Table Of Contents
Walk to everything downtown from our turn-of-the-century inn. Enjoy our beautiful gardens including the water garden in the courtyard behind the main inn. In the lower garden, swing in the rain if you want to because we have a covered swing. There is also the "secret garden" which you enter from the lower garden. Our breakfasts include several courses and we cater to special requests from our guests. We have queen and king beds, central air conditioning, and cable TV and wireless Internet. Small weddings are also held in our lower gardens from time to time. Since you can walk to everything downtown, just take advantage of our off-street parking and relax and enjoy all that Downtown Staunton has to offer.

A separate historic Carriage House featuring a newly-renovated interior is also available.

Why do so many couples decide to elope? These days, elopement weddings can be quite elegant -- even elaborate. Or you may choose to have a warm and casual wedding. You can design your wedding to be just the way you want it to be. More and more couples are deciding to elope because:
- They want the style of wedding that suits them as an individual couple
- They may not want to offend one side of the family that may live a long distance away
- They find it is much less stressful!
- They want to have control over the situation
- They want to save time. With elopement packages, a beautiful classic wedding can be arranged in a few days
- They want to eliminate the possibility of getting nervous or emotional in front of a large group of people
- They want to save money for other priorities such as a home, education, or travel. Or they may just want to spend the money they save on their wedding to have a nice long honeymoon
If you, or someone you care about is stressing out over plans for a big wedding, you might want to look into the alternative for an elegant or casual elopement -

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — House Speaker Bobby Harrell said Thursday he expects South Carolina to be sued over a panel's decision to disregard the state budget and increase employees' health insurance costs anyway. And he expects the state to lose.
Harrell, R-Charleston, said the Budget and Control Board likely lacked the authority to split the cost of premium hikes between workers and employers after the Legislature passed a budget that fully funded the increases.
"I'm not angry, just frustrated by the action," he said, adding that defending an expected class-action lawsuit will just cost the state more money.
Gov. Nikki Haley, chairman of the five-member board, convinced a majority on Wednesday to buck the budget in approving rates to take effect Jan. 1. It's believed to be an unprecedented override for what has previously been a procedural vote. State law requires the board's approval by mid-August to prepare for open enrollment in October, when employees can make changes to their health plans for the coming year.
The 3-2 vote means rates will increase 4.6 percent for both workers — past and present — and employers, which include state agencies, school districts and public colleges. The state health plan covers 415,310 residents: public employees, retirees and their spouses and children.
It would mark the second consecutive year of split increases. Last January, rates increased 4.5 percent for both employers and workers — employees' first increase in years. Agencies' contributions increased by 10 percent in both 2008 and 2011.
If the board had followed the budget, bearing the full cost would have cost employers 6.4 percent more starting Jan. 1. The budget distributed the necessary $20.6 million to agencies and schools to cover that, but the vote means only $14.8 million of that is needed. Haley said that surplus should sit in state coffers to become part of 2013-14 budget decisions.
Senate President Pro Tem John Courson, R-Columbia, was among senators Thursday calling on the board to reconvene and reverse what they called a violation of the law.
But Haley's office made clear she won't reconsider.
"All we are asking for is fairness — a shared expense by state employees and taxpayers," Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey said. "We will always fight for state employees, but we believe they'll understand that it's not right for the taxpayers to pick up the increased cost of their health insurance."
Democratic Sens. Darrell Jackson and Joel Lourie, both from Columbia, said Haley's move amounts to a back-door veto. They noted Haley could have used her line-item veto power as part of the budget process, but she didn't touch that issue.
Legislators agreed in the 2012-13 budget to fully fund the premium hikes to ensure workers noticed an increase in their take-home pay following four years without a raise. The approved budget provided 3 percent raises for most state employees — 5 percent for state law enforcement officers — while requiring, as part of a new pension reform law, that employees contribute an additional 1.5 percent of their salary toward their retirement.
Covering health care increases was part of the larger compromise on worker pay.
"We felt it was interlocked," Courson said.
In her executive budget proposal, Haley provided no raises to public workers and split the cost of the health care premium increases.
But when Haley didn't veto those items in the Legislature's budget, Courson said, "we assumed everything was fine."
The board's dissenting votes came from the panel's two legislative leaders.
"I'll never vote to undo what the General Assembly did," said Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman, a board member. "I think it's mandated to be drawn down as the General Assembly provided in the appropriation bill. I don't think we or anyone else has the authority to go behind the General Assembly."
Haley repeatedly said Wednesday that workers should have "some skin in the game."
House Minority Leader Harry Ott said they do, after years with no raise, furloughs that reduced their salaries and layoffs that increased their workloads.
"She continues her total disregard for state workers and teachers," said Ott, D-St. Matthews.
He noted the move is not going to help the Republican governor's already contentious relationship with the Republican-controlled Legislature.
"She's now clearly said I don't care what the General Assembly did. I don't care what's in their budget. I'm going to undo it," he said. "At some point, she's got to understand she's the governor and not a candidate for some other office, and work with the General Assembly."
On average, agencies will pay an extra $19 monthly, while employees and retirees will pay $7 more. Specific amounts by plan are not yet determined.
Currently, employees' contributions for the standard health plan range from $98 monthly for a single, non-smoker to $367 monthly for full family coverage with a smoker in the household. Employers pay between $292 for single workers to $724 for full families.

