Bitcoin Currency and GPU Mining Performance Comparison
What is a Bitcoin?
This article looking at Bitcoins and the performance of various GPUs with mining them was really a big team effort at PC Perspective. Props goes out to Tim Verry for doing the research on the process of mining and helping to explain what Bitcoins are all about. Ken Addison did a great job doing through an alottment of graphics cards running our GUIMiner and getting the data you will see presented later. Scott Michaud helped with some graphics and imagery and I'm the monkey that just puts it all together at the end.
** Update 7/13/11 ** We recently wrote another piece on the cost of the power to run our Bitcoin mining operations used in this performance article. Based on the individual prices of electric in all 50 states of the US, we found that the cost of the power to run some cards exceeded the value of the Bitcoin currency based on today's exchange rates. I would highly recommend you check out that story as well after giving this performance-based article a thorough reading. ** End Update **
A new virtual currency called Bitcoin has been receiving a great deal of news fanfare, criticism and user adoption. The so called cryptographic currency uses strong encryption methods to eliminate the need for trust when buying and selling goods over the Internet in addition to a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server that maintains a public record of every transaction to prevent double spending of the electronic currency. The aspect of Bitcoin that has caused the most criticism and recent large rise in growth lies in is its inherent ability to anonymize the real life identities of users (though the transactions themselves are public) and the ability to make money by supporting the Bitcoin network in verifying pending transactions through a process called "mining" respectively. Privacy, security, cutting out the middle man and making it easy for users to do small casual transactions without fees as well as the ability to be rewarded for helping to secure the network by mining are all selling points (pun intended) of the currency.
When dealing with a more traditional and physical local currency, there is a need to for both parties to trust the currency but not much need to trust each other as handing over cash is fairly straightforward. One does not need to trust the other person as much as if it were a check which could bounce. Once it has changed hands, the buyer can not go and spend that money elsewhere as it is physically gone. Transactions over the Internet; however, greatly reduce the convenience of that local currency, and due to the series of tubes' inability to carry cash through the pipes, services like Paypal as well as credit cards and checks are likely to be used in its place. While these replacements are convenient, they also are much riskier than cash as fraudulent charge-backs and disputes are likely to occur, leaving the seller in a bad position. Due to this risk, sellers have to factor a certain percentage of expected fraud into their prices in addition to collecting as much personally identifiable information as possible. Bitcoin seeks to remedy these risks by bringing the convenience of a local currency to the virtual plane with irreversible transactions, a public record of all transactions, and the ability to trust strong cryptography instead of the need for trusting people.
There are a number of security measures inherent in the Bitcoin protocol that assist with these security goals. Foremost, bitcoin uses strong public and private key cryptography to secure coins to a user. Money is handled by a bitcoin wallet, which is a program such as the official bitcoin client that creates public/private key pairs that allow you to send and receive money. You are further able to generate new receiving addresses whenever you want within the client. The wallet.dat file is the record of all your key pairs and thus your bitcoins and contains 100 address/key pairs (though you are able to generate new ones beyond that). Then, to send money one only needs to sign the bitcoin with their private key and send it to the recipient's public key. This creates a chain of transactions that are secured by these public and private key pairs from person to person. Unfortunately this cryptography alone is not able to prevent double spending, meaning that Person A could sign the bitcoin with his private key to Person B, but also could do the same to Person C and so on. This issue is where the peer-to-peer and distributed computing aspect of the bitcoin protocol come into play. By using a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server, the bitcoin protocol creates a public record of every transaction that prevents double spending of bitcoins. Once the bitcoin has been signed to a public key (receiving address) with the user's private key, and the network confirms this transaction the bitcoins can no longer be spent by Person A as the network has confirmed that the coin belongs to Person B now, and they are the only ones that can spend it using their private key.
Keep reading our article that details the theories behind Bitcoins as well as the performance of modern GPUs in mining them!
The privacy and anonymity afforded by the bitcoin protocol has received flak recently due to the currency being used to purchase illegal drugs and other products online. The US government has seen a number of members speak out against the currency because of the illegal drug involvement and taxation implications. However, bitcoin is not the only currency that is used by a number of people for illegal uses, and it is certainly not representative of a majority of illegal usage. Regardless of the relatively small number of illegal uses, the privacy afforded by bitcoin is not inherently a bad thing. As the Internet equivalent to a local currency such as cash, bitcoin is able to facilitate a much higher level of anonymity than other currencies used online. The privacy implications are not only good for those mis-using it for nefarious purposes; it is actually a good thing for legal transactions because sellers do not need to collect nearly as much personally identifiable information in order to trust the buyer enough to go through with the sale. Traditionally, telephone numbers, addresses, financial information, and other personal information has been required in order for even the most mundane transactions over the Internet as sellers needed to protect themselves as much as possible from fraud.

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?

