Preventing Wheel-Off Accidents
If there is one type of tire/wheel accident that every fleet fears the most, it has to be one that involves a loose wheel - or two. And when we say loose, we mean separated from the vehicle so it resembles a 200-pound unguided missile.
Since 1997, the Tire Industry Association (TIA) has trained and certified almost 50,000 technicians on the procedures they can follow to prevent wheel-off accidents. TIA has also partnered with companies like Alcoa and Michelin to produce educational videos that tire and transportation companies can use to reinforce the importance of following industry guidelines for installing all types of wheels and rims. Yet, despite all of these efforts, wheel-off accidents continue to occur, and people continue to suffer serious and fatal injuries as a result.
Recognizing how the impact of a loose truck tire and wheel assembly can destroy a car is the key to understanding how these accidents can be prevented. TIA released a free video called Wheel End Safety (available at www.tireindustry.org) so the industry can see firsthand what happens when a tire travelling at 55 mph strikes a stationary vehicle. The damage is compelling, and when you consider how it would be exponentially worse when a loose truck tire and wheel assembly strikes a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction, the consequences become very real.
So, TIA developed a list of five facts that every fleet must understand in order to prevent wheel-off accidents. A thorough understanding of these facts won't eliminate the chances simply because anything mechanical can fail even after the most thorough inspection and perfect installation. But TIA is positive that they are the keys to developing an effective wheel torque program that reduces the chances of a wheel-off and improves the performance.
1. Make sure that every technician who removes or installs wheels and rims from the vehicle is properly trained. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation 29 CFR 1910.177 requires training for all employees that service truck tires and wheels. Since the OSHA definition of "service" includes removing and installing, even the mechanics that do not perform "tire work" must be trained if they handle the assemblies in any way.
If the technicians in the tire department are trained to follow the proper procedures, yet the mechanics do not follow those same procedures after brake, wheel end or suspension service, fleets should expect loose wheels.
2. Torque is not a magic potion. Pulpit-bangers that scream "torque, torque, torque" are usually the ones that are most interested in the collection plate. They want to scare fleets into buying the latest torque machine, and once they get the sale, they're never heard from again.
Yes, it is true that proper torque is extremely important. But it's equally true that there are a number of additional factors that will either prevent or contribute to loose wheels. Any supplier that tries to tell a fleet differently should be avoided like preachers that live in mansions and drive luxury cars while their flock struggles to make rent.
3. Impact wrenches are not torque control devices. The keys to all torque control devices are accuracy and repeatability.
Torque limiting adaptors (torque sticks) are considered by some to be precision instruments that can harness the raw power of impact wrenches so they deliver the proper amount of force every time. In order for the adaptor to work, the wrench should have 90 psi of running pressure, and the technician must know when to stop hammering so the repeatability is at best questionable while the accuracy is marginal.
Fleets love the feeling that they're doing something to prevent loose wheels and keeping the technicians happy. Until they lose a wheel and find out that TIA and the wheel companies do not recommend them for installing wheels or rims.
4. Torque wrenches are precision instruments that require calibration. This is one place where TIA, the wheel companies and the torque wrench manufacturers are in complete agreement. Using a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners on a wheel is a lot more difficult and labor-intensive when compared to the impact wrench - with or without the torque stick. But, more and more fleets are realizing it's the most economical and effective approach, so they're making the investment in these tools.
However, if the tool itself is not properly maintained or calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer, it's providing a false sense of security simply because an inaccurate torque wrench will probably cause an accident at some point.
5. There are different procedures for installing different types of wheels or rims, but they all include proper torque. There are three major wheel and rim systems used in North America and they each have their own specific installation and inspection procedures.
For example, fastener lubricant is required on hub-pilot systems, but the wrong type of lubricant can actually reduce the amount of clamping force that is created with the proper torque. Once again, the fleet tries to do the right thing by ensuring that a torque wrench is used to tighten the flange nut only to have everything come undone because the technician was out of 30-weight oil.
When all of the proper steps for inspecting and installing rims or wheels are followed and then the proper torque is applied in a star pattern, the chances of a loose wheel are minimal. Change something or miss a step and all bets are off.
TIA recently completed an update of its Fleet Tire Service OSHA Compliance Program that is designed to help trucking and transportation companies comply with federal regulations for employee training. The new material has an increased emphasis on the relationship between torque and clamping force so technicians have a better understanding of how they can take steps to ensure that wheels or rims do not become loose.
TIA is confident that the procedures outlined in the program will have a positive effect if they are followed on a daily basis.
For more information on how this training can become the foundation for an effective wheel torque program, contact TIA at 800-876-8372, ext. 106, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is an international association representing all segments of the tire industry, including those that manufacture, repair, recycle, sell, service or use new or retreaded tires, and also those suppliers or individuals who furnish equipment, material or services to the industry. TIA was formed by the July 2002 merger of the International Tire & Rubber Association (ITRA) and the Tire Association of North America (TANA). The TIA's main office is in Bowie, Maryland. The association has more than 6,000 current members.

