I had a cousin that wore Anucci and I always loved the smell of it on him so I got it for my male friend some and he wears it well. It's a grown man smell. I think about my cousin! James RIP and know that you left a cologne behind. Only real men can wear it and well as you did.

I found this scent to be amazing, I have been wearing it for 14 years and I still get compliments to this day. Truth: I don't wear it to work anymore as the women are always asking what are you wearing and often miss their bus hanging around the transit station.

A friend from work suggested Anucci to me. I've not been more satisfied in colgne. By far the best colgne I've ever used.

I love this product, it is the fourth time I have purchased Anucci for my husband. It is one of his Favorites!

I have been using this cologne for 20 years now and never get tired of receiving complements. A wonderful scent emulates from its use.

Ryan Getzlaf said the Ducks are his "first option."
Ben Bishop struggled through a difficult outing Tuesday as he allowed five goals on 26 shots in just over two periods of work as the Lightning were handed a 7-3 defeat by the Rangers.
Henrik Lundqvist turned aside 36 of 39 shots Tuesday night as the Rangers cruised to a 7-3 victory over the Lightning.
Ken Hitchcock will be back behind the bench in St. Louis for the 2015-16 season.
The Anaheim Ducks are one win away from the 2015 Stanley Cup Final.
Steve Stamkos scored a goal and an assist during Tampa Bay's 2-0 win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final.
The Anaheim Ducks scored three goals in 37 seconds, becoming the second-fastest team to score three in the playoffs.
Antoine Vermette scored the game-winning goal in the Blackhawks' 5-4 double-overtime triumph against the Ducks on Saturday night.
Ken Hitchcock is likely to remain the coach of the Blues next season, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Former Oilers interim coach Todd Nelson has been granted permission to seek coaching jobs elsewhere, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Devan Dubnyk and the Wild will discuss a contract extension this week, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Much like New York Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault on the subject of possibly sitting Henrik Lundqvist earlier in the series, Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper shot down the notion of benching Ben Bishop.

best renew life product | (Posted on 10/7/14)
Review by amanda
I did this cleanse for 30 days over a year ago. I had a horrible memory that bothered me and i was only 25! It caused very heavy bleeding in my menstrual cycle and i had two periods that month that lasted about ten days each. Here is what i noticed and TMI warning. The blood left copper stains all around the toilet bowl that smelled very metallic. After a couple weeks I had so much energy and i had zero urge to drink caffiene anymore or eat candy (i always loved both)! I wasnt expecting this but a bonus. Now a year later, my mind still feels clearer. I have a normal working memory now. I wish i did this years before. I have done several renew life cleanses and enjoyed most but this one is the most superior! I am about to do this cleanse again and i highly recommend it!
So far so good | (Posted on 9/25/14)
Review by Puzzik
I came down with array of symptoms summer of 2013. I was ran through all the tests (RA, Sed rate, Lyme disease, Gluten intolerance, etc etc.). I had terrible sleep issues, night sweats, shivering in my legs and complete fatigue.
I soon started having bowel issues and couldn't go to the bathroom. After a serious of tests I was diagnosed with IBS at the age of 34. I started an IBS treatment at an IBS Treatment Center in Los Angeles but continued to do my own research.
I decided to get my amalgam fillings taken out but didn't detox much after that.
I started detoxing with this kid 2 days ago and so far, whatever was left of IBS is just about gone. My sleep has come back, my energy is back and I can get up in the morning and go to work.
I'm also expanding my diet back to grains, honey and some coffee.
If you have IBS as a result of Candida & leaky gut, do yourself a favor and read Ian Mitchael Solley article called "IBS Not all in the Mind", this will really open you up to what environmental toxins (heavy metals among others) will do to you.
Instructions are wrong | (Posted on 11/25/13)
Review by Lauren
I don't have anything to say about the results yet because I'm only on the 5th day, but I wanted to inform everyone who is taking this that the instructions on Bottle 1 are incorrect. I found out the hard way. I have been taking it for 4 days on an empty stomach as directed on the label, but I called the company phone number because I was getting super nauseous and they said to take it WITH FOOD! Just so everyone knows. And the night one is labeled correctly- to take it on an empty stomach.
This is amazing stuff | (Posted on 11/5/13)
Review by Sherry
I was diagnosed with neuropathy and I am not even a diabetic. My feet were killing me for the last two years with the non-stop pain, the tingling, numbness, burning, and cold. I was taking medication that barely did anything other than just take the edge off. I heard that a lot of this is caused by the accumulation of metals over the years and that it settles in the feet causing some neuropathy. I tried this product and right away felt relief way beyond what anything else even came close to. I just bought this for my dad as well who is a full-fledged diabetic and already has a leg amputated. It's about time we got back to what is good for us, and works, with no side effects. Thank you for making great "natural" products that work.
thank-you | (Posted on 4/7/13)
Review by Randy
I used this as part of a self researched protocol which included the use of new roots D.M.S.A. (oral heavy metal chelater) and renew life heavy metal cleanse, together with removing 5 molar are amalgam (mercury) filings. I suffered for years with issues that now to me were clearly attributable to heavy metal load and toxicity and mercury that had accumulated at my hypothalmus due to the amalgam filings.
Thanks for the product and we need to try and get the word out about this issue so that people can help themselves from this FDA sponsored criminal act.
Thank you | (Posted on 3/15/12)
Review by Clara
I used the Heavy Metal Cleanse for 60 days. I noticed that I no longer had food craving for impure foods, my energy level increased, I had better mental clarity and I was much happier. The bowel movements increased also. The first 30 days were when most of the changes within my mental - emotional - physical bodies were noticed. I also included the probiotics as recommended by this cleanse. I am no longer so intolerant of gluten. I still do not eat very much gluten but at least I can eat it now after this cleanse when I am having lunch with friends. I highly recommend this cleanse.
oops, put that in the wrong place | (Posted on 9/3/11)
Review by confused
i meant to place that prior comment in the Bowel Cleanse product comment area, sorry, not this metal cleanse area.
directions woefully lacking | (Posted on 9/3/11)
Review by confused
It is impossible to tell how many days they recommend one take this product because the directions are lacking. And coming to the website reveals no clues on directions either. And no one answers the phone, so I give up. I called from the health food store while buying it but this place had decided to go home early both the last two days I tried calling. I can't give it a rating worth anything because I can't tell anything about how long to use the product so am without the info I need to use it.
Relief !!! | (Posted on 12/8/10)

