The Telluride/Mountain Village Reliability Project:
Loop Feed to bring Better Service Reliability to Mountain Communities
Construction Schedule Information:
Details about road and trail closures will be determined as work progresses. Please check here for updates as they become available:
The construction is part of the Telluride / Mountain Village Reliability Project, which will provide an electric power line loop to connect to existing San Miguel Power Association (SMPA) service lines which currently serve the town of Telluride and parts of Mountain Village. If you happened to be in Telluride or Mountain Village over President's Day weekend, 2016, you'll probably remember the power outage. An electric transmission power pole in Ilium Valley was destroyed by a falling rock, and the transmission and distribution lines were broken.
Because the damaged lines comprised what engineers call a "radial feed," there was no backup. Therefore, residents and businesses had to wait 23+ hours while crews from Tri-State and SMPA worked through the night to re-install the power pole, lines and components.
The event brought renewed attention to an SMPA proposal called the "Telluride / Mountain Village Reliability Project." This project proposed to bury heavy distribution lines capable of backing up the transmission line between the Sunshine and the Telluride substations. This redundant feed would allow one substation to cover the load of the other in case of failure. Moreover, because the new line would be buried underground it would be invisible and invulnerable to such events as the infamous rockslide.
In order to proceed, SMPA needed to obtain permits from several entities and regulatory authorities. After submitting and revising the project plan, the necessary permits were finally issued toward the end of February, 2016.
Next, SMPA selected a private contractor to construct the new distribution line. Now, a construction schedule is being set.
The work will require road and trail closures, and residents will be provided notice on variable message boards, temporary signs, public service announcements via newspaper and radio and postings at each Galloping Goose trailhead. No construction activities will take place during festivals.
The mountain towns were very supportive of operations crews during the long outage; now, with a little more patience, they can feel assured that any future outages will likely be much, much shorter.

With regards to settling on what the best gym workout schedules for men are, it can be difficult to know which the best is for you. Everybody's body responds diversely to exercise, and it can be elusive the best exercise that will help you get fit, get thinner, and manufacture muscle. With a specific end goal to figure out what the best workout for you will be, you have to comprehend what your objectives are for your workout schedule.
Weight Reduction:
Numerous men workout in view of the motivation behind getting more fit, and the workout schedules that you will do to get in shape are extremely particular. So as to get in shape, you require two things:
1. Lots of cardiovascular exercise (Cardio)
- Sufficient weight training
The cardiovascular workout is the only way that you will get your heart pumping sufficiently to burn fat, and the weight training ensures that the fat all over your entire body is being burned and turned into muscles. Cardiovascular exercise is very effective for burning fat, but you will simply lose overall mass and develop a lean runner's body if you don't do sufficient weight training.
Peak Physical Condition:
When it comes to getting your body into peak physical condition, it can be a lot more difficult than simply losing weight. Your body can handle a lot of strain, and it takes a lot of exercise to get into peak condition. You will need to do a lot of circuit training, which is doing a lot of exercises focusing on toning every area of your body, all with very little rest between exercises. An example of a circuit training routine is:
1. Bench Press
2. Squats
3. Pull-Ups Squats
4. Push-ups
5. Dips
6. Lunges
These exercises focus on exercising the different muscles inside your body, all inside a roundabout example. To have the capacity to have the get the most from high-intensity aerobics, you need to permit a greatest of 20 seconds between exercises. Do 20 or 25 redundancies of each exercise to have the capacity to fabricate slender bulk in your body.
Building Muscle:
With regards to building muscle, there is no specific recipe that will work for everybody. Each body responds contrastingly to the exercises, and you have to perceive what works for your body. However, you have to concentrate on lifting an extensive amount of weight, as that is the thing that will really extend the muscles and make them develop. You additionally need to do couple of redundancies, in the vicinity of 4 and 6 for each exercise. Make a point to fabricate each territory of your body uniformly, as you would prefer not to wind up with enormous trunk and shoulder muscles and a powerless center. Ensure that your whole body gets an even workout, and concentrate on building one muscle set each day of the week.
Here is an illustration workout:
– Day 1: Chest
– Day 2: Biceps
– Day 3: Back
– Day 4: Triceps
– Day 5: Shoulders
– Day 6: Core
– Day 7: Legs
These are just a few sample gym workout routines for men, but they are some of the best for anyone, regardless of body type. Choose the workout you want to do, be faithful, and stick with it. Only by working out consistently will you achieve the results you desire.

