Political and regulatory disruption often get the most attention as the likely brakes on solar's future growth. But a more pressing concern is the availability of crucial materials, says Chris Berry.
Last week Germany's E.ON announced its divestment from fossil fuels and a focus on renewable energy. First Solar's Christopher Burghardt explains why solar is becoming an increasingly sound bet for investors.
Europe so far looks to be the laggard in the PV capacity expansion drive now gathering a head of steam. But all the ingredients are there for Southeastern European countries to establish themselves as manufacturing hubs, says Matthias Grossman.
Earlier this week German utility E.ON announced surprise plans to divest from fossil fuels and focus on renewable energy. Tobias Engelmeier explores what utilities in India could learn from its move.
Demand for thin-film PV is still growing, but what about supply? NPD Solarbuzz's Finlay Colville looks at what is around the corner for thin-film PV as a technology offering to the solar industry.
Modules based on p-type multi c-Si technologies are set to dominate the PV industry over the next five years, according to analysis in the new NPD Solarbuzz PV Technology Roadmap report.
The EU agreed its 2030 climate and energy package last week with the end product leaving many underwhelmed. Frauke Thies, policy director at the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, explains how even this modest victory could be a first step toward a more stable policy future for solar in Europe.
In the beginning, there was nothing. At least there was no dielectric passivation applied to the silicon solar cells from the early production lines of the 1980s, an era when PV production companies were still thinking in terms of MWp rather than GWp factories.
How far can existing PV capacity go, in terms of keeping up with end-market growth? This is one of the key issues in terms of capital expenditures and tool suppliers waiting for an uptick in bookings. It is also essential to understand in terms of forecasting end-market demand in 2015, at a time when trade uncertainty and the preference for project financing is keeping new 'greenfield' fab build at a minimum.
In late 2011, Mission Solar Energy made the first of several bold decisions: build a silicon-based PV manufacturing plant in the US, a market long dominated by thin-film technologies. An even more unusual decision followed to locate the company in San Antonio, Texas, rather than California or Arizona where US solar markets are well established. Then, Mission Solar made the gutsy move to push forward with the development of an n-type monocrystaline silicon based product when the market was being dominated by p-type multicrystaline silicon modules coming out of Asia.
It appears the waiting is over during September 2014 for Chinese suppliers (and all other suppliers of modules to Europe), regarding the minimum import price (MIP) for the 3-month period October to December 2014 (Q4'14).
To sustain growth, the solar cell industry must constantly find better and cheaper technologies. Imec's Philip Pieters explains how in the quest to innovate manufacturers can benefit from working together.
Previously confined to the R&D labs and academic solar PV roadmaps, PERC based c-Si cell capacity upgrades are starting to have a tangible impact on the PV industry. Finlay Colville investigates the drivers, myths, opportunities and the impact of PERC on PV capex and module performance.
Google is offering a prize for prototype inverter that's smaller than a laptop. Cormac Gilligan of IHS explains why a successful proposal could pose a threat to existing suppliers.
Silver is a key raw material in PV manufacturing. But as Chris Berry writes, a deficit in global silver supply and the prospect of future price increases are both sources of concern for the solar industry.
Ahead of a free webinar from IHS Technology and PV Tech on 29 July 2014, IHS analyst Sam Wilkinson discusses some of key trends shaping the global inverter market.
Driven mainly by expectations of strong end-market demand growth this year, polysilicon spot prices increased significantly in Q1'14, up 15% Q/Q and 28% Y/Y. In Q2'14, spot prices are expected to remain relatively flat – or to decline moderately – as more polysilicon makers ramp-up production, in an effort to take advantage of the current price environment.
The UK is set to become the largest market for solar PV in Europe during 2014, confirming its status as the hottest market across the region.
During the past couple of weeks, two of the leading custodians of thin-film solar PV technology have restated or amended long-term industry plans. Finlay Colville assesses the future for thin-film PV technology
The uptick in solar end-market demand at the end of 2013 has been followed by new wave of PV cell and module capex. The missing part of the equation is spending on new wafer capacity, writes Finlay Colville.
Consolidation has been one of the most heavily used words in the PV industry over the past couple of years. But as Finlay Colville writes, whether it has actually happened or not is open to debate.
Following the latest round of downstream channel checks and project pipeline activity in the UK, NPD Solarbuzz is now further upgrading its forecast for the UK PV market in 2014.
The compromised solution agreed between Brussels and Beijing for the supply of Chinese solar PV components to Europe is approaching its anniversary. Finlay Colville looks at how the deal has panned out.
The recent announcement by US manufacturer REC Silicon that it would establish a new polysilicon plant has highlighted an upcoming trend in the polysilicon industry: the rise of fluidised bed reactor (FBR) technology. Will it live up to expectation, asks Johannes Bernreuter.
The news today that HelioVolt – one of the few remaining custodians of US based PV manufacturing – will cease operations is terrible news for the 100-plus employees that have been working hard at HelioVolt to advance PV manufacturing in the US.


