Worn as the first layer next to the skin, a base layer should be worn all year and changed with the season, with the aim of properly regulating your temperature. From ascending snow capped mountains in scorching temperatures, to ploughing through wintry snow, a base layer is a ride essential.

Man made or a natural fibre? Popular models can be made from either highly technical man made fabrics which do perform extremely well, or from a light weight merino wool. However, their role is the same, to either keep you cool or warm depending on the conditions whilst pulling sweat away from your body. Within cycling there is much debate over which is the better option, but rather than getting involved in that, our advice would be to wear the material you have historically preferred, and which appeals to you as a cyclist and suits the conditions in which you ride. A word about fit If there is one item in your cycling wardrobe who's performance is drastically affected by fit, it is the cycling baselayer. It is simply essential that the baselayer sits directly against the rider's skin where it can work to move sweat away from the body in order to properly regulate core temperature. A baselayer that is loose will simply not function. Keep it fitted, keep it working! Less >> Sorted by lowest price

Our primary service is tutoring, in many subject areas and in study and learning skills. T/LC services are provided free of charge to students currently enrolled in academic classes at Delta. You must have a Delta student ID or other picture ID to obtain walk-in tutoring. Most tutoring is on a walk-in basis. Professional staff may occasionally make appointments to see students. Most general education courses, including math, biology, chemistry, CST, social sciences such as psychology or political science, humanities such as history, and English, are covered in staff hours and student tutor walk-in hours. Some courses may have Study Groups; Structured Learning Assistance is provided for ENG090, MTH092, and paired sections of MTH092/096. Walk-in hours can be very busy, especially from about 10 am to 3 or 4 pm. You may get the help you need in just a few minutes. But if you have several questions or lots of work to do, you should plan on at least an hour. A walk-in tutor will probably work with you part of that time, and check with you periodically. The T/LC cannot guarantee that tutoring can be provided for every Delta course, or that every subject will be covered at all times. If you are hoping to work with a particular tutor, phone the T/LC at 686-9314 to make sure that person is in before you make a special trip to campus! T/LC tutors will not assist students with any take-home tests or quizzes. A test is the students' chance to demonstrate that they know, understand, and can apply the course concepts on their own.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway: Alpaca from the Oxfam Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Internet, Family, Women, Men, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500
We've been listing a bunch of gadgets and toys in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide, but we've heard it said many times that the holidays have become, like, "so commercial." Hey, we aren't ones to turn a shiny new gadget away, but we also understand that sometimes it's better to help those who are in serious need. That said, we wanted to point you to Oxfam America. The company allows you to gift a tangible charitable gift to a family in need, as their goal is to help put an end to poverty and injustice. We're talking about real animals here. You can donate a dozen baby chicks, a goat (or a full tribe of goats!), sheep, cows, honey bees, and more. Heck, you can even donate manure. We wanted to help get the word out, and to do so, we're gonna give away an alpaca.
Alpacas are doe-eyed with cashmere-soft fur and flourish at altitudes well over 10,000 feet. Because few other animals are as hardy, these camelids are vital to Andean communities. Your gift of an alpaca meadow ensures plenty of nutrient-rich grass to help herds weather tough winters. And that means a lot to families who rely on these critters.
Yeah, we also like them because they look absolutely ridiculous...and seriously, who gives away an alpaca? We do. The winner will receive a code that they can redeem on the Oxfam website, allowing them to donate an alpaca for free to a family in need. If you win, you can even gift that code to someone else, we just want it to be put to good use.
Here's how to enter:
- Follow the Gear Live Twitter account
- On Twitter, post this tweet about our contest: "Hey @gearlive hook me up with that ridiculous alpaca! http://gear.lv/e-alpaca" (Click here to tweet this now)
That's it! Remember, you've gotta have a Twitter account (they're free), and you've gotta be following the Gear Live Twitter account so that we can send you a DM if you're the winner. This one is only open to residents of the US. We will be announcing a winner on December 10, so you've got the rest of this week to qualify.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: SleepTracker Pro Elite
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wearables, Features, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
Worn like an everyday watch, SleepTracker Pro Elite is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for an extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily (see our original SleepTracker review.) That sounds like just about everyone, so we figured it was a good candidate for our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. SleepTracker may find multiple almost-awake moments within the sleep cycle. Almost-awake moments may also vary in frequency throughout the night. By monitoring your sleep cycles for optimal waking moments during the preset ALARM WINDOW, SleepTracker finds those almost awake-moments and gently wakes you when you're most alert. The result? You wake up refreshed instead of groggy.
You can pick up the SleepTracker Pro Elite for $175 on Amazon. There's a male version and a female version.
2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Zomm wireless smartphone leash
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Features, Wireless / WiFi, Family, Women, Men, Techies, Teens, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500
We've spent some time with the Zomm "wireless leash" and have come away impressed by the simplicity of the device, as it's one of those things that make you wonder why a product like it hasn't been available until now. With that, we thought it would be a good inclusion in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The Zomm can be attached to your keychain, and connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth. Once paired, it becomes your wireless alarm system for your phone. For example, if you walk away from your phone, Zomm will sound a notification alarm and start vibrating, letting you know that you've left your device more than 30 feet away. This way, you don't leave a restaurant without your phone, or spend forever looking for it because you left it in the car (or, that you are in your car driving and left your phone at home!) Cool enough, but it does more.
Zomm also has an integrated speaker and microphone, so it also acts as a hands-free calling device. If your phone rings, Zomm will ring as well, and you just press the Z button to take the call without having to fish around for your phone while driving. Zomm also has a built-in panic alarm. Hold down the Z button and the alarm will go off. Continue holding it, and the Zomm will use the Bluetooth connection to your phone to dial 911, and it will let you speak with the authorities right from the Zomm device. This is seriously a cool piece of technology that is a must-have for those people who constantly leave their smartphones behind in cabs and restaurants, or just anyone who wants an extra layer of security with them at all times. You can get a Zomm from Newegg for $79.99.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: 11-inch MacBook Air
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Women, Men, Techies
Apple's smallest notebook is the MacBook Air, and all signs are pointing to this being the best-selling Mac this holiday season, so we had to include it in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The 11-inch MacBook Air packs in speedy flash memory that is soldered directly onto the motherboard, resulting is lightning-fast performance. It also means no moving parts, so you get five hours of battery life from the tiny little wonder, and it even sports a full-sized keyboard, which we feel is a must (and is one of our main complaints with other netbooks.) The price starts at $999 from Apple, but hey, if you go with Amazon then its $994 with free shipping, and MacMall has them starting at $969--not bad for the most portable Mac out there.
2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250
The latest release of the Amazon Kindle, the company's ebook reader, seriously changed the game in the ereader world. It's thinner and lighter than any previous model, it packs in Wi-Fi for the first time, and it is much cheaper despite being the best Kindle they've made to date, and that's why we're adding it to our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. You can get the Wi-Fi model for just $139, or if you need the Wi-Fi + 3G model, that one goes for $189. Thing is, we'd bet that most anyone would do just fine with the Wi-Fi only model, and for $139, you get a cool gadget that book lovers will...uh...love! They're available in white and graphite colors, and we'd recommend picking on up sooner rather than later, because these are gonna be a hot one this year.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 digital camera
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cameras, Features, Family, Women, Men, Under $500
If you've got someone on your gift list that needs a new point-and-shoot camera that also takes great video, we'd like to recommend checking out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7. This is the point-and-shoot that we've been using for the past 8 months or so, and the quality is great. Video recordings look superb in high definition, recorded in AVCHD Lite. You've got a 25mm ultra wide-angle lens with 12x optical zoom, facial recognition, and other bells and whistles. What we love about this camera, though, is that it has GPS built-in to geotag your photos and videos automatically, on the fly, as you take them. The ZS7 retails for $349.95, but Amazon is currently selling them for just $257.82 - a savings of $92.13!

