- Great little neighborhood spotErinEDined on 9/26/2014We went for restaurant week, so only had the limited menu, but most everything we had was wonderful. The only complaint from anyone were the desserts. No one was a big fan of their chocolate cake or mousse. The atmosphere was cute, cocktail list looked wonderful, and service was decent. I would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVE Leroy's!katieDined on 9/26/2014I have been to Leroy's a few times now and it never seems to disappoint! The food is divine and the atmosphere is great. The waiters are very attentive. HIGHLY recommend and I will be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Complicated menu; overpriced drinksgidgetDined on 9/25/2014We booked for our anniversary, based on the online menu, which we researched first. When we got there, they were doing some special Food Week event, so the menu did not work for us. We decided to have drinks only, then go somewhere else where the menu wasn't so complicated. The drinks were highly overpriced ($12 for two sips of a cocktail that was mostly ice!). The waitress told us we couldn't rely on the online menu anyway because they change their menu all the time.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/23/2014We enjoyed Restaurant Week here. We dined around 6:30 and we were among two other tables. I had ahi poke tacos to start, followed by pork shank, and then a carmel dulce ice cream. Everything was delicious, especially the pork shank. Will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant weekRomyDined on 9/21/2014We came here for restaurant week and got to eat their lunch menu. The menu on the restaurant week website was misleading. My husband was looking forward to eating their ahi poke tacos, but unfortunately, they did not include that in their menu. So we just ordered their burger and the braised beef. The burger was delicious, while the braised beef was not. I felt that it lacked in flavor. Truffle fries always good and surprisingly, the Brussels sprouts was good as well. They really should think about putting a wall between the bar and dining area. You could hear the people in the bar cheering loudly for their sport team. Overall, friendly staff, nice restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DianeDined on 9/16/2014love the local flair. The cocktails unique and distinctive. Food pairings outstanding. Unique taste and prepartion perfect. Perhaps a little larger portion for the price,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SpotluvfoodDined on 9/12/2014Great food. Must have the burger truffle fries and poke tacos. Everything was delicious and wait staff was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- move the bardiscerningduetDined on 9/12/2014Good food, but the bar ruins the experience. Separate the from the dining room.
- Can't hear music2sonDined on 9/10/2014They had an excellent band playing and we were sitting about 40 feet from the band, unfortunately we could barely hear them. The noise level from the bar, and the hightops, was so loud the band became barely audible background noise.Special Features:
- DelightfulRachelDined on 9/3/2014The food, the service and the ambience with the live music was absolutely wonderful. This was the perfect dinner spot to celebrate my birthday with my family. I loved how fresh the veggies were and my chicken was perfectly seasoned and moist. Thank you for making my birthday so special!Special Features:
- Great interesting food.DyeItDined on 8/31/2014Loved the food but the temp of the room was really hot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gourmet Fried Chicken!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/24/2014We've been to Leroy's several times and always enjoy it. We had never visited on a Sunday evening before, so we were delighted to enjoy the Sunday special -- fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, cole slaw -- an amazing rendition of an old favorite! Highly recommended! We were also happy to see the deviled eggs back on the menu -- terrific! Add in a lovely order of clams, a bottle of wine....and you have the perfect dinner!Special Features:
- Coronado Island FindpixelxicaDined on 8/23/2014Leroy's was great from start to finish. The service was excellent and the food excellent: well-executed and tasty. Would definitely come here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of our favoritesPhilKnowsFoodDined on 8/22/2014Must have - Devil Eggs and a Dubbel from Lost Abbey to wash them down. The Cuban Sandwich - perfection.Special Features:
- Just OkCarrie16VIPDined on 8/21/2014When we arrived, our table was a high top right in the sun. We asked for a regular table for my dad and had to wait over 30 minutes. Service was incredibly slow once we were seated. The entrees were good.
- DisappointingOpenTablerDined on 8/16/2014We've dined at Leroy's twice. Here's the disconnect. The food is top notch, fine restaurant quality. But, there's no dining room. All the seating is in the noisy bar or outside along the busy side walk. If you're not sensitive to the ambiance, or concerned with hearing the conversation of your dining partner, you can have a great meal here. On our first visit we had a great server, but our most recent server was inept (steak was not cooked as ordered and she didn't know how to handle it; tab was not correct and we had to wait 10 minutes for a manager to re-ring it). It's unlikely we'll return to Leroy's. I hope the chef finds a more suitable location to showcase his talents.Special Features:
- Great food, but far too noisypapadeltaDined on 8/14/2014We invited two friends to join us for dinner. We hoped for great service, delicious food, and wonderful conversation. The staff was outstanding. We asked to be seated as far from the noisy bar area as possible -- above all, we wanted to share a good meal and conversation with our friends. The food was even better than advertised. Mary's Chicken was tender and juicy, and full of flavor, the best serving of roast chicken I have enjoyed in years. However conversation proved to be impossible. The acoustics are terrible. The crowd very noisy. Worse yet, the throbbing, pounding Latin music was deafening. We will not return, nor can we recommend this restaurant for a relaxing dinner. "Energetic" is not the word for it -- the noise is overwhelming.Special Features:
- Small Menu But So Goodjustmy2centsDined on 8/12/2014My husband and I grabbed apps first. Poke tuna tacos and truffle fried eye awesome. Entrees were pricey so we settled on a burger. But wow, the burger was the best I have ever had...literally melted in my mouth with a beef brisket combination and bacon jam. And we topped it off with watermelon beer! Yummy! Worth a trip to check it out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Coronado gemLocalDined on 8/12/2014We often bring out of town guests to Leroy's. The food is wonderful and the service is excellent. We thoroughly enjoy listening to Gonzo play on certain nights. Our only complaint is that it is often hard to get a table! Highly recommend reservations!Special Features:

- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/4/2014Food was excellent, fresh, innovative. Particularly liked the wide choice of appetizers/bites...some items listed on the on-line menu were not on the menu at the restaurant but plenty of varied options. A little bit expensive so I think the description of inexpensive is perhaps a bit misleading. With drinks - ran about $60 a person with tip included.Special Features:
- Always Consistent...CMsteveVIPDined on 8/3/2014This place is always someplace you can count on for a consistently good meal. The prices are very reasonable considering it is on Coronado Island and the food is always excellent as our their specials.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed this timeGraceDined on 7/27/2014We have been to Leroy's a number of times and although we really enjoy the food and ambiance, we have been very disappointed on more than one occasion with the service. This most recent time we had a reservation, were seated promptly, but hen sat at our table for 15 minutes before ever being approached. Then our waiter appeared almost annoyed that we had questions about the menu. Then when we were close to be being done they were taking plates away as they were asking if we were finished..we weren't! Then it took forever to get our bill. We have always been very pleased with the menu options, however this recent visit left a little to be desired. We will return for another attempt but they really need to work on their waiters!
- cancelled my reservationkksacVIPDined on 7/26/2014We arrived early on a busy Saturday night, and waited at the bar while they prepared our table After a longer wait than expected, we inquired on status and they told us we had been cancelled from the system. Realizing their mistake, they worked hard to get us a table relatively quickly.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceTBspritzVIPDined on 7/18/2014We went to Leroy's with a group of 8 including two young kids while we were staying for the weekend in Coronado. there was something for everyone there, the food was fantastic (try the brussel sprouts), the drinks were inspired, generously poured, and delicious, and the service and ambiance were perfect. We loved it so much we went back for the second night of our stay in Coronado. We never do that, but this place was amazing in every way. When went back the next night (Friday and Saturday), they had some new items on the menu, plus some new beers on tap to try. This place is a gem and cant wait to go back!Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/17/2014The food here is always wonderful. It was a bit loud the night we were there, butnot so much that we could not converse.Special Features:
- You must be kidding!FabulousDined on 7/6/2014Shocked that this place actually is still in business. Coronodo has some great casual dining this isn 't one. Food was tasteless, menu was uninspired for brunch, bar was busy. I assume the drinks were good?
- 3rd time backSunnyJaneVIPDined on 6/28/2014Our favorite spot for dinner when we anchor at Glorietta Bay. Great walk into town, greeted by friendly service, fun cocktails and food that never disappoints. The service was a bit off on this last time, waiter never updated us when our burgers took 30 minutes to arrive after our starter. Nor did he check back in after we final go the burgers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- CoronadovisitorDCvisitorVIPDined on 6/23/2014Our recent vacation to Coronado took us to Leroy's Kitchen and Lounge. The food was outstanding, had the deviled eggs as a starter, beet salad and entrees of shrimp (so flavorful) and pork loin (again full of wonderful flavors and prepared perfectly). The staff was pleasant, efficient and available when needed. Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and would recommend it highly.Special Features:
- Social HourFachoyVIPDined on 6/17/2014Had an early dinner during "Social Hour", specialty cocktails $2 off and $5 drinks offered. Enjoyed the tacos but, the baked pretzels was not as soft and flaky as before. Cocktails were very good, specially the bacon infused bloody mary.Special Features:
- A happy Fathers DayTnFMDined on 6/15/2014Stumbled into Leroy's many months ago after hanging at the beach and was impressed at the draught beer selection. Who knew that the food was so good, too? The Duck Chilaquiles disappointed me a little--since when is duck not flavorful? But the Bacon Waffle and the decadent ding dong for dessert more than made up for it. Service was friendly and fairly speedy--it was Fathers Day, after all. Check em out! You won't be disappointed 😁Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exactly what Coronado needs.SandJDined on 6/13/2014Hands down the best food, best service and predict fit for Coronado. Leroy's has it all without being snooty. A casual atmosphere with five star food; an organic and sustainable menu that changes to fit the seasons. The kitchen staff, bartenders, hostesses and servers are there to ensure that you have the best experience possible and they deliver. Notable mentions are Ryan, Garret and Kim. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Service, Food just okLVLoboDined on 6/12/2014Leroy's has always been my go to place when I visit Coronado. This time was rather disappointing. On the positive side, the wait staff was friendly and attentive and the alcoholic drinks were unique and enjoyable. Also, my daughter and her friend really enjoyed their burgers. However, the restaurant was extremely noisy this time and the food was subpar for my date and I. She had the steak and I had the halibut. The halibut tasted like it had been under a heat lamp. It was dry and lacked flavor. My date had to send her steak back because it was overcooked (which they promptly replaced). The cheese board was skimpy for the price. I would still give Leroy's another chance because of my previous experience with them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 239 reviews are from the Leroy's Kitchen + Lounge reviews archive.
- Great for the Farm-Fresh CrowdmerebruinDined on 6/2/2014When we first entered Leroy's I was a bit put off by the crowds and the noise, but the service was friendly and the food was outstanding. Our creamy saffron carrot soup was delicious as was my asparagus with salmon and a poached egg. This place is better than Gather in Berkeley. Leroy's is innovative without going so far that the food becomes really strange.Special Features:
- Dining experience.ManvoDined on 5/29/2014The meal we had was wonderful.....just not enough of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Should we feel gratitude for our life? To whom?
Gratitude is important feeling in interpersonal relationships. Gratitude encourages giving and giving encourages more gratitude, etc. On the other side, lack of gratitude comes with a sense of "entitlement" - they mutually create each other as well. Lack of gratitude discourages giving and creates a sense that the world "owes us" a living. "We are programmed to receive." Gratitude, in my opinion, offers an exit from that proverbial Hotel California and "programs us to give".
How about our life and other things shown in this video? Religious people usually thank God for these things. The camera shows a standing round of applause at the end of the video. I very much doubt that most people attending TED talks are religious, so the video must have stirred some emotion in believers and non-believers alike.
Do non-believers feel gratitude for these things? If yes, to whom?

