Published author Scott Tucker announced his plans to create a free “Little Library” in his front yard. Home and Recreation to cover the library unveiling and interview Tucker.

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/05/2015 -- Home and Recreation, a website for anybody interested in exercise and home decoration news, will feature the unveiling of Scott Tucker's new library in an upcoming article. The "Little Library" is expected to be unveiled this November in Atlanta, GA.

"This new idea is spreading, people are building these little libraries everywhere it's inspiring," says Home and Recreation contributor Bill Hasting. "And it is really going to make a difference in the neighborhood. Tucker is brilliant for trying this out in his own front yard, where he can make a change in the world that he can be witness to."

The library, which displays books within a clear plexiglass walled cabinet, will be open from 9am to 9pm 365 days a year. It is free to visit and free for anyone to come and take a book right from the library. Readers can leave a book if they choose but are not required to when taking a book.

"Books are rented on an honor system and not required to be returned in any specific amount of time," says Tucker. "This is really what messed me up about traditional libraries, the return time was always an unrealistic goal for me. When I set this library up I want people to know they can take any book and keep it for as long as they need it, and I know some won't come back but that's okay."

Tucker will be featured at the unveiling of his "Little Library" this November on the Home and Recreation blog. More information will be released on the location of the library with directions and contact information after the unveiling.

Botanical garden builder Scott Tucker will host a gardening workshop for kids next spring in Austin, TX. Home and Recreation will present the event live on their website with bonus small gardening DIY projects.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/21/2015 -- Home and Recreation, a website for wholesome healthy family and home maintenance, will live stream an upcoming kid's gardening workshop in Austin, TX. The workshop will be hosted by gardening expert Scott Tucker, and aims to educate children on how they can help in the upkeep of existing gardens.

"We love workshops like this where the children are spotlighted for education," says Home and Recreation contributor Bertie Chang. "It is important to include children in outdoors happenings of adults, it helps them build the foundation of an active lifestyle. To combat childhood boredom and obesity, workshops like this are crucial in boosting what parents are usually doing on their own."

Tucker has been gardening at home and professionally building botanical gardens for the past 15 years. He specializes in the care and growth of existing plants and local species of flowers, vines, and bushes.

"Through my professional gardening business I have been unintentionally teaching for 15 years," says Tucker. "Of course I did not realize for some time that I could hold workshops outside of the normal day to day work I do. This course for children will help with more than just the local backyard gardens, I think it will help get the whole family out of the house."

The kids gardening workshop will show parent's how to include their children above the age of five in the maintenance of backyard and greenhouse gardens. Participants of the workshop will be educated on safe garden tools, safe fertilizers, and safe plants for use with kids. Home and Recreation will stream the two hour long workshop without interruption on their website.

Bonus small DIY kids garden projects will be published after the completion of the workshop.

Environmental activist Scott Tucker announces a proposed clean water summer initiative. Home and Recreation will feature the initiative, share recent water cleanliness stats, and interview Tucker.

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/08/2015 -- Home And Recreation, the website for wholesome activities and interesting household trends, will spotlight Scott Tucker's new "Clean Water Initiative." The initiative, which is proposed to take place this summer, will involve the residents of Olympia, WA.

"Tucker's announcement of a proposed city-wide clean water initiative is a great summer project," says Home and Recreation editor Jackie Hamilton. "The proposed public health ordinance effects metropolitan areas throughout the central region of Olympia. Tucker created the initiative to help residents adhere to clean water guidelines set by the federal government."

The "Clean Water Initiative" proposes that residents help monitor open sewers and rain runoff which pollutes the groundwater by contributing to the creation of bacteria in the water table. Sewers and runoff are a problem in during the warmer and drier weather of summer months. Tucker believes that the proposed initiative will prevent Olympia residents from dumping down the drain and will reduce bacteria levels around metropolitan areas.

"This is just another ground level grassroots project to help the environment," says Tucker. "There are not enough state and city staff who are responsible for monitoring unauthorized waste disposal and enforcing measures related to public safety and environmental concerns. I think the public can help monitor and control these situations on a volunteer basis, and that could really make a difference."

