Bring light down towards the face. When you have limited light sources, the key is to make sure the light you do have is placed in the absolutely correct spot.
In this case, two bright sconces are placed at about eye level. This casts light directly at the face from the sides rather than from above, which is much more flattering to everyone.
In this case, two bright sconces are placed at about eye level. This casts light directly at the face from the sides rather than from above, which is much more flattering to everyone.
In this powder room, the sconces at head level and white paneling balance the more dramatic color on the upper half of the walls. The beauty of natural light is that it flows all around you. This configuration gets close to that feeling.
Pendant lights offer another way to bring light down off the ceiling. This acts in the same way as a pair of sconces, but with a more dramatic flair. Pendants give you a chance to bring in another design element not always possible with wall-mounted light fixtures.
Spread the light around. There's nothing worse for lighting a larger room than relying on one light source for the entire space. This luxurious and rustic shower (in which you could probably hold a square dance) has lights all around it, perfectly placed to highlight the structural elements and shine light all around. Even though it's built out of heavy materials, it doesn't feel heavy.
Keep everything light and bright. In what I imagine is a converted attic space, most likely without windows, an abundance of light materials keeps this traditional bathroom bright. From the herringbone stone floor to the white ceramic shower tile, this bathroom feels lighter than air.
Use reflective surfaces to carry light around. In this quaint hall bath, all the walls are covered in a cream ceramic tile to great effect. Besides unifying the surfaces, the reflective surface helps bounce light around the room. The room feels well let even with just the one light source.
Another great example of using surface to play with the lighting. The smart positioning of these glossy vertical tiles does double duty: It helps the space feel a little bigger (by creating movement around the room), and it reflects light from the pendants back into the room. Brilliant use of glossy tiles.
This bathroom gets sparkle and interest from a beautiful "quilt" of glossy tile behind the vanity in varying shades of blues and brown, a simple oval mirror, a glass vessel sink and chrome details.
The high graphic wallpaper, darker cabinetry and black door could have made this elegant bathroom feel much smaller. By placing sconces on the oversized mirror, the light seem to double in intensity, toning down the graphic power of the wall covering. And it looks super cool!
Use unconventional light locations. This master bathroom (which may have a window we can't see) illustrates perfect use of indirect lighting to distribute light throughout a room. A simple light under the raised vanity helps lighten what otherwise would be a dark corner.
Use the darkness. This is almost in complete conflict with the concept of this Ideabook. Sometimes it's okay to use the darkness of a room to great impact. In this condo bathroom, the deep tone on the walls creates a cozy and romantic environment. The large jetted tub doesn't hurt either. More than anything, have fun and don't hesitate to make your bathroom spectacular.

Time to have some fun
Mine started showing signs of reasonable carbonation at 3 weeks which was a surprise given the strength of this beer. It was probably 6 weeks before mine showed full carbonation. If it was just one bottle, then I'd say you need another one or two more data points from other bottles in the batch. Even if they are not well carbed I wouldn't say it's ruined. There are ways to recover.
Hex23 your right on. 5-6 weeks is pretty much when this beer starts to show proper carbonation.
So, mine's been sitting in bottles for 6 months, now, and I'm still not at all pleased. At this point it's carbonated enough to drink, but not enough to form a real head. It took about 3 months to get to that point. This was actually my first all-grain beer, which was probably a bit of a reach for me. At the time I brewed it, there was no D2 syrup available anywhere, so I used the soft brown candi sugar. Looks like the D2 is available again, now. Mine wound up around 1.090 (I think I used slightly more sugar and slightly more grain on purpose as I was actually hoping for something closer to a Rochefort 10). I fermented it in my apartment which I don't really heat during the winter, ambient temps around 60. The fermentation was the most explosive I've ever seen. I had a blow-off tube fitted, but even that kept getting clogged with yeast. The lid blew off the bucket once. Fermentation temps got until the 73 degree range, despite the cold apartment. Almost right off the bat, the banana odors were so strong, my wife asked if I were baking banana nut bread! I'd read about this yeast giving off banana notes. These were not notes, but entire banana symphonies. About a month after bottling it, it tasted like banana-flavored rocket fuel, and was still flat. Now, 6 months later, it takes like mellow banana-flavored rocket fuel. It's still too harsh, and out of about 25 batches of beer I've brewed, it's the only one I won't serve to guests. Rochefort is my favorite beer in the world, and since others have had luck with this, I'm going to keep trying. Since I've been brewing all summer in my un-air conditioned apartment, I've had good luck cooling fermentation temps by keeping the fermenter in a large cooler filled with water, and I add ice as necessary to keep the fermenter temp where I want it. Next time I brew the Rochefort, I plan to do the following: 1) Maintain the temperature at or below 65F. 2) Add more yeast when bottling. I know some of you guys have had luck without doing so, but I haven't.
Sorry to hear of your disappointment. This recipe can really make a great beer. It's good to hear you want to try again. Couple of thoughts/questions: I would definitely expect a higher OG like 1.090 to take longer to carb. Not sure about 6 months though. The amount of banana ester makes me wonder about your starter. Is it possible you underpitched? How big of a starter did you make? I would say given that gravity I would expect it to be around 3L (assuming one activator pack). The temp played a role for sure, but I accidentally let mine get to 78F during the first 48 hours and I have very minimal banana flavor.
I brewed this recipe this past weekend. Used Carafa I instead, but reduced the amount. Made a 2L starter earlier in the week and this thing took off in like 4 hours max. Bought a corker and Belgian bottles. Gonna try to carb high.
Make some labels if you have time, would be a nice touch for the holiday season!
Gimp is great, and free. Give it a try, you can produce some really nice labels with it.

