When ever I here about this, it usually is exactly the same. At long last somebody has presented a different and meaningful viewpoint.

Gotta love blogger for this one. Good timing with today's media.
All I can think about is using cigarettes. I i'm sure i don't plan to light up and if anyone offered a draw right now, I would definetly refuse. I am in a very dreadful mental state and have had trouble staying asleep yet I'm sure I have to be healthy. The smokeless cigarettes may also be helpful in the end.
Just about all I can think about is smoking. I know i don't want to take a drag and if someone offered me a cig here and now, I'd not accept. I feel I'm in a fairly lousy state of mind and have had trouble sleeping still I do know I should really be strong. The e cig may make it easier in the end.

I started cigarette smoking while I was a kid. This was the most detrimental mistake of my life. Now I'm older and I have lung cancer. When attempting to stop smoking cigarettes, I discovered the e cigarette and i intend to try it out. With some luck, it'll assist me with this crappy addiction.
I wasted money on cigarettes for as long as i can remember and kicking the habit had been very hard. I tested all the stopping tips however none did any good. Then I stumbled on the e-cigarette. The smokeless cigarette uses a nicotine liquid which consists of just nicotine. Absolutely no toxic substances whatsoever. They have fortunetly made all the difference.
I smoked for decades and quitting tobacco had been extremely difficult. I experimented with each of the quitting techniques but not one helped me stop. Then I heard about the e cigarette. The e-cigarette uses a nicotine liquid that is made of just nicotine. Virtually no poisons in the least. They've literally changed my life.
I gave up cigs a week ago and it is really beginning to make me feel crappy right now. My husband keeps saying I can't complete it however I'm so serious about it I will be successful. Today I began having aches and pains in my abdomen and I truly want a cigarette. I will not give in as I'm making this effort for my little one. I am fortunate to have the electronic cigarettes. It is often beneficial if you ask me.
I was intrigued and impressed by this article. Huge thumbs up. Many thanks.
I smoked cigarettes for several years. I know it damages my health therefore I want to quit smoking though this has been extremely difficult. None of the stop smoking scams did the trick. Then I saw the e-cig. It has basically improved my life. No longer sucking in toxic chemicals feels excellent!
Echoing traxbac's assertion that character counts... too bad some of the local schools and their administrators aren't in agreement... at least not by their actions.
…And Now for you, my dear chap “Frederick J.�,
It is presumed that a person hosting a television show, radio broadcast, or writing a column in a local newspaper has insight uncommon to the average person. In the case of your predictions of local teams your acuminous utterances are limited to predicting Muir at every opportunity. I know it’s the historical choice, but at best you are taking a guesser’s chance. Not included in your prediction is the character of the people who play the games, or participate in the events. Though character is a trait rarely covered in this blog, it nonetheless is often a determining factor in success. It is easy to predict teams with glossy records and less easy to research the other factors that delimit the same teams from perpetuating that success. I know you control the blog and (in your best southern accent please read) “a-many-a-folks line up to kiss your rear end,� but agreeing with someone to get a pat on the head is the antithesis of personal integrity. The creation of this blog is great (for entertainment purposes only) and should not be taken seriously. If any of us could really forecast the future, then we would not have time to respond to blogs, rather we would be too busy picking up your winnings from Vegas and appearing on Larry King promoting our best selling book “How to Pick a Five Team Parlay for Dummies�. Let’s wait for the playoffs so we, and that means all of us, can make other absurd comments or lamentations concerning our teams…Pardon me, I have to go to see my friendly neighborhood soothsayer.
Itsa stang thang,
Just get those young men of the “stangs� to college; PCC will do. It is a long discarded notion that the “secret� for getting out of the ghetto is through athletes. I urge the young men of Muir to strive for other life endeavors and not just the pursuit of the transitory athletic glory of high school. That way when they become adults, they will be present for their sons and daughters entries into athletics with the caution that it is not the only way out. Best wishes to the Mustang football team, but here’s to an even more profound congratulations to the future Muir graduates.
Anonymous, quit it! LS has 4 lineman that take every snap on both sides of the ball and I will bet your 70 against their 70 Jimenez! He is the best O and D lineman in the Division. He has gone up against the best talent nationwide: USC Pete Carroll Rising Senior Football Camp, U of M Larry Coker Football Camp won Tight End award, U of Oregon Nike Football Camp. He has shined against the best in the USA. So be careful making wishes they may just come TRUE!
