02:55 pm - Farseer rereading
Over the last couple of months I've reread the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies, plus Fool's Assassin and Fool's Quest. I started because I wanted to experience Nighteyes again now I'm a dog owner, but quickly got wrapped up in Fitz and kept going past Nighteyes' death. ( MoreCollapse )
The only problem with all this reading is that my body doesn't like it and I end up with a stiff neck and shoulders just as I do if I spend too much time at the computer. I admire anyone who has the discipline to only read in an ergonomically-correct position! I had a professional standards review last month and had to clean my house in preparation, since I work mostly from home and the reviewer would spend the day here. Relocating spiders alone was a long, three-step process – first I moved the big ones, then I realised there were many more medium-sized ones, and once they were all gone I saw the small ones! Tedious as it was, I had to admit that housework agrees with me physically far better than reading.

05:58 pm - Focused Heeling with Michael Ellis - Leerburg DVD
Focused Heeling with Michael Ellis - 4 hour Leerburg DVD
Michael Ellis demonstrating focused heeling (interspersed with play rewards) with his own dog
This one is fairly technical. Luna and I have been making progress on focused heeling (the dog walking exactly at your side looking at you and mirroring your movements) as an offshoot of eye contact work, and I thought I'd better learn more about it before trying to go any further.
The best part of this DVD is watching his students make mistakes. It all seems fairly straightforward when Ellis is explaining what to do, but obviously isn't so easy to put into practice. Over and over he says things like "Your hand should be higher / further forward / further back", which sound fairly easy to change, but the student goes right on doing what they were doing before – they know it's wrong but can't help themselves. Or they're too slow and their dog loses interest, or they reward the dog in the wrong place and undo the good work they did before. Developing the right mechanical skills and timing clearly takes some doing.
He explains that whether or not you have any interest in competition, this type of heeling work is great for forming a strong bond with your dog. I can certainly believe that – just the little bit Luna and I have achieved so far has been incredibly rewarding. It's great to have the dog staring up at you (hopefully) saying "This is fun! Where are we going now?"

10:38 pm - The Power of Training Dogs with Food with Michael Ellis DVD
The Power of Training Dogs with Food with Michael Ellis – 2 hour DVD
This is a Leerburg-produced DVD featuring Michael Ellis, who seems to be widely admired in the dog training world. (Here's a clip of him playing with / training one of his own dogs – especially impressive is the last few seconds, when he tells the dog "We're done" and the dog accepts it without a moment's hesitation.) He uses food extensively in the early stages of training to teach new behaviours and attention.
If you're not familiar with the concept of marker training, this Leerburg article explains it.
A lot of the material in the DVD I'd encountered before, but I got two big things out of it and will probably get a lot more as I progress enough to be able to recognise the finer points. Those two things are:
1. Delivering rewards with movement is more motivating for the dog than rewarding while the dog is stationary, and
2. Delivering a variable number of rewards helps to keep the dog's attention since it never knows when another reward might be coming.
A DVD or video is a tedious way for me to learn theory, since I can read much faster than I can listen, and my memory works best when I've seen something in print. It's great for the practical demonstrations, though. Ellis demonstrates each thing himself and shows students practising with various dogs, sometimes making instructional beginner mistakes.

12:31 pm - Establishing Pack Structure with the Family Pet - Leerburg DVD
I kind of miss the years that Yuletide took me days to get through. Now a few hours seems to be enough, since I haven't kept up with any new fandoms and the obscure stuff seems to get increasingly obscure! Anyway, I'm too busy learning about dogs.
Establishing Pack Structure with the Family Pet – 4hr Leerburg DVD
My friend with the German Shepherd from the same trainer as Luna loaned this DVD and another one to me. It describes how Ed Frawley of Leerburg Kennels, who runs one of the biggest dog training resources on the internet, recommends you introduce a new dog to your home. Some of it seems a bit extreme on first hearing about it, but I can certainly see how it prevents all sorts of problems. Definitely an interesting perspective to keep in mind, in any case.
The article The Groundwork to Establishing Pack Structure with Adult Dogs covers some of the ground in the DVD. I love the last sentences: "When we established a meaningful bond with our dog we will both wake up every day wanting to spend time together. Don't ever underestimate the happiness this kind of relationship can bring to your life."
Leerburg is a "balanced" training site (recommending both positive reinforcement and physical corrections) and strongly disagrees with a pure positive philosophy. I am nowhere near experienced enough to weigh in on that argument at this stage! It's a battleground out there. I'm already heartily sick of people arguing semantics and making personal attacks on other trainers, and I just don't know what to think about the underlying issues. Possibly the answer is simply that different things work for different dogs and people.

