Ariel Sharon, former Israel PM, is dead
Former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon passed away Saturday after being comatose for eight years. He was the first prime minister of Israel to visit India.
Sharon, 85, died at the Sheba Medical Centre near Tel Aviv, Xinhua cited a hospital spokesperson as saying.
Ariel Sharon suffered a stroke in 2006 and slipped into a coma. His condition deteriorated last week after he suffered a kidney failure.
In 2003, Sharon became the first Israeli prime minister to visit India. He flew to New Delhi at the invitation of then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
A former defence and foreign minister, Sharon -- one of the most controversial Israeli leaders -- took part in several Israeli military campaigns, playing a controversial role in the 1982 Lebanese war.
From being a leader of the Likud party, Sharon was often blamed for the second Palestinian intifada.
But after beginning his second term as prime minister in 2003, Sharon changed his attitude toward Palestinians. In 2005, he quit the Likud and set up the Kadima party, trying to offer a centre-left alternative.
Health issues, however, dragged him down, eventually leading to his death Saturday.
Sharon was born Feb 26, 1928 in Kfar Malal, an agrarian community in central Israel. In 1945, he enlisted in the Haganah, the pre-state Jewish armed force.
In 1948, he took part in the war of independence. He rose through the ranks as he fought in the 1956 Suez Canal War, the 1967 six-day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
After leaving the army, Sharon in 1973 helped Menachem Begin establish the Likud party, which grouped various right-wing parties.
In the same year, Sharon was elected to the Knesset, Israel's parliament, beginning a long political career.
He was defence minister from August 1981 to February 1983 and foreign minister from October 1998 to July 1999. In 1999 Sharon was elected leader of the Likud party.
In 2000, Sharon went on a controversial visit to the highly sensitive Temple Mount, which is sacred to both Jews and Muslims, and declared that every Jew has a right to visit the mountain.
The Palestinians say this triggered the second intifada.
Sharon became prime minister in 2001. A wave of deadly Palestinian militant attacks led Sharon to orchestrate a military operation to conquer the West Bank territories ruled by the Palestinian Authority.
In 2003, Sharon and the Likud won by a landslide and he began his second term as prime minister.
Sharon seemingly changed his attitude towards the Palestinians and peace negotiations in 2003 when he endorsed the 'Roadmap' outline for peace put forth by the US, the European Union and Russia.
In 2005, Sharon orchestrated the 'Disengagement Plan' from the Gaza Strip, evacuating Israeli settlers and military camps.
This heightened tensions in his right-wing party. In November 2005, he withdrew from the Likud and established the Kadima party, trying to offer a centre-left alternative.
In December 2005, Sharon underwent a minor stroke. On Jan 4, 2006, he suffered another stroke and slipped into a coma. He was replaced by former prime minister Ehud Olmert.
Sharon experienced several personal tragedies.
His first wife Margalit was killed in a car accident in 1962. In 1968, his 11-year-old son Gur was killed while playing with a gun. His second wife Lily died of cancer in 2000.

Craigslist revenue on track to hit the $100 million mark

Craigslist revenue on track to hit the $100 million mark
Craigslist, the "free classifieds" site that offers community advertising in 570 markets worldwide but charges only for a tiny percentage of its ads, will generate $100 million in revenue in 2009, the AIM Group / Classified Intelligence estimated today.
That's an increase of more than 23 percent from Craigslist's estimated revenue of $81 million in 2008, making clear that the company continues to grow significantly while many classified advertising publishers are reporting year-over-year drops of 50 percent or more in certain categories.
Craigslist is a stunning business success story, especially since it's run more like a community service than a for-profit business. And despite tremendous negative publicity and legal battles, its revenue keeps increasing at a remarkable pace.
Our estimate of Craigslist's revenue is part of an 11-page annual overview in our clients-only Classified Intelligence Report, one of the cornerstones of continuous-advisory service. Clients received the report today, along with other news.
The report illustrates how the company has neatly sidestepped an agreement with state law-enforcement officials about ads for "erotic services;" recaps the company's ongoing court fight with part-owner EBay; and reviews some of the sites competing with Craigslist, including IList.com, Backpage.com from Village Voice Media, and Kijiji.com and its related classified sites from EBay.
We're making the Craigslist portion of the report available to non-clients, for only $295. You can purchase it here.
The special report includes more than a dozen links to legal action against and by Craigslist and other Craigslist-related information, and four graphics about Craigslist's revenue and growth. One full-page graphic details Craigslist's ad counts and revenue projections in more than 150 U.S. cities.
We began estimating Craigslist's revenue in 2003, when we projected revenue of about $7 million. The AIM Group tracks Craigslist's revenue through the most basic approach – counting ads; its complete methodology is detailed in the report.

