Recently, my kids watched all of the Rocky movies. Are there six? Or twenty-six? The music has been playing on and on in my head! When we watched the last movie, Rocky Balboa, my nine-year-old daughter said, "But Mommy, why did Adrian have to die?" Adrian, for those who aren't familiar with the Rocky series is the prize fighter's beloved wife. The theme of the final movie was as obvious as being punched in the nose. Repeatedly, Rocky said, "It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard a hit you can take and keep moving forward in life." What hit would have KO'd Rocky for the count of ten? The loss of his wife meant more to Rocky than any title belt or fight. That's why Adrian had to die. We had to see if Rocky could recover, grab the ropes and pull himself back to his feet. In every Rocky film there's a sequence of Rocky working out and taking his 'game' to the next level. So, imagine Rocky running up those steps in Philadelphia and celebrating before the big prize fight, that's going to be you when you power up your story with premise.
What is premise? Some people use the terms 'premise' and 'theme' interchangeably. Theme is a recurring fictional idea tested or explored in a novel. Premise is a statement of what happens to the characters as a result of the actions or conflict of a story. Theme and premise are related but not exactly the same.
A theme is broader than the actual premise. It is often a subject that has universal appeal. Universal themes touch something inside each of us that the reader can relate to emotionally. A few examples are: triumph of the underdog (Rocky), fish out of water (Wizard of Oz), innocence/coming of age (Little Women), justice versus injustice (A Few Good Men), finding love (Sleepless in Seattle), etc… A theme will help hold the author to the subject. Often when a writer doesn't know the theme, then the story will wander. When that author rewrites a book (as we all have to do), then the author will need to figure out the theme and justify each scene accordingly.
In my book, Elvis Takes a Back Seat, the theme was 'letting go.' It's a universal theme that many readers could relate to. The heroine of my story discovers after the death of her husband that letting go of an Elvis bust (which she always hated and banished to the attic) is harder than she imagined. When I first wrote that book, it took several chapters before my heroine hit the road to Memphis with her husband's Elvis bust in the backseat of a vintage Cadillac to find the real owner. It was in the rewrite that I had to look hard at several scenes and delete them because they did not feed the theme of the book. They were wonderfully written, I'm sure, but they weren't needed to prove my premise.
Ah, we're back to premise. The premise of your novel is what you're setting out to prove by your story characters and situation. In Elvis Takes a Back Seat, I set out to prove that my character, Claudia, had begun to worship her husband's memory, like an idol, and in eventually pulling him off that pedestal, she was able to let go of him…of their life together…and move forward to find a new future.
For an illustration, let's say you're blindfolded and asked to navigate a strange room. You might have some difficulty. You'd probably bump into furniture, trip and stumble over a table, chair, or even another person. It's difficult to maneuver without vision. That's premise. It is the writer's vision for their novel. It's difficult to plot and write the book if you don't have a vision.
Can an author write a novel without knowing the theme or premise? Sure. But the story will probably wander around unnecessarily. Think of it this way: If you were asked to drive from Dallas, Texas to Tupelo, Mississippi without a map, you might know enough to head east. You might even manage to find a highway that leads to Mississippi but it might take you a while. Eventually, you might stumble across a billboard advertising the birth place of Elvis Presley. And that might eventually lead you to Tupelo, Mississippi. But it will definitely take longer than necessary. You might take a few detours, have to turn around, back track or start over. You might get bored, frustrated, consider quitting. Not knowing the premise of your book is like driving cross country without a map. Now, if I said 'we're going to the South,' that might be the theme. The premise is the map for your story and the actual destination.
So, premise gives you the destination of your story and can actually help you plot. What's the worst thing that can happen to your character? If you're not sure, keep asking, 'why?' That one tiny question is the writer's greatest tool. Keep digging into your character. You will eventually discover your character's greatest fear and the worst thing that can happen to them. Then plot out your story, which is planning the way to your ultimate destination – the end.
In my book, Once in a Blue Moon, Bryn Seymour's worst fear is digging into her past and examining her mother's death. Of which she feels responsible. That fear of her past has kept her from pursuing a future. As a mother herself, she longs to know more of her mother, what she was like as an adult. When she meets a man who knew her mother, Bryn must know more. It takes her on a journey of exploration. His beliefs of a conspiracy involving her mother's death forces Bryn to face her past and prepares the way for her to have a future she never imagined possible.
But when I first met Bryn in my imagination, I didn't know why she was afraid of her past or what exactly had happened to her mother. I kept asking why. I kept at it until I had the answers to the questions which made the book a lot of fun to write, especially with all of the conspiracies thrown in, and also made the book easier to write because it gave me clear focus on where we were going in the story…besides Marfa, Texas.
Next, and here's what many beginning authors don't do, go back to your theme, use that theme in every scene, focusing the story. Get rid of anything that doesn't move your story forward to the ultimate destination. No pit stops necessary along the way. No detours please.
Finally, illustrate the theme through descriptions, analogies and symbolism. Reaching for a happy-ever-after for Bryn was like reaching for the moon. So the moon plays an important part in Once in a Blue Moon. I looked for places where I could use scientific terms or descriptions about gravity and such to emphasize not only the point but also the theme and premise.
All of these techniques will put power behind your words. It will build up the muscles along the skeleton of your story even more. Your words will have power and impact the reader. In the end, your reader won't know what hit them.

