Tips[edit | edit source]
- Engram-Grade Fur Gear(the ones made from the Smithy via earning Engrams) is not enough insulation. You will want improved Fur from the Deep Sea Loot Crates.
- The cave gets colder the deeper you go. You can be well-insulated at the entrance, and freezing to death at the artifact. A good idea is to bring some Fria Curry or Standing Torch (use angler gel).
- Direwolves are terrible swimmers. Whenever possible, take advantage of the floating snow "islands" to shoot them down while they swim.
- Or use a Grappling Hook and camp at the ice cave ceiling. You can easily kill all creatures from above using any kind of ranged weapons. Alternatively, you can skip fighting any creatures and just go through on the ceiling of the cave.
- Don't fall in the water. You will be swarmed by high-level Anglers and freeze, and your gear will be much harder to recover.
- Or gather all Piranhas and Anglers by swimming in the water and finish them with one rocket-propelled grenade. Don't forget to gather the meat and angler gel.
- There is at least one pitfall trap with water at the bottom from which you will not be able to escape without a Grappling Hook should you fall in (the one in question surrounds one of those green-lighted "sci-fi" monoliths).
- You will either need to grapple over or harvest some large Crystal that block your path occasionally.
- One or two dozens of well trained dimorphodons can help you clear the cave quite easily. Utilize your swarm tactics to overpower dangerous animals like Yetis and Direwolves and keep yourself safe while the swarm whittles away attacking animals.
- One of the best ways to navigate the cave outright is by avoiding the creatures within. The extreme cold already poses a massive threat, and animal attacks will only worsen the pain of traversing the Snow Cave. Since the creatures are all of high levels and any mishap can have terrible consequences, they are best avoided. Try to find the quickest route through the cave that involves minimal confrontation with creatures, but beware that you may still be needed to battle!
- Use the entrance, the player will be able to hit the other creatures with a ranged weapon but the other creatures won't be able to hit the player. The player can also lure the creatures to the entrance to make this tactic a little more effective, so that the hostile creatures will just stand in front of the entrance, and are basically an easy target.
- One of the easiest ways to even solo that cave is to bring at least 20 metal spikes and 3 sleeping bags. Always stick to the left site of the cave and place one spike in front of you, the creatures will gain damage and die but can´t damage the metal structure. At chokepoints its recommended to leave at least 1 spike as a safe spot if you want to carry out more than one artifact at once without a shoulder pet. The first part of the cave has 2 loot drops where you cant build so you need to sprint through it. Just jump over the water, then left over the crystals and down the waterfall. This way you just need 2 Grappling Hooks to complete the cavern, but make sure you don't have something on your cooker because it will take several hours to complete the cave. If your server/game has Structure Plus mod installed, this strategy can work better as you can pick it up and save resource and weight.
- With the introduction of Cryopod, you can now easily transport creatures in and out of the cave safely.
Creatures[edit | edit source]
Compatible Tamed Creatures[edit | edit source]
This table is incomplete.
You can help us by adding the tamed creatures you know can enter the cave. If the creature can't enter, please exclude it.
Accessibility Ratings:
- Excellent: Full-Cave Access (Entrance-to-Artifact)
- Limited: Can Access Portions of the Cave Safely
- Not Recommended: Can Get Stuck/Unable to Leave Cave
|Dung Beetle
|Not Recommended
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Even though the water will damage you when touched you can still use it to grab a quick drink and fill up your Canteen.
- Currently, this is the hardest cave in the game, newcomers beware and creatures are untameable. You can take creature's implants and revive them outside the cave to get a way higher level creature than the same species outside the cave.
- Araneo are capable of being ridden into the cave by sprinting through the second blue crystal while hugging the wall. This can be difficult to do, but once performed properly, your Araneo will have access to the rest of the cave. Keep in mind, once you have passed the first blue crystal, you will be unable to exit. On ARK mobile, tames can be teleported to you so you don't have to worry about loosing your Araneo.
