I scream. I scream because the kindness hurts. It hurts to realize how I was living and I didn't even know how bad it was. It hurts because I allowed him to treat me like that. It hurts because I am seeing what love is, what it feels like and realizing that I never had that. It hurts because I took his words and believed them about myself.
This ^^^ is how I felt when I met my now husband. I have always said he was like a breath of fresh air and a slap in the face all at the same time.
And I can so relate to the cooking. I LOVE to cook! And XNPDH would taste, criticize and complain about everything I made. As if he was some food critic! And I am a GOOD COOK!! Farm girl, I make everything from scratch. But he had me questioning myself.
New husband came along and the first bite of everything I have ever put in front of the man I hear, "Oh my God! This is so delicious!!" And I could feed him the EXACT same thing for the next week and I would still get compliments!
Still to this day (12 years later) I am still thinking "WTF was I thinking???"
ChoosingHope, you have an awesome day in court today! May he run his big fat mouth during the entire hearing!! And may you be cool as a cucumber.

I've been ruminating about FOO issues, XH and XSO. Lots of minor triggers last week... and not sleeping well has my defenses down. I'm not contacting but thinking.
I always look for the why, the patterns, the similar paths. Always in the hope of not repeating the same mistakes. Sometimes there is no why... it just is. UGGH.
Back to turtling hoping for some breakthroughs that make the light bulb go off.
Giving everyone hugs,
WH is harassing me and sort of hysterically (by that I mean scary, not funny) hoovering. There are 14 emails between yesterday and today, and three phone calls. He's found the key is to need to talk about the kids, and then jumps in with his other BS. The kids' birthdays are coming up, and apparently he has to work one angle at a time. All of this because he is not getting what he wants this coming weekend. (Wow, thanks for being here so I could type that and see it clearly.) I feel so unprepared for all of this and worried about where he's going to take it.
Oh, and out of curiosity (he hoovers very prettily) I checked the email account he did give me the password to, and he's been emailing CL "ladies" too. Ironically, on the same day he emailed me about how he's so proud that he hasn't been doing anything he shouldn't.
I did cuss him out really well last night, about how I don't like how he's treating me, how it makes me sick, and how he needs to leave me alone. His response? Two emails before bed that I haven't read, but had titles that were apologetic. I want to NC him so hard that he doubts his existence.
ETA - hugs back K, I hope sleep finds you again soon. I also get sucked into looking for patterns and trying to understand why.
I'm also hoping ChoosingHope has a much better day than expected.

D-Day: Too many in 17 years of marriage. LAST time 10/17/2013.
NC is really the only way to go in your situation. It's really difficult, especially when you have to discuss children. But allowing him to "bait" you into an arguement or chewing him out is sometimes just the attention they thrive. Practice makes perfect. And you will soon find that ignoring him and his insults will make you begin to feel very empowered.
I've been having FOO issues of my own. I sometimes think that because I was raised in such a messed up family, my "normal" guage was off. Maybe that's why I made some of the poor choices I have in my life.
I have a sister who is a Borderlline and a complete nightmare. She tells horrible lies about other people as a means to get others to like her. Right now, I am her target. My other family members "don't want to get in the middle of it".
I've been checking all day to see if CH has posted. I hope everything went well for her.
Foo issues, don't you think that is a big part of why we got involved with and stayed so long with abusive partners? I know it is for me.
Sadtoo, the comment about the "normal" gauge. I have said that for years, before I ever knew about any of this.
I always said that I didn't know what was abusive or mean until after it was too late to challenge it. I said that my angry gauge was broken and it didn't register until after the house burned down.
Struggling so damn hard with no contact. I know it is the best thing for me. I have to keep reminding myself over and over that I do not miss him. He was never real. I miss the imaginary man.
The one thing that still causes the sharp feeling of panic and disbelief is realizing it was all a lie. I never knew him. The man I knew never existed. It is so mind twisting.
I remember right after dday #1 the dramatic shift, the total shutdown, when I found this site. That is where my name came from, I just could not accept the seemingly total cut off, total discard, it made no sense to me, it seemed insane as if I had just walked into the Twilight Zone, now I see I was just beginning to leave it.
Still fighting my way out.
I would now like to be known as Can!

Divorced 8/5/14
Last night I was too exhausted to write anything. In short, it did not go well. The last judge really cared, and she saw through Genius. The new judge immediately attacked my attorneys by asking why this case was going on for so long. He then attacked the custody evaluator, saying that he has now messed up two cases by not producing the report in a timely fashion -
He was one angry judge, right off the bat.
I think I posted about my anguish over the delays in the final custody report. I was supposed to be divorced in January. Now, thanks to the delays, my trial has been moved to the last days in May. It has cost me tens (and tens) of thousands of dollars that I have borrowed from my family. I cannot sell the marital home now; I will miss the selling season; my children have nowhere decent to go to school next year - I need to move to get them into a decent public school district. Plus my parents are paying the mortgage, and it is really beginning to hurt them.
So it's been devastating. On the one hand it's somehow comforting to know that the evaluator is doing this to everyone -not just me, so it doesn't mean that he can't make up his mind about my case or something. On the other hand, the judge sounds biased against the evaluator now. And of course I have no idea what will be in the report because I (and the judge) have no faith in the evaluator.
Anyhow, my attorney who is usually very sharp, sort of butted heads with the judge who just wanted short, concise answers to the delays.
The judge said he didn't read through all the notes from the previous judge, and was furious that we were still asking for outstanding Discovery items from Genius. He kept saying things like, "WHY do you need those 15 checks???" (We need them b/c we have been at trial for two years, and Genius still hasn't told us how much money he makes!) But my lawyer couldn't seem to articulate this simple notion, and the judge was just annoyed.
On the other hand, Genius acted like a lunatic. At one point he claimed he made nearly a million dollars in the past two years. (In reality, he's hardly making any money at all, and everyone involved assumes he won't even be making enough to pay me ANY CS within a few years.) Then he insulted my attorney by saying, "Well you can walk and chew gum at the same time . . . "
The judge's mouth fell open, and he was FURIOUS and he said angrily that comments like that were NOT called for.
I nearly started to cry when I heard about the new trial date. I felt my old familiar feelings of intense SHAME filling me up. My friend told me that the galley was filled with people rolling their eyes and laughing at us. I didn't speak, but still and all . . . it was the usual circus.
The judge has to go back and rule on a few things. Hopefully he will read some of the notes and filings and motions from the old judge and start to understand the case.
In short, he seems annoyed that us losers can't get our acts together and figure this out ourselves. And I understand this!!! On the other hand, he basically told Genius that key logger accusations aren't relevant in a divorce case. (Genius said he will pursue them in civil and criminal court - good luck.) So in the best possible world, I hope that the child custody report comes out strongly in favor of me and that we can keep the trial short and factual and to-the-point. And hopefully Genius will drive him nuts and hang himself. That's all I can pray for at this point.
I am thinking such bad thoughts now - thinking of Anne Lamott: "I thought such awful thoughts that I cannot even say them out loud because they would make Jesus want to drink gin straight out of the cat dish"
I wish I could try to answer some of your recent posts, sorry this is all about ME. Just so tired and need to rest so I can continue to fight this maniac. Lots of thoughts on FOO, but too exhausted to think too closely about them.
Sorry this is so long. God, why did I marry this evil person?
Oh yeah, probably FOO issues.
Ands lots of them.