Camera Crews and Corn Nuts
by Fay in View All Posts, February 19th, 2009Here's a little tip for any viewers out there that might someday have an opportunity to screen test for the Food Network: Pick a demo recipe that includes corn nuts as one of the ingredients. Today, we were all huddled in Studio B for talent tests, freezing and hungry, and running behind schedule.
As luck would have it, our test subject whipped up a delicious salad topped with those crunchy golden nuggets of corn goodness. And I discovered that no one can resist corn nuts! The extra tub of corn nuts that we wouldn't need for the shoot was gone within minutes, as everyone tried their best to crunch quietly in the background. Ah, corn nuts, the ultimate in studio mood elevators.

Tv Crews are always hungry. I know from esperience. I used to work at a TV station that aired a cooking program. No sooner that shoot was done, there were hands on those plates, no matter what was in them.
Corn Nuts are a lot like cheese…They make everything taste better! Great idea to add them into a salad! Is there a new FN Star we should be on the look out for?
Does anyone remember that episode of Semi-homemade Cooking when the host referred to Corn Nuts as Acorns while making a Kwanzaa cake?

Looking for some GGs to team up with
Lately it seems like there are two types of people in this game. Those who suck, and those who don't (but take it WAY too seriously).
I'm looking for an inbetween kind of thing. Oh and also, everyone seems to have this "one champion" mindset. Is that seriously fun for you guys? I'm reading that people have played hundreds of games with the same hero. Are you serious?!! crazy. I definitely play some champions more than others (Katarina, Shaco, Anivia, Veigar, Blitz, occasionally some Mundo or Rammus), but I can guarantee you you're never going to get me to play the same one over and over. I don't expect you to either. Now, about me. I'm from the west coast of Canada so I'm PST (aka GMT-8) I played DotA since 5.34 (2003? 2004? not really sure tbh) and after one game of LoL I never looked back. I'm level 21 right now as I'm not hardcore (wish I could be :( ) and I have a pretty ****ty schedule. I work wednesday -> sunday (mon/tues off) usually from around 3 or 4pm until anywhere between midnight and 5am (woot 14 hour shifts) So, I usually find myself playing lots on mon/tues, and a fair amount before (11am - 3pm) work, and sometimes after. We'll obviously have to use Ventrilo, that's really the only way to make **** work. I don't have my own server, but I'm sure I can dig one up for us to use. So, what do I want from you? Mostly the basic stuff.. Ventrilo, as I said, is a must. (with mic) I do not care where you're from, as long as we can play together. You have to know your way around the game. I'm not looking for 100 hours a week hardcore pros here, but I want people who know what they're doing. Take the game somewhat seriously (but please I don't want people who spend their time away from LoL mathcrafting LoL stats) be mature, blablabla all that fun stuff. I guess that's about it. (WOW that was a lot longer than I anticipated) I'll be home from work in 3 hours (midnight PST aka GMT-8) and I'll be throwing down a few games if anyone is interested. Anyway, just leave a post here or msg me in game (Equos) or whatever. CHEERS! |
All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:58 AM. |

This data set includes calibrated brightness temperatures measured over Wakasa Bay in the Sea of Japan in January and February 2003. The MIR was carried on a military-type P-3 aircraft. Brightness temperatures were taken at 57 beam positions covering 100 degrees swath. These data were acquired in support of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) Wakasa Bay Field Campaign. Data are available in binary format from NSIDC via FTP. AMSR-E is a mission instrument launched aboard NASA's Aqua Satellite on 4 May 2002. The Wakasa Bay Field Campaign was designed to validate both AMSR and AMSR-E shallow rainfall and snowfall retrieval capabilities.

CTDC Enters Into Agreement With Wanhe Investment For Private Placement Of US$6 Million Common Shares
HONG KONG, April 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- China Technology Development Group Corporation ("CTDC" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CTDC) today announces that the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with China Wanhe Investment Limited (the "Subscriber" or "Wanhe Investment"), an industrial investment company in China, in connection with a private placement transaction of 2 million shares of the Company's common stock, of which proposed to finance US$6 million.

