Heaven in Hermosa
Incredible House!!
Beautiful stay in Costa Rica
Beautiful Home with great service!
The bedrooms are large and spacious and with each one having its own bathroom, it was awesome!
We enjoyed the pool daily, and the wonderful lounge chairs.
The only negative , which are not really that negative, but was that all the entertainment was ran by one controller and if you cant get one thing to work, it is really hard to troubleshoot. The main TV in the family room did not have connection and the outside music did not work on the patio. It would have been nice to utilize these items, but it was not a vacation buster in any means. The TV in each bedroom still worked and the indoor stereo worked as well. Im sure the owners will have someone check this out as we reported it to the manager.
Overall, this home was a wonderful place to stay.
From the Owner
"Villa Royal Palms vacation rental is located at Hermosa Palms, a gated community in Playa Hermosa, Jaco. Playa Hermosa's exotic black sand is where thousands of turtles come each year to lay their eggs, this is the reason why it is protected by the Costa Rica government. It is also world famous for its surf breaks (right in front of the house), so if you have come to Costa Rica to surf, you won't have to leave your bed to check the waves. Playa Hermosa is only 15 minutes away from the main town of Jaco Beach where you will find lots of restaurants, nightlife, supermarkets, banks, clinics and much more."
Activity and Interests
The quaint little town of Jaco is only eight minutes away. Jaco got on the map because of surfers, hikers, and wildlife naturalists from all over the world who fell in love with this diamond in the rough. Jaco caters to tourists with fun shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. Luxury beachfront living in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica has so much to offer. Most beautiful beach in the world and therefore named Playa Hermosa which means 'Beautiful Beach'. Also known as one of the most desired surfing locations. The Billabong World Surf Championship was held on Playa Hermosa July 28th - August 9th, 2009.
Scarlet McCaws 'Lapas' and Tucan's flying in the wild as well as the most species of birds in the world are here in Costa Rica. Orchids and hundreds of flowers, tropical plants and palm trees of every kind, the most beautiful sunsets from our terraza and pool are only a few things that make you feel you are in heaven on earth.

I bought The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds recently and thought it was wonderful.
It's about a young girl who doesn't think she can draw, but who has an amazing art teacher who encourages her creativity and artistic self-confidence.
Maia enjoys The Dot and wants to read it several times in a sitting, but the book is really aimed at older kids and even adults. Maia, of course, hasn't gotten to the stage where she might question her drawing ability and I hope that she never does.
I worried a little (as I worry about everything!) that by reading her a book about a child who doesn't think she can draw that I might be introducing the concept to her. But in the end I decided that the book is really about a girl who grows tremendously in creativity and confidence and who goes on to draw and paint enough for a whole art show.
And really, I shouldn't worry so much!
The Dot is a book about creativity
And is written to encourag artistic self confidence.
Update: We now have and love all of Peter Reynolds' books!
(We bought ours separately, as they became available, but now you can also buy them as a special Creatrilogy box set.)

Syrian clashes reach 12th century Aleppo mosque
He said some of the injured are in critical condition.
In Rome, Kerry is meeting Syrian opposition leaders and their Western backers in a bid to bolster Assad's political opponents and speed up his ouster.
The U.S. and its European allies have been reluctant to arm the opposition fighters on the ground for fear the weapons could end up in the hands of Islamic militants, battling Assad's troops among the rebels.
So far, the U.S. has largely limited its assistance to the Syrian opposition to funding for communications and other logistical equipment.
Associated Press writer Albert Aji contributed to this report from Damascus, Syria.

'Chess the Musical' brings together Fil-Am bicoastal talents
More News from Hiyasmin Quijano
More News from INQUIRER.net U.S. Bureau
LOS ANGELES—Some 600 people showed up to audition for the East West Players' production of "Chess the Musical," and eight Fil-Ams came away with more than half of the 15 available roles.
The Fil-Ams are Joan Almedilla (Florence), Victor E. Chan (Fredrick), Ray A. Rochelle (Molokov), Cesar Cipriano (Ensemble), Jasmine Ejan (Ensemble), Shay Louise (Ensemble), DT Matias (Ensemble) and Justin Vasquez (Ensemble).
"Chess" is directed by Tim Dang, with musical direction by Marc Macalintal and choreography by Marc Oka. The East West Players' production portrays underpinning political conflicts that were muted in the Broadway version of the musical. "'Chess' is usually performed as a concert, focusing on its music, and is rarely done as a full theatrical production," says Dang, EWP producing artistic director.
Dang is proud of the casting: "It enriches our theater-going experience, reflects the community in which we live, and offers opportunities to talented artists of color who might not have access to these roles elsewhere.
East West Players (EWP) is the nation's largest producer of Asian-American artistic work and the longest-running professional theater of color in the country. "Chess" portrays the multicultural and global dimensions of the game via a love triangle set in the middle of an international chess battle between the US and Soviet Russia.
Joan Almedilla's character, Florence, is the manager of Freddy, an American grandmaster. Florence falls for Freddie's strategic Russian Championship contender Anatoly.
The players are treated like diplomatic representatives of the US and the Soviets, or as Victor E. Chan's character Fredrick puts it, "I am democrat and you are Communist!"
That eight Fil-Ams are in the play is something of a breakthrough, given the challenges Fil-Ams must hurdle in the U.S. entertainment industry.
"It is still hard to get casted, unless it is something specific," states Chan.
The Filipino casting of "Chess" also breaks down ethnic barriers. "The more popular Asians—such as Chinese, Japanese, Koreans—are more likely to be booked. Some Filipino-American actors go as far as changing their last name to sound more like a popular 'yellow Asian,' explains Ray A. Rochelle.
Almedilla says her parents still encourage her "to try other things, like physical therapy." But her advice to young people is "Go for what makes you happy! Do what you love to do." Cesar Cipriano adds: "Embrace your personal journey!"
DT Matias says his parents have been supportive of his career choice. "My mom and dad said to me after watching 'Chess' and the scene where I was only in underwear: 'Oh! You have been working out huh!'"
Meanwhile, Shay Louise, the youngest Fil-Am in the cast, says she realized after acting that she was also interested in science. "I am currently in college as a Pre-Med student. I want to do both acting and medicine."

