I thought I would post my personal statement of faith, which I believe aligns well with the RTI SoF. My personal statement of faith is always undergoing testing and revision as I learn more from study of Scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I cannot think of a time that I have pulled out the statement below and have not had occasion to add a verse here or there, modify a turn of a phrase, or add something to be more clear.
You are free to use this statement of faith or the RTI version to develop your own. Every believer should do this and continue to test their beliefs against the Scriptures.
What I Believe
1. There is but one God (Deuteronomy 4:39), who is eternal (Isaiah 57:15; Psalms 90:2; Psalms 90:4; Revelation 1:8; Revelation 4:8; John 8:58; Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 45:21; Isaiah 46:9-10; Galatians 4:4-5; Acts 17:30-31), a spirit (John 4:24), sovereign (Hebrews 1:3; Colossians 1:17; Acts 17:28; Nehemiah 9:6; 2 Peter 3:7; Job 12:23; Job 34:14-15; Job 38:32; Matthew 5:45; Matthew 6:26; Numbers 23:19; 2 Samuel 7:28; Psalms 33:14-15; Psalms 104:14; Psalms 104:29; Psalms 135:6; Psalms 139:16; Psalms 141:6; Psalms 148:8; Proverbs 16:1; Proverbs 16:33; Proverbs 20:24; Proverbs 21:1; Proverbs 30:5; John 17:17; Ephesians 1:11; Galatians 1:15; 1 Timothy 6:15; Jeremiah 1:5; 1 Corinthians 4:7), good (Psalms 86:4; Psalms 107:1), loving (1 John 4:16), holy (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8 ), transcendent (Isaiah 40:25), omnipotent (2 Kings 19:25; Psalms 135:6; Jeremiah 32:17; Jeremiah 32:27; Genesis 8:14; Luke 1:37; Matthew 19:26; Psalms 115:3; Matthew 3:9), omniscient (Job 37:16; 1 John 3:20; 1 Cor. 2:10-11; Hebrews 4:13; 2 Chronicles 16:9; Job 28:24; Matthew 10:29-30; Isaiah 46:9-10; Isaiah 42:8-9; Matthew 6:8; Matthew 10:30; Psalms 139:1-2; Psalms 139:4; Psalms 139:16; Romans 11:33), unchangeable (Psalms 33:11; Psalms 102:25-27; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17; Isaiah 46:9-11; Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Zechariah 8:17), yet not existing in an eternally frozen pose but possessing Godly passions and emotions (Isaiah 62:5; Psalms 78:40; Ephesians 4:30; Exodus 32:10; Psalms 103:13; Isaiah 54:8; Psalms 103:17), and perfectly righteous (Psalms 7:11).
2. Every unregenerate person is a sinner (Romans 3:23), spiritually dead in his sins (Ephesians 2:1), possessing a deceitful heart (Jeremiah 17:9), is full of evil(Mark 7:21-23), wholly unable to understand spiritual truths (1 Corinthians 2:14), is unrighteous, does not understand and does not seek for God (Romans 3:10-12), is helpless and ungodly (Rom. 5:6), is a slave to his own sin nature (Romans 6:14-20), is hostile in mind and deed to God (Colossians 1:21), loves darkness rather than light (John 3:19), is dead in his trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2:1), naturally and rightfully are objects of God's wrath (Ephesians 2:3), and unless elected to salvation by God, are destined to eternal condemnation in Hella place of outer darkness, a lake of fire, a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth, a place of eternal separation from the blessings of God, a prison, a place of torment where the worm doesnt turn or die (Matthew 8:11-12; Mark 9:42-48; Luke 16:19-31; Jude 1:3-13; Revelation 20:11-15).
3. Because of their sinful condition (Romans 6:14-20), the unregenerate do not and cannot freely choose to believe the gospel (Romans 3:10-12; Romans 6:14-20) and that they cannot come to God unless it has been granted to them, such that no one might boast (1 Corinthians 1:17-20; John 1:13), from the Father (John 6:65) who appoints them to eternal life (Acts 13:48 ) and grants that they believe (Philippians 1:29).
4. God owes no person mercy or grace, only justice. Grace is getting what you don't deserve and mercy is not getting what you do. God in His love and mercy and out of solely the kind intention of His own will (Ephesians 1:5), from before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), elected (Mark 13:20; Romans 8:33), chose (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14), and predestined (Ephesians 1:5,11) some of the lost to salvation and left the others to go their natural way, to eternal damnation (Ephesians 2:3).
5. God's sovereign predestination of the elect was not based upon God looking into the future to see who would choose Him (this would mean that God learned) for no one would choose Him because they are slaves to their sinful natures (Romans 3:10-12; Romans 6:14-20), full of evil (Mark 7:21-23), enemies of God (Romans 5:10), with nothing good dwelling in them (Romans 7:18 ), hateful, disobedient, and enslaved to their lusts (Titus 3:3). Instead, the election of God was wholly unconditional, based upon His decree, plan, and purpose; it is the expression of His will and good pleasure, not a response to man's free-will choices. (Deuteronomy 7:6-7, Isaiah 55:11, John 6:44, John 15:16, Acts 13:48, Romans 8:28-30, Romans 9:11-13, 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, Ephesians 1:3-5, Ephesians 2:4-7, 2 Timothy 1:9)
6. The elect's believing is based solely on the grace of God (Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 2:8 ), not the will of man (John 1:13; Romans 9:13), and not based upon any foreseen goodness in man (Romans 9:11-13). If God elected based upon the foreseen goodness or choice of someone, then God would be a respecter of persons. God's decisions are according to His own perfectly holy will, His decrees according to His own purpose (Ephesians 1:4-5), because God is not a respecter of persons (Romans 2:11).
7. Furthermore, those who receive Christ (John 1:12) are justified by faith alone (sola fide) (Romans 5:1), through grace alone (sola gratia) (Ephesians 2:8; Galatians 3:6-11), in Christ alone (solus Christus) (John 14:6(John 14:6; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Colossians 1:13-18 ), all due strictly to the glory of God alone (soli Deo Gloria) (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Pete 4:11; Revelation 1:6; 2 Peter 3:1; Ephesians 3:21; Revelation 7:12; Romans 11:36).
8. God loves all peoples of the world (Matthew 5:43-48; John 3:16), not just the Jews (John 7:35; Romans 1:16; Romans 2:10), and gave His Son as a propitiation (1 John 4:10), not only for the Jews to whom the Son was sent (Matthew 15:24; Acts 13:46), but also for all peoples of the whole world (1 John 2:2), that is, both Jews and Gentiles (Romans 1:16).
9. As many as receive Christ (John 1:12) do so because they have been appointed to eternal life (Acts 13:48 ), granted that they believe (Philippians 1:29), granted that they repent (2 Timothy 2:25), and caused to be born again (1 Peter 1:3), not by their own wills (John 1:13).
10. The atoning work of Jesus who is God in flesh, fully God and fully man, (John 1:1,14; John 8:40; John 8:58; Colossians 2:9), the second person of the Triune Godhead (John 1:1-3; John 10:30; Philippians 2:5-7; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3), who in His humiliation became sin on our behalf (2 Corinthians 5:21), who bore our sins in His body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24), who died, was buried, and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-4), in the same body that He died in (John 2:19-21; Luke 24:39; John 20:27), whose sacrifice was sufficient to save all, but was intended only for the elect and therefore, Jesus only bore the sins of the elect (John 10:11,15; Romans 5:18; 2 Corinthians 5:14; Psalm 34:22; Isaiah 53:8; Matthew 1:21;Matthew 20:28; Luke 1:68; John 3:16; John 10:14 -18; John 17:2,6,9; Acts 20:28; Romans 5:8-9; Galatians 3:13; Ephesians 5:25; Hebrews 10:14; Titus 2:14; Revelation 5:9).
11. God, by His irresistible grace (Ezekiel 11:19-20; John 5:24; John 6:37-39,44; Romans 8:8; Romans 8:30; Ephesians 2:1-10; Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians 2:13; James 1:18; Titus 3:5; 1 John 5:1; 1 John 3:7, John 1:12-13), first regenerates the hearts (Ezekiel 36:26-27) and minds of the unsaved so that they are then able to respond to the Gospel message and then, by faith, they receive Christ as is evidenced in the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:22-23), the third person of the Triune Godhead, and that they are born again not of their own wills, but of God's will (John 1:13) who has caused them to be born again (1 Peter 1:3).
12. Because the salvation of the elect is completely grounded in Christ, they cannot fall away (John 10:27-28; 1 John 2:19; Isaiah 43:1-3; Jeremiah 32:40; John 3:36; John 10:28; Romans 8:35-39; Ephesians 1:13-14; Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24; 2 Timothy 1:12b & 4:18; 1 Peter 1:4-5; Jude 24-25) and will love God, that is, will obey God (1 John 5:3).
13. The innately perspicuous Scripture and the Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and the practice of the believer (sola Scriptura). "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16). If something is inspired, that is God-breathed (theopnuestos), and God is perfect, then what He has delivered is also perfectly true and infallible. Inspiration is not just a stirring of the mind of the author, it was the very means by which the author's wrote, and accurately wrote, exactly what God wanted written. The authors of the Scriptures were supernaturally influenced, and divinely superintended for the exact words that they used. The authors clearly wanted to communicate God's messages to His creation (2 Peter 1:20-21; Jeremiah 1:9; Exodus 4:22; Genesis 15:4; Exodus 17:14; 2 Corinthians 13:3; 1 Corinthians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 14:37). The Bible alone, and the Bible in its entirety, is the Word of God written and is therefore inerrant in the autographs. When all the facts are known and proper interpretations are applied, the Scriptures are completely true in all that they assert or affirm, including doctrine, morality, social, life, or physical sciences.
In summary, I am a five-point Calvinist Christian, infralapsarian, inerrantist, moderately preterist, rapture at the Final Judgment, paedo-baptistic (not for salvation), cessationaist, and covenantal.
Here's mine:Ask Mr. Religion wrote:You are free to use this statement of faith or the RTI version to develop your own. Every believer should do this and continue to test their beliefs against the Scriptures...
This I Believe:
I believe God is a spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth (John 4:24, Acts 17:25, Psalm 90, 139, Hebrews 6:17, 18, Acts 15:18, Genesis 18:14, 25, I John 1:5, Psalm 33:5, 117:2). God is creator and sustainer of all things.
I believe that God is sovereign over all His creation and creatures; nothing happens outside of His knowledge, permission, direction, plans, or purposes (Genesis 50:20, Job 9:12, Isaiah 46:10, Acts 2:23, 17:26-27, Romans 9:13, 17-18, 21-22).
I believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The one true God is personal, yet beyond our comprehension. He is an invisible spirit, completely self-sufficient and unbounded by space or time, perfectly holy and just, and loving and merciful. In the unity of the Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God created the heavens and the earth, and all they contain. He upholds and governs them in accordance with his eternal will. God is sovereign (in complete control) yet this does not diminish human responsibility.