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Powermat Rechargeable Travel Mat
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, USB, Cell Phones, Misc. Tech, Women, Men, Techies, Under $100
We're big fans of what Powermat has to offer here at Gear Live HQ, and that's why we think it's appropriate to feature them in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. What you've got here is a little panel with a built-in battery pack that lets you wirelessly charge your mobile devices. It folds up and is small enough to throw in a bag, and won't take up much space at all on a desk. On a full charge, you can charge an iPhone five times. The Powermat Travel Mat comes with adapters that allow you to charge any USB device, Nintendo DS, a few proprietary phone connectors, and iOS devices. The cool part here is that you just set your device on the mat, and it starts charging.
They typically sell for $130, but Amazon's got 'em for $69 right now.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z280
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cameras, Features, Family, Women, Men, Under $250
Casio rocks it this year with the Exilim Zoom EX-Z280 digital camera, and we like it enough that we are recommending it in this years gift guide. It sports a dedicated Easy Mode, making it easy enough for pretty much anyone who enjoys pressing buttons to operate, while still maintaining the advanced features for more experienced pros, including ones that you don't typically find on budget-priced digital cameras. One such feature is mechanical (instead of digital) image stabilization, giving you nice clear shots while you stumble around during a holiday party after one-too-many eggnogs, as well as a 4x optical zoom lens. In addition, it shoots video in 720p, so it can even take the place of your Flip-style camcorder. You can grab one now for $173 on Amazon.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Kodak Zi8
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cameras, Handhelds, HDTV, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250
We love how inexpensive it's gotten for people to attain the ability to record high definition video, and we think this category is set to explode this holiday season. Based on this, and you know how much we love video, we've got to recommend the Kodak Zi8 handheld camera. Why? Well, the Kodak Zi8 records full 1080p HD video at 30 fps, and can also take 5 megapixel still images. It incorporates image stabilization as well, which helps avoid that whole Blair Witch shaky cam effect that none of us enjoy, and in a rare move, it even has a microphone jack so you can connect a nice, high quality audio device, if you so choose.
It's definitely a great value for such a small device that packs a nice punch. The Kodak Zi8 typically sells for $179, but you can find it on Amazon for a little less than that.
Honorable Mention:
Flip Mino: It isn't HD, but it's about $60 cheaper than the Kodak Zi8.

Constantine's Sword: It's the Patriarchy Stupid!
Sunday, August 12th, 2012I recently finished reading the book Constantine's Sword – The Church and the Jews, laying out the historical account of Christian antisemitism and how that seeded a ground of separation and hate that made the Holocaust possible, if not inevitable. The author, James Carroll, is a liberal Catholic theologian who feels that his Church has to fully acknowledge its culpability and atone for its sins for the institution to continue as a vibrant faith community into the 21st century. With a good narrative style that weaves together the key events in history along with his own life's story visiting the sites of much of that history, Carroll makes a compelling case for his religion to transform itself, simply stated, from an authoritarian to a more egalitarian institution. Some scholarly critics ding his book for relying on mostly secondary sources, sources that perhaps spin the history which Carroll then spins ever further, but his interpretation of that history certainly feeds in with my own.
His book nicely ties in with my own study of history and human civilization's gradual transition from hierarchies of control (empires, slavery, monarchies, feudalism, etc) toward circles of equals (republics, democracy, universal human rights, etc). But in particular, it reinforces my contention, laid out in a previous piece, that religious belief and practice is not the source of hatred, violence and war, but religion as an institution has been hijacked by an older more sinister dogma of patriarchy, that torques it into an instrument of domination and control, leading to that hatred, violence and war.
I am neither Jew nor Christian, nor believer in any deity. But as a student of history and the continuing story of human development, one cannot fully understand that history and that story without factoring in spiritual beliefs and practices, and the institutionalized religions that grow out of them. And particularly for those of us who champion the cause of progressivism, democracy, pluralism and the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, I think it is critical to realize what we are really fighting against. Not people's attempts to find a deeper spiritual meaning in their lives through religious practice, but instead an ancient paternalistic order, perpetuated through the millennia, that promotes a world view of fear, scarcity and "us and them" thinking that invariably leads to hate, violence and coercive control.
Please note, that like the author Carroll, it is not my goal to dis the Catholic Church or its hierarchy as some sort of conspiracy theory bogeyman for all the ills of society, though I'm concerned some may take my piece that way. But the authority wielded by a Church hierarchy as witnessed and documented by Carroll that has maintained itself consistently over 1500 years is a notable instance of a "successful" patriarchal institution that continues to perpetuate itself from generation to generation. There are many other ways that the patriarchal "who's your daddy?" world view propagates itself, but this perhaps is an instance that is most straightforward and easily recognized.

