Cefic: Carbon dioxide is renewable feedstock
November 12, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
The use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a renewable resource in the chemical industry can be a key strategy to support the sustainable development and future competitiveness of the chemical sector in the European Union, Gernot Klotz, executive director/research and innovation at Cefic, said at the opening session of the recent Carbon Dioxide Utilization Summit at Brussels. "Europe can no longer afford to look at CO2 as pollution or waste to be disposed of but rather as a renewable resource for the future," he says. Klotz sees CO2 as the only renewable...

POTSDAM The committee exploring a merger of the Canton and Potsdam central school districts looked last week at what kinds of course schedules might be offered.
Looking at a handout that lists all classes now offered at both districts and classes unique to each, Douglas Hamlin, a consultant with the Western New York Educational Service Council, said a list has been compiled showing the potential offerings after a merger.
While the majority of increased offerings would come at the high school level, Canton does not currently have a middle school orchestra, and Potsdam does not offer a character education class to its sixth-grade students, Mr. Hamlin said. Also, both districts have varying offerings of technology and home and careers courses at the middle-school level.
Roger Gorham, another consultant, said even the basic schedules differ classes are 42 minutes in Canton and 40 minutes in Potsdam. Also, Canton uses four-day class cycles, while Potsdam uses a six-day cycle.
For a merged district, that is one of the logistical things that must be figured out, Mr. Gorham said.
More instrumental instruction is possible in music programs, as Canton students now dont get such lessons until fifth grade.
Potsdam begins offering band and orchestra lessons in the fourth grade, as well as jazz band in middle school as an extracurricular activity. Also offered at Potsdam as an extracurricular activity is a third- and fourth-grade chorus.
Music at the high-school level also varies, with Potsdam offering Foundation of Music and Music in Our Lives, and Canton offering Technical Theater and Music Appreciation/Music Alternatives.
Cantons select choir is a regular chorus class, while Potsdams is extracurricular. Canton does not offer orchestra, but jazz band and jazz combo are regular academic offerings. Jazz band at Potsdam, however, is an extracurricular activity.
Canton also offers a vocal jazz class and a vocal jazz ensemble.
While both districts require 22 credits to graduate, their paths to graduation can vary greatly.
For instance, Cantons art department offers Ceramics I and II and Advanced Art/Metal sculpture. Potsdams offerings include Drawing II, Drawing and Painting I and II, Photography II and Graphic Design.
The two English departments are similar, although Canton offers ninth-grade honors English and Resource ELA.
The two technology departments vary greatly, with Canton offering digital electronics, food and nutrition, and metal shop. Potsdams unique offerings include Introduction to Engineering and Design, Civil Engineering and Architecture, and Residential Structures.
Both districts foreign language curricula consist only of French and Spanish, although Potsdam offers an AP French course that Canton does not.
In the math department, Canton offers Intermediate Math, Math 9, Resource Math and Survey of Math, while Potsdam offers Algebra IIA, Financial Math, Business 101, Introduction to Marketing, and an advanced calculus class through a program in conjunction with Syracuse University.
In the science department, Canton offers agricultural science, preveterinary science and AP environmental science, while Potsdam offers Greenhouse I & II and Natural Resources Management.
The list also noted that Potsdam offers five AP courses and Canton offers eight.
Following the presentation, committee members identified several priorities they would like to see in a merged district.
Those included increased offerings and services for at-risk students, an increase in the number of challenging courses for students of all levels, an increase in the number of AP courses, starting foreign language instruction at an earlier age and placing a focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs and initiatives.

