The Finance Committee on Tuesday night recommended that the City Council approve a Tax Increment Financing agreement for Quest Diagnostics, a medical diagnostic company that plans to move into part of the former Hewlett-Packard property on Forest Street.
The committee voted 3-0 to approve the deal, which will give Quest a break on the property taxes it would otherwise pay on value it adds to the facility.
Quest Diagnostics officials told the committee that the Marlborough site will be a consolidation of its current full-service laboratory facility in Cambridge, an Athena Diagnostics facility in Marlborough the company has acquired and a University of Massachusetts clinical outreach laboratory the company plans to purchase.
"Our intention is to truly build a state-of-the-art laboratory," said Tim Anderson, managing director for Quest.
The project, company officials told the committee, is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete. They said they are awaiting FTC approval to sign the lease, but expect that in the next 30 days.
Anderson and Quest Diagnostics New England Controller Rich McCarthy said the company plans to occupy about 200,000 square feet – just under one-half – of the existing building, which has been left mostly vacant since 2008.
The company intends to pump $78 million into the lab construction, while property owner Atlantic Management plans to make upgrades to the exterior.
The TIF, which would stretch over the course of 15 years, would give Quest a 100 percent exemption the property taxes levied against added value for the first two years of the agreement. The exemption would then gradually draw down until hitting 50 percent for the last three years of the agreement. The agreement would go into effect in July 2014.
In return, the company would have to create about 250 new jobs during the first three years of the agreement, in addition to the base level of 950 employees the company plans to bring to Marlborough to start off.
Councilor Joseph Delano said the terms of the TIF are "aggressive" and favorable for Quest, but he said having a tenant in the building is good for the city.
Finance Committee Chairman Michael Ossing said the city will also reap benefits as the property tax exemption drops off and the city collects taxes.
"It looks generous in the beginning, but then we start seeing the benefits," Ossing said.
Anderson, in an October letter to Mayor Arthur Vigeant, said the company also plans to apply for state incentives through the Massachusetts Life Science Center.

Which shocks?

He convinced me that they have superior strength (based on a larger diameter internal rod) and better responsiveness based on the use of a bladder instead of a solid diaphram (he can certainly explain better), and a longer life between rebuilds than the Ohlins (although maybe not than Wilbers). I assume they are also made for your bike.
I ordered the three way, with all adjustments. The price is at about the same as Ohlins.
You might give him a call and see what he says about your application. He also sells Wilbers and Ohlins, so I could have gotten any of them from him.
I have a set of Yacugars for my 1200GS and I just installed them. Very well made product and with the steel bodies they are a bit more appropriate for our weight bikes and the adventure type conditions we ride in. Don't get me wrong, Ohlins are excellent shocks but IMO more appropriate on a race bike. Once you ride a shock with an air bladder vs. a piston, you won't go back. The difference is really impressive, much more plush in the dirt, washboard type situations.
With all aftermarket shocks though, one has to spend the time and experiment with the settings! Typically, my MO is to find a stretch of dirt that I can go up and down on and write down notes on how the different changes effect the ride etc. This helps one remember and get to know your bike better.

The Gold Coast's well-known marine campaigner, Keith Douglas has put his hat in the ring for Mayoral elections in 2012.
Keith Douglas, from Marine Action Group to Mayoral candidate.
He joins Cr Susie Douglas (no relation), former councillor David Power and businessman Tom Tate in the race for the top job.
Best known for his quest to save Tipplers Tavern and its iconic barefoot bar on South Stradbroke Island, Keith promised to bring 'new ideas and a change of culture' to Council.
'The mayoral race is no longer boring,' he said, rejecting the assessment that he would be a 'single issue candidate' because of his close ties to the Tipplers campaign.
'The Tipplers debacle is important in that it illustrates the way the present council has treated the people of this city, but giving the city back Tipplers is only one small aspect of the ideas and policies that I will be putting forward for the city.
Nevertheless, I will be stepping down from the leadership of the Marine Action Group so that the two issues are not confused. There is a really strong team at MAG that will continue the fight to save Tipplers.'
Although he ran for Senate for the Australian Fishing and Lifestyle Party and only narrowly missed a spot, Keith stated he is no longer a member of a political party.
He said he would finance his bid by spending a bit of money and raising a bit 'and I will also be utilising some new and interesting campaign techniques but for now I don't want to let the cat out of the bag'.
Keith said he concerned at a trend that is evident across all levels of government - a loss of democratic rights, bureaucratic arrogance and a lack of accountability and will fight hard to see that our rights are restored.
Keith can be contacted on firstname.lastname@example.com

