Ex invited us out for a meal - feel awful now(66 Posts)
I recently separated from my partner of 3 years because he was a massive twat.
I have dd1 from a previous relationship and we habe dd2 together.
we have been civil towards each other and he has been visiting the kids a couple of times a week.
I called him earlier today to ask if he would mind giving me and dcs a lift to the supermarket. dd2 has been in and out of hospital the past week with bronchiolitis (sp?) so I havent had a chance to get to the shops. He took the car when we split up so I rely on public transport now.
he said that he could take me tomorrow because he would like to take me and the dcs out for a meal tonight.
I said that would be great and he would pick us up at 6.
I have had several texts over the past half hour saying that he has called the all you can eat buffet in advance to warn them I was coming so they could put more food out, that I should go and buy some bigger clothes because I always look ridiculous and embarrass him, that I need to give him some petrol money because the heavier the car is, the more fuel it uses.
I feel so and now
ive lost a stone the past 2 weeks and start the Cambridge plan again on tuesday so the weight is coming off but I just feel awful now. im currently 5'8 and a size 20
I told him to fuck the fuck off so now ill have to go to the supermarket in the pouring rain on the bus to get stuff for tea.
I hate how even after we have split he can still make me feel so low and worthless
I thought I was doing well, obviously not.
any advice about future contact?
What a total prick your ex is. Just proves you are better off without him. I second the above comments about making sure that he doesn't have access to the account. Change any passwords for online or telephone banking and if it is a joint account, then open a new one and transfer everything over. You can only get him off a joint account if he signs to say so afaik.
Also, the Asda tip is a good idea, I have just done it. I think it's on until 31 Oct. £15 for 3 months worth of deliveries and that includes Asda Direct and George as well, so ideal for buying Christmas presents too with no delivery charges.
Regarding the weight, fuck him. I am bigger than a size 20 and I always get compliments on how I look. I keep my hair and my nails nice and dress to flatter my figure. If you want to lose the weight then well done, but do it for yourself, not to spite him.
He is an immature wanker
Tell that fucker while you can always lose weight and improve your appearance and look great, he will always be a prick...Did u manage to feed DD, wish I was near you, could have helped you out with food at least
FWIW . I've always been a 10/12 since having dcs and hes now in huge/ Xlarge and one day I'd had a huge meal and when I was getting ready for bed stuck my belly out and said oh yuk and he was sitting on the bed and said' yes you've really let yourself go'!! insults are insults whether they are true or not!!! Don't listen to himx
God, what a twat! No wonder he's an ex
Good to hear things are getting sorted. Change the PIN and password to your bank account, have the cheque book invalidated. Ensure the bank knows you are the SOLE account holder. If they play up, change banks.
Seriously, his opinion has NOTHING to do with your reality. He gets a kick out of messing with your head, so cease all contact with him. Do the kids' visit at a cafe or a friend's house. Get someone else to do the handovers.
You're much better off with a few stone extra than a twunt like him in your life. (On that subject, have you tried buying some nice clothes that fit you, instead of wishing yourself a different size? Always works for me!)
Hi thanks again for all your messages.
The money has been returned to my bank account and the bank have no idea why it disappeared last night. It looks like it was being held for some reason but they don't know who it was or why so they are going to investigate. I've withdrawn it now so at least I've got it.
I always buy clothes to fit me, the issue he had was I was wearing a pair of pre-dd2 jeans and they were very tight. I didn't have any other ones to wear because my dryer broke and everything was still wet. I struggled to keep up with the washing last week when dd2 was in hospital.
I'm a bit calmer this morning and I'll give his mum a call in a bit and see if she will do access visits for the time being so I don't need to see him. She knows what a massive tit he is and doesn't defend his actions so at least I've got his family for help if I need them too.
I'm going to buy myself some clothes on Wednesday and get myself sorted out a bit.
Thanks again for all the advice
You feel and ??
You should be feeling bloody
You are right, he is a massive twat. I suggest you never ask him for anything again.
Do not do anything for him. Stop caring what he thinks. He is nothing to you now.
LOVE your update, awake!
Got your money back, MIL going to buffer her twat of a son for you, new clothes in the offing ... It's looking like a good week! Well done.
I'd have gone for dinner and covered his meal with laxatives when he wasn't looking. Prick!
So glad you are no longer with this man OP. Your life can only get better
babe, he has comfirmed what COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING CUNT he is
so know you know, and he wont even help when his DD is sick
PRAISE BE YOU HAVE FINISHED, seriously his shitty behaviour is a gift saying "awakemysoull, you did right to dump me", no regretful twinges for you
Imagine, had he been all nice and caring youd only wonder if you had done the right thing
internet shopping, hope your DD recovers and basic communications only
Good woman.
Sounds a sensible plan and thank goodness you have money.
I wouldn't even communicate with him. Ever. Brief emails re: the children if at all necessary and that's it!