05:36 pm - How To Behave So Your Dog Behaves by Dr Sophia Yin
How To Behave So Your Dog Behaves by Dr Sophia Yin. Despite the somewhat strange name, this is a general dog training book.
Sophia Yin was a leading veterinary behaviourist who committed suicide last year at age 48. This article talks about the prevalence of depression amongst vets.
This book contains the best discussion I've yet read of the problems with force-based methods, though she didn't rule them out entirely and said she might use them 5-10% of the time. "After considering the side effects, the personality of the dog, and evaluating what the owners can do, I generally conclude that most clients will not be able to perform even the simpler punishments safely."
( Those reasons areCollapse )
( Other notesCollapse )
This is probably the best reasonably short training book I've come across so far. It's well written and illustrated, and every chapter is broken into short sub-headings. It includes a good chapter on troubleshooting what you're doing wrong if your training isn't working.
In fannish news, I've started my Star Wars rewatch in preparation for the release of The Force Awakens this week.

02:33 pm - What I've learned about dog training so far
I'm still virtually a beginner, so I may look back on this in the near future and realise I have it all wrong, but these are the most important things I've learned that I didn't know three months ago.
Until recently I thought dog training was mostly a matter of drills (like practising "Sit" and "Stay" enough times so eventually the dog would do them really reliably). Now I see it's mostly about attention. If the dog is focused on you, getting it to do things is relatively easy. If it isn't, it won't respond quickly even to very simple commands.
( The most important things I've learned that I didn't know three months agoCollapse )
Having a dog is pretty great, I must say. I'm a little sad that at almost 45 I probably only have enough life left in me for maybe another two (ETA: ONE!) big dogs (assuming continued good health and sequential acquisition).

03:16 pm - A Modern Dog's Life by Paul McGreevy
A Modern Dog's Life by Paul McGreevy
Paul McGreevy is an Australian veterinarian, animal behaviourist and university professor.
Something I'm still thoroughly confused about at this stage of my education about dogs is the "pack leadership" concept. Some trainers and authors say it's critical to your relationship with your dog, others say it's entirely passé and there is only training or lack thereof. Cesar Millan gets a lot of criticism heaped upon him for espousing pack leadership, while Patricia McConnell can write a booklet called How To Be Leader of the Pack and Have Your Dog Love You For It and no one seems to go after her. (I appreciate that the training methods they use aren't the same.) I don't much care in any case – I'm interested in practicalities rather than theories.
McGreevy is in the anti-leadership camp and he takes the view that you should be your dog's "life coach" and help your dog to thrive on three things: fun, exercise and training.

04:47 pm - Dog Training My Way by Barbara Woodhouse
I borrowed Dog Training My Way by Barbara Woodhouse from the library mostly out of historical interest. It was published in 1973 and the cover has a picture of a group of dogs all wearing enormous check chains that I don't think are even on the market today. Modern theories on the best ways to train dogs have moved on, but I figured there must be some valuable information in the book and I really enjoyed her writing style.

10:00 pm - For the Love of a Dog: Understanding Emotion in You and Your Best Friend by Patricia McConnell
I've been reading dog books pretty much non-stop for the last three months and thought I should really be making some notes as I go along. Quite often I read something that finally clicks in my mind when expressed in one author's words, then on reflection realise that many other people had told me the same thing, but without it making the same impression – or maybe it's the repetition that matters. In any case, I'm learning a lot!
For the Love of a Dog: Understanding Emotion in You and Your Best Friend by Patricia McConnell is one of the four books recommended as background reading in Brenda Aloff's Get Connected With Your Dog. I also own and have read The Other End of the Leash by the same author, and will cover that one another time.
As an aside, I'd forgotten how time-consuming it is to make any sort of study of a new subject. To read all the recommended further reading listed in For the Love of a Dog would take years.
Patricia McConnell is an animal behaviourist with a PhD in Zoology.
The book covers how to read dog body language and has detailed chapters on fear, anger and happiness, quite a bit about how the brain works and many anecdotes about her own dogs and her work with clients.
The chapter on reading dogs' expressions starts in a memorable way: "Peter and Barbara thought Buddy was "fine" because he wasn't barking or growling, but to me he had a neon sign over his head that said "I AM GOING TO BITE YOU IF YOU GET ANY CLOSER." She goes on to refer to the contrasting responses by the audience to a video of a dog hovering over a toy: "The dog trainers go on alert when the dog's face becomes still and his eyes go round, because they know what's coming next. In contrast, the general public watches the video in innocent silence, gasping in shock when the dog lashes out, snarling and lunging towards the owner."

11:48 am - China: Bashang Grasslands weekend hiking trip
After the Great Wall hiking trip finished, I joined a long weekend trip run by Beijing Hikers to the grasslands near the Mongolian border. It took 5 1/2 hours on a bus to get there, and 8 1/2 hours to get back to Beijing thanks to the longest traffic jam I've ever been in.
The most interesting thing about this trip was the people on it. Hiking is not a popular activity among Chinese people, so Beijing Hikers attracts mostly expats, on this occasion from Germany, England, the Netherlands, Italy, the US, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Some had devoted years of their lives to studying Chinese to allow them to pursue their chosen career there, others worked only in English. Their jobs ranged from teacher's assistant at the British embassy school to a senior Microsoft executive who was close to retirement. Most were living there voluntarily rather than at the request of their employer. A couple in their 50s from England were on their third Chinese posting, and felt China had been a far better place to raise their children than England due to lower levels of personal crime and violence.

