Vermont utility seeks renewable energy moratorium
JOHNSON — One of Vermont's largest utilities is calling on the state to impose a moratorium on renewable energy mandates.
The board of Vermont Electric Cooperative approved a resolution Thursday seeking a two-year moratorium and formation of a statewide panel that includes customers to develop a renewable energy transition plan.
About a dozen opponents of wind energy attended the meeting at the co-op's headquarters in Johnson, where the resolution was passed.
Co-op CEO Dave Hallquist said the resolution reflects the sentiment of its members who are concerned about finding a balance between rising electric rates and the adoption of greener energy.
Senators voted against a moratorium in the last legislative session. They say they will continue to press for another vote.MORE IN This Just InSafety warning for Full StoryBETHEL Police have made an arrest nearly a week after a hit-and-run accident in which the...

Excerpt: "I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this Medal of Honor has a score to settle with doors, as you'll breach over two dozen doors to which you throw a flashbang, then slow-motion kill enemies that are standing behind them. The excessive amount of door breaching is fine given there's over a half-dozen tools to do the job, you unlock more as you use the prior tool. It's novel, but overdone. Warfighter also eschews what modern games of really any variety ask of you to do: collect things. They simply don't exist here and there is absolutely no reason for them to. It unfortunately makes the campaign a one-stop shop, even a higher difficulty may not be enough for a return trip.
The campaign is carefully crafted and linear as a result, but it is not without heartfelt moments, pure adrenaline, and militaristic tactics. The attention to detail in cutscenes, actions, dialogue, and terminology makes for a believable world. Danger Close has excelled at ensuring that the military gets proper respect and does nothing to insult the inherently dangerous tasks laid out before servicemen." 4/5

hello sunshine :)
I consider myself a happy, optimistic person. My friends have described me as kind-hearted, classy, funny, and nerdy. I smile a lot, even when I'm nervous. And, I love to laugh :) I grew up in Orange County, California. I moved to Philadelphia in 2004 for med school and have been here since. I'm a resident here now and it's awesome! These two environments are completely different, but I have adjusted and learned to love aspects of both. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, good food, and good company/conversation. When it comes to dating, I am no mind-reader or game-player. I like good, family-oriented, honest guys... and if he likes me, he should tell me because I am very unassuming. I respect those who are humble, confident, and simple. I like people who are opinionated, but also open-minded. I would like to meet a guy who is able to carry on a conversation, ambitious, but also has a sense of humor and a soft side. I would love to meet someone who loves life and is looking for someone lifelong, and brings happiness to those around him... then we will see what happens!

64 and 98
91 - 71, the team is looking very sharp. I want to see Freel out there around 150 games, with Haynes gone. I have some reasons to believe this year. The Chemistry will be the key. If you want to look for a reason to believe look to Miley and Chambliss.
82 wins
Unless of course, Jupiter and Saturn align with Uranus (he he he - I said Uranus), then it will be 74-88.
And on a lighter note, I will also predit Jung Bong will get at least one single this year, then we can all say, "Despite a disappointing 5th place finish by the Reds, they lead the majors in Bong hits."
And can't you just hear Marty now, "After the Bong hit, several Reds players couldn't stop giggling, while munching down sunflower seeds 12 at a time."
I'm going with 60-102, here's why:
*** VERY inexperienced in the starting rotation (no star pitchers)
*** Junior is already on his way to another injured season
*** Kearns may be going through a sophomore-like season
*** our bullpen is VERY GOOD, but definitely not great or superb
*** we are slow up the middle of the infield
*** Casey has been declining offensively every year
*** the Reds will likely trade the better players at the All-Star break
*** we have next to no bench
*** we made no acquisitions in the off-season that will make an impact this year
I am going to go with 71...crappies that is, first day, with the biggest of the week besting 3 pounds. I have no idea how many wins the Reds will net though, well at least not until trader dan is done.
Good luck.
I just don't see them being able to stay healthy enuf to win more.
This is not the Boone & Bowden show anymore. That should be good for 15 more wins by accident....... ;)
MAKING A PITCH: The Reds entered Sunday seventh in the National League in pitching so far this spring with a 4.44 ERA.
Even more impressive is the starting pitchers' ERA of 3.89
Reds win 87 games 2nd place.
70 wins
71-91. I think there will be as many questions after this year, as there are before it.
70-92 and that is being optimistic. :pray:
Don't drink the water and maybe you can avoid that :)Quote:

The Class of '57
I'm taking the rest of this week off from blogging. If there is ever going to be a new Elderbloggers List and some other fixes needed to the backend of Time Goes By, this is the only way to get it done – relieve myself of turning out daily posts for awhile.
Everything at The Elder Storytelling Place is new this week and I'll leave you a little something here to keep it all going until I get back.
Today, it's song Peter Tibbles sent. The Statler Brothers singing The Class of '57 - one year before me – recounting what happened to the members of that class.
Statler Brothers - The Class of '57
When did you graduate from high school? Do you know what happened to your classmates?
At The Elder Storytelling Place today, Arlene Corwin: Even Pain Takes a Rest
Posted by Ronni Bennett at 05:30 AM | Permalink | Email this post
I graduated in 1943 and I still keep in touch weekly with one classmate and with others once a year. We were a hardy bunch and will be holding our 70th High School reunion next summer or fall. It's iffy whether I will attend or not because it's held in Colorado Springs and flying is not my favorite thing to do these days.
I graduated in 1954 and have contact with only one member of my class. I did attend the 50th reunion in 2004 despite living in several different states for most of the years since I graduated.
Many of the attendees at that reunion had not moved very far away from Pasadena, CA and some seemed to maintain closer contacts than I have.
Graduated in 1961. I have connected with three friends on Facebook, and for our 50th reunion (the only one I went to), we four had a table together, with our spouses, which made it fun!
Instead of graduating from High School, got my first MRS.
Graduated,with honors from college at age 51. After 2 more marriages and divorces. Then hit the road as a Full Time RV'r.
That life is still happening!
What a great song! And this line sums it up really well for me:
" . . . and things get complicated when you get past eighteen."
I was high-school class of '55. The Korean War was winding down, the Cold War was in full of sound and fury, not to mention fear, loathing and paranoia over Communists lurking.
My father, a blue-collar oil-field driller with a ninth-grade education and a Depression persona, thought I would follow him to seek that good money, $2.35 an hour with no benefits. Instead I achieved an appointment to Annapolis, spent the next 26 years in the Navy and then had a second career as an engineer.
Forest Gump was right, life is like a box of chock-lets. :smile:
well, I guess I have to respond, because I was in the class of '57, and graduated that year from Eastern High School in Baltimore, at that point an all-girls' school. I was so eager to be free of high school and on to college that I think I never looked back. Except to keep in touch with one friend whom I had known since elementary school, and we are still close even though we live far apart, she in NY, I in MN. I also remember going back once to Eastern for some reason or other and feeling all the constraints I had felt when I was there as a student. I was just looking forward in those days -- and felt no nostalgia at all.
This morning a Facebook friend posted this quote from Joan Didion: "We are all well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not."
Two hours later you "blind-sided" me with the "Class of '57", which always makes me teary! Thanks, I guess.
In my Class of 58 at a small- town Minnesota high school, we thought of all schoolmates
as classmates. Still, I haven't stayed in touch, though I continue to live within 20 minutes from the
hometown. Go figure!?
1955 - Read about a few of my classmates on Classreport.org. Haven't seen any of them since 1966 at which time I ran into a classmate in a grocery store 1/2-way across the country from where we had last seen one another.
I graduated in 1958 in a class of almost 700! There have been regular reunions, and someone started a class web site about 10-12 years ago. These days, most of the news concerns classmates who have died. We're having a 55th reunion in September here in Albuquerque -- at the 50th, we decided we'd hold reunions until one person is left. BTW, I am still very good friends with several high school chums, none of whom live closer than 800 miles away!
I guess I'm the youngster here today with the class of '62. One difference we have is that our "years" correspond to the calendar year (summer vacations are the end of December, January and a bit of February). I went to two high schools, one in the country for the first three years and the rest of the time in the city. Oh, another difference is we have primary school (years 1 to 6) and high school (years 7 to 12), none of this middle school nonsense.
I've kept in touch with only one person from the later school, but about half a dozen from the earlier one. Maybe people make more of an impression when we are younger.
Class of '57. Half the young women in my class were married and parents by age 20. Not me, though
Class of '61, all girls, 50 year reunion was in 2011. 1/3 were dead. Mainly breast cancer.
None of us had changed that much. Some had married wealthy men. Most were very glamourous, Laboutin shoes as tall as your knee, high breasts on display and mostly very blonde heads and tight, tight dresses.
I was still the hippy and had travelled the furthest to be there.
Finally graduated after a 6 year "sabbatical" in the USMC. Class of '59.
Sacramento High, 1954. Lost touch with classmates after marrying in '56. Had many life changes, 4 kids, two more husbands, college degrees, short career, 9 years sailing the seas, and stuff. Landed back in No. Cal. in 2000, did the 50 th reunion in '04 and reconnected with one special friend. These days, reunions have given way to funerals for times to get together. Sigh...
Graduated from a town in Minnesota in 59 - didn't go to any reunions, although I have continued to stay in contact with 6 of my high school friends and we get together about four times a year....My class also started having a class brunch once a month and I started going to that...really interesting and if I could just recognize people.........It is good to make contact with people that one hasn't seen in 53 years!!
My class of '53 had 77 grads. I'm in touch with a half-dozen via blogging and e-mails. Haven't been to many reunions--too many old people at them lately. Our 60th is coming up this fall. May relent and attend this one just to see how many are left standing.

