A Day in the Life | An Honest Journal by Heather | 4.1.16
Happy 1st of April! It's April Fools Day, by the way.
Speaking of April Fools.... I never seem to get jokes. It always takes me a minute to figure them out or to be able to tell if a person is joking or not. Anybody else the same way?
It's been a busy week - the first half seemed completely overwhelming and out of control, but the second half has been wonderful because I've had some time at home, in my office, in the quiet, to knock some important to-dos off my list. Gosh, I love crossing things off my list. I love days when things seem to just be on a roll, when things just seem to happen.
There are definitely days when I have so many things on my mind that I have to just stop, get them out, put them on my list. I use Wunderlist, by the way, I have a to-do list for "today", for "this afternoon", for "this evening", for "tomorrow", for "this week", for "next week", and then "long term"... (I also have a list for Jason :) and then I organize everything into those lists so that I'm only seeing a couple of things at a time. Keeps me from losing my mind (well most of the time ha!) and it also allows me to empty my thoughts and into the list, so that I can free my mind and focus on what I need to do in the moment. At least that's my goal with the whole thing. Sometimes my mind just wants to stay in planning mode, thinking of everything going on in the next month that I need to do. I do better if I take it one day at a time.
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday, and I hope that no one will be the victim of any bad jokes today :)

Authentic Movement is a movement meditation practiced in relationship. A "mover" follows his or her impulses to move with closed eyes while a "witness" holds a safe space and honors the mover's experience without judgement. The practice of Authentic Movement opens a doorway to the unconscious and creates a rich opportunity for deep, creative self-exploration.
"Her devotion now is to primary being, the life process which breathes its inevitable course through all matter."
-Betty DeShong Meador
This multi-layered intensive workshop is intended to serve as a spiritual and practical Reset. We will work with a threefold approach; shedding anxiety and tension through Restorative yoga and developmental re-patterning, Identifying and Resolving blocks and uncovering Desire with Authentic Movement, and Re-visioning our Creative Potential through meaningful and focused Art and Writing Practices.
Follow-up Resource Sessions with Kira are available.
Offered as 4 hour, 8 hour and weekend workshops.
Intro to Authentic Movement
The basics. Learn to move authentically. With your eyes closed, allow the unconscious to unfold. Experience the depth of the body's knowledge and desire. Taste freedom. Learn to be held and seen by a nonjudgemental witness and behold the reparative potential of the mover/witness relationship.
Offered as a 3 hour workshop or ongoing group class.
Deepening Authentic Movement
Deepening in to all of the above plus diving into theory and learning tools to make the practice your own.
Offered by request, for experienced movers

Hello. For those of you who may not know, my name is Temy R. Beal. I am the former editor of the newsletter The Alabama Freethinker (TAF), which was the newsletter of the Alabama Freethought Association (AFA).
AFA has made the decision to discontinue TAF - there will no longer be a group newsletter. It is my understanding that the main reason for this decision was the cost involved. I had originally thought to leave the announcement of this fact to the AFA director, but on second thought, I realized that everyone who had subscribed to TAF had dealt with me personally as the editor, several of you are continuing to send me material for possible inclusion in TAF, and I felt I owed it to readers to make the announcement myself, and to offer my apologies.
I am working hard on creating my own publication that I call SOAR.
Please note that SOAR is entirely MY OWN PERSONAL PROJECT and is not affiliated in any way or supported by any group or organization.
The premier issue should be ready to mail by August 7, 1999. I plan it to be a small monthly magazine (approximately 16 - 20 pages) of articles, letters, humor, poetry and information of all sorts that may be of interest to the person who considers him or her self to be a freethinker. My definition of "freethinker" is as follows:
"One who applies critical thinking and logic to all areas of human experience; rejects supernatural and authoritarian beliefs; values rational and scientific inquiry, individual freedom and responsibility, and recognizes the need for tolerance and cooperation."
You do not necessarily have to fit this definition to read the publication but it would probably help. I intend SOAR to be an unusual magazine which will combine articles and items of fact, with the personal opinions of any readers who care to offer comment. There will be NO TOPIC that is off limits in SOAR. If you have an opinion on any of the issues of the day, the "BIG Questions" of life, religion, politics, economics, sexuality, etc., and are willing to share it with others, send it in. Please check the editorial policy which will appear in the first issue (and probably others) before sending in material.
Please understand that SOAR will succeed or fail based entirely on the reponse it gets from the public. I would gladly offer it free of charge if I were able, but I am very poor and cannot afford to do so. This is NOT an attempt to make money for myself. I only hope to get enough subscription money to cover the actual costs of production and distribution, which will include copying, paper, ink, and of course, postage.
Also, although SOAR will never intentionally offend anyone, some issues MAY contain language and/or graphic images which some people may find offensive. If you are easily offended you probably should refrain from reading it.
My purpose in publishing SOAR is to offer all those interested a CIVIL forum in which to teach, learn, express opinion, and generally to foster more communication between people. I will certainly welcome and carefully consider all reader input.
If you are interested in receiving the first issue of SOAR please let me know. You may either send me $2 (US funds only) for the first issue, or if you prefer, and think you will like it, you may order a one year subscription (12 issues) for $20. Please make all checks or money orders payable to Temy R. Beal. Please send cash, check or money order (and be sure to include your name and postal address) to:

Dozens of children, as well as their parents, showed up at the lake off Still Road in North Fort Myers near the Charlotte County line early Saturday morning for a day of fishing and hanging out with mom and dad.
Jimmie's Friends Helping Friends, a local non-profit dedicated to helping needy area residents, hosted its 14th annual Fishing Rodeo, not as a way to raise money so much as to get the word out of who they are and what they do.
"It's a family day to spend time with your children, and kids like to fish," said Jimmy Roberts, president of Jimmie's Friends Helping Friends. "The kids grow up quick, and that's what this is about. Kids range from babies to 16."
Article Photos
Jimmy Roberts, president of Jimmie's Friends Helping Friends, hands Ally Bembry, 6, her fishing pole while sister Kennedy, 5, looks on during the 14th annual Fishing Rodeo on Saturday.
Roberts said he never knows when something will happen where the group's services are needed. A few years ago, the event raised a lot of money when someone had a shop accident.
"He was in the hospital for three months, and what we raised at that event went to him," Roberts said. "We got the committee together and we gave it to him."
Although it got pretty hot later, it was the perfect day for fishing as everyone gathered at the three fishing holes on the property, searching for the perfect spot in which to catch the big one.
There were some quiet times in which the fish weren't biting, but eventually they would, and kids were catching bass and tilapia by the handful, measuring them and throwing them back in the water.
Kids earned trophies for the biggest catch, smallest, catch, biggest bass and most caught. Worms were provided to the kids and food was available to buy.
Mallory Bembry brought her two girls, Kennedy, 5, and Ally, 6, all the way from Buckingham to go fishing as a way to help Jimmy, who she has known since she was in 4-H as a child.
"We don't do as much fishing as we'd like. We came to help him," Mallory said as Jimmy helped worm up a line for one of her daughters. "We do these events whenever we can make them."
Mataya Rivera said the kids love fishing and that it was a good way to give back to the community.
"We're here to support the North Fort Myers area. We fish a lot and the kids enjoy it," Rivera said, who brought a posse of her friends and their kids for the trip. "We have age ranges between 4 and 14. I've been friends with Jimmy's son for a long time and we used to live nearby each other."
Kayden Deates, 6, was catching fish left and right, mostly tilapia. They weren't very big, but they were catches.
"It was kind of weird catching them. It was my fourth catch, all tilapia, my biggest was 14 inches," Kayden said with help from his mom, Jessica, as it was his first interview.
"We go to the beach a lot and he likes to bring his cast net and pole there," Jessica said.
A senior fishing rodeo will be held at the same location on May 5. The entry fee will be $10 and the fishermen will have to bring their own bait.

Press Release:
Prismatic and electric, North American painter Donna Howard cleverly weaves subtle narrative into each one of her bright paintings. Textured and nuanced with an ambient, lyrical sense of space, Howard�s paintings are emblems of a prolifically curious mind, and speak to diverse experiences and moments of human life. Strict, precise brushwork betrays the artist�s ardently playful and whimsical fancies, speaking to the duality inherent in all of our psyches. With every shift and movement of the eye as it engages with Howard�s works, we see refreshingly differently, as if we were looking through a kaleidoscope. These paintings are nothing if not marked with courageousness. �Bravest thing I ever did was to share my paintings with the world,� she admits. �Exploring the scariest corners of my mind opened a door containing so much laughter there was no way to keep it to myself.� Indeed, joy of life, translated into color and shape, epitomizes these engaging...

I was born into the Witness Protection Program so the details of my childhood have been kept from me for my own safety. I was released when it was discovered that I was never in any real danger at all. I was turned out into the street with a written apology, a pat on the head and a detailed invoice payable to the FBI for all that protection I never even needed. Talk about being behind before you even begin.
Actually, I was recently paroled from a 15-year sentence in an office cube. It was a fortunate occurrence if you consider all the time I wasted wishing the window directly behind me could open. I grieved for about 5 seconds before going to my attic to find the paintbrushes I remember being so fond of in college. They were a tad dusty and a little more than �slightly miffed� due to my neglect. It seems they forgave me after I...

Tomorrow, we head to the beach. Which means tonight, I should be finishing packing and getting to bed early. Should be.
Instead, I wanted to post a few pics before I fill up the blog next week with visions of sand and sun.
At times, today was a trying day in the life of our two-year-old. Here he is accepting one of the day's lessons.
After lunch, Ella and I headed up to see the Cuestas for a quick visit while their trip to Atlanta overlapped with us still being in town. So great to see them - and to meet baby Gabrielle! Little Julia was too quick for me. :)
Loved the girls' matching outfits.
I've been promising a preview of Pigeon's nursery for a little while. Now that the kids' rooms are switched around and Paintmaggedon 2011 is finished (AMEN), I can share the work-in-progress. Soon, I'll try to get the big kids in each of their new rooms as well.
Happy 4th to everyone!

The Hot Poets Collective : Jayne, Sabrina, JP, EJ, Cheryl, Liz & Ed (left to right!)
On April 21, 2012 I experienced an exceptional evening of poetry. I had the pleasure of attending The Hot Poets Collective's first year anniversary and the debut and book signing of their newly published poetry anthology OF FIRE, OF IRON.
My evening began when I arrived and was greeted warmly by Cheryl Boyce-Taylor. I entered a room filled with smiling guests chatting and celebrating with food and beverage. I became a part of this community of jovial strangers and friends. Once the evening began, it did not disappoint. Each poet and poem held audience members from begining to end. Each poem was finely crafted.
We were taken on a journey of emotions. We ached when JP Howard read her haunting poem about the killing of Trayvon Martin. We laughed with Ed Toney when he read of his wedding night and his alter ego. We were moved by the starling and lovely imagery of the poems of Sabrina Hayeem-Ladani. We laughed aloud when Jayne the former librarian spoke of wanting to be the woman on the train with the tight spandex and long nails. We demanded justice for the wife murdered by her husband and mother in-law after giving birth to a daughter and joined Elizabeth in her compassion for a man who received food after not having eaten in two days. We laughed and smiled as a proud mother Cheryl Boyce-Taylor spoke of her son's performance at BB King's and the audience's response.
The Hot Poets Collective is a diverse group of eight New York based poets who began writing together in April , 2011 in honor of Poetry Herstory/History Month. Bravo Hot Poets Collective, on your first anniversary and your poetry anthology OF FIRE, OF IRON. Well done!
Here are some excerpts of poems from The Hot Poets Collective anthology OF FIRE, OF IRON.
E. J. Antonio's: GENDER APARTHEID
I want the root cellar I hide in to hum
sing me songs the elder women sang to Allah
I want sap of oak bark mixed with mother's ashes
to sooth the wrongs you say live within my womb
Cheryl Boyce-Taylor: BB KING REVIVAL.
I watched my son imbue them
with his hip hop moonshine
they drunk holy rollers
rising up to touch him
he my boy revival preacher
his flock tin pan soldiers
who had just received the Christ
Sabrina Hayeem-Ladani poem OF LONGING AND BRIDGES
Here the sun sets so late
that I never stay up long enough
to watch its falling. Instead,
I pin wet towels fresh from the washer
to the line outside my window,
my eyes heavy-lidded, body draped over the edge
like an abuela policing the streets.
JP Howard: LOST: A GOODBYE POEM
are rage
splatter of bloodstain
your unanswered cell phone
mama's scream and papa's pride
sweaty scent of your school jersey
forver rewinding that morning
sweet child buried beneath memory: ours.
Elizabeth Lara : BOCA CHICA PICNIC
A man approached us, still unbent
despite his age, one deliberate step
following the next. When we offered him
our food, his face shifted.
Yes, he said, yes. I can still see
how he gripped the bowl.
how he looked at those leftovers
as if he were holding the Host,
how he crossed himself and ate.
Two days, he said, without food.
Jayne A. Pierce: ENA'S BIRTHDAY
There is no order in your absence
the patterns of your speech
echoe in my chest
empty ribs
the gauze bandage
Anton Nimblett: LIVING ROOMS/BROOKLYN
You were right about fathers
and sons. About grown men
and love. We're so alike
Daddy and I. Two man-crabs with
shells that bruise easy as ripe guavas.
Daddy: former steelband flag man.
Me: poet/masquerader/calypsonian.
Father/son joined like waves/sand.
Ed Toney: AUNT BERNICE.
Maybe the best thing ever I recall
is the way she southern draws "hey baby"
or "come to your Aunt Bernice, Baby"
sounds like thick sap running down a maple tree
like she got, honey, molasses and
heavy sweet condensed milk held in her cheeks.
And its' all sliding down her
warm corn-bred tongue.
She was living definition
of what, down-south use to be.

