Wild (2015)
January 18, 2015 Leave a comment
In 1995, after years of substance- and self-abuse, Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) decided to walk the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, a distance of 2,654 miles along the Sierra Nevada, in the hope of remaking herself as the woman her mother (Laura Dern) raised. Over the next few months, Strayed will cross three states, lose shoes and toenails, encounter desert, woodland and snowbanks, and slowly come to terms with her latent heroine addiction, her failed marriage to ex-husband Paul (Thomas Sadoski) and her mother's untimely death. Forced to skip a portion of the trail due to hazardous weather conditions, she resolves to finish not at the proscribed terminus but at the Bridge of the Gods, 1,1oo miles from her starting point.
Following in the footsteps of Tracks, John Curran's account of Robyn Davidson's 1,700 mile trek from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean, Jean-Marc Vallée's Wild finds another intrepid young woman inspired by circumstance to wander alone in the desert, this time California's Mojave as opposed to the Australian outback. For Cheryl Strayed, however, the reasons for her journey are slightly different; motivated not by generational malaise but personal trauma, Strayed (originally Nyland, but later changed — rather masochistically, it must be said — when she cheated on her husband) is seeking to redeem herself in her own eyes, and in the eyes of her late mother. Although just twenty-six when she embarked on the PCT, she had already endured a lifetime of anguish, and through flashbacks screenwriter Nick Hornby explores what Strayed herself has since dubbed her genesis story.
These parallel narratives — a feature inherited from Strayed's own source material — isn't the only major difference between the films, with Hornby giving voice to Strayed's internal dialogue where Marion Nelson left Mia Wasikowska's performance speak for itself. It's perhaps Wild's signature flourish, its writer employing a hypnotic, free-associative style which not only helps to unpack Strayed's psychological hang-ups for the audience but give her personal breakthroughs greater resonance and power. It's disorientating to begin with, as Strayed's thoughts — and John Mac McMurphy and Martin Pensa's edits — cut unconsciously from one memory to the next, but then elucidation facilitates reconciliation, however vicarious, as the protagonist begins to work through and eventually come to terms with these various traumas. Most people talk to themselves when alone, and Wild does a terrific job of recreating these apparently random utterances while also using them to develop Strayed's character.
Witherspoon is entirely convincing in the role, and though she obviously didn't recreate the journey in full (or even in significant part) she does an impeccable job of capturing the hardships and rewards of walking a long distance footpath. The opening scene, in which Strayed delicately teases a broken toenail, is suitably wince-inducing, while her amazement that a fellow hiker is managing twenty miles a day or when he later gives up is priceless. Vallee doesn't shy away from the darker truths either, and stays faithful to the fears and unfortunately the reality women often face when they choose to walk alone. In flashback, it's Dern that impresses most; Witherspoon admirably bares all, both emotionally and physically, but Dern manages a heart-breaking honesty with half as much effort. Her death, and the scenes following it, are haunting enough onscreen; it's no wonder Strayed felt the need to hike a hundred miles in reality.
That said, for all of its suffering and self-discovery Wild ultimately lacks the simple beauty of Tracks. The scenery is no less sensational and Strayed's achievements just as great, but the motivational ambiguities (despite often exhaustive detail) are no match for Robyn Davidson's single-minded determination. It never feels quite as wild.

The natural ability that students have when using technology continues to have an impact on both their academic performance and engagement levels.
A pedagogical model called Flipped Learning is helping both teachers and students embrace the new ways of working that technology is creating, and some would say it is improving how we learn.
So first of all, what is Flipped Learning?
Well, in basic form, Flipped Learning is giving students the ability to access learning content from anywhere, encouraging them to study in their personal space as well as in the classroom.
By embracing independent study, educators are able to turn the classroom into a more dynamic and interactive learning environment, which focusses on applying concepts, engaging creativity and developing subject related skills.
Last Friday, @acs365 hosted our first education #CloudAcademy as part of a series that we have been running for almost 6 months now. We hosted the event at @DenbighSchoolMK and were very fortunate to hear assistant headteacher, Simon Goodall, discuss the successes that he has seen with flipped Learning in the school's 6th form group.
5 of the 6th form students within the school have been provided with a Surface 3 and Office 365 to work with and the main tool that is being utilised is good old OneNote! With all of their content available online, the students have been able to study from anywhere. They can access coursework via OneNote, submit work for instant marking, and some have even started creating their own podcasts using their devices.
The project has been in place since January, here are the results so far...
Grades in January
Grades now
|Student A
|Student B
|Student C
|Students D & E
So how does flipped learning look in practice?
Learning involves lots of information but OneNote helps teachers and students capture it all on any device. Here are just a few things that Teachers can do with OneNote to help their students:
- Organise lesson plans
- Put course content into searchable digital notebooks
- Create personal workspaces for every student
- Add a content library for handouts
- Build a collaboration space for lessons and creative activities
All of the above can be viewed from any device, online and offline. With real-time class collaboration, adding new features into lesson plans easily, and both students and teachers having access from anywhere this tool is truly revolutionising the classroom.
Office Mix
Office Mix is a free add-in for PowerPoint that allows you to create and share engaging content with audio, video, inking, screen recording quizzes and more.
Office Mix is another way for educators to share engaging content that is relevant to their class topics. By adding interactive elements such as quizzes they can get direct feedback on student engagement/performance and have time to alter class activities based on what they see.
Check out this 4-minute video demo here.
Labelled as 'Facebook by Microsoft', Yammer is slightly misunderstood. Yes, it is designed similarly to a social network but its uses in Education are profound. This platform is a great tool for keeping both students and teachers well connected and engaged. Here are just some of the ways it can be used:
- Set up project groups for students when collaborating
- Create teacher groups to help with senior leadership decisions
- Connect with other school, colleges and universities
- Hold debates
- Create information hubs
- Online student-staff revision sessions
The possibilities are endless, and the beauty of a platform like Yammer is that it is designed to make it easy for you to create a number of things that suit your the needs of your school, college or University.
So if you are trying to improve the engagement of your students and want to increase the collaborative culture within your institute, take a look at the Flipped Learning concept and some of the tools above.
Equally, if you think you would benefit from some advice on where to start, you can arrange to speak to one of our specialists here.
But until then, happy educating everyone!

