The American Jobs Act and Michigan
President Obama has announced a comprehensive plan to create jobs: the American Jobs Act. The purpose of the plan is simple: put more people back to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans. And it would do so without adding a dime to the deficit.
Here are the five main components of the plan, and details on how some of the programs the President has proposed would affect Michigan: (more…)
Town Hall Meeting to Discuss Public Act 4 (Emergency Managers)
The Washtenaw Community Action Team (WCAT) is hosting a Town Hall Meeting at the Ann Arbor Community Center on Saturday June 25th (10:30am-12:30pm) to discuss Public Act 4 and the statewide initiative to repeal the law.
Public Act 4 is a new law that empowers the Governor of the State of Michigan to appoint Emergency Managers (EM) to communities placed in the receivership of the state. The EM has broad, unchecked powers to sell public assets, close schools, shred public contracts and agreements, and dissolve governments and remove elected officials. A $1.7 billion tax cut for businesses has made a number of Washtenaw County municipalities and school districts at risk of receivership. (more…)
Online Petition to Fight Gov. Snyder's Devastating Cuts
We need to stand up and tell Governor Snyder that devastating cuts to public education, eliminating the earned income tax credit (EITC), and sharply raising taxes on our seniors is no way to "re-invent" Michigan. It's not "shared sacrifice" and it's no way to create jobs in Michigan.
Help fight Gov. Snyder's budget proposal. Sign the online petition and tell the Governor that we won't stand for a $2 billion tax cut for special interests while our seniors, children, middle-class families, and low-wage workers suffer. Click here to sign the wiredforchange.com petition.

[Plugin: Shortcodes Pro] "Uncaught SyntaxError" when name begins with number
Hello, this plugin is just awesome, but there are some little bugs :(.
1st bug I found:
There's a minor bug that make the tinyMCE buttons disapear because of the generated javascript located in shortcodes-pro/inc/shortcodespro-edit-js.php
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
when shortcode name is a number or begin with a number:
I made a shortcode named 960gs (guess what I was about to do).
Javascript parser fails at line 153 of the generated javascript (may be different for you as it's generated javascript).
Here is the line that fails:
tinymce.PluginManager.add('960gs', tinymce.plugins.960gs);
With syntax highlight, I can see that the second 960 get another color (seen as a number or I don't know).
You should consider writting it somewhere or just fix it because somme people won't know why it's not working if they try with a shortcode named with a number on the first try and they will delete the plugin!
Second bug:
Ordering buttons is not working properly on 3.4.1 with Chrome Browser (did not test with others, it doesn't save state and I don't really know why. I can reorder using the parameter in the shortcode edit page (setting row manually), but I can't add any separator.
When I move a button to an empty row, it saves the list, but they're not showing in tinyMCE if they're not in the first row (kind of weird).
Edit: Only the items in row 2 doesn't show in tinyMCE 1, 3 and 4 shows fine (but still can't reorder using that nice ui)
I hope you can fix this (but take your time)
This is a badass plugin, seriously, I made some shortcode and the result is the same as those templates that provide some shortcode, it's even better and it's not theme dependant! Wonderfull, saves me so much time.

Winter Salads Preview for #SundaySupper
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
When most of us think about salads, I am sure it is in the height of summer, when gardens and farm markets are awash with the bounty of the season. Who doesn't love the sight of a roadside stand spilling over with fresh vegetables, and stop to browse, daydreaming of how those vegetables can grace the plate at home?
Yet while most of the produce we eat comes during the summer months, there are still many options for making fresh and nutritious salads at home during any season of the year. Be it the year-round availability of a global economy, or clever uses for pantry items such as whole grains and cheeses, ideas abound.

Browse the possibilities below, which will all publish Sunday morning, and be sure to join us Sunday evening in Twitter for a fresh, fun, and lively chat about how we make our winter salads.

