The present invention relates generally to sensor devices. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the present invention relates to devices and methods for monitoring and communicating environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity, solar radiance, etc.
The monitoring of environmental conditions has become critical in many applications. For example, the monitoring of temperature has become critical in food storage devices, perishable-item transportation systems, environmental controls, biological product management (e.g., blood shipments), mechanical failure warning devices (e.g., engine overheating detectors and wing icing detectors) and other similar devices. Additionally, other fields require that conditions such as humidity, pressure, and solar radiance be monitored.
With regard to the monitoring of temperature, for example, known systems utilize thermocouples and/or silicon based temperature measurement devices. A typical temperature system using a thermocouple is shown in FIG. 1.
One of the significant problems of any electronic environmental sensor such as temperature sensors is with the calibration of these types of devices (these types of issues are also present with other types of environmental sensors such as pressure, humidity and the like as well). Further different types of sensors are needed, just as in the temperature fields with different ranges of temperatures. The calibration and re-calibration of these types of system using different types of sensors or even the same types of sensors requires extensive time and effort either during the manufacturing process or during use.
If a direct to digital sensing system is to be deployed a user needs to know that the sensors and the system can be calibrated or is calibrated. An analog to digital conversion can be done by conventional techniques, but the calibration of the output to the real world and within the ranges of the sensor need to be made with respect to the real world ranges to be monitored.
Before describing an exemplary thermocouple system and its limitations, however, a brief background of known thermocouple technology is necessary. Thermocouples are temperature measurement devices that operate according to the Seebeck effect in which a unique self-generated voltage is produced at a given temperature when two dissimilar metals are joined together. In an effort to maximize performance, numerous combinations of metals have been examined to determine their output voltage versus temperature range. Two of the more popular metal combinations have been characterized under conventional industry terminology as Type K and Type E thermocouples. Although the full-scale output voltage of all thermocouples falls within the millivolt range, Type E thermocouples have the highest output with almost 80 mV at 1800� C.
To measure this relatively small output voltage, it is necessary to make connections to the wires forming the thermocouple. These connections form a second thermocouple (referred to as the cold junction) in series with the original thermocouple (referred to as the hot junction). To correct for any voltage output by the second thermocouple, the second thermocouple is often electronically corrected to zero degrees, i.e., the voltage is electronically corrected.
In the case of electronic correction, the temperature at the cold junction is measured, and the voltage that would be generated by the cold junction at that temperature is subtracted from the actual voltage reading. If the voltage versus temperature transfer function of the second thermocouple was highly linear, this subtraction would be all that was necessary to correct the reading. Unfortunately, the full-scale transfer function is usually fairly complex and requires several piece-wise approximations to maintain a specified accuracy.
Now referring to the typical thermocouple system 100 shown in FIG. 1, this version includes three thermocouples 102, 104, 106 for measuring temperature at three different locations. Each of these thermocouples 102, 104, 106 is connected by individual analog signal lines to specifically matched amplifiers 108, 110, 112 and each amplifier 108, 110, 112 is connected to a different input of a computer.
In operation, a thermocouple, such as thermocouple 102, generates a small voltage in response to a certain temperature. For a typical thermocouple, that voltage might be in the range of 1 mV at 25� C. Because this voltage is so small, it is fed into an amplifier 108 that is powered by voltage source Vs. The amplified voltage level is then communicated (through an analog transmission line) to the computer 114, which can translate the amplified voltage level into an actual temperature reading.
Although thermocouple systems like the one shown in FIG. 1 are somewhat effective, they are often prohibitively expensive and often lack the necessary resolution and accuracy for widespread use. As mentioned above, present thermocouple systems require a matched amplifier for each thermocouple. These amplifiers introduce added cost and added inaccuracies. Additionally, the analog output of the typical thermocouple, which is only in the millivolt range, is subject to interference by noise. To limit the impact of noise, the amplifier and the computer should generally be placed close to the thermocouple, thereby significantly limiting the placement of the thermocouple. Moreover, in certain embodiments, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is required to limit the impact of noise. Of course, this shielding can introduce non-trivial additional costs.
Another problem with present thermocouple systems is their lack of expandability and adaptability. For example, the number of thermocouples that a system can use is generally limited to the number of input pins for the computer—although some embodiments use multiplexers, and other complicated systems, to expand the number of thermocouples that can be connected to a computer. Additionally, each thermocouple, which only transmits analog voltage signals, should be placed on its own line rather than placing multiple thermocouples on each line. Thus, wiring the system shown in FIG. 1 often requires duplicative wiring and the associated additional costs.
Accordingly, present thermocouple systems suffer from significant deficiencies that limit the use of an otherwise beneficial technology. Although some of these deficencies are alleviated, but not eliminated, by silicon-based measurement devices, these devices also suffer from drawbacks such as limited temperature range. Thus, a device and method are needed that overcome these and other drawbacks in the present technology. In particular, but not by way of limitation, a system and method are need that efficiently, effectively and accurately measure temperature and other environmental conditions. Such a device and method could result in significant savings in both time and money for many industries and, additionally, could result in the spread of monitoring devices to industries that once shyed away from such devices because of excessive costs.
To remedy the deficiencies of existing systems and methods, the present invention provides a method and apparatus to monitor environmental conditions.
One of the various embodiments of the present invention includes: a thermocouple configured to generate a voltage indicative of how hot a junction temperature is; a memory device configured to store a unique device ID and to store data; a logic unit connected to the thermocouple and the memory device; an I/O interface connected to the logic unit, the I/O interface configured to communicate with a computer system; and an internal temperature sensor connected to the logic unit, the internal temperature sensor configured to determine a cold junction temperature. In this embodiment, the logic unit is configured to use the voltage generated by the thermocouple and the cold junction temperature to produce a digital indication of the hot junction temperature.
Further this type of arrangement, is only illustrative of the type of sensor that can be used in this type of system. The calibration of the sensor, be it a temperature device such as a thermocouple, silicon temperature sensor or the like, or a humidity device as will be discussed below or any other type of environmental sensor can be individually identified and addressed with a minimal number of connections and more importantly a calibration adjustment can be tied to each device. This tied calibration can be as complex as needed, using multiple coefficient polynomials or a simple adjustment using an offset or almost anywhere in between. The ability of any sensor to be tied to an address or to have a unique identity allows the reading device depending on the level of accuracy needed or desired to tie a calibration to a given sensor. Further, the unique ID address can be used as a URL extension or part of a URL address to download calibration data from or over, for example the Internet or an Intranet.
Various objects and advantages and a more complete understanding of the present invention is apparent and more readily appreciated by reference to the following Detailed Description and to the appended claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a temperature monitoring system;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the environmental monitoring device (EMD) shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a temperature monitoring version of the EMD shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of a humidity monitoring version of the EMD shown in FIG. 3; and
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 5.
Although the present invention is open to various modifications and alternative constructions, a preferred exemplary embodiment that is shown in the drawings is described herein in detail. It is to be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the particular forms disclosed. One skilled in the art can recognize that there are numerous modifications, equivalences and alternative constructions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the claims.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is illustrated a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, three environmental monitoring devices 202, 204, 206 (EMDs) (although more or less can be used) are connected to a computer 208 by way of two lines 210, 212. In this embodiment, line 210 is a digital data line and line 212 is a reference line. (In other embodiments, however, different connection schemes could be employed such as RF, fiber optic or other media jumpers.)
Each of the EMDs 202, 204, 206 are individually addressable by a unique ID. Thus, the computer can selectively communicate with individual EMDs. For example, the computer can poll the various EMDs to determine which ones are present at what locations. Alternatively, the computer 208 could poll a particular EMD to determine its type. That is, different types of EMDs (e.g., temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pressure sensor, photocell sensor, solar radiance sensor, thermistor, etc.) could be connected on the same data line 210 and reference line 212, and the computer 208 could poll a particular EMD to determine its type. Additionally, because each EMD 202, 204, 206 is individually addressable, virtually any number of EMDs can be connected to the computer, and they can be arbitrarily placed along the data line 210 and the reference line 212. (A more detailed description of one method of managing communication between the computer 208 and the EMDs 202, 204, 206 can be found in commonly owned and assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,210,846, entitled One-Wire Bus Architecture, which is incorporated herein by reference.)
