I built homes for 15 years before closing up shop to focus on remediating moisture and mold incursion problems. While I have specialized moisture meters to cover every situation I face, I use two types of meters the most–surface and pin–and recommend them for builders to identify if there is a moisture problem, potentially a mold problem, and how widespread it is.
The surface meter works like a stud finder and can read about 3/4 inch deep. The pin meter reads much deeper by punching two small holes in material with sharp metal probes, which get behind or inside building materials like hardwood floors, trim, siding, or plaster. Moisture meters aid significantly in determining the size and extent of a moisture incursion and can provide the information necessary to help you determine if you can fix the problem yourself or if you must call a professional investigator.
Surface. I use a surface model, specifically the Delmhorst Accuscan, first because they don't punch holes. These units are best for "seeing" moisture behind a solid surface like drywall or ceramic tile, and are also effective for locating defective plumbing, condensation, or even standing water accumulated somewhere like in a ceiling. The surface meter delivers dependable readings in many situations, which it determines through measuring the resistance in the conductivity field between the pads on the sole of the tool. Note that pipes, nail heads, and corner bead can register on the meter, and they don't necessarily mean water is present, so double check by moving the meter to a dry stud bay nearby to get an accurate baseline reading.
While a surface meter can read through 10 layers of latex paint like in an old house or apartment building, this tool can sometimes get faked out by certain types of wall coverings, like vinyl wallpaper, stucco, EIFS, and thick coats of plaster. If you suspect leaks behind any of these materials, use a pin meter.
Pin. For reading to a greater depth below the surface, I use a Delmhorst BD-2100 pin meter, which provides the dependable readings I need to formulate an analysis of what's happening to a building. Pin meters are suitable for testing the moisture content of everything from framing lumber to concrete and stucco systems and are my go-to tools for getting really accurate readings in all kinds of materials. They're also effective for finding damp spots on, in, under, or behind other materials like gypsum board, carpet, hardwood floors, and plaster, but I use them mostly for testing baseboards. Not only can a pin meter tell me if a baseboard is wet, it can tell me how wet it is based on its Percent Scale. I know that if I punch holes in the baseboard and find a reading over 16 percent, there is a good chance mold could be part of the moisture problem (mold won't grow in moisture levels less than
16 percent). I also suggest using pin meters to make sure your framing is dry before you close it in with drywall–make sure it is less than 16 percent. I also use it to make sure wallboard is dry.
If a customer calls and says they have wet, squishy carpets under a window (I get this call all the time), don't go into their house and immediately put the moisture meter on the wall in the wet area. Instead, go to a location in the house that you know is dry and establish a baseline reading with either type of meter. Once you have the baseline reading on the meter's Relative (or Reference) Scale, you can go to the affected area and start your investigation.
Most moisture settles in the bottom of the wall, so start searches at the base molding. Once the meter is reading the affected area, watch to see if the reading increases dramatically from your baseline measurement. Move the meter out and up from your starting point to determine how much of the base molding and/or wallboard is affected. Mark the boundary of the wet spot with colored tape. (Remediation experts always use red tape.)
The EPA says a wet spot less than 10 square feet–even if it has mold–is something you'll likely be able to repair yourself. Anything larger and you should call a professional moisture investigator to determine the extent of the problem and to write a remediation protocol. This is a key move that could save you major headaches down the road because, for a large intrusion that has been wet for more than 72 hours, it's likely that mold is present. The last thing you want to do is infect an entire house in a well-intended effort to fix it. If you attempt to fix it yourself, you could end up spreading the mold instead of eliminating it.
–Bob Rudd owns Rudd Inspections and Environmental Services and runs The International Construction & Environmental Training Institute in Las Vegas.
List three phone numbers in your business directory right now: a moisture/mold investigator, a restoration contractor, and a mold remediator.
Which of these three you should call depends on the scope of the problem and how long it has existed. If a washing machine supply hose bursts and you respond within 72 hours, you'll need a restoration contractor to evacuate the water and dry the building. If there is mold, suspicion of mold, or the material has been wet for more than 72 hours, get an investigator. Upon finding mold, the investigator should refer a remediation contractor to do the specialized work of removing it.
Small, localized incursions can be responsibly handled by builders. Here's a protocol that can help fix the problem–instead of making it worse.
Using the steps outlined above, determine if mold is present. If the area is less than 10 square feet, you can probably tackle it yourself. But if you peel back a baseboard and find that its back is entirely covered with black mold, call your investigator.
Cordon-off the affected area with 2-ply 6-mil polyethylene with a medium slip factor (this means tape will stick to it well), as if you were setting up for dust protection, and make sure you put any support poles on the inside of the plastic barrier.
Wear a dust mask (N95-rated or better) or respirator, eye-protection, gloves, and long sleeves and pants.
Rent a negative air machine (it must have a HEPA filter) and put it inside the protected area to filter the air.
Anything removed from the affected area that has mold on it must be doubled bagged and both bag openings duct-taped shut. Wrap up large items in 6-mil poly and duct tape before removal. Or, break them and double bag the pieces.
Expose affected areas (remove drywall, flooring, etc.). Scrape off all visible mold, then wipe down everything you can reach (behind drywall, studs, joists, etc.). I use Foster's 40-80 anti-microbial (it's much better than bleach).
If you can, open a window and allow the affected area to air dry. Don't use fans to circulate air–that risks infecting the entire dwelling. Conventional dehumidifiers are OK, but can become polluted with mold. Commercial units are better.
Once dry, coat anything you can reach with Foster's 40-20 mold inhibitor.
Use a moisture meter to determine all building parts are dry before closing them in.
Call a mold investigator to test the affected area to be sure your remediation has been effective.

