  1. Someone should tell her, that there are more colors than black or white.
  2. Angelswin.com summer fanfest, or the softball game, since this event might be better on the dirt than on concrete. We should somehow get the Angels to donate a Mike Trout jersey, have the tv camera there, and have a best barrel roll contest. Heck, can have Rojas and Gubi do a wipeout type narration on the side, just as payback for all the grief we give them on the forums. During the game, they can play the clip. With of course the original leading.
  3. He must have been white. It doesn't sound like he was on any watchlists. /sarcasm
  4. Texas teacher’s Facebook rant about McKinney pool party gets her ‘relieved of her duties’: report I seriously don't get why teachers, police, politicians, or really anyone else uses social media unless it's for official purposes. It's like going on a drunken rant (which I have done here way too many times), but to all your friends, family, colleagues, etc, all of which has an ability to track you down. You could post the most innocent pictures or innocent comments, but if it offends anyone, then it's game on.
  5. Looking it up. USS Forrestal. 1037 feet. Soccer Field. 390 feet. But looking at how quickly it stops on the carrier. It just might be able to do it.
  6. holly smokes. Unassisted landings and takeoffs.
  7. Police Killed An Unarmed White Man In Iowa And His Community Didn't Seem To Notice
  8. still doesn't help locally. But I guess it's a step in the right direction.
  9. Samsung Display Introduces First Mirror and Transparent OLED Display Panels The Transparent looks straight out of a Sci Fi movie. Kind of would be interesting if this goes mainstream, and the pricepoint drops from what I'm sure is a quite high number.
  10. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner Does A Near-Vertical Takeoff While not really and more of an optical illusion. Interesting video. And I guess the Paris air show is coming up. If I remember right, this is the eye candy for mainly commercial type planes. Which none the less can be pretty entertaining seeing some of these hulks of planes take off. I remember an air show at Point Mugu I went to. They had I think it was a Hercules (This is back 30 years ago, so the hamster is having problems remembering the name) cargo plane take off. It literally had a bunch of little rockets in the back of it to help with takeoff. Think it was one of those planes that transported tanks and heavy machinery.
  11. Authorities: Singer Randy Howard killed in Gunfight With Bounty Hunter While police get worse and worse. IMO, bounty hunters are 10x worse than cops. It's like you get all the bad cops that can't get jobs, and then you make them bounty hunters. The article makes it sound like poor bounty hunter. But my guess is they said bounty hunter, then kicked in the door just like a home invasion robbery. Yelling and screaming acting like cops intimidating.
  12. Yes the luxury tax is based on the average of the contract. For instance. CJ makes $18 million this season. But his Luxury tax hit is $15.5 million. Since he has a 5/$77.5 contract. Trout makes $5.25 million, but his LT hit is a bit over $24 million (6/$144.5)
  13. And regarding the Ethier for CJ rumors. While I don't think CJ is an elite pitcher. I do think that Ethier is an average outfielder. The big thing going for him is OBP. And while it would be an upgrade over Joyce. 2 additional years at $18 million vs 1 additional year at $20 million for CJ. Either $16 million has to be added, or more players involved. The other thing that concerns me about Either is that time when he couldn't get on the field. The RBI totals when he's in the 50-60 range with very little home run power, although he still gets on base. Call me jaded. But this looks like a typical Dodger comes to Angels and turns into a pumpkin deal.
  14. I think Jeff just posted his minor league fantasy league rosters.
  15. Thinking of ripping out the front lawn and replacing it with a more drought friendly situation. Has anyone ever used Turf Terminators? They seem to be one of the larger turf replacement companies. They seem to do all the work from the paperwork for the rebates and say it's no cost. Checked them on yelp, and their reviews are from spectacular to very poor. Any info would be appreciated.
  16. When you see the Chinese making all these Islands in the sea. Why can't we make an island in the Pacific, or Atlantic. And put all of YK's landfill types on there and make another Alcatraz? They could live on the beach, in huts and free to run around, and maybe they can eventually in a few centuries become a society like Australia.
  17. Is that how old that arena is? Man, when they were talking obsolete, I was thinking 70's or even 80's building. 20 years and already obsolete. Why the F would anyone want to build a stadium, let alone any city want to help fund one?
  18. So what I'm taking from this is the Government doesn't like when someone goes all a snooping around their private business.
  19. Los Angeles Angels draft younger brother of Mike Trout's girlfriend Probably a Craig. Didn't see it in any titles and didn't want to go searching. So here you go. MLB Article. http://m.angels.mlb.com/news/article/129799734/brother-of-mike-trouts-girlfriend-drafted-by-angels-in-mlb-draft
  20. House spending bill could put some bullet train funds at risk
  21. Texas Officer Was Under Stress When He Arrived at Pool Party, Lawyer Says You know the city/police department is going to get sued from both sides now.
  22. Glendale City Council votes down Coyotes arena deal; team threatens $200 million lawsuit
  23. While I will give Getz somewhat of a pass. WTF was Bruce thinking then, putting him out there like clockwork, against a very fast team, with a guy with a sports hernia?