Our cars are our prized possessions. They give us our independence while taking us on new ad-ventures. Not only are they handy on the great American Road Trip, but they also can symbol-ize where we are in our lives. Everyone remembers their first clunker in high school, and can also remember their first upgrade when they landed their first big job. When our family starts expanding, we trade in our sporty coupe for a more utilitarian SUV or minivan. Many people celebrate retirement by finally splurging on that Shelby of their dreams, or outfitting a Sprinter for camping at our glorious National Parks. Those who are more eco-conscious express their beliefs by driving a hybrid or Smart car.
While the automobile wasn't an immediate hit when it first came off the assembly line in the early 20th century, by 1961 our entire infrastructure revolved around every American family owning a vehicle—so much that in some places, it has become unthinkable to get around with-out one. This makes the car even more vital to our lives: not only do we like them, but in some cases, they are our basic tools for survival. They take us to our jobs, to the grocery store, to school, and to the hospital. Which is why your average Joe would rather get rid of their refrig-erator or smartphone before getting rid of their car.
Both in symbol and value, the car is the most significant asset we own. Because the former usually outweighs the latter, we are hesitant to give up our automobiles during financial strains. Even so, there are moments when our household expenses are compounded by unex-pected and costly emergencies and cashing in on our vehicle's value is our only choice. Howev-er, we don't have to lose the use of our car in exchange for quick cash. With a Tennessee title loan, you get to keep and drive your car while accessing the money you need.
Tennessee title loans allow you to leverage your vehicle for quick cash. There are no credit checks or waiting periods. All you need to qualify is a drivable vehicle, its lien-free title, and photo ID. If you bring those in to a Mid-South Title Loans office, you can receive a cash loan of anywhere from $150 to $2,500, based on your vehicle's value. Plus, you get to leave our of-fice not only with quick cash in hand, but also with your keys. You keep your car while we hold on to its title. Once you've repaid your title loan in full, we'll return the title to you, along with our sincere thanks!
At Mid-South Title Loans, we know time is of the essence, so we have three convenient loca-tions throughout the Memphis metro area to better serve our customers: 1680 Winchester Rd, 4965 Summer Ave, and 2798 S. Perkins Rd. If you'd like to jumpstart your title loan process, all you have to do is fill out our convenient Title Loans Online Info Sheet, or stop by any of our three Mid-South Title Loans locations in Memphis today! You don't have to sell your car to get the quick cash you need to cover emergency expenses. After a visit with us, you'll be back on the road and carefree in no time!

I hesitate to even blog this, but real is real and I was having a horrible day on Monday. 13 days out from the Ironman race. Missed two days of workouts. I had had some late night pizza the night before (breaking all rules). Under alot of stress and not enough sleep, I was engaging in a familiar pattern of consuming alot of simple carbohydrates. Emotion over intellect, as I know better. The day started well, as I thought I might have a "Raw food" day. I had 5 bananas between 7:30 a.m. and 12:p.m.
3:00 p.m. Fish Tacos et al–Staff Meal at the Restaurant
Started out by making a salad of tomato, cabbage and cilantro slaw, guacamole and salsa. Thru in some crispy fried halibut (because it was there). Seriously, there should have been someone standing there asking me "Do you want to supersize that?" Had more of the crispy halibut and then a few chips dipped into that Nacho cheese stuff. Cheese food. What the heck was I thinking?
Followed that up with 2 Pecan sticky buns–we have really good ones at work but we always have a ton left over so they make their way out to the p.m. staff buffet. I'm stuffed.
Still a little down and out as I left work about 5:30 p.m.. Not really hungry, but felt like I wanted some sensory satisfaction through food. I think the proper term for this is "Emotional Eating". So where do you go when you are down and out in Vegas, kinda hungry, and looking for a distraction??????? A CASINO, BABY!
Don't hold this against me. I actually hate the casino culture and usually avoid them AT ALL COSTS. I left the strip, drove home. I have one of the nicer ones by my house "Red Rock Casino". There is a restaurant in it "Salt Lick". which is a BBQ place out of Austin, TX. I run by it a few times a week and the smell of the smoked food is intoxicating. Seriously, literally INTOXICATING. I'm thinking that I will gamble a little (out of character) at the bar so I can get a free beer (not a bad selection) and possibly order something to eat. I just wanted to unwind, forget about the day, and do something out of my usual routine.
Put 20 bucks into the machine as a sat the bar a nursed a Pale Ale. Decided to order a BBQ plate which included BBQ Pork and Slaw sandwich (I don't eat pork but it was recommended and I was slightly out of my mind), a side of smoked macaroni and cheese and a berry cobbler. The plate comes. It smells terrific. I eat the huge portion of macaroni and cheese, nibble some coleslaw and sauce off the sandwich and take a bite of cobbler. And order another beer. Decided that meat is a really a vehicle for good sauces and flavors and am not really into the PORK but the SAUCE. Thought briefly about ordering a bowl of sauce then thought the better of it. I get the sandwich and cobbler wrapped to go. Great, I think, Tempo is getting a dinner from left field.
Bloated but broke even on the gambling. Tempo is estatic for about 2 minutes as he wolfs down the sandwich and cobbler (what a goat belly!)
Followed this up a couple of hours later (9:30 p.m.) with a glass of wine and some really good blue cheese as I curl up on the couch and watch "He's not really that into You". Ladies, pay heed to this movie. It's true….remember this. Men Will Move Mountains….meaning that if a guy is in to you, he is, and will do anything to see you. I remember having one awesome date weekend with a fellow triathlete who had been fairly persistant in trying to see me. We seemed like a perfect fit and I was slightly smitten. When I left, he said he would call that night. He called 2 nights later and left a voice mail in the wee hours about how he forgot to charge his phone, blah blah blah. He asked me to get in touch with him and I sent him an email. A week went by and he called again at some weird hour and left a message that he had just gotten my email and "gee, he didn't know what happened, your email might have gone to spam..". I was ever so slightly bummed for about a nano second but figured it out pretty quickly. He wasn't that really into me. Confirmed by a couple of my male training partners. Anyway, good movie.
Went to bed at 11:45 p.m. If this isn't Ironman sabatoge, I don't know what is.
Get on the scale the next day and had gained 3 lbs. But back on track with my usual salads, GT Kombucha, vitamins and Smoothies, proper sleep and prescribed workouts–weight off and Ironman here I come!
As I reflect on this past monday, I realize that every once in a while you have to cut loose. Make it the exception, not the rule, and you will be fine. Maybe during an Ironman race taper isn't the optimal time, but don't beat yourself up if you fall off for a day. Or two.
Be mindful, but not militant, and have a great day.
And triathletes will move mountains.
Looking forward to Lake Placid

