Post subject: This next year, plans and ideas :)
Kia ora all
So it was more than a spur of the moment decision to put my hand up for CO, and I have since been familiarising myself with the Base Command forums. So I hope to make a few nifty changes in the next short time to the forums. Sorry no free prizes at this stage
PR materials are in the process of downloading and I will see about getting items printed off as need be (especially for the upcoming armageddon event).
First off I'd like to thank everyone who has had a hand in creating and maintaining our outpost- our name and logo were the result of many hands working together.
This is still a hand over stage, so there are some kinks to work out and I am going to be busy chatting with our sister group Outpost 42 about upcoming events.
I would love to be able to meet all our members and potential members face to face and ask what you would like to see Naboo Outpost achieve this coming year. It's one thing to come in to a position with lots of ideas, as I do and as every CO does, and another to make sure they gel with the community.

There are still some admin changes happening at a higher legion level so my first update is a bit of a small one
We have autopruning for the forums turned off! Hooray! While we have the archive forum to view older threads there have been more than a few that have sadly fallen through the cracks and been lost.
I have also requested two new sub fora: Costume Builds and Event Planning.
So far I have requested different privacy settings. These have not been set up yet so can be changed.
Costume builds:
open to any logged in forum member. I am more than happy to open them fully to allow search engines to find them. Just let your voice be heard here and I can update the request
Event Planning:
Open to all RL members and R2 builders. I am also more than happy to then also allow logged in 501st members to view them as well. Especially given the local 501st forum is open to full RL members too
Again, please let me know your preference as this is simple to change.
I have reserved a facebook page. Just working on the blurb and stalking, er, taking notes of other RL facebook pages. Hoping that this will make it easier for people to find us
PR materials have been downloaded and am sorting through them.

I like the idea of the new subforums, and agree that the Event Planning subforum be open to 501st members. Given that we have access to the NZ501st's planning subforum it only seems fair.
Would access to this subforum be limited to NZ-based RL/ 501st /R2 builders members, or would it be accessible to any authenticated group member worldwide?

I can see all the base members only fora under the listing of other countries, but I does look like there could be forum access limited by user groups (and each base has one, we are Naboo, naturally- command staff would have to be able to see as well as a few other groups).
As I said, the fact that our local 501st group has inluded us makes me way more than hapy to include them. So long as everyone feels the same way
Still no update on the forums so I'll head back and see if that can get rolling

ROCK!! We have our subfora:) Now that they are here i will be able to ask for those new permissions, if everyone is okay?
Costumes: public, to increase exposure of our activities to the public.
Event planning: RL members (active and inactive) and 501st only for sensitive events suh as hospital visits etc.
We also have our Naboo Members Only forum for any further sensitive topics and archives etc.. As soon as we are sorted with our permission settings I'll go through and move pages to the appropriate sections. Please do feel free to post any progress.
I also finally got some general blurb and our logo on to a Facebook Page. We are listed as a community organisation.
The frames project continues, those with old frames have a few months to get new photos so I will get in touch with those asap.

And next stage, I have just order 100 of the Medal of Yavin trading cards
There are only a few more sets and if we have enough interest locally for ideas on how to gift these out (hospital visits, etc.) I can ship off cards to members in all main regions.
I'm also going through the other swag merc for giving away. I know at D*C the trading cards and stickers and temp tattoos were adored by kids passing through and adults were really interested in the costume standards book.
I have business cards as well, I'm also looking at getting a Naboo specific one organimsed or get some pamphlets run with quicklinks to the facebook page and forums.
Operation Sandstorm is still on the cards, it's under the costume builds. I have held off making that forum made open as I think we also need a completed troops section (these will not auto prune so we can have a record of our past troops for as long as these forums hold up!) But I was also thinking of a Jedi-along for anyone needing a prompt to just cut that fabric they already have! I've been inspired by a lot of comic book characters so am looking at hakama and elf ears

