JetBlue is moving up its expected opening date of Terminal 5 at New York John F. Kennedy to
September 2008, that previously had been scheduled for early 2009. The $742 million concourse, one of the largest construction projects in the USA, will replace the carrier's operations at the cramped Terminal 6.
"In a tour of the facility for USA TODAY, JetBlue spokesman Todd Burke said construction is ahead of schedule and that the project is 'coming along beautifully.' Designed by San Francisco-based architecture firm Gensler, the 640,000-square-foot terminal is a glass-metal structure that will sit immediately behind
the empty landmark TWA terminal designed by the late Finnish Eero Saarinen."
The buildings will be connected through the dreamlike tubular corridors — featured evocatively in Stephen Soderberg's film featuring Leo from 2002 "Catch Me If You Can" — that once led to T.W.A.'s gates. The whole introduction to the film is very much inspired by the style and aesthetics of the 50's, and the building has an important supporting actor role.
Although its swooping forms amount to a three-dimensional transcription of "Come Fly With Me," the building's days as a functioning terminal were numbered in 2001 with the collapse of T.W.A. and W.T.C.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was for many years open to ideas that would transform and redevelop the brilliant architectural wonder "anything else that can be imagined by a redeveloper," said its aviation director, William R. DeCota. Proposals ranged from a restaurant, a lounge, a spa, a shopping mall, a conference center, a art museum, a Theater, a Botanical Garden, a Sculpture court, a huge office
space, a swimmingpool, a dance club and concert space.
ART IN TERMINAL 5An example of a proposal that was a temporary installation of the building was the exhibition, ''Terminal 5.'' It was the brainchild of Rachel K. Ward, a independent curator with a penchant for placing art in
spectacular, if unlikely, locales. One of her last project was installed in a man-made ice cave atop the Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps. The terminal project, Ms. Ward explained, ''was inspired by seeing this enormous, gorgeous landmark sitting here unused and by the desire to make it accessible to the general public.''
With the expansive sculptural forms and cool interiors, the Saarinen terminal has the feeling of the Wright's Guggenheim Museum and embody a stirring midcentury optimism about the future. But both were overtaken by it: over time, neither has proved entirely suited to its purpose. The Guggenheim's alcoves couldn't comfortably contain the vast canvases of the early 1960's; Terminal 5 could not effectively accommodate the massive flying buses of the new jet age.
For Ms. Ward, this blend of utopianism and pathos made the terminal particularly appealing as a venue for an exhibition dealing with transience, travel and the challenges of modernity. So she secured permission from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, then commissioned 20 artists to create site-specific installations. Much of the best work cleverly used the existing architecture. Jenny Holzer displayed her enigmatic text messages on the arrivals and departures board. The Japanese sound artist Ryoji Ikeda transformed one of the long tunnel walkways into a minimalist sound-and-light installation; the New York-based artist Tom Sachs turned the other one into a skateboard ramp, creating what he described as an airport-scale fallopian tube.
Several pieces evoke the lost glamour of air travel. In the entryway, Daniel Ruggiero of Switzerland has rolled out a portable red carpet to the accompaniment of the flashing cameras of invisible paparazzi, courtesy of the New York artist Ken Courtney. Conspicuously few works addressed the current reality of airport security and surveillance; those that did, like Kendell Geers's ''Security Blanket,'' made of gleaming industrial-strength padlocks, was rather oblique.
"...a building in which the architecture itself would express the drama and specialness and excitement of travel... a place of movement and transition... The shapes were deliberately chosen in order to emphasize an upward-soaring quality of line. We wanted an uplift."
Saarinen, who died during the six-year construction of the terminal, also said in 1956, when the project began;
"All the curves, all the spaces and elements were to be of a matching nature. We wanted passengers passing through the building to experience a fully-designed environment, in which each part arises from another and everything belongs to the same formal world."
Hitler's Airport is Closing
The crescent-shaped Tempelhof Airport in Berlin, one of the few examples of Nazi-era architecture that still exists — and described by the British architect Norman Foster as the "mother of all airports" — is scheduled to close in the fall.
The airport — with its symmetrical lines and vaulted ceilings — was redesigned by Ernst Sagebiel in the late 1930s to inspire awe from arriving visitors. The airport's closing will tuck away nearly 100 years of history that include Orville Wright flight demonstrations, Nazi rallies and the Berlin Airlift, which transformed Tempelhof from a symbol of repression into one of freedom. Tempelhof's present phase — a hub for budget airlines — will be its last. It will close to make way for the expansion of the Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport, a former military base, into Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport.
So Remember; Soft irregular lines is the future and Straight symmetrical lines is the past.

|Related debuff
Bane of Doom (formerly Curse of Doom), or BoD for short, is a warlock Affliction spell that tags a target to be hit with Shadow damage every 15 seconds over the duration of one minute. Each tick has a 20% chance of summoning a Demon Guardian.
Talent improvement Edit
It has been suggested that Shadow Mastery does not improve this spell.[citation needed]
- Impending Doom increases the chance that a Demon Guardian will spawn by 10% each rank, up to 50%.
- Doom and Gloom increases the crit chance by 4% per rank, up to 8%.
- Pandemic reduces the Global Cooldown on all bane and curse spells by .25 seconds per rank .
History Edit
Prior to Patch 4.0.1, Bane of Doom was Curse of Doom. Curse of Doom lasted for 60 seconds and dealt one large hit of damage at the end of its duration when there was a minor chance that a Doomguard would be summoned.
The summoned Doomguard would be hostile to everyone and could attack the player as well (could be controlled using the [Enslave Demon] ability though).[citation needed]

