Volunteerism in Turkey took important step forward on April, as 22 participants got together in Ankara to establish a first ever National Volunteering Committee in the country.
New Horizons, May 2013 - The National Volunteering Committee currently consist of 17 organisations and 5 individual members representing civil society, the government and the UN and covers number of thematic fields such as education, youth, environment and development.
This variety of members intends to reflect the nature of volunteering itself, which touches all sectors and levels of the society.
The Committee will be a strategic, advisory body that supports the recognition, strengthening and enhancement of volunteerism.
"A time to establish a collaborative committee was right. Across the field of volunteering, there is a shared sense of challenges that should be addressed through collaboration. This committee will support creating an environment where that volunteering can flourish", says Ulla Gronlund from United Nations Volunteers, which kick-started the process to create the Committee last year.
As a first ever collaborative committee in the field of volunteering, National Volunteering Committee will take an important role in raising awareness about volunteering among citizens and policy makers alike, and about the contribution it makes to the quality and well-being of individuals and communities.
"Volunteering is an essential component of any strategy that recognizes that progress cannot be measured solely in terms of economic return. Such development strategies acknowledge that people are not motivated by self-interest alone but by their deeply held values and beliefs," Suat Ozcagdas from Social Innovation Centre explains to highlight why volunteering deserves nation-wide attention.
The next few months the Committee will concentrate on developing its internal functioning and strategic plan for the next couple of years.
"We want to be inclusive though, and have therefore reserved couple of empty seats for possible other organisations to join. They can do so until June", welcomes Hatice Kapusuz from Civil Society Development Centre.
Founding members of National Volunteering Committee:
Community Volunteer Foundation, Civil Society Development Centre, Association of Kırıkkaleli Businessmen and Administrators, Turkish Red Crescent Society, Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion For Reforestation and The Protection of Natural Habitats, Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey, Center For Social Innovation, Corporate Volunteer Association, You Got the Life Youth Academy Association, Habitat Center for Development and Governance, Labor and Social Security Research and Development Center, Association for Supporting Contemporary Life, Turkey Charity Association, Türkiye Yardım Sevenler Derneği Zonguldak Şubesi. Third Sector Foundation of Turkey, Turkish National Agency, Ministry of Youth and Sports, United Nations Volunteers and Aydın Çetin, A. Duygu Fendal, Hülya Denizalp, Gelnta Achmetoglou, Timur Timothy Tiryaki

Audi TT: A Concept Made Real
From concept to production, almost unchanged.
By October 21, 2013 / Photos by Audi
In the mid-Nineties, Audi's TT went from sketch to production with minor tweaks. In the process, it ushered in a new era for concept cars.
Concepts have since been more grounded in reality, and likewise, engineers have expanded what's possible to produce.
The bad side of this? Modern concepts are rarely flights of fancy. On the upside, there's less disappointment when the production cars hit the showrooms.

Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°F. Place rimmed baking sheet in bottom of oven to catch spills. Place sheet of parchment paper on work surface; lightly flour parchment. Place dough disk on parchment; sprinkle very lightly with flour. Cover with another sheet of parchment; roll to 9-inch round. Remove top parchment; sprinkle oats evenly over crust. Cover again with top parchment; roll to 12-inch round, rolling oats into crust. Remove top parchment. Using bottom parchment as aid, invert crust, oat side down, into 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Remove parchment. Press crust gently into pie dish. Turn dough overhang under, forming high-standing rim 1/2 inch above sides of dish. Crimp edges.
Toss all ingredients in large bowl. Let stand while preparing topping.
Blend first 6 ingredients in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, blend until moist dough forms (mixture will resemble wet sand). Add oats; using on/off turns, mix briefly, leaving half of oats whole. Stir filling; transfer to crust, mounding in center. Sprinkle topping evenly over.
Bake pie until topping is golden, about 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until apples are tender when pierced with small sharp knife, covering pie loosely with foil if topping and crust are browning too quickly, about 1 hour longer. Cool pie on rack until slightly warm, at least 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

LOS ANGELES – Steven Tyler says he's exiting American Idol to put rock 'n' roll first.
Tyler said he's leaving the show after two seasons to rededicate himself to Aerosmith, the band he fronts. The rock star said he loved every minute on the hit Fox singing contest but added, it's time to bring rock back.
Tyler's departure leaves original judge Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez, but the singer-actress's future with the show is cloudy.
In an interview with The Associated Press as the news about Tyler broke, Lopez said she was saddened to hear that he was leaving. She said that his departure definitely will play a role in her decision to stay and she is unsure if she is coming back either.

