Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) forthe weird, the wacky, and thestupid so you dont have to.

D-uh! Some people shouldntbe criminals. The robber of a

RadioShack store in Floridawore a ski mask, but employeesstill recognized him. Heordered an employee to get onthe floor; when she tried to, he

pepper-sprayed her, so she ran.He tried to Taser her, but endedup shocking himself, instead, sohe ran. Turns out, the allegedrobber was an employee of thestore. He was arrested when,several hours later, he arrived

back at the store for his sched-uled work shift. Smart. [Tampa

Bay Times]

Priorities: So the SupremeCourt of the United States hasrejected a Pennsylvania schooldistricts appeal, siding with an

appeals-court ruling that theboobie bracelets arent plain-ly lewd or disruptive. I mean,the Supreme Court? Who does-nt like boobies?

Priorities II: In a possibly sim-ilar vein, there is a TV showcalled The Bachelor? I havenever seen it, so I ask this fromignorance, but why does theending makes the news?

Hold the presses a recent poston Facebook had all correctlyspelled words includingyoure and angel!

Apparently bossy to describewomen has been coming under

fire as inappropriate in society.Meanwhile, no one has saidanything about the wordbitch, which showed up on TVsome 50 times one week earlierthis month.

Three women are the latest vic-tims of a urinating man (was-nt that a Neil Diamond song?).Police are investigating sevencases in which people say theywere standing with their backsto a man who began urinatingon them. Each case happenedalong a street across from theUniversity of Florida campus.The Gainesville Sun reports theman exposes himself to the vic-

tims when they confront him.Then, he runs away. Wickedpissah!

Oops! TMI! A NorthernCalifornia man was egosurf-ing Google when a search ofhis name yielded an unexpectedresult: He was wanted by

police. The San FranciscoChronicle reported thatChristopher Viatafa turned him-self into police after discover-

ing he was on the departmentsmost wanted list after a Googlesearch of his name turned up hismug shot. He was being soughtfor an summer shooting duringa private party at senior centerin San Leandro. Investigatorssay he fired several shots fromhandgun into the ground aftergetting into an argument. Noone was injured, but policesought Viatafa for allegedlyshooting into an inhabiteddwelling. He was soon listed onthe police web site as captured

I have been watchingHoarders to try to get someinspiration to clean out my ManCave. In all honesty, Im anamateur - my small area palesin comparison, but, yes, it needssome help. Of course, the wayTV works, there are often spin-off shows. Maybe I could startmy own and defend my ManCave well call it Say Yes tothe Mess!

Lucky! A 62-year-old Chinesewoman who was walkingaround with a bullet lodged inher head for the last 48 yearshas had successful surgery toremove it. The woman, identi-fied as Zhao, was apparently

struck in the head by an objectwhen she was 14 that shealways assumed to be a stone.As it turns out, it was a 2.5-cen-timeter bullet. Zhao found outabout the bullet about 10 yearsago after she began experienc-ing symptoms like a chronicstuffy nose, headaches andswollen lymph nodes. A doctorat First Hospital of ChinaMedical University was able toremove the object from Zhaosnasal cavity. I am happy thatthe bullet did not kill me, I amgrateful to it for allowing me tolive and have the opportunity ofmy life with my family, Zhaosaid according to a translator.

She was able to survive with thebullet lodged in her bodybecause it luckily dodged amajor blood vessel [and] doesnot touch the vital organs,according to physician Zhao

Ning. [UPI]

Tom has been busy concentratingon his future book and asked thatwe use an older column he hadwritten, for this issue. I thought itwould be fun to go back one yearand see what Tom had written,and I think youll agree, it was a

wonderful column... enjoy!Lately weve been enjoying thebridge between winter and springby taking several adventuroushikes. There were trips up Cabot,Moosilauke, three of the southernPresidential peaks, the MoatRange, and even the simple butscenic Boulder Loop Trail. Butas I as sit here writing this Imthinking instead of a hike thatsyet to come.

A year ago, in a state without anymountains in it, an elderly dog deaf, mostly blind, and arthritic was dropped off at a kill shelterby the only family hed everknown. (They had reportedlygrown too old to take care ofthemselves, never mind the old

dog.) Imagine what that had to

feel like: to be fifteen and withhindered senses and left in astrange, cold, and unfamiliar

place far away from home.