Kashnow spent 18 months in treatment after being wounded by a roadside bomb later that year, however it was his good sense of humor and positive attitude about the ordeal that introduced him to Comedy Warriors, a team of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans who turned to humor for healing.
After hearing there was a team of comedy coaches and comics putting together a comedy tour and movie about offering war vets a chance to get up on stage and tell jokes, he sent in the email and signed up for his first chance to get on stage.
"I never had gotten on stage before, and I didn't think that I had enough material to do my own set," Kashnow said.
Kenshaw said he always had a good sense of humor among his family and friends, however he never thought he would end up telling stand-up, and certainly never be in the same film as comedians like Zach Galifinakis, Bob Saget, B.J. Novak and Lewis Black.
"I'm excited to see the crowds reaction to the film," Kashnow said. "When I'm up on stage, I have a great time with it. I love telling the jokes and I love getting them to laugh at the right spot."
Kashnow joined fellow Comedy Warrior Bobby Henline, comedy coach Bernadette Luckett and John Wager, producer of the film, "Comedy Warriors: Healing Through Humor," for a screening at the Gold Coast International Film Festival at the Great Neck Arts Center, located at 113 Middle Neck Rd. in Great Neck, last week.
Wager said one thing he didn't expect after screening the film at a number of film festivals across the country was the feedback at the post-show question-and-answer session with the comics.
"People hang around after and want to talk to the comedy warriors," Wager said. "We literally had to stop because people weren't stopping the questions an hour and 15 minutes after it was over."
The film, supported by the Wounded Warrior Project, deals with a number of issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and is something Wager says provides a form of coping with often devastating injuries.
"Humor is the best way to heal from whatever you're going through," he explained. "Laughter is the first step to moving on emotionally."

Evaluation of the Reward and Recognition Fund
- Client:
- Defra
- Start date:
- October 2011
- Due for completion:
- November 2015
Brook Lyndhurst with support from Icaro Consulting has been commissioned by Defra to conduct an evaluation of the Household Reward and Recognition Fund for Recycling and Reuse (RRF).
Background to project
The RRF is a support package made available to pilot initiatives run by civil society organisations and local authorities aimed at increasing participation in recycling, reuse and repair activities through reward and recognition schemes to encourage changes in householders waste behaviours.
The fund supports schemes such as community rewards, individual feedback, individual rewards, prize draws, on the go recycling and furniture re-use. For the first round in 2011/12, 16 local authorities and community organisations were funded a total just over £501,000. Following the successful first round, Defra made further funding available for 2012/13 and 15 schemes will be provided with total support of an additional £539,501.
Evaluation methodology
The purpose of this research is to provide monitoring and evaluation support to pilots funded through RRF and to carry out a programme-level evaluation. We will assist the pilots in designing methods to gather robust quantitative and qualitative data to demonstrate their impacts, both in terms of waste behaviour changes and waste tonnage reductions. At the end, we will collate, synthesise and analyse data in order to compare and contrast the different approaches tested.
The proposed methodology has been heavily informed by Brook Lyndhurst's experience in evaluating a number of other funds (including Defra's Environmental Action Fund (EAF) and Greener Living Fund (GLF)), alongside Icaro Consulting's experience evaluating DECC's Low Carbon Communities Challenge (LCCC). Learning from our experiences we have embedded knowledge sharing and reciprocity throughout our method; including site visits, named/paired researcher support, expert and practitioner workshops, and interactive feedback.
Our work plan intertwines the individual scheme evaluation with the programme evaluation as both are guided by an evaluation framework which sets out the study's scope in terms of indicators which can answer the key research questions and objectives. The programme evaluation will make use of primary data gathered by the schemes, and baseline and follow-up site visits with pilot project managers. The monitoring and evaluation support function will focus on obtaining high quality and, as far as possible, comparable data.
The research results will be of interest to waste policy makers and to delivery bodies that work on the ground to promote positive waste behaviours. The research will present the relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different approaches to encouraging positive waste behaviours, and identify the crucial success factors. Findings will assist policy makers in directing future funding to schemes that are most likely to have the greatest impact and will support delivery bodies in refining their method to improve their effectiveness and maximise their impact.
For emerging findings and lessons learned to date have a look at our interim report, available for download in the centre column.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Police officers who responded minutes after the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin could not agree on whether George Zimmerman had a broken nose, but they all said the ex-neighborhood watch volunteer had cuts on his head, according to documents released Thursday.
The severity of Zimmerman's injuries could be important in his claim of self-defense. Zimmerman, 28, is charged with second-degree murder in the February shooting.
Zimmerman was arrested 44 days after the shooting. The delay triggered protests nationwide and the departure of Sanford's police chief.
Martin was black and his parents contend Zimmerman racially profiled him. Zimmerman's family has denied that he is racist. Zimmerman's father is white and his mother is Peruvian.
The documents released offer a description by police officers right after the fatal shooting in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., a suburb of Orlando. One of the first police officers at the scene used a plastic bag to try to stop the flow of blood from Martin's chest wound.
Another officer described Zimmerman as grunting from pain when he was taken into an interview room at police headquarters.
A neighbor who heard shouts outside her townhome told an investigator that "the bigger" of the two men got up after she heard moans for help and then a gunshot. She told the investigator that the lead detective for Sanford police investigating the case had told her, in an attempt to comfort her during an interview, that the person who had been moaning for help was alive and that he was "really beaten up and scratched."
Who cried for help is a point of contention. Martin's family claim it is their son in background of 911 calls neighbors made, but Zimmerman's father has said the shouts for help were his son.
Martin's cousin, in an interview with the investigator, said "without a doubt 'on a stack of Bibles'" that the cries were those of Martin.
Some of the officers who responded to the scene recognized Zimmerman from previous calls he had made to police about break-ins and the thefts in the gated community.
In a call just weeks before his confrontation with Martin, Zimmerman described a man going through trash cans in the neighborhood. When asked by a dispatcher, Zimmerman says he is black.
"He keeps going to this guy's house. I know him. I know the resident. He's Caucasian," Zimmerman said. "He is going up to the house and then going along the side of it and then coming straight and then going back to it. I don't know what he's doing. I don't want to approach him, personally."

