Biofuels Take Off
KLM and Lufthansa say they'll burn bio-based jet fuel on regular routes.
Last week, for the first time, a jumbo jet used a blend of biofuel and kerosene on a transatlantic flight. Also last week, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines announced a biofuel supply agreement to commence regular flights on a biofuel-petroleum blend on 200 Amsterdam-to-Paris runs starting in September. Lufthansa could beat it by a month under previously announced plans to launch a six-month test on Frankfurt-Hamburg flights.
Such regularly scheduled operations mark a big jump from the one-off biofuels flights that airlines have conducted since 2009. Aviation and biofuels sources say this indicates that biofuel-based jet fuels are ready to be scaled up. Amy Bann, director of environmental policy for Boeing's commercial airplanes division, says the KLM and Lufthansa announcements "signal to governments, fuel processors, and the financial community that the demand and market for these fuels exist."
Pressure to cap and ultimately reduce greenhouse-gas emissions is driving the developments. The European Commission is making flights within, into, and out of Europe subject to its carbon-trading scheme starting in 2012—a move that will cost the aviation industry an estimated €1.4 billion ($2 billion) next year and about €7 billion by 2020, according to a March 2011 report by Oslo-based consultancy Thomson Reuters Point Carbon.
Environmental groups say biofuels make sense for aviation, since they are the sector's only alternative to petroleum. "You're not going to have electric airplanes," says Kate McMahon, biofuels campaign coordinator for Washington-based Friends of the Earth.
What has enabled aviation biofuels to shift to limited commercial service is the certification earlier this month of biofuels derived from animal and vegetable oils by standards body ASTM International. The provisional approval, to be finalized by August, covers aviation biofuels produced from oils via hydroprocessing—a catalytic process used in petroleum refining.
Hydroprocessed oil from camelina, a biofuels crop, powered Boeing's historic transatlantic flight last week (the flight was also the first in which all four engines of a commercial aircraft were flown on a biofuel blend). Camelina can be grown on wheat fields during periods when the fields would otherwise be left fallow, and thus shouldn't drive up food prices. And because the crop can be grown on existing fields, it can also avoid undesirable land use changes, such as the deforestation associated with palm oil cultivation in Southeast Asia.
KLM and Lufthansa also plan to use hydroprocessed oils as their biofuel source. KLM's will be produced from waste cooking oil by Dynamic Fuels, the Geismar, Louisiana-based joint venture of Tyson Foods and process developer Syntroleum. Finnish refiner Neste Oil will supply Lufthansa's biofuel blend by hydroprocessing oils from an as-yet-undisclosed feedstock that Lufthansa says will be "sustainable."

Santa makes a list and checks it twice.
But I say those who are watching their Christmas budgets make a spreadsheet and check it repeatedly!
My Christmas spreadsheet has the names of people we intend to buy gifts for, in addition to related expenses such as greeting cards, postage, cookie swap supplies and the ticket cost for shows or events. The spreadsheet includes the amount we have in mind for each person's gift and a total that we don't want to go over.
After each purchase, I update the file with the actual amount spent. The spreadsheet is programmed so it automatically recalculates the total spent. If we spend less on one particular gift or item than expected, we can spend that money on someone else, add another person to the list if that circumstance comes up or watch the total amount end up less than expected.
This technique can be incredibly effective to deal with some of the budget-busting scenarios that this year's consumer spending surveys have dug up.
For example, Capital One Bank's holiday survey said, "Seventy-four percent of Americans are likely to make a holiday spending budget, but nearly half (49 percent) of budget-makers aren't completely confident they'll stick to it."
More interestingly, according to that study, "Nearly 3 in 5 (57 percent) people aren't completely confident their significant other will stick to their holiday budget."
Speaking of joint finances, Mc-Graw-Hill Federal Credit Union of East Windsor, N.J., conducted a poll that focused on couples and holiday spending. That survey showed 48 percent of all heterosexual couples and 37 percent of all same-sex couples disagree with their partners on how much to spend on the holidays.
"Not only do today's couples experience anxiety over holiday shopping, but many partners also lie to each other to cover up just how much they've spent or plan to spend," the credit union reported.
To be fair, if your finances are already a concern, it's not likely you have any money to spend.
National Foundation for Credit Counseling did a survey in November on its homepage, www. DebtAdvice.org, asking visitors what their plans were for holiday spending. Of those responses, 53 percent said they would cut back on spending because finances are worse this year than last year, and 33 percent replied with the answer "not spend at all because I anticipate further financial distress."
Did the "no spending" replies surprise you? That trend also shows up in a survey by GoBankingRates. com, which learned more than 40 percent of people responding to its survey said they were not planning on buying holiday gifts for anyone this year.
" What's really surprising is how many people said they're not buying gifts at all; it's not just the young and broke — it's people with children and grandchildren, too," said Casey Bond, GoBankingRates. com managinging editor.
But Ms. Bond added this, "I would argue that consumers are being overly optimistic about their ability to resist holiday spending."

