This gathering features some of the West Coasts finest slammed, stanced, and just downright creative cars. <br /><br />December is a time for friends and family, so pack up the relatives and participate in one of these events to help the less fortunate and portray the Southern California car scene in a positive light so we can eliminate the street racer stigma that law enforcement has been holding onto since the release of The Fast and Furious movies. <br /><br />If you have any questions about any of the shows in our local area, feel free to send me an email and I will try to get you additional details.<br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Cars/330i%20Sport%20Package/Picture9.png">Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-64785640802726339832009-11-18T22:45:00.000-08:002009-11-18T23:01:41.105-08:00Somebody said pictures?Here are 180 pictures from the tournament including the team dinner, boys medal ceremony, boys championship game, girls bronze medal game, and several unseen thus far from the girls side of the tournament.

win Silver, Girls take 4th. Both teams make a point.Shores 14u girls played for Bronze against Santa Barbara on Monday and couldn't muster enough scoring runs to get the win. The defense was solid for the most part as the Santa Barbara goals came in sporadic bunches, but Shores suffered a shortage of offense for the 3rd straight game. While the girls showed disappointment in the loss, they accomplished many of their team goals leading up to and during the tournament. They had the opportunity to play for a medal and just came up a bit short against some very formidable opponents. In a sport where you have to earn your respect, our girls played from the #2 seed in our bracket, all the way to a 4th place finish. Well done girls, we are all very proud of how you represented city of San Diego and the San Diego Shores Water Polo Club.<br /><br /><br /><br />On the boys side, Shores battled back from a defeat against United on Sunday to work their way into the Championship game against the same United team on Monday. United took an early lead, but neither team ever really gained control of the game. It was 4 quarters of back and forth battle, excellent goalie play on both sides, and tough defense. The game came down to the final shot with Shores trailing 4-3, and the set play called by the coaching staff gave the boys an opportunity to send it to overtime, but time ran out and Shores settled for Silver. <br /><br />Gentlemen, your efforts were astounding and you showed great spirit and heart throughout the tournament. You are champions, in and out of the pool. <br /><br /><br />The Maureen O'Toole Award was given to Meghan Engh of the San Diego Shores in post tournamnet ceremonies.<br /><br />The Jody Campbell Award was given to Griffen Rizzo of the San Diego Shores in tournament ceremonies.<br /><br /><br />Congratulations to the teams and individual award recipients for a job well done. <br /><br /><br /><br />Even though the tournament is over, the updates will continue. I still have over 600pictures to sort through and will be putting these up in a few days so keep checking back for more photographs that have yet to be seen.Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-31231894886898987012009-11-16T08:07:00.000-08:002009-11-16T08:13:47.249-08:00Shores 14u Boys win against OC and will play for Gold, Girls 14u lose to SoCalThe Boys battled back from yesterdays loss against United today beating OC by a score of 5-3. They are guaranteed a medal and face off against United once again for the gold at 1:10 EST.<br /><br /><br />Shores 14u girls could not generate any offense against a tough SoCal team and lost 5-1 in semifinal play. The game was close until late in the 3rd quarter when SoCal exploded for two quick goals and a 4-0 lead. Shores quickly struck back with a goal of their own, but it ended up not being enough to get back in the game. Shores is evenly matched with Santa Barbara for the Bronze medal game and will conclude their tournament at 12:10 EST.<br /><br />Great job Shores, see both teams on the medal stand.Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-87399515229605623142009-11-15T14:24:00.001-08:002009-11-15T20:17:24.331-08:00Boys and Girls suffer first loss of tournament.The Shores boys 14u faced off against a very skilled United team that was considered by many the favorite going into the tournament. In a hard fought game that was much closer physically than the score would indicate, Shores lost 11-4.<br /><br />On the girls side of the pool, Shores faced off against a quick, smart, and feisty Commerce team that rarely makes mistakes. Commerce struck on their first possession and never let go of the lead. Trailing 2-1 at the half, Shores was unable to generate any offense as the speed of the Commerce team held the bigger, stronger Shores scorers in check. Commerce picked up only two more goals in the second half, but it was enough to defeat Shores today by a score of 4-1.<br /><br />Both teams are guaranteed a spot in the Top 4 tomorrow and both have a backdoor into their respective Championship games with a win in the morning.<br /><br />Go Shores and see you on the medal stand.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4063.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4064.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4065.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4066.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4067.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4068.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4073.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4075.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4077.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4084.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4086.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4089.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4090.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4093.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%204/SpeedoCupGameandGame4095.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-34283406755258470302009-11-15T12:01:00.000-08:002009-11-15T15:15:20.764-08:00Shores remains undefeated in tournament play.San Diego Shores 14u boys faced off against Ft. Lauderadale, FL. and came away with an 8-2 victory. The boys teams looks very balanced throughout and while nobody stood out as a star in this game, the team doesn't appear to have any holes in it.