Texas, Our Texas....
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
....I just got home from a short trip to Austin. I went down yesterday with my principal, counselor and our Instructional Specialist. My name was 'drawn' from the teachers that give TAKS to tag along and accept an award for the school. It was a good time getting to know the 'new' principal....I feel like I got to know her as more of a person and see a lot of strength I think will be emerging as she gets her feet wet this year as 'The' Principal of the school (we don't have a VP)....we participated in a seminar, and got fed at an awards reception, then we shopped and ate our way home after spending the night. It's rare that teachers get to 'travel,' so it was nice, though I'm pretty tired now....I'm looking forward to at three day week! I also learned a lot about some of the other principals and how they do their jobs....there were some very interesting revelations, and I'm glad to be where I currently am.

They are looking for a competitive edge, a partner that innovates and creates rather than copies and conforms. They are looking for agencies that can help them scale, grow and flourish as the medium continues to evolve.

What's on Opera Colorado's 2013 season?
Opera Colorado's 30th season will feature the return of two audience pleasers, plus the ambitious professional premiere of "The Scarlet Letter."
The sure sellers on the 2013 line up, announced this week, are Charles Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" (Feb. 9-17) and W.A. Mozart's "Don Giovanni" (March 30-April 7). Contemporary composer Lori Laitman's new "The Scarlet Letter" wraps up the season. (May 4-12).

Weekends in May can be busy, with a mixture of graduations, end-of-school preparations and weddings going on. But today, International Family Day, try to take a moment to gather around you those you love, and let them know how much you appreciate them, whether it be a phone call, a high five or a hug.
We'll leave you with an inspirational story of a strong family, sent to us by the CFCA Quezon project.
This is about how Noemi and her family survived the wrath of ìPepeng,î the typhoon that hit Northern Luzon. It was Oct. 8, when the heavy rains and strong winds started to ravage the town where they lived. The familyís small hut was situated on the hill side. The continuous wind and rain made the family nervous and worried, keeping them all awake.
It was midnight when suddenly they heard a roaring sound coming from the mountain. The father cautioned the family to stay close together and to embrace each other, and they prayed. In a minute, they and their hut were being carried by the mudslide coming from the mountain. Even during that time, they never let go of each other. As they struggled against the falling stones and mud, Noemiís mother seriously injured her arms with a piece of bamboo, but she just ignored it: all she cared about at that time was the safety of her children.
When they were able to come out of their hut, they rushed to their relative's house for shelter, waiting for the morning to come.
With the projectís aid and with additional assistance from CFCA, the family was able to rebuild a new house and able to start a new life again. With the familyís strong faith and love for each other, they were able to survive the storm that nearly took their lives.
Noemi is a 4th year high school student who has been sponsored since kindergarten.

382. Gibson Beer.
It sure is nice when you can post about something your friend is doing. Fellow Brandcenter grad and art director Brian Gibson has just brewed a batch of beer as a personal project. He claims that there are laws against shipping some out to Arizona—so I haven't tasted the beer—but I have seen the packaging and it's a pretty handsome set of bottles.
For me, the design achieves something that is often attempted but seldom accomplished. A clean, simple design system that still feels sophisticated and nuanced. I love the different bottles for the different styles and the color palettes for each are perfect. Again, the only thing missing is having a bottle to try out the contents. Good news for you — I believe Brian is looking for a gig, so if you have an opening you might want to invite him to an interview. Maybe he'll bring one of his bottles for you to try out along with his portfolio, which you can view here.
Good work, my man.