For years, the SR-71 "Blackbird" has been a shining example of the partnership between Lockheed Martin and the United States Air Force. Now, Jack Roush and Carroll Shelby, two of the Mustang world's biggest names, are collaborating together to create the next SR-71... from a 2011 Mustang.
Hands down, August 14th, 2010 will be one of the biggest days in CJ Pony Parts' 25 years of business! We are excited to announce our 10th annual CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY!
If you are like us, then you love everything Mustang and Ford Racing! That is why Ford Racing is offering you a FREE Ford Racing "Drive One" Crew t-shirt!
These authentic emblems were found only on the 2007-2008 Mustang Shelby GTs, and can not be purchased ANYWHERE, unless you actually own one of these cars. Ford Racing has donated a set to us to sell for charity.
Arguably the strongest and most fearsome version of the 2010 Ford Mustang, the 2010 Cobra Jet is a force to be reckoned with. Here is our recap of the most recent Cobra Jet model and all it has to offer.
The Mustang's debut in NASCAR has been anxiously anticipated ever since Ford announced the iconic pony car would be competing on the track last summer. This Friday at the Daytona International Speedway, Ford and NASCAR will make their long-awaited debut of the Ford Mustang as a replacement in some of this year's NASCAR Nationwide Series races.

Return to story
LEFT: With the touch of a button or iPad, shelves slide down from the kitchen cabinets.
This custom-built home is for Marine Sgt. John Peck, who lost his limbs to an IED in Afghanistan. On Monday, Peck received the keys to this mortgage-free home in Spotsylvania's Estates of Chancellorsville.
The spacious master bedroom provides outdoor access.
The master bath features a jetted tub and roll-in shower.
ABOVE: Peck cranks up the tunes, showing off his whole-house sound system.
Kristen Pruitt, co-owner of American Heritage Homes, explains features in the kitchen
John Peck is pretty much like any young man moving into his new place. He wants to crank up the tunes on his new sound system for his friends to hear, and also wants to see to it that the fridge gets filled with food and drink.
The difference in this case is that this young man is Marine Sgt. John Peck, who lost virtually all of his limbs to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan on May 24, 2010. He received his second Purple Heart, the first awarded after he suffered a brain injury in 2008 while serving in Iraq.
To help him live as independently as possible, a new smart home was built for him through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Veterans Administration. American Heritage Homes of Spotsylvania County built the home at cost, donating its construction services.
Peck, 27, who will live at the house with his mother, Lisa, received the keys--including the automatic push-button variety--during a poignant ceremony at the site earlier this week. It was also move-in day, with a moving van full of his belongings arriving the same afternoon.
"This was a jam-packed busy day," said Peck of the events Monday, which was, appropriately, the official observance of Veterans Day. "But I am so glad to be in here."
He said he was highly involved in the design of the home from the beginning, but first had to decide where the house was going to be. He's originally from Antioch, Ill.
"There were other places I considered--Illinois, California, New Hampshire," he said. "Virginia--I thought 'That's a nice place,' and it put me close to the hospitals [in both Richmond and Washington]."
He was also taken with the fact that the Estates of Chancellorsville subdivision is built on hallowed ground, and he has actual Union-built trenches on his property.
He said two things in particular allowed him to understand and help with the project.
"I learned CAD [computer assisted design] in high school and I'd designed a whole house," he said. "I've also always been able to pick up on technology pretty quickly."
American Heritage Homes co-owner Kristen Pruitt welcomed the opportunity to build the house, though it was unlike the luxury homes she's accustomed to building for her clients. She gave Spotsylvania code compliance officials credit for their cooperation and working through the learning curve that everyone shared.
"This house was built specifically for John," she said. "He has more of his left arm, so the faucets are to the left of the sink where he can reach them."
The kitchen looks like any nice, new kitchen, with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. But consider the typical-looking contemporary-style, dark-finished kitchen cabinets. They have motorized shelves that are lowered from within the cabinets to reachable countertop height, activated either by a hard-wired switch or a tap on Peck's iPad. They retract out of sight with another touch.
Other kitchen features follow universal design methods in line with Americans With Disabilities Act guidelines, with roll-under sink, range and counter space, and an elevated dishwasher that's easy to load and unload.
Peck is aided by the prostheses for which he was fitted, but they're not comfortable enough to wear all the time.
"John's needs are so individual. The house is designed to meet those needs and help him live independently," said Pruitt. "The house needs to help him, and we needed to think through the day that way."