And CH, I too spent 10's of 1000's of $. At the time, it made me sick. But looking back it was money WELL SPENT.
Your STBXNPDH sounds like as big an idiot as mine! Claiming he's made $1M in the last two years? Hmmm...that makes for a nice child support and alimony payment.
I hope that by the time your next hearing your judge catches up on the notes. My guess (and hope) is he/she will.
Hang in there! You can do this.
[This message edited by sadtoo at 10:28 PM, February 26th (Wednesday)]
Sadtoo, yes, I was shocked that the judge went after my attorney instead of Genius. Thank you for sharing your story - it makes sense. We requested the child custody eval, and we wasted three days of his time in January. We had a three-day trial scheduled, and we had to request a continuance because the evaluator didn't complete the report.
So he was mad. I get it.
I hope I'm not being a pollyanna, but I'm hoping that evaluator will produce a report in favor of me. And that we can wrap things up quickly in this judge's courtroom. In many ways, he might help me: he is not going to let Genius derail the case with his usual random accusations. As a no-nonsense criminal judge, I have to imagine that he will require proof of any crazy accusations. And that he will stick to two things: custody and finances.
A judge like this ***MIGHT*** be the kiss of death for this NPD, who thrives on creating chaos and uncertainty, and who can't follow rules, and who answers everything with a new crazy accusation or histrionic crying. This judge does not seem like he will tolerate any of this.
But who knows. One day at a time.
(((HUGS to all))) and thank you, Kajem and cantaccept too.
(((QuakingAspen))) I've been through the CL hookup thing too. It's gross, and it's the opposite of everything good and real in this world. Feel free to PM or ask any questions here. Please be careful and strategic. I agree with the No Contact advice. If Caregiver is around, she can also give you some very good advice about laying low and letting them think that they are winning. I am not very good at this; it goes against my nature. Please hang in, and no matter what, please don't leave this thread - it will help you so much in the long run. -Hope

