I was approached to contribute expert advice for an article pitched to Real Simple about enhancing your workspace for Productivity. "Cool" I thought. But I work with inner space, not physical space. Does what I coach about translate to how to set up your surroundings?
Why not.
For me it's all about how you feel inside and your environment can certainly affect that. We do our best work when we begin with a sense of calm. David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, calls it Water Mind—a stillness and sense of peace that everything will get handled.
Clutter can be distracting. It interferes with your focus and keeps you slightly agitated, thinking about all the other things you need to do.
But, on the other hand, environment is a matter of personal style, and I'm a firm believer in finding your own right way. One woman's clutter is another's pile of beloved books or baskets of baby sweaters still to be knitted.
While some people do their best work with a completely bare desk, others want favorite personal items nearby for inspiration and comfort. Still others want to work at Starbuck's with the white noise of a crowd all around. There is no one right way. It's whatever suits you best. Whatever increases your centeredness and therefore your productivity.
Ask yourself if the space makes you feel calm or annoyed, focused or anxious. What about it is getting in the way of your peace of mind? And is now the right time to attend to the distraction and put things in order.
If a mess is keeping you from your top priority you have a choice– deal with it or come up with a creative solution like my brother-in-law, Steve, did.
At the time, my sister Jennifer was working in a high-stress job. She loved to come home to a clean and tidy kitchen where all the surfaces were empty and everything was put away. Steve was working from home at the time and they had divided the tasks so that cleaning the kitchen was his responsibility.
One day Jennifer came home and was delighted to see that the kitchen was just as she wanted. She relaxed and came to thank Steve for his good work. He responded, "Did you ever notice that there's very little difference between DID the dishes and HID the dishes?" Then he took her to the bathroom, pulled back the shower curtain and showed her that all of the kitchen clutter had been removed from sight and hidden in the tub.
That's a short-term solution of course but it did have the desired effect. The environment supported her positive inner state.
One last piece of advice is to get rid of anything you hate—that not quite comfortable chair you're tolerating, the desk that snags your stockings all the time, the objet d'art that your mother-in-law gave you that gives you the creeps. Anything that gives you a little tug of yuck every time you look at it or think about it. Get it out of there. It's not worth the drain on your energy.
Design your workspace keeping in mind how you want to feel when you're there. Does it support your best work? If not, what needs to change?

I got an email from a diabetic friend telling me he had an open cut on his foot healing up and his mother was visiting in town and wanted him to take her out and about, even thought she knew about the foot. I replied: You HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING saying your mother wants you to take her out entertaining when you should be home with your leg up. She does not get it. Ok, I will say this once, and I know you already know this. I'm just Spirit's personal reminder that the world needs the work you have to give. And you need an able body/vehicle to do all it all, and it will fulfill your every dream. YOU are a diabetic. YOU are obese. If you make your food become your medicine, you can control the diabetes, despite extra weight. The incorrect food will create toxins that your body can no longer process. It can no longer process them due to the diabetes. When the toxins build up, it appears in your legs. You are a diabetic. I know a lot of diabetics. You have to be careful of your feet anyway. You should be wearing diabetic shoes and they need to lace up. I'm not saying anything you don't know.
I won't tell you how many of the diabetic men I know over 40 who are still walkers or have both their legs. You have a cut on your foot that is slow to heal. By God's grace it isn't on the bottom of your foot, so get on your knees right now and thank God for that. So, YOU, a diabetic with a new cut on his foot, is going to spend days sitting up and standing up to be polite to your mother, even though doing so may lead to you losing your leg. That's what you're doing, right
What you NEED TO BE DOING is – until you can get to the doctor, treat yourself as they would in the hospital. Get in bed, get that leg raised, listen to some Abraham or classical music or good ole time gospel and STAY RECLINED WITH YOUR LEG RAISED. Don't just stay in bed or on the couch. GET THAT LEG ABOVE YOUR HEART until you get to the doctor and let him know you kept it up so he factors that into the equation.
Keep the stress to a minimum, ok mom's visiting so forget that one, but DO NOT GO OUT AND ABOUT, CERTAINLY NOT TO A MOVIE WHERE YOUR LEG IS ON THE FLOOR OR CROSSED FOR HOURS. Good Lord, I am not kidding. Ok, end of lecture.
### end of email
I just now finished cleaning out my back office and vacuuming the whole house. My friend Denise turned me on to the Kenmore Magic Blue™ Canister Vacuum. It is so easy to use and easy to hide in a little corner to keep at hand. I used to never vacuum, ever; I would just wait for the housekeeper. But now that I'm cleaning my own house (let's see how long that lasts) I find I am really digging the little MagicVac. Also I find if I keep a bottle of spray cleaner and a dustcloth in each room, it is no big deal to clean this table or that bookshelf every few days.

ADSB: F.H. Clergue french immersion school
This was the first new elementary school built in Sault Ste. Marie, in thirty years. As such, considerable community and Board involvement has taken place to ensure this is the best facility that can be built for the money available. The project will include the usual classroom types, plus dedicated science, music and arts classrooms, and double gymnasia, all of which are highly unusual for an elementary school.
The site presents many opportunities, with the ability to view directly into a wonderful wooded, ravine, so that students can enjoy the relationship to the natural environment. We have strategically placed the 8 kindergarten rooms and daycare facility overlooking this space. The project uses a multitude of energy saving, low maintenance and environmentally sustainable features to yield environmental control and high energy efficiency.

Re-Purposing BOREAL French Immersion School
This project is currently out for tender, as an example of a retrofit, project of an existing building.
Formerly the building was a 60 year old Vocational High School that we are transforming into a new JK to 8, French Immersion Elementary School. The project includes the complete renewal of the site, complete exterior façade and all interiors to yield an essentially 'new' school. The net result is a building that is unrecognizable from its former self. Everything must be changed to suit its new use. The site now has to accommodate a minimum of 25 buses, and provide a complete separation of cars and buses on the site.
Once containing large vocational shops, the new use must be designed in conformance with the Ministry's classroom size and functionality, so most of the interiors had to be dramatically changed. The greatest challenge however, is that the school was constructed on a sloping site, with interior floor elevations that vary 12 feet vertically from one side of the school to the other. Originally, this was accessed through several stairways, but now had to meet contemporary accessibility guidelines.

