Hawaii Island Travel Tips
Getting to Hawaii's Big Island
Travel to Kona International Airport (KOA) in Kona to the west, or Hilo International Airport (ITO) in Hilo to the east. Most visitors arrive in Kona. There is also the option of flying into Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oahu first and then taking a short, 35-40 minute flight to Hawaii's Big Island.
Major airlines flying from Sydney to Honolulu International Airport include Hawaiian Airlines (non-stop), Qantas (non-stop), Jetstar (non-stop) and Air Pacific (via Nadi).
Because the island is so big, consider arriving on one side of the island and departing from the other. For example, you might fly into Kona, exploring that side of the island for a while, then driving to the Hilo side (roughly 2 and a half hours) and exploring some more before flying out from the Hilo Airport, or vice-versa. (Be sure to ask car rental companies about drop off charges).
Airport Travel Tips
• Check-in baggage is limited to 2 pieces per person.
• Carry-on baggage is limited to one piece, along with one personal item such as a notebook computer bag, purse, briefcase, camera etc.
• Be careful not to have overweight baggage; US weight restrictions when flying domestically are 22 kilograms, 31 kilograms when flying internationally. The flight from the continental US to Hawaii is a domestic flight.
• Hang identification tags on your baggage and attach an identifying label to your laptop.
• When departing from Hawaii, all baggage must first pass through Agriculture Quarantine before proceeding to the airline counter for check-in. It is best not to bring fruit or other plants, unless you show proof that you are allowed to export them. Without proof, fruits, vegetables and plants will not clear Customs and will be confiscated.
• Once you check-in for your flight, you must go through a security scan. You must have your boarding pass and identification or passport ready.
• Follow the recommended airport arrival and boarding time given by your airline or travel agency. It's always best to arrive at the airport early.
Staying On Hawaii's Big Island
Major resort destinations on Hawaii's Big Island include the Kohala Coast, Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) and Keauhou, both in Kona. There are hotels and accommodation in Hilo and Puna on the east side closer to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Throughout the island you'll also find bed and breakfast accommodation, condominiums, holiday rental homes and cottages, as well as hostels.
Currency Exchange
Hawaii's currency is the US dollar. You can exchange currency at Kona International Airport (KOA) or Hilo International Airport (ITO), at the other major neighbouring island airports, and at resort destinations. Major credit cards are widely accepted and ATM machines are plentiful. Traveller's cheques are accepted at many businesses.
What To Pack
It's warm in Hawaii, so pack your summer clothes. You may want to bring a jacket or jumper for the evenings. Bring warmer clothes if you plan on visiting higher elevations like Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Suits and ties are very rarely worn here. Bring some casual dress clothes or resort wear if you plan on experiencing Hawaii's nightlife. You can buy an aloha shirt and thongs (or slippers, as the locals call them) when you get here.
US standards on tipping apply:
Restaurants: 15-20%. Check to see if "gratuity" is included for large parties
Bar: $.50-$1 US per drink
Housekeeping: $1 US per bed, per night
Luggage porters: $1 US per bag
Doorman: $1 US for calling a taxi
Room Service: 10-15% of the total bill
Taxi: 15% of fare
The official languages of Hawaii are English and Hawaiian, although Hawaiian is not commonly spoken. Major resort areas often have customer service representatives who speak Japanese.
Internet And Electricity
Internet access is readily available in Hawaii. Electricity in the US is 115/120 volts at 60 cycles (60 Hz) per second. If your device does not accept this voltage, you may need to purchase a voltage converter.
Agricultural Inspection
The US Department of Agriculture enforces strict rules regarding the exportation of uninspected plants and animals and requires a declaration form for each person arriving in Hawaii. When departing, your luggage must pass a pre-flight screening for uninspected fruits and plants. You are welcome to take inspected fresh flowers and fruits home. Items purchased at the airport or mailed home from local vendors are inspected for you.

The Sierra Club is urging the investigation of any possible link between GM crops and CCD. Interesting. They certainly have the stroke to influence some funding.
The Sierra Club is urging the investigation of any possible link between GM crops and CCD. Interesting. They certainly have the stroke to influence some funding.
ah... the tin cup crowd (in my familar lexicon).
but you are quite correct coyote, very influencial and some of us would suggest a bit nuts from time to time.... likely the results of eating way too much trail mix.
The Sierra Club is rather respectable really, compared to some of the other environmental action groups out there.
Dulcius ex asperis
in some very old picture of the sierra club you may notice little tin drinking cups attacted to their belts.... and thus the tag.
at least at one time the sierra club was a bit hoity-toity and more that a bit elitist. their basic idea of perserving the wilderness was largely designed around the idea of 'keeping out the unwashed masses'. so they did have some desire to perserve wildness, but for their viewing eyes only. I have recently discovered some of the exact same sentiment within the national park service.... which typically leaves me feelin' a bit like bill the cat right after he has thrown up a hair ball.
coyote, the past few summers we have been pollenating gmo canola. I would behappy to share any info to help the investigation. I will be pollenating a couple of fields this summer.
I have been foraging off GM canola feilds for nearly ten years now. Yet I am not finding such in my hives.
What kind of a lobby group are these fellows?
>>They have failed to study the effects of the practice of feeding honeybee colonies genetically engineered (GE) corn syrup and parts of recycled hives containing additional GE food residues.
Why is it that these guys can so easily ignore everything that is out there, and still make these bold smoking gun statements. As I understand, CCD is being found in sucrose and HFCS feeding situations, not to mention HFCS is so widely fed throughout the US AND Canada, the potential losses would be much more dramatic than what is being found now!!