text: NATURAL AND MAN MADE STRESSES ON THE STABILITY OF INDUS DELTAIC ECO REGION A. Inam, T. M. Ali Khan, A. R. Tabrez, S. Amjad, M. Danish, S. M. Tabrez National Institute of Oceanography, ST. 47 Clifton Block 1, Karachi Pakistan Abstract: The Indus River, that has created one of the world's largest delta and submarine fan system, is currently contributing a fraction of fresh water or sediment in to the Arabian Sea. Consequently, the seawater intrusion has resulted in tidal intrusion in the prime agricultural land in the Indus Deltaic region. Extensive use of fresh water for irrigation in recent years has caused a decline in the down stream discharge of the Indus River. Construction of barrages, dams, and link canals has further reduced the freshwater flow downstream Kotri Barrage from 146 MAF/year to less than 10 MAF/year. While in the Northeast monsoon period, Indus River downstream Kotri Barrage has practically zero discharge. As a consequence, the river below Kotri shows increased braiding and sand bar development. Sediment passing down the system tends to be deposited in the section south of Kotri, rather than maintaining the growth of the delta. As a result the Indus Delta that used to occupy an area of about 6,180 km2 consisting of creeks, mudflats and mangrove forest is now reduced to 1,192 km2 since the construction of dams and barrages on the Indus River. To mitigate the impacts of rising ground water and associated problem of water logging and salinity, a network of drainage canals was constructed down in the Indus Basin to drain saline ground water into the Arabian Sea. The drainage system has been less effective due to low gradient/flat topography and it has in fact resulted in the seawater intrusion into the link canals up to about 80 km upstream. The man made changes coupled with natural physical forcing in the Indus delta and adjoining area will conspicuously change the geomorphic and hydrodynamic setting of the delta, that may result in the associated changes in the prevailing physical processes, which in turn will have a negative influence on coastal resources, communities, 1 infrastructures, industries, ecosystems and habitats and socio-economy of the area. Introduction: The Indus River is one of the major river systems of the world and the principal contributor in the creation of the Indus Fan - second largest sediment body in the ocean basins, totalling ~5 x 106 km3. Recent geological and geophysical information obtained from the Pakistan margin suggests that the Indus River and Fan system was initiated shortly after India-Asia collision at ~55 Ma (Clift et al., 2001). The Indus river basin stretches from the Himalayan Mountains in the north to the dry alluvial plains of Sindh in the south. The area of Indus basin is 944, 574 sq. km (Asianics Agro-Dev. International (Pvt) Ltd., 2000). Most of the runoff generated in the Indus River catchment north of the Kalabagh comes from snow and ice melt. At the mouth of the Indus, east of Karachi the large, swampy Indus River Delta is formed, which, unlike deltas of many other rivers, is composed of clay and infertile soils (Figure 1). Seasonal and annual river flows in the Indus River system are highly variable (Warsi, 1991; Kijine et al., 1992; Ahmad, 1993). The analysis of the daily and monthly flows also indicates a similar trend (Bhatti, 1999). The largest flow of the Indus occurs between June and late September, that relates to the summer monsoon season, at which point the snow melt (from the mountains) increases the discharge of water along with the eroded sediments. Dams and barrages: Pakistan depends on irrigation and water resources for 90 percent of its food and crop production (World Bank, 1992). Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS) is the largest contiguous irrigation system in the world developed over the last 140 years. The vast irrigation system in Pakistan is comprised of three major storage reservoirs, 19 barrages or head works, and 43 main canals with a conveyance length of 57,000 kilometres, and 89,000 water courses with a running length of more than 1.65 million kilometres (Figure 2). This vast irrigation system feeds more than 40 million acres of irrigated land in Pakistan, a country with the highest irrigated and rain-fed land ratio in the world, 4:1. About 180,000 Km2 (~6.6% of the global irrigated area) is presently being irrigated in Pakistan (FAO, 2 2001). The contribution of rainwater to crops in the