- Colorado House to take formal vote on civil unions bill Tuesday
Labor battles, gun fights, fracking and education financing will test lawmakers when the state legislature opens Jan. 9, but one issue is not in doubt: Colorado is poised to become the ninth state in the nation to allow same-sex couples to form civil unions.
After two years of fighting over the issue, the Republicans who controlled the House and killed the measure are out of power, paving the way for a civil unions bill to head to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who supports legal recognition for same-sex couples.
But the victory will be bittersweet for Sen. Pat Steadman, the gay lawmaker who has led the fight for civil unions.
The Denver Democrat said he believes allowing gays to marry, rather than just form civil unions, would truly represent equality, but marriage is banned under Colorado's constitution.
And he won't be able to share the moment with his partner of 12 years, Dave Misner, who died in September after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.
"It's going to be very sad for me, and sort of anticlimactic," Steadman said.
On opening day, Steadman will introduce his civil unions bill, his third such measure in three years.
House Democrats had enough votes to pass the measure in the 2012 session, but the GOP leadership refused to call it up for debate, resulting in one of the most dramatic Gold Dome battles in recent decades.
The fallout helped Democrats win a 37-28 majority in the November election. Denver Democrat Mark Ferrandino on opening day will be elected the first gay speaker of the Colorado House.
Ferrandino, the House sponsor of the measure, said civil unions "won't be rushed through," but he expects the measure to be signed into law around the session's midpoint in March.
Republican Mario Nicolais, a supporter of civil unions, thinks that's a good thing for all of Colorado but especially for the GOP.
"It's an issue Colorado Republicans have had a very hard time dealing with," said Nicolais, noting the growing acceptance of gays, particularly among young voters.
Steadman said many of his constituents have wondered why he is pushing only for civil unions when voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington in November voted to allow same-sex couples to marry.
He pointed out in his electronic newsletter that Colorado voters in 2006 passed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
"As a state senator, I cannot propose marriage equality because our constitution forbids it, and I took an oath to uphold our constitution," Steadman said. "But my oath also requires me to uphold the federal constitution and its promise of equal protection of the law. These obligations are in conflict and I cannot remain satisfied with the status quo."
He also pointed to a Denver Post poll released earlier this month that shows that only 36 percent of Coloradans support same-sex marriage. Another 32 percent favored civil unions, 27 percent oppose legal recognition of any sort, and 6 percent were unsure.
"I have consistently admitted that civil unions are not equal to marriage and they are in fact 'lesser, separate and unequal,' " he said. "And yet they are worth fighting for and there will be thousands of couples that will choose to enter this new relationship in Colorado."
Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, who helped put the measure outlawing gay marriage on the ballot in 2006, could not be reached for comment.

A bill sponsored by Rep. Windol Weaver, a Republican from York, would allow Mainers age 70 and older to opt out of jury duty.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Mainers who are 70 and older would be allowed to opt out of jury duty if a bill before the Legislature passes.
The sponsor, Rep. Windol Weaver, told the Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that health issues make it difficult for a lot of people in their advanced years to serve. The York Republican says there's no need to add stress to their lives by requiring them to serve on juries.
Weaver, whose bill faced no opposition at Tuesday's hearing, says 28 other states allow jury duty exemptions based on age.
A representative of the Maine court system spoke neither for nor against the bill. Mary Ann Lynch said it would reduce the pool of jurors, who are chosen from the state driver's license list, she didn't know by how much.

What's the difference between a regular bookcase and a "rock star" bookcase?
Add color depth to your bookcases by jazzing up the back. This is also a great idea for any room in the house, not just the nursery or kid's room! Especially for renters who want to add some color to a space but aren't allowed to paint their walls.
Three ways to get a "rock star" look:
1. Paint
The cheapest and easiest way to achieve bookcase stardom is paint. All you have to do is paint the back! If your bookcase doesn't have one, you can create the illusion of a back by painting the silhouette of the bookcase on the wall behind it.
Other ways to get creative with paint: use a stencil to create a decorative pattern or use chalkboard paint* so that you can label where things go.
2. Wallpaper or Scrapbook Paper
Be bold and dress up the back of your bookcase with wallpaper or scrapbook paper. Enough said =)
3. Fabric
If you don't want to go through the tedious work of using a stencil and wallpaper just isn't for you, fabric is the way to go. With such a vast selection of fabrics at your disposal, your only problem might be choosing one.
Until next time!

