The Danube/Main axis connects Central Europe to the Rhine and the Black Sea. This river is the longest river in central Europe and Southeast Europe and the natural hinterland connection for several Black Sea ports.
Traffic on the Danube has repeatedly been affected by the wider historic context. With European integration supporting the region's dynamic economic development also new perspectives for inland waterway transport are created.
The Danube/Main axis will form a backbone of the future Rhine-Danube corridor of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).

Today is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is all about the Holy Spirit and what the Holy Spirit does.
In baseball there's sometimes two umpires on duty. One behind the plate to call balls and strikes and one out in the field to call runners out or safe on the bases.
Recently I got a chance to be a field umpire for a Little League game. Now, I've been playing baseball since I was little kid. But I had no idea where I was suppose to stand as a field umpire. I didn't know which calls I was supposed to make and which ones the head umpire behind the plate was supposed to make.
You see, when you play or watch baseball, you don't really pay attention to where the umpires are unless they get in the way. Your focus just isn't on the umps, even though they're important to the game.
Most umpires are more than okay with not being the focus of attention. They're happy to just float along in the background making sure the game runs smoothly. That's their job, and they like it.
The Holy Spirit is like a field umpire. He doesn't need to have the spotlight. He's glad to float along in the background bringing sinful people to faith and forgiveness through the message of Christ's death and resurrection. He's more than happy to quietly educate strong and weak Christians alike using the Bible.
This is what the Holy Spirit does. He teaches. He communicates. Through the Bible He communicates both God's unbending law and His all-forgiving grace.
Today we're going to talk about who the Holy Spirit is and what He does. We're also going to remember what the Holy Spirit did on the first Pentecost. Lastly, we'll talk about what we can expect from the Holy Spirit today.
But first, let's pray.
Holy Spirit, we know that you are here among us. We are gathered to praise and worship you beside the Father and the Son. Please strengthen our faith through your word. Help us form a correct picture of who you are in our minds. Erase misconceptions we might have about you and give us boldness to be your tools in this world. Speak through our actions, Holy Spirit, and more importantly - speak through your Word on our lips. Amen.
So, what exactly do we know about the Holy Spirit? Well, the Bible says God is ONE God, but THREE persons. The Holy Spirit is one of these three persons. Jesus told His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).
If we turn back to the second verse of the Bible, found in Genesis, it tells us that the Holy Spirit was there at the beginning, hovering over the yet-to-be-ordered waters of creation. If we skip forward to the book of Luke, we find out that the Holy Spirit hovered over the virgin Mary also, "overshadowing" her when Jesus was miraculously conceived in her womb. Finally, the book of Acts tells us that the Holy Spirit was "poured out" on early Christians on the day of Pentecost. He caused miracles to be seen and enabled the disciples to speak in languages they had never learned.
Now, I said earlier that the Holy Spirit is content to work behind the scenes. But in one sense the Holy Spirit is prominent everywhere God is at work. He's in charge of heaven's public relations. He was in charge of getting God's word into print, and He's in also in charge of bringing people to faith through that word.
In Second Peter it says...
"...no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21 ESV).In First Corinthians it says...
"13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:13 NKJV).In First Corinthians it also says...
"...no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:3 ESV).So, the Bible teaches us that Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible. And not only that, the Holy Spirit is the only teacher who can explain the Bible's meaning correctly and the Holy Spirit is the only person who brings people to trust in the Savior revealed in the Bible.
Essentially, the job of the Holy Spirit is COMMUNICATION. By communicating the message of man's sin and God's grace, the Holy Spirit does two things. He saves people, and then He changes people - in that order.
First, the Holy Spirit convinces us that we HAVE sinned against God and deserve the punishment of eternal hell because of our sins. But then the Holy Spirit pours God's GRACE onto us. He reveals that God's Son suffered and died in our place, for our sins. Through Jesus our sins now stand forgiven.
Once the Holy Spirit convinces a person that the Good News is true, that person is safe from hell. Then the Holy Spirit moves on to change that person inwardly. The change that the Holy Spirit brings about is not instantaneous. It comes about day by day through the Word of God being impressed on our hearts. The Holy Spirit cleans out our old bad habits and flawed ways of thinking, and replaces them with God's good habits and pure ways of thinking.
It's important to remember that the Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to make this change happen in people. He doesn't just recreate our hearts and minds like a mechanic replacing an engine. There's a lot of spiritualism floating around in religious circles today. Spiritualism that likes the idea of God working inside a person. But this modern spiritualism forgets that the Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to change people.
Even when the Holy Spirit has worked in outward and miraculous ways, His point is always to enhance the communication of the Good News of forgiveness through Christ.
Look back at our Gospel History reading for today: John 14, verse 25. There Jesus told His disciples...
"25 "These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:25-27 NKJV).If you read through all the post-resurrection words of Jesus you'll find He's always emphasizing that His disciples are going to be witnesses to the world of His death and resurrection. That's the emphasis. Jesus doesn't hardly even mention the miracles they'll be doing because the miracles aren't the main point. The important thing was communicating the soul saving message of forgiveness through Christ's cross. If the people didn't believe it, they wouldn't get the benefits of it.
Now, the first really big growth spurt in Christian church happened on Pentecost. It happened because the Holy Spirit enabled the disciples to communicate the Gospel to crowds of people. Our sermon reading for today tells us the story.
It's a big reading, so we'll need to work to stay focused. Watch closely in your mind's eye. There are miracles, but the miracles serve to frame the real power at work - the Holy Spirit communicating the Gospel to sinners.
Acts 2:1-39 (ESV)
2 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. 6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 And they were amazed and astonished, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." 12 And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" 13 But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."
14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:
17 " 'And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,
" 'I saw the Lord always before me,
for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
my flesh also will dwell in hope.
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
or let your Holy One see corruption.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of gladness with your presence.'
29 "Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,
" 'The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at my right hand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool." '
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" 38 And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself." 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked generation." 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Think about the miracles that happened on Pentecost. There was the sound of wind with no wind. There were flames of fire on the disciples that didn't burn them. They were enabled to speak the Good News in languages that they had never learned.
From the response of the crowds, apparently the only miracle that the public saw was the miraculous speaking of foreign languages. This miracle wasn't done just for the sake of doing a miracle. The Holy Spirit made this miracle happen in order to open up a door so that the disciples could COMMUNICATE THE GOSPEL to lots of people on that day!
And it worked. Three-thousand people came to faith on that day and were baptized.
Of course we understand why so many were converted on that day. These weren't Godless heathen people. These were converts to Judaism who had come to Jerusalem from across the world to worship at the temple of Jehovah. They knew the Old Testament and it's prophesies of a Savior. This tree was ripe for the picking! Just add Gospel and BAM! There was now a mega-church in Jerusalem.
But let's not forget that it was the Holy Spirit who did it. He had prepared these visitors through the Old Testament. He had taught the eleven disciples through Jesus' ministry. He, the Holy Spirit, had given them the miraculous gift to speak in unstudied foreign languages.
Just as the Holy Spirit had overshadowed Mary and caused Jesus to be conceived and born into the world, on Pentecost the Holy Spirit overshadowed the people of Jerusalem and caused the Christian church to be born - through the Word of God proclaimed clearly.
So, this brings us to our last question. What can we expect from the Holy Spirit today?
Well, we can expect the Holy Spirit to continue creating faith and strengthening Christians through the Bible. Especially through the message about Christ's death and glorious resurrection.
We can expect the Holy Spirit to be at work among us when we gather to worship the Triune God.
We can expect the Holy Spirit to open doors for us to share the Gospel with others.
But here's the thing, we need to remain in contact with the Word if we're going to be in contact with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit doesn't usually text, or Facebook or speak audibly from the sky. The Holy Spirit usually speaks through the Word of God.
So, if we want the Holy Spirit at work in our lives, we need to be in the Word of God as a habit. Like breathing or sleeping. We need to be in contact with the Word through which the Holy Spirit works.
We need to gather together with our fellow Christians to worship. To confess our sins. To receive the comfort of the Gospel. To study the Bible.
We need to look for the doors the Holy Spirit wants us to step through in service to Christ and the Gospel. And when we find those doors we need to step through them confidently, knowing that the SAME Spirit who empowered the early Christians to gather in that huge Pentecost harvest of rescued souls, is the same Spirit who powers our ministry today.
This past week I read through the first five chapters of the book of Acts. One thing that is really noticeable is how the apostles keep coming back to the Gospel message.
There's a little sermon in Acts chapter 2, 3, 4, and 5. in each of these little sermons the apostle brings his message back to the simple fact that Jesus died and rose from the dead and through repentance and faith in Him the sinner has forgiveness. Go ahead and read those first five chapters. You'll see that the focus in on the Gospel message. (See Acts 2:22-24, 3:13-15, 4:7-12, 5:29-32)
Acts 5, verse 47 summarizes the ministry of the apostles in this way...
" 2 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus" (Acts 5:47 ESV)
May the Holy Spirit move among us here at Redemption Church also, so that we may like these early Christians. Full of the Holy Spirit. Knowledgeable and continually learning from His Word. And always coming back to the simple message that the Savior is Jesus in our worship, and in our conversations with our neighbors. To the glory of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