Location: Northwest Sustainable Agroecosystems Research2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Past and current farming practices in the dryland region of the Pacific Northwest (PNW, northern Idaho, north central Oregon and eastern Washington) have resulted in excessive soil erosion by wind and water, declining soil organic matter levels, poor N use efficiency and losses of biological diversity. These adverse processes are linked to regional degradation of air, water and soil resources and contribute to GHG emissions that drive climate change. This project addresses knowledge gaps associated with the capacity to understand, predict and mitigate PM10/PM2.5 and GHG emissions from dryland agricultural lands. Objective 1. Characterize key environmental and management drivers of agricultural wind-blown dust and PM10/PM2.5 emissions that will improve process-oriented models and decision aids. Sub-objective 1.a. Determine the relationship between soil wetness/crusting and emission of windblown dust and PM10/PM2.5. Sub-objective 1.b. Determine the biotic factors driving aggregate formation and stability in dryland soils and their influence on windblown dust and PM10/PM2.5 emissions. Sub-objective 1.c. Determine the effect of wind erosion and management practices on soil organic matter (SOM), soil biological communities and other soil characteristics. Objective 2. Develop techniques for identifying sources of PM10/PM2.5 to better associate management practices with PM10/PM2.5 emissions and to corroborate models. Sub-objective 2.a. Determine the efficacy of FAME and tracer methods in discerning soils contained in various mixtures. Sub-objective 2.b. Determine point source soil movement and FAME efficacy using known microbial tracers. Sub-objective 2.c. Determine the effectiveness of using FAME fingerprinting to corroborate the Columbia Plateau regional dust transport model. Objective 3. Characterize roles of environmental and management drivers on soil C and N cycling as factors regulating GHG (N2O, CO2) emissions from agricultural soils. Sub-objective 3.a. Determine soil C sequestration rates and CO2 flux as influenced by agroecosystem drivers (e.g. soil, topography, micro-climate, organisms, management). Sub-objective 3.b. Determine biogeochemical dynamics of soil C and N including N2O flux as influenced by agroecosystem drivers (e.g. soil, topography, micro-climate, organisms, management). Objective 4. Develop agricultural PM10/PM2.5 and GHG mitigation strategies and management decision aids for Pacific Northwest cropping systems. Sub-objective 4.a. Determine the effectiveness of alternative tillage and cropping practices in reducing the emission of windblown dust and PM10/PM2.5 from agricultural soils. Sub-objective 4.b. Develop precision N management practices that increase N use efficiency and decrease N2O emissions.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
1a. Sediment and PM10/PM2.5 flux, will be evaluated as a function of soil water content/matric potential & crust type/cover/thickness for five major soil types using a portable wind tunnel. Crust type & morphology will be ascertained by microscopy & PLFA & FAME analyses. 1b. Soil aggregate properties will be assessed under a range of crop & tillage systems being examined to control wind-blown dust. Soil aggregate size classes from different crop & tillage systems will be analyzed to identify microbial community composition (PLFA & FAME analyses), active SOM, C source & crushing strength. 1c. Long-term cropping system studies at Lind, Pullman, & Ritzville will be used to assess impacts on soil quality over time including bulk density, soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic C & N, aggregate size distribution, N movement & soil microbial constituents. 2a. Ongoing research will fingerprint soils & PM10 material from across the PNW using FAME. 2b. Bacteria & fungi containing natural markers will also be evaluated as tracers that can be retrieved from soils due to their unique traits of antibiotic resistance or strain-specific molecular markers to determine point source soil movement. 2c. The FAME & bacterial tracer studies will be used to aid corroboration of the Columbia Plateau regional dust transport model by: (1) determining if modeled emissions are from given fields or grid areas; & (2) characterizing the mode of transport from given regions. 3a. Studies are part of GRACEnet (Greenhouse Gas Reduction through C sequestration & Carbon Enhancement Network) & REAP (Renewable Energy Assessment Project), established to assess management impacts on greenhouse gas emissions & soil C status. We will assess tillage & crop rotation affects on soil C storage across variable soil & terrain attributes of the WSU Cook Agronomy Farm (CAF). 3b. Two studies will assess management & environmental effects on soil C and N cycling & GHG emissions. The first study (CAF) was previously described in sub-objective 3a. The second study was established in 2001 at the USDA Palouse Conservation Field Station & consists of five different farming systems including no-till, perennial biofuels, organic, & native perennials. These two field studies will be used to assess soil gas (CO2, N2O) flux, N mineralization-immobilization-turnover & soil C accumulation. 4a. A portable wind tunnel will be used to assess differences in windblown sediment & PM10/PM2.5 emissions among tillage & cropping systems established at various locations across the Columbia Plateau. Wind speed profiles will be measured using pitot tubes, sediment catch obtained using an isokinetic vertical slot sampler, & PM10 concentration profiles obtained using DustTrak aerosol samplers. 4b. Field studies at the CAF will evaluate two N management treatments for winter & spring wheat: (1) site-specific N management based on the spatial pattern of input variables; & (2) uniform N management. N use efficiency will be evaluated to monitor cropping system N use, assess N management strategies & identify key areas for improvements. Replacing 5348-11000-005-00D(2/10)
3. Progress Report