Dan Sultana from Motor City Blog made the trip up to the Traverse City Comedy Festival and got some great photos including the one above. Check out lots more in his Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival slideshow!
Festival blogger Beth Milligan has a nice wrapup of the Comedy Festival, where she notes:
When I was interviewing Jeff (Garlin) on Saturday, he dropped maybe the most exciting news about next year's festival possible: "We're going to start on Thursday and end on Saturday," he announced. At the time, I didn't actually realize this was exciting news, but by the end of yesterday, I was overjoyed at the prospect.
We've got all the blog posts, tweets and photos archived over at the 2010 Traverse City Comedy Festival page on Absolute Michigan. When they post some video, we'll add that too!
Speaking of video, here's the winner of the Comedy Shorts Competition, Wolverine's Claws Suck by Lou & Greg (which beat out Wheelchair Werewolf). It's rated gory for Wolverine claws and has some swearing (again, Wolverine claws):

Here in Kansas, deer season can result in some pretty tasty venison, if you happen to know someone who hunts. Luckily, we do. While Chris grew up eating venison (although mostly in summer sausage or chili form), I came to venison eating later in life and quite enjoy it. As with any game meat, it can vary in flavor and intensity depending on the specific animal, but the meat we used for this recipe was quite mild. If you're sensitive to gamy flavors, you have a couple of options. You can either try to cover up the meat flavor with spices, at which point you might as well just skip the venison and use beef, or you can use intensely savory flavors for the sauce (as we did here) that actually pair well with a slightly gamy flavor. The seasoning options presented here are only a guideline-take this any direction that suits you. They would play equally well as a Swedish meatball, or as a standard red-checkered tablecloth spaghetti and meatball.
2 lbs ground venison
1 lb ground pork (80% lean)
3/4-1 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
2/3 cup parmesan (in the can, yes I know. Shameful, but it's the best for meatballs. I've tried putting the good stuff in there instead, but it just doesn't work as well. Must be the cellulose).
1 tbsp Italian seasoning (use your favorite-we used a bread dipping mix I grabbed at a local spice shop)
1 tbsp steak seasoning or season salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients by hand until well mixed. If the mixture is too sticky, add more breadcrumbs until the meat mixture sticks to itself, not to you. On an oiled baking sheet, roll out your desired size of meatball. I like the 2-3 tbsp size range, so I ended up with about 50 meatballs from this mixture. Bake for 25 minutes. At this point you can either use them in a dish, or cool, then stash in a freezer safe bag until you have a hankering for more venison.
For the red wine mushroom sauce in the picture, I'm afraid I don't have an exact recipe for it, but I can provide some general guidelines. We used our standard roux based sauce method, where we make a roux, when it starts to darken, add the veggies (onion and mushrooms here). Sauté off for a few minutes, then deglaze with some booze (we started with marsala, but ran out. oops). 2-3 cups of mixed meat broth then goes in, along with garlic, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. We let it simmer covered for a few minutes to let the mushrooms give up their juice, and then added some Shiraz we had open (along with a shot of brandy, because at this point, why not?). Meatballs went in, and we simmered it for another few minutes to warm the meatballs up again, and to let that flavor mix with the sauce a bit. I wasn't really keeping track of the amounts of anything we used, but that's the joy of cooking for fun.

I used the files that were supplied with this course and learned a lot!
Really loved learning the technique to create a mirrored water view from a beautiful sky, as well as all of the good painting techniques that as an amateur, I would have overlooked. I've tried combining photos before and now know why so many didn't look realistic. Loved masking out the edges of the boat into the water!
Here's a copy of my full colour version, which I really liked, but I'm really glad to have learned about the B&W overlay, bringing in the colour and creating more dramatic shadows
Note: I have updated photos from feedback re: boat shadow that you provided . . . could you comment and tell me things that should still be improved? I love learning - thank you!
I kept the levels adjustment on for this full colour photo but left off the b&w background. Like the effect!
Thank you for a great class!

Letná Parks (Letenské sady)
This extensive park with grassy areas, mature trees, a colorful assortment of bushes planted on the hillsides, and a long plane tree-lined avenue provides not only a pleasant to sit and relax, but also unparalleled views of the city, especially from the Hanavský Pavilion - a unique cast-iron building with a restaurant. In the park you can spend your free time participating in sports, walking, picnicking or relaxing in the summer garden restaurant in the Letná chateau in its eastern part.