To say I'm dreading watching the WTA's Indian Wells ladies' draw play out over the coming week or so is an understatement - maybe I'd rather have my fingernails pulled off.
With no Serena or Venus Williams in sight (due to their yearly, now tiresome boycott - isn't forgiveness a virtue in their religion?) and Maria Sharapova only committing to doubles after 7 months on injured reserved, here's what we're left with as the top 10 seeds (full draw here):
1. Dinara Safina
2. Jelena Jankovic
3. Elena Dementieva
4. Vera Zvonareva
5. Ana Ivanovic
6. Svetlana Kuznetsova
7. Agnieszka Radwanska
8. Victoria Azarenka
9. Caroline Wozniacki
10. Marion Bartoli
Dinara as the top seed is bent over, gut-wrenching, "you're killing me" laughable. I mean, she hasn't been able to put a serve in the box all year. And the rest of the list, maybe with the possible exception of teen queens Vika + Wozzi, are already members of the WTA's No Confidence Club. The other two haven't been around long enough yet to earn membership but let's take a wait and see approach, shall we?
I really have little interest in waiting to see which lady baller will grab this prestigious title by making the least amount of unforced errors and double faults.
I'd rather take the first train to Yawnsville, please.

Awesome post Rich -- too funny (well, actually too sad) b/c I was thinking the same thing about this tournament.
Heads-up ladies, if your last name isn't Williams, it is EXCRUCIATINGLY painful to watch you play; withdraw immediately from whatever sports psychology sessions you attend and enroll in the Nadal/Henin approach. I don't care how much talent/game you have, you have to COMPETE.
You are killing the WTA, no seriously, murdering it match by match. At this point, you barely deserve prize money, let alone equal prize money (ooops, oh yeah, I said it).
Wow, this was harsh and long-winded, can you tell how annoyed I am with these ladies. ;)
-Tin - AnonymousMarch 10, 2009 at 10:22 AM
I'm not a big fan of the William sisters so I could care less if they were in the draw or not :P
Anyways, I'll be rooting for my girls Jelena, Agnieszka and Victoria :D :D :D
Ajde Jelena!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree that the top half of the draw looks like a yawn fest, with Safina, Kuze, and Zvonareva the highest seeds. But I think the bottom half has some potential - with Dementieva, Ivanovic, Jankovic, and some great young challengers like Cibulkova, Cornet and Kleybanova.
But I agree that overall, this tournament feels a little like the recent men's Dubai tournament - especially after Murray withdrew. Gonna think positive, though - Paris had my favorite final of the year - Dementieva vs. Mauresmo!- johanneMarch 10, 2009 at 10:58 AM
RiCH: Hilarious post. *Positive Patty alert* But maybe because (seemingly) everyone's expectations are so low and/or non-existent right now, maybe something magical will happen! I mean think of Dokic at the AO...something very cool could go down! You never know! Me, I have my eyes on Wozzy (LOVE) and Azarenka. I really hope these 2 ladies prove to be the real deal. If not at this tourney, at some point in the season...please! They're so young and (seemingly) so full of potential. Would be nice to see one of them step it up. Anyways, that's my 2 cents :)
ReplyDelete I like that plan - I'll take on any 6, 7, 8-year old any day, any time, any place.
Bring it youngins!
In fact, their daughter Jaz Elle should just enter the IW draw, you know get a head start on her tennis career. She might win actually and become World No. 2 by year's end. I draw the line at ReRe - I think she could take the youngin.I agree the top 10 bar the Williams sisters is in a little bit of a mess the fact that Dinara is the number 1 seed is a little laughable. I just think we are lacking the big stars and personalities we had 3 to 5 years ago. These girls also need to learn how to hit more than 3 shots in a rally in. Masha cant come back quick enough my excitement and care factor for the WTA has been so minimal the last couple of months if it wasnt for Venus and Serena I probably wouldnt be watching at all.

Women's tennis has been in the dumps for years now. Just can't get excited about them or their error and choke filled sloppy boring matches. All the good action is on the men's side.
As for the Williams sisters, I agree, whatever went down at IW it's time to forgive and move on. There are so many fans over there who would love to see them play. - Jonus : )March 10, 2009 at 4:10 PM
I think it is bullshit for anyone to say that the Williams sisters should forgive and forget. People were yelling out racial slurs before and after the match. It's more of the boycott of the people. I wouldn't go back to a tournament if stuff like that went down. Just face it people they are NEVER going back to Indian wells. I am rooting for Dokic or ivanovic. It'll be a sad day for womens tennis when the willams' retire.

i'll adopt a wait & see approach, at least ana is still there. i think azarenka has a good draw, this may be her breakout tournament.

The WS aren't the only ones in the world who've had racial slurs thrown their way (remember all the race riots at the Aussie Open this year and last?). If the WS are so emotionaly fragile that they'd allow one group of idiots get to them like that well then congrats to the racists, they did something few can claim to do: they won, they beat the Williams sisters. These insignificant band of losers wield enough power to control the Williams sisters for years, to make them bitter, and to control the scheduling of a tournament. Wow! That's an awful lot of power the sisters gave up to total strangers. I know I'd never allow anybody to have that kind of power over me. - AnonymousMarch 10, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Tin (first post):
I hate to say it, but I agree with your post. I am a long-time WTA fan but I honestly think if the women don't start putting up better tennis then equal prize money should be revoked (except for Venus and Serena who are the only women who show up to play the past few months). The women need to get it through their heads that their recent play is killing their tour. They need to toughen up and quickly.
Anonymous at 10:16PM:
ITA. Yes the Sisters had slurs directed at them and yes that's humiliating and made them angry, but what better way to get revenge then to go back, kick ass and make the racists eat their words. Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson were denied entrance to many tournaments and clubs because of their race and they didn't whine and pout - they fought back and didn't "boycott" tournaments. They won and forced these places to accept them. I can only imagine the crap Althea Gibson heard on some courts or the crap Ashe heard when he played in South Africa.
Also, maybe if Venus doesn't pull out 5 minutes before the match was supposed to start, the incident would have been avoided. It's amazing that some people really believe this is about the crowd and not the inept tournament directors.
Then again, everyone else knows what they should do and how they should feel. THEY should forgive and forget, but some people can't seem to do the same for them. They aren't playing and that's that. Why should someone give up their principles for an event that didn't care the slightest about them?to Annon...
of course they aren't, but that situation with Indian Wells, being in the U.S. and with the history of white and black people, it made it way more different from other times of racism.... Its so cliche to say, but if you arent black, its very difficult to understand..like if anyone really wants to see how it was someone posted that match on youtube...

