SPOKANE, Wash. – Whitworth heads into the halfway point of the Northwest Conference men's basketball schedule alone in first place in the league standings thanks to an 81-65 win over visiting Lewis & Clark on Saturday night in the Whitworth Fieldhouse.
The Pirates are 13-4 overall and 7-1 in the NWC, one game ahead of Whitman in the standings. L&C had a chance to force a three-way tie for first place with a win tonight, but the Pioneers (12-5, 5-3) drop to a tie for third place with George Fox and Puget Sound.
Whitworth never trailed, jumping to a 10-3 lead in the early going. The Bucs stretched the margin to 16-7 on Dustin McConnell's layup, but the Pioneers fought back to within 24-22 following a three-pointer by Kurt Parker. Whitworth pulled away over the final five minutes of the first half by making eight of their last ten shots from the floor, many from close range after breaking pressure. The Pirates took a 43-28 lead into the locker rooms.
"LC does a good job pressuring the basketball so we wanted to get past that pressure and get to the rim," said Whitworth head coach Matt Logie. "We did that really well at times tonight."
When George Valle scored inside to give the Pirates a 54-38 lead just over five minutes into the second half, it appeared Whitworth had the game in control. But the Pioneers responded with a 9-0 run, including six points from Parker, to cut the lead to 54-47. Valle finally broke the Bucs' scoring drought with a basket with 9:52 to play. Leading 61-52 with 7:25 to go, Whitworth put the game away with an 11-2 run, capped by McCargar's three-pointer that increased the lead to 72-54. The Pirates took their largest lead at 79-57 with just over two minutes to play.
Five Pirates reached double figures, led by McConnell's 16 points and four assists. McCargar finished with 14, while Valle and Christian Jurlinaadded 12 each. Taylor Farnsworth capped his night with a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Bucs shot 58% (32-55) as a team.
"Guys are really starting to find their roles and we are sharing the ball really well," Logie said.
"When we have so many guys able to score we become very difficult to defend."
Parker came off of the bench for 15 points to lead L&C. Connor Freeberg added 14 points and Serg Ovchinnikov finished with ten. The Pioneers shot 33.3% (20-60) as a team.
Whitworth will open the second half of Northwest Conference play next weekend by hosting Willamette (Friday) and Pacific (Saturday). The Pirates are chasing NWC history by trying to become the first team ever to win five consecutive league titles in men's basketball.

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
Police are revealing more details in a Phenix City theft case that led to firing of 4 city park workers.
Phenix City Police Chief Ray Smith says the workers are accused of using city equipment to take care of their personal yards and property.
Smith tells the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer (http://bit.ly/SCTVpj) that public corruption charges may be presented to a grand jury.
City officials have said the investigation began Nov. 26, after City Manager Wallace Hunter received a complaint. Authorities declined to identify the fired employees.
Phenix City is about 85 miles east of Montgomery, just across the Chattahoochee River from Columbus, Ga.

Chiffon A-line with Beaded Lace on Empire Style 9V9743 341 345
Better then the picture! I absolutely love this dress! Neither pictures (missy or women) do it justice. And I would like to say for all the curvy girls it surprisingly really shows off your waist. I felt like it made me look like I had more of a waist then I even did... definate plus! The beading adds just enough sparkle to add something special. It is soft an elegant and romantic. November 30, 2011
LOVE THIS DRESS I was not looking forward to gown shopping because I am really not a dress person. I was even further discouraged because I am a very busty woman and it is always ever so hard to find a dress that holds the girls in and looks appropriate. I figured a strapless gown was out of the question. However, when I tried this dress on it fit so wonderfully. It held the girls in place and when I came out of the dressing room my friends and family gushed over how I looked in this dress. After trying this dress on I tried on many others but none where the same. That was my dress and I had to have it, plus the price was right. I came back and bought my dress the very next day. I can't wait till my wedding to wear it down the isle. November 30, 2011
OMG I love the design of my dress. It makes me feel beautiful. Its abosolutely stunning. I'm glad I chose this one, because its simple, classy, understated and purely who I am. November 30, 2011
Wonderful dress I went into David's bridal on Long Island looking for a short dress because this is my second marriage and we are having outside. I was getting very upset at how the short dresses fit me... I'm not a skinny person but I'm not obese either... However I looked huge in the short dresses... I put my dress in the hands of the wonderful woman who was helping me... She brought this out and we both we very happy... Being large in the upper body my chest was ruining the way the other dresses sat on me... This dress actually complimented my figure... My wedding isn't till September 2012 and I purchased it on the spot last night... Viewing all the photos on here now I know I made the right choice... This dress will work with my backyard casual wedding!!!!! November 17, 2011

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one.