About eAbyss
Wait, isn't Steam's DRM scheme the same as EA/Origin's? Sure, Steam allows for local saves with remote caching, but if I unplug my 'net connection, I can't get into my Steam games. To me, that says "online only DRM".
I say all of this as a loyal Steam user. I've bought so much from them over the years, I'm somewhat appalled at how far I have to scroll to look through my library. My point is that /maybe/ online-only SC5 is no big deal after all.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the '"vegetarian gong bao chicken"' tag.
The book: Every Grain of Rice, by Fuchsia Dunlop (Norton, $35)
The recipe: Vegetarian gong bao chicken
Why I tried it: Gong bao ji ding – the standard Gong Bao chicken recipe – was a staple in my household as I was growing up, and it's one of the things I wanted to learn early on when I first started cooking. I wondered if a vegetarian version could hit the spot the same way. And I thought portobellos, the meatiest mushrooms, were probably a pretty good bet as a protein substitute.
Why I loved it: Vinegary, spicy, a little sweet, those gong bao flavors are unstoppable. The mushrooms aren't just a stand-in for chicken – they've got that spongey, chewy texture of their own which I sometimes genuinely prefer. Combined with crunchy shards of peanuts everywhere, I think they're just the cat's pajamas. You will again find me sucking the chiles afterward.
Estimated preparation time: Just over 30 minutes, if you don't lollygag about and if your stove can bring a pot of water to a boil in less than 15 minutes.
Click here for my complete list of 2013 cookbook recommendations. You can also find hundreds of great cookbook recommendations on my app, Cookbook Finder (available for both iPhone/iPad and Android devices).
Vegetarian gong bao chicken
Serves 2 as a main course with rice; 4 if you add a side or two and throw in one more portobello.
When I don't have the potato flour Dunlop suggests, I use corn starch. Also, you can use mushroom soy for the dark soy – same idea.
3 large portobello mushroom caps (11 oz.)
8-10 Sichuanese dried chillies
3 cloves of garlic
An equivalent amount of ginger
5 spring onions, white parts only
About ¾ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp whole Sichuan pepper
3 oz. roasted peanuts
For the marinade:
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ tbsp potato starch
For the sauce:
3 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
¼ tsp potato flour
½ tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp light soy sauce
3 tsp Chinkiang vinegar
Bring a panful of water (about 2 quarts/2 litres) to the boil. Trim the mushrooms and cut into 3/8-3/4 in (1-2cm) cubes. Blanch the mushroom cubes in the boiling water for about a minute, until partially cooked. Drain, refresh under the cold tap and shake dry. Add the marinade ingredients and mix well.
Cut the chillies in half and shake out and discard the seeds as far as possible. Peel and thinly slice the ginger and garlic. Cut the spring onion whites into 3/8-inch sections. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl with 1 tbsp water and mix well.
Heat the oil in a seasoned wok to about 300 degrees F. At this temperature, you should see small movements in the oil, and the surface will tremble slightly. Add the mushrooms and fry for 30-60 seconds until glossy, stirring gently. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain off all but about 2 tbsp of the oil.
Return the wok to the heat with the chillies and Sichuan pepper and sizzle briefly until the chillies are darkening but not burnt and the oil is wonderfully fragrant. Add the ginger, garlic and spring onions and stir-fry briefly until you can smell them. Then return the mushrooms to the wok and stir into the fragrant oil. Give the sauce a stir and add it to the wok, stirring swiftly as it thickens. Finally, stir in the peanuts and serve.

The main thing I like about this application is that it allows integration with other apps, so if there is already some benchmark took out there hardinfo can be used as a single GUI for that and the other tools it already has included. Has anyone else used this tool yet, and if so then do you know of any other similar tools? Here is a link:

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, affecting one in four people (Kessler 2011; Shatzmiller 2012; American Academy of Sleep Medicine 2001).
It is well-known that sleep problems can significantly diminish quality of life. However, many people may not realize that insomnia and short sleep duration correlate with various health problems including cardiovascular disease, anxiety, and potentially cancer (Terauchi 2012; Ohayon 1998; Kakizaki 2008; Verkasalo 2005; Philips 2007). Insomnia also increases mortality in adults (Chien 2010; Hublin 2011).
Despite the dramatic toll insomnia takes on individuals and populations, conventional treatment options remain far from ideal. In fact, in 2012, a well-controlled study revealed an association between popular hypnotic sleep aids, such as zolpidem (Ambien®), eszopiclone (Lunesta®), and temazepam (Restoril®), and a more than three-fold increased risk of death (Kripke 2012).
These alarming findings highlight the need for safe and effective strategies to improve sleep quality, especially since up to 10% of adults in the U.S. use hypnotic sleep aids (Kripke 2012). We should note, however, that those using hypnotic sleep aid drugs often have poor overall sleep quality, which could be the factor causing the sharply increased risk of death. Hypnotic sleep aids are by no means a cure for chronic insomnia.
In this protocol, you will learn about the causes of sleep problems and simple lifestyle changes that can improve your sleep quality (Yang 2010; Lande 2010). You will also discover that some emerging therapies have achieved prolonged sleep quality improvements in studies, with potentially fewer side effects than some popular sleep drugs (Xu 2011). In addition, you will read about several natural compounds that can modulate the biology of sleep and may be safer than some pharmaceutical options.

