Giving the gift of hope
The homeless shelter bringing Christmas cheer to the elderly folk who find themselves without a roof over their heads.
TRACY BOWDEN, PRESENTER: It's often said Christmas is a time for family, so it can be a lonely time for some, especially those who've been homeless or on the edge of it for years.
They've often lost contact with family and friends and have no-one to share the festive season with.
But one Victorian organisation has become like a loving family for thousands of elderly folk who found themselves without a roof over their heads.
Wintringham gives them a place to call home, where there's always plenty of Christmas cheer.
Lisa Whitehead reports.
PTOLEMY: I felt like I was being a burden to my family and so I started living on street. Most of the places I've slept have been under bridges or, like, in a park or something.
LISA WHITEHEAD, REPORTER: For four years, Ptolemy lived in this tent under a city bridge, a freeway thundering overhead.
So it was hard to find a shower or a toilet?
PTOLEMY: Of a weekend, it is, yes.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Ptolemy, who's 52, suffers from emphysema. He has poor eyesight and vitamin D deficiency caused by years of living in the dark.
And as you were getting older, was it getting tougher to sort of live down here?
PTOLEMY: Yes. It gets - it was getting tougher because health problems started to come into it.
LISA WHITEHEAD: So you started to get sick?
PTOLEMY: Yes.
LISA WHITEHEAD: A few months ago, he ended up in a Melbourne hospital. Through a friend who once shared his underground cave, he was put in touch with an organisation that offered him a place to call home.
PTOLEMY: This is a good room. You walk out there, there's a lovely garden and all of these things. And this is a clean place. And a lot of these boarding houses are dirty, grovely little things with bed bugs and bloody cockroaches and goodness knows what else. ...
... They offer cooking classes and, like, health - like, dietician services and all of these things.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Ptolemy's new home is run by a not-for-profit organisation called Wintringham. It provides care and accommodation in Victoria to more than 1,000 elderly people. But it has a unique place in aged care: all of its residents were teetering on the edge of homelessness or living rough.
Wintringham is Bryan Lipmann's baby. He started his career as a social worker at the often violent homeless night shelters in Melbourne.
BRYAN LIPMANN, CEO, WINTRINGHAM: You could imagine living there, but you sure as hell couldn't imagine your parents or your grandparents living there. So there was acts of horrific brutality and murders and bashings and rapes, but there was acts of wanton kindness too.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Back then he says wasn't able to place one elderly person from the night shelters in an aged care nursing home or hostel, so in 1990, he decided to build his own.
BRYAN LIPMANN: I spent a long time in the bush, so I wanted to build houses that looked like bush, with verandas, with soft building materials, with gardens. A lot of fresh air so people could be outside, smoke and drink. I wanted to give them some happiness and some dignity, some peace in the last few years of their life. So we gave ourselves an unofficial nickname: "A home until stumps".
LISA WHITEHEAD: The outstanding design of the homes was recognised by the United Nations with a Habitat Award two years ago.
Alex Lawrence has lived at Port Melbourne hostel for six years.
You weren't able to live in a boarding house or rent a place anywhere?
ALEX LAWRENCE: I did, but they were druggos and alcoholics. I lasted about three days, I think. The police were there. (Laughs)
LISA WHITEHEAD: Did you figure it was safer to be on the streets?
ALEX LAWRENCE: Bloody oath it was. Never had any trouble. (Laughs)
LISA WHITEHEAD: Then Alex Lawrence got sick and became an easy target on the street.
BRYAN LIPMANN: We found him lying on the ground outside the supermarket, all bloody and beaten, and some kids from the pub had taken some sport with him.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Do you think it saved your life, this place?
ALEX LAWRENCE: Probably, yeah.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Alex Lawrence features in a new book on Wintringham by freelance writer Elaine Farrelly.
ELAINE FARRELLY, WRITER: I was intrigued to know why Bryan had taken on the cause of this group of people who were really invisible and powerless in society. And the thing that really inspired me about Bryan was the level of passion that he has even now, 20-plus years later, for the cause.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Bryan Lipmann fought to change attitudes to the homeless who were frail and elderly, arguing they should have the same rights to decent aged care as everyone else and they should be funded accordingly.
BRYAN LIPMANN: If we can get people early enough and stabilise them, get some decent tucker into them, let them realise that they're not going to be bashed or raped or robbed, let them start to assert themselves, get them to doctors, people start to live longer. We've had some people who've lived with us since the day we opened.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Bryan Lipmann was inspired by the late Tiny Wintringham, a homeless man in Melbourne in the 1970s who fought to stop a homeless shelter being shut down.
BRYAN LIPMANN: In those early days I had to have something to inspire me, I suppose. I had his photo up on my wall and I used to say to Tiny, "So what do I do now, mate?" And I can't say he ever answered.
LISA WHITEHEAD: After two decades in aged care, Wintringham has broken more new ground, taking on a partnership with Woollahra, an agency that looks after disabled adults. Wintringham cares for elderly parents like Sonia, and next door, Woollahra cares for her daughter, Anna-Maria.
BRYAN LIPMANN: So Wintringham would look after the financially impoverished elderly parent and Woollahra would look after the child, but we'd be able to them as two organisations who trusted each other and the mother and daughter or whatever would be able to live almost next door to each other.
LISA WHITEHEAD: Many homeless people grow old before their time, so Wintringham offers people as young as 50 a home and a surrogate family.