--C.S. Lewis
I never thought I'd find myself giddy over riding public transportation. But spending this weekend in Chicago for Blogher 2009 highlighted for me how much I miss the big city. I drank in the rock and roll of the elevated train and the lurch and sway of the city bus. I stuffed myself on good wine, hummus and taboulleh at an awesome little Lebanese restaurant in Albany Park. I drove alongside my beloved Lake Michigan, which was all blue and sparkly just for me (It can be gray and angry when it wants to be.). I absorbed the varied accents and languages of my friend's neighborhood--Spanish over here, a trace of Chinese there, the Windy City squawk of a Mexican/Lebanese waitress. I loved it all. And I miss it. But this weekend helped me identify something that I miss much more than the rhythm of a major metropolitan area. I miss the company of women.
I have shared before that I have been unable to establish close female relationships here in my family's new Central Indiana home. Maybe it just gets harder to make connections as you get older. Maybe it's because I am true blue in a still-red (2008 presidential election results not withstanding) state. Maybe it's because I am, for the most part, a spot of brown in a pretty culturally and racially monolithic area...that is not brown. Maybe it's because I am a proud, late-marrying, independent womanist in a part of the country where women seem to marry young, have kids quickly, and settle into a very traditional, family-focused life (Nothing wrong with this choice. It's just not mine.). Maybe I spend too much time in my own head, in books and online. Maybe I just need to work on my personality (Though, I doubt that's the problem...hee!).
Whatever the reason, I have found myself without a close-by circle of girlfriends--women I admire; women I learn from; women I am inspired by; women I am comforted by; women who amaze me; women who get me fired up; women who make me laugh till it hurts; women who know where to get a great bargain on funky jewelry; women who appreciate "two-buck chuck" with a good meal; women who can slam a shot and tell a dirty joke; women who are down for the cause; women who know what Congress is doing today and what happened on "True Blood" last night; women who don't mind getting their geek on talking blog analytics and techie gadgets; women who consume books like some people consume oxygen; women who can talk about race and gender and priviledge and politics...and sex and hair and ice cream. I have a good life, but not being around women like this on a regular basis surely makes it less rich.
But this weekend...I felt like I was with my tribe. Of course, I learned a lot over two days at the conference. Katie Orenstein's leadership sessions on "Owning Your Expertise" and "Writing Your Op-Ed" were worth the price of admission on their own. (Visit The Op-Ed Project and if this program comes to your town, I highly recommend you participate. After getting a taste of what Orenstein does, I am eager to try the full program.) I could have listened all day to the righteous grrrls in the "Women of Color and Marketing" session, hosted by Kelly of Mocha Momma, HeatherB from No Pasa Nada, Karen Walrond of Chookooloonks, and Stefania of CityMama. Blogher also gave me the rush of being a sort-of celebrity (definitely D-list in my case). It's cool to run into folks who recognize my name and my blog and tell me that they love my work. (Back at the real gig on Monday morning, adulation is at a minimum.) I got to meet some much-admired bloggers and cyberfriends in person, like Liz of Los Angelista's Guide to the Pursuit of Happiness and Cheryl "Jill Tubman" of Jack and Jill Politics. (right and center in the photo above). And of course, getting a chance to be in proximity to senior White House advisor, Valerie Jarrett? Priceless. But for all the great stuff I learned and experienced at Blogher, the feeling of belonging to a big group of awesome women was, I think, the best thing of all.