The menorah that Key Largo's Susan Gordon lights during Hanukkah has been lopsided for at least half a century, its music box no longer works and its brass has long since lost its shine.
But to Gordon, this ritual Hanukkah lamp is still as beautiful as it was in 1914, when her grandmother Rose Skolnick, with her two small children in tow, brought it in a satchel from Russia to the United States, along with just a smattering of other worldly possessions.
"She could only take the most important items," Gordon, 56, said last week.
Hanukkah begins at sundown Saturday, Dec. 8, and lasts for eight nights. The holiday commemorates the 164 BCE victory of Judah Maccabi and his small Jewish army over the Syrian empire, ruled by the mighty King Antiochis.
According to Jewish tradition, in victory, the Maccabians entered the Temple in Jerusalem and sought to rekindle the eternal flame, but they found only enough oil for one day. That one day supply, however, lasted eight days, time enough for more oil to be secured.
The lighting of the menorah recalls that biblical miracle. But as many Jews will tell you, Hanukkah, much like other Jewish holidays, is as much about tradition and continuity as it is about anything else. "From generation to generation" is a common Jewish refrain. And rituals, like the menorah lighting, are what link eras together.
For Gordon, the lighting of the menorah that once belonged to her "Bubbe Rose" is a reminder of her girlhood in Massachusetts. In those days, she, her siblings Barry and Barbara, her grandmother, who passed away in 1980, and her parents Simon and Lillian, both of whom died two years ago, lit that very same menorah.
"It gives me a feeling of the importance of belonging to a family and families having traditions," Gordon said.
But the menorah also takes her back farther, to early 20th century Czarist Russia, where Jews were routinely persecuted and were sometimes subject to murderous rampages known as pogroms. It was from there that some 2 million Jews, including Rose Skolnick, immigrated to the United States between 1881 and 1914.
Skolnick, who was 23 at the time of her move to America, lived in a small village in what is now modern-day Belarus, but was then part of Russia's Pale of Settlement. The Pale, which was established by Czar Catherine II in 1791, was where most Russian Jews were forced by decree to live. Even there, they were obligated to pay double taxes and were forbidden to lease land or pursue higher education. Beginning in 1882 the rules got stricter still, with Jews from the Pale ordered into urban areas and away from the countryside.
In 1914, when Skolnick boarded a ship for Ellis Island, Russia and the rest of Europe were on the brink of World War I. Meanwhile, Skolnick's husband, Chaim Beryl Skolnick, was in the Russian cavalry, Gordon said, and was unable to depart just yet. The Bolshevik revolution, which led to the end of the Pale of Settlement, was three years off.
"It just wasn't safe for Jews at that time," Gordon said.
So her "Bubbe Rose" left with her children, two siblings and those few items. But she made sure to take her menorah as well as the candlesticks her family used each Friday evening to bring in the sabbath.
Gordon said she'll remember that story as she kindles the Hanukkah lights this week.
"Judaism is kept alive by passing ritual items from generation to generation," she said. "But for me, understanding where these actually come from, what was going on in Russia early last century and why my grandmother had to flee the country, makes it more meaningful. She had to flee for her safety and the safety and well-being of future generations."

Aimers deserved better
Aimers deserved better
I do not know Mr. Aimers and have not been in contact with him, but I feel he has been done a terrible injustice by the PR-B superintendent. This is not a first-time occurrence for Mrs. Bettino. I moved into the Pine River district in 2003. That may have been her first year at the school. I clearly recall reading in the Pine River Journal of a meeting of the school board. At that meeting an assistant coach did not have his contract renewed and when he asked for the reason why was told by Supt. Bettino, it's none of your business, you are not employed here.
This attitude seems to be entrenched in Ms. Bettino. I would think that Mr. Aimers' 34-year career would speak for itself and that he would be an asset to the school and it would surely be in the best interest of the district to make use of his talents.
I also think it's time for the school board to stand up and be counted.
I think the proper chastisement for Supt. Bettino would be to stand in front of the student body and make a formal apology to Mr. Aimers. Next to repeat 1,000 times, "I will not be rude," then give her her final paycheck and hire someone worthy of the position.

Drumthwacket, situated close to the site of the 1777 Battle of Princeton, is the official residence of the Governor of New Jersey. In 1835 Charles Smith Olden began construction of a home for his family on this property. The name of the residence, built in the Greek Revival style, is derived from two Scottish words meaning "wooded hill". When Olden was elected governor in 1860 he became the state's first governor to live in Drumthwacket.
Over the next century the home reverted to a private residence. Many significant modifications were made to the building and grounds including a magnificent paneled library, Music Room, bridal paths and greenhouses. Drumthwacket was a cultural and intellectual center in the Princeton area. In 1966 the estate was sold to the State of New Jersey with the express intent of establishing it as the official governor's residence. After years of fund raising the New Jersey Historical Society was able to fully restore Drumthwacket in 1981. It has been home to the state's governor ever since.
Drumthwacket is one of the most impressive buildings in the state - and you can tour it for free! Visit http://www.free-attractions.com/state_pages/new_jersery.htm to discover more free attractions for you and your family throughout New Jersey.

It may come as a surprise to many people that New Jersey is home to approximately two dozen wineries. However, wine making and New Jersey have a long history. New Jersey has the distinction of being the first North American British colony to produce quality wine. Over 200 years ago the London Royal Society of Arts honored two New Jersey vintners for the wine they produced and shipped to the mother country.
Nowadays you can savor the wines of the Garden State by touring the New Jersey Wine Trails or attending one of the several annual wine-tasting events held throughout the state. These events often include live entertainment, an abundance of food, fireworks and activities for children (other than wine tasting!)

