text: I was out of town this weekend, so sorry for the slow response. If I had to choose a six weight to do a variety of tasks including the salt it would probably be a 9' or 9'6" rod with a fast taper and moderately stiff action. Price being no object, I would choose either the 9' 6 weight Streamdance GLX from Loomis or the 9' 6" 6 weight XP from Sage. Both of these have fighting butts and are fast, yet only moderately stiff. ($600's) At a lower price, the 9' 6 weight metolius is a great performing rod, at a much lower price. ($380) Another rod to consider, one that is fitted with trout components yet has a great saltwater action is the Redington C.P.S. ($249) There are other rods that would certainly be good choices, but these are some of my favorites. Anil www.pugetsoundflyco.com

The telecommunication
services and in particular the broadband services are one of the
key communication, information, knowledge, services source
worldwide. At the some time as indicated in the many reports,
Poland is behind in terms of the infrastructure development and
access in comparison to other EU Members. The situation is not
changing even with the add
The aim of the
activities undertaken under Priority III, after the "opening" on
investment land and buildings (priority I) and streamlining the
investment process (priority II), is "opening" of such
infrastructures in the telecommunications access. This priority
were also included in "opening" of another technical
infrastructure (eg.: water supply, sewerage, energy) for
With regard to the
wiring inside-building, it should be noted that it is doubtful
that due to costs, lack of space in cable ducts, and the refusal
of owners, operators chose to reproduce such wiring. Therefore,
the wiring inside-building sharing is a critical element to
ensure effective competition in the broadband arena,
particularly in the FTTx model.
Experience in recent
years shows, for the telecommunications investment needs, the
existing "public" infrastructure can be successfully used - such
as water supply, electricity or sewerage. It is therefore
important to remove legal and administrative barriers
restricting the construction, supervision and maintenance of
telecommunications infrastructure by entrepreneurs and other
individuals possessing the technical infrastructure and
incentives to actively invest, including joint ventures with the
telecommunications undertakings, in particular, as described in
section IV.
Verification and, if
necessary, the optimization require the rules governing the
sharing of infrastructure, both based on access to
telecommunications infrastructure operator with significant
market power and other infrastructure business (Rule 139 Pt.)
The Assumptions Proposed
under Priority III
The Law on access to telecommunications development
within the country and changes to the Telecommunications
Law, Energy Law, Law on collective water supply and
discharge of wastewater:
1) Any person who has
endowed the building of sewage systems or fiber optic
cable is required to take into account the reasonable
requests for access providers, to provide
telecommunications services to end-user. Sewer and fiber
optic cable made available under conditions of
transparency and non-discrimination, to effectively
connect the operators on reasonable conditions, economic
and technical. Any denial of access must be
substantiated. Sewer and fiber optic cable made
available under a contract concluded between the
interested parties. The agreement lays down the
technical and financial access. The agreement is
forwarded to the regulatory authority. Questions
concerning the conclusion and implementation of the
agreement shall be submitted for decision to the
regulatory authority.
2) The operator shall,
without prejudice to the provisions of the Framework
Directive, take into account the reasonable requests of
other operators for access to fiber and sanitation, to
provide telecommunications services to end-user. Sewer
and fiber optic cable made available under conditions of
transparency and non-discrimination, to effectively
connect the other operators on reasonable terms,
economic and technical. The regulatory authority make a
decision concerning the access disputes.
