Five Universal Laws of Privacy
1. The Sucking Black Hole Vortex Effect: It does not matter where you go or what you do, someone, one of those people you created, will follow you everywhere. You might as well try to hack off your own shadow. And, even if you do manage to escape the parameters of this Familial Force Field, just think of it as an invisible fence for your dog. Within a second or two, your kids will get the zap that you're away, and that means you could be having fun or doing something cool like playing Angry Birds or jumping on the bed or maybe you're just trying to go poo alone for the first time in a decade and by Maude that is not going to happen.
2. The Population/Purpose Inverse: Oddly enough, the more people there are in a house, the greater chance for privacy. If your kids have friends, you can guarantee yourself maybe four full minutes of folding laundry before some crisis unfolds. If it's just the family, you're down to two-and-a-half. Two other people, ninety seconds, max. And, if you happen to be in the unfortunate situation where there's just you and that one special, special friend who gets to be in the house alone with you, just give up now. The same holds true for the degree of purpose your privacy entails...folding laundry? You might as well do it naked in Times Square - no one is going to be around for that. But find the sudden and urgent need to get rid of a particularly stubborn booger or pull a wedgie out of your...suddenly there's eleventeen people around asking why your grabbing your own butt and have a finger up your nose.
3. The Law of Diminishing Proportions: Stand in the middle of your driveway and chances are, you'll be there alone for a while. The living room, what with the stuffy furniture and the stabby things by the fireplace, yeah, maybe one kid goes in there. The kitchen? Oh, you've entered the realm of Non-Privacy now. And the smaller you get, the more people you can count on trying to ram their little bodies into your increasingly smaller square footage. In my house, we have the One Ass Kitchen. It's incredibly small and narrow, if you open both the oven and the refrigerator at the same time you can create your own weather system. But I am never alone in that room. Go down to the laundry room and it's worse, and my bathroom? Forget it. I haven't been alone in there in 11 years.
4. The Husband Paradox: Maybe it's that they really are lonely when they go to work. Maybe they just store up all those random thoughts just for you. My husband...my dear sweet clueless husband...thinks that, on those rare times when the children are gone, that I need the company. And he'll bring me random things he's found, like last year's catalog and a couple of movie stubs and should we still save them? And sit on the ottoman at my feet and maybe he'll even try to talk over that exact moment when Briscoe and Curtis are making all the connections that will lead them to the bad guy and then I'll have to hit pause, and then I think to myself that Lenny must really get tired of being paused just as he's got that thought all figured out.
And then he'll say things, hopeful things, like "I think I'm going to go to the gym, then get the stuff from Home Depot and have lunch with Dave..." and you -- being stupid -- think how awesome that will be. For him, of course. Awesome for him. And nineteen minutes after he leaves he returns home with an ice pack and a limp and says something about pulling a hamstring and he'll just hang out here with you this afternoon, and oh hey can you bring him some lunch and massage his back? And you're left standing at the front door, perplexedly looking at the car going, "...but you said...you said you were going to be gone..."
5. The Continuum Theory: At one point I was single, and lived in a super tiny townhouse apartment with the dishwasher in the bathroom and the neighbor's Norman Bates-y cat, who traveled through the house via the air conditioning vents and let me tell you there are far things weirder than seeing overly large green eyes peering out through a grate in the ceiling at 2am...point is, I. lived. alone. Then one day I got married, moved into a cute little house, and added a kid. That house eventually got traded for a bigger and better one -- and another kid --and then an even bigger and better one to go with the last kid. Now I've got five people living here, and my house is never empty. And, then it dawned on me that by time the IHPs all venture off to college, McLovin will retire and then *he'll* be in my house all day.
And that's when I realize I miss that f**king cat.

I keep trying to enforce the MY SPACE rule about my bedroom And yet, most days are spent discovering children bouncing around on my bed and finding all sorts of surprises (everything from toys to dirty diapers) left IN. MY. ROOM. after they go to bed. We were playing outside this afternoon, dear toddler, how on earth did you not only manage to wiggle out of your diaper without me knowing about it, but also do so in my closet?? Oh right, it was probably when I was busy fishing your sister's my little pony out of MY toilet....ReplyDelete

People poo alone?ReplyDelete
My favorite? Not only can the Future Circus People NOT stay out of my bedroom, but they must critique it as well. "Mommy, your room is messy!" Yeah, who do you think cleans the entire rest of the house and never gets to her own bedroom?
Oh my God, hacking off my shadow? This is exactly how I feel on a daily basis.ReplyDelete
I try to be nice - I really do - but by my 12th or 13th hour of them? Every time they come near me I mutter/beg "Please get OFF me"...which makes them laugh maniacally and try to climb my legs.
The absolute most awesome thing about you two is that you understand. You get it! You described my house as if you live here. Except that my husband actually runs his errands. Alone. While I stay here with the kids. Not alone.ReplyDelete

