Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Pain of Salvation -- Montreal, Quebec -- May 8th, 2013
Venue: Cabaret du Mile End
Other bands playing: Imminent Sonic Destruction, Heaven's Cry
Tour: North American Tour 2013
At first, I was scared that this show wouldn't happen, because Pain of Salvation's mainman, Daniel Gildenlöw, had gotten very sick and had to go to the hospital and cancel the Quebec City date the day before. This sucked because the bands all traveled there for nothing (even Heaven's Cry who were also playing that gig). Fortunately, a few hours before the show, the band confirmed that it would happen on facebook by reminding us that the show had changed venues; it was originally supposed to happen at Foufounes Électriques. This concert was actually my way to celebrate the end of my semester at university: my last exam ended at 6:30 and the show started at 7:00. Though, it didn't exactly happen like that; I finished my exam early and got the time to go buy my ticket for the Rotten Sound gig and went to eat, taking my time and relaxing, which made me miss the opening act, Imminent Sonic Destruction, a prog band from Detroit. I got there right in time to hear the opening notes to Kingcrow's first song. It was my first time at the Mile End Cabaret and I was fairly impressed: the place was clean, beautiful and had a really cool, cozy ambience. Thus, it was pretty large, with a lot of chairs and tables all over the place and a small dancefloor in the middle, and the sound was really well balanced. In other words, not a metal venue. The Italian progsters Kingcrow were pretty good. I had never heard about them before this tour was announced, but I enjoyed what I saw and heard. What struck me was that the guys were alle typically italian: the guitarist had the cliché semi-long dark brown hair and the mustache and the vocalist kept making those over-expressive theatrical/sensual poses, moves and facial expressions. At some points, it got hilarious. Nonetheless, they were good musicians and the crowd was pretty enthusiastic to them. However, they played for about 45 minutes and, around the 2-3 last songs I started getting bored. I just think that their riffs are a bit too ordinary and the emotional parts did absolutely nothing to me. Though, I have to say I was impressed by their bassist's creative lines, even if he stayed in his corner and didn't move at all, that guy is a pro.
The next band, Heaven's Cry, wasn't on tour with Pain of Salvation, but were playing on both Quebec shows. They're a local prog/power metal band, featuring Éric from Despised Icon on guitar, that released two albums in the 90's and recently made their apparently unnoticed comeback on Prosthetic Records. They don't play the kind of music I normally like, but they're a good live band. I had seen them open for Katatonia in 2011 and they had improved this time. Their songs were epic and cheesy like any band that has anything to do with power metal, but to a moderately enjoyable level. They were pretty heavy, the bassist/guitarist vocal duo was impeccable and they had some great arrangements in some songs. My favourite parts were when they combined Pierre's stellar accoustic sounding melodies with Éric's metallic riffing. The only thing I have to fault them at is that all the keyboard parts were played from the PA and that brought out some problems when the samples didn't work as planned. Anyway, a lot of friends (and the drummer's family, who were all at least 70 years old) were there to see them and all seemed to have a blast.
After the local band finished playing, it was time for the swedish progressive musical explorers Pain of Salvation to take the stage by storm. Yet, even if they're so fast at changing time signatures and musical styles, they're slow as hell at changing stage setups. The changeup and soudcheck took way too long and it was very boring since I hadn't gone to this show with any of my friends and I didn't feel like talking to other people at all. At this time, I was actually starting to feel the exhaustion I had accumulated throughout my end of semester at university. From this moment up to the end of the show, I alternately felt like I was going to pass out or like I was going to puke, without having drank a single drop of alcohol. Still, I hadn't gone there and paid 25$ for nothing, so I decided to stay, go get some fresh air and drink lots of water before the headliners started, which unfortunately both did nothing to help. What did help, though, was when the band started playing. Daniel came alone, only accompanied by a backing track to sing the beautiful "Road Salt", then gestured for his bandmates to come join him and get heavy in "Softly She Cries". The venue wasn't sold out, but the floor was packed for them and I could see that the fans were ecstatic to get to see them. They fervently sang the lyrics to songs like "Linoleum", "Ashes" or "Ending Theme" and clapped their hands when they had to. After the first of the three songs I just mentionned, the keyboard died on them, so Léo bursted into an impressive drum solo (it was one of the rare times I really enjoyed a drum solo in a live set) in order to give Daniel Karlsson time to fix his gear up. Daniel Gildenlöw was still sick like a dog, but that didn't keep him from giving an entertaining, precise and honest performance. His voice failed him at some points, but he didn't let it bring him down; he just made fun of it. He kept joking about the people who sat at the right end of the venue and other stuff I can't remember; I only remember it was funny and amusing. For "1979", he switched to an acoustic guitar. This was the best part of the set, in my opinion, because all the songs were rearranged for this setting. I love it when band take on another view of their songs in live shows. "Spitfall" sounded really good in its semi-acoustic rendition, but the highlights were the rockabilly/tribal version of "Stress" and their masterfully and sensually executed jazz cover of Dio's classic "Holy Diver". Other highlights were, "Disco Queen", for which people were forced to "do the 80's dance or jump", and the epic title track to 2000's The Perfect Element. After that one, they were called back by the frantic shouting of the crowd and played another song from the Road Salt saga. I know they played "Falling" and "Sisters" on previous dates, but they were probably cut due to Daniel's illness, which was fine by me because I was tired as hell and wanted to go back to bed. There were also some lowlights to the show: there were too many downtimes in between the songs and it kinda broke down the intensity sometimes, but that's understandable since Daniel needed some time to catch his breath. The main inconvenience was in fact a part of the crowd. I have no idea if this is something that's particular to prog shows, since this was my first real one but there was an awful lot of disrespectful douchebags in there that never stopped talking really loud, even in the softer songs, and always tried to grab people's attention, distracting them from the performance they were trying to appreciate. The worse of them were idiots whom I know play in the prog/wankery band Trancend (just look at those two in the middle, especially the one with the scarf - at the end I wanted to strangle him). Seriously, if you read this, keep your attention-whoring for your own shows and leave the music lovers alone. Anyway, it still was an excellent concert and a fine way to mark the end of my final exam rush. After it was over, I grabbed my bike and rode all the way back to the northern part of town under the soothing rain that was pouring - it got a bit heavy by the end, but wasn't that bad.

