BOSTON — Back at the NHL trade deadline, the Bruins thought they had swung a deal with Calgary for future Hall of Famer Jarome Iginla. But Iginla, who had no-trade protection, said he wanted to go to Pittsburgh because he thought the Penguins had a better chance to win the Stanley Cup.
Now, Iginla and the Penguins will have to prove it against the Bruins.
The Bruins, looking for their second Stanley Cup in the last three years, finished off the New York Rangers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 3-1 victory Saturday night. They moved on to the conference finals against Iginla, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the top-seeded Pens.
"We've all watched Pittsburgh play," center Gregory Campbell said after scoring two goals in Saturday's clincher. "We've played against them enough and we have a lot of respect for that team, the way they're coached; and they have four really good lines and guys that contribute.
"They get scoring from every line and they're not too far removed from winning the Stanley Cup (2009). And they know how to win, so I think it will be a great matchup. We're excited about it, and we're going to have to be good."
The Penguins, called the "Miami Heat of the NHL" by Boston's Milan Lucic after the game, swept the three-game season series from the Bruins, but all three games were one-goal decisions.
You want more subplots? OK, Matt Cooke was the guy who started Marc Savard on his path to retirement with an elbow to the head in 2010. And Jaromir Jagr, also a future Hall of Famer, is playing for the Bruins now and faces the Penguins, a team he won two Stanley Cups with two decades ago.
Oh, and young Bruins defenseman Matt Bartkowski is from Pittsburgh.
"I guess I'll find out who my real friends are," he said.
On Saturday, rookie sensation Torey Krug and fourth-liner Campbell beat an again-heroic Henrik Lundqvist (29 saves, many of them tough) with second-period goals. Campbell added the empty-netter, as the Bruins dominated the second and third periods.
Krug's goal was his fourth in five games since being called up from Providence because of injuries. The Elias Sports Bureau reports he is the first defenseman in the post-expansion era to score four goals in his first five playoff games.
"It's a great feeling," Krug said. "I'm glad we closed it out tonight in front of a great crowd. It was so loud in there I could barely hear myself think sometimes. It was a great experience."
In the series, 11 of the Bruins' 16 goals were scored either by defensemen (seven) or by the fourth line.
Tuukka Rask, who yielded two poor goals (falling down on one) to help keep the Rangers alive in Game 4, made 27 saves but wasn't severely tested. He did stop a breakaway by Ryan Callahan in the third period, while raising his personal record in potential closeout games to 3-8.
"Tuukka made a big save at the right time, and that's what you want to have from a goaltender," captain Zdeno Chara said. "So there was a little breakdown, defensive breakdown, but Tuukka came up big for us."
Afterward, Rask's fall-down mistake in Game 4 became something to laugh about.
Defenseman Dan Girardi scored a power-play goal for the Rangers in the first period. Krug then answered with his third power-play goal, at 3:48 of the second. Campbell cashed in a rebound after a pair of giveaways by defenseman Roman Hamrlik led to the scoring rush.
The Rangers, seeded sixth in the conference (the Bruins were No. 4) before beating No. 3 Washington in seven games, played a strong first period — probably their best period of the one-sided series.
But the Bruins, down three goals before rallying past Toronto in Game 7 of the first round, took over from there.
And when it ended, Lundqvist, on the bench after being pulled again, put his head down on his arms before going out for the handshake. He got a hug from Jagr, an ex-teammate, before the Bruins saluted their fans prior to leaving the ice.
"It's heartbreaking," said Rick Nash, who scored just one goal in 12 playoff games. "We have a good team, good season, and we just couldn't get the job done."
Added coach John Tortorella: "They deserved to win. They were the better team, and they deserved to win."
NOTES: This is just the Bruins' second trip to the conference finals since 1992, the other the 2011 Cup win. … Boston's Shawn Thornton and New York's Derek Dorsett fought 6:49 into the game. … The 1-0 New York lead after one period marked the first time in the series the teams weren't tied after one; the Rangers were 13-0-1 when leading after 20 minutes during the regular season. … With defenseman Dennis Seidenberg back (his first game of the series), rookie Dougie Hamilton was a healthy scratch. Andrew Ference and Wade Redden were still out hurt. … The Rangers were still missing defensemen Mark Staal and Anton Stralman. … New York center Derek Stepan took a puck to the face on a shot by Michael Del Zotto but returned later in the first period. … The Bruins called up goalie Niklas Svedberg from Providence after the AHL team, stripped of defensemen Krug and Bartkowski with a 3-0 lead in the second round of the playoffs, lost the next four and ended their season. His presence provides practice rest for Rask. … Brothers J.P. and Paul Norden of Stoneham, Mass., both Boston Marathon bombing victims, were the pre-game honorary fan banner captains.