Talking With Your Children About Your HIV Status or Your Children's Status
May 22, 2018
Table of Contents
When you think about talking to your children about your HIV status or your children's status, you may feel many different emotions. It is normal to feel frightened, anxious, guilty, or overwhelmed. It may help to discuss your feelings with someone you trust, such as a health care provider, counselor, family member, or friend. You may want to talk with that person about how and what you will say. You may also want to share your disclosure (telling someone) plans with those who already know your HIV status, so they will be prepared to give accurate, reassuring, calm responses if your children bring it up with them.
Remember what you already know about your family: how your children learn new information, what your children may already know about HIV, and what feels most supportive to your family. Use this knowledge to decide how to talk about your and your children's HIV status to your family. While there may not be an exact best way to disclose, there are some steps you can take to prepare.
Letting Your Children Know You Are Living With HIV
Telling your children that you are living with HIV can be really hard. It can be helpful to prepare yourself by thinking about how your children will react and what they will want to know based on their age and maturity. You may also find it helpful to talk with other parents who have told their children about their HIV status.
Your children will probably ask about your health. However, their main concern may be what will happen if you get sick. They will most likely need reassurance that they will be taken care of if something happens to you. They may also find it reassuring to know how you will be cared for if you get sick. For more information, see our fact sheet on Making Plans for the Future Care of Your Children.
Children may also want to know how you got HIV and if they might get it too. Depending on their ages, they will have different questions. They may not have any questions at all or ask questions later as they arise. Regardless of when they begin asking questions, it is best not to tell them things that are not true. Lying can damage your relationship with your children and lower their trust in you.
If your children have already learned something about HIV at school or through the media, you can use that as a chance to build on what they already know. Older children or teenagers sometimes learn about HIV in school. Regardless of their knowledge about HIV, children may already suspect something. They may see you taking medications or going to your health care provider more often than some of their friends' moms. If your children already suspect something, they may feel angry that you have kept this from them. Telling them may help them talk about HIV openly.
Let your children know whom they can talk to about your status. Tell them who else you have already told. Be prepared that they might feel disappointed or angry if a lot of people knew before they did. Your local AIDS service organization (ASO) may have a children's or youth group where they can talk with others in similar situations. Your health care provider may also have a counselor who can talk with your children. To find ASOs and HIV services in your area, use POZ's directory (if in the US), or NAM's e-atlas for services worldwide.
Telling Children About Their HIV Status
Before telling your child that he or she is living with HIV, think about why you want your child to know. Perhaps your child has been in the hospital, taking medications, or asking questions. Whatever your reason, make sure that you are okay with your child knowing. If it is not okay with you, your child may sense that, and find it more difficult to be okay with it her/himself.
It is important to have some HIV-related information ready before you begin talking. Look for materials that have an optimistic tone. Children may want to know if they are going to die, how they became HIV-positive, or if they will become sick. It is important to know how you will answer these questions. Also, consider your own feelings about these concerns. You may choose to wait with the conversation until you get some emotional support or talk through the answers to these questions with a friend.
Children need different types and amounts of information depending on their age. Begin with some simple ideas that you think are most important. Very small children may be too young to be told the name of the disease or many details but try to be as honest as possible. You can tell them more and more in age-appropriate ways as they get older and can understand more details.
Young children need information mostly about things that affect them right now. School-aged kids may need some basic information about what to do if they bleed (all children should be taught that it is not a good idea to touch anyone's blood). Teenagers will require more information about how HIV is transmitted and how to prevent this from happening. It is important that all children know they cannot transmit HIV to friends or family through casual contact (e.g., hugging, kissing, using the same toilet).
It may take some time for children to take in the information. Let your children know that they can always speak freely with you. It is important that your children see you as a trustworthy adult so they will feel comfortable coming to you with questions in the future.
Your children may feel isolated, angry, scared, or depressed by knowing their HIV status. It may help if there is someone else to whom they can talk. Even before you tell your child that she or he is living with HIV, you can arrange a support network consisting of heath care providers and trusted family and friends.
While some countries' laws protect people living with HIV from discrimination, you may not want your children to let everyone know their HIV status. You can tell your children that HIV is a private family matter and that you will decide as a family whom to tell and how they should be told.
Taking Care of Yourself
While it can be extremely difficult to disclose information about HIV to children, it is better to tell your children as early as you can, especially once they start asking questions. It is usually easier to tell the truth than to try to cover up the diagnosis. Once children know, the family can start discussing things openly and dealing with the feelings that come up. Following the tips listed below may make disclosure easier for you and your children:

This book offers exercises, instructions, jokes, stories, pithy quotes, and—most of all—encouragement to anyone interested in exploring Zen but who may find traditional presentations severe or intimidating. Hamilton writes with an easygoing, friendly style that invites readers of all backgrounds to sit down and give meditation a try. But don't be fooled by her puns and checklists—this is serious Zen.
Drawing on three decades of experience as a Zen practitioner and teacher, Hamilton explains how to meditate and how to maintain an ongoing practice. From there, in her clear, lighthearted, and humorous style, she moves right to the heart of Zen, showing us how we could move beyond our concepts, expectations, and emotional reactivity to touch the reality of our lived experience with openness and simplicity, thereby finding freedom.
Untrain Your Parrot includes simple instructions to clarify and elucidate the basics:
- how to establish a beginning meditation practice
- how to develop physical, mental, and emotional awareness
- how to experience "open" awareness—observing one's practice while allowing for a sense of spaciousness with whatever occurs
"Serious Zen taught in a friendly and accessible manner with special exercises, jokes, and more; from a San Diego-based teacher of Zen with 30 years' experience." —Library Journal
"A superb teacher who has peppered meditations with stories, colorful anecdotes, exercises, and imaginative phrases. . . . Hamilton helps us examine in fresh ways the warps of the conditioned mind, and provides many practices that you will want to try as you attempt to live a life of wholeheartedness." —Spirituality & Health
"Delightful humor and deep wisdom in the key of Zen. Elizabeth Hamilton has been there, done that, and tells the truth, so her teaching is gentle, grounded, and emotionally intelligent. She makes meditation practice real and accessible, rather than a romantic idealization." —Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are
"The title tips us off that we're in for a witty read, rich with metaphor. But Untrain Your Parrot turns out to also be a brilliant reconceptualization of Zen practice as a comprehensive, do-able program for psycho-spiritual growth. The clarity of Hamilton's pedagogy makes this an uncommonly serviceable workbook for the inner (and outer!) life." —Zoketsu Norman Fischer, author of Taking Our Places
"Elizabeth Hamilton is an intrepid spiritual practitioner, meeting sorrows and hardships with a spirit that continues to open to love. With humor and unrelenting use of skillful means, Elizabeth provides sound guidance in everyday language for everyday folks who dare to live awake." —Roshi Wendy Egyoku Nakao, abbot of the Zen Center of Los Angeles

Slaughtneil GAC's "true humanity and decency" was demonstrated this week after sending a condolence card to Dr Crokes following the sad death of Amy O'Connor nine days ago.
The Kerry giants defeated Slaughtneil in last year's All-Ireland club SFC final at Croke Park, where the late Amy proudly helped raise the Andy Merrigan Cup with winning captain Johnny Buckley afterwards to mark the Killarney club's second ever triumph in the competition.
Daughter of Brendan and Triona O'Connor, 11-year-old Amy was a talented underage player with Crokes and with Killarney Celtic before she had become ill.
Crokes shared the message Amy's family and friends had received from the Derry club via their Twitter account earlier today:
Beautiful classy message from @GACSlaughtneil to @drcrokesgaa and family of Amy O Connor RIP. Our defeated opponents in last years Club Final (the day Amy lifted the cup) demonstrating true humanity and decency. pic.twitter.com/UgILOIGaax- Dr. Crokes GAA (@drcrokesgaa) March 6, 2018

Hummer Bilstein Shock Kits
A good set of shocks can make a world of difference in the handling of your truck even with the stock suspension. Bilstein shocks are a great upgrade for someone wanting better suspension control but not wanting to lift their vehicle. These Bilstein monotube gas charged shocks will provide crisper cornering, less sway, better control over bumps and an all around better ride. Bilstein shocks are engineered with vehicle specific valving tuned to your particular truck, not a generic shock that just happens to fit your vehicle.
We've made buying Bilstein shocks for your stock, leveled or lifted 4x4 vehicle easy. These pre-packaged Bilstein shock kits contain four vehicle specific Bilstein shocks for your vehicle. Just choose the correct vehicle and the amount of lift on it and you will get Bilstein shocks for all 4 corners.
The yellow 4600 Series shocks are for stock vehicles with no suspension lift. The 5100 Series shocks are zinc plated and are available for most leveled and lifted 4x4 vehicles.