Good write-up, man. Pain of Salvation are my favorite band and I've been able to see them twice, most recently in Pennsylvania on this tour. We got a shorter set, but Daniel wasn't as sick at that time, so it probably ran more smoothly.
I also love all three of the Heaven's Cry albums and I was really trying to find a way to make it to the Montreal show too, but I had to choose. If they did "Beds Are Burning" that must have ruled.
I don't think they played "Beds Are Burning". I remember that they played "Gaïa's Judgement" and "The Alchemist", as well as "The Hollow" and "Wheels of Impermanence", plus 3-4 others.

I am going to the Chicago gig. Can't wait.

Lauzon to modify documents key to City Place plans
BARRE – Two key documents needed to advance a private developer's plans for City Place have yet to be approved and will be modified by Mayor Thomas Lauzon and circulated to the City Council by Friday.
Acting out of what he characterized as an abundance of caution, Lauzon urged the council not to authorize City Manager Steve Mackenzie to execute the documents, which involve the city's unexpected role in a complex series of land transactions later this month. Those transactions will pave the way for a massive downtown redevelopment project that will be built directly across North Main Street from Depot Square.
This week Lauzon said he believed two of the draft documents presented to the council for its consideration need work and he wasn't prepared to authorize Mackenzie to sign either of them.
"I'm not there yet," he said Tuesday night.
According to Lauzon, neither document – both of which involve the city's plan to purchase and temporarily hold a commercial property on Merchant Street that is vital to the City Place project – is in its "final and appropriate form." He argued the council should have an opportunity to thoroughly review the final documents before authorizing Mackenzie to sign them.
Mackenzie wondered whether that was necessary. He said Lauzon has and will continue to play an active role in drafting the documents and worried that any last-minute "wordsmithing" by the council could be problematic given uncertainty about the timing of a closing date. The closing, he said, has slid once, is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 28, but could happen sooner.
Lauzon said he wasn't proposing a potentially deal-breaking delay and vowed the council would move swiftly – warning an emergency meeting on four hours notice if need be – to accommodate all of the parties involved in a $1.3 million transaction that will require three cross-collateralized properties to change hands simultaneously.
"We're not going to hold anyone up," he said.
Though the seller – CDW Properties LLC – is the same the three buyers are all different and the fact that the city will be one of them requires an extra level of vigilance on the part of the council, Lauzon said.

yeah i dont like this deal but u never know steve francis or stephon might be traded for lamar odom cuz lakers offered odom for francis now that we have em, the knicks dont have to trade frye,just a thought
Isiah is really out to lunch on this one. He is a carbon copy of Marbury, very good player, but now what we need. Hey I have an idea, let's trade for Iverson as well.
The only thing that I can say is that as much as Isiah Thomas is an idiot, James Dolan is even further out there if he belives that Francis is the solution or that getting Francis is the bigger part of a master plan to get Garnet.
Jim and Isiah, I have only one thing to say; "The first step towards solving a problem is admitting you have it....."
yeah i dont like this deal but u never know steve francis or stephon might be traded for lamar odom cuz lakers offered odom for francis now that we have em, the knicks dont have to trade frye,just a thought
I would love it if we turned around and sent Francis to LA for Odom, then it might be a decent trade.
I really did not think we needed this deal. Last night was the first night with both Marbusry and Rose on the floor together and even though Miami throttled us, have Rose, Marbury, Curry and Frye on the floor together spreads the defense much more. Given some time that could have jelled.
Isiah is going to use Francis to get KG in the offseason
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
I would love to beleive that we will use Francis to get Garnett in the offseason, but in the words of Aerosmith, "Dream On", that ain't gonna happen
Getting Francis doesn't make much sense at this moment, so I'm confident there is a plan on the way.
But one thing is for sure... we did steal him. Think about it people, we only gave up Trevor and Penny.
DAMN, that's a heist in any league.
desde la cuna del chango
mdelton i dont report anything but facts on this site. everything is sparked by truth. so when i tell you the only reason Francis is here is because Isiah is trying to stockpile enough talent to land KG in the offseason. you should believe me...ask Larry & Dolan who he sold on the deal.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
Yeah and it also allows an opposing offense to score about 140 points a game.Originally Posted by mdelton
NYKnicks15: Even if that is the reason why this trade was made (I don't believe it either, because Isiah has shown he doesn't have this kind of foresight) it is extremely risky to throw your eggs in such a basket becuase the chances of it happening seem very slim.
Larry should seriously consider to let these guys have their way on offense. The season is practically lost anyway, so he should just relax on the offensive side and let these guys use their skills, which are best suited for the run and gun, and just focus on teaching defense.
The summer will be good, and like al preseasons, we will be excited once again. Hoepfully, next season is really the one where the team breaks out.
desde la cuna del chango
Listen, the reality here is that Isiah's poker face wasn't as good as the GM from Orlando. Orlando's goal was to have the most cap room for the 2007 free agents. Taylor's contract would have given them that! If Isiah would have used PH for any other trade, I trully believe he would have still gotten Frances for Crawford and Taylor. See, the issue is all the GM's in the league know that we are so desperate for any type of change, at any given time, that we have no back bone and can be used to dump on. That is the truth, plain and simple. If Orlando believed for a second that Isiah would just let the contract expire, rather than take on a player that reazlly wasn't needed that bad, they might have gave in a little. But every GM can stand their ground with out even batting an eye lash. There is no healthy fear or even respect for the Knicks.
I will give isiah the benefit of the doubt and say he will do something amazing wit all these contracts so lets not get mad yet...i think he has some sort of plan to try and get all contracts to end in the same year so he ends up under the cap...Call me crazy but just think about it
Ok...so then you're crazy...Isiah has shown during his tenure that he's totally clueless and has not shown any ounce of a plan. Everyone is talking about this Garnett thing, but how likely is it that the T'Wolves woudl want to take back people like Francis or Rose, who have max contracts that are at least 2-3 yrs long, and aren't expiring. Only a GM like Isiah takes on contracts like that when he's trying to "rebuild" and unfortunately for us, he's our GM.Originally Posted by TheNextBestThing
RMK putting your Isiah hates aside. Think about this logically. Here infact I'll give you a little insight. Kevin Garnett has been pushing for a trade to NY since the offseason but out of respect has given McHale and owner Glen Taylor a chance to please him...obviously not happening.
Jalen Rose this offseason actually is an expiring contract. so I dont know what you're talking about there. and why would Minny want Steve Francis for KG. THEY DONT. theyd love to keep the big ticket. but if your going to get something for him you mind as well get an allstar player.
also KG wants to be in NY. he wants to play with Steph again. and Glen Taylor has so much love and respect for KG for signing for cheap so they could sign Spree and build a team. for stickin around when they traded away Cassell. for giving the franchise a chance. that he will do whatever KG asks, when KG asks. no matter what.
dont ask reporters or news reporters. dont ask Steph. dont ask KG. dont ask Isiah or McHale. they wont speak on this. and for some it wouldnt be smart too. but if you ask KG's friends...theyll tell you whats up.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice

Compact addresses immigration reform
- published_in
- Guest Column
Since our nation's founding, immigration has played an integral role in our economy, as workers and families are drawn here by the promise of opportunity and the allure of achieving the American dream. In the process, billions of dollars in consumer spending are added to the economy.
However, the issue is also an emotional one, with no shortage of rhetoric and political posturing. That rhetoric is merely noise that covers up what the business community recognizes are the real problems — whether it's highly educated students that are forced to go back to their home countries where they will compete with our own workers and businesses in the global marketplace or a visa system that undermines Colorado's robust tourism industry — we need reform.
Unfortunately, our lawmakers have focused more on the politics around the issue than on workable solutions. Our employees, our suppliers, our customers and our competitors across the globe will tell you that sort of politics and posturing just doesn't cut it in the real world.
We signed on to the Colorado Compact because it is time for a real conversation about immigration and about how to solve this problem now.
The Colorado Compact, a nonpartisan initiative spearheaded by Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and former Sen. Hank Brown, R-Colo., does just that. It brings together more than 400 organizations and community leaders to agree on a set of principles to guide immigration reform.
By bringing together people who are directly impacted by the immigration debate – law enforcement, immigration advocates, faith-based leaders, business owners, farmers and others – the compact sends a message to Washington that there is indeed an appetite for civil discourse and common ground on this issue. Comprehensive reform is possible.
The compact outlines several points that we believe should serve as a framework for any discussion on reforms. It acknowledges that our immigration policies are the responsibility of the federal government, and it prioritizes both maintaining safe and secure borders and keeping close families together.
Most importantly for business owners, we signed the compact because it demonstrates a clear commitment to ensuring that any immigration reform policy must be developed with the best interest of the economy in mind.
The compact recognizes that Colorado is best served by a free-market philosophy that maximizes individual freedom and opportunity. It supports an immigration system flexible enough to address the needs of businesses while protecting the interests of workers. This approach includes a visa system that is responsive and effective at meeting the demands of our economy — for example, supporting high-tech companies in hiring highly skilled grads coming out of our own universities — but one that also acknowledges the beneficial economic contributions immigrants make as workers, taxpayers and consumers – in Colorado alone, undocumented workers represent an overall economic impact of $33 billion, that's 13 percent of our state's total output.
Immigration is a high priority for us in Colorado. We need our leaders in Washington to leave their politics at the door and have a frank discussion about what it will take to enact real and lasting reforms to our immigration system. The Colorado Compact is the place to start.

At one time there was some $850,000 available to build a Scenic Byway Visitors Center on Route 97. But because there was a county match required of $150,000, and tough economic times gripping the county and world, the project has not come to fruition.
At a meeting of the Sullivan County Legislature at the government center on May 8, lawmakers held a lengthy discussion on the topic, and it's possible that the money promised in the past may not be available now. Former Congressman Maurice Hinchey secured $600,000 for the project in 2006, but because of inactivity that was reduced in 2011. And, because the proposed location of the center was moved from the Cochecton Train Station to the Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History, new congressional action would be needed in order to secure federal funding.
Also, Senator John Bonacic secured $250,000, but Jill Weyer, the acting commissioner of the Sullivan County Division of Planning & Environmental Management told the legislature the money "at the moment is also in jeopardy and may not be there."
Weyer and other members of the department asked the legislature if they should move forward with attempting to have some of that money redirected toward the project.
During a discussion about the merits of the project, it was noted that some 300,000 visitors a year are drawn to the Upper Delaware River Corridor in which the new center would be located, and could possibly serve as host for events year round, whereas Fort Delaware is available only in the summer months.
In 2011, a concept for a building on the site was designed with a proposed cost of $1.4 million. The building has several unique features such as a living roof that would support vegetation and which visitors would be able to walk on.
It was noted that an existing building at the site has bathrooms that need to be updated and that the new building could house new bathrooms.
Weyer said that, with permission from the legislature, the planning staff could apply for state funding through the Consolidated Funding Application process to have construction documents for the building drawn up.
Legislator Cindy Geiger was concerned about the price tag of the facility.
Legislator Gene Benson said he agreed with legislator Alan Sorensen and chairman Scott Samuleson, "You've got to spend to make."
Geiger quickly replied, "We don't have."
Benson, "I know we don't have, but if they're going to get grants and different types of funding, I think we should give them the go-ahead to do that." The legislature ultimately agreed that the project should move forward.
The actual funding, if secured, will go to the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway.