Cleanse all symptoms went away. I figured my body was trying to get rid of the toxins.
Sick of being sick... | (Posted on 9/2/10)
Review by andyze
About three years ago I was getting sick every other week. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and was getting worried because as more time passed I would get sick more frequently. I started reading on the internet about what could be wrong and one of the causes was said to be heavy metal poisoning. I didn't know anything about it, but went to the local herb store and asked them. They showed me the Renew Life Heavy Metal Cleanse. I thought it was going to be a waste of money because it was a herbal supplement. Not, "real medicine" or so I thought. Well, I decided to try it anyway and now three years later I haven't been sick but once or twice. Like normal people, so it obviously did something right! Thank you for the great product!
Great Products | (Posted on 5/13/10)
Review by Jean
I have worked in a health store and have studied natural products for over 20 years. Renew Life has a handle as to what is needed to help persons who are having problems with constipation, digestion, etc. I believe in the products, especially Cleanse Smart, Fiber Smart, Heavy Metal Cleanse, and IntestiNEW. Because of the formulations used, people CAN lead a happier, healthier life.
Thank you from the depth of my heart | (Posted on 5/11/10)
Review by Andrew
After 15 years of Panic/Anxiety Disorder, an internal medicine specialist determined I was a victim of a "toxic event". I redirected my research accordingly and discovered information on chronic mercury toxicity. A woman at my local health food store pointed me to Renew Life's Heavy Metal cleanse. I began the cleanse and felt an improvement in the first few days. I began to feel a calm and peace that was so profound I had to stop and take notice of it. I discovered that all of the nagging symptoms, physical and mental, that had been nagging me for 15 years were gone. Completely gone.
Subtle but good improvement | (Posted on 5/10/10)
Review by Kathy
After using the Heavy Metal Cleanse I experienced the following: improved skin and complexion; better kidney function (no longer have to get up during the night); improved mood - feel all-over better in a subtle way.
totally amazing | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by bubblgumgloss
I have been on a quest to find something to relieve my asthma symptoms for a couple of years and just by accident I discovered that the Heavy Metal Cleanse helped my breathing! Which is totally amazing because I have tried every herb and homeopathic remedy out there. I have done several CleanseSmarts and had good results but my breathing was still really wheezy and labored. I could not believe that after day 1 on the heavy metal cleanse, I wasn't puffing on my inhaler as often, and I still only take it maybe 3X per day when I was puffing on an inhaler every hour and through the night too! Thought you guys should know about that!
Thanks for your wonderful products | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by Jackie K
After years of battling chronic Lyme Disease, I had recently had a computerized health screening to determine my state of health. Everything seemed to come back clear except for a high amount of tin in my system that seemed to be there since childhood. To be honest, the heavy metal issue I did not take seriously since I was battling chronic Lyme Disease and felt like I needed to tackle one thing at a time. As my health increased while working with a holistic practitioner, she recommended Heavy Metal Cleanse. She said I would probably need two boxes. By the end of my first box, I had heard things I never heard before. I was at the library with my children and actually heard the scanner beep when it scanned the bar codes on the books!
Overwhelmed with joy! | (Posted on 2/10/10)
Review by Geraldine
I have suffered from severe osteoarthritis in my right hip for several years. Recently I consulted with a doctor and he felt that a hip replacement was inevitable.
Now last year I had extensive dental work done and thus I no longer have amalgam fillings. I acquired a few titanium implants and for this reason I waited to embark on a Heavy Metal Cleanse. Then 3 days ago I started with your fantastic formula and my hip feels more mobile and my pain has become a mere twinge. I am overwhelmed with joy. For a long time I have suspected that heavy metals might be a consderable factor in my hip dilemma.

Alice Jean Burkett, 85, Summerville, died Thursday, June 2, 2011, at Jefferson Manor, Brookville.
She was born June 27, 1925, in Brookville, a daughter of the late Harry B. and Florence (Galbraith) Hetrick.
She was married to Thomas F. Stahlman, who preceded her in death Jan. 26, 1950. She then married Albert W. "Groundy" Burkett, who preceded her in death June 23, 1997.
Mrs. Burkett worked for Sylvania in Brookville and was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Brookville.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — It's taken years of dreaming, about a year of planning and a few weeks of delays, but Michael Cherian has finally embarked on a two-month, 2,000-mile canoe journey that will take him to New Orleans.
Cherian, who is undertaking the canoe trip to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, launched his modified canoe — dubbed "Steady Eddie" — into the Allegheny River from a boat landing in Harmar.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Staff members at the George C. Brown Community Pool gathered Wednesday to plan for the pool's opening today.
Lisa Switlick, of SPLASH, said she's excited to begin a summer filled with events, parties and daily activities.
This summer, the pool will host weekly games such as watermelon races; treasure hunt diving; centipede races; and even contests to race one of the pool staff's lifeguards.
Pictured are the Punxsutawney Area High School's 2010 Fall Sports Most Valuable Players (front, from left): Kaitlyn Nestel, girls' golf; Hannah Neal, volleyball co-MVP; Tawnee Bowers, volleyball co-MVP; Lindsey Paulina, girls' tennis; Milea Schall, girls' cross country; Timi Shiock, girls' soccer; (back) Ian Miller, boys' golf; Ben Blazavich, football; Tyler Presloid, boys' soccer; Shawnna Crago, volleyball co-MVP; A.J. Meterko, boys' cross country; and Ian Weaver, honorary football captain. The Punxsutawney Booster Club sponsors the MVP awards.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Punxsutawney Borough Police officers thought they might have a drowning victim on their hands when they were called to a drunk and disorderly incident at the dike along the Mahoning Creek behind the Thomas L. Barletta Skate Park on Elk Street at 7:15 p.m. Thursday.
According to scanner transmissions, two borough officers discovered one man who appeared to be intoxicated.
After the officers subdued him, he revealed that there was second man he'd been with on the dike who might have fallen into the creek not far from where a young boy drowned recently.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Perhaps it was a reference to his days on a muddy gridiron, but Thursday, former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Jon Kolb had some unusual advice for the three graduating seniors from the Punxsutawney Christian School (PCS) Class of 2011.
Take the messy way.
Kolb was among those addressing PCS' three seniors — valedictorian Isaac J. Fugate, salutatorian Charles C. Higgs and Michael A. Neal — during the school's annual commencement, this year held at the First United Methodist Church.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Thursday, the Route 119 Improvement Committee received an update on area highway construction projects from PennDOT District 10.
Scott Snyder, PennDOT Jefferson County assistant manager, said this will be a very busy construction season throughout the county, especially in the Punxsy area.
• Punxsutawney signals – Snyder said this project is for the installation of replacement traffic signals, upgrades to pedestrian curb cuts and other related construction through downtown.