by OPOVV, ©2013
(Feb. 11, 2013) — For time immemorial, humans have yearned for freedom from want, hunger and fear. The concept of freedom isn't some ethereal pipe dream; it's a reality that, at some point in time, your ancestors dreamed of for future generations, if only to escape the daily grind of living life as a slave.
Folktales from ages long forgotten talk of "Wicked Masters" and "deliverance," names given to characters who lived thousands of years ago, fables retold by the old to the young, generation following generation, verbal history passed down from parent to child, time after time. Lessons were learned in thrift, saving for a rainy day, and "no rest for the weary." Bravery and self-sacrifice were placed on the "Pedestal of Admiration," irrespective of where or at what time in history the heroic deed was accomplished. Yet for every deed remembered, thousands, millions failed to be remembered, although in the whole scheme of remembrance are just as important a guidepost by which to live one's life.
These intrepid deeds were not carried out to elevate the Ruler, the Despot, or the Dictator. They were for removing the yoke of oppression, cutting the rope of restraint, and tearing down the walls of confinement in order to set people free, from Moses to Spartacus, from Martin Luther to Thomas Jefferson. "Perchance to Dream isn't about subjection, and horizons conquered aren't to be in the ovens of a concentration camp.
People know when they're doing wrong, irrespective if they aren't able to quote chapter and verse. We've seen it many times: illegal immigrants trying to escape capture by our "Men in Blue," the shoplifter running from the store, and the speeder who just ran the red light. We see those who are supposed to uphold the traditions and values of our country in Washington, DC take a cavalier attitude towards their Oath to uphold the Constitution, conveniently forgetting that it is the people who hired them, the people whom they work for, and it is the people who have the Constitutional right to remove them from office, any elected official, in any position, at any time, if they demonstrate their failure to do what they were hired to do: represent the legal citizens of America.
I am more qualified to be the President than Obama, and, as you read these words, ask yourself if it wouldn't be better if I were. To start, I can show my real Birth Certificate, give the Selective Service Administration permission to release my real records, give the Immigration Department permission to release my real passport records, and anything else that needs to be done, I shall gladly and freely acquiesce.
Our country is sliding down into an abyss from which she will never recover. We have people who are supposed to represent us but instead represent some alien form of belief, some strange form of government, people who do not honor those who have died for the Constitution and Old Glory. Washington, DC has become a nest of traitors who deserve whatever wrath can be wrought upon them. I call on all Patriots to heed the banner of Freedom, to listen for the Call to Arms, to shed sunshine on the black corruption that cloaks our "Freedom of Our Tomorrows."

So there's always been some controversy over the portrayal of women in videogames since -- Oh, I don't know -- Pong. Anyway, The Urbz promises to change all that with some more assertive, potentially less supernaturally chest-heavy females. Basically, when the girls of Urbz, Electronic Arts' forthcoming Sims spin, tell you to run their profiles, you'd better unless you're keen on being knifed. So here it goes...
Hey there! My name is Jayde and I'd like to introduce you to a few urban friends of mine -- Lil'Bit, Toots Sweet and Ally Stile. Now, we know you've been ogling well-endowed game ladies since the dawn of an 8-bit time, but we're pretty sure you haven't met honeys like us...until now anyway.
Anyhoo, so just because we keep our clothes on during our game time, doesn't mean we're not all kinds of attractive. I personally think we're still some pretty hot babes. Sure, some of you might like us better naked and perhaps in the kitchen cooking some criss-cross peanut butter cookies, but here's the real question: how do you think girls too busy being scantily clad will do out here in the Urbz? Think they would last with the punks from Central Station? Or how about the gangsters on the rooftops of 125th Street where you have to watch your back if you don't want to get mugged? I invite any game chica from any time to the streets of The Urbz. Let's see how long they last before the main-man Darius kicks them out of the city. We...? We know how to survive. Sound off girls!

Thanks a lot KtKing! I didn't even know pethadine was an option - I'm willing to pay for it if it helps me get through the transfer.
12-04-2013 00:28 #703
I don't think they normally use it but with my crocked cervix they will. I freak out otherwise. The first time they had to straighten it I was in tears during the transfer. I swore I'd never go through that without drugs again. Thank god Wazza let me have drugs.