3) For the connections with
speeds above 30 Mb / s[1],
the operator has no obligation to provide BSA. .[2]
4) Units of local government
and entrepreneur, state and private performing the tasks
on general interest, such as water supply, electricity
and gas, construction of roads, sewage treatment, and
conducting other similar activities, hereinafter
referred to as "public entrepreneurs", may also pursue
work related to construction, supervision and
maintenance of telecommunications infrastructure, in
particular, cable ducts. The use of such infrastructure
is paid for, and it is available on the principles of
transparency, openness and non-discrimination and ensure
the development of competition in the telecommunications
5) Units of local government
and entrepreneurs state and private, performing tasks of
general interest, such as water supply and water supply,
electricity and gas, construction of roads, sewage
treatment, and conducting other similar activities,
hereinafter referred to as "public entrepreneurs" have
an obligation to share its infrastructure (other than
telecommunications, referred to in paragraph 4) for
telecommunications on the principles of transparency,
openness and non-discrimination. Implementation of this
obligation can not prevent or significantly impede the
implementation of these local government units and
public utility companies of their tasks, for which
implementation is used this infrastructure. Disputes in
respect of this provision is under a decision the
6) In case of insufficient
coverage of the mobile public telecommunications network
2G and 3G, the regulatory authority after public
consultation and no later than 6 months after entry into
force of the law on access to telecommunications in the
country, shall designate the terms on which will be
introduced the sharing mobile infrastructure, and
population coverage threshold, below which the division
is deployed in the area.
Throughput is set by the authority and it depends on the
state of the market.
[2] BSA is a
wholesale service, at which the operator does not bear
the costs of alternative infrastructure. In the case of
ordinary telephone lines, this problem does not exist,
because the whole infrastructure (cables) have been
built since a long time. In the case of NGN has no such
comfort, as this is a new infrastructure. It is
therefore desirable to get as many players participated
in the construction of fiber (not just TPSA). In France
and Spain (and U.S.) was given to all a very clear
signal, eliminating the BSA fiber optics: do you want to
count on the market? You have to get involved in the
construction of fiber optics. In this way, also assured
the operators that they can count on the return on
investment. However, to facilitate operators the
creation of infrastructure and that infrastructure is
not duplicate, it was ordered to share the links at the
last stretch to the client (from the building or the
street device), and fully share the sewers (to a few
operators did not have to dig the channels next to each
other) . We believe that this is a very good solution.
Five Priorities of Legislation


text:
This invention describes a method of rapid detection of micro-colonies of microorganisms by changing their shape from a regular semi-sphere to a long and thin cylinder. Cells are trapped by filtration in long (diameter/length=1/10-1/100), cylindrical, parallel, micro-channels that are open from both sides, and attached to a filter from one side. A micro-channel plate houses a multiplicity of micro-channels (diameter of each channel=1 -20 μm, and length 100-1000 μm). The micro-channel plate with cells trapped on the surface of the filter is attached to a nutrient media agar block. Cells produce micro-colonies of a long and thin shape according the shape of the micro-channel. The growth of microorganisms in the micro-channels permits a change in the number of cells to accomplish light absorbance. Fewer cells need a shorter time to reproduce. Thus detection and counting of cells can be accomplished in a rapid fashion. The light absorbance can be enhanced by additional coloration of micro-colonies by cell dyes or artificial chromogenic or fluorogenic substrates.
1. A method for rapid detection of one or a multiplicity of cells comprising the steps of:
filtrating a sample comprising one or a multiplicity of cells through one or a multiplicity of micro-channels that are positioned adjacent to and above a filter so as to trap the one or multiplicity of cells with the one or a multiplicity of micro-channels, and wherein the one or multiplicity of micro-channels have a volume of about 1-500 picoliters, and wherein the ratio of the diameter to a length of the one or a multiplicity of micro-channels is between about 1:10 to 1:100,

This application is a continuation-in-part and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/628,110, filed Jul. 28, 2003, and entitled "Method for Rapid Detection of Microorganisms by Changing the Shape of Micro Colonies."
The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for detecting microorganisms. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for rapidly detecting microorganisms during their preliminary growth on or in nutrient media. The invention utilizes one or a multiplicity of long, extremely small micro-channels having a diameter to length ratio between about 1/10 to 1/100 and a volume of about 1-500 picoliters. The apparatus and method function with or without fluorescent aids.