Welcome, Unregistered.

I found 1 lone peelie and used a SAL Q to cover the cost of the rest. 10 bags, along with other items, cost me a little over $2 today. Could have been better, but I won't argue (much).
The way I see it
every life is a pile of good things and bad things.
The good things don't always soften the bad things
but vice versa
the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things
and make them unimportant
Reps are back...for now. I owe loads of gratitude to everyone that got me where I am! Read the *NEW* CVS FAQ and post your questions there. Let's keep the deal threads deal-related, please.
Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too.
Where do all the $X off $Y (competitor or not) come from? Expired Publix $5 off $30 or $5 off $35 cannot be used here.
There isn't one single Publix in Huntsville that has Sav-A-Lot as a competitor. There are no Winn-Dixies here, so they aren't a competitor.
Anddd I got my Shabby Chic bedding today for 75% off Now I just need to decide on the colors. I originally wanted pink (and I picked one up), but the khaki/beige is growing on me and I could use the magenta sheets I got last week with it. Also picked up a soft blanket in a pretty green for $14.98- can't believe someone would pay $60 for it! It's the same material as some of the college blankets, but it's a full/queen, which is super nice.
What is wrong with these CSM's not scanning would be the computer not scanning the barcode...that I can see them refusing. But beeping to verify price is totally different.
If you follow only one rule, let it be this one. Be yourself. The really strong relationships are based on what people really are, not on what they pretend to be.
WM is frustrating, no doubt, but when you find a good cashier, the coupon policy is great. I'm hopeful that because of their size other chains will model their coupon policies on WM's.
I don't even know if they got the peelies here or what because all of the Dropps were gone. One store gave me a raincheck for them, the other store said they couldn't because it was an in store special.
I hope I can find some with peelies for the raincheck!
The other big problem was finding the Pillsbury scrambles/biscuit sandwhiches. They said they were out at the warehouse. I went to three Publix and only came out with some vitamins, 3 bags of pepperoni, a bunch of bananas, loaf of bread and two cartons of eggs.
Come on up to Hilliard. We are close to Kings Bay and Jacksonville. Small town of I think less than 3000. 30 to 45 minutes to Jax, 30 or so to Kings Bay. Quite a few houses for sale here cheap. This one
is a couple of houses down from me. It is livable as is but could really use some updates, and the lady smoked. Same price no pool newer house
Sorry, I don't know how to post short links, I forgot how.
We have A rated schools, very small, K-5 and 6-12. My daughter has 3.37 acres of land for sale you could build your own house.
As an aside, DH and I thought the biscuit sandwiches were I would definitely recommend, if you are heating them in the microwave, to use the instructions of 50% power. If you don't then the biscuit is really tough.
I had to do mine the lowest amount of time or it would get hard. I guess I'm disadvantaged not having a deep freeze. I bought two packs, then went back a second time and there were none. I found a guy stocking in the freezer section and he said that a coupon lady had been in there earlier and bought 24 of them, and then asked him to see if they had any more in the back. Definitely does not help if the store doesn't limit quantities! I would have bought my max of 10 in the beginning if I'd had the freezer space! Now I have tons of freezer space and no product!
Weight watchers gals...
Wanted to ask you all what you think of the new points plus program. I gave most of my old ww books away, I've basically reverted back to the old '1-2-3 success' books I've had (which was like the *first* points program ever! I might have one of those points finders from back then, but I'm wondering what some of you think about the new program.
I found out that as of last year they no longer allow non-members to buy books there, just wondering if people thought the changes were so good that I should consider buying or finding a friend to buy me some of their materials. Not that I'm a fan of having to completely relearn a new system, but if it's that much better it may be worth it.
I do know that Petsmart sent me an email with a 15% off in store q (not much, but it's something, right)...it seems to be universal usage for everyone (a lot of their q's print with your name and petperks card number on it, but this one didn't. See if this link [petsmart.com] works...if not, I'll upload my PDF.
After I got that email, I logged in to my Petperks account and clicked on coupons. There are MQ's for $2/1 Purina One Beyond cat food and $2/1 Purina One Beyond dog food. They print with your name and Petperks number and say "Valid at Petsmart stores through 12/31/11", but are MQ's with retailer remit info. Can print to PDF...
There were a few other q's in my account, including $5 off Biljac dog food and $5 off a hamster and a couple others (B?G1 Royal Canin cat food cans, some treat for free wyb a certain dog food...don't remember them all now...sorry!)

Hey yall!!
So, this is what I've been up to lately, I ran some welds with 6011, 6013, 7014, and 7018:
And then hammered them apart:
Which was actually pretty fun and very stress relieving. My weakest weld was 7014, then 6013, 6011, and 7018. It honestly wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I was really impressed with how the 7018 held up, considering I ran all these with cheap Hobart electrodes and that 7018 had been sitting out since last winter. What I don't fully understand yet, tho, is the huge difference in the performance of the 70XX electrodes, how one failed so soon and the other held up so well. I know that one is low hydgren, but is that all that made the difference? Hopefully someone can shed a little light on that...
But anyway, hope yall enjoy the video I made this after someone asked me about weld strenght with the different electrodes, and I thought back to last summer to a series of posts made by CEP (although I'm not sure he's on this forum). He's a great welder and did pretty much the same test that I did, so I got his permission to copy his test and made it in video form. If you're reading this, thanks dude

Since all rods were 1/8", why wasn't the same amperage used on all the rods? That seems like it would have been a more fair comparison test. The 7018 had more amps to burn in deeper than the other rods and that possibly could have had more impact on how well it held up compared to the other welds on lower amps. Was it the same number of rods in each weld? Again, more rods used in a given length of weld will have a bearing on how well it holds up in this kind of test. I didn't hear any mention of the number of rods used in each one.

Yes! Your video was fun to watch. I enjoy testing stuff in the shop as well.
Although there are scientific and metallurgical factors and considerations that would provide solid data, I understand you are working at the bench here. That being said, I would agree with Bistineau - amperage and penetration would be critical in your tests. All things being equal (and I understand, shop-feasible), I think two separate tests might be the way to go. First, seeing all rods at the same amperage would be an interesting test and then a second test, with allowed ideal amperage's (specific to rod) taking great care to match all weld appearance (throat, contour, toe, etc). I realize this testing could go off the deep end. Ha ha.
Lastly, as much as I too enjoy smashing stuff with a sledge hammer, perhaps something more controlled, such as a hydraulic press may offer more consistent results.

