InchPincherToo replied to WarGhost's topic in SuggestionsWell, i wonder what Test_Airfield and Test_Bootcamp are exist for... Are these not necessary for 'testing' things or even training (alone locally) in PR? - Inch
Spartanish congrats!

PR Updated to 188.8.131.52 - Post any bugs here
InchPincherToo replied to =VG= SemlerPDX's topic in CooperativeSo, that explains why Beirut LRG isn't working anymore (literally with buggy changes)... Yesterday, i was playing it with couple of guys in there, the LRG one still works (somehow), but by the looks of it.. the layout IS NOT in actual LRG one (and it is the ALT one being reversed, playing in IDF side instead of RU, the assets are mixed from new Beirut layouts since this new update) How mindblowing.. and it also hasn't removed from the maplist rotation. Should we remove it for good? I'm going to miss the Beirut COOP128 for sure, old times... - Inch *PS: After knowing this, looks like i can't be online at some point, PERF BETA is now permanent and can't be turned off, seems now it's killing my PC performance (after more than 1hr playing, it overheats & freezes my screen 5 mins approx.). I definitely need to fix this issue first, then will come back later after it's done...
I had myself done with last semester exams 2 days ago, now i've got a 1,5 month day off from campus/uni. At this one, i have reached in some point that i might be needing a 'job' to live my life out there. But, honestly.. never actually thinked about that till now (there is a lot of things, but still not sure which one is suitable at least)
I was thinking about making something, related to PR while at day off like this (such as faction), but it will took a long time, so i had to save ones that important for progressing through to make it happen.
I'm probably going to start learn things that needed soon (modelling, mapping etc.), so i can experience working on something that 'real heavy' (PR Forums - Modelling/mapping isn't really that easy as it looks), and so my willing to do and learn on this kind of work... (currently looking at softwares, such as 3DS Max, BF2Editor etc.)
Btw, the admin in PR isn't really my main job (just a side one, besides of campus student), not really taking that seriously at the moment, mostly busy everyday, except in Weekends. But, i'll be there when needed (sometimes hanging around TS helps me, if problems happen in-game, so i can help out solving them)
I definitely need to do some dishwashing right now...
- Inch
Busy busy bee!!!
Dude, I love that game, so realistic and addicting, but usually in here, i called it 'dishwashing' (satisfying and relieving stresses out from head) But hey, that's what i do in real-life besides of studies - Inch
Not so all of them i guess, me myself while got online, VG comes at first (Aussie servers like more 300 ping for me, even though its close) But i realized there's servers that has low ping ones, might be possible for few Asians, the Taiwan (Coop) and Japanese (Canned Catfood Gaming on both Deployment and Coop) But, never know what's going on out there lately, so trying to catch-up/update.. There is still some players whether old/new seeding the server past few days as i saw, but they're also dead in some low pop situation (whether the boring maps, frequent crashing, violations etc.)
And i completely forgotten about Scorpions and MT-LB 6MB "Beast" 7 Spandrels... must be quite challenging, but isn't that too much? Maybe more quad-guns as @=VG= BinkleDinkle said would do- And please add bomb cars and garry lol
M27 or IAR
InchPincherToo replied to Jersans's topic in MilitariaInfantry Automatic Rifle (IAR) and Light Machine Gun (LMG) seem has a different terms in meaning. HK M27 is an IAR, which adopting standard-long magazines (<30 rds) instead of more drum/box magazine (100-200 rds) in one person of a squad, sounded that the USMC seem wanted to replace it with M27 since M249 has been long in service for many years (there are some problems might be known on M249, such as gun jammed while firing, maintenance costs etc.). I'm pretty sure that these will still remain not in Marine Corps but in the Army instead... And yet they are assessing them by terms of its reliability, handling, accuracy etc. It is good as it looks (somehow better than M249), with standard Harris bipod for suppressing fire while proning, a longer heavy barrel for stability firing over mid-long range and some optic attachments for effective aiming. This gun suits up for necessary suppresion (using less rounds on specific targets) and CQC battles in the field, much better than M249 since it's heavier than M27. This doctrine, will be exist to some countries in future, they might be going to replace their AR platform with something lighter than LMG's Yeah, i think it's good weapon overall, i always like what HK did back there, they're all good stuff.. RPK and Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) are the examples for IAR. And yet this is the same as his older brother, HK417 , BUT he is a DMR instead of IAR (HK M27 as USMC said 'two-weapons in one', both as IAR for close-quarters/suppressing and possibly DMR for engaging specific targets at certain range with stable accuracy) And if they're having M27 to replace M4/M16's, would that be too expensive instead of M27 replacing the M249? HK XM8 and guns from Individual Carbine competition for M4 replacement (such as KAC SR-16, RobArms XCR, LWRC M6A4, Remington ACR, FN SCAR, Colt CM901 and suprisingly HK416 ITSELF-!) are the victims on this.. - Inch PS: Oh, btw. The Indonesian Marine Corps (Amphibious Recon team) also testing these as well (what a dream.. )
Yeee- can't wait for this one Keep up the good work, man-! 5x BMP-3 5x BMP-2M (With Konkurs/AGL) 3x BRDM Spandrel ATGM 2x MT-LB Shturm ATGM 2x IGLA Emplacement 3x ZPU-4 Quad-Guns 1x MT-LB Gopher AA (or BRDM Gaskin AA as Alt) 2x ZSU-23-4 Shiilka 4x T-72M1 1x T-62 2x Mil Mi-35P Hind-F 2x Mil Mi-28 Havoc Are these on their side, Double? - Inch
Let's just say all countries in the equatorial lines are the treasure on this earth, like the Borneo for example (illegal logging and some wild huntings still exists, and also explains why Forest Guards exist as well) What kind of thing that those Forest Guards being issued here at my country are these below: Seems legit gun? A 9x19mm standard NATO, and also likely replacing the early PM1 ( copy of Beretta M12, it was a failure for adoption in service ) for the Forest Guards. But, still... it was produced until now, and never adopted by the Armed Forces or even the Police... Originally it was like this: Late-version of PM-2 with integrated silencer inspired from S. Korean Daewoo K5 SMG and also HK MP5's and collapsible stock All looks decent until this came out: Inspired by HK MP5, this one is potentially can be the success to adopt for Armed Forces/Police. Has a battle iron sights as standard issue and Mepro's M21 RDS I'm always having a respect and appreciating to what the local company did there, it is good to see that things are moving and developing as it should be, so they can compete not just inside, but also in the worldwide sales as well (on exporting, seeing interests out there in some countries) - Inch
It looks like a MP40, M3 Grease Gun and a PPSH sub-machine gun combined What's the fate on this gun? Is it still used by the Brazillian military or police? Hope they're not the same as like my country SMG's does ( PM2, a local produced SMG that intended to issue for Armed Forces/Police, but they only issued this for Forest Guards instead ) - Inch
project reality PR Vehicles - LGS Fennek armored scout car (German/Dutch Army armored scout car today)
InchPincherToo posted a blog entry in The Almanach of FirepowerHello guys, it's been a while. I haven't posted something new on the forums (usually at Militaria forum section), i had been busy with some campus works/assignments, and it goes from there. But, if i'm having a free time, will be updating and continously posting while i still can. This is some of the knowledge, to you all the readers.. enjoy-! Today, i'll be talking about LGS Fennek, requested by @=Wolf= Jersans from previous posts (so, this is likely a late post, and sorry for being late-). It's basically an armored scout car equivalent to some others, like Chinese (PLA) VN3 and Russian/Polish BRDM-2 (or BRDM-2M-98 Zbik's) The Fennek, named after the fennec (a species of small desert fox), or LGS Fennek, with LGS being short for Leichter Gepanzerter Spähwagen in German (Light Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle), is a four-wheeled armed reconnaissance vehicle produced by the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Dutch Defence Vehicle Systems. The Turkish company, FNSS Defence Systems acquired the right for licence production in 2004. It was developed for both the German Army and Royal Netherlands Army to replace their current vehicles. - History In April 2000, the prototype vehicle finished field trials and in December 2001, a combined order was placed. 410 were ordered by the Royal Netherlands Army (202 reconnaissance, 130 MRAT (medium range antitank) and 78 general purpose versions) and 222 by the German military (178 reconnaissance, 24 combat engineer, 20 joint fire support teams (JFST)). More Fenneks for the German Army will be procured from 2015 on. Germany plans an overall purchase of approximately 300 Fenneks. The first vehicle was delivered to the Netherlands in July 2003 and the first to Germany in December of the same year. Deliveries will continue until 2011 (additional orders for the German Army are planned from 2015 on). The Dutch SP Aerospace company, which produced the Fennek for the Dutch military, was declared bankrupt in August 2004. A new company called Dutch Defence Vehicle Systems (DDVS) was created to continue the production of the vehicles for the Royal Netherlands Army. - Specifications The Fennek has four wheels with selectable two or four wheel drive. It has a Deutz diesel engine producing 179 kW, giving it a top speed of 115 km/h. Tire pressure can be regulated by the driver from inside the vehicle to suit terrain conditions. The primary mission equipment is an observation package mounted on an extendable mast. Sensors include a thermal imager, daylight camera and a laser rangefinder. Combined with the vehicle's GPS and inertial navigation system the operator can accurately mark targets or points of linterest and pass that data to the digital battlefield network. The sensor head of the observation package can also be removed and mounted on a tripod for concealed operation, as can the control unit from the vehicle should the crew want to use the entire system dismounted. Many Fenneks of the German Army are also equipped with Aladin miniature UAVs. LGS Fennek SWP (Stinger Weapon Platform) LGS Fennek MRAT (Anti-Tank Guided Missile Carrier) Various weapons can be fitted, such as a 12.7 mm machine gun for the Dutch reconnaissance version, a Rafael Spike anti-tank missile on the Dutch MRAT version or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher (HK GMG) or Rheinmetall MG3 for the German vehicles. The Royal Netherlands Army also placed an order at the Turkish company Aselsan for 18 Raytheon Stinger surface-to-air missile launchers to be fitted on the Fennek. The launcher in this case is the Stinger Weapon Platform (SWP), with four Stinger missiles intended for mid-range air defence. The launcher can be controlled from on board the vehicle, or else remotely as part of a distributed air defense system. On the Dutch Fennek the primary weapon is the 12.7 mm machine gun. The vehicle is protected all-round against 7.62 mm rounds and additional armour can be added if the mission requires. The air conditioning system provides protection against nuclear, biological and chemical warfare and the crew compartment is protected against anti-personnel mines. German Bundeswehr LGS Fennek with HK GMG 40mm automatic grenade launcher Main Specifications: Weight: 9.7-10.4 tonnes Length: 5.71 m Width: 2.49 m Height: 1.79 m Crew: 3 Main armament: HK GMG 40 mm grenade autocannon or Rheinmetall MG3 (German version), M2HB 12.7 mm machine gun (Dutch versions) Secondary armament: Not applicable Engine: Deutz diesel 179 kW (239 hp) Power/weight: 18.5 kW/tonne Suspension: Selectable 4 wheel drive Operational range: 860 km Speed: 115 km/h - Operational History Both Germany and the Netherlands have deployed Fennek reconnaissance vehicles to Afghanistan in support of ISAF. On 3 November 2007, a Dutch Fennek was hit by an improvised explosive device killing one and wounding two other occupants. The vehicle and its crew were taking part in an offensive operation targeting the Taliban in the province of Uruzgan, Afghanistan. In another incident a German Fennek was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. It's hollow charge jet penetrated the vehicle through the right front wheel rim, passed through the vehicle and blew the left door off the hinge. Thanks to the spall liner the crew sustained only negligible injuries. - Operators Current operators: - Germany German Army (Bundeswehr) - 222, to be increased to 248 - Netherlands Royal Netherlands Army - 365 Future operators: - Qatar Qatari Emiri Land Force - 32 Hope you guys enjoy the reading-!

