As a mom I have always wanted to immortalize my children, to keep them with me in some way at all times. I have thought of getting tattoos, or creating stepping stones with their handprints…well tattoos are expensive and PERMANENT! And as much as I love stepping stones I want something closer to my heart, something beautiful that everyone will comment on and ask about!
Mama's jewelry is the answer for me! From pendants or rings, to earrings and bracelets i can get beautiful jewelry with all six of my children's birthstones!
Since we aren't 100% sure that #6 is our last, I am going to wait a few years to order my PERFECT pendant…However, I wanted to shower my Mother in law with some much deserved love and decided to order her the PERFECT necklace with all 12 of her grandchildren's birthstone represented!
I love the rose gold option as I am not a fan of traditional gold. However, silver didn't seem warm enough for such a lovely representation of family. The craftsmanship is simply beautiful and so very elegant.
We were given the option of choosing imitation jewels or paying an extra fee per stone for natural. I chose to stick with imitation, but still found the stones to be lovely and bright!

With the exquisite collection of mothers ring, pendants, and bracelets from Mama's Jewelry, you're bound to the most unforgettable gift!

Plum Meringue Pie Recipe
When it comes to meringue everyone usually thinks of lemon, because nothing cuts through the sweet clouds of caramelized meringue quite like the smooth acidity of lemon custard or curd. It stands to reason that meringue would play well with other acidic fruits, such as plums.
- Yield:8
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:4 hours
- One single crust recipe for Easy Pie Dough, shaped and chilled in a pie plate
- 12 red plums, pitted and cut into eighths
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup of granulated sugar for fruit, additional 1/2 cup granulated sugar for meringue
- 1/4 cup instant tapioca
- 3 egg whites
- 1/8 cup water
- pinch of cream of tartar
- pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 425° F. Place the plums in a bowl. Taste them to get a feel for how sweet they are; if they are bracingly tart add the full 1/2 cup of sugar, but if they are on the sweeter side add only 1/4 cup. Add the tapioca, toss the mixture together until the fruit is evenly coated, and set aside for 10 minutes.
Evenly distribute the plum mixture inside the chilled, prepared pie crust and place in a 425°F oven. Rotate the pie after ten minutes and bake for an additional five before lowering the oven to 350°. If the plums start to burn, place a tented, loose piece of tin foil over the filling. Bake for another 20-25 minutes, until the filling starts to bubble all over. Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool.
Once pie has cooled, place the egg whites, cream of tartar, and sait in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan and mix it so there are no dry spots, taking care not to splatter any sugar on the edges of the pot. Bring the sugar mixture to a boil and continue to cook until it reaches 235°, frequently washing down the sides of the pot with a brush dipped in water. As the sugar approaches the desired temperature, begin beating the eggs so they are foamy but still quite wet. Slowly drizzle the sugar into the bowl of the mixer as it runs on low to medium speed, then increase the speed and whisk until the meringue holds firm peaks, about 4 minutes.
Top the pie with the meringue and use a spoon to shape it into desired look. Place the pie under the broiler in the oven and watch it carefully as the meringue's surface caramelizes and turns golden brown. This will happen quickly, so be sure to watch it carefully and pull it out when it has reached your desired level of darkness. Serve immediately.

Steve Ballmer says he's 'all in' when it comes to Clippers' success
He wasn't quite running and jumping like a cheerleader, as he was known to do when speaking to fellow Microsoft employees, but Steve Ballmer was clearly fired up in his first interview since being named owner-designate of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaking at Los Angeles City Hall, before a meeting with Mayor Eric Garcetti just before noon Friday, the 6-foot-5 Ballmer clapped with nearly every word as he told The Times: "I. Want. This. Team. To. Be. Successful." He added, "I'm all in when it comes to trying to be successful on the court. I don't know what that means, but I know I'll support the people who do."
The 58-year-old former chief executive of Microsoft also tried to make it clear that — though he is from Seattle and last year tried to buy an NBA team and move it there — he is also all in for L.A. He noted that his son is on the verge of graduation from USC, that he spoke at a couple of graduation ceremonies at the campus this month and is thinking of teaching a class at the university's Marshall School of Business.
Ballmer went to the Century City offices of Greenberg Glusker, Shelly Sterling's law firm, to sign the term sheet for purchase of the Clippers before midnight Thursday.
By breakfast Friday, he had L.A. friends suggesting neighborhoods where he might buy a second home. He said he intended to find a place "close enough to get to the arena quickly and close enough to golf of some form."
He wanted to assure his friends in Seattle that he would not forsake his home, and multiple philanthropic commitments, in that city. And he pledged support for the NBA placing a team in Seattle. "I'll be the biggest cheerleader for that," he said.

