Carbon Capture and Storage (Sequestration)
Carbon capture and storage (sequestration) or CCS
Some form of CCS will be probably be a necessary component, along with direct mitigation, for effective risk management of climate change.
BUT there is a Big Caveat - we can't use CCS as an excuse not to mitigate directly
Background on CCS (EPA)
According to scientists, atmospheric build-up of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases as a result of human activities is changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere and tending to warm the planet. Scientific studies link these changes to many impacts becoming increasingly more severe, including effects on food supply, water supply (shrinking glaciers), climate migration due to sea level rise, national security, changes in plant and animal habitats, and others. One way to help manage climate risk is to avoid emitting the CO2 into the air at power plants, or pulling some CO2 out of the air.
Carbon dioxide can be captured at stationary sources and injected underground for long-term storage in a process called geologic sequestration (GS) (Video – WMV, 8 min.). In its Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identified CO2 capture and geologic sequestration as one of several options (including energy efficiency and renewable energy) that have the potential to reduce climate change mitigation costs and increase flexibility in achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions. The IPCC estimates that there is enough capacity worldwide to permanently store as much as 1,100 gigatons of CO2 underground (for reference, worldwide emissions of CO2 from large stationary sources is approximately 13 gigatons per year) (IPCC, 2005).
Confidence in this technology is supported by the knowledge that CO2 produced through natural processes has been retained in geologic formations for hundreds of millions of years (IPCC, 2005). The presence of multiple trapping mechanisms will reduce the mobility of CO2 underground over time, decreasing the risk of CO2 leaking to the surface (IPCC, 2005). It is likely that well-selected, well-designed, and well-managed GS sites can sequester CO2 for long periods of time.
Approximately 95% of the largest stationary sources of CO2 emissions (e.g., coal-fired power plants) in the United States are within 50 miles of a candidate GS site (GTSP, 2006). Considering the large storage capacity in the United States, GS has the potential to contribute significantly toward meeting the goals of the nation's climate policy. To help realize these goals, the federal government is conducting a wide range of GS-related activities.
Will we REALLY need Carbon Sequestration? Yes. Why?
The atmosphere today contains around 400 ppm of CO2 (equivalent), which is not only increasing rapidly but is already near or maybe even above the concentration where unacceptably large negative impacts of the global warming trend of climate change will occur. Because neither the transition to renewable energies nor reduction in demand can happen overnight, fossil fuels (notably coal) will continue to play an important, even if diminishing, role in the energy portfolio for some time. We cannot allow coal consumption to increase atmospheric CO2 without unacceptable risk. Hence we have to get rid of this CO2 to stop it going into the atmosphere, i.e. store it underground and/or in plants and trees. We can also remove existing CO2 from the atmosphere and store it underground. Such removal of CO2 is what sequestration means.
There are some sequestration facilities that exist today, though none of them at the required large scale with demonstrated acceptable risk. There will clearly be a tradeoff between the risks of carbon sequestration and the risks of global warming impacts.
In July 2011 American Electric Power canceled its large carbon capture and sequestration project. This was considered one of the best test pilots of installing equipment on a large, existing coal-fired power plant that captures carbon dioxide and stores the gas permanently underground in deep rock formations, or saline aquifers... Mining workers in coal-rich states such as West Virginia expressed concerns that their jobs could be at risk eventually. Utilities will be under increasing pressure to switch from coal to natural gas because of new federal regulations on coal, and the industry had been counting on carbon capture as a savior for old coal plants, said Phil Smith of the United Mine Workers.
BUT there is a Big Caveat - we can't use CCS as an excuse not to mitigate directly
Sequestration, should it eventually prove technologically feasible at a large scale, should NOT be used as a convenient excuse to continue "Business as Usual BAU" and avoid direct mitigation, as detailed in the 2014 IPCC Mitigation Report. Direct mitigation includes includes ramping up a wholesale transfer from fossil fuels to better energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, fusion), reducing energy demand etc.
As with any geo-engineering concept (which sequestration is), there is a dangerous risk that BAU will remain. In that case, a good analogy would be a "Global Drug". The cessation of taking the drug of sequestration in a BAU state, or the appearance of large unexpected failures and leaks, could result in a disastrous "Drug Withdrawal Pain", which would be quick reversal to disastrous global warming. Even at a low probability level, the resulting huge impacts would make BAU unacceptable from a risk management standpoint.
Thus, direct mitigation must remain the major focus. Nonetheless, sequestration can be a valuable tool in the portfolio of actions against global warming.
What does Jim Hansen say about CO2 sequestration?
HERE is a letter from James Hansen; see also HERE and HERE. Hansen is the outspoken NASA scientist whose research led to "350". This refers to the "safe" level of CO2 of 350ppm, below today's level. Notably, Hansen says:
Coal caused fully half of the fossil fuel increase of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air today, and on the long run coal has the potential to be an even greater source of CO2. Due to the dominant role of coal, solution to global warming must include phase-out of coal except for uses where the CO2 is captured and sequestered.
A practical global strategy almost surely requires a rising global price on CO2 emissions and phase-out of coal use except for cases where the CO2 is captured and sequestered.
More information for point carbon capture and storage
Wikipedia's summary.
Here is information on carbon sequestration methods from the National Academy of Engineering, including a short video by Calestous Juma, member of the NAE Committee on Engineering's Grand Challenges.
HERE are excerpts from "Coal and Global Warming FAQ" from the Union of Concerned Scientists: ...CCS technology faces many barriers, including its currently very high cost and unanswered questions about the feasibility and safety of long-term, large-scale geologic storage...Despite these challenges, CCS has the potential to play a useful role in the fight against global warming, warranting further investment of commercial-scale demonstration projects. In the meantime, new coal plants that do not capture carbon emissions should not be built...The United States has 500 or so large, operating coal plants, and more than 100 plants are currently proposed to be built. None of the existing plants capture their carbon emissions...While the risks posed by the potential expansion of the U.S. coal plant fleet are high, so too are those posed by the widespread expansion of coal-fired power plants in the emerging economies, especially in China and India. China is reportedly building the equivalent of two new 500 MW conventional coal plants per week, and the country already consumes far more coal than the United States...
HERE is the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum CSLF that has resources, including the CSLF inFocus Papers on Carbon Capture and Storage Technology. The CSLF has developed a series of short educational papers (1-6 pages in length) answering some of the most common questions surrounding carbon capture and storage technology.