ADSB: JK to 12 school
The new school amalgamates all students for the entire community, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12, in one new facility. The project includes all classroom types from kindergarten rooms through science, music and arts classrooms. As the student population is small, most classrooms are designed to be able to be easily sub-divided into two smaller spaces on demand, to suit classes as small as 6 to a dozen students, up to full size.
It has an interesting and diverse recreation component, separating yet utilizing similar facilities, for both elementary and senior grades. As it is built in a remote location, the building was designed to be built using very little masonry (as the nearest concrete plant is two hours away), with a steel frame and precast panels, that could be pre-fabricated and easily trucked in and erected during the winter. The project uses a multitude of energy saving and environmentally sustainable features to yield control and high energy efficiency. For example the entire school is heated and cooled using an in-ground geothermal system involving 72, 100 metre deep wells.

Prototypical middle school
Mr. Ellis provided volunteer services to the island country of St. Lucia for the design concept for a prototype middle school.
Classrooms are 'L' shaped to allow flexibility of programme delivery within. The Library is elongated which enables a multitude of tasks to take place simultaneously without the interference of a traditional square design. There are nooks and crannies provided throughout the plan, for informal learning, or for display of student's work.
As no air conditioning, nor mechanical ventilation is to provided, the corridors are single loaded to allow complete front to back free ventilation, corridors are canopied only and not enclosed and large overhangs are provided throughout to ensure adequate shading from the sun. The structure uses pre-engineered steel buttresses supporting a corrugated steel roof shell, for repeatability, cost savings and ease of erection.

Lake Superior State University Crawford Hall of Science and Research
The campus consists of older and dignified historic structures. So this design builds on its intrinsic attributes in a modern interpretation of the traditional architecture, taking design cues from the old Fort Brady campus buildings. This brings a modern contemporary look, yet steeped with historic reference. The project includes the nursing school, biology, zoology, chemistry, geology and computer laboratories, geological museum and planetarium.
To best utilise space, the new addition was designed to accommodate the most heavily serviced laboratories, while the renovated areas (generally due to space restrictions) include simpler classroom and lecture type uses. This project won Mr. Ellis the 'Laboratory of the Year Award', the only ever awarded to a Canadian architect.

Sault College Renovations
Our firm's involvement began with the original design of E-Wing in the 1970's, through renovations by Mr. Ellis in the early 1990's and the early 2000's, the College's renovations were designed to reflect an interactive, technology driven academic environment. For example, with the renovation of E-Wing, the original concept for the main block of this building was a component based system, modular in nature and therefore easy to manipulate and evolve.
Upgrading to a modern use was therefore in keeping with our age-old philosophy of future building renewal. Classrooms are normally the first subject for change, with the development of new technologies and the challenge was to bring an almost forty year old building into the new century. Other uses, such as the flight simulator built for the Aviation Department, tread new grown, and therefore opened up far more complexity into what were previously simple uses and spaces.

viterbo university centre for ethics, science and technologY
"Viterbo will be a premier institution among small independ- ent universities in the upper Midwest" (from Vision 2005 "A Renaissance for Living and Learning in the 21st Century" )
Viterbo is a Catholic University located in Wisconsin, dedicated to ethics based education. Mr. Ellis provided the overall concept design and laboratory planning for this new school. Aesthetically, it integrates into the existing traditional campus architecture, yet inwardly, is a modern environment.
The new facility houses the University ́s President offices, 3-Distance Education Labs, 7-Chemistry Labs, 15-Biology Labs, 5-Research Labs, 12-Faculty offices and 2-Computer Labs. Integrating ethics into the science and technology disciplines, the students of Viterbo will have access to a state-of-the-art education that simultaneously offers knowledge and values-based learning. The new centre will bring the learning resources of the world to Viterbo. Special technology and distance-learning equipment will be available for members of the university and community to use. The centre includes a tiered conference auditorium to host webcasts and down-linked video conferences, as well as live and distance presentations involving technology, leadership and ethics.

It also supports co-location of a number of other businesses organizations dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology research in the development and private sector commercialization of technology in the Algoma region.
Keeping with the advanced thinking of the function of the building, its structure was designed as a 'green' building, to LEED Gold standards, to ensure maximum energy efficiency and the conservation of energy.

northwestern college natural sciences / IT centre
The Integrated Learning Centre is designed to reflect the intimate relationship between students, technology and the natural environment. The building will form part of a courtyard blending and physically linking with other campus buildings, opening onto the exterior landscape. We used an architecture composed of natural materials, to blend into it's wonderfully treed and rustic site. For cost effectiveness, the building is comprised of two segments, a laboratory science wing and an information technology wing, joined by a transparent glazed link.
By dividing the building into smaller pavilions it is more in keeping with human scale, whilst maintaining greater building efficiencies. A two storey high glazed interior 'street', that is an expression of activity and a place for chance meeting and sharing ideas, runs through the entire length of the building.

Bay de Noc College
This Community College required a building solution to their growing science program, especially in the area of environmental sciences. The object was to provide multi-purpose laboratories and research space that can be shared to provide either separate, complimentary classes, or distance learning abilities.
Although two entrances have been provided, the intent is that all spaces can function either separately, or in tandem. One enters either side of a shared computer logging space. Bridging between the two wet labs are found a Specialized Instrumentation Cubical, Prep Area, and Chemical Storage Room. As theses spaces are common to each lab, there exists a reduction capital cost, while increasing efficiency and interaction amongst students and staff.

To developers: please add flopzilla-style detailed flop range breakdown. We dont necesserely need river range distribution when only flop is dealt, and switching to "calculate to flop" option feels clunky and doesnt help much to really break down card range.

My name is Kimberly K. Graham and I love to create.
KKG Creative started as KKG Photography. In 2005 a niece was born. In 2007 another niece came along and we suddenly found ourselves in need of a photographer- which is hard to find in a rural, south Alabama town. After photos of my sweet girls hit social media friends and friends of friends started calling until KKG Photography was born.
I'm never satsified with status quo and I'm always learning. Thanks to an insatiable curiosity and the tutelage of two of the best graphic designers at Auburn University, I've learned to enjoy and excel at videography and basic graphic design. KKG Photography is now KKG Creative and I'm proud to offer:
- Photography (product, families, commercial)
- Design (Graphics, social media, flyers, web, and apparel)
- Videography (filming and or editing)
- Basic Animation
A special "Thank You" to my best friend for teaching me, encouraging me to work hard, and helping me to step out on this limb. Much love to my Boudreaux.

