The printer slows down after a couple of minutes, apparently to keep the heat levels down. 3. They lie! IIRC the ppm ratings refer to multiple copies of the same page, so the print engine only needs to render it once. Last year we got a cheap Brother HL-2020 which, surprisingly, will quite happily work through a JetDirect box on the network. I was also surprised at its speed but it does leave a bit of a curl in the paper.

GFM - Report and pics
After reading the excellent reports published already, there's not much to add really. So here's a few random thoughts, in chronological order... I really don't like bad turbulence - on a flight. I think I'd rather have bad turbulence of the 'I've eaten too much' kind any day. Fortunately everything went to plan and my trip was otherwise good. Nice to be back in the USA where nobody gives a shit ;-) I learned to drive when I was 15 in California at High School, so I'm not shy of left-hookers. However, piloting a 25 foot camper in the evening rush hour on the Beltway between the 66 and the 270 near DC was akin to having bamboo inserted up the fingernails. Luckily I got that hang of it and was soon cutting up all the mo-fos that had cut me up. The maxim 'give way to larger vehicle' does actually work. I drove to Germantown and met up with Christian. Great to see you again mate. We popped out for dinner to the Dogfish Brewery where loud waiters proclaimed their undying love for our occupancy of their table, repeatedly offered deals and sweeteners, swung by constantly in case there was anything we needed. Hi. I'm Carl and I'll be guiding you on your journey... I'm British. I'm used to being ignored in restaurants. We had beer. Well, it was between 9 and 18 percent and was served in brandy glasses, but they said it was beer. I found a 3.5% called Lawnmower Light and struggled not to ask what was in it. At least I could chug it down to combat temps in the 80s F and high humidity. Cesar, Stehen Moore, and long-time ex-lister Tom Van Veen (tv) joined us and so we sat and laughed at Christian's haircut all evening. I had a good time, thanks guys. Christian and his wife Kerry were perfect hosts for my pre-GFM sojourn, and despite my protests gave up their bed for me. This was above and beyond the call, but I relented and slept like a baby: I kept waking up and was sick everywhere. Christian was amused when I poured sugar on my Weetabix the next morning. Dude - California in the 70s, I keep telling ya! Cesar joined us for coffee and we sat on Christian's back porch where birds of every kind flew in for a nibble, Christian's Darkside 500/4 at the ready. That guy has a good eye for the birds. Cesar thoughtfully brought some ballast for the RV: 12 bags of gear. Why strain with indecision when there's all that room, right mate? After saying ta ta to Christian, we hit the morning rush hour traffic on the Beltway again. I don't think my driving had that bad an effect on Cesar. He was very quiet for the first few minutes, until I realised I was supposed to keep *between* the dashed white lines. 9 hours and several stops later we reached GFM about 6.30pm and met up with the occupants of PDML West (Cory's camper). Thanks for all the help setting up things like shore-lines etc (these campers are so big they have to be moored). Non-lister Bruce Metcalf waltzed over from his RV and insisted I borrow some levelling chocks for the rental RV. This theme of helping out set the tone for the whole weekend and people would simply come up to you and give you things. Being a Brit, I would just go up to people and apologise. This was Thusday, and so folk were slowly making their way up to the mountain. Great to see old friends once again (Cory, Annsan, Nico, Graywolf, Tom Reese, Doug, Mark, Bob, Don, Scott, Charles, Bill and Phyllis - the list is endless), and some new ones (Scott, Dave Brooks, Dave Savage, Mat, Mark Cassino, Ken Waller, and more - the names swarm in my mind). Please forgive me if I have left you out, it must have been the Lawnmower Light. Weather was cool and rainy, with dry spots in between. (Perhaps I should go on 'Mastermind' - specialised subject: Stating the Bleeding Obvious). The scenery is simply breath-taking and nobody who goes there can fail to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. Think then of my anticipation as I awaited the arrival of a very dear friend who I knew at school back in CA in the 1970s. Brian Kavanagh lives near Cincinnati and upon hearing of my trip, had decided to drive down to meet me. He duly turned up in his bright blue VW bug (too long a trip really for his Triumph 900 monster although it would have only been 6 hours instead of 8...) and we hadn't met in 28 years. It was quite a moment, and we soon discovered that we basically were carrying on where we had left off all those years ago. To be doing this at GFM was simply the icing on the cake. Great to see you guy, and now we'll keep the interim down to years, not decades! Saturday saw us hiking up GFM, huffing and puffing in Mark's dust as he rocketed up the mountain with a respectable crowd in tow. Kudos to Cory for keeping up with the Mountain Goat On Crack.