Referring now to FIG. 3, there is illustrated a block diagram of one embodiment of an EMD 300 which can be of a type of EMD such as is shown as 202, 204 or 206 in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the EMD 300 includes an I/O interface 302, a control logic 304, a memory 306, a power supply 308, an internal temperature sensor 310, and an external temperature sensor 312. Although these pieces could be located in a single piece of silicon, good results are expected by having the external sensor 312 remotely located from the other components. (Other pieces can also be located separate from each other.) Thus, the configuration and connection of the elements shown in FIG. 3 may need to be adapted to accommodate these different placements of the external sensor and/or other components.
Referring now to the I/O interface 302 of the EMD 300, it includes two input lines: the data line 314 and the reference line 316, which can correspond to data line 210 and reference line 212, respectively shown in FIG. 2. In addition to communicating with the computer over lines 314 and 316, the I/O interface 302 can be configured to "steal" power from the data line 314 and store that power in a power supply of the EMD 300, which could be, for example, a capacitor. The components of the EMD 300 can then be driven using the stored power. By "stealing" power from the data line 314, the EMD 300 can be operated without an independent power source. (One embodiment of this parasitic operation is described in more detail in commonly owned and assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,862,354, entitled One-Wire UART for a Processor System, which is incorporated herein by reference.) Although the I/O interface 302 is described with relation to a two input, parasitic system, one skilled in the art will recognize that other interfaces and power supply systems can be used without changing the basic principles of the invention.
Still referring to FIG. 3, this embodiment of the EMD 300 includes a control logic 304 that is coupled to the memory 306, the internal temperature sensor 310 and the external sensor 312. The control logic 304 is configured to receive voltage levels from the external sensor and calculate the appropriate environmental condition therefrom. For example, when the external sensor 312 includes a thermocouple, the control logic 304 receives the voltage generated at the hot junction (not shown). This voltage is then adjusted according to the temperature at a cold junction (not shown) as determined by the internal temperature sensor 310. The control logic 304 can then use the adjusted voltage level to compute the actual temperature at the external sensor 312. (Alternatively, the adjusted voltage level could be digitally transmitted to a remote processor for conversion to an actual temperature.) This temperature reading (or voltage level) can be time-stamped and stored in the memory 306 where it can be accessed by the computer 208 (shown in FIG. 2). Additionally, the memory 306 can be configured to store a unique device ID that can be accessed by the computer 208. The memory 306 can also be used to store Seebeck constants, thermocouple type and calibration data.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is illustrated a circuit diagram of a temperature monitoring version 400 of the EMD 300 shown in FIG. 3. This embodiment includes a thermocouple 402 connected to voltage sensing inputs Vs+ and Vs− of a microcontroller 404. This microcontroller could be, for example, a DS2438 Smart Battery Monitor designed and sold by Dallas Semiconductor.
The microcontroller 404 is also connected to the data line 406 (which corresponds to data line 314 of FIG. 3) at input DQ and through a diode 410 to input Vdd. As described previously, the microcontroller 404 can "steal" operating power from the data line 406 by using the diode 410 and the capacitor 412. Thus, the data line is coupled to Vdd pin through the diode 410 and in which a charge is stored in the capacitor 412 so as to provide a means to power the microcontroller 404. The microcontroller 404 is also connected to the reference line 408 (which corresponds to reference line 316 of FIG. 3) at the REF pin.
Although the temperature monitoring version of the EMD 400 can be implemented in a variety of ways, good results are expected with the configuration shown in FIG. 4. One skilled in the art, however, can recognize that in addition to other modifications, the Schottky diodes 410 and the capacitor 412, for example, can be replaced, supplemented, or otherwise modified without changing the basic operation of the circuit.
Referring now to FIG. 5, there is illustrated a circuit diagram of a humidity monitoring version 500 of the EMD 300 shown in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, a humidity sensor 502 which for example could be a Honeywell HIH-3610 is connected through a resistor 514 to a voltage sensing input Vad of a microcontroller 504, which can be a DS2438 Smart Battery Monitor manufactured by Dallas Semiconductor or any other type of appropriate microcontroller. Additionally, the humidity sensor's Vdd pin is connected to the data line 506 through a diode 510 (which allows the humidity sensor to "steal" power from the capacitor 512 in the same manner as discussed above with respect to the diode 410 and the capacitor 412), and the REF pin is connected to the reference line 508.
As with the temperature sensing version of the EMD 400 shown in FIG. 4, the humidity monitoring version 500 has the data line 506 connected to the microcontroller's Vdd pin using the power stealing arrangement of diode 510 and capacitor 512. This implementation of the EMD 500 can also include Schottky diodes 510 and 511, capacitors 512 and 513 and a resistor 514. Although proper and efficient operation of the circuit as shown is expected, these components can be replaced and/or supplemented without changing the general operation of the circuit.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the operation of the circuit shown in FIG. 5. Initially, the humidity sensor 502 generates a voltage responsive to detecting a particular humidity level (step 602). This voltage is generally in the volt range rather than the millivolt range output by a thermocouple. Thus, the generated voltage can be feed into a Vad input, rather than the Vs+ and the Vs− inputs, of the microcontroller 504 (step 604). Next, the microcontroller 504 obtains a temperature reading taken from the internal temperature sensor 310 (step 606) (shown in FIG. 3) and uses that reading along with the received voltage to determine the proper humidity level. (Alternatively, the data could be transmitted to a remote processing unit for conversion to a humidity level.) This humidity level (or data related thereto) can be time-stamped (although not necessary) and stored locally and/or communicated back to the computer 208 (shown in FIG. 2) over the data line 506 (step 610).
In conclusion, those skilled in the art can recognize that the present invention provides an efficient, effective and accurate device and method for measuring environmental conditions. Additionally, those skilled in the art can readily recognize that numerous variations and substitutions may be made in the invention, its use and its configuration to achieve substantially the same results as achieved by the embodiments described herein. As an example although specific part numbers have been identified, equivalent circuits can be used as substitutes for the specifically identified circuits. Accordingly, there is no intention to limit the invention to the disclosed exemplary forms. Many variations, modifications and alternative constructions fall within the scope and spirit of the disclosed invention as expressed in the claims.

Aussie punters can now gamble on weekly auction clearance rates, after online betting website Sportsbet opened a new 'novelty' option.
Property enthusiasts can vote on three categories, what they think clearance rates will be in the Sydney and Melbourne markets, and which capital city will have the best clearance rate.
At $1.75, Sydney is the hot favourite to win, followed by Melbourne at $2.20, Canberra at $7.00, Brisbane at $10.00, Adelaide at $11.00, Perth at $15.00 and Tasmania in last place at $21.00.
Novelty trading and marketing expert at Sportsbet Will Byrne told Real Estate Business the introduction of the auction clearance rates was due to the huge discussion around it.
"Now we're seeing more coverage about the auction clearance rates," he said. "The focus is around Melbourne, but Sydney had a record last weekend, making a topical debate amongst everyday life that we thought we might as well get involved in conversation," he said.
"It's good to give the public an opportunity to actually have their say, especially if they plan on partaking in an auction on the weekend. It makes it a little more exciting for them to see how it's going to turn out."
Mr Byrne said the topic had received a good response and that it had been welcomed by people from within the industry because it put more attention on it.
This is the first time that Sportsbet had allowed people to vote on auction clearance rates. At the start of the year, the betting site gambled on the topic of housing prices and whether they would increase or decrease.
Auctioneer with Cooley Auctions, Andrew Cooley said his concern with betting on clearance rates was the accuracy.
"The figures that are put out by organisations like RP Data and APM are not 100 per cent accurate. So, to establish an accurate clearance rate is nearly impossible because if a property is withdrawn or not sold, a lot of agents don't necessarily record that result, so the official clearance rate is never really known," he explained.
"Personally, I don't have a problem with anyone betting on clearance rates. If you're trying to find an advantage, maybe it makes people pay attention to what's happening in the marketplace and it makes people think more about auctions and have a look at clearance rates and look at the results."
Will Hampson from My Auctioneer said that auctions were often analogised to a competitive sport, like horse racing and football.
"Australians love going to the races and betting on the horses. We've seen Australians getting behind and betting on their football team," he said.
Wife and colleague Kate Lumby from My Auctioneer agreed, saying she was surprised it had not happened already.
"Australians love auctions and that's why they are attracted to them like sporting events," she said.

