Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

anyone know as to a powerful safety camera? want I that is wireless, broadcasts over The Internet, may witness into the dark and also may pan and also obtain tight shots. Anything underneath $1000. need it cause Some aholes carry Stopping to front of my home how to gettings image all hours as for The day. reason being this's a brand new home, I think they're testing To plan a robbery or something. Or may finding Westec digs safety or Other safety best?

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

i went to this game, and man if it wasn't for the poor kid from st. francis pitching horribly for the north this game should of ended up 10-1 in the North's favor. also the kid from el monte had some stuff, nice size, great arm, nice bat, looked like an actual dodger player with his el monte uniform on...

Marnatha people stop crying damn, if your own coach doesent put it a good enough word to get u in the game he started, then oviously the player didnt deserve to be on the team

MHS Supporter said:

Baseball Gods -

Whenever there are teams like this, there are always going to be very talented players that are left off of the rosters. I am one parent who is disapointed that his son is not a part of this game mostly because of fact that my son knows many of the guys on the teams. For the most part though, he does deserve to be playing in this game and has the stats to show for it. The problem is, this is an opinion generated "All-Star" game and obviously there is a limit to the amount of players that can come from each team.
As a result of things like this, all I can say is Thank the good Lord for Football!

kiko Garcia said:

FYI,
know that Kiko Garcia himself didnt pick the teams. All schools in the San Gabriel Valley were contacted about this game. From there all kids were nominated by there coaches. Along with stats from Max Preps all nominations were given to the Head Coaches of the North and the South. The head coaches then picked the kids they felt and the kids coaches felt were worthy of playing in this game. From this list of guys is some kids going to be worthy of making the team absolutly, is there other guys that should be on this list? Probably. If all coaches from all schools contacted us maybe the list would be a little different.
We are a non-profit organization set up to help keep kids off the streets through sports and sports training. Looks like were accomplishing that.

oldtimer said:

I like to know how this guys were selected, some of the boys are good ball players, however, there are few others that are not included? Are the few out of town and can't play? I would hope so, or else this pick up game don't mean much if the best of the aarea were were not invited.

BG: Dylan Covey from Maranatha is on the team. What else do you want? There seems to be quite a bit of talent on that team.

Baseball Gods said:

I know more than several of these players and several of these programs, and I only wonder why they are limited as they are. I know players that have been excluded, several from Marantha, and schools excluded, including other local private schools. I am forming my own All-Star Game. I will let people know more about it and its "foundation" than this.

Kiko Garcia said:

FYI
The dinner on June 7th to help raise money for the all-star game on June 14th, has been postponed to a later date. If anyone would like to donate money to the foundation to help put this game on please send to 369 fair oaks ave Pasadena, 91105
thanks
Kiko