Somewhere Rod Serling is smiling. His spirit is with you as you drive along one of the state's back roads and something simply feels odd. The structures are skewed, the road is weather beaten, a lone animal howls in the distance. You know you should hit the gas and get out of there, yet you linger, drawn by the magnetic power of something you cannot explain. Are those strange lights in the night sky? Does that building really look like a cookie jar? If this is you, welcome to the club. You have joined the legions of people who have been 'lost in Jersey'.
One of the required New Jersey experiences is eating at a diner. You may ask, "With all the fine and varied restaurants throughout the state, why would I want to eat at a diner?" The reason is simple. Atmosphere. History. Culture. Diners are the melting pot of the state, a place where people from all walks of life come with a single purpose - to eat a hearty, relatively inexpensive meal without worrying about reservations, how they're dressed or what's on the menu (and in most diners that's basically everything.) Where else can you go with a group of people at 3:00 a.m. and order pancakes, hamburgers, soup, an omelet, chicken potpie and carrot cake?
Want to learn more about diners in Jersey or just find a diner near you? Go to http://www.njdiners.com/ for all you want to know about this enduring Jersey tradition!
New Jersey has its fair share of history. Washington crossing the Delaware, the establishment of Paterson as America's first planned industrialized city, home to the first organized baseball game, the opening of the Holland Tunnel as the first world's first mechanically ventilated vehicular tunnel - all of these events are well documented. However, New Jersey also has little-known tales which tickle any history lover's fancy. For one, there's the story of Joe Mulliner, the Robin Hood of the Pine Barrens, an infamous Tory outlaw in South Jersey during the Revolutionary War.
Curious, entertaining and largely forgotten people, places and events that make New Jersey unique - including the tale of Joe Mulliner - can be found at the 'New Jersey's History's Mysteries' website at http://www.njhm.com/index.htm. Happy historical hunting!
With an abundance of activities to occupy your free time in New Jersey it can be difficult, even daunting, deciding what to do. With six regions providing a myriad of possibilities, New Jersey is a place to keep even the most active person busy.
Does a visit to the USS Battleship New Jersey in Delaware River Region sound intriguing? Perhaps a jaunt to Liberty State Park in the Gateway Region is in order. It could be a day of the unusual and bizarre which means the 'Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum' in the Greater Atlantic City Region should be on your agenda. Some folks trek up to High Point in the Skylands Region for a day of hiking and picnicking. Still others find the charm of Victorian Cape May in the Southern Shore Region to be a perfect destination. And, naturally, there is the thrill of the boardwalks and beaches in the Shore Region. In short, New Jersey has plenty to offer no matter where in the state you are or would like to go. The official New Jersey Travel and Tourism site (http://www.state.nj.us/travel/) provides multiple options for those who like to wander the state in search of enjoyable activities.
If you have ever been to Margate City, a small shore town just south of Atlantic City, you have undoubtedly noticed the large pachyderm sitting near the coast. Her name is Lucy and she stands six stories tall, weighs 90 tons and is covered with 12,000 square feet of tin. More impressively, she is the only elephant in America designated as a National Historical Landmark!
James V. Lafferty, a savvy developer who understood the value of marketing, built Lucy in 1881. Over the years she has served as a real estate office, summer home and tavern before settling on her current calling as a singular tourist destination. Lucy is one of numerous unique attractions throughout the Garden State. Many can be found at Roadside America's web site at http://www.roadsideamerica.com/map/nj.html.
Wherever city or town you visit in Jersey, there is something to do. Finding that information may not have been easy in the past, but thanks to the good folks USA CityLink, New Jersey, that problem has been resolved! Visit their web site at http://newjersey.usl.myareaguide.com/, pick a town and delve in to what it has to offer! This site provides insight on local tourist attractions, businesses, parks, attractions and other meaningful information designed to assist you in discovering the area in which you reside or choose to visit.
New Jersey is home to numerous wonderful tourist attractions - the Shore, Thomas Edison's labs, the Liberty Science Center and the Delaware Water Gap, among many others. New Jersey is also a state where the weird and unique often comes to life, like the Rocking Horse House.
The Rocking Horse House is a private residence in Kendall Park (Middlesex County). Adorning the front lawn of Richie and Leila Zorzi's home are dozens of children's rocking horses in various shapes, sizes and conditions. The Zorzi's front yard is the stuff from which local legends are made and a must-see for anyone in the vicinity. It is just one of the fascinating pieces of off-beat New Jersey folklore and legend you can find when you visit the 'Weird NJ' website at http://www.weirdnj.com/.

Richie McCaw is taking a six-month sabbatical from rugby but that didn't prevent him slipping into the Hertz Sevens Tournament in Wellington disguised as a police officer.
The All Blacks skipper was sprung by radio personality Polly Gillespie, who posted a photo on Instagram with the comment: "Yes Officer McCaw, I've been a very naughty girl."
There was no sight of McCaw's girlfriend, reportedly Black Sticks striker Gemma Flynn, 22.
A month ago, McCaw was pursuing his other great passion at Omarama in north Otago.
McCaw and his cousin Alex McCaw were among 30 entries in the New Zealand gliding championships at the Omarama Airfield,
McCaw celebrated his 32nd birthday on New Year's Eve, after enjoying a family Christmas in Christchurch, and had a New Year jet-boating excursion in Wanaka.
With no rugby until July, he had planned to take a two or three-month holiday away from New Zealand, "just to forget about rugby for a while".

Mike Brock's 873-pound pumpkin took first place at the 20th annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off, held Saturday in the Safeway parking lot on South State Street.
The top weight raises the bar after last year's winner, grown by Bennie England, weighed in at 756 pounds -- still far short of the record weight of 1,109 pounds, set in 2008 by Ben Fillmore.
"I got lucky," Brock said. "I didn't use fertilizer hardly at all -- only two times with fish emulsion. It was a good growing year. The warm nights helped a lot."
The squash should have been 123 pounds lighter, according to a chart Brock consulted that uses the pumpkin's circumference, side-to-side width and the measurement from its stem to its blossom.
His secret?
"There's no real secret," Brock said, and added that he's been building his soil with compost for 10 years. That and regular watering, burying the main stem so the wind doesn't twist and break it and regular trimming help a pumpkin add pounds.
The work literally paid off, with the grand prize being $1 per pound.
The last time Brock won was in 2011, when his 1,039-pounder upset fellow grower Ben Fillmore's six-year winning streak after Brock had last beaten him in 2004.
Fillmore had said at the 2010 weigh-off that he wasn't going to compete anymore, then took second place to Brock in 2011.
"Every year he says he's not going to grow a pumpkin, and then he starts one," said Fillmore's daughter, Shylee Fillmore. "It's his calling."
This year, Fillmore's pumpkin weighed 771 pounds and took second place. In third place was Fillmore's neighbor, Marvin Howard, who said Fillmore "talked him into it" for the first time this year and gave him a starter plant. With a little TLC and a lot of "horse manure," according to Howard, the plant produced a 654-pound pumpkin.
"And when I say I used (a combination of horse and cow manure), I used a lot, like probably 15 yards of manure covered with straw," Howard said.
He hasn't decided whether he'll enter the competition again next year. Howard's wife, Marie, said the main problem for her was the space the giant squash took up in her garden. This one grew on a 20-foot-by-30-foot plot.
"It was fun," Howard said.
Last year's winner, Bennie England, this year entered a pumpkin that weighed in at 389 pounds, putting him in sixth place.
The entries averaged between 100 and 200 pounds heavier than last year's winners, according to Maya Simerson, chairwoman of the PumpkinFest Committee.
The weigh-off also features a "greenie" category and a category for weirdest gourd.
The giant pumpkins will be on display at Safeway all week, and will lead the PumpkinFest parade Saturday at 10 a.m.

