That Your Prayers May Not Be Hindered …
There are ways live that hinder prayers and there is a way to live that helps prayer.
There are ways live that hinder prayers and there is a way to live that helps prayer.
No believing prayer is in vain. Ever.
You cannot worship and glorify the majesty of God while treating his supreme creation with contempt.
The power to love comes through hoping in God.
Long for the pure milk of the Word. Do not settle for spiritual fatalism. It is not God's will for you.
We lead by example not just when we succeed, but also when we fail.
Jesus told four churches that he had something against them, but that not everything they did was in vain.
Are the sacrifices we offer spiritual sacrifices?
No human can thwart the purposes of God, neither by belief nor unbelief.
You will not be asked to live tomorrow on today's strength. The mercy to carry you through this hour is given in this hour.
If we hold fast to an unforgiving spirit, we will not be forgiven by God.
How do we get what we need to forgive those who sin against us?
If we are saved by Christ's death, what does his resurrection add?
God made us who we are to show the world who he is.
Elders must lead the church in times of blessing and of refinement.
All the commandments are full of promise, but God goes out of his way to emphasize that of honoring mother and father.
The two greatest issues in life are how the soul of man might not be destroyed and how the glory of God might not be belittled.
The aim of life—including our social and political life—is to live to God.
Radical Christianity, real Christianity, makes a difference.
A truth stripped of God is not a whole truth and will not guide the church well.
Jesus died for us to make us like him.
Paul lived by faith in future grace. And therefore he blessed all his churches over and over again with future grace.
Those married to unbelieving husbands should be like the holy women of old and hope in God. In fact, we all should.
The primary purpose of small groups is to help each other maintain the full assurance of faith.
Jesus shines bright when our hope is meek, fearless, well-defended, and zealous for good deeds.
The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Let's follow him.
The Great Commission will not be completed without suffering.
What did Peter mean when he wrote that the end of all things is at hand?
The Great King keeps his finest wine in the cellar of affliction.
Great affliction + deep poverty + abundant joy = great generosity.
When the Chief Shepherd comes, he is going to call elders to account and say, "Did you feed my sheep?"
Humility is what we need if we hope to find rest in the promises of God.
If God called you to his glory, he's going to get you to his glory.
Perishing means wrath; it means fiery torment; it means separation from God; and it lasts forever.
There is a God. He has a Son. He loves. And he loves the world.
Believe on Jesus and you shall not perish but have eternal life.
Why does eternity exist? It exists because it will take that long for us to know the inexhaustible glories of God.

He has to make people miss and he's not doing that.
With all due respect, youre wrong. He made several people miss today. Its not something I think, its something I know. I witnessed it. Hopefully it is posted on the other site I visit and Ill gladly link it here. CJ made people miss on several occasions today.
Frustration sets in with people and CJ is an easy scapegoat. No back in the league will run well behind this line.

Hi, today I'm going to talk about Martin Luther King Jr. Martin is also known as M.L. Martin was a brave man. He believed that words beat guns. Martin's dad is Martin Luther King Sr., His mom is Alberta King,his brother Alfred Daniel Williams King, his sister Willie Christine King,and his other sister Sen Feng King.Martin lost his life by fighting for fair laws. King spoke a speech at Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963. Sadly on April 4, 1968 (age 39) he was assassinated by James Earl Ray. I think Martin Luther King Jr. is a strong man. If he was a alive he would be a very special man. Even though he's gone he's a hero to many people. But Martin did a very brave thing. -Gurleen ☺

Fabbiha -- The smile that was one in a million
Article posted January 27, 2011 at 10:27 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 932
Ever wonder why The Mona Lisa painting is so famous? Well, I did too. Until I came across a book based on The Mona Lisa . Leonardo Da Vinci made thousands of paintings. Nature, Animals, Portraits, and many more. They were good, and maybe famous. But The Mona Lisa painting was very famous, all over the world, she was, is, and forever will be the greatest paintings of all times. But why is she so famous? Yes, it is the smile, but there's a huge secret behind the smile. It's part of why The Mona Lisa is so famous. Leonardo Da Vinci was born in Italy. And of course, the painting was done in Italy too. But it was so great that it was taken to France, and held at The Grande Gallery Of The Louvre Museum. But, anyways lets get back to the secret. As you know, The Mona Lisa painting was kept at France, until somebody, came to the Louvre and STOLE the painting! He thought that Leonardo is from Italy, the painting should be brought to Italy. So, he took it there. And sold it to some people. Well, at least he tried to. The police came to take the painting, but, instead of taking the painting. They took the thief to jail! They knew that the painting was from France, and that he stole it from the Grande Louvre! So, that's part of the reason why The Mona Lisa is so famous. Leonardo was glad he created the PAINTING HE CALLED….

In class we read a book called "Three Cups of Tea". This book is about Greg Mortenson, a man who is helping many children in Pakistan and Afghanistan by building schools for them.
Now, he has an organization, the CAI ( Central Asia Institute) who is helping build the schools, but at the beginning not many people helped him with donations, but some of the first who did were children, they were collecting pennies. That is what my class is doing.
Three days ago, we shared our idea of collecting pennies to donate for the Pennies for Peace organization ( an organization that collects pennies to donate for the CAI) with our school. We were talking about how some children in Afghanistan and Pakistan don't have a school and a teacher, because they can't afford one. Today, we have a jar full of pennies for Pennies for Peace, and we are still collecting more.

