Went into a rage at Teenage Son(44 Posts)
Like most other posts here he is a typical teenager (14)
Thinks he is entitled to everything and that the trees in our garden have money growing on them.
Tidyness and organisation are a constant battle with him, it goes in one ear and out of the other.
Cut to Saturday, he spent the day round his friends. I drove him there and picked him up, round trip of about 15 miles.
While he was out DW and I emptied his bedroom, tidied up the walls where there were lots of holes from shelves, TV's, Pictures etc. Re painted (quickly), cleaned the whole room top to bottom, re laid it out so it was more functional, generally spent all day on it.
His reaction when he came back;
"It's alright"
Had a chat about keeping it tidy, laundry, crockery and rubbish.
Sunday, I happened to wander into his room to find him on his Ipad with Laundry, crockery and rubbish littering his bedroom.
Cue me telling him that this was unacceptable, he should clear it up and do the things he has to do before the things he wants to do.
Then from downstairs I hear DW having a rant too and I could hear him on quite a few occasions during the rant tell his mother to;
"Shut up Mum!"
I walk upstairs to find him in the bathroom about to brush his teeth;
"Son, I don't ever want to hear you speak to your mother like that again. I suggest you do what you have got to do and spend the rest of the day staying out of our (Me and DW) way"
All this was fairly calm until DW joined in again ranting that she was sorting it out, trying to butt in (although I probably did in the first place) and this started a disagreement between me and DW.
That's when I saw red and went into a verbal rage at him, shouting and slamming doors. (real childish behaviour)
But I'd had enough of him disrespecting the his mother and all the things she does for him.
Arghhhhhhhhhh. Teenagers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After that Sunday was a quiet day in our house
Just a quick thought:
how much input did he have in your redecorating his room? had he asked you to do it, did he choose the colours etc, did he think the rearrangements more functional?
if he was not involved but it was something you did because you wanted it done, then maybe gratitude is a bit much to expect
fwiw I did rearrange 13yo ds' room when he was away on holiday - because I wanted it done; but I knew that's what I was doing so was willing to make do with tolerance rather than gratitude as his reaction- I knew I was invading his personal space a bit
Did you ask his permission before you rearranged his bedroom?
Did you knock before you "wandered into his room"?
Teenagers seriously have to ability to tip any calm easy going parent into a rage.
When my ds13 doesn't do something that I ask after about the 3rd time. I switch his xbox/tv off and walk out.
He has to get out of his pit to switch it back on.
He then does the request I've asked.
I have been known to keep his remote for a few days when he has been a pita.
I also think he should have shown gratitude for all the effort you put into his room.
He shouldn't be rude but I don"5 see why he should be grateful for having his bedroom shifted round without his consent..........
Theres a bit of a back story to this.
His room was just touched up, decoration wise, just to paint over filled holes.
Most of the reason for the filled holes were where we took a 32in LCD TV off his wall.
Why? I hear you ask, because he broke it! Stabbing the screen with his finger whilst getting excited playing Xbox.
His room needed rearranging to fit a 'reserve' TV in.
I didn't exect any gratitude, I did however expect him to keep it tidy for more than 12hrs, when I walked in (door was open, we always knock if its closed) on Sunday morning to find clothes, crockery and rubbish littering his room I told him it was unacceptable.
My issue with him was the way he spoke to his mother. She's a SAHM and does loads for both children and he should have a little more respect for her and what she does for him when he contributes nothing.
She won't gain any respect from him if you step in like a parent sorting a squabble between children. He'll just see her as unable to deal with him, and having to call you in as the boss.
You need to have three or four basic rules and consequences for not following them, which you enforce calmly and consistently every time.
I agree with the previous poster. As hard as it is when he is having a go at your wife / his mum you need to let them sort it out between them. Otherwise he will come to see her as a push over and you as the parent who is in charge. You just need to back up whatever punishment or whatever your wife decides to do. As hard as it is if they are having a slanging match keep your head down and keep out of it - unless of course it becomes in any way physical and you need to separate your son which you would do calmly etc etc.
Teenagers are truly selfish and egocentric. Its not their fault, its just the way they are programmed.
It does pass.
So he makes a mess, you and his mum tidy it.
He breaks his tv, you remove it, then go in a rearrange everything so he can have another tv?
Can you not see the problem here.
He has no respect for anything because he doesn't need to. He knows you will run around after him. Tidy up after him. Replace things he breaks.

