This thread is not for BS's to go back and forth on. It's specifically for BS's to ask questions of the WS's here, please follow the thread format.
My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
..i'll stand by, wanting exactly the same question answered for my situation.
thx..for asking this one!
From what I've read of your situation, it sounds as if WOES was really expecting an exit affair. She was trying to find a way to leave and punish you in the process. As things in the M became distant, your WW was uncertain about where she was at in life, she was maybe a bit vulnerable, and didn't know why.
Your M was good, but she reached her limit of there not being the connection she wanted/needed so distance grew, MOM swoops in, resentment begins, justification begins, but they aren't ready to make their move, so they are going to punish you for not doing anything to save the M, biding their time until they can be ready, and kablooey. WOES is thrown under the bus wondering what happened (which really sucks at so many levels), how she ever talked herself into what she had done, how she could have ever gotten into a situation like that in the first place.
The high of the A is enough to overcome feelings of guilt. And since the MOM was so close, that high was there all the time.
This whole possibility of your situation could also include some sort of perception on WOES part that since everything seemed fine, everyone was "happy", then what they were doing was okay. Nothing would change, everything would be amicable and everyone would understand that it was all for the better because nobody was really happy before.
In retrospect, all of this is a total load of shit. But when you are in it, as the WS, it makes total sense, and if it doesn't, if that chink in our armor widens a bit, the we can go to new levels to protect what we are doing.
I don't know. I think guilt wasn't an issue during the A. Everything else, the high, the constant contact, the ability to maintain friendships during the A, the fact that you remained unaware for so long, it all became justification that they were on the right track.
The part I mention above about how much it sucks to be thrown under the bus, well, initially it sucks because our life preserver has been yanked away from us. I know this shouldn't matter, but it does. It's something that the WS has to work through. Then, the realization of what we did sets in. that is when the flood gates of guilt open up and we become swamped.
I don't know if I am on track with this line of thinking, or if I have taken it far enough. But that's all I got for now.
People honestly do it very often and quite effectively. Anyone that smokes will tell you they love their families and certainly don't want to die. Yet, smoking is been proven to kill you most of the time. Imagine doing something many times a day guaranteed to shorten, end your life while interacting with the very people that will be devastated by your death.
It helps you avoid cognitive dissonance which would have given her the behaviors and feelings you hoped she'd feel...guilt, discomfort with her actions, shame. You can balance things that truly can't exist together successfully.
Your wife had choices. She either removed the OM, changed her beliefs, or somehow rationalize she was supporting her beliefs the best possible way in an untenable situation (and here's where the demonization and "borderline trait" of people being all good or all bad) comes into play. Any of those choices would be very difficult to cope with and process and all would require actions and thoughts most don't want to do.
Compartmentalization enables you not to have to. At least not then. It's very "in the moment" short term thinking.
I honestly think that's what many BS's use in the early stages to cope with what's happened and even contemplate staying with someone that betrayed them so horribly. In time, and hopefully with the remorseful WS proving they've done the work and are committed to the relationship, integration can happen and they can work through all the fall out and bullshit that now hits with that.
I think that's sometimes why the rage is delayed and the 2nd year may be harder than the first. The shock, trauma, and compartmentalization needed to protect and maintain dissipate. That's just my belief and may not resonate at all.
Eventually those two conflicting things need to be processed by both, your wife and you. How could she act the way she did and still be a good person who loves her husband (her) and how could you stay with someone who caused you such pain and disrespect (you). It's possible HT and is seen here with some amazing couples.
The integration is brutal...but necessary.

From what I've read of your situation, it sounds as if WOES was really expecting an exit affair. She was trying to find a way to leave and punish you in the process.
This is part of what I am thinking must have been going on. When we discuss this aspect though, I don't feel that she is in agreement with that. She seems to be trying to tell me that hurting me, "punishing" me wasn't a factor. It seems as though she is still maintaining that she didn't want to hurt me, but that sentiment simply doesn't stand up to the simplest of analysis. There is simply no possible way she could not have seen that some very specific actions on her part(don't really want to elaborate on those at the monent) would be enormously hurtful in the end. Not unless she is either sociopathicly unempathetic or criminally stupid. Neither of which are options I would like to believe. KWIM?
I don't know, maybe we are just failing to communicate effectively on this issue. Maybe we are saying the same things but from different directions and just aren't managing to connect. I am really struggling with this today, we both took a mental health day off from work as we try to work this out.
Eventually those two conflicting things need to be processed by both, your wife and you. How could she act the way she did and still be a good person who loves her husband (her) and how could you stay with someone who caused you such pain and disrespect (you)
That seems to be what is going on in a nutshell. I worry alot that in the end I will simply prove unequal to the task of resolving that cognitive dissonance in my head. I just know that for me. The kind of person that I am? I have got to find a way to make it work in my head. I would like to be the kind of person who can live with the idea that I will never understand it, but I am pretty sure that's not how I am mentally constituted.
