Throughout the past nine years, both National and the Greens, from different directions, have drifted nearer to the centre, stealing votes - and, occasionally, policies - from the largest party of the left, leaving it craving oxygen, a political fish all but pinched from the water by the pragmatism of National and the dynamism of the Greens.

    their strategy on the fly, and his absence led the Knicks to an embarrassing loss. In addition to his absence it was reported by multiple outlets that he’s seeking a five year 150 million dollar contract this off-season. For arguments, sake let's say Phil Jackson actually entertain this and gives him a max deal. With the new CBA 150 million seems like a bargain, however for Rose it’s not the money that scares me. It’s the years of the contract. It’s highly unlikely that’ll he play out his proposed five

    Redeployment, a national book award winner by author Phil Klay is a powerful, informative book about the Iraq war. It is composed of twelve incredible stories. The most memorable story for me is titled “Bodies.” The title got my attention emotionally and logically. Making sense of life, to readjust in the civilian world is the main theme of this story, which I believed it is a struggle to find direction to continue to live life and not just exist.

Then, suddenly, Phil wanted to be in his life as much as he wanted to be in Phil 's, he made Dan feel wanted and of value, which was foreign to him.

    I was always taught that I should be a well-rounded person and to be polite to everyone I meet. And that is why I think of Phil Lester. He has strong qualities to make him a communication mentor.

    If, as the saying goes, “Adversity builds character,” then Phil Anctil has more character than anyone I’ve ever known. On January 22, 2011, Phil’s twenty-four year old son, Max was killed in an automobile accident. Much like his father, Max was compassionate and got along with everyone.