His brief appeal was also subtitled in Spanish. Hostage deal Francois Fillon, the French prime minister, said France would be willing to take in former rebels as part of a possible deal to free Farc hostages, including Betancourt. A spokesman for Sarkozy said at the weekend that a plane with medical supplies would be kept on standby in France ready to intervene "at any time" if a hostage deal could be reached. The Colombian government has also offered a prisoner exchange in order to secure the release of Betancourt and other hostages. The Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) is holding hundreds of hostages as part of what it has said is a Marxist armed struggle against the Colombian government. SOURCE: Agencies

Tuesday: Vacuum and Mop (vacuum the entire house and mop where needed; mainly high traffic areas)
Wednesday: Bathroom (I do a quick once over on the counters, mirrors, toilet, bath, etc. Not a deep clean, but enough to make it sparkle)
Thursday: Dust (I walk the entire house and dust all surfaces)
Friday: Misc. (I normally pick something for the week that needs a deep clean or something that doesn't need a weekly cleaning such as the microwave, the ceiling fans, a messy cupboard that has been driving me nuts, etc.)

DIY-Established Sign
I came across this piece of metal in a discount decor store on the clearance isle. TIP: I ALWAYS check the clearance isle at every store!! There was a paper banner along the front that was all torn up, but the overall shape and style of the piece looked great! I knew just by looking at the shape it would be the perfect piece to create an Established sign. I thought something like this would go great in my entry way. This way, when guests entered my home, they would see when our 'home' was established.

DIY-Art with Meaning
I came across 2 pieces of canvas art I had hanging above my kitchen cabinets. I bought it years ago as a set from a discount decor store. But looking at them now with our new decor-style in mind, they really weren't working. So, I thought I would re-use them in the entry way niche. Canvas art can be expensive so I thought why not just repaint them to go with my new style. They were in perfect condition and they had a great square shape. Here is what they looked like before...
I think it is so important when decorating to incorporate decor and art that has meaning to your life. Every time I walk through my entry way I briefly read this verse and it makes me smile. Not only does this quote relate to my Christian faith, but it also relates to how much I love my husband. Things like this make a home feel warm and inviting!
To complete the niche I hung the art one on top of the other and then used a tall vase with white twigs to balance the overall space. Keeping things tall and vertical draws the eye upwards! This entire project cost me only a few dollars! I love the way this turned out and I hope you can re-purpose something in your home using this lettering paint technique!