Investigate 17th-Century Artists' Practices and Enjoy a Last Chance Look at Claude Lorrain's Drawings on April 29 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
April 11, 2007
Join Phoebe Dent Weil, art conservator, Northern Light Studio, St. Louis, MO and Florence, MA, as she explores the common components of 17th-century paintings and drawings and how these were prepared and employed by the artist Claude Lorrain. "Claude Lorrain and Seventeenth-Century Italian Studio Practice," a free lecture, will be held at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Sunday, April 29, at 2 pm.
Weil will focus on Claude's drawing materials—inks, red and black chalk, white gouache, reed pen, quills, brushes, white and blue papers—and propose a demonstration of his typical working methods and ways in which he used his drawings and varied his techniques for specific purposes. Claude's drawing techniques will be compared with those of some of his contemporaries and predecessors. Methods of manipulating these materials in order to work on-the-spot in the open air will be discussed, as well as Claude's adaptation of drawings to canvas and his painting materials and techniques.
The question of alteration of Claude's drawing materials over time, both physically and chemically and the impact of these changes on the aesthetics of the visual image, will be presented. Digital reconstructions estimating the original appearance of some of the drawings will be shown as well as actual reconstructions using materials approximating those used by Claude.
Claude Lorrain is on view at the Clark through April 29 and will then travel to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. where it will be on view May 27 through August 12.
Claude Lorrain is the first exhibition in the United States to focus specifically on the Claude's drawings and working methods and place the objects within the historical, cultural, and artistic contexts of 17th-century Rome, his adopted home. Known for inventing the "modern" landscape, Claude changed how people viewed the natural world, influencing landscape artists for generations to follow. Claude Lorrain features 90 drawings and etchings from the incomparable collection of the British Museum. The works on paper are joined by 13 oil paintings from international public museum collections. From preparatory sketches to final oil paintings, the exhibition comprehensively reveals Claude's vision of nature as it explores his working process.
Claude Lorrain—The Painter as Draftsman: Drawings from the British Museum was organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in association with the British Museum. It is supported in part by the Parnassus Foundation, courtesy of Jane and Raphael Bernstein, by the National Endowment for the Arts, and by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Durham >Apple Store, Southpoint
8030 Renaissance Parkway, Durham, NC | Directions 2771335.90528 -78.94339
M-Sa 10am-9pm, Su Closed
Terrible customer service – I've owned an ipod for several years and recently decided to purchase an iPad. I made a reservation in the store and shortly there after discovered that there was an old, inactive e-mail addy linked to the account. I changed the e-mail on-line but was told by the apple store employee that my reservation was still linked to the old e-mail and was unable to be changed. They said i should call in periodically to see if my iPad had arrived. Today i called the store to be told that there was no way to check the reservation. I explained that several people had checked before. The Apple employee continued to tell me I was wrong while treating me as if I were a moron. Awesome customer service, let me tell you. He then told me to change my e-mail on line, I explained that I did but the reservation was still linked to the old addy. Still treating me like an idiot he said that it did work but i didn't receive an e-mail because the iPad wasn't in. Apparently working at the Apple store is a presigious position that makes you SO much smarter than others and non-Apple employees must be treated as the peons they are.
I think I'll just order it online and take my Apple business to the Crabtree Valley Mall store instead.
Genuis gets a kick out of telling customers no. – One of the members at the genius bar was quite rude when we asked if we could purchase a demo model printer. We asked because they were out of stock of almost all printers. It was almost as if this "genius" got some sort of joy out of telling us "no". It is fine if that is not allowed, but I would have appreciated a more polite approach towards customers. Won't be going back there to be treated in such a snub manner any time soon.