Darkness and light work together in strange ways. The darkest astronomical objects, for example, are black holes -- dense objects with such powerful gravity that not even light can escape from them. Yet black holes power the brightest objects in the universe: quasars.
A typical quasar is hundreds of times brighter than our entire galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars. Yet all this light comes from a region that's no larger than our solar system.
A supermassive black hole sits at a quasar's center. Although the black hole itself emits no light, material falling into the black hole is heated both by friction and by the black hole's gravity. Because this material is so hot, it shines profusely.
The brightest quasar in Earth's sky is in the constellation Virgo. You can see Virgo's brightest star, blue-white Spica, rising above the Moon late this evening.
The quasar is known as 3C 273. Through a telescope, it looks about as bright as Pluto. But while Pluto is just a few billion miles away, 3C 273 is two billion light-years away.
To put that in perspective, imagine that a faster-than-light spacecraft could zip from Earth to Pluto in just one second. At that same speed, the craft would require more than a thousand centuries to reach the quasar.
We can see this distant object only because it's fantastically bright -- a tremendous display of light from the heart of darkness: a supermassive black hole.

Rob Portman on Homeland SecurityRepublican Jr Senator; previously Representative (OH-2) | |
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Smith, R-TX]: America is safe today not because terrorists and spies have given up their goal to destroy our freedoms and our way of life. We are safe today because the men and women of our Armed Forces, our intelligence community, and our law enforcement agencies work every single day to protect us. And Congress must ensure that they are equipped with the resources they need to counteract continuing terrorist threats. On Feb. 28, three important provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act will expire. These provisions give investigators in national security cases the authority to conduct "roving"
wiretaps, to seek certain business records, and to gather intelligence on lone terrorists who are not affiliated with a known terrorist group. The Patriot Act works. It has proved effective in preventing terrorist attacks and protecting Americans. To let these provisions expire would leave every American less safe.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Conyers, D-MI]: Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows a secret FISA court to authorize our government to collect business records or anything else, requiring that a person or business produce virtually any type record. We didn't think that that was right then. We don't think it's right now. This provision is contrary to traditional notions of search and seizure which require the government to show reasonable suspicion or probable cause before undertaking an investigation that infringes upon a person's privacy. And so I urge a "no" vote on the extension of these expiring provisions.
Status: Passed 86-12
Peace Action, the merger of The Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy (SANE) and The Freeze, has effectively mobilized for peace and disarmament for over forty years. As the nation's largest grassroots peace group we get results: from the 1963 treaty to ban above ground nuclear testing, to the 1996 signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, from ending the war in Vietnam, to blocking weapons sales to human rights abusing countries. We are proof that ordinary people can change the world. At Peace Action we believe...
The ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.
The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Enforcing the 1993 law banning homosexuals in the military"
[As part of the Contract with America, within 100 days we pledge to bring to the House Floor the following bill]:

No US troops under UN command, and restoration of the essential parts of our national security funding to strengthen our national defense and maintain our credibility around the world.

2k and Gearbox have taken over a project that was nearing completion.
The problem is that if this game turned out to be bad, blame couldn't really rest on these two firms but rather 3D Realms.
Now this raises the question, if Duke Nukem Forever turned out to be bad (Unlikely, but not impossible) do you think 2K and Gearbox will try their hand at making a new Duke Nukem game from scratch? Hopefully so, even if DNF turned out to be bad, I would hope that it sells enough to demonstrate that there is still money to be made from the franchise and it carries on.

