AA seeks Ocean Dr trade-off The New Zealand Automobile Association's Otago district council is again calling for a compromise on John Wilson Ocean Dr, before a crucial meeting today that could decide the road's future use. tiffany necklace silver

Councillors at today's Dunedin City Council meeting will vote on whether to send the issue back to the council's community development committee, as suggested by Cr Bill Acklin, to study new options for the road's future use. A "yes" vote would keep the debate alive, while a "no" vote would mean councillors were sticking by an earlier decision to keep the road permanently closed to vehicles. tiffany men's necklace

However, NZAA Otago district council chairman Jack Crawford on Saturday issued a statement calling for a "suitable compromise" to be considered, allowing motorists and other users to share the road. That was based on results of a survey sent to about 7000 association members in Dunedin last week, of which 1586 were returned, he said. tiffany necklace

The results showed 66.9% did not believe the road should be permanently closed to vehicles, while 30.3% supported the vehicle ban. However, results from other survey questions also showed members would be "happy to accept compromise", perhaps by allowing vehicles from 9am to 5pm each day. That would give "the self-propelled community free rein the rest of the time", including evenings during daylight savings, he said. tiffany charms

Continuing the vehicle ban would mean "very few" people would use the road when the weather was poor, he argued. "These results come as no surprise to me. AA membership these days is pretty representative of the adult community at large. "It seems to me that with a little bit of thought, access to the drive can be organised in a manner that would suit most visitors to the area. tiffany necklace white gold

" It was the second time the association had surveyed its members about John Wilson Ocean Dr, after similar consultation before last year's public hearing, where it argued for shared use of the road. Arguments at the hearing had included those for and against vehicle access, a vehicle ban or shared use of the road. The panel eventually recommended upgrading the road for shared use, with a walking and cycling pathway and other facilities to cater for motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users. tiffany pendants

Councillors initially backed a proposal to spend $487,519 on the upgrade, but last month voted to remove the funding from the 2011-12 draft annual plan, which would also be confirmed at today's meeting.

tiffany necklaceMother pleads for help finding her son The last conversation Lee Hall had with her son, missing Palmerston North man Brett Hall, was about two of his favourite things – his house and his grandkids. She is desperate to know what has happened to Mr Hall, who disappeared from his rural Whanganui property sometime between May 27 and 29. In a statement released to the Manawatu Standard, Mrs Hall appealed for people to aid the police investigation, and had some harsh words for anyone who may have harmed her son. tiffany men's necklace

Mrs Hall saw her son about once a week, but last spoke with him on May 24. "We talked about the house he was building and his grandchildren and the things they said to him," she said. "He adored his grandchildren, he was always talking about them and they just adored their granddad and they want him back." Family and friends were devastated and shocked at news of his disappearance, and Mrs Hall has struggled to sleep. "I can't think straight or concentrate, my mind just goes blank. I ask over and over `Brett where are you'? tiffany necklace silver

"Our lives have been turned upside down for no reason other than for someone else's greed or just plain evil doing. I pray those people rot in hell. "I think he has been forcibly taken from his property by more than one person and taken to goodness knows where. "Those people beware, you will be found." Mrs Hall described her son as an easy-going guy who was quick to laugh but could be serious when required. "He could get angry if someone annoyed him or ripped him off but then so do most people.

Mr Hall has a son and two grandchildren, aged four and one, and was in the process of building his dream house at the Pitangi Track property, she said. "His dream was to own a block of land in the country surrounded by bush. He had such plans for that place, it was to be his El Dorado." An outdoors man who enjoyed fishing and hunting, Mr Hall was known to trap possums on his land and sell the fur. He had planned to create an orchard and large garden on the property. tiffany charms

cheap tiffany and co jewelry Mrs. Obama to youth: History to be made in Africa OHANNESBURG – Michelle Obama on Wednesday told young African leaders, including members of South Africa's post-apartheid generation, that there are more causes worth fighting for and more history to be made. She urged them to be the ones who end hunger, wipe out HIV/AIDS and protect women's rights. In an emotionally stirring speech at a church that became a popular refuge during the fight against government-imposed segregation in South Africa, America's first lady drew on the struggle for racial equality in the U.S. and in this country as she sought to inspire young people to become the next generation of problem-solvers. tiffany earrings

"I know that as your generation looks back on that struggle and on the many liberation movements of the past century, you may think that all the great moral struggles have already been won," Mrs. Obama said in a keynote address to a U.S.-sponsored leadership conference for more than 70 young African women. "But while today's challenges might not always inspire the lofty rhetoric and high drama of struggles past, the injustices at hand are no less glaring. The human suffering is no less acute. "So make no mistake about it: There are still so many causes worth sacrificing for. There is still so much history yet to be made," she said. Sixty percent of Africa's population is under age 25 and two-thirds of South Africans are younger than 30, Mrs. Obama said. tiffany cufflinks