Did anyone else ever expect their Little Miss 4 yr old to know more about their monthly cycle than their husband? I'll trade the right to pooing alone just for the chance to have "that time of the month" in the toilet all by myself. I mean REALLY! Am I the only one??? I'm just waiting for the day when she announces to some random stranger that Oh, Mummy's bleeding again.ReplyDelete
My husband took a picture of me when my daughter was only a few weeks old. I had fallen asleep in a chair with my feet up while holding my only a couple week old daughter. Also in my lap was our cat and draped over my feet on the foot stool was our Jack Russle/border collie.ReplyDelete
Before I made him delete it (because honestly who wants to know what they look like two weeks post partum?) he told me that he wanted to print that picture and call it "mom"
I just make it easier for the 2 year olds by announcing I'm going to the bathroom so we can all go together instead of them screaming at the door. Oh and I haven't been alone in 19 years :( with 17 more to go at the least, lol.ReplyDelete
I was trying to explain this to a friend who is "tired of sitting home alone" on a Friday night. What I wouldn't give. You described it brilliantly.ReplyDelete
wow. you are my hero. you have put words to my thoughts---hang on, have to get a toothpick for the three year old--- like i was saying, ---sorry...the 8 year old is talking--- ...anyway, great job-- oh, now it's the 10 and 12 year olds--- well, you know what i'm trying to say... :DReplyDelete
I've often considered installing a few deadbolt locks on the INSIDE of my bathroom door. I may get the balls do to it one day.ReplyDelete
All true! And sad. Evvverrrry ferkin time I finally sit down on the couch in the evenings (after working all day, shuttling kids to practices, cooking supper, cleaning supper, doing 3 loads of laundry and bathing everyone) every single breathing being climbs on me within 30 seconds of sitting down. Not just my onions but the cat AND the giant dog. My boobs gets elbowed and head-butted, I can't see the tv, my leg goes to sleep and forget checking my phone. AND ALL THE WHILE Husband is sitting opposite me. Alone. Bastard.ReplyDelete
OMG....totally nailed it today girls. My husband actually followed me into the bathroom the other day.....I think I understand now why monkeys throw poo at zoo visitors....total lack of privacy!ReplyDelete
I must tell you a secret to at least FOUR minutes alone, sipping a diet coke.ReplyDelete
Take kids out to dinner with husband. Kids act up at end of dinner. Sigh. Tell husband that YOU'LL wait around for the check and pay it and will grab the leftovers.
Act sad to have to be the one to pay.
He gathers up kids and brings them to the car.
THEN: sit back and sip your soda. Smile. Munch on leftover fries from kids' plates. Eat pickle left on husband's plate.
Pick up the check in a leisurely way. Check to make sure it was correct. Sip again. Sigh, and smile.
Slowly figure out the tip. Do the math. Sip. Sign precisely and with good handwriting.
Slowly gather up leftovers into containers. Lean back for one last moment in the booth. Relax. Then? Finally? Take a breath and rejoin the fray in the minivan.
And don't forget to complain about how LONG it took the waitress to return your credit card.

Oh I'm crying here!!! LMAO And it's only so damn hilarious because it is absolutely TRUE! My husband came into this when I already had 3 kids (we now have 4) and he totally didn't get that if I lock the door to the bathroom they will just sit out there screaming at me anyway. So why bother, I'm not getting a minute's worth of peace anyhow. Then we had baby 4 and baby 4 started walking... now he knows why I stopped bothering, #4 stands at the door and screams if he closes the door. I have no idea what it means to be alone anymore. I don't think I'd even know what to do with myself.ReplyDelete
I also can't STAND the conversations they try to start while you're taking a poo. I mean, c'mon. Poo-versation? Ick.ReplyDelete
Is it possible that there are some electromagnets in our knees that get activated at the birth of a child?
And WHY do they think it's a sign of affection to LEAVE THINGS ON ME? Like a tissue. Or a pollypocket shoe. Or maybe a wrapper? I feel like a damned Swiffer.

The Husband Paradox. This was great. But my husband always seems to think as soon as the kids are gone, I immediately want to have sex. "No I don't want to give you a BJ,HJ, or anything that ends with J. Because that means that I will have to be working. And I don't want to be working. And if I'm going to be working then there was no reason for the kids to leave in the first place. They could have just stayed home and I could have continued with my normal routine of what do you want now". And then it usually moves to "Are you hungry? Do you want to get something to eat?" Now I'm thinking "No I don't want anything to eat. I don't want to have sex of any kind. And that thing you keep doing with your mouth. You know. Where the words keep coming out. STOP IT! I just want to sit here in a catatonic state and watch uninterrupted TV."ReplyDelete
Love you guys!
The other day I took the munches to Mom's and went home to fog the house and realized it was the first time I had been -alone- in my house in over 5 years, and I was only alone because I was killing bugs. It takes a frakking PESTILENCE to get some quiet time.ReplyDelete
Aaahaha! Seriously! I love/feel ya on the comment about the 4 year old knowing your cycle. I used to be worried about my daughter (now going on 8y/o) seeing that but now I'm more worried about my own emotional scars because of it. My husband also falls in the bathroom stalker category. If I'm in there doing my business sometimes he'll talk to me through the door: "What are youuuuuuuu doin'? Goin' poooo?" and when I come out, he's always there. Just standing there like he has nothing better to do. I also LOATHE when people watch me put my makeup on, and both he and my daughter will just stand around in the doorway watching me until I slam the door in their faces in a huff.ReplyDelete

I once had to open a carton of applesauce that my 4 yo had brought me while I was standing in the shower. It was either that or listen to her and her brother banging on the door until I gave in and let them in the bathroom.ReplyDelete

The zoo animals in my home somehow find it necessary to bring home more animals..Not only do I have to chase after the monkeys I created but I also find myself chasing out birds, cats, dogs and the oh so famous lizards.ReplyDelete
This was a hilarious post but the comments are just as funny!ReplyDelete
I was going potty, with the door open 'cause why bother closing it, and my 4 yo dd disappeared down the stairs. I was thrilled that I would actually get to wipe alone when she reappeared...with a tampon...because she thought I needed one. Ugh!