Well, the testimony this morning seemed to discount the GM link to the point that it doesn't sound like the scientists are going to pursue it. Of course, that was over an hour ago so I'll have to wait for transcripts or a recording link to make sure that's what I heard. It sounded like they had considered and investigated this lead and nothing turned up.

Kolo Toure believes away form will be crucial to Arsenal's title challenge this season.
The centre back was talking after Arsène Wenger's side rattled up their second successive Premier League win on the road with a 3-1 triumph at Bolton on Saturday.
Last season, Arsenal made 83 points. A healthy 47 came at Emirates Stadium with the remaining 36 taken on away trips. The latter figure included their only three defeats of the domestic campaign.
It was the second best away record in the top flight. But for Toure, there is room for improvement.
"We know every time we come away from home we need to do well," he said. "We lost a lot of points last season and we knew we had to work on it.
"We just have to play as well as we do at Emirates Stadium. There we are on top but sometimes when we go away we just don't start well. We have been working on it and we hope to keep going."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The project reflects the public's input and approval that was received through the planning and environmental evaluation process. It includes the following:
Project Area
The LBJ Express Project is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area. It's focus is the segment of the I-635 Freeway between Luna Road and Greenville Avenue and the segment of the I-35E Freeway between Loop 12 to Valwood Parkway.
Key Features
The project is considered unique because of the following features:
Managed Lanes
Managed lanes are roadways which add lane capacity to existing freeways by combining High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and new express lanes to improve freeway efficiency. Managed HOV lanes provide options for travelers to by-pass main lane congestion through a value pricing mechanism. These include dynamic congestion pricing; half price for HOV usage during rush hours (peak operating periods) as well as other incentives.
In the case of the I-635 Corridor, drivers will have the choice to either pay a toll for the managed HOV lanes or travel for free on the general purpose lanes or frontage roads. Commuters who travel on the managed HOV lanes will benefit from faster and more reliable travel times.
Comprehensive Development Agreement
A Comprehensive Development Agreement (CDA) is a public-private partnership that gives transportation agencies the money, innovation and resources to build projects. In Texas, CDAs are awarded to a team of companies that may provide any combination of finance, design, construction, maintenance and operation services under TxDOT guidelines.
TxDOT, regional and local officials collaboratively agreed that TxDOT should use the CDA model as the delivery method for the I-635 Managed Lanes Project to speed up construction and encourage competition in the private sector through the best value selection process. The CDA will bring private sector innovation and financing along with a faster project delivery that will assure a timely schedule, within budget.

As much as I dislike shopping in general, I harbor an even deeper aversion to impulse buys. Which is why I was so surprised by my uncharacteristic behavior a couple weeks ago. Not only did I willingly enter a shop in order to browse for accessories (accessories?!), I also allowed myself to be distracted by a shiny display. Then I bought something frivolous, and left the store with nothing I was looking for.
Two weeks on, however, and still no buyer's remorse. That's in part because the app I impulse-bought only cost a dollar, and in part because it's a game that I enjoy as much as my child does.
Run Roo Run meets my family's standards for games worthy of our screen time. Not only are its levels delightful to replay, the story's casual reliance on a couple of tropes was only onerous enough to give me pause. The playable character is a badass mother kangaroo on a perilous journey to rescue her joey from human kidnappers. Sure, Run Roo Run's Australia is depicted with about as much depth and accuracy as you'd expect in a two-dimensional, one-touch sidescroller. And yes, in order to give us a strong female character to play, the designers resorted to putting her child in danger. But those are my only complaints about the game.
There are 420 levels, not counting the weekly bonus levels. Our favorite levels are those which mess about with gravity. Tire swing levels are pretty great, too. Completist gamers beware: The 'extreme' levels live up to their moniker. In two weeks, we haven't beaten half of them. But no matter. It's hard to be too frustrated when we're having this much fun.

