yet he is NOT the same guy we had as a rookie since his knew issue he has never been the same last year 2011 he led the league in holding penalties this year the speed rushers have been all over him and while he did only allow one sack this year, he made Manning visibly nervous forcing him to step up into the pocket or roll out away FROM clady on numerous occasions.. ..
Does that mean he will be 100 % of what he was a rookie? I'll let John and John worry about that..
Again if they find the money OK by me as they are a lot closer to the situation than you or I am..
the facts were when I originally posted numbers were
we had 18.5 mil in free space going into the season.. 11 and change of which was roll over money.. those were numbers gathered and published by a national concern.. Whether they are spot on or not I do not know for sure.. but none the less 18.5 million..
we had 35 players under contract at that time according to sporttrac all of which I listed, since then we have signed apx 17 players to future contracts.. totaling as of yesterday (24Jan) 52 players . all listed above in this thread..
now numerous others have went thru the numbers and posted salaries of those they found, I have not checked their accuracy and everyone that has done so has come up with different numbers who is spot on or not I have no idea..
while I appreciate your taking last years numbers and subtracting out who you believe will be gone I still stand on 18.5 million IF Pat allows us to spend it all to fill out some 25 roster spots when the season starts and that includes the number of IR players that have to fit under the cap.. 35 on the list adding 18 for the 53 man roster plus an average of 7 on IR or 60 players..
25 players for 18.5 mil 740 K per person..
BTW I note you did not list Williams on the cut list, that IMO is a for sure cut..
but thanks again for your thoughts,, even IF I do not see it the way you do....
BTW the real dead money according to Sportrac i listed above at about 1 million for the coming year NOT counting who they may cut in the future
Of course a franchise tackle is worth $12 mill. That's the going rate.
As to the rest of that crap, you obviously can't even do simple math, let alone cap-related math.
The Broncos had $22 million, or $18 million THIS SEASON. That's not even close to a finite number for NEXT SEASON.
That's why it does matter who is let go to free agency and who re-signs.
This is simple logic.
has everything, and that's verified information. Read. Stop posting until you comprehend.

A dangerous stretch of road has claimed the life of another high school student. Eyewitnesses tell police two cars were speeding right before the accident happened.
The stretch of road near Sahara and Sloan is the scene of other accidents including one where high school students tragically died in 2002. Wednesday's accident claimed the life of a 17-year-old Adriana Rios, a Las Vegas High School senior who would have turned 18-years-old on Friday.
Word around school traveled fast says Renaldo Walls. "I heard she was racing and there is not a need to be racing. Just go the speed limit. A car is not a toy, you can die driving a car," Walls said.
Police say it was actually the 33-year-old driver who was speeding 75-miles-an-hour when he lost control and wrapped the car around a pole. The road has wide snaking blind curves. Factor in speed and it's a deadly combination says area resident Tony Hernandez.
"I see all these people flying down the street like there is not a tomorrow. All these kids are getting killed. They don't know how to handle that curve," Hernandez said.
Memorials are everywhere here. One of them has a picture of the last fatal accident. A car wrapped around a pole exactly like this accident.
A tragedy at the same spot four years ago killed two Las Vegas High School students. "On the morning of May 9th, my life changed forever," said a student who lost her leg in that accident. She was inspired to make educational videos about safe driving.
"Unfortunately this has become a rather famous stretch of roadway," said Metro Sgt. Tracy McDonald who says traffic engineers will look into what they can do to reduce fatalities here.
This is the same place that two teenage girls died in an accident in 2002. The girls were rushing to get back to school after lunch when the driver lost control of the car and crashed into a light pole. The car was nearly split in half from the impact.
Two girls were killed. Three others were seriously hurt.

So, this was the very first Movie Maniacs figure I ever bought.
Judging by the mask, this looks like Jason Voorhees from Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday. But the clothing looks more like Jason from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.
I'll let you all decide.
Only three more figures left to display for Movie Maniacs Month. I'm going to cheat a little bit on Wednesday and show you a McFarlane Toys figure that wasn't part of the Movie Maniacs line, but he should have been.
See you then.

The husband of a brain dead woman has filed a lawsuit against the hospital because he says that the hospital is keeping his wife alive against her family's wishes. On Jan. 14, ABC News reported that Erick Munoz has asked a judge to order John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, to take his wife, Marlise, off of life support. A doctor at the hospital has told the family that Marlise is brain dead but she is still on life support despite the family saying that they wanted to take her off.
Marlise fell unconscious back in November and has been on life support with no brain activity ever since. She and her husband are both paramedics and, according to Erick Munoz, they have talked about such situations. Erick says that his wife wouldn't have wanted to "live" like this -- and her parents agree -- but the hospital won't comply.
The husband of the brain dead woman is trying to overturn the hospital's decision but there is a state law that "prohibits life-saving treatment from being denied to pregnant patients." Of course this protects the fetus which is a debate in and of itself. Since Marlise is legally and medically dead, however, experts say that the hospital is enforcing the law incorrectly.
The hospital says that they are standing by their decision and that they are just following the law. If a judge orders them to do otherwise, Marlise will be taken off of life support and her family can continue to grieve and heal.
The husband of the brain dead woman just wants peace after the past two months. As for what happened to Marlise, there has not been an immediate answer. A pulmonary embolism is a possibility according to ABC News.

Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys
So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to
Mama - My Chemical Romance
And if you would call me your sweetheart,
I'd maybe then sing you a song
But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
You would cry out your eyes all along.
27 - Fall Out Boy
You're a bottled star
The planets align
You're just like Mars
You shine in the sky
You Rascal You - Hanni El Khatib
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you!
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you!
When you dead in your grave,
No more women will you crave.
I'll be glad when you dead, you rascal, you!
This House Is A Circus - Arctic Monkeys
This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end
Ever Fallen In Love - Pete Yorn
You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse
Sink Into Me - Taking Back Sunday
I'd like to see our roles reversed,
to watch you hang on every word,
I'd like to see you have your way.
I keep my grammar well rehearsed,
correct each stutter, every slur,
come on and have your way with me.
Sail - AWOLNATION
Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby
Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my A.D.D. baby
I Can't Decide - Scissor Sisters
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
Swing - Brighten
Oh I am dark and I am scary
Do you think of me at night?
The way I make it even colder,
And send shivers down your spine?
The truth is never easy here,
Its time, no lies,
Make up your mind
Lonely Lonely - Taking Back Sunday
All the things they said about you
Paper thin walls stacked around you
An hour glass's silhouette and then
No matter how hard I try
Or how dirty you fight
There is no place on God's great earth
Where you could go to hide from me
Bulls In Brooklyn - The Academy Is…
Some people have it and other people don't
Though the road that we've paved still goes both ways
I'm breaking habits you don't want to know
Well I been crossing some lines that most folks won't
Let's Kill Tonight - Panic! At The Disco
If I retreat
Words, wars, and symphonies
Make room we're taking over here
So the gallanting
Cold and alone, it suits you well
You won't find me perching here again
Caraphernelia - Pierce The Veil
What if I can't forget you?
I'll burn your name into my throat.
I'll be the fire that'll catch you.
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole.
W.A.M.S - Fall Out Boy
Guild me, build me
It's your club, so let me in
Knowing how heartwarming
It is inside your skin
My head's in heaven, my soles are in hell
Let's meet in the purgatory of my hips and get well
Unexpected Places - The Academy Is…
Don't try and tell me you've been looking at me.
Cause I've been looking at you.
And I can read what you think. Yea.
Don't cut no corners when you're talking to me.
Like I don't know how it is,
But I can see it.

The Most Offensive Children's Toy EVER
No, this is not meant to be a real kids' toy -- but it doesn't matter. This is without a doubt the sickest novelty item we've ever seen. You?
Source: Buzzfeed.
Pure and utter distaste. Just tasteless.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.
Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter.
A formidable share, I simply given this onto a colleague who was doing a bit of evaluation on this. And he actually purchased me breakfast as a result of I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the deal with! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love studying extra on this topic. If attainable, as you become experience, would you mind updating your weblog with extra details? It is highly helpful for me. Large thumb up for this weblog put up!
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
My brother suggested I might like this website. He was entirely right. This post actually made my day. You cann't imagine just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
Valuable information. Lucky me I found your website by accident, and I am shocked why this accident didn't happened earlier! I bookmarked it.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Smile! You''re on camera: That''s what led Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) police to arrest two school custodians for allegedly stealing five laptop computers from Harrison Middle School, according to KRQE-TV.
David Andrade, 31, and Jacob Sandoval, 21, were arrested Wednesday on a list of charges that include conspiracy and larceny over $2,500 as well as receiving and transporting stolen property, the article stated.
APS released surveillance video on Thursday that shows two men they believe to be Andrade and Sandoval pulling boxes identified to be computers from a locked closet, the article noted.
According to the article, the police were able to identify the men in the video by their faces and clothes they were wearing, which appear to be work shirts worn by maintenance workers from APS.
APS police believe Andrade and Sandoval entered the closet using a key, which they weren''t authorized to have, the article added.

Weeknight Dinner Parties: Tips, Recipes & Good Ideas
Earlier this month we told you why we think Mondays are the best night for a dinner party (guests are available, you have the weekend to prep). But even the most well-prepared cook finds it hard to come home after work and pull dinner together when guests are arriving in less than an hour. What are the best ways to have friends over on nights when you're racing back home from the office? Reader Tania wrote us with this question, and we have some thoughts for her. We'd love to hear yours as well.
The Challenge: Dinner Party on a Weeknight
Tania says:
I really like this month's focus on entertaining. My question is: what are some good options for weeknight entertaining? Thursday and Friday nights tend to be best for our schedule but having people over would typically mean the guests would arrive less than an hour after we get home from work. I would love to hear about some easy, quick and/or make-ahead choices. We've done salads, pizzas, and tacos but would love some fresh ideas!
This is a situation I've encountered many times! I love having people over for relaxed mid-week dinner parties. Folks in churches and community organizations with mid-week discussion and dinner groups also run into this.
A Few Practical Ideas for Weeknight Dinner Parties
So, what are some practical solutions and meal ideas? Here are some favorite tips and resources.
- Do a hands-on meal
Ask your guests to get involved with the meal. Don't prep anything ahead of time — just have fixings for dinner salads, sushi, or pressed sandwiches available. Guests show up with the expectation that they'll help and even get to customize what they eat. I love doing this with pizza!
• Sushi to Sliders: 5 Hands-On Dinner Parties - A few ideas for this kind of party
• A Weeknight Panini Potluck - A panini party!
- Go picnic-style, with sandwiches and salads
This is a riff on the tip above, since you could have everyone make their own sandwich. But I love the idea of a cool, summery meal of make-ahead grain salads, pasta salads, and chicken salad on toasted bread. You could have literally everything ready the night before.
• Casual Entertaining: BLTs for Dinner
• Picnic Salads & Beyond: 15 Recipes for Memorial Day
- Think small — really small
You don't need a 4-course meal. Think pot of soup and bread, with storebought sorbet for dessert. Or a roast chicken with deli potato salad (good deli potato salad, mind you), and ask your friend to bring dessert.
• Small-Scale Entertaining: A Roast Chicken Dinner
• Easy Entertaining with Ice Cream: 9 Ways to Dress up a Scoop
- And yes, think about make-ahead meals
This is the predictable answer, of course — do a make-ahead meal! Need ideas? How about pulled pork or carnitas or short ribs. These meals actually improve when made a day ahead. Just add bread and a salad.
• Entertaining: Make-Ahead Tips for Dinner Parties
• Just Add Salad: 5 Meals To Make Ahead and Reheat
We hope these ideas are helpful. Weeknight dinner parties are wonderful times to gather with friends; they tend to be more low-key, and they help encourage habits of casual hospitality. As Sara Kate said in her thoughts on entertaining, having people over doesn't have to mean placecards and elaborate flower arrangements. It can be as simple as a pot of soup or leftovers shared convivially, among friends.
What are some of your favorite ways to share a meal on a weeknight? Do you have any tips or meal ideas for Tania?