Answering Your DUI Questions
Many questions surround the topic of DUI. At Tom Rowsey Attorneys at Law, we offer DUI defense. We have extensive experience representing our Georgia clients in defending and beating DUI charges. We are often asked some common questions about DUI that we will address in this blog.
- How does a DUI charge affect me?
- A DUI is considered a misdemeanor or felony crime. If you are convicted, it can impact your criminal record, driving privileges, employment eligibility, reputation and relationships.
- What will happen after your arrest for DUI?
- After your arrest you need to appear before a judge for something called an arraignment. This is when you appear in court and given a formal charge and you will be asked to respond to the charge by entering a plea (not guilty or guilty).
- How does Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) affect my charges?
- Having a BAC higher than 0.12% will give you a very poor chance of winning when you are on trial. In all states 0.08% blood alcohol level will lead to a conviction. If you were less than 0.08% your chances of beating charges for drunk driving are better.
- Do I need a defense attorney when facing DUI charges?
- Yes! A skilled defense attorney like Tom Rowsey will be able to cross-examine the prosecutor's charges. Whether you'd choose a plea bargain or you want to take your case to trial, you should consider having a defense attorney to represent you. The attorneys at Thomas C. Rowsey have extensive experience litigating and appealing cases of DUI in the state of Georgia.

GLOBAL WARMING FAIL! Proof It Is a Hoax as Revealed as Study Cancelled Due to…
Yes. The climate changed from cold to colder.
If this scientist truly believes in man-made global warming (now conveniently referred to as "climate change" to accommodate for inconveniences such as "unprecedented polar ice"), then it means that we, mankind, are responsible for said unprecedented polar ice. So I guess our job is done. We stopped global warming. Good job everybody. I'm going to go have a beer.
According to Breitbart:
A global warming research study in Canada has been cancelled because of "unprecedented" thick summer ice.
Naturally, the scientist in charge has blamed it on 'climate change.'
According to Vice:
The study, entitled BaySys, is a $17-million four-year-long program headed by the University of Manitoba. It was planning to conduct the third leg of its research by sending 40 scientists from five Canadian universities out into the Bay on the Canadian Research Icebreaker CCGS Amundsen to study "contributions of climate change and regulation on the Hudson Bay system."
But it had to be cancelled because the scientists' icebreaker was required by the Canadian Coast Guard for a rather more urgent purpose – rescuing fishing boats and supply ships which had got stuck in the "unprecedented ice conditions".
Not only Al Gore, but the ones who know better about climate engineering, claiming that the Arctic is well above normal in temperatures and all Arctic ice will be gone in a number of days. This whole climate deal is based on computer modelling by scientists who will use fake data to prove their agenda, just like the FAKE news media do.
This entire fraud is an effort to politicize weather. It is an effort to centralize command and control of the economy in DC and strip wealth, income and private property from everyone else.
Climate will do what climate will do as it has for hundreds of millions of years. Meanwhile, it is wise to base decisions and policy on hard fact.
The climate has been heating and cooling since the beginning of time.
In the left's environmental cause-effect paradigm, a change in any effect can be attributed to any solution they claim to have undertaken. Think of the ozone layer, and how its behavior since the '80s shows that it would likely have repaired itself, going through cycles of depletion and replenishment, without the fiasco of trading one fluorocarbon aerosol for several others. Yet they did a rain dance and claimed another hollow success in their mission to STW.
Research 'Chicago Climate Exchange' to see how Obama and his terrorist buddy, Ayers, through a left-wing foundation, supplied the funding to start the CCX with the goal of raking in a TRILLION DOLLARS over a decade through the buying and selling of phony 'Carbon Credits'.
Among the 'stockholders' and officials of the CCx were Al Gore (naturally), Ayers' BROTHER, and several of Obama's cronies including ALL of the United Nations officials involved in propagating the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report.
That's why, when Obama entered the White House, he tried so hard to get his 'Cap and Trade' swindle made law. After Obama's failure to do so, the CCX stock cratered and it was sold to some Eurotrash that wanted to bilk THEIR citizens out of their money!
It's all just another hoax.

Open Heart Surgery Team in PNG focuses on Nurses
Deputy Chairperson for the Port Moresby General Hospital Board and the Coordinator for Operation Open Heart Cathy Johnston stated this upon her arrival with the International Open Heart team in Port Moresby yesterday from Australia.Nurses are important because without them, operations cannot be done and programs cannot be run."
"Nurses will be the center of the training for the first time because without them, operations cannot take place and doctors will not be able to work alone." She stressed.
Darren Wolfers, Coordinator for the Open Heart International medical team, further stated that his team were only in the country to observe and not to perform any surgeries as all the work would be done by the local medical team.
"The goal this week is not to operate on hundreds of patients but for the local team to do the operations themselves," he said.
"Ït's not about the quantity but the quality, we are looking at about 10 or 12 patients to be operated on this week."
Meanwhile, the International Open Heart Surgery team looks at creating a heart centre for the country that could be called Papua New Guinea (PNG) National Heart Centre. Legend FM/ PNG Today

What is a Roth IRA?
A Roth IRA is a type of retirement/ investment account that gives individuals the opportunity, each year, to deposit after tax earnings up to certain contribution limits. This particular type of retirement account is popular and unique because when the funds are available (certain distribution rules apply), the principal and earnings can be withdrawn tax free. Unlike a traditional IRA, where taxes are deferred on the front end, the Roth IRA gives the majority of its tax benefits on the back end. Funds held in a Roth IRA, like a traditional IRA, can be invested in a variety of different ways according to the individuals risk/return requirements.
Roth IRA Contribution Limits
As of 2011 (for 2010 contributions), the Roth IRA can only be contributed to if you are single with income up to $107,000 (per year) or married with income up to $169,000 (per year). If these requirements are met, you will be able to contribute a maximum of $5,000 (under 50 yrs old) or $6,000 (over 50 yrs old). This amount is limited to the combined contributions of a Roth IRA and Traditional IRA.

In the early 1970s we used to say to each other, especially when embarking on a questionable adventure, "When the going gets weird, the weird get going!"
Get going out there.
The dominant economic and financial commentary has us in strengthening recovery, and a serious minority says we are near new recession. Both are correct and mistaken. Begin at the very beginning, circa 1990, when the entrance of China into global markets began to undercut Western wages.