It is insufficient to rely on cyber connections and phone calls to far-flung friends for a feminine fix. This weekend reminded me that I MUST make time for real, live interactions with incredible women. Over the weekend, I stayed with one such woman who has been my good friend since we took a belly dancing class together seven years ago. (Yeah, I said belly dancing. What?) Her hospitality and sisterhood, including late-night snarking on "Bridezilla" re-runs, was restorative. We don't get to do that nearly enough. I know now, sitting at my computer feeling more creative and refreshed and confident than I have in a while, that for me the company of women is not just something I enjoy, it is something I need.

ATHENS, W.Va. (AP) — It's been nearly six decades since Billy Owens broke the color barrier at Concord University.
Last week, Owens returned to the Athens campus to serve as grand marshal of the homecoming parade and to participate in an open forum with students and staff. He also was recognized during Saturday's football homecoming game.
Owens enrolled at the school, then called Concord College, in 1954 after serving in the Air Force.
He tells the Bluefield Daily Telegraph (http://bit.ly/1acmEZb ) that his classmates were polite and he never heard any negative words.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The word "Magari" has several meanings: "if only," "would that it were true," "perhaps." Ca'Marcanda's unique combination of terre brune (dark soils: loam and clay) and terre blanche (white soils: stones and pebbles) is reflected in Magari.
Deep garnet with blue tinges. Lush Merlot fruit and spicy Cabernet aromas. Magari showcases the essence of the upper Maremma. It's a full, rich, well-rounded wine with an elegant, silky finish.
"Fresh and bursting with black cherry and plum fruit, this red has density and a well-integrated structure. Builds to a long finish of fruit, spice and mineral. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc."

Every jocks has an experience in their career they wish would have never happened.
Recently the memories of embarrassing moments in my radio career have surfaced and I have decided to write a little something about it. I have asked several on air personalities to share their most embarrassing moment and this blog is the result of what they have told me.
I will start off with myself.
Dominique (former 102.7 KTFM currently Mix 96.1 KXXM)
The year was 2003 and it was fiesta time. We were driving around in the KTFM van looking for a place to park so we could broadcast from La Vita. I then saw the former Mayor of San Antonio walking the streets about to enter the grounds of La Vita. I told the driver to stop and let me out. I grabbed the portable broadcasting gear and literally ran towards him so I could get in a quick interview about the festivities. I told him who I was. I also told him I was with KTFM and wanted a quick statement about fiesta. He politely said he would do the interview. I called the studio and asked them to record it and fired up the equipment. I was ready to go. Here is where it went bad. VERY bad.
"102.7 KTFM it's Dominique here broadcasting live downtown San Antonio. We are outside La Vita with the former major of San Antonio. I am talking about former mayor Howard Peak as he gets ready for the huge party going down this evening."
There was one problem.
Apparently I had gotten my former mayors mixed up.
He says
"Well thank you Dominique, but I am not Howard Peak. I am Nelson Wolff"
I wanted to die right there and then. I was so embarrassed. He was polite though and still answered a few questions on the air for me. I did not hear it air and I hope the guy in the studio edited my mistake out when he ran it on the radio. In my defense I was in my early 20′s and didn't care much for politics at that age. Hence is why I mixed up the former mayors.
Billy The Kidd (Current Mix 96.1 Night Jock)
Like most radio personalities, Billy started out like any normal DJ does. He started out as an intern. Needless to say when you are an intern you have to perform embarrassing and or grueling task. Billy's embarrassing moment was having to wash and scrub an old ladies feet. All while the details of the event were being described on the radio.
Billy also went on to say that it was not just a quick foot rub. He said he was forced to also clean and scrub them. He also said it had to be a good while and that the woman had bunions.
Look at the bright side Billy, least you used your hands and they didnt make you use your hair as an additional tool. (maybe to clean under the toenails) EEEWWWW GROSS!
Bigg Boyee (Former 102.7 KTFM Current KXTN Night Jock)
I have to admit here is a guy who is a good sport. Even if it means being completely embarrassed to get a laugh out of someone. Here is Bigg Boyee's email he sent me.