Don't underestimate your slow cooker for this situation, should you have one! Night before, get some bread and salad and a bought dessert, then prep ingredients for a main dish in your sc. That morning before you leave for work, plug it in and you're done.
Thanks so much for posting my question! I love the idea of a panini party and am off to check the link about the make-ahead vegetable gratins as there are many vegetarians amongst our friends.
Another key: Shop for the fixins at lunch.
Bread baked that day at the bakery? Definitely better than something bought the previous day.
I also second the "meals made ahead" sentiment. I just threw a little get together and it was really relieving to be able to throw the appetizers in the oven to warm up without worrying about any prep work or hands on time. If you need idea's Faith's cookbook, Not your Mother's casseroles has a number of options, and instructions on what to pre-prepare. I've made 2 and they were delicious!
The best thing about this is that if your guests arrive early or if your main course gets you in the weeds, your appetizer will keep guests happy til you're/your meal is ready!
I actually just hosted a dinner party last night, roasted pork for 30 minutes and roasted asparagus and radishes for about 15. dinner party success!
Totally off the subject...but I'm dying to know what that is in the bottom left photo! *Drools*
@Kasey Lynn it's prepped panini from the panini potluck post!


text: Took a break from working on my show to paint something totally frivolous. It was supposed to be a sketch but I might've gotten a little carried away…. I was inspired by classical paintings and tried to get a depth-of-field thing going. Print will probably be up at my S6 later!

I will be getting FiOS Internet and TV installed next week. I would like to watch TV on the computer. I have an old analog TV tuner card in the PC. Do I have to get a set-top box for the computer, or is there a way to access FiOS TV over the Internet?
My computer is running Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes you will require an STB. There are no analog signals on the FIOS TV feed, they are all digital (QAM-256). Even with a QAM capable tuner you will only get the local SD and HD channels (as these are the only ones in "clear QAM") unless you have a newer PC with a cablecard capable tuner.
The cheapest option is the DCT-700 (also called Digital Adapter) for $3.99 / month. Has no guide, VOD, or widgets and receives only the SD channels you are subscribed to (no HD cpability). It has both composite video with L/R audio and RF outputs, but the RF output is mono audio only.

Jenni and I sat down with Celebuzz to talk about our show Snooki & JWOWW. I think the show just works because we're very relatable! We're best friends. There is a very organic flow because unlike other reality shows, we actually film 24/7 so you really get to see everything! We're just being ourselves and having fun sharing that with the world. Watch the video to hear what else we have to say about our show!
What is Jionni's deal? Ever since he turned into a father he treats Snooki like crap. Where is his affection? Does he ever just give her a hug and tell her how amazing of a mother she is and that she is doing a good job? She is NOT jealous of her own baby… she is simply seeing the lack of affection from her man and it hurts her feelings…. I remember when I had my son, I instantly got distant from my husband/ my sons father. My whole world was about my son and I pushed his father away…. I quickly realized that wasnt fair and when you become a knew parent you need to learn to share your love with your significant other AND the baby…
I use to love Jionni with Snooki… but now… after watching how cold he is acting with her….. seriously??? He needs to realize what he has and step it up…. He is getting more and more hated as he acts like a total douche to such a special gal!!
Love you Snook… and you also Jenn!!

Perfect I like many others seen this dress online and fell in love. My husband told me he liked simple dresses nothing big and puffy. We had a fall country wedding right at our house and after trying on a ton of dresses I knew this was the one I wanted for our day. I felt great in the dress and everyone loved it. October 22, 2012
Great Dress! This dress had all the details I had in one. It was probably the 10th dress I tried on, and it was the final one! Had lots of comments on how beautiful it was. September 25, 2012
Love this dress. Perfect gown. Beautiful, comfortable, classic, elegant. The dress is not itchy or heavy. Skirt is not too big and train not too long. September 18, 2012
Beautiful in Ivory Like others, this dress didn't really catch my eye online, but I was just trying everything that wasn't sleeveless. This dress was so perfect. I got it in ivory, which complimented my skin tone better than bright white. The lace and beading is beautiful. I felt gorgeous and classy, and received so many compliments. August 29, 2012

