This chapter introduces you to 403(b) plans and accounts. Specifically, the chapter answers the following questions.
What is a 403(b) plan?
What are the benefits of contributing to a 403(b) plan?
Who can participate in a 403(b) plan?
Who can set up a 403(b) account?
How can contributions be made to my 403(b) account?
Do I report contributions on my tax return?
How much can be contributed to my 403(b) account?
A 403(b) plan, also known as a tax-sheltered annuity (TSA) plan, is a retirement plan for certain employees of public schools, employees of certain tax-exempt organizations, and certain ministers.
Individual accounts in a 403(b) plan can be any of the following types.
An annuity contract, which is a contract provided through an insurance company,
A custodial account, which is an account invested in mutual funds, or
A retirement income account set up for church employees. Generally, retirement income accounts can invest in either annuities or mutual funds.
We use the term "403(b) account" to refer to any one of these funding arrangements throughout this publication, unless otherwise specified.
There are three benefits to contributing to a 403(b) plan.
The first benefit is that you do not pay income tax on allowable contributions until you begin making withdrawals from the plan, usually after you retire. Allowable contributions to a 403(b) plan are either excluded or deducted from your income. However, if your contributions are made to a Roth contribution program, this benefit does not apply. Instead, you pay income tax on the contributions to the plan but distributions from the plan (if certain requirements are met) are tax free.
Note. Generally, employees must pay social security and Medicare tax on their contributions to a 403(b) plan, including those made under a salary reduction agreement. See chapter 4, Limit on Elective Deferrals , for more information.
The second benefit is that earnings and gains on amounts in your 403(b) account are not taxed until you withdraw them. Earnings and gains on amounts in a Roth contribution program are not taxed if your withdrawals are qualified distributions. Otherwise, they are taxed when you withdraw them.
The third benefit is that you may be eligible to take a credit for elective deferrals contributed to your 403(b) account. See chapter 10, Retirement Savings Contributions Credit (Saver's Credit) .
Any eligible employee can participate in a 403(b) plan.
Employees of tax-exempt organizations established under section 501(c)(3). These organizations are usually referred to as section 501(c)(3) organizations or simply 501(c)(3) organizations.
Employees of public school systems who are involved in the day-to-day operations of a school.
Employees of cooperative hospital service organizations.
Civilian faculty and staff of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.
Employees of public school systems organized by Indian tribal governments.
Certain ministers (explained next).
Ministers employed by section 501(c)(3) organizations.
Self-employed ministers. A self-employed minister is treated as employed by a tax-exempt organization that is a qualified employer.
Ministers (chaplains) who meet both of the following requirements.
They are employed by organizations that are not section 501(c)(3) organizations.
They function as ministers in their day-to-day professional responsibilities with their employers.
You cannot set up your own 403(b) account. Only employers can set up 403(b) accounts. A self-employed minister cannot set up a 403(b) account for his or her benefit. If you are a self-employed minister, only the organization (denomination) with which you are associated can set up an account for your benefit.
Generally, only your employer can make contributions to your 403(b) account. However, some plans will allow you to make after-tax contributions (defined below).
The following types of contributions can be made to 403(b) accounts.
Elective deferrals . These are contributions made under a salary reduction agreement. This agreement allows your employer to withhold money from your paycheck to be contributed directly into a 403(b) account for your benefit. Except for Roth contributions, you do not pay income tax on these contributions until you withdraw them from the account. If your contributions are Roth contributions, you pay taxes on your contributions but any qualified distributions from your Roth account are tax free.
Nonelective contributions . These are employer contributions that are not made under a salary reduction agreement. Nonelective contributions include matching contributions, discretionary contributions, and mandatory contributions from your employer. You do not pay income tax on these contributions until you withdraw them from the account.
After-tax contributions . These are contributions (that are not Roth contributions) you make with funds that you must include in income on your tax return. A salary payment on which income tax has been withheld is a source of these contributions. If your plan allows you to make after-tax contributions, they are not excluded from income and you cannot deduct them on your tax return.
A combination of any of the three contribution types listed above.
Generally, you do not report contributions to your 403(b) account (except Roth contributions) on your tax return. Your employer will report contributions on your 2014 Form W-2. Elective deferrals will be shown in box 12 and the Retirement plan box will be checked in box 13. If you are a self-employed minister or chaplain, see the discussions next.
There are limits on the amount of contributions that can be made to your 403(b) account each year. If contributions made to your 403(b) account are more than these contribution limits, penalties may apply.
Chapters 2 through 6 provide information on how to determine the amount that can be contributed to your 403(b) account.
Worksheets are provided in chapter 9 to help you determine the maximum amount that can be contributed to your 403(b) account each year. Chapter 7, Excess Contributions , describes how to prevent excess contributions and how to get an excess contribution corrected.

Why can't I vote on suggestions inside the votebox?
Dear Todoist support team,
do I need to create a support ticket first before being able to click on the voting button? Or is it an issue with the browser I'm using (Chrome Version 31.0.1650.57 + iOSX 10.9)?
Cheers, Gaëlle
All responses
ok now that I created a ticket here I can vote! Yaaay :)
It would be nice to write a line in the votebox saying that we need first to create a ticket in the support forum to be able to vote. :)
Hello Gaëlle,
You don't have to post here in order to vote in the Votebox, but you have to be logged in with your Todoist account. As you've posted now, you also logged in and that's what enabled voting :)
Best regards,
Hello David, thanks for your reply. I thought I was logged in but maybe I wasn't after all.
Best wishes, Gaëlle

Hi Kalyn,ReplyDelete
For those of us lucky enough to have a Trader Joe's where we live, they make a lite coconut milk. Can't imagine life without it!
Your soup looks great! I often order this kind of soup when I go to a Thai restaurant. Thanks for the recipe!
I love using coconut milk,my dh is lactose intolerant and I make coconut ice cream with ot.So good!ReplyDelete
- MarissaFebruary 7, 2007 at 4:09 PM
Where do you purchase lemongrass in Salt Lake?ReplyDelete
Kaylyn, I just discovered your blog and it all looks wonderful.
Thank you.
Kalyn, I love coconut milk, too! Sweet or savoury, it is just great!!!ReplyDelete
I might have seen this brand in Walmart before. Need to check again :)ReplyDelete
Toni n., you are so lucky to live by Trader Joe's. I go there whenever I visit my brother.ReplyDelete
Mommy Chef, great idea.
Marissa, I used to buy lemongrass at Smiths on 2100 South. Then when I was in St. Louis I bought some already sliced in a jar. I've been using that for a while now, and it's really good in something like this soup/ I think you can still get it at Smiths, but I'm not positive.
W_P, isn't coconut milk just fantastic.
Simcooks, I think you can get it lots of places.
I've just used up my Trader Joes light coconut milk! You have an informative blog.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ReplyDelete
Another one of those great product I'm hoping will make it's way to our shores here! Thai Kitchen products are widely available and since the Swiss seem to be really going for healthy alternatives int he supermarkets in a big way fingers crossed this will be picked up!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this info!
- AnonymousFebruary 8, 2007 at 4:51 PM
Kaylyn, have you seen this Thai cooking website with videosReplyDelete
Hi Kalyn, I've never seen this lite coconut milk, would be good to have it since I cook curries a lot, and the only ones I usually use are Mae Ploy or Arroy D. By the way, is it runny, and is this suitable for baking as well ?ReplyDelete
Melting Wok, I am pretty sure you can use the "lite" version in any recipe that calls for coconut milk. It's runny in the same way that regular coconut milk is.ReplyDelete
woohoo!!! I was JUST wondering if there was such a thing as Lite Coconut milk after a red curry thai lunch today..yum, Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love coconut milk (though I'm currently allergic to it) and have so many blog recipes featuring it! Glad to hear that is South Beach Diet friendly! Yay.ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!
And if you really like the recipe, Pins, Shares, Tweets, and Yums are always appreciated!