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
My husband's favorite thing in the whole world to have for dessert is anything with a combination of peanut butter and chocolate. I came across a recipe that inspired me to take a basic favorite, the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, and make a homemade version. And as Paula Deen would say, "This is to DIE for ya'll!" I bake all the time now and everything I put chocolate in turns out to be pretty good, I mean how can you go wrong with chocolate, but this is DEVINE!
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can cream cheese frosting
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2T sugar
3 graham crackers-crumbled
2 bags Hershey's chocolate chips
Bake the chocolate cake according to the box directions. When its finished baking allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30min. Once cooled, transfer to a bowl and mix in can of cream cheese frosting. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will allow the mixture to harden just slightly.
Take a 12 cup muffin pan and line with cupcake liners. Melt 1 bag of chocolate chips either on the stove or microwave. Pour a little melted chocolate into each cupcake liner and then use the back of a spoon or pastry brush to make sure the chocolate covers the bottom of the cupcake liner and about halfway up the sides. There needs to be a good enough amount to hold in the rest of the ingredients to come…
Place this into the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow it to harden. Meanwhile mix your peanut butter, sugar, and graham crackers. Place this in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Take your chocolate lined muffin pan out of the refrigerator as well as your cake/frosting mix. You are going to scoop a small amount of cake into each cupcake liner. A little smaller than a golf ball. Use your spoon or fingers to flatten into liner. Then remove your peanut butter mix from refrigerator and scoop a small amount of that on top of the cake in the liners. You can flatten this down a little too. Once all of your cupcake liners are filled, place them back into the refrigerator.
You will now melt the second bag of chocolate chips. Remove muffin pan from fridge and pour a small amount of chocolate over each cup creating a chocolate top. Use a spoon or spatula to make sure the chocolate covers the entire top of the cupcake liner and seals the sides.
Now you can place this back in the fridge (I know, for the hundredth time) and allow them to cool and harden. Give it about 30-60min and they will be ready for you to enjoy!

Wallpaper look without the wallpaper price!
Black and silver with damask everywhere. Beautiful stuff, don't get me wrong, but definitely not our style. I cleared the room out and luckily we have a basic khaki paint in the entry way (it used to be lavender...don't ask). You can also see in the mirror reflection the damask wallpaper in the wall niche. I began by ripping that down and in the process was inspired by an article I read on painting your own wallpaper. I knew I was on a "one income family" budget and this sounded right up my alley. I am going to show you step by step what I did to get a completely custom look for the cost of a quart of paint and a small paintbrush!
Step 1: I bought a quart of light blue paint. Behr color: Contemplation. I then painted the entire niche with that color.
Step 2: I found a picture of a quatrefoil online in the size I wanted and printed it. I cut it out, and traced it onto card stock. After cutting it out of the card stock I used pencil to trace it onto the wall in the niche right on top of the blue paint. This part took a while. I would spend about 30 min at at time working on it while my son slept. Needless to say it took a few days to finish. But SO worth it!
Step 3: I poured a small amount of the blue paint I used for the wall into another container and added white paint to it. I was trying to lighten the color just enough so it would stand out from the blue wall without being too bold. I then took a small art brush and painted the lines. This also took quite a bit of time, but I love to paint. I find it so soothing. And your lines DO NOT have to be perfect. The repetition in the pattern helps to distract the eye from any little mistake. Besides, who is going to be looking at it that closely anyway? Your mom or your best friend? Maybe, but they'll be so impressed they won't care!
Step 4: This is what the overall finished pattern looks like. I love that it has the look of wallpaper, but it is also very subtle. This is a great, inexpensive way to dress up any nook or niche in your home!
Step 5: Decorate! I decided to use an unfinished 1x4 from Home Depot for shelving. My husband cut it right down the middle to make 2 shelves. I then white washed the shelves using an old can of grey paint I had lying around. All I did was add water and brushed it on until I got that beachy, grey, driftwood look. I used "L" brackets from Home Depot to secure the shelves to the wall. Then came the fun part. I just ran around the house looking for small decor items to "style" the shelves with. The artwork was just some old art I had lying around. I ripped the art out and had 2 beachy prints made at Walmart for $8!! The books are from the DOLLAR STORE! I just took the ugly plastic covers off to reveal the solid hardback of the book. ONLY $1 each!!
I absolutely love the niches now and the entryway is almost complete. Once finished I will post a before and after photo. Hopefully you can use this wallpaper paint technique in your home somewhere. Think outside the box and use any pattern/color combination you can think of!! And, if this project is a little too intimidating for you and you live in the Dallas area, you can call me to help you along the way! email@example.com

