Giordano’s South Loop

Recommended by : Tracy Anderson (Tracy Anderson Method), Shanola Hampton (Actress)

Cuisine:Italian, Pizza. Price: $$. Location: .

The original creators of the Chicago-style stuffed pizza, this pizzeria has received wide acclaim from critics for its recipe. Their pizza dough takes several days to prepare, and results in a soft flaky crust that pairs perfectly with their herb-filled, homemade tomato sauce. The pizzas come traditionally with only cheese inside, but a plethora of toppings can be added.

“In Chicago, I am obsessed with Giordano’s Pizza and the great soul food there.” – Tracy Anderson (Tracy Anderson Method)

Griffin’s 31 points not enough in 105-96 loss to Miami

By Tim Reynolds, The Associated Press

Saturday, March 3, 2018

MIAMI >> Kelly Olynyk and Josh Richardson each scored 17 points, and the Miami Heat enhanced their playoff hopes with a 105-96 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night.

James Johnson scored 14 points, Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow each had 13 and Dwyane Wade added 11 for Miami. Hassan Whiteside grabbed 19 rebounds for the Heat, who won for only the fourth time in their last 13 games.

Blake Griffin scored 31 points and Andre Drummond finished with 22 points and 18 rebounds for the Pistons, who were playing their fifth game in seven nights — four of those on the road.

Reggie Bullock scored 11 points for the Pistons, who have lost eight of their last 10 overall — and 13 of their last 14 on the road.

The win gave Miami a four-game cushion over No. 9 Detroit for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, with both clubs having 19 games remaining. There’s no shortage of shifting still possible in a jampacked East race for home-court advantage — with this win, No. 8 Miami got within three games of No. 4 Washington.

Rodney McGruder’s 3-pointer with 7:19 remaining put Miami up by eight, and Wade tried to set him up for another on the next Heat possession. Instead, McGruder made the extra pass to Olynyk for another 3 — and in a span of about 30 seconds, a five-point lead swelled to 94-83.

That was Miami’s first double-digit lead of the final quarter, and the Heat kept control the rest of the way.

Down by nine early, and after not leading by more than three in either of their last two games, the Heat caught fire in the first half. Miami outscored Detroit 47-20 over a 17-minute stretch, with Dragic and Olynyk each scoring nine in that span and the Heat holding the Pistons to 26 percent shooting.

Miami’s lead was still 18 going into the final minute of the half, before the Pistons closed with a mild flurry.

Winslow committed a Flagrant-1 foul against Griffin and Detroit scored five points off that foul — two free throws and a 3-pointer cutting Miami’s lead to 59-46 at the break.

The Pistons steadily closed the gap in the third, outscoring Miami 24-15 and getting within four going into the fourth. They got within four on two other occasions early in the fourth, but no closer.

Pistons: Saturday started a stretch where Detroit plays six playoff contenders in a seven-game span. After that, nine of the Pistons final 13 are against teams under .500. ... Detroit outscored Miami in the first quarter of all four games this season, albeit by a total of nine points — one on Saturday. ... Griffin hadn’t scored more than 27 in his five previous games at Miami.

Heat: Bam Adebayo (personal reasons) was not with the team, while Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington (both with quad bruises) were again sidelined. Adebayo is expected to play Monday. ... The Heat had one field goal in the final 5:56 of the third.

Wade had a special pair of sneakers at his locker before the game, with the logo of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High adorning the toes and with the name of student Joaquin Oliver — one of 17 victims of that school shooting near Miami last month — printed on them. Oliver was buried in a Wade jersey; Wade met with his family Saturday.

In the four Miami-Detroit games this season, neither team used the same starting lineup twice. Both had 10 different players start at least one game in the season series, and only Dragic, Richardson and Reggie Bullock started all four matchups.

Pistons: Visit Cleveland on Monday.

Heat: Host Phoenix on Monday.

beer wine (1)THERE is finally a medically authority on the ultimate bar dilemma between beer and wine.

It is known that these beverages can contribute to weight gain, liver problems and hangovers, but health professionals have revealed that red wine is ‘healthier’ than beer.

The beneficial powers of wine polyphenols which, in small doses, contribute to a healthy heart were the tipping point.

Red wine contains more polyphenols than white wine, making it the healthier choice of the two.

But is this enough to boycott beer forever?

  1. Any possible “health benefits” of these respective glugs are totally outweighed by the poison of alcohol. So don’t kid yourself. What the hell, eat , drink and be merry, because you know what’s in store…..

  2. Nicotine in all it’s disgusting forms is a huge killer but the biggest by far both directly and indirectly is alcohol in all it’s forms. I like wine but realise how addictive it can be and over the course of my life, I’ve known many who, have destroyed theirs and ruined the lives of lots of others but it and tobacco pull in lots of revenue, so no government is going to do the right thing for it’s people and make both class A drugs.

Lady Bird ‘most overrated’ film

Saoirse Ronan and Beanie FeldsteinImage copyright Universal
Image caption Critics adored Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan and Beanie Feldstein

Lady Bird is the film that’s been most overrated by critics out of all of this year’s Oscar nominees, a BBC study has suggested.

The drama had stellar reviews from film critics, but audiences have been a bit less generous.

The difference between fan and critic score is larger than for any other 2018 Oscar-nominated feature film.

At the other end of the scale, The Greatest Showman was the movie that fans loved more than critics.

The study compared ratings from Metacritic, which gives each film a score based on critics’ reviews, with those on IMDB, which allows filmgoers to post their own ratings.

For Lady Bird, which is nominated for five Oscars including best picture, Metacritic rates it 94 out of 100.

IMDB gave it 7.7 out of 10, based on 57,130 user ratings. Using the same scale as the critic score, 7.7 becomes 77 – a difference of 17 points.

No other film nominated for an Oscar this year has a bigger gap between critic and audience opinion. So who’s right?

“Well, it doesn’t matter what critics say about a film if it doesn’t make money,” says Emma Jones, film critic and editor of Electra Media.

It’s “not very surprising” that Greta Gerwig’s coming-of-age film is better loved by critics, she adds.

“She’s always been a very independent film-maker, with an incredibly dry sense of humour, which isn’t always to everyone’s taste. But it is very much to critics’ taste.”

One other film was received as warmly by critics as Lady Bird – Christopher Nolan’s World War Two blockbuster Dunkirk also has a Metascore of 94. But fans preferred it to Lady Bird overall, rating it 8.0 on IMDB.

Image caption Hugh Jackman won audiences over – but critics disagree

But neither audience nor critic ratings are everything. Box office takings are also a measure of a film’s popularity.

“Everything that a critic says or a fan says on these review sites is completely subjective,” Jones says.

Meanwhile, The Greatest Showman, the musical starring Hugh Jackman as PT Barnum, is up for just one Oscar, for best original song.

It has a Metascore of 48, but fans have given it an 8.0 rating on IMDB – higher than Lady Bird.

However, Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig needn’t get too worried – being “overrated” by critics isn’t necessarily a bad thing for its chances of a best picture statuette on Sunday.

Overall, best picture winners usually appeal more to critics than audiences.

Looking at all Oscar nominees since 2000, best picture winners have an average rating gap of six points in favour of critics.

All but three best film winners in the last 18 years have been preferred by critics.

The three that got a higher rating from fans are Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind and Crash.

My Sister's Weight Loss Journey & Why I'm So Proud of Her

With my cousin Sheetal in November 2017. Photo captured in Goa

If you happen to know my family personally, you would surely be accustomed to our culinary choices and the amount of food we eat. We are far ahead from the term 'foodie'; we're epicureans––people who are devoted to the sensual enjoyment derived from food. If you wish to know me and understand why I am the way I am, you should dine with me and my extended family of Bhagwats. Join us while we're devouring the scrumptious prasad of ukdiche modak and waran bhaat on Ganesh Chaturthi as we chitchat about anything and everything (mostly related to food) or on a Sunday afternoon when we're having the renowned Bedekar misal and comparing it with other misal joints from Thane and Kolhapur.