The Sarasota Misguided Loser Squad
You may notice that I added a 'SARjacking' Badge to my sidebar. This is to support a movement – one that all Real Estate professionals on the web need to be aware of. Please read about the Sarasota MLS board and how they have stolen a successful domain from one of their members.
The outcome will NOT be what the Sarasota MLS board hopes it will be though. The Sarasota board of realtors couldn't compete in search so they resorted to thievery. Well, they need to learn some things about the Internet. So, I'm taking part in their virtual lesson.
You can read the details by clicking the SARjacking badge in the sidebar.
The Sarasota MLS board headed by this beauty (Helen Sosso – SAR President) is a truly sad bunch for they had no idea how their actions would backfire. They are even so loony as to say that ANYONE owning a domain with "mls" or emphasizes it in any way is infringing on their trademark. (This is not true, as the Misguided Loser Squad of Sarasota will learn.)
I see a huge movement against them coming – not in just the sheer number of newly registered domains but in a "scorched earth" seo and reputation campaign that will move forward. Welcome to school, Helen Sosso of Prudential Palms Realty.
The mentioned MLS board has stolen a domain because they couldn't compete. But it's not just the Domains – it's the TIME, ENERGY and MONEY SPENT to promote the site that has also been hijacked. This is a sad moment, but the future is great though for they will be exposed and bruised – hopefully keeping other boards (even here in Denver) from attempting a similar theft.
I do think that their entire board has reason to wish they didn't head down this road. They may be wondering what hides in their past that could be pushed for their names, the names of their companies as well as their stated desire to rank for "Sarasota MLS".
Do you want to help Marc fight The Sarasota MLS Board?
I would personally like to see the Sarasota MLS boards website disappear from the Google search result leaving only their victims on top for not just the term Sarasota MLS but every possible real estate term.
Hmmm, I think I may have some iPhones to award pretty soon.
Helen Sosso said:
"I want to use my year as president to encourage our members to be more cooperative, and more professional in our dealings with one another. We all have the same inventory of properties to sell, and it's more important than ever in the current market that we all work together and maintain our professionalism."
Helen Sosso – The Sarasota Association of Realtors 2008 President
Excuse me!? Your board tried to annihilate one of your member's business for personal gain! The time and expense your victim has to endure with your harassment is not easily forgiven.
Get your SARjacking Badge here!
Want to learn more about this? Just Google Sarasota Association of REALTORS.
So, Realtors, if you rely on your website to help feed your family you may want to learn about this and spread it around a bit – YOU may be a victim if this trend continues.

It's impossible not to notice Frank Tweneboa on the soccer field. His explosive play always has people asking "Who's that?" as he rises through the ranks on his way to Major League Soccer.
Even though they quickly learn his name -- and come to appreciate his rare talent -- most soccer fans have no idea who he really is.
They don't know he lives in a friend's basement to save money and takes public transportation because he can't afford a car. They don't know about the nights he's slept at the train station because he missed his train after a long day at practice. And they don't know about the family he ...

and if you believe that it is the 15bhp that is causing handling problems and wear, think again. force india use the same engine and can do the race with fewer stops. it is the mechanical grip, suspension set up that is the problem. merc have been playing around with fric for two years, so maybe that is at the root cause of their problem? by putting extra pressure into the front to raise it, it also has an equal and opposite effect in that it increases the load on the tyres. also, the manner in which a car is driven also affects the tyres.