I completely agree with this.
My first judge was very wishy-washy. XNPDH would make his wild accusation about property he "owned" prior to our marriage and hearing after hearing he would be required to provide proof of that "ownership." He never had it. And the judge would always give him another 6 weeks! I couldn't believe it! It was maddening.
My next judge was very cut-throat and no bullshit. I was scared at first, but he proved to be a friend to me. I was organized and had my documents prepared. Dumbass....well, not so much.
It is like coming home. This has been a difficult week for me with work (teacher) and some kids in serious emotional crisis. I feel like I fell behind here! But I love the community feel and reading here makes me feel "grounded" and connected.
Glad to see sadtoo still offering such positive and genuine advice. I get all sentimental at that constant act of kindness!
CH, this judge sounds perfect. Remember, you are used to reacting to how things effect your NPD and the status quo. This judge chewed your attorneys out because of everyone in the courtroom, they are the only ones "benefiting" from the delay... ya know? So on the off chance they don't have a fire lit to "get on with it" this judge was actually advocating FOR YOU. Brusque is good. Pissy with the way things have been going is good. Try not to take it personally. Those are NPD installed reactions. Take that leap of faith and wait for the landing. It doesn't have to be a crash landing.
QA, remember that cussing him out is kibble. His brand of hoovering is based in what he believes works/has worked in the past. Also, an NPD who is feeding his ego on CL, can afford to be "nicer" to you.
You sound so strong and stable. Way to go girl!!
Glad you survived the court appearance. Didn't sound fun at all.
I think I'm going to be fairly fortunate with my WH. He WANTS to be rid of me, he is just arguing with me about a few things...I think trying to keep his foot in the door....but he hasn't had an attorney advise him yet...so perhaps when someone besides me says, "you can't do that", he will believe them.
For example:
You can't have visitation with the kids at my residence.
You can't come over and mow my grass.
You can't come over and put up Christmas decorations on my house.
You can't open a separate bank account and start banking money so you can afford to move out.
You don't want to stay on the mortgage just because your kids are living here, you won't be able to buy your own house so they can come visit YOU.
Ohh, and
"Hypocrisy is the tribute
vice pays to virtue"
jj, I'm sorry, but my brain is too fried to try and figure out what the bleep that means. I think it means, yes, hippocracy is part of NPD. But if you could explain that in plain language so that after I memorize I can spout it off with great flair and confidence and then explain myself in infinite detail, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I see stuff like this. A friend posted in on FB.
And STBX never did any of that. He didn't even show up at the hospital until I was well into labor even though I was blowing up his phone.
While I was laboring, I remember him coming in and saying something about the nurses saying that "You are still right here" I thought "Well, where am I going to be, I am hooked up to a bazillion monitors and can't go anywhere!" He made it seem like they were insinuating that I should be moving. But now I think he was the one making that insinuation.
He left me less than 24 hour after to go to the firehouse and work a shift. He never spent the night with me in the hospital.
I was bedridden for the first day or so and couldn't even lift my baby out of her bassinet. I just held her. The nurses didn't respond quickly enough to bother with the call button.
I have a really adorable picture of DD and STBX in the hospital. But if you are in the know, you can can that his hands are at his side (he isn't toughing her) and he is looking down at her not really smiling. He was sitting on the chair and I put her on him after asking him to take a picture with her. To outsiders, it is a nice picture. But it really isn't.
I am pretty sure I have PTSD from it all. It was the worst experience of my life. And STBX just shrugged at me when told him how I felt about it. We will see how this divorce measures up to it.
I have a similar photo. I'm fairly certain now that STBX didn't want children, but they quickly became a great source of unconditional love and narcissistic supply to him. Plus they were cute (like all babies) and he got lots of attention bringing them around town. They are still like a prop to him. They allow him to act like a depraved S&M sexual lunatic most days, and then show up twice a week and play all-American respectable Dad in the old neighborhood. It seems almost like a game to him.
Anyhow, he looks like super dad in the photo - except I see that he doesn't know how to hold the baby, and how fake he looks.
I finally went back and looked at some other old photos. You know what? He's not really smiling in more than 100 photos! It's more of a smirk. And he usually looks very bored and slightly sinister. I also found an old college passport photo of him. I barely recognized him - I thought, "Oh, that guy looks like trouble."
My next judge was very cut-throat and no bullshit. I was scared at first, but he proved to be a friend to me. I was organized and had my documents prepared. Dumbass....well, not so much.
^^^Thank you! I hope and pray that history repeats itself.
As a quick update, Genius refuses to let me sell the house. We also have a HELOC maturing within weeks, and I can't pay it. He refuses to answer any emails about either of these issues. He's got me locked in and trapped.He doesn't care that his children have nowhere to go to school next year, or that my credit will now be ruined too, or that we could default on a HELOC. This is a man who was once so accomplished and respected. It's hard to believe. I think he would burn this house down before he would let me move on with my life.
Anyhow, QuakingAspen, I hope you're doing okay. I've been looking for your posts and hoping that you're okay.
And littlefoggy, I hope the divorce goes as smoothly as possible. Have you read the book Splitting? Genius has done every single thing in that book. I highly recommend it.
I think he would burn this house down before he would let me move on with my life.
If he's truly a narcissist, he would. I've seen my father cut off his nose to spite his face on numerous occasions even if it meant he, himself, would have to suffer for it for a long time afterward.
I have read Splitting and I highlighted the heck out of it. I plan on rereading it and revisiting it often. Great book.
The theme for my lesson this week is denial. I've been in such denial about how bad this relationship is, how little impact I can possibly ever have on him, how little I've ever stood up for myself, how little he's ever given me. I gave myself a 2x4 because after I told him I did not want to see him, he left a gift for me on the porch of my house while I was gone. I was scared and angry and annoyed. How much am I going to put up with?? I sent him two lines in an email, that I did not appreciate it and that he would not be welcome at my house this weekend to see the kids. If I keep minimizing my own feelings, how can I expect him or anyone to take me seriously? Back to NC and peace the last couple of days. I bought a nice thick rubber band for my wrist and doodled NC all around it.
And then I log on here, to lend my usually silent support and prayers, to find someone's thought of me and I bawl my head off. I am so used to feeling like my impact on anyone else is so random and finite, that I am infinitely replaceable and faceless. I kind of take it for granted that I am not someone people think about unless I'm in their face. It's a new thing to start to recognize that was only really true for HIM.
Thank you ChoosingHope. I have a tendency toward painful honesty that I am discovering is something he counts on and WHY he's baiting me like he does. The CL stuff is sort of new, but since the dealbreaker has been dealt, I sort of take it with a grain of salt. If I know how to do anything, it is commit, and this girl's DONE. I wish court had gone better for you, but I really hope others have it right that this is a positive development.
My older kids call their father the "Photo-Op" dad. I think that's pretty eloquent.
CG, you're so right. Ugh. NC has been successful and lovely the last couple of days. I'm just literally banging my head against the tendency to anticipate how he will interpret things and do damage control still because I don't want him to guess what I'm up to yet.
Peace to you (((Tribe))).
I'm just literally banging my head against the tendency to anticipate how he will interpret things and do damage control still because I don't want him to guess what I'm up to yet.
I think we all do this, I know I did. It's not a bad thing especially when trying to uncouple from them. Give yourself a break, old habits are very hard to break, especially when the trigger is still very much present. That is why NC is good-it gives you space to see the dance of action/reaction to him. And it allows you to see beyond that dance to consequences and repercussions. And beyond consequences and repercussions to damage control. Before they just blocked our view of the dance pattern.
That's why they hoover you back... they like controlling the dance.
BTW you look good dancing on your own.
[This message edited by Kajem at 7:06 AM, March 2nd (Sunday)]
I really hate not being totally honest, but I'm not ready to deal with him knowing my plans and he's getting more and more suspicious.
See, that's about your goodness. But it also contains the awareness of how it can be used against you.
That is excellent, knowing that, and gives you complete permission to go 'silent running', given that "job #1" is to take care of yourself.
nekorb, sorry I'm late.
Having to be a hypocrite is "payment" (tribute)...
The payment is living a life of lies,
having to expend vast amounts of psychic - really, "emotional" energy and effort to keep your stories straight...iow, what a way to live! right?
That is why such effort (again, tribute) very often, almost regularly - results in physical manifestations, sickness. (Your lies make you sick).
Hope that helps!
Sometimes it happens that I suffer so deeply for you that I have to "go to my healing place" - which in my case is deep silence...listening...
As is so often the case on here, and other threads too, it is "false charges" that hurt us so!...and I look for "how did I fare?" within me, and try to pull it out - put a name on it, give "an answer".
Sometimes things rise up as wordsongs, poems. The good ones - when my healing finally and really "clicked", come with a title! Very surprising to me! Other ones (I'm going to say now the 'best' ones ), come with a title and an end.
"it just happens" (not kidding - and no! it ain't the doggy xanax hahaha!)
So this is about 'false charges'. And healing. And peace.
Protected By The Song Of Flowers, I
wandered through the field.
Bright pressed were minutes turned to hours
yet still they sung their shield.
Unscratched by briars prickled grasp,
or dirtsaid words of hurt,
flung out false charges souling rasp
while daisy sang,
lifting her skirt.
Upblazed cruel pollen all around,
but stuck to sneezeless knee,
sharp phrased missed arrows now silented sound,
for all the time,
The Song.
It was in me.
(what they say is nothing, within you is everything)
That. Was BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I HAD to read it out loud, because those words begged to be HEARD.
Thank you for honoring us with your sharing.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons which readily burn and react with chlorine. Pollution from carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, acid rain, nitrogen oxides are described and discussed and what makes a good fuel? and what are the implication of climate change-global warming. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that react with bromine and form polymers. Cracking solves several problems of supply and demand including making monomers to make polymers like poly(ethene), poly(propene), polystyrene. Plastics have many uses but some problems too. Introduction to Organic Chemistry - Why so many series of organic compounds? e.g. like alcohols, carboxylic acids and esters, addition polymers like PVC and condensation polymers like Nylon. Natural molecules eg carbohydrates, sugars, starches, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, oils, fats, margarine and soap manufacture. Some extra notes have been added on vitamins, cooking chemistry, food additives, drugs-analgesic medicines and ozone layer depletion, CFC's and free radicals and finally ideas are outlined on global warming and climate change.