Hey ladies
Going to ask a tough question here but any input would be greatly appreciated! After so many cycles and trying different protocols the results for me has always been BFN, all my cycles have been short cycles from cd2 - I havent actually done a long cycle - not sure why but maybe I didnt need one, as I have a normal 28 day cycle and all my blood works always good to start on cd2 perhaps? I know I have a low ahm 2.7, etc.
Now this is the dilemma, I am thinking shd I give Wazza a go (I was initially booked to see him but when he did his back I moved on to my current FS - who is quite experienced and really happy with him), but I think what could he possibly do to give me that BFP if my eggs are crap? OR move on to donor cycle (my 23yr niece who is ready whenever Iam ready - its basically just me to say yes - DH, my niece and my sis (her mum) is supportive of this donor cycle.
I want to give Wazza a go but I could just be dragging on the inevitable, a few more cycles....more money...more disappointments...and then perhaps a BFP or BFN in the end.....and I dont really think DH can go through much more, his ready for donor cycle now - he just wants to see my big fat belly (cant wait for the pampering!). My FS has already pulled out the big guns and given me Saizen, even Luveris my Gonal/Menopur is at 600units as it is! Still my response is more or less the same as always.
So sorry for the me post, Laned and KtKing sorry guys but once again your views do help me a lot so feel free to chip in! Thanks!
12-04-2013 14:06 #705
Ann - I understand your dilemma and how you must feel. I too was running out of options and unfotunately Wazza (who is my FS) started talking about donor eggs and perhaps my eggs are crap. It really put me off because deep down I didn't feel that it was my eggs that were the issue. We started IVF because of DH's severe MFI and we got very lucky on our first cycle in 2009 and got our DD. But since then no such luck. I honestly believe it was a numbers game for us and we needed to find a healthy sperm. I know our sitution is very different to yours but just wanted to share my story because you never know what you might pick up.
Here's the thing with Wazza, he is one of few FS's that actually believe in natural supplements making a different. And you know what, every other doctor can say it's a load of sh!t all they want but my DD is proof that these supplements work.
When we were TTC our GP took a sample off DH and sent it to Sullivan Nic's for testing. It came back <0 sperm. WTF I don't know what less than 0 means, isn't that just 0?! We went to Wazza and he also looked at a fresh sample from DH and again he said he couldn't see anything. We took the sample to the scientists and they 'spun it down' and found a few dead ones. That was our best case scenario at that point. If there were SOME sperm that meant he was able to produce it. So we went back to Wazza and he gave us the list of supplements. So much stuff and DH was a trooper and he took it all. We waited 3 months for the supplements to take force because it takes 3 months for sperm and eggs to get mature and for these supplements to make a different.
We didn't do another sample prior to our first cycle and went straight into the EPU not knowing if we would have any sperm or if DH would need a TESA. You wouldn't believe it - he had a few million! Since then his count has increased up to 15 million and 76% motility for this last cycle. I reseached every medical journal I could find online to see if there was something, anything else he could take and you know what I found? Melatonin. I read a Japanese study that suggested if the male has a reasonably high fat and sedetary lifestyle that melatonin could help. I think it has made a huge different because I fell pregnant in October which marked 2 months of DH taking it (went on to miscarry) but BFP again in January which marked about 5 months of him taking it. Previous to that, two BFN IVF cycles. It is also something you can take to improve egg quality. So have a think about it and do your own research. Let me know how you go. As you can see, sometimes, these supplements can do amazing things. You never know. Good luck with your decision. I think Wazza has some good ideas, but depending on your age (not sure how old you are?) you may be ready to move onto donor already.

I carry a vic signature light on keychain, but dont like how it or the manager have no toothpick, I can swap it for a regular classic and try space pen, just wondering if its noticeable/annoying to carry in pocket.specs say 3.8", im guessing thats while its closed? not sure, I think I had one when I was a kid, but that was like 35 years ago, does it fit well in small pocket of jeans?
hmmm, was looking at base model with no clip, had in amazon cart forever, but it went down in price today
I guess I'm old then, although I don't remember the pen offer. Mind you, it's possible it wasn't available in Canada.I love the Fisher Bullet. I have a lot of pens lying around, but that is the one I keep going back to. It was the only pen that really did all I wanted from a pen in my old job, where I was writing notes outside in all manner of weather. And I mean all of it.... rain, snow, sleet etc, and all of it on Rite in the Rain notebooks. I don't think you can get a better pen for fieldwork especially. It might not be the perfect pen to keep at your desk just to sign your name occasionally, or the best for hand writing your manuscript, but when it comes to taking notes in adverse conditions, I have tried them all and none come close.Def
Nice leather work!For years I carried my Bullet open in the pen slot of my work vest. I marked up the vest a lot but it made it a lot easier to pull it out and use for quick notes, especially when wearing gloves. That pen has been through so much weather over the years in the open position that the cap no longer comes off the body to close it!Def
The Fisher telescoping pen (center) rides in my shirt pocket and is used several times each week. I use the 0 Gravity pen at home every day. The raw brass Bullet pen is my backup and has only been used once to test it.(Image removed from quote.)
man, how bored that guy must have been to break open that ink cartridge. looking at this and saying why? ...
Now I want a Fisher Telescoping pen, any reason not to buy it?
Quote from: m47mu74nt on December 11, 2016, 09:08:22 AMNow I want a Fisher Telescoping pen, any reason not to buy it? I have smaller, Zebra brand telescoping pens which work well. But, the Fisher Telescoping Pen is better at writing under more adverse conditions (e.g., cold, wet) and in different positions.
I guess I'm old then, although I don't remember the pen offer. Mind you, it's possible it wasn't available in Canada.Def
The lack of a pocket clip on the Fisher Telescoping Pen may pose a problem for some. It rides horizontally at the bottom of my shirt pocket because it has no clip.