The exercises is very easy and that they will help me a lot in the test
I like going to cafe and cinema with my friends to spend a nice time and be happy
I like to go to school, library, I love books.. And café too
I like going to the library, cinema and I like to drink a cafe so I also like going to the cafe.
A post office is the first place my classmate and I did a research for a presentation in a social studies class. I regret we should have visited a chocolate factory, we could have got chocolates!
I never send a letter or parcel through post office . But i have been seen castle in my hometown through TV program unfortunately it was damage or ruined . I would like to work in fruit factory because i like so much fruit .
I like going to cafe and cinema with my friends to spend a nice time and be happy.
I want the see castle. But big castle. So I'll go Ankara and visit Ankara Castle. It's too amazing!
i like go to cafe and cinema my friends. i like go to the Çamlık in Yozgat :)
I like cafe, cinema but my favorite place is post office cos there is active place. people are very fast :)
I like going to the cinema with my friend, we usually buy the ticket on the group-buying websites, that save us lots of money :)
I often go to the cinema with my friend. Especially in the summer vacations. We used to going once to week. We go to school's library, for do homework in group and hang out together. There is no many beautiful places where I live, however I like it, because it's my home.
I like going to the mall during weekends. I usually go there with friends or with my sister. We sometimes go for coffee or ice cream, but sometimes we shop in the mall. I also like going to the library near the place I live. I like going to the cinema too, but I don't do that quite often.
I like going to cafe. Sometime I bring a book to read, sometime I have some chats with my friend. I love to sit near the window and look at people pass by the street.
There's no castle where I live!! Of course, I need to go to the train station to go to school....
=͟͟͞͞ (¦3[▓▓]
I like going to the library and restaurants..
There are so many places to go where I live. Among them, I mostly like going to the Shwedagon Pagoda.
It is an image of our country. It is a very holy place for Buddhists. It is a very peaceful, quiet place. We can donate flowers and candle lights to Buddha. We can say prayers and also meditate. When we get there, our minds always become calm down. This is the most famous holy place not only among us natives but also among foreigners. Secondly, I want to go to the park called Maharbandular Park. It is in the downtown. It is surrounded by historical places like Sule Pagoda, the city hall, the law court and the Christian Church. They all generally show the history of our country. There is an independence monument in the park. There is a grass field covering the park's most areas. We can walk along pavements or we can play in a small playground. It it so much happy to see the children playing happily. Some families are making picnics with smiles and laughs. There is also a water fountain near the one gate of the park that leads to the city hall. All standards of people can go to those places. I don't like places only for the rich and not for the other standards of people.
Good English <3
I love going to the beach because it relax me
I want to visit a castle.
so interesting♥
I like going to forest ....
Me too =)

There are so many places where I like to go. For example, it's Kalemegdan. Kalemegdan is the most popular park among Belgradians, there is the river Danube nearby and I like to hang out with my friends there. We usually have long walks and it's our tradition.
When I lived in Turkey, my favourite place to relax was Bosphorus. It's so relaxing, and I think that it hugs people. I miss Bosphourus a lot.

Stäubli Electrical Connectors, Inc.Updated 03/12/2013
Very fast, user-friendly and suitable for on-the-fly locking or wall mounting - the new interlock system for RobiFix Multi-Contact has developed a new standard for robot dress packs for spot welding. The RobiFix primary circuit connector provides power supply in the dress pack with single-core cables, and is particularly compact, installation-friendly and cost-effective. New accessory parts now round out the system and extend its possible applications. With RobiFix-LOCK, the connector can easily be fastened and/or locked. On the one hand, this permits a welding robot to be fastened to a mounting plate, for example. But on the other hand, the RobiFix-LOCK is also used for on-the-fly interlocking of the plug connection in manual welding gun applications.

The cyclists getting ready to bike 2,272 miles through the UK, Belgium, Spain, and France this year for the Tour de France will get an extra-special sendoff: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will be at the start of the race to wave the 22 teams off.
As Hello! magazine reports, Prince William and Kate Middleton are cycling enthusiasts, not only cheering on Great Britain's sprint team when they won gold at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, but actually meandering around town on bicycles themselves.
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge occasionally use the London Cyclescheme bicycles to undertake private journeys around London," a St James's Palace spokesperson confirmed in 2011. Amazing.
Perhaps K.Midd had the Olympics on the brain, because she wore the same Christopher Kane suit to attend the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle yesterday, as she did for the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. For the event Monday, she paired the pale blue suit with a matching Lock & Co. Hatters hat and nude Jimmy Choo heels.
She left the event in a carriage with Wills and Prince Charles, who in their jaunty plumes and traditional robes looked wonderfully festive, but still could not distract us from noting the absence of our favorite prince.