He's an architect, not a psychic, but
For the Louis Vuitton Foundation museum in Paris, did technology catch up to your vision?
We pretty much work in the front lines of technology, and maybe we push it a little bit. We play, we take some risks and explore some things that maybe haven't been explored before. The Paris building is unique because it's two buildings — it's a solid building with a glass dress on it, let's say. I'm hoping we'll be able to play with art between the two, like if you hung a banner behind it, you could read between the glass [and the rest of the building]. In France, historically, the cathedrals had sculptures on the [building]. I wanted to do that there. The curator isn't ready yet.
In L.A., there's Disney Hall and the Grand Avenue project; do you want another piece of the Los Angeles skyline?
I am so superstitious, I would never say I want a piece of it. It's crazy, but I don't — I wait until it happens.
One thing we can't seem to create or grow is a public gathering place, like Times Square.
We're such a car city — you've heard this before. We're just so dispersed. I've always thought Wilshire Boulevard is a linear downtown. It didn't grow that way because Buffy Chandler and other interests built the Music Center downtown. Disney Hall, for me, should have been built at the Wadsworth Theater on the Westside, and the cathedral, I thought, should have been built at MacArthur Park. And
Much of L.A.'s architectural creativity is in homes, not grand public buildings.
I don't know that government has any buildings that would get me excited except for our old City Hall. But going for really high-level architecture is rare anywhere in the world.
That's why I got in trouble the other day; I gave the finger to a guy. I'd just gotten off a plane [in Spain]. I was there to get an award. I was tired and I got a call that the press conference was in 20 minutes! They put me on a podium, lit me up, wired me up, and the guy gets up and says, "Mr. Gehry, what do you say to people who say your buildings are weird?"
It was like Dr. Strangelove — I wasn't going to do that, but I just looked at him and up came the arm. What I said was I believe that 98% of the buildings built in the world weren't very exciting. I didn't say architecture was s---. Every city kind of looks alike.
Is a least common denominator at work?
I have a theory about denialism. I think we deny that's happened.
When I did the chain-link stuff, everybody thought I was crazy. I was exploring denialism. Chain-link is ubiquitous, and everybody hates it. So I started to look at how you can make it lovable, how you can make it pretty. I did it at Santa Monica Place on the garage. A friend of mine used to make fun of me about chain-link. I visited his house, and in his yard was a tennis court with a chain-link fence around it. He could see it from his bedroom, his living room, his dining room, his kitchen. I said, "I guess I've converted you. You see chain-link from every room in this house, so you must love it." That's denialism. He wasn't seeing it.
It's a metaphor for the city; it's the same thing. We're not seeing it as a bunch of ugly buildings.
Do you want to design a whole community, a way for people to live, like Le Corbusier or Paolo Soleri?
When you trained as an architect in the '50s, you're trained to have that mindset, but I never did. That's antithetical to democracy; democracy is really freedom of choice for everybody. I don't want to give up democracy for architecture. Democracy creates a certain kind of chaos, a collision of thought that's interesting to explore. Take it as a positive. It's not going to change.
It's not that I wouldn't like to design a city. I have ideas, maybe like the garden city programs in the early 20th century. It doesn't happen that much any more.
When does the "shock of the new" turn into an accepted aesthetic?
I [told] Charlie Rose, "Look, when Matisse started doing the cutouts, I thought, poor old man, that's so stupid." And now the cutouts are beautiful. I was a Matisse freak, then all of a sudden he started making those paper dolls. That's the end of his career, right? So look what happened. I've had some of the same experience. Like Disney Hall when we showed the models, people were saying it was broken crockery, all that crap. At Bilbao, they threatened my life because they didn't understand it. Now they love it.
Did people begin to expect that as the "Frank Gehry style"?
Yes; I ignored it. I couldn't repeat it, so I didn't. Now sometimes I consciously do but it changes; everything changes if your tentacles are out for what's going on around you. New client, new place, new time, technologies change; there's quantum leaps in technologies.
Do potential clients look at a design and say, "That's not Frank Gehry enough"?
I get that. Stupid, isn't it? We do what we do. I think in the end there turns out to be enough Frank Gehry.
You were asked to design an Eisenhower memorial in Washington. It's been controversial, and the design has gone through myriad panels and commission. Is that a problem inherent to public projects?
It's a problem with government. I'm a liberal; I'm not anti-government, but if you work for the government under contract — one more project, I'd probably join the Koch brothers!
It's difficult. [Rep.] Darrell Issa [R-Vista] helped me get it through. He came here, saw the [design], did his homework. He understood that I was flexible. He was worried that because of the pressure on me I was going to lose [the project], that [it] was not going to be realized in a way that would be worth doing. And he went to the commission.
Do any critics ever make you think, oh, they have a point?
Oh, often. I won't change something if I think someone's trying to mess with me and they don't understand, but if it's somebody I respect and find relevant, I certainly will look into it.
Your projects require a big cast of characters. Does collaboration work for you?
Yes, all the time. I like the people — they stimulate me. They ballpark things for me, get the important statistical stuff, then we start working intuitively. I lead this little team and they respond. It's a magic trick!
A film of [jazz musician] Wayne Shorter showed a guy setting out the music stands and the drums and Wayne comes in and the guy says, "Hey, Wayne, what are we going to practice tonight?" And Wayne says, "You can't practice what you ain't invented yet."
It's the same with any creative thing — you operate intuitively, you explore intuitively, you can't predict where you're going to go.

Many sections of the UK media have reported on the latest "crisis" in the NHS the intervention by the British Red Cross, where by and large they fail to make one simple distinction. There is no British NHS as such. Lazy UK journalism like this creates the impression that there is a UK problem, which may or may not be the case. Surely it's time that the Scottish Government took a deliberate line of rebranding NHS Scotland to the SNHS or SHS so that there is less chance of health issues in other parts of the UK being confused with specifically Scottish ones. Why should Scotland's performance be held up to scrutiny because England is failing miserably?
If it's confusing for many people across the country, this wasn't helped by the online activity of two STV "Journalists" (and I use the term loosely, as they are apparently paid for what they do), Aidan Kerr and Oliver Dickinson.
Aidan Kerr tweeted that for the fourth month running Scottish A&E departments had failed to reach their waiting time target of 95% within 4hrs. It was left to members of the public to ask some of the most basic questions: how does this compare with previous months; has it significantly worsened and what factors could account for any fall? Only after asking was it revealed that there was no great movement and the figures were within 1.5% of those recorded for the same period in the last five years: in real terms, pretty much where they had been. But when there's an atmosphere of crisis on the big news, the local guys can't help trying to get in on the act, which is no doubt why STV's Oliver Dickinson took to twitter to search for anyone who had an operation cancelled or delayed.
It's one thing when members of the public get in touch with concerns and you bring that story to the fore because it deserves airing. It's quite another to have an agenda and then tout on social media for stories to back it up! Following this Mr Kerr then presented figures for cancelled operations, again utterly without context until pressed to do so. One person pointed out that their father was rushed into hospital for an emergency operation to save his life, and due to that three routine operations he was due to have were cancelled. Those three operations are no doubt in the total of cancelled operations, but without proper context the headline is meaningless, unless you want to present a picture which is not entirely accurate.
This isn't investigative journalism, it's trawling social media, inflaming opinion and presenting it as news. STV's Digital reporting has not covered itself in glory in recent months and if they aren't careful they will soon be viewed with the same disdain that the BBC is.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Secret Sunshine (Milyang) (2007) is a Korean drama written and directed by Chang-dong Lee, based on the novel by Chong-jun Yi. The film stars Do-Yeon Jeon (The Housemaid), Kang-ho Song (Thirst), and Jung-yeop Seon. A mother moves with her son to the town where her deceased husband was born, when she experiences another tragic event.
I admire watching films that are successful in portraying the unique emotional vulnerabilities that only a woman can experience. Specifically, the emotional unraveling due to the loss of a child. In Secret Sunshine, a mother, unfortunately, learns the hard way, the importance of keeping financial affairs private.
Secret Sunshine is the translation of the word "Miryang," the childhood home of her now deceased husband. Now widowed, she decides to move to the town with her son Jun (Jung-yeop Seon) and build a house with the life insurance money. This way, her son could grow up in the same town as his father. On their way to Miryang, her car breaks down. The mechanic, Kim Jong-chan (Kang-ho Song), arrives and kinda awkwardly, befriends him. She begins establishing herself in the town, enrolls her son in school and begins dispensing advice to neighboring businesses. She starts her own business as a piano teacher, giving piano lessons to the local children.
The locals are kind of suspicious of her; a single woman with a small child, starting her own business. Not only did this seem "weird" to them, a local pharmacist did not understand her stance on not being a Christian. Nonetheless, she is optimistic that everything will come together in the end. Eventually, the local women warm up to her and they go out for drinks and karaoke. She returns home only to find her son missing. Just as she is realizing her son is gone, she receives a call from the alleged kidnapper demanding all of the money from her husband's insurance policy; and to dump the money on the outskirts of town, in a parking lot.
First her husband–now her son. When the kidnapping goes awry–the kidnapper phones Shin-ae to ask for more money. Evidently, the amount she dumped was less than the kidnapper had expected. She had to explain, that was all the money she had; she had to buy a car; establish her business and a place for them to stay. When the detectives contact Shin-ae and escort her to a local river to identify the body of her child. Her world is now in stark silence. The kidnapper is almost immediately arrested. The events that occur thereafter are reactions the bitter realities of loss: She finds God. Involves herself in petty theft, commits adultery, attempts suicide, and the comfort she found in religion–abandons her. Shin-ae loses her faith in God.
But honestly, how does one depict on-film, the tragedy of losing a child? The film did not proceed in a predictable manner of just hunting down a child murderer, instead, it chronicled the emotional turmoil of a grieving mother. Secret Sunshine serves as a brilliant character story and not the first poignant tormented character portrayal for director Chang-dong Lee. In the film Poetry, where an older woman suffering from Alzheimer's is confronted with the realities of her grandson's involvement with the gang rape of a young girl; and in Oasis two societal misfits find love amidst the disapproval of their families.
Secret Sunshine is a film focused on a truly emotional character study of suffering–trying to un-learn or negate the most important aspect of her life—motherhood. I have found it extremely difficult trying to describe a film filled with powerful emotional presence; without giving too much of the film away. Do-Yeon as Shin-ae gives viewers nothing less than her every emotional outbreak–poising for every believable, heart-wrenching moment as a mother in crisis. Her struggle in coping with such a life-altering tragedy is what makes this film beyond memorable.
Kang-ho as Kim Jong-chan presents a form of stability in all of the intense events of the film. It is as if he is there when you cannot withstand the brutal reality of Shin-ae pangs of her loss–he offers a constant sullen, and gentle comedic tenacity that makes the more depressing moments in this film almost bearable.