Everything weldotron said, especially the testing with the hydraulic press. After beating on all the other pieces first with the BFH, it's possible fatigue may have started to set in some, requiring more blows to accomplish destruction. The press doesn't get tired, and can give a more accurate pressure read out for comparison purposes.
You might want to team up with Lanse on welding web.com he did exactly the same test

I prob would have used the same amps. I am not a fan of 6011 or 6013 but i do know you don't run them as hot as 7018 or you will have a hole. Learned that...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

So why would you even attempt to run them at the same amps, bob??? Every different rod has different parameters, intended for different applications, you don't use a 6010/6011 where a 7018 is called for. You admit yourself, "blow holes",,, it is incomprehensible to me that somebody who knows this thinks they could run a test,,,, in your words,,,, "I prob would have used the same amps".Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....

After its incredibly successful crowdfunding campaign, we take a look at the Jolla Tablet's Sailfish software and its neat gesture-based interaction.
Pricing not available
CNET editors round up their favorite tablets, including products from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
At only 6.1mm thick, the Xperia Z4 Tablet is the slimmest tablet Sony has made, but still packs a 2K screen and octa-core chip inside its waterproof frame.
Pricing not available
Unless you already use Microsoft's products, skip these Office apps in favor of third-party options.
The Yoga Tablet 2's unique design can't overshadow its tragically stripped-down UI and irregular performance issues.
The $150 Key Ingredient Recipe Tablet has a heat-resistant case and text-to-speech tech for a decidedly tidy connected cooking experience.
Even if you don't take advantage of its gaming prowess, the Nvidia Shield Tablet is one of the most versatile -- and affordable -- high-performance 8-inch Android slates you can buy.
If you can live with the fact that its screen is too small for the full Windows 8 experience, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2's comfy build and cutting-edge stylus technology are compelling enough reasons to own it.
Commentary: Forget the privacy issues -- it was a long list of other shortcomings, social and technical, that doomed Glass. Can Google learn for the next go-round?
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro's design is great for at-home use and the built-in projector is handy for watching video or making presentations, but the UI is too stripped down.
The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact's wealth of power, its skinny, waterproof body and decent screen make it a good option to consider if you're after a portable tablet. Although its screen resolution doesn't put it over its competitors, its ability to play games from your PS4 -- although not perfect yet -- gives it a unique selling point.

Local Vehicle Registration Program
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) collects the local vehicle registration fee (often referred to as a city sticker or license) in conjunction with state vehicle registration fees for the city of Virginia Beach. When you register a vehicle or renew a registration for a vehicle garaged in Virginia Beach, you will be billed for the state and local registration fees at the same time.
Since the local vehicle registration fee for Virginia Beach is collected at the same time as the DMV vehicle registration fees, customers with a vehicle garaged in Virginia Beach have a number of service outlets available to them to renew their combined state and local vehicle registrations. These include mail, the Internet at www.dmvnow.com, DMV customer service centers, and DMV Select.

The latest from the BUAV's Chief Executive...
This week we made history! Together we have made Europe a better place for animals.
After over 20 years of campaigning against animal testing for cosmetics in Europe, the EU has finally banned cruel cosmetics in Europe. This means that no company can carry out animal tests for new cosmetics anywhere in the world for products to be sold in the EU. We anticipate that this ban will have a positive knock-on effect around the world and we hope to see companies streamlining their testing policies, bringing the world another step closer to a global ban.
I am immensely proud of what the BUAV has achieved. It has been quite a journey to reach this point! You can read more about our historic campaign here and watch our video.
Thank you for helping us to achieve this milestone for animal welfare in Europe. We could not have done it without you – our supporters. Together our determination has made a real difference to animals!
However, for us the story does not end here. Shockingly over 80% of the world still allows animal testing for cosmetics. So, with the establishment of Cruelty Free International, the only global organization dedicated to ending cosmetics testing on animals, we will now apply our determination and vision on a global stage to ensure that the rest of the world follows Europe's lead. We are delighted to have the support of The Body Shop and their new brand activist, Leona Lewis, the British singer and global superstar, to help us with our mission.
Please support Cruelty Free International as we call upon governments and regulators around the world to introduce a ban on the testing of animals for cosmetic products and ingredients. You can also sign the Cruelty Free International global pledge.
Until next time...