University of Minnesota discovery could make fuel and plastics production more energy efficient and cost effective
A University of Minnesota team of researchers has overcome a major hurdle in the quest to design a specialized type of molecular sieve that could make the production of gasoline, plastics and various chemicals more cost effective and energy efficient. The breakthrough research, led by chemical engineering and materials science professor Michael Tsapatsis in the university's College of Science and Engineering, is published in the most recent issue of the journal Science.
After more than a decade of research, the team devised a means for developing free-standing, ultra-thin zeolite nanosheets that as thin films can speed up the filtration process and require less energy. The team has a provisional patent and hopes to commercialize the technology.
"In addition to research on new renewable fuels, chemicals and natural plastics, we also need to look at the production processes of these and other products we use now and try to find ways to save energy," Tsapatsis said.
Separating mixed substances can demand considerable amounts of energy—currently estimated to be approximately 15 percent of the total energy consumption—part of which is wasted due to process inefficiencies. In days of abundant and inexpensive fuel, this was not a major consideration when designing industrial separation processes such as distillation for purifying gasoline and polymer precursors. But as energy prices rise and policies promote efficiency, the need for more energy-efficient alternatives has grown.
One promising option for more energy-efficient separations is high-resolution molecular separation with membranes. They are based on preferential adsorption and/or sieving of molecules with minute size and shape differences. Among the candidates for selective separation membranes, zeolite materials (crystals with molecular-sized pores) show particular promise.
While zeolites have been used as adsorbents and catalysts for several decades, there have been substantial challenges in processing zeolitic materials into extended sheets that remain intact. To enable energy-savings technology, scientists needed to develop cost-effective, reliable and scalable deposition methods for thin film zeolite formation.
The University of Minnesota team used sound waves in a specialized centrifuge process to develop "carpets" of flaky crystal-type nanosheets that are not only flat, but have just the right amount of thickness. The resulting product can be used to separate molecules as a sieve or as a membrane barrier in both research and industrial applications.
"We think this discovery holds great promise in commercial applications," said Kumar Varoon, a University of Minnesota chemical engineering and materials science Ph.D. candidate and one of the primary authors of the paper published in Science. "This material has good coverage and is very thin. It could significantly reduce production costs in refineries and save energy."
Members of the research team include Ph.D. candidates Kumar Varoon and Xueyi Zhang; postdoctoral fellows Bahman Elyassi and Cgun-Yi Sung; former students and Ph.D. graduates Damien Brewer, Sandeep Kumar, J. Alex Lee and Sudeep Maheshwari, graduate student Anudha Mittal; former undergraduate student Melissa Gettel; and faculty members Matteo Cococcioni, Lorraine Francis, Alon McCormick, K. Andre Mkhoyan and Michael Tsapatsis.
This research is being funded by the United States Department of Energy (including the Carbon Sequestration Program and the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation – An Energy Frontier Center), the National Science Foundation and a variety of University of Minnesota partners.

Cutterbar for everyday use.
Performance enhanced by technology.
With a cutterbar width of 2.1 m, the CROP TIGER is ideal for small rice paddies where the turning circle of the machine is one of the most important factors. Spring type reel tines and the auger with retractable fingers optimise the crop flow towards the feeder housing after cutting and thus make for a smooth crop movement into the threshing area. A right-hand-side crop divider and crop lifter are fitted as standard.
Slip clutch – less maintenance.
To prevent the damage to cutterbar components in the event of an overload, a safety arrangement in the form of a slip clutch mechanism is provided. For different crop conditions, the reel can be adjusted horizontally to maintain a uniform crop feed into the knife section. The belt drive of the knife assembly ensures minimum vibrations and smooth operation.

Microsoft Word's loathsome Clippy, the Crazy Crab of application mascots, is making a comeback. Yes, really. Killed off in 2007, Microsoft is now using him as the tutorial host introducing you to the wonders of the latest round of whatever useless bloatware they're heaping on Office.
Ribbon Hero 2: Clippy's Second Chance - a video game - is now available for download, if you're a masochist. Quoth Microsoft:
Yes, we turned Office into a game! If you're going to spend time immersed in the inner workings of Office, by golly it should be fun. [...] Discover new Office features by actually using them, with a hint button to fall back on in case you get stuck. Race for a high score with colleagues, classmates and friends, or even put your score on your resume to show off your Office skills!
For those of you who have been paying attention, we've done this before. That's how we got the "2" on the end of the title. So what's different? *deep breath* Clippy, comic strips, colorful graphics, surprise animations, multiple levels, time travel, upside-down Clippy, space ships, Greek Gods, bow-and-arrow battles, and a ton of useful Office features.
Fine, awesome. If Clippy wants to prove he's atoned for his sins, he can guide me through three levels that answer these simple questions:
• How the fuck do I turn off the automatic hyperlinking every time I enter a web address. Hold on, wait, wait - no, wait a fucking minute, NO DON'T OPEN THE GODDAMN BROWSER. Fuck! This is a word processor not Internet Explorer 4!
• God fucking dammit, I want to set Times New Roman 12 as my default typeface. No, open the goddamn document with Times New Roman 12 as the starting typeface. FUCK OFF GENEVA. How the fuck do I do this?! Where are the preferences? What the fuck!
• Jesus fucking Christ, you piece of shit, quit changing the goddamn font and text size and indenting it every time I backspace. STOP IT. STOP IT. How the fuck do I stop that?

