3D Systems, Stratasys, ExOne: Jefferies Starts at Buy, Though Mass Manufacturing Will Take Time
Shares of 3-D printing technology stocks are trading down with the weak market today despite yet another in a series of positive reports from the Street this week, this one from Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek, who initiated coverage of 3D Systems (DDD), Stratasys (SSYS), and ExOne (XONE) with Buy ratings, and a Hold rating on shares of Arcam (AMAVF) and Voxeljet (VJET).
Misek's report follows positive initiations on Monday and Tuesday.
Writes Misek, "We believe 3D printing will create long-term value by revolutionizing mass manufacturing, but will take some time to develop."
The consumer market is not the big deal some think it is, insists Misek, but rather the move from prototyping in small volumes to full-blown manufacturing:
Consumer is interesting (esp. the home-printed children's toy market in the medium-term), but we think the dreamland scenario of being able to print anything you want at home is unrealistic. 2) Prototyping has been the main use case for 3D printing for years, but we believe it is expanding into many enterprise verticals where creative professionals are using 3D printers to rapidly iterate their design ideas. We hypothesize that the catalyst for this inflection is the proliferation of 3D CAD software, faster product cycles across many industries, and improvements in 3D printer speeds, materials, and costs. 3) Mass manufacturing is the big long-term opportunity for 3D printing as the ratio of prototypes to production parts is often 1:1000 or much greater. While simple low cost, high volume products will never be 3D printed, 3D printing is well positioned to penetrate certain use cases like mass customization, complex parts, and short production runs. We think people may be overestimating the 3D printing ramp in mass manufacturing over the next year but underestimating it over the next five years […] 3D printing enables the creation of parts that are impossible to be manufactured using traditional methods. While this opens up a wealth of new opportunities, engineers and designers need to learn the benefits and constraints of 3D printing.
As that transformation happens, the industry will sustain double-digit sales growth, he thinks: "We think the 3D printing market can grow faster than third-party forecasts of a 22% CAGR through 2017. Even a 1% penetration of the global manufacturing market would be ~$140B, 64x the $2.2B market size."
ExOne is the best of the small cap players, he thinks:
We like the technologies offered by Arcam (EBM) and voxeljet (large powder jet binding build chambers) but think it is early for both. Universities represent 27% of Arcam's installed base, indicating a still young technology. Plus Arcam and VJET sold 8 printers in Q3 combined (see Exhibit 4); large lumpy orders and high multiples often lead to extremely volatile stocks. ExOne is well positioned for the near-term mass manufacturing opportunity in aerospace followed by the auto mass manufacturing opportunity.
Regarding high stock multiples for all the names, Misek thinks they're justified:
While the 3D printing stock valuations are high, we note that companies with long-term growth opportunities that are investing in growth with higher expenses can still maintain high PEG ratios for several years. For example, over the last ten years Amazon has averaged a 2.2 PEG (2.0 median; range from 1 to 5) vs. the 3D printing sector's 2014E mean PEG of 2.0 (median 2.1) and 2015E mean of 1.4 (median 1.5). Consensus estimates assume a 28% median (36% mean) revenue growth rate and a 33% median (64% mean) EBITDA growth rate for the sector over the next two years.
3D Systems is unrivaled in the breadth of its offerings, though it has come with a risky strategy of numerous acquisitions:
We believe this end-to-end capability is currently unrivaled but will likely be emulated by others. This capability also has the benefit of acting as a strategic partner for many high- end manufacturers and if they are successful could allow them to become a standard much in the same way as Siemens and Fanuc are standards in the machining, CNC, and tooling industry where their standards for machine programming help determine tool paths. That ability would solidify 3D Systems as a longer-term high-margin player. We believe there is also a significant risk to this strategy as it has involved a large number of acquisitions. Integrating all of these people, systems, and technologies into a cohesive operational organization would present any company with an immense challenge. We are also leery in that accounting issues can often crop up when there are many acquisitions.
Stratasys is the leader in consumer printing, however, Misek thinks that the "dreamland" of the masses making objects for themselves is less important than the broadening out of the prototyping practice:
Importantly, we believe that the 3D printing prototyping market is undergoing a key inflection point. 3D printers' main market had primarily been industrial designers and a few other niche markets. We believe that recently the market opportunity has expanded into broader enterprise applications. We hypothesize that the catalyst for this is the proliferation of 3D CAD software, faster product cycles across many industries, and improvements in 3D printer speeds, materials, and costs. Rather than a $70K printer for industrial printers, a typical prototype printer is $2K-$30K and is inexpensive enough to bypass an extensive approval process and allows for regular use by a handful of creative professionals to rapidly iterate their design ideas.
Misek a $102 price target on 3D Systems, a $155 target on Stratasys, and a $72 target on ExOne.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by jobberone, Dec 9, 2012.
Here's hoping the Giants lose.
Greer just missed an easy INT, this all would be easier if the Giants just collapsed.
Of course, Giants *always* benefit from the bounces, always.
Fumble, man this is just insane.
always always always getting these legendary breaks. you take all this luck away from the Giants and they are a very average team like us.
all three NFC east teams won today thus far by a total of 5 points in the difference in the three games
There has never been a more charmed team than the Giants.
Maybe the Steelers?
But, yeah, the Giants always get the bounces.
lol Eli
where was their luck on that play
pick 6 lol.
Eli with the pick 6...
Eli throws a pick 6!!
No more breaks, Mr. Manning!
Although Mack almost dropped it.
The great Eli Manning throws another INT that is returned for a TD!:laugh2:
Pick 6
luck can only mask an average QB ability for so long.
Eli is having a dreadful 2nd half of the season.
Like that wipes away the past?
Nonetheless, I'll take it.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW wittle ewi made a boo boo.
watch him whine!! that is elite!!!