Lucio Tan group buys 30.5% of PNB
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Tycoon Lucio Tan has started the consolidation of his banking units into holding firm LT Group Inc. with the purchase of a 30.5-percent stake in Philippine National Bank, the surviving entity in the merger with Allied Banking Corp.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Tuesday, LTG said it had acquired seven companies which own a combined 22.72 percent in the merged PNB-Allied Bank entity, which the group said had "effectively set in motion the consolidation of the banks in LTG."
These seven companies are Donfar Management Ltd., Fast Return Enterprises Ltd., Fragile Touch Investments Ltd., Mavelstone International Ltd., Uttermost Success Ltd., True Success Profits Ltd. and Key Landmark Investments Inc.
In addition, LTG said it would acquire additional indirect ownership in PNB through investments in four companies owning a combined 7.77 percent stake in the merged bank: Merit Holdings & Equities Corp., Ivory Holdings Corp., Leadway Holdings Inc. and Dunmore Development Corp.
But these four companies will still have to jack up their authorized capital stock to accommodate the investment of LTG. The disclosure said these companies are still awaiting approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
PNB and Allied Banking have consummated their legal merger via a share swap deal effective Feb.9, with PNB as the surviving entity.

Fables and fairy tales
The nine-year-old Becky lived happily with her family in a cosy small cottage near a green wood in the English country. Her mother, Alison, took care of the house and the orchard and her father, Bob, was a woodsman. Their life was peaceful and serene.
Becky was a tall, slim and aerial girl with blue dreaming eyes and golden hair. She was very kindhearted and loved her parents so much, she would do anything for them.
She was a very special girl, she had a gift: she could understand plants and they talked to her.
She liked to go into the wood, sit down under a tree and talk with branches, flowers and leaves.
She used to have long conversations with them and spend there whole mornings and afternoons. Trees were her dear friends and wise teachers. Thanks to them she had learnt the four seasons and how they affected all the world around, the beauty of the country in Spring, the full splendor of colours in Summer, their marvellous changing in Autumn and the whiteness of Winter when nature sleeps waiting for Spring.
There was once a Rajah who was both young and handsome, and yet he had never married. One time this Rajah, whose name was Chundun, found himself obliged to make a long journey. He took with him attendants and horsemen, and also his Wuzeer. This Wuzeer was a very wise man,--so wise that nothing was hid from him.
In a certain far-off part of the kingdom the Rajah saw a fine garden, and so beautiful was it that he stopped to admire it. He was surprised to see growing in the midst of it a small bingal tree that bore a number of fine bingals, but not a single leaf.
"This is a very curious thing, and I do not understand it," said Chundun Rajah to his Wuzeer. "Why does this tree bear such fine and perfect fruit, and yet it has not a single leaf?"
"I could tell you the meaning," said the Wuzeer, "but I fear that if I did you would not believe me and would have me punished for telling a lie."
"That could never be," answered the Rajah; "I know you to be a very truthful man and wise above all others. Whatever you tell me I shall believe."
There was once a King who had three sons, and he loved them all equally, one no more than the other.
When he had grown old and felt his strength leaving him, he called the three Princes before him.
"My sons," said he, "I am no longer young, and soon the time will come when I must leave you. I have it in mind to give the kingdom to one or the other of you now and not to leave it for you to quarrel over after I have gone. You have reached a time of life when you should marry. Go forth into the world and seek, each one of you, a bride for himself. He who brings home the most beautiful Princess shall have the kingdom."
The three Princes were well content with what their father said. At once the two elder ones made ready to set out; but the youngest one said he would wait a bit. "It is not right," said he, "that our father should be left alone in his old age. I will wait until my brothers return, and then I too will start out to try my fortune in the world."

This is not just another re-rendering of the so very popular Fairy Tale with the same name ('Cinderella') by Grimm Brothers. It is a thoroughly mistaken notion to put away this work as uninteresting and lackluster with just a look at the title. The wise reader must read himself and then decide.
Once upon a time, in a kingdom far way, there lived a beautiful girl named Ella with her very wicked step-mother and her two equally detestable step-sisters. Her step-mother was as cruel by nature as she was ugly by appearance. She made Ella work really hard with not a single kind word for all her hard work.
While her undeserving daughters enjoyed the pleasures and luxuries of life, Ella toiled hard, day in and out. The lazy step-sisters made Ella do all their work while they indulged in idle gossip. Ella was as sweet-tempered and kind-hearted as her late mother who had been the embodiment of goodness and kindness during her lifetime. Then when Ella's Father had remarried after her death, things had taken a harsh turn for poor Ella.

Arya Samaj Primary School Kindergarten students in their favourite character costumes during their
character parade at the school yesterday. Picture: JONACANI LALAKOBAU
PARENTS play a pivotal role in the fight for childhood education.
This was the message at yesterday's Arya Samaj Primary School Kindergarten preschool week celebration.
Teacher Suman Lal said according to the theme Quality Childhood, Quality Future, effective childhood education should be an encouragement to all parents.
"So we request parents to support their children in early childhood education because it plays a vital role in their development," Ms Lal said.
"It is very important that parents do their best with their children because their mind is developing very fast and when we tell them something, they will never forget it throughout their life."
Yesterday, students were dressed up in their favourite cartoon characters as part of the celebration.