SCHP: Chase starts in Georgia, ends with crash in S.C.
A police chase that started in Georgia ended with a crash in South Carolina on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, Tommy Crawford, 43, of Hartwell, Ga., was attempting to elude police on Interstate 85.
Crawford lost control and hit the left side of a bridge then the right side before skidding to a stop in the grass, according to Troopers.
Crawford was wearing a seat belt and was taken by ambulance to Oconee Memorial hospital, said troopers.
According to Lt. Chris Carroll with the Hart County Sheriff's office, the pursuit started in Hartwell, went up Providence Church Road and onto I-85.
The driver got off on Exit 2, then back on I-85 southbound, before losing control of the vehicle, said Carroll.
According to Carroll, Crawford fled after a domestic violence incidence at his residence.
No charges have been filed yet, and Hart County and S.C. Highway Patrol are working on it. Crawford is facing multiple charges, the most serious being felony fleeing, said Carroll.

Malaysia Airlines widow 'disgusted' by novel about plane mystery
The wife of a New Zealander who was aboard the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is "disgusted" at the release of a fictional account of the mystery.
Three months after the jet vanished on a flight to Beijing with 239 people on board, New Zealand author Scott Maka has released the thriller novella MH370, an e-book.
Danica Weeks, the wife of missing New Zealander Paul Weeks, said releasing a book so soon after the tragedy and without information on what happened made her angry.
It was hurtful to the families of the people on board the flight, Ms Weeks said.
"I'd rather they'd put their efforts to helping them find the truth, to be honest," she said. "We're going to be spending the rest of our lives doing that."
Ms Weeks said people wanting to write books and make movies about the mystery should wait until they had all the information.
The author, with the pen name Scott Maka, said he never intended for the relatives of the missing families to be the book's audience or even find out about it.
"I wasn't writing it for the families," he said.
Mr Maka, who is based in Malaysia, said he wanted to apologise to Ms Weeks.
"I'm saddened to hear that she's reacted like that, I'm upset that she's upset."
The author acknowledged the book's publication came amid controversy sparked by US and Indian studios working on MH370 films.
He said he decided to write the novella after a "hair-raising" Air Asia flight between Malaysia and Vietnam just a week after the aircraft's disappearance.
"I was damn scared. Flying doesn't usually bother me, but knowing that another aircraft had just vanished on the same flight-path made me very, very jittery."
During his flight the communications consultant and former journalist turned his thoughts to possible causes for the MH370 disappearance, he said. Before his flight landed he came up with a "fascinating scenario", which he decided to turn into a book, which was released today.
The book, Maka's first to be published, has already had hundreds of downloads.
The 45-year-old described the novella as "a twist-type thriller" focusing on a female passenger's involvement in international intrigue.
Meanwhile, Ms Weeks is supporting a crowd-funding campaign to pay for private investigators and reward whistleblower information about the disappearance of MH370 with more than $5 million cash.
Ms Weeks said the families of the missing passengers had received little information from Malaysian Authorities and they were sick of waiting on the official investigation.
"We've lost trust so we've thought outside the box."
Ms Weeks said she hoped someone came forward with a positive lead on what happened to the plane. Finding the plane and finding out what happened would give families the closure they needed, she said.
"We're desperate, we need to try anything."