Market Month in Review - August
After July's record closes for the S&P 500, the Dow industrials, and the Russell 2000, equities melted like ice cream in August. Renewed fears of Fed tapering, anxiety about the prospect of a U.S. military strike in the Middle East, typically low late-summer trading volumes, and the potential for an eventful September combined to raise investor unease. The first two sentences of the article below sum up the volatility we saw in August. As we approach the 4th quarter of 2013 we are keeping an eye on the Fed tapering, the budget talks in Washington, the lingering conflict in Syria and the nominee to chair the Federal Reserve. Please reach out to your FineMark Professional with any questions. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
The Markets
In equities, the large-cap dividend-paying Dow industrial stocks took the brunt of the selling as investors began to eye rising interest rates in the fixed-income world. Despite a three-hour "flash freeze" in trading of Nasdaq securities, the Nasdaq's August losses left it with the month's best performance, while the Global Dow did better than its U.S. peers.
As September's highly anticipated Fed monetary policy meeting drew closer, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield soared to levels not seen in more than two years. Since bond prices move in the opposite direction from yields, bond markets generally suffered. That was particularly true for muni bonds, which also were hit by spillover anxiety after Detroit's July bankruptcy declaration. Gold gained almost $100 during the month before falling back slightly to end at just under $1,400 an ounce. Oil prices hovered around $107 a barrel for most of the month as Middle East conflicts heightened concern.
The Month in Review
- The U.S. economy grew more than previously thought in the second quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The 2.5% annualized growth in gross domestic product is substantially higher than either the initial estimate of 1.7% or Q1's 1.1% growth. An 8.6% increase in exports and imports that were lower than previously thought were the biggest factors in the GDP revisions. Business investments were up 9.9% and corporate profits rose 2.6%, while the federal sequester budget cuts contributed to a 0.9% decline in government spending. Though another revision is due in late September, this is the last GDP report before the Fed's next monetary policy meeting.
- The unemployment rate fell to 7.4% in July, its lowest level since December 2008. However, the 162,000 jobs added to the nation's payrolls during the month were far less than the 189,000 jobs averaged over the last year, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics said part of the unemployment rate's decline from June's 7.6% resulted from some discouraged workers leaving the workforce.
- Freddie Mac said the rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage continued to push upward, hitting a two-year high of 4.58%. Higher mortgage rates may have helped spur home resales in July, but they didn't seem to do the same for sales of new homes (the reverse was true in June). The National Association of Realtors® said sales of existing homes were up 6.5% for the month, but the Commerce Department reported a 13.4% drop in new homes sales. In the cities measured by the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index, home prices continued to rise, but at a slightly slower pace; June's average 2.2% gain put prices 12.1% ahead of last June. In new residential construction, the Commerce Department said construction of single-family homes slumped 2.2% in July. However, increased construction of apartment buildings helped push up housing starts by almost 6% for the month, and building permits--an indicator of future activity--rose 2.7%.
- Led by higher costs for housing, gas, clothing, and fruits and vegetables, consumer inflation rose 0.2% in July. That's less than June's 0.5% increase, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics said wholesale prices remained steady. The annual consumer inflation rate is now at 2%, while annual inflation at the wholesale level is 2.1%.
- Slower car sales hurt July retail sales, though the Commerce Department said overall retail sales still rose 0.2%. Meanwhile, the 0.1% increase in both consumer spending and personal incomes was less than in June, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
- U.S. manufacturers saw accelerating growth in July, according to the Institute for Supply Management's gauge of manufacturing activity, which rose from June's 50.9% to 55.4% (the highest reading of the year). Meanwhile, the ISM's index for the services sector soared to 56% from the previous month's 52.2%. The Federal Reserve's measure of industrial production was unchanged in July, though the Commerce Department said business productivity rose at an annualized rate of 0.9% during the second quarter.
- The Federal Open Market Committee decided not to cut its bond purchases in August, citing the potential threat of rising mortgage rates to the economy. However, the decision did little to calm speculation that the $85 billion a month now being spent might be reduced as early as September.
- China's Customs Administration said imports into the world's second-largest economy were up 11% from the previous July, while exports rose 5.1% over the year. In the United States, lower imports and higher exports cut the U.S. trade deficit by more than 22% in June to its lowest level since October 2009.
- A "flash freeze" attributed to a technical glitch left Nasdaq-traded securities in limbo for more than three hours on August 22. Also frozen was US Airways' proposed acquisition of American Airlines, as the Justice Department filed an antitrust suit seeking to block the merger that would create the world's largest airline. The Justice Department, along with the Securities and Exchange Commission, also filed civil charges of fraud against Bank of America, alleging that the bank deliberately sold residential mortgage-backed securities without fully disclosing the risks involved in the underlying loans.
Eye on the Month Ahead
September could be an eventful month for financial markets. The 800-pound gorilla is the September 18 Federal Open Market Committee meeting announcement; speculation that Fed bond purchases could be reduced at that meeting has driven bond yields up and some emerging-market currencies down in recent weeks. Renewed congressional rancor over budget deficits is likely to reappear as another deadline for raising the nation's debt ceiling approaches. Overseas, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is considered likely to be reelected, but a defeat would heighten global anxiety about the eurozone's financial stability. In Japan, a decision is scheduled on whether to implement a scheduled 3% consumption tax increase next April. Coupled with continued turmoil in the Middle East and the mid-month quadruple witching options expiration, such events could keep traders on high alert for much of September.
Key dates and data releases: U.S. manufacturing, construction spending, auto sales (9/3); balance of trade, Fed "beige book" report (9/4); U.S. services sector, business productivity/costs, factory orders (9/5); unemployment/payrolls (9/6); 10-year Treasury note auction (9/11); 30-year Treasury bond auction, Treasury budget figures (9/12); wholesale inflation, retail sales (9/13); industrial production, Empire State manufacturing survey (9/16); consumer inflation, international capital flows (9/17); Federal Open Market Committee announcement/forecasts, housing starts (9/18); home resales, Philly Fed manufacturing survey (9/19); quadruple witching options expiration (9/20); German parliamentary election (9/22); home prices (9/24); durable goods orders, new home sales (9/25); final estimate of Q2 GDP (9/26); personal incomes/spending (9/27).