- Seeing that a Rex fits inside the cave, breeding other dinos that are smaller than Rexes inside the cave can also be done to help complete the cave.
- All Red Chests found in the Snow Cave function differently than normal cave loot crates, in that their loot table is identical to the Deep Sea Ocean Crates. Given that the Snow Cave operates on a 3.25 - 4.0 item quality threshold, the end result are crates containing the ocean loot table at a higher than normal quality than anywhere else in the game.
- As a testament to how cold and deadly this cave is, at 4 frozen human bodies can be found in the cave.
- There is an absurd amount of Purlovia in the cave (not on Mobile) which will leap and stun/dismount you before you see the dirt piles, almost always resulting in death. It is advised to kill other creatures in the area first before proceeding past a Purlovia. Your best bet will be using a metal shield as it blocks initial damage, and then to use a high-powered melee weapon to finish it.
- On Mobile there are no Purlovia or Polar Bears inside the cave.
- Releasing a cryo'd Yutyrannus and riding that will not make the cave trivial, but it will make it considerably easier, as it can scare Purlovia out of their burrows, is too tall to aggro the Anglers, and its fear roar works on all land creatures. It also has better accessibility than Rexes in this cave.

Susan Rizzo Vincent, author of Dréa s Dream: An Unfinished Dance and founder of The Andréa Rizzo Foundation, has provided hope, comfort, and inspiration to countless individuals through her book, chronicling the experience of her and her daughter Andréa's overcoming of childhood illness only to be separated by an unforeseeable tragedy (read the review), and through the foundation she founded in Andréa's honor, which helps children with cancer and special education needs. Ms. Rizzo Vincent is a truly remarkable woman, helping others to heal by sharing her story and making Andréa's dreams of helping children through dance therapy come true.
I feel extremely honored Susan Rizzo Vincent recently took some time to talk to me about Dréa s Dream: An Unfinished Dance and The Andréa Rizzo Foundation for a feature here on The Daily Quirk. Read on for the interview…
The Daily Quirk: What made you decide to write Dréa s Dream: An Unfinished Dance? Was it to reflect on your journey or to help others going through similar tragedies?
Susan Rizzo Vincent: It was for two reasons. The second one was absolutely right. It was to help others through similar journeys and challenges. Also because of Andréa herself; it was her idea to write the book about our journey together. Through her surviving childhood cancer, overcoming learning disabilities and feeling as if she was possibly able to inspire someone else to say: no matter what your challenges are go for it. It was really her idea for us to write a book and I started doing the writing when she was very much alive and I was able to share that whole first section with her cancer experience, in the hospital. Which she couldn't remember. She was only a baby. So I was so glad. She had just started her first teaching job or just finishing up Salve at the time so I went ahead and got going on it. I was able to share that whole part about being at Sloan-Kettering with her. It was very emotional when I shared it with her. So it was her desire to help people and of course my desire to help people when the ending ended up being very different than what I had been expected to be writing about.
TDQ: How long did it take you write?
SRV: Well really and truly the first section I began when she was very much alive, so probably 12 years ago. And then because I was a full time teacher up until June 2011 I just kind of wrote little bits and pieces and of course those were after her death. I wrote them on my Christmas vacations. I retired in June 2011. That whole year summer 2011 through summer 2012 I finished the majority of the book in that one year. And then it was released in October of 2012.
TDQ: You share so much of yourself in this book. Was there any part that was particularly difficult for you to write?
SRV: The most difficult part to write was the part about the accident. When the accident occurred. And writing those moments. I remember sitting in the Narragansett Public Library. They had a quiet room there. And I would go there every Friday. That was part of my writing schedule. I remember sitting there and having to really put myself in those moments. And feel every one of those moments in order to describe it. So that was really the hardest part of the book to write.
TDQ: What is the number one thing you would like readers to take away from the book?