The house is built on a slab, and totally free of steps or other barriers. Hardwood flooring is used throughout, making it easier for Peck to move about in his chair.
The master suite, even more than the kitchen, is designed to serve him and his needs. It has a separate HVAC zone, Pruitt explained, because Peck lacks the surface area of arms and legs that help keep the body cool. So the indoor environment needs to be kept generally cool, especially for sleeping.
As a backup in the event of a power outage, a natural gas whole-house generator is ready to kick in.
Between the master bathroom and bedroom are a doorless roll-in closet and separate shelving area for easy access. This and other shelving were built after measuring and observing Peck's reach from his chair.
Enter the bathroom, and the first thing that happens is the toilet seat cover lifts up via a motion sensor. But that is hardly all that this touchpad-operated toilet does. The $2,500 appliance doubles as a bidet, automatically leaving the user clean and dry.
There is also a jetted tub and a separate roll-in shower with body sprays from the walls and ceiling in addition to the standard shower head. Soon to be added is a teakwood bench built to fit the perimeter of the shower. Teak shrugs off standing water and damp conditions.
As in the kitchen, bathroom faucets are on the left, within Peck's reach to adjust the water flow and temperature.
The house is thoroughly wired, allowing Peck to activate the whole-house sound system, adjust heating and cooling--even monitor the exterior of his house with soffit-mounted cameras. And he can do these things with his iPad, whether he's in the living room or half a world away.
Another high-tech feature is the weather sensor on the roof of the oversized, two-car garage. If there's ice or snow, the sensor activates a heating system beneath the turnaround portion at the top of the driveway, allowing Peck to maneuver his specially designed Chevrolet Silverado Z71 pickup safely before proceeding.
(The pickup has a laterally opening door that then lifts his motorized wheelchair into the cab, where it is locked into place behind the wheel. Special controls allow him to drive the vehicle.)
For the most part, the home looks like any other, inside and out. Some living areas are already furnished, thanks to a donation from Virginia's own Bassett Furniture. The laundry room is already equipped with an easy-to-use front-loading pair.
The house has 2,532 square feet of living space with three bedrooms, two full baths and a half-bath.
It's a handsome design that is largely maintenance-free. The single story ranch has overlapping gables for visual interest and is covered in broad, white HardiPlank siding. It was landscaped during a recent community volunteer event.
By far the lion's share of cost of the house is borne by the foundations with help from the VA. Pruitt put the market value of the house with the "smart" technology at about $650,000. The actual cost of Peck's house is significantly less because of donated labor and at-cost materials. She said the technology alone costs about $60,000.

Makeover day success brings beauty events charity total to more than £200
By WiltsColl | Tuesday, March 04, 2014, 16:35
The Aspire salon at Wiltshire College Chippenham was fully booked with clients who wanted the chance to enjoy a professional style makeover.
The Aspire salon was busy all day with clients who booked in for a Jane Iredale makeover with students
The Makeover Day was organised by Level 2 students studying Beauty Therapy, in aid of the charity Changing Faces, which supports people and families living with life changing physical deformities.
Clients enjoyed a 45-minute makeover with the students, who were using the Jane Iredale range, hugely popular with celebrities and even US president Barrack Obama.
Jane Iredale was the first person to supply the beauty industry with a full line up of make-up based on minerals. Her skin care range combines up-to-date colours for every complexion or ethnicity in a formulation that offers serious skin care benefits.
The range is just one of three that the students are qualified to use, including the Advanced Nutrition programme and Environ.
As a result of their training, Wiltshire College Chippenham became the first in the country to be awarded a Centre of Excellence by the International Institute of Anti-Aging.
Last month the Level 3 students raised £75 for the same charity by hosting a one-day skin event where clients could learn more about the condition of their skin.
A skin analyst from the anti-aging skincare brand Environ used powerful Visia imaging technology to capture information and assess common problem areas such as sun damage, brown pigmentation blemishes, capillary damage, wrinkles, scars or imperfections and congested pores.
The events combined have raised around £200.
Heather Terrington, who is the Programme Leader for Beauty Therapy in Chippenham, said: "The salon manager Jane and I are really proud of the students who have given up much of their own time to put these fundraisers on."The students chose this as our nominated charity last year and it looks like it is becoming a permanent fixture here at Chippenham, as it really touches their hearts.
"Some students have already booked to go on to do Cosmetic Camouflage techniques with the IIAA during the holidays."