August 21, 2013 —
Proposition One on the ballot in the November election will be a question as to whether voters in the state want to alter the state constitution to allow non-Indian Class III gaming in the state. If the voters approve, that would open the way for four casinos to open in three regions in the state, the Capital Region, the Finger Lakes and the Catskills. One of the regions would be able to open two casinos.
Business people, elected officials, union members and residents turned out in the hundreds on August 14 at The Sullivan in Rock Hill to pick up lawn signs, buttons and other materials urging the public to vote yes on Proposition One.
Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther told the crowd, "From Long Island to Buffalo, we need everybody to participate, because we all gain when this referendum is passed. We're going to teach people to turn the ballot over and vote yes on Prop One."
In the initial years of the proposed plan, there will be no casinos in New York City and other downstate locations, but casino supporters are hoping that the lure of new dollars for education will be enough to encourage down-state voters to support the proposition.
Tax revenues from the new casinos would be split, with 80% being used statewide to help pay for elementary and secondary education or property tax relief, 10% split between the town and county, and 10% going to other counties in the region.
County legislature chairman Scott Samuelson also addressed the crowd. He said, "What impresses me most is the diversity [of the audience]—young, old, it looks like we have some second home-owners, we've got everybody here. Everybody is looking for the same thing, economic development and a better future for our community."
There was a heavy union presence in the gathering, with many members of various unions wearing T-shirts that supported Proposition One. Sam Fratto, business manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 363 and vice president of the Hudson Valley Building Trades Council, said he and his members were there because a yes vote will mean jobs for his members; but he also stressed that all school districts in the state would benefit, and after years of austerity, all schools could use a boost from casino revenues.
He added that the jobs created would be union jobs, which come with benefits that many non-union workers are increasingly being denied. He said, "Normally they don't get a health plan, and retirement plans today are becoming rarer and rarer. So with a union job and a contract to work under, there are three main things: good wages, a health plan for your family and a way to retire someday."
Georgia Siegel said she graduated from college two years ago, and moved back to the area, but many of her friends have moved away because of a lack of opportunities. She said, "I hope New York supports the November referendum and that Sullivan County has the chance to grow jobs. I want to be able to stay here, work here and encourage my friends to move here."
Support from towns
The last time there was serious talk about casinos opening in Sullivan County, there was a push for five to be located here. That brought resistance from some of the municipalities. In 2005, the towns of Cochecton and Delaware passed resolutions saying that they opposed five casinos. The Town of Bethel passed a resolution banning casinos from the town, but did not necessarily take a position on casinos elsewhere.
This time around, there seems to be solid support from the towns. Eleven of the 15 town supervisors have voted in favor of a resolution supporting casinos, with the supervisor of the Town of Fremont abstaining. No supervisors voted against the resolution. It says in part, "Gaming, as a single component within a destination resort, will provide the much needed catalyst to stimulate further economic growth in Sullivan County and support of our local community."
Support from legislators
Among the county legislators in 2005, there were some who were opposed to the development of casinos. This time around there is broader support. At a meeting at the government center on August 15, eight legislators voted for a resolution in support of gambling.
The resolution said in part, "It is vital that the people of Sullivan County and the entire State of New York, vote yes on Proposition One and that the referendum on the November 2013 ballot authorizing Class III Gaming be approved."
Legislator Cindy Gieger voted no, saying she was opposed to supporting one position over another ahead of the vote by the people in November.