Murder investigation launched after illegal immigrant is found dead in shipping container
A SUSPECTED illegal immigrant has been found dead after a shipping container crammed with 35 people was discovered in Tilbury Docks, Essex.
Staff heard "screaming and banging" coming from inside the container, which had arrived from Zeebrugge, Belgium and was being unloaded around 6.30am this morning.
They opened it up and made the grim discovery and police have now launched a "homicide investigation'.
Speaking during a press conference at Tilbury Docks this afternoon, Essex Chief Superintendent Trevor Roe described those found in the container as "victims" of a "people trafficking" crime.
The other stowaways, children and adults who are thought to be of Indian origin, are said to be recovering "fairly quickly in most cases" after they were treated with severe dehydration and hypothermia in three local hospitals.
He explained they are expected to be released from hospital later today, while a "handful" of people will remain in hospital overnight for further observations.
The illegal immigrations are currently being held under immigration powers and will be taken to an immigration reception centre near Tilbury later today. Superintendent Roe said police searched around 50 other containers of the freighter, called the Nortstream, but no other people were found inside.
It was not yet known who owns the container or where it originated from, but Superintendent Roe said the people will eventually be interviewed by interpreters.
Police will attempt to find out which countries they came through and who facilitated their passage on to the container ship. However the situation is likely to raise concerns about border controls and how illegal immigrants manage to enter the UK by any means possible.
Natalie Hardy, from P&O Ferries, said the immigrants were in a container on board the Norstream, a commercial vessel scheduled to leave Zeebrugge at 10pm last night and arrive at Tilbury at 6am.
It was carrying 64 containers, 72 trailers and five lorries and drivers.
Ms Hardy added: "They found 35 clandestines on a container in the ferry. They had been in there overnight, because the ship was an overnight freight ferry.
"This morning when they went to unload containers there was a noise heard, a banging. One unfortunately was dead and others were taken to hospital.
"UK Border Agency and all emergency services were called and went to the scene and have been handling it since."
One dock worker, who refused to be named, said: "I don't work in that area but have been told they have a quarantine up.
"I've heard the victims are supposed to be a lot of women and children.
"It's an absolute tragedy really - I feel for the guys who discovered it too.
"That's got to be hard to see."

By examination, 80 percent of US families have meat in their week by week shopping list, including more than 1 billion servings of finger licking granted every year. Alongside the prevalence of fat was a misconception – let the record straight on probably the most well known old stories meat.

I'm not going to claim this is the only advice you'll ever need, ever. (We all know we need to wear sunscreen, right?) But these two bits of wisdom have covered most situations for me for the last 20 years or more.
I mean this in both the literal and metaphoric sense. A staple of my childhood was my mother saying to me, "Did you look underneath stuff?" The situation: I'd lost something. The answer: no, I hadn't. Today, I am the person who can find what my husband (really, he has a pathetic short-term memory) has lost. Even if I wasn't around when he lost it. Even if I'm not there at all. Sometimes all it takes is him announcing to me that he can't find something to activate the "finding fairy" that directs him to the object. So I mean this advice literally: pick objects up and look underneath them.
But it's also a good reminder to look deeper than the surface. I have past and present co-workers who are masters of long-term strategy, and I've learned patience by watching them. I'm an impatient type by nature: I'd rather change, confront, or discuss something now than wait. But as I've (dare I say it?) matured, I've come to understand the value of seeing how opinions and approaches evolve in a workplace. I've also learned to be careful about who in an office is connected by carpool or Girl Scouts or neighborhood, and to respect the alliances that form in unlikely places (as well as to not complain about someone to the wrong person).
Lesson learned: look beyond what's on the surface.
2. Break an overwhelming project down into manageable bits.
I discovered this gem in college when I was faced with the dreaded senior thesis (which I had chosen over the even-more dreaded senior comprehensive exams). I freaked out when faced with a semester-long writing project (if I'd only known what my future held!). My Linguistics advisor said, "Just outline. Then outline some more, and more, until the smallest chunks in your outline are a manageable size." What do you know? It worked.
The impact of her words has been much longer-lasting than my undergraduate thesis, and I've heard echoes of them throughout my life. When I was a beginning fiction writer, my writing teacher cautioned us to focus on the bridge we could cross today (writing today) and not be so worried about the crossing eight bridges later (finding an agent, finding a publisher, selling, writing another one, etc.). When faced with a house or an apartment that needed to be completely gutted and remodeled, my husband and I made lists, broke down the tasks, and put them in priority and functional order.
Lesson learned: cut the task down to size and take one bridge at a time.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find my husband's good shoes.
Before trying her hand at fiction, Tammy Kaehler established a career writing marketing materials, feature articles, executive speeches, and technical documentation. A fateful stint in corporate marketing introduced her to the world of automobile racing, which inspired the first Kate Reilly Racing Mystery, Dead Man's Switch, which will be released tomorrow. Tammy works as a technical writer in the Los Angeles area, where she lives with her husband and many cars. Find out more at www.tammykaehler.com.