Object history
The parks between the Edvard Beneš Embankment and the Letná Plain were among the first public parks of a promenade nature. They spread on 25 ha. In the past, they used to be called the Letná Hill, which means a hill facing the summer, i.e. the Southern side. As the Chotek's Park has already been connected with the Royal Garden, there was now a chance to walk from the lower part of Holešovice via a green park all the way to Prague Castle and then on past Strahov, Petřín, and all the way to Smíchov. There used to be vineyards on the Letná slope, and the Letná Plain was often used as an army camp. In 1635, a chapel of St. Mary Magdalene was built at the foot of the hill, and it was transferred to its present-day location in relation with the traffic modifications at the end of the Čech's Bridge in the 50s. In 1716, Count Valdštejn built a chateau here, which he called Belvedér. The French armies blasted it away during their withdrawal in 1742. The name Belvedér was then incorrectly transferred to the Queen Anne's Summer House at Prague Castle. After the death of the owner of most of the land plots, Jakub Wimmer, the Letná plains began to become desolate. From the 1860s on, the City of Prague began buying out the land plots in order to establish a public park. The park was established according to a project of artistic gardener Bedřich Wünscher and Jiří Braul. The modifications culminated by building a new-Renaissance restaurant according to an architect Vojtěch Ullmann in 1863. Today, the restaurant is named Belcredi, after Count Richard Belcredi, a governor in Bohemia form 1864 on, after whom a street was named, today the Milada Horáková's Avenue. The building is called Letná Chateau. Not far away in the direction of the National Technical Museum, there is an interesting curiosity - an old carousel with wooden horses in a decoratively carved wooden pavilion. The horses are overlaid with genuine horse skin with no seams from heads to hooves. There are four cars and twenty one horses on the carousel. It was brought here from Královské Vinohrady from the coaching inn Na Kravíně in 1894. It was functional without major repairs until 1995, when it was partially restored. In 2004, the National Technical Museum purchased it to include it in its collections, and a general reconstruction is planned.
At the end of the 1880s, further park modifications were performed in accordance with a project of František Thomayer. The second Prague's cableway was built opposite today's Revoluční Avenue on the occasion of the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891, from which it was possible to change for Křižík's electrical line up on the hill, which went from here to the exhibition grounds. The cableway was in operation until the World War I, and after the war it was transformed into moving staircase, which stopped moving at the end of the 30s. In 1892, a decorative pavilion promoting foundries and ironworks in Komárov near Hořovice was transferred to the Letná Park from the Exhibition Ground. The pavilion was a donation of Count Vilém of Hanau, the owner of the foundries and the surrounding manors, to the City of Prague (hence the name Hanavský). Above the Chotek road, on one of the bastions of the Baroque fortifications, a spectacular villa in new-Baroque style was built in 1911 by a parliament member and the first prime minister of the Czechoslovak Government JUDr. Karel Kramář. It is not open for public, as it serves the needs of the government.
In 1953, the square Letenské náměstí was connected with the embankment via the Letná tunnel. In the same year, a construction of a monumental Stalin Memorial began on the hill opposite the Pařížská Avenue. The memorial's authors were sculptor Otakar Švec and architect Jiří and Vlasta Štursa. The memorial was blasted off in November 1962.
Instead of the memorial, there is now a huge metronome on the platform. This pendulum was manufactured by the company ČKD Racionalizace in the early 1990s, upon an order from the Association for the Czechoslovak General Exhibition. The author is Vratislav Karel Novák, a professor of the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. The metronome first started to move on the 15th May 1991. It is nearly 25 metres high and weighs 7 tons. The installation could not be performed by a land technology, due to fears from disturbed statics of the platform after blasting off the Stalin Memorial, and it was therefore settled in place by a giant helicopter. Underneath the former Stalin Memorial, there is an extensive space of 10,000 m2, unused as for now. A restaurant from the Expo 58 exhibition in Brussels was brought to Prague after the exhibition and in 1960 it was installed in the hill behind the Štefánik's Bridge. The pavilion was used as an exclusive Expo 58 Restaurant until 1992. Then the restaurant closed and the object started to dilapidate. There was a reconstruction in the years 2000 - 2001, and now the pavilion is used by a private company. Regarding trees, the poplars, willows, plum trees and spruce trees are dominant in the park, and especially the mighty sycamore trees are remarkable.
In April 2003, over 70 new trees were planted in the Letná Park. Behind the former Stalin Memorial, there are decorative apple trees from the dendrology collections in Průhonice, and a beech alley was planted nearby the apple trees.

It's been nearly a year since I read The Great Gatsby for my AP Literature class. Off hand, I couldn't tell you now the last name of the narrator, all of the major themes, or the motifs, but there is one scene that I can still remember very clearly (and I hope I'm not spoiling this for anyone. If I am, skip to the next paragraph): Jay Gatsby's funeral. Nick, the narrator of the story, is desperate to have at least some of Gatsby's "friends" come to the funeral. However, no one is available to come. One person has a picnic, another is on vacation, and the hundreds that "flocked" to his house every Saturday for his parties are suddenly too busy to even bid farewell to the man who hosted them year-round. In the end, the only people at the funeral are Nick, Gatsby's father, and the minister who is performing the service.
In many ways, people would consider Gatsby's life a wasted one. He spent his life chasing someone who wasn't even worthy of his love and, in the end, there was no one who cared whether he was dead or alive.
The topic of wasting one's life is not an uncommon one when it comes to teens. It seems like everyone is telling teens to "not waste your life" because "time goes faster than you would think." There have been plenty of books published on the topic, from Don't Waste Your Life (an appropriate title) by John Piper to Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris. However, I think it's something that we as teens continually miss.
The fact of the matter is, we only have so long on earth. Before we know it, our teen years are over and we're in our twenties, then our thirties, then suddenly we're middle aged, and then we're old! We don't even have the guarantee of out-living our teens. Every second, every minute, every day is a gift and it's important that we put our gift of life to good use.
When teens hear the words, "Don't waste your life," though, I think that there is a temptation for them to think that the only way they can not waste their lives is by solving world hunger or by starting some organization that saves the lives of a million children in Africa — and that's great! If that's what you feel God is calling you to do in your life and that's the purpose He's given you, then go for it! However, I think in many ways, God is calling us to a different purpose in life – perhaps not something quite as glamorous as solving world hunger, but something equally important to Him.
I think the first step in not wasting your life is simply not wasting your time. I'd encourage you to reevaluate how you spend your time. Do you spend more time on Facebook or meditation of God's word? In your free time, are you distracted by all the things you want to do, more than how you can serve your family? This is an area where I always seem to fall short. However, I think if we truly have a desire to live our lives for God's glory, we will want to spend every moment that we have working to fulfill His purpose in our lives instead of wasting our time on pointless things that are fading away.