Hunting For Arrowheads
by Margaret Mary Monahan
The sun was high, the air was cool that day, as my brother and I wandered away from our rented farmhouse, civilization, our family vacation. We trudged across a grassy field where pine trees beckoned, their branches like arms pulling us in. Behind the wall of trees the farmhouse disappeared from view, and we found ourselves cloistered in silence in a little clearing, far removed from our parents and siblings a hundred yards back up the hill.
My pounding heart echoed in my ears like a drum. Behind the lofty pine we sat in the sand and dirt among blueberry bushes, sparse grass in clumps, unearthly quiet but for the wind. Like a graveyard at midnight, but this was the other twelve, the daylit twelve noon. Lonesome winds sighed through the evergreen and lifted their branches with a sifting sound. I could feel spirits all around. After a while we knelt on that deserted ground. Our fingernails clawed the sand. Hunting in the eerie calm, we dug for ancient arrowheads.
[In the confines of memory -- it seems like only yesterday -- I hold fast those sacred stones; crudely hewn, sharpened points I still trace with my thumb.]
After chronicling this precious recollection on Microsoft Word, I emailed it to my older brother who was obsessed with Indian folklore as a boy, and who had granted me passage on that adventure with him. Did I get a surprise when I received his bubble-bursting reply: "I remember," he wrote. "But we did not find any arrowheads that day."
Incidents record differently in everyone's brain. I could swear a small handful of arrowheads bulged in the pocket of my jeans as we hiked back across the field, back to the farmhouse. I much prefer the memory my mind has stored to that of my brother's.
I'm sticking to my story.
Margaret Mary Monahan lives,writes, and remembers in Wilmington, DE.

Remember the Eighties? Sure, we all do...but the Legwarmers don't just remember the Eighties - they relive them. It all started back in May 2001 when Gordon Gartrell and Cru Jones had just seen yet another cover band butcher the decade that they loved, so they decided to do something about it. They assembled a group and vowed to give the world's most hedonistic decade the tribute it deserved. Joined by Chet Reno, Lavaar Huxtable, Roxanne Rio, Capt. Morgan Pondo and Clarence McFly, they locked themselves in the basement with a shoebox-full of dusty 45's and an endless supply of Tab. One year later, the Legwarmers emerged.

I've been browsing the ANimation website for University of Southern California and have found that they produce many experimental animators. There are barely any character animations that have been posted by a USC Animation student from what I have found, and that to me, as someone greatly interested in becoming a character animator, is very disappointing.
I really want to be proven wrong that USC DOES have a great animation program for those interested in a career in Pixar, Disney, or other animation studios. And so, if anyone have known whether or not USC Animation dept. have gained reputation matching its film/cinema school, please let me know! This would help a lot of prospective BA students decide which school should be their new "home" for the next 4 years.
And also, I another question to ask....
I really want to go to Ringling to major in Computer Animation, because their animation program seems to be top notch.
However, USC is also another school I want to study animation at. But I'm afraid I won't develop enough skills to become a competitive professional animator if I attend USC. Though someone did tell me that USC will develop your character and charisma.

Top 10 Sermon Introduction Mistakes
By Eric Mckiddie on Dec 16, 2016
How you get your sermon started matters. While there is lots of room for error in the body of your sermon, there is little room for error in your introduction.
How you get your sermon started matters. While there is lots of room for error in the body of your sermon, there is little room for error in your introduction. It can be the difference between someone being on the edge of their seat or slumped in their seat, between using their phone's Bible app or fantasy football app.
If you hook them with your introduction, you will have their attention for the entire sermon. If you lose them early on, it can be hard to get them back. Here are ten ways you make it easier on your church to check out.
1. Not having an introduction.
Everything in life has an introduction. Buildings have lobbies and homes have foyers. Movies have initial scenes that acquaint us with the characters and plot. Books have forwards, prefaces, and an introductory chapter. Songs have four or eight measures of music before the lyrics kick in. When you propose to your girlfriend, you get down on your knee. Sermons are no different. Have an introduction of some sort.
2. Not hinting at how the sermon is going to impact their lives.
I've heard many sermon introductions in which the point of the text was made crystal clear, but the pastor never acknowledged the people he was speaking to. (I may have preached a couple sermons like that myself.) If our introductions don't clearly show our people how the Bible is going to help them love God, follow Jesus, and be led by the Spirit, we haven't given them a reason to listen to us. Let's not introduce our sermons as if God's word is only profitable for teaching. Let's give our people a preview of how it rebukes, corrects, and trains in righteous, too, right from the start.
3. Using two illustrations.
Doubling up your illustrations is confusing. Either you will illustrate two different points, which makes your audience wonder which one is the main one; or you will illustrate the same point two different ways, which will make them wonder how they are supposed to think and feel about the topic your passage addresses. Pick the best one, and file the other one away for another sermon.
4. Setting up the passage you are going to preach on with another passage or verse.
Like using two illustrations, this confuses people. Which passage is he preaching on?If you have a juicy cross-reference, save it for the body of your sermon.
5. Dumping in too much context.
I've seen this mistake made most often when a team of preachers are sharing the load for a sermon series, but lead/senior pastors are culprits, too. The preacher rightly feels the burden of setting up the context of the book, author, and recipients, but dumps in everything he read in his commentaries into the intro of his sermon. Too much bogs down the flow of your sermon. Provide the context necessary to simply introduce your passage, and then save the rest for when it is relevant to a point you are making in the body of your sermon.
6. Going too long.
The net effect of numbers 3-5 is that you end up with an introduction that is 20% of your sermon. When the intro goes too long, people check out or get antsy for you to move on. Also, you may be already forcing yourself to shorten your last point, which may result in an anti-climactic finish. Better to err on the shorter side for your intro.
7. Using a happily-ever-after illustration.
One of your main goals in your introduction is make your congregation aware of a spiritual problem. Since happily-ever-after illustrations convey the idea that everything is okay, they don't work very well for raising needs. Instead, opt for an illustration that is rich in conflict, and then demonstrate how that conflict is analogous to something they experience, whether they realize it or not. Happily-ever-after illustrations are, however, great for conclusions.
8. Neglecting to warm up your church.
I was actually against this for a long time, until I read Preaching by Calvin Miller. Miller writes:
"'The speech before the speech' is step one in audience bonding…The most important issue of bonding has to do with the first words out of the preacher's mouth. These should not be the first words of the sermon's introduction…These words are the warm approaches to the audience…These words reference the little things in life: the weather, the Super Bowl, the choir which has just sung, the tragedy that has filled the newspaper for the week…Without it, you say to your audience, 'As I see it, what I am about to say is more important than our friendship'" (pp. 186-188).
Just like a spoonful of small talk helps the small group discussion go down, so also a brief word, pastor to congregation, prepares your church relationally to hear what God has given you to say. It's especially true for millennials, but basically true for all people, that when they see the real you first, you gain credibility and they open themselves up to listen.
9. Failing to address the spiritual issue at hand in the passage.
It is very easy to raise an emotional or pragmatic need in your introduction. It is more difficult – and less common – for a preacher to drill deeper into the sinful and idolatrous responses to the emotional and pragmatic problem we face in life. It's the difference between inspirational speaking and biblical preaching.
10. Waiting until the body to point your people to the text.
I'm a stickler on getting to your passage in the intro, and not waiting until the body of the sermon. The reason for this is that I don't want to accidentally communicate that our agenda drives how we go to the Bible. Instead, I want to convey that the Bible raises the issues, and we are simply following where it leads. Going to the passage earlier helps get that across.
Notice that I didn't say being uninteresting. It's too much pressure to be interesting. I've heard plenty of less-than-spectacular introductions that got the job done and made me want to listen. It's much better to have an average introduction than a bad one. And when we try too hard, we usually end up with a bad one.
Those are my top ten sermon introduction mistakes. What are yours? Share them with us in the comments!

