2017 Annual Report
Sandy Spring Friends School completed its fifty-fifth year by graduating its largest senior class in memory. While experiencing the same "market pressures" as all independent schools, colleges, and universities, SSFS continues to thrive as a result of a committed faculty and staff, a supportive community, diverse and talented students, and the guidance of a skilled Board of Trustees.
The School is guided by the Friends testimonies and the 300+ year tradition of Quaker education. SSFS identifies these five "pillars" that distinguish its unique form of education:
- Inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning
- Experiential learning via projects and programs
- Teachers as life mentors
- The campus as a classroom and outdoor laboratory
- An intentional commitment to community as a catalyst for growth
These elements, worded as they are, seek to translate a spirit-based learning inspiration into language for a culturally, socio-economically, religiously, and intellectually diverse community of students and families.
Some highlights from the past school year are noted:
- The conclusion of successful facilities sharing with Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting as they wrapped up a long-term construction project.
- A 2016-2017 enrollment that topped 600 students, with some grade levels now at capacity. This is the largest enrollment in the School's history and close to our target maximum enrollment.
- The successful addition of a 3-year-old pre-kindergarten program.
- Solidifying design and engineering work for a much-needed and environmentally sound upper school academic building
- Initial design work for an expansion of our campus Meeting House to allow Meeting for Worship in this historic building to remain at the heart of the (now larger) Upper School
- A burgeoning and diverse summer program that will serve over 1500 campers this
- summer.
- An enlarged and successful school farm operation that provides local produce for the community as was recently featured in Net Assets magazine.
- Expansion of our annual "Earth Stewardship Day" into a day-long, school-wide learning event that melded cultural competence with environmental activism, known as "Our People, Our Planet."
Meeting for Worship, Continuing Revelation, and seeking that of God in each person remain at the core of student and staff experience, as is the sense that SSFS serves as a change agent in the world. We continue to seek ways to shape a better collective future in a time when that challenge appears more daunting than ever. SSFS continues to seek ways to model civil discourse and converting tensions into sources of creativity and connection. This work, undertaken in partnership with young people maturing in an economically and politically tumultuous world, remains the most important work of all educators.
Visitors to campus are encouraged to stop by the new stone and ceramic mosaic near our front entrance which includes a quote (slightly paraphrased) from George Fox, to the travelers on the ship "Welcome" as it embarked on William Penn's holy experiment in the New World: "Tend the garden in you heart, and by walking in the Light, your vines and lillies will thrive."
2016 Annual Report
Sandy Spring Friends School recently completed its fifty fourth year, still deeply committed to helping each student discover the "still small voice" within, committed to being an agent for social justice, seeking ways to fulfill our mission as a Quaker school and community, and guided by the Testimonies.
We continue to live within creative tensions among the realities of being a tuition driven institution, a Friends community, and a student/parent community that celebrates the diverse cultural and faith traditions of our students, staff, and parents. SSFS continues to strive to accomplish goals that at times may seem to be in conflict; to offer the highest quality environment for educating young people, to keep the school financially accessible for families across the socioeconomic spectrum, to continue to grow the school's enrollment, to maintain the intimacy of close learning relationships between students and teachers, and to safeguard the School's long-term stability.
The School's 2012 Strategic Plan identified these four broad goals:
- Advance our educational program to meet 21st century needs and skills
- Maintain and strengthen our Quaker identity and values
- Promote and support excellent teaching
- Adopt a sustainable business model supported by a culture of philanthropy.
These goals continue to guide the work of the School. Toward these ends, this report highlights the following ongoing efforts:
- Continued nurturing of the relationship between Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting and the School
- An increased effort to, as much as possible, be a data driven institution that has expanded it use of analysis tools to inform financial, academic, and staffing decisions
- An increased emphasis on professional development in order to support the highest quality teaching
- Design and fundraising efforts in anticipation of the construction of an Upper School academic facility that is equal to the quality of the academic program.
- Ongoing efforts to strengthen our individual and institutional cultural competence, making SSFS a school that is welcoming and nurturing for all, independent of anyone's culture, faith, gender identity or preference, relationship status, age, sex, or other elements of personal identity
- Continued efforts to control cost increases, develop philanthropic support, and seek alternative sources of revenue in order to minimize pressure on tuition increases.
As this report is being written, in July 2016, we are confronted by ongoing tensions, violence, and political divisiveness that seek to rend the fabric of our society. SSFS continues to believe that educating children and young adults in an environment that values diversity and individual expression, that advocates for constructive engagement, and that provides positive academic, creative, and physical challenges for its students will help bend the arc of history towards justice and peace.
Tom Gibian (Sandy Spring), Head of School
Report of Lou Harrington (Sandy Spring), BYM Board Representative
I am now entering my fifth year as one of your representatives to the Sandy Spring Friends School Board.
I have tried to be faithful in my attendance and attentive to the schools business.
When I first arrived on the Board the school had some enrollment concerns which have now been abated. The Upper School is fully enrolled. The school has added a 3 year old program and is on track in the planning for a new Upper School. Preuss Field is being upgraded. The school is leasing about 10 acres of farmland from the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission and will attempt to grow much of the food for the school through the farm operation. The students will be significantly involved in this endeavor. The summer camp program is going very well.
As with most private schools the issue of affordability is always an issue. How can we offer a quality Quaker-based education to the community and Quakers at a fee that they can afford? The School is providing significant financial aid to many of its students, so my advice to interested parents is to apply for financial aid on a timely basis and give the school the opportunity to serve your child or grandchild. It could be one of the most significant decisions that you can make for him/her.
We are blessed to have Tom Gibian as our Head of School. He is smart, articulate, enthusiastic and I believe, a gifted administrator. He is well versed in Quaker practices which serve to set the tone for the school.
I am pleased to report that the school appears to be in a very good place at this time and the future looks bright.
2015 Annual Report
2014 Annual Report
On June 14, 2014 Sandy Spring Friends School held its 52nd graduation. Seniors and their families, friends, teachers and supporters gathered outdoors under blue skies in front of the old Ashton Meeting House, which now resides at the center of our campus, for Meeting for Worship and graduation ceremonies.
Sandy Spring Friends School operates under the care of both the Baltimore Yearly Meeting and Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting. It is a Pre-K through 12th grade college preparatory independent school with a 5- and 7-day boarding option in the Upper School.
This year, Sandy Spring Friends School enrolled 535 students, approximately 10% of whom are Quakers. We value diversity: over 40% of us are students of color. We seek economic diversity through a generous financial aid program, which has been supported for decades by the Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting. We consider it a priority to enroll Quaker kids and enroll Quaker faculty.
We are stewards of our environment where we generate 30% of our electricity from a 4-acre ground mounted solar array.
While we place great value in our traditions, we also feel the responsibility to discern how Way Opens for educating our children in the 21st Century. A Sandy Spring Friends School education is global, technology-enabled and experiential. Students can take Mandarin, participate in model UN, star in musicals, make robots, compete on the pitch, travel abroad, volunteer, become interns. The list goes on and on.
One thing Sandy Spring students do is learn to sit quietly in Meeting for Worship, which is part of the weekly schedule for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Our community recognizes the importance of listening to each other, respecting differences, resolving conflicts peacefully, placing truth over winning arguments.
We are excited about the future.
2013 Annual Report
As Sandy Spring Friends School begins our fifty-second year, we continue to seek ways to fulfill our mission as a Quaker school and community, guided by the Testimonies and seeking to recognize that of God in each student. As an independent, religiously-affiliated school, SSFS lives in a creative tension among the realities of being a tuition-driven (i.e. market-driven) institution, a spiritual community grounded in the Friends testimonies, and a student/parent population that comes to SSFS from many faith traditions. SSFS is an outstanding school with a vibrant, dynamic community, challenged by national economic pressures on the cost of education, a lackluster economy, a competitive independent school landscape, and an ongoing desire to keep a Friends education affordable for students from all socio-economic segments of our greater community.
The School and its Board of Trustees finalized a new strategic plan in the spring of 2012. This plan focuses on four broad goals. These strategic areas illuminate our work at all levels of the School:
Advance our educational program to meet 21st century needs and skills
Maintain and strengthen our Quaker identity and values
Promote and support excellent teaching
Adopt a sustainable business model supported by a culture of philanthropy.
Much work at the School has gone into understanding and articulating our strengths and appeal to prospective families. Parents in the Washington, DC area have many quality choices for educating their children, and yet we continue to believe that SSFS provides a unique and special environment for children. We offer an academic and supportive environment in which students can explore, create, grow, and discover the ways that they will make a difference in the world. Our boarding program, and its ability to draw students from around the globe, provides all students a unique preparation for a world that is increasingly multicultural and requires a global understanding. We believe that a Friends education is needed to meet the world's challenges, today more than ever. The challenge for us is to concisely communicate the richness and nuance of a SSFS education, amid an information stream that threatens to overwhelm parents seeking the right educational environment for their child.
Our graduates enter work and higher education environments that are increasingly facilitated by communications technology of all kinds. Wireless devices, smart phones, internet-based resources, and tablet computers are rapidly becoming the tools of colleges, universities, professional practices, and work environments. SSFS seeks to provide students not only practical skills with these technologies, but also a moral compass to use these technologies creatively, ethically, as change agents, and in harmony with their world. To this end, SSFS has become a "wireless" campus and developed a pilot program for classroom use of iPads for the 2012-2013 school year, and is expanding that effort for 2013-2014.
The School has reached a point where its original classroom building, Moore Hall, no longer meets the educational needs of the Upper School (high school). Conversations are underway to design an upper school facility that will support the academic needs of the School for the foreseeable future. The School and its Board are committed to developing facilities that meet a very high standard for energy use and other environmental impacts while remaining within the School's financial means. More broadly, the School seeks to create a facility that affirms and reflects the full spectrum of the School's values and culture.
The School seeks renewable and sustainable practices in a number of ways. Fall of 2012 brought completion of a solar photovoltaic facility that meets a substantial percentage of the School's electricity needs in a sustainable, zero-emissions way. The School has expanded its farm program, with approximately two acres now under organic cultivation by a professional farmer. We are nearing the end of the second season of local food production for our dining hall and delivering surplus produce to local markets. The School has received formal recognition from Montgomery County for its waste reduction and composting programs, and we have systematically increased the efficiency of HVAC and lighting systems across campus.
Meeting for Worship continues to be an anchor for students and staff at all grade levels. Students participate in meeting at least once per week and often twice per week. Moments of silence continue to be a common SSFS practice for starting meetings and classes. Quaker history and the Friends testimonies are part of our curriculum, both formally and informally, within the context of a multi-faith community. Most any student on campus would be able to describe the Quaker SPICES (Service, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, Stewardship). The School's Motto, "Let your lives speak," expresses a persistent and pervasive theme of a Sandy Spring education - helping students find their voice as agents for social justice and global peace. Students express their understanding of what it means to them to be a part of a Quaker school in a video produced during the 2012-2013 academic year and available online at www.ssfs.org/about/quaker-education/quaker_video/.
The School and Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting have renewed their commitment to a mutually supportive relationship grounded in shared goals and spirit-led inquiry. The School benefits greatly from its connection to SSMM and from the efforts of Board members appointed by SSMM and BYM. These efforts are aided by interconnections among faculty members and families that are members of the Meeting, and Head of School Tom Gibian who grew up in Sandy Spring and remains an active Friend. Relationships are a journey, not an end, and so the common journey of our cluster of Friends organizations continues to mature.
As your representatives from the Yearly Meeting to the Sandy Spring Friends School Board we are well aware of our responsibilities to the Yearly Meeting and the wider Quaker community. We will continue in our efforts to assist the school and its leadership as it strives to accomplish our highest Quaker ideals.