SRV: I want them to take away from the book that when you are facing a challenge that you should really number one remain open to the love that surrounds you and supports you. And let it give you strength so that you can take your experience and use it to find meaning and purpose in your life and helps others.
TDQ: Through this book you've helped so many others find hope and healing. Has it helped you as well?
I would say that the book has helped me to heal in that number one I feel as though through my entire grieving process – which of course when you lose a child –it really truly never ends. But through that process of grieving receiving support from others has been important. But also, because I began this foundation I have always felt that Andréa and I remain a team. In writing this book I really felt as if her strength and her message of never give up was really very much ever present and we remained a team throughout the writing of the book. I guess I felt, it helped me remain close to Andréa. That feeling that she's still here with me. We're still a team.
TDQ: Can you please tell our readers a little bit about The Andréa Rizzo Foundation? What are your hopes and dreams for the future of the foundation?
SRV: My hope for the future of the foundation is that we will be able to provide Dréa's Dream Dance Therapy Programming in every state in the country. We are in nearly twenty sites, schools and hospitals throughout the country. My hope is that we will be able to touch the lives of children with cancer and special needs nationwide. And at the same time one of the most beautiful things that has come out of the foundation is that we've gotten to support so many young dancers who understand the power of dance. And through that I have been able to create wonderful relationships with young people who have their own passion for dance and who have a desire to help others. It really just ignites in me a feeling that we are making a difference together. So my hope is to be able to reach every dance school, every dancer that we will become you know a very familiar cause for dancers. It will be the cause that every dancer wants to support.
Because again, it's not about – and I say this honestly – it doesn't really feel like fundraising. Because there is nothing I hate more than asking for money. I was an elementary school teacher my whole life and so this is an area that's not my strength. So instead what I've done is I've created beautiful relationships that are based on passion. It's the dancers who come to us and say that they want to make a difference. By helping them to make a difference it just makes me feel great. I would love for that to become huge. It's definitely recognized by many big dance organizations, but I would like it to become just universal.
It's a beautiful way for dancers to unite for a worthy cause, combine their passion with their love of dance, so it's really something from their hearts. That's our tag line: Let your heart move your feet. That truly resonates with them. They want to let their heart move their feet for kids with cancer and special needs and we do it together.
TDQ: How can readers who want to support the foundation get involved?

Shockwave therapy is a new technology used to treat bone conditions such as tennis elbow, shoulder pain and many others. The technique is adopted if the patients do not respond to physiotherapy. During the therapy, sound waves of high intensity are directed to the affected tissues of the body. This leads to combined beneficial effects such as stimulation of the production of collagen fibers, elimination of persistent inflammation and dissolution of highly accumulated calcium.
Shockwave therapy is particularly recommended for a patient suffering from heel associated problems. Heel pain is often caused by a condition referred to as plantar fasciitis. This condition is common among obese people, athletes, and people who spend most of the day on their feet on hard surfaces. The beauty of the therapy is that it involves a very brief healing process - most patients can be on their feet the next day - and has very minimal complications.
When you visit a medical center for the treatment, you will be amazed at how simple the process is, and how easy, contrary to the idea of many patients who are deterred by the dramatic name of the treatment. The technique of shockwave therapy involves, in essence, the creation of inflammation at the site, which leads to more blood flow and prompts the body to send nutrients and healing cells to the area.
The use of shockwave therapy in the treatment of foot problem is very significant in helping patients to recover more quickly from a condition. It is worth noting that the therapy is associated with many benefits as compared to surgery. The procedure is cost effective and safer compared to surgery because it is non-invasive and usually no anesthesia is required. This also means that the treatment has a very brief recovery time.
However, there has been controversy about the use of shockwave therapy. Some doctors see it as merely new-age hype, pointing to studies that show no significant improvement in patients who underwent the therapy compared with those on the placebo. There is literature to support both views, with a good deal of debate raging between sides. Critics also express doubt over the fact that the mechanism by which shockwave therapy works is not precisely known, though there are a number of theories.