Thanks again for the response guys. Keep em coming please, we are literally trying to hash this out at this very moment. I think we both appreciate all the help we can get.
For some reason today many posts are reminding me of quotes I collect.
"Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field, I will meet you there"
Jalal ad-Din Rami
When you can accept you may find you did understand and as foreign as her thoughts and actions were and are to anything that is part of you, she herself is familiar and someone you can build a future with safely.
You are probably right about him wanting to erase you. And there may be some truth to the despising theory. They both are related to the guilt issues too. You said he did these things before you knew about OW. Your thoughts and ideas about it make sense.
Moving out on his own, while in the A, it would be presumable that he also didn't want to expose himself in any way to the OW. Pictures, trinkets, sentimental things...those are all a part of the truth. Letting OW see those would mean facing moments of honesty with her.
But of course having those things around when she was there, he would then have the extra "burden" of being reminded of you, of what he was doing, of his choices while he was telling himself that OW was everything he needed.
It isn't surprising to me that he didn't want these things. Less hard evidence of the life he was giving up, all for lies.
Not all men push for sex. The "I'm delicate" statement sounds like crap. Maybe he was silent because he couldn't believe he said something like that. Who knows...
When it comes to A's, one thing that is difficult for both BS and WS is being intimate. In your case it sounds like you want to be intimate because you have worked through the R process and healing process to the point where you can be intimate. Your WH hasn't done that work yet, so he is a few steps behind and being intimate with you is something he can't deal with. Even when it hurts you.
It may be that he still thinks of the AP. He may not have found a way to shut the OW out of his mind when he is intimate with you, or that he fears he will let her intrude. If that is the case, then in a way, his problems with not being able to be intimate with you are a fairly honest way for him to protect you. I mean that in a good way. Maybe he truly wants to be intimate with you, and not have thoughts of AP during those times. Since he can't do it yet, then he is going to wait until he can.
If that is the case, then he really needs to do the work to go mental NC. There are some WS who can shut out the AP. Others have a much more difficult time. I think this is related to the type of A and also to the type of person the WS is. Some WS struggle more than others when it comes to committing to R. Doesn't mean they don't want R, just that they aren't sure how to go about it. It took me a long time to get there.
If you are up for it, then let him take things at his own pace, gently nudging him along when needed. You can lay down your ground rules too. My BW waited me out, then laid down a rule. Once I started working on things in a way she could perceive as being active and committed, she was willing to wait for a while again.
This is one where I'll stick to my own situation, and my own self...
I'm a good person. I have integrity and I value honesty. So reconciling what I did during the A with who I was has been very difficult. Each lie, each boundary that I crossed, both the external boundaries and the internal ones, has been looked at in detail, with intensity and honesty, to find an answer or a reason for what I did. In short, all the hooks and barbs I threw out during the A and post d-day didn't catch. I've been left standing all alone with nowhere to place the blame except at my own feet. So reconciling what I did during the A with who I am now is just a matter of accepting it and making sure I don't put myself or my BW in that position again.
The lies I told during the A were done in an attempt to push my BW away from me. That was the only way I could justify what I was doing. My mindset was that I was in this EA which was a pretty incredible experience, so it must have been right, because I was someone with integrity and who valued honesty, so I started believing that my life prior to the A was the lie. I started trying to find any reason I could to lay the blame at my BW's feet.
In your case, only you can know what you are able to believe. Your WH was that man with honesty and integrity before the LTA. Is he taking responsibility now? Has he gotten to the point of being able to accept what he has done? It he doing anything now to make you feel safe at the moment? Some of the basics include NC, transparency, honesty when answering questions about the events of the A. More difficult will be the why. He may not be able to give you an answer for a while. He may not know. But if he is working on it, and you can see it in him, then you will know.
I think that a BS will never trust their WS 100% post d-day. I think that is okay. Blind trust is a dangerous thing as many of us now know. But you don't have to make a black or white decision. You can choose to R, to trust him a little bit, and at the same time bolster yourself enough to be able to take care of yourself. If things turn out, great. If they don't, it will hurt like hell, but you will know that you can take care of yourself.
The answer/solution will be different for everyone.
It's okay. You have every right to make the decision that best suits you. Nobody can fault you for that.
Someday you may be able to see your WH in a different light. Maybe he will become that person he was before, or maybe he will be able to take those good traits from before and fold them into a new, better person. If he makes it, then good for him. It will just be a sad thing though that he wasn't able to do it the first time around.
What's the first thoughts that enter your mind in the morning when you wake up?
Same old stuff, getting ready for work, what I have to do that day.
It has been 6 years since the last dday.
Adopt a chihuahua in your area
but if so, how bad is it really for you?
I ask my WH all.the.time if he thinks of OC and he always says "no" or that he's trying not to.