I believe that the Scriptures are the Word of God, completely contained in the Old and New Testament, infallible in the original manuscripts, communicate truth in all areas they touch on, are plenarily and verbally inspired by God, and are the only authority for what we may believe and how we live (Matthew 5:18, John 17:17, II Timothy 3:16-17, I Thessalonians 2:13, Revelation 22:18-19).
I believe the Bible is the revelation of Gods truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice. The Bible, having been inspired by God, is entirely trustworthy and without error. Therefore, we are to believe and obey its teachings. The Bible is the only source of special revelation for the church today.
I believe that the best interpreter of Scripture is Scripture itself (II Peter 1:20-21, Acts 15:15). Although much of Gods Word is intended to be understood literally, not all passages are to be taken literally, but rather should be interpreted according to the grammatical-historical approach (Amos 4:4, Matthew 13:24, 31, 44, 47, Luke 13:32).
I believe that before the fall, man was sinless with freedom and the ability to do good or evil (Genesis 1:31).
I believe that after the fall, man was yet free to do good, but totally unable to do any spiritually good thing. Man as a result of the fall, and apart from Gods intervention is able only to do evil in the sight of God continually(Genesis 6:5, John 6:44-45, Romans 3:10-18, 5:6, 10, 8:5-8, I Corinthians 2:14, Ephesians 2:1, 5).
I believe that after regeneration man is free and able to do good because he has been given a new heart, and yet he does not obey perfectly or consistently because of his old nature, the presence of evil around him, and the temptations he gives in to (Ezekiel 32:36, 27, Romans 7:7-25, Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 2:12).
I believe that freedom of will means man is not forced by some eternal force greater than himself to do what he does not want to do; he is free to do what he wants to do within the limits of his abilities. Freedom, however, does not mean ability. This means man is responsible for his choices and actions.
I believe that only when we see how far man fell when he sinned, do we appreciate how much God has done to save us. All mankind participated in Adams fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally helpless.
I believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from Gods displeasure, except by His mercy. Because of the sin of the first man, Adam, all mankind is corrupt by nature, dead in sin, and subject to the wrath of God. But God determined, by a covenant of grace, that sinners may receive forgiveness and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
Covenant Theology
I believe that God has planned from before creation to save sinful men by a redeemer who would keep the law which sinners could not keep and pay the penalty that sinners should pay so that by faith they would become Gods people (Ephesians 1:4-5, Romans 5:19, Galatians 3:13).
I believe that the way of salvation has always been the same in the Old and New Testaments, that is, by faith in Christ (Romans 4, John 14:6, Galatians 3:6, 8).
I believe that the purpose of the law is to convict sinners of their sin and thus their need of Christ (Romans 7:7, Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:28-31).
I believe that the Old Testament prophecies that a redeemer would come and bring salvation from sin and that the New Testament tells us He has come, what He has said and done, and what we must then do.
I believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.
I believe Justification is by faith alone and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him alone, for salvation.
I believe the Son of God took upon himself a human nature in the womb of the virgin Mary, so that in Him the divine and human natures were united in one person. I believe that Christ was fully human and divine, born of a virgin, experienced the same trials of life that we face, revealed the Father more fully, taught and perfectly kept the way of obedience, offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice on the cross, rose from the dead, and was exalted to Gods right hand where He now intercedes for us (John 1:1-18, 19:30, Hebrews 4:15, 7:25, Romans 3:23-25, Matthew 1:18).
I believe Jesus Christ lived a sinless life and died on a cross, bearing the sins of, and receiving Gods wrath for, all those who trust in Him for salvation (his chosen ones).
I believe He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, where he sits as Lord and rules over his kingdom (the church).
I believe He will return to judge the living and the dead, bringing his people (with glorious, resurrected bodies) into eternal life, and consigning the wicked to eternal punishment.
I believe His atonement was a sacrifice (John 1:29, I Corinthians 5:7), substitutionary (I Peter 3:18), propitiatory (I John 2:2), reconciliatory (Romans 5:11, I Peter 3:18), and redemptive (Mark 10:45, Galatians 3:10, 13).
I also believe that the atonement is limited not in its effectiveness but its intent, not in quality but quantity. His death is sufficient for the sins of the whole world but it is applied only to the elect (John 10:11, 15, 26-28, Romans 8:31-39).
I believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ
The Holy Spirit
I believe that the Holy Spirit is a person with the same abilities, characteristics, and work of the Father and the Son (John 14:16, 17, 26, Acts 5:3-4, I Corinthians 2:10-11, Ephesians 4:7-13).
I believe that He indwells believers in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament (Psalm 51:11, Exodus 28:3, Judges 6:34, Ezekiel 36:27, Romans 8:9-11).
I believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs once, when a person is born again. (I Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9). It is a gift from God totally by grace and not a second blessing. Christians are commanded, be filled with the Holy Spirit and this can occur repeatedly (Ephesians 5:18, Luke 4:1, Acts 2:4, 4:7-8, 31).
I believe that the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts and produces spiritual fruit (I Corinthians 12:7-12, Galatians 5:22-23). The miraculous sign gifts given during the early days of the Church were given for a special time and purpose, and not intended to be a pattern for the present day (I Corinthians 12:1-14:40).
The Application of Christs Work
I believe the work of the Holy Spirit, as He calls us through the Word, brings about new life and thus enables us to respond with faith and repentance (John 3:1-8, II Corinthians 5:17, Acts 16:14, Titus 3:5, Isaiah 53:1, Romans 10:17, Ephesians 2:8-10, Acts 2:37-38).
I believe that this results in justification, a once for all time act of God in which He forgives our sin and accepts us as righteous in His sight based on Christs righteousness imputed to us and received by faith (Romans 3:24-25, 1:17, 5:19, Philippians 3:19).
I believe that after this, God will persevere in His grace to bring us to sanctification and glorification. All those whom God calls and justifies will be glorified (Romans 8:30, 11:29, John 10:28, Philippians 1:6, II Timothy 1:12).
The Church
I believe that Christ died to save sinners and put them into His family, which is seen through the local church here on earth (Acts 20:28, Ephesians 5:25).
I also believe that there is an invisible church, which includes all believers in all ages and places. The local church is a visible representation of Christs true church in any given place or time.
A true church should have Christ as its head and its husband, have biblical teaching and preaching centered on Christ, leaders who meet Biblical qualifications (I Timothy 3 and Titus 1), have genuine concern for the lost, seek to help its people grow spiritually, have love present, and worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
I believe that the New Testament identifies two scriptural offices, those of elder and deacon (I Timothy 3:1-13).
I believe Christians are to assemble on the Lords Day to worship God by praying, hearing the Word of God read and preached, singing psalms and hymns, receiving the sacraments, and giving of their means to further His Kingdom.
The Sacraments
I believe that the sacraments are signs and seals of Gods covenant of grace and show a visible difference between believers and unbelievers. There are only two sacraments, baptism and the Lords Supper, and their ability to communicate Gods grace depends only on the work of the Spirit, not the person performing the sacrament or the methods used, as long as they are within Biblical guidelines.
I believe that Baptism is a sign of Gods covenant and is properly administered to children of believers in their infancy as well as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ.
I believe that believers should strive to keep Gods moral law, which is summarized in the Ten Commandments, not to earn salvation, but because they love their Savior and want to obey him. God is the Lord of the conscience, so that men are not required to believe or do anything contrary to, or in addition to, the Word of God in matters of faith or worship.
Civil Government
I believe that civil government has been divinely appointed for the good of society. Leaders are to be prayed for, honored and obeyed, except in things opposed to the Scriptures (Matthew 22:21; Acts 4:10-20; Romans 13:1, 7).
The Family
I believe that the first institution established by God is the family. As Christians, we must commit ourselves to protect the marriage covenant between a man and a woman, and maintain moral purity before and during marriage. Parents are to assume primary responsibility for the spiritual instruction and training of their children (Genesis 1:27; 2:18; Malachi 2:13-15; Mark 10:7-9; Ephesians 6:4; Hebrews 13:4).
The Devil
I believe that Satan, the devil, the prince of this world is the open and declared enemy of God and man. He has been defeated through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and he and all his cohorts will be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Matthew 4:1-11; II Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:10).
The End Times
I believe that at death all mens bodies return to the dust but that believers spirits go immediately to heaven and unbelievers spirits go to hell. (II Corinthians 5:8, Luke 23:43.) At death the Christians soul passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbelievers soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.
I believe in a literal Heaven for the saved (John 14:2-3), and in a literal Hell for the lost (Revelation 20:14-15).
I believe that there will come a day of judgment known only to God when Christ will judge all men according to their works so that His holiness, justice, mercy, and glory may be seen and so that the righteous and wicked will receive their proper reward or punishment.
I believe that Christ will return suddenly, bodily, gloriously, visibly, and worldwide (Acts 1:6-11, I Thessalonians 5:1-11). Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