Boulder Brands leases spot on Pearl Street
- published_in
- Real Estate
Terms of the deal for the space at 1600 Pearl St., which is owned by Unico Properties LLC, were not released.
The building is undergoing the addition of a third level, which is the space Boulder Brands (NYSE: BDBD) will occupy. That addition is expected to be finished in the fall, at which time Boulder Brands will make the move.
Internet cloud security provider Symplified Inc., and cloud storage provider SolidFire Inc., currently occupy the second floor while the first floor and basement of the building are empty.
Boulder Brands, which reported revenue of $49.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, includes several brands in the gluten-free and natural foods categories, including Udi's, Glutino and Earth Balance products. About 60 employees will move into the new Boulder Brands space, which includes about 10 from its Udi's location in Denver.
Boulder Brands changed its name from Smart Balance Inc., in January, and the move to Boulder is part of the company's efforts to align itself with the burgeoning natural foods business the town is known for."
Chris Boston of Gibbons-White Inc. in Boulder represented Boulder Brands in the lease, and Unico property manager David Workman represented the owners.
REALTOR TARGETS VALLEY: A California-based real estate brokerage is opening an office in Colorado and targeting the residential market in the Boulder Valley.
Carrington Real Estate Services LLC, based in Santa Ana, California, will open an office at 2009 W. Littleton Blvd., No. 200, in Littleton, from which it plans to cover the cities of Boulder, Longmont, Erie, Denver, Lakewood, Littleton and Fort Lupton.
The office will be headed by Jetta Yacovetta, a 25-year veteran of the real estate industry. Yacovetta began her career as a general contractor building custom and semi-custom homes in upstate New York, eventually relocating to Colorado in 1994 to work as a Realtor in commercial leasing and residential sales.
Carrington provides consumers direct access to related services such as mortgage lending and title insurance through its affiliation with Carrington Holding Co. LLC.
NURSERY EXPANDING: The Boulder Day Nursery is fundraising in hopes that construction can begin next summer on a 10,000 to 12,000-square-foot Lafayette Community School.
Boulder Day Nursery, an early education and daycare center at 1518 Spruce Street in Boulder, needs to raise about $1.5 million to build its new school in Lafayette, executive director Steve Callander said.
Boulder Day Nursery will keep its location in Boulder. The site of the planned community school is at the Westgate office park at 1135 Cimarron Drive in Lafayette, about a quarter mile west of Centaurus High School along South Boulder Road. Lafayette Community School will serve infants through pre-kindergarten age children year-round.
The new building will be Boulder Day Nursery's second phase at Westgate.
Last summer, Boulder Day Nursery paid $1 million to purchase a building and five empty lots at Westgate that had gone into foreclosure. The building purchased was partially finished at the time, and Boulder Day Nursery will have it completed for use by Boulder County Head Start preschool for 3, 4 and 5-year-olds by July 1. Classes there begin in August.
Around the time of the purchase last summer, Head Start had had lost its space at Sanchez Elementary in east county and moved into temporary space owned by the county. Head Start will lease from Boulder Day Nursery.
Boulder Day Nursery's purchase last summer included six of the nine lots at Westgate counting the building Head Start will occupy. The other three lots already had buildings on them.
Callander said Boulder Day Nursery has set one of the lots it purchased aside for either future development by the Lafayette Community School or to sell for use as an office building.
HILLCREST EXPANDS: Hillcrest Glass LLC is expanding into a second location after experiencing rapid growth in the commercial side of its business over the past couple of years.
The Longmont-based company, which specializes in commercial and residential glass installations, has leased about 9,000 square feet of warehouse space at 3762 Puritan Way in Frederick.
The new space will house the commercial side of Hillcrest's business, while the residential portion will remain at the original location at 504 Fourth Ave. in Longmont.
Lisa Sklar, who purchased the 44-year-old company with her husband, Michael, in 2007, said the expansion came mainly because the commercial side of the business had outgrown Hillcrest's current home, which is about 7,000 square feet. Hillcrest's annual revenue reached $2.5 million in 2012, a 67 percent increase during a two-year period. That figure landed the company No. 21 on the Boulder County Business Report's Mercury 100 list of the fastest-growing private companies in Boulder and Broomfield counties with revenue of more than $2 million.
Some of the buildings where Hillcrest has done glasswork recently include Fate Brewing Co. in Boulder and the Microsoft/Bing offices in downtown Boulder, for which Hillcrest recently won a Colorado Glazing Contractors Association award.
Hillcrest, which opened in 1969, has 23 employees. Sklar said the expansion doesn't include adding any jobs at this time.
The location in Frederick, Sklar said, gives Hillcrest easier access to Interstate 25.
SPA, EAST/WEST ON MOVE: The owners of Salt Spa Inc. and East/West Integrated Medicine Inc. in Boulder have purchased a building at 333 South Boulder Road in Louisville with plans to move the two businesses there.
Allen Tawa and Dr. Nita Desai purchased the 6,540-square-foot building from RA Putnam and Associates for $625,000. Two of the four office suites in the building currently are the longtime homes to an Edward Jones financial advisers branch office and McCarty Dental Group. The other two spaces are empty.
Salt Spa, co-owned by Desai and Tawa, and Desai's East/West are both at 2885 Aurora Ave. in Boulder, and the location in Louisville gives them more space. Tawa said he expects the Louisville opening to occur by Aug. 1.
The two businesses will occupy two of the four office spaces in the building, accounting for 3,520 square feet of the space. The Edward Jones branch and McCarty Dental Group recently renewed five-year leases on their respective locations.
Wade Arnold and B. Scot Smith of The Colorado Group represented the seller in the deal, and Tom Hill of Wright Kingdom Real Estate represented the buyer.

History of the Peace Corps in South Africa
The Peace Corps arrived in South Africa at a historic and critical juncture in the country's history. At a White House ceremony in October 1994, former Presidents Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela met to seal a bond of friendship and a promise to work together to transform South Africa from a divided nation to one united by its commitment to build a democratic, nonracially based society. The Peace Corps was a small but important part of that agreement. The first group of 35 Volunteers arrived in January 1997 to work in the education sector. Since that time, more than 200 Volunteers have served or are serving in South Africa. In 2001, Peace Corps/South Africa responded to the government's request to join in a partnership against HIV/AIDS. In addition to serving as resources for primary school educators, Volunteers now assist local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in building their capacity to meet the demands of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Currently, about 85 Volunteers work in education and with NGOs.
History and Future of Peace Corps Programming in South Africa
Peace Corps/South Africa focuses on two main areas of vital need: education and NGO development. Within these areas, projects have evolved based on project assessments and the needs of the government, organizations, and communities with which we work. Currently, Volunteers are working in the Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape and Kwa Zulu Natal provinces.
Peace Corps/South Africa began implementing its school and community resource project in 1997. Volunteers work with district and circuit educational offices to instill a culture of learning, teaching, and service in schools and disadvantaged communities. To be most effective, this project operates in predominantly black, rural primary schools in villages and townships.
Each school resource Volunteer works with a cluster of three or four schools serving 40 to 50 teachers and administrators. Volunteers are placed at the primary school level, where they facilitate the understanding and skills of teachers involved in the continued rollout of the new national outcomes-based curriculum, aid school management teams in building capacities related to effective administration, and seek to creatively involve parents and community members in a mutually reinforcing relationship with schools. In addition, school resource Volunteers are involved in activities to help their communities, such as environmental projects, HIV/AIDS education, computer training, income-generating projects, and youth development.
The NGO capacity-building project began in 2001 in response to the growing challenges that HIV/AIDS poses for the South African government and civil society. This project offers a unique opportunity to play a significant role in the development of peri-urban South Africa, putting Volunteers at the forefront of the country's response to the epidemic. Volunteers are placed with NGOs in all four provinces to provide HIV/AIDS services at the grassroots level.
The goal is to help these organizations become more effective and sustainable while increasing the provision of HIV/AIDS services to communities in need. Volunteers provide advice to NGOs on how to improve the quality and effectiveness of their programs and services, mentor NGO staff, and introduce or strengthen creative approaches to resource identification and mobilization.