BRYAN LIPMANN: We had no families. You could come here on Christmas Day and you would hardly see anyone other than staff. So we actually encourage our staff to take that role on of family. And that becomes a fundamental difference. So when staff actually become involved in the lives of these old guys, hold their hands when they're dying. We try to be with people, give them some dignity, some laughter - there's a lot of laughter at Wintringham, at lot of joking going on. Staff feel that they've made a real difference in people's lives.
TRACY BOWDEN: Lisa Whitehead reporting.

My Mom gave me her pearls and I am having them restrung as a choker to wear with it. The jewelery shop is also going to match the pearls from the necklace for earrings and a bracelet. Mom's pearls are a dark ivory, almost the color of the champagne detailing on my dress, so matching it is a little tough.

I heard the disappointed reviews and bought it anyway.... and I read it cover to cover and it's a beautiful genius of inspiration! If you scan the pictures, you may think you've seen it all before, and probably have.. but did you TRY IT?? Probably not. I intent=d to soak up every technique this book has to offer and am grateful for being introduced to all the cool bits and pieces of "product" that is not only advertised but shown in action with tips and techniques on how to get the most of it.
I waited a few years before buying "A Compendium of Curiosities" because I had read reviews saying this book was 1/2 advertising. My local J's has finally started selling Tim Holtz stuff including this book. And so I was finally, (3 years after the book was released), able to see the book in person and look through it before buying it. I bought it yesterday, with a coupon, so I got it for about $15. Not bad. The first 30 pages are more of an overview of the products and tools used. I don't mind this because I think the photos are inspiring and I love looking at them and seeing the different ways his little doo dads can be used. Then there are tutorials for 35 different techniques! I think that makes this book worth the money right there. Well not full price (get it on sale if you can). Thirty-five techniques, each on one page, described in six clear, concise, easy-to-understand steps. With pictures of each step. Once I sat down yesterday afternoon to immediately start reading the book after buying it, I couldn't put the book down! I LOVE this book! It is so inspiring! I will get much more use from my stash of Tim Holtz goodies now that this book has shown me all the cool things that I can do with them. Yes, I read Tim's blog and watch the videos that probably have shown these techniques somewhere along the way before, but it's so nice to have these instructions right at my fingertips in my scrap room without having to do a search on the internet. That way I can start or continue my crafting without being distracted or wasting time on the computer. The book is nicely made with a hard cover and spiral binding inside so it lays nice and flat. It's a nice size too, so it doesn't take up much room on your crafting table.
I'm definitely getting book 2 now. Can't wait....
Tim Holtz covers everything he's famous for in this one-of-a-kind idea book. The first 30 pages include detailed information about each of Tim's products from Ornate Plates and Metal Embellishments to Gears and Spinners to Ball Chain and Fragments. The last 40 pages are step-by-step tutorials showcasing many of the techniques that you've grown to love from Tim, but might to too afraid to try. Not anymore! With is guidance, the amazing techniques in this book come to life instantly and you'll want to spend an entire weekend testing them out on your tags and pages.
Distress Stickles, Alcohol Inks, and Distress Powders are no longer imtimidating after this read-through, but rather intriguing. Warning: People may mistake you for Tim himself... so beware the papparazzi!
At first I thought I'd paid 25 bucks for an ad for Tim's products but then when I got to the tutorials I was thrilled. The instructions are simple and well illustrated. Love the distressed grungy feel of the book and can't wait to try some of the techniques. I've already bought some of his products.
Very cool compendium. When I first held it, I thought it was pricey at first for the size of it but I think it may well be worth it for all the wonderful curiosities therein.
I LOVE this book!! I ordered it and it just arrived today and I immediately ripped the envelope open and started looking through it. I haven't really done an in-depth reading of it yet, but from what I have seen, it's definitely going to be a huge help for me. I love that the book is bound in a way to lay flat. I also love that it has a lined, blank page at the end of the book to write your own notes as well. I really love this book and highly recommend it!

Logistics business news: Latest Commerce report reflects uncertainty in U.S. manufacturing sector
After growing faster than the overall economy during the first year of the recovery, manufacturing has clearly downshifted into low gear, noted spokesmen for the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
in the NewsConvey and CommerceHub tout new strategic relationship Most recent Freight TSI is strong, says BTS AAR reports strong U.S. carload and intermodal gains for week ending March 17 Gartner's 2018 Magic Quadrant Names Kuebix as Prominent TMS Player Meet the 2018 Modern Show Daily team More News
After growing faster than the overall economy during the first year of the recovery, manufacturing has clearly downshifted into low gear, noted spokesmen for the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
According to the latest U.S. Department of Commerce report, new orders for manufactured goods edged down 0.5 percent in August.
"Today's report marks the second decline in factory orders in the past three months," said NAM. "Much of the overall August decline was due to a 40.2 percent plunge in volatile non-defense aircraft orders, which tend to fluctuate from month-to-month."
Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva, an online search engine with detailed information on global suppliers and manufacturers, told LM that "the jobless recovery" is partly to blame.
"While we feel that the manufacturing sector is on a positive trajectory, it's hard to explain that to people out of work," he said.
Orders in the rest of manufacturing actually rose 0.4 percent in August, due chiefly to rebounds in machinery, computers and electronic products. But even with these increases, orders in these areas have slowed considerably from earlier in 2010, signaling that business investment will not likely continue to be the catalyst for economic growth as it was in the second quarter of the year.