I am not the best pilot and often try things i shouldn't so i have crashed many square hollow booms, round hollow booms and solid round booms. In my experience which includes many , many broken booms, without a doubt hollow square is stronger than hollow round but solid round is much stronger than both. |

Finally got my Nano CPx going after a bit of a struggle. I purchased one at my LHS, which was DOA, it wouldn't bind. Sent it back to Horizon (I'm in Canada, they're in the States) who fixed it up and sent it back. Took a bit of time - a week to get there, a week at Horizon, a week and a bit to get here. To add insult to injury, the package wasn't marked as a warranty return when they sent it to me so I had to shell out a few bucks to the postie for customs.
Sigh. At least Horizon took care of the issue. Now that's all behind me, I'm loving this little helicopter! I had an FBL100 which flew very well, this is at least as good. Sure takes a beating! It's a bit cool here now so outdoor flights are short as the battery cools down, but everything works well enough. I even managed to get it inverted in my small front room practice zone and land on the ceiling! Here's my take on this model:

I've only fractured one tail-boom between 2 Nanos since September, but I just replaced it with a stock one.
If I were to do a new boom for the nano; coming from the Mcpx; the solid boom option is a no-brainer for me. (wires out and ugly - suck it up baby) I can tell the square boom has merits on paper; and looks very cool though. |

i812, not a problem for me you giving advise without having a Nano. Before I got my Nano I read everything I could and looked at all options openly. After getting the bird I have focused more on the problems and mods on my Nano and lose some of the overall scope of the helicopter. You have the knowledge of what you have read, share it.
As for keying the boom you can just lay it on a flat surface and slide it back and forth without rolling and it will make a nice straightt line along the rod. S |

You can get a solid 2 mm carbon fiber rod at most hobby shops. I sized mine to about 1 cm of distance between the main rotor blade and tail rotor blade. I attached the wires with four tiny dabs of black silicone under the length of the boom. The tail fin has been removed and I use a yellow tail rotor blade. There's no tail wag and it can do a tailslide from 30 feet up.

I was not trying to discount what you said at all and I do think what you wrote to be quite logical advise As you said it is also a no-brainer when it comes to alignment of a square over round boom. What I forgot to write in my previous post was all was true for 100 size or smaller yet not the same for larger helis. Also I am more speaking of overall durability or solid round versus round or square tube. While I do think square tube can be stronger/more durable I think it is situation/application dependent and it has to have a few things going for it. Such as: 1) be on a larger heli where tail flex in a crash wont help the lifespan of the boom (sub 100 I think some flexing during crash is helpful) 2) be better made carbon such as the spiral or weave type As I am sure you know i have had a few of the mini cp's along with the genius heli's. There too i preferred round solid and found once i changed to solid i did not need to replace my tail boom often or if at all. Again I crash alot.... probably more than 10 of you guys flying helis combined So i really have tested boom life on these small heli's This is the type of area i fly in a lot and some of the silly stuff i do with these helis and why I like my solid booms on these little helis

I didn't even bother keying the solid boom, just used a little liquid tape at the junctions. Wanted to get a small 2 pin Dean's connector to place back by the tail motor so I could leave wire taped to boom if I had to take it apart, but just soldered it (hobby shop didn't have those connectors). Again used liquid tape for covering solder junctions.
With all the talk of burnt up boards I did decide to use some regular insulated wire from V911 tail motor along the exposed areas rather than the enamel coated wire. I didn't have trouble with enamel coated wire but wanted to remove some risk. The stock boom is just not usable. The last one I got (cause I needed the motor), had just a very minor crash not even direct hit to boom and it was cracked. |

Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
The Cleveland Indians' lineup came alive at the end of their six-game road trip. It didn't miss a beat in their return home.
The Indians will look to ride their streaking offense to a third straight win as they host the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.After batting .184 during the first four games of a six-game road trip, Cleveland (54-48) has recorded double-digit hits in three straight contests. That culminated in an 18-hit performance in the Indians' 11-8 extra-inning victory over the Rangers on Friday.Three of those came in the 11th, with Ryan Raburn's homer ending it after Cleveland blew a six-run lead."We may not have the best talent, but we have by far one of the tightest teams," first baseman Nick Swisher said. "No one was excited about going to extra innings, but we're always going to keep fighting hard and finding ways to win."Asdrubal Cabrera, Mike Aviles and Michael Brantley each finished with three hits. It was Brantley's first multi-hit performance since July 8.The Indians' offense is starting to come alive, but their rotation has been sparkling for some time. Cleveland's starters have posted a 2.04 ERA since July 9, the best in the AL in that span.It's hard to be much better than Justin Masterson (11-7, 3.60 ERA) was his last time out. The right-hander held Minnesota hitless through six, and wound up leaving after seven having given up only Brian Dozier's broken-bat bloop double and one run in a 7-1 win on Sunday."He was filthy," Dozier told MLB.com. "The whole game, he kept powering sinkers and just fell off the table."Masterson has been anything but filthy against Texas (56-47), going 0-4 with a 7.54 ERA in four career starts. He hasn't faced the Rangers since September 2011, though.Yu Darvish (9-4, 2.86) is also coming off a strong start, as he surrendered two hits in 6 1/3 innings of Texas' 3-0 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. After hitting the first batter he faced, the right-hander retired 11 straight.Darvish has failed to last seven innings in five straight starts. After he went seven-plus in seven of eight starts, averaging 15.9 pitches per inning, the right-hander has been less efficient of late, with 17.8 pitches per inning.He needed 112 pitches to get through six in his lone start against the Indians, allowing four runs but striking out 11 in a 4-2 loss May 6, 2012.Darvish had the highest run-support average in the majors through his first nine starts, getting 9.05 runs per nine innings, but that offensive assistance has all but disappeared over the past two months. He's received 2.77 runs of support on average over his past 10 outings, one of the worst marks in the AL.The Rangers, who have lost 10 of 13, finally saw their bats come to life late Friday. An offense that had topped four runs just once in 12 games coming into Progressive Field scored two apiece in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings."We could have very easily given up, but we didn't," manager Ron Washington said.Elvis Andrus scored twice and singled to extend his hitting streak to eight games. He has five hits and four strikeouts in 10 career at-bats against Masterson.David Murphy is 4 for 4 with a pair of homers against Masterson, while A.J. Pierzynski is 14 for 33 (.424).Adrian Beltre came into Cleveland hitting just .214 since the All-Star break, but he had three hits Friday.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Neuroscience Graduate Program at UCSF
Welcome to the Neuroscience Graduate Program Website
Program Introduction
The University of California, San Francisco offers an interdisciplinary program for graduate training in neuroscience. The purpose of this program is to train doctoral students for independent research and teaching in neuroscience. Participation in Neuroscience Program activities does not require membership in the Neuroscience Program. The program welcomes attendance of all interested UCSF faculty, students and other trainees at its retreat, seminars and journal club.
Our program seeks to train students who will be expert in one particular approach to neuroscientific research, but will also have a strong general background in other areas of neuroscience and related disciplines. To achieve this objective, our students take interdisciplinary core and advanced courses in neuroscience, as well as related courses sponsored by other graduate programs. In addition, they carry out research under the supervision of faculty members in the program.
The faculty of the Neuroscience program are drawn from 15 basic science and clinical departments and three affiliated organized research institutes. At present the program includes 70 faculty members and 98 students. Research interests encompass diverse areas ranging from molecules and cells to systems, cognition, and behavior. Many of our faculty conduct basic research in areas important for understanding neurological disorders, including pain, addiction, degenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. Laboratories use a variety of different organisms for these studies, ranging from invertebrate genetic models to fish, birds, mice and other species of vertebrates.
The program tries to promote multi-disciplinary interactions in both research and teaching. To enhance interactions and knowledge, the program sponsors several activities open to all UCSF scientists, including an annual retreat, a weekly formal seminar series, a weekly journal club, and periodic symposia. The program also collaborates with other programs to sponsor activities of general interest that help advance the careers of our students and other trainees.
The Neuroscience Graduate Program is a member of a consortium of graduate programs, the Herbert W. Boyer Program in Biological Sciences (P.I.B.S.), providing students with access to exceptional faculty and resources for biological research. In addition to Neuroscience, P.I.B.S. consists of graduate programs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, and Genetics. All activities of P.I.B.S. programs, including seminars, journal clubs and retreats, are open to Neuroscience graduate students. Neuroscience graduate students also have the option of completing rotations and theses in any of the more than 200 P.I.B.S. laboratories. PIBS Program Website

Football coach Joe Kanach has been let go at Alhambra High School.
"He is no longer a teacher or a coach," athletic director Jerry DeSantis said.
The athletic director said he was instructed not to make any other
statements or give a reason for his dismissal. Neither school
principal Brad Walsh nor Kanach returned phone calls on Thursday.
Kanach did not attend last Friday night's 30-13 Almont League loss
defeat to Bell Gardens and DeSantis said the decision to no longer
have Kanach on staff happened on Tuesday.
DeSantis will coach the Moors for the remaining four regular-season
games, including tonight at Keppel.
DeSantis said the position will open up at the conclusion of the
"The kids took it well," DeSantis said. "I think we'll be playing a
good game this week. The boys are up."
DeSantis was an assistant coach for longtime Moors coach Gil
Ruedaflores and for Lou Torres, who resigned after to seasons last
"I'm going to let the coordinators run the game, but I'll make the
big decisions," DeSantis said. "We've changed a few things. We'll be
back to Alhambra football."
Alhambra, which returned the most experienced team in the Almont, is
2-4 on the season.
DeSantis said that the Moors could have won the league opener at Bell
Gardens. The Moors were stopped at the 1-yard line with Bell Gardens
ahead, 10-7, in the fourth quarter.
"Then the dam broke," DeSantis said. "If we get into the end zone,
it's 14-7 with six minutes play."