Westboro Baptist Church's Plans to Picket Sandy Hook Funerals Thwarted by Good Samaritan Bikers (VIDEO)
I really don't know what's up with this supposed religious group, the Westboro Baptist Church, or what goes through their minds when they picket funerals of fallen soldiers and the like, but they really got it wrong this time by announcing they would picket the funerals of dead children killed in the Sandy Hook massacre. From what I understand, Westboro is so anti-homosexual that it blames pretty much anything bad that happens in this country on our "pro-gay agenda" angering God, who then apparently retaliates by organizing mass murders of children. Talk about a screwy religion.
Anyway, after Westboro threatened to picket the funerals of these innocent children (but haven't actually done so yet so far as I can tell), strangers from all over traveled to Newtown to form a human chain to block messages of hate from the eyes of the grieving townspeople. These human chains have been formed before at the funerals of soldiers.
This time, a line of motorcyclists formed on the streets to keep watch for the Westboro loonies. "All these guys see us and think we're bad. We're not. It's solidarity, is what it is," New York biker Jim Hannigan told a reporter. "I just felt I had to be here." Seriously, Westboro, do you want to mess with bikers?!
I don't know what kind of God Westboro Church believes in, but it's not the God the majority of people believe in. The idea that God sent down a reign of terror on Connecticut because of its gay marriage laws is absurd. But, you know, there's all kinds of nutty people in this world. I think this group only gets attention because it calls itself a church. I really feel sorry for the children (most of them children of the pastor) who are stuck in this "church."
Here's Westboro's Margie Phelps trying to explain why their group will picket the funerals -- though in reality there is no good explanation. Luckily, good people will always come out to block this kind of hatred. But maybe everyone should try a new tack and just ignore these idiots. If you look at Margie Phelps' Twitter stream (warning, it's pretty offensive), members of Westboro consider these human chains "audiences" and get pretty excited about them.
What do you think of this group?

What Rae.302 said is true. They piss enough people off to get sued, hire themselves, win the lawsuit since they don't technically do anything illegal, and then sue for legal fees to pay themselves. They are quite clever.

SAUGATUCK, MI (WHTC) -- In February of this year, Saugatuck was named by Coastal Living magazine as one of ten finalists of "America's Happiest Seaside Towns" for 2014. Readers were asked to cast their vote and Saugatuck placed number three on the list. The town has lured artists for generations. The Ox-Bow School of Art, for instance, is more than a century old. Great golf and fishing, along with a local brewery and two nearby wineries, add to the natural ambience of the area. The number one destination, as voted by readers of Coastal Living magazine, is Chincoteague Island in Virginia.

text: Abandoning the screen for a career as a legal secretary the same year that Zelig was released, fate guided Jeter back into his true calling when a producer, recalling his role in television's Designing Women, asked that he take a supporting role on the Burt Reynolds' sitcom Evening Shade. Accepting the role as assistant football coach Herman Stiles, Jeter's enthusiasm for acting was re-ignited as he was honored with an Emmy for the role in 1992. A busy stage actor as well, Jeter won a Tony in 1990 for his performance in Grand Hotel. From 1990 on, Jeter maintained his film career with a series of memorably quirky roles. Perhaps his most unique and affecting role came with the release of director Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King. As a homeless transvestite who croons for Amanda Plummer's character after making a flamboyant entrance into her quiet office, Jeter's carefree ditty was a highlight of the film. The 1990s proved a busy decade for Jeter, and roles in such popular films as Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993), Air Bud (1997), and The Green Mile (1999) assured that his career would flourish well into the new millennium. Announcing that he had been infected with HIV in 1997, audiences could never have known how quickly the deadly virus would take its toll on the energetic and optimistic actor. Though Jeter would usher in the new millennium with roles in such prominent box-office releases as The Gift (2000) and Jurassic Park III (2001), it was his role on Sesame Street that endeared him to children and made good use of his genuinely playful nature. Sadly, Jeter succumbed to complications from the HIV virus in late March of 2003. Before his untimely death, Jeter would complete roles in Kevin Costner's Open Range (2003) and Robert Zemeckis' family fantasy The Polar Express (2004). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Latest Release | Press Archives | Donation Plan | Stock Photography
ANGEL FIRE, NM - (September 18, 2013) - Angel Fire Resort, Northern New Mexico's premiere family destination, announced today that it will be adding new terrain for skiers and boarders, offering added value special winter discounts, and focusing its efforts on creating the best Southern Rockies Family Friendly ski resort for the 2013-2014 season.
This summer, Angel Fire's Bike Park was named one of the top five in North America. The resort will now transition the popular biking destination into new terrain for skiers and boarders. Transforming a few of the resort's popular bike trails from summer, two new half-mile winter trails will be added to Angel Fire Resort. The first will offer berms and jumps, similar to the popular Bominable trail, at the top of the mountain. The second, continuing with Angel Fire's popular "Gladed Tree Trails", will offer skiers a gentle winding trail through the trees.
The resort is also building a completely new nighttime terrain park on the front side named "Powder City." The park will be off Ridge Run on Valley Trail. The resort will host at least one USASA Freestyle Competition in Powder City this winter.
"Several resorts offer amazing skiing but very few offer a true family experience," explains Jamie Seifert, mountain operations manager, Angel Fire Resort. "Angel Fire Resort is committed to creating a dedicated Family First southern Rockies winter destination."
Angel Fire Resort continues improvements to its full-service Children's Ski School and on-site day care, known as SnowBear Camp. Several programs are in place to help parents get the most of their time on the slopes while their children are actively engaged learning to ski and board, making new friends and having fun.
- The Parenting Pass - Perfect for the family that has already developed their snow skills. This interchangeable pass allows two parents to take turns coaching and skiing with their child. Also allows parents to take turns on the mountain in a single day, while the other stays behind to care for a little one who is too young to ski.
- High Five Learn to Ski and Ride Program: the High 5 Learn to Ski and Snowboard program is designed for first time skiers and boarders to progress through a series of lessons and earn a FREE season pass with their completion of the program. Lessons can be taken consecutively, during successive visits or even split over two winter seasons.
- 3 Ski Program - For the tiniest of tots just learning how to ski the resort offers a unique program for three year olds. The 3 Ski Program allows the little ones a one-hour private lesson, with lunch and snacks plus snow play and activities at Snow Bear Camp. This allows the parents a full day on the slopes themselves, knowing that their little ones are in good hands for the whole day.
- The resort has added a dedicated Children's Chef - creating homemade comfort food favorites, nut free, lunches and snacks for day campers and ski-schoolers. Say goodbye to soggy PB&J's and boxed Mac and Cheese.
- Our Children's Ski & Snowboard School has partnered with Flaik, a GPS based Alpine Guest Tracking System. Children enrolled in lift service lessons will be equipped with a lightweight armband locator for all lift serviced lessons. Images are captured multiple times per second allowing detailed analysis of location and turn shape and allow parents and students to review their progress at the end of the day.
- Along with New Mexico's only nighttime Terrain Park and Tubing Hill (the Polar Coaster complete with a 700' conveyor belt to take the hike out of tubing) the resort has also added a more traditional daytime sledding hill with sleds and discs for rent.
- The Resort will continue to improve its cross-country terrain at The Nordic Center, now open for its third season. The groomed, looped trails wind skiers along rolling, scenic canyons of native spruce, pine and aspen trees, starting at 8,400' elevation. The terrain is varying, offering as light or as challenging a workout as any cross-country skier could ask for. The Nordic trails offer both skate and classic-style cross-country skiing. For the non-skiing crowd, the Nordic Center is open to snowshoers as well.
- Along with offering a wide variety of family entertainment on the mountain, Angel Fire has a large slate of non-skiing family activities including: A Snowman Garden complete with snowman making kits, snow art competitions, horse drawn sleigh rides, indoor pools, hot tub and two fitness centers.
Angel Fire Resort hosts a wide range of affordable lodging. From hotel, condos and private homes, families can choose just how many bedrooms and kitchens they need. Lodging is conveniently located right at the base of the mountain, and generally within walking distance to the chairlifts, rental shop and ski school. There is also a dedicated shuttle service to the ski hill from designated condo shuttle stops. The resort also owns a variety of reasonably priced family-style restaurants that offer special menus to children with allergies.
ADDITIONAL DEALS - The Family Budget is Top of Mind
- Grandparents over 70 and kids 6 and younger ski for free. Kids 7-12 can ski for $46 a day. 5th graders ski and snowboard for free with a paying, accompanying adult.
- Angel Fire Resort is the only resort in the state to offer nighttime skiing, boarding and tubing.
- Angel Fire Resort is a member of the Powder Alliance - now with your season pass to Angel Fire you get free lift tickets at 11 other ski resorts throughout the United States - for more information go to www.powderalliance.com.
- New this season is The Winter Family Pass: For $168.00, plus taxes and fees, the family will receive: 1 nights lodging in a standard room, 2 Snowshoe passes & 2 Snowshoe rentals for 1 day, 1 Day Family Sledding Hill Pass and 1 Sledding Disk. Blackout dates and other restrictions may apply.