I know! I can see what's going wrong. We can both see what's going wrong. We need to find a compromise to teenage parenting between us.
I'm too tough, DW is too soft. We both admit it, we just need to sort it out but you know how it is, anything for an easy life.
I get that! Thank's
One of the issues is also that when his mother is ranting at him he walks away and she continues to rant, to herself.
I find it quite rude that he walks away but DW seems to be ok with it, I guess the rant gets it off of her chest.
Oh, And I know I dealt with it like a teenager myself.
We are all prone to being plonkers, esprcially when it comes to parenting
Is he your oldest? Our oldest is 15yo ds and it is such a learning curve. Situation sounds similar to ours at times.
No helpful advice but watching the thread!
I would shut the door on his room and walk away. you and dw should let him get on with it. if he makes mess then let him deal with it.
just because your dw is a sahm doesn't mean she has to revolve her life around clearing up after him.
I have a ds who is 16. he is no angel but will clear up and do things for himself.
I said the self same thing to DW but she can't bring herself to do it.
It would take a week before he ran out of clothes, couldn't get into his bedroom because of the rubbish on the floor.
When I got home from work last night I went up to see him and his school uniform was just strewn over the floor where he took it off.
"Hang your uniform up son"
He is our eldest btw
Youngest (10) keeps out of the way, lol, he's learning.
' we just need to sort it out but you know how it is, anything for an easy life.'
I agree, I like an easy life too. But it's not making your life any easier, is it? Or creating a calm and smoothly functioning home for all the residents?
I found that having a few basic rules that were for everyone helped a lot towards making life easier.
Pick your fights, think of three things that you need to change and have a clear idea of what will be the consequence if they don't.
Then stick to them. Don't make it too draconic, you need to keep the big guns for big problems. At the moment you seem to have a bad-mannered oik.
The sooner that changes the better, or you will have an unmanageable adult that you will end up throwing out of the house.
believe me I totally undertand. had 2 eds and they were messy. I have mellowed with ds as he's the only 1 living at home.
I gave up with yd. her room was terrible and the mess affected the rest of the house.
I bet it is hard for you dw as she is there much more. do his washing and meals but be vacant if he needs a lift or cash etc.
Please don't do that!! I hate it when H decides I am not being strict enough when I am dealing with it my OWN WAY! H barges in and bellows and then seems to think he is backing me up. It isn't back-up, it's undermining. The 'way he speaks to his mum' is an issue for her to deal with not you.
And not taking his crockery downstairs etc BEFORE he relaxes is a timing issue. He should do what you ask but there is no reason why he has to do it WHEN you expect him to.
And lastly a teenagers room should be his castle to a certain extent. If I choose to invade DS1's room I might chunter about the mess a little but I won't get angry with him. I know that eventually he will tidy it up and the plates will get taken downstairs - but on his timescale not mine.
Annoying? Yes, sometimes but not that dreadful in the grand scheme of things.
I'd rather have a relaxed easy-going relationship with the teenagers in my house than have them jump to it like soldiers on parade and be miserable and resentful.
Sorry op. I can see you were doing what you thought best. Do you think there is a bit of males clashing antlers going on in your house?
"Do you think there is a bit of males clashing antlers going on in your house?"
You could be right there. I've got a motorcycle helmet, I think I may need to don it for our next testostorone clash ;)
And I note the rest of your post, that's pretty much what DW said.
He's a nice kid most of the time but he's un organised, messy, has little respect.......
Hang on, I'm describing a typical teenager there, lol
I pretty much agree with ormirian's post.
Although it is fine and necessary to expect certain standards from him, I get the impression that you aren't really respecting his space. I did cringe a bit at the take-over operation in his room while he was at a friend's. Too generous, if it was gratuitously replacing stuff he broke, but also too controlling. My 14 y.o. painted his room himself and he always chooses the lay-out of the room. Your kindness and your control are all bound together in a way that makes what you do for him hard for him to acknowledge with more than minimal thanks through gritted teeth.
Be firm with him by leaving him do things for himself where possible. And when you do things for him, don't let that be a strategy for imposing your will.
Also, your opening post did very much suggest that you aren't really respecting your DW either. In your words she "rants" "butts in" (even you had been the first to butt in) and creates disagreement. It might be good to have a quiet chat together about how you will deal with future flashpoints.
(when I say he chooses the lay-out of his room, I mean he does it himself, from time to time, whenever he fancies a change. I don't go tugging furniture around in his room. It's his place not mine.)
DS left his sandwich plates in his room several times, he got a reminder, then a firm reminder. Then I didn't buy bacon for a fortnight.
Same with bottles and tins, leave them in your room to fester, it's off the shopping list. No conflict, and it stopped being a problem years ago.
Both bacon a
When he's being a 'typical teenager' what consequences are there for unacceptable behaviour, other than being shouted at?
Meant to say, bacon and drinks went back on the list once he made the connection.
I think I would do what other posters suggest and quietly tiptoe away from his room averting my eyes.
It is, as they say, his castle. Also, at this age, he should be getting used to making his own decisions and facing the consequences.
If he runs out of clothes- that's his problem. Let him get detention for not wearing his uniform properly, let his mates take the mickey out of him for looking unkempt.
I agree with that ButThereAgain said about being at the same time too generous and too controlling. Generous and controlling is what we do to smaller children. He needs reassurance that you are beginning to view him as a grown-up. If you had a friend who kept his house untidy you would not be barging in to sort him out, would you?
By all means, be firm about communal spaces, and about things that might affect hygiene/attract rats etc- in other words, things that directly affect you. But for the rest, try to be a little less helpful.
Don't paint it that bleakly
"I get the impression that you aren't really respecting his space"
His room is his own, we never disturb him uninvited and always knock before we go in
"take-over operation in his room while he was at a friend's"
^Because he had broken his TV and previously we had moved shelves etc around we spoke to him about helping out but he decided he would go round his friends, so it was not exactly a tak over operation. I should have made that clearer in my OP.
"minimal thanks through gritted teeth"
We were not expecting thanks, just that he kept his room tidy for more than 12 hrs, it would have shown a little self respect if nothing else
"Also, your opening post did very much suggest that you aren't really respecting your DW either"
I find this comment quite harsh! I admit I butted in where I should not have done, I won't be doing so in future but saying that I don't really repect my DW is taking things a little too far TBH. Don't we all make cocks (or fannies) of ourselves in the heat of the moment occasionally

Well, my good experience was soon overturned to a bad one! I ordered a pallet of returned household items. This was my first pallet of returns. I assumed there was a risk that alot of it would be no good, but 100% of it was trash! Literally trash! I thought returns could be for several reasons, including people returning an item b/c they didn't like the color or wrong size or something like that but this pallet was all items that when purchased the buyer also bought the 'Replacement Warranty'. These items were trashed and then the customer simply called up the company and asked for a replacement and they mailed back the trashed item. The company didn't even open the packages from these people to see the condition. I guess it was a no questions asked replacement warranty. The items were all in horrible condition. But this was my own fault - I just didn't think ANYONE would sell items in this condition. Nothing I can do about it. I through most of it away. I was able to repair a few things but they were still not in good enough condition to sell for hardly anything! LESSON LEARNED!! I will not buy anything labeled 'returns' from liquidation.com. I plan on buying my pallets from Jimmy. If he'll ship to me in Alaska (I am moving there in a couple of weeks).
I am wanting to order a pallet or two once I get settled in Alaska (in about 2 weeks). Will you be able to ship there? How can I get a quote on shipping? I also read on one of your posts about how you can break down the pallets and ship them in boxes. Would that be a better option since I would be having it shipped so far? I am really anxious to try out your pallets. Craigslist is popular in Alaska so I want to try that out. I don't know if Ebay will be great from there b/c I will have to charge so much to ship the item from there.