Review: Signature Vodka (MASV)
Posted by Arctic Wolf on November 10, 2011
M. A. Signature Vodka is a spirits manufacturer based in Montreal, Quebec. They produce what they call a 'Herbal Infused' Vodka which is at its heart, a Canadian grain vodka, that has been infused with a rhizome herb called curcumin (a component of turmeric) also called curcuma longa. This herb has a distinctly earthy flavour. It is somewhat bitter, somewhat peppery, and perhaps a little like ginger or mustard. As far as I can tell it has many culinary uses including being used as an ingredient for Indian curry powder.
If you visit the Hang Over Free Vodka website you will see that it is the same as the website for Signature Vodka. That is because Signature Vodka promotes itself as an infused 'hangover free' vodka. In fact, the Signature Vodka website devotes a great deal of space to the hangover free concept, as well as other reputed medicinal benefits of curcumin.
The nature of the Signature Vodka website prompted me to email the company and try to get some more information about the herbal infusion. What I was told, is that the infusion is in such small quantities that the FDA, the LCBO and the SAQ could not actually find it using their regular lab tests. I will be honest and say I really do not know what to make of all of this; therefore my review, for the most part, ignores the herbal infusion and instead concentrates on the merits of this spirit as a Premium Vodka.
Here is an excerpt:

I deffinatly want Mosquitor with wings, always have!
I'm guessing that this was also partly due to whatever overhang the mysterious Emiliano/Toyguru/Matty situation was at the beginning of the year. Certainly Eamon fought Emiliano's graphic design credentials for the MOTU line admirably - and didn't stutter at that point!
Overall a good fiftieth - but I still want an "Edited Highlights So Far" Companion podcast!
"This is a rather shameless promotion"
"Worked on me!"
"Me too!"
I deffinatly want Mosquitor with wings, always have!
Just listened to the podcast, and in reference to Dark Shadows, I loved the 90's revival myself. Barbara Steele as Dr. Julia Hoffman was AWESOME! I was crushed when it was cancelled (which many attritbute it's failure to the Gulf War coverage that often pre-empted the episodes).
I'm looking forward to seeing what Burton and Depp do with the the movie. I just hope they don't make it too hokey.
And as far as the Jem goes, I was in the Misfits camp too. How could you not be with numbers like this:

Awesome! The much anticipated #50! I listened to it but I had several distractions so gotta give this one the rewind treatment!
I love listening to you guys because it seems like I constantly feel the same way as you on nearly 100% of MOTUC topics.
Also great to hear from Toyguru Scott, the various .orgers who called/wrote in, AND ESPECIALLY the last 4 callers. That was just awesome and made my day! Thank you!
Oh and the Misfits are DEFINITELY better! Jem's pretty good herself though sometimes.

Dude, that's worse than getting "trapped in the form of a powerless, old man."
Too bad kids who grow up with Bayformers are lacking morals. Especially after they are exposed to Transformer testicles, humping, and other immature crap. Talk about silliness?!
Sorry I had to get my Era War™ in here, but I blame MGM. He mentioned our beloved Filmation cartoon in the same sentence as....Bayformers.
Versus goofy, bumbling villains, talking animals and exploding Trollans? Who's silly now?
Both are bad news.
Sorry I had to get my Era War™ in here, but I blame MGM. He mentioned our beloved Filmation cartoon in the same sentence as....Bayformers.
I think the parallel fits nicely.
MOTU was already a successful toyline, but Filmation made it MEGA successful.
Transformers was already a successful toyline, but Bayformers made it MEGA successful.
With that comparison, now you see how the people who aren't so enamored with Filmation view that show when it comes to MOTU.

An amusing episode.
Movie phone val kicks all forms of A! He needs to be on the show more often. Maybe even read a voice mail er e-mail or two.
I'm telling Mr. Shokoti on you!
I can kinda see your comparison but there is one major difference. Filmation happened like a year after MOTU was out there where as Bayformers happened what 25 years and countless awful Transformers reboots later? I see Filmation to the MOTU toyline as I see GEEWUN for Transformers. That's their original conceptions and eras (and best forms by far imo). All one in the same. Bayformers, however, I just see as a terrible money making movie trilogy in a whole different time period.
An entertaining and good natured #50! This is one of the best fan podcasts on the net, although regular scheduling/uploading would be better, sorry to sound like a grouch!
Gentlemanly of Toyguru to pop on and congratulate everyone, while Penny, Val, Eamon and Dan continue to inform, entertain and ask questions fans really want answers to in very unique personae!
Anyway, Roast Gooble, hold Neitlich to his 'Battle Pigeon' exclusive figure promise!
Looking forward to the next fifty - and 'JVC', if you're gonna do a movie special podcast, please could you try and snare Gary Goddard, Dolph Lundgren or Meg Foster et al? Please!
We had a pretty barbaric MOTU canon before Mattel changed it up and Filmation showed those changes to everyone through it's cartoon. THAT'S Geewun for MOTU, if we are talking about original canons.
Filmation which catapulted MOTU into the national consciousness is nostalgic. Bayformers which catapulted Transformers into the national consciousness is not nostalgic. That's the only difference between them. They both do the same things.
Both are mass market versions of those canons which "fix" what was the original versions for the mass consumers. Barbarian He-Man is suddenly just as bad as mass shifting Transformers.

