denial, too. For a full hour, I actually convinced myself that there was a chance they weren't doing anything sexual at all behind that door. After all, I hadn't seen them undress, I hadn't heard a sound: maybe they just decided to sit and talk? And maybe – just maybe – when they really started to do something, they would call to me again and let me watch?
Oh, sure, I pulled down my pants and masturbated. What else could I do to pass the time? But I found that as excited as I was, I could not get close to cumming. I didn't actually want to cum – I never do while Sally's on a date, because it helps to be very, very horny when dealing with the overwhelming emotions of being cuckolded. But I couldn't even get close, because there was that nagging suspicion – or maybe it was a hope – that they would decide to include me. They KNEW I was right outside, and I knew they hadn't forgotten I was there. Maybe...
One hour after my wife and her lover entered their bedroom, my comfortable little denial-world caved in. I heard the doorknob turn, and I thought, "This is it!" and my cock sprang to attention.
Sally came out of the bedroom, completely naked. She crossed the short distance in front of the sink, went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. I couldn't believe my eyes – literally. I had caught a momentary glimpse of her breasts, her ass, and all the skin of her body. She was naked, and she had just come out of the bedroom - the room where I had seen Ted standing with her. Yes, I know it's stupid to have thought that they were only sitting and talking, but it was not until that moment that the sledgehammer of reality came down on my head, and I knew – KNEW – that my wife had been fucking her lover in their bedroom.
I wanted to meet her at the door when she came out of the bathroom, but I decided to show her I was doing what she asked, so I stayed on the couch. I couldn't wait for her to come over and tell me what they had been doing, and what they were going to do next!
When she came out of the bathroom, she washed her hands at the sink. I could see her perfectly from behind: her head, her naked back, her ass leading down to her slightly-parted legs, all the way down to her bare feet. I sat patiently, quietly staring at her and masturbating while she washed and dried her hands. When she put down the towel, she turned and went back into the bedroom without so much as a glance in my direction. I heard the door click shut behind her, I realized she was not going to share anything with me. Nothing. Not a word.
I came. Hard.
I tried to stop it, because I was overwhelmed with pain and humiliation and I knew as soon as I was done cumming, it would be a lot more difficult to cope with my feelings, but there was no stopping it. After an hour of waiting, after having nearly convinced myself that my wife and that man were just sitting on the bed and chatting, after thinking they would invite me in, after expecting my wife at least to come tell me what they were doing, I was alone with nothing but my own penis, impotently squirting cum all over my hand. As Sally was sliding back into Ted's arms, I sat on the living room couch wishing I could take back the orgasm I was having and wishing I could take back my offer to drive her to her date. But it was too late for both.
Later, I asked Sally if she had thought about talking with me when she went to the bathroom. She looked puzzled and said, "No. Why would I? I didn't come out to give you a show, and I couldn't wait to get back to Ted." Even though she would not tell me that until later, I knew it then; there was nothing phony about her actions or her body language. She had to go to the bathroom, and that was the only thing interrupting her time with her lover.
After I cleaned up, I sat there on the couch wondering what to do now. Now that I knew they had made love, I knew they would do it again. But the excitement was gone, and my cock hung limp between my legs. I tried to get hard again, imagining all kinds of exciting images of them fucking, but it didn't work. The combination of reality and cumming left me empty, physically and mentally. I actually read the newspaper for a while, but found that to be more humiliating than sitting there doing nothing. Real chauffeurs read the paper while waiting to drive their passengers home; I couldn't bring myself to admit that I was nothing but a driver for my wife that day.
I tried listening at the door again, with the same result as before. I tried using X-ray vision as I stared at the wall separating me from the lovers, but to say I'm no Superman would be stating the obvious. A few times I got semi-hard but just could not sustain my erection, and I cursed the damn orgasm that left me feeling that way even as I realized it had been such an erotic experience to have my wife act the way she did.
I didn't even realize another hour had gone by until I heard the door open again. This time it was Ted, and he was as naked as my wife. He, too, went directly to the bathroom, and again, I was struck by the reality of it all: not only had he made love to my wife, he didn't even bother to cover himself when he walked by me. He had taken her, he had been intimate with her, he had made love to her, and he was completely comfortable walking by me in his birthday suit!
When he emerged from the bathroom, the earlier scene repeated itself. He stood at the sink and washed his hands while I stared at the back of the man who had fucked my wife. When he was done he turned to go back to the bedroom, and I saw his penis sticking out between his legs. He was not hard at all, and I knew it was because my wife had satisfied him. I saw him for only a few seconds, yet what I saw spoke volumes: he made love to my wife. He fucked my wife. He came in my wife. Now he was satisfied, and he was soft; that's what happens when lovers go to bed together.
He closed the bedroom door behind him, and I no longer had trouble getting excited. I masturbated as hard as I could, thinking about the one minute of sexual stimulation they had given me in the past two hours, and realizing that they only gave it to me because I was able to see the hallway and the sink from where I sat. I remembered what Sally had told me all week: "It's not for you." And I understood that she really meant it. And so did Ted.
Half an hour later – two hours and thirty minutes after they closed the bedroom door – Ted came out, dressed. The last time I was with them (when I sat and listened at the door while they made love) he talked with me for about five minutes on his way out, giving me some of the highlights of their lovemaking. It hadn't been easy for me, sitting there masturbating while this fully-dressed man told me about fucking my wife, but hey – it was exciting as hell. I was hoping he would do the same this time, and I had already swallowed my pride about jerking off in front of him. But things were different this time and I should have realized it. He looked at me, laughed quietly, and said, "Gotta go. Drive home safely," and he left.