FRESH MEADOWS, NEW YORK -- Epson Stylus NX210 replaced cyan ink less than 2 months ago, now it says it does not recognize cartridge. I probably printed 3 color pages since installing new cartridge. Now, I replaced cartridge and printers says ALL cartridges are bad. Went to store to buy another ink and NONE of Epson ink boxes tell you how much ink they carry. Do not buy Epson printer. I understand they make money with ink but they should not abuse us, Let's NOT buy Epson. Customer service 562-276-4382 ignore me, how? Told me to hold on and never came back… I held for 20 minutes.
The Epson Printers, WF-3540 in my case which is typical of all of the Epson Printers, is the dirtiest lowdown operation I have ever seen. If one of the 4 cartridges is deemed bad by the computer the entire printer locks up, which means no more scanning or faxing let alone no more printing. There is a chip in each ink cartridge that decides whether it is low, and most of the time there is a lot of ink left. But it gets worse with this bunch of ripoff gangsters. If you replace with an Epson brand cartridge and have 3 cheaper brand cartridges the printer locks up. Many times non-Epson cartridges won't work.
Epson ink is expensive as heck, replace 4 cartridges and you are looking at about $100, it's cheaper to throw the printer away than to keep replacing cartridges. Buy these rotten Epson printers and you are no longer in control of anything, including probably your frustration which usually grows into rage. So here we are with a wonderful printer designed by dirty rotten lowdown miserable egg sucking ripoff gangsters who suck you in with a wonderful printer and nowhere does it ever tell you how you will go bankrupt and crazy trying to make the damned cartridges work. Nuts to Epson!
As a customer I am completely tire of dealing with people who can not help or will make you believe on their world for nothing. On October 1st I placed an order through your web page. Inks for my printer CX 6000. I was preventing to ran out of ink.
On October 9th worried about my order, I went to check on the status, "Shipment information sent to FedEx.
Please check back later for shipment status or subscribe for e-mail notifications." copied from Fedex web page today, October 27. I decided to called the called center and find out what happened. The person I talked told me to cancel the order and place a new one. I told him that I ordered preventing ran out of ink, and I had run out on ink the day before, so I was not able to wait. I canceled my order and he told me that my credit card was going to be credited in 48 hrs.
On October 19 I called, my credit card was not credited. At this time I was getting already upset, but probably a good explanation and a quick resolve was going to be given by the customer service representative in this called. ** was may CSR, and he told me not to worried, I spent probably around 40 minutes between conversation and waiting while he resolved my problem. At the end he told me that the accounting/finance department will process the charge back to my credit card in not more than 48 hours.
Today October 27, 8 days later with my conversation with **, I called, upset, because it proved that my 40 minutes on October 19 was just a lie, probably each time I was on hold he was helping someone else, and at the end ** who gave me his word that I was going to be reimbursed my MONEY, just lie to me. Of course I called one more time now to have another CSR name this time **. ** hear me one more time, and now he blame the bank, who will supposed to credit the money, but I had talked 2 times with my credit card holder, and they told me that until Epson do not submit a credit to my account they could not do anything.
I request ** to pass me his supervisor, but after 10 minutes waiting he told me that MR. ** in accounting was busy and he was going to returned my called a ASAP. Until now I had spent 34 minutes on the phone, again for nothing... My money in somewhere between Epson account, and non of the CSR can do anything, because they blame on accounting.
I am waiting to talked to MR. **, which I believe will not call at all, and again was another CSR trying to just pass the call to somebody else. Hopefully someone by mail will get my message, and at least let me know why I still waiting for my money if I did not get my products, by the way in some places it is stealing to take someone money and not give his product.
ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND -- A client of mine has an Epson CX11NF All-In-One document machine. It is out of warranty. Recently, the Auto Document Feeder (ADF) jammed. Once the paper was removed, the ADF failed to work anymore. Epson Support was contacted and we were told to send it to one of their authorized repair centers, which was MicroCare Inc., located in Maryland. My client paid the $35 to have it looked at by MicroCare and was told it could not be fixed without having to order a whole replacement ADF unit which was in excess of $300. Of course, he decided against having it fixed at that price.
I understand the price of parts, especially when you can't get a particular part out of some of the larger pieces without getting the whole piece. ** from MicroCare explained this to me on the phone. That is fine, and understandable, however, it is not the problem. The problem is this. My client was told that the unit could not be fixed without having to spend over $300 for parts.
I took the unit apart, found a piece that was out of place, put it back into place, put it back together, and now everything is working just fine. I don't even have an education or proper training to repair these things, but I had no trouble finding the real problem and fixing it, in less than an hour it was already back together and scanning. That means that the unit could in fact be fixed, and without any parts required at all. So my client was misinformed. Had he proceeded to get service with MicroCare as instructed by EPSON, he would have spent an additional excess of $300 on top of the $35 he had already spent to be misinformed in the first place.
I called EPSON to tell them about the problem with MicroCare, and guess what? They don't care. They explained to me that the unit was out of warranty and that it is not their responsibility. However, because they were the ones who referred me to this company in the first place, I thought they should know what kind of service I got, especially since EPSON referred them. Well, they don't care. There is nothing they can do they said, except to call MicroCare.
I called MicroCare. They tried to explain to me the cost of replacing a broken part - basically, they can't get a single part, they have to order a larger piece containing the parts, therefore, they have to charge accordingly. Once again, I explained to them that was not my problem. I DON'T need parts. They had incorrectly told me that I needed to order these parts, that the unit could not be fixed otherwise.
I fixed the unit myself without parts. I told them I was concerned about how many other people might be a victim. They ignored my concerns and wouldn't even refund my client the $35 he spent to be mislead and misinformed. He almost lost an additional excess of $300. What kind of justice is this? They told me to write them a letter and they'd discuss it with their boss. I think I should just call and talk to the boss myself.
This is an All-In-One Color Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax with 4 separate ink cartridges. "Scan" has never worked unless the source is 100% flat, IE. it WILL NOT scan books or anything else with a binding that lifts part of the page away from the glass. My old Lexmark would scan ANYTHING readably. "FAX" has never worked in a reasonable manner. It WILL NOT fax anything in electronic form. You MUST print the page first, and then scan the PRINTED page into the FAX function. It is nearly impossible to send a multi-page FAX: It requires about 20 minutes menu-hopping, all settings of which will be LOST when completed or the slightest mis-entry.
The ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) has never worked. It either loads multiple pages at once, or crumples a page in the transport mechanism. In addition it recently FELL OFF during an ink cartridge change: the plastic attaching tabs had just crumbled away.
I almost NEVER print anything except black text. Nonetheless this piece of fecal matter requires that I put in one or more new color ink cartridges every few weeks. Clearly there is a TIMER to "decide" when the customer shall be shafted into requiring new ink cartridges. I have 24 extra ink cartridges. I do not have a "Cyan" cartridge however. So this morning this piece of ** became totally and entirely USELESS. In the South Seattle area you may purchase this from me for one dollar by calling ** and leaving a message on my Google Voice.
Epson used to make the very best video and printer equipment on the market for U.S. civilians. My first Epson products each cost less than half the price of ONE of the fraudulent/malicious ink-cartridges they are requiring for this printer.
Every single one of my calls and emails sent to Epson over the past 2 years about this piece of crap resulted in a "Buy Only Epson Ink Cartridges" (4 required) being sent to my email address. Nothing more. Clearly this malicious design and function is well-known to Epson, and was intentional and deliberate.
I will never ever buy another Epson product, not even a USB cable. I suggest anyone reading this also avoid Epson like the plague. With this kind of customer abuse, they will not be in business much longer. I sincerely hope!
CALIFORNIA -- I purchased the Epson CX7400 in Dec 07. The indigo, magenta and yellow ink cartridges are $13 apiece in the BX and the black ink is almost $20.00. I set my computer to print ONLY in black and white!!! And yet within 20 pages of print had to replace the yellow and red cartridges. WHAT!!! I called Epson (562) 276-4382 and asked WHY my colored ink was going down when I wasn't printing in color? The Epson rep said the printer "uses a little color" EVERY time you print even if just black and white. That PHD who wrote a previous review was CORRECT.