HERE is a comprehensive report from the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate entitled "Technology Action Plan - Capture, Use and Storage".
HERE is another report from the International Energy Agency, called "Technology Roadmap: Carbon Capture and Storage".
HERE is a real-life example of CCS in North Dakota, "Basin Electric aims to capture carbon emissions from coal-fired power plant". This is notable because it discusses retrofitting an existing plant: "At Basin Electric's Antelope Valley coal-based power plant, a facility with twin towers capable of producing 450 megawatts each of electricity, researchers hope to retrofit carbon capture technology to existing infrastructure".
HERE is an article in Nature Geoscience by Gary Shaffer on "Long-term effectiveness and consequences of carbon dioxide sequestration" warning about leakage of CO2 and ocean acidification.
HERE is an article on basalt storage.
HERE is an article on a new CO2 scrubbing technique pioneered by Siemens. In August, the Siemens process will be put to the test at a pilot facility built by Siemens and the energy company E.ON: the Staudinger coal-fired plant, near Frankfurt. The plant will be adapted so that part of its exhaust gases are fed into a chimney containing a 25-meter-high column that gives off a solvent mist that reacts with CO2 under pressure. As the flue gases pass through the mist, the CO2 is chemically absorbed, leaving residual gases to pass out of the chimney. The CO2 can then be separated from the solvent, which can be reused. The goal is 90% removal of CO2. The design is in this diagram:
Agriculture and Forestry Carbon Sequestration
Besides point-source removal discussed so far, CO2 can be removed from the atmosphere in a variety of other ways. Here is the EPA discussion of Carbon Sequestration in Agriculture and Forestry. For the US, the EPA says:
U.S. forests and croplands currently sequester over 600 teragrams (Tg) of CO2 equivalent (about 170 Tg or million metric tons of carbon equivalent), after accounting for both gains and losses in carbon. This current amount of sequestration in forests and croplands offsets approximately 12% of total U.S. CO2 emissions from the energy, transportation and industrial sectors.
Additional land-use and management changes can maintain and enhance these carbon sequestration levels in the U.S., reduce emissions of other greenhouse gases, and thus help address the climate change problem.
HERE is a recent interesting paper:
Genetically altered trees, plants could help counter global warming
Study evaluates prospects for boosting carbon sequestration from the atmosphere by modifying natural biological processes and deploying novel food and fuel crops
What about Biochar for sequestration?
Making biochar is essentially an inverse coal process - humans make a coal-like material and store it in the ground, thus sequestering CO2.
Biochar is charcoal created by pyrolysis of biomass, and differs from charcoal only in the sense that its primary use is not for fuel, but for biosequestration or atmospheric carbon capture and storage. Charcoal is a stable solid rich in carbon content, and thus, can be used to lock carbon in the soil. Biochar is of increasing interest because of concerns about climate change caused by emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG). See Wikipedia and Biochar.org for more information.
HERE and HERE are two great biochar VIDEOS.
What about HEMP for sequestration?
HERE is a paper making the case for growing hemp to pull carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus helping to mitigate global warming and climate change (Industrial Hemp Association of Queensland Inc).
Carbon Dioxide Air Capture and Storage
Another general method of carbon sequestration is carbon dioxide capture from the air, with subsequent storage. The novel part is the capture, with storage issues as above. HERE is the Wikipedia article on carbon dioxide air capture, which reads in part:
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) or Carbon dioxide air capture... removes carbon dioxide from ambient air by carbon dioxide scrubbing. It is a different approach to removing CO2 from the stack emissions of large point sources, such as fossil fuel fired power stations... CDR methods are notably supported by IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri, see HERE...
Genetically Engineered Bacteria and CCS
HERE is an exciting report showing that bacteria can help the CCS process. Bacteria can be genetically modified to trap CO2 faster, keeping it underground for millions of years.
And What About China's Use of Coal without sequestration?
Even if the US and other developed countries completely capture and sequester CO2 from all coal-fired plants, the enormous current and increasing use of coal in China and other countries without sequestration will overwhelm the earth's CO2 budget. HERE is a Bloomberg article on the current and projected coal use in China.
Many countries are making plans to limit or phase out coal over time. See HERE.

Peoria >Auto Dealers > Acura-Peoria
9190 W Bell Rd, Peoria, AZ | Directions 8538233.638191 -112.255798
Above and beyond – Acura of Peoria went above and beyond all expectations. It was a great experience working with Steve. Everyone at the dealership was very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone. As a matter of fact I have already sent a friend who may be interested in a MDX to steve.
Too easy – I have worked with a few dealerships in the past but never have I had such an enjoyable experience as I did at Acura Of Peoria. My salesman Steve was able to answer all of our questions and then some. The general sales manager Brijen even came out to introduce himself to me. The entire process was a little too easy, before I knew it I was driving away in my new TL.
Impressed – I was looking at an Audi and went to Acura to compare. I was so impressed with how I was treated by Stanley Brown throughout the entire process. Not only did I buy an Acura, my parents went back in to buy one as well. To add to it, my parents use to own Acura's, but had a bad experience from this dealership in the past and sold their Acura's.
I had been a Bell Acura customer for a long time. Then when the ownership changed we were treated very badly and sold both our Acura's for another luxury brand. Our son recently went back and saw Stanley Brown who sold him a TSX. He was very happy with the Dealership and Stanley Brown so I came in to see Stanley as well. I did not receive the Gang Sales tactact as before and felt very comfortable working with Stanley and the management.
Best car buying experience – The sales rep was knowledgable and friendly. The dealership had a great inventory to choose from. Overall this was the best car buying experience thus far. I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends and family. I will also return for future auto needs.
Keep up the good work!
That much more rewarding – First off, I haven't purchased a vehicle in years and the thought of dealing with a car salesman is sometimes difficult. However, our sales person Jorge Gomez at Acura of Peoria was EXCELLENT! Jorge was extraordinarily friendly and had a great personality which made the sale that much more rewarding. I would recommend this dealership/Jorge Gomez to my family and friends. Love the 2010 Acura RDX -On a final note to Jorge: Need more cookies! lol
Outstanding experience – The dealership was beautiful with a large selection of inventory. The sales team and finance department was friendly, curteous, and very knowlegable. I will definitley recommend this dealership to freinds and family in the future. Thanks again for the outstanding experience!
They are excellent – Very professional staff, courteous, and efficiant. I would recomend this dealership to all my family and freinds. Financing department worked hard to get what I needed and signing paperwork was quick and easy. I have also experienced there service department and they are excellent.
This dealership is awesome. I just bought a TSX from them last week. They have followed up to make sure that everthing is perfect. My sales person also went out of his way to ensure everything went smooth. I would recomend this store to any and everyone!
The most helpful dealer – Sam Law, our salesperson, was helpful, knowledgeable and professional .Everyone was professional, courteous and and made the experience great , including the General Manager Mr. Brijen Dave. The financial adviser was a five. I would purchase at the dealer again and will recommend it too. We drove all the way from Tuscon to buy this car because Acura of Peoria was the most helpful dealer over the internet and phone.