Brian Kavanagh lives near Cincinnati and upon hearing of my trip, had decided to drive down to meet me. He duly turned up in his bright blue VW bug (too long a trip really for his Triumph 900 monster although it would have only been 6 hours instead of 8...) and we hadn't met in 28 years. It was quite a moment, and we soon discovered that we basically were carrying on where we had left off all those years ago. To be doing this at GFM was simply the icing on the cake.

Night-Shining Clouds Sighted over Europe
From: SpaceWeather.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Night-Shining Clouds Sighted over EuropeDate: Thu, 07 Jun 2007 11:59:30 -0500 Space Weather News for June 7, 2007 http://spaceweather.com NIGHT-SHINING CLOUDS: Last night a vivid display of electric-blue noctilucent clouds (NLCs) appeared over parts of northern Europe, signaling the start of the 2007 NLC season. Noctilucent or night-shining clouds were first reported in the 19th century after the eruption of super-volcano Krakatoa. In those days, NLCs were confined mainly to high latitudes, but they have intensified and spread with sightings in recent years as far south as Utah and Colorado. The origin of these clouds is a mystery; they may be a side-effect of global warming. A NASA spacecraft named AIM is in orbit now to investigate. The peak observing season for NLCs is late spring and early summer. For the next two months, northern sky watchers should be alert for silvery tendrils spreading across the western sky after sunset. High-latitudes (Canada, northern Europe, Alaska) are favored, but NLCs are capable of descending unknown distances south, so it pays to be alert no matter where you live.

Re: GFM - Report and pics

At least I could chug it down to combat temps in the 80s F and high humidity. Cesar, Stehen Moore, and long-time ex-lister Tom Van Veen (tv) joined us and so we sat and laughed at Christian's haircut all evening. I had a good time, thanks guys.

This theme of helping out set the tone for the whole weekend and people would simply come up to you and give you things. Being a Brit, I would just go up to people and apologise. This was Thusday, and so folk were slowly making their way up to the mountain.

The scenery is simply breath-taking and nobody who goes there can fail to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. Think then of my anticipation as I awaited the arrival of a very dear friend who I knew at school back in CA in the 1970s. Brian Kavanagh lives near Cincinnati and upon hearing of my trip, had decided to drive down to meet me. He duly turned up in his bright blue VW bug (too long a trip really for his Triumph 900 monster although it would have only been 6 hours instead of 8...) and we hadn't met in 28 years.

Re: Let me brag a bit --OT
Well, maybe I should give that a try and find out... OK printing 11 copies of a page, one side only, and timing from when the first one hit the tray to the last one hitting the tray (10 copies with nothing else being done) was just under 20 second which is 30+ pages per minute. So they were not lying. Start up from sleep was about 15 seconds, or about 1/2 minute for 11 copies from the time I hit OK. Definitely faster than the old printer... -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- David Mann wrote: On Jun 7, 2007, at 3:44 AM, graywolf wrote: The thing is rated at 30 pages a minute. You will have noted that it only printed 10 pages a minute above. Three reasons for that: 1. duplex is a lot slower than one sided as the paper path for printing the second side is a lot longer than it is straight from the tray. 2. The printer slows down after a couple of minutes, apparently to keep the heat levels down. 3. They lie! IIRC the ppm ratings refer to multiple copies of the same page, so the print engine only needs to render it once. Last year we got a cheap Brother HL-2020 which, surprisingly, will quite happily work through a JetDirect box on the network.

In places like those mountains you can hide the fisheye distortion pretty well. Wow - nice lens. Remember I sold Albano Garcia's 17/4 for him, musty be 6 or 7 years ago? He sent it to me and I eBayed it, sending him cahs to Argentina hidden in a mutli-layered envelope full of prints to get past corrupt postal workers. I played with it before eBay and it was the one lens I could get excited about. It rocked.

A bit of Photoshopping involved: Perspective correction and the usual levels/curves/etc. to get the tonality roughly where I wanted it.

A different take on a common subject. I especially like the new green growth with the old green.