Apple rated top brand in Japan for first time
updated 01:00 pm EDT, Fri March 30, 2012
Japanese see Apple as top home brand
Nikkei BP Consulting on Friday awarded Apple the position of Japan's top home brand for the first time. The American company's overall "brand power" hit 90.5 percent, taking the company from 11th place in last year's look to the lead position in 2012. The iPad was a key ingredient, as it and two "other key products" were among Japan's top 40 brands.
In the corporate world, Apple also rose significantly and was second only to Toyota.
Both sides of the study were broad, having been conducted between November and December with 52,000 Japanese adults.
Apple's clinching the top spot likely had a large amount of help from the iPhone 4S, which became the top-selling cellphone of any kind in Japan this fall and broke a more than decade-long preference for locally-made cellphones. The US firm has had a history of disrupting the Japanese market and is well known for having undone the Sony Walkman's dominance of music in Japan within just a few years.
Other major foreign brands have made inroads into Japan, including Samsung, but have rarely broken through in more than one category. The Galaxy S II only briefly led smartphones overall in Japan.

Honors College
PLSC 202: State and Local Government -- Honors
PLSC 202 is an introductory course in political science and presumes no previous college level course work in government. Students who have had the American Government course will have a point of reference and comparison for much of the class discussion. As the course title suggests, however, the focus here is on state and local governmental units. Given the number and diversity of such units, we will be emphasizing general patterns and common characteristics. Equally important, we will look to our own state and local units as examples, becoming more familiar with Michigan along the way and using a comparative perspective as a learning tool.
Students will be asked to prepare a case study on their own unit of local government as part of course requirements, and given the congressional elections scheduled for fall 2014, we will also explore the primary election process and the role of ideological groups at the state level in shaping national politics and policies.

The Gauleiters had the function of interpreting such orders and issuing them to lower formations. The Kreisleiters had a certain discretion in interpreting orders, but the Ortsgruppenleiters had not, but acted under definite instructions. Instructions were only issued in writing down as far as the Ortsgruppenleiters. The Block and Zellenleiters usually received instructions orally. Membership in the Leadership Corps at all levels was voluntary. On 28 February 1946 the Prosecution excluded from the declaration asked for, all members of the staffs of the Ortsgruppenleiters and all assistants of the Zellenleiters and Blockleiters. The declaration sought against the Leadership Corps of the Nazi Party thus includes the Führer, the Reichsleitung, the Gauleiters and their staff officers, the Kreisleiters and their staff officers, the Ortsgruppenleitors, the Zellenleiters and the Blockleiters, a group estimated to contain at least 600,000 people. Aims and Activities: The primary purpose of the Leadership Corps from its beginning was to assist the Nazis in obtaining and, after 30 January 1933, in retaining, control of the German State. The machinery of the Leadership Corps was used for the widespread dissemination of Nazi propaganda and to keep a detailed check on the political attitudes of the German People. In this activity the lower Political Leaders played a particularly important role. The Blockleiters were instructed by the Party Manual to report to the Ortsgruppenleiters all persons circulating damaging rumors or criticism of the regime. The Ortsgruppenleiters, on the basis of information supplied them by the Blockleiters and Zellenleiters, kept a card index of the people within their Ortsgruppe which recorded the factors which would be used in forming a judgment as to their political reliability. The Leadership Corps was particularly active during plebiscites. All members of the Leadership Corps were active in getting out the vote and insuring the highest possible proportion of "yes" votes. Ortsgruppenleiters and Political Leaders of higher ranks often collaborated with the Gestapo and SD in taking steps to determine those who refused to vote or who voted "no", and in taking steps against them which went as far as arrest and detention in a concentration camp. Criminal Activity: These steps, which relate merely to the consolidation of control of the Nazi Party, are not criminal under the view of the conspiracy to wage aggressive war which has previously been set forth. But the Leadership Corps was also used for similar steps in Austria and those parts of Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Poland, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Yugoslavia which were incorp-