Centro Cultural del Bicentenario
This excellent cultural center on the plaza has given Santiago a real boost.
This excellent cultural center on the plaza has given Santiago a real boost.
Over 23,000 Argentine naval cadets and officers have trained aboard this 85m sailing vessel, which traveled around the world 37 times between 1899 and 1938. Built in Birkenhead, England, in 1897 at a cost of £125,000, this impeccably maintained ship never participated in combat.
One of Patagonia's premier traveler magnets, El Chaltén, is a small, homely yet fast-growing village set in a pretty river valley. Travelers come here for the extraordinary snowcapped towers of the Fitz Roy range, which offer plenty of world-class hiking and camping along with some of the most stunning mountain scenery you'll ever see.
One of the Congreso area's most striking buildings is this 22-story concrete edifice, commissioned by cotton tycoon Luis Barolo and designed by Italian architect Mario Palanti. Finished in 1923, it was Buenos Aires' highest skyscraper (until construction of Edificio Kavanagh, in Retiro).
The principal historical landmark is this Franciscan monastery and museum, built in 1680. The walls, which are more than 1m thick, support a roof made from Paraguayan cedar and hardwood beams held together by fittings and wooden spikes, rather than by nails.
This museum is housed in the stunning beaux arts mansion called Residencia Errázuriz Alvear (1917), which features such beautiful elements as Corinthian columns and a gorgeous marble staircase inspired by the palace of Versailles. There's also an amazing hall which has a carved wooden ceiling, stained-glass panels and a huge stone fireplace.
A popular weekend destination for marplatenses, this lake offers a bucolic setting and a range of activities, including bird-watching, fishing, water sports, biking, hiking and rock climbing. The area was first settled in 1746 as a Jesuit Mission aimed at rounding up the nomadic tribes of the area – there's a replica of the original chapel by the lake's shore.
The reconstructed pre-Columbian fortification, the pucará, is 1km south of the center across an iron bridge. Its situation is undeniably strategic, commanding the river valley both ways and, though the site was undoubtedly used before, the ruins date from the 11th to 15th centuries.
Dominating the view in all directions along the Chilean border, the snowcapped cone of 3776m (12,388ft) Volcán Lanín is the centerpiece of Parque Nacional Lanín, which extends 150km (93mi) from Parque Nacional Nahuel Haupi in the south to Lago Ñorquinco in the north.
French landscape architect Carlos Thays designed the leafy Plaza San Martín, whose prominent monument is the obligatory equestrian statue of José de San Martín.
This gorgeous colonial-era museum complex rambles with several display rooms, pretty patios and gardens. The Sala General José de San Martín showcases Argentina's battles for independence, while the Sala de Gaucho contains some beautiful mate (a tea-like beverage) ware, horse gear and other gaucho paraphernalia.
Set on 18 hectares in the middle of Palermo, Buenos Aires' Jardín Zoológico is a decent zoo, with many 'natural' and good-sized animal enclosures and over 350 species represented. On sunny weekends it's packed with families enjoying the large green spaces, artificial lakes and, of course, the creatures themselves.
Six blocks southwest of Plaza San Martín, you can't help but notice the lavishly ornamented Cervantes theater. This landmark building dates from 1921 and was built with private funds but was acquired by the state after it went broke in 1926. Its facade was designed as a replica of Spain's Universidad de Alcalá de Henares. The building underwent remodeling after a fire in 1961.
Córdoba's lovely and lively central plaza dates from 1577. Its western side is dominated by the white arcade of the restored Cabildo (colonial town-council building), completed in 1785 and containing three interior patios, as well as basement cells. All are open to the public as part of the Museo de la Ciudad , a block to the south.
Rosario sits on the banks of the Río Paraná upper delta, a 60km-wide area of mostly uninhabited, subtropical islands and winding riachos (streams). It's an area rich in bird and animal life, and even the closest islands feel miles away from anywhere, though you can see the city's buildings looming less than a kilometer or two away.
The region's most famous park is Parque Provincial Aconcagua, home of 6962m (22841ft) Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak outside the Himalayas and a favorite climbing destination. Reaching the summit requires a commitment of at least 13 to 15 days, including acclimatization time.

Koh Chang
The largest and most developed of the 52-island archipelago that became Mu Koh Chang National Park in 1982 is called Koh Chang, or Elephant Island. Most of Koh Chang is mountainous, and there are only a few small beaches. The 30-km-long (18-mile-long) island has only nine villages, a few accessible only by boat. But this little paradise has been the focus of rapid development in the past few years, and the number of resorts is increasing exponentially.

Chemical Burns Oklahoma Occupational Safety and Health Surveillance Program From 1999-2008, 463 persons were hospitalized in a burn center and 125 died as a result of a work-related burn injury. Forty-nine(8%) of these injuries (including one death) were the result of a chemical burn. Chemical burns can be severe and result in a high number of lost workdays. Three-fourths of the chemical burns involved less than 10% of the body surface area, but two people were burned over more than 20% of their body and 17% of patients were hospitalized for 10 days or longer.A 35-year-old worker was sprayed with nitric acid from a ruptured hose. He did make it to a safety shower, but did not remove his shirt immediately. He suffered burns to 10% of his body and was hospitalized five days. A 29-year-old male who was self-employedsustained burns to both his ankles from dry concrete that fell down his boots while he was working. The concrete remained in hisboots for several hours. He was hospitalized five days. A 33-year-old male fell into an alkaline cleaner (140 degrees) for approximately 10 seconds when the grate he was standing on at work broke. A 33-year-old male working as a general laborer died after a piece of equipment disconnected and sprayed pressurized liquid propane/butane for about 3-5 minutes. The propane/butane was extremely cold and sprayed him until his foot could be freed. A 60-year old female was stripping floors at work when her knees began to burn from thechemical. She was hospitalized 10 days. A 33-year-old male oilfield worker was using hydrofluoric acid to clean a rig. He was wearing soft, low-grade gloves and the acid leaked through, burning his fingers. A 59-year-old male was working as a team leader for a sanitation crew and had nearly 20 years of experience. He was using phosphoric acid to clean large dipping tanks, and when he added the acid to the water it caused a rapid boiling effect and spilled onto him. He was burned over 14% of his body and was hospitalized for 11 days. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Provide appropriate training to employees working with potentially hazardous materials. Ensure that employees wear proper personal protective equipment (e.g., goggles, gloves, clothing). Remove contaminated clothing and promptly irrigate chemical burns that occuProperly maintain equipment containing chemical substances. Keep floors clean, dry, and free of clutter. Properly store all chemical agents. Consult the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards for specific exposures. r.