I was on the bottom floor right next to the ext door & across from the stairs. It was EXTREMELY loud. I heard every person coming in & out / up & down the stairs. There was a family staying above me. Their kids were up till 1am & then up at 6am. No sleep!
Hospitality was great. Breakfast was perfect!! Great deal.
soft water, nice breakfast, free newspaper.
bathmat for showering, very slippery.should consider 'low rate' shower heads.
Hotel staff
good room size
no breakfast
All the above combined.
the cleanliness overall was outstanding. All the staff we met were very helpful and just pleasant to talk to about anything. They went out of their way to help us find places or how to get anywhere in the Austin area. we will definitely return to HIE.
Really didn't have anything that we didn't like, it was a pleasant stay and well worth the monies spent.
Customer service, cleanliness, and room were excellent.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has established a telephone hotline for anyone wishing to report sexual misconduct allegations against Mayor Bob Filner.
Filner, battling accusations of sexual harassment of staff members and constituents, insists his behavior, while deplorable, is not sexual harassment and that he is being denied due process by having anonymous allegations made against him.
Join us at 9 a.m. when we talk with Times reporter Tony Perry about Filner's refusal to step down and the continued pressure on him to do so.
Filner said he's fine with the idea of the Sheriff's Department hotline because it might lead to an objective investigation rather than just "press conferences and innuendo."
If an investigation is warranted, the Sheriff's Department would be the lead agency, not the San Diego Police Department, which reports to the 70-year-old Democrat, officials said.
Ten days ago, three former supporters of the mayor held a news conference to accuse him of sexual harassment and demand his resignation. Filner responded by apologizing for crass behavior toward women and promising to change. He also apologized to any women he has offended.
But he has refused to resign and has given indications he plans to fight any attempt to oust him.
Announcement of the hotline came as three dozen people rallied outside City Hall to talk about their efforts to recall Filner and seek volunteers to gather the signatures necessary to put a recall on the ballot.

Here is another quote he gave the press:
Takei, a Japanese-American who lived in a U.S. internment camp from age 4 to 8, said he grew up feeling ashamed of his ethnicity and sexuality. He likened prejudice against gays to racial segregation.
"It's against basic decency and what American values stand for," he said.