Cross Country Records a Pair of 4th place Finishes
Full Results | Individual Results
Milledgeville, GA - The North Georgia College & State University cross country teams recorded at pair of fourth place finishes at the Georgia College & State University Pre Conference meet Saturday morning.
The men started the day with an 8K event as Columbus State won the race with a total score of 28, followed by Clayton State with 42 points and GCSU with 89. The Saints finished in fourth place with 133 points as senior Alan Schmitz led the team with an 18th place finish in 28:09.
Freshman Kyle Ashcroft finished just two spots behind Schmitz in his first collegiate place, crossing the line in 20th place with a time of 28:14.
Tyler Mattix and Alex Kenna finished just four seconds apart in 29th and 32nd place with times of 29:08 and 29:12 respectively. Teale Marchette returned for his sophomore year and rounded out the top five in 34th place with a time of 29:18.
The women followed with their 5K race and Columbus State came out on top once again with 36 points, edging out Augusta State who raced to a total score of 42. Host, GCSU came in third place with 91 points, followed by North Georgia with 114 points.
Emmy Lawalin led the way for the Lady Saints, finishing the course in 14th place with a time of 20:27. Freshman Katie Vance followed in 17th place with a time of 20:39, and Meghan Riggin crossed the line just five seconds later in 18th place with a time of 20:44.
Bea Nelligan and Candace Chumley finished just one second apart in 32nd and 33rd place with times of 21:32 and 21:33 respectively to round out the top five.
Both teams will be in action again next Saturday, traveling to Wingate University to take on the Region's best teams. The Pre-Regional event will get started at 9:15 a.m. with the men's race, followed by the women at 10:00 a.m.

International Student Employment Policy
International students may work a total of 20 hours per week in aggregate on campus (40 hours per week during breaks). International students who have a graduate assistantship must factor the 15 hours required for the assistantship into the 20 hour total. Students may not use weekly averages, for example, 10 hours one week and 30 hours another. International student time sheets will be evaluated once a month by the Payroll Office. If a student goes over the hourly limit, a one-time warning will be sent from the Payroll Office to the supervisor and the student. Any further infractions will be forwarded to the International Student Affairs Office. Students should be aware that they will be o-of-status if they do not follow the weekly hour limits and may be denied any future F-1 benefits as a result.

The Hardball Times, in a piece on supersubs of the 70s and 80s, brings us this classic Pedro Guerrero moment, which of course allows me to make more jokes about the genesis of this blog's name.
Nor can we fail to include this classic Guerrero story; I can't remember where I heard it first:
Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda, drilling his neophyte third baseman on mental alertness: "Okay, Pedro, it's the ninth inning, tie game, one out, runners on first and third. What are you thinking?"
Guerrero: "Don't hit it to me?"
Lasorda: "No, no. After that."
Guerrero: "Don't hit it to Sax."
You know, I heard a guy got shot in New York City once – and they never found out who did it.

Tipis, yurts, or wigwams
No dogs allowed
Campfires allowed
Student groups welcomeSee all facilities…
Hardy types go camping in all sorts of weather, and good on them too, we say, as we wave them off with their tents in the depth of February. But, while we're filled with admiration at those who pitch a canvas home on the side of a mountain before the daffodils come out, there's a lot to be said for luxury camping too. A lot of luxury. Which is where Caalm Camp comes in, where owners Mark and Caryl have thoughtfully tested their toasty yurts in temperatures as low as -6, and found themselves with not a shiver in sight.
The six Mongolian yurts here are in deepest Dorset but just an hour from the M4 and M5 and have every little touch you could think of for a very caalm camping trip at any time of year: wood-burning stoves – with logs provided – for the cooler temperatures, an outside picnic table and barbecue for the warmer days, full electricity, electric sockets to charge up the gadgets (essential), crispy bed linen and fluffy towels, and even a hob for first-thing cuppas before getting out of your PJs (also essential). Yurts sleep up to six with a double bed and two day beds in each one; two extra beds can easily be added if you need them by saying so on the 'special requests' form when booking.
Each yurt comes with its own private and lockable shower room in The Old Hay Barn steps away, where there's underfloor heating, hand driers and storage units for all your toiletry bits and bobs – no going across a campsite with your sponge bag around your neck here. The Hay Barn also has a big and plentifully-equipped communal kitchen where each yurt has its own fridge, cupboards and stacks of room to prepare food: make the mother of all fry ups then settle down in the comfy seats in the day room with its TV and children's area…talk to other yurt-dwellers or just sit dreamily and gaze over the Dorset countryside; the choice is yours…
Elsewhere on the site there are chickens to feed on the farm, a wooded play area for little yurters, and a communal firepit to gather around with other guests at night to toast marshmallows, have a singsong or raise a glass to the spiffing surroundings. Fishing is available at Caalm Camp's own lake or in the seven lakes at the neighbouring fishery, and for foodie supplies there's a farm shop and the Kings Arms with top pub grub nearby.
As Caalm Camp is a farm site, dogs are not allowed.