This is WONDERFUL! I have used it for only about one week on my feet and the thick psoriasis scales are gone and my feet are soft and smooth for the first time ever and they don't itch. I used to heavily coat my feet at night with salicylic acid petroleum jelly ointment and never got the great results I got with Kerasal ointment and Kerasal absorbs almost completely. I am no going to try using this on my psoriasis plaques on loegs and arms. My feet would get very thick skin that would crack and bleed.

Student Complaint & Grievance Procedures
LASC and LACCD Student Grievance and Complaint Procedures are established so that students can resolve difficulties/problems they encounter in college-related activities. Student complaints are taken seriously.
Most complaints, grievances, or disciplinary matters should be resolved at the campus level. This is the quickest and most successful way of resolving issues involving a California Community College (CCC). You are encouraged to work through the LASC complaint process first, before escalating issues to any non-LASC resources.
See below for instructions on how to proceed with complaints in various areas.
CLICK HERE to view the Summary of the LACCD Prohibited Discrimination & Harassment Policy and Complaint Procedures
To Initiate a Complaint About the LACCD Equal Opportunity Policy
Summary of Equal Opportunity Policy
LASC and the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) are committed to the philosophy of equal opportunity/equal access in all its employment, educational programs, and services. Thus, we are firmly committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of actual or perceived ethnic group identification, race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, creed, sex (including gender-based sexual harassment), pregnancy, cancer-related medical condition of an employee, marital status, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, or veteran status in our employment and educational programs and activities.
Equal Opportunity Policy Compliance Procedure
In order to ensure compliance with the Equal Opportunity Policy at Los Angeles Southwest College, please direct inquiries to Dr. Lawrence Bradford, Vice President, Academic Affairs, 323-241-5280, or to Celeste Phelps, Coordinator, Disabled Students Programs and Services, at (323) 241-5480. In addition, inquiries may be directed to the District Office of Diversity Programs at (213) 891-2315.
To Initiate a Complaint About Sexual Harassment
Summary of Sexual Harassment Policy
The policy of the Los Angeles Community College District is to provide an educational, employment, and business environment free of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communication constituting sexual harassment. Employees, students, or other persons acting on behalf of the district who engage in sexual harassment as defined in the policy or by state or federal law shall be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge, expulsions, or termination of contract.
Sexual Harassment Complaint Procedure
In order to ensure compliance with the Sexual Harassment Policy at Los Angeles Southwest College, please direct inquiries to Dr. Lawrence Bradford, Vice President, Academic Affairs, 323-241-5280. In addition, inquiries may be directed to the District Office of Diversity Programs at (213) 891-2315.
The specific rules and procedures for reporting charges of sexual harassment and for pursuing available remedies are incorporated in the Board Rules in Chapter 15. The Los Angeles Community College District has a policy which provides formal and informal procedures for resolving complaints. Copies of the policy and procedures may be obtained by calling the District Office of Diversity Programs at (213) 891-2315.
All members of the college community, which includes student, faculty, and staff, who believe they have experienced conduct that may constitute sexual harassment, have the right to seek help from the college. Every employee has the responsibility to report such conduct to the LASC Compliance Officer when it is directed toward students. Potential complainants are advised that administrative and civil law remedies, including but not limited to injunctions, restraining orders, or other orders, may be made available.
To Initiate a Complaint About a Grade
Summary of Policy for Grievances Pertaining to Grades
Grievances pertaining to grades are subject to the California Education Code Section 76224 (a) which states: "When grades are given for any course of instruction taught in a community college district, the grade given to each student shall be the grade determined by the instructor of the course and the determination of the student's grade by the instructor, in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, shall be final."
The grievance procedure does not apply to the challenge process for prerequisites, corequisites, advisories, and limitation on enrollment; actions dealing with student discipline; appeal of residency decisions; or eligibility, disqualification, or reinstatement of financial aid. The appeal procedure for eligibility, disqualification, or reinstatement of financial aid may be obtained in the Financial Aid Office.
Complaints involving discrimination such as sexual harassment, ethnic group discrimination, religion, age, gender, color, sexual orientation, and physical or mental disability discrimination are covered under different procedures. Please see the College Catalog sections on Sexual Harassment and/or Equal Opportunity Policy or contact the District Office of Diversity Programs at (213) 891-2315.
Student Process for Filing Complaints Regarding Grades
Step 1: Consult the Instructor for resolution.
Step 2: Confer with the Department Chair as second level of authority if issue is not resolved.
Step 3: Make an appointment with the Dean of the relevant academic department if there is no resolution at Levels 1 or 2
Step 4: The Dean of the relevant academic department may refer the student to the Dean of Student Services or to the Executive Vice President if there is no resolution at Level 3.
Step 5: Further referral may be to the LASC Compliance Officer.
For assistance and information regarding the Student Grievance Procedure, contact Dr. Lawrence Bradford, Vice President, Academic Affairs, 323-241-5280.
To Initiate a Complaint About Academic Disability Accommodations
Every effort will be made to resolve the matter through the informal process. The student should schedule a meeting with the person(s) involved in the dispute, as well as the person's immediate supervisor, the corresponding Dean of Academic Affairs/Student Services, and a Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS) professional.
In situations when an agreement cannot be reached informally, the student may file a written request for a formal hearing with the LASC Compliance Officer/Dean of Student Services. An Academic Accommodations Review Committee will be selected to review the grievance. The panel will include two faculty members, two administrative members, and the DSPS Coordinator or designee (non-voting). If the student is dissatisfied with the Academic Accommodations Panel's decision, he/she may appeal to the College President.
The student may also file a formal discrimination complaint with the LASC Compliance Officer who will then follow the established steps outlined Chapter XV of the LACCD Board Rules. The LASC Compliance Officer can be reached at (323) 241-5328 or at the Dean of Student Services Office at Los Angeles Southwest College, 1600 West Imperial Highway, Los Angeles, CA 90047.
The student still has the right of external appeal to the Office of Civil Rights under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Contact information: V: 1-800-421-3481 TTY: 1-877-521-2172. The US Department of Education Office for Civil Rights offers guidance on how to file a discrimination complaint with the Office for Civil Rights.
To Submit a Complaint About an Issue Not Resolved at the Campus Level
In accordance with federal regulations, the California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) administers a state-level complaint process. This is so students and others have a method and process outside of the institution that takes, investigates, and responds to complaints regarding the institution.
Visit the California Community College Chancellor's Office Complaint Process web-page and follow the instructions there to present a complaint to:
- The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) if your complaint is associated with the institution's compliance with academic program quality and accrediting standards. (ACCJC is the agency that accredits the academic programs of the California Community Colleges.)
- To the CCC Chancellor's Office Complaints Form if your complaint does not concern CCC's compliance with academic program quality and accrediting standards.
- To the CCC Chancellor's Office Legal Affairs website if your complaint involves unlawful discrimination.