Today is a day that comes just 12 times every 100 years -- 11/12/13. Here are some other intriguing dates that have been the source of fascination and speculation.
12/31/99 – The Prince song "1999" enjoyed new life as the world amped up massive celebrations in preparation for the new millennium. There was widespread fear that the world's data storage systems would fail, since many computers were programmed to handle only two-digit year dates. People thought the "Y2K bug" would shut down the world's computers and data storage systems. It didn't.

Ku Klux Klan banners hang at York University
Artist Deanna Bowen says work is meant to be provocative
Three Ku Klux Klan banners prominently displayed in the vitrines overlooking York University's Accolade East colonnade are causing people who pass by everyday to literally trip over themselves.
These pieces are part of a daring art exhibition at the Art Gallery of York University entitled Invisible Empires, which presents a collection of archival material that shows how the violent white supremacist organization had a role in 20th century Canadian history—not just American history as many Canadians likely believe.
Hanging such banners on campus seemed likely to cause an uproar among people of colour, and some were indeed initially upset. However, it seems to have sparked a conversation.
"They're not put up to be harmful," says Deanna Bowen, the black Toronto artist behind the exhibit. The banners are "meant to get you inside to hear more about this history."

Perfect paint colours for your BedNest
Nicky Line - Monday, March 12, 2012
Well now BedNesters, never let it be said that all we do here at HQ is create bedheads - we want to help make your whole BedNest perfect, a sanctuary, an escape and somewhere that just shouts RELAX! So today we're talking paint colours.
Dulux recently received details of the Top 10 favourite paint colours in Australia - a list that includes classic whites and neutrals to suit any BedNest. Number 1 and number 3 are absolute favourites of mine and have been used time and again in various projects. No 3 is the colour of my very own BedNest pictured below!
No 1 is Antique White USA - the ultimate ivory tone - not a warm cream or stark white but right in-between.
No 2 is Natural White - a truly versatile white that works indoors and out.
No 3 Hogs Bristle - the perfect subtle natural tone for when white isn't right but you still want an understated neutral. This is a truly uplifting tone, nothing drab or "beige" here, and is great for a bedroom. It works particularly well with Husk Driftwood (our best-selling fabric) as shown above on the Florence bedhead.
Could this be the update your BedNest needs?