Thank you for posting the 50th episode, whoa; finally! It was as informative and very entertaining as always, however the mentioning of Strato's grey junk was just priceless! Thank you Eamon.
Is' a shame to know that Mattel didn't use Emilliano's and Val's talents properly from the beginning! I mean if you look back at some of what those two pillars had accomplished with their art through the MVCreations comics alone, you'd probably be thinking this is one the coolest portrayal of MOTU could ever had! The amount of details on every single page is just mind boggling! Not to mention how much dedication these two guys had to endure over the years just to keep this brand alive!
Anyhow, looking forward to more of the newer episodes now, it's been a bad dry spell, and you just can't keep us hungry for ever Val, even if you have to cut the amount of episodes in half per month due to your busy schedule, just ask your cat and she'll agree.
Keep up the great work.

Space Coast Stadium will again house the Nationals next spring.
Here's a little ray of sunshine to brighten your mood at the end of an uneventful week for the Nationals in Dallas: The spring training schedule is out, and it's only 72 days until pitchers and catchers report to Viera, Fla.
The Nationals announced their official reporting dates today: Pitchers and catchers are due on Feb. 19, position players arrive on Feb. 23 and the first full-squad workout is scheduled for Feb. 25 on the practice fields adjacent to Space Coast Stadium.
This will be the franchise's 10th consecutive spring in Viera, and it could be one of its last. Ownership has made no secret of its desire to relocate to a new spring facility, preferably on Florida's Gulf Coast (perhaps in Arizona, though that appears to be a last-resort threat).
Why the motivation to move? A glance at the upcoming Grapefruit League schedule reveals the answer. Because there are now only three other clubs training on Florida's east coast (the Mets, Cardinals and Read more »

Has the the new CBA changed the official report date? In the past it was March 1st, even though teams may have report dates before then, they were unable to do anything (fine) as long as the got there the fist day of March.
- Ray - Dec 9, 2011 at 9:03 PM
I heard last year when I was down there that the Yankees were moving to a new facility by the Orlando Convention Center. If true, the Nats could take over Tampa. Is there any talk of this, Mark?
- Mark Zuckerman - Dec 9, 2011 at 9:08 PM
Ray: I've heard nothing along those lines. There's some talk of the Yankees' Class A team moving from Tampa to Orlando, but that wouldn't affect spring training.
- markfd - Dec 9, 2011 at 9:20 PM
Mark – Any word on the minor league camp start date in Viera?
- Another_Sam - Dec 9, 2011 at 9:32 PM
Thanks, Mark. Any talk of players on the field brightens my day. I've already begun scoping out the spring schedule to plan a tour again this spring. I hope to see you down there. If the club wants a venue on the other coast, is Al Lang in the mix? The Cardnals and the Orioles shared that park at one time. I've driven south from there to Ft. Myers for a game — quite a longish and uninteresting drive I recall. But a Tampa or St. Pete venue is right in the high density zone. I can't see the Yankees leaving that park they've got. A nice park; recall that we all saw Livan there last spring.Again, thank you, Mark. This can't come soon enough for me.NatsJack, JaneB — are you in?

According to MLB trade rumors Balestar traded to Tigers for Perry
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Dec 9, 2011 at 11:04 PM
By Mark Polishuk [December 9, 2011 at 4:40pm CST]The Nationals have traded right-hander Collin Balester to the Tigers in exchange for another right-hander, Ryan Perry. The Tigers just announced the move via a team press release.Balester, 25, has posted a 9.8 K/9 rate over the last two seasons but also has given up a lot of hits (8.4 H/9) and walks (4.0 BB) in that span. Balester is yet another right-hander in a Tigers bullpen that also features Jose Valverde, Joaquin Benoit, Al Alburquerque and the newly-signed Octavio Dotel.Perry, who turns 25 in February, was taken by Detroit with the 21st overall pick of the 2008 draft. After two solid seasons in relief in 2009-10, Perry struggled to a 5.35 ERA in 37 innings last season and only recorded 24 strikeouts against 21 walks.It's obvious what's going on here–the Tigers want longer names in the bullpen.

FWIW, I would LOVE for the Nats to train in St. Pete at Al Lang Field. Very pleasant memories of the Yankees and original Mets working out there. With respect to Buster Brown @5:48 pm, I much prefer the West Coast. Just returned from three days at St. Pete Beach and I can report the swimming is delightful, geezers at a minimum and string bikinis at a maximum. C'mon, Uncle Teddy, swing a real estate deal in St. Pete for me.

Speaking just from a baseball experience. I realize Arizona is a longer trip for those of us here in DC but when I visited Phoenix I was amazed that five different teams were within 20/30 min. of each other. How great is that for getting to see and play against more clubs. Plus, I might be mistaken about this but I believe the weather is much more consistent. I for one am voting for Ariz. and will gladly pass up Viera for the longer flight.

