Perhaps not....I've notice that the HF caps (with the silver stripe on the negative side...NOT GOLD) with a date code of "97FH" did not leak. I replace them in three zxti amps and all with the same date code did not leak. Not if you want to be on the safe side then replace them and you won't have to worry about them, always a good idea to do so.
I got 39FH and two off them where leaking that was on zx600ti, on the zx400ti it had 99F3 one off them had some leaking just a few drops.
I have an old m50 13456. I gave the amp to my brother not knowing about the cap issue. he plugged it in to use it to smell burning. I opened it up to notice that the 3 larger caps on the top right of the amp the bottom one had sparked. Picture is below.
I have some solder experience with my RC cars but no electronic repair experience. I would like to however, try and replace these if the board isn't ruined.
My questions are are these the same caps that are in your tutorial that I would buy from digikey?
The image maybe doesn't give you all you need i am not sure but can i clean up those char marks and if so what is the process of determining if it is unrepairable?
Thanks for the tutorial and assistance. I hope I can make this thing work.
It's repairable as long as you have at least one good set of cap pads and no damage to traces. You might not even have board damage, use 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Earlier in the thread the question was asked if this problem affected the Sapphire line and I never seen it answered. Can someone please clarify. I took it to a local shop and they did not really want to replace the caps and told me that at this point there were no signs of leakage and it would be a waste of cash. So now I am hunting someone else to do the recapping but was curious if it would be safe to actually run this until I found someone.
Yes the Sapphires also have the same leaky caps...if they are dark blue with a gold or silver negative stripe and have "HF", "HFZ" or "HFQ" on them then they need to be replaced. I notice leakage on my 3.0X.
I need some advice on a ZX250 is it easier to replace the caps on the slave board by removing the heatsink or by desoldering the slave board from the main pcb.
I would remove the rail cap board if I were to replace the rail caps. Careful not to damage the traces and via holes.
The rail caps the tops are bulged so I think they need to be replaced soon. Just not sure if I want to try that or let someone else do it.
Now to the actual question. I see that Nichion UHE series is commonly used in recapping these amps, but I've decided to try the new Nichion UHW type caps. Both ESR and Ripple current looks better then UHE (and Panasonic FC).
So for the M50's I am getting UHW1C682MHD.
And for the ZPA UHW1C822MHD.
Does this look like reasonable capacitor choices, and have anyone used the UHW series Nichions in a re-cap?
EDIT: I have received the caps from mouser and re-capped one of the M50's. Fitting four UHW1C682MHD standing up was no problem height wise so I did that. The most tricky part of the operation was extracting the old cut-off cap legs from below (according to this tutorial). They were cut very close to the board and I had trouble gripping them, next time I'll leave a little more sticking up on the top-side and grab them from there.
About 13 years ago I did my first cap replacement job on a ZX250v2 I found to be leaking. The originals in it were Nichicon, so I replaced them with the same series Nichicon at that time. The only difference was I went with the larger value so the height would be the same as the originals (as cap technology had improved and the original value was then much shorter). My primary concern was the look of the amp, not the performance of the caps. In this application any cap performance improvement would not be noticeable.
I ordered extras with my original Digikey purchase, and these ended up in the next cap job I did. I then bought more and continued to use them. This is the reason I have stuck with those same caps all these years. Instead of stocking different brands and versions, I just stick with the same one.
So long as the replacement cap physically fits, can tolerate reasonable heat, and is 16V or greater, I cannot see any problem with it.