- Abstract
- One of the major 'silences' in the general literature on education and work for many decades has related to young girls and women. It was only in the mid 1970s that major studies began to address the differing educational retention rates for girls in Australia (e.g. Schools Commission 1975) and later to focus on segmentation in the labour market (e.g. Game & Pringle 1983). There has also been the recognition that 'work' for women can involve both paid and unpaid work (e.g. Mitchell 1971; Navarra 1980) and, more recently, that women in the workforce have a dual role (career and family) and a double work burden in the home and work contexts (Alpert & Culbertson 1987). In this chapter, we focus on an underresearched area in the link between the worlds of school and work. We attempt to clarify 'career' and 'family' orientations, and to bring together the scattered literature in the field. Specifically, we discuss: Australian education policy during the 1980s, with reference to girls' schooling and their career orientations; various environmental factors that influence career and/or family orientations in adolescent girls; sociocontextual influences that have set the foundations for a trend for women's entry into careers; and the development of these orientations as they affect attirudes to schooling and career paths. The conclusion draws together broad demographic, cultural and economic changes with social-psychological and environmental factors influencing women's decision-making, in a discussion of the direction and importance of women's future work, and the role of education in that process.

August 29, 1995
Release # 95-159
WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Wayne Industries Inc. of Clanton, Ala., is voluntarily recalling over 40,000 portable electric advertising signs. The signs lack ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and could expose consumers to electric shock or electrocution.CPSC is aware of one fatality in which a consumer was electrocuted after touching a sign which had been altered. A second consumer has claimed injuries after being shocked by the same sign.The white signs measuring 40 inches by eight feet have a black metal frame. The signs are illuminated from inside and have a large, black arrow with yellow lights across the top. Letters can be attached to both sides of the sign. A label on the side of the sign identifies the manufacturer as Wayne Industries. The signs were sold nationwide from January 1982 to January 1995 for about $300 in warehouse clubs and various other retailers such as Sam's Warehouse Club, Warehouse Depot, and BJ's Wholesale. Consumers who own a sign manufactured by Wayne Industries should disconnect it immediately and inspect their signs for two buttons marked "T" and "R" located underneath the small cover near the tip of the arrow. The recalled signs do not have these buttons and lack ground fault protection. Consumers should call Wayne Industries at (800) 239-9990 to obtain an attachable ground fault circuit interrupter. This recall applies only to 40 inch by 8 foot portable electric advertising signs that lack GFCI protection. Signs with an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Label have GFCI protection and are not part of this recall.CPSC recommends that all outdoor portable electric signs have GFCI protection. CPSC encourages consumers to inspect their signs for adequate ground fault protection.

Springfield police probe suspected meth labPhoto by Len Emery
Police searched this home at 17 Poplar St. in Springfield on Friday and said they found items that could be used in drug activity.
SPRINGFIELD A local woman, concerned that her housemates were involved with illegal drugs, brought police components of what officers described as a meth lab in the trunk of her car.
Springfield Police Chief Douglas Johnston said Friday the case was under investigation and no one had been arrested. Police declined to identify the woman.
But Johnston said that based on those suspected components of a methamphetamine lab, police executed a search warrant of the womans home Friday and confiscated additional items believed to be used for drug activity.
The home was identified as 17 Poplar St., a short dead-end street.
The two-story home appeared neat and well-kept Friday afternoon, with a late-model car in the driveway. Poplar Street is in one of Springfields nicer neighborhoods, a short distance from The Commons, one of the towns parks and playgrounds.
Springfield police said in a news release that the woman showed police the suspected drug paraphernalia, which she had placed in the trunk of her car, prompting local police to call in the Vermont State Police and its clandestine lab, as well as the state Hazardous Materials Response Team.
Police said the home on Poplar Street was deemed safe after Fridays search and there were no hazards to either the home or the neighborhood.
Police said the woman was concerned about the activities of people who were staying with her, although police would not say what that relationship was.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Twenty-minute recipes from under the sea
Spiced Salmon with Mustard Sauce
A basic honey mustard adds the unexpected ginger and pepper notes of turmeric to make this dish different. Broiling leaves the salmon moist and tender and caramelizes the sauce slightly for additional flavor. Any kind of greens makes a great side―try kale cooked with hoisin sauce; chard sautéed with garlic, lemon juice, and pepper; or a spinach salad with red onions and vinaigrette.

Dear Editor,
A recent letter entitled "Democracy" by Martha Starkey contains some of the most misguided and factually incorrect statements on redistricting ever written. If her comments are representative of the knowledge of the population at large, it is quite easy to see why Obama won the 2012 election.
The first outrageous suggestion made by Mrs. Starkey is that many states, including Ohio, are ". . . moving the majority of voters into one or two districts and spreading the rest of the voters in districts throughout the state. . ." This claim is completely false.
Any redistricting plan can eventually come under the scrutiny of the courts. The Supreme Court in Baker v. Carr (1962) ruled that state congressional districts of unequal size were unconstitutional. It is ridiculous to believe that any state government would pack a majority, defined as fifty percent plus one, of voters into a single district. Such a deliberate plan would clearly violate the Baker decision and would be tossed by the courts immediately. Perhaps Mrs. Starkey is simply unaware of the mathematical definition of "majority"? Districts can vary considerably in terms of geographical size, but the fact remains that they must be relatively equal in terms of population.
The second ridiculous suggestion is that somehow this is a new tool or trick discovered and used by the Republican Party. Mrs. Starkey states: "These steps to disenfranchise voters are NOT being done by the President or even by the liberal Democrats, but by Republican state governments." It is not my purpose to discuss the political ethics of gerrymandering, but nevertheless, it has been a tool in use for centuries by both political parties. The term gerrymandering was named after a Democrat, Governor Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts. Furthermore, when any thinking person revisits the true history of gerrymandering, they will see several clear facts: for nearly a century after the Civil War, Democrats in the South used this tactic to purposely disenfranchise African American voters and maintain their stranglehold on power, both at the federal and state levels. As African Americans were brought more fully into the political system by numerous court decisions, Democrats still utilized this procedure to maintain their stranglehold on power in the House of Representatives. This would not be broken until the 1994 midterm congressional elections. Perhaps Mrs. Starkey should revisit and comment upon that truly sad and despicable history.