Thursday Night Final: Maranatha keeps rolling; routs Desert Christian, 38-7
TWO IN A ROW: Maranatha's Omar Younger rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns to help the Minutemen to their second consecutive victory with a 38-7 win over visiting Desert Christian Thursday night.Staff photo by Keith Birmingham
By Keith Lair, SGVN
PASADENA - Omar Younger admits he's small. But he's not miniscule.
The senior is 5-feet, 7-inches and 170 pounds. However, in the first five Maranatha High School football games, that size wasn't big enough to squeeze through the smallest of holes.
But suddenly, the holes that the Minutemen are creating are plenty big. Younger rushed for 181 yards and Maranatha scored its second consecutive victory, after opening the season with five defeats, with a 38-7 win over visiting Desert Christian on Thursday night.
It was the coldest night of the football season, but there was not a drop of rain during the nonleague game.
"It's helped me a lot," Younger said of the newfound holes. "Before there weren't as many holes. We struggled. We tried to push and power through, but I'm not that big. I gave it my all."
Younger rushed for two touchdowns, scoring from 62 and 33 yards out in the first half.
"The biggest difference is our offensive line is starting to play really well, which is opening things for Omar," Maranatha coach Peter Karavedas said. "Omar struggled early, but it is more about our offensive line starting to put it together. Now they're starting to play together and opening holes."
It was a season-high rushing game for Younger, who had for 1,300 yards last season but has yet to hit 600 yards this season.
"The line has definitely improved," Younger said. "We got help from (Blair transfer) Logan (McClain) and everybody else has stepped it up. It definitely has helped getting some lanes to pick and choose so I can get through."
That was evident on Thursday's game-changing play.
The Knights, trailing 3-0 after the Minutemen scored on the game's opening drive, had the ball on the Maranatha 24 after a 48-yard run by Caleb Holifield. But he fumbled the ball and Errick Lee recovered.
On second down, Younger went to the outside, found one of those new holes, did a stutter-step and then a zig-zag on the defenders, and went 62 yards untouched for a touchdown to make it 10-0.
Maranatha scored on its first four possessions and led, 24-0, at the half. The Minutemen took advantage of four turnovers in the game.
Four plays after Younger's long TD run, Josh Johnson came up with a Kurt Jolin fumble at the Knights 16. Sophomore quarterback Eli Snyder scored on a sneak to make it 17-0. Michael Cornell picked off a Steven Horner pass and two plays later, Younger was in the end zone on a 33-yard run.
Snyder threw two second-half touchdown passes, both 14 yards to Niko Dobbs. Dobbs had five receptions for 69 yards and Snyder completed six of 12 passes for 85 yards.
"When the line is playing as good as it is, it helps our young quarterback, too," Karavedas said.
Darron McWhorter returned a Horner interception 45 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but it was called back because of an illegal block. Snyder engineered the final TD drive, hitting Dobbs for the score to make it 38-7.
The Knights only threw four passes, of which two were intercepted. Horner completed one pass for no yardage.
RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB: La Salle quarterback Austin Wallis has
passed for 805 yards and nine touchdowns this season for the Lancers.
(Keith Birmingham / Staff Photographer)
By Keith Lair, SGVN
PASADENA - When the 2012 football season began, who the starting La Salle High School quarterback would be was very much up in the air.
Russell Gordon could stick with Austin Wallis, whose 2011 season was tenuous. Or the new coach could install Man Berg, who came to the Lancers from Campbell Hall, where Gordon was the coach last year.
"When I first looked at Austin, I did not know if he could be my quarterback," Gordon said. "All three of my previous quarterbacks eventually played in college. But Austin taught me again to not judge a book by its cover.
"He's a smart kid. He understands that he learns from his mistakes."
PrepXtra Rewind: La Salle coach Russell Gordon and QB Austin Wallis. Plus, the Scouting Guru breaks down the Serra League …
La Salle coach Russell Gordon, "We feel like we can play with anyone in the San Gabriel Valley."
Opening: La Salle coach Russell Gordon and quarterback Austin Wallis. The Lancers are 6-0 after winning one game in two previous seasons. Gordon's thinking big, hoping to schedule the area's best next season, and that includes anyone, including Monrovia, St. Francis, Muir or even some of our heavyweights on the East side.
18:30 mark: The Scouting Guru joins us to talk about the Serra League, plus two-minute drills on Bishop Amat-Alemany, Bonita-West Covina, South Hills-Charter Oak and Gladstone-Duarte. In the segment Aram tells you why Bishop Amat and Charter Oak are so much better than everyone else, and I tell you why El Monte should let QB Brandon Martinez chase every record imaginable.
STAR-NEWS RANKINGS: Monrovia stays on top, San Marino up to No. 2 as St. Francis drops to No. 4 after another close loss; La Salle, Gabby hold ground
1. Monrovia (4-2) — The Wildcats are back in their comfort zone, showing their might with a 53-14 victory over previous No. 7 South Pasadena. It's the first of what should be a sweep through the Rio Hondo League and perhaps the CIF-SS Mid-Valley Divsion.
2. San Marino (6-0) – The Titans, off to their best start in recent memory, move up a notch after another blow-out win. They should continue their march until a late-season showdown at Monrovia at the end of the month.
3. Rio Hondo Prep (5-1) — The Kares also take advantage of St. Francis' loss and take the No. 3 spot. This is another team that might not lose the rest of the way. It's Prep League title and Northeast Division championship for bust for Rio Hondo.
4. St. Francis (3-3) – The Golden Knights could easily be 6-0, instead they are 3-3 and now in danger of missing the postseason, sans upset wins over Serra and Chaminade in the next few weeks. It's time to worry in La Canada.
5. La Salle (6-0) — The Lancers' turnaround just keeps getting better every week. They'll likely play for the eventual Del Rey League title next week. But first a battle at Mary Star (2-1 in league) awaits.
6. Gabrielino (6-0) – The Eagles continue to fly, beating Mountain View convincingly last week. Will it continue against South El Monte?
7. Muir (3-3) – The Mustangs continue to climb the ladder after opening the season with consecutive losses. They get Burroughs this week before a Pacific League showdown against Burbank next week.
8. Duarte (4-2) – The Falcons long road back to the top of the Montivew League rests with a first-place showdown against Gladstone on Friday.
9. South Pasadena (4-2) – The Tigers were no match for Monrovia, but who is? They will be back in their realm this week, and still have a shot to finish in the Rio Hondo League's top three.
10. Pasadena Poly (3-1) – The Panthers, who were idle last week, need to take care of business agaisnt rival Flintridge Prep on Saturday. But the Prep League showdown agaisnt Rio Hondo Prep looms.
The rest: 11. Arcadia (2-4), 12. Rosemead (3-3), 13. Pasadena (2-4), 14. Temple City (3-3), 15. *San Gabriel (1-5), 16. Alhambra (2-4), 17. Flintridge Prep (3-3), 18. Maranatha (1-5), 19. La Canada (1-5), 20. Bosco Tech (1-5), 21. Marshall (3-4), 22. Keppel (0-6), 23. Blair (0-6).
Duarte preps for showdown against Gladstone
RENEWING THE RIVALRY: The last time Duarte and Gladstone met
with high stakes, the Falcons scored a 34-3 victory. The two resume
that rivarly Friday with first place in the Montview League at state.
By Fred J. Robledo, SGVN
Duarte High School football coach Jason Martin knows all about the warm, fuzzy feelings area fans have for Gladstone coach Albert Sanchez.
The Gladiators (6-0, 3-0 Montview League) are off to their best start in school history in what could be Sanchez's final year as head coach after 13 years in charge.
But don't expect the Falcons (4-2, 3-0) to be sentimental when they line up against the Gladiators with sole possession of first place on the line Friday at Citrus College.
Duarte already has crashed one party. It ended Azusa's 27-game league winning streak by crushing the four-time league champs, 40-14, in the league opener.
Duarte beat Gladstone 17-14 last season, and with a win over Azusa in the bank the Falcons are looking to take another big step toward their first league title since 2006.
"First off, hats off to coach Sanchez and that coaching staff," Martin said. "Their quarterback (Kevin Amezquita) is a stud, and if you give him a chance to beat you he's going to beat you.
"What impresses me about them, and this goes back to last year, is their continuity.
"They were a team on the verge last year and you see them putting it all together."
The Falcons have noticed the Gladiators have started slow in almost all of their games. They've come from behind in five of their six wins.
Duarte has been just the opposite in starting fast and finishing slow.
"Finishing games has been a big concern to us, and obviously they've shown they're great finishers," Martin said. "You always want to jump on top of a team, but regardless of whether you have a lead or you have to come from behind, you need to learn how to finish strong.
"That's a characteristic that they have that we're trying to get."
Star-News Pick'em: This week's all about Duarte-Gladstone…I like the Falcons
WILL THE FALCONS FLY?: Gotta go with Duarte over Gladstone in the teams' Monteview League showdown at Citrus College on Friday.
Staff photo by Keith Birmingham
Keith Lair and I will go head-to-head in the Star-News Pick'em. Here is this week's predictions along with how we did last week.
Last Week: Ramirez (13-5); Lair (14-4)
Season: Ramirez (79-36); Lair (80-35)
Last week:Keith and I had a pretty good week, with Keith edging me by one. He correctly tabbed Burbank over Pasadena, while I had the Bulldogs.
This Week: The big game this week is Duarte calling on Gladstone at Citrus College on Friday. The winner has a free road to the Montview League title. Duarte has been putting up big numbers in recent weeks and I think the Falcons offense to continue to be in high gear against the Gladiators, who eked by last last week. Other key battles this week are a first-place tilt between El Monte at Rosemead in the Mission Valley League; St. Francis at Harvard-Westlake; Gabrielino at South El Monte; San Gabriel at Montebello and Burroughs at Muir. I can't see the Panthers corralling Brandon Martinez and the Lions, so go with El Monte. I also like St. Francis over Harvard-Westlake, Gabrielino over South El Monte and Montebello over San Gabriel.