IBIS is estimated at about 16.5 bcm (Ahmad, 1993). Figure 1: Satellite image of Indus Delta The construction of the barrages and the link and irrigation canals has, over the years, led to a systematic abstraction of water from the Indus. The Tarbela dam and Chashma reservoirs have resulted in the siphoning off 74 percent of Indus waters before it reaches Kotri Barrage, the last barrage point on the Indus in the southern Sindh province. The deltaic area has been estimated to have reduced from 3,000 square kilometres (km2) to 250 km2 (Hassan, 1992). The overall impacts of man-made changes in the Indus River system are best observed downstream Kotri Barrage where prior to the Kotri barrage there were no days without water discharge (Figure 3). In the pre-Kotri period (1956-61), there was not a single day with a zero flow down stream Kotri Barrage. The occurrence of zero flow days progressively increased following the commissioning of the Kotri and Guddu barrages and the Mangla dam in the winter season. 3 Figure 2: Network of barrages and reservoirs on the Indus River (after Khan 2001). ZERO FLOW DAYS DOWN STREAM KOTRI BARRAGE 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Num ber of days/year Figure 3: Numbers of days per season with zero flow downstream Kotri Barrage (modified after Asianics Agro-Dev. International (Pvt) Ltd., 2000). The present situation is much more alarming due to below average rain fall in the Indus River catchment area as there are only two 19 56 19 -57 5 19 8 -5 62 9 19 -63 64 19 -65 6 19 8 -6 70 9 19 -71 74 19 -75 7 19 6 -7 80 7 19 -81 82 19 -83 8 19 6 -8 88 7 19 -89 92 19 -93 9 19 4 -9 98 5 20 -99 00 20 -01 03 -0 4 Years 4 months (August-September) in a year when Indus flows downstream Kotri Barrage. During a period of three years (2001-2003) NIO scientists regularly monitored the Indus River downstream Kotri Barrage. Zero discharge was observed during most part of the year between Sajawal (which is equidistant ~90km from upstream Kotri Barrage and downstream river mouth at Khobar creek. The fresh water reached the deltaic area infrequently during the summer (July-September). Recently Irrigation officials, Government of Sindh expressed his apprehension over the discharge of only 0.7 MAF of water downstream Kotri Barrage (Daily Jung, November 5, 2002). The Indus River is currently contributing hardly any sediment now, consequently, there has been intrusion of sea water upstream of the delta - at places extending up to 80 km in the coastal areas of Thatta, Hyderabad and Badin districts. Sindh's Irrigation and Power Department (IPD) has revealed that seawater intrusion has resulted in tidal infringement over 1.2 million acres of land in the Indus Delta. The twin menace of almost total absence of fresh water in the river downstream of Kotri and heavy sea water intrusion from the delta has destroyed large areas of prime agricultural land, including submersion of some villages in the coastal belt of these districts - causing desertification and displacement of several hundred thousand local residents who had been living there for many generations. The Indus delta is subjected to the highest average wave energy of any major delta in the world (Wells and Coleman, 1984). This is mainly due to the intense monsoonal winds which produce high energy levels. An extreme level of wave energy and little or no sediment contribution from the Indus River is transforming the Indus delta into a true wave dominated delta and development of sandy beaches and sand dunes along the former deltaic coastline is underway. Coastal developments Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan, is situated along the coastline in close proximity of Indus Delta. Being an industrial and commercial hub, Karachi is expanding rapidly. During 1970's the construction work of Port Bin Qasim was started to facilitate the industrial sector and also to provide relieve to the Karachi Port. A 45Km long navigational channel in the Phitti Creek connects Port Bin 5 Qasim with the open Arabian Sea. The deepening and widening of that channel has apparently initiated severe coastal erosion problem in the area and so far resulted in the massive destruction of barrier islands which used to act as the nature's first line of defense against coastal erosion (Figure 4). Figure 4: Barrier Islands in the Indus Deltaic area south east of Karachi are eroding due to deepening and widening of navigational channel (NIO, 2001). Un-planned