ATCO announces plan to hire 50 new employees
POCATELLO, Idaho - Just one week short of ATCO's one year anniversary from when it first moved into Pocatello, the Canadian-based international company is announcing its plan to hire 50 new employees within the next few months.
ATCO Vice President of Manufacturing Bill Haliburton said the major focus when it comes to hiring and production has been on Pocatello, saying the city seems exceptionally talented when it comes to specific skills needed for the job.
"It is not a surprise for us about the availability of skilled personnel," Haliburton said. "That, along with the welcoming and support we have had fro the local community."
Mayor Brian Blad said this comes at a time when the city is just now starting to see a boost in the local economy.
"It opens the up other opportunities for other businesses to start," Blad said. "So, anytime you add 50 jobs, you are going to add another three or four businesses that will give four, five, six, or seven people jobs."
Blad said the city created at least 2,200 new jobs within the past three years, and hopes that number will be matched with the wave of new businesses coming in.
He also said within the next couple of years, the city will start to see an influx in major companies moving in, including two California-based retail companies which are projected to create a combined total of almost 130 new jobs. Those companies have not yet been announced.
This comes after the announcement a new Carl's Jr. and credit union will both be moving into the new Winco shopping center. Blad also said within the next 60 days, the old Albertson's will be torn down and a new company will be moving in. Once again, no spoilers have been given as to who the new business will be.
Haliburton said the staffing should be maintained well into the fall since the jobs they are hiring for tend to be cyclical.
He said they will be hiring plant personnel with skill trades in "plumbing, electricians, heating and air conditioning, and general labor as well." Those who are interested in applying should contact the Department of Labor's Pocatello bureau as soon as they can.
ATCO produces modular workforce housing used at oil and mining fields. Once the houses are completed at the Pocatello plant, they are then sent back to Canada.

Graduates, members of the Board of Regents, President Benson, members of the faculty and staff, parents, distinguished guests, family and friends; it is my pleasure and honor to have the opportunity to address you today as the chancellor of the University of Colorado Boulder.
I know today's graduates join me in extending a special welcome to their family and friends, whose love and support have helped to make this day possible. Please join me in showing our appreciation.
With us today, are many members of the faculty who have guided and mentored these graduates. They have shared their time, knowledge and expertise to help each student reach this important milestone and his or her full potential. Will representatives of the faculty please rise and be recognized?
Graduates, congratulations! Your hard work has brought you to this day. The University Seal you will soon see embossed on your diploma depicts a torch in the hands of youth with a Greek inscription that reads: "Let Your Light Shine!"
This year, you really let your light shine and it glowed brightly.
If September's flood taught us one thing, it was this: If we come together and help each other, even in a disaster we can make a community a stronger place.
The nation took note as you helped your fellow students and neighbors, even when you may have been victimized by the floodwaters yourself. We saw students go out into the community to aid Boulder County residents devastated by the flood. We saw students raising money for each other to replace textbooks and help them to acquire lodging and meals. Student athletes served meals to campus evacuees and emergency responders. Your sense of community was inspiring and I want to thank you.
And through it all, you per-severed and earned your degree! You can take pride that you embody that torch of light on your diploma.
The world lost its own shining light in December, with the loss of Nelson Mandela. It was Mandela who said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
No truer words have been spoken. What Mandela didn't say is this: Education is also the most powerful way to change yourself.
With your education you have given yourself the power to transform yourself and the world. Think back to when you were a freshman or a fledgling graduate student, and realize all you have accomplished.
In your academic career at CU-Boulder you have learned valuable lessons in critical thinking, civil discourse, collaborative decision-making and creative solutions.
You have worked collaboratively and across disciplines to control satellites in space, work on biomedical advancements, develop clean energy, produce works of art … or create animated films that lampoon social issues.
Your student-led sustainability initiatives have been a model for the nation, and even the world, and earned CU-Boulder the moniker, "The Greenest University in America."
We see personal transformation in the 13,000 CU students who participate in community service every year. We see students who make an impact on the world when they design and install water and sanitation systems for developing countries.
For each of you, your growth has been personal – unique to you. But for all of you, it has prepared you for a life of career and contribution in a global society.
We sincerely care about your upcoming transition from campus to career, or graduate school, and we want to know how we can be helpful to you as new alumni. As part of that commitment, we will be sending you a message with a Graduate Destinations Survey in a few months. Please take a moment to provide us this vital information that will help us to improve the value of the degree you are receiving today.
Congratulations. You have earned it. Hold your light high, and lead the way.

In Maur near Zürich we have a small old house with two rooms. This house needs to be rebuilt very soon. This 120 year old house is very basic and please note that it is worn out. On the ground floor it has a small kitchen and upstairs there is a toilet and a shower.
Before booking we would like if you could introduce yourself quickley, so that we can imagine to what kind of persons we are going to rent this little house, Please do only write words, If you write numbers, mailadresses, websites, then Wimdu will not deliver the message, or shorten it.
No smoking inside. Because we never smoke, we prefer guest who do not even know what tobacco is. Some people went for a walk well away from the house whenever they had to smoke, and that was ok for us.
Some people have said that the house is smelling and that is is not healthy to live there. So the time is really coming that the house has to be rebuilt. But other people did not have this impression.
Since all the cats in the neighbouhood do only have psychologic tasks it can happen that we meet a mouse in the kitchen.
The house is heated with electric heaters and if it is very cold outside then it will not be very warm inside. Therefore it may be advisable not to book to early in winter and watch the weather conditions first.
The house is not everybodys style, but many artists and creative people have stayed here and felt quite well.
We think this little hous is ok until max 4 persons. A dog we count like an extra person.
Our guest often do not find the forks and knives. They are in the drawer of the table in the room.
Maur is still a farming village, 35 minutes by tram and bus from the main train station of Zurich (12km east, at a lake opposite of Uster)
Local attractions
- pretty village with 4 restaurants and small castle of XII century
- 5 minute walk through the fields to the lake, or 4 hours around it
- free Internet access at PC in room and open wireless (if it works)
- bicycles have to be repaired first
Do only come if you have made a reservation!
Do not come with an expensive car. It does not suit with the house.
How to get there by public transport:
- a ticket (enter 8124 at machine) costs Fr.8.20 (valid 2 hours),
or an pass for 24 hours (Zones 10, 21,30) costs Fr.16.40
(Train rides to the airport are included in those tickets. If you buy a card with 6 tickets on it, you can buy half fare if you are not over 25 years old. A monthly all zones pass valid after 9am, personal or transferable, costs about SFr.120.-.)
- tram number 3 to Klusplatz (allow 20 minutes to get there)
- then bus 747, leaves at about 19 and 49 past every hour, last bus at 36 minutes past midnight, 20 min. ride via Witikon, Binz, Ebmatingen to Maur Dorf (at the foot of the hill).
From the Airport Tram 12 to Stettbach and then bus 743 to Maur Dorf. This works until about 8pm. Later Stettbach to Fällanden then bus to Pfaffhausen then bus 747 to Maur Dorf. Or right away but more expensive from the Airport train to Zurich main station, tram 3 to Klusplatz (final stop), bus 747 to Maur Dorf.
Ev kuralları- Use showers reasonably as supply of hot water has to last for all. -
- Do not smoke in the house.
- Pets by arrangement.
You will find clean towels and sheets, but they are not ironed.
- The fee of CHF 30 for fresh linnen you have to pay separately at the end of your stay. If you leave the house very clean then we will not insist on this payment.
Please do not feed the cats and do also not give them any milk! They get enough to eat in their homes and our neighbours are very sad when their cats do not come home anymore.

