I had a lady call today wanting a sheet cake. She wants it decorated for a bridal shower, which I can handle, but she wants the "little squares" marked on the cake, so they can be sure to cut the correct size pieces. I have never done this. I have seen them, but just never made one that way. She said that she would also like a decoration in each little square. No real specifics, just general info like white cake/white icing. It isn't until mid-May so I have time to practice. I was just wondering if there is any kind of "icing marker" that you can buy?? I have seen the ones for round cakes and for pies, but nothing for sheet cakes. Any ideas where I can get one? Also, if she does decide for a little decoration for each square, what is the best to do for that? And how much more would you charge?
Sorry for all the ??'s, but I know someone out in CCland has an answer!
Thanks in advance!
I believe they do have presses for the tops of cakes but don't hold me to it. You can also measure off the squares and use floss or thread to mark the spacing, then using a writing tip (#3, maybe?) to draw the line on the marked lines made with the floss.
I thought about that after I posted (of course) and I may have to do that. I can't seem to find anything on the web. Sure do hope I can make straight lines, lol! Thanks
yes they make a marker
(I have them)
1 for wedding cake sizes 1 for party sizes but I will have to try to remember where I bought them...
You can view them on www.countrykitchensa.com
They are under cake decorating, general and they are called cake dividers. They have different sized for different sized cakes.
I have used fishing line to actually cut the cake into squares. I decorated the cake like normal after and it looked great. good luck.
My husband has a suggestion.
Measure the inside of your sheet cake pan. Then build a cake marker out of the same material that you make cookie cutters from. Kind of like a really big tic tac toe board. That way you always have one. He is drawing up an example, I'll post it when he finishes...lol
Country Kitchen in Fort Wayne, Indiana has scoring mats. But if you don't want to invest the money, measure out the serving sizes and use dental floss to score the cake.
http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1050053 is an example of this type of cake. I have always liked this way of decorating a cake. Each piece looks so nice on the plate. My mother used to order large sheet cakes for the Christmas Banquet and each piece had a poinsettia on it. That was my first experience with a decorated cake which may explain my fondness for them. (Although I like each piece to be the same.)
I use an impression mat by K&S Quik-Press. It is called a cake divider. Into the Oven carries them but they are out of stock currently. I found one Here http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00086IDCS/?tag=cakecentral-20
This one is actually larger, mine is only for a 9x13. When I did my son's birthday cake, I decorated the center of each square with stars. For my cousins little girl, drop flowers. They are also available in wedding cake serving sizes. It makes it really easy for whomever is cutting the cake to cut the pieces evenly without destroying the cake (like my mother in law does! ). HTH
Mine is the same brand as Melissa. I bought it several years ago and unfortunately I can't remember where I purchased it. I do know I ordered it online.
THANKS!! You guys are great! I just ordered from Country Kitchen, got 2 just in case I ever need it again (diff. sizes). I did a practice cake and used fishing line and a ruler and it wasn't too bad, I just think that this will be easier for me. Sometimes the hands aren't as steady as I would like, lol. I knew that someone on here could help and as always, ya'll came thru again. Will post a pic when it's done. Thanks again.......
I'm probably a little late to answer this, but I've seen carrot cakes divided this way and they usually have a little carrot made from buttercream on top. For a bridal shower, why not do a little rosebud in each square, or even a small rose. Just my 2 cents.
Sorry if you have already done the cake....I just saw the post and thought I would help if i could. I had a request for the sheetcake with squares too....NOT MY STYLE. So, I cut the squares and decorated the way I wanted and you could not even tell it was cut underneath. They just stuck the server under and lifted and it worked great. I will post the cake below.

Reality TV
"Mission Teens" focuses on the lives of students and their families at Lycée Descartes, the French high school in Rabat, Morocco that the artist attended when she was a teenager. The parts of the video that were shown last Thursday were filmed reality TV-style, a combination of footage of the teenagers living their lives and interviews between her, depicted as an animated donkey, and the subjects.
Bennani explained that she was about halfway through editing the footage that she'd gathered over the course of two weeks with her subjects. So at the talk, she asked the audience for feedback on what they had seen of the installation so far in order to help her explore one of the effects of colonialism in her home country and what she calls the "French-Moroccan binary."
Don't miss Meriem Bennani's "Mission Teens" at the Whitney Biennial May 17-September 22.

ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — Florida's tourism agency is paying its outgoing president and CEO $73,000 amid a controversial deal with rapper Pitbull that prompted a shakeup.
The Visit Florida board of directors agreed Tuesday to pay Will Seccombe, who agreed to resign after pressure from Gov. Rick Scott.
Visit Florida is hiring Ken Lawson, the current secretary of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation as a replacement.
Seccombe led the agency since 2012 after serving as its chief marketing officer for nearly five years.
During his tenure, he signed off on a $1 million contract with Pitbull that was initially kept secret.
Pitbull filmed a video for his song "Sexy Beaches" as part of the contract and agreed to promote the hashtag #LOVEFL on his social media sites and at concerts.

Congratulations to Terry! His story Big Dave's In Love, won the Arc short fiction competition. The Arc quarterly magazine/ezine is "a new digital quarterly from the makers of New Scientist, exploring the future through the world of science fiction and intriguing, thought-provoking ideas".
At the Arc blog, Arcfinity, they say:
"Big Dave's In Love is a profound and very funny homage to Carlo Collodi's wooden child Pinocchio, set in a hyper-animated, hyper-aware world.
It is a story about how intelligence emerges out of emotion. It is about pleasure, and trust. It is also, by some margin, one of more perfectly structured stories we've read this year."
You can read an extract of the story at Arcfinity, or get it in full in Arc 1.2.

Nothing says confidence and glamour like a splash of RED...
Welcome back to MAHRYSKA and so so happy with the new look. It took a few sleepless nights but it was well worth it coz the website is looking refreshed and absolutely gorgeous.
What do you guys think?
And because I am introducing a new layout, I am giving you a splash of bright red because this color screams change – change in look (i chopped my hair), change in weather (summer is just around the corner) and change in pretty much everything else around me. Like my blog.
I have always loved wearing a monochromatic look from head to toe. I think it elevates a color so much and the overall style is just super simple and chic. Red is my usual go-to because of how great the color works for this particular style trend, plus it certainly looks good.
So have you tried this kind of look before?

Global insurance giant Manulife is looking to wearable fitness trackers, data collection and an enticing rewards program to boost sluggish sales and connect with customers in a radical new way.
Or that's the pitch anyway.
What's really going on is Big Insurance is looking to extend their information advantage over you, the Small Customer. Insurance companies make their money by taking bets they, on average, win. In order to maintain that average, or increase it, they collect oodles of data on the policies they write to figure out the odds of having to pay.
If the odds are in their favor, they give you a policy. If the odds favor you, they don't.
Plus they're always looking for a way not to pay. Pre-existing medical condition? They'll take your money until it comes time to use the policy, then they'll weasel out of the bet.
By giving insurance companies more data, you allow them to fine tune their betting and welshing strategies. It may look like you're getting a good deal or fair coverage but thanks to supercomputers and loads of data they'll win – every time. You'll lose.
The insurance companies are looking to massively extend that advantage by offering rate reductions and incentives to customers who will share this data. For instance, customers who demonstrate they're focused on health – from annual checkups and flu shots to frequent gym visits. Or installing GPS trackers in your car to make sure you drive the speed limit and don't under-report how much driving you do in a year.
Manulife's U.S. program, run by subsidiary John Hancock Financial Services, gives customers points not only for working out, but also for maintaining good levels of blood glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure, and for not using tobacco.
Other health efforts such as mammograms, colonoscopies and dental screenings also add up.
The customer is ranked bronze, silver, gold or platinum and can earn a 5 to 15 percent discount on his or her premium the following year.
This new effort to lure consumers comes at a time when insurance companies are not only digging for new policyholders in a mature market, but also building larger wealth- and asset-management divisions that compete with financial institutions such as banks. Lenders benefit from their more frequent contact with customers.
Sounds good right?
Wrong. What happens if you have unique circumstances not captured in the 'average'?
For instance, you break a leg at work which prevents you from doing any physical activity for half a year. Or what if you have naturally high cholesterol, as some members of the population have.
What will happen is that you'll pay more. Or, more worryingly, you'll be denied coverage or have the policy cancelled.
This scenario already happens with cancer survivors. If you have had cancer once, odds are no insurance company will cover you in the future, for anything health related, regardless of if you have a clean bill of health.
Imagine this concept extended back throughout an entire person's life, like our children's. Diabetes? Too many lung infections? History of concussions from sports? Above average number of cavities? All could be grounds for insurance companies to price gouge, deny coverage or welsh on payments.
By giving them more data you're giving them more opportunity to take advantage of you.
Insurance companies looking to 'boost revenues' and 'increase margins' are not your friends. That money comes from you, the policy holder, and is enabled by Big Insurance's data crunching juggernaut.
The more data you give them the less coverage you get, plain and simple.
So next time an insurance company offers you a free Fitbit or a rewards scheme to put a GPS in your car, just say thanks but no thanks. You're guaranteed to get none of the upside and all of the downside.