Praying that things will work out for you. The house looks so pretty with a fresh coat of paint. I would spend a lot of my time sitting in that porch swing. It is so inviting! Happy 4th! Love & blessings from NC!
If you had the time? What ever are you talking about! Your booth looks very nicely done already!! If I was in that shop, I would seriously race over to your spot. Now you have inspired me to find an old peeling ice cream parlor round type seat chair (not sure what they are called) like the one by your booth desk. Oh that house is so perfect.. so much to love about it.. so excited for you!!!! Have a fun wkend! x
yay!!! I love transom manor.... I think that the other house fell through because this is your home!

Hi Anne, I had to check back to see how house buying was going... Good luck it is soo cute:-) I love your booth too, the suitcase of goodies is perfectly posed:-)
oh if it only was that easy. i would have you do my home also. when i read that i laughed out loud. that tickled me. Bestest,Denise
"Hi" from another TX gal. That house will be so much fun to "gussy up" as my grandmother used to say. :)
I think it's a lovely omen that the door is in the corner of a house that may be the "Transom Manor" home of a girl....that has a window in the corner of her blog header.
It's a lovely house for a lovely couple.
Your booth looks awesome! Great displays, and what's the coin operated machine? I bought an old Kotex machine from one of the dealers at my store, and I love it, hangs in my bathroom. And I'm hoping all works out with this house. It truly has great potential.
Take care, Sue
Anne I want to come visit you! I love the booth and the house is awesome! You are so truly blessed. I have your button on my blog. You have to come visit me soon so you can see it! I was technically clueless. I am slooowly learning this stuff! Now for the crafty part of the blog stuff. Happy 4th sweet lady! Anne
Hi, Your booth is awesome and location has a lot to do with whether you sell or not. I keep thinking about trying the mall again and then I think about the time that I don't have to do it justice. Your house has a lot of country charm and so much potential. I like the front porch. The doors are something you don't see to much of anymore, but all of the transoms will definitely let the air circulate. I will keep my fingers crossed that you get this house. Your Missouri Friend.
I see lots of things in your booth I wish could come home with me. Good luck with the house and we will all be waiting to see how you decorate.
xo, Sherry
Thats a beautiful house!! I love the after all white..A True Cottage..That front entrance is just begging for a beautiful climbing pink Rose bush....gorgeous!!!

It would surely draw me in, with all the layers of things tucked here and there. I hope all goes well with the new home.
Your posts are always a treat to read; you come across as so authentic and approachable. These are 2 qualities I admire.

I didn't know you got a primo space! Must have missed that, sorry, or I would have sent congratulations sooner. That's my dream, when I retire in 14 years (& counting LOL) to have my own booth space around where I live. I'm already doing research and learning all I can so when retirement arrives, I'm ready. I plan on traveling to all the cool flea markets, estate sales, and antique weekends I can (as soon as I can figure out how to drive more than an hour without getting sleepy!). Congrats again!
I am lovin' your booth, looks fabulous and full of so many beautiful things. Good luck with the house.

Meet our Students
Meet Sasha TangherianSasha Tangherian moved to the United States from London, England at the age of 14. As a teenager, he was eager to explore the new culture. The transition from England to the United States was easy for Sasha, and he soon felt like he was home. Although Sasha thrived in his new environment, he soon lost track of his future goals. "In my later teen years I was too excited and forgot about my future goals, resulting in me dropping out of high school. I finally decided to go back to school when I was 19, but it was not easy returning to the student mentality." A close family friend who was also a high school dropout inspired him to once again pursue an education. "The family friend who inspired me to pursue education is now in their third year of residency. He showed me that it was possible to succeed with a gap in your education," says Sasha. It was difficult for Sasha to find an academic home and he "bounced around from college to college dropping out of classes and wasting time." When Sasha discovered MiraCosta College he immediately felt at home. "The friendliness of the population and the quality of instruction were the first things which got my attention," says Sasha. During his first semester, Sasha became involved in the Student Ambassador Program. Through the program, Sasha traveled to high schools, telling students all about MiraCosta College. "Kids that I had met at high schools would come up to me at MiraCosta the next semester, hug and thank me for bringing them here. It is the greatest feeling ever, and I hope to do it again next semester." Through the Student Ambassador Program, Sasha says that he has learned a lot about not only MiraCosta College, but also himself. "I grew to understand more about MiraCosta, which prompted me to become involved in the Associated Student Government. I assumed the role of president, so I could reach out to the community," says Sasha. "Going into the job I thought I knew what it was like to be a leader. After a year, I realized just how little I actually know about it. Leadership is a difficult thing to master, and I found out it is something I have to constantly work on." Sasha has been named one of the 2012 recipients of MiraCosta College's highest academic award, the Medal of Honor. When asked about the award, Sasha said "I accredit my academic success to my mother, professors, advisers, and friends. These people are constantly pushing me to better myself and are there whenever I need help. I couldn't have done it without them." "Thanks to MiraCosta College, my life has done a complete 360 degree turn; I am a 4.0 student and clearly see the path I am going," says Sasha. At MiraCosta College, Sasha found more than a place to study, "I found my academic home. I am constantly comparing MiraCosta College to a UC school, and if I could, I would get my bachelor's degree here." |