Canada, college, Needs, philosophy, Questions, Reason, student life, Truth
Becoming employed and working is imminent. The way we function is based off of our basic human needs: to sleep in a warm home, eat food, bathe and be socially acceptable, and defecate on a toilet in a warm place (no one likes a cold seat). It doesn't take a genius to tell what your survival needs are, but the very essence of acquiring these needs could be further analyzed.
We live in a world where the need for acquiring money has become primal; to eat, we need money, to sleep, we need money, to poop, we need money. Our world is ran by money, and regardless of how stubborn and ignorant you are, you are a slave– you are a slave to yourself, and by this, a slave to your nation.
CNC held a job fair today, and by all means I was happy, and even looking for a job for myself, but when I spoke to the Student Union about signing a petition for affordable education, the idea of financial instability erupted in my brain and I started to question the essence of this burden. Where is my money going? Why do I need money? Who do I need it for? What for? Why am I still working at my current job? What is the point of wasting so much time working in a place I don't want to? Simple answer: I work to get an education, and do something better, but is this true? Sure, I'll be working in a new environment, maybe some place better, but does that still change the very essence of work? This is where my questions came to a halt. We can complain about our work, quit if we want, but will that stop us from getting a new job or trying to obtain money? No, it won't.
We NEED money to fulfill our biological needs, and survive first as individuals, but once someone of authority becomes harnessed with this notion, we as human beings become easily manipulated. The will to live and the stress from death, motivates us to work and complain. We complain about life, work, unfairness, and poor wages, but when it really comes down to it we still desperately need that money, and regardless of this unfairness, we still work.
Scientific constants like time, gravity, and pi, are constant because they all have interchangeable presence through multiple perspectives, and by means of applying truth to these subjects we use scientific method to prove our correctness and to come to a consensus by reason. If science can declare constant, can society? Is work a social constant? Does anyone think work is a need? That we are slaves to ourselves and slaves to our nation? Does anyone disagree or angry with the politically incorrectness of my reasoning? If so, answer these simple questions.
Unfortunately, several human beings need money, but what would the world be like without it?