Dec 6 2012: I feel thankful towards the people who don't put themselves but others in the first place, because that his how humanity funtions best - in my opinion to say the least.
However this also means that I do not really feel any gratitude towards inorganic/non-sentient things, I don't know why that is, it just seems sort of in vain to mr

Turner this morning appeared as a witness, together with FSA managing director Martin Wheatley, before the UK's Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards.
Wheatley will become chief executive of the new Financial Conduct Authority when a new regulatory structure takes effect in the UK at the start of April, at which time the FSA will be disbanded and Turner will step down.
The commission's attention has in recent months been drawn by the escalating Libor-rigging scandal, with Barclays, UBS and Royal Bank of Scotland so far settling investigations by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic over their involvement in the affair. Other banks are expected to follow.
The FSA had informed the Treasury Select Committee in an evidence submission that it was to "undertake an internal review into contacts with the FSA on Libor and our awareness of inappropriate Libor submissions" between January 2007 and May 2009, according to documents published by the committee this month.
The FSA had said it expected to finish the review in the first quarter of this year, but Turner today went further, telling the banking standards panel it will be published on Tuesday next week.
Today's evidence session with Wheatley and Turner repeatedly addressed the Libo-rigging scandal, with politicians asking whether greater supervision could have spotted it.
Turner replied: "Neither we nor the CFTC had any information regarding the trader manipulation. Libor is not something that intensive supervision could have got at."
Asked by Conservative MP and commission member Mark Garnier whether the lack of whistleblowers about the Libor-rigging was partly down to the tone from the top at banks, Turner replied: "I suspect my press office is currently having a fit that we are talking about Libor five days before we're due to publish a report on it."

Scanlan celebrating holidays after first semester at college
Teresa Scanlan of Gering, the youngest Miss America since 1938 and the only Nebraskan to win the title, had to pull some all-nighters but she finished her first semester of college.
Scanlan goes to Patrick Henry, a private college with an Evangelical Christian basis in Virginia.
World Magazine says she pulled six all-nighters so far in college. She said she might have overestimated her ability and underestimated the difficulty of her courses.
If she can stay with it, Scanlan plans to attend Harvard Law School after Patrick Henry. After that, she wants to be a stay-at-home mom but work on a future political career.

Burgundy: This is a deep burgundy that will go fabulously with our Cranberry Fig, Berry Wine or Plum Spice. Imagine a deep Merlot Wine - this is that color. Approved for use in cosmetics, including lip products. While this is a non-bleeding colorant, if you add too much to your soap it can migrate into other colors in the soap design or stain washcloths. We recommend starting out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per pound for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add ½ teaspoon of oxide to 1 ounce of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Olive Oil and mix well using a mini mixer – add 1 teaspoon of this mixture to your batch.