I've seen pictures of OC but my WH doesn't want to (which I guess I can understand), but I just can't imagine that this isn't awful for him.
It's awful for me.
"I need to text BH, tell him I'm up now, and see how his day is going so far. " No joke. Every single morning. My day hinges on how he is doing.
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
"You can do it!" - R. Schneider
I'm just wondering if you always end up seeing the OM/OW for what they were? Or do you still think of them as a "good" person.
My WW is still not remorseful and still works with OM. And whilst she admitted to me she no longer loves him as she did and does not have the intense feelings for him. She says they have not fallen out and I cannot change her mind about him not being a good person. She holds herself fully accountable and says she thinks she is a bad person for cheating on me and betraying me. But even though he has done the same to his BS, shes till thinks of him in a positive light.
I realise that NC is probably needed for this, i'm just annoyed I guess that she refuses to see him in anything other than a positive light!
It's too early, want more sleep.
What's your real question? Do you think of the affair first thing when you wake up?
I'm just wondering if you always end up seeing the OM/OW for what they were? Or do you still think of them as a "good" person.
What do you mean by "what they were"? Is the only right answer that the OP was "bad"?
I don't think anything of the OM. I'm sure he has his good points and his bad points. He is like any other person whose life I know nothing about.
Or do you mean what the OP was during the affair? He was a target, he was available, he said "yes".
He was a symbol, not a person. That's what he was. The bad person was me. He was nothing.
If you considered yourself a good person, a person who had integrity and valued honesty before the A how do you now reconcile who you thought you were and your A actions?
but this is his second time.
This second quote is your real question, right?
Will he change? If not, you have to decide how you want to live the next 50 years.

It's a good thing RAN's forest campaigner, Lafcadio Cortesi, speaks Bahasa Indonesian so well. Otherwise I almost certainly would have gotten in the car with the undercover intelligence agent who told me to come with him because he "wanted to practice his English."
We had just arrived in the small village of Siabu, in the Kampar region of east central Sumatra. Our plan was to meet up with a group of displaced villagers and participate in a land reclamation and planting party. The villagers are engaged in a land conflict with a subsidiary of pulp and paper giant APP, and their plan was to plant crops on their traditional lands and prevent the company from further establishing a pulpwood plantation in the disputed area.
Of the dozens of men milling about when we got out of the car, the first to approach me began asking questions about who I was with, what I was doing there, and the like. It quickly became apparent that the whole group was loading onto their motor bikes and moving to a less public location and we were to follow. We were all meant to meet up at the same place, so I was contemplating jumping in with my gregarious new friend, but Lafcadio said, curtly, "No. Travel with us."
Not generally a curt fellow, Laf explained when we got in the car that our hosts were concerned the mystery guy was there to gather intelligence, though for whom he was gathering it was not quite clear. This was the first of many lessons and insights I gained that day into just how deeply dark and deranged the situation here has become.
Getting to the designated meeting place required hours of travel on a labyrinth of dirt roads through a 250,000 acre acacia plantation that stretched across the land like an infestation of neatly ordered rows of scrawny twigs. We were made to pass through several check points staffed by security personnel who sported the SOS corporate logo of their employer on a patch on one shoulder and a police badge on the other — a fitting display of the cozy relationship between the security state and the corporations whose interests they serve.
At the second security post we picked up the Tokoh Adat, or customary elder of the local village, a man called Pak Datuk. The armed guards took the identification cards of our driver and Pak Datuk for safe keeping — and so they'd have leverage over the drive and Pak Datuk if anything untoward were to occur beyond the gate.
The gathering place was a promontory at the edge of the plantation overlooking a post-apocalyptic landscape cleared of all vegetation and scarred by a maze of roads leading nowhere. Later we would learn this spot was chosen because it is within the villagers' ancestral territory, and is an area they hope to reclaim. It had been decided no planting would occur this day, but a meeting would proceed to discuss community goals and next steps.
About a hundred people had gathered, and our arrival created quite a stir. Half of the group surrounded us and jockeyed with one another to shake our hands and have their pictures taken with us, after which it was insisted that we eat. The group included pockets of animated young men smoking clove cigarettes and blaring pop music from mobile phones, elderly women wearing headscarves, and lots of adult men wearing the weathered look of hard-working farmers whose fortune had not come easily.
In the tense environment of present day rural Sumatran society, the simple act of gathering together on disputed territory is an act of resistance, and the day's meeting did not go unnoticed. In addition to the undercover character we had met earlier, a group of armed law enforcement personnel — including private security, police officers, and at least one quasi-military looking gentleman — had amassed on the outskirts of the villagers' assembly.
When Pak Datuk stood to speak, everyone circled and fell silent. He spoke with the elegance and authority of a strong and self-assured leader. From the bits whispered to me in translation I understood that he began by stating that his people are bound by three laws. In order, they are God, custom, and then the government. He said the goal of his people is to take action to reclaim their land rights and ancestral territory.