Tarot Card of the Day
Sunday, Jun 23rd, 2013
What is traditionally known as the Temperance card is a reference to the Soul. Classically female, she is mixing up a blend of subtle energies for the evolution of the personality. One key to interpreting this card can be found in its title, a play on the process of tempering metals in a forge.
Metals must undergo extremes of temperature, folding and pounding, but the end product is infinitely superior to impure ore mined from the earth. In this image, the soul volunteers the ego for a cleansing and healing experience which may turn the personality inside-out, but which brings out the gold hidden within the heart. (This card is entitled "Art" in the Crowley deck.)

LISBON - Hassan A. Alhawshabi, 49, Newell, W.Va., pleaded guilty in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court to one count of telecommunications fraud and two counts of illegal use of supplemental nutrition assistance benefits program.
Court documents state he used a food stamp card belonging to Velinda Cunningham on Jan. 2, 2011 without her permission to purchase $408 in food products at the Calcutta Walmart. Similarly, at the same store, he used a food stamp card belonging to Brandy Cottrill to purchase $140 in food on March 5, 2011. Finally, Alhawshabi reportedly used Cunningham's food card benefits to secure $350 in food products for his business.
He faces up to three years in prison and a fine of $7,500. Sentencing is set for Feb. 4.

In The Wall Street Journal, James Bovard, a former CEI Warren T. Brookes Journalism Fellow, takes aim at some of the billions in waste contained in President Obama's recent "jobs" proposal, the "American Jobs Act," which would fund proven government failures in the form of federal job "training." Federal "job-training" programs, which Obama likes, are so dismally ineffective that they cause "significant earnings losses" for young people who participate in them, and result in participants ending up on food stamps at higher rates:
Last Thursday, President Obama proposed new federal jobs and job-training programs for youth and the long-term unemployed. The federal government has experimented with these programs for almost a half century. The record is one of failure and scandal.
In 1962, Congress passed the Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA) . . . A decade after MDTA's inception, GAO reported that it was failing to teach valuable job skills or place trainees in private jobs and was marred by an "overriding concern with filling available slots for a particular program," regardless of what trainees actually needed.
Congress responded in 1973 by enacting the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). . . CETA spent vastly more money. . .[such as] providing nude sculpture classes (where, as the Pharos-Tribune of Logansport, Ind., explained, "aspiring artists pawed each others bodies to recognize that they had 'both male and female characteristics'"), and conducting door-to-door food-stamp recruiting campaigns.
Between 1961 and 1980, the feds spent tens of billions on federal job-training and employment programs. To what effect? A 1979 Washington Post investigation concluded, "Incredibly, the government has kept no meaningful statistics on the effectiveness of these programs—making the past 15 years' effort almost worthless in terms of learning what works." CETA hirees were often assigned to do whatever benefited the government agency or nonprofit that put them on the payroll, with no concern for the trainees' development. An Urban Institute study of the mid-1980s concluded that participation in CETA programs resulted in "significant earnings losses for young men of all races and no significant effects for young women."
After CETA became a laughingstock, Congress replaced it in 1982 with the Job Training Partnership Act. JTPA spent lavishly—to expand an Indiana circus museum, teach Washington taxi drivers to smile, provide foreign junkets for state and local politicians, and bankroll business relocations. . . young trainees were twice as likely to rely on food stamps after JTPA involvement than before since the "training" often included instructions on applying for an array of government benefits.
For years the Labor Department scorned the mandate in the 1982 legislation to speedily and thoroughly evaluate whether the programs actually benefitted trainees. Finally, in 1993, it released a study that showed participation in JTPA "actually reduced the earnings of male out-of-school youths." Young males enrolled in JTPA programs had 10% lower earnings than a control group that never participated. . .
In his speech to Congress, Mr. Obama called for funding hundreds of thousands of summer jobs for teens, which he labeled "investing in low-income youth and adults." Yet such programs have been blighting work ethics for decades.
The GAO warned in 1969 that many teens in federal summer jobs programs "regressed in their conception of what should reasonably be required in return for wages paid." A decade later, it reported that most urban teens "were exposed to a worksite where good work habits were not learned or reinforced." And in 1985, a National Academy of Science study found that government jobs and training programs isolated disadvantaged youth, thus making it harder for them to fit into the real job market.