Take Advantage Of This Opportunity
Shmulik is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Most value investors shy away from options. They perceive them as speculative financial instruments that eventually lead to financial ruin and not to financial success. But there is a much safer way to trade options, the value investor's way. This method is practiced daily by many of the world's legendary investors, such as Warren Buffett.
On options and reputation
There are two main reasons why options have such a lousy reputation as legitimate financial vehicles:
- Most people purchase options rather than sell them. Because an option has a specific time frame, after which it expires, investors are forced to be right not only on the price but also on the timing. As we all know, getting the timing right is practically mission - impossible. No one can make money consistently over a long period of time trying to time the market. Put simply, option buyers are participating in a losing game.
- People over-leverage their accounts. Leverage, by definition, is embedded in options because each option represents 100 shares. Rather than take 1/100 of their original position, investors take the whole dollar amount they intended to invest and put it all into options. They forget that leverage can easily wipe out their accounts. Any novice trader can attest to that.
As you have probably figured out, both reasons are attributed to our faulty human nature. There is no inherent fault in options, just in us humans.
How to trade options, the value investing way
Most people think of Warren Buffett as a good old grandpa that only buys shares when they trade below their intrinsic value. Well, that is not really the case. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) holds a large portfolio of derivatives. Specifically, this portfolio consists of long- dated puts that Berkshire has been selling to eager option buyers.
The secret to making consistent profits in options is to follow 2 simple rules:
- Never buy options, only sell them. This has been Berkshire's approach to derivatives since its inception. By selling options, the investor defines a predetermined price at which he is willing to step up and purchase those shares. For the trouble, this investor is rewarded with a nice cash premium upfront.
- When you sell, only sell long dated options. These are options that expire at least a year from today. the thing is, long dated options suffer from a slight mispricing. Due to the excessive time frame of long- dated options, investors are willing to pay fat premiums for them. Actually, the price of LEAPS (long equity anticipation securities) is usually much higher than the price determined for them by the Black&Scholes common pricing model. And, this of course, is where Buffett steps in and sells these put options.
In order to implement this principle successfully, you must also fight the trend of short- term trading. It seems that also in options, people always want 'fast and furious', i.e, more options with expiration dates as early as a week. This is the reason why stock exchanges around the world are now offering options with a short term expiration date. You do not want to sell short- term dated options.
How to properly implement this strategy
We'll use a few specific examples from today's market on how to sell long-dated put options.
- Selling the January 2015 put options at the $37.5 (at-the-money) strike price on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) will land $583 in your pocket for every option you sell. Of course, this also comes with the obligation to actually purchase Coke shares should they trade below $37.50 come January 2015.
- Selling the January 2015 put options at the $20 (at-the-money) strike price on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) will land $395 in your pocket for every option you sell. Of course, this also comes with the obligation to actually purchase Intel shares should they trade below $20 come January 2015.
- Selling the January 2015 put options at the $28 strike price on Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) will land $570 in your pocket for every option you sell. Of course, this also comes with the obligation to actually purchase Mr. Softy's shares should they trade below $28 come January 2015.

bradlkm asked the Question: Is anyone else having problems with the new Roku interface?
The Roku interface for DailyBurn has updated, and there seems to be multiple problems (at least on my 1st generation Roku). The pictures on the menu are extremely grainy, there are issues with the sound and video sync, and the video is very choppy when it first loads. Most troubling, the timer for each workout is about 6-8 seconds fast from the video (which has been surprisingly frustrating during a workout). Anyone else seeing the same thing? Perhaps it works better on a later version of the Roku? Perhaps just new interface growing pains?
bradlkm answered the Question: I too also have weak wrists and experience some pain while doing push ups. I wonder if a wrist brace would be helpful
Wrist braces do help. I also like using push up bars (such as the "Perfect PushUp"). Using these takes the bend out of your wrist and makes it much more comfortable.
bradlkm answered the Question: I m really frustrated with this website. Are these the only workouts ? where can I track my workout progress for the week?
I would suggest trying to not follow a program, but instead choosing the workout you need on any given day. Simply choose the "IntelliBurn" program, and then click "Discover Workouts" on days you don't enjoy what they are offering. If you find that going all out on Inferno or the TBT (with the most difficult modifications) is not hard enough, then you might be superhuman. :-)
For the tracking aspects, check out some of their other apps down at the bottom of the page, especially "Tracker". Might be just what you need. Of course, weight is easy to track using just the website.
I do wish they had a page where you could track your performance in challenges and workouts you had completed. That would be a nice edition. I would also enjoy more workout videos, but they do claim to be filming some at this moment for future additions.
bradlkm answered the Question: Kettlebell workout questions
The KB workouts are using one KB, with one exception in KB 6 (and that exercise had a modifier for a single KB).
My wife uses a 15 lb KB as a true beginner (we've gone through the program one time), but she is rather petite. Keep in mind that the KB part of the workout is only 20 minutes, so adjust your weight accordingly!
bradlkm commented on andysmith's answer to When are the new workouts going to come?:
I'll throw in my vote for more hard core workouts like TBT and Inferno. Those keep me coming back for more! I would never complain about more kettlebell workouts either.
You guys have created some amazing workout videos so far. Keep up the good work!

How to Pick New Year's Values
- Thursday, December 27, 2012
May Christ never call you or I a hypocrite in the New Year. May be recognize that He alone has the power to guide and give us the authority and power to change.
How To Pick New Year's Values
It's okay if you're not sure which words you want to pick as your values. Maybe you need to work on patience but there's no way you'll ever pick that as your value so instead you choose: hope.
When I started picking values--I had absolutely zero idea what I wanted to do with my life.
I was in my mid 20's with no career, no spouse in sight, and no money. I knew I wanted to change the world and I had ideas--but like all of us find our sooner than later--resolutions don't work.
My friend and author Ava Pennington writes in her devotional "One Year Alone With God,"
"God's Word reminds us that success does not depend on having a different set of values and standards for the various parts of our lives. If we are His children, we will live by His standards and His guidance in every area of life, regardless of the day or the location. When we acknowledge Him, He will straighten all the crooked places of our lives."
When I gave God all of me--not just my career or relationships--He blessed me.
He gave me the strength to value what He valued. The more I focused on my relationship with Him and dedicated the entire year to a set of values--the more I saw God in everything not just what I wanted so desperately and prayed so hard for.
Be encouraged friends.
We have no idea how much God wants to bless us until we bring Him into every area of our lives. Next year, I am picking "Encounter" and "Serve" as my two values. I just have this feeling that I will encounter God as I serve others.
Question: What New Year's Values are you or have you picked for 2013?
Renee Fisher aka the Devotional Diva® is a spirited speaker and the author of Faithbook of Jesus, Not Another Dating Book, and Forgiving Others Forgiving Me (Harvest House, 2013). Renee loves her engineering husband and their rescued pit bull Rock Star. She writes at http://www.devotionaldiva.com.

