Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Andrei Kirilenko led seven Minnesota players in double figures with 20 points as the Timberwolves cruised to a 117-86 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
Dante Cunningham chipped in with 18 points and Greg Stiemsma finished with 14 points and 10 boards for the Timberwolves, who had dropped 12 of their last 15 games entering the contest.
Ricky Rubio and Luke Ridnour finished with 12 points apiece while Nikola Pekovic and Chase Budinger each added 11 in the triumph.
"Right from the very beginning our guys came ready to play. We did a nice job of moving the ball and attacking the basket and we were very active in the zone," said Wolves coach Rick Adelman.
Luis Scola had a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds and Goran Dragic finished with 13 points and 10 assists for the Suns, losers in six of their last seven games.
Minnesota shot 57.9 percent in the first quarter and went a perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line to jump out to an early 31-18 lead after the first 12 minutes.
The Wolves stayed hot in the second, going 14-for-24 from the field, to stretch their lead to 67-39 at the break.
Minnesota shot 58.1 percent from the field in the first half, and scored 15 points off 11 Phoenix turnovers.
The Suns managed to cut the lead under 20 points, 84-65 with three minutes to go in the third, but Phoenix closed the quarter on an 11-4 run.
Minnesota's lead swelled to 35 in the fourth.
"I just didn't think we played with any fire in the beginning. You put yourself in a hole that way," said Suns coach Lindsey Hunter. "Then you come out in the third quarter and play the inspired way you are suppose to and now you are down, but you cant play perfect."
The Wolves snapped a nine-game road losing streak ... Stiemsma set a career
high in points in a single-game ... Dragic has 10 double-doubles since the
All-Star break ... The Suns are 2-7 since losing center Marcin Gortat to a
foot injury.

Adrian Sutil is determined to remain in Formula One for the foreseeable future, saying he has no back-up plan.
After spending the 2012 season on the sidelines, the German returned to Force India at the start of this year and he has done an admirable job scoring 23 points to help the team to fifth in the Constructors' standings.
Although he only signed a one-year contract with the Silverstone squad, he is confident he will remain with them if he continues to perform well on race weekends.
If I do my job well and they are happy, there will be good possibilities to stay," he told the official Formula 1 website. "Sahara Force India will be the first team we talk with about the 2014 season."
As for his plans away from F1, Sutil said: "No plan B. My one and only plan is to have a long and successful career in F1!"
Sutil and Force India are heading to Belgium next and he is confident the team will bounce back after a disappointing outing in Hungary last time out when both cars failed to see the chequered flag.
"Yes, I'm convinced we will be strong in Spa. I like the circuit very much. It's a really challenging one - a racers track! So watch out for us!" he said.

text: Given that Philbin has shown he cannot catch up to the Patriots or produce the kind of offense that he had at Green Bay, what are your thoughts on perhaps bringing in another former Green Bay coach in Mike Holmgren? I am not saying fire Philbin now, but let's say Miami doesn't win the East by the end of the season, I'd say pull the plug and bring in Mike. He has experience in QB development, and if anything, by bringing him in, Miami can perhaps turn Tannehill into a poor man's Favre. It kills two birds with one stone - because it brings in Mike, and as a result, it also means Ireland is gone. Don't get me wrong, I think Philbin is a good OC, but he is in over his head for the coaching job.

Just curious about this. How can I create a simple steering mechanism for a car? Either motorized or non-motorized solutions are fine; just not overly complex.

Essentially you have two parallel beams with one fixed to the car's chassis. The other bar moves horizontally which changes the direction of the wheels. Attach some gears and you can hook it up to a steering wheel.
The steering technique has been used in the Whirl N' Wheel Super Truck (5590) set. The instructions for the set show how an similar rack and pinion mechanism.

Merry Christmas guys, didn't ask for anything this year but of course the wife got me a few things but this Christmas was special. My son just turned 2 in November and he's old enough to know what Santa and presents are. Man, the feeling of waking up this morning and seeing his face when he saw all the presents was priceless. It melted me seeing him open up all the toys and the glow in his eyes. I will always cherish that moment. It was awesome!
BTW..the Heat win topped it off, not to mention I got to meet Ray Allen on Saturday (Got a photo with him and his autograph)
First Christmas with my 6 month old nephew. I got an iPad. Wasn't expecting that but it's pretty sweet.
And now his fires have gone out.
Since I decided I was a good boy this year, I got myself a late Christmas gift the other day ...

Interpretive Handbook
8017 :
Oligoclonal Banding, Serum and Spinal Fluid
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is dependent on clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings. The detection of increased intrathecal immunoglobulin (Ig) synthesis is the basis for current diagnostic laboratory tests for MS. These tests include the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IgG index and CSF oligoclonal band (OCB) detection. Abnormal CSF IgG indexes and OCB patterns have been reported in 70% to 80% of MS patients. At least 1 of these tests has been reported to be positive in 90% of MS patients when both test are performed.
Newer methodologies for OCB detection have been reported to be more sensitive, with sensitivities of 90% to 95% in CSF from MS patients.
Increased intrathecal Ig synthesis may occur in other inflammatory CSF diseases and, therefore, this assay is not specific for MS (specificity = 95%).
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis; especially useful in patients with equivocal clinical presentation and radiological findings
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A finding of 4 or more cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-specific bands (ie, bands that are present in CSF but are absent in serum) is consistent with multiple sclerosis.
The presence of oligoclonal band is unrelated to disease activity.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
These tests are not specific for multiple sclerosis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
CSF Olig Bands Interpretation: <4 bands