Discovering Lecco and its ancient history
Lecco from a fortified village became a town.
In the fourteenth-century Lecco was an important fortress on the eastern branch of Lake Como, when the Adda river represented the main trade road and Lecco a great control point for the communication routes towards north and beyond the Alps.
From the powerful Milanese Visconti's family, whose traces are still visible in Lecco, until the Sforza's, and then Spanish and Austrian domination. Let's discover Lecco's history!
Visit the monument to Antonio Stoppani, father of the Italian Geology directly on Lecco waterfront, with Resegone on the background.
Piazza XX Settembre in the old town center of Lecco. Here you may visit the Viscontea Tower, Palazzo della Paure and see where Stoppani was born.
Enjoy the lakefront of Lecco and the great views of Lake Como. There's a particular point to admire the sunset. On the way some sites of interests.
Monument to Mario Cermenati in Lecco. In the square overlooking the lake Lecco we see the marble statue of the cofounder of the Civic Museums of Lecco.

Lecture: "Don Quixote: Staying Alive"
As part of the 2013 Henkels Lecture Series, Professor Edward Friedman of Vanderbilt University will present, "Don Quixote: Staying Alive."
Friedman is Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Spanish, professor of comparative literature and European studies, and director of the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. He has been editor of the Bulletin of the Comediantes since 1999 and is a past president of the Cervantes Society of America.
His research has centered on early modern Spanish literature, with special emphasis on Cervantes, picaresque narrative, and the Comedia. Friedman has explored how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish texts play against tradition and, at the same time, establish directions for future creation, by anticipating forms of contemporary fiction and drama, as well as the preoccupations of contemporary theory.

Well for these of you which are among the mechanically (vehicle) challenged, I can inform you that it takes longer to walk to the components department and get the Battery for a standard car, than it does to actually pull the old one out and set up the brand new one. An automotive manufacturer sought to improve and standardise the quality of after-gross sales providers, to extend cross-selling alternatives and encourage clients to improve.

In the United States, there are approximately 18 million people who work in the health care field. Of those 18 million, 80 percent are women, and there are many dangers that they face at work each day. However, there are some commonsense tips that South Carolina nurses can take to avoid getting hurt. One step that can be taken is to avoid sharp objects or to use them with care.
Protecting against reproductive health issues
South Carolina workers are likely aware that coming into contact with chemicals or working in extreme heat can cause health issues. However, they may not be aware that they could cause issues with a man's reproductive health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are several factors that could factor into whether or not exposure will create such an issue. For instance, those who haven't been exposed for a long period of time may not be harmed.
Car data loggers may determine who is at fault in a crash
When a South Carolina motorist becomes involved in a single-vehicle car accident, it can be easy to want to blame the car. However, cars made by Tesla Motors make it much more difficult to deflect fault for the accident. One owner of a Tesla Model X SUV found this out after claiming that the vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own and crashed into a building.
Teen drivers and accident risk
For teen drivers, Memorial Day marks the beginning of what AAA calls the "100 deadliest days" on the road in South Carolina and across the nation. During this period, accidents involving teen motorists between the ages of 16 and 19 increase and deaths are 16 percent higher than any other time of year. Over the past five years, an average of 1,022 people have died annually in accidents involving teen drivers during this time. One reason why teens cause so many accidents is there propensity for cell phone use.
Slaughterhouse injuries may be under-reported
Those in the South Carolina slaughterhouse industry may know that slaughterhouses are much safer than they are historically known to be. However, a government report indicating slaughterhouse safety may not show all of the risks that those who work in meat and poultry slaughterhouses face every day.