Not only are there a myriad of business trends and technology changes, but the way partners and service providers interact with client has undergone a facelift – and is still evolving. Infront Systems managing director, Allan King, said the customer conversation is changing – and Cloud is a key point of discussion in the storage arena.
"The conversation I have with customers is trying to understand what Cloud is and what it actually represents. Customers are very excited about software defined networking, hyper scale architectures, they're all about scale out commodities, architectures and the discussions revolve around that. But they're really third platform discussions."
Instead, he said what needs to happen is a conversation that talks about either 'pets' or 'cattle' – and moving from a 'servers as pets world' to a 'servers as cattle world,' which is critical to success in Cloud and delivering new value to the enterprise.
"I talk about 'pets' and 'cattle'. The pet conversation is very much what we deal with today. We name our servers our pets; if they get sick, we nurse it back to health. And the reason we do that is because the application workloads we're running rely on a very highly resilient, a very robust infrastructure. But when cattle get ill, you get another one, or shoot it!" King said.
"But the only way in which we can adopt the cattle architecture is by re-architecting the application such that the resiliency exists within that. So we need to have conversations with customers and frame it that way."
Indeed, industry experts agree that future application architectures should use cattle, but pets with strong configuration management are viable and still needed. King said there's still confusion, particularly around the storage platform.
'We're confused as an industry about what actually is the right fi t for the right platform at the right time – and I believe it's a hybrid world. We need to slowly move to a third platform architecture as we re-architect our applications. But that's going to take time. We cannot ignore the pets discussion; that we have a SLA and we have a duty of care to our organisation that we just cannot lift and shift. So they're the two diametrically opposed conversations we're having, but it's starting to resonate," he said, adding customers need to look at Cloud where it makes sense.
With disruptive times, comes massive change, agreed NetApp's Swinbourne. He said the partner's conversation no longer happens solely with the IT department. The new power centre is the C-level executive and not just the CIO, but the CMO, and often times the IT department is a roadblock when talking about the storage platform and overall IT infrastructure.
"The IT department, in some businesses, are the people holding the business back saying, 'you can't to do this' and forcing a lot of that public hyper scale of Cloud adoption out of frustration and cultural problems inside customer organisations. Time and time again I see customers use hyper scalers to solve what essentially is a cultural problem in their business."
Partners need to ask the customer where the information is living.
"You need to think about how you're going to look back on seven years of records. You need to think about cost control – and that's the changing role of the reseller. It is shifting who we engage with inside businesses and how we engage with businesses. If we're talking to IT and we don't have any other relationships, we're talking to the wrong people."

Simon Jones' chances of playing against Pakistan are only 50-50, says the England physiotherapist Kirk Russell. Jones missed the final Ashes Test at The Oval after developing a bone spur on his right ankle, and had been a key component in England's bowling attack all summer. With his ability to swing the new and old ball, conventionally and with reverse swing, the dry and dusty pitches of Pakistan ought to suit his style of bowling.
But he continues to be troubled with his ankle injury, and is due to go for a scan on Friday. Speaking to The Sunday Times, Russell conceded the Welshman is struggling: "It is very much 50-50 with him," he said. "We have an England camp on October 17 and 18 at Loughborough; he needs to be bowling then for him to be declared fit to tour Pakistan.
"If things continue to progress well, we will look to increase the amount of weight the ankle is bearing before Simon starts running again."