Additionally, you would know our affection towards chiwdas and bhadangs and farsaans. Being completely in accordance with such a gourmand family, my cousin Sheetal is a typical Bhagwat––meaning, she loves nibbling on farsaan and sweets from time to time. There has not been a single occasion when someone has opened a pack of snacks and she has not eaten fistfuls of it (even today she eats at least half a fist of it). Out of six cousins, only my sibling and I used to watch what we eat, but now I'm glad my cousin joined our team too.

Clicked at Arambol Beach, Goa in November 2017

Sheetal weighed around 92 kgs before and after passionately following her weight loss regime weighs an unbelievable 65 kgs now (according to the checkup she did two weeks back) in just nine months. The other night, when my cousin Ishan (who is her sibling) had visited me, we were talking about how incredibly dedicated Sheetal is and how proud we are. Ishan was joking about how he had never in his wildest dreams imagined his sister to lose weight.

What I am most surprised about her weight loss journey is that the woman leaves her house at 6:45 am and gets back home around 8:15 pm every day. To maintain this schedule, she wakes up at 5:30 am, does 12 minutes of cardio, has breakfast and gets ready, rides her moped to a bus stop from where the company bus takes her to her workplace. Considering her frenzied roster coupled with her love for food, it's undeniably remarkable.

I don't wish to reveal much of it, but her weight loss regime includes drinking shakes from Herbalife paired with a diet plan. She has also been asked to stay away from baked items, sweets, potatoes, maida, and the like, and do a light workout each day. She follows a fuller workout routine on weekends to maintain the overall health. Also, the trick every dietician would pass on: Intake of small meals after every 3.5 hours.

A comparison between my cousin before the weight loss and after (in November 2017)

She plans to lose 5 kgs more as according to her BMI, she should ideally weigh approx. 60 kgs. I am a cent percent sure she would achieve her target sooner and all I want now is for her to maintain her body. She is determined to eat well and avoid superficially delicious food with working out regularly, of course!

Here's to my sister's amazing dedication...

Have you been moved by any person's weight loss success? Would love to hear it!

Technologies Used in Rapid Production Prototyping

The most common two processes we use at ThermoFlex to make top-quality, durable prototypes are selective laser sintering, and stereolithography. In selective laser sintering, a powerful laser fuses particles to your chosen material and creates the shape of your prototype. With stereolithography, a container of liquid UV curable resin and laser is used to form your prototype piece by piece. Besides these two methods, there is also cast urethane and fabricated wood or plastic models. In this post, we will focus on selective laser sintering and stereolithography.

If speed and efficiency are important to you then stereolithography is a great protyping technology to use as it is the quickest method of prototyping available. Oftentimes, this processing method takes less than a few hours to produce accurate, high quality prototypes. Besides being quick and efficient stereolithography used the best material technology so that your prototype is as rugged and durable as possible.

If precision is more important than quickness and efficiency, selective laser sintering is likely the rapid production prototyping technology you will want to use. Selective laser sintering creates a higher quality surface area and heightened accuracy. This prototyping method is great for prototypes that need to be absolutely precise such as extremely small parts and medical device trays.

At ThermoFlex, we are an experienced and trusted industry leading provider of rapid prototyping services. We know the absolute importance of making sure that your prototype meets the requirements and standards of your industry. We have worked with many industries from automobile manufacturers to medical equipment manufacturers, and more. If you have been looking for an experienced and proven company who will work with you to produce the perfect prototype, do not hesitate to give us a call or send us a message today!

"A Good Deal"

  • Published in Local

County and governor push to get Amazon headquarters in MoCo logo1With an estimated 50,000 potential jobs hanging in the balance, Montgomery County is among the 20 communities vying to be the location of Amazon’s second headquarters, the company announced last week.

Local officials were pleased to see that the County made the cut in a competitive field composed mainly of major cities, each of which is bending over backwards to woo the retailer with a seemingly endless arsenal of tax subsidies and other incentives.

“As the only county in the country on the short list, having the ability to move forward for further consideration is a real honor,” said County Executive Ike Leggett (D). “I believe our initial proposal made an extremely strong case for Montgomery County as a great place to do business, and I look forward to working with Amazon to bring jobs and investment to the County.”

Local GOP offices vandalized

  • Published in Local

MC Republicans place a sign on their front law disavowing hate signs pasted on their front door 1Local Republicans place a sign on their front lawn disavowing hate signs pasted on their front door. COURTESY PHOTO  Although Montgomery County Police say they are investigating the posting of white supremacist fliers on the front door of the Montgomery County Republican Party headquarters as an act of vandalism, MCGOP Central Committee Chairman Richard Jurgena says the posting of those fliers is a hate crime against Republicans by those who aim to smear them as racists.

"It is indeed an act to smear our party with an implication that we support the beliefs of the posters, which we definitely do not believe in or support in any way," Jurgena said. "We believe this was a hate crime."

Late Saturday evening around 10:00 p.m. security footage recorded two individuals approaching the front door of the GOP office on Crabbs Branch Way with what appeared to be a jar containing a liquid mixture and white paper posters.

A photo provided by Jurgena shows four posters bearing the logo of the Patriots’ Front – a white supremacist group – as well as the address of the website attached to the office’s entrance. The website accessible at the address features a manifesto that appears to be consistent with white supremacist views.

Business Incentives at Work: Fox Comes to County, Discovery Consolidates

Fox Broadcasting Company affiliates WTTG and WDCA will move from Northwest D.C. to Bethesda in 2021, bringing more than 200 employees to the County.

Discovery Communications will consolidate 230 technical and creative people, now working on Kennett Street in downtown Silver Spring, to its headquarters on Georgia Avenue in 2018.

Economic development incentives from Montgomery County and the State of Maryland are fostering both moves. The incentives include grants from the County, loans from the State, and tax breaks from both.

MoCo makes bid for Amazon

  • Published in Local logo1Just two weeks since Amazon asked states and counties to bid for its second headquarters—a project that could mean 50,000 jobs and $5 billion in investment to the winning locality—Montgomery County and competitors all around the country were busy putting their proposals together.

Seattle-based Amazon asked for bids on Sept. 7, and gave just six weeks for initial proposals due Oct. 19. From those, Amazon will select finalists to compete for the prize with fully-specified bids.

According to the Seattle Times, more than 100 cities/counties and states/provinces in the U.S. and Canada are putting together proposals. Amazon spokesperson Drew Herdener said at this early stage in the process, “Every city is on an equal playing field.” He indicated the company will choose finalists from the initial applicants, and will select a winner next year.

Even within the state of Maryland and the D.C. area, Montgomery County faces substantial competition. On Sept. 13, Gov. Larry Hogan threw his support to a bid to bring the Amazon project to Port Covington in Baltimore, a site owned by Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank and investment firm Goldman Sachs. Hogan said he would personally lobby Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on behalf of the Baltimore bid.

United belong to 'second level'

Sports | 14 Sep 2017

Manchester United cannot be considered among the top band of teams in the Champions League, manager Jose Mourinho insisted after his side brushed aside Basel 3-0 on their competition return.

Goals from substitutes Marouane Fellaini and Marcus Rashford sandwiched Romelu Lukaku's first goal in the competition proper as United opened their Group A campaign in straightforward fashion at Old Trafford.

There were eye-catching wins elsewhere - Barcelona beating Juventus 3-0, big-spending Paris Saint-Germain crushing Celtic 5-0 and Chelsea thumping Azerbaijan minnows Qarabag 6-0 - and Mourinho said United could not currently be considered in the same bracket.

"I think for these teams that you are speaking of and for the Real Madrids, Barcelonas and Bayerns, the Champions League starts in February," Mourinho said. "Now is just the warming-up. And in February, when us English teams are trying to survive after the winter period, they are fresh and ready after these warm-ups.