Our six traditional Mongolian yurts are beautifully equipped and can sleep up to six people; each yurt has a double bed and two day beds, with room with an additional two z-beds.
Duvets, bed linen, fluffy white towels are all provided. A wood burner (logs included) for cooler nights, an induction hob for that early morning cuppa or light bite, and electric lighting are also provided.
Each of our luxury yurts has its own private shower room within The Old Haybarn, a short distance from each yurt, with under floor heating, hand driers and vanity units for storage, exclusively for your use for the duration of your stay. Also in the Old Hay Barn you will be able to make use of the large communal kitchen, where each yurt has its own fridge and plenty of room to prepare a hearty breakfast, that can be eaten in the day room, which has a TV, children's area and comfortable seating too sit and relax, talk to new friends and look across at the lovely countryside that Dorset has to offer.

T-Sa 11-10, Su 11-5
Great Food! – This place is one of my favorite vegan/all natural and organic American restaurants. There is a wide variety of great quality food. I also love the whole environment and feel of the diner and the employees are very kind and friendly. I am a fan of their quesadilla and very berry smoothies. I have had friends who were all hesitant about eating vegan food end up to their surprise actually liking the food. I would have to agree with a previous review that the food here is not cheap, but that shouldn't be a big surprise since organic food anywhere is always more expensive anyways.
decent but inconsistent – These hippies really give me the blues sometimes. This place can serve some delicious stuff on occasion, but the service is ALWAYS miserable and they often run out of things. I had some soup today that was terible. A week ago it was magnificient. These ups and downs are more than my delicate psyche can bear. Pancake Sundays are consistently nice.
amazing – Who would have thought a vegan restaurant in Fort Worth could be successful? Well, they've done it. Amazing organic vegan food at reasonable prices, what more could you ask for? Spiral is a welcome change from all those corporate chain restaurants where the wait staff look and act like zombie's. Everyone is very friendly here and you actually feel like you're part of a community here.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Popular vegan restaurant in Fort Worth attracts all types of eaters (carnivore or not) with its filling, creative menu.

A waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component, multi-layer formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability. HyVent® technology has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining an optimum level of breathability. To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent® garments to 20 wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the waterproofing Mullens test.
Exclusive to The North Face®, WindWall® is a fleece fabric that retains the comfort, flexibility and breathability of traditional fleece while eliminating wind chill. Traditional fleece tests at 200 CFM, a relatively porous rating compared to WindWall®, which rates between 10 and 40 CFM. WindWall® utilizes a unique fabric-bonding process that cuts 80 to 95 percent of wind, keeping the outdoor athlete warm while allowing enough airflow to ensure a dry and comfortable fit. WindWall® has proven a trusted year-round technology, as it shines as either a layering fabric or as a standalone outerwear in milder conditions.

The Virginia women's basketball team dominated Norfolk State 66-23 Friday, advancing to Saturday's championship game of the Cavalier Classic.
The Cavaliers led 32-6 at the half, and held the Spartans to just 23 points in the game. That's the second lowest point total by an opponent in the history of the Virginia program and the fewest since UVa defeated Mary Washington, 41-19, on Dec. 2, 1975.
The Cavaliers were led in scoring by Simone Egwu who had 16, and finished a perfect 4-4 from the field and 8-8 from the free throw line. Ataira Franklin and Sarah Imovbioh each had 12 points for Virginia, and Telia McCall added 9 points and 14 rebounds.
The Cavaliers will take on Xavier Saturday at 7 p.m. at John Paul Jones arena, playing for the tournament title.