09:11 pm - China: Dragons and Temeraire
I was conscious of China being Temeraire's country of origin and I'm sure that added some extra enjoyment to my trip.
I wish I'd started taking dragon pictures earlier, but ( here are two from my last dayCollapse )
According to Wikipedia, there are examples of Chinese dragons dating back to 1600BC.
A rec from some Temeraire fanfic reading I did while I was away: Sixteen by quigonejinn, a very short (900 word) story about the first harnessing of Longwings.
The final Temeraire book is apparently still being written and no release date has been set.

Disgusting scent
Posted by Flicka on Jan 20, 2013
This product does not even remotely smell like citrus. The moisturizing abilities were very poor.
It is ok
Posted by Charybdis on Sep 05, 2012
This lotion moisturized perfectly, but the scent was lackluster. It was too much orange and not enough spice. If you like the spicy scents, try the Desert Essence Vanilla Chai lotion. I love Desert Essence as a company because they don't use petrochemicals, use wind power, don't contain cancer causing agents, and for all sorts of other lovely reasons.

Before putting the tires on the road, you need to be careful to review the car and then the way requires a lot of attention. But still, sometimes you can be blindsided by some malfunction or defect in the car. And with the vehicle broken in the middle of the road, stay calm and know exactly what to do is the right way to solve the problem without causing major inconvenience to traffic and not put at risk your life and the safety of others. See how to proceed and get to know whether you need roadside assistance or towing services straight away.
Road survival tips made simple
1) First of all, get out of the lane – never prevent the movement of other vehicles on the road. The right attitude is to take the car to the side or if there is not this option, keep the car on the right. After stopping, go out to stay safe. If you do not stay in the middle of the way, the attitude is considered very serious offense, a fine of application and seizure of the vehicle can be done. In fact, if the car had a flat tire or something simple as that then you might simply need some roadside assistance.However, if you think the problem is more serious, such as something with the motor, then the wisest thing to do is to get towingJacksonMS right away. click here for related information.
2) Signal the problem – place a triangle to warn other drivers that there is a broken car in front and prevent accidents. Such signs must be far, so drivers have time to swerve. To calculate the space, use as a measure strides. They should be equivalent to the speed of the road (100 km / h = 100 strides). In case of rain, fog, smoke or if overnight, increase to two steps per km / h. Use branches or foliage to help mark adetour. Call towing JacksonMS immediately so your car will get towed as soon as possible and nothing worse will happen to you or to the other drivers. for related details, visit : https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dcs/emergency-roadside-assistance
3) Call rescue – if you have insurance, call the towing company and ask for help. If you do not have insurance, call the concessionaire of the highway, which provides the number for emergency signs along the highway. In the latter case, the Highway Patrol can also help as roadside assistance.
What not to do: Do not attempt to repair the car that happened to be stopped on the road, it is a serious offense that could end in fines, in addition to being really dangerous not only to you but to other drivers on the road. You must also not forget to take the objects that used to signal the track, resulting in a fine for an average offense, as well as use other vehicles to tow the car with flexible cord or rope. Always have towing JacksonMS on speed dial.…