I told the rep "A LITTLE COLOR" - it used up all my yellow and red and my blue is half full. My black was only a quarter gone. This rep sent me free of charge 10 ink cartridges (2 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, 2 black) without my even asking. That folks tells you Epson knows they have a loser. I started over with 4 brand new ink cartridges and counted exactly how many copies i got from each color printing only in black and white. I reached 105 copies before the black ink went out not the 300 promised by the Epson rep.
In fact although the PREVIOUS print job levels had RED FULL and YELLOW at the half way mark, blue just slightly gone and black almost empty, when I printed the next page THE RED, YELLOW AND BLACK INK levels indicated EMPTY!!!
I replaced the black ink with one of the ones the company sent and just took the red and yellow ink cartridges out and put them back in because there was NOTHING wrong with them. When I printed the next copy, LO AND BEHOLD the RED was now a 1/4 down and the yellow down to within a 1/4 from bottom and Black was of course full and blue down about a 1/4.
My old HP color printer NEVER did this. As soon as EPSON opens today, I am calling them and I WANT MY MONEY BACK. THEY CAN TAKE THEIR FREE INK CARTRIDGES and shove them because unless they plan on supplying me with free cartridges for the rest of the life of this printer, it is NOT worth it. What a RIP OFF!
P.S. You all are going to think this is CRAZY but I SCAN all of my tax receipts (back-up) and some of the receipts are yellow or blue or some other color. I did NOT print - just scanned a colored document. When I went to print the so-called "yellow colored" scanned document in BLACK AND WHITE, the yellow ink level FELL more than a 1/4. RUN RUN RUN FROM THIS PRINTER!!!
My Workforce 645 Multi function printer print quality got increasingly bad so I called Tech Support. They ran me through clean, clean and clean again... print "quality" still bad. Sooo, as this printer was still under warranty, I was told EPSON would send me a new printer. I had to give them my credit card info so a "hold" could be placed on it to ensure that I would return the defective unit. OK, I get it.
Out of curiosity, I sent an email today asking for shipping information of the replacement unit. 6 hours later I received a response saying that there hadn't been a replacement order made so I had to call back in to Tech No Support and again talk with yet another barely understandable "English" speaking tech no support person. ** confirmed that there wasn't an order placed for the replacement unit.
So, after he placed me on hold so he could read the confirmation number info. After a while he returned to the call and in his best broken English said that he'd placed an order and needed my credit card number (again) for a hold to ensure the return of the defective unit. OK, one last time. Again, a hold... then he returned to the phone to say it was ordered. I asked if shipping info would be emailed to me and he said I could track the order on FedEx's website by EPSON's reference number. OK, I'll give it a try.
Then he said that I'd have the replacement in 3-7 days. I asked if EPSON could expedite the shipping as this printer was used in my business and needed it now. Back on hold... When ** came back on the line he needed to know WHY I needed it sooner! WAAA??? Geez, remind me to NEVER buy another EPSON product!!! (By the way, new print cartridges [4] cost over $72.) I paid $89 for the printer originally.
SMYRNA, TENNESSEE -- We purchased the Epson NX420 to use at home as a wireless printer/scanner/copier and to take with us on road trips. It was very easy to set up, and the wireless works great with our Windows 7 home network. The unit prints clean crisp documents, and the ink dries quickly and does not smear. The copier works okay with full 8-1/2 x 11 documents. It does not work so well with pictures, as it tries to resize the picture in automatic mode, but often cuts part of it off by enlarging too much.
The scanner works well as to quality, but the setup isn't as straightforward, and we often can not find the scanned documents on our computer without considerable searching. And somehow it has created multiple "My Documents" folders in my "Documents" library. Even though I have moved everything and these extra folders are empty, it still will not allow me to delete them.
The portability is reasonably good, and we have taken it on research trips, and were able to quickly set it up and plug it in and go. When traveling, we connect it to our computer with a USB printer cable, and it works fine, going back and forth between wireless at home and wired while traveling. That's all automatic, we don't have to change anything except to select the printer either on the network or not on the network.
The worst issue is that this printer will not accept high capacity ink cartridges, and when one of the 4 cartridges gets low, the unit is disabled until a new cartridge is installed. It will not scan, print, anything until a new cartridge is installed. Mind you I said "low", not out. In fact there is sometimes as much as 20% to 30% of the initial ink volume left when it shuts the unit down. This is very frustrating and expensive. To replace all 4 cartridges costs as much as the printer cost new. Epson has faced a class action lawsuit over this very issue, as they are ripping consumers off. If it were not for that issue, this would be a great unit for the money.
I am angry to the point of being fed up with the underhanded sneaky way you folks cheat me on my ink refills. I own a cx6000 printer. Twice I've replaced ink cartridges and both times I've encountered the identical problem. When I put in the new cartridges and run through the replacement procedure on the printer everything comes up OK on the printer display. The printer readout reads 100% full. But when I check the levels on my default Epson computer program all the ink levels are depleted by almost a quarter. This with brand new, never used cartridges!
I put in a brand new double capacity black ink cartridge several months ago. Since I don't use the printer regularly, due to the exorbitant price of your ink, I checked the level the other day when I replaced the color cartridges. The printer readout says 100% but the default computer program reads 3/4. AND I NEVER EVEN PRINTED A SINGLE PAGE! I feel like this is a very deliberate, underhanded and dishonest ploy on your part to force me to buy your overpriced cartridges long before they are actually empty.
I feel I have been cheated by your company. What will you folks offer me to keep me as a customer? I ask this, because the way things stand now, when my program tells me these cartridges are empty (long before they are actually empty) I intend to throw your printer in the rubbish and go to another more honest manufacturer. I have already spread the word about this ink level scam among my friends and in some chat rooms and have told them I intended to email you folks about this problem. Both I and others, are interested in your reply. What you say and do about this printer/program discrepancy will tell us a lot about the business ethics of your company.
My email was directed to a technical support page where a notice told me that in order to process my complaint and speak with a technical representative I would have to pay $38! So much for customer support, refundable if I am not satisfied. What do I think about a company that charges you to submit a complaint? Don't ask. I should have expected something like that, but the blatant audacity of the greed surprised me anyhow. When the ink levels are "empty" this printer goes in the rubbish, and from this day I refuse to buy anything Epson anymore.
I have two complaints with Epson. We have been using Epson Dot Matrix printers since 1982. We recently purchased two new computers which use the Windows 7, 64 bit, operating system. There are no Epson drivers for our older printers. After being told by Epson that Epson doesn't have drivers for our older printers, I spent hours researching the internet and then purchased a new printer, the Epson 590, which works with Windows 7.
Later, I came across a Microsoft article which describes non-Epson drivers that may work with older Epson printers. Oki generic drivers work with my older printers. Not only doesn't Epson provide the needed drivers, they didn't tell me that some generic non-Epson printer drivers would work. It is an irony that a competing company provides drivers that work while Epson remains completely silent.
My second complaint is that the new printer from Epson is defective. It does not print fully formed letters. I spent several hours with Epson technical support on two occasions diagnosing the problem. At first, the technician blamed Microsoft since they provide the drivers in Windows 7. Finally, after trying the printer with a computer running Windows XP the technician decided that the printer is defective.
I was given two options. 1) Travel 18 miles to a service center for a repair. If the service center could not repair the printer, Epson would provide a replacement. However, the replacement could either be a new printer or a reconditioned printer to be decided by Epson. The technician referred me to the warranty. I reminded the technician that you don't receive the warranty until you buy a printer and that Epson writes the warranty, not the consumer. I asked if Epson would send me a new printer and then let me return the defective printer or let me send them the defective printer first and then receive a new printer from Epson. The answer was no.
2) The technician told me that I could send the printer back to the vendor who sold me the printer. I called the vendor. They would replace the printer if after inspecting it, they agreed that the printer is defective. I would have to put the box that was used to ship the printer to me in a second box to keep it clean, package it back in the box the way it came from the factory, have it inspected by the vendor, pay the return shipping, and pay shipping again if the vendor decides there is no problem with the printer. Or I could return the printer minus a 17% restocking fee.
So much for buying a new printer. Between Epson and the vendor, I have experienced nothing but lost time, lost money, and frustration. In my business, I stand behind my product and service and go out of my way to keep customers happy. The same cannot be said of Epson. My company will not spend money for Epson products in the future.