|Images | Quotes | Transcript
"Rampage" is the first episode of season two of Generator Rex and the 22nd of the overall series. It debuted on February 4, 2011.
Rex and the gang are dispatched to deal with a commotion going on at the port. After Van Kleiss turns Noah into an EVO, Rex must cure him before time runs out and before Van Kleiss gets to him first.
While Providence Headquarters is being rebuilt following the events of the previous episode, Rex and Bobo are living with (and annoying) Noah, while Six is a "ninja-hobo" living under his jump jet. Rex gets a call that Providence is trying to transport a power core for the base, when an EVO is on the loose, conveniently where the power core is. Rex finds out that Van Kleiss used the EVO as a decoy to draw attention from the power core, which could power Abysus for a decade.
After a battle between Rex and Van Kleiss, the latter turns Noah into an EVO (a giant blond EVO dog/gorilla), forcing Rex to try and cure him before Providence hurts him.
Dr. Holiday does research on a sample she took from an EVO created by Van Kleiss. Her sample shows that the EVOs Van Kleiss creates are unstable, and their condition may become permanent if not cured within a certain amount of time (she assumes, at this point, that the time period is different for each EVO).
Rex's biometrics drop from running after Noah all night, causing him to take a breather before curing Noah; however, Van Kleiss scares Noah away before Rex can cure him. Van Kleiss challenges Rex to a fight, who takes up the macho persona about kicking his butt, but Rex runs away instead of fighting because of the need to find Noah and because his biometrics have yet to recharge.
After a chase in a labyrinth of train tracks, Rex's biometrics spike back up, and a new build of his allows him to defeat Van Kleiss, with a little help from Noah. After Rex finally cures Noah, it is revealed that turning Noah into an EVO was a distraction for Van Kleiss, to weaken the defenses near the power core which Breach promptly steals, and his plan eventually succeeds.
Back at Providence Headquarters, Rex is training, trying to create more machines or "builds". He decides that he wants to stay back "home" in the almost repaired Providence Headquarters, with Six and Holiday feeling the same way.

- When Rex has the two mouthed EVO pinned under the Punk Busters Doctor Holiday crouches down next to the EVO's right arm (without the mark from Van Kleiss). She is suddenly next to the left arm (with the mark) and sticks her probe into that arm. After finishing taking the sample, she is suddenly back next to the right arm again.
- As seen in the episode "Payback", Biowulf and Skalamander were arrested by Providence. But now, they are seen with Van Kleiss and Breach. It is not confirmed whether they broke out on their own, or if Breach liberated them with her portals.
- This is the first time Rex has used eight different weapons and machines in one day.
- Rex creates the Funchucks for the first time, debuting them as the second Omega-1 "build" after the Blast Caster.
- Noah's full-fledged EVO form is revealed for the first time.

A funeral sermon is a talk on a religious or moral subject, especially given during a funeral service and based on a passage from the Bible. Faith based funeral services generally are officiated by a Pastor, Priest or clergy of the church. There is a time slotted into the order of service for a sermon especially for the bereaved family members and attendees to provide encouragement and hope during a time of loss.
Faith Based In Nature
They are faith based in nature but can also be secular depending on the denomination of the deceased. Often the Pastor gives a sermon relating to the deceased in some way, shape or fashion. Sometimes it can be based on how they died. It is often tailored so that it personalizes the service and the surviving family members are provided some peace of the loss. It can be of great comfort to mourners because it helps make some sense of it all based on a higher power.
Funeral sermons are typically not as long as a church sermon and are generally about 15-25 minutes in length. This can vary according to the religion or church affiliation. The sermon brings out several Bible verses that relate on the topic being given. The Pastor or clergy may provide some personal references to the deceased by relating to things they have said or did in life. This is essential to include because it helps the message to be relatable to those lives they touched and who the deceased knew.
What's It About?
The sermon can be given if the funeral service is held in a church, funeral home or other location. It typically is placed in the middle of the funeral ceremony and allotted a good amount of time for the message. It can be also referred to as a message of hope or a message of encouragement. Sometimes, families like to change the title on the funeral program because sermon can have a negative connotation for those in attendance who are not believers or within the faith. For Catholics, the funeral sermon is called a homily. Every funeral service does not have to have a sermon being said but often if the deceased was part of a church, it is provided to the family should the ceremony be religious in nature.
Although the family or deceased may have been religious, some attendees may not be. Because the focus of the message is providing comfort to the immediate family, care must be taken if they are not of the faith. The sermon should incorporate the deceased into the topic of the message by saying his or her name during the message and including personal experiences of them, if possible. It can also provide passages about heaven and life after death, speaking of no more pain and sorrow.
Some Christian affiliations title the funeral service A Celebration of Life because it is more uplifting than it is somber and focuses on their loved one being in a better place - heaven. This does bring much solace, comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness for the grieving heart. The funeral sermon is generally the main message given in a service and is the lengthiest item in the order of service.
We have provided some samples below for funeral sermons in specific situations as an example and reference to gain insight on how it can be presented and how the scriptures and Bible lesson is integrated nicely together.

