Rather than boos, Jenkins deserves a tip of the cap on his way out
Geoff Jenkins had places to go Friday night, but he wasn't in a hurry.
With all the uncertainty in the air surrounding his future with the Milwaukee Brewers, he hung around long enough to make sure just about everybody who came up to see him at a live post-game radio show could get their stuff signed before he was whisked away.
Today very well could be the last time fans get to see Jenkins in a Milwaukee uniform. While many will say good riddance on the grounds of a nightmarish 2006 campaign, a cascade of boos (which have often greeted the rightfielder this season) would be inappropriate.
Jenkins doesn't hide from the fact that he has played miserably at times this year. He has never backed down from the stark reality that he has been a streaky hitter -- with a penchant for freak injuries -- his entire career.
There have been times like this year, where it seems like his bats are sinking off the coast of Lake Michigan, but there have also been plenty of times like the end of the 2005 campaign, where Jenkins was seeing softballs being lobbed over the plate.
As angry as you may be at him today, take into consideration that Jenkins has somehow managed to stay with the team that drafted him his entire career. Fans here are quick to point out a franchise history of developing big-league ballplayers, only to let them reach free agency and run off to the first team with a bag of cash.
Jenkins got good with the Brewers and he stuck around. There were others interested when the team offered and he accepted a $23 million contract extension prior to the 2004 season. After playing on some dismal teams the first six years in Milwaukee, Jenkins could see a light at the end of the tunnel.
"I want to be a part of the good years that I see ahead for this team," Jenkins told reporters at the time. "This is my greatest day as a Brewer. This is the organization I grew up in. I have a lot of fun here. Now, I get to be here four more years, and that's exciting."
There were some good times, and there were plenty of bad. The losing has continued, and the streaky play has, too. Some fans still are mad that manager Ned Yost waited as long as he did before finally pulling Jenkins out of the starting lineup. The move didn't last long, as injuries and lack of offense put the former USC Trojan back in his familiar spot.
Jenkins should be applauded today because he didn't throw a fit about it. He responded like most of us would after being publicly shamed by our boss; deserved or not. Instead of throwing a tantrum or demanding a trade like any number of highly-paid, underachieving veterans might do, Jenkins kept his mouth shut about the affair and eventually did the talking with his bat during a torrid September.
This isn't about making excuses for Jenkins. Not in the least. But for a franchise that has had little, if anything to cheer about in the last 24 years, it's worth giving credit where credit is due.
There is no argument that the Brewers cannot afford to pay $8 million to a veteran power hitter that hits under a dozen home runs before Labor Day, especially with an influx of young outfield talent waiting in the wings.
What's done is done, and there is no changing the past. Fans have every right to be upset with Jenkins' lack of production this season. Chances are, he's madder than anybody and doesn't blame you for it.
But when he strolls up to the plate for what could be the last time, catcalls, heckling, and other jeers would be inappropriate. Save that treatment for the Anthony Masons, Gary Sheffields, Gary Paytons and Javon Walkers of the world.

BrewersFan said: TosaJim, Jenkins will be an all star after he leaves? Are you serious? He wasn't an all star on a team without an all star that needed a representative throughout the 90's when he was in his prime. How is he going to be an all star when he had to go on a hot streak to get his average above .260 for the year. Jenkins should not be boo'd, he should be appreciated for his time here, for being a hard worker, and being a "nice guy" but production wins games and the Brewers need better out of a corner outfielder. Especially one that is paid $8 million per year.

Robert said: I still think Jenkins makes a decent platoon player. I hope the Brewers keep him unless they get an offer they can't refuse. If he does get traded, I will wish him the best. He was a class act.

TosaJim said: I agree. As much as I hate to see guys get paid way too much money to play ball, I feel if the team is willing to pay...so be it. Jenkins played hard and always hustled...too bad he wasn't a consistent ball player. We will miss him. He'll leave Milwaukee and become an all-star...mark my word....

Hi, not sure why this is happening, but on the homepage the video shows in normal dimensions, but when click through to single post the video shrinks dimensions considerably. http://www.insurancemyths.ca/
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanceJanuary 9, 2012 at 3:44 pm #60265
You have a featured image size on the single post (the click through) that is not tall enough for the video format. You need to set a larger size for your featured images. The settings are in functions.phpJanuary 9, 2012 at 9:27 pm #60266
Do you mean somewhere here? – because i can't seem to find it.
//register additional image thumbnail sizes that should be generated when user uploads an image:
global $avia_config;
$avia_config = array('width'=>36, 'height'=>36 ); // small preview pics eg sidebar news
$avia_config = array('width'=>130, 'height'=>95 ); // small images for related items
$avia_config = array('width'=>460, 'height'=>200); // medium preview pic for 2 column portfolio and small 3d slider
$avia_config = array('width'=>300, 'height'=>300); // medium preview pic for 3 column portfolio
$avia_config = array('width'=>220, 'height'=>160); // medium preview pic for 4 column portfolio
$avia_config= array('width'=>184, 'height'=>90 ); // small preview pic for feature thumbnails
$avia_config = array('width'=>620, 'height'=>200); // image for pages
$avia_config = array('width'=>620, 'height'=>350); // image for pages (slightly bigger version)
$avia_config = array('width'=>940, 'height'=>390); // big images for fullsize pages and fullsize 2D & 3D slider
/*preview images for special column sizes of the dynamic template. you can remove those if you dont use them, it will save performance while uploading images and will also save ftp storage*/
$avia_config = array('width'=>460, 'height'=>160); // half sized images when using 4 columns

$avia_config = array('width'=>556, 'height'=>150); // three fifth
$avia_config = array('width'=>748, 'height'=>150); // four fifthJanuary 10, 2012 at 12:59 am #60267
Yes, it's this one that you are using right now:
$avia_config = array('width'=>620, 'height'=>200); // image for pages
If you select "medium" for the featured image size you'll get this one:
$avia_config = array('width'=>620, 'height'=>350); // image for pages (slightly bigger version)
For a video you probably want to set the height to at least 400px when its 620 px wide.January 10, 2012 at 7:21 pm #60268

Prince Ali: I will stand again if asked
Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, who last week unsuccessfully attempted to unseat FIFA President Sepp Blatter, has said he will stand again if member associations around the world ask him to.
The Jordanian has instantly become the most obvious man to replace Sepp Blatter in many people's eyes after the 79-year-old Swiss shocked the world when he announced his intention to resign overnight.
Speaking on CNN's Amanpour program, Prince Ali said the news of Blatter's resignation came as a surprise to him.
"I'm in the service of football, I love the sport, I always have. We have to wait and see what happens. This was news to me as it was to anyone else."
The former FIFA Vice President was initially reluctant to declare if he would stand again, but when pressed said he would do so if he was asked.
"Well, I have to talk to (the) national associations and see how they feel about this. I think it's a bit early, but definitely if they want me to do it I will do it.
"I think it (reform) needs to be done from within. I understand that and I will do my best, my only concern is we have to be aware of the possibility of deals being made.
"For me, I will stand and I will fight for the rights of every member association in any case. I have to be careful about this, I don't want to see FIFA going down the wrong way again."

