We just caught word that, as part of their overall corporate restructuring for 2010, Sozo Firm is launching a photography division called Sozo Photo Studio with a website at SozoPhotoStudio.com. We’ll try to keep tabs on what all the Studio will provide and what kinds of clients they’ll cater to. Pretty exciting news as Sozo Firm, based out of southern York county in Pennsylvania braces for some major growth in 2010 as the economy begins to turn around.

We’ve also heard rumors about some other divisions which will go public once the corporate restructuring is completed, but we haven’t been able to verify that yet.

We’ll keep our ears and eyes open

Well, here it is folks, the gift for any cubicle dweller that’s sure to leave a smile where their once was painful boredom. Slap these Cubicons™ on and discover a whole new world of cubicle safety, cubicle coolness and just plain cubicle badness.

So does one really need safety glasses for cubicle-based work? Chuuaaayaaahh! Who is to say when a stray staple won’t be burning through floor 8 on a sluggish Tuesday afternoon, gearing up to penetrate the most outer eyelash and possibly forever jeopardize your ability to swiftly check your Inbox, Purge your Trash Folder, or update your voice mail greeting with a fashionable wink as you say “Sorry I missed you”? Who? Who?? “We who”, that’s who. We say it’s time for every man, woman, and manboss and womanboss to get dem Cubicons on and get down to business with style…and comfort (from knowing you’re super duper protected!).

Cubicons are one size fits all which makes them such a fantastically great. Yes. We just said “fantastically great”! That’s because we’re wearing these things as we write. And boy howdy (yes that was a cheesy 1950’s reference!) do these things really help us crank out the copywriting. Someone told us each pair of Cubicons has been blessed by a donkey named Sven somewhere over in Austria or something. But we are pretty sure that’s a downright lie. We know of no donkey named Sven. Nor do we subscribe to any blessing performed by donkeys in general.

We do, however, make it a point to double-triple scare test every other other and then every now and again Cubicon that comes off the production floor. We unexpectedly shout at each one in a boss-like manner to see if the lenses and frames can withstand the blindside-like verbal abuse. If it behaves in any manner other than just going about its business on the production floor’s conveyor belt, we immediately ship it off to be used in less harmful environments like factories where they hurl hotter-than-hot-magma metal shavings about as if it was festive rice. We do this for the betterment of mankind. For the betterment of the world. For the betterment of the word betterment because we really like that word and wish more people would use it in at least one sentence per day.

So get your Cubicons on. Get yo cubicons on. Get ya cubicons on!

I visited New Creations of Richmond, Indiana way back in mid winter of 2007 and I was impressed with the people I met, the facilities New Creations offered, the students and the school’s programs. New Creations Chapel is a church based ministry that reaches back to the late 60s when Tim and Bonnie Cummings were led by the Lord to work with young people. They initially began with a traveling youth choir (which exists through today). As the church matured, it branched out into specific ministries including a boarding school, camp facilities, a local day Christian school, a Bible college, and a basketball academy. In recent years, when New Creations asked us at Sozo Creative to improve their web presence with new websites and to assist with their online marketing, it was a privilege we didn’t look upon lightly.

New Creations Boarding School offers personalized help to teens who might be struggling academically or socially in their current school setting. The program is fairly strict and has been likened to a Christian version of military school, but it has offered hundreds of teens the boost they need – both spiritually and personally – to help them get back onto the right track. The boarding school is also a great option for foreign students looking at a couple years of Christian high school education (in English) in preparation for applying to a U.S. college or university. The school is also perfect for overseas missionaries who may be struggling to give their children a proper English education. The boarding school is quite affordable, comparatively speaking, at $2500 per month for room, board & tuition (2009-2010 school year).

Located on 450 acres straddling the Ohio and Indiana border with acres of trees and water, it made perfect sense for New Creations to develop camp & conference facilities. Presently, the ministry doesn’t offer a full fledged children’s camping program but offers the facilities (cabins, recreation hall, lake, sport fields, cafeteria, gym) for rent to Christian ministries and other groups which then operate their camping programs on the site. God has truly blessed New Creations with beautiful facilities. Each year they undertake additional building programs to further develop their facilities.

Along with their boarding school, New Creations also offers a standard Christian school to day students located in the Richmond, Indiana region as well as for faculty/staff children. The curriculum is based on Alpha Omega’s LifePac and Switched on Schoolhouse programs, which permits them to flexibly cater to each child’s learning level.

For those interested in furthering their Christian education, perhaps for preparation for pastoral ministry or for the mission field, New Creations offers a Bible college with two and four year degree options including intercultural studies, Christian education, residential counseling and pastoral theology. Bible college students are then able to apply their learning in a practical environment at the boarding school and other ministries at New Creations.

In recent years, New Creations began a Christian basketball academy called New Creations Basketball Academy. NCBA has already achieved four national championships and is rapidly progressing forward as it equips young men with competitive basketball skills and a sure foundation in the Bible. Anthony (Tony) Cole is the head coach and is eager to see success personally, professionally and spiritually in the lives of the young men he serves.

New Creations is definitely a ministry to check out, especially if you’re looking for a Bible based boarding school to send your daughter or son to. I highly recommend it.