Objective 1: To discover the influence of cropping systems on soil aggregation that protect soil from erosion, long-term cropping system studies from three precipitation zones of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) were sampled by USDA-ARS scientists. Samples were characterized for soil aggregation, microbial community structure, enzyme activity, pH, EC and carbon. Greater understanding of management impacts on soil aggregation will aid the development of practices that enhance soil resources by controlling soil erosion and promoting soil C sequestration and improve air quality through mitigation of dust emissions. The long-term sites were also sampled to assess management impacts on soil quality and to further understand soil degradation processes. Objective 2: To understand and predict dust emissions from agriculture, USDA-ARS scientists characterized soil microbial communities in soil and PM10 material at locations across the western US. ARS scientists also worked on improving fingerprint methodology by applying micro-organisms to soil as tracers that could provide a powerful tool for understanding dust emission source and fate. Here, soil containing marked strains of bacteria (tracer organisms) created a unique fingerprint that was identified and traced using microbial analyses. Objective 3: A field was sampled by USDA-ARS scientists to assess topography, micro-climate, crop rotation and tillage management effects on soil C sequestration rates and N cycling. Long-term cropping system studies were identified to assess soil C and N dynamics including greenhouse gas (GHG) flux to understand and measure emissions of GHG's from agriculture and develop improved technologies and practices to manage emissions. Field studies with different N fertilizers were conducted by ARS scientists to determine if GHG emissions could be reduced with the use of polymer-coated N fertilizers. GHG emissions were monitored weekly to assess emission reductions due to the type of N fertilizer used. Objective 4: In cooperation with Washington State University (WSU) scientists, USDA-ARS scientists initiated a study to assess windblown dust and PM10 emissions from agricultural soils with irrigated cover crops. Data on soil properties and PM10 emissions were collected from two sites in spring 2011 where mustard had been incorporated into the soil the previous winter. This study will aid in developing management practices that suppress dust emissions and improve air quality. Field studies were conducted by ARS scientists to evaluate wheat plant density and N fertilizer effects on N use efficiency (NUE). Preliminary results show that NUE can be increased by targeting wheat stand density and N fertilizer rates to specific field locations.
4. Accomplishments
1. Impact of stricter PM10 air quality standards. Air quality specialists are uncertain whether the stricter PM10 Air Quality Standards being considered by EPA will affect air quality in the region. In cooperation with a regional air quality specialist, ARS scientists found that stricter PM10 Standards may cause more violations of air quality standards in eastern Washington. To comply with stricter PM10 Standards, air quality specialists in the region will rely on the Natural Events Policy to comply with air quality regulations. In addition, the wheat growers must utilize the best available land management practices developed by ARS scientists to reduce PM10 emissions from agricultural lands.
2. Soil organic matter increased in no-till. Stubble burning has been a management tool for irrigated wheat in the Pacific Northwest. Concerns about air quality, however, led ARS scientists in Pullman, Washington, in collaboration with Washington State University scientists, to initiate a 6-year field experiment investigating soil quality of a no-till irrigated winter wheat - spring barley - winter canola rotation with residue retained, mechanically removed, or burned after harvest. Continuous winter wheat planted into plowed burned stubble was included as a check. Soil organic matter increased each year with no-till at the 0 to 8 inch depth. The annual winter grass weed downy brome was problematic for winter wheat in the standing and mechanically removed stubble, but was controlled in the no-till stubble burned and the burn/plow check. Winter wheat yields trended higher in all no-till residue management treatments compared to the burn/plow check; however, all no-till systems lost an average of $389 per rotational ha. Although the performance of no-till or a wheat-barley-canola rotation was not economically viable compared to the conventional tillage wheat rotation, producers can enhance soil quality or decrease the incidence of pests using no tillage and alternate crop rotations.
3. Rapid assay for prediction of residue decomposition. Wheat and barley cultivars that do not rapidly decompose have hindered the implementation of conservation farming systems and reduced-till and no-till seeding in the dryland Pacific Northwest. Additional knowledge on cereal straw decomposition will allow growers to design crop rotations that promote the adaptation of reduced-till and no-till seeding. ARS scientists in Pullman, Washington, in collaboration with Washington State University scientists, have developed a quick method using near-infrared technology to identify the fiber and nutrient composition of spring wheat, winter wheat and spring barley straw as well as predicted the straw decomposition among different crop cultivars. Information on differences in straw decomposition among wheat and barley cultivars will assist growers in selecting cultivars for reduced tillage systems.
4. Weed seeds defend themselves from microbial attack. The weed seed bank can persist for years due to seed dormancy and resistance to seed-decay microbes. Weeds defend themselves in many different ways and in some cases the attacking microbe plays a part. ARS scientists in Pullman, WA, in collaboration with Washington State University scientists have found that certain seed decay microorganisms stimulate the production of a weed seed defense enzyme and make the enzyme even more active. Identifying microorganisms that do not cause this defense response, but do cause seed decay, may lead to crop management strategies that increase seed decay and reduce the weed seed bank. This information can be used by scientists, land managers and others to reduce invasive weeds, promote native plants, and keep cover on the land to reduce wind erosion.
5. Wild oat seed decay rating scale. Wild oat is an annual grass weed that is troublesome in cereal crops throughout North America, Europe and Australia. Few herbicides are available for wild oat control, yet development of weed populations that are resistant to the most commonly used herbicides is widespread. Identifying pathogenic and deleterious microorganisms may lead to crop management strategies that promote weed seed decay and reduce seed longevity, such as altered cultural practices (tillage, rotations, or soil amendments) or by inoculation of soil with deleterious microorganisms. ARS scientists in Pullman, Washington, in collaboration with Washington State University scientists, have developed a method to screen seed fungi for their seed decay potential. Fifteen percent of the seed microorganisms tested resulted in decay symptoms on wild oat seed. A seed-decay rating scale was developed that ranged from 0 to 5. The procedures developed here can be used by scientists and technical personnel to investigate the potential of seed and soil microorganisms to decay seed and development of weed biocontrol.