Evra says Man U squad 'inspired' by interim boss Giggs
Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has reportedly revealed how bringing veteran footballer Ryan Giggs to be the club's interim manager, after David Moyes' sacking, has 'inspired' the squad.
Evra has claimed that Giggs along with the interim boss' former teammate Paul Scholes, who has been appointed as a part of United's coaching staff by the veteran footballer, has already had a positive effect on him and his teammates.
According to the Mirror, Evra said that it is really natural to watch the Welsh professional footballer take charge of United because he always felt, ever since the French international started playing for the club, that a player like Giggs inspires one.
Evra said that Giggs and Scholes inspire the young players, senior players and one can see people fighting more for their place, to make sure that they are picked for the time.
Evra said that Giggs has got the respect from everyone straight away, because he is someone from the club and someone who has won every trophy within United.
Evra said that he is very happy with the new interim manager, but also said that he does not know why Scholes took so long to return to the club, as everyone really missed him.
The French international said that when he sees Scholes it reminds him of when they played against Manchester City in the FA Cup in 2012 and Evra saw him train with the United squad.

This route deserves a bit more credit, and traffic, than its given. It is splitter! We got on it as an alternative to Jah Man because it was so crowded, and it turned out to be amazing.
Also, if you want to get straight to the business, consider the direct start. We didn't do the chimney and traverse in, we just came straight in from below. It is very straight forward, 5.7 or something. We were hustling so we linked all the way up to the hanging belay in a single pitch, with with no drag, but I didn't place any gear on the approach pitch.

|I'd say pitch two is as good as any I've done in Castle Valley. We used a new #4 camalot on pitch 3 and found one constriction in the crack where it worked, barely. I'd probably bring an old #4 or new #5 if I were to do it again.

Some leftovers from Oregon's win at Stanford
Some of this is repeat from the game story at www.registerguard.com that I'm sure most of you have seen. Plus a couple added thoughts and quotes on Friday morning …
UO coach Dana Altman has been emphasizing to his team that EVERYBODY needs to rebound, not just the post players. Think it showed Thursday?
Malcolm Armstead had five rebounds, three at the offensive end including the follow shot that started Oregon on a 12-0 run in the second half. Jay-R Strowbridge, listed at 5-10, had four rebounds. Johnathan Loyd, all 5-8 of him, had three defensive rebounds.
Passing the basketball to set up a teammate is almost a credo of Altman's philosophy.
Against Stanford, there were 14 assists, on 23 field goals. Considering four of Oregon's field goals came on tips or follow shots, where a player got a rebound and went back up with it, that's a pretty solid number of passes leading to points. And that's after 18 assists on 24 field goals at Oregon State.
Those 18 turnovers by Stanford don't seem like a lot, until the style of play enters in.
The Cardinal hasn't had that many turnovers in any other Pac-10 game. My unofficial count was four turnovers in the backcourt against Oregon's press, and even when Stanford didn't lose the ball, they were using up eight seconds to get across the midcourt line (and at Maples you can see it) and then resetting to start their offense. Only a couple of times did Stanford beat the Ducks for shots against the press.
KEEPING THE TRAINER BUSY: Joevan Catron, who led the Ducks with 15 points, acknowledged after the game he still wasn't feeling great after missing practice Monday and Tuesday with illness.
"I'm still kind of sick. You can hear it when I talk," Catron said. "It's tough to breathe with a cold, that's why I was coming out a lot."
Starting point guard Loyd played 22 minutes against the Cardinal, but after the game, he was limping down the hall toward the bus due to that sore ankle. That's why Armstead's 25 minutes were so important, plus his renewed aggressiveness at the offensive end.
Jeremy Jacob played only 12 minutes, but contributed five points and three rebounds. The limited time may mean he's ready for at least that many at Cal because it's usually the second game where a sore knee shows up, if there have been too many minutes in the first game of the weekend.
ACTUALLY, THAT'S THREE: A member of the media from the Bay Area was asking about the Ducks before the game, and noted "well, they've already got two more wins than I thought they'd get all (Pac-10) season."
It's three now, with 10 conference games left. And February includes five home games in the Matthew Knight Arena.
Look, it's only a win over a Stanford team that has now gone seven consecutive games without reaching 60 points. Still, the Ducks are 3-5 with a game left before the midpoint of the Pac-10 season.
That still only puts Oregon in a tie for seventh (with Oregon State and Stanford, who play Saturday) but it's a two-game lead over last-place Arizona State. And, yes, it's also a game out of a tie for fourth place.
With three wins in its last four games, the Ducks are even back to .500 overall at 10-10. Probably a little early to be calling the NIT or the CBI but who out there had the Ducks with this kind of a record entering the final game of January?
Oregon is scheduled to practice late Friday afternoon at Haas Pavilion. Will offer a quick update on health and any other issues of note after that.