"I think we are in the second level. The second level is, 'let's qualify, let's make the points to qualify for the knockout phase. When we do that, let's enjoy playing against the big guys'."

This was United's first game in the top continental competition since December 2015. An injury to Paul Pogba aside, United could scarcely have asked for a more straightforward reintroduction to a tournament they have won three times. But Mourinho criticized his players for easing off after Lukaku's 53rd-minute header put them 2-0 up, accusing them of playing "PlayStation football" decorated by unnecessary "flicks and tricks."

Pogba left the stadium on crutches after being forced off in the 18th minute with a suspected hamstring problem.

In Group D, Lionel Messi netted twice and helped set up Ivan Rakitic for another at Nou Camp as Barcelona exacted revenge for their quarter-final loss to Juventus last season.

In Group B, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani all scored as PSG began their campaign by routing Celtic in Glasgow. "They are a really special team and they are going to be close to winning it for sure," Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers said of PSG.

Housing Associations

Housing Associations are not-for-profit organisations that are independent from the council. Housing Associations are the main developers of new homes in social housing.

The council has nomination rights to most housing association properties in the district. This means the council nominates applicants on the Housing Register who are successful in 'bidding' for properties through Choice Based Lettings.

How to apply?

There are two ways to apply for a housing association home – either directly with the housing association or through your local council.

Many housing associations run low-cost home ownership schemes. These let you buy a 'share' of a property and pay rent on the rest of it. You have the option over time of buying more shares until you eventually own the whole property.

Not all Housing Association tenants have the facility to exercise 'The Right to Acquire'. For further information please contact your Housing Association.

A full list of Housing Associations operating within the Herts Choice Homes area, including the Three Rivers District, can be found here.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Tough girls are proving tackle football isn't just for boys.

You might think the hits that come along with football are just for the boys, but two girls in North Little Rock are showing that they too, can compete in the world of tackle football.

"I felt like I could be one of those girls who help to show guys that girls can do the same thing they do," said Arabella Gay.

This will be 9-year old Gay's first year playing youth football for the North Little Rock Police Athletic League. It's a sport she's longed to play.

"To catch, throw, also be safety and to do defense, and it's been fun," said Gay.

Gay plays for the Cowboys. And on the Enforcers there's some girl power on that team, too.

"I like to play football because I like to tackle people and make them fumble and get us W's," said Syriayah Jarrett.

Jarrett has been playing since she was 5 years old. Both girls play under the guidance of former police officer and PAL Director Matt Grace.

"We knew we would have some girls who would be able to step up and play the sport and do it well and we do," said Grace.

"I don't really like people going easy on me, I would like to be tackled normally. Just like all the other boys. They think I'm cool," Gay said.

If you want to see the girls in action, their first game is August 12 at the North Little Rock High School Football Field.

No Ivanka, Daddy’s Not a Feminist.

Remember H.R. 321 and H.R. 255, first presented back in January?

321 was submitted by Barb Comstock and aims at forcing NASA to draw up a plan to educate and hire more women in the aeronautical and space fields. It serves to make NASA actively engage with students in the STEM Program (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curriculum existing to educate more girls). 321 was tweaked in the House to tailor it strictly for the sciences that involve domestic projects. I supported 321 then, and I support now, though I would like to have seen it extend beyond NASA.

HR 255 is an amendment presented by Liz Etsy to bolster the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act by merging it with the Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act. This one’s a bit tricky for me, made worse by the stage show of its signing. Ivanka Trump promotes her father’s signing of both bills as Daddy’s getting women into sciences, huzzah! Here’s the thing–he’s signing them because they don’t affect anything he cares about AND while it’s great to shout YAY FEMINISM, there’s no bill out there signed by Trump that forces corporations to hire women or promote educating women in the sciences. The bill exists already: It’s called the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act, to wit this amendment affects and IMHO, not in a good way, because there’s no regulation. 🙁

So, what’s my problem with HR 255?

The amendment allows the National Science Agency greater scope in funding projects in the private sector (where women entrepreneurs live); Representative Etsy and Co. wants to afford greater access to National Science Agency funds for these women, but without regulation, money isn’t going to go where its supposed to. Under this amendment, private-sector companies can now access National Science Agency sponsorship so long as they “initially fund” random “female entrepreneurs”. Or, (this one is worse), they dip into their binders full of women for token placements on existing projects the Agency might consider funding because you know – women in tech! I’m totally for my tax dollars funding women-led science-oriented startups, but without regulation as to who qualifies as a woman-led science-oriented startup, guess where my tax money might go?

Ivanka says both these bills increase opportunities for women, and Trump supporters are quick to rally and shout “He’s not sexist, look at what he’s doing for our girls!” What is he doing? The women that did present said bill and amendment respectively are attempting to help their gender in the sciences, but what Daddy Trump has signed will give private sector corporations unlimited access to the National Science Foundation.

Grab that pussy, Ivanka.

Financial Results for the Nine Months 2017

TITAN Group recorded a small increase in sales and operating profitability in the nine months of 2017, mostly thanks to the growth in the US market. Consolidated turnover reached €1,144.5m, posting a 1.8% increase compared to the same period in 2016. Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) increased by 4.6% to €214.5m. Net profit, after minority interests and the provision for taxes, stood at €33.1m versus €121.9m in the nine months of 2016. Net profit in 2016 had included €89.6m in the form of a deferred tax credit recognition in the US, associated with previously unrecognized carry-forward net operating losses.

Third quarter results in 2017 reflected two exceptional events, the negative impact of hurricane Irma in the US and the implementation of an organizational restructuring program in Egypt. As a result, Q3 turnover declined by 7.4%, reaching €370.7m and EBITDA declined by 15.3% to €72.4m. Net profit, after minority interests and the provision for taxes stood at €19.2m compared to €112.7m in the third quarter of 2016.

In the US, the market continues to grow despite the short-term challenges posed by the effects of hurricane Irma which struck the state of Florida in September 2017. The favorable trend in demand allowed for an improvement in both selling prices and margins. Turnover growth and the improvement in operating performance were boosted by the extensive investment programme undertaken by the Group over the course of the previous three years, allowing for the expansion of activities in ready-mix concrete, aggregates and fly-ash, as well as the reduction of costs. Turnover and EBITDA in the third quarter were flat versus 2016, despite the weather disruptions which, it is estimated, resulted in US$8m reduction at the EBITDA line. In total, Group turnover in the US for the nine months of 2017, increased by 14% and stood at €667.2m while EBITDA increased by 42% and stood at €138.8m.

In Greece, building activity weakened further following the completion of certain major projects in the first half of the year. Export volumes remained high although the strengthening of the Euro against the US-Dollar combined with the considerable increase in fuel prices, affected profitability margins.

Turnover in Group region Greece and Western Europe in the nine months of 2017 declined by 3% and stood at €189.9m. EBITDA declined by 27% to €20.4m.

Overall, demand was above the previous year’s levels in the markets of Southeastern Europe. However, operating margins, were negatively affected by higher fuel costs. Turnover in the nine months of 2017 increased by 10.5% and stood at €173.2m while EBITDA declined by 4% to €44.2m.

In Egypt market conditions remained challenging, following the large devaluation of the Egyptian pound in 2016. Demand for building materials in 2017 is estimated at about 8% below the previous year’s levels. Prices increased in local currency but still recorded a considerable decline in Euro-terms and, at present, cannot compensate for the increase in costs. Furthermore, the implementation of a staff reduction restructuring programme in Q3 adversely impacted EBITDA by €6.3m.

Total turnover in the Eastern Mediterranean region for the nine months of 2017 declined by 39%, reaching €114.3m while EBITDA declined by 66% to €11.1m.

With regard to the Group’s Joint Ventures, demand in Brazil continued to be weak in 2017. However, the decline slowed in the third quarter while prices edged upwards, following the improvement in key economic indicators in the country such as GDP, private consumption, inflation, etc.

