Frankie Muniz 911 Call: 'She's Hitting Me in the Face' {PopEater}
Feb 19th 2011 3:33PM Funny, I am in AZ and I don't remember reading ANYTHING about this in either the Tucson Daily Red Star or the Arizona Republic. Did he say he was a celebrity? He was a cute kid but now is just a bump in the road. Too bad about the nice pieces of art.
When a breakup occurs, nobody thinks about the poor art. Everyone involved is only concerned with themselves and the art just gets left hanging on the wall or sitting on a table somewhere.
What Does a Plane Go Through Before It Can Fly? {AOL Travel News}
Aug 23rd 2010 12:07PM While it is a beautiful airplane, and from what I have heard and learned about it, one of the safest ever being built, there is one thing about it I don't like. The number of engines under the wings or in the fuselage. When I am going on a long trip over water, I want more than 2 engines on that bugger before I even contemplate getting onboard. Something about redundancy that is a good measure here.
Yes, I know that this plane is more efficient with 2 engines than a 747 is with 4 but what happens if you are half way across the pacific and one engine goes out and the other one isn't running so well??? Then what? The Dreamliner becomes the Wetliner as you have no choice but to ditch. A 747 would still have 2 more engines to get you there.
Oh...someone mentioned the manufacture of the engines for this plane. There are two of them at this time, Rolls Royce, mostly for British Airways aircraft and General Electric as the other.
Flight Attendant Blows His Top, Yells at Passengers and Bolts Down Emergency Slide {AOL Travel News}
Aug 10th 2010 1:28PM I don't blame him one bit for what he did. I would have gone a step further and poured the beer on the person who bumped me on the head. With everyone taking out their frustrations on Customer Service Agents, it is about time someone fought back against a jerk like that guy. I worked for an Auto Repair Chain based in Tucson, I couldn't believe the things people will do to save a few bucks and treat you like crap in the process. The only problem, however, was my employer was scared to death of customers if they made a complaint, so I wasn't considered "friendly" enough and I also got stern with people when asked to do a repair to a car that was illegal and/or dangerous. The Mexicans were by far the biggest offenders by far. Not being a bigot here, but making an observation. No matter what you offered, it was never enough to make them happy and I could always count on getting a complaint filed against me.
I finally told someone off and walked out of the building with their car up in the air and no wheels on it. Thought you were late then????? How do you like me now!!!!
This guy has back bone and that is what is needed today. If treated poorly, people should be able to respond in kind. Nobody should have to put up with abuse like this, EVER!!!
Offering Up a 'Zona Defense {Fanhouse MLB Blog}
May 7th 2010 1:33PM So many people, so many complaints. I am glad the bill passed. I live in Tucson, and couldn't be happier to see this occur. I am sick and tired of hearing about "racist" politicians and law enforcement. Isabella Garcia, part of Derechos Humanos, an open border group and shut her mouth since the passing of this bill. Of course, we are all in "Azlan" the part of Mexico stolen from by the White Man, this is what she would want you to believe in anyway. She also had the Tucson City Council scared to death of her group as well as Chuck Huckleberry, the Pima County Administrator. You see, she is also the Pima County Public Defender and the County is afraid of the lawsuit. This is also the same lady who took the head off of an effigy of Joe Arpiao and pranced around with it on her hand with a smile on her face.
She doesn't like law enforcement like this. If anyone is looking for racism, one should start in her office(s) as I doubt you'll find a bigger one than her around here, with one exception, US Representative Raul Grijalva.....AKA Congressman BOYCOTT. The only thing that should happen is we should boycott the Arizona 7th district. GO RUTH MCLUNG!!
To all you whiners and people who are sorry you're white....get a life and move on!! I have several friends here in this country from Europe, and everyone of them has and carries their green card with them as it is asked for 99% of the time. What and where is the crime in that?? Oh, that's right, you don't have one, do you? Then get the hell out and don't come back!
If we deport these people, then send them to Guatemala. This way, they would have to come back into Mexico through it's heavily defended Southern Border first in order to attempt coming to the US again.
You're corruption and lack of recognition of US law should stay in Mexico. If you can't abide by our laws, like we have to abide by you laws if we go there, then stay the hell out, or go somewhere else. If you leave Vermont and go to Montreal, you have to abide by the laws of Canada and the Province of Quebec. If you go to France, then you must abide by their laws. It goes the same way everywhere you go. Why is there a problem here?
Mass Media, Derechos Humanos, Raul Grijalva, Joe Arpiao isn't a bad person. And if you don't act like an idiot around him or his deputies, you would be surprised to see that he will pay you little or no attention. If you want to end up in Stripes and Pink Underwear in a Tent....then go ahead, act like an idiot. You'll get exactly what you deserve.