ASHBURN, Va. >> Washington Redskins free safety Brandon Meriweather's dangerous habit of leading with his helmet will cost him two games, the latest sanction from a league determined to make the game safer by discouraging blows to the head.
The NFL announced Monday that Meriweather will be suspended for this week's game against the Denver Broncos and the following game against the San Diego Chargers, a severe blow to a struggling defense as the Redskins try to recover from their poor start to the season.
Meriweather has the right to appeal. If he does, an expedited hearing will be held this week and a ruling issued before the Broncos game.
He was flagged twice for hits on defenseless receivers in Sunday's 45-41 win over the Chicago Bears, in the third quarter for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Alshon Jeffery in the fourth quarter for a helmet-first hit to the head and neck area of Brandon Marshall.
In announcing the suspension, the league cited Meriweather's status as a repeat offender. He was fined $42,000 for a helmet-first hit on Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy in Week 2, forcing Lacy out of the game with a concussion. Later in that same game, another helmet-first hit left Meriweather with a concussion, knocking him out of the game.
The two-game suspension will cost Meriweather $141,176 in salary. He will not be allowed to participate in any football activities with the team during the suspension.
Meriweather said after Sunday's game that he thought both hits against the Bears were legal. He said he's tried to change his game to suit the NFL's tackling rules.
"I wasn't trying to be dirty. I wasn't trying to hurt nobody," he said. "I didn't lead with my, didn't launch with my head. I used my shoulder like they told me to do."
Coach Mike Shanahan said earlier Monday that he didn't think Meriweather would be suspended.
"I think he knows exactly what he has to do," Shanahan said. "And sometimes the intent there's no intent there sometimes you hit a guy a little bit higher than anticipated. Even the last one, he came to the sideline and says, `Hey, one guy told me it was a good hit and the other official told me he saw it differently.' So there's a lot of different interpretations of it, and at the end of the day we'll find out."
The suspension could leave the Redskins without their two starting safeties when they face Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Strong safety Reed Doughty suffered a concussion Sunday when the Bears attempted an onside kick in the fourth quarter. He will have to pass the league's required tests before he can be cleared to play next week at Denver.
The Redskins are already thin at safety. Rookie Phillip Thomas was lost for the season with an injury during training camp, and rookie Bacarri Rambo lost his starting job after struggling in the first two games.
The only other safeties on the roster are Jose Gumbs, who has played in two NFL games, and Trenton Robinson, who was signed last week.
Washington is ranked 24th in the NFL against the pass and gave up 24 second-half points Sunday against a backup quarterback.
Shanahan was asked how he would manage if he doesn't have Meriweather and Doughty.
"Not a whole lot you can do about it," Shanahan said, "except prepare the best way you can."

What is often considered a paramount LGBT Hamptons occasion, the 2011 Hetrick-Martin Institute annual summer benefit, "School's Out," will take place on Saturday, June 11, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the magnificent East Hampton home of Peter Wilson and Scott Sanders.
The institute's 12th "School's Out" will commemorate the conclusion of the school year at The Hetrick-Martin Institute and Harvey Milk High School. The event serves as an opportunity for adherents of the agency to celebrate the accomplishments and recognize the challenges of the past year. Presently, the institution benefits over 1,500 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) young people.
This year's party is supported by an illustrious roll of LGBTQ influentials: Giorgio Armani, Bravo's Andy Cohen, PR king James LaForce, Kipton Cronkite, Hugo Boss' Ward Simmons, Daniel Silver of Duckie Brown, and author Robert Zimmerman. Bobby Graham, Matthew Kelleher, and Brendan Monaghan make up the 2011 host committee, and Rugby Ralph Lauren is the premiere sponsor. The evening's music will come from the delightful DJ Donna D'Cruz.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities for the event are available online and range from $250-10,000.
The Hetrick-Martin Institute was founded on the belief that all young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment to reach their full potential. It remains the oldest and largest non-profit, multi-service agency dedicated to LGBTQ youth. It provides a broad range of vital programming, which includes educational services for at-risk youth in the Harvey Milk High School as well as individual, group, and family counseling; services and case management for homeless and at-risk youth; social and cultural activities; health and wellness activities; and career exploration and youth leadership through the after school services department.

BOSTON — Justin Ruggiano, Mike Olt and Welington Castillo hit two-run homers to power the Chicago Cubs to a 16-9 victory over the Boston Red Sox last night, completing a three-game interleague series sweep.
Ruggiano drove in five runs, Darwin Barney had four hits and Nate Schierholtz added a solo homer for Chicago, which won for the sixth time in seven games away from Wrigley Field and posted its first interleague sweep of three or more games since taking three from Cleveland in 2009.
It was the Cubs' first interleague sweep on the road since winning three against the crosstown rival White Sox in 2007.
Mookie Betts hit his first major league homer for the Red Sox, who lost for the ninth time in 13 games.
Red Sox DH David Ortiz became the 36th player in major league history to collect 1,000 extra-base hits with a ground-rule double.
Boston had its streak of holding an opponent to three or fewer runs in 14 straight home games snapped, the longest single-season stretch since the 1917 White Sox did it in 20.
Unlike the first two games of the series when the teams combined for five runs and Boston was held hitless for 7 2-3 innings in the opener, there was plenty of offense to force both starting pitchers out early.
The teams combined for nine runs in the ninth inning — Chicago scored six — in a game that took 4 hours, 19 minutes.
Carlos Villanueva (4-5) allowed two runs in two innings of relief for the win.
Red Sox starter Brandon Workman (1-2) allowed six runs and five hits in four innings. Travis Wood lasted just 3 2-3, giving up three runs and seven hits.
The Cubs jumped ahead 3-0 before making an out in the first. Ruggiano homered off a billboard above the Green Monster seats after Chris Coghlan drew a leadoff walk. Anthony Rizzo walked, stole second and scored on Starlin Castro's single. Workman then struck out Luis Valbuena, bringing a loud mock cheer from the sweltering crowd.
Boston's Jonny Gomes had a sacrifice fly before Chicago built its lead to 6-1 in the fourth. Olt hit his two-run homer into Monster seats and Barney tripled and scored on Coghlan's sacrifice fly.
Ortiz had a sacrifice fly and Gomes an RBI single, slicing it to 6-3, but Castillo homered into the center-field bleachers off reliever Felix Doubront in the fifth.
Betts homered into the Monster seats. Schierholtz homered in the eighth when many of the sellout crowd had already left.