Obstefelter I agree, attached them better, threw shadows under them. I like all of your concepts, though admit I like the middle one best.
Agent Melon Thanks!
Pitchblack Thanks.
Naidy The feet look much better.
Rayna Yes, the legs and hips are more natural.
So many great designs...This week is turning out great.
More progress on the wings and mask. Worked on the jewelry bits. I'll be the first to admit the detail portion always takes me ages. Not sure if I'm happy with the color of the wings yet. I might drop them back to a more orange-gold tone.

Looks like Alexanderjr and I had similar ideas about a goblin with a plague doctor mask.
Thought I'd post a WiP to see if anyone had any ideas of how I can improve.

Work in progress! I'm probably going to redo the horse part altogether after I find good reference, as of now I'm having a lot of trouble with it.
July 11th, 2012 #65
Spastic Potato The front of the horse seems fine, but I think the problem lies in that the back end needs to be swung back and to the left so the back hips align with the front hips. The line of the back is too low as well.
Update. I'm not sure if there's anything else I plan on doing, or if I'm just going to move on to the character sheet...

Prepsage: haha. poor guy.
TheLuvableNerd: it's so fluffy! The one without the mask works best.
Dryleg: You could maybe move the mask to the other side so we can see his expression better?
Alexanderjr: Interesting shading technique.
Pixeltuner: Sweet!
RaynaCendre: Belt is very piraty, so if you want to avoid that, give him a more aristocratic looking pants. Owl mask is cool, you could maybe shrink the beak a little?
Howie: Number four.
Buttermonster: Stylish!
Naidy: Clearly an improvement. He's looking good. Thanks for the feedback, I took your advice
Parsakoira: I like her with a big head. She's not human after all. Shaping up to be a winner.
Elbi: Pretty lady, but make her more Orcy I would say
Whiskey Sour: Great mask, and Face! His cape has some strange folds, and he needs some sort of background even if it is just a mess of colors or something.
Havok_Reed: The skin palette you have there is a little uniform in hue. Try to change it towards orange for the highlights.Still liking the idea.
Spastic_potato: The shoulders and neck of the horse look like a ball shape. There are a lot of muscle and bone structure in that area wich is very characteristic. Definitely get reference for that. I like the unicorn mask design.
hemlock-key: You could improve the dress if you shade it as one shape. Now all the folds are shaded separately.
makilolo: I think it is very nice. She's not too human in my opinion, but you could maybe add some magic effects to the final to make sure. I'm having trouble reading how the dress and leggs are arranged. Is she standing behind some sort of wall?
What is uglier than an angry ogre? A happy one.
Some stuff still needs working on but the design is pretty much there. I changed the costume from harlequin into a Pulcinella one. The mask has a better nose.
I imagine the ogre has snuck into the party and thinks that no one suspects he is there because he is all disguised and stuff.

makilolo - Lookin good, can't wait for the addition of fairy elements.
prepsage - had to laugh, good idea.
Pixeltuner - lookin good as usual.
Howie - nice sketches! curious to see which one you go with.
Buttermonster - LOL
Parsakoira - nicely painted! The size of the head doesn't really bother me too much. It is large, but could work if your going for a more short and cute look. If your going for the thin and elegant elf look, it should probably be smaller as havok reed pointed out.

Nice develpment in this thread, lots of nice chacters.
@RaynaCendre - interesting design and pose. I think that something is off with the proportions, the hads too long and maybe the legs too short. And also i think u could cover the left arm with the wings too.
@Naidy - I think the character looks good, I like the linework and the shading works with it but i think that u should do something with the background, -the shaky lines(as oposed to the clean lines of the char, no lines for background could do but with a firmer edge) and especially with the colors, to me the white is distracting, maybe something like gray with a little color complementing ur character would work better or whatever u like but to support ur the char not compete with it.
@Elbi - I like ur idea a lot, the masquerade of a female orc dressed as a normal girl works very well, but I think u should accentuate the contrast, she's too prety, u could make her much more orcish and put some delicate materials on the dress, lace, prety flowers, butterflies,etc...
@hemlock-key - nice idea. I think that u could work more on lithing instead of details, now it looks like shes lit form difuse and many light sources which makes it kinda flat. I see u put a thrown shadow u could at least make a gradient, pretty large one, for the wings, and also for the other shapes u separated, eyedrop from contours and with less opacity try follow the light source u hinted at.
@Havok Reed - I like the pose and the expression but I dont really understand his masquerade.
@Spastic_Potato - nice design and shading. I think that the front left(hers) leg look a bit off, either bent it backwars or lift the whole leg like withe the knee bent maybe would work better.
I thought I would give a hand where I thought was needed, hope didnt offend anyone.
The rest of you have already very good wips and gj for that
Keep at it
Ps: @Obstfelder: just saw urs : )) nice choice man, it's hillarious : ))

Obsfelter Thanks for pointing it out. I tend to forget about lighting when I'm thinking detail.
Callergi Just saw your comment, at least I was already starting to fix the issue.
How's this? I could probably throw a shadow on that back wing as well now that I think about it...
July 11th, 2012 #73
@Obstfelder: Yea it is pretty uniform. I was playing with a hue/sat layer to get a different skin tone and stuff. So it will start looking a little more like this update. Ive never done green skin before so this is allllll playing with colors right now. Thanks for the tip!
@Callergi: Oh, I just hadn't gotten to that part yet
So basically, he doesn't want to be at this masquerade, but was forced to go...doesn't mean he was going to fully play the part His pants wont be red, I just did a whole layer hue change to get a better idea for this skin for now.

@hemlock-key - yeah tha's the idea, continue to the face and neck and wings(the one hind u could make a bit lower than the one in front - I cant really read some clear perspective lines but I think this will be better)
@Havok Reed - well, then I'm waiting to see what u do with him.