When ASPCA staffer Rena L. saw a veterinarian cradling a tiny animal in her arms, she wondered, "Is that a turkey? What's a turkey doing at the ASPCA Adoption Center?"
Then she realized: The tiny animal was in fact a cat—one who had suffered severe chemical burns on her back, scalp and other parts of her body. Kylie's ears were singed off, and she couldn't walk or close her red and cloudy eyes.
"My heart was completely broken," remembers Rena, ASPCA Adoption Center Department Coordinator. "Ever since that moment, I'd go visit her when I was done with my office work, for 30 minutes to an hour."
Late last year, Kylie was found hiding behind some bushes, quietly suffering, when two dogs sniffed her out while out on a walk. The dogs' pet parent took the first step toward saving Kylie's life: He brought her to ASPCA Animal Hospital. But Kylie's struggle was far from over, and our veterinary staff didn't know if she'd pull through.
"It was really touch-and-go with Kylie because she'd lost so much skin," recalls ASPCA veterinarian Dr. Patricia Wagner, who treated Kylie. "We didn't know if she'd be able to blink, or walk, ever again."
Kylie needed several surgeries, specialist care and extensive treatment for her injuries. She spent months at the ASPCA Animal Hospital, where everyone fell in love with Kylie and her sweet, patient personality. "Everyone knew who Kylie was," says Dr. Wagner. "There were so many people here pulling for her. We didn't want to fail."
Then one day it was clear to our veterinarians that Kylie's recovery had turned a corner—she was out of the woods. In fact, Kylie was ready to continue her recovery in a foster home. Rena's was an obvious choice. Rena began fostering Kylie in February, eagerly taking on the medical regime her new foster kitty required: pain medicine, fish oil and eye drops, all twice a day on a rigid schedule. To protect Kylie's burns and promote healing, Rena purchased her a T-shirt. When the shirt didn't quite fit, Rena had it tailored.
Today, Kylie is an integral part of Rena's family and fast friends with Lafaille cats Gizmo and Cleopatra, a Beagle called Maya, and Baby Jin, a four-and-a-half-pound Chihuahua who is her playmate and constant companion. Rena continues to work with Dr. Wagner on Kylie's treatment, and they're hopeful she won't need medication one day.
"Kylie will never, ever give up no matter what," Rena says. "It was her spirit that got her through this. She's really an incredible cat."
We can't think of a better example of the animals our members' support touches. If you haven't lately, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA today. You'll assist animals like Kylie—those already fortunate enough to be in our care, and those still waiting for our help.
Dear Rena, Thank you for these remarkable photos. It chills me to the bone to realize that some sadist must have done this to beautiful Kylie. I am glad your story does not dwell on that pathetic cruelty but emphasizes the goodness of the doctors at the Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, your extraordinary love and devotion, and all the kind people who pulled and continue to pull for Kylie, starting with the good man who discovered her suffering in the bushes and did not abandon her. It is a miracle that she can see. I cannot imagine what this tiny, precious animal has endured. It breaks my heart and renders me speechless. I love Kylie, am inspired by her beautiful face and spirit, her adorable little t-shirts, her friendships with your sweet animal family. I hope that she will be able to be taken off her pain meds and cease the arduous treatments very, very soon, so that she can live her life with the joy and trust and care she richly deserves. Thank you, Rena, for being Kylie's beloved guardian angel. This is a deeply moving story that changes the way we think and live our lives.
I agree completely with Emma's eloquent remarks. Thank you ASPCA for all you do. Your organization is a bright point of love and light in the world.
Yes I also agree with Sharon and Emma's comments. Thank you everyone and ASPCA for giving beautiful Kylie a chance at being loved and nurtured. My heart really hurts when I read stories such as this. I don't understand how anyone could hurt a beautiful being such as Kylie. God Bless you all!!! <3
I too agree with Emma's eloquent remarks. I have been following 'Ella's Story' on fb. She was a beautiful deer that lived in a cemetery and greeted visitors. She became very popular and famous. Someone shot her. I am hesitant to share Kylie's story for fear some deranged teen will try to do the same thing to some other innocent creature. Several deer guard over the graves where my sister is buried. I've taken their pictures and posted them on fb, but I refuse to disclose the location, in order to keep them safe. We must walk a fine line in what we share, I think.
You are so right, Ms Randy. In promoting love and welfare for animals, we unfortunately have to be careful that we don't expose them to some sick sadist. It's a sad world.
What really needs to be done is make the laws punish those that do crimes like this. It's a very sick person that can do things like this to animals. Our justice system is broken and has been for a very long time. We need better judges and lawyers that will follow through for crimes like these. Animal abuse is the first step before they do it do a human. Let your voices be heard for those that can't speak.
I totally agree. Here in Chesterfield County a beloved horse was shot and killed by an unknown creep who must be found and punished. i am also sickened by sadistic, cruel people who maim and torture--or kill-- animals. Humans can be angels or devils in their treatment of animals. Understanding why should be a major part of brain study.
So sad! When we got our cat Nala from the shelter she was got really scared when we tried to pet her.

Jimbo is a man unparalleled in greatness. He is both staunchly conservative and intent on dispelling the common misperception and obvious confusion about global warming, or the lack there of. Jimbo enjoys the finer things in life, such as taming wild horses and riding them, and involving himself in political discussions. Jimbo is perfect in almost every aspect of life, but he is comically immature physically in the groin area. However, Jimbo still enjoys wearing nothing but a cowboy hat and a smile wherever he goes.

A Jimbo is a great man. He sometimes rushes to make descions but always works hard for what he wants. He is a hardcore beaster. He enjoys a simple life of watching baseball, drinking brews and hanging out with his crew. The term Jimbo can be used for when someone rushes into something and regrets what they did.
Wow look at jimbo he really knows how to relax! Did you see him jimbo that test?

Jimbo is overall awesome kid, they are not liked by everyone yet they remain highly popular. a Jimbo can come off extremely over confident or "smug" but remember every one can be. some mistake Jimbos with faggots but they are just envious of Jimbos. If you should ever become friends with a Jimbo consider yourself very lucky. Their friendship will last you a lifetime.
Jimbo- hey how are you?

We just have obvious play style differences. But I'm just glad you can support your opinions.
The community for tera has gone down the drain over the past few months. Hopefully it'll pick back up when we get a new flow of players coming in.

The community for tera has gone down the drain over the past few months. Hopefully it'll pick back up when we get a new flow of players coming in.
I completely agree that the community will be awful at first. Every game I've played that's gone f2p has had this same problem for the first little bit. I expect tera to be no different. Though a lot of us have been trying to push a lot of other players to try and help our the new players when they arrive. I know on the tempest reach we have about 4 guilds established so far that their main goal is going to be helping the new players learn the ropes.
---------- Post added 2013-01-18 at 06:38 PM ----------
Also, if anyone is curious, mmorpg.com just did a pretty short but good interview about the new f2p system.

First thing I did when I played for my free weeks was get rid of the chat. Makes it a whole lot better.
Hi guys.
I decided to play again TERA a bit before they make it f2p. The thing is, I got the game when it was announced so right now I have a standard edition. The thing is, I cant seem to apply a trial to it, is this normal? I wouldn't like to start playing on a new account and then re-starting again on my old account when the game becomes f2p...
Also, is Warrior a viable dps class? which of the melee classes do you see as the most fun?
As many, I'm keeping an eye on it. Everything from the graphics to the combat are amazing. Having that full control of over my character is an unique feeling.
Every dps class is competitive atm, archers might need some love but would fuck over PvP.
I think most fun is berserker, you only use a few attacks but their slow and timing is everything. Makes soloing BAMS harder. Warrior is fun, I find it tedious though keeping track of the debuffs you need to apply then the combo points.
Thanks for the answer zito!
What about the Slayer? I'm trying to figure out which melee class I like the most, I did the prologue with both Lancer and Warrior, Lancer was fun but didn't enjoy it as much as Warrior, but in the starter zone almost everyone is a Warrior and I don't want to play the "flavour of the month".
When I try to apply the code for the free week event on my standard edition account it says "missing" and when I try to log into the game it says I need an active suscription to play.
Seems like it's not possible to apply the trial Guess I'll have to wait until February.
We are fairly easy to get used to, probably the easiest class to be good at in tera. But if you want fast attacks and eventually get huge crits, slayer is a pretty good choice.
So I played the prologue as a slayer.
I'm a bit dissapointed because it felt really, really slow, like a caster melee class with no cast bar.
I love huge and fast numbers, maybe the slayer just feels slow on the prologue?
The slayer gets much faster because in the end, almost all of your abilities naturally combo together. Once you get the glyph to reset overhand strike, you'll be much faster.
The way things are set up, most classes end up being late bloomers. The first 20 levels are going to be ho-hum simply by design because you don't have many skills to work with. Slayer play very fast later on though like Basileus said (through combos and +atk speed), just keep at it because the game totally changes when you get key abilities like overhand strike, heart strike, and backstab.
Thanks guys, then I think I'll try the Slayer.
Do you think is it worth paying a month (since I already own a standard edition from when the game got released) or should I wait for the game to get f2p? I heard something about the Tera Club which is like having a suscription, if i'm suscribed by the time that feature becomes availble I suppose they will transfer me to that club if I'm paying a suscription?
I would like to start playing it already but the only thing I can do right now is play on a trial account which is not my main account so it's kind of pointless to level up on it...