Challenges and Opportunities for Latinos in Rural America
Hispanics are the most rapidly growing group in rural America and are disproportionately affected by downturns in the economy. In a session led by Congressman Ciro Rodriguez (TX-23), representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and regional community organizations convened on Monday to discuss possible approaches to easing the both the long and short- term difficulties that such as economy has brought about in rural America.
Although the panel touched upon a variety issues, including regional food sharing programs and increasing broadband access, the majority of the discussion focused on Latino small business and educational opportunities. According to Judith Canales, Administrator for Business and Cooperative Programs in the USDA, Latinos have a great potential in making an impact on Corporate America, citing that Hispanics own over 1.6 million businesses and are developing them at three times the rate of the national average. To assist and sustain this growth, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has devoted $1.7 billion towards business programs that could help fund repairs, machinery, supplies, and equipment modernization for many in rural America.
The investments in small businesses may help Latinos in rural areas, but Leodoro Martinez, Executive Director of the Middle Rio Grande Development Council, believes that education is the key for self-sustaining, rural communities. Like the rest of the panel, which also included Tammye Treviño, Administrator for the Rural Housing Service, Housing and Community Facilities Programs National Office in the USDA, Martinez cited out-migration, or "brain-drain," as a major phenomenon that drives away educated talent from rural America. Martinez also claimed that students in the Rio Grande Valley were inadequately prepared in math and science, low-levels of creative thinking abilities, and lacked good study habits. He provided the staggering statistic that 56 percent of people in the region under 25 years old did not have a high school education.
Hispanics are an integral part of rural America, comprising a large percentage of the population and labor force, but to be self-sustaining, Latino businesses must make the most of the ARRA and address educational problems both in school and at home.

Based in Costa Rica, Roberto Salom-Pérez is Panthera's Mesoamerica Jaguar Program Coordinator. In this position, Roberto's work has focused on identifying areas with the most vulnerable jaguar populations and building relationships with local communities to ensure the protection of jaguars and their required corridors. His work also involves determining the size of jaguar populations in unstudied regions of Mesoamerica and assisting in the development of jaguar conservation initiatives in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.
Growing up in San Jose, Costa Rica, Roberto developed a fascination for the Americas' largest cat and began his study of the jaguar and other wildlife while attending the University of Costa Rica. During this time he was employed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) to carry out the country's first jaguar census by installing camera traps in Corcovado National Park. Roberto went on to receive his Master's degree at the University of Costa Rica.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
An intensely flavored apple chutney for fall.
A small batch of autumnal chutney sweetened with just dates and dried currants.
With no refined sugar or corn syrup, this thick, rich, nicely spiced date sweetened tomato ketchup tastes even better than the stuff from the bottle. It's also very easy and quick to make, in about 30 minutes, using whole peeled canned tomatoes.
This is my version of the classic combination of apples, dates and walnuts in a lipsmacking chutney. Delicious with a strong cheddar cheese or straight from the jar!
I posted this awhile ago, but it's been a constant in my fridge ever since. It's a really good condiment to put on your lists for this Summer's preserving!
Another soon-to-be-favorite, date chutney is sweet and just a little spicy. And, it's going to be good on everything.
This sweet and savory condiment is perfect with Indian curries, a cheese platter, or just a spoon!

Upgrade NBU 6.5.6 to 7.5, media server(UNIX) with specific role of SAP backup and Data domain.
Firstly, Wish you all a blissful new year 2013 :)
I'm desperately in need to have a procedure document (Case study or Best practise) or guidance to upgrade our media server (UNIX) from NBU 6.5.6 to 7.5.
Software : Netbackup 6.5.6 and DD BOOST NetBackup Accelerator and Management Integration (NBU 6.5.6)
H/W specs:
Oracle SPARC Enterprise M5000, Four 2 x 2.53 GHz SPARC64 VII Quad-Core Processors, 3 x StorageTek 8 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe
Media server also has additional functions:
• SAP Backup via BRTOOLS – Production Hosts
• SnapView Snapshot\Clone – Production Hosts and Array Manager UI
• Mount Snapshot\Clone – NetBackup Media Server
• Backup to Disk – NetBackup Master\Media Server
• Unmount and Housekeep – NetBackup Media Server
EMC datadomain specs:
EMC Data Doman DD880 Configured as a CIFS\NFS based storage pool with 52TB usable SATA for de-dup backup data, 2 Dual port optical Ethernet NICS, DD BOOST NetBackup Accelerator, Management Integration DD Replicator &
If anyone has worked on such a enviroment can share their procedure document or can guide me to understand the upgrade process it will be very helpful to me :)
I've tried SORT but couldn't make a head or tail out of it, for my current setup and additional function of Media server, since this project has been thrown in from no where and EOL for 6.x already done I'm left with no assistance apart from my trusted Symantec forum.
I'll await for the helping hands here :) Cheers !

Netbackup 6.5.6 and DD BOOST NetBackup Accelerator
Really?? Accelerator is a new feature that was introduced with NBU 7.5.
DD is still not supporting Accelerator - please see HW compatibility guide.
All relevant compatibility guides - OS, HW, database agent and snapshot client can be obtained here:
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows
Handy NBU Links
Anything that involves snapshots are by nature complicated. You should involve Symantec consulting on such a task (and you have a really good case for management if this system has been thrown from nowhere as you state). There is a change that something you used in 6.5 won't be supported in 7.x.
If this snap solution is custom, you really need to built a test lab to ensure the snap backup works after the upgrade.
Pls note if you use BOOST for the Data Domain you need to upgrade the plugin when upgrading Netbackup to 7.x.
Assumption is the mother of all mess ups.
If this post answered your'e qustion - Please mark as a soloution.
My bad couldn't get back on this, Thanks for your inputs and advise :)
I've got more details on the activity related to the Unix media server upgrades.
1) Setup seems to be on SOLARIS zones, with Media server installaed on GLOBAL zone and the SAP application hosted on the local zones.
2) The media server has a mirror disk which can be used as a PLAN B to UP the server in case of any issues with upgrade, UNIX team to break mirror prior to upgrade.
Would anyone be able to help me on how ot proceed with NBU installation since ZONES is a newbie for me.
P.S: I'm told that the OST plugins are already update and I'm only asked to work on NBU upgrade.
Adding to it, I was asked to watch out for any issues with Unix security wrappers during upgrade, if someone can guide me on the process of upgrade with above points considered, I'll go through the same and understand it before further process,
any inputs will be much appreciated ...Cheers !
If it takes me to call in any of you experts with in your valuable time, I'll be more than happy to :)
Thanks again !
I've gone through one of the posts where Marianne posted a technote link
would you be able to provide which part of this will be suitable for my requirement, pardon my ignorance of being naive about this upgrade, But I'm a quick learner :)
WOW! Today's posts are quite different from your original post!
Please see this TN for local zone installation instructions: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH65627

If the script can't write to or mkdir in /temp/backup, you can't use it as NB_TMPDIR :)
But I'm able to mkdir on that file system... rather I've issued this export command during the SYMCnetbp package installation which seem to have started off fine and errored onnly at PBX installation !
attached is my putty log during the activity.
All your log shows me is that you were able to perform the mkdir in /temp/netbackup_software/NBU7.5/Server_Soft - but the script output clearly shows we're conking out on /temp/backup.
Your df output shows that /temp and /temp/backup are different file systems. Check their permissions - maybe throw us the output of a mount command - I would wager you that they don't match.
Thanks for your valuable comments Chris, currently the upgrade is on hold due to some patching issues on hte media server and my access is revoked as of now, until next attempt of upgrade. I'll kee this in mind for next attempt :D and post my updates as soon as the upgrade activity is back in process.
Thanks all ! :)