Evelyn Waugh's most celebrated work is a memory drama about the intense entanglement of the narrator, Charles Ryder, with a great Anglo-Catholic family. Written during World War II, the story mourns the passing of the aristocratic world Waugh knew in his youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities; in so doing it also provides a profound study of the conflict between the demands of religion and the desires of the flesh.
At once romantic, sensuous, comic, and somber, Brideshead Revisited transcends Waugh's familiar satiric exploration of his cast of lords and ladies, Catholics and eccentrics, artists and misfits, revealing him to be an elegiac, lyrical novelist of the utmost feeling and lucidity.
©1973 Laura Waugh (P)2012 Hachette Audio
The audio version is sublime.
Evelyn Waugh's magnificent prose.
Flawless phrasing; elegant, perfect timing.
This has already been done, as one impeccable broadcast series. And when it aired originally, it was reviewed as television's "finest hour.". That will do.
My audible library approaches 1,000 titles. I rarely submit reviews here on the website, preferring to tweet my impressions and recommendations. But when this title was released yesterday, I rearranged my day around listening.
Jeremy Irons' reading of "Brideshead Revisited" is magnificent.
Secondary, and even ancillary characters are fully realized, in the most surprising and wonderful voices--- Cordelia and Charles Ryder's father in particular. The vulnerable, sometimes diaphinous voicing of Sebastian and Julia Flyte, the narcissistic, calculated stutter of Anthony Blanche; worthless, unremarkable Kurt and lethally charming Lady Marchmain (a paradigm of toxic parenthood) surpass every expectation.
And of course, Jeremy Irons will be our Charles Ryder for all time. His pronounciation of the word 'forerunner' is a lesson for all dramatic actors. Be mindful, readers, that this same narrator's rendition of Nabokov's "Lolita" is considered to be one of the finest ever offered by audible.com.
Performances like this are what every reader and listener hopes for. This title belongs in everyone's library. Buy it, and be spellbound.
"I just don't understand..."
This may be one of my favorite books ever. But why? I don't like any of the characters. They are almost all self absorbed blighted people who hurt others with little compunction. The subject is depressing, the loss of innocence, alcoholism, divorce, lost love, death, the list goes on and on. It ends on the eve of ww2 with the house being neglected and ruined by soldiers stationed there. All is so sad, yet the prose are so wonderful, I feel I must have champagne and strawberries this afternoon. Of course, this book's narration belongs to Jeremy Irons, perfection! Listen before you see the movie (the old one, not the new silly choppy one). Get this book and enjoy Mr. Waugh's masterpiece!
"Great reading, great book"
I've read this book (on paper) maybe a dozen times--it's the book that has defined me more than any other. Irons' reading is exactly what I would hope for, and I am grateful to find it.
"Better than reading the book"
I am a huge fan of Masterpiece Theater's "Brideshead Revisited" and have tried to read the book at least twice. Just could not get through it. But this Audible version is the next best thing to the television production. In it, Jeremy Irons channels all his co-stars from the BBC series - my favorite is his John Geilgud impression - bringing the whole series alive again. He brings Waugh excellent prose to life in a way the physical book just couldn't for me.
"Jeremy Irons is a master!"
There are not enough words to describe how good this audiobook is. The story, in and of itself, is a masterpiece, but Jeremy Irons' rendition is absolutely perfect. He demonstrates once again that he is one of the finest actors of his generation, and his talents are on full display here. His portrayal of every character with their own accents and speech patterns never ceases to impress.
Get this audiobook, and listen to it often. You won't be disappointed.
"Not a happy book"
If you want to listen to something depressing, this book is for you. Well written book and the reader was great, but I don't want to listen to non-stop unhappy. I saw the movie and wanted to see how close it was to the book. I just wanted it to be over.
I grew up on Golden Age Radio, I love to learn about a great many things, and I enjoy a wide variety of genres. Me, bored? Never!
"A Counterpoint to Downton Abbey"
A coworker of mine who's more "literati" than I am heard me talk about how I was surprised to enjoy a series like Downton Abbey, given that it's not typically in my wheelhouse. Since I tend to explore outside my wheelhouse quite frequently where good books are concerned, my coworker suggested this one.
On the surface, this book has quite a bit in common with Downton Abbey. It deals with the decline of the British noble class in the wake of the first world war and the romantic nostalgia it seems to invoke. But that's really where the comparison stops. This book concentrates more on relationships and religion, and how these concepts factor into the shaping of personal identity. I can't really say more without spoilers, but suffice to say, if there was an illusion to the social norm of Britain at this time, this story is all about cracking the facade in the pursuit of personal truth.
My understanding is that the book is semi-autobiographical, which makes sense given the details of personalities and situations. Most of what's here would be highly controversial in the time period it depicts and in the decades since it was written. But I think the ever-changing landscape of what's considered socially acceptable or typical, combined with the fairy tale aspects of life at a British country manor, might offer something new to this generation's readers. As cynical as the story plays at times, there is a singular wit about it as well that makes it accessible.
The characters really make this story what it is, brought to life by Waugh's incredible writing style. Regardless of how much may be drawn from real life, the author made sure to make all of these characters his own, and the result is astounding.
As narrator, Jeremy Irons is a great choice. Having played the lead in the 1981 mini-series adaptation, that's an considerable personal insight into what this story offers. 30+ years of such nostalgia added to a story that plays on that very theme? Perfect. Irons is already impervious to the idea of a bad performance. With this book, his contribution is most definitely the touch of the master's hand.
History enthusiast with military and legal background.
"Perhaps the finest audio book ever"
I felt I was actually in the story, not just listening to it. I felt I was in the room, and part of the family and conversation. It was surreal. Sure the characters are bad people, but aren't we all? The character development is the best I have ever seen.
Avid audible listener for over 10 years.