Visibility is vital to safe driving. About 90% of the input we use to make driving decisions comes through our eyes. If vision is diminished, so is advance warning of potentially dangerous situations.
Truck operators use three vision pathways when driving:
- Direct: windshields and side glass
- Indirect: mirrors
- Electronic: devices that provide awareness of what may be in blind spots.
Read on to learn how to optimize all three pathways for safer driving.
Direct Vision: Keep It Clean
A clean windshield is critical, especially when bugs streak and smear as wipers try to rub away a clear patch of glass. Change wiper blades when they start to streak and keep windshield reservoirs topped off with high-quality washer fluid.
Though more expensive, use glycol-continuing fluid in winter to melt ice and snow; use bug-dissolving fluid in summer to keep windshields from smearing. They're both well worth the investment.
When applied to a clean surface, polymer coatings prevent water from adhering to windshields, side glass, and mirrors. Whether raindrops or snow, the water forms beads that won't distort vision. They blow away at highway speeds.
In winter, ice can jam wiper frames. Use rubber-covered winter blades that keep ice from getting into the mechanism. New frameless blades, available from Michelin and others, have a strip of spring steel molded inside the blade. They flex freely to follow the contours of today's curved windshields.
Defrosting the outside of the windshield and demisting the inside are tasks still best done with the cab heater and defroster system.
Start with the heat control at high when running just the defrosters. Make sure the heater core, ductwork, and air outlets are clean and free of debris. A small dashboard-mounted hardwired or battery-powered fan hastens demisting by circulating defroster air.
Indirect Vision: Size Matters
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 sets minimum requirements for mirrors on heavy trucks. It calls for at least 50 square inches of flat mirror on each side. That could be an 8-inch diameter circular mirror, or a square less than 7½ inches per side. Shortly after World War II, large, vertical, 1636 mirrors were introduced for trucks out West, giving the name, "West Coast mirrors." Today's West Coast mirrors are 7316, or 112 square inches, which is more than double the federal requirement. In addition, motorized West Coast mirrors keep the rear of a trailer in view when turning and backing. They can be used with straight trucks to allow an area scan before backing up.

The Book You Should've Read Before Taking OSCP
My department has some discretionary training budget they need to spend (use it or lose it next year) so when they asked I said: "OSCP." The catch is that I have less than a month before I have to sign up for and start the course. I'm looking for a book that will give me a leg up on the class such that I can at least look at my wife in the evenings/on weekends. I figure I have time for 1 book.
I've been programming C/C++ using MS Studio for many years and lately working with C#. I've done a few basic programs in Python - enough to know that I've really been spoiled by MS Studio's debugging environment. No Ruby, no Perl. A little Linux. My pen testing/hacking/network knowledge is basically a little above what I got from my CEH course.
So far, I've got my eye on:
Hacking, The Art of Exploitation
Coding for Penetration Testers
Backtrack 4
Practical Packet Analysis (seems to focus heavily on Wireshark and I believe sil used "a step above a For Dummies book" in his review)
Any suggestions?

Pentax Q10 review – Is smaller better?By David Newton - Tuesday February 12 2013 Sensor Review
Pentax Q10 vs Pentax Q
Comparing the old and new gives us the chance to see how Pentax have improved their sensor technology since early 2011.
Looking at the Q10 relative to the Q, we can see that the Portrait score is a little better on the newer camera (21.1bits vs 20.2bits, a difference of 2/3rd stop) which is what has accounted for the fractional improvement in overall DxOMark score.
Disappointingly, both the landscape score and the sports score actually show a fractional step backwards although it is not sufficient to be a major concern. If the Q10 was not around $300 cheaper than the Q, there would be little reason to pick the new camera over the old model from an image quality point of view.
One interesting point to note is that Pentax have applied a noise reduction algorithm to the RAW files as well as to JPEG files from the camera, essentially smoothing out the image to try and make up for poor ISO performance from the small sensor.
Pentax Q10 vs Nikon 1 J3
The Nikon 1 J3 is a new model in the Nikon 1 series. Like the Pentax Q10, it is a hybrid camera, though it is somewhat larger than the Q10 and features a larger sensor (8.8x13.2mm vs 4.5x6.2mm).
Between these two models, the Q10 comes out on top in the portrait test, scoring 21.2bits to the J3's 20.4bits, a difference of 1/2stop. In the dynamic range test, the differences are so minimal as to be insignificant. It's the sports test that really shows the benefit of the larger sensor, as the J3 scores 420ISO, more than 1stop better than the Q10's 183ISO.
If you're comparing these two models, then unless you are drawn to the smaller size of the Q10, or you plan to shoot lots of portraits and want the better colour depth, then the Nikon 1 J3 is most likely to be the better choice.
Pentax Q10 vs Panasonic GF5 vs Olympus E-PM2
Since the hybrid market is so hotly contested, there are plenty of challengers for the Pentax Q10. The Panasonic GF5 and Olympus E-PM2 are two of the most popular in the segment.
Against the GF5, the Q10 comes out on top in colour depth by 1/3rd stop, and by 1 stop in dynamic range, but loses out by 1.65stops in the low light tests.
Comparing it to the E-PM2, shows what is possible within the hybrid arena. The E-PM2 beats the Q10 by a fair margin in all areas – it is 1 stop better in colour depth, 2.3stops better in dynamic range and 2.3stops better in low-light ISO performance. While the Q10 is $100USD cheaper than the E-PM2, it would seem a false economy, especially since the E-PM2 is only 23g heavier than the Q10 (223g vs 200g).

Western Park last Saturday evening smelled wonderfully of pennyroyal, as about 40,000 avid art lovers tramped through Art in the Dark. This delightful event, which came out of nowhere three years ago, turns art viewing into an adventure sport in the otherwise-under-used park. Slaloming up and down the slopes, visitors discovered dozens of surprises - a giant spider in a web, cellphones in a tree cube, a walkway in a cordon of light, for example - and regularly lost their fellow orienteers along the exciting, twisting paths.
Interaction was the name of the game, from Marcel Allen and Renee Warner's Plant the Seed at the top of the hill, where you could grow a virtual plant by playing with actual dirt, to Future Hotel's The Magnificent Western Park Open at the bottom, where you could play tennis with balls of coloured light.
Kids furiously pummelled air bed pumps attached to an inflatable sculpture of a lobster hugging a column topped by a halo of bluish spikes, entitled Fountain of Eternal by Melissa Durbin.
"What happens if everyone stops?" someone asked. "The plant dies," came the answer. Everyone stopped, and the spikes drooped.
Not only is Art in the Dark free, but nothing is for sale - no coffee, no glowsticks - helping to make it free of queues and whiny children. It's well-organised by Celia Harrison (the inaugural event was her spatial design Honours project at AUT) and Ella Mizrahi, still only in their mid-20s. It's already close to being an overcrowded victim of its own success (like another lights-in-parks fandango, the Lantern Festival) but it could be stretched over more nights.
Yet for all this amazingness, its future funding is not assured. It should be. The Auckland Council's tourism arm should be encouraging it - and its eco-friendly, grassroots charm - to the hilt.
Also proving Auckland's outdoorsy culture and natural beauty can enhance rather than distract from high kulcha is the enormous NZ Sculpture Onshore exhibition. Until tomorrow, Fort Takapuna in Devonport hosts 119 sculptures overlooking Rangitoto. Take a picnic and visit it slowly.
This year is the year of the menagerie - including animals by two artists curator Rob Garrett was pleased to recently discover: an impressive driftwood elephant by Jack Marsden Mayer and a bull made out of car parts by Marti Wong.
Creating meta-narratives out of survey shows is more fun than meaningful, but I couldn't resist: the exhibition can be read as questioning assumptions of happy biological "progress". A handful of humanoid forms wobbling on top of pedestals and ladders contrast with many beautiful animals on the ground, while Bernie Harfleet's 14 coffins, representing the 14 women on average killed in New Zealand by family members every year, suggests just how "civilised" we really are. Brendan McGorry's temple to evolution, made visceral with axolotls, sports scribblings of order and chaos. Would we know if we were regressing? Tickets are $15 for adults, and $30 for a family; proceeds go to Women's Refuge.

