My 15 Surprises for 2014
This year I have reduced the length of the commentary in my surprise list, which got too verbose.
As I did last year, following each surprise, I have included a specific strategy that might be employed in order for an investor to profit from the occurrence of these "possible improbables."
Below are my 15 surprises for 2014 (and five also-rans that didn't make the list).
Surprise No. 1: Slowing global economic growth and fears of stagflation emerge.
At the core of this year's surprise list is that the U.S. economy disappoints (with domestic real GDP growing at +1.75% or less, half the expected rate offered by the consensus) relative to consensus expectations. Many (e.g., Harvard's Martin Feldstein) are worried about the economy overheating, but global growth also fails to meet forecasts (and is only +2.5% against consensus forecasts of +3.6%+).
The case for slowing growth is not necessarily quartered and dependent on rising interest rates. Rather, central to my surprise is a "spent-up not pent-up" consumer whose fragility may be exposed and an uptick in economic inequality as trickle-down policy grows increasingly ineffective.
The recent rise in unemployment claims, higher gas prices, slowing population growth, the higher costs of health care, slowing retail sales and a pause in domestic automobile and housing activity likely presage that slowing growth is in store for 2014.
U.S. real GDP growth is under 2%, and worldwide growth is under 3%, making the difference between anemic growth and recession increasingly one of semantics. (Note: The U.S. stock market has a forward P/E ratio of nearly 17 with a 2% real GDP growth rate, while China has a forward P/E ratio of about 7.5x with a 7% real GDP growth rate.)
The Fed's tapering will be put on hold in response to slowing growth, and some within the Fed, including Whirlybird Janet Yellen, argue for increased levels of quantitative easing. Half the Fed members are reluctant to add "more cowbell," however, so there is no additional QE and the new Fed Chair's more aggressive monetary policy views are repudiated.
Pressure is placed on both parties in Washington, D.C., to introduce more radical and aggressive fiscal policies in order to stimulate domestic economic growth by year-end.
Major droughts in the U.S., Brazil and Russia have a knock-off impact on much higher commodity and food prices, experiencing a greater-than-5% rise in 2014 (negatively impacting the consumer's purchasing power).
The drought brings on stagflation concerns. Other supply disruptions fuel some cost-push commodity price inflation even though economic growth is weak relative to expectations.
The risk of an exogenous shock expands, and further downgrades of global growth could put the U.S. and Europe in a deflationary headlock, finding both regions in a light liquidity trap.
Even though interest rates grind a bit higher in early 2014, the rise is mild, and the yield on the 10-year U.S. note spends most of the year between 2.5% and 3.0%.
Surprisingly (with a stable rate picture), the housing market is further disrupted. Mortgage rate and home price sensitivity are underestimated, as double-digit home price increases in 2013 dwarf modest rises in incomes. As a result, affordability suffers, and real buyers are priced out of the market. Traffic and orders drop off as the year proceeds. The accumulation of homes to rent by new-era buyers (hedge funds, private equity, etc.) precipitates further weakness in the U.S. housing market -- indigestion in the rental markets develops, as there is an inability to absorb the units. By the second half of 2014, year-over-year home prices turn mildly negative.
A new homebuyer tax credit is considered in late 2014 in order to stimulate residential real estate markets.
Refinancings evaporate, serving to put pressure on household cash flow and personal consumption expenditures. The unemployment rate remains sticky (hanging around 7%), and consumer confidence falls.
The expected recovery in capital spending fails to materialize in 2014.
Companies slow down their share repurchase programs (which buoyed EPS last year), balking at higher stock prices and recognizing that the economics of debt offerings to fund repurchases are less compelling from an ROI standpoint than they were in 2013.
Strategy: Buy index puts, sell index calls, or purchase inverse ETFs.

Piazza A Score For Philadelphia
"Blatstein's newest development, The Piazza at Schmidt's, on Second Street in Northern Liberties, really is modeled on the Piazza Navona, and it really does include a vast public square, paved in the exact same scallop pattern as the one in Rome.
The evidence might lead to the assumption that The Piazza is a cheap, cringe-worthy theme park. In reality, The Piazza, which opens this weekend, is anything but. Actually, it's pretty wonderful.
Eight years and $100 million in the making, Blatstein's Piazza is a massive, right-brain assemblage of apartments, offices, shops, and restaurants, all set around a one-acre plaza, and cleverly linked into his earlier Liberties Walk development. Maybe because the expanding territory of Bartistan ignored so many real estate conventions, The Piazza accomplishes something rarely seen in new American developments: It feels like a real place.
Of course, no one would ever confuse the project, which occupies the southern portion of what was once the mighty Schmidt's Brewery, with Rome's glorious Baroque gathering place, with its famous Bernini fountain and larger dimensions, 2.8 acres.
But does the Piazza Navona have a 40-foot, Daktoniks LED television beaming down every Phillies game, along with movie classics on Saturday nights? How about a sound stage for rock concerts? Or a diner inspired by Blatstein's childhood memories of road-trip pit stops at Howard Johnson?"

