Since its inception in 1978 the Jubilee Sailing Trust has strived to enable people of all physical abilities to sail. In the early 1990's it was becoming clear that the mission was becoming increasingly popular. The Jubilee Sailing Trust's ship Lord Nelson, commissioned and specifically designed for the trust, was unable to continue to supply the growing demand.
With this in mind Lindsey Neve, then director of the JST made it her aim to fundraise for the build of a new ship. A new committee was set up comprising six members of whom five were volunteers.
In July 1995, the National Lottery awarded the trust 65% of the estimated cost of such a large project. Initial funding secured, the project got fully underway.
After extensive research and negotiations, the new ship committee chose Merlin Quay, a site that included an old office block. The site was renamed Jubilee Yard.
Now funding was in place, Tony Castro's design JST/02 which took over 2½ years to fully complete (and at one point involved 25 people working from four offices to complete all the drawings), could get underway.
On the 6th of June 1996 HRH The Duke of York hammered golden rivets into Siberian Larchwood during the "keel laying ceremony" and work could officially begin.
The timber frames used to construct the hull were first cut in Aug 1996, whilst work began on the old office block the JST acquired. The building was to be transformed into accommodation for volunteers who would stay for "Shorewatch" holidays and offices for the JST. During their stay volunteers of all physical abilities enjoyed helping the shipwrights in the construction of the ship.
Constructed upside down, the wooden hull was finally turned the right way up on the 23rd October 1998 in an extravagant ceremony with The Duke of York. The turning process involved fitting large circular turning clamps to the hull and took just over one hour.
With the hull the correct way up, fitting out the interior of the vessel could begin. Prefabricated sections were put in place, including the fixed bunks designed to be wider on the bottom bunk to enable wheelchair users easier access.
On Thursday the 3rd of February 2000 Tenacious was ready to leave the yard, and to a great many people it was an emotional day. Crowds gathered to get a glimpse of Tenacious as she saw daylight for the first time. Transporters drove the ship towards the barge which was to send Tenacious into her natural element. The following day tug boats took Tenacious to Vosper Thornycroft to have the masts and yards fitted.
On the 6th of April 2000 Tenacious was officially named in a ceremony attended by HRH The Duke of York.
Tenacious sailed on her maiden voyage 1,548 days after her keel was laid, on 1st September 2000 from Southampton to Southampton calling at Sark, St Helier and Weymouth. She has been delivering freedom, fun and adventure for everyone ever since.