Shop online. Independence. Choose Delivery slots that are cheapest. Accept it's alright to give the kids beans in toast once in a while. Also added bonus is you can plan heathy meals without the smell of the bakery wafting past you. His reaction should affirm you made the right decision. Good luck with your new life.
You don't need to feel angry or sad. You're completely vindicated in ending this relationship. You should feel relieved.
Wow. What a massive twunt. Sounds to me like he's not so happy with you being successful in trying to lose weight and may be trying to jeopardise things.
Now he's made it clear what a knob he is, you can stop wasting time or effort on trying to keep your relationship with him 'amiable'. Get legal advice, confine all contact with him to email and inform him that anything other than details about him seeing DC and/or sorting finances will be ignored. Just treat him with calm, slightly contemptuous politeness, as though he's irrelevant, which he is. Best of luck.
Brilliant you have his mum as a resource - I agree, after the latest display of emotional abuse (and I've read your posts just now and WELL DONE on getting shot and moving on - I think you are a bloody great heroine with all you have coped with and handled while parenting two babies and working, too!) just insist all contact is done formally, or via a third party like his mum. Ignore texts he sends and if need be you can report him for harassment for more like the latest batch. He's a nasty, inadequate little bully and would find anything at all to belittle you over. Please don't allow him the headspace. SGB speaks sense.
Hopefully the bank thing is their error and they give you £20 or so in apology for the stress they caused. Not many things worse than being unable to feed your own child.

your call center overseas might be the right answer — but think
before you act
The labor pool in India is a call center outsourcer's
dream: college graduates are willing and eager to work for just
$3,000 to $6,000 a year&151;the equivalent of an $80,000 annual
paycheck in America. But Art Flew, president of U.S.-based MphasiS
BPO, insists that quality was his motivation for building call centers
in India. "It was the only place we could find university-level
people with good command of the English language and where [handling
calls] was seen as a profession or a career. We can get the right
attitude," he says. "First we attack the quality problem, then deliver
cost savings." But the savings can be significant. Despite greater
telecom expenses to route calls to India, has redundant networks
and two undersea cables), the favorable labor costs mean that the
company's clients achieve savings of at least 30 percent and sometimes
much more, according to Flew. The time zone differential also lets
companies hand off support to India after 5 p.m. for round-the-clock
With so many U.S. call centers located in America's
accent-neutral heartland, won't customers notice a difference when
talking to an agent overseas? In fact, customers tend not to notice
accents as long as their questions are answered, according to Venkat
Tadanki, vice president of sales and marketing for Daksh eServices,
which operates contact centers in India. If the agent fumbles the
answer, then the caller is more likely to notice an accent. MphasiS
BPO's Flew says that the bigger issue is helping Indians understand
American accents. Nonetheless, every MphasiS BPO agent goes through
a six-week training program that covers voice modulation (Indians
tend to talk fast) and accent neutralization. Agents also learn
that Americans act very familiar with strangers and generally aren't
expressing fondness or making comparisons when they pepper their
speech with the word like. By clueing agents into some of the basics
of American culture (holidays, baseball, football, major department
stores, the fact that the Cleveland Indians are a baseball team)
the training helps agents handle questions without appearing totally
But offshore
outsourcing does bring some extra risks, says Colleen Amuso, a research
director with Gartner. Infrastructure reliability and availability
are not necessarily the same in India, the Caribbean or Singapore
as they are in the states. And companies thinking of outsourcing
need to be aware of labor conditions and hiring and training practices,
which are much harder to monitor from half a world away, says Amuso.
Managing training from afar can also be a challenge; for that reason,
if product support information tends to change every month, outsourcing
overseas could be problematic. "The more you can script, the easier
it is," says Flew.
the potential cost benefits, offshore call center outsourcing hasn't
caught on as fast as many thought it would, says Incoming Calls
Management Institute President Brad Cleveland. "You often hear the
analogy to manufacturing 20 or 30 years ago," he says. "But this
isn't creating shoes." Cleveland thinks call center operations are
too close to the customer&151;and information associated with call
centers changes too often&151;for some companies to feel comfortable
sending their customers' calls overseas.

Bangalore, Jan 9: Pacemen put Karnataka in command against Uttar Pradesh on the second day of the five-day Ranji Trophy quarter-final here Thursday.
At stumps, Uttar Pradesh were 221/9, still 128 runs behind Karnataka's first innings score of 349. All nine wickets were taken by the fast bowlers. In today's play 14 wickets fell and all to pace.
It was domination of fast men at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Abhimanyu Mithun (4/70) and captain R Vinay Kumar (3/49) did the most of the damage while HS Sharath (1/20) and Robin Uthappa (1/0) added one scalp each.
In the final session, Sharath had to leave the field after injuring his right shoulder while fielding. Mithun too was off the field briefly with cramps but returned.
Things could have been even worse for the visitors if not for the lower order bailing them out with Piyush Chawla and Parvinder Singh's half centuries.