Madd Dogg
this wiki
- Not to be confused with Dogg, a biker from The Lost and Damned.
- "I oughta smack the dog shit out your ass!"
- — Madd Dogg to OG Loc
Madd Dogg is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Madd Dogg is a rich and famous gangsta rapper from Los Santos. His name resembles the famous, real life rapper, Snoop Dogg and the late G-funk/R&B singer and rapper Nate Dogg. He is based on Ice-T (who voiced the character) as well as Dr. Dre and Ice Cube of N.W.A. (whose music make up over half the Radio Los Santos soundtrack) and Snoop Dogg, who has similar writing on his logo. He was romantically involved with female rapper and R&B musician, Rochell'le.
Breakthrough (1988-1991)
Forgotten Legends explains that Madd Dogg first gained extreme popularity as a rapper, without any full albums, in the late 1980s. He quickly earned enough money to buy his trademark mansion, pictured on his first two albums. The home resembles the "Hammertime" mansion in Fremont, California once owned by MC Hammer, as well as styling cues from homes owned by Ice-T.
In 1990 he released Hustlin' Like Gangstaz (parody of Above The Law's Livin Like Hustlers, produced by Dr. Dre and featured on Radio Los Santos) and Still Madd (parody of Ice-T's OG: Original Gangster, complete with a song "2:30 in the Afternoon" to parody "6 in the Morning").
During 1990, he also began a relationship with Rochell'le, a bubbly, innocent female singer and labelmate on Jimmy Silverman's Blastin' Fools Records. A rumor exists that he was her ghostwriter for some of the more rap-oriented songs she released.
Mainstream status and downfall (1991-1992)
In 1991, he released 24 Carat Dogg. The name might suggest that he had moved on from violent music to more radio-friendly songs in which he bragged about his lifestyle, like many rappers, but in 1992 it seems that he still has plenty of street credibility.
At the beginning of GTA: SA, Madd Dogg was very popular and exploring merchandise such as a clothing label "Madd Tagg" - later in the game, the player can buy one of the shirts for $30 at Victim. Russell Simmons was the first person in hip-hop to have his own clothing line in 1992, called Phat Farm.
Madd Dogg began to sink into a depression after his rhyme book went missing and his manager was killed (all secret efforts by CJ - ironically, his future manager - to jumpstart rival OG Loc's music career). Outside of these attacks, he also struggled with "alcoholism and egomania" (as told by Lianne Forget), drug abuse, massive financial debt, as well as breakups with Rochell'le and his rap group "Doggy Boyz".
Comeback and retirement (1992-1994)
Later that year, he was forced to give his mansion to a Vagos drug lord, and was supposed to give a concert in Las Venturas before he went missing. When Carl Johnson finds him, he had a room at the Royale Casino, and after he had gotten drunk and gambled away his fortune, threatens suicide before CJ saved him and sent him to rehab. Madd Dogg then hires CJ as his new manager, unaware that CJ ruined his career in the first place and rescued him out of guilt.
As manager, CJ begins by taking back his mansion and directs Madd Dogg to record a new album, also taking back the original rhyme book from OG Loc. At the end of the game, possibly in early 1993, Forty Dogg is released and quickly goes gold.
In 1994, he released "the less-than-stellar" N.L.A.D.B. (Never Leave A Dog Behind), which would become his last album and direct him to retire. As of 1998 and 2003, his albums Still Madd and Forty Dogg were digitally remastered.

- The name Madd Dogg comes from the term "Mad Dog" which means "To stare someone down in response to an initial provocation or to start a fight with another."

(September 2000) Strong school-to-career programs combine challenging classes with real-world training to prepare students for employment.
The Issue
Studies by leading experts argue for better training to equip future school counselors to support students' academic and career needs.
The Response
In 1998, The Wallace Foundation and The Education Trust of Washington, D.C., launched Transforming School Counseling, a national effort to improve the university training of school counselors and burnish their skills in providing academic and career development counseling to middle- and high school students, especially those in low-achieving schools. Six universities received three-year, $450,000 grants to change graduate-level counselor training programs, recruit more diverse candidates and work with local school districts to redesign their counseling programs. In addition, The Education Trust received an $875,000 grant to work with the universities as they implemented changes to their counselor education.
The Results
The universities overhauled their counselor preparation programs by adding internships and making other changes. Another 20 universities opted to take part without grants, received information, attended initiative meetings and reworked programs on their own. The universities worked with districts committed to rethinking the school counselor's role and offering job placements to program graduates. Gaining Traction, Gaining Ground, the Education Trust's report on characteristics of schools that have had some success in helping low-performing students, found that one common trait was that these schools brought counselors into the academic culture.
Related Work
A $40 million Wallace effort begun in 1992 focused on serving high-school-age young people in a different way by supporting six initiatives that sought to enable adolescents, especially low-income teens, meet the demands of a highly skilled workforce. The initiatives were: High Schools That Work; Career Academy Support Network; Communities and Schools for Career Success; Benchmark Communities Initiative; National Training Program of the National Association of Service and Conservation Corps; and YouthBuild Affiliated Network.

