Pro Basketball—in Mission Viejo?

The Orange County Novastars have made Mission Viejo their home for professional basketball.

Love basketball? Think you have to drive into L.A. to see a professional game? Think again.

The Novastars are bringing pro basketball to Mission Viejo via the American Basketball Association.

"We are very excited about the upcoming season," said team owner Al Smith. "We've been working long and hard putting together a solid team and a great game experience."

Tickets are $15 for adults, with children twelve and under free.

  • See a Novastars tryout video attached to this story.

Novastars players include Deon Marcus (Arizona State), Kenny Wright (Long Beach State) and actor Antwon Tanner, star of films such as “Coach Carter” and the CW drama “One Tree Hill.”

Saddleback Gymnasium at Saddleback College will host the Novastars at home.

I've got some good news for the Mission Viejo Patch Whiners (®). It seems we're still migratingRead More a lot of the old content onto the new site. Expect to see videos repopulated soon, and I believe comments as well.

They are coming for the Johns now. DA Ruckysuckyducky has a new "shaming" program. I'mRead More sure it will work and prostitution will no longer be a curse upon the land...I mean, after all, the War on Drugs was a rollicking success!

That rings true, don't it: the 'flat spot' in an ongoing trend that will sometime soon go on. Eat,Read More drink and be, Mary, for tomorrow... a new interface will be introduced that strips hyperlinks, videos and comments from your bloggos and puts history out with the dogs. (whiiiiinnnnnnne)

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view. I'll be writing a post about that. If you're a business owner with a web site, you need to understand the reason in order to save money on your site.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.

The bible tells us to flee the occult.