TECHNOLOGY | Renault's Megasize Solar System5.12.12
|Virtual Image Douai Plant | Renault
I swung by to see my little cousin, Melissa, who is on the hunt for an upgrade from her KIA Sorrento, which she has had for a few years. Being a NON-EXPERT when it comes to cars (I don't know how to drive, although my father used to race cars, and I used to ride motorcycles), I thought about electric cars, and other sustainable car models. However, I didn't bother suggesting it. Instead I listened to her describe her ideal car before leaving to head home. Then, I remembered a draft I had on the Blog to write about Renault's Solar Panel Project.
This solar initiative is meant to reduce the French auto-maker's carbon emissions by 200 metric tonnes annually--which would make this the Auto Industry's largest Solar Plant--and is also meant to protect the new vehicles before delivery to the sales network. Renault has already pressed the button on six giant solar photovoltaic* systems across France, as part of a global initiative that could see similar systems installed at the company's facilities in Slovenia, Morocco, South America and South Korea.
Renault, as a company, has already made their name in renewable energy and energy efficiency with their electric and hybrid cars. They have also ranked for many years amongst the most admirable companies amongst various sustainable ratings agencies such as Carbon Disclosure Project and Oekow Research.

I am so grateful for the passage of the health care reform bill. Now my employees will actually have access to adequate health care. As a small business owner, I have been unable to afford to provide my people with company health insurance. The insurance premiums added to our other hard operating costs would have pushed us over the edge, with our operating costs being greater than our gross revenue. No small business can stay in business long with this kind of scenario. And yet, my heart broke for the people entrusted to me. Their health and welfare is my concern. Read More