Gbaramatu Kingdom Demands Release of its Youths
14 July 2016 National
A protest demanding the release of youths reportedly captured by the Nigerian Army several weeks ago has been staged by the people of Oporoza community, the headquarters of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South West Local Government Area, Delta State.
According to them, the military, under the guise that they were in search of the Niger Delta Avengers, had invaded their community destroying and carting away valuables as well as capturing some youths.
The protest comes a month after the alleged invasion of the Nigerian Army on Gbaramatu community.
They claimed that their captured loved ones were neither directly nor indirectly connected to the Niger Delta Avengers.
They have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to call the military to order to release the youths.
The Gbaramatu community has been in the limelight in recent times following speculations and allegations that one of its indigenes popularly known as Tompolo is connected to the Niger Delta Avengers.

The first time that Steve swats Danny's ass, it's a light tap in passing, no more. Danny scowls after him, but there's no time for reprisals or rebuke when Kono and Chin are already running for the door and Steve's attention has moved elsewhere. He assumes, without giving it much thought, that Steve was impatient with his pause to pick up a file knocked to the floor, and the brief contact is forgotten in the car chase and shoot out that follows.
He survives. They all do. It's a good day for the good guys.
The second time is different. It's a lopsided slap that carries a sting and it's delivered in public, on the way back to Danny's car after a difficult interview with a grieving mother. The memory of her sorrow clouds the bright day, draining the warmth from the air, and Danny feels bad enough about the wasted life his words have just drawn a line under that he doesn't let the slap pass, even if the words accompanying it were more annoying. He'll smile when he fucking feels like it, thank you, and that time is not now.
It's not like it's a tease or Steve's version of foreplay. Since they started fucking semi-regularly, Steve touches him less in public, not more, and they've never, not once, done the deed on duty. They save the touching for quick early morning blow jobs, Steve trading a ride into work with a drop to his knees, or the lazy hours of a weekend afternoon, working each other up until all that's left to fight about is who wants to top. Even then, there's always the compromise of curling into question marks on the bed and sixty-nining until one of them blows and the other has the choice of finishing where he is, balls deep in a warm, wet mouth, or pulling out and suiting up.
If it's Danny who holds out the longest, he's usually so close to coming from hearing Steve groan out his name, a muffled, elongated pair of syllables, that he stays put, painting Steve's face with the Morse Code for 'God, yes' in come and cleaning it off later with a handful of tissues, to a soundtrack of Steve bitching at him for missing his mouth.
Danny doesn't miss, not with his gun, not with his dick. He just likes seeing his mark on Steve, even if it's something as easy to wipe away as spunk.
So, given the rules they play with -- and they're not unspoken, bet your ass they're not, because Steve needs some things spelling out -- the slap on his ass is annoying, puzzling, and just plain weird.
He bitches Steve out about it for a few miles and then subsides when he realizes that Steve's hunkered against the passenger door -- Steve doesn't get to drive Danny's car if he's an asshole -- and oddly quiet.
The third time, reaching up for a mug in Steve's kitchen one morning, he turns, warned by instinct, and catches both Steve's wrist and the look in his eye.
"What is with you?" he asks, slamming the mug down with a little too much force. "You want me to move? Ask me. You want me to move faster, ask louder. Whacking my ass is just giving me flashbacks to a really disturbing case involving a frat house and a stuffed bear and if you're really nice to me, I won't tell you that story, ever."
"I didn't -- I --"
That lost look is back and Danny hates it. Steve gets it sometimes when he really doesn't understand why Danny's pissed (mostly, he knows, sometimes…not so much) and if Grace ever learns how to do it, Danny will sell his car and buy her the pony she wants without hesitation. Steve's goofy grins after sex or the intent, wondering way he stares down at Danny when he thinks Danny's eyes are closed in sleep are bad enough, but the bewildered look is like a bullet to his heart, swear to God.
Danny's wearing skin and a T-shirt that's too short, the hem only low enough to skim the cloud of hair on his belly, no more than that. He's walking around with his cock ready to go to hard, and yeah, he's doing it to entice Steve into pouncing, but also because he couldn't find his pants. They're around somewhere, but the lure of coffee had overridden any modesty he has left and Steve's seen everything he's got, up close and personal, so it's no big deal. Now, facing a Steve who's covered up by a T-shirt and wearing the bottom of a pair of PJs, the pants loose and faded a shade lighter through washing, he feels naked.
Guilt at putting that look in Steve's eyes only fuels his irritation. It's early. He needs coffee. Steve had hogged the bed. He's got a dozen reasons for being grouchy if he needs them but he only uses one.
"You want to slap my ass? Go ahead. Do it." Danny turns, plants his hands on the counter and shoves his ass out, throwing in a wiggle. "There it is."
"Danny, I don't --"
He hears Steve swallow, the guy's that close, feels the air move when Steve gets even closer. He spreads his fingers wide and drops his head down, staring at his cock from a weird angle and watching it thicken from habit. He's stood like this for Steve before, but for different reasons.
"Do it," he repeats and makes his voice inflexible.
Steve's breath hisses out in a sigh and his hand meets the curve of Danny's ass in a clumsy, tentative smack.
Danny snorts. "Oh, come on," he says, taunting Steve and hating himself for doing it. "That all you got?"
The next slap is solid, jarring, and stings. It's loud, too, in the quiet kitchen, and Danny jumps, flinching away from the noise not the fleeting pain. He twists his head. "Jesus, that…"
He doesn't finish his sentence. Steve's staring at the mark his hand's left and there's no satisfaction in his eyes, just need.
It's Danny's turn to swallow. Okay, this is new, this is surprising, but this is Steve; what isn't? He picks his words carefully, the counter still cool under his hands. "This isn't something I've done. Ever. This isn't my thing, you know? If you want to do this, we need to talk about it, but I'm not gonna lie, it didn't do much for me. You can give me a few more if you like, but --"
"I don't want to," Steve says, his voice tight, controlled to the point of not sounding like him. "I just wanted to know what it was like."
Danny straightens and turns, feeling a little more secure with his ass out of reach. "Yeah? And?"
Steve frowns. "What?"
"What did it feel like?" Danny asks. "Did you get a rush from it? Did it turn you on?" He glances down and raises his eyebrows, grinning. "Forget that last question."