"I Am BioLogos"
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"I see BioLogos as an invaluable resource for parents who want to help their children grow as thoughtful, faithful Christians who make a real difference in today's world."
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
My goal in leading this organization for these past three and a half years has been to lay the groundwork to help my fellow evangelicals see that the conflict between our faith and mainstream science is not as great as they thought it was. In the process, my thinking has been significantly shaped by listening to people who think differently than I do
Part of BioLogos mission is to show how all things hold together in Christ—to show how a Christian worldview integrates the knowledge we have of God through the Scriptures with the knowledge we have of God through the other areas in which He reveals himself as Creator and Redeemer.
Throughout my various conversations with fellow believers, the most-mentioned anxiety over accepting an evolutionary creationist paradigm is the fear of losing the Bible as one's spiritual anchor and source of authority.

Going Rogue is the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir from Sarah Palin, one of America's most beloved and controversial political figures. Now with new material, Going Rogue offers plain talk from a true American original about her life, her career, and the future of the country she loves.
Sarah Palin grew up in Alaska towns, from Skagway to Wasilla to Anchorage, while her dad taught science and coached high school sports. She and her future husband, Todd Palin, graduated from Wasilla High School in 1982, and she went on to earn her college degree from the School of Journalism at the University of Idaho. Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council, then two terms as the city's mayor and manager, and was elected by her peers as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. She then chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. Palin was elected Alaska's youngest, and first female, governor, serving from 2006 to 2009. While serving her state she was tapped as Senator John McCain's running mate in 2008, becoming the first female Republican vice presidential candidate in our nation's history.
The Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children, including a son in the U.S. Army, and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Don't need a full size car? Lee man can build a size three-quarter
Monday, August 20, 2012
LEE — Dick Mills, at various times in his active life, has been a successful stock car driver, talented artist, businessman and one of the unique car builders around. Describing him as creative, innovative and a master craftsman seems like a gross understatement.
Mills isn't an engineer, but the work on this unique car required the knowledge and talent one only expects from a team of professional builders. But, he did it solo. One example of his innovation is the car's gasoline tank. It's made from a 16-gallon plastic bin similar to those used for household recycling. The car is powered by a four-cylinder Mustang engine turning out 135 horsepower with a nine-inch Ford rear end. The result is a lightning fast, 1200-pound car— once at 105 mph. The rest of that story can't be told at the risk of endanger a couple of careers.
"One guy can do a lot, and quicker, than a bunch of guys who have to talk everything over," notes Mills. He explained during his stock racing days, local mechanics driving $200 junkyard cars with half-blown engines were frequently winning races against teams with thousands of dollars in resources because of individual ingenuity versus the committee approach. Mills has built or customized over 100 cars in his career, including a 1940 Ford Standard convertible. That car was made from parts left over from a customization. That car created a bit of a flap at a Detroit car show featuring old Fords because the Ford company never built a 1940 convertible on the standard model. It had Ford executives shaking their head in wonder for a while. Delving into the construction of the three-quarter size car reveals some of Mills' innovation. A photo accompanying this story shows the interior of a car door. The frame was made from the cores of paper-towel rolls, fiberglassed. Hinges for the hood had to be custom handmade, as did latches for the convertible top, because off-the-shelf components wouldn't fit. Mills also has a three-quarter size Mercury woody beach wagon, made from many of the same molds. That's a very unusual car because Mercury never made a 39 woody beach wagon—but the one Mills had is his version of what one would have looked like. But, he doesn't confine his time just to cars—he's got what he believes is the largest vinyl record collection in New England and most likely in the country, totaling over one million, by his count. Think you can stump him? Give him a call and see if he can't find you a vinyl disc by one of your oldies music legends. My money's on him having it. Dick is still working full-time at his truck lettering business, along with the occasional sign and his favorite hobby, pinstriping a motorcycle or car or even better, creating and freehand painting an original, wild graphic on your vehicle of choice. Dick Mills is a fantastic artist, innovator, engineer—whatever. He's one talented man. He can be reached at 659-5164. |