"Buy for narrator, or if you like Downton Abby"
The story is slightly tedious sometimes, but the narration is impeccable. Jeremy Irons the British actor does an amazing job at narration. This was also a PBS series with Jeremy Irons as one of the characters so he knows the material in and out. You would have no clue that you were not actually listening to several different narrator. Set in England at the same times as the Downton Abby series many of the characters are very similar. You have the overbearing mother, the social climbing friends and the boozy lord of the manor. Be forewarned that the ending is not so happy.
"A beautifully written book about very ugly people"
Brideshead Revisited is a beautifully written book about very ugly people. In fact, by the end of the novel I was actually grateful that Hitler was just off-stage, sharpening The Wehrmacht and readying the iron bombs for dropping on all these self-centered, self-indulgent, wearisome British zombies.
Structurally the novel is perfect and if we were ever to wake up one sunny morning mysteriously conferred by God with the gift of being an editor of literature, Brideshead Revisited would be the new War and Peace. Everything from the wonderful framing of the novel with Charles 'revisiting' the estate, to the beautiful language Waugh writes so effortlessly in, to even the subject matter of the ending of the British aristocracy - it's all quite 'perfect'.
Trouble is, (nearly) everyone in the novel is a priggish snob, a bitter, hateful gossip, a languid zombie of pre-war 'British-ness', a dying relic of a hemorrhaging Empire, and all around a collection of nasty specimens exhibiting the worst of privileged humanity. Worse still, the main character, Charles, floats about through life with a detached aire that would make a ghost jealous.
In Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë managed to write at great length how people can be cruel and nasty and wicked to each other and yet by the end of her masterpiece we loved everyone (even if there was a sense of Stockholm Syndrome to it all). Here, Waugh does not endear the characters to us in any way - we do not care much about them by the end any more than we began the novel with. They change very little.
In Remains Of The Day, Kazuo Ishiguro gave us a similar setting of England on the verge of war with Hitler and an old manor home coming to terms with the new world order. Yet where Ishiguro manages to make a stuffy, detached, brutally professional and dedicated main character (Mr. Stevens) and his master, the naive and member of the old guarde Lord Darlington, Waugh in this novel just shows us how awful these people all are - how out of touch, how insulated they were and how lucky we all are to have had Hitler drop all his bombs on them for half a decade.
Not that showing us the bad side of humanity is a bad thing and I most certainly do not believe art needs to be life-affirming and every novel needs to be populated with a Tolstoy's 'Levin', however, when we have nothing to sympathize with, not even a shred of decency, then we run the risk of not caring anymore what the author's intent was (to show the final decay of British upper-class) and just keep turning the pages because the language is beautiful and hoping someone gets a bomb dropped on their head.
Not that it's all terrible. Sebastian verges on becoming a wonderful character, but he's under utilized and Waugh seems to be counting on the fact that we'll all just be smart enough to see how Sebastian just wants to have fun and not be around miserable people all day long (his family). Yet by the end we have become Sebastian - drunk with Waugh's language and twisted up on the doorstep of a North African monastery in a puddle of our own urine and vomit, the faint flicker of life somewhere in our out-of-focus eyes that lets the monks know we're not quite dead yet and that they should attempt to kindly revive our stupor.
Anyway, Sebastian is written out of the book just past the half-way point and isn't brought up enough again for us to care really what ever may have actually come of him. I think Waugh just forgot to follow the thread of Sebastian being the only likable character in the novel and decided to see how far he could depress the reader.
I might have been able to forgive Waugh a bit more had he been a bit more on-the-nose with his theme of class and 'caste', but he even wrote the modern equivalent of an every-man, Hooper, as a dolt. By the end we just have Charles as a middle manager in the Army, dissatisfied and at the same time almost happy that he, partially, ruined an entire family's life.
Oh, sure, it's not a bad thing that these types of people are no longer around. The fall of this class of British society is no bad thing for humanity and it serves as a reminder to the rest of us 'plebs' how much contempt the upper-classes truly and surely have for us living in the gutter of Rome. We should never forget that there are few noble Levin's and Pierre's in the world because most of the well-to-do are the banks in Steinbeck's 'Grapes of Wrath' or the cheat who tries to blame a crime on a poor prostitute such as in 'Crime in Punishment'. The real world is full of contemptible characters who are glad they 'got theirs' and will make damn sure you don't see any of it and want you to just go away and not muck up the pretty scenery with your dirty, filthy, unwashed, and unclean odors.
And maybe I wanted Waugh to just go all the way - maybe I wanted him to side with the upper classes and not leave us with the final note of gleeful revenge at seeing the end come so painfully to those who deserved it. Maybe if Waugh had been full on conservative and not hinted at the popular liberalness I keep harping on about, then I would have not felt so terrible about all this and could pass it off as a 'Ayn Rand-ian' warning to the well read about how the rich and conservative want to rule the world.
Alas, that's not to be. Waugh leaves us with an unclear image of his true intent, paints an ugly picture with beautiful paint, and manages to just depress the hell out of me.
Finally, for as beautifully written as the novel is, I already feel like I've forgotten most of it. There is such a fleetingness to the whole affair, a lightness to the events of the story that I had a hard time feeling anything that happened was even important. Even the scene on the ship, with its humor, felt empty and shallow.
Maybe what the book lacked, a book that talked so much about religion, lacked a soul. There was no heart in any of it, just indifference, decay, and unimportance in a world that was quickly to become very important with bombs, armies, firebombings - a clearing of the old undergrowth and dead brush.
In the end, not the most interesting subject matter, and at best, the whole thing was not as artful as others have managed to be with somewhat similar subject matter. Go read 'Remains of the Day', 'War and Peace', and 'Wuthering Heights' instead.

