50 Lock-On NORMAL 50 Zap Cannon ELECTRIC
How can Probopass learn 2 moves at the same time?
No, it's not a typo or anything. Plenty of Pokemon learn moves at the same level (just can't think of them at the top of my head but I'm pretty sure there are a few who learn the Powder moves the same level).
What happens is the game asks you if you want to teach your Pokemon the first move (Lock On in this case). Once you decide whether or not to teach your Pokemon that move it goes on and asks you if you want to learn the next move, Zap Cannon.
Edit: Yep, I was right on the mark with that Powder thing. Butterfree level 12: Poisonpowder, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder.
Well, in B2/W2 Probopass learns Zap Cannon and LOck-on at Level 50.
So it'll ask you Does Probopass want to learn Zap Cannon? once you answer that, it'll ask you for Lock On. I hope this answers your question:
In B/W Probopass learns Zap Cannon at 67 and Lock-On at 73.
Source: Serebii, this site, Psypoke
Why should it be impossible for a Pokemon? Lot of Pokemons can learn more moves at the same time. And these moves fits well together, soo... It's is just how Game Freak wanted it, and that's the right answer. Hope this Helped!

After a cold and dismal winter, the blooms and vibrant colors of spring have finally arrived. While we can shed the many protective layers of clothing donned in the past few months, we must prepare to shield ourselves and our pets from warm weather parasites such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. All of these pests pose dangerous risks to dogs and cats.
Lyme disease is the most common illness transmitted by ticks. Although it has not been proven to be a primary concern of cats, Lyme disease can cause severe illness in dogs and humans. Dogs are also at risk for other tick borne diseases such as Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. These tick related illnesses present with signs such as lethargy, decreased appetite, fever and swollen joints. Some dogs with Lyme disease can develop life- threatening damage to the kidneys.
Fleas suck blood from pets and can cause anemia, a decrease in the body's red blood cell count. When a flea takes a blood meal, flea saliva is transferred into the host's body. It is the flea's saliva which causes an allergic response and the severe itchiness experienced by dogs and cats. Fleas can also transmit tapeworms to dogs and cats and cause feline infectious anemia.
Mosquitoes carry heartworm disease and can infect dogs and cats. If not detected and treated early, infected dogs can die. While cats are not as susceptible as dogs, there is no available safe treatment for cats with heartworm disease. It is much easier and safer to prevent heartworm infection rather than to deal with the consequences of the disease.
It is best to prevent these pests with the use of veterinary approved products. Always consult your veterinarian before administering any product to your pet. Never use a product labeled for dogs on a cat! Year round prevention is recommended.

Sharks show Bulls the way
29 May 2012
RYAN VREDE writes the Sharks laid down the blueprint on how to beat the Stormers last week.
The 25-20 scoreline flattered the Stormers. The try that got them back into the contest was birthed from a pass that was clearly forward and the Sharks reverted to a holding pattern after establishing a comfortable lead which made them more vulnerable than they had previously been. But overall the Durban franchise comprehensively outplayed their visitors, building their victory on unfailingly accurate defence amplified by brutal physicality at the gainline, and, more importantly, an excellent tactical kicking game.
The Stormers' attacking challenges have been well documented, but they don't stem from a lack of momentum at the gainline. Indeed their primary ball-carriers have been efficient and mostly dominant. However, their backline play has been sterile and unimaginative. On Saturday, however, those Stormers strike runners in the heavies were rendered futile for the bulk of the contest, as they were regularly made to launch from deep in their territory as a result of the Sharks' impressive kicking game.
From there the Sharks' defence line held firm, forcing the Stormers to kick or run from positions they didn't favour. Their attacks became increasingly desperate and disjointed as the contest wore on, easing the Sharks' defensive task. The pressure the Sharks were able to exert on defence accounted for many of their scoring opportunities and they showed a clinical edge in finishing that the Stormers have yet to exhibit.
Furthermore, the Stormers' lineout was under immense pressure. With the opposition having been astute in their analysis and the heat turned up, yet again Andries Bekker failed to command the lineout with any authority. It is a worrying trend and underlines the reason Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has reservations about Bekker as a Test player, specifically since statistics reveal that the highest percentage of tries in Test rugby in recent seasons have been birthed from attacking lineouts in or just outside the opposition's 22m. He will start with Bekker in the England series but will have to panel beat his mind for him to realise his full potential.
The strategy employed by the Sharks is not uncommon for the elite sides that have faced the Stormers. The key to its success was of course its accurate execution. Certainly the Bulls attempted to stifle the Stormers in this manner when they met at Newlands in March. A weak first half effort, where they failed to repel the Stormers from their 22m – undermined their cause, Joe Pietersen capitalising on the pressure they created by kicking three penalties and converting Tiaan Liebenberg's try for a 14-0 half-time lead. The Bulls rebounded well, drawing level before Peter Grant stole the win with a 77th minute penalty.
The Bulls had managed to enforce their will on the Stormers in the second 40, the difference in the result on that evening and the one at Kings Park being the Sharks' ability to sustain their effort through 80 minutes. This has been the Bulls' Achilles heel to date, with many of their performances marked by extended periods where they appear to lose concentration. It has been terminal in some cases and in others not so, but one can safely bet the Stormers have the capacity to punish them if this trend continues.
The Bulls have the personnel to replicate the Sharks' approach, although they will lament the absence of the abrasive Jacques Potgieter. But whether they are accurate in their execution will be critical to their fortunes.

