A fun week lies ahead, let's look at the best options. After taking in my first baseball game of the season Sunday afternoon, I can attest that the Bees are a fun team to watch so far during the early season. The Bees are in a homestand that has them at Spring Mobile park through Friday night. Fun at the ballpark is indeed tough to beat and tickets are available for all games through smithstix.com.
For a good musical outing, look no further than Tuesday, when Abravanel Hall will be scene of a musical tribute to famed composer John Williams. The Utah Symphony presents the "Musical Magic of John Williams and Assistant Conductor Vladimir Kulenovic will hold the baton during the performance. The sold-out concert will feature the music of "Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," "E.T.," and the "Harry Potter" films, a scene of which is shown above. This should be a terrific night.
And Wednesday, Club Velour in Provo has an intriguing double-bill featuring acclaimed indie songwriter Damien Jurado and the duo Peter Wolf Crier. Either act would be worth the drive. Pairing them together makes it virtually a must-see. Tickets are available at 24tix.com.
The Urban Lounge has two fine indie-rock gigs on tap this week with School of Seven Bells headling Tuesday night's show and New York's Caveman performing Wednesday. Local rockers Tolchock Trio open Wednesday's concert. Both events start about 10 p.m. and tickets remain on sale for both at 24tix.com.

|Just did this the other evening by headlamp - super fun! If you feel comfortable running it out and want to go light, you can get by with a few cams up to 3" for pro/belays.

|The Gaines/Mayville route is called New Latitude (5.12) and is 6 pitches, making it the longest route in terms of pitches...however they are not all full pitches. Without measuring suffice it to say it's the longest traversing route at Josh. Finally a climb for those people who hang out all day at Gunsmoke!

|Right On is a excelent route! Three Stars rating. I have been climbing in Joshua Tree since 1977. Tri- Cams work great on the second pitch on Right On. I use to climb Right On and switch cracks into Orange Flake ,a crack Left of Right On. Try the Rappell routeat the top of Right On, not the standard one put up by John Wolfe. You must walk down a steep ramp to theRappell bolts; a excellent 150 foot Rappell and closer to you car.I installed rhe bolts their in mid 70s

I agree that switching from "Right on" to "Orange flake" adds to this climbs enjoyment. Also, I agree that going light on pro works. Over the shoulder slings helpful. I did not take tri-cams but in hindsight agree that they would work well. Easy to run out, easy to protect.
On the first pitch it might be wise to protect prior to cliping the single bolt on the face. I discovered that even on such an easy climb as this one, over confidence and loss of focus can quickly become a humbling situation (It took some doing to overcome due to ego being overactive). Had I not placed pro in the right hand flake, upon a wee bit of a slip and slide, I today may well be hamburger. Racking on a gear sling as opposed to the harness is a good idea as well. When pressing through the flair on pitch three one can move the gear accordingly.

I finally hauled my butt over and did this climb last Saturday. I wouldn't call it a mega-classic, but it's a lot of fun -- especially the last pitch, even though it's probably the easiest of them.
There are two-bolt anchors at both the first and second belays (both unnecessary, but mighty convenient nonetheless), for those who want to climb this in four pitches. This is a climb that screams for linking pitches, though. The second "pitch" can't be more than 40-50 feet long. With a 60m rope, you can easily link pitch 2 with either pitch 1 or pitch 3. We linked 2 and 3, but if I did it again I'd probably try to link 1 and 2, since the belay ledge on the top of pitch 2 is much roomier and more comfortable than the cave at the top of the first pitch.

|Great climb, this is about as close as it gets to a Tahquitz experience at J-Tree. I've done it twice and have always left feeling very satisfied. All three pitches hold their own in variety and asthetics. Pitch 2 is one hell of a weird experience, never comfortable (think offwidth chimney) but fun none the less.I need to lose weight so I can get my butt back on this climb.

|Did this last week. On the first pitch and below the bolt, we put pro in up and to the right as someone mentioned before. Also, am curious if anyone has ever finish the chimney with a body bridge as we did instead of face climbing the crack to the left. Either way, I agree this is a must-do climb!
By Mark L

I linked P1 and 2 together with a 60m - had about 10' left I think.
P1 can definitely feel spicy if your head isnt into it yet. There are 2 cracks on the right on the first easy (5.1/5.3 maybe) 30' of the face to put in semi crappy tiny nuts. They might or might not hold a fall and if you fall theres no way getting around bumping into stuff on the way down, so its really all about getting to the bolt. The 10' getting from the crack to the bolt on P1 is more like 5.5 but pretty polished. The next 15' or so up to a crack is polished and made me think a bit - first tried going right of the bolt but got shut down on the traverse to the crack and downclimbed to go left of the bolt which worked a lot better. The rock there is pretty polished from so many climbers and few big foot and handholds so I would probably rate that 15' from bolt to crack more like 5.6 - similar to the move on double dip getting into the bowl 1/2 way up. P1 and 2 are very protectable after that.
P3 (chimney) was nice - beginning could be akward if you dont have much experience with it. Knee bar with the left leg or straighten the right when you want a rest. Pro kinda runs out 60 feet up but the angle lessens a lot (maybe 65 degrees) and you wouldnt go anywhere but get stuck in the chimney if you slid. You can sling a flake or two on the way up. Hand size pieces work well the first 50 feet. Near the top of the chimney there is an arete to the left of the chimney you can face climb for 15' as the chimney deepens. On the right side of the arete is a gulley past some boulders you are aiming for. There is a flake on the right side of the arete you can undercling to get there.
P4 is nice cruiser 5.0/5.3 knob climbing for the most part. Lots of chicken heads to sling off or tuck the rope behind. As you get about 120' up, you need to go leftish about 15' instead of heading up the blanker face. When you get over a little you'll see the notch with a boulder stuck near the top of it. Drop over and behind it, belay. Then you downclimb (3rd/4th class) 15 feet and anchors are just to the north (climbers left) 15 feet.

|Did this climb yesterday. what a fun climb! we are from colorado so we were kind of clueless about the thing, and not having too much off-width chimney experience, thought we were off route on p2 lol. but it was fun, and it is a must do! awesome exposure on the last pitch!

|Climbed this thing yesterday. Was hoping to get some longer multi-pitch experience to prepare for Tahquitz. This fit the bill perfectly. I would say that Mark's comments are dead-on. The only thing I would add is that his description of the fourth pitch seems to avoid the exposed slab finish, which nobody should miss. After leaving the crack system and moving left on the 4th pitch: instead of heading for and belaying in the notch with the bolder, you should continue up the face past horizontals to the very top slab, where chicken heads and lumpy rock make for easy and fun 5.1-5.3 climbing to the finish. you can put a few pieces in behind some of the horizontals but the last 30 feet or so is largely unprotected. There are rappel anchors on the left of this top ledge.