News Report: 50,000 See Led Zeppelin in Bay City
The British rock group Led Zeppelin drew 50,000 rock fans who paid $320,000 at Kezar Stadium last weekend. Although the 2 ½ hour show Saturday was 6,000 short of capacity, listeners blanketed the football field and stands. Hundreds of others heard the music for free from rooftops in the surrounding neighborhood.
A month ago, Led Zeppelin grossed $309,000 to shatter the Beatles' mark in 1965. Organizers said the group netted better than $1,000 per minute during the show here. It was the second large rock concert in a week at Kezar. The only casualties reported were some bad drug trips, a broken leg and a security guard accidentally wounded with his own revolver.
More than 250 cars were towed away from illegal parking areas around the stadium, police reported.

Kezar 73'
I was 14 and dressed in a bright yellow long backless velour dress with navy blue trim. We arrived early and Paul & I quickly lost our group of Ukiah friends. We worked our way close to the stage and spread out our tapestry on the lawn. I can remember all but an hour of the day… A couple, a few years older than us asked if they could share our tapestry and when we hesitated, they pulled out a mayo jar filled with hash as an offering. I passed out somewhere after the tubes performance and was awaken as led zeppelin got on stage. I remember the joy, the nudity, the love, and the music. I can still see the young man holding up the sign advertising clear light windowpane, his strong bare chest, and his wild kinky dark blond hair. Someone was dressed in a costume swinging large long cloth balls and a penis. The last encore was Stairway to Heaven where they released thousands of white doves! What great memories to have. This was my first outdoor concert and I'm sure the experience shaped my views during my early teen years. I am still grateful.

I have always liked Hixon, Hopefully he can stay.
New York Giants Superbowl XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI Champions!!!!!
Hixon is one of those guys that just comes in and does whatever he is asked to do. He isn't flashy but he seems to get the job done. IMO he is a valuable commodity for the Giants that should come at a relatively low price. I hope they are able to bring him back.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I`d go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I`m now resigned to the fact that this won`t happen. -- Michael Strahan, just when you think you're down...
He's always had those plays where I'd be saying to myself "wow". I really like the kid. He knows the system well enough to be productive and does not complain about his role on the offense. He's versatile and has the speed. I'd say cut Jernigan / Sash and maybe Barden to make room for his return, maybe a two year deal. Address the rest through draft.
Rudy was my side chick.
Hixon is a keeper. Stayed healthy this season and made some clutch catches. Knows the system, puts himself in position to make plays, is valuable on special teams, just quietly does his job on a consistent basis. Need more like him on the field and could do with fewer overpaid prima donnas. Won't mention any names but think defense.

My brother ... neither a foodie, nor a cook ... bought a house that is just about ready for moving-in, after several months of upgrades. What an opportunity for Sis, who is ready to "move up" from kitchen wares which are (shall we say) "time honored!"
He's perfectly happy to have my hand-me-downs, so all is well on that front.
-My very old Revere Ware pots 'n pans, with copper bottoms are now his. And, I found a "last year's version" sale on a Scanpan collection for a little less than half-price. (Be still, my heart!)
-My very old "butcher block" knife set, which I bought in leaner times, but is still serviceable, is now his. Tomorrow, I'm going shopping for an upgraded set. (The mind reels)
-This weekend, I went to Ross (a US, maybe Canadian too) chain that buys huge lots of good brands of overstock from other stores, and sells them at a premium price. I bought; a peeler, a can opener, some tongs, measuring cups/spoons, a grater, and a small collection of stirring spoons/ladles. Who knows what he'll use? But, I had fun.

My husband and I received a gift certificate to a restaurant in Sulphur that we've eaten in before. We ate there recently, and the cost of our meal was less than the amount on the gift certificate.
But when we used the certificate, the man didn't give us any change and said he didn't have to and that he had applied the difference to the tip. Is this legal?
Neither state nor federal law explicitly addresses the situation, and the Louisiana Attorney's General's Office declined to answer the question.
Amanda Larkins, a spokeswoman for the attorney general, said only that consumers who have questions or complaints may call the agency's Consumer Protection Hotline, 800-351-4889.
Under state law, R.S. 51:1423, gift cards and gift certificates can't have expiration dates that are less than five years in the future, and the dates must appear on the cards or certificates "in capital letters in at least ten-point font" — which is slightly larger than the print you're reading now.
Card and certificate issuers can't charge dormancy fees, but they can charge a one-time handling fee of up to $1. Gift cards or certificates that bear no expiration dates "shall be valid until redeemed or replaced," reads the law.
Some tips for gift certificate and gift card recipients, according to the LSU AgCenter:
• Read the terms and conditions for the card or certificate; check for expiration dates or fees.
• Ask the giver for the original purchase receipt.
• Treat the card or certificate like cash.
• Use the card or certificate as soon as possible.

Could you tell me the origin of the word "Prien," as in "Prien Lake Road"? We also have a road here in Basile that's named "Prien Noir." I tried to look it up in a French dictionary, and there's no such word.
Prien Lake Road, of course, gets its name from Prien Lake, which used to be called Little Lake.
It gained a new name after land near it was settled by Cyprien Duhon, who, along with his wife, moved to the area from St. Martinville in an ox cart in 1820.
The locals eventually nicknamed him Old Man Prien and took to calling the lake Old Man Prien's Lake.
The case is much the same for the Basile-area road, which The Informer assumes is L'Anse Prien Noir Road.
The road takes its name from l'Anse de 'Prien Noir, or Black Prien's Cove, an area between Basile and Mamou that was settled by a man named Cyprien Cezaire, whose name — like Duhon's — was shortened by others.
The Informer answers questions from readers each Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. It is researched and written by Andrew Perzo, an American Press staff writer. To ask a question, call 494-4098, press 5 and leave voice mail, or email email@example.com

Found as one of many as we cached the Bear Bait trail today, myself along with Zuma, K-Spud and Sweetlife, signing as HIKSZ. We had perfect jacket weather all day, beginning with overcast and ending with glowing golden light filtering through the leaves at sunset. We quickly settled into a rhythm, each taking their turn jumping out for the find while the rest tried to spot the cache before the car was even stopped and often succeeding. Backroads caching is my favorite, and I enjoyed the views out the window as we passed from hardwoods to pines, pines to marsh and back again, very rarely running into other vehicles, and then parked hunters for the most part. We even had a chance to take a break and hunt a couple waterfall caches, breaking away at our sixty-sixth find on the trail for a couple hours of hiking to a couple remote ones. TFTC WabenoTrail, and for all the caches. Be cool Honeybunny!