29 May 2012, 22:08 pm@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-248: Well you can't expect anything really. The top three SA teams can beat each other on any day home and away, all things being equal. Having said that, I'll qualify that by saying; I don't think I'll be taking out my wallet for this weeks battle of Loftus. I never bet against my team. Odds are stacked heavily against this bout.
29 May 2012, 22:10 pm@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-243:
You can bet your house that Skoppy will be back with all guns blazing before too long.
To be fair to him he did say at some time last week that it will be a miracle if the Stormers win the match.
Well, the miracle did not happen and we got stuffed indeed- and I am worried that it might happen again this weekend- the 3 weeks break in the tourny might be 2 weeks too late for us i am afraid.
After the break it might be a new ball game though, so lets see.
29 May 2012, 22:14 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-251: the game against the bulls will be a tighter affair imo.
the stormers are looking down the barrel of a gun in terms of having all their hard work and fantastic wins derailed at the business end.
i just hopoe there are no injuries though i fear bekker is playing when he shouldnt be.
is etzebeth going to be fit to play?
29 May 2012, 22:15 pmSharks actually think they fck'd Stormers up into a pulp.. Stormers handed that game to them on a gilt edged plate.. missing kick offs, letting high bombs bounce, and missing line outs..
Sharks got three pisseasy tries against the run of play.. now they think they the glory singing bees f'ng knees.
One little showdown that was bound to go their way with all the cards stacked in their favor and they think they've arrived all of a sardine as the glory hallelujahs chorus of choruses..
wait till they get fck'd out the comp again..
See how glory f'ng hallelujah they be singing then.
29 May 2012, 22:15 pm@Robzim(Robzim)-252: i thought this louis schropenol chap was snoeky?
29 May 2012, 22:17 pmSnoeky, lol– you mean the one with the skop.
29 May 2012, 22:17 pm@Robzim(Robzim)-252: @louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-254: bwaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa see, i smoked him out like a skunk
fckn bounce fkn canuck cant catch coulda woulda fkn shoulda brudda mudda pisswilly fkn fokfuckface fkn hell!
29 May 2012, 22:18 pmSo many names these days its hard to keep up with who is who in this place.
29 May 2012, 22:18 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-249: Skoppie I'm calling in my retainer as our district PR. You're attracting a power of unwanted flack from the enemy.
29 May 2012, 22:19 pmI see someone let Joel out of the loony asylum…
He's still smarting from the moerse snotklap issued to his team.
29 May 2012, 22:19 pm@Robzim(Robzim)-256: ja, snoeky.
because you can smell when he joins a thread and he is pap this week after the sharks win
29 May 2012, 22:22 pmalso, i call him snoeky because i metaphorically shove my speargun somewhere he dont like every time i see his thirtieth identical post.
this week he has been repeating things at least 90 times so he has unknowingly been metaphorically culled three times
wait for it……..waaaait……wait til you can see the pink in his gills……………haha
29 May 2012, 22:23 pm@rangerman(rangerman)-253: apparently yes. But word on the ground is; the guys are buggared. Been over-played and the focus on defense has left some riding on reserve. We'll see soon enough.
29 May 2012, 22:26 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-263: its a really tough gameplan tassies, really tough.
the defensive system is undoubtedy world class but it sure takes a toll.
29 May 2012, 22:26 pm@rangerman(rangerman)-262: evening Ranger. I sometimes think you come on here specifically to go fishing. Correction. Most times.
29 May 2012, 22:27 pmthese little sharkifarki rent a queens actually still believe they fck'd Stormers up on Saturday.. the other little bambi banana face was so embittered not too long ago that they hadn't sacked Plumtree and Daniel yet .. now he wanna sing their hallucinatory hallelujahs to the heavens how they fck'd the Stormers up into a pulp..
meanwhile if you check that game out properly Stormers had the better possession and territory well into first half and most of second half and Sharks got 3 lucky breaks and scored from them
Stormers got two lucky breaks of their own.. but the 3 that Sharks got were early enough for them to actually think they walk on water all of a sardine.. and now their sharkshit smells like fanny apple strudel in downtown marine parade.
29 May 2012, 22:27 pmIt is getting dangerous here with all the speargun pointing and so on
let me rather go and repair a ding in my surfboard, tjorts. -
29 May 2012, 22:28 pmRobzim @100
AS i said on p previous post supporters see what they want to see
to re-inforce their.prejudices
1.you implied he got up from a ferocious tackle and ran in Mvovo.
I saw that the period between the tackle made on him and his tackle on Mvovo
some time span apart.
I saw Mvovo conscious of touch line so not running flat out.
I saw a despairing ankle tap from Vermeulen.If we take power x speed(velocity.) then how many tries has Vermeulen
scored from short distances in big games)?.How many Alberts?
Regards -
29 May 2012, 22:29 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-265: its true tassies, there is certain fish species round here that i enjoy catching.
but i do also try to intersperse it with a bit of rugby chat with the bloggers who are worth chatting with.
for instance i will chat with you, Rob, Dawn, WPTID, ufo and a host of other stormers fans any time, any place.
but for woof, peewee, skyewalker and their ilk, i have no mercy
29 May 2012, 22:29 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-266:
Do you even watch the games you comment on? Have you ever played rugby?
29 May 2012, 22:31 pm@Robzim(Robzim)-267: all metaphorical Robbo cheers mate.
man sometime i will tell you about the natal snoek i missed on sunday, the biggest i have ever seen.
29 May 2012, 22:33 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-266: ag and it was all going so well?
you grew up in springs right?
so when did you stop supporting the lions or bulls and become a rent a fan for the stormers
me? born sharks, will die a shark.
29 May 2012, 22:38 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-266: I watched the game twice Skop. Certainly we dominated possession/territory. Its in the stats. But on the field we never looked like winning this one. We were comprehensively outplayed and the scoreline flattered us. Take another look at the game if you get the opportunity. We were nailed in the scrums. Turned over line-outs. Lost the battle on the ground and relied on opportunist tries for our points. Contrast that with the Sharks' performance. Sorry, we'll have to agree to disagree.