Palestinian Authority freezes assets of former PM
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Former Prime Minister Salam Fayyad says the Palestinian Authority has frozen his bank account and accused him of money laundering.
Fayyad, a politically independent economist, served as prime minister from 2007 to 2013, when he resigned amid a falling out with President Mahmoud Abbas. Fayyad enjoyed strong Western support, and focused on repairing Palestinian finances and on development projects.
Fayyad currently runs the "Future for Palestine" development institute. Its funds have been frozen over the money laundering lawsuit.
Fayyad said the funds were for projects in Jerusalem and the West Bank. He denied any wrongdoing.
The Palestinian attorney general's office confirmed the existence of the lawsuit but declined further comment.
Critics say Abbas, in power for more than a decade, is trying to sideline potential political opponents.

ND's weather service is going wireless, giving farmers instant access
The North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network has begun updating its weather stations across the state, giving farmers instant access to weather updates from their computers or smartphones.
Wireless is up and running at 19 of the network's 72 stations. Adnan Akyuz, North Dakota's climatologist and the network's director, guessed that all of the remaining stations will be updated within the next two years.
The switch to wireless allows North Dakota farmers to get weather updates every 10 minutes, from temperature and wind speeds to dew point and soil temperature.
A Web-based network means farmers can access the information faster, Akyuz said. And unlike with the old call-in system, several people can get an update at the same time.
Between replacing the old phone lines at each station with wireless modems, updating data loggers and solar panels to power them, Akyuz guessed the project will cost about $100,000 over the next five years. He's working on a proposal for the Legislature to foot the bill, he said.
"It is going to be quite an expensive investment," Akyuz said, but one that will require less in maintenance costs in the future.
"The more information a person can get, the better off we are," Eric Aasmundstad said from inside his tractor on his small grains farm, just west of Devils Lake. "It's a good deal if they can get it done."
Aasmundstad, former president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau, said he's used the NDAWN call-in system sporadically over the years, but he typically relies on instant updates from his iPhone or iPad. Farming may be a traditional industry, but Aasmundstad guessed "a good percentage" of his fellow farmers also use smartphones or other technology in the fields.
"I'm sure the folks that run the weather network are just responding to that demand," he said. "The increase in technology is what keeps the American farmer competitive."
Stations already on wireless

|Just when it feels like every possible version of every possible holiday song has been recorded already, Pink Martini's Joy to the World finds ways to revive holiday spirits. While the band could very easily do a swanky lounge-pop album of the season's songs, this globally minded collection is traditional and unpredictable at the same time. Pink Martini begins Joy to the World with an intimate rendition of "White Christmas" that's so faithful to the original that it features the sunny California prelude that was included when it debuted in the film Holiday Inn, then they follow it with a lush orchestral rendition -- sung in Japanese. Yet quirks like these don't feel kitschy; aside from "Santa Baby," Joy to the World's lone indulgence in camp, the album sings of peace and celebration in many tongues. Whether they give "Little Drummer Boy"'s arrangement a Middle Eastern-meets-lounge twist or sing "Silent Night" in German, Arabic, and English, Pink Martini ensures this is truly a multicultural party. The group even makes fresh choices for Hanukkah and New Year's, presenting the conclusion of the Amidah prayer set to music ("Elohai, N'tzor") and "Ocho Kandelikas," a Sephardic song sung in Ladino. "Congratulations," a song for the Chinese New Year, is such a breath of fresh air compared to "Auld Lang Syne" that it's easy to forget that this song would normally be heard in late January or early February instead of the end of December. And when "Auld Lang Syne" arrives with an arrangement inspired by Brazilian Carnaval music, it sends off the album, and the year, with a huge celebration. A near-perfect blend of spirituality and festivity, Joy to the World lets listeners hear the holidays with new ears, and maybe see it with fresh eyes, too. ~ Heather Phares

But Schmidt did not just write a primer or project book with The Complete Guide to Ribbon Crafts, she included a bounty of ideas and tips from selecting your ribbon to organizing the ribbon, to putting the perfect finishing touch to a project.
There are 100 projects included in the book: ribbon flowers, ribbon embroidery, ribbon weaving, knitting with ribbon, sewing with ribbon, gluing, fusing, and taping ribbon. You'll find ribbons in your hair, jewelry, belts, shoes, hats, clothing, and home décor. There is even a chapter that covers crafting with ribbon so you can attach ribbons to paper, print on ribbon, and attach ribbon to just about everything. Schmidt writes from experience and this book is a brilliant resource for those of us who love ribbon. She even included instruction for several beautiful bows.