Did you know that Americans throw away 100 billion plastic bags every year? Or that only around about 23 percent of plastic bottles get recycled? There's a plastic pandemic, and things are only going to get worse. Now, some organizations are taking action — they've declared war on plastic waste. Here are three that you need to know about.
1. Houston Zoo
Houston, we have a problem: Plastic water bottles.
Back in October 2017, Houston Zoo announced it was banning plastic bottles from its gift shops and cafes. Customers will now have two options: They can purchase a reusable aluminum water bottle or recyclable paper-based bottle made from renewable resources.
"The elimination of single-use plastic water bottles will have a significant wildlife- saving impact on the environment by reducing the amount of plastic waste by nearly 300,000 single-use plastic bottles in just one year," says Ban the Bottle.
Houston Zoo is no stranger to reducing plastic waste. In 2016, they removed plastic bags from their gift shops to protect species in the wild.
As plastic waste becomes a bigger problem, could other metropolitan zoos follow Houston's lead? If they do, they might opt for metal water bottles instead, which are durable and much better for the environment.
2. Hong Kong University
Last year, Hong Kong University, one of the world's leading educational institutions, announced it was banning single-use plastic water bottles from its campus offices, restaurants, shops, and vending machines. The goal? To get its 30,000 students to think twice about plastic waste.
"While other universities had similar initiatives and recycling programs, HKU is understood to be first to announce a campus-wide ban," says the South China Morning Post.
But that's not all. The university could also ban takeaway boxes and plastic bags in the future. Hong Kong has long had a plastic pollution problem. The country disposes of 5.2 million bottles, which weigh a total of 136 tons, every single day.
Here in North America, more colleges are banning plastic and educating their students about the dangers of plastic waste. Winnipeg University was the first educational institution to ban plastic bottles in Canada, and Washington University in St Louis was the first to do so in the United States.
3. Starbucks
Starbucks recently declared that it was getting rid of plastic straws and replacing them with lids. They will also introduce alternative-material straws. When the company made the announcement on Twitter, thousands of people congratulated the brand for making a positive change.
"The Seattle-based coffee chain estimates that this move will eliminate more than 1 billion plastic straws a year across its more than 28,000 stores around the world," says The Guardian.
The new lids will be made from a material called polypropylene — a plastic that can be recycled.
Starbucks isn't the only company banning plastic straws. American Airline and Hyatt are introducing eco-friendly alternatives.
These organizations are taking plastic waste seriously. As more single-use water bottles and straws end up in landfill sites and the ocean, people are finally trying to address the problem. If you want to reduce plastic in your own organization, consider using metal packaging — like aluminum bottles and cans — instead. This way, you can do your bit for the environment.

Association of PNPLA3 Polymorphism with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development and Prognosis in Viral and Non-Viral Chronic Liver Diseases