Dredging and Beach Sand Mining The posh residential area of Karachi is located on the coastline. Additional coastal areas are being reclaimed for new residential schemes. However, these reclamations are being carried out without giving due consideration to the implications of reclamations on the coastal dynamics. For immediate economic benefits the coastal developers used sand, excavated from the adjacent beach or dredged from depths as shallow as 5m, as infill material without realizing that beach sand provides protection from high energy waves (Figure 5a). This reclamation has changed the pattern of energy dissipation on the beach face of Clifton resulting in the inundation of road during spring 6 tides in south west monsoon periods (Figure 5b). The situation has further deteriorated due to coastal erosion and resulted in the development of water inlet and total destruction of Marine drive along the portion of the Clifton Beach. Figure 5a&b: Mining of beach sand in front of a residential complex at Clifton Beach, Karachi. Inundation of Marine Drive, Clifton Beach Karachi is now a regular feature during South west monsoon. Agriculture Runoff, Water Logging and Salinity: The topography of Sindh is more or less flat therefore the natural flow of drainage is gradual that results in rapid increase in ground water table. The prevalent canal irrigation system has resulted in large scale water logging and salinity problems. To mitigate the menace of rising ground water and associated problem of water logging and salinity, a network of drainage canals was constructed down in the Indus Basin to drain ground water directly into the Arabian Sea. The drainage system has been less effective due to low gradient/flat topography and it has in fact resulted in the sea water intrusion up to about 80Km upstream (Panhwar, 1999). The sea water intrusion is much worse during the southwest monsoon (Figure 6). 7 Figure 6: One of the drainage canal in the Indus deltaic area of Keti Bunder where the sea water is entering into the irrigation land through the faulty gate. The Cyclone "2A" that landed in the Southern coast of Indus Delta during 20-21 May 1999 and caused huge losses to life and property, coastal settlements, development infra-structure, crop lands, agriculture industry in Thatta and Badin Districts. The sea water intruded into the irrigation land through the Tidal Link Drain of LBOD and resulted in the total calamity (Figure 7). Extensive damage was caused to the drainage system that has now collapsed and is not functional anymore. Sea Level Rise and Coastal Inundation: Pakistan is also facing sea level rise problem and its associated impacts. The tide gauge records of Karachi harbour for the past 100 years shows that sea level at Karachi has raised at about 1.1 mm/year and it is expected to be more than double during the next 50 to 100 years, resulting in 20-50 cm rise in sea level (Quraishee, 1988; ESCAP, 1996). There are no direct measurements available on subsidence rates in the Indus Delta, however, experience in other deltas indicate that subsidence rates at the delta must have increased due to lack of sediment flux. Indus Delta could experience a relative sea level rise of up to 8 to 10mm/yr as per the projected rate of global component of sea-level rise of up to 6mm/yr in the next century. 8 Figure 7: Devastation of Cyclone 2A in south eastern area of the Indus Delta (NIO, 2002). If the present trends continue the Indus Delta will ultimately establish a transgressive beach dominated by aeolian dunes, due to lack of sediment inputs and high energy waves (Haq, 1999). Conclusion: The anthropogenic impact of upstream water and sediment blockage has resulted in the shrinkage of active delta and stunted growth of mangrove forest. The beleaguered delta has been forced to face severe problem of coastal erosion due to unplanned coastal development in the area. The wellbeing of Indus Delta demands a realistic assessment of the minimum quantity of fresh water and sediments required to prevent total disappearance of the delta. There is need for a certain amount of water and sediment to be discharged in to the delta on year round basis. It is also important that the management of the delta should become a part of an integrated coastal zone management in a holistic manner to consider not only the coast but the whole eco-system, from the source to the catchment area, as well as the delta. 9 Reference: Ahmad, N. 1993.