Lima park
The city of Lima has authorized persons to feed the cats in the park. We watched as a lady placed styrfoam trays of food and water under most of the trees so that there was plenty to go around.
Welcome to the new members of the subscriber list of our blog! Feel free to catch up on previous entries to see some great photos and read some great stories!
The following entry is by Theresa and is a bit on the "reflective" side of travel. If you just want to enjoy the photos, then do just that. But if you want to read something a little bit different, then continue at your own risk.
A brief review on what made me squirm or uncomfortable...hey, gotta give credit to the dark side of traveling so that we can enjoy the good stuff even better!!! Bring it on!!
Larvae or slugs. The Equadorians who live near the jungle love a special delicacy--slugs--a larvae that can be found in hollowed out tree trunks lying on the jungle floor. You can eat them raw or have them BBq´d. We did neither as the gringo reviews were not very appetizing....But we did see many of these squirmy delights being cooked on the barbeques in Coca. Here´s the catch! They were still alive on the skewers, squirming as they cooked! That was a big 10 out of 10 on the "ewwwww" squirmy scale!
friendly feline
some cats at the Lima park broke the barrier of feralness to enjoy the odd petting from a tourist.
People asking for money or selling whatever...as our trip took us through Peru again to catch our return flight back to Canada, we noticed that the culture in Peru (in comparison to Ecuador) is more in your face with people trying to sell you stuff or ask for money and possibly rob you, using decoys which may include children... So, after 3 straight days of bussing it down from town to town and hanging out in noisy bus terminals, one´s patience grows thin with any extra noise pollution or stimulation. That is why we picked the loudest part of town to stay at!!! LOL! So when people approached us, we were very good at shouting "no!!" and being quite rude. Afterall, what´s more important? Our passports and our way home and turning someone away OR being friendly and potentially losing our passports? I like to call this "being a seasoned traveler"...there comes a point where you just need to be nasty to save your own ass. Especially, if you are weary from the travel itself. This rated 3 out of 10 on the squirm scale.
Kids on the street selling things... the odd picture captures your heart when
our favourite gecko friend
you see kids asking you if you want your runners shoe-shined, or kids selling a candy to get some money. The one shoe-shine kid we said no to in Cuzco, had the courage to ask for money or food. We gave him a huge hunk of our newly bought cheese as we had been in Cuzco for awhile and the area we were sitting in was relatively safe. The smile he gave us as he said "thank you" in English for our benefit, was an amazing moment of inspiration and realization of his state of affairs.. We felt like we at least made his day and he ate something good for one day. But the kid who came up to us in Chiclayo, in a chaotic part of the city where robbers were known to be, was not so fortunate. We turned him away with a rude no, assuming he was part of a plot to rob us with another adult who was possibly standing by... we will never know if this child has parents, or was part of a scam, or was just authentically trying to sell something for an honest living... this moment was also a squirming moment....
Inca relics
on display at the Palace in Lima.
of a different kind... this is the dark side of traveling... when you have to embrace your own dark side to protect yourselft... This rated a 5 out of 10 on the squirm scale.
Feral dogs and cats... it never ceases to amaze me all of the semi-domesticated-feral animals in every town and city (except for the really big cities where the municipality has taken some roll in bylaws)... but the odd pet is treated like one, so that gives me hope. Altho, when you see a small cage full of puppies and inside they are piled on top of one another, you wonder if this culture is giving in to the "puppies are cute" trend, with puppy mills abound (or no control of the population, in general), and then, when they are not cute anymore, or the family realizes that they cannot afford to feed the animal, they are rejected to fend for themselves. The many dogs I have witnessed in the more secluded areas (smaller villages especially) to be pregnant, or just had babies with swollen nipples or looking like they are on the verge of starvation....there are no words...squirming... Definitely a 8 out of 10 on
black vulture
hanging out at the plaza in Lima. Who needs gargoyles, when you've got these guys!
the squirm scale.
The one image that continues to haunt me is from one occassion when we witnessed a lady pulling a dog out of the luggage compartment of a bus! The dog was in a plastic rice bag. The bag was knotted closed at the opening and the corner of the bag was cut for the dog to stick its head out. So this medium sized bagged dog (yes, I know...doggy bag...sad but true) could not move its legs whilst being in the bottom of the bus with all the suitcases, boxes and backpacks. And it would have been scared for its life as the bus driver hurled around the corners in the mountains at half the speed of sound, probably getting knocked about inside and squished by luggage. It was shaking and full of vomit and drool and mud when removed from the compartment and its tail was between its legs after released from the bag as it was extremely traumatized! I could not contain myself, shouting and in tears..."that is just shocking!" My emotional sentiments on this mistreatment of a beloved animal was met by another Canadian traveller as he agreed, "Yes, this is just shocking!".
Last dinner in Lima, Peru
before returning to Canada. We decided to spoil ourselves at a posh restaurant with the "cerviche" delicacy. Fish fermented in lime juice. It was divine.
I think the owners got the message and I made sure the owners of this dog knew my dissaproval by shaking my head whilst passing by after the initial shock. This is all one can do as a traveller. You feel helpless, not knowing the appropriate route to take in order to complain, and if you do start any trouble, there is a chance you can be in bigger trouble, so you just walk away. Although this has only happened once to us, we worry about the other pets out there that have been treated poorly... 9 out of 10 on the squirm scale.
But there is hope. The day we arrived in Lima to prepare for our return flight home, we were greated by a well cared-for cat named Dippy at the hostel we were staying at. His owner was very good to Dippy. And Dippy loved guests (and plants, too!). Then when we walked through the central park near our hostel, there was a lady feeding the cats in the park AND giving them some love. For these lovely felines, life is good and they continue to luxuriously lounge in the park, living in the trees and
yes, we washed our hands
even though we were at a nice restaurant, our travel clothes remained the same. T-shirts, field pants and hikers!
being fed by generous city people. There is even a sign posted by the city of Lima stating that the cats are fed by authorized persons only. For the cat who was in Chiclayo at the bus station, looking for food, and pregnant, and being treated like a pest as it approached people for help, life is not so easy.... still squirming over this one... 9 out of 10 on the squirm scale.
In contrast, in Quito, Ecuador (big city) the trend is to dress your dog in clothes. There were dogs dressed in fancy dresses, sweaters (as if they needed them!!!), booties, etc. People were selling dog clothes on the street with their own dog dressed in the latest style...It was a strange contrast to the poor, starving dogs in other parts of the continent.
And that is just it. We experienced the contrast on many different levels. If we did not experience the contrast in our lives, would we be inspired at the same degree or empowered to grow, reaching for what feels right? I think not. Keep on practicing turning those lemons into lemonade, everybody!
One thing you can do if you have been
and for desert....
a sampler platter. Our favourite was the passion fruit pie. yum!
moved by these stories is to be the change! Do something nice for our furry animals. Volunteer for an animal shelter, or help animals that have been deserted, resisting the temptation to just turn away from the situation. Or, give your pet a special hug or treat today to let them know that you do love and care for them. Get inspired to do more for our domestic animals. The universe does not mean for us to be motionless...for too long...
Contrastingly yours,