Culture shock
by Xia Zhang - Aug. 17, 2008 12:00 AM
Special for The Republic
While the Olympians and Olympic enthusiasts try to focus their attention on the Games, I cannot help but think about the culture shock they must be encountering in Beijing.
I say this from my own experience of being raised in one culture and living in another.
Unlike the culture shock people usually experience, mine is twofold. The first kind is what I went through when I first came to the United States; the second is what I experienced and continue to experience every time I go back to Beijing, my birthplace.
Let me give you a few examples of the first kind of culture shock.
The one I remember most was how I felt after a conversation with my husband, in which he mentioned that I hardly ever say, "Thank you."
I was just dumbfounded: "What does he mean by asking me to thank him? We are family!"
Well, in Chinese culture, if you say thank you to a family member, you are actually distancing yourself. Needless to say, I now say thank you almost profusely.
Another culture shock I encountered is how much people talk about politics here. I did not understand at the time why they did that. It seemed to me there was nothing they could do about it anyway.
Chinese culture traditionally discourages discussing politics. As a matter of fact, it was customary for teahouses in the old days to display a sign reading: "No politics."
Nowadays, people just gather together in Starbucks, which seems to be on every corner of Beijing streets.
The last culture shock I am going to mention is how differently body language is interpreted. Shortly after I came to the United States, I went to visit a girlfriend who had come to the States a year before. We were walking on the streets of New York, sightseeing, when I noticed that she was not willing to hold my hand.
Later on she explained to me that women don't hold women's hands and men don't hold men's hands in the United States.
Growing up, I was always holding hands with my girlfriends and there was no age limit to it. Well, I got rid of that habit more quickly than I thought I could.
As if the first kind of culture shock is not enough, now I have that of another kind. After living here for 20 years and getting used to the way of living here, I get culture shock when I go back to Beijing.
Here, we are so used to purchasing on credit. I buy everything on credit, including groceries. In China, it's just the opposite.
My mom had some furniture delivered to her house. She paid the delivery person 3,000 yuan in cash. We went to the store to buy her a refrigerator. We had to take 2,000 yuan with us. People even buy apartments in cash! There is such a thing as a credit card, but that is only for the elitists.
The way people drive in Beijing is a surprise to me. One time a taxi driver took a shortcut to get to my destination. He told me that it was a market and that he was not supposed to drive there. But, it would be fast because there would be no other traffic.
There we were zigzagging, avoiding the man on the left with a live chicken in a cage on the backseat of his bicycle, swerving around a pile of tomatoes spread out on the street and honking at a mom with a toddler in her arms, seemingly oblivious to the car behind her.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a truck came straight at us. Obviously, another driver had the same idea about the shortcut.
The truck got closer and closer. Neither driver had the inclination of slowing down or swerving. I held onto the handle tightly, closed my eyes and started praying. I did not know I was religious until then. When I opened my eyes and looked back, I saw the truck, the man on the bicycle, the mother and her toddler all sound and safe.
What shocked me most was how easily available alcohol is. You can buy liquor everywhere, even on the side of the streets from small vendors.
You can hold your gallon of wine you bought from a street vendor, singing while swinging the bottle as you walk home.
You can even take what's left in your beer bottle home after a meal.
One time I stayed in Beijing for a month. I have to say that I got a little too used to the ways of Beijing. Shortly after coming back, a girlfriend and I went out. I was drinking from a bottle in her car, when she asked me what I was drinking. I told her nonchalantly, "Vodka tonic."
In summary, my culture shock is really twofold. Sometimes I feel that I am neither fish nor fowl. The upside is that I have best of both worlds.
All said, I have the following suggestions for our Olympians and our Olympian enthusiasts in Beijing: Be thrifty with your "thank-yous." Avoid politics. Hold your friend's hand, if you dare. Take a lot of cash with you while out shopping (unless you want to shop at stores geared toward tourists). Don't follow the traffic rules as religiously as you do in the States (if you want to get somewhere quickly). Drink some readily available Chinese wine and beer. And most of all, embrace the differences of both cultures.
What if????
Have you ever??
The "Brief Safe" is an innovative diversion safe that can secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables from inquisitive eyes and thieving hands, both at home and when you're traveling. Items can be hidden right under their noses with these specially-designed briefs which contain a fly-accessed 4" x 10" secret compartment with Velcro closure and "special markings" on the lower rear portion. Leave the "Brief Safe" in plain view in your laundry basket or washing machine at home, or in your suitcase in a hotel room - even the most hardened burgler or most curious snoop will "skid" to a screeching halt as soon as they see them. (Wouldn't you?) Made in USA. One size. Color: white (and brown). You can buy them here.
To add realistic smell, check out "Doo Drops".

BPA info
Just found this info on the web here...
With the recent news that products that contains BPA may be harmful to our health, stores across Canada and some parts of the USA are taking these plastic bottles, sippys, and other products off the shelf.
In the meantime, you probably have some of bottles and sippy cups that do contain BPA's. An easy way to spot them is to look at the bottom of the bottle or cup and look for the recycling symbol. If it has a 7 in it, it contains BPA's. You will want to keep the bottles that have the numbers 2, 4, or 5. **It seems that not all #7 plastics contain BPA's, however many do, so refer to the list for safe alternatives.
What is BPA? BPA stands for Bisphenol A and is a harmful chemical found in polycarbonate plastic which has been used to make baby bottles, sippy cups, and other such plastics.
Why is BPA Harmful? BPA mimics the human hormone estrogen, and when humans are exposed to even small quantities it has effects that include cancers, behavior disorders, and fertility issues. BPA Free Baby Products from Amazon

My personal opinion on the matter of BPA's is even though there is a lot of media "hype", even if there is just the slightest risk from the presence in baby and other plastic products it is worth it to me to make the switch. There are many plastics that do not contain any traces of BPA's it is an inexpensive change.

Kids & Hospitals
"1) EMLA or ELAMAX- this is numbing cream that can be used before shots, IV's. Ask for this or head to your doctor and ask for some before you head to the hospital. Its good and it works but sometimes taking the tape that covers it off hurts.
2) If your IV comes out, ask if it really needs to be restarted. Most antibiotics can be switched to oral forms and if your child is handling drinking okay, there's no need to stick him or her again. At the same time, you may need an IV for pain meds. Advocate for your child.
3) If your child needs morphine, ask if they can also give tylenol. Tylenol plus morphine has a much longer lasting effect "
15 Commandment Playdates
by Parents Magazine

●Stay to long. (An hour is plenty for the littlest ones.)
●Leave without helping to clean up.

●Schedule playdates at naptime.
●Supervise the kids any less rigorously than you would your own

●Bring a sibling or a friend to tag along.
●Neglect to have your children say, "Thanks for having me/"
●Feed snacks without asking about food allergies and parental preferences.

Wow, was that a great site with awesome information. Please go check them out at http://organizedhome.com/
CHECK RULES ( http://www.tsa.gov/ ) to see what is and isn't permitted in checked luggage and carry-on bags.
PLAN AHEAD. Start thinking about what you want pack.
WRITE a master list of everything you think you'll need for a trip.
MIX-AND-MATCH separates in neutral colors, such as black, navy and beige are most versitile.
WRINKLE FREE fabrics, such as microfiber, nylon or a cotton/polyester blend are great.
ROLLING - try rolling as many of your clothes as possible. Saves room and help with the wrinkle factor.
JEWELRY – only take what you are wearing, less worry.
TOILETRIES - keep to a minimum and use travel size.
ZIPLOC Pack items in leakproof resealable bags or clear toiletry bags
CARRY ON ITEMS cameras, iPods, jewelry, prescription medication and important documents (passports, tickets) should always be carried on.
PACK a couple of days prior to departure. Never pack the night before.
BULKY ITEMS – try to wear these on the plane so they don't take up too much room in the suitcase.
ZIPPERS - if there are two zippers on one track. When closing a bag, pull the zippers all the way around the bag to the bottom; so they don't snag on other items.
UNIQUELY IDENTIFY you luggage with neon-colored duct tape or colorful tag to make them stand out on the luggage carousel.
IDENTIFICATION - Be sure your name, address and telephone number are on the bag, both on a luggage tag and on a card tucked inside the luggage. Include contact information at your destination as well.
LOCKS - If you want to lock your bag, use a TSA-approved lock. TSA locks can be opened by security inspectors by using special tools provided by the lock makers. If you don't use an approved one, screeners may deliberately break your lock to search your bag. Of course, they may do this anyway with TSA-approved locks, but at least you'll decrease the odds.

A SEVEN gun salute provided an ear shattering finale to an Aldershot Golden Jubilee entertainment extravaganza last Saturday.
The tribute to the Queen's 50 years reign was fired by members of the Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery.
Their explosive salute took place at the Queen's Parade sports field where more than 5,000 people enjoyed seven hours of entertainment.
The event, which included free fall parachute displays, music and dancing, was staged jointly by Aldershot Garrison and Rushmoor Council.
Phil Stoneman, Rushmoor's leisure chief, said: "Everything ran according to plan, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves."
Elsewhere in the Star area people let their hair down at street parties and other special Golden Jubilee events.
The Lions' clubs of Fleet and Hart, with the backing of Hart Council, provided a day of entertainment in Gurkha Square on Monday.
Scores of people attended a 1950s-style street party at the Holy Trinity Church in Windsor Way, Aldershot.
And before breaking up for the half-term, dozens of schools in the area held parties as part of the celebrations.