Biographies are really weird things. About pages. All that. You basically have to make yourself sound fancy and act all pompous and important and make sure people know why you're worth it.

I'm here to help others look good, but that doesn't mean I eliminate the process of having fun.


text: Black Hills DT Rained Out Paul Carruthers | August 9, 2001 Last night's Formula USA dirt track event scheduled at Black Hills Speedway in South Dakota was cancelled due to torrential rainfall that began at 3 p.m. and continued well into the evening. At 7:30 p.m. the event was officially cancelled by Formula USA race management as standing water continued to build and thundershowers continued, according to a release from Formula USA. Since the majority of riders had existing plans to immediately travel another dirt track competition beginning the following weekend, no rain date or rescheduled race is planned, the release states. Fans holding Rapid City Dirt Track tickets have the opportunity to receive free tickets to next year's event along with free souvenir programs or can receive a full refund on this year's Rapid City ticket. Ticket holders should send copies of their tickets along with receipt (if they have it) and a clear return address to: Rapid City Refunds, c/o: Clear Channel Entertainment, 495 North Commons Drive #200, Aurora, IL 60504. If you wish to trade your tickets for the 2002 Dirt Track event please WRITE "FREE TICKETS TO 2002" on the letter. Those fans will receive the first choice of tickets before the 2002 event goes on sale, according to Formula USA. Refunds will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis, and expected turnaround time is 2-4 weeks. Ticket refunds/trade request must be postmarked by no later than September 15, 2001 to be valid. "We appreciate the support of the fans who patiently waited in the rain out there with our riders, teams and crew. Sometimes Mother Nature frowns on us, but we'll be back" said Mike Kidd, Vice President of Clear Channel Entertainment, Motor Sports. Formula USA dirt track points standings prior to Rapid City will carry over to the next Drag Specialties National Dirt Track event in Vancouver, British Columbia on August 25.Paul Carruthers | EditorPaul Carruthers took over as the editor of Cycle News in 1993 after serving as associate editor since starting his career at the publication in 1985.

MiniME - Command Line
Invoking MiniME from the command line or a build environment
Once you've downloaded MiniME, you'll need to extract the binaries to somewhere on your path, or update your path to include the folder containing the MiniME files. Typically MiniME should be called from your build process, but it can also be run directly from a command prompt or terminal.
MiniME runs under Windows with .NET 3.5 installed. It has also been know to run under Mono on Linux and Mac OS X - though this has not been tested extensively.
Invoking MiniME
To run MiniME simply pass the name of the JavaScript file (or files) you want to process:
mm MyJavaScriptFile.js
This will produce a file named
MyJavaScriptFile.min.js in the same folder as the input file.
For Linux/Mac users with Mono installed use the following command format:
mono mm.exe MyJavaScriptFile.js
Command Line Reference
MiniME supports the following command line arguments:
- Sets the name of the output file
- Send the output to stdout rather than a file.
- Sets the maximum line length. By default, MiniME inserts line breaks every 120 characters. Use
this option to override this behaviour. Specify
0for no line breaks.
- Disable all obfuscation - just remove whitespace, comments etc...
- Prevents MiniME from inserting a small credit comment mentioning itself.
- Specifies the character encoding of any input files that follow on the command line.
- Specifies the character encoding of the output file. If not specified, the same character encoding of the first input file is used.
- Generates a list of available character encoding names.
- Sets the current directory to
<directory>, which will be used for any subsequent unqualified command line path arguments.
- Checks the timestamp of all input files (including response fles) and only generates the output
file if one or more input file has changed. This option also creates a file named
<outputfile>.minime-optionsthat stores the options used. For
-check-filetimesto work, the same set of command line arguments must be specified.
- Don't use or create the options file normally created by
- Don't display code quality warnings for any subsequent files on the command line
- Turn code quality warnings back on for subsequent files.
- Load command line arguments from a file name
<responsefile>. While processing the arguments in the response file, the current directory is changed to the directory of the response file.
- Display command line help
- Display the MiniME version header and quit.
- Don't show the MiniME logo. Use with
-stdoutto get a clean output.
Diagnostics Options
The following options are intended for developers working on MiniME, but might also be useful during general usage.
- Format the output to make it more readable (though probably not as readable as the original source code - unless you're a really messy coder!). Possibly useful for de-obfuscating previously obfuscated scripts - good luck with that!
- Displays symbol allocation information in the generated output.
- Dumps the entire parsed abstract syntax tree to stdout.
- Dumps information about all function scopes to stdout.

