*Higher Ground (HG) is a nationally recognized veteran rehabilitation program that combines sports, family and coping therapies to restore and rehabilitate men and women of the armed forces who have been severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
*The University of Delaware Deltones was founded in 1991 by a group of five University of Delaware students affectionately known as “the origitones.” The group members pride themselves on their smooth tunes and their motto - friends first, singers second - a motto they have lived by for 20 years. They focus their energy towards singing on campus and in the Delaware community, as it is important for them to give back to those who support them. The group consists of five current UD students, seven recent graduates and three recent “alumnitones.”
*Special Olympics Project UNIFY is a national project funded by the U.S. Department of Education. The goal of Project UNIFY is to activate youth around the country in an effort to develop school communities where all young people are agents of change — fostering respect, dignity and advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities by utilizing the programs and initiatives of Special Olympics.
Christmas Miracle of the Day: 59-year-old Brenda Hewlett, who has never so much as held a hockey stick, makes a 114-foot, once-in-a-million-lifetimes puck shot during halftime at an Akwesasne Warriors game to win a brand new 2012 Ford F-150 from Frenchie’s Ford in Massena, NY.
According to the dealership’s Internet Manager Clayton Plourde, Ms. Hewlett arrived at Frenchie’s last Friday for some service work on her beat up truck, and remarked how she wished she could afford a new one.
Service manager Joe Jock joking suggested she fill out a ballot and try winning one in the rink.
That’s just the trailer to the video that is a fucking POWER HOUR of all the greatest Philadelphia moments. Am I doing this this weekend? Hell fucking yes. Here’s the link to the power hour.
Hi friends! One of the acapella groups from UD is competing this fall on NBC’s The Sing Off! Check out my friend ENEMY Avi Amon and the rest of the Deltones on the show this fall, but until then, watch their fab audition tape!
PS - Here’s the full story on their amazing accomplishment.
Keith recorded and mixed this entire CD in his own bedroom and has successfuly produced the best Deltones CD yet. His skills are immeasurable and we are all grateful for his hard work. I am particularly proud of the great sound that the group continues to get without conforming to the severely over-produced sound that most groups are leaning toward these days. You can tell that people are singing on this track and not a robotic auto-tuned choir.
Plus Cortney’s voice just kills me every time. She sings this song as if she wrote the lyrics herself. I think it is rare to find a performer that can sing with such style, inflection and conviction. She tells a powerful story when she sings this song - can we say goosebumps - and I could listen to this track on repeat for days.