Ken Burns Jazz – Episode 8: "Risk"
75 Russell Street
Lewiston, ME 04240
Despite the escalation of the Cold War and the growing threat of nuclear annihilation, America achieves a level of growth and prosperity unimaginable just a few years earlier. The nation's musical tastes are changing too, as young people turn to sentimental singers and rhythm and blues. One by one, the big bands leave the road, but Duke Ellington stubbornly keeps his band together, while Louis Armstrong puts together a small group, the "All-Stars," and spreads his fame around the globe. Impresario Norman Granz makes a success of his jazz at the Philharmonic Tours, insisting on equal treatment for every member of his integrated troupes. Meanwhile, bebop musicians Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker are creating some of the most thrilling and inventive jazz ever played, but audiences drift away from their demanding music. A devastating narcotics plague sweeps through the jazz community, ruining lives and changing the dynamics of performance. Charlie Parker never overcomes his own addiction, destroying himself at the age of 34. And a number of gifted musicians – including Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan and John Lewis – find new ways to bring new audiences to jazz.

The Pacific softball team split two games against Top-25 teams Thursday on the first day of the Cathedral City Classic, beating Tennessee 4-3 before suffering a 9-0 loss to Oklahoma.
Pacific softball team splits
The Pacific softball team split two games against Top-25 teams Thursday on the first day of the Cathedral City Classic, beating Tennessee 4-3 before suffering a 9-0 loss to Oklahoma.
Kellee Wilson, a senior from Tracy, hit a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning against Tennessee (6-3), which is ranked No. 21 in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25. Wilson's blast came with two outs. It was her third career grand slam and first home run of the season.
Junior pitcher Shaina Brock earned the win to improve to 2-2 for the Tigers (3-5). She scattered nine hits over seven innings while walking one and striking out four.
Brock was called on again in the second game after sophomore Gabby McDaniel allowed five runs in 11/3 innings against Oklahoma, ranked 12th in the NFCA poll and No. 9 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25.
Kirsten Allen threw a two-hitter for the Sooners (10-1) in a game that was shortened to six innings. Allen took a perfect game into the sixth before freshman Megan Allen singled through the left side. The Tigers eventually loaded the bases but didn't score.
The Tigers will play No. 22 Northwestern at 10:30 a.m. and Colorado State at 1 p.m. today. Pacific concludes tournament play against Oregon at 10 a.m. Saturday.
Los Medanos 3, Delta 2
At Pittsburg, Delta (6-4) led 2-0 before Los Medanos (7-2) scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth and held on for the victory. Jake Cose doubled in a run and Jake Mote had an RBI single for Delta in the second inning. Ryan Scornaenchi also doubled for the Mustangs.
Starting pitcher Kevin Rogers allowed four hits, no earned runs, and struck out four in six innings.
Ripon Christian 5, Calaveras 4
At Ripon, the Knights scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to win. Jesse Jump went 3 for 3 with a home run and three RBI for the Redskins (0-1).
Mustangs finish second
At Sacramento, Lincoln High graduate Drake Dutschke shot a 2-over-par 74 to lead Delta College to a second-place finish at a Big 8 Conference match at Teal Bend Golf Course. The Mustangs picked up 14 points and moved into second place in the conference standings.

The situation: The current tenant, a private company, sells its business on the condition that the lease is transferred to the purchaser upon settlement. The tenant company's directors had personally guaranteed the tenant's obligations under the existing lease.
As required under section 61 of the Retail Leases Act 2003 (which provides that the assignment was related to the carrying on of an ongoing business), the current tenant (assignor) provided a copy of the Disclosure Statement to the proposed tenant (assignee) and to the landlord prior to seeking the landlord's consent to the assignment.
In doing so, the tenant and its guarantors were released from any of the proposed tenant's obligations under the lease.
The proposed tenant is also a private company, but its directors do not have the same assets behind them as the current tenant. As such, the landlord refuses to consent to the assignment on the basis that the proposed tenant does not have sufficient financial resources to meet the obligations of the lease (section 60 of the Act).
The VSBC: The dispute is referred to the VSBC for mediation involving the three parties – the landlord, the current and the proposed tenant.
The resolution: Settlement is reached, with the landlord consenting to the assignment on the basis that the:
- security deposit be increased from 1 month's rent to 6 months' rent, via a bank guarantee;
- current tenant agrees to pay the cost of preparing the bank guarantee, as the sale of business was based on an unchanged lease.

Early Failure Occurrence.
Building a business from scratch is not easy work. Many businesses are falling in the first years because they ran out of breath in the form of funds, energy, and motivation. Ways to apply trial and error, resulting in frequent breakdowns. Imagine how unfortunately, time, energy, and money you spend big enough only to finance the repeated failures.
Capital money, time and energy that exist, they should be used to run the business in a healthy manner and not to try to run a business.

In several failed attempts at building a business, the most valuable lesson, that if you want to be successful:
"Learn from the experience of people who already practice (both failed and successful) in the field that you want to be successful".
Ways to Start a Business.
So many tips or strategies to successfully start and build a business, but it all depends on your will and determination in realizing what is your desire.
"There is no success without a real action, and success becomes automatic, if you run a good plan, simply and sincerely follow".
For starters, a business started without any special tricks, of course businesses will not be able to run smoothly, even if you have a lot of capital and bold in taking the step. Business not only need capital but also the strategies and skills necessary effort that will lead you towards success. Hopefully summary and tips above can help you to be more confident to act.