The Historic Jailhouse Inn
Old Jailhouse
109 Houston St. (River St. SW) Send to Phone
Preston, MN 55965
View Website
* Click here for rating key
The Historic Jailhouse Inn Hotel Review: This inn is located in the old Fillmore County Jail that was built in the Italianate style in 1869. The interior has been painstakingly restored to its original Victorian splendor, including a curved walnut banister at the front entrance. Some of the original seven-foot paneled white doors also remain. Today the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Perhaps the inns most interesting rooms are the Cell Block where guests may choose to sleep behind bars, or the sheriffs former personal bedroom. The Court Room, Bridal Suite and Cell Block each have two-person whirlpools in which to luxuriate after a day of biking, hiking or fishing. Wood-burning fireplaces crackle in many of the bedrooms, as well as the parlor and dining room. If the walls could talk, you might hear many an interesting tale, such as the story of the prisoners who chiseled their way to freedom with their dinner spoons.

"Big Sur, I've got plans for you.
Me and mine are going to add ourselves to your lengthy list of lovers"
All this rain has put a little hurt on Big Sur. Once that road is running again theres a great new reason to visit the area. For those looking for the perfect place to get lost I have found it, or rather it found me – Big Sur Richard's Kingdom Canyon… Well, thats what I like to call it.
After talking to Richard on the phone a couple times for him to explain what I was getting into I eventually texted him that I would take the spot for a few days. He texted back "Ok. Pod of dolphins out front, Maybe 100, slowly cruising on a dawns-light glassy ocean. A few of them goofing and leaping, land kersplash on their sides." Dude. You sold me.
When we arrived I parked my truck a few hundred yards in the drive and loaded our things up in Richards jeep. "Welcome to the Kingdom" he said as we winded up the road, the road he built, which drops a couple hundred feet to the right.
Nestled about a mile back, Richard's 54 acres of wild land are salt and peppered with airstream, silver stream and pathfinder trailers. He has been restoring these so folks like you and me can stay and enjoy the regions steeply sloped unspoiled dreamy wilderness. What else is great is that this place, which straddles the line somewhere between camping and motel, is that it's off the grid. Richard lives on a steady diet of solar power, propane gas and farm fresh eggs…
An Airstream trailer that will soon be dropped in the canyon by helicopter and loved again.
Another one of the trailers to be restored – I think this one is a Silver Stream
Mountain Mamma.
Phone booth with a view. This is the place Richard get the best cell reception. That box there has a phone book and binoculars.
Chicken roaming the land…
Farm fresh eggs. Richard brought us these and some jam in the morning.
Inside the 62 Pathfinder
Bath house with running water, tub, outdoor shower, epic veiw of water…
View of Esalen from the road….
Get out there and get still… Call Richard, 831-601 -7974
Moving on up and got a bunch that can't come with. A lot of old finds from the road mainly in the name of vintage clothes, some designer if you're into that, also furniture, records, some heavy "american" type of things, for instance that helmet there, a half pack of cigarettes, dust bunnies and a taxidermy boars head. 273 Filbert Steps. 60 down from Montgomery, 200 up from Sansome. 9am – 3pm Rain or Shine. Not sure early birds exist in SF but none of those. BYOB. Hope to see you.
Theres 372 million people living in this state yet you can drive 372 miles down the 5 and hardly see one…some recent out the window shots during the hike from SF to LA.