I fly ORD-BKK several times a year. I'm really bummed that UA is giving up NRT-BKK routing. ugh... I'm trying ANA in biz next month and will try to report on that experience. Flyertalk doesn't like ANA economy class at all. Glad I'm not in the back of the bus. Our Christmas holiday trip will be via Europe in both directions, using miles. Already booked before saver rates went up. Lucky for us.
I would prefer skipping NRT now, and have looked at HKG as my connecting point, but prices are three times what they are if you fly HKG instead of NRT! What's up with that!!!!!
I'm a million-miler/1K on United, so Star Alliance is my first choice. I have heard good things about Korean, and also Finnair via Europe. Not sure if Finnair flies through ORD?

Carol, Cheryl and I are on Kauai right now, and HT and Mrs HT are staying with us here. We were talking about you last night - about how you were going to get to Bangkok now since United has eliminated the flight to Bangkok. I'll be interested to hear about your various flight experiences. Cheryl and I are thinking about a Hong Kong/Bangkok combination, but yes, the flights HKG-BKK seem quite expensive.
Report Abuse
Ooooh I wish I were on Kauai right now! We had more snow last night. I'm so tired of winter!
I have 3 BKK trips already lined up for the rest of 2014. April ORD to BKK is paid biz that upgraded to first class, via SFO and NRT. The return in early May is BKK-FRA (Thai A380 in biz)-ORD in first, saver award. July is a paid business r.t. ORD-NRT-BKK and reverse. December holiday trip is saver ORD-FRA-BKK in first class with a return in January 2015 thru Stockholm onThai and SAS in biz on 2-class planes.
I will certainly try to fly via HKG in 2015 and onward if pricing seems to get more in line with NRT flights. Flights via Europe are always more expensive so I only do them with saver awards.

We used EVA Air to Thailand twice. They have an "Evergreen" class - sort of like Economy Plus -- for just a couple of hundred more than economy. Excellent service. At the time, we received Continental miles, but don't know if they transferred as a partner to United when the two airlines merged.

A few quick suggestions: use the Asian airlines whenever you can. The difference between them and United or American is amazing. Economy in THAI or Cathay or Singapore Airlines is as good as Business Class on the US airlines. Once you are in Thailand do NOT fly on Nok Air. This airline is a complete rip off. Although their prices look good, my wife had a bag being held by them for her go missing (stolen by Nok) and one time when I was booking flights and their website malfunctioned and overcharged me by 20% I tried to get it corrected. An hour later all I had for my troubles was a headache. Lots of "I'm sorry's," but no action. AVOID NOK AIR. It's not the deal it appears.
Report Abuse
"Economy in THAI or Cathay or Singapore Airlines is as good as Business Class on the US airlines."
Well, no, economy on Thai, Cathay or Singapore Air have seats just as crammed together as US airlines. There are no economy seats that are lay-flat like Biz class on, United, say. Service is lovely on the Asian airlines. But you wouldn't confuse a 10 hour flight on an Asian airline with a 10 hour flight in Business Class on any US airline.

Re: ANA. I've flown them across the Pacific and intra-Asia and no problem with them whatsoever. Unfortunately, they are reconfiguring some of their 777-300ER to 3-4-3 in economy, which is a shame.
Report Abuse
Discussions on flyertalk are referring to ANA as flying in a sardine can in economy. I have flights in business class coming up. I think they will be OK, although I cannot pick my seat, so hope I am not in the middle. But economy on ANA for a 6' tall person? I don't think so. I would have MUCH preferred staying with United from NRT-BKK in economy plus or exit row seating. ANA exit row, according to flyertalk, has NO room for stretching out. Many folks on flyertalk are changing their flying habits to SIN and BKK by avoiding NRT/HND so as to send a message to UA. Pretty much 75% or more FTers are very unhappy with UA over this decision to stop serving BKK airport.
Report Abuse
Another option is to fly to Singapore and backtracking to Bangkok. Price to SIN from ORD is just under 2k for dates in June. I would do a stopover in Singapore. Nice city.

I was not the person who started this club, but I certainly hate to see it end before it's had a chance to succeed. So, if any of you have ever had a successful book club in your firm, could you please share your ideas and I'll pass them on and see if they can work for us, too.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. -- Gwen
Unfortunately, it's often difficult to pull people away from their work during working hours. For that reason, the book club I'm in has our meetings every 6 weeks immediately after work at a nearby restaurant. At the conclusion of each meeting we vote on the next book selection, as well as the restaurant location. This has become an enjoyable way for coworkers to get together and discuss something other than work, and we also favor the opportunity to try out new restaurants at the same time. We've been going strong for over 3 years now, and with great success.
Gwen - since it appears you club is on a voluntary basis I would say that you have no control. Our office of five including the president meets every other Monday to discuss various projects and general business. We have gone through several books, usually a chapter per meeting; however, these were mandatory. Good luck - I've recommend this to our IAAP chapter, no bites yet.
I'm assuming your group is more formal than informal in that you mention teleconferencing it rather than a casual meeting over someone's home or restaurant. Some things to consider: Is your discussion group an open forum or do you have a set of questions to follow and answer as one reads the book? Consider who your moderator is. Can he/she lead or fascilitate well. What are the selections? Do they meet with a certain criteria? Do you present a scehudle to follow, such as, when to have a certain number of chapters read. These are just thoughts. I work for a Radio station that's owned and operated by Moody Bible Institute. One of our network programs hosts a book discussion, moderated by one of the Institutes professors. If you go to www.middayconnection.org and scroll down to book club, you'll get a glimpse of what we do. Annette