Steve slides his hand over the front of his pants, palming the erection pushing out the thin fabric and adjusting himself. "You don't get it," he says, scraping the smile off Danny's face with the raw edge to his voice. "I want to know what it felt like for you."
"I told you," Danny says with a shrug. "I didn't get off on it. And while we're on the subject, handcuffs are for work, not for play, and I don't even like calling you 'Boss' so don't even try to make me call you --"
"No." Steve's flushed now, his hands by his sides, his fingers tensing, curling, almost making fists. "Please. Tell me. I want to know what it felt like."
Sometimes when they lie in bed, Danny will get an itch in the middle of his back. The easiest way to get it scratched when he's feeling too dopey with sleep to talk is to start scratching Steve's back just where his own needs it. Steve will mirror him perfectly, the way most people do, a throwback to something primal, until Danny's groaning out his approval as Steve's fingernails scratch at him just right, making his toes curl with pleasure.
He talks with his hands a lot, but now, when he lifts one to point speechlessly at Steve, his mouth hanging open, empty, all that he can think is that it's the hand Steve wants him to use and he can't --
"You want me to -- You're asking --" The words, when he finally gets them out, sound incredulous, but a small part of him isn't surprised that Steve wants this, which should tell him something. "Jesus, Steve, before breakfast?" he adds peevishly and halleluiah, Steve's mouth loses the pinched, hurt tightness and curves in a smile.
"You're saying if I feed you, you'll do it?"
Danny exhales, and swipes his hands through his hair. He's terrified; limp-dicked, dry-mouthed, but there's something gratifying about Steve's trust in him and if the whole slap my ass thing isn't doing much for him, seeing Steve like this, so fucking vulnerable, so needy, most definitely is. He wants to hug the guy, pet him calm, fuck him until Steve's throat is hoarse from screaming out his name and his ass is tender on the inside, in all the secret places only Danny gets to go.
He wants Steve so much in general that this is something they'll work out because the alternative isn't there to be chosen. He's not walking away. Not over this.
"I'm saying, give me some coffee and then we'll talk. For three minutes or until I start blushing. If I blush, we stop."
He sits at the table and watches Steve move around the kitchen, filling their mugs with coffee and making toast. He can't stop staring at Steve's ass and picturing it waiting, not for his fingers, his mouth, his cock, but the blunt, hard smack of his palm. He thinks of how it'll look stained red, bruised darkly, and shudders, half aroused -- it's Steve's ass and he likes Steve's ass -- half repelled. Hurting Steve, even if Steve wants it, is just so out there that Danny's not sure it's in him to give.
After three sips of his coffee, he jumps right in. "You've never done this before?"
"I've never trusted anyone enough to ask them." Steve hasn't touched his coffee or bitten into the golden brown slice of toast in front of him, butter melting into it, softening the crispness. "It's not a big deal."
"I said we'd stop if I blushed," Danny says indistinctly, through a mouthful of toast. "We also stop if you lie to me. It's a big deal. You want it. You've been asking me for it all week and I just didn't get it. Which is completely your fault before you start thinking that I'm apologizing here, because I'm not."
"I'm not asking --"
"All you needed to do -- and you're capable of speech, don't underrate yourself -- was say, 'Danny, if you're not doing anything this weekend, come over to my place and spank me because I've always wondered what it was like and you look like the man for the job.'. Which I am," Danny adds, dropping the crust onto his plate because Grace isn't around needing him to set a good example. "I can do it. I will. Right now, if you like."
Steve shakes his head and the words tumble out of his mouth as if the shake's jarred them loose. "I'm not asking you to do something you don't want to do. I'm not lying when I say it's not as important as you. I'm sitting here terrified that I've screwed things up, that you're going to walk away and --"
Danny spreads his arms wide. "Still here. Not leaving. Don't flatter yourself that you're special, some kind of kinky freak. You're not. Seventy-three percent of men over forty have been spanked at least once."
Steve gives him a look of pure, unadulterated suspicion. "Oh, yeah? Says who?"
"True fact," Danny confirms, lying shamelessly. "I read it in Cosmo, when I was waiting in line at the supermarket a few years back. I wanted to find out how to make my man howl at the moon. I think it was their October issue."
"So are you part of the seventy-three or the twenty-seven percent?" Steve asks, ignoring Danny's attempt to distract him.
Danny snorts after checking Steve's math in his head automatically. "After what we just did, I'm going to have to tick the 'have been spanked box.'." He wriggles his ass against the chair. "Ow."
Steve's eyes go sharp, concerned. "I hurt you?"
Danny waves his hand dismissively. "What? No! I'm just teasing you. It didn't hurt. Well, it stung, just for a second, but after that it -- " He falters. Steve's listening with this painful intensity and it's just too fucking much. "You know what? Why don't I just show you?"
"We're still talking about it," Steve objects but he's clamping his hands around his mug to stop them from shaking.
Danny takes a last gulp of coffee and stands up. "No, we're done talking. Get your ass in the bedroom and lose the pants. As soon as I've found mine, we're doing this."
Steve stands too, takes one step toward the stairs, and hesitates. "We should just forget it. It's something I fantasize about, but that doesn't mean I'll like the real thing."
"Sad but true. I always thought I wanted to skydive until a friend took me up in a plane and told me to jump out of it. Those parachutes, they're kinda flimsy, you know?"
"Did you jump?" Steve asks, and this is why Danny's most of the way in love with him, because even in the middle of this crisis of kink, Steve's interested in him and what makes him tick.
Danny sighs at the memory of what an idiot he'd been. "I was trying to impress him. Yeah, I jumped. Threw up when I landed, and pissed myself on the way down, though I don't think anyone noticed that what with the puke everywhere, but I jumped." He pulls Steve to him for a hug, pressing his lips against Steve's neck and breathing in the scent of sleep-warm skin. "If you do like it --"
"I won't ask you to do it again," Steve says, pulling back so that he can meet Danny's eyes. "Just -- make it count. Don't hold back. And don't…"
"Don't what, babe?" Danny says projecting calm when his heart's thudding wildly. He might not be sure that he wants to do this, he might be tilted off-balance by the discovery that Steve does, but it's going to mean Steve naked, hard, under his hand, and it's not like he can be totally anti that, no matter what else is involved.
Steve closes his eyes for a moment, color rising in his cheeks. He doesn't open them until the final word. "Don't laugh. Don't joke about it before, during, or after. Don't make me feel like a freak. Don't…don't tell anyone. Please."