Information for Clients about Potomac Pathways' Billing Policies
Potomac Pathways is taking significant steps to reduce the costs of treatment, including negotiating "in‐network" status with insurance companies, and working compassionately with those patients who are uninsured. For many patients with insurance, however, individual insurance plans, including government insurance programs, may hold the patients responsible for a portion of Potomac Pathways' charges. A summary of Potomac Pathways' current billing policies is set forth below:
Insured Patients are Billed Deductibles, Co‐Insurance and Co‐Payments as Required by their Insurance Provider
Most insurance providers, with some exceptions, require Potomac Pathways to bill patients for any applicable deductible, co‐insurance and co‐payment amounts, as reflected on the explanation of benefits ("EOBs") or similar statements furnished by the insurer. These amounts are determined by your insurer, not by Potomac Pathways.
When Potomac Pathways is not contracted with an insurance plan, we will typically bill patients for the amount designated by their plan as the "patient's responsibility," including any balance remaining on the bill if the insurer pays less than the "usual and customary," "reasonable," or "allowable" charge (collectively, the "Allowable Charge") for the services provided.
The Allowable Charge is determined by your insurer and indicated on the explanation of benefits (EOB). Generally your insurer will mail you the EOB. Often you can view this information on your insurer's website, as well. If the full Allowable Charge is paid to Potomac Pathways by the insurer, patients will not be billed by Potomac Pathways.
Insurance Payments Made Directly to Patients
Some insurers may send the insurance payment for Potomac Pathways' services directly to the client. Clients that receive a check for services provided by Potomac Pathways are responsible for forwarding this payment to Potomac Pathways. Please write on the back of the check "Pay to Potomac Pathways," include a signature and mail to Potomac Pathways at the address below:
7945 MacArthur Blvd
Suite 214
Cabin John, MD 20818
If clients do not forward the payments to Potomac Pathways, Potomac Pathways may send these patients to an outside collection agency. For those insurance companies that engage in this policy and with whom Potomac Pathways is not contracted, Potomac Pathways is generally required to hold the patients responsible for any balances above the amount they received and remitted back to Potomac Pathways as payment for our services.
Patient Billing, Payment Support Options and Financial Support Program
Potomac Pathways understands that providing quality client care has a related cost, which in some situations may be burdensome for clients and result in some patients avoiding certain necessary services because they are concerned about the expense. Potomac Pathways is committed to delivering the best client care to all, and to meet this objective has established programs to ensure affordable access to Potomac Pathways' services.
The Company will send a Statement of Account to clients who are responsible for deductibles, coinsurance, co‐payments or other balance as set forth above. The following payment options, which are subject to change, may apply:
No Insurance. If you are not insured, Potomac Pathways may offer an uninsured rate. Please contact the main office for rates based on the services.
Payment Plan. Potomac Pathways may enter into a payment plan for outstanding balances; eligibility shall be individually determined.
All clients are encouraged to call Potomac Pathways' main office (301-987-7284) if they have questions or concerns about their bill.
All information subject to change without notice.

Farmers Union Quiz Bowl Encourages Youth to Think about Farm & Ranch Safety
– By SDFU Foundation
McCook Central FFA Chapter won the championship round of the Farmers Union Team Up for Safety Quiz Bowl held today during Farmers Union Day at the South Dakota State Fair in Huron.
McCook Central FFA Chapter is one of four FFA Chapters which placed in the Farmers Union Team Up for Safety Quiz Bowl held in conjunction with the 2016 South Dakota State FFA Convention this April in Brookings.
Team members of the McCook Central FFA Chapter include: Cole Grasma, Melissa Lauck, Jordan Scheier and Leslie Kolbeck: Other FFA Chapters who competed and their team members include: Viborg/Hurley FFA Chapter, team members include: Alison Knutson, Logan Slack, Abby Hora and Annie Wirth: Sunshine Bible FFA Chapter, team members include; Chris Hass, Evan Lopez, Shelby Belmare and Titus Deal: and the Lyman FFA Chapter, team members include; Sage Mowery, Conrad Mohr-Eymer, Eli Fanning and Grant Stewart.
Designed as a fun way to inform teens about farm safety, South Dakota Farmers Union hosts the Team Up For Safety Quiz Bowl Championship each year during the State Fair.
"This quiz bowl is a fun way for high school students to learn about safety on the farm or ranch," said Doug Sombke, South Dakota Farmers Union President, of the competition that asks FFA members questions on farm and ranch safety. "We hope with the information the quiz bowl focuses on they'll be prepared when faced with an emergency situation while doing potentially dangerous jobs on the farm."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 1 million youth, under the age of 20, live on farms in the U.S. Over half of them do farm-related work. Sombke points out that agriculture is often listed among the most dangerous occupations in America. Because of the large machinery they work with, along with chemical hazards, unpredictable livestock and enclosed spaces like grain bins that hold thousands of pounds of grain, farm workers face many risks.
FFA member Abby Hora says the more teens think about farm safety, the more likely they are to avoid accidents.
"Like me, many of my friends grew up on farms. It's important for teens to think about farm safety, especially when they visit farms they are not familiar with," explains Hora, a senior at Viborg/Hurley and vice president of the Viborg/Hurley FFA Chapter.
McCook Central FFA member, Jordan Scheier agrees. "Farm safety is especially important for South Dakota teens because we live in rural communities where at least once a year someone we know gets hurt really badly in a farm accident that could have been avoided."
Providing education to South Dakota farm and ranch families and rural communities is a cornerstone of South Dakota Farmers Union, explains Karla Hofhenke, SDFU Executive Director. "Youth are our future. Each year more than 3,000 youth participate in one of the many youth educational programs Farmers Union runs. Farm safety is often one of the many topics we cover because it's vital - for youth and adults," Hofhenke said.
Members of the winning team received a monetary prize.