Man there are sooooo many things I have done on a morning show host (check my myspace pics, but it wasn't THAT embarrassing…I look good as a chick). Strange is how I could dress as a woman or be burried under barbacoa tacos, big red ,horse manuer and Blue Bell Ice Cream (Say Town Sunday w/Joey Dee). OR Joey Dee's Human Car wash where I had to wash 107 cars with my body wearing nothing but a towel around my "Biggness". Or as a Stunt guy for "The Breakfast Club"(KPRR) wearing Nothing but station stickers to walk the "Miner Miracle Mile". I can go on for days but I am saving the "REAL" good stuff for my autobiography. None of those things embarrass me but… I get embarrassed all the time when I have a difficult time pronouncing artists and titles of some tracks on my show and listeners call me out. I am embarrassed but I get a laugh. LMAO!
The best part about all this…. THERE'S PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE!
Bree (Currently KJ97)
When I asked Bree about any embarrassing moments she has had over the course of her career I did not expect her to tell me about cross-dressing (like Bigg Boyee) or anything as serious as that. And I was right. Bree says she is and has always been a huge fan of country music superstar Alan Jackson.
You can chalk up Bree's most embarrassing moment on air thanks to a technical difficulty. She was excited that she was going to be interviewing Mr. Jackson. However almost immediately once the two were connected something happened to the phone lines and the two couldn't hear one another.
The studio phone rang and Bree expected it to be the engineer calling about how the problem could be resolved. When Bree answered the phone it was Alan Jackson himself. He then said "Bree, did you hang up on me?"
DJ Rene G (Former 106.7 Jamz)
DJ Rene G did something almost every jock has done at least one time in their career.
Rene was in the studio one day when he said he was arguing with someone. Little did he realize that the microphone was still on and everyone who was listening heard the entire argument.
OUCH! That's rough!
Peter Burns (Ticket 760am Morning Host Also With Fox Sports)
This one is hilarious. I will let Peter explain it to you by pasting the email he sent me about his most embarrassing moment.
It was the 2005 Super Bowl.
I was broadcasting a special Super Bowl Broadcast from Las Vegas. The show normally aired on Ticket 760, but we decided to put the show on WOAI as well. So it was quite a big show.
My co-host, Nate Lundy was the program director of WOAI/Ticket 760 at
the time.
We had a really good show, and we started to talk about how Pittsburgh
had beat San Diego in the Playoffs.
The movie Anchorman had just come out, and Nate had asked me to tell me
something that not a lot of people knew about San Diego. I proceeded to
tell him, that San Diego was founded by Germans, and it's name means
"Whale Vagina"
He was stunned. Like a knockout blow. He then went straight to
commercial break, and ripped me for a good 5 minutes on how I couldn't
say the word "Vagina" on-air.
Good stuff.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooow ha ha ha ha
JD3 (Former KXTN Currently With 94.1 KTFM)
At one of his former stations JD3 was working mornings. A man called him one day and explained how his wife was always accusing him of cheating with a fellow co-worker of his.
He wanted JD3 to call his wife pretending to be from his job. He also wanted him to try and explain that the man lost his job because he was caught being intimate with the co-worker in question.
Of course JD3 did it and says when he explained to the woman her husband was fired because he was caught with his co-worker, she began to cry. All of a sudden a prank that was supposed to be funny turned into something JD3 felt bad about. He then quickly tried to say it was a joke, that her husband put her up to it etc. She hung up on him in anger.
JD3 was now looking like a jerk on the radio so he attempted to call her back and she did not answer. He said he was embarrassed and also that he felt bad about it.
Nikki (Former 102.7 KTFM Currently On KXTN Morning Show)
I saved one of the best for last. When Nikki told me this story it reminded me of the movie "Waiting". Where Ryan Reynolds says "If you wanna work here you have to ask yourself one question. How do you feel about full frontal male nudity?"
Yeeeeeah, gross. Here is what Nikki had to say about her most embarrassing moment.