Ranked Nonprofits: Local Animal Welfare, Rights, & Protection 2011
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." - Alice Walker
"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men." - Alice Walker
The Cause: Animal welfare, rights, and protection is one of the most popular issue areas to which individual donors give and is an area in which colleagues working in the field are extremely passionate. Many experts spoke of the importance of protecting animals similar to protecting the marginalized in society. Without human support, many animals face abuse, neglect, and suffering.
The Scope: Experts were asked to recommend nonprofits that work in one or more of the following categories, protecting: companion animals, farm animals, animals used for research, and wildlife animals. The reason why we included different types of animals, and didn't only focus on companion animals was because the welfare of other types of animals (factory farm animals, animals used in laboratories, and wildlife) were equally as important. Different nonprofits approach the issue area differently. Some nonprofits emphasize on fighting for the well-being of animals (animal welfare), while others fight for the rights of animals (animal rights). Types of nonprofits might include advocacy, legislative, education, regulatory, or direct services (shelters, animal rescue, and sanctuaries). This was part of our research to identify nonprofits working on animal welfare, rights, and protection on a national level, because we recognized that it was important to highlight both national and local nonprofits working in this cause. You can read more about the scope of the research here.
169 Local Animal Welfare, Rights, & Protection experts recommended the following 16 outstanding nonprofits.

To achieve this goal, the Alliance, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, has formed a public-private partnership with the City of New York (100% privately funded) to develop creative solutions to deal with issues of animal care and control in New York City. We have united 150+ not-for-profit animal care groups, small and large, already working effectively to place NYC's dogs and cats. These groups range from the ASPCA, a founding member and major supporter of the Alliance, to all-volunteer, neighborhood-based groups. In accordance with our 10-year strategic plan, we continue to help these groups work to their highest potential, while also implementing key initiatives to both support the efforts of these groups and achieve our overall mission. Among our key initiatives are (i) Wheels of Hope for NYC's Homeless Pets, our transport program (driving dogs and cats from Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C), our city shelters, to the no-kill groups participating in the Alliance); (ii) the Picasso Veterinary Fund (helping to pay for life-saving vet care for homeless pets taken in by our city shelters); and (iii) the New York City Feral Cat Initiative (working via the humane method of Trap-Neuter-Return to address the feral cat overpopulation crisis in NYC and decrease cat intake and euthanasia at our city shelters).

realy beautiful great work : )

Beautiful art

Rated 5 / 5 stars
There are so many things that are fantastic about this piece. The artistry in the laces and hair, the well formed facial features, even the flower in her hair. I really like the detail in the eyes as well.
If I were to have a qualm about this piece, it would rest upon her bare shoulder. I imagine that you drew them both together and added the elaboration of the dress on top of the left, but the right just looks overbearingly pale and bland in comparison.
HOWEVER; I must also acknowledge that the pale pureness of this picture is its charm. Thank you for such a marvelous piece.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is a beautiful piece of artwork; the attention to detail in the lace, the flower and the hair are all very carefully done and it really shows that you've put alot of time into this. I love the lighting effects too. 10 stars for you and a favourite =)

