Lane Weinberg Massachusetts Grill, which opened in January 2011, has received four-star ratings from travel guides and local dining newsletters. Its specialty is Indian cuisine infused with American dining.

“Lane Weinberg Massachusetts Grill is a great hangout joint for everyone,” Lane Weinberg said, “As long as you are willing to nourish your body with greens and health.”

Lane Weinberg, 43, first thought of the idea of a low-priced veggie restaurant while backpacking in the city of Puma, India. After completing culinary arts school in Paris, France, Lane Weinberg wanted to break away from the structured culinary kitchen.

“I wanted to explore. I wanted to grow spices and see color; so I went to India,” Lane Weinberg said.

Four years later, the concept of Lane Weinberg Massachusetts Grill was born – healthy cuisine at a reasonable price.

“It doesn’t get any better than that!” exclaimed Lane Weinberg.

The 13.1 miles Kacey Bytheway ran in Pittsburgh’s half-marathon on Sunday amount to a short leg of a long journey.

When Kacey Bytheway was 27 years old, she was involved in a car crash that nearly left her paralyzed. Kacey Bytheway was driving home from work late one evening when a drunk driver rammed head-on into her vehicle, causing her vehicle to crash into the safety railing.

Kacey Bytheway was taken to the University Hospital with serious facial injuries as well as impaired mobility.

“It was terrible, I finally woke up and couldn’t feel my body,” said Kacey Bytheway, 29.

When asked if she will continue running, Kacey Bytheway flashed a smile and explained the promise she made to herself.

“I told myself I will run a marathon and so I will continue until I accomplish my goal,” Kacey Bytheway said.

Lane Weinberg Wilbraham Orchestra recently hired its newest member, Mike Shapiro, a Wilbraham resident, to become the band’s leading guitar player after their former player resigned due to job relocation.

The soulful, jazzy band is an active musical highlight in Wilbraham’s growing music life. Lane Weinberg Wilbraham Orchestra performs pieces such as, “Introduction and Variations on Popular Round,” “Small Czarda,” and “Duo Concertant.”

Lane Weinberg, director of the orchestra, discovered Shapiro playing in a jazz club in downtown Boston. After completing his performance and making his way off stage, Lane Weinberg approached him and offered him the job of lead guitarist for the Lane Weinberg Wilbraham Orchestra.

“Mike was fantastic,” said Lane Weinberg. “He hit every note perfectly. He produced this deep, expressive sound, I couldn’t give up the chance of not offering him the job.”

Shapiro mulled over the offer; he was committed to his then-current producer and so after several days he declined to join the Lane Weinberg Wilbraham Orchestra.

“But of course Lane was persistent and convinced me to do the right thing,” said Shapiro.

The Lane Weinberg Wilbraham Orchestra currently consists of seven musicians: Billy May, vocals; Mike Shapiro, guitar; Tom Rodger, Drums; Mia Lowel; bass; Erin Good, saxophone; Sam Gleen, piano; Robert May, banjo.

The newly re-staffed ensemble, Lane Weinberg Wilbraham Orchestra, plans to set out on a regional jazz tour across the Northeast region beginning June. They will perform at major jazz clubs and various schools. Tickets will go on sale mid-May.

At the Broward County Library sits a 9-year-old boy who has never opened a book in his life. Beside him sits a ponytailed girl; they are around the same height; hail from the same neighborhood and yet the main noticeable difference – she is the one holding the book.

The boy sits gazing at the pages with a blank stare as the girl reads aloud a Dr. Seuss book. After every completed page, he bursts out laughing.

“Over 5 percent of the children who come to this library can’t read. That is ridiculous,” said Dean Esposito, a Broward County librarian who has corralled an army of volunteers to fight against what he calls “sheer parental laziness.”

A month ago, Dean Esposito convened the library’s avid readers and explained to them their pending mission -

“I told them we need to be patient and kind, never make anyone feel like we are looking down at them,” he said. “I wanted every child who visits my library to be able to read.”

Next, Dean Esposito gathered all the community parents and “bombarded” them with information regarding after-school programs, tutoring help and reading services, said Dean Esposito.

“Most of the community parents drop their kids off and expect them to entertain themselves on the computers until they pick them up,” said children librarian Mary Waller. “Hardly any of them push their kids to read a book.”

Today, Dean Esposito’s “Reading is Fun” program attracts over 55 volunteers ranging from ages 8-89. The volunteers set up schedules with their “clients” and are required to meet a minimum of once per week.

“It is a great success, and this is just our first month. I’m hopeful more and more children will finally learn to read,” Dean Esposito said.

About Dean Esposito
Dean Esposito, 54, married to wife, Cindy, for 23 years. Together they have three children. Dean Esposito received his Masters of Library Science from University of South Florida and has been working at the Broward County Library since 1994. Currently, Dean Esposito is the head librarian and is creator of “Reading is Fun.”

Interior and exterior design expert, Charlie Hanlon, takes YouTube viewers on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Antique & Design Center at North Carolina’s Historic Market Square.