A Sailor who worked in my old shop was going to try out for the Navy band and leave his then-current rating behind. He read off to me all the pre-requisities that he was required to meet. It was quite extensive. Generally the band folks stay in the background; I am not sure the Marine Corps Band was prepared to get this much publicity over an observation at the inauguration:
The controversy began when a spokesman for the Marine Corps Band who provided the musical accompaniment for the song said on Tuesday that she did not in fact sing in real time, instead opting for a pre-recorded track of the song.
Hours later, a Marine spokesman backed off the claim and insisted he didn't know one way or the other, 'no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded'.
Earlier Tuesday Master Sgt. Kristin duBois said the band was notified at the last minute that Beyoncé would use a pre-recorded voice track.
But later Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Wolf said that because there was no opportunity for Beyonce to rehearse with the Marine Band, it was determined that a live performance by the band was ill advised.
Gotta cover your tracks. . .

Stan's NoTubes 10X135 Thru Axle Conversion For 3.30/3.30 Ti Type II Rear $24.95
Expand your horizons.
For mountain bikes, quick-release skewers are rapidly going the way of the dodo. Thankfully, though, the Stan's NoTubes 10x135mm Thru Axle Conversion Type II allows you to upgrade your Stan's 3.30 Type II rear hub to a 10mm thru axle. This adds a noticeable degree of stiffness, which is especially important for both aggressive and heavier riders. So, even if your frame has traditional 135mm dropout spacing, you're still able to reap the benefits of a modern thru axle assembly.
This conversion kit allows you to convert your Stan's 3.30 Type II rear hub to a 10x135mm thru axle. That means that if you're not getting the stiffness that you need from your old-school quick-release skewer, you now have the option to run any number of 10mm thru axles.
The Type II conversion kit will only fit the Stan's Type II rear hub. So, it's important to determine which hub type you have before ordering. The older Type I hubs employ threaded end caps, while the newer Type II hubs have press-on end caps. This means that if your Stan's 3.30 rear hub has press on-end caps, and your frame has 135mm dropout spacing, this is exactly what you need to both boost the stiffness and improve the tracking on your trusty steed.
The Stan's NoTubes 10x135mm Thru Axle Conversion Type II is available in one size and the color Silver.

Kevin O'Donnell was last seen June 12 leaving his home on Heath Road in Saco.
He was reportedly wearing a navy blue t-shirt and running sneakers.

T-Mobile is going to be looking to offer new free signal boosters to their network in order to keep cell phone users such as unlocked Blackberry Bold 9780, HTC Wildfire, etc,, from playing. Over the course of the last few months since the company was sold to AT&T, and they are looking for ways to stop the bleeding in terms of their subscriber base. The move appears to be part of a new program that the company has released. They are looking to put an end to the service quality related cancellations that have been running rampant over the course of the last few months. They have become a significant problem within the company, and even though it looks as though they are going to be acquired pending legal look over of the process, it is not currently clear what the company is going to be able to do in order to stop this out flux of their users.
Many other users are canceling their service to the poor coverage in their own home. This is something that was first leaked to the press when an internal e-mail was released that stated that this was one of the country's biggest problems. The memo that was leaked also warned that they should not be offering signal boosters to customers when they are looking to close the sale. In order to get the signal booster the customers will need to open a new two-year service contract, which suggests that they are looking to keep these customers from canceling their service and are looking to get going on long term. It will certainly be interesting to see if they were going to be able to keep the customers from leaving as a result of that poor service in their own home T-Mobile was acquired by AT&T, but it looks as though this could not go through as the courts are looking into whether or not the acquisition was legal.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Political jitters in Spain and Italy hammered European stocks Monday, with sovereign-bond yields rallying in those countries, while investors also digested mixed data from China and the United States.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, +0.33% slumped 1.5% to 283.90, closing at its lowest level in 2013.
The Bill Gross recipe for profits
The manager of the world's largest bond fund explains why he likes inflation-protected securities and bonds from two nations south of the border.
"European markets had a tremendous run in the last few weeks and you would expect some sort of correction," said Alastair Winter, chief economist at Daniel Stewart Securities in London. "There are so many problems in Europe and I suspect that other people are starting to see that too.
"German bond yields are falling and that suggests that people are getting scared. They kicked the can down road with the problems in Europe, but they haven't fixed it. I think it's very scary to be heavily involved" in Spain and Italy. "They have great companies, but to buy a whole market or bonds in those countries is pretty scary," he added.
Shares of Royal Imtech NV IM, +0.00% sank 48% in Amsterdam after the infrastructure company said it would take a write-down of at least 100 million euros ($135.7 million) on its Polish projects as it investigates "possible irregularities." It also said that its 2012 earnings statement scheduled for tomorrow would be delayed.
Shares of heavyweight Vodafone Group PLC VOD, +0.93% VOD, -0.28% shaved off 1.7%. Citigroup cut the wireless-telecom carrier's rating to neutral from buy, highlighting near-term revenue pressure and elevated acquisition risks.
On a more upbeat note, shares of Swatch Group AG UHR, +1.55% picked up 5% after the world's largest watchmaker reported a 26% increase in full-year profit and said it had gotten off to a healthy start in 2013. See: Swatch 2012 net up 26%; Growth seen continuing.
Investors also looked to China, where weekend data showed the services sector expanded for a fourth straight month in January. The nonmanufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index edged to 56.2 from 56.1 in the final month of 2012. A reading above 50 signals expansion. See: China's services sector expands in January.
Most Asia markets closed in positive territory. Read more about Asia markets.
U.S. stocks traded lower on Wall Street, retreating after the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.20% last week topped 14,000 for the first time in more than five years. See: U.S. stocks retreat from five-year highs.
On the data front in the States, the Commerce Department said factory orders rose 1.8% in December, below expectations of a 2.3% improvement. See: U.S. factory orders advance 1.8% in December.
Italy, Spain jitters
Back in Europe, Italian shares came under heavy selling pressure as Silvio Berlusconi gained in opinion polls after he vowed to reduce taxes if the former prime minister's coalition wins elections later this month, stoking fears that the country will diverge from its current reformist drive.
"Berlusconi is the complete death for other European leaders and the thought of him spoiling a clean result in Italy scares people," according to Winter from Daniel Stewart Securities. "The other thing is that he has let the genie out of the bottle and asked why Italy should stay in the euro."