Seed Germinating Times and Tips
"Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas." Elizabeth Murray
The Art of the Garden
As any seasoned gardener will tell you, gardening is an art and a true labor of love. The art of the garden begins with learning about the needs of each seed. Germinating seeds is not a black and white "by the book" process. Each seed type is different and desires different conditions and levels of patience. Some, like the Radish and many Lettuces, only ask for a little water and a few days. Others, like the Hot Peppers and some Perennial flowers, need specific temperature and humidity and MONTHS to germinate!
In this post we will give you some basic tips for successful germination, information of the various seed "types" followed by a chart detailing expected germination times of specific seed varieties.
The "Must Know"s for Successful Seed Germinating
Sowing the seed
Most seeds germinate best at warm (70°F) temperatures. Plants from temperate regions, the arctic, high mountains and high deserts often germinate best at cool temperatures. Plants from winter-rain areas like California, the Mediterranean, Chile, S. Africa and parts of Australia also like cool temperatures. Warm temperatures will often speed germination of these seeds, but lower vigor, survival and germination rates. Warm desert plants and tropical seeds like warmth. Please refer to the germination chart below for guidance on germination temperatures for specific seed varieties.
Seed Types and General Germination Tips
Below you will find a chart of specific germination times for many popular garden seeds:
For detailed information on HOW to germinate Pepper Seeds, click HERE
Set yourself up for success!
Other important factors in seed germination are the Soil mix and pH, Pre-treatment of seeds, optimal hours of light, and various seed germinating techniques. We will be addressing these issues in upcoming posts so stay tuned!
Knowing what to expect from your specific seeds and how to best care for them will help set you up for successful germination and save you the concern of wondering "when will my seeds germinate?!"

Image is everything when you're 16 – the Piaggio NRG has it with race bike styling and graphics. But it's still a 50cc moped restricted to 30mph by law, so unless you're old enough to derestrict, progress is painfully slow.

The Aprilia RX50 has the looks of a proper enduro bike, but none of the performance. Restricted, it'll struggle to break 30mph, and de-restricted (illegal for 16 year-olds) it'll top 50 eventually. The chassis will cope with gentle off-roading, but ride it harder and the RX50 will be out of its depth.

Researchers Uncover Mechanism for Chronic Inflammation in Type 2 DiabetesPosted: Monday, January 10, 2011
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have demonstrated that certain T cells require input from monocytes in order to maintain their pro-inflammatory response in people with Type 2 diabetes.
The study also showed, for the first time, how a loss in homeostasis in this group of T cells most likely promotes chronic inflammation associated with Type 2 diabetes (T2D).
The senior author of the study, Barbara Nikolajczyk, PhD, an associate professor of microbiology and medicine at BUSM, writes, "T2D is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the body has high levels of glucose in the blood due to the lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin efficiently." The incidence of T2D continues to rise at alarming rates in both children and adults in the United States.
Previous research done in mice has shown that T cells play a critical role in the development of insulin resistance in response to a high fat diet, often leading to T2D. Additional findings indicate that T cells exhibit a pro-inflammatory response more often than an anti-inflammatory response.
Working with human T cells, the team observed that in order for T cells to exhibit the pro-inflammatory response, they required constant interaction with monocytes, indicating that monocytes play an indirect role in chronic inflammation and T2D.
While it is not known what the homeostatic balance levels are between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory T cells, this study indicates the need to restore a balance in order to halt chronic inflammation and T2D.
"The true importance of our observations is the indication that altering balance among immune system cells could be a fundamentally novel treatment for T2D-associated inflammation and perhaps insulin resistance," said Nikolajczyk.