I'm starting to wonder if we went off track on this route. It seems that after the chiminey some people go right into the boulder jumble and then into a gulley? We climbed out of the chimney, went left up the crack in the slab to a vertical wall, then left across the top of the slab to a wide crack, and a short couple moves up the crack to a large, comfortable belay station. From here, a crack leads straight up, with a few exposed moves then runs to the top. I thought this top pitch was a little tougher than the route description made it sound. From the top, we downclimbed a wide chiminey 20 feet to a huge ledge and used the chains on left, leaving us in good position for the 3rd class decent to the start of the route.
Does anyone else climb this direction? Or do people climb right out of the chiminey? Going left seemed right to me at the time, but I wasn't leading. If this is the Right On route, MP should add a couple lines on P3, to go left from the top of the slab crack to a wide crack, up a couple moves to the large belay station.
What do you all think?

|I think when we went left at the top of the chiminey, we picked up the second half of orange flake. There were no chicken heads on our fourth pitch and it was def. not 5.0-5.3, as a climber previously noted. Anyhow, this makes an exciting option.

IMHO, this route is for competent 5.8-5.9 leaders, not beginners as one might assume with the low grade and stars. P1 is bold, certainly far above a mere 5.5 rating. Protection is slim and moves are good ones. A leader must bring his/her "A" game as sections present significant falls - glad I didn't draw the short straw! P2 is fantastic, good fun. Make sure you volunteer to lead that one. P3 on the other hand is a grovel. OW technique should be solid as I felt that this pitch offered moves well above the 5.5 grade. Included on this pitch was some significant run-out and some loose rock. P4 - This is where things get interesting. We must have followed the same route as Justin (see note below). Fun, but solid moves right from the start and a section that thinned out. No chicken heads around these parts. Fun pitch. The rap was a bit interesting. Chains proved to be a sweet reward. Just be mindful to not rap down the slabby stuff on your left, but instead rap straight out towards a gully offering a smooth walk down (relative to Josh).
Justin, I have to disagree with Duke's assessment. I believe you climbed the top pitch of Orange Flake - as we did today - JULY 3rd (this weather is nuts!). After examining the pics attached to this route and reading Mark L's suggestion of going right out of the chimney, I think we both did a much more difficult variation (left of the chimney) - 5.7 at the very least.

I'll second Dave's comment on leading this route - be at least a 5.8 leader before jumping on this thing.
P1 - moderate slab moves with very little protection.. don't blow it.
P2 - fun
P3 - the chimney gets pretty run out at the top, but its easier ground.
P4 - the only pitch true to this climb's rating imo. Did a variation with a fun hand crack climber's right of the 'notch'. A nice ledge traverses from the top of the crack left to the notch, but you'll get considerable rope drag.

|Lots of different types of climbing. The chimney is way fun but much too short. It's over so fast. I agree with Tyler, don't blow the moves above the bolt on the 1st pitch. Like Ron says, I shouldn't have problems with it, but I always do. Lends a serious air to the route, at least for me.

It's questionable if I've done this route before. If so, it had to be 15+ years ago. I was looking forward to no crowds and a quick dash up this classic 3 1/2 star route. We ran into some friends at the base and probably didn't rope up until at least 4:30pm. So for time and ease I didn't even attempt the lead. Thank GOD as not only did I find the 1st pitch challenging but 2 & 3 as well. Don't get me wrong, great climbing, fun and varied but the 1st pitch is kinda run and the chimney albeit terrific kinda awkward. I'm not certain that I wouldn't have lost my wig on the sharp end. I'll say this, if you're a budding .5 leader..... heads up!
It's a great route but IMO harder than .5! YMMV
Side note, we did it in good time. Russ left the rack of 4 pieces on the ground so it was done with only the bolts, 1 slung horn and a fixed nut at the 2nd pitch. "RIGHT ON"!!!!

First pitch isn't too bad. There are multiple options: 1) straight up from the bolt up steeper slab with some good edges and crimps. 2) From bolt go left, up, then right diagonal up; this is less steep, but risks a larger whipper/pendulum. 3) Up and right past the bolt through a couple of cracks and some smaller slab moves. Option 2 seemed most appropriate, and most parties I saw vied for this option. Once in the left leaning crack, fairly straight forward. good hand jams and minor OW technique (elbows and stacked hands, but low angle once in the crack); takes camalot #'s 1-3.
Second pitch (if passing the first bolted anchors since it is easily combined with the first pitch with a 60 m rope): very run out once in the flaring chimney, but very low angle. I found this to be very doable and not heady, even without placing any gear. Make sure you have basic chimney technique down. Stay in the chimney until the end of it and the gully appears. I set up a belay here, but it is best to climb up a little higher to better prep for the final pitch.
Third pitch: Up the gully, and either up the hand crack bulge (fun if you love jamming) or traverse left, away from the bulge. Then up the notch, and continue past the large horn, climbing up onto the right hand side. This takes you to the top of the formation. There is about 15-20 feet of slab, but it's very positive. A 2-bolt anchor is at the top.
Descent: Rap about 30-40 feet to the next large ledge, where you'll find another rap anchor. Rap a second time; this rap, with a 60 m rope will take you to within 5 feet of the base, but the final 5 feet are very easy to downclimb (4th class).
Scramble down the side toward the trees near the start of the climb.
All in all a fun day, but not to be taken lightly if you're thinking 5.5 will be a gimme. Most pitches are easily and confidently (if not necessarily) run out with many jugs, but require some route finding. Feels more like an alpine climb than a normal multipitch route.