JanJager - I really like what you have. I think the mask is a really good touch for your character!
Naidy - I really like the use of nature in your character's costume as well. Everyone's work is really creative.
Dryleg - That's what's up I really can feel the toughness is your orc as well as class. The one-sided mask really helps with that.
Man I wish I could give some constructive critique here, but everyone's work is really good. Can't wait to see more.
It's slow moving for me, but I've finally got the ball rolling I think

A lot of great concepts coming together this week.
derekdedgell: He seems very disapointed. The costume could maybe use some feature or point of interest. it seems a little simple for a masquerade.
Danny_K: The shadow on the floor in front of her seems too dark compared to how the light is hitting her torso. I like that you are making a gnome woman, good choice.
Howie: Looking good. weird and interesting costume.
Nim: Hard to avoid Mucha with this theme
Camelli: Hehe. Good idea.

Ok, advice followed with increased contrast. I always tend to start out low key with muddy colours for some reason.
Parsakoira: I love your autumnal elf.
Derek: Nice concept with the pretty mask for ugly troll.
Makilolo: Looks like its going to be a grand costume.
Overall, I enjoy seeing how everyone starts out with rough painterly sketches through to refinement.

Thank's for the comments! Here an update, a little bit uglier I think. My idea is to keep her sexy for the human, not orkish standart.

As I have family in the region, I have used the airport at least 30 times within the last 20 years. Comparing to
Frankfurt this airport does not cut it for me. Coming in by train with heavy luggage many times the moving
staircase at the station did not work, which in course caused 50 or more people waiting to use the only elevator
available to get to the sky train station finally bringing you to the actual airport. No baggage carts available
at the station nor, other than in Frankfurt, check in facilities right at the station. 5 or 6 times the sky train
did not work and substitute transport by bus was arranged. Again, a real hassle if you travel with heavy luggage.
First spot to find a luggage cart is only to be found after the moving staircase down at the actual airport and
that only if you walk out of the airport and pay 2 euros. Hence, while also in FRA you have to pay for luggage
carts, it does not reflect any international standard. One repeating deficiency is the security personnel (not
Federal Police but private contractors) after immigration. While immigration is very professional, fast and
friendly, the security staff are, while obviously effective very unfriendly in their, with no doubts, not easy
job. I do not expect any entertainment or similar while passing security but the words please and thank you are
considered basic respect and education. I have to point out that I have never been directly offended or treated
unfair by any means but it very much looks like the contracted security company does not even require a basic
education for their staff and hires out of the long unemployment lines just about anyone with a clean police
record, regardless of ability to deal with the public and/or paying passengers.

Dusseldorf is a nice airport that is in a convenient location from where I was staying in Dusseldorf. I flew from
New York to Dusseldorf and was greeted by a very cheery customs agent. I was one of the only people on my flight
who was not a citizen of the European Union, so the agent seemed happy to have someone to talk to. The terminal
area was nice and spacious. They had duty free shops that sold everything and some small cafes. The gate areas
were small though, especially for the international flights. This airport had a lot of signs to direct everyone.
Some of the staff got annoyed when they had to speak in English instead of German though.

I recently flew from Dublin to Dusseldorf and was very upset with the rudeness of the security staff in the
airport. The beeper went when I walked through, so I needed to have my shoes (which I had been told not to remove)
and feet checked, etc. This was no problem whatsoever with me, except that the security guard refused to speak one
word of English, so I had no idea what she meant. However, the language barrier was not the problem. She was
abrupt and rude throughout the whole procedure. When she had finished checking my shoes and feet, she stood up,
folded her arms and stared away in the distance. Wary of leaving without "permission", I stood up and asked
clearly "Is it ok to go?" (unfortunately I don't speak German, but this has never been a problem before). In
reply, the security guard turned her head away and completely ignored me! I have taken approximately 10 flights a
year for the past five years and I have never experienced such rudeness. I cannot find any facility for customer
complaint on the Dusseldorf Airport website.

30 January. First time I've taken an outbound flight from D'dorf, although I've arrived here in the past.
Fortunately we arrived with over two hours to spare because it took forever to get through security. No good
reason other than the staff were very slow and prioritised chatting with each other to processing passengers. We
were there the day after they'd been on strike (pay dispute) and it certainly looked like they were still on go-
slow. Apart from that you're forced to walk through shops to get to the gates, but that's the case at many
airports these days. It felt crowded with inadequate seating, but we were there at peak time (Friday evening).
What was worrying was that our plane was delayed because passengers (who had arrived at the airport in good time)
were stuck in the security queue - there was no system for pulling people out and prioritising them if their
flight was due to leave. D'Dorf seriously needs to sort this out. I probably will fly from this airport again
because it's about the only German airport I can fly to Leeds Bradford from, but I won't look forward to the
experience, and if there's an alternative I'll take it.

If you take the train it counts as a local ticket however, to my understanding, when you get to the "station' you
have to buy a new ticket to take the sky train to the actual terminals. Know your terminal before you get on (just
look at the departure boards in the skytrain area). Staff were the usual German indifferent, place was clean and I
didn't find it crowded. Took about 5 min to get through security and everything was on time.
Rating : 5/10
Airport is ok, security is a travesty, terminal B, lanes, only 1 gate open at noon, 120 min line up to get
through. 35 minutes. If I had a shop behind security, I would go crazy with the customers being put on hold before
the gates, outright stupid in every conceivable way.
Rating : 1/10
The airport wasn't even busy and it seemed like the staff had their thoughts elsewhere. Staff can barely even
exchange basic courtesies even in German.