Danny slides his hand down and swats Steve's ass as hard as he can given the angle. It takes away some of the sympathy constricting his throat but not all of it. "That's for implying I'm an insensitive asshole instead of a caring, sympathetic boyfriend with some dark secrets of his own that I'll share with you the next time you get me drunk. Welcome to the seventy-three percent. If you still want more--"
Steve nods, arousal darkening his eyes, red to the tips of his ears. He's going to fall apart under the first slap, Danny can tell, and something inside him is already anticipating it, how good it's going to feel to fuck Steve after this, how Steve's going to give him everything, no reservations, no holding back, that strong, hard body pliant and quivering.
"Upstairs," he says and watches Steve's ass every step of the way
They're standing by the bed when something else occurs to him and he licks his lips, biting down on the lower one hard.
"What?" Steve asks, naked in front of him, waiting for Danny to finish zipping his pants. They'll come off again soon and it's not easy to ease the zipper up when he's hard just from looking at Steve, but there's no way he's spanking Steve naked, his junk bouncing around. It's a question of authority.
"If we do this again…if we both…don't mind it…"
"Don't come," Danny says. "I want you to fuck me after I've spanked you. I want you to show me how fucking good it's made you feel. Not this time. This time, you can come." With a touch that nearly brings Steve to his knees, he runs a fingertip from the root of Steve's cock to the tip. It's a crueler touch than any he'll give Steve during the spanking, but he can't resist. "Like I could even stop you. But next time --"
Steve nods as if he gets it, and maybe he does, and lies down on the bed, taking a little while to settle into a comfortable position.
Danny admires the view for long enough that Steve stirs restlessly, his ass rising a few inches, an involuntary plea that has Danny breathing just a little faster.
He's not sure what he's doing. Even as he nudges Steve over a foot or so to make room for him on the bed, even as he positions a pillow under Steve to keep that ass up and give Steve's cock some space, he's aware of a voice yammering in his head, panicked, worried.
If he screws this up when it matters to Steve, he'll never forgive himself. And Steve's on edge to begin with, guilty for making Danny do something that he'd never considered, but needing it too much to be unselfish -- which tells Danny everything he needs to know about how important this is to Steve.
"Tell me when it's enough," he says and rests his palm on the warm, pale skin he's about to turn hot and bright. "And relax," he adds. The muscles in Steve's ass are bunched and tight. "It's going to be good. You'll love it."
His first slap is too hard as he over-compensates for his nerves, determined not to spoil this. Something tells him that gentle, kind play pats will drive Steve insane and not in a good way. He knows it's too hard because he's watching Steve's hands and they clench hard, fingers clawing at the sheet. A shudder races through Steve's body, a shocked ripple.
Yeah, too hard, but Danny doesn't stop to apologize. He makes the second one less of an all-out assault and more of a confident, yes, I know what I'm doing brisk spank.
Steve's hands are still gripping the sheet, but his knuckles aren't white and he exhales as if he's been holding his breath, which makes Danny realize that oxygen's an issue for him, too.
Danny winces when he sees the red he's put onto Steve's skin, but he lands another few anyway, the heat in his palm making him part of this in a way he hadn't expected. He's half-hard, too absorbed in the task at hand to really pay attention to his own response, but his body's less detached. This isn't about him, though. Not this time. This is just him giving Steve something Steve wants.
Steve's skin is soon dappled with sweat, though the room's cool enough. The ink swirling on his arms looks different when it's wet from a shower or the ocean, but the sweat just makes the tattoos look fresh and new. Getting them must've hurt, too. Danny flashes on Steve in a chair, a man with a needle working him over, getting small moans from Steve, pushing the pain deep into his skin, and the possessiveness that flares up makes it easy to continue the spanking.
He tells himself that he'll stop at six, at ten, a round dozen, but his hand rises and falls long after those numbers are reached, peppering Steve's ass and the top of his thighs with crisp, hard slaps. Steve's too quiet and Danny breaks the silence.
"You're holding back. Make some noise for me. Show me you want this."
Steve's head moves in a 'no'. Fucking stoic SEAL.
"This isn't about being brave," Danny tells him. One spank over there, where the skin's pink not red. It needs some attention…yeah, that's better. "It's about enjoying yourself. I'm spanking your fucking ass, Steve. Show me some goddamned appreciation."
He finds a spot that's blazing red and goes to town on it. Bare hand, kneeling beside Steve; he's not going to hurt him. The position was deliberate. Over his knee just wasn't an option. Even if Steve had wanted it, Danny would've felt ridiculous. Steve bending over a chair wasn't going to be comfortable for long. This isn't punishment, isn't even pretending to be, and Danny's not interested in making this mimic a frat-house hazing with Steve begging him for more please, sir.
This is him giving Steve a spanking because Steve wants to find out what it's like. It's simple enough, really. Steve hasn't asked to be tied up, or paddled, there's no ritual, no real goal beyond making sure that Steve gets an experience that qualifies as a spanking.
Danny stares at Steve's ass. Oh, yeah. This qualifies.
"Noise," he reminds Steve and Steve makes this sound, this desperate choking whoop of a breath and yeah, look, white knuckles again, the bone pushing up against the skin and stretching it pale.
"That's good," Danny says and makes it sound serious, not approving. Approving will just piss Steve off. "I like that. Do it again, please."
Steve shakes his head, but it's more like a man looking for a way out than a rejection. He's going from stretched taut to loose, boneless, his ass muscles flexing along with his clutching hands.
Danny sighs, leans down, and licks across all that blazing hot skin. Steve yelps, startled, and whimpers when Danny blows over the glistening wet stripe to cool it. It won't be helping to take the burn away, Danny knows; it's just making Steve realize how hot the rest of his ass is. The next spank, Danny gets a moan and after that he gets one with every slap, every fleeting press of his hand, until Steve's crying out, each breath a sound, lost in his own world of waiting for Danny's hand to flash down, never knowing where it will land.
Danny doesn't want to lie where Steve is and offer his own ass up for this, but he's curious about how it feels. Steve's enjoying it, but as with any first time, he guesses there's too much going on for the experience to be fully absorbed.
He finds himself thinking that next time will be easier on both of them and realizes that he's not even considering the possibility that this is a one-off. Maybe not something they'll do often, but Steve's going to want this again.
As he ends it, ignoring Steve's dazed murmur of protest, and rolls Steve to his back, getting his mouth over Steve's cock just in time to catch the first spurt of come, he accepts that it doesn't matter if it's still not really his kink, he'll want it too.
He'd want anything that made Steve his the way this has.