Living alone for a couple of years was probably the best thing I ever did for myself. Granted, it was during college, so obviously it was a crazy fun time, but still - I lived alone and survived. (And miss it terribly at times.) I swear my head spins whenever girlfriends tell me they've never lived alone. Whuck? Living alone for a period of time is the best gift you'll ever give yourself.ReplyDelete
Oh my, hilarious! And the comments as well... goodness, the husbands really are the worst in not understanding though, Anonymous hit the nail on the head about anything ending in J being a Job. Fark off. Let me watch trash TV and let my brain go to mush, I really do not want to discuss politics/the news either, I really cannot add any more opinions or thoughts to my brain!ReplyDelete

I must have had mutant alien children..I could go to the bathroom alone!

my daily commute to and from work (the office- not the job at home lol) totals 2.5 hours per day. everyone at the office looks at me with the saddest pity face becuase i drive so far on a daily basis.... honestly, i enjoy every freaking minute and sometimes more if there's a traffic jam. Because I know from the time I get up at the ars crack of dawn till I leave for the office 1 of 4 of the kids (if not more some days) and dear hubby is attached to me like static cling. becuase it's always- where's this, why's this, or what's this (pointless questions to ask of me before my 4 cups of a.m. coffee) and when I get home from work, add to that equation all 4 kids, a husband and 2 dogs... and any neighborhood kid who's decided that what i'm having for dinner is better then what their momma is fixin' (even if i don't know what the heck we are having atm) and all of them act like they haven't seen me since the US has had a honest politician in government (yeah, like in forever!) so, i relish my drives to and from work and not once will i complain about traffic or high gas prices.... because that is my me-time.ReplyDelete
You know, I can't entirely blame my children. Seriously, I can't. My favorite incident involved my children blissfully watching a movie downstairs while I showered - which was interrupted 3 times with phone calls from people who had found a lost poodle with my phone number on its license (we don't have a dog), and then the police, also looking for the dog's owner. It is *impossible* to win the coveted Solitary Shower Reward once you've given birth; the entire universe conspires against you!ReplyDelete

OMG, this article and the comments are the best. I'm a new mom, but I feel you already. My hubby and I both have jobs that allow us to work from home, so our little angel stays with us. Amazing how it's always my duty to watch her during meal time and while he spends 30 minutes poo'ing and reading his manazines. Also amazing how after the baby is fed, bathed, and asleep, dinner is made and cleaned up, I finish any additional work I needed to do, laundry, etc. (while he is doing NOTHING)and sit down to watch tv, within 2.5 seconds - he needs his back scratched. Grrr.ReplyDelete

WHERE. IS. THE. REMOTE?ReplyDelete
Ok, first of all, I have never understood but now I know. The gravitational pull of my ass. My 6yo son is caught in the pull every. damn. second. He simply can NOT be more than an arm's length from my butt. Patting it. Whacking it. Resting his head on it. Running full speed into it. Poking it to watch the wiggles. Oh it's loads of fun. Now I know why. Is there any thing at all that breaks the pull?ReplyDelete
Second, I may just have to try throwing a little of my own poo and see if that clears out the bathroom. But wait. Then I'd have to clean it up. Crap. heh.
Third, Kate in MI, I do that very same thing. "Ok, honey, if you'll take them to the van I'll wait for binky the idiot to bring our check and make sure she got it right." (Then of course I leave a bigger tip cause really, she's not an idiot. She's probably got monkeys of her own and here she is at her job having to listen to my monkeys howling. Poor thing.) You'd think the husband would figure out that it almost never takes 10-15 minutes to bring the check and make change. But ah, it's an awesome time.
And again, Kate in MI, you're right. I am a damn swiffer too. "Princess snappy pants. I know you think I can do everything at one time but if you'll look closely, you'll see that I have 6 grocery bags in each hand, I'm trying to unlock the back door, the dog is trying to trip me and your brother is prairie dogging and has got to go potty right NOW. There is no possible way I can open the stupid orb you got out of the bubble gum machine that is super glued shut until I at least put ONE thing down. Yes, I still love you."
And finally, goodness. The whole husband thinking that the minute I get the kids gone I want to hop into bed? Even yesser. Leave me the fark alone, I'm sure there's an NCIS or Law and Order marathon on somewhere and I am absolutely going to dissolve into nothing if I don't get to sit for 10 minutes and not touch or be touched by any one, any thing, or any animal.
On the helpful side, Febreeze has an April fresh Downy flavor and the Barefoot Moscato is awesome. I'm going to spend the rest of my night with my face in the couch and a straw in my bottle. Good night!