Parvinder was in sight of a century but fell to the part-time medium pace of Uthappa on the last ball of the day. Parvinder was caught by wicketkeeper CM Gautam for 92 (181 balls, 13x4).
Chawla hit 56 (99 balls, 5x4). The left and right combination of Chawla and Parvinder pulled UP out of deep trouble with a 110-run partnership for the sixth wicket.
UP were reeling at 65/5 but Chawla and Parvinder, enjoying a couple of chances, had a century association. Former India batsman Mohammed Kaif was out for a duck, bowled by Mithun.
Parvinder, in the company of Ankit Rajpoot (1 not out, 25 balls), added 40 runs for the ninth wicket before hosts' captain Vinay handed the ball to Uthappa to break the partnership. Uthappa struck with his third ball.
Earlier, Gautam completed his hundred as Karnataka were bowled out for 349 in 100.5 overs. Gautam was the third centurion for the hosts after Uthappa and Karun Nair on the first day.
This was wicketkeeper-batsman Gautam's 9th first-class hundred and first of this season. The right-hander's 100 came off 118 balls with 16 boundaries.
All three batsmen made identical scores of 100 each. Karnataka's innings had five ducks and three hundreds.
The top-five batsmen of Karnataka's scorecard read - 100, 0, 0, 0, 100 and 100. While three of get combined together for 300, the rest eight managed only 49.
For Uttar Pradesh, paceman Amit Mishra finished with 6/106 in 28.5 overs.
Captain RP Singh did not take the field whole today after he pulled a hamstring yesterday and bowled only 10.4 overs. RP Singh could bat tomorrow.
Brief Scores
Karnataka 349 all out in 100.5 overs (CM Gautam 100, Robin Uthappa 100, Karun Nair 100, Amit Mishra 6/106) Vs Uttar Pradesh 221/9 in 70.3 overs (Parvinder Singh 92, Piyush Chawla 56, Abhimanyu Mithun 4/70, R Vinay Kumar 3/49).
Match status: UP trail by 128 runs with three days remaining

Dental Laser Ultrasound
invented by David Hsiao-chuan Wang and Professor Simon Fleming
Dental Laser Ultrasound
The Dental Laser Ultrasound uses sound waves to detect faults in your teeth at an early stage eliminating the need for surgical intervention. The sound wave is generated by a laser and picked up by a thin optical fibre.
About the Inventor
David Hsiao-chuan Wang is a PhD Research Student at the Institute of Photonics and Optical Science, School of Physics, University of Sydney.
Prof. Simon Fleming received his PhD degree from Leeds University, UK. Subsequently as a Senior Research Fellow at BT Labs, UK he researched fibre amplifiers and lasers. From 1996 to 2008 he headed the Optical Fibre Technology Centre at the University of Sydney, Australia. His research includes optical nonlinearity in silica and specialty fibre and fibre devices. He has authored ~230 publications, including several patents, and has been involved in organising ~30 conferences, including as General and Technical Program Chairs. He is a Professor in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney and a Fellow of the IET.

Online Discussion
Read what others have said or have your say.
When David Hsiao-Chuan Wang accepted the challenge of a University of Sydney scholarship proposal of 'using optics for dental health' he had no idea he would make a pioneering breakthrough in the area of painless analysis of tooth density. Thanks to his research soundwaves could soon be used to identify the early stages of decay, a process that often relies on the use of painful and damaging probes or other inaccurate methods such as x-rays.
Wang and Fleming have developed an Ultrasonic Evaluation Technique using laser-generated ultrasound to measure the elasticity of the surface of teeth. Wang's painless technique uses a short laser pulse to generate ultrasonic surface acoustic wave on the surface of the tooth enamel. This ultrasound pulse propagates across the area of interest on the enamel, while probing some distance under the surface, and is detected for analysis. The calculated propagation velocity of the ultrasound then reveals the elasticity of the tooth, from which the early stages of decay can be diagnosed.

Social Events, Party Photography
Don't be afraid to ask them to pose
As the photographer, you are the one ultimately in control of the image. If someone looks a little awkward, suggest different poses (or go physically move them yourself) until they get it just right. You'll be doing them a favor by getting them to look their best while getting the most interesting shots. Typically tilting your head slightly down when you are shooting someone straight on helps get rid of shadows and makes a face look sleek.
Take photos of your friends
These are the people who are most comfortable around you—and your camera. Friends will act naturally and in turn let you get natural shots. Photograph what you know best and expect the best work. And who knows what your friends will one day accomplish. Andy Warhol gave me my first pocket camera; I took tons of photos of him, some of which are used quite frequently.
Work with the lighting you have, not against it
Lighting can be a nightmare and ruin a perfectly good photo, so it's best to be aware of what light you will be working with throughout the night. Flash is almost always necessary, but most cameras onboard flashes can't light up more than 6 feet, so get close. If you are using an external flash, you have more wiggle room. External flashes can be harsh on skin tones; it's a good idea to have a diffuser to soften the light a little bit. Depending on the space, bouncing your flash—moving the head of the flash in the direction of a wall or ceiling—can make some interesting lighting.