There are also three lenses made of ED glass with extremly low dispersion factor.
Technologically, 12mm NCS CS lens is the most advanced device branded with Samyang logo.
Samyang 12mm 1:2.0 NCS CS is another (alongside with Samyang 10mm) lens with nanocrystal antireflective coating applied. This time, however, the NCS coating covers two lens elements. This type of coating gives smaller refflection factor than (U)MC layers and ideally sits on the lens element's surface due to the very application process. Benefits of using the nanocrystal cover, include: much better light transmission, higher resistance to reflecitons, and higher contrast, which adds to optical resolution of the lens.
Samyang 12mm 1:2.0 NCS CS is a perfect lens for landscape photography and can be useful in interior and architecture photography or astrophotography. The product comes with a removable lens hood and 67mm filter mount. Its light weight (245g) and compact shapes make it a perfect solution for mirrorless cameras of smaler sizes. After you connect it to a camera with APS-C sensor its field of vision will correspond to the small image lens with the focal length of 18mm. Thanks to this feature combined with the aperture of 2.0, the lens is a perfect additional to non-full frame cameras.
Technical details:
Apertures range: F2.0-F22
Optical construction: 12 lenses in 10 groups (2 aspherical lenses)
Image format: APS-C Mirrorless/CS
Minimum focusing distance: 0.2m
Filter mount: 67mm
Number of aperture blades: 6
Maximum diameter: 72.5mm
Warranty: 36 months
12mm lens will be available for Fuji, Sony E, Canon M, Micro 4/3 and Samsung NX mounts.

Energy efficiency programs are a win-win because they help families and businesses lower their energy bills while at the same time reducing harmful pollution for everyone. The Alliance is very proud to have worked on energy efficiency issues for the past 28 years.
Energy Smart: New Orleans' Energy Efficiency Program
Energy Smart, an $11 million energy efficiency rebate program, is a homerun for the New Orleans City Council. The Alliance worked for many years to make this program a reality. Implementation began in spring 2011 and will run through spring 2014. We are monitoring the implementation of the program and continue to offer guidance to the City Council on program adjustments to increase the reach of energy efficiency improvements. The next step is to make Energy Smart a permanent and comprehensive program by incorporating Energy Smart into the city's Integrated Resource Plan and then building in funding for the program through the next rate case in 2014.
Statewide Energy Efficiency Programs
The Alliance has been working diligently to bring Energy Smart-like programs to the rest of Louisiana. The first step in the process is to pass the Energy Efficiency Phase I docket at the Louisiana Public Service Commission. Phase I will give the utilities enough direction to create and implement energy efficiency programs over the first two years. The Alliance will be working with the Commission to begin Energy Efficiency Phase II, which will provide the structure for long term, comprehensive programs for all rate classes, including low/fixed income bill payers.
Integrated Resource Planning – the Key to Long-term Energy Efficiency
Integrated Resource Plan policy directs utility companies to put energy efficiency on equal footing with typical forms of energy production, like coal plants, when allocating resources to meet energy needs. The IRP will increase transparency and enable regulators to shift towards cleaner ways of generating energy. Done well, these plans guide the way to lower waste and utility bills for Louisiana families and businesses. The Alliance succeeded in getting good integrated resource plan rules passed in New Orleans and the State, now we are making sure these plans work for rate-payers. The Alliance is an intervener on the IRP docket in New Orleans and is actively participating in the development of the plan. We are making sure that energy efficiency is sufficiently integrated into the plan. At the state level, utilities will begin the IRP process in fall, 2013 and the Alliance will be at the table representing bill-payers.
Valuing Energy Efficiency
Act 504 passed by the Louisiana Legislature requires appraisers to include energy efficiency in the appraised value of a building. Unfortunately the law did not specify how. The Alliance has been working with the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors and Energy Raters to create guidance to appraisers. In the short term, we are recommending that appraisers look at the past two years of energy bills as a guide as well as conducting a professional energy rating on the building. In the long term, we are looking to "green" the multiple listing service to include energy efficiency features to allow appraisers to determine comparable energy efficiency properties.
Rater Roundtable
The Rater Roundtable is a partnership between the Alliance for Affordable Energy and CORE USA. The monthly roundtables are setup by CORE USA and help at the Alliance's office. These meetings give the Rater Community opportunity to discuss openly their work and with an end goal to provide better rating services to the community as a whole. Find related blog posts.