Today, a man who wrote rot died.
Like most great authors of the past few hundred years, Edgar Rice Burroughs knew nothing about being an author. He was an average student through college, then failed his entrance exam to West Point and spent two years as an enlisted soldier in the 7th U.S. Cavalry. Thereafter, he drifted from job to job, including working for his father, then got married in 1900, and had three children. It wasn't until 1911, when he was working for a wholesaler of pencil sharpeners that he found himself with a lot of downtime, which he filled by reading pulp fiction magazines. It gave Burroughs his epiphany: "…if people were paid for writing rot…I could write stories just as rotten," he'd later explain. He submitted his first story to All-Story Magazine a year later, and earned a nice hunk of change for it. He immediately became a full-time writer.
Tarzan of the Apes was published within twelve months and was so popular that Burroughs would go on to write two dozen sequels, as well as see his characters in at least five movie versions. He also wrote a series of books about an adventurer to Mars named John Carter, adventures to lost islands and the interior of Earth, westerns, and historical romances. Many of his stories first appeared in the fiction magazines that thrived in those days (and paid authors for their work, unlike today's online content creators). Burroughs set up a company to self-publish his own books in the early 1930s as well. Tarzana, California is named after the ranch he bought there, and there's a crater on Mars named in his honor. He died on this day in 1950, after having quit fiction in the 40's to serve as one of the oldest war correspondents covering WWII.
Writing is a behavior, not a title or job description.