Bitcoin Currency and GPU Mining Performance Comparison
GPU Performance per Dollar and per Watt
The most basic information (and the most fundamentally important) we can provide is the Mhash/s of each graphics card we are testing. For dual-GPU graphics cards we ran two instances of our poclbm kernel under the GUIMiner client and rates were added together to get a total maximum output per card.
Again, the first thing we notice is just how poorly the NVIDIA cards are stacking up against the AMD offerings. If you look at the GeForce GTX 580, a $469 graphics card, against the Radeon HD 6850 at $209, the AMD card still has a commanding 35% performance advantage. The Radeon HD 5830, which can often be found for around $100, is easily one of the best deals for Bitcoin mining and is even faster than NVIDIA dual-Fermi-based GTX 590 card! The dual-GPU AMD cards even more impressive and we can see from the HD 6990 that the Cayman architecture brings a lot to the table as it can pull about 340 Mhash/s for each GPU. The overclocked ARES card takes the top spot with over 800 Mhash/s (a 38% boost over stock settings for that card).
Also take note of the AMD A8-3850 APU - with a Mhash/s rate of 80.7 it is actually computing faster than the GTX 560 Ti, the GTX 460 and even the dual-GPU (but aging) GTX 295. It looks like if you want to maximize your Bitcoin mining experience building a system around an AMD APU could be a good way to supplement discrete cards.
Sure, you can build the fastest super computer if you have an unlimited slush fund but what is the most cost effective way to mine for Bitcoins?
The larger bar the better for your wallet here and we can see why the Radeon HD 5830 cards have been flying off Newegg's shelves! With a current rate of 1.544 Mhash/s/$ it comes in well ahead of anything from NVIDIA and about 20% better than its closest competitor in our testing, the HD 5750. No NVIDIA card even comes close the AMD allotment here as even the A8-3850 is able to best the GeForce lineup. Keep in mind in that case as well you are getting the GPU computing power for mining as well as a quad-core processor as well increasing the overall real-world "value" of the part.
Even though the ARES card and the HD 6990 took the top performance rankings they come up short to the less expensive Radeon HD cards like the HD 6850. It appears that as with gaming performance, Bitcoin mining performance sees the law of diminishing returns in GPU price increases.
If we take cost out of the picture and you just want to build a more power efficient Bitcoin miner, what cards will make the most sense?
Kind of surprisingly, the dual-GPU Radeon cards make the biggest splash here with the overclocked ARES card (that used 50 watts or so more power than the base ARES settings) taking the overall crown at 1.584 Mhash/s/watt. The HD 5970 and HD 6990 also gathered closely to the base ARES settings to show us that even though they user more power, the single card scenario definitely helps with efficiency in this case.
For single GPU cards the Radeon HD 5830 is the winner yet again making it the easy choice for the best card (so far) for Bitcoin mining enthusiasts. NVIDIA cards which have had the stigma of being power hogs for years now seem to showcase that drawback substantially here.
Video News
Any reason the AMD 6950 & 6970 cards was left out of the experiment? As the flagship AMD single GPU cards, I think this data would be really salient. Is there another card on the list from which we could easily extrapolate 6950/6970 performance?
In my personal testing, the 6950 gets somewhere around 340 mhash/s with a few optimizations. Overclocking and unlocking can get you around 400. You can get the 6950/70 performance by dividing the results of the 6990 GPU results in the graph.
My understanding of the GPUs used were based on what was available in house for testing.
More specific results (please keep in mind that I am using different settings than Ken so they are not necessarily comparable):
My 6950 unlocked to 6970 shaders at 840 core gets 372.7 mhash/s using GUIMiner, and two kernel tweaks of the poclbm kernel, and AMD Cat 1.7 drivers and whatever version of Stream SDK comes with that. I'm further using the following flags which are gfx card version specific: -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=9 WORKSIZE=128
Hope it helps :) If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Hi Tim,
I'd be interested in a little more information. I'm running a Sapphire 6950 2GB with unlocked (6970) shaders (but not flashed to 6970 speeds; I just OC when I need the boost). I'm also sporting a Core2Duo E8400 OC'd to 3.6 Ghz. I started mining last night, following the guides Ryan mentioned, and I'm consistently getting 320 Mhash/s, not the 340 you mentioned was possible with a few "optimizations."
Do you know if the optimizations you mentioned (the flags) should work for my 6950; you said they are gfx card version specific - did you mean vendor specific, or just 6950 specific? Is it possible to use those flags when I'm using the GUIMiner, or do I need to be using a console? Thanks for any input!
Hi Adster, I am running a XFX 6950 2GB card with an edited BIOS to have unlocked shaders but not 6970 speeds (though the card is capable of running at them, I didn't want to risk running the memory at the higher speed full time).
The flags that I mentioned will work for you 6950, they are specific to the version of card you have, in this case these flags are best used with AMD 6xxx series cards. You can set the flags in the GUIMiner extra flags area; however, you will need to edit the poclbm kernel file for the other optimizations. You can find those by searching the bitcoin forums for kernel optimizations.
I hope it helps, let me know if you need any help in sqeezing all the mhash possible outta that card :)
I have Gigabyte 6950 and overclocked at 900mhz it has 370MH/s , sometimes goes over, but constantly is 370MH/s, it is good for cost effective?
My HD 6950 achieves 362 Mhash/s, I use the following config:
The HD6950 is flashed with 6970 bios, GUIMiner, flags: -v -w128 -f1, Core Clock=890, Memory Clock=1580, PCI-E x16.
I am running an Asus 6950 with the shaders unlock but not the 6970 bios. I am achieving 379 Mhash/s.
I am running phoenix miner 1.6.2 from a command line (guiminer's front end eats Mhash/s). My switches are -k phatk2 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=13 worksize=128 FASTLOOP=false
Also I am running it OCed to 840MHz and the memory underclocked to 750MHz. It seems odd, but underclocking the memory adds another 1-2 Mhash/s.
Honestly, we just didn't test it because we skipped some cards. Looking back, we should have done one of them. You can see on our screenshot of "The Beast" that we eventually plugged one in and got about ~ 344 Mhash/s.
Try here for a lits of cards and their Bitcoin potential : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
The Chilean miners, they are doing this for sure...
don't count on unlocking a 6950 to a 6970 unless you get n older one. ATI/AMD is crippling the new ones.
No they're not, whoever gave you that idea? NV?
This is a great article, and pushed me over the edge to start mining. The only big question I have (aside from my earlier question about 6950/6970 performance), is how the cost of electricity factors in.
Obviously we are all subject to different utility rates, so you couldn't give a cost-breakdown that would apply to everyone. However, I am curious how much the average cost of electricity would deduct from the profits in your chart?
Is it possible to mine bitcoins in using Windows7 64-bit, or do I have to install Linux?
Does the amount of system memory matter when mining bitcoins, or is the graphics card the only real limiting factor?
I have a dedicated mining machine which runs 24/7 in the closet (no, really -- it sits in the closet). It has the cheapest AMD CPU I could find (sempron processor), 1GB of ram, a flash drive used as the hard drive running Ubuntu 10.4 on a headless (monitorless) system. The only thing really going on is the 2x5850 Xtreme graphics cards pumping out ~ 700 MHash. When I bought this rig, it ran me $530 after rebates from Tiger Direct.
Linux or Windows doesn't matter. Windows will require a dummy plug on any secondary video cards because the OS won't see it unless it has a monitor plugged in.
I did an analysis of the energy costs, which really should be factored in: http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2321814&cid=36755990
We did that today as well!
There are two main reasons the AMD cards are faster than the NVIDIA cards according to this bitcoin wiki page. The first reason is that the AMD architecture relies on a large number of simple ALUs, while NVIDIA relies on a fewer number of more complicated ALUs. The AMD design is better suited to this type of computation. The second reason is that There is a cpu instruction that is heavily used when mining, and the AMD architecture implements this instruction in a more efficient way.
The 5770 is also a pretty glaring lack, because it is the one that would compete the most with the 5830. It is definitely not as good, but it is definitely far easier to obtain a 5770 then a 5830.
Good point - we should try to add it this week.
5830s are not really hard to find in stock. I get 219 MHash from my 2x5770s -- Pretty far below (80ish?) what a 5830 gets you and they're not that much cheaper.
The way bitcoin distribute it fortune is a waste of our limited energy. Please stop it.
This is also not justly correct that only a few people get access to it and most people of the world is not having a chance
Obviously the hope is they spend it and put it back into circulation, right?
There is roughly about 8 megawatts being consumed. A diesel train engine generates 4 so the entire network consumes about the same as a train being pulled by two engines.
Whoop de do.
You can find complete mining and overclocking guides @ bitclockers.com
My GTX480 makes me 80 dollars a month right now.
I think it is your responsibility to deter readers more actively from investing in hardware in order to conduct bitcoin mining and distance yourselves from those activities. It is easy for people to understand that they can make money from computing power, but it takes some very careful reading to understand that by design, this whole enterprise will become less and less profitable over time. So I think it would be better to put the emphasis of the article on parallel computing performance and to use bitcoin merely for illustrative purposes. At the very least, you should factor in the energy costs in your profitability analysis, but in my opinion, calculating projections is misleading and even deceptive, given the facts about Bitcoin (see below).
So my warning here:
Investing in hardware in order to engage in bitcoin mining is a highly risky and quite possibly loss-making idea!
The calculations of "Days to payoff" and "1 year profit" in this article are misleading: Not only is the rate of bitcoin creation is deliberately being slowed as the total number of bitcoins approaches 21 millions, it is also getting more and more difficult to accumulate enough computing power as the number of participants in bitcoin mining is increasing (as people reading this article and others will start setting up their own mining operation). The only effect countering this deterioration in profitability would be an increase in the dollar value of the bitcoin, which is uncertain and unpredictable.
Oh hey look, that's already in the article..
"Please keep in mind that we understand that these values will change over time not only because of the exchange rate differences but because your ability to mine Bitcoins will slow down over time as the algorithm to find coins becomes more and more complex as the network hashing power increases. Read over the first two pages of the article again to understand WHY this happens but just know the results you will see below are based on an instance in time during this writing process!"
I hope this is a dumb question, but what prevents a virus from creating a mining botnet?
Nothing really. Plus a virus which specifically only attempted GPU mining would be alot easier to hide in the windows environment since most users are unlikely to be monitoring GPU usage levels when simply web browsing etc.
A virus which intelligently slowed its mining attack if the user was trying to do something GPU intensive (gaming), in order to hide the system use and keep the user from noticing massive in-game slowdown, could likely mine away unnoticed.
I do not fully understand the setup in regards to mining as a pool though, which is what you would ultimately want all your zombied systems to do. I guess it is probably not 'that' difficult to setup a pooling setup given how many continue popping up, plus presumably someone writing a virus specifically targetted at hijacking GPU cycles is probably a decent enough coder.
There have actually been some botnets (that have since been shut down) mining for pools; however, they were thousands of computers using the CPUs to mine as access to the GPU hardware is more difficult/would require more end user cooperation to get that botnet software installed and running, AFAIK.
This test didn't use DiabloMiner, so it's automatically invalid.
What price did you use for power in your profit calculations? At 500W for a simple 6990 system, total power consumption in a year of 24/7 use will be 4380 kWh. Your profit after one year will be negative if your price for power is more than about 35 cents, assuming constant difficulty. All Nvidia cards will operate at a loss unless your power is very cheap or free.
Difficulty is about 1000 times larger now than half a year ago, btw. Power cost has become the most important factor in mining profitabilty.
You should check out the second article for a host of details on that topic:
For european readers, the power use is a bit more important. 1kwh of power costs on average around 0.25 euro.
Which means a system like the beast (using 1kw of power) will cost you 0.25*24*365 = 2190 euros per year in electricity.
The beast yearly produces 3637 dollar equivalent bit coins, which is about 2584 Euros.
That means it will effectively only produce 394 euros. And that is not counting the cost of buying the system.
A 6990 in the default BIOS position should generate 330 MHash/s PER core. That's 660 MHash/s per card. I'm not sure why, but your card is showing a much slower speed on one of the cores. (~285.3 MHash/s)
Switch the BIOS switch to position 2 and you'll be at 360-375 MHash/s per core.
You also seem to be missing the most basic flags for GUIMiner running poclbm: -v -w128
Does anyone see this as an AMD ATI scam? I smell so O_o
Your cpu usage is silly!
It's prolly the guiminer interface or something.
My 'rig' runs 350Mh/s on i7 2600k and HD6970 and rarely hits 4% cpu usage.
And that is while i run an active minecraft server and use the rig to watch videos and stuff (gets it to about 8% for SD video).
I'm using the Phoenix miner btw.
"... maximum performance on a Core i7-2600K of 8 instructions x 4 cores x 3.4 GHz = 108.8 GigaInstructions."
It's 4 integer operations/instruction x 3 instructions/clock x 4 cores x 3.4 GHz = 163.2 GigaInstructions/second. AVX is 4 integer operations/instruction or 8 floating point operations/instruction. Each clock can issue up to 3 instructions if they don't depend on the answer of the previous instructions. The nice thing with AVX over SSE2 is AVX has instructions like a = b *operation* c vs a = a *operation* b for SSE2.
Great articles guys. thanks.
You DO know that there are single-slot water-cooled Radeon HD 6990 monstrosities out there, do you? 8 of these in a single system *head spins*...
This whole thing sounds kind of stupid.
Who is this IDIOT slamming bit coins? Moron, the US government has nothing to do with the Federal Reserve Bank. It is owned by private individuals. Do you homework before your next show-n-tell.