(Formerly listed as:
(Formerly listed as:
Caröe Court, formerly the Church of St Michael. 1901 by W D Caröe. Declared redundant in 1982 and subsequently converted into flats. MATERIALS: Red brick laid in English bond with stone dressings and tiled roofs. PLAN: The orientation of the building is unconventional as the building is aligned north-south with the chancel to the north. Roughly rectangular but with projections to the chancel and west aisle. Nave with aisles, narthex to south elevation, south-west bell tower, chancel and chancel tower, projecting sanctuary beyond. Vestries to the north-east.
EXTERIOR: Highly individualistic Arts and Crafts Gothic style with bold, unusual massing. The principal façade is to the south onto Bury Street. This elevation is dominated by a nine-light window with stone and brick mullions, set within a massive arch. There is a lunette in the gable above. An off-centre narthex below the main window has unequal buttresses to either side. There is a slender bell tower at the SW corner with a pyramidal roof and diagonal buttresses at belfry level. The bell chamber is set-back with twin bell openings, above which is a blind decorative frieze in stone. A quatrefoil window below lights the internal stair. To the east of the main window is a massive stepped buttress with a gabled cap, adjacent to which is a low corner turret and clasping buttress.
The buttressed west elevation has three-light windows recessed behind blind arcading; some of these have been lowered to form doors. There is a pseudo-clerestory above of dormer windows. The squat chancel tower has a single stage above the nave roof and projecting turrets and small roofs below eaves level. The parapetted east wall of the chancel projects beyond the building line at the NE corner of the church.
INTERIOR: Not inspected as the building has been converted to flats, although photographs prior to its conversion show a simple yet bold interior with a broad nave flanked by very narrow aisles. Architectural details such as the aisle columns and door jambs are picked out in stone, contrasting with the plain plastered walls. Hammer-beam roof. Rood screen moved to Church of St Alban, Ilford.
HISTORY: At the end of the 19th century the church site had been occupied by a small Mission Church and school and it is presumed that St Michael's was constructed to provide larger and more suitable accommodation for a rapidly expanding Lower Edmonton at the beginning of the C20. It was funded by the sale of St Michael Bassishaw in the City of London. As built it had a vicarage to the west (now converted to flats). The former school was converted into the church hall (now 'Maton Hall'). In 1985 original drawings were said to be held by the architectural practice of Caröe and Martin. St Michael's was declared redundant in 1982 and was subsequently sold and converted into flats.
SOURCES: Internal and external photographs of 1969 held by the National Monuments Record (reference AA80/565-576); English Heritage Historians' files
Detailed description for the Council for Places of Worship, 13 March 1979 (reference PM 364, DIF/LP; Pevsner, The Buildings of England, LOndon 4: North, p424.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: A striking example of a church by W D Caröe, one of the leading church architects of the late C19 and early C20. The conversion into flats has not unduly altered the building's exterior, which continues to make a positive contribution to the surrounding streetscape. Group value with the former clergy house (qv).

So first things first, this is C3, which is the Art Asylum building bricks that they created to make vehicles the first time they tried their hand at DC Comics minimates. Then as now, the bricks didn't feel as solid or strong as Lego bricks, but that's a complaint that can be leveled at almost all brick building sets.
In this particular instance though, it's a real problem. You see, the larger plates have a tendency to warp a little, so trying to stack a plate on top of another plate results in frustration as one corner keeps popping up, no matter how hard you try to flatten it or make it stick to the plate underneath. Which wouldn't normally be a problem except that this ring build requires you to place four plates on top of four other plates and the end result was I just removed an entire layer of plates from the build to get the bricks to stay attached to one another. So the base isn't as solid as it should be.
Actually, nothing sticks to the plates very well. Those steps keep feeling like they're about to pop off on their own.
And that's my main problem with this set. The bricks don't feel solid once you connect them. They feel flimsy, like they'll break apart if you just leave them there. The final build doesn't feel strong. This could also be an issue with how the build is constructed, the placement of bricks doesn't feel like they're forming a strong foundation to build off of.
On the bright side, once it's all put together, it looks nice, even if I have ignored using the provided cardboard bunting for the ring. It's just too branded for my tastes.
The minifigures are very basic. They lack the iconic look of Lego minifigures, or the Lego feeling of solid plastic. They're more like Mega Blok figures, but with a surprising amount of articulation. Even so, I've ignored most of these in favor of using minimates. (The first waves of DC Minimates came with C3 sets, so their feet were designed to plug into building bricks. Since that time all minimates have what are called "C3 feet" which means they can be plugged into any traditionally designed building brick.)