Friday Night Final: St. Francis comes up short; Monrovia, Muir romp as San Marino, La Salle and Gabrielino stay perfect with easy wins
Staff photo by Keith Durflinger
Another Friday Night Lights is in the books, and it was almost business as usual. Monrovia, Muir, San Marino and Rio Hondo Prep all had huge victories and St. Francis had another close loss to the second consecutive week. Rosemead also got a little revenge and San Gabriel got shocked late. San Marino, La Salle and Gabrielino all improved to 6-0.
Here's a brief look at Friday's area games:
No. 1 Monrovia 53, No. 7 South Pasadena 14 – The Wildcats, getting four touchdowns and 142 yards rushing from Ge Vontray Ainsworth, got its first blowout win the Rio Hondo League. There will be others.
Cathedral 42, No. 2 St. Francis 40 – The Golden Knights got 372 yards passing and five touchdowns from Jared Lebowitz, but they couldn't slow down the Phantoms, who showed they are for real, rallying for a 14-point deficit. Cathedral got 272 yards passing and five scores from Hayden Rettig.
No. 3 San Marino 42, La Canada 10 – The Titans continued their hot streak, rushing for more than 300 yards to stretch their record to 6-0. When do they
play Monrovia?
No. 4 Rio Hondo Prep 42, Webb 0 – The Kares, getting two TD passes from Colby Rivera, steamrolled Webb.
No. 5 La Salle 65, Verbum Dei 7 – The Lancers just keep on rolling, improving on their best season in recent memory with a rout. Quarterback Austin Wallis passed for 170 yards and four touchdowns,
No. 6 Gabrielino 28, Mountain View 11 – Still now buying the Eagles? You might have to after Gabrielino improved to 6-0 with an impressive win. QB Elijah Peters threw for 118 yards and two scores.
No. 8 Muir 37, Glendale 0 – The Mustangs, getting two TDs from Joshua Muema and a 60-yard fumble return from Tony Claxton, continue look like the class of the Pacific League. All signs are pointing to a first-place showdown against Burbank in a few weeks.
No. 10 Duarte 49, Workman 0 — Tylik Mason scored a pair of TDs as the Falcons set up a Montview League showdown against Gladstone next week with an easy victory over the Lobos.
Burbank 34, Pasadena 8 – James Williams rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns as Burbank dealt the Bulldogs quest for the Pacific League title a near-fatal blow. Pasadena, hoping to get back Brandon Cox in two weeks, now trails Muir and Burbank by two games in league play.
Rosemead 21, South El Monte 6 — The Panthers (3-3) got four field goals from sophomore Stephen Cansino and outstanding special teams play en route to victory.
Arcadia 49, Hoover 6 — Zachary Yee threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a touchdown as the Apaches stayed in the Pacific League race with an easy win.
Schurr 16, San Gabriel 15 – The Matadors' quest for an Almont League repeat were dealt a blow as Estevan Tonche kicked a 46-yard field goal with five seconds to lead the Spartans over San Gabriel.
Temple City 48, Blair 0 – Look who is riding a three-game win streak? It's the Rams, who got two touchdowns from junior Nick Starling.
Maranatha 40, Heritage Christian 7 – Omar Younger rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries and Reid Pike caught four Eli Snyder passes for 100 yards and two touchdown as the Minutemen scored their first win of the season.
Bell Gardens 30, Alhambra 13 – The Moors, the preseason favorite in the Almont League, is starting to free fall after losing their second consecutive game.
Montebello 34, Keppel 6 – Oilers senior quarterback Matt Saenz completed 11 of 17 attempts for 165 yards and touchdown passes of 19 and 20 yards.
Thursday Night Final: Big plays lead Bishop Montgomery over Bosco Tech in Del Rey League showdown

