Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

A tragedy sheds light on a possible need for protection for truck drivers across the nation.

Following Mike Boeglin's murder, many in the trucking industry are supporting new legislation named in his honor.

Boeglin was killed during a robbery in Detroit over the summer.

New legislation would allow truckers to carry a concealed weapon in order to protect themselves and their cargo.

Right now, truckers may have a conceal and carry permit in one state, but that permit doesn't apply to every other state.

Conceal and carry laws can vary from state to state as well.

Mike's Law would allow truckers or other people employed in interstate commerce to apply for a federal gun permit.

That permit would allow them carry concealed firearms from one state to another, or through a state while on duty.

You can read the full proposal here: Americans Working in Interstate Commerce Protection Act, aka MIKE'S LAW."

The Nobu Hotel and Restaurant ribbon-cutting opening with chef Nobu Matsuhisa and business partner and actor Robert De Niro in Caesars Palace on Saturday, Feb. 2,2013.

Restaurant and hotel partners Robert De Niro and Nobu Matsuhisa from Caesars Palace have teamed up with Australian multimillionaire mogul James Packer to take over the 11-year abandoned K Club on the twin island of Antigua and Barbuda in the Caribbean.

In a $250 million deal, the resort once owned by Italian fashion designer Krizia will be restored to its former glory when Princess Diana used to visit with her young sons Princes William and Harry.

When I lived on nearby Jumby Bay in Antigua, I often visited. It was a super-luxurious, beautiful dream resort. Although now rundown, there has been no vandalism. Its on one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the world named Lady Diana Beach.

New Prime Minister Gaston Browne was so pleased with Robert and Nobus signed memorandum of agreement over the weekend that he appointed the actor a special economic envoy to attract even more investment to the Caribbean nation.

Robert is expected to sign the official contracts next month, with construction for the renovation and expansion underway before this time next year. Sources in Antigua tell me that Robert wants it to be the most environmentally and ecologically friendly resort in the world.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH With a roomful of residents watching Monday night, the citys Planning and Zoning Board unanimously denied a key request by developers of a proposed new beachfront hotel.

The developers of the planned 146-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott, planned on about a 1.5-acre site just north of the Breakers Restaurant and Lounge, had asked that the citys coastal construction setback line be moved an average of 75.5 feet to the east to allow for the construction of the hotel building, a swimming pool and a deck.

The City Commission will have the ultimate say on the request.

The request was one of three associated with the hotel and considered by the board in front of at least 200 people at the Brannon Center, with the majority attending being residents opposed to the project. Many were associated with the fast-growing New Smyrna Beach Citizens for Smart Growth, wearing red to show their solidarity and some carrying signs with the words High Density Hotel crossed out, while also declaring Stop the Madness.

Its just too big, too close and too wrong, Lillian Conrad, one of the members of the citizens group, said of the hotel.

City Planning Manager Gail Henrikson, who recommended against relocating the coastal construction setback line, said construction of habitable portions of any buildings have been prohibited east of the line since it was established in 1985.

Glenn Storch, an attorney representing the developers of the hotel, said the citys coastal construction setback line is flawed.

Taking someones rights to use their property based on a faulty line without scientific basis is arbitrary and capricious, and what that does is open yourself up to all kinds of problems, he told the board.

Henrikson said if the City Commission votes against the request to relocate the coastal construction setback line it would force developers to scale back the intensity of their development.

LAKEPORT, Calif. After months of construction and preparation, brothers Alex and Tim O'Meara are set to open their new brewery and restaurant this weekend.

O'Meara Bros. Brewing Co., located at 901 Bevins St., will celebrate its grand opening beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

Final preparations were still under way on Monday, as Tim O'Meara discussed the opening against the sound backdrop of power tools.

It seems like construction will never end, he said.

However, the tools at work on Monday were being used to install lights over the business' signage.

That's literally the last thing, he said.

The O'Mearas describe their new venture as a fusion of microbrewery and restaurant, featuring several beers brewed on site and a specially designed menu of pub grub.

Alex, 30, and Tim, 27, grew up in Upper Lake and later moved to the Bay Area to pursue careers.

Tim O'Meara has been a homebrewer for years while his brother has been in business. In recent years they returned home and decided to go into business together.

We've been interested in running a business like this for our whole lives, Tim O'Meara said.

Olly Murs pays himself a plumber's wage.

The 'Wrapped Up' singer is worth an estimated 5 million but pays himself the same salary as his pals after being scared by bankrupt pop stars on the reality television show 'The Big Reunion'.

He explained: "I've given myself a salary recently, because I think it's important. For the first two years I was like, 'Yeah I'll buy that and this. Mum, what do you want? I'll get it for you.'

"But then you watch shows like 'The Big Reunion' and it opens your eyes to realise that this can all go so quickly, and you've got to be wise with your money."

The 30-year-old star elaborated by saying he's thrilled with his life at the moment, so is terrified of losing his treasured possessions and friends.

He said: "My worst fear is losing everything. I've bought my own house, I've got a lovely car, I've got brilliant friends and family. If I lost all that it would be devastating and down to my stupidity."

Olly wants to ensure he stays down to earth and remains close to his friends who he met before finding fame, so hopes his salary will stop him from flashing his cash.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've got mates in different jobs to me, and they're not on the same amount of money as me. So I don't want to be like a big time Charlie. I've never been that kind of person, I always like us all to be on an equal playing field."

A Dundee plumber has become an internet sensation in less than a week after a video of him dancing was viewed over NINE MILLION times.

Mark Topen, 52, who is more commonly known as Toby, is a self-employed plumber who had taken a few minutes out of his day only to be caught by one of his colleagues dancing to a well-known Robert Miles track.

Since the video was put online on Thursday, it has been picked up by sites including The Lad Bible where over nine million people have seen it.

Ill admit that it was a bit embarrassing at first but I suppose that is what is funny about it and I can see that now, he said.

Its not something I would do all the time because it can be disrespectful to do it in peoples homes but this house was empty.

I definitely think that it helps that I have a character where I can get away with it.

Sometimes the job can be stressful, so its good to take the pressure off if you can.

As well as views, the video has racked up nearly a quarter of a million likes and been shared over 42,000 times on Facebook.

This new-found celebrity status is something Toby thinks is just unbelievable.

He said: Its been amazing and I have received so many calls and texts from people telling me they have seen it online.
