Five educators receive top awards
These five extraordinary educators from across the country received the Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence, and found themselves finalists for the evening's top award. And their students have already benefitted. Each class received digital arts training from Scena Media to produce a video, which premiered at the gala, to honor their award-winning teachers.

Beloved children's book author, the late Walter Dean Myers, and author and illustrator son, Christopher Myers honored
The NEA Foundation also presented award-winning children's author, Walter Dean Myers, posthumously, and his son, award-winning illustrator and author, Christopher Myers, with the First National Bank of Omaha Award for Outstanding Service to Public Education, honoring their lifelong contributions to children's literature.
The father-son duo collaborated on stories for and about children of color who don't see themselves reflected in children's literature. According to a study by the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin, only 93 of the 3,200 children's books published in 2013 were about black people. In an op-ed for the New York Times in March 2014, Walter Dean Myers wrote, "What is the message when some children are not represented in those books?"
Their collaborative works include "Jazz," a winner of the Coretta Scott King award for illustration, "Harlem," a Caldecott Honor book, "Blues Journey," and "We are American: a tribute from the heart," to name a few.
This award recognizes individuals and organizations for their lifelong commitment to advancing public education and is typically presented to those who work outside the field. Awardees have included former President Bill Clinton, Title IX advocate Billie Jean King, and Sesame Workshop.
In honor of Walter Dean Myers, Christopher Myers, and their wonderful family, First Book dedicated a gift of 5,000 brand new books to children in need across the country. First Book is a social enterprise that currently serves more than 155,000 programs and classrooms serving children in need ages 0-18 years of age. First Book hopes that everyone serving children in need will join their network and continue to grow the Myers' family legacy of high quality, diverse content for all children.
Watch Christopher Myers' acceptance speech.

Hosted by actress and activist Anne-Marie Johnson
Anne-Marie Johnson, who most recently appeared in the TNT series, "Murder in the First," and is best known for her role as Althea Tibbs on the hit television series, "In the Heat of the Night," and as a cast member of the sketch comedy series, "In Living Color," hosted the event.
Johnson helped celebrate exceptional public school educators alongside more than 50 student performers— many of whom are past NEA Foundation gala stars, invited back for an encore.

Students take the stage for return performances
From Montgomery County, Maryland, the Sogo African Rhythm Ensemble of 35 drummers and dancers from Forest Knolls Elementary, who performed at last year's gala, took the stage under the direction of educator, Lou Persic.
Also returning this year was Blessed Sheriff, a young poet, who performed two original poems with last year's gala host, Tony Award-winning actress, Phylicia Rashad, of "The Cosby Show" fame. Sheriff performed her tribute to the Walter Dean Myers alongside Joseph Morag, a violinist and first chair and concertmaster of the New York Youth Symphony. A second tribute to Myers came from young writers from Lee County, Florida, who performed an interpretation of Walter Dean Myers' acclaimed book, "The Story of the Three Kingdoms."
Memorable performances also include Brooklyn-based singer and Princeton musicology doctoral student, Cory Hunter, who is lead soloist of the Boys Choir of Harlem, as well as the Counterpoints, directed by Michael Raunik, from Indianapolis, Indiana, who have been ranked the nation's top concert show choir.