Go Minutemen!
burbanksports - Maranatha would be happy to have you - Go Minutemen!
hey lancer double8s, I pray that TC gets to play you second round, because you need to just think about this for a moment: You beat TC without their version of your baier and jimenez. Regardless, if TC plays you, they will show you what star players look like, following which you will realize how ridiculous it is to be stuck on a win against a team that is at only 70% strength (dwight being 22, #70 being 8). We'll prove to you that the first loss was a fluke; and it will be a distinctive point made. Also, thanks for misquoting me (even though it was a paraphrase with your own ending added). I'm glad to know they teach grammar at La Salle.

I think I'm going to start rooting for Maranatha and La Salle.
Dear Anonymous (TC supporter)-"Not to make excuses for TC's lost to La Salle...but here's a bunch of excuses...". Nice call!!
Right on Finchamp. In a game when you just ran somebody over he was usually more intimidated when you kept your mouth shut and just did it again the next play.
TomS, I don't know! Guess I'm just excited for the playoffs (and possible tie-breakers)!
And, oh yeah....8 days........
Tom S--
You guys are alright.
I understand that Goodyear is having some difficulties with the FAA. Kare Field is in a direct flight path to scheduled landings at the El Monte Airport. So you may be in luck in getting the blimp after all.
Great to see more Minuteman fans showing up on the blog. Finchamp - I am liking you more and more as the season goes on - the best of luck to your son and the rest of the Kares - Friday night should answer the questions of a lot of nay-sayers - All I can say is Marantha is ready for a great night of football, and a victory, and when I say Maranatha that is the whole MHS community, players, students, staff, families, friends, cheerleaders, bloggers and the like - I hope to see some great coverage from both this game and the RHP-Poly game on Saturday morning.
la salle's line plays all 48 mins so i dunno wtf ur crying about
just so everyone knows, not to make excuses for TC's loss to La Salle, but there were not one, but 2 key players missing in that game. What apparantly is the key to dwight's success is his offensive line, and arguably the best lineman on his team was missing form that game. Dwight's favorite lead-blocking pulling gaurd sat out the entire game due to injuries. So not only was dwight not in, but dwight's back-up was running behind a pulling guard with no experience and nowhere near the talent that the #70 (the starting guard) has. That entirely kills the run game. Its one thing to be a back-up and run through an open hole and then get tackeld, but its another to run to a hole to find your guard stuck in it with a defensive lineman. Also, #70 is one of the teams defensive tackles. The three defensive tackels are all two way players so they use the roatatino to have 2 play and one take a break. Without him out there, that leaves the two inside guys playing all 48 minutes. Guarantee it, La Salle vs. a temple city team with dwight and his guard, that game has a different ending.
Oh and Lancer:
I just love this
"9 days left...16 are talkin and 8 will be walkin"
Where did you come up with that!!!!!!
Finchamp: Thanks for the props. Maranatha will beat Whittier Christian, take the championship and go into playoffs 2nd place in the Northeast division. I don't know these new supporters but great to see them posting. After the blimp flies over your field send them on over to Whittier College so we can get some airtime on Fred's Friday Night High School Football highlights.
Best of luck in your championship game against Poly and I think Fred has it wrong.
Regards
mustang sally im through talking to you, its like talking to a brick wall. im just going to watch muir get handled in the playoffs, hear all about your B%$@hing about how everything was unfair and how muir dosn't have a line and all your other excuses on this blog, and then i will laugh at you.
The Voice--
I assume you already know your allies from Maranatha on the blog. Not only do I think Maranatha is good enough to win league I think you are good enough to win CIF. Our RH Prep team played many of the teams that are ranked in your division this year during the run to the title last year. Maranatha has the personnel to do it. The question is whether they can put it together under pressure and the coaching staff making good decisions at critical points.
Lancer Double8s--
I know what you mean about the youngsters--best we just keep it real ourselves. Yeah, I strapped it on alright. I know what you mean about the silence.... The Lancer squad has peaked at the perfect time and if their pairings go at all well in CIF they've got a real chance at running the table.