In Turkey, demand remained strong. However, the entry into operation of two new plants in the vicinity of Adocim resulted in a decline in sales volume. The devaluation of the Turkish lira, further affected the profitability of the JV.

Capital expenditure in the nine months of 2017 stood at €90m, €6m lower than in the corresponding period in 2016 and, by and large, focused on development activities in the US.

Group net debt as at 30th September, 2017 stood at €758m, €29m lower compared to the closing of the second quarter.

Prospects for the Group in 2017 remain positive, mainly due to the improvement of results in the US.

The recovery of the construction industry in the US is projected to continue in the short and medium term, according to the Portland Cement Association (PCA). Specifically, for the period 2017-21, the PCA forecast demand will grow by an average of 6.3% per year in Florida, and by 4.5% in the states of Virginia, North and South Carolina combined. The growth in demand, in conjunction with the benefits accrued from the extensive capital spending programme in recent years, allow for an optimistic outlook on performance.

In Greece, demand is anticipated to be markedly below that of 2016. Following the completion of the major highway projects, new infrastructure projects are still in the planning phase with no clear start date. Private building activity remains at very low levels, despite certain new projects in the tourism industry. Cement production out of Greece in 2017, will continue to be channeled mostly towards export destinations.

In the countries of Southeastern Europe where the Group is present, the growth in construction activity recorded in the nine months should continue for the remainder of the year, leading to an expectation for market improvement in the immediate future, under the assumption of continued economic growth.

In Egypt, no meaningful improvement is expected in the short-term. The market is still absorbing the impact of the large currency devaluation and the imbalance between the surplus supply and the depressed demand. The already existing imbalance will be further exacerbated by the entry into operation of additional new capacity in the coming months. Having completed the investments for the utilization of solid fuels at its plants and after effecting a significant reduction in headcount, the Group has strengthened its competitive position and ensured fuel sufficiency. In the immediate future, concerted efforts will continue towards attaining a further reduction in costs, increasing alternative fuel usage and increasing prices.

In Turkey, demand should remain at satisfactory levels supported by the continuation of major public works.

In Brazil, the improvement in macroeconomic indicators is encouraging for the development of the construction sector and supports the expectation that the cycle of demand growth will start in the course of next year.

Turnover at Titan Cement S.A. declined by 6.8% in the nine months of 2017, reaching €181m while EBITDA declined by 32.7% and stood at €17.3m, versus €25.7m in the corresponding period of 2016. The net after tax result was an €11m loss, versus a net profit of €16.4m in the nine months of 2016, which however had included €20.6m in the form of dividends from subsidiaries.

CVSC Announces New Executive Director

Posted By SCANPO, Friday, September 9, 2016

We are pleased to share that the Conservation Voters of South Carolina recently announced John Tynan as their new executive director! Ann Timberland, the current director, shared the news in the following letter:

When I took on the task of leading CVSC and “building a bipartisan majority for conservation” in 2003, we had a budget under $60,000 and the challenges ahead of us were great.

Over the last 13 years, I have worked with dedicated board members, exceptional staff, and a community of talented professionals and volunteers. Together, we have grown CVSC to where it is thriving and stronger than ever.

Our annual budget surpassed $600,000 this year – a ten-fold increase. Average scores on our Conservation Scorecards more than doubled from 41% in 2004 to 87% in 2016. CVSC has endorsed Republicans and Democrats in every election since 2003 with a success rate over 70% - including the defeat of three low scoring incumbents in 2016. We have formalized collaboration within the conservation community and raised our collective voices through the South Carolina Conservation Coalition.

Through this work, Conservation Voters has become a force in both the State House and in elections across the state. With these successes in mind, I believe that the time is right for CVSC to grow and expand under new leadership, and I notified the CVSC Board of my resignation earlier this summer.

I am pleased to announce that John Tynan will assume the position of Executive Director in mid-October. John joined our team in February as Political Director and together we launched a sophisticated voter engagement strategy, doubled our expenditures over past cycles and spent more than $145,000 to support conservation minded candidates.

With a background that includes non-profit conservation work, election to local office, and service as a government employee, John has the right set of skills and passion to expand CVSC’s impact. Having hired John and worked alongside him for the last six months as we expanded our political efforts, I can think of no better person to lead this organization into its next phase.

I look forward to working with John and the CVSC team through the end of the year while I consider new career challenges. Post-transition, I will remain a strong supporter of CVSC’s work and encourage you to do the same.

I will be forever grateful for the amazing friendships formed within the conservation community and with elected leaders. Thank you for your encouragement and for your support for Conservation Voters. Together we will continue to protect the South Carolina we love.

Ann Timberlake

Executive Director, CVSC

This is my Brown Friday story. Why is it called Brown Friday? Because it was Black Friday for shopping, but wound up being a Brown Friday for my panties.

I got up at 4 am to hit the mall for shopping on Black Friday like many people. I went with my friend Samantha, who, like me is 30 years old. We are both married, neither with kids, normal, healthy adult women. Women who aren't supposed to poop their pants at age 30!

We spent the day shopping and going from store to store and as the day wore on I knew I needed to poop but just ignored the urge each time it came up. I had to cross my legs and squeeze my butt cheeks together more than a few times while browsing for clothes, but the lines were so long and crowds so big I didn't want to fight the restroom lines or take longer in stores because there were so many places we wanted to get and so little time to do it. I figured I'd just hold it until we stopped for lunch somewhere. By 11 am, however, my body was having other ideas since I had been up for 7 hours already and was quite tired. If I had been thinking more clearly I would have gone sooner. As it was Samantha and I were standing in a never ending line to checkout at Kohls when I got the pre-poop farts again and my colon started pushing, telling me it was time. I crossed my legs and squeezed, thankful I was wearing a long, knee-length coat so nobody could see above my knees. We inched forward slowly in the line, but that poop urge was not going away - it was getting stronger. Much stronger. Sam saw I was distracted and asked if I was ok. I whispered in her ear, "No, I've really got to go to the bathroom." She said, "Go, I'll take your stuff and pay for it and you can pay me back later if you aren't back." I gave her the clothes I was holding, kept my purse, and started walking carefully back towards the far side of the store in the back to the restrooms, trying hard not to look like a lady who was trying desperately not to soil herself. I had to stop more than once to squeeze everything tight and pretend I was looking at some item to keep it inside. I was cutting it close, too close, and I knew it. My butt cheeks felt sweaty and sticky. I could see the restrooms up ahead. I could also see the line. Not good.

I got in the end of the line, which was a dozen ladie's or more long already, and shifted from leg to leg, squeezing my butt cheeks, praying under my breath for mercy and a strong sphincter. The line slowly moved forward every few minutes, but I didn't have a few more minutes. It was taking every muscle in my behind to keep the turd inside me. The clock seemed to stand still. A few more ladies exited and a few more entered and the rest of us moved forward. I was now the 4th woman in line.

I was also out of time. Try as I might, my body gave a push I couldn't stop and I felt my anus forrced open and a firm movement begin to move quickly downward and press against my panties and jeans. The clothes gave it some resistance and for a moment it stopped - like my heart, even though I could hear it pounding in my ears. Then my body gave another push and it resumed its momentum, pushing my panties outward, making room as the turd slowly and steadily forced its way out into a hot, slightly mushy pile under my cheeks and between my legs. I just stood there, legs slightly apart, face burning hot. It probably only lasted less than 30 seconds. The bulge grew, hidden under my long coat - thank God for that! - and then it was over. I had done it. I had completely pooped my panties. A 30 year old grown woman. Impossible! But then I realized I felt something else - a different sensation more towards the front and realized I had begun peeing as well. I was able to quickly cut off the flow of urine, but my crotch felt very warm and so did my upper thighs.