The New York State Education Department received federal approval to eliminate an unpopular layer of extra math tests for thousands of middle school students, officials announced today.
Federal laws require students in third through eighth grades to take math and English testing, the results of which are used to evaluate school and teacher performance. Up to 60,000 seventh and eighth grade students taking advanced coursework have also had to take high school-level math exams.
The "double-testing" has received heightened scrutiny from parents and teachers who say class time is increasingly focused on preparing for end-of-year tests. State officials, who have been under pressure to revise many of its new education policies around teacher and learning standards, applied for a waiver from the federal testing laws in November.
"The Regents, the Chancellor and I are committed to reducing the amount of time students spend on tests and eliminating any tests that don't inform instruction or improve student learning," Commissioner John King said in a statement.
A copy of the press release about the announcement is below.
State Education Commissioner John B. King, Jr. announced today that the United States Department of Education (USDE) has approved New York State's request for a waiver from the provisions of federal law that currently require students who take Regents exams in mathematics when they are in seventh or eighth grade to also take the state mathematics assessment. The waiver will effectively end the "double-testing" of these students, beginning with the spring 2014 assessments.
"USDE's approval of New York's waiver request means the end of double-testing for nearly 60,000 New York students," said King. "The Regents, the Chancellor and I are committed to reducing the amount of time students spend on tests and eliminating any tests that don't inform instruction or improve student learning. Testing is an important part of the instructional cycle and good, sound assessments are necessary to monitor student academic progress. But we have repeatedly said that the amount of testing should be the minimum necessary to inform effective decision-making. Our successful waiver request is an example of New York's commitment to smarter, leaner testing."
At their October 2013 meeting, the Board of Regents directed the State Education Department (SED) to submit a request to USDE to waive provisions of the federal law that require states to measure the achievement of standards in mathematics using the same assessments for all students. The approved waiver will relieve teachers and schools from having to prepare students in seventh and eighth grade who are receiving instruction in Algebra I for multiple end of year assessments. Currently, seventh and eighth grade students who are receiving instruction in Algebra I and who take the Regents Examination in Algebra I (Common Core) are also required to take the NYS Common Core Mathematics Test for the grade in which they are enrolled. School districts will now be allowed to administer only the Regents Examination in Algebra I (Common Core) to these students, eliminating the need for double-testing in grades 7 and 8. This provision also applies to students in grades 7 and 8 who receive instruction in Geometry and who take the Regents Examination in Geometry.
Other than two high school history Regents exams, all required state tests – including all grades 3-8 assessments; secondary-level exams in English, math and science; alternate assessments for students with disabilities; and annual assessments for English language learners (ELLs) – are required by federal law. The State has not created any additional tests as part of Common Core implementation, and the Department is currently developing "Teaching is the Core" Grants to encourage the reduction or elimination of locally selected pre-tests and locally bargained and selected achievement measures. With respect to the existing State tests, SED reduced the number of questions and testing time on the federally required assessments for grades 3-8, and our State budget request will include funding to eliminate multiple-choice stand-alone field tests. SED is also asking the U.S. Department of Education for flexibility to use for accountability purposes Native Language Arts tests for Spanish speaking ELLs who are newly or recently arrived to the United States and permission to allow testing at instructional level rather than chronological age for students with significant cognitive disabilities not eligible for the New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA).
Here's what Mayor Bill de Blasio said about schools today in his inaugural address, which continued his campaign theme of "A Tale of Two Cities":
We will ask the very wealthy to pay a little more in taxes so that we can offer full-day universal pre-K and after-school programs for every middle school student. And when we say "a little more," we can rightly emphasize the "little."
Those earning between $500,000 and one million dollars a year, for instance, would see their taxes increase by an average of $973 a year. That's less than three bucks a day – about the cost of a small soy latte at your local Starbucks.
Think about it. A 5-year tax on the wealthiest among us – with every dollar dedicated to pre-K and after-school. Asking those at the top to help our kids get on the right path and stay there. That's our mission. And on that, we will not wait. We will do it now.
Of course, I know that our progressive vision isn't universally shared. Some on the far right continue to preach the virtue of trickle-down economics. They believe that the way to move forward is to give more to the most fortunate, and that somehow the benefits will work their way down to everyone else. They sell their approach as the path of "rugged individualism."
But Fiorello La Guardia — the man I consider to be the greatest Mayor this city has ever known — put it best. He said: "I, too, admire the 'rugged individual,' but no 'rugged individual' can survive in the midst of collective starvation."
So please remember: we do not ask more of the wealthy to punish success. We do it to create more success stories. And we do it to honor a basic truth: that a strong economy is dependent on a thriving school system. We do it to give every kid a chance to get their education off on the right foot, from the earliest age, which study after study has shown leads to greater economic success, healthier lives, and a better chance of breaking the cycle of poverty.
We do it to give peace of mind to working parents, who suffer the anxiety of not knowing whether their child is safe and supervised during those critical hours after the school day ends, but before the workday is done. And we do it because we know that we must invest in our city, in the future inventors and CEOs and teachers and scientists, so that our generation – like every generation before us – can leave this city even stronger than we found it.
Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio continued his pre-inauguration appointment spree today with five more picks, including the man who will negotiate the next round of municipal labor contracts.
Robert Linn, whom de Blasio's transition team describes as "a life-long negotiator of labor contracts and arbitrator of labor disputes," will head the Office of Labor Relations. Among his chief tasks will be negotiating labor contracts for municipal unions that have gone without them for a while, in some cases for years, and are angling for retroactive pay raises that de Blasio has said he does not intend to offer without cost savings to even out the city's balance sheet.
UFT President Michael Mulgrew responded to the appointment today by emphasizing the tough road ahead.
"We have a lot of work to do on the city's labor contacts, and we look forward to professional negotiations based on integrity and respect," Mulgrew said.
Visiting colleges is getting a little bit easier for New York high school students from low-income families.
The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation is earmarking $500,000 for organizations that take low-income students on college tours, according to an announcement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office today.
"The costs involved in a college campus visit can be a barrier to attending college for low-income students," the corporation's acting president, Elsa Magee, said in a statement. "We're excited to work with partners who will help spur enthusiasm and motivation for college in traditionally underserved students by allowing them to experience college first-hand without having to worry about the associated costs."
Research suggests that early exposure — in the form of awareness and, yes, visits — can be key to making college a goal for students who might otherwise not pursue higher education, and many city schools have their own programs for getting low-income students onto college campuses already.
For the fifth straight year, the Fund for the City of New York and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation gave city teachers awards for excellence in teaching science and mathematics.
The honorees were nominated by students, parents, colleagues, and administrators and then selected by a committee made up of representatives from local science museums and universities, based on their students' achievement, their involvement in extracurricular activities, and their efforts to promote math and science inside and outside the classroom. Schools with winning teachers each received $2,500 to support their math and science programs, and the teachers took home $5,000.
Here are this year's recipients, along with a highlight about each that we pulled from longer biographies compiled by the Sloan Awards. (Here are last year's winners, and 2011's.)
Teacher: Eloise Thompson
Subject: College Algebra/Pre-Calculus, AP Statistics
School: DeWitt Clinton High School, Bedford Park, Bronx
Why her school thinks she's great: Thompson, the youngest of 14 children, attended Bronx schools herself and now has developed a reputation at a struggling school for connecting personally with her students.
Helen Rogosin, a kindergarten teacher at Manhattan's P.S. 110, is among this year's Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching winners, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Rogosin and 101 other teachers will each receive $10,000 from the National Science Foundation and get a chance to visit the White House. She was honored for excellence in teaching science, while another teacher from Dobb's Ferry won for math instruction.
Two years ago, Rogosin won a grant to develop a paleontology curriculum she wrote called "We dig reading about dinosaurs."
This year, the White House honored kindergarten through sixth grade teachers; next year, secondary grades teachers will be eligible for the honor. Nominations are open now.
Chancellor Dennis Walcott has a packed school-visit schedule for his last day of classes as chancellor. But he won't be leaving his home borough on Friday.
According to a schedule distributed by the Department of Education, Walcott will start the day by walking his grandsons to school at P.S. 36 in Queens and will end it with a visit to his own alma mater, I.S. 192. In between, he'll stop by Bard High School Early College Queens (with Mayor Bloomberg) and Queens Metropolitan High School, two schools that opened under Bloomberg, as well as Francis Lewis High School, from which he graduated in 1969.
Walcott also visited Francis Lewis in his first week as chancellor in 2011. In general, his school-visit pace was far faster than that of his two immediate predecessors, Cathie Black and Joel Klein. He told GothamSchools this week that visiting schools was a highlight of his administration.
The Department of Education has just announced a renewal hearing for Northside Charter High School in Williamsburg early in the new year.
The school wasn't always supposed to live this long. In early 2012, the state announced that it would close Believe Northside Charter School and another school because of management and financial improprieties by their network. But the state dropped that plan after the school separated from the network, whose founder and CEO, Eddie Calderon-Melendez, was later indicted for tax fraud and grand larceny. The school officially dropped "Believe" from its name in April.
Now, the school is seeking permission to continue to operate through 2019. The city invites "anyone interested in learning" about the school's bid for a charter renewal to a hearing Jan. 8.