29 May 2012, 22:40 pm@lightie(lightie)-270: you just a pissarse little lightie that dunno your pathetic little lightie arse from your little lightie elbow.. like these other little sharkifarki queens that think Sharks obliterated Stormers out their sharkshit tank on Saturday…
Stormers were pretty much on top of those queenies till Michalak started bombarding the skies with high bombs.. and putting deep kicks into Stormers territory and that's where Sharkifarkies got their tails up and got 3 pisseasy tries against the run of play…
up until first runaway try against run of play.. and after half time.. Sharks were in the game once when Van den Heever gifted the ball to a turnover for Coetsee to put Mvovo away.. First 15 minutes of second half was all Stormers who crossed Sharks try line twice but didn't dot ball down..
and then Stormers scored 2 tries late in the game..
Firsat 20 minutes was Stormers till the first miss field that went to Lambie which resulted in Michalaks try..
2nd Sharks try came from miss line outs gifted by Stormers and more territorial gains by Sharks against run of play.. and 3rd Sharks try came from a gimme turnover in Stormers territory..
Bulk of possession and territory was with Stormers through first quarter and definitely second half.
Sharks hit a purple patch 2nd quarter and a 3rd runaway try.. from a gimme turnover.
Stormers were poor.. Sharks capitalized on the gifts handed them
and 25-20 was the final result. 3 gimme tries to 2.
29 May 2012, 22:41 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-273: see, thats why i dont go on the whole "all stormers fans are a s s es trip".
your team are deservedly on top of the conference for now but i fear the injuries may undo them sadly.
sharks and stormers will hopefully have epic encounters for years to come.
29 May 2012, 22:43 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-274: sing snoekybudgie sing
29 May 2012, 22:49 pmwe were well and truly soundly beaten.. I actually didn't expect much better from our boys they went into that game fired up psychologically but physically drained..
We lost the game in the tight phases and in the aerial assault which worked against our guys who let easy kicks bounce into sharks hands.. and Michalak and Mcleod played the high bomb percentage game which turned us around and put pressure on us.
They hurt us badly in the scrums and Bekker and Liebenberg couldn't put 2 line outs together in a row.. we lost about 4 on our own throw.
But we were on top first quarter and entire 2nd half but for ONE lapse when Van den Heever gave them their third try against run of play..
Their first try was also completely counter to run of pay till that point it was a ding dong affair with Stormers occupying Sharks territory by at least a 60/40 margin maybe more.
Once we let them capitalize on that first bomb that went straight to Lambie and then to Alberts thta was where the kick came in and Stormers didn't get out of shock mode till second half.. When we put up quite a fight and Fourie almost scored on their line twice after consistent pressure in their red zone for at least 10 minutes solid.
Our tight five were out played and we lacked the grunt at the collisions due to only one enforcer on the park against 4 or 5 of theirs.
In spite of this we came within 1 try of a win.. we gave them 3 they gave us 2.. and Fourie's near misses almost made it evens.
29 May 2012, 22:49 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-274:
Why are you such a keyboard gangster? And unlettered to boot. They got smacked in the collisions and weren't consistent. Apart from Fourie's knock-on and the phases preceding it they never threatened the line. Stop looking at the stats and look at the game. And ******* relax a little, it's only rugby.
29 May 2012, 22:50 pmokay outta here . Gunite girls. Chill Skop. Tiss but a game. A serious one but a game never the less.
29 May 2012, 22:52 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-277:
Much better post but I disagree about a few things. Why can't all you're posts be like that?
29 May 2012, 22:54 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-277: so you happy to count a forward pass as a try?
desperation knows no bounds i see snoeky?
29 May 2012, 22:55 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-279: cheers bud.
29 May 2012, 22:59 pm@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-277: ja, before I go…..you right, we did put up a decent fight and certainly did come back in the second half but by then we were always chasing the game. Michelak had a blinder and some of our guys had shockers. Overall, we were beaten fair and square. No disgrace IMO. It did after all take place in the Tank and who the hell wins there with a South African accent sans a winter suntan.
29 May 2012, 23:02 pmnow chaars. Enjoyed.
29 May 2012, 23:09 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-283:
correct.. so why don't these little guppieyuppie poeftas rather hail queen Mary for her gifts of grandiose generosity than befuddle their brains with some bullshit baffling bravado that they fck'd us up to kingdom come and beyondthey were so shitting their little pompous pom pom pantaloons after Aplon's second try I could hear Queens Park choking up in one more delirious death defying ch..ch..ch..choke from here in False Bay.
29 May 2012, 23:10 pm@TASSIES(TASSIES)-284: so long .. out too
30 May 2012, 00:03 amThe basic message that i wanted to convey is that Vermeulen is not as slow as some people are making him out to be and i think that clip illustrated it. Everybody in his or her right mind knows that he cannot catch Mvovo if it is a straight race between the two of them- the same as Lambie who will not get near to Aplon in a straight race between them. It was not really necessary for you to have timed the period between the two tackles, lol.
I have no idea how many times Vermeulen scored from "short distances" in comparison to Alberts . Such comparisons are meaningless (too many other variables) and therefore the statisticians do not bother to even keep it I suppose..
30 May 2012, 03:00 amTime Keo introduced a word quota per blogger. Skop and HG will have used theirs up (repeating the same old crappola) within a few minutes and clear the airways for something other than mindnumbingly dull repetitive drivel. The best bloggers to read on this site are to the point, often genuinely witty, and don't have minds as closed as a camels arhse in a sandstorm.
30 May 2012, 05:58 am243 @ Wooden Spoon
Me moan afterward? Where? I back my team to the hilt. Win or lose. Unlike some if the Sharks fans who crept into their shells when the going got tough………….hello HG lol! I review the game, I never let emotion get to me, then move on.
30 May 2012, 06:06 amSo I see the Sharks could, by some mathematical miracle, still overtake the Stormers after Saturdays game according to some genius from the province who will always live in the shadow of the Cape. You guys believe anything is possible I see. Probably that you'll go on to win the comp too from here onward!