A moment later the doors opened again and three women exited, allowing the three in front of me to go inside, and I waddled forward, praying nobody behind me could smell my accident. I stood there feeling the warmth of the movement against my skin and it honestly wasn't an altogether unpleasant feeling. The door opened again and it was finally my chance to get inside, waddling carefully into a stall. I took off my coat, hung it on the hook, and carefully unbuttoned my pants and lowered them - the wet spot extended down to just above my knees.

I then carefully lowered the panties, feeling the ball of poop free itself and then hang limply in the seat of my pink panties and lowered them down very carefully until I could dump the baseball sized lump into the toilet with a splash. While the movement was solid, it still left a big stain in the seat of my panties - which were also quite wet, of course - so I knew I coulnd't wear them any longer. I wiped my butt clean.

I sat down and finished peeing and then took out my cell phone and hit Samantha's speed dial number. She answered and said she was just about in line. I whispered to her that I needed a big favor. She said ok. I whispered "I didn't make it". She said she couldn't hear me. I whispered again a little louder. Still couldn't hear. One more time, this time almost a full speaking voice, "I didn't make it in time!" I heard the woman at the sink giggle. "You what!?" Sam said. "I need you to bring me some panties and the pair of jeans I was buying." More giggles. "Are you serious?" "Yes, just please hurry!" "You peed your pants?" "I wish that were all..." "Oh my God!" She supressed a laugh. "Are you ok? Are you sick?" "No, I'm not sick, I just couldn't hold it and had an accident - just bring me the clothes please!?" "Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can."

So I sat there on the toilet in the stall, soiled panties and wet jeans around my ankles, and played games on my phone for the next 25 minutes until the door opened and I heard, "Jessica? Where are you?" from Sam. "In here," I called. She handed me a three-pack of Hanes Her Way and my new pair of jeans under the stall door. I slipped off my boots, pulled the jeans and panties off, draped the wet jeans over the top of the stall door, opened the new pack of panties, pulled on the new panties and jeans, slipped on my boots, and then wrapped the soiled panties in a few layers of toilet paper.

I opened the door to see Sam with a huge grin on her face holding an empty bag out to me, "For your jeans." I dropped my soiled panties in the garbage, stuffed the wet jeans into the shopping bag, washed my hands, and we left.

When we got to the car Sam made me recount to her what happened and why, still not believing that I could have had an accident like that at my age. I said that I had seen her pee her pants within the last few years. "Yeah, but at least I didn't poop myself!" she replied. I couldn't argue with that...

today, i did the weirdest thing. i went into a stall, put all my stuff down, sat for two minutes, forgot why i was there, and left. i didn't need to go at all, i don't know why i did that.

once when i was eight i was sick and so i went to throw up and as my muscles spazzed i dropped a huge load in my pants (my sickness had made me constipated) and i couldnt stop for around ten minutes and so when i was finished, my very strong, elastic underwear was around my knees

another time was when i was playing tennis i went to the single mens bathroom and i opened the door and turned on the light and their was this girl sitting there pooping and just as i went in she let out a wave of diarhea so i quickly left and went to stand outside because i really needed a piss and a dump and so ten minutes later (after i had dropped a huge BM in my pants and my crotch was soaked with piss she finaly came out and then moaned and then continued pooping in her pants

One of the worst and most mortifying experiences of my life occurred when I was ten years old. I was at my friend's house during the winter and we were playing in the snow with a few of her other friends. I was the ONLY BOY there. We were running around building snow forts and throwing snowballs. Before I could stop it, I let rip this loud and wet fart and splattered my underpants with diarrhea. The girls all laughed at me until they saw the look of dismay on my face. Although no one said anything, I know they all knew that I had just shit my pants. I said, "I have to go home." I had to walk six blocks through the snow with the seat of my underpants smeared in shit. I don't know that I was ever so embarrassed in my life.

To the person who mentioned using public toilets as a transsexual-

I am a FTM transman, I know you are struggling right now. Trust me it gets easier. Just go in and do your business with your head held high, I promise you know one will pick out anything amiss.

On another note-

I used a bathroom in a popular restaurant yesterday, an upscale place, the mens' room had 4 toilet stalls and 4 urinals. I walked into the empty room only to find that someone shit in the first urinal. Now I ask..WHY!? Not to be funny, but it was one average size firm piece, so it could not have been done in desperation. It wouldn't bother me if it were one of those old-school open grate urinals, but this type could not flush anything solid down, so some poor employee would have to fish this out.

to Just Jerika:
Your concerns are not uncommon for someone your age. I'm in my mid-30s and still remember when I was your age and how insensitive both the boys and girls can be to those who are most sensitive. I've written before about my live-in boyfriend John who by-the-way was harassed (I believe the more precise word being used in schools today is 'bullied')at age 4 and 5 because when he had to crap at school in those god-awful doorless stalls, he stood out because he would sit over the side of the seat and hold onto the toilet paper roll holder with his hands because he hadn't outgrown that fear he had when he was younger that he might slip backwards and fall into the toilet. His dad had tried to break him of this habit and fear, but when John was alone at places such as school, he fell back to the side-sitting routine. Also, once or twice he squirted some pee into his underwear because when he didn't remember to tuck his penis into the bowl, it was hanging over the side of the seat. After first grade in public school, his parents switched him to a parish school which was smaller and he gained a lot more confidence. I too, Jerika, gained more confidence in my body and regularly going to the crowded bathrooms when I went to high school. But that wasn't before some experiences in junior high that were outright mean-spirited. My best friend Barb--a few inches taller than you--was way overweight and frequently called "Barge" both to her face and behind her back. It didn't help that the desks would creak when she sat in the seat or one morning during our 10 a.m. break, she nearly fell into the bowl when a loosely sitting seat finally broke off when she sat on it. It didn't help Barb's confidence when her mom called the principal's office and was told that it was probably Barb's fault that the plumber needed to be called to repair the seat. For weeks afterwood, classmates would whisper about a big splash coming when Barb would walk down the hall with her wooden bathroom pass. In my case, Jerika, I gained more confidence in myself by getting involved in school activities and hanging out with those who were both sensitive toward others and confident in themselves. This is a big word but there's a "synergy" that's created by hanging with positive rather than troubled students, the latter of whom try to bring others down to their level of low self-esteem.

im 16 and i live with my boyfriend who is 18. we have only been goin out a couple months but he is really nice and cute. it was a awkward situation how we live together but we make it work. before i would try going somewhere else to poop but now that we live together it is impossible to hide some things. when we first moved in together he used to always try to disapeer when he had to poop. but sometimes unavoidable things happen. Before he came home from work one day i was taking a bath. he burst in the door all paniced and distraught. he is so shy when he has to poop. he tried saying he had to use the bathroom but didnt say he had to shit. i said go ahead. i could tell he was nervous and shy. then he pulled down his pants and just exploded on the toilet. he didnt even say anything he was just ashamed. everytime i heard him poop it turned me on for some reason and it was something i would never think would. a month later i wanted him too see me pooping. one day i just went into the bathroom with a magazine and sat on the toilet with the door open so he would see me. when he walked by it was the first time he ever seen me on the toilet. he never even seen me pee. when he looked up he had that same nervous look like he wasnt supposed to see that.

Blue Circle
To Erik: Mistakes happen. It seems imbarrassing now, but it will blow over. Look at it this way, at least they weren't totally disgusted by seeing you shit. They were laughing, so obviously they were pretty relaxed about it. Go ahead and show your face,. Once you get over the enissial embarrasment you will be able to laugh with them about it.
To Mathias: That sounds like an awesome way to meet a girlfriend. I look forward to your other stories and I hope you two are doing well.
As for me, I don't really have anything interesting to report at the moment. Hopefully I will have something to share soon. One thing I will say though, is that I go to college and live in an apartment with two other guys, but I rarely ever poop there because 98 percent of the time I clog the toilet. I usually walk to campus late at night, find a quiet bathroom and unload there. When school starts again I'll be sure to post about my experiences.
Hope everyone is well.

so i am at school for longer than normal today, and at one point i had to crap. so even though i hate public toilets, and i hate people knowing that i'm doing #2, i went into the second stall (There were only 2, a guy was in the first one already, i could see his legs which meant he could see mine, too), pulled down my pants to my knees, and started going. it required a lot of effort, but it was out in less than 3 minutes, and i flushed, and left the stall. when i was washing my hands, he came out, too, and we made eye contact, and i got out of there quickly. i felt embarassed. i don't know why though.