Today's novices could be tomorrow's Olympians
By Ingrid Remak
Contributing Writer
Anyone skiing at Theodore Wirth Park this winter has gotten to know one team very well. Nellie Stone Johnson skiers, decked out in blue and yellow, have become familiar faces on the Wirth ski trails. Kids who began the season in November with wobbly legs and shrieking during downhill runs have transformed into steady and strong skiing specimens, keen on technique, speed and stamina. Feeling at home on the hilly cross-country ski course, the team has fearlessly careened into the snow season and hasn't looked back since. The Nellie Stone Johnson Ski Team is quite an anomaly on the trail. Continue Reading →

February is Bake for Family Fun Month.
I love to bake, and I'm always on the lookout for a new recipe to try — homemade bread, a healthier cake, scrumptious cookies.
But gone are the days of my solitary puttering in the kitchen.
My daughter, Olivia, is 2 1/2, which means she's quite aware of everything we do.
See if you can picture this: I grab a mixing bowl and set it on the counter. Immediately her eyes light up and she runs (she never walks) to the dining room.
Next I hear the scraping noise of our wooden chairs dragging across the floor — I cringe every time — and then silence as she hoists it in the air to carry it across the carpet.
Back in the kitchen, she pushes the chair to the counter, climbs up and rolls her sleeves to mimic my own preparations.
She cannot be deterred, so I pull out her apron and get out the measuring cups.
And prepare for a mess.I admit I'm still learning the patience part of parenting, and must remind myself that every mess can be cleaned up, no matter how far the flour spreads.
I haven't yet happened upon the perfect recipe for cooking with kids. When I tried cut-out sugar cookies with Olivia and my 4-year-old niece, McKenzie, we ended up using the cookie cutters on bread instead, and making toast. (That was my mom's idea — she is infinitely more patient than I.)
Cookies always seem like a good idea, although Olivia insists on tasting the flour. Why? I don't know — life is all about experiences, I guess.
Then, of course, comes the issue of cookie dough. For years we've been told to never eat cookie dough for the fear of salmonella from raw eggs. Do I follow this advice? Let me just say that I hardly ever crave the finished cookies because I nibble too much of the dough.
Maybe it's genetic because Olivia loves to taste the dough.
What I need is a good cookbook from World War II full of ration recipes that don't use eggs.
We like to make bread, too, and I figured the bland flavor of bread dough wouldn't be tempting.
Oh how wrong I can be.
On New Year's Eve we made pretzels from scratch and cheese fondue, as is our simple tradition. I was parcelling out dough pieces for rolling and twisting, then transferring the pretzels into boiling water before putting them in the hot oven.
We thought Olivia was old enough this year to master the pretzel technique.
We'll never know — she preferred to stuff dough in her mouth rather than roll it.
At least I didn't have to worry about raw eggs.
When each project is finished, I try to shoo her out of the kitchen while I clean.
She will have none of that, and pulls her chair up to the sink to help.
Remember that mantra about how every mess can be cleaned up? What about when all that flour is suddenly doused with water?
You get goo, which spreads quite well when smeared with tiny hands.
I know she means well — she is, after all, not quite 3 and there is a lot of the world to discover.
Instead of worrying about the mess, I'm remembering to focus on the funny face she makes when she mistakes salt for sugar, or the way flour coats her perfect little face.
These baking ventures will get easier, I know, but I'm afraid I will miss the silliness of this phase, and her giggles at the floury hand print on her pants.
She is, in her innocent way, teaching me to lighten up about life, which can get pretty darn messy no matter how careful we are.

Twins are making a comeback!!! This season was so atypical for a long time... we had the worst record in the entire league, by a few games even. But some of our injured players have returned and we've won 11 of our last 13 games. Now we're 3 games ahead of Houston, and have been within single digits of our division leader, fucking Detroit. I think the season is pretty well blown by now - kinda late for a serious comeback to get into the playoffs - but it's certainly a breath of fresh air after the ABSOLUTELY HORRID YEAR MINNESOTA SPORTS HAS BEEN HAVING. Jesus christ, the Vikings lose the division, Gopher football has a two-win season, Gopher basketball is one of the worst in the conference, and the Wild and the Timberwolves end up nowhere near the playoffs. The Twins are usually ol' reliable - if there's any MN team that you can count on to make the playoffs, it's them.
But the fuckin' Yankees are always our downfall. You hear that JN?? FUCKIN YANKEE F-F-F-FAG
I've been pretty happy with the Jays this year: Bautista's batting alone has made it worthwhile!
That said, the MLB badly needs a salary cap, or a complete restructuring of the playoff model: being in the same division as the Yankees and Redsox is fucking horrible.