|Re: Facet examples javadoc missing in 4.0?
|Sat, 24 Nov 2012 18:45:50 GMT
It's not that there were failures, but that you moved some tests under demo/ that should belong under facet/. That's the dependency I'm talking about. I tried to resolve it, but it wasn't trivial -- either these tests will depend on demo/, or we rewrite them to use their own data, which will take some time. It's not really a hack, it worked like that ever since 3.4, only recently removed. If you want, let's mark 3998 as a blocker for 4.1, but for now, this is what I'd like to fix: Index: lucene/facet/build.xml =================================================================== --- lucene/facet/build.xml (revision 1413130) +++ lucene/facet/build.xml (working copy) @@ -75,11 +75,22 @@ <target name="jar-core" depends="common.jar-core,jar-examples" /> <target name="javadocs" depends="javadocs-analyzers-common,compile-core"> - <invoke-module-javadoc> - <links> - <link href="../analyzers-common"/> - </links> - </invoke-module-javadoc> + <sequential> + <mkdir dir="${javadoc.dir}/${name}"/> + <invoke-javadoc + destdir="${javadoc.dir}/${name}" + title="${Name} ${version} ${name} API" + linksource="no"> + <sources> + <link href="../core/"/> + <link href="../analyzers-common"/> + <link href=""/> + <packageset dir="${src.dir}"/> + <packageset dir="${examples.dir}"/> + </sources> + </invoke-javadoc> + <jarify basedir="${javadoc.dir}/${name}" destfile="${build.dir}/${ final.name}-javadoc.jar"/> + </sequential> </target> </project> It's not the most pretty thing, but it does the work (I verified) and it'll be easy to fix it back if and when we handle 3998.

PinMe is one of those lovely apps that, without much effort, make our life easier.
That's how it works: it's supposed that when you're at your work place, or at the library, or church, or wherever where your phone can't start ringing out loud, you have to manually change your phone profile and set it on mute mode. Likewise, when you are at home you don't bring your phone along so if it's muted you won't listen to it when it rings.
PinMe uses your phone GPS to allow you to point out places in a map and a assign a profile to every one of them. According to the place you're pointing, you have to set a reasonable radius, because GPS doesn't know anything about walls. Once you've chosen a place, select or create a profile: turn on or off vibration and set volume at the highest or mute it. There's a help option where everything is clearly explained but, as maybe you have already seen, this app is as easy as practical.

I live in Greenville,S.C. a few years back as older adults we were allowed to adopt our Grand-children. At the time they were 2,3and4. It wasn't easy but we got by. Our house got run down because we couldn't afford to fix stuff. We signed up for free wood (to burn for heat) and these kind people saw how our home was and they came out and winterized our home. One man went to his church and talked about our family, and how we didn't have a tree up,yet. They came out with a tree,gifts and food for our Xmas.

"that it is better to give than receive is an axiom most don't believe But if you give it a shot one day You'll find nothing else feels that way The recipient happy to be thought of the giver finds an outlet for their love
Sherry OlsenDecember 12, 2013
I am blessed in what I have and would welcome the chance to help others!
Lynn ShiresDecember 12, 2013
I have so much and would love to help give back to help others.
Paula GillespieDecember 12, 2013
I believe giving really is better than receiving because God commands us to help others and to give to others and in the end we will be rewarded with an eternal life with our Lord. Seeing people receive items when in need is gratifying and rewarding just to see their faces alone. People who truly are in a situation where they need food, money, or anything else and then receive help, there is nothing better than seeing those individuals show gratification. Giving makes one happy and feel good about themselves, just think how those who receive feel!!!
Anna TheissDecember 12, 2013
Giving is a conscience choice to offer Love. One feels this on a level of soul connection. There are no questions about is this right or wrong. Giving is an expression of: Do with 'this' what you will. I want you to receive this gift and mold it into your desire and adventure. I want you to slip into the deep Love of the adventure or experience. Love You!
Kandance PalmerDecember 12, 2013
i have a sence of pride and self worth,when i give to others wheather it is a little or a lot .it makes me feel like i really make a difference in some ones life.i just dont say the words i have taught my children,who are grown adults by my actions.who in return passes on for future generations.

Help those less fortunate
Kathleen ClaytonDecember 12, 2013
I believe that a person can bring much Joy by giving to others. I always get back so much Joy just from helping others. Getting a sincere smile or Thank You brings me wonderful Joy and a Smile to my heart!
Rodger EmswilerDecember 12, 2013
My Stepdaughter is a cancer survivor and I see how much she gives to others even though she needs care. I would love to give to her the $5000 to donate in her name to help other less fortunate then her. Giving is all about bringing a smile to someones face no matter if the gift is material or yourself. When you make someone smile you receive the feeling back 10 fold.
Becky McElroyDecember 12, 2013
The warming feeling you get when they love your gift is so much better than any material gift you could receive
Whoneta BentonDecember 11, 2013
For me giving is the best feeling to have when you know that you have just put a smile on someone's face who is less fortunate than me.
Jennie RenselDecember 11, 2013
I believe giving is better than receiving because it is CONTAGIOUS. Giving is not about me- Todays culture is all about "me and now". When you give this focus shifts to other! Some who are down on their luck, some have never had any luck and some are just kids hoping for some luck!. When I can give, large or small, the smile is so rewarding it is contagious! It makes me want to do it again - buy another cup of coffee, another cart of groceries, another kids tag of the Christmas tree. When I give- I do receive:)
Judith CooleyDecember 11, 2013
Giving is so much more fun than getting something. When you find the perfect something for a loved one. I can't wait to see their face when they open the gift.
Ric KemptonDecember 11, 2013
The giving is always so much more rewarding...both for the giver and receiver...mainly because of how much the receiver needs the gift, and how much the receiver appreciates the gift. The more humble, the more true emotion from the receiver....and from this simple emotion of appreciation, the giver also receives the greatest gift....knowing that in some small way...something good has been done
Forrest SodergrenDecember 11, 2013
giving makes your heart grow with compassion and well being knowing your helping someone or giving someone what they need or want
Tia CunninghamDecember 11, 2013
I have two babies, I want to give mine of course to St Jude or Make A Wish.. My babies had problems being born and were born early... I wanna help families, make their baby's better...happy, give someone more hope. Giving this will check off in my Bucket list. To answer your question, Giving has always been better to me... I love to see the light in their eyes, it makes me feel like my heart is growing three times bigger, like the Grinch. Every time I get choked up with joy! Tis the season! and I <3 it!
Kim KaralusDecember 11, 2013
When I give a great gift, I love watching the receiver's expression. That look of utter joy brings a warm, happy feeling to me! When I "receive" I don't get to see my expressions!!!
Joleen LidstromDecember 11, 2013
Nothing feels as good as seeing pure joy on the face of someone you love. NOTHING.
Kerri WilliamsDecember 11, 2013
When my youngest daughter was born she was very ill and my family needed to rely on the help of others. Now 13 years later, we have a healthy teenager and our family gives back to our community and those in need every chance we get.We know first-hand how important it is to help others at every opportunity,but especially during the holidays. If it weren't for the kindness of strangers we might not be able to help others who are struggling today and we always try to keep in mind ~ there but for the grace of God, go I.
Emily TesinaDecember 11, 2013
Receiving gifts is a fun experience, but it can also plant a seed of greed. Giving of your time, your money, anything you are, plants seeds of joy, fulfillment, and happiness knowing you made someone else's day better and brighter.
Barbara LopatinDecember 11, 2013
No matter what your circumstances are giving always feels better than receiving. Putting others first takes the focus off yourself, and especially during lean times, makes you recognize your blessings realizing there is always someone out there who needs you more.
Heather MossDecember 11, 2013
I think giving IS actually receiving, and is much better than receiving a material item. When you give to a loved one, a friend, or a person in need, it is emotionally fulfilling. When I observe that I created happiness for someone, it makes me happy. And happiness is truly one of the best gifts, far more valuable than any materialistic item that can be received.
Yvonne RorieDecember 11, 2013
When I give, it helps to lower my blood pressure, it relieves stress and it makes me glow. People notice that there is something difference about you and it makes them inquire. When they find out what is making you so happy, they want that feeling too. And in turn they give.