The new PS4 slim console will see a release date in a future year, but don't count 2015 as the launch of something slimmer for Sony's latest console offering. While we touched on how long it might be before the PS4 Slim launched almost a year ago, we now see some new leaked pictures from just a couple of days ago.
It would be stupid to think that Sony, or Microsoft, wouldn't be playing around with drawing at least for a new slim profile. There will be many designs and some of these would leak, or in some cases we could see leaks released on purpose to gauge gamer interest.
You can see the latest round of so-called "leaked images" for what could be the PS4 Slim above. There's more revealed within the video below as well, which are being discussed on the well known Machinima YouTube channel. This video has already received over 370,000 views and more than 12,000 likes within just two days.
Would you purchase a new PS4 slim console in 2016? There's every chance of seeing a slimmer profile next year, although in our opinion the Xbox One needs to cut some fat before the PlayStation 4. We own both consoles in the Product Reviews office and having them side-by-side really reveals a major difference, so expect Microsoft to deliver something thinner before Sony.

England's Not So Pleasant Aspect - Jewish Chronicle by Anthony Julius, 4 Feb 2010
Comment Antisemitism
There are many kinds of antisemitism, and among them there are four that have an English provenance, either wholly or in substantial part.
The radical antisemitism of medieval England — one of defamation, expropriation, murder and expulsion — completed itself in 1290, when there were no Jews left to torment. English literary antisemitism has been continuously present from the anonymous medieval ballad Sir Hugh, or the Jew's Daughter through to present times. A modern, everyday antisemitism of insult and partial exclusion has also been pervasive, if contained, in this country. This is the common antisemitism experienced by Jews from their "readmission" to England in the mid-17th century through to the late-20th century.
Finally, a new configuration of anti-Zionisms, which treats Zionism and the state of Israel as illegitimate Jewish enterprises, emerged here in the late 1960s and 1970s. This perspective, heavily indebted to antisemitic tropes, constitutes the greatest current threat to Anglo-Jewish security and morale.
This fourth kind of antisemitism is now more European than English but has a particularly English history, stemming from the intimacy of association between England and the Zionist project from the mid-19th century through to the mid-1950s. It denies to Jews the rights that it upholds for other, comparable peoples. It adheres to the principle of national self-determination, except in the Jews' case. It affirms international law, except in Israel's case. It does not understand that supporting the cause of Palestinian nationhood is one thing, while denying the right of Jews to live in their own state is quite another. It is outraged by the Jewish nature of the state of Israel, but is untroubled by, say, the Islamic nature of Iran or of Saudi Arabia. It regards as racist the social inequalities between Jew and Arab in Israel, while being indifferent to the legal inequalities between Muslim and non-Muslim in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other Muslim states.
It regards Zionism as uniquely pernicious, rather than as merely another nationalism, just as earlier generations of antisemites regarded Jewish capitalists as uniquely pernicious, rather than as heterogeneous members of a much larger capitalist class.
It writes out of the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict the massacres of Jews in Hebron (August 1929), Jerusalem (February 1948), and Kfar Etzion (May 1948), while treating the massacre of Arabs at Deir Yasin (April 1948) as proof of fundamental Zionist iniquity. It is reluctant to take a position on the Chinese occupation of Tibet, while holding the Israeli occupation of the West Bank an indefensible evil of global consequence. It is hostile to the United States, which it believes is dominated by Jews. It plays variations on well-established antisemitic tropes and deploys some new ones of its own — principally, that Israel may suitably be compared with Nazi Germany and/or Apartheid South Africa.
It treats UN, and UN committee and council, resolutions on Israel as if passed by impartial, apolitical bodies. It denies the existence of Islamic antisemitism, save perhaps as a Western import and of no practical consequence. While it excoriates racist sentiments found among Israelis, or in the complex history of Zionism, it refuses to acknowledge the racist themes towards Jews to be found in many currents of Arab nationalism. It overstates, on every occasion, and beyond reason, any case that could be made against Israel's actions or policies, and wildly overstates the significance of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in world affairs.
Longstanding antisemites now embrace "anti-Zionism" as a cover for their Jew-hatred. This is because, in relation to Israel, the antisemite finds a protected voice. The desire to destroy Jews is reconfigured as the desire to destroy or dismantle the Jewish state. The new anti-Zionism has become a cause for some English academics and political activists; it is commonly found in the universities and in student and university teacher associations. Anti-Zionism has renewed antisemitism, and given it a future.
These, then, are England's gifts to Jew-hatred. The antisemitism of no other country has this density of history. The antisemitism of no other country is so continuously innovative. On many occasions in the history of antisemitism, England arrives first.Source URL: http://www.thejc.com/comment-and-debate/comment/26775/englands-not-so-pleasant-aspect