Losing Ground
After getting crushed in November, Battleground Texas is fighting for survival and relevance—against other Democrats.
After getting crushed in November, Battleground Texas is fighting for survival and relevance—against other Democrats.
Observer Radio discusses the results of Battleground Texas' first big test. Also, a look at the dark history of the nation's deadliest act of mob violence.
The Observer's staffers examine what the Texas GOP's election night victories likely mean for the upcoming legislative session.
The Wendy Davis filibuster started a cascade of events that made the 2014 election especially bad for Texas Democrats.
Battleground has had a challenging first year and a half and its future is uncertain. But in 12 legislative races, including Wendy Davis' Fort Worth district, the group hopes to stake a claim to a future in Texas.
Debates over Hillary Clinton's participation in the Democratic convention says a lot about the different strategies employed by Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Putte.
Here are our top reasons why Sen. Wendy Davis probably has no shot at the governorship and why she just might pull off the upset.
It is not news that Latino population growth in Texas affords the moribund Texas Democratic Party at least an opportunity to find its way out of the wilderness. The question has long been, will the Democrats be able to seize it?

Why does he keep making eye contact with me?
Okay so I have this guy friend and well...I think I am starting to like him. Recently, I have noticed that he tries to hold eye contact with me. We... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
yeah it does.
guys that are shy about asking a girl out or letting them know how they feel will usually make eye contact and hope that you know what it means but of course you don't know what's going through their head.
just talk to him and tell him not to freak out but you might be developing some feelings for him and ask him how he feels about that.
it won't change anything in your friendship with him and will finally answer any thoughts you have about his feelings towards you .
What Guys Said 3
What Girls Said 1
Good question. I have the same situation. This guy (I suspect he is shy) always makes eye contact when we pass each other, even when he says Hi holds eyes on me a bit longer but he never approaches me. I'm not sure what he is thinking and I always end up think "Ehh, he must like just how nice I look" and nothing more.
Have an opinion?

Well, last Sunday was a big day at the Parks, with many Chatters in from various places - from sea to shining sea!
I get there a little before noon.
Heading down Main St, USA:
And to the Hub where I run into a couple of the Mice Chat mainstays:
There's Al and Darkbeer! They can show and tell with the best!
And here comes royalyy:
Princess Buttercup from NorCal - followed by Disney1978
And here are some of the out-of-staters:
Bill from FL, YoYoFlamingo from NY, and BigPigletFan from exotic Minnesota! (and one of PB's terrific twins a little on the right there)
Here is a better picture of the PB clan:
And some lovely flowers hanging nearby:
It's Matt and the Hamands:
From faraway San Diego!
And what party would be complete without NeverNeverLand:
You know it!
Here are couple of our neighbors to the North (LA):
MaryAnnInWondrlnd and her hubby Batm.. I mean Duckma... I mean Flash. I am pretty sure he has the whole JLA in his closet somewhere. Not that they are IN the closet...
Moving on...
People start posing for the group photos:
YoYo with the gorgeous ladies of MC:
He shows remarkable restraint in the face of all that July-heated womanhood.
While some of us are not so self-controlled:
OK, who called Security?
I swear I didn't touch anybody!
Aladdin drops by on his magic carpet:
And Steamboat Pete shows up for the first time to blow his whistle:
Great guy!
Here comes Coheteboy fashionably tardy:
But still the babe magnet...
BPF didn't think I was actually taking this picture:
Or did she??
Here comes Wanda Woman:
And that's Dan-Tasmic and TikiRoomLiz too!
So then it's about time for everyone's stomachs to implode (and some of us didn't get the golden tickets to 33), so we all head out to Whitewater snacks:
Look out! Here we come!
More food, fun, friends, frivolity, frankfurters, and folderol...
when we return.