I Prefer Representatives, Sound Doctrine and the Holy Spirit Over False Choices
I was speaking with a friend a week or two ago (a conservative Mennonite searching for his place in the church) and he shared this quote:
"Doctrine is dead as a doorknob without the presence of the Holy Spirit in an individual's life." (Paul Washer)
That quote drop of a Calvinist commentator was annoying to me. It was annoying because it was shared in the context of a conversation about Orthodox worship and prayers. The clear implication being that established doctrine is somehow in conflict with spiritual life.
So, without hesitation, I asked my friend: "How do you know Washer's doctrines (like the one you just quoted) are inspired by the Holy Spirit?"
My question was based on my own experience as one who had put his full confidence in the Holy Spirit and has since learned (the hard way) the need to be grounded in sound doctrine as well. In fact, it was my desire to follow the Spirit without compromise which had led to my pursuit of the impossibility, which led to my eventual disillusionment with the Mennonite denomination, which led me to the ancient faith of Orthodoxy and new spiritual life.
So, getting back to Washer's quote, he presents a false choice between doctrine and the Holy Spirit. He, like many Protestant commentators, seems to equate established religious dogma with spiritual deadness. His quote suggests that we devalue church traditions (those pertaining to worship and prayer in the case of my friend) based in an assumption that what is new or spontaneous is somehow more authentic and real than something that has been passed down through many generations.
But is that truly the case?
Do we ever need to choose between established doctrine and authentic faith?
From what I can tell, church doctrine and real spiritual life originate from the same source (that source being the Holy Spirit) and thus we should not ever have to choose between the two. The traditions passed down by the church (including the canon of Scripture) and the Holy Spirit are never at odds. To deny the importance of church doctrines and tradition is basically to speak against the authority of Scripture:
"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." (2 Timothy 4:3-4 NIV)
Nowhere in Scripture do I see sound doctrine being presented in contrast with living according to the Holy Spirit. However, I do see James tells us "faith without works is dead" (James 2:14-26) and also know, according to the Gospel (Matthew 7:22-24), that there will be those who have professed faith in Jesus, even worked miracles in his name, whom he will tell to depart because he never knew them and therefore authenticity of faith is about more than making a claim.
Thus I do question the basis for this commentator's opinion and the many others out there of those who speak with a similar confidence about spiritual matters. By what authority do they speak? How do we know that they, along with their devoted followings, are not deceived? I mean these 'spiritual' commentators are often at complete odds with one another. Don't believe me? Do a Google search "Paul Washer false teacher" and you'll find dozens of articles denouncing him and his teachings.
So who is right? Who is wrong? How do we know?
My contempt for commentators…
My reaction to the Washer quote isn't something unusual for me. I have a near-universal contempt for commentators and especially those who can't at least ground their statements directly to something found in Scripture. And perhaps that strong aversion is because I have enough strong opinions of my own, more than my fill, and therefore seek something a little more grounded than mere opinions?
Not to be misunderstood, that's not to say that I find no value in reading commentators. I do believe we can gain many valuable insights from listening to various men and women sharing their personal perspectives on spiritual issues.
But, that said, not all commentators are equal and anyone can say anything and our feelings (one way or another) about what someone says doesn't make it any more or less true. There are likely false teachings that would resonate with any one of us and we should guard against being closed off to truth based on our emotions. We should remember that all religious groups are able to justify their own understanding of spiritual matters, many of them live morally upright lives, and can be very convincing to those who don't know any different.
And, to be clear, I'm not just talking about those commentators who say "the Holy Spirit tells me thus and such" without offering any corroborating evidence from church history or Scripture. Being a Bible scholar or well-educated and intelligent does not make a person less susceptible to confirmation bias. No, if anything, being well-studied and smart brings a danger of pride and pride can prevent us from seeing our own biases and the many things we have missed in our studies.
Proof-texting, when a person soundbites Biblical texts at the cost of context, is a real problem for any commentator. That is why we have a multitude of denominations all claiming their authority comes from Scripture and, yet, can't agree on some very basic issues. It isn't that one side is more ignorant of the book than another nor that one side is less sincere about their profession of faith than another either—the problem is a lack of accountability to anything more than what feels right to us.
My own commentary on spiritual life…
Going back to Washer's quote, I believe we can all agree that there is no life in the church or elsewhere without the Holy Spirit.
As the Orthodox pray on a regular basis:
"O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere and fillest all things; Treasury of Blessings, and Giver of Life – come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One."
We know, from the creation narrative, that "the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters" (Genesis 1:2) and is also the "breath of life" (Genesis 2:7) that entered Adam. Life, both physical and spiritual, comes from the Holy Spirit, and we see this pattern throughout Scripture and even at the end of the Gospel when Jesus empowered the disciples to continue his ministry of forgiveness:
And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven." (John 20:22-23 NIV)
Note how that parallels with the Genesis account where God breathes life into Adam. Note also that this being "breathed on" comes after the resurrection, after Jesus spent years teaching these men, and is what enabled them to fully understand what he had taught:
Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." (Luke 24:45-49 NIV)
The disciples being "clothed with power from on high" (a step that should happen before we go out on our own commission) is something that happened in the book of Acts, on the day of Pentecost, when they received an outpouring of the Spirit and many came to believe in Jerusalem.
Truth, according to Paul's commentary, in 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, is something revealed by the Holy Spirit. That is something that mirrors what Jesus said in his promise of a "Comforter" that would "guide you (his disciples) into all the truth" (John 16:13), and there is no way around it. All the Bible study and religious knowledge in the world cannot breath spiritual life into anyone.
All that said, sound doctrine and spiritual life are never at odds with each other. That it took a special outpouring of the Spirit before the disciples could understand what Jesus taught doesn't make his prior effort useless. His teachings, if anything, provided substance, like the dust God formed up into a man in Genesis, and his breath the catalyst.
Furthermore, those waiting on the right feelings, or teachings that resonate with them and their own prior experience, will likely be like the rich young ruler who left disappointed after asking what he must do to be saved. Faith demands we go outside of our own comfort zone, that we go beyond our own understanding, preferences or calculations, and begin to walk before we have our eyes opened. In fact, the Spirit is something promised only to those who those who love Jesus and keep his commandments:
"If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. […] "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. (John 14:15-17a, 23 NIV)
So, what comes first, belief and obedience to Jesus or is it the revelation of truth via the Holy Spirit that enables us to understand what we read?
That is a paradox and something that has always made me uncomfortable. Jesus appears to make obedience a prerequisite to spiritual revelation, which ran counter to my own intuition, and why I had always stressed the second half of the teaching rather than the first part. How could I know what is sound doctrine (as in the correct understanding of what Jesus taught enabling my obedience) without the Holy Spirit coming first?
My understanding was clouded by an individualistic filter…
One would think that I, as one raised in a church with Anabaptist heritage, would understand that interpretation of Scripture and establishing doctrine is something we do together, empowered by the Holy Spirit, as a church.
But somewhere along the line (somewhere between urban myths being shared from the pulpit and men like Bill Gothard being given a platform), I had lost trust in the 'ordained' leadership and other members to discern truth. And, as a result, I began to look beyond my religious peers for answers. Eventually, after an epiphany about faith, I began to find answers in Biblical passages that had once confounded me and became more confident in my own individual discernment through the Spirit.
However, that paradigm of understanding was incomplete and all came crashing down when my own individual ability to discern spiritual truth came into serious question.
It is easy to claim the Holy Spirit is leading you while you remain safe within the boat of religion. But true faith requires going beyond our own established range of possibilities, to let go of our own human logic and reason, and step out of the boat. I did that. I stepped out. I took a few steps across the waves and then was promptly overwhelmed by doubts—doubts that were, in part, a product of running headlong into the plans, prejudices and cynical calculations of those in the church whom I had still counted on to mirror my faith.
I had questions that I could not answer nor could be answered in the Mennonite context. I had lost faith in my Mennonite identity and Anabaptist heritage to provide reliable guidance. I felt I had been fooled, once again, misled by the desire to find meaning in my struggles and a delusional faith that the impossible would be made possible. I had nothing, besides an obligation to continue to fight for the hopes of my bhest, and needed answers.
Fortunately, I ran into a man, a fatherly figure, who did have answers that I needed and set me right again.
Fr. Anthony, an Orthodox priest, arrived in my life as if by divine appointment. He had the right attitude, asked the right questions, never said a disrespectful word about my Mennonite identity (offering praise for our "peace witness" instead) and could speak with an authority that was missing where I was coming from. There was no pressure. However, he always seemed to show up at the right time and was always able to explain things in a way that made sense to me.
The timing was right for me in the same way it was for the man St. Philip encountered on the road:
The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it." Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked. "How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. (Acts 8:29-31 NIV)
In an individualistic understanding, this man (the eunuch) should've had all he needed to find salvation—I mean, according to what many Biblical fundamentalist commentators put forward, Scripture is basically self-explanatory and all we need to do is believe what we read, right?
But clearly, that is not the case.
The Bible itself tells us that somethings in it are difficult to understand (2 Peter 3:16) and this eunuch, an important and likely very intelligent person, could not discern for himself what was written in Isaiah.
The Holy Spirit did provide him with an interpretation, yet that interpretation came through a man named Philip. Philip did not speak his own "private interpretation" (2 Peter 1:20) as a mere commentator offering an opinion. He was a representative. He was a man both directed by the Spirit and also commissioned by the church in the book of Acts:
In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."
This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. (Acts 6:1-6)
Philip was chosen and ordained to be a representative of the apostles, the apostles who themselves were representatives of Christ. His authority to interpret Scripture went beyond being merely a product of his own religious studies. He was not simply a religious commentator spouting his own opinions. No, rather, he was ordained as a representative, as one judged to be "full of the Spirit and wisdom" by the church, and therefore had an authority greater than a mere commentator with an opinion.
My individualistic filter was wrong, I could not understand everything on my own, we still need those representatives who are sent:
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10:14-15 NIV)
Why I prefer representatives…
Anyone can offer commentary, we hear 'expert' commentators tell us their opinions of sports, politics and the economy all the time. Some people prefer Paul Krugman, others Rush Limbaugh, and typically we choose those who confirm our existing biases to those who would challenge them. That is also true of Biblical commentators as well. We like those men whom we choose based on our own feelings, on what resonates with us or provide our itching ears with what we wish to hear. Unfortunately, commentators are not accountable to anything besides their own understanding and too often play to the prejudices of their particular audience.
A representative, by contrast, does not speak on their own authority and is ultimately accountable to the authority that sent, commisioned or ordained them.
For example, in a Republic, like the United States, we elect Representatives to speak on our behalf and represent our interests. There are also representatives of a corporation authorized to act on behalf of the collective group and must also answer to the other representatives of the group.
Jesus, likewise, came as a representative of the Father who sent him, on several occasions he tells his audience that he speaks on behalf of the Father and not by his own authority:
Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. The Jews there were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having been taught?"
Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. (John 7:14-18 NIV)
Jesus is imploring his audience to test his credentials. He is saying that those who choose to do the will of God, by following his teachings, will find out if his words are true or not. In other words, his teachings are a testable hypothesis, established directly on the authority of the Father, and not just his opinions that can't be verified one way or another. Jesus is not a commentator speaking by his own authority, but a representative, commissioned by the Holy Spirit (confirmed with a voice from heaven and dove descending upon him at his baptism) and spoke with the authority of the Father rather than his own.
The difference between a commentator and a representative is accountable to an authority beyond their own. If a representative goes beyond their commissioning they can be voted out or brought before a council and condemned. A commentator, on the other hand, only needs to be accountable to their own understanding and the whims of their particular audience—their authority rests on their own credentials rather than on a true commissioning by an authority already established.
Doesn't the Holy Spirit make us representatives as well?
My answer to this question, with my shift in paradigm, has changed.
The answer is both yes and no.
Yes, in that we do, as individuals, receive authority from the Holy Spirit.
But, no, as far that authority giving us license to be free from accountability and operate apart from what has been established by Christ and his church.
The Holy Spirit, the true spiritual guide sent by the Father rather than a counterfeit spirit, should lead us into unity together rather than to divisions. The early church was full of commentators, some who claimed to have the authority of the Spirit or Scripture on their side, but the book of Acts shows us that not all commentators were equal and some had to be rebuked:
Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses." The apostles and elders met to consider this question. After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.
They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were leaders among the believers. With them they sent the following letter: The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings. We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said… (Acts 15:5-8,22-24 NIV)
Heretical teachings in the church have always been sorted out by council and consensus.
Even St. Peter and St. Paul were accountable to the body of believers represented in this coming together of apostles and elders.
It is by this process we were even provided with a canon of Scripture: Councils, representatives of the church, decided what books belong in the Bible and which ones (while possibly still useful) did not meet the criteria of Orthodox teachings. Not every book, not every person, is equally authorized to speak on behalf of Christ and his church. The Holy Spirit does work in the life of the individual, but the Holy Spirit also speaks through the church and especially through those sent, ordained or commissioned by Christ and is church:
But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. (2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 NIV)
We are told the church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, is "the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15) and that is to say that the church does have authority over the individual as a representative of Christ. We really do need that—we really do need to be accountable to something more than our own ideas and/or interpretations—and should seek to hold fast to the teachings that have been passed by "word of mouth or by letter" of those who, through Christ and his church, have more authority than their own personal opinion.
Good commentary must be rooted in sound doctrine…
Anyone can claim to have the Holy Spirit, but not all who do are true representatives of Christ or his church, and we must use discernment. There have many heresies throughout the ages of those who felt they individually could discern truth without being accountable to anything besides their own religious knowledge and feelings of spiritual superiority to others. We need to be on the guard against their false teachings and also against being deceived by ourselves.
We are all very fortunate, we do not need to choose between the Holy Spirit and sound doctrine. This is a case where we can both have our cake and eat it. The church has preserved the teachings of Jesus, in traditions both written and spoken, as the basis for sound doctrine and that "breath of life" comes in our Communion together. We are not called to be "Lone Rangers" finding our own way, serving our own preferences, etc. We are called to be a part of the body of the church, representatives of the church past, present and future, this church:
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:18-19 NIV)