My Yampa Adventure
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009I'm not cut out to be a blogger. My typing is horrible and slow, and my writing skills and spelling are also sorely lacking. So that's my excuse for being such a procrastinator.
Excuses aside, I need to catch up this blog with a little news.
I got back from a week long raft trip down the Yampa river on back on June 5th. This was a fantastic trip and a very rare opportunity. I guess only 300 out of 9000 permit applications are approved to run the river each year. The Yampa river canyon is part of the Dinosaur National Monument and therefore is a tightly regulated wilderness area.
here is a quick log of the trip.
Photos from this trip are available at: Our Flickr Group
and at: My Picassa gallery
Day 0 5/30 – Spent driving to the Deer Lodge Park campground from Denver. We camped overnight and had a great meal of Steaks, Baked Potato, Corn on Cob, Cheese Cake and partied a little harder than we should've.
Day 1 5/31- Supposedly an easy float to Teepee Draw Campground. A surprise wave train dumped one of our duckies (Inflatable kayaks) and the rescue took a little longer than it should have. The swimmer was a little shaken, but all ended well. We landed and set up camp just in time to avoid a hail and rain storm.
Day 2 6/1 – Launched and ran Teepee rapid, a nice Class 2. We got surprised again in Little Joe Rapid and hit a pour-over strait on. Doh! No harm no foul though.
Landed at the beautiful Harding Hole Campsite. We set up camp below Wagon Wheel Point and took a hike up the Bull Canyon trail. That evening we were graced with some guitar and singing courtesy of Steven Barnhill.
Day 3 6/2- We stopped across the river from Wagon Wheel point to explore a cave with graffiti from the settlers and explorers in the 1920′s. We then headed downstream toward our appointment with the dreaded Warm Springs rapid. We stopped for lunch at the Mantle Ranch and took a quick hike to explore the Mantle Cave and it's Native american artifacts. As we launched after lunch storm clouds were gathering, letting us know not to be lulled into a false sense of security. Soon after going by by Tiger rock we hit a Down pour of rain and hail with strong upstream wind gust. It was quite a harrowing experience to land to scout the deadly Warm Springs rapids.
The Warm Springs rapid is true Class 4 rapid during high water with two recirculating holes that that will easily drown a swimmer or upend a sizable boat. You can scout the rapid from the scree field that was formed by the same flash flood that formed the rapid, this is no easy feat when wearing wet river sandal on wet jagged rock.
When our rafters returned from the scout the apprehension on every face was evident. It was decided that we would pack up the Duckies and their paddlers onto the bigger rafts. and that our most experienced rafter would lead and try to eddy-out below to rescue any swimmers. I rode with him.
As we launched into the rapids it was still in the midst of a thunderstorm with driving rain. it only took about 120 adrenaline filled seconds to run the rapid and our guide Hal pulled hard and was able to eddy us out below the second hole. While I held the boat Jason was able to grab some shakey video of some of the rest of our party running the rapid.
All the boats ran the rapid and were happy to put that water at their stern. We put in at the Box Elder campground and were all happy, tired and relieved as well as in need of warm dry clothes. Fajitas and tequila took the edge off an adventurous day.
Day 4 6/3 – I was able to get some great photos early before we set out on this day. This was mostly flat water as we joined the Green river at the beautiful Steamboat rock. I took over a ducky and had some fun on some wave trains. We put-in for lunch at the beautiful Jones hole campground and took a long hike up to butt crack falls. Butt crack falls is a small waterfall that you can block the water flow from above by sitting in the creek. and then someone can stand below as you "turn-on" the water. Great fun and we all smelled a little better after a natural shower. We the Hiked up another half mile to the jones hole Deluge shelter archeological site and photographed some pictographs and petroglyphs. After we hiked back down to the river we floated anther mile down to our assigned capsite which took some effort to land at due to a really strong back eddy. Another great day on the river and sadly our last evening.
Day 5 6/4 – The day started with a lazy float through Island Park. We landed for lunch at the Island Park put-in and were attacked by thick clouds of mosquitoes. We were diving for DEET but some of us were badly bit up before we got on repellent. We ate quickly and put out to attack Split Mountain Canyon. Split mountain seems to be just that, it is an truly impressive geological display of folded and cut sandstone and limestone strata. Oh and there aret wo or three class 2 and 3 rapids just to keep the afternoon interesting.
I rode in Hal's boat, not wanting to go swimming from a ducky.
We finally landed at the Split Mountain boat ramp to end the river portion of the trip. We shook hands and hugged and took photos and said good-bye to some of our party. A few of us decided that rather than drive the 400 miles back to Denver that we would stop at Pizza hut in Craig Colorado and then meet at a capground near Hayden ,Colorado.
Day 6ish 6/5 – drove back to Rob and Tina's place in evergreen, then unpacked my stuff from the boat and headed home to Golden.
It was a great trip with some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The first hurricane this year to threaten the U.S. Gulf Coast weakened early Monday but could still pack hurricane-strength winds and storm surges when it hits the shore overnight.
Warnings ahead of Hurricane Ida extended more than 200 miles across several states, although residents seemed to take the late-season storm in stride. Ida is the third hurricane of this year's Atlantic season, which ends Dec. 1. The first two stayed far out to sea.
There were no immediate plans for mandatory evacuations. But authorities in some coastal area were opening shelters and encouraging people who live near the water or in mobile homes to leave.
"Even though we're telling everybody to be prepared, my gut tells me it probably won't be that bad," said Steve Arndt, director of Bay Point Marina Co. in Panama City, Fla.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said top sustained winds from the Category 1 hurricane had decreased to near 80 mph around 7 a.m. EST from about 90 mph earlier Monday.
Hurricane warnings remained in effect from Pascagoula, Miss., east to Indian Pass, Fla. Tropical storm warnings and hurricane watches are in effect across neighboring areas including New Orleans. Forecasters said Ida could make landfall Monday night or early Tuesday.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency as a precaution, and the National Guard was on high alert if assistance was needed.
Earlier, heavy rain in Ida's wake triggered flooding and landslides in El Salvador that killed 124 people. One mudslide covered the town of Verapaz, about 30 miles outside the capital, San Salvador, before dawn Sunday.
Early Monday, Ida was located about 235 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River and moving north-northwest near 16 mph.
The latest storm track projection from the National Hurricane Center showed Ida brushing near Louisiana and Mississippi, then making landfall near Alabama before continuing across north Florida.
Officials were encouraging residents to prepare for potential gusts of 60 mph by removing tree limbs that could damage their homes and securing or bringing in any trash cans, grills, potted plants or patio furniture.
Residents of Pensacola Beach, Fla., and nearby Perdido Key were encouraged to leave, as were people farther inland who live in mobile homes, and school was canceled in the area Monday and Tuesday. Some schools around New Orleans also canceled classes for Monday.
Nearly 1,400 Louisiana residents are still living in federally issued trailers and mobile homes after hurricanes Katrina and Rita; nearly 360 units remained in Mississippi.
"FEMA stresses that those in temporary (housing) units should not take chances," Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman Andrew Thomas said. "Leave the unit behind and evacuate to a permanent structure that will better withstand tropical weather systems and the associated winds."
Mississippi authorities warned residents to be vigilant. Authorities were monitoring conditions to see whether any evacuations of lower-lying areas or school closures would be necessary.
"It is likely we will at least be hit with strong winds and some flooding in our coastal counties," said Jeff Rent, a spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. Officials "do not want anybody to be caught off guard."
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency Director Mike Womack said forecasts called for tides of 4-7 feet above normal and rainfall totals of 5-7 inches within 24 hours, which could mean flooding along the coasts and along rivers.
There were no mandatory evacuations in Alabama, but schools were closed in Baldwin County on the eastern side of Mobile Bay, and the county was opening a shelter.
In the Florida Panhandle, residents in Bay County and Panama City were being advised to secure boats and prepare for storm surges that could reach 2-3 feet. Heavy rain, wind and possible flooding was also expected.
"You really don't know until it gets close how you're going to be affected by it," said Brad Monroe, Bay County's deputy chief of emergency services.
Ida wasn't expected to pack the wallop seen in 2008 when hurricanes Gustav and Ike pelted the Gulf Coast back-to-back.
On Sunday, Ida's wind and rain whipped palm trees in the Mexican resort city of Cancun. Fishermen tied their boats down, though tourists seemed to regard it as a minor setback.
"It's not what we expected," said Kathleen Weisser, a nurse from Fernley, Nev. "We wanted sun. Instead we have liquid sunshine."