Tucker recommends that participants add their name to the registry of volunteer clean water monitors on his website but registration is not required to participate in the clean water project. Home and Recreation will feature Tucker's proposed initiative next month.

"There is no reason to feed yourself well and to give your cat normal awful cat food," says Home and Recreation writer Jeremy Wren. "The average cat owner is probably trying to watch their weight and eat pretty healthy most days, why shouldn't cats. Scott Tucker is trying to break the barrier of how people treat their cats."

Round Rock, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/29/2015 -- Contractor Scott Tucker will be developing a new innovative daycare facility in Olympia, WA. The new building will be equipped with advanced technology, the project fueled by Tucker's own high tech safety designs. The daycare will be fully integrated online, parents will have access to web-cams and photo updates on request.

"I'm surprised no one has thought of this before," says Albert Pike, corespondent for Home and Recreation. "I mean its hard enough to go to a 9-5 job day in and day out, much more so when you have young children and feel as if your missing out on the best years of their lives."

The daycare will be built by Scott Tucker with local contractors contributing work to developing the shell of the daycare. The security systems that will be installed have been designed by Tucker with technology manufactured in the United States exclusively.

"I have a vision of providing hard working parents with the peace of mind they deserve," says Tucker. "I'm a father myself, and the biggest worry for me when it came to child care was if my children were being treated the way I would treat them."

Tucker's new daycare center uses high quality resolution web-cams and gigabit internet connections to connect technology and family. The daycare center is scheduled to be open for business by the summer of 2015.

"I'm excited about this new project and happy to be working to cover a story that brings families together," says Pike. "I think Mr. Tucker's concept is innovative and brilliant. People will line up to enroll their kids in this new modern child care system. I mean, who wouldn't? I work from my office all day, and I miss my kids."

Scott Tucker will be interviewed by Home and Recreation in an upcoming article concerning the development. The website will publish photos of the development once the project is complete.

Roofing installation specialist Scott Tucker founds new contracting company. Home and Recreation is featuring the new company in an approaching entrepreneur showcase.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/24/2015 -- Engineer and construction specialist Scott Tucker recently announced that he will open a contracting business specializing in roofing and gutters. The new business, "Roofing and Gutters, Inc", will be operating out of northern Illinois, details will be published through Home and Recreation.

"I've done all kind of home remodeling since I was a teenager," says Scott Tucker. "But the thing that I really am drawn to and have chose to specialize in is roofing and gutters. There have been some other guys I've worked with over the years and they thought it was the right time for a new roofer in our area."

The company has drawn interest prior to the Home and Recreation spotlight publication, and has received some inquiries for potential jobs that will start in coming weeks. Tucker will invest in marketing efforts to build the business quickly, rather than relying solely on the word of mouth advertising.

"Previous employers that he has done roof work for relied entirely on word of mouth to grow their businesses," says Christina Brown, staff writer at Home and Recreation. "Word of mouth is definitely an important part of being a contractor, but it leaves a lot of opportunities on the table. Tucker wants to get the word out there that He is an experienced roofer and that he runs a professional crew. Pretty soon they will have a website and a video channel and a presence on all of the typical social media outlets."

"Roofing and Gutters, Inc" will focus on roofing work and additionally the company will be open to bidding on other jobs. The flexibility of Tucker's new company will allow homeowners remodeling to use Tucker as their sole contractor if they prefer.

"At this point, my goal is not to get into general contracting," commented Scott Tucker. "But I do know many people in the industry and I am definitely willing to work with a homeowner if they feel most comfortable with me handling that side of things."

"Roofing and Gutters, Inc", the newly founded home remodeling company by Scott Tucker, will be featured in an upcoming Home and Recreation publication after the company officially begins business this spring.

Definitely looking forward to the Home and Recreation review to see what they think."