Stay true to yourself and disclose if that is your nature. Someone will come along. If you tell them everything, you're not going to have it eating away at you wondering if you should have said something. Sell it with a good conscience. I sold a bike a couple years ago and disclosed everything. Even took close-up pictures of the damage from a crash. The buyer appreciated the honesty and I knew he knew exactly what he was getting. There were no surprises for anyone.
Also, if the person that buys it is going to use it for CC, then they're pretty damn dumb not to run a few hundred rounds through it to make sure it functions properly before they start carrying it.

2007 Game Informer World Preview
GTAGaming.com - General News | @ 01:10 PM MDT | By Kodo
Game Informer has just released the cover of the May Issue which will contain a 10 page world exclusive preview of GTA: IV. If you remember back to the releases of Vice City and San Andreas, Game Informer was the one that had the first previews. Both previews were many pages long and contained a wealth of information on vehicles, setting, gameplay, music, new screenshots, etc., so we can safely expect great things from their GTA IV preview.

Hi everybody
I am still a newbie. I have 2 hives, one is from a swarm in 2007, they are growing like crazy and have produced 4 gal. honey this year. I have a 10 frame system. One deep brood box, full. One super 7 frames almost capped, I added a new super. I am in north/central alabama.
My question is, would it be better for the hive, to make a split or to add another brood box or what? Alabama winter weather is crazy, but most times we don't have a freeze until late late December, but most times January. Any information would be appreciated.