Be ready
Even during "down time" there are interesting moments happening and photos to be taken. Always having your camera with you and reasonably accessible ensures you get the shot, no matter how fast it comes at you.
Have fun!
If it doesn't feel like you are working, you're bound to stick around longer and even help the atmosphere of the party. So get your camera, grab a friend and party on.

Nicki Minaj gives a glimpse of her acting chops in her new video, "Right Thru Me," which premiered last night (October 27) on "106 & Park."
Nicki's no stranger to acting. She was part of the drama program at LaGuardia High School in New York. During the interview, when asked if she plans on making the jump to the big screen, the first lady of Young Money said the time isn't quite right.
"Right now I wanna focus on touring," she told Terrence and Rocsi. "I mean, there's so many, forget the country, there's so many states I haven't even been to. I feel like I've neglected so many people like New Orleans, like, Minnesota. So, I wanna do every state, and I wanna do London. I wanna just do the countries, then I wanna focus on acting."
"To be honest, I've been getting scripts, but I don't wanna be... I think it would be selfish for me to be part of a role right now and I can't really devote myself to that," she continued. "I know what my passion is right now and my passion is 'Pink Friday.'"

By Julie Schmit, USA TODAY
PALMDALE, Calif. The parking lot at the Sam's Club here looks like others in Wal-Mart Stores' empire, except for one thing. Seventeen wind turbines spin atop the parking lot lights, producing up to 5% of the store's energy.
The turbines, installed in March, represent the largest retail installation of its type in the U.S. and a major test of the technology, Wal-Mart (WMT) says.
In a nearby city, Lancaster, a Walmart gets 50% of its energy from a potentially revolutionary fuel-cell technology.
And Monday, Wal-Mart is expected to announce plans to almost double the number of locations to have solar, with a next-generation solar technology planned for many of them.
CORPORATE DONORS: Wal-Mart tops list of charitable cash contributors
In 2005, Wal-Mart set the goal of being 100% reliant on renewable energy. It didn't give a time frame and hasn't said how far it's come. But given Wal-Mart's 8,400 locations worldwide, it's barely made a dent in the goal. Nonetheless, the world's biggest retailer is running real-world tests on green-energy technologies. Because of its heft, it could quickly deploy winning technologies and propel them into the mass market while proving to other companies that the economics work, renewable-energy experts say.
"If these technologies can pass the Wal-Mart hurdle, other people will say, 'We ought to look into it. It's not just a novelty,' " says Gwen Ruta, vice president of the Environmental Defense Fund.
Wal-Mart — one of the USA's largest private users of electricity — isn't pursuing renewables just for good PR. It'll turn to green energy, but only if it costs the same as or less than traditional power. So far, more than 90% of Wal-Mart's renewable projects have met that bar, says David Ozment, Wal-Mart's director of energy.
Since 2008, Wal-Mart's solar facilities, now numbering 31 in California and Hawaii, have even cut the retailer's energy costs by $1 million, Ozment says. That's small change for a company with annual revenue of $405 billion. But it's noteworthy because solar is still, on a national basis, more expensive than traditional energy, such as coal.
Some environmental groups have criticized Wal-Mart for not being more green. Advocacy group Wal-Mart Watch also says that Wal-Mart's green efforts divert attention away from the pollution created by the distance that many shoppers drive to get to its stores, which are often on the edges of cities. But other retail and green analysts say Wal-Mart is pursuing renewables with as much pace as possible, given the economics.
"They're trying to figure out how to apply their low-price model to solar, which isn't low-price," says Joel Makower, executive editor of GreenBiz.com. "This is hard stuff."
A big push to go green
Wal-Mart's work on renewables has happened in conjunction with its other major steps to go green. Five years ago, Wal-Mart pledged to eventually send no waste to landfills because everything is re-used, and to sell only products that sustain people and the environment. The company has since opened prototype stores that are 25% more energy-efficient, thanks to such steps as using more skylights and lights that automatically dim. Its U.S. truck fleet has become 60% more efficient, in part because of better route planning. By 2013, Wal-Mart wants its 100,000 suppliers to reduce packaging by 5%.
Creating green energy is a longer-term challenge. Last year, 10% of the USA's electricity was generated by renewables, led by hydropower and biofuels, the Department of Energy says. That's expected to go to 17% by 2035, the department says.
Wal-Mart says that's a realistic goal, but it hopes to move the needle more. This year, it'll expand use of:
•Solar. Wal-Mart first put solar on 20 U.S. sites starting in 2007 and added 11 more the past 18 months. In the next year, it'll put solar on another 20 to 30 facilities in California and Arizona, it'll announce today. The solar installations produce up to 30% of the facilities' energy.