While advances in communications and social media can be a blessing, they also tend to spread us thin. My friend Aryn recently described her friendships as being "A mile wide and an inch deep."
It's easy these days to have many shallow relationships spread out across various social arenas.
Sound familiar? Between your school groups, church groups, playdate groups, preschool groups, small groups, community groups, volunteer groups, social media groups, and work groups, you might feel that closer, deeper relationships aren't being nurtured.
Hallmark recognizes that while we're communicating more than ever, we seem to be saying less. When we don't express our feelings and embrace transparency and authenticity, we fail to emotionally connect...and we drift apart.
With Mother's Day coming up it's the perfect time to work on a deeper connection with your oldest relationship of all.
What would you say to your Mom if asked to go beyond 'I love you', 'I appreciate you' or 'Thank you?"
I'd move beyond, "I appreciate how you help out with my kids" and "thanks for making sure my birthday is special every year."
Who else but mom makes sure you get birthday surprises even when you're turning 33?
I'd move beyond simply saying thanks, and let Mom know that she's a symbol of strength. I'd make sure she knew that her example of perseverance through adversity over the years has helped me press on through difficulties of my own.
She's a strong woman and I've never told her that...until now.
I'd also let her know we need a more recent photo together. :)
Many of us have a hard time expressing our feelings. Whether it's because of our "mile wide, inch deep" culture or just an attribute of our temperaments (*raises hand*) it's not always easy to talk about how we feel. Thankfully, Hallmark is here to help!
This Mother's Day, Hallmark wants to help you Put Your Heart to Paper and tell your mom what she means to you.
Visit putyourhearttopaper.com and you'll find writing prompts and creative ways to express more than just "Thanks, Mom!"
What does your mom mean to you?