That explains your name.
You don't get many Clipper fans in England but then again you don't get many NBA fans at all. It's all football over here (soccer).
Hey all ! As my username suggests, I like both the Lakers and Clippers. Why? because they are both from LA and I love all my LA teams. I'm honestly more of a Lakers fan as I watched them since 2000 because of my family but still would root for Clips. I was wondering why Lakers fans and Clippers fan can't get along for when we share the same city. I actually want to hear what you guys think about it.
I'm from Jersey and grew up liking both the Giants AND the Jets as well as the Mets AND the Yankees (who don't worry I loathe now like a good American). I was definitely in the minority but that being said... Those teams share the same city and some even the same stadium (hell the poor Jets had to play in Giants Stadium) but not the same division! And therein lies the (ahem) division. For example I loved the Nets and Devils but DESPISED the Knicks and Rangers. So the Clips and the Flakes are in a truly unique situation. Yes the Nets moved into the City but different building different borough. I have met people like you though friend and they love our basketball teams and the Dodgers and Kings. Something to be said for loving your city and their squads. But being an old school Nets and Devils fan they lived in the shadow of the Knicks and Rangers for so long that its hard not to love them that much more. Anybody who loves the Clips is doing something right but come on man... The Lakers? They're more a Minneapolis team to me
Here's the simple answers
#1 reason, stated in your original post
#2 lakers fans think they are the only team in the NBA
ill add to xldicelx's response: 3) they look down on us 4) they talk too much s***, like if they themselves have played on the lakers title winning teams 5) a very strong sense of entitlement 6) they talk too much s*** lol.
Nothing against you personally but here's why
No Clipper Nation would ever go to an LAL/SAS game and wear a Griffin jersey. Some LAL "fans" still wear #8. They are too cheap to buy #24 or don't know he changed.A huge percentage only know Kobe and can't name the rest of the squad. Any Clipper Nation can tell you most of the squad for the last five years. I was at a LAC/??? game and some a*shole was wearing a Kobe jersey and looked at me and said "Go Lakers" I laughed in his face. He probably didn't know LAL was tanking. Clipper fans would never do that. No Clipper Nation would ever boo LAL on their own court. I've never seen any other team's fans do that. It's rude and disrespectful.
LAL had to hire security on two sepatate occasions to keep the fat bald headed cholos from burning peoples' cars. The closest Clipper Nation comes to that is buying the bacon hotdogs. Boston fans are a bit much but LAL fans take it to another universe
None understand that going to the LAL was D12's punishment per D12. They don't undersatnd why as a necessary business move CP3 couldn't ever go to LAL. They also don't understand that there can be only one bulldog in the yard and CP3 won't kiss Kobe's shorts. He would not re sign
They believe LAL will continue to be great even though a reasonable logical analysis shows that they are excreta for 3 - 5 years. Kobe has ?? one year?? left and his $$ is 30 mil. Pau is $20 mil. Their present payroll is WAY WAY over the cap. They have no good draft picks. What will they do? Sign Elgin Baylor and buy him a decent toupee?. Kobe, Pau, Nash and probably Metta are gone in two years. They believe D12 will sign with LAL. He'd have to be sharing the pipe with Ricky Davis. Houston??
My LAL "fans" at work are rude and dismissive. They will never say that we're OK. We're still booger eaters. Strangely enough I've told them LAL should make the PO's and with luck #6. They laugh at me. Kobe is a jackass but a warrior. I've said he can will his team to the PO's and they laugh. I have more faith in LAL than they do.
Nothing personal but that's why
^ Heard my laker-"fan" neighbor talking obnoxiously loud on his cellphone during last year's playoffs...
"We should hang out, dude...watch the laker game at a bar? ...of COURSE, man... I'm a HUUUUUUUUUUGE laker fan!!! ...when are they playing next?"
What kind of "huuuuuuge" fan doesn't know when his team's next playoff game is?
Just shook my head and laughed at him.
LOL, F**** Faker Fans!
Everytime another team does well or their lakers get criticized they get defensive saying, "our team is still better. Look at all those banners." I just hate it when they bring history up. We all know their history and we're talking about the present. They are also very disrespectful to a lot of the other good teams, but especially to us when we have any success. There's too many of those types of laker fans out there.
To the rational, fair, civil laker fans out there, I have no problems with them and I have respect for them.
So lakes and clips, even though its odd for someone to like both, I have no problem with that. As long as you're not like many of the other irrational laker fans out there, you're good.
Symbolically the Lakers represent everything that I hate about Hollywood. The phony, pretentious, ponytail gold chain wearing producers that I deal with everyday.
The lip injected, implant, look at me personalities in the stands.
I agree with this one,,but I want to add the idiots that wear their Laker jersey to a game in my house irritate me. Kobe isn't here, you ain't gonna see him. He doesn't live at Staples center.
generally speaking,most Clip fans know more about the NBA than Laker fans.we have been through all the suffering so we learn about the draft,salary cap,and other details while Laker fans just think they can get whoever they want,whenever they want.they are like the spoiled rich kid who never had to work for anything so they think that's how the world works.with the new CBA rules,that will change.talking to my Laker fan buddies,it seems they don't even realize there has been a change.all they say is "we wil just pay Lebron the most money because of the TWC deal".we Clipper fans are more humble.as we should be.we haven't won anything yet.Laker fans don't want to admit that even for a few years,the Clippers may actually be the better team.
I will go out and say I am nothing like those Lakers fans. Truth is that I actually do hate fake Lakers fans for making real Lakers fan look stupid. Can't stand them as they are mostly the reason for all the hate on the Lakers.
Oh yeah I definitely agree that the Clips will be better. The Lakers are getting old while the Clips are young. Sucks that I have to watch an old team try to play run n gun
this is all you need to know:
Good to hear.
I feel blessed that I'm not that stupid like those kinds of Lakers fan. I keep it real, not delusional AT ALL. Anyways glad to hear that you guys welcome me here
Oh don't worry dude. I'm not like that at all. Wish I could say the same to those fake Lakers fans but it is what it is. Nothing we can do about them
If Shaq and Kobe hadn't been such spoiled babies they could have had the greatest dynasty ever. Welcome to LAL
We don't expect any LAL fan to say that we're better than they are. Just admit we're good and stop the insults.
Example that DTS is cheap.
Agree. We deserved to be respected. That's not even asking for much.
As somebody who posts on a lot of general forums you guys would be surprised how many Lakers fans want us to do well. The loud, obnoxious Lakers people aren't true fans but Kobe bandwagoners and just ignorant bullies. Like the cholos you see on our post game shows chanting "Clippers suck". The more knowledgeable, legit Lakers fans I've talked to either root for us as a 2nd team or at the very least don't mind us doing well. Problem is Kobe stans and bandwagon Lakers fans are the loud ones that stand out and cause the most drama.
Yes, that is very surprising to hear that many Lakers fans want us to do well. I was reading a lot of posts of the Lakers Ground Forums and seems like majority hates us.
But I can believe the knowledgeable legit Laker fans showing us respect.
Been following L.A. basketball since Lakers began playing in Sports Arena about 1960. Celtics always ripped my heart out.
Started seriously following Clippers when I saw a legitimate up and coming team 3 yrs. ago. As they've continued to make progress, my interest in the Lakers has seriously declined. Lakers have turned into a farce. Clips are still a couple years away,
and need to resolve the ridiculous confusion with their 5 spot and overall coaching. Lakers imploded by allowing their new center
to play at the beginning of the season instead of healing and thinking a 38 yr. old, oft injured guard would actually be an asset.
As far as my Bruins are concerned, the college game was totally ruined by the NBA. The fact that a tiny number of kids
could make NBA squads at 19/20 yrs of age does not outweigh the destruction of of college basketball.
But I can believe the knowledgeable legit Laker fans showing us respect.
Lakersground like most Lakers forums/general forums are run by Kobe stands and bandwagoner. Even the more legit Lakers fans hate those kids. Not saying all Lakers fans don't mind us, just saying a lot.
I am a huge Chris Paul fan!!!! #lobcity
Welcome aboard the Clipper ship, nickjordan11.
Welcome Nick. Look forward to hearing more from you.
Welcome aboard Nick
YES OMGOSH DUDE. THEY ARE SO ANNOYING. Clips are my next team to win if the Lakers dont. I want all LA teams to win no matter what. I love my city
Lakersground like most Lakers forums/general forums are run by Kobe stands and bandwagoner. Even the more legit Lakers fans hate those kids. Not saying all Lakers fans don't mind us, just saying a lot.
Oh yeah. I sometimes post there and my goodness there are alot of immature posters. I'm the one who want you guys to do good. Pretty happy now that the Clippers are on track to compete with the rest
Does the word "narscissistic (sp) come to mind? The guy sitting next me is an LAL fan and is OK. We gave each other props including and I believe this: if LAL were healthy and non dysfunctional they would stand a good chance of beating miami. (It was only a little lie )
Anyway he still can't understand why "Stern" vetoed the CP3 to LAL "deal". Even when I explained that Pau for CP3 would have made NO unsaleable and the Clippers trade made good business sense he still insisted it was a done deal. He said MDSr had nothing to do with the deal. According to him LAL got hit in the, shall we say, Stern. Why would Stern the Boogey man cancel the deal? He hates the poor little Lakers and wants to bu*ger them the first chance he gets.
FOR THE HUNDRETH TIME YOU FOOLS -BECAUSE HE OWNED THE F*CKING HORNETS AND HE WANTED TO GET RID OF THEM Who would want a $20mill Gasol? LAL fans think LAL is so great that anybody would want their most ridiculously overpaid and underperforming player just because one of their uniforms caressed his culo (sp)..
btw Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in the river. So in love that he tried to kiss it. He fell in and drowned
Because most Laker fans, by most, I mean THE MAJORITY, are Obnoxious, Arrogant Fans.
If you're rooting for the Clippers now, just admit, you're a BANDWAGON Clipper fan. If you can admit that you're a Bandwagon fan, then hop on board. The wagon is big enough for all of you. For those of us who have been loyal fans through DECADES of losing seasons, we understand why we can't stand FAKER Fans.