The car was stuffy and full of stale air. I looked longingly to open the window in front of me but I couldn't move an even an inch to get to it. I was stuck to the black leather seat beneath me, and the fact that Brian was lying on top of me didn't help matters. I could tell I was naked, even though I couldn't see any of my body. Besides the lack of fresh air, I didn't mind the position I was in. I had bunched up my trousers and used it as a pillow and Brian had found a picnic blanket in the boot of the car that he threw over us. I thought about the boy lying on top of me, the 17 year old heart throb that everybody wanted to be fucked by. It wasn't exactly romantic, but neither was Brian. He was mostly a dick, an extremely sexy and seductive dick. I could smell the dried sweat on his neck. I wanted to kiss his skin, but he would wake up if I did, and I wasn't ready for that just yet. I closed my eyes for a few more minutes and let my mind wander...
It was Adam's 13th birthday and he had invited me over for a sleep over. I arrived at his mansion in the late afternoon and was directed by the butler to a room upstairs where I could dump by bag. The room in question had a balcony and I wandered over to it. The entire garden could be seen from this vantage point. I scanned the grounds looking for signs of life, when something caught my eye. It was a tent. A tiny, red tent had been pitched almost in the dead centre of the garden. I saw the butler walk out to the tiny, red tent and talk to it. Something rustled inside and after about two seconds a boy popped out from a slit in its side. He and the butler exchanged a few words. When they were done speaking, Adam looked up at me standing on the balcony. He waved. I waved back. He motioned for me to come down. I exited the bedroom, hurried down the large curving staircase, and crossed the living room area, walked out of the house and down the terrace steps to the garden below. When I got to the tent I greeted him with a hug. I could feel it, my body buzzing at the touch of him. I could feel it in him too.
"Happy Birthday," I said.
"Thanks, I'm a whole year older than you now." He said, smirking.
"No you're not," I counteracted, "My birthday is in two weeks."
"Well, I'm still older. You know what that means."
I paused and waited for him to respond to his own statement. He didn't.
"I don't, what does it mean?" I asked matter-of-factly, even though I was terribly curious to find out what he meant.
"I can tell you what to do. And you have to listen to me," He said seriously.
"You can't tell me what to do because you are older than me by two weeks," I objected.
"Yes I can," he insisted.
"No you can't," I insisted back.
"Well, what about this instead. I can tell you what to do, and you have to listen to me because it's my birthday," he compromised.
I thought about it. He gave me an imploring look and I caved in.
"Okay, only because it's your birthday," I said. He smiled and my heart melted.
"Hey, I pitched a tent for you," he said. We both burst out laughing.
"Yeah maybe I'll unzip it and explore what's inside," I said, and we laughed hysterically again.
"It's bigger on the inside, than it looks on the outside," he blurted out as we collapsed on the ground, clutching our tummies.
While we had been rolling around on the lawn, our laughter dissipating slowly, the butler had brought a load of refreshments for us to snack on.
"So where are your parents?" I said. We had recovered from our laughing fit, and were sitting at the edge of the pool drinking lemon ice tea.
"They are away, on business," he replied.
"Oh, sorry,"
"It's okay, they gave me my birthday gift before they left," he said.
"What did they get you?"
"A fancy pen set, Mont Blanc," he answered.
"Parker wasn't good enough for you," I said jokingly. He nudged me gently with his shoulder in response to my sarcasm.
We sat close to each other. Our shorts were pulled up high and our thighs were touching. We spoke about many things ranging from our summer holidays to the beginning of school and the new teachers we had been assigned. Every now and then I would rest my head on Adam's shoulder. Sometimes he's respond by putting his cheek on my head. We sat there, like that for a few hours, soaking up each other as well as the dying rays of the setting sun.
It was near midnight and Adam and I were lying on a blanket outside interpreting the velvet sky. So far we had derived two possible Southern Crosses, a definite Orion's belt and perhaps ten Capricorn constellations, both of our star signs.
"It's really warm tonight." He said, turning his head to look at me.
I looked back at him and waited for him to suggest something.
"We should take a dip in the pool," he suggested, and with that he stood up, stripped naked and ran to the pool.
He looked back at me, still in a stunned state, and jumped into the deep end. I stood up, and stripped more slowly, looking around to see if any of the help were still around. When I saw that we were all alone, and everything around us was mostly darkness, I ran to the pool and jumped into the deep end with Adam. We raced and wrestled in the water for about half an hour. There's something about water that changes they way we feel each other in water. The way the liquid flows over our bodies, encompasses our bodies so completely, it's as though we become one with it. We became the dense, dark patches in the pool and when I touched him, it was merely a caress and when he held me, I slipped easily from his arms. It seemed as though the nature of water was keeping us apart, and from becoming attached to each other too deeply.
When Adam had one his last race and overpowered me in our final wrestling match, we climbed out of the water. Adam retrieved a towel from the tent put it over my head, drying my hair. I stood dead still as he moved the material over my entire body before using the same towel on himself. He tossed the towel on the grass began walking in no specific direction.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I need to pee," he said and wandered off to the edge of the garden to relieve himself.
I meanwhile crawled into the two man tent.
He returned five minutes later. He joined me in the tent and collapsed onto the double-person inflatable mattress next to me. Now, instead of the sky, we stared up at the ceiling of the tent. I turned on my side to face him. I placed my hand on his bare chest. He responded by putting his hands behind his head. I kissed his arm and then just below his armpit. I got up and stood on all fours over him. I lowered my head to his and our lips touched. I loved it when we kissed. With Adam it was a luxury. Even though he had been the one to kiss me first on the beach that day, I have had to be the one to initiate it ever since. But when he allowed it, it was amazing. His mouth opened and our tongues met and made love. His hands moved down to my rib cage and our kiss broke. I kissed his neck and worked my way down. His collar bones, his nipples, his abs, his navel. I could already feel his erection against my neck, as I worked my way towards it, leaving a glistening trail of precum across my skin. I reached his cock and immediately took the head into my mouth. Not before long, I had him all the way to the back of my pharynx, and pretty excited too. His hands roamed through my damp hair. I knew he was close when he reached for my shoulders. I removed my mouth from his groin and wrapped my hand around his stiff member.
"Wait," he said before I could jerk him off to completion.
"What's wrong?" I said removing my hand completely.
He thought for a moment before speaking.
"I want to cum in your mouth. I want you to swallow it," he said confidently.
I was silent, not sure what to say. I had never tasted him cum before. He had always cum in my hand or on my chest or back before, but never in my mouth. I wasn't sure that I wanted him to in all honesty.
"What if I don't like the taste," I finally said.
"Then we won't do it again," he said. I still wasn't convinced.
"I don't really want to Adam," I said softly.
We were quiet for a few moments before he spoke again. He sat up and shuffled closer to me so that our faces were an inch apart.
"Do you love me?" he asked.
The question hit me like a bullet in the chest. There was only one answer to that question, and perhaps he knew that.
"Yes," I answered. He kissed my cheek.
"Then you'll do it for me, because you love me," he posed. He kissed me lightly on the lips.
"Okay," I said.
He smiled and rested on his elbows. I went back to work on his cock. He came quickly and compensatory, spewing enough cum for all the other times he had not come in my mouth. I swallowed quickly trying not to spill any. When he was done I removed myself from him and wiped the cum from the edges of my lips. He smiled and beckoned me towards him. I accepted the kiss he gave me, I accepted the warmth of his body pressing up behind me and I accepted the arm on which my head now rested. Above all, I accepted him because I loved him.
I felt Brian's morning wood develop and press against me. A few minutes later his body moved and his eyes opened. He lifted himself slightly and looked at me underneath me.
"Hey," he said.
"Hi," I replied.
He lowered his head back into my neck and arched his back, pushing his crotch into mine. The hair on my arms rose ever so slightly as he kissed my neck. He came up for air and kissed my mouth.
"I have a hard on," he said.
"I can feel," I said smiling slightly, knowing exactly what was on his mind.
He rose to his knees. I parted my legs so that he was kneeling between them. He grabbed a new condom from the floor of his driver's car, which we had stolen from last night's charity gala that we were both attending.
He put on the condom and lubed us both using copious amounts of saliva. He entered me fast, smoothly and relatively painlessly, my ass not quite having recovered from last night's fucking. He kneeled over me and I lifted my legs so that they were on either side of his head. His thrusts were hard and deep and as he pulled out, slowly and almost completely, every nerve ending he touched twitched with excitement. He kissed me as he fucked me, which was quite unusual for him, but pleasant nonetheless. After a few minutes of being pounded slowly by his ever growing cock, his pace quickened. Suddenly I was in the throes of an orgasm, my toes curing against the ceiling of the car and my hands gripping Brian's neck.
I pulled him towards me, when between our kisses he said, "I want to cum in your mouth."
"What?" I said, not sure what else to say.
"I want you to swallow my cum," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you like me, and you like it when I fuck the shit out of you," he spoke the truth.
"Okay," I said, unsure whether his reason was a valid one or not.
Brian removed himself from me, pulled off the condom and scooted up so that he was "squatting" over my face and directing his cock at my mouth. He jerked his foreskin violently back and forth until streams of jizz jetted from his piss slit and into the back of my mouth. He continued to dip his cock into my mouth and I sucked on it until he felt ready to remove it.
Brian moved back to his original position and sat up on the seat. I sat up too. He began dressing himself in his previous night's clothes, a black tuxedo, and I did the same. When we were both completely dressed we climbed out of the backseat of the car. He moved to the driver's seat and I to the passenger's seat. I cracked a window open and looked outside. I noticed the beach directly in front of me and remembered we had gone skinny dipping last night due to the intense Durban heat. The sky was a yellow grey as the sun tried to burn through the now overcast sky, and as Brian started up the car and began driving away from the shadowy ocean water it began to rain. He looked at me, smiled and pinched my cheek; a show of tender affection and cruel dominance.

