Compassionate Help for Families of Addicts
At Destination Hope, we understand that drug or alcohol addiction affects the entire family, not just the addict.
Addiction takes its toll on friends, family, and people who are closest to the addicted individual. We frequently treat clients who have little interaction with their families, or whose relationships have been strained by poor communication and lack of understanding. Strained relationships can fuel the addict to relapse, even after a successful course of treatment.
Our goal is not only to help addicts achieve sobriety, but also to provide help for families of addicts. Through the family program, we treat the individual and loved ones impacted by addiction.
Repairing and Restoring Family Relationships
During treatment, it is important to involve families in order to explore, address, and deal with issues within the family dynamic. We provide help for families of addicts in order to work through what you and the client have experienced, help you set healthy boundaries, and rebuild trusting relationships.
Our family program includes:
- Individual family therapy sessions
- Group family therapy sessions
- Intensive family weekend workshops
We encourage all of our clients and families to participate in the family therapy program as it truly makes a difference in the treatment process.Start the Admissions Process
Help Is One Step Away
We're Here For You 24/7
Getting to the Root of the Problem
During our family therapy sessions, we can often find the root cause of the problem that may have led the loved one to abuse drugs and alcohol. Once we've determined the root of the problem, individual and group counseling sessions help the client and their family begin to reshape their relationship.
The road to recovery is fragile. But with support, persistence, and an open heart, great progress can be made in a short period of time. Meaningful sobriety is the type that outlasts the temptations we all experience on a daily basis. For a person going through drug or alcohol treatment, a supportive community of family and friends can be the difference between continuing recovery and relapse.
Individual & Group Family Therapy for Addiction
During treatment, counseling sessions will be completed with families and can also be completed with individual family members. Caring and compassionate members of our team will facilitate sessions to establish lines of communication in an honest and open environment.
If you have a family member who is unable to go to the facility, video conferencing or telephone conferencing may be used.Talk To A Counselor Now
Intensive Family Weekend Workshops
During intensive family weekend workshops, a variety of treatment techniques will be used to engage family members in the treatment process. Along with group therapy sessions, family members may engage in educational sessions, such as lectures and workshops, to provide attendees with more knowledge in addiction. Quality time will also be spent with those in recovery to get updates on their loved one's progress and provide them with the support they need during this challenging time.
At Destination Hope, we understand that the definition of family has changed over time. Parents, spouses, children, and close friends of the patient, may be able to participate in our family program.
Along with our family program, aftercare is available to both patients who complete treatment and their family members. Former clients and their families are welcome back to the facility for family night. During the meeting, participants will receive peer support along with educational information on the disease of addiction.
Contact us to learn more about family therapy for addiction. A family in recovery grows and heals together.

Why these celeb marriages stood the test of time
Why these celeb marriages stood the test of time
ACTRESS Jennifer Garner has made a rare public appearance with her children during the unveiling of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Juno and Dallas Buyers Club star appeared at the event with Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9 and Samuel, 6.
Her ex-husband Ben Affleck was not present, despite recent signs of reconciliation between the pair.
Garner and Affleck met on the set of the 2005 mobie Daredevil and married soon after, but shocked Hollywood when they announced their split on June 20, 2015 — one day after their 10-year anniversary.
The Texas-born actress has appeared in more than 30 films in a career spanning more than two decades but is just as famous for her television work that has seen her garlanded with some of the industry's top awards.
"Today for me is a moment to mark 24 years really joyfully lived, in a job that I love so much. And to get to share with my family and friends is pretty amazing and special," the 46-year-old star told AFP.
Sporting a new side-swept shorter hairdo, Garner was modest about her achievements.
"This is a career that you can take some credit for, but not much. Luck plays a big part," she said.
Actors Steve Carell and Bryan Cranston — who starred with Garner respectively in the 2014 comedy Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and 2016's Wakefield — also paid glowing tributes to the actress.
Also on hand to celebrate was Judy Greer, who appeared alongside Garner in 2004 fantasy comedy-romance 13 Going on 30 and 2014 comedy-drama Men, Women and Children before directing her in the 2017 comedy, A Happening of Monumental Proportions.
Born April 17, 1972, in Houston, Garner and her family moved to Charleston, West Virginia, when she was three.
From musical theatre to A-list
Garner enjoyed amateur musical theatre and joined the Charleston Light Opera Guild, taking piano, singing and ballet lessons and playing saxophone in the George Washington High School marching band.
She graduated from Ohio's Denison University in 1994 and made her television debut in Danielle Steel's Zoya, a 1995 NBC miniseries about Russia in 1917.
In 2001, Garner got the role that catapulted her onto the A-list, as CIA agent Sydney Bristow in ABC series Alias, which ran for five seasons.
Garner received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for the part, as well as four outstanding lead actress nominations at the Emmys.
It was during this period that she turned seriously to movie acting, and her 35 big screen roles have included acclaimed turns in Juno (2007), Dallas Buyers Club (2013) and Love, Simon (2018).
In Peppermint, due for US release on September 7, Garner portrays a woman who becomes a vigilante after her husband and daughter are killed in a drive-by shooting by members of a cartel.