<br /><br /><br />San Diego Shores 14u girls registered a 6-3 win over Miami, FL. after playing to a 3-3 tie at the half. Coach Ian and Coach Bart picked up some tendencies the other team was showing on defense and implemented the halftime changes, allowing our girls to take the lead. Then the defense kicked in again, allowing no scores on very few shot attempts in the second half. Julia Boland, Natalie Chun, Hannah Carrillo, Ariana Vazquez, and Jill Bushman showed poise and leadership, while Meghan Engh maintained control of the goal and her defense in front of the net.<br /><br /><br />San Diego Shores girls 14u will play fierce rival Commerce City, CA today at 4pm EST and a win gives them the drivers seat into the Gold Medal National Championship Game.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4001.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4003.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4004.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4007.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4008.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4010.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4013.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4015.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4019.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4021.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4028.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4029.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4032.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4034.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4040.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4044.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4046.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%203/SpeedoCupGameandGame4054.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-89491525123579852682009-11-14T17:30:00.000-08:002009-11-15T08:03:07.721-08:00Shores night ends in dramatic fashion.San Diego Shores 14u Boys defeated Laguna Beach in comeback fashion putting in the game winner very late to win 5-4. <br /><br />San Diego Shores 14i Girls battled 4 quarters with Extreme, the favorite in their grouping, and came away victorious with a late goal winning 4-3. While the game was won as a team and everybody did their part, one name stands out for excellence tonight. Goalie Meghan Engh stopped several point blank shots, held strong when short handed and dished a breakaway assist to help keep Shores in the lead. Aware that goals were hard to come by against an opponent like Extreme, Engh buckled down and defended the cage in what has to be one her best games ever.<br /><br /><br />Congratulations to both boys and girls on spectacular day 1 tournament play.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2001.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2003.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2004.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2006.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2007.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2008.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2009.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2013.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2016.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2019.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2022.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2023.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2026.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2027.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2029.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2030.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2035.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2036.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2043.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2045.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%202/SpeedoCupGame2053.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-49572273267522224952009-11-14T13:10:00.000-08:002009-11-14T15:03:41.099-08:00Both Shores teams victorious to open Speedo Cup bracket play.The Shores 14u boys team jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first two minutes of the game and never looked back, beating Houston handily 18-2. <br /><br />The 14u girls faced La Jolla in a game that ended with Shores on top 9-5.<br /><br />Shores took an early lead in the game and played from the front the entire game. After taking a 5-3 lead into halftime, the Shores offense came out in the second half on fire, taking an 8-3 lead and giving all of the reserve players an opportunity for some time in the pool.<br /><br />La Jolla whittled the lead to 8-5, but a late goal by San Diego brought the final tally to 9-5.<br /><br />Each team will close out bracket play at 7:10 EST tonight.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1008.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1017.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1019.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1021.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1024.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1031.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1034.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1038.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1039.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1040.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1057.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1063.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1065.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1078.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1087.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1098.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1108.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1127.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1128.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1132.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1136.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1138.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1144.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1160.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1176.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1178.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1182.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1188.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1191.