You can't go two weeks without things getting chaotic in the minor league hockey news cycle. Scotty will touch on the slow death of the Central Hockey League and what it could mean for the two teams that are "taking a year off." The Glens Falls Civic Center is a place no one wants, as no bids were placed at auction; while Casper, Wyoming has a rink ahead of schedule...but no team on the horizon. All that, plus Natalie Wedell's attempt to make the CHL, the AHL scheduling process, and, of course, We Hardly Knew Ye

Operation: Purloin was the codename of a Starfleet Intelligence mission to infiltrate Romulan space and capture a cloaking device.
Starfleet Intelligence began making preparations for the mission in 2267 and assigned the mission to Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise in 2268. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update) Despite the Enterprise being captured by Romulan forces, Kirk successfully stole the cloaking device of Commander Charvanek's vessel and captured the commander herself, with the help of his first officer Commander Spock, before escaping Romulan space. (TOS episode: "The Enterprise Incident")
The cloaking device was publicly tested aboard a Federation ship later that year with a number of dignitaries aboard. The ship and its accompanying observation vessel disappeared. An explosion quickly followed and neither ship was seen again. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update)

Hey guys, i just got my 3rd 24" monitor 1920x1080. I want to do an eyefinity setup. The problem is i got two of my monitors connected via DVI and HDMI, the only ports i have left are my mini display ports. The problem is, my mini display port from vga - mini display only has a resolution of 640x480 for some reason. Is there a way i can make it 1920x1080 so i can do eyefinity? Please help! Thanks! Also i got my monitor connected to my mobo which doesnt let me do eyefinity, so i had to use my mini display direct to the GPU. Sorry if it's confusing thanks!:D:D

Football does funny things to people it, even, makes men cry. You can't put into words the hollow feeling a Liverpool fan feels when losing to Manchester United fan - the feeling is akin to a death in the family.
The transfer season in football is a stressful time for most football fans. Player transfers can generally make or break your team's season, star signings by a manager can generally mean glory for fans and commercial bonanza for teams.
A member of your national team is like the birth of a child in the family. Work stops and strangers come together to celebrate.
Commercial strategies have become more apparent with each transfer season, with team's now focusing on the commercial potential of the Asian fan base. The 'shirt seller' has become an important tool for European football teams.
The 'shirt seller' has become a popular term coined by the big teams in Europe purchasing a player from Asia. Tottenham Hotspurs in the English Premier League recently bought Korean young gun Son Hyung Min into their ranks. Min is Korea's equivalent of Le Bron, the go-to guy on the Korean National team. His acquisition represents a significant commercial boost for Tottenham in Korea.
Partnering your brand with a Korean face like Min can lead to an immediate commercial impact in Asia. Min had previously played with a mid-level team in Germany's Bundesliga. Min's games from Germany were televised on a weekly basis into Korea with a localized commentary and there was the knock-on effect of increased shirt sales and other commercial opportunities with Korean companies looking to expand into the European market.
With Min in the Premier League many would consider him the natural successor to Park Ji Sung, Manchester United's ambassador in Asia. Part of Park's success with United is that Korean's love a winner.
Min's commercial impact in Korea will become significant over the next few months - increased broadcast time in Asia and access to Korean sponsorship. Football teams in Europe are placing greater emphasis on the commercial value of Asian fans with the increased number of pre-season tours in the region.
With Min at Tottenham, Koreans will also be keeping an eye on Lee Seung Woo, the 'Korean Messi' at Barcelona, the next big thing after Min. Korean players have become a window for commercial opportunities into a major Asian economy.

Peckham! I hope we meet again!...we have today, notified our landlord, of our one month notice to leave our rented flat.
It's ok here, but the flat has damp really badly, that just ain't pleasant! and I shall be sooo pleased to say goodbye to these carpets!
It seems likely that we will look for something bigger so maybe we can't stay in Peckham any longer as it has become just too pricey (thank a lot East Dulwich!). Maybe Nunhead, Crofton Park or Brockley are a better deal for renting.
I'm not sure how I will cope without the Montpelier or Petitou, but we must spread our wings I feel. The main problem is finding somewhere that will accept our cat, so it narrows down the search to places with a cat flap! Oh well we have a few weeks, so wish us luck!

What a beautiful picture! Best of luck finding a new place to hang your hat. Also, I was amused to read that apartments in your part of the world have cat flaps! So cute. I wish those were more popular over here.ReplyDelete

These Bed Stu Eva Tan Rustic Boots are a must have this season! Available in Tan Rustic. Detailed with an inside zipper, ankle straps that are removable, and calf expansion zipper creating a great fit. We are excited to offer this Eva style because of the expansion calf zipper located on the back of the boot. This zipper can be unzipped for those who have athletic calves. These boots are constructed of full grain leather in a high-fashion riding boot style, with 1-1/4" heel, and Goodyear welted leather outsole. For spring, wear this with your flirty dresses and push the top down to create a simple boho look.

The hand crafted processes provide visible individual differences in the finishes of each piece, and the true beauty of the BED|STÜ product, like nature, is found in these imperfections. The love for heritage and tradition, authentic time tested shoemaking techniques, and artisan crafted finishes are the foundation for doing things the "BED|STÜ" way.

Which car should I buy between Datsun Redi-Go and Renault Kwid if I am looking at a vehicle under Rs. 3.5lakhs? Also, since it is going to my first car, which will be easier for me to maintain? Finally, is there an extended warranty option for Renault Kwid?
By: Shantanu on 18 july 2016
1 Answers:
The Datsun Redi-Go is a very good vehicle in the price range that you are looking at. Its major rivals are Maruti Alto800, Renault Kwid and Hyundai Eon. The Redi-Go is equipped with a 799cc engine with a fuel efficiency of 25.17kmpl which is very competitive in this price range. The vehicle has an aggressive look due to the large hexagonal grille in the front. The Kwid on the other hand has a tall stance and has a SUV like design. This vehicle gives a sporty look and is becoming a hot seller as well. The Alto 800 and Eon are around the same price and have been in business since many years now. Though these latter vehicles have been sucessful but they have old designs with modest features. Therefore, in my opinion you should go in for the Datsun Redi-Go as it is equipped with a lot of features such as Engine immobilizer, child safety lock, heater, front seat pockets, body coloured bumpers etc. and an engine which is quite promising. The only problem which you can face with the car is its maintenance costs but that is something which you will have to deal with in the Renault Kwid as well.