The grandson of the late owners of the former Parkside Nursery in Muskego told the Muskego Plan Commission the family hopes the city will approve a proposal to turn the site into a cemetery because that would preserve much of the natural beauty that was so much a part of the nursery's operation.
Patrick Murphy spoke to the commission Tuesday as it took a preliminary look at the proposal. The proposed cemetery on 17 acres at W14105 Tess Corners Drive would have no aboveground markers.
Mark Kosobucki is proposing the cemetery, which could accommodate up to 3,200 burial sites plus seven outdoor mausoleums, an indoor one, a pond with a sitting park, walking trails, a reception area, offices, bathrooms, a community room, two chapels, a crematorium and a pet burial section.
Kosobucki is tied to three Muskego developments - Golden Country Estates, Foxboro and Foxboro North - as well as Golden Bay and Golden Meadows, both in Tichigan.
Commissioners wanted to know how the neighbors feel about a cemetery coming to a residential area. There also was concern about the possibility of a high water table because wetlands are on part of the tract. The developer hasn't completed soil borings that will answer that question.
Maintenance would be taken care of through a fund that would be set up, under state requirements, Jeff Muenkel, community development director, said, and the cemetery would be fenced in with a gate that would be closed at night.
The commission invited the developer to come back with a formal application after those and other questions about state requirements and changes needed on the local level were detailed.