Valiantsin ZakhvatkinDecember 11, 2013
To share, to give A happiness's slice, For sure better than receive It has value, no price! To see a smile on someone's face And shine and light in pretty eyes Make special every person's days Make home-Earth a very kind and nice! Let's give a joy, let's give a fun Lets' share warmth, blue sky and sun And every day we still believe That GIVING better than RECEIVE! We all get something from the life, more or less. And if we share with others, we can keep the balance in our world and try to make people happy!!!
Greg VollDecember 11, 2013
At the end of the day, we all need to realize that we're all fortunate and there's many with much less so it's necessary to try and help through charity for those less fortunate.
Mark HeberleinDecember 11, 2013
That feeling you get when you see someone smile when they receive something truly unexpected is indescribable. It is a high like no other. In just about every religion & philosophy for living there is something about being generous and giving. There is just something universal & plain good about giving. It must be hard-wired into us as human beings. The holidays are just an excuse for us to justify that feeling to ourselves and each other.
Victoria LeustekDecember 11, 2013
Everyone has been in that situation where you are on the "unlucky" side...Well giving is a way to help put a smile on a face and heart of someone who lost "That loving feeling". Giving is a way of paying it forward for all the blessing big and small that are in my life. It is the best medicine to help you and someone around you remember we are all here together, and today, by giving, is my "HUG" to you. Enjoy Life, laugh often, give freely and you too will be blessed.
Linda WilsonDecember 11, 2013
Lots of people need help and giving to them is making life better for everyone.
Sharon GilstrapDecember 11, 2013
Giving is so rewarding because you get to have a powerful impact on someone else - it helps you rise about whatever circumstance you are dealing with and be someone who creates the possibility of a better life for another human being or animal. I have an Autistic son and he has shown me how to be loving, generous, compassionate and patient with people in a way I had never known before. The feeling I am left with when I give is gratitude for being someone who makes a difference.
Keith KrenekDecember 11, 2013
From one person's viewpoint (let's call him Joe), receiving warms the heart of only Joe, while giving warms the heart of Joe plus the recipients of Joe's gifts. So Joe can choose to receive and know that he will be happy, or he can choose to give and know he and others will be happy. Mathematically, giving is better than receiving.
Lynn WestonDecember 11, 2013
There is nothing like the warm and happy feeling you get when you see the look in the person you love's eyes after you take the time to pick out the perfect gift for them and you know you got it just right.
RB HaskillDecember 11, 2013
I believe that life is about others, reaching out to them, doing for them, and giving to them. The greatest gift is to give, and if you must receive, receive a friendship, a handshake, or a smile.
Justin EilertDecember 11, 2013
i believe that giving is better than receiving because when you give somebody a gift it makes them happy and puts a smile in their face which in return puts one on my face. if i won the 5000 dollars i would buy rides in the NASCAR cars for all of my 5 brothers who would love the experience.
Rita LazarDecember 11, 2013
I believe that some who is giving a gift is giving it from the heart. And when giving from the heart it does not matter what the cost is, or what it is it is the thought that really counts.
Mary beth BaskinDecember 11, 2013
Because the memories of giving make me smile much longer than the ones of receiving!
Michael CassidyDecember 11, 2013
Giving brings joy - to give joy is the best gift anyone can give, and to witness it in a smile, or tear, is the best gift anyone can get.
Gina JimenezDecember 11, 2013
its better to give because there are people out there who have nothing and to see they face when they see people actualy care is the best thig you can do
Julie FraserDecember 11, 2013
to put a smile on someone's face when knowing you will get nothing in return is true Christmas spirit. Even a small token can brighten a hopeless day. Teaching the younger generation to appreciate all of those around you, by paying it forward will hopefully carry over for generations to come. Go ahead walk in another person's shoes and realize how blessed you really are. Giving will change your heart for the good. Merry Christmas!
Susan SpannDecember 11, 2013
Because while the newness of things received wears off, the joy of giving to others lasts much longer and makes you much happier.
Travus LawrenceDecember 11, 2013
receiving a gift put a smile on your own face, but giving is a gift all its own. why settle for one smile when you could touch the lifes of so many others.
Douglas HagenDecember 11, 2013
Love to see the smile on their faces..........
Alena SvetelskaDecember 11, 2013
it makes me feel good to make other people happy.
Cat DelgadoDecember 11, 2013
I believe that "giving REALLY is better than receiving" can be a deceiving statement because when you give of yourself, you will find your treasure. I am a parent advocate for a developementaly delayed adult daughter, and I also work in an inclusive elementary class. I would donate to ACLD (Adults and Children with Learning Disabilities and Developmental Delays, Inc.) who work so very hard to give their participants "An enviable life" http://www.acld.org/
Madeline MilianDecember 11, 2013
Everyone of us has a purpose and it is to serve others the minute we figure this out our lives become abundant in so many ways. Giving is that action of love and the more you give God or the universe responds by giving us more. I love to give others not only things but expiereces things fade or go out of style but expierences last a lifetime because they live in us.
Lisa WhitfordDecember 11, 2013
When I look at the person or family that you help and know that a smile and a hug is priceless, the Joy you give someone is the gift. It's amazing what giving can really teach you, I look at it this way doing something nice for someone without question can mean more than what ever you can receive, In Life we all go through something and one little giving can help you too giving back means you already have received your gift. So I feel that means a lot more.
Gregg MacMillanDecember 11, 2013
Givers gain.
Tina VitaleDecember 11, 2013
I believe giving is better than receiving because when i give someone something that makes them gasp or cry or otherwise react favorably, I know it will be something they will remember for a long time which in turn brings me great happiness and joy. By giving,I am also receiving something special and wonderful too.
Dominique GrabbeDecember 11, 2013
One simple gift is more than just an object. Giving to others will not only fill the giver feelings of selflessness, lovingness, kindness, and joy. It could do everything from creating a smile to changing a persons life. Everyone deserves to feel loved or thought of. Gifts can provide hope or comfort in all shapes and sizes. We really do get more from giving to one another. That is why I believe giving truly is better than receiving.
Lisa FuryDecember 11, 2013
Giving is better than receiving because giving teaches humility, which leads to compassion, making the world a better place to live in.
Denisse RomoDecember 11, 2013
Giving is always better than receiving, I was raised to always give and never expect anything in return. I was raised that when you give with one hand you shall receive with both hands, God is big and he makes sure that when you give, it will work in magical ways that everything you need will work out. To the people who wish they could receive anything shall always know to receive the love that people have to offer because that is the biggest thing that motivates a person to move forward.
Sharyn ArmstrongDecember 11, 2013
If you live by the philosophy and give, then you shall be rewarded by happiness that you have gifted to someone who is less fortunate that yourself.
Christine BiltonDecember 11, 2013
I believe it is my privilege to make a powerful impact on those I come into contact with in my life. When I look back, I can think of no greater reward than seeing my life touch others for good. As much as it depends on me, I want to leave a legacy of hope, strength, and encouragement to empower others so that they can in turn become a blessing to someone else. A cycle of love cannot easily be broken and one person can do much, in sacrificial giving, to fulfill another's life!
Gretchen CoughlinDecember 11, 2013
Just knowing you have found someone that perfect gift something that. Shows you took time to really think about something that touches their heart makes you feel better than anything you could recieve i think
Annmarie CullenDecember 11, 2013
The feeling one receives when giving gifts actually increases their happiness than when receiving. At least, that is the way I feel! I have always loved shopping for others. It's also fun to buy gifts for others, "just because". It lets you know you always are thinking of them and that you appreciate them. You don't have to wait for a special occasion to give. Again, it brings me joy and. I believe gives you to those who receive the gifts as it lets them know they are a special person in my life.
Marilyn LibarisDecember 11, 2013
Most people have enough stuff. Giving is about helping those who can't provide for themselves. Than's just right.
Kevin LibarisDecember 11, 2013
Needing essentials is a given. So is getting those to ones experiencing rough times.
Tim LibarisDecember 11, 2013
I've seen the difference it makes
Audrey EconomosDecember 11, 2013
There is nothing better than making someone smile..
Sarah WoodsDecember 11, 2013
Its the feeling of good on the inside; it relieves the heart, lifts the spirit and gives rewards that money can not buy
Shannan ClelandDecember 11, 2013
The ultimate example of a "it is better to give than receive" life is Jesus. He gave His all for nothing in return. I want to follow in His footsteps. In the end we take nothing with us, only what is done for Him will count. To show others kindness and love is pure joy. To give of yourself, without expecting anything in return, is where the blessing lies. We try to teach this lesson to our 6 children....to instill in them love and compassion and joy in giving to others.