While dating has been a big part of my NB, it wasn't where I started, and certainly hasn't been the only thing.
I thought we could all share some of the non-dating NB stuff we have done or are doing, as encouragement to newer members or lurkers in NB that there is a lot of awesome stuff that goes on in healing, not just dating.
Starting during separation, my first step of NB was nesting. I got all new furniture and hung my own style of artwork on the walls (XH was anti art-on-the-walls).
Later, I started to paint again, and started taking dance classes, which was an old hobby I used to love. Now I go dancing at least once a week!
Also during S, I traveled quite a bit; much more than XH and I would have been able to afford with his spending habits. I went to Chicago, NYC, Michigan, Arizona, and spent a considerable amount of time up in Baltimore. It was awesome!
I also just submitted my application to go back to school and do some post-grad work that will build on the job I currently have. I'm nervously waiting for my transcripts to all get there, but excited about the possibilities this will open.
So...what about you? What non-dating NB have you had?

I picked up another MA. This one in education (still didn't help job-wise, though. Small city, low pop state, stay at home dad for nine years- a tough nut to crack)
Took another coaching job- makes three. Took on more classes at the college- now I am full time adjunct. Substitute taught a few times, too.
Made some new friends. They are nice and fun to do things with- I do feel odd being the only unmarried one.
Revived my favorite hobby (building simple things with wood).
Revived skiing because my littles go every week in winter.
Tried to train for a 5 K- and will try again- running is horribly painful. Would rather swim 20,000 yards than run walk for a half hour.
Read several pulpy book series.
Hooked myself on some television shows, too (never really watched before).
In next couple of weeks, I start a new business. My office is a 28 sec. meander from my front door, I can work much of it at home, and don't have to give up other gigs for awhile. The best part is I don't have to alter my summer time with the littles very much. And, it is all supplemental income because I already can cover all expenses. I hope it works out. I am tired of living poverty line.(should have taken the alimony)
I am going to actually buy something for me, a kayak, this spring so I can take on another hobby (if I can keep from talking myself out of spending the money). And, I am finally going to get lasik eye surgery (been wanting to for ten years) if I can keep from talking myself out of spending the money.
Gluing life back together after all of this has been a difficult road. But one foot in front of the other, eh.
thanks for the thread. It felt good to actually write this out.
On a side note- my walls are covered in the art work of my littles. Makes my seven days without them easier to handle.

Also started doing yoga, but that got too expensive to maintain.
Then I repainted every room in my taste.
I refinanced and bought him out of the house.
I lost 30 lbs.
I took up running and now love it.
I became happy once more.
I have travelled to Asia twice with the kids and this summer we are heading to the USA (we are British and living in Germany). Ex hated travelling and we love it.
My kids and I regrouped and became a solid, happy family.. Just us 3. We call ourselves the dreamteam.
The kids have healed.
I have healed.
I learnt how to put down boundaries with the ex and he now behaves like a good little boy. He knows his days of bullying are over and he now bends over backwards to behave around me.
I fell in love with a new guy and experienced a healthy relationship! He had to PCS, I detached beautifully (thanks SI) I survived :)
I discovered Internet "meeting".
I have laughed so very much.
I have learnt how to do home maintenance.
I bought a brand new car and have kept on top of looking after it.
All 3 of us have survived and thrived.
I joined a single parents group. The group was useless but I made a great friend so we started our own 2 person support group complete with loads of gossiping and wine
I am happier than at any other time in my adult life.
On D Day I decided to seize the day and use this a a chance to change my life (hence my user name).
It has been the worst of times and the best of times.
And I now look back on D Day with gratitude as my life is 1000 times happier than 2 years ago.
Infidelity need not be the end of the world it can be the beginning of a whole new and better life.
Edited: I was on my iphone and making a mess of this so finished it on the laptop.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
If I went to Hogwarts, my Patronus would be my Big Sister - GWADW
I've made a list of things I would like to pursue. Things like learning about wine and photography (I've got a fancy digital camera and don't know how to really use it).
I've updated my wardrobe - that was fun!
Divorced 1/17/2013

I am reading again. I put it on the back burner for some time since I was always too busy, but I have actually been enjoying works that I have been meaning to get to.
I have actually been taking better care of me. I take more pride in my appearance, especially at work. I am finally getting rid of junky old clothing that I've kept for forever.
In my moving process, I have cleared out TONS of junk. I cleaned out my book collection and helped my kids do the same with theirs. We cleaned out the toy box and got rid of all the unused and broken toys. I am preparing a pile of useless stuff to take to the Goodwill. It's liberating to think about how much less will be moving with me.
There is more that I'd like to do, but I'm still stuck in limbo, and STBX is never really around to watch the kids (unless I put in a specific request because I have plans). I'm hoping that will change once I move and our official visitation set up begins. Then, I can fill those weekends with whatever I want!