The buzz in the performance-improvement arena these days is all about the Demand Chain, where companies begin their product or service development by first consulting consumers or end users to evaluate their needs. Only then do they call in research and development, sales, marketing, and other departments.
Along with this focus on customer needs is a growing understanding that the employees who work directly with those customers can play a pivotal role in branding and even product development — and that incentives can be used not only to develop brand loyalty among customers but also to create a stronger understanding of the brand among employees.
"There's a new recognition by a lot of companies that they need to do a better job engaging and rewarding these employees," says Frank Mulhern, associate professor and department chairman, integrated marketing communications, Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. Mulhern is a driving force behind Northwestern's Forum for People Performance Management and Measurement, which has become a leading source of research linking long-term financial success to motivated customers and employees.
The way the demand chain works is that "employees who deliver outstanding brand experiences become the primary customer-satisfying variables. The products themselves and pricing become support," explained Mulhern's colleague, Don E. Schultz, professor emeritus-in-service at Northwestern, in a recent issue of the Forum's newsletter. "If you start at the top of the pyramid, the employee base, you must motivate and reward employees to provide better brand experiences, which will result in bottom-line success."
Mulhern qualifies that nonsales incentives can serve an important role "only if they're professionally managed. In a lot of cases, companies don't bring in professional companies to create [incentives] but run them on their own. They need to be run by companies that can also measure the results [in order] for them to be efficient."

As with other technologies, advances in lighting just keep coming. Now that you're somewhat comfortable with CFL — compact fluorescent lamp — bulbs, get ready for things to change again. The latest generation of LEDs — light-emitting diodes — are here and manufacturers claim they rival the look, dimming ability, and light quality of incandescents. Better yet, LEDs contain no mercury, and last up to five times longer than CFLs and 50 times longer than incandescents. They are pricey, many sell for $60 or more, but could save about $300 in electrical cost over its life compared with an incandescent.

Energy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponEnergy Bars-A Weight-Loss Secret WeaponDecide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal
Whether part of a planned program or eaten on the fly, bars bridge the hunger gap and boost your energy. When you're working on your waistline, today's bars can support your weight-loss efforts, especially when fresh food and refrigeration aren't in easy reach. And when you're in a rush, munching on an energy bar is one of the best stop-gap measures for those sudden "I'm ravenous" moments. Downing a healthy bar can even prevent a "roadside attraction" binge of fries, shakes, or convenience-store goodies like high-calorie, high-fat chips and cookies. In other words, energy bars can be a helpful tool in your diet plan.
Put your hunger behind bars
First, you need to decide whether your bar will be a snack or part of a meal. "If it's a snack, the bars should have less than 180 calories," advises Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, the national media spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Chicago. "If it's a meal, the bar should be more than 200 calories and needs to be eaten with fruit and vegetables to satisfy you for four or more hours till you eat again."
In fact, substituting an energy bar-paired with an apple or veggie salad-for one meal each day can help you lose weight. "By adding fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber and water, you'll feel more full," says Blatner. "This can help accelerate weight loss." If your goal is to drop a few pounds, Blatner says you need to read the nutrient label to make sure your meal-replacing bar contains:
- at least 200 calories
- 3 grams or less saturated fat
- 3 grams or more fiber (to help you feel full)
- at least 10 grams of protein (to help tide you over till your next meal)
Indulge in your favorite flavors
As a general rule, look for bars with the least sugar and the most fiber (in other words, "good carbs") or protein (whatever your preference) to avoid the crash that comes from eating bars that are more like candy disguised in "natural" packaging.
"After you've read the label, it all boils down to personal preference," says Blatner. Love dried berries? Go for a fruity bar. Granola, nut, or yogurt fan? Store shelves are stocked with bars for every discriminating taste. You can take your pick from grain- or yogurt-based, to nut- or fruit-dense bars.
Simply scan the ingredient list for the foods or flavors you fancy and cross-check it with the label's nutrition facts to ensure it fits with your diet goals.
Pick the best bar for the job
As the seemingly endless choices will attest, you can find a bar to fit your evolving healthy lifestyle needs. Lifting weights? Try a high-protein bar favored by weight-trainers to help repair muscle. Love jogging, hiking, and biking? Look for high-carb bars preferred by the distance runners who crave instant energy.
If you're interested in eating fewer preservatives and getting the maximum nutrients from the foods you eat, you might like a raw energy bar. The tastes may vary widely but they are typically packed with robust ingredients such as nuts, nectar, berries, and ginger.Enjoy!Nancy Gottesman, a nutrition writer and mother in southern California, admits to needing way more energy than these bars can provide!

I really didn't like the taste of these. It was very thick and too much peanut-buttery. Plus they have about 50 calories more than the other questbars. I like the chocolate-peanut butter ones much more.

Comments about Quest Nutrition QuestBar - Peanut Butter Supreme:
These bars are great and the Peanut Butter Supreme is the best I have tasted so far (I like Cinnamon Roll too, can tolerate the Chocolate Brownie and Coconut Crunch, and dislike Vanilla Almond Crunch...the latter three have more of that protein bar after taste). When you want a filling, healthy snack, reach for a PB Supreme Quest Bar. I have started substituting my daily snack for these and eating less carbs and I can already see results. If you put the Cinnamon Roll in the microwave for about 30 seconds you can get it to harden almost like a cookie. Haven't tried that with the Peanut Butter Supreme yet but it's so tasty on it's own I tend to gobble it all up! Great for traveling

The answer is your biceps femoris, also known as the hamstrings.
But wait, you say, aren't those muscles on the backs of my legs? Why, yes they are. The attachments of these muscles are to the legs, but also to the bottom of your pelvis. When they are tight, they tug down on the pelvis. Some of your big spinal muscles attach to the top of your pelvis, which starts the tug-of-war that makes backaches set in.
The causes of low back pain run the spectrum from disc bulges and ruptures, bone spurs, arthritis, joint strains/sprains, muscle strains/sprains and, of course, the common subluxation. Subluxation happens when one or more of the joints of the spine becomes misaligned and stuck, causing pressure at that joint and in the nervous system, because the spine protects the spinal cord.
Tight hamstrings can put lots of strain on the muscles of the low back, but they can also contribute to low spine/pelvic subluxation by inhibiting a healthy motion of the pelvis and low back. The biggest culprit of tight hamstrings is being sedentary. Sitting at a desk, in the car, on the couch, can all cause the hamstrings to tighten. Really, most of what ails your muscles and bones comes from sitting on your butt. I have a three-step solution for a life free from backaches.
Step 1: Stand up, then touch your toes. Feel the stretch. Do this regularly to loosen up your legs and lower back.
Step 2: Start a regular walking routine. Keep your legs and core engaged in exercise and you will have more energy and less pain.
Step 3: Get adjusted by your chiropractor. Keep your spine and nervous system functioning for optimal health.