Poem by Catie Harsant
Posted: Dec 14, 2010
This is a poem I wrote about a past boyfriend, Though not...
My name is Catie, I am fifteen and I am a student. I have huge aspirations to be a Charity Events Manager since I love volunteer work (and being bossy!). I really enjoy writing and I find it really soothing. I like to write about my own experiences or write about my friends experiences. Whenever I think of a good phrase I tend to write it down and use it later in my writing. I also keep a dream journal as I think when your dreaming so of the best ideas will come into your head which you can later write about. My favourite genres are Romance and Mystery.
Any feedback is good feedback if I interperate it correctly so comment away!
Happy writing everyone!
Catie <3

Don't badmind me.
For any Nike Presto fans, the Roshes are the exact same with the materials reversed from the inside and outside. Roshes have a certain net like structure on the outside whereas Prestos have the same texture inside the shoe and a smooth feel outside (If yo feel inside your Roshes you will know what I am talking about). Just thought I would put that out there. Interesting to see how Nike did that.
Either way, I'd prefer Prestos > Roshes.

Looks better (cleaner) than the FR2, but is it as comfortable as the FR2?
Hyped? Outplayed?
Who cares. If you like a shoe and think its comfy then do you.
I liked it because it looked simple and was very comfortable.

The invalid operand with locked CMPXCHG8B instruction bug, commonly referred to as the Pentium F00F bug (as shorthand for
f0 0f c7 c8, the hexadecimal encoding of one offending instruction),[1] is a design flaw in the majority of Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX, and Pentium OverDrive processors (all in the P5 microarchitecture).[2]
The instruction represents:
lock cmpxchg8b eax
The operand could be a register other than eax. The cmpxchg8b instruction is used to compare the value in the edx and eax registers with an 8-byte value at some memory location. In this example a 4-byte register is used as the destination operand, which is not big enough to store the 8-byte result.
Under normal circumstances, this instruction would simply result in an exception; however, when used with the lock prefix (normally used to prevent two processors from interfering with the same memory location), the exception handler is never called, the processor stops servicing interrupts and the CPU must be reset to recover.
The instruction does not require any special privileges and, due to the proliferation of Intel microprocessors, was considered a serious issue at the time. Operating system vendors responded by implementing workarounds that detected the condition and prevented the crash.
Although technically not an example of either, the f00f instruction is often considered an HCF instruction or a killer poke. Since the f00f bug has become common knowledge, the term is sometimes used to describe similar hardware design flaws such as the Cyrix coma bug.
No permanent hardware damage would result from executing the f00f instruction on a vulnerable system. Depending on the file system, operating system, and other circumstances, it is possible for data loss to occur if the disk buffers have not been flushed, if drives were interrupted during a write operation, or if some other non-atomic operation was interrupted.
No Intel processors since the introduction of the Pentium Pro have been affected by the bug. The myB2 stepping fixed this issue.[2]
Information about this bug first appeared on the Internet on or around 7 November 1997.[3]

Two universities have released what they say is the largest database of criminal exonerations in the U.S. ever put together.
The registry was assembled by the law schools at the University of Michigan and Northwestern University.
It includes nearly 900 exonerations since 1989.
The inaugural report also discusses more than 11-hundred other exonerations.
Those convictions were dismissed in group exonerations in the wake of more than a dozen police scandals.
In the scandals, police fabricated crimes usually by planting guns or drugs on innocent people.
The registry's goal is to prevent wrongful convictions and help the justice system better identify and correct them.