Good luck to your team this weekend.

Owners passed two safety-related rules Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meeting, but they tabled two more controversial rule changes.
Peel-back blocks are now banned, and teams are now prohibited from overloading one side of the defensive line on point-after and field-goal attempts.
The much-discussed crown-of-the-helmet rule proposal did not come up for a vote, according to the NFL Network. After a lively discussion of the controversial proposal, a vote was postponed until Wednesday.
Also, a vote on the infamous "tuck rule" is expected to come up Wednesday, with all indications that it would be eliminated. The tuck rule allowed a fumbled ball moving forward in the hand of a quarterback to be called an incomplete pass.
Under a proposed change, a player who initiated contact with the crown of his helmet anywhere outside of the tackle box would be penalized. The suggestion has drawn criticism from running backs past and present, including Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Marshall Faulk as well as current Chicago Bears rusher Matt Forte.
However, Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown told Newsday he favors the suggested rule change.
Under a newly implemented change, peel-back or chop blocks will be outlawed inside the tackle box. Such a block would result in a 15-yard penalty.
The regulation likely will be known as the "Brian Cushing Rule," after the Houston Texans linebacker who suffered a season-ending knee injury last season on an inside chop block.
As for placekicks, the overload rule was created because kick-defense teams were rushing through the gaps created by lining up more defensive players than the offense could block. Defensive teams now can have just six or fewer players on each side of the snapper at the line of scrimmage. Players not on the line can't push teammates on the line into blockers, either.
--Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway said the team wants to re-sign free agent defensive end Elvis Dumervil.
"We've offered Elvis a contract," Elway said. "We'd like to have Elvis back. We'd like to get it done as soon as possible, but I'm sure Elvis wants to see what else is out there."
The Broncos released Dumervil on Friday, about 35 minutes after he accepted a $4 million reduction in salary (from $12 million to $8 million), because the necessary paperwork wasn't filed by the 3:59 p.m. ET deadline.
That led to Dumervil firing his agent, Marty Magid, and replacing him with well-known veteran representative Tom Condon, who along with the Broncos then lost an appeal to have the verbal agreement honored by the league.
--Wes Welker's representatives disagreed with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's version of the discussions that sent the popular receiver to the Denver Broncos.
The statement from Athletes First, released to NFL.com, said the agency received one "take it or leave it" offer that left no other choice except the free agency route, and that eventually led to the Broncos deal.
--Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy said the team is exploring a long-term contract with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Murphy told reporters at the owners meeting that a deal likely would be done before the start of the season and would make him the NFL's highest-paid player.
"It's a priority," Murphy said. "I think as an organization, I think we all want to see that get done."
--The Indianapolis Colts agreed to a two-year deal with veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who was released by the division rival Tennessee Titans on Monday. The contract is worth $8 million over two years, according to the Indianapolis Star.
Hasselbeck gives the Colts needed experience behind Andrew Luck, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft who led the team to the playoffs as a rookie.
--As long as Tim Tebow remains property of the New York Jets, he'll get a chance to compete for the starting job, coach Rex Ryan said at the owners meeting.
Ryan said embattled incumbent Mark Sanchez will begin the offseason program as the starter, but his spot isn't guaranteed.
Sanchez threw for 2,883 yards and 13 touchdowns last season, ranking him 26th in passing and tied for 25th in touchdowns. He also tied Indianapolis Colts rookie Andrew Luck for third with 18 interceptions.
--David Carr, who has attempted three passes the past two seasons with the New York Giants, has agreed to re-sign with the team to continue serving as Eli Manning's backup.
Carr, 33, was the first overall pick in the 2002 draft by the Houston Texans. He spent five seasons as the Texans' starter before bouncing from the Carolina Panthers to the Giants and then the San Francisco 49ers before returning to New York in 2011.

Information about cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, clinical trials, proton therapy, complementary medicine, and cutting edge technologies.
Ways for cancer patients and caregivers to cope with cancer, side effects, nutrition, general cancer support issues, grief/end of life issues, and shared survivor's experiences.

This book is a well-written, comprehensive resource and is highly recommended. It would be particularly good for any cancer center to keep in their resource/education room. The guide starts off with an introduction to cancer, the basics on cancer rates, risk factors, biology and genetics. The authors do a great job of explaining this complex material in layman's terms.
Part 1 contains eleven chapters devoted to breast cancer, covering the A to Z; including: risk and prevention, screening and diagnosis, treatments including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and treatment of recurrent cancer. The section addresses some less common situations like breast cancer in men or during pregnancy, bilateral disease, and uncommon subtypes. One chapter is devoted to describing various reconstruction techniques.
Part II covers gynecologic malignancies, including: ovarian, endometrial, uterine (sarcomas), fallopian tube, cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers. Each disease overview includes a description of the cancer, screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment options, follow-up care and estimating survival. Surgical options and common treatments are covered in detail in most of the sections. Part III is entitled "Living With Cancer". This section covers the psychologic and emotional impact of cancer, strategies for communicating with friends, co-workers and children, self-help strategies and sexuality issues. There is one chapter written specifically for partners, which is excellent.
The book includes highlight boxes of helpful facts and common myths throughout, a glossary of terms and a section of color diagrams of anatomy, surgical procedures and the biology of cancer. Scattered throughout the book are stories of real patients, which are very helpful in understanding the human side of these diseases. The stories include women who have survived and some who have lost their battle. Each story presents an equally inspiring tale. Mayo Clinic Guide to Women's Cancers would certainly be helpful to someone with a new diagnosis facing decisions about treatment, but it may also be helpful to friends and family of someone with one of the diseases. This book is very well done and amazingly timely, with up to date information on research findings. I added it to the resource library of our outpatient office right away!

