Mellinda Abbott, formerly of Billerica, has expanded her Lexington-based accounting business to a storefront at 1310 Main St. (Route 38) in Tewksbury. Abbott is a former accounting manager at Wang Global. SUN / Ryan McBride

TEWKSBURY -- As a young accounting professional, she worked alongside the likes of Joe Tucci and Frank Caine at Wang Global, helping to bring the one-time tech darling out of its 1992 bankruptcy and into the waiting arms of its eventual suitor, Getronics N.V., seven years later.

Two decades later, Mellinda Abbott thrives by serving small businesses from her Lexington-based boutique firm, which recently opened a second office at 1310 Main St. (Route 38) in Tewksbury.

And she remembers exactly when it was time to run her own shop.

"My first day back from maternity leave was 9/11," she said during a recent interview at her Tewksbury office. "I had been working for a small accounting firm and I realized, 'There's no mystery to this,' and that it was time to hang my own shingle."

So as to save on overhead (and make use of her husband's construction skills), Abbott opened her first office at a building the couple owned in Lexington. They deployed the same strategy in Tewksbury late last fall, after a salon in the building they owned closed.

"I really wanted to come to this community," she said. "And I founded this practice because I want to keep accounting simple and straightforward for our clients."

Abbott, whose firm comprises three full-timers and four part-time employees, said she sees herself not just as an accountant, or even an auditor ("although I am an auditor at heart"), but as a small-business adviser.

"Clients should feel able to do what they are supposed to do, which is grow their business," she said.

A UK garage music example (here, Visions by Ascent). It contains elements of the speed garage and 2 step garage sub-genres. Pay attention to the drum at 0:44 and the bassline at 2:28.

UK garage (also known as UKG) is a genre of electronic music originating from England in the early 1990s. The genre usually features a distinctive syncopated 4/4 percussive rhythm with 'shuffling' hi-hats and beat-skipping kick drums. Garage tracks also commonly feature 'chopped up' and time-shifted or pitch-shifted vocal samples complementing the underlying rhythmic structure at a tempo usually around 128 to 140 BPM. UK garage was largely subsumed into other styles of music and production in the mid-2000s, including dubstep, bassline and grime. The decline of UK garage during the mid-2000s saw the birth of UK funky, which is closely related.

The evolution of house music in the UK in the mid-1990s led to the term, as previously coined by the Paradise Garage DJs, being applied to a new form of music also known as speed garage. Its originator is widely recognised to be Todd Edwards, the American house and garage producer, also known as Todd "The God" Edwards. In the early nineties, Edwards began to start remixing more soulful house records and incorporating more time-shifts and vocal samples than normal house records, whilst still living in the US. However, it was not until DJ EZ, the North London DJ, acquired one of Edwards' tracks and played it at a faster tempo in a nightclub in Greenwich, that the music genre really took off.

In the late nineties, the term "UK garage" was settled upon by the scene. This style is now frequently combined with other forms of music like soul, rap, reggae, ragga and R&B, all broadly filed under the description of urban music. The pronunciation of UK garage uses UK // GARR-ij, rather than US // g-rahzh.[1]

Artists such as Grant Nelson, M.J. Cole, Artful Dodger, Jaimeson, So Solid Crew, Heartless Crew, The Streets, Shanks & Bigfoot, DJ Luck & MC Neat, Sunship (Ceri Evans), Oxide and Neutrino and numerous others have made garage music mainstream in the UK, whilst Dizzee Rascal, Wiley and Kano's arrival raised the profile of grime, an offshoot of garage.

Cole once stated, "London is a multicultural city... it's like a melting pot of young people, and that's reflected in the music of UK garage".[2]

Notable female singers who have had the genre incorporated into their songs include Lisa Maffia, Ms. Dynamite, Kele Le Roc, Shola Ama, Sweet Female Attitude and Mis-Teeq.

"'Garage' is considered a mangled term in dance music. The term derives from the Paradise Garage itself, but it has meant so many different things to so many different people that unless you're talking about a specific time and place, it is virtually meaningless. Part of the reason for this confusion (aside from various journalistic misunderstandings and industry misappropriations) is that the range of music played at the garage was so broad. The music we now call 'garage' has evolved from only a small part of the club's wildly eclectic soundtrack."

-- Frank Broughton/Bill Brewster in Last Night A DJ Saved My Life

In the UK, where jungle was very popular at the time, garage was played in a second room at jungle events. After jungle's peak in cultural significance, it had turned towards a harsher, more techstep influenced sound, driving away dancers, predominantly women. Escaping the 170bpm jungle basslines, the garage rooms had a much more sensual and soulful sound at 130bpm.[3]

Garages enhance home appearance and provide storage for cars and other items. Building a garage requires planning, whether with a newly constructed home or as an addition. Deciding on the size of a garage involves answering some basic questions and taking measurements. A larger-than-needed garage takes up available space on your land, while a garage built too small limits your uses. Proper planning beforehand can ensure that you build a garage that suits your needs.

Change is at the heart of the home at 217 Grandview Ave. on Mt. Washington.

A building that was a duplex has become a one-family home. A dining room now is a bedroom. A bedroom has been transformed into dressing area and walk-in closet. Four feet have been added to a dining room by extending an outside wall.

Even the stairs leading to the second-floor family room have been redesigned so the head and neck of a 16-foot-tall giraffe can poke upstairs.

Most important, said owner Marie Mulloney, it is an upside down house. The sleeping-private area is on the first floor, separated from the entrance by a large foyer. The entertaining area, which usually is on ground level, is on the second floor and is dominated by an impressive view of the city.

Very often you call these kind of rooms Florida rooms, but we think it should be called a Pittsburgh room, Mulloney said, motioning to the view.

The house across the street from the Mt. Washington observation platforms is for sale for $999,000.

Mulloney and her late husband, Peter, began changing the home in 1978 and worked on it until 2002. He lived in it when it was a two-family home, but they were eager to change it once the opportunity arose.

It was work that altered the nature of the house by changing the function of rooms. Small changes were within the rooms as well.

Mulloney believes the home is about 100 years old, but said she has heard different estimates from architects, who believe it may be older. A century old or later, it is filled with small closets that have been changed in places.

One was in a bedroom when the home was a duplex. It now is a built-in buffet in a dining room. Another has been changed from a closet to a lighted dinnerware storage and display area.