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate any association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) (rs738409, C>G) and the development and prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods: Two hundred heathy controls and 388 HCC cases were included: 211 with HBV, 98 patients with HCV, 29 with alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) and 52 with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The SNP was determined by real-time PCR based on TaqMan assays. Results: The prevalence of rs738409 genotypes CC, CG and GG in controls was 91 (45.5%), 88 (44.0%), and 21 (10.5%), respectively, while the corresponding genotypes in all patients with HCC was 158 (40.7%), 178 (45.9%), and 52 (13.4%). The GG genotype had significantly higher distribution in patients with ASH/NASH-related HCC compared with controls (OR=2.34, 95% CI=1.16-4.71, P=0.018), and viral-related HCC cases (OR=2.15, 95% CI=1.13-4.08, P=0.020). However, the frequency of the GG genotype was similar between controls and patients with viral-related HCC. At initial diagnosis, HBV-related HCC were larger and at more advanced BCLC stage than the other HCC groups. There were no significant differences between the GG and non-GG groups regarding clinical characteristics, tumor stage and overall survival. Conclusions: These data suggest an influence of the PNPLA3 polymorphism on the occurrence of HCC in patients with ASH/NASH but not among those with chronic viral hepatitis. However, the polymorphism was not associated with the prognosis of HCC.

Samsung is working on a smartphone codenamed Beyond X, which will become the main flagship model in 2019. It will be an anniversary and momentous device, like Apple's iPhone X last year. There is a possibility that it will not even be called the Galaxy S10. The Wall Street Journal has published the first information about this device.
The smartphone will get a large display with a diagonal of about 6.7 inches. And he will have six cameras at once – two front and four main ones. This will help the device to take better pictures and better determine the depth of the scenes for software background blur. The company has already tested a similar system of cameras in an inexpensive smartphone Galaxy A9 .
According to the source, Samsung has specially added as few innovations as possible to the new flagships in order to leave all the surprises for the anniversary model. The main feature of the model will be the support of 5G. This should help the company in competition with Apple, which, according to rumors, plans to start supporting fifth-generation networks only in 2020.
It turns out that Samsung in February will present three models of the Galaxy S10. And in about a month, the real flagship Beyond X will appear. In addition, in early 2019, the company should present a folding smartphone, and in the second half – a new Galaxy Note. In total, Samsung will have six flagships next year.

This is a very nice mouse, I personally like it. It works well even with smaller hands due to its perfect size.
Its functional and comfortable for both left and right handed users, and I really think the market lacks gaming mice for left handed users and this means Mionix should gain a lot of users.
They have made another high quality product that works well and it responds very well to movements during gaming.
Overall very nice mouse and the only cons I could find was the stiff sleeving and no weights.
+ Comfortable
+ Sleeved cable
+ Quick response
+ Works for both left and right handed
+ Good software
– Sleeving is to stiff
– No weights

Overlap adjustment
I'm a big fan of your site use it a lot. I was wondering if you'd be able to add an ability to adjust how much overlap you'd like to have, not just 5mm. I use a professional borderless printer capable of printing 13 x 19 inch posters and prefer boarderless printing to utilize the entire space, but when I do that a 5mm overlap isn't enough over lap for me to connect them properly and if I do overlap and a margin, I have to cut away the margin in order to overlap and the cut edge usually appears more prominantely than it would if it was printed all the way to the edge. it would be a nice option. Thanks again for the site, i've already donated. thanks =)

