Will Young: Dazzles Villa Marina bunch

2011-01-01T06:54:00.000-08:00

Will Young sold out concert at the Villa Marina in Douglas in July he proved that he is an charming star.

Will launched the Pop Idol TV show his career few years ago after then the performance showed. Our correspondent said: "Will Young rewarded the packed Villa with a string of his greatest hits and a truly energetic performance. Pop Idol, chart stardom, threater work and movie appearances have helped the singer hone his craft. He commanded the stage, bringing an infectious enthusiasm and a beaming smile which showed what looked like genuine delight at the welcome he received - it was either genuine pleasure or he really is a good actor. The set featured his biggest hits - Switch it On, Changes, Friday's Child, Who Am I, Let It Go, Grace, Your Game and so on - showing this is one product of the reality show format who has managed to move beyond the TV show and become a star in their own right. He cannot, of course, ignore the fact that he came to public prominence thanks to Pop Idol and there was a nod to the show with his rendition of The Doors' classic Light My Fire, the song which helped make him a genuine contender on the programme. Some may have been disappointed not to hear Evergreen or Anything is Possible - the "winner's" songs and Will's first release, which became the fastest selling debut single in UK chart history - but Will Young has moved beyond the show which launched him and has much more to offer than generic, chart-friendly pop. His remarkable voice was near faultless throughout the show, perhaps helped by clever pacing of the slow and fast numbers, the spacing out of the powerhouse tracks and the interaction with the audience."

Jaclyn Duhachek: Decorators Christmas Light Grace External Home

2010-12-11T11:53:00.000-08:00

Jaclyn Duhachek never thought about her home this year that outside christmas light woulod grace, she said, "It's depressing, You just try to push through for your kids."

Chamous Duhachek has spent about half of the couple's 14-year marriage away from home.

Jaclyn Duhachek said, "He re-enlisted the day of 9/11, "He was walking into the Federal Building in St. Louis as it was being evacuated for security."

Duhachekis son 3-year-old, ran around the front yard and greeted nine decorators as if they were Santa Claus himself. Chamous Duhachek wrote an essay that nominated the home he shares with his wife and three pre-teen children for the Decorated Family program.

Ken Noll's owner of the Garden Kingdom said, "I can't imagine not being with my kids on Christmas. This is the very least we can do for someone who is keeping us safe."

The guys will return and take the decorations down after Christmas.

Noll said, "It's a good way to keep our guys working".

General manager of this project Will Young said, "Our typical jobs run on average from $800 to $1,000. Each project is customized for a specific house, so it's hard to estimate. The Duhachek's project would normally cost on the lower end of the range".

While proud of his company's program, Young said it "pales in comparison" to Duhachek's overseas service.

Jaclyn Duhachek said, "My husband is akin to Clark Griswold, the dad whose over-the-top holiday decorations are part of the comic story line in the movie "Christmas Vacation."

Duhachek said, "My husband loves decorating outside. This makes it feel like he's back home."

Tonight, J-Rod and myself will be at Radio City Music Hall Thurs tweeting Drake and dodge the pants driving his female fans rage. You saw how many "I love you" this guy got in our reports to see just before Tuesday? Get Outta Here.

But really, we wonder if Drake can create magic twice. No shots, but J and I attended the second night of Jay-Z and Eminem's home and home visits where Hov let (made?) Drake restart "Up All Night" at least three times if the young MC could find the pace at Yankee Stadium. We were a little embarrassed for him ... I hope he can rediscover the magic of tonight's show last night and its hosts.

We heard Nicki Minaj not shown, but Young Jeezy, who celebrated his birthday last night, Birdman and J. Cole did not stop by the famous scene in New York. However, if Nick does not show, we can sacrifice our blackberries in the name of our disappointment.