Sunshine — right on, regarding Al Lang. I'd like to see the club there too. SJM308, as for Florida vs. Arizona, that DC-Orlando air route is one of the most heavily served and competitive routes in the country, and thus very nice for consumers. So I think that Florida has the edge there. And yes, I agree regarding the greater Tampa area. That Clearwater-St. Pete — Bradenton — Sarasota area is IMHO a bit of a step up from the Atlantic coast of Florida in all areas. And there's a high density of clubs there. Of course there's the traffic situation. Hard to see two games in a day if one of 'em is in Clearwater. [Arizona has a distinct edge there.Just IMHO.]
- Former Arlingtonian - Dec 13, 2011 at 2:19 AM
As a former National season ticket holder who now lives fifteen minutes from Space Coast Stadium I'll miss the Nats but I would also understand why they'd leave Viera.The "Space Coast" area of Brevard County is a good place to live but with the departure of so many other teams from the Atlantic coast of the F-L-A I've already figured I'll have to travel to watch spring training in a couple of years.

Walker is everything a girl could hope for. He's smart, he's athletic, he's sweet and gentle, he's caring, he has an amazing family and he could be a model with those dark melting eyes and thick brown hair. But he seems to be very confused about life. He's moody, he's emotional, he gets mad, he likes to argue, and he pushes people away. But I just want him to know that I would be the luckiest girl in the world if he ever liked me again.
The essence of a Greek god. Takes your breath away. Hands down: the cutest, heart warming laugh I've ever heard. He's a charmer, that Walker

Iwakuma seeks another win over AL West leaders
Mariners All-Star righty opposes Rangers lefty Holland in rematch
Hisashi Iwakuma will seek his second win over the Rangers in 10 days as the Mariners look to derail the American League West leaders Tuesday night at Safeco Field.
The righty collected his first career win over Texas in four games (three starts) Aug. 17 at Rangers Ballpark, allowing just a run in seven innings with eight strikeouts.
"I had to be patient," Iwakuma said through an interpreter. "They have a very good lineup and I was just keeping the ball down, trying to miss down and not up if I did miss. I was making good pitches when I needed and was able to get out of some jams."
Iwakuma retired 11 of the final 12 Texas batters he faced, but he wasn't in line for the win until after he left the game. Kyle Seager hit a two-run shot in the eighth to put the Mariners up, 3-1, and hand Iwakuma the victory.
"I was in the dugout," a smiling Iwakuma said. "I was yelling, 'Get over that fence.'"
The home run gave Derek Holland, who will face Iwakuma again Tuesday, a no-decision. The southpaw has received 3.98 runs per nine innings, the 12th-lowest run support average in the AL. It's the lowest for a qualifying Texas pitcher since 1988, when three pitchers had a lower run support average. The Rangers averaged 7.64 runs per nine innings for Holland in 2011, the highest for a qualifying pitcher in club history.
"It is what it is," Holland said. "But I've got to do my job. My job is to go out and pitch, keep the runs down and give my team a chance to win."
Holland will try to extend Texas' 2 1/2-game lead over Oakland in the AL West. He received a no-decision in his last start Wednesday against Houston, allowing two runs in six-plus innings. Holland was hit on his throwing arm with a line drive and was rattled by the play, walking his next two batters before he was relieved.
"My arm is fine and I've calmed down," Holland said. "It scared me. All I saw was a flash of white. I'm glad it didn't hit me in the face. I've been hit before, but never in the face. It took me out of the game. My heart was racing."
The left-hander is 1-2 with a 2.61 ERA since the All-Star break. He's 3-0 with a 0.68 ERA in five games (three starts) at Safeco Field.
"It's a nice ballpark, no doubt," Holland said. "But I try to treat every ballpark the same. The weather is nice and the roof is closed, but you still have to keep the ball down. Even though it's a pitcher's park, the ball can still go out of here."
Mariners: Gutierrez starts in right
Franklin Gutierrez returned to the Mariners for his second stint this season as he's been dealing with an inflammatory condition called ankylosing spondylitis. The outfielder has been receiving medication for the condition for over the past three months.
Gutierrez has been sidelined for a multitude of injuries during his time with Seattle. He's played in just 150 of 453 games over the past three years.
Rangers: Kirkman, Berkman, Feliz to return in September
Texas plans to bring back Michael Kirkman, Lance Berkman and Neftali Feliz on Sunday when rosters expand. Berkman has been on the disabled list since July 7 with left hip inflammation. Kirkman was placed on the DL on June 7 recovering from skin cancer. Feliz has recovered from Tommy John surgery last season.
Worth noting
• Seager has more home runs against Texas (five) than any other team this season. He went deep in Monday's loss for his 20th home run this season.
• With the win Monday, the Rangers clinched the season series against the Mariners. Texas is 10-7 with two games left.
• Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus turned 25 Monday and went 3-for-5 with an RBI.