Chemistry Placement Test for entrance to CHM/CHL 140 General, Organic and Biological Chemistry
The chemistry placement test is required of all students seeking to gain access to the CHM/CHL 140 General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, who have not passed introductory college-level general chemistry, CHM/CHL 121 or CHM 130 and CHL 130. The placement test requires students to demonstrate an understanding of basic chemistry concepts typically covered in a high school college-prep chemistry course. The test covers a wide variety of topics, such as atomic structure, chemical formulas, bonding, mass, measurements, and basic mathematical conversions. To prepare for the exam, students are encouraged to review material from their high school chemistry class. Students are only able to take the test once a semester registration period, so a solid amount of preparation is encouraged before taking the test online through Sakai. Please contact your advisor to sign up to take the placement test
American Chemical Society (ACS) Chemistry Placement Test for entrance to CHM/CHL 181 General Chemistry I
To improve student success in CHM/CHL 181 General Chemistry I, the department will be using a placement test developed by the ACS. The ACS Chemistry Placement Test score and evaluation of mathematics background will help students assess if they will have adequate background to begin CHM/CHL 181 or if they should enroll in CHM 130 and CHL 130 Introductory General Chemistry and Introductory General Chemistry Laboratory to review essential concepts and ensure a solid foundation for future success in general chemistry.
The ACS chemistry placement test score will be used, either alone or with a high school transcript or college transcript, when available. If the student does not have a sufficient chemistry placement test score, then it is recommended that the student enroll in CHM 130 and CHL 130 Introductory General Chemistry and Introductory General Chemistry Laboratory. A student may take the chemistry placement test only once per semester.
With a minimum score of 17 on the chemistry placement test and minimum predicted GPA of 2.0, a student may enroll in CHM/CHL 181 with no restrictions. A college GPA may be substituted for a high school GPA (if high school GPA is not available) if a reasonable history of college courses is included in the GPA. If no high school or college GPA is available, a minimum placement score of 19 is required for enrollment in CHM/CHL 181. The determination of placement is based on the performance of past students enrolled in General Chemistry at the University of Toledo (data collection and analysis was performed by Dr. Andy Jorgensen and Dr. Don White of the University of Toledo).
Please first meet with your advisor to discuss registering for CHM/CHL 181 and taking the placement test. The placement test for 181 must be taken in the Academic Support Center (ASC) preferably when registering for the CHM/CHL 181 course, and at least two weeks before the start of the semester. While walk-ins can be accommodated, it is best to contact the ASC in advance to schedule a time to take the test.
The placement test consists of 44 multiple-choice questions; each question has four possible answers. Only correct answers are counted, but guessing is discouraged for best assessment of your background knowledge. If you have no idea which answer to choose, you should leave the response blank. You may use a non-programmable calculator. A periodic table will be provided.
Topics for the questions include, but are not limited to:
The following link includes practice problems for some placement-type questions:

From soccer feijoada to Bernal's Avedano's
CHEAP EATS Zeni said she'd been cooking for three days. But the shopping was the hardest part. She had to go all over town, she said, to get the right sausages and other meat ... things.
Such as knuckles.
I have a new favorite butcher shop, but first I have to tell you about Zeni's feijoada. Her man Nutmeg, who plays soccer with me and Alice Shaw the Person (and some other people) has been talking up Zeni's feijoada for many, many seasons. Most often after the game, when all of us are hungry. But since our team conducts its games in Portuguese, a language I don't understand, it's all pretty much feijoada to me.
There's always all this hollering on the field: feijoada, feijoada.
"I'm trying," I say, whenever it seems like they might be talking to me.
Generally speaking, we win.
But now Nutmeg and Zeni are moving back to Brazil, and as soon as we learned this our post-game chatter shifted from feijoada to feijoada-with-a-sense-of-urgency.
Then the next thing I knew I had died and gone to heaven. Which I readily identified by the smell of it, and then by this steaming plate of rice and black beans with sausage, pork, and everything but the chicken sink. The dish was sided by finely chopped collard greens, or couve, garnished with orange slices, and sprinkled with farofa which is cassava flour toasted with butter and bacon.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I could have gone straight from that meal to the firing squad, uncomplainingly, but as it was I got to go to Berkeley, instead, and make some kitchen noodle soup with Crawdad's kids.
Now, my friend Papa is learning to be a butcher, which is about as admirable and honest a line of work as is out there, to my way of thinking. So every time I saw her I would ask about her career and she would say, among other things, "Steak sandwich!" with the same kind of reverence with which Brazilians say feijoada.
I pictured raw, sawed beef on a roll, which made me happy. Then one day, eventually, we climbed that hill to Avedano's, on Cortland St. in Bernal. Or Holly Park. In any case, Avedano's is a butcherer of local grass-fed beef and other responsibly-raised animals, and they don't only just saw and hack them for you to take home; they'll also make you a nice (and entirely cooked) samwich. If you want.
Hedgehog had the Tuscan pork sandwich, with pickled onions and tomato. I got the steak with pecorino, arugula, and pickled tomatoes.
And these things did we eat on a bench. Outside. There, in the sunlight and warmth of mid-day, San Francisco, my love and I got in a huge fight over mustard. I won't bore you with the details, cause I don't remember them. But suffice to say that I loved my sandwich, and Hedgehog loved hers.
I'm not a very experienced sandwich eater, though. With my first bite, I lost a big juicy piece of steak to the sidewalk. It landed right between my feet, where other people's dogs sit on their asses, between other people's feet, and stare at other people's sandwiches, panting and trying to make just the right face.
"Pick it up and eat it," Hedgehog said.
So I did.
I might have pushed the limit of the five-second rule, but it's the spirit of the rule that matters.
And the steak was that good, I'm saying. Slightly rare, succulent ... I couldn't let some dumbass Bernal dog come and lap it up. It was mine!
And it was delicious, even with residual sidewalk all over it. Anyway, I didn't get any dog ass cooties, or other exotic diseases. That I know of. Yet.
Although: a big dumb dog did come along, only moments later, and sniff and lick a little at the spot, before it's owner tugged him away. "Ha," I said.
I am not, as you know, a dog lover.

|Just wondering what you all feel to be the single, worst large-scale atrocity committed against civians in the Civil War? I was just reading yesterday a detailed account of one in particular but wondered if there were others.
One reason I wonder about it is that for a war fought right on our soil with enemies tramping all over the soil, it seems as if there are incredibly few incidents of heinous crimes against civilians given the number of armed combatants involved and the many opportunities they would have had to step out of line.
I am not referring to routine bumming and foraging. I am referring to criminal and wanton sociopathic acts. For example, when one considers the large number of men in the war and the large number of women left unprotected, there seems to be relatively few cases of "outrages" against women. Is it that such "outrages" were not reported or is it that most soldiers were gentlemanly enough to restrain more base urges?
Mainly, however, I am referring to barbarism on a large scale. It seems as if such events were few and far between or maybe there are several I don't know about.

Now that you've decided on your horse barn stall doors, do you know what kind of equine mats you'll use? The editors of Practical Horseman are here to offer some advice.
I wish you luck with your barn plans!
Solutions for Concrete and Asphalt
By the Editors of Practical Horseman magazine
Concrete and asphalt may seem like a simple way to achieve a solid, level stall-floor base that's durable, inexpensive, and easy to clean–but experts recommend against both, even if you have equine mats.
John Brennan, who operates North Run Farm with his wife, top trainer Missy Clark, says concrete was commonly used in barns in Ireland when he was growing up there. This unforgiving surface, he says, can be detrimental to soundness. "If you stable a horse on concrete for a few weeks, he'll become sore in his back and legs."
Standing for hours on a hard surface contributes to stocking up (accumulation of fluid in the legs)–especially if your horse has limited turnout and spends most of he day in his stall, says Dr. Edgar Ott, animal nutrition professor at the University of Florida. Concrete and asphalt also get more slippery with wear, and can cause pressure sores and rubs on elbows and hocks.
If your stall floor already has an asphalt or concrete base, you can improve it slightly by adding 3/4-inch-thick rubber mats for horse stalls for a little extra "give": be sure to use at least 8 inches of bedding-more for horses who are stabled for a long period of time or who tend to tock up.
Stall mattresses, which require no drainage underneath, can be installed over concrete or asphalt. Synthetic grids such as Groundmaster and Equustall can be installed on a concrete or asphalt base if you drill 1-inch-diameter holes a few inches apart to drain any moisture that passes through the grid. In every case, however, a better alternative for your horse is to break up and remove the concrete or asphalt, excavate the stall to a depth of several inches, and iinstall a base of screenings for rubber mats for horse stalls, a synthetic grid, or a stall mattress.