I was asked to shoot Christina and Russell's wedding last year by Russell's mom Emily. I didn't get to meet Christina until the day of the wedding. I'll admit, that always makes me nervous. I usually like to talk with my brides multiple times before the big day. I didn't need to worry though, Christina and Russell, (the entire family for that matter) were so super laid back and just wonderful. I feel like we got along so wonderfully.
The wedding was held at Our Savior Lutheran Church in West Layfayette, Indiana. This is very near the campus of Purdue. We had such beautiful weather! Then it was off to dinner and dancing. Christina and Russell had the best music playing during dinner…..Michael Buble! As my family knows, he is my favorite, (well, him, Jason Mraz and John Mayer.) It is clear that he is crazy about her, ;^). I loved watching Russell with Christina. He was singing to her during their first dance, actually, I think he did that several times throughout the reception. Here are some of my favorites!
There wasn't a formal, "you may now kiss your bride", so I'm glad we were paying attention and watching them closely during this time of the ceremony.
Father-Daughter Dance
Congratulations Christina and Russell! I wish you many years of happiness and God's Highest and Best to you both.

I also know that most people that need or want 6x6 drive will be moving to a "medium" duty 4500 or larger truck. But I have seen some interesting combinations that are custom fabed for 6x6. Has anyone seen or does anyone have a 6x6 light duty silverado were all 6 wheels are driven? I know dodge did a ram prototype that never made it to production. And, yes, it can be done, and it is not cheap, but it is not as expensive as some might think: http://rides.trucktrend.com/ride/1187391/idrenak/2006/dodge/ram-3500/photos/8.html I want to see a Silverado HD 3500 outfitted like the ram in the gallery above.

Labour MPs remain gagged from discussing the punishment meted out to their colleague David Cunliffe, but Mr Cunliffe's electorate committee lodged a formal complaint about the treatment of Mr Cunliffe by his own colleagues last night.
Labour leader David Shearer has demoted Mr Cunliffe and stripped his portfolios off him, citing disloyalty for attempting to undermine Mr Shearer's leadership at Labour's annual conference last weekend.
MPs were told at the caucus meeting that only Mr Shearer would speak on the issue and it is understood MPs were sent another memo yesterday to remind them not to talk about the matter publicly.
However, the demotion prompted anger from some Cunliffe supporters on Facebook and the Standard blog as well as calls for MPs who had publicly criticised Mr Cunliffe to also be punished.
One of Mr Cunliffe's New Lynn electorate committee members, Greg Presland, said the committee had concerns about the demotion and the criticisms by other MPs, such as the chief whip Chris Hipkins.
At a special meeting called yesterday, the New Lynn Electorate Committee of the Labour Party voted unanimously to express its full confidence in Mr Cunliffe.
Mr Presland said Mr Shearer had the power to demote Mr Cunliffe so there was little that could be done.
"But there are concerns about the way David has been treated. A lot of the criticism we felt was unjustified."

Chances are better than not, he doesn't have any clotting disorder (assuming this is his first issue with clots), as he would have had to pass a physical to sign back. He was probably on a AC regimen for 6 months and the doctors will probably take weekly/biweekly blood tests to make sure his clotting factor stays within the norm.
And I also don't think we're "solid" with Joseph, Kuhn, Rogers, and Austin....Linval is the only one proven to be a full time starter out of that group.
Why the link? Wasn't this just an opinion? In any case, I'd say the jury is still out on Austin for sure. I'd like to see more from Kuhn as well. Rogers is a proven vet, but with mileage. Let's hope he has fully recovered and has more to give. All-in-all, I'd still say we are in a wait and see situation with the DT position. A good draft pick would still be nice.

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Isopto Hyoscine
GENERIC NAME(S): scopolamine HBrFind Lowest Prices
This medication is used to widen the pupils for eye examination or eye surgery. It is also used to decrease pain and swelling from an inflammation of the eye (iridocyclitis). It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. Scopolamine works by blocking the effects of a certain natural chemical (acetylcholine) on certain eye muscles, causing relaxation of these muscles. This effect causes the pupil to widen and the lens to temporarily lose the ability to focus. Scopolamine decreases pain in eye inflammation by relaxing the eye muscles.
If you are using this medication for eye inflammation, apply it to the eye up to 3 or 4 times a day or as directed by your doctor. If you are using this medication to widen the pupil, it is usually applied in the eye 1 hour before the procedure/exam or as directed by your doctor. This medication is for use in the eye only. Do not take by mouth or inject.
To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using these eye drops. Ask your doctor when you can start wearing your contact lenses again.
Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place 1 drop into the pouch as directed by your doctor. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure for 2 to 3 minutes. This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye and will also help reduce side effects. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than 1 drop or for your other eye if so directed. Wash your hands after applying eye drops.
If you are applying eye drops into a child's eyes, wash your hands and the child's hands afterwards. Be careful not to get any drops in the child's mouth.
Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), ask your doctor if you should continue to use them with this medication and when you should start them again. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye.
If you have been directed to use this medicine more than 1 time (e.g., for eye inflammation), use it regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day. Continue using it for the full time prescribed.
This medication starts to work in minutes, and its effect usually lasts for several days or sometimes longer. Tell your doctor if you continue to have blurred vision, sensitivity to light, or widened pupils 1 week after your exam. If you are treating inflammation, tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Temporary burning/stinging/redness of the eye may occur. Blurred vision, sensitivity to light, drowsiness, or dry mouth may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these rare but seriousmental/mood changes (e.g., confusion, hallucinations, memory problems), nausea/vomiting, difficulty urinating, muscle spasms.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: eye pain/swelling, vision changes (such as seeing rainbows around lights at night).
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