Peeking at your calendar once October is over can be a little frightening. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and holiday parties seem to creep sooner and sooner each year. But don't fret! With a little planning and prep work you can smoothly sail into the entertaining season.
Pantry Prowess
Take stock of your pantry, fridge, and freezer to clear out any expired ingredients. Check your supply of favorite holiday ingredients, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Dried and ground herbs and spices lose their potency after six months to a year, so if you haven't refreshed your supply since last holiday season, now's the time!
If you love giving baked goods for the holidays, be sure to stock up on the basics. Flours, sugars, and butter all get plenty of use during the season, and canned pumpkin and dried fruits are holiday favorites that keep well.
Menu Master
Start planning your menus now so you can space out prep work. Making piecrusts, sauces, and more ahead of time can be a sanity saver on the big day.
Now's the time to do recipe run-throughs if you're tackling a new-to-you creation. You don't want to be stuck with a subpar side dish or bland pie when you're entertaining, so try recipes ahead of time. Space them out through the month so you don't get seasonal recipe fatigue!
Once you've got the menu planned you'll be ready to go grocery shopping. Buy pantry and freezer items now, plus produce that keeps well, like hard winter squashes. With these items in hand, the week-of shopping will be a breeze!
Not sure where to begin? Check out our Thanksgiving Menus for inspiration from classic to creative.
Putting together a guest list early will help you set the menu (Cousin Mary doesn't like Brussels sprouts!) and determine the size of your party. Be sure to note everyone's special diets – even if you're eating vegan, gluten-free, or have a nut allergy, the holidays are still important to celebrate! Having dishes that are accessible to all your guests is the mark of a great host.
Make a List, Check it Twice
Just writing down your tasks can reduce holiday stress. Divide them based on the occasion or go week-to-week. Don't forget simple items like "vacuum" and "get out the nice dishes". With everything written down, you'll be able to see what can be taken care of quickly, what needs more time, and what can be delegated to other family members.
Remember, the holidays don't have to be stressful. Use these tips to help you succeed all season long, and more importantly enjoy your celebrations.
What do you do to help you get ready for the holidays?
From carving with confidence to pouring with pride, our online Holiday Cheat Sheet means more of your best for less stress. Order holiday meals online too; we'll do the work, you'll take the credit.