At first I wanted to ask to what they were objecting, but after I read it, I saw nothing to which a Nazarene leader could legitimately object to. So my inital gut question is moot.
It looks solid to me. Not to much to ask a leader to agree to a common covenant.

I once balked when handed a similar sort of document and asked to sign it. I had not had a chance to peruse the document ahead of time, and there was a line that I felt was not an appropriate requirement. However, there was really no opening to dialogue or have input into the document... it was simply handed to us and we were asked to sign. I refused (as graciously as possible). It upset some of the people on the board that I was on... but in all honestly, I would refuse to sign it again today. I am still in relationship with some of those people today, and while I'm still not sure they understand my hesitation, I don't think it has harmed our relationship.
I'm reminded that Moses went up and down the mountain 5 times in the process of receiving the Covenant from God. It appears that in the process, the people were asked whether or not they agreed with part(s) of the covenant before the covenant was inscribed in stone and handed down to them. In other words... I contend that even the Decalogue was a product of relationship... and not simply rules written on tablets handed down out of the sky.
All of that to say... while I don't happen to see any red flags on your covenant, I would question the value of the covenant if the people weren't engaged in helping to craft it along the way. If I were a board member and this was simply handed to me without any context or input, I might be hesitant to sign on the dotted line.
Hope that helps!
Grace and Peace,

My daughter's youth ministry contract requires adult SS attendance (she is not allowed to teach the youth SS, her teaching times are primarily Wed and Sun Night). She and I are in agreement that this is one of the best contract provisions we have ever encoutered. Rationale, she is required to pay attention to her own spiritual development as well as to oveversee the spiritual development of the youth to which she is charged to lead.

I think it's a fine contract. I wonder if shaping it to be more in line with the leadership requirements in the Manual (with maybe some further detail from you or the board added in) would give you more ground to stand on?
To me, someone in leadership balking at the SS requirement is a great avenue to have a discussion about discipleship in the congregation. Usually when people don't want to go to SS it's because they find it boring or unhelpful - it might be a good jumping off point for your leadership to explore ways to make it neither.

Hi Roy, I like your covenant. I use a simple covenant that is half the size. I adapted a covenant used by the Lowell First Church between 1990 and 2002 designed by now retired Rev. W. John White. (I like to give credit where credit is due.) Anyway the covenant I used has five simple statements (paraphrase) I will give a full tithe, I will faithfully attend all services unless providentially hindered, I will live a holy life with the help of the Holy Spirit, I testify to the experience of entire sanctification, and I will faithfully witness to the special rules of the church of the Nazarene. I ask people to sign this covenant as their acceptance to nomination to serve on church boards or in leadership positions. I have had a few who told me they could not sign it specifically because they did not tithe. They did not serve.

Roy, a "covenant" is normally two sided. What is in it for the person who signs? The ability to donate time and money to the church? Many of us would welcome an excuse to escape those responsibilities anyway. I probably wouldn't sign just out of principle. What gives you, as pastor, authority to request anyone to sign such a covenant? Nothing in the Manual requires such a "covenant."
How would you react if a committee of board members came to you and handed you a long list:
1. You will be on time to all church meetings.
2. You will dismiss all church services on time.
3. You will send a minimum of 4 hours in preparation for each sermon.
4. You will not gossip, even to other clergy.
5. You will faithfully tithe.
Would you sign? I expect not. You would feel insulted because they were asking you to do what you would do anyway because it is the right thing to do, not because of a "covenant." That is why I wouldn't sign your suggested covenant.

Exactly! Thanks Dave.
Also, I would have difficulty signing it because such "legal" documents are too often subject to "interpretation", and if someone had an axe to grind such words as e.g. "fooling around physically" might mean to them donning a clowns outfit and performing at children's events. I know I've used an extreme example here, but having grown up in the CotN in Australia where the wearing of outward adornments was interpreted to mean for women: "The wearing of a broach on a dress is okay, but a necklace is definately out"!..... I understand that anything that silly is possible in regards to interpretation.
So no, I think it's a bad idea!

I like your covenant Roy, the things listed are things that every Board member should be doing. My worry is the approach, I believe that the impetus should come from Board members to Board members, with your nurturing guidance of course.
One of the finest Pastor's to have ever served on our district, equated his Board to be his personal seven day a week congregation. He kept in constant contact with his board members, he expected every one of them to be ministry minded. Not that he required them to be, rather he "expected" them to be. Just like the manual says "we expect" his conversations with Board members would always be with expectation. He would call his Board members in the morning before they left for work to pray with them briefly and offer them encouragement. He would ask what discipleship opportunities they were perusing, he kept very close to his Board. Toward the end of his career he had the maximum 25 Board members and each one had special care, consideration and expectation from their Pastor.
I heard him describe this relationship during a sermon once, as he finished up, he lowered his glasses, smiled and said "you want to be on my Board?" "We aren't playing church here, our Board members are ministers, each and every one of them!"
I sense that you seek to partner with your Board in vision for your church. I'm thinking that your drawing close to them with great expectation will bring greater results than having them sign a pledge. Some folks will sign and ignore, while others you have already noticed will balk at it. Yet they are defenseless against a caring and eager Pastor who seems to show up at every turn.
To know and to serve God, of course, is why we're here, a clear truth, that, like the nose on your face, is near at hand and easily discernible but can make you dizzy if you try to focus on it hard. But a little faith will see you through.