When I was a kid and we would travel to my father's province of Cavite for the town fiesta, we would always pay my grandmother's ancestral house a visit.
I would marvel at its thick and high entrance doors and would wonder why the ground floor was almost all in concrete and the piano was located upstairs, which was the part of the house almost all in wood.
My fantasies of the family's history and how it unfolded in their century-old residence would become even more vivid and embellished when I was told that the reason the doors were so high was that the first floor was used to hold horses and carriages.
Two of my grandmotherís sisters still live in that house, which up to now contains many old relics of the family's past. For those years that we would go there on a pilgrimage for the fiesta, my memories include climbing up to the balcony to watch the gilded procession; trying to stay still in my seat in the conjoined living and dining room while listening to the multitude of relatives talking to each other on the seats, the sofas, and the benches by the door; and I would especially remember trying out and sharing with my siblings and cousins the sweet cakes that my grandmothers prepared. These are already distant images because it must have been more than a decade since our last visit.
At home in the city, recalling those times, makes me realize how similar and different my own house is from my grandmother's. In Cavite, it seemed that even with the presence of doors and curtains, there were no barriers between family members – in contrast to the compartmentalized rooms we have in Manila. There is that soothing and relaxing mood of space and airiness in the ancestral residence that must have inspired greater openness between people. I myself admit that it is much easier to escape from my parents or from my siblings in the city since locked doors are more binding signals privacy. In the province, I feel less compelled to protect it.
The design of the Bahay na bato (Stone house) is not accidental. It reflects the culture of Filipinos. It shows how people value the company of family, where (almost) every activity is done together, if not beside each other, in a wide and spacious, common room. This is in contrast to the city (or at least in more westernized homes), where it is more common for family members to have their own television sets inside their rooms, where areas are separated into the den, the library, the living, and dining rooms.
Of course, many architects and interior designers encourage their clients to build uniquely Filipino homes – not just to suit the climate (with the use of wood and slats) – but also to promote and preserve a cultural legacy that is uniquely our own: one that has been influenced by the native rural house (the nipa hut), Spanish colonial architecture, and more importantly, by traditional values. If not for any of these reasons, I myself would live in such a house if only to always return to the feeling of home.

This is quite good. If you boil it in a lot of water, it will also be very watery and kind of lose its taste, but the taste itself is actually quite good. I think it might be good to "fry" them in a pan after softening them (maybe with other foods) to get rid of some of the water and give even more taste. I also like that it has a long shelf life. Will probably be buying again in the future.
And very versatile! Boil 10 minutes in vegeteable broth, drain and add to a frying pan on high heat for 5 minutes. Add seasoning and enjoy with pasta, in baked potato or pizza. The taste itself doesn`t taste much, but you can make it taste whatever you like with the seasoning of your choice. I also think the price is very reasonable! Highly recommended nuggets!
Why is this discontinued?
Posted by Reviewer3184754 on Sep 10, 2014
I'm so sad to see that this is discointinued, I really loved these, they gave you a lot more to chew on than regular tsp. If you're a vegan/vegetarian and miss the taste of meat, it was easy to make these look like and taste like chicken/pork. I really hope you'll bring them back :(
Who needs meat?!
Posted by 5597199085476398663 on Jun 04, 2014
In tacos or spaghetti this makes you forget what ground beef was. I use earth balance, and olive oil to give it that 'meaty' flavor, and the texture is great.
Will buy again
Posted by MentaPiperita on May 29, 2014
I made tacos using these nuggets instead of meat and they were delicious. I don't think the soy nuggets taste of anything, but if you boil them in broth and add spices, they turn out great. I fried them with onions after boiling and the result was very tasty. I will buy them again, they are so versatile and with a little seasoning they can be a fancy feast. However, they may absorb a little too much water, so I recommend frying or sautéing after boiling to improve the texture.

Listening to a motivational material is a good way to start your day.
This is especially true when the inspiring words came from an adorable grade-schooler, who dubbed himself "Kid President".
Donned in suit and tie, Kid President addressed the public with the message: Be awesome!
"The world needs you so stop being boring. Yeah, you! Boring is easy. Everybody can be boring whether you're good or not," he said.
The boy used basketball legend Michael Jordan as an example. He explained that if Jordan quit playing basketball in high school, there wouldn't be a "Space Jam" movie.
"What would be your Space Jam? What will you create to make the world awesome? Nothing, if you keep sitting there," he said.
The tiny pep talker poked fun at Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken". "I took the road less traveled and it hurt, man, really bad. Rocks, thorn, and glass," he said.
The boy also borrowed Journey's famous line "Don't stop believing". He reminded viewers to have a meaningful dream and strive hard to achieve it.
At the end of the video, the Kid President told viewers to share the video to anyone who need encouragement. "You've just been pep talked. Create something that will make the world awesome," he said.
The Kid President's video has been watched more than 1 million times on YouTube.

Adam Berk had a vision of creating an online library where neighbors could borrow tools and electronics from one another. Why buy a fancy camera you only needed to use once for a big trip? Why invest the money in physical tools for a home remodeling project if you are never going to need them again? Adam and his best friend Dave spent 5 years creating this utopian community, neighborrow, powered by a new form of currency. Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community. But they never achieved their vision.