He said his people were given rights by their ancestors and that it is their duty to protect those rights so they can be passed on to their children before they are lost. He said they are bound to be peaceful, to be safe and not to use violence. He said it is crucial they maintain their unity in the face of those who would divide them. He finished each series of pronouncements with the question "Ingat?" (Remember?) or Mengar ti? (Do you understand?) to which the crowd in unison responded "Ingat!" or "Mengar ti!"
When he was finished speaking, other village leaders spoke and details were discussed about what to plant and how to collect and distribute funds to make the provocative planting project possible. When the group disbanded, we drove away with an older, well-dressed village member named Pak Sudirman who guided us to the site a few miles away where their original village stood.
As we passed through a sea of sterile oil palm plantations, crudely dug canals and dry, exposed earth, he told us how rich this land had once been, not so long ago. Before his people were forcibly evicted by the military in the late 1980's, their riverside territory had been habitat for elephants and monkeys, and his village practiced a sustainable form of mixed agroforestry that included crops like rubber trees, cassava, banana, chile, papaya, durien, mango, rambutan, jack fruit and a variety of vegetables.
In a darkly ironic twist, the only natural forest still standing in the area was saved because it was made part of a military bombing range. Entering this verdant forest felt like a full sensory massage. The sight of the towering trees, the feel of the moist air, the smell of dank richness, the sound of birdsong and the buzz of insects stood in stark contrast to the vacuous devastation just outside.
Back at the village where the day began, we shared smokes with the village's men in the home of the traditional village chief. Pak Datuk told us in clear and passionate terms what the demands of his people are for APP, the company behind their conflict. He said the company never asked for their permission to use the land that belongs to them and they have never received any benefit. His demand is for APP to return the land to the community. He followed by asking that customers of APP stop buying products that come from their lands until the important issues of their traditional rights are resolved.
The stories of these people and this place are a microcosm of what's happening all over Sumatra and in Borneo and the rest of Indonesia and Malaysia. People are displaced, forests are cleared, ecosystems are destroyed. Repeat. And until APP and their ilk among the all-powerful logging behemoths are convinced that business as usual is not in their own or Indonesia's interest, these injustices will continue. Our meetings this week with allies and community leaders are a piece in the growth of a larger movement that is gaining momentum here and at home in the US. Companies like APP can no longer expect to act with impunity.

Patient Testimonials
Dear Dr. Mussalli and Dr. Worth,
Some thoughts on unmedicated birth:
Eight weeks after you delivered our perfect, healthy, beautiful son, I finally (!) have a moment to reflect on his birth and the extraordinary circumstances surrounding his magical entrance. The little turkey, already famous at the pediatrician's office for his remarkable strength, is sweetly snoozing… for now.
Throughout my pregnancy, I was delighted by your and Dr. Mussalli's warmth, efficiency and energy, impressed by your smarts, and encouraged by your philosophies and extremely low rate of c-sections. Your commitment to holistic and minimally invasive care just makes sense, and I appreciated the seemingly limitless time you'd spend answering all of my questions and discussing options and anything else that came to my loopy pregnant mind. I looked forward to our visits, and after each one I felt even more confident that no matter what happened when I went into labor, you would steer me wisely and safely. And that "no matter what happened" notion is key… we ladies expecting for the first time know, at least in the back of our minds, that one can plan all one wants, but once the baby takes a notion to getting out, all bets are off. My husband and I had taken a childbirth class, called "Keeping an Open Mind," and we were determined to do just that when it came to labor and our use of medication during it. I thought I would probably want an epidural, late in labor, having held off as long as I could.
My labor was a slow build, progressing over the course of a week, and I think during that week I realized I have a higher tolerance for pain than I had thought I did. Everyone said, "You'll know a real contraction when you have one." But I never felt something that made me think, "this is it." So we sort of took our time about things. You had us go to the hospital for fetal monitoring on Thursday night, where we were offered pain medicine and could have checked in. But I wanted to labor at home, and was still feeling strong, so we declined and left. The next morning, I was ready for any pain medicine anyone would give me. So when we went to your office and you checked me, confirmed everything was fine and said to walk down to the hospital and get my epidural, that's exactly what I hoped would happen. As it turned out, as we strolled on Park Avenue, things started happening really, really quickly and by the time we arrived at the hospital, I was 9cm dilated. I was told that it really is never too late for an epidural, and that they would give me one, but that the baby was ready. I was terrified. I didn't think that without medicine I could handle the rest of what I knew had to happen. But an angel of a labor and delivery nurse, and a few minutes later, you, with a serene, encouraging, preternatural calm that washed over me, too, convinced me that I could do it. And so, without really meaning to, thanks to your support, guidance, confidence and awesomeness, I delivered an eight-pound baby completely unmedicated. You convinced me I could do it, and I did. And it was the best thing I've ever done in my life. It was exhilarating, and in hindsight, I wouldn't have had it any other way. I am so, so grateful that you made me understand that I had the power to do what my body, and my baby, were meant to do, without any drugs. Looking back, I think of how calm you were, how much less scared you made me, and what a beautiful gift you gave me (and my husband and son) and I am filled with the deepest gratitude. When you handed me my little boy, I, and he, were entirely lucid, alert, and active, we were up and moving less than an hour later, we bonded instantly, and we felt like the world was our oyster. Which it has been! We are in heaven.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, and from the whole family, for guiding us so beautifully through the best day of our lives! Someone said to me that she can't wait to get pregnant again, so that she can go back to see you guys… now I get it—I couldn't agree more.