Fundamentally Flawed: How Mennonites Failed To Be Faithful
I grew up believing my Mennonite religious tradition originated as a part of the Anabaptist movement. I would've been incredulous had someone told me then that our theological underpinnings and practice actually originated from a completely different source and a much later time.
It has taken me decades to come to the full realization that conservative Mennonites (and especially those in the Charity movement) are not truly Anabaptist anymore. We have, as a result of years of absorbing teachings from other sources, morphed into something quite different from our forebearers.
The evolution has been slow and over many generations. However, these small changes, added together, have become something profound and with very deep implications. We might self-describe as Mennonite or Anabaptist, but are, in reality, something else entirely and have a mindset completely different from our ancestors.
If you want to see the contrast, compare us (conservative Mennonites) to our Old Order cousins and then consider how differently we approach things. We might share the same genetic origins (and surnames) yet do not have much in common as far as our theological ideas and practices.
So, who is real and who is the impostor?
Consider that everything from Sunday school to revival meetings, four-part singing to our eschatological perspective, and Zionism, is not originally Mennonite or Anabaptist. They were things added (and often with great controversy) within the past century and some only the last few decades.
The reality is that our relatives from a generation or two ago swallowed fundamentalist theological innovations hook, line, and sinker. They did so without realizing the divergent path this represented. It might have begun with a subtle change of focus, a slight ideological shift, but the difference in final outcomes is huge.
We have gone from from a question of "is it Christlike" to one of "is it biblical" and many of us don't even know why that's a problem.
Our ancestors might have been radical followers of Jesus. Yet, most of us, despite our additional Mennonite packaging and a little Anabaptist flair (added back in to make us feel special about ourselves) are simply plain old biblical fundamentalists.
What is biblical fundamentalism?
It is a new idea. It is a conservative Protestant reaction to modernism. It is a hermeneutical system that reimagines "word of God" to be a book rather than something far more dynamic and alive. It turns belief in Jesus into a process of finding a code of ethics in Scripture and creating doctrine—but misses the essence of what it means to truly follow him.
Biblical fundamentalism is an extension of a Protestant idea. In fundamentalism the religious experience is centered on Scripture-alone (sola Scriptura) and neglects a large swath of Christian tradition. It is a heresy only possible since the invention of the printing press.
Before Johannes Gutenberg's invention, in 1440, and widespread literacy, it would have been a hard sell to convince people that God's word (or logos) came to the masses primarily in book form.
Fundamentalists have literally deified a book, they made it an object of worship, and yet have irrationally thrown aside the institution of the church that delivered it to them. They have essentially made Holy Scripture an coequal part of the Trinity, synonymous with Jesus Christ, usually at the expense of the Holy Spirit and almost always at the expense of church unity. If we look at the long-term results, the fruit of the Protestant reformation has undeniably been the fracturing of the church into smaller and smaller bits.
The Scripture-alone view has led to many bizarre interpretations of the text and a hyper-individualism that makes our unbelieving neighbors seem forbearing and cooperative by comparison. It has led to a religion characterized by legalism and dogmatism. Making the Bible into an infallible object has led to weird fixations on particular translations (like KJV-onlyism) that make no sense considering that the original text wasn't written in old English.
In many cases biblical fundamentalists are simply conservatives stubbornly reading their own preconceived ideas back into the text (or proof-texting) rather than taking an honest and open Berean approach. Fundamentalism started out of fear and as a defensive posture against higher criticism and modernism. It is limited because it is based on assumptions that are wrongly taken as infallible truths.
It is a religious perspective that never leads to unity or true brotherhood because it is based on personal interpretation rather than a collective and historical understanding through the body of believers. In Protestantism everyone has become their own pope and their own individual understanding of the Bible their only god.
When did biblical fundamentalism enter the Mennonite church?
Anabaptism quickly lost its way after a good start. It soon devolved from radical faith, that challenged everything, into a religious tradition that couldn't be questioned. But despite that, it maintained a distinct community ethic and (after reigning in violent factions) developed a strong peace witness. Ideas like non-conformity and non-resistance were passed down as a teleological "who we are" rather than a theological argument.
However, that "who we are" was too often missing the spiritual component that inspired it. As a result, many Mennonites over the past few centuries started to look for energy from outside of the Anabaptist tradition. Protestant movements that led to biblical fundamentalism have long had an appeal to conservative-minded Mennonites. Pietism, revivalism and biblical fundamentalism have all breathed life into what had become dead orthodoxy. But these movements did not share the same theological underpinnings of original Anabaptism. And, instead of help, they have further eroded the Mennonite community, as many splits since then bear witness.
Biblical fundamentalism took root in the Mennonite culture when the longtime standard of the Schleitheim confession (established in 1527) was supplemented in 1921. The adoption of "Christian Fundamentals" represented a dramatic change of thinking from anything truly Anabaptist. It mirrored the polemic (or apologetic) style of the Protestant theologians and borrowed language from their work "The Fundamentals" which is the basis of 'Christian' fundamentalism. The shift in priorities is clear, we went from a more practical lived-out ideal to an argumentative obsession with our "doctrines" and a new fixation on a particular brand of biblical literalism.
Our more scholarly and fighting approach has backfired. The Mennonite church has split multiple times along "conservative" and "liberal" lines since then, both sides using their own interpretation of the Bible as their basis and coming out at different conclusions. Our going from a perspective that prioritized loving submission to each other to one that elevates an individual's own (personal, dogmatic and inerrant) interpretation of Scripture has not worked well for us. It continues to bear the same fruit of division in our denomination as it did in Protestantism in general.
Sadly, we have increasingly farmed out the discipleship duties of the church brotherhood to "Bible institutes" and foolishly turned to fundamentalist icons like Bill Gothard, Michael Pearl or Ken Ham for our understanding of Scripture. And worse, while a liberal arts education is viewed as a potential pitfall, biblical fundamentalist schools like Bob Jones (where racial segregation was enforced until the 1990's) and Liberty University (whose founder gave his full-throated endorsement to a divisive and immoral political candidate) are not seen as dangerous.
Because we have become something different from what we claim to be.
Fundamentalist indoctrination has now become woven into the fabric of our Mennonite experience and is indistinguishable from our authentic Anabaptist heritage to most born into our denomination. We teach our children lyrics like: "The B-I-B-L-E, now that's the book for me, I stand alone, on the word of God, the B-I-B-L-E!" or "I love the Bible, I love the Bible, I love the Bible, it is the word of God." Which is cringe-worthy when you consider those songs are fundamentalist propaganda, with little basis in Scripture, that are priming a child's confirmation bias for life.
In their embrace of fundamentalism, conservative Mennonites have lost the fight for the soul of Anabaptist tradition.
Many have confused the fundamentalism of the past century with a "third way" Anabaptist heritage and are fooled into thinking they are winning the war when they are actually fighting for the other side. In reality, while we think we are still Anabaptists, we have actually been invaded and conquered by our former persecutors.
How was authentic Anabaptism different?
True Anabaptism, while having very high regard for the Holy Scripture, understood the importance of community of faith and attempted an orthodoxy around simple obedience to the instructions of Jesus. It was Christocentric rather than bibliocentric, meaning that the words of Scripture were to be illuminated through the life of Christ and via the Spirit. The focus, as a result, was less on theological navel-gazing and more on living true evangelical faith. Or, in other words, they made practical real world application of Christian love.
Gelassenheit, or the idea of self-surrender and resignation to God's will, meant submission to the body of believers. Early Anabaptists understood the importance of community of faith and the part that community (and discipleship) played in salvation of the individual. They taught that faith produces a practical change in lifestyle.
Fundamentalism, by contrast, puts emphasis on personal experience, stresses the importance of dutiful Bible reading, takes a cerebral (modernist) approach to understanding Biblical text and often gets mired in the theoretical.
Authentic Anabaptism was more teleological than it was deontological in that it was more about just "being" something rather than it was about creating theology or a system of rules.
While fundamentalism reduces Jesus to the level of Moses (makes him into just another man trying to establish a code of ethics and doctrinal framework as a means to salvation) the Anabaptist perspective took emphasis away from the individual, it put an individual in a community of faith (representative of God's kingdom) and made love in the brotherhood something practical rather than theoretical. It was less "the Bible says so" (supported by a position paper) and more "this is what we are" using spiritual fruit as evidence.
Our Old Order brethren still carry on the vestiges of an Anabaptist perspective with their focus on maintaining a community of faith. That, at very least, provides them with some stability and a little protection from being blown hither and thither by the winds of doctrine. I can see this in my Amish coworkers who exhibit a genuine and simple faith as if it is breathing for them. Sure, they might not loudly proclaim themselves "born again" or be able to give a detailed explanation of every practice, but they do have a unity of spirit that we as modern "conservative" Mennonites have lost.
Modern Mennonites, like other fundamentalists, are taught to depend on themselves and take an extremely individualistic approach to matters of faith. We do not see ourselves as our brothers' keepers (other than to argue with them in men's Sunday school class) and are quick to split over what we see as "more biblical" based on our own personal interpretation. We have lost the concept of the body of Christ (and our being the incarnation together) that once made us unique.
Why Has Anabaptism Failed?
Anabaptism started on the right track, but subsequent generations have abandoned what was a teleological (and Spirit-led) faith for something manufactured, deontological and fundamentalist. Sure, we have more theological knowledge than ever, but we lack spiritual wisdom to contextualize, comprehend or properly apply what we know.
It is bizzare that we cling to fundamentalist innovations of the past century as if all truth depended on it (things like revival meetings, Sunday school, modern eschatological interpretations and Creationism) yet neglect the richer traditions of the church.
Even our Amish brethren celebrate important days on the Christian calendar (Pentecost and Ascension Day) that are forgotten by most of us. Anabaptism has failed, in part, because it separated itself from the greater cloud of witnesses and universal church that together represent the body of Christ.
We failed also because we, like many religious fundamentalists today, study the Bible thinking a book alone can lead us and this, unfortunately, is a complete rejection of the means that Jesus said would be provided for those who believe.
Jesus promised that we would have the Holy Spirit to "teach us all things" and stressed living in simple obedience through those means—with loving submission to each other as something central. That is something quite different from a mental assent to a bunch of religious doctrines or dogmas.
We fail because we face backward towards our ancestors as if they hold the answers for today and forget that those before us looked forward full of the Spirit. They did not dwell in the past. Instead, they were dependent on each other and had Christ as their head. We should not be trying to recreate their movement or looking for fundamentals. We should instead be in full and sincere pursuit of faith as they were.
I believe we would do well to be humble about our heritage, consider the fallibility of our own inherited base assumptions, and reach for an understanding broader, deeper and richer than our own. Yes, being a Mennonite is as good a place to start as any other, but it cannot be where we remain or it leads to spiritual stagnation.
Faith fossilized into mere Biblical fundamentals is no better than the dead orthodoxy and the faithless modernism it was supposed to protect against. Faith is something that is supposed to be lived out while moving boldly in a direction and is not something reducible to a set of theological propositions.