People may be reading less individually, but at Flavorwire, Jason Diamond claims that we're in a "golden age of online book clubs."
The 2009 publication of Joseph O'Neill's Netherland seems to have struck a chord: This fall will see the release of Jhumpa Lahiri's Lowland, Stephen King's Joyland, Curtis Sittenfeld's Sisterland, Alysia Abbott's Fairyland, Christopher Steward's Jungleland, and Amy Sohn's Motherland. And what's with the overuse of "land" in contemporary book titles? "'Land' is the new 'Nation,' a modifier that hints at larger zeitgeisty themes while also intriguing the reader," Amy Sohn tells the New York Times.
In this week's depressing study about changing cultural reading habits, a new survey finds that fewer and fewer parents are reading their kids bedtime stories. According to the Littlewoods study, "In a poll of 2,000 British parents with children under the age of seven, only one in five said they read a book to their child every night. In fact, 36 percent of parents don't read bedtime stories to their children at all."
Mario Vargas Llosa's next novel, The Discreet Hero, will be set in his native Peru. The Nobel Prize-winning author announced this week "that the plot centers on a small business owner from [the Peruvian city of] Piura who is an extortion victim, and a rich Lima entrepreneur whose children want to kill him."
The National Book Foundation has unveiled this year's list of the "5 Under 35," an annual award that honors five of the top writers under 35, and this year's list is all women. The winners are Molly Antopol, NoViolet Bulawayo, Amanda Coplin, Daisy Hildyard, and Merritt Tierce.
People have started to talk more about the gender disparity in publishing, but the near total lack of people of color in the literary world is a topic that often goes unmentioned. Roxane Gay is now making an effort to make it a bigger issue: She recently started blogging at The Nation about writers of color, and launched a series at Salon about feminists of color.

What is a Reverse Mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is a unique type of home loan that allows homeowners that are age 62 or older to tap into their home equity without the obligation of monthly mortgage payments.
A reverse mortgage, unlike a home equity loan or a traditional mortgage, does not require any income or credit qualifications, and does not require any repayment of the loan until the last borrower passes away or leaves the home for 12 consecutive months.
Do I Qualify if I Still Owe Money on My Home?
If you have enough equity in your home to pay off your current mortgage balance with the money you get from a reverse mortgage, then you qualify.
Your reverse mortgage loan proceeds will be used to pay off your current
mortgage. If you do not qualify for a high enough loan amount on a reverse mortgage to pay off your entire loan balance then you will be responsible to contribute the shortfall amount from your own assets.
If you are eligible for a higher loan amount than is needed to pay off your current mortgage, then the balance of the money from your reverse mortgage can be distributed to you in a lump sum, a line of credit, monthly supplemental income, or a combination of these options.
Who Owns My Home If I Get a Reverse Mortgage?
You Do. You retain title to your home. The bank does NOT own your home if you take out a reverse mortgage. The lender has a mortgage lien on your home the same way that the lender did when you first bought your home using a traditional "forward" mortgage loan.
Will I Lose My Social Security or Medicare Benefits if I Get a Reverse Mortgage?
No. Your Social Security and Medicare Benefits are not affected if you get a reverse mortgage. However, if you receive needs based benefits or other federal or state assisted programs that are based on income levels or other
specified qualifications, you should check with your benefit coordinator or case worker to find out if receiving proceeds from a reverse mortgage could impact your continued qualification for those other programs.
What if I Have Bad Credit?
Having bad credit or a low credit score does not disqualify you from getting a reverse mortgage. Reverse mortgage qualification is based on the amount of home equity you have, the age of the youngest borrower on the title to your home, and the current interest rates at the time you close your loan.
Will My Family Have to Pay the Lender if The Reverse Mortgage Loan Balance is More Than My Home is Worth When I Pass Away?
A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan. This means that your home, stands ALONE for the debt. If your house cannot be sold for the amount that is owed on the reverse mortgage, then the FHA mortgage insurance fund pays the lender the shortfall amount.
Your family is not obligated to pay the difference, unless they want to keep the home. In that case, they will have to refinance the home with a new "forward" or traditional mortgage in order to pay off the reverse mortgage. If they cannot get a new mortgage for the full amount, they will have to contribute the difference. This would be similar to them making a down payment to purchase a home.
Is The Interest on a Reverse Mortgage Tax Deductible?
Concerning tax questions, it is always wise to seek the advice of a licensed tax professional, since tax laws are constantly changing. However, it is widely accepted that reverse mortgage interest is deductible at the time the loan
is paid off.
Since you are not making payments on a reverse mortgage and you are not reducing the principal balance on the loan, you are not actually paying interest while the loan is outstanding. Instead, you are deferring the interest
until you pass away or permanently leave your home, at which time the reverse mortgage is paid off.
What Happens if My Spouse Passes Away? Will I Be Kicked Out of My Home?
If both of you were on title and took out the reverse mortgage together, you can remain in your home and continue to receive the benefits from your reverse mortgage as long as you live in your home as your primary residence. If you leave your home for 12 consecutive months or if you pass away, your reverse mortgage must be paid off.
Can I Still Leave My House To My Heirs?
Yes, you can still leave your home to your heirs the same way you could if you still had a regular "forward" mortgage on your home. Your heirs will simply have to either refinance your home to pay off the reverse mortgage, or they can sell your home to pay off the reverse mortgage. The excess equity or proceeds from the sale of your home is their inheritance.
If My Home Is In a Trust Can I Still Get a Reverse Mortgage?
In most cases the answer is yes, as long as the trust is revocable. However, to be sure, your lender will examine your trust documents to be sure that it will allow for the recording of a reverse mortgage loan.
You should also check with the attorney that created your trust for a legal opinion.
Why Do I Have to Get Reverse Mortgage Counseling Before I Can Apply for This Type of Loan?
HUD approved reverse mortgage counseling is mandatory and is an important consumer protection feature for this kind of loan. HUD and AARP have worked together over many years to ensure that senior citizens are not pushed into a reverse mortgage without fully understanding the pros and cons as well as the costs.
HUD approved counselors have been trained to explore with you, all the alternative options that might be available to you and to answer your questions in an unbiased fashion. The counselors have nothing to gain whether you get a reverse mortgage or not. Whereas, a loan agent or a reverse mortgage lender is monetarily compensated if they provide a reverse mortgage loan for you.
What if My Home is a Condominium?
If your home is a condominium, it must be a HUD/FHA approved condominium project. If it is not, you may want to go to your condominium board meeting and discuss the idea of applying for FHA project approval. This not only helps you to get a reverse mortgage, but it helps current owners interested in selling their condo now or in the future.
As we all know, the most popular mortgage financing program available since the financial meltdown, is FHA. FHA allows for the smallest down payment of any mortgage loans being offered today (other than VA, if you are a military Veteran.) If your condo association has not applied for FHA approval status, they are limiting their pool of perspective qualified buyers for the units for sale within your complex.
Can I Buy a House With a Reverse Mortgage?
Yes, you can purchase a home using a reverse mortgage as long as you have a substantial down payment to contribute to the purchase price. A combination of your own down payment money and the proceeds from a reverse mortgage will make up the total purchase price for the new home.
You will never have to make a mortgage payment on the new home as long as you use the home as your primary residence. More details regarding how to buy a house with a reverse mortgage can be found here, or you can call our office at 888-269-1098 for more information.