Now i know why i can't find another 5850 to run crossfire with. The ones i do find are way overpriced now.
I'm looking at testing out a very simple mining rig. If I get a Radeon 6XXX series GPU, would it make sense to use it on a Core 2 Duo system? Would the CPU be a bottleneck?
So your telling me you put a Virus on your computer that helps criminals launder money.
you let it operate through your GPU because there is no security there.
and you spend hundreds on hardware and power, for a experiment in social engeneering?
then you think that because 3 places are taking the hype of the bitcoin as a COUPON to sell you shit at 3 times the normal cost, that the bitcoin is therin a currency?
what do you think your GPU is really processing?
or does anyone think?
You just dont get it,
the GPU is processing YOU!
It is internally cyclicly redundant pre-processing your own non-trasnactions, into a multilevel advertising purchacing and marketing scheme.
If they do not enable the user with a journey, then there is no game to be played. There is no Corelation to alternative universal dimentional shifting of exchange goods in virtuality, when there still is nothing but virtuality in existance.
How do you perceive that something exist when one person tells you that it exist, and masses of people join that ONE person to confirm that it exists.
That is a singularity of the black hole variety.
Issue -problem guiminer with dual gpu card HD6870x2 powercolor. After creating new worker for the second Gpu, it still doesnt work 0 Mhashes the first gpu at 304 Mhashes clock at 970 Mhz 60% fan speed temp 74 degrees Celsius
flags -v -w128 -a4. Does anybody know how to setup this correctly , so that both gpu´s work at the same time thank you for helping me out.
This is all far too complicated for me. Can't you have a simple link to click on that will look at one's machine and say "yes" or "no"?
How do I buy the beast? Then after I buy, I would probably find a better more efficient system where?
You guys really need to rerun this test using bitminter. I have the GTX 560 TI and I am getting 138 Mhps with that card. Also would really like to see how the new ATI 7xxx series cards perform.
is your 560ti a 448 core version or no? also are you only running 1 card or do you have a sli, tri-sli, or tri-sli with a fourth dedicated physics card?
kinda wonder what my ole x58 rig might pull off with its i7 980X cpu
3x GTX 560Ti 448 core GPU's
lowly 9600GT that is just in there as a dedicated PhysX processor
course I built it with a 1600 watt psu and the system doesn't pull enough juice to really even warm the power supply up LOL
Has anyone considered solar power for the electricity? Take longer to recoup costs, but any analysis?