No Envelope Required: Crafty Ways to Give Money
Cash is always a thoughtful gift for graduates, but these DIY ideas make the gesture extra special.
Let's be frank: The easiest (and often most appreciated) graduation gift is money. But there's also something impersonable about handing a grad an envelope of cash. You want your gift to be memorable, too. I dreamed up five DIY ways to turn dollar bills (or, hey, even twenties, if you're feeling generous) into extra special gifts.
1. Tissue Box Surprise
Give your grad a laugh by gifting a tissue box filled with precious paper. Tape all of the bills together in a long row and roll them up. Place the roll inside the empty box, leaving one end hanging out the opening. Decorate with a cheeky label that says "Don't blow it all in one place!"
2. Frame It Up
Make an eye-catching statement by displaying money in a large frame. Secure the bills to a piece of paper with tape (here, I just used the paper that came inside the frame), and fold and tape any dangling edges to the back. Top the collage with a congratulatory message written in sticker letters, and place your creation inside the frame.
3. Bright Idea
Since all grads certainly have "bright futures" ahead of them, I couldn't resist playing on the theme with a light bulb-shaped jar ($2, hobbylobby.com). Roll up bills and then fold them in half (to prevent them from unrolling inside of the jar). Place them in the jar and tighten the lid. Use a ribbon to attach the cute message. (Tip: If the bills are stuffed tightly inside the jar, your grad can use tweezers to remove them.)
4. Dollar Diplomas
Give your graduates the other piece of paper they really want. Roll up dollar bills, tie them with a ribbon, and place them in a gift box. Here, I decorated the box with stickers.
5. Topiary "Greenery"
Who says money doesn't grow on trees? For this project, you'll need bills, pennies, a gardening pot, a Styrofoam ball, a Styrofoam cone, a wooden dowel rod, and tape. Place the Styrofoam ball inside of the pot, stick the wooden dowel rod through the ball, and attach the Styrofoam cone to the rod. Tape the bills to the cone, starting at the bottom and layering up. Finish off by pouring pennies into the pot to cover and steady the ball.

It rained 2" finally, yesterday and last night. Today it's mid 60's and the bees are flying. Lots of light yellow pollen coming in. I guess I'll start feeding shortly. It's been an exceptionally mild winter so far.
It rained 2" finally, yesterday and last night. Today it's mid 60's and the bees are flying. Lots of light yellow pollen coming in. I guess I'll start feeding shortly. It's been an exceptionally mild winter so far.
I am over north of Fort Worth, about 75 miles west of you, same thing yesterday. Bees were bringing in loads of yellow pollen and a few grains of dark orange pollen. Glad we had a break in the cold and rain as the bees went into winter a bit light. One hive was pretty badly robbed out and the other suffered from an overly agressive beekeeper anxious to have honey for Christmas gifts.
The mid-winter pollen should help the brood rearing get started. I have no idea where they managed to find it. I walked the pasture, the fencelines, down in the creekbed, all through the woods, even the mistletoe in the treetops - couldn't find a single bloom anywhere except for potted pansies on the deck of the house. Somewhere they found something in bloom, I don't know if it was dandelions tucked in some warm microclimate or what. Tried following the flight path but never can seem to follow them more than 40 yards before they disappear.
Last night 'cold' weather moved in - 41 today headed for 24 tonight. The Llamas are just feeling frisky, they've been playing chase and king on the mulch pile, guess this is just about the right temperature for a wool coat.
Expect that we will see long enough days to start getting dandelions in 4 or 5 weeks. Then the pears, plums and finally peaches. This year I will pay more attention to the bloom on the oak, ash and elms.
It was in the 60's today after a week of 40 degree weather and the bees took advantage of the chance to fly and cleanse! I made a point of watching them as they came back into the hives because Tuesday is supposed to be the startup date for red maple pollen in these parts, but they we all coming back "empty handed." This week's supposed to be back in the 40's again, so I guess it'll be a while before they start collecting pollen. One of my hives is very strong and they were buzzing around the front of the hive in a manner which suggests "swarm." Better get my swarm trap hung!
In December my bees were bringing in a light brown pollen, and last week they were bringing in a yellow/orange pollen. My curiosity got the best of me so I lightened one of the bees load to get a taste. It was moist and surprisingly sweet, but had a slight bitter taste afterward. So much for the taste test... still have no idea where it's coming from. Anyone know when the maples start to bloom around northern Arkansas/ southern missouri?
Mountain Cedar, I should know that since it tries to kill me every winter.
I will have to check the cedar trees next time I am at the farm. My bees have been bringing in pollen every nice day for a couple of weeks. Our high for today was 36 and our low for tonight is 18. I am in south eastern mid Tenn. less than 3 miles from the mountains. The mountains effect our weather qite a bit. Nashville is were our news comes from and they said that the rain was gone and there was only going to be a flurry or 2 around. We got about 1/2 inch of snow before it got warm enough for it to melt off. I have a big red maple near my hive and it is not flowering yet but I did find a couple of dandelions blooming in the next town over last Sunday at the edge of the parking lot.
We have cedars (junipers) on our place and I've never seen bees in them. We have had a few dandelions blooming here for the past week, though. Bet that will end after tonight for at least a week or two. The water and American elms will be blooming in February in this area, and the bees get loads of pollen from them.
>The water and American elms will be blooming in February in this area, and the bees get loads of pollen from them.
Are you sure they are American Elms? I would love to see an American Elm again. I haven't seen one since the 60's.
Yes, I'm sure they are American Elms.
60 degrees F today. Not your typical January weather for here.

Elegantly decorated in traditional décor and original works of art, each room exudes personal character and charm, with plush personal amenities like soft bedding, large private bathrooms, and cable TV. Start each day with a delectable in-room breakfast, and end each evening with a menu of seasonal indulgences like maple-glazed organic chicken or cast iron-seared scallops at the historic, on-site River House Restaurant.
The Diversions
Kick-off your Stowe stay with a tour of the Ben & Jerry's Factory and the Cold Hollow Cider Mill, where locally made ice cream and apple cider will tickle your taste buds. Then, be prepared to be amazed at the Ziemke Glassblowing Studio, where you can purchase a one-of-a-kind, freshly crafted work of art. For some outdoor fun, hit Mount Mansfield for hiking, biking, or horseback riding, and, of course, skiing in the winter. Catch a live theater or musical performance at the Stowe Theatre, and end the day at the historic Grant Tavern at Stowe Inn, where a 35-foot-long antique mahogany bar provides the perfect setting with which to enjoy a libation or two.
"The Inn is located in a great spot in Stowe, so we were able to walk about and see the sites in this lovely town. ...The best feature of the Inn is their stunning parlor areas and restaurant. Lovely buffet breakfast, too. We definitely will be back."-- TripAdvisor