ComiXology Users Urged to Change Passwords After Hack
User of the popular ComiXology online comics platform have been urged by company officials to change their passwords after they disclosed an intrusion event that resulted in the exposure of account information, including hashes used in encrypting passwords for the site.
Thus far, it appears that no payment information was compromised in the breach, but often it takes days or weeks for investigators to determine the full extent of a data loss event, as we have seen in the recent Target and related breaches.
The company issued the following email notification, as reported by BleedingCool.com, which includes a cautionary note about the potential for users whose information was compromised to be the targets of phishing campaigns:
Dear Comics Reader,
In the course of a recent review and upgrade of our security infrastructure, we determined that an unauthorized individual accessed a database of ours that contained usernames, email addresses, and cryptographically protected passwords.
Payment account information is not stored on our servers.
Even though we store our passwords in protected form, as a precautionary measure we are requiring all users to change their passwords on the comiXology platform and recommend that you promptly change your password on any other website where you use the same or a similar password. You can reset your comiXology.com password here.
We have taken additional steps to strengthen our security procedures and systems, and we will continue to implement improvements on an ongoing basis.
Please note that we will never ask you for personal or account information in an e-mail, so exercise caution if you receive emails that ask for personal information or direct you to a site where you are asked to provide personal information.
We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact us by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
The acknowledgement that passwords were being protected by advanced a cryptographic hash value is encouraging, as breaches in recent years have demonstrated that many companies merely store passwords in plain text, or with weak non-hashed encryption.

Justin Martyr
Even in the earliest days of the church, defenders of the faith were needed to help those outside of Christ understand His gospel rightly as well as to help those Christians being persecuted for their faith defend and proclaim it. Justin Martyr was among the first apologists in Rome to step up and speak out to the world about what it meant to truly follow Christ.

It's August already. I am not quite sure how this has happened. A friend just said to me about meeting in December and despite thinking "ahhh, all the way at the end of the year, grrrr", I suddenly thought to myself, "ohh, that's not actually that far away".
I meant to share my KitKit, well, at least a photo of it a few months ago. This blog is dedicated to a present gifted to me by my friend Seb Wilkins. On a holiday to the far east, he bought me back a green tea flavoured KitKat. His holiday was quite a few months ago and I meant to take a photo, try it, and write a review. It has been in my "to do" area. Why do I omit from just "doing"? Perhaps because I do everything else or something else? Anyway, this delay warrants a full blog post.
It is a coincidence, and perhaps what spurred me on to try the KitKat, that just yesterday I saw a Guardian article entitled "Have a break, have a wasabi-flavoured KitKat". I didn't realise until reading this article how wide the variety of flavours is in Japan. When I think of a KitKat, I think of two thin fingered like strips of a milk-chocolate covered biscuit which are joined together. This snack has been around for 82 years and I didn't think it extended to any other flavours but apparently here you can also get dark chocolate, peanut butter and cookie dough.
Over in Japan, and I assume anywhere else in Asia, there are more than 300 flavours floating around. Sitting here looking at my Green Tea flavoured bar, I didn't realise there is such a cultural difference. Something so simple as a KitKat has come to mean something so different to different cultures and peoples. The above article states about the how different flavours were attempted in the early noughties in the United Kingdom but that saw overall sales decline. The opposite can be said of the Japanese example with sales continuing to flourish as more flavours are introduced as well as a new concept of a KitKat boutique offering a custom pack for £24. What.
I opened the KitKat wrapper and there was a green four-fingers KitKat. I broke off one finger and ate half of it. And it was soon gone. It tasted great!
I'd like to thank Seb very much for the present.

From John Adams to François Adriaan Van der Kemp, 2 October 1818
Quincy> Montezillo Oct. 2. 1818
Dear Sir.
As Misery is Said to derive Some consolation from the Misery of others; your Letter of 18. Septr. has given me Some miserable Comfort, to find <
to find> that your Batavian Predecessors in New York were not much more tollerant than my Yankee Ancestors in New England.
But I admire your East India Company and their Director, and their Threat, of the Authority of their H. M. the States General. How can it have happened that Holland Should have been the Berceau of Tolleration?
Your West India Company appear to have preceeded Thomasius, Voltaire and Jefferson.
Religion always has, and always will govern Mankind. Man is constitutionally, essentially and unchangeably a religious Animal. Neither Phylosophers, or Politicians can ever govern him in any other Way, I will not condescend to employ the Word Tolleration: I assert that unlimitted Freedom of Religion, consistent with Morals and Property, is essential to the Progress of Society And the Amelioration of the Condition of Mankind.
The Visit of my Children Short as it has been has been to me as high a gratification as my nature and Age can receive. To the Candour of the World And the favour of Heaven, they and You, my Country and all my Friends are recommended by your old Friend / and humble Servant
John Adams