Continued declines in new orders for construction materials and supplies and consumer goods show that housing and consumer spending have similarly weakened now that much of the temporary boost from several fiscal stimulus measures has ended.
According to NAM, the weak status of the labor market and increased uncertainty – stemming from possible federal tax and regulatory changes that are looming – will likely weigh down the recovery.

Martin O'Neill hoped his side would get credit today for their disciplined and determined performance against Champions League opposition, writes Graeme Anderson.
The match against Spurs ended goal-less with the Londoners creating comfortably the better chances.
But the Sunderland manager was at pains to point out that his own side had also done well.
"We may not have had much in the way of chances on goal but I always thought we looked dangerous," he said.
"Considering the last two games we've played have been against a side vying for the title and one looking favourites for the Champions League, we haven't done too bad..
"We didn't reach the heights against Spurs that we did against Manchester City but we did give them a tough afternoon.
"We had to play strongly because we didn't have their resources.
"It meant that it was a tough afternoon for us, but it was a tough afternoon for them, too.
"And Harry Redknapp would have known when he came up here that he was in for a tough game.
"We are strong at home and we have good players.
"James McClean was up against one of the best full-backs in the league at the moment, Kyle Walker, but Spurs still doubled up on him and that tells you about the danger he represents.
"It was a shame that it wasn't a straight contest because McClean has had the beating of most full-backs right now."

Darcy Jacobs for Family Circle
Purchase The Marriage Pact
About the Book
Newlyweds Alice and Jake are a picture-perfect couple. Alice, once a singer in a well-known rock band, is now a successful lawyer. Jake is a partner in an up-and-coming psychology practice. Their life together holds endless possibilities. After receiving an enticing wedding gift from one of Alice's prominent clients, they decide to join an exclusive and mysterious group known only as The Pact.
The goal of The Pact seems simple: to keep marriages happy and intact. And most of its rules make sense. Always answer the phone when your spouse calls. Exchange thoughtful gifts monthly. Plan a trip together once per quarter. . . .
Never mention The Pact to anyone.
Alice and Jake are initially seduced by the glamorous parties, the sense of community, their widening social circle of like-minded couples. And then one of them breaks the rules.
The young lovers are about to discover that for adherents to The Pact, membership, like marriage, is for life. And The Pact will go to any lengths to enforce that rule. For Jake and Alice, the marriage of their dreams is about to become their worst nightmare.
Advance Praise and Review of The Marriage Pact
"Richmond quickly moves beyond the expected with this imaginative tale of a worldwide, cultish movement called The Pact, focused entirely on keeping marriages intact…The by-now familiar domestic suspense setup of a troubled wife leaving a marriage is turned upside down, as the couple faces an outside threat together. Questioning a secretive group's arbitrary "marriage rules," this fast-paced nail-biter goes in unpredictable directions…It also raises thoughtful questions about individual agency and marital commitment." ~Melanie Kindrachuk, Library Journal, starred review
"Michelle Richmond's previous novels slip and slide across genre lines while providing a feast for those who are looking for something engrossing, challenging and thought-provoking in their reading material. THE MARRIAGE PACT doubles down on the promise of Richmond's previous works in a tale that is by turns cautionary, parabolic and metaphoric." Joe Hartlaub for Bookreporter
"A fast-paced, intelligent book…a genuine thriller." Don Noble for Alabama Public Radio
"This summer, The Marriage Pact is set to become the book you won't be able to put down…Set in Silicon Valley, in a world of privilege driven by exclusivity, The Marriage Pact is a break-neck thriller to match Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train. In this insulated and therapy-obsessed community, Richmond pushes her characters, newlyweds at the peak of their careers, to the absolute extreme. You won't believe the jaw-dropping conclusion." Kepler's, Menlo Park
"The world has gone wacko lately, and in the fictional world of The Marriage Pact a secret group forms that ostensibly seeks to protect the integrity of marriage. With guidelines to follow to keep the worst from happening, it isn't long before newlyweds Alice and Jake find themselves in trouble. One of them breaks a rule and the consequences are, well, scary. A thriller like no other, this book may make you take a second look at your neighbors and ask yourself: how far you would go to keep your marriage intact?" —Linda Bond, Auntie's Bookstore, Spokane, WA
"The Marriage Pact is a tense, twisting, quirky novel of growing dread—and a love story with a richly imagined relationship between a wife and husband. Michelle Richmond looks with a gimlet eye at our therapy-obsessed culture and wonders if the experts who claim to have all the cures might themselves need therapy. Gripping, thought-provoking, and irresistible."
–Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Corner
"Michelle Richmond is, simply put, a great storyteller. And The Marriage Pact, without gimmick or tricks, is a twisting, suspenseful, keep-you-up-all-night thriller. But it's more than, too. It's a deep, insightful, nearly voyeuristic view into the modern marriage—what brings us together, what keeps us together, what tears us apart. A smart, engrossing, scary read!"
—Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The Red Hunter
"A brilliant premise for a novel of psychological suspense, tautly plotted and deftly written. The Marriage Pact shows in gripping detail just what could go wrong when we try too hard to protect the love we cherish most."
–JP Delaney, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before
"Riveting psychological suspense! First you meet the lovely couple, then you agree a little marital support couldn't hurt and then… Beware. This book will keep you all night, while making you second guess everything you know, and everyone you've ever loved."
–Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Find Her
"Creepy and engrossing…takes readers deep into the heart of a marriage and exposes some of the darker drives, such as possession and control, that can lurk within even the most harmonious of unions." Booklist

Yes, at this point I think msleep() should become ssleep() so msleep() can be used with mutex locks (mtx_t).

I always have to laugh when someone asks how many children we have....I always laugh right before I reply. It is funny to see the responses we get...anywhere from "You are a saint" (so NOT the case), to "Better you than me...", to "I am crazy with just two kids!", to "How do you do it?"
The kids were laughing in the car yesterday that when we arrive somewhere, like the campgrounds in the summer, the looks from the older people around us are immediate horror - not due to what we look like, just how many of us there are. But within a day, we are suddenly the "most amazing family" they have ever seen. (I always wonder what other families they have seen that would prompt that response within hours!??! Yikes!) It almost always starts a spontaneous giving of treats - cinnamon bread, gum, chips - all very funny, but so appreciated.
I remember two trips to Sam's Club in particular. During one, there was a woman that saw us and began asking very abrupt questions - not mean, just abrupt. If I cannot gauge where an interaction is going, I try to politely end it before something weird or that may hurt my kids feelings is said. This was a situation that I wasn't sure of, so I kept the family moving. We saw her on a few more aisles, but then she was gone. I quickly forgot about it as it was time to finish up for the youngest kids' sake. As we were leaving, she marched up again and I thought, "Uh, oh!" She pushed something into my hand and gruffly said, "Good job! You are amazing. I have done foster care for years." I didn't even have time to respond and she was gone again. In my hand was a $100 gift certificate! What? Such a huge gift from a stranger!
Another time, we decided to get pizza at the deli because we had taken too long and kids were just not going to make it home. Two of the boys needed constant reminders to behave. One because he was cranky, one because he was squirrely. I noticed that a woman was watching us intently. It is easy to assume the worst, but I try to give the benefit of the doubt. We are a "novelty", especially in the area of the country we live. But at the same time, I am silently praying the kids don't have a full meltdown under such scrutiny. As she was leaving, she walked up to the table and handed me $20 and said she wanted to pay for our lunch because we were "Amazing." Wow. Again, I always think that we are not amazing - we have bad days - and this was not one of our best - so what prompts this response? What are people seeing elsewhere? Good grief! At the same time, each time someone complements what we are doing and my kids in particular, it is a much needed burst of sunshine to our days. Now as we go into a public setting, we remind the kids that we want to turn the looks of horror to smiles of delight - the kids get it and love seeing how long it will take. Please note, I have enough strong willed, independent kiddos that I know their first reaction is, "I don't want to!"....but it is so much fun to see that they all end up agreeing anyway.
When people ask, "How do you do it?" There is not a simple answer. I have started telling people that they can't take what life looks like with 2 or 3 or even 4 kids and try to picture doing that with 13 kids - no wonder they look so stressed out trying to picture it! Our life does not look the same as it did with 4 kids. I cannot tell you how thankful I am for that. In so many ways, we wasted time on the "not so important." I would have been VERY angry as a mom of 4 if someone had told me that - everything seemed extremely important - critical! - at the time. I felt very busy and tired - but I still loved being a mom. But I was also very busy tiring to squeeze in so many things - to our schedule, our budget, our daily life - that just really didn't need to be there. I was still trying to squeeze so many things in for me that just didn't need to be there. And I was never content with what I did squeeze in! I always hoped to find more "me" time....I had so much at the time, but just couldn't begin to recognize it.
Our days now are just full of "daily living". Meals, laundry, school, diaper changes, baths, clean up, wiping up tears and kissing "owies", bills, snuggle times, home therapies for the girls, g-tube feedings, etc. Just what we need to do daily. But in a way, it is so much more fulfilling and less demanding than all the expectations I had with 4. "Me" time is in the early mornings with a cup of coffee and my Bible and prayer journal - even for 10 minutes. I have put away my cross stitch bucket and my books I read for fun. This year, I am not even attempting to sew Christmas or Easter dresses (very hard to let go of for me). I am even having The Testy Chef crochet the new blanket for Little Man's arrival - something she was tickled to do - there are so many fun yarns, colors, and textures out there! I know what my response would have been as a mom of 4, "What? I couldn't do that! I need to take care of my dreams, too!" or on my more self-righteous days, I would think, "Well, I am doing that already." Oh, silly girl!
But please listen to me - I am more content and full of joy than I ever was as a mom of fewer. Not because I have given up "me" time - but because of the work my Savior has done over the years in my heart. He didn't just gently take these things from my hands, He had to wrestle it from me as I kicked and screamed and threw temper tantrums! I just could not see how this could be better. I thought I knew my heart and priorities - what a laugh! Despite my confidence that I was a "good" parent and a "good" Christian - willing to sacrifice myself for others - I came to clearly see (and still do!) how selfish I was and am. I had just been able to paint it nicely - or I had fully believed those that said I must take care of myself first, so that I could properly care for my family. That sounded like good advice!
I always had niggling doubts though - where did I see that in Scripture? Where did Paul do that? Where did any of the heroes of the faith do that - without being shown that it was sin? Most importantly, where did my Savior do that? He who laid down the privileges of heaven to be born in a lowly stable, be raised as the son of a carpenter in a group of people that were looked down upon? Where did He do that as He healed and taught the multitudes...only to quietly move away in order to pray? Even when He did fall into an exhausted sleep on a boat, He was awakened by the disciples who were in terror for their lives. He woke up and silenced the wind and waves for their sake. Scripture doesn't say, but my guess is that He didn't get to go back to sleep after that amazing display of His power and authority.