It was all super!!! Very friendly!!!! Thank you!!!
The appartement is good situated and has everything you need.
Andrew is a perfect host, friendly and very helpful
Great apartment for a family wanting to stay close to the city center but preferring to spend the nights in a nice and quiet area. Andrew made us feel very welcome and gave us tips and recommendations we found out to be spot on.
After 2 visits in Prague staying at a **** hotel, we were ready for a
new experience - enjoying the luxury of a nice flat with all amenities
such as a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and TV.
The layout of the flat is special and with its narrow steps to the
bedrooms not suitable for everyone (as indicated in the flat
description), but for those people who like a "non-conventional
architecture" simply a highlight.
Located very close to the Wenceslas Square, you can reach almost
everything literally in minutes. Surely, the traffic on Legerova
Street is not everybody's cup of tea, but the triple glazed windows
keep the noise away - if you don't mind sleeping with closed windows.
So it's a perfect flat for people who want to be accommodated
centrally and look for a spacious apartment with all the comfort that
one is used from home.
Andrew was really helpful and easy to contact (details for check-in and check-out were easy to arrange with him and contacting him was never a problem).
The apartment was very well located and nice to stay. We would, no doubt, recommed it.
We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Prague, we were welcomed and guided trought the apartment and could get answeres to all our questions by Andrew as well as get som extra tips about the city. The apartment was also well cleaned and in nice shape, all we could ask for!
The flat is ideally situated, no more than 10 minutes from the city center. The host is very friendly and ready to help whenever needed. The flat is very clean and has all what you need, comfortable beds, comprehensive kitchen and bathroom...
It was sometimes slightly noisy, but it's the price to live near the city-center.
Altogether an excellent experience in this beautiful city!
The apartment is great and just perfect! It's very clean and neat and is equipped well. Andrew and Jakub were exactely on time and are very nice people who know their city and are happy to assist with any questions. We'd come back any time.
Andrew is a nice and friendly host, app. is located very well.
Cutlery was a bit dirty at arrival. Kingsize bed is very nice, but the blankets are a bitt small (for tall persons like 1.95 mtr). Too bad because the bed slept very well.
Andrew was super nice and helpful! He gave us the right tips on how to enjoy a beautiful city like Prague! The apartment is very cozy, well located between Prague1 and Prague2. I would recommend his apartment to anyone!

Just curious, on warmer days in the winter (65-70), can you feed lighter hives 2:1 sugar syrup? Or is this not a good option? I assume drying time would be an issue. Thanks
Just curious, on warmer days in the winter (65-70), can you feed lighter hives 2:1 sugar syrup? Or is this not a good option? I assume drying time would be an issue. Thanks
I wouldn't let worrying about drying time cause you to starve your bees. You can always do mountain camp feeding if your worried about drying time. My mother lived a lifetime along the Canada/North Dakota border and said her winter playing Rosie the Riveter in Georgia was the coldest of her life!
Thanks for the response. I think I will check to see if any is light and feed those. The next three days show around 70 high and lower 50's low.
i have one that is very light. i put two quarts of 5:3 on it yesterday. the syrup is over half gone already. i might give them one more quart tomorrow. it's a very small cluster, only about three frames of bees.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I mountain camp all mine each fall. So far about half are eating the sugar. We had a terrible drought this year so guess I'll have to feed through March. The girls were bringing a bright red pollen today at 67 degrees. I noticed some henbit blooming, guess that's what they are foraging on. If I were you in Georgia, I would not worry about drying time just pour the heavy syrup or sugar to them. The two week forecast for West KY is above normal temperatures. Every week passes gets us closer to spring.
I fed mine today in Cherokee County. Gotta keep them alive until the first bloom.
I have been feeding in southwest virginia since october, i have feed both heavy syurp and dadant winter patties and both are being eaten well.
My light hive downed a quart in the last 24 hours -it was 80+ this afternoon. I refilled it again tonight. Will feed until they stop taking it -also feeding ML pollen substitute but saw pollen going in the entrance this afternoon. One end of the hive weighed 27 pounds five days ago and 28.8 pounds today!

...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
I have been open feeding for my three hives on days above 55F in November and the bees have been going wild over the 2:1 syrup I have put out. today and tomorrow are forecasted to be in the 60s, so I will put out more syrup.
I put mason jar feeders through the inner covers today on 18 hives today. Temp was in the 70's. they did not take a drop! Some are light. I guess they did not feel that they needed it. Oh well, I will continue to try over the next several days. It's still supposed to be in the 70's. Thanks for all the input.
gib, i've never tried it that way.
i bought a few cheap quail feeders from the local farm supply.
you screw a quart jar onto these, and turn 'em upside down.
i did find that putting 3/8" wooden balls in the trough eliminated all drowning.
i set them right on the top bars over the cluster, and they can't help but start taking in down right off the bat.
this time, i put two in together, and used an empty box to go around the feeders, with the cover on top.
when i put my third quart on the hive this morning, it was warm enough in the hive that they were feeding, even though the outside temp was only 52 degrees.