When building a new set of cabinets, or just upgrading an existing set, you'll need to measure the drawers for new drawer slides. There are many styles of drawer slides, each with their own specifications for the drawer to fit correctly. The do-it-yourself handyman can measure for drawer slides with just a tape measure, pencil and paper.
Open the drawer of an existing cabinet and remove it to gain access to the face frame. The face frame is the wood on the front of the cabinet that the cabinet doors mount upon.
Place a tape measure through the drawer opening and measure the cabinet's depth. The tape needs to extend from the back of the cabinet to the inside of the cabinet's face frame. This is the maximum depth that your drawer hardware can be. Most drawer slides are designed to work within 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) of this dimension.
Place the tip of the tape measure to the left of the rough opening and pull it straight across to the opposite side. You are measuring the distance between the two stiles of the face frame. This is the width of the rough opening. Write down this dimension; you will need it when you order your drawers. Most drawer hardware requires 1.2 cm (1/2 inch) of space between the drawer side and the face frame.
Measure the height of the cabinet rough opening. Most drawer slides need a minimum of 6 mm (1/4 inch) below the drawer and 2.5 cm (1 inch) above the drawer. If ordering new drawers, the cabinet supplier will need this dimension.
Check the specifications for the drawer hardware that you are using for specific dimension requirements.

Uh oh, another Baptist youth pastor stands charged with having sexual contact with minors. "Minors", that is plural. It makes me wonder what kind of controls Spring Creek Baptist church had in place.
Jonathan Tyler Giles, the former youth minister at Spring Creek Baptist Church, has been charged with three counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, sexual battery by an authority figure and two counts of soliciting a minor.
"Everyone is concerned when allegations like these are made," said the Rev. Paul Bunger, senior pastor at Spring Creek Baptist on Trenton Road. "We are praying for all of the parties involved."
Get your checkbook out Pastor Bunger. If convicted, the parents will be coming after you for compensation. You are supposed to setup controls to protect your children from predatory youth pastors, remember? Or, did you miss that memo?
I checked the church website. There is no mention of Jonathan Giles nor any mention of the sexual misconduct case on the church website. I do not understand why churches take this approach. It would seem that transparency is their best approach. I left this message on their church Guestbook.
What is it that your church does to protect itself from pedophile Baptist youth pastors? Why is it that Jonathan Tyler Giles was able to allegedly abuse children without church leadership being aware of what he was doing? What kind of oversight program do you have in place?
And finally, why it is that no mention of this is made on your website? It is almost like you want it to go away.
What do you think? Will my post last for more than a day?
Please leave your own message. I am really curious about how these people tick now that I'm paying more attention to the whole Baptist cover-up of clergy sexual abuse.

We all know that walking is some of the best medicine for our bones and our whole selves. But sometimes a joint is tender, or sometimes we feel "out of joint", out of synch. Who would think that slow, gentle movement might be the way to restore our joints to innocence . . . ?!
What is Movement Intelligence (Bones for Life)?
90 gentle processes to free your body inside & out, created by Ruthy Alon of the Feldenkrais Method when she was 65 years old to restore our joints to innocence. Ruthy worked with her own osteopenia and rounded back and is now 87 years young, vibrant, and no longer osteopenic! Inspired by African water carriers whose posture and ease in their bodies have been shown to be more efficient and stronger than even the best athletes & Navy SEALS!
What is Feldenkrais Method?
Begun by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904 - 1984) who helped invent radium with the Curies, invented SONAR during World War 2, judo master, speaker of at least nine languages, and somatic pioneer. Feldenkrais continually injured his knee to the point where he was not able to walk. When told that he would never walk again without surgery to attach broken ligaments in the 1940s, he pioneered a way of using his body — slowly, gently, with ease — to re-educate his way of walking and restore his joints and nervous system to innocence. Feldenkrais Method includes voice-guided group classes called Awareness through Movement & one-on-one, hands-on, gentle movement called Functional Integration.

Koch, Stetina ride to junior national titles
Koch rode to a win with a little show of sportsmanship by Geist (Photo: Casey B. Gibson)
After 53 miles of racing, Koch and Geist were together inside of the final mile calculating their strategies and preparing for a possible two-up sprint when Koch�s chain suddenly dislodged itself from the chainring � a move that should have ended her hopes right then and there. But instead of making a selfish dash to the finish line, Geist sat up and waited for Koch to get assistance from the caravan before continuing on.
From there, the two riders continued towards the finish where Koch barely outsprinted Geist to take the national championship and an automatic nomination to represent the United States at the junior world championships this August in Austria.
Factor in the fact that Koch also narrowly edged Geist by 13 seconds one day earlier to capture the junior women�s 17-18 time trial national title and Geist�s gesture becomes even more impressive.
�It was awesome that she waited for me because I was freaking out,� said Koch afterwards. Right before the roundabout, maybe like 3k to go, my chain fell off and I couldn�t get it back on without getting off my bike and Danny jumped out of the car and put it back on for me. It was really nice of her, because she really didn�t have to do that.�
Stetina led the Team 5280 Magazine 1-2 punch (Photo: Casey B. Gibson)
Koch improved upon her third-place finish in 2004 as the 18-year-old competes in her final year of eligibility in the junior ranks.
In the other internationally recognized category held on Thursday, Peter Stetina (Boulder, Colo.) was the first rider across the line in the junior men�s 17-18 race. Stetina crossed the line hand-in-hand with teammate and last year�s junior men�s 15-16 champion Tejay Van Garderen (Fort Collins, Colo.).
A field of 133 riders endured a windy day that made the already challenging course more difficult. Early on in the 78 mile race, a small collection of top junior riders escaped from the main field. After an earlier failed attempt at an initial solo breakaway, Spencer Beamer (Knoxville, Tenn.) attacked the group again and successfully mounted a significant advantage. Still 14 miles and two serious climbs to the finish, the altitude, terrain and severe headwind doomed the chances of Beamer as Stetina and Nick Frey (Des Moines, Iowa) caught and passed Beamer near the top of the first climb.
Near the top of the second and longer climb, Van Garderen had bridged across to the two leaders and it became a simple game of numbers.
Park City continues to provide a stunning backdrop for nationals (Photo: Casey B. Gibson)
Van Garderen and Stetina dropped Frey and arrived at the finish line together with Van Garderen giving the elder Stetina the win in an uncontested sprint.
�I�ve never won a national championship before and he has nine,� said Stetina of the decision on which of the Team 5280 Magazine riders would take the win. �He�s already got a more guaranteed spot for the world championships, but now if we have two teammates over there it would be a lot better. He was just extremely strong. I think he was actually a little stronger that I was today.�
In total, eight junior national championships were awarded today. Other winners included Hannah Hayduck (Kutztown, Pa.) in the junior women�s 10-12, Justin Koelbl (Fairfax Station, Va.) in the junior men�s 10-12, Katlin Antonneau (Racine, Wis.) in the junior women�s 13-14, Stephen Koelbl (Fairfax Station, Va.) in the junior men�s 13-14, Danielle Haulman (Denver, Colo. ) in the junior women�s 15-16, and Daniel Summerhill (Centennial, Colo.) in the junior men�s 15-16.
The Park City Cycling Festival continues on Friday with criterium racing in the junior and U23 categories.