I dont think that anything WS tells you would give you an answer or it would apply in your case. In my case there was a huge communication problem, for which Im the only one responsible, and I could not relate my remorse. I was not capable of doing this. But, I had remorse, and I still have this remorse, as big as a mountain. Yes, there are BSs that will tell you that the true remorse can be seen, and the fact that they are not seeing it is a proof that their husbands dont have it. But, I dont agree, sometimes the way people see things after Ddays is so different, that emotional communication is very hard. I am a proof of this. With all my remorse. It is huge and yet, my wife dont think it exists. So, yes, I have failed in showing it in way it is understandable and visible for her, but it doesnt mean it was not there. My biggest problem, my whole life, and it took me some time to understand, was that I was emotionally extremely uncommunicative. Not only that I wasnt saying things, I wasnt showing them properly either. And as much as I was trying and wanting to change this in myself, I simply couldnt. I was surprised when my wife told me that Im not doing anything, while I was under impression that there is nothing more I can do. When she told me that I never tell her I love her when I had completely, but completely different picture in my head. On one occasion, I was watching her with so much love that I was melting inside, when she lifted her head and asked me why am I looking at her with a face of a hit man?
Im not saying that this could be your case, or anybody else's, but there is so much that both WS and BS take for granted with each other. I have 20 something years of marriage behind me and I know that emotionally I never really understood my wife, nor she understood me. I agree, there is huge urgency in understanding BSs and trying to help them out from the situation that they are in. And everything else should be put aside, it doesnt matter. How WSs understand, live out this problem, is not of any importance. They didnt even deserve to be understood. I completely agree. But, sometimes, they can react the way they do because they are just humans. And usually, damaged ones, too.
So, the real question is, was your husband capable of remorse before Dday. If he was, he still is, and probably, more than ever. He might only, not be able to show this in any meaningful way, because, before he broke you, he was broken himself.
Hope this makes sense-when I read it again, not sure. There so many emotions I want to relay and so few lines.
As R continues past 3 years for me/us, I can't see evidence that he stayed with me b/c losing me would have just devastated him...he doesn't separate me from our whole life together...almost 40 years together...so I feel like I haven't been valued by him for a very long time...until this A i just assumed I was his soulmate as he was mine...now I just con't get that back.
Just need thoughts from the WS side of things so maybe I will understand where he is coming from.
My situation might be different because Im SA so it is extremely hard for my wife to live with this, and I was never given the chance of reconciliation (at least not verbally). Because of my history, my everydays life was tough, and, even now, after 2 years, it still is. Thanks to myself and my behavior, anyway. And hundred times less tough as it is for my wife, dont get me wrong.
So, from your posts I can really see what was your behavior like after Dday. Was it for your husband business as usual to stay with you, continue as hi did, or everything changed? Were you screaming, crying, in constant pain, was he in pain. How different were your reactions, how much did you discuss the whole thing? Was there any effort for him to put into reconciliation, so you can see that he was trying?
My wife would not believe that I love her, and that Im trying to cling to my marriage for this reason only. She still does not, and probably never will. I tried to explain my situation, in calm moments, logically, if I cant use words to describe the emotions that she will believe: Ok, Im the scum of the earth. If I am like that, wouldnt be the easiest to go, straight away, without looking back and live the life you said I have chosen. Finally free, no boundaries, I can be SA 24/7. No morals, no conscience, so why would I stay? She said that Im staying because Im responsible, always have been. But, if Im responsible, how could I have done all of those things. Also, you can be responsible and still leave. She doesnt really have me, at least it appears she doesnt really want me, and everything else that goes with me she would still have. You can be responsible as an divorced parent. So why would I stay? I cant explain, she says at the end of this discussion. Im not saying that you should apply logic in your case, but, sometimes, it may help to eliminate factors that cloud the picture.
I dont know if I will be given second, or a millionth chance (depends how you look at it) but If I do, I know I will never miss a chance to communicate emotionally to my wife, any fears, any thought, any worries, any feelings. Although I can look at the reconciliation process with only an envy, I somehow feel that you guys are not communicating the way you should.
I hate when I sound like Im giving advices, and although I cant pin point where, the tone of this post is wrong. Please, dont understand me wrongly, Im not here to give any advices, just to explain my logic and my reasoning. I dont know if this would help, but Im sure it will not make it any worse.
Good luck
I waffled back and forth and put my BW through limbo because of the guilt. The thing that knocked me off the fence was when my BW was ready to go. So, the best answer for my situation given your options is that I could not stand the thought of a life without her.
What gets me though is that the situation as it occurred could easily be construed as selfish on my part, meaning my BW decided she was going to go take care of herself, in her words, she was going to find someone who would love her as she deserves. The thought of her going on with her life, finding that happiness which I knew I was responsible for having taken away in the first place, and also knowing that I would likely remain miserable on my own was what knocked me off the fence.
