Siberian Siren - Maria Sharapova returns to Wimbledon

Beautiful Russian  Maria  Sharapova , had the highest winning percentage on tour this year at 89%.
Maria Sharapova
Date of Birth: April 19, 1987
Birthplace: Nyagan, Russia (Siberian Region)
Current Residence: Bradenton, Florida, USA Nationality: Russian
Height: 6'2 ft
Weight: 130 lbs. (59 kg)
She was born on April 19, 1987 in Nyagan, a town in the Siberian region of Russia. In 1989, she moved with the family to the Black Sea resort town of Sochi. When she was 4 years old, a chance encounter changed her life, the father of tennis champion Yevgeny Kafelnikov, and the man gave her a racket. Since then, she started hitting tennis balls. The game became a passion for her.
With a deadly backhand, Maria Sharapova was the youngest titlist on the WTA Tour in 2003 with two championships under her belt. Although she has since curbed her enthusiasm somewhat, she was called to be the "Siberian Siren" because of her extremely loud grunting whenever she hit the ball.

Surfing and girls

Although surfing was a male-dominated sport, adventurous women surfers can be seen all the way back to the times of the Polynesian Queens. Two notable 'surfer girls' were Eve Fletcher and Anona Napolean. Eve Fletcher was a California-born animator for Walt Disney and Anona Napolean was the daughter of a respected Hawaiian surfing family. The two pioneered the sport for modern women, winning surfing competitions up and down the California coast at the end of the 50s and into the 60s. Hollywood was quick to be on the scene and with the 1959 film "Gidget", surfing was flung far out into the mainstream, never to return to its humble, ritualistic beginnings. "Gidget" inspired a slew of "Beach Blanket Bingo" movies that brought surfing to a new generation of teens and inspiring a new genre of 'surf music' that accompanied films and made The Beach Boys more famous than Elvis in the 60s.

Oregon Kayak and Canoe Club Progression

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for whitewater paddling clubs.  The Missouri Whitewater Association was like a second family to me growing up.  There are many reasons to be a member of a paddling club.  They bring people together for important cooperative efforts like river conservation, competitions, and of course, one of the more popular activities, beer consumption.

The Olympic Torch

Today the kids and I had the honour of seeing the Olympic torch run through our town.  Yes, I did say honour. For it or against it, it is likely something that will only happen once in our lives (unless it's not).