Do you know the character Madeline? In one of the stories, she awakens one night at boarding school with a bad pain in her belly. The doctor says it's her appendix causing the pain, so she's rushed to the hospital for an operation. Soon, she recovers and feels much better.
But what is an appendix and why would it need to be removed?
Your appendix (say: uh-pen-dix) is a small, finger-shaped pouch connected to your large intestine, in the lower right part of your belly, also called your abdomen. The appendix really has no purpose. So if a kid needs to have it removed, his or her body will work just fine after the operation. Some researchers think that many, many years ago, the appendix was once a useful part of the digestive system, but we don't need it anymore.
When your appendix gets inflamed, or swells up, it's called appendicitis (say: uh-pen-di-sye-tis). Both kids and adults can get appendicitis. There isn't always an obvious reason why appendicitis happens. Sometimes it happens after there is an infection in the intestine. Sometimes something causes a blockage in the appendix, then it gets inflamed.
Appendicitis is not contagious. This means you can't catch it from anyone who has it. But there isn't much you can do to prevent appendicitis from happening.
People have different types of symptoms when they have appendicitis. Someone with appendicitis might feel as if he or she is having stomach cramps or really bad indigestion.
Usually, the first symptom is a bellyache around the belly button. Sometimes, vomiting follows. After a few hours, the pains tend to move down to the lower right side of the belly. Sometimes the pain can become sharp and intense in this area — enough to keep a kid up at night.
A person with appendicitis will not feel very hungry and might have a slight fever. Some people do not want to move around because they feel better if they lie down and curl up.
Any time you have belly pain, you should tell your mom, dad, or the adult who's caring for you. If your doctor thinks you could have appendicitis, you would need to go in for an office visit or go to the emergency department. At either place, a doctor will examine you, paying close attention to your belly.
The doctor can check for tenderness over your abdomen, especially over the lower right side of your belly, a spot known as McBurney's point. This spot hurts if a kid has appendicitis. The doctor also may test a small sample of the blood to see if there are a high number of white blood cells, which means there could be an infection in the body. Sometimes, doctors will take a special picture like an X-ray, CAT scan, or ultrasound of the abdomen.
If the doctor decides that a kid has appendicitis, the appendix will need to be removed in an operation. To prepare for an appendectomy (the name for surgery that removes the appendix), a kid will be given anesthesia. This puts him or her into a kind of deep sleep and keeps the kid from feeling pain during the surgery.
During the operation, a surgeon will make a small cut in the abdomen and remove the appendix. The operation will leave a tiny scar.
After an appendectomy, a kid will stay in the hospital for a few days. The time that kids need to recover from this operation varies, but they usually return to school in about 1 to 3 weeks.
A person who's had an appendectomy will feel better soon, and won't feel any different without an appendix. And here's some more good news: The kid won't ever have to worry about appendicitis again!