For three years ending in July, 1997, Pharr, Texas was our home. In this 1996 aerial photograph, our apartment building is shown in the northeast quadrant. It is the second in a series of six square buildings shown in a perfectly straight row. The area is developing rapidly; all of the empty fields to the north of that apartment are now full of homes and apartments.

Improving joint venture performance
Over the past 20 years, Joint Ventures (JV) have become a popular form of business structure. There are many types of JVs but each share a basic premise: separate businesses agree to develop, for a finite time, a new entity and new assets through the contribution of equity and resources. The partners exercise control over the enterprise and consequently share revenues, expenses and assets.
Although difficult to get an accurate tally, there are likely more than 8,000 JVs in existence worldwide representing hundreds of billions of dollars in combined revenues. JVs have been the preferred strategy for North American and European companies to enter the rapidly growing BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) markets.
When operating well, JVs deliver compelling benefits including simplifying entry into new markets, reducing business risk and conserving scarce capital.
The operant phrase is, "when functioning well." JVs are not easy to form, operate and exit. A number of studies by KPMG, McKinsey and PWC have concluded that no more than 50% of all JVs were seen to be successful by their participants, with the average partnership lasting between 8 and 10 years. For those JVs that soldier on, they often suffer from strategic confusion, slow decision-making, and duplication of effort with the parents.
Two successful JVs provide some important lessons on creating and managing these unique relationships. CIBC Mellon, a leader in the Canadian Asset Servicing industry, is a successful 14 year JV between the CIBC and Bank of New York Mellon. Sony and Ericsson created a JV s in 2001 to manufacture mobile phones. In 2009, Sony Ericsson was the 4th largest mobile phone manufacture in the World.
The following are some key lessons on creating and managing well-run JVs:
Finding the right partner
- Look for similar goal, and cultures – Not only must the firm's culture and business practices be amenable to collaboration but it must have what Tom MacMillan, Chairman of CIBC Mellon, calls "the JV mindset…Some companies are good at working with others, some aren't"
- Ensure a strategic fit – When prospective partners are identified, managers must evaluate the firm's capabilities, management and financial health against the JV's needs and their own gaps. In Sony Ericsson's case, the JV combined Sony's well-honed consumer electronics expertise with Ericsson's leading technological knowledge in the communications sector.
Reaching the right agreement
- Get a strong business case – A winning JV combines a compelling business case with financially-strong partners. "Two lousy businesses put together will not make one good business…they will give you one big lousy business." Says Tom MacMillan.
- Align around goals, commitments and mutual expectations – To avert conflict and ensure proper resource allocation, all parties must ensure their strategic and financial interests are in sync before commencing operations. To ensure strategic and financial alignment, both Sony and Ericsson agreed in the JV to stop making their own mobile phones.
- Get the right equity and capital deal – Research says that a 50/50 equity split, with clear responsibilities and rights on both partners, has the greatest chance of success.
Making the partnership flourish
- Assign effective leaders – Senior management at both the parents and JV must be skilled at managing through differences in reward systems, cultures and organizational practices. According to Tom MacMillan, strong Board-level leadership by the partners and day-to-day leadership in the JV may be the most critical factor in ensuring the JV's success
- Insist on mutual commitments – Both partners must honour and maintain their financial and operational commitments even when results are less than ideal or the strategic circumstances of one party changes. This puts an onus on properly capitalizing the JV at the outset and dealing with future investment requirements.
- Get the governance model right – The ideal governance structure provides sufficient controls to minimize risk without stifling operational flexibility and speed.
- Anticipate and pre-empt conflict – According to a PWC study, the top 2 reasons why JVs fail are poor financial performance and a change in strategy. To pre-empt surprises and illuminate important issues, JVs need regular strategic reviews and performance tracking. Building in transparency and regular management communications will help foster trust and reinforce shared goals.

Will P&G clean up with two new businesses?
Having worked in P&G brand management on some of their biggest brands (Tide, Cascade, Ivory Snow), I must admit to being an admirer of almost everything the firm does. Well almost everything. I was not a big fan of the Tide Basic introduction. And, lending their reputation and strong brands to some consumer service industries may turn out to be another misstep.
Over the past three years, P&G has been refining plans to enter two new markets – dry cleaning and car washes – by leveraging two of their strongest brands. In effect, P&G is applying the considerable technology and brand equity of Tide and Mr. Clean to launch two new franchised consumer services. In particular, a pilot program of Tide Dry Cleaners is about to be introduced in selected markets across the United States. Secondly, P&G is continuing to roll out Mr. Clean car washes in partnership with franchisers ready to fork over a $5 million initial investment.
I am skeptical as to whether these initiatives will succeed:
One would assume that years of testing and refinement were behind the concept development and delivery model. Was this effort of value? Thorough thinking and ample investment can not make up for a weak consumer proposition or bad timing. During my tenure in the late 1980s, P&G Canada launched a family of Enviro-Paks – cleaning, detergent and dishwashing liquids – packaged in large Tetra Pak containers – based on European learnings. The roll out flopped, not necessarily because of poor execution but because the timing was about 15 years too early (environmental awareness was very low at the time) and there was no compelling consumer benefit in switching to the new format.
My concerns with P&G's new franchising strategy centers on the following areas:
The attainable market may be too small
The dry cleaning and car wash markets are fragmented, often driven by price and location considerations. On the other hand, P&G has traditionally focused on share leadership in large and defined market segments with premium-performing products. I am not sure the dry cleaning and car wash sectors contain segments large enough to support P&G's premium business model and generate sufficient financial returns. Furthermore, at $5 million per store, a Mr. Clean franchise will not appeal to any but the deepest pocket franchisers.
Challenges with the customer experience
Financial returns will depend heavily on the quality of the customer experience delivered every day. Service businesses rise and fall on front line staff interactions with customers and delivering consistent quality. Ensuring a fruitful and consistent customer experience is a challenge in consumer services given the heterogeneous nature of employees who are often unskilled and transient. While having a bullet-proof set of policies and procedures will help, P&G will lack the control and immediacy to ensure day-to-day execution excellence on a national scale.
Franchising cheapens P&G brands
Given the above challenges, P&G runs a significant risk that an unsuccessful franchise strategy could hurt Mr. Clean and Tide's strong brand equity and subsequently damage their market shares. Together, these brands represent over a billion dollars in profit in the US alone.
Without analyzing the business case, its hard to really know whether the above issues are problematic. However, one must wonder why P&G chose to expand to new markets with completely new business models that are well beyond their core consumer and customer franchise. Time will tell.

To intervene on a city piece, it is to confront with the images of a rich and multiple set in an immediate horizon of perceptions. Succession of spaces, doors of cities, zones of development and housing environments, collective and shared spaces, parks, green alleys, highways, infrastructures, alternating filled and empty spaces … In reality, the city is only additions of portions constructed and divided to create sometimes right in the middle of this full height, A SPACE TO BE MADE LIVE : the urban place. The result of this is an addition of visions which invites to dive into the scenes of the urban life. The creation or the transformation of an urban landscape, rethought and reorganized, proposes a new way of life.