There is no shortage of stories, speeches, quotes and advice about the value of following one's dreams.
In his 2005 commencement speech to Stanford University, the late Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, said, "...Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become."
But following your passion can sometimes seem indulgent and risky.
While it may not be for everyone, there can be value in choosing an advanced degree based on what feeds your soul and not what satisfies the expectations of others.
Take a good look
Gale Stam, interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and College of Management and Business at National Louis University, feels there is great value in pursuing one's passion. She does, however, suggest considering the passion from all sides before jumping in with zeal.
"It's important to consider that this will be part of the rest of your life," Stam says of the decision to pursue an advanced degree and possibly a career change. "You want to do something that you get a lot of self satisfaction from."
Part of making the decision to follow one's heart involves not just asking some tough questions, but answering them honestly.
A good question to ask yourself, Stam says, is if you are living with enjoyment or just living.
Sometimes following a passion does not equal a solid career move or job choice, but in talking to others or working with a counselor at a college or university you might find an avenue that taps into that area of interest. While financial concerns are valid, Stam says to consider whether money will bring happiness.
Mark Sabbe endured 20 years working in a job in advertising he grew to hate.
When his dog died and his mom got cancer Sabbe took a closer look at his life.
"I finally realized I needed to make a change or be miserable. Life's too short, right?" he says. "I've always loved to cook and had been toying with the idea of going to culinary school for about 10 years or so. I actually just planned to take a few classes and learn a few things. I went to an open house at Kendall College and spent over an hour talking with Chef Instructor Dina Altieri. She was amazing and unbelievably inspiring. Mostly, she was supportive of a guy in his 40s looking to change his life. I applied to Kendall that day and gave notice at work the next Monday."
Worth the risk?
Part of the decision is having the courage to embrace the passion and not continue to sideline it as a hobby.
"It's a conscious decision to make a change," Stam says. "You do it because you want to engage in something that makes you happy. When (your passion) is secondary then you don't adequately get time to pursue it."
Despite the energy and conviction Stam has when talking about pursuing a passion, the psychology professor realizes it can sound kind of Pollyannaish, and life doesn't always align with loftiness.
She doesn't discount that it isn't always the right time to pursue a dream due to life changes, circumstances or financial situations. But, Stam says, today's degree programs, especially for adult students, are set up to help work within busy schedules.
Taking the first step to go back to school was "terrifying at first" Sabbe says.
"I walked away from a job I'd had for over eight years and a relatively steady income," he says. "The first time I put on my chef whites, I knew in my gut I'd made the right decision. School was tough, but it was ridiculously easy to throw myself into it. I never once looked back or regretted my decision."
Stam says a good assessment tool is to ask yourself, circumstances aside, what you would do if you could do anything.
"You need to be able to love your job," she says. "Otherwise it's a grind. When you love your job you wonder what today is going to bring."
The long road
Stam doesn't just offer follow your passion advice on a soapbox. She has lived it and is quick to caution that following a passion isn't always an easy route.
While pursuing her master's, Stam fell in love with linguistics and knew she wanted to do something to focus in that area. It took her 20 years to achieve her PhD while working full time and getting waylaid by life.
"I persevered," she says. "I wouldn't have been able to do it if I wasn't passionate about it."
For Sabbe it took time and life change to convince him to make the move he considered for about 10 years. Through an accelerated program he graduated from Kendall in 2011 and is now a sous-chef at Mercat a la Planxa in Chicago and is responsible for ordering and inventory for both Mercat and the Blackstone Hotel's banquet group.
His favorite part of the job — being called "chef".
"Seriously, I love that I'm in a kitchen all day and I love that my presence in this kitchen makes a difference," he says.
Out of the blue
Passion can be brewed and pursued over decades, but sometimes it catches people off guard.
After 18 years with the temp agency Kelly Services and eight working in Chicago's real estate market, a trip to Africa sparked Diane Dammeyer's interest in photography. She noticed her photos from the trip stood out among those of her fellow travelers.
With the intent to learn more about photography, Dammeyer walked to Columbia College and signed up for one class. One class turned into a full course load and then three years taking all the photography classes the college has to offer.
"It was the hardest thing I've ever done, career wise," Dammeyer says. "I had no previous experience to apply to this."
Dammeyer was also working for a non-government organization helping those in need and realized she couldn't do both. She decided instead to combine them — focusing her school projects on giving a voice to those in poverty.
Dammeyer turned her passions into a focus and considers herself a "philanthropic photographer" traveling the world capturing photos, mostly of children.
"I am surprised at where I am now," Dammeyer says. "But the minute I started doing portraits I was drawn to the faces of children. They are so open. It really didn't matter where I was. There's such hope and happiness no matter their circumstances. Sometimes their sadness told a story too."
What started out as a curiosity ended up being something Dammeyer pursued with a ferocity.
"I didn't really question if it would be hard or not hard. My passion led me down this road. I just kept answering a question," she says. "It is my passion. I give a voice to children wherever they are and let the viewer decide the story."
It has been 16 years since Dammeyer finished her photography degree and she continues to volunteer her time taking photos for a number of agencies and has been to all seven continents for work and private travel.
"It took an enormous amount of courage," Dammeyer says of following her passion. "Thank goodness I didn't know what I was doing."
Dammeyer's work can be seen in the library at Columbia College Chicago, 624 S. Michigan Ave., through Dec. 21.