Ah…i'm back :)
Life got crazy, school got ridiculous, I got behind and lost but I found the way out and im back. I'm caught up and as we speak life is pretty good. My cat Baloo who was originally an outside cat is exploring my room (it was raining I had to bring him in!) and loving it and he now has a belly and I can no longer see his bones. I finally got back to working out and going to church so I feel pretty much amazing right now. I'm currently reading J.R.R. Tolkien's "unfinished Tales" and finding it very fascinating. I'm getting back to my schedule of getting up at 7 working on school till 1 then working out and hopefully that will lead me to more baking and back to blogging because I really do miss it.
After recording all my Halloween movies that I watch every year (the list includes, Halloween, Nosferatu, Frankenstein, Night of the living Dead…ya know the classics?) I've pretty much come to the conclusion that Halloween is the best time for movies. I wait every year for this time of year JUST for the movies (and maybe also the candy). Yes..yes! I get it Christmas has awesome movies too! and candy! but there's just something about those classic thriller, slasher, mask, vampire movies that just stick with me. Right now its the best time of year, its like Christmas without the stress of shopping, money and everything else that makes christmas movies hilarious.
I'm off for now, tonight I start my first class that will teach me how to really decorate cakes and im super excited to say the very least!
Thank you for reading and hopefully I'll be back on soon! I hope you all have an amazing rest of the week!

Elevate Seductive Summer, the newest event from Elevate Events Live was set at the beautiful grounds of Sandalwood Estate. Party goers braved the rain, brought their coolers and vibes and pulsated to this year's and past summer hits by some of the island's top deejays. Adding to the entertainment value was Stiffy and Jagwa who performed some of their popular hits along with their new offerings for Crop Over 2017. As you know, team Elevate always has something up their sleeves and this time around that came in the form of Teff, one of the hottest if not hottest rapper on the island. He delivered hits like "Starz" and 'WDWFTS" finishing off his set with his latest banger "Headshot" w/ scorching moves from Riddim Tribe who joined him on stage for a wicked display.
Of course, as customary at any Elevate event, drinks were flowing FREELY! (pun intended ?) Most notable and memorable was their Haagen Daz cocktail. That was simply perfection! I hope to see this blend at every Elevate event to come.
Enough of the chatter, view our snaps below.

I don't know if I already posted this link. See live Steel Angel Kurumi. I don't wanna watch that. *lol* Prolly only out of curiosity.
Dang, my head hurts like hell. It had been a tough day. It's supposed to be a GOOD day, but it didn't go that well. ~__~ Calvin and I were supposed to meet yesterday afternoon. I kept telling him that he won't prolly come _again_, but he said he will and nothing will ruin the plans. But he backed off again the last minute. I got his message when I was on my way to Eloisa's room and do the usual MWF routine (visit that DUDE). I got really pissed then I got sad when Eloi wasn't there. I didn't want to go to her room anymore 'coz that DUE would really start think I'm going there because of him. That's bad. He shouldn't think of that _yet_. Then I got more pissed when I found out that the customs at PO is charging me $420 to claim a package. XP I don't know what to do with them, but I'm glad my parents are helping me. Would you believe, the guy there at customs is charging me $20/cd-ROM. Those are cd-r's not cd-ROM's. My goodness. How stupid. Then my mom explained to the guy the difference between the two and he insisted they're just THE SAME. Wow…extreme baka. It's pretty obvious the guy is CORRUPT. I tell you, when I get the _power_ all these corrupt people will face my wrath. It's too bad that this guy is already old, he might not able to live long to _experience_ my EVIL-ness. $420 is too much and even if I did, I won't pay that fuckin' piece of shit.
I was looking at this site — http://112.ainoyume.net (thanks to Maki) and found some links regarding good and bad hosts. I'm glad my host wasn't listed on the bad side, so it's all good. ^_^ I'm going to stick around with this server real long.
Moonlit Midnight is finally done. I don't know when it was finished, but I better continue reading it and leave a li'l review. That also reminds me, I gotta upload my yaoi site here and maii cliques page. I couldn't update them because Liquid2K was bein' an @$$. Today, I'm going to the movies with Burigs aside from the fact my eyes are starting to hurt after a few hours staring at a monitor, tv, etc.
Just finished eatin' breakfast. *lol* I had Oreo. XD I'm going to put up eternalwish here with a back-up in the other free server. Just in case I run out of money and won't be able to pay my host. There will be extreme changes with that site. I'm going to remove all the anime stuff and stick with K-pop goodies or any _real_ people thing. You know what I mean. At least that's something different, right? Then I'm going to update my clique and make a new one. I gotta think of what to start though. ^.^ Then Mica and I are going to start our Gravi site. wo0t! Watch out for that. XD

The Zambian government has secured $65 million from China to initiate and fund the second phase of the national mobile phone tower construction project.
The Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority (ZICTA) plans to launch the nationwide construction of mobile phone communication towers, aimed at easing communication problems in the country - especially in rural areas.
The towers will be used by MTN, Zamtel and Airtel, the three mobile phone service providers currently operating in the country. The operators will also be responsible for maintaining and servicing the towers once they are operational and handed over to ZICTA.
Zambia's president Edgar Lungu secured the multi-million Dollar loan during his visit to China last week during which he also had a meeting with Huawei Technologies and ZTE.
Once implemented, the Zambian government believes the communication tower project will address issues with telephone connectivity being experienced in the country, particularly in rural communities.
Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda said, "through the towers, the Zambian government wants to make sure that everyone has access to mobile phone communication in the country."
The Zambian government, via ZICTA, is already constructing 169 communication towers in selected rural areas in the first phase of the project. Last year Huawei Technologies was awarded the contract to erect the towers as part of this phase.
The telecommunications company has been accused of erecting towers that do not adhere to technical specifications because they cover a radius of less than 5km, a minimum requirement as per specifications contained in the bid document.
ZICTA said last month that it was aware of the irregularity and promised it would be corrected under phase two of the project.
With the funds from China, authorities are aiming to connect the whole country to mobile phone communication.