I sincerely think we need to HONESTLY look at this bit of advice....but as a way of illustration, I would like to share something I heard in a Q & A session online with one of my favorite teachers . He was being asked by a bunch of high school/college age kids a question about obeying their parents. You may remember those questions if you were in youth group at that age. "Do I need to obey my parents even if they are wrong?" The teacher's obviously insightful response was, "Who's definition of wrong? Yours or Scripture's?" Ummm...that wasn't quite what the group expected....they hadn't thought of it from that perspective. But being young, they can always find a (clever but wisdom less) response...so one said, "What if my parents tell me I have to do something against the commands of the Bible? Like lie or kill someone?" I thought, "Ugh, I have been asked that question too many times and in too many ways!" when I was a youth leader. But I had to laugh at the teacher's response! First he laughed - he is a big, black man, so it was quite a belly shaking guffaw when he did laugh - and then said, "Really, son? How many times have your parents asked you to do this? How many of you have ever been asked to do this by your parents?" He paused....as you can guess, a very impressive dead silence. He then went on to say that we spend so much time on the obscure, almost completely unheard of "exception" to the rule as a way to avoid the truth that we are not obeying when we should be! We focus on the exception, rather than on the reality of our daily lives.
So with moms - I have to ask...do you really, personally know a mom that is driving herself into the ground by serving others? Are you yourself doing this? Really? I know moms that are driving themselves into the ground because of their own desires/expectations! Desires and expectations that are not laid our in His Word. I know of moms that are driving themselves into the ground over fighting against what Scripture asks them to do - to lay down their lives for those God has given into their care. The very rare moms I know that are giving their all to what Christ has asked them to do can get very weary...but they always have their eyes focused in trust on Christ - believing when He says that He will give them rest in due time and the strength to continue. They rejoice in the few extra hours (or minutes) of sleep that they do get in due time and the 5 minutes to read His Word for encouragement without having to referee a fight. They rejoice in the hope of a beautiful sunrise and a day in which they must work hard, but sense His presence in each detail - even the hard ones. These few moms are tired, but full of joy - true joy.
The other moms are being driven into the ground by trying to take care of their needs first and the needs of others - in my experience, there is no way to do both if we are the ones working to supply our wants/needs - not trusting Christ to do so. Pick up your Bibles - start finding all of the verses that God promises to meet our needs - and then find all the verses that instruct us to seek Him first, to serve to bring Him glory, to put others above ourselves. We cannot let human "wisdom" become more important or true that God's wisdom. Do you want to lose your life? Then cling to it. Do you want to save your life? Then let it all go. This is a paradox that can only be truly understood through living it.
Please know this does not mean your life will be rosy and easy. NOWHERE is that promised in Scripture. But it means there will be joy and blessing in the journey - what your heart is truly longing for. Please also know that this is not an area I have even begun to master. I look outside and long to be gardening. I look at my yucky gray walls and long to paint color on them. I eye my cross stitch bucket and just want to pick up a project. I wish some days for just an hour of quiet. But I have learned that these things do not bring the joy I am longing for. Don't get me wrong, if my Savior provides time for it, I will rejoice and jump in with a thankful heart. But I know now, through experience, that my life is not my own, it was redeemed at unspeakable cost...it is not my life to live anymore. It is His. What freedom there is in that...
To Him be all honor, glory, and praise forever....

Christian Rehab
If you or a loved one is seeking freedom from addiction we can help. There are various Christian rehabs offering different programs.
Contact us and we can help you find the ideal program to fit your needs.
The Christian rehab offers a more successful approach at healing people who suffer from all types of addictions, ranging from drugs and alcohol to pornography, gambling and most other sins and afflictions, because only Jesus Christ has the power to forgive sins. Through faith in the transforming power of Jesus Christ, Son of the Most High God, the Holy Spirit can transform you into a new person free from addictions without any desire to do drugs or alcohol. (Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.)
Christian rehabs are a Christ centered treatment program set up to transform lives from the inside-out approach, healing the essential parts of an individual's life in order to bring about freedom from addictions as well as receive wisdom, knowledge, understanding and truth through God's word and bring them into relationship with their Creator Jesus (John 1:3).
We live in a world that promotes alcohol, drugs, lust etc… and many other things that can lead us down a destructive path. The Bible teaches us about these pit-falls and how when applying the Bible, God's word into our lives and believe and call on the Lord we can have fruitful lives free from addictions and many other bondage's which destroy lives. Through prayer and seeking God and Bible study we begin to receive spiritual healing, which brings us healing mentally and physically with a degree of recovery in each area of our lives. Because the enemy of our soul seeks to distract us any way he can to get us off of God's purpose and plan for our lives.
Therefore until we put on the whole of God by putting Him first we leave our minds open for all types of deception that leads to fear, anxiety, depression and drug and alcohol dependency and attacks our faith. The battle starts with our thoughts and our perception of things therefore if we are focusing on the wrong things and not on Christ the truth we invite trouble into our lives. Scripture tells us that we are in a spiritual battle against evil forces that try to destroy us and are more powerful than us without God's help.