project reality PR Guns - What is KPVT ? (For those who doesn't know)
InchPincherToo posted a blog entry in The Almanach of FirepowerNOTE: This is based on my previous post in Militaria section Q: What is this all about? A: A Soviet-made KPV Heavy Machine Gun-! Q: Is it included/available in PR:BF2? A: YES! In BTR APC series, BRDM-2 and anti-air quad guns (ZPU/ZPTU series) The KPV-14.5 heavy machine gun (KPV is an initialism for Krupnokaliberniy Pulemyot Vladimirova*, in Russian as Крупнокалиберный Пулемёт Владимирова, or КПВ) is a Soviet designed 14.5×114mm-caliber heavy machine gun, which first entered service as an infantry weapon (designated PKP) in 1949. In the 1960s, the infantry version was taken out of production because it was too big and heavy. It was later redesigned for anti-aircraft use, because it showed excellent results as an AA gun, with a range of 3,000 meters horizontally and 2,000 meters vertically against low flying planes. It was used in the ZPU series of anti-aircraft guns. Its size and power also made it a useful light anti-armour weapon on the BTR series of vehicles and the BRDM-2 scout car. *Literally means Vladimir Heavy Machine Gun Now let's go to the main gun topic, KPVT-! The version for use in armoured vehicles is called the KPVT (tankoviy, 'tank'). KPVT is used for armoured vehicle installations, boats, movable and stationary mounts and various anti-aircraft mounts. It features a shorter receiver and a heavier barrel jacket. TheKPVT also uses a 50-round belt instead of the original 40-round belt. KPVT's are the primary armament of the wheeled BTR-60PB/70/80 series armoured personnel carriers* and BRDM-2 armoured reconnaissance vehicles*. It is intended for fighting against light armoured targets, weapons systems and light shelters at the distances of up to 3000 m, as well as air targets at distances up to 2000 m. The distance at which the bullet retains lethal force is 8 km. The maximum flight range of the bullets is 9 km. *Which uses BPU-1 Turret, conical-type turret along with PKT 7.62mm Coaxial General-Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) - Mechanics of KPV Heavy Machine Gun: The development of the machine gun began in 1944. The 14.5×114mm M41 cartridge can be used with High Explosive Incendiary - Tracer (HEI-T) or Armour-Piercing Incendiary (API) bullets, and they have approximately twice the energy of a 12.7 mm (.50 BMG) projectile. The KPV is air-cooled and fitted with barrel with a hard chrome plated bore. It uses a short recoil operation system with gas assistance and a rotary bolt. It can be fed with the 40-round metallic belt from either the left or right side. The barrel can be removed by turning the prominent latch on the forward end of the receiver and pulling on the barrel's carrying handle. - Versions of KPV Heavy Machine Gun: The ZPU** is a towed anti-aircraft gun based on the KPV. It entered service with the Soviet Union in 1949 and is used by over 50 countries worldwide. *Quadruple- (ZPU-4), Double- (ZPU-2) and single-barreled (ZPU-1) versions of the weapon exist. *BTR-40A SPAAG - A BTR-40 APC with a ZPU-2 gun mounted in the rear. Entered service in 1950. *BTR-152A SPAAG - A BTR-152 with a ZPU-2 mounted in the rear. Entered service in 1952. **History of ZPU right here: 1. Precursors: The first dedicated Soviet mount for anti-aircraft machine guns was developed around 1928 by Fedor Tokarev and was adopted for service in 1931. It was a base for mounting up to four 7.62 mm PM M1910 (Russian Maxim) guns. This was also called a ZPU, although the name М-4 was also assigned to it. It served the Soviet armed forces in all major conflicts until 1945. 2. Description: Development of the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 began in 1945, with development of the ZPU-1 starting in 1947. All three were accepted into service in 1949. Improved optical predicting gunsights were developed for the system in the 1950s. All weapons in the ZPU series have air-cooled quick-change barrels and can fire a variety of ammunition including API (B32), API (BS41), API-T (BZT) and I-T (ZP) projectiles. Each barrel has a maximum rate of fire of around 600 rounds per minute, though this is practically limited to about 150 rounds per minute. The quad-barrel ZPU-4 uses a four-wheel carriage similar to that once used by the obsolete 25 mm automatic anti-aircraft gun M1940. In firing position, the weapon is lowered onto firing jacks. It can be brought in and out of action in about 15 to 20 seconds, and can be fired with the wheels in the traveling position if needed. The double-barrel ZPU-2 was built in two different versions; the early model has large mud guards and two wheels that are removed in the firing position, and the late model has wheels that fold and are raised from the ground in the firing position. ZPU-2 turned out to be too heavy for the Airborne Troops, so a new UZPU-2 (later redesignated as ZU-2) was developed from ZPU-1. The single-barrel ZPU-1 is carried on a two-wheeled carriage and can be broken down into several 80-kilogram pieces for transport over rough ground. Versions of the weapon are built in China, North Korea and Romania. 3. History: The series was used during the Korean War by Chinese and North Korean forces, and was later considered to be the most dangerous opposition to U.S. helicopters in Vietnam. Later it was used by Morocco and the Polisario Front in the Western Sahara War. It was also used by Iraqi forcesduring Operation Desert Storm and again in Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 1974 the Cyprus National Guard artillery batteries used their ZPU-2's against the Turkish air force. In the Russian military, it was replaced by the newer and more powerful ZU-23 23 mm twin automatic anti-aircraft gun. The type has seen widespread use by all sides in the 2011 Libyan civil war and Syrian Civil War often mounted on pickup-truck technicals with plenty of videos showing the gun engaging different targets. The Lebanese Army has mounted the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 on M113 armored personnel carriers to create armored self-propelled AA vehicles. Literally means Zenitnaya Ustanovka/ZU or Zenitnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka/ZSU years later (if you familiar with the assets name, in-game) - Specifications of KPV Heavy Machine Gun: Weight: 49 kg (108.03 lb) Length: 1,980 mm (78.0 in) Barrel length: 1,346 mm (53.0 in) Width: 162mm Height: 225mm Cartridge: 14.5×114 mm Caliber: 14.5 mm Action: Short recoil operation Rate of fire: 600 rpm Muzzle velocity: 1,005 m/s (3,297 ft/s) Effective firing range: 3000m Maximum firing range: 4000m Feed system: 40-round belt Thanks for reading, hope that helps people that unfamiliar with the guns in-game (Project Reality).