So, hope to see you soon (but not TOO soon!).
Until then, warmest wishes to you both.
All my best - D
Dr. Mussalli and Dr. Worth,
When thinking of a thank you gift suitable to give you we didnt want to give the stereotypical gift. In our experiences with both of you we found you anything but stereotypical. We decided to hone in on who we thought you really were. We looked to history, but the history of obstetrical doctors has not really matched our experience of working with you either. The closest soul mates we could find were midwives, or what they call bean chabartha (Gaelic), ostetrica (Italian), or partera (Spanish). But we knew midwife wasnt exactly right. You two are so much more complex than that. After researching further we found another term, one that seemed a closer fit to who you are (or at least were to us).
The Mayan, while they speak Spanish, do not only use the word partera. Instead there is another term for a particularly special kind of deliverer of babies: a comadrona. A comadrona comes to the work of delivering babies by a calling, a divine gift as the Mayan would say. The comadrona is led to the profession by dreams and pays attention to those dreams and other signs throughout their journey of practice. While both of you no doubt relied on your years of research, experience and study while working with us it often felt as if you were led by dreams as well. It was almost as if you both had a supernatural gift. At no point in my pregnancy, despite the many risks involved, did I ever feel as if I was treated as high risk. You managed to do as you promised and what we said we wanted more than anything keep the joy in our birth experience.
To thank you for helping us continue our family and our own history, we wanted to give a gift that followed the traditions of our ancestries throughout time, some of the traditional gifts given to those who helped women deliver their children. From the Italian: bread and milk. From the Irish: cider and eggs. From the Mexican: beans and corn. From the Mayan the Comadronas a flock of chicks donated to a family in your name.
With gratitude, C, N, S and N
Dear Dr. Worth and Dr. Mussalli,
Some thoughts on vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC):
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate what you did for me and E. When I had my c-section I knew I wanted to attempt a VBAC when I got pregnant again but wasn't fully convinced I would be able to until I switched to your practice. You guys allowed me to believe in myself, my body, and my baby. Thank you so very much for helping me see that my body isn't broken or defective. My body just needed more time -- and in E's case many many hours more!! All the best to you both and I look forward to seeing you the next time!!
M and family

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Southern Nevada Water Authority board has approved a rate hike that will raise residential customers' bills by an estimated $5 a month.
Fees approved at a meeting Wednesday are based on the size of a customer's water line. Small businesses will see an increase of about $36 per month, while a large resort would see its water bill climb by about $2,200 a month.
Water authority officials expect the price hike to generate about $300 million over the next three years to fund infrastructure and pay down construction-related debt.
The water authority is the wholesale supplier for several water districts in the Las Vegas valley. Individual districts will decide exactly how to divide the increased cost.
New fees are expected to show up on customers' bills in May.

Great product. Setup with binding bit was simple, and made perfect cut. Using with the binding bit I easily cut a channel that fit the binding exactly.
These are fantastic bearings. Great quality, they don't mar the edge of the guitar, and they are a perfect fit for stew macs bindings.
Your bearings make easy work of cutting binding/purfling channels. I purchased the .90 bearing and cut my channel using your binding bit. A perfect match and perfect job first time around. Binding fit the channel perfectly. Depth and Height was spot on and there was no need to re-cut, although I did pass along the channel a 2nd time to make sure it was uniform. It was. The extra wide bearing surface allowed for easy travel around the perimeter of the instrument. If you have a binding job, than by all means these bearings, along with the bit, make the perfect binding team and take the worry out of routing binding channels.
When they say .070", they mean .070"! Great and easy to use/install.
This was every thing I hoped for. It works quite well, and the many bearing sizes make it a pleasure to use.
It's great that you have all different size bearings to chose from. They work well with stew/mac router bits.
I have found out that I was doing things the hard way. I started using these bearings with the Stew-Mac router bit and binding channels only take minutes to cut perfectly. The depth of cut is a little bigger then listed but the binding material is usually thicker then listed as well so it all comes out precise in the end.