Anyone have an opinion on the Cy Young Winners? At this point, the NL Cy Young could go to Hamels, Lee, or Halladay. Their stats are almost identical, but Hamels has a lower WHIP, but higher ERA. The AL Cy Young should go to Verlander, he's been stellar.
When they said "sit down", I stood up.
Phillies will defeat the Yankees in 6 or 7 games to take the World Series. The Yankees' bats will win a few games for them, but not enough.
I stupidly signed up for MLB.tv this year, not reading the fine print, and not knowing that a "blackout" doesn't just occur when a game doesn't sell out, but basically anytime MLB determines a game should only be viewed with cable TV. Now I signed up for postseason.tv because I don't get TBS and there's no blackout problem, but none of the camera views follows the ball/action. Why? Do they WANT it to suck?
When they said "sit down", I stood up.
The SF giants would be playing the Brewers right now if only Posey didn't get injured but now I have to watch the stupid Cardinals they're boring.

In general I find baseball moderately boring.
But it is fun when the home team is doing so well. Especially when I live ten minutes from the stadium. I'm hoping for a World Series just so I can tailgate it.
Brew Crew
Boring? try excruciatingly un-entertaining. Worst spectator sport ever. I actually have no practical reason for following it/watching games religiously. I feel this peculiar sense of satisfaction upon observing Pablo Sandoval's batting average or Tim Lincecum's ERA. The statistics play a large part in my interest, yet I despise math.
To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.
-Aldous Huxley
Nothing is more boring than soccer.
I like baseball if I'm at a game, but on tv it's seriously sooo boring. But if I'm at the game, I don't really actually watch the game. I'm drinking beer, eating junk food, and socializing. I prefer minor league baseball because the fan experience is amazing, and I don't give a crap if the teams suck. Haha.
However, I'm following the playoffs (not watching the games, just keeping up with the win/loss records on mlb.com) because I love it when a team from WI or MN does well (except the Vikings and the Badgers). I might actually watch the World Series for the first time in my life if the Brewers make it.
It also helps that the Yankees and the Red Sox have nothing to do with the playoffs this year. I'm rooting for a White Sox vs Brewers WS. Hooray for underdogs!

MOSCOW — Russia's decision to grant temporary asylum to Edward Snowden opened a fresh wound in Moscow's battered relations with the United States on Thursday, even as it ended the bizarre two-month odyssey that began when the former National Security Agency contractor leaked details of top-secret U.S. surveillance operations.
Snowden slipped away in a taxi Thursday from the Moscow airport that had been his home since June 23, bearing a Russian refu gee certificate granting him permission to stay in the country for one year.
It was a forceful rebuff to a series of private and public appeals by U.S. officials to have Snowden returned to the United States, where he faces espionage charges.
Obama administration officials denounced the decision to protect Snowden and hinted at repercussions, perhaps including the cancellation of a planned summit between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Reaction from Congress was far harsher, with key lawmakers from both sides calling for a rethinking of relations with Moscow.
"Russia has stabbed us in the back," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. "Each day that Mr. Snowden is allowed to roam free is another twist of the knife."
The former technical contractor and admitted leaker of NSA documents has signaled that he intends to stay in Russia. One of his attorneys said Snowden has discussed taking language classes and finding work , a country that has a history of harshly repressing its government critics as well as a record of mistreating other U.S. citizens who have sought asylum there.
One of the few bright spots for U.S. officials was that Snowden's behavior — including his ability to release additional secrets — is certain to be controlled by his new hosts, former U.S. officials and Russia experts said.
"He will likely live under very restricted conditions with a lot of surveillance," said Andrew Kuchins, director of the Russian and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. "If he steps out of line, Putin will crush him like a bug."
The day's developments began with an announcement by Anatoly Kucherena, an attorney for Snowden, that Russian authorities had granted a request for temporary refugee status.
The approval allows the former Maryland resident to live and work in Russia while his application for permanent political asylum is considered. Until Thursday, Snowden had been in limbo in the transit area of Moscow's sprawling Sheremetyevo International Airport, with his exact whereabouts known only to his attorneys and a handful of Russian officials.
The lawyer described Snowden as "the most-wanted man on the planet" and said he "needed time to adapt to Russian realities."
Snowden issued a brief statement through the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks, which has provided him with legal and logistical support.
"Over the past eight weeks, we have seen the Obama administration show no respect for international or domestic law, but in the end the law is winning," Snowden was quoted as saying. "I thank the Russian Federation for granting me asylum in accordance with its laws and international obligations."
In Washington, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration is "extremely disappointed that the Russian government would take this step."
"This move by the Russian government undermines a long-standing record of law enforcement cooperation" that had "recently been on the upswing" since the Boston Marathon bombings in April, he said.
Asked whether Obama would attend the September summit in Moscow, Carney said, "This is not a positive development ... and we are evaluating the utility of the summit."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., blasted the asylum decision as "a slap in the face of all Americans" and called on the administration to turn up the pressure on Moscow on a variety of fronts, including a renewed push for NATO expansion and new missile-defense programs in Europe.