Three Pacific Coast States Join British Columbia to Combat Climate Change
November 6, 2013
California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia on October 28 signed a regional agreement to strategically align policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean energy. The pact seeks to enhance cooperation through a range of activities, including harmonizing 2050 targets for greenhouse gas reductions and developing mid-term targets needed to support long-term reduction goals. The agreement also calls for steps to expand the use of zero-emission vehicles, aiming for 10% of new public and private fleet vehicle purchases by 2016. It also proposes maintaining low-carbon fuel standards in each jurisdiction and continuing deployment of high-speed rail across the region.
The group affirmed the scientific consensus on the human causes of climate change and its impacts. Members cited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report, released in September 2013, and added that governmental actions should be grounded in this scientific understanding of climate change. See the State of California press release.

Keep Your Website Fresh -
And Your Visitors Hungry For More
Launching an attractive, innovative Web presence is only the beginning of a company's Internet marketing efforts, and for many businesses the easy part. The greater task unfolds over time: a great launch must be leveraged into a growing and dynamic campaign that transforms a one-time advertising investment into a long term business driver.
Many businesses abandon their efforts shortly after launch - and for a time, coast on momentum. But then their website begins to grow stale. Conversions begin to vanish as repeat visits diminish. New visitors falter as search engines find other, more interesting websites to rank. Before long, what was once a promising Web powerhouse is just another forgotten domain name - and an important marketing investment, just another business expense.
Planning and executing a careful strategy for updating and maintaining your website is vital for extracting a maximum return on investment over the long term. Fresh content keeps Google and other search engines happy, attracting new visitors and giving old ones great reasons to keep coming back. But how do you find the time, energy or resources you need to keep your website fresh when you have a business to run as well?
Use a CMS. A feature rich CMS (Content Management System) will automate much of the website updating process, eliminating much of the chores involved with adding and changing your online content.
Consider outsourcing. A dedicated professional writer can often produce quality online content faster and more reliably than your office staff. Considering outsourcing your content creation to an outside creative firm or copywriter who won't view updating your website as a side task best done on a slow day.
Launch a blog. The blog format is usually less formal and more personal than other forms of online content, making it ideal for quickly producing content about timely issues. It's also a great way to regularly generate large amounts of fresh website material.
Leverage your users. Did you know that your most eager writing staff is willing to work for free? Find ways to get your users involved, offering feedback or writing guest articles or blog entries. Bringing your users into the effort is a terrific way to generate endless fresh material, while encouraging a greater number of repeat visits - and sales.
Don't let your website grow stale. Keep it fresh with strategies enjoyed by truly successful marketers - and build the long term Web presence that not only increases sales, but attracts loyal visitors as well.
Tasty Tip:
Often, free is the most expensive price of all. Don't be afraid to pay for guaranteed uptime, 24/7/365 technical support and a proven track record. Extended downtime can be a lot more expensive to a business, particularly in terms of lost sales and damaged credibility.
Pouring Your Trust Into A Host That Lasts
Your website is only as good as the company that hosts it. Is your website on a dedicated server, provided by a reliable firm that offers comprehensive and professional technical support? Don't find out the hard way. A dedicated host provider delivers much more than simply a place to park: save money now by carefully choosing a host that you can count on.

State Patrol: 1 Dead In Kandiyohi County Rollover Crash
August 3, 2014 10:49 AM
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – One person is dead after a rollover crash in western Minnesota Saturday afternoon, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
Authorities were called to the crash at about 3:35 p.m. on Highway 12 east of Kandiyohi near Willmar. When officers arrived, a 2000 Mitsubishi Montero was heading westbound on Highway 12 when it went off the road into the right ditch and rolled multiple times, coming to a rest on its side.
Authorities said the driver was partially ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. The name of the victim has not been released.
What led up to the crash is under investigation by the Minnesota State Patrol with assistance from the Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office.