Well, I guess the high school kids finally found this blog, particular "Horsey Fans" will not be mentioned. It's nice that those who made this enjoyable from the start are still around (the family of big Ms, minutemen fans, RHP fans, burbank, and the rest). It's been quiet from the Lancer neck of the woods for one reason, and anyone who has strapped it on knows this....the real season starts NEXT week.
9 days left...16 are talkin and 8 will be walkin
Well, I guess the high school kids finally found this blog. Respect for those that keep it real (the M family, Philly, Finchamp, you Minuteman guys). However, the reason I'm not talking is because the season is on hiatus....
9 days left, 16 talk, 8 walk
trojanator
i think u might be outta touch with reality..philly b hit it on the point..the fact is, another name for muir football is speed which i dont think u know anything about. and please dont let ur school pride go to ur head, muir would smuther la salle on any given day, when i was playin for muir last yr i heard romours of u guys thinkin u could hang with us..pleeease..another thing please explain the discipline thing i keep reading about..please explain it to me i wanna know
Nobody thinks Maranatha will beat Whittier Christian??? What's that about? Where's the love for my Minutemen??
Trojanator,
La salle would destroy muir???????? I think you're riding your schools chain a little bit too hard to be saying all of that. I mean yeah la salle is playing good ball right now and they're most likely gonna win their league but for you to say they'll destroy john muir high school in football???????? Have you lost your lancer mind man. I dont even think it would be a contest. Muir has so much speed. I mean you la salle fans say u have these big lineman to pancake everybody, but i ask you this: How can you pancake what you cant catch? No muir isnt as diciplined as la salle but when it comes to who's faster on the football field????????? wow........ best believe la salle would get handled in the first quarter if they were ever to play muir, which i dont think that will happen. You see how long it took for arcadia to get off its high horse to play monrovia, la salle would never schedule a contest between muir....NEVER
stang kid...your right la salle would not hang with muir...they would destroy them. But in regards to our schedule, no one can match the athleticism of Verb and with muir being the undisciplined team they are, they would get handled in the 1st quarter.
Stang fan, come down off your cloud. A couple of years ago, I would have said you were right. Not today, there are teams on the RHL and CR that will give you a run for your money. Be real, no offense. I saw the Oaks Christian game and you did not do any better that LS did.
yeah we're gonna get south pas for sure, i know that lost last week is still bitter in those kids mouths, and the only way to get rid of that bitter taste is to play nearl;y perfect football against south pas and we will prevail im sure we can bounce back and take care of the tigers
trojan guy..
u talking about schedule? la salle wouldnt even last in the pacific league...u guys play sorry teams like marystar and tc, la canada..u get my point..so dont get it twisted that u can hang with muir.
trojanator.. have u guys played oaks christian this yr?... and as far as i know oaks beat st.bonaventure 57-13..so explain y oaks has anything to do with muir being weak
"until TC proves themselves"
TroyBoy...
The Rams are coming off their most impressive win of the season... even the TC bloggers were quiet before the Monrovia game. They've proved a few things:
- They're faster than anyone thought.
- Their line is legit.
- They are hot going in to the playoffs (no disrespect, Blair... but your win Thurs would be the biggest upset of the decade!)
The La Salle fans are fond of telling everyone that will listen that their win against TC in Week 5 was the beginning of a run that has defined their season... that a different team exists than the one that got doubled up at Monrovia in Week 4. I don't disagree... maybe your loss to the Cats woke you up, and helped turn you into a divisional force. Well... the Rams, since losing to you, have gone on a run of their own. If a loss can make a team better... and I believe it can... than the TC team today is NOT the team you beat weeks ago... just like the Lancer team that the Cats beat weeks back, no longer exists.
Our loss to TC has awakened the proverbial sleeping giant... first So Pas... then the division. Here's to addition by subtraction...
stang fan keep quiet, why are u even talking about la salle? Your not even in the same division!! Look im sorry, not really, if your sucking in your own division but you don't need to start with la salle. How was that Oaks game by the way? What 60-0 at halftime? Damn la salle didnt even get whipped that bad against them. O and that no namer who ripped on la salle, you must have never seen la salle's schedule...lets see TC play that and try to put up a fight against a Verbum Dei team that will have its D Lineman running faster than your RB. All this yack yack yack about how TC will kill la salle in playoffs is showing what kind of an education TC offers...you obviously did not see LA SALLE 21 TC 14. until TC proves themselves please close your mouths and stop embarrasing yourselves.