5:24 p.m. Rain is coming down harder. Speaker just asked those protesting who do not want to 'get involved' to move toward back of crowd.
4:59 p.m. March has stopped in front of bc place and choir is supposed to start singing. But a competing live band nearby just started its set.
4:25 p.m. Rally movement paused for speeches, and crowd is 2 blocks from bc place -- the opening ceremony venue.

- Engineering Science (B.S.)
Faculty Contact
Additional Program Information
Engineers are essential to an evolving world. We change lives by designing and creating practical solutions to some of society's most significant challenges. We dream big, and then we work together to turn those ideas into reality.
If you want to do work that has a direct and positive impact on the world, pays well, involves creative collaboration with great people, lets you travel and gives you flexibility in your career, you should become an engineer.
What is distinctive about studying engineering science at Sweet Briar?
The Sweet Briar College Margaret Jones Wyllie '45 Engineering Program is an interdisciplinary program that bridges mechanical and electrical engineering. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, our program offers elective courses in environmental engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.
Students thrive in our small, connected engineering community. Faculty make engineering engaging and relevant through a wide range of hands-on engineering projects, starting from our first engineering course and continuing into the senior year. Our curriculum includes Engineering Design in the Community, where students design assistive devices for community partners in Virginia and Brazil.

A question came up recently about the "smell of chlorine' in the hallway entering the pool of the facility where I teach. So, I put together some information to share with my class and now many recognize the benefit of following the posted pool rules!
That smell is actually a chemical reaction that takes place when chlorine (chemical used to treat the water) combines with ammonia (found in sweat and urine) or with nitrogen-containing contaminants to create chloramines. Both occurrences are common but can be minimized if pool patrons follow these pool rules:
Additionally, there are rules that the pool maintenance staff must follow. It is imperative they monitor and maintain effective levels of disinfecting chemicals, circulation (air and water), and water pH balance at all times. Chloramines are the cause of the "chlorine-like smell" associated with indoor pools. These gasses are volatile and will evaporate and they may dissolve back into the pool water. As a result, it is important to replace pool air with fresh outside air to remove chloramines. The return air vent in the pool is designed to remove air from the surface of the water. Closing the pool doors helps prevent air that is laden with moisture and chloramines from migrating into adjacent areas, such as the locker room and hallway. When air temperatures are maintain 2-5 degrees (1-2.5 C) above water temperature, evaporation of pool water is minimized helping reduce chloramine concentration – plus participants in the water won't feel chilly. Also, adding fresh water to the pool reduces the concentration of chloramines.
As an instructor or personal trainer, you are most likely not responsible for maintaining the pool chemicals. However, when any strong or unusual chemical smell is noticed, you should alert staff who are monitoring the pool. It may be a simple fix of opening an outside door, turning on the fan, adding water, or calling pool maintenance. And, by following simple pool rules, our class participants can take an active role in minimizing the "smell of chlorine"…which we now know is actually chloramines!

You Want To Create Jobs Clowngress? We Must Become Unproductive
Posted by Ags Nightmare, 17 July 2011 · 2,988 views
Yep. You heard it hear first! Encourage already brain dead Americans to become mouth breathing chili eating with their fingers apes. If you have to be at work at 8, show up at 11 AM! If you have a deadline,miss it and take a piss on your bosses desk before you leave the office marking out your initials in pee with a Chinese symbol next to it for symbolism. If "all" Americans commit to having intimate relationships with their smart phones, our corporate plutocracy will be forced to re consider their Chinese sweat shop stance of manufacturing their products that we consume like vultures offshore. If we do not take a stand here and act like per historic apes we suck. That said, what is left of our dwindling lazy work force will make the plutocrats think twice hiring Wang Chung because Crapple can't assemble their gadgets fast enough due to their Americans who are at home trimming their toe nails. The plus side of it all is we can have Americans jumping out of 10 story buildings being overworked and bug eyed, rather than China, and reduce unemployment since we have nets here because we have a fire department [...]

