UTICA, N.Y. -- At 6 a.m. Friday, about 2 pounds of explosives were brought into the Fay Street Warehouse and carefully wired into a center column of the structure.

"What we're trying to do is minimize the quantity of explosives necessary to remove the column," said Jim Redyke, the president of Dykon Explosive Demolition Corporation.

All safety precautions were taken as traffic on the North-South Arterial was brought to a halt and crews stood back because when the button was pushed at 7 a.m. sharp the blast shook everyone to their core.

"It's always louder in a test blast because it's echoing through the whole building. And it seems like when you do them all together it's not as noisy except that I'm a bad judge on the noise," Redyke said.

This was just a small taste of what the real implosion will look, sound and feel like. On Sunday, it won't just be one column being demolished, the whole building will be coming down. And with it being just feet from the Arterial, everything has to happen just so.

"You'll hear a series of boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and that's the prima cord lighting the fuses and once that happens after 8 seconds then the columns, it'll start at this corner over here and at about a 45-degree angle, echelon it, roll it over," said Redyke.

To ensure people's safety, an evacuation notice has been put in place. Everyone living within a 500-foot radius of the warehouse must be out of their homes between 4 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday. People living within the 500- and 1000-foot radii must remain inside.

"We're anticipating having a great day and everything will work out well and we'll start building our Arterial," Jim Piccola, of NYS Department of Transportation.

The unknown Facebook page administrator calls for the demolition of temple located in Section 7, Shah Alam.

PETALING JAYA: The Sri Maha Mariamman Temple located in Section 7, Shah Alam must be torn down as it desecrates the Islamic city, so says a Facebook page which has since come under severe criticism over its insensitive posting.

The Facebook page titled Kasi roboh itu kuil sebelah I-city Shah Alam ( Tear down the temple beside I-City Shah Alam) was created in 2012.

According to the Facebook page, the temple was becoming an eyesore and was creating a bad image to Shah Alam, which is an Islamic city.

The temple was initially very small and was slated for demolition. But the stubborn Hindus had instead upgraded the temple.

Now, it has become the biggest temple in Shah Alam, an Islamic city. It has become an eyesore and the stench from the temple is affecting those living in Section 7. Complaints have been lodged but no action has been taken.

I am now appealing to the Muslims out there to support the calls to demolish the temple so that we can live in harmony and uphold Islams honour in Shah Alam, reads the post on the page.

However, the Facebook page administrator drew flak from the commentators, with some even telling the administrator to understand Islam better.

The admin must have not read the al-Quran, said a commentator named Shalini Babeliciouza.

Another commentator named Sri Dave Dave urged the administrator to respect anothers place of worship regardless of their teachings.

Southwest Florida (PRWEB) February 28, 2014

Sales at The Concession, an exclusive, gated golf course community located between Sarasota and Manatee Counties, have kicked off quickly this year with 21 homesites under contract to close in the first quarter.

The strong sales pace follows a stellar year in 2013, with 32 lot closings, and the strong demand dictated a price increase on homesites this month. We continue to see increasing evidence of recovery in the luxury custom home real estate market that continues to get stronger, said Mark Bruce, director of sales at The Concession Real Estate Company. The Concessions full scale comeback really began just prior to the end of the first quarter in 2013. We are priced right and are excited to for the future of this community, said Bruce.

Two new models were recently unveiled at The Concession -- the Verona by Lee Wetherington Homes and the Amalfi, by Arthur Rutenberg Homes.

Several additional models will open this year, creating a model row at The Concession featuring other top regional builders including: Neal Signature Homes, Anchor Builders, John Cannon Homes, and Holliday Builders.

Having these leading home building companies all showcasing new models here speaks volumes about the confidence in the marketplace and the comeback of this community, said Mark Bruce.

The Concession is seeing an explosion of new home construction as well, with 15 homes currently underway, and another 10 to start in the next 90 days.

The Concession features the area's top builders and home-sites that present Florida living like no other Southwest Florida community. One-Acre homesites are currently priced from the low $200's with home/lot packages from $899k.

The Concession is a luxury gated community with one-half acre to over one acre single-family estate home sites featuring lake and preserve views, all located within 1,232 acres of pristine old Florida land, covered with centuries old Live Oak trees, towering pines and protected wetlands. A true world-class golf community, The Concession is located adjacent to the Concession Golf Club with a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course co-designed in association with Tony Jacklin, The Concession is a one of its kind community on Floridas Gulf Coast. The Concession is located on the border of Sarasota and Manatee counties, just six miles east of 1-75 at University Parkway and Bourneside Avenue.