Connoisseurs Choice:Kinclaith distillery
Hello from Scotland, Mouth wateringly good forum you have here!!
I have recently been clearing out the in laws house and came across a few bottles of whisky. The above being one I'd never heard of, I have googled with mixed results and thought I'd share my find Apparently I cannot post pics? Oh well... What I have is a bottle of the above from Gordon & Macphail, It's a lowland malt distilled in 67 and bottled in 91. It comes in a cream box, though the box is slightly damaged. I'll be happy to post pics, along with the other bottles which consist of a Chivas Regal 12 year old with alcohol content in proof. A bottle of Johnnie Walker black label extra special, boxed. A bottle of Southern Comfort, first bought when it hit these shores apparently. All have been stored/lost for approximately 15-20 years... I shall now peruse the forum with mouth agape, drooling incessantly...Homer stylee |
I found one mention of Kinclaith in the 2013 version of The Whisky Bible by Jim Murray.
Kinclaith operated from 1957 to 1975 as a Lowland producer. Its listed as 'closed/dimolished' by Mr. Murray. From Wikipedia : 'The Kinclaith was the last Malt whisky still built in Glasgow,[1] within the Strathclyde Grain distillery complex, in 1958.[2] The Kinclaith distillery was closed in 1975.[3]' Given the short life span the whisky's are rather rare and are more a collectors item!

Thanks for that, having only just found them I'm still gathering info, little as there is so far!

Existing contracts will be honoured but proposal of 58.8 cents/kilowatt hour for new entrants deemed more realistic
an online visitor replied on Permalink
proposed rate change petition site, we can use your help.
Recently the OPA has announced a proposed rate change for ground-mounted solar systems, effectively reducing the microFIT contract rate from 80.2c/kWh to 58.8c/kWh, a 27% decrease. They have based this change on the claim that ground-mounted systems are cheaper to install than roof mounted systems and therefore produce an unreasonable rate of return. Based on industry experience and information provided by installers and consumers this claim is clearly incorrect.
Within the same News release the OPA states, "The microFIT Program is designed to encourage home owners, farmers, small businesses and institutions to develop small renewable energy generation projects of 10 kilowatts or less". Based on the OPA conference call on July 6th it is estimated that 10,000-11,000 of the received 16,000 applications are for ground-mount systems, which means nearly 70% of all applicants will be affected by this proposed rate change. As if a rate change was not bad enough, the applicants who in good faith applied for contracts as far back as January are going to be retroactively affected by the change should it be adopted.
The OPA's proposed rate change has already sent ripples of uncertainty and disappointment through the industry, with the real damage yet to be done. This rate change will cripple the industry before it has even gotten off the ground. Fewer ground mount systems will be sold, and public trust in the integrity of the program will be lost if we do not act now.
The premise of the FIT and microFIT programs was to create green jobs in the sales, installation and manufacturing sectors. That call was answered, product was designed and fabricators have tooled up, and now with the rate change it looks like it may have all been for naught. The OPA has described this up and down rollercoaster as "the growing pains of a new industry". For those who have invested their life savings, built businesses and endeavored to develop new products in Ontario this is much more than "growing pains", these are crippling and quite possibly bankrupting blows.
The ultimate reliability and integrity of the FIT program now hangs in the balance of this final decision by the OPA.
This website and petition has been launched to help unify our voice with those who may be affected by this rate change. The intention is to show the OPA in a clear succinct manner what impact their decision will have, and why it is so important to leave the rates unchanged for all microFIT projects.
Please help us and our industry get back on track by signing our Petition and helping build our case to the OPA.

but what about the consumer?
At no point in your message did you consider the welfare of energy consumers who would, for 20 years, be forced to pay the extremely-high price premiums for solar-generated electricity.
It's the solar industry's complete lack of concern for the ultimate customer, which ultimately, and deservedly, sealed their fate.

Very confused
I hve been a renewable energy dealer for 11 years. Lived offgrid on my farm for 16 years. I had been long awaiting something like the Green Energy Act after being disappointed year after year. I tough we finally nailed it. Well I guess not after the last weeks events.
I invested a fair bit of time and energy researching the best solution for my customers, kept the prices down and the production up to attract a lot of business. I estimated up to 3 million in sales. In one day it all went away. I am not certain of the future either. The announcement and the OK to start came out to late to start before winter so I planned for a spring start. My first project is in the ground now and will be completed shortly and will enjoy the 80.2 cent offering. The rest that were awaiting approvals have pulled out. Pretty much everything is on hold now for a month. When things get going again we have been told approvals will be done in 60 days. After the recent events I would not order a system or take any ones money to do so until a contract is secured. This will take us into September. Then the components will need to be ordered and installed. Currently the OPA has 1600 applicants in the system. There is no way on Gods Green earth that they will be inspected before year end when the content rules require 60% Ontario content. This is compounded by module suppliers and manufacturers requiring projections to secure modules. In this climate are you kidding?!Projections?! A question was came up on the Tuesday webinar and the OPA was asked if the roof top price could be guaranteed. There was silence and the answer was NO.
I really think the problem here is there has been opposition in the media by those who prefer things to go on as the have. Overpriced nukes and deaths and health costs due to burning coal to continue as they have. The program is being run by politicians and bureaucrats who are concerned about their jobs and haven't a clue about running a business. That 80.2 cents was a figure that small businesses like mine, larger ones that were going to relocate and provide materials for the Ontario content and the people who were going to invest in these systems. We all need to know what the numbers are and where they can go before proceeding. That is how business works. Banks won't loan money on uncertainty either. One of the pillars of the Green Energy Act was job creation. With the uncertainty going on no-one in their right mind will go ahead with investing in this initiative and I think other types of investors will take this as a sign that Ontario is not a good place to invest. Just on the announcement and listening to the OPA webinars I estimate we have lost $5 million in lost business and investments and an incalculable amount of job loss.
The main argument now is some of us got too good at doing our jobs and pushed the ROI too high. I have some problems with this train of thought. First, this is a free country and last I heard we are entitled to work smart and hard and get rewarded for it. No government agency has any business in getting in the way of that.
Second, I have always been told not to be wasteful of our resources. In this case it is the sun and the solar modules. Do they really wan me to mount them in an inferior way to collect better rates? Perhaps I can get a buck a KW mounting them facing north.
The most troubling point for me however is the fact that the Ontario Government inked a multibillion dollar deal with Samsung. A large company like that would have a secure idea of what their figures are before signing any deal. It is a disgrace the citizens of Ontario that decided to invest in all aspects of this technology are not afforded the same assurances with some losing their shirts.
Even more disgraceful are those who helped all this happen by lobbying against Ontario citizens who had the foresight and ingenuity to make a buck.