How to have a summary of the form fields data?Asked by max123jot on February 18, 2017 at 05:40 PM
dear folks
for this form, the users will input information
for example that in the first section, pediatric caregivers.
i would like to know how to use JOTFORM so the information in these fields is presented as a "summary" in the section "summary report"
i have explored the possibility of using update/calculate field, but am thinking this is too "clunky"
you expertise is always eagerly awaited by me

What's new in 2017?
As the new manager of the Market, I am very excited about what 2017 will bring!
There is much going on and we hope you will continue to support all our businesses.
- The Market Café is now being operated by Redhead and the Chef. They've done a lot of work to spruce up the space and their menu looks amazing. It will take a few weeks for their full menu to be put in place, but we trust you will love it as much as us! Their food has been very popular on Wednesdays upstairs and now they'll have full cooking facilities, so much more opportunity to be creative and incorporate our other vendor's products. We'll feature them soon on the website.
- Mini-Market Wednesdays is new – previously Wednesdays was confusing for shoppers (were we open or not?). Now, our focus is consistently being here to provide shoppers with all their local grocery needs twice a week. Wednesdays are great to get a meal to eat in or to go, to have a coffee while getting all your supplies. If you find Saturdays are too busy, then Wednesdays will be perfect. Upstairs will be closed, but it is of course open each Saturday for the full Market experience. Full Wednesday Markets will be back on May 23.
- Upstairs many vendors are moving around:
- The Octilius Group is taking over a whole space
- Sumac Hill Creations and Creative Cliffs are moving in together
- Duncan Weller is moving upstairs to create a whole gallery/book space
- We have an empty space that we are excited to fill very soon… stay tuned!
- The General Store continues to expand their offerings, with many different local products added. Their webpage has been recently updated and more will be added.
- Downstairs, H & P Jams & Jellies has moved from the middle to the front of the building, plenty of room for all their delicious jams! We are welcoming Steve's Bakery (Finnish breads and other delicacies) on Wednesdays, and Olga's Tasty Bits (Austrian pastries) will be joining us both Wednesdays and Saturdays in mid-January.
- We are looking to change up our seating for visitors and those enjoying breakfasts or dinners at the Café. We've also bought two highchairs! You'll see some other changes coming shortly. If you know of a local furniture maker, send them to this page!
- We plan to start letting you know more about how shopping local impacts our community. We also want to feature vendors that have started their business here, and then grown through your support into having their own shops. We are so proud to have been involved in their development and are looking to support start-up businesses in a number of new ways.
- The website will be evolving in the next months. We anticipate a full vendor profile on each vendor – where to find them, a bit more about them, and have a comprehensive list of everything available for sale here each week.
- We are generally sprucing up the place, doing deep cleaning, getting news signs and some painting. I look forward to hearing what you think – please feel free to find me at the Market or to email me with any questions or concerns.
And of course, I'm new. Hi, I'm Annet Maurer. I started with the Market as the Manager in late November 2016, taking over from John Graveson who was with the Market for almost 18 years and has now retired. I was previously at the Law School with Lakehead University, involved since before the students started. Prior to that, I lived in Australia for over a decade with my Aussie husband and our son and have been to a wide variety of different markets across Europe, Australia and even Ethiopia. I'm excited to bring some of those ideas here to Thunder Bay. I grew up in Thunder Bay, am a Hammarskjold Viking at heart, I love to cook, and I am proud to #ChooseTbayFirst when it comes to shopping. Welcome to our Market.

AbstractPurpose: Metastatic breast cancer has remained as an incurable disease. The mainobjectives of treatments include alleviating of symptoms, delaying diseaseprogression and increasing survival without any adverse effect on the quality of life.The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of someclinocopathological factors on the survival of patients with metastatic breastcarcinoma in our institute.Patients and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we reviewed the files ofpatients who were metastatic at presentation or became metastatic during follow-upand were referred to oncology department of Omid Hospital affiliated to MashhadUniversity of Medical Sciences from 1997 to 2007. The information regardingclinicopathological characteristics were recorded. The first line chemotherapyregimen was as follows: 79 CAF (cyclophosphamide, doxurobicine, 5FU), 25 CMF(cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5FU) and 11 Taxene based; AT (doxorubicin,paclitaxol) or TAC (taxene, doxurobicine, cyclophosphamide).Results: 115 patients with a median age of 45 (range, 25-78) were investigated.The median follow-up time for all patients from diagnosis was 21 months (range, 5-74 months) and from metastatic manifestation was 12 months (5-36 months). The sitesof recurrence or metastasis were as follows: 18 (15.7%) local recurrence, 23(20%)bone and 74 (64.3%) visceral metastases. The median and 2- year overall survivalfor all patients with metastatic disease were 15 months and 44.6% ± 6%respectively. Patients with bone metastasis had a significantly better overall survivalcompared to those with visceral metastasis. (74.2%vs.36.1%, P= 0.04) Among thosepatients who were non-metastatic at the time of referral, the time left to metastasishad a significant effect on the overall survival from metastasis manifestation. Incomparison with premenopausal patients, the overall survival was relatively better inpostmenopausal cases. (59.4% vs. 38.5%, P=0.1)Conclusion: In our study, disease free survival (DFS) was the most important factorfor overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The patients with longerDFS (>18month) had better overall survival. Overall the patients with bonemetastasis had better survival than visceral metastasis.Keywords: prognostic factors, metastatic breast cancer, disease free survivalReferences1.