Growing microorganisms in order to detect, enumerate and identify viable cells—bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes—is one of the most widely used procedures in microbiology. The ability to form a colony on or in an appropriate nutrient media is recognized as the most reliable criteria for cell viability. Formation of a colony requires different biochemical reactions and processes like respiration, transportation, synthesis and decomposing of different proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, enzymes, nucleic acids and many other substances, and creation of inner structures in order to finally reach cell reproduction and creation of a colony. The detection of live cells cannot be fully substituted by the simple detection of enzymes (enzymatic methods of detection), purified DNA or RNA (PCR methods), antigen—antibody interactions (Enzyme Immunological Analysis, ELISA, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence, Phagodiagnostics and others), fatty acids analysis (Chromatography), FTIR spectroscopy or other methods. This is due to the presence of specific molecules or even some working systems of the cell, which can be found in dead cells, cells under deadly stress, or cells without access to some required substances that are therefore restricted in growth potential.
Growth of microorganisms takes from hours to several days, or even weeks to form well visible colonies or a visible suspension of cells. The growth occurs either on artificial or natural nutrient media in solid or liquid form. There is a multitude of different media with selective criteria required for growth and total count of groups or species of microorganisms. These include media for growth, detection and enumeration of total number of bacteria (Tryptic Soy Agar and other), fungi, molds (Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, Potato Dextrose Agar and other), selective media for group of microorganisms like Gram-negative bacteria (MacConkey Agar, Levine EMB Agar and other), Lactobacillius (Lactobacillii MRS Agar) or Salmonella (SS Agar), certain microbes like E. coli O:157 (Sorbitol MacConkey Agar), Vibrio chelerae (TCBS Agar), Campylobacter (Triple Sugar Iron Agar) and many others. Growing periods on nutrient media is the most time consuming process in modern microbiological diagnostics. Reducing the time between the inoculation and detection of microorganisms is very important for rapid decisions in quality and process control in a multitude of industries including food, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, water treating industry, and also in medical microbiological diagnostics, environmental and biodefense control and monitoring, and scientific research. Thus, for example, significantly decreasing the time of microbiological analysis together with saving the high level of reliability (i.e., detection by growth—forming of colonies) is very important for modern medical diagnostics for early diagnostics of humans or animals infections, epidemiology, and detection of antibiotic resistant microbes and so on. Rapid analysis (analysis significantly faster than regular growth and further analysis) is also needed in food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological industries for control and prevention of contamination in food, drugs, and medical devices and for environmental monitoring.
The term "colony" or "micro colony" in microbiology means a group of cells appearing from one single cell and consisting only from descendants of that cell. A colony or micro colony can have different shapes: semi-sphere if grown on the surface of solid agar, oval, cone or "star" if grown in solid or semi-solid agar, a dense or diffuse cloud if grown on semi-liquid or liquid media, or flat fibers growing from one center (fungi, actinomycetes, or some bacterial micro colonies).
There are several different methods and instruments employed to enhance colony visibility. The addition of special, non-toxic substances (artificial chromogenic or fluorogenic substrates) to solid nutrient media changes the color of the micro-colonies or makes them fluorescent. Some microorganisms like E. coli O:157, Staphilococcus aureus, and Salmonela grows on "Chromagars," (Hardy Diagnostics, Inc. CA, CROMagar Company, France) a solid or semi-solid nutrient media that specifically changes the color of investigated microorganisms because of artificial substrates for unique enzymes added to media. These substrates are non-toxic to the cells and allow normal growth. Toxic artificial substrates such as Tetrazolium salts, Fluorescein diacetate and other substances can not be used because stops cells growth. Chromagars' time of incubation is typically 24-120 hours, which is not considered rapid.
Detection and enumeration of colonies are done visually with a naked eye or with magnifying devices. Visual detection and enumeration using magnifying devices requires relatively big colonies; from hundreds of microns to millimeters in diameter. Microscopy helps to find micro-colonies that are smaller in size, however, these colonies must be at least tens of microns in size, contain at least several hundred cells, and require at least 10-12 hours of incubation. Additional coloration of these micro-colonies is difficult because cells spread/wash away on the surface when dye solution applied. It is also difficult to find them on a big surface of plate.