Cheryl PetersonDecember 11, 2013
Watching the expression on someone's face when they receive an unexpected gift, not matter what the monetary value, is a pleasure you will remember for the rest of your life. Surprising a close friend, complete stranger, or charity of your choice is the gift that keeps on giving!
Lisa LodterDecember 11, 2013
Giving really is better than giving. The feeling I get when I give to someone is simply heartwarming. It's the way we should always should want to feel!
Donna GuintoDecember 11, 2013
It gives me joy to see happiness on others faces which is then the best gift for me
PhyllisJ AlexanderDecember 11, 2013
to make one person smile is all it takes
CHRISTOPHER CARRIERIDecember 11, 2013
Shirley RomeroDecember 11, 2013
Money doesn't last as long as the forever memory of the smile on the face of someone that receives a gift from you and the feeling it gives you in giving it, and hopefully it's like a pebble dropped in a pool of water that causes a ripple effect, a ripple of paying it forward.in blessings of love and caring.. Giving with no intent of repayment is such a gift of heartfelt caring.
Elizabeth BrethourDecember 11, 2013
When you give something to someone you both receive something wonderful--more than the gift itself--for the recipient, the joy of knowing that someone cares, is thinking of you, and wants to make you happy and for the giver--knowing that you've bestowed that feeling in the recipient.
SN DreamDecember 11, 2013
There are too many reasons. It truly gives you a sense of purpose in life. Giving is receiving. It's healthy. It fulfills you and brings you light. And the more you give to those who are less fortunate and don't have a voice (my charity), it's a reason to live. Giving is about love. Loving without any selfish expectations. And love is the most incredible feeling in the world. Love is happiness.
Regina ElliottDecember 11, 2013
Ive lost almost everyone in my family including a son last year ,and more recently my 79 yr old neighbor who has been like a father to me , i know that giving is much better than receiving just look at their faces when they get a gift, that is how you know and also i get gifts everyday just by knowing my friends and their children ,my hubby ,and my sons and my little missy girl ,so if you give you get back more in time so give with your heart and share a smile
Susan VantslotDecember 11, 2013
If I'm ever in a sad mood or things are completely hectic at home with the family, giving to those less fortunate or just living on hard times, is the quickest and easiest way to make me feel better. My children have learned by my "giving ways" to do just the same. They too are givers and it makes me so happy to know that I have raised my 3 children to show empathy, love and compassion towards others all year long.
Kelly HendricksDecember 11, 2013
Seeing the genunie smile, joy and excitement in someone's face when you give a gift is truly the magic of the season!
Fran RikDecember 11, 2013
The memories of giving last forever. Receiving last only for the life of the usefulness of the item.
Lori RikDecember 11, 2013
When you give you actually get more back in return - for ex. adopting a pet and while you've saved a life, the pet will hopefully change your life -- for the better!
Judy ManleyDecember 11, 2013
I love giving better than receiving because I feel like I already have so much in my life that giving someone else something that they could really use is the most fulfilling thing.
Marta NovotnyDecember 11, 2013
You feel so much better when you see the person's face that you give to.
Lena EdwardsDecember 11, 2013
Though giving is often done because we care, I also think that giving can be selfish. This is because of the wonderful feeling of joy I experience when I make someone smile when I give something to them. You never know when the one small gift you give might be just the thing needed to lift the spirit of a person who might be at a very low place in life.
Brandi BornscheinDecember 11, 2013
I just absolutely love seeing the look on loved ones faces when they open their gifts from me! They know that I take the time to pick something out that specifically pertains to an interest of theirs. It warms my heart! I truly believe that giving is WAY better than receiving. :)
Gayle SreibersDecember 11, 2013
Giving REALLY is better than receiving because giving puts joy into the hearts of those you love!
Cindy NelsonDecember 11, 2013
When you have the right perspective, there is no better feeling in the world than that feeling of when you are able to give someone something you know they will value and appreciate.
Kathy BetzholtzDecember 11, 2013
I believe that giving is better...To state the obvious, for like minded people, it feels RIGHT. But more importantly, it feels as if it atones for any bad (big or small) you (I) have done in life. I cannot make it all perfect but I can try to balance it out. I am a (admittedly) selfish person and have dwelt on my problems for too long…I believe that if I hope for good for a stranger who has worse problems than I have it may erase my past bad(s). This is meant with most sincerity
Janet CollierDecember 11, 2013
I FEEL ITS MY DUTY TO PROVIDE GOOD WILL TOWARD MANKIND. Ialso really enjoy helping my family and friends
Naomi SeelyDecember 11, 2013
It makes my heart feel great and I smile more.
Lucinda HynesDecember 11, 2013
Because I love to see the faces of the people so happy when I give them something they really hold dear.
Charity ThomasDecember 11, 2013
some people in this world have no family and the reality of it sets in around the holidays, i like to take food, blankets and toiletries to those who feel like they have no one left to help. we also volunteer at the soup kitchens, and donate unwanted clothes to the homeless. i also take my children to visit the elders in the senior homes with no family to visit them, it gives me joy to see there joy.
Cyndi MarshallDecember 11, 2013
To see utter surprise, excitement and sheer joy over giving such a unique gift that you know will be a priceless memory is heart warming.
Rose Ok isDecember 11, 2013
I love to watch my friends and family happy faces when they open there gifts and get what they have been wanting .making other people happy makes me happy and just beening with my family just makes me feel the spirt
Candy MerryDecember 11, 2013
Giving really IS better than receiving because even giving the smallest gift to someone can brighten their day and yours! It gives me a warm happy feeling to see a smile on someone's face. Expecially during the holiday season
Donna RollmanDecember 11, 2013
I'm rich in many ways & none of them are monetary. I have a warm home, food on my table, grown children , 4 grandchildren , a wonderful husband of 38 years , my health. And I'm a giver. I give knowledge ,I give tokens of appreciation, I do whatever I can to help a bad situation , or job, .I don't expect anything in return. I host functions. I give myself to everyone and what I get back money can't buy. Smiles, hugs, comfort, relief , the words I love U , thanks. By giving I'm definitely receiving.
Lori WeyerDecember 11, 2013
Giving is truly better than receiving when one understands what it really means to give. True giving is rooted in love. It is not about the GIVER and making them feel better about themselves. It is an act of kindness that is unconditional and doesn't expect something in return. Genuine giving is an act of love. And yes, giving is better than receiving, but LOVE surpasses them all.
Susie FontenotDecember 11, 2013
My word.. giving is always better than receiving.. everyone knows that. you give without ever wanting anything in return.. ever...
Brooke MaderDecember 11, 2013
It's amazing to make someones day!! I love to see my friends, family, and even strangers light up and maybe have a better day all because someone thought of them.
CHERYL HAYNESDecember 11, 2013
There is such joy in giving and you cant get it from getting-Jesus told us to give it away. It is time for us to "pay it forward". Thank you to those that have given to my family in time of need
MARY THOMASDecember 11, 2013
when you give to someone,the look of happiness and thankfulness from the receiver is great, but it's more the feeling I get. I love to give to others, it makes me feel like I helped or made their day. It's one of the best feelings a person can have.
Lucy McCreaDecember 11, 2013
It is so nice to receive a gift. But nothing compares to the warmth of knowing you have done something to help someone who needs your help.
Elias MannehDecember 11, 2013
I will make it short and simple .... " Giving is the art of caring and caring is loving and sharing .... "
Rick WheelerDecember 11, 2013
Giving is a way of feeding your own soul. The warm feeling inside reminds yourself that although there are people that need help, there are people that are willing to be there for them, and to be one of those people is an awesome thing. To know you are helping for no other reason oher than you can, there's nothing quite as fulfilling. It's not for the recognition of doing a good deed, it's to renew faith of good men on the earth. There are still good and faithful people who will help those less fortunate, even total strangers.
Nancy RoweDecember 11, 2013
The joy you give to others when you give them something is priceless. The sparkle you see in their eyes and the smile that breaks into a grin. When you give your time to help someone else succeed or accomplish something, it makes you have a sparkle in your heart. Once you give to others, it provides a chain reaction--others helping others.