A postal worker busted by cursing cops in Brooklyn earlier this month wants an apology from the city's top cop.
Glen Grays was working on President St. in Crown Heights when he says his mail truck was nearly hit by an unmarked car. Grays shouted at the driver, who threw the car in reverse and screamed back at the mail carrier.
Four cops in plainclothes got out of the car, slapped him in handcuffs, frisked him and carted him off to the 71st Precinct stationhouse. Grays, 27, was charged with resisting arrest on March 17. Video of the arrest has gone viral and the Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating.
"Honestly, speaking we're all human, we all make mistakes, but lately a lot of mistakes have been made by police officers," Grays told the Daily News on Wednesday.
"I would take an apology from Mr. Bratton himself, and I would like to see the officers disciplined, but I wouldn't want them to lose their jobs."
Bratton has said he had strong concerns about the arrest. Investigators were trying to determine why the officers, part of the Conditions Unit which focuses on certain issues in a given neighborhood, were not in uniform. The officers have been bounced to patrol pending the outcome of the IAB investigation.
Patrick Lynch, head of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, cautioned against a "rush to judgment."
"Everyone, including the police commissioner, should withhold public comment until all the facts are in," Lynch said.
He also put part of the blame on Grays.
"No one ever has the right to resist arrest," Lynch continued. "Compliance is not optional."
Breaking News
Grays, whose fiancée is a city cop, said the incident doesn't change how he feels about police.
"My point of view on officers is a couple of bad apples doesn't spoil the whole barrel," he told The News.
Still, he says he felt "disrespected to the maximum."
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who has been a vocal critic of the cops involved in the arrest, said Wednesday he has asked police to release all video of the incident.
"If that video reaffirms concerns that the arrest was unjust, I would expect and ask for PBA President Lynch to make an apology to the Grays family and the United States Postal Service," he said, adding that he would apologize if video vindicates the cops.
The police car Grays was riding in got into a minor wreck while en route to the stationhouse. A source told The News the accident report identified the cops as Lt. Luis Machado, Lazo Lluka, Miguel Rodriguez and David Savella.

William "Chip" Eveland
Professor of Communication
3139 Derby Hall
School of Communication
154 North Oval Mall
Columbus, OH 43210-1339
- Ph.D., University of Wisconsin (1997)
- M.A., University of Delaware (1993)
- B.A., University of Delaware (1991)
William "Chip" Eveland is a professor in the School of Communication specializing in political communication, public opinion, and mass media effects.
Eveland's research centers on how and why people engage in political communication behaviors – such as talking about politics and trying to persuade others, as well as using various forms of traditional news media and online communication – and the implications of these communication behaviors for outcomes such as political knowledge, political participation, support for democratic norms, and political polarization.
His most recent research emphasizes the role of interpersonal communication networks in exposure to disagreement along partisan as well as racial lines. He has applied this in settings with adults but also in parent-child interactions (i.e., political socialization).
His current research interests could best be summed up as: Who talks about politics, with whom, for what purpose, through which channels, what do they say, and what effects does it have on the functioning of democracy?