Philip, also called Philip of Swabia, German Philipp von Schwaben, (born 1178—died June 21, 1208, Bamberg, Ger.), German Hohenstaufen king whose rivalry for the crown involved him in a decade of warfare with the Welf Otto IV.
The youngest son of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, Philip was destined for the church. After being provost of the cathedral at Aachen, he was, in 1190 or 1191, elected bishop of Würzburg. Shortly after the death of his brother Frederick (1191), however, he abandoned his ecclesiastical career. Another brother, the Holy Roman emperor Henry VI, made him duke of Tuscany in 1195 and duke of Swabia in 1196. In May 1197 he married Irene, daughter of the Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelus.
At Henry VI's death in September 1197, his son, the future emperor Frederick II, was less than three years old, and the German princes were unwilling to accept him as king. The princes favourable to the Hohenstaufens elected Philip German king in March 1198. The opposing party, led by Archbishop Adolf of Cologne, elected Otto, a son of Henry the Lion of Brunswick of the rival Welf dynasty, king in June of that year. Otto was crowned at Aachen, the proper place for the ceremony, by Archbishop Adolf. Philip's coronation, by another prelate, did not take place until September 1198 at Mainz.
In the ensuing civil war the Hohenstaufen cause prospered at first. In 1201, however, Pope Innocent III recognized Otto as king and excommunicated Philip. Philip's fortunes were only restored in 1204, by a series of defections from Otto's side, culminating in that of Adolf of Cologne himself. In June 1205, Adolf crowned Philip at Aachen.
The city of Cologne, which, notwithstanding its archbishop, had sided with Otto, was captured in January 1207, and Otto's cause seemed lost. Late in 1207, however, when Philip offered to give Otto one of his daughters in marriage and to enfeoff him with either the duchy of Swabia or the kingdom of Arles, Otto, buoyed by hopes of financial, if not military, support from the kings of England and Denmark, rejected the offer. Nevertheless, a truce was arranged that lasted until June of the following year.
In 1208 Pope Innocent III recognized Philip as king and promised to crown him emperor. Philip, who had mobilized his army at Bamberg in order to move against Otto, was waiting for the truce to expire when he was murdered by Otto of Wittelsbach, count Palatine of Bavaria, to whom he had refused to give one of his daughters in marriage. Eventually his daughters were married: Beatrix the Elder to his old rival Otto, Cunigunda to King Wenceslas of Bohemia, and Beatrix the Younger to Ferdinand III of Castile.
A brave man, Philip was praised by contemporaries for his mildness and generosity.

Anonymous Actress Who Sued IMDB For Revealing Her Age Ordered To Reveal Her Name
from the dig-your-own-hole deptA few months back, an anonymous actress sued IMDB (or rather, Amazon, IMDB's owner) for revealing her age, kicking off several rounds of WTF and some rather more serious discussions about "ageism" in Hollywood. The unnamed plaintiff's case hinged upon the assertion that "because lesser-known forty-year-old actresses are not in demand in the entertainment business, Plaintiff has suffered a substantial decrease in acting credits, employment opportunities and earnings since Defendants' addition of Plaintiff's legal date of birth to the Internet Movie Database."
Whether or not this statement is true is still being debated, but the lawsuit went further, stating basically that the actress in question looked so much younger than her actual age that she couldn't even land roles that asked specifically for 40-year-old women. This presumably was also hotly debated and (more likely) swiftly derided.
Unfortunately for Ms. Whomever, the presiding judge has ordered her to reveal her name in order to proceed with the lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman granted an order to dismiss the plaintiff's case on Friday, pursuant to a rule that requires a complaint to name all parties. Pechman gave the woman 14 days as of Friday to include her real name in the complaint.This is the sort of thing that happens when you try to bury "unsavory" facts: you set yourself up for a full-frontal Streisand. In order for her to collect from Amazon for "breach of contract, fraud, and violations of Washington State's privacy and consumer protection acts," she'll have to give away the only remaining bit of information everyone needs to put 2 and 2 together and come up with "over 40." This leaves her with two choices, neither of which could really be considered satisfactory: drop the lawsuit and retain her anonymity or proceed with the lawsuit as "Actress Over 40 Who is Unable to Land Roles, Thanks to Both 'Ageism' and 'Reverse Ageism.'"
"[W]hile Plaintiff may face public ridicule and embarrassment if she elects to go forward under her real name, the injury she fears is not severe enough to justify permitting her to proceed anonymously," Pechman noted in her order.
Judge Pechman realizes the unpleasantness of these choices, but points out that the "unpleasantness" the actress faces from revealing her name is an order of magnitude below the potential "unpleasantness" faced in previous anonymously-filed suits that were allowed to proceed. Pechman quotes from an earlier case that the actress' lawsuit borrows some case language from and compares the two:
The Plaintiff in the present case borrows this language and asserts that disclosing her identity will subject her to "industry blacklisting and loss of livelihood." (Dkt. No. 25 at 7.)Other precedent is cited as well, basically stating that any amount of "discrimination" or "retaliation" as a result of this lawsuit is not severe enough to allow her to proceed anonymously.
However, while revealing Plaintiff's identity may negatively affect her prospects of being hired as an actress, the harm she faces is of an order of magnitude less than the potential harm faced by the foreign garment workers in Advanced Textile Corp. In this case, Plaintiff is not working on a small island where her immigration status is directly tied to her employment. 214 F.3d at 1062. She is not facing eviction from company-owned housing. 214 F.3d at 1062. She faces no risk of deportation or retaliation directed at her family. 214 F.3d at 1062-63. Instead, Plaintiff argues she faces "new-age harms" such as "cyber bullying." (Dkt. No. 25 at 7.) While the economic harms she alleges may be real, Plaintiff present no evidence that the retaliation she may encounter is at all similar to the truly grave harms plaintiffs feared in Advanced Textile Corp.
The sad thing is that most of the damage being done to her future career options is self-inflicted. If this actress thought her ability to land roles was diminished by IMDB's posting of her real age, it's going to be nothing compared to the fallout of this lawsuit, if she decides to proceed under her real name. Her own complaint makes it clear that there's little demand for actresses her age, despite the fact that she looks much "younger." This leaves potential casting directors in an unenviable position: do you cast her in "age-appropriate" roles, knowing that you'll be subjecting yourself to long conversations with the actress and her agent about how she looks "too young" to play the offered part? Or do you take her youthful claims at face value and cast her in younger roles, hoping that the end result doesn't resemble an episode of Beverly Hills 90210?
Good luck with that.