Day trip to Kamakura
... etc. The highlight however was the 25ft tall statue of the 11 headed Kannon, which as legend has it, washed up on shore in the 7th century in order to save the land having been thrown into the sea years before in a far away place in japan (Unfortunately no photos were allowed of Kannon).

Andy's Izakaya is most famous but hard to find a spot. We reached at around 8PM and the bar was fully reserved with no space. We walked back and went to the opposite side of the tracks to spot an izakaya with a nice outdoor seating. Tried the Yakitori and house beer. You can't go wrong with it.

Laconia classmates mourn friend, root for recovery of another girl injured in crash
The condition of the injured girl, Alyssa Miner, has been upgraded to fair at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, where she was flown with critical injuries after both girls were hit by a car.
Another student, Lilyanna Johnson, 14, died at the hospital Friday night.
The girls were students walking home from Laconia Middle School when the accident happened about 2:30 p.m. Friday.
On Saturday, grief counselors and other members of the community were on hand to speak with students affected by the tragedy at the school during the morning and afternoon.
The Saturday session allowed counselors to be made available to students, who will be on vacation next week.
Students have also been invited to share their thoughts, remembrances and condolences through the school website.
"The LMS community is mourning the loss of Lilyanna Johnson and the injury of Alyssa Miner," said a notice. "Share your memories, thoughts and condolences."
Laconia Police Capt. Matt Canfield said the girls were hit when one car stopped at a crosswalk to allow the girls to cross the street and another car "suddenly veered" from behind the stopped car and hit one girl, a guardrail and the second girl.
One of the girls was thrown into the air and landed on the car's hood and windshield before falling to the pavement, Canfield said.
Police identified the driver of the car as Amy Lafond, 51, of 10 River St. Laconia,
Her car came to rest against the guardrail on the other side of the street, police said.
As of Saturday, no charges had been filed against Lafond in connection to the accident, Sgt. Dennis Ashley said.
Police are seeking information from anyone who may have seen the accident. Information can phoned to Laconia police at 524-5252, by calling the Laconia Crimeline at 527-1717 or at laconiapd.org

How do I stop this? Should I use a boolean to disable the button when the boolean is active and then somehow reset it when the user closes the VC by other means (such as tapping part of the screen that isn't the same VC)?