Who are the Lions?
How many Lions are there?
So what do all these people in all these clubs actually do?
If I donate to the Lions, where does the money go?
Is there a Lions Club in my area?
When I think of Lions, I think of eyeglasses. What's that all about?
How old are Lions Club members?
How do I join a Lions Club?
If I, or someone I know in my community needs help, how do I contact the Lions Club?
Why is the sky blue?
Lions are members of your community, just like you. Everyone has the potential to help others, and Lionism is a way for people to get together for the benefit of their fellows.
Lions Clubs International has over 1,300,000 members in 46,260 clubs, in 193 countries worldwide. Lions International is the largest service organization in the world. Individual clubs vary in size from a handful of motivated individuals up.
Lions do many things to serve their communities and the world. A few examples include:
100% of all donations go to help needy families and support charitable organizations.
Lions Clubs are required to maintain two completely separate accounts for their money. Club dues are kept in the administrative account, and club expenses can be paid only from this money. All donations go into the charitable funds account. These funds are NEVER used for administrative purposes. By doing this, Lions Clubs can guarantee that all monies donated actually go to the causes for which they were intended.
To find a Lions Club in your area, please check here.
In 1922, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become the "Knights of Sight", so Lions clubs are very active in providing eye exams and eye glasses around the world. The used eyeglasses collection boxes you may remember seeing are a big part of that. We accept donations of used eyeglasses to give to people who cannot afford new ones. Due to United States regulations, the glasses you donate are not able to be used within our borders. But the Lions are an international organization. We send the used glasses to countries where there are no optics labs, and distibute them there. The recipients have no alternative because new eyeglasses are not available to them. For many people who receive these eyeglasses, it is the first time they have ever seen clearly; some have even commented that it was the first time they had ever seen their own child's face. This truly is the Gift of Sight!
While Lions promote sight, and are perhaps the most known for that cause, we also support many other worthy causes.
Unfortunately, when people think of Lions Clubs, they think of a bunch of stuffy old guys. This is not the case. Lions clubs members range in age from 18 years old and up. There is also a Lions program in schools called the Leo Club. Lions clubs also boast a substantial female membership.
Joing the Lions Club is a commitment that begins with an invitation. Before you can join, you need to have an existing member sponsor you. If you already know a Lions Club member, this is the person to talk to. They will get you in touch with their club's Membership Chairperson, and give you the details you need to join. Even if your friend is a member in a club outside of your area, he or she can still sponsor you, and you can still join a club closer to you. If you do not know a member, please contact your local club for more information. While membership is by inviatation only, if someone expresses a desire to help, it is not policy to turn them away.
You can search for a club in your area by going to The Lions Club International web page.
If you are in West Deptford, NJ, USA, please contact us via e-mail.
Well, we can't actually answer this one for you. But if the blue sky is blurry and you need some help to see it clearly, then contact us, and maybe we can help. Remember, "We Serve".Back to main page.

Trying to keep a sense of humor while you are running on little to no sleep is hard to do. I remember those 2 and 4 and 6 am feedings all to well! But if you looked down (even if it is with one eye half open) and saw "Would you like Whine with that" or "Attention Junkie" I know you would have to crack a smile. And that is exactly what the people at Clever Rabbit Clothing had in mind when they created their witty products.
"At Clever Rabbit Clothing, we appreciate the joy, stress and cost that comes with being the parent of an infant. Based on that premise, we designed our humorous baby line with two people in mind; the ultra hip little ones and their intellectual, yet fashionable parents."
At Clever Rabbit Clothing you can find onesies, tees, thermals and bibs with a sense of humor. They even offer organic clothing too. All of their products are made from the highest quality fabrics and inks. And they are made right here in the USA in sweatshop free environments.
Princess P was the lucky recipient of the Socialite Tee from Clever Rabbit Clothing. This tee is too cute. There is just something about her in "pearls" that makes me crack a smile. This lap tee is easy to slip over her head and is super soft.
If you are looking for baby clothing with a sense of humor and style Clever Rabbit Clothing is the place to look!
A big thank you to Extraordinary Mothers for this review!

3/22/13 Update: I've worked thru almost 2 bottles from Trader Joe's over the past year. My summary:
1. Finished the 1st bottle as a makeup remover, yes it does the job with some firm rubbing and rolling before hopping in for the evening shower to be followed up w/ cleanser. I wouldn't say it's pore clogging, but it certainly didn't help my skin in anyway so neutral on that front. That said, even with a double cleanse, there always was makeup found during my toning step.
2. My 2nd bottle has primarily been a great after shower moisturizer. I add fragrance oils (love etailer Cocoa Pink, popular on the Bath board here) and mix w/ jojoba oil to slather on after the shower. Sinks in. I just tried Sweet Almond Oil w/ VitE, and you def feel a difference (this did not sink in.. felt slick all night).
3. I would rebuy for a body oil mixed w/ my favorite scent, and only an emergency makeup remover. I've found Bioderma (pink cap) or the Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Cleanser is passing the makeup on toner pad test.
Review is solely as a makeup remover. Did not cause any breakouts unlike mineral and olive oil (YMMV). Requires a bit more work than Fancl mild cleansing oil, but you eventually get your makeup off. Will blur your vision if it gets into your eyes, and it will require a double cleanse w/ a regular face wash to remove the oil off your face (remember water and oil does not mix).
So if on a budget, I'd recommend this b/c the Trader Joe's bottle is ~$6 and Fancl is ~$30.

Jojoba oil is amazing. I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin that gets super dry from sulfur and tea tree oil and this is seriously the best thing ever. I usually don't use it straight (unless I'm crazy dry), but I mix with a rosewater spray. Been using jojoba oil for many years now and can't live without it! It is literally the only thing on the planet that I have stuck with for this long because it never lets me down.

I love this product, love jojoba oil in general, as does my skin. I use this on my hair, on my face whenever my skin feels like it needs a little pick-me-up. Five drops is all you need if applying it to your face, and it really helps to apply it to your skin when it's still damp. LOVE jojoba oil. I transfer it into a glass dropper bottle when I buy it so it's easy to dispense, and sometimes add a drop of lavender or peppermint to the bottle for a bit of aromatherapy. One drop rubbed into palms is also a great frizz/fly away reducer.

Why waste nearly $70 on BB face oil when you can get jojoba oil for like $7- $10. I get mine from my mom's esthetician because she buys the stuff by the gallon and sells it cheaper in glass pump bottles, but desert essence and trader joes are both great. I've always had dry skin and mild eczema until I started using this, and at this point have stopped buying body and face lotions, conditioners, and eye makeup remover. My nails are stronger, my hair is shinier, and I no longer get dry patches on my forehead during the winter. I know people who have gotten rid of their acne with it.
IMPORTANT: you really need to research how to use this stuff properly before you rub it all over yourself and then whine online about how it doesn't work, isn't your "HG", or (my favorite) made you entire body erupt into a disgusting oozy crop of cystic acne. I recommend that you consult Mr. Google. **A great start is Crunchy Betty's blog: it includes instructions as well as an explanation of how it works.
For dry skin: while this oil will not clog your pores, it works by sealing in moisture. This means it can also seal out moisture. So following that logic, if you put it on parched skin it will keep it parched... put it on while your face it's still damp after you've washed it or misted it. I like to keep my bottle in the shower and apply it all over my face and body just after I've patted myself mostly dry. If you're worried that you put too much on, let it "baste" for a minute and then tissue the rest off.
And don't forget to drink water throughout the day long for skin that's healthy below the surface!