Are you looking for moving and packing tips from the experts in Hypoluxo? You are lucky. We have it. In fact, here we will share them with you.
Moving tips
- Make a reservation for mover about 2 to 4 weeks before the moving day.
- For large appliances, make sure you check the owner's manuals to see whether there are special instructions for moving.
- Never get rid of your children's favorite items before the move. Yes, even if it makes the move easier. Sometimes kids have a difficult time dealing with the change of the move itself.
- Keep in mind that by law, a mover can't transport hazardous materials such as bottled gasses, gasoline and other flammables, explosives and ammunition.
- Pack a box of essential items which you will need immediately after the move. Also, make sure it is the last thing added to the truck.
- Clean out your closets, the basement and the attic as soon as you decide it is time to move.
- Get snacks for the move day.
- Schedule disconnect for about a week before you move. This way you will not have to pay for utilities when you aren't even there.
- Cancel cable, cleaning help, newspaper, lawn services about a week before you move.
- Defrost your fridge the day before the move day.
- Take time so say goodbye to your friends and neighbors before the move day
Packing tips
- Don't mix items from different rooms in the same box.
- To make closets easier to pack, you can use wardrobe boxes. Clothes that are in drawers can be placed in suitcases.
- Use small boxes and only small boxes for books. Remember, they get very heavy quickly.
- Don't use printed newsprint to wrap your fine china.
- Stack dishes upwards when you pack them.
- Pack essential and sentimental documents separately so they can be accessed easily. This includes family records, children's health records, passports, insurance information and photo albums.
- Always remember this: the heavier the item is, the smaller the box should be used.
- Don't pack with food or supermarket boxes. After all, you don't know what little critter is hiding or if the box is strong enough to support your belongings.
- Don't use duct tape. Use packing tape instead.
- Label all boxes on top and side.
And remember, if you want to make your move smooth and quick, you can hire Hypoluxo movers.

Earlier this week Chris Brown left a cryptic tweet on his Twitter page.
Work hard to be the best and appreciate everyone on the way to the top! Never forget who you are and who supported you to get there.

Chris Brown has also rekindled his relationship with Karrueche Tran and finds comfort in her after the incident.
Karrueche posted a photo of herself and Chris Brown kissing on New Year's eve.

Geophysics: Reading the signs of an eruption
Nature Communications
A study published in Nature Communications this week provides a method for tracking volcanic gas flux, variations in which can be used to predict volcanic eruptions, using earthquake observations. This work finds that variations in the directional characteristics of earthquake waves are not only caused by changes in stress conditions in the rock, as has previously been interpreted, but also by gas flux. The authors suggest that seismic observations could therefore be used to monitor changes in the degassing from volcanic systems, which may be precursors to volcanic eruptions.
In 2008 a new eruption began at the summit of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii that was associated with changes in the directional characteristics of earthquake waves and increased gas flux. Jessica Johnson and Michael Poland analysed time variations in these properties, identifying volcano-tectonic signals that may be signs of changes in gas flux at the volcano. As many volcanoes have seismic, but no gas, monitoring, this result may help improve our ability to monitor volcanoes for signs of an impending eruption.

Highlights Day 1published: October 15, 2021
The opening plenary on "Participatory Dynamics for change" set the tone for an eclectic day of social science. Programme Chair Sally Wyatt, from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts & Sciences, led a panel with an emphasis on the interaction between art, digital media and social sciences. She noted that participation can mean many different things from clicking like on facebook to more engagement and empowerment.
Highlights from the opening plenary included David Rokeby, an artist who has been making works of electronic, video and installation art since 1982, went through his work and some of his reflections on that work. From tech that separates what is still from what is moving — creating a division of the world into the nouns and the verbs — not a piece you look at but a piece you look through, to reflections on how computers see us from its naive perspectives of not having learnt us.

Nalini Kotamraju, a social scientist that has spent much of her professional life working in industry for corporations, spoke publicly for the first time to a social science audience, on the work she does and the role of social science within corporations. The social sciences undertaken within the research labs at Microsoft, Ebay, Google and the like, look very similar to within a university setting. Social science within a corporate setting is often hidden, mainly because it is proprietary. And even though researchers tend to publish in the traditional academic settings there is a fair amount of bias in publishing research affiliated with an corporation (often harder because it is seen as tainted research).

Cognitive components that contribute to social adaptation in children: prevention of bullying from pre-school education
Volume 8 Num. 2 - June 2008 - Pages 217-226
Antonio Contreras Felipe , Juan Antonio Garc?a Madruga
This paper addresses the study of the influence of
several cognitive elements on social adaptation in 3-5 years old children. Aggressive
behaviours constitute a crucial element in the assessment of social adaptation process.
The study considers some social and cognitive variables which are evaluated by a halfstructured
interview, sociometric analyses, a checklist of positive and negative attributes
to know the perceptions children held about their peers were employed, and a questionnaire
about aggressive behaviours completed by teachers. The results showed the importance
of considering social cognition in explaining aggressive behaviour. Specifically, children?s
knowledge about how to solve interpersonal conflicts, and their ability to reason in a
counterfactual way. According to the results, it would be necessary to design intervention
strategies focused on the improvement of these aspects of social cognition.
Key words:
social adaptation, aggressive behaviors, social cognition, counterfactual reasoning, interpersonal conflicts resolution.