By Hejin
We think about sexual violence not only in a very binary way. In a very one-directional way: men commit it, women suffer it.
However, looking back this just doesn't add up. I look upon my life, and I think about the sexual violence I have endured, and it was not just the hands of cisgender men. My experiences of violence, even those outside the binary narrative of men on women, are not unique, and recent conversations have made me think this through even further.
My own experience has been further coloured by the fact that this happened to me long before I transitioned. Being a trans woman (who also happens to be a lesbian) I have often justified incidences so as to avoid terming them as instances of sexual violence, which, even in retrospect, are so much stronger and prevalent then when I have faced sexual violence at the hands of men. The idea that a woman can be a perpetrator of sexual violence is so strange to people, yet it is something that happens. It is something that is often ignored, or seen as, somehow, less violent.
One harrowing experience involved me waking up in the middle of the night at a party – we were all sleeping over, and sharing a bed – to a friend being raped by another lesbian there. It is a moment where one just doesn't know what to do. Despite my own experiences, the situation still was so surreal. It took me a moment to intervene and shield my friend from the woman who was forcing herself on her. In the aftermath of it, the argument was simply made that 'there ain't such a thing as lesbian rape'. In the end it became something that was never discussed again, the entire idea was seen as too silly, too ridiculous.
Women are as capable as men of committing rape, in being perpetrators of sexual violence. In an anonymous experience posted on Everyday Feminism, a woman who shared her experience of being raped by another woman compared our inability to see women as rapists to the argument that sex between two women isn't really considered to be sex. This resonated to me so clearly, the entire idea of rape and sexual violence in society is based on the idea that there is the "masculine" that acts violent to the "feminine"; the latter here is seen as being unable, not just to be sexually aggressive, but to be sexual without the "masculine" present. Somehow, even among lesbians we stick to this idea, despite that it is the same argument that is made to invalidate our own sexuality.
I have asked myself at times what this means when it comes to sexual violence in lesbian communities. Do those who are perpetrators not think they are doing anything wrong? Part of me thinks that some seriously believe that, because they are women, there is nothing wrong with what they do. It does not matter whether the sex is consensual or not
The question is how do we address this? We think about our communities as 'safe spaces', but how safe are they really? When violence is perpetuated but then cloaked in silence?
I have heard people chalk what happens to 'lesbians adopting problematic heteronormative attitudes', and how it is somehow linked to some lesbians acting 'too masculine'. However this argument feels very weak, it feels as if we are trying to shift to blame for this problem onto broader society, absolving ourselves of having to address it.
For other stories of sexual assault within same sex sexual interactions see when the assailant is one of us and this haunting piece called The Sexual Conquests of Toni Johnson.

So assuming you realy mean revisions of trunk: you either take trunk@330 and merge in (cherry pick) trunk@333, or take trunk@333 and back out ( reverse-merge) the changes from trunk@331. you might want to read http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.html I would create a release branch from the last stable trunk version (330) and merge in the trunk revisions that I want to go in the release. Then create the tag from the branch. > Am I able to do this - using subclipse or tortoise? yes 8-) -- Lorenz

Although social media occupies a significant part of our lives, we fail to understand that not everything has to be publicized on the Internet. This girl from Perth, Australia, learned the lesson the hard way.
Facebook user Chantelle won a bet on the Melbourne Cup horse race, and obviously was extremely excited. To share her joy with friends online, the woman posted a selfie with the winning ticket worth $825 on the social media site, as reported by the radio station Triple M.
However, she soon learnt not all people in her friends' list were her well-wishers when someone from her Facebook acquaintances used her selfie to claim her winnings, leaving her high and dry.

Needless to say, Chantelle was extremely upset and later wrote on Facebook: "To the low life who is obviously my friend on Facebook and used my photo to claim our winnings. You're a massive d***. You ruined my day."
Triple M later spoke to Chantelle, as she revealed the police had tracked where the prize was claimed, and had assured her they would get the culprit. But so far, Chantelle is still waiting for her cash and only time will tell whether or not she ends up being a loser in the long run.
For the time being, the radio station has given her $20 to settle the price she paid to buy the ticket.

I've just had my 6th laser tattoo removal session and my Dr. has officially categorized it as "slow" fading. The tattoo is on the outside of my wrist which I thought made it slow due to the distance from my heart. I do see some areas fading, however some lettering had "raised ink", or looked like it scarred when I had the tattoo done. Is that affecting the rate of fading? Dr. says it might be the ink used. Otherwise, healing is great. No blistering. Just pinpoint bleeding.
My Tattoo Was Slightly Raised, is This Affecting the Laser Removal?
Doctor Answers 1
Raised Tattoo Removal
If parts of your tattoo are raised it may be because the skin in those areas have more scarring, which can definitely affect how long it takes for a tattoo to fade. I recommend checking into the machine your doctor uses, as there are several different ones with the different capabilities. Some machines require the patient to be numbed beforehand, but have a stronger laser to remove a great spectrum of colors and depths. "Dr. D"

I need a clever way, I was thinking something alone the lines of "your the only chink who's booty I wanna take to homecoming" but I need something that flows a little bit better
What is a good way to ask a girl to homecoming with Chick fil a and pirates booty?