How great is this!!! I love seeing Brady screwing up like this
A Brazilian website reported yesterday that Tom Brady's girlfriend Gisele Bundchen may be pregnant and, if so, the Pats QB is the father. According to the popular celebrity website Glamurama.com.br , Bundchen would be no more than two months pregnant, but may already have told select friends and family. The brief item was written by Joyce Pascowitch , who's the Brazilian equivalent of the New York Post's Richard Johnson . Brady's agent Don Yee did not return a phone call yesterday, and Bundchen's rep at IMG denied the report. Two weeks ago, Brady's ex-girlfriend actress Bridget Moynahan revealed she's pregnant, and Brady is the father. ( Moynahan's rep had no comment yesterday on the possibility of a Bundchen baby.) Brady, 29, and Moynahan, 36, dated for nearly three years before breaking up in mid - December. Soon after, the two-time Super Bowl MVP began dating the Brazilian supermodel. The pretty pair recently enjoyed five-star stays in Paris, Milan, and Rome, and Life & Style Weekly is reporting that Bundchen also took Brady to meet her parents in Porto Alegre , Brazil. Bundchen, who's dated Leonardo Di Caprio and surfer Kelly Slater , recently told Vanity Fair that she'd like to have children, but she's in no hurry. "I'd be lying if I said [I didn't want a family] -- my parents have been married for 35 years and have six children," she said. "Thing is, I'm just 26 years old, so I have plenty of time."

Watering the Tulips
March 16, 2016
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." –Hebrews 13:2
What is to be the attitude of believers towards immigration? Do we sometimes allow political alliances to steer our theology? Is it possible that cultural elitism has somehow made Christians more self serving and less concerned about our neighbor? All of these are good questions and the Bible may have more to say about this subject that we've ever considered.
"Strangers" in our text verse carries the idea of one that is not from your area. It could mean one from out of town or it could mean one from out of the country. Either way, we are to show them hospitality. The Book of Ruth is a wonderful example of its hero Boaz showing hospitality to Ruth. She declared in Ruth 2:10, "Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?" Boaz takes the role of Kinsman Redeemer in this book – a role that Jesus takes for us. He has the ability and the willingness to redeem Ruth physically. And after he redeems her, she takes her place in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5). What if Boaz would have taken the position that many believers find themselves in today? And honestly, being a citizen of a nation that God Himself established, Boaz had all the more reason to be elitist. Thank God he wasn't.
God addressed the treatment of foreigners in the Law. For instance, "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." (Leviticus 19:33-34). And again, "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt" (Deuteronomy 10:17-19). The Jews were commanded to love foreigners on the basis that God loved them. We should consider that God might sovereignly be bringing a foreigner into contact with the Gospel – a thing he never had in his native land.
Jesus wasn't exactly silent on this issue either. In looking forward to future judgment, Jesus declared that some would be rewarded because "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me" (Matthew 25:35-36). Some at the judgment will question Him as to when they welcomed Him as a stranger. He will answer them, "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me" (Matthew 25:40). By definition, "strangers" are people we don't know. And without a doubt, some are Jesus' "brothers". Our duty is to show them hospitality including, of course, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with them.
In no way is this article meant to be political in nature. On the contrary, this article is meant to show that oftentimes political "common sense" differs from the rather clear teaching of Scripture. Child of God, let us pray that we will all reach out to those in need – both in physical need and spiritual need. Let us follow God's leadership through His Word as it relates to the immigrant.