The site, located between the old Browns Island landfill and the Willamette River, was badly eroded cropland until the Environmental Services staff enrolled it in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program. Through this federal and state program, hundreds of volunteers planted 45,000 native trees and shrubs along the river on April 15, 2000. These native plants will help control erosion, reduce flood damage to the property, and provide critical wildlife habitat along the Willamette River. A footpath, made from recycled asphalt grindings, loops through the park and provides visitors year around access. An arbor and interpretive signs have been completed on an existing all weather pad also constructed of recycled asphalt grindings and rock. The arbor serves as the entrance to the county park and provides a location to post interpretive signs with information about the CREP, history of the area and aspects of the Willamette River Watershed. There are also several picnic tables located at the arbor and along the river for an afternoon picnic. Please take some time to visit the site and check out the signs and the arbor when you get a chance.

Although people in the United States keep more cats than dogs as pets -- 82 million vs. 72 million -- cats see a veterinarian only about half as frequently as their canine counterparts do.
Why is that?
"I think people sometimes don't go [to the vet] because they think their cat's shots aren't due. But cats should be seen at least once a year," says veterinarian Brian Collins, DVM, lecturer at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's Companion Animal Hospital. "I like to check them every six months if possible."
What happens during a well-cat visit? Probably the most important thing is the "nose to tail" physical exam, says Collins. During the appointment, which can last from 15 to 30 minutes, your veterinarian will check all over your cat's body, looking for signs of disease or anything unusual. For example, he will examine the cat's ears for parasites, such as ear mites. He'll look at the eyes for general retinal health, peer inside your cat's mouth to look for signs of tartar or gum disease, listen to the cat's heart and lungs, and survey the skin for any lesions or bumps. "Basically, we're just looking to see if everything is normal," explains Collins.
The vet will also weigh the cat and assign a body conditioning number from 1 to 9 (or 1 to 5 depending on the scale your vet uses). "The higher the number, the fatter the cat," Collins says. Ideally, you want your cat to score in the middle range, or a 5 on the 1 to 9 scale, which means the cat is at the appropriate weight. "The problems we tend to see most with cats are obesity and dental disease," explains Collins, who notes that obesity is usually more of a problem with older, indoor cats.
Will your cat get vaccinations during the visit? That depends partly on age, Collins says. Kittens usually receive a series of vaccinations for distemper, upper respiratory disease, and rabies. But cats are not necessarily routinely vaccinated for other infectious diseases, such as feline leukemia. "It sort of depends on the lifestyle of the cat," Collins says. Even cats that go outdoors are not necessarily at greater risk for the disease. "They have to have pretty much direct prolonged contact with other cats to get leukemia," explains Collins.
Note, however, that outdoor cats are at a higher risk of disease in general, including viral and parasitic infections, and indoor cats that occasionally get outdoors are often unprotected from infectious diseases as well.
Vaccines for other diseases can vary from annually to every three years, depending on the type of vaccine and your vet's philosophy, says Collins. "When we're trying to determine what vaccinations a cat gets, we always look at each one as an individual rather than as one recommendation for all cats."
Are there ways to make the well-cat visit less stressful for your pet? "The best thing is starting early," says Collins. Ideally, it's best to take your cat for car rides as a kitten and get the cat accustomed to a carrier. Buy a carrier that's comfortable for your cat. Take it out of storage a few days before the visit and make it a safe, fun place, filled with treats or toys, to help make the trip to the vet less stressful. Once at the office, putting a blanket or towel over the carrier may keep the cat calm.
The best part of a well-cat visit? "It's so important to have a relationship [with your veterinarian]," says Collins. "We really focus on preventive care," which can help keep your pet healthy for years to come. "It's not uncommon to see cats approaching 20. Many live into their late teens," particularly with good care.

Team 2012-13: Detroit Pistons (USA-NBA)Career: Alicante (Spain-LEB, 1999-00); Alicante (Spain-ACB, 2000-01); Fuenlabrada (Spain-ACB, 2001-02); Tau Ceramica Vitoria (Spain-ACB, 2002-05); Toronto Raptors (USA-NBA, 2005-13); Detroit Pistons (USA-NBA, 2013-13)
After more than 10 years of stability, Calderon suddenly found himself moving teams mid-season as he was traded from the Toronto Raptors to the Detroit Pistons. The playmaker had spent the past seven full seasons in Toronto after playing the previous four campaigns before that with Vitoria in Spain. The veteran went about his business after the move and improved his stats in nearly every category in Detroit. Despite having reached the other side of 30 years, Calderon can still lead an offence with the best of them. He also improved his three-point shooting accuracy and can be a weapon from long range. With Spain missing some of their big leaders, Calderon will likely have to take on more responsibility offensively if Espana hope to collect a third straight European gold medal. Calderon, who will play next season with the Dallas Mavericks, has captured at least gold or silver in his last five tournaments with the national team.

With work set to begin this month on road improvements at the Waldorf intersection of Route 5 and Old Washington Road, Charles County commissioners' Vice President Reuben B. Collins II is upset about the neglected states of an adjacent Exxon gas station and nearby CSX rail line.
In an email dated Aug. 29, Collins (D) requested that county planning staff look into including the closed gas station among the intersection improvements. In another email Wednesday, he asked that the county's Annapolis delegation push for the speedy repair of rail tracks crossing Route 5 between Old Washington Road and Pika Drive.
Collins said in an interview that the county has been working for more than a year to have CSX fix the rail line, which has sunk below street level to the point that motorists treat the tracks as an unofficial speed bump, routinely slowing traffic in an already-busy corridor.
Following an on-site meeting with CSX and State Highway Administration personnel, county staff were given the impression that funding to repair the tracks would free up once the current fiscal year began July 1, Collins said.
But now the county is being told the funding has been reallocated to repair the rail crossing at U.S. 301 near Route 4 in Prince George's County instead, Collins said.
"We're really responding to issues raised by citizens and, in the eyes of our first responders, the potential issue related to public safety," he added. "The citizen's liaison officer has received a lot of calls, and anybody driving through there knows why."
Collins said he is hoping for "at minimum, some assurance it won't be an additional year" before the Route 5 crossing is repaired.
"Its a big concern of ours, and we're actually the ones that brought this up with the county, and its been over a year now," Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department Station 3 Deputy Chief Jeff Duer said. "The concern is the state of our apparatus and the safety of our personnel."
He said the station is expected to get 15 years out of its fire trucks, "but when you have a crossing like this that has degraded the way it has over the years, it's going to cut down on the life of your apparatus."
Waldorf VFD Chief J.R. Hayden said the crossing also cuts down on emergency response times, either by requiring vehicles to waste precious seconds slowing down, or forcing them to detour when traffic backs up.
"Seconds mean lives in our business, and it's the same thing with the railroad crossing," he said. "We have to come almost to a complete stop, and then it takes a big rig a lot of time to get back up to speed."
Duer said the damage caused from crossing tracks can range from a blown tire to busted suspension, and that it was far from the first time a local CSX crossing had degraded to the point it hindered traffic.
"We've got a lot of citizens that cross that thing every day, and these tire companies that line Route 5 love it. That's a boon to their business," Hayden said.
Duer said that the February meeting with CSX and SHA officials left the impression that the crossing would be fixed before the end of this month.
The plan coming out of the meeting was for that section of Route 5 to be shut down for three days while repairs were conducted, with emergency vehicles allowed access after one day, Hayden said. The U.S. 301 crossing was mentioned at the meeting as having the higher priority, but state officials implied there was enough funding for both projects, he added.
"The state's done a great job of replacing the 'BUMP' signs," Duer quipped. "There's brand new 'BUMP' signs up there."
SHA officials did not return a request for comment by press time.
As for the neglected gas station, which sits at the intersection of the northbound lanes of Route 5 and Old Washington Road, Collins said it pains him the most of any "eyesore" in the county due to its potential. The intersection lies at the southern end of the Waldorf Urban Redevelopment Corridor, the area proposed by the county's plan to transform Waldorf into a high-density urban center that can support light rail transit.
"That area, from my perspective, is at the heart of Waldorf and the heart of that redevelopment area, and I just think psychologically, seeing improvements in that area would have tremendous value for citizens of the county, particularly individuals that live in Waldorf," he said.
Collins pictures "a walkable setting that could buttress the shops that exist there now," but "[o]n a grander scale, incorporate that into what could potentially be some kind of town center.
"That is a valuable piece of real estate, and I think with the redevelopment plan, that will be a centerpiece and have a tremendous future. I think our minds are almost clouded to the potential that lies in that area."
Collins said he had even planned to stage the awards presentation of his Waldorf Beautification Project initiative at the property in order to draw attention to its condition.
"I just thought more than anything, that location embodies, there's no other way to look at it but as urban blight," he added.
Collins called the county's lack of authority to hold landowners responsible for the condition of their properties "troublesome."
"Our inability to really address those types of properties, to kind of really push the owners to invest in some type of limited improvements or at least maintenance. So, that's something as a board that we've discussed how we could do that, to force these landowners and give some incentive to maintain these properties " he said.