The Permitting Dashboard is an online tool for Federal agencies, project developers and interested members of the public to track the Federal government's permitting and review process for large or complex infrastructure projects. The Permitting Dashboard is one element of a larger, government-wide effort to streamline the Federal permitting and review process while increasing transparency, in addition to improving environmental and community outcomes.
For a downloadable Permitting Dashboard 'One-pager', please click here.
Public reporting of project review timelines and environmental outcomes
Starting in January 2016, agencies are required to report performance schedules for all new infrastructure projects that meet certain criteria of size and complexity, using a standardized set of milestones. For any of those tracked projects that commence the formal Federal review process after October 12, 2015 and complete the process after June 1, 2016, the agencies are also required to post a description of improved environmental and community outcomes that resulted from the permitting and review processes.
Benefits of the Dashboard
Reporting project review timeline data on a common, government-wide platform for all projects that meet the threshold criteria will provide a number of key benefits:
- The Dashboard will significantly increase the transparency of the permitting and review process to the public, allowing interested parties to receive notice of upcoming projects and track progress on projects throughout their review, as well as to analyze past project reviews.
- It will help to shorten review timelines by encouraging early coordination and synchronization of agency review schedules.
- It will provide consistent data that Federal agencies can use to analyze permit and review practices and identify ways to further improve the effectiveness and efficiency of these processes.
- It will help to assess the progress of the reforms included in the Administration's Implementation Plan, as well as related legislation, and to identify common external drivers and trends that influence project review processes.
- Finally, tracking improved environmental and community outcomes will help to document the important role that permitting and review processes play in safeguarding these resources.
Safeguarding natural and cultural resources and protecting our public and national interests
Through laws passed by Congress and regulations issued by Federal agencies, the Federal government requires proposed infrastructure projects to obtain various permits and environmental reviews to ensure that they are designed and constructed in a manner that protects public health, safety, cultural resources, and the environment, and that the public is informed about their potential impacts. Federal permits and reviews safeguard such irreplaceable resources as historic properties, Native American cultural sites, endangered species, and clean water, and ensure that projects do not interfere with national defense activities, air or water vessel navigation, or international relations objectives. (For a complete list of relevant permits and reviews, see the Federal Permit and Review Inventory.)
Making reviews more efficient while improving environmental and community outcomes
Although the vast majority of permit decisions and project reviews are completed within just a few months, sometimes for projects that are particularly large and complex or that have significant environmental impacts, the permitting and review process becomes as lengthy as several years. An interagency team is working to move our nation's infrastructure projects through necessary environmental review and permitting processes as efficiently as possible in order to more quickly realize the benefits of these infrastructure investments – benefits such as reduced traffic, increased access to renewable energy, construction jobs, and increased economic activity – while simultaneously improving the government's ability to use existing reviews to produce the best results for our environmental and community resources – such as increasing the use of landscape-level conservation of species, habitats and watersheds. In short, the goal of this effort is to make the government's review of infrastructure projects both faster, and better at preserving environmental and community resources.
Your role in improving the Permitting Dashboard
The Administration welcomes your feedback on ways this site can be improved. We welcome input on additional features, functionality, and content that would be helpful on the Dashboard. Please use the Department of Transportation's Permitting Dashboard Idea Forum page or email firstname.lastname@example.com to share your ideas with us.

We propose to continue the collection and distribution of data on children in PSID-CDS families who are making the transition from adolescence into early adulthood in a multiwave study, "Transition into Adulthood (TA)." Specifically, we seek support for two additional waves of TA to be collected in 2009 and 2011 from the children of the Child Development Supplement cohort who have turned age 18 by this time. This will yield a combined CDS-TA sub-panel of the PSID with seven waves of information from early childhood to young adulthood on this cohort of 3,653 children age 0-12 in the initial (1997) wave of CDS. We also seek support for the conduct of outreach to the research community in order to increase awareness and facilitate the use of these data in a multi-disciplinary context. Over the last 30 years in the U.S. we have seen a dramatic increase in the age span of what can be called transition to adulthood in the domains of education, work, economic independence, marriage/cohabitation, and parenthood. All of this is occurring over a widely variable age interval and on average, a longer one. Like the British Household Panel Survey, and other genealogical panels, TA-CDS provides extensive information on the ways in which youth, from early teenage years on, make their way through the educational, occupational, and relationship transitions that mark the transition to adulthood in developed countries. All the CDS/TA data can be connected, via our on-line Data Center, to the experiences of the parents and grandparents and siblings at comparable life course stages. With prior support from NICHD, three waves of data have already been collected on these youth from PSID families in the CDS, in 1997 (CDS-I) at age 0-12, again in 2002/03 (CDS-II) at age 5-18, and again in 2007/08 (CDS-III) for those at age 10-18. In addition, the first two waves of the TA study have been successfully implemented. TA 2005 collected interviews from 745 youth who turned age18 and graduated or left high school as of 2005 for an 89 percent response rate. The second wave of TA concluded in March 2008, collecting interviews from these same youth plus those who turned 18 and graduated or left high school as of 2007, for a total of 1,118 interviews and a 90 percent response rate. We plan to collect TA data for all CDS children as they make the transition into the main PSID sample. Those few CDS youth who have already made this transition will also receive the same material as the dependent TA sample still living at home. The TA content is extensive and covers material which must be reported directly. The TA sample sizes increase over time as the number of CDS 'alumni'over age 18 grows, with about 1,891 eligible in 2009 and another 1,962 in 2011, boosting sample power.
The years between 18 and 25-28 years of age have become a period of life in which youth are no longer adolescents but not yet adults. We currently know almost nothing about the personal and social characteristics that either facilitate or impede the successful passage through this period into a productive adulthood. Collecting TA data in 2009 and 2011 will add to the new PSID-CDS-TA combined data resource, presenting a unique opportunity for an interdisciplinary scientific community to examine the role of various familial and behavioral factors on successful early life course trajectories in particularly innovative and informative ways.

