NEW SPORTS FACILITY TO OPEN IN LOUDOUN COUNTY
Paul Wilson and Sam Plank Partner to Open Diamond Elite LLC
ASHBURN, VA – December 21, 2007 — Area businessman Paul Wilson, owner of the 2007 NPF Champion Washington Glory and Paul’s Sports, has partnered with local Stone Bridge High School baseball coach Sam Plank to form Diamond Elite LLC; and in early 2008, will open Diamond Elite, an indoor sports training facility focusing on elite softball and baseball training, it was announced today.
Diamond Elite will be located on Atlantic Boulevard in Sterling, Virginia, conveniently located near the Dulles Town Center. The 8,800 square foot facility will feature multiple batting cages, pitching lanes, and a well stocked pro-shop. Diamond Elite will provide training space for rental to individuals, groups and teams as well as individual/group/team instruction, clinics, camps and other baseball and softball related activities. A limit number of memberships to the facility are available for teams and individuals.
“It’s been our goal for some time to bring together the elite level training of the Washington Glory and Sam Plank Baseball, a high tech facility and a full service pro-shop under one roof,” said partners Wilson and Plank. “Sam will head up the baseball side of things, and on the softball side the stars of our 2007 NPF Champion Washington Glory will take care of the softball players from beginner to professional and every level in between,” added Wilson.
“The baseball and softball community in our area is in for a great treat. Our Atlantic Blvd. facility is going to be very nice and will provide instruction at a level unsurpassed in our region. However, the facility itself will pale in comparison to what is planned for our 2009 opening of the 21,000 square foot Diamond Elite facility at the new Play To Win Sports and Leadership Training Center in Ashburn,” continued partners Wilson and Plank.
Once open in the spring of 2009, the Play To Win Sports and Leadership Training Center will be the finest indoor and outdoor facility of its type on the East Coast. Located in Ashburn, Virginia in the heart of Loudoun County, Play To Win will offer sports academies, league play, tournaments, camps, combines, and clinics for a variety of indoor and outdoor competitive sports, including soccer, lacrosse, football, softball, baseball, futsal, and volleyball.
The Play To Win Sports and Leadership Training Center includes over 300,000 square feet of indoor facilities, featuring four (200’ x 100’) indoor turf fields along, a sport performance training facility, locker rooms, a restaurant, business offices and sports retail shops. The outdoor facilities include six outdoor, lit turf and natural grass fields, three sand soccer fields and a 60-meter sprint track In addition to sport specific training. All of the in-house sports academies will offer leadership and character development in their curriculum utilizing the facilities’ state-of-the-art multi-media classrooms and the 4400 square foot Play To Win Library/Resource Center.

WOOOOHOOOO TOO GOOD TO PASS UP!!!
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena
the wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I
had, an elephant? So since I'm retired, with little to do, on impulse, I
told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the
Purina Diet again. Although I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the
hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in
an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices
and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the
way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets
and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the
food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
(I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line
was by now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because
the dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an
Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack,
he was laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore!!!

OFF COLOR BUT FUNNY
Thanks, Chill Lee
A lady walks
into Tiffany. She browses around, spots a beautiful diamond bracelet and walks
over to inspect it. As she bends over to look more closely she inadvertently
breaks wind.
Very
embarrassed, she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her little
accident and prays that a sales person doesn't pop up right now.
As
she turns around, her worst nightmare materializes in the form of a salesman
standing right behind her.
Cool
as a cucumber and displaying complete professionalism, the salesman greets the
lady with, "Good day, Madam. How may we help you today?"
Very
uncomfortably, but hoping that the salesman may just not have been there at the
time of her little 'accident', she asks, "Sir, what is the price of this lovely
bracelet?"
He
answers, "Madam, if you farted just looking at it, you're going to sxxx when I
tell you the price."