The new thicker bearings are improved over the old ones, providing better reach below the purfling channel and a smoother surface for less burning. Be careful, though, as Stew Mac's method of sizing has recently changed. These have proven to be good quality bearings. I've only worn out two.
This bearing has held up well with moderate use. I haven't had any problem with seizing or burning with it

Academic Career Experience (ACE) is a collaboration among students, area businesses and Delta College that integrates classroom studies with work experience in a field related to a students' academic or career goals. The ACE Program provides career experience through cooperative education and internships. In both programs, students earn college credit through on-the-job training. Eligible students will have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher as determined by the employer.
Co-op is an academic program providing current Delta students the opportunity to gain valuable, real-life work experience related to their academic or career goals while earning college credit.
Co-op positions:
• require a one-year commitment from both the employer and the student
• are for-credit opportunities
• are paid
• are with businesses in our local community
• require students to work a minimum of 12 hours/week each semester
• arrange students' part-time work schedules to accommodate their full- or part-time class schedules (Delta's traditional co-op program is a parallel program.)
An internship is an academic program providing opportunities for students to gain career-related work experience, determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts and earn college credit.
• require a one semester commitment from both the employer and the student
• are for-credit opportunities
• can be paid or unpaid
• can be with businesses located throughout the state or country
• require students to work between 180 - 225 hours per semester
• Real-life experience that informs and enhances classroom learning
• Builds the student's resume
• Students are more likely to remain in school because they see the need for a degree
• Employer offers a safe worksite that is free from discrimination and harassment
• Mentoring available on daily basis from professionals in the workplace
• Co-op is paid work, and some internships are paid work
• Work schedule that fits around the student's classes
• Concurrent ACE courses offer ongoing professional development
• Supervisor evaluation each semester with suggestions for improvement
• Workplace often offers varying assignments and increasing complexity of work activities
WE ARE NOT JOB PLACEMENT. The ACE program is only for students seeking to gain work experience in their chosen fields of study while earning college credit through a classroom experience coupled with on-the-job applications. This program may not be appropriate for all Delta Students.
Steps to becoming an ACE student!
Failure to do any of the following will result in your file being made obsolete and participation privileges revoked:
Being chosen for a co-op or internship is not a guarantee. Your chances of placement are based on employer need and your skill set.
Being chosen for a co-op or internship is not a guarantee. Your chances of placement are based on employer need and your skill set.
Before you are hired, employers and/or the ACE Office will contact you by telephone and/or your Delta College e-mail account:
After you are hired, the ACE Office's primary source of communication with you is through a professional e-mail account. Any e-mail account (i.e., @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com or @delta.edu) will be accepted as long as it is professional.
If you schedule an interview, you are expected to show up for that interview:
95% of employers interviewed said a job seeker's personal appearance affected the employer's opinion of that applicant's suitability for a job.
61% said dress and grooming had an effect on subsequent promotions as well.
Do you have an interview or new job and nothing to wear? Students can shop Delta's Closet - FREE of charge - for professional apparel for such events. The campus store offers professional clothing, shoes, and accessories at no cost to Delta students with their college ID. Agency referrals for non-Delta students may be considered. Students who want to shop Delta's Closet or make a donation should contact the director, Lori Ziolkowski, at 989-686-9384 or email@example.com.
The resume doesn't get you the job; it only gets you noticed. Therefore, it is important to be honest in all your communications with potential employers:
Once you have accepted an offer, you:
Your decision is final. Make sure you will be able to stand by it!
NOTE: ACE courses for internships vary. See the ACE Office for details.
If your major is: Business & Human Services, take these courses:
If your major is: Communications & Sciences, take these courses:
If your major is Health, take these courses:
If your major is Technical & Industrial, take these courses:
(face-to-face or CNET)
(independent study)
You and your site supervisor will plan a work schedule that accommodates your school schedule.
Other employment is permitted; however, it is not recommended. Your education and ACE employment take priority over any other employment.
Everybody has a tough semester now and then. If you find yourself doing poorly in a class, schedule a meeting with the ACE office immediately.
Contact the ACE office before dropping any class
Every minute you are at work is very important to you and your employer.
You are representing yourself, the company, and Delta College.
What you do at work is not a "made-up" job designed to keep you busy; your employer needs you.

11 Titanic myths James Cameron made you think were realIt's been 102 years since the 'Titanic' sank on April 15, 1912. But how much of what you know about that fateful night is based in fact and how much is based in film? While James Cameron was obsessive about getting many details right in his 1997 Oscar-winning blockbuster, he was careless about many others. Here's a look at 11 of his film's most egregious errors.