..
lol thank you anonymous. some1 finnaly hit the point
STOP FUSSING ABOUT POLLSSS...IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE LA SALLE IS SUCH A GREAT ALMIGHTY TEAM, THEN YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE IN THE PLAYOFFS.
I meant La Salle lost to San Marino and TC destroyed San Marino.
Neutral, Broadnax DID NOT play against La Salle at all. He was suited up and did not play. If you want to keep playing the game remember La Salle lost to San Marino and TC destroyed La Salle. The only good team you beat was TC and TC took the last 3 quarters off and it showed. If they face each other in the playoffs it's game over for the Lancers. And if they do, when Broadnax runs over La Salle what are you going to say then? Remember you just said it...good teams win without their best players so La Salle should beat TC without there defensive end and with the Rams and Broadnax. Game Over.
Excuse me Fred, I believe that Broad was healthy and infact did play in the second half. Ya he was injured, but a good team wins without their stars. La Salle was missing their starting Defensive end who sadly is out for the season. They were both injured yes, and if TC was a complete team they shoul've won the game, but they did not. Ya LS lost their first 5 games, but these past 4 weeks you have to say that they have looked impressive. LS has by FAR played the hardest schedule compared to the rest of the teams and their abilities. LS's opponents all have winning records but Mary Star and St. Monica. I am not saying that they should be a top 5 yet, but come on Alhambra, RHP, and SP all ahead of them? And another thing TC should beat LS everytime. A school of over 1,000 kids can't beat a small catholic school? That is what should piss off TC fans about how that they do not even have enough players out a thousand kids to beat up on the small area private schools. But you know what now LS just has to go out and keep repeating what they have done this past few weeks, so that all these people bagging will shut up.
come on stang thang, are u still bitter about passing league, la salle has regrouped and shown that they are a solid football program, we dont need rankings we know what we put in week in week out and that all it takes
La Salle, it's all good guys, but I'd have to agree with the rankings, wins and losses, I'm not sure how FredJ figures it out, but to me, it doesn't seem as if its based on BCS rankings, La Salle beat TC, you feel as if they should have moved up into at least the top 10 earlier correct? Your team won its league (GRATS!), but in the end, those teams have a better win-loss record..and I personally think that this is the one of the major decision(s) in Fred's Top10. So stop hounding Fred.
and hey Turdunken, it ain't all about PASSING in this game (or at least in this area). Our Valley teams and schools try their best with WHAT THEY GOT, and they run with it. and in the end, all the players in this valley play because they love what their doing, and yeah Riley doesn't pass much, but when it's crutch time buddy thats what a QB is suppose to do, 'Lead all at all costs no matter what' and show poise to his team and I know for a fact that he's always positive. And that goes for all the QBs who might not be getting as much love as they should be.
la salle... good? hmm that doesnt sound rite.
lol
Go muir mustangs!! no.1 again..heh its noe getting old..muir is on a down year..how bad r u other teams out there..i thought st. francis was gonna run.. i guess they are just a hype. can u imagine st. francis was 20th in the southern section..pfff pleeease. o yea one more thing la salle sucks i dont kno y every one keeps blowing them out of proportion..and levelle peterson hasnt played a good defense.. if he played a team like muir or burbank he'd look like a virgin..he would even kno wut a hole looked like. please dont be offended coz thats the fact of the matter.
Big M, Am with you. GO LANCERS!!!!!
Fred, the fact that we lost to so and so and they beat so etc, etc, etc,. Does not mean a lot as we all know. The fact of the matter is, that if you have seen LS play over the last 5 weeks, you will see a diffrent team than from weeks before, but besides all of that the competition we have faced is above some of the schools you have included. A 7-1 team on a weak league is not the same as 5-5 on a strong league. The CR has Verbum Dei, who is for reals. No smoke and mirrors there, as well as Mary Star a tough gritty team. The proof is in the pudding, so Philly B, dont get your knickers in a knot, we are not shutting up but standing for what we believe, let the games begin. That will tell.
Cube, 88s, and all the other Lancer fans...
Ignore the rankings... they mean little. Be happy that this isn't the BCS... you will have a chance to prove your worth on Fri, Nov 17th. Until then, cheer on your boys and celebrate your league title.