The fact remains that shockwave therapy, though undoubtedly in need of more study, provides relief from pain for many with foot and other problems, and does so without a lengthy recovery time. Shockwave therapy is still young and not well understood, but with more research may soon grow into its full potential.

With treadmills you need to watch out for the effect included when your feet struck the belt your body takes in as much as 2 and a half times your body weight. A sound treadmill is an item of residence workout equipment that every participant of your household can enjoy. Air Conditioner electric motors that are found in some treadmill devices go for one continuous rate and count on a transmission to manage rate whereas systems powered by DC motors utilize variable voltage to control the speed at which the belt spins. A pre-programmed exercise registers your heart price without being linked to the treadmill by a cord or cable. Most treadmills include a digital console that displays workout comments such as speed, distance traveled, time you have been functioning out and calories shed.
Notice that some treadmill heart price screens clip onto an ear or, for even more exact readings, strap on the breast. Some treadmills monitor your heart by means of sensors built right into the frame that are gripped by the hands, however this can only be done if you are strolling not running. Security features on a treadmill are particularly essential if you plan to function out alone or if you have children who could accidentally launch the treadmill. The deck is the belt area on which real operating, running and also walking take place and see here https://www.gympros.com/matrix-treadmills/ for further clarification.

If you intend to utilize a treadmill totally for walking you are not likely to need an expensive high-grade maker. Commercial club treadmills are trusted and well-built do consider a home version. You will possibly want to get a device with a motor that provides 1.5 to 3 continual horsepower. Take into consideration bringing your water bottle and also towel to the treadmill store and also try their treadmills. To see to it that your treadmill is strong and comfortable and does not run noisily, step on it and examine it out before you buy. Walking, whether on a treadmill or not, is just one of the very best methods any individual can take towards fitness. If you have serious leg problems, a treadmill might not be the ideal choice of home workout devices for you.

Ventura Lambrate is confirmed as the nerve center of research and innovation, by converging prestigious academies and talented students. The best advice I can give is to not be shy, do not just look, but talk to the young designers. You'll fell their passion and you'll exchange with them inspirations and ideas.
I liked very much "The beat-shelf" by Van Tjalle en Jasper: think of all the ways in which to store books and magazines on the shelf.
Brera Design District is the showcase of choice for established designers, during the Milan Design Week there are many competitions, awards and social events. The Brera district is the one that takes longer to be visited, in fact unlike Lambrate and Tortona, is a bit 'more dispersive. The exhibits can occupy just a small room and are scattered within the neighborhood.
So arm yourself with curiosity and patience and be surprised by what you discover.
The Ray lamp by Jakub Berdych is stunning.
If Brera is a showcase, then Tortona Design Week is a walkway. The district offers interesting ideas but everybody visit the exhibition of SuperstudioPiù where being creative is not enough, we also want the special effects.
May be it's a fault of my geek soul, but the magazine rak WWW by Peter Travaglini is an object that I'd like to have in my office.
Many others are the projects that have impressed me, in the photo gallery at the bottom of this article there'e is my personal selection.
And what about you? What do you prefer?
We have many more.

Let's take a walk in Milan to see the images of Fuorisalone 2014 that struck me most.
Let's walk along the streets of Milan to explore the districts dedicated to design and let's collect in a photo gallery the most interesting objects.
Being in Milan these days means feeling the fresh air that envelops creativeness thanks to Design Week.

Greens sprawling twisting
Enveloping with breath
Eclectic wonder
Greens sprawling twisting
Enveloping with breath
Eclectic wonder
After months of solo roaming, I'm chilling in Romania when I get a message from a school friend living in London.
"How much longer till you fly back to New Zealand? I might join ya."
A few days later Michaela and I are wining and dining in Cluj-Napoca the infamous Romanian hub of the young and reckless.