The film is a joint production of White Hill Productions and A&A Advisors
Chandigarh 29th May 2018 (Punjabi Teshan ) Carry On Jatta 2 is one of the most-awaited sequels in Pollywood. It has taken six long years to make the second installment of the super hit comedy from 2012 that had revolutionized the genre. Carry On Jatta had established Gippy Grewal as a bankable star and made the funny four Binnu Dhillon, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Jaswinder Bhalla and Karamjit Anmol household names. All these actors along with Sonam Bajwa, Upasana Singh and Jyoti Sethi are coming back with rib tickling humour.
The trailer of the film has already raised the excitement and curiosity amongst the audience. Especially with Gippy Grewal recreating his character Jass from the prequel, people are eager to watch their favourite star on the silver screen. But did you notice Karamjit Anmol in the trailer? We bet you did not.
Karamjit Anmol's look in the film was crafted last minute and the whole cast and crew was surprised to see the transformation. As told by the director Smeep Kang , "Karamjit's look for the film was a big decision and it was finalized at the very last moment. It was actually me decision to enhance his character. On the very first day, when he stepped out of his vanity after the make-up and came onto the set, nobody recognized him. Gippy (Grewal), Binnu (Dhillon), Sonam Bajwa, Jaswinder Bhalla and Gurpreet Ghuggi, nobody could make out that he was indeed Karamjit Anmol in a different get up. We both had so much fun teasing everyone. I am sure people will love him in this new avatar. He is looking adorable."
Karamjit Anmol also shared his experience and told, "Smeep Kang told me that I need to experiment with my looks for Carry On Jatta 2 and I was all game for it. When I stepped on to the sets the first day, all made up and in my character, nobody could recognize me. I mean, not even Gippy, Binnu, Gippy Ji or (Jaswinder) Bhalla Saab. They thought I was some new member of the cast and treated me like that; everyone tried to be formal. But when I revealed my true identity, we had a blast. We laughed so much. Throughout the shooting, our film set was like a big party. Everybody sat around joking, pulling each other's legs and when the camera rolled, we would do the same thing there. Carry On Jatta 2 is the most fun I have had on a film."
Karamjit Anmol's look will be seen on the big screen on 1st June with the worldwide release of Carry On Jatta 2.

Evangelicals make up nearly a quarter of Brazil's population, up from 5 percent in 1970, and religious leaders reach millions of people through the hundreds of television and radio stations they have purchased in recent years."

Oftentimes, people will not feel comfortable reaching out for help with mental health issues. By learning how to identify mental health issues in the behavior of your family and friends, you can step in to offer them assistance when it becomes necessary to do so.
If you have noticed a friend or family member experiencing side effects from a mental health issue, you should first speak with them to determine whether there is a long-term problem. It is possible the signs your friend or family member is displaying are only temporary from an immediate issue.
Your friend or family member will still need help, but most likely not the kind of help provided by a mental health specialist.
There are numerous ways to find mental health help for a friend or family member. Once you have identified patterns of his or her mental health problems, you can determine the best course of action.
Once the problem is identified, you should speak with a mental health professional to develop a strategy. If you need assistance speaking to your friend or family member, you can also ask for assistance from a mental health professional.
The first step toward finding mental health help for a friend or family member is to learn how to identify common symptoms of mental health issues. Every person is different and might display different symptoms or may be suffering in ways that are hard to identify.
If you have noticed certain changes in the behavior of a loved one, you may want to speak with him or her directly to determine if he or she is having difficulty with a mental health matter. Some of the most common signs of mental health issues include:
If a loved one is suffering from one or several of these symptoms, it is important to reach out to see if there is something he or she needs to talk about or needs help dealing with.
When you are starting a conversation with a friend or family member regarding his or her mental health, it is important to voice your concerns while maintaining a calm demeanor. If you appear overly alarmed, it may cause your loved one to retreat into himself or herself before the problems are properly addressed.
You can suggest a visit to his or her primary care doctor or to a mental health specialist as a stepping stone toward diagnosing the problem and finding the right level of help to alleviate the issues.
You may also find it useful to accompany your loved one to his or her visit to the doctor or mental health professional. Your support during the process will help your loved one to stay on track with his or her treatment plan.
If you speak with your friend or family member about your concerns and he or she does not respond well to the conversation, you may want to consider the option of speaking with his or her primary care physician for assistance.
While the doctor will not be able to divulge personal information to you, you can speak with him or her about your concerns for your loved one and ask if there is a way for the doctor to intervene.
Consulting with a professional may also present you with new ideas for bringing the matter up again to your friend once he or she has recovered from the initial conversation.
If you feel as though your friend or family member is on the verge of hurting his or her self or hurting others, you will need to bypass speaking with them and contact emergency services, instead.
There are crisis hotlines you can call, or you can call 911 and explain the situation to a trained professional. Most communities will have officers specifically trained to handle crisis intervention, and you can request one of these officers when notifying the authorities about the situation.
After you have spoken with your loved one about the mental health symptoms he or she has exhibited and the potential for seeking help, you can find mental health resources to aid in the process.
The National Alliance on Mental Illnesses (NAMI) offers direct support when you contact them and can help you to find the best ways to help your loved one. Additionally, NAMI can aid you in identifying local resources for your friend or family member to contact to begin receiving help.
The professionals at NAMI can also help you locate national resources and state resources for you and your loved one to visit.
During the process of finding mental health help for a friend or family member, you can continuously lend your support by learning more about the issue he or she is going through. Once you have been able to identify the problem, you can work with your loved one to determine the best forms of treatment moving forward.
You can consult with national, state, or local resources repeatedly throughout this process until you and your loved one are confident that he or she is receiving the proper treatment and medication.
You may also find it beneficial to consult with a support group in your area as an added resource to gain insight and help following a mental health diagnosis.
The individuals you and your friend or family member can meet in a support group may be able to recommend therapists to help manage mental health symptoms on a consistent basis.