|Family members
- "My name was Mary Alice Brandon. I had a little sister named Cynthia. Her daughter - my niece - is still alive in Biloxi."
- ―Alice[src]
Cynthia Brandon was the younger sister of Alice Cullen, when she was still known as "Mary Alice Brandon". She is only mentioned towards the end of New Moon, when Alice visits Bella for a few days. Alice explains that she has been researching information about her human life, discovering about her sister, who had since passed away, leaving a daughter who still lives in Biloxi. It's unknown whether Cynthia knew that Alice was confined to the asylum.
Cynthia was nine years younger than Alice. Despite the age difference, however, Cynthia and Alice were very close. Her father was a jeweler whose work kept him away from home for days at a time, so their mother took care of Alice and Cynthia. Her father remarried within six months after the passing of her mother, and her stepmother treated her like a favorite while treating Alice very coldly. After Alice was confined to the asylum, Cynthia married and had a daughter, whose name is unknown. She had since passed away, but her daughter is still alive in Biloxi..

Various tests are available to compare solar cookers (see below). Not everyone in the solar cooking community agrees on how to best test solar cooker variations, and how to report the results of these tests. Some argue for a standardized test with standard measurements calibrated to report absolute results. Others argue for a more low-tech, approach that measures only the relative difference between cookers or cooker variations when tested side-by-side.
There is also a discussion about what to test and how to rate cookers. Is a cooker that cooks very fast, but has to be turned frequently to follow the sun better than a cooker that cooks slowly but never needs to be turned. Many factors other than raw cooking power influence the appropriateness of one solar cooker over another.
Relative tests
A possible testing scenario:
- Heat a liter of water simultaneously in two cookers, one with the modification to be tested and one without. The two cookers to be tested could also be two completely different models.
- After a time (before the water boils in either cooker), measure the temperature of the water in both cookers.
- Use these measurements to determine how many degrees each cooker raised the temperature of the water.
- Calculate the percentage difference between these two temperature changes and report this along with a description of the modification that you tested.
Absolute tests
Partnership for Clean Indoor Air: Stove Performance Testing Protocols
- "Stove performance varies greatly, and the performance of a specific stove is often different in the lab and in the field. Testing allows implementers to learn how well stoves perform and to quantify improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions. Test results can be used to guide implementation decisions and to improve stove design and performance. Below is a collection of stove testing resources that may be of interest to PCIA Partners." - PICA
Water Boiling Test (WBT)
- The Water Boiling Test is a laboratory test that evaluates stove performance while completing a standard task (boiling and simmering water) in a controlled environment to investigate the heat transfer and combustion efficiency of the stove. They are the easiest, quickest, and cheapest to conduct, but reveal the technical performance of a stove, not necessarily what it can achieve in real households.
- WBT testing protocol
Controlled Cooking Test (CCT)
- The Controlled Cooking Test is a field test that measures stove performance in comparison to traditional cooking methods when a cook prepares a local meal. The CCT is designed to assess stove performance in a controlled setting using local fuels, pots, and practice. It reveals what is possible in households under ideal conditions but not necessarily what is actually achieved by households during daily use.
- CCT testing protocol
Kitchen Performance Test (KPT)
- The Kitchen Performance Test is a field test used to evaluate stove performance in real-world settings. It is designed to assess actual impacts on household fuel consumption. KPTs are typically conducted in the course of an actual dissemination effort with real populations cooking normally, and give the best indication of real world changes. The KPT is benchmark testing that solar cookers will also need to be evaluated with. It will help in finding the appropriate solar cooking technology to partner with other clean-fuel cooking options. The primary goal is to find integrated cooking solutions to stem the environmental damage currently being caused by deforestation, and eliminating respiratory disease from cooking with smokey, inefficient fuels over open fires.
- KPT testing protocol
Recent news and developments
- December 2013: Technical testing standards for solar cookers updated - The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), based in St. Joseph, Michigan, USA, has revised its solar cooker standard. The organization is recognized worldwide for developing voluntary standards for food, agricultural, and biological systems. Often sited in technical reviews, the updated version will replace the current standards established ten years ago. The goal is to promote uniformity and consistency in the terms and units used to describe, test, rate, and evaluate solar cookers, solar cooker components, and solar cooker operation. However, it is outside of the scope of the standards to factor in cost, durability, and user satisfaction. Review the new standards: ASAE S580.1 NOV2013 Testing and Reporting Solar Cooker Performance