Did you miss the live webcast on the Salute to Excellence in Education Gala on February 7, 2014?
Now, you can watch the entire program and catch all of the best moments-- from host and Tony Award-winning actress Phylicia Rashad to student performers from Montgomery County (MD) Public Schools and the 36 educators from across the country who were celebrated on stage.
The 2014 NEA Foundation Salute to Excellence in Education Gala, featuring host Phylicia Rashad
More than 800 national leaders in education, philanthropy, and business gathered at the National Building Museum in the nation's capital on February 7, 2014 to celebrate excellence in public education.
Phylicia Rashad, the Tony Award-winning actress best known as Claire Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," hosted the event and helped celebrate the work of exceptional public school educators alongside student performers from Montgomery County (MD) Public Schools.
In addition to the 36 educators honored with the California Casualty Awards for Teaching Excellence, the following top honors were presented.
California educator Kimberley Gilles receives the NEA Member Benefits Award for Teaching Excellence
Kimberley Gilles, an English teacher at Monte Vista School in Danville, CA and member of the California Teachers Association, received the evening's top honor: The NEA Member Benefits Award for Teaching Excellence and $25,000. This award recognizes, rewards, and promotes excellence in teaching and advocacy for the profession.
Gilles and four other educators also received the Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence. These five educators were finalists for the evening's top award.
(Left to right: Harriet Sanford, President & CEO of The NEA Foundation; Gary Phoebus, President & CEO of NEA Member Benefits; Kimberley Gilles, NEA Member Benefits Award for Teaching Excellence recipient; Mark Chichester, Chair of The NEA Foundation Board of Directors)
"He was my son who happened to be gay," his father states. His mother is grateful that "he was surrounded by friends—the sun, the wind, and the smell of sage brush" as he died, badly beaten and tied to a fence. In between these statements and others made by local residents interviewed by the playwrights, a Tibetan singing bowl mournfully chimes.
With this choral reading of The Laramie Project, students in Kimberley Gilles' class learn what happened to Matthew Shepard on the day he was murdered. Afterwards, she invites them to share their thoughts and the comments are honest and profound. One student simply asks, "Why?" Gilles shares her passion for social justice and inclusion with her students with this lesson that intentionally provokes and, she hopes, invokes in them a love of reading and writing. She tells them that the purpose of writing is to communicate their inner truths and encourages each student to find his or her unique voice.
Gilles has taught high school since 2003 and was previously a humanities and leadership teacher at the middle school level. In June of 2014, Rethinking Schools will publish her work, "Bringing LGBT Issues Out of the Curricular Closet: Teaching The Laramie Project." She was awarded a B.A. cum laude from the University of California at Los Angeles and a M.Ed. in Instruction and Curriculum, Specialization: Integration of the Arts in 2012 from Lesley University.
As an active member of the Hayward Education Association, she played an integral part in leading a strike and then afterwards helped mend the fences and bind the wounds that had been created. Gilles currently serves as a union representative at her school in the San Ramon Valley Education Association and is a regular advocate for educators at school board meetings and community events. She is a State Representative to the California Teachers Association and currently serves on the Civil Rights in Education Committee. She received the CTA Members Human Rights Award in 2012.
Five educators receive the Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence
Five extraordinary educators from across the country received the Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence. Their students have already benefitted from the award. Each class received digital arts training from Pearson Foundation to produce a video, which premiered at the gala, to honor their award-winning teachers. Watch the videos below.

Timothy Shriver accepts the Security Benefit Award for Outstanding Service to Public Education on behalf of Special Olympics
The NEA Foundation presented the 2014 award to Special Olympics. Dr. Timothy Shriver, chairman of the orgazination, accepted the award on its behalf. Watch Dr. Shriver's speech.
This award recognizes individuals and organizations for their lifelong commitment to advancing public education and is typically presented to those who work outside the field. Awardees have included former President Bill Clinton, Title IX advocate Billie Jean King, and Sesame Workshop.
Special Olympics provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
This gives them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
Students of Montgomery County (MD) Public Schools take the stage for cultural performances
The gala began with an original piece titled, "This is what my teachers said," by Blessed Sheriff, an eleventh-grade student at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, MD, and an award-winning poet. Watch her performance above.
In the evening's finale, host Phylicia Rashad joined Sheriff on stage. Watch Sheriff perform her original poem titled, "On the definition of hope," with the help of Rashad above.
Nearly 80 students from Montgomery County (MD) Public Schools took us on a virtual world tour through the performing arts— from salsa dancing and madrigal singing to African drumming.
Thank you to all who helped celebrate the best in public education. Save the date for next year's gala on February 13, 2015.
Original poems written and performed by Blessed Sheriff:
Be bold. This classroom will be a womb
And it will deliver courage
And it will deliver voices
And it will deliver your courage
And it will deliver your voices
Strive. These books are a pedestal
They will lift you beyond your potential
And you will know things worth knowing
And see things worth seeing
They will teach you how to spell words like believe,
(Remember the "i" comes before the "e" except after "c")
So that you will one day believe in a higher cause beyond yourself.
Listen, to me. This classroom will be the silence you need,
A worthy citadel for your thoughts
So let them roam free
And when you find one worth catching
Bring it back to me.
I want to see.
This is something they cannot steal.
The mind, like a thunderstorm
Stands dignified as the only God-sent instrument amidst humanity
And we
Each of us
With our own minds…
Our own eternal infinity.
Ideas don't die, people do.
Understand that courage, kindness, wisdom, and love transcend time and when we go
What we made of them will still be here.
Make something of them
And this is how:
(This is what my teachers said to me:)
One day you will rise and I may be a distant memory
But for now
Take your seat.
Class is in session.
One syllable.
Four letters:
Noun. A feeling of expectation and desire. Derived from Old English hopa or hopian meaning to wish, expect, to look forward to. A word of German origin, connected as well to the Dutch language.
A word with so many sounds, so many souls, it doesn't get by on just one syllable.
It's the words of a man, a King, with a dream. It's attached to the faces of the one's who are screaming
For freedom.
Four letters? More like six – and it's spelled like
And do you see now what I mean?
Where there is no vision the people perish-
we are a species defined by our progress-
from the moment we climbed up off our knees and onto our feet…
and we've been doing it ever since.
Off our knees and onto our feet.
Hope. A noun in action,
And whether we are shuffling, mumbling, or running at breakneck speed it makes
sure that we are moving.
Hope. Derived from the one who makes all things new -
a spirit that lives on the inside,
like a wish waiting to come true. It's true,
we are made of stardust. So the next
time you see a shooting star turn around and look inside you:
You're on fire.
Know that the only things that burn are the things that last forever.
Know that fire ignites, and we're called to leave this world in ashes more
beautiful than the icebergs before.
Hope. A word which has its origins in the smile of a newborn child, and in the spark of
a newborn mind which has the power to change a generation.
And if there's one thing important enough to remember about what hope is,
It's that H.O.P.E stands for one thing W.E: and that is WE.
We are hope.