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/speedo%20cup%20game%201/SpeedoCupGame1201.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-31879786754312965372009-11-13T10:10:00.000-08:002009-11-13T18:08:03.303-08:00Leaving on a jet plane.Look out Ann Arbor. San Diego Shores has finally left the airport and they are looking to show up and take your gold. The Speedo Cup tournament will span 3 days and include the best water polo competition the nation has to offer for 8th graders. The national championships will soon be underway and their is a definite buzz in the air.<br /><br />Shores will play La Jolla, CA at 12 noon EST on Saturday in their tournament opener in a repeat of recent San Diego County League play in which Shores was victorius 9-6. This time however, the stakes are much higher. <br /><br />I am currently in the air over Nebraska and will have some photos and more updates of the trip and of the tournament after I land and get settled in Ann Arbor.<br /><br />Keep checking back, updates will follow every game.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival001.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival002.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival004.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival005.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival006.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival007.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival008.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival009.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival010.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival012.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival013.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival014.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival015.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival016.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival017.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival019.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival020.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival021.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival022.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival023.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival024.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Detroit%20Arrival/DetroitArrival026.jpg"><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-38673443847538027842009-11-01T21:36:00.000-08:002009-11-01T22:00:03.182-08:00No love lost as Shores defeats La Jolla 9-6 in Grommet League play.The San Diego Shores 14U girls water polo team faced league rival La Jolla tonight at Coronado in a preview of the Speedo Cup opener. Shores is slotted to play La Jolla, the #2 qualifier from the Pacific Southwest Zone on Saturday, November 14th in Ann Arbor, Michigan.<br /><br />Shores jumped out to an early lead and remained in control of the game throughout with outstanding offensive play on the perimeter by Jill Bushman, Hannah Carrillo, and Kelsey Blacker. <br /><br />Julia Boland, Natalie Chun, and Ariana Vazquez made key stops defensively and eventually forced the La Jolla team to resort to long shots from the perimeter. In addition to keeping La Jolla scoring threats in check, they made excellent transition passes to create many fast break scoring opportunities.<br /><br />The La Jolla team, inspired by the overwhelming cheers from their fans, were able to keep it close until late in the 4th quarter when Shores put the finishing touches on an important win leading up to Speedo Cup. <br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla007.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla008.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla009.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla010.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla011.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla012.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla013.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla014.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla015.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla016.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla022.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla023.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla024.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla026.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla028.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla030.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla033.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla038.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/grommet%20league/GrommetLeagueLaJolla039.jpg"><br /><br /><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-78245408174096005882009-10-30T23:03:00.000-07:002009-10-30T23:29:14.035-07:00Local Automotive Enthusiast is Changing PerceptionsJosh Aispuro is an active car community enthusiast and is currently in the process of becoming a member of Team Showpow. His Integra is cleanly modified and has all of the makings of becoming a fan favorite in the upcoming show season.<br /><br />Tired of negative media coverage, unwarranted police profiling stops, and overpublicized street racing incidents that are typically not connected to car enthusiasts, Josh has taken a stand for auto lovers. He is currently organizing a food drive for a local shelter and shows the leadership qualities that can bring a positive reaction to the car scene in the eyes of the community.<br /><br />The canned food drive will take place at De Anza Cove on November 15th at 11 A.M. This is being promoted on various automotive forums including SDRev, a local forum for automotive enthusiasts, and will include a barbecue, games for the kids and the kids at heart, and the acceptance of non perishable food donations to be given to a local San Diego homeless shelter to provide Thanksgiving meals for the less fortunate. <br /><br />There are those who talk about how great they are, and then there are guys like Josh, who go out and prove it.<br /><br />Here are some photos of his car from a community fundraising effort that Josh organized to help my daughter achieve a goal and be able to compete in the Speedo Cup.