Ten months ago, amidst the recriminations of the LuxLeaks scandal, the prospect of Jean-Claude Juncker appearing before a European Parliament inquiry into whether the European Commission president acted improperly while Luxembourg's premier may have seemed to promise high political theatre.
In the event, however, Juncker's testimony on Thursday before MEPs probing hundreds of sweetheart tax deals handed down to multinational companies in Luxembourg during his 18-year tenure as the country's prime minister was anything but.
It featured a round of applause for his opening statement, plenty of softball questions, and the sight of Juncker ducking out before the end, citing an overrunning timetable and other commitments. Pierre Moscovici, the political savvy EU commissioner in charge of tax policy, was left to field the second and last round of questions. Read more

Toms River Board Of Education Changes Lawyers
For over 20 years, Toms River's Board Of Education was represented by the lawfirm of Gilmore and Monahan. Well, not anymore.
The Patch of Toms River says the "Clean Slate" board members voted 6 – 2 to go with Carlucio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle and Sacks instead. A majority of the board wanted to cut ties with the last leftover from the Mike Ritacco reign.
Members Tom Baxter and Edward Gearity cast votes against the change. Gearity expressed concern that "Unfortunately (Carlucio, Leone, Dimon, Doyle and Sacks) have no experience in the last eight or 10 years as school board attorneys or in special education law," he said according to the Patch of Toms River.

Hatboro, PA 19040-2917
At age 40 I weighed 215 lbs. I could no longer play the sports I loved. I was very unhappy and unhealthy. I began taking step classes, lifting weights and eating sensibly. I lost weight! Two years later I was certified as a trainer and began helping others reach their goals. If you are ready to make the committment, I am ready to help you achieve success!!

Brisbane ratepayers will face a 3.8 per cent rate rise – about $45 a household each year – from July 1, as Brisbane City Council's contribution to the city's third major tunnel project, Legacy Way, pushes debt up to $2.4 billion.
Brisbane Lord Mayor
But there was no update on the impending deal between the
The bulk of the council debt relates to the toll-road tunnel from Brisbane's western suburbs to the Inner City Bypass, which is being built and funded by the council with a $500 million contribution from the federal government.
Ratepayers will pour $317 million into the project in its $2.9 billion budget for 2013-14. Despite speculation the deal over the sale of the tolling rights for Legacy Way and the Go Between Bridge might fall over ahead of the June 30 deadline, QML chief executive Brendan Bourke said there had been "substantial progress" in recent weeks.
Mr Bourke said the deal – which would involve QML taking over the tolling rights to the new road and then paying council if it exceeded traffic forecasts – was in the final stages of negotiation, but might not be signed until after June 30.
"We're optimistic we'll come to a satisfactory arrangement and get the deal done," Mr Bourke told The Australian Financial Review.
Mr Bourke confirmed the Brisbane City Council would keep the tunnel's traffic risk, which council estimates would receive 24,000 vehicles, down on the forecasts for Brisbane's
"If there is more traffic than envisaged, then they'll benefit from that."
QML control
QML, which did its own traffic modelling for Legacy Way, already controls the Gateway and Logan Motorways in Brisbane and has been mooted as potential buyers of the Clem Jones and Airport Link tunnels.
If successful the state-owned body would control all of Brisbane's toll roads.
The QML deal, which would also involve tolling rights on the Go Between bridge, would allow Brisbane City Council to allocate $268 million in the forward budget estimates for the Kingsford Smith Drive upgrade.
The budget for Australia's largest council also included $60 million to resurface 177 roads across the city, $43 million to maintain assets such as bridges, $20.9 million for local traffic improvements and $44.5 million for new and upgraded parks city-wide. Councillor Quirk defended the 3.8 per cent rate rise, which is well above 2.1 per cent inflation.
"This budget delivers responsible financial management and restraint to ensure Brisbane's economic future remains strong," he said.
"This council has constructed a massive infrastructure program that has delivered an undisputed reduction in traffic congestion across Brisbane.
"Our credit outlook has been upgraded in each of the last two financial years and our budgeting position is strong. I will continue to ensure that this council lives within its means".
"Under the LNP, at a state and council level, you are paying more and getting less," he said.

Final Report - 2013-028-DLD - Review and update harvest strategy settings for the Commonwealth small pelagic fishery
This study undertook ecosystem and population modelling to evaluate and provide advice on the reference points (e.g. biomass depletion levels) and settings (e.g. exploitation rates) for the four main target species in the harvest strategy of the Commonwealth Small Pelagic Fishery (SPF) – Jack Mackerel, Trachurus declivis, Redbait Emmelichthys nitidus, Blue Mackerel Scomber australasicus and Australian Sardine Sardinops sagax.
The study used a new variant of the Atlantis ecosystem model (Atlantis-SPF). The model found that both singly and in combination, depleting these target species has only minor impacts on other parts of the ecosystem. Unlike some other regions which show higher levels of dependence on similar species, such as in Peru and the Benguela systems (Smith et al., 2011), the food web in southern and eastern Australia does not appear to be highly dependent on SPF target species. None of the key higher trophic level predators in SE Australia, such as seals, penguins and tunas, have a high dietary dependence on these species. Studies using other ecosystem models such as Ecosim in the same region have reached similar conclusions (Goldsworthy et al., 2013; Bulman et al., 2011).
The findings have implications for the target and limit reference points that should be selected for the main commercial species in the SPF. Equilibrium BMSY for these species ranged from about 30 to 35% of unfished levels. However, these levels are uncertain and it may be more appropriate to use the default values from the HSP with BMSY set at B40 (40% of unfished levels) and the default BMEY set at 1.2 times this level, close to B50. This study suggests that the target reference point for these SPF target species should be set at B50 and the limit reference point at B20, in line with the HSP default settings. The results presented in this report, combined with evidence from other studies, suggest that these levels are safe from an ecosystem perspective and provide reasonable levels of yield relative to MSY.