Sure would. I think that would work out well. I'm doing a lot more beauty work as part of my working sets going forward. Would love to do this with you.
Among other things, of course!
Hi Kate...
I love your Lily Cole like roundish face. You're a lovely one. The hair too is a beautiful feature. I think we could do something together that would rock.
I probably wouldn't want you smiling quite so much - not that a smile is a bad thing, but my own book leans towards an emphasis on somewhat more subdued moods. I think an implied, black and white treatment for you similar to a few I have in my port would be fabulous. I have another idea or two as well, but generally I'd say yes..if you put yourself in my hands, we could do something interesting things.
Absolutely we would. I dig your look a lot. Beautiful features.
We would produce a lot of keepers.
I have in the past, but do so very rarely. Usually if there's a compelling hook for me of some kind that appeals. I don't think you and I would really be able to pull that off..sorry.
Absolutely. This convinces me in a heartbeat.
Possibly, but your ink would be a major distraction for something like this. Hard to say until you tried.
Absolutely. I think you could nail that nicely.
It would certainly be a different thing in your book. You should give it a shot! I'm sure you can find someone local to give it a try with?
I think we could do something nice together, but I'd have a condition attached. You can PM me for what it is - it's nothing bad, but not something I would want to say publicly. But I do think we could do something cool.
Not really feeling it - so I'm leaning towards probably not.
You have a lovely look, and I think I'd say yes...in two years time.