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser215-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser207-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser200-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser199-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser187-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser177-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/kidda/SdrevKendrieFundraiser173-1.jpg">Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-52213411410417019932009-10-30T00:21:00.000-07:002009-10-30T00:35:26.819-07:00San Diego Shores Hosts Annual Pumpkin Party at La Jolla CoveThe San Diego Shores invited players and family members to the La Jolla Cove for an evening of fun, comraderie, and festivities as Halloween approaches. The crowd of nearly 200 people enjoyed pizza and a variety of desserts to go along with many contests.<br /><br />Children had the opportunity and were encouraged to participate in several contests which included three different categories of pumpkin carving, crowning winners in scariest, goofiest, and most original. There was also a pumpkin seed spitting contest in which participants were required to pick a pumpkin seed fresh out of the carved pumpkins and spit it for distance.<br /><br />The main goal of the evening was to give players, parents, and families a chance to come together and have a great time in a relaxed, family oriented setting. This is surely a favorite event of parents and coaches alike.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pumpkin%20party%2009/ShoresPumpkinParty027.jpg"><br

Diego BMW enthusiast acquires rare Dinan 3 piece wheels.These wheels are reported by Dinan, a BMW performance company, to be one of only 50 sets ever made. The owner of the car said he found the wheels being sold in Palmdale, CA for a mere $500. He made the trip to pick them immediately, and by the looks of these beauties on the car, it was well worth it.<br /><br />The wheels originally came on 50 of the Dinan performance package 850iL's that were made in 1989. A testament to getting the most for your money, and very rare set of wheels that you may see in person on the streets of San Diego.<br /><br />The car isn't too shabby either.<br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels060-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels039-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels037-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels036-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels021-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels019-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels012-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/pedros%20dinans/pedrodinanwheels009-1.jpg" />Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-74481622298106545102009-10-25T21:35:00.000-07:002009-10-25T22:00:51.205-07:00Shores is denied revenge in tough battle against Socal, loses 5-4 in a thriller.The San Diego Shores 14U girls had a chance for revenge against rival Socal. Up early, and in control, Shores looked like a different team than the one that was blown out last week against the same opponent.<br /><br />After taking a 3-1 lead at the half, Shores appeared well in control of Socal on the defensive end of the pool and were making the most of open opportunities on offense. Changing sides did not benefit the Shores team at all. The Socal team pressed hard in the second half and the Shores offense could not get on track, managing only 1 goal. The lack of possession and minimized scoring chances created by the pressure, allowed Socal to outscore Shores 4-1 in the second half and take the victory 5-4.<br /><br />The Shores girls answered a lot of questions for coaches, parents and fans today as they continue to prepare for the Speedo Cup where they will undoubtedly have another chance for redemption against Socal.<br /><br /><br /><br />**Editor's Note**<br />While C.WithersMedia does not believe in moral victories, we do see the importance of gaining confidence and proving to yourself that you can compete against a formidable opponent.<br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40001.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40015.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40016.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40017.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40018.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40020.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40022.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40025.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40031.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40033.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40036.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40041.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40044.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/Top%2040/SpeedoTop40052.jpg" />Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-41199632591111991162009-10-25T00:04:00.000-07:002009-10-25T00:14:09.816-07:00San Diego Shores 14U Girls to play exhibition match.The Shores girls will be competing Sunday at 3:40 P.M. at the U.S. Olympic Water Polo facility in Los Alamitos, CA. They will be looking for redemption against the same Socal team that defeated them by 17 goals eight days ago in the Cousineau Cup. This game will be a good gauge of the improvements made over the past week and should be much more contested, as the Shores girls are now less than three weeks away from their trip to Ann Arbor, MI for the Speedo Cup.<br /><br />The tournament is the Speedo Top 40 and will feature some of the premiere adult players in the country. Shores is slated to play their exhibition between the Bronze medal game and the Gold Medal game so this will also be a chance for them to showcase their talent with a large number of spectators watching.<br /><br /><br />Go Shores.Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-21923202678341532922009-10-23T09:11:00.000-07:002009-10-23T09:33:30.995-07:00Treat yourself this weekend.<a href="http://www.yogurtloungesd.com/"></a><a href="http://www.yogurtloungesd.com/">http://www.yogurtloungesd.com/</a><br /><br />Located in Independence Square in Kearny Mesa right off of Clairemont Mesa, Yogurt Lounge provides a delicious product that you create yourself.In addition, a fun and comfortable environment make the Yogurt Lounge a great place to grab some dessert with the family.<br /><br /><br />The Yogurt Lounge is also known for their hospitality as they have a plasma television inside, free wifi connection, and a full slate of board games that families or groups are welcome to stay and play.<br /><br /><br />So take the time to visit and create your own frozen yogurt with over 50 fillings and toppings for you to choose from.