This coming Saturday morning, January 5th, I will begin facilitating a year-long exploration of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. The meetings will take place on the first Saturday morning of each month throughout the year as part of the Soul Writers ministry here at UCOH. All you will need to participate is a personal copy of The Artist's Way, a blank journal, your favorite writing instrument, and a sincere desire to meet your inner creative artist.
For the record, Soul Writers is not just for "writers" or those who aspire to be writers. Like The Artist's Way, the intention of Soul Writers is for creatives of all stripes. Whether you are a writer, musician, dancer, sculptor, photographer, painter or any other creative "type," with Soul Writers, you will have found your tribe. We call ourselves "soul writers," because we use writing as a means of priming the creative pump for artistic expression. While we support all creative writing endeavors, the intention of Soul Writers is not to "teach" writing. Rather, it is to use writing or, more specifically, "journaling" as a means of creative and artistic exploration.
Don't be put off by the group ministry name of Soul Writers if you don't perceive yourself as a writer. Likewise, if you don't perceive yourself as an "artist," or feel you are not artistically inclined, don't let the book title The Artist's Way stop you from participating. However, if you feel like you would like to make a deeper commitment to creative expression in your life, no matter what that expression may be, then I invite you to join me and the Soul Writers on this year-long spiritual journey towards a more authentic creative experience in your life.
A Creative Path To Spiritual Recovery
It has been 22-plus years since I first worked my way methodically through The Artist's Way, and while I got a tremendous amount of creative mileage out of that first pass, I have lately been feeling the need to work my way though it again, as a way of doubling down on my creative goals. The first time, I went through it alone. This time, I desire to go through it with others. I won't go into my initial experience with The Artist's Way here in this article. But, if you are interested in that story, you can read my article, The Artist's Way: 12 Steps To Creative Recovery, which was published here on the UCOH blog back in September.
While Julia Cameron describes The Artist's Way as a "spiritual path to higher creativity," I call it my "12 step program to creative recovery," or stated another way, I see it as a "creative path to spiritual recovery." The article from September conveys some of the back story of that "recovery" and how The Artist's Way served in that process. Whatever you call it, I can say unequivocally that The Artist's Way changed my life, corrected my course, and healed me at levels I did not even know needed healing. Without The Artist's Way, I would never have become a songwriter, or recording artist, and likely, would never have become a Licensed Unity Teacher. I cannot overstate the importance of The Artist's Way in my life.
The Artist's Way Tool Kit
If you have had previous experience with The Artist's Way, then you know the primary tools we will be using on our year-long journey towards creative recovery are the morning pages and the artist date. We will talk more about what those tools are in the meetings. However, for the purposes of this article, allow me to use Julia Cameron's definitions of these two powerful, creative tools.
The first and most important tool in your artist's way toolkit is: the morning pages. Julia Cameron describes the "morning pages" as "three pages of longhand writing, strictly stream of consciousness." They are not meant for public consumption or publication. In fact, you are encouraged to not even read them for at least six weeks. I have only rarely ever gone back and read my morning pages, and I have completed a fair number of journals along the way, although I will admit that in recent years my morning pages production has been sporadic at best. Getting back to having the morning pages be part of my regular routine is perhaps the biggest reason for my recommitment to The Artist's Way in 2019. They are like a brain drain for me, helping to clear out the clutter in my mind so that I am more available for the creative possibilities of the day. They are also a constant source of surprise and inspiration to me as an artist, because I have no expectations for them, except to do them. They are kind of like a "chop wood, carry water" exercise for me, and the value is in the routine of doing them consistently in my life, no matter what is going on. I need that regularity to keep me on my creative track.
The second tool in The Artist's Way toolkit is no less important, though it is not a required daily activity. Cameron calls this creative tool the "artist date" and describes it as a "block of time, perhaps two hours weekly, especially set aside and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness." The artist date complements the morning pages. Together, they are a "two-step, two-directional process" of "going out, then in." With the morning pages, we are sending out to the universe declarations of our hopes, dreams, desires and dissatisfactions. On the artist date, we are receiving "insight, inspiration and guidance" back from the universe. The artist date is intended to be a solo play date, exclusively with yourself and your inner artist. No lovers, friends, family members or other companions are allowed to tag along.
The Artist's Way Is An Open-Ended Journey With No Ultimate Destination
The Artist's Way is, in essence, a spiritual path, initiated and practiced through the activity of creativity, of doing the things that artists do to create an artful life. Creativity is an "open ended" activity. It is a journey with no ultimate destination. We will travel to and arrive at many wonderful creative destinations along the journey, but the journey itself is open-ended. There is no end point because there is always something more to be created, and the journey is only done when we decide we no longer wish to travel its pathways.
To take this journey really requires only two attitudes, or commitments, from you: willingness and open mindedness. Nothing that you have ever accomplished or simply done in your life has ever been achieved without your willingness. If you wish to live a creative, artful life, then you must first be willing to do so. It does not happen by accident. It does not force itself upon you, no matter how insistent it may call to you. You have to willingly participate in creating the experience for yourself, or it simply will not come to pass.
The second commitment required of you is to cultivate an attitude of open-mindedness. You might think it silly that the simple practices of writing your daily morning pages, or taking yourself on an artist date once a week can effect profound changes in your life. Be open-minded. Do them anyway. If you do, your own experience will prove their efficacy. Magic will happen in your life, and all around, you will see creative potential. Before you know it, you will begin feeling like an artist. Do it long enough and an artful life will be your creative reward.
An Open Invitation To Your Inner Artist
I invite you personally to join me and the Soul Writers on this year-long journey of personal discovery and nurturing of your inner artist. I look forward to sharing this experience with any and all of my fellow creative artists who show up throughout the year.
If you cannot make it to the first meeting this Saturday, do not sweat it. Simply, obtain your personal copy of The Artist's Way, or perhaps dust off the one that has been collecting dust on your shelf, get a brand new journal, your favorite writing instrument and work your way through chapter 1, "Recovering A Sense Of Safety," in January. Do your morning pages. Go on your artist's date. And, do the suggested exercises you will find at the end of the chapter.
Then, join us on the first Saturday in February. Ultimately, your artist's journey, like my own, is a solitary one. But, it is good to know there are others who are also on the path that you can connect with to share the experience. In this, the Soul Writers are there for you, and we look forward to bearing witness to the birth of your inner artist. See you on the path.