My Homebase airport and of course I'd like to start and to arrive here. But I also want to criticize some points:
no free Wlan! I think this is really utterly impossible in the modern world of today! Other thing is when I see
the passport control, for non-EU citizens its always crowded, specially when the noon times airliners from UAE,
Russia and Turkey (with 777 and A330) arrive. Parking is too expensive! Bus connections could be better. Remaining
points are ok. The airport is very clean, they solved the problems with the signs and also the gastronomy is very
good (but also very expensive!). Personnel are mostly very friendly and there are not many delays on a normal day.
Rating : 10/10
Started and arrived from here a lot of times yet. Very good airport with good signage, a lot of restaurants and
shops and the ways to the gates are not long. You can easily access it by car, public transport or taxi. A
visitors terrace is available.
I used this airport as I had flight connection. I had to stay there for 3 hours. Airport looks very nice and have
lots of shops to visit. Unfortunately there is no free wifi (not even in coffee shops or restaurants) There is an
option to use service of one of well known mobile network provider but it's very expensive £4 for 30 mins.
Direction signs are clear, toilets everywhere. Very close to city centre. Seats in waiting areas are comfortable.
The airport is overall fine. Nothing extraordinary, nothing really bad. It's very grey and lacks nice stores and
restaurants. I was connecting flights here with Lufthansa and missed my flight therefore my waiting time for the
next flight was 5 hours. Unfortunately, the whole terminal was very cold, it almost felt like the heating was not
working, hence the very low score. Waiting for 5 hours in a cold terminal building is not fun plus the internet
access is not free. I paid 12 euros for 4 hours. Also, there are not enough electricity outlets, especially next
to seats and I observed many people trying to find one.
Connected twice here. Didn't find it too hard to get around. Staff very friendly. In the off duty area, you might
as well have thought you were in a small shopping park. the gate was OK. A few rows of chairs, for a regional
flight it was good. Security was quick and easy.
The worst airport you could travel from. Very disrespectful staff from all departments and areas. Inconvenient
facilities. Outdated design and very limited duty free options. Try to avoid using this airport as much as
Dusseldorf is a big little airport. Its clean, simple and easy to navigate. We only had one issue, the pre-
departure passport check was extremely understaffed so we were almost late for are flight. Besides that
everything was okay.

Non EU immigration took over 3 hours to reach one of the 2 windows open, over 400 crushing chaotically in a
small area with no queue system. Very disorganized, and poorly resourced - but a couldn't-care-less attitude
prevails. A very unpleasant place to pass through.
I arrived at Dusseldorf International from New York very early in the evening. Immigrations was very fast, the
fastest I've experienced. When we got to baggage claim area the baggage was already on the carrousel. No
problem at customs, so 40 minutes after arrival we were buying our S-Bahn (train) tickets to go to downtown
Dusseldorf, which is 15-20 minutes away. The airport is modern and very clean. There's plenty of places to
eat and buy - there is a supermarket inside the terminal. The only thing that didn't work for us was that the
train ticket machines didn't accept our US-Bank debit cards, so we had to get cash in order to pay the tickets,
but there was no Deutsche Bank ATM in the airport, and we had to get cash from another ATM which had no
agreement with our US Bank resulting in higher fees. However, I think that this is an excellent airport.
Our outbound flight was from Berlin.

Airport is modern and clean, well connected by road and public transport but the security check is a disaster.
The staff are slow, arrogant and unhelpful. Queuing took forever, even fast track. Beware, you get charged 1€
if you require a plastic bag for liquids. I never carry any but I thought that was shocking, given that airport
charges are included in tickets.
Customer Rating : 3/5
The airport itself is very convenient however the car parking situation is very bad. In May, there was no long term
parking place left, although plenty of space, you had to reserve a place through the Internet before leaving which
we didn't. The second time, in July, I tried to reserve a place some days before we left, but now all long term
parking places were already occupied. Next time we will try to avoid using Dusseldorf airport.
Customer Rating : 5/5
No waiting at check-in (Air Berlin/Niki) nor security. Boarding was little chaotic but OK. Only
downside was that we waited for baggage pretty long time. Airport also seemed to me as easy to
transfer. Overall very good experience in modern terminal.

Dusseldorf is a modern, clean and relatively efficient airport. I found it, for the most part,
user-friendly in terms of the facilities and lack of queues. Just one minor complaint though,
the signage is really poor, sending you in circles and to dead-ends. There are two floors for
departures, which can be confusing and you really have to keep your eyes peeled to keep track
of where you're heading.
Excellent airport. Good for changing flights, too. Well laid-out. Good shopping and food
outlets. Friendly staff, clean and well connected by trains and road. Good choice of
destinations and flights.