Detection of microorganisms could also be achieved by dividing a sample into many discrete zones, adding liquid nutrient media, incubating from many hours to days, adding indicator substance or counting turbid zones, and calculating concentration (U.S. Pat. No. 5,716,798). This method gives a reduction of growth of only 20-40% because employed relatively large volumes of discrete zones, consisting of large wells on the side of a special flask for growth. A 90% of zone volume related to nutrient media and therefore analyzing sample could be only several milliliters. Therefore, this method is used only for the detection of microbes in human blood because blood samples are very small and their contamination is in a range from single cells to several hundred cells per milliliter. The same idea used in SIMPLATE™ device (Biocontrol Systems, WA, USA)—device for growth of microorganisms in liquid media divided on several tens smaller volumes (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,518,892, 5,620,895 and 5,753,456). The time of incubation in the SIMPLATE™ device is 24 hours.
The modern microbiology employs some methods to shorten time for microorganism growth and to improve the visibility of colonies, for example, employing optimal growth nutrient media, adding chemical matter in the nutrient media, or employing optical instruments or devices. However, there are no methods utilizing the shape of the colony during its growth in order to enhance its optical density (light absorbance) or fluoresence. The shape of a regular micro-colony is usually semi-sphere. See
Therefore, there remains a need in the art for new methods and apparatus of early microorganism detection that have quicker microorganism recognition time than existing methods and apparatuses.
The present invention is directed to a new method and device for rapid detection of cellular microorganisms during their preliminary short growth on or in nutrient media.
It is an object of the present invention to change the natural shape of micro-colonies to a long cylindrical shape by growing the colonies in long and extremely small micro-channels that enhances the optical characteristics of the micro-colony and strongly improves the micro-colony's visibility (detectability) with microscope.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an array of micro-channels on a glass plate to trap microorganisms for growth therein, and to provide early visibility. Enhancing of the visibility (detectability) of the micro-colonies shortens the time between inoculation and detection of the colony in several times but retain reliability of analysis.
It is a further object of the invention to provide thin, long micro-channels that are open on both ends. A large volume of sample is filtrated through a micro-channel plate. The extremely small volume of the micro-channels reduces the required growth time to 1-5 hours prior to detection. Growth of microorganisms within these long, thin micro-channels changes the optical characteristics of micro-colonies much faster than growth of micro-colonies in a large flat volume or well that in millions times larger.
This invention differs from prior methods of detection of colonies by using a glass plate containing hundreds of thousands of extremely small and long micro-channels that are open from both ends. The combination of a micro-channels and a filter allows cells to be trapped on the surface of the filter, thus allowing colonies to grow inside the micro-channels. Colonies grown inside the micro-channels will obtain a tall cylindrical shape, increasing light absorbency with a smaller volume and cell number than if grown on a flat surface, drastically reducing the amount of time required for analysis. This method is realized with a simple device consisting of a multiplicity of micro-channels, a filter to trap cells by filtration from air or liquid, and a frame consisting of several parts.
These and other objects of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description of the invention on reference to the illustrations appended hereto.
As used herein, "long" micro-channel here means cylindrical hollow micro-channel with ratio of inner diameter to length=1/10−1/100.
As used herein, "extremely small" means volume range 1-500 picoliters (1/10^9−1/5·10^7 of one milliliter).
The term "colony" or "micro colony" in microbiology means a group of cells appearing from one single cell and consisting only from descendants of that cell.
As used herein, the term "cell layers" refers to cells within a channel that occupy about the same height level, wherein another layer of cells can be supported above the layer. Each cell layer in a micro-channel of diameter 10 μm consists of 20-80 cells.
The shape of a regular prior art micro-colony is usually semi-sphere 101 (
Calculations show the advantage in reducing the time of growth in micro-channel 102 (
Micro-colony with height (h) 10 μm and R=20 μm has volume:
Cylindrical colony with the same height (h=10 μm) and R=2.5 μm has volume:
The visualization of microorganisms in one or a multiplicity of micro-channels is much faster than in Petri plate, regular laboratory tubes, wells or semi-spheres of an immunological plate, or other known laboratory devices for microorganism growth, because of the very small volume of micro-channels and their long cylindrical shape. Thus, one cell trapped in a cylindrical micro-channel, with a length 500 μm and diameter 10 μm (V=40,000 μm3, corresponds to a concentration of 25 million cells per ml (V=1012μm3). Forty cells in a micro-channel correspond to the concentration 10{circumflex over (0)}9 cells per ml, which is a well-detectable concentration. One cell of E. coli can reach this concentration from one trapped in micro-channel cell (40 cells per micro-channel=10{circumflex over (0)}9 cells per mil) in 1.7 hours.