The averaging period used for the following assessment was 1981–2010.
The month opened with a showery and cool regime, and there were frosts in some areas, but for much of the time between 6th and 14th pressure was higher and milder air covered the country. An exceptionally wet spell from 19th to 26th brought widespread disruption from flooding and landslips; some areas had up to twice the whole month's normal rainfall amount within the space of a week. The last few days of the month were much colder, drier and brighter with some snow in the north.
The UK mean temperature was 0.4 °C below the 1981-2010 average. Rainfall totals for the UK overall were 111% of the long-term average. However, some places in a band from Devon to Humberside had up to twice their normal amount, whereas Northern Ireland and north-east Scotland were drier than average. The UK sunshine figure for the month was also 111% of average, with the sunniest area being Northern Scotland.
A maximum temperature of 16.4 °C was recorded at Kew Gardens (Greater London) on the 13th. A minimum temperature of -7.3 °C was recorded at Braemar (Aberdeenshire) early on the 29th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 on the 25th, 88.4 mm of rain fell at Holne (Devon). A wind gust of 86 mph was recorded at Capel Curig (Gwynedd) on 22nd. Snow depths of 2 cm were observed at Warcop Range (Cumbria) at 0900 on 26th, Albemarle (Northumberland) at 0900 on 27th and Shap (Cumbria) at 0900 on 30th.
A small low pressure system brought heavy rain, strong winds and some snow across southern England on 4th. This caused localised flooding resulting in transport disruption across the south, while over 5 cm of snow fell across parts of Somerset, Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire and north Dorset.
There was heavy rain across south west and western Scotland on 19th and Comrie (Perthshire) suffered flooding as a river burst its banks; rail services were briefly disrupted in some parts of central Scotland. A few trees were also blown over locally in Scotland and Northern Ireland causing short-lived power cuts.
For England and Wales, the 7-day period from 20 to 26th November was one of the wettest weeks in the last 50 years. A succession of heavy rain events affected a swathe from Devon to north-east England. The floods and storms led sadly to several fatalities. There were widespread flooding problems, particularly to transport routes with flooding of roads and landslips, and in total well over 1000 properties were flooded. Most dramatically, a bank of the Great Western canal collapsed near Tiverton, draining the canal into the surrounding land. Many roads and rail services - including both main railway lines from the south-west to London - were closed due to flooding and landslips. In Exeter, a large retaining wall collapsed. In Plymouth, there was some structural damage reported due to high winds. There were reports of fallen trees and structural damage to buildings in the West Midlands. Roads were affected by flooding across north Wales and in Llanberis (Gwynedd) around 100 homes were affected by flash-flooding. Further flooding affected Ulverston, Cumbria and parts of Dumfies and Galashiels. By the 26th parts of Newcastle and a hospital in Northallerton were affected by flooding. Across north-east England, further roads were closed and rail services affected - including the East Coast main line near Darlington.
After a cold and showery start, it became rather milder mid-month. A succession of heavy rainfall events from 20th to 27th caused widespread disruption from flooding and landslips, first in the south-west and the Midlands, then across the North of England. The month concluded with a spell of colder and finer weather.
The mean temperature was 0.4 °C below the 1981-2010 average. Rainfall totals were generally near or above average, with many places in a line between Devon and Humberside receiving up to twice the monthly average. However, the overall rainfall figure for England of 137% of normal was much less than November 2009 (194%). Sunshine totals were near or above average in most areas.
After a cool and unsettled showery start, it became rather milder mid-month. A succession of heavy rainfall events affected many areas during 20th-27th, causing significant flooding and landslips, along with further disruption caused by strong winds. The last few days of the month turned drier and colder.
The mean temperature was 0.7 °C below the 1981-2010 average. Rainfall totals were a little above average overall, and highest (up to 150% of normal) in the far south and the far north of Wales. Sunshine totals were mostly a little above normal.
The month began with some cold nights and autumnal showers, before becoming milder and wetter. In the last few days of the month it became colder and more settled with widespread frosts and some snow, mainly across higher ground.
The mean temperature was 0.4 °C below the 1981-2010 average. Rainfall totals varied from around 130% of average in parts of the Borders to less than 50% in parts of the north-east. Sunshine totals were below normal in the south-west but above average in central and northern Scotland.
The month began with some cold days, before turning milder but much more unsettled, with showers and periods of rain interspersed with drier, brighter interludes. The end of the month, and the month overall, were drier and colder than average.
The provisional mean temperature for the month was 1.0 °C below the 1981-2010 average. Rainfall totals were below average, with only around 60% across County Antrim and County Londonderry. Provisionally, it was the driest November for Northern Ireland since 2004. Sunshine totals were near normal, or somewhat above in the east.