Millionaire households in the U.S. finally succeeded last year in clambering past the 2007 prerecession high of 9.2 million to 9.6 million households, Spectrem reported Thursday.
This was an increase of some 600,000 from 2012.
The number of millionaire households, in terms of net worth excluding primary residence, had been creeping up since 2008, Spectrem noted in its Affluent Market Insights Report 2014.
The new report was based on monthly online research Spectrem conducted with more than 12,000 investors with net worth of at least $100,000 not including primary residence.
It showed that all wealth segments experienced large increases from 2012 to 2013.
Mass-affluent households, with a net worth between $100,000 and $1 million, grew to 29 million, an increase of 500,000 investors over 2012.
Households with a net worth between $1 million and $5 million reached 8.4 million, 440,000 more than in 2012.
Ultrahigh-net-worth households, with a net worth between $5 million and $25 million, reached 1.1 million, an increase of 85,000 since 2012.
The number of the wealthiest households, with a net worth of more than $25 million, hit 132,000 in 2013, up 15,000 from a year earlier.
"Most of the financial damage done by the recession has been erased by recent record-high markets in 2013 as well as continued rebound in the real estate markets," Spectrem Group president George Walper said in a statement. "In terms of the affluent investor, it is fair to say they have finally recovered from the economic downturn."
Sixty percent of investors with a net worth of $5 million or more intended to invest in equities in 2014, according to Spectrem, and 31% of investors with a net worth between $100,000 and $1 million intend to do so.
More than half of the $5 million-plus investors indicated they were willing to invest outside the U.S., with a growing number showing interest in China.