By Keith Lair, SGVN
SAN GABRIEL — Big plays came at the right time for Bishop Montgomery High School on Thursday night.
The Knights scored four touchdowns of 26 yards or more en route to a 35-14 victory over Bosco Tech in a Del Rey League game at Gabrielino High.
"Give them credit. Those big plays, they killed us," Bosco Tech coach Chris Shockley said. "Take those away and it was a much closer game."
It certainly was not the short, grind-it-out type of football that decided the outcome. Because of the defensive play by both teams, neither team ran the ball effectively, although Bosco Tech's David Fuentes did have 167 yards and two TDs on 32 carries.
It was the Knights, undefeated in league play, and 6-1 overall, who came up with the big plays. Right from the start. Bryan Paredes returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown.
"A couple of big plays and we broke it open," Bishop Montgomery coach Ed Hodgkiss said.
After the Knights stopped the Tigers (1-5, 1-1), Robert Rodgers returned a Fuentes punt 35 yards to the Bosco Tech 45-yard line.
Bishop Montgomery got as close as the 17, but the Tigers held and Jonathan Kim missed his first of three field-goal attempts. The Knights immediately forced a Fuentes fumble, but the Tigers, who held the Knights to 32 yards rushing in the first half, were stopped again, and then Kim missed again.
Paredes then broke through the Tigers again, taking a reverse 26 yards, untouched, for a TD and a 14-0 lead.
"The first half we were shooting ourselves in the foot and it was still only 14 points," Shockley said.
On the Knights' first play of the second half, quarterback Louie Soto went over the middle to tight end Alex Hernandez for 27 yards and Robbie Hou went off tackle on the next play for a 27-yard TD to make it 21-0.
"It's frustrating because you think you're in the game, but you're giving away things like that," Shockley said. "You take those things away and you're right there."
The Tigers finally seemed to get their offense going. They ran off 17 plays, including a pair of fourth-down runs. But Cameron Hughes stepped in front of a Brady Martinez pass along the sidelines and went 70 yards untouched to make it 28-0.
The Tigers' first scoring drive did not take as long. Two helmet-to-helmet personal fouls on a pair of eight-yard runs helped. Fuentes scored from the 4.
"Our offense sputtered," Shockley said. "We could not get the third down (conversion). We were keeping it close, but we couldn't convert. We couldn't get a rhythm going on offense."
Hou then made it 35-7, the Knights finally beginning to find a running game. He scored on a 7-yarder.
Michael Turner led the Knights with 62 yards rushing on nine carries and Hou had 51 yards on 10 carries.
"Both defenses played really well," Hodgkiss said. "Our offense was going off like we usually do."
Fuentes scored on a 23-yard run with 2:05 to play, the Tigers' longest play from scrimmage. It was set up by an Alejandro De La Torre interception.
Turner then had the ball stripped and Edward Osorio recovered on the Bishop Montgomery 21.
The Tigers got to the 1-yard line. With fourth down and 6seconds to play, Martinez's pass was knocked down on what appeared to be a broken play.
Boys water polo: La Canada too much for San Marino