Experiments show that 10 cell layers of colorless small cells (for example E. coli) are enough to find visual differences between micro-channels containing cells and empty micro-channels using a regular light microscope, even with a small magnification X100. A smaller diameter of micro-channel requires a smaller amount of cells to create 10 cell layers in the micro-channel. Table 1 represents the number of layers of E. coli that can be produced in micro-channels of different diameters between one and five hours.
Extrapolated, table 1 shows that 10 cell layers will be reached in a micro-channel with a diameter of 2 μm 1.5 hours; in a 3 μm microchannel in 2 hours; in a 4 μm micro-channel, in 2.3 hours; in a 5 μm micro-channel in 2.7 hours; in a 7 μm micro-channel in 2.9 hours and in a 10 μm micro-channel in 3.5 hours. Thus, the detection and enumeration of long cylindrical micro-colonies, according this invention, can be done 10-20 times faster than regular growth, detection and enumeration of colonies.
The growth of a cylindrical micro-colony can be made in a microarray of micro-channels as shown in
A micro-colony can start formation regardless of initial trapping position within a micro-channel.
The formation of a micro-colony starts only if the micro-channel is completely filled by nutrient substances from wet agar media, or a thick paper filter filled by a nutrient broth. 303—cell was trapped on the filter 103, but was later raised up by liquid media and started forming micro-colony in micro-channel of MCGP 201. In all of these cases, one cell formed a micro-colony of cells that were descendants of the first cell in the solid, semi-solid or liquid culture.
Filtration device 500 is shown to include three separate funnel supports 503, wherein one is used to support SDU 400 with a funnel 504, one for an SDU with a syringe 505, and one for neither 506. As could be reality understood, filtration device can consist of one or any number of funnels supports 503 in any arrangement, wherein the SDUs 400 placed on funnel supports 503 can further include any combinations of funnels 504, syringes 505 or neither 506.
To use the filtration device, a liquid or air sample containing microorganisms is filtrated through the device adjusted to manifold. After adding sample, transparent plate 401 (
After filtration, each SDU 400 is removed from funnel support 503 (
The SDU with nutrient media is incubated at an appropriate temperature for the required time for cell growth, wherein the temperature and time needed will vary as is known in the art with regard to what type of colonies are being grown. In order to reduce the time of analysis by increasing light absorbance or adding fluorescence, the device can be placed in a container with an eligible solution of artificial substrate. Otherwise the substrate can be added to solid nutrient media in advance as it is done in Chromagars.
This invention is capable of detecting a range of cells in a sample from a single cell to several hundreds of thousands or even millions, depending on the number of micro-channels in the MCGP. For example, a 25 millimeter diameter MCGP with micro-channels 10 μm in diameter (square of plate around 5 cm2 and 700,000 micro-channels per one cm2) contains 3.5 millions of micro-channels. In order to have reliability, the number of cells in a sample should be less than the number of micro-channels in MCGP, thereby keeping the allowing no more than one cell per micro-channel. In further preferred embodiments, a ratio of about one cell per five to ten micro-channels is used, to greater ensure that only one cell will enter any particular micro-channel. Thus, for example, with a MCGP having 3.5 million micro-channels, the number of live microbes in a sample would not exceed 700,000 for this plate so that one cell goes to one micro-channel with higher level of reliability. If a sample is expected to contain a higher concentration of microbes, it can be diluted in a manner regularly used in microbiological practice. In comparison, a regular Petri plate limits colony growth from one single colony to only 300 colonies recommended by US Food and Drugs Administration, otherwise colonies will begin to overlap each other and decrease the reliability of enumeration. Thus, current invention allows grow and detect in around thousand times more concentrated samples without ten-fold dilutions: about 700,000 with MCGP and only around 300 by regular Petri plate.