There's a brand new Publix across the street, a McDonald's next door and two movie theaters about 15 minutes north in Riverview.
While the area around it bustles with development, the Ruskin Family Drive-In on Highway 41 has remained a constant in south Hillsborough County since it opened in 1952.
Owner Karen Freiwald said the new movie theaters — Goodrich Quality Theaters and Xscape Riverview 14 — aren't hurting her business in the least.
"Our customers come from Bradenton, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Venice," Freiwald said. "If they're going to drive by all those other theaters, they're not going to stop for those."
No, her biggest concern isn't competition. Her customers are loyal. They like to sit outside in an atmosphere so family focused that her husband has been known to stop the movie if he catches someone sneaking a beer.
Rowdiness of any kind is forbidden. And at a time when tickets to an indoor theater with popcorn and drinks can set a family of four back $100, Freiwald works to keep prices low. For $24.99, one family of four ordered a large coke, two 12-inch pizzas, and two nachos. Movie tickets run $6 each for adults. Cash only.
"If you spent $40 here at the snack bar you wouldn't even be able to eat it all," Freiwald said. "Customers appreciate you looking out for their best interest and they come back for more."
The biggest issue facing the Ruskin Family Drive-In is supply: The lineup of kids movies available has been running thin for the last several years.
"They don't even make G-rated movies any more," Freiwald said. "Everything is PG or PG-13."
Her customers just don't turn out when the movies are too violent, too complicated or sexual and that hurts business.
"Some people don't even have kids, they just like the kids movies," Freiwald said. "Customers will tell me they want to see more action movies but when I play them no one shows up."
This year, the hottest kids movie of the holiday season is Sing, an animated, musical film starring a koala. But that's about it. The second showing will be Almost Christmas, a live-action PG-13 movie about a family struggling to get along during the holidays.
A couple of years ago, Freiwald and all other theater operators had to come up with about $100,000 to upgrade to new digital projectors. She was able to make up the difference, but many drive-in operators weren't. The Ruskin theater is now one of only about seven drive-ins in the state, Freiwald said. But the business is still going strong.
With space for 220 vehicles, there's no more room to expand on the property. During peak season, like over the summer or during spring break, she has to turn people away because the lot fills up.
The Internet has made it easier for people to find the theater. And as it grows into more of a novelty, Freiwald said, she has seen an increase in European tourists seeking the old-time American experience.
But it's the locals who have kept the business alive so long.
"I've been coming here my whole life," said Chris Jordan, 47, of Ruskin, who had a front-row spot last week to see the new Jack Reacher movie with his 17 year-old son, 14-year-old daughter and his wife. "It's kind of like you step back in time."

Supplies: alphabet stamp letters (we didn't like the ready-to-use ones because the fonts for our initals looked weird so we bought the letters and affixed to bobbins we found in clearance bin...either way works!), beverage-size napkins (purchased at dollar store), black ink pad, stamp cleaning pad.
Stamp affixed to bobbin
stamp anywhere you like on napkin (not too hard so doesn't bleed)... as our initals are both "S" we decided to do one in each corner. You can choose to just do one corner, or centre, or overlap initals.
Napkin is ready
Bottoms up!
We also tried it using Versa-Mark on black napkins but doesn't show up quite as much as we liked

Maruti Suzuki updates its smartplay infotainment system
Maruti Suzuki is providing updates for its smartplay infotainment system. The update includes Android Auto and some new maps. The company had introduced Smartplay touchscreen infotainment system with the Baleno, which later on was extended to Ciaz, Ertiga, Vitara Brezza and the S-Cross, but it supported only Apple CarPlay.
The company has decided to do away with this limitation and for this, it will update its infotainment system to add Android Auto to its cars. Maruti Suzuki will not be charging anything for this. In India, Android based phones have a larger popularity than iPhones and thus this update would enable potential buyers to also think about Maruti Suzuki cars also.
Other cars in India like Hyundai already offer Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Mirrorlink. After this update along with Android Auto, the existing features like Bluetooth, AM-FM, Aux-in, 'intuitive' playback management, navigation with saved destination, route customisation will remain. The new Android Auto update will enable users to connect their smartphones to the infotainment system via USB to access a range of apps.

In the year 1863 when the American civil was going on there were tokens produced that were patriotic. These were not made by government mints but rather by private entities. Perhaps the most well-known among them is called the Dix token. They got their name from a noteworthy politician of that time (John A Dix) that famously said when addressing an officer in charge of bringing cutter boats from New Orleans to New York: "If anyone attempts to haul down the American flag shoot him on the spot." His name today honors the army base in New Jersey: Fort Dix.
The front of the 1863 civil war patriotic dix token is adorned with the American Flag (in the middle) with 13 stars around it. The following words are engraved: "This is the flag of our Union." On the back is written: "If anybody attempts to tear it down shoot on the spot." These words go in a circle around the name of the man that inspired them: Dix. So below we are lucky to have 5 specimens of this particular copper token from the year 1863:
5-lima keping Token Kuno Token antik koin logam token bersejarah Amerika Serikat token jaman peperangan di Amerika Dix Token pembuatan untuk tahun 1863 didepan bergambar Bendera Amerika dengan 13-tiga belas gambar Bintang dan dibelakang token bergambar tulisan besar "DIX" dan bertuliskan "Sebuah kutipan patroitic dari seorang politisi terkenal di USA yang bernama John A Dix " Kondisinya bisa anda lihat di foto-foto yang telah kami pajang ini, Apabila anda berminat untuk menbeli token koin ini silahkan anda bisa menghubungi e-mail kami langsung di email@example.com Thank you , Terima kasih,

The water level in the pond is lower than we would like at this time of year and more water would be welcome. It's ironic therefore that, after some weeks without rain, the rain we need should choose to come today, our Autumn work morning!
But not downhearted nor deterred, our six loyal volunteers rolled up their sleeves, metaphorically, and worked hard through it all. They did a splendid job tidying the site for the Winter, well done and thank you all.
Thank you as well to the Manor Hospital for again providing refreshments for the workers which, as you can see, were most welcome.
Next Saturday happily we'll be in the dry for the concert with 'Heart and Music', the last anniversary event of the year.

Advice For Anyone New To This
Posted 02 December 2009 - 07:40 PM
I will try to be more original by adding:
Don't see each report, assessment, meeting as a definitive opinion of your child. The professionals give you pieces of the puzzle, but you are the one who knows your child and must put the pieces of the puzzle together....you can see the bigger picture when others will only see parts. That is your strength as a parent.
Sorry- just want to add, I was referring to myself as unoriginal (for saying the same thing as someone else), not Kadenza
Posted 02 December 2009 - 09:31 PM
Do not be too proud to ask for help. Do it before you are ill and forced to accept help.
SS are not the enemy and will not steal your child in the middle of the night. They may not be able to give you what you want but ask anyway and never do a frantic clean to let them see you are coping when you are trying to get help due to not coping
Posted 07 December 2009 - 10:26 PM
Things will either get better or worse. If they're going to get better, you've something to look forward to. If they're going to get worse, be thankful for how they are now.
Posted 10 December 2009 - 02:07 PM
Buy gin and wine in bulk quantities
Definately !!!!!