When I was a kid, I remember that we could run through the house screaming out for mummy, like an axe murderer was chasing us. My mum never ever answered us when she was in the bathroom. That's how we knew where she was :) Now i understand why!ReplyDelete
But now....she has grandkids. And they follow her in no matter what.
Call it evolution. Call it karma. I'm just glad to get that 5 mins to myself while she goes to the bathroom...I can hang out in the kitchen sipping my cuppa.

OMG, I just SOBBED I was laughing so hard. Every birthday/ Christmas/ mother's day when he asks me what I want, I say "I'd like you to take the monsters away and leave me in peace." And he assumes I'm kidding. Last week I drove home from work, parked in my own garage, closed the door, and took a nap in my car. And he came out and WOKE ME UP to ask what I was doing!! My new MO is to lie about going into work early, then drive to a random parking lot and take a nap/check email/read.ReplyDelete
We have a tiny house and I don't even bother to close the bathroom door. (I can't even count the times I've answered an *urgent* question and then said the phrase "I'm pooping go away!") I have to TRY to remember to close it when we have company or go to other houses. Luckily, both are infrequent.ReplyDelete
I was the fifth of 5 so by the time I came around my mom had gotten the privacy beaten out of her. I never even expected it as a mom, I think it made the transition slightly easier. Either that or I am so sleep deprived that I just can't seem to care.
Holy crap, how I love this.ReplyDelete

This EXACT THING happened to me yesterday! Girl was trying to get my attention to help her put on a necklace while Boy was trying to LOOK CLOSELY at the doorknob while I tried to see to unlock it WHILE dangling 8 grocery bags from my abnormally strong forearms AND cradle a gallon of milk, WHILE, once the door opened, the dogs tried to escape. All the while, my husband was casually going in the side door, while carrying nothing. Followed by nobody.

PennyBroome! PrarieDogging?!! I nearly died after I read that.ReplyDelete
Whuck is the deal with husbands? Mine is the same way when the kids are gone - he thinks I want to be all frisky. Um, even noer. Leave me alone.
And how is it my DH can be on his computer for hours on end and not notice the tornadoes in the living room? They don't pester him at all. But when I try to check my email for 30 seconds they are either fighting and/or pestering the mess out of me.
And how is it they don't follow him into the bathroom? My 2 year old wants to sit in my lap while I poo... and the 4 year old is bringing cranes and trucks in and pulling toys out of the bathtub.
It's not fair. He sits and works in his nice quiet office (with his coffee from Caribou or breakfast) and I'm stuck in the zoo trying to check facebook because otherwise I wouldn't have any contact with adults at all.

K, so I thought I'd reverse psychology the shorties and told my 2nd youngest (2) that since she wouldn't leave mommy alone to go poop she was going to have to wipe my bottom when I was done. Well, dern if she didn't lunge at me with a wad of toilet paper giggling joyously that she was gonna be "the mommy". I seriously was screaming and kicking trying to get them all off me (she called reinforcements in - 3 and 6). Murtherfurkin reverse psychology my ass - literally! I'll never do that again!!!! Now I just go in w 3 extra magazines and now I'm prepared to entertain while I poo. :/ReplyDelete
Ahhahahaha, thanks for the laugh. I'm already counting the days till school starts again, so my 12 year old with Aspergers will stop trying to talk to me about vintage video game systems and "Mythbusters" and "Dirty Jobs," and my 9 year old will be with her social circle for hours each day (instead of interrupting me every 5 minutes the instant I sit down to watch something on the computer - somehow the headphones and fixed attention to the computer screen don't indicate to my kids that I'm trying to focus on something entertaining, and that I might not appreciate being interrupted 25 times in half an hour. . . .). Ahem. However, I do get some peace while doing chores, because the kids would rather not be drafted to help. Somehow it's just not the same as being blessedly, blissfully alone for an hour.ReplyDelete

Oh my goodness, this made me bust out laughing!ReplyDelete
My DH is the same about want to have "mommy and daddy time?" and not underderstanding my whuck expression. No, no, no. I want time where the only noise is what I choose to be included in my environment. He will take our two lovely howler monkeys to help me out thankfully, and give mommy alone time. (which is one reason he is still alive since he is in the AF and has been to Qatar 2x, Korea, now Australia/back and forth to Afghanistan, and Colorodo in a few months, and that's only this year.) However he then comes home and procedes to ask me "what did you do while we were gone?" Excuse me? Whuck? What do you think I did? NOTHING!!!!! I played games on the computer. I have to admit that I am conditioning him somewhat to what my expectations are after 7 1/2 years. However I'm not sure who's harder to train. My 10 year old stubborn granny black lab that I adopted last year who had been with one family and apparently not taught certain boundaries or my 35 year old husband with the mental challenge of being a 14 year old. Throw in 2 howler monkeys, a full time career in healthcare, the stress of trying to motivate people who are sick to get up and try in the nursing home setting, fibromyalgia and difficulty sleeping because of pain and you get why my anxiety level is extremely high right now and I want to have a panic attack. Top it off with the empty liquor cabinet and payday isn't until Thursday. That is, my, day.ReplyDelete
OMG funny. Our bathroom door doesn't even shut at the moment (and for some reason our land lord can't be bothered to fix it??!?) I've been a single mom for most of the last 4 years, and I finally figured out how to get alone time... mommy time out. With ear buds. Birdy girl goes to her room with her toys (and the door that's too stuck for her to open) and I go to mine. That is until my DF get's home from being out of town for three days... sigh. I just want to read my book! And the Barefoot Moscado? Asweome!ReplyDelete