Sedation Dentistry Services
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, SEDATION DENTISTRY HAS DEVELOPED TO ENSURE THAT PATIENTS HAVE A CALM AND COMFORTABLE EXPERIENCE DURING DENTAL PROCEDURES. While almost any patient can benefit from sedation dentistry, patients with dental fears or anxieties particularly appreciate its many benefits.
As opposed to anesthesia, sedation dentistry is primarily designed for relaxation and anxiety reduction, not as a painkiller. However, local anesthetic is often administered alongside dental sedation to numb any pain. Sedation dentistry ranges in types, levels, and dosages depending on the patient's current health conditions, medical background, and reason for needing dental sedation. A general overview of the levels and types of dental sedation follows:
Types Of Sedation Used In Sedation Dentistry
Minimal Sedation
Minimal, or light dental sedation provides increased relaxation while the patient remains alert, awake, and able to respond to verbal commands. According to the American Dental Association's Guidelines for the Use of Sedation, minimal sedation can be administered in pill form, but the dosage cannot exceed the maximum FDA-recommended dose of a drug for unmonitored home use. Another common form of light dental sedation is nitrous oxide, also known as 'laughing gas.' Nitrous oxide flows through a nose mask, creating a pain-numbing effect, with minimal anxiety reduction.
Moderate Sedation
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is most commonly associated with sedation dentistry. Based on your previous medical background, anxiety level, and procedure type, your sedation dentist will prescribe a type of sedation medication (in pill form) for you to take prior to your appointment. By the time the procedure starts, you should feel relaxed, calm, and slightly groggy. Oral conscious sedation ensures that you remain conscious throughout the entire procedure; some patients fall asleep, but can be woken up easily. Oral sedation has proven to be safe for thousands of patients because you can still breathe independently, respond to verbal commands, and operate protective reflexes (such as coughing to clear your airway). Despite being conscious, most patients experience an amnesia-like effect, with little to no remembrance of their dental appointment afterward.
IV Sedation
IV sedation (intravenous sedation) produces results similar to oral conscious sedation, however the sedation medication is fed intravenously into the arm or hand instead of orally through a pill. IV sedation works best for patients without a fear of needles. Because IV sedation is administered in the office during the patient's appointment, it is best used for shorter dental procedures.
Deep Sedation
Deep sedation is not generally categorized under sedation dentistry, but it is occasionally used for specific cases. Unlike oral conscious sedation, the patient is semi or totally unconscious during deep sedation. Recovery time is generally longer and the patient may need assistance breathing.
General Anesthesia
Sedation dentistry should not be confused with general anesthesia, which is primarily used to numb pain for large cases or surgeries. General anesthesia can render a patient unconscious, necessitate breathing assistance, and disable protective reflexes. General anesthesia has been successfully used in many cases, but it requires an anesthesiologist who carefully monitors the dosage of medication and the patient's vital signs.
Positive Side Effects of Sedation Dentistry
Temporary Amnesia: Many of the medications used in sedation dentistry create a temporary amnesia-like effect so that you will remember little to nothing of your dental visit!
Reduced Post-Operative Soreness: According to the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, fear and anxiety release chemicals in your brain that create muscle tension—leading to post-operative soreness. Sedation dentistry eliminates fear and anxiety, leading to more relaxed muscles and less post-operative soreness.
Dry Mouth: Dental sedatives decrease salivary flow, which allows the sedation dentist to work more effectively in the dryer mouth environment.

There are a lot of highly volatile but interesting companies I would like to take a position in, but only for the short term, as I think their long-term success isn't certain. Wouldn't it make sense to buy these companies using money from an IRA?
I'm 55 and doing just that. I have two IRA's, one a SEP-IRA for my company and one a Roth IRA. I am using the Roth to trade, except for the 5 shares of NOK I bought the other day. If I lose the money, it's my fault, but so far so good. Like you, I wanted to invest in some speculative stocks (bio-techs), but am keeping a close watch. With the online Roth, I can easily place a stop order for 1/2 of the stock and hold the remainder.