"Got Goat Cheese" depicts through descriptions and diagrams, what it is like to be a goat herder and cheese maker. The book details how Tucker and other farmers obtain goats and begin building a herd, how they milk the goats, and how cheese production is done. Explanations of different goat breeds and their suitability for different cheese making situations are provided in a glossary.

"When you have the experience and you get in rhythm with the herd, goat herding is really very simple according to ST," says Brandy McNeil, staff researcher at Home and Recreation. "We think the world of goat herding and cheese making can seem extremely complex. I'm hoping that ST book gets a lot of people past the initial hurdles of becoming a successful goat herders and cheese makers."

The readability and simple instructions are combined with a FAQ section within the book to give readers the best chance for successful application.

Readers of this eBook discover how to stage their home with intention to sell, and create a "no place like home" feeling and at the same time stand out from the crowd in a competitive home buyers' market. Readers will learn how to create an ambiance where potential buyers look at their home, fall in love and picture themselves living in it.

Home and Recreation to feature AMG Services newly published dance app, DanceDancePro.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2014 -- HomeAndRecreation.org, a healthy living and home recreation blog, has published an article detailing a new dance app developed by home entertainment firm, AMG Services. The app is called Dance Dance Pro, and provides users with simple, memorable dance steps and also records the user's progress.

The app has been developed to help interested individuals learn new dance steps without using a human dance instructor. Dance Dance Pro will help the growing number of people whose daily schedules are so cramped that they do not have time to go to the gym for cardio exercises, dance, or aerobics. The app provides users with a more efficient and fun filled way to train and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

"It doesn't take a genius to comprehend that high cost of living is putting so much pressure on ordinary citizens. Some combine two to three jobs in order to cope with the economic pressures. This lot doesn't get time to exercise yet many of them are in jobs that don't involve them physically," explains Tom Silva, HomeAndRecreation.org content developer. "This new app's approach is to allow this group to exercise in a fun way, through dance."

Millions of people across the globe die as a result of diseases associated with sedentary lives. While some have no sound reasons why they do not exercise, a majority are associated with pressures of work. Dance Dance Pro by AMG Services therefore makes it possible for one to easily exercise whether at home or at work during breaks.

HomeAndRecreation.org will publish a "how to" guide for Dance Dance Pro, along with screenshots of the app in action and an interview with AMG Services' Drew Dayton, who developed the app.

The app will be selling at a small fee of $20 and will be available for download on several online stores. AMG Services will also be providing users with unlimited support within 1 month after the release. The app also comes accompanied with a detailed yet easy to understand manual.

HomeAndRecreation.Org recognizes the community created by the "4th Tuesday Book Club," a reading group organized by Margie Scott Tucker. The group meets monthly at the oldest independent book store in Palo Alto.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/28/2014 -- HomeAndRecreation.org, a website focused on all aspects of American living, recently featured Margie Scott Tucker's "4th Tues Book Club," a community group of bibliophiles that meets at Books, Inc. to discuss modern works of fiction.

"I was so thrilled to learn more about Margie's '4th Tuesday Book Club,'" said Jonas Spacey, recreation editor for Home And Recreation. "This book club is a phenomenal example of a smart, community driven activity that more of us should be participating in. A group like this makes lives of everyone involved more fulfilling."

The club, which meets at 7 PM on the fourth Tuesday of every month at Books, Inc, is a long-running book club which discusses mostly fiction with some relevant non-fiction choices. Margie Scott Tucker, co-owner of Books, Inc, leads the discussion.

"We've read so many books over the years, and hopefully that has affected our members in great, unknowable ways," says Tucker. "Reading is a vital part of living, so our little club really meshes with Home And Recreation's mission of highlighting ways of making living better."

Home And Recreation profiles the club, Margie's loving influence, and the laid-back atmosphere that is sometimes missing from book clubs. Margie chooses the featured book, leads the discussion, and moderates the meeting, which ensures that no one person takes over the conversation, and to create a safe space for more shy readers to talk about the chosen book.