My Return
InchPincherToo replied to CNJ Jonathan's topic in General ForumHey, mah man here. Welcome back-!!! Glad to see you here again- Being busy lately, but will be around in forums (some projects) Looking forward to meet you again some time, catch you up later - Inch
Hey guys,
I just started modelling with 3DS Max 9 yesterday, planning to make something (simple at first, and then go for more intermediate/advanced ones, still need a practice though), but any ideas for that?
PR is mostly that i'm aiming for, couple of reading some tutorials in PR Forums would do
- Bookshelf without materials yet
Nicely done.
Great software, that particular version.
One of the best builds of 3Ds Max.
Simple and uncluttered.
I regret not investing in the 64 bit version.
It is not the best for UV Mapping. (Look to adding Blender to your toolset to achieve great stuff)
But it will ensure you make great strides in modelling and rendering.
Even with the default Scanline renderer.
I cant find any of the old tutorials. There used to be loads on Autodesk's "The Area".
If I find any I will post them here.

Weird rule
InchPincherToo replied to dejan9122's topic in PRIt depends on how much players online, i do believe some assets like AN/TWQ-1 Avenger, Gopher or even the M163 Hovets (VADS) sometimes still being solo-ed by the others, in least of 25 players online If you were in-game, full server in VG Coop (40 players max), might be better to use them wisely by having 2 man operating one Heavy AA vehicle (it's also depends on situation, whenever these are needed or not). Medium AA's in here, known to be an exception for soloing (depends on the server AND situations, again-) But, not all of them can do the ground fights or capability to do so (especially against infantry). Missile-carrier based AAV (like Gopher, Fennek SWP etc.) or ATGM (Spandrel, Shturm etc.) can't engage enemy infantries here (you're only getting RPG-ed instead if you fight them, a risky move indeed) The missile (SAM) as you know in here, made from High Explosive warheads (a lot of them and used against every aircraft threats). FYI, you still can engage enemies on the ground, but you need the skill to do it, it's not that simple as Rocket Techies did. "With perfect aim, you can kill bunch infantry with these, but not recommended to use it frequently, only a waste and better as a last resort if the enemy closing-in" - Inch "Revise the rules, maybe?"