More than half of the new solar stores will get non-traditional solar panels, dubbed thin film. Wal-Mart's use of thin film on rooftops is expected to be one of the largest commercial installations of the technology in the U.S., says Jonathan Bass, spokesman of SolarCity, which is installing the solar at the stores.
Thin-film solar panels usually cost less than traditional solar panels and require less raw material, making them more environmentally friendly, Wal-Mart says. The technology, around for decades, is less efficient than traditional solar. That has limited its deployment.
But the thin film's lower cost and recent advances in efficiency have made the panels more suitable for large rooftops.
"We're trying to pull thin film from the drawing board to the mainstream, and a company like Wal-Mart has more ability than anyone else to do that," Ruta says. The Environmental Defense Fund worked with Wal-Mart to develop its thin-film plans.
•Fuel cells. Late last year, Wal-Mart installed Bloom Energy fuel cells — rectangular boxes each about the size of a parking space — at two stores in Lancaster and Hemet, Calif.
At the Lancaster store, four of them hum like smooth-running air conditioners. They produce energy around the clock. Customers are unaware of them, tucked behind the store where trucks bring in goods.
"Never noticed them," Dannette Griggs, 49, a substitute teacher who lives in Lancaster, says as she shopped the store.
Bloom Energy, a 9-year-old company, unveiled the technology in February and says it could eventually power homes, apartment complexes, cities and even slices of countries that lack modern electrical grids. Bloom's unveiling won global attention, including a segment on CBS' 60 Minutes. With Bloom's fuel cell, air and fuel — such as natural gas, ethanol or biogas — are fed into the cell. The oxygen ions react with the fuel to produce electricity. There's no burning, so the fuel cell is two-thirds cleaner than coal-fired plants, Bloom says.
Wal-Mart has found the fuel cells work so well that it'll add the boxes, which Bloom says cost at least $700,000 each, to eight to 10 more California facilities within a year, it says. Operational issues have been nil, Wal-Mart adds.
Wal-Mart was one of 20 companies to roll out the technology with Bloom. Others included Google, eBay and Coca-Cola. Bloom expects to have about 100 Bloom boxes deployed in California by the end of the year, and one in Tennessee. In February, it had about 20, says Stu Aaron, Bloom vice president of marketing and product management.
Bloom sought out Wal-Mart, in part, because of its "frugal nature," Aaron says.
Wal-Mart is testing renewable energy at other sites, too.
Twelve mini wind turbines help power a Walmart in Worcester, Mass., and at facilities in China and Japan.
In Canada, a Walmart in Burlington, Ontario, is testing a geothermal installation that includes 9 miles of piping 7 to 9 feet deep under the parking lot. In the winter, the relative warmth of the ground heats a liquid. That's piped into the store to produce heat. In the summer, the earth cools the liquid, providing the opposite effect. Wal-Mart has no plans to expand the concept — yet.
"It's still a living laboratory for us," says Andrew Pelletier, vice president of sustainability for Walmart Canada.
What other companies are doing
Other companies have moved faster with renewable energy.
Kohl's Department Stores has 100U.S. locations equipped with solar. It operates 1,089 U.S. stores and was named the No. 1 green retailer based on Newsweek's 2009 green rankings. Kimberly-Clark produces far more green power than Wal-Mart, says the Environmental Protection Agency.
But few, if any, companies have Wal-Mart's size, influence over suppliers and ability to push a new technology into the mainstream. Its impact on LED lighting underscores its heft.
LED (light-emitting diode) lights last longer and use less energy but cost more than fluorescent bulbs. Five years ago, Wal-Mart put LEDs in refrigerated display cases to test the technology ahead of its peers.
GE and Wal-Mart worked together to improve the technology, says Steve Briggs, vice president of marketing and product management for GE Lighting Solutions. In 2007, Wal-Mart made LEDs standard in new stores in refrigerated cases. It has retrofitted stores, too. Since Wal-Mart's first embrace, LED costs have been cut in half, thanks to improvements in the technology and reduced manufacturing costs because of higher volumes, Briggs says. At least 40% of U.S. refrigerated cases in major retail stores now use LEDs, Briggs says.
"Wal-Mart kicked it off," he says.
The method behind the effort
Wal-Mart looks at a variety of factors when deciding what to test and where, says Kim Saylors-Laster, vice president of energy for the company.
Renewables make the most economic sense in states where energy costs are high (Hawaii), in states were incentives are good (California), and in places where there's ample resource, such as wind in Texas.
Not everything Wal-Mart tests works out. For five years, Wal-Mart has had a 120-foot wind turbine at a store in McKinney, Texas. Wal-Mart erred by putting the turbine at a low point on the property, where the wind flow wasn't as good as in other areas, Saylors-Laster says. The turbine took up a lot of space — space that's not available in many store parking lots, she adds. Many cities, Wal-Mart notes, have height restrictions that would bar the tall turbines.
Given those concerns, Wal-Mart has looked to other types of wind. Since last year, it's purchased up to 15% of its energy for 350 Texas facilities from a Duke Energy wind farm in Texas.