Haye dominated at Cruiserweight and moved above his natural weight class and still found success Froch is forever #2 at 168 and he doesn't have the balls to move up to 175, the little ***** would wait for Ward to surpass him even further and move up instead |

I'm a Haye fan (we're both from SE London) but he didn't "dominate" the cruiserweight division. He beat Mormeck then Maccarinelli & then moved up. That's not dominating. That's a couple of good wins. His victory over Valuev was excellent but the rest were just so-so up til Klitschko when he was a tad disappointing. But the big thing about your post that doesn't make you look like a boxing fan is saying that "Froch doesn't have the balls to move up to 175". Why should he move from a talent laden division to a boring one? He's comfortable at Super middle. Haye was struggling to make cruiser & it's not a glamour division anyway. The heavyweight purses are generally tenfold what the Cruiserweight ones are. I love both fighters (in a manly way) but saying Froch doesn't have balls is just bizarre. |

OK. #First off, right out of the box, I do not want this thread to to go South or become a bashing forum. #I am only expessing my opinion from a general standpoint.
I have been out of circulation for several years and had not seen instruments by most of the builders present at Loarfest. #For example, the only 3 Master Models I have played was 3 years ago. #The last Nugget I played was 1-1/2 years ago. #There were enough mandolins present to get a feel for what each builders instruments generally would sound like. Between Greg Boyds display, the luthiers and folks in attendance, there was a lot to look at.
Using this as a reference point, I think my opinion should qualify as fresh and although a Loar fanatic, unbiased.
I was very surprised to find that most of the mandolins sounded more the same than uniquely different. #Some sounded better, but the response and general tone seemed the same. #They were all quite responsive, maybe to excess and complex in tone. #I believe this to be the "Modern Sound" we have seen referred to in other threads.
Could it be that we have engineered ourselves into a corner with all the specs and graduations and red spruce this and red spruce that?
They all sounded good, but none sounded like a typical Loar. #They all responded similar to Jack Shultz's Virzi Loar. #And if I had to pick one Loar that they seemed to sound the most like, it would be that one.
Any comments on these observations. #You really didn't have to be there.

Clinton but now we've got all country resale all where I'm from but all down and -- -- and a booming energy sector is what you.
Hi I'm.
Indeed very fun city of Houston is where you should be investing here Monday.
And we go to Melissa Francis she is on the ground there was a whole lot more hi Melissa.
That's right yet no matter how you say it -- knows what's making this city bailing do you decide there.
Mean it is another gorgeous day in Houston we -- downtown right now we are here yesterday and -- seeing what makes this city tick.
Employment is through the roof here it's a tremendous business climate -- what do you think makes -- in tech.
Well you just on the senate energy and do you know -- -- -- energy capitals of the world Quantum course you know that has its downside when you have a a bus and oil prices like we did back in the eighties.
It really drags on the city is a whole it just.
For the -- learned his lesson I mean I've seen -- -- of diversification easier over time and and we didn't see we saw oil drop a hundred bucks -- act in 2008 and it did not have the same devastating effect on the city.
-- well that's correct and we we have done a good job diversifying out of technology engineering and other areas.
But also to we didn't have the housing bust here we never had the ramp up in housing like other cities did.
And so when that bus came in housing -- didn't affect us nearly as badly.
Lance Roberts I'm not -- -- issued beginning there I was so interested in talking about the city -- the city CEO of street talk live right you have a radio show you due autonomy investing in investment advice would you like right now what are you telling me -- to -- Well when we talk about investing right now obviously we have kind of the -- there are back at the moment because of the latest round of QE3 so this is gonna push all asset prices higher.
So you know I still like the areas that benefit most from these type of program such as energy technology finance those will all -- well.
But the problem now is is that were much further into the cycle -- we were the first two times around.
So it's actually now more of an issue being careful of where you invest because people been chasing yields have been chasing junk bonds what -- term high yield.
Those are risky areas that if this ends badly in and there will be a recession at some point in the future.
Is those there is -- hurt so being Caucasian jumped ahead and ask you you what you want to avoid -- -- -- you don't -- junk -- -- don't -- but I don't like -- I think there's some great double B -- companies that have -- rated balance -- And of those are bonds that she can buy for your portfolio but chasing high yield bonds and of course -- seeing people buy triple C bonds double C rated bonds.
A lot of European credit.
Those are issues that is -- if we have an end result there's I think we will be unwinding of this of this leverage boom that we've had.
Those are the leaders he hit the most and they get hit the hardest so what do you like.
Well right now I'd still like companies that have good revenue growth over time such as your big blue chip dividend yielding companies should Johnson johnsons are Procter & Gamble -- Kellogg's.
Those -- the companies that regardless of what happens with the economy people are still gonna buy deodorant they're gonna brush their teeth and they're they're you know they're gonna eat food.
So those -- the areas that will be more stable.
In any type of economics from -- that you might have in the future.
Riskier I mean is there anything you would say about that -- I -- I mean if you look at that of fortune 500 list of the Forbes 400 as we were yesterday -- a lot of folks here with a lot of money.
Well exactly and so if you wanna see with the investing differently yes they invest differently because they -- energy centric.
Because these are the companies they know in most cases there's companies they work for a lot of people here have a -- -- preponderance of stock in their portfolios of the company they work for.
Particularly in energy sector so what you'll -- and he -- more than overweight in energy (%expletive) lesson of.
Areas they keep for that -- coming up at 1 PM on markets now what Lori -- we're gonna be targeted Jeff reader he's the managing partner -- -- what northwestern.
Mutual of Houston.
And we're -- to be talking about how much the economy here has been diversified -- -- about how they've gotten a week from oil and gas but what else they're doing that's a tremendous support here look at that beautiful city.
-- to see what other riches Houston -- -- back to you guys.