Bored too fast sorry maybe next time...
It says it all above ^
i got bored kinda fast...
it was fun for a while, but kinda repetetive and i lost me interest pretty fast. I guess there really isn't room for much more variation though. Overall a good game.
great but...
make a free ride function where the people keep spawning and i keep driving.
great game, super fun an cool, but one thing...
It's super fun to slide around and get kills using cool maneuvers and stuff, I love slide explosions! The only complaint I have is that you can't turn off the music, not that it's bad music but I like to listen to my own music when playing games so I can't when the music is in the background. Also one final suggestion would be to add more types of kills, like when you slam them into a house or something. Other than that the game is superb and top notch and great. Keep it up, also I love the top comic thing on your user-page, I show it to all my friends, they love it. Keep up the great work dude!

F5521GW WWAN install on Windows 8 CP (Lenovo X220t)
I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to the CP of Windows 8 and was surprised how well everything seemed to work. I was however having some battery life issues so decided to do a fresh install to make sure it wasn't some driver weirdness left over from Win7.
After downloading and install drivers for all my system devices i was a bit disappointed to find that the 3G card's (Ericsson F5521GW in my X220T) driver had installed correctly but that Windows 8 did not want to treat it as a broadband connection device. I could manually start the "WWAN configuration service" and then from a command line if I ran "netsh mbn show interface" I'd just get a message back saying "There is no Mobile Broadband interface". Not great.
I knew the card worked fine in Windows 8 because it had functioned correctly before I did the re-install and if I installed the Lenovo access connection software I could make it connect to the internet but I wanted to uses the built in Windows 8 connection logic (MS have done some pretty cool things to support 3G connections in Windows 8). After some playing about I figured out how to install the driver correctly so thought I'd share…
Uninstall all other WWAN / mobile broadband drivers
From "uninstall programs" make sure you remove any previous broadband drivers & if needs be open Device Manager and uninstall the broadband device components. When your done you should see something like this:
Download latest drivers
Next go to the Lenovo download site and get the latest WWAN card drivers – even though these are listed as "Windows 8" compatible they aren't quite…
Lenovo Windows 8 beta driver site
Download and save the WWAN driver (83wo14ww.zip 22.214.171.124) – Do not run it straight away!
Compatibility trick
Navigate to the folder where you saved the driver zip file and extract them.
Now open the "driver" subfolder and bring up the properties for "setup"
under the compatibility tab open "Change settings for all users" and set "Run this program" as "Windows 7" then apply
Now run a command prompt and navigate to the folder path for that Setup.exe file (make sure you get to the one in the "driver" subfolder, not the one in the level above!)
Now type in "setup.exe /wNOAUTOSENSING /wUSELASTKNOWNRADIOSTATE" and hit enter to start the installer
You might get the following security prompt:
Just hit "more info" and then "Run anyway"
You'll then get a prompt for elevating the setup & click next and choose the default options unless you really want to store the files elsewhere
When it's finished you should have the following devices listed in device manager:
- Ports
- F5521gw Mobile Broadband Device Management
- F5521gw Mobile Broadband GPS Port
- Smart card Readers
- F5521gw Mobile Broadband USIM Port
- USB controllers
- F5521gw Mobile Broadband Device
And if you click on the "connect to network" icon you should now see your 3G provider listed..! (My connections show as limited because I was on a VPN at the time!)
That was the last of the drivers I had problems installing on Windows 8 and everything now seems fairly happy and well behaved (with no missing drivers or unknown devices). If it's of interest I could post a guide for doing a clean install but that would mean starting over. Let you know if there's interest below. Happy Windows 8'ing
Correction: meant to say 'Mobile broadband was the only thing that didnt work till I followed the steps in this blog..' 🙂
27 June 2013, still no fix but your workaround is perfect!! cheers mate!!
The workaround works very well but why the hell doesn't lenovo offer "stable" drivers?
Windows 8 is out for MONTHS!
Thank you very much !! This helped me straigtforward and was the best description I could found.
Please test this drivers: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029034
Install Ericsson H5321gw Wireless WAN Firmware first.
Then install newest driver normally.
works for me… E330, win8 pro.
You are a lifesaver! Thank you for this excellent guide.
perfectly working.
1 comment, i had to take the "wrong" complete installation once before it works. (installed all the lenovo updates, drivers, etc. and only then removed the Mobile driver to successfully apply this solution. now 100% up and running)
Thx a lot for this!
I really suffered a lot with tethering – running out of battery on my mobile and so on!
Thx – Thx – Thx
Thank you so much for writing up these instructions. I've just done a clean Windows 8.1 install on a Lenovo X220 i7 and there doesn't appear to be any newer driver (i.e. no Win 8 version) than the one you suggest (188.8.131.52 30 Oct 2011) so I followed your guide and my WWAN seems to be working fine. So thanks very much indeed!
Work with Windows 8.1… Thanks!
Thanks, this worked perfectly in Windows 8.1 with lenovo t430s
Great. Thanks. Works +++
Encore un poste sincèrement captivant
One more "Thank you !!"
Thank you. Awesome, this works!
Lenovo x220 F5521gw
Windows 10 build 9860
not working ;-(
This worked for me too. Thank You

Nope didn't work for me. Says "The specified program requires a newer version of windows".
Lenovo Thinkpad X230, Windows 8.1.
This workaround worked for me!
(by installing the Windows _7_ drivers in compatibility mode)
So, thank you very much for sharing this trick! It really made my day! Thanks! 🙂