PA&E's Bonded Metals Division, formally known as Northwest Technical Industries (NTI), employs an explosive shock hardening metal working technique to generate a work-hardened surface on a fabricated metal part similar to results achieved through peen hardening. During the hardening operation, explosive materials are applied directly to the metallic surface to be hardened and are detonated, driving the resultant forces into the metal surface. The operation, essentially cold, works the metal surface and hardening can be induced up to 1/4″ deep.
Explosive Hardening Applications
The most common application of explosive shock hardening is to cast high-manganese steel rail frogs and switchings. Other mining and excavating applications have applied explosive shock hardening to Hadfield's steel and modified Hadfield's alloys. Limited research has implied that rhenium can also be hardened through explosive shock hardening.

Agate Bookends
Agate Bookends ~12cm Turquoise
Bring gorgeous colour and crystal energy into your home with these vibrant Turquoise Agate Bookends.
Agate is believed to create balance between different types of energy and the spiritual and physical planes, making it a fantastic crystal for busy homes, meditation spaces and workplaces.
Agate is usually formed in the intense heat of volcanic rock. The different bands are created by variation of cooling and mineral content when the molten rock is gradually solidifying. Finally, quartz crystals grow to create the glittering central cavity. The agate bands can be coloured in varying amounts to produce the beautiful result you see here.
Combining natural beauty and positive crystal energy, these turquoise agate bookends are a wonderful gift for housewarmings, birthdays and any occasion.
This product is a one-off piece. The picture shows the exact product you will receive.

Ahh, the miracle of the tough Gasol brother. SOOOO glad to see him back, and boy, did it make a difference, psychologically as well as physically. The body language of the whole team was completely different right from the start, on both ends of the floor. Such a heady player (runs in the family, I suppose).
In sharp contrast to the opening night chokefest, this was a very entertaining game, and not just because the Grizzlies held on for a HUGE early-season win.
With apologies to every respectable literary figure in history, I'll ask a question. How did I love this game? Let me count the ways and the whys:
-Mike Conley, 4 steals. OJ Mayo, 3 steals (with the galaxy-sized one on the final play). Why is this important? Kidd, Terry, and Berea have sliced and diced the Grizzlies for years. Particulary as the game wore on, Mayo looked like, wait for it, a glove on Jason Kidd. It was a good decision from the start to put OJ on the bigger but slower Kidd and Conley on the tall, quick, but not nearly as bulky Jason Terry (on final plays, screens cause switches, and darned if it didn't work out just fine).
-More than just the guards, there was a very important change on defense for the Griz this game. The rotations were more accurate in terms of direction, players left, players doubled, etc….but most importantly, the first and second rotations were made with deliberate speed, notfreakout-induced panic speed. Yes, the age of the Mavericks makes it easier to forgive slower, more deliberate rotations as compared to the Hawks' use of a team full of youthful, talented pogosticks, but it worked. Switch, establish position, call a rotation, and execute. Yes, the Mavs still shot well for the game, but the average Griz fan has to be proud of the dogged defense the team played.
-Marc Gasol, ten points and fifteen rebounds, and not one on-court sign of his injury. Did I ever mention that the Grizzlies currently employ my favorite Gasol brother? I think I did, but it's always worth restating. OJ even used the phrase "rallied around Marc" in the postgame interview (diggin' BK doing the color commentary-no slight to Touhy, he's great and a super nice guy to boot, but BK just offers a different perspective and set of insights). If there was any doubt that Gay and Gasol are the two most important players on the team, Rudy's attempt to shoulder the depleted team against the Hawks and Marc being the difference in this game should erase such doubts. Sure, Chandler and Haywood are not Dwight Howard and Yao Ming, but they are competent centers for sure, and Marc did great against both of them with a had-to-be-gimpy ankle. Gasol, like his brother, sees the court on offense and makes such smart decisions with the ball that it's just hard to find a hole in his game. Man D? Maybe he's not lightning-quick in the lateral plane, but his IQ helps him out there.
-MIke Conley, we like the new you. Yes, it's only two games, and he did NOT shoot the ball well this game, but he's showing a distinct lack of perimeter ballkilling thus far. Pride in his game is what he is showing, and it needs to continue. If it's becase he's in a contract year, so be it-whatever works.
-Darrell Arthur, we like the new you, but we need more rebounds from you. The scoring is an asset that even the most optimistic among us would not have expected in regular season games, particularly the step-out shots, but DA has to get it rocking in the paint on missed shots to truly provide a backup to ZBo who can help hold leads.
-The bench in general. Yes, The Destroyer of Evil looked only marginally better than in the ATL game, but marginally is better than nothing. Tony Allen, while he made a couple of uncharacteristically boneheaded plays (the bobble turnover at a crucial point really hurt) and racked up four fouls in what seemed like two minutes, played the up-in-grill defense that we were promised and that we anticipated. Sam Young was ineffective, but was not necessary. Xavier Henry played an interesting game-he was very involved, especially on offense, and tried to do too much. However, the Grizzlies won the game in spite of his 1-7 shooting and the propensity he showed to commit ill-timed fouls (very few fouls are not ill-timed, eh?). Again, since the Griz won, he gets a rookie pass, and I'm quite glad that Henry (and Hollins) are looking to get #13 more involved with the team.
I'll be in the house at FEF tomorrow night (can't beat a $10 club seat). Let's see if the Grizzlies can come up with some better shooting and really bury the Wolves…
p.s. WAY TO GO OJ! Get in the flow, my man. And stay there.