LA CANADA-FLINTRIDGE – The La Canada High School boys water polo team has gone through half a dozen coaches the past five years.
But the Spartans still manage to flourish. They currently are the top-ranked team in the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 and opened Rio Hondo League play with a 21-6 victory over visiting San Marino on Tuesday.
Head coach Devon Borisoff is the secret to the team's success, said senior Symeon Stefan, one of Spartans' top players, and assistant coach Kristen Dronberger.
"He sort of has been a constant," Stefan said. "(The coaching changes) have not been that dramatic. But Devon has been sort of the common thread throughout."
Ironically, Borisoff was unable to make his league debut after receiving a red card in the Spartans' previous match. That led to Dronberger coaching the team and getting her first varsity boys victory. She began coaching the Spartans girls team last year.
"It was a lot quieter," Stefan said. "Usually he's yelling. He's been a key to our success this year and it's kind of odd not having him on deck."

Time Warner Cable entering the iPhone app game
I've been a Verizon FiOS subscriber since the day it rolled out in my neighborhood, and I couldn't be happier (my bank account's demeanor is another story).

Georgetown Country Club
There's a lot to do at Georgetown Country Club, but it's all on an intimate, inviting scale. With eight par-three holes and one par four, the club's nine-hole executive course lets golfers get in a round and still have plenty of time for scorecard origami. In the summer, kids cannonball from diving boards and swimmers speed through eight lap lanes at the outdoor pool, while others sunbathe or lounge under huge blue canopies. A recent addition to outdoor courts for tennis, sand volleyball, and tetherball is a gaga ball court. In this madcap, airborne take on dodgeball, big groups of players use their hands to smack a lightweight ball at other players without being hit themselves.