In Palmdale, the wind turbines atop the light poles rise 60 feet into the air. From tip to tip, the blades are 12 feet across. From a nearby freeway, they look whimsical as they twirl. Rattling shopping cart wheels make more noise. Sam's Club customers say they like the turbines and support Wal-Mart's efforts. "If I could put one in my backyard, I would," says shopper Pat Hartford, 55, of Quartz Hill, Calif.
Wal-Mart's size makes it possible
While environmentalists hope that Wal-Mart's vetting of technologies will prove them to others, Wal-Mart has advantages that smaller companies may not have.
In Texas, Wal-Mart purchases its wind power directly from Duke Energy through Wal-Mart's own wholesale energy company. That cuts out a middleman and reduces costs to Wal-Mart.
With the new solar installations, SolarCity will own the panels and sell the power they generate to Wal-Mart at a set price for 10 years. Typically, such commercial power-purchase agreements run longer, often 20 years, so that the energy provider has more time to recoup costs.
In recent years, Wal-Mart has pressed for 10-year deals so that it has more flexibility to relocate stores, Ozment says. SolarCity has never done a 10-year power-purchase agreement, CEO Lyndon Rive says. It's doing so with Wal-Mart because of the deal's size and the future potential.
"This only works with Wal-Mart's kind of scale," Rive says. But eventually, Rive says, "Businesses will watch and say, 'If they can do this, we can, too.' That will drive demand and reduce costs for everybody."

Designer Harry Allen's Brush Vase in White brings back the raw excitement of a blank canvas that I often felt as a child in art class. Of course, that was before I realized that I'm terrible at painting. Even if you are a Picasso of sorts, this vase allows you to put down your brushes and take time to assemble the roses. Your guests will inquire about your eye for design as well as art. Harry Allen's Reality Series celebrates a tradition of found art by immortalizing objects that typically pass unnoticed. He dips objects like Rollerskates, nuts, bananas, (even his own hand!), in resin to create a mold. The result becomes art that wins the approval of Marcel Duchamp appreciators. The Brush Vase in White as well as the Bestow Vase/Candle Holder recently featured in NY Times Home and Garden, are both part of this curious collection.

Gabrielle Union + Dwyane Wade + Internet = Meme on Fire
"A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on" – Someone who knew what they were talking about.
After taking another long break from writing, I would have never imagined my first two posts would be about Gabrielle Union. And for the record, I don't particularly feel sorry for celebrities. Many in the entertainment/sports industries experience incredible highs and devastating lows, but hey if a person doesn't want that life, they can quit their profession and leave the spotlight. That being said, I was ABSOLUTELY shocked to see how quickly an absolutely false meme caught fire to become the most hottest topic of the day, at least for black twitter.
So yesterday I was surfing the innanets as I often do, when I came across a few tweets a la "Gabrielle says she is at fault for Dwyane getting another woman pregnant." I was floored. Umm-kay, while I don't investigate every quote or story I run across on the web, this seemed particularly unbelievable. So as custom to most internetphiles, I combed through a few tweets until I found a blog post which referenced ANOTHER blog post so I had to continue to dig until I found what seems to be the original article about Gabrielle's confession. Below is screenshot of the article on SandraRose.com,
At this point, I am super incredulous so decided to follow the link to the Glamour article referenced and saw:
I read the Glamour interview twice and no where did Gabrielle blame herself in any shape or form for Dwyane sleeping with someone else. The first blog post takes two statements in quotes from Glamour, but the paragraphs in between are the cause of the "Being Mary Jane" star's most recent controversy. It seems as if the writer was summarizing direct statements from Gabby, but those statements were not in the linked Glamour article.
I tried to contact Sanda Rose via twitter (the dreaded '@-ing' someone) to find out if they were pulling information from another interview, but alas no response.
Gabrielle clearly states that her work schedule put a strain on their relationship because she was so busy. Now if a person wants to argue that a grown woman (or man for that matter) can't decide to prioritize their life and put their relationship before their career, that is on them, however, I wholeheartedly disagree.
In record time, Gabrielle was relentlessly slayed+slandered+slaughtered all across the internets, even TMZ got in on the action today. Tweet after Facebook post, she was continually berated for being a self-loathing, idiotic, desperate woman……based on a blog post referencing an interview that said nothing of the sort.
I guess in this day and age, I really shouldn't be shocked this happened…

Synopsis Edit
This will (if warp-to-window-enabled and cycle-raise-windows are t) warp the pointer to windows while cycling.
Since the former is disabled by default. It shouldn't make a difference for most people.
ChangeLog Edit
0.0 initial patch.
0.1 fixed command-order.
0.2 use if necessary warp command.
Patch testing Edit
- Copy/paste the patch listed below into some file, eg.
- If you don't have sawfish sources yet, have one, as described get it from GIT repo.