As a Worship Leader and Choir Director at Agape Embassy Ministries, Nicois is thrilled about presenting new music from the project. "I am overjoyed with the response to the melodies I believe God has laid on my heart to share with his people," says the worshiper. "On May 12th we are going to laugh, sing, dance and be inspired as we celebrate just how GLORIOUS (Track One) God is. Get ready to experience a phenomenal blend of Contemporary, Rock, Pop, and Gospel sounds with ONE purpose - to serve as a joyful reminder that God has been madly in love with us since DAY ONE (Track Three)". The CD will be available for purchase on iTunes on the official release date of Tuesday, May 15, 2012.
Nicois is a gifted singer-songwriter and it's clear on Un-di-ni-a-bel that she's no novice. During the 11-track project, it's apparent that Nicois is in her element. With the makings of a Top Ten hit, the lead single, "Undeniable"
Nicois' passion lies in creating universal, powerful, and effective music for the Christian believer that stretches across genres, races and even, continents. Born in Arlington, VA, Nicois' desire to reach the masses through the ministry of melodies was planted at the age of seven when she joined the church choir. It was after the death of her father, however, that Nicois began to immerse herself into writing and singing. Gospel music became a major focus and she began singing for a well-known gospel choir named Images of Unity under the direction of Kenny Taylor. She became the lead singer of a renowned gospel band called Krazy Praise and eventually completed her first solo EP called Everyday Blessings. In October 2011, Nicois released her second EP called Undeniable.

Select Local Merchants
Big Wheel USARead MoreBig Wheel USA doesn't kid around when it comes to bikes. Its storefront showcases more than 300, each from top brands such as CamelBak and Crankbrothers. Far from limited to adult-sized bikes, Big Wheel USA stocks plenty other wheeled rides, including Trikkes, exercise bikes, and skateboards. Don't fret if nothing in the store strikes your fancy—Big Wheel's certified mechanics can customize your very own bike, complete with as many training wheels as it takes to make you feel safe. The technicians also conduct bike fittings and repair malfunctioning parts. Big Wheel also sells plenty of bike-related shoes and apparel, and keeps patrons abreast of the latest local rides and events.3169 NE 163rd StNorth Miami, FL US
Born Warriors Mixed Martial ArtsRead MoreAt Born Warriors Mixed Martial Arts, the instructors might be training cage-fighters one hour and 2-year-olds the next. They believe in the power of martial-arts training not just as a competitive tool, but as an agent of social change—one that's able to prevent bullying and increase anyone's knowledge of self-defense. Though they teach many disciplines—muay thai, tae kwon do, kickboxing, and jujitsu among them, with the head instructor obtaining a 1st dan tae kwon do black belt and 4th dan kempo black belt—their supportive attitudes remain constant across every class. They also keep their classes small, ensuring that students receive personalized, encouraging feedback.12499 NE 8th Ave.North Miami, FL US
British Swim SchoolRead MoreWading through indoor heated pools, the instructors at British Swim School teach independent swimming skills to learners aged 3 months and older, adhering to a curriculum devised by British national swimmer Rita Goldberg. The 30-minute one-on-one sessions and small-group lessons, containing six or fewer swimmers, elucidate essential techniques for water safety and the importance of speaking fluent manatee. Swimboree (ages 3 months–3 years with parents) and Young Minnows sessions (ages 1–3 years without parents) teach wee swimmers basic water-survival skills, such as the back float. Turtle One and Turtle Two classes focus on freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke maneuvers, honing more structured swimming skills in older kiddos. British Swim School's Shark courses enhance stamina and speed and teach even more demanding strokes, such as the butterfly and little-known mountain-goat flail. Certain British Swim School classes require parents to participate in the water or to supervise from the pool deck, and adults-only lessons allow grown-ups to refine their own abilities without the supervision of a toddler.630 West 49th StreetHialeah, FL US
Defensive Shooting Instructors, Inc.Read MoreDefensive Shooting Instructors' training staff includes Special Forces members, SWAT officials, and intelligence specialists. Drawing from these backgrounds, the highly trained team teaches dozens of public courses that cover everything from pistols to shotguns to hand-to-hand combat. Rather than guiding their students through simple lessons, the instructors run drills that simulate real-world conditions and aim to create safe-yet-intense environments. For firearms training, they travel to local ranges and put shooters through repetitive drills focused on speed, accuracy, and consistency. In addition to civilian instruction, Defensive Shooting Instructors designs courses for law enforcement officers, military members, and deploying journalists. Its staff mans a gun shop.1770 W 38th Pl.Hialeah, FL US
License2carryRead MoreThe Range License2Carry's indoor gun range is located in the same building as its classroom facilities, so classes can move seamlessly between lectures and live-fire instruction. Class Materials Instructors supply everything needed during classes—including loaner firearms, ammunition, targets, and ear and eye protection. At a Glance Every weekday at 10 a.m., the instructors at License2Carry open up their classrooms and lead a new crop of men and women through four-hour concealed-weapons-permit classes. These students are in good hands; each of the instructors has been trained by the Sig Sauer Firearm Training Academy and holds certifications as NRA Firearm Instructors and NRA Law-Enforcement Firearm Instructors.2640 West 84 StreetHialeah, FL US
Intensity Dancers' StudioRead MoreThe goals of the instructors at Intensity Dancers' Studio go far beyond dance—the team aspires to help their students become well-rounded individuals as they grow. That can even be seen by the number of students using their talents outside the studio, with some competing on teams at the national level. Children can participate in lessons that cover classic or modern dance styles at the school, where ballet gets equal billing with hip-hop and acrobatics options. As dancers progress, they not only learn proper technique and execution, but how to cultivate discipline and self-confidence, tools intended to help them success off the dance floor too.3300 w. 84th st. #17Hialeah, FL US