- November 2012: ASABE (the society for engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems) is revising the international standard, S580, "Testing and Reporting Solar Cooker Performance." The intent of this standard is to make it possible to test solar cookers with a minimum investment in technology, in any location, while arriving at a value that is repeatable independent of climate, and easily understood. It uses Watts of cooking power to rate box-type, panel-type and concentrating (or parabolic dish-type) solar cookers. The document may be viewed here: http://solarcooking.org/asae_test_std.pdf and comments may be sent to: email@example.com.
- February 2012: Ajay Chandak, a respected and experienced innovator with solar cooking technologies, has provided the following insights to stove testing. It appears one of his greatest concerns is that all stoves, solar and bio-fuel types, be tested with the same procedures and using the same criteria. This will provide relevant information to be able to compare all the various cooking technologies. His comments are below:
- I think we need all three tests. During recent training program at our end we included WBT and CCT for solar cookers. My view is that all three tests are required for any cook stove for following reasons.
- 1. WBT: This test is useful for rating cookstoves in one category: For e.g. if we talk of solar dish cookers then this test compare different dish cookers on their performance, efficiency etc. Same is valid for other cookstoves. We can compare all woodstoves on one to one basis. I think the test needs to be simplified from the current form.
- 2. CCT: This test provides fuel saving potential of the cookstove with presumption that both the existing cooking option and proposed new cookstoves are operated in the best possible manner. All cookstoves, irrespective of fuel type, renewable or fossil, solar, biogas, biomass, LPG, kerosene will be compared with what so ever the cookstoves we want to replace. So this test provides comparison amongst different technologies while WBT provides comparison amongst same technology. CCT is utmost important to get solar also introduced as one of the possible options, and it can only be accepted by different committees and bodies if we provide them comparative scale of solar with other technologies. CCT will also form the benchmark for any carbon funding activity for renewable energy project to know what is the carbon emission saving potential of a particular technology.
- I think we need all three tests. During recent training program at our end we included WBT and CCT for solar cookers. My view is that all three tests are required for any cook stove for following reasons.
- 3. KPT: This is practical version of CCT. In CCT we presume that the existing cooking technology and new proposed technology are used in best possible manner. However in practice it is not so. Moreover in CCT fuel/emission saving potential will depend on time of usage by the end user, which we take by estimate. In KPT we are replicating real life situation to find out actual saving potential considering all uncertainities in usage timing, variation in food habits, variation in cooking quantities, variation in cooking practices etc.
- For this reason we need to consider same set of tests for all technologies. There may be additional tests for few technologies, but at least WBT, CCT and KPT should be common to all. Any way WBT and CCT also hardly require any costly equipments, normally a thermometer and weighing machine is adequate for these tests. I feel that all tests should be as simple as possible and sample sizes to be reduced to less than 3% in case of KPT. As CCT establishes the benchmark on how much can be saved, it makes sense to reduce the sample size in KPT.
What to test
A focus only on speed and highest temperatures eliminates one important preferred feature for some. The intuitive "fastest, hottest is always best" overlooks the benefits of slow, unattended cooking where food never burns and sun angle adjustments are seldom needed. This is often mentioned as a favorite feature by consumer feedback from women around the world. A bias against slow, gentle solar cookers that cook like crock pots - ideal for many favored dishes - reduces market access for large populations of women whose daily needs and finances don't match "hottest, fastest" devices. Commercial avenues for spreading solar cookers have failed more often than not, and cooker designers' reliance on what they THINK is best for women is too seldom confirmed by consumer feedback, which varies widely with region-specific foods, women's daily demands, climate, etc. for this reason, it has been proposed that parabolic cookers be separated from all other solar cookers and that the remaining cookers be rated separately for each of six or seven features other than cooking temperature or speed. This can accelerate finer target market adjustments through marketing studies.