@Sam – I have a picture of me holding my newborn son on my right shoulder, and my then-17-month-old daughter on my left shoulder. And we are all asleep in the recliner. hahaaaReplyDelete
As for using the potty alone, I never bother to fully close the door to the powder room anymore as boy-child gets pi$$ed if "locked out" from Mommy. Siiiiighhhhh
My "me time" is usually 10 minutes or so after I get out of the shower and before I wake girl-child up. Usually. Sometimes either boy-child or girl-child (or BOTH) Spidey-sense that Mommy is resting/checking her email/checking Facebook/whatever without them – and they wake. Early. Oh well – I am not about to get up at 5am just for a few precious moments of peace.

Survivor+™, Cobham Life Support's new wearable personal overboard survival system, has received a certificate of compliance from Lloyd's Register. To achieve the required standard, Survivor+ successfully completed all the materials and performance testing required under the IMO Life-Saving Appliance (LSA) Code, Section II, which allows it to be recognized internationally by the commercial maritime and offshore oil and gas industries as an IMO compliant personal life-saving appliance.
A significant step-change in worker safety, Survivor+ incorporates a SOLAS-approved inflatable life jacket and a tethered, military-qualified, personal life raft into a single compact vest. The integration of the life vest and raft, using Cobham's own vacuum-packing technology, is so ground-breaking, that no specific SOLAS category exists for it. Recognizing this, Cobham Life Support submitted Survivor+ for extensive laboratory and performance testing procedures witnessed by Lloyd's Register Surveyors. The successful testing resulted in a certificate of compliance for the system by Lloyd's Register, under IMO Resolution A.520 (13) for Personal Life-Saving Appliances. This IMO resolution was created to facilitate the evaluation, testing and acceptance of newly-developed products that do not fit into existing categories under SOLAS, "but which will provide the same or higher safety standards".

text: Howard W. LutnickGood morning and thank you for joining us on the second quarter conference call. With me today are BGC's President, Shaun Lynn, our Chief Operating Officer, Sean Windeatt, and our Chief Financial Officer, Graham Sadler. BGC's second quarter revenues were up 27.5% year-over-year, driven by the success of our real estate business, which generated $144.1 million in revenues and $14 million in pre-tax earnings. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank has become both a powerful force in commercial real estate and a very valuable part of BGC. We are very proud of Newmark's CEO, Barry Gosin, BGC's Global Head of Real Estate, Michael Lehrman, and our entire Newmark Grubb Knight Frank team. We have in front of us tremendous opportunities to grow and expand this asset class. Newmark has become a leader in many markets nationally, and continues to expand its market share and attract key professionals across the country. I am pleased to report that BGC's dividend per common share will again be $0.17 for the second quarter. I'd now like to turn the call over to Shaun. Shaun D. Lynn Thank you, Howard, and good morning everyone. Unless otherwise stated, the comparisons I will discuss are for the second quarter of 2012 versus a year earlier. Our overall brokerage revenues increased by 18.6%, driven by the performance of our real estate asset class. Lower activity from our large bank customers, however has contributed to declines in market activity industry-wide across the financial services asset classes. Against this challenging market environment, BGC's rates and foreign exchange businesses have held up well. Global volumes in rates have been muted due to quantitative easing undertaken by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks. BGC's rates revenues decreased by 7.8%, which compares favorably to volume declines of between 9% and 23% for Federal Reserve U.S. Treasuries and for the fixed income and interest rate products of Eurex, the CME, BrokerTec and Euronext. When quantitative easing dissipates, we believe that rates volumes will dramatically rise as historically high levels of government debt issuance around the world will drive business across our voice and electronic platforms.

South Mountain Hike
We had a fun New Years Eve day hiking at South Mountain. The weather was beautiful and it was so fun just hanging out with the family and letting the kids explore. Jayden was well entertained chasing a butterfly and they both got quite the collection of rocks that they begged to take home. Jayden even found a massively huge rock (top middle pic) that he was determined to carry through the rough terrain. I could here him grunting and groaning the whole way up the hills. When that kid sets his mind to something...

20yo Liam is 5ft 8in tall, weighs 130 lbs and has a slim, fit body with a big cut cock that really shoots a massive load. He's straight, but interested in doing any sort of porn, and chose Straight Fraternity to launch his career. He runs track, which shows with his fit, lean body; plans to enter the military and likes to go commando!
Liam starts off chatting to the cameraman, tells him a bit about himself, then stands up and takes of his shirt and pants, and suddenly he's stark naked - Liam goes commando! He's also got a full pubic bush, seemingly a rare sight in this day and age (tho he does admit that he normally shaves down there), a nice set of big dangly balls and a cut black cock. He's a pretty relaxed guy, and soon takes his dick in hand and strokes it. It quickly grows from something initially quite small, to a substantial piece of man-meat: he is rightly proud of it too! He's not shy about his body and happily lifts up his legs to show the camera his straight-boy arsehole; not something all straight guys like to show off so readily! Then he starts to pump his cock and before long he's about to shoot his load. Just as he's about to cum he winches a couple of times as he gives his cock those final few strokes, then breathes heavily, audibly sighs and shoots his cum load which spurts up into the air from his cock-head, then dribbles down the shaft, along his balls and down onto the couch - and what a load it is too - massive in fact!