Less Than Zero
Silly, dreary thriller doesn't add up
THE NUMBER 23: Directed by Joel Schumacher. Written by Fernley Phillips. Cinematography, Matthew Libatique. Music, Harry Gregson-Williams. Starring Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen, Danny Huston and Rhona Mitra. New Line Cinema, 2007. R. 95 minutes.
|Jim Carrey's understanding of intertextuality becomes all too apparent
Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) has life by the tail. Literally: Walter is a dog-catcher. By night, he's cradled by his beautiful wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen) and worshipped by a son (Logan Lerman) who actually seems to take him seriously. Walter might appear a little warped at times, a little frayed around the edges — this is Jim Carrey we're talking about — but nothing has prepared him for the journey into madness that awaits. I'm not talking about the book that's ruining his life. I'm talking about starring in a Joel Schumacher film.
Maddeningly inconsistent, Schumacher has perfected an opposite-poles approach to filmmaking, alternating taut films (Tigerland, Falling Down) with floppy disappointments (Dying Young, Phantom of the Opera). His duds don't just fall flat: They explode careers, bank accounts, even bulletproof franchises. Schumacher is widely (and perhaps unfairly) blamed for ruining the first Batman cycle, his Batman and Robin giving off such a graveyard stench that you were justified asking for your money back. (In fact, Randal does exactly that after watching the film in Clerks: The Animated Series.)
In The Number 23, Schumacher hits an all-time low, nearly taking down several talented performers with him. Carrey does his best in this supernatural thriller as a man who's convinced a little red book is writing his life. But he fails to give off the skepticism or doubt that might make later events more convincing. He's hooked, right from the go. Madsen is perfectly cast as Carrey's sunny, stable opposite; she's the tiny voice of reason in the crashing house of mirrors, but she winds up looking bored with it all. The phenomenal Danny Huston (The Proposition) shows up for good measure, but he's wasted here. They all are.
Since it's contractually required, I'll give you the thumbnail sketch: Confident that a mysterious book is telling a darker version of his life story, Walter sets out to find the reclusive author, uncovering all kinds of secrets in the process. Schumacher relies too heavily on editing and art direction to create the mood and tension the muddling script sorely lacks. The technique fails him utterly. The Number 23 zigs and zags between two narratives — Walter's implosion and a comic-book dramatization of the mystery book — until, just for good measure, Walter's nightmares take center stage. Fold in a mysterious dog, a creepy priest and a neglected cemetery — not to mention your standard abandoned insane asylum — and you have one of the weakest films of the new year.
All my teasing of Schumacher aside, without his missteps we wouldn't have Batman Begins. But whereas The Number 23 could have been an average psychological mystery, instead it's a jumbled mess. The Number 23 is too slight, for all of its suggestive imagery — Carrey looks like Bigfoot on the promotional poster — and ends in a resolution so disappointing you may elect not to suffer through it. That's because Schumacher appends a filmed postscript summarizing everything you already don't care about. If you happen to see this film and you make it to the end, you should be given some kind of ribbon for endurance. Most of you will already be outside breathing deeply, grateful for the release from the horrible failure that is The Number 23.

"Intense" winds and swirling debris blasted over part of State Road 207 in St. Augustine on Tuesday afternoon, leaving one business with its roof partially torn off.
Ralph Smith, owner of St. Augustine Tire & Service at 205 State Road 207 near U.S. 1., was in his office around 4 p.m. when strong gusts came through and tore off strips of the metal roof, knocked over a metal car canopy and hurled long pieces of insulation across the road.
He described the winds as "intense" and said they came quickly with swirling debris.
It was enough to send a worker diving for cover, he said. He estimated damages around $75,000 to the roof and canopy.
"It was kind of wicked," he said. "It was like a little tornado."
But what struck the repair shop was not a tornado, said National Weather Service Meteorologist Al Sandrik, who came to the area to survey the damage and determine what happened.
Two strong gust fronts came through at the same time, one from the north and one from the west.
The 60 mph gust that came from the north traveled through the bay doors of the shop that were open on the north side, Sandrik said. Only one bay door was open on the south side, which caused pressure to build like a balloon.
Then it popped.
"In this case it happened to be the roof a building," Sandrik said. "What happened, basically, is it blew the roof up and away."
All the roof debris traveled southwest, which indicates that straight line winds came through. "They were unfortunate enough at that time to have their doors open," Sandrik said.
The open doors allowed the wind to come in, and pressure built up inside the structure, he said.
No injuries were reported, said St. Johns County Fire Rescue Capt. Kenny Krulish. The structure, aside from the roof, was still sound,
But the possibility for a tornado was there.
Marie Trabert, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that once the storm made it to the Atlantic Ocean, the radar detected some rotation in the clouds.
"We did not see anything until it went offshore into the Atlantic, and then we definitely saw a tornado signature," she said.
No one called the National Weather Service to report a funnel cloud during the storm, Trabert said.
And the only other report of damage was an agricultural shed in Hastings.
The storm dumped about 2 inches of rain in and around Elkton and a little less in St. Augustine, Trabert said. Winds at the St. Augustine airport at 30 mph.

In 2010, the anime giant Studio Ghibli released the whimsical adventure The Secret World of Arrietty in Japan. Now the film has a U.S. release via Disney, and aside from the bleached, bland voice dubbing, it's just the kind of warm head trip we've come to expect from the magical kingdom of Hayao Miyazaki.
Miyazaki, the man behind anime gems including Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, has adapted Mary Norton's 1952 children's fantasy novel The Borrowers but handed the directing duties to his Ghibli colleague Hiromasa Yonebayashi.
Arrietty isn't quite as fervently imaginative as Miyazaki's best work; its softness seems more attuned to the family entertainment market than to anime purists. But it's still a visual delight with a sturdy story line and the kinds of bizarre grace notes that define the Ghibli style.
Ghibli specializes in hidden worlds that lie beneath the realm of the everyday. In this case, they also lie beneath the floorboards of the home where young Shawn (voiced by David Henrie) rests in preparation for a heart operation. Down under the house resides a family of "borrowers," miniature people who scavenge for staple items — a cube of sugar, a piece of tissue paper — in the house above.
Arrietty comes to life whenever it gets a chance to play with scale and perspective. The title heroine (Bridgit Mendler) and her father (Will Arnett, playing it very straight) go on daring midnight raids that find them walking along nails in the wall and dodging grasshoppers and a round cat (something of a Ghibli motif). These adventures, bursting with meticulous design detail, are never less than enchanting.
In this world, you need an imagination to come out on top. Shawn has one, and he finds a new friend in his miniature houseguest. Shawn's aunt, voiced by the venerable Carol Burnett, would just as soon call the exterminators; her attitude gives cause for further ruses and escape plans.
Here's my hard-line stance on Western anime adaptations (Arrietty is also getting a United Kingdom release with a host of English voice actors): A dubbed movie is a dubbed movie, whether live action or animation. I understand that you won't make much money asking kids to read subtitles, but a Japanese film with American voices creates a jarring disconnect that takes me out of the zone and creates some awkward moments (why is that American kid reading a book in Japanese?). I enjoyed Arrietty, but I'd also like to see it in its original form.
B+ Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. 94 min. Rated G. In wide release.