Using a Home Equity Loan to Buy Your First Rental Property/
I love talking to my empowerment community. Here was an email from John:
Alright, let's talk home equity lines of credit or HELOC's as they're known.
Using a home equity line of credit to buy a rental property is a fantastic way to get started creating legacy wealth for your family. The first step is to make sure your current home will appraise well, so that means getting the house ready. Let's say your house is worth 100K make sure the house looks like it is worth 100K.
Next you need to shop around at a few local banks for the best rate. Many will offer an introductory 1.99% loan for the first year. Make sure you're asking for a home equity line of credit not a home equity loan. The line of credit is revolving and evergreen. If you get a loan they'll write you a check and then that's it. So make sure you're getting a home equity line of credit.
Many banks will give you 80-90% Loan to Value on your equity on your primary residence. So let's say you owe 50K on your loan and the house is worth 100K… that's 50K in equity. Well the bank will typically give you 80-90% of that equity. That's $40,000 to $45,000. Which is a perfect amount to buy your first rental property.
The next step is to identify a rental property and we can talk about that next. And the next next step is to take out HELOC's on your rental properties and begin to explode your legacy wealth. Bam!

Have anyone any advice on corn?
I had -several 1R losses on corn recently. Have the market changed or is temporary choppy.
I had 1 init/exit on the same day.
1 had 2 init/exit in 3-5 days.
All in the last two months.
Is it the corn/ethanol linkage in the US that matters here.
I am papertrading a blox system, maybe i should remove corn from my portfolio?
Any comments from experienced trend followers?

Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review) - Rashard Mendenhall burst through the line of scrimmage untouched and was racing down the sideline when he felt the hand of Atlanta Falcons safety Erik Coleman swipe at his shoes near the 20-yard line.
Coleman might as well have tugged on Superman's cape.
"I knew I wasn't going down," Mendenhall said. "He got my foot a little bit, but my eyes were towards the end zone."
Mendenhall played superhero Sunday for the Steelers, stumbling before regaining his footing to score on a 50-yard run 2:35 into overtime that clinched a 15-9 victory in the season opener at Heinz Field.
The game's lone touchdown came on a bread-and-butter play called 22 Double that is designed to run right and find a seam. Right guard Trai Essex and right tackle Flozell Adams sealed the inside. Mendenhall followed fullback and ASU alum David Johnson - who blew up two defenders - and squirted through a seam between tight end Heath Miller, who stood up end Kroy Biermann, and wide receiver Hines Ward, who shielded safety Thomas Decoud.
"We knew it was coming down to the nitty-gritty and you only get one or two possessions in overtime, so the offensive line knew it was now or never," Adams said. "We just went out there and did it."
Mendenhall finished with a game-high 120 yards on 22 carries, his fourth career 100-yard game. His only other run longer than 10 yards was a 13-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, as 18 of his carries were for 5 yards or less.
"In the run game, you've got to be patient," Mendenhall said. "It's tough. You wait all game for a play like that, where everybody is (defended) and it opens up. Once it opened up, I was trying to get to the end zone."
Atlanta coach Mike Smith blamed the play on a "miss-fit," or missed blocking assignment that made the Falcons feel like misfits after holding the Steelers to three field goals.
"It was horrible. I feel horrible," Falcons middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "As a defense, I felt we played pretty good the entire game. Then, to let them have a big play like that at the end, it makes you sick to your stomach."

I actually like these books (the follow-up is called "Look! Another Book!") better than the I Spy. The illustrations are terrific and colourful, and it's really fun for kids to turn the page and see specific elements from a busy page highlighted by cut-outs from an overlaying page. Some really funny images too that parents can get a kick out of, all while their toddler is pointing out stuff they recognize. Bob Staake rocks.
Not as good as I Spy, but a good seek-and-find type book to start with.