Learning to Fly
this wiki
- "Now listen, you're going to have to learn how to fly."
- — Mike Toreno.
- "No, I ain't."
- "Yes, actually, you are."
- — Mike Toreno.
Learning to Fly is the first mission in the Verdant Meadows airstrip given to Carl Johnson by Mike Toreno.
CJ is told by Mike that he is earning a wanted level on his head, and it's time for him to do bigger tasks in order to save and release his brother Sweet from prison. He is told to buy the abandoned airstrip in Verdant Meadows, which costs $80,000, after purchasing the lot, he goes to the room above his safe house, and begins flying lessons. After completing the tests and earning his pilot's license (that can now grant him access to the restricted areas of the airports), he can start his flying missions, along with a call from Woozie from his casino.
Mike tells Carl to go buy the airstrip in Verdant Meadows. After CJ buys the property, flight school will be available. If he scores 70% or better on a test, another test will be available. He needs to get at least 70% for all of them for 100% completion of the game (though in the case of the flying school, completion is mandatory for simply being able to progress in the game's storyline). It also makes CJ a licensed pilot, with access to the airports, if he wasn't one before.
There are 10 tests that need to be completed. For a detailed walkthrough of the tests, see Pilot School Lessons.
- Unlike most other missions, you can save your game and even engage in other side missions such as race tournaments, dating, horseshoe-gathering, etc. in the midst of working towards completing all the challenges. However, Toreno will call you on a regular basis and harass you for not completing the training yet (following on from his earlier implication that he is always spying on Carl).
- It is strongly advised you save after every completed exercise. However remember that time elapses when you do this and Carl must eat/exercise, etc. Before beginning the flying lessons, it's advised that Carl park a vehicle in the nearby hangar to facilitate these occasional tangents, though a PCJ-600 will sometimes spawn near the entrance to the save point.
- Under most circumstances, the game will not allow you to crash during one of the exercises, unless you steer your plane/helicopter into the ocean to the north, in which case you will be wasted and end up at the hospital at El Quebrados.
- If the player leaves the airstrip and decides to free roam around San Andreas while the tests are not yet passed, the first three times a player leaves a vehicle, he will receive a call from Toreno, urging him to finish the test as soon as possible. The first call is encouraging him and calling Carl a coward, the second is a learn to fly persuasion, the third, and the most threatening of all, is when Toreno says that if CJ does not finish flying school, his brother Sweet will have a child murderer and a racist-killer in the cells next to him and Sweet's cellmate will be someone called "Horse-Cock Harry", who will rape Sweet.
- Although the driving school is also mandatory in order to unlock all available missions, pilot school is the only school that must be completed in order for the main storyline of the game to proceed, as the missions unlocked by the driving school are optional.
- The name of this mission may be a nod to the song "Learn to fly" by the Foo Fighters .
Flying School Phone Calls from Toreno
If you don't start the first test of the mission immediately and leave the area, or stop learning midway and travel around, Toreno will call CJ and attempt to persuade him to learn faster. He only calls three times.
Phone Rings
CJ - Hey, wassup?
Toreno - Hey, how's the flying coming along?
CJ - Yeah, well shit man, I was gonna holla at you about that cause, you know, I'm...
Toreno - Will you listen to yourself? Admit it, you're scared.
CJ - Maybe just a little
Toreno - Until you've walked into the middle of Bedouin arms dealer's camp with nothing but a briefcase full of cash, you don't know the meaning of fear, okay?
CJ - Oh Yeah? Try going to the swap meet in Idlewood sometime.
Toreno - Learn to fly, Carl.
Phone Rings
CJ - What do you want, Toreno?
Toreno - Well, what do you want, Carl? You want your brother out of jail?
CJ - Ok, listen, I'm trying man, I really am.
Toreno - I'm gonna let you in on a little secret, Carl. The one difference between those that tried and died, and those that still walk this Earth, is belief in self. Nothing is impossible, Carl. Beat your fears, focus your mind, and learn to fly!
CJ - Ok, ok, I'll... Toreno? Oh shit...
Phone Rings
CJ - Toreno?
Toreno - Carl, learn to fly.
CJ - I'm on it man, I swear.
Toreno - Yeah, I'm on it man I swear, same old broken record Carl, but that's fine, because your brother's getting a new cell mate tonight. Horse Cock Harry. And I'm sending a present, little wedding present. Big tube of lube!
CJ - Shit dude, ok, ok, I swear man, I'm gonna be the best pilot!
Toreno - I'd love to hear you Carl, I can't hear you, all I can hear is your brother's love cries, as eight kilometers of cock finds it's way up his ass. Aooooowww - that's your brother, ok? No big problem.
CJ - Wait! Please, man!
Toreno - That was my last motivational speech, understand? Am I being too spiritual for you, Carl?
CJ - Ok man, I get the message.
Post mission phone call
Carl Johnson: Hello?
Wu Zi Mu: Carl, it's Woozie!
Carl Johnson: Hey, Woozie, man, what you been up to?
Wu Zi Mu: Come along and see for yourself. I got a little business proposition for you. Come over and see the setup, my friend.
Carl Johnson: OK, for sure, I like that.
Wu Zi Mu: Like it? You're gonna love it! It's the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas. I'll see you soon, yeah?
Carl Johnson: Yeah, OK.
After you complete the tests, you will unlock a Rustler, for finishing all the tests with bronze or above, a Stunt Plane, for all silver and a Hunter for all gold. Also, the missions N.O.E. and Fender Ketchup are unlocked, with the latter triggered by a phone call from Wu Zi Mu. This phone call also unlocks all remaining safehouses available for purchase in Las Venturas as well as the Four Dragons Casino save point.
By the time the tests are completed (often before the final test, in fact), Carl will gain enough flying skill to earn his pilots licence. At that point, he is (officially) allowed in the runway areas of the three major airports, all airplanes and helicopters are unlocked and available to fly, Carl is automatically equipped with a parachute should he ever have to bail from an aircraft (the events of Stowaway not with standing), and the flight-related race tournaments trigger point in Las Venturas becomes accessible. The Victim clothing store, which offers trendy clothes, is now open.