Just one week after experiencing measureable snow for the first time since 2011, Lenoir County and the surrounding area is projected to see its highest levels in nearly 25 years.
At 4 p.m. on Monday, National Weather Service Meteorologist Casey Dail said today's storm is calling for about 6 to 8 inches of snow in Kinston.
"The last time the city had that much snow, it was in 1989, between Dec. 24-26," Dail said. "It was estimated at 8 to 12 inches."
WCTI NewsChannel 12 Chief Meteorologist Skip Waters said the station's computer models show snowfalls of nearly historic levels.
"If our computer models are right, Kinston would see a couple inches on the ground by 5 p.m. (today), 6 inches by midnight (Wednesday) and probably end up with 9 or 10 by Wednesday afternoon," Waters said. "Kinston has had 11 inches on three occasions: March 2, 1927 and twice in 1912 — once on Jan. 13 and on Feb. 11. There was also 10.5 inches on March 3, 1980."
Kinston Public Services Director Rhonda Barwick said despite the additional snowfall projected, the organization won't waver from last week's preparations.
"Our procedures are pretty much the same," Barwick said. "We'll be working with (the N.C. Department of Transportation) as a team. Since we've had issues with snow last week, we already have plows ready to go. We'll be prepared and hope for the best."
Robbie Smith, a transportation supervisor with DOT, said workers pre-treated primary roads with salt brine Monday, working through the night and continuing the process today.
"We have five trucks to cover primary routes," Smith said. "We're trying to get two coats of salt brine on the ground before the storm hits. Once it starts, we'll have plows ready to push it off.
"At this time, we're not doing anything on secondary routes. We will toward the end of the storm, but we want to get the primary ones taken care of first."
Kinston City Manager Tony Sears said he had a staff meeting Monday in preparation for the snowstorm and will wait until today to make any decisions on closing City Hall.
"It's really difficult because at times, the meteorologist predictions can be altered," Sears said. "Sometimes, the mountain ranges can affect the rate of the snow, and we'll plan accordingly. If it speeds up, we'll react quicker. I want to refrain from making any decisions until I have everything in front of me."
Bill Johnson, director of Kinston Department of Public Safety, said there will be additional personnel on duty, especially on the fire department side.
"We'll have some workers (today) prepared to stay over on Wednesday and those working Wednesday starting their shifts early to have twice as many employees," Johnson said. "We have a zone concept, meaning we'll have twice as many reserve engines and ladders at each station as usual for emergencies, instead of having to depend on one station on the other side of town.
"On the police side, we'll have additional officers on duty and we'll make sure everything is prepared mechanically. All of the vehicles have been topped off with fuel and we made sure the equipment was functional (Monday)."
Lenoir County Sheriff Chris Hill said deputies have been making preparations as well.
"We made sure our four-wheel drive vehicles will be available to respond, made sure there was a sufficient supply of food in the jail for inmates, assessed the level of fuel for the generator and reviewed the adverse weather policy for non-essential personnel," Hill said. "If things get rough, I want to make sure the staff gets home, and I told the essential personnel they may have to work over. Response time may be a little longer, but I don't see real challenges unless there's a lot of ice."
Hill said he encourages residents to stay home to avoid accidents.
"When it starts snowing and the roads are covered, it's best to just stay inside, stay warm and be informed as to what's going on," Hill said. "Don't go out unless you have to."
Many residents made preparations to gather provisions. Monday afternoon, Piggly Wiggly Manager Patrick Delaney said the store had an abundance of customers throughout the day.
"People are being very proactive in preparation for the storm," Delaney said. "They're getting out to make sure their bases are covered before the snow falls."
Scott Yarber said he had to stock the refrigerator on a couple of occasions to meet the demand.
"The milk has been going pretty quick," Yarber said.
Kinston resident Jo Howell said she was well-stocked, but wanted to pick up a few more items just in case.
"There's nothing wrong with being even more prepared," Howell said. "Most of these items will probably be gone soon."
Dorothy Kilpatrick, also from Kinston, said she went to the store to pick up food which wouldn't spoil in case the power goes down.
"I've got bread and jelly to make sandwiches, as well as pork and beans," Kilpatrick said. "I'm getting things I won't have to cook just in case the lights go out."
Kinston resident John Leach, Jr. had some good advice for residents.
"Make sure you have milk, bread, canned goods, batteries, flashlights, candles and electric lanterns," Leach Jr. said. "Also, make sure your phone is charged and if the power goes out, use your car charger. Finally, dress appropriately and make sure your pets are taken care of."

Breakout box2:
Here are some tips to stay safe during the storm
n Wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. Gloves and a hat will help prevent losing body heat
n Be extremely careful if you have to shovel snow. It is physically strenuous work, so take frequent breaks and stay hydrated
n Seek medical attention immediately if you have symptoms of hypothermia, including confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering
n Watch for symptoms of frostbite, including numbness, flushed gray, white, blue or yellow skin discoloration, numbness, or waxy feeling skin
n Avoid frozen pipes — run water, even at a trickle, to help prevent them from freezing. Open the kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing
n Keep the thermostat at the same temperature day and night. Your heating bill may be a little higher, but you could avoid a more costly repair job if your pipes freeze and burst
n Never use a stove or oven to heat your home
n If you are using a space heater, place it on a level, hard surface and keep anything flammable at least three feet away — things such as paper, clothing, bedding, curtains or rugs. Turn off space heaters and make sure fireplace embers are out before leaving the room or going to bed
n Use generators correctly — never operate a generator inside the home, including in the basement or garage.