Beyoncé Concert Tickets |
Beyoncé: Mrs. Carter Show World TourWith the Presidential Inauguration and the Super Bowl already behind her, 2013 was the year of Beyoncé and 2014 will be no different! Pick up Beyoncé concert tickets for the Mrs. Carter Show world tour now! Beyoncé Runs the WorldHot off the success of her last album, the sublime 4 and the hit singles "Run the World (Girls)" and "Best Thing I Never Had," a cameo on hubby Jay Z's Watch the Throne and the birth of beautiful Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé Knowles went back into the studio and completed two albums! Beyoncé Tickets. Are You Sasha Fierce, Too?Beyoncé Knowles - or simply Beyoncé, if you prefer - has emerged as one of Soul and R&B's most prolific personalities. Beyoncé is a true success story; the gifted and beautiful singer-songwriter has triumphed in multiple ventures; as a record producer, model, even an actor. However, most people love Beyoncé for her amazing voice. The mezzo-soprano of this Soul siren is truly what the fans want to hear. The singer born of an eclectic African-Native American-French mix was rasied in Houston, Texas by creative parents. Thanks to her background, Beyoncé was nurtured in the artistic spotlight from the moment she was born. In the opening lyrics of her song "Ego" she says, "Some women were made, but me, myself, I like to think that I was created." This is as much an acknowledgement of her heritage as her own destiny as an artist. Beyoncé began her singing odyssey as a soloist in her school choir, but that famous Soul sound quickly took her to greener pastures. When she was just 8 years old, Beyoncé joined a dance-Rap group called Girl's Tyme. Her gift garnered praise and attention from Texas to California, and an R&B producer flew Girl's Tyme to his West coast recording studio where they were readied for an appearance on hit TV talent show Star Search. Girl's Tyme didn't win Star Search but they learned some lessons. Future Beyoncé concerts began to materialize in the destiny of this singing child. It seemed written in the stars that Beyoncé would shine and people would take notice. Destiny's Child was indeed the name of Beyoncé's first group, taken from a book of the Bible. Destiny's Child enjoyed commercial success but it was marred somewhat by intra-group conflicts. Beyoncé's father had given up his job to become their manager which led to a break-up with her mother. All in all, the formation of Destiny's Child and Beyoncé early career were rocky! Destiny's Child released Destiny Fulfilled in 2004, marking the end of their journey. Two chart topping hits, "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier" came from the album, and a final tour - Destiny Fulfilled...And Lovin' It. She also played glamorous pop star Xania in The Pink Panther with Steve Martin, and the movie went straight to Number One at the box office. This was followed by her dazzling Dream Girls performance, which earned her two Golden Globe nominations. Beyoncé's next album, B'Day was supposedly inspired by Diana Ross and her depiction of Dream Girls character Deena Jones was a searing new high for the Soul diva. Beyoncé's film flirtations spanned 2005 - 2006, but 2007 brought Beyoncé out on the road again. She was now on track to become one of the biggest Soul singers of our times. The customary Beyoncé tour followed her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, in November, 2008. "Sasha Fierce" is Beyoncé's alter-ego, a persona she inhabits during live performances. "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage," she on ce explained. "This alter ego that I've created kind of protects me and who I really am." It was said that the album was recorded in the same mold as Beyoncé's portrayal of blues singer Etta James in the film Cadillac Records. That performance received adulation from hardened critics. Along the way we've seen Beyoncé blend R&B with other genres including funk, pop, soul and "bubblegum"-style dance music, and her latest albums 4 an the self-titled Beyoncé spa from classic Soul to avant-garde hip hop. The surprise release of her last album caught the world pleasantly off-guard and cameos by Jay Z and Drake along with cutting-edge production by Timbaland have kept Queen 'Yonce secure on the throne. |

Used primarily after sustaining massive injury or as a means to elude a seemingly inescapable attack, this technique allows the user to materialise a new body — typically by regurgitating it from their mouth — in a manner that somewhat resembles how a snake sheds its skin.[2] After emerging, the user's clothing and injuries are completely restored, with even amputated limbs being regenerated. Whilst the technique has the additional advantage of potentially being extremely difficult to detect, its use consumes a great amount of chakra.[1]
When used by Kabuto Yakushi who showed a more versatile use of this technique, he was able to shed his human form to reveal a humanoid-like form complete with a serpentine body.[3] He later appeared with a similar serpentine body with what appeared to be smaller limbs.[4] He would later use this technique to shed his body during battle as a means of taking his opponent by surprise.[5]
- The technique and its nature of normally negating near-fatal injuries play with the cultural symbolism of snakes as symbols of immortality and rebirth via the shedding of their skin.

Vision and commitment are some of the attributes that shaped Special Olympics Bharat's success, as it registered its first millionth athlete in March 2013. Chairman Air Marshal Denzil Keelor reflects on the journey that took them there.
Dr. Tim Shriver (right) with Bharat's athletes at Host Town in Greece for the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games.
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history." - Mahatma Gandhi
Special Olympics Bharat's journey started with the Goa Summit in May 2004 when Special Olympics International (SOI) agreed to support our strategic growth program of registering and training 100,000 athletes per year, and covering the costs of establishing a National Office to administer the Program.
Equipped with basic funds at this opportune time, Special Olympics Bharat then looked towards the Government for recognition as a sports federation, crucial to achieving our target of involving a million athletes. This was leveraged by the visit of Dr. Tim Shriver, Ray Lane and Bart Conner to India at this opportune time, and they met the Prime Minister and the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports to garner support for our cause. In January 2006, Special Olympics Bharat was granted the status of a National Sports Federation in the 'Priority' category for the development of sports for people with intellectual disabilities.
Bharat places utmost importance on quality coaching and creating competition opportunities for its athletes, from local to international level.
From there, our team created vast opportunities for our athletes, enabling them to participate in organized sports from local to international level. We were also able to develop the tools for coach training – quality training for coaches leads to quality training of athletes – to ensure sustained athlete growth. The large number of medals won by Team Bharat in the Special Olympics World Summer Games and Special Olympics World Winter Games over the years is proof of this.
In 2010, Special Olympics Bharat was also recognised as the Nodal Agency by the Government, giving us the overall responsibility for the conduct of Sports for people with all disabilities. One of the greatest benefits of this Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) scheme was that it gave us access to 150 districts each year over the next 4 years, and funding organized sport training. This ensured that we covered all 600 districts in India. The paradigm shift resulted in our success, demonstrating the impact of broad basing.
With SOI's financial support and the Government's recognition of our sports program, we continued to consolidate and grow. In 2010, at the Global Summit for Strategic Growth, we committed to registering 100, 000 athletes each year – aiming to reach 1.25 million athletes by 2015. Given the population of people with intellectual disabilities in India, this would be only the tip of the iceberg.
Bharat is inspired by their latest milestone, continuing to reach out to the rest of 29 million people with intellectual disabilities.
On 11 March 2013, Special Olympics Bharat registered its millionth athlete. This is an extraordinary achievement by our Area Directors and the team of Trainers, Coaches, Volunteers and Families, putting in sustained hard work, sincerity, deep commitment and sacrifice to make this happen. On this occasion, there can be no greater tribute to them than Dr. Tim Shriver's blogpost, titled "We Won the Lottery". In the words of former Special Olympics Asia Pacific President & Managing Director David Rutherford, the factors that contributed to our success can be broadly classified into five: visionary and realistic leadership, committed souls, strong Government support, modest but crucial SOI support, disciplined, detailed planning and brilliant execution led by a small team backed by a huge 'volunteer bank'. This volunteer bank is the backbone of the movement and the most decisive factor that determines the outcome of our efforts.
The one million mark is not just a milestone for all of us at Special Olympics Bharat, but also an inspiration to keep working for our athletes; inspiration to reach out to the rest of 29 million people with intellectual disabilities; and an inspiration not to give up.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