I paid an advance of Rs. 10,000 for the Datsun Redi-Go on 22nd June, 2016 at Pinnacle Kollan, Kerala and was told that my car will be delivered by 2nd of July. However, this did not happen and I was asked to pay the full amount and only after that my car would be delivered.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Pesticide & Herbicide Application' started by grassmasterswilson, Jun 7, 2013.
we don't even have trugreen where i live. we have the turf doctor.
Tru green, like bad weather, will always be with us! If necessary, they will lawyer up, file chapter 7 and change their name, but they will always be around!
TG sucks around here too...I love seeing them spray in the wind and pouring rain.
Around here they also do lawn mowing, they lowball worse than two drunks on a Murray mower from Walmart and their quality is the worst. The city here is about to fire them.
Posted via Mobile Device
TG Chemlawn and TG Landcare are no longer one and the same, in regards to the mowing comment.
Be happy if you have a national in your market. They pump up the awareness with massive marketing campaigns, creating demand, then they so far oversell/underdeliver that they leave hordes of customers out searching for what was promised. Unauthorized or ghosted apps, burns, jamming everything into a 4 week schedule to get extra apps in at the end of the season, constant telemarketing additional services, etc. etc. should give you plenty of opportunity.
But they still created the demand.
I've heard the drums pounded heralding the demise of Chemlawn and now TG about every other year for the past 25, through disastrous changes of ownership, oddball acquisitions and more. Yet, they're not only still here, they're still number 1. I wouldn't hold your breath on that changing..lol
I agree 100% with this post and think it adds to my first post to this thread. But once again the oversell/underdeliver is a matter of untrained Employees who are under paid or on a commission that causes them to Lie, Cheat and Steal from both the Company and the Customer. How many post here have been a bout TG/CL Ghosting application (invoice without service) to make the daily bonus?? How many posts were about being under cut by TG/CL because the salesman under measures the Property to make the commission??
IMHO TG/CL is top heavy and consider the worker as cheap commodities that can be replaced. I think their Equipment even shows that in the fact it is very Idiot Proof. (BTW I own a former TG/CL Isuzu) Spray techs only need a Driver License and the ability to find an address.
TG/CL does create a demand and they do keep or satisfy a certain group of people. I have run into those people and you have too. They are only concerned that their weeds are some what green and the Price is low. I think in that case I/we over produce quality that the customer never perceives. So yes there is a place for TG/CL current level of service.
This statement caught my eye. Isn't it good to make things as easy for your guys as possible? I try to idiot proof everything -- even for myself. Its so much easier to do all of the "heavy thinking" things at the shop and keep everything KISS simple when I'm on the lawns.
Just announced today. ServiceMaster is "separating" itself from TruGreen. Effective Dec 31. TruGreen is supposed to become a privately held company. Actually probably that best thing for TruGreen and their dwindling customer base. This move may allow them to get back to their roots of the 1980's. TruGreen is estimated to lose approx $30 million this year. ServiceMaster can't make a profit b/c of TG!
It is actually sad to think that True Green might go under. While we have no respect for the Quality of their service, They do provide both a mass advertising and Chemical Lobbying that helps our Industry greatly. Fact is TG is my best salesman, I would hate to lose them.
Just to clarify, TruGreen is not "going unde"r, (i.e. out of business, filing bankruptcy, etc.) ServiceMaster is calling it a "tax-free spin-off" of TruGreen. Making TG a stand alone company. As such, TG will be an independently held private company. As I said earlier, essentially going back to its "roots" before the first time that they were bought-out in 1987 by Waste Management. IMHO that was the beginning of the end of the "Original" TruGreen. Further compounded by the following year of the great drought of 1988!!
As a Stand alone Company TG has a better change of going under. They haven't turn a real profit or paid back years of Losses.

If the rental agency is a SAVRALA member, you know they are legitimate and subscribe to SAVARALA's rules and regulations. You'll also have recourse if you have a dispute with the agency. Go to www.savrala.co.za > Members > Rental Members to check.
2. Keep it simple and save!
Generally, the fewer frills a car has, the cheaper it will be to rent. If it has no air-conditioner or electric windows it will be cheaper than a model that has these features.
3. Read the fine print and understand all the costs
Read all the terms and conditions and ask upfront what other costs may be involved, for example fines, re-fuelling and toll fees. You are liable for all applicable costs, whether you were aware of them or not.
4. Investigate waivers
If your rental car is damaged or stolen, you will have to pay an excess amount to the car rental company. A waiver means that the rental company waives their right to claim from you for losses or damage, reducing the excess you are required to pay. Ask about the various options available to you – it is in your best interest to pay a little more for the best possible option.
5. Inspect the vehicle before you drive away
Inspect the vehicle with an agency representative. Check the wheels for kerb rash and pay special attention to windscreen chips, make a note of all the damage or imperfections that you see –no matter how minor it might be - and make sure that you report them to the car rental agency and get a record of the report prior to leaving with the vehicle. You may be liable for pre-existing damage if you don't!
6. Report any damage or theft you incur immediately
If your rental is damaged or stolen, inform the agency as soon as possible. You may be liable for damages. Remember to read the fine print so you know what you are liable for.
7. Return the car on time
If you return the vehicle late, you may be liable to pay another day's rental and you may even be deemed to be in illegal possession of the car. Some car rental agencies charge a daily rate for every 24-hours that the vehicle is in your possession.
8. Re-fuel the vehicle before you return it
It is a good idea to refuel the vehicle before you return it so that there are no disputes about how much fuel you have used and keep your receipt as proof. By refuelling the vehicle yourself, you avoid incurring a refuelling fee charged by many car rental companies.

Tony Yayo Claims Ghostface Didn't Write Supreme Clientele
Controversy seems to follow G-Unit's Tony Yayo. In an interview with Spin magazine, the Queens native takes shots at Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, claiming, "The streets are different now," Yayo told Spin. "Guys like Ghostface don't mater. They don't. They had a run, but it's over." Yayo's comments were apart of a 50 Cent feature Spin ran on their website. During the interview, the conversation also turned to record sales, artistic merit and Ghostface's classic LP, Supreme Clientele, prompting Yayo to proclaim, "He [Ghostface] didn't even write that album, man. That kid from Far Rockaway — Superb — he wrote that record." 50 Cent, however, was quick to jump in and deflect the attention away from Yayo's comments. "I don't know nothing about any of that," 50 told Spin. "He's the writer. I'm not gonna say he ain't write it."