I called my insurance company for a quote for the car I will be leasing as soon as the insurance part is straightened up. After going through the vin number and such I was quoted:
$1,950 a year. I almost feel off my chair. Now my parents has prepared me for an increase and they kept saying "it can't be worse than the Mustang"...well its just you know 750 more than a new Mustang. You know its bad when the insurance agent who you met once says "Umm don''t sign the lease yet...I'm going to call around because you shouldn't be paying that ever."
To top off my day I went to write my FIRST check today to hold my car at Honda. I was so excited, my first check with my name on it and everything. I just set up my checking account and got checks last week in the mail. When I got the checks I made sure they were all in the box and stuffed them away. Today I go to fill out my first check and guess what...my last name was spelled totally wrong. There apparently was some miscommunication between my credit union and the check maker.
Oh and did I mention I mislabeled over 40 files today at work. Talk about wanting to bang my head against the desk.
Is it Friday yet?
Oh and once again I am exhausted so there was no spell check or editing...I apologize if that offends the perfectionists out there :)

Click on the title of this post to see a BBC news story about this all-female unit.
I just thought this was an interesting story. Folks are hoping that one result of their presence will be a decrease in the exploitation of women and girls in Liberia, where they are now deployed. I hope so.

By Josh Loeb
Vets should be alert to the possibility of cases of African swine fever (ASF) appearing among backyard or pet pigs, delegates at the official veterinarian conference were warned.
Julia James, senior partner and head of the pig team at Larkmead Vets, said some smallholders still fed kitchen scraps to the animals not realising that this was irresponsible and that they could face prosecution for doing so.
James suggested that vets visiting such owners should …

There's never been a better time to be productive on a Mac and on a budget at the same time.
Macs are less expensive than comparable Dell PCs running Windows. Great Mac applications and utilities are free.
Assume you're not made of money but quality of your digital life is important to you. What do you buy?
Of course, you'll buy a Mac. Why? The total cost of ownership is less than a comparably priced PC with Windows.
That's a start. If money is an object then you're also careful about what Mac applications and utilities you use.
Quality. Service. Price. It used to be that you could only pick any two of the three. I get all three on my Mac.
Go down the list of what's on your Mac already that's free. Firefox? Sure, it's on my Mac and I use it and I love the extensions.
Firefox's bag of tricks doesn't cost a nickel. Neither does the email companion Thunderbird. Full featured, good quality, low price.
Those are basics, but there are others. Replacing the expensive Microsoft Office is easy with NeoOffice. Drag and drop and cheap, as in beer.
Collecting free utilities and applications for my Mac is such fun that I do a Top 10 Free Software For Mac OS X list.
Just recently I've added a few other tools to my Mac.
The kind that don't cost a dime. They cost exactly 10-cents less.
For example, to make Safari more competitive with Firefox, I added David Watanabe's Inquisitor. Now your Safari Google searches can be done before you've started the search.
Mac the Ripper is a great way to copy your movie DVDs to your Mac. Netflix users probably love Mac the Ripper.
I've added MAMP as a permanent utility, rather a set of utilities, to my Mac. What a great way to learn about web tools. The cost? Zilch. So is the BitRock MAMPstack, but it's a bit more geeky.
For the monetarily graphically challenged, ImageWell remains free but has a new version out. Ditto with ImageTricks.
I'll take some heat for this, but I'm still not in love with QuickSilver as a great alternative to DragThing. It's too much of a paradigm shift for me. It is cool and it does work.
How do you beat the price tag on PTHpasteboard? It's a multi-level clipboard with a single level price. Free.
I've got a new baby that requires my time so I make better use of time with Alarm Clock. A little rock and roll is a good diversion from mommyhood.
One of our all time favorite Mac utilities, SuperDuper! is not free, unless all you're doing is cloning your Mac to another hard drive. If that's what you need, SD is also free.
Most of these are utilities I've added recently to my Mac. What have you added to yours? Make it a quality Mac utility, make it free, and share it with other Mac360 readers.

Heey there,
I'm not quite sure what to write here, so it'll just be a bit about myself I guess. The name is Miles and I love to write. I live by the saying that the best people are all a little loopy. Aaaaand that's exactly what I am too :) So if you ever need a friend or just want to have a chat, I'd love to be the person you could talk to! Please leave a comment or read a story of mine :3 (btw I read everything people say to me and always reply!)
Lots of love,

John Cusack plus a screening of High Fidelity
For fans of John Cusack and "High Fidelity", a visit to Championship Vinyl definitely would make a "top five" list.
The hit comedy High Fidelity is the story of record shop owner Rob Gordon (John Cusack) on a search for love (and the reasons behind his failed relationships) against a backdrop of more than 70 songs spanning multiple decades and genres of music. With – or without – the help of his record store buddies Dick (Todd Luiso) and Barry (Jack Black's breakout role), Rob revisits past relationships in hopes of figuring out where he has gone wrong. Released in 2000, The New York Times praised John Cusack as "a master at easygoing camaraderie." Rotten Tomatoes has "High Fidelity" ranked #14 on the list of Best Romantic Comedies.
Now, join John Cusack for a screening of High Fidelity on the big screen followed by a LIVE conversation regarding his career and the making of the film. Fans will get the opportunity to experience a moderated discussion, with John answering audience questions as well.
A limited number of VIP seats will be available that include a post-show photo op with John.
Melissa Ross of WJCT's First Coast Connect will moderate the Q&A.

Hello bloggers!
For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tully and I work as Arlene's Assistant PA.
As I write this, I am watching the cast of the international phenomenon that is Starlight Express in rehearsals for their UK Tour. Arlene reminded me this morning that the very first time I saw Starlight Express was on a school trip when I was 7. Now at 20 I have very little memory of what the show was like.
Every person I have spoken to about the show coming back has been over the moon, and until now, I couldn't understand or share in the excitement.
The cast of this show are all previous Starlight cast members from all over the world, and you can really tell. They all know the parts like the back of their hands. For the first 3 hours of rehearsing, I sat in awe as the entire ensemble were able to continuously sing, dance, act and even perform huge stunts, all while wearing roller-skates! I can't even stand up on wheels, let alone attempt to try and move.
This is what makes Starlight Express unique. The cast have to be the best of the best. And to be the best of the best 8 times per week.
The music is brilliant. The musical directors have adapted the original music slightly to bring it up to date with current artists. Think Black Eyed Peas, Bruno Mars, Pixie Lott and Adele. But for all the 'first round' Starlight fans, the original tracks are there in all their glory.
Arlene working with the 4 female carriages; Pearl, Dinah, Ashley and Buffy.
Rusty, Pearl, Dinah, Ashley and Buffy in action.
The Starlight Express rehearsal room during a well earned tea break.
The fact that I am able to sit here and write this when the rehearsals are still at such an early stage, really shows just how phenomenal this show is going to be. I can now officially say I am a Starlight Express fan.
Roll on May 10th.
Tickets and all the venue information can be found here: http://bit.ly/StarlightDates
Have a nice weekend everyone, and Arlene will be back with her weekly update on Monday!