The micro-channels containing colonies appear as dark dots when a regular light microscope is used, as shown in
Many different dyes and indicators used for coloration of micro-colonies. Including but not limited to:
Growth of 5-6 hours is often enough to produce long micro-colonies, and detect and enumerate a large number of non-colored micro-colonies by their enhanced light absorbance or light scattering. For example growth of E. coli in micro channels on TSA around 6 hours at 37° C. is enough to produce micro-colonies visible without of additional coloration.
Physical factors can also be changed to decrease the time between inoculation and micro-colony detection. For example, heating to coagulate proteins, increasing light absorbance or light scattering, or adding substances to produce gas bubbles within micro-channels that contain live cells—such as Oxygen (O2) from Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) by Catalase—can be employed.
Many different kinds of samples, a variety of microorganisms, hundreds of nutrient media, and a multitude of indicator substances opens a huge opportunity for the implementation of this invented technology in the different areas of microbiology.
One of the mostly used nutrient solid media for detection of total viable organisms (mainly bacteria) is Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA). Regular growth of colonies on a Petri plate filled with TSA requires 24 to 72 hours at 35° C. Using the proposed invented method; incubation requires only 4 hours. The procedure for the invented technology is as follows:
Thus detection and enumeration of microorganisms in a sample by micro-colonies method and device can be completed many times faster than when depending upon cell growth on a regular Petri plate.
Micro-colonies can be identified in the micro-channels using enzyme immunological analysis (EIA). Cells are trapped in the micro-channels by filtering a sample as described in Example 1. The use of EIA for the identification of micro-colonies is based on the immunological reaction between antigens of the cells (micro-colony) and enzyme-antibody conjugates. The conjugate is passed through the micro-channels in order to perform antibody—antigen reactions. The syringe shown in
Micro-channel technology can also be used for the rapid analysis of bioaerosols. Air is filtrated through the SDU, which is adjusted to the manifold. The manifold is connected to an air pump (AirCheck HV30, QuickTake 30 or another, SKC Inc., USA). A rotameter for measuring the air volume is installed between the manifold and the pump. A required volume of air is passed through the SDU, and microorganisms present in the air sample are trapped in the micro-channels. Bacilli and Fungi spores are considered the main microorganisms in bioaerosols. Thus, two nutrient media need to be used, TSA for Bacilli and SDA for Fungi spores. This also requires using two SDU. Dormant spores of Bacilli usually germinate within 0.5-1.5 hours after contact with a nutrient media. This time needs to be added to the regular time of Bacilli incubation trapped in micro-channels (4 hours) in order to form a cylindrical micro-colony from the spore. Germination of Fungi spore requires about 2-6 hours, followed by incubation in the SDU of about 12 hours. After micro-colonies from spores appear in the micro-channels, procedures described in Example 1 (detection of the total number of viable microorganisms) or Example 2 (identification of micro-colonies) or other procedures developed for micro-channel analysis take place. Another version of sampling air microorganisms is by first sampling in liquid (sodium chloride solution, buffer, liquid nutrient media) with help of well-known liquid samplers (e.g., AGI-30, SKC BioSampler, SKC Inc., USA) and then filtrated through the SDU. Currently used methods for bioaerosol detection are based on "landing" particles on the surface of agar media (Impactor BioStage, SKC Inc.) or inoculating liquid samples with microorganisms sampled beforehand. Both methods need a long growth period for the microorganisms in order to form well visible colonies: 24-72 hours for bacteria and 72-120 hours for fungi.
Whereas particular embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that numerous variations of the details may be made without departing from the invention as defined in the appended claims.

He touched my breasts, help!
We were sitting together, he put his hand on my shoulder as he usually does. But this time he slid it under my tee. He went as far as touching my... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
He has to respect when your ready to have sex or to get sexual. There's just no going around it. I hate some of the answers who practically suggest he "deserves" it because it's been 6 month. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two years, he still has to wait when your ready to have sex or to do thins that are sexual. If he continues this behavior, then he's one of those rare guys who are willing to wait as long as half a year or more to get what they want. I'd leave him if he doesn't control himself.