Ministry Gifts
Pastor Appreciation Month only comes around once each year; however, the men and women who boldly proclaim the Good News of Jesus should be remembered year-round to reflect their dedicated service. Check our our Ministry Gifts below:
Pastor Appreciation Month only comes around once each year; however, the men and women who boldly proclaim the Good News of Jesus should be remembered year-round to reflect their dedicated service. Check our our Ministry Gifts below:
Your first choice for quality ministry gifts should be Kerusso, which comes alongside pastors with the evangelism strategy of "Change Your Shirt, Change the World!" The simplest gospel message of God's sacrifice, love, and forgiveness has been captured on a red T-shirt called "Crazy Love," which was based on the best-selling book of the same name by Pastor Francis Chan, giving the message of "God is love," according to Matthew 22:37–40 NIV: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Another ministry tee with a direct message is the green "Coming Back Soon" design. This creative design allows pastors to celebrate with those looking for Jesus's soon return and warn the 30 million people who will die this year before hearing the message of salvation in Jesus' words, "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give it to everyone according to what he has done," (Revelation 22:12).
While all pastors are unified in their ultimate goal of seeing lives transformed as people come to know and understand Jesus, not all pastors have the same interests or even the same areas of evangelism. Their pastoral gifts should reflect the calling that God has placed on their lives, not be a carbon copy of their fellow pastors.
Kerusso has made it easy to let your pastor know that you appreciate him or her for the specialized gifts that they bring to your church. Without them, your church or ministry would be missing a significant piece of the evangelism puzzle. Some of these ministry gifts include Christian travel mugs, Christian iPhone covers, and Christian wallets.
Remember, your pastor is not concerned with how much you spend, but that we are called to give back for all they have given. "And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love!" (1 Thessalonians 5:12–13, MSG). Let the overwhelming begin here! Get your ministry gifts today.

I bought this because I saw somebody using it in a TWH video. I had never heard of it and was not sure I'd like it. It is hands down the ONLY shampoo you'll ever need or want once you use it! It only takes a tablespoon in a bucket of water to wash your horse but if you want you can use a bit straight onto tails. It leaves their coats soft and with glistening shine. It's AWESOME!! I even use it on my dogs too!!

SKU: 5_dollar_wrestling_road_trip_wva_dvd
5 Dollar Wrestling - Road Trip: West Virginuer John Denver wrote a beautiful song about West Virginia. Also, Jennifer Garner always speaks very highly of her time growing up in West Virginia. Well, Jake Manning & the 5 Dollar Wrestling crew must have visited a different state. Let's call that awful state, West Virginuer.
That's right the 5 Dollar Wrestling van (not a short bus) makes another Road Trip. This time, Jake Manning drives Freight Train, Dyn-O-Mite, Wolfman & Derik Flair across state lines. Hopefully, he didn't break any laws by doing that. Also, we throw Senior Official, Caleb Konley in the far back with everyone's bags for this 4 hour trip.
A few other stars made the trip to WV but one star took a short trip down the road, Jessie the Jack Hammer. Jessie was the subject of a underground documentary and he became an overnight sensation. Well now he is in 5 Dollar Wrestling full time. Jessie is quite the colorful person and I'm not just saying that because he wears a neon yellow shirt under his purple singlet. He has an interesting story about his famous Uncle John Wayne. Yes, that John Wayne.
All that and more on 5 Dollar Wrestling Road Trip: West Virginuer
But don't take my word for it just read these reviews:
"Jake Manning & the people of 5 Dollar Wrestling are awful people. They take advantage of these guys who can't get booked anywhere else by getting them paid bookings and showcasing their talents to the world. They must be getting rich off of them too. They are charging 5 dollars a disc for this crap." - JR Magnus., Local Indy wrestler
"I can't wait to stay up all night to download and then upload the new 5 Dollar Wrestling to my favorite torrent site. So, that way people can tell me how awesome I am because I have a fast internet connection not because I did anything that requires talent. I know I just did 15 dollars worth work for a 5 Dollar file but it was worth it." - jdawg14, Mega-upload.com "I hate 5 Dollar Wrestling" - Tim "The Racket Man" Doley, Wrestling Promoter/Bookerman