Never let a bad experience go to waste!
Use it don't lose it. There are far too many "bad" past experiences that can help us when times get tough. This is not some self-help bullshit but "facts" as Rafa once said, but we won't go into that right now!
Well I can safely guarantee that we all have past life experiences that we can recall and put to use when we need them.
If you haven't had any negatives in your life, I don't believe you! I was going to say you'd be a lucky person to have had a life with no downside. Tough times help you grow as a person, tough times help your character.
They even give you a funny story to tell, well sometimes it's funny.
Don't change the memory, change how you see it
We've all been there – being broke, a break up, fired from a job or not getting the job you set your heart on. It doesn't even have to be emotional it can be physical too. The ankle injury you had when the doctor said you'll have to give up running. Or the neck injury you had and were told you definitely couldn't practice ju-jitsu.
I'm still running, the lesson is don't always trust doctors!
Think about your own bad times. The times you can recall without much emotional reaction. This is not meant to belittle anything that is raw and you are going through now. You have to work that out in your own time and way. The majority of people will have a list of things that happened in their past that that do not harm us now.
Think about this for a moment…
At the time we thought it would last forever. I thought this is it. This is how it's going to be. The anxiety builds and builds. The mind plays tricks on us and looks at the worst case scenario. It's what we are programmed to do. A survival instinct. Left unchecked negative habits can form and we don't even see the patterns. The questions arise – why me, is it a jinx when will my luck change?
We got through it though, we healed and we came back.
See the bigger picture and learn from it
It's not you, you're not that important scheme of things. It's just life throwing body and head shots at you. If a boxer gets in the ring for the first time and takes a few hits that's understandable. That's normal. What's not normal or plain stupid is not learning form the experience.
Einstein said the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result
So you've took a few hits what next?
You decide to not step back in the ring. This is not acceptable. I'll leave that with you.
You're brave so you step up again and the same thing happens. Whack, whack, whack! Hate to say it but tactically you're a dope, whether in life or in a boxing ring. I've been guilty of this too.
Remember absorb adapt learn
Take what you have experienced and learn from it. Think win or learn. Develop habits that will serve you through life. You'll never eliminate all anxiety but you can defend against it, avoid the worst of it by seeing it coming, counter and attack it when the time is right.
A boxer who is never tested will never improve
Take the lessons from life and use them to you advantage. If you find the pressure building in work and it leads to an anxiety attack, use this information for your future benefit. Ask yourself how can you defend against this? Did you eat well at the time? Were you sleeping well? Did you neglect the gym that week? Drink too much alcohol?
Next time you could remove yourself from the situation for a brief period of time to calm yourself. Or endeavour to train harder, eat healthy and drink less beer!
If you didn't get the job you wanted, analyse the reasons to see how you can perform better next time. It could be a small thing like starting your preparation a week earlier.
Or a big change like going to college or university to become more qualified. This is hard but it can be done as I did it.
Take ownership of you present and future
We can't control fate but we can control our response to adversity. This is not about dwelling on the past but using it to our advantage. It can take a while to change our way of thinking, but I can genuinely say it has helped me when things go wrong in life. I'm far from perfect but seeing the bigger picture is a habit worth cultivating. It even helps take the bitterness and anger away which only drains me anyway.
I would like to add that certain things in life will knock us for six and this tactic may not help for everything. However even extreme circumstances can bring the best out of people. Check out Victor Frankl, Mans Search for Meaning.
Start with the small things
If you struggle with this concept start small. The person you dislike in work, just say hello, ask them if they want a drink. It does work. Then build up to bigger more serious issues. In the end you start to think everything happens for a reason.
All the s**ts from your past are just people not s**ts. They taught you to bob, weave, defend and attack! Haha.
That feels much better.

Higher education minister David Lammy MP spoke about black fatherhoodÂto a packed Committee Room in the House of Commons as part of the Runnymede Platform series.
The event, held on the Monday after Mothers' Day, also served as the launch for a 5-minute video (below) about fatherhood made by Lammy and Femi Oyeniran, star of the films Kidulthood and Adulthood.
Chaired by journalist Lawrence Lartey, the discussion panel included actor Femi Oyeniran, rapper Tinie Tempah, actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah and Dr Tracey Reynolds of London South Bank University.
In his speech, Lammy called for a more active form of fatherhood in the black community, and argued that a renewed focus on fathers would help tackle some of the challenges facing young black people such as educational under-achievement, disproportionate exclusion levels and high crime rates.
He also called for fathers from all backgrounds to remain in touch with their children whatever the relationship with their mothers. He said: Between a quarter and a third of children with separated parents have little to no contact with their fathers. It is not just the structure of families that matters. It is whether fathers continue to contribute to their children's lives.

When you're running a business, you have to keep in mind that all bookkeepers aren't created equal. As stated in this FoxBusiness article, "Experience comes in many different shapes and sizes." Someone who has worked mostly with small businesses won't be the best bookkeeper for a large business. Someone who has worked mostly within one industry may not be able to give you the same results within a different industry. Plus, there are bookkeepers who might just be plain bad! How do you wade through this sea of bookkeeper services and find the right one for you?
Things You Look for When Hiring an Employee
Hiring bookkeeper services is a little like hiring an employee. When you go to interview a potential employee, you're looking for the following things:
- Professionalism. The person should present themselves professionally. They should be well-groomed and well-dressed.
- Resume. It's important that the person should be well-prepared and have a copy of their resume at hand.
- Communication Skills. When you interview someone, you're looking for someone who has good communication skills and can fluently answer all the questions you put to them.
- Education. They should be educated to the extent required by the position.
- Work Experience. The more work experience a potential employee has in your industry, the greater the chances of their succeeding in the position you want to hire them for.
When you go to interview someone, you may not find all the above qualities but you want to find as many of them as possible.
Things You Look for When Hiring a Bookkeeper Firm
When you are looking to hire a bookkeeper firm, you're looking for many of the same things as you are in a potential employee.
- Professionalism. You want to work with a presentable professional. When someone is well-dressed and well-groomed, that shows that they take themselves seriously.
- Written Matter. When you go to meet someone from a bookkeeping firm, they're not going to be carrying a resume but they should carry some written matter describing their firm and its past projects. It's also impressive when they show up with a proposal specifically tailored to your firm or if they pitch their proposal with the help of a Powerpoint presentation. Try to take note of how much effort they're putting into getting your business because this indicates how much effort they'll put into maintaining it as well.
- Communication Skills. You may not think it but communication skills are also important for bookkeepers. They should be able to answer all your questions about their firm. If someone is constantly shuffling through papers and unable to find the ones they need, or if they don't know that much about what projects the firm has worked on in the past, these are red flags that you need to look out for. They might indicate that that person is going to be lax about answering your questions later as well. This is what happened to this Forbes writer who had to suffer through "a year of heartache, thousands of dollars, and a pending litigation."
- Education and Experience. How qualified are the bookkeepers working with that firm? And how experienced is that particular firm when it comes to providing bookkeeping services in general? Do they have any experience working with people in your industry? These are the most important questions you need to ask yourself when you're considering hiring a bookkeeping firm. The more educated they are and the more experience they have, especially within your field, the more likely they are to fulfill your bookkeeping needs now and later.