6010 - A little bit of info: the late Dr. Harry Hyde Laidlaw developed the best queen introduction cage to date. He was a professor at the University of California at Davis (the bee research center there is named for him). The best model of his push-in queen introduction cages was a 5" wide x 7" long x 7/8" tall (inside dimensions) rectangle of wood, covered on top with #8 hardware cloth, and the inside chamber was surrounded by a sheet metal strip protruding 3/8" below the wooden rectangle. There is no queen candy release port. Sometimes the queen takes longer than the candy lasts to get accepted by the host colony, resulting in her being attacked and often killed.
With the Laidlaw push-in queen intro cage, the beekeeper brushes empty of bees a comb that is quite level, with an area of mostly empty worker-sized cells (but about 10% capped honey and pollen), he places the mated queen onto the comb, then traps her under the cage without attendant bees from her own colony, pushing the sheet metal strip into the comb all the way down to the wood. He then replaces this piggy-backed cage/frame combo back into the hive for at least 2 days (longer as necessary - up to 40 days in some cases).
He watches the behavior of the bees before releasing the queen. If they appear to be making a "ball" over the queen cage, they are attacking her. If you see attending bees feed her, she is becoming accepted. The large area under the cage gives her room to begin laying eggs. Laying increases her queen substance production, particularly pheromones, that greatly promote acceptance by the host colony.
100% acceptance rates are often experienced using Laidlaw push-in queen introduction cages, quite useful as your taste in high-quality queens goes up the price-per-queen scale (also get a queen muff! I hate watching even a $20.00 queen escape and fly away, let alone a $100 I.I. queen, or worse a one-of-a-kind queen with unique genetics).
The cages are shown in his book, Contemporary Queen Rearing, available through Dadant and Sons. When I read this, I went to the shop and made a run of 50 of them - enough for all my hives at the time. My only modification was to make them so they fit into an empty Miller-type hive top feeder for convenient storage. The 7/8" depth under the hardware cloth (or screen) keeps her safe from attacking bees who seek to pull off a leg or wing, etc. The metal strip and wide wooden rectangle frustrates attacking bees from killing the introduced queen by digging under a push-in cage without these features in order to get at her. Note - if you are using all medium depth boxes, make the outside dimensions so the queen cage fits your frames.
CtyAcres - Mel Disselkoen's method does indeed produce excellent queens, my only criticism is that the flour wastes lots of brood, which is not that big a problem if you have lots of strong colonies. I like Dr. Susan Cobey's article, "The Cloake Board Method of Queen Rearing and Queen Banking".
Virginiawolf - Glad you liked Increase Essentials! I can't wait to get all of Dr. Connor's books, and take one of his classes, too! He's awesome.

Well just as an update to all you I have just ordered my package of bees. It is from Georgia bees. If money allows I will try for a couple of local nucs and already have a few cutouts scheduled for next month hopefully. I will try to implement the plan developed in this thread. Thanks all
Rick Kumer
Dr. Connor really explains the differences in colony growth rate mathematics in Increase Essentials. If the bees make it through the first year with a decent buildup, store lots of honey & pollen, and overwinter successfully, you should be able to split once and maybe even twice, depending on how next year goes for nectar flows. I would have ordered overwintered nucleus colonies or a full, thriving hive ready to split. I've always had better luck that way - the growth rates are there for splitting twice - way stronger than most package bee performance. You just need the year (nectar and pollen flows, really) to go good, too. Good Luck!

Just one more goody for you, Rick - if you aggressively pursue both comb honey production and queen rearing, you will get very, very good at a higher rate. The learning curve is kind of mean at first, but it will put pressure on you to really understand what's happening.
By producing honey-in-the-comb, you will get very skilled at knowing when the bees will swarm and what to do about it. Bees only make "perfect" square boxes of comb (filled and capped all the way to the corners) under ideal conditions, and when crowded like right before swarming. Read Dr. C.C. Miller's Fifty Years Among the Bees (there are other good books about honey-in-the-comb, too). You will also know exactly when to split colonies.
Queen rearing will get you understanding about high quality queens with good genetics vs. medium and low quality queens with undesirable traits.
These are perhaps the two most difficult-to-learn aspects of beekeeping. My attitude was, "Bring it on!" I read everything I can on both subjects, apply it to my situation, and ask lots of questions. I'm always trying new equipment, but then, I'm gagety, and an engineer/carpenter/machinist/millwright/gunsmith, so go figure. Oh, yeah and a fisherman and archer, too, so triple the "gagety" factor, haha.
Going hard at these two aspects of beekeeping, and keeping a notebook will have you making 2 splits a year as often as Mama Nature will let you and your girls do so sooner than you might have otherwise.
I want to thank you all for your helpful comments, Just as an update I am getting my package of bees this Monday and hooked up with the local swarm catcher and will hopefully have more bees in a another month or so. I will be implementing the info I have gleaned from all of you and with any luck I will reach my goal of 5 hives making it through winter. I will try to keep updated here if interested.
Rick Kumer
Well just as an update to my dreams/plans I was proposing. The packages took 2 months to draw out 7 of the 10 frames and she finally died I am in the process of re-queening , but the two swarms I caught filled 10 frames in three weeks and are starting on a second deep by the fourth week now right inline with what i thought would happen with the package last April. Oh well at least I got the three hives I was hoping for.
Rick Kumer
Rick- Did you feed sugar water or sugar syrup solution to your pkgs? How about the swarms,
did you feed them sugar water to them too?
Oh CtyAcres I kept the package fed for over a month straight and barley any progress the swarms both got one jar of syrup and that was it bit have some strips of capped honey on there frames now figure I was ones with the Bad queen that come out of Georgia that people talk about here on the forum. It was my first and only hive for a month so I had no other one to compare it to til the swarm, then I "seen the light" so to speak.
Rick Kumer
This is a really good post, I'll jump in with my 2 cents. I split nucs like you mention in your op all the time for mating nuc resources. The later you split them, the more likely you will have to feed or combine in the fall. and the more careful you will have to be to guard against robbing. Like others have said, it will be a trial and error learning curve on your end we have all gone or are going through.
My 2 cents will be, remember, the size of the hives and nuc going into the winter will determine your ability to capitalize on a spring flow. Large hives will have enough foragers to collect nectar and pollen and allow the hive to achieve early spring growth. Nucs will be able to collect enough to sustain themselves, but will not have enough to actively grow. With nectar available and they will not take up syrup ether-since they like the nectar better. 'You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink' That is the way I felt this spring when my overwintered nucs wouldn't grow much but wouldn't take up syrup. Smaller nucs will also feel the stress even with a small mite load that time of year.
So next spring, don't plan on those nucs growing fast enough to split early on. Some will requeen themselves and there will be a lack of growth because of an early brood break. All well and good as long as you are not wanting them to grow fast enough to split early on. Like a lot of things with beekeeping, you really need to do double the task to get what you want out of the deal.
I had good luck overwintering nucs with a sugar brick and protein patty on top, even though they had plenty of stores. I wondered how they could have open nectar in the cells next to the brood area in January. Must have been from the sugar. Special recipe too I'll share later.. I plan to write a thread on this with photos right before fall.
So all in all, would you be better off overwintering a bunch of nucs or a few larger hives? Do the math and count the frames, then consider the predicted springtime growth will be for each and where that will put your numbers-say mid summer 2014.
With nucs you wil have more queens available and suffer less of a loss with a couple nucs than a couple large hives. But larger hives are probably easier to overwinter. With all those nucs, queens and no real springtime growth.. are you better off?
Seems an easy choice. Just have a bunch of overwintered nucs and queens and then strengthin them with brood and stores from the strong big hives. But when it comes right down to digging in those flourishing big hives and breaking them up, do you really want to do that?
Always a give and take. And when you don't have the experience..sometimes it is not as easy to decide what is the right move.
I overwinter colonies of all sizes. Overwintered Production hives that are strong ,nucs and mating nucs I have let grow. Don't have my eggs all in one basket I guess. I am using Apivar now, so my large hives will not be so hard to manage after the flow. Before Apivar was approved in my state this year, I had planned to split all my large hives into single deeps after the flow so I could manage with ether hop guard or a brood break/new queen. Lots of options to think about. All need to be considered for your climate, timing and day length and resources available.
Also remember, this opinion is based on my experience with my management method and with in my climate. You may or may not have the same success depending on your situation.