I dont know how to make it seem other than my BW as a second choice; that I settled. This is something that Ive thought about fairly often. All I know is that it was the best choice for me, for her, for our kids and for our lives together. So every day is a day that I get to prove that my BW was the best thing for me, and that I am forever going to be sorry for what I put her through, and that I get to find a way to show her how grateful I am that she also chose me.
What are some triggers WS have? I have seen this on other boards, and I have asked my WH what his triggers are and he claims he doesn't have any. And I have been wondering what some may be.
thank you for any help/answers I can get
[This message edited by scangel3 at 1:05 PM, December 11th (Tuesday)]
"Our MC told us let go of the consequences. Assuming a person is not trying to hurt someone else and is speaking authentically... from the heart... Just say it.
Your H should just say what he thinks, what he feels. You are strong enough to hear it. If you cry, you cry. If you get mad, you get mad. You'll get over it."
Totally great advice from your marriage counsellor and ours has said the same. Sadly the last part tho...you are right, I am strong enough to hear anything and may cry or get mad, but sadly my FWH isn't strong enough to deal with my tears or especially with anger as he retreats/withdraws in further and his level of shame increases, which leads to more anxiety from him etc. This has been such a vicious cycle for us, non-healing for either of us. He's working in IC so I can only hope that he can learn some good, effective coping strategies and actually USE them or we won't get through this. It's really sad. Thanks so much for your post!
I'm not sure how that statement works, and I've seen it a number of times here.
Probably the easiest thing to consider is compartmentalization. The WS can put the people and events around them into whatever box those things need to be put into at whatever point they need to. If they couldn't, then their head would explode.
In my case, I was actively trying to stop loving my BW, and believe I got to that point. I can see that it was a road I didn't want to go down and felt forced to go that direction. So I can see that I did still have love for my wife during my EA, but did everything I could to deny it.
Not sure what your situation is, so hopefully someone else will come along with a better answer.
Compartmentalization scary stuff. Yes, you are able to live 2 lives at the same time. To lock away all the unpleasant thoughts. Everything that doesnt suit you. I thought before this can only happen to a serious mentally ill person, even than, it looked like a stretch.
Until It happened to me.
Minimalization comes along, in the same package. Favorite ones are everybody is doing it, this is nothing serious. For all my years I really thought that the time I spend thinking of sex outside my marriage, and doing the deed, was very short, almost nonexistent. Something that would take a minute out of my day, couple of thoughts here and there. It took a while for me to realize that slowly, but surely, that sex was taking over my life, my duties, my thoughts until it changed me completely.
Denial what ever you put in that box, denial prevents to come out. For me, it is sort of minimalization, but with some sort of longer lasting effects like she will never find out because I will not tell her, Im a good and honest man.
Selfishness this is the biggest one, and, for me, it somehow grew from my childhood. I was denied many things as a child. That is why I felt I have right, that I have deserved everything I wanted. She is not interested in sex, and I have right to it, I work so hard and I deserved some pleasure for myself, she doesnt take care of my needs, I take care of hers (wroooong) so I will take care of myself.
From what I have understood, this all together, represents what they call the fog. Even after Dday, it is hard to get out of this way of thinking. Some of us are not capable of doing it ever. Some recognize this with the help of CI. Some, by themselves. This still doesnt answer the question why did I do it?. It just explains the mechanism that made it possible.
So, to answer your question yes, it is possible, your husband could have loved you and still did all those things. And trust me (if you can, considering who I am), it is as strange to him as it is strange to you. Now, whatever I mentioned are psychological terms, and I dont know much about psychology at all. All I know, they are not measurable. So if you want concrete answer, that is not going to have any probabilities, you will not find it. Yes, the easiest simple answer is he didnt love me, and it is logical, concrete. But, again, it is not that simple. Yes, there are many WSs that turn away from their spouses straight away, or, even, after DD, treat them even worse than before. But, there are numerous others who managed to reconcile, who stayed with their BSs, and continue loving them. Yes, they have done terrible things and they have taken responsibility for it. But, they loved their BSs and their stayed with them through their hardest moments. Im not saying this as something nice about them, like they deserve the medal, after all, they are simply doing what they were suppose to be doing all their marriage. Im simply saying this because I dont believe that you can not love somebody for number of years, and then, when you are discovered, you can suddenly start loving them with an unbelievable intensity.
I might be wrong here in may aspects, but this is how I feel.
Betraying someone you love is not a loving act.
Im simply saying this because I dont believe that you can not love somebody for number of years, and then, when you are discovered, you can suddenly start loving them with an unbelievable intensity.
This is true, but I believe that the love you felt during the affair wasn't the same love that you felt on your wedding day. Yes, I too feel as though I never stopped loving my BS; yet I completely betrayed him. How could I do that if I loved him?? Compartmentalization? Sure, I did that. Selfishness, Minimalization, Denial - I agree that these are all part of a WS's thinking. That little voice in our head that rationalizes the A.
But what BaxtersBFF said
So I can see that I did still have love for my wife during my EA, but did everything I could to deny it.
I am still working though this myself, because I have told my BS the same thing. He doesn't buy it and I understand, I wouldn't either.