|Shama 30 May 16
|My son got mouth ulcers every month his paediatrician told us to buy a toothpaste which didn't have the ingredient called aroma. It worked you can buy from the coop.
|Kamini 17 January 15
|My son has continual mouth ulcers. I'm going to try changing the toothpaste but can anyone recommend a mouthwash. I have tried aloclair but it is very expensive is there a cheaper alternative
|Martin 9 November 14
|My 10 year old has gotten mouth ulcers since a very young age. I have no idea why. I would love answers. She carries Oregel with her everywhere.
|Cheri 24 October 14
|If anyone could email me info my 8 yr old daughter has Type A Strep, also has craploads of the mouth ulcers, she wont eat drink or anything not popscicles, ice cream ice or anything. If you have any suggestions Id really appreciate it. ON what should I do. Shes seen a doc 3 times in 4 days. SHe had a fever initially. Thanks for your help you can emial at firstname.lastname@example.com
|Dianna H 10 October 09
|Hi,My son is 9 and suffered reaccuring bouts of several ulcers at a time, sometimes with mild fever and sore thraot, so I am interested in the PFPA syndrome,but will definitely try the SLS-free toothpastes and Vit B. A treatment he finds very hlepful with the pain although its not cheap is Aloclair mouth rinse.
|sarah 5 March 03
|Hi Sabrena, the toothpaste may help a bit, if your going for vitamins try finding one that contains probiotics that too may help. Good luck.
|Dom Walton 20 February 03
|Hi, My son is now 8 and he has gotten severe ulcers since he was 1 (maybe even sooner) My mom has always bad cases of ulcers but no one else in my family has. I plan on trying the toothpaste idea and see if that works. He doesnt eat many vegetables (only corn on the cob) and no fruits. I have started giving him a daily vitamen again to see if that helps. Maybe the lack of Vitamin B is a possible cause. I am glad to find this site and some possible techniques to try (I had been a dental assistant for 13 years but could still not find any good solutions) I do like the idea of sucking on a clove. That is actually used a lot in dentistry. That is a good drug free alternative if your child can stand it.
|Sabrina (email@example.com 20 February 03
| Thank you so much for your reply. I need to check the ingredients of his toothpaste-I probably do need to get something that is SLS-free. I also need to watch next time he eats any of the foods you mentioned to see if he gets an ulcer right after. Ill check these things first before I worry myself into a frenzy about the PFAPA and the coxsackie A virus.
Thanks again.
|Tessa 20 December 02
| Dear Tessa,
In my 6 years of helping people with mouth ulcers I have seen two things which I think cause most mouth ulcers in kids. I have seen that kids often suffer from mouth ulcers as a result of the SLS or tartar control ingredients in their toothpastes. When they switch to an SLS-free toothpaste their mouth ulcers go away. I have also found that children are also commonly sensitive to certain foods that may cause thir mouth ulcers including nuts (peanuts, walnuts, almonds, etc), chocolate, wheat products, shellfish, or figs.
Very rarely some children suffer from PFAPA or Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Adenopathy Syndrome. Children with PFAPA usually show signs of fever, combined with canker sores, sore throats, and enlarged lymph nodes. The fever and other symptoms subside before recurring approxiamately every three to six weeks. Treatment with a single dose of oral predisone has successfully treated the syndrome.
Less common also is a condition called herpangina caused by the coxsackie A virus. (One of the very few cases in which a virus results in mouth ulcers) It is an illness (much like catching a cold) that is characterized by rapid onset of fever, sore throat, and 1-5mm ulcers. It usually goes away on its own although aspirin gargles are sometimes given to provide symptomatic relief.
Best of luck

Don't be shy, leave a comment!
I want to get to know our readers, all of you, even if you don't normally comment on this blog. Stop by the comments (make sure to attach some sort of name to your comment so I can tell people apart), and drop me a line.
You can just say hello, or tell me a little about yourself (how you found this blog, how often you read it, etc.).
I'll even start us off with a little bit about me.
I'm Amelia. I'm 20 years old, and I started the Female Impersonator blog last year after I took my first Gender and Women's Studies class at Knox College. That was when I first began to identify as a feminist, and since then I have spent a lot of time reading news stories and thinking critically about my actions and my life, which I feel has helped me grow as a person.
So, readers, what about you?

My name is Ellie. I'm a Computer Science major at Knox. I've never taken a GWST class, but I've been exposed to a lot of feminist theory through my friends and stuff I read online. Also, as a queer woman, a minority in my field (women are very underrepresented in CS, and for a while, I was the only one in the department at Knox. Now we have two?), a cultural/social outcast, an enviornmentalist, and so on--I'm constantly thinking about and re-evaluating issues of social roles, oppression, and how I can rethink my existence.
- May 30, 2009 at 3:41 PM
Hey Amelia! I have your blog bookmarked so I can read it when I think of it. I always enjoy your take on things, as well as the other people who post. I also took Women, Culture, & Society, and it was so good for me! I am now a GWST major and identify as a feminist and love it.
- May 30, 2009 at 3:55 PM
Hey Amelia. I'm actually Rob from downstairs in case you didn't know--I just like this name. I read your blog whenever you say something on facebook. That lets me know that something interesting has just been posted. You make some strong, intelligent points that I find very thought provoking. Keep up the good work!
- May 30, 2009 at 4:01 PM
I'm Martha Baumgarten and I've been reading Female Impersonators since the 2nd or 3rd post. I was in Intro to Gender and Women's Studies with Amelia and Kate. :-)

I'm Tasha. I'm 21 years old. I've identified as a feminist since I was a small child and barely knew what feminism was. I'm a gender and women's studies minor at Knox College and focus especially on literature by feminists and feminists of color. I often think of blog posts to write and then I do not do it, but I read the large majority of posts. I struggle a lot with my feminist identity and what particularly I believe in.
Your turn.

Just want to say a general "thanks for the comments" to everyone. I was (very pleasantly) surprised to see some of your names, since I haven't gotten many comments from all of you.

My name is Kate and I'm a school librarian at an international school in Switzerland. I started getting into feminist thought and theory through a graduate course I'm taking, so I looked around the blogosphere for feminist-slanted blogs and found yours. :)
- May 31, 2009 at 2:12 AM
I'm Joss, I don't recall how I found your blog, but I now subscribe via google reader so I read whenever there is a new post. I'm studying to be a translator at a bible college in australia. I am a christian, a hippy and a feminist (not necessarily in that order) and while many would argue that I cannot be all three (or even any two) I would say they are wrong - I even wrote an essay on it.