April 21st, 2014 (VOA) Many studies have shown that eating too much red meat is bad for your health; but, a new study has found that eating processed meat significantly increases the risk of colorectal cancer in some people.
Eating five or more servings per week of processed meat more than doubles the risk of colorectal cancer in people who have certain variants of a specific gene, according to Jane Figueiredo of the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. Colorectal cancer is a leading form of cancer disease and death worldwide.
The findings are based on a meta-analysis of 10 earlier studies involving 18,000 people in the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe, which looked at the health effects of eating meats that contain nitrates as preservatives.
"It's anything that is cured, dried, smoked, cooked [or] packaged. And so the most common items around the countries we were studying would include bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausages, pate, cold cuts," said Figueiredo.
The scientists compared the blood samples of some 9,000 people with colorectal cancer to 9,000 people without the disease, looking at one particular region of the genome. Colorectal cancer is a complex illness with some 30 genetic variations tied to an increased risk of developing it.
The researchers found the people with two of the genetic variants that were the focus of the study, and who ate processed meats almost every day, had the highest risk for colorectal cancer.
Figueiredo says the potentially harmful alleles – or changes in a specific gene – are extremely common.
"It happens in one in three individuals; that these individuals are actually at even at higher risk of the carcinogenic effects in processed meat," she said.
Does that mean that people with two copies of the genetic variants can eat more bacon and ham than those at the highest cancer risk?
"People have asked me that and I think that we should also limit our consumption of processed meat. It still more modestly increases risk at least in individuals that don't have this variant allele. But it still is a small effect. It's just a much larger effect in individuals that carry certain genetic changes," said Figueiredo.
Her team systematically sifted through millions of genetic variants of the study participants, identifying those that are associated with the effects of meat, fiber, fruit and vegetable consumption. Figueiredo says the investigation is the first to look at whether genes modify the impact of food on health.
The study by Jane Figueiredo and colleagues is published in the journal PLoS Genetics.

Very Garlicky Chilli Pasta
This is really meant for people who do hot, as in spicy.
If you cut the heat down, it's not quite the same. Pecorino can be finely greated in a mini-chopper
This recipe is from Delia's How To Cheat at Cooking Serves 2
- method
- Ingredients
First of all fill a large pan with warm water, add some salt and put it on the heat to bring it up to the boil.
While that's happening put the onion into a mini-chopper and pulse till it is chopped small but not too finely. Now heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan, add the onion and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile add the garlic and jalapeno pieces to the mini-chopper and give them a few bursts before adding the roasted peppers to chop them with four to six more pulses (be careful not to chop them too finely).
Now add the pasta to the boiling water and put the timer on for 10 minutes. Add the chopped peppers, garlic and jalapeno to the onions in the pan, and continue to cook for a further 3 minutes. When the pasta is ready, drain it in a colander then return it to the pan and stir in the onion mixture to get everything evenly distributed.
Divide the pasta between two warmed serving bowls, and serve it absolutely immediately with the basil scattered over and lots of grated pecorino to sprinkle on.

KME and Math Club
Kappa Mu Epsilon
Kappa Mu Epsilon is a national mathematics fraternity designed to appeal essentially to undergraduate students. It was founded by Dr. Emily Wyant, a graduate of the University of Missouri, working closely with Professor L.P. Woods, head of the Department of Mathematics at Northeastern Oklahoma State Teachers College.
KME's motto is "Develop an appreciation for the beauty of mathematics." The objective of the organization since its inception has been the fulfillment of this motto. Official business of Kappa Mu Epsilon is transacted at national conventions by delegates elected by each chapter and by members of KME's National Council. The convention is held in the spring every two years during odd numbered years, and as well as conducting regular business, the conventions are an opportunity for the presentation of student papers.
Kappa Mu Epsilon's five-fold objectives are:
- To further the interests of mathematics in those schools which place their primary emphasis on the undergraduate programs
- To help the undergraduate realize the important role that mathematics has played in the development of western civilization
- To develop an appreciation of the power and beauty possessed by mathematics, due, mainly, to its demand for logical and rigorous modes of thought
- To provide a society for the recognition of outstanding achievement in the study of mathematics at the undergraduate level
- To disseminate the knowledge of mathematics and to familiarize the members with the advances being made in mathematics
The Pentagon is the official journal of the Society. It is published semiannually in the spring and fall of each year. Articles of interest to undergraduate mathematics students are included, as are news items about various chapters, and a problems section.
For more information, please see the KME National Mathematics Honor Society Home Page, or contact Jonathan Shapiro, Cal Poly's KME Advisor.
Math Club
The Math Club is a social club comprised of Math majors, minors, and any others who wish to participate. Meetings are held approximately every two weeks. Club members have access to the Math Lounge, which was remodeled in 2002 and received new computers in 2009 solely funded by the College Based Fee. The Club designs a T-shirt each year that is then printed and sold at the quarterly book sale or by contacting the Math Club. Funds raised from the book sale pay for the annual End-of-Year trip attended by Math Club members. For more information or to contact the Math Club please email them at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit their website here.

After returning from our long luxurious six-week winter break, we were greeted with an unwelcome surprise known as the Polar Vortex. As it passed over the Southeast, a bitter chill settled over our lovely town of Savannah — a coldness that we are normally not accustomed to in the slightest. This cold was especially surprising for me coming from 70-degree and sunny Los Angeles. But, as art students always have a knack for doing, we adjusted accordingly. While we braved the weather, we were still able to hold onto our personal sense of style.
Even though I'm a girl, I have a distinct appreciation for men's fashion. And I adore how in this outfit, this Fashionisto integrates his love of muted colors and interesting patterns. Not only that, but he effortlessly incorporates his personal style of vintage Goodwill finds and new purchases together. I personally love cruising the racks at Goodwill to find pieces you can blend into current fashions.
A well-known fact about keeping warm is layering. Here, for his button-up T-shirt and sweater combo, this Fashionisto mixes and matches two similar-colored pieces with different patterns in a perfectly harmonious way. Look for unique pieces that are not only fun, but also functional for a cold day out when you're walking to class.
Although he bought both pieces vintage, a classic printed sweater is a staple to any wardrobe as it is cozy and warm. You can easily find one like his at Urban Outfitters or ASOS. A subtle marbled beanie, such as this one from PacSun, adds a hint of texture and practicality to your ensemble. Top your outfit with a pair of vintage-stye tortoise shell readers and you'll look smart. And, even more importantly, you'll be warm!
Take that, Polar Vortex.