just got this message on Facebook...........any thoughts?Big Brother Curious about the lifelong friends twist? The truth will be revealed at during the 2-hour live finale Wednesday at 8/7c!Big Brother - Finale Preview! bit.lyThe final three battle it out and face the jury in the two hour season finale of Big Brother.
I know the last few days of BB are always slow.......however I feel like thisyear is the worst or one of the worst. These guys are slugs. They do nothingoh wait....I saw that they did a "little" cleaning today. I don't know howanyone can sleep as many hours as they do. I hope their minds go to mushwhen Hayden and Lane try to compete for final HOH Oh well JMO does anyone else feel this way?
Can I change the topic for just one question? ....After Brit was evicted, one of the posters noted that she didn't mention Nick in her speech. I noticed that too and it wasn't the 1st time she forget to mention him. I don't think there is a Nick. Is anybody else curious about how tight Lane and Brit really are? How motivated is she there in the jury house?
I just want to bash a little on enzo.....he brings up the fact that he made up the name brigade for their alliance....hmmmm..I wonder where he got it...he admitted he watched seasons 10 and 11 in sequester.....renegades? he is even derivative in his alliance names....he does not have any original thoughts at all......just wondering if anyone else picked up on that..i.e. how similar renegade ( Dan and Memphis) and brigade are
So do you think Hatden and Lane will take each other to the final 2, or will either of them take Enzo?
Quote from: AlbertHodges on September 13, 2010, 07:39:44 PMSo do you think Hatden and Lane will take each other to the final 2, or will either of them take Enzo?I don't think Hayden would take Enzo, I could see Lane doing it but it seems like Lane and Hayden are closer than they are to Enzo and both fear Enzo would win if he went to final 2. It would really shock me if either one chose Enzo instead of each other.
I don't think whatever happens with Brit and Nick you will see Lane in the picture. I just saw a picture of his ex-girlfriend Kristy, her professional name is Shay Sweet and she is a porn star. So when he said Britney wasn't his type he was not kidding.Hmmm another piece of the puzzle with our boy Lane.
This season of Big Brother has been mostly void of the racism, bigotry, and slurs weve seen on so many previous seasons, aside from unfortunate but typical sexism. However, live feed watchers report that there has been some awfulness this week from Lane Elenburg, and while he was called on his behavior by Enzo Palumbo, Enzo has previously used misogynistic language.
I just read an interesting article from Andy Dehnart at reality blurred.He is commenting on the recent language choices by Lane and Enzo....My live feed watching has been curtailed this week due to work...did we hear this? I have found Enzo to be exceedingly foul mouthed and vulgar this season, Lane also but less so. But I have been occasionally concerned that he sometimes seemed to take his rough-housing with Britney too far...Anyway, would like to know what all of you think?Lane uses gay slur, laughs at suggestion 8 second game is rape; Enzo used c-wordBig Brother 12 by Andy Dehnart / September 12, 2010, 1:16 PMQuoteThis season of Big Brother has been mostly void of the racism, bigotry, and slurs weve seen on so many previous seasons, aside from unfortunate but typical sexism.

even Jordan Lloyd said the same thing yesterday on her talk show with chelsia and she was last years winner!!
I have been watching Jeff in the clips of ATWFF, and he is so beyond the group we have left here, nice manners, great personality, good looks and humble. I am so glad he went on to other things. I feel sure this group will be disappointed as we can barely stand to watch them now.I am worried about what an allstar BB would look like, since AG seems so fond of Jesse and Enzo.
Will, I agree with you! We need someone who loves the show as much as we do.This year the pandora's box, and saboteur gimmicks were out of control. I had a hard time rooting for anyone. I can't remember a season where they begged for freebies so much either.Thank goodness the finale is tomorrow. I don't know if their heads would fit through the door much longer.How many times do you think we will have to hear the word BRA-GADE tomorrow!

WOWSA Performance of the Year Nominee 1400K Swim Across Tunisia (Tunisia) – Swimmer of Peace and Bridge Builder
Initially his 1400K stage swim was a solo effort, but Nejib has developed friends and supporters along the way.
With growing media support, swimmers from all over the Middle East are now interested in carrying on his vision on, for a more peaceful and promising future. The organizer of the Dialog Across The Seas and an English Channel swimmer, Nejib is moving full steam ahead, swimming from the west to the east.
Through the force of his humble yet forceful personality, his vision of peace is growing larger and inspiring more and more swimmers and non-swimmers alike. For his difficult stage swim, its complicated logistics and his ambitious open water swimming plans across borders in the midst of turmoil, Nejib Ben Messaoud Belhedi's Nejib Ben Messaoud Belhedi is a worthy nominee for the 2011 World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year.
For more information on Nejib Ben Messaoud Belhedi, visit here.
WOWSA aims to promote open water swimming as a global sport for those of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. It hosts the World Open Water Swimming Awards to recognize the open water swimming's heroes and heroines.

Nejib Belhedi is an exceptional case of champion in Tunisia (and probably beyond). He's all humanism without borders to which the sea has been both craddle and space. He really deserves... 1400 medals and acknowledgements for his ever vibrating aspiration for the better, for a better world where its peoples are full-bridged.ReplyDelete

Dear Mr. Nejib BELHEDI,ReplyDelete
I feel proud, as a Tunisian Citizen, after the Kick Off of the Arab Spring launched by our country, to see you leading the swim for peace initiative.
In another hand, as an environmental actor in Tunisia, especially in Water Treatment and Remediation, I see in your activity a promotional fact for preserving our beaches.
In this way, I will always support you, and I have already started by :
- Promoting your vote in facebook, Twitter and linkedIn
- Sending more than 1000 E-mails to make my Tunisian and International friends to vote you.
I hope you all success as well as for our country.

The Other Shore follows world record holder and legendary swimmer Diana Nyad as she comes out of a thirty-year retirement to re-attempt an elusive dream: swimming 103 miles non-stop from Cuba to Florida without the use of a shark cage. Her past and present collide in her obsession with a feat that nobody has ever accomplished. At the edge of The Devil's Triangle, tropical storms, sharks, venomous jellyfish, and one of the strongest ocean currents in the world, all prove to be life-threatening realities. Timothy Wheeler's documentary brings Diana Nyad's extraordinary adventure to life as Diana sets out to prove that will and determination are all you need to make the unimaginable possible.
2014 Open Water Swimming Almanac
An Almanac for Open Water SwimmingAn almanac is essentially a body of knowledge which is so complete that it enables people in different fields to make predictions about the future of their respective industries.
This, for example, was the purpose of the traditional farmers almanacs. It enabled farmers to determine as accurately as possible which crops to plant for the greatest harvests in a given year.
But the farmers almanac was just one example among many.
There are, of course, many different kinds of almanacs.
In fact, there is even one for open water swimming...

The trends are very clear.
The tide is rising for open water swimming.

