Community Partners of Dallas helps protect and provide healing to our community's abused and neglected children by providing resources to the caseworkers of Child Protective Services (CPS), including critically needed items for children who have been removed from their homes by CPS. Community Partners of Dallas served more than 20,000 children last year, 78% of whom are under the age of 10. In January 2019, Community Partners of Dallas moved into a new larger facility and anticipates an increased number of children they will serve.
The Crystal Charity Ball funds will be used over three years to expand its two largest programs, The Rainbow Room and Kids in Crisis, and create an endowment for perpetual support of CPS. The requested funds will help purchase items for The Rainbow Room and shelving to store the increased inventory; provide for a new full-time staff member dedicated to the increased needs of both programs; and create an endowment to provide critically needed items fo future growth and support of children in Dallas County's Child Protective Services. Approximately 12,000 unduplicated children ages 0-18 will be served annually.

Value of a good name
Volkswagen's sixth-generation T-Series (T6) shows why the Kombi name continues to be so enduring, says GAVIN MYERS
If there's one instantly recognisable name in the world of light commercial vehicles, it is Kombi. It's part of the Volkswagen (VW) T-Series range; a nameplate that has been around for 65 years and sold 12-million units during that time.
We received the T6 Kombi TDI DSG Comfortline for testing. It was immediately apparent that this new T6 version is a smart evolution of the T5. With its bold, horizontal double grille and mid-height cut lines, the T6 Kombi holds a dapper, yet commanding, presence.
This vehicle is about moving people, so it's the interior that really matters. Practical, comfortable and hardy are the descriptors that come to mind here… There is a huge amount of interior space and all eight seats are large and comfy. They're easy to access, too, and can be easily removed to reveal 6,7 m3 of total load volume.
Up front there are cubbies, storage trays and drink holders galore. The Kombi does miss out on the Caravelle's centre stack, though. In the pursuit of passenger comfort, heat insulating glass, rear ventilation and heating connected to the semi-automatic Climatic climate control system, and sun blinds on the rear side windows are fitted as standard. The whole floor is carpeted on the Kombi Comfortline.
Volkswagen claims the T6 is the most advanced T-Series model it has ever made. It has an intuitive five-inch Composition Colour radio with USB and SD card slot, and a Bluetooth hands-free facility, but what's really important is the range of sector-first safety systems.
These include Multi-Collision Braking System, which automatically brakes after an accident to reduce the risk, or severity, of a secondary collision, as well as the Driver Alert System. Standard in the Kombi Comfortline, this monitors steering patterns and uses visual and acoustic warnings to recommend that the driver takes a break.
Our test vehicle was fitted with the 103 kW 2,0-litre TDI engine. Developing a maximum torque output of 340 Nm (between 1 750 and 2 000 r/min) and coupled to VW's generally faultless seven-speed DSG double-clutch gearbox, progress is smooth, strong and effortless.
It's relatively fuel efficient as well. VW claims it'll consume 8,0 l/100 km on the combined driving cycle and 10,2 in town – we managed an overall 9,1.
VW has gone to great lengths in tuning the T6 chassis for passenger comfort and good handling characteristics. Indeed, despite its 3 080 kg gross vehicle mass and 3,4-m wheelbase, the Kombi is surprisingly nimble while offering a supple ride.
The T6 Kombi is a comfortable, spacious people mover that, overall, is hard to fault. It is one of the best automatic vehicles in its class and proves the value and longevity of a good name.
Competitively priced at R629 700, it is backed up by a three-year/120 000 km manufacturer warranty and 12-year anti-corrosion warranty, as well as a five-year/60 000 km AutoMotion maintenance plan.