text: Gordon Ramsay's Party Nightmares by John Sexton Mar 19, 2013 4:40 PM PT Share This: Print It occurs to me that after the 2012 election the GOP is in the position of one of the failing restauranteurs on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. In the show, which is worth watching (especially the British version), Gordon Ramsay comes in and does a business intervention on a failing restaurant. Inevitably the owner of the failing establishment is holding tightly to some element of his past--the bad menu, the ugly decor, the chef who can't cook--while fewer and fewer people fill the place for lunch and dinner. Here's a brief example (language warning): The man in that video is convinced that his decor is an important part of his restaurant instead of a distraction and quite possibly a hindrance. He'd rather have the art (and his ego investment in it) than have customers, which is sad. He's so wrapped up in it that he kicks his last, best hope for success right out the front door. That's a pretty good metaphor for some of what's happening on the right at this moment. If you watch Kitchen Nightmares week after week, it's amazing how many restauranteurs gradually forget the most basic lesson of any business: The customer is always right. Even when he's wrong, he right. Restaurants aren't in the business of telling customers what to like. They're in the business of delivering what customers already like. The same is true of political parties. The GOP doesn't get to tell the electorate what the principles are for the nation. That happens at the cultural level. Political parties get to appeal to the principles already embraced by the people. So it simply won't work to have our party telling people they like the wrong things. We can try but it's a recipe for disaster (pun intended). I'm a conservative. I wish people embraced individualism and shunned government largesse in overwhelming majorities. I think it's better for them as individuals and for us as a nation if they do. But the GOP is in the service industry. It has to prepare a menu that will draw more customers than the other guy. That can be a challenge when your competitor is offering big portions of lard-laden food and free drinks. How do you compete without becoming part of the moral hazard? The answer is you can't. Not completely. We can't--metaphorically speaking--succeed by offering people steamed broccoli. Is it better for them? Yes of course. Will they line up for it? Uh...no. Welcome to the marketplace where people don't always like what's best for them. As conservatives, we defend people's choices--even unhealthy ones--when it comes to Bloomberg's soda ban or smoking. We can't do less in the political marketplace. The GOP lost in 2012. Minorities and young voters abandoned us like patrons abandoning a failing restaurant. Winning in future elections means doing something to win those voters back. I'm not saying we need to side with Democrats on every giveaway or social issue. But teaching people to love broccoli is not a winning strategy. We need to offer people something they want, even if we're not completely convinced it's what they should want. Politics is ultimately part of the service industry. I don't know who the Gordon Ramsay is going to be in 2016, but I do know he'll be counseling change in some ways that may make us uncomfortable. If we want to succeed we'll need to embrace it. Party Nightmares by Lisa De Pasquale Mar 20, 2013 7:46 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Gordon Ramsay's Party Nightmares: I remember reading that after Gordon Ramsay leaves, the restaurants bounce back because of the publicity, but many still end up closing. Found this article that says out of the 32 restaurants featured in three seasons, 19 have closed. As you said, there are plenty of cosmetic changes one can make when it comes to restaurants and the Republican party. Gimmicks alone can't sustain them. I just hope the Republican party doesn't "close" because I have a tattoo of the Republican elephant. Seriously. (Sorry, Mom and Dad.) Free Elephant Tattoos by John Sexton Mar 20, 2013 9:31 AM PT Share This: Print In response to Party Nightmares: I don't know if you've watched Ramsay's show but the premise is that he intervenes in restaurants that are truly desperate, i.e. in every case they are at the point of closing their doors. Often the owners are tens of thousands of dollars in debt before he arrives, some have mortgaged their homes to keep the failing business in operation. I think it's fair to say that without Ramsay's help the rate of closure would be 100%. The example I posted was about Decor but usually that's just a minor point. Ramsay revamps the entire menu and often shuffles the kitchen staff. Sometimes a chef is fired or demoted. The changes definitely go beyond cosmetic in most cases. Most of the episodes now include an epilogue where the producers return several months later to see how the business is doing. Frequently you find that the owners have abandoned the changes Ramsay made and brought back portions of their old, failed menu or returned to old patterns. In other words, the failures that do occur are sometimes the result of stubbornness on the part of owners. Jumping back to politicis, I had one person tell me on Twitter that the 18 year olds who abandoned the GOP in 2012 will come around when they turn 30. I don't think waiting until 2024 for people to change their minds is a good marketing strategy for the party. Free elephant tattoos is a better one. advertisement Breitbart Video Picks advertisement advertisement Most Popular Fox News National Thousands take to streets across US for second day after Ferguson grand jury decision26 Nov 2014, 12:45 AM PDT Gun sales slip through as Black Friday shopping burdens the nation's background check system26 Nov 2014, 12:45 AM PDT Ferguson protesters rally across US for second day25 Nov 2014 Ferguson streets calm down as protesters disperse, National Guard remains on watch25 Nov 2014 Developers look to construct underground NYC park25 Nov 2014 advertisement Send A Tip Sign up for our newsletter

- Manufactured by DuPont Rayon Company
What is this?
Highly graphic, stylized design of Diana the Huntress shooting backward at an antelope, accompanied by running dogs, with other prancing horned animals. A framework of curving elements resembling ironwork unifies the design. Printed in black on a white ground.
Why is this in our collection?
This 1920s printed textile portrays a lyrical arrangement of elongated antelope or gazelles being pursued by the huntress, Diana. Diana, accompanied by running dogs, shoots backward at an antelope surrounded by prancing horned animals while a framework of curving vines unifies the design. The textile was designed by Thomas Lamb and manufactured by the DuPont Rayon Company. The motif is screen printed in black on a white rayon plain weave ground. It is a spectacular textile in its fluid patterning, printing quality, and superb condition. Its three yard length would make it an important exhibit piece for any textile presentation that covers this period.

This heart-warming children's movie is an incredibly cynical attack on societal pressure.So you think that, in Miracle on 34th Street, Kris Kringle is actually Santa Claus, and exonerated — or at least a harmless old man who deserves his delusion? Nothing could be further from the truth. The proof:
The lead of this film is Santa Claus.Every December 24th, we leave out milk and cookies for Edmund Gwenn.
Kris Kringle is a Time LordWell somebody had to say it!
Kris Kringle is neither insane nor Santa Claus.Kris Kringle is just a very rich old man with a lot of free time on his hands, who every Christmas goes around pretending to be Santa to try to bring a little magic back in Christmas by doing seemingly miraculous things that he has prepared for well in advance. And he's so convicted to keeping the magic alive that he refuses to admit he's not Santa Claus, even though not doing so could result in being committed.