This year, St. Spyridon Church in Palos Heights, IL celebrates its 100th anniversary. Learn about the parish's humble beginnings and its growing community.
100 years of St. Spyridon Church
On Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017 Saint Spyridon Hellenic Orthodox Church in Palos Heights, IL will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Let's take a look back and learn more about this historic parish.
St. Spyridon Church of Palos Heights, IL celebrates 100 years of faith. IMAGE: saint-spyridon.org
History of Saint Spyridon Church
With its humble beginnings, the history of St. Spyridon Hellenic Orthodox Church centers on the servitude and faithfulness of its parishioners and priests. Following World War I, a handful of Greeks settled in the Pullman neighborhood. This group, was later known as the Greek political club, "Pericles".
On June 23, 1917, the group met to discuss starting a new community. The first dinner dance was held on Dec. 12, 1917 — the feast day of St. Spyridon – to raise funds for the new church. They decided to first establish a school, called the Pullman Greek School. Later renamed after 1st century writer Plutarchos, the school opened in 1920.
Protopresbyter Father Tilemahos Alikakos spoke about the earliest days.
"The parish was founded by people who faced great adversities as immigrants living in Roseland after World War I. Against all odds, they founded this community out of their love for the Orthodox faith and their Hellenic heritage.
Testimonies of some of our older parishioners revealed that the Roseland community was truly a family. St. Spyridon became a neighborhood church and the center of their religious and social life.
The original location of St. Spyridon church on Chicago's South Side,was purchased in 1918. IMAGE: saint-spyridon.org
Building a church
On May 13, 1918, the church's first property at 113th Street and South Park (now King Drive) was purchased. According to the church's website, the perseverance to raise the funds and build the church was not an easy feat. In fact, "tragedy struck the community when one of its members, a mother of three, was killed by a car as she walked door-to-door collecting money for the new church." Forced to face this unforeseen heartache, the community persevered and the church opened in July 1928.
In 1925, the predecessor of Saint Spyridon's Philoptochos, The Greek Ladies Society of Pullman "E Enosis", was founded. The group was founded to care for the community's orphans, as well as raise money to fund the school and build the church.
Over the years, the community expanded and more ministries were added. On July 7, 1929, the parish hosted their first festival. By December 1931, the parish established a choir. In 1936, the community's dance troupe made their debut.
Like many other city churches, in 1942, the Saint Spyridon Ladies Society joined the war effort, and established a Red Cross chapter.
By 1951, the church was expanded and further adorned. It was consecrated that year.

A new home
Fast-forward to the 1950s, and the parish saw its church building enlarged as membership was increasing. It wasn't until the late 1960s and early 1970s that a big challenge was about to take place. As time went on more families began to relocate out of the Pullman area and into the suburbs. This move prompted the church to relocate. Father Tilemahos reflected.
"To reach the centennial milestone, they also had to go through the tumultuous task of moving their church from Roseland to Palos Heights when circumstances drove all the parishioners to the southwestern suburbs. The fifty or so families who had remained in the parish worked with their own hands in the actual building of the church edifice and took great risks in keeping the community going. The parish has never had the grand monetary benefactors"
In 1974, St. Spyridon Church held its last Divine Liturgy at its Pullman church. The property was sold in 1976.
In 1975, the community purchased the property at its current location in Palos Heights, and broke ground on a new community center and gymnasium. The first Divine Liturgy was celebrated there on July 3, 1977.
The years that followed included setbacks in fundraising. However, in 1984, 12 board members stepped up with an agreement to loan $5,000 each to the community of St. Spyridon allowing the church to open. All the hard work paid off and in 1986, the church opened its doors. The Thyranixia took place on April 20, 1986, and new church was consecrated by Metropolitan Iakovos (then-Bishop) in November 1996.

"The parish relied on humble laborers who built a magnificent community in which we have the privilege to celebrate our 100th anniversary."
The church life now
In 2005, Archangels Academy, the first Greek Orthodox preschool in the south suburbs, was established.
Over the years, the parish has added more ministries to serve the changing needs of the community. Ministries have expanded to include a Byzantine Music school, and even an iconography school, to name a few. New church inconography was completed in November 2016, to kick off the 100th anniversary celebration. It was consecrated by Metropolitan Iakovos. Today, St. Spyridon Church serves more than 300 families.
100th Anniversary and beyond
As for the future, Father Tilemahos is optimistic that a new generation of Orthodox faithful will continue the good works that were started by the early parishioners.
"I can't help but wonder what this vineyard of the Lord will produce over what the next 100 years. For now, I am glad and honored to have had the opportunity to witness this milestone as the parish priest of this humble and devoted family of faith and tradition."
Father Tilemahos invites the entire Chicago community to be a part of this historic event. A very special part of the celebration will be the arrival of the Right Hand Relic of St. Spyridon to the parish, accompanied by Metropolitan Nektarios of Kerkyra. The parish invites the entire community to venerate the sacred relic during the week of October 11th-15th. Furthermore, Saint Spyridon's 100th Anniversary Celebration Gala will take place on October 15, 2017, at Georgios Banquets, 8800 W. 159th Street in Orland Park, IL. Tickets are $85 for adults and $25 for children. For tickets call 708.385.2311.