Geographic Range
Pusa caspica, Caspian seals, are one of the most numerous and widespread of northern pinnipeds. They are only found in the world's largest inland body of saltwater, the Caspian Sea, which is located in a small part of the Paleartic region, between the countries of Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhastan. Caspian seals migrate to different parts of the Caspian Sea during different seasons, however they never leave the landlocked Caspian Sea. From May to September most Caspian seals live in the southern part of the Caspian Sea. In autumn, they migrate north to the ice sheets for the birth of their newborn pups and breeding season. ("Seal Conservation Society", 2001; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981; Wikipedia, 2006)
There are various ideas to explain how Caspian seals began inhabiting the Caspian Sea. One theory is that they are direct descendants of ringed seals (Pusa hispida). During the Quaternary period, when there were glacier ice sheets, ringed seals migrated south. When the ice retreated seals were left isolated in the Caspian Sea. Others argue that Caspian seals originally occupied an inland area of the Paratethys Sea during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs. Other researchers argue that ringed seals are derived from Caspian seals and eventually migrated north to the Arctic. (Ridgway and Harrison, 1981; Wikipedia, 2006)
- Biogeographic Regions
- palearctic
Caspian seals live in the temperate region of the Caspian Sea on islands or fast ice sheets. This landlocked, saltwater sea is 100 ft (30.84 m) below sea level and at latitudes of 37 to 47 degrees north. Caspian seals can also be found in estuaries. The mouths of the Volga and Ural rivers are the most popular of these estuaries. ("Seal Conservation Society", 2001; "UNEP World Conservation", 2004; Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)
During winter months Caspian seals live in the north on ice caps. There, females give birth and nurse their young. A small portion of the population breeds farther south in the winter on islands such as Ogurchinsky, near the Turkmenistan coastline. These breeding areas tend to be in protected places like pressure ridges away from the wind and predators. Unlike their closest relatives, ringed seals (Pusa hispida), Caspian seals do not give birth in lairs (holes in snow drifts); this is said to maybe be an adaptation to ice that is not as stable as Arctic ice. During the spring and summer months, Caspian seals migrate south to live on sand banks or rocky areas, usually on islands and usually not on the main coastline. The southern part of the Caspian Sea has deeper water where seals may dive up to 50 meters. ("UNEP World Conservation", 2004; Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)

Physical Description
When Caspian seals are born, they have a coat called a lanugo, made up of long white to silver gray fur. The lanugo helps keep pups warm until they develop blubber. Newborn pups are between 64 to 79 cm in length and weigh about 5 kg when born. After 2 to 3 weeks, the lanugo begins to shed and is replaced by dark gray hair; this process takes 6 to 8 weeks. It's possible that, when pups are weaned at a younger age, they may become smaller adults. ("Science and Conservation of Ice loving Seals", 2002; Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)
Adult Caspian seals are one of the smallest pinnipeds in the "true seal" family (Phocidae). Adult Caspian seals vary in size and appearance. Males grow to 1.5 meters in length, which is slightly larger than females, who reach 1.4 meters. Both males and females have grayish-yellow to dark gray fur coats with a lighter underbelly. Males tend to be darker with dark spots over the entire body, whereas females are lighter in color with lighter spots on the back and not on the belly. The spots of Caspian seals can also be encircled by light colored rings. Both males and females have relatively short flippers with moderate sized claws on their fore flippers and shorter, narrower claws on their hind flippers. Adult Caspian seals have a dental formula of I 3/2, R 1/1, and PC 6/5. ("Caspian Seal", 1984; Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)
The closest relatives of Caspian seals are ringed seals (Pusa hispida), the skulls of both are similar morphologically. However, unlike those of Caspian seals, the bodies of ringed seals are covered with light rings against a dark background. Both species are similar in size and have a relatively long narrow snout. These two species do not inhabit the same areas, being separated by 1600 km. (Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)