Who do you hope to see tonight when stopping Drake's New York tour? Nicki and Drake for "Up All Night," "Unforgettable" with Drake and Jeezy, Birdman thirty-six duets and Drake or a solo game of J. Cole? How about we throw in a desire for appearance Jay-Z for hip-hop sak

He added: "Which is weird because that's another thing that I forget as well - the show was so big and that song was so big and I think people, even if they weren't fans of the show, still know that song, it was so pervasive.
"No definitely, no that's No 1 on the list. Yeah and I'm doing it live on the tour as well and I can't wait because I haven't done it for three or four years."
The Leave Right Now singer insists he has never tried to shed his Pop Idol tag.
Will said: "I've always been proud of it. But as I've got older I think I've become more and more proud of what I did on that show. I mean it was terrifying, I don't think I could do it now, I actually don't know how I managed to do it then.
"But it was because I loved singing so much and wanted to do this and be where I am now. And that kind of desire can't be underestimated in anyone I don't think, in any career."
:: Will Young The Hits will be released on November 16.

Will Young saw therapist

2009-11-04T12:18:00.000-08:00

Will Young had admitted he had a course of therapy to boost his confidence after winning Pop Idol in 2002. "I had thought I was coping well with my job and being famous but I became scared of going out and meeting people. I was going into loony, reclusive pop star mode, which is very easy to do because you're always busy and people tend to do what you want," Will told the Independent. "I went on the course and stood up and said, 'Hi, I'm Will, I'm a pop star and I'm not very confident.' It was like being in a Richard Curtis comedy. But it was extremely valuable. I'm going on another one soon. I'm looking forward to it."

Will Young: Visits Crawley library

2009-10-27T09:23:00.000-07:00

WILL Young and Sophie Dahl visited people at Crawley Library this week as part of the national Headspace project.
Sophie, grand daughter of the acclaimed children's writer Roald, is a patron of the Roald Dahl Museum and the Story Centre which help fund headspace. She has initiated a scheme with role models from sport, music and television offering an hour to Headspace members to discuss their favourite books. Will, one of these role models, shared extracts with the group in Crawley, from Rudyard Kipling's 'Just So Stories', which his father read to him as a child. Will said: "I found it extremely interesting to be around teenagers who were engaging, challenging, interested, and with greatful senses of humour. It reminded me of why reading is so important." Headspace is an area within libraries that is designed by young people. They choose everything including how the area looks, which books are stocked and the activities which are arranged. It is hoped that offering children involvement in how and what they read may re-kindle a love for books which is all but lost to generation X-box. Cllr Henry Smith said: "Reading can often be knocked off the agenda for young people. The Headspace project aims to tackle this issue, and make books fun and accessible."

"As we emerge from this current economic crisis, our great challenge will be to ensure that we do not just drift into the future," Obama said at Hudson Valley Community College. "Instead, we must choose to do what past generations have done: shape a brighter future through hard work and innovation."
Obama's delivered of a mix of an economic pep talk and a plug for his plan for economy recovery: a sustained investment in education, technology, health care and research. He told his audience that Washington has for years not lived it up to its responsibilities to help.
"If government does its modest part, there is no stopping the most powerful and generative economic force the world has ever known: the American people," Obama said.
The president's pitch came in a region where the economic mood has long been gloomy. Nationwide, unemployment is at 9.7 percent, the highest level since 1983.

We want you to stand on street corners handing out fliers that explain what healthcare reform is really all about and how people can make sure it doesn't get swallowed whole by the drug and insurance companies. Surely you're not too young and strong and healthy and vegan to care about boring parent stuff like health insurance?
This is unfair for a few reasons. First of all, progressives of all ages have been outmaneuvered during this debate. As Robert Reich wrote here at TAPPED, even middle-age lefties haven't been able to get their act together in terms of organizing a health reform march on the Washington Mall. And while there are some great benefits for young adults in the various health reform proposals primarily the right to stay on a parent's health plan until age 26, and an end to "gender rating," in which young women are charged more than young men because they use more health care there are also pitfalls. As the Washington Post reports, a "cheap" health plan after reform may still cost as much as $100 monthly. Facing an individual authorisation to buy coverage, that is a significant burden for low-wage and even middle-income young adults.
That's one reason supporters of reform should pressure the White House and Congress to expand subsidies, regardless of what happens to the public option. The House plan to offer subsidies to individuals making as much as $43,000 annually is much more generous than the Senate Finance plan, which cuts that number down to $32,490.
The administration's white paper on reform, released to coincide with the president's speech last week, avoided the issue of subsidies altogether. But as Obama and advocates pitch health reform directly to young people this week, beginning tomorrow with an event at the University of Maryland, affordability will be a major concern. Young people deserve to hear specifics on how government will help them pay for coverage.
While we wait for specifics though, we can enjoy this ridiculous Rock the Vote health reform ad featuring the annoying stars of "Scrubs."