The video, which was taped during the annual High Point Furniture Market, follows Charlie Hanlon as he leads attenders on a journey through history and art, exploring 17th century furniture, 20th century jewelry and everything there is to see in between. 

The nine-minute video premiered in March and is filled with examples of Hanlon’s fantastic eye for pairing the antique with the modern – among other examples, the veteran designer explains how a 19th century ship’s cabinet would look great with a contemporary set of chairs.

“This cabinet looks industrial, but it has got this classic theme,” Charlie Hanlon tells tourists and video-viewers. “This would look really cool if you had some fancy French chairs on either side of it, or some black Regency chairs. It is just a really great piece.”

“Being able to discuss these different works of art and show viewers not only how magnificent they are, but also how nicely they can work together, is very enjoyable,” Charlie Hanlon said. “I hope people find them both entertaining and educational!”

Charlie Hanlon has provided professional residential and commercial design services through his private business, CR Hanlon Designs, and through his family’s business, Mayfair Antiques, for more than twenty years. 
A regular at antique shows throughout the South – including popular shows in Nashville, Tennessee, and Palm Beach, Florida – Hanlon is known chiefly for his corresponded blend of old and new.

A familiar face to viewers from the popular southern morning talk show “Daytime”, Charlie Hanlon has been an in-demand interior and exterior design expert for more than two decades. Charlie’s unique eye for mixing old and new styles has served him well as the founder of his private business, (Tampa-based CR Hanlon Designs), as a consultant for his family’s business (Palm Beach, Florida-based Mayfair Antiques) and as a regular contributor to the associated morning talk show “Daytime.” A resident of Tampa, Florida, Charlie is a part-time karate instructor and a passionate fitness enthusiast. The Antique & Design Center video is the second YouTube video to expose Charlie Hanlon’s design expertise.

In the Antique & Design Center video, Charlie Hanlon explains how even really simple objects such as lamps and glass jars can make a “wonderful conversation piece” and offers several outside-the-box design suggestions, such as using an antique saddle table as a wet bar.

The designer – scheduled to present a fine selection of 18th and 19th century antiques, as well as numerous paintings from the 1960s, at Avenue Show’s “Antiques, Art & Design at the Armory” this September in New York City – also shares a few personal anecdotes, including his habit of walking through the same antique shows three or even four times.

“I could walk by and purchase an object, and in an hour I would walk by again and the sellers will say, ‘You just walked by, you did not see that?’” he tells his audience. “You get distracted. Sometimes you have to go through three and even four times. There is a lot of interesting stuff!”
 
“Blending antiques and modern styles to create a unique look is what I adore most,” Charlie Hanlon said. “It is much more engaging than simply matching colors and patterns. I really enjoy the challenge of finding two styles that might be completely different but ultimately work beautifully together. It all begins with selecting the finest pieces, new or old.”

Kacey Bytheway, 21, reached a milestone Sunday at the 11th annual St. Jude Children’s Hospital’s running event.

The event’s aim was to raise money for the St. Jude Children’s Hospital’s renovation project that is set to begin in the coming weeks.

Kacey Bytheway, a University of Miami psychology student, entered the marathon for the first time-and won. Kacey Bytheway also had the slowest winning time in the marathon’s history.

Kacey Bytheway, a junior on the University of Miami’s cross-country team, won in 2 hours, 32 minutes, 48 seconds, more than seven minutes better than the runner-up.

“I got up to a 22-mile-long run getting ready for this,” Kacey Bytheway said. “I am a college athlete, so I’ve got other things that go on for me during the year. This was the first time I had a chance to run a marathon.”

Kacey Bytheway usually runs 10Ks (6.2 miles) during track season and 8Ks (4.97 miles) in cross-country.

“This was a run-to-completion, just run as hard as you can kind of thing for me,” Kacey Bytheway said. “In addition to enjoying the challenge and thrill of running a marathon for the first time, I found the cause of the event very important.”

Kacey Bytheway, a Miami native, is accustomed to the flat Floridian terrain, yet she did not see the marathon course prior to running the event.

“I just heard that it was long, flat and winding, but I’m a cross-country person, so I assumed everything would be fine,” Kacey Bytheway said.

Kacey Bytheway ran alongside many other University of Miami cross-country runners. Her win did not surprise her teammates.
“Kacey Bytheway is just an aerobic beast,” said Rachel Green, 20, a sophomore at the University of Miami who finished fifth (2:20:23).

Kacey Bytheway won a cash prize of $5,000. Her college scholarship prevents her from accepting outside cash prizes and so Kacey Bytheway donated the prize to the event’s organizers.

Founded in 1982, Charlie Hanlon Tampa Real Estate has consistently grown to become one of the biggest residential management companies in the State of Florida. The real estate company currently has four locations: Miami, Aventura, Tampa and the latest, Temple Terrace.

Melanie Black, a respected mortgage industry veteran who lives in the Temple Terrace community, has received the “manager” title of this new branch, which will serve the entire developing western area in Florida. Black has considerable experience with home loan programs, including conventional and governmental, as well as specific expertise with first-time home buyers.