I got to cute and got misunderstood! Although I was complementing Molly (I didn't know her name), I wanted to know how you all got those Speedtest images like yours above. For the record, hertz that is a snazzy app.
when you complete a test it'll ask you if you want to share your result at the top of the test you'll see the result directly below that you'll see the close button and just below that you'll see a text box with 2 tabs on it tab 1 says URL and tab 2 says Forum click on that one click the copy button now to add it to here click the little earth+chain link just after the text color button and paste the url you copied from speedtest.net click ok and post reply it'll show up as the same as what I have in my post
If you were getting HUGE signal loss you wouldn't be getting the sync speeds you are... can you do an tracert to one of the F@H servers and post up the results
I believe that my cable modem has a problem or Cox does. Occasionally the Online light will start flashing usually for less than a minute. The manual says when the light is off then my internet connection has failed but when it is flashing then the modem is scanning for configuration parameters. I know Cox and probably all ISPs are upgrading to IPv6 and my modem is an old IPv4. That in itself shouldn't be a problem but sooner or later I'm betting I'll have to get a new modem. Many years ago when I signed up with Cox I had a choice of renting or buying the cable modem and I choose to buy it.
How well do the 6 core i7's fold (big -adv, smp)? (PPD) Any better than my i7 960 does now @ (4.2GHZ)?
ive some advice for anyone trying to use hybrid ati + nv in the same system ,its not worth the grief if i fold on cpu + 5870 it ocasionally uses the 240 as the 5870 but is much slower, i didnt notice the last 24 hrs the git, 240's goin in a second dual core il be putting to task later, i know its not much but its a start and may do reasonable ppd ish
Look what was on the porch when I got home today. That will be 2/i7 2600K's and 1/2500K folding for TPU, from me. Retiring the AMD 1090T from folding.
Nice. I switched to smp on one of my i7's about a half hour ago. I could't get a -bigadv wu for over an hour.
Very nice Bill!(run's and checks front door for similar packages). Apparently all the generous souls live in Texas!
Got some more painting on the new house (about another week) and then give us about 7 or 8 days to move in. I will then have everything up and running (folding) again.
There is currently a shortage of -bigadv WUs so if you're not getting anything switch to -advmethods until they've sorted out the issues. http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18763#p187621
Did anyone notice a larger than expected last update? I wasn't even Folding and I got 2,646 for 66 confused:)WU's and I wasn't even Folding.
I have been waiting all day for a -bigadv, even re-installed app. This explains the problem. Thanks Bog. Edit: I was just about to switch to -advmethods when I saw it just started a 6901 WU
Yes I had 189 wu's for 13k Texbill came out the best. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=483453
Just purchased some more ram and a new oem Windows 7 64bit so I can run -bigadv on my i7 920. Should be here Thursday (good 'ol Newegg).
My output is going to drop by about 10k. I upgraded my main machine by replacing the Athlon II x2 240 @ 3.5GHz with a Phenom II 550 @ 3750MHz (a marginal benefit for WCG), and the GTX260 with a Radeon 5870. I then took the 8800GTS and 8800GT out of my server, and replaced it with the GTX260. In short, the 8800GTS and 8800GT are gone, but the GTX260 gets to run uninterrupted now... so a net loss of about 10k.
This apparent correction goes back a long ways. Xbonez got points and he has not Folded since the beginning of May.
I would rec not changing over to the new 275.33 drivers for Folding. Im looking at a 3k drop in PPD right now. Ill see how it does after it finishes this WU and see if its just a bad WU.
If you are running a dedicated folding rig, then you might save some money by using Linux on it. I also see an increase in PPD when running the -bigadv client on Ubuntu compared to windows.

Cloud storage provider Axcient has beefed up its management team with the addition of four new executives.
The hires will help Axcient reach the next level of business as the company breaks out of its startup mode, said CEO Justin Moore, who was named one of CRN's Top 25 Disruptors of 2012.
"We're at that stage where it's time to take the company to the next level. We have a great team in place that has taken us this far. We're looking to next-level leadership to continue that growth curve," Moore said.

Data protection is an industry that has not been "disrupted in decades," Moore said, and having a strong management team is necessary to change the way people store, protect and access their data. Axcient expects to triple its 2011 revenue by the end of the year and has grown nearly 2,500 percent in three years, Moore said.
"We want to double [revenue] again in 2013. The numbers are getting large now, which points to the caliber of people we are able to attract," Moore said.
Joining Axcient are Ken Sims as vice president of business development, Joe Schwartz as senior director of demand generation and direct marketing, Ann Neir as director of sales operations and Joan Morales as director of channel marketing.
Sims comes to Mountain View, Calif.-based Axcient from Dell Kace, where he was vice president of sales in charge of a global sales team of 170. Schwartz and Neir join Axcient from Cisco, where Schwartz was senior direct of marketing for Cisco's Collaboration Software Group and Neir was senior manager of worldwide sales, strategy and planning. Morales joins Axcient from Hewlett-Packard, where he was manager of global channel development and strategy.
"We're adding [Schwartz], who ran WebEx from $45 million to almost $500 million. That's a huge hire. Sims ran worldwide sales [for Kace] from $2 million through the Dell acquisition and continued to run it to $100 million plus in two years. [Neir] is an exceptionally bright and ambitious woman who restructured the entire Cisco cloud sales group and [Morales] has deep channel strategy expertise," Moore said.
The hires bolster Axcient's business and operations team, just a few months after the company brought in Asim Razzaq as vice president of engineering to beef up the technical team and Eric Weiss as vice president of marketing.
"We just came back from our offsite planning meeting and this puts us well on track to be one of the most disruptive companies in the market," Moore said.