Quincy Community Service District weighs system repairs
Joshua Sebold
Staff Writer
The Quincy Community Service District board took the first major step in a process to possibly repair the district's sewer system at the Tuesday, June 10, board meeting.
The board has been discussing issues with the system for years.
Most of the sewer is still composed of clay pipes from the '60s or, in many cases, empty dirt tunnels where pipes used to exist.Despite this fact, the board is more than aware that trying to sell a multi-million dollar repair project to ratepayers is less than palatable in the current political and economic climate.
The district has been working with Pace Engineering, out of Redding, for some time, trying to narrow down a project scope that would be affordable and economically efficient.
The board has looked at potential projects ranging from a large $5.6 million fix to a $3.6 million initial work scope, with an additional $2 million or so around five years later.
At the most recent meeting the board voted 4-0, with director Dick Castaldini absent, to approve a $4.3 million project scope.
The directors spent much of the May meeting discussing the pros and cons of various project sizes.
Director Denny Churchill said it was a tough balance to strike because increasing customer's rates from $27 to $46 to pay for a $5.6 million project was difficult to stomach, even if it seemed like construction rates would never get any more affordable than right now.
Keith Krantz, representing Pace, said he understood that it was a tough environment for rate increases right now, but wanted the board to know that material prices were beginning to move up.
He said that upward movement was included in the estimates he provided.
At that meeting, Castaldini said this seemed like impossible timing to ask for a rate increase. "You know people Aug. 31 are going to be voting on a hospital."
He suggested the board should try to keep rates below $38.
Director Jim Bequette said he understood where Castaldini was coming from but thought the district should get bang for its buck while construction costs were low, and avoid having to increase rates twice in less than 10 years.
"If people are going to vote against it, I think they're going to vote against it regardless of the amount," he argued.
East Quincy Service District manager Mary Henrici added that people on her side of the hill were already paying over $40 per month for sewer services.
Churchill agreed, "We weren't charging enough is basically what it boils down to. We have not been charging enough all these years and now it's come home to roost."
"Say we knock it down to, pair it down to a $3 million project now. What's one of the first questions people are going to ask us?" Bequette queried.
"When are we gonna come back for another rate increase?" Castaldini responded, with Bequette nodding in agreement.
Castaldini said he understood that point but "I don't know what's more palatable, Jim."
"There's a lot of people out there in our community that are really hurting from a dollar standpoint, and I just question putting a $20 per month burden on a lot of retirees that are living on Social Security right now."
At the May meeting, the decision to choose a $4.3 million project came down to an attempt to strike a balance between spending money efficiently and keeping rates down.
QCSD manager Larry Sullivan reminded the board that rates would have to rise to $38.15 per month for the US Department of Agriculture loan system to allow the project to receive grants.
The board determined that the $4.3 million project option would raise rates to around $42 per month.
Churchill and Sullivan agreed there was a good chance the district would get a 20 percent grant, lowering that number by around $800,000.
They said there was a decent shot that the district could get the maximum $1 million grant from USDA.
Board secretary Katie Gay said that would put the rates around $40 per month.
The board members then discussed the fact that they would have to apply for a loan for the full amount and propose raising rates by the full amount.
If the district gets the grants from USDA and, it hopes, others from sources like the stimulus package, it would have to raise the rates the full $42 initially and would be able to lower them back down when the funding was secured.
This means the rates paid by customers would be lower than those approved.
The project itself would focus on major repairs and replacements of sewer mains in four of the district's sub-basins, with less broad repairs on "severe deficiencies" in the other three.
All customers who don't have a "two-way cleanout" would get one at their property line.
Cleanouts help the district work on its side of the system and also allow customers to unclog their side or address backflow issues.
Paul Reuter, another Pace representative, said the new PVC pipes shouldn't experience any problems for at least 75 years, compared to the current clay pipes, which degrade completely or are invaded by roots that can create blockages in the system.
On the topic of selling the repairs to the public, Reuter said the board should talk about the fact that pieces of the system would have to be replaced as they failed in the near future.
He said spot repairs carried out in that fashion would be more expensive in the long run and the district would also have to pay for cleanup and possibly face more regulations when sewers overflowed.
Director Ruth Jackson said the situation was "kinda like saying your car is working and then all the sudden one day it quits and, if you're like me and you don't know that much about what's under the hood, you think it's fine until it won't go."
Krantz said this kind of project would lower the amount of rainwater and groundwater entering the system and plant by 50 percent, which he argued would extend the life of pumps and other equipment.
Sullivan argued another important point for customers to understand was that no significant work had been done on the sewer system since the 1960s.
The board also discussed the possibility that some customers might be asked to make repairs on their side of the property line someday in the distant future to extend the life of the plant, but the directors agreed they couldn't justify asking for that when there were still issues to address on the district's end.
Krantz said on a total guess he would say 20 percent of customers might have issues that would need to be addressed years from now.
He said those types of repairs could cost from $500-$3,000 depending on how far a person's house was from the road.
At a previous consolidation meeting EQSD and QCSD agreed that projects like this would continue to be paid for by people from the original districts that approved the projects, even if the two consolidate.
This means that QCSD ratepayers would vote on the project and would pay for it.
Rate increases for sewer customers require a 50 percent protest vote to be denied, meaning half of all ratepayers, not just half of those who vote, would have to mail in a "no" vote to stop the project.
This year's rate increase has already occurred; funding for this project won't be voted on until next year at the earliest.