Sarah - liked your post about you peeing your pants in the theater while watching Titanic. The best part was no one ever finding out you peed your pants.

Hey everybody. Been so busy lately havent had time to post. Ive got a story from a night my gf Alyssa stayed at my house. About 3 in the morning I heard her get up but I pretended to stay asleep. I opened my eyes slightly while she left the door open. She walked into the bathroom and put the toilet seat down. She then raised her robe and lowered her pink cheeky panties to her ankles and sat down. She opened her legs wide and started peeing a real gusher that lasted 3 minutes. It splashed loudly against the water. She paused and let out a long wet fart and dripped more pee for another minute. Then she let out a long that went FLOOMP in the toilet. Then she let out 3 more turds that went plop plop plop. She farted again and let out a massive watery wave of diarrhea and moaned. Then she peed for another minute. Then I saw her unroll the Charman as she wiped her butt 4 times and her pussy twice. She then stood up pulled her panties back up and flushed the toilet. Hope y'all liked my story. See ya.

Pee Brain
Last Tuesday, my alarm clock didn't go off and I didn't wake up on time for school, so my mom had to drive me to school instead of me taking the bus.

And she was in such a rush, that I didn't even have time to pee before we left!

By the time we got halfway to school, I had to go sooooo bad that I told my mom that I was gonna pee all over my seat if she didn't pull over and let me go!

Well, that got her attention. Finally, she pulled over at the side of the road near some woods to let me go.

I walked a little into the woods and found a good spot to do my business. That's when I heard a big vehicle coming.

I turned around, and saw my school bus drive by, with everyone staring out the window and laughing at me!

When I got to school, everyone who saw me started cracking up.

Now my nickname is "Pee Brain!" Ugh. So much for the Great Outdoors.

Had a really satisfying dump the day after thanksgiving. My girl went shopping leaving the house to myself. Our toilet is off the living room and the walls are paper thin so anything that is doen in the bathroom can be heard through the entire house. If given the opportunity I can spend all morning on the toilet and thats exactly what I did. I brewed some coffee and brought some car magazines in with me. It was one of those dumps where you sit and go and think your done. But after continuing to sit there is more to push out and then even more. Thats the great thing about having the house to oneself, you can spend as much time as you want. It really felt good to spend enough time to truly feel empty while sitting there on the toilet. When I finally got done the bowl was really full of yellow snakes, so much so that they were above the water line. I could acually see how my product conformed to my intestines by the twising back and forth nature of the turds. Just in case I flushed and then wiped and flushed again to make sure the toilet wouldn't be clogged. Anyway its not that I am a shy pooper, but I can really relax when no one else is around.

Erik, that sucks but think how hot that must have been for your girlfriend. tell her how you feel and see if she will go in front of you?

Hey everyone I had an interesting time at the gym today that I thought you all might like to hear about. I was there at about eight forty five am and was in the locker room changing into my workout attire. A lady who looked perhaps five or seven years older than me, in her mid thirties, walked in and put her coat in a locker (she was already wearing her attire and did not need to change) then went straight in to the toilet stall not five feet from where I was sitting on the locker room bench. It was quiet in there we were the only two people in the locker room at the time. I heard her lower her sweat pants and the squish of her bum as she took a seat. Then I heard her grunt and heard a hissss as she shot out a stream of pee that lasted mabye three seconds. Immediately after that I heard an audible plop and heard her sigh. Then her pee stream started up proper and lasted for about a minute or so. It was intermittently forceful and trickly as I believe it was influnced by the pushing out of a log as I heard crackles as well. After the pee was over I heard her grunt again and I heard the familiar swish-thunk sound of the end of a serious bowel movement slipping into the water. She then stood up (I could see most of her legs thanks to the high floor clearance partition of the single stall toilet) and tore off a length of toilet paper and crumpled it up I assume from the sounds. I heard a rubbing noise and I looked through the wide crack in the door (it's a very non private stall to discourage bad behaviour in it) and saw her standing up with her pants at her bent knees with her butt stuck out. She was wiping up and down the length of her crack repeatedly, stopping several times to squish the paper into her anus I assume from what little I could see through the crack. She then took the paper after about thirty seconds of this and tossed it in the toilet. I heard the toilet flush and strain and heard her swear to herself as it wasn't going down. She left the stall and ran out into the workout area not regarding my presence at all. Being the curious seeker that I am I could not refuse to inspect the stall. The second she was out the door I went into the stall and sniffed at her poop aroma. Very strong, meaty I think and very pungent. I then looked into the toilet and saw a massive log dark brown to almost black lodged against the sewer hole, perhaps nine by three inches. Wow, I said to myself, that is one serious poop! The toilet paper was lying in wad form next to it on the left and had a noticeable poop presence on the center axis of it. I felt lucky to be able to have this experience. It's rare to be able to examine somone's poo in direct conjunction with having heard the performance and seen a tiny bit of it. I felt like I could be friends with this woman, her pooping was so similar to my own. Except that when wiping she rubbed repeatedly where I favor a single swipe to the top and done, concerning the use of only one wad of tp we are alike as well as the standing posture that we had nearly identical in form from what I could ascertain. Being in the stall inhaling the strong odor I felt I just had to sit on the toilet with that huge poop in it so I lowered my shorts and bikini white panties and sat on the still warm seat. I thought about how I too leave bowel movement offerings the same as the one I was sitting above. I relaxed and peed a little bit then pushed. It had been three days since my last poop and I knew with a little effort I could push it out. After a minute or so nghh grunting I felt a poo emerge, then crackle out for a few minutes with an average feeling stretching sensation. After three or so minutes it was done and I stood up and looked at it. It had landed nearly directly ontop of hers and was slightly longer and thinner. I had my workout gloves on and didn't want to get them dirty so I just pulled up my shorts and panties without bothering to wipe. I would be changing my panties after my post workout shower and could allow my butt to simply wipe itself on them as I worked out. I'm totally fine with this as I'm something of an eco friendly person and do everything I can to help the environment. I view toilet paper as very ecologically wasteful and do my part to severely limit the amount I use. So when I feel right about it I go without wiping, I figured whatever I was changing my undies after showering anyway. I left the stall with the toilet with the two poops in it, and went and worked out as I always would. I took an elliptical machine right next to the woman whose poop I witnessed and we struck up a conversation which of course had nothing to do with that. We're now friends and agreed to have coffee and mabye hang out or something. She of course has no idea about any of this and seems to be a genuinely great person. I'll let you all know if I witness anything else regarding this in the future!

P.S. Jackie, I appreciate your intrest in wiping as I'm totally fascinated by it as well. I think it's cool that you like to be totally clean, I just prefer to be a bit more natural but respect and love you all the same. As far as your question goes, after pooping before a shower if I randomly wipe it will definitely come out brown at the top of my crack. How much is dependent wether I wiped once or not at all:-) All my love to you Jackie your friend Delilah!

so i am at school for longer than normal today, and at one point i had to crap. so even though i hate public toilets, and i hate people knowing that i'm doing #2, i went into the second stall (There were only 2, a guy was in the first one already, i could see his legs which meant he could see mine, too), pulled down my pants to my knees, and started going. it required a lot of effort, but it was out in less than 3 minutes, and i flushed, and left the stall. when i was washing my hands, he came out, too, and we made eye contact, and i got out of there quickly. i felt embarassed. i don't know why though.