Sunday Homes: 09.14.08
CORPUS CHRISTI — Driving from San Antonio to Corpus Christi on weekends required some serious down time and a waterfront view for Annabell and George Ames.
It took about a year for the Ameses' real estate agent Mary Anne Sinclair, of Coldwell Banker Pacesetter Steel to find the perfect place at the Cliff House Apartments for the weekend work warriors and shopowners of Hanley–Wood.
"We looked at a lot of condos and this was the one," George said. "We needed a place to relax after work, and the view is just wonderful."
The couple unwinds on the balcony with sites of Corpus Christi Bay and the downtown area from their 12th floor condominium — a three bedroom, low- maintenance retreat the Ames can lock and leave without worrying about yard work.
Unique style
To personalize the pad, Annabell took care of the decorating, using antique and garage sale finds to charm spaces. They also tackled do–it–yourself painting projects and some of Annabell's crafty ideas to inject color and character into an outdated scene.
Slate floors replacing carpet open to a tangerine-walled entry with an eye-catching Balinese door panel depicting bright carvings of serpent–like animals. The striking welcoming leads to a tan-walled living area peppered with an eclectic collection of Indonesian and Mexican elements Annabell appreciates for their rusticity and vibrant colors.
Dreamy spaces
Tan wall color punctuates the folk art colors around the living space with a balconied view of the bay to daydream and filter natural light into the room.
The Ameses furnished the condo with things from home with the exception of a new tan microsuede sofa and matching loveseat to cushion their lounging. The sofa sits against a wall of wicker baskets Annabell collected over the years from her travels. A glass top square coffee table complements the sofa's modern edge, allowing George's handpainted sisal rug work to show its earthtone stripes.
"I painted it here and I wasn't a happy camper," he said. "A roller didn't work, so I had to paint it by hand. Never again."
A bench and wall hangings from Bali pick up the rug's colors.
Around the living room corner, papaya wall color surrounds a dark wood rectangular table with wrought iron chairs. A brown rustic ring chandelier with mini lamp shades hangs above handpainted Penzo china from Ames' shop. The African crafted plates and cups each depict a different jungle or animal scene. Blue–rimmed glasses and jewel toned striped napkins by Harvey & Strait finish the kaleidoscopic arrangement.
Colorful accommodations
Annabell's love for color flows into the grandkids' lemon-walled bedroom, then a turquoise hallway to the master suite's coral orange scene. The couple sleeps and awakens to a constant view of the bay from a private balcony. A fluffy white down comforter with monogrammed shams looks crisp against a Tiffany blue quilt and a six-panel mosaic wall hanging. Annabell pieced together left over Tiffany felt bags to sew the quilt and she crafted the art-like mosaic from closet doors and china shards.
"Watching the sunrises, sunsets, the boat races… it's all just glorious," Annabell said.