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
A pair of sloths have speeded up their usual slow dating game to produce London Zoo's first baby sloth, to the surprise of their keepers.
Zookeepers at ZSL London Zoo were shocked to discover two-toed sloth Marilyn was pregnant as they were unaware she had mated with male partner Leander, who arrived from Germany in 2012 to be paired with her.
Staff at the zoo had no idea the pair had acknowledged each other, but while they were playing it cool in public it seems that after hours the "sneaky" sloths had hit it off.
Two-toed sloths have been known to take nearly a decade to form a pair bond and breed, but factoring in an estimated 11-month pregnancy, it appears Marilyn and Leander were far from slow off the mark, taking six months to successfully mate.
Zookeeper Tegan McPhail said: "To say we were surprised when Marilyn fell pregnant is something of an understatement - we weren't aware that she'd even been near the male.
"When Leander arrived at the zoo at the end of 2012, he and Marilyn just didn't appear particularly interested in each other, but we knew that with sloths these things can take some time.
"However, with the arrival of the first sloth to be born at ZSL London Zoo, it appears that it was all an act on their behalf and our two very sneaky sloths were getting amorous behind our backs."
Keepers do not know the sex of the new arrival, which is spending its days clinging on to Marilyn, and will not be able to tell if it is a boy or a girl until it is scanned by vets as there are no external differences between males and females.

Plan To Sell Conservation Land Irks Public
"Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson wants to sell 9,000 acres of remote desert mountains near Terlingua that the Conservation Fund gave the state 16 years ago."
"But the Christmas Mountains land, a rugged area bordering Big Bend National Park, comes with so many deed restrictions that commercial development will be impossible."
"Livestock grazing is not allowed. All-terrain vehicles can't be used. Telephone, electric, gas, water and sewer lines are prohibited. So are satellite dishes."
"The few primitive roads on the land can be repaired, but new roads and buildings, including restrooms, are not allowed except for a caretaker's cabin."
"Patterson said private ownership will allow public access that the state can't provide, although critics say the sale will mean a loss of public access."

Complete Story
Earn Your Purdue University Certificate in Industrial Distribution
Convention Attendees Get Credits Towards Certificate
As a founding member of the University of Industrial Distribution (UID), NAHAD provides the industry's premier educational offering, at the lowest possible cost.
UID is an annual four-day, university-based educational program where distribution and manufacturing professionals hone their skills and improve their competencies. Students choose their own full-day or half-day courses, offered by the industry's leading faculty and experts.
Since 1994 over 7,000 industry leaders have attended UID sessions. Through this partnership NAHAD members may earn the Purdue University Professional Certificate of Industrial Distribution upon the completion of 90 hours of eligible instruction that meets Purdue's requirement of 9 Continuing Education Units [CEUs] or CEU equivalents. There is no charge for the Certificate. The required 90 hours (9 CEUs) can be completed by:
1. Attending at least one four-day UID program (30 hours) plus 60 additional hours of approved continuing education credits, including NAHAD or industry-sponsored educational activities, or,
2. Completing two UID programs (60 hours) plus 30 hours of approved continuing education credits, or,
3. Completing three UID programs (90 hours).
Attendance at NAHAD's annual Convention provides such educational credits. For 2013, attendees may earn up to 10 credit hours towards their Certificate.
Nancye Combs is presenting a session on Human Capital Investment – Selecting a Winning Sales Professional at NAHAD"s 29th Annual Convention to be held in Washington, DC in April. Here is an excerpt from her program for your consideration:
Hiring the best starts with a gatekeeper who understands what it takes to identify a great employee. Sales professionals need the knowledge of your products and services, along with the skills to mine for customers, land the accounts, follow through on their promises and build the business. Selecting the person with both the technical ability and the selling skills requires an arsenal of tools, as well as an understanding of the techniques for selecting a winning sales staff.
This rapid-fire interactive session will prepare you to identify great employee candidates and qualify them to become part of your sales team, using a valid selection system. You will learn from a pro and leave with the knowledge and tools that will be invaluable. Topics covered include:
- What Do Hiring Specialists Look for in a Winning Sales Professional? – There are three key questions every hiring specialist needs to answer to qualify a sales professional.
- Why is a Resume Inadequate? – The resume is a marketing tool and embellished to create a favorable image. You must know where to look and what to look for to avoid being "duped" by a phony resume.
- What Questions Should You Ask? – The employment interview is the most critical part of the employment process. Learning which questions to ask is the key to finding a winner. You will learn them during your session.
- Is the Expense of Pre-employment Testing Necessary? – Pre-employment testing is invaluable only if the process includes the right test to identify the right person for the job. Learn which tests are worth the time and money.
- Are There Some Red Flags to Look for That Could Spell Trouble? – Red flags are the warning signs that success is unlikely with some sales candidates. Winning sales professionals need specific qualities that assure they can learn the work, make presentations, overcome objections, close the sale and manage the complete sales process. Learning to recognize them will reduce frustration and turnover.
- Why is the Background Check Critical? – Negligent hiring is a rapidly growing legal problem. You will learn how to visit a free Internet site and quickly eliminate those who are the greatest threat to your business.