New York Times
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Dec 12, 2012
PHOENIX » It started as a joke about 10 years ago. Chris Bliss, a juggler and stand-up comedian of viral Internet fame, had been scanning the headlines for inspiration and discovered the controversy over a granite monument to the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of Alabama's state judicial building.
"Instead of arguing over whether to leave up or take down these displays of the Ten Commandments," read his ensuing comedy routine, "my suggestion is to put up displays of the Bill of Rights next to them and let people comparison shop."
Funny or not, the idea intrigued him, so Bliss set out to search for Bill of Rights monuments, only to find there were none. He decided to try to build one, and to do it in Arizona, "a place that's known as contentious, a backwater, even," he said. As he spoke early Wednesday, the monument was beginning to take shape on a knoll overlooking the state Capitol, in a plaza full of other monuments and memorials honoring women, veterans and, yes, the Ten Commandments.
Before it could happen, though, Bliss, who left Phoenix for Austin, Texas, three years ago, had to figure out a way to get the Legislature to approve the monument on a slice of public land. In 2005, he was a guest on a radio show hosted by Kyrsten Sinema, then a freshman state representative, and asked if she would sponsor a bill.
"I'm a Democrat, and this is Arizona," Sinema recalled telling him. "You need a Republican to push this legislation for you." (Republicans have been the majority in the Legislature for at least 40 years.)
"I don't like 'no's' for answers," Bliss said.
Sinema, who was elected to Congress last month, devised a strategy. If the legislation were to be approved, she said in an interview, it would need the support of a staunch Republican, preferably in the Senate, which is where many bills sponsored by Democrats customarily implode. She zeroed in on Karen S. Johnson, whom she described as "tea party before there was a tea party." (Johnson, who left the Legislature in 2008, prefers the "conservative" label.)
"Hey, for heaven's sake, how could anybody not be supportive of this?" said Johnson, who is perhaps better known for sponsoring a bill that would have allowed people bearing concealed-weapon permits to carry guns at public colleges and universities.
She had no qualms about putting her name next to Sinema, who at 28 was the Legislature's youngest member — as well as an openly bisexual lawmaker whom "a lot of people liked to pick on," as Sinema put it.
The bill stipulated that the project had to be paid through private donations. On Mother's Day, Bliss raised more than $100,000 through a benefit concert here, out of $375,000 he has raised so far. (He said there is still about $10,000 to go.)
The concert brought together some big names in both comedy and civil rights. One of them, Dick Gregory, 80, had marched alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and staged hunger strikes in the name of racial equality. Another, Tom Smothers, 75, was a star of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," a top-rated show on CBS from 1967 to 1969 before it was canceled over the provocative tone of its political commentary, particularly on the Vietnam War.
The bill passed unanimously in the Arizona House and Senate in 2006, which is unusual for a legislative body that remains politically divided. It was an encouraging moment for Bliss, who said it "confirmed it was a mission worth committing to." Since then, a commemorative Bill of Rights display has been unveiled outside the Poweshiek County Courthouse in Montezuma, Iowa, and another has been approved in Everett, Wash. Bliss has also begun raising money for a monument outside the Texas Supreme Court building in Austin.
The lead sculptor for the monument here, Joseph Kincannon, has carved 10 slabs of limestone, one for each amendment. They are planted outside the Capitol and will be dedicated Saturday. Each slab is undulating and unique — the First Amendment resembles the tip of a key; the Second Amendment, a pregnant woman's profile.
Kincannon trained at the stone yard at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in Manhattan. He worked there for 27 years, carving and building its ornate south tower. He said he wanted the monument's pieces "to have movement when they were next to each other" so they would become "inviting to the eye."
The blocks of limestone came from a quarry near Austin, where they were milled and carved over the summer. The heaviest, at approximately 7,000 pounds, carries the imprint of the Fifth Amendment, which protects against abuse of government authority in a legal procedure. The lightest, at 2,500 pounds, offers the Third Amendment, which prohibits quartering soldiers in private homes without the homeowner's consent.
Kincannon has read the material over and over, and from many angles. To him, the project was never about the significance behind the words, but about making them "comfortable to read," he said.
For Bliss, however, it is all about the words' meaning. He envisions the monument as a place for learning and reflection, "our bedrock principles broken up in 10 digestible bites," he said.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies are searching for the man who was caught on surveillance video snatching a fistful of cash from a Subway restaurant.
The incident occurred on May 1 at the Subway on North Federal Highway and Northeast Ninth Street in Pompano Beach.
Joaquin Zapata, who was working behind the register at the time, says the man picked up a soda and bag of chips but seemed to change his mind and put the items back.
He then asked Zapata how much the cookies cost and then complained about the price.
Finally, the man gave Zapata a dollar bill, but when Zapata opened the register, the man jumped over the counter and grabbed the money.
Zapata says he fought with the thief for a bit, before the man made off with a fistful of $5 bills.
Anyone with information is asked to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