Hi Amelia. My name is Rachel, I'm 24 years old and live in Cambridge, UK. I think I found your blog through a comment somewhere else - probably Feministe or The F-Word? I've been a feminist my whole life, learnt the word for it at four years old, and wish I could get it together to blog more about feminism like you. Keep it up!

- Kat said...
My name is Katrina. I'm relatively new to blogging, but not to feminism... mum, reading, uni- all those things have contributed to my interest in gender studies. My slightly ridiculous and lonely mission is to reclaim the proverbial "trousers" in Scotland, due to an awareness of Scotland as a particularly miserable place to be a woman, an awareness that has grown the longer I've spent abroad.
I came across your blog whilst browsing for Scottish feminist blogs... there are, unsurprisingly, very few! However, I look at the feminist blogs out there, like Female Impersonator, and the potential for reach and influence, and I feel inspired to spend more time on my own blog- the hard and lonely work that it is!
Thanks for giving me the motivation.

Again, thank you for the time you spend here. I feel lucky to have such interesting readers. :)

Hi, people call me Snowdrop because I didn't object quickly enough when that nickname was suggested - but also I quite like some of the association that go with being the first flower after winter.
I read whenever you post to Feministe's "Shameless Self-promotion Sunday", and sometimes when others link you as well - you're one of the names I look for in the SSS each week!
I'm a male feminist who grew up with a more-or-less feminist household (and certainly, my mother was the main breadwinner); I've done the whole lot, though, and even been the Nice Guy(tm) at one stage (shame on me). I have learned to listen and learned a lot since then. I'm very kinky and gender-variant. I play guitar, double bass, ukulele and mandolin; I write fiction and I'm currently out of work. I'm a Christian, but also a heretic (there's even technical names for my heresies!); a Marxian leftwing revolutionary (but I hate change). I'm another Brit, with ethnic/genetic heritage from Irish tinkers, Romany folk, Irish Celtic families and Yorkshire roots (Yorkshire is still my spiritual home, though I am far away right now).

I'm Lyndsay. I'm Canadian. I'm graduating with a Bachelor in Arts and Science with minors in biology and psychology soon. I'm still living off student loans as any job is hard to get in this economy. I am enjoying reading, cooking, biking etc in my free time. In September I'll be going to teacher's college in Toronto in order to teach biology and social sciences. That'll take nine months. I've always like to think about what and how people should be taught.
- May 31, 2009 at 9:07 PM
I'm Allison. I'm a writer. I'm working on my PhD now, in English. My thesis is on representations of female and queer bodies in pop music. I've been a feminist for a long time, but have only started to be outspoken since I've been some amazing feminist mentors in the last several years who have taught me by example that we can change minds and change the world. I love this blog, because you are so obviously passionate, angry, compassionate, and strong. When I have moments of feeling discouraged because of the many injustices in the world, I read writing such as yours to remember that there are other people who care. You're comforting and inspiring.

Hello, I'm hexy. I'm a Sydney-based queer, Indigenous, sex-working, non-neurotypical feminist. I started my blog a while back after a thread on my LJ on feminism dissolved into a massive flamewar, and I decided I needed a separate space for my rantings.
I generally only read you through the Feministe SSS, but I always look forward to your entires.

Sorry to be a little delayed, but I just graduated from Yale Divinity School a week ago, moved back from Connecticut to Minnesota and am searching for work (pretty much of any kind... surprisingly enough, a masters in religion isn't the most useful degree ever). I've been reading and blogging here for over a year and am so glad that Amelia founded the site. It's given me a place to explore my own thoughts deeper and engage with these really important issues on a regular basis. I've got a lot of interests in the feminist sphere, but most specifically the intersections of religion, Christianity, feminism, and pop culture (most specifically films). I'm a fierce supporter of gay marriage within religious institutions and gay ordination. Since I went to college in Minnesota and now have returned here, many of my posts have a Minnesotan focus.
I'd love to read your thesis sometime, if you're in the mood for sharing.

I'm Saranga. I'm a 29 year old feminist living in Norfolk, UK and working for a women's organisation. I am bisexual but am considering using another label. I have been a feminist all my life, thanks to my mother who brought me up to be proud of being a woman and not take any crap about it. However it's only in the last few years I have felt comfortable identifying as a feminist in public.
I think I found you via The F Word and I love the blog title.
I am very concerned with women's representations in popular culture and the media, specifically in comics, and so I blog a lot (but not exclusively) about comics.
I recognise a few of the names above, *waves to those I know*.
- June 3, 2009 at 2:49 PM
I found your lovely blog thanks to Feministe's Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday. Now I have you bookmarked.
My name is Dawn and I live in Ohio (it sucks). I'm 21 years old, a feminist, a woman of color, a writer, and a barista. I'm a lover of sundresses, falafel wraps, good conversation, and good beer.
I was forced to leave my university for financial reasons, but when I return (damn recession!) I'd like to complete my BA in English and Gender Studies. I am bisexual but have a certain disdain for the label because it implies there are only two genders, which is bogus. I actually came out as polysexual but everyone thought it had some correlation with polygamy and I got too tired explaining it to everyone.