Zitro announces Zitro Experience Argentina
By admin18th May 2018 No Comments
During the last year, Zitro has significantly increased its presence in the casinos of Argentina. Currently, more than fifty casinos in the country have Zitro's Bryke video slots, in addition to their popular Video Bingo games.
With this growth, the company did not want to wait until the events of the last quarter of the year to present to the Argentine operators the Bryke products which are causing a sensation in the market. Therefore, Zitro has announced its first Zitro Experience Argentina, which will be held on May 23 at the prestigious Hotel FAENA in Puerto Madero, Buenos Aires, in addition to its Zitro Experience Mexico event, which is held every year in Mexico City, and which has become the largest event in the Mexican gaming industry and one of the biggest events in the global industry.
At Zitro Experience Argentina, Zitro will present the stars of its Bryke product range. The progressive bank Link King that has configurable four-level jackpots and comes with four games per machine full of fun and exciting features such as Fixed Wild, Expanded Wilds and Mega Symbols. It will also present the already popular progressive bank Blazing Pearls, with three Asian-themed games per machine, and Guns & Gold, a multi-game progressive bank set in the far west with unique game mechanics.
Not missing could be the already renowned and award-winning standalone multigames of the Pick & Win series, as well as the new Hot Deal series, a multi-game with five games based on traditional fruit symbols, but with super attractive and sophisticated graphics and sounds.
All Bryke Video Slots products are presented in the avant-garde and ultra-stylized Fusion cabinet, both in its upright and slant versions. The Fusion cabinet has been designed to offer the maximum comfort to the player, and at the same time, thanks to its ultra slim design, allows the operator to take full advantage of the space available in their venues.
Zitro Experience Argentina comes at a time where Zitro has already installed several thousand Bryke machines in Mexico, Europe and various countries in Latin America.