Scrilla is the latest to announce he is leaving Young Jeezy's CTE label.
Young Jeezy's CTE imprint has seen a shakeup of sorts after joining with Atlantic Records to form a new imprint. Earlier this month it was announced that Freddie Gibbswas leaving the label, on amicable terms, and shortly after the joint venture with Atlantic was confirmed. Now another artist, Scrilla, has announced that he is leaving CTE.
Taking to Twitter, the rapper let fans know of his departure, and that it is on good terms, "I want to take this time to say it's been a learning experience working with CTE. no hard feelings but it's time for me to do me."
Shortly after, as a parting gift of sorts, and also showing that he and Snowman are on good terms, Scrilla dropped a joint track with Jeezy and Richie Cap 1, which you can listen to here.

Bullying in school and cyberspace: Associations with depressive symptoms in Swiss and Australian adolescents
Document Type
Journal Article
BioMed Central Ltd.
Faculty of Computing, Health and Science
School of Exercise, Biomedical and Health Science / Child Health Promotion Research Centre
This article was originally published as: Perren, S., Dooley, J. J., Shaw, T. M., & Cross, D. S. (2010). Bullying in school and cyberspace: Associations with depressive symptoms in Swiss and Australian adolescents. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, 4(28), 10p.. Original article available here
Background Cyber-bullying (i.e., bullying via electronic means) has emerged as a new form of bullying that presents unique challenges to those victimised. Recent studies have demonstrated that there is a significant conceptual and practical overlap between both types of bullying such that most young people who are cyber-bullied also tend to be bullied by more traditional methods. Despite the overlap between traditional and cyber forms of bullying, it remains unclear if being a victim of cyber-bullying has the same negative consequences as being a victim of traditional bullying. Method The current study investigated associations between cyber versus traditional bullying and depressive symptoms in 374 and 1320 students from Switzerland and Australia respectively (52% female; Age: M = 13.8, SD = 1.0). All participants completed a bullying questionnaire (assessing perpetration and victimisation of traditional and cyber forms of bullying behaviour) in addition to scales on depressive symptoms. Results Across both samples, traditional victims and bully-victims reported more depressive symptoms than bullies and non-involved children. Importantly, victims of cyber-bullying reported significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms, even when controlling for the involvement in traditional bullying/victimisation. Conclusions Overall, cyber-victimisation emerged as an additional risk factor for depressive symptoms in adolescents involved in bullying.

Email is corporate America's and higher education's communication workhorse. Millions of emails are sent daily and many people have thousands of emails in their inboxes. Are you managing your email efficiently? Does handling your email take multiple hours each day? Are you really being the email correspondent you believe that you're being?
Managing Email Efficiently
Let me share five tips that I employ for managing email efficiently.
- Email happens later in the afternoon. Use your creative energies for projects that require creativity. This really means that, in the morning when you have energy, don't squander it on email. When you're tired but still need to be productive is when you should manage email.
- Don't email late at night. One time, late at night (or early in the morning, whichever), I sent an email asking how hard it would be to do something. Inadvertently, I sent an entire team into a frenzy and damaged some working relationships. I thought I was being productive but, because I was tired, I couldn't see that my message was destructive.
- Schedule time to handle your email. Don't check your email religiously. You can squander tons of time on email by continuously checking it. (I break this rule often but know better.) Put time on your calendar to answer email and then neglect it.
- Goal: Inbox zero. This sounds like the "promised land"–and it is. Unless you're always ensuring that you've finished all of your email, you've potentially left something important unresolved. For this, I actually think that using mobile apps is easier. Since you can easily "swipe" your work away, you can be managing email efficiently in a fairly easily manner.
- Work into it. It's best to handle the easy emails first. Emails that require only a "Thank you!" and your name or require no response at all are those that should be handled first. Then you can psyche yourself into finishing the task.
I felt motivated enough about this to, on one day, compose a video about just this.
Additional Pointers
Let me offer a few additional pointers for composition of your email. Here goes:
- Proofread, proofread, and then proofread one more time before sending. Take time and read your own message multiple times before you send it. Read it aloud–it makes a tremendous difference. Obey the grammar you've placed in your own message and then adjust it. Plus, every modern browser or email client checks spelling for you. Fix your work.
- Observe rules of proper messages. Unless a relaxed rapport has already been established between you and those to whom your email is addressed, use proper rules of etiquette. (Your boss, no matter how relaxed, should always receive emails that have been properly formatted.) Use a correct salutation and conclusion.
- Format your message into clear, concise paragraphs. This will be noticed and appreciated.
- KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. If you put too many questions or comments, people will begin to skim and they most likely won't complete all of the actionable items in your communique.
Email is a beast that will consume your life. With dozens, nay hundreds of emails daily, the ability to manage this gargantuan responsibility is key. Successfully managing email efficiently is a task that is challenging but that can be budgeted. If you plan ahead and schedule (at a reasonable hour) when you'll handle email, work into it easily, and then work to inbox zero, you'll eventually make a mole hill out of the mountain.
Also, remember the bonus points: proofread, use etiquette, use formatting to accentuate your points and be simple.
Good luck with your email!

My dad and I were walking out of his shop toward the house. It was dusk but not quite dark to the west. He pointed to the East/Northeast and said, "look, there's Jupiter". I knew it was not Jupiter since Jupiter is rising after midnight lately. Then he said, "or maybe it's Venus?" (probably because it was so bright). Then as we both watched, it started descending slowly down toward the treeline. Its movement was wobbly, not straight. It kept descending until it was out of sight and we were both quite incredulous.