It takes a different breed of rider to compete in the Isle of Man TT. Ian Hutchison, above, is one such rider. The new film 'TT3D: Closer to the Edge' documents the unique race, its cast of characters and its inherent dangers.
The opening few seconds of "Closer to the Edge" take you deep into what makes the TT both uniquely attractive – and suicidally dangerous. The onboard camera gives a rider's eye view from the start on Glencrutchery Road, down Bray Hill at 160 mph and on to Quarter Bridge. Seen from this perspective – and the footage, genuinely, is not accelerated for effect – it is truly terrifying. And what's this stretch of road like when it's not a race track? Quite simply an imperfect, urban road threading its way past front gardens and round the entrance to a pub.
To understand the TT it is helpful to do a small piece of practical research. Blink once. In the time it took you to close and open your eyes, a TT rider would have covered slightly more than the length of a school bus.
Now, say: "One and two." That's the old school way of counting one second. In that single second, most TT racers will have ridden the length of a football field.
"Closer to the Edge" is an important film – not only for fans of bike racing but also for motorcycling in general, because director Richard De Aragues has made the first bike movie since the original "On Any Sunday" to have a genuinely universal appeal.
Like "On Any Sunday's" Bruce Brown, De Aragues is a thoroughly sound, professional film maker with a comprehensive understanding of what is needed to make a good movie. With a background based in high budget commercial and promotional films, De Aragues clearly has the technical and artistic skills to produce a thoroughly good product but additionally, and importantly, he is a bike fan. This is evident in the affection he shows to his "cast" of TT superstars.
De Aragues is bold and brave as well. He skates right up to the edge of sentimentality by including scenes of great poignancy and tenderness. I had to hold back the tears as 15 times TT winner John McGuiness described how he mowed the lawn and tidied his house before he left for the TT, "…just in case." And this "just in case" could easily mean death.
There is also a wonderfully gentle and sensitive scene where Bridget Dobbs, the widow of New Zealand rider Paul Dobbs who was killed in the 2010 Supersport race, expresses her thanks to the TT for the pleasure it has given to the family and how much she misses it.
Riding this near to the emotional cliff edge is fraught with danger for any documentary maker, but De Aragues executes his task with consummate grace and dignity.
De Aragues did have one enormous slice of luck in having Guy Martin as a central thread in the film. Martin is a parody of the "Man of the People" – Bob Dylan with a Superbike.
We follow him from his rural home in central England through arguments with his long suffering sponsor Wilson Craig; arguments with race officials over the validity of his competition license; arguments about riding his race bike illegally through the streets of Douglas and, most dramatically, arguments over breaking a pit lane speed limit incurring a penalty which cost him a place on the podium.
Martin is indulged by De Aragues like a spoilt brat at a birthday party – and the English rider responds with a virtuoso performance of eccentricity. Only when Martin assiduously describes to the camera when and where he masturbates does the fondness and affection for his star become pure sycophancy as we are encouraged to worship the rider's enormous ego.
The Isle of Man TT is a race like no other. Props go to De Aragues for capturing the spirit and passion that surrounds the race in his film 'TT3D: Closer to the Edge."
Ian Hutchinson is a wonderful counterpoint to Martin. The modest, quiet spoken, professional racer simply gets on with the job of winning 5 TTs – whilst Martin sulks, complains, blows up bikes and then crashes in the most spectacular way possible. If De Aragues had been able to cast these characters he couldn't have done better.
Throughout the film there are action scenes which cause you to catch your breath. Conor Cummins bouncing over the top of the Verandah at 170 mph is horrifying – as are the slow motion shots of bikes snaking and sliding between stone walls and alongside groves of utterly immoveable trees – contact with which means certain death.
Throughout the film De Aragues shows courage in his decision making and largely this pays off. American Jared Leto acts not so much as a conventional narrator but more of an omniscient observer – never intrusive and never cajoling the viewer into adopting an opinion. Probably Leto got the job because the film needs to sell in America but his calm, unemotional, slightly distant narration is impeccable – as is his pronounciation of English place and personal names. This calmness is essential. What we don't need is a hysterical, hyperbole riddled tirade telling us how dangerous and addictive is the TT. Leto's almost dispassionate delivery starkly exposes the facts – and this is exactly what is needed.
What does not work so well is the 3D. This visual trickery is fine for cartoons but the narrative drive of this film is so strong, and so elegantly executed, that it doesn't need any gimmicks to help it. The bikes don't look any more real than they appear on conventional film and wearing plastic glasses is an unnecessary irritation.
However, the 3D element is a trivial distraction compared with the pleasure of watching not only the finest motorcycle racing film for decades but, almost more importantly for our sport, a very fine piece of cinema in its own right. Don't miss it.
"Closer to the Edge" is currently negotiating for US release and we will bring you precise details when they are available.