PARIS – Restaurants in France face prosecution starting today if they offer unlimited fizzy drinks to customers in the latest Gallic crackdown on obesity.
France had already enforced a tax on sweet drinks in 2012. Now, a new decree makes it illegal to sell unlimited amounts of drinks with sugar or sweetener at a fixed price or for free.
Ikea, the home improvement chain, has removed drink fountains from its 33 centres around France, but other vendors, including the fast food chain Quick, waited until Friday to change their drink fountain set-up.
Five Guys, a newcomer in France, was reported to have opted to add microchips to cups so when customers try to get a refill from its fountains, they automatically switch off. Parliament approved the ban in April 2015 and enshrined it in law in January last year as part of drive to reduce obesity.
A recent study suggested that half of French adults are overweight. However; only 15 per cent are technically obese. A person with a body mass index (weight divided by the square of height) of 30 or more is considered obese. A person with a BMI equal to or more than 25 is considered overweight.


I have a specific email account (Hotmail) used for any kind of list I have to sign up for, for companies that ask for an address, for anything possibly related to SPAM, etc. It work's pretty well. It keeps my primary email box relatively clean.
Anyway, I was digging through Hotmail today and found an email that got buried deep within its bowels. It's from The Bridge's staff Christmas party. We used eVite (hence it being in my SPAM account) to send out invitations and to communicate the details.
This was generated from a list we made saying what we would like to do during the party. Not everyone responded, but I found it rather amusing.
What would you love for us to do on this night?
ababbittjr – Use Icy for target practice!
psalm16 – Games and such…worship and prayer for the New Year.
cgarcia – A game or two.
William Hartz – Party like it's 1999.


The look of a multi-burner set with the reliability and performance of a single burner design.
Detailed logs with heavy bark, natural split, and a charred window to the burning embers.
Opposed louver, lanced port burner with Enhanced Ember-Lift ™ technology and a heavy 5/8" grate.

Federico García Lorca - Nominee
"The artist, and particularly the poet, is always an anarchist in the best sense of the word. He must heed only the call that arises within him from three strong voices: the voice of death, with all its foreboding, the voice of love and the voice of art."
- Federico Garcia Lorca
García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. Originally from Granada, he moved to Madrid in 1919 where he became part of Spain's avant-garde. From 1925 to 1928 he was passionately involved with Salvador Dalí, though it is said Dalí rejected his erotic advances. His heavily homoerotic Sonnets of Dark Love, written in November 1935 and shared only with close friends, were lost until 1983 when they were finally published in draft form. When Five Years Pass (Así Que Pasen Cinco Años, 1931), Blood Wedding (Bodas de Sangre, 1932), Yerma (1934), Diván del Tamarit (1931–1936) and House of Bernarda Alba (La Casa de Bernarda Alba) are generally regarded as his major works. Though he escaped the Spanish Civil War by moving back to Granada, he was arrested and assassinated on August 19, 1936 by the Nationalist militia. Significant controversy remains about the motives and details of his death including suggestions that he was targeted because of his sexual orientation, while others assert it was part of a political purge. Following his death García Lorca came to be lionized as "The finest poet of Imperial Spain." In spite of numerous exhumations, his remains have never been found. García Lorca is honored by a statue prominently located in Madrid's Plaza de Santa Ana.

Felix Septimo had long since gained a playing reputation by 2015, according to The Kingston Whig-Standard.
"Felix is always playing, whether it's baseball, softball, slo-pitch, men's leagues, mixed leagues," his manager with the amateur Kanata Athletics Angus McDonald told The Whig-Standard. "He'd probably play in an orthodox league if they had one. If you're looking for Felix, chances are he's at a ballpark."
Septimo also played in the pros. His stay, however, was brief. He played two seasons, never making AA.
Septimo's pro career began in 1990, signed by the Blue Jays as a free agent out of his native Dominican Republic. Septimo is also sometimes credited as Felix Septino.
Septimo started with the Blue Jays at rookie Medicine Hat. He got into 43 games, hitting .219. He also hit two home runs and knocked in 17.
He moved to short-season St. Catharines for 1991. He got into just 14 games, hitting .283, ending his brief career.
Septimo ultimately stayed in Canada and settled in the Ottawa area and continued playing on the amateur level into 2016. With Kanata, he hit two home runs in a June 2016.
Septimo also serves as a youth baseball camp coach with Mike's Baseball Camps.