Got HP in the steam sale, downloaded it, then when it goes through the thing that every steam game does where it installs a bunch of stuff, it gets stuck on the configuration tool... right AFTER that very configuration tools pops up. Google has no results, and nobody seems to be having the same problem on the steam forums. Help?
Install is borked
If I have to re-install it I will cry, took 10 hours to download.
@warxsnake said:
Yep, that's the config thingie that's coming up. I'm assuming that is the same config tool that it says it's installing. If I open the folder, it's called ConfigTool.
" Try verifying the game cache through steam. What is your hardware? I downloaded the game through D2D before it was on Steam, can you clarify what the configuration tool is? Is it the splash screen where you are supposed to pick resolutions and so on? "
AMD Phenom II x2 545 3 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5500
Oh and I've done the verification thing, it came back fine.
lol, so I opened up task manager and there were like 12 instances of ConfigTool.exe open. Closed them all down and it's fine now.
Ugh, now it says my CD key is invalid. Screw this game!

Michael and Thea, recent arrivals to Seattle from New York, were my guests for a last-minute Canadian getaway. Their trip was a short one but I am very glad we met: they are a lovely couple, high-spirited, genial, wonderful story-tellers; as well as all those good-guest things -- tidy, quiet, respectful, appreciative, self-reliant. I look forward to hosting them again.
Michael and Thea were an absolutely delightful couple to host. They stayed for 3 nights and were wonderful guests...friendly, talkative, interesting, and really sweet! They made the most of their brief time in Nashville, likely put on a half pound or more in eating at local favorites, and made for pleasant company in the mornings! We wish them well as Michael heads to Washington for grad school and Thea finds a new job. We hope to host them again one day, and would readily recommend them to other hosts!

Roberto Martinez confirmed that Darron Gibson is set to return to training next week for Everton, and hopes to see the midfielder in action again before season's end.
Darron Gibson is set to miss significant time away from action for the second time already this season, after injuring his knee while playing for Republic of Ireland in their midweek World Cup qualifier.
Darron Gibson started in the Capital One Cup for Everton in mid-week marking his first action since the start of the 2013-14 campaign.
Darron Gibson is back in training for Everton but according to reports will not make it back until after the international break.
Darron Gibson's knee strain is lingering and may, according to Roberto Martinez, keep him out until after the International Break.
Darron Gibson picked up a knee strain late in the pre-season and is rated at 50/50 to be fit for Everton's first match of the season.

Building Your Own AR-15
FeaturesFish & Game Exclusives April 28, 2014 Dustin 1
Dustin Ellermann
While several people believe the misnomer propagated by the liberal media that the "AR" in AR15 stands for "Assault Rifle" it actually refers to the one of the original manufactures "ArmaLite". But I like to tell folks that AR15 stands for "Awesome Rifle everyone needs at least 15". The AR15 is like a grown man's tinkertoy. You can build it from the ground up in a variety of calibers, or switch out any part or accessory to customize it to your exact specifications.