Vivendi's way of life is to provide movies, TV, videos, games, music, and more. After selling its telecommunications assets, which accounted for more than half of the company's business, the French firm is concentrating on digital media, movies, TV, games, and music. Vivendi's media assets include Universal Music Group (UMG) and CANAL+, the top pay-television provider in France, and Europe's largest distributor and producer of films.
Canal+ Group is Vivendi's biggest business, bringing in 54% of revenue. UMG, which gets most of its revenues from recorded music by artists such as Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, LMFAO, and Rihanna, accounts for 45% of revenue. The other 1% is from the Vivendi Village unit, which include Vivendi Ticketing, Wengo (expert counseling), Watchever (subscription video-on-demand), and the Paris concert hall L'Olympia.
Geographic Reach
Headquartered in France, the company is present in 67 countries. France accounts for 45% of revenue; the rest of Europe, 25%; the US, 17%; and the rest of the world, 13%.
Financial Performance
The company's revenue dropped 2% in 2014 from 2013, mainly attributable to a 7% decrease in UMG revenue. Canal+ sales rose 3% and Vivendi Village revenue rose 35% in 2014. Canal+ counted about 680,000 more subscribers in 2014 with strong performance from Africa and Vietnam. The movie division banked on releases such as
The Imitation Game
(winner of the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay), and
to post higher results. Net income, however, jumped 141% higher in 2014 with a big assist from discontinued operations. The company actually posted a loss for the year, but income from the discontinued telecommunications operations more than made up for it.
Vivendi completed its exit of the highly competitive telecommunications business to invest more in media and content. It sold telecom operators SFR to Numericable, Maroc Telecom (in Morocco) to Etisalat, and GVT (Brazil) to Telefonica.
The company added to its entertainment portfolio with several acquisitions.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2015 Vivendi began negotiations with Orange to acquire an 80% stake in Dailymotion, a video-streaming website, for about $235 million. Vivendi would help Dailymotion accelerate its growth internationally and to enhance its content.
Vivendi's Canal+ Group acquired a majority stake in Studio Bagel, the top comedy channel network on YouTube in France, in 2014. Also in 2014 UMG acquired the British company Eagle Rock Entertainment, a producer and distributor of music programming for DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital TV and media.

Directed By: Neil Berkeley
Genre: Documentary / Comedy
Run Time: 101 Minutes
MPAA Rating: NR
Origin: USA
A kindred spirit to nerds everywhere, writer-comedian Dan Harmon has achieved celebrity via the hit series "Community," but cut his teeth writing for shows such as "The Sarah Silverman Program" and the Jack Black/Ben Stiller pilot "Heat Vision and Jack." After being fired from his signature creation, Harmon hits the road with his popular podcast and performs live for his cult-like fanbase across the country. Known for his wit, cynicism, and disarming vulnerability, this documentary finds Harmon bathed in the adoration of his fans as he confronts his personal demons and comes out on the other side. From acclaimed filmmaker Neil Berkeley, and featuring past and present collaborators Sarah Silverman, Jack Black, Allison Brie, Joel McHale and many more, this film tells Harmon's story with unabashed candor -- showing his highs, his lows, and everything in-between.

TrollCon East Day 1
Just got back from the first day of TrollCon East, it was a lot of fun. All Things Fun is a great store, and the owner is super-nice. We did not game tonight, I got to sit at a table with four other people and listen to the guys from Troll Lord Games talk about Castles & Crusades, the gaming industry, and driving across the country. A totally entertaining evening. I also got a digest edition of the elusive Castle Keeper's Guide. It is real, I am holding it in my hands.

On the Road to the Tomb of Horrors
Michael Curtis, at the Society of Torch, Pole, and Rope, has posted a really cool idea for a campaign culminating with a run at the Tomb of Horrors. As soon as I read this it brought to mind an area like the Valley of Kings, full of trapped filled tombs to be plundered. This could be a lot of fun, especially if the game was more Swords and Sorcery influenced and focused on Conan style warriors instead of the classic party set-up. This would require that the referee has thought the traps all the way through so that the players could reason through avoiding/disarming them (this will not be news to old school players). There are several great books out there with detailed drawings and explanations of the working of traps.

Reviving This Blog
I am going to attempt to revive this blog. Law school is taking less of my time now that it is drawing to a close, and I have a lot of stuff built up that I can write about. I also have some projects that I have started working on that I will cover here. They are all intended for my personal use, so I will offer them here for anyone else who wants to tinker with them or comment on them.
- @ttack: A stripped down version of early fantasy role-playing games that will emulate the play in a roguelike. It will focus on random item identification, random dungeons, and solo/referee-less play
- Inspired by my latest read-through of the LotFP Referee Manual, I have decided to make up a list of unique monsters. I want to shift the enemies in my game away from the standard roster and move towards the unique and mysterious. These will be monsters to be used rarely, that will be completely unknown to the players
- My own detailed wilderness exploration rules. There is likely a long wilderness trek in the near future of my Stonehell campaign. I want it to focus on man versus nature more than random monster encounters. I will need these rules to allow for more detail than what is general included in core rulebooks, but not reach the insanity present in the Wilderness Survival Guide. I will be covering many of the same areas of the WSG but in less detail.
- First: A sci-fi game inspired by '70s sci-fi TV like Space:1999. The game will center in humanity's first faster-than-light ship. The ship was built by a conglomeration of state, super-state, military, and business interests. Each interest will have different objectives it wants to achieve from the exploration mission. The players will play the representatives of those different interests and try to sway a weak captain, while having to work together to survive. While I want to keep the cool silver jumpsuit/mini-skirt aesthetic of the period's shows, I will be limiting aliens to the really alien. No people with funny foreheads.
- I may be running an introductory game soon for people that have never played before. I want to use a vampire, but not the modern angsty and sparkly kind. I want an old-time, aristocrat vampire that literally leaches off the poor folk. I also want the vampire to be a surprise. I want to use LotFP for this.
- A con game involving monster hunting with miniatures. I was inspired by a recent article in Wargamer Illustrated about a medieval monster hunting wargame. I want to do it with a bidding system instead of dice. It will involve a small number of miniatures and terrain. I would like to run it at a con and have the winner take the game home with them.
- A cyberpunk game using old school style rules that features the tunnels under Paris and the 'net as two parallel megadungeons.

NEW YORK — Floyd Mayweather Jr. says Manny Pacquiao is "not one of the sharpest knives in the drawer" and claims he won't face him unless his opponent agrees to take less than half the money.Comment on this story
Speaking at a news conference Tuesday at the Apollo Theater to promote his May 5 bout against Miguel Cotto for the WBA Super Welterweight title, Mayweather said of Pacquiao: "He faces Floyd Mayweather, he's not getting 50-50. Not at all. No one is getting 50-50."
Mayweather said Pacquiao should "take the test," a reference to his demand for random drug testing. Pacquiao sued Mayweather for defamation in December 2009, alleging Mayweather falsely accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs.
Mayweather is to begin a 90-day jail sentence on June 1 stemming from a domestic violence case.