Word on the street: Show me your friends
Proverbs 18:24 "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother"
The friends you keep play a major role in both the quality and direction of your life. It is important, therefore to deliberately cultivate and nurture only friendships that will steer you in the course of your destiny.
Good friends are positive, supportive and non judgemental. They are not afraid to tell you the truth.
Bad friends on the other hand are manipulative, destructive and negative thinkers.
In as much as we all need companionship; friendships we keep should never be to the detriment of our well-being.
The Bible speaks about a friend who sticks closer than a brother; and I believe that friend is the Son of God Himself.
He will never leave you nor forsake you. He'll never let you down either. 'S'true's God'.
After all, His name is faithful and true. Do consider and everlasting friendship with Him today.
There are people God put here on earth to help you reach your destiny.
Those are the people you must seek out and whose friendship you must cultivate.
Some are older than you, some your age and some younger. There are even who are of the opposite gender or a different race. But they all have this in common: commitment to and concern for your advancement in this life.
The best thing about this kind of people is that they are not looking to be paid back in any way.
You will find them when you decide to look for them. You might even discover that they were in your life all along!
Here's a prayer you might want to repeat:
Jesus, Son of God, I seek your friendship and salvation
I believe that you are truly God's Son
Today I accept you as my best friend and Saviour.
Help find other friends that are committed to my advancement.
Thank you Lord. Amen

Honestly I don't know what to think of Putin.
Is he that big an enemy to us? or just looking out for his country's interests?
Is he the straw man the deep state needs to maintain their gravy train? After all who needs F-35s with no enemies? John McCain for example.
but gotta give the man credit, he can really troll the US:
The rest of the article is interesting as well, here are a few more excerpts:It looks weird when the chief of a security agency records his conversation with the commander-in-chief and then hands it over to media via his friend," Putin was quoted by Russia's Tass. This is strange. What is the difference then between the FBI director and Mr. Snowden? He is not a head of the special services, but a human rights activist.
The trolling concluded when Putin said that "by the way, if he (Comey) is subject to any sort of persecution in connection with this, we will be ready to give him political asylum in Russia. And he should know about this."
Predictably, the Russian president once again reiterrated his denial of meddling in the U.S. election, saying that Russia has openly expressed its views and hasn't engaged in any covert activities.
Continuing the combative mood, Putin then turned the tables on the US, saying it was the US which has sought to influence Russian elections by funding NGOs as part of its aspirations for global domination. "Turn a globe and point your finger anywhere, you will find American interests and interference there."
"And what about constant U.S. propaganda, constant U.S. support of America-oriented non-government organisations by giving them money directly? Isn't it an impact on our minds? Isn't it an attempt to influence how we should behave during election campaigns? This continues year after year," he said.
He added that many heads of state around the world had told him of similar U.S. meddling in their internal affairs. But they would not voice their concerns openly, fearing to "spoil relations" with Washington. As for Russia, "we have an opinion of our own, we express it openly. But this is not any sort of underground subversive activity", Putin said.
Putin said that Russia has climbed out of recession despite continuing Western sanctions, adding that the restrictions have forced the country to "switch on our brains" to reduce dependence on energy exports. He lamented yesterday's Senate decision Wednesday to impose new sanctions on Russia as a reflection of Western efforts to "contain" Russia, but insisted that the measures have only made the country stronger.
Putin said that a slump in oil prices had been a more important factor in Russia's economic slowdown than the sanctions. Importantly, Putin acknowledged that the Russian economy hasn't yet shed its dependence on exports of raw materials, but noted that non-energy exports have been growing. Russia has responded to the U.S. and EU sanctions by halting most Western food imports, a move that has helped increase Russian agricultural output.
Russian farmers have pleaded with the Kremlin to keep the import ban even if the West lifts its sanctions