A warning! Most of the chemistry described on these pages, as well as most developed national economies, is based on crude oil at the moment, and, will no doubt to continue to do so for some time - but NOT FOREVER. Unfortunately oil won't last forever and much of our 'oil based economy' is not sustainable in the future and the potential dangers to the planet from 'climate change' i.e. the global warming from the 'Greenhouse Effect' aided by fossil fuel burning also make uncomfortable thinking. As the world population increases, oil based agriculture is not going to be able to feed everyone. Food production uses huge amounts of energy in the production of artificial-synthetic fertilisers, transportation and machinery on farms. Therefore, one would hope that more 'green sustainable' economic systems will be developed including alternative energy supplies not based on fossil fuels and major changes in agricultural practices to be much less reliant on 'oil' and 'greener' methodology in the chemical industry itself. It is fair to point out that crude oil is an extremely valuable chemical raw material and produces really useful products from smart material plastics to lifesaving drugs and components in many consumer products that are genuinely useful to improving the quality of our lives. therefore burning it is its crudest possible use. In the long-run it should be conserved and used much more sparingly for specific and necessary purposes.

Date Reviewed: September 30, 2013
Strengths: Geometry - This bike seems to extract more confidence than your ability might provide! I'm serious; you know this bike has a gravity pedigree as soon as you point it at a trail. Probably one of the best balanced bikes I've ridden, very progressive.
Traction whilst braking and climbing is ridiculously good although it pays to be seated whilst slogging the hills, but I think that's the same with any full suspension.
Weaknesses: Price, undoubtedly this is a quality frame, as any bike mechanic will tell you, but if you have your sights on a "new bike" then you're going to need to dig deep, with this costing you twice that of a trek etc equivalent. Although I believe the spider does have the edge in the ride.
Mud clearance at the rear is tight, if you like running fat tyres in the winter then you might have issues, I ran 2.1's and haven't an issue.

Strengths: Quality build oozes character, pretty light, pretty tough, pretty good looking (I got the works red).
Weaknesses: Because of the confidence this has given I am already thinking about upgrading to a Tracer !
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: September 17, 2010
Strengths: Very smooth ride. Good climbing efficiency. Handles wonderfully and I'm able to ride things on this bike I've never been able to ride before.
Weaknesses: Derailleur hanger bends easily. (order an extra one) I go through the entire rear shock travel pretty regularly even though I'm running slightly less sag than recommended.
Bottom Line:
The bike has a really nice ride. It's quite different from my Racer-X and at first took some getting used to. The center of gravity is a little further back so I don't have to pull myself so far forward in the saddle during steep climbs. Also, with the more slack head angle, I don't go OTB as much. (thankfully)
I'm only giving it 4 chilies on the value rating because not long after I bought it, Intense lowered the price of the frame by a couple hundred bucks. It would have been nice if they or the bike shop offered to reimburse me some of the difference. I also broke the bank on the components which made me poor for a while.