Happy Birthday VETERANS-GAMING
InchPincherToo replied to =VG= SemlerPDX's topic in Community NewsIt's likely been great pleasure to be contributing at the community, i never actually regretted myself to do so. Having serious and fun times over PR Coop server, so many times and countless numbers of teamworks and epic gameplay, that i can't mention one by one... No doubts, best community to offer coop experience that the others, the best place to call as a family in gaming community. It's been like almost a year since 2016 (or 2 years), this community changes my view in terms of gaming. From Play4Free, to Battlefield 2 and last one, Project Reality, which i founded it interesting to play than the others. And also, the Coop Server is likely my first place to go, after some practicing the basics of the game (readed the manual, locally play and test it). I'll never forget the moment that i step-in to the server, and meet some guys in-game, new friends and some knowledges about the game. In the end, Happy Birthday, Veterans-Gaming. Thank you for being exist in the gaming community- Peace out, - Inch

Texts conceal as much as they reveal, which means they need to be deconstructed to bring out the hidden assumptions, contradictions and gaps; furthermore, meaning is always deferred. • The 'grand narrative' is at an end, to be replaced by fragmentation, with many different even competing histories and the inclusion of groups formerly omitted or marginalized. The key phrase is 'history from below' but also a shift to a focus on culture. The radical antihistoristic elements of postmodernism are not in fact completely unexpected, as a close scrutiny of the developments in historical theory in the past two centuries shows (cf.
A 'maximal conservative' interpretation may be adopted by someone who is not a true fundamentalist. The old fundamentalism was generally easy to identify because it was blatantly and unequivocably apologetic about the Bible. Indeed, it was not unusual for the tone to be anti-intellectual. Neo-fundamentalism is just as fundamentalist, but it tends to cloak its defence of the Bible in the rhetoric of scholarship. A truly fundamentalist approach will usually show itself by the assumption that the Bible is inerrant in the autographs, whereas a 'maximal conservative' approach will usually have moved away from such a stance.
With some revisions (such as dating the initial appearance of Mycenaean IIIC Early phase 2 to about 1160 BCE), the low chronology would best fit the dating of Mycenaean IIIC Early to Middle at other sites in the eastern Mediterranean and would also provide a more reasonable dating of Bichrome to the eleventh continuing into the tenth, based on LB II-Iron I stratigraphic sequences at both Tel Miqne and Ashdod. 5. Pottery assemblages and the dating of various strata. Here there is a surprising difference of interpretation between professional archaeologists whom one would expect to agree about the facts in the ground: the relationship between the strata in the sites of Hazor, Samaria, Jezreel and Megiddo; the interpretation of Jerusalem; the dating of Lachish; the dating of the Negev destruction.

My People,
So this week was pretty dope. We had zone conference with the boss and it was so good and uplifting. And then yesterday we took our recent convert to the women's conference and that too was amazing. I loved it. I don't know but for me the message I got out of it was the
importance of really serving people with love. To really learn to love and accept people, and the way to do that is though service. But serving them because you like to, and because you want to. I totally agree with that. The members of the church could serve a little more with love. I too being included. Love is the gospel. When Christ came to the Americas he talked about the importance of loving and forgiving. It's something I'm really trying to work on, because without charity we are nothing.
It was a really Easter for me as well. Me and my comp bought chocolate eggs and then hid them in the piso for each other to find. (Yes I'm 20, and no I'm not a child) we also made pancakes and homemade syrup for breakfast...correction my comp made pancakes and syrup and I ate them. But they were like little droplets of heaven. Yum.
This week we taught these two 15 year old boys that I contacted with another Hermana when we were on splits. SO when Hermana Stephenson saw
them for the first time she turned to me and said 'Hermana they're punks! They don't wanna listen!' Ha ha ha ha ha. But it actually turned out really good...and they said they would read and they seemed excited to meet again. It was a little sad, because at first when we were talking to them, (getting to know them better, and all) we learned they are two kids who both live with one parent and just really (I feel) like have never been cared for. They said they spend most their time in the streets. So when we explained that God was their father who cared about them and loved them, their faces changed. As if for the first time, they heard that there really was someone out in the world who really cared for their well being. I mean, I'm sure, and hope it's not true, but I don't know it was a strange experience, and got me thinking. I'm really grateful for the knowledge I have of my Father in Heaven.
Thank you so much for everything,
Love Hermana Kelemen

Health Savings Accounts
Yes, they are still around! Were you hoping they might fade into the sunset?
Because of the high cost of health insurance premiums, more and more companies and individuals are enrolling in High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP) to reduce their health care premium costs.

Whether you are now offering HSAs or are thinking about offering HSAs, this 2 hour extremely informative webinar will give you the information you need to make sure you are setting the accounts up correctly and performing the proper maintenance and reporting.
- What are the 5 mandatory requirements for HSA eligibility?
- What is the definition of a HDHP?
- What are the NEW contribution limits for 2014?
- How do we handle the removal of excess contributions?

There is a brief little storm moving through our area and I could not be happier. The high temperatures have dipped back into the seventies and there is an intoxicating smell of freshness pouring in through my windows.
I'm reminded of one of my favorite songs from the nineties, Blind Melon's No Rain.
And so while you do the bee girl dance, here are some other tidbits for this drizzly day.
*I've been working behind the scenes to make my blog a bit more professional. I'm now copyrighted (woot!) and have a legal/disclosure page, just in case.
*I'm also working on starting a new Saturday series for the blog where I feature guest posts. Interested? Email me at becominneurotic (at) gmail (dot) com.
*I've been approached to contribute to a health website. As I can share more information, I will, but suffice it to say I'm extremely flattered and very excited.
*It was recently discovered that Scotty (my fiance) and I have never been bowling together in our near five years together. This will hopefully be rectified for our birthdays next week. I may have to granny-ball it, but I'm totally looking forward to it!
*Our new upstairs neighbor is turning out to be very nice. He actually came down to apologize for making noise while putting together a shelf and working on his vacuum cleaner. It's a bit of a novel feeling, having neighbors that aren't complete asses. Also? My dog didn't growl at him, which is a pretty good sign.
*I get to see my favorite lady tonight. I'm looking forward to her great hugs, some wonderful chatting and visiting, and to a fresh look. It never fails, a trip to Cathy's leaves me with my heart full and feeling more human.
*While I'll have posts up next week, I will technically be out. I'm having a medical procedure on Monday and will be taking the rest of the week to recover and rest up in order to be ready for my son's arrival that weekend. Hopefully by next Friday we'll also know whether or not insurance will cover the Remicade infusions my rheumatologist wants to start me on. Fingers crossed!