Cameron St. Jamais
Sarna News
Cameron St. Jamais (b. 3027[1] - d. 3???) was the second Precentor Martial of the Word of Blake Militia, and as head of the Toyama Sect a member of the Ruling Conclave of the Word of Blake during the Jihad era. Even before the Jihad began, he was already secretly serving the Master. During his time as Precentor Martial, he was also in direct command of the Mars colonies.
Little is known about St. Jamais's early life and service in ComStar save that he served in ROM's fearsome Blake's Wraith. [1]
Defecting to the Word of Blake in the wake of the ComStar Schism, the fanatical St. Jamais rose rapidly through the Blakist ranks, aided by his close friendship with Demona Aziz, suspected even to engage in a romantic relationship during the group's early days on Gibson. Taking her place as leader of the extremist Toyama Sect in the wake of her unexpected death, St. Jamais would further rise to the rank of Precentor Martial after the assassination of Trent Arian.[1]
On the 30th of April 3078 it was revealed by Colonel Marcel Webb - Commanding Officer of the Star Seeds mercenary unit and head of security for the allied coalition - in a news broadcast from Kittery that the allied coalition was filing criminal charges on behalf of all the allied nations against a number of senior Word of Blake senior or high profile figures, including Cameron St. Jamais. The coalition intended to charge St. Jamais with terrorism, murder and genocide.[2]
St. Jamais was a feared Awesome pilot. [3]

Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green are still f-cking
Now that Transformers had its premiere stateside, Megan Fox can stop pretending she isn't having sex with Brian Austin Green. Here's the two of them getting coffee yesterday morning, and I'm pretty sure I'd be grinning like a fool, too, if I was in this bastard's shoes. How he's not spiking a football and ordering a cup of "Fuck yeah, I banged Megan Fox!" is beyond me. Whatever happened to chivalry, dammit?