Danny Hylton is hoping that Gary Waddock will again get the best out of him after yesterday completing his move to Oxford United.
The 25-year-old striker played under the U's head coach when he was at Aldershot, and says that his spell at the Recreation Ground was his best in professional football.
Hylton has signed a two-year deal at the Kassam Stadium, and is hoping to put a disappointing campaign behind him.
The 6ft forward made just one appearance for Sky Bet League One side Rotherham, spending part of the season on loan at Bury and AFC Wimbledon.
But Hylton says he is delighted to have completed his move to Oxford, and can't wait for the season to get under way.
"I enjoyed every minute when Gary was my manager before and he was a massive factor in me coming here," Hylton said.
"He has belief in you and a good style of play. He likes to play good attacking football and hopefully the fans will enjoy it. It's a fresh start for me and I am really excited – I can't wait to get going now."
Hylton scored 48 times in 139 starts for Aldershot, before moving to Rotherham last summer.
However, things did not go well at the New York Stadium, the striker making just one appearance for the Millers at Brentford in October.
A week later, he went on loan to Bury, where he scored twice in seven starts and then in January went to Wimbledon where he netted three times in ten starts.
"I went to Rotherham and it didn't work out how I wanted it to, but that's part of football," he added.
"You can't predict what's going to happen and you have to experience the lows as well as the highs. It can only make you stronger.
"I now know what it's like to not really play for a year and I don't want to go through that again."
Hylton, who was handed an eight-match ban in May 2012 after being found guilty of two charges of racial abuse, will link up with his new teammates when they report back for pre-season.

Center Stage: Glee Club Spring Break Tour Day 3
Sunday, March 10, 2013
After a restful morning at their homestays, the gentlemen traveled to the luxurious Port Royal Country Club in Naples, FL.
The properties committee carried in all the necessary sound equipment, but the risers were left behind in favor of a shaded canopy area right next to the pool.
The PMO staff gathered for a group photo with the white sands and blue ocean behind them.
Drummer Andrew James looked ready to hit the beach!
And Ted was about to join him! The band wore fun, colored glasses during Ba-Na-Na to add to their spring break "Beach Boys Medley."
During sound check, Ba-Na-Na got to take their new medley for a test drive. It included songs like "409" and "Surfer Girl."
While the guests arrived around the pool, the Glee Club continued to warm up in the shade of the clubhouse and discussed their plans for the day.
Freshman Seth Miller had the chance to serenade a lucky lady, poolside.
Kaitlyn Tappenden kept everything running smoothly on the sound board.
The group put on a fun and impressive show for the guests of the club.
After the thirty minute performance, the Glee Club sang to some additional guests before relocating to have a meal of their own.
The second performance of the day was in Bower Chapel at Moorings Park, just a short drive away from Port Royal.
The properties were loaded in and assembled quickly.
Watch out!
Flashbacks debuted their spring break song, "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles.
Before the show there was some downtime and some Glee Clubbers used it to get work done.
Others used their time to soak up the sun!
After some relaxation, the group changed and filed in between the pews with a powerful entrance of "Glory Surrounds." This performance was completely sold out!
The group sang both sacred and secular songs in the church, including our hometown favorite, "The West Lafayette Song."
The women of the audience loved being able to talk one-on-one with a Glee Clubber and have the chance to hear them sing up close and personal during the run out.
Voiceovers also brought back a song from many years ago, "It's Gonna Rain."
Ba-Na-Na broke out their beach attire and entertained the audience.
After a successful day of two shows, the group loaded onto the busses and headed back to their homestays.
"Today was the first day of shows in Florida with the Glee Club, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. First, we visited the Port Royal Club where we had a poolside show near the beach. The breeze was wonderful, but the sun shined right down on the front row, so I was squinting a little and I got more sun on my face then I wanted. The audience was great! They were pleasant and welcomed us with open arms and smiles that shined even brighter than the sun during and after the show. After that, we headed to Bower Chapel at Moorings Park, which was a wonderful chapel surrounded by a lush landscape with a fountain that added a peaceful atmosphere to our show. The audience there was also very receptive and I could see the appreciation of what we do from their faces, which made the whole experience even sweeter. It was a great start to our spring break performances!"
Yours in Song,
Jordan Friend