(from our daughter who is a high school counselor for the Willis ISD)
Today, 10 of the Willis ISD student ambassadors (plus Dani, Kai, Garrett, & myself) volunteered at the Montgomery County Food Bank from 9 – 12. The food bank had a little "presentation" explaining all they do and the process. Our job was outside – getting garden beds ready, planting various vegetables, mowing, hoeing, moving and spreading two HUGE piles of dirt/mulch, etc. it was a beautiful day to work outside. I am so proud of those students. They definitely represented our school well today!

Going Beyond the (First) Numbers
The Denver Post ran a front page story today based on their own polling data on the 2006 governor's race. Democrat Bill Ritter leads Republican Bob Beauprez by seven percentage points (42-35) in the Post poll, which carries a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. Those numbers are fairly consistent with what we have seen from other polls in recent months, which indicates the race to be a virtual toss-up at this point (though Ritter clearly has a slight advantage).
Those are the numbers that create the headlines, but they aren't the most interesting numbers. Most of what you can really learn from these polls comes from the "cross-tabs," as they are called, which show how voter preferences break down in other areas. When you dig down a little further, the numbers look even better for Ritter.
Ritter is favored by 15 percentage points among women (46-31), which as the Post points out, could indicate that his personal opposition to abortion isn't hurting him as much as some might have thought. The polling also shows that Ritter has the support of 10% of Republicans, while Beauprez only picks up votes from about 2% of Democrats. Furthermore, Ritter has a 41-33 lead among voters who are registered as Independent or unaffiliated. Both of these comparisons are important because Colorado is a Republican-leaning state in terms of overall voter registration. For Ritter to win in November, he's going to need the support of a number of Republican and Independent voters; it looks like he's getting that support thus far.
Perhaps the most important numbers from the Post survey are the favorable vs. unfavorable ratings for each candidate. Beauprez has much better name recognition than Ritter (25% of respondents recognize Beauprez, compared to 16% for Ritter), and both candidates are about equal in terms of favorability ratings. Where Beauprez really gets into trouble, however, is with unfavorable ratings; some 22% of respondents dislike Beauprez, while only 8% dislike Ritter. The election is still about four months away, and already more than one-fifth of Colorado voters know who Beauprez is…and they don't like him. It's far better to be unknown than unliked at this point in the campaign.

Edward Pultorak is currently on faculty in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He has authored over fifty-five publications, including articles in Kappan, Journal of Teacher Education, and Action in Teacher Education, and he currently serves as coeditor for Critical Issues in Teacher Education.
This book is an excellent resource for teacher educators who want to prepare teachers who can continue to learn in and from their practice and become better teachers throughout their careers. -- Ken Zeichner, Boeing Professor of Teacher Education, University of Washington Reflection on professional practice is key to improved education examining both the affective dimensions and cognitive outcomes of professional and personal actions. Pultorak and his colleagues provide an in-depth examination of the various dimensions of reflectivity that not only provide new perspectives, but raise critical questions about the role of reflectivity in education. Reflectivity and inquiry have a symbiotic relationship as twin stimulators that strengthen each other through mutual analysis and development. The book provides original research as well as comprehensive summaries of the field, illustrations of reflectivity in practice, and its potential as a driving force in improving education. -- W Robert Houston, John and Rebecca Moores Professor of Education, Distinguished Teacher Educator, University of Houston Teaching is clearly a complex activity. In this book, The Purposes, Practices, and Professionalism of Teacher Reflectivity, the authors comprehensively examine the learning centered community as a support for the integrated learning and development of P-12 students through inquiry-based practice. Each chapter reflects a common vision of teaching and learning grounded in research and practitioner reflective knowledge. Finally, the authors challenge teachers through effective teacher education to reflect on their own practice, consider school community and family contexts in connecting concepts, and develop protocols to enhance student learning. This book is a must for all educator libraries. -- Boyce Williams, vice president of international relations, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) The Purposes, Practices, and Professionalism of Teacher Reflectivity makes a significant contribution to teacher education by addressing directly and unapologetically the importance of the teacher reflectivity throughout the educational process and within teacher preparation programs. The collection of chapters starts with the role of teacher reflectivity in theory and research and ends with a thought-provoking section on reflectivity from an international perspective. Meshed between these sections are chapters that provide new insights and answer long-standing questions about the role of teaching reflectivity within teacher education programs, in the professional growth of teacher candidates, and within P-20 schools and classrooms. The approach taken by the editor and the authors to discuss reflectivity within various contexts contributes to the widespread appeal of the book. The book is well-written and organized in such as a way as to make it a must-have resource for teacher educators, teacher candidates, P-12 teachers and administrators, and anyone else committed to integrating teacher reflectivity into the teaching and learning process. -- Annette D. Digby, past president, Association of Teacher Educators; vice president for academic affairs and provost, Lincoln University In The Purposes, Practices, and Professionalism of Teacher Reflectivity, authors make significant contributions to the ongoing conversation in American education about the importance of studying teaching and learning. Teacher reflectivity is a learned practice, and the authors offer important insights about the impacts of reflectivity on various aspects of teacher education. Specifically, the book thoughtfully addresses teacher reflectivity as it relates to theory and research, teacher education programs, teacher candidates, and to schools and classrooms. An additional important emphasis is on teacher reflectivity from international perspectives. Indeed, this volume is an important resource for teacher educators and for others interested in advancing the study of teaching and learning. -- Sandra J. Odell, professor and chair, University of Nevada, Las Vegas; editor, Journal of Teacher Education This book offers a superb array of literature and research studies around teacher reflectivity. Its coverage is both broad and deep. The research is rigorous and exciting in both range and intensity. I was particularly taken by the historical and critical dimensions that explored teacher reflectivity over time and place. The argument that the work of teachers requires them to be reflective practitioners who can make complex professional judgements based on knowledge of students, pedagogy, curriculum content and teacher research is powerfully presented. Ideas about the 'reflective practitioner' , teachers 'technical rationality', 'practical action' and the importance of 'critical reflection' are vigorously presented through a careful analysis of theory, research and practice in schools and teacher education programs. There are many refreshing ideas and practical ways that teacher reflectivity can be taught and developed in dialogic spaces that show both great wisdom and experience by the writers involved. As a teacher educator I will use this book to enhance my skills in critical reflectivity and to develop my skills to analyse and explore my learning as it shapes and reshapes my world view and the actions I take as a professional educator to work towards reforms in schools, teacher education programs and to critique and act on my work and my world. I commend this quality publication as a way for professional educators to analyse and work towards researching their work to develop and encourage reflective professionals to engage in critical reflection throughout their entire career. As part of this process professional educators need work towards constructing educational systems that build in the time and place for dialogic spaces for educators to explore, share and develop reflective practitioners to work collaboratively to enhance student learning and teacher performance. -- Maxine Cooper, University of Ballarat, Australia; former president, Australian Teacher Education Association (Australia TEA) Everyone working in the educational field and interested in teachers' reflectivity should own this book. It situates teacher reflectivity as a provision of methods, tools and practices which can cause an important impact on teacher performance, teacher retention, student learning, teacher education and teachers' professional development. Written in a very accessible way, each of the eighteen chapters studies teacher reflectivity from a different perspective. Theoretical and research viewpoints are discussed, classroom practice and implementation aspects considered, pre-service as well as professional development practices described and the international contexts outlined. Due to the thorough and detailed contribution of all the authors, The Purposes, Practices, and Professionalism of Teacher Reflectivity becomes a self contained and comprehensive reference resource as well as a manual on teacher reflectivity. It will be a useful guide for teaching practitioners, researchers, lecturers, teacher trainers and decision-makers. A real must for all participants in the enhancement and innovation of education today and tomorrow. -- Arno Libotton, senior lecturer, Free University Brussels; former president, Association of Teacher Educators Europe (ATEE) Teaching teacher candidates to reflect is a nearly universal aspect of preservice teacher education. The rich collection of chapters that make up this unique book do not simply advocate reflection; however, they use compelling narratives and other data to examine the impact of reflectivity on teachers' and students' learning. Readers will find this engaging book both informative and provocative. -- Marilyn Cochran-Smith, professor and chair, Lynch School of Education, Boston College For teacher educators, teacher candidates, classroom teachers, administrators, and researchers, Pultorak (curriculum and instruction, Southern Illinois U. Carbondale) compiles 18 essays by teacher educators in a variety of fields from the US and Europe who consider the role of teacher reflectivity in teacher performance, retention, student learning ,and other aspects of education. Chapters originated in a national commission appointed by the Association of Teacher Educators in 2004 on these issues. The practical and research-based chapters discuss specific types of reflection in theory and research, education programs, with teacher candidates, in schools and classrooms, and from international perspectives like that of Chinese teachers. These include reflectivity as a social problem-solving process, changing dispositions of new teachers, facilitating instructional differences, self-assessment, teacher development, the role of inquiry-oriented learning communities, the use of journals, and the role of teaching standards.