P. Winter Activities
Winter Camping Safety
There is magic to camping in winter. It is one of the most advanced and challenging of outdoor adventures. Special considerations for winter camping include the following:
Leadership - In no other camp is the type of leadership as important as in the winter camp. It is vital that a leader be an experienced camper with a strong character.
Equipment - Do not attempt to camp unless completely outfitted. Even if equipment for winter camp is more expensive than for summer camp, Scouts must be adequately clothed, and leaders should ensure that blankets and other equipment are of suitable quality and weight.
Physical Condition - A physician's certificate as to physical ability must be obtained by each Scout before preliminary training begins.
Tips for your next winter camping trip:
Use the buddy system for winter outings. Buddies can check each other for frostbite, make sure no one becomes lost, and boost the morale of the entire group.
Plan to cover no more than 5 miles per day on a winter trek on snowshoes. An experienced group can cover 10 to 12 miles on cross-country skis.
Always allow ample time to make camp in winter, especially if you plan to build snow shelters.
Fatigue encourages accidents. Rest occasionally when building a snow shelter; taking part in crosscountry skiing or snowshoeing; or participating in other active winter sports. Periodic rests also help avoid overheating.
Pulling a load over the snow on a sled or toboggan is generally easier than carrying it in a backpack.
Snow is a terrific insulator. Snow shelters are much warmer than tents because they retain heat and keep out the cold wind. If you have adequate time for building snow shelters, you will spend a much more comfortable night sleeping in them than in a tent.
Snow is the greatest thief in winter, swallowing up small dropped items. Tie or tape a piece of brightly colored cord to small items so they can be seen in snow. Some items, such as mittens, can be tied to larger items, such as a parka, to prevent them from being dropped and lost.
Melting snow in a pot to get water may cause the pot to burn through or may scorch the snow, giving the water a disagreeable taste. Prevent this by adding a cup or two of water in the bottom of the pot before putting in the snow to melt.
Punch a hole in the top of your ice chisel and string a stout cord through it. Before trying to chisel a hole in ice, anchor the cord to something large or too heavy to be pulled through the hole so you will not lose your chisel in freezing water when the ice is penetrated.
Always test the thickness of ice before venturing any distance from the shore. Ice should be at least 3 inches thick for a small group; 4 inches of ice is safe for a crowd. Since ice thickness can vary considerably, it is best to stay near the shoreline of large lakes.
Use alkaline batteries in flashlights. Standard batteries deteriorate quickly in cold weather. Tape the switch of your flashlight in the "off" position until you are ready to use it. This will prevent it from being turned on accidentally while in your pack or on your sled.
Encourage everyone in your group to wear brightly colored outer clothing so that each person will be more visible, especially during severe weather.
Small liquid-fuel stoves are much better for cooking in winter than fires, which are difficult to build with wet wood. Gathering wood that is frozen to the ground also can be difficult, if not impossible. A pressure/ pump-type stove is essential in winter.
Always use a funnel to refuel a stove so you won't frostbite your fingers by accidentally pouring fuel on them. Fuel evaporates at a high rate of speed and quickly removes heat from anything it touches.
Place a stove or fire on a platform of logs or rocks so it will not melt through the snow.
Never light or use a stove inside a tent or snow shelter. A tent may catch fire, and a snow shelter may help lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Neither of these potential mishaps is worth the risk.
A windscreen is essential for using a stove in the winter. Even a slight breeze will direct the heat away from its intended mark.

Winter Sports Safety
Beyond camping, a number of cold-weather activities present challenges to the Scout and leader, such as crosscountry skiing, ice skating, sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and snowshoeing. Essential ingredients for fun include skill training and an awareness of the hazards unique to these activities. Snow conditions, hazardous terrain, special clothing needs, and emergency survival are important issues for a safe and successful experience.
Be sure your winter outdoor activity always follows these guidelines:
All winter activities must be supervised by mature and conscientious adults (at least one of whom must be age 21 or older) who understand and knowingly accept responsibility for the well-being and safety of the youth in their care, who are experienced and qualified in the particular skills and equipment involved in the activity, and who are committed to compliance with the seven points of BSA Winter Sports Safety. Direct supervision should be maintained at all times by two or more adults when Scouts are "in the field." The appropriate number of supervisors will increase depending on the number of participants, the type of activity, and environmental conditions.
Winter sports activities embody intrinsic hazards that vary from sport to sport. Participants should be aware of the potential hazards of any winter sport before engaging in it. Leaders should emphasize preventing accidents through adherence to safety measures and proper technique.
Suitable clothing for the activity and environment should be worn at all times, and equipment should include gloves and helmets when appropriate.
Winter sports activities often place greater demands on a participant's cardiopulmonary system, and people with underlying medical conditions (especially if the heart or lungs are involved) should not participate without medical consultation and direction. For participants without underlying medical conditions, the annual health history and physical examination by a licensed health-care practitioner every three years are sufficient. The adult leader should be familiar with the physical circumstances of each youth participant and make appropriate adjustments in the activity or protection as warranted by individual health or physical conditions. Adults participating in strenuous outdoor winter activity should have an annual physical examination. It is recommended that the medical assessment be performed by a licensed health-care practitioner knowledgeable of the sport and the particular physical demands the activity will place on the individual.
For winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, etc. that utilize specialized equipment, it is essential that all equipment fit and function properly.
When youth are engaging in downhill activities such as sledding, tobogganing, or snow tubing, minimize the likelihood of collision with immobile obstacles. Use only designated areas where rocks, tree stumps, and other potential obstacles have been identified and marked, cleared away, shielded, or buffered in some way.
All participants should know, understand, and respect the rules and procedures for safe winter activity. The applicable rules should be presented and learned before the outing, and all participants should review them just before the activity begins. When Scouts know and understand the reasons for the rules, they will observe them. When fairly and impartially applied, rules do not interfere with fun. Rules for safety, plus common sense and good judgment, keep the fun from being interrupted by tragedy.
Q. Special Precautions
Carbon Tetrachloride
Carbon tetrachloride must never be used in any way in the Scouting program. Even in small quantities, this poison has proved to be so deadly it must be ruled out as a cleaning fluid, a fire extinguisher, a poison for insect killing, and a water-mark detector for stamp collecting.
Flash Floods
It is important to be alert to the possibility of flash floods and take steps to avoid a dangerous encounter with one; they can kill. Pitch your tents on higher ground. During and after periods of heavy rain, stay away from natural streambeds, arroyos, and narrow channels. Always know where you are and how to get to higher ground. Watch for indicators of flash flooding such as an increase in the speed of stream flow or rapid rise in stream level. Experience demonstrates that thread-like streams can become raging rivers in a few minutes or even seconds. Stay out of flooded areas.
Hantavirus is a deadly virus that was first recognized as a unique health hazard in 1993. There are four different strains of hantavirus, and cases have been reported in 30 different states. The virus is most active when the temperature is between 45°F and 72°F
Hantavirus is spread through the urine and feces of infected rodents. It is an airborne virus. A person is infected by breathing in particles released into the air when infected rodents, their nests, or their droppings are disturbed. This can happen when a person is handling rodents, disturbing rodent nests or burrows, cleaning buildings where rodents have made a home, or working outdoors. The virus will die quickly when exposed to sunlight.
Symptoms of hantavirus include fever, chills, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a dry, nonproductive cough. If you suspect that someone has been infected, consult a physician immediately.
A sharp pocketknife with a can opener on it is an invaluable backcountry tool. Keep it clean, sharp, and handy. Avoid large sheath knives. They are heavy, awkward to carry, and unnecessary for most camp chores except for cleaning fish. Boy Scouting has relied heavily on an outdoor program to achieve its objectives. This program meets more of the purposes of Scouting than any other single feature. We believe we have a duty to instill in our members, youth and adult, the knowledge of how to use, handle, and store legally owned knives with the highest concern for safety and responsibility.