UCONN MEN'S BASKETBALL: Omar Calhoun's parents let their stars dim so his could shine
We've all heard the stories of overzealous parents living vicariously through their childrens' sports careers. You can see it on virtually any Little League or Pop Warner field, YMCA court or municipal ice rink, on any given day in any town in America.
However, Omar and Semara Calhoun can be forgiven if they take a rather hands-on approach in their kids' athletic endeavors. For one, their two kids -- Omar Jr., a freshman guard at UConn, and Sierra, a junior at Christ the King High in Brooklyn -- are elite talents. Omar was New York City's 2012 Gatorade Player of the Year who's now averaging 10.9 points per game in his first season as a Husky.
"Nothing he's done so far has surprised me," Omar Sr. said. "I can't wait to see how much he improves throughout the course of the season."
Sierra, meanwhile, recently scored the 1,000th point of her career and is one of the top Class of 2014 players in the country. Big programs like Duke, Notre Dame and -- of course -- UConn are all actively recruiting the 6-foot wing.
Then there's the fact that both Omar Sr. and Semara were once budding basketball stars themselves who wound up sacrificing their respective careers to raise their two children.
Semara Breland (she's a cousin of Mark Breland, the former welterweight boxing champ) was a star player at Murry Bergtraum High School in lower Manhattan back in the early 1990s. She could have easily landed a college scholarship, many agree, but pretty much stopped playing the sport after her junior year.
Why? Well, the following November, she gave birth to Omar Jr. She was 17.
Omar Sr., who had been a top, 6-foot-3 shooting guard at Bergtraum, was 20 when his son was born. He played briefly at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, but the weight of raising a kid (and, shortly, two kids) became too much and he effectively ended his hoops career, as well.
"It was definitely tough (raising two kids at such a young age)," Omar Sr. recalls. "It's still tough now. We just keep our faith in God, stay positive, do the right things, continue preaching high character and it'll work out for the better."
Omar Sr. and Semara still graduated from college -- Omar from St. Francis and Semara from Brooklyn College, with a Master's in education -- thanks to a network of family members who helped with the kids while they pursued their education.
"We made a conscious effort for us to get our degrees," Omar Sr. said. "We always knew that if your parents had a degree, it's more likely your kids are going to get a degree."
Semara got a job as a second-grade teacher, while Omar, with a degree in economics, was hired as a broker on Wall Street. He lost his job after the 2008 stock market crash and has since devoted himself almost entirely to helping Omar Jr. and Sierra with their basketball careers.
It's something he's proud of and for which he doesn't apologize -- even if some might feel he's a bit overbearing.
"I'm definitely blessed to be able to help (Omar) out, my daughter out, any time they have questions," Omar Sr. said. "With the experiences I had, they don't have to make the same mistakes I made. I'm always someone to talk to, in their corner...When you have kids, you only have a short period of time you're going to be able to stay with them. Sooner or later, they're off to college, so you try to spend as much time with them as possible."
Omar Jr. went off to UConn this past summer, even though the team was banned from postseason play this season due to recent low Academic Progress Rate scores.
"It was all about being there, with coach (Kevin) Ollie and coach (Jim) Calhoun," said Omar Sr. "They always kept in touch with us and him, explained the process to him. We just totally believed in the program and what those guys stand for, what they're all about."
Omar has had the typical highs and lows of a freshman, but he's third on the team in scoring and has scored 34 points (while hitting six 3-pointers) in the Huskies' last two games.
"I think I'm doing so-so, up and down," Omar Jr. said after Saturday's loss at Pittsburgh. "I feel like I'm getting better. I've had a good last two games, I've just got to keep progressing and getting better. I can do a lot on the court, but right now I'm trying to feel my way out, because I've got two guards (Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier) that slash and attack the rim. I've got to space out for them. I don't need to drive as much because they drive. I'm just trying to do what I can to help the team win."
Meanwhile, Sierra continues to attract the attention of all the top women's basketball programs. She's made unofficial visits to UConn and Duke, and while Omar Sr. says there's a "strong possibility" Sierra will end up a Husky, he noted that she's "building a nice relationship with coach (Chris) Dailey, coach (Geno) Auriemma, coach (Muffet) McGraw at Notre Dame and coach (Joanne) McCallie at Duke."
And through it all, no doubt, she'll be getting sound advice from her parents.

Art helps healing in Newtown (photos)
NEWTOWN -- It will take more than just an art show, or even a series of art shows, to heal Newtown.
But on Thursday, two months after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, at the Valentine's Day grand opening of the new HealingNewtown Arts Space, dozens of kids made bells and jewelry, created on-the-spot poetry and printed T-shirts as a couple of hundred people watched Yale's Whiffenpoofs sing African-American spirituals and other timeless classics.

Newtown singer-songwriter Jim Allyn sang with the Newtown Youth Choir to provide a backdrop for young dancers from the Newtown Center of Classical Ballet.
Li Liu of Cirque du Jour, a Bejiing-born acrobat, got Newtown kids spinning plates on sticks after performing her own feats of wonder to the tune of "El Condor Pasa," the most famous Peruvian folk song.
Artists who flew -- and drove -- in from as far away as Florida and Chicago for an opening that featured art they donated swapped stories with Newtown artists whose work hung right alongside.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and his wife, Cathy, stopped by. So did Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman and First Selectwoman Patricia Llodra.
Lots of Newtown residents smiled and laughed.
There was reason for optimism.
"It is comforting to know that you're not alone," said Newtowner Carolyn DePasquale, whose husband, Adam, is one of the pastors of the Walnut Hill Community Church in Bethel. She said she came to the grand opening "just to be a part of the community."
It made DePasquale feel good "to think that all these people were thinking of us when they made these things," she said as she walked around the new HealingNewtown Arts Space in the former Ace Hardware space.
Earlier, Jennifer Johnson, chairwoman of the Newtown Cultural Arts Commission, which created the Arts Space at 5 Queen St. with support from the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut and the state Department of Economic and Community Development's Connecticut Office of the Arts, had explained that the purpose was to lift people's spirits and help promote healing.
"At a difficult time like this, it is important for all of us to realize the important role art can play" in healing, Johnson said.
And for DePasquale, at least, it was working.
Ditto for Jen Meyer and Jill Baimel and their children, Ellie Meyer and Jack Baimel, both 8. They all stopped in at the HealingNewtown Arts Space opening -- where Jill Baimel was among the exhibitors -- after attending the March for Change in Hartford.
"It's great," said Jen Meyer, who said what brought her there was "just curiosity. We were touched by all the things that people donated" to the town in the wake of the tragedy, she said.
"It's nice that it's brought people together," Meyer said.