DIY Design: Make a French Dot Constellation Table Runner!
Do you embroider, or have you ever thought about trying it? If you're up for giving it a go, then consider this pretty constellation table runner. It might look really hard and impressive, but the steps themselves are easy:
This tutorial comes from Jessica of Miniature Rhino, which she shared as part of Design*Sponge's 101 Embroidery series. In an effort to evoke spring and the spirit of stargazers, you'll find Ursa Major and Minor, Cygnus, Draco, Virgo, Orion, Gemini, and more all stitched into the piece. "It's definitely a statement piece that shines and shimmers with the addition of sequins held in place by french knots," she wrote.
(I also love the inky blue fabric, and think it looks wonderful spread across a wood table!)

ohhh this is a GREAT idea! I'm short of ideas of how to dress a table without a "bulky" cloth effect, and this looks spare but lush at the same time.
That is so beautiful!
Wow, that's truly beautiful design, we can also add some more creativity in that. Great stuff, indeed. :)
I'm obsessed with those copper plates. Where are they from?

Not everyone is blessed with beautiful fireplaces in their homes–but that doesn't mean everyone can't enjoy the benefits.
If your house or apartment doesn't lend itself to a chimney, consider a faux fireplace. There are a lot of options from portable fireplaces to ones that are actually built into the wall, complete with a mantle. You can choose to go all out with a gas fire or simply decorate with candles.
Some of the best examples of faux fireplaces that we seen were once actual working fireplaces but due to age, disrepair or zoning requirements the fireplaces are no longer functional but instead of just leaving a hole in the wall the homeowners decided to make the most of the space. One of the best examples of this is a former fireplace that was turned into a magnetic chalkboard for kids.
Here are some of our favorite faux fireplaces that we hope inspire you to build your own.

Massachusetts Lawmakers Examine "Fairness" of State Tax Code
Mar 3 2014
Michael Widmer, a member of the committee and president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, voted against the graduated income tax measure, saying it would undercut the creation of jobs and be counterproductive toward the goal of a more competitive economy.
Tax Fairness Commission recommends graduated income tax
Feb 26 2014
Before they opted not to take a single vote on the entire report, Michael Widmer, president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, said he planned to vote against the final report, largely because of the graduated income tax recommendation.
Massachusetts Tax Fairness Commission to recommend lowering state income taxes for the poor, increasing them on the wealthy
Feb 26 2014
"The problem with those proposals is they pose a larger tax on the very individuals who are making decisions about where to build their businesses, whether in Massachusetts or other states," said Michael Widmer, a committee member and president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation. "The only solution to the dilemma facing Massachusetts is to create jobs, and this would undercut the creation of jobs and be counterproductive toward the overall goal of a more competitive Massachusetts economy."
Tiny cut in Massachusetts income tax expected in new year
Dec 3 2013
Michael J. Widmer, president of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, said his organization is anticipating that the .05 percent cut in the income tax will take place on Jan. 1. "It seems like a virtual certainty," Widmer said.
WMass businesses against income tax hike
Apr 24 2013
According to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, the House plan dedicates about $680 million dollars in revenue to the state's road and transit needs, while the Senate proposal commits about $800 million dollars.
Local economists back Patrick's tax hike plan
Mar 11 2013
Widmer expressed concerns that parts of the governor's tax plan may hurt those it seeks to help. "Many of these 44 personal income tax exemptions . . . are beneficial to lower-income and middle-income people," he said. "You're investing in higher education appropriately, but on the other hand the state would now tax scholarships. It gives with one hand and takes away with the other."

Mar 1 2013
The analysis, by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, found that the eliminations would raise an additional $1 billion for the commonwealth.
Governor's 'revenue' plans KOs exemptions
Feb 4 2013
Gov. Deval Patrick's planned shifting of the income and sales tax rates would essentially result in a revenue "wash" and the bulk of $1.9 billion in new revenues under his tax code overhaul would come from eliminating specific exemptions and deductions, according to the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
TWIB: Analyzing Gov. Deval Patrick's tax plan
Jan 20 2013
Mass Taxpayers Foundation President Michael Widmer gives us his take on Governor Deval Patrick's $1.9 billion tax increase proposal to help improve transportation and education in Massachusetts. This past week, the governor called for a 1 percent boost in the state's income tax and a reduction in the state's sales tax.
Editorial: Taxpayers can't afford Patrick's plans
Jan 18 2013
"Clearly the changes make the state's tax system more progressive, but it is a large increase to impose on those who make the decisions whether to invest in Massachusetts, especially in a fragile economic environment," Michael Widmer, president of the business-backed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, told the Associated Press.