- Go into the directory where sawfish sources reside, eg.
cd sawfish
- Test if the patch applies cleanly with this command:
patch -p1 --ignore-whitespace --dry-run < TEST.diffin case of problems try also:
- If it applies cleanly, then remove the
--dry-runfrom above command and run it again, otherwise ask on the mailing list.
- Compile sawfish:
./autogen.sh && make
- Install it for testing, but it depends on your linux distribution.
- It is always better to install sawfish as your distribution package, but it is different for each distribution.
- So you may try
make install, which will install sawifish in
/usr/local/share/sawfish/(if you have write access). But then make sure that you run the correct version and delete it from that directory afterwards, to avoid any conflicts.

Fractions Simplify What is Simplifying Fractions? Well, Simplifying fractions is when you reduce the fraction but still keep the same amount. What are Fractions? A Fraction represents a part of a whole number. Fractions always have to be equal. Haven't you ever looked at a fraction and thought
"Wow, those are big numbers!" ?
That's when you start simplifying to make it easier. Let's say your fraction is:
72 What can you divide these numbers equally by? 2!! So let's start dividing. 46 2 23
72 2 36 You've just simplified!!
It's that simple. Let's do some more!! 45
75 What can you divide these numbers equal by? 5!! But you don't always have to start dividing with small numbers, you can also divide with big numbers first. What number bigger than 5 do you see? 45
75 15!! Let's divide!! 45 15 3
75 15 5 You just simplified again! REMEMBER, what you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. The top number is called the numerator. The bottom is called the denominator. 33
66 What is the number you can divide these by equaly? 11!! Let's divide!! 33 11 3
66 11 6 You can divide it again!!
By... 3!! 3 3 1
6 3 2 Adding What is adding fractions? Adding fractions is when you add two or more fractions together. Let's add! 3 1 4
5 5 5 First thing to do:
Look if your denominators are the same.
If they are, don't add them. Don't
change!! There you go!! Let's try with denominators that are different. What you do then is find the LCM of the two denominators. What is LCM? LCM LCM is short for Lowest Common Multiple. It is when you have to numbers and find which multiple that they have in common, the lowest number is the LCM. How do you find the LCM? Let's say your numbers are 6 and 8.
Write down the first few multiples of 6. Let's start with 6. Here are first few multiples of 6:
6x1 = 6
6x2 = 12
6x3 = 18
6x4 = 24
6x5 = 25
Now let's write the multiples of 8. Stop when you see a number that we have in 6.
8x1 = 8
8x2 = 16
8x3 = 24
YES!! We've got a match!!
24 is the LCM of 6 and 8. Let's continue with adding. Remember how to get a LCM because we will use it more. 1 3
6 8 Change!!
The denominators are different!! We change it to the LCM of the two
denominators. The numbers are 6 and 8.
We just did that so we know the
LCM is 24!! 1 3
6 8 24 LCM Change to... Okay, now that that's done!
Subtracting is next!! Subtracting What is subtracting Fractions? Subtracting Fractions is when you subtract two fractions Subtracting Fractions is just the same as Adding Fractions. The only difference is that you add in adding fractions and subtract in subtraction fractions Subtracting Fractions is just the same as adding fractions only with Adding Fractions you add and with Subtracting Fractions you subtract! Let's try!! 5 2
7 7 Just like in adding you don't add the denominators. 5 2 3
7 7 7 SAME Let's add with denominators that are different. 3 1
8 5 Because we changed the denominator we have to change the numerator! 1 3
6 8 4 24 4 4 3 24 3 9 so..
if we add our answers... 4 9 13
24 24 24 CHANGE!! The LCM of 5 and 8:
5x8 = 40
8x5 = 40 Just like in adding, what you do to the denominator you do to the numerator. 3 1
8 5 5 5 40 15 8 8 8 40 If we subtract our answers... 15 8 7
40 40 40 Because we can't simplify this, this is our final answer. Multiply Now that we've finished that, Multiplying is next! What is multiplying fractions? Multiplying fractions is when you multiply two fractions. Multiplying fractions different then adding
or subtracting fractions, this is much easier. 3 2
8 7 6
56 There is our answer!! 5 2 10
8 8 64 BUT... You can simplify!! 6 2 3
64 2 32 This can be simplified!! 10 2 5
64 2 32 There is our answer!! Dividing What is dividing fractions?

LANDOVER -- Three thoughts following the Washington Redskins 21-17 win over the Detroit Lions Thursday night.
* Robert Griffin III wasn't the only one facing criticism over the last week. Sure, Jay Gruden wasn't put through the media spin cycle like his starting quarterback, but plenty of fans and analysts, me included, were frustrated that Griffin played so little in the preseason opener at Cleveland. If we're going to say losing valuable practice time due to fighting is wasteful, then in-game snaps are precious.
In Thursday's win, the coach stuck with his starting quarterback for four drives, including the first one of the second quarter.
As far as Griffin's health, it was one too many. Playing behind an offensive line that labored without starting left tackle Trent Williams, RG3 suffered a concussion and a shoulder stinger after taking the last of numerous hits.