A gigantic cat fish is swirling about angrily deep beneath Kathmandu, and every time the leviathan flicks his long whiskers, we get these tremors… or so I heard Kanchi didi, our part-time household help, saying one afternoon a few days after the May 12 aftershock. She was animatedly repeating a story doing the rounds in the open area where she had been camping; she was trying to explain to my mom the reasons for the endless succession of jolts and tremors we were experiencing.

VIEW from the BRIDGE
By Muncie
The day of the year I always feel sad is Wednesday the 21st when the days start getting shorter. It will be an hour approximately each month to lose light. I do not have to remind you but just thought I would share my thoughts about it. I love these long evenings watching the birds visiting the "Red Dot Dinner bird feeder" hanging in front of the living room window. I'll enjoy the next couple of months when the days remain longer and then adjust for fall and winter. Hang in there with me.
Folks, I know that I have been nagging about hanging an American Flag on your front porch. I am going to tell you a story that I saw on the world news a week ago Friday. It was the Steve Hartman show "On the Road" what plays every Friday at the end of the program.
Two years ago 11 year old Preston Sharp who lives in Redding, CA visited his grandfather's grave. He came home to tell his mother that there was not an American Flag on grandfather's grave.
His mother was of the mind "Well, do something about it." Preston went to work doing odd jobs to raise money to buy a flag. As the story went on, he bought flags for all the Veterans graves in that cemetery. He then did another cemetery, another cemetery and then another. As of today, Preston has put 23,000 flags on Veterans graves.)
So here I am in Fort Benton, MT asking that every home fly an American Flag. That is one flag for you to honor our United States of America and those who have died for our freedom. Is that too much to ask? Please do it because you love your country and want to show respect for the flag. Flags are reasonably priced at Lehman's True Value and if you are not able to put it up I can arrange that for you. No excuses, no "I don't have time, or "I'm just too busy," or "I do not want to hear that." There is too much at stake especially at this stage of our lives. I'll ride around town again on the 4th of July and I am hopeful to see at least 300 homes with Flags flying. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making an effort.
Another reason I am high and mighty about the American Flag is because last Friday my grandson, Joshua who is 19 years old, became a Marine at Parris Island, South Carolina. I was not able to attend but that did not make me less proud. (I have been to a ceremony like this before and every American should witness one.) Joshua and 499 other young men volunteered to join the service of our country. They are putting up their lives for our freedom. They are our protectors and loved ones. Think of them when you put your flag out every day.
My dear husband, Wally gone over 3 years now, has 4 grandsons, my step grandsons, still in the Army. I am so proud of them and all the Servicemen and women. For those of you in Chouteau County who have your husbands, sons, or grandsons, in the service, I thank you and them every day. I tried to find their addresses at one time but they are not given out any longer. (Years ago I used to write to them.) I can understand why and want them to know that they are remembered every day.
It is here at last so enjoy every minute of it. Pick up a schedule and keep busy all three days going from one place to another. The weather looks fine without rain but perhaps high temperatures. Remember your sun screen and drink lots of water.
Fort Benton has been fortunate that enterprising persons have purchased old buildings and homes to restore them. The Grand Union, the State Bank Building, the Culberson House, the McGraw Building, the Tire Store remodeled into the Ambulance Barn, and the Old Fire House to mention a few. Businesses being purchased are the River Market, the Lumber Yard, the L & R Meats building, and the Bowling Alley.
There are old homes for sale and some being remodeled like one of the T.C. Power houses on 17th St. (open house this weekend,) Jim Cummings house, and the Muesel home. These are great improvements for our city and it is so interesting to watch the progress. I am so grateful that some persons want to invest in Fort Benton.
I have lost a great many friends who had to move for one reason or another but have found new friends who have such great stories to share. It opens up a whole new world that I no longer can explore.
One of my favorite events of Summer Celebration is the Book Sale at the Chouteau County Free Library starting at 9:00 a.m. on Friday. What a bargain! A bog of books for $1.00 is awesome and is a fund raiser for Friends of the Library. (They meet once a month during the season and I have been fortunate to get the chosen book of the month from the Talking Books Library in Helena.)
A few years ago I met a couple from Canada and enjoyed their story. About 7 years ago they happened to come to Fort Benton during Summer Celebration. They found the Library and the Book Sale and said it was the best sale they had ever found. They travel over 500 miles each year just to enjoy the book sale. They are the first in line waiting for the library to open its doors. I have spoken with them the last couple of years and look forward to seeing them again. See all of you there.
On July 4th there will be a dedication of the old WWI Memorial at the Veterans Park at 10:00 a.m. The Memorial has been repaired and I am hopeful that there are more attendees then there were on Memorial Day.
I am sure the low attendance was because of the repair of the Old Bridge. Next year we will be on track. However, the WWI Memorial will only be this year so mark your calendars. The ceremony will only last a short time and it will be a good way to start the 4th of July holiday.
On the evening of July 3rd there is a program on PBS TV from Washington, D.C. It features the United States Army Band, popular entertainers singing patriotic songs and stories about Veterans. It is 1 ½ hrs. Long and is repeating immediately after the 1st program. Don't miss it. It is inspiring. (It will make you so happy to have your flag hanging.)
There are some rules and regulations about your hanging of the flag. The directions will be inside the package if you purchase a new one. If it is an older flag some of the rules are to take the flag down in inclement weather and if strong winds are blowing. I'll be reading my instructions over again because I learn something new every day.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, OUR TROOPS, THOSE WHO PROTECT US, and WEAR RED ON FRIDAYS.
(Especially today our citizens need all the support we can get and give. ("Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.")