While it is easiest to purchase a complete AR15 and reconfigure it to your liking many shooters enjoy building their own from the ground up or by swapping out complete uppers and lowers. The AR15 lower is the aluminum piece that is considered to be the firearm that bears the rifle's serial number and is transferred from your local dealer by a Federal Firearms License. The lower is usually the least expensive large part and contains the trigger group, stock, and grip. A standard lower will cost around $100 plus all the other small parts. You can purchase a mil-spec stock around $60 and a complete lower parts kit containing all the small pieces, grip and trigger group for another $60. Assembling the fire control group, upper receiver pins, springs and magazine release may look intimidating since it contains around 30 small pieces, but if you have enough mechanical capability to change out brakes on a vehicle you should be able to complete the task with a hammer, punch, and a little guidance from YouTube or Brownell's online videos.
The Stock
Assembling the buffer tube on the back of the lower receiver is relatively simple. When ordering your stock you need to know if you either have the mil-spec or commercial version of the buffer tube for they vary in diameter slightly and are not cross compatible. Thread on the tube after installing the buffer retainer and springs, tighten the castle nut with a multi-function barrel wrench, and then slide in the buffer spring and buffer weight. Most telescoping stocks will just slide on at this point by pulling the latch out.
Installing the trigger guard is just as easy as drifting in one pin and screwing in another. Followed by screwing on the pistol grip. I have grown fond of MAGPUL for both these pieces for their ergonomics, value and ease of installation. This will complete your lower that can then be mated to any standard AR upper assembly.
For the purpose of my build I wanted to have a short-barreled AR15 in order to attach a suppressor to, yet I didn't want to wait 9 months to register it with the BATF as a short-barreled rifle. So when I transferred my lower receiver, Evans Brother Guns listed it as a pistol on my form 4473. So instead of attaching a shoulder stock to the lower I purchased a pistol buffer tube along with a single point 5.11 Tactical bungee sling. It might look peculiar and not be as easy to shoot, but it's in a nice compact package that I found perfect for a 10" Wilson Combat .300 Blackout barrel.
The Upper Receiver, Barrel and Gas System
Assembling your AR upper will be easier and faster than the lower as long as you have a barrel wrench and AR vise block. A blank upper receiver usually runs around $100, but your barrel will be your largest single expense starting at $150. Your final major component will be the bolt carrier group around $150. Add on your choice of handguard, gas assembly, and other small parts listed below and it's time to build.
First you complete installation of the forward assist assembly by drifting in a small keeper pin followed by the dust cover that is done with just a spring keeper. With the upper in a vise block you insert your barrel by just sliding it into the receiver on the grooves then use your barrel nut wrench and torque to at least 35 foot pounds. At this time you need to check for proper alignment for your gas tube.
The gas system is important and probably the most complex looking to a new AR builder, but in fact it is simple as long as your gas block is aligned with the port in the barrel and the tube isn't in a bind when inserted into your upper. When you purchase your gas system you need to be aware of the type of barrel you are mounting it on. There are gas blocks made for pins that require a barrel with slots for the pins to pass through and keep aligned, then there are barrels that have a detent for setscrews to sink into to stay alignment. Tactical operators wish for the pin version so there is less chance of failure, but for my build I wanted simplicity and the setscrews looked like the best option.
Gas tubes come in different lengths: pistol, carbine, mid-length or rifle. For most 16" barrels the carbine is the standard. Some upgraded ones might be mid-length, and then oddball ones like my build uses a shorter pistol length. Just be sure to buy the correct tube for your rifle's barrel and this length will also need to be known for choosing the correct handguard.
First step of gas system installation is to align your barrel nut with the hole in the upper receiver. This is done from the receiver end with either a special gas tube alignment rod by going the cheap route and use a #15 drill bit or .180 gauge. Adjust the nut so the bit can be inserted freely, then install the gas tube into the block, slide the block down the barrel, insert the tube and install the block onto the barrel.
After this you can install the handguard. If you chose mil-spec style you will need to put the delta ring, spring and handguard cap in place when you assembled the barrel nut and gas block, but installation will simply be snapping the guards into place. For my free-floated thread-on it was as simple as screwing it on and timing it so my rail slots were aligned. Finally, if you have a threaded barrel you can cap it off with a cool muzzle brake or flash suppressor, just don't forget to use a crush washer for correct timing and torque. Complete the upper assembly by sliding in the charging handle and bolt carrier group, then pin the upper to the lower receiver and function check.
The possibilities are endless with AR15s, and building your own from scratch is a great way to get exactly what you want. For this is your rifle, there are many like it, but this one is yours.