5.5 my ass.
Pitch one was heady (found a bail biner on the bolt! - hanger spins too) and I definitely made some 5.6+ moves above that bolt a ways (might not have traversed left enough before going up). Pitch two was a bit grunty, but not hard. Pitch 3 I chimney'd the whole way; hard to get established, then just don't fall. Pitch 4 was easy, fun, and a relaxing finish. GREAT VIEWS, great route.

|Bring no bigger than #3 and don't forget some small TCU's for the first pitch which is slightly R rated. Rope drag on the last pitch is an issue. A full body workout for sure. Next time I'd link 1 and 2. Pretty burly first pitch: Make sure your head is on straight.

this looks like an awesome route. this past friday on march 23 i went to climb "right on", but i didn't have an awesome time, haha.
first climb of the day. i should have read mountain project before heading out there, i figured 5.5, no problem. first pitch is spicy, i would give it a 5.6 possibly even a 5.7 pg13 depending which way you go up the slab. i climbed up to the bolt, which wasn't too bad at all. after the bolt is where it gets steep. i saw that i could have traversed left or right at the bolt towards a crack, but opted for going straight up. i wish i would have traversed left, then gone up diagonally to the crack at pitch 2. going above the bolt is very steep, though there are decent holds. unfortunately i fell from one of these holds between the bolt and the crack. i had a nasty fall and fractured my left ankle, sprained my right ankle. i had to be lowered down and left a red sling and some wire gate carabiners at the bolt for the next party to snag. what an ugly start to what should have been a great weekend.
the scramble/walk back to the car was horrible, so definitely don't get hurt on this climb, haha.
i am currently sitting here with a boot on my left foot, and an ankle brace on my right foot. make sure you have a clear head before getting on this one. i don't have a lot of slab experience, i guess i need to get some.

|Nice route. First pitch is 5.5 if done right. At the first bolt go left about 20 to 30 feet and then up a diagonal ramp heading back to the main crack. The opening moves on the third pitch would be the physical crux and they are not 5.5 or 5.6, but you are standing on very big ledge and your going to have to work to get off the ledge. Great climb for beginners to follow or lead if they have the head for long runouts. Its popular!

|Started too far right on P1 and stayed in the OW crack/chimney under the huge right-facing flake. Felt quite a bit harder than 5.5 that way, and I was wishing I had a half-dozen #3s and #4s on me. Anyone else gone up P1 this way?

|Yes, I use to climb Right On that way also to get to the first belay ledge with my twin brother Don and It was much harder than 5.5 . I started climbing Right On in the 70's when every pitch did not have any bolts. My friends and I climb back than with chocks wearing EB's shoes and using goldline rope.I neveer climb Right On using TCU in hindsight I wish I did because of the long runouts.

Ok, I read all the comments on this multi-pitch route, and I didn't seem to find some very relevant information I wish I knew before the 3 of us went on this route.
First off, let it be known that the descent of this route is way too long. No comments or notes have been made of this info on the guide book or here. There are bolts behind the top on a ledge for an 80' rappel, BUT after getting down from that 80' rappel you are still way far from the actual ground level. There is a super long scramble down a lot of small and large boulders to get to the bottom. I wish we would have known this before we decided to do this complete route.
Bring small cams and tinny nuts, to set up your first belay station off the ground over a small ledge. You can choose to belay off the ground if you want to, but the first ledge is only about 15-20 feet up and only has one small crack to place all of your protection.
The off-width chimney on P3- all I have to say about this is, unlike everyone else's comments, I can pass on this particular pitch any day. This section was possible, but darn painful for skinny people like me that do not have enough back and butt padding to smear and put opposite pressure against the other side of the rock. Plus I am not a fan of long run outs, or not being able to place any protection. On this section, expect to put nothing, because is too far to reach when you are doing the off-width.
On P4 there is a traverse, so be sure to bring long slings for this one or else you will have massive rope drag. We had 2 ropes, since there were 3 of us, and pulling 2 ropes up that pitch without any rope drag is heavy enough.
Once you reach the summit, is not over... you have to down climb behind the rock to a large ledge. Don't put your hand on the wall hole to the left of the anchors! I did and woke up a bat that came out flying out and scared me half to death!
After rappelling the 80' wall, prepare to scramble your way to the ground a long ways. 350'-80' = about 270 feet of down hill scramble. Yep, that is no joke.
I love climbing and muti-pitches, but this was by far the most time consuming climb I have ever experienced.
Pitch 1 and 2 were great. Everything after that, I could do without. If we ever go back, ever, we will just rap off the 2nd anchor and move on with our lives.

|My mistake. I meant to say climbing with chocks and Tri Cams in climbing this route. I have never used any type of friends or any other TCU devices in climbing Right On. I have climb this route over thirty times beginning in the mid 70's. Also, in his post on Right On, Locker agrees with me that switching from "Right on" to "Orange flake" adds to this climbs enjoyment. I also enjoy using you Fish products in aid climbing .

I agree with DaveGustafson. This route is dangerously under-rated. The first pitch is easily 5.8 slab climbing, if not harder. Add to that the potential to deck before clipping the first bolt, and you're in for a big and unpleasant surprise. Past the bolt, it just gets harder on semi-decent feet and barely functional hand holds, and remains sustained until you hit the crack. A fall before the crack would also be unfavorable and you'd hit the apron below.
P1 - 5.8X/5.9R slab climbing.
P2 - 5.5/5.6 awkward crack climbing (super secure, easily protected)
P3 - 5.6/5.7R grovel fest in a barely protectable chimney.
P4 - 5.5 well deserved mild romp to the top.
I thought Tahqutiz 5.6 was the most terrifying grade out there. Turns out J-Tree 5.5 takes the prize. I'll never climb 5.5 in J-Tree again.

It's really not very hard. At least 30+ people who took the time to log a consensus grade have it at 5.6 or UNDER. Great route, and the best 5.5 in the Park.

The way you went up is not the start of "Right On", but rather the start of "Bosch Job" and another route (5.10 on first pitch). My partner tried going up this several days ago, but after falling several times we realized we were off route. The problem with the Miramontes guidebook is it makes you think that this is the beginning of the route, when the actual beginning is around the corner to the left.
I have found all of the descriptions in the guidebooks to be somewhat vague about this climb. First, beginning climbers should realize that this is an "old school" route, so do not be fooled by the 5.5 or 5.6 rating. If you are solid at slab climbing and route finding, then the rating will apply. If you are new to slab climbing, then the first pitch will be very spicy and runout. The Miramontes guidebook makes it appear like the first two bolt belay station is right above the single bolt, but it is 60 feet higher.
Pitch two is a short perfect full hands crack. The start of pitch three is highly polished because people do not clean the bottom of the shoes before starting up from this sandy ledge. It is probably harder than 5.5 or 5.6, but any falls will be very short onto the ledge. Get in a piece of gear here right away in the crack on the right. As you get higher, the face becomes rougher. Either run it out or take big cams (the crack eventually gets so wide that cams will not work, but you will not fall down so much as fall into a narrowing crack - I used old style BD 4.5 and 5.0 Camalots). You will go through a squeeze section, so do not have your shoes or a backpack on your back in this section.
I agree with others that the 5.5 rating did apply to the last pitch. This pitch is straight forward. Be prepared for a 30 runout on slab to the very top.
Ignore what guidebooks tell you regarding the descent. From the top make a 50 foot rappel from the rappel chains to a ledge with blocks. Then walk about 15-20 feet to the right along a wall to a second set of rappel chains. Here a single 60 m rope will get you with some rope stretch to the bottom down a slab next to an offwidth dihedral or deposit you onto a pedestal 10 feet up from which you can easily down climb. Double ropes will get you down and allow you to rappel even further to avoid a 3rd class down climb on a lower slab. Follow the faint climber's trail down through boulders and dead trees to the level ground.