Brussels Sprouts and Russian Fingerlings with Vegan Cheese Sauce, Jerk Seitan marinated with Pixie Tangerine Juice, Cubed Salad (Almost No Added Fat)
We had a friend in town from California on business, and had the good fortune to have him as our dinner guest tonight. Though he is vegetarian (but not vegan), he probably hasn't been exposed to a lot of no-added-fat cooking, so I wanted to make a meal where he wouldn't notice that there was not much fat.
I thought that the vegan "cheese" sauce that is from the PCRM FFL diabetes curriculum and that I made on March 31st for our dinner would be good, especially since my daughter loves this and will eat it plain. It's a fun and easy sauce to make and does not contain much fat.
I rarely use oil in sautéing anymore, but occasionally use a bit to get browned tempeh or browned seitan. I decided to make seitan not with oil but also not in stainless steel, but rather in one of my well-seasoned cast iron pans (without adding any oil). I also thought it would be fun to get to know my Instant Pot programmable pressure cooker / steamer / slow cooker / sauté pan / yogurt maker better. This is what I did.
- About a dozen or fifteen Brussels sprouts; remove end and outer leaves and, for medium or large sprouts, cut in half
- About a pound of fingerling potatoes; stab a cut into each small potato and half each medium or large potato
- A vegan bouillon cube (I use a no-added-salt one that I quite like by Rapunzel)
- Three carrots cut into 1/2" slices
- Two garlic cloves, diced finely
- I put about a cup of water in the Instant Pot as well as the included steamer basket. The water was below the bottom of the basket. Inspired by a pressure cooker recipe for Brussels sprouts with pomegranate and pine nuts, I put the Brussels sprouts into the basket (it's really not a basket but a mesh) and set the pot to a manual program of 3 minutes of pressure cooking with a setting of high pressure and steam release set to the quick mode (i.e., venting and not sealing). The pan worked like a charm - it takes a while (10m?) to get enough pressure, then counts down from 3 minutes till done.
- I removed the sprouts from the pan (I couldn't resist trying two sprouts, one of which had fallen to the bottom out of the steamer mesh, once they cooled - wow, these were perhaps the most perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts I've had! The one that had fallen had some carmelization from the heat of the bottom but was actually perhaps even tastier!) and kept them in a large bowl.
- The stainless steel bowl of the Instant Pot was a little brown, but I swished a little water in and it cleared up easily. I then added the bouillon cube, a cup and a half of water (more than in a recipe I found about pressure cooking fingerling potatoes), the potato, carrot, and garlic.
- I closed the lid and again used a manual program of 6 minutes - again with venting (quick mode) and high pressure.
- Once the vegetables were done, I opened the Instant Pot, tossed back in the Brussels sprouts, stirred, and served, topping with the cheese sauce described next.
- 1/8 cup raw cashews
- 1/8 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/2 t onion powder
- 1/4 t garlic powder
- 1 1/2 T cornstarch
- 1/6 cup roasted red pepper
- (the original recipe also calls for 1t lemon juice, but I omit it)
- I put all of the ingredients into my Vitamix blender (any blender should do) and blended on high till homogeneous, about 30-45 seconds.
- I poured the orange liquid into a stock pan.
- When the other dishes were ready and about to be served, I gently heated over medium heat the liquid, stirring constantly. Within 2-3 minutes, the "cheese" nicely thickened, and I then served atop the vegetables described above.
I think that dinner came out great! I loved how the Instant Pot made the vegetables, and the combination with the sauce was very good. How could seitan with jerk seasoning and a tangerine marinade not be tasty? It was, and was our friend's introduction to seitan. The salad was good; I should make chopped salads more often - and be sure that I have access to fresh basil as much as conveniently possible.
I am impressed with how well vegetables cook under pressure. This may be the best Brussels sprouts I've had, and I liked how the potatoes were uniformly cooked. I guess that the skins need to be pierced so that the pressure won't pop out fragments of the skin.
I call the meal "almost no added fat" because the only significant source of fat is the cashew. That only contributes about 7g of fat for the 1/8 cup of nuts, and that covered four servings (actually more, as my daughter ate some of the sauce plain).
I'd love to make more dishes like this with a "cheese" sauce topping. I'll bet a mixture of some bigger grains (barley?) or pasta with vegetables would go great with the sauce. I look forward to continuing to integrate my new electronic cooker into my kitchen.

The 2013 Iowa legislative session has adjourned and legislative leaders are calling it one of the most successful in recent history.
The House finished up its work at the Statehouse Thursday morning. It passed plans to reduce commercial property taxes, expand health coverage to poorer Iowans, and pay off state debts early.
The Senate wrapped up Wednesday night, agreeing on a compromise for education reform that gave more money for schools and greater freedoms for home schoolers.
Gov. Terry Branstad issued a statement after the House adjourned congratulating lawmakers on their work.
"We have demonstrated today that Des Moines is not Washington, D.C.," said Branstad. "We worked together the Iowa way. Both parties in both chambers came together to pass the most significant legislative achievements we have seen in a generation. This was our opportunity. This was our year. These results will benefit generations to come, ensuring higher student achievement, job creation and healthier Iowans."