Indigenous youth in Australia are often neglected and receive very little support. Recreational trips with a focus on surfing can act as a catalyst to engage, inspire and empower these young people.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Isolation and a shocking lack of community resources greatly disadvantage many Indigenous young people in remote communities. Receiving little support or opportunity to engage in positive recreational opportunities can contribute to poor life choices and low educational aspirations. Poor choices in relation to diet, exercise, drug use and sexual behavior are all potential outcomes of this lack of support.
How will this project solve this problem?
By running trips which engage participants in fun, challenging and empowering recreational activities such as surfing we aim to promote the physical and mental health and well being of indigenous youth from disadvantaged communities.
Potential Long Term Impact
Promoting leadership by empowering participants to take on Youth Leader roles provides a chance for individuals to become role models for future trip participants and to further develop communication skills and enhance life choices.

Poll: An epilogue, which briefly shows what life is like after the ending, can perfect a story or ruin it. It's a little early to ask, but would you like to see an epilogue at the end of "Unorthodox Matchmakers"? Vote Now!
Author has written 13 stories for Naruto, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Death Note, Kuroshitsuji, Fullmetal Alchemist, Nobuta wo Produce, and 1 Litre of Tears/Ichi Rittoru no Namida/1リットルの涙.
03/05/2012 - Hi guys. Yes, I'm still alive. Yes, I get your messages and read your reviews (thank you all so much, btw :D). I haven't had the time to reply to most of them, because University and persistent real life issues take up most of my time. It also means that I haven't much time to write, especially this year, which is my 2nd at Uni and contains the bulk of the workload.
I'm not here to make promises, but to let you know that Phoenix Soar has not died yet and writes whenever she can, which is ... not much admittedly, but still. (I know this is not the first time I've said that, but please please do understand that there are many reasons for my inactivity T_T) It still makes me so happy to see people commenting on my stories and your reviews/messages give me the determination to finish what I've started. I always said I'd never abandon anything and I still have no thought of doing so. I just really lack the time to sit down, think over what I've planned/plotted, and write it all out.
I still cannot promise a date for an update, but the ideas/unfinished chapters are still there, and there will come a day when they will make it on here. Right now, I'm just not in a position where I can say when.
I apologise once again and thank you all so so so much for your encouragement (and random blackmail/threats to get me to update xD). I miss you guys a lot
~ Phoenix
If I don't update at all for a year or longer without giving any prior warnings of such a hiatus, then you can safely assume that I died xD
GOT QUESTIONS? Like to chat? Wanna go berserk? Then just fire away on my Formspring profile: http:// www.formspring.me/ PhoenixSoar (just remove the spaces)
~My avatar is not mine, by the way. It belongs to its rightful owner~
The Crux
Name: It originated somewhere in Asia and generally means "Pride of the King". Let's see if you can guess it ... ;)
Age: One more year before I lose my status as a teenager. (Where is Peter Pan/Neverland when you need 'em?!)
Gender: XX chromosomes. Do the Bio.
Looks: Black hair, dark brown eyes, relatively tall, nothing special. :)
Random Stuff You Probably Couldn't Care Less About