Exploring a new business venture with some talented women friends.
Painted and redecorated a couple of rooms the way I wanted to (no consultations with grumpy spouse necessary-yea)
Landscaping my yard the way I wanted to (see above parenthesis)
Singing in my church choir.
Cooking new foods that ex wouldn't have even tried--vegetarian, Thai, anything other than the BORING meat and potatoes dishes he would eat. Making dinner for and with friends.
Spending time with friends when I want to for as long as I want to. I have more time to nurture old friendships and to make new friendships.
Eating better, exercising more, taking fitness classes
Bought sexy lingerie.
Learned home maintenance and hot tub maintenance skills.
I absolutely love not having to check in with anyone about anything! I absolutely love going to do things I want to do when I want to do them. I absolutely love not having to put up with someone else's bad mood!
Learned to love and value myself again!
Learned how strong I really am!
This thread has helped me realize I still need to
make a list of other things I would like to pursue--and do them, not just think of them. A new beginning can become a new way of living!
Finishing up all the half-baked projects that my WH left. The one I'm proudest of so far is refinishing my kitchen cabinets. I got to pick the color and the knobs that I wanted!
Repainting every room in this house a lighter color. WH was into dark and dramatic. But now everything is lighter and brighter
I was a runner and marathoner before. But now I have a new found zeal for training. My pace has picked up by roughly 2 min/mile since D-day. I'm running the Chicago Marathon this fall and I'm thinking I'm going to have a very good time
And finally, I've started to get job apps in. Looking to teach again.
The type of fierce loyalty that I possess made me incapable of comprehending the level of disloyalty that he possessed
I have re-established contact with some great friends, and joined a gym.
I created a new life for myself. It's so much better.
Also started doing yoga, but that got too expensive to maintain
LA Fitness-$25/month; other gyms are probably comparable. Once you get the hang of it, you do it on your own; videos are excellent but I don't recommend practicing alone until you've worked with a yogi for a while.
My NB:
New home
Old dogs (retrieved from the X)
New job
New furniture
Old hobbies (that I didn't have time for while M)
New Friends (SI)
Old Friends (renewed friendships that the X has eschewed)
All good
Lost 80 pounds
Joined meet up groups-book clubs,game nights
Planning more vacations-taking 1 next month with my daughter
We (kids and i) have cut expenses by a huge amount and had so much fun together going places and just hanging out. I am doing more with friends and goals for next year is getting house stuff done and then perhaps the year after buying a new house. Oh I forgot that I really-financed the house on my own which due to rates so low right now I cut my mortgage in half!
I am looking forward to having fun in my nb and exploring things for myself again.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — As Americans and football fans over the world gather in front of their TVs to watch the San Francisco 49ers face off against the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans on Sunday, there is one factoid that investors might want to keep in mind.
In 1995, when the 49ers won the Super Bowl, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both rallied 34% for the year.
The last time Baltimore Ravens took home the trophy was in 2001 when they beat the New York Giants 34 to 7. But alas, the stock market did not fare so well that year in the wake of the terrorist attack on the U.S. and the S&P fell 13% while the Dow shed 7%.
Aside from the star-packed halftime show and commercials that cost more to produce than some indy movies, Super Bowl XLVII also features an NFL version of family feud, pitting Coach John Harbaugh of the Ravens against his younger brother Jim, who coaches the 49ers.
Pundits so far have given San Francisco an edge over Baltimore and while Ravens fans many not appreciate the reference, the S&P 500 and the Dow both have had a strong start to the year and closed out the week stronger, thanks in part to positive earnings from the likes of Caterpillar Inc. CAT, -0.47% and Yahoo Inc. YHOO, -1.58%
The Dow DJIA, -0.29% rose 149.21 points, or 1.1%, to 14,009.79, its first close above 14,000 for the first time in five years on a more optimistic outlook on the economy. The S&P 500 SPX, -0.68% index gained 15.06 points, or 1%, to 1,513.17 while the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.87% climbed 36.97 points, or 1.2%, to 3,179.09.
Check back with MarketWatch.com this weekend for real-time financial news as well as updates on Harbaugh vs Harbaugh.
Meanwhile, here's a quick look ahead on what to expect next week.