Eradicate Flies Together With Your Fly Screen Window Will you be getting fed up with flies entering the house? Well, it will be quite a pest especially when it actually starts to be annoying. Sometimes, you want to imagine a way on how to manage to simply let these flies out of your house in order not to result in any danger to the health of the kids, specifically when they begin landing on your food. Because these flies bear using them several microbes, often there is that risk that when they land on to your food without you realizing it, they might infect the food with one of these germs they bring using feet. Worse scenario, once any a family member eats those meals, they are more likely to withdraw. However, are you aware of you could now eliminate flies from entering the house by simply purchasing and installing fly screen windows? Yes, you heard it right. There have been lots of houses in the U.K. That install fly screen windows in order to avoid flies from entering. You will find 3 types of Fly screen you could actually pick from, namely: Standard Fly Screens-the common type of fly screen in which the mesh is stretched in just a frame and stuck place with special strips. This frame is affixed beyond the window or can be produced as being a screen door but sometimes be removed or easily removed to clean purposes. This is easily the most economical fly screen but sometimes only be used and placed in standard window types. Retractable fly screen-the kind of fly screen which might be pulled across or down a window or door as required but is hidden you need to definitely used. In its retracted state in which the screen is hidden, this fly screen is kept in a unique housing that makes it invisible. This kind of fly screen window operates on discreet tracks and is opened to the precise position that you would like. This is perfectly fitted to windows and doors that can not be protected by standard fly screens for example bifold doors, French doors, stacking doors, awning windows, severy windows, double hung windows, casement windows, etc. Magnetic fly screen-types of fly screens that stay securely in position but sometimes simply be removed to clean. These screens have a very strong magnetic seal all the way around the perimeter on the screen and window frame allowing correctly to cling securely. Typical for standard windows, awning windows, casement windows, bi-fold windows, windows with security bars, or grills. So, if you're still experiencing difficulity with flies arriving the house and landing on your own food, you simply should get yourself a fly screen window in order to avoid flies from entering the house. This would now offer you reassurance while sure there won't be risks involved. Whatever kind of windows maybe you have, there'll always be a sort of fly screen that could be fitted to this. So just what are you anticipating? Fliegengitter Fenster

American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino may still be savoring her victory of two years ago, but the 21-year-old single mom reveals in her new memoir, Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, that parts of her past were anything but idyllic.
The singer admits to hiding the fact that she can neither read nor write – sometimes having to fake lyrics and not even understanding her record contracts – and that she was raped as a 9th grader in school.
She says that not being able to read or write is like having on blinders to the world. "You're illiterate to just about everything. You don't want to misspell," she tells ABC's 20/20 in a segment due to air Friday. "So that, for me, kept me … in a box and I didn't, wouldn't come out."
As for how she was able to deliver scripted segments on Idol, the High Point, N.C.-native concedes: "Somebody would say, 'You know, it's pronounced this way' and I'd be like, 'Oh, I'm sorry, you know, I'm country, you know."
The most difficult aspect of her illiteracy, she says, is that she is prevented from reading a book to her 4-year-old daughter, Zion: "That hurts really bad."
As for the sexual assault, Fantasia said the perpetrator was a popular male student on whom she had a crush, and after the incident (which occurred in the school auditorium), she crawled right into bed at home.
"And my mom comes upstairs and she says, 'Something is wrong with you.' I wouldn't even talk. She says, 'Have you been touched?' I still said nothing," said Fantasia, as quoted on the ABC Web site. "I laid in that bed for two days. I wouldn't even go to school."
Once Fantasia finally told her mother, the boy was disciplined. Except, says Fantasia, at "one point in time I was saying it was my fault – just because of the way I was dressed, I caused it on myself."
Later that year she dropped out of school, and by age 17 Fantasia was an unwed mother.

Six Flags New England announces new rides, deals
Six Flags New England's grand opening is April 13, and the Agawam amusement park is offering a special admissions price of $20.13 for people who donate six nonperishable food items during opening weekend.
A portion of each ticket sold will benefit the Sandy Hook Family Healing Fund and the Newtown Food Bank. The Sandy Hook Family Healing Fund, established by Newtown parents, is committed to providing immediate and ongoing support to the surviving families of Sandy Hook Elementary children.
"Six Flags New England is geared up for a thrill-packed season with an incredible ticket offer that benefits two extremely worthwhile organizations in Newtown," said park president John Winkler.
Six Flags will welcome several new additions to the park this season, including Bonzai Pipeline, a water park ride that opens Memorial Day weekend; Whistlestop Park, a train ride for young children; season dining passes; and new shows.
Bonzai Pipeline features six looping slides set atop a 75-foot tower. After reaching the top of the six-story structure, guests step into the "DrenalineDrop" launching capsule, where the floor drops out beneath them, sending riders free-falling down the slide, twisting and turning before landing in a refreshing splash pool. Riders will surf the 257-foot slide at up to 40 miles per hour.
Six Flags New England also is offering a new Season Dining Pass, which allows guests to eat one lunch and one dinner every time they visit the park from April 13 to Sept. 15. The pass can be purchased online for $69.99.
Six Flags New England is also introducing a new Weather Guarantee program. If the weather causes a majority of rides to close for an extended period, Six Flags will offer a complimentary return pass. Certain rules and restrictions apply.
The park's opening weekend hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. The park is open daily for spring break from April 15 to April 21.