E-book Updates
I'm always working to keep the e-books updated with current and correct information. I weed out publications that are no longer in business (or paying for submissions), add new possibilities, and so on. This week I've just updated the directory of paying markets for book reviewers. AND I've revised (and expanded) the primer on low-residency MFA programs. You can find them both here. Be sure to download the free previews!

Bat Conservation in Fiji
The Foundation has been working with Nature Fiji (one of the few conservation organizations in Fiji), since 2010 on conserving Fiji's bats – both mega bats and micro (insectivorous) bats, which are endangered due to loss of roost sites and excessive cave visitation. This was triggered by a visit to Fiji by Director Hugh Spencer and his friend Monica Bianchi, they visited Wailotua cave and were horrified by the attitude of the locals to the little flying fox, Notopteris, (Fiji's Blossom bat). The locals thought nothing of throwing stones at the bats in the cave to kill or injure them. AUSTROP funded one of their ex interns, Joanna Malotaux (from Holland) to work on developing community education material, as well as surveying the islands for other bat colonies (as their numbers appeared to be collapsing rapidly) – and for the locals they were regarded as food (even if only for ceremonial occasions). Dr Spencer joined Joanne and Kelera from Nature Fiji over Easter 2012 on a bat hunting expedition.
We are hoping to continue this association in 2014 on.
|This is the little 'blossom bat'
From Joanna's blog…
It's been waaay too long since I last posted an update, so I'm going to try to cram 6 weeks worth of adventures into a 1000-word blog post… bear with me ;) This one will be a bit more focused on the work I've been doing here, as I've been on a big field trip in the last couple weeks.
Hugh Spencer arrived on Easter Monday, which marked the start of a very intensive period. For those who haven't heard of him yet, he is the director of the Cape Tribulation Tropical Research Station, where I worked at 2 years ago during my travels through Australia. His foundation, the Austrop Foundation, is partly funding my internship here in Fiji. Hugh is a bat expert, and he came over for about two weeks to help me and Kelera out with several bat research techniques. During the first couple days we stayed on Viti Levu, surveying several batcaves, and collecting and assembling equipment for the trip to Taveuni. At the end of the week we departed for Taveuni, to search for the Fiji Flying Fox (Mirimiri acrodonta for the biologists). Taveuni is the third largest island in Fiji, and it is a beautiful place. It has lovely beaches, stunning reefs, scores of birds and a huge area of practically untouched rainforest covering its mountainous interior, with plenty of waterfalls, some even plummeting straight into the ocean. Yes, I'm positively in love with this island.
MiriMiri (Mirimiri acrodonta), this bat Guy Botroff
Anyway, back to business. A little bit of background information: the Fiji flying fox is one of 6 bat species in Fiji, but this is the only endemic species. It occurs only on Taveuni – as far as we know – and it has been captured (or seen) 5 times EVER. Three years ago, an Australian researcher spent 40 nights mist netting for the bat, and she caught only one individual. The Fiji Flying Fox has only been caught on top of Des Voeux Peak, the cloud-capped second highest mountain on Taveuni (1195m). The aim of our project was to see if it might also occur in lower-lying areas. Mistnetting by the way, is a technique for catching bats (or birds) – you suspend a net between two tall poles, or between two trees, you sit down, grab a drink, and wait for the bats to fly into the net.
We were planning to do several nights of mistnetting a bit further inland. However, we soon realized that we were not going to reach our objective during the limited time we had – there are barely any roads or tracks leading inland through the dense rainforest, and besides, we did not have the proper equipment, no camping gear, poles were not long enough, no ropes and slingshot, etcetera. Despite the big change of plans, the trip was quite useful. We visited two bat caves, and surveyed the small colonies of the Pacific sheath-tail bat (a small insectivorous species) that roosted there. Kelera and I also got some experience with mist netting, and we got to check out the island and make plans for further research.
And of course it wasn't just 'all work and no play', we took the time to go snorkeling, hiking and swimming at the waterfalls, and the field trips weren't bad either! We went up all the way to the top of Des Voeux Peak and were blessed with a beautiful view of the entire island – which is really rare, as it is a cloud forest, which pretty much means it's cloudy most of the time.
Oh, and what I didn't mention yet about Taveuni… it is the wettest place in Fiji. The village where we were staying receives on average 7 meters of rainfall anually (compare that to about 800 mm annually in the Netherlands!), while up in the mountains it's more than 10 meters per year! We were fairly lucky that it wasn't too wet during the first week we were in Taveuni. It often rained at night –not much fun during mist netting, although a bottle of rum makes the long wait in the pouring rain a lot more bearable! At the end of the week the downpour started, and it didn't stop for 2 days. We estimated we had about half a meter of rain during that time! The roads were blocked and flooded, so we were stuck in the village, which was not such a bad place to be. The lodge we stayed in was located on the beach in the village. 4 hours of electricity a day, no mobile phone signal in the village, except for under a coconut tree about 100 meters further down the beach. For 10 bucks, the local ladies made you a typical local dinner – taro or cassava, fresh fish, taro leaves, all cooked in coconut milk. While it rained and rained and rained we had lots of time to write, think and discuss about the plans for the Fiji Flying Fox, and we drew up a draft research plan for a radiotracking project. Who knows, I might have the chance to come back to Fiji for that some day!