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Louisiana Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that property taxes funding the Comite River Diversion Canal project be sent to the district that oversees the project instead of being held in escrow. The high court made its decision even as a lawsuit challenging the tax collection is still playing out in court.
The Advocate reports Central property owner Terry Campbell filed a lawsuit in state court in November 2010 claiming the Amite River Basin Drainage and Water Conservation District, improperly continued to collect money from a 3-mill property tax passed in July 2000 to fund the project.
Campbell's lawsuit alleges the tax resolution authorized the district to collect no more than $6 million from the tax but that the district kept collecting money after reaching that goal. Chris Whittington, one of the attorneys representing the class-action plaintiffs, has said the figure had climbed to about $13 million as of early 2013.
Sid Gautreaux and Jason Ard, the sheriffs in East Baton Rouge and Livingston parishes respectively, said in court records they were still collecting the taxes because no ruling had been made on the legality of the collection. Campbell and other residents continued to pay the tax out of an abundance of caution as the case played out, court records show.
The state's high court last Thursday refused to hear the appeal, effectively upholding an appellate court ruling ordering the funds be sent to the district, which covers parts of East Baton Rouge, Livingston and Ascension parishes.
The Comite River Diversion Canal project will lower flooding risks in the Comite River Basin by diverting floodwater from the Amite and Comite rivers to the Mississippi River. The Comite River Basin covers portions of East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Ascension and East Feliciana parishes as well as Wilkinson and Amite counties in Mississippi.
The project had been discussed for decades after a disastrous flood in 1983 but gained some traction in 2000 after the tax proposal passed. However, construction on the $188 million project has been delayed for years because of legal and financial issues.

Kansas reinstates RB Darrian Miller
Updated: May 28, 2013, 4:40 PM ETBy David Ubben | ESPN.com
Jayhawks running back Darrian Miller has returned to the Kansas roster.
Since taking over as Kansas coach, Charlie Weis has removed 29 players from the Jayhawks team.
That number is back down to 27. Miller was one of 10 players removed from the team in January 2012, despite rushing for 559 yards and four touchdowns on just 136 carries as a freshman in 2011.
He has signed a grant-in-aid offer from Kansas after attending community college in 2012, where he did not play ...

text: Reid Blames Colorado Floods On 'Climate Change' Print article Send a Tip by Meredith Dake 17 Sep 2013 post a comment Harry Reid used the massive destruction caused by flooding in parts of Colorado on the Senate floor Tuesday morning to slam House Republicans for partisanship and wasting the "taxpayer's time" trying to repeal ObamaCare. Reid listed numerous issues that Congress should be focusing its time during session this year and lamented that the House Republicans refused to get on board with President's domestic agenda. "ObamaCare is the law of the land. It's time for Republican's to mature," Reid said, "to grow up ... It's time for Republicans to stop denying reality." After suggesting that Congress should be addressing issues with infrastructure, Reid focused on "climate change." "Climate change is here," Reid said. "We're doing nothing about it." Reid also suggested that Congress should "try passing immigration reform" before listing the economic benefits of ObamaCare. Watch Senator Reid's remarks and read the transcript below: We should be facing the reality of climate change. Look what happened in Colorado. I talked to Senator Bennet yesterday, he said the floods were "biblical." In one part of Colorado, it rained 12 inches in two hours. I can't imagine that. Fires all over the West -- climate change is here. I met with the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh. They don't know what they're going to do with the rise of the sea, which is taking place. That country has no place -- no high ground. It's that way all over the world. Martial Islands -- 1,000 islands make up the Martial Islands. Fifty-five thousand people live there. These islands are being washed away with these new waves they've never seen before. Climate change is here. We're doing nothing about it. They're spending all our time, the American taxpayer's time, trying to repeal a law that's been in effect for four years. Follow me on Twitter: @meredithdake