Not a bad article but if your going to build you should learn to shop around a bit. If your going to build an AR15 plan on spending about 100 for tools if you already have a vise and torque wrench, otherwise you will need to get those as well which will add to the tool cost. I bought a small portable vise that I can clamp on to a table or steel railing when I need to really torque something for 30 from a "discount tool store" along with a 1/2 inch drive click type torque wrench that I needed when replacing the wheel hub on my pickup anyway. I picked up a cheap set of punches and also a roll pin starter type punch set with a roll pin punch set which has a small nipple on the end to aid in keeping the punch centered in the roll pin, a lower vise block and a upper receiver torque tool that engages directly with the barrel rather than clamping the aluminium of the upper receiver for torquing the barrel and a armorers multi wrench for the ar15. I have spent about 120 on the tools but as I intend on doing some other builds at some point I will never need to buy tools again plus I seem to be having "friends" coming out of the woodwork for "help" with their builds.
My build uses a Surplus Arms upper and lower, Palmetto State Complete LPK build kit with BlackHawk furniture as well as milspec buffer tube, Blackhole Weaponry 16 inch bull barrel, Yankee Hill Compensator and Specter length Diamond handguard with some other mill spec parts and a nickel boron bolt carrier . Total cost without tools, sights or optics is right about 850. BTW the stripped upper's cost was ZERO with the purchase of the barrel so deals are available if you search around for them.
The reason why I built mine is pretty simple. I generally don't have more than a hundred extra laying around during the month for extra's and I was able to purchase parts here and there when they were on sale or had free shipping to help keep the cost down. I also didn't want to buy a rifle and end up buying 500 worth of parts to make it the way I wanted and then have stuff that I will never use and likely never be able to sell sitting around. Plus to buy something comparable to what I wanted to build would be somewhere in the 1500 to 2000 range so that was a no brainer at all. Eventually I will replace the trigger but it's not a bad thing to have a backup around for that anyway IMHO, now all I need is a scope and some hogs to hunt.