John R. Christy
Learn more from the Center for Media and Democracy's research on climate change.
John R. Christy is a meteorologist at the University of Alabama Huntsville and a climate skeptic; he is closely associated with Roy Spencer with whom he collaborated on the George C. Marshall Institute Roundtable discussion on climate change in April 2006.
John Christy has an evangelical background, he served four years as a bivocational mission-pastor in Vermillion, South Dakota.
From ExxonSecrets: "PhD University of Illinois, 1987, Atmospheric Science; M.S. University of Illinois, 1984, Atmospheric Science; M.Div. Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, 1978; B.A. California State University, Fresno, 1973, Mathematics"[1]
Climate views
In a 2007 editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Christy wrote: "I see neither the developing catastrophe nor the smoking gun proving that human activity is to blame for most of the warming we see." [2]
"Christy was a contributing writer to "Global Warming and Other Eco-Myths," published by Competitive Enterprise Institute in 2002. He spoke at a June 1998 briefing for congressional staff and media, which was sponsored by the Cooler Heads Coalition."[1]
The website of the late Dr. Stephen Schneider delivers a potent analysis[3] of Dr. Christy's stances on the distinction between anthropogenic and natural climate change.
2003 AGU statement
It may seem perplexing that Christy was a co-drafter of the 2003 American Geophysical Union position statement on climate change, which concludes that "Human activities are increasingly altering Earth's climate, and... natural influences alone cannot explain the rapid increase in surface temperatures observed during the second half of the 20th century."
But Christy noted that this statement "did not put forth a magnitude of the warming. We just said that human effects have a warming influence, and that's certainly true. There was nothing about disaster or catastrophe. In fact, I was very upset about the latest AGU statement [in 2007]." [4]
Track record - satellite temperature data
"John Christy and Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama published a series of papers starting about 1990 that implied the troposphere was warming at a much slower rate than the surface temperature record and climate models indicated..."; but the discrepancy turned out to be an artifact of their having applied incorrect adjustments to their UAH satellite temperature record data.[5], [6]. As Ray Pierrehumbert at RealClimate put it:
"Spencer and Christy sat by for most of a decade allowing — indeed encouraging — the use of their data set as an icon for global warming skeptics. They committed serial errors in the data analysis, but insisted they were right and models and thermometers were wrong. They did little or nothing to root out possible sources of errors, and left it to others to clean up the mess, as has now been done[7]"

A vegetable garden is not complete without zucchini or other summer squash. And with the nutritional benefits, it is no wonder that summer squash is one of the most planted vegetables in a home garden.
A vegetable garden is not complete without zucchini or other summer squash. And with the nutritional benefits, it is no wonder that summer squash is one of the most planted vegetables in a home garden.
According to the Phelps County MU-Extension nutrition specialist, Bethany Schindler, "All varieties of squash and zucchini are good sources of vitamin C which is an antioxidant that may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Vitamin C also plays a critical role in protecting our skin from bruising, helps heal cuts and helps our body absorb iron."
But, as Ozark vegetable gardeners know, successfully growing squash can be difficult at times due to the ever common insect pest, Anasa tristis, commonly known as the squash bug.
Since this is the time of year when squash bug adults emerge from overwintering in nearby plant debris and soil, now is a prime time to start considering control methods to protect your summer squash plants from infestations of this destructive insect.
Implementing a few preventative steps to limit squash bug populations will assist you in successfully growing cucurbit crops in your home garden.
This "bug" feeds on plants in the Cucurbit family including pumpkins and summer and winter squash.
Adults and immature nymph squash bugs feed on every above ground part of the plant, and can be a persistent insect pest year after year in a home garden.
Squash bugs use their piercing mouthparts to rob the plant of nutrients and water, often causing damage to the xylem vessels of the plant (used for water uptake), causing wilt and death of the leaf or vine above the wound.
"Controlling Squash Bug Populations"
You will hear this term a lot from me and other horticulturalists, but when managing insect or pathogen pests, it is important to have a good Integrated Pest Management plan in place, that is one that includes combination of control methods, including preventative steps to limit infestations during the summer growing season.
Although there are some insecticides which can be effective in controlling immature squash bugs, the adults are somewhat resistant, or at least they scatter quickly to avoid being sprayed by the insecticide.
Therefore, it is important to use other methods of control along with chemicals to successfully battle their population numbers.
But if chemical insecticides, such as permethrin are used, it is recommended that they be applied to the underside of leaves as well as to the soil area a foot or two around the base of the plants.
Since adult squash bugs overwinter in plant debris and in the soil, a second preventative pest management step is to remove all plant debris from the garden or till the debris into the soil after the season is over in the fall.
To prevent soil erosion a cover crop such as crimson clover could be planted.
Crop rotation is an important step in the integrated pest management plan; the more seasons between planting the same plant family crops in the same plot the better.
Although this will not eliminate the pest as they can travel from other sites, it may limit the severity of the infestation. We recommend separating the new planting site as far away from where the cucurbits were planted last season as possible.
When planting on a new site where squash was not present the previous year, individual plants or rows can be protected by using row covers.
These row covers must be securely fastened and sealed to prevent the insects from crawling under the fabric. For proper pollination, row covers must be removed briefly when the plants are flowering.
Keeping plants healthy with proper fertilizer application and water is also an important part of pest management; stressed plants are susceptible plants.
This supports one of the Phelps County Master Gardeners, Linda Taylor's observation that, using drip irrigation systems has seemed to help limit squash bug damage at her garden.
With all the nutritional benefits of home grown zucchini and squash, it is important to keep control of squash bug populations so that you as a home gardener can harvest a bountiful crop throughout the season.