Another thing is, he could honestly be a good guy and just be intimidated and just plain horny to want to do something like that. But the thing is, in my experience when I first did this with my ex, I asked her first. I thought it was respectful and genuine to show that I was willing to wait when she was ready. I feel he should do the same thing. So, I really don't like this guy.
Another thing people forget, or even forget to read, is that you mention that you enjoy it. So it's obviously not an issue that your not sexual, but rather than your not fully ready to venture down that road. That's why I think it's unethical for someone else to assume you "should" be doing it after 6 months when your obviously different.
What Guys Said 4
So you're an adult with a boy friend of 6 months, and you're finding discomfort in the fact he wants to touch your breasts...Are you serious?
"I've heard that "If you give them a little ""taste'', they'll just come running back for more."... This scares me"
Why does it scare you? He's your god damn boyfriend, ofc he'll wanna touch you everywhere and you should want him to aswell. The fact he's still with you after 6 months without any physical action shows you mean a lot to him, if he meant anything to you then touching your breasts wouldn't be an issue.
Everyone should have some kind of physical sharing of affection in a relationship.
I think the issues isn't that he touched and touches your breast. If the past 6mos have gone well you should be wanting to touch him too. In this society men have to make the first move to continue the species.
I think the real issue for you is that he didn't talk to you about moving to that level before doing it. Or you have some kind of rape fantasy going on.
Stop focusing on the breast touching, which is appropriate. Start focusing on his lack of communication about it, which isn't. Especially if you and he have not touched each others spots at all before this. You need to stop being so passive and so quiet. This is your boyfriend and your relationship. Take some ownership of it and tell him to back the F off. At the same time you should be interested in touching him and kissing and all but sex if you want to wait on that. He wants to learn how to turn you on physically like he has emotionally and mentally. You should want to do the same at this point. Start communicating damnit! ;-) I suggest that you tell him just to ask first for a while until you get comfortable. If you rather he rubs your booty then tell him he has to rub your booty first! And don't hold it over him like some sort of prize to be earned. Don't be afraid to ask him to let you touch him or for him to do something else to you. It will be fun and awkward and eventually great.
I want to clarify that I assumed that you want to get physical since you made a point to mention that it felt good. That is why I think communication is the issue not the physical attraction.
If you've been together for 6 months I'm personally surprised you two haven't ripped off all your clothes and had amazing passionate sex already. If you two are uncomfortable with physical affection then I guess that's just how it is for you. In his defense though, he's a guy. Guys are gonna look down your top and all kinds of stuff like that because its the nature of the human male unless he's gay, or in rare cases, extremely shy. This sounds like an insecurity issue you have to work out for yourself considering he wants physical affection and you appear not to.
What Girls Said 4
are you sure that your 18-24 cause you sound like a scared 13 year old wait no I know 13 year old these days aren't even this scared...you've been with the guy for 6mos ummm yeah he's a guy and he's going to look at your boobs, get a life this is normal, all guys like breasts, and after 6mos oh heck even I would be trying to get some boob action LOL...
Your telling a girl to get a life? It's her decision when she's ready to be sexual, and he needs to respect that. Not push her to it. Not everyone is sexually the same. I'm a guy and I didn't go pouncing my ex's to cop a feel.
Well, he's a horny guy and can't seem to control himself. Cover yourself up. But I am curious though, how does he handle this? I mean guys need physical contact with girls doesn't have to be sex but I mean like intimate touch, kiss hugs. Do you guys do that?
LOL, that's a good question. Also might explain his behavior. She might be the greatest tease and not even know it.
Have an opinion?

Irish Steam Preservation Society
The Irish Steam Preservation Society was formed in 1965 in Stradbally, in Ireland.[1] Under the auspices of Colonel Kidd, it held the first steam fair in Ireland on St Stephen's Day that year.