Iran tries to allay fears over nuclear programme
Tehran Iran will allay international concerns over its disputed nuclear drive provided its rights are fully recognised ahead of a major meeting with world powers next week, its foreign ministry said yesterday.
For the negotiations to swiftly bear fruit, they should recognise our rights and we will remove the concerns based on a formula agreed by both sides, Foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said. We are ready for rational talks in which our rights are fully recognised, and steps taken by the two parties are balanced and reciprocal, Mehmanparast said.
He also added that Iran is committed to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regulations, while refering to an edict by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has declared possession of atomic weapons a sin banned by religion.
On Saturday, Khamenei said Irans stance on weapons of mass destruction was not taken because the US is unhappy, but because it is based on a religious belief that nuclear weapons are a crime against humanity. Mehmanparst also said Tehran will enter the negotiations from a position of strength and not from a weak position as expected by the world powers.
The talks between Iran and the P5+1 group -- the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany -- will be held in the Kazakh city of Almaty on February 26, after an eight-month hiatus and failed meetings in Istanbul, Baghdad and Moscow.
The talks aim to address a key Western concern about Iran's capacity to enrich uranium to fissile purities of 20 percent, a process that can be used for peaceful atomic purposes as well as for making the core of a nuclear bomb.
Iran is under various international sanctions over its disputed nuclear programme, which the West and Israel fear is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.
Tehran insists its atomic work is a purely civilian programme with peaceful ends. The United States and its western allies have been accusing Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons under a civilian disguise, a charge that has always been denied by Tehran.

Charles Krauthammer: Who locked Johnny out of Yellowstone?
(1) Substance
President Obama indignantly insists that GOP attempts to abolish or amend Obamacare are unseemly because it is "settled" law, having passed both houses of Congress, obtained his signature and passed muster with the Supreme Court.
The reason is obvious: to prolong the pain and thus add to the political advantage gained from a shutdown blamed on the GOP. They are confident the media will do a "GOP makes little Johnny weep at the closed gates of Yellowstone, film at 11" despite Republicans having just offered legislation to open them.
The most ubiquitous conventional wisdom is that the ultimate cause of these troubles is out-of-control Tea Party anarchists.
But is this really where the causal chain ends? The Tea Party was created by Obama's first-term overreach, most specifically Obamacare. This frantic fight against it today is the fruits of the way it was originally enacted.

"Fantastic stay - once again!"
5 of 5 starsReviewed January 13, 2014 for a stay in December 2013
This is the third winter holiday we have had at Snowy Pockets, as well as one summer one. It is a large, comfortable home and we are always very well looked after by Helen and Mike and their team. It is a treat to have delicious meals prepared for you as well! The chalet is close to the bus stop where you can take a free bus to the slopes or ski school. A really great holiday, particularly for a large group of family or friends.

A lovely chalet in a beautiful place. Great hospitality and a thoroughly enjoyable week. Many thanks.
- Henry & Lesley Fairweather, March 2012
On behalf of helmut and I and the entire family, many thanks for such a wonderful holiday! Your chalet is lovely and homely and your hospitality and cooking even more wonderful! It was without a doubt the best ski holiday experience we have all had!
Arosa is great as a ski resort also and we were lucky to have such good snow conditions, but the chalet experience definitely made the holiday. And all that delicious food!
So a huge thank you from us all and we will definitely be returning one day! Wishing you all the best for the rest of the season and your new chalet in france.
Best wishes from alsace

We had a wonderful ski holiday with the family. Arosa is great. Lots of snow and sun and the perfect hosts. We loved the dinner parties, all joined at the big table chatting about the days adventures. Thanks to Helen & Mike for their caring attitude - it was a perfect holiday for three generations.