What is landscape architecture?
By Meredith H. Richard Have you ever meandered through a park and marveled at the beautiful scenery around you? Chances are you are admiring the work of a landscape architect. While gardening is more clearly defined as an activity involving the tending to and cultivation of plants, landscape architecture encompasses a broader spectrum. Landscape architecture is the art and practice of designing the outdoors. The goal is to make these spaces not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional to their… Read More »

Well, we're almost in the home stretch, so to speak, with two weeks left in the Lenten Season. As the case has been, since Lent started, we begin the week with some changes to the meal schedule. Of course, outside events have had an impact already, but also, for the first time, I am looking at a weekly menu and finding a lack of variety. So, here's the original menu:
- Sunday – lahm mishwe (shish kabob), hummous, fried eggplant and tabouli
- Monday – pasta with white beans and shrimp
- Tuesday – fava beans (fresh, if available) or butter beans with risotto or polenta
- Wednesday – pasta with arugula, tomato and garlic
- Thursday – corn and black bean pizza
- Friday – miso with soba and cabbage
- Saturday – quinoa with tofu (and chicken for the boys)
So here's my beef (no pun intended!), beans on Monday, beans on Tuesday, beans on Thursday(?). Pasta on Monday and Wednesday with RISOTTO or POLENTA in the middle. Might as well have pasta all three days. Ok, ok, I know, in Italy they may well eat pasta EVERY DAY, but despite the fact that my husband is Sicilian, and loves Italian food, it does seem a bit much! Then of course, pizza follows. Oy vey! (sorry, don't know the Italian equivalent).
Also, I helped my wonderful friend, Lisa, throw a party for her wonderful (and now three-year old) daughter, Grace and her most wonderful and excellent parents, Bonnie and Stash. (that's pronounced "St-ah-sh", not "Stash", like the tea). There was leftover baked ziti from the party, and so Vini and the kids ate ziti last night, and I ate veggies. So here's the new and improved weekly menu:
- Monday – lahm mishwe (shish kabob), hummous, fried eggplant and tabouli (I'll eat everything but the mishwe)
- Tuesday – shrimp stir fry (see how easy that was!)
- Wednesday – pasta with clam sauce (I AM going to eat pasta with clams! I AM, I AM, I AM!!!
- Thursday – corn and black bean pizza for me. I'll be heading over to Seaside in the afternoon, so I have no idea what the rest of the family will eat. Although, I'd put my money on Popeye's chicken or Cannon's ribs. (mmmmm, riiiiiiiiibs)
- Friday – miso with soba and cabbage (why mess with a good thing!)
- Saturday – (ditto) for the quinoa, tofu and chicken.
I love typing out these menus each week. I look forward to all the delicious food I am fortunate enough to eat. I feel blessed to have such variety, so many healthy foods available to me, and the time to prepare it all!
When I sat down to plan these menus, I made up menus through this week, leaving the next two weeks open. I plan to go through the menus of the last several weeks, and choose the foods I enjoyed the most. It's not that I think that fasting should be free of suffering, it's just that I think that the intentional abstention from foods I normally eat is the sacrifice. Part of the joy of fasting for me, is knowing that God created such a variety of food sources for us that we can easily go without that which we normally enjoy and yet, still thrive.
I feel so grateful, as I Fast, that this is TRULY an option for me. So many people in the world, the vast majority, in fact, have very few food choices. They eat what is available to them, both in form and in quantity, and they must be satisfied with that, regardless of whether or not they find it enjoyable, adequately nutritious, or sufficient to appease their hunger. I, on the other hand, have virtually unlimited choices regarding what I eat. I can eat a tremendously varied diet: Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, French Bistro, Italian, Jewish Deli, German, Middle Eastern, Nigerian, Mexican, Latin American, Swedish (ikea?), Hawaiian, Southern (fried chicken, hush puppies), oh, yeah, Cajun and Creole, that's just what I could come up with without stopping to think! And even though we're probably somewhere around middle class, or lower middle class, I still have enough money to eat and eat and eat until I couldn't possibly eat any more. All day, every day. Blessed with every abundance imaginable. And that's just food. So it's good to make choices and learn to reign in the physical passions, and Lent is the blessing through which we can do that (one of the ways, anyway!).
"God, thank You for Lent. Thank You for the abundance in my life, and thank You for helping me practice self control."

Why you should wear red lipstick #lipstick
Maybe memories of wiping Nana's beet-red pucker off your cheek has turned you off of red lipstick. Maybe it's red lipstick's reputation as a bad-girl color. Whatever reason why you're not wearing this timeless hue, it's time to expand your horizons. Red lipstick is making a major comeback, and if you think you can't pull it off, then think again. Depending on the hue you choose, red lipstick is classic, versatile and elegant. Start by considering a few things.
Dark lipstick can make lips look thinner, so avoid the hues at the dark end of the spectrum if you're older or have thin lips. If you'll be outside in natural light, then go lighter with a softer shade. For nighttime events, choose something bolder. Women who have striking features such as very dark hair or bright blue eyes can go a little bolder as well. Go easy on your eye makeup if you choose a bold red to avoid makeup overkill. Avoid that lady-of-the-night look by going neutral on your nailcolor as well. Begin applying red lipstick by giving lips a coating of clear balm.
Then dot a bit of concealer around the edges of your mouth and follow by lining lips with a complementary lip liner. These steps will help prevent bleeding. Apply red lipstick with precision - it's not the color to just slap on in your rearview mirror. It's important to consider your coloring before investing in a red lipstick. Generally, women with pink or blue undertones in their skin should look for red lipstick with the same undertones. Berry colors and those that tend to be pinker are perfect.
Women with warmer undertones - yellow or green - should opt for warm red hues, such as corals and orange-reds. Women who don't have a lot of differentiation in their skin and hair color can go bolder with darker burgundies and tomato reds. Don't like the color you've bought? Don't trash it yet - experiment to see if you can add a bronze or gold hue over it in order to warm it up, or a pink gloss to add more of a blue undertone.

This name can be modified at any time.
- Choose the type of platform according to the requested calculation power: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Diamond.
This choice is not definite: the type of platform can be modified at any time.
If youare not sure, we advise you to choose a "Bronze" platform and to upgrade it later if necessary.
- Define the use level of the platform: light, medium or high.
The use level of the platform defines its "responsiveness".
For a Web site, a low use level is sufficient.
For a database or a busier platform, the use level will have to be adapted.
The choice of the use level for the platform can also be modified at any time. You can start, for example, with a low use level, then increase the use level.
- Specify the version of the platform.
We advise you to choose the same version for the platform and for your development version.
- Define the roles of the platform
To be able to deploy WEBDEV sites on the platform, check "WEBDEV Application Server".