text: Patient: My wife has iron-deficient anemia due to removal of most of her large intestines. Her hematologist in NJ told her the signifying factor was serum feritin levels but the doctors here in western PA tell her the signifying factors are hemoglobin levels. She has routinely had to have iron infusions (from NJ doctor) and is showing the symptoms (excessive fatigue, weakness, pale and clammy skin) that her NJ doctor used as an indication that she needs an iron infusion. If her hemoglobin level was tested last week at 12, what should a normal feritin level be? Also, what is more signifcant, the hemoglobin or feritin levels?

Secret #13: They touch things only once.
How many times have you opened a piece of regular mail—a bill perhaps—and then put it down only to deal with it again later? How often do you read an email, and then close it and leave it in your inbox to deal with later? Highly successful people try to "touch it once." If it takes less than five or ten minutes—whatever it is—they'll deal with it right then and there. It reduces stress since it won't be in the back of their mind, and is more efficient since they won't have to re-read or evaluate the item again in the future.

I'm a bit confused. Suddenly Purity Ring – whose debut record, Shrines, was steeped in creepy undertones that somehow worked – was enveloped with sunshine, and lots of it. Another Eternity continues the Canadian duo's mixing of everything and somehow making it work: a bit of dubstep, a bit of hip-hop, a bit of pop, all wrapped around that blanket of electronica, all thrown in a pop and mixed together. The lyrics are still obscure yet weirdly accessible, al down to Megan James' sweet yet deceiving coo. And yet, all that sunshine. It's not a bad thing. Shrines, I think, suffered from being too weird – although some certainly liked it that way, and it was that quality that sold me in the first place. Another Eternity is arguably their "pop album", although in this case, they haven't changed much. It's just a different packaging for what is essentially the same thing. It's confusing, but the results are interesting. [NB] | 4/5

Greetings from deepest stealth, fellow rogues!
We all need a little bonus to our stealth rolls from time to time – this goes double if you're a typical rogue, trying to do all the things at once – scout ahead, disarm that scythe blade trap, backstab that skeletal necromancer, etc. Today is your lucky day, however – we have all the pro concealer tips from a true connoisseur!
Christine from 15 Minute Beauty is a busy lady. She works full time, has a blog and a family. She gets phone calls all night long for work, not to mention restless nights of sleep because of pregnancy issues! It should come as no surprise that she has more concealer than a Sephora store.
Until next time, don't forget to check for traps!

To the little girl
with the big grin and long hair,
You think you know it all
But there's so much more out there, you just haven't seen it.
You'll go through heartaches
and learn to keep them to yourself.
Because it's easier to stash them away
Than to open up and risk the pain.
You are bold and brave
but reality will soon take it away
To make up for the emptiness, you'll take comfort in fantasies
and conform with the world's way.
The things you'll go through
Well, you will learn to get over them
For you were never the type to dwell in the past
Rather, you look forward to what is ahead.
This doesn't stop you from regretting
of the things you did without thinking
You will wish a million times
That somehow, you can change it
So many times you will feel that you are on your own,
Even though you are loved by so many, you will choose not to see it.
Sometimes you will acknowledge their sentiments,
But deep inside, you are scared that it's but a lie.
You will choose to be ignorant, deaf and blind
Because you are scared of reality and the pain it abides
You will barely speak of your feelings
Because you will think no one cares.
The present isn't at all that different.
A lot of things stayed the same.
But you will learn to slowly open the doors,
And let in the emotions you thought you couldn't hold.
To the little girl who wept alone on the floor,
The stars are always there; the clouds just hid them away.
So whatever happens, good and bad,
Just be true to yourself, and hold on to God's hand.

Many of Hong Kong's unairconditioned buses, nicknamed "hot dog" buses in Cantonese due to their heat in summer, were retired years ago after serving local passengers for decades.
Kowloon Motor Bus Company has provided parts from these buses to the Hong Kong Design Institute to give students material to transform into useful and creative products.
Four design students who joined the project showed their products to news.gov.hk, and discussed the valuable experience they gained from it.
Design Institute lecturer Wing Chiang said the project also develops students' sense of environmental protection.
The story appears today (May 19) in news.gov.hk in both text and video format.

