Weezy is really back. It's nice that I can finally get some good rap songs on radio. It's not like he ever actually left us since he still had a a hit with Right Above It. Soulja Boy and these other lame rappers are too weak for me. GO WEEZY!!
I am glad to see that some webmasters are still there who share there valuable suggestions to the visitors.Thanks for the resource.
Very Interesting Post! Thank You For Thi Post!
Good for you!
That question is ostensibly asked by this promotional video for the new film "Freakonomics" (NSFW). It's too busy dreaming up nasty stereotypes and giggling about them to actually talk name science. check out this series of posts from the 6RECIPE
Excellent job.
These are impressive articles. Keep up the sunny handiwork.
I think all of the fans may like it too.
Only list those relevant to the work you do, and resist the temptation to tell them about every qualification you have. If you have a degree, for example, there's no point listing all of your qualifications from school (you may want to say how many you have) as they have been superseded. All you will do is use up valuable space on irrelevant information.
In order for Recruiters to get through the bulk of applications received, they scan through the details, noting keywords, skills and specific work experience that match the details of the job ad.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Almontfan just a joke buddy i heard some1 else on the blog say just thought it was funny.....relax kick back and sip a cold one we got a long season ahead of us...............enjoy!
CHAN Gabriel?.. What are you referring to JUSTAFAN.. SG has some asians on the squad, none in the starting lineup..
Guys, relax. Lets remember to keep this in perspective. If not, you're both OUTTA HERE!
Yo lawl or whatever your tag is....dumbass?
I ain't really down with name calling on a high school blog u lil "female dog" but if you wish to ride the CHAN GABRIEL wagon go right ahead...and i heard that it was far from,"EZ SAILIN",for your mighty midget matadors against TC.There head coach couldn't believe and was very disappointed to give up 28pts? and so was i.....can't wait for Almont league to start!
justafan....tc lost to sg...
what now? what excuses are there to offer now?
dumbass
Congrats to Riley...I LOVE that kids game!!!
The Top Ten:
1. MUIR- From what I've heard about the game the Stangs D once again was the story. Again, Venice had negative yardage on THIRTY-TWO carries...ridiculous. On the other side of the ball J. Williams had a GREAT game by throwing for over 200 yards and 3 td's. Not bad for the back-up QB. Things are looking good right now...REAL GOOD.
1(a). SF- It appears as if SF struggled with CV, however, SF controlled the game by racking up all those yards on the ground and playing some really good D. From what I understand CV fought hard and at times appeared to hang in there with SF, so it'll be interesting to see what the Falcons will do this year in the Pacific. Oh, btw phs fans, add another league loss to your record this year.
3. ROSEMEAD- I've got to admit, I was taken aback by the final score in the RHS vs. M-town game. This is going to sound bad but.....IMO the Cats should NEVER lose to Rosemead. But as I've mentioned time and again, Monrovia gets a MAJOR pass this year. (I swear, I hope the Stangs get a chance to play CO in the playoff this year).
4. SAN MARINO- Okay, some may think this ranking a little high for the Titans, but hey, as I mentioned last year, this was going to be a weak year for the WSGV in general...so why not the TItans? Here's what I really want to say about SM though: I LOVE that there is an Asian player front and center on the cover of today's sports page!!! There have been some comments on this blog about "changing demographics," bands that are "10 times the size of the school's football team," "Chan Gabriel" and "Chan Marino," etc, etc, etc.
Throughout the history of the SGV there have always been some REALLY amazing Asian athletes. I'm sure that there are have been many more who could have played football but either chose not to or were told not to. Trust me, if more Asian kids chose to or were allowed to play football there schools would be better off. You might not be able to build a dominant interior, but you could DAMN sure find some really good skill guys. Keep up the great work Benny, trust me, you made a huge impact on some future football players today. You and your parents should be PROUD and commended. Good luck!
5. MARANATHA- In normal years when the WSGV is a little stronger The Natha would not be placed here. But because this is one of their best year's ever and because the other teams aren't as strong, I'm going to go with the Minutemen at #5. Shoot me....
6. ARCADIA- I know. To have the Apaches below the Minutemen seems like heresy. But without Golper at this moment I just don't see Arcadia as a strong team.
7. MONROVIA- I keep waiting for them to gel...it may be a few more weeks.
8. TC- Yes they lost to Alhambra who I have ranked below, but something tells me the Rams are still the better team.
9. ALHAMBRA- To keep it real, I have you guys here because you were losing to GLENDALE...I repeat GLENDALE...44-7 at one point. You guys certainly bounced back last week with a good win, so let's see what happens this week.
10. SAN GABRIEL- I need to see them face a team that is neither far superior (Cathedral & Serra) NOR far inferior (So. Pas) than them.
Yo GOLDEN,
YOUR RIGHT ON THE MONEY...
SEPTEMBER,OCTOBER, doesn't matter...
IT'S ALL ABOUT NOVEMBER,BABY!
It makes no difference to me if TC is ranked at 6 or 26.
In November these polls mean nothing. Actually, Friday at 7pm they mean nothing.
It does give folks a chance to evaluate team strengths and weaknesses and look at opponent histories and performances...so in that regard I guess it brings value.
I know you don't normally look at the "bad" schools but there is a kid at Pioneer High School that is deserving a look for Athlete of the week in water polo.
Just today he scored 10 goals and assited on 5 others in his teams tough 17-15 loss to Whitney H.S.
He has two more games this week and if he equals his output, you have to take a look.
His name is Andrew Orozco.

Miguelito.....and i'll make sure to remind the ALMONT teams that it will be an "EASY SAIL",for you mighty midget matadors......What pisses me off is this is the game of FOOTBAL, not band practice.The reason why i'm so bothered by you paper guys is that I don't care who were playing,that should be what you teach your players,not make excuses for your team by justifying a butt whooping by two teams who are ranked higher....you think Carson Colts would be satisfied with a moral victory against MATER DEI??? heck no those kids believed they would win
and they should have won.What about Bishop Amat vs O Lutheran? come miguel you,and all you other paper guys....
Cathedral? what div. are they in? Serra? aren't they all in the same Div with Cantwell and all them other lower Div Catholic schools??? i'll never forget when Alhambra went up against a team with 6 or 7 D-1 kids over at Pasadena High...huuum...think they had a pretty good QB in McAllister, who still play 4 the Ravens and won a super bowl ring-A pretty good LB lester Towns etc...moral victory right? Moors wouldn't have a chance in hell......well buddy like I said MORAL VICTORIES are un acceptable in this game of Foot ball...and by the way your alma mater AHS went on to beat that unbeatable team at Moor field.Uncharacteristic of Pasadena though right?
I heard somebody use the words "juevos"!
That's what you teach and coach your kids to play with
no matter who walks on that field or else don't play this wonderful sport at all!
Yo Miguel,
You must be sippin' on something real good...
can I have some?
Alhambra D'd up TC that was the characteristics of that game,were'nt you there?
Moors beat TC and you rank them 10! you rank TC 6!
and SG got whooped on,but that was a tough moral victory right? and you got them ranked 8? EASY SAILING? Don't they play TC on friday? You call that easy? you are contradicting yourself buddy...So when SG loses to TC and they will be 1-3 what excuse will you them?UNCHARACTERISTIC??? What a joke...you sure you didn't transfer to SG?