Leader responds to Autumn Statement
Autumn Statement: Leader calls on government to match commitment to Birmingham children
Responding to the Autumn Statement, the Leader of Birmingham City Council, Sir Albert Bore said:
"This statement includes lots of pre-election announcements for projects across the country but does nothing to address the financial crisis facing our local services.
"There are no changes to next year's funding for local government, which will see cuts of over £100m in Birmingham alone. And there is now the threat that cuts will continue at the same pace for a further two years. The Government needs to wake up and realise the damage that is being done to local public services in this country, before it is too late.
"Added to the pressure on our social care services, further cuts will make it impossible to maintain non-statutory provision and further reduce the quality of statutory services. But our greatest concern is for the children that need our support and careâ€
"That is why, despite these almost impossible pressures I can announce that we will be increasing our spending on the safeguarding of children next year, in order to address the challenges identified through joint working with Lord Warner, the Commissioner for Children's Safeguarding.
"The council is still in dialogue with the Government to fund this agenda and we don't yet know what level of assistance will be provided. But today I am able to announce that we will identify an additional £19.9m for next year in addition to the £9m already put in place. These combined resources will meet the expected increase in needs and allow for the recruitment of more social workers.â€
"This is not, however, enough to meet the full cost of the improvement programme next year, and we continue to ask the Government to afford Birmingham's children the same level of importance as their other priorities.
"I therefore call upon the Chancellor to show the same commitment to vulnerable children and to match this additional spending – not just in Birmingham but across all the hard pressed areas of the country that have seen the biggest cutsâ€.
Sir Albert welcomed the Chancellor's commitment to a more balanced economy and investment in the major cities. He added:
"Following the announcement of further investment in the North, we are happy to take up the Chancellor's offer to discuss further funding and powers for Birmingham and the West Midlands. We intend to work together to establish a strong local partnership of councils and make the investments that the people of the West Midlands want and need.
"As the manufacturing hub of the nation and the leading region for inward investment and exports, we believe that the West Midlands, working closely with the East Midlands will become the real economic powerhouse of the countryâ€
"As a first step we plan to expand the Enterprise Zones in the Black Country and Birmingham, bringing more investment like the Paradise Circus redevelopment, the regeneration around the new High Speed Two station and the i54 site, potentially creating over 60,000 new jobs. We look forward to an announcement on this at the March Budget.
"We also want to take forward our vision for a full network of tram lines connecting the Black Country, Birmingham, the airport and HS2.â€

This paper presents theoretical approaches to the current emphasis on integrating vocational and academic subjects in secondary schools and presents a review of the literature. Scenarios are presented which go beyond contemporary practice. These scenarios, and an exploration of issues surrounding the integration of vocational and academic education, suggest that successful integration will require changes in the organization of schools, in instructional methods used, and in the perceptions held of vocational education.

Annual Education Report 2015-2016
April 4, 2017
Dear Parents and Community Members:
We are pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2015-2016 educational progress for the Soo Township School. The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and state laws. The school's report contains information about student assessment, accountability and teacher quality. If you have any questions about the AER, please contact Mrs. Diane M. Chevillot, principal, for assistance.
The AER is available for you to review electronically by visiting the following web site:
You may also review a copy in the main office at your child's school.
A Focus school is one that has a large achievement gap between the highest and lowest 30% of students at the school. A Priority school is one whose achievement and growth is in the lowest 5% of schools in the state. A Reward school is one that has achieved one or more of the following: Top 5% of schools in the Top-to Bottom School Rankings, top 5% of schools making the greatest gains in achievement scores, or "Beating the Odds" by outperforming predicted ranking or those of similar schools. Some schools are not identified with any of these labels. In these cases, no labels were given. For the 2016-2017 school year, no new Priority or Focus schools were named; some Priority or Focus schools did exit their status because they met the requirements. New Reward schools were identified using school rankings and Beating the Odds information.
Our school has not been given one of these labels.
Soo Township School has implemented many educational strategies aimed at closing the achievement gap between our highest and lowest achieving students. Some of these strategies are: Reading Recovery, intervention specialist, upper and lower elementary interventionist paraprofessionals, and NWEA Map testing. It is our goal to close the achievement gap between our highest and lowest performing students while continuing to raise the performance level of all of our students.
Soo Township School has been serving the Sault Ste. Marie community since 1958. The school's attendance area has been established by the administration of the Sault Area Public Schools. The school district has adopted the national core curriculum. The curriculum may be viewed electronically by visiting the following website: http://www.eupisd.com.