[Editor's Note: The following is the first chapter from Red Moon Rising, a new book from writer Matthew Brzezinski.]
One after another, the big ZIS limousines pulled away from the curb. Black and burly, their whitewall tires not yet soiled by slush, the armored behemoths glided gently through the snow--three-and-a-half-ton dancers in a synchronized automotive ballet.
From Central Committee headquarters on Staraya Square, the chrome-fendered procession headed east past Gorki Street and slipped under the shadow of one of the Gothic skyscrapers that Stalin had ordered built after the war. Seven of the sinister high-rises dominated the Moscow skyline, and they rose in stone layers like fifty-story wedding cakes decked in dark granite icing. On the Ring Road, another Stalinist creation, an eight-lane motorway that surrounded the city center in an asphalt moat, the dozen limousines and chase cars turned north, breezing past block after block of leviathan government buildings that heralded the new Moscow.
The old mercantile city had been branded with Stalin's indelible stamp; it was now a metropolis of bronze bas-reliefs of giant steelworkers with bulging forearms, of cast-iron tributes to collective farmers brandishing sixteen-foot scythes, of statues of Lenin six stories high. Monumental and monochromatic public works had risen on the trampled foundations of prerevolutionary pastel palaces. The gilded cathedrals of old were gone--ripped down or buried under layers of soot--and in their stead rose hulking cement fortresses whose towering porticos paid architectural tribute to the insignificance of the individual in the one-party state. Red banners hailing the Twentieth Party Congress draped the gray edifices, though the plenum had ended tumultuously two days before. glory to the workers, they proclaimed. peace to the proletariat. Beneath the propaganda placards, long lines of shoppers formed outside food stores, their breath steaming in the cold, while elderly women in fingerless gloves swept dirty snow from the sidewalks.
If Nikita Khrushchev noticed any incongruity between the lofty slogans and the harsh socialist reality of Moscow street-corner life, he said nothing to his driver, or to his son, Sergei, sitting beside him in the backseat. He had said more than enough at the Twentieth Congress, and although six weeks would pass before the Central Intelligence Agency got wind of his secret speech, the Americans would be just as stunned as the 1,500 shocked delegates who had heard him in the Great Kremlin Palace less than forty-eight hours earlier.
Father and son sat in silence, behind the ZIS's pleated curtains, watching the city stream drably past. Directly behind them, in the lane reserved exclusively for party high-ups, rode the three other Presidium members who had jointly ruled Russia since Stalin's death three years earlier: Nikolai Bulganin, Lazar Kaganovich, and Vyacheslav Molotov. Behind them, in descending order of importance, rode lesser officials in less imposing ZIMs and Pobedas: Dmitri Ustinov, the armaments minister; Aleksei Kirichenko, a new addition to the Presidium; and the usual entourage of KGB bodyguards and eager aides.
Khrushchev's car led the convoy, as befitting his new rank as first among equals in the Presidium, as the Politburo was then known. But the men in the rear were crowding his bumper, biding their time for an opportunity to overtake him. This Khrushchev knew, understood almost instinctively, from the survival skills he had honed during two treacherous decades in Stalin's inner circle. When the "boss" was alive, they had all vied for his favor, slid tomatoes onto each other's chairs in prank-filled drinking contests that lasted till dawn. Like sixty-year-old frat boys, they all laughed when Lavrenty Beria, the secret police chief and serial rapist, pinned little notes with the Russian word prick spelled in big Cyrillic letters on Khrushchev's unsuspecting back. But the day the boss died, the jokes ended and the plotting began. This Khrushchev also knew from personal experience, for it was he who had masterminded the coup against the psychopath Beria. Stalin's chief henchman and self-anointed successor had been dispatched with a bullet to the brain, and it was Khrushchev, the class clown of this murderous fraternity, who had unexpectedly emerged to fill the power vacuum.