The Shins
The Rapids Theatre
1711 Main Street
Niagara Falls, NY, 14305
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
The Shins are a multiple GRAMMY nominated American band formed by James Mercer in Albuquerque, NM in 1996. After a few years of self-financed singles, demos and van tours, the band was signed by Sub Pop Records who subsequently released its first three full length records.
Their debut full length, Oh, Inverted World caused a seismic shift in the indie rock world upon its release in 2001, singlehandedly ushering in the modern era of the genre. Moved by the strength of verifiably life changing songs like "New Slang", "Know Your Onion" and "Caring is Creepy," a generation of artists ditched the previous decade's lo-fi aesthetic in favor of Oh, Inverted World's emphasis on melody. Selling nearly a million copies and featuring heavily in the cult classic Garden State, the influence of Oh, Inverted World continues to be as profound as it is wide-reaching.
The Shins released their sophomore record, Chutes Too Narrow in 2003. The album garnered near-perfect reviews from The New York Times, MOJO, Rolling Stone, and Q, among numerous others solidifying The Shins' iconic standing.
The band's third LP 2007, the epic Wincing The Night Away, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 moving more than 100,000 copies in its first week of release, and saw their Saturday Night Live debut and a second GRAMMY nomination, once again reaffirming The Shins' stature as one of the most significant acts of the new millennium.
The fourth, and most recent Shins album, Port of Morrow, was released in 2012 on James Mercer's own Aural Apothecary label in partnership with Columbia Records. Preceded by "Simple Song," the highest charting Shins single to date, Port of Morrow debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and was met with rave reviews: Entertainment Weekly declared it "the band's best album in almost a decade" and Pitchfork described it as a "triumphant return."
James Mercer currently resides in Portland, OR and is busy working on the band's fifth album to be released via Aural Apothecary/Columbia Records. The record will be supported by a world tour on which Mercer will be joined by Yuuki Matthews (bass), Jon Sortland (drums), Mark Watrous (guitar, keys, vocals), Casey Foubert (guitar) and Patti King (keys).
The Shins recently announced the winner of a contest to win their first-ever van. After weeks of fierce competition, Michigan-based trio Mertle's cover of "Painting A Hole" beat out hundreds of submissions to win the grand prize. The Shins have invited Mertle to open for them tomorrow, July 11 in Niagara Falls as well as July 27 in Grand Rapids. Watch Mertle's excitement as James Mercer pays them a surprise visit at their home in Eaton Rapids, Michigan to personally deliver the newly refurbished 1990 Ford 350 Clubwagon HERE!