The idea for writing this article came to me when I was having a conversation with my girlfriend at our kitchen table.
We were talking about losing body fat and she said the big killer for her and the ladies she knows who are on diets, is the weekends.
For some unknown reason, weekends seems to throw everybody off track when it comes to their weight training workouts and eating habits.
Let's face it, the weeks are tough. You go to school or work each and every day, you come home and spend time with your family and than you hit the weights for a couple of hours, by the time you go to bed, your physically and emotionally exhausted.
You repeat this same pattern from Monday to Friday. By the time the weekend comes, you sleep in until 9:00 PM, you have a cup of coffee and lounge around for a bit, you miss your early morning meal, and when you finally decide to eat it's more of a brunch than a breakfast.
However, with no meals planned, your more likely to eat whatever is at hand. You might be lucky to eat 3 meals on each day of the weekend and let's face it, those meals aren't going to be healthy.
I know, the weekends present different circumstances than the week days do.
You may have social engagements to attend, you may have barbecues to go to, you may have a concert to go to, you may have birthdays to attend, and everything else that happens during this time.
All that matters is that your normal pattern is broken during the weekend.
We've all been there. I know I have, and it's taken me a little while to discover that you need to be prepared for the weekends, just like you have to be prepared for the weekdays. I mean, when I was younger, the weekends meant barbecues and parties. The way I looked at it, was that I worked hard all week long and I deserved a break on the weekends to relax and to have a good time. Whew! I did more harm than good.
Really, we sabotage ourselves on the weekends. We train hard all week and watch our diets to a tee but on the weekends, we let everything go and by the time Monday comes around, we find ourselves starting all back over. We can sometimes even find ourselves in worse positions than the previous week. I mean we could be heavier (or skinnier), weaker and more out of breath than the previous week - Depending on what you did that weekend.
Let me be very clear about this.
Yep, its the weekends that separates those of use who succeed with our training and diet, than those of us who dont. I realized this the hard way and only when I made the change to really watch my diet and training on the weekends did my strength, and muscle gains sky rocketed. I vividly remember, forcing myself to stay in on the weekends and concentrate on my diet and training, back in university that I noticed what affect this had on my body (and mind).
I also noticed what happened when I let everything go and partied it up all weekend. My body felt horrible the following week, and I was actually in a worse position than the previous week. My body was dehydrated, my nutrient levels were way down, and my body was weaker. When I did finally get my body back on track, it would be mid week and really, I missed out on 5 days of progress.
Let me say that its the weekends that you rack up the progress points in your weight training, fat loss, and/or fitness routines.
I hear it all the time;
More often than not, Im going to guess that a lot of these problems have to do with a persons weekends. Unchecked Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays can kill your gains faster than a torn pec muscle (or can lead to a torn pec!). Its what you do on the weekend that can make the biggest difference to your weight training or fitness program. Do the right thing, and youll make the biggest gains. Do the wrong thing and youll lose most of your hard earned gains.
Heres what I suggest:
- Get organized. I used to have a weekend plan in place and I would force myself to stick to it. I would have my diet and menu in place and the foods I needed to for that weekend. I would also have a food cooler in hand at all times. If I knew that my girlfriend and I were going to take a little trip, Id fill the cooler up with healthy foods and snacks. This way, I knew that Id stay away from fast food joints.
- Be consistent in your diet like you would be on week days. Do you ever notice that you eat at different hours on the weekend than you do on the week days? Try and keep to your regular hours because your body likes it that way.
- Dont stray too far from your regular schedule. Try and keep to your regular schedule on the weekends because this will force you to eat at regular intervals and help you keep on track with your diet.
- You simply cant make any gains by partying it up until 4 in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays, get up at noon and eat hang over food (junk food) all day. Try and keep your self in check and cut down on these kinds of weekends. I enjoy a beer every once in a while but I wont drink 15 beers at the bar. If I do go out, I keep myself in check and try and get back home at a decent hour. I know my workouts will suffer if I stay out all night.
- Plan for social gatherings. That can be weddings, birthdays, barbecues, parties, and any other gathering where youll know therell be all kinds of fatty foods. Ill usually have a healthy meal before I attend such events because that way, I dont eat everything in sight when Im at the buffet table. However, sometimes we cant help it and we do indulge in a big fat pork chop, or a 14 ounce t-bone. Chalk it up to a well deserved cheat meal but dont do it all weekend.
- If you find it difficult to work out on the weekends, try working out as soon as you get up. This way, I get my workout in for the weekend and I have the rest of the day to enjoy. You may want to think about working out strictly on the week days in order to have the weekend to spend with your family and friends or whatever else that you do.
- Did I mention to invest in a cooler? Yeah, a cooler is very important. If you know your going to be out all day Saturday, you can have all your protein drinks, sandwiches, vegetables, and fruit kept cool and fresh all day long. People used to think I was nuts carrying a cooler around with me all day, but you want to know something, I was huge and they werent so that was that.
- Above all, try and keep to a regular schedule on the weekends and dont stray too far from it. We all have things to do on the weekends like spend time with our families, go out with friends or whatever else you enjoy doing, but if you can manage to plan around these activities and keep on a regular schedule, youll be ok. Remember, plan for the weekend.
- Try using the weekends to experiment. For example, try using drop sets or giant sets to really mix things up. This will allow the body to adapt to something totally new which means more muscle growth.
Remember, if you can keep on progressing on the weekends with your weight training program, you will reach your goals in half the time.
I highly recommend you take a look at Kyle Leon's 9 week muscle building, fat burning program called "Somanabolic Muscle Maximizer". This program is the first of it's kind to feature body type profiling. That is, it will customize a complete nutritional and weight training plan based on the following factors:
- Age;
- Gender;
- Body type;
- Activity levels; And
- Metabolism
By using body type profiling, the program takes most of the guess work out of preparing a quality plan. I've actually purcahsed and used the program. It works and I suggest you take a look at it. Check out my review here.
To check the program out, click here to head on over to Kyle's site.

All the best,
As the owner of Building Muscle 101, I am committed to providing you the best practical weight training advice. I've been training for over 24 years (and still train to this day!) and the advice and guidance I provide comes directly from my experience and knowledge.