Both male and female Caspian seals are monogamous. There seems to be no fighting for a mate among breeding seals. (Nowak, 1964; Reeves, et al., 2002)
- Mating System
- monogamous
In late autumn, Caspian seals migrate to the northern part of the Caspian Sea where the water is shallow and frozen. Caspian seals give birth in protected areas on ice sheets after a gestation period of about 11 months. There is no evidence to support this currently, but researchers believe that since there is a long gestation period, there is a delay in implantation of the egg. Annual pregnancy rates are normally between 40 to 70 percent, but are currently at an all time low of 30 percent. This maybe due to pollution. In late January to early February, each female seal gives birth to one pup. Female pups become sexually mature after 5 to 7 years, male pups become sexually mature after 6 to 7 years. Newborn pups are not fully grown for 8 to 10 years after they are born. Breeding begins a few weeks after the birth of last years' pup, in late February to mid March. Breeding occurs after weaning of newborn pups but can begin while pups are still nursing. After the breeding season and molting in late April, the weather in the north starts to warm and the ice begins to melt. Caspian seals then migrate back to the southern part of the Caspian Sea. The southern part has deeper, colder waters where seals spend the summer months. ("Phoca caspica", 1990; Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)

There is no available information about the parental care of Caspian seals, except that newborn pups are weaned after 4 to 5 weeks of lactation. Given that Caspian seals are asocial there may be no collaboration with other seals in raising newborn pups. In their closest relatives, ringed seals, as well as other seal species, males leave females soon after mating and do not help raise the newborn pups. Females will leave newborn pups to forage for short periods of time. (Reeves, et al., 2002; Ridgway and Harrison, 1981)

In the wild, Caspian seals live to be on average about 35 years old; however, some have been recorded to live 50 years. Males have relatively short lives, around 26 years. Caspian seals are not usually found in captivity except for a few zoos in Russia. There is no evidence of their life span in captivity. ("UNEP World Conservation", 2004; Reeves, et al., 2002)

Caspian seals tend to live in large groups during the mating season in summer and winter months. At other times of the year, these seals are solitary. There is little else known about their behavior. (Reeves, et al., 2002; Wikipedia, 2006)
Caspian seals are shallow divers, typically diving 50 meters for about one minute, although scientists have recorded Caspian seals diving deeper and for longer periods of time. After foraging during a dive, they rest at the surface of the water. (Reeves, et al., 2002; Wikipedia, 2006)
- Key Behaviors
- natatorial
- diurnal
- motile
- migratory
- solitary
Home Range
Home range sizes are unknown. ("Caspian Seal", 1984)
Communication and Perception
Little is known about communication in Caspian seals. They are solitary in winter months, in summer months they make aggressive snorts or use flipper waving to tell other seals to keep their distance. (Reeves, et al., 2002)
Food Habits
Caspian seals are primarily piscivorous. They eat a variety of foods depending on season and availability. Clupeonella (kilka) is the most abundant food source in the Caspian Sea, accounting for 70% of their diet. When Caspian seals inhabit shallow waters in the northern part of the sea (autumn and winter months), they prey mostly on sculpins, gobies, and crustaceans. While in the southern part of the Caspian Sea (deep waters), during the summer months, they eat herring, roach, carp, sprat, and smelt. When Caspian seals live in estuaries, they eat large amounts of the freshwater species Sander lucioperca. Other prey include shrimp, crab, silversides, and asp. ("Phoca caspica", 1990; "UNEP World Conservation", 2004; Reeves, et al., 2002; Wikipedia, 2006)
- Animal Foods
- fish
- aquatic crustaceans
Besides humans, the two other predators of Caspian seals are sea eagles and wolves. Sea eagles snatch up newborn pups soon after they are born, during lactation their mortality rate is around 22%. In the northern part of the Caspian Sea, wolves will kill seals lying out on islands. (Reeves, et al., 2002)
- Known Predators
- sea eagles (Haliaeetus leucoryphus)
- wolves (Canis lupus)
Ecosystem Roles
Caspian seals are the only mammal found in the Caspian Sea, and they are near the top of the food chain. They eat many different types of fish and crustaceans. If seal populations decrease, the number of fish may increase. Seal population density may also affect the numbers of their two predators, wolves and eagles. ("Phoca caspica", 1990; Reeves, et al., 2002)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
For the past 200 years, humans living around the Caspian Sea have killed seals for their blubber and for the lanugo fur of newborn pups. Currently around 60,000 Caspian seal pups are caught annually for their fur. Some ecotourism is increasingly focusing on these animals, which involves taking ferries out to view them. ("Seal Conservation Society", 2001; "UNEP World Conservation", 2004; Nowak, 1964; Reeves, et al., 2002)
Hunting Caspian seals in the past has been intense. For example, between 1933 and 1940 an average of 160,000 seals were caught each year. In 1940, when the hunting of Caspian seals was first regulated, there was still an average of 50,000 to 60,000 caught each year. In 1970 restrictions were increased on the northern ice allowing only 20,000-25,000 pups to be killed. However, when the Soviet Union collapsed, these regulations were not enforced. In addition, the weak Soviet Union contributed to a large increase in illegal killing and poaching of Caspian seals. ("Seal Conservation Society", 2001; Reeves, et al., 2002)
- Positive Impacts
- food
- body parts are source of valuable material
- ecotourism
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Caspian seals do not negatively affect humans. They may take some fish, but these are not typically fish that are economically important.
Conservation Status
According to International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red list of Threatened Animals, Caspian seals are identified as vulnerable. This is for several reasons: loss of food by commercial fishing, toxic pollution, habitat destruction, human disturbance, disease, and commercial exploitation. In addition to a few regulations limiting the amount of Caspian seals caught each year, adult females are also protected during the breeding season. ("Science and Conservation of Ice loving Seals", 2002; "UNEP World Conservation", 2004; Nowak, 1964)