It's 4am, and despite everything, sleep has eluded me tonight. I've spent the day trying to write articles, to no avail. My brain has refused to shut off, while also refusing to turn on. It's an odd place to be in mentally.
I had thought by this point I would be back full-fledged into blogging, finding a healthy work/life balance, and simply moving forward. Blogging has been harder than I expected, not because of a lack of time, but I think, at least in part, because I'm still processing. As for a work/life balance, I'm beginning to wonder if that is even a possibility in this career.
It's been a long time since I've actively blogged about things I'm facing, rather than current events/issues. My blog has been driven by the desire to provide content of value rather than content of a personal nature. As such, I sometimes wonder if I have lost a chunk of what makes blogging important to me. This fact also makes me feel slightly out of my element when writing a more personal post.
It hardly feels possible that it is already August, and yet, here we are. Two-thirds of the way through 2016, and it has not been the productive, positive year I had planned on it being. Quite the opposite, in fact. What it has successfully been is an emotional, stress-filled, frustrating 8 months, filled with confusion, a lack of direction, and lots of self-doubt.
In February, I was sent on a medical leave by my doctor. In my last post, I spoke about never thinking I would have been burnt out by 30, but there you have it. If I'm being honest with myself, I was barely functioning. I won't go into details on what happened or how I got there, but I will say it has left me questioning everything about my work life and career goals.
I spent four months trying to recover from being mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. Four months trying to get my life back on track. Four months on learning how to be happy and satisfied, and do things that made me happy again. And in the span of a month, I feel like it's slipping away again.
I can't fully blame that slipping and sliding on work though. I've been off my game for over a month now, and I haven't been able to get it back. One of my best friends passed away at the end of June. She had a long, hard battle with cancer, and though she was part of my life for such a short time, she made a huge impact.
You would think with all the death I have encountered in life, I'd know how to process and deal by now. But I don't. Most of the time, I feel okay, save for that numbing fog in the back of my head. Different things set me off — sometimes I go from totally fine to sobbing for the strangest of reasons.
Every time I sit down to write, I can't find the words. I can't find the words to talk about her, or to talk about anything. When I sleep, most times I dream about her. I dream she's alive again; I dream she never left.
I miss her. While I barely saw her over the last six months of her life due to her condition and frequent hospitalization, we still spoke over text as frequently as she was able. Sometimes, I still check my phone expecting for a message from her, updating me or making plans. I can't bring myself to delete her text messages because they are the last little bit of her I have with me.
I don't even know how to express how I feel about all this. I'm not angry with God for not healing her in the way we wanted or for taking her from us. She is finally without pain or struggle and in a place of pure joy. But I can't deny I feel robbed. And maybe that's selfish of me, but it's true. I feel robbed of the chance to know her better, robbed of being able to have the time to fully enjoy our friendship before things got worse for her. I feel robbed of a friendship I've never experienced with anyone else.
And I feel guilty for that. I feel guilty because what I was robbed of was only a fraction of what her husband and family lost. Because the hopes and dreams and plans we made together pale in comparison to the hopes and dreams and plans she and her husband had.
I don't know whether my grief is playing a role in my current lack of satisfaction with where I am at in life. I can't say for certain, either, if that continued grief is the root cause of my mental fog or simply another contributor to it.
What I do know is I need to snap out of this. I need to figure out where it is I'm going, what it is I want, and how to move forward. Because right now, I'm tired and I'm still worn out. And frankly, I'm tired of being tired. I'm tired of feeling emotionally and mentally stuck.
I just want to move forward again. To feel joy that my friend is out of pain instead of hurting that she is not here. To feel like I'm not trapped somewhere where my work is meaningless and I will never move forward or up. To feel like I'm doing something of value, and actually able to focus on enjoying my life instead of feeling like I should always be working, lest I fall behind.
And truthfully, I don't know how to do any of that without feeling guilty that I am letting people down.
It's now 5am, and probably a good time to end this ramble before I go on too far.

Custom Cabinetry

Fill out my online form.
Early in 2002, we decided to expand the products and services we offer to our customers to include custom cabinetry. We believe this to be a natural extension of the expertise developed by the master craftsmen at Eldred Wheeler over the past thirty two years, and something that a good number of our customers have requested in the past. It would seem that an understanding of the components of fine cabinetmaking makes it difficult to accept less, especially in the kitchen where so much of our daily activity is centered. Large or small each cabinetry job we undertake receives the ultimate care and attention to detail; cabinetry that is as functional and efficient as it is beautiful. Our craftsmen make sure your cabinetry meets the demands of contemporary life while reflecting the aesthetics and values of the period that inspired it.
|The goal of our cabinetry venture is to offer the same traditional materials and construction methods as we use when handcrafting our 18th century reproduction furniture. The wide Cherry and tiger maple boards, mortise and tenon joinery and dove-tailed drawers are important elements of our fine cabinetry, and essential in conveying the warmth and purity of design inherent in colonial American craftsmanship. In addition to this we offer various options including hand carved shell and fan patterns, bracket or ogee feet, fluted columns and inlay or hand painted designs.
An Eldred Wheeler Kitchen is an investment in lasting value. Because we sell our cabinetry direct to our customers our kitchens are affordable and built with superior materials and craftsmanship. Should you wish to carry the look into other areas of your home, we have the ability to create coordinating wall units, vanities, built-in entertainment centers, bookcases, raised panel walls, wainscoting and more. We will be there every step of the way working within your requirements and schedule, to ensure that your cabinetry reflects all that you envision.
Eldred Wheeler's highly-renowned finishes start with our unique water-based stain, combined with a light coating of natural shellac. A proprietary toner mix and kitchen cabinetry-grade lacquers are then applied. These are hand-rubbed and glazed to achieve the warmth and patina of antiques and provide the everyday protection needed in harsh environments of a kitchen or bath vanity.
Hardware includes the finest under-mount concealed full extension drawer slides. Hinges are concealed and adjustable. For visible hardware we recommend solid brass, but customer may select an alternative. Bracket feet enhance the cabinet design.

It quite apparent that President Fifty Seven States, b/k/a Barack Obama want current Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice to become the next Secretary of State. One Dana Milbank, Washington Post, thinks it is not going to happen:
Even in a town that rewards sharp elbows and brusque personalities, [Susan] Rice has managed to make an impressive array of enemies — on Capitol Hill, in Foggy Bottom and abroad. Particularly in comparison with the other person often mentioned for the job, Sen. John Kerry, she can be a most undiplomatic diplomat, and there likely aren't enough Republican or Democratic votes in the Senate to confirm her.
Obama has lost the liberal wing to the WaPo.
Addendum: How bad is it when Maureen Dowd takes you to the woodshed, from the New York Times:
An Africa expert, Rice should have realized that when a gang showed up with R.P.G.'s and mortars in a place known as a hotbed of Qaeda sympathizers and Islamic extremist training camps, it was not anger over a movie. She should have been savvy enough to wonder why the wily Hillary was avoiding the talk shows.
The president's fierce defense of Rice had virile flare. But he might have been better off leaving it to aides, so he did not end up going mano a mano with his nemesis John McCain on an appointment he hasn't even made (though now Obama might feel compelled to, just to prove that he can't be pushed around), and so he could focus on fiscal cliff bipartisanship.
His argument that Rice "had nothing to do with Benghazi," raises the question: Then why was she the point person?
Susan bend down and kiss your bun good bye.