I used Dusseldorf airport for the first time to try and fly back to Ireland for Christmas via
Aer Lingus. After a 3-hour journey through snow and ice-covered Dutch/German motorways, I
arrived at 9am. with 1.5 hours to spare and managed to find a space in a long-term carpark. I
found the airport lively and efficient. Because of the inclement weather, flights were being
cancelled with frequent regularity, and I didn't hold out much hope for mine. However the
runways opened at midday and Aer Lingus passengers were called to Gate C. By 2pm there was
still no gate number allocated to my flight and then it was suddenly cancelled. What followed
was farcical. Nobody could help with any practical advice; I was told to hang around for a few
hours in case Aer Lingus decided to put on a Christmas day flight. Eventually I queued for
almost two hours at a 'service' desk, and was told to basically to sort out a new ticket or
cancellation myself by going online. During this time I noticed 3 pairs of armed police
wandering around the queues (perhaps to quell any frustrated passengers?). There was no
professionalism, compassion or practical advice. The final slap in the face was trying to
retrieve my car, which cost me Euro23 in parking fees; Dusseldorf staff managed to unload a
meter of snow behind my car in their attempts to keep the driveways clear. Thank you
Dusseldorf; I won't be using your 'facilities' again in a hurry.
Excellent airport with great facilities, short distances and almost no queues. Clean
restrooms, some good food-outlets and acceptable prices in shops. Nothing to complain about.
Used it a few times as it is closer to my home as Amsterdam. Furthermore the waiting lines are
so short. Airport is fresh and clean and luggage arrives very quickly. Staff is friendly and
Recently I had the opportunity to use DUS for the first time on a return flight to LGW. I was
extremely impressed with the efficiency of this airport with the quick and easy connection
from the city by public transport and upon arrival at the airport, doubly impressed with the
ease of getting around the terminal and by the number of places to grab a snack before the
flight. The airline personnel were friendly and helpful as were the German security and
Immigration staff which I found rather unusual since more often than not I find these officals
in Germany to be a bit to informal. Perhaps it was because they were all going on their break
or maybe they had just returned - whatever, I was impressed.
It has easy access to the train station, autobahn etc. The staff is friendly and helpful. The
facilities are clean, security organized and efficient.
Modern and clean airport with short ways upon arrival. If you head for downtown Dusseldorf I
would recommend the suburb train line 11 (S-Bahn 11). The railway station is located one floor
underneath the arrivals hall whereas the long-distance station can only be reached via the
skytrain. Travel time to the city centre around 15 mins and the ticket machines are easy to use.
Extremely clean and polite ground crew to help however by 9pm all of the shops in the airport
had closed and there was nowhere to buy any food or drink in the departure lounge which made
for a very long night. No entertainment nor wireless internet available unless you are a
Vodafone customer.
Living close to the German border this is the closest airport. Easy to reach, easy to navigate
and no long walks and plane-taxiing. Security staff ranges from rude to friendly. Buy
delicious sandwiches at 'Kamps' in the arrival area. Much cheaper than elswhere. 'Geheimtipp':
the parking at the railwaystation costs only 7 euros/24 h. So for a short trip it's much
cheaper. Follow signs 'Fernbahnhof' and take the skytrain from the station to the terminal.
Good, efficient and clean airport of medium size. Good facilities. Normal customs and
security. Cheaper long term parking is available just outside the terminal area. However
beware that passenger and luggage drop-off at the terminal building is NOT possible. You MUST
park in one of the terminal parking (at a stiff hourly rate) and then find your way to a
luggage cart and the terminal building.

I agree with the previous comments on the security. They are terribly serious about the size
and the content of your hand-carry items. My bag travelled with me through many airports but
only in DUS was it stopped because it's too big (?? in DUS, but not in airports in UK, US,
Asia, France, etc. It's just a normal schoolbag, but they say they only permit item of size
like a laptop bag.) And they even ask to weigh my hand-carry bag though it doesn't look heavy
at all.

DUS airport is one of the most efficient and clean airports I used. Hardly any queues, good
public transport connections, friendly staff, and a modern building. The main reason I use the
airport is because of the good connections with cheap operators. Downsides are expensive
parking (EUR 90 a week), and unclear signs.

Liked Dusseldorf. Though Schiphol is around 40 kms away, we took the 200 km drive to
Dusseldorf. Both fares and taxes/charges are considerably lower at Dusseldorf. The two of us
saved about €900 compared to the cheapest option from Schiphol. We liked DUS, easy to
navigate, quick check-in, got our bags fast and were out of the airport in 15 minutes. Will be

Living in Nijmegen, about halfway in between Düsseldorf and Amsterdam, I make sure I depart
from here whenever flying on a proper airline. Düsseldorf is a breeze compared to it's bigger
sibling 200 kms northwest. Airside facilities are a wee bit sparse, but in return it's quiet,
efficient, fast, and has friendly staff that knows what they're there for. In my opinion
those are the things that make an airport deserve a high star rating. No machine-gun toting
military police present, like in AMS, and on the way back from Miami last year I went from
jetway to S-bahn in nine minutes, on a flight coming from ATL. Try that in AMS, you'll still
be waiting in security by the time I'm drinking a cold one at home.

Customer Rating : 3/5
Calm, efficient terminal, with accomodating staff. However, the renovation zones were an eyesore,
and there was one seat for every 6 people. Lines were long, and nobody could find a bathroom unless
it was a handicap bathroom with a long line. Didn't like the fact that I had to walk down 3 stories
from the door to the bus then have a ten minute bus ride to the plane. Couldn't find a store with
affordable food. Still, much better than Frankfurt.
DUSSELDORF AIRPORT review : 13 May 2008 : by Ruud Andriessen
Good airport that does it's utmost to service it's customers. I've been there from way before the
fire and after the fire when they had beerhall tents to handle passengers and luggage. They have
been less fanatical in introducing more airport security after 9-11. The hotels at the airport are
reasonable and clean. The only problems are their waiting area for cars picking up passengers which
is too small. The train connection looks great but services could be more frequent. And finally
people should not mix up lousy Dusseldorf regional in Weeze with the quality that Dusseldorf
International has to offer.
DUSSELDORF AIRPORT review : 5 May 2008 : by Richard Dalgleish
I can only agree with the 2 previous comment. I arrived at security with my liquids in a non
Dusseldorf airport standard plastic bag. I was told to buy one from the machine for €1. I did not
have a euro but was allowed to take one item though without a bag but lost the other two items.
Beware Dusseldorf standard plastic bags are mandatory though it appears they do not use the proceeds
of selling them to the benefit of the airport in general. Also I have never come across this at any
other airport in Europe.
DUSSELDORF AIRPORT review : 30 April 2008 : by D Kearney
Previous commentators are correct about the attitude of the security staff at DUS. I had a pot of
jam confiscated as it was over 100ml, despite this not being a problem at security in Hamburg two
hours earlier. Airside facilities in the non-alliance pier were spartan, and the entire place looked
as if it had not been uprgraded since the early 70s. The Lufthansa pier is slightly nicer.