SAN DIEGO – Tony Gwynn could handle a bat like few other major leaguers, whether it was driving the ball through the 5.5 hole between third base and shortstop or hitting a home run off the facade in Yankee Stadium in the World Series.
He was a craftsman at the plate, whose sweet left-handed swing made him one of baseball's greatest hitters.
Gwynn, a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest athletes in San Diego's history, died Monday of oral cancer, a disease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco. He was 54.
Our city is a little darker today without him but immeasurably better because of him, Mayor Kevin Faulconer said in a statement.
In a rarity in pro sports, Gwynn played his whole career with the Padres, choosing to stay in the city where he was a two-sport star in college, rather than leaving for bigger paychecks elsewhere. His terrific hand-eye coordination made him one of the game's greatest pure hitters.
He had 3,141 hits – 18th on the all-time list – a career .338 average and won eight batting titles to tie Honus Wagner's NL record.
He struck out only 434 times in 9,288 career at-bats. He played in San Diego's only two World Series – batting a combined .371 – and was a 15-time All-Star. He had a memorable home run in Game 1 of the 1998 World Series off fellow San Diegan David Wells, and scored the winning run in the 1994 All-Star Game despite a bum knee.
Gwynn never hit below .309 in a full season. He spread his batting titles from 1984, when he batted .351, to 1997, when he hit .372.
Gwynn was hitting .394 when a players' strike ended the 1994 season, denying him a shot at becoming the first player to hit .400 since San Diego native Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.
Gwynn befriended Williams and the two loved to talk about hitting. Gwynn steadied Williams when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the 1999 All-Star Game at Boston's Fenway Park.
Fellow Hall of Famer Greg Maddux tweeted, Tony Gwynn was the best pure hitter I ever faced! Condolences to his family.
Tim Flannery, who was a teammate of Gwynn on the Padres' 1984 World Series team and later was on San Diego's coaching staff, said he'll remember the cackle to his laugh. He was always laughing, always talking, always happy.
The baseball world is going to miss one of the greats, and the world itself is going to miss one of the great men of mankind, Flannery said. He cared so much for other people. He had a work ethic unlike anybody else, and had a childlike demeanor of playing the game just because he loved it so much.
Gwynn had been on a medical leave since late March from his job as baseball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater. He died at a hospital in suburban Poway, agent John Boggs said.
Gwynn's wife, Alicia, and other family members were at his side when he died, Boggs said.
Gwynn's son, Tony Jr., was with the Philadelphia Phillies, who later placed him on the bereavement list.
Today I lost my Dad, my best friend and my mentor, Gwynn Jr. tweeted. I'm gonna miss u so much pops. I'm gonna do everything in my power to continue to ... Make u proud!
Gwynn had two operations for cancer in his right cheek between August 2010 and February 2012. He had been in and out of the hospital and had spent time in a rehab facility, Boggs said.
Gwynn was born in Los Angeles on May 9, 1960, and attended high school in Long Beach. He was a two-sport star at San Diego State, playing point guard for the basketball team – he still holds the game, season and career record for assists – and in the outfield on the baseball team.
He was drafted by both the Padres (third round) and San Diego Clippers (10th round) on the same day in 1981.
In a career full of highlights, Gwynn had his 3,000th hit on Aug. 9, 1999, a first-inning single to right field at Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
Gwynn retired after the 2001 season and became a volunteer assistant at SDSU in 2002. He took over as head coach after that season.
He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.
Gwynn also is survived by a daughter, Anisha.

Yes - before you buy a new car, you can get an RAC Vehicle Inspection carried out by an experienced RAC engineer to check whether a car is roadworthy and safe to drive before you buy it.
For more information, please visit the RAC Vehicle Inspections page.
Yes, RAC can provide an HPI car history report (view a sample report) for a low fee.
An RAC car history report (HPI car data check) confirms the vehicle details (such as make, model, colour, engine size etc.), along with its export/scrap status. It also checks if the car has been recorded as stolen on the Police National Computer, checks if it has been written off by an insurance company (and whether it has subsequently been inspected and returned to the road), whether it still has outstanding finance against it, whether it is at risk of being sold illegally and whether it has any mileage discrepancies/has been clocked. It also provides a valuation.