Hi Everyone
I am Srini I am From India, my friends and I came to Swiss and Stayed in that house for three days. It was ok to spend time in country sides. It's very Quite and Peace full place. I think it is a little bit far from town. if you plan to spend your times in Town, you must have to hurry up because of limited bus service. Also if you plan to cook you must have to buy every thing from town, I didn't see any shops near by... Over all its a good place...
We stopped here for a few nights in June whilst visiting our Son who had just moved to Zurich. The house itself is a very old house, with very basic facilities, but it was clean, and everything worked. It met our expectations, and suited our needs. Maur is pretty village with a number of shops and eating places. The lake is only a short stroll from the house. If you are the sort of person who prefers 4 star hotels then this is not for you, but if you don't mind mixed up old furniture, the odd creaking floor board, and if you need an affordable place to rest your head for a few days within range of Zurich you will be happy here ( we were ).
The old house is stripped from luxery, basic XL, but this place doesn't need it!
The beds are good and the vibe is relaxed. The owner (Reinhard) is a very friendly man. We had dinner in a very good Thai takeaway restaurant, just 5 minutes walking from the house. Although Maur isn't an exciting place to be, it is a good place to start your trips to cities in Switserland. We enjoyed Rapperswil and Chur and when we returned to the house in Maur, it was always a pleasure to be there again. We will come back!
Bella vacanza immersi nella tranquillita' della campagna di maur, casa originale e completa di tutto tranne il televisore di cui non si e' sentita assolutamente la mancanza, wifi utilissimo come la cucina proprietario simpatico e gentile, mandi dal friuli
Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit. Das Haus ist ein absoluter Traum und hat alles, was man braucht. Es ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und der kleine Supermarkt nebenan, bietet alles zum Selbstversorgen. Die nahe Lage zum See lädt zu langen Spaziergängen durch eine märchenhafte Natur ein und in die wunderschöne Stadt Zürich ist es auch nicht weit. Leider war unser Aufenthalt sehr kurz, aber wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf ein Wiedersehen mit Maur.
Das Häuschen ist schön gelegen in einer der steuergünstigen und reichen Region Zürichs. Reinhard Lebensweise und sein Häuschen erinnerte mich an meinen Aufenthalt in einem Camp in Lateinamerika. Es ist ein einfacher Standard - aber leider liess auch die Sauberkeit und Hygiene zu wünschen übrig.
Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß.
Ein sehr schönes älteres Häuschen mit viel Charme. Gute Matratzen, Strom und Wasser funktioniert auch. Sogar mit PC und Internet.Was will man mehr.
Vielleicht nicht das Ideale für die "Wohlstandfratzen" der heutigen Jugend, aber wer was günstiges zum Übernachten sucht bestimmt nicht verkehrt.
Kommen gerne mal wieder, wenn wir in der Gegend sind.
Rainer, Bernd und Jonas.
beim Spiel vom 02.10.2014 Zürich gegen Mönchengladbach 1:1
Gute Organisation,
das Haus hat eine schöne Lage, nur 5 Minuten vom Seeschwimmbad entfernt.
Die Unterkunft war, wie von Reinhard erwähnt,sehr einfach. Damit hätten wir kein Problem gehabt, hatten wir uns dabei doch auf die schweizerische Sauberkeit verlassen. Dem war leider nicht so..Spinnweben in den Ecken unter den Betten lag fingerdick der Staub. Die sanitären Anlagen (Dusche, WC)- eine Katastrophe.Insgesamt ein leider sehr vernachlässigtes Haus.
Für unser Empfinden kein erholsamer Urlaub, bitter, dass wir dafür 600 E bezahlen mussten, für uns viel Geld.
Nettes altes Häuschen. Wer es nicht allzu nobel braucht, wird sich hier wohlfühlen. Auf jeden Fall, die Beschreibung von Reinhard vorher genau durchlesen. Wir haben sauwohl gefühlt!
Wir haben uns im Häuschen von Reinhard (nett und aufgeschlossen) wohlgefühlt und gut geschlafen. Es ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Zürich, Rapperswil, Winterthur... Bei mehrerern Personen lohnen sich öffentliche Verkehrsmittel kaum, Auto und Parkhaus sind schneller und günstiger. In Zürich Parkhaus "Promenaden" vermeiden (teuer und auch nicht zentrumsnäher als andere).

Being that the 19th pick is worth 875 points my question is for those that have tracked this does this value hold up in draft talks or do they gauge the trade offers based on the depth of the draft? or both?
Another words if the Vikings wanted our pick the swap would be the 23rd pick value 760 pts + a 3rd 155 pts or 910 pts to our 875. In math we make out but does the talent drop off warrant the trade in this draft? Just trying to dig down a little to see for fun to see if I can guess what GMs think when pulling these triggers

Dr. Sholar's Philosophy
"The greatest compliment that I can receive from a patient is when they are so satisfied that they refer a friend or family member.While no plastic surgeon can promise perfection, I can promise a commitment to obtaining the best possible result for the individual I am treating. I believe in educating my patients as much as possible about the procedure they are choosing. When my patient is well informed and thoroughly understands the benefits and limitations of what can be achieved, she or he is more pleased with the final outcome.
I hope to not only show our patients how they can look better, but also to make them feel great on the inside, too. That's why I think plastic surgery is such a great field of medicine to be in. It really is the medicine of being beautiful AND living well."

Special education features instruction and interventions designed to meet the individual needs of each child with a disability.
The U.S. Congress enacted the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, Public Law (P.L.) 94 142, in 1975. This landmark law—together with subsequent amendments as currently reflected in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; P.L. 108-446)—supports states and localities in protecting the rights of, meeting the individual needs of, and improving results for infants, toddlers, children, and youths with disabilities and their families.
As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of P.L. 94 142 this year, significant national progress has been made in ensuring the civil rights and providing equal access to education for all children with disabilities. During the 2007–08 school year, IDEA mandated programs and services were provided to more than 6 million children and youths with disabilities and more than 320,000 infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. These programs and services are provided in each of the 50 states, eight territories, District of Columbia, and in schools supported by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
During these last 35 years, IDEA also has developed a national infrastructure of supports that are improving results for millions of children with disabilities, as well as their nondisabled friends and classmates. Notably, many of the educational approaches, techniques, and practices employed by our nation's best teachers are the direct result of IDEA investments in rigorous education research, training, and technical assistance. Teachers can employ these approaches, techniques, and practices with confidence that they are likely to be effective.