Only through Christ Jesus who shed his blood on Calvary for our sin can we be forgiven and receive the true blessing and be delivered from spiritual bondage (Romans 6:23). Although Christ wants you to have His peace and joy and freedom from addictions and idols we are also promised temptations and trials in this life but with His help we can archive victory through them all and they will strengthen us if we don't give up.
There are many different Christian programs out there to choose from. For example; some of the rehab centers offer a long-term Christian discipleship program ranging in length anywhere from six months to a year or longer. Long-term discipleship programs are often highly disciplined and intensive Bible based programs which achieve a very high success rate (proven study) ultimately because of Jesus. Also the longer a person stays in a Christian rehabilitation center the more they should develop and transform, therefore having a stronger chance of better recovery. Also these are held to a higher standard walking out the Bible throughout the entire program. This type of Christian program is generally cheaper in cost, because the rehab center is able to support itself through donations, and many of them have various businesses where the students of the program work to support the center which gives them a good work ethic as well as pays their way through the program; Such as landscaping or car washes etc... Some of these programs are free and others operate on a sliding fee scale depending on the financial ability of the person needing treatment, and friends and family members who are willing to help the individual and the Christian rehab.
Other Christian rehabs offer shorter-term programs ranging anywhere from one month on up to six months. The one-month programs or month by month Christian rehab centers are generally more expensive because they do not have work programs. Yet there are Christian rehab centers that offer low and no cost Christian programs that have two months on up to six month programs. There are Christian drug rehabs and discipleship programs throughout the United States. For your benefit we have provided a list of the low and no cost Christian discipleship programs nation-wide here on this website.
The shorter term rehabs which are 28 days or one-month may offer a Christian rehab track and/or mix a 12 step program also, as well as other types of treatment such as psychology and incorporate other secular techniques along with the 12 steps for those who want that. Some of these may offer detoxification and dual diagnosis where the program has a psychiatrist on staff to prescribe medication for individuals who suffer with mental health issues along with drug and alcohol addiction. However, many people have been healed of psychological disorders through Christ alone, without 12 steps or psychology and psychiatrists, which doesn't heal, but is only a temporary method of treating the problem. It's a matter of what or who you chose to put your your faith in. Not to mention the Lord Jesus has healed countless drug addicts, which goes without saying. Amen!
These types of shorter term Christian rehab programs are often able to take insurance (because they offer the clinical staff) such as Aetna, Cigna, United Health Care, Blue Cross and Blue Shield etc… to handle the cost of this type of program which are generally expensive ranging from $8000 on up to $30,000 per month. Also because many of the long term Christian discipleship programs will not accept students or patients who are on prescribed medications (it depends though, it's a case by case basis) whereas the dual diagnosis Christian track will. Nevertheless TEEN CHALLENGE (EVEN FOR ADULTS) which is proven the most successful Christian long term program, now has some centers that will accept people who are on medications. Also there can be other conditions that may limit an individual for the type of program they can get into, such as a physical condition where they need to receive treatment from a doctor or hospital, because some programs are not equipped to handle these types of cases.
If you need assistance in finding the most appropriate Christian rehab that matches your particular wants and needs you can contact us directly and we can help you with this. Or you can go on our state pages and search through the list of Christian programs listed there.

Burden grills Sanitation over garage tower plan
By Albert Amateau
City Planning Commissioners zeroed-in on a few issues toward the end of an all-day hearing on Wednesday on the Department of Sanitation's proposal for a $429 million garage for three sanitation districts on the UPS lot on Spring St.
The proposed 118 ft. tall garage is intended to accommodate garbage trucks from Districts 1, 2 and 5. The site is in District 2, which covers the Village and Soho and is a block from the border of District 1, which covers most of Lower Manhattan south of Canal St. Downtown opponents have been demanding that an alternate site be found for sanitation vehicles from District 5, which covers Midtown between Eighth and Lexington Aves. from 14th to 59th Sts.
"What is the possibility that District 5 could be eliminated from the project," asked Amanda Burden, C.P.C. chairperson.
Dan Klein, D.S.N.Y. director of real estate, said any alternative would raise costs considerably.
"We took a look at what it would cost to acquire a site for District 5 and build a new facility and we estimate that it would add $40 or $50 million," Klein said.
After opponents expressed outrage about a provision in the project's Draft Environmental Impact Statement that refueling at the site would serve other city vehicles in addition to Sanitation, Burden asked for specifics.
"We refuel city vehicles at all our garages — police, fire, M.T.A.," replied Klein. "On July 21 we found that we refueled 142 other vehicles that week at the Gansevoort garage. It's no more than 150 a week mostly between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.," he said.
Opponents are also anxious about a proposed salt shed to be built as part of the project across Spring St. directly south of the main site. Neighbors fear that road salt in an open-sided shed up to 75 ft. tall would be blown about by the prevailing westerly wind and become an environmental hazard.
Responding to a question from Burden about the salt, Klein said the shed has not been designed yet, but that it would be three-sided and located just east of the Holland Tunnel vent tower, with the open side facing east and protected from the prevailing wind.
Burden also inquired about another issue that has been outraging neighbors — the provision for employee parking for about 74 cars in the proposed garage. Klein reiterated the position that D.S.N.Y. wants employees to be able to drive to work, especially during snow emergencies. He also said that eliminating employee parking would not lower the height of the garage.
In addition to the employee parking, the D.S.N.Y. garage would have 266 parking spaces including space for 95 large garbage trucks, 33 smaller sanitation vehicles. The ground floor would be owned as a condo by UPS, which will use the area, as it does now, for truck parking and staging area its garage complex on Washington St.