Imagine the shock to his system,the fear, the sense of betrayal.Even worse, imagine the utterhopelessness. Understandablythe little dog was angry andflashed out with his teeth when-ever he could. Sometimes he didit, Im sure, not out of anger, butalso because he was in pain.

To add insult to injury he washungry, had been crated for solong he paced in circles and did-nt understand freedom, thoughtlittle of stepping in his own fecesand often his hips were so weakhed fall in his urine and didnthave the strength to get up. He

just lay there suffering in his ownwaste.

Who would want such a dog?

His prospects for another chancewere grim. When all was dark-est, all hope had to seem lost,someone at the shelter with a bigheart reached out to the NewJersey Schnauzer Rescue and letthem know of this old dog andhis looming demise. Death wasright around the corner. Thegood people at NJSR swooped inand saved William. But savedhim for what, you might ask.Sure, he would no longer be putto sleep, but what kind of lifewould he have and who wouldwant to adopt him?

Thats about the time we heardabout him and were asked to helpfind him a home. And we did

ours. We understood it was onlya temporary arrangement. It was

simply to give him a place for thelast month or two of his life (if hemade it that long), and afford himthe opportunity to die with digni-

ty.Before I realized how bad off hewas I hoped that wed be able toget him up a simple mountain toenjoy the breeze in his face. Butwhen I met the poor little wretchI knew that wasnt going to hap-

pen. He couldnt walk very farand he was in such pain and hadso little trust that whenever I

picked him up he tried to bite me.That very first day I wonderedwhy anyone had bothered to keephim alive. I felt the humane thingwould have been to put him outof his misery and I wonderedhow long Id have to wait to dothat.

Well, May became June and Juneturned to July and by this timeWill started to get a littlestronger. He ate well, slept plen-ty, and learned to trust my touch.Still there were flashes of rageand I had to be careful how I han-dled him so he wouldnt turn onme. But by the time Septemberrolled around Will surprised us

by making it to the autumn andhe even appeared to be gettingyounger.

When October arrived wereached my original goal, whichhad seem absurd that first day.Will made it to the top of PineMountain with the help of awheeled cart, not unlike a childsstroller. We pushed him up thedirt road, up part of the rocky androot-crossed trail, and even car-

ried it in places. It was a gruelingday and you can ask why we did

it if this little dog was so fargone, even with the advanceshed made?

The answer was an easy one forme. I believe in the magic wefind here in the WhiteMountains. I believe the moun-tains are special and that they arehere for anyoneeven a littledeaf, arthritic, and mostly blinddog with trust issues.

There were dog experts whoquestioned my sanity and feltwhat we were doing was cruel

but we did our best to ignorethem. And because of that afunny thing happened that day.When I held Will in my armswhile Atticus was by my side onthat flat summit, that once-angrylittle dog who couldnt see muchof the view reached out and didsomething hed never done tome. He licked my cheek. A sim-

ple kiss. He then lowered hishead against mine and looked outwith his cloudy eyes. And therewe stood, just as Atticus and Ihave stood thousands of times.

I wont pretend to know howmuch he could see and I dontimagine he could hear any of the

bird song or the way the windsang in the autumn leaves. Butsomething changed that day.Will, who was mending a bit,

became even younger. He grewcloser to us and more apprecia-tive. For the first time he startedfollowing us around our apart-ment and wanted to be includedmore.

Now Im sure there could be

many reasons for this but myromantic heart would like to

think that it had somethingwith the same magic AtticuI have felt in the mountainsthe first day we climbed M

Garfield in 2004. And whYou dont have to see or hfeel love or magic or the preof God, no matter what goworship. The Abenaki Inknew this was a special placdid the White Mountain Awho flocked here in the along with writers Hawthorne, Thoreau, Emerson.

If Wills story had ended thwould have been a fitting cosion to his life and whiwould have missed him have been quite happy foand for ourselves to havenessed his redemption. Buthe unexpected happenedlasted through the winter m

and now that the snow is mhes bouncing around not lisixteen year old who has sspecial needs, but like onunderstands hes been ginew lease on life.

Will can walk, but not verand his ears still dont worhis eyes can still only see sand shadows, but he now

being held, and Id like tohe loves this life weve him. He greets each day dance first thing in the moran enthusiastic, twisted, druhalf-pirouette which oftenwith him tumbling ovesprawled out on the floo

baby Bambi on ice. And gets up, dances again, falls and does it all with joy.