Wait a minute, my friend
If I understood your posting, you appeared to have been ordering systems, and taking people's money, before these people had a signed contract with OPA.
Why would you, or your customer(s), be crazy enough to do that, especially when there is no other buyer for the electricity to be generated?
Why would your banker, or your customers bankers, be crazy enough to lend money, even to get started, without a signed contract?
Strangely, you go on to comment about "working smart", yet your apparent business practices of proceeding without any sort of contractual safety net, appear to be anything but smart.
I really find it hard to have any sympathy for your position - you took big risks by anticipating something that didn't happen, and lost.

lost business
I lost 1.5 million in possible contracts, it hurts. With 460 systems installed and running out of 4000 conditionals, this just isn't enough business to support the 300 companies installing in Ontario. They say that these systems are in the process of being installed. If you figure; if they started releasing in Oct. last year that is 10 months, that means 400/month. If most are rooftop it is my experience to install a system in one or two days and get a meter in one week.If 50% of the conditional offers are going ahead then there should be 1800 systems in and running. We are at about 11% installed. If we bring that to the 16000 applications we are looking at 1760 of these going ahead. Since a lot of these will be going into next year with the Ontario content rules I would imagine less. Just imagine if the tariff drop takes effect I bet this number drops to below 1000 installed and running microFIT'S by the end of the year. How do you spell successful.
an online visitor replied on Permalink
lost business - 30 million
I bet this number drops to below 100 installed! You are just to optimistic, like the 16000 applicants.
Who have a 5year experience in this tracker systems in Ontario? Everything is just build on paper!
We just lost a total of 6MW roof top contracts, the investors pulled out. What happen to microFIT can happen any day to the FIT too.
Every insider knows, to install 1 kWp on a 250 kW roof, will cost far less, then 1 kWp on a 10kWp ground mounted.
30 million investment down the train.
Thanks to OPA you are doing a great job for your ratepayer!
Thank you Dalton McGuinty, the leader in renewable energy!

you missed a step in your analysis
At 80 cents, and even now, at 58 cents, the government is doing a terrible job on behalf of the taxpayers of Ontario.
In addition, you've got the investment analysis backwards. It's not $30 million down the drain if the investment is never made, and furthermore, making no investment at all is better public policy than making a bad investment, especially one which pays people 80 cents to produce power that gets sold at 8.
The OPA did entirely the right thing by shutting down this 20 year millstone for Ontario energy consumers - now all we need to do is get the price reduced again to about 20 cents.

making no investment at all is better public policy
you are totally right, I missed a important part.
This investors will invest there money now at better place.
But why is than the Ontario Government begging in the whole world for investors?

OPA microFit Rate Reduction
My previous comment was incorrect about claimed cost of roof vs ground mount systems. Sorry for error but I was still agitated over this whole fiasco while writing it up. Can administrators edit this paragraph out and post corrected version below?
After listening to both webcasts from OPA, it is clear that the microFIT architects DO NOT want, what they refer to as, 'the excessive rate of return' that is achievable from the ground based PV systems. They are quite adamant about this. They are slowly realizing that the claim of ground PV systems being cheaper than roof types is not supportable. Today's broadcast seemed to dwell less on the installation cost and more on the 'rate of return' portion of the argument. Any correspondence to MPP's must address this. I see no reason why larger rate of returns should be deemed so bad, after all we are selling KWHr units of power, nothing else. Does anyone know of any other government subsidized initiatives that do not impose an inverse relationship between payout vs efficiency of production? The intent here would be to convince the Ontario government that the more KWHr I generate and deliver to the grid (to meet current and future energy needs), then the more one would should get paid. If a precedent can be found to support the idea that the more you make the more you get paid, then this notion of 'excessive rate of return' can be dispensed with altogether.
Also to address the issue of installation costs of ground PV systems, another factor that adds to the cost is the fact that I do not have access to a 220 volt grid tie in connection that would normally be available at a residential rooftop. My system is to reside in an open field quite some distance from any dwelling. There is a high tension overhead hydro line that will require the purchase, at my expense, of a step up transformer that will match my 220 volt AC inverter output to the higher voltage hydro line. These transformers aren't cheap. So yet again here is evidence that contradicts the OPA claim.

Green Unemployment
The reasons Brad Duguid cited for the rate decrease are completely
contrary to fact! Ask any informed Solar Sales Professional like myself.So what is the real reason? Are we just now to wait for a neneg on rooftop system rates as well? When this fledgling industry turns its focus on that as our only means a viable sale. This destroys all credibility this program NEVER had! Last month I lost a sale of 2 trackers worth over $250 000 due to the simple fact they couldn't trust the government. Now I understand You can only trust the government to screw up and reneg on any and all "guaranteed"
promises.I had to laugh at the new rate schedule on the OPA's site
that has refers to "guaranteed" and "proposed" rates.What I know for sure is it's "proposed" that I'm out of my green job,and pretty much "guaranteed" I won't find another one in the Province selling and installing solar trackers.

Has anyone considered that the price of the solar installations will come down with this announcement? From what I understand everyone from those who made the solar components to those who were going to be installing them were set to make money hand over fist. Since energy producers were set to make good money, nobody cared.
Also for those who are slamming the 80 cent price as being outrageous (namely the "you were all too greedy" guy) remember that Ontario has to buy power from the U.S. or Quebec during summer months to meet demand. This cost can range from $1.20 to $1.80 per KWh. Seeing that solar pumps out most of it's production on hot summer days there may be some economic sense here.
Solar is far from dead yet.