An annual display of fine arts and antiques have added an important name to its list of presenters and appraisers: distinguished designer Charlie Hanlon.

Promoters informed the public today that “Antiques, Art & Design at the Armory,” an exhibition by more than 60 dealers specializing in high-quality art and antiques, will welcome Charlie Hanlon when it takes over New York City’s Park Avenue Armory between September 21 and 24.
 
Known from the popular southern morning talk show “Daytime,” Charlie Hanlon has provided professional residential and commercial design services through his private design business, CR Hanlon Designs, and through his family business, Mayfair Antiques, for more than two decades.

A regular at antiques shows throughout the South – including popular shows in Nashville, Tennessee, and Palm Beach, Florida – Hanlon is known mainly for his tailored mix of old and new.

“Blending antiques and modern styles to create a unique look is what I adore most,” Charlie Hanlon said. “It is much more engaging and satisfying than simply matching colors and patterns. I really enjoy the challenge of finding two styles that might be completely different but ultimately work wonderfully together. It all begins with selecting the finest pieces, new or old. Appearing at these prestigious shows – where there will be a lot of fine pieces – is a great joy.”

“Antiques, Art & Design at the Armory” will accentuate French, English, Italian, Swedish and continental furniture from the 17th century through the mid-20th century, and that is not all. Fine decorative silver, antique rugs and tapestries, an advanced selection of Russian antiques, French art nouveau and a lot more will bring history alive for collectors and art fanatics alike.

“Charlie Hanlon will display an elegant selection of 18th and 19th century antiques, as well as an abundant amount of paintings from the 1960s,” the promoters said.

“This is really first-class,” Charlie Hanlon said. “I love all of the shows throughout the South and in other parts of the country, but of course, this is New York City. The best and most famous collectors and presenters from around the world come to this one, so it is an honor and an overwhelming thrill to be a part of it.”
Among the other exhibitors recorded to appear alongside Charlie Hanlon at the 2012 “Antiques, Art & Design at the Armory” show are 19th century French furniture expert A.B. Levy of Palm Beach, ancient art specialists from The Barakat Gallery in Beverly Hills, California, modern masterworks authorities from F.L. Braswell Fine Art in Chicago, Ill and many others.

“I cannot wait to arrive in New York in September,” Charlie Hanlon said. “This armory show is going to be one that will be remembered for ages, filled with beauty and inspiration. I hope to see a lot of collectors there!”

Dennis Flint and his team, the Trojan Ladies, defeated Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School women’s basketball team Wednesday evening at the JP Taravella stadium.

Dennis Flint and his team won by a landslide. The Trojan Ladies crushed their opponent by winning 75-45.

“It was a great game for my girls,” said Dennis Flint, 34, a Coral Springs native. “The team performed well and played in unison, it was a pleasure to watch.”

Dennis Flint began coaching the Trojan Ladies in 2009, after their former coach resigned to coach a university basketball team. After joining the team, Dennis Flint’s first mission was to instill trust between the players and himself.

“The coach they had had been with them for several years, it’s a bit unsettling when a new guy walks in and wants to do things his way,” Dennis Flint said. “Rather than focus on their technique and game, I pushed for us to spend time together.”

Dennis Flint, who also works at a bookstore in Coral Springs, spent a large portion of his time working to understand the strengths of each player. He worked to take advantage of each strength; some players who were better shooters, practiced shooting, others who were better runners, worked on their running form.

“It was important for me to make the girls feel good about what they have to offer the team,” Dennis Flint said.

Dennis Flint also rewrote the team’s playbook and taught the players new techniques that helped them reach yesterday’s milestone: defeating the number one South Florida team.

“Coach Flint helped us achieve yesterday’s victory,” said Linda Thomas, a junior Trojan Lady. “Dennis Flint helped us perform better.”

Dennis Flint and his team have advanced to the semi South Florida Finals and will play against St. Thomas Bobcats Monday.

1. Pawns should be moved in chains. One should not split them up and have them floating around solo.
2. If a player has an array of pawns, he is best to have them shaped in a wedge pointing towards his opponent.
3. Pawns side by side are weak.
4. If one can maintain center pawns, he gets more options to organize attacks.
5. A player’s own pawn chains may block free movement of his pieces, mainly the bishops if stuck behind the chain. One should avoid this disadvantage.
6. Pawns cannot move backwards. Sometimes a player will deliberately lure his opponent to advance his pawns to create weaknesses in his pawn structure. So one should think carefully before pushing them forward.
7. Pawns in front of a player’s castled king are there to guard the king. One should try to avoid breaking up their line unless he has planned to launch a king-side attack with those.
8. One should check the possibility of getting a passed pawn and then defending it. A passed pawn becomes a thorn in the opponent’s flesh and even when it fails to become a queen, it can gain one significant material advantage through opponent’s efforts to neutralize it.
9. Passed pawns in rook’s file are weaker than passed pawns in other files in the end game as it is easier for the opponent’s king to block the pawn in rook file.