"A lot of book clubs fall victim to a pecking order, and don't encourage every reader to speak their mind," says Spacey. "That's why 4th Tuesday is so special. Well, that's only one of the reasons. The curated monthly choices are also pretty phenomenal – but what else would you expect from a bookstore owner? She has her ear to the ground, so it's easy for Margie to pick a winner every month."

Home and Recreation praises Scott Tucker for bringing his community together through comedy.

Deleware, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/08/2014 -- New improv comedy classes by Scott Tucker were announced recently by lifestyle website Home and Recreation. The classes create opportunities for young adults interested in acting or stage work, and those who dream of using their creativity to create something positive for their community. According to Home and Recreation, Tucker's goal is to give back to a community that has been good to him and his family.

"His work as a high school teacher has shown him how easily kids can slip through the cracks on the street of Detroit," said Home and Recreation contributor Stanley Schwartz, "and he is determined to make a difference through the comedy improv classes."

At age 60, retired high school math teacher Scott Tucker finally decided to pursue a long time dream to become a teacher of comedy. Tucker draws upon the skills he developed as an instructor, as well as his years of experience in open mic nights at different comedy bars across town.

"Tucker's comedy is strange mixture of slapstick and surreal," said Stanley Schwartz of Home And Recreation. Schwartz commented further on Tucker's comedy style, "To be honest, not everyone at Home And Recreation completely gets Scott Tucker's comedy, but we all respect the positive impact these classes will have on the community, and that's why we're proud to feature him on the site."

The new improv classes will train future comedians and bring together those interested in organizing an improve troupe. Part of the lessons includes handling reaction time, slapstick, and coming up with great retorts. From his days at the high school where he taught, many of the kids have now grown up and remember him well. His classes accept anyone from 19 to 65 and his current list of comedy students includes his old school students and co-workers.

Currently, the improv classes are without a name, but will be named soon by the creative individuals supporting the endeavor.

According to Stanley Schwartz, an editor of Home and Recreation, "Scott Tucker is working with members of the classes to come up with a name that would represent the collective efforts of everyone while remaining true to its objective of giving back to the community."

Fees for the improv classes are being offered on a sliding scale to insure that no one is left out and as many people as possible will have a chance to participate.

Home And Recreation reviews and recommends table top adventure game Bible Times Family Fun by Scott Tucker.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/11/2013 -- A recent post by family themed website Home And Recreation introduces a new game by Scott Tucker entitled "Bible Times Family Fun". The game is introduced as an alternative to more traditional board games like Candyland and Monopoly.

"We want to encourage families to spend more time together and we think that playing games is a great way for families to bond," said Shelley Clarke, an editor for Home and Recreation.

According to Clarke, editors for Home and Recreation were attracted to Scott Tucker's new game because it break's out of the mold of what most people expect from tabletop games, while helping to teach traditional biblical values. The recent article describes Bible Times Family Fun as a role-playing adventure game with more structure than fantasy based role-playing games.

"There are a few problems with popular role-playing games that definitely keep them off the pages of Home And Recreation," said Shelley Clarke. "First, those games are very difficult for younger members of the family to understand and enjoy. Second, because those games have little structure, you can't guarantee that playing will help to reinforce any valuable lessons that parent's might have in mind."

The editors of Home And Recreation say that Scott Tucker avoided the problems associated with fantasy games by incorporating structural elements such as Bible trivia that keep role-playing on track and guide the adventure along so younger players can keep up without becoming confused.

Home And Recreation published the recent story with the hope that they could create interest in the upcoming free version of the Bible Times Family Fun to be released online. The free version will include all of the necessary materials for the game for download, allowing players to print them out and play for free with their friends and family.

The online materials for Scott Tucker's game will be available through a link to be published in an upcoming Home and Recreation article.

"We were happy to receive an early version of the game and get to test it out," stated Clarke, "It's a win-win-win scenario for us because Tucker gets some promotion for his work, our readers get to learn about a fun game, and we get readers coming back to the site to find out when and where they can get their free version of the game."