In the weight room, don't be fooled by players who are always pumping iron. It takes a lot more than big muscles to succeed in college sports. Players are becoming more agile, and developing superior game skills every year. You need to develop muscle strength as well, it's true, but your primary focus in weight training should be to use the equipment to help you develop strength along a natural range of motion.
If your school doesn't have advanced machinery in the weight room, you're better off using free weights, and pulley systems that allow you to copy the same motions you make when playing. A few simple exercises done right can replace thousands of dollars of weight-room equipment. Good, old-fashioned push-ups, with a clap in the air every other rep, will do wonders to increase your chest and triceps. Chin-ups will increase your biceps, and pull-downs will bring out your lats. Motlow State Community College softball schedule may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for South Piedmont Community College personal training, you may think about Burlington County College class times for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Six months of difficult renovation work culminated Friday of Loudonville Fair Week at ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the new Strive Chiropractic Office and Dr. Dakota Zickefoose.
The affair was hectic and informal, with Zickefoose assembling the 100 or more ribbon-cutting guests behind him as he, flanked by his wife Ashley and Loudonville Mayor Steve Stricklen, snipped a big ribbon with a pair of even bigger scissors.
After a huge applause, Zickefoose presided over the awarding of 20 or so door prizes, donated by himself and by fellow Loudonville businesses.
Dakota and his father, Richard "Legs" Zickefoose, have been working feverishly for over six months restoring the old Ullman Hotel Building, built in 1901 but last used as a hotel in the mid-1970s.
From then until last year it was used as a bank, with the bank closing and making the building available.
The elder Zickefoose purchased the building from First Merit Bank in February, and began the aggressive renovation.
The first floor of the structure will serve as the Strive Chiropractic office; the second as an apartment for Dakota and Ashley, and the third floor as three vacation rental units. Actual opening of the office will be in a few weeks.
As a sidelight to the ribbon-cutting, descendants of Avis Stumbaugh, last owner of the Ullman Hotel, from 1963 to 1975, donated an Amish Oak Furniture-made park bench with Avis' name carved on it to be placed at the front of the building.
Family members sharing in the cost of the bench were Betsy Butler Carpenter, Chris Stumbaugh, and Jon and Juanita Kline of Mansfield; Sherri (Butler) and Bruce Sinclair of Las Vegas; Frank and Roxana Stumbaugh of Miami, Fla.; Tom and Rebecca Stumbaugh and Jo Ann, Ed and Jacob Nelson of Tallahassee, Fla.; Jim and Diane Pittinger of Mifflin; and Paula Pittinger of Ashland.
"We are extremely grateful to Dakota, Ashley and the Zickefoose family for their extraordinary vision, planning and hard work in restoring the building for the Strive Chiropractic opening,"
Family Member Jon Kline said. "The restoration is absolutely beautiful and we are certain Dakota's practice will be a success. With deep pride and admiration we present Dakota and Ashley with this bench. We know that our grandmother, Avis Stumbaugh, is looking down on us today and smiling."

US expatriates urged to seek tax advice
Dubai: American expatriates in the UAE are being urged to seek specialist tax advice as the US government clamps down on people cheating the system.
A piece of legislation known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or Fatca, is causing great concern among Americans living overseas as they face up to new filing demands that critics say are excessive and overblown.
"Expats who have fallen out of compliance with the US tax rules or who are unsure if they have been filing correctly should speak to a US tax attorney, not an accountant, in order to receive attorney client privilege"Share on facebookTweet this
Some UAE-based Americans with dual-citizenship are even looking to renounce their US passports in a bid to avoid complying with the new regulations.
"Expats who have fallen out of compliance with the US tax rules or who are unsure if they have been filing correctly should speak to a US tax attorney, not an accountant, in order to receive attorney client privilege," said Virginia La Torre Jeker, J.D., a Dubai-based tax specialist.
"As for trying to fix up past mistakes, proper advice must be sought. It is too risky to fill in the FBAR (report of foreign bank and financial accounts) on your own, at least initially.
"The pace has really picked up; people have been reading about convictions for criminal tax evasion and they are getting scared, especially those close to retirement age. They know when they return to the US and are drawing on social security, it can be taken away if the IRS comes calling. People are scared and, in fact, they should be scared," she added.
Fatca is a piece of government legislation that requires certain US taxpayers holding foreign financial assets with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 to report certain information about those assets on a new form (Form 8938), which must be attached to the taxpayer's annual tax return.
Wilful blindness
According to Jeker, claiming ignorance of US tax obligations will not be deemed a sufficient excuse to avoid penalties as Fatca has been well publicised in recent months. "The IRS has a concept of "wilful blindness" and if the IRS can demonstrate a taxpayer evidenced wilful blindness in not meeting his tax obligations, this can lead to severe penalties," she said. Reporting applies for assets held in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010. For most taxpayers this will be the 2011 tax return they file during the 2012 tax filing season. According to the IRS, failure to report foreign financial assets on Form 8938 will result in a penalty of $10,000, and a penalty up to $50,000 for continued failure after further notification.
"The initial feedback from US expatriates and businesses is not positive," said Asim Shaikh, partner at Ernst & Young, Middle East and North Africa. "Most US expatriates believe in the importance of paying taxes and are supportive of any effort made by their government to prevent tax evasion. However, they believe Fatca is too far-reaching and may have a significant impact on investments in the US from the Middle East and other growing economies," he added.
Fatca also requires foreign financial institutions (FFIs) to report directly to the IRS certain information about financial accounts held by US taxpayers, or by foreign entities in which US taxpayers hold a substantial ownership interest. To properly comply with these new reporting requirements, an FFI will have to enter into a special agreement with the IRS by June 30, 2013. "The important thing to understand is that Fatca is primarily designed to deal with foreign financial institutions such as banks, pension funds and mutual funds," said Dean Rolfe, tax partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
"People have been aware of Fatca for a number of years, but it has been difficult for businesses to decide what they needed to do; they have to be up to speed by 2014, however, or they will be subject to withholding taxes," he added.
Rolfe says individuals will also be impacted by Fatca as the IRS will join the dots further down the line. But he also stressed there was always an opportunity to set the record straight and for American expatriates to come back into compliance with the system. "As far as individuals are concerned, they may be asked to provide information to banks/funds where they have money located if those institutions sign up to the Fatca agreement," he said.
"The US system involves taxing Americans working in the Middle East; they are subject to file tax returns. There are an awful lot of people, either deliberately or by mistake, who have not done so in the past but Fatca has concentrated their attitude on the matter; they know they have to be compliant and up-to-date with their taxes," he added.
However, some American expatriates are already seeking drastic action to avoid complying with the new regulations including renouncing their US passports and green cards.
About 1,780 expatriates gave up their nationality at US embassies last year, up from 235 in 2008, according to Geneva's Overseas American Academy. Jeker says she has recently spoken to many American expatriates in the UAE who have considered renouncing their citizenship or green cards.
"Many people do not fully understand what they have to do to formally relinquish their US tax status. Many simply disappear underground. But in the eyes of the US tax law they are still US citizens, or in the case of certain green card holders they are still US tax residents; both are liable to tax on their worldwide income," she said.
"There are many steps to consider and one of them is certifying under the penalties of perjury you have met all your US tax obligations for the past five years. You cannot get rid of what is perceived by many as a "curse", without getting back into compliance with the US tax system. It is causing sleepless nights for a lot of people."
What is fatca?