I do. I got the opportunity to be a SS Supt once. I implemented a rotation policy as best I could. I was not always able but the teachers understood what I was trying to do and went with it. It was a blessing, though not at the beginning. I had absolutely know clue how to run a SS. Thanks to my access to people like Stan Toler, Elmer Townes, Jan Forman and especially my direct access to Millard Reed (my second dad), I was able to muddle through. Initially, I had difficulty with two competing Church Bosses. I told one of them to take his toys and play elsewhere, the other one had a change of heart and started supporting the yourng rookie. The SS ballooned from less than 50 to over 200 in short order. I think it had a lot more to with me being clueless and seeking help from anywhere I could find it than me being some kind of Church growth guru. SS out ran Sunday Morning Worship for a while which caused other problems.
Serious, this in not false modesty, I really had no clue.
How does this apply to the current conversation besides me waxing elloquent: I made the SS Board write and sign and agree to be accountable to a covenant. I have since used covenents for my Teen Bible Quzzing Teens. In both cases, the overarching theme was agreeing to something and agreeing to be accountable to each other for that agreement.

As with much of the rest of life, I see the document as one minor component of a relationship.
To have this abruptly thrust into my hands to sign would be a shocker & turnoff.
Especially if I received after the election.
However, if it came with suitable discussion (e.g., in a small group, or, for that matter, in a sermon) that would allow me to understand the rationale behind each statement, and "own" it as my own, it probably wouldn't be offensive.

If this is a joint document of pastor and involved board members then I believe this to be the kind of leadership that is expected in Timothy and Titus.

It is not new. It was developed with board input the previous year. This church year it was introduced in a board meeting and each item on the page was discussed in the meeting. The previous board had made alterations to the wording, and there is only one person on the board who was not part of the group that developed it. And that person is not a holdout.
I understand Dave's point, which is why I asked the question. One of the issues in my local tribe is the low expectations of leaders and members. There seems to be a culture of "let the pastor do it" and people in leadership positions not taking responsibility for their position. This was my attempt to at least clarify the expectations of each other. When my salary was cut nearly 40% last year, we - board and pastor - had a lengthy discussion of what they wanted me to spend my time on with the understanding that the lay leadership would have to step up. This is part of that process in my mind
Thanks Jim. Let me chew on that one, because I like it. In some sense, you are sniffing out my heart. I have chosen some of the board to be invited to be part of the first wave of small group leaders. I chose those with time, and a heart for what we are trying to do. We meet regularly and are in not daily contact, but several times per week about how life is going. I am A or AA compared to the Big Leagues of what you are describing.

I wouldn't sign it. I take the commitments I make far too seriously to routinely make promises I can't keep, and I couldn't keep these promises. From first to last, I would struggle with it. I'm not nearly enamored enough with being part of the official church structure to take on that struggle. After all, the pay is the same whether a person serves on the church board or finds their ministry opportunities outside the official structure.
I dug around in the archives on my hard drive and found my response to the closest I have seen to this type of thing. Signing it was a requirement for being on the ballot one year. I declined all nominations and filed my response under "election fits". Among other things, I pointed out that all the commitment was on the part of the volunteer layleaders -- e.g., showing up to all meetings -- with not a single corresponding commitment on the part of the organization -- e.g., scheduling and announcing meetings in a timely fashion with consideration for the participants' personal schedules.
To be honest, I had some huge issues with the way the elections at the time consistently resulted in an all-male board other than the NMI prez, so finding additional reasons for declining all nominations didn't exactly break my heart. The "covenant agreement" served well as a deal-breaker for a deal I didn't want to make anyway. But even without all that, I wouldn't sign the much-more-involved agreement you have offered here. I would realize the moment I saw it that my ministry would be outside the official church structure for as long (and as far) as the covenant agreement was a requirement for working within the structure.

I wrote this part last: Marsha, I understand your perspective, please understand that my perspective is radically different and is not intended to discount your opinions or feelings.
Marsha, I almost agree with you. My problem is that I hold the volunteer at least as accountable as the paid staff, if not more. I try to hold both equally accountable, but tend to be more harsh on volunteers. I may have been the only person I know to have "fired" a volunteer. I kind of relate it to salaried worker versus wage earner. The salary worker (volunteer), in my little world is committed to whatever it takes (or else I don't need their services, I have no use for I'll only do xxx volunteers. I'd rather do without), while the wage earner (the paid staff, to include the pastor) is committed to their contract. Anything they do above that, I caount as a bonus not to be counted on in the future.
It should be an equal partnership, not a pastor/layity 50/50 partnership, but a pastor=1 of however many attend the church partnership. Again, this is just Dan's little fantasy world, but in this world, if there is any slack to be taken up is is to be taken up by the laity (the volunteer).
I believe we have gotten too comfortable in paying people to do the ministry that belongs to us. We abdicate our responsibilities because we can afford to do so. "That's the pastor's job" has been our battle cry for far too long.
My take on this is rooted largely in my studies on the organizational life cycle, mostly as it applies to volunteer organizations. There are many models available for free brousing on the internet. All I have found agree on the major points.