Baby's first Royal tour: The Instagram editionWe're only halfway through the Cambridges' tour of Australia and New Zealand, but it's already been sooo good. The best way to get an inside look at what's been happening Down Under is through Prince George's Instagram, which is royally awesome (and royally fake, but why nitpick?). But if you were hoping to find pictures of anyone other than Prince George, think again. As with any human under the age of two, there is only one star in the room: him. By Denette Wilford

Bad Vibrations
How to find shakes and rattles while the car rolls
No matter what kind of wheel balancer you have, its calibration should be checked at least once a month. The job is easy because only three things are needed: a straight wheel, wheel weights and the owner's manual.
The procedure varies depending on the manufacturer and the machine, but the basic concept is the same. A wheel of known dimensions is spun and a baseline measurement is taken. Next, a known amount of weight is added to create an imbalance. The wheel is spun again, and if the imbalance matches the added weight, calibration is correct. If it's not correct, that's when you need the owner's manual.
It may be simple, but there are some important details. First of all, the wheel must be straight. Some balancers require a wheel of specific size, and if a cone is used to center the wheel on the balancer shaft, the wheel must be hub centric (many wheels are centered by the studs, not the hub). Some shops keep a new steel wheel as their 'calibration' wheel.
Some balancers are shipped with the calibration weights that were used when the machine was built. These must be used to check calibration in the shop too. Whether using those weights or your own, calibration weights are usually fairly hefty, at least 3 ounces (85 grams). This makes the procedure easier and more accurate.
Hub Centered vs Stud Centered
There are two different ways to center the wheel on an axle: hub-centric and stud-centric. Hub-centric wheels fit onto a slight extension of the hub or axle. This keeps the tire mounting bead concentric with the axle. Many aftermarket wheels are hub-centric but have an oversized hub hole, so centering rings are used to make them fit the vehicle. Trucks and SUVs typically use wheels that are centered by the studs. The hole in the center of the wheel may be centered, BUT NOT ALWAYS.
When mounting wheels on a wheel balancer, you need to know which type of wheel you're working with. For stud-centric wheels, an adapter plate is needed. They are available with every wheel balancer, and there are several aftermarket adapters too. Most are adjustable for different bolt patterns. When mounting a wheel on an adapter, make sure to torque the nuts evenly.
Chassis Vibrations
Wheels and tires are only one possible source of road vibration, especially in our customer's older 3,700-pound full-frame 4WD truck. Vibration can come from other parts of the chassis, including axles or driveshafts, wheel bearings, worn suspension bushings and even faulty motor mounts.
Almost any vibration that can be felt produces noise too. Most techs have used a long screwdriver as a stethoscope to locate noise, but that's not really possible when the car is being driven. However, there are tools designed for exactly that purpose.
Steelman's Chassis Ears are small radio transmitters that have a clamp with a built-in microphone. With the clamp attached to a suspected problem area, the transmitter is secured to the vehicle and the signal from this electronic stethoscope is sent to a 4-channel receiver. A tech can listen to each transmitter one at a time while someone else drives. It takes practice and experience with known-good vehicles, but this tool can help you quickly find the exact location of any noise or vibration from gears, bearings or suspension pieces while under load. It's especially useful on trailers (transmitter range is 50 feet).
A Black Art
Like using scanners and scopes to diagnose engine problems, finding a chassis vibration is an art. A bad axle bearing or dragging brake caliper might produce more vibration than noise, and finding it requires imagination and resourcefulness, plus the ability to 'think outside the box.' So imagine how you would like to test your theory, then look in your toolbox, look around the shop and look in the pages of this magazine to find the tools that will help you get the job done.

A debate is heating up over the idea of universal enrollment. FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson explains what that would mean for students in the district.
School Officials say a Universal Enrollment Process would save the district time and money in addition to helping parents choose the right school for their child, but some parents aren't so sure.
Groups of parents, educators and students got a closer look at what the Philadelphia School District calls universal enrollment.
The district wants to simplify its student enrollment process so that parents would have to fill out only one form to allow their child to apply to any school within the district.
Officials say the process would then help parents choose the kind of school they want their child to attend whether it is a district school, charter, or school within the Archdiocese.
Right now school choice involves several applications and deadlines. Some parents fear the district is giving up on public schools and sending parents the message to look at other options.
"This conversation takes away from investment in neighborhood public schools. What parents really want is a concentrated focus prioritization and attention paid to neighborhood schools which are really struggling, and the district needs to pay attention to that rather than tell people to get out," Helen Gym, a parent said.
"I understand why they want to do it. Will it work? I don't know. I loved the ideas they have," Ieshia Brumfield, a parent said.
"If all schools are equal and all schools are equitable you don't need to have universal enrollment. It doesn't matter what school you go to if they're all presenting the same curriculum and that's the major problem but until we get there what do we do" Clarence Pemberton, Jr., a parent said.
Advocates of the plan are also scheduling meetings with individual charter schools and parochial schools to get feedback on the plan.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

The Raiders rode the strong pitching performance of sophomore Megan Dettling to the win. She finished the mercy-rule shortened game with nine strikeouts, three walks and two hits over five innings of work for the shutout victory.