National team competitions
Eva Nemcova completed a dream EuroBasket Women for the Czech Republic by burying a three-pointer with just eight seconds to lead her side to a thrilling gold medal game triumph over Russia.
In a rematch of the final two years ago, Russia led by as many as 14 points in the second half but the Czechs staged a remarkable comeback to clinch a 72-70 victory.
Coach Alain Jardel may not be in charge of the French women's team at next year's World Championship in Brazil despite helping them qualify for the competition.
Les Bleues finished fifth at the EuroBasket 2005 in Turkey to confirm their place but the president of the French basketball federation, Yvan Mainini, has hinted the side could be going to South America without their charismatic coach.
France proved at the EuroBasket Women 2005 that every cloud does have a silver lining.
An unsuccessful campaign - some might say unfortunate - ended on a high note as Les Bleues comfortably dispatched Latvia 85-62 on Sunday to secure fifth position and qualify for the next year's FIBA World Championship for Women.

Wesco 3A North and South girls basketball preview
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
A Stanwood's Rachel Swartz (with ball) looks up at the hoop while Lake Stevens' Kali Long guards her in the first.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald Cascade's Haley Goff (right) dribbles high to avoid the pressure by Everett's Kiki Harper. Photo taken 120211 Sports - prep basketball - Everett at Cascade
File photo
Mountlake Terrace's Taylor Smith (22) shoots past a Cascade defender during their girls basketball game, Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011 at Cascade High School in Everett.
Most likely to succeed: Stanwood
The Spartans are returning one starter from last year's squad that made it to the 4A state regionals, and that player, senior Rachel Swartz, has yet to practice due to an injured foot.
However, Stanwood is now in the 3A conference, and isn't quite sure what to expect from its opponents, or its team. The Spartans are dipping from their talented pool of junior varsity players that got a little varsity experience last year and are hoping they can make the leap.
"They got some experience early in the season last year," Stanwood head coach Dennis Kloke said. "They weren't full-time varsity players in the rotation, but every day last year they went against the seniors."
Most likely to surprise: Everett
The Everett girls team has showed consistent improvement the past couple years. Four years ago they had back-to-back 3-17 seasons, before moving out of the Wesco North, where they had to face strong 4A programs, and into to the Wesco 3A league. Since then, the Seagulls have gone 13-7 and followed that up with a 12-8 campaign last season.
"It put us in a position where we were in the middle of the league, instead of the bottom," said Everett head coach John Low. "And even though we had one less win last year, we still showed growth."
And Low believes his team will continue to improve.
"We need to continue to build the program," he said, "and we're going in the right direction"
Most likely to score 40: Rachel Swartz, Stanwood
Swartz is the lone returning starter from last year's Spartan team, but won't be starting for Stanwood until at least a few games in. The 6-foot-3 senior post has a cracked metatarsal that's putting pressure on her Achilles. She's being evaluated today, but even if she's cleared will still need the WIAA-required 10 practices before she can rejoin her team.
Kloke is looking forward to that day.
"She gives us height and length," Kloke said. "At 6-3 she also has really long arms and is very agile. She runs the court well. Last year she was developing a perimeter 10-12 foot jump shot, which also really helps her score because she's so tall and hard to guard out there."
Most likely to get caught stealing: Kiki Harper, Everett
Harper, along with Darian and Sidney Rielly, make up the three Everett defenders who are known for harassing opposing teams' ball handlers. Low has very high praise for his senior defender.
"I would be willing to bet that Kiki might be the fastest player in the league," Low said.
Low said Harper just goes out and tries to get the ball. She led Everett in steals last season, with 56 (an average of 2.5 per game). Low believes that the Seagulls' intense defensive pressure helps lead to turnovers and, ultimately, sparks their offense.
"What we do definitely starts with our defense and leads to a lot of offense," Low said.
Most likely to succeed: Glacier Peak
The Grizzlies lost four seniors last year that head coach Brian Hill said "contributed a lot." The departure of those players, three of which are now playing college ball, has opened up a chance for younger Glacier Peak players to contribute. The Grizzlies will get help from last year's undefeated junior varsity team, as well as returning players Taylor Baird, Allie Weathersby and Sadie Mensing.
Baird, along with 6-foot-4 post Nikki Fausey, has Hill thinking that the Grizzlies might change up their style and work in more post play this season.
"We've kind of been guard-oriented for the last couple years," Hill said. "(Fausey's) going to give us a good post presence."
Most likely to surprise: Mountlake Terrace
The Hawks not only play hard, they leave an impression on opposing coaches.
"I remember telling (Mountlake Terrace head coach) Dave (Brophy) after a game, and then I told the girls in one of their huddles, 'I like you guys,'" Hill said. "They play hard. They don't quit. They don't complain."
Terrace, which is led by all-Wesco 3A honorable mentions Maddie Kristjanson and Taylor Smith, was pretty young last season. But Hill thinks their experience last year will only make them tougher to beat in 2012.
"They were lacking the experience. But they'll have that this year and they're still going to be fast and they're still going to shoot," Hill said. "… I wouldn't be surprised if they were to win some games this year and give some teams a little bit of a fit."
Most likely to score 40: Masha Shtikel, Shorewood
"I think she scored 20 on us every time we played her. She just has an eye for the hoop," said Hill. "She can shoot from the outside. She's strong, physical. She can score."
Shtikel was a second-team All-Wesco 3A selection after her junior season.
Hill said Shtikel is the kind of player that can "take over a game," and provide a spark for her team. The post is going into her senior season, which makes Hill and other opposing coaches happy.
"She might be a senior. I hope she's a senior," Hill said.
Most likely to get caught stealing: Sarah Smith, Glacier Peak
Smith was so fast and tough on defense that she earned a nickname last year as a sophomore guard coming off the bench for the Grizzlies.
"She's fast as lightning. My dad nicknamed her 'The Flying Squirrel' last year," Hill said. "She's just everywhere."
This season, Smith will be counted on to a bit more for the Grizzlies who graduated a couple starting guards. Hill thinks that with more time on the court, the Flying Squirrel can do even more damage defensively.
"Her time was a little bit limited, but she got in the game and she definitely helped pick up the defensive part for sure," Hill said. "She's just quick and tough."