At a time when clean energy and water sources are critical to the health of our planet, SunPower and the Surfrider Foundation are jointly empowering U.S. homeowners to create a more sustainable future. Through this new partnership, Surfrider Foundation members can reduce their carbon footprints with solar, while locking in low electricity rates, and protecting oceans, waves and beaches around the world.
SEIA Supports Legislation to Increase Use of Renewables by Federal Government
Saying it will "benefit both the economy and environment," the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has announced its strong support for legislation introduced by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), allowing the General Services Administration (GSA) to enter into 30-year renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPA). The GSA is an independent agency which manages and supports the basic functioning of the federal government, including procurement. Under current law, only the U.S. military can enter into power purchase agreements for longer than 10 years.
Soltage Passes 40,000 Megawatt-Hours Solar Production
Soltage LLC announced its distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) projects installed in 2014 generated 40,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of lifetime production to date.
SEIA: New Report Offers 'Distorted View' of Solar ITC
A new study released today by the Stanford Graduate School of Business predicts that the U.S. solar industry is "headed for a cliff" if the solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is not extended. Even though the report touts the solar industry's "dramatic growth," it called for a phase down of the ITC without any examination of the current and past tax treatments of established energy sources. Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), called that omission a "fatal flaw" which ignores how Congress has used the U.S. Tax Code over the past century to encourage the increased production of oil, gas, coal and even nuclear power, making it difficult for solar and other renewable energy sources to compete in the marketplace without incentives.
Solar Growth in Georgia, Southeast to Highlight New Conference
U.S. solar energy leaders and representatives of top solar companies from an 8-state area will gather in Atlanta, GA, on May 7-8 at the Marriott Marquis for the inaugural Solar Power Southeast conference, co-sponsored by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA).
Solar Energy in Oregon, Washington Projected to Make Big Gains
Powered by growing residential and commercial markets, the neighboring states of Oregon and Washington are set to make significant gains this year in new solar installations, according to the recently-released U.S. Solar Market Insight 2014 Year in Review. The two Northwest states are expected to top 200 megawatts (MW) of combined solar electric capacity by the end of 2015 – enough to power nearly 25,000 homes.
Popular State Incentive Helps to Drive Louisiana Solar Growth
WASHINTON, DC - Powered by a rapidly-growing residential market, Louisiana became a Top 20 solar state for the first time last year, according to the recently-released U.S. Solar Market Insight 2014 Year in Review. It was the fifth straight year that Louisiana showed strong growth in solar installations.
Indiana Shows Impressive Growth in Solar Installations
Powered by a robust utility-scale market, Indiana ranked 14th in the nation in installed solar capacity last year, according to the recently-released U.S. Solar Market Insight 2014 Year in Review. It was the second straight year that Indiana exceeded 50 megawatts (MW) of new installations.
SunPower Broadens Its Commercial Reach By Offering Battery Services From Stem
For the last five months, SunPower has been reselling Stem's behind-the-meter battery systems to commercial customers across the U.S. The companies are not revealing the number of systems they've installed through the partnership, but SunPower's Ivo Steklac said he expects storage to help increase commercial-sector business "rather dramatically" based on early activity.

SolarCity Helping Solarize New York Municipality, Expected To Save Village $2 Million In 20 Years
The village of Canton, New York, has decided to contract with SolarCity, a national solar company, as it moves forward with plans to solarize the municipality. The decision is expected to save taxpayers nearly $2 million during a 20-year period by locking in a rate of six cents per kilowatt during that time.
In a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind study released today, America's K-12 schools have shown explosive growth in their use of solar energy over the last decade, soaring from 303 kilowatts (kW) of installed capacity to 457,000 kW, while reducing carbon emissions by 442,799 metric tons annually – the equivalent of saving 50 million gallons of gasoline a year or taking nearly 100,000 cars off U.S. highways.
This was a huge week for fans of clean energy. First, Telsa Motors announced that it would build a new factory in Nevada, employing 6,500 workers. Then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed to hold a vote later this year on green energy tax credits. That important announcement was quickly followed by news that the U.S. solar market hit a major milestone in the second quarter of this year with more than half a million homes and businesses now generating solar energy.
Mark your calendars!
With less than a month to go, the first Solar Power Mid-Atlantic, a new regional event highlighting the strong solar industry in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, is quickly gaining momentum.
As the old proverb goes, "you can't have your cake and eat it, too." But convincing some people of that isn't easy.
In hopes of ending the long-running and costly U.S.-China solar trade dispute, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has urged SolarWorld Americas, LLC to step forward and offer a specific proposal that could serve as the basis for discussions and eventually lead to a negotiated settlement.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "half the truth is often a great lie." Keep that in mind when you read a recent report prepared for our friends at the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) about Germany's experience with renewable energy, including solar power.
Here's the gist of the argument made by the energy consulting firm, Finadvice: Germany's wholesale markets are suffering from "disequilibrium" because of increased consumer costs. The 86-page report is pretty much a hatchet job on renewables. "In conclusion, the lessons learned in Europe prove that the large-scale integration of renewable power does not provide net savings to consumers, but rather a net increase in costs to consumers and other stakeholders," according to the report.
Really? That's the problem with half-truths. Not surprisingly, there's no mention of the enormous societal costs of the damaging pollution which is caused by burning fossil fuels and undeniably driving climate change.
So what's the other side of the story – the one utilities fail to mention? In response to that question, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today released a comprehensive study taking an in-depth look at Germany's solar support programs and how the United States can benefit in the long term from the experiences of the world's leading solar producer.
When it comes to clean energy and sustainability, solar looks to be a shoo-in one day for the "green" Hall of Fame. Today, more and more sports teams, sports leagues and sports organizations are embracing the advantages of solar energy.
Like many others, I believe the U.S. Department of Commerce's 2012 and 2014 trade decisions against the Chinese module manufacturers are essentially protectionist in nature.
Two recent developments clearly demonstrate why America remains "bullish" on solar energy. But they're also vivid reminders of why we need to remain vigilant. As an organization, and as an industry, too much is at stake for us to become complacent. As the old saying goes on Capitol Hill: "What Congress giveth, Congress can taketh away."
If you listen to many utility executives, distributed solar energy has the potential to destabilize electrical grids and result in huge cost shifts for many American consumers. Well, as the Irish are fond of saying: blarney!
Over the next 12 months, I am going to challenge our SEIA Board and team to articulate a vision and to plan a path to a world where solar is one of the top three energy sources globally. Executing against that vision and path will keep our industry among the fastest-growing in the world today.