There are children in Swan,
wearing burgundy-blood robes like monks,
learning adult forms of interaction and sacrifice
through the shadow play of rhythm games. Watching,
and acting out. Tell them things you wish were true.
No. Don't over think it. Mimicry isn't intellectual,
it's animal. It's plant; it's sapling growing into dying tree.
Now think about the combo word "into"; as if the structure
is already there and you just push up inside it, becoming it.
Push its lines and dashes, filling a you-space, a pattern at once
new and forgotten. The membrane stretches as you forget again
the shape of things that were and will be. Wishes aren't true.
In this city of white feathers and intestinal sewers we grow into
all our malformed and beautiful, or geometric and grotesque
prototype to human forms. Center-pinned halves, symmetrical
yet often torn at counterproductive purposes.
We are the children in Swan,
wearing the hand-me-downs and eating the breadcrumbs
casted off by agents provocateurs, those bigger than life shapes
projected from mythic conquering ghosts of a flexible history
onto cavelike eyeballs; our soul windows are also cineplexes
with the power to influence, confuse, and delight.

Village church
I painted this yesterday on our way home from London. It's a church in a small village we passed through in the Hertfordshire countryside. It was about 5pm (i.e. still on winter time) and the light was fading fast. The subject (see photo below) was rather dull in itself – or at least it did not inspire me – but what was interesting was the subtle interplay of greys, with different chromatic greys playing off one another. I didn't see much point in painting the scene representationally.
So I set my pochade box up on the top of a wheelie bin just inside the churchyard gates, squeezed out white, ultramarine, burnt sienna, raw sienna, Vandyke brown (like Burnt Umber but darker) and a touch of Cad Red. Then, after a few ultramarine lines to give a hint of structure, I launched in. This was good fun; not a lot of time to think, but I tried to incorporate the right colour relationships, have some sort of overall balance, and pick up a few physical motifs. I also tried to show the "inner light" of the stronger red and blue, which I think worked well in the case of the blue. In the back of my mind I had John Piper, whose image of churches I like and usually have a fair amount of black or close to it. Here is an example:
One Response to "Village church"
this is very "new age", abstract like I feel. I love the way you experiment with different styles, to express different styles; I also feel drawn to admire/ photograph scenes in everyday life that catch my eye, colour-wise. It's amazing how light, and different types of light – especially natural sunlight at different times of the day, year, or even under different weather conditions can really create exciting effects. The beauty of nature and in our environment:-)

Rescuing Nature, then trashing her again
When Toronto was renovating its waterfront a few years ago, someone got the idea that a small wetland might be created at the foot of Spadina Avenue. Apparently large pike from Lake Ontario were known to be congregating there every spring, looking for a place where they used to spawn. To the city's credit, this … Continue reading Rescuing Nature, then trashing her again
Paranormal World
Sigmund Freud once said that if he could live his life again, he would devote it to research into paranormal phenomena.

She spoke up, declared that insects were animals, … Continue reading Animals vs Insects |Insects are Animals
Telepathy and Dreams
According to those who have seriously studied paranormal phenomena, telepathy lies at the core of them. Clairvoyance (now often called remote-viewing), precognition, apparitions, 'visits from the dead', etc, all seem to have telepathy underlying them. Though disbelievers still like to claim that there is no evidence for telepathy, there is a mountain of evidence for … Continue reading Telepathy and Dreams

I like that song
Never actually heard that before. It's a great video, plenty going on. Quite artistic..
When I heard the name 'Hera' I was thinking of 'Zeus's' misses
Thanks for sharing that Simon, She sounds great. I'm not sure about the facial tats, though. In one way they are beautiful, but, in others, it tends to detract from a beautiful face. It made me wonder if it's just my aversion to tats, showing. She can sing for me again.
A most enjoyable voice, I just wonder if she will still enjoy the decorations when she is 60 and has grand children.
Have you only just discovered Portishead TC? I don't know, you youngsters. They've just released their third album having released their first, Dummy, in the early 90s.
Way to go, it's post count boost time.
Sorry TC, I was assuming from your previous comment:
FINALLY something out of Iceland I can look at AND listen to.
So Nimuae, you don't accept other people's customs and traditions?
In western society, it is often viewed as cheap and tarty, but, in her culture, it is seen as marks of distinction. Just because she looks like us doesn't mean that she is one of us. Our prejudices can be challenged by someone like her. I've already said that it does not appeal to me, but, I also said that it has challenged my own prejudices.
I am not being disrespectful SDR, I am expressing a personal opinion, and, in my personal opinion, tattoos on men look unattractive, on women they
look cheap and tarty.
In this girl's own culture/tradition this kind of thing may be acceptable, I don't know enough to say one way or the other.
To me, it diminishes rather than enhances the girl's own natural beauty, and, as someone else asked, what on earth will it look like when she is older?
I hate tattoos too, YUK !!
Nobody is injecting ink into my skin