I'm having some problems with making my tests insert fake data in my database. I've tried a few approaches, without luck. It seems that Global.onStart is not run when running tests within a FakeApplication, although I think I read that it should work.

And in my test code:

Then I use
running(fakeApp) within each test.
plugin.InsertTestDataPlugin was another attempt, but it didn't work without defining the plugin in

Should any of these work? Have anyone succeeded with similar options?

The Philadelphia Eagles said goodbye to Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rogers-Cromartie and hello to Cary Williams, but one cornerback that has to take the next step in his development in 2013 is Curtis Marsh Jr.; you remember Curtis Marsh right? The third round pick from the 2011 draft class of the Eagles. Well he has been buried in the depth chart, because of guys like Asomugha and Rogers-Cromartie. However he will have to shine for the Eagles to have a quick turnaround this season... Read more

Senate Bill 12, proposed by Sen. Johnny Nugent of Lawrenceburg, would allow students to carry guns on college campuses. Only the naive, the fearful or the fanatical could believe that arming students on the streets will make them safer.
This is not a Second Amendment issue; it has nothing to do with gun ownership and defense of the home. Such legislation would rob the police of the means of disarming suspicious persons who could be a threat to the peace until they acted. Furthermore, reason tells us that increasing the number of guns on campus (on the streets in general) increases the probability of violent gun-related incidents by drunken, enraged or excessively fearful students.
In the end, an unbalanced student on a rampage is unlikely to be deterred by the threat of harm by others and many end up killing themselves anyway. Though we might feel safer packing heat, the reality is that we would all end up being less safe.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 7/12/12
The Florida Panthers, right now anyway, don't look much different than they did last season. Gone is defenseman Jason Garrison, replaced by Ottawa's Filip Kuba. Mikael Samuelsson went to Detroit, and Florida signed Peter Mueller from Colorado to replace him. As of now, Florida will go into the season with the same goalie tandem in Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen with most of its forwards and defensemen back to defend the franchise's first division title. Florida signed Kuba and George Parros on July 1, then didn't add any other free agents until signing Mueller to a one-year deal on July 12. Mueller has missed big portions of the past three seasons because of concussions, but general manager Dale Tallon said that Mueller passed all of his medical evaluations and has been cleared to continue his playing career. If Mueller can stay healthy as the Panthers hope, they may have landed themselves a nice player for little risk, as they gave him a one-year, $1.75 million contract...

close to a small road but hidden from it and very calm. Nice albeit small pool with beautiful setting. Good restaurant and friendly staff. Access to the sa riera beach is walking distance but not too close so a bit long with a baby car for example. Room was small and a bit expensive as a "superior" standard. Quiet and peaceful.