wrong printer for Windows 7

Posted March 17, 2012 at 7:43AM
I was installing a printer driver that was not compatible with Windows 7. I have a message that says product cannot be recognised. I have un installed the printer in control panel but I cannot get a screen to go off the desk top that came up when downloading started. I now want to get rid of it but do not know how. I am clicking on the cross but the picture will not go that shows I am on stage 2 of downloading the printer.

As far as I can tell, there are no W7 drivers for that printer. If that is the case, you'll have to buy a more modern printer.

See this Link which says - If your product is not listed and it was released prior to 2009, where available please download and install the Windows Vista driver from the Epson website. You could try searching for a Vista driver which may work.

If you install the Printer as adminstrator it should work without problems.
1 Completley remove all previous versions of epson including from hard drive.
2 find the correct printer driver right click and select run as adminstrator You may get a prompt telling you that it does not work with Win 7 however carry on with installation. dont forget do not turn the printer on untill prompted
Ive never found a problem installing this was either with Win 7 Or with Win 8

Reporting from Tempe, Ariz.—She grabs spandex shorts, shoes that clip to her pedals and other items for the long bike ride ahead. Volunteers stand ready beside vats of sunblock to slather her up.
She leans over the barrier to give him a kiss.
"I still hate swimming," she grumbles.
His face next to hers, he tells her to get back in the race. She rushes off to claim her bike.
They were supposed to enter this race together last year. But two weeks before the competition, Lawrence collapsed in the restroom of a Marina del Rey restaurant. Triathlon club friends found him on the floor, bleeding. He said he had hit his head but didn't know how. The friends called 911 and Beth.
She rushed to Centinela Hospital in Inglewood, where her husband of six months was on a gurney, apologizing to nurses for bleeding and vomiting. He did not recognize her.
Doctors told her that the accident had triggered a series of strokes. A CT scan revealed a blood clot pressing his brain stem. Surgeons operated that night to remove the clot and Lawrence slipped into a coma.
The next day, as Beth waited outside the intensive care unit, a doctor approached. He said her husband was brain-dead and she should consider taking him off life support.
She went to the hospital chapel.
In their marriage, Lawrence had always been the one to make the major decisions. She liked letting him take the lead. She never thought he would falter. She remembered a movie they had watched in which someone was on life support. Lawrence had said he didn't want to wind up like that.
"I was scared, but deep down I always knew that this was not how our story would end," Beth said.
He is in there, she thought. I just have to reach him.
Beth speeds past Tempe's red rock mountains and straight into the desert in the heat of the afternoon, the start of her 112-mile ride. Her black-and-white racing bike, the one she nicknamed "The Dark Phoenix," is balanced on Zipp 404 carbon tubular racing wheels borrowed from her husband.
Wary of the race's intricate rules, she keeps a cushion of four bike lengths between her and the racer ahead.
When she passes her husband, he is looking at his watch, checking her time. He had warned her not to sprint at the beginning, to save her energy. He smiles. She is doing well.
Then the desert winds pick up. They beat her face, dry from the saltwater and stinging from the relentless sun. Rounding a curve, she hits a head wind that makes the flat course feel as if she is riding uphill.
This is exactly what Lawrence trained her for.
Still, she is frustrated. She is a fast cyclist, usually doing about 18 mph. Now she is moving about 11 mph. After this, she has to run a marathon. She remembers facing a similar head wind during a 90-mile ride with Lawrence in San Diego before he was injured.
"You can't fight the wind," he told her then. "Go with it."
In the days after her husband's accident, doctors said the pressure inside his head was so intense that it threatened to squeeze his brain out through the base of his skull, like toothpaste.

Lystek offers advanced biosolids processing solutions for municipal wastewater treatment plants and similar, organic waste materials from the industrial, commercial and agricultural sectors. Our end product, LysteGro, is a pathogen-free, nutrient-rich fertilizer that exceeds the definition for United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Class A EQ material. Lystek biofertilizer has also been registered at the federal level by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
The core Lystek technology is an innovative, energy-efficient and cost-effective process involving a combination of heat, alkali, and high shear mixing to produce a high-solid, pathogen-free, nutrient-rich, liquid biofertilizer product. One of the key benefits of the Lystek process is found in a breakthrough discovery that creates a stable, high solid, low viscosity fertilizer with a solid concentration in the range of 14 – 17%. The processed biofertilizer can be transported and land applied using conventional handling equipment.
The Lystek process can effectively treat thickened or dewatered raw or digested biosolids as well as other, non-hazardous organic "waste" materials. The system not only reduces odours but further modifies them to have a more "earthy" aroma. Reduced, less offensive odours help to enhance public acceptance.
Recycling of the LysteGro also improves anaerobic digester performance and significantly enhances methane production for further utilization as biofuel for green energy. An integrated system approach, we call it LysteMize, in combination with biological nutrient removal system (BNR) and anaerobic digestion can result in net volume reduction by as much as 40%, while also improving denitrification and phosphorous removal processes at wastewater treatment plants.
Lystek is also developing additional biofertilizer product formulations for a range of other beneficial uses.