MIT Designs Powerful "Doc Ock" Limbs

Project aims to give manufacturing and construction industries a pair of extra hands
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
International Conference on Robotics and Automation
(ICRA) in Hong Kong saw a number of interesting presentations, but perhaps the most exciting and attention grabbing was the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
's (MIT)
Supernumerary Robotic Limbs
(SRLs) project. MIT presented not one, but three papers on upcoming robotics limbs that could potentially revolutionize the construction and manufacturing industries.
I. A New Kind of Limb
The robotic limbs project is led by
Professor H. Harry Asada
, the principle investigator of MIT's
d'Arbeloff Lab
. Rather than seeking to replace or
augment standard human arms
or legs
, the goal the SRL effort is to give a human a second set of arms.
Ph.D candidate Federico Parietti is handling much of the design duties of the mechanical system. Baldin Llorens-Bonilla, another Ph.D candidate with the lab is among the students working on the algorithms that drive the limbs.
IEEE Spectrum
eloquently summarizes the value of the project versus traditional exoskeletons,
The researchers say that the constraint of an exoskeleton is that by definition it's bound to the body of the user: no matter what the most advantageous orientation for your limbs might be, the exoskeleton is putting all of its force wherever you decide to put your arms and legs. Having limbs that are powered yet completely separate gives the system many more option for helping you out.
The prototype shown at the ICRA shows off the
substantial advances that have been made in prosthetics
in recent years. The system weighs only 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds) and can be comfortably worn via a backpack-like harness, which has straps over the shoulders and a strap around the user's waist.
MIT's Supernumary Robotic Limbs can act as an extra pair of arms or as an extra set of legs.
[Image Source: d'Arbeloff Lab]
The limbs are mounted to the central back-like machinery just over the iliac crest, the thick edge of the hipbone. This positioning prevents the system from interfering with the user's natural motions. It also allows the system to act both as
a pair of extra legs
or as
a pair of extra arms
The joint positioning is driven by flat, brushless DC motors, which feed into circular hollow-section polyurethane torsion bars that modulate the transfer of force into Series Viscoelastic Actuators (SVAs). The system is designed to deliver a high amount of torque in order to make it a practical tool for the construction and manufacturing industries.
The limbs feature five degrees of freedom and customizable "end effectors" ranging from simple caps (for pushing or propping up objects) to
more complex design such as (eventually) prosthetic hands
II. Mankind's Little Helper
The limbs are aimed to act like a human-like helper to the user. They take cues from the user's limb movements, position, and muscle exertion. To detect those cues the system use exotic algorithms -- colored Petri nets and partial least squares predictions. While they may eventually employ more exotic hybrid forms of control that
would allow the user to control the limbs mentally
, for now the limbs are autonomous.
They mirror the user's motions waiting for the opportunity to assist. For example if the user is holding a heavy object – such as a panel to mount to the ceiling or a door frame -- they helpfully swing into place, propping up the object so the user can free at least one of their hands to do mounting work.
Mr. Llorens-Bonilla has developed so-called "behavioral modes", which detect and assist in common motions. He comments in an interview with
s Spectrum magazine:
Once we combine the most significant behavioral modes we are able to control the robot such that, from the wearer's perspective, it behaves like an extension of his own body.
The result is an uncanny odd couple of human and robot that resembles the exoskeletons seen in movies like
The Edge of Tomorrow
Another key innovation on the project, which was presented at last year's ICRA conference, was the use of sensors to counteract shaky users. Writes the lab:
Although the SRL has the potential to provide the wearer with greater strength, higher accuracy, flexibility, and dexterity, its control performance is hindered by unpredictable disturbances due to involuntary motions of the wearer, which include postural sway and physiological tremor.
[Image Source: d'Arbeloff Lab]
The solution involves a sensor at the effector and multiple encoders at the joints. The system uses advanced digital filters to correct for operator shakiness.
III. Commercial Partners Salivate at the Possibilities
In the near term the limbs could play a crucial role in labor intensive manufacturing duties. It's no coincidence that much of the group's research is funded by some of America's largest high-tech manufacturers, including the Boeing Comp. (
Boeing has a keen interest in finding a way to reduce stress on its workforce. Much of assembling a commercial jumbo jet consists of fastening large, bulky parts. Workers must squat, bend over, carry heavy objects or brace up frames during the construction process. Many of the workers are aging and having careers cut short by injuries. Robotic limbs could reduce injuries, which would both cut costs for Boeing and improve the quality of life for its workers.
A worker uses the limbs to prop up an airframe during aircraft construction.
[Image Source: d'Arbeloff Lab]
These robots are even quite the gentlemen, opening the door for their human companion if it notices them carrying a heavy object.
The robotic limbs can even open a door for you. [Image Source: d'Arbeloff Lab]
The project is reaching a very mature state. While the researchers did not comment on how long before it was deployed in a commercial capacity, given the usefulness of it, it seems likely to be sooner rather than later.
And why stop at two? Eventually the system could offer four, six, or even eight limbs. Looks like the humble human is evolving into new forms with the help of modern robotics.

The state facility on quintette rd is fine and very basic. Not much to speak of in the way of facilities such as pro shop, bathrooms, or gathering areas. Just down the street is a club that until recently was called the muzzleloaders club. It has changed names (to what I don't recall), and has tournaments including Appleseed events. In the general area is a private range owned by a fellow who calls himself Capt. Ron. He offers tactical instruction among other lessons, and his website is iwillnotbeavictim.com .
Pensacola specialty pawn on Pace Blvd is in the process of selling memberships to secure the funds for an indoor range to be built on location. Ask for Warren.
My personal fav is Styx River Shooting Center in Alabama. I'm central to all of the ranges and its only a 30 min drive to any one of them for me. Styx has a gun shop, gunsmith, supplies, classes on several topics including reload. And they have a great set up for whatever your preference is, including clay.
Last (that I know of) is Jays Guns in Baker,FL. It's waaaaaaay out in the middle of nowhere, BUT (a major plus) they rent out every firearm in the house from full auto, 50cal, to pistols and exploding targets. I thoroughly enjoy taking my friends out there. They also have an indoor range in Panama City.
Hope that helps.