The Cambiocorsa (Italian, meaning "race change")[26][27] is an electrohydraulic manual transmission that uses a Formula One-type gearbox with hydraulic operation and electronic management operated by F1-style paddles behind the steering wheel, similar to the system used in Ferrari vehicles. The system allows the driver to choose between four different operating modes: Normal, Sport, Auto and Low Grip. Each of these programs is selected by means of console-mounted buttons, corresponding to different types of operating mode. By switching between the Normal and Sport modes, the driver can select between different electronic stability control settings and, if installed, different active suspension settings. The Normal mode provides a more comfortable ride, whereas the Sport mode stiffens up the suspension and provides fast gear shifts of around a quarter of a second. Automatic mode electronically handles shifting of the transmission, but allows the driver to rapidly revert to manual using the F1-style paddles. The Low Grip, or Ice mode, allows for smooth starting and gear changes on snow and ice.

Virginia kicker lands D-I offer
Offer No. 1 came in last week for Newport News (Va.) Menchville kicker Dillon Christopher. On top of that, the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder had a strong performance at his first camp of the summer.
"I got the offer from Navy on Thursday," he said. "I have interest in Navy and it's leverage too. It helps me to get more offers hopefully.
"I know with Navy I would have an automatic job right out of college and it's close to home too."
Meanwhile, Christopher headed to Virginia Tech for camp on Sunday.
"I missed one field goal, I was 14-of-15," he said. "There were 12 kickers there and the coaches told me I kicked the shit out of the ball.
"There were so many people there, they couldn't say much. Coach told me I did a good job and to keep kicking. They plan to come to one of my games next year, but first they want to see how the kickers do in August practice before doing something."
Christopher plans to head to more camps soon, Virginia next weekend, Old Dominion, William & Mary, James Madison and Navy.
In addition, Christopher has put himself in position to possibly get selected for the Semper Fi All-Star Game.
"I tried out and hit a 50-yarder, 55-yarder and 60-yarder, back-to-back-to-back in front of the CEO," he said. "I'd love to play in that game. It'd be great publicity and it's in San Diego, but they have camps until August 5th, so I'll likely hear back after that."

Catholic Sister John Paul Bauer of Erie, Pennsylvania bagged a big deer recently on the first day of deer season. And now, liberals are FURIOUS at her and expressing their hatred on social media.
Viewed by millions on Facebook, Sister Bauer – who is also a veteran of the U.S. Navy and now teaches at Elk County Catholic High School – sat in a tree where she prayed the rosary… Then, successfully hunted a 10-point buck with a 16-inch spread. She noted, "In St. Mary's, this is what you do. You go hunting. And everybody goes hunting. The coach, myself, the students."
She added, "I've always prayed the Rosary on the tree stand. That's a tradition. You get up in the morning. You pray the rosary in the tree stand. So, I just think the Blessed Mother did smile upon me."
Quickly, angry anti-gun leftists left comments condemning Sister Bauer's impressive hunting skills:
@BarracudaMama #This nun has used a gun to kill a deer for fun and atrocity is done and she won't be forgiven by Heaven for this sin son.
— mvvenkataraman (@mvvenkataraman) December 6, 2015
But Sister Bauer is not backing down! She's proud of her hunting skills and is happy to promote traditional sportsmanship. Clearly, these angry liberals are ignorant about what hunting and guns mean to different parts of the country. What this nun did on the first day of deer season is impressive, and we salute her. While Obama is busy trying to take away our guns, Sister Bauer is a freedom-loving, American patriot!
Do you support Sister Bauer? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us what you think.

Motor Cruiser Owner's Guide - Part 1
The first part of our motor cruiser owner's guide takes you through the steps involved in getting to know your new motor cruiser. Read on for more info on training, how to prepare your boat before sailing and a checklist for when out at sea.
All skippers should have a sound understanding of boat handling, navigation and meteorology. If you have recently bought a motor cruiser only you will know if you need to improve your skills or brush up on your navigation before you venture out to sea. Take it step by step and have as much fun as possible as you build up your skills. Here are just a few examples of elementary questions you should be able to answer in the early stages:
Can I do an engine check?
Can I spot a potential engine problem before it is too late?
Can I prepare a passage plan for a day trip?
Can I plot a course to my next port of call?
Can I manoeuvre my boat out of a crowded marina with a strong tide running?
Do I know the meanings of all the channel markers?
What does a North Cardinal mark look like and what does it mean?
What is the significance of a buoy with a yellow light?
Do I have to give way to a sailing boat on a port tack?
Do I have a VHF Short Range Certificate (SRC) ?
What channel should I be monitoring for the Coastguard?
Do I know how to convert a magnetic compass course to true?
Can I plot an estimated position if my GPS fails?
How are my meteorological skills - do I know how to read a pressure chart?
How much chain will I to need to let out when anchoring in 5 metres of depth?
A crew member falls seriously ill when I am out at sea, what do I do?
How to avoid potential risks
The great thing about boating is that like many pastimes you can build up your skills and experience over time. If you are aware of your limitations then you can plan accordingly and avoid potential risks.
One of the best ways to reduce risk at sea is to be properly trained. There is a range of Royal Yachting Association (RYA) motor cruiser and motor cruiser training courses that will help get you started and enable you to build on your experience all the way from handling small, single-engine motor cruisers to large twin engine motor cruisers. You can use the courses to progress towards RYA/MCA Certificates of Competence which are recognized worldwide.
The RYA training scheme
The RYA Powerboating courses are designed for operating small powerboats such as RIBs and sports boats. The courses start with basic boat handling at Level 1, through Level 2, Intermediate and Advanced, at which stage you will be able to drive by day and night in unfamiliar waters in demanding conditions.
RYA Motor Cruising courses are designed for both novices and more experienced skippers looking to improve their skills. The training is usually done on large twin engined, live aboard motor cruisers and progresses through three main stages - Helmsman, Day Skipper and Coastal Skipper.
RYA Motor Cruising – Helmsman
The Helmsman course is for those with little or no experience and covers basic boat handling, engine checks and safety procedures. The course runs for two days after which students will be competent to handle a motor cruiser in sheltered waters.
RYA Motor Cruising - Day Skipper
The Day Skipper courses consist of a shore based theory course followed by a practical course at sea with a minimum duration of 4 days.
The theory course is taught over 40 hours and covers coastal navigation, pilotage, chart work, weather forecasting, collision regulations, safety procedures and more. This course can be done either online or in a training school classroom. Either way it requires students to put in a fair amount of homework and fitting this in to an already busy schedule can be quite challenging. There are two exams at the end of the course.
Once you have passed the theory course, then you will be ready to move on to the Day Skipper practical course out on the water. The aim of the practical course is to learn navigation, pilotage, seamanship and large motor cruiser handling up to the level required to skipper a motor cruiser by day safely and competently. This really is the minimum skill level you should be aiming for as a new owner of a large motor cruiser.
RYA Motor Cruising - Coastal Skipper
The next step up is a more demanding practical course that you might consider doing once you can handle your boat with confidence in calm conditions close to the shore. The Coastal Skipper course will stretch your abilities and covers more advanced pilotage, boat handling and how to deal with emergency situations.
You will also learn how to prepare a detailed pilotage plan by day and night, advanced weather forecasting, how to handle a motor cruiser in heavy weather and strong winds.
VHF Radio Short Range Certificate (SRC)
Anyone who operates a VHF radio is required by law to have a Short Range Certificate. The RYA administer one day courses which includes a practical and written exam. The course covers radio operation, use of frequencies and channels, emergency procedures, Digital Selective Calling (DSC), Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), Emergency Position indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) and Search and Rescue (SART).
In summary
Getting to know a large motor cruiser takes time and there is a lot to learn. Be prepared to spend as much time as it takes to master berthing techniques in windy conditions and get used to manoeuvring in and out of crowded marinas. Practise man overboard drills and anchoring techniques with your crew. The whole learning process is part of the enjoyment and if you can manage your expectations then there will be less chance of finding yourself in a potentially risky situation at sea. In summary:
If you have limited boating experience, personal skill advancement is critical.
Research the RYA training scheme and book yourself onto a RYA motor cruising course for your skill level.
If you don't hold a VHF licence, also book a RYA VHF radio course (SRC) In the early stages, plan a number of short day trips rather than a major cruise.
Use check lists to ensure that you are well prepared and avoid potential risks.
Practise your boat handling skills.
Make safety your top priority at sea.