Great product! It moisturizes very well and leaves my skin dewy. I do have to follow up with a couple blotting sheets about half hour after using this when I put sunscreen on following it, but I expected that. The dewy-ness comes after I blot post-sunscreen. No break outs. In fact, this has greatly improved the texture of my skin. Very versatile in the way I can use it as an eye makeup remover too :)

I love this product! I use it in my night routine after cleansing my face. I put a few drops on my hands, rub them together and pat it in my skin. By morning my face is really moisturized without being oily. It also worked great for my complexion, it evened out my skintone.
I also use this in my hair. Once a week I rub the oil on my scalp and the ends of my hair. I go to sleep like that and wash it out in the morning. My hair feels SO moisturized and looks healthy and shiny. When I'm in between wash days, I put a little on the ends of my hair, makes it look much better!
Definitely recommend this product if you're looking for a multipurpose product that is great quality for a reasonable price!

I am using a brand made from Trader Joe's, but not exactly this brand.
I don't think there is any better oil than jojoba for my acne- prone, flaky and oily skin. I use this at night to cleanse my face. I just wet my face with water, pour some jojoba oil on my hands and gently rub it around my face for around a minute, then rinse with water. I then apply it in conjunction with another oil I have and in the morning my skin is softer than anything I've ever felt. I literally wake up in the morning feeling the side of my face because it is so soft.
In the morning I put a tiny bit on my face to moisturize and it works throughout the day also.
For the hair I will leave it on overnight and wash it through twice in the morning to get all the oils out.
I use this on my brows, hair, body, lips, etc.. I really don't think there is anything I don't use it on. It is a freaking amazing oil that people should know more about!

I'm not using Desert Essence brand, but I don't think it really matters. I have dry reactive skin with mild rosacea. My skin is also very thin thanks to my scottish ancestry.
I've started using jojoba oil a year ago. I've read different natural theories and after experimenting I've came to the conclusion that with my skin type less is more. I rarely exfoliate, I do not put oil at night to let my skin breathe, I clean only at night with the oil cleansing method (Using sunflower and castor oil). In the morning I spray my face with cold rosewater mixed with a bit of glycerine, and then I put straight jojoba oil. My skin is really less dry, more glowy and less red.
Jojoba oil can also be mixed with your favorite oils if you are on a budget and it's still fabulous. I've started mixing one part of jojoba, one of avocado oil and one of sweet almond oil. It's even better and cheaper too! I know a lot of you don't like the bottle, what I do is put it in a dark glass bottle with a pomp.

This is a general review for 100% jojoba oil, not specifically this brand.
Oh WOW, is what I have to say. It's a perfect moisturizer for days when you're not going to wear any make-up: its what I wear at home when I know I'm going to be lounging around for most part of the day. I have combination skin that gets oily in the t-zone within just 3 hours. Just 2 drops of this, rub it into the your palms well and pat it into your face gently sweeping outwards. The best part is my whole face felt so comfortable all day, and didn't get excessively shiny - just a healthy dewy look!
DEFINITELY try this no matter what your skin type. If all fails, it still makes a perfect nighttime moisturizer for your skin or an excellent make-up remover. A few drops onto a cotton pad, let it sit on your face for a minute, press down gently on your skin and sweep outwards, and most of your make-up comes right off!

This product has been a miracle cure for my skin. I have tried everything for my adult acne. Proactiv, Clearskin, Avene, Aveeno, Prescription meds and nothing worked most of them made it worse. I do not review items as I would tend not to be impressed with most things. But Braggs apple cider vinegar & Jojoba Oil has changed my life, after 3 weeks my cystic acne has cleared. I cant stop looking at my skin. This has been a long road for me, I have had this acne for the last 4 years and have been to many dermatologists and also herbal healers. I have taken many supplements and vitamins to try and help my skin and while some herbal remedies made it slightly better i always continued to break out. Through much research i began a new all natural routine. If i have makeup on I use a Faith in nature seaweed soap to remove it, then do a small cleanse with light coloured organic honey, when i have more time i leave the honey on for as long as i can as a mask, your skin will feel so good afterwards. Then as a toner i use a mixture made from 50% Braggs Apple cider vinegar and 50% water. finally to moisturise I use 100% natural organic Jojoba oil. This Regime has worked wonders for my skin i have had no new breakouts and my scars are healing daily, i am delighted with the results and can't believe that dermatologists do not encourage more people to try natural products. I would encourage everyone with Acne problems to try this. If anybody needs any further details just contact me. Good luck!!!
4 months Later this is still working better than anything I have ever tried before!!!

CHICAGO — The attorney for Sam Hurd said Friday that his client had never sold drugs to other NFL players, hoping to put any rumors to rest as the wide receiver without a team prepares to fight federal drug charges that could put him in jail for 40 years.
Less than an hour after Hurd was cut by the Chicago Bears, defense attorney Brett Greenfield told reporters that his client planned to fight the charges and wanted one thing made clear.
"Sam has asked me to address one point, with respect to the rumors that Sam has been supplying drugs to other members of the NFL, out of respect to the NFL, out of respect to teammates and out of respect to other players, he 100 percent denies that allegation," Greenfield said. "It is patently and totally false. It just didn't happen."
League spokesman Brian McCarthy said the NFL was closely monitoring the situation. Asked about a report that authorities have a list of NFL players with ties to the drug case, McCarthy said: "We are not aware of such a list."
U.S. Magistrate Young Kim ordered Hurd to surrender his passport and any firearms. Hurd is expected to be tried in Texas, where the criminal complaint was filed this week by the U.S. attorney.
Hurd, who appeared in court in an orange jumpsuit with his feet shackled, waived his right to a preliminary hearing, meaning the next step is for prosecutors to take their case before a grand jury. Several members of Hurd's family, including his wife, mother and brother, attended the hearing but he didn't appear to look at them, even as he was led out of the room. He was later released after posting $100,000 bond.
Hurd was arrested Wednesday night outside a Chicago steakhouse, according to the complaint. He allegedly told an undercover agent he was interested in buying five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area.
Hurd told the agent a "co-conspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals" while he focused on "higher-end deals," the complaint said. He agreed to pay $25,000 for each kilogram of cocaine and $450 a pound for the marijuana, according to the charges, and then said he could pay for a kilo of cocaine — about 2.2 pounds — after "he gets out of practice." He walked out of the restaurant with the package and was arrested.
Hurd faces up to 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine if convicted of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, or half a kilogram.
Teammates said they were stunned by the allegations and general manager Jerry Angelo said he was, too, as he announced the team was cutting Hurd.
"There were no facts, there were no flags, that anybody could present tangibly to say we should have known otherwise, and I want to make that perfectly clear to the public, to our fans," Angelo said Friday. "We do our homework. We do our due diligence. We did everything you could possibly do given the information that we can allocate."
The 26-year-old Hurd was in his first year with the Bears and sixth year overall in the NFL after five years with the Cowboys. Angelo said the Bears performed an extensive background check on Hurd, a San Antonio native who played at Northern Illinois, before signing him in July to a three-year deal reportedly worth up to $5.15 million, including a $1.35 million signing bonus and base pay this season of $685,000.
"We go back, we ask questions," Angelo said. "Is there something we could have done, something we should have done, in the process? Sometimes, there are glitches, but in this case, there are none. I could sit here and tell you with total transparency that we did everything we know to do in terms of our research, and there was nothing that we found that would create a flag or an alert or a real concern in Sam Hurd's case."
Asked how certain he was that other players on the Bears or around the league were not involved, Angelo said, "I can't talk about that."
"I'm certainly not going on any witch hunts about players," he added. "The one thing that we've done when there's been a wrong, we've acted. We don't justify wrongs. We've acted. We have a track record of doing that. Unfortunately, a situation arose that caught us off guard, but not to the point where we aren't going to do the right thing."