Turd Lover
Had a great poop episode this morning. A series of about 20 or 30 little "turdballs" came bursting out of my rectum like automatic rifle fire -- followed by a very nice well-hung log which landed with a big splash that soaked ny arse. A quick wipe of the bum and I was ready to face the day with pride.

Hints from Heloise (not)
Here are two great suggestions I guarantee you won't find in Heloise Hints for dealing with problems everyone here faces from time to time...

First...How do you get rid of poop smells in the bathroom? What a lot of people do is poop, and then they spray air freshener in the air, which really just mixes in with the poop smell to give a new smell which is just as bad as the poop smell. What I do is this. You sit down on the toilet and have the air freshener handy. Then right before you are ready to poop, lift up your butt and spray the air freshener directly into the bowl. Spray a lot of it. Then you immediately plop your butt back down and poop. As soon as all the poop is done, flush it down before you lift up your butt to wipe. If you want, you can spray some more spray into the bowl before you wipe, but it's usually not needed.

Second, how do you get rid of that nagging poop smell on your fingers when you acidentally get poop on your fingers while wiping? Seems like all the soap in the world won't get rid of that lingering trace of poop smell. My solution? Two words. Tooth paste. After you wash your hands as thoroughly as you can, squirt some tooth paste on your fingers and rub it in real good, then wash again. The poop smell will go away from your fingers...

Comments? Do I have a career ahead of me as an advice columnist?

Another story from my early teens. We were on a two family holiday in Cornwall and Michael and I spent loads of time in the surf. We would go down to the beach after breakfast and spend most of the day there, meeting up with a couple of other holiday makers about our age. We would change amonst the dunes and have a game of football or cricket. Usually when someone needed the loo they would go into the dunes for a minute and then dome back.

Anyway Michael being himself, one day when he was batting at cricket, waited until the lad bowling was running in and said dramatically WAIT! he then pulled his trunks to one side and began to pee right there in the open on the beach. I could see that he was quite excited, but he managed to do a longish pee weaving from side to side. The other lads were a bit surprised at first but eventually just laughed and watched, then we carried on the game. A little while later one of the other lads said he was going up in the dunes, but Michael badgered him to do it here like he had. He didn't take much persuading and was soon spraying a jet from side to side whilst walking up the 'pitch'.It was clearly showing off time.

I was ready too and wanted to do sonething different. So i said yes i have to go too and when they all turned to see i stood with my legs apart and wee'd through my trunks, which were pushed out at the front. This got a ripple of applause hehe. This became the preferred style for the day we drank loads of pop and eadh time anyone needed to wee we would stand and do it in our trunks, Michael even managed to do a little when he was wrestling with one of the other guys and was sat across his belly.

Most of you probably know from my previous postings that I'm 26, work for a large company downtown and take college classes at night. Because I'm away from home a lot, I'm relying on public bathrooms almost all the time.

First, the splashback that Vincene had while she was crapping at school, has always been a concern to me, too. Back when I was her age, I didn't always flush the unflushed toilet before using it. Sometimes I was lazy, sometimes I there was pee and several persons' pee and I didn't want to have the stool run over. But then one day in Everyday Living (sex ed) class, I got to thinking about that filthy pee from someone else on my vagina and from that day on I always will flush first or, and this is something my grandmother taught me, lay strips of toilet paper across the top of the water, before I crap. You pretty much need to lift the seat first if you're going to do a good job with it. Second, I agree with Vincene that's it's nice to have the skirt on when you have to use an open stall at a place like a bus terminal. That 9 or 10 year old girl just sitting there with her jeans and panties all the way down to the floor. If her mother were to have walked in while she was on the stool, I wonder what "advice" she would have received. It just seems like our worst craps are always the messiest to clean ourselves up from and that they happen in the worst public places.

I also wanted to comment on Just Jerika's post. She brings up a great point about how older-style toilets and the pear-shaped seats (yes, I've had to use those too)can be really intimidating to a person her age. Smaller people are going to feel even more intimidated and self-conscious having to get up on and confortably (well maybe that's too much to ask for!)sit. Regarding seat color, come to think of it, I'm seeing less of the black seats today in public places. In stores and offices they are almost always white. When I was Jerika's age and others were waiting for a toilet I was using and I got frustrated and couldn't produce, I would still flush. I know it's not totally honest but you have to look out for yourself and why subject yourself to ridicule and perhaps bullying? Back when I was in school and even now I have friends who will risk being late in the morning so that they can crap at home. As you will find in my previous postings, I may have a higher confidence level about using public restrooms but there are times when I would have benefited by by getting up earlier so I could go at home.

Upstate Dave
First I have a question to ask. Have you ever been to a public event or place of any kind where there were no bathrooms or the there was but closed, out of order, or locked up for another reason? If you had what did you do to take care of needing to go? I have ran into this at many times over my life time. Many more times when younger but some even more recently. This is what my post is about.

This post deals with two male friends and thier sistor. Now the two male friends Charlei and his brother Rick played little league. Charkei pitched while Rick was the catcher. Both of them were asian in appearence for thier moms first marrage was to a asian male. Thier mom divorced him and married again having Patty. Now Patty was blue eyed, blonde and cute as a pin.

Now thier mom also had divorced after Patty was born so she was currently single again. Kind of ahead of the time for this was in the late mid 1960s. Well we all went to one of Charlies and Ricks little leauge baseball games on a Saturday. Charle and Rick practiced before the game and thier mom,Patty, and I were in the bleachers watching them practice and warm up when the ganme started.

Three innings were played with niether side scoring. Patty now asked her mom could she get something to eat from the snackbar. He mother told her it was ok. I offered to pay which her mom told me ok on that. So Patty and I left the bleachers. Once down off of them I offered Patty to ride on my shoulders. She told me yes. I squted down and she got right up on my shoulders sitting n them and I stood up and we headed to the snackbar.

n the walk over to the snackbar Patty told me she had to pee. I told her ok you can do that while I order your hotdog ok? Patty told me yes. In a couple of minutes we were ther in line at the snackbar. I let Patty down off my shoulders and she went looking for the bathrooms there at the snackbar.

A moment later she was back. She told me she saw no bathrooms here. I told to her hang on. I was next to be waited on. I told Patty I'll ask where the bathrooms are. Patty said ok but hurry I have to go! A moment later the person that was in front of me got there order and I was next. I asked for two hotdogs and where was the bathroom. The girl that was there told me there wasn't one!

I told her that the girl with me had to go. She told me take her around the ball field and go behind somewhere along the fence. That is where everyone does go. I glanced over at the fence that ran along the outfields of the ball field. That was sure far away.My order was done so I hurridly paid for it and grabbed some napkins and Patty and I walked away.

I told Patty there were no bathrooms here at all. I told her that the girl told me everyone goes behind the outfield fence and goes there. Patty looked and she said what I had thought about at the snackbar. Dve that's to far! I also now have to poop too! Patty added saying to me. Now I thought to myself; We are in real trouble now!

We were only halfway back to the bleachers at this point. I started looking around for another closer spot where Patty could go. Now all the cars were parked in a very long single row along the entrance road. There was a high thick hedge that ran along the front of the parked cars. The ends of the rows were open. So any one could see up the entire row of cars from either end of the row of them. Not the best spot I thought to myself but it was closer then trying to go out around the ball field.

So I told Patty we would go over by her moms car. You can go there. Patty told me she would do that. So I grabbed her hand ducked between the two cars next to us and went to the front of the two cars and walked quickly to her mothers car where it was parked. When we got there Paty walked over inbeween her mothers car and the car next to it.

I quickly said to her don't go there Patty! I told her that her mom, Charlie and Ricky would see her poop there. I told her cme around to the front of the car and go. At least you can sit on the bumper and pee and poop. Patty seemed to like that for she smiled a little but hurridlycame around to the front of the car already had her red pants partway down!