I slowly went to the bedroom door and knocked. My wife said I could come in. She looked so beautiful, lying there in bed covered only with a sheet. I kissed her gently on the cheek, then tried to kiss her on the lips, but she turned away – again. I laid down beside her and she said, "I had a WONDERFUL time. We made love twice, and he made me cum once." I asked her to tell me about it, but she said, "Maybe later." When she moved, her left breast came out from under the sheet, and I stared at it. When she saw what I was looking at she said, "I will tell you that he spent a LOT of time resting his head on my tits and playing with them," and with that, she pulled the sheet up to cover herself.
On the drive home, we talked about the whole experience. I told her it hurt, and it was harder to handle than I had expected, but I was excited by it. She said that she was excited by it, too – and liked it a lot. She liked the way he made her feel, and liked the way I helped her to be with him. She said she wants it to continue – not just her affair, but also my role as chauffeur and lunch companion, and also the way we acknowledge Ted's place in her life.
We agreed that at least until her next date in a month or two, she will continue saving herself for him the way she did before their date. I can help her cum when she wants, and I can even make love to her IF she wants, but I cannot see her naked anymore; that is just for him. If we make love, it will be in the dark; if I help her cum, it will be with a blindfold. Today, we went out to the mall and bought her two pairs of pajamas for her; they are very comfortable, not at all sexy, and they cover her completely. We came home and she went into the bathroom to change into them. When I tried to peek at her while she changed she shut the door and said, "It's not for you anymore; it's only for him." As we sat and cuddled all evening she told me that saving herself for him is a great idea: it makes her conscious of her relationship with me and of her relationship with Ted all the time. As for me, every time I see her all covered up, the overwhelming sensations of staring at a hotel wall and listening to white noise flood back over me. I'm hard most of the day, and all of the night.
She is SUCH an exciting woman. I know it, and so does Ted.

Astronomer Dr. Jason Kalirai of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) has been cited by Baltimore Magazine as one of the "top 40 under 40" up-and-comers in the Baltimore metropolitan region.
The selection, which the magazine does every five years, looks at young Baltimore professionals in a diversity of fields who in the editor's opinion are an exceptional selection of people that will have an important impact on the future.
The 35-year-old Kalirai was selected from several hundred potential candidates to be highlighted in the magazine's October issue.
Senior Editor Jess Blumberg said, "We picked Jason for his lofty goals of trying to understand the origin of the universe. Here is a guy who thinks big. We look forward to him becoming a mover and shaker in the Baltimore community in the coming years."
In addition to his many research achievements, Blumberg highlighted Kalirai's drive to communicate the science case and technology of the James Webb Space Telescope to a diverse set of audiences.
Planned for a 2018 launch, the telescope is the successor to the mighty Hubble Space Telescope and is one of the biggest scientific projects happening in the world. It will travel 1 million miles from Earth, past the Moon, to reveal our clearest and deepest images of the universe to date. About once every month, Kalirai visits communities across the country, including many schools, and engages students on the promising future of space astronomy.
Earlier this year Kalirai was awarded the 2013 Newton Lacy Pierce Prize for his research achievements. This annual prize from the American Astronomical Society (AAS) is given for outstanding achievements in observational astronomy by an astronomer under the age of 36. Kalirai will be presenting the plenary Pierce Prize lecture in front of the society at its January 2014 annual meeting in National Harbor, Md.
Kalirai is the project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope at STScI and an associate researcher at the Center for Astrophysical Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University. He received a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of British Columbia in 2004 and was then selected as a Hubble Fellow postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Kalirai has been cited for his contributions to the field of stellar and galactic astrophysics. His research has led to new insights on the life cycle of stars like our Sun. Kalirai has also devised new methods to measure the age of our Milky Way galaxy.
Kalirai lives in Ellicott City, Maryland, with his wife and twin daughters.

EFFORTS to fight homelessness in York are to be stepped up, to try to prevent people slipping into a dangerous lifestyle.
Rough sleeping in York is less of a problem than in many other cities, but it is vital that new rough sleepers are helped off the streets as quickly as possible, council leaders said.
They were speaking as it was announced that the Archbishop of York will next week launch the city's response to a national project aimed at tackling rough sleeping.
Dr John Sentamu, who chaired the city's Fairness Commission report earlier this year, will unveil the scheme – developed through the Salvation Army, the Peasholme Charity, the Arc Light centre, City of York Council and other bodies – on Monday.
It will outline how York organisations will play a part in the No Second Night Out initiative, designed to ensure new rough sleepers are identified and helped off the streets as soon as possible to avoid them drifting into a dangerous homeless lifestyle. It will also encourage residents to report instances of rough-sleeping, and provide places of safety and emergency accommodation.
The council said rough-sleeping levels in York were "relatively low" but had increased over the last year.
Coun Tracey Simpson-Laing, the authority's cabinet member for health, housing and adult social services, said: "Rough sleepers need support and advice to make the best decision for their health, wellbeing and security, and with reduced funding we need to pool our resources with partner agencies and invite the public to play their part."
Dave Knowles, the Peasholme Charity's chief executive, who chairs York's No Second Night Out working group, said: "We are delighted the Archbishop has agreed to launch this new initiative as it is important we continue to work to reduce rough-sleeping in York, even more so at a time of economic pressures and high demand for housing."
Anybody who is concerned about a rough sleeper they have seen, especially outside York city centre, can phone the StreetLink helpline on 0300 500 0914 or log on to streetlink.org.uk so they can be connected to Salvation Army support services.