Gutermann has developed PAL 300 leak finder to accurately detect the leak noise that travels along the pipe wall and plot the position of the leak.
The Pal 300 leak finder consists of a Pal link with a sensor and the Pal controller with a sensor.
There is a radio link between the controller and the Pal link so that the leak noise heard by the two sensors can be correlated to provide the leak position.
In order for you to obtain an accurate correlation from the PAL leak finder you need to position the two sensors either side of the leak and enter the pipe diameter and material into the controller.
This leak finder will perform it is correlation within two minutes and display the leak position as a distance in centimetres from controller and distance from PAL link. Accurate correlations can be performed over distances of 130 metres or more.
The PAL 300 leak finder is simple to operate with interactive step by step guidance and the high degree of automation to enable precise pinpointing of leaks.
This leak finder is ideal for contractors as it is robust, easy to operate and a fraction of the price of standard correlators.

Revisions to city's master plan get OK'd
Dear Residents:
Please see article in the March 6, 2014 Suburbanite entitled:
"Revisions to city's master plan get OK'd"
I am happy to announce that the Planning Board adopted the 2013 master plan on February 20th. This document was updated early to reflect current times.
Englewood Planning Board approves changes to master plan
Thursday, March 6, 2014
Northern Valley Suburbanite
Print | E-mail
ENGLEWOOD – After months of city-wide meetings, the Planning Board adopted the 2013 master plan on Feb. 20.
Planning Board members voted 6-1 to approve the plan, with Curtis Caviness casting the sole dissenting vote.
A municipality will typically update its master plan every six years, but officials decided to update the document early to reflect current times. Mayor Frank Huttle III previously said the 2009 master plan was using "decade old census data."
Hundreds of community members flocked to three city-wide meetings throughout the past year to give their input on what should go into the master plan, which is an outline for future growth and development.
Brown & Keener, the planner who authored the document, broke up its recommendations into five categories: Destination Downtown, My Neighborhood, Englewood South, Mobility, and Our Town.
About five people attended the meeting to adopt the master plan, while one resident spoke at the public comment.
David Popkin opposed the recommendation to create a historical commission "that has teeth." Popkin, who lives in a home on the National Register of Historic Places, believed he should have the same rights as his neighbors to modify his home without the restrictions placed by a historical commission.
"Some 25 years ago, my eighth-grade social studies teacher made a comment: 'you're not the owner of your house; you're only a temporary custodian during the limited period of time you're on the face of the Earth,'" said Popkin. "I don't consider that to be where I am. I pay the same taxes everyone else pays."
Lewis Baer, a Planning Board member, said the body received a lot of public input about the advantages of having a historical commission. He said that the commission was a recommendation in the master plan, but the city council would decide whether to create the commission.
Planning Board Attorney Michael Kates added that the council could make accommodations in a potential historical commission ordinance, including possible tax abatements for the burden of maintaining a historical home.
Before the vote, Huttle discussed last minute changes to the plan that were in response to issues brought up during public comment at a master plan hearing on Jan. 23.
At the hearing, community members brought up topics ranging from the public school system, the extension of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, the future use of Liberty School, the feasibility of an arts district and a desire for a physical community center.
Planners added a recommendation to have the Englewood Economic Development Corporation (EEDC) take a leadership role in managing a proposed cultural arts district in the downtown centered around bergenPAC. At the master plan public hearing, some residents expressed skepticism to establishing an arts cultural district in this area.
The EEDC would create a "strategy for arts culture and industry that are to be implemented through programs, marketing, branding and real estate ventures," said Huttle.
Another paragraph was added into the plan that promoted adding senior independent living and assisted care facilities, stating the additions would benefit the tax base and create employment opportunities.
"These independent living and assisted living facilities employ many moderate income workers who often utilize public transportation," said Huttle, quoting the master plan.
Creating a parking authority in cooperation with the EEDC, was another recommendation added to the master plan, said Huttle.
The authority would monitor the South Dean Parking Garage and street parking in the downtown, as residents have raised concerns over the years that employees of Palisade Avenue businesses feed the meters all day preventing shoppers from using key parking spots, said Huttle.
While a number of residents expressed concerns about the public school system during the master plan public hearing, Huttle said the document "has no jurisdiction over the school system." Despite this, a paragraph outlining the history of public school system buildings and number of enrolled students was added into the planned in response to the comments.
During the meeting, Huttle raised concerns about an added statement recommending the addition of townhomes in single-family neighborhoods with oversized lots "in specific instances." The statement, which Huttle consider "too broad," was removed from the plan before adoption.
"I'll be damned if I have a sentence in here that says we're going to build town houses in single-family neighborhoods in oversized lots," said Huttle.
City Engineer Ken Albert, who would later agree with Huttle to remove the oversized lot statement from the plan, said if planned approximately, townhomes may offer more green space, less impervious areas and more landscaping to buffer against single-family neighborhoods.
Albert said the city also has issues with many of these large oversized lots being converted into houses of worship. There are 53 houses of worship throughout the city, said Albert.
"Houses of worship are great for neighborhoods, but because our land is less expensive than competing towns, these large lots one by one are being converted into houses of worship," said Albert. "We have this need for town houses. The need is expanding daily."
Huttle believed other statements in the master plan "provide pretty clear language to protect single-family neighborhoods," but also addressed the need for townhomes. One such statement in the document addressed the prospect of town houses, saying "the city should create appropriate town house zoning in strategic locations."
"That sentence is filled with careful planning," said Huttle.