"Wonderful holiday - again"
Reviewed January 8, 2012NEW
We spent a week in Chalet Runca in mid-December 2011. This was our second winter stay in the chalet and we have also spent a week in the chalet in the summer. Each holiday has been a huge success.
The chalet is very big - with 5 comfortable bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. The owners, Mike and Helen, help to look after you perfectly. A huge bonus is the option of renting skis and boots directly from them as they have a wonderful extensive choice and Mike will ensure that they are fitted correctly. They cooked breakfast, made a cake for tea, and a three-course dinner at night. Bliss.
The chalet is a 2 minute walk from a bus stop, with a free bus running directly to the ski slopes, so it couldn't be easier. Plus, because Arosa is so high up, you are virtually guaranteed to have snow (as we did certainly this holiday!).
In the summer, it's a very easy self-catering option with plenty to do, in a typical Swiss summer kind-of-way - lots of walking, swimming in the lake etc.
All in all, Chalet Runca is highly recommended. It is big, very comfortable, and clean, and perfect for large gatherings of family or friends. We will certainly return again.
Stayed December 2011, traveled with family
- Anna Van Zyl, January 2012
We have just returned from spending a week at Chalet Runca with all our children and partners from far flung corners of the globe. We had a marvellous time at Chalet Runca, looked after by Mike and Helen Onions and enjoying their wonderful meals (not forgetting cakes and tray bakes that were waiting for us on our return from the ski slopes when we were starving!) They were very willing to answer all our questions and help us in any way they could. The chalet was very warm and comfortable and felt like a real home-from-home. We would not hesitate to recommend the chalet to anyone who is thinking of visiting Arosa. The resort is snowsure (having been there twice, I can confirm that) and the slopes are quiet. There is plenty to do for those who don`t want to ski, with walking paths up to all the mountain restaurants, an ice rink, shops, cinema and sleigh rides which go through the woods, or can take you up to some of the mountain restaurants. Arosa is a resort for all ages.
- Jane Duncan, January 2012
Wonderful Chalet!
From the food to the ski rentals and everything in between, Helen and Mike did an incredible job during our stay! They were very hospitable and answered all our (many) questions about the area and gave some excellent recommendations. I would love to visit arosa again in the winter as the snow was fantastic! I just wished I could of stayed longer...

Fantastic week in Arosa
We had an absolutely wonderful week staying at Chalet Runca in Arosa. The apartment is very comfortable and well-appointed and has access to a lovely garden. Helen from Snowy pockets is delightful, and incredibly helpful. Arosa is a perfect resort for families, and the nearby Badi bathing lake was a highlight for all of us. Thanks Snowy Pockets for a fabulous holiday.
- Brian, August 2011
"Completely wonderful family holiday!"
This is an amazing family run chalet with the best child care which meant my husband and I could happily leave our twin 20 month old boys to have a fabulous time while we enjoyed all the great skiing and gorgeous restaurants. We also watched horse racing on the beautiful frozen lake at the centre of lovely arosa, sledged, sunbathed and generally had a marvellous time. The chalet is so comfortable and well equiped - the sauna and steam room are fab at the end of a long day skiing! The food was sensational with a different cake every afternoon and a special fuss made for my husband's birthday too which he loved.
Our party spanned the ages of toddler to OaP and we all loved it. Arosa has much to offer for the non skier and great pistes for those who do. Chalet Runca is conveniently located so one doesn't need to carry heavy skis far and we managed to ski all the way back. I completely recommend Helen, Mike and their gorgeous children to those who fancy a fantastically comfortable and convenient chalet in a lovely resort, wonderful food, brilliant ski instruction and as much or as little freedom from your children as you'd like! Can't wait to return.
- Vix, January 2011
So here's my own personal top 10 list (in no particular order):
Having a tame English ski instructor, who can point out the best runs and bars is fantastic
In house ski hire
My boots and skis were the best I've ever used - it helped me tackle a black run with something approaching a finesse that I couldn't have dreamt of 17 years ago.
A lovely chalet manager who knows Arosa from a parent's point of view and could give us great ideas on how to entertain our little monsters
Chalet Staff
The cooking was delicious and the chalet was spotlessly clean at all times.
I loved the fact that it was not solely focussed on skiing - it was somewhere I could come back to time and time again.
Wine and the beer
Great choices and really helped to relax those tired muscles.
Sauna and Steam room
A real treat, very professional and luxurious.
The views from our windows
Just astonishing.
Sophie and Austin
Two charming children with a sense of mischief and real character...
Toboggans in the garage
I love tobogganing
Pratschli Stall bar
I hate the fact that I only had one beer in this wonderful bar I'm definitely coming back to have another beer or three here, and I haven't even mentioned the boot warmer - what a great idea...We'll see you soon
- The Keene Family, January 2011
Great resort for a family ski (or summer) holiday. Lots to do apart from skiing. Fantastic sledging!
Free bus service all around town so you hop on a bus 20m from your doorstep and get off at the lift stations.
Chalet run by lovely English family. Meals were very good.
Steam room and sauna.
- mumsnet, January 2011
Great holiday in comfortable surroundings
Our group of 10 have much enjoyed 3 successive holidays at Chalet Runca. The chalet is large, well furnished and managed by Helen and Mike who cook and clean for us, so are on hand for any assistance. The chalet location is only a few paces from the ski bus stop and buses run at 20 min intervals throughout the day, getting you to a lift in 4/5 mins.
We have known arosa since first taking our kids there almost 30 years ago. It isn`t a large area but is ideal for families and intermediates and has extensive pretty walking areas for those who don`t ski.
Last year our children, now both married, returned the week after us and had a great time off piste skiing to Davos and Lenzerheide.
We particularly enjoy the mountain restaurants which are very good and are well located to attract walkers and skiers.