Back when I was a.m. producer for Joey Deee. I had "Roc The Mic" tickets to give away. So they sent me in the traveling broadcast kia vehicle over to W.W. White rd to give em away. Several guys showed up and had to strip down to their boxers on the side of the road for tickets and we had the people judge the best one. One of the guys had boxers that were ripped a bit in the front and he was showing a little more than what I wanted to see.
Here was the scene…a girl on the sidewalk on that part of town with guys in underwear. It was pretty embarrassing…and I was embarrassed for the guy with his stuff hanging out too.
I will go out by saying this. We are all human. Humans make mistakes. Weather it is unintentionally seeing someones junk, cross-dressing, making a woman cry, cleaning someones feet, saying a no-no word on the air, or calling a mayor by the wrong name, it all makes for great radio.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) - The woman convicted of aiding and harboring a felon in connection with a La Crosse stabbing last June is sentenced to prison.
On June 2, 2013 at the Cass St. Kwik Trip, Demario Lee, 24, was fatally stabbed just outside the store's bathroom.
Police arrested Mitrel Anderson ,25, and his girlfriend Brittany Jones, 23, in connection with that stabbing after they fled to Madison.
Prosecuting Attorney Crystal Jensen says the bottom line is that Anderson killed Lee and Jones knowing that helped him flee the jurisdiction.
Prosecutors argue that Jones showed no remorse saying even when she is apologizing, her focus is on herself and Mr. Anderson. The defense argued she does have remorse.
Jones' attorney asked for probation. He argued she already served 9 months in jail, anything more, in his words, would be sheer punishment.
But Demario Lee's family asked for the maximum. Lee's girlfriend says "now my daughter has to grow up without a father, she talks about him everyday, she misses him everyday."
Jones apologized for her actions and asked for forgiveness.
Judge Elliott Levine says Jones has to take responsibility for her actions and sentenced Jones to one year in prison and two years on extended supervision.
Mitrel Anderson is charged with first degree intentional homicide in the death of Demario Lee.
His trial is scheduled to start on June 9.

So Miami Dolphin lineman Richie Incognito was suspended from his team after the NFL was handed a laundry list of complaints about his bullying locker room antics. Including racial slurs, the extortion of $15,000 from a teammate, and ultimately death threats. This isn't even the first time that Incognito has been kicked off a football team; in 2004 he was told to leave the University of Nebraska team. Nebraska, the football program that has produced model citizens like Ndamukong Suh, Lawrence Phillips, and Dominic Raiola...who were never asked to leave the team. (Phillips was suspended for a small period of time after he abused his then-girlfriend, but was reinstated quickly.)
Anyway, here comes the best part, Richie Incognito doing a video for fans, talking about "civilized behavior"

LUSH 30 Day Challenge - Day 12
What issue of the LUSH Times has been your favourite so far? Do you keep all of your old issues?
The MOST CURRENT Canadian LUSH Times is my new favourite - not sure if it's the same as LUSH USA or not. Most colourful issue to date! The first 7 pages are Emotional Brilliance, including a 2-page spread of the words and definitions. Great photography throughout, in particular on the Bath Bomb pages (the banner for those pages is an underwater photo of bath bombs at the VERY MOMENT they hit the water - very cool!). There's a page for the boys with the header "REAL MEN USE LUSH" which I love because not enough guys feel confident enough using LUSH products, going into the stores, etc.
I keep all of my old editions in a sense… I cut them up and paste pictures and descriptions into my little LUSH "bible" that I'm working on - never hurts to refresh the mind with lovely things about the products and the ingredients. For some reason, in this issue, they switched from using the term Rhassoul Mud to "Moroccan Lava Clay" - same shit, but why confuse me like that?

MISSION — Two groups of students at Sharyland High School got an intense look at the consequences of drunk driving this week before their weeklong vacation.
Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Johnny Hernandez met with students from the school's in-school suspension program as well as students in elective classes like criminal justice and speech. With Spring Break approaching, Hernandez was invited to share the dangers of drinking and driving with the teenagers.
The presentation was not just about statistics. Hernandez showed footage of drunk drivers being tested on the roadside, videos of accidents and accident scenes and what was left of vehicles after first responders removed the victims.