Debbie WrightDecember 11, 2013
Giving is better than receiving to me because there is no better feeling in the world than to make someone happy and to help them feel special.
Mary-Jane Shipman-MunharveyDecember 11, 2013
Giving is better than receiving because it gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling to see the expressions of surprise and delight on a loved one's face when they open the gift. Love is best shared, which is why is enjoy giving than receiving. I sure hope to be able to give my honey a Cloud 9 experience this year for his special Christmas Gift.
Kim CarrDecember 11, 2013
My husband is the most amazing man. He had faith in me when my faith was gone. His kindness taught me and my 6 year old daughter that wishes can come true; a safe, loving and happy family could really be ours. Nels is my knight. He would love to fly in a military jet or ride in an Indy Car. When we see this on TV he says, "If only..." How many times I said that years ago. Please help his, "If only..." wish come true.
Karen FarrDecember 11, 2013
Seeing the joy on someone's face as they receive a special gift is just like receiving a gift yourself.
Ken LambDecember 11, 2013
going on an adventure is great, giving an adverture is rewarding knowing the fun and meaningful memories they are going to make!
Leyssa DenisDecember 11, 2013
During the holiday season, one custom that is shared across many religious and cultural traditions ranging from Christmas to Hanukkah to Kwanzaa is the act of giving to others.During this holiday season, let's not lose sight of the value of giving to others. It does not matter whether you give lots or little, give gifts or intangible things. What matters most for meaningful happiness is appreciating the importance of those around you, family, friends, and community, and to do so each and every day of the year and not just simply on Christmas morning.

I believe giving really is better than receiving because there is always somebody else out there worst off than you that deserves it more.
Roy FouchDecember 10, 2013
Giving and receiving are both nice. Receiving answers the immediate sensation of happiness. Giving fills your heart with humility and gratitude. Both add a positive joy to life but giving lasts longer.
Linda SmithmyerDecember 10, 2013
Because it makes u have a bigger heart
Claude PruittDecember 10, 2013
Because so many have so much less than I do!
Jan LintemootDecember 10, 2013
Always share and share alike is what I believe.
Verna BeckersDecember 10, 2013
To give is to see the joy on their faces and warms your heart and the one who receives the gifts.Especically the one who can't afford a nice getaway Your company caters to these outings with care to the customer. My daughter gave us one last year and enjog it would like to pass one the experience to deserving person of family
Barbara BaxterDecember 10, 2013
I truly love giving gifts to family & friends.not too long ago there was a woman (homeless) laying on a bench in downtown co. a lady came over and gave her a loaf of bread and I gave her 5.00. that made me feel so good to help people that need it so badly. I know I have a son who is in the same situation. I love giving to my grandchildren. they asked their mom, how does grandma always know what to get us. its fun and to watch their sparkling will melt your heart. its just rewarding
Eileen LucianiDecember 10, 2013
Reciving is wonderful, however giving can make or break a persons life. By giving, a person can feel better about themselves. When a person feels better about themselves they will be more productive for everyone.
Ross HuttoDecember 10, 2013
It use to make me feel good to help out others when I could. Now it seems I don't have a choice with the way our society and government is shifting to a socialist attitude to "spread the wealth" to those who CHOOSE to not help themselves. It's getting pretty tight around my house now.
Debbie SmithDecember 10, 2013
simply because of how it makes you feel when you give back/pay it forward!
Yoonjung JangDecember 10, 2013
I believe giving is better than receiving. Seeing the smile of the recipient is priceless. Being able to give others in need brings joy as well.
Jessica QuinonesDecember 10, 2013
Witnessing that childlike smile on someone's face & knowing you played a part in enhancing someone's day or week is what makes giving better than receiving. Their is no greater fulfillment than giving generously and graciously just for the pure happiness of others.
Michael EdingtonDecember 10, 2013
The gift of seeing a smile on someone is worth more then any amount of money that I have.
Fiona LondonDecember 10, 2013
Nothing can compare to the feeling in your heart when you see the joy on someone's face when there opening the gift they've always wanted.
Christine RedmanDecember 10, 2013
Giving makes my heart warm and toasty! When I give a gift or perform a random act of kindness to someone I love deeply or even to a stranger, it fills me with a sense of complete fulfillment. Giving is better than receiving because making other people happy makes me smile bigger and brighter than when I receive. When I give, it is contagious and encourages others to give and me to keep thinking of new ways to make others smile.
Cheryl SandstromDecember 10, 2013
I'm a firm believer in giving & helping others because there is always someone that is worse off then you in anyway (ex. health,family,financial). I am not wealthy but I volunteer & do what I can for others, most of the time without them asking. It does not cost a thing to make someone smile or give them a helping hand when they need it. Life has not always been easy for me & I know it is the little things or gestures that you can do for someone that they remember forever! Pay it forward, karma :)
Mike GreenDecember 10, 2013
I've spent over 20 years giving throughout the year volunteering in youth sports, simply because it feels good to help others. I've been fortunate to see kids learn, grow and to directly help them experience something they may not have had the chance to experience. In my humble opinion, that is a very fulfilling way to live.
Natalie TuckerDecember 10, 2013
There's so many in this world that just can't afford a gift nor do they have family who can afford to buy them one!
Kristina MathisDecember 10, 2013
Giving is better than receiving to me because I don't get that excited feeling when opening a gift for me as I do when someone is opening one from me. I have a good life and really don't want for things ( except the usual new wardrobe, car, and all my loved ones problems worries and debts to be gone) so it just deep down makes me feel good to make someone smile. If only more people would catch on what a wonderful world this could be 😊
Karen RamseyDecember 10, 2013
Because by giving joy to someone else, you recieve it too. It's a win-win situation.
Sandra LivramentoDecember 10, 2013
I believe that everyone wants to be used for a greater purpose. The universal question asked by people around the world is why am I here. When we give to others, I believe we start to find that answer. Giving blesses the giver just as much as the receiver. When we help others, we end up helping ourselves too. Additionally, giving is showing a demonstration of love. We all need to see more of that. Therefore, giving, not receiving, is what begins and sustains a cycle of helping, healing, and love that should never be broken.
Paige MckenzieDecember 10, 2013
I believe giving not only puts a smile on your face, but it fills your soul as well. Doing something nice for someone is very contagious, and attracts very positive energy. The gift of giving, leaves you with a feeling that is PRICELESS. It would be very difficult to give and not receive, it just won't be of monetary value.
Brett McDavidDecember 10, 2013
What makes us survive and grow stronger as a society is our altruistic bent that lifts all of us up. The receiver gets support and in return has an expectation of fairness, the giver receives social benefit and a healthy boost of joy.
Ronnie WilsonDecember 10, 2013
Giving gives you the opportunity to see the joy in others eyes which really is a gift in itself. Giving is rewarding, it makes not just the person feel special for receiving a gift from you, but you yourself feel a like you've conquered the world just by making someone else happy.
Destini WillisDecember 10, 2013
I absolutely love giving out gifts weather its Christmas, Valentine's Day or a birthday. I guess the reason why is too see the expression of excitement and surprise on their face. I bought my husband a NASCAR experience in this year for his bday and thought he was going to fall out of his chair. Your gifts help me to see the smiles and excitement on my friends and families faces.
Cherryl ColeDecember 10, 2013
Nothing feels better than giving from your heart. Making someone else happy is a privilege. I wish I could give more.
Patricia PriceDecember 10, 2013
Giving is so much better than receiving especially when it is well deserved. My husband is a Vietnam Vet who has lost "many brothers of war" but his older and younger brothers to heart attacks and his wife to cancer as well. Last year I gave him the ridealong which was unreal. This year, whitewater rafting, I can't wait to see his reaction. Giving to someone who has lost so much is the best feeling in the world. Thank you Cloud 9. I couldn't have done it without you.
Brian MacMillanDecember 10, 2013
Karma, what goes around comes around.
Kathy McAllisterDecember 10, 2013
Giving back to the community,move forward the good thing that I have in my life. Moving forward the good gives the opportunity for the recipient to move forward to someone else. It can be as small as a thank you or helping hanf. Like a pebble thrown in a pond;watch the ripple effect. I'm physicallydisabled retired teacher and I try to do this everyday. MOVE FORWARD.
Lesley RobinsonDecember 10, 2013
"Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give."
James PintorDecember 10, 2013
It's good for the soul!