"Nine strikeouts is probably close to her average," Reed coach Jon Wunder said. "She and Jacquelyn (Sertic) are working hard right now and they're carrying our load right now. We have high expectations of Megan and she did a good job and lived up to them. It just shows that she plays a lot over the summer and she's got a lot of experience.
"So we had a great pitching performance by Megan and our defense was solid behind her. I don't think we had an error all game. I was very pleased with our offense and our bats. Their pitcher had a little trouble finding the strike zone and we were patient. We made the adjustments we had to make to the pitching. We did a good job of hitting the ball down and up the middle which sometimes can be a challenge. Overall, I was happy and pleased with how disciplined at the plate we were."
While Dettling was strong in the circle, the Colts strained from the rubber, walking 12 and hitting two. Regardless of their opponent's struggles, the Raiders didn't make things easy at the dish as they sprayed 11 hits all over the field throughout the game.
"The one thing we talked about is not letting who you play dictate the level of intensity of your game," Wunder said. "Whether you're playing the best team, a middle team or whatever, you have to make the necessary adjustments and that's something that we stress all the time, but we put a little more emphasis on it this week.
"We just have to adjust to the type of pitcher that you face, whether it be someone who is throwing outside or someone that tends to throw the ball up. You just have to be disciplined and have a quality at-bat. That's the key. The blue is going to be widening the strike zone and you should be widening yours. As a hitter you want to be aggressive. You want to get hits. No one is looking for walks so widen that strike zone, because if you won't, the ump will. They did a good job of that and we kept the intensity up in every inning."
The Blue and Gold wasted no time jumping on the visitors. After a single from senior Cori Gammon got the bats going for the Raiders, three walks and hit batsman put Reed ahead 2-0. An error on a throw home allowed another run to cross the plate before junior Laura Frost hit a single up the middle to plate two more, as the Raiders batted through the order en route to a 5-0 lead at the end of the first inning.
Reed tacked on another run in the bottom of the second on a single into right field by junior Danaya Thompson.
In the bottom frame of the third, the home team had another offensive outburst. With the first three batters reaching base safely on walks, the stage was set for a big inning and the Raiders took advantage, batting through the order again.
Frost hit a bloop single over first base to plate senior Andi Lee before another walk pushed the lead to 8-0. A double from junior Mary Dettling sent two more home for Reed, followed by a two-RBI single from senior Makaela Moore, leaving the scoreboard reading 12-0 in favor of the Raiders. Another single and free pass to first loaded the sacs yet again. Junior Lindsay Yearman delivered this time with a single into center field that scored two more. At the end of three, the Blue and Gold held a 14-0 advantage.
The Raiders added four more insurance runs in the bottom of the fourth. Moore singled in a run, followed by a bases-loaded walk. Lee then brought home another run with a single through the middle before a fielder's choice allowed Moore to touch home, resulting in the 18-0 final.
Moore and Thompson led the Raiders in the batter's box, as Moore went 2-for-3 with three RBI and Thompson finished the game 2-for-2 and an RBI.
Reed (5-2 overall, 2-0 in Northern 4A) faces off with rival Reno on Thursday at 3:45 p.m. at Shadow Mountain Park.

Yesterday's Cabinet decision to pull out of the Gaza Strip has set the timetable in motion for the expulsion of 9,000 Jewish settlers. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz signed evacuation orders that will clear the way for dismantling 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza and four more in Samaria. The evacuation is expected to begin around July 24th and will take from seven to nine weeks. A week or two before it starts, the army will seal off the area to prevent settlers from Judea and Samaria from arriving for mass protests. Gaza settlers who refuse to leave, will be removed by force.

Student Managed Investment Funds
Thanks to the generous support of both corporate and individual donors, our students have the opportunity to gain investment experience in managing our three student-run investment funds. The students make real stock purchase and sell decisions, and the research experience our students receive goes well beyond the classroom lecture approach in teaching about risk management and investments. Currently, more than $800,000 is invested in these three student-managed funds.
The TVA Investment Challenge - Since 1998, our students have been a part of this TVA program that has provided funds for this "challenge" event. Our students manage TVA monies in competition with student teams from more than 20 other 4-year institutions located in the TVA service area. The TVA Investment Funds rules stipulate that the students must keep the assets fully invested in equities. The focus of the investment strategy is on blue-chip, high-capitalization firms.
The Heidtke Investment Fund - Alumnus Buzz Heidtke, who manages Heidtke and Associates in Nashville, provided a gift of $100,000 to create a student-managed investment fund focusing on small- and micro-capitalization stocks.
The Tommy Lynn Fund - To provide annual operating monies to maintain the Tommy Lynn Suite, a $50,000 endowed fund was vested. Earnings from the fund will be used for equipment/furnishings replacement and continued upkeep of the classroom-conference room suite.