No other country double taxes it's citizens the way the US does. It is a human rights violation. The Canadian government sees it that way and it challenging FATCA which other governments are doing too. Court cases are lining up in the US. FATCA and the penalties are in violation of several US constitutional Amendments, and it will go to the Supreme Court. It is not a cut and dry situation. The IRS is not one of the US government branches and cannot simply make decisions for Americans. It is an unelected body. The lawsuits will go on for years and years. It will be disastrous for the US economy as the US will know tattle on every foreign citizens bank accounts in turn to their governments. Capital will flee the US as it should. This is an imperialistic piece of legislation and a human rights violation. The US has put up it's own Berlin Wall against it's population. It similar to what a communist government would do to trap it's people inside. Eventually, major changes will have to be made or the US will lose trillions, as it should for such a stupid piece of legislation created by unelected officials.

I will have to strongly agree with Mr. Johnson. My wife and kids are US citizens and during the Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon, the US Navy evacuated thousands and thousands of US citizens, most of which are Arabs in origin. They moved them by a hovercraft to a navy ship and from there to Cypress. From Cypress each was flown to their respective state and they all reach their homes safe and sound. Stuff like that cost the US Gov A LOT of US Dollars so they are surely entitled to the tax they impose on their citizens. I was grateful that my wife and daughter were moved out of harm's way and it provided a lot of relief to me as a father and a husband.
AshMay 16, 2012 2:56
The US personal taxation system (Federal) is quite similar to some of the other Western countries in respect of taxing worldwide earnings based on an whether or not an individual holds their country's passport. A notable exception is the UK which taxes individuals based on the place of residence and their domicile and not based on citizenship.Non-resident Greencard holders or US Citizens are given certain allowances (exemptions) but it is not always enough to offset their total taxable income. This in most cases results in a tax bill which is nothing more than the price paid for the 'privilege' of holding an American passport or a Green Card.What most people revoking their Green Card or American Passport don't realise is that there are tax filing obligations (for a certain number of years) even after the American Passport or Green Card has been revoked. They are mistaken if they think that just by going to the American Embassy and filing out a revocation form, they will eliminate all future US taxes.Tax Treaties generally eliminate double taxation but since the UAE doesn't have a tax treaty with the US and there is no tax regime in the UAE, any employment income (or any other income) earned by a US national/Greencard holder in the UAE (after exemptions) will be taxed in the US.It is not a question of whether dual nationals should be taxed or not but rather a question of how much they should be taxed on and at what rate. For eg: the annual foreign housing exclusion & the foreign earned income exclusion rates can be increased to ease the tax burden.
Bruce LeckeyMay 16, 2012 12:40
The $50,000 threshold mentioned in the article applies only to certain taxpayers living in the US. Expats have higher thresholds. (For example, the threshold for those who are married filing a joint return while residing abroad is $400,000.) Everyone who is concerned should log onto IRS.Gov before they panic and spend alot of money on professional advice. Also, the article should have mentioned FBAR reporting requirement of bank accounts exceeding $10,000 during the year. Many more expats are subject to that rule that the FATCA discussed.
InpainMay 16, 2012 2:45
Americans working abroad are not the same as Americans in the USA hiding investments abroad not to pay US taxes. We have nothing to hide for no other reason because we have tax credits for the taxes we pay in our country of residency. The USA IRS trapped us by creating FBARS in the silence of the night and then penalizing us for not knowing about it. Unfair, very unfair. So much so that the IRS Tax Adviser has ptotested in our behalf.