A couple of shelves will bring instant order to your shed, notes Greig Morgan.
Installing a shed in your backyard is one thing, but without shelves it will quickly become a tangled clutter of tools, machinery and odds and ends. This simple shelving unit will help you keep the contents in order.
Step 1
Lay the planks for one of the vertical sides and the centre support side by side and flush at the top and bottom. Now measure where you would like the fixed shelves to sit, at the bottom, middle and top. Using your square, scribe a straight line across both supports.
Step 2
Measure in 30mm from each side of the vertical supports, then scribe a line along their length. Along this line, measure and mark in 50mm increments for adjustable shelves. Using a 5mm drill bit, drill a hole right through the marks for the fixed top, middle and bottom shelves. Next, wrap a piece of tape around the 5mm drill bit as a depth guide, drill holes for the adjustable shelves, to the depth required for the moveable shelf-holders or lugs.
Step 3
Lay the side and centre supports facing up on their edge with the adjustable shelf holes facing each other. Sight down the shelves to see if there is bow in the timber. Place the bow facing up so that it will straighten once weight is placed on it. Using 45mm screws in the predrilled holes, attach the centre of the fixed shelves to the supports.
Step 4
Stand the shelving unit up and place in its desired position. Next, place the adjustable shelf-holders in the desired pre-drilled holes, and fit the shelves to suit.
Step 5
Take the other vertical side plank and stand it up against the centre support. Mark where you would like the other set of shelves to be. Follow the same steps through to standing the unit in place. Then fix the floating shelves to the pre-drilled holes in the middle support.
* Measure the space between the side and centre supports and then measure and cut the shelves to fit.

About North CoastView a map of North Coast wineries
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

A.J. McLean has left the door open for Ryan Gosling to become a Backstreet Boy after revelations the actor nearly joined the group in the 90s.
The singer and the Gangster Squad actor used to live in the same apartment block in Orlando, Florida before they became famous.
Gosling recently claimed that, after rejecting an initial offer, he had a change of heart and decided to join the successful boy band.
However, McLean did not return his calls, Gosling said.
Despite that, McLean insists Ryan could still be the sixth member of his boyband.
He told TMZ: "I just want to say to Ryan, I am so sorry I didn't call you back. Dude, first of all I don't even have your number. When I see you at the gym, you know which gym, let's finally exchange numbers and if we ever need a sixth Backstreet Boy I will call you. He can sing, Ryan can sing his ass off."
McLean then went on to praise Gosling's many talents and admitted his wife Rochelle Karidis - who gave birth to the couple's first child in November - is "obsessed" with the Notebook star.
He said: "Not only are you a talented actor and a handsome man but a great singer. My wife is obsessed."

The apartment is equipped with every comfort (conditioning air, television, heating) and is located in a strategic area, because it's just few minutes from Piazzale Roma, Santa Lucia railway station and very close to Canal Grande, the final destination of the journey to the most beautiful square in the world: Piazza San Marco.
The nearest ferryboat stop is San Marcuola; the railway station and Piazzale Roma can be easily reached by walking. At a stone's throw from Marco Polo there is the Strada Nuova, Venice main street where every day you can choose a different restaurant among the numerous restaurants of the area or, for those who prefer cooking at home, you can buy the typical products in a grocer's shop. The flat is 5 minutes from the Rialto Bridge, where you can find many souvenir shops. Piazza San Marco can be reached by going along Calle Frezzeria, where you can find, among the others, Gucci and Valentino boutiques. The kitchen, perfectly equipped, suits the great Italian gastronomical tradition. Marco Polo has all the necessary equipment: dishwasher, air conditioning, TV , toaster, hair-dryer, iron and autonomous heating.

We were very pleased with the apartment. Made for a great stay in venice- easy to get to the Vaporatto stops on both the Grand Canal and those on the northern shore and easy to access the bus terminal/ rail station when arriving leavig for the airport.
We were met by a very good guide , meeting us on time and showing us the flat and pointing out the shops and area well.
We had a small problem with the spare keys not working and the toaster but those were sorted out very quickly.
It was all very smart, clean and comfortable - we especailly liked the good aircon unit - it was very hot and humid in late august this year (2012)
Geweldig appartement in ern authentieke wijk van Venetie. Heerlijke buurt waar je veel locals tegenkomt. Genoeg slaap en leefruimte. Prachtig uitzicht op het water. Grenzend aan de joodse ghetto en absolute aanrader. Enige min puntje is dat er weinig licht inval is.
Appartement conforme à la description, spacieux, propre, bien aménagé (lave-vaisselle, lave-linge, sèche cheveux, aspirateur, linge de maison clean etc…) / bonne literie / très bonne situation dans une rue calme mais proche de tout / une très bonne adresse que je recommande. Annabelo
Super appartement in een erg leuke buurt van Venetië. Veel restaurantjes,winkeltjes en barretjes. Appartement was precies zoals op de foto stond. Waterboot en station heel makkelijk bereikbaar. Erg genoten van dit verblijf, was erg relaxed.
Met speciale dank aan Karima die bijna een uur op ons heeft moeten wachten omdat we met de waterboot 's avonds de verkeerde kant op gingen...

Very nice apartment for a big family with good spaces and many beds. The apartment is located in the heart of Venice, near everything. Can definetly recommend this flat to big groups who would like to stay in Venice.
We really enjoyed Vinice and our stay in this appartment made our expereince even better. Modern Appartment with all amenities. Grocery store and all restraurants were within 2 minutes walk. Strongly recommend this appartment.
We loved Venice, but sadly the accommodation let the holiday down a little, wasn't terrible, but for the money and the lovely photos didn't live up to our expectations. Was far to small and ants everywhere, probably won't book with Wimbu again, sorry.
The apartment was beautifully decorated and with good facilities. Location was also as expected with a small courtyard at the back. Very good arrangements on arrival so we were accompanied to the apartment (addresses not much good in Venice unless you know where to go!) and told where the nearest supermarket was. Local restaurants and cafes have a really "local" ambience even though you are only 10 minutes walk from Rialto. Winter was fabulous-glorious blue skies every day-and plenty of bustle. New Year exciting in St Mark's Square- we wonder how we'll ever top this for 2014 !!! Heartily recommend !