All responses
One correction or enhancement to my problem:

Hello Heinz,
Unfortunately, this feature is not available through the Chrome extension. This is Chrome's limitation it doesn't allow sending local files through extensions.
As for the Windows app - we're sorry for the inconvenience, we're aware of multiple issues the current version has and we're working on a rewrite of it which should be available relatively soon.
For now, please use the attachment feature directly on the web through any browser.
Best regards,

50 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time
From the Monkees to 1D: pre-fab pop's most scream-worthy songs
After sweeping the European charts, it took almost two years for the Florida vocal group Backstreet Boys to bring its teen-friendly music and arena-ready choreographed moves back to its home country. Selling over 55 million records worldwide in three years, the group embodied the late-'90s pop explosion.
High school friends A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough met Nick Carter at local acting auditions in Orlando. Shortly thereafter, they hooked up with Kentucky native Kevin Richardson, who was singing in shows at Disney World; Richardson got his cousin Brian Littrell, with whom he used to sing back home, to relocate to Florida, and the five named themselves Backstreet Boys, using the name of an Orlando flea market. They were spotted by manager Lou Pearlman, who handed the group's daily care over to former New Kids on the Block road manager Johnny Wright and his wife, Donna. They started performing around local malls, theme parks, and schools, with Carter, Littrell, and McLean emerging as the main lead singers.
Backstreet Boys signed to Jive Records in 1994, but their first Jive single, "We've Got It Goin' On" (#69, 1995), flopped in an American market still in grunge's waning grip. The song did a lot better everywhere else in the world, though, hitting #1 in Germany, for instance; the Boys' self-titled debut, released in the spring of 1996 everywhere but the U.S., sold over 11 million copies worldwide.
The Florida group finally made its full-length American debut with the 14-million-selling Backstreet Boys (#4, 1997), whose bulk was made up of the band's foreign release including a cover of P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" with a smattering of extra tracks. The group's label and managing company focused their marketing campaign on teen and preteen girls, distributing free tapes at cheerleading camps and placing them in JC Penney makeup cases. This time the strategy worked, and, with the extra help of a musical climate more open to bubblegum R&B, the group rocketed to the top of the pop charts with several singles, including the 2-million-selling "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" (#2, 1997), "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" (#4, 1998), and "I'll Never Break Your Heart" (#35, 1998). The group was also nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist. In May 1998 it filed a lawsuit for back touring and recording revenues against Pearlman and the two associates he'd hired. (The suit was eventually settled out of court with Pearlman receiving one-sixth of the band's earnings.) The band was also angry that Pearlman had been working with the nascent boy band 'N Sync. At about the same time, Littrell had open-heart surgery to correct a congenital defect.
Recorded mostly in Stockholm, 1999's Millennium confirmed Backstreet Boys as the reigning boy band. Featuring some songs cowritten by the singers, the album debuted at #1, selling a record-breaking 1,134,000 copies the week of its release. It generated the hit singles "All I Have to Give" (#5, 1999), "I Want It That Way" (#6, 1999), and "Larger Than Life" (#25, 1999), and was nominated for five Grammys, including Best Album. The Millennium Tour sold out all its dates in less than a day, confirming the Backstreet Boys' phenomenal popularity. Also that year the group entered into a promotional campaign for Burger King, which distributed miniature plastic figures of each Boy.
With the group's top position endangered by the rise of rival boy band 'N Sync, it returned with the single "Shape of My Heart" (#9, 2000) and the album Black & Blue (#1, 2000), which included two songs written by the Boys themselves. Black & Blue sold 5 million copies worldwide in its first week but topped the chart for only two weeks —an accomplishment for anybody, but a letdown for the Boys, and not nearly as successful as 'N Sync's simultaneous release. The Boys postponed their summer 2001 North American tour so that McLean could enter a treatment program for depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse.

So with that in mind, it's high time to start considering your spring shoe game, and loafers are an ideal place to start. This pair by Gucci tick all the right boxes — they're sleek, perfectly colored, and burnished for that subtle shot of texture. Whether you prefer to wear yours sockless with some rolled jeans, with a suit, or Ivy-style with a pair of chinos and white socks, loafers will see you through the warmer seasons to come, and many more after.

Grrrr, frustration, etc.

Where could I look to find precipitation information, either anecdotal or official? Someone's blog? Twitter? Certainly isn't in the newspaper here and I don't find it online in the weather sites either. Have not heard about it on the radio.
I'd say it rained here in this part of town (87505) South Capitol district, about one half inch in the late afternoon of 6/28/2013.
Wunderground again reports a very very different amount, 5/100ths of one inch, at the airport here. Wunderground did this last time we had a good rain also, a week or two ago.