Solar is too dead to even rate an obituary
80 cents is completely outrageous, and always was. 58 cents is almost as bad. Right from the outset, solar was a scam designed to make people ignore not just the cost to the consumer, but also:
(A) the basic economic principle that it's always bad to invest in something completely dependent on favourable legislation for its very existence, and
(B) the basic business principle that dealing with only one buyer is always bad.
Investors in solar weren't just greedy, they were blind as well.

business plan
Be careful what you say about a business plan being faulty if it depends on government legislation to make it work.....isn't that the saving grace of supply management in Canada? Hope you're not a dairy or chicken farmer.
an online visitor replied on Permalink
Being 110% dependent on government legislation, isn't so much the saving grace of supply management, but the curse of supply management. Supply management is, therefore, exactly like solar in that the rules can change anytime without the players being notified in advance. This sudden change in the rules for solar should be a wake-up call for supply management, and anyone else dependent on legislation for their business existence.

I would suggest that nobody bail on this project yet. OPA needs to honour all applications at 80.2 cents/kw up to the announcement on July 2 and they need to do this quickly. That is absolutely the only fair way. I understand OPA planned for 100,000 total applications - if this is so then 16% at the higher rate will not be a factor. Do they want power or not?
OPA is proposing biomass to replace coal at Nanticoke and Lambton GS by 2014 (or shut them down)- their credibility in the farming community just hit zero. Maybe they are relying on biomass from all the urban gardens and greenroofs on new buildings.
My application was filed March 16 and I have not heard didley - my wife reminds constantly me about government promises.

You were all too greedy
Why should anyone have thought, even for an instant, that paying 80 cents to produce something that eventually gets sold at retail for a fraction of that, was, or could ever be, a wise thing to invest money in?
This whole story is a classic example of the greater-fool theory. It's debatable whether the government is the greater fool for offering 80 cents in the first place, or whether it's those people, including farmers, who thought this bubble could, or would, last long enough to recoup their investment.
Anyone who invests in anything completely dependent on legislation for success, rather than sound economics, is a fool by first principles, and now we're finally seeing the evidence of the wisdom of that adage.

30 days to voice your opinion
Just thought people should know about the following from John Wilkenson MPP and Minister of Revenue for the Ontario Liberals.
This is from his Office (Perth-Wellington):
As announced, the OPA is taking feedback on the newly proposed 'ground-mount category' -and its proposed price of 58.8 cents/kWh- for 30 days. Mr. Wilkinson continues to work on this issue, he's asked that you be aware of any opportunity to participate in the public consultation.
Before the 'clock' on consultation commences, OPA will holding two online MicroFIT information sessions on July 6 and July 8 from 2pm to 4pm.
The web links to view and listen to the sessions over the Internet are;
July 6 http://www.snwebcastcenter.com/event/?event_id=967
July 8 http://www.snwebcastcenter.com/event/?event_id=975.
To participate in the sessions, call:1.866.212.9078
You will be able to both view and listen to the presentation through the web links. Questions will be taken via telephone only
Following these sessions, the 30 day consultation period will commence.
Comments on the proposed category and price can be sent to: firstname.lastname@example.com
More information can also be found at:
John is strongly encouraging individuals both to participate in the information sessions and to provide their feedback to the appropriate contact.

Poor Preparation From a Poor Governement
I put in for a microfit project February 4th and have been waiting patiently. To have this happen at this late date is extremely disappointing.
I concur with the theorist above... They must have had a set budget and realized that that they'd blow it if they offered 16 000 people 80cents. So they changed the rules to still be able to offer everyone the chance to participate.
The Gov't benefits because more power/hype is created for the same money.

Just what are the savings to the Government?
Here is a point I have not seen elsewhere. Suppose that 16,000 people were putting in tracking systems and (at 80.2) each got paid $15,000 per year. This is $240 million. By reducing the payment to 58.8 they reduce this payment to $176 million, an apparent saving of $64 million per year. It seems like a lot to a taxpayer like me but there are two considerations. First, the Ontario budget for 2010 is $92 Billion. So $64 million is 0.07 %. In other words, relative to other expenditures, not a hill of beans. The second point, and this is one that has been made by farmers for decades, is that it ignores the spin-offs. Many people will pay income tax on their payouts. That money goes straight back to the government. Contractors will purchase goods (can you say HST? I knew you could!), hire staff (and pay CPP, EI, WSIB which go you know where). Solar manufacturers in Ontario would pay taxes and hire staff. You get the idea. I had dreamt of Ontario becoming a world leader in solar after the OPA and government had wisely primed the pump. Now they have poisoned the whole Ontario solar business place. As you can estimate from the above, they likely haven't even saved any money, and they have lost the trust of investors. Those who asked, "But can you trust the government?", have their answer, again.

Total Future of solar industry in Limbo
Hello, it is with regret I here about the reduced rate paid on a ground mount solar system.
It unfortunately is not economically fesiable to participate now. I will now explain why.
I currently have 100,000 in GIC's. In 1 year bank of Canada rates will rise.(already anounced)
I will be guaranteed to recieve 5 %. If I decide to pull out 10,000/year(the same return I would expect on a ground mount paying the new proposed rate), My 10,000/year withdrawal will last me 15 years. I will only pay income tax on the interest income, and never have to worry about fututre malfunctions, etc. If a person like myself is in a position to buy one outright(with no financing) it will make no sense to a banker to lend on the new proposed pay rates. Please note, Bank of Canada rates are proposed to rise 4 % by the fall of 2012. Thank You. JC