@ OlgaMP - its called multipitch trad, usually this involves a walkoff! Can't believe that's surprising. Its not that long and is very mellow for any Jtree descent.
@ Eric "Pig" Varley - "5.8 X" !!! haha
Thanks for making me feel like a badass for leading this early in my career, when I was a 5.8ish leader. (checked and I'd been leading trad ~7 months and this was my most committing lead for sure at the time)
This is getting to be a bit too much of a discussion. Maybe the mods can move some posts.

Right On
I have been climbing Right On for over 25 years. I used to switch cracks into Pitch 2 sometimes on Orange Flake. My first time up Right On was in 1977 and no bolts were installed on any pitch ! My last climb up this face was in 1992 which was my 29 ascent on this route and every pitch except pitch 4 had bolts. I installed a rap station near the top of Right On in the late 70's. Not the traditional rap station installed by John Wolf on top of Right on because you must down climb a long slab from the top to the rap bolts and rap 140 feet down the smooth face, avoiding hiking down the gully; you must bring two ropes. I have in the past climb this entire route under one hour. On pitch 3, stay on the left side of the face and avoid the main crack system but stay near the main crack but not in it until you are near the top of P3. Do not go to far left near the top of P3. Than, you can climb this pitch real easy rather than being in the main crack system which is awkward and strenuous. Switching cracks sometimes into Orange Flake makes this route fun. Take a set of "tri Cams" they work well on this route.

|Fun climb. Recommend against attempting a mysterious 3 bolt slab to the right of the final pitch. We`d been climbing friction for a couple days anyway and I figured, how bad could it possibly be? Whatever it was it wasn't pleasant, nor was my effort entirely successful.

5.8/9 R/X? Wtf? That's funny. Fun route, easy day, No groveling needed.
P1- I went up the face route not the flake start to the right. Good gear then pro flake (small tcu or nut) to go out left to get the bolt if your want. I traversed a few feet to the left after the bolt then went up. It's a run to get to the crack but way easier then any 5.6 face route in josh IMO.
P2- up the great hand/fist crack in corner to another bolted belay. Again 5.5 maybe
P3- all this gibberish about knee bars and grunts.... Just stand up with your back to the wall and chimney. For like a move. Then awesome edges appear and you can just bridge the gap for about half way. I placed pro here then went out to the face on the left, it's runnout but it looked cool and I had enough of the chasm. Ended on the blocks that choke the chimney at the top.
P4- climb the great face/corner system to the notch. My favorite pitch of the route just cause it was easy.
Great route, not bad but you have to be prepared to punch it on the first pitch. It seemed no worse then any other slab pitch for the grade like black tide or other stuff around. Have fun and have an adventure!

|When the P3 chimney peters out, I went left up a flake and slab, traversed left 30 ft, and went up a short offwidth to a belay. I think I switched cracks to a different route? Made it a little harder than 5.5, or whatever you rate the earlier pitches!

|Last year in April I climb Right On with my best friend Danny. We decided to climb the route the same way we did in 1977. I only had chocks with us and no TCU with us because they were not out yet. The first pitch was always steep, I used only one protection point just before the bolt which was not installed in the mid 70's. I did not clip that bolt . The second pitch was steep and my chocks worked well in the crack in gaining the next ledge . The third pitch, I just used the two bolts at the belay ledge and ran out the whole pitch because my chock would not fit in the wide cracks system. The last pinch was easy and I only used two chock getting over the top. This would be my last climb doing Right On and it was my 30th time up this great wall starting back in the 70's. I wore only my PA's my climbing shoes I had for over twenty years, my friend Danny just wore his tennis shoes . The first time I climb Right On no bolts were on any of the belay ledges. Over the years they started showing up with the last one installed on the first pitch.

|I led p1 in April 2015 when I was a 5.6-7 leader (5.5-6 at josh), and it wasn't too bad. A few moments of hesitation in the top half, but okay. I went to repeat it on Dec. 27, not thinking about the fact that it would be entirely in the shade. That slab was dramatically harder with very cold toes. I ended up working the top half of the pitch for about 15 minutes, ended up running it out way left towards Orange Flake and then back over to the right to avoid the steepest section. I did not anticipate the difference in difficulty that would be caused by the colder rock. I've since led much harder friction on the same trip, but in the sun.

|Revisited this route while teaching a newish leader this last weekend. P1 is a typical runout "welcome to JT" slab section, with which you should take your time. I also agree that the traverse left to finish out Orange Flake is well worth it. Great route to get some miles in on.

Lancers Snap ECC Volleyball 32-Match Conference Win Streak
The last time El Camino College lost a South Coast Conference match was one of the greatest days in Pasadena City College women's volleyball head coach Tammy Silva's coaching career. On Nov. 18, 2009, Silva coached PCC to a 16th consecutive victory to close out the school's first-ever SCC championship by sweeping El Camino on the road.
Since that match, El Camino rattled off back-to-back undefeated, 14-0 conference seasons and had opened up 2012 with four more SCC victories. On Friday night, the Warriors' 32-match conference win streak came to an end against the Lancers, 25-20, 26-24, 20-25, 25-19, before a lively crowd at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
Pasadena (11-3 overall), the state's No. 10-ranked team, remains in a tie for the conference lead at 5-0 with No. 14-rated Mt. San Antonio. Sixteenth-ranked El Camino (10-4, 4-1) dropped to third place. PCC is undefeated at home this season at 6-0.
The Lancers overcame one of their worst hitting matches (.154 and 30 attack errors) by playing solid defense, passing, and serve receive. Libero Jennifer Estrada made 19 digs while Viridiana Gallardo had 15 digs and nine kills.
"We won tonight because of our passing and defense," Silva said. "Neither team hit very well, so you have to cut down on errors in the other areas. Jen Estrada was passing at a 2.3 rating and Gallardo a little more than 2, which is fantastic. One player who did show up as a hitter was our opposite Yanise Joseph. She stepped up her game in our most important match to date."
Joseph finished with a match-high 12 kills, hitting at a .321 clip plus she added three assisted blocks. Setter Kailey Faust continued to put up solid overall numbers with 40 assists, four kills and seven digs. Middle blocker Megan Callen contributed eight kills, three aces, and five blocks (two solo), and Nora To'omalatai tacked on 10 kills. Middle blocker Jackie Valle-Acosta knocked down nine kills and had three assisted blocks.
ECC was led by Tarryn Luafalemana, who made last year's All-CCCAA State Final Four Tournament Team, with 11 kills and two solo blocks.
In set 2, PCC was tied 24-24, but a service error by Luafalemana was followed by an ace by Callen to clinch the second game. Overall, Pasadena served eight aces to only four by El Camino.
In the third set, ECC jumped ahead 11-7 and never lost the lead in taking the game. In the decisive fourth set, the Lancers went in front, 14-13, on a Callen kill. Pasadena made five straight points and never looked back.
The Lancers next host Cerritos College on Wednesday, Oct. 17. First serve is at 6 p.m. at Hutto-Patterson gymnasium.