Will young Wildcats straight playoff appearance for Canton South?

2009-08-27T03:32:00.000-07:00

The Canton South Wildcats went 8-4 last season in their third straight trip to the playoffs. With three years under his belt, head coach Moe Daniska, would like to keep his playoff streak going, but he says “there are many holes to be filled” for that to happen.The Wildcats graduated 22 seniors last year, including their three year beginner quarterback Matthew Trissel and middle linebacker Mike McKinney.In the words of Coach Daniska this means “...there will be a lot of competition for starting positions.” And there certainly will be, with only five starters returning on each side of the ball. The fight for a starting position on either side of the ball should bring out the best from each and every player. Among those who are returning this year on violation are linemen Nate Randall (Sr. 5’ 10, 240) and Justin Darnell (Sr. 6’, 240), who should supply a solid pocket for the new adviser. Jared May, a junior, is being called upon to lead the team as the adviser. Also on the displeasing side of the ball are wide receivers: James Lucas, a 6’ 2” 200 lb. junior and Jerald Robinson, a 6’2” 175 lb. senior. Defensively, J’Colby Waters (Sr. 5’8 175), Jordan Wanner (Sr. 5’10 170), and Troy Sheridan (Jr. 5’11 185) make up the central linebacker and two outside linebacker positions, respectively, while senior Mark Trissel (5’10 170) will play protective back. Robinson will help out on protect as a back. According to Coach Daniska the returning defense “...will be called upon to spark an belligerent, but young protective unit.” Most notable among the returning starters are Robinson and Justin Keith (6’ 200). University of Michigan recruit Robinson will play an important part in the Wildcat spread violation at wide receiver, while also providing greatly at defensive back on the other side. Keith, as a running back, rushed for 1,200 yards last year including 18 touchdowns. Senior Anthony Balsley (5’11 190) will return as offensive lineman and middle linebacker. This makes a total of 11 varsity lettermen returning from last year. Top prospects to fill the vacancies in this 2009 football season include linemen Lloyd Robinson (Jr. 6’ 195), Greg Harris (Sr. 5’11 170), Cody Myers (Jr. 6’4 220) and Chris Mossor (Sr. 5’11 170). Junior Chantler Jenkins (5’7 160) could fill a wide receiver position, while juniors Dewon Turpin (5’9 165) and Justin Lynch (5’7 170) are both viable options for time as running backs and outside linebackers.“Overall, our coaching staff is inspired about the competition for starting positions.” says Daniska.In only his third year as a head coach Canton South and Mount Union graduate Daniska has earlier garnered many honors. They include being named Associate Press All-Northeastern District II Co-Coach of the Year and Stark County Coach of the Year in Division III, IV, V and VI, both in 2006. His experienced coaching staff includes: Eric Frazee, fourth year displeasing coordinator; Greg Williams, 10th year protective coordinator; Greg Eibel, sixth year junior varsity offense; Derek Faiello, junior varsity protect and Dan Hanson, special teams coordinator. The Wildcats will run a spread displeasing set with a 3-5 defense. The Wildcats will open their season at home against Dover on Thursday, Aug. 27, with a 7 p.m. kickoff. Other nonleague games will include Canfield and Ravenna. The first Northeastern Buckeye match-up will come against returning NBC champions the Louisville Leopards.