Roy, I accept that your motives are honorable, but the list you posted didn't have the list of expectations for the pastor. If such a list were presented to me, I would decline to sign it even though I have not trouble with any of the substance. If a pastor presented a similar document with the top section being a list of expectations for the pastor, I might accept it. My basic problem is that I think of my pastor as a professional and I expect him to think of me the same way.
Our church board had a very out spoken member who wanted to make up a list of expectations for our pastor. His list included the minunimin number of hours in the office, a requirement to keep and report time working, etc. I argued on behalf of the pastor that a pastor is a professional person. When you employ a professional, you aren't concerned about the hours and details of the work. You are concerned only with the results.
I serve on a number of boards, both corporate and nonprofit. Not one of them has provided a list of expectations beyond attendance at meetings. If they did, I would resign because I consider a board position to be a professional position.

I appreciate that Dave, I really do.
The board members may choose not to sign it, and one has spoken with me about the objection to SS attendance. Maybe it is a well-intentioned but misguided attempt to get the board to honor their commitments on my part. We in essence deliberated how my time would be spent given the reduced pay and hours. I wanted their input because someone was going to have to take up the slack.
In a perfect world, we would have time for leadership development and being able to bring people along. In the next year, we could be facing some very unpleasant decisions regarding our existence. And with me already bi-vocational, I can't just have stuff not happen because the leaders don't view their commitments as valuable.
If you have another suggestion, I am all ears. I mean that in all sincerity with no sarcasm.
Based on Dave's input and on Marsha's input I am rethinking using a covenant.
Dave, I have to disagree as respectfully as I possibly can. Though I wholeheartedly agree that we pay professionals for results, I contract professionals routinely as part of my job. I am very explicit with my requirements. I consider professionals too "professional" to agree to requirements as not hireable. If it helps, try to consider it as
clearly defining expectations in a relationship. Of course I don't expect the pastor to answer the phone, I do expect the phone to be answered, re, you allusion to results. My angst with professionals is with what I perceive refusal to be held accountable by peers and/or people who are not their peers. It is an acute problem in the medical profession to the point that equals disrespect each other. I have observed the same attitudes both in the lawyer profession and among clergy.
I don't think you are going as far as much of what I have observed, however, I have seen the opinion you have just used as a bludgioning weapon by professionals, not only on each other but also against professionals from other professions who work with them (whom they could not succesfully practice without).
I view a covenant on a much higher order than I do contracts. In two cases, one an air ambulance involving, pilots, nurses, and EMTs, all professionals in their own right, refused to comply with our requirements. I did not make a big deal with them per se. After I hung up, I instructed the planners to give me the next air ambulance up.
Relevant parties met with that group here today, its my understanding that they now better understood the parts or our requirements that are not negotiable.
I expect professionals, above all others, to be held accountable to the lowliest person they serve, yea, verily, even unto the janitor (sanitation engineer if you prefer).

Not neccessarily. Rather I have found it a good teaching tool to emphasise accountability. I think it can bring out the true nature of the volunteer. It will remind and energize the ones who are trustworthy but have become lax, and expose those who won't agree to anything except on their own terms. I've used it in the context of my rookiness and my attempt at leading a group in to areas they were not quite comfortable. And I have found it useful with my teen bible quizzer's as a teaching tool for accountability and goal setting (staying on an agreed task)
YES, I outlined my own responsibilities in the covenants in both cases, and signed right along with the board in the one case and the students in the other.
Roy, I would never sign a piece that required of me to avoid the appearance of evil. It is not Biblical and would in fact even make Jesus unqualified. http://www.crivoice.org/appearance.html.
I'm not too hot on the last part either:What if something happened, out of the control of the person in question, that caused this? This reads like it's some kind of moral failure, but it may be something as simple as spouse or child getting ill and needing care. Taking care of my household FIRST is already a sign of spiritual maturity."At any time that I cannot fulfill these requirements and/or any time leadership determines I am unable to fulfill these responsibilities or my life becomes out of order, I will discontinue my leadership responsibilities. I will be willing to meet with a leadership team that will help me to be restored to leadership. This does not mean I am not welcome at Hobart Church of the Nazarene and that I should not be involved with church activities; this is to protect me & allow me to mature in Christ and to protect the integrity of the ministry and the ones to whom we are ministering."

OK, now I'm feeling unkind in rejecting your proposed covenant without offering a better idea.
The thing is, requiring church leaders to sign a covenant agreement is imposing outward requirements when what you are really looking for is inward commitment. The Manual already sets forth requirements for church leaders as outlined in paragraph 113.11. To go beyond those requirements won't produce the heart for ministry you desire in your leaders.
A long history of dealing with Mennonites, Amish, and legalistic Nazarenes has convinced me that not only do outer restrictions fail to produce the hoped for heart change to support them, such restrictions are actually a hindrance in that they give people a false security of having a right heart because they are wearing the right clothes (or actions). It has always been much harder to stir up repentance in the heart of the self-righteous than that of the abject sinner.
We can't afford to spend our limited resources whitewashing sepulchers full of dead men's bones. Not only does it hide the real problem, but every moment spent in such activity is a moment lost to addressing heart issues.
In my opinion.

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with making explicit our implicit expectations for one another. And I think all of the expectations listed here are legitimate.
That being said, such a list as you have offered does the same thing that all such lists - as the Law - always do. It exposes sin, and reminds us of our failure. It offers no grace.
If this list is developed without conversation and outside of relationship, it seems adversarial and accusatory, as Dave has stated.
If this list is developed together, it still is difficult. Imagine sitting there, as a member of the board, and saying in the board meeting - "My spouse is against tithing. We struggle with this. I want to, but I do not know how to deal with this in a healthy way in our marriage." That is a very important conversation - and can happen in such a setting (It has occurred at our board meeting), but it would be much more difficult if there was already an explicit "If you don't do this you are a failure as a church leader" judgment on the books.
I am certainly not suggesting that the way we deal with such things is better - I just know that such a document, in our situation, would be detrimental to my pastoral relationship with my leaders.