On November 21, 2013, I found myself standing in line at midnight to grab an Xbox One at launch. Part of this was to experience a midnight console launch again, part because as a freelance gaming journalist, I figured I needed to stay on top of things and part because I kept thinking "screw it, I want to play Dead Rising 3 as soon as possible." The point I suppose I'm trying to make here is that I was an early adopter of the Xbox One, and that meant I was also the owner of that much-mocked peripheral bundled with the early consoles, the Kinect.
I still am a Kinect owner, mind you. I wasn't a fan of it being a mandatory inclusion, but I felt that it had potential. Unfortunately, games that utilized that potential have been few and far between. Since its release, Fantasia: Music Evolved was the best game the Kinect had, being able to accurately deliver the feeling of being a composer in such a way that could only be done with such a peripheral. But personally, I always felt that what the Kinect needed most was a game that combined both motion controls and a traditional controller, in some unique fashion. And now, that game has finally come to fruition, thanks to Through Games and their unique 2D puzzle-platformer FRU.
Set among the crumbling remains of an old kingdom, FRU has you playing as a young child wearing a fox mask, attempting to make their way through the ruins and figure out what happened. The story behind everything is eventually revealed to you as you advance, and it's simple yet cute, but the main draw here is FRU's central gameplay mechanic. It's the somewhat traditional puzzle-platformer trick of having to navigate between two different dimensions/worlds, but with one notable difference: Here, the alternate world is located entirely within your body. To be more accurate, a silhouette of yourself is laid over the current screen, and the second, alternate world is shown within it. In order to get to the end of each level, you have to maneuver your body in order to uncover scenery and platforms, manipulate switches, crop out obstacles such as lava and spikes, and even provide an underwater area to swim through. Upon hearing this and/or seeing a few screenshots, you may think to yourself why the game just couldn't repurpose its controls or gameplay for a controller or a mouse. But after playing the game, the realization quickly comes that it simply just can't be done like that.
The thing is that FRU isn't a type of game where you can just draw or place shapes on the screen, or some other method, because this isn't the type of game where you have the time to casually switch between a new section of world that you make. Oh sure, things start out simple, but the levels become more complex as you move forward, to the point where things demand instant 1:1 reactions when it comes to having to shift the entire world around. And the Kinect is indeed quite possibly at it's finest here, able to capture your movements near-perfectly, and more accommodating for space.
In fact, the game is counting on you to move closer or farther away whenever you can, because it wants to see exactly what kinds of solutions you can come up with by moving your body around. The levels are perfectly designed, providing a tough but fair challenge that really makes you work up a sweat with each screen. And honestly, there is just something so inherently fun about the core concept, having to twist your limbs in various ways in order to get through a platformer like this. While it isn't a party game, it is the type you would definitely want to show off to all of your friends, just to see how you each would handle it.
Of course, you may be wondering how the actual platforming segments control if a good chunk of the game relies on you moving around. And the answer is "damn fine." Things are kept simple, with only the left thumbstick and LB button or right thumbstick and RB button used to move jump your masked friend around. It might sound awkward, but things have indeed been perfectly designed in order to make sure you can play the game one-handed without any difficulty at all. The trick, of course, is in moving both your body and your character when needed, which adds to the game's challenge in a tricky yet satisfying way, like the old task of patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time.
Aesthetic-wise, FRU is also a delight. Each of the worlds is simple and dark yet quite colorful and detailed, with little details such as crumbling statues suddenly turning new as you place your hand over them always being a nice touch, with various fauna and moonlit skies decorating each scene. And combined with the haunting yet upbeat music with a great "ancient city" feel, it perfectly helps craft the game's atmosphere and brings some life into this lost city's world, even providing a few chilling moments at times.
Unfortunately, FRU does have one notable flaw, and it may definitely be a big one for some people: It's short. Even if you're going for all of the golden bear mask collectibles, the whole game should only take about ninety minutes to two hours to complete at most. Mind you, it's still a highly satisfying experience that actually feels a bit longer than it is, and the difficulty level doesn't feel diminished because of it, but it's hard to complete the game and feel like it couldn't have greatly benefited from one or two more chapters, maybe give it the opportunity to flesh out the story just a bit more. I was hoping that the Bonus Mode the loading screens kept saying that I would earn for collecting said golden masks would add a bit more replayability, but it turned out that the "Bonus Mode" was actually just the prototype demo of the game seen at events such as E3. It makes for a cute extra, but it sadly only lasts about five minutes or so.
Closing Comments:
FRU bills itself as "The last Kinect game you'll ever need to play!" While it may be easy to make jokes about that statement just based on the first few words alone, what we have here is not only what may very well be the best Kinect game ever, but also one of the year's best puzzlers and platforming games overall. It is an absolutely creative, highly enjoyable and challenging (albeit short) darling that those who own the peripheral absolutely need to play. It is a true hidden gem that oozes innovative fun and is the type of game that deserves all of the encouragement it can get. Even if FRU ends up being one of the last Kinect games made, it ensures that the peripheral will be going out with quite a huge bang indeed.

As promised I'm keeping the humans in order. On a recent inspection I discovered the place was a right mess! Looks like the humans had been snuffling through the bins for some tasty leftovers. Now I may have a guilty look but I'm used to the "it wasn't me look" . Apart from my total disgust at the lack of biscuits during the development meeting I did get time to check out the new glass tiles…..Stunning! I look so handsome in the reflection, uhem, I mean I approve.

My Friend Little Fidget
Many rescue animals become our saviour, even though it is us who have rescued them. Full of love and appreciation they can change our lives forever. This letter is from Emily and Fidget, Fidget was adopted from us 2 years ago.
We've started building our new home.
Hi I'm Fenton and a few years back I was adopted from ARC by my new person who is working really hard on the new rescue home, of course under my strict supervision. Follow our progress and I will keep you updated with how well my humans are doing along with lots of photos. I will probably be in quite a few because I'm important. Here I am inspecting the pipework, I told them it needs a bit more work.
* Priority Case * Benny Boy
I am now 6 years old. I'm a loving dog with a big heart but I've seen many friends come and go but I'm still at ARC and have been for too long. Everyone is lovely here but I need my own special person who loves me, to snuggle up with at night.

Today I needed to be able to POSTto a form in order to submit for values as well as upload a file. All using HTTP POST.
The first step was finding out that there does not seem to be a native way to post both form parameter and upload a file together.allows for the parameter name/value pairs, but sets it's encoding type to which is incorrect for file uploads. The code for this would look something like this:
I found that RFC1867. The call would look like thisdoes set content type to , *BUT* there is no way to post parameters, and the request is not properly formatted. To clarify, it will work fine with a IIS webserver, but any other real webserver (Apache, Tomcat) would choke on the malformed output. Microsoft does not do standards too well if you have not noticed. Microsoft — if you are reading this, kindly go read
My main issue is not the incompatibility in this instance, but rather that I cannot post parameters and the file in the same post.
In order to solve this, I found a excellent class written by Gregory Prentice. I compiled the c# class and included a reference to it in my vb.net app. Then it was a simple matter of adding the reference and adding this code:
And booyah it works!