"No one cares about your child like you do. To them he is another report in a pile of other reports so push and ring and make a nuisance of yourself because you are the only one that can."
It made me feel so miserable and alone at the time but she was right! I am his spokesperson and only I can get him what he needs. I get it wrong a lot of the time because it's not in my nature to be pushy, but just make sure the doctors/therapists etc know your name from time to time if nothing else, and have sent you that report they promised.
Oh, and find out WHY you are going for these assessments, knowledge is indeed power.
Posted 25 December 2009 - 08:32 AM
Professional training is usually very limited - we also have to take a journey (often against our training organisations). Do not overestimate professional knowledge - it is often much less than you imagine. The future....... ?
Posted 25 December 2009 - 12:24 PM
Professionals do not have a crystal ball and cannot predict the future.
Also never underestimate your kids.
James has done so many things I never thought possible and I no longer think he won't be able to do this or that.
My advice is to try not to have too many preconceived ideas.
Posted 19 January 2010 - 02:45 PM
Posted 26 January 2010 - 06:00 PM
you know them best, if professionals say No and definately you think otherwise fight to the death , it will be the best thing you ever did for your child , and could save you/them a lot of heart ache as they grow older .
Posted 26 January 2010 - 06:37 PM
Never, ever give up - or accept second best.
Remember to say thank you to anyone who has helped you - you might need them again
Ask questions - and ask again until you get answers
NB - A BIG, BIG thank you to all on ASDf who have helped me
Posted 27 February 2010 - 08:48 PM
And like said before you know your child best. I know as a parent it can be very hard to talk about your child's problems and of course your own child is lovely, but to get help you have to think of the worst case scenario (for example when claiming DLA).
When you have a meeting with several professionals come prepared and know exactly what you want the outcome of this meeting to be. You can bring an advocate with you to these meeting there are charities out there that can help you.
And last of all you are never alone lots of us have been there before and will read your post and sent you encouraging messages back
Posted 10 March 2010 - 01:19 AM
xxx Thank you xxx
Posted 27 August 2010 - 02:45 PM
At first it's a hard thing to do, but it does get easier as you get older and wiser (or do a Jill and just get grumpier lol).
You will get judged & you will be commented about but just ignore it. They're not worth it.
Or, if having a particularly bad day & someone really gets your goat, I find this works if said in a loud voice "do you have problems with all disabled children, or just mine?"
Oh, and whisky helps too. And not biting your nails after changing nappies. But both of these probably go without saying.
Posted 17 September 2010 - 12:00 PM
There is some great advice on this thread, backs up so much of what I'm doing and reinforcing that I am right!
Posted 14 October 2010 - 04:19 PM
Help your child to be all they can be
Help the schools to see what you see
(I've been told) not to apologise for your child's ASD.

We are going to take a look at one of the more interesting totals of the day when the Texas Rangers take on the Seattle Mariners in Seattle. It seems like odds makers have set this total just a little bit too low for an American League game, but where is the better value play?
Yu Darvish takes the mound for Texas and comes in with a 3.03 ERA and 1.06 whip in six appearances this season. Over the past few seasons, he has faced Seattle three times and has a 3.72 ERA versus them with the Mariners hitting .250 against him. With Darvish, though you know he has the capability to come in and put up some really solid numbers while keeping teams to a low total. At the plate, Texas is not as dangerous as we have seen in years past as a coming hitting just .223 as a team and averaging 7.34 hits per game both ranking them 28th in the major leagues. Across the board, there isn't one offensive category in which they rank in the top 10 in the league and even their on-base percentage is pretty woeful at .299 which ranks them 26th. With their poor statistics, it's hard to believe that they are going to put up some serious numbers tonight.
Seattle Mariners
Yovani Gallardo gets the start for Seattle and comes in with a 5.08 ERA and 1.55 whip along with a horrible 6.55 ERA at home. On those numbers alone, even against the not so dangerous Rangers, my radar really gets up considering the low total set by oddsmakers. At the plate, Seattle has been decent hitting .251 as a team and averaging 8.52 hits per game ranking them 12th and 13th in the major leagues respectively. They also are averaging 4.90 runs per game along with a .331 on-base percentage both which ranks them seventh. This line really bothers me considering these numbers and that Seattle has some nice pieces in their offensive lineup. I understand the pitcher they're facing the day is no slouch but I would think at home they would be old to put up their share of runs. For me, this is a bit of an opposite play so I just don't think they get to the number.
MLB Odds
Oddsmakers have set a surprisingly low 7.5 total for this matchup and for my MLB pick, I will back the under. This is simply numbers play for me in that it looks a little bit off and since the odds makers are not accustomed to giving away free money I'm going to go against the perception that this will be a high-scoring game.Free MLB Pick: Under 7.5Best Line Offered: at Pinnacle