The society is responsible for the Irish National Steam Rally, which held its 50th event in August 2014.[2] Additionally, it curates the Stradbally Steam Museum and runs the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge Stradbally Woodland Railway. The railway operates from a station through the woods, returning via a balloon loop. This line is home to former Bord na Móna steam locomotive No. 2 (later No. LM44) which had been built by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. (2264 of 1949). Several diesel locomotives also work on the line, Notably the oldest working diesel locomotive in Ireland(Planet WN 2014 of 1936) "Nippy" and Ruston and Hornsby ESB No 4 "Rusty".

I am in LOVE with this stuff. I had a huge callous type thing on my ankle. Thick, dry skin. It was because I sit on my ankles a lot, but I digress. I have used this stuff for 2 days and my feet are transformed. They're soft and smooth. One foot is back to normal already. The other foot is almost there. I plan on using this tube every night before bed. After that I'll probably use it every other night. It is a bit greasy, but if you wear socks over it like the directions say, by morning it won't be greasy. I'm really in love with this stuff.
I just wish the cap was a flip top. and it could stand to be a little cheaper.
Update: 3/6/2013
It has been over a year since I bought this. Still on the same tube (Though, it is just about empty. Might have one more application left.). and I still LOVE this stuff. I recommend it to everyone. I <3 my coconut foot creme.

After using this for a few nights in a row on my dry, tough but exfoliated feet I just didn't notice a difference like I have with some other treatments. I expected this to be an actual cream but it's pure oil, basically. It's very sticky so I don't think I'll be using it very often, maybe as an all-natural aquaphor or something until the tube is finished. The plus side is that it smells nice without being too overwhelming.

I think this product makes a great foot creme. It is incredibly moisturizing (greasy, too) but it is exactly what your feet will enjoy. I like using this after soaking my feet and scrubbing them. Once my feet are nice, clean and soft I take my time rubbing in a generous amount of the creme and then put on a pair of socks.
This product is so nourishing for your feet and the scent actually grows on you too!

First, let me give some of you a head's up: this isn't so much a foot "cream" as it is a foot "gel." If you are like me and have an image of a thick white cream, erase it immediately because this slight mislead may throw you off. However, despite the initial shock at how greasy and texturally unappealing the "cream" is, it has absolutely transformed my feet. My feet are literally the least cared after parts of my body, but within a week's use, they have become baby soft. And as someone who often wears sandals and flats, my feet were in pretty bad shape before I started regularly using this foot cream. So, if you're looking for something that does heavy duty repairs, I highly recommend you check this one out!

I would think this is the feet healer! I have dry, cracked heels from prolonged standing, and just a night of using this (with socks) healed my dry skin. The bundle I bought came with cute bee socks and bee bedroom slippers. The consistency is thick and you need to take some time to rub it into the dry areas. I love the smell of coconut so this doens't put me off. Use it everyday and you'll wake up with nice, soft feet!

I attest to the greasiness of this product, however like other users I reserve this product for bedtime under socks.
Coconut oil is really tops as far as oils are concerned, and this creme leaves your feet hydrated, moisturized, and feeling so smooth while smelling good, too!
Kinda pricey for a foot creme, but every now and then I will splurge and get this for a treat.

There were some waist high waves out today; I take what I can get. The temperature was like -17c and it was -28 with the wind chill; although, the water felt very warm with my wet suit on. The problem was getting back to the car; my wetsuit froze solid with me in it. I couldn't get my gloves off in order to get my key so I could get into my car; it took me like 1000 hours to get my gloves off; props to my suit for keeping me warm. Next, my finger stuck to the metal of my roof rack strap fasteners; I love these days with no crowds. Winter is my favorite season. There's some big swell rolling this way, should be great.

About the ManufacturerThe history of the ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS brand begins on June 13, 1731 (under the Gemini star sign). It was on that day that knife-maker Peter Henckels from Solingen registered the "TWIN" symbol as his trademark with the Cutlers' Guild of Solingen. This symbol, which is now well-known all over the world, is thus one of the oldest trademarks in the world. Today's name - ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS - was given to the Company by a descendant of Peter Henckels, Johann Abraham Henckels.