Your 10 most watched programs of the week on Slingbox, sports edition, were as follows. Check after the list for a few quick thoughts on this week's most watched live sports:
1. SportsCenter
2. 2015 Pro Bowl
3. Liga MX soccer
4. Copa del Rey soccer
5. 2015 Australian Open tennis
6. La Liga soccer
7. NBA: Thunder vs. Cavaliers
8. NBA: Heat vs. Bulls
9. NBA: Spurs vs. Bulls
10. NBA: Rockets vs. Warriors
The NFL's all-star game, the Pro Bowl, is often ridiculed — the players don't play hard (if they show up at all), the rules are different, and it's resorted to gimmicks like the new "unconferenced" format to try to drum up interest. All that can obscure the fact that, given how ridiculously popular the NFL is, a lot of people still watch it. That was apparent from our data this week, which showed the game shooting up to the highest non-SportsCenter spot on the top 10.
The trio of soccer leagues that we've seen showing up for the past month or so — Liga MX, Copa del Rey and La Liga — were all there again, as was the 2015 Australian Open, which just kicked off in Melbourne. And basketball is starting to make a real dent in the list as well: The Cavaliers have once again shown themselves to be a Slingbox favorite this week, as have the Bulls, who were featured in not one but two games on the top 10. And the Warriors, who have the best record in the NBA, crept onto the list for the first time in a while.
We'll be back next week with another set of top 10s.

Hotel location is bad if you wish to discover the surrounding areas on foot. Very difficult to find other decent food outlets nearby the hotel, so we end up eating in the hotel a lot. There's only hotel one restaurant too. The hotel offers many Western TV channels that are great. Service is excruciating during breakfast. I usually end up being the "waiter" in my group clearing plates and pouring coffee! No one seems to really know what to do or doesn't have a proper system in place. The group consists of my parents and aunts/uncles (senior citizens). Highlight of the stay: Our 3 hours spa treatment in the hotel. Given a choice, I would pay a little more to stay in an international 5-Star hotel. I would still recommend this hotel but with caveats.

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
The owners of dead or injured animals are expressing anger and frustration at getting repeated telephone calls that a federal judge has called "abusive and harassing" from the company at the heart of the contaminated pet food scandal.
Claire Moomjian of Georgetown, S.C., lost her dog, Sophie, to kidney failure on March 9. Moomjian believes her pet's death was caused by contaminated food manufactured by Menu Foods, based in Ontario, Canada.
She said she was contacted twice by Crawford and Co., an Atlanta-based insurance adjustor representing Menu Foods. Moomjian says the caller suggested that by refusing to answer his questions, she was hurting her own case.
The calls to Moomjian and other pet owners were the subject of a hearing last week in Camden, N.J., before U.S. District Judge Noel Hillman. Lawyers from six firms representing pet owners who claim their dogs or cats were harmed by Menu's food asked Hillman to stop the company from contacting their clients directly.
Hillman ordered Menu Foods to have no contact with owners unless their attorneys are involved in the discussion, according to a transcript of the hearing obtained by USA TODAY. Menu hired Crawford and Co. to contact pet owners who had called the company to report animal illnesses or deaths, according to the transcript.
At an earlier hearing on May 18, the judge had cautioned Menu and Crawford that they should not contact people who had joined one of the lawsuits against the company. Legally, Menu cannot contact those plaintiffs directly but must go through their lawyers.
Moomjian said she got her first call on April 24. "They did not say they were Crawford and Company; they said they were Menu Foods," she said. "They asked me some probing questions but refused to provide me with answers to my questions about who they were exactly.
"The gal on the phone would only provide her first name, would not give me a return telephone number nor any information about how they got my name and number. She only kept asking me questions about the types of food I fed my baby, how long was I giving her that brands."
By pressing, she learned that the caller was from Crawford. A few days later, Moomjian got another call from Crawford. "This time it was a man. I told him right off that under advice of my legal council, I refused to answer any of his questions. He then became arrogant and rudely asked 'So you don't want a settlement package?' "
"Why is this not the kind of abusive conduct that is described extensively in the case law, designed to harass putative class members who are not yet fully informed about what their rights are under the law?" Hillman asked Menu's lawyer, Edward Ruff of Pretzel & Stouffer, at the May 23 hearing.
Calls and e-mails to Ruff on Friday were not returned. Operators at Crawford directed USA TODAY to call back today, after the holiday.
Menu posted a notice on its website after the hearing, saying it could not have direct contact with individual pet owners "for the time being" because of the court order.
Pamela Newman of Wyoming, Michigan, now has to feed her Manx cat Baby Girl with an eyedropper. "She dropped from 18 pounds to 7," she said. "The vet says there's no saving her." She reported receiving recorded messages and calls from Menu representatives. "They asked me if I would talk to them about taking some money and sign off. I said, 'Nope.' "
Mike Floyd of Austin called Menu after his dog Ralph suffered partial kidney failure. Beginning in mid-May, he began getting recorded messages from Crawford saying a settlement packet was in the mail.
"It appears that the company was engaging in a cynical strategy, designed to settle some of the strongest claims cheaply and induce pet owners to give up information it might be able to use to defend against others," said Blim & Edelson, one of the firms representing pet owners, in a letter Friday that was sent to clients and posted on Internet blogs for pet owners. Moomjian, Newman and Floyd are clients of the Chicago-based firm.
"It seems to me that Menu Food is out to do whatever Menu Foods wants to do in a way that could adversely impact the rights" of possible members of a class action suit against the company, said Hillman, according to the transcript.
Since mid-March, Menu has recalled wet pet food products sold under more than 150 brand names. The Food and Drug Administration has linked the contamination to wheat flour imported from China that was tainted with the industrial chemical melamine.
The FDA has said unconfirmed reports indicate more than 4,000 animals were killed.
Menu is facing dozens of lawsuits stemming from the recall. This week a federal multi-district litigation panel is expected to will meet in Las Vegas to determine which district court will hear the cases against Menu. The panel should is expected to announce a decision by mid-summer.