Two people had recently asked me about buying a private jet. Neither of them had owned one before but they had both been given a similar pitch. In each case, the broad offer was: buy a plane, take 100% depreciation, charter it out and have 30-40 hours of free use. So, here's a look at how viable this concept is.
If you are chartering a private plane for the first time, or even if you have previously chartered, there are several aspects to think through. A lot depends on the number of passengers, and your destination and any special requirements. This article explains the key factors to consider when chartering an aircraft.
The sales data from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) shows unit business jet deliveries in 2017 grew slightly last year. The annual databook reported 676 new business jets sold worldwide in 2017 compared to (a revised) 667 unit sales in 2016. The increase was helped by several new models entering full service during the year. Here are some of the highlights and the sales by manufacturer.
Jet cards have been getting a lot of press lately, and with good reason. For the right type of flyer, they can save both money and time. But a private jet card may not be the best option for you. It really depends on your flights, and where you fly, how often you fly and when you fly. In this article, we take a look at jet cards and the various alternatives.
Pilatus announced the development of the PC-12 at the annual National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in October 1989. Pilatus believed that the PC-12 would fit a new market not served by existing aircraft, namely the King Air series aircraft, and it would be the first single-engine, turbo-prop aircraft capable of a large cabin volume, flying at high speed across long distances.
Many of the large fractional jet providers also offer a leasing option. Which one is better for you depends on personal circumstances including investment plans and actual travel needs. SherpaReport talked to some leading providers and advisers to get some different perspectives.
The Dassault Falcon 7X took its first flight in 2005, and was first delivered to a customer in 2007. This large cabin business jet has a range of almost 6,000 nm. Here's a breakdown on the costs to buy and operate one.
Private jet cards have become increasingly popular. There are a variety of providers who issue the cards and each issuer has somewhat different features. So it is important to spend some time comparing what is available and choosing the one that best suits your needs. Below are some points to consider when purchasing a jet card.
Sales data from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) shows deliveries in 2016 were lower than for several years. The annual databook reported 661 new business jets sold worldwide in 2016 compared to 718 unit sales in 2015. Here are some of the highlights and the sales by manufacturer.
We've previously written about the main reasons for flying on private jets. These include the time saving, the privacy, the convenience and the flexibility. Recently we've heard of a couple more reasons to add to this list. While these additional reasons don't make compelling cases on their own, they certainly add to the consideration set.