File properties are details about a file, such as author names, tags, or the date when a file was last modified. To learn about tags and how to use them, see Tag pictures so they're easier to find.
Properties make your files easier to find and organize. For example, you can search for a file by one of its properties. You can also use libraries to arrange files by a property. If you're browsing the Documents library, for example, and you want to see the most recently changed files first, you can arrange the files by the Date modified property.
Here are some ways you can add new properties to a file or change existing ones:
The details pane, located at the bottom of a folder window, displays the most common properties for a file. You can add or change file properties, such as tags, author name, and rating, from the details pane. Here's how:
Open the folder that contains the file you want to change, and then click (don't double-click) the file.
In the details pane at the bottom of the window, click next to the property that you want to add or change, type the new property (or change the property), and then click Save.
To add more than one property, separate each entry with a semicolon. To rate a file by using the ratings property, click the star that represents the rating you want to apply.
If you don't see the file property you're looking for, try enlarging the details pane to see more file properties. To do this, click the top edge of the details pane and then drag it upward.
If the file property that you want to add or change isn't available in the details pane, you can open the Properties dialog box for a complete list of file properties.
Open the folder that contains the file you want to change.
Right-click the file, and then click Properties.
In the Properties dialog box, click the Details tab.
Under Value, click next to the property that you want to add or change, type a word or phrase, and then click OK. (If the section under Value appears blank, click in that spot. A box will appear.)
Some properties can't be added or changed. In those cases, clicking next to the value won't change its appearance.
To add more than one property of the same type, separate each property with a semicolon. To rate a file by using the ratings property, click the star that represents the rating that you want to apply.
You might be able to add or change properties for a file when you create and save it, avoiding the need to find the file and add properties later.
In the program you're using, on the File menu, click Save As.
In the Save As dialog box, type tags and other properties in the appropriate boxes.
Type a name for the file, and then click Save.
Not all programs offer the option to add or change properties while saving a file.
If you plan to share a file with someone, you might want to remove some of the file's properties, especially if they contain personal information. For example, the Author property might include the names of people who collaborated on a file, and tags might have words or phrases that you don't want other people to see.
Click Remove Properties and Personal Information.
In the Remove Properties dialog box, do one of the following:
Click Create a copy with all possible properties removed, and then click OK. This keeps the original version of the file with all of its properties, and makes a copy with all of the properties removed that's suitable for sharing.
Click Remove the following properties from this file, select the check box for each property that you want to remove, and then click OK. This permanently removes the selected properties from the file without making a copy.
The Remove Properties dialog box only removes properties that were added using Windows. If you added properties using a different program, you must remove those properties using that program.
You can't add or change the file properties of some types of files. For example, you can't add any properties to TXT or RTF files.
The properties that are available for a file will vary by file type. For example, you can apply a rating to a song file, but not to a text document.
Some file properties (such as the length of a song file) can't be modified.

New business will help spur shopping options
Published: Friday, February 21, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 12:38 p.m.
Another large, vacant retail space will soon gain new life in Lexington — and shoppers in western Davidson County will have another option for their grocery purchases. If all goes according to plan, a Walmart Neighborhood Marketplace will open its doors within a year at the site of the former Winn-Dixie in the Lexington Center on U.S. Highway 64 West. The Winn-Dixie and two adjacent retail spaces will be torn down to make way for the marketplace.
This brings good news on many fronts. A building that has sat unused since 2005 will be demolished and a new structure rise in its place. The new business should help other establishments in the Lexington Center as well. Shoppers not only gain a new option, but it could create lower prices in other nearby grocery stores. It also will bring 90 new jobs to the city and help further reduce the county unemployment rate.
Efforts by the city, Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce and others to attract new businesses and reduce the number of empty buildings continue to pay off. Sometimes new occupants can move in with relatively little work. Other properties require extensive renovations. And sometimes tearing down an existing structure at a prime location and starting over provides the best option.
Not that long ago numerous big-box locations dotted the city, but that number has fallen drastically. Churches, senior care organizations and other retail establishments now fill those properties. Shoppers might prefer to see a more diverse collection of businesses, but any use of a building is better than seeing a structure sit vacant year after year.
The Walmart Neighborhood Market also provides a new business in northwest Lexington. When Childress Vineyards opened, the expectation was that area would blossom, especially sitting at the intersection of U.S. Highways 64 and 52. However, that really hasn't happened, and even the Shoppes at the Vineyards have struggled to fill vacancies. But two new apartment complexes offer the promise of a population boom in the area, so some businesses may now reconsider the location as a place to build or move.
Lexington sits in a strategic location along Interstate 85 between Greensboro and Charlotte and on U.S. Highway 52 between Winston-Salem and Salisbury and points south. Highway traffic can keep some businesses afloat, but others need a steady stream of local customers as well. Downtown has seen a renaissance over the past few years, so the retail climate offers its best outlook in some time. And while Walmart evokes strong reactions from folks, not always positive, the new marketplace store continues a string of positive developments in the business sector.