An Introduction Learning Multiple Languages
Some people who learn a minute language mistakenly believe they just can't learn any longer languages outside of this. In truth the opposite does work – grasping languages is easier. The primary language an individual learn — your grandmother tongue, or indigenous language – would be the hardest. You discover by experience for the very first years can ever have, and an individual learn using necessity – quite a good motivator. A number of people are created into numerous language locations, but a good number of learn extra languages through attending higher education or self-study down the road in existence.
We presume that with the time together with effort needed to learn another language, we will not really can learn further languages subsequently. We understand languages in different ways later through life compared with we did to be a child, but that is not necessarily a terrible thing. Even as begin to review our 2nd language, we will learn together with sharpen a few skills that individuals don't utilize completely inside the other facets of our existence. As we grasp our 2nd language, these learning expertise improve. The phrase I'm keen on is — "we can quickly learn how to learn dialects." Which often brings us all to studying multiple different languages. There really are a few strategies to figuring out several dialects, whether you may be learning them while doing so, or one-by-one in sequence.
Cognates – There is always often certain vocabulary in the language you're learning which includes words in keeping with Native English speakers or an additional language you are sure of. This happens because languages happen to be related together or no less than borrow from one another. Use that in your favor. When you start to study some language, search for a list or bunch of cognates. This doesn't just get an individual started concerning expanding an individual's vocabulary, you will quickly recognize designs of transliteration and pronunciation that can be peculiar to the language. A nice bonus is the point that your menu of potential cognates grows up with just about every language. Intended for
instance, as I learned 'Ayer' inside Spanish, When I didn't understand any cognate inside English, even so the French phrase for 'yesterday' will be 'hire. 'It really is almost identical after your account for your slight impact in pronunciation.
Language Family members – Bear in mind many different languages are relating to other dialects and discuss many features in keeping. If you currently know some The Spanish language, learning Italian language or French is quite a bit easier. You currently worked difficult learning the majority of the grammar options that tend not to occur inside English as you studied Simple Spanish, like even if, agreement around nouns and also adjectives, and even more complex action-word conjugations. Now once you start to examine French, let's pretend, those characteristics are further nature together with won't involve nearly so much study time and energy to learn about.
Tips for English Language Learning
English language Discovering Tips – Lots of individuals ask any question – How long does it choose to adopt learn some language? The give an account to that is without a doubt – Just how much time have you seen? Obviously the more time a person study a faster you'll find out. It is important to speak the particular language as much as you can even when you make errors. The even more you consider, the faster you should start engaging. Here usually are some up language figuring out tips to help you out to uncover English:
Everyday terms Language Figuring out Tip 1 – The crucial element you should do is to be controlled by and learn the PRONUNCIATION of your language. My advice in your direction is to build this right from day an individual! Spend time on Spending some time on this kind of now and the rest within your study with the rest of your learning time period will advantage greatly! A lot of languages happen to be phonetic, some ordinarily are not. Phonetic mean that the sounds as well as the letters within the words often match. There are international phonetic symbols that coach you how to be able to pronounce many of the sounds in many of the world 'languages'. The English language isn't really a phonetic dialect. It is a must to first learn the phonetic token that relate to the tones of up words. It should be possible to know English without any knowledge of these phonetic symbols your learning time are going to be much longer many times your own pronunciation can be inaccurate as you're relying at memorizing this sounds for the words largely of your own learning, much like you were forced to do as a baby. I highly recommend the learning of the phonetic designs for college students of English before commencing your to start with grammar or possibly reading guide! If you can learn the appropriate pronunciation at the start, it you will save a lot of precious mastering time subsequently. It is significantly harder to more difficult to undo inappropriate learning and now have to relearn the word correctly. I experience an excellent workbook (including audio CD) that I can recommend to your account absolutely help learn all of this phonetic significance. It's labeled "Phonetics intended for Learners involving English Pronunciation" If you suffer from already commenced studying Everyday terms but have to have some assistance with pronunciation this specific book definitely will still aid you!
Who Came Looking For Mensa Christi?
In Mensa Christi, the beautiful just right the Coast of Galilee just where Jesus reached the Disciples right after His resurrection in addition to made them beginning morning breakfast time, there is mostly a plaque right from Luke 5: 5, "At Thy word Let me let lower the net" which usually summarizes their early faith plus obedience regarding Simon Chris. However, inside Gospel credit account of Tom, chapter 11, at the of Christ's ministry, it can be here which we find an unusually discouraged couple of Disciples, which include Peter, who may have returned to make sure you Galilee additionally, the poignant, bittersweet level of comfort of remembrance of the earlier days with Christ. While fishing for this particular afternoon, according to make sure you John's membership, they hadn't caught just about anything, which alone is outstanding, because all the fish leap right out of your water, using splash subsequently after splash, via dusk to make sure you dawn. An event that amazes everyone as they simply stand relating to the shores for the Sea with Galilee the moment visiting the particular Holy Get.
After Christ called on the Disciples and also told them how to cast most of the net relating to the right side for the boat, they plucked up a fantastic catch! Philip, always impetuous, jumped in the water and additionally swam the one hundred year in document time… he should come in the Olympics! The others visited shore more sedately, dragging all the loaded total after them given it was fat to lift throughout the boat. John's bill tells U. S. that subsequently after breakfast, Jesus and additionally Peter required a walk down the shore belonging to the lake by means of John pursuing behind. It can be during this approach walk, when Christ asks Peter 3 x if she loves the dog.
Scholars experience debated for years and years about so why Jesus quizzed the question thrice. Was the software because Andrew d denied Him 3 x? Is the software because you can get three different love? A similar scholars possess debated with the exact selection of fish noted on the account, 153?? Various theories are actually discussed, from the quantity of species for fish in the ocean to may be languages spoken many countries. In the, they will probably all come to be right, merely God has found out! But shall we not trip or get hold of stuck on this info, what much more find motivating is in which Peter, human is actually faults similar to ours, can be reconciled to help you his Deliverer.
Language School – Benefits of Studying Abroad
Are you serious about learning a different language? Studying in the language higher education abroad is a great way to understand and turn into fluent in a very new foreign language. Signing up for one language lessons in where you live can be very best way to determine should you actually see the language grasping process and then the language you're learning, but if you ever really need to take one's own learning to another level, setting up a expressions course in foreign lands is a great choice.