The NADM Diesel Country Nationals Had It All
Those who were in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the NADM Diesel Country Nationals got more than they bargained for on May 6 and 7, 2011. Sure, Ron Knoch, one of the head guys at NADM, promised a fun weekend full of drag racing, sled pulling and all-around diesel partying, but even he didn't know the full extent of the wildness that was to descend upon the show at the Crossroads Dragway and adjoining Wabash Valley Fairgrounds.
Things were going great for a while. Friday evening saw a huge gathering of diesel draggers ready to try out the 1.8-mile track. A total of 41 trucks paired off in front of 1,500 fans that were inside and outside against the fence and watching the action. What the locals call "a little weather" was scheduled to appear anytime, but those assembled only had speed on their minds.
Local racers and top guys from the surrounding states put on a great show. They included Matt Handwork, running the "Boneshaker," and Wade Moody, with his killer ex-NHRA S-10. Both were out to run for the first time. The racing was great and was over by about 10 o'clock. Not a drop of rain fell. Everybody was hoping it would hold out just a little longer.
Sunday broke a little wet, but nothing too bad, and it made for potentially good conditions on the pulling track. The vendor row area, which also had some of the nicer show-and-shine contestants, opened. There were plenty of parts on hand to entice all. In addition, the crew from Bean's Diesel had the dyno setup for anyone who wanted to put his or her diesel up against the needle. The sled pulling got started right at 1:30—and there was still no appreciable rainfall.
A packed grandstand watched as the various classes competed against each other. The big winner of the weekend was Terry Coppess, from Elwood, Indiana, in his 1998 Dodge; he took both the 2.6 and 3.0 Street Diesel classes. Will Dalenburg, of Indianola, Illinois, went 357.05 in his 2005 Chevy to take the Work Stock class, while Ben Miller bested the Modified class with a 320.13.
All that was left was the music concert, held later that afternoon. Approximately 1,600 fans attended. The concert setting was a 20-x-50-foot stage with half-million dollar sound system behind it. The music was great, and folks were having a great time. But while Lit Endz and James Wesley (the opening bands) played, the sky turned black.
Trent Tomlinson was the supposed headliner, but Ma Nature made a big entrance with high winds, marble-sized hail—and finally, a tornado, which supposedly touched down within a ¼ mile of the stage. It was a scary moment for those trying to get their families to a safe place. In fact, the sheriff's department rushed everyone into the concrete-walled restrooms for safety. Although the winds, rain and hail tore up the place, nobody was hurt.
NADM has a full schedule planned for this year. They may not be able to promise a tornado at every one of them, but if you want to get more information on finding an NADM event near you, check out their website: www.dieselmotorsports.us.

text: Description Suggest an Edit Built in 1871 to transport the region's high-quality limestone to support Pittsburgh's growing steel industry, the Butler-Freeport line was the first railroad in the county. After a two-day celebration of the opening, the railroad conducted a mock funeral for the stagecoach that ran between the two towns. A branch of the Western Pennsylvania Railroad, the line became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system in 1903 before closing.The ButlerFreeport Community Trail on the corridor, open since 1989, is nestled in the scenic wooded valley that follows Little Buffalo Creek to Buffalo Creek and on to the Allegheny River at Freeport. About an hour northeast of the City of Pittsburgh, the trail is flat and easy to ride. Heading south from Butler, you'll be on a slight incline. The trail surface changes from crushed stone to dirt to asphalt.Remains of old stone quarries and brick kilns can be seen in the southern section of the trail. As you head north from Cabot, the results of late 1800 development are still visible. The former Saxon City Hotel, built in 1871, remains as does an old still-active lumberyard.From April to October you can see an abundance of wildflowers, including trillium, Turk's cap lily, tall bellflower and butterfly weed. The trail is a popular recreation venue. Visitors come to enjoy bird watching and fishing, and the annual fall Buffalo Creek Half-Marathon always attracts a crowd. Before leaving Freeport, stop by the Freeport Area Historical Society office, where you'll find a wealth of information on the cultural and industrial history of the region. The ButlerFreeport Trail Council maintains a passport-oriented historic geocache adventure, with up to 20 caches along the trail. Check their website for details. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access To reach the Butler trailhead from Pittsburgh, take State Route 28 North to a left onto SR 356 North. Go about 4 miles to Sarver Road. Bear right on Sarver Road and go 1 mile to Buffalo Township Fire Station, which will be on your left. Park in the upper lot at the fire station. There are numerous other trailheads and places to park long the trail's route. At the trail's current southern end point, park below the Buffalo Street bridge where it intersects Butler Rd./SR 356. Parking is also available in Sarver (Sarver Road) and in two places between Sarver and Freeport (Bear Creek Road and Monroe Road). Park in Cabot (Winfield Road) and in Herman (Brinker Road, Bonniebrook Road) and where Becker and Great Belt roads intersect. Click to read more Reviews Mediocre trail May, 2015 by Tesgin Ugh.