Ducks likely to give Fasth start against Wildby Curtis Zupke
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Anaheim Ducks goalie Viktor Fasth will make his second NHL start Friday night, if the morning skate is any indication.
Fasth came off the ice first ahead of Jonas Hiller and, if he plays, will likely go against Niklas Backstrom of the Minnesota Wild.
It would make sense given the back-to-back situation with the rival Los Angeles Kings coming to Honda Center on Saturday. Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau split Fasth and Hiller in the Ducks' first back-to-back sequence.
Boudreau certainly didn't tip his hand when asked about his goalie philosophy.
"Sometimes you can overthink it," Boudreau said. "Sometimes it's statistical in how goalies have done against teams in the past. There's a lot of little factors that go into it, and then you come up with a decision."
Fasth won in his Jan. 26 debut.
Suter fully healthy: Ryan Suter said he's closer to 100 percent after an illness that forced him to take intravenous fluids before a Jan. 27 game.
"I think I got food poisoning or something there," the Wild defenseman said. "I'm feeling better. I was throwing up on the plane ride back from St. Louis."
Suter and coach Mike Yeo both feel that Suter's game is coming around. He had two assists in that Jan. 27 game and played more than 30 minutes in an overtime game Wednesday.
"His last couple of games, he's been so good," Yeo said. "I thought even before that he was really starting to find his game. These are the things were talking about that we were starting to see in him, and every game it's been getting better and better."
Vatanen to make debut?: Defenseman Sami Vatanen came off the ice with the regulars and could make his NHL debut for the Ducks.
An offensive-minded defenseman from Finland, Vatanen was slowed by a foot injury, but he's been skating for a week and Anaheim would like to give him a look at some point.
"I watched him play in Norfolk [of the American Hockey League], and some nights he was outstanding and other nights he was average," Boudreau said. "If it's like the rest of the players … they pick their game up when they get to the NHL, it will be interesting to see, when he plays, what it will be like."
Zach Parise – Mikko Koivu – Dany Heatley
Matt Cullen –Mikael Granlund – Devin Setoguchi
Pierre-Marc Bouchard – Kyle Brodziak – Cal Clutterbuck
Torrey Mitchell – Zenon Konopka – Darroll Powe
Jared Spurgeon is moving closer to a return from a lower body injury but Yeo said he probably won't play Friday. Yeo said he will use the same lineup as the last game.
Matt Beleskey – Ryan Getzlaf – Corey Perry
Bobby Ryan – Nick Bonino – Teemu Selanne
Andrew Cogliano – Saku Koivu – Daniel Winnik
Emerson Etem – Rickard Rakell – Kyle Palmieri
Sheldon Souray – Francois Beauchemin
The pairing of Souray and Beauchemin was quite effective Tuesday against San Jose and Boudreau will continue with it for now.
"I thought it was Souray and Beachemin's best game of the year," Boudreau said. "For one night it worked. Until it happens 10 nights in a row, I don't put much thought into it."
Hometown product Emerson Etem will make his home NHL debut for Anaheim. Etem, from nearby Long Beach, Calif., said he will have about 16 family and friends in attendance. Etem on Tuesday became the 13th player in NHL history born and trained in Southern California to appear in an NHL game.

Early Alert Council
St. Ambrose University offers a wide range of services designed to promote student development and college success. Despite the availability of these services, students do not always connect to them.
The Early Alert Council (EAC) has been developed to intentionally and systematically respond to students who may be struggling. The purpose of this communication is to familiarize the campus community and our partners (family members) with this resource.
Referrals to the Early Alert Council
To submit an referral to the Early Alert Council, complete this secure, online form.
It is important to emphasize that information shared at the Early Alert Council does not become part of any student record and is not disciplinary in nature. Any outreach to students is done in a respectful and discreet manner. The sole focus of the Council is early detection and outreach to students who may be having difficulty or at-risk in some way.
What is the Early Alert Council (EAC)?
The EAC exists to provide an early awareness and coordinated outreach initiative for students who may be struggling with their academic and/or student life.
The EAC meets regularly and places a high priority on balancing a student's autonomy with the university's desire to respond appropriately to a student experiencing difficulty or expressing at-risk behaviors. Non-confidential information about such students is shared in a respectful manner among the members present. Confidential information which a student may share with a member of the Council is not shared at these meetings, assuring student confidentiality, dignity, and worth.
While the EAC cannot guarantee a positive outcome in all situations, faculty, staff and family partners can make use of the council to assist students experiencing difficulties. If a situation requires immediate intervention, the Security Department should be contacted at extension 6104 or (563) 333-6104.
The EAC is facilitated by Merredyth McManus, Director of Retention and comprised of:
- Jill Beinborn, director of advising, 563-333-5898
- Fr. Thom Hennen, Campus Ministry and university chaplain, 563-333-6151
- Sarah Oliver, director of counseling, 563-333-6423
- Maureen Baldwin, dean of student academic services, 563-333-6059
- Alyse Schmidt, learning disability specialist, 563-333-5878
- Beth Cook, director of reading and study skills, 563-333-6161
- Residence Life, 563-333-6258
- Brandi Ahlers, assistant director of transfer recruitment, 563-333-6310
Benefits of Early Identification and Outreach to Students
- Identification of appropriate means of intervention while issues are not yet in a critical state.
- Follow-up with student facilitating connectedness, a genuine sense of care and awareness of resources.
- Proactive identification of students in need of additional support or who may be in crisis. Crisis situations may be personal, physical, emotional/psychological, interpersonal, academic or spiritual in nature.
How to Contact the Early Alert Council
- Call or stop in to see any member of the Council
- Personal information of this nature cannot be guaranteed confidential over e-mail.
Any member of the community who knows of a student in suicidal crisis should contact the Counseling Center at extension 6423 or 563-333-6423 or Security at extension 6104 or 563-333-6104.
For more information about the Early Alert Council, contact the Director of Retention at 563-333-6481 or First and Second Year Experience at 563-333-5828.

Settings up your account is easy, and all it requires is to create an account, mail your first deposit in the form of a check, and call to activate your account. It's a quick and painless process, and after that, depositing money is as easy as logging into the ING Direct site and withdrawing money from your regular brick and mortar bank. You can even get a debit card that connects to your savings account with 4 free transactions per month. With all these features, I'll never let my money lie around in a low-interest savings account again.