Two things about my last post:
Drake and Josh are definitely funnier when it is not a holiday. Brooke and I have started to watch the movie and I fell asleep. :-) Well, I can't blame it all on Drake and Josh; I have only had about 8 hours of sleep the last few days - combined!
Baby J got even sicker. Saturday I could not keep his fever down so the rest of the family went to celebrate my father-in-law's 85th birthday, and Baby J and I stayed home. (shucks . . .)
I had plans. While Baby J slept I was going to clean. He didn't sleep, nor did I clean. After a 103.8 reading 2 hours after Tylenol, I decided to hit the Urgent Care. By the time they saw Baby J his fever was 105! Then the nurses could understand why he was screaming so obnoxiously in the waiting room for the past hour! I wanted to go let the other people know why he was being so loud and annoying, but I really didn't care what they thought at this point.
So, they gave him a big dose of Tylenol and made us go wait another half hour in the waiting room. Then they call your name, but alas, it is a trick! They call just to put you in a room to wait again.
So, after all was said and done, Baby J's fever dropped to an acceptable 101.9 and he was diagnosed with a double ear infection. I have always been a little suspect that some doctors find an ear infection for a child who seems really sick, but just has a cold. But I saw the ears - they weren't pretty. Not sure what they should look like in there, but what I saw wasn't it.
Baby J is still really sick, and I need to hit the hay. He should be waking up very soon. :-)
~Susan, who will sleep next year.

This is an old favourite of mine. Still I realize so many clients still struggling setting an organization and process for just a simple thing; Communication. Do we ever learn to be truly collaborative within our internal organizations? Not being that at first, how would we cope with the next challenge, approaching by very high speed: the external and social dimension in collaboration?
While New Business sales focus on signing the potential customer as quickly as possible, key account management's target is to expand existing customer engagements. How can you combine these two opposite momentums for better profitability?
When first finding a potential customer, obviously they have got some type of need or problem. The qualification process evaluates type of need, when the business may take place, if there is a budget, our type of solution to their problem, if we may identify decision makers and so on. If all goes well sales management keep pace pressure on to close the deal in line with defined KPI's so the sales rep can start focus on the next opportunity.
Hold on for a sec. Two questions;
- Was it the right customer need the sales rep went for?
- Didn't the potential customer have more than the initially identified need?
The point is if there was…

Its me.
Are you still out there? I haven't posted much this month and I'm feeling a tad guilty about it.
While I very seldomly talk about life in one full post there are always little snippets of my world I try to incorporate, but today, I thought maybe I should share some wonderful news with you and a bit of background leading up to it.
You may not know that I have been a stay at home mom for the last 2 years.
I had worked like a dog for most of my short life, always trying to go that extra mile for everyone, no matter what the circumstances or situations were - especially my job. I was married to it, I loved it, I enjoyed meeting new people, working with my clients and traveling for it as well, not to mention always trying to go the extra distance for my bosses. Then one day I woke up and my life as I knew it was changing. And it wasn't for the good, or so I thought!
I like to think it was an act of God, intervening in my crazy life by striking me with some anxiety issues forcing me to re evaluate my career path, my choices, the way I thought and acted because of my thoughts. I can only now appreciate this.
My body was full of stress and apparently it felt it was time to jump off a cliff, forcing me to recoup. Seems now, looking back, I can understand how and why it happened but at the time all I could think was "what the heck is going on, am I going crazy, I want my life back" GO AWAY.
I am sure those of you who suffer from any form of anxiety or panic would completely agree when I say that it is the most disturbing thing in the world to go from what we deem is our "norm" to feeling helpless and not in control. And I'm a control freak - I can admit it.
What did I do? I cried, a lot, I worried, abundantly, I sought out a councillor to help me understand why and how this happened, and I spent my time in the kitchen.
I've always used the kitchen as my crutch, even when I was younger. Mad, bake cookies, upset, make a cake. Therapy with a happy reward :)
This brings me to my new adventure, a new chapter in my life. Something I hope will continue because it encompasses not only my love of creating and baking but a sort of therapy without the huge bill at the end and I am happy, truly happy to have the opportunity.
I've been interning at a local cake shop 2 days a week!!!
How perfect right? Mad, bake cookies, upset, make cupcakes!
Its this quaint little nook of a storefront with an antiquey charm, a seating area by a cozy fireplace with a tv that shows.....cooking shows! HEAVEN!
Best part of it all?
My boss, Karey. She's wonderful. Caring, trusting, appreciative and her passion for what she does is inspiring. Her cakes are works of art and I wanted to learn from her.
I'm sure she thought I was crazy offering to volunteer at her new store but for me, it was so much more.
Not only can I do something I love to do, get myself out of the house and interact socially more than the norm and learn some new things but I could do something for her. I saw my parents start a business many years ago and work feverishly just the two of them, but when they found someone to help them out a few hours a week it seemed to change them, and that's what I wanted to give to her. A sense of stress release, even if its just a few days a week.
I hope this relationship grows into beautiful pastiage flowers!!
So, I don't need wishes of luck or sympathy for what I have gone through, after soul searching and kitchen creating I am happy with my choices now and only have the future to look forward to - one that allows me to do something for myself, have more time for my family, keep my sanity and hopefully help others! It;s funny how life can seem to be the way you want it to be until a wrench is thrown into the mix and only then do you realize you have so much more out there!
On that note, I'm making cupcakes as part of a R&D project so that'll be my next post, stay tuned :)

