McFarland had just dominated its invitational Saturday, so cross country coach Amador Ayon told his runners to take Sunday off.
Our readers recommend:
Top runner Alfonso Cisneros stayed quiet, but one of the other runners looked at Ayon like he was crazy.
"You know Alfonso's not taking the day off," the young Cougar said.
"Well, I'm telling him to take the day off," Ayon responded. "If that means he runs three miles instead of 10, well, that's his choice."
Such is life at McFarland, where chasing the school's 10th state cross country title is serious business -- and within reach, if early meets are any indication.
The Cougars dominated the five-kilometer Jim White Invitational, scoring 23 points to Madera South's 53 and Ridgeview's 82. McFarland runners finished 2-3-4 (Cisneros in 15:55, Eddie Garcia in 16:03 and sophomore Marco Perez in 16:04) and also placed juniors Eduardo Bautista sixth in 16:15 and Marco Camargo eighth in 16:17.
"We like to have a course that's a little more demanding, and for whatever reason, we didn't," Ayon said. "There were a lot of turns, and some areas were wet, but I was happy with the way the kids ran."
Foothill's Chris Schwartz, the defending Division I state champion, won the race in 15:42, erasing an early lead built by Madera South's Isaiah Lozano, who faded to ninth.
The rest of the top 10 was about McFarland serving notice that last year's third-place Div. IV state finish isn't good enough.
The team hasn't cut back on workouts at all yet -- with some runners, including the dogged Cisneros, making a long run every morning and then another in the afternoon -- and will take part in the adidas Cross Country Classic in Portland, Ore., in October.
All of that will be a prelude to the section meet Nov. 20 and state meet Nov. 29, both at Woodward Park in Fresno.
Ridgeview dominated its second straight girls race, placing five runners in the top 12 to rout Madera South 41-73. Foothill was third with 79.
Madera South's Alisha Brown won the race in 19:41, with Burroughs' runners Jennifer Speer (19:45) and Jenny Durtschi (20:07) in second and third. Ridgeview was led by Jessica Huizar in fifth with a 20:17.

Well, seeing as I'm not very stable on here, and I vanish randomly, so of the few people that know me and stuff deserve an update is they still remember me. I'll be discussing two things: 1, what I've been up to. 2, Why I haven't been on. Let's start off.
For starters, I haven't really been up to that much. Boring answer right? You need better. For one thing, I've moved recently. My mom's getting married. Hanging out with my friends. Boring stuff. For game I've been playing AQW and poker on facebook because I can't play anything else, which I'll explain shortly. I've been hoping to get goldeneye for the Wii, still working on that. I'll post whether or not I get it. And now, for reasons I haven't been on. Well, I've never been really regular on Flickr anyway, I've just never been that interested. And I haven't had any games to play. The reason of that is long, so bear with me. For starters, I have a pretty nice laptop, runs games pretty good, I was playing TF2, Star Wars battlefront 2, all sorts of games constantly. Then I downloaded something with a virus, and bye-bye hardrive. I was using my moms computer for a bit, but then it broke. SO now her hard-drive is in my computer, but it's the wrong type. So, the reason I can't play games is that it's not reading the video-cards, graphics drivers, etc. All I can play is browser based games and stuff like that. So now I have to buy a 50 dollar hard-drive, AND a 200 or so windows 7 operating system disc. So that's not happening soon seeing as I can't even buy goldeneye seeing as my budget is tight.
So TL;DR, things aren't going so great, I'm probably never gonna get fully back into flickr, I can't play stuff on steam with anyone, and I'm bored as hell most of the time. SO if you suffered through that, there's a update for all you guys that care. If you ever wanna get my steam name for when I can actually play, and just wanna talk, leave a comment.
Cya guys.

Valencia March 2009 L'Ofrenda floral. This is what is known as the "Ofrenda de Flores a la Virgen de los Desamparados", a floral offering to the Kingdom of Valencia's patron saint, Our Lady of the Forsaken. All the Fallas Committees take part in this event, decked out in their finest, to present their bouquets of flowers to the enormous image of the Virgin which stands in the centre of the plaza named after her, overlooked by her Basilica.
This occurs all day on their days of March 17th and March 18th. The virgin's body is then constructed with these flowers. The Falles (in Valencian) are a Valencian traditional celebration in praise of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Falles refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration.
Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a falla which is eventually burnt. A casal faller is also known as a comissió fallera.
The name of the festival is thus the plural of falla. The word's derivation is as follows:
falla ← Vulgar Latin *facla ← Latin facula (diminutive) ← Latin fax, "torch". There are a few different theories regarding the origin of the Falles festival. One theory suggests that the Falles started in the Middle Ages, when artisans put out their broken artifacts and pieces of wood that they sorted during the winter then burnt them to celebrate the spring equinox. Valencian carpenters used planks of wood to hang their candles on. These planks were known as parots. During the winter, these were needed to provide light for the carpenters to work by. With the coming of the Spring, they were no longer necessary, so they were burned. With time, and the intervention of the Church, the date of the burning of these parots was made to coincide with the celebration of the festival of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of the carpenters.
This tradition continued to change. The parot was given clothing so that it looked like a person. Features identifiable with some well-known person from the neighborhood were added as well. To collect these materials, children went from house to house asking for Una estoreta velleta (An old rug) to add to the parot. This became a popular song that the children sang to gather all sorts of old flammable furniture and utensils to burn in the bonfire with the parot. These parots were the first ninots. With time, people of the neighborhoods organized the process of the creation of the Falles and monuments including various figures were born.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Falles were tall boxes with three or four wax dolls dressed in cloth clothing. This changed when the creators began to use cardboard. The creation of the Falle continues to evolve in modern day, when largest monuments are made of polyurethane and soft cork easily molded with hot saws. These techniques have allowed Falles to be created in excess of 30 meters.

Well here's an update on my crazy life. I gave up on my 52 weeks project. I just didn't have time, and I was never too motivated to do it in the first place.
I've moved back to St. Louis, into an awesome apartment in one of the coolest areas in town.
So I apoligize and promise to update when I actually have time to work on my photography!

A small-town book store, now open on Sundays (rare around here), serving a variety of coffees and some pastries, nice places to sit and enjoy it, and a newly added selection of books in Spanish and bilingual in Spanish/English - all of which reflects the people in the community in which it is located. Nice job!

Photos in this album represent the community standing, empty lots being used for Olympics crew parking and community leisure alike, graffiti by angry residents, and the stark contrast between surrounding condos and luxury development and the peaceful low rise community.
