The mini-tennis game called Pickle-Ball was created during 1965 in Bainbridge Island, which is a short ride from Seattle. Pickle-Ball is played in thousands of school P.E. programs, parks and recreation centers, correctional facilities, camps, YMCA's and cooperate fitness centers. The reason that pickle ball got its peculiar name, is that there was a dog named Pickles, who would run away with the the original pickle ball every day. So, that gave the owners the idea to call the sport pickle-ball. The rules of pickle ball are very confusing. On the serve you have to serve under hand and must hit diagonally into the other square.

You will need a brush, comb, ponytail, hair net, plenty of bobby pins, a scrunchie, hair clips, gel, and hair spray. First, you will need to brush your hair until there aren’t any more tangles or bumps (it also helps if you spray your hair with water beforehand). You will then have to gather your hair into a tight ponytail. Comb around the ponytail to rid of any bumps or “forks” in your hair. If your hair isn’t long enough to fit into a ponytail, first put it into a ponytail, and then clip up any extra hair that has fallen out of the ponytail with hair clips. After you make a ponytail in your hair, you should twist your hair around the ponytail until it is tight. Next, wrap the hair net around your hair so that it covers all of your hair. Start putting bobby pins around the net, going through the net and the hair*. Once you have put bobby pins around the whole bun, wrap a scrunchie over the net to keep the whole bun together. To finish off the bun, put a lot of gel in your hair, and put hair clips in the places with “loose” hair. Flatten out the top of your head by “going over it with a fine tooth comb” (literally!). Complete the look by spraying your hair with hair spray. You have created a bun. *Be careful! Don’t shove the bobby pins in too tight or you will give yourself or the person that you are putting the bun on a bad headache! 7 Air Mattress Cool Inventions Shoshana G.

The Mets made a big mistake by not signing any good pitchers. The Mets do have arguably the best hitting team in the MLB, but pitching wins championships. 2. Los Angeles Dodgers over 3. Philadelphia Phillies The Phillies have a great pitching team and the reigning NL MVP powerhouse, Ryan Howard. Also, the Phils have streakin’ second baseman Chase Utley. But, the Dodgers got some good outfielders in Juan Pierre and Luis Gonzalez. They also have middle infielders JEff Kent and Rafael Furcal. But, the main thing that they are great in is pitching. They have Derek Lowe, Jason Schmidt, Brad Penny and Randy Wolf. In relief, they have Jonathan Broxton, a great prospect, as their setup man. 2. Los Angeles Dodgers over 1. Chicago Cubs 1. Detroit Tigers over 4. New York Yankees The AL Champions from the Motor City did a great job of not stepping in on the big money being thrown around this off season. The only person they signed was Gary Sheffield.