Long-term unemployment: Is education the solution?
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
As the economy begins turning around, some CA local governments still struggle with high unemployment
An inquiry about job loss and the struggling economy sent out to our Public Insight Network prompted an interesting response from Scott Hutton, who has engineering training and management experience, but who has been out of work for a long stretch of time and is beginning to question his skills:
I have been debating whether to spend what money I have left on professional training courses and certificates to perhaps make up for the lack of advance degrees. Or, pursue coursework in computer engineering to try to land a job in the IT field. IT seems to still have some future here even in Los Angeles. But, this would be an investment using the last bit of money I have.
The conventional wisdom says that Scott probably should invest in himself and acquire the skills he needs to remain competitive. He doesn't have the benefit of an employer to turn to for additional job training. So he needs to finance it himself, and history indicates that these kinds of investments, while somewhat risky, can pay off.

Contrary to expectations, Governor Scott Walker did bring up his campaign promise to create 250,000 new jobs in Wisconsin in his state of the state address Tuesday night.
Having fallen more than 212,000 jobs short of the mark so far, Walker promised to "double down" on his effort to create those jobs by 2014, because "In Wisconsin we don't make excuses, we get results."
Then, as my colleague Rebecca Kemble who attended the speech observed wryly on Twitter, Walker went on to blame protesters, the recall effort, and the fiscal cliff for the bad jobs numbers.
How bad is the jobs picture?
Wisconsin now ranks forty-second in the nation for job creation, according the last week's Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
For eleven of the last twenty-four months, the state has lost jobs, Democratic State Senator Chris Larsen of Milwaukee observed in his reply to Walker's address--putting the state us dead last in the midwest region.
Yet over and over in his address, the governor touted his union-busting, budget-slashing approach, declaring "We are moving Wisconsin forward," as if saying it again and again might make it so.
Walker, who cut $1.6 billion from K-12 schools, tech colleges, and Wisconsin's great university system in his last budget also made Wisconsin one of the top five states, nationally, for cuts to education, Chris Larsen observed.
Yet he proudly declared success for his education "reforms."
He foreshadowed future efforts--which he'll expand on in mid-February when he delivers his budget. Among them, expanding school vouchers, siphoning money into charter schools, private schools, and homeschooling. He made a specific reference to one statewide "reform": the inmates who now work as school janitors, to save the state money.
Walker also touted a controversial mining bill that he has been pushing since last session--to exempt iron ore mines from air and water quality standards, as well as public meetings laws that allow local residents to weigh in on mines in their areas.
Walker made no secret last session of the fact that the owner of the Gogebic Taconite mine company that wants to dig a massive open-pit mine on the shores of Lake Superior was behind the bill. The mine owner was not open to a bipartisan, compromise measure, the governor told reporters in a conference call.
If we are going to get a mining bill, it will have to be exactly as drafted (as if the mine owner, not the governor were the chief executive of the state).
A group of men in hard hats held up the Wisconsin flag to add visual oomph to the governor's claim that the mining bill would create thousands of new jobs in Wisconsin (the mine company's estimate is 700).
The jobs exaggeration, the environmental impact, and the perceived railroading of the tribes that own the land in question are just some of the concerns that have made "this bill so controversial.
Walker's other jobs successes were, naturally, pretty thin. He pointed to one employer in the gallery who had created a grand total of seven new jobs. He pointed to one woman who got a new job yesterday.
The rest was puffery.
"We made tough, but prudent, decisions to get our fiscal house in order. Today, unlike the federal government and many of our neighboring states, we have a surplus, which will allow us to invest in our priorities," Walker declared.
But, as state Democrats point out, Walker only reaches that conclusion by abandoning his promise to use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)--a broken promise Politifact called him on last November.
Using the GAAP standard, Walker begins the upcoming budget with a $2.2 billion deficit, according to his own Department of Administration.
The math is pretty simple, in the end,