Finally, some good positivenews in the world!

As a hiker myself, I say itsabout time they did this. Here inthe White Mountains of NH,thousands of hikers use themiles of trails to reach the sum-mits, yet, very little trash is

found along the way. Most hik-ers know the rule of, take outwhat you bring in.

However, its a much differentstory on the worlds tallestpeak! Mount Everest, at over29,000 feet in elevation, hasalso been nicknamed theworlds highest garbagedump!

People have been leaving oxy-gen tanks, and a variety ofother garbage there for years. If

you go online and google Mt.Everest, you can see images of

all sorts, including garbage andtrash scattered all over the

place.

The sad part is, between 1924and 2013, there had been 248known deaths on the mountain.

Again, most of the bodies stillremain in the spot they died.

Most deaths being from falls,avalanche, exposure or altitude

sickness. After all, this is aplace where temps can go to 80below zero and have 200 mphwinds.

However, litterbugs, beware,because Nepal is making newrules to persuade trekkers toclean up after themselves on

Mount Everest, in the hopes ofclearing the tons of rubbishnow clogging the world's high-est peak.

Starting this spring, Nepali offi-

cials at Everest base camp willcheck that each climberdescends the mountain withapproximately 18 pounds oftrash, which they state is aboutthe weight of an empty propanetank and the amount the gov-ernment estimates an exhaustedclimber discards along the

route!Officials stated that they are notasking climbers to take out thetrash left by other people, butare simply asking that they takeout what they bring in. The goal

is intended to make sure nonew trash is left behind in the

future.

Sherpas and environmentalistsare applauding the govern-ment's new rules. Many statingthat this is a rule that shouldhave been introduced long ago.

Nepalese, who consider themountain they call Sagarmathato be sacred, sometimes attrib-ute climbing deaths to badkarma earned through disre-

specting the mountain.

I for one send kudos toofficials for starting to p

place, some guidelinenforcements to insu

future generations will to enjoy that of the genbefore.

I say it is long overdabout time.

Nobody asked, ust myion!!!!

In The Near Future

-Obituary-

Small Business passed awaytoday in the State of Vermontafter a brief sickness of over

spending. Small Business wasborn the same time as our coun-try, long before Vermont hadbecome a state.

Upon speaking with severalsurvivors, (small business own-ers), I was informed that smallbusiness had been decliningthese past few years and it cameas no surprise when he passed.

The increase of taxes on fuel,the electric company extortingmoney from every customer inthe form of the ElectricAssistance Programyouknow, charity at gun

pointalways leaves a warmand fuzzy feeling of giving!

Then a $15 minimum wage wasa devastating blow to Small

Business. I wasnt sure if he wasgoing to bounce back or not.

But mandatory paid sick daysand Obamacare were just toomuch for Small Business. Hecontinued to fight for his life,but in the end, he laid down anddied.

In the distant past perhaps abank could perform CPR andbring Small Business back tolife, but sadly they had allmoved out of the state because

of an unfriendly business cli-mate. They couldnt breathe, sothey left.

An autopsy was performed todetermine the exact cause ofdeath. There were several con-tributing factors. However, themain cause was over-taxation:

sales tax, income tax, dividendstax and unemployment tax.

Then the Feds jumped in, moreincome tax, social security,medicare, phone taxes, electrictaxes, usage tax and service

fees. Pour Small Business waschocking to death.

The pressure of supporting allthe people on welfare and the

state strongly urging more peo-ple to go on welfare and havemore children to get moremoneysmall business couldntevent support himself and withall that extra weight, it was tomuch to bear.

Small Business, you greatly missed by manpeople with great ideas motivation to work fo

selves. Not that it matteway, because we all havabout Small Business; not build it anyway.

In the meantime lets afor a new Small Busine

born, then kidnap it andmove it to another statthan Vermont.

In lieu of flowers, just smoney to the satethey

getting it eventually.

Be careful Vermont, witevidence given here, thebe murder charges!

57 percent more likely to have deep episodesof stress, depression or bad mood (for morethan 10 days)

And since hearing loss often happens veryslowly over time, the last person to notice yourhearing loss is...you!