Umm.. sorry but I'm not a bandwagon fan? I started to root for the Clips when Brand was part of the team. I liked his game. Honestly though, its not fair to judge most Lakers fans as how you say obnoxious and arrogant. I understand where your coming from but thats not cool to just call me a bandwagon. Sounds very rude of you to say that without even personally knowing me.
LakesandClips, you going to the game on Sunday? You should support the Clippers since Lakers have too many fans already and it is a "home" game for the Clippers.
Haha yes I am. I should make a jersey half Clips and half Lakers ahah !
Haha yes I am. I should make a jersey half Clips and half Lakers ahah !
Half of each jersey might get you on TV. But preferably an all clipper jersey!
I know how you feel... I've been wondering the same thing - why can't we be friends?
Anyway, welcome to the board! 8)
Hi fellow Clipper fans,
Been lurking for a long time now (Miles, Q, Brand days).. Decided to finally sign up.
How do I change my password?
Welcome to ctb!
Welcome! Hmmm for changing password it's been so long I forgot. Best bet is probably logging out, going to main page and where you sign in click "I forgot my password" and reset it to what you want. At least that should work.
Welcome Clipper Karma!
I feel you dude. I identify myself as a Clippers fan and a Laker Supporter. I guess you would be the opposite of me: A Laker fan/Clipper supporter.
The loyalty lies more so with the city than the actual team. I know damn well that if the Clippers moved outside of Los Angeles, even so far as Anahiem, they'd immediately become my second favorite team rather than my first.
As far as Laker and Clipper fans getting along, it's not going to happen. There are just too many obnoxious Laker fans out there who make it almost impossible to not hate the Lakers and their fans. Even as a Laker supporter, I hate most Laker fans because the moment I say something about the Clippers they start talking trash. All in all, I think it's better that we don't get along because it adds to the excitement of the rivalry, and in my opinion, makes the Los Angeles sports scene a lot more interesting than most other cities.
Welcome myk13! Wow that's cool that your dad was a sth when we were in San Diego in the 80s.
Yes , post more. People on this forum are knowledgeable and passionate fans. There are lots of different, interesting conversations. We love our clippers!!!
Go Aztecs,,,Fight ON Trojans. Welcome.
Love the Screen name Ron!