Opponents, including Carol DeSaram of Community Board 1, suggested that sanitation employees should use Pier 40 for parking. "This project flies in the face of good planning," DeSaram said. She ridiculed the proposal by the architects to use Con Edison steam to heat the building, saying the steam would have to come from the steam plant on E. 14th St.
Paul Bauer, of Dattner Architects, designers of the project, described the proposal for solar fins that would rotate in response to the sun and the proposed green roof that would recycle rainwater for washing sanitation vehicles.
But Richard Sloan, a resident of 530 Canal St. said that talk of solar panels and a green roof "is like putting lipstick on a pig — trying to make it look pretty, but it's still a pig."
Anthony Borelli, land use director for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, said Stringer recommended disapproval of the garage unless there is more consideration of alternative sites for a District 5 garage.
Stringer's letter to City Planning on Aug. 11 cited the D.S.N.Y. Manhattan Borough Repair Shop, a two-story facility on W. 26th St. between 11th and 12th Aves., that does major repair for all Manhattan garages as a location that should be explored for District 5. Stringer pointed out that the facility also repairs Bronx trucks and that a District 7 repair center in the building is slated to move to W. 57th St., two uses which he said could free up enough space for District 5.
But members of Community Board 4, whose district includes the W. 26th St. shop, that they were opposed to putting the District 5 garage there.
"It was specifically designed for repairing vehicles that district garages couldn't do," said Lee Compton, a C.B. 4 member referring to the 26th St. shop, "things like straightening the frame of a big garbage truck or replacing an engine. Putting a district garage there would be a terrible waste."
Sanitation's Klein also said it would be wasteful to move repair uses out of the building.
The hearing on Wednesday was the midpoint in the city's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. Burden said the commission would vote on the project in three or four weeks and submit it for final approval to the City Council.

Alarm over Cameroon child smokers
Forty-four per cent of pupils in Cameroonian schools have already had their first contact with tobacco and the gory statistic could get worse, an anti-tobacco organisation has warned.
The Cameroon Coalition Against Tobacco further states that 15 per cent of the people below the age of 15 were among 17.5 per cent of the country's smoking population.
The organisation is pushing for anti-tobacco laws to be urgently implemented in the country.
Cameroon became a signatory to the World Health Organisation Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) in May 2006.
Parties to the treaty, which obliges signatories to cut back on tobacco consumption and exposure to secondary smoke, adopted the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products in November last year.
But experts believe Cameroon had remained a key cigarette-smuggling and contraband hub with tobacco companies using illegal channels to keep the business alive.
The situation was further compounded by counterfeiting which was a serious threat to public health, they say.
The main targets
Flore Ndembiyembe, the president of the Cameroon Coalition Against Tobacco, says the world's major tobacco producers, driven by strict laws in the West, were shifting the focus of their commercial strategies to developing countries where anti-tobacco regulations were weak or non-existent.
The organisation says out of 6 million tobacco-related deaths globally every year, 80 per cent occurred in the developing world, mainly in Africa where tobacco consumption swelled by 4.3 per cent annually.
Youths who make up the bulk of Cameroon's over 20 million citizens were the main targets of cigarette producing companies, it claims.
Some 28.8 per cent of Cameroonian men and 8.1 per cent of women smoke, while 37 per cent of the country's population were exposed to tobacco smoke in public and family circles.
"Only simple, clear rigorous laws, which are possible to respect, will guarantee the public's power to benefit from pure air without tobacco smoke," Ndembiyembe says.
In December last year, about 30 parliamentarians assured the Cameroon anti-tobacco lobby that they would convince colleagues to adopt a new anti-tobacco draft law to be tabled before the 180-seat House.
There has been a series of ministerial orders designating non-smoking areas like government buildings and schools, and regulating cigarette advertising, promotion, sale and packaging.
But anti-tobacco campaigners say these measures were not comprehensive and had so far not been effective.

This month's Secret Recipe Club assignment was a little trickier than usual. The More Than Occassional Baker is a blog from the UK, which means I had to do some conversions like Celsius to Fahrenheit, grams and milliliters to ounces, and I used my scale instead of measuring cups. It was kind of a fun little challenge!
I have to admit that I had to search through tons of her recipes to find one that I could make with stuff I had on hand because It's been a crazy week and I didn't get around to it until late last night. Lucky for me I came upon this simple cake recipe that sounded refreshing and light for a mid-morning snack.
Lemon Yogurt Cake
1 C. Self-Rising Flour (find how to make it here)
1/2 C. Honey (she uses sugar)
3/4 C. minus 2 Tbsp. Plain Nonfat Yogurt
1/2 C. Canola Oil
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
Zest of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour into 9" round cake pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes, or until toothpick test comes out clean. Cool in pan and serve as desired.