Has anyone been left by their (Ex)H, to bring up their DCs alone, and actually years later realised they are glad that he went?(251 Posts)
That's it really.
After a couple of years on MN, I am realising that he might have done me a favour.
He was different towards me after we got married. (DD was just a few months old.) He encouraged me to drop my career. He had at least two affairs, one when I was 7 months pregnant with DS who was born prematurely. ExH is a fucking knob.
He told me he was leaving me as he was sitting on the sofa, and I said 'Pack a bag and go.' He did and has behaved ever since like I threw him out. (He went to OW #2.)
Yet he hates me.
I was meant to beg him to stay, right?
Otherwise I cannot make sense of the ten years of utter hatred he has expressed towards me, through at least five girlfriends/partners, that frankly I am now sick of, as the DCs have turned 15 and 17.
<have wanted to post this for ages.>
And many thanks once again to everyone who has posted on this thread. It has been incredibly helpful, going through a fairly difficult time of late, and I am going to read it right through again over the weekend. Thanks all
Crikey, Ezza, did the Exes go to the same Twat School?
ExH was hoping for delinquents to prove my supposed inadequacies and failings
My ExH referred to his own, lovely children as 'messed up' in one of his ridiculous contact hearings.
Wow indeed.
Wow. Before reading through this thread I really thought I was alone in all the shite my exH has spouted over the last 12 years. I thought I had a unique, embittered twat of an exH but I have been enlightened!
Last day sex - check. (he told me he had sex with me to make me feel less ugly...pleasant)
Rewriting the past - check. I've been like this over the years when the DCs have been recounting certain things their dad has told them.
Total bitching about me to anyone (including the DCs) about everything - check.
Threats of custody/social services - check.
The DCs are 15 and 12 now. ExH still kicks up a fuss about nothing every now and then.
I moved on the minute he moved out and in with the OW. He thoroughly dislikes that.
I've brought the DCs up single handedly. DCs are intelligent, thoughtful, kind, mature and altogether lovely children. I have a wonderful, close relationship with them both. ExH was hoping for delinquents to prove my supposed inadequacies and failings. He was also hoping to make them hate me with his bullshit. I've proved him wrong and he is seething.
I'm in a long term relationship, have another child and another on the way. Thats wrong too - "stupid cow, how could she do that in the middle of your GCSEs" (said to DC1)
Wow again!
Thanks for the suggestions. Police involved once, long ago, regarding me not dd. Don't want dd to be in that position, but the day might come.
You know, Nickname, there came a point in my dealings with ExH where he went too far and one day I simply called the police.
Jamie, aiming for happy!
Dear Linerunner
You are so wise and expressive on here.
He, OTOH, is not. No insight.
It's a shame for him really - yours will be the happier life, and the more giving.
You might have a look at Rights of Women (they have a family law advice line) and Maypole too.
Women's Aid may also be helpful with advice?
Thanks, both. themidwife, the judge outright refused a CAFCASS referral, on the basis that ss had already looked at the situation and hadn't found a safeguarding issue. My sol reckons that it's a three line whip on judges not to make CAFCASS referrals in anything other than the most severe case, as they are so overstretched. I hadn't thought of the children's centre - good idea, thanks.
Spero, "shrug and move on" is just what it feels like. I raised it with the mediator, and it was discussed (he of course denied it and said it was all me, blah blah) and we will have an outcome statement that says we both disavow the use of physical punishment. I don't know if it will make much difference - maybe he'll think twice.
Nobody to do handovers - neither of us have family in the area. I don't have friends who could do it. Most of our handovers are via school, and I'm going to try to get the last remaining direct one switched to school.
Mediation now officially over so looks like it will be a full court hearing.
Nickname, I am sorry to hear that. Handovers sound horrendous. I would definitely raise this with the mediator. This is emotional abuse, it is awful that she has to feel she needs to act this way and it must be hard for you to endure.
Is there anyway handovers can be carried out by someone else, at least for a while? The problem is that SS are unlikely to have energy or resources to help you as the thresholds for their interventions are pretty high and if they see a little girl who seems happy to be with her dad they will probably just shrug and move on.
Nickname - as your DD is still 5 go & talk to the Senior Family Support Worker/Manager at your nearest children's centre. I'm sure they will have advice about who can help you. You can request a CAFCASS referral so they can advise & support you through this too.
Question - if your dc came home and said daddy was hitting them, what would you do?
My dd is 5, and says her father slaps her on the face and squeezes her wrist. I went to the GP and ask for a ss referral before Christmas last year. The sw interviewed dd and then ex, and said "Well, he denies it and they look fine together". My ex has a history of making malicious accusations against me, and it seems to be written off as tit for tat.
We have a mediation session today (court-ordered, because the bloody sw reported that the only problem is our lack of communication), and I'm going to raise it there (and frankly, I would be very happy if the mediator decided independently it was a child protection issue and flagged it herself). I can ask the school if they have a safeguarding person who might talk to dd.
I can't just stop contact - exH has made loads of false allegations that I block contact and is trying to be made residential parent on that basis. I really need ss behind me, but it feels like the only way to get them behind me (or rather dd) is for someone else to flag their concerns, because mine don't seem to be taken seriously.
What else can I do?
comingintomyown, He sounds extremely manipulative. I think you are definitely better off without that in your life.
Alone with two teens is bloody hard though. But it would be harder with a master of manipulation in the house, I'm pretty sure.
My DS is currently very sad that he thinks his dad's a prick, and it seems to be hurting everyone except his dad, who doesn't seem to think it's his problem. Apparently if the ExH can blame me for every emotion ever felt by any member of the human race, that makes his life feel ok.
Sorry to hear that but you are right its more the grief at the end of the dream of a family life etc
Reading these posts has cheered me up this morning and given me a much needed reminder of how our life really was as I have been a bit blue these past few days. I have been single since we split 3 1/2 years ago and feeling the stress of bringing up my 2 teens on my own.
My DD is 14 and doesnt want to spend time at her Dads. Long story short she says hes "Dad" until OW walks in the room and then becomes completely different and she doesnt like that man. I suppose I bought into XHs own PR about how his DC were his life and always come first blah blah when actually its clear OW and her extensive needs come first. It gives me no pleasure though that DD thinks her Dad is a prick as I know how much my own non relationship with my Dad screwed me up.
So much of what has been said rings a bell particularly the early years when he seemed so angry and bitter and it went from him telling people we mutually agreed to split to a year on that I drove him out. Actually what happened was he told me he didnt love me , didnt see any point trying to fix things and then moved out and started a relationship with OW. I too wondered why he wasnt in seventh heaven having got away from me his shit wife to be with his new soul mate who had got him through a dark place. I agree with whoever said he just couldnt cope with the responsibility of leaving his DC and so by concocting this new version of events he could abnegate that responsibility.
I have to get ready for work now but heres a quick addition to the last shag stories. Whilst in the middle of said act (I did know he was leaving) he said to me "Heres a souvenir for you" . Enough said.
Just marking my place to read this later
I am sorry to hear that. It is tough.
I don't know if it is any consolation, but I think the real grief comes through the loss of the hope and the ideal of the 'lovely family' and the 'nice man'.
i knew what I had wasn't real but I was so desparate to hope it would be so. So when its gone, there is a risk you berate yourself for being stupid to not do anything sooner.
But I hope you can feel less alone reading this, I don't think anyone on this thread comes accross as some stupid, boring person who deserved to be treated like shit. On the contrary, it looks like there are a lot of narcissistic, self absorbed, unreflecting idiots out there and far too many good women have wasted far too much of their precious time trying to pander to their egos.
I hope it is onwards and upwards for you.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I agree Fengirl - reply "thanks, I worked very hard to get her to this stage & it's great that you recognise that". Ha ha take that twunt!!
fengirl, You could perhaps simply reply, 'Yes. Thank you for the compliment.
You must feel so adrift at times like this.'
50Shades, I think receiving powerpoint presentations from your Ex must be up there in the top ten wankinesses!
Yes, Nickname, I think it's very important that handovers become extremely dull.
You know, I think my ExH does feel a sense of humiliation for what he's done, and for how, deep down, he knows that many people see him. It's just a shame that he doesn't blame himself for his own actions, but blames me. So weak. I guess the creation of drama helps them keep up the froth of blame - like Spero says, it's all about what feels good to them.
I'm really encouraged by the posts about older dcs seeing through their (wanker) fathers. DD is 5 and finds it confusing. Her father tries to implant false memories eg. that she was unhappy with the new nursery when I left him and changed her nursery.
During our few direct handovers (most are indirect, through school) she clings to him, refusing to leave him, saying she wants to stay with him, and is very aggressive towards me. I have a bruise on my arm where she bit me, to his unconcealed pleasure. Once he is out of sight, she is fine again, and she has told me that she feels she has to behave in that way to please him.
I'm trying to change the arrangements to avoid the one direct handover we have every two weeks. I find it awful that his ego feeds of her distress during these scenes. He doesn't want to make things as easy as possible for her - he wants to be the central figure in the drama.
I think that explains a lot of the rage felt by exes described on the thread - when you move on, he's not the central figure of the drama, he's not Hamlet, and he cannot bear the humiliation of being reduced to a bit-player in your life.
Dd2 has had a parent's evening tonight.... As it's not local, we ( me and ex) take it in turns to go. Bit of background - she has severe visual impairment, registered blind. She had various assessments when small and I was told she is exceptionally bright...
Various texts going back and forth and then this: 'I remember my father always saying she would surprise us. He was right.' I feel very tempted to reply 'Yes, she is a credit to her mother'! (Who spent hours and hours when she was little encouraging and helping her to make the best use of her sight that she could, referred her to the visual impairment service herself and took her to all of her hospital appointments (bar two) alone....) Grrrr... There's always a way to take the credit isn't there? Quietly seething here whilst also considering telling him he's a pompous prat.
Omg! So many of these posts ring true to my ex.
Ex left us for OW in Jan after gaslighting and being EA. ds1 (12) and I sussed out the affair in September but he didn't leave until New Years.
Ex is mad at ds1 and me for exposing the affair to ds2 and dd and throwing him out. Apparently his relationship with OW is boring because its not a secret anymore and I've told her a few home truths like we sleep together at least 3 times a week where as he told her we hadn't shagged in years- lol. He is confused why ds1 doesn't want to see him any more and telling people that I've poisoned his mind. Ex has cancelled the direct debit for ds1's pocket money in an attempt to bribe ds1 to comply but I have simply given ds1 enough self confidence to tell ex to fuck off and given him money myself.
He thinks he's a hero as he's paying maintenance and living in a Travelodge (OW threw him out and he can't be arsed to find a flat)and was shocked that I won't do this washing and ironing any more.
Ex is a project manager and sends me powerpoints and excels with project management speak like milestones to explain financial and access stuff. (Children are like work and not a joy for him) Bizarrely today he sent me his monthly budget in an attempt to get me to feel sorry for him but fuck that. He left and was spending 00s on his affair. I am not going to make his life easier.
Loving the quote about good mothers allowing fathers to be crap. Since the split my sons have really talked to me about their feelings towards ex and me. Im pleased that they both understand how much I treasure and love them.
Currently worried about dd. she's 10 and sees ex EOW and once mid-week. (Shes the only kid to see him regularly) I suspect that ex is feeding her crap. Shes become quite withdrawn and angry with me and her brothers for not throwing ex out and not being able to ignore his twatiness like us. We aren't living in a household of negativity about ex. She starts to talk about past events in a totally different way to how her brothers or I remember and seems to hanker for a past life that didn't happen rather than the fun future that me and her brothers are currently enjoying.
What hacks me off the most is these Exes trying to lay it on with a trowel that their bad and tight-arsed behaviour 'is something your mother has forced me into'.
It may have been unchallenged and unchallenge-able when the DCs were in primary school, but message for ExH: they are 15 and 17 now. They think you are tight and unpleasant.