So, here's the skinny:
My parents have ban me and my siblings from computer. They say that we can't go on the computer/internet for a week. Or more. So, I'll try to sneak on when I can. I promise! I know I've just joined and I want to be able to help... but my parents won't allow it, apparently. (Stupid spies.) Of course, the day I join...
NOTE: I'm not gone forever! Just a small hiatus!
Love you all,
~The Marvelous, the Mysterious, the Magnificant, Wise. :)Read more >

The growing demand for fresh fish has increased in recent years, and our oceans simply cannot produce enough to fulfil the current and increasing demand. Aquaculture, the cultivation of marine and freshwater finfish and shellfish, is one of the solutions to this demand.
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors in the world and forms a large part of the global solution to environmentally sustainable food production.
In a peak catch year, wild salmon can supply about one-third of the worldwide demand for salmon. While wild fisheries have seasonal availability, as well as limitations on the amount of fish caught, salmon ocean farms produce large amounts of consistent, high quality salmon year-round.
Aquaculture and salmon farming play an important role in the economies of the many areas that have transformed a popular food resource into a modern and competitive industry. The local and global economic benefits created by the aquaculture industry contribute to the value of salmon as well as the role it plays in a healthy and well-rounded diet.
The salmon farming industry often accounts for a large percentage of jobs in rural areas, which demonstrates that the industry aids rural economies by providing an answer to the common problems of economic development, stabilization of communities and loss of population.
Like any other food production industry aquaculture poses a certain level of risk to the environment, and, like these other agriculture production systems, ocean-farming must stand up to rigorous environmental evaluation. As a result, aquaculture, a relatively new and rapidly evolving form of food-production, has been the subject of many intensive environmental assessments.
These assessments have consistently found that aquaculture poses a low risk to the environment, and its environmental impacts are localized, temporary and fully reversible through natural processes. The industry continuously works with governments to ensure aquaculture remains a sustainable and well-managed component of the coastal economy and environment.
The minimal environmental risks of aquaculture are balanced by the benefits it provides, such as fulfilling a demand for fresh fish year-round. Farm-raised aquaculture species like salmon, shrimp, tilapia and catfish, to name just a few, represent one very important way to feed the world in the 21st century.
Jose Villalon, Director of WWF-US Aquaculture Program, says:
Farmed fish is an excellent source of protein and, when produced well, helps protect the environment. I am totally convinced that aquaculture is the most sustainable way to feed the world.
The quote above comes from WWFs website.
Seafood is one of the most healthy and popular sources of protein worldwide. Seafood is widely recognised as good nutrition by health authorities, dietary specialists and many others. As governments and food and health advisory bodies in Europe and the USA are actively encouraging their populations to include more fish in their diet, consumption of seafood globally is expected to continue to rise.
Almost half of the seafood eaten comes from farms, making aquaculture the fastest growing food production system in the world. All food production systems have an environmental impact; however, when done responsibly, aquaculture's impact on wild fish populations, marine habitats, water quality and society can be minimal. Aquaculture holds great promise to produce seafood of high quality and large volumes.

Dr. Mark Trudeau, D.C.
It's about time!" I exclaimed once the pain in my back was gone."
My Own Back Pain Was Healed
After seeing my medical doctor and physical therapists for years, my back pain never improved. Medication from my physician did more harm to my stomach and didn't give any relief for my back pain. It would have been nice to know then what I know now about health. It wasn't until my first year of my undergraduate degree that I decided to seek an alternative. That alternative was chiropractic care and I am forever grateful.
After a week of chiropractic care, my back pain was gone and has never returned. I continued with regular chiropractic treatments and I became more and more interested in the profession. After talking with a few chiropractors, I knew that helping people naturally is what I wanted to do with my life. It wasn't until my studies at Logan, however, that I learned of the never-ending list of health benefits accompanied with chiropractic.
Chiropractic Education
Dr. Mark Trudeau began his undergraduate studies in 2000 at the University of Windsor and graduated in 2004 with an Honours Bachelor of Human Kinetics. He was then accepted to Logan College of Chiropractic to pursue his Doctorate of Chiropractic in St. Louis, MO. Among others, he studied courses in chiropractic techniques, neurology, anatomy, physiology, diagnostic imaging, differential diagnosis, orthopedics, biomechanics, and physical diagnosis. He graduated in 2008 on the Dean's List and attained a Bachelor of Science and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Dr. Trudeau is well versed in many Chiropractic Techniques including: Diversified, Thompson, Activator, Active Release, and Logan Basic. He has also taken many seminars specializing in topics such as, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, nutrition, and orthotics.
While at Logan, Dr. Trudeau participated in many sporting activities, including playing on the Logan College hockey team. He also coached an Atom AA hockey team. Dr. Trudeau grew up in Sault Ste. Marie and has always been active in sports and the outdoors. Outside of the office, Dr. Trudeau spends his time with his wife, Kim, daughter, Adeline, and their two golden retrievers. They have a passion for the outdoors and love camping, canoeing, fishing, and snowshoeing.
If you would like to book an appointment to see Dr. Trudeau, call Barrie Chiropractic at (705) 792-6690.

1. Today I can't seem to stop watching what's going on in Cairo and Alexandria via Al Jazeera. Apparently, this revolution will be televised. I can't say I have any great understanding of the political situation in Egypt; here are the things that have interested me.
- The Internet can be shut down, but with a press still able to give us reports through journalists in the field and broadcasters, the world gets news. And even without access to the Internet, Egyptians still manage to assemble to protest. They're driving between towns and using their phones to organize, and even when there are no clear leaders, they aren't turning into mobs.
- The cooperation between the military and the protesters has shifted the atmosphere from violence to orderly protest. I hope that continues. Meanwhile, average citizens have stepped in where the police have failed to try to return normalcy and security to neighborhoods (there is looting of and damage to businesses).
- Regular citizens are linking arms to repel intruders who would loot and destroy cultural treasures inside museums. It's moving to see their determination to honor and protect their country's heritage.
2. It's 34 degrees here and I still won't get any sympathy because it's so much colder/icier/snowier everywhere else.
3. Does anyone else think Lauren Conrad and Kate Middleton look like each other?
Lauren Conrad, Reality Princess Past - Kate Middleton, Real Princess Future
4. The Google Art Project is great! Today I've taken virtual tours of the Tate and National Gallery in London.