Someone else on Beesource wrote: "Everything works if you follow the rules"
There is a quote I also like: " You usually get the experience you need...right AFTER you need it"
That quote MUST have been written by a beekeeper!

You're welcome. Like so many posts I write, I am in a hurry to get back to work and rush through my replies. It probably could have been worded better to make my meaning more clear. I hope you can make heads or tails of it

Price Elasticity: From Tires to Toothpicks
Students gain an understanding of price elasticity of demand and why different goods have different degrees of elasticity. Students learn how to calculate price elasticity of goods.
Elasticity of Demand, Law of Demand, Price, Substitute Good
- Apply the law of demand to the price elasticity of demand.
- Be able to define price elasticity of demand.
- Understand the factors that determine whether the price elasticity of demand is elastic or inelastic.
- Compare the elasticities of different goods.
- Calculate the price elasticity of a good.
Price elasticity of demand measures changes in the quantity demanded when prices change. Some goods are very elastic and others are very inelastic.
NOTE: The example in the student version is about on person's decision regarding price changes and a price change might not affect a group in the same way. For example, if 3 people shared a pizza, a $3 increase would only be a $1 per person in crease and might not affect their decision.
Quantity Demanded: This website provides an explanation of quantity demanded.
Price Elasticity of Demand: The price elasticity of various goods has been measured by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
Comparing Gasoline and Restaurant Meals: This is a fill in the blank worksheet. Students will be asked which of the two items would be the most inelastic, and what factors make it more inelastic.
Comparing Gasoline and Restaurant Meals
The price elasticity of demand, a measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a price change, may cause a change in price to have a small or large impact on quantity demanded. Inelastic goods such as gasoline are still purchased in approximately the same quantity even when prices rise. Elastic goods such as restaurant meals, movie tickets, and luxury items usually follow the law of demand and will see a drop in quantity demanded when prices rise.
Students should see the connection between the following factors and elasticity. These factors are the number of good substitutes, the degree of necessity, the proportion of a purchaser's budget consumed by the item, and the time period involved. If a good has a large number of substitutes, the more elastic it is. The fewer the substitutes, the greater the inelasticity. If the good is highly desired with few substitutes it may be more inelastic. If the good represents a small proportion of a person's budget, price changes do not greatly affect the amount purchased.
Gasoline is considered inelastic (meaning price changes have little effect on the quantity we buy).
Restaurant meals, on the other hand, are very elastic (meaning price changes greatly affect our purchase of them).
NOTE: This site offers definitions and additional graphs to help with instruction, and explanation of quantity demanded .
So very small items like a package of gum or an ice cream cone bought once or twice a month will likely be inelastic. In the short run, many goods are fairly inelastic but in the long run, the elasticity increases because consumers have time to change their consumption habits. Students compare two very different goods - gasoline and restaurant meals by completing the following checklist.
Students will complete the interactive activity about inelasticity. Students will be asked which of the two items would be the most inelastic [gasoline], and what factors make it more inelastic than restaurant meals [it is a want, not many quality substitutes and you must make the decision now as you are out of fuel. Restaurant meals would be the most elastic good as they are not required, have a number of substitutes, and you may be able to delay the decision.]
In response to the questions about the website, the actual price elasticity of short-run gasoline and restaurant meals are 0.2 and 2.3, respectively. This confirms the site information about price elasticity.
Have students compare the elasticity of the different goods on the Mackinac Center for Public Policy website. Then, have them complete the following activity. The answers to the questions are below.
Which products are the most inelastic? [Inelastic goods are salt, matches, toothpicks, short-run airline travel, gasoline, residential natural gas, coffee, fish, tobacco, legal services, physician services, taxi service, automobiles]
What factors would most likely explain why salt is very inelastic? [Salt is inelastic because there are no good substitutes, it is a necessity to most people, and it represents a small proportion of most people's budget.]
Why would the demand for tooth picks be inelastic? [Toothpicks are inelastic because they cost very little and represent a small percentage of a typical grocery budget and have few substitutes.]
Although both short-run and long-run gasoline are both inelastic, why is short-run gasoline more inelastic than long-run gasoline? [Short-run gasoline is more inelastic than long-run because in the short run, we have to buy gas to keep our car going. In the long run, we can switch to more fuel-efficient cars (including hybrid), ride the bus or walk more. But the short-run, those options are not available.]
What factors would likely explain why Chevrolet cars are very elastic? [Chevrolet cars would be very elastic because we don't have to buy that brand of car - we have lots of substitutes.]
- Why would tires have unitary elasticity while gasoline is inelastic? [Even though tires are a want if we drive a car, the decision to buy them is not as immediate as buying gas (unless we have a flat and must buy one to get back on the road). You can shop around for the best price as there are a number of brands and stores that sell tires. You can buy new or used tires so you have some substitutes. So even though we think of tires as wants, there is a greater flexibility in buying tires than in buying gasoline. This contributes to the higher elasticity of tires over gasoline.]
The price elasticity of demand is a useful indicator of how we would expect the quantity demanded for a good to change if the price of the good changes. Producers would want to know the price elasticity of demand before they changed the price. If they were considering a price increase, they would prefer an inelastic demand so that consumers would still buy approximately the same quantity at the higher price which would raise your profits. If the good were very elastic and you raised prices, you would sell fewer goods and possibly see a decrease in overall profits.
[NOTE: The following activities are excellent supports to the above lesson. It is strongly urged that you consider requiring students to do these activities as well]
Students calculate the actual price elasticity of demand for a good based on the formula below.
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded
divided by Percentage change in price
The percentage of change in quantitiy demanded is:
[QDemand(NEW) - QDemand(OLD)] / QDemand(OLD)
The percentage of change in price is: [Price(NEW) - Price(OLD)] / Price(OLD)
Based on the following information, calculate the price elasticity of demand for paper towels. At a price of $1, the quantity demanded is 10. At a price of $1.50, the quantity demanded is 3.
[Answer: percentage change in quantity demanded = (3 - 10) /10= .70
percentage change in price = (1.5 - 1) /1 = .50
price elasticity of demand for paper towels = .70/.50 = 1.4]
Students are asked if the good is elastic or inelastic [elastic] and if the answer supports what they have learned about elasticity [yes]. We would expect paper towels to be elastic because while they are very widely used, they are not required to complete a task, you can put delay the decision somewhat (unlike short term gasoline) and they have some substitutes such as cloth kitchen towels. However, they are not as elastic as such luxury items as movie tickets because paper towels are considered by many to be a want and they represent a fairly small percentage of a typical grocery budget.
"A very good example of how elasticity really works. The examples are real and make sense."
"I am a college student and I even found some of those activities helpful as extra practice for thinking about economics."
"This website is like a teacher to me. It gives me the feeling I am listening to a lecture."
"I am a high school junior who found this an excellent way to understand the elasticity of demand."
"I am an IB Economics student and I think that this lesson clearly explains what the PED is about. I found it very helpful as well."
"I'm a college junior and I found this lesson very helpful for students like me to understand price elasticity of demand. Thanks!"
"I am a provincial Coordinator for Economics. I found this lesson very useful in teaching elasticity. It gives a step-by-step illustration which I feel teachers can use this for learners to understand elasticity."
"I am a college student who found this lesson very helpful in understanding elasticity and decision making. Thank you."
"This site has been a great help because the examples make it easier to understand."
"This lesson helped me understand elasticity. Keep up the good work!"
"I'm a college student and this site is helping me get high grades in economics."
"This lesson help me understand the topic better. Well done to all the staff working on the site."
"Simple and very clear concepts. It really helped me understand the lesson which otherwise was still not clear."
"Thank you for the useful information on elasticity! Clear to read and understand."