We start the night in true Balkan style, with shots of Rakija the local Brandy. From there everything is a blur of colour; from a surreal Bogan heavy metal underground club (the wrong sort of ponytails) to salsa dancing with a swoon-worthy Dutch man (good pony)
Fast forward a few nights and we're trekking through Hoia Baciu deemed the world's most haunted forest. Known as the Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania because of the harrowing tales of UFO sightings, disappearances, unexplained burns and feelings of nausea.
At midnight our group abandones us. Not because of eery happenings but as Google maps seemed set on us circumnavigating the forest only. Very suspicious.
Michaela, Dutchie, a Kiwi fella and I venture on, determined to find something remotely terrifying but after a few hours of lack lustre adventures we too make the long walk home.
Next day Michaela and I decide to Hitchhike east to Timișoara. I spend all morning crafting the perfect sign in my Rakija induced state. A Bla Bla car happens to be going our way, so we catch a ride with a few locals instead.
Michaela is a sales woman by trade – all smiles, laughs and charm. From the back seat I can see a situation developing. Our Driver keeps bestowing us with gifts of home grown fruit. He starts casually touching her arm as he offers the fruit. And the offerings keep coming. Her laughs become feigned. Next thing he's trying to book into our Hostel.
I'm no Sales Women, but I've mastered the art of elusive behaviour. When we stop to drop another passenger off in town we jump out graciously, bid our farewells and head on our merry way with fruit for days.
R o m a n i a. I went there in search of Dracula, haunted castles and Gypsies. Yet Dracula and Vlad the Impaler were long gone. And Gypsies was apparently a politically incorrect term. Sigh.
Instead I stumbled upon a colourful place enchanting in its own right. Mystical mountain towns. A lot of city slicking. One too many sleepless nights. A slice of old school Europe pastures. Copious amounts of coffee'n in hipster cafes. A chance encounter with a dodgy puppy dealer. And most importantly an accomplice.
A few lil clips from that time an old friend spontaneously flew to Romania & we backpacked through there, Macedonia, Albania, Serbia & China. Next time I'm gonna get better videos. A few adventures to come soon, watch this space… ❄
I draw inspiration from some great muses, as I nostalgically reflect on adventures been and journeys to come.
"We need sometimes to escape into open solitudes, into aimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard, in order to sharpen the edge of life" George Santayana
Need is a strong word. And yet Santayana continues:
"There is wisdom in turning as often as possible from the familiar to the unfamiliar; it keeps the mind nimble; it kills prejudice, and it fosters humour."
I'm all for a nimble mind, and a good sense of humour.
"Abroad is the place where we stay up late, follow impulse and find ourselves as wide open as when we are in love" Pico Iyer
I stay up late at home, but generally disappoint myself with the sensibilities of life.
"We live without a past or future, for a moment at least, and are ourselves up for grabs and open to interpretation…" ]
You could be anyone. I inevitably always am myself. I think this is a good thing.
"There are, of course, great dangers to this, as to every kind of freedom, but the great promise of it is that, traveling, we are born again, and able to return at moments to a younger and a more open kind of self"
It's not being young per se that attracts me, but the sense of freedom and ability to frolic frivolusly.
"Traveling is a way to reverse time, to a small extent, and make a day last a year"
It is true. One the road days last forever. The stresses of life wither away. I laugh constantly.
Friendships created in days, felt like friends of old. I felt at home. Broad smiles, sun kissed tans and friendships built on beer pyramids. Many are transient, short and sweet. Yet a collection of people I've meet over the years stay with me, there faces etched in my memory.
"All good trips are, like love, about being carried out of yourself and deposited in the midst of terror and wonder….And that is why many of us travel not in search of answers, but of better questions"
If you're hiking in the Romanian woods and run into a bear, apparently you should play dead.
I'm not sure I'd trust my acting skills in such a dire situation. Then again, lying in foetal position in a frozen state of panic probably wouldn't involve that much acting.
If the bear proceeds to try and eat you, apparently it's then time to talk in a firm voice. I can't help but wonder if he'd understand the Kiwi accent?