No wonder the decision to stay with his starting quarterback led to some raised eyebrows and loud criticism of the coach postgame.
We won't be doing that here.
No doubt, Griffin took a beating. That's one of the possibilities when playing football.
No doubt, at times his blockers didn't do their job. Credit RG3 for hanging in the pocket as often as he did.
Now an uncertain timetable exists. Gruden said postgame he "would imagine, depending how long" Griffin is out, "he's still going to be our starter."
Williams, who suffered a right foot sprain during practice, watched from the sideline as Griffin was hit on six of eight dropbacks.
"It definitely makes you cringe, "Williams said of watching all the blows Griffin endured.
However, are we ignoring the fact that Griffin's primary deficiency is holding onto the ball too long? Are we forgetting that RG3 took sacks at a historic pace last season?
Did the offensive line let him down? They certainly were overmatched.
In the context of whether to play or sit Griffin, I'm not sure it matters.
The bottom line is Griffin needs reps, period. Nobody took the other side of this argument over the last week. The first team offense still hasn't generated a touchdown. Yes, Pierre Garcon dropped a sure score against the Browns. No such obvious mistake this week.
"We weren't doing that well on offense," Gruden said when asked about keeping Griffin in for a fourth possession. "I wanted to get something going on offense. A lot of quarterbacks play into the second quarter in a pre-season game.
"Football is a tough sport. We wanted to get something going offensively. Unfortunately, it didn't work out."
Playing without Williams weakens the line, but the other starters were in the game. (By the way, Williams told me postgame he would have played if a regular season game.) Also, the Lions played without starters, including Haloti Ngata.
Rookie right guard Brandon Scherff struggled at times. Ideally, he and right tackle Morgan Moses fix their woes and turn into Russ Grimm and Joe Jacoby by Week 1. If not, then Griffin must deal with facing a pass rush. Improving on his ability to handle such pressure won't happen watching.
While acknowledging he needed to watch film for a full evaluation, Gruden said Griffin was "startled" when a Detroit defender bull-rushed Scherff during the opening drive. The QB is hit regardless on the play, but perhaps he still could have made a play.
Starting to watch the tape now. Yes, Scherff was beaten like a drum on 1st sack (not shocking at all) but Rob had Grant open out of break.— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) August 21, 2015
This is what Griffin wants to see (Grant) but it's too late. This is his problem with anticipation. pic.twitter.com/NLf53ju3i1— Paul Conner (@P_Hazard) August 21, 2015
Unless Griffin's concussion or shoulder pain occurred earlier in the game, there was no on-field reason for sitting him. He needed the work and the offense needed more reps with him if the team insists he starts over Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy.
If that's Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck or Carson Palmer getting slammed repeatedly, they're exit comes sooner. We're talking about proven commodities. At this point, Griffin is not that. He might think he's Washington's best QB. The true reality is that the answer isn't so obvious, especially after another game where the offense looked crisper under backups Colt McCoy and Kirk Cousins. Yes, they faced backup defenses, but also played behind the backup OL.
If playing behind this starting offensive line spooked Griffin, then the Redskins might have a bigger problem than a spotty offensive line: A spooked starting quarterback.
* Adam Hayward reportedly suffered an ACL injury. Gruden hinted as much, but did not confirm. On the depth chart, Hayward is an inside linebacker, but the veteran's real value comes on special teams, the unit he captains. Washington already lost tight end Niles Paul, another positive special teams presence. Adding Hayward to the list would be "a big blow for special teams and leadership," Gruden said. Final roster decisions often come down to which players can help in the return and coverage aspects of the game. That might go triple for this season.
* The Redskins rushed for 179 yards on 40 carries. That's a healthy 4.5 yards per carry clip. Yes, let's not the caveat of this being the preseason. For that matter, backup Matt Jones (8-44), Chris Thompson (5-37) and Trey Williams (10-52) generated the bulk of their work against Detroit's second and third string defenders. The point here is that running the ball will become Washington's identity this season. Alfred Morris (3-10) is the established option. By the looks of things, there are versatile options behind him, led by the power-packed Jones. Thompson adds a shifty, breakaway element. Same for Williams, who is likely on the roster bubble. Versatile fullback Darrel Young helps the cause.
We know about the quarterback concerns, but running the ball helps take the pressure off the passers. We know about the offensive line fears, especially with the youthful right side, but this group looks better run blocking than pass protecting. We know about the tight end injuries. Using offensive tackle Tom Compton in that spot, as they did against the Lions, takes away a potential target. It also adds a sixth offensive lineman; Compton lined up to the right of tackle Morgan Moses and helped open a hole on Morris's 10-yard run.
Suggesting that the Redskins can run their way to the playoffs is overly simplistic. With their concerns elsewhere offensively, keeping it simple makes plenty of sense right now. That means running the ball early and often. With Morris, Jones, Thompson and perhaps Williams, the Redskins appear to have the options needed for such a plan.