Looters in Egypt managed to break into the Egyptian Museum where they damaged dozens of artifacts and mummies.
Egyptologist Margaret Maitland of the University of Oxford in the U.K. is assessing the archaeological damage from afar by watching video clips from news outlets such as Al Jazeera and reporting her observations on her blog, The Eloquent Peasant.
Using this method, Maitland determined that a wooden boat smashed by the looters in the Egyptian Museum is over 4,000 years old. She also identified two King Tut statues that had been damaged.
"When I saw the video footage from Al Jazeera from inside the Museum, I instantly recognized the Tutankhamun statues," Maitland told National Geographic News.
"I almost couldn't believe my eyes, though, so I instantly wanted to look it up and make sure of what I thought I was seeing. … I think a part of me kind of felt that if I could figure out what had been damaged, then by piecing together that information I could somehow piece together the artifacts again."

CHICAGO -- Mike Tapper has a theory about music and fishing on his boat. The music should be rock 'n' roll. It should be played loudly, and if you want to catch salmon you should play the salmon's favorite songs.
This explains why some of the Eagles' greatest hits reverberated as Tapper steered the N'Pursuit out of the Indiana Harbor Yacht Club in Gary on a midsummer morning. Early fog mixed with some sun, but the sound of music held up well on Lake Michigan.
"They love the Eagles," Tapper said. "They like Led Zeppelin even more.
"When it slows down we get out Ted Nugent."
A mix of Illinois and Indiana fishermen gathered on Tapper's boat. We began in Indiana waters, but for deeper depths we were traveling toward Chicago. Lake Michigan alternates between beauty and beast behavior, but this day was calm. The waves were only 1-footers, and when Tapper said we were going to "go with the wind," the first thought we had was: How?
"There's not much, buddy," he said.
We were in pursuit of coho salmon, and it was a 55-minute ride to our starting spot 20 miles off of Chicago. The city's big shoulders were only barely visible through the fog. Tapper, a member of the North Coast Charter Association, has operated his N'Pursuit Adventure Charters business for 15 years, and he knows the area.
Tapper is a genial host who enjoys the entertainment (turn up the volume) and fishing aspects of running a 33-foot boat around Lake Michigan. He began arranging six sturdy rods with planers at the rear of the boat, the 25-pound test lines trailing at various distances.
"Let's bob around here and see what happens," Tapper said. "We have enough metal out there to scare 'em. They'll be jumping in the boat giving up."
With the boat sitting in 87 feet of water, it took only minutes for a salmon to bite on one of those hooks. The 5-pounder came straight at the boat, and I reeled it in easily.
"I love the smell of coho in the morning!" Tapper bellowed, paraphrasing a famous line from the movie "Apocalypse Now."
"It smells like victory! I like it when we get the first fish before the rods are out. I don't care if we get another fish. We have something to make the cooler stinky."
Maybe he shouldn't have said that about not getting another fish because the fishing pace slowed down.
For Curt Hicken of Benld in Downstate Illinois, this was a maiden voyage salmon fishing on Lake Michigan, so everything was new and fun, especially when he hooked a fish. Surprise -- he hauled in a lake trout after a marvelous splashing battle.
Mike Zrailka, the first mate, estimated it weighed 6 pounds. Tapper said he should have guessed that it was a 15-pounder.
"It will be tomorrow," I said.
The fish actually weighed 7 pounds.
"Fish grow a pound an hour on this boat," Tapper said.
Hicken said his lack of Lake Michigan experience meant he didn't recognize the trout's species.
"I don't know how to tell these fish apart," he said. "It was bigger than a bluegill. But there's a couple of fish out there, by golly."
Tapper said the fishing was faster a few days earlier when charters seized up to 17 salmon. Zrailka said the key strategy is to catch the "stupid fish."
"I've been trying to do the same thing with wild turkeys, but I haven't found one stupid enough," Hicken said.
Tapper was intrigued by the cooperation of the lake trout.
"If we can get these lakers to go, that would be a beautiful thing," he said.
However, neither the salmon nor the lake trout demonstrated the type of hunger pangs necessary to keep the action going full throttle. Tapper tried purple spoons as lures. He even changed from the Eagles to Led Zeppelin.
"I sure hate to troll across the desert," he said as the fish ignored us for a while.
Cohos participated in the sport at a slightly higher rate than lakers, and Bill Love of Mapleton, Ill., brought in a fighting fish.
"It had a little bit of an attitude," Zrailka said.
"Yep, that's the one I was waiting for," Love said.
Love suggested a superstitious procedure to produce fishing luck. The fisherman should turn his back to the water and toss a quarter over his left shoulder. Love took a coin and flipped. Only it was a nickel.
"I'm out of change," he said.
"How about a dime?" I asked while rummaging in my pockets.
Hicken had a quarter. He wished, he tossed.
"Curt," I teased, "you missed the lake."
More coins materialized. After five deposits in the water, a lake trout bit.
"Somebody got a roll of quarters?" Love asked.
But we were plumb out of change. And tunes too. Yet with eight salmon and lake trout in the cooler, there was plenty to cook up several fine dinners.

Playwrights' POV Issue 8 - "Who's Counting? Playing Hockey with the Boys" by Colleen Murphy
In celebration of International Women's Day, playwright Colleen Murphy has written an article called "Who's Counting? Playing Hockey with the Boys".
"We are writing the classics of the future. There will be a lot of good plays, a few great plays, and probably a lot of not-so-good plays, but the point is we must write them - one after another - creating drama, flooding the market, taking audiences around the world to places they have never been, taking audiences inside our imaginations, inside our cultures, inside the hearts of the characters we create, whether it is a woman growing up in Caledonia in the 1950s or a male soldier in Afghanistan or a female elephant in Asia or a male taxi driver in the Middle East. We must write the present for the future."

this morning on the way to the subway
I saw a Mexican woman negotiating a municipal wheeled trash can, a broom, and a dustbin up the steep hill by my house. She stopped along the way to bend over and collect the rubbish that was caught in some roadside pachasandra. She was at the very least 5 months pregnant, although she had a very thin frame and could easily have been 6 or even 7 months along.