Jaguars lose No. 2 pick Joeckel for season
St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced that the No. 2 pick in the 2013 draft, Luke Joeckel, will miss the remainder of the season with a fractured right ankle.
Joeckel, who was making his first career start at left tackle after starting the first four games of his NFL career at right tackle, was carted off the field in the first quarter of a 34-20 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
The Jaguars traded former first-round pick Eugene Monroe earlier in the week to make room for Joeckel to start at his natural left tackle spot. The deal, along with Joeckel's injury, leaves second-year Austin Pasztor and third-year Cameron Bradfield as the starting tackles for the 0-5 club.

Burbach will guide 'value engineering' process
"We're not focusing on a 'magic number.'" Shawn Warner, Sletten Construction of Wyoming
Last week's City Council decision to move forward with aquatic center construction hinges on Sletten Construction of Wyoming's ability to "value engineer" the bid to a lower number.
Shawn Warner, president of Sletten Construction of Wyoming, said Monday, "We feel very confident and comfortable that we'll bring a number of really good options to the table for the city and the architects to evaluate. We're looking to give them a lot of flexibility."
Warner is currently working with representatives of Burbach Aquatics Inc. to identify ways to cut costs.
As to whether he will be able to work constructively with Burbach Aquatics, after the company recommended a re-bid of the project, Warner said, "There's no reason we can't have a good, acceptable working relationship. That's just business, and they were just doing the job they've been paid to do. I've got no reason to think otherwise."
City Administrator Zane Logan said the city "is just waiting for Burbach to work with Sletten to come up with small, incidental stuff to bring the price down."
He added that value engineering doesn't entail a redesign of the pool, but rather involves looking a small things that can be adjusted or modified. Examples, he said, might involve choosing another brand of equipment or changing the texture on some of the prefab walls.
"We're not worrying about a magic number. Instead we're looking at the areas where we can cut costs," Warner added, "There's no doubt (city officials) are uncomfortable with the original bid numbers, but if they have a certain number in mind, they sure haven't shared it with us. I don't even know if all of the council members agree on what the budget numbers should be."
Warner reiterated his belief that a re-bid of the project would have brought even higher bid figures. He said material costs are increasing daily.
"Our steel package price alone goes up over $40,000 tomorrow morning," he said. "The chance of new bids being lower is non-existent. That's a fool's game right there."
Logan said it could be a couple of weeks before Burbach Aquatics forwards a new recommendation to the city, adding that part of the process involves research on their part to gather information about where the additional costs came in.