The Project called "Complaints management Service with a responsive web" is a web application specially designed for the management and evaluation of complaints proposed by citizens. The main function of the web application is to provide citizens a fast, suitable, indicative and easy tool to send their complaints. Our specialized team will manage the complaints and make them available to the rest of citizens who want to contribute to their resolution. In order to perform our objective, we have proposed the creation of an start-up as we want to create a new company based on an innovative idea and looking for complicated processes to be easier. In the short term, the idea of this project is to create a small community which responds to the complaints of citizens. This community will consist on citizens who want to contribute to the resolution of complaints, but also on a team of professionals who would be responsible to provide verified information to the user for the resolution of his complaint or to deal with it according to the user's requirements. At the beginning of the process, a responsible person is needed for the maintenance of the web application. In the long term, if a complaint is processed formally, we will need some lawyers to carry out the complaint according to the procedures established by law. This personalized management will have a cost for the citizen as our specialized team will have to make the necessary arrangements to get this complaint solved as soon as possible, fulfilling our purpose of helping citizens in solving their problem. The web application has been developed with the aim of providing citizens with the possibility to make a complaint from anywhere, making it adaptable to the type of device they use and to enhance the experience from devices such as notebooks, tablets or smartphones. In this document, the design, analysis, planning and architecture process of the web application is detailed.

It was clear long before the Jets drafted Sam Darnold that neither Bryce Petty nor Christian Hackenberg would be the Jets' Quarterback of the Future.
Petty became a thing of the past, first.
The 26-year-old Petty, a fourth-round pick out of Baylor back in 2015, has been released by the Jets, according to an NFL source. He leaves having made seven starts over the last two seasons, completing 53.1 percent of passes for 1,353 yards with four touchdowns and 10 interceptions. In those starts, the Jets went 1-6.
The fact that he already had his opportunity is likely a big reason why he was cut before Hackenberg, the Jets' second-round pick from 2016 who has yet to step on the field in a regular season game. Petty had beaten out Hackenberg on the depth chart two years running and has shown far more ability during practices. But his performances made it clear to the Jets there wasn't much of an upside there.
The same might be true for the 23-year-old Hackenberg, but he is younger, was selected in a higher round, and he still hasn't really gotten a shot. Of course now that the Jets drafted Darnold third overall and are confident he'll be their franchise quarterback for years to come, if Hackenberg is going to get an NFL shot, it likely won't be here.
Still, he might stick around for a little while despite the Jets' crowded quarterback situation. Aside from Darnold, they also have 38-year-old veteran Josh McCown back, and they signed free agent Teddy Bridgewater. However, Bridgewater is still recovering from a devastating knee injury that cost him most of the last two seasons. It's possible the Jets want to wait to see him in action first to make sure his knee can hold up before they make any other quarterback moves.
One of the remaining quarterbacks from last season's roster was always going to be squeezed out of practice time, though, which is why it made sense to get rid of Petty now. He was due to make $705,000 this season, which is the amount the Jets cleared off their cap.

The action of the fantastic series takes place in the world of the future, where people have learned to create robots, outwardly indistinguishable from a living person. These machines help around the house, without their help is difficult to do. They call robots synthetics, and their purpose is to make life easier for people and obey them in everything. To avoid unusual and unforeseen situations, robots were introduced a set of rules in the program that they can not break.