Christmas is the one time of the year when a lot of families tend to spend the most money. From gifts, to wrapping paper, parties, and more, all the money we spend really adds up! There's no reason any of us should be going into debt this Holiday season! What can you do to save money this Christmas?
1) Start Shopping Now! Yes, you heard me right. Shop now. If you see something on clearance that would make a great gift for someone you know, buy it. Put it away and save it for Christmas. Next year, shop all year round. After Christmas Sales are great for getting good deals on Christmas wrap and ribbon. By shopping year round you'll get the best deals on the items and you don't have to come up with the money all at once.
- I know a few people have "Gift Closets". A Gift Closet doesn't necessarily have to be a whole closet just for gifts. You can store these things in bins or in a small section of your closet. Shop clearance and sales throughout the year and put the items you purchase in your gift closet. Target has great deals on toys a couple times a year when toys get marked down to 70% off! I believe those sales are in January and July each year. I also like shopping clearance racks for clothes and other items that make great gifts. Target, Kmart and Macy's are my favorite stores for clearance shopping!
2) Save a set amount each week. As of right now, we only have 13 weeks left till Christmas. If you start putting some money aside right now, you'll still be able to have a good amount in your holiday fund. If you save just $10 a week starting now, you'll have $130 by the time Christmas comes along which should be enough for a nice Christmas meal, last minute stocking stuffers, or other holiday expenses. Next year start saving in January. If you save just $10 a week until the end of November, you'll have $440! That's enough to have a really nice Christmas, and you may even have some left over.
3) Remember, Christmas is NOT all about Gifts. Yes, gifts are nice, and we like to spoil our kids and get them all that they ask for, but really, gifts should not be a priority. I do believe every child does deserve a gift, but they don't need an overwhelming amount. I must admit, I am guilty of over doing it for Christmas! Especially when my oldest, who's now 6 was younger and the only child. Between my husband and I and family and friends, she'd end up with a ridiculous amount of gifts, so much that she could barely finish opening them all. I look back at that, and now I realize, it was just too much!
- I recently came across a post through Pinterest with the following gift giving philosophy: Something You Want, Something you Need, Something to Wear, Something to Read. Each child gets four gifts, one from each category. I think it's a great idea, and have been debating whether or not I should try it this year.
- Another great idea is to buy a joint gift for all the kids. Buy something they all can enjoy together like a Board game, Video Game Console, Trampoline, Easel, or Doll House. Yes, some of these things might be expensive, but if you wait for good sales, use gift cards you've earned or buy them on clearance, you might not need to spend so much after all. You can also find great deals on Craigslist for items that are still in excellent condition, and I'm sure the kids won't even know the difference. If you have a big family a joint gift will probably save you money. Buy one big gift for all the kids to share, and look for free DIY ideas for the rest.
4) Secret Santa – If you have a big family, doing a Secret Santa Swap might be a good idea. Put everyones names into a basket and each person chooses one name. Buy a gift for the person who's name you pull. You can have a set minimum amount that everyone must spend towards the gift. My cousins, sisters, and I used to do a Secret Santa Swap with each other back before we had kids of our own. It was always lot of fun and turned out to be one of the most exciting gifts to open. You can do separate Secret Santas for adults and children.
5) DIY Gifts – There are so many great DIY projects out there that are cheap or even free if you have the items laying around your house. Many of these things would make great gift ideas. My favorite site for finding DIY gift ideas is Pinterest, check it out!
- Picture Frame – decorate a frame with shells, beads, or decoupage. Add a family photo or photo of the kids and it would make the perfect gift for Grandparents!
- Footprints and Poem Framed Keepsake for Daddy
- Homemade Bath Salts or Body Scrubs
6) BAKE! I don't know about you, but I love baked goods and I love getting them as gifts. Bake a big batch of cookies and give them away as gifts. You'll save a little money, and everyone will get to enjoy some homemade baking. You can find one of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe's Here.
7) Cut out Unnecessary Expenses – There's probably something you pay for, that you don't really use or need. Whether it's your daily Starbucks fix or a monthly subscription. These are things we want, but don't really need, and we can live without these things. Ok, I know some of you need your daily caffeine fix, but does it have to be from Starbucks? Make your own at home! For me, my extra expense was my monthly Shakeology order. It was costing me almost $100 a month, and although it's a good product and I do drink it, I don't drink it every day. I had a stockpile of 3 unopened bags! I decided to stop my monthly order, and that's a big savings for me.
8) Write a list and stick to it! Writing a list is a great way to keep on track. This way you won't end up buying extras that really aren't necessary.
9) Shop Online for the best deals, and when you do, be sure to use Sites Like Ebates and Top Cash Back to get CASH BACK on all your purchases! Ebates is my favorite site to use when doing my online shopping. I have earned hundreds of dollars in cash back with Ebates! I'm new to Top Cash Back, but I've seen some great deals with them too. Sign up for both, and before making a purchase check both sites for the best deals. Also, be sure to do a google search for COUPON CODES for the store you're shopping at before making any online purchase.
10) Earn Gift Cards and Cash Online throughout the year with sites such as Swagbucks & MyPoints. With Swagbucks, you earn points just by searching online! I have earned a lot of $5 Amazon gift Codes with Swagbucks. I usually get at least $5 worth, sometimes more, a month and I save these up for Christmas. With MyPoints, you get points for reading e-mails, the points add up and you can redeem them for gift cards. I save up all my points throughout the year and redeem them for a gift card in September or the beginning of October as it does take some time to process and receive your gift card. You can also earn points when you shop online through them.
What do you think of these Money Saving ideas? Is there anything you'd add to my list? If you have more tips, please share them in the comments!