Product Description
Round mold measures 36mm, the mermaid itself 25mm (1 inch) tall.
Using this mold is easy. Just brush on a little bit of water and you're good to go as it is a natural mold release and doesn't react with the mold. I give these molds a background so you don't have to trim around the image which makes molding much easier. Premo clay work best with this type of mold, but if you do use Fimo, then use cornstarch as a mold release by dusting the Fimo with it, rather than the mold. Don't use water with Fimo as it will make the clay sticky.
For this mold I used an oval cutter to create the pendant. You could also use a round of course or cut it square, or diamond and even just shape by hand for a random shape
You will receive one like this, not necessarily the same mold color, but of course this won't affect your sculpted piece. The quality will always be very good as I'll test each mold.
Please allow 1 to 2 days for the creation of your piece.
Sample not included
If you have a design you want translated...I do custom work for both polymer clay as well as for Silkscreens. If you have a black and white drawing ready, message me!
For Tutorial purchases, please download them within 7 days or the link/s won't work and then I have to email you the files. I don't mind doing that but it might take me a day or two to get to your message. So much to do! :D

CHARITY cyclists have pedalled 180 miles from Newcastle to Edinburgh to raise more than £2,000 for a stillbirth and neonatal help group.
The Green Tree Cycling Squad completed the Coast and Castles route to raise £2,128.
Gillon Hopson, Simon Eltringham, Andrew Wilson, Matthew Walton, David Galloway, Ryan Pearson and Marcus Johnson took to the saddle for the challenge, which formed part of a campaign by staff and customers at The Green Tree pub, in Tudhoe, near Spennymoor, for the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity (Sands).
Loading article content
Murrie Venis, landlord of The Green Tree, said: "I had two babies and I decided it would be nice to help a charity which aided those who were not so lucky.
"We have run a number of fundraising events over the last 18-months for the Durham and Wearside Sands' charity branch.
"It'll help the charity to continue providing the much needed support to anyone affected by the loss of a baby either during pregnancy or shortly after birth."
The cyclists took two days to complete the ride and have collected more than £4,000 for the Sands charity over the last 18 months. Last year they did a coast to coast ride which raised £800 for the Great North Air Ambulance.

Album Rating: 4.0RIP. This is my favorite Elliott Smith album. Kind of on the fence between a 4 and a 4.5. I could
never really get into Either/Or for some reason. I haven't really listened to any of the others though
I was listening to Elliott earlier and didn't even realise it was the day that it is. Jesus, the best go too soon.
Album Rating: 3.5Very nice tribute. I knew there was a reason I spun Either/Or earlier, I just couldn't put my finger on it. Gonna listen to this right now.
Album Rating: 4.0Tracks such as "Southern Belle" are what present Elliott Smith with its harrowing and immensely difficult listen.
Seems a little awkwardly worded, unless I'm just reading it wrong. I would consider saying "are what make Elliott Smith such a harrowing and immensely difficult listen..."
A staple of his solo work, Smith vocal prowess was rooted in his ability
Anyway, this was a nice review. I enjoyed reading it and it reminded me to listen to this album because tbh it has been a while since I have listened to any Smith, and when i do, I usually go to my default favorite, Figure 8

Dr. Mac: Price right, but iLife '11 has some glitches
A word of caution on installing iLife '11
Photo, music applications may have a few bugs
Published 5:30 am, Tuesday, November 2, 2010
I think iLife '11, the new release of Apple's digital lifestyle suite, is a winner. It's chock-full of useful new features and a bargain at $49.
Even so, I don't recommend you install it yet. Though there is a lot to like about this update, it has a couple of issues I consider deal-breakers.
I've been testing the three updated iLife '11 applications — iMovie, GarageBand, and iPhoto - quite a bit since I received them a week ago. I installed them on four Macs - two desktops and two notebooks - and although most of my testing on most of my Macs went smoothly, I encountered a couple of glitches. Furthermore, a quick look around the Web reveals that other users are also having problems.
I'm particularly concerned about issues with iPhoto '11. The first time you launch it you're informed that your photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version, that your library won't be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade, and that the process may take an hour or more to complete.
The procedure went fine on three of the test Macs but froze on the fourth, so I had to Force Quit. When I launched iPhoto '11 again, I found that my iPhoto Library was totally kaput. It was completely empty, with nary a sign of the 11,000 photos that had been there before.
As you know, I'm obsessive about backing up my data, so I wasn't flustered. I quit iPhoto, replaced the iPhoto Library in my Pictures folder with one of my backups, and launched iPhoto again. This time it worked, and now all four Macs are running iPhoto '11 without a problem.
What bothers me is that many Mac users don't back up at all, and others back up only sporadically. How would you feel if you launched iPhoto '11 and found that every digital photo you've ever taken had disappeared (possibly forever)?
I also had latency issues with GarageBand '11 on more than one Mac. I'd play a note on my guitar but wouldn't hear it for one or two seconds. This makes it difficult to play in time with other tracks and while this glitch doesn't appear to be nearly as widespread as the reported iPhoto problems, there are other users reporting it.
At $49, iLife '11 would be a no-brainer at $49 if not for these bugaboos.
Over the weekend, Apple released an update for iPhoto. Read both support documents - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4431 - before you even think about installing or updating iLife '11.