Jett Travolta Secretly Cremated
Here's the latest.
John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston arrived home in Florida with their son Jett's ashes today following an extraordinary cloak-and-dagger operation involving a decoy hearse and an empty coffin.
A black hearse carrying a simple wooden casket was dispatched from the Restview Funeral Home on Grand Bahama island to the local airport last night in what undertakers later claimed had been a ruse, possibly to divert waiting media.
Meanwhile the celebrity couple and their eight-year-old daughter Ella Bleu slipped away unseen for a flight home to Ocala, Florida, with an urn containing 16-year-old Jett's ashes. It was unclear whether Travolta -- an accomplished pilot whose home in Ocala, Florida, has its own runway and parking spots for aircraft including his own jumbo jet -- had flown his family himself.
"Everything was in place, the cremation was completed and they decided to leave," said Obie Wilchcombe, a member of the Bahamas Parliament and friend of the Travolta family.
It was announced that Jett died as the result of a seizure at the family's vacation home last Friday. The autopsy results may never be released to the public.
Travolta, 54 and Preston, 46, both devout followers of the Church of Scientology, are planning to hold a memorial service later this week, believing that he has not died but simply moved on to a new life.
Scientologists do not conduct funerals. They hold memorial services to celebrate the departed, acknowledge their accomplishments, and wish them well in their future existence.
"Simply put, you have lived before and will live again, lifetime after lifetime," Tommy Davis, head of the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Centre International in Los Angeles, told MSNBC.
John Travolta's lawyers, Michael Ossi and Michael McDermott, said Jett was on an anti-seizure medication called Depakote for several years, but the drug was suspended after it lost its effectiveness amid concern about side effects.
As critics of Scientology questioned Travolta's handling of his son's medical condition, Mr. Davis stressed that while the Church does not believe in drug treatments for psychological diagnoses, it does not oppose the use of drugs for medical conditions.
Jett was diagnosed at the age of two with Kawasaki Syndrome, a rare disease that inflames the blood vessels and can affect organs including the heart, causing him to have regular seizures. With adequate treatment, the mortality rate is less than 0.01 per cent.
Friends of John Travolta and Kelly Preston offered condolences after the death of son Jett and said the couple will find strength in caring for 8-year-old daughter Ella.
"There's probably nothing in the world that is harder for a parent than losing a child, so for both of them, I just ... I just can't imagine anything more difficult," family friend Anne Archer told People. "I think what's most important is that friends and family and the community collectively put their arms around them and hold their thoughts for them and help support them through this time."

I hope that they can have some privacy at this time to grieve. And I hope they never release the autopsy report. It is no one's business but the family.
He was cremated secretly to prevent the "so-called" autism rumors from spreading. Both of Jett's parents were in serious denial about his health and while I do feel sorry for them losing a child, I believe they could have improved his life by getting him the actual care he needed instead of "curing" him with Scientology "hocus-pocus"…
From what I hear,Autism can not be detected from an autopsy anyway.So your theory is blown out of the water. Jett was on meication for his seizures but it lost it's affectiveness. Stop trying to stir a controversy were there is none.
Jett was not "SECRETLY CREMATED." Haven't you been following the news? As far as I'm concerned, this site has no credibility—putting out sensational headlines to get hits on the site. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Leave them alone and let them bury their son!
KeCo who are you to say what quality of life Jett had? Also are you a licensed psychologist or a medical doctor that personally evaluated Jett? If not you have no credentials to diagnose him with autism. You have no insight into the Travolta household to know what was being done for Jett or to know his quality of life. I do not believe scientology is right, but I will not comment on things I do not know. BTW they cremated the body AFTER the autopsy was conducted so they didn't do it to cover anything up!
RIP Jumbo Jett
It's a sad story anyhow you look at it. I feel sorry for the Travolta's
IMO Scientology sounds more like a cult instead of a religion.
KeCo, your argument has no point. Autism cannot be diagnosed with a physical test, only with a set of characteristics displayed by an individual. A deceased person could never be diagnosed with autism.
I feel so sad for this kid Jett!! OMG!!
I think he should have stayed on the proper medication for Kawsaki Syndrome, seazures, and autism. Especially since they can be fatal and deadly. It only makes sense to me. But I'm realistic in my parenting skills, and about health. And I'm not a Scientologist. Seems like that may have had something to so with the occurance. Since they don't medicate people. So it also disgusts me. I don't know about the mortality rate of Kawsaki syndrome.. But there may be a cover-up. That poor child, maybe could have lived.. Now he is just a memory. It's not right!!
Great information. Good to read. I've just got one thing to offer about tee shirts.

The ground search has been suspended for a skydiver missing since Thursday after jumping out of a helicopter near Mount Si.
The King Sheriff's Office said over the last four days 386 volunteers from 19 different agencies have searched an area approximately 9 square miles for 29-year-old Kurt Ruppert.
The Sheriff's Office helicopter spent three days searching from the air, and searchers also extensively searched a quarter mile square area that they said was a "potential" area based on cell phone and the helicopter flight path data.
The Sheriff's Office said they have completed searching the areas that could be reached on foot.
There are cliff areas that could not be searched due to the extreme risk to searchers. The Sheriff's Office said they will search those areas by helicopter when weather permits.
At the time of the jump, Ruppert, of Lake City, Fla., was wearing a special wing suit with fabric under the arms to allow him to glide like a flying squirrel. The suit is brown and green, and likely blends into the terrain, though his parachute was reportedly blue.
He was skydiving with two friends, and they were taking turns jumping from the helicopter. The friends were waiting at a grassy landing area, but no one saw whether Ruppert's chute deploy.
Searchers were hoping Ruppert was stuck in a tree with his parachute or perhaps lost in rugged state-owned land around 4,200-foot Mount Si, West said.
Ruppert has been skydiving seven or eight years and is good at handling a wing suit, said a friend, Art Shaffer, owner of Skydive Palatka in Palatka, Fla.
Shaffer jumped with Ruppert at midnight on New Year's Eve and said Ruppert left Tuesday to jump with friends in Washington.
Ruppert is not married and once owned a landscaping business, said Shaffer, who is in contact with Ruppert's family and friends.