The TRP's ill face has been dominating the Kannada media in both entertainment and news for the past twenty days or so. The red-carpet invitation for director and Kannada actor Venkat aka Huccha (mentally unstable) Venkat into the third season of Kannada Bigg Boss itself at the first place is no doubt, a 'collective medical blunder'.
The Youtube star, who is also known for his atrocious dialogues (many of which make no sense), Venkat was ousted from the Bigg Boss' house in the third week itself by the show host cine-star Sudeep as against the process of nomination, voting and elimination.
A weak minded Venkat was sacked from the house immediately after he unleashed an 'act of crime' by beating up an inmate of the house. Venkat on Saturday, Nov 14 in the telecast of a recorded event of the Bigg Boss was seen slapping singer Ravi Murur for invoking the name of Venkat's army popularly known as 'Huccha Venkat Sene'. For many daily viewers of the show the actions of Venkat was a result of piling frustration.
Huccha Venkat, a small time director, whose all directorial ventures flopped at the box-office, appears to have lost his cool as a result of the building frustration. The organizers of Bigg Boss claim proper health check-up was conducted on all the participants before they signed the show. Maduri Itagi, a participant of the show told OneIndia that as many as five rounds of talks were convened including a consultation with the psychiatrist ahead of the shooting of the show.
Did the regional media go overboard with Venkat?
If we observe Venkat's behaviour during his brief stint on the show, the kind of statements that he made, the way he interacted with the housemates, a viewer would believe that his acts are similar to the prefix (Huccha meaning mentally unstable) which he uses with the name Venkat.
However, all the regional news channels cashed on his loud nature and hyped his entire stint on the reality show, leading to disproportionate amount of time and slots in the respective channels.
Right from his entry into the show and even post his eviction, all the channels lacked maturity and social responsibility and came up with stories on Venkat, each with a different angle, making him a huge star overnight.
The media even went a step ahead and sensationalised all his ill-worded dialogues. After his ouster, channels sought reactions from Venkat tactically to bring forth controversial and sensational remarks.
It maybe noted that the regional channels interviewed Venkat at a time when the whole world was talking about the Paris terror attacks. Instead the channels broadcasted his interview for over four-hours, which pointed out to the callous nature of the channels.
Many scribes working in the regional news channels opined to OneIndia on the basis of anonymity that a trivial issue has swamped into important news breaks. The actions of channels narrate the tale of hunger for TRPs at the cost of social responsibility.
"Nan ekkada, nan magandu item songs, double meaning dialogues ella ban aagbeku," (My footwear, item songs and double meaning dialouges, all has to be banned) he was quoted saying this in many of his Youtube videos, quite ferociously.
He has been seen in many videos criticising film-goers and film stars for being an obstacle in his success, in quite an obnoxious manner. Many television viewers feel that Venkat needs counselling. Venkat admitted on the show that he is an alcoholic and that he finds it difficult to spend time without it.
He has, in fact, in one of the videos made claims that the symbol of him showing a thumbs-up has been imprinted on India's two rupee coins.
Moreover, in Bigg Boss he said he was funded by US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to maintain his army of men. What can a viewer would make of such statements on this show?
Kannada news channels, unfortunately, showed these obnoxious videos incessantly, that perhaps entertain many and dangerously radicalizes many who are ardent followers of his.
After his ouster, he threatened to hit two Bigg Boss contestants, Ravi Murooru and television anchor Rehman.
Ganesh (name changed) a daily viewer of the show said he watched Bigg Boss for Venkat and his crazy nature. "The celebrities in the third edition are less attractive and Venkat overshadowed other contestants with his mad actions."
Ganesh narrated that his sister's six-year-old son and seven-year-old daughter often imitate Venkat, which the family is worried about.
"My sister's son, when asked to have food, says- nan ekkada, nan magandu, nange oota beda (my footwear, my son, I don't want food)."Huccha Venkat has also become the talking point among friends, points Ganesh.
In the initial episodes of Bigg Boss, Venkat requested the female celebrities not to wear short clothes. When the inmates did not pay heed to his requests, he shouted against them in his usual style using his favorite word 'Ekkada' and 'Nan Magandu'.
It is unnecessary in this article to elaborate on someone's dressing, as it is purely a personal choice.
Besides, Huccha Venkat, had a heated exchange with Master Anand for mimicking him in a derogatory way. Venkat threatened Anand and said, "If you come out of the show, my men will behead you."
Many viewers enjoyed the episode too. As soon the contestants realised and understood his loud nature, he was targeted for his acts. Ravi Murur, in one of the episodes was seen chiding for Venkat's complete absence in a task assigned to them by Bigg Boss.
"He was targeted every day for some or the other reason, and Tsunami Kitti (inmate) often taunted Venkat for his threats," said Rajeev, another regular viewer of the Bigg Boss. Huccha Venkat felt alienated due to the behaviour of the inmates towards him and this has had a huge impact on his mind.
Many in the show were seen taunting and teasing Venkat. This could be analysed as the key reason for Venkat raise his hand at Ravi, observes Rajeev.
He contended that Venkat went into absolute silence after 15 days, involving in the task, though in a few he was reluctant.
The house mates seemingly provoked Venkat to a level, which reached its worst form. "Had Ravi Murooru behaved responsibly with Venkat, he would not have raised his hand," Rajeev concluded.
This displays that if the inmates had not resorted to a verbal duel with Venkat and dealt with the entire scenario with patience, Venkat would still be on the show.
The roping in of Venkat to the show points at irresponsibility of the organizers. The persona of the man, looking at all dimensions, does not fit the civilized world. It appears, Venkat is in need of help to better his perception and decision making abilities. And it is time for the entertainment and news channels to introspect, at least in coming days to provide quality programs.


During Arizona State's 3-point win over USC on Saturday, Sun Devils receiver N'Keal Harry made one of the most absurd one-handed catches you will ever see.
As Harry was falling down on his back, he stuck out his right hand and hauled in the ridiculous catch.
This is how you get more passes thrown in your direction, this is also how you catch the eye of NFL scouts.

The head of the private client department at Taylor Wessing, Nick Warr notes a 'global fear' among his clients, resulting from geopolitical and economic events. As a result, many are bent more on wealth preservation than generation. 'They can't really see where the opportunity is now, without taking excessive risk,' he says. 'To make real money involves ratcheting up the risk scale.
'My advice is to look long-term and protect your wealth for future generations,' he adds. Reflecting the firm's client base, his practice is predominantly international, with many clients involved in the financial industries and hailing from the US, Middle East, Far East and Europe.
While data-sharing is a reality of today's world, he is unequivocal about the security risk involved when information is passed on and control is lost. 'Data is quite often misused, particularly in certain jurisdictions,' he explains.
When it comes to tax rates, Warr is realistic. 'On a global basis, especially in more mature markets, we have an ageing population and economies which are not growing at the rate they were,' he says. 'Inevitably, in order to support the infrastructure in first-world countries, there'll bea rising fiscal burden. Most rational people recognise that.'