The Apple Car is a rumor that refuses to go away, and instead continues to gain traction. Now, a new report suggests Apple could be aiming to start production in just five years.
Based on a report published by Bloomberg on Thursday, February 19, Apple is said to be planning on entering the Car's production as early as 2020. This report comes from unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The report indicates that many auto manufacturers typically take anywhere between five to seven years when producing a vehicle, so Apple's goals are quite grandiose, to say the least.
"That's the inflection point — the proving ground — that brings on the electric age," Steve LeVine, author of "The Powerhouse," a book about the automotive battery industry, said on Bloomberg TV Thursday. "Now you have Apple coming in and this is critical mass. Was GM really going to be able to match Tesla? Apple can."
According to Bloomberg, both Tesla and General Motors are aiming to launch a vehicle in 2017, an electric car — much like the same vehicle that Apple is said to be manufacturing — that can go 200 miles on a single charge, but also cost less than $40,000. Apple's aim, if anywhere near this bar, could put a new level of competition for the other auto manufacturers.
Apple's put together a strong team, based on reports, and with this new timeframe established, it would seem Apple is indeed very serious about launching an Apple Car.

President Trump: Israel Does Not Need Another Intifada
Rumor has it that later this week US President Trump will announce that the US officially recognizes Jerusalem, or some part thereof, as the capital of Israel but will stop short of announcing a move of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. I am one Israeli who would urge him not to make that statement.
The statement itself is not new. In February 1992 former President Bill Clinton came out in support of recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. But when he finally took office cooler heads prevailed and he never issued a formal proclamation to that effect.
But now the US has a president who wants to do everything he can to placate those who elected him. So while he promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem if elected, President Trump has been reluctant to do so. Instead he may decide to throw a bone to his constituency by declaring that the US officially recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Now, in fact, those of us living here already recognize that Jerusalem is Israel's capital. The seat of government is in Jerusalem, the headquarters of all of the government ministries are here as are the Bank of Israel, the Israel Museum, the Supreme Court, and all of the national agencies that operate in the state such as Bituach Leumi (social security administration). To those of us living here we do not need the recognition of any foreign power to give credence to the fact that this is our capital.
But our cousins living among us as well as our often belligerent neighbors will see such a move as sufficient to light the fires of the tinder that passes for their grudging acceptance of our presence here. So what we are hearing now are the drums of yet another uprising, an intifada as they term it which, if the past is any indication, will only result in the loss of many lives, incredible property damage and billions of dollars in lost tourist revenue, among other things.
In the run up to the decision, the Palestinian terror organization Hamas said it would incite a new intifada, or uprising, if the United States recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Hamas on Saturday issued a statement calling on Palestinians to "incite an uprising in Jerusalem so that this conspiracy does not pass. This decision would represent a U.S. assault on the city and give legitimacy to (Israel) over the city," the statement added. "We call on the Palestinian people to stand as an impenetrable floodgate and a tall wall against this decision and renew the Jerusalem intifada."
Those of us living here do not take these threats lightly. While Arab governments around the region would probably moan and groan for a few days after such an announcement, their discomfort will dissipate. But, as we have seen all too many times previously, the government is not always able to control "the street." Based on experience all it would take is one unhappy incident to ignite a firestorm throughout the country.
Once that begins and blossoms, we know what happens next. People die, property is destroyed, tourism plummets, airlines question whether the country is safe for their aircraft, and anti-Israel demonstrations take place world-wide. Who needs that?
What advantage does a presidential statement of this kind have for us? None!
Who benefits from such a statement? Not us!
Is it important enough for us living here to pay the price for such a move? No!
Do we need to attend yet more funerals of lives that were wasted because of this insanity? No!
Would we be any worse off if the President said nothing? No!
So, as the lawyers say at the end of a trial, I rest my case.
Do us a favor Mr. President, spend your time dealing with your incredibly long list of domestic challenges and keep your mouth closed about us. If you need to find ways to mollify your unhappy constituency, do so with domestic actions and not on the backs of those of us living here who will end up paying the price for your folly.

Charitable Donation Advice
Charitable Donating Advice is a recurring column here at Change Gangs: Virtual Giving Circles so that we can make a big impact on the world. We know that sometimes it's hard to find money to donate, so here's a couple places that might help.
2 Websites Helping You Find Money to Donate
If you're like me, it can be hard at the end of the month to find money to donate. That's one of the reasons why I donate first. If I waited to the end of the month, I would inevitably spend that extra $50 on coffees, fac's, and other non-essential items. So, I have charitable donations as a part of my monthly budget and that dollar amount is automatically transferred to my giving circles. And if I can't spend it, I won't!
Here are a couple other tools that might help you find money to donate.
Kharma Goat:
Kharma Goat is just like Craiglist. You put your unwanted stuff up for sale, but unlike Craigslist, the buyer pays for the purchase with a credit card and 85% of the purchase price is forwarded directly to a charity of your choice.
Mini Donations
When you enroll with Mini Donations, they will take your credit card purchases and round them up to the nearest dollar. Those mini donations are collected into an account for you, and you can use these funds to make donations to your favorite charities. Mini donations will provide you with one statement at the end of the year with your tax deductible donations.

All my Adonai asks is that we give HIM praise and Glory. Adonai of my fathers Avraham, Yitz'chak, and Ya'akov.Yeshua is my saviour and we are made to worship HIM and sing His praises. The way to get outta poverty and lack is to sow seeds of generosity. This is a Kingdom principle that Adonai has taught us. Generosity is the key and this is a big kingdom principle. We give our way out of lack according to Pastor Steve and Kathy Gray. (see 2 Corinthians 9:10-13)
We sow seeds, We wait and then we harvest. Action is the key. Adonai begs us to take action. This does not make much sense in the earthly world but in the Kingdom of Adonai this is the only way.
Try it! It works. Study the successful men and women of Adonai. Study the successful men and women and they all do Kingdom principles.
By giving we are a blessing to others and then Adonai will bless us. For Adonai wants us to be successful.
2 Corinthians 9:10 -13. 10 He who provides both seed for the planter and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your tzedakah. 11 You will be enriched in every way, so that you can be generous in everything. And through us your generosity will cause people to thank God, 12 because rendering this holy service not only provides for the needs of God's people, but it also overflows in the many thanks people will be giving to God. 13 In offering this service you prove to these people that you glorify God by actually doing what your acknowledgement of the Good News of the Messiah requires, namely, sharing generously with them and with everyone. 14 And in their prayers for you they will feel a strong affection for you because of how gracious God has been to you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! " Complete Jewish Bible
Read it and see what Adonai has in store for us. "