Wooooowwwwww!!!!! is that silence i hear from all the la salle bloggers?????? hmmmmmmmm looks like Fred shut yall up in one blog. but he's right on that though when it comes to the star news rankings, but i dont agree with the CIF rankings though they should be between 7-10 in CIF since they are handling their business in league
Burbank, Burbank, Burbank, Crescenta Valley isn't technically part of our coverage area, which is why they're not included in the rankings.
As for Arcadia everyone, I think they would beat every team ranked below them.
La Salle bloggers want me to forget about all their losses, and I can't do that. Maybe the Camino Real is terrible, we'll soon find out in the playoffs. But San Marino beat La Salle and Monrovia destroyed La Salle. La Salle deserves a lot of credit for the win over T.C., but again, they didn't have Broadnax. That's like taking Peterson away from La Canada. He had 300 yards against Monrovia, so I think he would have been a factor in that game. Bottom line, a 4-5 record and a No. 10 ranking in the Star-News is more than fair. Don't diminish what the teams ranked ahead have done.
Fred- please correct the typo for the Central. Burbank #10 must be a mistake. Put Arcadia at #10 after all they lost to us 42-14. Thanks.
Campa-
You're right, I missed the little asterisk. I agree with your assessment, but you know my take- Pasadena all the way. I'd really like to see Pasadena against Hemet. Kimmee can show Hemet's Roost how it's done.
i think that is the million dollar question crazy. because for la salle not to be ranked is very crazy. i will say that their league for more competitve than duarte's league i understand them not being ranked but la salle should be getting respect and their not so i completely understand for all the anger, but saying that dont get ur ring size just yet because the pairings haven't even been set yet so, just have patience and then we'll see whos gonna get a ring
Fred, regardless of what La Canada, South Pas, Alhambra or Rio Hondo Prep's records may be, do you think they are a better team that La Salle? I beg to differ. The La Salle HS football team is a hard hitting team. Now that it is healthy, thanks to the resurgence of Andy Saldana and the return to 100% of Alex Jimenez, along with Troy Whitehead, it has shown week over week, that it can hit with the best of them. We demonstrated on a Saturday afternnon with Temple City and then again with a very fast, big and athletic Verbum Dei team, then went on down to dredded Daniel's Field and out hit Mary Star, not your garden variety football team. All in all you are off in your calculations, but we appreciate at least putting us on the Top 10.
You see it, but you can not believe it! How can CIF rank any one that has lost almost every league game and does not have a snowball's chance in hell to make the playoffs: Cantwell and leave off the CR league champ: La Salle? I've heard of voodoo economics, but this one is past me.
It's all good, because no matter what happens the Championship ring is La Salle's. I donot beleive by any stretch of the imagination that LS deserves to be ranked amongst the top of the division, our record and poor playing at the beggining of the season does not warrant it: TC, M, VC they are top teams with winning records and the Lancers are not, but come on now!!!!Where do they come up with this stuff?
Hey Burbank,
According to the CIF website, the San Marino-Burroughs game is at San Marino tonight, not Burroughs. However, I think you're dead on. I think Burroughs knocks off San Marino 3-1. The Titans haven't seen a defense like Burroughs. Even PHS coach Ronnie Joseph said that the Indians are one the best defenses his team has played this year.
In fact, I think the Pacific League goes 2-1 in this opening round of the Division II-A playoffs against the Rio Hondo League. Arcadia will stifle SoPas 3-0 but La Canada will knock off CV 3-0. If all goes right, the marque matchup will be Saturday when RHL champ La Canada plays Pacific champ PHS. If that happens, I'll be there.
CANTWELL IS STILL RANKED!!!!! How dumb do you have to be to have Cantwell still ranked. they might have a decent record but they played teams that couldn't find water if they fell out of a boat in the middle of the pacific. LS should be ranked, I am not saying that they should be top 3 but #5 would be justified. Personally i want to see SP win so that LS can get them in the first round. But Monrovia should win hands down. SM could win and that would make it intereesting, but it wouldnt matter any way, because whoever LS gets it will be under the lights at LS for the first time and that will give those LS players a chance to prove themselves that the Sat. curse is bulls#*t. TC is solid but i would like to see them complete a pass every so often. But the playoffs are wide-open and it will be interestign to see who comes out on top. Good luck to all and GO LANCERS.