Just like visiting grandparents saying how bigthe grandkids are getting, but the parents dontreally notice any difference because theyrearound the kids all the time. Its the same waywhen you slowly lose your hearing.

On top of that, the Johns Hopkins doctors saythat because hearing loss may lead to other seriousissues, it can put more of a strain on your healthcare resources. And with all the craziness goingon with health care these days, it can be a realblessing any time you can cut through the mustardto stay one step ahead of illness (and two stepsahead of long hospital stays!) Plus

It can be something like wax buildup or aninfection. And since its always better to be safethan sorry, we want to offer our help.

As part of our community outreach program, weat Sound Advice Hearing recently sent out strictinstructions to the licensed professionals and staffat all of our local area clinics. We will be offeringFULL hearing health examinations completelyfree of charge for anyone who requests one duringthe month of March.

Experience shows that its worth gettincomprehensive hearing exam every year oreven if youre pretty sure nothing is wrong. is because the exam may reveal early wasigns of a more serious issue!

Many doctors and health practitioners also that in addition to staying on top of the normallike your blood pressure and cholesterol, hayour hearing checked regularly is importayour overall health.

All 35 of our clinics throughout New Enghave been preparing to conduct these free heexaminations for you and for any friends or fayou care to tell. But, theres a catch (Hey, had to be a catch, right?)

This one is pretty painless. We just need ymake a quick phone call and setup an appointfor your exam. We ask this because our clinicget pretty busy at times and if you just showtheres a good chance you might have to waan hour or two. And nobody wants that.

All you need to do next is just give us a ca603-536-4880 and ask for extension 6313.

By the way, when we say this hearing eis free, we mean absolutely FREE: Free of Free of hassles, Free of any pressure or obligand Free of slick salesman trying to sell youyou dont need!

So, give us a quick call at 603-536-4880make sure to ask for extension 6313 and onour friendly folks will take just a few minutschedule your exam for whatever time worksfor you.

P.S. Please call as soon as possible becausare limited in how many of these exams wedo during March.

P.P.S.Also, if you care to tell a friend or famember, please ask them to use the same extenumber when they call in. Thanks!

Inspiring Words for You!Dear Friends, The winter months are cold and

long, and sometimes downright brutal! Butsomehow in the contemplation of the beauty

and newness of spring, we find hope in its warmertemps, the newness of life springing up all around, webegin to see the brown earth beneath our feet onceagain, bringing a feeling of new hope. Life is so much likethat. We go through long and short but nonethelessdifficult seasons in our life's journeys. Some as thosehard winter times, downright brutal! But,as we allowourselves to dare to look ahead with vision of new andbetter days, we once again have hope. One cannot reallylive without hope. We all need to hope. We all shouldhope and envision a new and better day! The Bible says,this too shall pass. The Bible tells us, and life itselfteaches us that it's what we do with the waiting. How weperceive it,our attitude, that helps us and actually helpsdetermines the what of what's ahead! Keep your cool.Persevere with patience.Keep a good attitude.Be stilland know that I am God, Psalm 46:10. God bless you all.~Submitted by Jeannine Bartlett

Spring Brings Return Of NH Maple ExperienceTo The Rocks_____________________________________________

Wagon rides and maple tasting are just but a couple many things you can do while visiting the Rocks Est

Bethlehem this season. Please see story this page.-NCN Courtesy Photo

As spring returns to the NorthCountry this year, so does the

New Hampshire MapleExperience at The RocksEstate. Scheduled to run March29-30 and April 5, the MapleExperience offers visitors achance to learn about and par-ticipate in each step of maplesugaring, a treasured rite ofspring in the area.

The Maple Experience pro-gram at The Rocks is reallyhands-on, and thats what setsus apart from other mapletours, said Nigel Manley, man-ager of The Rocks Estate.Participants drill holes in thetrees, put taps in, and hang

buckets. They also learn toidentify different types of trees,so they can tap their own sugar

maples at home.

Maple Experience visitors willenjoy a horse-drawn wagon ridethrough the historic RocksEstate as part of the program.An interpretive guide is on

board each wagon, sharingsome of the local history andinformation about sugaring.