Their name does not lie Big Gigantic is huge and theyre only getting bigger. The electronic duo from Colorado has developed a rabid following since the debut of their first album Fire It Up in 2009. Dominic Lalli (producer/saxophone) and Jeremy Salken (drums), effortlessly blend electronic acoustic beats with saxophone melodies and booming bass, taking the world of electronic dance music to another dimension.
Returning to Tallahassee as a part of their 2013 Winter Tour, Big Gigantic will play at The Moon on Thursday, Jan. 31.
The Big Gigantic project began when Lalli and Salken were roommates in Boulder, Col., where they performed low-key jazz gigs together. Theyve since exploded into a high-energy duo, touring all over the country and taking the U.S. festival circuit by storm, playing at music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Hangout Fest, Electric Forest and CounterPoint.
Starting 2013 off right, Big Gigantic held down key sets on Holy Ship!! and Jam Cruise, becoming the first band to ever play both music cruises.
It was like a huge, raging patio deck party and the music was awesome, Salken said about their experience on Holy Ship!!
While music festivals provide an exciting outlet for large-scale performances, Big Gigantic was given the opportunity to perform one of the most epic shows of their careerthey headlined a sold-out crowd at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Col. Inspired by Brazilian DJ and producer Amon Tobins use of live video mapping techniques, Big Gigantic became the first act to incorporate live projection mapping visuals right on the venues rocks.
Being from Colorado, playing Red Rocks is an absolute dream, Salken said. Then to headline is amazing, then to sell out is even more amazing. It was just an epic night.
After the release of their critically-acclaimed album Nocturnal, in January of last year, the duo is busy in the studio working on their next release, set to drop some time early this spring. While their music is primarily instrumental, Salken revealed they have been experimenting with new artists and vocal samples. Like past Big G releases, expect to see their new album available for free download on their website.
We just really wanted everyone to have it, Salken said. And if everyone can have it, theyd come see us play and we could build Big Gigantic that way."
Fans can expect a unique blend of fresh new tracks mixed with classic originals like High Life, All Nighter and Nocturnal during the show on Thursday night. The group confirmed they will use their brand new, over-the-top light rig, which was debuted during their New Years Eve run in Chicago.
Hip-hop duo Two Fresh will open the show. Twin brothers Kendrick and Sherwyn Nicholls combine an array of instrumental hip-hop, sampling elements, catchy synth lines and strong beats into a refreshingly diverse performance.
We go on an adventure and try to feel the vibe of the crowd, Salken said.