Fred,
Going to Burroughs tonight? Burroughs 3-1 over Titans?
Fred, i think what everyone is trying to say is that these ranknings are all f***** up. i mean arcadia like south pas has not lived up to the hype in pre-league. and both of those teams are fighting for a playoff berth. la salle took care of their business in league while everyone was talkin about the RHL being 16-4. What was the outcome in that. It still came down between monrovia and temple city. la salle had a rough start and won aginst temple city and hasn't missed a beat since so i mean it is what it is but that top ten is a bit off, but i know u do your best in what u think so i guess im just giving my opinion
Thanks burbanksports - I agree
If L S wants respect, you must beat a highly ranked and respected opponnet at full strength. Not agreeing with the ranking but just thinking like the voters.
Like I say all the time about L S and those first 5 games, "Just Win Baby". Then the respect will be yours and nobody will be able to take it away from U.
Maranatha and La Salle should be ranked higher. Arcadia at #6? That Apache mystique must really be something.
If La Canada is in the poll, then why isn't Crescenta Valley?
HAHAHAH RAIDERS SUCK!!!! 7 sACKS IN THE 1st QUARTER!!???
i posted the above
Neutral,
I'm sure there are reasons why Fred chose the teams to be in the rankings the way they are. I wouldn't put sooo much emphasis on the rankings and polls...it ALL comes down to the games...
by the way...if you are going to play that game...La Salle lost to San Marino who lost to Monrovia, Temple City and South Pasadena...
the answer to the three way tie is this. a coin flip decides the first two teams to play (same two sides play).
those two teams then take the ball from the 25 yard line, in. each will get a chance to score and until one scores and stops the other it will keep going. finally the same will happen between the winner and the 3rd team.
i hope this helps.
Remember Fred that you agreed to include ARROYO in these new polls... maybe the Knights should occupy #15 since ARROYO beat rosemead in the crosstown showdown 27-23. Actually, for the first time in my life I am rooting for koffler and the panthers to win (vs SEM).
Come on Fred, Alhambra, RHP, LC, and SP ahead of La Salle. Now I know their record is not that great, but come on look who they have beaten and lost to. They beat TC who beat Alhambra. They beat Verbum Dei who easily beats Monrovia athleticly wise. LC cannot pass at all, though Lavelle is good he cannot carry that team over anyone really good. SP lost to TC, and will not make the playoffs. La Salle won league already. Fred wake up, you might as well put Cantwell in the top 10, because apparently CIF still ranks them even though they won't make the playoffs. This is ridiculous and an insult to the LS players. They should take this mistreatment by their own paper and go out and smash people in playoffs because of this.
Fans--
Even the Star News doesn't know where to put La Salle. I think the SN put them ahead of RHP last week after a bye week for La Salle and now behind RHP after another strong La Salle showing. I'm true to RHP but I'd have La Salle at 5 1/2 on the Star News top ten...and Fred you're just trying to be nice by adding the "next five" business...
How is la salle not ranked... they smashed on Mary Star 50-7 and smashed on Cantwell 35-7 and Mary Star beat Cantwell.. how can Cantwell still be ranked and la salle isn't

Just kidding fred,
as always you are updated, and i missed the previous post. My bad!
Philly B,
im glad to see you've been a bit humbled, but i think if SP does somehow beat Monrovia, which even i dont think is very plausible, then LC beats SM, then there is a three way tie for second, SP LC and Monrovia...
and i guess they would do the same thing as they would if monrovia beats sp and sm beats lc, which there would be a three way tie for third...
im still waiting on fred help us out there...fred?
Nice to see Maranatha in the "next five" slowly but surely we are moving up :)
I cant believe that la salle is still not ranked. I mean they are taking care of business in thier league, as well as duarte. But duarte is expected to do that in that weak league. but la salle is playing good ball and i can admit that. but im not hating on south pas but im jus going by stats, record and scoreboards. sp lost to tc, and la salle beat tc. sp loses to lc. and this team came in "undeafeated" I feel that if la salle keeps getting disrespected in the polls then thats more fuel to the fire. la salle wants to play tc at full strength to let everyone know that their for reals, and monrovia wants a rematch aginst tc. if monrovia beats sp(i did say 'if') will they even make the playoffs?