Maple Experience tours include

a visit to the sugar house,tucked into one of the manyrenovated historic buildings atThe Rocks. Here, visitors willwatch fourth-generation sugarmaker Brad Presby at work.Guests are invited to purchase a

New Hampshire MapleExperience commemorativemason jar to fill at the sugarhouse with warm syrup to bringhome.

Adjacent to the sugar house isthe interactive maple museumand education center, featuringmaple sugaring artifacts fromthe extensive collection of leg-endary Sugar Hill sugar makerCharlie Stewart.

Visitors will also enjoy a maplesyrup tasting paired with thetraditional fresh donut and sour

pickle. Maple cooking demon-strations by chefs from the

renowned Sugar Hill Inn andIndian Head Resort will bestaged each day of the MapleExperience at noon. Onlookerswill be invited to sample thefinished product, and eachrecipe will be printed and avail-able for visitors to take home.

For hungrier guests, The Rocksoffers crepes and French toast,cooked to order, along with

bacon, sausage and of course maple syrup. KingdomKernels Kettle Corn will also beonsite, with their delicious fresh

popcorn in a variety of flavorsincluding maple.

The Rocks and its gift shop willbe open during MapleExperience days from 10 a.m.-4

p.m. Maple tours are offered at10 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 11:30 a.m.,12:30 p.m., 1:15 p.m., and 2

p.m. Reservations are recom-mended, with walk-in visitorsallowed as space allows.

The Rocks staff will be sellingmixes from widely-famousPollys Pancake Parlor in Sugar

Hill. Maple Experience visitorswill receive coupons to Pollys,which will open March 15.Pollys will be open weekendsthrough May 12, when it beginsdaily operation through the fall.

Dear EarthTalk: What aredirty fuels and why are theyso called? -- Bill Green,

Seattle, WAThe term dirty fuels refers tofuels derived from tar sands, oilshale or liquid coal. Just liketheir more conventional fossilfuel counterparts such as petro-leum and coal, they can beturned into gasoline, diesel andother energy sources that cangenerate extreme amounts of

particulate pollution, carbonemissions and ecosystemdestruction during their lifecy-cles from production to con-sumption.

Because tar sands [have] moresulfur, nitrogen, and metals in[them] than conventional oil,upgrading and refining [them]causes a lot more air and water

pollution and greenhouse gasemissions, reports the NaturalResources Defense Council(NRDC), a leading environ-mental non-profit. On a lifecy-cle basisthat is, extraction allthe way through combustiontar sands cause about 20 percentmore global warming pollutionthan conventional oil, adds

NRDC. Oil shale and liquidcoal are even worse, causingnearly 50 percent more globalwarming pollution and over

double the lifecycle emissionsof conventional oil

In North America, the majorityof such fuels come fromCanadas vast boreal forest, towhere tens of millions of birdsflock each spring to nest. Tarsands oil development creates

open pit mines, habitat frag-mentation, toxic waste holdingponds, air and water pollution,upgraders and refineries, and

pipelines spreading far beyondthe Boreal forest, reports

NRDC. This development isdestroying habitat for water-fowl and songbirds that comefrom all over the Americas tonest in the Boreal.

Beyond impacts at the extrac-tion sites, dirty fuels cause pol-

lution problems all doline. For this reason, emental leaders are oppthe proposed Keysto

pipeline which, if approbuilt, would transport tafuels through the MidU.S. to refineries in theMexico.

Refinery communitiPort Arthur, Texas...are unable to comply with

pollution regulations, sofuel is the last thing thin their refineries,

NRDC.

And while dirty fuereduce our reliance on oil, they wont help red

prices as they are so exto produce that gas would have to be highthey already are in orthem to be profitable.also can't help with stagas prices in the case oruption to oil shi

because each new tarproject requires hugestructure and capital

ments, so it takes years tar sands projects to colineits not as though loads of spare tar sandswaiting to be put thro

pipelines, says NElizabeth Shope.

The fact is, we donthese fuels, she adds. reduce oil consumptincreasing fuel efficiendards, and greater use ocars, renewable enerenvironmentally sust

North America standenergy crossroads [annow face a choice: tcourse for a more susenergy future of clean,able fuels, or to develodirtier sources of transpfuel derived from fossil at an even greater costhealth and environment

Continued from page B1

His body may be broken but hisheart has grown strong at the bro-ken places. The little guy wouldfit in with a Frank Capra movieas well as George Bailey in Itsa Wonderful Life. Hes everyhappy ending we could hope tosee. Except for one thing. Theredoesnt appear to be an ending insight.