I agree that covenants are two-sided (actually, three, if you count God's role).... I DO think it is reasonable to expect such things -- and being a pastor (Davd M.) does give one the responsibility (I don't like the term "right"; not quite as biblical). Dave M., as CEO of a company, is it outside of your responsibility to have certain up front agreements/expectations of those who work with you? If you said, "I expect for us to interact ______________," and they were offended and said "WHo do you think you are?", would you not have a problem with them? What benefits do the board members get? Accountability, growth in their maturity as believers in Christ, the privilege of serving the Church of Jesus Christ as overseers who have been entrusted with decisions that far outrank those of material benefit, etc. This is hard to understand from a purely business perspective, I realize, but theologically one can see it....
Sorry to sound "preachy," but I guess my point is that I wouldn't dismiss the idea of up front agreements altogether just because some board member thinks that the church is so privileged to have him/her give his/her time and money that he/she should not be subject to any accountability....
But, I do agree with Dave M. that these are expectations that should already be in place before one is even nominated to a board position. So, for me, reminding one another what we are called and expected to do by Scripture and the Manual at the beginning of a new church year especially, is reasonable. At that stage, if a board member balks, then perhaps her or she should re-examine whether or not they should be in leadership over time. But, as pastor, it is my calling to not only BE accountable (this is the part that volunteer board members like) but also to HOLD accountable (the part that "volunteers" balk at sometimes, if they have the wrong theological model of the church). If this is a two way street, then we are all helping one another and being Scriptural in our approach to leading the congregation in a humble, Christlike manner....
In summary (pardon the slight rant) -- Agree that covenant should be less legalistic sounding and more "two sided"; disagree that it is not the pastor's role to expect and communicate such things "up front", regardless of the amount of time and money a church member chooses to give.... Pastors are making financial and time sacrifices, too, even though we get paid. And if one is going to be a leader, he/she must be willing to be an example and to be accountable in love. Even if one is a volunteer....

You might make a good Supreme Court Justice Charles
Thanks for the thoughts. I saw this come across Dennis Bickers' FB feed today, and it hits at the heart of what is going on here. I just went through my 2-year review, and there is a lot of accountability in that process. Each of the board members gets to say their heart - positive and negative - to the pastor, and I found it to be helpful. What I am struggling with is how I get to communicate that back. They all have expectations - spoken and unspoken - of the pastor. Everything from how quickly I get to the hospital to how often I see the shut-ins to how I pray with people at the altar, choose songs, dress etc. I don't want to be negative about anyone, but somehow a culture of low expectation for the board developed. I know in years past they nominated from the floor just to get enough warm bodies on the board. The congregation is taking its cues from the board, and when they are spotty in attendance, they model the behavior that the congregation repeats. I have repeatedly said that it is rare for a group (congregation) to rise above the level of its leadership. For some reason, that doesn't seem to be sinking in.
I really don't know what to do. It sounds like the covenant is to legalistic. When the nomination letters went out, they had the Manual description of the board in them.
This is frustrating.
Having been on church boards a lot, I am getting a picture of what is going on. A lot of prayer is needed for this environment to change. Plus, healthy discussions in which you get to state your concerns as well, not just the board getting to say their piece. Maybe through regular conversations plus regular times of fellowship [following Jim's model] will help encourage higher behavior rather than giving off the feeling of forcing proper behavior.

The day's are getting warmer and warmer, and I want to go backpacking! :P
But something is stopping me to go and that's raw food. I would love to go on a 5 day backpacking trip but food would spoil inside my pack. And I definitely can't carry a cooler with a week supply of food on my back. So what foods could I bring for backpacking? They must have these requirements so they could be suitable for a backpacking trip.
- Light Weight
- Small
- Filled with Energy
- Full of Nutrience
- Have alot of Protein
- That won't Spoil
- Foods that are Filling
- And Fast/Easy to make
So far, the only thing I could think of is dehydrated fruit and trail mix. But eating nuts and dried fruit for days can be very sickening to me. Does anyone have any recipes or ideas that might work for backpacking or even a simple camping trip they would like to share? It would help out sooo much!
Also, I'm going to be taking a wilderness survival class about edible plants. So maybe I could get some plants and make a simple dinner from what I can gather around my camp site. And hopefully that could help me out with food. :] (Maybe I could pack light and not even bring food! XP)

Cedarburg's Kuhefuss House Museum will open for a summer season of educational and historic public tours on June 15.
The Kuhefuss House, in the heart of Cedarburg's historic downtown, dates from 1849 and was home to five generations of one of Cedarburg's oldest families. In 1989 the late Marie Kuhefuss, the last of the family to occupy the house, willed it to the Cedarburg Cultural Center to be operated as a museum.
The tours highlight both the history and architecture of the 160-year-old house, which began as a simple, small wooden structure and was added to and updated as the family grew and modern conveniences became available. The museum's docents interpret both the architectural heritage and the German-American cultural heritage of Cedarburg, as embodied in the house.
Tours will be conducted from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Fridays and from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, June 15 through August 24.
Special tour hours during Cedarburg festivals are as follows: Strawberry Festival: Friday: House will not be open; Saturday, June 23, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. : Sunday, June 24, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wine and Harvest Festival: Friday: House will not be open; Saturday, September 15, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday, September 16, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is $3 per person. The Kuhefuss House Museum is located at W63 N627 Washington Avenue, Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