U.S. economy shrinks 0.1% in fourth quarter
The U.S. economy shrank in the fourth quarter for the first time since the recession but there is no reason to panic, economists said. Gross domestic product contracted by 0.1%, compared with 3.1% growth in the third quarter, but the economy remains on path to a mild growth if unusual factors are stripped out.

CANTON Children are unleashing their inner Edison this week at Camp Invention, a science-themed day camp for children in grades one through six at SUNY Canton.
The week began with the students taking apart everyday devices such as computers to see how they work.
Children participate in activities such as Launchitude, designing makeshift catapults to fling a rubber duck as far as they can. In Cache Dache they discuss real-world problems from around the globe that can be solved with science.
Science is magic at the first-grade level, said camp director Melissa A. Kirby, a teacher at Madrid-Waddington Central School.
Camp Invention is a national organization that provides the camp theme, curriculum and activities to educators.
SUNY Canton is hosting two sessions of the camp this year, with the first in full swing this week.
The theme is Geoquest, combining geography and science education.
Its fun. Theres a lot of different activities you can do, said Noah G. Bohl, 11, of Potsdam, as he waited to test out his teams plastic foam catapult.
The activities are designed to get young children engaged in science and critical thinking, learning to apply themselves to realistic problems while having fun.
This is the first stage in the process, and hopefully theyll go on to become scientists and inventors, Ms. Kirby said.
The camp came to Canton for the first time in 2011, when SUNY Canton Associate Professor Ronald J. Tavernier Jr. started looking for a day camp for his own children.
I wanted something that was educational, and not sports-related, he said. He worked with other St. Lawrence County educators to bring Camp Invention to the area.
Even though he now teaches biology, Mr. Tavernier said he hated science growing up. He said he hopes this camp shows children there is more to it than just boring classwork.
Ms. Kirby said the childrens ingenuity has impressed her ever since the camp began.
Some of the things Ive learned are the amazing things that kids can come up with all on their own, she said.
This year, about 45 children signed up for each week of the camp. The second week starts Monday, and signups are still being accepted. The cost is $225 per child.
More information can be found online at www.campinvention.org.

Luhrs Performing Arts Center
Facilities Management and Planning
Dear Ship Faculty, Students, Alumni and Friends,
The end of the Fall Semester and the calendar year is an appropriate time to first wish all of you a very happy holiday, reflect on some of our many successes at the university, and to discuss budgetary issues that will challenge the university in the coming months.
While we have many successes, two of the most important have to do with accreditations that are an important measure of our ability to offer quality programs to students.
The university also continues to reach out to the community in many venues.
Even as we continue our successes, we face challenges and none is more pressing than the one we all face as our nation struggles with an economy that is trying to recover from unprecedented changes. The PASSHE Board of Governors agreed to set aside money from this year's state appropriation. For Shippensburg, this means approximately $1.5 million that we will defer spending until a clearer picture on state revenues is available.
Even with that deferral, we will try as hard as we can not to make any significant changes in what we do or how we do it. We will have enough faculty to fill our class schedule for the Spring 2009 semester, we will provide support services needed by students and faculty, and we will work to maintain the high quality of our facilities and campus.
We can to do this because of our fiscally conservative approach to budgeting. I have asked each vice president to again review their budgets while still maintaining the essential services of their respective divisions. This will be a challenge, we will have to manage our resources carefully, and we will have some pain, but this will be a challenge I know that each of us will be able to accomplish. And, collectively the Ship family will make it through this together.
Even before the economy changed in recent weeks, the university was already saving money. An energy conservation system implemented several years ago has - and will continue to - save money in utility bills even as coal and natural gas increase in cost. And, we will be truing the heat back over the holiday break to 55 degrees - a move that we hope will save us $15,000.
As a former business college dean, I have watched the economy professionally for many years. I won't make any prediction as to where the economy will go, but I can promise that Shippensburg University will continue to make the most appropriate and efficient use of all resources provided to us by the citizens of Pennsylvania. If you have any suggestions as to ways for us to make even more efficient use of our resources, please contact me.
Thank you for being part of Ship, best wishes for a joyous holiday season, and I look forward to a great 2009.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR's season-opening race was so wild and bizarre Saturday night that even the pace car caught on fire.
And that's no joke.
MORE: Big wreck during Unlimited | Dale and Danica | Petty speaks again
Pace car driver Brett Bodine, a former NASCAR Cup driver, was leading the field under caution on Lap 55 when he suddenly veered off the track with the car smoking. The rear of the Chevrolet SS pace car then caught on fire, forcing Bodine and another NASCAR official to bail out.
Pace car on fire at #SprintUnlimited! pic.twitter.com/nDgSZLftmF
— FOX Sports Live (@FOXSportsLive) February 16, 2014
Chevrolet issued a statement Sunday morning on the embarrassing incident:
"The pace car experienced a fire in the trunk area, which contains a purpose-built auxiliary electrical kit to operate the numerous caution lights during the race," Chevrolet said in a statement. "The pace car driver and passenger safely exited the vehicle. An assessment is underway."
It was just two years ago that NASCAR made national headlines when driver Juan Pablo Montoya slammed into a jet dryer during the Daytona 500, igniting a huge explosion and fireball.
The drivers couldn't believe what they were seeing as the circled the track under caution.
"I thought it was a racecar," said Brad Keselowski, who famously tweeted photos of the jet dryer fire two years ago. "Somebody told me it was the pace car and I just started laughing."
The incident continued a series of bizarre incidents in NASCAR races. A TV cable broke during last year's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, damaging several cars and injuring fans.
"When you think you've seen it all," Keselowski quipped. "It's never ending. I don't know what to expect in the Daytona 500."
He should have driving a Camry," Toyota driver Denny Hamlin quipped.
Hamlin, who won the race, said he saw the car catch on fire.
"I saw smoke and I thought he had a right rear going down, honestly," Hamlin said. "I thought it was tire smoke until I saw flames. Brett was then on a mission to find the emergency vehicle."
The pace car fire during Saturday night's Sprint Unlimited came just 20 laps after a huge crash that wiped out seven cars and top drivers Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and others.