While most students gasped at the site of blood on the pavement or learning that a steering wheel plowed into the chest of a driver, there were giggles when they watched how drunk drivers swayed or fell over when a roadside drug/alcohol test was being performed.
According to statistics Hernandez shared, Texas has over 27,000 alcohol-related accidents. Of those accidents, 955 resulted in death and 1,700 accidents resulted in injuries.
"You are the ones that are the leading cause of death in teens, especially as passengers. There are more than 5,000 teens being killed," he said referring to national numbers.
Hernandez also showed a video of an alcohol-related accident that occurred during the daytime.
"A drunk driver is a drunk driver," he said. "It doesn't have a time."
Hernandez said he made a point of showing the scenes versus discussing the accidents, using every tool he could while still respecting the individuals and families of people that died in the accidents.
He said pictures of the vehicles represent more than just the words on the screen.
"We need to take care of the driver," he told the students. "When you're intoxicated, you know what goes? Your mind goes. Your physical faculties go. They all go."
He also shared other stories with the students, asking them to read the descriptions aloud. One of those stories included an incident where a mother driving with her daughter struck a limousine. The driver of the limousine and the seven-year-old girl died in the accident. The drunk driver held her daughter's lifeless body and had to be separated from the body by authorities.
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol while intoxicated, or having an open container are Class B misdemeanors, but can become a third-degree felony if others are involved. If there is a fatality, the intoxicated driver could face intoxication manslaughter charges, a second-degree felony and up to 20 years in jail for each fatality. This does not include fines, probation terms or classes that the driver might have to attend.
Hernandez said Hidalgo County has caught up with most of the bigger cities like San Antonio, Austin and Dallas on the number of fatalities from driving accidents. Officials hope to decrease alcohol-related accidents with outreach presentations like this to educate drivers, specifically teen drivers.
"If we can save just one person by doing this, then it is worth it," Superintendent Scott Owings said of the awareness program.

- A disappointing dinnerNancyVIPDined on 9/27/2014We told the waitstaff we had to make a show and they dropped the ball on getting the food there in a timely manner yet initially they pretended to be concerned about the time. The food was fair but my husbands short ribs were fatty and tasteless. My butterfish was flavorful but ultimately the rushed experience left my dinner party with a bad taste.
- Good!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 9/24/2014I had my Birthday dinner at Roy's Pasadena. I had the Lobster Pot Pie, which was good. The Calamari was delicious for an appetizer. The cocktail (Hummingbird) I enjoyed. The service was slow, although the waiter was very personable and helpful. However, the dinner out was nice amongst my friends and family, but the evening was not that memorable. The presentations of the food for everyone was beautiful, except for my Lobster Pot Pie. Desert of the chocolate souffle was tasty, but not very special. At the end of the evening, the dining experience was pleasant, but not a night I will treasure as a food experience and the service was simply too slow for weekday night.Special Features:
- Great food, lacks front desk warmthKitkatDined on 9/19/2014I was distressed at the hostesses putting is in the "back room" where it felt we'd belong if we had a passel of unruly kids. We were moved to a corner in the main room, still not desirable. I have a feeling we were being put in the most undesirable areas due to the fact we booked on Open Table, though this is the first time that has happened. The girls at the front desk seemed like they were just going through the motions. We both really liked our dinners and our waiter was very nice. I'm most likely not going to go back any time soon since I can think of so many other restaurants in Pasadena where they are thrilled to have us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always great Food and ServiceFridayatROYsVIPDined on 9/19/2014Try Roy's for there new menu. Great Pork Belly. Also try the lobster pot pie, it is enough to serve two people.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Roy's in PasadenaEllenDeetteDined on 9/15/2014Excellent surroundings, superb service, and fabulous food. I have been to Roy's in Pasadena, Woodland Hills, Los Angeles (closed now)and Hawaii. The consistency and quality are top rated for me. How can you miss? I had the braised short ribs and my husband had the trio of three different fish. The wedge salad was amazing! The blue cheese dressing and toppings were different and so tasty. There was pickled red onion. Wow! Something to try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/11/2014This is our second visit in a month to Roy's Pasadena. The food is amazing and consistent. Both visits we tried various appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Every item had it's own amazing flavors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RecommendedGSRBDined on 9/11/2014Good food, good service, nice atmosphere (not too loud or crowded). Good balance and fairly reasonable prices. Not an out-of-the-park place, but good to hit up every once in a while.