Do you know what to do in the event of a tsunami? Find out what you need to know, how to prepare, what to do when it happens and also what to do after the event.
All of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and our entire coastline is at risk of tsunami.
A tsunami is a series of waves caused by large earthquakes. A tsunami wave can grow to become a fast moving wall of water. We cannot predict when one will happen, but we can protect ourselves and our family.
There are many ways a tsunami could be generated but the most likely is an earthquake. If you are near the coast and feel an earthquake that is LONG or STRONG: GET GONE.
Remember, LONG or STRONG: GET GONE.
For a local source tsunami which could arrive in minutes, there won't be time for an official warning. It is important to recognise the natural warning signs and act quickly.
What can you do to prepare for a Tsunami before you are even at risk?
First of all, find out if you live or work or visit a tsunami evacuation zone by looking at the Bay of Plenty Hazards Viewer.
Just click on the 'Tsunami' tab and zoom into the locations you want to check. If you are going on holiday or visiting the coast, take a few moments to check and see if you are headed into a tsunami evacuation zone.
Now you know where you will be at risk;
Plan and exercise your tsunami evacuation route, especially if you have young children, mobility issues or special needs.
During a Tsunami
If you receive an official tsunami warning or if you are at the coast and experience any of the following:
Move immediately to the nearest high ground, or as far inland as you can. Walk or bike if possible.
Remember, the first wave is not always the biggest. Stay away from at risk areas until the all clear is given.
After a Tsunmai

Ok so Saag Aloo is one of those geet (it's a northern term) easy dishes anyway but with a slow cooker it's even easier (I mean lazier)
3 fist sized potatoes peeled and chopped
A bag of spinach (200g)
500ml chicken/veg stock (I used 2 stock cubes)
2 onions sliced
1 teaspoon each of coriander, chilli powder and cumin.
2 teaspoons of curry powder
Ok here's the really complicated bit, so take your time to get it right.....
Put everything in the slow cooker on medium for about 2.5-3 hours until the potatoes are soft and the sauce has thickened. It doesn't look amazing but it's totally tasty !
That's it, you're welcome x

A fresh floral arrangement in a small Ball canning jar. Please note: we make deliveries tuesday, thursday, and friday evenings.
In these photos we used dahlias, zinnias, basil, grasses, and salal leaves. The two wrapped jars also have roses, spray roses, blackberries, geranium leaves, and snowberry. Each jar is special and unique depending on what we have on hand and what is available seasonally.
The small fancy mason arrangement is a good size for a desk, table or a small centerpiece. These arrangements have a "just picked from the garden" feel.
We use seasonal fresh flowers and whenever possible buy from local growers in and around the Portland Region. Flower types and colors will change depending on the season and the occasion. If you have something particular in mind please call the shop and let us know.

- Invasive aquatic plants,
- Clatsop Plains -- Oregon,
- Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
Since the mid-1900's, invasive aquatic weeds have been a significant problem in many of the lakes of the Clatsop Plains on the northern Oregon Coast. Weeds interfere with beneficial uses, such as boating, fishing and swimming, and have dramatically altered the chemical and biological features of the lakes. In 1994, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) added three of the lakes, Cullaby, Smith and Sunset, to the 303 (d) list of water quality impaired waters, due to the presence of the invasive aquatic weeds. ODEQ contracted with the Center for Lakes and Reservoirs and the Geology Department at PSU to develop management plans for the weeds and to evaluate the source of nutrients to the lakes that may contribute to water quality problems. Current water quality conditions, groundwater, and the watershed were studied.

Hallo There!
How are you? Feeling chirpy?
Hope so, I have a really nice
project to show you today by
Hazel Harler.
She has brought Spring
with her. take a look at this:
"Hi everyone, I have a decorated papier
mache box to share with you today.
I started by giving the box a coat
of white gesso, then I stencilled some
script using a Carabelle Studio stencil
and some modelling paste.
I crumpled some tissue paper and
adhered it to the spine then I painted
it with some plum Fresco paint.
I painted the rest of the box with taupe,
plum and captain peacock Fresco paints,
I also added some plum splatters.
Using my finger I lightly added some
Imagination Crafts white gold
Starlight paint.
I adhered some patterned tissue paper that
I found in my stash to the sides of the
box and stamped some Paperartsy leaves
with apple green Starlight paint.
I decorated the box with a wooden
leaf spray, Forever In Time burlap daisies
and some pearls, I also tore some
birds out of the tissue paper and
adhered it to the box."
I will have to make this one Hazel
It is a good design and I love the
techniques and colours you have
used. Thank you very much
I'm sure you will agree that this
is an awesome project
"Till tomorrow

Merrywalks Bridge Update from Nigel Edgeworth
Welcome back to the weekly bulletins. Work commenced again on Monday 10th January following the Christmas break.
Some of you will be aware from press reports that there is now a significant delay to the works and it doesn't look as though they will now be completed until May.
This is unfortunate, and is down to various problems that we have encountered in the last few months. The good thing is that the diversion is working well and motorists are not experiencing delays. We will be doing all we can to speed up the works so that we can finish as soon as possible.
Work has continued this week on erecting the scaffolding and the placing of some shuttering for the bridge deck to be cast. See left.
Over the next few weeks the shuttering will continue to be placed. This will then be followed by placing the reinforcing steel.
Placing of steel mesh to form the concrete finish to the front of the bored concrete piles has also been going on during this week. See below.
British Telecom staff are constructing chambers in readiness to divert their fibre optic cables over the top of the bridge deck when it is completed.

Dear Friend. Your first reaction to this mail will be total rejection, scare and maybe disbelief, owning largely to the atrocities people commit these days. But this mail comes from a devastated, sorrowful and emotional laden soul that needs compassion from a kind and good spirited person to wipe away my tears and appropriate my dream and humanitarian gesture. As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry forme, because, I believe everyone dies someday.My name is nelson cole a merchant in Dubai,in the U.A.E.I worked with Zambian Ministry of Mining and Resources for eight years as a contractor,I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.It has defiled all forms of medical treatment,I am very worried as the doctors have informed me that its terminal. I don't know how much time I have left on earth, hence this mail to you.I have not particularly lived my life well, as I never really cared for anyone but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous,I was always hostile to ! pe ople and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as. I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul hence, I decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E,Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and P akistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be content with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of $2,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad.