I leave Melbourne with mixed emotions, but overall I'm happy. I played some good tennis and only lost to a great player who is maybe the very best on the Tour at the moment.
It's been an exhausting month of tournaments. I played three tournaments in a row and it took a lot out of me. I've decided not to go back to Europe for the Fed Cup. I've only just recovered from the virus I picked up during the Australian Open, and I'm going to be very careful with my schedule and traveling this year, considering the Olympics and the packed summer months.
The Olympics are a big priority for me this year and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I am in top shape for them, which unfortunately means skipping some events I was tempted to play during the first half of the year.
Probably the biggest positive for me during the Australian Open was the improvement in my serve. I felt it becoming a weapon again, and not something that I had to worry about, and that's huge. It's no secret that when your serve is working, the other parts of your game seem to click.
This is an area Nigel and I worked hard on during the off-season and of course there is still lots of room for improvement. Another area I want to improve in is being more aggressive, but that comes with confidence and I'm feeling better on court with each match.
Nigel is great to have around, to help me stay grounded in terms of my ambitions. He reminds me that it is a long process and we should not get too down if we don't get the results tomorrow - they will come eventually, I really believe that.
I think it's true in all areas of life and not just in tennis - hard work pays off!
Thanks for all your support during the Australian summer.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The 76th Annual Ramada All-College Basketball Classic was Saturday night at the newly renovated Chesapeake Energy Arena. The University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University teams participated in this year's event.
OU is off to a great start under first-year Coach Lon Kruger, and they continued their winning ways with a hard-fought 79-74 victory over the Houston Cougars in the opening game.
The Sooners (8-1) are off to their best start since the 2008-09 season. Kruger's team is playing great defense and getting balanced scoring from several players this season.
McALESTER — The Christmas Break did not begin on a high note for the Poteau High School basketball teams Saturday at Brumley Gym.
The Lady Pirates fought valiantly, but fell short in a 57-49 loss to the McAlester Lady Buffaloes.
The Buffaloes made it a sweep for the locals as they defeated the Pirates 50-40.
ROGERS, Ark. — The Poteau Youth Wrestling Club had several participants and several placers at last weekend's Rumble in Rogers.
Wyatt Snapp took home first place, while Bryce Edwards was runner-up.
Several athletes came in third place in the tournament — Jarrett Lilley, Ross Johnson, Jarrod Vineyard, Remington Reed, Gavin Morgan, Charles Graham, Kadin Repass and Drexton Brown.
Dakota James and Dax Collins were fourth.
Parker Killion, Race Williams, Caden Warren, Ethan Carey, Dalton Edwards, Drayden Brown and Bryson Terry also competed, but did not medal.
Coach Jim Henderson was a man who loved football, and all kinds of sporting events. He knew that I love trivia, and he was always asking me some form of trivia. One question he asked me was, "What was the name of General Ulysses S. Grant's horse?" Everyone said, Cincinnati.
Henderson was an expert on boxing trivia, also. But the area in which he thrived was football trivia.
He asked me the question I had in my column last week — Can you name the state that has at least three colleges which have won national championships besides Florida?
In Saturday's edition, Mark Goines' "Hooked on Fishin'" Column had the wrong times for his show on his new network listed.
The correct times will be 5:30 a.m. Saturdays and 6:30 a.m. Sundays on KFSM Channel 5.

Niki Lauda says it is "ridiculous" to boo Sebastian Vettel as it's not his fault that he's destroying the competition...
Niki Lauda says it is "ridiculous" to boo Sebastian Vettel as it's not his fault that he's destroying the competition.
Not for the first time this season the Red Bull racer was booed by a section of the crowd as he celebrated his latest grand prix victory on the Singapore podium.
The German won the race by a massive 33 seconds over Fernando Alonso in what was more of a procession than a contest. But, as Lauda pointed out, that's not Vettel's fault.
"It's ridiculous, these people don't understand what the guy is doing," the triple World Champ told Sky Sports.
"I take my hat off to his performance because the guy was leading the race from the first lap onwards, could have lapped everybody and if I could choose I would give him the World Championship for this drive.
"For me he was outstanding. Vettel did nothing wrong.
"The same happened in Italy because they love Ferrari. But if Ferrari was better they wouldn't have to boo the other guy, it's very simple."

Barriers put in on Butler Street overpass
I hate those things...time for the locals to re-arrange their lives. All the street lights are a longer wait even if it is 5am. Don't even mention gas prices or going to a local restaurant.....we're going to pay through the teeth
well if the county jail isnt over crowded now they will be really soon ,
Cedar point is about to open
Great, now we'll get to hear all the usual people complaining because it takes them an extra 3 minutes to drive down 250.
I just wish they would have put them another 10 feet down the hill to the south. I was almost at the top of the hill on top of them before I could see them yesterday. Oh well. Welcome summer!
YAHOO...money comin into town and Erie County ! What would this area be without Cedar Point and the tax dollars they attract? Don't like it? Visit or MOVE to Helena Ohio. You'll be back !

Perhaps the most famous trick deck of all time, the incredible Svengali Deck does the most amazing magic- it turns you into a magician INSTANTLY!
And this particular deck is Bridge size, which means it is a bit narrower than a Bicycle deck, so it is easier to handle, especially for children.
The Svengali Deck is constructed using an ingenious secret gimmick, something that lets you perform stunning card magic tricks as soon as you take the deck out of the box! No special skill is needed, no previous experience with magic is necessary!
This is the most popular trick deck we sell!
Pull a card from the deck, replace it, and all the cards in the deck now change to match the chosen card! Let a spectator choose a card- and the card instantly appears in your pocket! Command a card to appear on the top, in the middle, or on the bottom of a deck- wherever you stop riffling, the chosen card is on top! And more! LOTS MORE!
Please note that because of the mechanics of this deck, it contains only 48 cards. That's all the deck is supposed to have!
Sorry, you cannot choose the force card you will get. The card decks are sealed, so there is no way for us to tell what force card is inside the deck you are getting.
The Svengali Deck was introduced by Burling Hull in 1909.In the 1960s, magician Marshall Brodien sold millions of these decks, calling them TV Magic Cards. Marshall Brodien played "Wizzo" on WGN-TV's Bozo Show, broadcast from Chicago.The Force Deck principle appears in magic books as early as 1560. Interested in magic history?