But now that the dog days of Summer are here, with humidity and heat scoring off the charts, matte shadows and glistening skin work against each other and don't do you any favors. Luckily the solution is simple! Switch over to sugar shades! These are shimmery frosted shades of pink, white, taupe and silver and will get you through the final Summer months. There are all kinds of variations on how to apply them; you can do a single wash of color, or try this Pink Cut Crease paired with a Cat Eye! It's also nice because you can't really see the cut crease when the eyes are open but when you blink or look down, it's a gorgeous sweet surprise! Here's how: (more…)

Firestone Annexes Turner Commons Development
- published_in
- External Source
The Town zoned the property for regional retail and commercial land uses, which are consistent with Firestone's economic development policies, business enhancement programs and the Firestone Master Plan.
Firestone Mayor Chad Auer is excited for this development. "We have been working strategically with a number of developers in the area, and this is the first project in a series of upcoming developments west of Interstate 25 for Firestone," he said. "Each will bring much needed economic velocity to the area, provide jobs and increase options for consumers. This is another example of Firestone's commitment to thoughtful, visionary community development."
The Interstate 25 and Firestone Boulevard interchange is one of the busiest interchanges in northern Colorado. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, average daily traffic counts on Firestone Boulevard west of Interstate 25 are approximately 36,000 vehicles per day.
The Turner Commons development anticipates five key development lots, which are planned to include a sit-down restaurant, gas station with a convenience store, fast food restaurants and a hotel. This annexation is the first active commercial development west of Interstate 25 in Firestone.
Town Manager Wes LaVanchy said, "It's a tremendous opportunity to have such a potentially positive economic project in Firestone."
A specific processing and construction timeline for the project should be forthcoming in the near future.

A mother in Pleasant Grove, Utah, is furious with staff at the city's junior high school after she said they fed her daughter lunch out of a trash can.
Sierra Prince is a special needs student in eighth grade at Pleasant Grove Junior High School. While Wednesday was only her second day at school, she already wasn't looking forward to her third day.
"I don't even know if I want to go to school tomorrow at all," Prince said.
According to Prince, when she asked for a piece of pizza for lunch on Wednesday afternoon, she was told there was none left. However, after insisting she wanted pizza, a second kitchen employee pulled out what was left from the top of a trash can.
"I didn't really like the taste of it at all," Prince said. "It was nasty."
A diabetic with learning disabilities, Prince explained she felt she had to listen to her school-appointed aid and the staff.
"I didn't want to eat it, but I was dosed for pizza anyway because I'm diabetic. So, I had to eat it," Prince said.
The decision by the school isn't sitting well with Prince's mother, who learned about the incident when her daughter returned from school.
Mother Nicole Cordoba said, "How could that happen to a child? What adult makes that decision? It's common sense: We don't eat out of trash cans."
After Cordoba complained to the Alpine School District on Wednesday afternoon, the district's nutrition services director sent an email to school employees. Cordoba gave FOX 13 News a copy.
In part, the director said, "This was totally unacceptable. Your employee needs a reprimand and a discipline warning issued immediately. We never serve food that has been placed in a garbage can."
According to a school district spokesman, a lunch manager has been placed on administrative leave, as a result of what happened. The district plans to investigate the incident further.
"Sierra can't make her own decisions on what she eats," Cordoba said. "That's why they hired the helper. Not only one person made the decision for Sierra to eat out of the trash, three adults did."
Cordoba has a meeting scheduled with the junior high's principal and other district employees on Thursday afternoon.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY—This winter the weather has unleashed a stultifying array of extremes, leaving people to wonder what is coming next. In high school basketball there can also be a great unpredictability of outcomes from game to game or season to season. That said, there is nonetheless a predictable constancy in the sport and it goes like this: great teams will coalesce, work hard and find a way to win. And as is the case each year by this point in the season, the elite teams are making their presence felt.
First and foremost among Sullivan County teams are the 7-0 (1-0 OCIAA) Tri-Valley Lady Bears. With their dominating 62-35 win over Chester on January 10 in their first league game of the season, Tri-Valley now sits alone atop Division V, as rivals Chester, Tuxedo and Seward already have one league loss apiece. Tri-Valley lost to Chester three times last season, including a season-ending devastating overtime loss in the Section IX Class C semifinals as they were slain by then sophomore Kathryn Jankalunas' three-pointer. But in its first clash of this season Tri-Valley turned the tables on its nemesis in commanding fashion. Propelled by senior guard Katlynn Greffrath's 22 points and abetted by 11 points from junior Caroline Martin and 10 from senior Sabrena Smith, Tri-Valley, now coached by Jason Closs, notched the key league in a season already made notable by victories over Class AA Minisink Valley and Middletown. For more on the tale of the iconic clash with Chester, read "On A Mission," on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1]. For the Sullivan West boys, four straight losses to start their season seemed foreboding indeed, but the Bulldogs appeared to be finding their bark as they vanquished Division IV rival Liberty 66-54. The final score in no way reflects the Westies' complete dominance of the normally competitive Indians. The Dawgs made it two victories in a row with a 63-51 win over Oxford in the Walton Tournament Consolation game. Looking to continue their northerly journey, Sullivan West hosted talented Class D Eldred on January 13 but came up short 60-50 as a furious late rally stalled that had slashed a one-time 17-point Eldred lead to six with 3:01 remaining. The Yellow Jackets responded by marshaling eight straight points to widen the gulf before Sullivan West could score again. By then the damage was irrevocable. Led by senior guard Bray Curreri's 20 points, along with 15 from Dave Powers and 11 from Jake Haller, Eldred used an effective two-three zone, its height and great wingspan to stymie Sullivan West from mounting a consistent offensive surge. The Bulldogs did have a great third quarter as they held Eldred to a mere five points while scoring 10 of their own. Sullivan West was led by senior Chance Bibbo, who netted 18. Junior Mark Castro had 15 points. Sullivan West fell to 2-5. The Bulldogs looked to avenge a season opening lopsided loss to Monticello as they hosted the Monties on January 15. On January 17 they will face Fallsburg in a key league matchup. They are currently 1-1 in the league. For its part, Eldred improved to 4-2. Thus far, the feisty Yellow Jackets have marshaled wins over Tuxedo, Roscoe, and Family School. Their only losses came against Class C leader Seward and Class A Port Jervis.