All trainees have four 6 month placements in the first 2 years of the programme. These are (in order) Child and Family, Adult, Older Adult/Health/Neuropsychology and Learning Disabilities. You will be on placement for 3 days each week. In the third year, you will have a longer placement of 9 months and will be on placement for either 3 or 4 days each week.
Placements are allocated according to a number of variables for each trainee, such as learning needs, trainee preference, previous experience, distance from home base and supervisors' requirements. We try to take these factors into account when deciding on each placement, so as to make an allocation that ideally suits you.
Over the three years we will try to ensure that each trainee has placements that cover a range of settings, therapeutic models and ways of working. This means that trainees' learning needs, and the need to develop necessary competencies, usually take preference above the other factors when making final decisions about placement allocation
Choice of third year placements is usually influenced by trainees' preferences for extending their experience in terms of working in a specialty, with a specific client group or using a therapeutic model. We also take into account each trainee's own learning needs, such as gaps in experience or areas of competency which need attention, and these factors will also influence the choice of placement. We share our placement resources with the Manchester and Liverpool programmes so all placements are arranged by negotiation between programmes. You will be on your third year placement for 3 days per week until your thesis is handed in, after which you will go for 4 days per week.
Being able to drive and owning a car is not essential for completing the programme, but probably makes the necessary travel to and within placements easier. Some placements necessitate frequent travel between bases during the day. Travel expenses are not paid for travel to your placement base unless the distance is greater than the distance from home to base (university), but are paid for travel between locations whilst working on placement.
Placements are spread all across the North West region, from Carlisle to Cheshire, and beyond. We will try our best to make sure that trainees do not have long commutes each day, but sometimes this is unavoidable. The average commuting time to most placements is under an hour.
Please see the guide from our curent trainees about placements for further information and tips about succesful placements.

7 credit predictions for 2013
An expert foresees many positive developments for consumers on the personal finance front.
This guest post comes from Odysseas Papadimitriou at Card Hub.
What does 2013 have in store for our wallets? Well, assuming that the doomsday preppers are wrong and Dec. 31 comes and goes without incident, we can certainly make a few educated guesses about some of the new year's most-pressing personal finance issues.
It's always smart to get a head start on responsible money management, after all, so let me grab my crystal ball look into the future.
The fiscal cliff will be anticlimactic.
The issue foremost in the minds of consumers and financial professionals, not to mention political junkies, is what will happen with the fiscal cliff. Will we hit rock-bottom or somehow avoid the fall and keep rolling like the bus in "Speed"? The latter option is more likely for the simple reason that no one wants to see the country's economy pushed into a deep, prolonged recession, no matter what their political leanings may be.
That's not to say Washington will strike a deal by the Dec. 31 deadline or that a lasting resolution will come anytime soon, but you can bet they'll work out something, even if it applies retroactively or simply postpones a real decision. That's why the fiscal cliff mess won't affect your wallet much in 2013, aside from some initial uncertainty on the stock market.
Credit card sign-up offers will remain strong.
The post-recession credit card market has been marked by extremely attractive sign-up deals targeted at the roughly 50% of people who have excellent credit. You can currently get a rewards bonus worth up to $500, 0% on new purchases for up to 18 months, or a free balance-transfer credit card that has the potential to save you up to $1,000 in interest and fees. Don't despair if this is the first you've heard of such deals -- you'll have plenty of time to take advantage of one in 2013.
While low-interest introductory periods probably won't get any longer, they shouldn't regress much, and rewards bounties will continue to be worth hundreds of dollars.
Mobile wallets won't catch on.
We heard a lot about mobile wallets in 2012, with a number of different groups announcing product launches and rumors swirling about when Apple and Android will roll out compatible smartphones. You can expect the talk to continue in 2013, but not much else.
The market is simply too fragmented, there are still too many security concerns, and the requisite infrastructure is not yet in place for merchants to accept smartphone-based payments. Besides, it's frustrating enough now to have your cell battery run out. Are we really ready to also be left walletless?
Secured credit cards and prepaid cards will experience a boom.
The Credit CARD Act and the Durbin Amendment serve as the impetus for the rise of secured credit cards and prepaid cards, respectively. The former made unsecured credit cards for people with bad credit unprofitable by capping the first-year fees that issuers can assess in order to curtail the practice of charging folks up to $200 for as little as $50 in available credit. The latter capped debit card swipe fees, thereby costing banks $8.4 billion in annual revenue and forcing them to explore unregulated alternatives, such as prepaid cards.
Both card segments experienced increased popularity in 2012, but we can expect that trend to be exacerbated in 2013 as people become more familiar with them and more issuers enter each space.
Check-cashing stores will be in dire straits.
Check-cashing stores have long followed a niche business model, able to turn a profit despite consumer contempt for their borderline-predatory fees because they were the only check-cashing option available to unbanked consumers. The introduction of big-bank prepaid cards that allow people to directly load checks by taking pictures with their cellphone or visiting an ATM has changed that dynamic.
Such cards are far cheaper than check-cashing stores, so you can expect the traditional check-cashing industry to suffer and many stores to go out of business as prepaid cards become less of an unknown quantity to consumers.
Personal finance will become more consumer-friendly.
In a way, it's remarkable how much more transparent the credit card industry is today compared with just a few years ago. Thanks to the CARD Act and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, bait-and-switch pricing, unfair payment allocation, double-cycle billing, predatory fees and unscrupulous customer service practices are all much less of a concern these days.
We'll be singing somewhat of the same tune for different segments of the personal finance industry this time next year, as the CFPB is currently supervising credit bureaus and debt collectors and will likely set its sights next on prepaid cards and checking accounts. We can therefore look forward to more accurate credit reports, a debt collection market that's less reminiscent of the Wild West, better prepaid card disclosures, and more consumer-friendly methods of resolving disputes with banks, just to name a few changes.
Credit availability will rise.
Finally, with the economic recovery expected to continue and unemployment set to fall, it will be even easier to get credit in 2013 than it was in 2012. That's actually a bittersweet development because we're currently on pace to incur $43.5 billion in credit card debt for 2012, and additional credit could be a harbinger of a more-pronounced buildup next year.
That's why we must place an emphasis on budgeting and spending only what we can afford to pay back in 2013. If we don't, the financial outlook for 2014 could be decidedly more ominous.
What do you think? Whether you agree or disagree with our outlook for next year, tell us why in the comments below so we can ring in the new year with a little healthy debate.