WWTDG: Negin Singh And cARTel: Collaborative ARTs LA
With an Indian father and a Persian mother, both entrepreneurs of four businesses each (ranging from rice import to running the first ever Persian beauty pageant in Los Angeles called "Negin-e-Iran", meaning "The Gem of Iran"), Negin learned early on "to be (her) own person, never wait for a paycheck, or ask a boss if she could go on vacation". Her parents inspired her to "Make (her) own luck. celebrate (her) own successes, and feel (her) own failures." She said that because her parents created their own schedule, they never felt like they were working even when they were working their hardest. And, fortunately, having family businesses allows Negin to work for her father on the side while she follows her passions in the arts.
Negin's parents are incredibly proud of their culture and exposed their children to a lot of the world as they were growing up. She is only twenty-five years old and in those twenty-five years, she's lived in twenty three houses, from all over California, to Texas, India, and Dubai. Moving around a lot allowed Negin to learn how to make friends quickly, and art-making became her one constant. If this is any testament to her creativity, boldness, and producing skills, when she was just nine years old while living in Dubai, she knocked on every apartment building's door in her home's vicinity and got every child living in the area to sign up for an "Inter-building swimming gala". She organized races and prizes for the swimming event, and made it her passion for the summer. And, at just seven years old, she dressed in full Indian garb and won a Ms. California pageant. She says she was never embarrassed that she looked different, and even used her multi-cultural heritage to her advantage. In fact, when the judges announced that she had won, she was already backstage because she expected success.
Negin's confidence comes from her family being very proud of their culture and diversity. However, it wasn't always easy to be Indian and Persian in the places they were living, like Texas. Negin was often teased, but her parents always reminded her to be grateful for having experienced more than most children had been able to. Her mother would take Negin to every temple imaginable of all faiths and always told her: "There is always a choice and all paths lead to good if you're a good person." This philosophy informs Negin's multi-perspective artistic practice that "there is no one way side" to anything. The fact that Negin's mother is incredibly caring has also informed Negin's sense of hospitality. She always tries to make people, from strangers to her collective members, feel like they're cared for, that it's not about her, "It's about us." Negin and I sat down for an interview and she served the most amazing tea with some tasty scones from her boyfriend's company, Whim Kitchen. In the video above, we talk about what cARTel does, and how it is influential in the Los Angeles art community.
I met the talented Negin Singh at Sound/Stage: "Unplugged in the Amazon", a 1920s-style radio show she directed, written by Kit Steinkellner and produced by Dan Halden for Negin's art collective, cARTel: Collaborative ARTs LA. The evening was glamorous and it took place at the historic restaurant and flamenco bar El Cid, which appropriately was an old converted soundstage built for D.W. Griffith. Everyone was dressed to the nines, signature drinks infused with organic jams were served, and the guests were seated at long tables so that conversations with complete strangers could be had. The performers were incredible, the story was engaging, and a live soundtrack performed by vocal geniuses Dakaboom created the atmosphere of the Amazon in such a clever way. The night was a full EXPERIENCE that appealed to ALL my senses and left me feeling so inspired. To top it off, I got to be photographed on the red carpet at the end of the night and enjoy some free cheesecake by Vijays Cheesecakes.
What seems like just one well-produced night is actually one of many in cARTel's repertoire. For three years, cARTel has continued to produce live art, theater, and film events, while also teaching clowning, playwriting, movement, combat, and juggling workshops to high schools as well as New York and Los Angeles residents. Negin says that cARTel is a "large umbrella" where she feels she can accomplish whatever she sets out to do. Her goal is not to make money, but rather to create a community that she can care for while making quality, full-fledged art experiences of every kind.
Although a name with usually negative connotations, cARTel has made art extremely accessible and affordable to its supporters. Not only are workshops set at an extremely low price, they are taught by highly trained professionals with credible backgrounds. Negin prides herself in connecting with well-known artists to participate in her events, as well as forming relationships with independent businesses that can enhance the cARTel experience. For example, because Negin revels in truly connecting with people and helping other companies, the Santa Monica Co-op sometimes donates refreshments and food to their events. Six01 Studios has provided space for their affordable concert festival Brokechella, Bedrock Silverlake provided them with sound equipment, while the Hayworth Theater provides cARTel with free rehearsal space for their theater projects and workshops. Visual media companies like ShutterEYE and Brownies and Lemonade donate their time to make trailers and videos, while Showbiz Studios helped provide prizes for their No Budget Film Festival. Most importantly, RentFoodBroke has offered resources like access to free healthcare, discounted food, and career advice.
Negin Singh's goal with cARTel is to connect with as many people as possible and to motivate them to question or come up with ideas that can fuel cARTel's future projects. Guests that have come to cARTel's events are encouraged to contact cARTel with art, film, or theater program ideas, which cARTel will attempt to produce or incorporate into their large events. I asked Negin how she keeps her ensemble motivated enough to keep working as artists in Los Angeles, and she told me that she makes sure her group knows that they are respected and that their time is appreciated. Like her mother taught her, she feeds her fellow artists. Negin's future goals outside of cARTel are to consult with companies of all kinds and teach them how to create warm, open environments where employees can feel cared for and valuable. For now, cARTel is her number one passion and although it is a challenge, she says that challenges are fun because the people she works with love what they're doing.
If you want to support cARTel, "Like" them on Facebook, Tweet them, check out their site and email them, or donate! Their next big event is The No Budget Film Festival, and they'd love to see your submission by July 15th!

I think its great the maps are rotated and gets more ppl to buy premium but it should be possible to vote which of those you want to play instead of forced to play one of the 3 maps that come up at the end of the game.
I think its great the maps are rotated and gets more ppl to buy premium but it should be possible to vote which of those you want to play instead of forced to play one of the 3 maps that come up at the end of the game.
maybe make the normal again and rotate between premiums, 2 premiums every month for everyone
I haven't played in a few months I come back and all i can say is. What Happened? HUH? I am a pro member and this sucks.
I don't know what the numbers are I am sure y'all do (of amount of ppl lost since this patch vs revenue or whatever!!!). It seems less ppl play and if the fewer ppl play the less likely I will pay for pro again or even premium.
Hope y'all switch up the scheme some how. I mostly get on to play and want to be able to find something quick that I want to play. I don't want to start a server wait to fill it up then play ....thats if it even fills up. I also don't want to play the same few maps repeatedly in public servers. There seems to be hardly any servers with real ppl.
I want my instant gradification which isn't what ever this is!!!!
Damn, such a shame... After 13 years ID decides to kill the quake 3/live community for short term incomes spike. I can't belive that such a potential is being wasted. I was concerned watching how poorly quake live manages the the ads business - in Poland at least, there where so few commercials and they where so often broken, not working etc. Not to mention that there where almost no ads that would make any sense for my localisation... There are almost no pre-loading video ads... ID sux badly at finding local ads providers which was initially meant to be the primary source of financing for QL. Now they come up with such ridiculous and desperate ways to get money from players... it just won't work cause when the standard players will go away, the game will be gone. What's next - payed weapon modifications?
this mapchoice is crap
i like the new system, but it's not working. It be better with more choice of maps at the end (all available) and no monthly rotational changes. If I don't want to play CA, the only servers I can count on these days are the "sampler" servers.
People like repeating maps and getting good at them. QL is loosing what people like.
give us freedom
Let us play, please. I don't want me and my friends pirate Q3 again, because I respect you. So respect me back and let me choose maps I want to play.