I am sure some fool will take chase somehow
but for me, I am going to have to pass
fuck your lies and petty mind games that you play
to fuck with your promises and false hope
find some other mug that rolls that way
from here I will easily cope
good luck to all your issues in hope you make recovery
thinking about it then again..
highly doubt it after my little discovery
low chance you're even sane
I tried I really tried more than I even should
but questioned to myself "why should I?"
there I was giving it all could
and you couldn't even bother your own ass to try
why is it me chasing you
when I don't even need you push come to shove
there is no bond or trust and lets face it too..
whatever it was it really wasn't love
I'm out and done chasing and trying now
forget it, fuck it
I'm sure you will manage you will manage somehow
I'm sorry, I just don't need this shit.

I hear ya sister My other half is dragging me down at present and I am scratching at teh surface just to take a breath, almost had a gut full. Love the emotion as usual full of angst and bitter trying.
I say a little pissed off is good breakfast for the morning wakeup. I am guessing the recipient of the anger is well deserving of the flames I see burning above. It looks like a bittersweet release...It is powerful in its...Forget it! Fuck it! I see you have a strength in mixing the words. Thank you for a great read, my friend of the pen!

Nope, not even on my mind at this time.

Nope, not even on my mind at this time.
I wouldn't worry about that. They have a winner on their hands and if they make anything else it's of course gonna be other products instead of a revision ;).
Just impressions:
After some days with 2 newly acquired amps (T1 and the Glacier), the Apex Glacier gave me the chills, even more than the DX100 used to, esp. in the music instrument separation. The micro details are there, but with some songs , I noticed clips and some noise while listing, so I thought it must be the Glacier, so I muted the Volume....No Hiss or interference or whatever...it was just revealing the tracks with so much clarity, that I could make a bad recording from a good one...I never thought I could hear this from a portable amp. This makes the Glacier, unfortunately , unbearable with some tracks , while the T1 amp is more fun, esp. with my Sen. 598 (which I find it so neutral and totally underestimated here at Headfi) which sounds amazing , not revealing, but amazing as in enjoying almost all my tracks with this amp/can.
Technically the Glacier is better ( but double the price) , but the T1 does a very good job in keeping you in the "Music moment", many times I went continuously for hours, without any irritation. There are cheaper amps out there, but I doubt they are refined like the T1 to be enjoyable.
It loves my JH16 (could not make any background noise), and it added something that made them sound , not better, but (just can't describe it easily) more engaging and relaxing, with a fine detail, but not overshadowing or emphasizing this detail.
The T1 is one of the most "Fun" amps I listened to, it just works, simple and clean---->
Hello ! Thanks for these impressions. Since you seem to be the only one to own both, could you tell me which one between T1 and Glacier you would recommend more to pair with a DX100 and IEMs. I am liking the Glacier in terms of portability...
Why am I not surprised. ;) You have good taste ace lol :P. Are you noticing any changes with usage? Care to describe those changes? What is your favorite aspects about the IEM itself? The more impressions the better.
I'm about to lend my 334s out :)
Maybe you can lend me that 901 when you get it lol ;).
Actually I'm more tempted to try out the Tera player. Have you considered that as an option Viscerious?
How is the RWA AK100 coming along for you? I was not so happy initially. Then around 80+ hours starting to feel worth it ;).
Well at least it was a pleasant surprise now wasn't it! ;). I still feel the mids are the best part of the 1Plus2. As you said it is effortless. Like its not straining at all and that is at every part of the frequency response. Just "owns it". The mids are so natural yet so effortless. It's hard to grasp the sound. Like solid state and tube mixed together but without any of the negatives associated with those sounds (harsh/fatiguing or muddy/slow lol).... The treble is also extremely smooth but not lacking in detail at all. So I have a hard time even saying laid back, because there is no loss of detail at all. As a matter of fact there is more detail than an IEM that is boosted in comparison.
I still felt the original version of 1Plus2 beat the 334 and AKG3003 but this new model makes the older one sound muffled in comparison. So equating that to the 334 and AKG3003 now is just a no contest. I won't even bother sugar-coating it as that can also be misleading. Better to be blunt & honest lol.
Well, its difficult to say, I never tried the T1 with the DX100 (was already sold).
The Glacier, suffers from RF from the mobile (Note2) but much less than the TTVJ, and rarely happens, and that's the only bad thing I can think about .
Its well made, with a forward sound and much details and a tube like (but less than the TTVJ) sound. It sounds good with my JH16 , HE-500 and the Sen. 598. With the JVC fx200, I find the T1 a bit shy compared to the Glacier, in that it has less details but still maintains a good balance, with a touch of warmth, to make esp. digital sounding daps, much less digital.
The T1, is my choice for classic and vocals (esp. Woman...they sound moist !!!!), whereas the Glacier is made for Rock and Techno...It manages to give you a forward sound without being too bright and digital, and that makes it special.
If you want numbers....I use the T1 60% (as portable) and the remaining is for the Glacier .
Its is not about one is better than the other, but which one suits your needs and compliments your hardware....think about it.
Thanks so much turokrocks...I might have to get both :) Just kidding. I am thinking Glacier because it is more portable, and I can use it with my laptop as a USB DAC. But it's twice the price...

The Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) scheme is a government programme designed to promote the uptake of small-scale renewable and low-carbon electricity generation technologies.
Introduced on 1 April 2010, the scheme requires participating licensed electricity suppliers to make payments on both generation and export from eligible installations.
Who's the scheme for?
The FIT scheme is available for anyone who has installed, or is looking to install, one of the following technology types up to a capacity of 5MW, or 2kW for micro-CHP:
- Solar photovoltaic (PV)
- Wind
- Micro combined heat and power (CHP)
- Hydro
- Anaerobic digestion (AD)
Our FAQs provide an overview of the scheme and its eligibility requirements.
How does the scheme work?
If your application is successful, you will receive FIT payments for the electricity your installation has generated and exported each time you submit a meter reading to your FIT licensee.
The generation and export tariff rates you will receive are dependent on a number of factors. For more information please see our application page. You can also find our latest tariff tables on our website.
You will then receive FIT payments from your FIT licensee from the eligibility date of your installation. You'll continue to receive payments for the duration of the eligibility period.
Roles and responsibilities on FITs
There are a number of key players on the FIT scheme.
Generators are the owners of installations who apply to the FIT scheme. It is generators' responsibility to ensure that their application for FIT is correct and that the installation meets the ongoing eligibility requirements.
FIT Licensees are required to take MCS applicants through the registration process and make FIT payments for generation and export based on meter readings submitted to them by the generator.
Ofgem E-Serve
Ofgem E-Serve is responsible for administering some aspects of the FIT scheme, which include:
- Maintaining the Central FIT Register, which is a database of accredited installations.
- Monitoring deployment caps and publishing reports to show the uptake and progress towards each deployment cap.
- Accrediting all hydro and AD installations, as well as solar PV and wind with a Declared Net Capacity (DNC) greater than 50kW through the ROO-FIT accreditation process.
- Verifying the status of installations that are applying for community or school benefits.
- Ensuring suppliers comply with the FIT scheme requirements.
The FIT scheme policy and tariff rates are set by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

We have a number of useful guidance documents, including Guidance for renewable installations, Guidance for licensed electricity suppliers and Guidance for community and school installations.

The United States was scrambling tonight to put the best spin on intelligence it has so far that purportedly pins last week's chemical attacks in the outskirts of Damascus on the regime of President al-Assad amid concern that it may not be enough to convince sceptics in Congress and an uneasy American public.
Members of President Barack Obama's foreign policy team, including Secretary of State John Kerry and Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, were set to lay out the justification for a military strike on Syria to congressional leaders by video-conference this evening. A redacted version of that presentation was likely then to be made public.
President Obama continues to assert that the regime ordered the use of chemical weapons killing hundreds of people on 21 August and that such an act cannot go by without punishment.
"We have concluded that the Syrian government in fact carried these out," he told PBS on Wednesday night. Yet he faces headwinds selling that case with sources indicating that the intelligence dossier as it stands now falls far short of definitively linking the attacks to Assad.
One source who is familiar with it told the Associated Press that it is "no slam dunk" that Assad or his top lieutenants ordered the attack, a choice of words that has clear undertones. It was the then CIA director, George Tenet, who in 2002 boasted that it was a "slam dunk" that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq. Those weapons, of course, were never found.
Mr Obama faces other hurdles, including pulling together allies to take part. Even the participation of Britain looked less certain. An attempt to get a resolution through the UN Security Council was thwarted by Russia, which tonight called for an emergency meeting of the Council to discuss the crisis further. On top of that, some members of Congress were demanding that Mr Obama seek approval from them before acting.
Even the White House seemed keen to lower expectations ahead of the release of the intelligence dossier, which may be the most important such presentation since Colin Powell, then Secretary of State, did his slide show allegedly removing doubts about WMDs in Iraq. There will be "no smoking gun" linking the chemical attack to President Assad, one White House official conceded.
Meanwhile those sources familiar with the dossier say it is filled with caveats and holes. It reportedly does not tie the attacks indisputably either to Assad or even to members of his inner circle. And while there is an intercept of a phone conversation about the incident apparently between Syrian Army commanders, there is no saying how senior they are or how close to the president.
Thus the US administration cannot be certain the gas wasn't released by rogue elements in the army or, more worryingly, by al-Qa'ida fighters trying to draw the West into the conflict.
The CIA and the Pentagon have relied on the spy agencies of Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Israel for much of the material. Seemingly it will also show that they have largely lost track of where Assad's chemical weapons are stored, raising the possibly that cruise missile strikes could destroy facilities containing those weapons, possibly triggering an even greater civilian disaster.
Among those demanding more direct congressional involvement was Barbara Lee, a Democrat congresswoman from California. "While the use of chemical weapons is deeply troubling and unacceptable, I believe there is no military solution to the complex Syrian crisis," she said. "Congress needs to have a full debate before the United States commits to any military force in Syria – or elsewhere."