Instead Will is busy writing thenext chapter of his life.

Last September, Atticus and Iwere invited to hike with WillemLange and the Windows to theWild film crew. We took themfor a five mile hike up Hedgehogand told them a bit about Willand his redemption, which backthen was nothing compared towhat it is now. The show airedast week on New Hampshire

Public Television and ratingswent through the roof while on-ine hits were astronomical. The

shows producer emailed us andasked if wed like to do it again.And we are. But this time wellbe joined by one more. Well betaking Will to another mountain-top by pushing him up in his WillWagon and they will capture thistrek!

You cannot imagine how muchthis truly thrills me. Not onlydoes it prove that no matter howbleak our prospects may seem,no matter how dire and dark andhopeless, theres always a reasonto go on just as Will has. Its aperfect lesson in faith. To believen what we cant see.

It also pleases me in another way.Too often we think these greatmountains we live in belong onlyto those with great physical abil-ties: to the endurance athletes,

the fitness fanatics, and the peak-baggers. But I prefer to see

White Mountains as more uni-versal, just as the Abenaki did, asdid the White Mountain Artistsand Thoreau, Hawthorne, andEmerson did. To me they are

beyond words and comprehen-sion because of how they makeus feel.

Here in the White Mountains allcan be inspired and renewed. Itis our own Eden where eachwoodland trail, sparkling stream,and mountaintop offers us aglimpse into vast but simple mys-tery of what it means to feel the

miraculous and to feel aliveagain. And were all invited toexperience the magic of it all.Even a sixteen year old mostly

blind, completely deaf, oncehopeless dog. If you doubt me,

just tune in next autumn when theshow airs and see for yourself.

The Date is close at hand April8, 2014 that is when Microsoftwill release the last set of secu-rity updated for Windows XP.The questions I receive arewhat I can do to make sureWindows XP is secure enoughto go onto the internet after that

date. Here are some sugges-tions;

Reduce threats from XP/brows-er vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions, and Microsofts InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations. The latest versionsof IE 10 and 11 are muchmore secure than their prede-cessors, but neither runs on XP.IE 8 was the last version of anMS browser to run on XP. Soone of the first steps for harden-ing an XP system? Dont use IEas your default browser. (Youwill, however, need to keep itinstalled and updated.)

Do not run your computer asAdministrator account when onthe web. In the control panel goto users/ manage accounts andcreate a new user account.Make this account a standard orlimited user account and usethat account to browse the inter-

net or check email. A standardor limited user account will notallow any malicious programsto install onto your computerwithout permission from theadministrator account. Theonly sure way to protect yourcomputer from the outsideworld is your actions while onthe internet, no good antivirusor antimalware can do that foryou. Keep in mind you are thefirst line of defense when itcomes to securing yourWindows XP computer.

Switch to Google Chrome orMozilla Firefox as your primaryconnection to the Internet. Andif you use Firefox, add in No

Script to block maliciousscripts. Another reason to

switch: Google Apps doesntsupport IE 8, but the onlineservice will run in XP-compati-

ble Chrome and Firefox.

Keeping your antivirus soft-ware up to date is alwaysimportant, but even more sowith Windows XP. My pre-ferred AV setup is a combina-tion of Microsoft SecurityEssential and MalwarebytesAnti-Malware, which playsnicely with other full-time virusscanners. (As a rule, you dontwant to run twofull-time scan-ners at the same time.)Truth be told, Im skeptical ofreports claiming that one

antivirus product is better thananother. All AV apps must reactto rapid changes in malwaredelivery. And I often find suspi-cious files on systems that havetop-rated antivirus productsinstalled. Combining compati-ble AV scanners is the best wayto keep malicious software off asystem.

To complete your anti-malwareroutine on your XP system, reg-ularly scan XP with a bootableAV product such as theKaspersky Rescue Disk. Thatllensure your PC is free of hard-to-find rootkits.

At some point, antivirusdors will stop suppoWindows XP. When that

pens, browsing the Internno longer be safe, no mwhat browser you use. Nthe time to move to a s

browser and email clienside XP.

I hope this helps any qucall (603)747-2201 or go website www.paigecomerservices.com.

So until next time happy puting.