ALEXANDRIA BAY Although River Hospital Foundation gave its namesake hospital $150,000 toward the purchase of digital mammography equipment in 2012, it ended up not being enough to make the purchase.
Andrea C. Bates, the foundations executive director of development, said the quote soared to $300,000 because additional components were needed.
We continued the campaign for digital mammography, she said. We wanted to do one last appeal. Were working toward that machine because we know it will be a huge asset to have that here.
The original quote, she said, was $150,000.
The February 2012 Polar Bear Dip, sponsored by Friends of River Hospital, raised $55,000 for the campaign and the foundations 2011 year-end annual appeal and fundraisers throughout 2012 collected $95,000.
So far for the 2012 year-end appeal, $30,000 has been raised. Mrs. Bates said the goal is to raise $40,000 or more this time around.
It will continue to trickle in, she said. As long as gifts come in, well continue with it.
Mrs. Bates said physicians have been encouraging their patients to have digital mammographies because it allows for more early and accurate diagnoses.
Something else that will continue from the 2011 year-end appeal, she said, is communication with community members.
People are getting to be more aware of services we have, and theyre beginning to realize all our hospital has to offer, Mrs. Bates said. People hear these things and look forward to coming here.
She said the foundation is working on developing fundraisers and how they will benefit the hospital throughout 2013.
Contributions to the foundations 2012 year-end appeal may be made over the phone by calling the foundation at 482-4976. Checks or cash may be dropped off at the agency, 3 James St. Checks should be made payable to River Hospital Foundation, with annual report in the memo line. Checks may be mailed to the foundation at River Hospital Foundation, P.O. Box 567, Alexandria Bay, N.Y. 13607.
Donations also may be made online through the foundations website, www.river hospitalfoundation.org.

The book follows the hierarchy from basic control, through advanced regulatory control, up to and including multivariable control. It addresses many process-specific applications including those on fired heaters, compressors and distillation columns.
Written with the practicing control engineer in mind, the book:
- Brings together proven design methods, many of which have never been published before
- Focuses on techniques that have an immediate practical application
- Minimizes the use of daunting mathematics – but for the more demanding reader, complex mathematical derivations are included at the end of each chapter
- Covers the use of all the algorithms, common to most distributed control systems
This book raises the standard of what might be expected of even basic controls. In addition to the design methods it describes any shortcuts that can be taken and how to avoid common pitfalls. Proper application will result in significant improvements to process performance.
Myke King's practical approach addresses the needs of the process industry, and will improve the working practices of many control engineers.
"This book would be of value to process control engineers in any country." – Mr Andrew Ogden-Swift, Chairmain, Process Management and Control Subject Group, Institution of Chemical Engineers, UK
"This book should take the process-control world by storm." – Edward Dilley, Lecturer in Process Control, ESD Simulation Training

LISBON – The Town Council is hosting a public forum today at 6:15 p.m. at the Town Hall to discuss changing town law to allow the code enforcement officer to sign off on plans for single family dwellings without consulting the Planning Board.
Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong said the proposed law came about after speaking with members of the Planning Board and Code Enforcement Officer Christopher J. Sherwin.
Councilwoman Susan M. Duffy said Tuesday she is not happy about the proposed change to the law because it does not lift the requirement that single-family home must be built on land at least one acre in size and does not give Mr. Sherwin the ability to approve plans for multiple residences on a single property.
We need to get serious about how were dealing with things, Ms. Duffy said.
Ms. Duffy said the Planning Board should only be responsible for reviewing business site plans.
Under the current framework, the Planning Board give final approval to building plans Mr. Sherwin has deemed permissible.
To me its a waste of time to have volunteers come out and look at a permit that the code officer has already approved, Ms. Duffy said.
Ms. Duffy said she wants as many residents as possible to show up to the public forum.
Its a call to action; we need residents in the community to have a voice there. We need to hear from this town, she said.