I. Parmenides and the Problem of Change
In pre-Socratic Greek philosophy, Parmenides reasoned that change (like rivers running, wind blowing, sun burning) does not occur. He divided the world into two: things either exist, or they don't. Anything that is already is, and anything that does not exist cannot cause anything. So change does not occur in spite of what our senses tell us.
II. The Solution to Parmenides - Aristotle
Aristotle solved the problem by further dividing what exists into actual and potential. If something is actual, then it is real. An actual block of ice, for example. However, that thing could potentially be different. It is potentially on the floor, potentially on the table, potentially broken in two, potentially a puddle of liquid, and so on. So when we speak of change, we can say that something's potential became actual.
III. Two Different Causal Series
Consider a chain of causes: A causes B, and then B causes C. This chain stretches "back" in time and could in theory have been going for an infinite amount of time. For example, a chicken laying an egg, which then hatches and becomes a new chicken, which lays an egg, and so on. This is called an accidentally ordered series. Since the past is an example of an accidentally ordered series (the past doesn't need to be around anymore to make the present work), it is for this reason that Aquinas didn't think it could be proven that the universe had a beginning.
Now consider a chain of causes, where A directly causes C, but it is passed through intermediate member B, which can only "pass it along" from A. A is the only one doing any work. B has no power to cause C. For example, consider a hand moving a stick moving a rock. The stick can only pass along the motion from the hand to the rock; it can't move the rock itself. This chain stretches "down" in the present. It can't be an infinitely long chain, because then there would in effect be no A and nothing would be happening to C (if the chain of sticks were infinitely long, then there would be no hand, which is the only one doing any work). This is called an essentially ordered series.
IV. Premise 1 of the First Way: Some things are changing
Things around us are having their potentialities actualized. The "actual ice/potential liquid" melts and becomes "actual liquid/potential ice."
The first premise is: some things are changing.
V. Premise 2 of the First Way: Whatever is changing is being changed by something else
A potential is merely a potential, and not actual. A potential ice cube cannot make your drink frosty cold. Since a potential is not actual, it cannot make itself actual.
So it must be made actual by something else that is actual. The actual cold air in the freezer, for example, is needed to make the potential ice (actual liquid) into actual ice. If that thing is having its potential actualized too, then it must also be changed by something else that is actual. For example, actual electricity must make the potentially running freezer actually run. And so on in a chain.
So the second premise is: whatever is changing (whatever is a mix of potential & actual) is being changed by something else.
What About Quantum Mechanics?
Doesn't quantum mechanics show that a potential can make itself actual, such as when an atom undergoes decay, or when virtual particles pop into existence? There are three reasons why this objection will not work:
- QM merely describes behavior; it does not explain the occurrence of that behavior.
- Causality includes electromagnetism, a billiard ball knocking into another one, sunlight causing plant's to grow, situations causing rational agents to act, and so on. Only if causality reduces down to a crude model of one billiard ball knocking into another one could QM provide some reason to think the principle of causality is false.
This chain cannot be infinitely long, because it is an essentially ordered series. There must be a member at the head that is actualizing the whole chain (remember the hand moving a stick moving a rock, or the laser example in the diagram above). In the example so far, it would be somewhere in the coal at the power plant.
In the example so far, it would be somewhere in the coal at the power plant:
That driving agent can be either A) just potential, B) a mix of potential and actual, or C) just actual.
(A) is logically incoherent; nothing can be just potential with no actual existence. If it were (B), then it would not be the required first member of the chain, because per premise 2 above it would require something else to change it. So, the first member must be (C): just actual, with no potentials at all.
VII. Attributes of Pure Actuality
These are the attributes of something that is purely actual, with no potentials:
- Matter/energy are changeable, and hence are a mixture of potential and actual. Therefore, an agent of pure actuality is incorporeal.
- Things composed of matter and form and actual and potential are varying levels of complexity, but an agent of pure actuality has no parts, no matter, and no form, and thus is extremely simple.
- The only way to tell the difference between two things is if one thing has an attribute that another lacks. With two different beings, one is to the left (say), and one is to the right. The one on the left is potentially to the right, and vice versa. Both are hence mixtures of potentiality and actuality. But an agent of pure actuality by definition has no potentialities, and thus lacks nothing, and therefore every agent of pure actuality is really the same one agent. There is only one agent of pure actuality, and thus it has unity.
- An agent of pure actuality cannot come into or go out of existence, as these are potentialities being realized. Thus, an agent of pure actuality is eternal.
- An agent of pure actuality cannot change from one state to another, and so it is immutable.
- Being the source of all change in the universe, and the source of any change that could ever logically occur, an agent of pure actuality is omnipotent.
- This one is a bit tricky and really requires an understanding of the entire Thomistic system to do it justice, but a purely actual agent is the source of all change and everything that could ever happen or will happen. As shown in the Second Way as well, the purely actual agent is the source of the continual existence of everything. Thus it is the grounding of every true proposition. Therefore, it doesn't have knowledge, but it is knowledge itself. As Aquinas would say, it is only intelligent in the analogical sense, like saying that love is blind and Ray Charles is blind, but not in the univocal sense, like saying that stop sign is red and the firetruck is red. So, in the analogical sense, a purely actual agent is omniscient.
- A being of pure actuality cannot be made to change, as that would meant that he was mixture of potential and actual. So the agent is also impassable.
- Thomism includes the view that evil is a privation of good. "Goodness" on this view does not mean just "a nice guy", but rather "goodness" is synonymous with being, or existence. The dog that is missing a leg is suffering from evil because he lacks something: his leg. But an agent of pure actuality, or existence itself, does not by definition lack anything and is therefore wholly good.

This is really stepping out of the box for me. This outfit and the double split outfit that I wore a month or so ago. I'm the type of girl that either shows off legs or shows off some cleavage (not like I have a lot). But now that I have been working very hard to get my ideal body, I think it's perfectly fine to once in a while show off my hard work. This dress is from PLNDR.com , this company is very similar to Karmaloop, which sells designer brands items for half the price. Not only is the design unique but the patter is lovely as well. Perfect for those warm summer days. Another alternative to wearing this is with a floppy hat or any other type and some sandals.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week.
XO, Cari

Mr. Bean Crashes Incredibly Expensive, Ugly Sports Car
The Telegraph is reporting that Mr. Bean, officially known as Rowan Atkinson, has crashed his $1 million, very purple, and apparently very fast McLaren F1 sports car in Britain. Thankfully he's okay after suffering a minor shoulder injury, but his car burst into flames after slamming into a tree. But seriously, look at that thing.