MicroFIT Fiasco.
My husband and I have a signed contract for a 10kw MicroFIT system and our OPA application was put in on March 17th. As with many others, we spent countless hours researching and interviewing contractors and arranging financing. We struggled with insurance issues that resulted in our changing to another company after 33 years and had been waiting for our conditional offer for over 15 weeks. At the time we applied we were told that it would be a little longer than 30 days for our conditional offer to arrive. At the time we arranged for financing we were able to get a very good rate that was guaranteed for 120 days, which takes us to July 28th. For the last few weeks we have been eagerly awaiting our conditional offer and looking forward to getting started with our project as our contractor informed us that one of his other clients had received his conditional offer in early June and his application had been made on March 18th. At that point we expected to hear any day. We now understand why we did not, the OPA obviously had virtually stopped issuing conditional offers some time ago. We recently tried several times to get in touch with them regarding our submission and were responded to with generic form messages. Their 1-800 telephone number is a call centre that has no information and they were not willing to put us in touch with anyone else.
This was to be a huge investment for us in excess of $105,000.00 for what we thought seemed like a great program, a win win situation that would create clean energy while stimulating the Ontario economy. We can understand that the OPA might need to review pricing but to do so after having so many people waiting for so long and not honour the pricing to those who have had an application in for months is just wrong. There is no way that we will go ahead now with this new pricing as it no longer makes financial sense for us. For those such as Brad Duguid, our Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, who stated in a recent article that the rate of return for a ground mounted project is 30% to 40% let us assure you taking everything in to consideration it is not. The reality in our case as it is for many is approx. 14.5%. Here is the math, cost of good quality well installed dual tracking system $105,000.00, 5.7% interest over 20 years approximately $70,000.00, maintenance over 20 years approximately $9,000.00, insurance over 20 years approximately $10,000.00 and a modest extended warrantee package approximately $6000,00 all for a grand total of approximately $200,000.00. The revenue generated from this particular system is approximately $292,500.00 for the 20 year period which translates into the rate of return of approximately 14.5%. At 58.8 cents/kilowatt hour we would be without profit and losing close to $13,000.00.
Knowing that many of the conditional offers that have already been made will never reach fruition is also very frustrating for people like us who already have signed contracts and are ready to go. With the conditional offers allowing for up to one year to complete installation it will be quite some before it is known how many installations will actually take place. In the meantime it seems to us that people who have the space available for ground mounted systems are being penalized where as the roof mounted systems will find themselves on industrial building rooftops in cities across the province. It looks like the small guy loses out again and the businesses win. From what we have heard, one of the grocery chains should be enjoying their MicroFIT installations on over 120 stores at 80.2 cents/kilowatt hour before long.
We would be very interested in knowing of anyone else who might have an application that was made after March 17th and that has received a conditional offer.
The OPA should have made the new pricing effective for any new applications or at very least should consider granting at 80.2 cents/kilowatt hour those applications that can provide proof of a signed contract given the length of time, effort and dollars that it takes to reach that stage. In our case the 30 day comment period will take us beyond our guaranteed financing rate and that will change things for us even if approved at 80.2 cents/kilowatt hour.

Farmers are getting ripped off...solar gets a black eye, again
This is another example of the government waffling on the MicroFIT program, which only proves to potential investors (both in manufacturing operations and also in projects themselves) that this is a bad place to invest.
Launch a program, stick with it, and do your homework ahead of time rather than wait for the applications to flood in to prove what everyone in this fledgling industry knew from day 1 -- that ground mount MicroFIT's would be the obvious winners and the best use of investment capital.
Not only does the OPA's tariff reduction reduce 20 year power payments by $750-million, but it largely hits the farming community where such payments are so badly required.
It's absurd to think that a quasi-government entity knows full well how consumers can get the best return on their investment dollars, and then purposely knocks this option off the list of potential investments.
Welcome to Ontario -- the land of the inefficient hunt for solar energy.
It's time to tell the OPA that we need a stable program that offers a reasonable return, and a return that takes into account the true costs of going solar and not just the big numbers found on marketing materials.

microFIT payment reduction
My wife and I applied for a 10 KW system on March 4. How could it take so long to approve since all we are waiting for is a conditional offer? Now the answer is clear. OPA has been just sitting on applications. More math: How long does it take to approve an application? OPA must check that you are a Hydro customer. That's about it. Let's be kind and allow them a whole hour to do this. 16,000 applicants at one hour each is, let me see, 16,000 hours =2000 person days. Put a few people on it and a couple of months is plenty. We applied in good faith, formed a business, cleared some land, checked on the insurance situation, spoke for a couple of hours with a contractor, talked with the bank... All wasted time because at 58.8 we are walking away. I applauded the microFIT initiative but this latest nonsense and the arbitrary removal of my rights at the G20 mean that my vote will not be for McGuinty in the next election...

Tariff changes
This is a sad day for the microFIT program
Being a solar installer and being at the grass roots of what is going on here I believe its not the cheap price of a tracker that is the problem. Look at the figures yourself.
Rooftop 40%
PPW return ROI % yearly total after cost
5.76 $10,343.3 6.15 16.26 $206,860.62 $143,252.30
Rooftop 60%
PPW return ROI % yearly total after cost
7.45 $11,155.77 7.47 13.39 $223,115.77 $139,808.56
Tracker 40%
PPW return ROI % yearly total after cost
8.71 $14,623.75 6.58 15.21 $292,475.00 $196,318.43
Tracker 60%
PPW return ROI % yearly total after cost
12 $15,165.02 8.5 11.76 $303,300.41 $174,324.22
PPW= price per watt
Do the math; the trackers are actually less return on investment. The difference is that it maximizes the sunlight during the day to make up for its larger cost.
I do believe what is going on is politics.
During the months between the release of the Green Energy Act and the first contract offering the OPA said this would not work without the infusion of 60 billion dollars to upgrade the power lines to allow for the extra generation. The fact is that microFIT reduces the load on the system by producing the power where it is needed, reducing loss in the transportation of the power from the Nuclear, Coal or Hydro facility.
Hydro One was also opposed saying it will not work.
One year latter we have some Hydro companies charging nothing for the service of disconnect and reconnect and meter change. Hydro One is charging $1350.00 for the same service. Niagara Peninsula Energy had a meter in place the same day as the ESA inspection. Hydro One has been telling people that it can take up to 6 months for a meter placement.
I believe our representatives have been once again given poor information by the powers that be in an effort to fulfill their own prophesies.
What will this do to the microFIT program?
During the Cansia conference back in Dec 2009, the one thing that industry asked for was a stable program, one where the rules did not change in mid stream. The reason that this was so important was so that businesses could plan their business strategies with no surprises. This way companies could come to Ontario, open factories and hire skilled labour in order to boost our manufacturing base here in Ontario. In order to make sure that this would happen, the Ontario Government made an Ontario Content Rule of 40% until Jan 1st 2011 and then 60% Ontario content after that. In the months since the first contract offering companies have been slow to come to Ontario for fear that the government may change the rules.
Here we are July 2 2010, Friday at 3:00pm on a holiday weekend the OPA releases the NEWS of the price change.
How is this self fulfilling prophecy?
The OPA contract stipulates that if the meter is not in place by Jan 1 2011 that the system will require 60% content up from the required 40% content for the first year.
Since the beginning of this year the OPA has been dangling its feet in regards to releasing contracts. Being that Ontario Hydro says 6 months to have a meter placed and because the OPA has not been releasing very many conditional contracts, there are a lot of companies getting very nervous since they stocked up on imported parts. What happens when supply gets large and there is no demand? Prices go down. The few contracts the OPA has released have had many companies bidding on the few systems and the company that wins is the one that "just want to get a system in place and will almost give it away to do so. Yes again, prices go down.
As a retailer and installer, one thing we hear from our potential customers is, I won't invest in anything the government has their hand in because "I can't trust them". They will change the rules and I'll lose large. In fact once a contract is in place it is a contract and it cannot be broken so if you are in you are OK, there is nothing to worry about. What it does do is affect consumer confidence.
In fact it doesn't really matter to me whether the price is 80 cents or 58 cents per KWH, it is what it is. Even at 58 cents it is still a good investment. The problem lies in the damage that just the announcement will do and I'm sure has done already. Scaring away potential customers is one thing, the damage done to the companies looking to invest in the Ontario market means a loss of all those jobs that were promised. What companies are going to invest millions of dollars in an atmosphere of government distrust? If they changed the rules once who says they won't change it again. How can you build a business plan on that.