The first lady said this generation can be the one that brings prosperity to forgotten corners of the world, banishes hunger from Africa and ends HIV/AIDS and the stigma associated with it. She said they can ensure that women are no longer treated as second-class citizens, that girls get an education and that any type of violence against women is seen as a violation of human rights. "That is the history that your generation can make," Mrs. Obama said. She received an effusive introduction from Graca Machel, the wife of former South African President Nelson Mandela, who said Mrs. Obama is the "queen of our world." That welcome, which included music from a choir whose members wore colorful Zulu hats, was so rousing that Mrs. Obama was visibly moved by the time she got to the microphone. She shook her head as if in disbelief, crossed her arms over her chest and thanked the audience of 2,000 for that "almost overwhelming" introduction. tiffany charms

A large television screen aired the speech to dozens more gathered in a nearby park. In her remarks, Mrs. Obama told Africa's youth to reject the "false comfort" that they shouldn't be concerned about the suffering of others and to not get impatient over the slow pace of change. She told them to not underestimate their power to make a difference and suggested that they think of one another's accomplishments when self-doubt starts to creep in. She said she was thinking about the young activists who met at the American Library in Soweto during the apartheid era to read Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches and about students on U.S. college campuses, including her future husband, who planned boycotts to support students in South Africa. Nearly 50 years after the victories of the U.S. civil rights movement, Mrs. Obama said, "We still struggle every day to perfect our union and live up to our ideals. And every day, it is our young people who are leading the way" by joining the military, teaching in struggling schools and volunteering countless hours in their communities. tiffany pendants

"Today, I want you to know that as you seek to lift up your families, your communities, your countries and our world, you are never alone," she said. Mrs. Obama delivered her 30-minute address at the Regina Mundi Church in the black township of Soweto. The church became more than a religious sanctuary 35 years ago, in June 1976, when police fired upon thousands of students who were peacefully protesting the government's decision to require them to begin studying in Afrikaans, the language of the country's Dutch settlers. Students fled into the church but police followed, with tear gas and bullets. No one was killed inside Regina Mundi, but hundreds did die that day, including a 13-year-old school boy named Hector Pieterson, who became a symbol of the Soweto uprisings. After the speech, Mrs. Obama helped lay flowers at a memorial to Pieterson near to where he was shot. She also toured an adjacent museum that tells his story. Mrs. tiffany accessories

Obama was accompanied by Pieterson's sister, Antoinette Sithole, who is seen running alongside the man carrying her brother's lifeless body in a famous photograph from that time. She also dropped in on group sessions involving participants from the leadership conference, and later helped pull up carrots and plant spinach in a garden at a U.S.-funded community center in Soweto that feeds and provides services to 300 children. She arrived in Cape Town on Wednesday night. Mrs. Obama is halfway through a weeklong goodwill mission to South Africa and Botswana, and is promoting youth leadership, education, health and wellness, and closer relations with Africa. cheap tiffany

She also is steeping herself and her family in South Africa's racist past. The first lady is on her second international trip without the president, but for company she brought along her two daughters, Malia, 12, and Sasha, 10; her mother, Marian Robinson, and a niece and nephew, Leslie and Avery Robinson, 15 and 19, respectively. They are the children of her brother, Craig. Her schedule Thursday included a ferry ride to Robben Island, where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison for leading the anti-apartheid movement; a meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu, another leading apartheid opponent; and a discussion with disadvantaged students who are spending the day at the University of Cape Town. cheap tiffany and co

Origins of the ‘Tiffany’ The origin of the tiffany is long.Tiffany CEO Michael Kowalski told Business Day of Johannesburg that branding its diamonds by emphasizing their origin is an important part of its sales strategy. The founding cats were a pair of golden-eyed, chocolate-coloured, long-haired cats of unknown origin, bought by a New York breeder in 1967. In 1969 they produced their first litter. All six kittens had identical rich chocolate-brown coats, and this prompted further breeding.

tiffany pendantsIn the early 1970s the cats from this programme were registered as Foreign Longhairs. Several breeders thought they must be long-haired Burmese, but this was proved not to be the case. Some of the kittens were then bought by a Florida breeder, who was well-known for her Burmese cats. She devised the new name of Tiffany for them, thinking it suggested a classy elegance. However, people associated the new cats with the breeder’s Burmese ones, and so the myth of the Tiffany as the ‘Longhair Burmese’ began.

tiffany cufflinks Now we take an example for the above, confuse matters further, in the 1980s British breeders working on variations of the new Burmilla breed – a Burmese/Chinchilla cross – accidentally created a long-haired brown cat. It was at first known as the Asian Longhair, but then, hearing (wrongly) that the Americans had a long-haired Burmese cat called the Tiffany, the British decided on the same name, but for various reasons spelled it as Tiffanie. Needless to say, this only added to the confusion! Kowalski also said that diamonds have been the healthiest and fastest-growing segment of its jewelry sales for the past few years. Kowalski said the firm’s concern about the origins of rough stones predates the international outcry over conflict diamonds that led to the establishment of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme The Origin of Tiffany Lamps. by Pamela Smith. Tiffany lamps got their origin in 1985. It did not take long for these unique designs to be popular among lamp-makers and buyers . tiffany charms