WE DID IT, AMERICA – Hope Is Alive And Lies And Hatred Lost!
I couldn't be more proud of this great country of America on this November 7, 2012. It is a monumental day in our history.
Personally, I'm not letting anyone rain on my parade today, any negativity will be greeted with a smile and positive words about our future.
My granddaughter wants to thank you for giving her a shot at a future – a Supreme Court that will protect her rights and a world where she has the same opportunities as men.

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

Planning bosses told to reject South Lakes turbine bid
Last updated at 17:03, Thursday, 29 November 2012
PLANS for a wind turbine close to a candle factory were set to be knocked back.
South Lakeland District Council's planning committee was today set to hear plans for a 61m turbine at land adjacent to Wax Lyrical in Lindal.
The plans have been submitted by Chris Rawlinson, with the 500kw turbine proposed to help power the candle factory.
However 16 objections have been raised against the plans and the committee was being recommended to reject the plans.
In a report prepared for the meeting, the planning officer concludes that the structure would have a negative impact on the area.
They said: "Although it is recognised that the wind turbine will have wider environmental, economic and energy benefits, it is considered that in this case the harmful visual impact of the proposed turbine outweighs the potential benefits and the application is recommended for refusal."
In a statement prepared for the committee, Mr Rawlinson said the turbine would provide almost enough power to run the factory.
He said: "The proposal has been driven by the high energy demand of the candle manufacturing plant for which the turbine would supply electrical power. It would provide power directly to the factory with a grid connection for occasions when the output exceeds the demand for electricity, such as times between larger orders when production may be down. The anticipated annual output of a turbine of this size and wind resource is a very close match to the annual average electricity power use of the factory."
Residents raised several fears about the development in the letters of objection, including the visual impact, the effect it would have on wildlife and the impact of shadow flicker and noise.
Urswick, Pennington and Lindal and Marton Parish Councils were consulted on the plans and all issued objections.
A statement issued by Lindal and Marton Parish Council said: "It was proposed and seconded that the parish council decline to support the application because it would be unacceptably obtrusive because of its size in this area of open countryside. There were three votes in favour with one against and the proposal was carried."
A final decision was to be made by members of the committee, which was due to meet at the District Council Chamber, South Lakeland House in Kendal at 10am today.

Have your say
In 1987 I bought a house valued by an 'estate agent' at £18,000.
This valuation has no basis on anything other than this estate agents guess that he or she could get for the property in the then 'current marketplace'.
As it happened I didn't have £18,000 in the bank so it wasn't 'affordable'. To go ahead and buy it I had to borrow money as a loan secured not on the property but on the 'estimated valuation' aka a guess made by someone else calling themselves a valuer which resulted in my good self being shackled to a mortgage for 25 years.
Back then everyone was doing it, signing up to loans they couldn't afford I mean.So in the total absence of any kind of sanity the bank/building society/loan company will in effect buy a home for someone as long as four people make the correct guesses.1. The estate agent guesses a value people are willing to pay.
2. A valuer guesses a value that the loan company people hope will cover their 'loan' (it isn't really a loan but I'll leave that for another day) should repossession be required.
3. The loan arranger guesses that the person applying will be able to make the repayments plus interest over the term of the loan.
4. The person doing the buying guesses that they will always be able to afford the repayments for the period of the loan.So what is an affordable home?
One you can afford to buy from your own means without getting yourself in hock to a loan company.Homes the majority in this land can afford are as rare as hens teeth. So much so that I would venture to suggest that for the majority of the population there is no such thing as an affordable home.If anyone else has a different take on this then let's hear it.
Note to moderator...
Consider this humble commenter suitably astonished.