After hundreds of guns, and having always wanted a Kimber, I bit the bullet. I could never justify the extra cost but then again, the cost of anymore than one gun is an addictive hobby.
I just picked up my Ultra Raptor II in Stainless. Have yet to shoot it, probably today.
I was thinking of one of the prettier two tone Ultra's but the metal work on this Raptor is awesome. I plan on carrying this one on and off and I couldn't fathom rubbing the black off one of those pretty two tone's.
I save that for the nasty old Glock's. Who cares what they look like, they start off ugly:):)

PL junor varsity edged 14-12
The Pequot Lakes junior varsity football team was edged by the visiting Perham Yellowjackets 16-14 on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The Patriots scored in the second quarter on an admirable drive, which featured a 22-yard pass from CJ Borleis to Lance Squires to Perham's 3. Chad Christianson then crossed the goal line on the right side. Borleis then passed to Erik Elverum for the two-point conversion and an 8-0 lead.
Perham tied it in the final seconds of the first half on a 31-yard scoring pass and a successful two-point conversion.
Both teams scored in the fourth quarter. The Patriots moved near the goal line when Christianson threw a 45-yard pass to Squires at the Perham 4. Christianson then crossed the goal line with 3:34 remaining. The conversion pass failed but the Patriots led 14-8.
Perham started the next possession at its 20, but mixed the pass and run to eventually score with 1:03 left to tie it 14-14. The Yellowjackets passed for the two-point conversion and the win.

If you ever thought your own dog would never bite you...
Well guess I'm one of those people that always thought - my dog would dnever bite me never mind what situation he was in.
Guess I'm going to reconsider that. Hex bit my DH on xmas eve (not really badly, he didn't break skin)
it was one of those really silly accidents that you just can't predict.
Hex was outside the front door on the porch eating his breakfast and mojo was inside with me. All of a sudden hex starts screaming at the top of his voice - my first thought was "he's got his nose or foot stuck trying to open the door."
So i rush over and open the door, and mojo runs over and starts having a go at Hex who's still screaming (this all happened in about 3 seconds) I didn't see if he snapped at her or she snapped at him, they don't usually fight.
So I grabbed Mojo around the neck and held her away from Hex while trying to see what on earth had happened.
DH jumped out the door to see to Hex. I finally managed to shove Mojo inside and get outside myself. Hex had stopped screaming at that stage. But DH was sitting there looking shocked holding his forearm which was already coming up in a massive bruised welt.
Hex had stood on a loose floor board on the porch (yay for cheap rental properties) and his foot had gone through and gotten pinched/stuck. DH realised after he checked Hex's tail first at which stage Hex spun around and bit him.
He punched the floor board and managed to bend it enough to get the dogs leg out. :eek: (This is a guy who until 3 years ago was terrified of dogs )
There was no time to go get a muzzle or any of those things that always sound so sensible when you talk about them at a seminar :(
But now the floor boards have been replaced and the whole front porch is covered with a rubber stall mat as it's the dogs favourite place to sleep.
Hex is fine and DH was very proud to show off his bruise on xmas day LOL he's all good again too.
But yeah just goes to show that your dog when panicking may just not react the same as what you'd expect.
Oh boy. Thanks for sharing. That's quite an eye opener. I'm glad everyone is ok and that dh didn't develop a new found terror or grudge.

i thought that too and one day Abbi collapsed outside and couldnt get up. As a last resort i tried to scoop her up and get her into the car to the ER. While trying to pick her up she bit into my chest, broke skin pretty good.
I hope everyone is ok, sounds like a frightening few seconds for everyone, I bet Hex is feeling terrible about his mistake
We had a crazy scrape the other day and I was shocked that my partner didn't get bit. Our GSD pup has been wearing a fairly cheap nylon collar because he is still growing. I noticed that it looked a bit loose . . .but I didn't check it right away. DUMB. He was outside with our doodle Gus and somehow, while they were wrestling around, Gus got his lower jaw caught in Jaeger's collar, which loosened further and then TWISTED around Gus's jaw.
Jaeger was being choked and Gus' jaw was being cut. They were stuck, both screaming, both trying to get away and hurting themselves further. :eek:
I heard the first screams and ran, but my partner was out the door and to the dogs before I hit the porch. She had to put her hand in Gus' mouth to unsnap the quick release buckle. When she told them to hold still, both dogs did so and Gus held his mouth very still and didn't bite down, thank goodness.
Poor Gus had bloody gums and Jaeger had a bloody nose, but no serious damage to ANYONE. We were so very lucky.
It was sweet because for the rest of the day Gus and Jaeger would approach each other and lick each other's faces as if to say "Dude, I am SO sorry . . .I don't even know how that happened!"
I have been compulsively checking collar fit on all my dogs since that happened. :blush:
dogs are not biting "YOU" in these circumstances, they are trying to get loose or just biting out of fear reaction at anything....
Muneraven - you are sooooo lucky!!!!!!! I have heard of several, and met one woman, who had a dog strangled or had to be put to sleep over caught collars....as with horses, I would NEVER put a nylon collar (halter) on a dog...they don't break! the dog will strangle before that collar will give....
Thank goodness everyone is OK!
Many years ago, we had a dog die his way, during a play-accident. We weren't home, but the neighbors (bless them) heard the play turn to panic and climbed the wall to try to help. Just as Muneraven describes, one's jaw had slid under the collar during play, the other dropped and rolled as they do during play, creating a figure-8 twist and the more they tried to pull apart, the tighter it got until it strangled one. The quick-release buckle would not release because of the pressure the dogs were exerting, and the neighbors couldn't cut the collar off in time. It was horrible. The surviving dog whose jaw was caught never played with other dogs as joyfully again after that.
We now only leave dogs unattended in Chinook Breakaway Collars:
Chinook & Co., L.L.C. Home page (sold on Amazon, or through the company directly). We frequently find dogs our collar-less, and the collars in the yard, when they've been out playing--these collars really do release when they should. Young, mischievous dogs sometimes play tug with them, causing us to have to to replace the collars (the company was great about giving me a discount when this happened a couple times when mine were young) -- but I'd far rather have to replace a collar than lose a friend!
Im sorry to hear about your loss! Thanks for posting a link to those collars.
I would expect any dog that is scared or hurting to bite. Years ago our dalmatian got hit by a car. I heard her crying and ran out there. She had seen my son and got out of her collar and was running to him...he was hysterical. I did pick her up, because my only thought was to help her. She actually kissed me once she was in my arms. Got her to the vet and after a very expensive surgery she was fine.
I've never been bit by any of my dogs ... yet. I never believe that my dog will never bite me, nor that any dog will never bite me. I was taught from a very young age ... ANY dog will bite, given the right circumstances. And like wolfstraum mentioned, they aren't really biting at you, they are biting because of the circumstances.
I'm glad that everyone is ok, it is definitely a heart racing moment when the "crapola's" hitting the fan and you're trying to figure out what the heck is going on!