We are your Vancouver Team Building Specialists
Not in Vancouver? Team building activities near you
Contact Us! 604-924-4500 or 1-877-565-8735 or Click Here to Request More Information
A crime has been committed and time is running out. It is up to the people on your team to organize an emergency mission to achieve your main objectives to rescue the victim and catch the kidnapper!
This business simulation training team building program has been designed to be completed in stages. With the clues picked up as teams progress, each subsequent stage will require that the knowledge gleaned from earlier stages be used to continue forwards to the ultimate goal: Rescue!
Kidnapped! can be customized to include a back story that is relevant to your organization. Better still, the actual identity of the kidnapping victim AND the kidnapper can be customized to your group. If there is someone in your organization who would be a compelling hostage (the chairman of the board or a cherished customer perhaps?), we can modify the Kidnapped! program to suit your specifications.
Your people will be inspired by both the challenge presented and the sense of urgency as they do battle with the clock to rescue the person who has been kidnapped and taken hostage. The environment created requires attention to detail, creativity, great teamwork and dedication. After all, a human life is at stake! In a dramatic climax, your group will (hopefully) discover the victim and perform the rescue. Participants will walk away from the Kidnapped! program feeling like they've experienced a true Adventure with a strong sense of accomplishment.
Stages will be tackled one at a time; some will require the efforts of the entire group, while others will use smaller teams. Teams will be changed at several points in the program, so everyone will have an opportunity to work with different people. Each person will end up with a score at the end of the session that consists of:
Every stage will demand a slightly different set of skills be employed to successfully navigate the challenge. Following each stage, people will regroup and assess how best to proceed. During these meetings, the 'Tactical Commander' (a facilitator) will receive reports about the group's progress and then assist in outlining the next stage of the rescue operation. These meetings will be interactive and critical to the overall success of the mission.
Because Kidnapped! is a training program with genuine organizational benefits, these meetings between stages will also be the time when the training/learning outcomes are reviewed and highlighted. For those paying close attention, there may also be hints dropped as to the attributes required to address the upcoming stage's hurdles.
In each phase of this program, the group will be visiting different areas to solve problems, gather evidence, conduct trials and prove hypotheses. Kidnapped! has been structured to take advantage of an area's existing features, including geography, attractions and neighborhoods. Depending on the time of year, it can be either biased to conducting challenges outside or inside.
To rescue the victim, demonstrating a range of different skill sets is essential. Also, group dynamics will prove to be important as every individual will be faced with adapting to varying group compositions. Some stages pit small groups against one another, while others are more team oriented.
The price we quote you is the price you pay. We include any related travel and miscellaneous costs in our quote so you can feel confident your budget will be met for the program.
Pricing for premium, full-service programs like this one depends on factors such as your group size and preferred event location. For the majority of groups we work with, pricing ranges from $115 to $350 per person. For smaller groups we do have a minimum total investment level of $7,500+. For larger groups we'll be as flexible as possible to work within your budget. Pricing does not include any venue or location rental fees.
Contact us for a fast and personalized proposal that addresses your program specifics, group dynamics, objectives and budget.
"I enjoyed the event in its entirety, and really liked how the camaraderie of our employees mixed with their competitive spirit. Our employees got to interact in a team of people that they don't work with on a daily basis. I very much appreciate your energy and attention to detail. Everyone had a very good time and enjoyed the problem-solving opportunities."
"Kidnapped! A Rescue Mission is EXACTLY what we needed to break through with our business. Our facilitator was an incredible leader and his ability to keep the group on track while making each aspect of the education process fun and adventurous made for great training!"

We're crazy about this Middle Eastern chickpea-and-sesame-paste puree; served cold with pita, olives, and raw vegetables, it makes a great start to a festive dinner party. In this dish, the best texture of all is obtained by passing the cooked chickpeas through a food mill; other devices-like a food processor-are acceptable, but inferior. The following version is lighter than most, because it doesn't contain oil (but you may drizzle the finished dish with olive oil). Serves 4 as a first course

Econsultancy: Checkout Abandonment On The Rise
From Econsultancy: The main reasons why shoppers abandon their shopping cart.
- High shipping costs – 44%
- Not ready to purchase – 41%

Chef Scott Walton successfully worked in the restaurant industry for over 20 years in Chicago. He's held numerous Executive Chef positions and received many accolades for his talents and love of food. Markethouse is where Scott really came into his own style of cooking. Building one of the largest rooftop gardens in the city and sourcing responsibly, he built a reputation that was well-respected in the industry. After a 4 year run at Markethouse, Scott accepted the Executive Chef position at Howells and Hood located in the historic Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue. This is where Scott met now partner, Jason Akemann.
The two built friendship based on mutual love and appreciation of good food done right.
Although Chicago is where Walton called home for over 20 years, he realized home is where the heart is. His wife, Maggie, was born and raised in Pittsburgh, and even though, she, too, enjoyed living in Chicago for 7 years, it's never felt like home to her. Home was Pittsburgh. Her face would light up when she described the friendly people of Pittsburgh, the character of its eclectic neighborhoods, the innumerable cultural offerings – and the city enticed Walton. When Walton first visited Pittsburgh in 2012, he came to understand his wife's passion and he was hooked.
When they started their family in 2014, they knew Pittsburgh is where they want to raise their family and where Walton wanted to plant roots within the community.
Shortly after moving to Pittsburgh in 2014, Walton took the Executive Chef position at Heinz Field. While Walton relished this opportunity, he still kept looking to open his own space.
As his wife always says "all roads lead to Pittsburgh" and it couldn't be truer.
Simple. Honest. Soulful. This is how Walton describes his food in a nutshell.