You have the right place
There have been a couple of threads on this subject (at least related) just recently. One in the Wayward forum and the other was either in Recon or General.
There isnt necessarily a reason to see the AP in a negative light. For many of us, the AP just no longer matters. They arent part of R, there is no reason to expend the mental energy into a negative view, or any view at all.
I do think that its great that your WH has been able to separate the OW from the A. The OW is just a person, but the thing your WH needs to figure out is why he needed the ego boosting and flattery. That is where the whys will be found. When a WS is in the fog though, all they are going to see is that the AP is responsible for those feelings. They arent.
Those feelings are something that can create biochemical reactions in the brain similar to what addicts feel (okay, biochemical is just a guess and a fun, fancy word to use
dont know if that description is accurate, but you can google this stuff). So, a WS is going to be able to look back with clarity. The next challenge will be to see if they can accept it and work through it without blaming it all on someone else.
How do you know its not all a lie?
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. ~Viktor Frankl
I am also having a hard time believing her when she tells me that I am what she has always wanted and that she is attracted to me.
She was such a skilful liar during her affair that I find myself doubting everything she says.
These things didn't matter to be before d-day, but they weigh on me now almost all the time.
WS out there, did you continue to lie to your spouse in R in order to make them feel better about themselves?

Editor's Note: The Daily Sparks Tribune and PetFolio recently partnered for editorial content on the weekly Pet's Place page. While the Tribune shares values and goals with PetFolio regarding love of animal companions and a desire to deliver information about their care, this announcement is solely about PetFolio, and in no way is indicative of any change with print delivery of the Tribune. – Nathan Orme, editor
RENO — As I announce to my fellow pet enthusiasts that PetFolio magazine will be exiting the realm of print, I want to say that I and everyone at Animal Fanfare Publishing is tremendously proud of what PetFolio and our team have accomplished over the last 15 years. We have consistently delivered award-winning articles to an enthusiastic audience of readers and advertisers, but given the current advertising environment and the opportunities we see in emerging digital platforms we think the time is right to transition the PetFolio brand.
After 15 years of creating PetFolio magazine, I have decided to make the December/January issue the last paper-and-ink pet magazine. The decision was a long time in coming, but I want to be even more timely and community-oriented. I love the writing and the topics, as well as working with our dedicated contributors. And, PetFolio gave me a wonderful opportunity to be a force in the pet world.
In fact, as I was celebrating our 15th anniversary and putting together our recent anniversary issue, I had the chance to think back to the long list of accomplishments we have achieved over the years. We launched PetFolio with a helping hand from the original horse whisperer, Monty Roberts, on our cover and with a personal interview about communication with horses. We also avidly remember working closely with the Nevada Humane Society as our community came together. Reno Animal Services and the Humane Society joined hands and raised funds and awareness to build the state-of-the-art shelter they now enjoy. We also were happy to introduce, years later, the SPCA of Northern Nevada's move to their green home for animals on the north side of Reno.
Although our format will change, PetFolio will have a continued and expanded presence for the pets in our community. Specifically, this change will allow us to reach our readers instantly. We want PetFolio to have the most cost-effective way of reaching our community, and the switch to Internet news and events allows us to do that.
You can help us now by asking your favorite websites to link to us, and you can contribute photos of your pets and articles to our site. You can upload your own pet events, at any time of the day, as well as submit your animal articles, and peruse our tried-and-true resource guide for pet owners. Sit, stay, and continue to care about your pets at PetFolioMagazine.com.

A: Clear, deep amber to slightly copper. Coarse two inch apricot colored head that settled into a quarter inch and held. Ample lacing all the way down..
S: Mmm...plenty of hop aroma. Distinct citrus bite.
T: Quich flash of sweet malt soon overtaken by grapefruit and and distinct piney taste. Actually reminds me a bit of IPA's. Nice clean bitter finish.
M: Medium to full bodied. Bitters bring the beer to a nice balance.
D: Great balance make this an easy drinking ale. Clean bitter finish makes me want another drink. Good thing I bought two bombers.

Copper color with a small head. They nailed the nose, with an intense blend of west coast hops that deliver loads of grapefruit and lemon. Flavor packs a wallop with a lovely, beautiful hoppiness. Lemon, citrus, resin, pure, oily hops. Well utilized hops and also hops of high quality. Delicious display of hops. Basically a 1.5 IPA here.

"Ale to the Chief! - A Presidential Pale Ale to celebrate Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009"
"Not an 'imperial' pale ale, this is a democracy."
"We the Brewers..."
Just a few of the literary gems on this fine bottle of beer!
22oz. brown bomber bottle topped with gold foil.
Pours a redish golden amber with ample head.
Lots of fresh hop aroma with citrus and pine notes.
Flavor is that of a IPA or imperial IPA but you didn't hear it from me...
Nicely bittered but also well balanced. This is really an exceptional beer.
I know what I'll be drinking 1/9/09!

He and his band play the clubs on Broadway entertaining tourist and locals alike when in Nashville. Since 2002 Bart has been playing guitar and fronting the band for Loretta Lynn, relishing every moment of being a "Coal Miner" and being on stage with a legend.

I was born in Nashville, TN. I have a bachelors degree in education from Middle Tennessee State University. I am currently employed as a staff songwriter for Amylase Entertainment/Warner Chappell Publishing in Nashville, TN. You can hear more of my music and find out the skinny on when and where I'll be playing next via my official website at myspace.com/themattwarren
In 1996 my band "40 East" signed our first deal with Crecent Moon Talent in Nashville, TN. I put together a roots rock-n-roll project in 2000 called "Papa Joe". We made a record called "Storybook Ending" that can be found at iTunes, www.myspace.com/papajoe (just click on "Papa Joe" from the link in my "top friends" section below) or at stonewallrecords.com. The record is really cool, check it out for yourself! (opened for the Derek Trucks band and the Allman Bros. band on July 4, 2002 in Nashville at the now, non-existant, Starwood Amphitheater)

Taria is no newcomer to the country music scene. Taria began her music career at an early age. At 15, Taria made her debut on the Grand Ole'Opry. Later that same year, while singing at the legendary Nashville Palace, Taria caught the ear of Columbia recording artist, Vern Gosdin, who she began performing with for the next year. By age 18, opportunity knocked once again with an invitation to open shows for recording artist Lorrie Morgan. The following year Taria accepted a job in a "Memories Of Conway" show performing the Loretta Lynn portion of the show in venues throughout the United States. It was time for Taria to step out on her own as she put a band together and toured playing clubs and casino's from Las Vegas to Florida.
New England native and long term Texas resident Matt DelRossi exploded into the Nashville music scene in the late winter of 2011 quickly booking gigs nonstop along Broadway and Music Row. Gaining attention from music executives and managers. Matt is nothing short of a road dog having toured extensively in Texas, the southeast and southwest, opening shows for some of the greats like C.C.R. and Buddy Guy. As a writer, Matt blends the styles of Alternative-Country and Soul. As an entertainer, he blends Country, Classic Rock, Soul and R&B. A noted Blues player, Matt has played countless shows behind blues legend Pinetop Perkins at the Legendary Nuno's on Sixth in The Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, Texas
If you were to ask Matt what style of music he plays he would sum up all of what he does as simply "American Music".

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Deputies say a mother and daughter were intentionally run down in a bank parking lot in front of other family members. The driver of the SUV that hit them is now facing murder and attempted murder charges.
Rosa Lee Armstrong, 56, died from her injuries. Her 22-year-old daughter, Shaina Armstrong, is expected to recover and is being treated for her injuries at Flagler Hospital.
Candace Kiara Jackson, 24, is now charged with second degree murder and second degree attempted murder.
Kevin Kelshaw with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office says Jackson was involved in a domestic relationship with Shaina Armstrong. He says the two were involved in an argument earlier in the day on Friday, which culminated in Jackson hitting Shaina Armstrong and her mother with her SUV in the Bank of America parking lot on U.S. 1 South in St. Augustine.
Deputies say the attack happened while the mother and daughter were walking in the parking lot with other family members.