text: At this point in the season it's tough to tell how much of this was Detroit being bad and how much of it was Houston being good. Harding looked awesome last night, and he and Lin are going to have a pretty tough backcourt. Delfino hitting those threes seemed to really kill the wind in Detroit's sails. The team obviously lacks a go-to scorer, but watching them it felt like watching a bunch of rookies that haven't played together that much (which is what they are). Their decisions were slow, passes weren't crisp, and defensive assignments looked really tentative. They came close to winning for much of the game because the team does have talent, but then Lin and Harden came back in and they couldn't defend against them. I understand what Frank was doing by going small-ball - Lin, Harden, and Delfino were taking over the game - but in doing so they weren't able to rebound and the Rockets were able to take advantage inside defensively. I also noticed that the Pistons (Monroe especially) lack great hands. Monroe might be a solid passer, but he's not great in traffic. Maybe it was that Houston was "reachy," but the Pistons weren't able to push it inside and because of the small ball, they weren't able to attack the glass. So yeah... I like Frank, but I'm hoping that he learns from this game.

Discussion in 'Artwork Zone' started by AdamJT13, May 5, 2006.
Bobby Carpenter and Kevin Burnett --
Anthony Fasano and Byron Parker --
Parcells and Parker --
why is burnett at a rookie camp?
i didn't think burnett was able to practice yet
looks like Burnett's rehab is going well in that pic. Very good news
Carpenter laughing?
It's not Burnett. Theres no star on his helmet.
Thanks Adam.
Would assume it is either saldi, parham, or hoyte.
he hasn't earned it yet, JK
23 definitely has a star on his helmet.
Definitely not Saldi, unless he has gotten some sun since the last time I saw him.
burnett is darker than that and they just give some players that were invited any number, like D.D. Lewis was given 52 which is al johnson's number
heres some skyler green pics
this is true.
I just realized, Carpenter is there, but Ohio State doesn't let their players attenduntil after Graduation. Did he seek special permission or flatout do what he wanted?
After hearing BPs comments and seeing Green's pics, I'm wondering where all that fat is?
I remember he did say he wanted to wait til he grad first.. Oh well..
Or was that Fasano..?
The links didn't work for me.
Fasano is there too though.
Maybe they had no Friday classes?
The links didnt work for me either.
If they are working for anyone could someone post the pics?
well heres the gallery


text: Everyone please 'scuse the side thread. Vash attended the PHX-SEA game tonight and I can't wait for a report. It was a very intense game!! I hope Penny Taylor is ok. Not to mention all the injured Stormies. God, that must have been an incredible game to watch. I feel bad for the Phoenix fans, and I'm hoping that the Mercs can get into the finals instead of Houston. But that game was a nailbiter until the very end.

We had a wonderful time in this little appartement in Lisboa! Everything was clean and cozy! The appartement is directly in the Barrio Alto so we could do everything by foot. We also cooked two times in the kitchen and had super nice evenings in the appartement with the two little "balconys"! We can definitely recommend this place!
Clara, Lena, Theresa, Laura
The Apartment is prefectly located, clean and has everything you Need. Filipe and his Team Are very friendly and helpfull. He also allowed us to Check out two Hours later, which was very kind. I highly recommend the Stay there.
We spent some days in the studio and really enjoyed the nice view of the kitchen-window. It is no worth cooking in the apartment as going out for lunch is really cheap and the kitchen is just equipped to prepare a quick sandwich or pasta, not a hole meal. Clean bathroom and rooms, only the bed is, in my opinion, very uncomfortable and not like written "getting out of the bed will be difficult" in a positive sense. Communication with the host was very easy, friendly and cooperative!!
For the last days we had to move to another apartment as they started with some demolition works next door. But this may occur at any place and WIMDU really did a good job to solve this problem. Thanks a lot for this!
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.
nice location, everything was fine. thanks to some frensh party people was noisy that days. bathroom is very small and on suite!! was clean but somehow very used. maybe you like to bring your own pillow.
It is a spacious, clean and well located (short walk to Bairro Alto, Viewpoint, Rossio, etc.) ikea flat. Marisa estimated our arrival time pretty right, so the check-in went smoothly and on top we got a lot of good advice what to do, see and how to get around! :) If you plan on cooking in the flat you might bring your own salt and pepper from home, if you don't want to buy it. All the kitchen supplies are available but there is nothing like salt, tea or coffee.
The bed is comfortable. Not sure about the couch, if you are more than tweo people, but it will work for a few days I guess. If you have a light sleep you better bring earplugs (it's a quiet neighbourhood and not loud at all, but if there's noise outside you can hear it).
I can definitely recommend the flat as homebase for a short trip to Lisbon and the Short Stay Flat team and service is wonderful! :)
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and located well where the restaurants as well as best ice cream parlour is. You need to be relatively fit to stay in this neighbourhood as there are a lot of steep gradients!
The apartment itself is ok we paid around £50 a night and for this price I was expecting more. The kitchen itself looks very nice however it was not well equipped with basic items such as bowls, salt and pepper, sugar not provided. This is a must as we had to then purchase from new even when staying just for three nights. The apartment bathroom needs toilet roll holder, there was some mould, also needs a place where you can place where you can put shampoo, soap etc. No toiletries are provided.
We did not manage to get the TV working but that was not the end of the world as we were on holiday - a message in portugese was mentioned on the screen which we couldn't understand and unfortunately was not fixed whilst on our stay. We were also charged 8 euros for the 3 nights and I have just realised now that it should have been 6 according to the description. A light was not working in the apartment as well.
Overall its an OK place to stay given the price maybe we have too much of a high expectation having stayed in 5 different countries with Wimdu. Some small improvements will go a big way.
It is a nice apartment in the bar district bairro alto. Eventough there are a lot of people outside, there is not much noise. the kitchen is small and was very uncleaned (garbage hasn't been put away, fridge wasn't cleaned, teakettle had still water inside). The apartment has an ugly oldish smell. But the location is very central and the arrangement with the code instead of a key to the apartment is very smart.
Nice appartment, very friendly and helpful reception.
Locationwise also perfect.
Less appealing were the low amount of natural light, the ants and noise when raining.