I have never read Tintin books. I think I have seen a few Tintin cartoons but don't remember too much from them. I remember his pointy hair, the flash light and a white fluffy dog. Saw the animated movie version today and I am dearly regretting not reading those books, not watching the cartoons and I surely regret that I forgot about the amusing duo of Thompson and Thomson.
The movie does not spend any time in introducing many things. Within the first few minutes almost all major characters are brought to the screen or at least referenced by a major character with little to no background information. For instance, in a particularly short but revealing scene, a wall shows several awards and news paper clippings, each celebrating Tintin's crime discoveries. For someone who does not know much about the series, I did not find this kind of screenplay uninformative in any way because Spielberg wields his magic with expert precision. The movie is an adventure, as suggested by the title, but not a cliché in any way, at least for me, because there is nothing in the move that distracted me from it. And this from a guy who can't keep his focus if his life depended on it.
The movie is in gorgeous animation format – I watched it with the effects magnified by IMAX 3D – and there is not much ground to gain in this sector. The scenes are so realistic, barring the people who are intentionally made more comic book looking, that its hard to see where it can progress from here. There are shots of reflections caught in bubbles on the ocean surface, distorted human faces shown through glass bottles that are empty and sometimes half filled, objects hurtling on all kinds of surfaces from sand in Saharan desert to high-strung cables in Morocco, from rusty old ship to airplanes. One particular action sequence is sure to invoke comparisons to the break neck chase sequences from old Indiana Jones movies. In fact right after the action scene ended, I remember exactly thinking that it closely resembled chase sequences from Indiana Jones movies. It was brilliant is what I am trying to say here.
The story itself is, I am told, constructed from three different stories stitched at the right sections to make it into a standard length movie. I did not notice this while watching the movie because of the previously mentioned magic wielding by the director. The plot is nicely stitched together and with no noticeable flaws in logic and the dialogues are kept pretty much straight forward. For an almost-first-time viewer, like me, Tintin did not seem like a guy who makes sarcastic, unkind or even rude remarks at anyone. Captain Haddock lays out some profane-sounding-but-totally-family-friendly phrases but they are either a drunk slur or a thick Irish accent. Fun fact: Majority of field tests have proven that Irish accents and drunk slurs in any language are very much identical. In any case the writing is splendid and, barring some of the Captain's lines, always progressing the plot. The place where the story starts or Tintin's nationality and origins are kept unopened in the movie but you don't really think about them until the movie is over. Again the credit for keeping us so engrossed in the story goes to the – say it with me – magic wielding by Spielberg.
One of the oddest thing about this story is the lack of female characters. There are only a few who even show up on-screen and only two of them get to speak lines. If you guessed that Tintin does not have lady in his life you are right (he is actually just a kid), but you may also rejoice in the fact that no other character has a marital partner either, unless you prefer to think that Thomson and Thompson have something going on.
I thought about how to finish this review. I did not want to say anything about the story, just because I don't see why I should. I'll say the movie has lots of action scenes. It employs impressive cinematography and exquisite quality of artwork. The story is thrilling and the sense of adventure lingers a bit even after you exit the theater. It's an awesome movie.
I guess, if you don't like awesomeness for any particular reason then don't watch it. For the rest of you sane people, you really don't have a choice.

Welcome to the Hops N Lops Farm website. We are a small herd in the beautiful hills of Litchfield County in Harwinton, Connecticut raising nationally competitive rabbits and dairy goats.
Like many other herds, mine started in 2006 as a 4-H project when I was nine years old. Growing up, my rabbits and goats were and still are a big part of my life. It all began when I purchased a five dollar guinea pig at a local fair and joined the local rabbit 4-H club but it wasn't long until I found my way into the dairy goat world too. Over the last ten years I have continued to learn and improve my herd one step at a time. In 2015 I became a licensed American Dairy Goat Association judge and a American Rabbit Breeders Association registrar, the first step to becoming a judge.
The rabbitry has seen many breeds throughout the years but nothing compares to the English Lops. Having started with a pet English Lop it took a while before we realized we wanted to focus with this breed. We have previously bred nationally competitive Belgian Hares and Velveteen Lops but with my schedule causing me to be away so frequently I made the hard choice to downsize to one breed. With this we have been even more selective which has been a positive impact for our herd. While we don't show as much as we used to at local shows we try to attend the National Convention, PaSRBA and OSRBA as many year as possible along with a few local shows.
In 2009 the dairy goats came along and our herd has grown by leaps and bounds since the start. Our Nubian herd started from a doe purchased from a local 4-H herd, by using the best genetics and management possible in just a few generations we have gone from the end of a 4-H show class to the top ten of a National Show class. Over the years we added Saanens to our small herd, and recently brought in a LaMancha for a small side project. We try to attend several shows a year depending on our schedules and is we are attending the ADGA National Show. We have been participating in linear appraisal since 2014 and DHIR since 2017, making us one of the few ADGA Plus herds in the northeast.
After many years of having our goat herd off site, summer of 2017 we have moved to Harwinton, CT where we can have both our rabbits and goats on the same property as us. We're excited for the opportunity we have to expand our goat herd as well as have an excellent building for the rabbits.
We thank you for your interest in our herd and we hope to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Proud Members of:
American Rabbit Breeders Association