Bridgeport Hospital Named One of Nation's Cardiovascular Hospitals?Again!
Bridgeport Hospital has been named one of Americas
100 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by Solucient, an
independent healthcare rating organization. We
are the only hospital in Connecticut to make the
Top 100 list in 2005 and 2006.
Solucient analyzed Americas top-performing hospitals
and identified 100 across the country (among them
The Mayo Clinic Hospital, Massachusetts General
and Bridgeport Hospital) that are setting benchmark
levels of performance for cardiovascular services.
This award is further evidence of the high quality
of care provided in the Heart Institute at
Bridgeport Hospital.
Stroke? Think FAST!
If a friend or relative were having a stroke, what would you do? Call 9—1—1, of course. But what if you weren't
sure it was a stroke? And what if the victim told you, "Don't worry, I've had this beforeI'll be fine in a
minutelet's wait until my doctor calls back before we go to the emergency department. After all, what if it
turns out to be nothing to worry about?" What would you do then? Think FAST—your response could save
your friend's life!
FAST is an acronym to help you remember the most common signs of a stroke.
F: FACE—numbness or weakness especially on one side of the face.
A: ARM—numbness or weakness especially in one arm or one side of the body.
S: SPEECH—slurred speech or difficulty speaking or understanding.
T: TIME—to immediately call 911 and note the time symptoms started or the last time your friend seemed to be feeling normal.
Other symptoms include a sudden severe headache with no known cause, sudden difficulty seeing with one or both eyes, and sudden dizziness or loss of balance.
Remembering FAST can help you understand when it really is a stroke.
So What Is a Stroke?
"A stroke, sometimes called a brain attack,' occurs when the flow of blood to a portion of the brain is blocked by
a blood clot (ischemic stroke, the most common form), or the blood vessel bursts (hemorrhagic stroke)," explains
emergency medicine physician Jonathan Maisel, MD, Co—Director of the Stroke Center at Bridgeport Hospital.
A brain scan must be performed to determine which type of stroke a person is experiencing.
What's the Hurry?
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the US. It's as serious as a heart attack. Yet unfortunately, according to the American Stroke Association, the average stroke patient waits more than 12 hours before going to the
emergency departmentwhich means that many of them die before they can be helped. The frustrating thing is that for victims of ischemic stroke, reaching the hospital within three hours of the first symptom
can improve the chance of a full recovery by as much as 33 percent. This is because the powerful drug tPA(tissue plasminogen activator), when given within three hours, can stop ischemic stroke, save lives and preserve mental function.
Bottom line: When it comes to stroke, time is brain so the sooner your friend gets to the emergency department, the better! The best thing to do is have him/her taken to a Stroke Center like Bridgeport Hospital for rapid
diagnosis and prompt life—saving treatment.
Risk Factors for Stroke
"To reduce your chances of having a stroke, modify as many of your risk factors as possible," says neurologist
Philip Barasch, MD, Co—Director of the Stroke Center at Bridgeport Hospital. The major risk factors are
listed below.
High blood pressure: This is the most important risk factor for stroke. Have your pressure checked regularly and
follow your physician's advice for treatment.
Smoking: Smoking increases your risk. Smoking combined with the use of contraceptive pills greatly increases stroke
risk in women.
Diabetes Mellitus: Careful management is critical.
Carotid or other artery disease: If you have been diagnosed with carotid stenosis or peripheral artery
disease, you are at greater risk.
Atrial fibrillation: This heart rhythm disorder, in which the upper heart chambers quiver instead of beating in an
orderly way, is associated with increased risk for stroke.
Heart disease or heart attack: People with coronary artery disease or heart failure have more than twice the risk
of stroke. Other problems, such as heart valve disease and some congenital heart defects, raise stroke risk as well.
TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack): TIAs are called "little strokes" or "mini—strokes" because they produce
stroke—like symptoms that go away and leave no lasting
damage. About half of the people who have a TIA will
have a stroke within one year.
Age: Your risk doubles after age 55.
Heredity and race: If you have a blood relative who
has had a stroke and/or if you are African American,
you are at a greater risk.
Gender: More men have strokes than women, but more
women die of stroke. Birth control pills and pregnancy
pose special stroke risks for women.
Other risk factors: Sickle cell disease, blood cholesterol
levels over 200, physical inactivity, obesity and
excessive alcohol.
Paying attention to signs and symptoms and seeking
medical help at the first signs of a stroke can mean the
difference between a full recovery and serious loss of
functioneven death. So when it comes to stroke,
think FAST!
The Stroke Center at Bridgeport Hospital
At Bridgeport Hospital's Stroke Center, timeliness is the
key to success. "We supervise and manage all aspects of
every stroke victim's care, from the moment they call 911
to their discharge from the hospital to their home or
rehabilitation center," says Stroke Center Coordinator
Cathy Wright, RN, MS, CCRN. Expert teams of hospital
staff members are available 24/7 to care for any patient
with a stroke.

out for a while.
I rolled my left ankle on hole 8 at Seatac on Sunday. Doctor says there is nothing broken so that's good. I will be in an "AirCast" for 6 weeks along with some PT to learn some exercises to strengthen the muscles around the joint. For the moment I am using a cane to help get some of the weight off of my leg when I walk.
When I am able to walk normal with the "AirCast" on I may come out and walk the course and drink some beer with the fellas. I could be the cheering section or something like that.

East Tennessee State Men's Golfers Finish 13th at the Carpet Capital Classic
Sunday, October 07, 2001The East Tennessee State men's golfers finished in 13th place at the Carpet Capital Classic from The Farm in Dalton, Ga.

Detective Ed Wilcher faced a darkened room, clicking through his presentation on the youth gangs in Montgomery County.
His audience Friday at Northwest High School in Germantown was about 20 school security staff from Montgomery County Public Schools, who were there to get an update on some of the groups they'll be partly responsible for monitoring when school opens on Monday.
Wilcher, of the Montgomery County Police Department, said police are currently tracking 33 gangs, ranging from major organizations such as the Crips, Bloods and MS-13 to smaller neighborhood crews that operate within small local territories.
Friday's information session was one of two that the county's school security staff will have, said Alyson Baber, one of six security coordinators for Montgomery County Public Schools. There will be another in January after winter break.
Along with Wilcher's presentation on gangs, security staff received briefings on drugs, bombs and an introduction on how to conduct investigations, among other things, Baber said.
Each of Montgomery's 25 high schools has one security team leader and five assistants, except for Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring — the largest school in the county with more than 2,800 students — which has more, she said.
Middle schools generally have two security officers, Baber said.
There are also 15 school resource officers, police officers stationed in schools to help deal with security issues. While security officers are based out of the high schools, they often visit other schools as part of their rounds, Baber said.
Each member of the staff wore a dark blue shirt Friday with "Security" written across the back in block letters.
The security teams are required to wear their uniforms whenever they're working, and they're introduced at school orientations along with members of the administration, Baber said.
"We want that visibility," she said.
The security teams handle a wide variety of responsibilities, from student fights and investigating reports of misbehavior to escorting disruptive students to administrators' offices and directing traffic in the morning, Baber said. In one classroom, Lt. Matt Trivett of the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue bomb squad showed examples and videos of various types of pipe bombs to demonstrate their power and effectiveness.
He also had a replica of a device taken from Columbine High School in Colorado, site of an infamous 1999 massacre of students and faculty, that had two pipe bombs strapped to the top of a cylindrical propane tank.
He also talked to the security staff about how to handle more mundane but still serious issues.
School starts Monday, so by Wednesday or Thursday they'll probably have their first fire in a school restroom, probably a middle or high school boys' restroom, Trivett said.
He advised anyone who encounters such a situation to seal off the area and call police so the fire can be investigated before anyone is allowed to use the restroom again.
In another room, Wilcher told those in his session that gangs are becoming more and more technologically savvy.
The Internet is the new virtual street corner, a place for gang members to boast about their exploits and recruit new members.
Members have Twitter handles and post pictures and videos to sites such as Facebook and YouTube, he said.
Gang violence often exists below the surface of even some of the best schools in the county, and new groups can spring up quickly, he warned.
"Don't underestimate these groups just because you've never heard of them," he said.