Dakar budget

Hi KK,
I worried that my transparent approach to explaining the true costs would perhaps elicit this kind of post. I agree that it's crazy amounts of money, but there is so much interest about Dakar on ADVRIDER that I thought I could help shed some light on the true costs.
One thing to keep in mind is that the race gets such great media exposure that it is actually pretty easy to get a large part of the race sponsored. Look at Patrick Beaule or Pyndon - in Pat's case, he covered 70% of his budget with sponsorship/support. I bet Pyndon did very well as well. So the numbers I'm quoting are the total budget but not the total spend.
You mention that it's one race, but in fact it's 70 hours of racing (typical day is 4 hrs of liason and 6 hrs of racing, x 14, with 2 easy days on day 1 and 14). When I raced hare scrambles, it was a 2 hr race, so it would take 4 seasons of racing to do the same amount of hours. So in a crazy way, it really is the "race of a lifetime".
I respect what you wrote and I have to tell you that I feel very fortunate to be able to afford to be there. When you drive through the poorer parts of SA, that feeling is even stronger, to the point of feeling guilt about it (i.e. "hmmm...what if all the $$ being spent on this race went to fixing up this village/city"). But in the end, men are men because we have crazy dreams and we push ourselves to achieve what doesn't seem possible.

With election results still pouring in, Democrats hoped to ride a political wave and pick up at least one new seat in the Colorado Senate on Tuesday night.
"I think we're going to do pretty well. We certainly will retain our majority and increase it by a seat or two," said Senate President Peter Groff, D-Denver.
Republicans, though, remained confident.
"We think we're going to hold the seats we have, and we think we'll pick up one to three," said Sen. Mike Kopp, a Littleton Republican. "If the election gods smile on us, we get three. If not, one."
Democrats took control of both houses in 2004. They had held a 20-15 majority in the Senate, but with only 18 votes needed to control the upper chamber, Republicans had hoped to flip at least three seats.
All eyes were on the battle for Senate District 19, which had been held by Sen. Sue Windels, an Arvada Democrat being swept out this year by term limits.
With 47 of 68 precincts reporting, Democrat Evie Hudak was leading Republican Libby Szabo 48 percent to 46 percent.
Hudak is a member of the State Board of Education, while Szabo is a party activist and mortgage broker.
There are about 4,000 more registered Republicans in the district than Democrats, but unaffiliated voters in the district outnumber Democrats. Republicans had put the seat on their wish list.
The campaign had been dominated by mailers from 527 tax-exempt groups that don't directly advocate for a candidate but can attack his or her opponent.
In one mailer, a 527 group called Coloradans for Change attacked Hudak for her expenses while serving on the state board.
Hudak defended her expenses — which totaled $11,316 one year — saying they were for conferences and meetings legitimately related to her job serving on the board.
Hudak, 57, of Westminster, is serving her second term on the state school board.