Dave RoeDecember 10, 2013
I love to see the smile
Kristen KoshebaDecember 10, 2013
In a way, giving is also receiving. The joy you receive from blessing someone's life is one of the most beautiful gifts. Not only that, but putting someone before yourself, putting their needs before your own, and giving selflessly, will bless your life in ways you never imagined, maybe at the times you need it most and from people you might least expect because when you give, you take that joy with you and inspire others with it..and what goes around comes around. It's a beautifully contagious thing.
Michelle CoyDecember 10, 2013
The delight of a huge smile on someones else's face that you helped place there! The warm inner glow that you feel knowing you have made someone's day a little brighter..
Jill DavisDecember 10, 2013
Making other people happy makes me happy!!! Giving someone something they love that they never would think of getting for themselves is a hundred times better than getting something myself:)
Cindy EnckDecember 10, 2013
Where your treasure is..there is your heart also. Do you want your heart to belong to your possessions, or do you want to use what God has given you to bless someone less fortunate than you?
Nikki jo DipalmaDecember 10, 2013
Giving makes my heart and soul feel good. Even if all I can give is my time. Sometimes companionship is the best gift of all. Giving is receiving.
Shannon WaldronDecember 10, 2013
Giving to others is truly the most self less thing you can do. Theres nothing like the joy on another persons face when you give them something they really appreciate getting. Theres no better feeling in the world than feeling like you are a blessing to others
Lauren VeenstraDecember 10, 2013
Giving feels so much better than receiving! The Holidays are about the gift of giving!!!
Sandra VillaDecember 10, 2013
Giving is so much better than receiving because the feeling you get after making someone happy by getting them something is very beautiful and rewarding. At the end giving makes the other person happy but yourself even happier!
Kitts JodiDecember 10, 2013
Because you can really make a difference to a person, animal or cause in their effort for betterment. Often, most people who are making the true difference in lives but themselves and their needs last. A charity can really help people feel good. Doing good= Feeling good.
Christine ThomasDecember 10, 2013
This is my motto for life. We have raised our Daughter to live by this since she was a baby and she lives by it today. As a baby and every year on, just before Christmas, She would pick out her toys to give to our local shelter. It was always a beautiful feeling to help those less fortunate and adopting families from the battered women shelter to buy presents for the holiday. it didn't matter if anything was under the tree. Sharing & Giving is the reason for the season.
Victoria LeonardDecember 10, 2013
When you give to someone it is a completely different feeling than receiving. To see someone's smile or gratefulness when you give to them something they cannot get themselves is one of the best feelings. The exrsssion and happiness on someone's face when you give to them is all worth it
Jane BurkeyDecember 10, 2013
The more I give, the I receive.
Mary HayesDecember 10, 2013
I love to see how happy people are when they receive something they have been really wanting or needing.
Sherri ThomasDecember 10, 2013
Not only do you have the fun of shopping for the perfect gift, but then you get to experience the joy of the recipient.
Janine RafalkoDecember 10, 2013
If you truly love someone or care about them, then seeing the look on their face when you give them something you know they will love and enjoy - this is actually better than receiving.
Teresa HurtDecember 10, 2013
Everyone deserves self-worth! We are all special and have something important to contribute in our own way. That's why it is so important to share a smile and enlighten happiness in others around us. Happiness is contagious so spread it around by giving it to others!
Leah AllenDecember 10, 2013
You get more joy seeing the smile and love on another person's face than getting your own gift. It makes you feel good and wonderful inside and no one can take that away from you. Once you do it you will be hooked and want to do it again and again. You can't recreate that feeling you get when you give someone else a gift.
Heather SandersDecember 10, 2013
Giving is better than receiving because hopefully it will cause a ripple effect in all of society putting forth the idea that we ALL need each other's help. According to the Bible, we are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves. If we care so much about ourselves and our families, then what better way to enact this principle that was meant not only as a reminder of selfless love, but to meet our neighbor's needs. When you give, you are enabling someone to receive the best gift there is and that's love.
Stephanie HartmanDecember 10, 2013
I think giving is better than receiving because you are making someone else happy which in turn makes me happy. I love to see the look on someone's face when they receive a gift that was unexpected.
Katelyn GrayDecember 10, 2013
Giving is better than receiving in many ways. Our society today tends to forget this principle and often greed consumes people. It is much more rewarding to be able to creat another humans happiness. Making someone else happy will lead to your own happiness.
Frieda JeffersDecember 10, 2013
Fortunately, my family and I have sufficient things to not only meet our "needs," but to cover a good number of our "wants." No one really needs one more thing to "dust." What's more important is sharing and giving -- sometimes tangible gifts, sometimes experiences that become memories that last a lifetime. Gifts can be as simple as a smile to a stranger, or volunteering your time to help a neighbor or at a local shelter or food bank, or donating to a charity that exemplifies your values and your hope for a better future for others.
Barb KennedyDecember 10, 2013
When you are in need you don't realize or appreciate what has been made available or on stan by for you. My daughter used the life flight helicopter when she had a horrific car accident. I never took it for granted but always said it would be great to donate to this terrific group.
Joy JoyceDecember 10, 2013
In this world of vast cultures and languages, one common ground we can all share is the act of giving. No matter our differences, it is a communal act that anyone can understand and appreciate and does not require words to express the gratitude felt; the emotions and reactions are simply astounding. This is why they call it the "Joy of Giving"!
Gail MouzoneDecember 10, 2013
YES, to see the joy on someone's face getting something when they thought they were getting nothing is better than any gift I could receive. It is such a warmth from within, love it.
Ruben RabagoDecember 10, 2013
For me giving fuels our soul and makes us grow also helps relationships be stronger with friends and family, the more you give the more you receive in other ways. Keeps me at peace and happy! Merry Christmas & happy holidays, cheers! Ruben Rabago
Ruth WhitlockDecember 10, 2013
The Bible tells us it is better to give than to receive. When you do this you get so much more in return!
Marti ThomasDecember 10, 2013
I always have liked giving.I now make upbags of tolietries for low income or hiomeless and give it to them with a bottle of laundry detergent.It warms my soul.
Maria SmithDecember 10, 2013
giving acknowledges that we all have been helped in life in various ways; we always remember to hold the door open so that no one is forgotten
Stacey KeltsDecember 10, 2013
I like to see the looks on peoples faces when giving the gift and watching them open it😃
Kimberly GuentherDecember 10, 2013
I believe in giving back because I have been as low as the ones who need the charity I would love to give to and I am a big believer in giving back who has helped you thru your dark times.
Jim PDecember 10, 2013
It makes you feel great when you give someone something they have been looking forward to or want.
Lisa HenriottDecember 10, 2013
i love giving my kids what they want i never get anything fo rmy self i put everyone need before mine and always get everything they want i never spend nothing on me so i know what it means to give and not reiceve nothing but not a big deal to me i like makeing people happy expecially round the holidays they meen more to me them getting something just seening there smileing faces on them makes me the happyiest woman ever to see my family and freind smile and enjoy what they got from me meryychristmas
Debbie TerryDecember 10, 2013
To allow yourself the joy that giving brings is a present for yourself.
Kimberly FreseDecember 10, 2013
I believe giving and receiving are equal. When you give a gift to someone, no matter what the gift is or who the person is, their smile is the greatest gift of all. It's the smile of acceptance and their way of saying "Thank you for acknowledging me. You've made my day!" A smile can change anyones bad day into a good day. Knowing you helped changed someones days by giving, is the best gift you can receive!
Amy JacksonDecember 10, 2013
Giving is better than receiving because when you do give to others your heart gets that special gift of joy.
Patricia WoodsonDecember 10, 2013
Makes you feel useful
Julie HoughtalingDecember 10, 2013
We are all here having a unique human experience. This experience leads us all down different life paths. Those of us fortunate enough to have a roof over our head and food to eat, should give our time to those less fortunate to help ease their suffering in any way we can. As a human being and as a society, we need to focus less on getting and more on giving, whether it be giving our love, our time, or our money. If everyone gave just a little, the world would be a much better place for all.
Sarina LeeDecember 10, 2013
I believe that when you give to othwhenever it comes back a hundred fold. You are doing yourself a big favor by helping someone in need. By doing even the smallest acts of generosity, you are inviting good vibrations into your life.