One of our valued guests review:
Our large party of 3 families (kids ranging in age from 4-14) were exceedingly well taken care of in all aspects. The chalet food was super delicious and plentiful, the hosts including owners and chalet girls were brilliant, the chalet itself was homely, inviting and very spacious and the location is easy (bus stop more or less outside the door). Helen and Mike can't do enough for you; they are really excellent hosts.

September 30, 2010 - Posted by Elizabeth to Guides, Gel Ink Pens
Here at JetPens, we import a majority of our pens and pencils directly from Japan. Because the Japanese written language uses complex and detailed characters, you can find some of the thinnest pens over in Japan, which are great for writing kanji. Even though our own Roman-based language alphabet is pretty simple in comparison, we sometimes find the need to write detailed notes in a small area. Some of us just prefer finer line width from our pens as well. The team at JetPens has compiled a list of our favorite fine point pens for your perusal.
Pilot G-1, G-2, & G-3 Gel Ink Pens
The G-2 is America's number one selling gel ink pen. Available in a 0.38 mm in 0.5 mm size. Features retractable and capped versions and has a sturdy tip. Comes only in standard colors such as black, blue, red and green. Also check out the slightly more inexpensive Pilot G-Knock.
Uni-ball Signo DX UM-151 Gel Pens Available in a 0.28 mm, 0.38 mm and 0.5 mm size. This particular line tends to be very popular among medical professionals. It has a nice color range, strong conical tip, and smooth ink flow. Excellent all-around pen.
Uni-ball Signo RT UM-138 Gel Pens

Siva is a JetPens customer who is currently studying illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technology. You can see more of his work at http://sivajack.carbonmade.com and http://www.flickr.com/photos/seevah. His fun children's illustrations combine colorful cartoons with a sense of humor.
Give us a little insight as to how you use our JetPens products in your illustrations.
When I want to create something bold and cartoony I always go with Sakura Microns just because it is easy to produce such a bold/thin line with them. I find it easier to pull out a micron when I am in the middle of the street with an idea instead of a dip pen. But when I in my studio working on something with more detail I will always pull out my Zebra G-pen and maru nibs.
Thanks for sharing Siva!

Supreme Court Shoots Down Large Parts of SB 1070, Arizona Immigration Law That Rubio Dislikes, Romney Might Dislike, Who Knows?

Ted Kennedy and John McCain worked out a very sensible, thorough immigration bill that provided for a long-term path to citizenship for illegals. Kennedy died and McCain then opposed his own bill so he could win the 2008 nomination by pandering to the racists and religious fanatics in the Republican Party. The President of the United States doesn't enact such legislation. The Congress does, and then he signs it or vetoes it. Anyone who blames Obama for this is an ignoramus and a moron.