- 1.71. Our proof of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, Theorem 1.13, used that when \(U\) is a unit vector, \[0 \leq ||V−(U·V)U||^2 = ||V||2 −(U·V)^2\]. Therefore if \(U\) is a unit vector and equality holds, then \(V = (U · V)U\). Show that equality occurs in the Cauchy Schwarz inequality for two arbitrary vectors \(V\) and \(W\) only if one of the vectors is a multiple (perhaps zero) of the other vector.
Answer: In the first case, when \(W=0\), the \(W\) is a multiple of \(V\); In the second case, when \(W\) is nonzero, then consider the unit vector \(U = \frac{W}{||W||}\). Then, by the result in the question, it follows that \(V = (U · V)U\). Therefore:
\[V = (U · V)U = (\frac{W}{||W||}· V)·\frac{W}{||W||}= (\frac{W·V}{||W||^2})·W\] As \((\frac{W·V}{||W||^2})\) is a constant, so \(V\) is a multiple of \(W\).
-2.19. Suppose C is an n by n matrix with orthonormal columns. Use Theorem 2.2 to show that \[||CX|| \leq \sqrt{n} ||X||\] Use the Pythagorean theorem and the result of Problem 2.17 to show that in fact \[||CX|| = ||X||\] for such a matrix.
Answer: (1) First we calculate \(C\). Let \(C_j\) denote the \(j\)th column of C. Since C has orthonormal columns, each \(C_j\) has norm 1. Then \[||C|| = \sqrt{\mathop{\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^n}C_{ij}^2}\] \[=\sqrt{\mathop{\sum_{j=1}^n(\sum_{i=1}^n}C_{ij}^2)}\] \[=\sqrt{\sum_{j=1}^n|| C_j||^2}\] Now by Theorem 2.2, \[||CX|| \leq ||C||||X|| = \sqrt{n}||X||\] as desired. (2)By Problem 2.17, \(CX=x_1C_1 +x_2C_2 +\dots+x_nC_n\). To find the norm of RHS, we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem (we need that C has orthonormal columns) to get \[||x_1 C_1 + x_2 C_2 + \dots + x_n C_n||^2 = ||x_1 C_1||^2 + ||x_2 C_2||^2 + \dots + ||x_n C_n||^2\] Now we can put the pieces together: \[||CX||^2 = ||x_1 C_1 + x_2 C_2 + \dots + x_n C_n||^2\] \[=||x_1 C_1||^2 + ||x_2 C_2||^2+\dots+ ||x_n C_n||^n\] \[=x_1^2||C_1||^2 + x_2^2|| C_2||^2+\dots+ x_n ^2||C_n||^n\] \[=x_1^2 + x_2^2+\dots+ x_n ^2\] \[= ||X||^2\] Since norms are nonnegative, we can conclude that \(||CX|| = ||X||\).
-2.44. Use the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality \[|A · B| \leq||A||||B||\]
to prove: (a) the function \(f (X) = C · X \)is uniformly continuous,
(b) the function \(g(X, Y) = X · Y\) is continuous.
Answer: (a) In case 1, If \(C=0\) then \(f(X)=0\) for all \(X\),so \(|f(X)−f(Y)|=0<ε\) for all \(ε,X,Y\).
In case 2, where \(C=(c1,c2,...,cn)\neq(0,0,...,0)\).
By the definition of f and properties of the dot product, \(|f(X)− f(Y)|=|C·Y−C·Y|=|C·(X−Y)|\).
By the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality we get \[|f(X)− f(Y)|=|C·(X−Y)|\leq||C||||X−Y||\] Let \(ε>0\) and take \(δ=\frac {ε}{||C||}\)
If \(||X−Y||<δ= \frac {ε}{||C||}\) Then we have \(|f(X)− f(Y)|\leq||C||||X−Y||<ε\) for all \(X\) and \(Y\) in \(Rn\). Therefore for any C, f is uniformly continuous.
(b) Fix \(V (A,B)\) in \(R^{2n}\), to show that \(g(V)= g(X,Y)= XY\) is continuous at \((a,b)\)
Given \(\epsilon>0\), we need to find \(\delta>o\) If \(||U-V||=\sqrt {(X-A)^2+(Y-B)^2}<\delta\)
then \(||g(U)-g(V)||=|XY-AB|<\epsilon\)
By the triangle inequality, we know that \[|XY-AB|= |[(X-A)+A][(Y-B)+B]-AB|\] \[=|(X-A)(Y-B)+B(X-A)+A(Y-B)|\] \[\leq||X-A||+||B|| ||X-A||+||A|| ||Y-B||\] If \(\sqrt {(X-A)^2+(Y-B)^2}<\delta\) Then \(||X-A||+||B|| ||X-A||+||A|| ||Y-B||\) \[\leq (1+||A||+||B||)\sqrt {(X-A)^2+(Y-B)^2}\] \[\leq(1+||A||+||B||)\epsilon\] \[\leq(1+||A||+||B||) \frac {\delta}{1+||A||+||B||}\] \[=\delta\] So, given \(\epsilon>0\), set \(\delta= min(1,\frac {\delta}{1+||A||+||B||})\) we have \(\sqrt {(X-A)^2+(Y-B)^2}<\delta\) Therefore, for any \((A,B)\) in \(R^{2n}\), \(g(X, Y) = X · Y\) is continuous.
-2.45. In the triangle inequality \(||A + B|| \leq ||A|| + ||B||\) put \(A = X − Y\) and \(B = Y\). Deduce \(||Y|| − ||X|| \leq ||Y − X||\). Show that if two points are within one unit distance of each other, then the difference of their norms is less than or equal to one.
Answer: Let \(A\) and \(B \)be in \(R_n\). Apply the triangle inequality we have \[||A + B|| \leq ||A|| + ||B||.\] Let\(X=A+B\), \(Y=B\),so \(A=X−Y\). so we have \[||X|| \leq ||X − Y|| + ||Y||, ||X|| − ||Y|| \leq ||X − Y||.\]
Exchange the symbol \(X\) and \(Y\) we get \[||Y|| − ||X|| \leq ||Y − X||.\] So when \(X\) and \(Y\) are within one unit of distance of each other which means \( ||Y − X|| \leq 1\), by the inequality we can conclude \[||Y|| − ||X|| \leq ||Y − X||\leq 1\]
-3.9. Suppose a function \(F\) from \(R_n\) to \(R_m\) is differentiable at \(A\). Justify the following statements that prove \[L_AH = DF(A)H,\] that is, the linear function LA in Definition 3.4 is given by the matrix of partial derivatives\( DF(A).\)
(a) There is a matrix\( C\) such that \(L_A(H) = CH\) for all \(H\).
(b) Denote by \(C_i\) the \(i-th\) row of \(C\). The fraction \[\frac{||F(A+H)−F(A)−L_A(H)||}{||H||} = \frac{||F(A+H)−F(A)−CH||}{||H||}\] tends to zero as \(||H||\) tends to zero if and only if each component \[\frac {f_i(A+H)− f_i(A)−C_iH}{ ||H||}\] tends to zero as \(||H||\) tends to zero.
(c) Set \(H = h e_j\) in the \(i-th \)component of the numerator to show that the partial derivative \(f_{i,x_j} (A)\) exists and is equal to the \((i, j)\) entry of \(C\).
Answer: (a) \(F\) from \(R_n\) to \(R_m\) is differentiable at \(A\). By the definition of differentiability there is a linear function \(L_A(H)\) such that \[\frac{||F(A+H)−F(A)−L_A(H)||}{||H||}\]
tends to \(0\) as \(||H||\) tends to zero.
By Theorem 2.1, every linear function from \(R_n\) to \(R_m\) can be written as \(LA(H)=CH\) for all \(H\), where \(C\) is some \(m × n\) matrix.
(b) The absolute value of each component of a vector is less than or equal to the norm of the vector so for each H and i we have \[0 \leq| f_i(A + H) − f_i(A) − C_i · H| \leq ||F(A + H) − F(A) − CH||\] where \(Ci\) is the \(i-th\) row of \(C\).
Since \[\frac{||F(A+H)−F(A)=LA(H)||}{||H||}\] tends to 0,
by the squeeze theorem, both\(\frac{ | f_i(A+H)− f_i(A)−C_i·H|}{||H|| }\) and\(\frac{ f_i(A+H)− f_i(A)−C_i·H}{||H|| }\)
(c) Let \(H = he_j = (0,0,...,1,0,...,0)\), the 1 in the\( j-th\) place. By part (b), tend to zero as ||H|| tends to zero. \[\lim_{\||H||=|h|\to\ 0 } \frac{f_i(A+he_j)− f_i(A)−hC_i ·e_j}{|h|} =0\]
Therefore \[\lim_{h\to\ 0 } \frac{f_i(A+he_j)− f_i(A)−hC_i ·e_j}{h} =0\]
Since \(C_i · e_j = c_{i j}\) and by the definition of partial derivatives,we have \[\lim_{h\to\ 0 } \frac{f_i(A+he_j)− f_i(A)}{h} = \frac {\partial f_i}{\partial x_j} (A)\]
So we can conclude that \(c_{i j}= c (A) \)
6.14. Justify the following items which prove:
If f is continuous on \(R_2\) and \(\int_{R}f dA = 0\) for all smoothly bounded sets \(R\), then \(\) is identically zero.
(a) If \(f(a,b)=p>0\) then there is a disc \(D\) of radius \(r>0\) centered at \((a,b) \)in which \(f(x,y)> \frac {1}{2}p\)
(b) If f is continuous and \(f(x,y) ≥ p_1 > 0\) on a disk \(R\) then \(\int_{R}f dA \geq p_1(Area(R))\). \(\int_{R}f dA = 0\)for all smoothly bounded regions \(R\), then \(f\) cannot be positive at any point. (d) \(f\) is not negative at any point either. (e) \(f = 0\) at all points.
Answer: First, we can assume that f is continuous on R2 and \(\int_{R}f dA = 0\) for all smoothly bounded sets \(R\)
(a) Because f is continuous at \((a, b)\), by the definition of continuity, there is \(r > 0\) such that for all \((x, y)\) such that\( ||(x, y) − (a, b)|| < r\), we have \(|f(x, y) − f(a, b)| < p/2\).Then we assume p > 0, so \(p − p/2 < f(x,y) < p + p/2\) In particular, \(f (x, y) > p/2\)
(b) As \(R\) is bounded, the closure of \(R\) is closed and bounded. So we can apply the extreme value theorem which means \(f\) is bounded on the closure of \(R\). In particular, \(f\) is bounded on \(R\). \(f\) is also integrable on \(R\); in fact \(\int_{R}f dA = 0\). Apply the lower bound property, \(\int_{R}f dA \geq p_1(Area(R))\) holds.
(c) Suppose \(f\) is positive at \((a, b)\).
From \((a)\), there is a disc \(R \)of nonzero radius on which \( f(x,y) > f(a,b)/2 > 0\).
From (b), \(\int_{R}f dA \geq (f(a,b)/2)·area(R) > 0\) But we assumed that \(\int_{R}f dA = 0\) for all smoothly bounded sets \(R\), it comes to a contradiction. Therefore \(f\) cannot be positive at any point.
(d) As we know that \(−f\) is continuous, and that for all smoothly bounded regions \(R\), by linearity, we have \(−fdA=− fdA=−0=0\) . From(c),we know that \(-f\) cannot be positive at any point. Thus, we conclude that f cannot be negative at any point.
(e) Therefore, for any \((a,b)\), \(f(a,b)\) is defined and is neither positive nor negative, so it must be \(0\).
-6.44. Justify the following steps to prove that if \(f\) is integrable on \(R_2\) and \(g\) is a continuous function with \(0 \leq g \leq f\) then \(g\) is integrable on \(R_2\).
(a) \(\int_{D(n)} g dA\) exsits
(b) \(0 \leq \int_{D(n)} g dA \leq \int_{D(n)} f dA\)
(c) The numbers \(\int_{D(n)} g dA\) are an increasing sequence bounded above.
(d) \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \int_{D(n)} g dA\) exsits
Check \(D : D= R^2\) unbounded, g 0, continuous, so we need to prove \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \int_{D(n)} g dA\) exsits.
(a) \(g \geq 0\) is continuous on \(R_2\) and \(D(n)\) is bounded for each \(n\) so \(g\) is integrable over \(D(n)\)
(b) By theorem 6.9 \(L area(D) \leq I (f, D)\) and the fact 0g, we know that \( 0 area(D)\leq \int_{D(n)} g dA\) so if \( 0 \leq f(x,y)−g(x,y)\) then \[0=0 area(D)\leq \int_{D(n)} f(x,y)-g(x,y) dA \leq \int_{D(n)} f dA - \int_{D(n)} g dA\] Therefore, \(0 \leq \int_{D(n)} g dA \leq \int_{D(n)} f dA\)
(c) Let \(C_n =\int_{D(n)} g dA\). Because \(g \geq 0\), \(D(n) \leq D(n+1)\). Then \(C_1, C_2, C_3...C_n\) is an increasing sequence. Since \(0 \leq \int_{D(n)} g dA \leq \int_{D(n)} f dA\) and \[\lim_{n\to\infty} \int_{D(n)} f dA = \int_{R ^2} f dA\] exists, We got \[\int_{D(n)} g dA \leq \int_{R ^2} f dA\]
(e) By the Monotone Convergence Theorem for sequences, \(\int_{D(n)} g dA\) increasing and bounded above is convergent so \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \int_{D(n)} g dA = \lim_{n\to\infty} C_n\) exists
6.50. Justify steps (a)–(d) to prove that if a continuous function \(f\) is integrable on an unbounded set \(D\) then \(\left| \int_ {D} f dA\right| \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\)
(a)\(\int_ {D} f dA=\int_ {D} f_+ dA - \int_ {D} f_- dA \leq \int_ {D} f_+ dA + \int_ {D} f_- dA =\int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\)
(b)\(\int_ {D} (-f) dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\)
(c)\(- \int_ {D} f dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\)
(d)\(\left| \int_ {D} f dA\right| \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\)
(a) By Definition 6.9, if \(f\) is continuous and integrable on an unbounded set \(D\), then \(| f |\) is integrable on \(D\). Rewrite \(f(x,y) = f_+(x,y)− f_−(x,y)\) where \(f_+(x,y) = f(x,y)\) if \(f(x,y) \geq 0\) and 0 otherwise, and \(f_−(x,y) = −f(x,y)\)if \(f(x,y)\leq 0\) and \(0\) otherwise. So, by the definition of \(\int_ {D} f dA\), \[\int_ {D} f dA=\int_ {D} f_+ dA - \int_ {D} f_- dA\] Since \(\int_ {D} f_- dA\) is nonnegtive \[\int_ {D} f_+ dA - \int_ {D} f_- dA \leq \int_ {D} f_+ dA + \int_ {D} f_- dA\] Since \(f_+ ≥ 0\) and \(f_− ≥ 0\) are integrable over \(D\) \[\int_ {D(n)} f_+ dA + \int_ {D(n)} f_- dA =\int_ {D(n)} (f_+ + f_-) dA\] By the properties of limits of increasing sequence D(n), we know \(\int_ {D(n)} (f_+ + f_-) dA\) converges so \[\int_ {D} f_+ dA + \int_ {D} f_- dA =\int_ {D} (f_+ + f_-) dA\] By the equation \(f(x,y) = f_+(x,y)− f_−(x,y)\), we got \[\int_ {D} f dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\]
(b) In the same way, we apply (a) to the functions − f to get \[\int_ {D} -f dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|-f \right|dA= \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\]
(c)By the properties of limits and the equation \(\int_ {D(n)} -f dA =\)_ D(n) f dA \(, we get\)\(- \int_ {D} f dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\)\( (d)If \)ba\( and\) \(−b\leq a\) then\(|b|\leq a.\) From (a), we got \[\int_ {D} f dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\], From (b) and (c), we got \[- \int_ {D} f dA \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\] Therefore, we can conclude that \[\left| \int_ {D} f dA\right| \leq \int_ {D} \left|f \right|dA\]
-4.21. Find the point on the plane \[z = x − 2y + 3\] that is closest to the origin, by finding where the square of the distance between \((0,0)\) and a point \((x,y)\) of the plane is at a minimum. Use the matrix of second partial derivatives to show that the point is a local minimum.
Let \[D=d^2 = f(x,y)= x^2+y^2+(x-2y+3)^2\], to find the local extrema we let \[\triangledown f = (4x−4y+6,−4x+10y−12)=0\] at \((− 0.5,1).\) so \[H(-0.5,1)= \left[ \begin{array}{ c c } 4 & -4 \\ -4 & 10 \end{array} \right]\] Because 4 > 0 and (4)(10) − (−4)2 = 24 > 0. So by the Theorem 4.3, it is positive definite. By theorem 4.8, If \(\triangledown f (A) = 0\) and the Hessian matrix \([f_{x_i x_j} (A])\) is positive definite at \(A\), then \(f (A)\) is a local minimum. Therefore, \(f\) has a local minimum at point \((-0.5,1)\)
-7.32. Let \(S\) be the unit sphere centered at the origin in \(R^3\). Evaluate the following items, using as little calculation as possible
(a)\(\int_{S} 1 d\sigma\)
(b)\(\int_{S} ||X||^2 d\sigma\)
(c) Verify that \(\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma = \int_{S} x_2^2 d\sigma =\int_{S} x_3^2 d\sigma\) using either a symmetric argument or parametrizations. Can you do this without evaluating them?
(d) Use the result of parts (b) and (c) to deduce the value of \(\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma\)
(a) In geometry, \(\int_{S} 1 d\sigma\) means the area of the unit sphere in \(R ^3\) So \(\int_{S} 1 d\sigma= \pi·1^3 =4\pi\)
(b) For all X S we have \(||X||^2 =1\), therefore \(\int_{S} ||X||^2 d\sigma=\int_{S} 1 d\sigma=4\pi\)
(c) Rotation by /2 about the \(x_3\)-axis corresponds to some transformation on the domain of the parametrization of \(S\). We know that \(x_1\) comes to the same position as \(x_2\), Therefore \(\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma = \int_{S} x_2^2 d\sigma\) In the same way, make a rotation by \(\pi/2\) about the \(x_2\) , we got \(\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma = \int_{S} x_3^2 d\sigma\) Therefore, \(\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma = \int_{S} x_2^2 d\sigma =\int_{S} x_3^2 d\sigma\)
(d) By the definition of norm \(||X||\), we know that \( ||X||=x_1^2 +x_2^2 +x_3^2 \) So, \[\int_{S} ||X||^2 d\sigma= \int_{S} x_1^2 +x_2^2 +x_3^2 d\sigma= 3\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma = 4\pi\] Therefore,\[\int_{S} x_1^2 d\sigma =\frac{1}{3}\int_{S} ||X||^2 d\sigma = \frac{4\pi}{3}\]