Understanding the reason we need a Savior.
Many people are taught that there are many paths to God. However, the Bible claims there is only one way to God and that way is through His son, the Lord Jesus Christ. 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. (John 14:6)
It is important to recognize the God of the Bible created all life. As, the Creator, He knows what is best for the human race. When something is created for a specific purpose, it functions best according to the way it was created. So it is with humans, we were created by God and for God. 6 which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth; (Colossians 1:6)
Why did God create humans in the first place?
God desired reciprocal love, so He created man in His own image. Since we are created in His image we also have a desire for reciprocal love. In the beginning man enjoyed full fellowship with God, but succumbed to sin (rebellion & rejection toward God). Sin separates us from God. This act of rebellion brought sin into all creation. Humans have been under this curse since the fall in the Garden of Eden. The full story of this fall can be found in the Bible in the book of Genesis 2:4-3:24. With sin, death was brought into the world. We were created to live forever in full fellowship with God. God, in His love and mercy created a way to restore fellowship and eternal life with Him.
The Bible
The Bible is divided into two sections, The Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT). In the OT we find the account of God's creation. We also find the story of Adam and Eve, the first humans, and how they populated the earth. Since the fall of man, humans were left with a void in their lives that can only be filled with God Himself. Although, they didn't realize, it was God they needed, so they tried to fill their void with other things to bring them hope and joy but these things couldn't fill the void. Over time, God provided His law, to His chosen children, by speaking to Moses and other prophets found in the OT. His laws were instructions on how to be holy. The problem was, they couldn't keep to all of these instructions and constantly had to atone for their sins through animal sacrifice. This was to show God's people their desperate need for God and to make them aware that sin separates them from Him. God told His people that He would provide the ultimate sacrifice for their sin through the Messiah. This was fulfilled by the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God's one and only son. This brings us to the New Testament. The Old Testament is the account before Christ came to the earth and the New Testament tells of during and after the coming of Christ. The story of Christ's, birth, death and resurrection can be found in the 4 Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The Way to eternal Life in Heaven
Finally there is a way to restore the relationship God intended to have with the human race. God implanted Jesus into His mother Mary's womb by His power, The Holy Spirit. Jesus (God Himself) became flesh and lived among us being tried and tempted just as we are, yet without sin. While Jesus was on the earth, He taught the Truth and preformed many signs and miracles proving that He was the One foretold about in the OT, the One to save the world from sin. Jesus fulfilled numerous prophesies yet many refused to believe that He was the Messiah. Those that refused to believe this accused Him of blasphemy and plotted to kill Jesus. Jesus had a small following called disciples. He taught them the Truth and told them that He was the Messiah and that He would die but be raised on the Third Day. He allowed them to know that He was going to become the sacrifice for all sin and take sin upon Himself to restore the relationship that separates us from God. From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. (Matthew 16:21) He taught many Truths. He said "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16) He was letting them know those that believe in Him will be with Him in heaven. He spoke some harsh things as well that lead us to believe He requires us to put our full trust in His power and walk with Him in obedience. "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. 9 Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. (John 15:1-11) He also said 13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. 15 "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits. 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.22 Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. 24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall." 28 When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes. (Matthew 7:13-21)
In the OT this was foretold of the type of death Jesus would die.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth. (Isaiah 53:5-7) Jesus was led to the cross and beat for our sins. A crown of thorns was places on His head to mock the fact that He called Himself a King. Next He was nailed to the cross and died an awful death. After Jesus went to the cross and paid the penalty for sin He appeared to His disciples and commissioned them go and tell the gospel to others and make disciples. 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20)
We can be His disciples and secure eternal life by believing that He is the son of God that came to take away the sin of the world. When we pass from this world we can be in heaven with Him for all eternity.
Lost in Darkness
If we do not make this decision, God is a Just God and can't allow us in His Holy presence. Therefore, there is a place assigned for those that do surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. This place is described as separation from God, a place of darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. When we do not choose Jesus we choose to remain in our sin and have no hope without Christ. The Bible teaches us that Jesus will come back again to take those that are His. He calls us to be prepared for that day. We are told to be ready for His coming since we do not know the day or the hour in which He will come. 42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43 But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44 For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.45 "Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. 47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But if that evil slave says in his heart, 'My master is not coming for a long time,' 49 and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards; 50 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know, 51 and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 24:42-51).
Are you saved?
If you sense a calling in your heart to surrender your life to Jesus you can do this by praying. Simply get before Jesus can confess to Him you know that you are a sinner and that you understand sin separates you from God. Confess sins you know of to Him and repent of them. Repenting is choosing to turn away from your sinful life style. Tell Him you are ready to give your whole life to Him and gratefully accept your free gift of salvation. Tell Him you believe that He is the only son of God who came to the earth to die for your sins so you can have life. Ask Him to help you through the process of turning from your old way of life to the new way of life. Ask Him to provide someone to help disciple you and teach you the ways of the Lord. After you have done this it would be good to get involved in a Bible believing church body and tell them of your decision to follow Christ.
Here are some helpful Bible verses describing our need for salvation.
Romans 1:20-21
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 3:23
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 5:8
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 10:9-10
9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Romans 10:13
13 for "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 11:36
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