Students work to break the stigma around mental health

Nearly 450 million people worldwide live with a mental illness, but approximately two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatment.
Two Penn State master of health administration (MHA) students are seeking to change that fact.
For their spring 2019 semester-long capstone project, MHA students Carly Frisby and Holly Frick worked with the Quell Foundation to help break the stigma around mental illness.
Frisby and Frick worked with Penn State alumnus Kevin Lynch, president and CEO of the Quell Foundation, to help secure funding for production of a film focusing on first responder mental health issues. They researched a multitude of grant opportunities specifically related to behavioral health, first responders and film development. They have since begun the process of submitting applications for grants supporting the film.
"Through vivid storytelling, The Quell Foundation - in partnership with Carly Frisby and Holly Frick - seek to create a documentary to provide insight into the lives and experience of the first responder community, their families and lives they touch through their day-to-day activities," said Lynch. "Many who are a part of the first responder community live with the vicarious trauma associated with the occupational hazards they endure on a daily basis."
This will be the foundation's second film discussing mental illness. The foundation's first film, "Lift the Mask," tells the stories of six individuals living with behavioral and mental health diagnoses.
"The most difficult aspect of developing this documentary is not identifying film subjects but securing necessary funding to produce the work. Both Carly and Holly have made this monumental task exponentially easier for the Quell Foundation," said Lynch. "These two young adults took the lead in developing the executive summary and project definition. Through weekly meetings with myself, Carly and Holly have been able to develop a succinct vision statement, created key objectives and produced a plan for dissemination. This documentary has been pushed and carried forward by Carly and Holly on a timeline I could have only hoped for."
While the foundation continues to work towards funds for production of this second film, Lynch continues to work on breaking the stigma around mental health.
Since graduating in May, Frick has begun working at KPMG as an advisory associate in their health care solutions practice in Manhattan, New York. Frisby will work as a compliance and risk associate at KPMG in Short Hills, New Jersey.
About the Quell Foundation
The Quell Foundation is a nonprofit organization with a mission to end the stigma around mental health by creating open, judgment-free conversations. Kevin Lynch, president and CEO, and a Penn State alumnus has struggled with mental health issues. He created the foundation while working on his capstone project with the master of health administration program through World Campus.
In 2018, The Quell Foundation – as part of the Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence Campaign and the First-time Donor Matching Program – established a $125,000 endowed scholarship known as The Quell Foundation Bridge the Gap Undergraduate Scholarship at Penn State. The Quell Foundation has awarded 19 scholarships totaling $20,000 to students attending Penn State for academic years 2017 through 2020. The scholarship is given to undergraduate students majoring or planning to major in human development and family studies in the College of Health and Human Development who plan to pursue a career in the field of study relation to the provision of mental health services.

Lubbock's Protected Prairie Dogs Delight Visitors at Prairie Dog Town
By Jenny Webster Jurica | November 2, 2018
Lubbock is known for several things, paramount among them, it's the home of Texas Tech University and also the hometown of music legend Buddy Holly. But what few know is that Lubbock is also home to a colony of protected prairie dogs that entertain and delight visitors and locals alike. Prairie Dog Town is located in Lubbock's Mackenzie Park and includes a pavilion and viewing areas so that visitors can enjoy these cute rodents (who are actually cousins to squirrels) in their habitat.
Prairie Dog Town Established in 1930s

Prairie Dog Town was established in the 1930s by Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy Clapp, Lubbock locals who became worried when it was realized that the government's attempts to eradicate the prairie dog were proving to be too successful and their numbers were dwindling. Mr. Clapp designed an enclosure (which was later moved to Mackenzie Park in 1935), and trapped a pair of black-tailed prairie dogs, in the hopes of propagating a protected colony. Clapp's attempt worked because today Prairie Dog Town is teeming with the cute critters. Visitors to Prairie Dog Town can feed the prairie dogs and observe them from within the confines of their protected habitat.
Prairie Dog Numbers Have Diminished Greatly since the 1930s

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, huge prairie dog "towns" (which is the technical term for a group of prairie dogs living with one another) were once reported in western portions of Texas, up into the Panhandle. Prairie dogs live in shortgrass prairie habitats, where they can keep a careful watch out for prey. Although prairie dogs are still common, today less than one percent of the prairie dog population and habitat remain in the state.

Illinois' unusual campaign contribution law may affect Chicago's mayoral race

Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel
A recent $100,000 contribution by Republican William J. Kelly to his own campaign in Chicago's mayoral election means that there will be no limits on campaign contributions during the rest of the race, according to The Chicago Tribune.
Because of an unusual provision in Illinois' state campaign finance laws, if a candidate in a local race makes a contribution of more than $100,000 to his or her own campaign then that removes the normal contribution limits for every candidate in the race.
Kelly has opened the floodgates for the rest of the candidates in the race to raise even more money; chief among them is current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel who had more than $8 million in his campaign fund as of July.
The normal campaign contribution limits in Illinois are $5,300 for an individual, $10,500 for a corporation or labor union, and $52,600 for political action committees per election.
Kelly invited national donors, corporations and political action committees to give to the race in a statement on his website:
Now if any donor or corporation or PAC wants to defeat Rahm Emanuel - they have the opportunity to donate to my campaign without limitation.
This is illustrative of a larger local and state trend that for candidates to be successful they either must have great personal wealth or the ability to raise lots of money. For instance, in Pennsylvania's gubernatorial election, frontrunner Tom Wolf gave himself $10 million of the $27.6 million he's raised so far.
In Illinois' statewide races, the threshold to do away with campaign contribution limits is $250,000.
From The Chicago Tribune's story:
The situation is similar to the race for Illinois governor, where Republican candidate Bruce Rauner long ago exceeded the $250,000 limit for statewide races while on his way to contributing more than $17 million of his own money. Rauner and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn have therefore not been held to campaign contribution limits ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
Chicago's mayoral election will be on Feb. 24, 2015, so there's plenty of time for money to flow into this race.

Attorney general candidates raised $6 million before Pennsylvania primary
More than $6.2 million was raised by the five candidates for Pennsylvania attorney general ahead of Tuesday's primary.
Nearly all of that — more than $5.6 million — was raised by the three Democratic candidates, according to state campaign finance data current as of April 19.
Gov. Wolf and Legislature tangle over new budget
As members of the Legislature jeered Gov. Tom Wolf's assertion that House Republicans walked away from budget negotiations in December, it appeared that open wounds from an unfinished budget may taint the clean budgeting slate that was supposed to start Tuesday.

Best Computer Magazines » Looking for Ways to Save on Your New Computer?
Looking for Ways to Save on Your New Computer?
Did you know, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 75.6% of American households owned at least one computer as of 2011? A 2009 study by L'Atelier found that Americans spend at least 8.5 hours a day staring at some kind of screen. That number has increased with the rise of more affordable computers and the advent of reliable mobile technologies.
However, having said that, computers and electronics remain some of the most expensive things to buy. If you want to save money on a new computer, repairs, or replacement parts, here are three tips to help you do so.
Using coupons has long been a staple for saving money when searching for clothing, food, and other household items. Why should it be any different for computers? Luckily, websites like TechBargains exist to offer fans of computing technologies laptop computer coupons, Best Buy computer coupons, and others to help them save a nice chunk of change on their next purchase.
Many electronics stores now offer rewards programs that allow you to earn gift cards and coupons through your purchases. For instance, Best Buy Reward Zone allows you to accumulate one reward point per $1 spent. At 250 points, you will earn a reward that can be used as a Best Buy computer coupon, or as a coupon for any of their other products.
If you have recently made the decision to invest in the best computers, you should know that the word "refurbished" does not equal the word "junk". As PC Magazine points out, refurbished computers are returned to almost new condition by manufactures before they are put back on the market. For the consumer, this means a system that has successfully gone through computer problems troubleshooting and may very well be as good as a new system. The bonus? You can get it for much, much less. Many companies, like Lenovo, offer savings on their refurbs that equal $100 or more.
If you are really tech savvy, then building your computer may be a better option for you than buying a pre-built machine. Online outlets like Tiger Direct and NewEgg exist to provide tech fans with affordable ways to build the best computers for video editing, gaming, and your studies. Websites such as these often offer package deals representing huge savings. NewEgg, for example, currently has multiple package deals including processors, towers, HDD's, and a graphics card that save builders at least $100.
Whether you are a tech savant or a layman user just looking for something to make writing your term papers a little easier, using these three tips can help you to save a lot of money. Use reward programs to earn Best Buy computer coupons, do not shy away from the word "refurbished", and look for online deals. If you do, you will save yourself a pretty penny while getting some great tech.