Albert CzelagaDecember 10, 2013
I love seeing the glow in my girlfriends' eyes when I give her even the littlest surprise. It's a nice feeling when you give to someone and the reaction you receive is better than receiving and gift.
Michael PerkinsDecember 10, 2013
Because it makes you feel so good inside
Stefania GuarneriDecember 10, 2013
Giving is better than receiving because nothing is more beautiful than seeing that special someones' eyes light up when they unwrap their gift. Feeling that warmth in your chest because you made someone so happy and the smile they give you is enough of a thank you. There is no better feeling than giving except the love you feel from that person!
Charles CorbettDecember 10, 2013
Being able to bring joy to the lives of others is what makes giving better than receiving. It really is a continuation of the Thanksgiving spirit in being able to share your good fortunes with those you love and as well as showing those less fortunate that the world is still filled with kindness, caring, and hope. Giving is its own reward, the smiles it brings to both parties is the icing on the cake!
Mary BowmanDecember 10, 2013
In a sense, giving is receiving. When you give someone a gift or even just a kind gesture, you receive in return their appreciation; and seeing them happy gives you a feeling that is better than any gift could ever make you feel.
Brenda BurkettDecember 10, 2013
When I give the gift of an experience to my family I get to share in the joy by watching them do something that they will never forget.
Eugene EufemioDecember 10, 2013
Like Karma, what goes around comes around. When you give, it comes back to you a hundred-fold.
Cathi RushingDecember 10, 2013
I love to see others happy, makes me feel good
Christina CollinDecember 10, 2013
Giving is way better than receiving! The feeling I get when I give is what makes this statement true. When we recieve it's nice too know someone thought of us but really it's just another thing to add to our collection of things. When we give and know we made a difference in someone's life it means for than anything we could possibly receive. I sponsor 4 children in various countries around the world through compassion Canada and those pictures of them growing up happy and healthy are the best gifts I've ever received!
Susan LaneDecember 10, 2013
No better feeling than to help someone in need such a rewarding heart to help others
Antonio CortesDecember 10, 2013
Because trying to receive without giving first would be as futile as trying to harvest without sowing..
Alice LunaDecember 10, 2013
Your reward in giving is to just see the joy and pleasure on the face of the child or adult you are giving to. It's not just about giving a gift, but giving someone young or old the opportunity to see or experience something new and seeing that joy on their face is so rewarding in itself. Or giving a coat, or a pair of gloves, or even a cup of coffee and sandwich to a homeless person on the street on a cold day and just seeing the gratituded on their face. That's why it's better.
Beth MooreDecember 10, 2013
I wish I was a millionaire and could be a real life Santa! I love to give gifts and see the happiness it brings to others. It's especially rewarding when it's that perfect gift or it goes to someone that might not otherwise be able to afford something...or anything for that matter! Just the smile or word of thanks is so awesome! (;
Tasha DraevingDecember 10, 2013
Giving really is better than receiving for many reasons. It's a form of humility, and shows true character. Giving is great for your health. It also creates a personal high, known as the Helper's High, and helps people have a sense of self-worth. I also believe that giving is important for the employer I work for to give back whether its to potential clients, clients, and/or community.This is important because it is a reflection of who I am and the type of people I choose to associate with. Ultimately making my life better, my relationships healther, and outlook brighter.
Kathy ConleyDecember 10, 2013
Bringing joy to others and seeing how happy gifts make them returns that joy to me ten fold.
Judith LambDecember 10, 2013
I met steve two and a half years ago. After several years of hardships and raising my children all alone. My son and I spent years in and out of hospi tree als while my daughter learned how to manage without us. Long story short. Years of struggle and pain I finally was able to put myself through school. Tired of poverty living. I wound up meeting the absolute love of my life. My best friend and at the same time I landed a fabulous job. I could afford things and just because too. I love the end result!
Nikki ScottiDecember 10, 2013
When I was a child I was raised by a single mother and 5 siblings(1 disabled). The moments when someone would send a gift or bring food to our home unexpectedly ,I would watch my mother cry. I never understood why since we were all so happy to have RECEIVED the gift. Now, that I am grown and have children of my own, I understand. She was crying because she wasn't able to GIVE us anything. It hurts your heart when you watch struggle and can do nothing about it. That's why giving REALLY is much better than receiving.
Deborah EdraosDecember 10, 2013
My daughter is 5 and I am trying to teach her the value of helping others. We donate her old toys/clothes to other kids, we invite "stragglers" over for holiday dinners, she sees me volunteer in the community... Today I explained the need for blood/platelet donation, and she wants to come with me when I do it. Kids need to learn early how important it is to help others and how good it can make you feel to do something so simple.
Colin MacDiarmidDecember 10, 2013
Giving allows you to comfort people, to stretch their limits or to make them feel loved. Giving is better, because it allows one to be as personal as their imagination allows. And if done well, the recipient should feel as satisfied as the gift giver.
Nana OpokuDecember 10, 2013
Giving a gift is better than receiving because when you give a gift from the heart after putting love, care and thought in that special present, you are in turn blessed because you receive the gift of joy and appreciation right back from the person you gave the gift to and you know that they will cherish it. To sum it up, when you give, it shall be given unto you. More than you can imagine!
John GriffinDecember 10, 2013
Because you always give what you want to give but may not receive what you want.
Dawn BirchenoughDecember 10, 2013
Giving really is better than recurring to me because I feel it's a gift all in itself to see the amazement on a loved one's face when they are so over joyed with the gift they are relieving
Corey WhiteDecember 10, 2013
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
Ron AndersonDecember 10, 2013
the joy of knowing that others have moments of real happiness gives me that same happiness
Jean LorenceDecember 10, 2013
Its the feeling you get inside when giving is so appreciated, it feels so much better than receiving, but its a feeling of receiving the blessing of giving...if i put it into the correct wording....Jean
Donna JonesDecember 10, 2013
Anticipating a gift you crave is exciting, but once you have that thing you thought would make you happy, it soon becomes just one more thing in a life that's just the same as it was before you got that purse/car/diamond on which you future happiness and contentment had been based. But seeing the joy in someone's eyes when they receive what they had wanted but didn't expect, that feeling puts a piece of happiness in your soul that lasts when the wrapping's all thrown away. Giving the is gift you give your soul.

LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - UK housebuilder Crest Nicholson set a price of 220 pence per share for its listing on the London stock market, close to the upper end of the range originally set and valuing the company at 553 million pounds ($866 million).
Crest said on Wednesday it would raise 224.9 million pounds from the offer, comprising of a primary component of 56 million pounds and 168.9 million pounds from the secondary share sales of certain existing shareholders including Varde Investment Partners and Deutsche Bank AG.
Conditional dealings will begin on the London Stock Exchange at 0800 GMT on Wednesday.
The 50-year-old firm said it would return to the stock market on Jan. 21, five years after it was taken over as a result of the market crash.
Crest, which was taken private by Scottish entrepreneur Tom Hunter and mortgage lender HBOS in May 2007, is now majority-owned by U.S. distressed investment fund Varde Partners after a series of deals last year.
The company narrowed its price range to between 210-220 pence per share on Tuesday from an original price range of 195-230 pence per share.
It also said that Barclays Capital Securities, as stabilising manager on behalf of the syndicate, had been granted an over-allotment option of just over 10 million ordinary shares, representing 10 percent of the ordinary shares in the offer.

6 p.m. Mosaic Templars Cultural Center. Free.
The documentary "deepsouth" explores the HIV/AIDS epidemic in — you guessed it — the Deep South, specifically Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The film follows four people, including a 24-year-old, HIV-positive gay black man from Mississippi, two organizers of an HIV support network in Louisiana and an Alabama activist who travels the region advocating for more HIV funding for Southern states.
The film has done well since its debut this summer, earning critical accolades and awards from the Shout! Gay and Lesbian Film Festival of Alabama and Outflix Film Festival.
Director Lisa Biagiotti told the Oxford American that "it's the same virus, but HIV is a different disease in the South, therefore the lessons of the last thirty years and successes in urban areas cannot be replicated in a place where culture and society are so different. It might be better to look at the best practices in the developing world because some of the challenges are the same."
The film is presented by the Arkansas Minority Health Commission in recognition of World AIDS Day and as part of a broader mission to de-stigmatize HIV/AIDS and help end the disease.
Executive Director and the board failed the festival. Period. They blame other festivals, rising costs,…