Raspberry Cobbler
Berry fine, indeed: The jammy, intensely fruity base of this raspberry cobbler -- which packs in five whole cups of berries -- is balanced by a light, sweet biscuit topping.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 9
Photography: Marcus Nilsson
Source: Martha Stewart Living, June 2012
For the Filling
- 5 cups (1 pound 10 ounces) raspberries (red, black, or a combination of the two)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
For the Biscuit Topping
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- Sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Make the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour into a 9-inch square baking dish (2 inches deep).
Make the biscuit topping: Whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until largest pieces are the size of small peas. Add cream, and use a fork to incorporate, stirring just until cream is absorbed (there should be lots of loose pieces).
Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and knead once or twice, gathering loose bits into ball. Pat dough to a 1 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 9 rough squares, and place them on top of filling. Brush with cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Bake cobbler until bubbling in center and biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, about 1 hour (loosely tent with foil if biscuit topping gets too dark). Let stand at least 30 minutes before serving.

I seem to always let life get the best of me for some reason and put off the things that are important. Insanity is going well we are on recovery week today and I really needed it. I hurt my back last week doing something and could barley move... well I think I pulled a muscle or had some sort of back spasm so I had to skip 3of my insanity workouts since I couldn't even get off of the toilet without wincing... but haven't skipped with recovery week and even started up Brazil Butt Lift this week too! I did a shakeology 3day cleanse where basically you have 3shakes a day along with a piece of fruit and a salad with 4-6oz of white meat for dinner and I lost 4lbs and have yet to gain any of it back!!! I had some bad eating during the weekend because it was my father in laws wedding and he paid to have us stay in a hotel for the weekend which was amazingly nice since it was in the same city but no healthy food around. So the cleanse helped me get rid of any extra weight I would of put on and got rid of all my bloat issues so that was nice!
Our pool is very close to being done and I will post pics with the yard when all of it is set can't wait to get in it... hubby already has but we haven't had it cleaned since they finished and I feel weird about any kind of dirt in water lol It took us 3days to fill it!
Hubby and I went shopping last night and restocked our fridge with a bunch of fresh yummyness got a bunch of chicken some ground beef and lots of fruit and vegetables. I'm gunna start my new series of making one new pinterest food recipe and reviewing it along with pics starting Tuesday and first on the menu will be avocado hummus!!! Let me know if you have any healthy pins you would like me to make and review also you can follow my pins here! I'll always follow back! I love to see peoples ideas and always looking for new recipes!