This can help you learn the actual language immediately because you're forced in order to speak them, read this, and publish it daily. Furthermore, the teachers along at the language college where most people study will probably teach you the fresh language with no speaking any mother language. This will certainly force you determine whatever the teacher says by reading her / his gestures and additionally expressions. Also, you will be asked to speak together with your classmates with the new vocabulary.
Although remaining immersed inside a new language invariably is an overwhelming, tricky, and irritating experience, your diligence and dedication can pay off tremendously during time. After only a couple of weeks inside language tutorials abroad, you'll recognize a spectacular improvement in the language abilities. Not only contemplating able in order to complete daily activities with the new language without difficulty, you'll actually be capable to put essay sentences together as well as hold a fundamental conversation. This is above most complete after numerous years of terms study in twelfth grade or higher education.
The improvement within your language skills will be based largely on what much effort and hard work you place in it. When your idea of visiting language faculty is partying for hours with a person's fellow kids and able to class which has a hangover, in which case you probably will likely not progress a good deal. However, if you take some time to speak while in the new language on a daily basis and research hard, your expressions skills may improve very fast.
Learning and Teaching Modern Foreign Languages
The structure within the National Course load enables teachers to apply this working hard document that allows you to inform one's own long-term, mid-term and payday planning. Throughout general pointers, it boasts a Programmed with Study defined during the 1996 Education Represent is so important, skills in addition to processes which should be taught so that you can pupils about different qualities and maturities through key position. ' Present day Languages Departments provide the responsibility to settle on how they demand this programmed to get implemented, and this really need to be detailed on their schemes of be employed by the numerous year sets.
The Course of analyze features all five mains strands to pay in Primary stage 3 not to mention 4: students really should acquire awareness and expertise in the particular target language, establish languages competencies, develop language-learning competencies, develop personal awareness with a width of research. These strands happen to be sub-divided during more distinct points, which are usually no for a longer time topic based mostly, such while 'pupils has to be taught a principle about interrelationship involving sounds as well as writing during the target language'.
The Country's Curriculum additionally includes accomplishment targets as well as level descriptors which will help to measure the performance about students uniformly in the up. The 1996 Learning Act, spot 353a, defines any attainment goal for Present day Foreign Languages being the 'knowledge, skills and realizing that pupils about different qualities and maturities are hoped for to have because of the end of each and every key stage'. Attainment targets all over the curriculum encompass eight place descriptors, which describe backyard of ability and skills that students ought to have when people reach which level.
Those core subjects were only available in primary education, students had been assessed applying these concentrations; therefore, secondary schools are offered with before data every student novices at a higher education. However, as languages commonly are not statutory with primary education, secondary Current Foreign Dialects teachers commonly are not provided by means of any advice concerning students' past learning. This suggests that with Year 7 students are typically in mixed capability groups, amongst which unfortunately some students have formerly practiced dialects.
Learning Foreign Languages Tips
First you ought to do a few researches. Study the guides, and materials suitable to your preferences. How can you do in which? Well the best way is to look online and go to the largest purchasing sites the fact that sell textbooks, CD's and also multimedia; customers usually leave suggestions on items they've got bought. Read typically the feedback and also quite instantly you can determine what precisely books and also materials are ideal to your wants. On one other hand, may very well not need to purchase anything more.
Some libraries use a foreign terms section and they'll let everyone borrow his or her material free of charge. In inclusion, some websites for instance also can offer you a free head begin in the tongue or dialect you would like to learn. In case you are a college student, who is at high university or plans to attend college, (or already are in college) it is possible to ask some teachers' opinion on which books/materials are ideal for figuring out your language (of choice). Students may also consider getting the language, of attention, as section of their course.
Listen to language music watching foreign terms television, even when at very first the terminology all appears like 'one substantial long expression. 'Simply by watching the actual programs, you are going to learn fresh words. Some words use a way for jumping out and about at you actually and staying with you although you may initially don't know what that they mean. Eventually, you can easily learn exactly what these terms mean by just asking a new native speaker phone, asking with school or even through do-it-yourself study.
In the event you keep playing foreign popular music or watching language television, in moment the 'one substantial word' will start to sound similar to 'smaller word of mouth chunks' ultimately you can tell wherever one statement begins and additionally another ends although you may don't realize the word(s) signify. Later about, you can easily investigate their meanings.
Architecture and Language
In modernity there are no additional steady regulations of relationships. Connections can be elliptical and even changing. Format and syntax are relational; still, they typically are not whatever. Modernity is related to the mobility of connections that happens to be not reducible to help you pure reasoning or rationalism. Modernity is without a doubt dreaming innovative languages which you'll find beyond manifestation. Language is to dreaming liberty. Whoever kills language wrecks him or perhaps her.
Language is mostly a second shape. Delaunay's' prints, their 'window to city', all the surrealist narrative, the nouveau roman every explore language in the form of second system. It is definitely the materialized heart. With Novelist your physique becomes a stream, the night time, the afternoon, the cosmos. His 'liquid girls' are often the secret with language. To know 'milk can be black' is likewise tiny because secrets with language relating us straight away to the cosmos. Language is mostly a secret identifying.
Language is truly what closes itself with the void. Mallarme? And additionally Duchamp reveal us, that in case the market is words, – it's are up against is useless. Their runs are trajectories interested in meaning. Doing Architecture is mostly a love pertaining to language. It's always like able to the leave and researching the lessons belonging to the stream. It's always being solely: the horizon and even earth interacting with, vastness, emptiness, routine, change and even space. It is courage for you to face your 'empty face' in the universe which allows for new probabilities of languages and different life.
Language is constantly somewhat just before our feelings, just enjoy writing as well as drawing. Surrealist making, the design or draw in Structures, are that flow involving language, sanctioned form with swimming, diving into an element that is previously there, for instance city through all their superimpositions. With regards to the superimpositions located in Cezanne and also Schindler's operate the superimposition and even layering in space, volumes of prints and tones. Language is preceding our views.
How To Training a Foreign Language
ADVANTAGES INVOLVING KNOWING YET ANOTHER LANGUAGE – You'll be able to enjoy increased personal power in a very foreign country if you speak your language. Without leaving your own property town, you can start the novels and traditions of yet another country when it's possible to read a language. You will certainly feel drastically empowered getting directions, inquiring with regards to places to travel to, and generating new pals and acquaintances inside language of your respective host land. You will likely expand your small business and professions.
ANYONE COULD LEARN — Like a lot of complex knowledge, learning a language is additional a subject of day-to-day effort when compared with ability. The truth is scientists that will study the neural have learned that parts of computer are special for mastering and employing language. Except a couple of people throughout special instances, virtually every single adult man speaks no less than one language.
BASIC RULE – The key principle for you to learning a whole new language can be regular employ. It is really a lot easier to find out a verbal, living language over 'dead' words. You could study a language in several ways and greater the greater, but the most effective way is by simply immersion. Practice using native speakers typically as probable. If you simply can't find ancient speakers, then come across others who making the effort to learn just likes you. Your local university may have a very language property, such as being a Spanish Property, a particular language House, or possibly a Russian Property.
If anyone attends the teachers, you can question living generally there. If that you do not, you may possibly still be permitted to visit along with practice your language while using residents. The net also provides entry to groups for individuals that want to train a language. Check newsgroups, Ail Groups, as well as MSN groupings. You could practice following the words by seeing a video or DVD in this language. Foreign films are the best way to learn more regarding the culture that will speaks your selected language.
Language Acquisition vs Language Learning
Since well get noticed, children purchase their new mother tongue by way of interaction using parents plus the environment that will surrounds these people. There should communicate paves how for words acquisition to occur. As authorities suggest, there exists a natural capacity divorce lawyers Atlanta human being to buy language. With the time a youngster is five years, s/he could express concepts clearly along with almost perfectly through the standpoint of words and sentence structure.
Although, parents certainly not sit using children to go into detail to these people the workings in the language, their utterances show a wonderful command involving intricate regulations and patterns that might drive an adult crazy in case s/he tried out to memorize these people and have tried them accurately. This suggests that it must be through contact with the words and purposeful communication which a first word is bought, without the importance of methodical studies of any sort.
When it relates to second words learning throughout children, you will learn that this specific happens virtually identically thus to their first words acquisition And in many cases teachers concentration more for the communicative element of the language in lieu of on only rules along with patterns to the children for you to repeat along with memorize. So as to acquire words, the learner requires a source involving natural transmission. The stress is for the text in the communication but not on the contour. Young students who will be in the operation of acquiring an extra language get a good amount of "on your job" train.
To put it briefly, we discover this tendency through which second words teachers may be aware in the importance involving communication throughout young individuals and his or her inability for you to memorize regulations consciously (although they may definitely purchase them by having a hands-on approach equally they did using mother tongue)
However, when it relates to adult individuals, a quick glance at the current techniques and words courses offered clearly signifies that communication is scheduled aside, neglected or maybe disregarded. In most cases, training revolve all-around grammar, habits, repetitions, drillings along with rote memorization without obviously any good human interlocutor to connect to.
A New Year's Resolution to Learn a New Language
Perhaps you could have needed to learn your language of your respective Grandmother. You could possibly make use of learning a state language as well as unofficial subsequent language of your respective country, including French throughout Canada as well as Spanish throughout USA. As well as Greek throughout Melbourne Questionnaire! Apparently the other largest Greek-speaking city on the globe after Athens, regarding number of folks who converse Greek, can be Melbourne Questionnaire! Or you could possibly feel similar to learning something feels spectacular like Japan or Swahili.
One particular Saturday throughout November 2004, your national Canadian magazine the 'The Earth and Mail' placed its total front web site in China, explaining that while using globalization involving jobs, Chinese are going to be a needed business language for the future.
A fun approach to start learning a whole new language, in particular when you're not only a disciplined sort of student, should be to enroll in a very language study course You meet people in your current class who may have the very same language interest because you which can be fun itself, you're being told by a true teacher, and the once every seven days schedule in the classes means you are practicing a new language often and progressively.
Local area centers present these training. Colleges, individual language institutes along with continuing education and learning programs in university present them. You could be lucky enough to get cultural companies nearby that include language training. For occasion, a community immigrant organization inside my town gives courses throughout Swahili, words spoken in numerous east Cameras countries.
Check your local library probably features language mastering resources that one could borrow, should you not want to begin the year while using expense of getting these resources. When studying yourself in using this method, try for you to devote 10 minutes daily to a certain amount of study as well as revision, instead of performing 1 hour some day but and then not seeking the time to think about it again for a few months.
With 10 units of study on a daily basis, you will not feel just like you are generating progress for the reason that progress can be so gradual. On the other hand, the progress also are steady, and in 3-4 months time if you look back about how much you've got learned, you will probably impress on your own.