Spring Style: Let Loose
Let loose this spring and step away from super-slim cuts for something a little more relaxed.
Launch Gallery
Every year, winter melts away and with the new season comes an onslaught of trends for spring and summer. Despite the influx of new (and often ridiculous) ideas, it becomes your job to adopt what works and avoid what doesn't.
With that in mind, we're giving you our picks for the best trends to take in stride, and which to step over completely.
Adopt: Let Loose
Sometime in the early noughties, skinny jeans flew in on the twig-thin legs of hipsters and pop-punk scene kids. Reminiscent of '50s cigarette pants but tighter, skinnies hit the ground running and never stopped. Once the subject of much ridicule, the skin-tight trouser was adopted by even its most ardent opponents. The battle was finally lost when suits, button-downs and chinos fell to the same constricting affliction.
But there is light at the end of that oh-so-tapered leg…
Whereas the skinny look is super uptight, the loose look is all about going for flow. Instead of too-slim cuts, scale back to closer-to-classic fits in lighter materials that will look and feel great for the warmer months.
What's Cool
• Carrot fit cargoes and chinos: Slightly relaxed from the seat to the knees but tapered to the ankle, well-made carrot fit pants are tight and loose in all the right places and send the relaxed look home. • Shorts: Resisting the urge to wear baggy shorts through the summer months is half the battle. But you can struggle a little less with shorts cut straight and just above the knee. • T-shirts: Thinnest, lightest jersey is the way to go. Wear them loose, drape-y and un-tucked. • Blazers: Make sure to get a good fit across the upper torso (go a little boxy in the shoulders if you're feeling bold), but a little wrinkle never hurt anyone. The juxtaposition of the formal and the carefree is kind of badass. Dig it. • Materials: Applicable to all of the above, Linen and Chambray are your two favorite new style key words. They look cooler than basic cotton (texture), but also feel cooler on hot days thanks to a slightly looser weave. One word: airflow.
• The idea here is not to look like a slob. Your clothes should still fit and be worn to size, but with enough breathing room to give you a laid-back summertime look. READ: loose, not baggy. • Be conscious of proportions. Too much linen could have you unintentionally looking like the Messiah, while a too-loose shirt atop fitted bottoms could shape you a little muffin-like. • For button-downs, take the classic fit. You still want the shirt to fit in the chest and shoulders, but a slightly let-out cut will still read classy while being a hell of a lot more comfortable.
What We Want
Rag & Bone Linen Blazer Carhartt Heritage Carrot Savant Pants Sidian, Ersatz & Vanes Classic-Fit Shirt
Avoid: Sweats
Casual comfort is king this spring, but some things are better left reserved for the gym and the homestead.
There's more to Spring Style than a loose fit. Try your hand at some fresh, bold colors.

Hallelujah! I passed GPEN with 87% :-)
What a nice feeling, and it certainly made me more aware of other topics I didn't have much focus on before.
I look very much forward to the day my certificate arrives
GPEN is a certification that will be linked to Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking, a course developed by Ed Skoudis of InGuardians.

Went ahead and took my freebie (from both CEH v7 and OSCP in the last year) GPEN exam, this morning, and passed, too. Just under 2 hours (1:54), with an 85%. So now there's 2 of us, in the past week!
Edit - BTW, without giving the questions out / away... Did you have a couple that you felt were ALL incorrect answers? I had one, and because I felt they were ALL wrong, I intentionally just picked the MOST incorrect one, anyway... I actually, supposedly, got that one right... Needless to say, I commented in the survey, afterward, about that one, and a couple of others.