Beware of Lightning
The summits of mountains, crests of ridges, slopes above timberline, and large meadows are extremely hazardous places to be during lightning storms. If you are caught in such an exposed place, quickly descend to a lower elevation, away from the direction of the approaching storm, and squat down, keeping your head low. A dense forest located in a depression provides the best protection. Avoid taking shelter under isolated trees or trees much taller than adjacent trees. Stay away from water, metal objects, and other substances that will conduct electricity long distances.
By squatting with your feet close together, you have minimal contact with the ground, thus reducing danger from ground currents. If the threat of lightning strikes is great, your group should not huddle together but spread out at least 15 feet apart. If one member of your group is jolted, the rest of you can tend to him. Whenever lightning is nearby, take off backpacks with either external or internal metal frames. In tents, stay at least a few inches from metal tent poles.
Lightning Safety Rules
- Stay away from open doors and windows, fireplaces, radiators, stoves, metal pipes, sinks, and plug-in electrical appliances.
- Don't use hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, or electric razors.
- Don't use the telephone; lightning may strike telephone wires outside.
- Don't take laundry off the clothesline.
- Don't work on fences, telephone lines, power lines, pipelines, or structural steel fabrications.
- Don't handle flammable materials in open containers.
- Don't use metal objects, such as fishing rods and golf clubs. Golfers wearing cleated shoes are particularly good lightning rods.
- Stop tractor work, especially when the tractor is pulling metal equipment, and dismount. Tractors and other implements in metallic contact with the ground are often struck by lightning.
- Get out of the water and off small boats.
- Stay in the car if you are traveling. Automobiles offer excellent lightning protection.
- When no shelter is available, avoid the highest object in the area. If only isolated trees are nearby, the best protection is to crouch in the open, keeping twice as far away from isolated trees as the trees are high.
- Avoid hilltops, open spaces, wire fences, metal clotheslines, exposed sheds, and any electrically conducted elevated objects.
Rabies Prevention
Rabies has become increasingly prevalent in the United States in recent years, with more than 7,000 animals, most of which are wild, found to have the disease each year, according to statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This viral infection is often found in bats, foxes, raccoons, and skunks. Rabies can be transmitted by warm-blooded animals, including domestic dogs and cats.
Although rabies in humans is rare in the United States, the CDC reports that more than 22,000 people in this country require vaccination each year after being exposed to rabid or potentially rabid animals. States with the highest number of reported cases include New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Maryland, and parts of northern California.
Scout leaders can help prevent exposures by reminding Scouts to steer clear of wild animals and domestic animals that they don't know. If someone is scratched or bitten by a potentially rabid animal, Scout leaders should
- Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water
- Call a doctor or a hospital emergency room
- Get a description of the animal
- Notify local animal control office, police department, or board of health
Rope Monkey Bridges
When constructing monkey bridges, observe the following safety rules:
- Always follow the steps for constructing monkey bridges as outlined in the Pioneering merit badge pamphlet.
- Before beginning the project, inspect your rope, looking at both the inside fibers and inner strands. Know the size and strength of the type of rope you are using, and its safe working load.
- Monkey bridges should not be constructed higher than 5 feet above flat-surfaced ground nor should they be longer than 40 feet. Initially, beginners should not span more than 25 feet.
- Know the effect the knots will have in reducing rope strength and the proper care that rope requires.
- Rope, especially rope carrying a load, should be checked each day before using. Rope carrying a load and left in place tends to become slack from fatigue and will break under stress. Tighten rope as necessary to maintain the integrity of the original construction.
- Exercise special care when members of the public are allowed to use these monkey bridges. Establish controls when monkey bridges are constructed outside the camp environment. Station Scouts at each end to control access to the bridge. Never allow unaccompanied children on the bridge. Shut down the bridge when any repairs are being made and do not reopen until the adult leader has approved the repairs.
- Any activity on rope swings, monkey bridges, slide-for-life, or similar devices that are located over water must comply with Safe Swim Defense.
Reference: Pioneering merit badge pamphlet.
Sun Safety Tips
It is best to be out of the sun between 10 A.M. and 4 P.m. when the sun's rays are the strongest. Be sure and protect yourself and your children by following the tips below:
- Apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors, even on cloudy days.
- Wear protective, tightly woven clothing, such as a long sleeved shirt and pants.
- Wear a 4-inch wide broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses, even when walking short distances.
- Stay in the shade whenever possible.
- Avoid reflective surfaces, that can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's damaging rays.
- Protect children by keeping them out of the sun, minimizing sun exposure and applying sunscreens beginning at six months of age.