May 2, 2016
The State Bureau of Investigation is reviewing a crash involving the son of Asheville police chief and former Greenville police chief William Anderson and whether the agency handled its investigation of the wreck properly.
One question the SBI will have to figure out is who was in the car. Chad Anderson says someone else was driving his 2007 Pontiac G5 when it crashed into a traffic island in Asheville around 2:30 a.m. March 9.
The Asheville Citizen-Times (http://avlne.ws/10alo3C ) reports that a police report backs that account, even though the only two known witnesses to the crash told the newspaper they only saw one person standing near the car after it wrecked.
District Attorney Ron Moore asked the SBI to get involved because he wanted the actions of Asheville police that night to be reviewed.

The documents posted on this page provide instruction on registration and rostering procedures. The topics will cover instructions for the on line registration system and procedures for player and team official registration and rostering. Initially, the page will contain a series of brief, single-topic documents. As the documents accumulate, it's likely that some related individual documents will be collected into manuals.
Your comments and suggestions relating to the documents found on this page are welcomed, as are suggestions for topics not yet covered. Please send these to email@example.com
Tournament Team Instructions (Coming soon!)
Recreational Club Pass (updated 04/13/2016)
Instructions for the creation of MSYSA-approved Club Passes for registered recreational players. The Club Pass allows the recreational player to play as a guest in league games with one of the club's travel teams (if permitted by league rules). Creation of the Club Pass is initiated at the club level by the Primary Registration Contact ("PRC").
System Changes for 2015 - 2016 (Interim Version, 07/09/2015)
(New for 2015-16) Several changes have been made to the MSYSA on line registration system to be effective with the 2015-16 seasonal year. One of the changes allows Clubs to control database access of their Primary Team Contacts ("PTCs"). Each Club can choose whether to implement this control; to be effective, however, the choice must be made during the Annual Membership Application process. This process is one of the first to be completed for the new seasonal year, so it is documented in this interim version of System Changes for 2015 - 2016. This document will be updated to include description of the other system changes as system testing continues.
Out of State Player Instructions (updated 08/09/2015)
(New for 2015-16) Maryland residents are able to join travel teams rostered under other US Youth Soccer state associations by registering as an Out of State Player (OOSP). Registration for out of state play requires approval from both MSYSA and the state association under which the team is rostered. The OOSP registration process is intended for use by the player's parents or by a team official.
Non-Rostered Guest Player Instructions (updated 07/25/2015)
(New for 2015-16) Players not yet rostered to a travel team during the current seasonal year have the opportunity to register as a Non-Rostered Guest Player (NRGP). Registration as an NRGP provides an MSYSA-approved US Youth Soccer Member Pass which allows playing as a guest in tournaments sanctioned by a US Youth Soccer state association. The NRGP registration process is intended for use by the player's parents or by a team official.
System Changes for 2014 - 2015 (07/07/2014)
(New for 2014-15) The MSYSA on line registration system has been changed effective with the 2014-15 seasonal year to eliminate the transportation of team paperwork between the team and the assigned MSYSA registrar. Documents that the registrar must review will be uploaded into the registration system; after review and approval, the team is able to print the approved MSYSA roster and USYS Member Passes This description of changes should be useful to both team and club officials.
Team Transfer Between Leagues (01/30/2013)
A procedure for moving an approved team in the on line system from one league to another (within same club). It is performed at club level by the Primary Registration Contact ("PRC").

Muscovski is the man who works in the laundromat who owed money to Vlad. When Niko went to collect Vlad's money, Muscovski threw a laundry hamper at him, and tried to escape in a Laundromat, but was chased and pulled over by Niko. He said he would give Vlad his money, but was having trouble getting it together.
It should be noted that like a typical pedestrian in GTA IV, Muscovski's appearance will be different in each of his appearances, not just with his outfit, but also his facial features, lacking or featuring of a mustache, and sporting different eyebrows and hair design. In general, Muscovski can be described as a middle-aged man with a plump appearance. His name means "Moscow's" in Russian. So it's likely that Vlad was simply calling him a "jerk from Moscow" or "Muscovite jerk"

The 1964 Civil Rights Act became law 50 years ago, and the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs this year is hosting a series of events to commemorate the historic legislation. Last week's panel discussion at Cowles Auditorium with local civil rights activists was the beginning. Roy Wilkins Center for Human Relations and Social Justice Chair Dr. Samuel Myers characterized the January 23 event, cosponsored by the center and the African American Leadership Forum, as "a critical discourse and discussion about how far have we come and where we need to go."
University of St. Thomas Law Professor Nekima Levy-Pounds, the event's keynote speaker, told the audience of around 40 people that Dr. King's legacy too often is romanticized, especially his 1963 I Have A Dream speech. "That speech was amazing — according to many people, it is the greatest speech that's ever been made in American history," she said. Continue Reading →