What Guys Said 2
First of all, it's "you're". "Your" is possessive; "your house", "your money", "your car", etc. "You're" is a contraction of "you are"; "you're funny", "you're pretty", "you're smart", etc. Please ask your English teachers to be pay closer attention to your class' papers with this one.
Second, don't call her a "chick". And ESPECIALLY don't call her a... very derogatory slang term for people from China...
And third, scrap the idea completely. There are other, better, and more mature ways to ask a girl to homecoming. Give her a box of candy with a note that says "homecoming?" on it. Or flowers. Write her a poem that ends with you asking her to homecoming. I talked with a girl here a few years ago who ordered a pizza and spelled out "prom?" with M&Ms or something like that (I don't remember how exactly she made it work, but she did). Cute stuff like that is fine. But this? No.00|00|0

This is my own ranking from the best to the worst plant.
1. Winter Melon: The best plant ever! Strong, efficient, and an awesome PF ability.
2. Melon-pult: Same as WM, but the freezing effect gives Winter the first place.
3. Power Lily. The best premium plant so far. It gives a good support to all plants.
4.Sun Shroom. Triunfal reappearence! It defeats Twin Sunflower at everything. Cheaper, better sun production, and a good PF ability. Has one of the worst costumes, through.
5. Kernel-pult. It's PF effect gives it the fifth place. The only way to beat an AC level with Wizards and DA Gargantuars.
6. Cabbage-pult. Cheap, efficient and it's PF effect can save me from Jesters and Wizards.
7. Cherry Bomb. A huge wave of zombies? Your lawn is full of that annoying Gargantuars? A Cherry Bomb is the answer to all your problems.
8. Laser Bean. The perfect partner for Winter Melon. He can deal with a lot of zombies at a time. The best Far Future plant.
9. Fume Shroom. A cheaper LB, if you don't have a high amount of Sun, he is the alternative choice.
10. Wall-nut. Why I put Wall-nut instead of Tall-nut? Two words: Sun cost. If cheaper, better.
11. Puff Shroom. When someone says OP, you always think of the Puff Shroom. The only bad think about him is the fact that he disappears in 60 seconds.
12. Iceberg Lettuce. Meanwhile you are saving suns, Iceberg can freezes zombies, saving some time. Also, it's a good complement having it boosted.
13. Blover. A lot of Jetpack Zombies and Bug Bot Imps can make you lose, so here's when Blover comes in handy. Also, if there is a PF boosted Spring Bean, even better.
14. Imitater. A good use for the Imitater: always imitate your boosted plants, especially Puff Shroom.
15. Magnifying Grass. I don't know why you hate it. If there's a good amount of Sun Shrooms, Magnifying Grass becomes one of the most powerful plants.
16. Sun Bean. If boosted, you can replace Sun Shroom or Twin Sunflower with him. Give it to zombies with a high amount of health, like the Robo-Cone and the Knight.
17. Snapdragon. Cheap and strong, but it can religth the Explorer Zombie's torch, so be careful.
18. Twin Sunflower. It was nerfed on the last update. Sun Shroom it's better.
19. Potato Mine. Good: Cheap, efficient and saves time. But, since Puff Shroom arrived, was replaced.
20. Tile Turnip. It can make every level a piece of cake. The only bad think about him: it's price.
21. Pea Pod. I don't like peashooting plants, but Pea Pod is an exception to this.
22. Bonk Choy. He has a good PF ability, but it's a plant that cannot control a crowd of zombies, unless boosted.
23. Magnet Shroom. He is good in the normal levels, but later it will become kinda useless due to the high presence of the Zombie King.
24. Spikerock. Sometimes is useful, mainly with freezing plants. But I don't use it always.
25. Jalapeno. When you need to take care of an unprotected line, Jalapeno is your best option, but the Cherry Bomb can replace it.
26. Spring Bean. If Blover wouldn't reappeared, it will be the last place. Also, a cheap way to kill the Pirate Gargantuar.

Heart shape diamond pendants, contemporary pendants, single stone pendants, and multi stone pendants are preferred mostly.'

We are looking to deploy windows 7 in our user environment and are starting to collect compatibility data. We have a spiceworks installation here and I was wondering if there was a way to generate a report of applications that can be green lit and possibly minimize our required testing. 32 vs 64 bit compatibility information would be a bonus
What have others done?
This is for a ~1000 user environment, all windows xp.
I am at the desktop support level and have access to spiceworks, but I would like to minimize the time required from Database and Server infrastructure staff making Spiceworks a more suitable solution compared to Microsoft ACT if possible.

Most of the printers and drivers will have to be tested. There is a general lack of support for 64 bit drivers for older printers.
Most of the off the shelf packages will work with a PC on Win 7, having said that legacy apps may have problems with 64 bit.
I run XP, Win7 32 & 64bit setup and I have found very little that does not work except printer drivers.
As to your question of Spiceworks or ACT - either will do as you still have to eyeball the report. Most software will say Win7 compatible, but it is the combinations of software that will be the problem.
Good luck.

Kurt, I would suggest using Microsoft Assesment and planning tools, MAP5.5 now available on Microsoft partner connect. This will report extensively on all Microsoft and other software issues in you network!
Be sure to run MAP5.X with the right domain admin credentials, otherwise some information will not be aggregated.
When finished this produces a comprehensive report.
- Everything is listed,
- all installed software domain wide!!!
- Issues, stuff to look in to.
- Even advice is given on how virtalisation can assist your company in cutting back on IT cost.
Rules form the thumb: when having legacy apps now (32bit) run them on Windows 7 ent. test machine under Windows XP mode, if this works out then step 2.
step 1: you have to start thinking of making this available via RDP on a SAAS desktop especially for 32 bit apps.
step 2: Then you are ready to start making your windows 7 remote installation repositories.
Have you looked into WAIK en Microsoft deployment toolkit allready?
Jan 27, 2011 at 7:02 UTC
Thanks for the replies guys,
I am aware of the drivers which I think will involve a more manual attention level. It is the legacy apps I am most concerned with.
What I was ideally hoping for was someone chiming in with a way to run a report in spiceworks of the installed applications against a predetermined list exported from microsoft of know working applications which in turn told me what did not require any manual testing. Our team is going to manually test each and every application manually which is over a month of labor right now. I think if we could say x% was given the green light by microsoft it would be safe to remove it from our list.
In terms of app compatibility Map only generates a list does it not? Spiceworks was able to do that part for me.
I have indeed looked at map/waik/act. We very well may be utilizing waik.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.