As soo as she was standng in front of the bumper she yanked both her red pants and white panties down past her knees and plopped down on the bumper. Good thing too for as soon as she was sitting on the bumpershe started to pee very hard. She would have never made the long walk around the ball field to pee. Patty had a the look of great relief come across her face now as she peed.

Then after about tenseconds her pee stream slowed but didn't stop. I saw a big fat tan nub of a poop start comming out from under her. It softly crackled as it came out. Patty was now pooping also! It was one of those smooth firm soft type poops. It moved quickly and soon it was long enough so that its weight was stretching it for it began to crack and the crack widened.

The crack widened more as Patty's poop got longer. Then where the crack had formed it broke with a good six seven inch pice dropped to the ground with a soft thump. In slow motion her poop tipped over and fell forward. and laid out on the ground. Now her pee hit this piece of poop and splashed all over it and the ground.

The remaining piece still was comming out and had picked up more speed. It reached a longer length then the first one nad it broke away falling to the ground with a thump. More poop kept on comming out. This one turned out being longer as the other two. It stayed fat right to the end of it. It dropped to the ground and the threepieces layed there side by side. Patty stopped peeing right after the last poop had hit the ground.

Patty stood up and took a step forward. Then she turned around and looked at her own poop there on the ground. I pooped a lot! she said to me. I told her she sure had! Then she knew I had napkins and asked me for one of them. I handed it to her. She did a standing wipe and after doing this she took the napkin and covered her poop over with it but there was just to much there to cover it all. Pattypulled up her panties and red pants and we then left and went to the bleachers to sit with her mom,eat our hotdogs and watch her brothers play the game. Up state Dave

Traffic Jam
My mother died of cancer when I was about eight. When I was twelve my father remarried, to a woman whose husband had died in a traffic accident. This woman had one child, a son, who is just about my own age. We all really hit it off very well and I called him my 'brother' Jack and he referred to me as his 'sister' Miriam, although we are not related by blood at all.

Two years later Jack and I were riding in the back seat of our car with my father driving. We got into the Holland Tunnel going back to Brooklyn from Patterson and suddenly all the traffic came to a halt. We never found out what had happened but whatever it was, we were left sitting there for nearly an hour. About half an hour into this I was really needing to pee. Normally we would have been home already. I whispered my problem to my father and suggested that I open the door on the passenger side, crouch down, and do what I had to do.

"No way! The tunnel is monitored on video and if they see you I'll be in for one hell of a ticket," he whispered back to me. To emphasize the point, he locked the doors so I couldn't open one if I wanted to. Every minute seemed like ten and I was really squirming. I again leaned forward and whispered my now more urgent problem to my father.

"You not sticking your butt out of the car to pee in on camera and in public!" he alomst shouted back.

I turned red as a beet.

"Dad! Now Jack knows!"

"Listen, sweetheart. There's an adult diaper I keep under the front passenger seat as a spare for grandma. Take it and use it if you have to."

"Dad! With Jack right here next to me?"

"Better he should see your butt than to have you displayed and maybe recorded on the surveilance cameras. Jack will keep his mouth shut, won't you Jack?"

Jack said nothing, and I could see a surpressed smirk on his face.

"I'll guarantee that he'll keep it a secret if he knows what's good for him."

As the urgency grew I really had no choice. I fished the diaper out from under the seat.

"Could you pleeese turn the other way, Jack," I whispered.

He did, much to my relief. I pulled down my panties and tried to position the diaper on me but I soon found that I was getting it all bunched up and I was afraid I would leak pee all over the back seat. I screwed up my courage to ask Jack for some help but before I said a word Jack sensed my problem.
"Need some help, sister? .
I really didn't have much choice.
I nodded my assent and just lay back, covering my face with my skirt, as Jack slipped the diaper into position under my naked butt with my private on full display, fastened the straps tightly on me, and then slipped my panties up over the diaper.

"Okay sis. You're ready to go. Let's feel Miriam's well like the Israelites had in the desert." he whispered. I sat up. His hand was still on my crotch. I relaxed and finally let go as he felt my warmth through the diaper. I felt a fart coming on and as I relaxed to let the gas out I got a surprise.
"OH! NO!" I felt a turd explode out of my butt into my diaper. So there I was, next to my brother with his hand still on my peed and pooped diaper. I began to cry!
Jack wiped away and kissed away my tears.

"It's our secret, Miriam. Even dad won't know what just happened."
To this day he never told anybody about me pooping myself. Its our little secret!

Turd Lover
Aaron -- I've had similar experiences. All those cars were probably honking because they were jealous of your awesome brown pile. There's nothing to be ashamed of here, taking a good shit is something to be relished and treasured by everyone.

My morning dump was unique -- the long log was actually touching the water while the tapered end was still departing my anus. It was like a connecting rod of brown glory. Finally it broke loose and landed in the bottom of the bowl, and was flushed away with pride.

I first became really fascinated by toilet stuff at about 13/14 yrs old. At that time my family lived near an old fashioned seaside town, my parents were friendly with another family who had 2 sons - the younger was the same age as I.

Michael and I used to go to the beach once or twice a week during good weather. One day we arrived about 9.30 to find a fairly quiet beach. We found a spot on the gently sloping concrete slope at the back of the beach proper and began to get changed. We were both sat down with our towels over our laps to take our trousers and pants off. When Michael was undressed he reaches over to his sports bag to get his trunks and told me that he really needed to pee. Within a couple of seconds I could see a stream of pee running down the slope from under his towel (he must have been starting already when he told me his need).

I watched fascinated until he had finished, when he quickly pulled on his trunks and stood up. Though i didn't really have to, I told him to hang on as i needed to go too. He waited in front of me as I raised my knees a bit to keep my towel away, pulled back my foreskin and directed a jet out from under my towel. Sharing this was so exciting and easier as i didn't (at that time) even know Michael very well.

All a long time ago, I'll write up a few more experiences soon.

It's been a while since I have posted here (1106, 1108 & 1404)

On the subject of How Long Does It Take to take a dump....

For me, as I have gotten older (now 61), a really satisfying dump takes around 10-15 minutes. When I feel the pressure building, I like to settle down on my favorite toilet seat and "just let it happen". I think the style of toilet seat you use is very important for a satisfying movement. I am 6 feet tall and like the elongated, open front, contoured seats where my butt gets nicely swallowed into the opening. This style seems to feel the most comfortable for me, anyway. I usually take a magazine or newspaper with me to pass the time as I am usually not in a hurry. Years ago, I was always in a hurry to finish often straining and forcing the movement. That caused hemmorrhoids, fissures and other problems for me, so now I just RELAX.

A "typical" BM for me usually starts with a few seconds hissing farts, which relieves the pressure, but it may take a few minutes before the first turd begins its slow exit. It often pokes out streching my ring as it thickens in diameter. Sometimes, it will just stop for a minute or two, giving a very satisfying feeling while it just hangs there out of my butt. I have noticed that when I don't force it out, it might as long as four or five minutes for a turd to finally exit. A minute or so later, another turd will usually start to emerge, again slowly working its way out. I usually ease out three (sometimes four) nice sized turds (about 10-12 inches each) without forcing or straining in 15 minutes. For some reason, the last turd usually hangs for a longer period before dropping, probably because it is usually smaller and lighter size and gravity takes longer to drop it out.

One Negative of taking a leisurly dump is: It can get very stinky in the bathroom with those "hanging turds" emitting their odors for several minutes before they completely drop into the wather. I usually keep the window open!

A Positive thing: My bathroom time gives me time to relax and recharge. Having a slow, unforced movement is very satisfying for me and I feel GREAT afterwards. I have also discovered that wiping is much less messy for me when I just "let it happen" without straining.

I hope this answers those who have asked why it takes some of us longer to do "the deed" than others. It is an interesting subject and probably not discussed anywhere but in this forum.