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | Last updated 6/28/13
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild started a potentially busy weekend by securing some of the organization depth it covets. Minnesota announced Friday it signed defenseman Steven Kampfer to a one-year, two-way contract. The two-way contract allows the Wild to send Kampfer up-and-down from its minor-league team in Iowa next season. Kampfer, 24, spent the 2012-13 season playing for Minnesota's farm team, the Houston Aeros, in the American Hockey league where he had four goals and 17 assists in 55 games for Houston. He led the team's defensemen with 132 shots on goal during the regular season. Kampfer had a goal and an assist in five playoff games for the Aeros. Kampfer, acquired from the Boston Bruins for defenseman Greg Zanon on Feb. 27, 2012, played in 13 games for Minnesota in the 2011-12 season and had two goals and an assist. An original fourth-round draft pick by Anaheim, Kampfer has seven goals and eight assists in 61 career NHL games. Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher has talked about potentially being active on the trade market this weekend with the NHL Draft on Sunday. Follow Brian Hall on Twitter

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
This is the thing, I believe I am still suffering discrimination right now because I am in this situation because I was threatened in my previous post and as a result have had to continue working far from my locality. The threat itself was made in November 2011 and would have led to my constructive dismissal if I had not left to work in a different area in April 2012. This issue has never been resolved and I am still unable to return to work close to my home and family as long as I am with this company because the manager who discriminated against me is still there.
Thank you. I am just traveling at the moment and cannot view your entire response. If you can give me until about mid morning I will be able to concentrate fully. I apologise in advance but there may be a delay in getting back to you and providing my advice. Please be patient and I will respond as soon as I can. You do not have to wait here and you will receive an email when I have responded.
Thanks Ben, no problem at all. Looking forward to your response.
Thanks for your patience. From an employment law perspective, whilst you do have certain rights, you will have to check hat you are still within time to do something about them.
Discrimination on grounds of a protected characteristic are unlawful and if you have been treated detrimentally because of age, gender, race, religion, a disability, sexual orientation or pregnancy then it is something that you would have protection against.
Whilst the first step would be to raise a formal grievance with the employer, if you were seeking to take legal action against the employer, then there are strict time limits that apply. For discrimination claims you are required to submit your claim within 3 months of the discriminatory act being complained of. So if you believe that you are still within time to make this claim you can consider making it and seeking compensation.
Whilst constructive dismissal is also a potential claim, you have to be aware that it needs to be made as soon as possible after the breach that forced you to resign. The longer you leave it the more it would be implied that you had accepted the situation and your claim will likely fail due to that. So do not delay any such action unreasonably because it can affect your rights.
You may wish to find a new solicitor who has no conflict issues with the employer and there are still some solicitors who could consider working on a no win no fee basis but there are not many of these. Whatever you do, as mentioned above, you should not delay taking any action because the longer you leave it the harder it would be to pursue your rights.

Kansas wrapped up a share of its 10th consecutive Big 12 title without winning Saturday night at Oklahoma State. Even a loss to the Cowboys didn't knock the Jayhawks from their customary perch atop the conference.
Here's a look at how we rank them this week, heading into the final week of the season.
1. Kansas (22-7, 13-3, next game Wednesday vs. Texas Tech) — Whether Bill Self said he would cut the nets at his old college gym, he's making a wise decision to sit Joel Embiid out for the next two games to prepare for post-season play. One item to note: No No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament has had more than seven losses in the regular season, despite bracketologist Jerry Palm claiming that Jayhawks have played the toughest schedule of any team in the last 20 seasons.
2. Iowa State (22-6, 10-6, next game Tuesday @ Baylor) — Melvin Ejim is rounding up a productive season that could lead him to become ISU's first Big 12 Player of the Year since Jamaal Tinsley in 2001. But he will be tested inside by Baylor's massive front line in Tuesday's game.
3. Oklahoma (21-8, 10-6, next game Wednesday vs. West Virginia) — After holding Texas to 44.4 percent shooting, Sooners appear to be finally grasping Lon Kruger's defensive principles at an ideal time heading towards the post season.
4. Texas (21-8, 10-6, next game Wednesday vs. TCU) — Slumping Longhorn backcourt a legitimate concern after Felix, Holland and Taylor combine for 16 points and shoot 25 percent from the field in the loss at OU. TCU arrives just in time to build confidence spinning into the Big 12 tournament.
5. KSU (20-9, 10-6, next game Wednesday @ Oklahoma) — Wildcats wearing down opponents in waves after 38-2 edge in bench scoring sparked victory over Iowa State.
6. Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9, next game tonight vs. Kansas State) — Impressive second-half comeback against Kansas might have punched OSU's ticket to the NCAA tournament. Marcus Smart showed for a 10-minute stretch why he's the best player in the conference and maybe the nation.
7. Baylor (19-10, 7-9, next game Tuesday vs. Iowa State) — Can Bears shoot any more poorly and win? Probably not after winning with 30.2 percent effort against Texas Tech — worst by a victorious Big 12 team this season.
8. West Virginia (16-13, 8-8, next game Wednesday @ Oklahoma) — After struggling for their past three games, Mountaineers finally played defense like Bob Huggins demands in second half of victory over tired TCU team. But did it come too late?
9. Texas Tech (13-16, 5-11, next game Wednesday @ Kansas) — Jaye Crockett's ailing knees have been a major reason why the Red Raiders are struggling in a five-game losing streak. Crockett has averaged 5.0 points per game in his last three games after he was limited to a season-low one point at Baylor. It looks like Tubby Smith might be headed to the first losing season record of his career.
10. TCU (9-19, 0-16, next game Wednesday @ Texas) — Trent Johnson says he'd like to take his current team — injuries and all — into another conference to show what it could do. It might not be a stretch, considering Johnson has been Coach of the Year in three different conferences before TCU. But the Horned Frogs appear likely to become the first Big 12 team to go winless in conference play since Texas A&M in 2003-04.