Microsoft rewards researcher with $ 13,000 for serious authenticatielek
Security Researcher Jack Whitton discovered a flaw in the authentication Outlook, Azure and Office, which could log an attacker user. Microsoft patched the leak within two days and Whitton rewarded with $ 13,000, converted 11,430 euros.
In a blog post describes Whitton that Microsoft uses for authenticating Outlook, Azure and Office several domains, such login.live.com and login.windows.net. If a user wants to log example in Outlook, it will be forwarded to one of those domains. Because it involves multiple domains, however, there can be no use of cookies. Therefore, Microsoft put a token to authenticate the user.
When logging is a parameter to the URL, which shows which site took login. On the basis of this server sends the token back to the original location, after the user is authenticated. Through a cross-site request forgery vulnerability Whitton could change the URL where the token was sent. This was possible because the server filtered input incorrectly.
That way Whitton had access to the service corresponding to the intercepted token, because he could pose as an authenticated user. The only restriction was that an Outlook token example, could not be used for Azure.Viewing:-330

We use them every day. I'm using them right now. They are what our society relies on. And they're what I believe in most strongly. They are words. They are the basis of society, and more than anything else in the world, they hold power. Every day we speak them, write them, listen to them, and even think them. And they serve a huge purpose in our lives. I believe in the power of words.
When you think about it, words form our society. They are the way we communicate ideas and they influence choices. They can be persuasive, deceptive, honest, caring; they express emotions like nothing else can do. And we rely on them. Without words there would be no communication and life would be so much less developed. Imagine if you didn't have the ability to tell someone when you were hurting inside, or to convey something no one else could actually see. We depend on this ability to get what we need.
I believe words also have healing power. The first reaction to that might be, "Well, yes, when someone talks to you when you're sad you do tend to feel better, so I guess words are healing." However that's not what I'm talking about. Writing is my therapy. After a crazy day with a million things going on and I'm so stressed that it's all I can do not to cry, I write. When all the explanations of my day are out on paper it seems so much less intimidating, it seems if I can write it down then it's obviously small enough for me to take care of. Writing has the power to heal, and since writing is words, we must give the due to the words that can calm and relax. Not many things can do that in this world anymore.
Even though I find words most powerful in writing, I will not deny that they have power as spoken therapy as well. Talking to someone whether after a hard day or a good day can be so relieving. Everyone has that one person they go talk to, to spill their emotions. And the most amazing thing about the words is that they can tell those emotions pretty effectively. It's hard because emotions are sometimes beyond words, but just speaking out loud what has been going through your head can make all the difference. I'll admit that sometimes writing isn't enough for me. I go to my best friend when that happens and I tell him everything. And it relaxes me. It's like sharing those words can release some of the burden their meanings hold, as if the sharing of words correlates with the emotions becoming manageable. Usually when we think of needing something therapeutic we think of when we have a bad day, but it works for good days too. I've had days where everything just goes so perfectly and the only thing I want to do is tell someone about it, because excitement is a different kind of burden. It's the kind where you can't sit still and you're just about bursting with news, and the only thing that will bring you down from this high is to tell someone why you're so excited. This strengthens my belief even more that words hold healing power.
Words hold immense power when just communicating in general as well though. I'm sure you've noticed that everything you say has an effect, whether positive or negative. Sometimes it's not as obvious, but if you say hi and smile at someone just passing in the halls, you never know if you could have just turned their day around. Just that one "hi" could have told them they were loved and that people noticed them and it could have given them the strength to keep going. On the flip side, joking around with your friends and saying something as a joke that turns out to be more than a little hurtful can ruin a very strong relationship. Can you think of anything else that has such diverse powers?
Words are what we base our lives on. They can build us up, or bring us down, and they will, ultimately determine our future. Our decisions are just words, put into action. And so, I believe in the power of words, and with powerful things comes much responsibility. Choose your words wisely, and you too will experience the true power of words.

Volcanoes in Tanzania6S 35.0E
Several volcanoes occupy the territory between two lakes in this part of the Great Rift Valley, in northern Tanzania.
The lake located to the North is Lake Natron, a saline lake close to the Kenyan border. It is quite shallow, less than three meters (10 feet) deep, and varies in width depending on its water level.
The other lake, to the South, is named Lake Manyara. Like Lake Natron, its waters are quite shallow; however, unlike its northern neighbor, it is a fresh-water lake.
South of Lake Natron is the Gelai Volcano, which stands at 9,652ft (2,942m) tall and is located in Tanzania's Crater Highlands region.
The volcano with a sharp cone to the southwest of the Gelai Volcano is called Ol Doinyo Lengai. It is unique among active volcanoes in that it produces natrocarbonatite lava, a unique occurrence of volcanic carbonatite, which means its lava is only 510 degrees Celsius (or 950 degrees Fahrenheit).
A few older extinct carbonatite volcanoes are located nearby. To the South, one appears to have a volcanic lake in the interior of its caldera, as there is a large black patch inside the crater.

PC Shutdown: Motherboard or PSU or ?

Unit was shutting down a dozen times a day (simply rebooting). At least I no longer had to jump the CMOS.
OK, so I got a new PSU (Corsair TX650M).
I install it and the unit goes into continuous start-stop. Runs for 2 seconds, stops for 2 seconds, runs for 2 seconds. Keeps going like this continuously until I kill the switch on the back of the psu.
I replug in the old psu and it does the same thing now too.
I take the new psu and do the paperclip test. Fan runs for 3 seconds than shuts off. The live leads still show normal voltages on my meter. Is this normal for this psu? Do the fans stop running when not needed?
So I plug in new psu (just 24-pin and 4-pin cpu) and begin removing parts.
I eventually have MB on test board and it still has same problem with either power supply.
Now I am wondering, DOA new PSU? Bad MB? Bad CPU?
One thing I noticed, the CPU fan was not seated properly (had gotten loose). Temp monitors had never noted anything outside normal parameters, and maybe I jarred loose installing the new PSU. So I cleaned, reapplied thermal paste, and reinstalled the fan.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
That rug really tied the room together!