This proved beneficial as Engh scored a goal and helped the team hold offensive space in the pool in the second half. Kafka-Asper only allowed two goals in the second half with a solid defense in front of her, but the Shores girls were unable to find the back of the cage on offense and could not net the needed goals to win the game.<br /><br />San Diego Shores finished the tournament 1-3 with losses to the teams that eventually finished 2nd,4th and 5th. Their only win in the tournament came against the 3rd place finishers.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2001.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2002.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2003.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2004.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2005.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2006.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2007.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2010.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2012.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2016.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2022.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2024.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2026.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2027.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2029.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2030.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2032.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2033.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2035.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2036.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2043.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/CousineauCupDay2051.jpg"><br /></center>Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-75032776099707040252009-10-17T20:44:00.000-07:002009-10-19T10:29:01.167-07:00Shores falls to Newport 9-4 and will play Sunday for 5th place.The San Diego Shores girls could not regain any of the momentum lost in their previous game.

While the speed of the SOCAL team appeared overwhelming at times, a handful of Shores players managed to continue to show the type of heart and grit that you would expect from a top tier water polo team.<br /><br />The types of lessons learned in games like this are invaluable as we have an opportunity to teach our children that character is most measurable when you are losing by 20, and not when you are winning by 20. A defeat like this is a hard pill to swallow, but our girls seem up to the challenge of rebounding tonight as they know that they can still take the bronze medal by winning out in their final two games.<br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09021.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09022.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09023.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09026.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09029.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09031.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09033.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09039.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09041.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09042.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09043.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09045.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09046.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09051.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09054.jpg">Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-42041315956453570092009-10-17T14:50:00.000-07:002009-10-19T10:32:27.478-07:00Shores Wins Opening Game of Cousineau Cup.San Diego Shores wins 11-10 (4-2) in a shootout against Elite. <br /><br />After giving up 3 early power play goals and falling behind 5-3 at halftime, the Shores girls rallied behind inspired play from Ariana Vazquez, Meghan Engh, and Hannah Carrillo to force a shootout finale and ultimately defeat the powerhouse from Murrietta. <br /><br />Assistant Coach Bart Sardo was pleased with how the girls responded to his 2nd half adjustments and felt that ultimately the girls ability to adjust to his coaching style and implement the halftime change of strategy led to the win.<br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09001.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09003.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09005.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09006.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09007.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09008.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09011.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09012.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09013.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z279/pswirley/evan%20cousineau%20tourney/EvanCousineauTournament09014.jpg">Casey Withershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077074475521821100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243398041771985072.post-56604231011483432052009-10-16T22:59:00.000-07:002009-10-17T23:35:28.635-07:00San Diego Shores to play in 2009 Evan Cousineau Cup Water Polo TournamentThis charity water polo tournament was created to provide a high quality and fun filled weekend for parents and atheletes while raising money and awareness for Become a Hero, Become a Donor Foundation (BAHBAD).