"Mom, is it a hurricane?" Sue asked, staring out the window.
"No, just a bad summer storm," replied Mom, as she folded the last of the dinner napkins.
"Feels like a hurricane," Diane added, looking up from the book she was reading in her favorite wicker chair.
I had read about Florida hurricanes. They can make a real mess. With winds over a hundred miles an hour, they can break windows, uproot trees, topple signs, even lift the roofs off houses.
According to the World Book Encyclopedia, which I found on the bookshelf in the front room, the last big hurricane to come through Florida was in 1960. Hurricane Donna swept across the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa, cut a path of destruction through Cuba and the Bahamas, and landed in the Florida Keys with winds over 140 miles an hour. It moved slowly, crisscrossing the state with high winds and torrential rains, until it headed out to sea around Daytona Beach.
But that wasn't the last of it. Donna stayed active as a hurricane for over two weeks, inching its way up the East Coast until it sputtered out around Long Island.
I had never been through a hurricane, just read about them. But I wondered what it would be like. The howling winds of this summer storm must be nothing compared to the raw force of a hurricane. As I thought about this, someone started banging on the front door.
"Hurry, let's go," Tim said, as I opened the door.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Boat…capsized…people…drowning!" Tim sputtered.
Upon hearing this, Diane and Sue jumped up and ran to the door, too.
"What? A boat capsized?" Sue asked.
"Yeah, a small charter boat," replied Tim, catching his breath.
"Mom, can we go see it?" Diane asked.
"I don't know," Mom replied, not sure it was a good idea.
"Please," Sue begged.
"Well, okay, but just for a little while."
We grabbed our jackets and headed out the door, running to catch up to Tim who had already taken off for the beach.
The sea looked like the inside of a giant washing machine, with waves churning in all directions. Spray stung our face. Seagulls struggled above us, whiplashed by strong currents of air. A dozen or more people stood around on the beach, several pointing toward the churning waves.
"Look, there!" Sue shouted over a gust of wind.
We squinted and saw the hull of a boat bobbing up and down in the surf just beyond the breakers. A Coast Guard Cutter patrolled the waters farther out, looking for a way to get closer.
We ran down the beach toward a crowd of people milling around the water's edge. As we approached we could see a couple of people wading into the water. What we didn't see, until we got closer, was the person lying face down on the beach in front of the crowd of onlookers.
It was a man. His skin was gray. His hair matted. He wore a pair of pants, but no shirt. As we stared at him, the people in the water struggled back onto shore carrying something heavy and lifeless. It was a woman. Her dress was torn at the shoulder. A cloth shoe clung to one foot. Strands of seaweed knotted her hair. The three men carrying her laid her body on the sand next to the man. She didn't move.
Diane winced, and walked away.
So did Sue.
Tim and I stayed until two fire trucks and an ambulance arrived. We watched the medics check the bodies for a pulse, but you could tell from their bluish-gray skin that the couple was dead.
After the medics loaded them onto a gurney and carted them to the waiting ambulance, we turned and headed up the beach. We hadn't gone more than a hundred yards when we heard someone calling after us.
"Tim," a voice called, floating above the wind. "Tim!"
I looked around and saw a girl approaching. She was wearing a loose fitting dress, topped by a worn leather jacket. A ponytail of thick, blond hair danced in the wind.
"Hi, Tim," she said, stopping in front of us.
"Hi, Mae Beth," Tim replied.
"What's up?" she asked.
"A boat capsized, two people washed up on shore, but the medics took them away already."
"Hey, are you going surfing?" she asked, unfazed by Tim's report.
"I don't know. It's really rough today."
"Ah-hmm, excuse me," I interrupted.
"Oh, yeah, Mae Beth, this is my friend Billy."
"Hi," I said, noting that Tim had referred to me as his friend.
"Hi," Mae Beth replied, then quickly turned back to Tim.
"Want to come to the surf shop and hang out this afternoon?"
"Actually, I have to help my dad this afternoon."
"Well, maybe another day," Mae Beth said, then turned and walked away.
"Who was that?" I asked when she was out of earshot.
"Mae Beth? Oh, she's the daughter of the local surf shop owner."
"She likes you," I said.
"What? Well, actually, you're right."
"And you? Do you like her?"
"Sure, why not?" Tim replied. Then added, "Hey, I really do have to help my dad this afternoon. See you later?"
"Yeah, see you later," I replied, watching him hurry away.
All of a sudden I had a pang of hunger, so I turned and headed to Buddy's Burger Shack, which was just as it was advertised—a hamburger joint shaped like a giant hamburger. The drive-in area was almost empty, just a couple of cars pulled up under the canopy, and a boy standing outside the front door talking to a girl.
Girl! I thought, looking closer. That's no girl. That's my sister!
Diane was standing by the entrance of Buddy's Burger Shack talking to a boy who had his arm around her waist.
"Ah, hello," I said, clearing my throat as I approached.
"Oh, hello," Diane replied, surprised by my sudden appearance.
The boy straightened up, taking his arm from her waist.
As I looked closer, my head started to spin. The boy with his arm around my sister's waist was…Shark Man!
I just stood and stared at him.
"Who's this?" the boy asked.
"Oh, just my little brother," Diane replied.
"Did you reel in two sharks at the pier the other day?" I asked, ignoring my sister's remark.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Weren't you scared?"
"Scared? Nothing to be scared about."
"Nothing to be scared about! What about the sharks you reeled in?"
"What about them?"
"You were swimming with them!"
"Yeah, I know, but if you know the ocean,…I mean, really know it, know the tides and currents, you'll know everything you need to know."
I stood dumbfounded, trying to grasp what Shark Man had said, as if he had just revealed some great universal truth.
"Hey, I've got to get back to work," the boy said suddenly, glancing at his watch. He gave Diane a little nudge, turned, and headed back into Buddy's Burger Shack.
"What are you doing here?" Diane asked, her face flushed.
"I wanted to get something to eat before heading home," I replied. "What are you doing here? With Shark Man?"
"Shark Man?" Diane answered. "You mean Jesse."
"Is that his name?"
"Well, it certainly isn't Shark Man."
Maybe not, I thought, but it appeared he was pretty good at catching things.

Have you tried to research the history of a relative and have found that the information you desperately need or would love to know just isn't available? Do you want your descendants in 100 years' time to have the same difficulties?
If so, a history of your life will be a source of information for future generations. Perhaps a memoir is something you've long thought of doing but don't have the knowledge, skills or time to tackle.
Alan Jacobs can produce this future heirloom for you, with your co-operation. As a Professional Celebrant skilled in interviewing, writing and public speaking, he has been working with peoples' life histories for many years.
He will give you a beautifully designed quality booklet and / or a PDF file as a memento for you and your family to give future generations access to your family information in the years to come. All that is required is your willingness and that of your family members and associates to give Alan the information and he will do the rest. The cost may be lower than you think, and your investment will be a thoughtful contribution to your family's ongoing story.
Or why not offer it as a gift and maybe have Alan perform a ceremony as a special extra to present it to them?
Talk to Alan and get started on this special task.

Delegate that thing!
I am not a leadership guru like this brother is, but there are a few things I do know about leadership – delegation is one of those things.
In a church plant, to be honest, it really isn't that tough to delegate (in my experience anyway). The reason being? The people who are joining this new start are coming in knowing that there is at least a little bit of work to be done in "getting this thing off the ground," and they're all looking at me saying, "Dude, put me to work."
Its been fun to mind-map the various tasks on paper and prioritize them then literally look around the room and delegate things like "find a facility," "get a website up" and "organize music."
The beauty of it this far has been that as things come up that we need to get done, either its provided for us or someone in our group is able to take care of it. A friend of mine said to me this morning during our prayer time that "God is at work in the background even before we get there." So true.
Why is it important for a pastor to delegate? Two reasons: (1) the pastor needs to have a dedicated amount of time to spend in prayer and studying the Word (Acts 6:1-7), and (2) having others take up some of the tasks of ministry together benefits them and the whole church as well as they use their gifts to serve the body (Ephesians 4:11-16).
Prayer Points
Praise: + We've got a rental contract, we're almost registered as a charity & Jesus is on the throne.
Prayer: + We need wisdom in the decisions we make in the next few weeks and months as we attempt to maintain this momentum. + We need more donors to support our work financially (individuals, groups & churches).