Meanwhile, a mailer from a 527 group called 21st Century Colorado accused Szabo of wanting to ban all abortions and eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood health services and of opposing embryonic stem-cell research.
Szabo, 44, of Arvada, did not answer questions about wanting to ban all abortions, while she did say she was against Planned Parenthood receiving taxpayer funding and opposed stem-cell research on fertilized eggs.
Most recent campaign-finance reports showed Hudak had raised $154,282 to Szabo's $115,739.
Another key race has been the battle for Senate District 23, in which Republican Sen. Shawn Mitchell of Broomfield was defending his seat against Democratic challenger Joe Whitcomb of Westminster.
With 51 percent of precincts reporting, Mitchell appeared to have a comfortable margin, leading Whitcomb 55 percent to 44 percent.
About 35 percent of voters in the district are registered Republicans, while Democrats make up about 27 percent. Unaffiliated voters make up 37 percent.
While 527 groups had been involved in the race, the contest was notable for attacks on Whitcomb over restraining orders issued against him 14 years ago by an ex-girlfriend. Whitcomb has said he was only 25 years old at the time and was trying to win back a woman who had left him.
Whitcomb, 39, a lawyer and former Army Ranger, had attacked Mitchell as too extreme for the district.
Mitchell, 45, a lawyer, served six years in the House before being elected to the Senate in 2004. He said Whitcomb's views were too liberal for the district.
Most recent campaign-finance reports showed Mitchell had raised $106,383, while Whitcomb had raised $125,515.
In another hot race, Democrats were trying to take a seat from Republicans. Senate District 26 became an open seat after Republican Steve Ward of Littleton decided to run for Congress.
With 80 percent of precincts reporting, Democrat Linda Newell of Littleton, a 51-year-old business consultant, held a razor-thin lead — 50 percent to 49 percent — over Republican Lauri Clapp, 45, of Centennial, a former state representative.
In other races:
In Senate District 8, where Republican Sen. Jack Taylor of Steamboat Springs is leaving because of term limits, Republicans tried to keep control of the seat.
With 48 percent of precincts reporting, Republican Al White, 58, of Hayden, now a House member, was leading Democrat Ken Brenner, 54, an ex-Steamboat Springs city councilman, 53 percent to 46 percent.
And in Senate District 25, which had been held by Sen. Stephanie Takis, an Aurora Democrat who is being termed out, Democrats fought to keep the seat.
With 57 percent of precincts reporting, Democrat Mary Hodge, 62, now a House member from Brighton, was leading Republican Robert Hadfield, 39, of Thornton, 54 percent to 45 percent.

What You Can Expect
Stroll around with your guide, admiring highlights like the Our Lady of Lourdes grotto – a favorite prayer spot of Pope Francis and his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI – while learning about the gardens' history. Dating back to the 13th century, the site started as a simple fruit orchard but was extended to a more lavish standard by subsequent papal generations.
After spending roughly 1.5 hours inside the gardens, head inside the Vatican Museums. Marvel at the Bramante Staircase – a sloping spiral structure carved from stone by Renaissance architect Donato Bramante – and then wander around rooms like the Gallery of Tapestries.
Hear tales of Renaissance artists favored by the Vatican like Raphael, and admire incredible Flemish tapestries that were designed by his pupils. Step inside the Gallery of Maps, and gaze in wonder at detailed fresco maps of 16th-century Italy.
Continue to the Sistine Chapel, the pope's private place of worship, to see some of the most influential works of art in the Western world. Panel paintings by the likes of Botticelli and Perugino are incredible but pale in comparison to Michelangelo's attention-grabbing twosome: the Creation of Adam and The Last Judgement.
Finish your tour with a walk around St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican's magnificent domed church. After marveling at Michelangelo's La Pietà and a memorial to Pope John Paul, bid your guide goodbye and exit into St Peter's Square.

The tour was very beautiful and could have been a little longer in order to be able to not have to pass through things so quickly as we did but my granddaughter and I still enjoyed the tour and we will always remember it.

Vermaelen scored in the fifth and final minute of added time, tapping the ball in from close range to send the 60,000 crowd into a frenzy as the Gunners are now within touching distance of fierce rival Tottenham in the last automatic Champions League spot. Arsenal was 10 points behind its fellow north London team only a few weeks ago, placing manager Arsene Wenger under increasing scrutiny and open criticism from fans. Newcastle scored in the 14th minute after Vermaelen gave the ball away, leaving Hatem Ben Arfa free to run down the right and cut inside Kieran Gibbs. The French winger's curving left-footed strike beat goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny at the near post. Arsenal had been dominating the match up until that point, and the hosts showed resilience to reply immediately from the restart. ...