Pure Drinking Water
A constant supply of pure drinking water is essential. Serious illness can result from drinking unpurified water. Protect your health. Don't take a chance on using water that you are not sure of. Thermos jugs, plastic water containers, and canteens are all satisfactory for carrying water. Be sure water is dispensed into each person's own drinking cup.
Treatment of Questionable Water
In addition to having a bad odor or taste, water from questionable sources may be contaminated by microorganisms, such as Giardia, that can cause a variety of diseases. All water of uncertain purity should be purified before use. Don't take a chance on using water that you are not sure of. To purify water, follow these steps:
- Filter the water to remove as many solids as possible.
- Bring it to a rolling boil and boil it for a full minute.
- Let it cool at least 30 minutes.
- Add eight drops of liquid chlorine bleach per gallon of cool water. (Use common household bleach; 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite should be the only active ingredient; there should not be any added soap or fragrances). Water must be cool or chlorine will dissipate and be rendered useless.
- Let the water stand 30 minutes.
- If it smells of chlorine, you can use it. If it does not smell of chlorine, add eight more drops of bleach and let it stand another 30 minutes. Smell it again. You can use it if it smells of chlorine. If it doesn't, discard it and find another water source.
- The only accepted measurement of chlorine (or water treatment agents) is the drop. A drop is specifically measurable. Other measures such as "capful" or "scant teaspoon" are not uniformly measurable and should not be used.
In addition to common household bleach, several other types of chemical means to disinfect water are available, such as iodine tables, iodide crystals, and halazone tablets. All of these are acceptable, but some people have an allergic reaction to iodine products. the instructions on the package for proper use.
To treat cold water you must lengthen the contact (sitting) time depending on the water temperature to destroy Giardia that may be present. Very cold water may take as long as four times the normal contact time.
Several types of water purification filters are available at camp stores. The Boy Scouts of America recommends that if you use a water filter, you also chemically treat and/or boil the water and carry extra filter cartridges and spare parts. Among the best water filters are PUR, MSR, Katadyn, First Need, and Sweet Water.
R. Youth Protection and Child Abuse
Child abuse is a tragedy that affects 2-3 percent of American children each year. It has been increasing, and now more than 2.4 million reports of child abuse are received each year.
By definition, child abuse is harm to a child that occurs immediately or through accumulated effects over a period of time. When the harm is caused by withholding life's necessities from a child, it is classified as neglect. The ability to provide such necessities as food, clothing, education, and medical care but failing to do so is the factor separating neglect from the effects of poverty.
Three additional kinds of child abuse are caused by commission of acts against the child-emotional abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse.
Emotional abuse occurs when the child is consistently being told that he is no good and never will be. Denigrating name calling is a form of emotional abuse.
Physical abuse is the bodily injury of a child by the child's parent or caretaker.
Sexual abuse is any sexual activity between a child and an adult or between children when there is an unequal distribution of power, such as when one is significantly older or larger.
Child abuse occurs in every segment of our society. Child neglect, physical abuse, and emotional abuse occur more frequently in undereducated, poorer families, while child sexual abuse is more evenly distributed throughout society.
Because of the great concern the Boy Scouts of America has for the problem of child abuse in our society, the Youth Protection program has been developed to help safeguard both our youth and adult members. Published and videotaped materials have been prepared to give professionals and volunteers information on the resources available for educating our membership about child abuse-how to avoid it, how to identify it, and how to deal with it. These materials and local council training programs are designed to give parents and their children basic information that will increase their awareness and sense of personal power to assist in their own self-protection.
All persons responsible for youth safety must understand and appreciate Scouting's position of zero tolerance for child abuse or victimization in any form.
Hazing and Initiations
All forms of hazing, initiations, ridicule, or inappropriate teasing are prohibited and should not be allowed.