artist statement
As an artist and as a human being, I seek to explore the transmutation of matter and mind for the benefit of all. Therefore, I am interested in contemplative art practices that focus on a variety of subjects such as ordinary perception and awareness, interconnectedness, impermanence, equanimity, non-duality and the wonder of natural history. With this approach, I seek to research and experiment with meditative states and visual spaces that are free from suffering, thus offering a path to an enlightened manner of experiencing the world around us.
With the use of found and natural materials (acknowledging our deep connection to our environment), humor (light and open approach to life), simplicity (less is more) and a heightened attention to process (i.e. grinding charcoal in a stone to make ink for calligraphy), I seek to engage the world in a curious, spacious, and open manner. Ultimately, my contemplative art practice is an ongoing attempt to see things as they are and to work with things as they are. Or, it may challenge me to ask a popular Zen question (or koan) such as, "What is this?"

MONDAY's CHILD…
DOB: 31 Jul 1886
Youngest son of William Truman "W.T." Haynes and Carrie E. (Cleveland) Haynes
DOD: 20 Jan 1974
by Tom Chapin (Corry Journal, 9/12/1997)
UNION CITY – The Parade Street United Methodist Church will celebrate its 125th anniversary Sunday with worship services, historical displays and get-togethers with current and former members of the congregation.
For the Rev. Dayton D. Mix, the celebration should be a starting poi nt for the church's next 125 years and beyond.
He told The Journal that from behind and away from the pulpit, he has challenged the congregation and the church council to look to the new horizon.
"If we come to Sunday, and all we can do is talk about what has happened and past greatness," he said, "then all we have is a eulogy."
"For this to be an anniversary celebration," Rev. Mix continued, "it requires that we also be looking towards the future and what God may be leading us into over the next 125 years."
Rev. Mix said after prayer and reflection, the congregation and the church council hopes to understand this new direction by January. Of course, he said, even then they might have to keep looking for the broader picture.
"We're not going to limit God into where He can take us," he said.
This look into the future continues the church's overall mission which began in Kimball Hill, two miles northwest of Union City, as the United Brethren in Christ of Union City, Pa., with Rev. W.R. Allen as the pastor.
A short time later, the church moved into Union City and held services in the Presbyterian Church on West High Street.
The church moved to its present site on Parade Street in 1876. Although most of its exterior has been renovated, the building is original, Rev. Mix said.
Indoor renovations have been made throughout the church's history. A parsonage was built next door between 1877 and 1893, during the pastorate of Rev. Edward Smith. A vestibule, two Sunday school rooms and a balcony and towers were dedicated in August 1919 by Bishop William Bell. Downstairs classrooms were also built in 1952.
In 1946, the United Brethren denomination joined with the Evangelicals, forming the Evangelical United Brethren. Later, that group merged with the Methodists.
Rev. Mix explained that many of the EUB churches chose the name Evangelical United Methodist. As for his parish, it chose to name itself for the street it was on, Parade Street.
The former Union City High School once stood where the church now has its parking lot.
When the church purchased the building from the Union City School District Board of Education in 1965, part of the deal was demolishing the former high school.
Many of the bricks from the former school were used on the outside of Thomas Grocery, which is across the street, Rev. Mix said.
Maintenance and renovation projects have marked most of the church's last quarter-century, Rev. Mix explained.
The bell towers were renovated, Rev. Mix said, because bricks in the towers would break loose and fall.
The church has also entered the musical MIDI age, with a new organ and electronic baby grand piano, which contains numerous sounds other than those created by the conventional 88-keyed piano.
At times, Rev. Mix's wife Gay, who teaches in the Corry Area School District, provides music for services.
The last 25 years of the Parade Street United Methodist Church has also embraced numerous outreach programs, such as involvement with area groups such as Horizon House, the Salvation Army, area food banks and WCTL, a Christian radio station which originates in Union City. Programs for youth have included a summer lunch program and after-school activities.
The church also hosts its own missionary conference, a smaller-scale version to one hosted by Corry's two United Methodist churches.
Another addition in the church's last 25 years of history has been the arrival of Rev. Mix as the church's 29th pastor.
Before assuming his duties on July 1, 1996, Rev. Mix came to Corry as the youth director for the Evangelical United Methodist Church of Corry.
In addition to pastoring the Parade Street United Methodist Church, Rev. Mix is also the pastor of the Spartansburg United Methodist Church.
Two separate congregations, Rev. Mix said, who "just happen to have the same guy."
This Sunday's celebration will consist of business-as-usual, as well as some special highlights.
At 11 a.m., Rev. Mix will welcome several new members to the congregation, followed by a church family dinner at 12:30 p.m.
Historical displays and photos will be featured at 1:30 p.m., and the Erstwhile Sunday School Class Reunion will be held at 2 p.m.
The main celebration will kick off at 3 p.m., with guest the Rev. Lawrence Lyman, son of former pastor the Rev. Harold Lyman.
Other highlights of the celebration will include special music, communion, a historical review, a time of testimony, a service of rededication and the debut of the Parade Street United Methodist Church Choir.
The day will conclude with a reception.