Take time out of your noisy life and head to the peaceful Heber Valley. Just on the other side of the Wasatch, this fall-colored destination is perfect for the family.
How to get there
I-80 East to exit 146 and merge onto US-189. Even if you drive slowly through Parley's Canyon, marveling at the beautiful fall colors, you'll still be in Heber City in an hour. So don't rush.
Where to stay
Crash in Heber City for easy access to Kamas, Midway and outdoor adventures. Stay in luxury at Daniels Summit Lodge, where you'll have a fireplace, full-service kitchen and patio. If it's still warm, have a barbeque. Ask about cabin/massage combo packages. Highway 40, Daniels Summit Pass, 435-548-2300, danielssummit.com
Heber Valley Railroad
The vintage locomotive, Soldier Hollow Express, rides through beautiful foliage past Deer Creek Reservoir and Decker Bay. Take a special train to the pumpkin patch, get lost in the hay maze and pick a pumpkin to bring home with you. There's pumpkin decorating, cookies and hot cocoa on the way back to the depot. Before or afterward, enjoy upscale, modern Western cuisine at the nearby Snake Creek Grill (650 W. 100 South) beforehand. 450 S. 600 West, 435-654-5601
The great outdoors
The Blue Ribbon Provo River, between Heber and Midway on Midway Lane, is our favorite fly-fishing spot, with brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout. Cascade Springs trail is 22 minutes from Heber City—southeast on Highway 189 and then a right on Highway 92. This hike takes you over paved and dirt trails in the shadow of Mount Timpanogos and only takes 15 minutes to a half hour. Want more of a challenge? Try Duchesne Ridge—Highway 248 to Kamas, State Route 32 to Francis. Then take State Route 25 east. Go 15 miles until you see the signs for Mill Hollow and be prepared to climb. Anglers should make sure they hook up with Rocky Mountain Outfitters (call 435-654-1655), the hook up for guided fly-fishing to some of the West's best waters (and horseback rides).
One Day in Midway
Swim or scuba dive at the Homestead Resort's crater, filled with 90-degree mineral water and located in a natural dome with a hole at the top to let in fresh air (700 N. Homestead Dr.). Lunch at the Cuckoo Café (195 E. Main St.) for paninis (less than $8) and dinner at the award-winning Blue Boar Inn (1235 Warm Springs Rd).
Wasatch Back Links
The golf course at Wasatch Mountain State Park has beautiful vistas all year long at 6,000 feet. Now, add the red, orange and yellow-hued trees. stateparks.utah.gov
Heber City's Cowboy Poetry Gathering and Buckaroo Fair
Five days of cowboy merchandise and performances by the best cowboy poets and musicians in the West, plus the Cowboy Film Festival. hebercitycowboypoetry.com.

I agree with Lord. If you want to have the forums as popular as the site, make them more noticeable on the site.
Perhaps we could move all the walkthrough to stickies on the forums, or something... The site could allow people to navigate to the forums, and then when they're there, BAM.

Good changes, God.
However, I moved Pokemon Connection back out to make it more discoverable.

Combination seems like what everyone is wanting and I agree with god, update and upgrade this place as much as you can without killing yourself over a boiling monitor
I feel I should point out that some of us have very little to do with the metagame, the anime or indeed anything beyond the game itself. Posting in the pokemon section requires people to be interested in such things.
We need more game section threads. On other sites a lot of there activity isn't from disussions but from "poke-polls" like we have with you favorite pokemon but there is literally one formed every hour that popular. I am not saying we need to form one every hour but possibly a new pokepoll every week.
Polls for favourite pokemon? Isn't that just flamebait?
If I remember correctly Google ranks pages by the number of pages linking to them.
True. I just hope the potential consequences are worth it.
Maybe if we knew why people came here we could use that to make sure they stay.
Oh, well, that's easy. We kill off a couple of members for the good of the forum and all is well.

UMUC Library OneSearch:
Exploring Additional Resources
Run time: 3:40 | Requires Flash Player. | Transcript | Last updated: 9/14/2011
(object placeholder)
This presentation covers how to explore additional resources in UMUC Library OneSearch. It will take about 3 minutes to review.
Using UMUC Library OneSearch is a great way to research your topic in-depth, because it allows you to explore numerous library resources.
Let's use the search example "college students" AND stress AND "United States". Note: putting phrases in quotation marks tells the database to search for that exact phrase. Using AND tells the database to search for items containing all of our search terms. When you're ready, click on the search button.
You will notice on the right side of the screen "Additional Resources to Search." Listed here are several resources which allow you to explore your topic more in-depth. To expand the additional resources list click the Show All link.
First, uncheck the box next to EBSCO Discovery Service. Next, check the box next to ABI/INFORM Complete and then click Update.
As you can see, there are over 100 items in the ABI/INFORM Complete database on our topic – items we would have missed if we had not explored "Additional Resources to Search."
To retrieve the text of an item, click the Retrieve Item button. The article opens in another window, allowing you to easily navigate back to OneSearch.
When viewing additional results, OneSearch will display 30 results at a time. To see more results, simply click the More Results link.
As noted in the previous tutorial, you can refine results by limiting to scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals.
To find items in a different database, check the box next to the database, Contemporary Women's Issues for example. Next, uncheck the box next to ABI/INFORM Complete. Click Update to see the list of items available in the Contemporary Women's Issues database.
You can build upon your original search at any time by adding additional search terms. For example, if you want to exclude alcohol, you would select NOT from the list of operators.
Then type alcohol before clicking Search. Note: OneSearch will suggest terms as you type – terms that may or may not be related to your search.
You can easily link to subject guides and course resource guides from the UMUC Library OneSearch page.
You can also chat with a UMUC librarian without leaving OneSearch, in case you have any questions about your research.
This tutorial explored the many additional resources available in UMUC Library OneSearch. A world of information awaits you in OneSearch. Try it today!
Please contact a UMUC librarian if you need help with UMUC Library OneSearch, or for any of your research needs. We are available a number of ways including instant messaging, phone, and walk-in visits, as well as 24/7 via e-mail and live chat. Thank you for viewing this presentation.