Bear etiquette 101. This was quickly googled after many a traveller returned from Transylvanian hikes proclaiming they'd smelt bears.
Yes, no joke. Apparently you can litterally smell them.
"What sort of smell is it?" I enquired, ever so casually.
"You just know. Go the other way if you smell them."
Great. Very reassuring. Honey face masks probably not be happening this week.
But bears are not all grrrrrrrr. Sometimes they get depressed. I learnt all about it at the Libearty Bear Sanctuary in Brasov, Romania.
A lot of bears became depressed at the hands of cruel owners who used them to attract tourists. The bears would refuse to eat, or worse, self mutiliate – eating their own paws.
There were many other horrific stories as well. Bears with arthritis from being made to sit still for too long. Bears who had never been to the forest. Bears scared of other bears. Bears blinded from the flashes of tourist's cameras.
When you see these fellas with their soulful eyes, playful paws and feigned cuddly ways you can't help but feel incredibly sorry for them. But surely modern day tourists wouldn't be so stupid.
At the sanctuary there were many huge signs, warning of the electric fences around the enclosures. Our guide kept reiterating not to get more than 1m close.
Next thing there's a gasp, and everyone had gathered. As I got closer I realise someone had dropped their iPhone 6 in the enclosure.
"Who would be stupid enough to do that?" I muttered to myself.
"We did!" A couple next to me admitted sheepishly.
Opps. I feigned sympathy as they retold how he'd leaned too close with his phone, got electrocuted and phone went flying in.
Well at least now maybe the bear could take selfies? That seemed to help depressed people get a self-esteem boost.
I wonder what you should do if you come across a depressed bear in the wild? Give him a hug?
I'd like to hope they wouldn't be depressed in nature. And luckily I follow the advice of google, not my desire to get the ultimate bear hug.
It's midnight in Shanghai. My early night has failed miserably. The novelty of my own room has gone to my head as I luxuriate in a starfish across the bed.
And what's this feeling – hunger? But I already ate. Jetlag. Time zones. Of course, right about now I'd be gluttening on dinner and half a litre of wine in Europe.
I set out from the hostel in search of a midnight feast. The first thing I pass is a man peeing in the alley. How delightful. But China has a safe feel, so I keep strolling.
The neighbourhood is very local and suprisingly quiet at this time. There's only a few dubious food options still available. Everyone stares as I go past, the only Westerner and women roaming here at this hour.
I almost talk myself out of eating but I'm determined to finally get a good nights sleep. I order a noodle and vegetable soup. It comes with a free green tea in a plastic cup. Things are really looking up.
I sip my tea slowly enjoying the ambience of the concurrent coughing and soup slurping.
Tomorrow has great prospects – roaming the Bund, Nanjing Road and the French Concession but for now I'm happy in the backstreets of Shanghai.
My soup arrives. Compared to the rest of the food I've had it's not the tastiest, but I feel quite chuffed with my late night solo venturing in a new country. There's not many places in the world that'd be safe.
I head home stoked not to be in a dorm room for once. I settle in for a blissful undisturbed slumber.
The last thing I remembered is the feeling of my burnt tongue.

At this time, there are so many types of furniture to choose from that can be confusing for house owners. For example , there are wooden furniture, rattan products, plastic household items, etc . Beyond that, two prominent categories tend to be wood and rattan items. That wood can be labeled loosely into hard as well as soft wood. The bottom is normally made of soft material. These kind of materials are easier to obtain, less costly, and easier to make. But this is a choice of home merchandise for short to moderate term use.
However for some homeowners, durability is the most important thing. Hardwoods such as teak wood or oak will be best candidates. These woods are much harder, and they are also more difficult to work with. More expensive to produce. But if the budget is a problem, and you still want durability, consider buying rattan furniture.
A few homeowners believe that rattan is actually outdated and furniture with this material tends to look relatively traditional. However , the suppliers continue to move, there are many rattan furniture that looks modern. This includes sofa sets, stools, coffee tables, arm chair, and more. Because sugar walking stick is a flexible material, sugars cane can be formed effortlessly. Sectional Sofa Sleeper is a very interesting as well as unique design.