NEW YORK – Zimbabwe's election appears, once again, to confirm a truism: Africa only seems to make international headlines when disasters strike – a drought, a coup, a war, a genocide, or, as in the case of Robert Mugabe, grossly incompetent government. But, over the past several years, a number of sub-Saharan countries have attracted unprecedented inflows of foreign capital. Recent global financial turmoil has only added to Africa's allure, because its frontier markets are less vulnerable to international volatility than are most of the world's more familiar emerging economies.
There are three main reasons why many sub-Saharan countries are performing well. First, high commodity prices yield windfall profits for the region's leading producers of raw materials. Growing demand for energy, metals, and minerals – particularly in China – has driven unprecedented levels of foreign investment. Even large pension funds are beginning to take notice. Moreover, a large number of Africa's poorest countries have benefited from exponential growth in (primarily United States-based) philanthropy.
But, while both of these positive trends are likely to continue, a third positive factor may not prove as durable. Every year, Africans living outside the continent send roughly $30 billion to family and friends back home. These remittances are vitally important for economic stability in several African countries. An economic slowdown in the US and Europe could substantially slow this infusion of cash, because immigrants are often the first to lose their jobs when recession fears take hold.
At the same time, though Africa's frontier economies are less vulnerable than other emerging markets to global financial turbulence, they are highly vulnerable to political turmoil closer to home. The three countries that served as pillars of regional stability for the past several years – Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa – are now too pre-occupied with political troubles of their own to provide the peacekeepers, reconstruction funds, and political pressure that often limit the damage from conflicts elsewhere in the region.