David Boreanaz Admits to Cheating on His Wife {PopEater}
May 4th 2010 10:31AM Just remember one thing: Behind every beautiful woman is a man who is sick and tired of her....for many reasons. What he couldn't/didn't get at home, he got somewhere else. Too bad the secret women have stooped to blackmail, so the fun is now over. Oh, well, it's back to the stripper bars!!
"Should I Quit my Job?" 4 Scenarios in Which Quitting is Advisable {AOL Jobs}
May 3rd 2010 12:14PM I used to work for a high end car dealer in Tucson, AZ. This place was miserable on all fronts for customers, whether you were in Sales, Service or Parts, they abused you. If you worked there, you were treated worse then stray animals, and they withheld money from employees to keep for themselves. I was a manager there, and in trying to get a deal done, I was terminated in the middle of it for using factory money(the dealers money it turned out) to get it done.
Not All Hydrogen Is "Green" {AOL Autos - Translogic}
May 2nd 2010 8:01PM The arguement also goes to hybrid cars as well. Those cars all carry around batteries made of precious metals that have to be mined and refined from all points of the earth....moslty places like China. Once all the energy has been expended on this process to make that battery, then it can be installed and used in a car. What happens when the thing goes bad and needs to be recycled? Can they be? Do they get stores indefinitely in a warehouse somewhere because this is less expensive? Also, what happens to then if and when one of these things gets shorted out from a car accident? Off gassing cause breathing promlems? Poisonous gas? Fire Hazzard/accelerant? Funny, nobody spoke about this when THESE cars were being called green?
A car that BURNS HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN as fuel is the BEST way to replace hydrocarbons.
Just to let you know...a REAL automotive hybrid was/is a light weight British bodied car with an American V-8 engine in it!
Al Gore still stands to profit from all this crap if we build cars like this. It's the wrong technology. Once crooks and thugs like Obama and Gore are removed from the car business, cars that people want will be built, not these little death traps they want us to have. Hey Al, go stick a splintered stick up your ass and that of George Soros...he is greek, he should like that anyway.
'NCIS' Cast in Contract Dispute {AOL TV}
Apr 30th 2010 11:06AM I hope they do something reasonable and do it soon. That would be too many faces gone from the screen, and integral ones at that. The only thing....I am concerned for when this does go off the air, as what has happened to the majority of the people left over from JAG?
And why is Sean Murray in this position??? His father/step-father is the stinking producer!! Hello Mr. Bellasarius, don't screw your own family like this, it ruins the Holidays.
Confessions Of A Professional Housekeeper {AOL Jobs}
Apr 28th 2010 11:37AM Trying on peoples clothes?? Are you serious? That is SO gross, it isn't funny. It explains a few things I have noticed about my things. Come to find out, my cleaning "lady" is now a cleaning "man" and I use that term loosely.
Now, I do go out of my way to keep things put away, prescriptions, I don't have any porn, my guns and ammo are locked away in a safe, that is bolted to the wall and floor and compartmentalized. Other items, mostly laundry, I noticed things coming and going. Where is that shirt? Those sandals, at one point, I had little or no underwear. Then I noticed that both my hockey and rugby equipment were moved, and when I realized the one thing a "guy" needs to wear was missing. This is when I called the service. Usually one guy was coming to the house, and on occasion, a second. Both of them knew each other and had the same underwear fetish. GROSS!!! I threw every pair of underwear I own out, including my things for Hockey and Rugby. I also threw out the cleaning service and the pair of queens along with it. I now hire out, privately, to someone who answered my ad. A Russian woman and her sister and father all come as a crew. Hell, they even left a menu of items they will make for special occasions at a modest price, if I want. Best off, they don't steal, oh..and one other thing...they also take care of the pool for me!!! Now THAT'S a deal!
Four Cup Teams Penalized by NASCAR {Fanhouse Motorsports Blog}
Apr 26th 2010 2:02PM Not only is Toyota a BS engine, but Ford doesn't even have a push rod engine in production, or at least I don't think it does!! They use the Triton engine, which is an over head cam engine. GM still has a push rod design, not sure about Chrysler. Either way, it won't matter. NASCAR will change engine rules here really soon to match the cookie cutter style cars with their own "crate" engine program. All teams will receive engines from NASCAR, pre-sealed and ready for installation. Once they go there, it will be Indy Cars all over again.
We need a new sanctioning body...one that doesn't have a France Family Member in it.