Yesterday the head of Ministry Alexander Novak said that Russia has set the price of Russian gas for Ukraine at $ 180 per thousand cubic meters. According to him, this is lower than the price of the first quarter to $ 212.

Description: "The world is a surreal pageant," writes Stephen Kuusisto. "Ahead of me the shapes and colors suggest the sails of Tristan's ship or an elephant's ear floating in air, though in reality it is a middle-aged man in a London Fog rain coat which billows behind him in the April wind." So begins Kuusisto's memoir, Planet of the Blind, a journey through the kaleidoscope geography of the partially-sighted, where everyday encounters become revelations, struggles, or simple triumphs. Not fully blind, not fully sighted, the author lives in what he describes as "the customs-house of the blind", a midway point between vision and blindness that makes possible his unique perception of the world. In this singular memoir, Kuusisto charts the years of a childhood spent behind bottle-lens glasses trying to pass as a normal boy, the depression that brought him from obesity to anorexia, the struggle through high school, college, first love, and sex. Ridiculed by his classmates, his parents in denial, here is the story of a man caught in a perilous world with no one to trust--until a devastating accident forces him to accept his own disability and place his confidence in the one relationship that can reconnect him to the world--the relationship with his guide dog, a golden Labrador retriever named Corky. With Corky at his side, Kuusisto is again awakened to his abilities, his voice as a writer and his own particular place in the world around him. Written with all the emotional precision of poetry, Kuusisto's evocative memoir explores the painful irony of a visually sensitive individual--in love with reading, painting, and the everyday images of the natural world--faced with his gradual descent into blindness. Folded into his own experience is the rich folklore the phenomenon of blindness has inspired throughout history and legend.

Colombo: Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene took over from Sanath Jayasuriya as his country's leading run-getter on Tuesday as England were sent on a leather hunt in the second Test here at Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka, replying to England's first innings total of 351, took their overnight score of 105-2 to 282-3 by tea on the third day.
Jayawardene was unbeaten on 120, his 20th Test century that equalled Aravinda de Silva's Sri Lankan record and also helped him surpass the recently-retired Jayasuriya's career tally of 6,973 runs.
The 30-year-old now has 6,983 runs from 92 Tests while Jayasuriya played 110 matches before retiring from the longer format of the game after the first Test in Kandy last week.
Jayawardene shone once again on his favourite hunting ground where he scored 374 against South Africa two years ago during a world record stand of 624 with Kumar Sangakkara (287).
Chamara Silva was the other batsman at the crease on nine, having put on 33 so far for the fourth wicket with his captain.
Centurions Jayawardene and Michael Vandort put on 227 for the third wicket after coming together after lunch on the second day with Sri Lanka struggling at 22-2.
The pair batted through the morning sssion before left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom broke the stand with his fourth delivery with the second new ball an hour after lunch by trapping Vandort leg-before for 138.
Vandort hit 18 boundaries, and a six off Monty Panesar, but failed by two runs to surpass his Test best of 140 against Bangladesh in 2002.
England, who lost the first Test by 88 runs, were denied quick wickets after they had removed the prolific Sangakkara and Upul Tharanga cheaply on Monday.
Sangakkara hit 152 in Kandy to become the first batsman in history to compile 150-plus scores in four consecutive Tests.
But the tourists were frustrated by the slow wicket that offered no assistance to the bowlers.
The nearest England came to taking a wicket in the morning session was when Panesar got one to spin sharply across Jayawardene's bat, but wicket-keeper Matthew Prior failed to take the thin edge.
Jayawardene moved to 88 when he edged Steve Harmison to gully where Ian Bell dived in front, but indicated to the umpires he had picked up the ball on the half-volley and was not claiming a catch.
Kevin Pietersen was given out similarly on the first day after umpire Daryl Harper declined to call for television replays which showed that Chamara Silva had grassed the ball before holding it.
Leading Test bowler Muttiah Muralitharan, who grabbed a five-wicket haul in England's first innings, said before the start of the day's play that the slow wicket may not produce a result.
"It's going to get lower and lower, and slower and slower, and it will be very hard to get a result unless something extraordinary happens," the off-spinner said.
"It's a normal SSC wicket and someone has to bat very badly to lose this Test match."
Brief Scores (at tea, D-3):
England Ist innings 351 Vs Lanka 282 for 3 (Jayawardene 120*, Vandort 138; Sidebottom 3 for 70).