A better idea
I've got a better idea.........let's just cancel the whole program. Ontario business's can't afford higher hydro costs associated with solar power (6.5cents/KWH vs 80cents/KWH). Conserving the energy available now won't cost the taxpayer/hydro user near as much. How many jobs will higher hydro rates cost us?

OPA Contract change
In addition to Mr. Holtls' comments I would just like to add that I have attended 4 meetings held by OMAFRA in the last few months that were designed to inform potential MicroFIT project holders of the basics of the program. Not once was there a representative from OPA in attendance. They were invited and even on the agenda but no one showed. There were over 200 at the Clinton Meeting and subsequent meetings had close to 80 each time, It became a standing joke when OPA didn't appear. Make what you want of that.
The program should have been researched in order to get an idea of the potential interest. This seems to have been off the mark as well.
There is more to this than meets the eye. Not a fan of conspiracy theories I hesitate to submit that perhaps the real reason that the rate has been reduced is that the Industry has done such a good job of designing and offering really efficient Tracking Systems, Inverters and panels that the output of these optimized systems exceeds the amount that the OPA expected. Using the Natural Resources website software (Retscreen) the payback on an optimized Tracking System can approach 6 years, far sooner than a roof top system. This I believe is the real reason that the OPA is running scared. They would simply have to pay out more money based on 80.2 cents per kWh.
Mention was made some time ago that the Standard Offer of 80.2 was not going to be subsidized or be provided off the back of the Hydro rate payer. We know how the financial game can be played when you take from Peter to pay Paul after all the OPA, Ontario Energy Board, and such are the provincial government after all.
I expect that over the next month much will be said justifying the rate change but let us not loose the focus on the fact that this change is like a child who invents a game in the schoolyard and when things don't go his way, changes the rules in order to win!
Thanks OPA for pulling the Rug Out from Ontarian s'.

Don't do it
At 80 cents the math worked to make the risk associated with the program reasonable. At 58 cents, the incentive is not there and I can promise you, you will lose your shirts if you sign on to this program. I am a science and business teacher, and had applied for 5 microFit set ups, but will not even think about it now.

I don't belive it,
I considered flipping money out of GIC,s for a 95,000 system. Made perfect sense to me. Now it is nonsense. Let me explain. Bank rates are going to rise. 5% return on a 5 year GIC is a given. If I take 10,000 per year out of my investment, I will have an income stream for 15 years!!! Minimal Income Tax, no worries, The People that made this dission NEED THEIR HEADS READ. If it's not feasable if your have the cash to put up a ground mount, Why on earth would a lender allow anyone access to funds????????????????? The entire program is doomed before it got off the ground. JC.

I'm so glad I did not 120k
I'm so glad I did not 120k in chinese panels last winter. I would be selling them on Craigslist right now and trying to break even I am shocked the government didn't just put a hold on all applications last February/march. I would not have invested the other 60k in March. Since they strung everyone along for so long, Could they be held legally for this? Everyone bought and geared up for the "New green economy" new jobs in manufacturing replacing our auto manufacturing economy. win win for everyone. Less pollution for our kids, using only 5 years to payback the energy to create the system, and 15 to 30 years surplus output. What does the tarsands give us? with renewed hope for mankind financed by next nuclear plant not being built. I don't think they educated the public on that. they thought we were making money off the taxpayer and we were causing their hydro bill to go up. I listened to the webcast, have 60k in land that I'm going to sell at a small loss (I hope). And I have 10k in mounting Hardware I'm stuck with. Opa now wants everyone to sign up for the new rate so they can say it's fair enough. The truth is it is not for a depreciating asset. What their going to get is the companies that are stuck with chinese materials dumping to keep their heads above water and to recoup some cash before the 40% rule is over. The government will say "see, I told you It was good enough!"
Do you think I'm going to go ahead with this? Not one more dime. I would have $300-$600 for each 100k invested-if the sun shines. now it's a break even. Sorry but with most people around not giving a care about tomorrow and looking out for themselves only. who put me up to change the world by myself? I have to feel for those heroes who went on faith and invested in new technology equipment parts.

microFIT rate change
The legal basis for a class-action law suit is 'reasonable expectation' and it applies specifically to cases like this where the government has set up the rules of the game which you followed in good faith and then had the rug pulled out from underneath you.

Did you mean?
Hi. Having returned twice to Hillside Beachclub in Fethiye, we wonder about September 2014, trying a smaller hotel experience, perhaps Kalkan Regency in Kalkan. We would take two weeks hopefully combining a few days gulet cruise. We are attracted to Kalkan because one of our favourite places is Fiscardo in Kefalonia, and we are told Kalkan is similar? I would like to ask re. Restaurants in Kalkan, are the food options varied enough for 2 weeks? Secondly, if we select the Kalkan Regency, we have free access to Mahal Beachclub. As we have not used a beachclub before, could you tell me what to expect? Thanks.
Is it safe to travel in Antalya at night? Is it safe for a woman to travel alone and catch a taxi (at night) in airport to a local spot and vice-versa? Are the prices tabulated/ fixed or it changed by the taxi driver?Thank you
What is the name of the mosque in Antalya with the four minarets? I think it is the same one I have a photograph of which is featured on a Trekearth website trekearth.com/gallery/Middle...

Gospel Art Picture Kit
President of the Church, 1830–1844
On a spring morning in 1820, God the Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to answer the prayer of the 14-year-old Joseph, who recorded: "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. … When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!" (Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17).
So great was his mission that holy prophets foresaw his ministry thousands of years before his birth. Joseph of Egypt prophesied: "A seer shall the Lord my God raise up, who shall be a choice seer. … Behold, that seer will the Lord bless; and they that seek to destroy him shall be confounded. … And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after the name of his father" (2 Nephi 3:6, 14–15).
"Happiness," Joseph Smith taught, "is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God" (History of the Church, 5:134–35).
After the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, Elder John Taylor was inspired to testify, "Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it" (D&C 135:3).
Joseph Smith was chosen in the premortal existence to translate the Book of Mormon and to organize The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The work that he did while he was alive was so great that prophets long ago knew who he was, knew what his name would be, and knew what he would do. Men who helped Joseph Smith with his work testified that he had done more for the people on this earth than anyone other than Jesus Christ.