Nurse case management (NCM):
A collaborative process used to meet worker's healthcare and rehabilitation needs. The nurse case manager:
- Works with the attending provider, worker, allied health personnel, and insurers' staff to assist in locating a provider and/or with coordination of the prescribed treatment plan, and
- Organizes and facilitates timely receipt of medical and healthcare resources and identifies potential barriers to medical and/or functional recovery of the worker, and

"[Singing] We-e-e-ell, Be-bop-a-Lula, she's my baby, Be-bop-a-Lula, she's my baby, Be-bop-a-Lula, she's my baby, Be-bop-a-Lula, I don't mean maybe, Be-bop-a-Lula she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll. Whoah. What I'm trying to tell you is that it doesn't get much better than that. And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about "Be-bop-a-Lula."
The first time I heard "Be-bop-a-Lula," I was of course riding along in the car, 'cause that's where you hear great rock and roll. I was in my dad's car, and I just stopped, and I said, "Man, that sounds great." I thought so then, and I think so right now. I do believe that this record is probably one of the greatest records ever made. That voice, man, Gene Vincent. He fooled a lot of folks with that record. I've heard the legend that he actually fooled Elvis' momma, and she was real mad that the King hadn't told her he had a new record coming out, called "Be-bop-a-Lula." Anyway, the sound of Cliff Gallup's guitar, drummer screaming in the background, I think it's what we call attitude. Well, a lot of us rockers have wondered for a long time, why isn't Gene Vincent in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Well, that's about to change. You could have called anybody in the world who loves rock and roll, but I'm the lucky guy who gets to say this. It is my great honor and privilege to welcome Gene Vincent into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "

A few years ago some friends were planning a trip to the South of France. Some other friends offered a suggestion of a restaurant that was in their words "the best meal we have ever had!" Unfortunately for my friends it was "the worst meal they ever had!" A lot had changed in the three years since their friends had eaten at this restaurant.
These days that is a lot less likely to happen. A person can check the reviews on any hotel, restaurant or attraction anywhere in the world. While this is an amazing tool, it is also important that we keep it in perspective. After all, an online review is simply a matter of opinion. The secret, when reading these reviews is to determine which opinions are valid and reflect your own expectations.
I like to read at least 10 reviews of any hotel that I am planning to visit. I know full well that there will be at least one review among those 10 that is quite negative. After all, of every 10 people I meet, there is always at least one who can find fault with just about anything. Remember when you see the TV ads for toothpaste; it's always 9 out of 10 dentists that recommend a certain product! (more…)

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Nick Johnson scored 20 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 14 and top-ranked Arizona rolled over Northern Arizona 77-44 on Monday night to complete its second straight undefeated non-conference season. Arizona (13-0) played its second straight game without injured center Kaleb Tarczewski, but didn't really need him, grabbing control with a 27-4 first-half run. The Wildcats dominated the small-program Lumberjacks defensively, holding them to 36 percent shooting while scoring 18 points off 23 turnovers. Arizona has won 27 straight non-conference games. Brandon Ashley had 11 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats, who don't play again until their Pac-12 opener against Washington State on Jan. 2. Aaseem Dixon had nine points for Northern Arizona (3-8). Northern Arizona is plenty familiar with trip south, playing in Tucson every season but one since 2002. It hasn't gone too well for the Lumberjacks. Other than a five-point game in 2010, Arizona has beaten Northern Arizona in routs, including a 93-50 runaway last season. The Lumberjacks faced an even bigger hill this time around. Northern Arizona had a huge setback just before the season started, when sophomore guard Dwayne Russell, the team's top returning scorer, decided to transfer. The Lumberjacks managed to play close games against Southern California and Fresno State, but those teams are nothing like what they were up against at the McKale Center. Arizona had rolled through its non-conference schedule to this point, knocking off teams like Duke and Michigan to move atop The Associated Press poll two weeks ago. The Wildcats are long, athletic, versatile and one of the best defensive teams in the country. Northern Arizona held its own early while Arizona struggled on offense, playing to an 11-all tie with the Wildcats in the opening 8 minutes. Arizona turned into a
Top-ranked Arizona will look to complete its non-conference schedule unscathed for the second-straight season when it hosts Northern Arizona at McKale Center on Monday; a win on Monday would give UA the third-best start in program history.
Fresh off of a stunning comeback at Michigan, top-ranked Arizona will look to run its record to 12-0 on Thursday when it hosts Southern at McKale Center.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Nick Johnson made six free throws over the final 25 seconds, and No. 1 Arizona held on for a 72-70 victory over Michigan on Saturday after rallying from an 11-point deficit in the second half.
The Pac-12's winningest road team over the last four-plus seasons, No. 1 Arizona will play its second true road game of the year on Saturday when it visits Michigan.

I heard about these mysterious Milka "Scoop Easter Eggs" in places all over the internet. Usually I'd hear them mentioned, and praised, in areas where Cadbury Cream Eggs were being discussed. The idea of a cream filled chocolate eggs was extremely tempting, so I started to extensively search to find these nameless scoop eggs that fondly existed in people's childhood Easter memories. My hard work eventually paid off as I located these Ei Eggs made by Milka (I know Ei is "egg" in Dutch) and I knew immediately that I had found what all the fuss was about. I put an order in and waited patiently for my treat to arrive on my doorstep.
First of all, I was impressed by the packaging. They really went all out. The eggs come in a pack of four, in a beautiful bright purple egg carton. How cool! You flip the top open to find the eggs and a set of two plastic spoons to eat them with. Are they suggesting that at share? I hope not!
This one's interactivity I found really interesting. It looks like a large Cadbury Cream Egg (CCE from now on) that you "crack" open and eat the white looking insides with a spoon. So cute! Once unwrapped from the foil, the egg's surface is smooth, except for 1/4 way up the top where there's a zig zag crack pattern showing were you are supposed to open the egg. The packages' picture directions who you whacking it open with the dinky plastic spoon that is included, but I decided lightly squeezing the egg to get it to cleave was a better method.
Eating the broken off top shell gave me a chance to taste the chocolate: it's sweet, has a really nice milkiness to it that has a slight tang to it. I'd say Cadbury chocolate is milkier and I do get notes of the chocolate and some caramel in there too. I was impressed with the chocolate's taste, since I really was expecting it just to be creamy and sweet tasting like most mass produced milk chocolates are.
Now, for those white cream insides. Taking my first scoop, I realized the insides were more light and fluffy as opposed to the CCE's dense and gooey center. This is more whipped and airy. The flavor is that of white chocolate: it's creamy, a little chocolatey, very sweet and I even get notes of malt and vanilla. Overall, a stellar white chocolate flavor. It has that very slick mouth feel from all the cocoa butter and vegetable oils. This was cute to eat too as it was oddly satisfying to eat with the little spoon. That also slowed down my eating process so it took me a bit to finish and I could go slowly and really enjoy it.
I love these, since the interactivity of eating it is not only fun, but unique was well. Not to mention they're really delicious! The only thing I would warn against is you may find this overly sweet if you are sensitive to that sort of thing and if CCE's are not too your liking for the same reason. If you see them, I highly recommend you picking some up.