Clean Cities Launches Improved Tool to Help Fleets Evaluate CNG Investments
VICE Model 2.0 Released
We've updated the popular Vehicle and Infrastructure Cash-Flow Evaluation (VICE) Model to allow fleets greater flexibility in determining payback periods for natural gas vehicles and fueling infrastructure. The VICE Model helps fleet managers evaluate the financial soundness of investments in compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and/or fueling infrastructure. The updated version is applicable to a wider variety of vehicles and can accommodate an incremental fueling station build out.
Read more on the Clean Cities Blog.
Gov. Hickenlooper Announces $30 Million Award to Increase State's Natural Gas Fueling Infrastructure
DENVER — Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013 — Gov. John Hickenlooper today announced the Federal Highway Administration's Congestion, Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program will provide $30 million to increase Colorado's natural gas fueling infrastructure. The funds will provide for the statewide construction of compressed natural gas fueling stations and the purchase of natural gas vehicles (NGV).
"Increased use of natural gas as a transportation fuel diversifies Colorado's portfolio, supports locally produced energy, improves air quality and can save money through lower fuel costs," Hickenlooper said. "These funds are critical to support installation of compressed natural gas fueling stations along the state's major transportation corridors. These stations will help ensure an NGV owner can drive nearly anywhere across the state fueled by Colorado-produced gas."
In 2011, Hickenlooper and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin joined 14 other states to sign a multi-state Memorandum of Understanding committing to the purchase of NGVs for each State's fleet and encouraging the development of more functional and affordable CNG vehicles. As a result of the effort, car manufacturers are offering states lower cost NGVs and more model types including the recent introduction of half-ton trucks and mid-sized sedans which run on CNG.
Earlier this month, the Colorado Energy Office led an agreement among 29 large fleet owners including local governments, private sector companies, other public entities and members of the natural gas industry. These organizations committed to help accelerate the deployment of NGVs and a fueling station infrastructure to increase the use of a cleaner, domestic resource that diversifies Colorado's transportation fuels.
The CMAQ funds will help with the construction of as many as 30 compressed natural gas fueling stations, and for the adoption of at least 1,000 natural gas vehicles to be awarded for use statewide. The four-year program will be managed by the Colorado Energy Office with the support of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Regional Air Quality Council (RACQ) and local governments.
The CMAQ funds received approval through a vote by the Colorado Transportation Commission today.
Clean Cities Releases 2014 Fuel Economy Guide
Clean Cities has once again collaborated with EPA to release the 2014 Fuel Economy Guide! You can view the Guide online or order it in print form on FuelEconomy.gov. All of the vehicle information in the Guide is also available in FuelEconomy.gov's Find and Compare Cars tool, which allows drivers to customize their results based on their local fuel prices and driving habits.
The guide provides "Top Ten" lists allowing consumers to see the most efficient advanced technology vehicles as well as the most efficient gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. Consumers will also find a broad range of information in the guide that can be helpful while shopping for a new vehicle— including an estimated annual fuel cost for each vehicle. The estimate is based on the vehicle's miles per gallon (mpg) rating and national estimates for annual mileage and fuel prices. The online version of the guide allows consumers to enter local gasoline prices and typical driving habits to receive a personalized fuel cost estimate. Also, for the second consecutive year, the guide includes a 1-10 greenhouse gas rating for each model, providing a quick and easy way for consumers to identify vehicles with low greenhouse gas emissions.
Changes Coming to Colorado. . .
(Source: Colorado Department of Revenue)
Effective January 1, 2014, the excise tax rate for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) will change from $.205 per gallon to $.03 per gallon for LPG and LNG and $.03 per gallon equivalent for CNG (a gallon equivalent is equal to 126.67 cubic feet).
Colorado is one of the first states in the nation to reduce these tax rates. The rate changes could help to increase the market for these fuels. In the bill's legislative declaration, it states "The intended purpose of this rate reduction is to fairly tax liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas and to create tax parity among special fuels based on the differences in each fuel's energy content."
Certain fuel distributors, retailers and vendors will be required to obtain a Colorado fuel distributor license due to new legislation regarding these special fuels (HB13-1110). Those fuel dealers who may be required to obtain a Colorado fuel distributor license include:
- Any vendor of liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas (a public utility is not a distributor unless it sells these fuels through an alternative fuel vehicle charging or fueling facility that is unregulated under §40-1-103.3 C.R.S.)
- A private commercial fleet operator that uses LPG or CNG from a public utility.
- Any person who refines, manufactures, produces, compounds, blends or imports special fuel or gasoline.
- A person who contracts with a private commercial fleet operator to be a distributor on behalf of the operator.
- A public utility who sells fuel through an alternative fuel vehicle charging or fueling facility.
Distributing fuel in Colorado without a license can subject a dealer to civil penalties.
To apply for a fuel distributor license, go to www.TaxColorado.com, click on Forms and Forms by Number, then download forms DR 0214, 5785, 7064 and 7065.
If you have any questions, contact the Colorado Department of Revenue Fuel Tax Unit at 303-205-8205, option 2.
Alternative Fueling Stations in the Palm of Your Hand
New iPhone app helps drivers find stations(Source: Clean Cities Blog)
Drivers of alternative fuel vehicles can now find fueling stations using Clean Cities' new iPhone app.
The Alternative Fueling Station Locator app, now available through the App Store, allows iPhone users to select an alternative fuel and find the 20 closest stations within a 30-mile radius. Users can view the locations on a map or as a list with station addresses, phone numbers, and hours of operation.
"If you drive an electric vehicle, for instance, you can now use your iPhone to effortlessly identify, contact, and navigate to the charging station that's most convenient for you," said Project Manager Trish Cozart of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. "Drivers aren't searching for stations while they're sitting at their computers; they need this information while they're out and about, which makes the iPhone an ideal means to deliver it."
The app draws information from Clean Cities' Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), which houses the most complete, up-to-date database of alternative fueling stations in the United States. The database currently contains location information for more than 15,000 alternative fueling stations throughout the country.
The AFDC is a comprehensive clearinghouse of information about advanced transportation technologies and offers unbiased information, data and tools related to the deployment of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles.
E85 Handbook Updated. . . Available Online
The Handbook for Handling, Storing, and Dispensing E85 and Other Ethanol-Gasoline Blends has been updated and is now available. You can order it via the document order form or find it online here: www.afdc.energy.gov/uploads/publication/ethanol_handbook.pdf
The document serves as a guide for blenders, distributors, sellers, and users of E85 and other ethanol blends above E10. It provides basic information on the proper and safe use of these fuels and includes supporting technical and policy references. Updates in this version include a comprehensive list of compatible dispensing equipment, information about equipment for use with E15 and blender pump blends.
Workplace Charging Challenge
Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy / Vehicle Technologies Office )
Today, about half of the vehicles in the United States are parked at overnight locations with access to plugs, providing a great foundation for the country's plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure. However, employers across the country are beginning to offer charging access in workplace lots, which serve as the next most-likely place a vehicle will spend time parked. In fact, the ability to charge at work can potentially double a PEV driver's all-electric daily commuting range. This untapped resource presents a significant opportunity to expand the country's PEV charging infrastructure.
To support the deployment of this infrastructure, DOE has launched the Workplace Charging Challenge, with a goal of achieving a tenfold increase in the number of U.S. employers offering workplace charging in the next five years.
As part of the Workplace Charging Challenge, DOE is calling on America's employers to sign the Workplace Charging Challenge Pledge as "Partners" to make a bold commitment to provide PEV charging access to their workforce. The Pledge also enlists stakeholder organizations as "Ambassadors" to promote and facilitate workplace charging.
Partners who sign the Workplace Charging Pledge will:
- Commit to assessing employee charging demand and developing a plan to install charging stations. Partner plans will include milestones for charging infrastructure installation with a minimum goal of provision of charging for a portion of PEV-driving employees at one or more major employer worksites, and a best practice goal of assessing and meeting all PEV-driving employee demand.
- Take action by implementing a plan to install charging stations for their employees.
- Share progress on achieving plan milestones over time, as well as best practices.
