Turn your sound on for this. Read this first, then watch. This is
almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher
cones.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between
the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machines
components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of
Bancroft, Iowa. Yes, farm equipment.

The “Manetamer”
(Ponytail Holder for men but loved by everyone)

So here I am thinking what to write about this week; I thought I should write about something and someone dear to my heart. The “Manetamer” and its inventor; My brother, Marc Keesy. Best way to discribe it is to see it by going to”Google” or “bing” Search “Manetamer ponytail holder for men but loved by everyone” This will bring you to his facebook page. It’s very cool and nothing on the market is like it. I see athletes, stars, singers, business men all wearing rubberbands and women’s hair holders, this would be so great for anyone that wants to hold on to the hair they have because it wraps around the hair, not pulls it out! As Marc says: “using anything else is like wearing your sister dress” He has several commercials on His facebook, I even have a spot sporting the “Little Willies” on the ends my braids. He’s already been featured on the BBC2’s “Dragen’s Den”. Like the “Shark Tank” here in America. Well give it a look, whether you’re looking for an investment opportunity, a job or just want these awesome ponytail holders for men for yourself!
Cheers!
Simone

BTW; all my friends here at Dick Hannah Honda give it two thumbs up!

Update: Marc just sold his some of his Manetames as far away as New Jersey! They’ll be taking the world by storm in no time!!!! Vancouver WA and Portland OR folks love them too. Who wouldn’t!?

We ladies hope this will be coming soon to Dick Hannah Honda!