ETSU men's tennis picked first in preseason A-Sun poll; Gille and Bandres receive honors
Requires Adobe Flash
Thursday, January 20, 2011
MACON, Ga.
(Jan. 20, 2011) -
The ETSU men's tennis team has been tabbed as favorites to win the Atlantic Sun Conference according to A-Sun head coaches, the league office announced today. In addition, ETSU junior
Sander Gille
Kuringen, Belgium
) was named A-Sun preseason singles player of the year, while Gille and teammate
Jesus Bandres
(Caracas, Venezuela) were selected as preseason doubles team of the year.
"I understand that the standard has been raised and it is certainly flattering to receive this nomination, but our players as well as our coaching staff know that this does not mean anything," said ETSU head coach
Yaser Zaatini
. "The fact is that we have to play it out and it will ultimately come down to the final point in the conference tournament to see who goes to nationals."
The Bucs were picked in the poll just ahead of Stetson, who finished last season just behind the Bucs in the final league standings. ETSU also defeated Stetson in the final of the A-Sun Tournament in 2010. UNF followed in third, USC Upstate was picked fourth, and Campbell rounded out the top-five. Jacksonville, Mercer, Belmont, Florida Gulf Coast, Kennesaw State, and Lipscomb completed the poll.
Head coach
Yaser Zaatini
and the Bucs earned a 16-8 record in 2010, while ETSU earned its fourth straight Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Championship. The Bucs also picked up their second ever NCAA victory after knocking off No. 32-ranked Alabama.
"Over the past few years we have obviously maintained a high standard of achievement in the conference," added
. "We don't take anything for granted but have been able to pull it through. There is a lot of parity within the conference because there are potentially up to five teams that can win it all, but we will take this as motivation and we will keep playing tennis like we have a big bull's eye on our back. We will go out and try to defend our blue and gold colors throughout the year."
capped off an incredible season with the A-Sun Men's Tennis Player of the Year award. Gille finished the 2010 spring season with a 14-6 overall record and a perfect 10-0 mark in Atlantic Sun Conference play. In addition, Gille was named the Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP after leading the Bucs to their fourth straight tournament crown.
"Sander being named as a potential player of the year is an incredible individual honor," said Zaatini. "At the same time it is going to be a team effort, because he can win all of his matches and it will only give us one point. So, we need to come through and be able to put a full team effort into action and take it from there, but it is also a great honor to be recognized as an individual at any point."
The doubles team of Gille and Bandres are coming off a 15-6 season, while playing primarily in the number two doubles slot for the Bucs. The duo also finished the season with a five match winning streak.
"Jesus has had the best fall of anyone on the team and is ranked No. 73 in the nation," added Zaatini. "So congratulations to them. They have earned that right and I hope we can prepare them to play solid tennis this spring."
The Bucs recently earned a No. 51 national ranking by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and Bandres was ranked No. 73 in the individual singles rankings.
ETSU gets its season underway on Friday when they travel to Knoxville and take on No. 3 Tennessee for a rematch of last season's NCAA Tournament second round match. The Vols advanced to the NCAA Final last season in which they eventually fell to USC. The match between the Bucs and Vols will get underway at 2 p.m.

Lake Tahoe
Teenage Juan crashes his family's car into a telegraph pole on the outskirts of town, and then scours the streets searching for someone to help him fix it. His quest will bring him to Don Heber, an old paranoid mechanic whose only companion is Sica, his almost human boxer dog; to Lucía, a young mother who is convinced that her real place in life is as a lead singer in a punk band, and to "The One who Knows", a teenage mechanic obsessed with martial arts and Kung Fu philosophy. The absurd and bewildering worlds of these characters drag Juan into a one day journey in which he will come to accept what he was escaping from in the first place--an event both as natural and inexplicable as a loved one's death.

Penn State's plan to remove the Joe Paterno statue, which was tweeted this morning by Kimberly Jones of NFL Network/WFAN and Bonnie Bernstein, appears to be premature. Laura Nichols of StateCollege.com has spoken to a trustee who denied that there was any such vote taken last night:
Penn State Board member Capt. Ryan McCombie said "We did no such thing," re: voting to take down Joe Paterno statue, made no more comment.

The Jumbo Sponge Ball is an excellent magic prop that has so many uses! Change a regular sponge ball into this jumbo one just like Monticup does in the video demo. Or produce it from any production box, change bag, etc. Though the Jumbo Sponge Ball does not come with any instructions, you can use it in any sponge ball routine. Find instruction and ideas in the sponge balls books and DVDs listed below.
This is a quality-made soft sponge ball, made specifically to compress really small. What a surprise when it seems to appear from nowhere! And it's a super large 4-inch size! Great to be seen from a distance if necessary!
Note: This sponge may be too large for some children's hands to handle. We also carry regular sponge balls (see products below), which may be a better choice for very small hands.
The product photo shows the Jumbo Sponge Ball with three smaller balls. The photo shows you how large the Jumbo Sponge Ball is in comparison to the smaller, 1.5" sponge balls. Also, the photo gives you an idea of the colors available. You are buying ONE Jumbo Sponge ball- the smaller balls are not included. And, of course, the 4" mark is just on the photo, it is not printed on the ball.
This jumbo sponge ball makes an excellent ending to your regular sponge ball routine. Get a Jumbo Sponge Ball in a color to match your sponge balls set.

You Might Be A Welder If:
You've been fixing a crack in a friends transmission bellhousing overhead, before feeling the wonderful sensation of molten aluminum brush past your genitals.
You've finished a weld on the roll cage you were fitting to a miata, before squirming around like a worm on a fish hook, trying to get the spatter out of your welding leathers.
You've ever been set on fire from grinding sparks, after finishing your welds unscathed.
You look like you changed skin colors after grinding all your welds flush with the base.
You can no longer go to a car show because you tear the welds on the displays apart more than you look at the cars.
You forget that you are on a time limit at the library, and almost miss posting this.

ORLANDO, Fla. There's at least one team apparently still with a need for Rasheed Wallace.
CSNNE.com has learned that the former Boston Celtic forward plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Wallace hasn't played in an NBA game since Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, alerting the C's shortly before the game that he planned to retire.
Although he had two years remaining on his contract, Wallace and the Celtics came to terms on a buy-out of the remaining years believed to be worth about $1 million.
His return to action has been rumored for weeks, fueled by a decent showing at Pro-Am tournament in North Carolina this summer.
It only became heightened by, according to league sources, a renewed conditioning regimen that apparently has him looking better than he has "in years."

On Saturday, Dec. 7, 2013, Orlando Science Center unveiled the new enclosure for Teddy the Tegu in a special presentation reserved for the project's donors.
Thanks to their support and a 50% match by OUC, $4,550 was raised this past summer which resulted in a new habitat for Teddy. Contributors were invited for a light breakfast to learn about Teddy's new home from Science Center staff and get up close with the reptile.
The general public can meet Teddy the Tegu when he officially moves in early next year.