Stop all the clocks
If you took off your wristwatch and removed all the clocks, would life be less stressful? One London office decided to give it a go.
What do the Big Brother house and the new Ł235m office block for MPs, Portcullis House, have in common?
Is it that both are host to a bunch of highly excitable individuals obsessed by their public image? Maybe.
The thought of living and working without reference to clocks and wristwatches is disconcerting. But that didn't stop staff at one London company from experimenting with the idea.
For one day only, all the clocks at AOL's UK headquarters were removed from the walls and hidden away. Workers were stripped of wristwatches, and time displays on computers and telephones were taped over.
Then staff were told to get on with their work as normal.
Keeping a watch
The experiment was more than just a piece of fun. Psychologist Averil Leimon, who mingled with the workers, was keen to see how it affected office practice.
For Ms Leimon, the experiment was also about equating time pressure with stress.
Stress accounts for 14% of sickness leave and the annual cost of UK productivity lost due to stress is estimated to be as much as Ł5.3bn.
"The pressure of time was really what we were looking at. It appeals to an organisation to pick up on time as a measure of productivity because quantity of time is easy to measure," says Ms Leimon.
Rhythm of life
How well we use that time - the quality issue - is more difficult to establish.
Morning is our most productive time. Our efficiency slumps after lunch and remains low most of the afternoon, she says.
In fact, in pure productivity terms, most of the working day is a waste of time, according the workplace quality guru Joseph Juran. His Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, states 80% of what we produce derives from 20% of our activity.
By stripping out all the clocks from AOL's offices, the question is whether staff came to rely instead on their body clocks instead of artificial deadlines when it came to getting work done, going to lunch and taking tea breaks.
Lunch break
Anecdotal evidence suggests they did. Some people drifted off to lunch at 11.30 and head of communications, Sasha Chisholm says there were even reports that meetings were more focused.
One group of professionals who will certainly be unimpressed is those who specialise in so-called time-management practices.
Neil Stanley, whose work at the sleep laboratory in Surrey University focuses on the body's natural clock, says time-management leads to greater stress.
"The tyranny of time derives from the idea that time is a unit of production. Therefore if you leave work early, even though you've done your job, then it's frowned upon," says Mr Stanley.
Torture method
"I think people would be less stressed without clocks. Obviously there are some jobs you have to be around all the time, but for others if people worked when they needed to and left the office when they were finished ... that would be ideal."
Taken to an extreme, life without clocks and any notion of time passing is highly destructive.
Indeed, the removal of timepieces along with daylight, is an established accompaniment to torture. Experiments whereby people have been shut away without clocks and daylight have yielded disturbing results.
In 1997, a student who had been isolated from the outside world for 25 days, in a room without windows, television, radio or any clocks, was reportedly admitted to a psychiatric hospital suffering panic attacks.
It could explain a lot about the Big Brother household.

Examination Of Leader Communication In Agriculture
My doctoral and research topic was significant in the examination and analysis of leader activities in the framework of a functional, modularly constructed empirical research program of the Department of Management Sciences. I could make statements and correspond about leader activities; these exercises and the influential factors on these activities were studied by the examinations and analyses of leader communication. In this article, I will demonstrate the research I made in on agricultural communication, as a Ph.D. student in the Department of Management Sciences.

The year is 2068. Humankind has established a lunar colony with a vast population of 300,000 inhabitants. They need supplies and the easiest way to send them is via the Moonlight Bazooka, a gas propelled launcher that shoots the containers into lunar orbit. One day, the 078962-EK ship, best known as The Ghost Ship Flying Dutchman docks after a 15-year journey to mine and return with the most precious energy resource known by humanity. The second OVA takes place approximately 100 years later - humans are now trying to establish colonies in other stellar systems, but they still don't travel as one and carry their national identities and the seed of war. The planet they find the most suitable conditions for colonization soon shows them that trying to live as separate beings from the Universe is not a good approach, and just how powerless they are.

Stolen RAF Sector clock
Hi I have been asked to share this in the hope of getting as many people aware as possible.
International Bomber Command Center
***A PLEA FROM THE CHAIRMAN Jennifer de Donges OF HOOK MEMORIAL HALL, HOOK NR GOOLE, EAST YORKSHIRE, UK ***
To the dispicable person who took our valuable clock from the wall inside the hall on the night of the 1st February 2017.
This was a clock used in the R.A.F. Operations Room during the 2nd world war.
We are a charity and struggle to keep things afloat and we would be most grateful if you could share this with all you friends, especially Antique dealers as this clock is very rare.
PLEASE TELEPHONE with any information
Jenny 07790508983 / 01405765407
Here is a photo of a similar clock but ours has ELLIOT on the back plate and the face is marked Keith Anderson.

PAL's Manila-Brazil direct flights may soon be a go!
Planning to go to Brazil? Well, say goodbye to connecting flights anytime soon as negotiation to allow direct flights from any point of our country to any point of Brazil and vice versa is currently being finalized.
PAL (Philippines Airlines) spearheaded this negotiation as a part of its on-going route expansion plans. Before this, the legacy airline has announced that 6 new destinations will be added to their belt which includes Kuala Lumpur, Australia (Brisbane, Darwin and Perth), China (Guangzhou) and UAE (Abu Dhabi).
The agreement between the two countries will be overseen by the Philippine air panel which comprises of representatives from different government agencies including CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board). If everything went well, this is will be the second agreement that the panel will close for the year following the signed agreement for daily flights to Melbourne, Australia.
In addition to direct flights, the air agreement includes daily flight schedules for the chosen airline of both countries, unlimited air traffic rights and permission for PAL to fly passengers to a third destination from any point of Brazil.