Todd Tondee: Setting Martinez Rumor Straight
County Commissioner-elect Todd Tondee (re: rumor that he's backing Tami Martinez to fill his spot on Post Falls City Council: Just to set the story straight the mayor has the sole responsibility to appoint any council seat that is vacated and the whole council approves or denies his recommendation. Now that you mention it I think Tami would do an excellent job. I hope she applies.
DFO: Thanks for responding and clearing the air, Todd. Indeed, Tami would be a good council consideration, as would a number of other people. You'll be wise to stay as far away from the selection process as possible.

A Word From The Principal – Funding For Our Schools
I am sure we will all be glad when the Federal election is behind us and we are able to resume 'normal lives'.

What picture does the affluent Suffolk coastal town of Southwold bring to mind?
For some visitors it might be the tastefully renovated pier with its self-consciously eccentric coin-operated amusements (have your picture taken at the Expressive Photobooth – "guaranteed to capture your natural beauty and develop your true personality"). For others it may be the famous multicoloured beach huts that line the seafront, eclectically decorated but with uniformly silly price tags (the last original hut went on the market for a guide price of £60,000 this summer).
What it does not bring to mind – at least not yet – is whisky-making. Yet Jonathan Adnams, chairman of the eponymous family brewery that has been based in the town since 1872, believes there is no reason why it shouldn't. From 2013, Adnams, renowned for making "beer from the coast" complete with robust naval monikers such as Explorer and Broadside, will sell whisky that comes not from the highlands of Scotland but from the rather flatter environs of East Anglia.
In fact, beer is more integral to the whisky-making process than many realise, says Adnams. "People say, 'You can make spirits from beer?' And we say, 'Where do you think it comes from?'," he explains as if in disbelief, while I shake my head conspiratorially and furiously make a lot of notes.
To vastly oversimplify the process, the company's recently completed Copperhouse microdistillery brews what it calls a "distillery wash" – a beer made without hops, which contains a basic blend of flavours that form the basis of what will, during the distillation process, be turned into spirit.
Adnams is, however, not rash enough to think he can go head to head with the taste or mass appeal of those he refers to as "the Scotch whisky boys".
"You've got to bring your own style to it," he says, explaining that Adnams will mature its whisky in new barrels made from Russian oak. This is vastly more expensive, he points out, "but our point of difference is that by mixing this oak with different grains it brings different flavours".
By 11 o'clock on a summer Sunday morning I have tasted several of these flavours, including a promising 100 per cent malted barley wash and a smoother, "tri-grain" wash (wheat, barley and oats) – straight from the barrel at a fairly enlivening cask strength of 65 per cent alcohol by volume.
In the barrel since last November, they will not be ready to drink for a while yet – the laws on whisky-making dictate that it must be in the cask for three years and one day in order to be classified as such.
I also sample some excellent velvety oak-aged vodka which, along with gin, has marked the company's recent first foray into the world of alcoholic spirits.
I am on a private tour of the microdistillery with 54-year-old Adnams who has worked for the company, chiefly as a brewing engineer, since he was 18.
Such walk-rounds, he says, offer an insight into the "grain to glass" process, but are equally revealing as an illustration of the way the company helps drive local tourism. Certainly, wherever you are in Southwold, it's pretty difficult to avoid the brewer's influence.
At either end of the bookshop- and boutique-lined main street are Adnams pubs, and in the middle, just a few doors apart, are its two hotels, the majestic 350-year-old Swan and the smaller, more contemporary, Crown.
It also lends its name to many of the events that take place in and around the town, including a five-day literary festival, held in November (speakers this year include Melvyn Bragg, Tony Benn and Joanna Trollope), the Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival and a bunch of select "wine lunches" and grand dinners, each effortlessly reinforcing the town's reputation for being the height of good taste – as well, of course, as the home of Adnams.
Tours of the brewery and distillery are further encouragements to buy into a clearly defined sense of place. "Some of it is to allow people to see the whole process, to educate people a little. And some of it is to say, 'This is made by real people; come and see it, touch it, feel it – and talk to the people who made it'. So they can learn something of interest and, not to be too coy about it, hopefully buy the product."
He believes it won't be an impossible mission to convince fans of Adnams beers to buy whisky that is English rather than from Scotland. He points to other examples of English whisky producers such as the English Whisky Company, based up the road in the Breckland area of Norfolk, which encouraged him that he wasn't totally going out on a limb with the idea.
Even so, he concedes, you don't always know when the moment to launch something is right, particularly something like whisky, which requires a longer-term commitment.
"You just have to hold your nerve," he smiles.
Tours at the Adnams distillery (www.adnams.co.uk) cost £10 per person (over 18s only), take around an hour and are followed by a tutored tasting in the Adnams Cellar & Kitchen store. The Swan Hotel (same website) has double rooms from £163. The Southwold literary festival (www.wayswithwords.co.uk) runs from November 10 to 14.