Rd1- Chandler Jones DE, Syracuse
Tuck is 29 and has been somewhat injury-prone. Osi is gone after this year, and we don't have any young depth behind JPP. Jones would be the perfect replacement for Tuck down the road.
Rd2- Lamar Miller RB, Miami
Miller has been falling down the boards recently for a couple of reasons but he would be a steal here. He compares similarly to LeSean McCoy with his agility and top end speed.
Rd3- Michael Egnew TE, Missouri
Would be the perfect project TE to develop behind Bennett this year. He has prototypical height and size with GREAT athleticism. He is a polished receiver as well with 140 catches in the past 2 seasons.
Rd4- Tommy Streeter WR, Miami
With Cruz and Nicks drawing double teams, a guy like Streeter could light it up with his 6'4" frame and 4.40 speed.
Rd4Comp- Coryell Judie CB, Texas A&M
Atheltic with 6' height sounds like a prototypical Giants corner.
Rd6- Michael Brewster C, Ohio State
Draft stock has been falling but he was a much higher projected pick earlier in the year so he would be a steal here.
Rd7- Kellen Moore QB, Boise State
Take a page from the eagles playbook... Develop him behind Eli for a few years then trade him for a high draft pick.

IF YOU BUILD IT, they will come. And they will study it.
In educational program Physics & Fastballs: The Science of Baseball, baseball experts David Barker and Linda Shore of the San Francisco Exploratorium museum demonstrate the hidden science of baseball with movie footage, hands-on demonstrations and real-life examples.
"People don't recognize that science is part of the world," Shore said. "If you're learning how to pitch or learning how to bat, you're doing science. You're doing engineering. It's not something that's just relegated to people to have Ph.D.s and work in laboratories."
That's the main principle Barker and Shore want to leave the audience with when they bring the program to the Rafael Film Center on Sunday. Players from the San Rafael Pacifics will be there to demonstrate.
"This is a way to give you an entrance into some of the great mysteries of the game," Barker said. "This is a great way to get some of our core philosophies out to a wide variety of people."
The program begins at 7 p.m. and will include clips from movies The Natural and Bull Durham and a documentary, Knuckleball, thanks to partnership with the California Film Institute. Cost is $12 for general admission and $9 for CFI and Exploratorium members.
Barker referred to a scene from The Natural, in which Robert Redford hits a ball so hard it unravels completely in midair.
"That's totally implausible, bad science, but we'll use that to dissect the baseball," Barker said. With clips from Knuckleball, he and Shore can "use that as a platform to talk about pitch aerodynamics."
"As I studied aerodynamics ... I started realizing that some of the things I studied were part of pitching," Shore said.
The bottom line? Science shouldn't have to be a dreaded or intimidating subject.
"It's really part of lots of things, including your favorite pastime," Shore said.
Et cetera
Tuesday marks the Pacifics' return home for a 12-game homestand as the team welcomes the Hawaii Stars. First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m. After splitting its Vallejo road-trip series with the Admirals, the Pacifics (15-6) have a narrow half-game lead in the Pacific Association over 2012 second-place team Maui Na Koa Ikaika. The Pacifics host Maui following the series against the Stars.
Second-baseman Price Kendall is leading the team and the Pacifics Association with 26 RBIs. Infielder Kyle Dhanani leads the team with a .390 average, and pitchers Christian Scholl, Kyle DeVore and Tyler Pearson are tied for three wins apiece.

Hey, sorry Im a little late on the adventure. I just got the Url from my mom. ^^;;
Pretty neat so far, I hope to see more pictures.
As for the answer to your Irfanview problem, As far as I know, it does work in Linux, (however, with the hundreds of different flavours of it, theres a few kinks.) As far as low memory goes, Unless you're running with something around 32 mb of ram, you probably shouldnt have trouble running Irfanview, so I doubt its a memory problem (unless you were talking about harddrive space.)
One of the other opensouce programs available is GIMP, (not sure if you've heard of it before), it is a little heavier than irfanview, so I'm not sure what kind of rig you have set up, but it's a pretty solid choice for an image editor.
Anyhow, back to reading for me, enjoy your trip guys! ^.^

The park is close to a busy highway and CP/and or VIA has its train tracks on the hill right across the park so it was somewhat noisy especially when the train runs a couple of times at night and sounds its horn - we will be investing in ear plugs!
The drive through the Gaspe region is very scenic
The territory is divided into 5 areas:
The Coast and Haute Gaspesie region is dotted with many small coastal villages. It is also home to Le Nordais Windmill Park which has 133 windmills, the largest windmill park built in Canada. Not all the windmills were whirring when we were there.....but we could still here the peaceful swish of the blades. We were surprised that these windmills were set up about 20 years ago...ahead of their time. Did lots of the driving today, August 16th. Ended up at Forillon National Park in Gaspe and stayed for a couple of nights.
So far the camping and staying in the van has not been too difficult. The sleeping is quite comfortable in the upper bunk and we are keeping the meals simple and stocking up on provisions every few days
The town of Perce in the Lands End region is another tourist stop known for its pierced rock so we did the touristy thing and took pictures. We had originally thought we would stay in Perce for a night but there was not too much to do so we kept going.
On the drive out of Quebec towards the New Brunswick border we drove past a roadside stand where a man dressed in a sailors outfit stood waving beside a display of wooden sailboats. I (Rajiv) react slowly to such unexpected things, and several kilometers down the road I decided to turn the van around and have a look at the display. From our conversation in French, I gleaned that he had made the sailboats. The bodies were out of cedar, and the sails out of maple wood. The smallest ones were five dollars, and the larger ones fifteen dollars. I told him that he should sell them for more, but he felt that if he did he wouldn�t sell any boats. I bought two of his hand-made boats. What a great deal!
Leaving Quebec we were looking forward to speaking English again
Overall, the thing that stands out for the drive through Quebec is the ever changing landscape, out of Quebec City, through the hill and valleys of the Charveloix region, along the Saint Lawrence and Appalachain mountain range in the Gaspe and the coastal seaside feel in the valley as we drove into New Brunswick.
Finding access to an internet has been challenging. We haven�t had much luck, it�s either not available, down or inaccessible. Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something. So, there will be a time lag with the postings.
Our little computer is handy but there are limitations and one of our challenges is reducing the size of pictures so they are easy to download. We don�t want to compromise the quality of the pictures by taking them at a lower resolution in the event we want to get prints made so that is something we are still trying to figure out. If anyone has tips, would love to hear them. Tried downloading Irfanview, but no luck either. Dont know if it�s because the system we have is a Linux operating system or not enough memory.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures

Hi Richard,
Great to hear from you. Thanks for the info on uploading photos. We are both not too computer savvy. We find now that when we have high speed access and power, it seems to work not too badly. Hopefully we´ll see you when we get into Ontario and you can educate us more on this matter.
Take care
Rajiv and Bobbie