Notes of Inspiration
Pastor Leo Carter's Message:
What is the Greater Currency That Goes Through Your Mind?
The lesson delineated during Open Forum comes from the book of Job, chapter 42–an epic story. Job, a righteous and wealthy man, who was sought out by the devil. The devil's hypotheses was that Job was only serving God for things.
After chapter 38, God had to asked Job where was he when He performed His great wonders. Although there may be scoffers and naysayers, the believer cannot serve God in self-denial. In spite of what we are going through, God must be God. The mind must be stable enough to engage the will of God, and not our feelings.
Believer, the mind fluctuates and can be unstable based on the currency that flows through it. You must ask yourself, "What is the greater currency that goes through my mind?" Are your thoughts of good things; things that are reputable, pure, etc? If we are not careful, feelings will interrupt the will of God, which will inevitably dictate what you do next. When we do something based on emotions or feelings, God cannot be glorified.
The believer must have confidence in God. We must be cognoscente of an ontologically view of how our life is moving and not rest with a practical view of processes.
Question: Is it a western culture to first expect God to stimulate with things before the mind can conceive that He can initially perform His works? Just because we don't see it or feel it, doesn't mean that His word is not true.
Although the believer may have s an empirical view of God, confusion cannot be mistaken for revelation. Our will must be syncopated and synchronized the will of God. Our unconscious mind cannot supersede the consciousness of God in us.
Tactical Detail
Joshua 8: 14-20 – God gives a tactical stratagem that will result in victory. Ai miscalculated– he thought they had the upper-hand. Every strike back doesn't always mean strength or victory. Many times it is wise to retreat than fight. This does not mean you have lost or that you are weak. Surely, the enemy is thrown off and will fall into the trap as the men of Ai did.
God speaks, He gives specific instructions, the Holy Spirit leads us into all truth. God never intended for you to loose and with Him you can't. Fallback and let God do what He does. Let not disobedience, a loose mouth, an emotional reaction be the nemesis of a lost battle.
"O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. Thou knowest my downsizing and mine uprising, thou understands my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and are acquainted [with] all my ways. For [thee is] not a word in my tongue, [but], lo, O Lord, thou knowest all together. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. {Such] knowledge [is] too wonderful for me; it is hight, I cannot [attain] unto it…"
This is a powerful Psalm–what a revealing of us. Many times in order to get into His presence we have to peel off in prayer and worship. Read all of Psalms 139. Meditate on it, pray it, and seek God in it. The pricking of the heart will bring about change. The reward is awesome!
Inspirational Notes
During my early 3:00 a.m. morning call to prayer, I was intrigued by the sound of birds chipping outside of my window. I knew there was something significant about this. After trolling the web, I was astonished to find several negative online postings of early morning risers, expressing their annoyance and agitation of birds chirping outside of their window.
It turns out that God's creation–male birds, start early by singing to announce that they are alive, alert and ready to defend their territory. Apparently, the earlier they make that announcement, the better. Also, their manly bird song is super attractive to potential mates.
This is so inline with Pastor Leo's teaching during open forum. Last night ee taught on the theological principles of prayer:
- Chronometrical
- History
- Social Political
- Linguistics
- Cultural
- Geographical
I am excite. We are on the first principle–chronometrical, which is time period and dispensations principal. Creation understands the chronometrical principal of God's divine ordinance.
This speaks volume concerning early morning prayer and commanding the day for prosperity and victory. How powerful, the male bird represents that the male–priest of the home who magnifies his office by taking authority over territory.
Believer, creation is waiting for us to take our place. We are to in pray heavenly bound prayers and in the volume of the book that it written of us as Jesus did. We are to invoke God the He will govern our day that His original plan and purposed is done in our life, family , business, and love one,s according to His will. We are to move with the methodologies of heaven–to decree and declare that today that all elements of this world and heaven must come under God's control–it is He who made us and not we ourselves.
Prayer Ambassador
You are called to bring the systems of this world into divine alignment, 1Peter 2:9. You are a prayer ambassador
Job 22:28 states, "thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" this scripture refers to your kingly anointing. A king does not beg and cry for anything. A king has legal power to decree, which is an old English word for legislate.
You must manifest your kingly anointing to decree blessings over your life, ministry, marriage, family, business, etc.
Every decree is pregnant with power and potential Psalm 2:7 – God utilizes this prerogative, and grants the same to His earthly ambassadorial representative.
David used his right to decree and declare in order to turn the tides of Israel's unfavorable fate and to defeat their enemy Goliath. In the book of 1Samuel 17:46-51, David addresses his enemy with conviction and authority.
Since the spirit realm is the causal realm, Goliath was dead long before he was struck by the stone and beheaded by the sword. Proverbs 18:21 death and life are in he power of the tongue
Prover 13:3 "he that keepth his mouth (guards and watches what he says) keepeth his life.
Believer, there is a 24-hour turnaround declaration: Tomorrow about this time, 2 kings 7:1-20
The prophet Elisha spoke the blessing of God into manifestation. It took one prophetic declaration to change the economic landscape of an entire nation. The Lord who influenced the king me Devine declaration with skepticism and unbelief. His words literally aborted the blessings of God in his life and caused him instead to loose his life. This man died because he refused to agree with the plan of God and scoffed at the methodology of a blessing. However, four lepers, who were not in close proximity to the declaration, were opposed by it. They had experienced a sudden surprise and a supernatural supply because of a prophetic explosion that opened the window of heaven.
Worship Before Intercession
It is an awesome experience to war in the spirit; however, it means nothing and has an efficacious effect if worship with the Father is not the first priority.
Worship with the Father evokes a purification and self-diagnostic evaluation. Once we enter into the presence of God, unequivocally, there is a change in our spiritual walk which enables submission, humility , healing and deliverance.
If there is no change, then one can probably say, more time must be spent with the Lord. Insignificant things and people are also revealed while in the presence of God.
Before entering into warfare, ask God to reveal anything that does not line up with the Word of God in your spiritual walk with Him. By not submitting, you only become a target for the enemy–spiritual wickedness takes hold of the mind. Thereby, one can walk with a reprobated spirit.
Check your diagnostic evaluation from God – there cannot be any of the following:
- Disobedience to God or leadership
- Contamination of body & Spirit
- Acrimonious or discord behavior with fellow Christians, friends & family
- Self-rightness and pride
- Unforgiving – stubbornness to release
- Resistance to follow the Word of God, or Leadership
Good gives a specific tools to a life for unspeakable joy–the Bible.Matthew extrapolate from the mind of Christ to elaborate and give clear instruction on every need being met.
"But seek yet first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
(Matthew 6:33 KJV)
Although this scripture is a familiar scripture for the scholars, it is a powerful scripture for every believer–a command and a promise from God. The promise is without limits.
The Amplified says like this: "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides."
It is clear; eagerly hunt after God. (Strong's 2122) Seek is in order to find out by thinking, meditating, reasoning to enquire unto. Seek to promote the glory of God. Trace the divine majesty and power of God. His righteousness (Strong's 1342) denotes right doing, integrity, purity of life, correctness of thinking and acting.

Hugh Jackman on playing claw-wielding superhero Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past
Posted: May 20, 2014|
AFTER playing claw-wielding superhero Wolverine seven times on the big screen, it's no surprise that Australian actor Hugh Jackman has become something of an X-Men oracle on set.
But, as the actor points out, being your colleagues' go-to man for all things X-Men can be a little trying, even if the colleagues in question happen to be acting legends.
He is joking, of course, but you can imagine that if anyone was in need of a refresher on the film franchise, he'd be a safe bet to approach.
Hugh's a very familiar face among the cast, having worked on the series, based on the popular Marvel comics, for the last 14 years.
For the latest film, X-Men: Days Of Future Past – which sees Wolverine and fellow characters from the original trilogy sent back in time to reunite with their younger selves in a bid to change history – he'll be reunited with Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Nicholas Hoult, his co-stars from X-Men: First Class, as well as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Halle Berry.
Despite having played Wolverine for almost a decade-and-a-half, Hugh, who started his career in musical theatre, is still brimming with enthusiasm for his impressively sideburned alter ego.
"If you go to the comic books, there's a lot of very strong character points about Wolverine," he explains. "He's the loner. That tough, bad ass, cool guy who does what he wants and doesn't follow anyone else's lead. "He's a good guy but not a nice guy. Those are some of the things that I love about him.
"Each person who takes him on gives him slightly different colour, and hopefully over the 14 years, I've given him different colours."
By the sounds of it, Hugh's Wolverine journey isn't over yet, either.
"I haven't officially signed on to anything else," says the Sydney-born actor. "But I am also part of the process of developing another Wolverine movie and also X-Men: Apocalypse, which is the follow-up to this movie. I don't know what role I'll play in that.
"If I was a betting man, I'd say this X-Men is not the last (for me), but there has to be a very compelling reason for me to do it," he adds. "I love the character. I love the series. I would never take it for granted or do it for the hell of it.
"I have to feel like I really have something to offer and we're going to take Wolverine on a slightly different journey. Otherwise it'll be time to hand over the claws to someone else, and I'm sure there will be many lining up to do it."
X-Men: Days of Future Past (12A) is released in cinemas on Thursday.