I'm a passionate idealist, and proud of it.
I've always been risking it all to have it all: my freedom, my creativity, the bank balance, the travel, the perfect lifestyle. Why? Passion — that juicy feeling that makes everything worthwhile.
Passion is that magic carpet that sweeps us off our feet and carries us far beyond our dreams so swiftly, we don't even notice time passing anymore.
I've always been afraid of waking up one day and having passion disappear like a fleeting dream amidst the reality of everyday life. So many people say to me: We don't know where it went, and we don't even know where to start looking for it.
Do you have to quit your job and chase your dream just to live a life of meaning and fulfilment? How do we find passion and creativity in our lives without risking it all? Can't we just have it all?
Good news: You don't have to risk it all.
But if we don't have passion in our lives, we risk losing the most important thing of all: feeling fulfilled as a human being.
I've taken the risks, so you don't have to. Here are 10 steps you can start taking every single day to cultivate more passion in your own life, starting today. Pick one, or do them all.
- Do less: Make space and time to play and discover yourself. Pull out your agenda and identify 2–3 blocks of time in your week to do nothing, with no one but you. Don't schedule a grocery run, a workout, or a chat with your friend in this time. Just spend some time alone, in a peaceful environment, write or draw or simply let all your ignored thoughts flood freely through your mind, without judgement or editing. When you make this a regular habit, you'll start to learn more about yourself and what your passion is, spontaneously.
- Do more: Creativity comes from uncertainty, productivity comes from clarity. Not knowing the answer to a question is the best opportunity for creativity, because everything is still possible in the unknown. As soon as you start to find clarity, you start to focus and eliminate possibilities, which makes you more productive, but also less creative. So the next time you face uncertainty, see it as an opportunity for adventure and exploration. Make the most of the time you spend not knowing the answer, and use it to explore any and every possibility without worrying about practicality. You can always figure out how to change a possibility into a probability afterwards.
- Embrace discomfort: too much convenience creates stagnation. As humans, we constantly strive for more comfort and convenience in our lives, and this desire to depart from discomfort elicits a heartfelt effort to find innovative solutions to make things easier. But when everything becomes too convenient and comfortable, we fall into a routine, we stop being challenged, and we turn into zombies. Find at least 5 things in your daily life that are making you too comfortable, and challenge yourself to change something. Go to a different gym or grocery store, meet a new group of people, take a different route to work, or put one entire month's pay check into your savings and pretend you have zero money to spend, if you dare.
- Your passion might not be a thing but a process. Most people don't think deeply enough about what makes them passionate, to realise that most of the time, it's not the thing but the process of discovery, of delight, of actually uncovering something previously unknown, that raises our pulse and gets our blood rushing. Each time you start to feel excited about something — an idea, a project, a conversation topic, an interaction — make a note on your phone or notebook about the key elements — who's it with, what's it about, what time of day, and what mental and emotional resources are you using at the time? Over time, you might start to realise that you feel passionate when you're in a certain state of being, and not necessarily about the same subject.
- Your passion might stem from your frustration. Often, we get really passionate about something that we are missing in our lives, a previous experience that left a deep feeling of inadequacy or injustice within us. It makes us want to stand up and do something. To uncover these deep-rooted passions, we have to dive into some of our most uncomfortable feelings, but the reward is often the ability to identify a passion that can give you a clear sense of focus about what you really want to do with your life. Use a daily journal to explore some of your most hidden feelings of anger, sadness, fear, pain and frustration, and allow them to guide you. They're there for good reason.
- You might have more than one passion. And you may not be able to choose. Often, a deep or practical need helps us to create focus and make a choice. But the luxury of options can lead to confusion about what to pursue. Make a list of everything you'd love to do, and then rewrite the list in order of priority. Ask yourself: If you only ever did #1–3 on this list before you die, would you be content? Rearrange your list until your answer is yes. Now you have a starting point.
- Treat your passion like your secret lover. Everyone is following their passion into entrepreneurship or digital nomading these days. It's hard not to feel like you're missing out if you don't join them. But what most people don't tell you is that when they start doing what they love every single day, they stop loving it as much because it goes from being their joy to their job. So abandon the idea that your passion has to lead to a career change, and just do it for pure love — treat it like your secret lover — something only for you to enjoy, free of any practicalities, obligations and daily drudgery.
- Don't chase the outcome, just enjoy the ride. A dog wouldn't know what to do with a car if he caught one. The fun is in running after it anyway. So often, we feel like we have to know how things will turn out before we begin at all, which takes us out of the present and into a future we can't predict, creating anxiety and fear that paralyses us, and before we know it, we've lost the heat of a moment altogether. Chuck it. Don't think about the outcome. Just do what you love with abandon. Enjoy how you feel in the present moment, notice every detail, feel every sensory experience like it could be the last time. Stay in that flow, and it will amplify your passion with every passing moment.
- Don't wear your passion out. Cherish it. Once you find what you love doing, it's sometimes hard not to do more and more of it. As with most things, overdose leads to death — and it certainly applies to passion. Maintain a healthy relationship with your passion, give it the right space in your life, and don't overdo it. Allow time in between to savour its effect on the rest of your life, and how much more energy and vigour it brings to the more mundane activities in your life. Let it remain a bright and light part of your life, and don't smother it.
- Reinvent your passion. Have you had the same favourite food all your life? Our tastes change, we grow and evolve, and what once excited us may not be enough anymore. Keep an open mind to new experiences that might lead us to new, uncharted territory within ourselves. Don't be limited by what life has thrown your way in the past. Try a new activity once every month or two. Try it 2–3 times. Give yourself a chance to come into contact with your emotions while you're doing it. You might just discover a whole new passion to focus on.
I know it can be scary to even confront your passion, let alone facing and embracing uncertainty. That's why it's my mission to help people who want to infuse passion and creativity back into their lives by lending them my courage and a bit of my experience.