It looks like Steven Taylor has annoyed Newcastle United officials with his recent comments criticizing them for the lack of progress over a new contract.
Steven Taylor – has to forget about his contract for now
The England Under-21 captain appears to have tried to put pressure on the Newcastle Chairman and Board, at exactly the wrong time. Most everybody at the club are more concerned about how to avoid relegation right now, than anything else.
The 22-year-old's current deal has another 15 months to run so there is time to renegotiate in the summer. Of course one thing very relevant in those negotiations is whether we'll be in the Premier League next season.
It will be a massive money loss for the club if we get relegated, because teams in the Premier League get a massive £40M from the worldwide TV market that has the games live on TV in most countries of the world.
We think Steven was offered £20K/week last September and that was only a few weeks after James Milner signed a deal at £30K/week, so we think Steven had some reason to balk.
But now is not the time to bring this up, as it's all hands to the pump these days to avoid relegation.
Steven has said:
"I am 100% committed to Newcastle United and don't see myself playing for any other football club.â€
"This is where I want to play my football. I'm happy here, and working with Kevin Keegan is fantastic.â€
"I used to watch Keegan's teams play from the stands with my dad and it's a dream come true to play for him.â€
Good words from Steven.
Some advice to young Taylor – don't even think about your contract fro the rest of the season but be 100% committed to saving the Newcastle club from relegation – just like everybody else connected to the club we all love.
Comments welcome.
6 comments so far
It could prove a financial disaster for the club to invest in a long term contract for Taylor now. I don't think it's too much to imagine he wants £30k to £40k per week.
That amount would cripple us if we go down. Any contract agreed would have to have a relegation clause stating Taylor would receive a substantial pay cut when playing in the Championship.
Personally I would advise Taylor to hold fire until the end of the season and see who Keegan brings in. If we stay up (which we should!) both Newcastle and Taylor could negotiate from a strengthened position.
Steven should get his priorities right. Staying in the premiership comes first. If we manage that then he can start negotiating. It is no good him saying all he wants is to play for Newcastle and then proceed to take his hand off the pump. It would take me two years to earn what he wants for one week!!!!
I am afraid that this just shows how little these overpaid footballers think about the job in hand. Everybody else is focused on the situation, yet Taylor who has more than a year to run on his existing contract, wants to talk about a new one. Personally i would show him the door. This is twice inside 12 months Taylors demands have caused a bit upheaval and ill feeling at SJP.
He obviously does not think as he also seems to be showing on the field more and more, that he is not thinking, and mistakes have occured.
If Taylor is concerned about his contractlet us see if any club comes in for him ,or the quality of club, then and only then might he see his real worth.
Overrated player. If they receive half a descent offer they should take it. Makes too many mistakes and is not interested as most of the time he is laughing whenever he makes his mistakes. Don't like him at all, and for me Cacapa and Diatta in the center and Faye in front of them and that will proove to be a solid defence.
I agree with Obafan. Taylor throws his toys out of the pram just too often for my liking. I have also noticed the laughs when he makes a cock-up – that is immaturity. I still believe he could make a good centre back with effort. Time to shut his gob (and his dad too) and get on with the REAL job in hand

Massachusetts Question 2 is the ballot issue that would lift that state's cap on the authorization of new charter schools. The debate about Question 2 has attracted wide attention beyond Massachusetts this autumn because expanding charter schools in Massachusetts would create many of the same problems charter schools are posing in other states.