When Sharon Burton Turner and the Montclair Art Museum's African American Cultural Committee saw each other at a recent event, the atmosphere was like that of a college reunion. It wasn't good times on campus, however, that members of this group were reminiscing about, but rather an April 2011 Road Scholar charter adventure to Paris.
"The program was 100 percent successful, from beginning to end," Sharon says. "All of us on the committee were still on a high. Everyone was still raving about the program."
Through Road Scholar's charter initiative, all of our nearly 7,000 learning adventures are available to groups like the African American Cultural Committee to reserve exclusively for their members.
Sharon recalls a committee function in 2009 during which someone introduced the idea of going abroad together to study a subject dear to them all. "Someone suggested how wonderful it would be to go to Paris to study the African American expatriates who have lived their since the late 30s. We decided to try for 2011, and the next question became, 'How do we do this?' We didn't have a clue how to go about it."
That was when a member of the committee suggested Road Scholar. Sharon contacted the Road Scholar Group Charter Team, and a few telephone calls later, what started as a kernel of an idea was materializing into a learning adventure that none of the committee members would ever forget.
"Road Scholar helped us schedule it for Easter break," Sharon says, recalling that a third of the participants are educators who needed the program to coincide with a school holiday. "We even stayed in a hotel in the Latin Quarter where Richard Wright had lived and worked. Simply put, it was perfect."
Sharon and her group enjoyed all the hallmarks of a Road Scholar program — local experts, engaging educational content and remarkable value. Cherifa, the group leader, met the group at the airport and didn't leave their sides until they boarded the return flight. "She was outstanding. Whatever information we wanted, she was there able to give it to you with pleasure," Sharon reported, adding, "If all of Road Scholar's group leaders are like her, I'll go on many more programs."
Road Scholar adventures grant access to the true heart of a place through the rare insight only local experts can provide. In Sharon's words, "Being with people who really know the city and this aspect of its history makes you feel that same sense of belonging that these expatriates experienced. When you couple that with experiences in the Louvre, the D'Orsay and the African American Diaspora Museum, it's truly magical."
At significant sites in the lives of African American expatriates, Sharon and her companions benefited from the expertise of local husband-and-wife instructor team Tom and Monique. Says Sharon of Monique, "Her knowledge was very evident and you could see and feel the passion she felt for the history in each place. We might be talking Beaufort Delaney and Monique would have researched the topic."
Among the highlights of the program was a morning spent talking about literature and life in France with contemporary expatriate Jake Lamar. Sharon came to learn that Jake and many other adopted Parisians have the same story to tell. "Many simply came on vacation," Sharon says, "and loved it so much that they stayed. There's something about the mysticism of Paris that just draws them in. You feel it just looking up at the apartment where James Baldwin wrote, the theater where Josephine Baker performed."
At times, it seemed as if unexplained forces were at work. One particular night, the group was outside a well-known Paris jazz club, waiting to go inside and experience the same atmosphere as the expatriate jazz musicians of the 1940s, when they spotted a familiar name on the marquee.
"It was Steve Turee," Sharon says, referring to the acclaimed trombonist from Montclair, N.J. — home to the Montclair Art Museum, not mention most of the committee members. "Here he was, his first time playing in this club, in need of some support, and he finds himself surrounded by neighbors and friends. No one could have planned that."
Other highlights of the program included a visit to Monet's garden at Giverny in mid-April bloom and a meal at a French-African restaurant, owned by a woman from Cameroon who greeted the group personally.
"I've been asked," Sharon recalls, reflecting on the experience, "'Do you think it can be repeated?' And I answer, 'I don't think so, but I'd love to try.'"

Olivia looks distraught. She recognizes the voice, and it's not hard to figure it out, even with the poor sound quality of the tape.
"You're threatening me? After seeing what I'm willing to do to my own brother?"
"Well, let me assure you we'd be happy to treat you as family too." And we flash back to when Olivia heard that the first time: when John said it when he got out of his SUV at the airport. Olivia scrabbles for her keys and starts the car.
Back at the hospital, John struggles to sit up in his hospital bed, and yanks his IV line. And, after dressing in the change of clothes Olivia brought earlier, shows his FBI badge to the guard outside Steig's room and then smothers Steig, who had been sleeping, with a pillow.
In the car, Olivia tells Charlie she needs two agents posted outside John's room, and someone to check on Steig. "I'm on it," says Charlie, who doesn't even ask what's going on. But he finds Steig murdered and yells, "We need this place locked down!"
But it's too late to catch John, who's pulling out of the parking lot just as Olivia gets in her car and runs up to the hospital doors. She radios for assistance and heads back to her car and chases him. Time to get their swerve on! There is much brake-squealing and U-turning and fender-bending among the poor unsuspecting Bostonians. Olivia manages to pull alongside John, and then he tries to knock her off the road. He's not that into you, Olivia. Eventually, John's the one whose vehicle goes airborne, and when he crawls out of the wreckage, he's covered in blood and gasping for air. He's dying. Olivia cradles him, and he croaks out, "Ask yourself, why ... why Broyles sent you to ... storage facility ... why you..." Olivia half-crying, asks him who he's working for. He doesn't answer. He won't answer any more questions. He's dead. Uh, Olivia, you've got six hours to get Walter over here to ask John some questions, right?
Well, six hours is about how long it seems her montage o' grief lasts, as she sits in the back of an ambulance and cries. Later, Charlie drives her somewhere, and says he's sorry. "The job isn't what it was ten years ago. We're supposed to protect a world where one breath of the wrong air can incinerate you from the inside out," he says. And what thanks do you get? Schlubs wearing T-shirts that say "Federal Breast Inspector." He wants to know how they're supposed to protect people when corporations have higher security clearances than they do, and when they're not fully briefed on half the things they're investigating. "You know, when, the truth ... the truth is ... we're obsolete." Not out there? Olivia finally speaks, after simply staring out the window. "Take me back to the lab," she says.
Walter and Peter are just on their way, and Olivia takes Peter aside to stammer out that she needs Walter, and therefore Peter has to be here too, and Walter isn't the monster Peter thinks he is, and blah blah blah. "I'm not going to use false threats anymore. The threats are real," she says.
Peter says that after she left, her dad was talking about some of the work he'd done with William Bell, and how what happened on the plane is only going to be the beginning. Which kinda makes him want to get the hell out of Boston. "Are we leaving?" calls over his father. He repeats it. Peter looks back at his father, then back at Olivia, and half-smiles. She smiles back.
Elsewhere, an attendant in white wheels a gurney down a corridor. He's stopped by someone who pulls the sheet back on the body. The corpse is John Scott. The woman is Nina Sharp, who asks the attendant how long he's been dead. "Five hours," says the guy. She waits a beat. "Question him," she says. The attendant puts his palm print on an ID screen that opens a door into some high tech lab, while the camera zooms in on a digital blue leaf, revolving on the screen. Somewhat surprisingly, it's not a pot leaf.