GARETH DUNCAN says the Kings should become a stronger entity than the Cheetahs, no matter what happens in the upcoming Currie Cup promotion-relegation play-offs.
The Free State Cheetahs are expected to beat the EP Kings in the Currie Cup promotion-relegation battle over the next fortnight.
Despite the Kings' unbeaten run to the First Division title and the Cheetahs' current injury crisis (a loss of 13 first-choice players, including flyhalf Johan Goosen, flank Heinrich Brussow and prop Coenie Oosthuizen), the Bloemfontein union is still considered favourites as they boast more players with experience of playing at higher levels.
I think the Kings will provide a challenge against a weakened Free State outfit. But I admit that domestic promotion would be a surprise, especially when you consider the fact that the current Kings side isn't much stronger than the team that lost to the Pumas in the 2010 play-offs.
But look beyond this result and you'll notice that the Southern Kings are making progress; to the extent where they are likely to become a more competitive team than the Cheetahs as soon as next season.
While the Stormers, Sharks and Bulls will be Super Rugby title contenders in 2013, the Cheetahs and Kings will battle in the wooden spoon race.
It's something both franchises will want to avoid as the last-placed team is expected to face the Lions in the first South African Super Rugby promotion-relegation play-offs. I say expected because this format could still change if voted against at the next Saru Exco meeting; but that's another story.
Many pundits expect the Kings to struggle because of the trend set by other tournament debutants. The Western Force and Melbourne Rebels have both finished last in their first campaigns in 2006 and 2011 respectively.
However, both Australian teams struggled because they were established from scratch. The Kings have a platform to work from in the EP Kings, Border and SWD.
They have a quality mentor in director of rugby Alan Solomons. He's clearly had a positive effect on the EP Kings, who have only lost 10 out of 57 games in all domestic competitions since his arrival in June 2010. That's a winning percentage of 82.4%.
The Kings team that will play in Super Rugby will also be much stronger than the side that has featured on the domestic scene over the last two seasons. They have signed the likes of centre Andries Strauss, lock Steven Sykes, flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis and hooker Bandise Maku, and have four internationals in wing Paul Perez, prop Clint Newland, scrumhalf Nicolas Vergallo and utility back Hadleigh Parkes. More reinforcements will arrive during the build-up to the 2013 campaign.
The only complication is that the Kings will only be allowed two of those foreigners in their final squad that they declare to Saru. The other two will be allowed in the wider squads and will be able to be called up in case of injury. There's also a chance that Saru might accommodate the Kings, who are still requesting that the restrictions be lifted.
The Cheetahs haven't impressed in Super Rugby since their readmission in 2006. They have won 27 out of 84 games (a winning percentage of just 32%) during this period and their highest finish has been 10th place.
They have lost key players since this year's Super Rugby campaign in No 8 Ashley Johnson (London Wasps, England), prop WP Nel (Edinburgh, Scotland) and lock George Earle (Scarlets, Wales). The departures of flyhalf Sias Ebersohn (Western Force), lock Izak van der Westhuizen (Edinbugh), prop Marcel van der Merwe (Bulls) and Strauss at the end of the year will also cost the squad depth.
In reply, the Cheetahs have only signed on props Caylib Oosthuizen (Lions) and Rossouw de Klerk (Bulls), centre Johann Sadie (Bulls) and flyhalf Elgar Watts (Boland). Griquas will provide some depth, but the Cheetahs won't be able to afford injuries to key players.
If you look a bit deeper, you'd see the Free State and EP junior teams are also experiencing contrasting fortunes.
This season, the Free State U21s only won four out 12 league games. Their U19s only won three of their 12 fixtures.
The EP U21s and U19s topped their respective logs in the B Divisions, with the former team securing the provincial title. They will compete for promotion to the A Division.
Transformation is also evident in EP's junior teams, which bodes well for the future. The Southern Kings will also be able to tap into the top black talent in SWD and Border's junior structures. However, Super Rugby participation will be vital in retaining these young players.
While many in the South African rugby fraternity are worried about the Lions, it looks like the Cheetahs are also struggling. And at all levels too.
These are still early days, but a power change has already begun by the looks of it. The Kings are on the rise, while the Cheetahs are headed in another direction.

Very Nice Place
We could not have been happier with this rental. The location is ideal whether you want to sit around at home or go exploring. The home itself has all the comforts and amenities of a very well appointed upscale home. For anyone looking for a summer rental, this house has it ALL. We rented in the off-season so the pool was not open and it was too cold to sit out on the decks. By the way, the pictures don't begin to do the house justice. The views from one whole side of the house will take your breath away. The private courtyards and grounds are great for relaxing---we just wish we could have been here in the summer. Two thumbs up for this as a great vacation home.

For teams that have visions of reaching a New England tournament next week, these next few days are the equivalent of cramming for a test.
This is the final weekend of games before the New England Prep School Ice Hockey Association unveils its fields for the Stuart/Corkery (elite), Martin/Earl (large school) and Piatelli/Simmons (small school) tournaments. Each field will be made up of eight teams and hold quarterfinal games next Wednesday at sites to be determined.
The semifinals and finals will be held next weekend at the Icenter in Salem, N.H.
For much of the season, the New England pace has been set by Kimball Union and its 11 Division 1 college commits. But even the Wildcats were scrambling to pad their resume after getting surprised at Phillips Andover, 4-3, earlier this month.
"For us to find success down the stretch we need to continue to stay focused, work hard and have the ability to overcome any adversity thrown at us," said KUA coach Mike Levine. "If we can figure out how to put bad shifts behind us and stay positive for 54 minutes, well have a shot."
The Wildcats were squeezed out of the Stuart/Corkery tournament on the final day of the season last year and would love to get back and take their crack at the region's top teams.
"We had a tough loss against a well-coached Andover team and I told these guys, 'Shame on you if you let this negatively effect what you've accomplished thus far,'" said Levine. "Hopefully we rebound and pull together down the stretch.
Some key games to keep an eye on Saturday:
* Gunnery at Berkshire. The premier game in New England this weekend could be a Stuart/Corkery preview.
* Avon Old Farms at Loomis Chaffee. Traditional power visits perhaps the region's most improved team this winter.
* Deerfield at Westminster. Westy has hit its stride down stretch with recent wins against Berkshire and Choate.
* St. Sebastian's at Thayer. Always a good show when these ISL rivals get together.
* Kent School at Choate. Couple of Founders League heavies moving in opposite directions.