Adviser: 'Political will' key to juvenile justice reform

2009-08-20T12:54:00.000-07:00

CHEYENNE -- Wyoming leaders want to exercise "political will" to action juvenile justice reform, a technical adviser for the Annie E. Casey Foundation said Tuesday.Rand Young said he is amazed at the amount of attention juvenile justice receives in Wyoming, including the support for change from Gov. Dave Freudenthal and other leaders."You have all the horsepower but for some reason you don't have the political will," Young said. "I don't have the answer for that."Young, who is from Spokane, Wash., was in Cheyenne to explain the foundation's Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative to members of the Joint Interim Judiciary Committee.The foundation has been performing the initiative for 17 years in 110 jurisdictions in 27 states.The invention is to decrease the number of low risk juveniles held in detention in favor of substitute access.
Rand said the substitute is not a "great jail break," because high risk juveniles, those charged with dangerous felonies like murder and assault, will continue to be held in detention for the safety of the public.The "heart of the first," he said, are the community based alternatives -- starting with community service, then house arrest, day reporting and an evening program where the low risk juvenile delinquent can receive tutoring, counseling and learn new skills.The plan has a simple solution for juveniles missing court dates: a phone call ahead of time with a reminder of the damage for not showing up, Young said.The maiden saves money and has not resulted in an increase in juvenile crime in 17 years, according to Young. Detention costs $200 a day per juvenile equivalence to $35 per day for the alternative."We've been doing this for a long time and it works," he said. "Wyoming can, too."It appears Wyoming does not have a lot of actual data, Young said, adding that the foundation could show the state how to cure that problem.Young desire the state not to build long, new juvenile detention facilities."Most of the kids you have in custody are not high risk," he said.He said 63 percent of juveniles in Wyoming detention services are low risk offenders.Community centers can be used for many of the sessions with the juvenile offenders, he said.Sen. Tony Ross, R-Cheyenne, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said part of Wyoming's difficulty is not enough confident services for juveniles.A juvenile offender picked up in Lusk probably will be held in the county sheriff's office until the parents can be found, he said.The committee is working on bills to breed uniform standards for juvenile detention facilities.Wyoming is the only state not in compliance with the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act.The major check to compliance is the position of some judges and prosecuting attorneys who want to retain the option of sentencing juveniles to jail for alcohol possession, for example.The committee cannot move forward without the support of the sheriffs and prosecutors, said Rep. Keith Gingery, R-Jackson, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee."I think the first step is to change some minds, some education," Sen. Kathryn Session, D-Cheyenne, said.Joe Evans, director of the Wyoming County Commissioners Association, said he would try to arrange for Young to address the sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys during their annual meetings next month.

Oh, all these people you hurt along the way

You blame but you’re not ashamed of it

Your grace

Nothing to get in my way
With a little
Grace

Will young trying to give up the smoking

2009-06-15T02:36:00.000-07:00

Will Young is to a great extent trying to give up smoking in a offer to save his voice.
The 'Changes' singer recently had his tonsils removed and while he says his vocal chords are fine, he is aware of the harm his 20-a-day cigarette habit is causing.
He said: "Honestly, I'm back on the mend and feeling good.
"But I'm finding it really hard. I know it's a bad habit, but I get a lot of pleasure from it. I'm trying the patches at the moment, so wish me luck."
Will is not the only celebrity feeling under pressure to give up cigarettes.
It was recently said Tom Cruise had restricted his wife Katie Holmes from smoking after finding out she had taken up the deadly habit again.

About Will Young

2009-06-15T01:41:00.000-07:00

William Robert Young was born in January 20, 1979. He is a British singer and actor. He got fame after winning the inaugural UK Pop Idol contest.Young was born in Wokingham, Berkshire, with a non-identical twin, Rupert. He completed his education at Horris Hill preparatory school and Wellington College.He then attended the University of Exeter where he read Politics. At university, some of Young’s old haunts included Timepiece, The Old Firehouse, and Harry’s, where he used to work. In September 2001, he became a student at the Arts Educational School in Chiswick, London, starting a three-year course in musical theatre with a scholarship.In February 2002 Young came to national prominence by singing in and winning the ITV television programme contest Pop Idol.Contrary to popular belief, Will was not a surprise winner when beating Gareth Gates in the final show; in fact, he gained the most votes nearly every week throughout the entire finals. A lot of ‘casual’ viewers of Pop Idol may have been surprised at Will’s victory because Gareth had got a lot of publicity (partly) due to his stutter, perhaps creating the illusion that he was more likely to win than Will.Young’s first single was a double A-side featuring Westlife’s song “Evergreen” and “Anything Is Possible”, a new song written for the winner of the show by Cathy Dennis. This became the fastest-selling debut in UK chart history selling 403,027 copies on its day of release. It went on to sell over 1.4 million copies and in the official list of the all-time best-selling singles in the UK issued later that year, it appeared 12th.