Now showing at a cinema near you - if you're lucky
With movie-goers in Hong Kong vying for fewer seats than their Asian neighbours, one trade group is pushing for a theatre in every district
Struggling to get a ticket for the latest blockbuster? It could be because there are proportionately far fewer cinema seats here than there are in other cities in the region - such as Taipei, Singapore, Seoul, or Kuala Lumpur.
And that discrepancy has sparked renewed calls for a more even distribution of cinemas in the city - so that there is at least one in each district - from the Hong Kong Theatres Association.
The association made the call ahead of the Entertainment Expo, the annual industry event which opens today.
There are 5,708 cinema seats available for every one million Hongkongers, according to Trade Development Council data for 12 Asian cities.
In Singapore, that figure is 6,481 seats, and there are 7,750 seats per million people in Seoul.
However, the lack of theatres in Hong Kong is particularly apparent when compared with Bangkok, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur. In these cities, the number of cinema seats per million people doubles or even triples the number in Hong Kong.
But the city's cinema-goers are much better off than those in the mainland cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
"At least two out of 18 districts don't have cinemas," said Chui Hin-wai, vice-chairman of the Theatres Association. Those, he said, are New Territories North and Sham Shui Po - the city's poorest districts. And the number of cinemas has diminished by 60 per cent in 30 years, Chui said.
The association has made a submission on the issue to the Film Development Council, he said. It hoped that new policies such as providing for commercial land-use zoning could help ensure there was a cinema in every district - at more affordable rents.
But Film Development Council secretary general Wellington Fung Wing said that attendance figures were up despite the dwindling number of cinemas. And the box office was up 12 per cent last year, he said.
Fung added that the number of screens had stayed more or less the same over the years. "Heavily populated cities are not favourable for cinemas. So is it the rent or are there other factors putting the squeeze on cinemas?" Fung asked, adding that a study of the situation was under way and would conclude at the end of April.
Meanwhile, Filmart, one of the founding events of the expo, kicks off at the Convention and Exhibition Centre today, with a focus on the television industry. The Trade Development Council said that with more than 700 exhibitors and 6,000 visitors expected, the expo was the world's largest such event after Cannes.

Otherwise...a pleasant week with more unsettled weather returning Friday into the weekend along with more winter like temperatures. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 313 PM EST Sun Feb 19 2017 Another nice night tonight and another beautiful day tomorrow before a little rain moves in Monday night into early Tuesday. The bulk of the rainfall still on track to be mostly between midnight Monday evening and noon on Tuesday with around one quarter of an inch totals looking like the most likely outcome. Instability remains really weak so continue to keep thunder mention out for this brief event. Tuesday afternoon/evening should be a return to pleasant and spring like conditions...though lingering clouds could limit sunshine and hold back temperatures just a bit. Otherwise..some patchy light fog possible again tonight but hazardous conditions as a result of this fog are not expected. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 313 PM EST Sun Feb 19 2017 Extended period begins with northern stream sfc low tracking across northern Lower Michigan Wednesday into Wednesday night. Model soundings show dry air persisting through mid levels across the forecast area and omega fields are weak, suggesting a dry forecast. Dropped slight chance POPs for Wednesday night. A trailing front from this low lays out just south of Lower Michigan on Thursday as Plains cyclogensis is underway. Overrunning precip breaks out along and north of the front Thursday night with the main low arriving Friday into Saturday. There is elevated instability and strong isentropic ascent so thunder is possible Thursday night, but is left out of the forecast for now given low confidence. Worst case scenario is convection occurring well north of the sfc front where easterly flow holds in cold air as suggested by the 12Z GFS. There still remains a lot of ensemble spread with the track and intensity of the low, and run to run consistency of the operational runs of the ECMWF and GFS have shown some variations as can be expected that far out in time. The general idea is that the sfc low will track close to or north of the forecast area with rain on Friday, changing to snow at some point Friday night into Saturday, followed by a few lake effect snow showers later Saturday into early Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 619 PM EST Sun Feb 19 2017 For the most part expect VFR through Monday afternoon.Expect a high cloud (ceiling over 18,000 ft) overcast Monday during the day. I added MVFR fog (mist/BR) in most of the TAF forecast around in the 10z till 15z time frame Monday since winds should be light and model sounding look like there could be a little fog. The thicker fog should be over WI tomorrow morning. The wind may get gusty at MKG tomorrow afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 313 PM EST Sun Feb 19 2017 Winds and waves will gradually increase during the afternoon and evening hours Monday. These may pose hazards to small craft. Winds and waves should diminish early Tuesday with little hazard to small craft from winds and waves expected through at least early Friday. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 313 PM EST Sun Feb 19 2017 Light rain late Monday night into early Tuesday will occur in lower Michigan but will not result in any hazardous hydrologic conditions.