Words often used to describe me: Weird. Twisted. (And occasionally, "annoying" - though, of course, I bring that upon myself :P)
Watching the moon/sunrise/sunset, counting the stars, listening to the rain while drifting off to sleep ... I value the simple joys of life.
Tomboy tendencies and lack of interest in typical girl stuff - yep, I'm the bane of my decidedly effeminate mother and sisters' existences ... and I love it xD
"One true love"? Pfft. I'd choose a big bunch of friends any day of the week.
I used to get urges to hug my old African Grey - ya know, those huge, bone-crushing hugs? - and then eat it, which I'm convinced was all due to love.
Pretty much everything I see is "cute" to me. All those adorable mice, tarantulas, snakes ...
Marriage is something I firmly believe in. Love, though, is still a big question mark ... (Kinda contradictory, ain't it?)
I absolutely adore reading. Favourite authors include Neil Gaiman, Phillip Pullman, Eoin Colfer, J. K. Rowling, Louis Sachar and so on.
I have officially decided upon D'arvit as my choice swear word. (Fellow "Artemis Fowl" fans, you know what I'm talking about! xD)
Obsession at the Moment:
Currently, my fandoms are Naruto, Harry Potter, Inheritance Cycle (Eragon) - though I'm not a fan of the books/movie - and, occasionally, Chronicles of Narnia, Cardcaptor Sakura, WOWP plus some assorted others.
In the works:
"Unorthodox Matchmakers" (Harry Potter) - When Draco Malfoy wished upon the enchanted engagement rings to find him his perfect bride, the very last thing he expected was to end up with a certain Harry Potter ... nonyaoi, femHarry. - Updates are likely to become more infrequent in the future.
"Three Pieces of the Puzzle" (Nobuta wo Produce) - "You will be able to meet different kinds of people." "And then one day, you will never see them again..." - But for Shuji, Akira and Nobuta, it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. Friendship fic! Mild Akira/Nobuta. - Will be around two or three chapters. Updates will probably be infrequent.
"Playing With Fire" (Naruto) - It was a mutual, non-spoken agreement between two headstrong neighbours: they weren't friends, they didn't talk and they didn't acknowledge each other's existence … until the day she set his "underwear" on fire. He was not amused … femNaru, SasuNaru - Title may change. Still in the planning process.
"Dreams of an Insomniac" (Harry Potter) - Not yet confirmed. 50-50 chance of being written.
"The Dragon and the Weasel" (Harry Potter) - Draco Malfoy will do anything to win over Harry Potter's heart, even if it means having to "befriend" Ron Weasley first. Too bad his new attitude and attempts to get close to Ron keep giving the red-head constant heart attacks … Implied Draco/fem!Harry - Because Draco scaring the sh!t outta Ron is hilarious for me since I love Ron so much (and characters I love tend to suffer a lot at my hands xD).
On Hiatus:
"My Type of In-Laws" (Naruto) - Their "epic love saga" has begun and is in bloom! But now they have to face that one, tiny little catch that every relationship has: meeting the parents ... you gotta feel sorry for them ... femNaru, SasuNaru. - One-shot sequel to my fic "My Type of Woman". I'm really sorry, but my limited time and lack of inspiration prevent me from writing it right now. But I really want to finish it and I intend to sometime in the future.
~ I have one more Naruto story, which is a crack Kakafem!Naru fic that a reviewer of mine once suggested. It's incomplete and I have no idea whether I'll get the inspiration to return to it, but if ever it progresses, I'll be sure to mention it up here. ~
Coming Up Next: The Dragon and the Weasel most likely. I'll update UM after that, K.