Their recommendations on dining, highlights and wine were well appreciated--we bought a bottle from them of a local winery. We enjoyed their company and really felt we had the full "B&B" experience.

Jordan was found in her bedroom closet bleeding from her head and blood running down her face, officials said.
Loebsack, 44, was committed to the Northampton County Prison on $5,000 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 11 a.m. Jan. 30.

I saw Bull a couple of times this week whilst visiting family in Sheffield. The premiere of a new Mike Bartlett play starring Adam James could not be missed and I was not disappointed. Although only 50 minutes in length, this play is certainly very current, intense, filled with sharp dialogue and excellent performances from all four actors.
There are certainly elements in the behaviour here that were recognisable from office interactions that I've come across or heard about (although this was a heightened form).The set certainly works for the gladiatorial nature of the piece and it's interesting to note how you and those around you grow more and more uncomfortable by the treatment of Sam Troughton's character as the time passes. Definitely worth a visit if you have the opportunity.

Seattle >Bars & Clubs > Madrona Eatery & Ale House
1138 34TH Ave, Seattle, WA | Directions 9812247.612842 -122.289189
Neighborhoods: Central Seattle, Central, Madrona
Kiddy haven by day, neighborhood hangout by night – This bar & grill has anchored the corner of Madrona's retail strip for years, and knows its clientele well. Here you'll find families with kids looking for a low-hassle night out, solo diners catching the hockey game and couples relaxing with an after-work drink. It's kid-friendly to a fault, with a play area and a liberal child-roaming policy, but after 8 you'll find a more grown-up atmosphere with late-night happy hour and weekly trivia. A rotating list of beers and wines is a highlight, though the food offers some pleasant surprises for a neighborhood joint, like the savory carnitas tacos and addictive onion rings.
Never expected that....... – There was paper, like a cheese slice with a big piece of wax paper attached, and yes, they didn't make me pay for the cheeseburger.... but that's it? No apology from the manager??
A kid-friendly neighborhood bar with good food. – In Short
On most nights, toddlers run underfoot as their parents enjoy a beer and locals warm the bar stools. This corner bar is lined with windows; the booths are best to quaff one of the 15 draft brews while watching passersby. Choices range from a mushroom burger to smoked salmon fettucine. Cheesy pizzas, sandwiches and fresh-cut fries round out the bar food, while pastas and land-and-sea specials are menu mainstays.
Great for Young Children – I enjoy taking my kids here because there's a small play area with toys (near the fireplace so kids do need to be watched carefully) to keep the youngin's busy while the food is prepared. Friendly staff. Things get a bit loud on Friday evenings simply because the place draws a fairly large crowd. Great during the summer because the windows open wide providing lots of air flow. I'd recommend.
Great neighborhood pub – Great pub atmosphere, plus you can bring your kids. It's only open evenings, though, so it's not always convenient. Still, the staff is great and the food is fine. I'd recommend it.
User review by pgcarlson – This place is a neighborhood favorite- excellent location and decent food. What keeps us coming back, though, is the service and atmosphere. The waitstaff and the bartender are terrific Really friendly and welcoming-- and it shows given the diversity of the clientele. Our only complaints: the portions are small, the prices are high for what you get, and they really need to be open on Saturday & Sunday afternoons.
Madrona Eatery is the Best – The Madrona Eatery and Ale House is a great place to go and eat/drink/relax. The waitstaff is very friendly, and always moving. The food is excellent both in quality and diversity. The Ale House Burger is a MUST, especially with the grilled onion. The Hummus Plate is also a must with grilled pita, yummy hummus, greek olives and feta cheese adorning the plate.
Bye Bye Bad Chef! – Thank you so much for getting rid of that terrible chef. The last two were wonderful i don't know what the owner was thinking when they hired the grumpy old guy. I'm glad things are back to normal we will come more often.
GREAT SERVICE – My family has frequented the Ale House weekly for the past year. There have been several changes made, some great, some not so great. Overall it is always a friendly place to go with great service, concidering the kids running around the servers feet while they deliver food. The new menu is excellent, however don't try and make a substitution of any kind. Not only will the server be reluctant to ask the chef, if they actually do make the request, seconds later you will hear the slamming of pans coming from the kitchen due to the chef's anger. He always seems very nice when speaking to customers but when watching his interactions in the kitchen and reactions to servers you can tell this is a horse of a different color. Bravo to the servers for putting up with loud kids and an even louder kid in the kitchen.
Mercury In Retrograde? – What is going on here? I heard a rumor that some negative reviews had been posted about one of my favorite restaraunts. I think the new chef's menu is the best one around in years and judging from the number of people coming in the door they must think so to. The wait staff are all pleasant and amazingly patient with children and the bartender is always kind and laid-back (nice after a long day of work.) Keep up the good work, guys!

TWO Newcastle harbour trees are suspected to have been poisoned in order to improve views for residents in the prestigious Breakwater Apartments.
The "environmental vandalism" drew a strong reaction from the Hunter Development Corporation yesterday, which said trees were continually being sabotaged on the harbourside strip.
The corporation said it would look at strategies of coastal councils before deciding how to respond.
The Newcastle Herald has reported that hundreds of trees are poisoned or chopped down each year with the intention of improving views and the issue is a growing problem for councils.
Councils have responded drastically in some cases, including blocking views with screens or shipping containers. Others have offered rewards for information, with a view to prosecution.
Numerous trees on the harbourfront, which is the responsibility of development corporation and not Newcastle City Council, have had to be replaced in recent years due to vandalism.
Newcastle City Council arborists, shown a picture of the ailing Tuckeroo trees, said it was believed they were poisoned.
Trees that die of natural causes typically shed leaves.
Corporation general manager Bob Hawes said it was "beyond belief that individuals feel they have a right to destroy public assets paid for by all taxpayers".
"It is also bewildering that the same trees planted outside the Crowne Plaza are unaffected while those at the eastern end of the promenade [in front of the Breakwater Apartments] continue to suffer attacks."