Pie Society! YUM YES PLEASE, who doesn't love pie, and even better when you share it with others!? Although Im not talking about freshly baked pie per-say, this slice of pie keeps going and going.
This logo concept came to me from the Waco Foundation as they are working on a new planned giving campaign to generate public awareness for a transfer of wealth opportunity in McLennan County. With the tagline, "Thank you for sharing a slice of your pie," their campaign is geared towards showing how MUCH impact can be made with sharing JUST 5% of your estate with charity. Waco Foundation wanted to play off of the pie theme, because it is so much more fun to talk about pie rather than death, dying or diverting assets. The whole pie represents an individual's accumulated wealth during their lifetime and the small offset slice represents the slice shared for charitable causes. Therefore I needed to come up with a logo that summed up this campaign, "sharing a slice of your pie."
As you can see I sketched a lot and for a while. I thought this logo would be fairly easy to create and stream line, but for some reason that just wasn't the case. As I have learned, and am still learning, "simple" and "clean" takes a lot of creativity, effort, and even starting over if need be (which I did a couple of times). I ended up showing the client more "concepts" than I usually do because I wanted to get their feedback on a couple ideas swimming around in my head. Luckily, a concept was chosen on the spot from two ideas, so I was able to move forward in the refining process by combining both into one final logo, YAY!
In hindsight, I suppose enjoying some fresh baked pie while sketching might have helped the process along, eatable inspiration, oh well. You can check out their video on sharing your 5% here.
CLIENT STORY : Slice up the Pie
Pie Society! YUM YES PLEASE, who doesn't love pie, and even better when you share it with others!? Although Im not talking about freshly baked pie per-say, this slice of pie keeps going and going.

A gain of 25%... 50%... even more than 100% in a single trading day?
It's rare. But it does happen.
Take Dendreon Corp. (Nasdaq: DNDN), for example. Dendreon has a new drug called Provenge that taps into the immune system to fight prostate cancer. A single course of treatment costs $93,000.
You read that correctly. It's $93,000 for just one cycle of one drug. Between March 2009 and April 2010 -- during which Provenge was going through late rounds of trials -- Dendreon's shares rose 1,764%.
On just one day -- April 14, 2009 -- Dendreon's stock shot up 132%. And it almost doubled again two weeks later on April 29, 2009, when the shares made another one-day jump of 94%.
Shares of biotechnology company Clinical Data (Nasdaq: CLDA) rose 68% on January 24, 2011, following news the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its antidepressant drug.
And then there's XenoPort (Nasdaq: XNPT), whose shares soared 56% on April 7 of this year, after the biopharmaceutical company got the nod from the FDA for its treatment of restless leg syndrome.
It's easy to see that when major medical breakthroughs occur, the benefit can be two-fold -- not only do patients get help for life-altering illnesses, but investors can also earn overnight profits.
And I don't know if there is anywhere the opportunity is more pronounced than in the field of treating cancer.
The American Cancer Society estimates that one in two American men and one in four American women will be diagnosed with some sort of cancer in their lifetimes. More than 500,000 Americans will succumb to the disease this year alone, equal to roughly one-third of the 1.5 million new cases expected to be diagnosed in 2011.
But it wasn't that long ago that a diagnosis of cancer was an automatic death sentence, and a terribly painful one at that. Now, a generation later, many types of cancer are curable and others are manageable. New drugs and treatments will take cancer from a killer disease to a chronic condition within my lifetime.
This means there will be companies along the way that profit from creating the drugs that beat cancer.
This is all well and good, but what's the best way for the average investor to find the next quick gainer that will soar from the fight against cancer?
First, forget the household names. It may well be the case that the next miracle drug will come from Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT) or Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) -- and more power to them.
But from an investing standpoint, we have to respect the law of large numbers. That is, a blockbuster drug matters a lot more to the share price of a $500 million company than a $50 billion company.
The challenge for investors, then, is knowing where to look for small companies with promise, and what to look for.
I've been doing a lot research into this area. I've found a total of 39 companies with cancer drugs in phase III of trials -- this is the step before FDA approval. When a drug passes phase III trials, it is given a pretty good chance (80%) of being approved by the FDA. It was Provenge's passage of phase III trials that started Dendreon's run.
Now, investors must go into this situation with their eyes fully open. There are never any guarantees in the field of drug approval (many stocks have dropped sharply on news a drug wasn't approved). But for the better part of a month I've been digging through the list of cancer drugs currently in phase III trials. And I think a handful of the companies are showing promise.
This means they are small companies with big potential for FDA approval, and they're working on products that target large segments of national health care spending.
This list includes some big names, including Pfizer, Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN), and Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY). But mixed in are smaller names like Halozyme Therapeutics (Nasdaq: HALO). This $700 million biopharma company has two cancer drugs in late-stage trials, one for breast cancer and the other for follicular lymphoma.
Action to Take --> If one of these drugs is approved, a big one-day jump in the shares isn't out of the question.
And if we're able to make money while also battling against one of nature's most vile diseases, I can't see a negative.
Note: As I said, for the better part of a month I've researched the companies that could be the next big winners in the treatment of cancer for my Game-Changing Stocks advisory. To learn more about my results -- including the 5 stocks I think show the most promise -- visit this link.