PJM has just released a new study it commissioned to analyze the impacts of integrating large amounts of renewable power into its grid management system. This report is somewhat similar to a Synapse study that PJM released last May.
Here is a link to PJM's 55-page executive summary of the report. Only PJM would release a 55-page "summary."
Here are the study's main conclusions:
The study findings indicate that the PJM system, with adequate transmission expansion and additional regulating reserves, will not have any significant issues operating with up to 30% of its energy provided by wind and solar generation. The amount of additional transmission5 and reserves required are briefly defined later in this summary and in much greater detail in the main body of the report.
- Although the values varied based on total penetration and the type of renewable generation added, on average, 36% of the delivered renewable energy displaced PJM coal fired generation, 39% displaced PJM gas fired generation, and the rest displaced PJM imports (or increased exports).
- No insurmountable operating issues were uncovered over the many simulated scenarios of system-wide hourly operation and this was supported by hundreds of hours of sub-hourly operation using actual PJM ramping capability.
- There was minimal curtailment of the renewable generation and this tended to result from localized congestion rather than broader system constraints.
- Every scenario examined resulted in lower PJM fuel and variable Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs as well as lower average Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs). The lower LMPs, when combined with the reduced capacity factors, resulted in lower gross and net revenues for the conventional generation resources. No examination was made to see if this might result in some of the less viable generation advancing their retirement dates.
- Additional regulation were required to compensate for the increased variability introduced by the renewable generation. The 30% scenarios, which added over 100,000 MW of renewable capacity, required an annual average of only 1,000 to 1,500 MW of additional regulation compared to the roughly 1,200 MW of regulation modeled for load alone. No additional operating (spinning) reserves were required.
- In addition to the reduced capacity factors on the thermal generation, some of the higher penetration scenarios showed new patterns of usage. High penetrations of solar generation significantly reduced the net loads during the day and resulted in economic operation which required the peaking turbines to run for a few hours prior to sun up and after sun set rather than committing larger intermediate and base load generation to run throughout the day.
- The renewable generation increased the amount of cycling (start up, shut down and ramping) on the existing fleet of generators, which imply increased variable O&M costs on these units. These increased costs were small relative to the value of the fuel displacement and did not significantly affect the overall economic impact of the renewable generation.
- While cycling operations will increase a unit's emissions relative to steady state operations, these increases were small relative to the reductions due to the displacement of the fossil fueled generation.
Keep in mind that this report, prepared by GE Energy Consulting, was prepared for PJM, which is focused on grid scale operations. The study was designed to tell PJM the results of various scenarios of renewable generation on its system. While the PJM cartel definitely shapes trends in generation because the companies that own big generation run the cartel, PJM itself cannot create government policy or policy incentives that encourage different kinds of generation.
The study was not designed to advocate for one kind of generation over another. It was focused on showing the impacts of various levels of renewable generation on PJM's operations.
The significance of the GE report is what it says about the impacts of expanding renewable power in PJM:
- Expanded renewable generation would put more pressure on fossil generators to be able to ramp production up and down much more quickly than the current system.
- Expanded renewable generation would drive down the price of electricity.
- Expanded renewable generation would raise costs for fossil generators, because they have to vary their output more than they do now.
- The concept of base load generation would disappear with expanded renewable generation.
- Expanded renewable generation would not cause any operational problems for PJM as the grid operator.
The GE study does not do a very good job modeling or presenting useful information about new transmission investment that would be required by expanded grid scale renewable development. First, footnote 5 in the executive summary, which appears on the same page as the conclusions quoted above states: "This study did not examine the cost allocation for the transmission expansion required to deliver the renewable energy in the study scenarios." Cost allocation is at the heart of the transmission issue. It appears that GE Energy Consulting is playing the old PJM game of hiding the all important questions of who benefits and who pays for transmission projects.
The one conclusion that our friends in the Midwest can draw from this study is that PJM Interconnection doesn't need to import wind-generated electricity from the Great Plains. Zero. None.