Briton dies after being dragged into river by crocodile
A British man has died in Sri Lanka after reportedly being dragged into a river by a crocodile.
According to the Sun, 24-year-old journalist Paul McClean was washing his hands in the river when he was attacked by the reptile.
The paper reports that search and rescue teams combed the area - a lagoon known as Crocodile Rock - in a desperate attempt to find him alive.
Mr McClean is believed to have been a reporter for the Financial Times, having graduated from Oxford University.
It is reported that he was staying with four friends at the East Beach Surf Resort near Elephant Rock in the south east of the island.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are assisting the family of a British man who has died in Sri Lanka."

Guelph is fortunate to have a life style community as prestigious, well planned and immaculately maintained as The Village By The Arboretum, or VBA as it is affectionately referred to locally. Right sized bungalows, street level townhomes, and a series of luxurious condominium buildings provide variety in living and lifestyle choice. Situated on 112 acres, and sitting adjacent to a further 500 acres of University owned Arboretum land, the VBA truly has the ideal retirement location and is currently home to some 850 residents. The entire property sits on leased land to the University of Guelph and a monthly maintenance fee covers all of your exterior maintenance, amenity spaces and common areas.
The housing selection is as unique as the neighbourhood itself. Resale bungalows range any where from 1,050 square feet to, in rare occasions, over 2,000 square feet in main floor living space. Construction primarily in the mid to late 1990's with finishes ranging from builder basic original to high end elaborate custom detailing. Backyard spaces are typically a deck with well manicured and mature common spaces behind.
The mid-rise condominium buildings start around 1,000 square feet for a 1 bedroom unit and are offered as large as 1,600 square feet for some 2-bedroom units. The buildings are clustered towards the north side of the Village, adjacent to medical facility, ponds and protected lands. Common areas are luxuriously finished with beautiful wainscoting, designer lighting, sophisticated decor and grand open spaces. Large balconies and patios overlooking ponds, open spaces and the kilometres of treed land in the distance are the perfect exterior compliment to these beautifully designed buildings.
The property has a variety of unique areas carefully designed to promote a healthy lifestyle. Three large ponds with level walking trails and benches to enjoy views of the natural stone waterfalls are an ideal place to enjoy an afternoon stroll. From organized programs to an indoor pool, the 43,000 square foot Village Centre has everything you could ever want. Surrounded by the beautiful Zen Garden, just walking around the building is a treat in itself. If you feel like being a little more active, tennis and shuffleboard courts, and even a putting green are at your disposal. The Village Medical Clinic provides an easy to walk to facility for appointments.
If you are searching for the perfect down-sizing property where you can leave the property upkeep to someone else and head South for the winter, or North for the summer, there is no better option in Guelph.
The Village By The Arboretum will leave no compromise to your lifestyle and add a richness to your social scene that can not be found anywhere else.

Your blue light pierces my heart,
A glow like a work of art.
I lift my face to receive your kiss.
I knew it would be a hit or miss.
My glimmer pales and grows dim.
But I refuse to run after him.
No one can know my pain
of loving someone in vain.