I've toyed with saying this, but have always opted not to, instead pretending that the Paris Tasting of 1976 never happened. But with all the renewed publicity, especially with a big-city California newspaper dedicating three full pages of its wine section to covering the re-enactment of the event two weeks ago, I can no longer remain silent.

The Titans defense is giving up less than one passing touchdown per game, which should be a good test for Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
The Seattle Seahawks changed their team colors in 2002, switching up their blues and adding lime green piping to their uniforms. Love or hate the lime green, the real question is: has it made the Seahawks a more winning team?
Eric Decker gave one of his four touchdown balls to a boy who took it home and a few days later shared his amazing story with The Denver Post.
Peyton Manning looked like his early regular season self last Sunday, which could mean he has gotten his mojo back. Hopefully, that means his ankles are fully mended just in time for him to get the Broncos hot heading into the playoffs.
The Broncos pound the Chiefs into submission and take control of the AFC West. There was never really any doubt with Broncos fans, but its nice that the team and the fans can focus on chasing a title, instead of arguing with "what ifs".
Not a whole lot of interesting games out there this morning. Even though, we'll persevere until the biggest matchup of the week for us, the Denver Broncos travelling to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs.
I seriously need to stop proclaiming the Broncos are getting healthy. Not 6 hours after said proclamation, Derek Wolfe suddenly falls ill and may miss Sunday's game. My bet is he caught the Kiss of Death from yours truly. I accept full responsibility
The Broncos are getting healthy at just the right time. Now if only they could stop fumbling multiple times every game.
Enjoy Thanksgiving with your families today. Here's to another AFC West defeat today!
I actually didn't see or read about the Broncos practice, but I assume there was plenty of fumbling. Check out the video under the video recap section of this post for a full review of yesterday's practice in high definition color.
Another week, another prime time television event for the Denver Broncos. If it wasn't for Tim Tebow's brief stint of on the field stardom for the Broncos, this fan wouldn't be quite used to the spotlight around here.

Patriots Football Weekly's Erik Scalavino offers a film study breakdown of New England's dramatic Week 14 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Given the amount of comeback wins this season, it only seemed fair to spotlight Tom Brady's resiliency in the win over the Cleveland Browns. And that's exactly what we have in this week's player profile.
Patriots team photographers, Keith Nordstrom and David Silverman, offer up their best shots from the Cleveland Browns game on Sunday, December 8, 2013.