Bristol Palin: "I Didn't Know I'd Become a Statistic"
Props to Bristol Palin for giving it to teens straight. "I didn't know I'd become a statistic," she says in her new ad for the CandiesFoundation.org, which strives to educate and shape the way teens think about pregnancy and parenthood.
Palin was just 17 when she found out she was pregnant with her son Tripp -- which also happened to occur at the height of her mother's political campaign. Today, she's handling life as a single mom.She poses with her son for the campaign, which also features ads starring celebs such as Hilary Duff, Jenny McCarthy, Ashlee Simpson, Usher and more.
The Candies Foundation reaches millions of teens each year with high-profile media campaigns that encourage the delay of pregnancy.
Moms, what do you think of Bristol Palin's new ad and her work to help prevent teen pregnancy?
Good for her. She is doing the best she can. I fully support her 100%.
I don't know if it will help teenage girls to not get pregant but I'm glad she is out there saying that it's harder than she expected. I know a lot of people like to give her a hard time but I think everyone know someone who got pregant before they were adults and/or before marriage. In our society where it is no longer looked down on girls/women to have children outside of marriage or even without the possibility of a man in the baby life, I don't understand why so many women are so mean toward this one girl. If she could make one teenagers rethink the whole "I can't wait to have a baby, it would be so much fun" then I support her effort.
I'm in my twenties with kids. It's easier than I thought BUT it's just selfish to have kids in your teens if you are planning to have kids that is. You need to experience life to pass down to your kids to raise them into the best adults with the right attention and time. Enjoy yourself before you have kids because once you have kids, it's them first, you second!

City council races likely to hold key to airport's future
The future of Blaine's airport may be decided in the upcoming election, but it isn't the loudly debated ballot initiative asking Blaine voters if they want to shut it down that is likely to make or break the facility. It's the two contested races for seats on Blaine City Council, where the real decisions about the airport will be made.
"Shall the Blaine City Council explore the feasibility of closing the Blaine Municipal Airport," asks proposition one on the November ballot. It is an advisory measure, designed to take the temperature of the community and help council members decide where they want to turn – towards a $16 million upgrade of the facility, or towards its elimination in favor of another use for the land.
The ballot issue is effectively moot, said mayor John Liebert, because council has already committed to proceeding with a study of alternative uses for the land and will look into any costs and consequences associated with closing the airport when they do. Even if the majority of voters answer no to the question in proposition one, "we would still continue to look at all the possibilities," Liebert said. The balance of power among the current council members has them almost evenly split between airport-boosters and those who want to take a harder look. This election could change that balance.
Today, there are three city council members who have publicly shown strong support for the airport: Mike Myers, Bob Brunkow and Bruce Wolf. All three have their names on the ballot this fall, but only Brunkow will face an opponent in the coming election: Jason Overstreet.
"My personal position is I don't support the airport," Overstreet said. "As a candidate I think the more important issue is to be objective." Overstreet wants to see the study of alternatives to using the land as an airport, championed by Liebert, go forward and he will make a judgment based on those facts and the outcome of the advisory vote. Brunkow was not available for comment.
If Brunkow loses his seat to Overstreet, airport-boosters will have lost an ally on the dais, but if he wins the airport will be one short of a majority fighting to keep it open and growing.
The other battle is for the at-large council position, where Marsha Hawkins, an airport supporter, will not be running. Instead her husband Charlie Hawkins is vying for the position, opposed by Jason Burke.
the candidates are on opposite sides of the airport question.
Charlie Hawkins would bring more ardent support for the airport expansion to the council. "I think it's a good idea," he said. "We need to look at options, sure, but unless something really great turns up we have to take the federal government up on this." The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration would pick up the tab for 80 percent of the airport expansion. "We get awful shortsighted if we look instead at turning it into a truck stop spewing diesel fumes and truckers across from the high school 24 hours a day," he added.
Hawkins' opponent Jason Burke is not personally in favor of the airport, especially if the city needs to invest in it. However, he said his position as a candidate is that his own view shouldn't matter and he wants to follow the lead of the advisory vote, which he feels will reflect public sentiment about having a Blaine airport. "Council works for the citizens of Blaine," he said.
If Hawkins and Brunkow both get voter approval, the airport defenders will have their majority. If Burke and Overstreet win, the airport doubters will have a strong foothold.
The remaining three council seats are not held by airport opponents, but they aren't supporters either. "I would describe myself as in the middle," said Bonnie Onyon, who is running for re-election uncontested. "I can see issues of concern on both sides and neither direction will be easy." Ken Ely said that while he likes airports and thinks the city is enriched by having one, when it comes to casting a vote on the prospective of another use for the land he "will go strictly by the numbers." Ely is also waiting for a study of land-use alternatives. "We need to see both sides of the fence and make a business decision," he said.
"It's a swing vote," Burke said of the position he's running for, acknowledging this election could change the flavor and direction council takes on the airport and other issues. "Things can really change."