I don't like the G-1's keyboard. Normally, I'd automatically prefer a hardware QWERTY keyboard to an on-screen software keyboard (such the iPhone or BlackBerry Bold.) But the G-1's keyboard is too flat, and the keys are too small and close together. A keyboardless G-2 might be better.
A big plus is that the G-1's price has been falling. Despite costing $179 at T-Mobile, I've also seen much lower prices recently at discount retailers like Amazon.com ( AMZN) and Costco ( COST). That usually signals a new model is coming very soon. Google has big plans for the Android OS. Think in terms of a slew of mobile devices -- in all sorts of forms like tablet and mini-notebook computers. Why not? Apple is rumored to be working on similar devices that may run on the iPhone's OS. Google has chosen to follow the Microsoft ( MSFT) route, make the software and get it to other companies that create the hardware. Apple chose the other route. It manages both the hardware and software and doesn't have to "tweak" features to please anyone else. Plus, Windows Mobile software has been around for years, and version 6.5 is about to be released. In the past, there have been cell phones, smartphones and all sorts of small tablets and mini-notebooks that have run Windows Mobile. Microsoft has learned what sells (smartphones) and what doesn't (all the rest). Google will have to figure that out for itself. Who wins? Actually, the consumer does. Smartphones are getting smarter as well as cheaper. And there are more and more devices to choose from. I like the G-1, the only Android phone currently on the market. But the others aren't sitting around waiting to see what happens. Microsoft is busy working on Windows Mobile 7, and Apple is already boasting about what its iPhone 3 will be able to do. Right now, I'd call it a split decision.