|Breakdown of possible Bruins trade targets: Jaromir Jagr, Ryane Clowe, Mark Streit, etc.
|03.29.13 at 2:01 pm ET
With Jarome Iginla off the market, the Bruins still are hoping to bring in an impact player before the April 3 trade deadline, likely a defenseman to bolster their depth there or a top-nine forward. Here's a look at who they may be considering.
Martin St. Louis, F, Lightning
Despite having the third- and fourth-highest scorers in the league, Tampa Bay is outside the playoff picture looking in right now, and consequently, rumors have swirled about a possible St. Louis trade. St. Louis, 37, has eight goals and 34 assists this year in 33 games, and his 42 points are good for fourth in the league behind Steven Stamkos.
Tampa GM Steve Yzerman told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun Friday that St. Louis will not be traded. With Iginla off the market, though, many see St. Louis as second prize, another forward who's past his prime but can clearly still make a significant impact. He is signed through next season with a $5.625 million cap hit and a no-trade clause.
Here's a look at St. Louis scoring a hat trick in his 900th career game, against the Devils on Feb. 4, 2012.
Jaromir Jagr, F, Stars
Plenty of teams would love to bring in Jagr at the deadline for a playoff run, but the Stars reportedly would like to re-sign him. Jagr's 25 points (14 goals and 11 assists) are a team high, and he's making $4.55 million on his current one-year deal.

Pretty cool. I wouldn't know how to do anything with it, though
Well, actually, vise. Used that for an attention getter.
I bought this about a hundred years ago at Sears Roebuck. Its an adjustable drill press vise. As you can see it can be used vertically or horizontally. I drilled a 2 x 12 to accept the vise in longways or cross ways. The bolt heads are counterbored to fit below the wood surface and will fit flat when clamped to a table top. I use those Irwin speed clamps for this.
This is a most handy item for simple parts fitting or barrel turning.

Pretty cool. I wouldn't know how to do anything with it, though
Saw something that gives me a good laff, a few years ago I worked on a "rodeo cowboys" truck and while inside I noticed a set of spurs ...with L and R in black felt marker on the inside :-D :-D . Makes me wonder if he had to write what boot they went on on the inside if he was smart enough to put it on the inside so it wouldnt be seen or if he just got lucky
Well, I've never had to mark my spurs, I found out that the buckle goes on the outside.
But some spurs are made as "left" and "right" as the rowels are canted inward very slightly.
Mine had straight shanks and originally had jinglebobs, but I took these off.
Bob Wright
I have to admit to being cruel I guess,Mine have the big ol' mexican rowels
Its not the spur that's cruel.
My rowells are mid-size and could be used for Mexican bull riding if desired, but I find just a good nudge is all I need with a decent horse.
And some of those old Mex spurs had points close enough spaced as to do no real damage, anyway.

[quote user="allentown PA"][quote user="gmen0820"][quote user="JPP"]
McCoy is a great back in their system where the WR open the field up deep and Vick keeps defenses focused on him but if he was a feature back I don't think he would cut it. He'd be like Bush either not a feature back on a winning team or a feature back on a losing team like he was this year.[/quote]Horribly inaccurate assessment.
LeSean McCoy has elite short area quickness, vision, cut back ability, long speed, intermediate speed, elusiveness, and agility. He'd be successful in any system. McCoy doesn't benefit from others on that team, others benefit from McCoy.[/quote]
It's not all that inaccurate, he absolutly benfits from the system they run...d-jack and Mac stretching the field makes him much more dangerous...I agree he has elite quickness but that was not a bad assessment at all from JPP.[/quote]It absolutely is.
McCoy is the biggest threat on that offense, and contrary to what JPP said, he is most certainly features -- and has excelled. McCoy would be featured anywhere in the league.
Nothing JPP said was accurate. McCoy is the biggest threat on that offense, if you deny that McCoy opens that offense up, than there is not one player in the league who does open an offense up. Even Perry Fewell has called McCoy the biggest threat on that offense, when asked about how he would defend other players.
Saying McCoy benefits from that system would be like saying Hakeem Nicks benefited last year from Brandon Jacobs. You're either going to view that comment as asinine, or obvious, and either way, you're right.

Nvidia Sales, Earnings Top Estimates on Graphics-Chip DemandIan King
Nvidia Corp., a maker of graphics processors, reported fiscal first-quarter sales and earnings that topped analysts' estimates as demand for high-end gaming machines helped make up for a broader personal-computer slump.
In the first quarter, which ended April 28, net income rose to $77.9 million, or 13 cents a share, from $60.4 million, or 10 cents, a year earlier, Nvidia said yesterday in a statement. Sales increased 3.2 percent to $954.7 million. Analysts on average had estimated earnings of 10 cents on sales of $940.7 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Buyers of more expensive computers are still willing to spend more for Nvidia's newest processors to get better graphics in games, said Betsy Van Hees, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. That's helping Nvidia avoid the worst of a PC slump that saw shipments slide by a record 14 percent in the first three months of 2013, according to researcher IDC.
"The PC-gaming industry is dominated by Nvidia," said San Francisco-based Van Hees, who recommends buying the shares. "They do a superb job with their technology and gamers are willing to pay for that excellence."
Nvidia shares rose 3.2 percent to $14.35 at 10:33 a.m. in New York, and earlier touched $14.53 for the biggest intraday gain since November. The stock had advanced 13 percent this year through yesterday, compared with a 14 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Gross margin, or the percentage of sales remaining after deducting the cost of production, will be about the same in the current period as the 54.3 percent reported for the first quarter, the Santa Clara, California-based company said. Analysts had predicted gross margin of 53 percent for both periods.
'Quite Vibrant'
"The PC as a platform for gaming is quite vibrant," Chief Executive Officer Jen-Hsun Huang said in a telephone interview. New free games are increasing demand for computers that offer better graphics, he said.
Nvidia has branched out into processors that run handheld devices, seeking to lessen its dependence on PCs -- a market that is poised for a second straight annual decline in 2013.
In mobile phones and tablets, the company expects to pick up orders later in the year with the Tegra 4, the latest version of its mobile line, Huang said. Nvidia slowed the development of Tegra 4 to accelerate the introduction of a model that has an integrated cellular baseband chip, called Tegra 4i, to woo more phonemakers as customers.
In order to better compete with Qualcomm Inc., which has more than half the market for baseband chips, companies such as Nvidia, Broadcom Corp. and Intel Corp. need to speed up their introduction of such combination chips that offer high-speed Internet connections, said Christopher Rolland, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets & Co.
Sales in the second quarter, which ends in July, will be about $975 million, plus or minus 2 percent, Nvidia said. That compared with an average analyst projection of $1.01 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