These chairs are nice and bright, heavy duty plastic, no hardware, stackable. I'm not sure what the weight limit on this chair is, but it looks sturdy even with a 150lb person sitting on it, but if you lean back it does bend a little. I like that there's no hardware and no corners, makes it safe for little kids.

Stackable Chairs
Angela from Baltimore, MD– Verified Buyer
I like the 12 Polypropylene stackable chairs. I purchased two of these chairs in the sand color for my home daycare. I also have these chairs in blue. They are sturdy and strong. I know that they will last a long time. I also like them because they are one piece chairs. You don't have to worry about nails and screws with one piece chairs. I will purchase some more of these chairs in the future.

Combining their responsibility to the community and their desire to be environmentally conscious, they have a program to reduce (or better yet, re-use) what they would normally dispose of... Early Childhood Resources has eliminated almost all of their cardboard waste by implementing commercial cardboard shredding equipment in its facilities to convert cardboard destined for the landfill into some of the best packing material available.
Competition typically demands lower costs and with it, labor intense jobs are being exported faster and faster every year. Early Childhood Resources, being committed to "Maximum Value," balances the demands from the marketplace with the practicality and social values of finding ways to maximize the capabilities of those in our community with developmental disabilities, and want to work! The program provides a stimulating and developmentally enriching environment. These individuals gain valuable social and work skills while earning competitive wages, and creating "Maximum Value" in their products.

teresa from Chilliwack, BC
This is a beautiful pulpit but we had to put an opague covering on the top as it glares onto the overhead screen. otherwise it is great.
Great Item -handle with great care!
Vasthi Cheddar from Framingham, MA– Verified Buyer
This is a great podium. Beautiful lines and perfect for smaller settings, like a church or large hall. It is very easy to assemble and light enough that a petite woman can move it without much effort. However, for a setting that is not controlled (like a church full of 'volunteers'), the instructions for handling need to be put right on the podium because it is very delicate if not handled with care. It cannot be picked up from the top shelf, it needs to be cleaned very carefully so that it doesn't scratch and it can not be dragged (because of course, will pull the shelves out). I am sure these apply to ALL acrylic podiums ~so it is not unique to this one. Otherwise, I recommend it to anyone who can control who moves it and cleans it.

Police are looking for two cars involved in a late morning shooting in north Toledo.
Shortly after 11 a.m., Toledo police responded to a call of shots fired at Sherman and Elm streets, but found nothing.
Minutes later, a red van dropped off a man with gunshot wounds at the emergency room. The victim, Duwaynn Payne, said the incident happened at Elm and Moore streets.
Police then checked that area and found shell casings, along with other evidence in the 1000 block of Moore.
Police say several men in an older, white, rusty car exchanged gunfire with another vehicle.
However, the preliminary stories from the victim and witnesses don't match up completely, according to police.
Payne's condition is fair at this time.
The investigation continues. Anyone with more information is urged to call police.

Chicago (AP) -- A Cook County Circuit Court judge is expected to hear arguments in a lawsuit over Gov. Pat Quinn's decision to halt lawmakers' pay.
Quinn used his line-item veto to cut money for legislators' salaries from the state budget because they hadn't fixed Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis.
House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton sued, saying Quinn's actions were unconstitutional and violated the state's separation of powers. They asked a judge to order paychecks be issued.
Quinn says if lawmakers want to be paid, they can vote to override his veto -- a move he acknowledges could be unpopular with voters.
Judge Neil Cohen scheduled oral arguments for Wednesday morning.
Lawmakers earn a base annual salary of $67,836. They've missed two monthly paychecks so far.

What is a playlist?
A playlist is simply a list of skills and/or videos for students to study. Many coaches create playlists to help their students focus on the most relevant material. Playlists are especially important for students who aren't using missions, but we recommend them for all classrooms as a way to help students stay on track.
How do I create and implement a playlist?
- Identify the standards or concepts you want to teach.
- Find relevant content on Khan Academy.
- Write down the names of these skills or videos in a document. Voila - you've got a playlist!
- If you plan to share an electronic copy of the playlist with your students, you may want to include a link to each skill along with the name. That way, students can simply click the link to access the skill!
- Decide how you'll guide your students through the playlist. Here are three options:
- Share paper or electronic copies of the playlist with your students. Students can also use this document to track their progress.
- Share a copy of the playlist with your students and ask them to add the skills from the playlist to their own learning dashboards. (This approach does not work for videos because users can't add videos to their learning dashboards.)
- Share these skills with your students by making coach recommendations. (This approach does not work for videos because coaches can't recommend videos.)
- Ask students to work through the skills in order. Otherwise, students may jump to another skill if the one they are practicing becomes challenging, resulting in lots of jumping and little learning.
- Monitor student progress on playlist skills.
- One option is to use the Skill Progress, Student Progress, or Grid reports, which all contain a filter called "Find topics or skills." You can add the skills on your playlist to this filter one by one to limit the focus of the report. You can then click the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen to bookmark your filtered report for future use.
What are the most common kinds of playlists?
- Foundational playlists: List the top 10-20 skills you think every student must know before starting on grade-level content. Find those skills on Khan Academy and create a playlist.
- Unit playlists: Look at the standards and concepts you want to cover in a unit. Search for the relevant skills on Khan Academy, and create a playlist of skills. Depending on how much access to technology your students have, you may want to limit the number of skills to the most important 5-10.
- Differentiated playlists: Create two playlists for your students: one that covers the basics, and another that covers more advanced topics. This way students can advance within the unit if they are ready.
- Project playlists: Identify the prerequisite skills needed for a project, and create a list. Have students complete them before or during the project.
Below are a few sample playlists. You can find more examples here.