A lot has happened since I last updated you from our end. We are fine and the Lord has continued to be on our side as we see His grace and mercies every day.
The Lord has brought to the church two people who have given impetus to the youth work in the church: Linda and Amos (both single). I have weekly meetings with Amos to develop him as a good worker, rightly dividing the word of truth. He was Pastor Naphtally's contact from Moi University in Eldoret and has come to work in Kisumu. Right, Amos in one of the Bible study meetings with me .
Sam Omondi (left) was voted last year in November to join Deacon Osborn to serve in the deaconate. We now have two deacons working together. Ken Owiti was also voted in November to serve with us as an elder (seen at right below with his wife Liz). Pray that his joining us, with Sam, will give impetus to the labors and success to the work here. Both are seen here during a recent two days leaders' retreat to plan and pray for the work. You can be sure that we also prayed for all our partners in the gospel even as we remembered our own work here. You were one of those brought before the throne during this refreshing moment.
From 22-26th Febrary, we held our first block class for 2016. Pastor Naphtally and I taught 'Greek One' and 'Pastoral Counseling and visitation' respectively. We plan to graduate three students by April (Ken, Paul, and Sam Odeny), and hope to add four new students. We thank God for a recent donation to boost the college library.
University labors still go on, but we feel that of all three universities we visit, the Lord seems to be blessing Maseno work more. One of the students, Mr. Magomere, has taken upon himself to travel all the way (30Km) every Sunday to be in the service (normally the larger group comes but once a month). The church pays for his fare. Each time he comes, I have a session with him during the break between morning service and evening. This is to teach him the basics of our faith and also prepare him for baptism and church membership. Magomere was recently chosen to be the editor of the college magazine, a job he seems to take with enthusiasm as well.
Lastly, pray for our young people. The youth are on the move and truly desire to grow. They have formed a book reading club and meet every week to discuss the books. They have just finished 'By God's Grace Alone,' a paperback by Abraham Booth, and now they are on 'Life by His Death' by John Owen. On 13th February they took a hike together with their non-believing friends to evangelize them. Pray for such efforts to win souls to Christ.
May the Lord bless and keep you brethren, and please keep praying.

Yet another article on pet obesity in The Suburban in Quebec indicates over half of the dogs & cats in the U.S. are overweight, which results in disease & a decreased lifespan. If your pet is overweight, we recommend a vet visit to ensure there is no underlying medical condition.
Typically, a 10% decrease in daily food intake, combined with 15 minutes of exercise a few times per week makes a big difference. Whether you engage your pet in rigorous play, or take Buddy for a short walk, excess fat will get burned. Check out nine year old Sophie strut her stuff below!

Did you make a resolution to eat breakfast this year? Or to eat a healthier breakfast? I can easily get in a rut with breakfast. We often eat oatmeal about five days a week. For variety, I usually throw in pancakes or waffles. But I am trying to find other options that liven up our morning routine but also are healthy.
Enter smoothies. I like smoothies, but I hate the idea of drinking all of my calories. Also, I don't find them filling for a long time. My solution: muffins. These muffins hit the spot. They were filling, tasty, and the perfect side for a cold, slushy smoothie.
1. Preheat oven to 450. Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
2. Cream together butter, sugar, and ¼ cup brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg, scraping side of bowl to incorporate well. Gently mix in buttermilk, stopping before mixture begins to curdle.
3. Gently mix in flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix just until combined. Fold in apples.
4. Divide evenly into muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with remaining brown sugar.
5. Bake for 10 minutes. Then turn oven down to 400 and bake 5-10 minutes more, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe notes: It isn't the end of the world if the mixture curdles a little after you add the buttermilk. Mine did. You can cut the apples to the size of chunks you prefer in your muffin. I was lazy and kept mine a little on the big side. I liked it, but it did mean large areas of muffin without any apple.
Oooh! Thanks for this. I'm always on the lookout for portable breakfasts for my husband. We'll give them a try this week. Any particular apple variety you recommend?
I used gala. I would generally recommend something more sweet than tart. But I often use a combo when baking, so maybe one sweet (gala, golden delicious) and one tart (granny smith) would work.

Q: Is there a difference in usage of the_title() and the_content() I try to learn some basics about WP so I pasted the following code into a WP page where I use a plug-in that allows me to write PHP.
It works for the_title (twice), but when I put the_content inbetween, the page hangs with no output. I must comment the_content to make the page print the_title (twice). Different efforts give the same result: the_content() hangs the page but not the_title().
What do I do wrong using the_content.
Sorry that I have not got the formatting perfect.
br1 are break tags enclosed in tags to stop php interpretation
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post'
);

$post_query = new WP_Query($args);

if($post_query->have_posts() ) {
    while($post_query->have_posts() ) {
        $post_query->the_post();
            the_title();
            br1
            // the_content();
            br1
            the_title();
            br1br1
        }
    }

A: We can drop this question, please.
The page probably loops when it lists itself.
I must just find a way to exclude listing itself.
Sorry.
This is what was missing
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'post__not_in' => array(get_the_ID())
 );

Electric toilets draw a lot of amps. Even if the batteries are good, a loose or corroded connection can shut one down.
I'd check the motor closely for any evidence of water intrusion from a bad seal. If it's getting water in it, it won't last much longer.

What Steam Boat Willie said. The old Crown head pull a ton of amps.
Also, your waste system will be much happier if you use it the way it was designed to be used.
We used our Raritan Atlantes heads in our houseboat like normal toilets with no issues at all. Like any normal toilet, if you put a ton of TP in the toilet, it'll clog it up - the choker valve. None-the-less, I sure don't miss those stupid toilets!
P.S. Found That Out the Hard Way! Black Tank is on Order!
Urine is also considered human waste - so, technically, you are in violation by peeing and flushing.
The battery charger is a little higher voltage than a battery, and if you connected it directly you bypassed any potential problems in the wiring. The very fact that you needed the charger tells me something is wrong besides a 'clog'. I'd STILL pull the pump motor and check it. It may be dying, and it's better to find out NOW than when you're in the middle of the lake with a bunch of guests.