openprinting.org: CUPS Filtering Architecture
Design of CUPS Filtering System [including the context for Mac OS X ("Jaguar")]
| The CUPS filtering system is a very flexible and powerful framework. Due to its modular design, all kinds of "Third Party" or custom filters might be plugged in. It is very easy for printer manufacturers to make "their own" drivers run for CUPS. The easiest way probably is to provide a special "rastertovendor" filter, taking the well-documented pre-RIP-ed CUPS-Raster format (a MIME type registered with IANA, the Internet Assigning Numbers Authority) as input and spitting out the special raster data the vendor device needs...
One of the most important and universal extensions of the CUPS fitering system is provided by "foomatic-rip" (developed by Till Kamppeter, Mandriva, with idea input by Johannes Meixner, SuSE, and based on "cupsomatic" of Foomatic 2.0.x, originally developed by Grant Taylor and vastly improved by Till Kamppeter)
(1) This chart is correct for CUPS versions prior to 1.1.15. From 1.1.15 and in all future releases, the former "pstoraster" RIP function, provided and shipped as a CUPS filter, is "outsourced" now to a system's Ghostscript installation. This Ghostscript, if already there, might not be fit to handle the CUPS requirements. It needs to contain a compiled-in "device" with the name "cups". Check for all supported Ghostscript devices by calling "gs -h", if you have Ghostscript already installed.
(2) This chart will soon be published in an updated version on the website of openprinting.org.
(3) This chart is intended for providing an insight into the basic setup and might not be correct in some details.
(4) This chart was first designed to reflect a fully-featured Linux printing setup, and only later added "how Apple fits into the picture".
(5) This chart doesn't show therefor filters and the CUPS system as shipped by Apple in "Jaguar"; on Apple you won't have the "pstoraster" filter nor Ghostscript bundled to CUPS; nor do you have all of the "CUPS raster driver" packages available. To install Gimp-Print (supporting around 130 current models directly, many of them in photographic output quality, and around 300 via "compatibility modes" of those additional models) is nearly trivial with installer packages like the current gimp-print-4.2.1.dmg one on http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/
(6) You can always install and compile the missing parts you might need from sources; some packages might show up soon as pre-compiled Mac OS X installers. If you are interested in additional "Third Party Filters" listed here, other than Gimp-Print: not all of these add-ons are available on OS X yet and it is not yet clear if they ever will -- best to write to the developers themselves and ask them; I don' know it!
(7) This chart was first modified to include Mac OS X support back in March, when I wrote my Unofficial CUPS-on-Apple-Mac-OS-X FAQ , but it somehow never made it into that document for some reason. Now here it is, with no dust removed.... Have fun!
Tell me if you found this chart useful....
Overview: the likely Design of the CUPS filtering system inside Mac OS X (versions from 10.2):

Post subject: Lisa Marie Rice's Heart of Danger, Ghost Ops
Lisa Marie Rice's new book, Heart of Danger: A Ghost Ops Novel is out. I am about halfway into it and am surprised that it takes place in the future (maybe 15 or 20 years), and the h has telepathic powers. It involves world politics and danger and so far the story is feeling a little too intense for me. Its expensive, $8.89 on my Kindle. Anyone else start this one yet?

I think the price is probably a deal breaker for me. There are too many older books now going digital I've never read that are reasonably priced I can now read.
I did not read much romance for about 10 years and there is much to chose from!
I have enjoyed several of her books, though.

Ugh. Say it ain't so LMR! Well, I won't be reading it and frankly, I didn't read her last two books. She's gotten too repetitive for me, but maybe that explains this change in setting. Too bad it's a change that I don't particularly care for. Oh well . . .
Later that night, still 1789!

Another one of my favorite authors is going paranormal -- Jo Davis.
Dang, publishing companies that's 2 authors who have lost my sale, 3 if you count Lisa Kleypas.

This book was an uncomfortable read for me for two reasons. First, there was some torture going on with comrads of the H that I found very disturbing and secondly, the H and h were busy "getting to know one another" when I thought they should be rescuing the fallen comrads so the romance didn't work for me.

This is the first LMR book that really disappointed me.
I usually enjoy futuristic books but here it was handled in a weird way. All the futuristic elements felt tacked on. When a "futuristic object" is introduced, it feels like info dump. There was nothing organic about the worldbuilding. This book could easily have been written as a contemporary, IMO. Even the paranormal elements could have been written out.
But the worldbuilding isn't my only problem with this book. The pacing also felt off. The hero distrusts the heroine until midway through the book (with reasons) and then they're suddenly getting it on a few pages later. I might have overlooked this if the main couple had the usual "LMR chemistry" but here the romance felt pretty bland to me. There was no spark.
And while all the distrusting and sexy times are going on, the reader is made aware that there's a guy important to the hero about to be executed. It's hard to root for a couple and a community of refugees when we are reminded of the villain's plot every chapter or so. The hero and his mates have all the info they need but don't act on it. Instead we get treated to a birth, sex scenes, breakfasts/lunches/dinners etc...
To be fair, the book happens over a very short period of time (we're almost talking hours here). But it's one of its stumbling blocks, IMO. LMR pulled it off several times before but she wasn't so successful here.
I was three quarters through the book when I found myself wondering why I was still reading since I wasn't interested in the fate of the main couple. So I put the book away and found myself something better to read. So many books, so little time.

I won't be reading this one, but Dabney's review is hilarious. "nodded enthusiastically," indeed. LOL

The review made me grin. I'm waiting for this Rice book to show up at the ubs. I'm not a fan of instant sex in romances. Like the build up of sexual tension better makes the story feel more like a romance than erotica with the story being an afterthought.

Coming off an impressive win last weekend against Jamestown College the Yellow Jackets are looking to build on their momentum. "We put ourselves back in the hunt for a conference title. We have to finish strong. Going into this weekend we know Mayville State is an extremely athletic team that has been a play or two from turning their record around. They are a much better team than their record indicates" said Coach Scott.
Offensively the Comets will run a spread offense with an active quarterback. Their offense is built around a huge offensive line that averages over 300 pounds. They are a well balanced team with the run and pass.
Defensively Mayville is led by three active linebackers. They also returned their defensive backs this year that has given them experience in coverage situations. The Comets defense will show many different looks to make them very unpredictable.
As for the Yellow Jackets, "offensively we have to take care of the football and handle their pressure defense. We need to make fundamental decisions and be aggressive getting off the ball. Defensively we have to find ways to penetrate around their big offensive lineman. Stopping the run and having good coverage will also be a major key to Saturday's game" added Coach Scott. The Yellow Jackets will look to control the line of scrimmage from the kickoff.
Saturday's game will start at 1:00pm at Lyle Hare Stadium. This is the final home game of the season and the seniors will be recognized before the game.
Injury Report:
Probable: Andy Seamann
Out: Brandin Santi and James Lemke