Jamie Moyer is working his way back to the bigs
Eight months short of his 50th birthday, former Mariners pitcher Jamie Moyer is trying to get back to the big leagues. He's in the Colorado Rockies' camp as a nonroster invitee.
Seattle Times staff columnist
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — On a sun-splashed Friday afternoon, Jamie Moyer, wearing his familiar No. 50 and pushing 50 years old, stared in to catcher Wilin Rosario for the sign.
For the first time in more than a year, Moyer was back at the office — on the pitching mound, facing live hitting again.
"I was a little anxious. I hadn't been out there for a while. It was a little uncomfortable, a little weird," Moyer said. "Then I threw a few pitches, and I was back on the bike again. I'm pleased with today. I'm not excited about it, but I'm pleased."
After undergoing Tommy John surgery on his left arm in December 2010, after all the torture of rehabilitation, after throwing three bullpen sessions last fall as he auditioned for big-league scouts, Moyer threw like, well, Jamie Moyer on Friday, all movement and location. He pitched to contact and wiggled out of trouble.
Eight months short of his 50th birthday, Jamie Moyer is trying to get back to the big leagues. He's in the Colorado Rockies' camp as a nonroster invitee.
He has spent half his life pitching in the big leagues. The Rockies are his ninth organization. Still, Moyer said he felt like he was a rookie all over again, trying to impress the parent club, trying to make a big-league roster.
He said he isn't chasing Satchel Paige, isn't trying to make a point that age is just a number. He just wants to pitch and stay healthy, and when he leaves the game, he doesn't want to do it with his arm in a sling.
"When I was hurt I kept thinking that if I could write it out, the way I was leaving the game wasn't how I would have wanted to write it," Moyer said in the Rockies' plush clubhouse at Salt River Fields. "If I didn't come back I think I'd wonder for the rest of my life. I feel like I can still compete. Now I just have to slowly chip the rust away. This is my opportunity to showcase myself, and my first goal is to make this team."
In his season debut in a Rockies intrasquad game, pitching against hitters half his age, Moyer threw 42 pitches in two innings, allowed three hits, a run and struck out one.
He said he felt great.
"This was a huge hurdle, and I got over it," he said. "I think it's there now. Today (the worry over) this arm thing is over. Today I felt like I could have kept going."
Then, knocking on the fake wooden wall of his locker stall, Moyer said, "I have not had any kind of a setback in this whole process."
In fact, Moyer said he feels as if he's pitching with a "brand-new arm."
"When I threw for teams in the fall, I felt so good I was thinking, 'Wow, this is kind of scary,' " he said. "It was amazing. It felt like when you buy anything new. That kind of feeling. I had a new arm."
His quest is the most inspiring story of the Cactus League. In fact, the only person who doesn't think Jamie Moyer's story is remarkable is Jamie Moyer.
In 1992, after he was sent down to Class AAA Toledo, his father-in-law, Digger Phelps, suggested it was time Moyer got a real job. Twenty years later, Moyer's still pitching.
"I look at this as my job," he said. "This is my livelihood. Last summer was the first summer since I was 8 years old that I didn't play baseball. Forty years of my life in the summertime have been spent playing baseball."
Moyer won 145 games for the Mariners. He has won 103 games since he turned 40. In 2006, his last year with the Mariners, he was seriously considering retirement before the M's traded him to Philadelphia. He was 56-40 with the Phillies, winning 16 games in their 2008 championship season.
He is the oldest pitcher to start an NLCS game and the oldest pitcher to throw a shutout. He has thrown shutouts in four decades, won 267 games and pitched in 686 games. If Moyer makes the Rockies, the new Marlins stadium in Miami will be the 50th big-league park in which he has pitched.
"Having the good fortune to be around this long, those things happen, but that's not why I'm doing this," Moyer said. "That's for you guys to research. I don't think pitching until I'm 50 is the driving force behind this. The main thing for me is that I still believe I can do this.
"Maybe when I'm a little older I'll look back on some of those things and say, 'That was pretty cool.' But if I get caught up in that now I would lose track of what I'm doing. There will be a time and a place for all of that. I think now it's about proving something to myself."
Moyer threw a batting-practice fastball to Tyler Colvin, who lunged at the pitch and nubbed a ball in front of the mound. Quickly, Moyer jumped to toward the ball and threw out Colvin by a step.
It was a purpose pitch designed to put Colvin off balance. This is what Moyer has missed. The chess match of baseball, the science of the game, the cerebral competition. Moyer always has been a professorial pitcher.
"I am who I am," Moyer said. "I'm going to give up hits. I'm going to give up runs. My feeling is, I have to minimize runs scored in an inning and rely on my defense. I have to repeat pitches. I have to change speeds. I'm just hoping I can do my job and fit into the situation. Can I still go out and compete with the kids? I think I can."
That's what this month will determine for middle-aged marvel Jamie Moyer.

Sabbath is the kind of thing that pretty much any metal band can cover with class. The slower bands just slow the things down; the faster bands just pick the more uptempo Sabbath tracks and speed it all up. This one's a pretty excellent example; Neurosis get Children of the Grave and make it sound like one of their own songs, while Soilent do a pretty cool medley and don't screw with anything too much.
The Neurosis one is clearly the best. It's a pretty cool song, and the whole thing sounds just like a Through Silver in Blood outtake. Tribal beats open it up, and the riffs are also very Neurosis-ish. It's covers like this that make you realise that perhaps Sabbath has a very big sonic influence on Neurosis. It's a bit long, perhaps, and while (like the Soilent cover) the vocals are fairly irritating, it's still a pretty enjoyable song. Simple, straightforward huge freaking sludge, certainly hard to resist.
Soilent Green's medley is alright, kind of lacking the huge bass tone that made the Neurosis one so monolithic. Vocals are pretty irritating- never been a huge fan of hardcore-ish vocals over these sort of doom grooves, but it's no big deal. A good deal less heavy then the Neurosis one; it's nowhere near as good but still a pretty enjoyable tune with some tasty riffing; I've always been a huge fan of that "Lord of This World" riff, and it seems that overall these guys picked the songs for the medley well; the amount of flow is decent and the songs are of a high quality.
This probably isn't really worth tracking down but if you're a huge fan of either of these bands it'd be worth getting. Entertaining doom stuff that the whole family could enjoy.

If you want to hit all the candidates' election-night parties in Congressional District 1, you'd better start driving now — or better yet, fly.
It would take a Tucsonan between 10 and 11 hours to drive from Jonathan Paton's party in a Marana pizzeria, to Patrick Gatti's home in Show Low, to Gaither Martin's barbecue at his home in Eagar, to Wenona Benally Baldenegro's get-together in Window Rock and finish up at Ann Kirkpatrick's party in a Flagstaff microbrewery.
Approximate driving distance, according to Google Maps: 555 miles. And of course, you'd have to leave before the first party starts and arrive in Flagstaff as the staff sweeps up.
Congressional District 1 contains a huge swath of eastern and northern Arizona, occupying almost half the state.
It reaches from Cochise County's northern border, across far northwestern reaches of the Tucson area in Pima County, through much of Pinal County, and takes in all of eastern Arizona, across the Apache and Navajo reservations to the Utah border, as well as northern Arizona almost to Kingman and Colorado City.
The candidates hail from much of this broad geography, although no candidate lives in Pinal County, which has the largest number of registered voters of any of the district's 11 counties. (See more on the breakdown of registered voters in this Pueblo Politics item.)
The primary-election party circuit would even go 30 miles further, had Sedona resident Doug Wade not decided to suspend his campaign for the Republican nomination earlier this month.
