This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.
By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.
With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.
Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

A vanishing speck in those inane dominions,
Single and frail, uncertain of her place.
Alone in the bright host of her companions,
Lost in the blue unfriendliness of space.

But the sress balls... I'm not going to say they aren't cute, but it's just merchantdising (or however it spells). That I would call SPAM. It's not something useful that many artist could ever wanted to have... it's just sellable.
But there's something that's true: if you paid for not have ads, and you're still having part of'em, well: SPAM is undesireded ads you can't stop having no matter your will. And you paid for it. So for you and many other that payed for not having more ads, it is SPAM, so I support you.
Have a very nice day.

and as for the ads I am with you there too, I heard about the corel thing from like 5 different peoples journals and was annoyed to find it as an ad in my inbox the next day. I mean unless you live under a rock and don't watch anyone you can't help but hearing about that stuff, why must we deal with advertisements of a place we already subscribe to.

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
As for all the 'news' - have to say, the merchandise I've seen is just so expensive, maybe dA should put some more features into a subscription and market that a little better?

find me a storm where the wild winds blow.

Don't try to engage my enthusiasm because I haven't got one.
I'm also wishing that there would be more subscription features in the near future.
I personally don't think that dA is harassing anyone as they may claim to do so. I do love this site very much, but I do understand the frustration that you're going through.