In a stunning commentary for the Boston Globe, education writer Jonathan Kozol, also a Massachusetts voter, seized next week's vote on Question 2 as an opportunity to reflect on the public role of the state's public schools: "Slice it any way you want. Argue, as we must, that every family ought to have the right to make whatever choice they like in the interests of their child, no matter what damage it may do to other people's children. As an individual decision, it's absolutely human; but setting up this kind of competition, in which parents with the greatest social capital are encouraged to abandon their most vulnerable neighbors, is rotten social policy. What this represents is a state supported shriveling of civic virtue, a narrowing of moral obligation to the smallest possible parameters. It isn't good for Massachusetts, and it's not good for democracy."
Kozol continues: "This commonwealth has been an exemplar of democratic public education ever since the incubation of the common school idea at the midpoint of the 19th century. For all its imperfections and constant need of diligent repair, it remains a vision worth preserving. The privatizing forces from outside of this state have wisely recognized the powerful symbolic victory they'd gain by turning Massachusetts against its own historic legacy."
Who are these privatizing forces? Kozol points to the New York hedge fund billionaires who have invested in Families for Excellent Schools, a dark money organization that has underwritten the rapid expansion of charter schools in New York City, and that, as of last week, had spent $13.5 million to support Massachusetts Question 2. He also points to the Walton billionaires in Arkansas: "The Walmart heirs have every right to pour their money into causes they support. But voters also have the right to get some sense of what those causes are. The Waltons have for decades been standard-bearers in attempts to undermine support for public education—which they and their allies have derided as 'the pubic school monopoly'…."
What does Kozol mean when he writes about the parents with the greatest social capital? These are the "parents who, no matter what their economic status, are most likely to command the social skills involved in navigating application processes, learning about deadlines for a lottery, seeking interviews, and handling those interviews effectively. More importantly, they also tend to have the literacy skills and English language fluency to meet the terms of those demanding 'contracts' that most charter schools require in order to be sure that parents can provide a back-up education in their home." Kozol warns about "draining-off parents who no longer have a stake in advocating for the schools from which they've chosen to depart… Who will stand up for the children at the schools they've left behind?"
Kozol shares a primary concern with Boston's mayor, Martin J. Walsh—that expansion of charters will, as it has most devastatingly in Chicago and Detroit, take urgently needed dollars from the public schools that continue to serve the students whose needs are greatest. Here is Mayor Walsh: "Question 2 does not just raise the cap. Over time, it would radically destabilize school governance in Massachusetts—not in any planned way, but by super-sizing an already broken funding system to a scale that would have a disastrous impact on students, their schools, and the cities and towns that fund them. This impact would hit Boston especially hard. Twenty-five percent of statewide charter school seats, and 36 percent of the seats added since 2011, are in Boston. Each year, the city sends charter schools a large and growing portion of state education aid to fund them. This funding system is unsustainable at current levels and would be catastrophic at the scale proposed by the ballot question… (O)ur charter school assessment is based on a raw per-student average that does not adequately account for differing student needs and the costs of meeting them. This system punishes Boston Public Schools for its commitments to inclusive classrooms and sheltered English immersion, as well as everything from vocational education to social and emotional learning. If those factors don't tilt the playing field enough, there's a kicker. Because our charter school assessment is based largely on the district's spending, the more high needs students are concentrated in district schools—and the more we have to compensate for withheld reimbursements—the higher our charter payments grow. Currently, our charter school assessment is 5 percent of the city's entire budget. Under the ballot proposal, it would grow to almost 20 percent in just over a decade. It's not just unsustainable, it's unconscionable."
In a 2012 book about the growth of charter schools, New York education professors Michael Fabricant and Michelle Fine summarize the concerns raised this month by both Boston's mayor and Jonathan Kozol: "The rationing of charter education has resulted in an increasing clamor for exit, an intensifying allure of all things private, and the migration of public resources out of neighborhood schools in the poorest areas… The bottom line is that if we are serious about education reform, it will require that the 95% of students not affected by charter schooling be paid equal attention… Ultimately, charter policy hides a profound failure of political will—more specifically, a failure of business, legislative, and media leadership to support the kinds of budgets, taxation, and targeted investment necessary to revive public education as a key element of social and economic development and racial justice in the poorest communities."