- HawaiianboundVIPDined on 9/8/2014Already sent review to restaurant but our meals was under cooked(fish) & the other over cooked(shrimp). They were both seafood dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding Service!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/5/2014We're repeat customers of Roy's all over SoCal. The food is always good, but this time the service was particularly outstanding. The waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and engaging. Our water glasses were never empty and people (even the manager) came to check up on us periodically during dinner. I asked for a small bowl so I could let my husband try some of my food, and the waitress came out with 2 choices of size! Service is better here than some fancier places we've been to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KevinVIPDined on 9/5/2014This used to be our favorite restaurant in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, the preparation of food (fish) and the taste has deteriorated significantly in the last two visits our had this year.
- Excellent dining experienceMsPeppersVIPDined on 9/4/2014My husband and I went to Roy's to celebrate our anniversary. It seemed like almost everyone else at the restaurant was celebrating an occasion as well which was nice. Our waiter took our photo and put it in a frame for us to remember our special night. The food was fantastic. We shared the red curry chicken samosas which was my favorite (3 large, puffy ones), the Roy's Trio (macadamia nut crusted fish, misoyaki butterfish, and grilled salmon), lamb shank, and chocolate souffle which you need to preorder. The lamb shank was well-prepared, although it could have been more tender. The Roy's Trio, while it offers you 3 types of fish, comes in small portions. The souffle was heavenly. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice outside patioddupmulDined on 9/1/2014Even though the patio is facing Colorado Blvd, we were rarely made aware of its proximity. When darkness came, they lit the tiki torches, which lit the entire area in a nice light. The menu is seafood centric, but we both ordered the Prix Fixe menu and were not disappointed in the three courses. We are moderate eaters and found the portions refreshingly suitable. The $10 corkage fee went missing from our bill, which made our gift bottle of wine even better. Our server took a couple of fantastic photos of us - one with our camera, and then one with their camera. She gave us a hard copy print in a frame of the photo she took. It sounds like a gimmick, but these days it's nice to get a real photo once in a while. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gourmet Asian Fusion2dine4Dined on 8/31/2014Outstanding food that is perfectly prepared and presented artistically. The wait staff is highly attentive and cheery.Special Features:
- The place to be!SpencerDined on 8/29/2014Another AWESOME experience!! Energy was enthusiastically high which added to the "I wanna be here!" Perfect seafood preparation! Again, never a disappointment!! From the edamame to the pineapple upside cake and coconut ice cream - great dining !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently excellentRUgonnaFinishThatDined on 8/27/2014With just enough new menu items to keep regulars from getting bored, Roy's continues to offer top-quality food and service. The bar menu is fun, but the real attractions are the fish dishes with a bit of Asian influence. Service is generally very friendly and attentive, and they accommodate children well. Butterfish (black cod), mahi mahi, scallops, and the pineapple upside down cake are all not to be missed. Or, opt for the giant pork chop or beef short ribs. If I'm to be honest, Roy's does "Hawaiian" food better than most Hawaiians probably eat, because it's not inexpensive and would cost even more in the islands. But you won't have any regrets if you bring someone here for a special occasion.Special Features:
- woooVIPDined on 8/24/2014Good, not great Sunday night. Service was more than fine, knowledgable staff, who was very attentive from the moment we sat down until we left. The food was disappointing. Other than the pre fixe, and the Miso Butterfish, the trio and the filet were just ok. Serving size of the fish trio was more than fine, but all three seemed like they were missing something. The filet was not the best cut. We tried the fried rice and green bean sides and both disappointed. The fried rice, no taste, and the green beans, very little lop cheong, but tons and tons of chili peppers, more than a dozen. The desserts saved the meal, the upside down pineapple did not disappoint. The menu was quite different, with more choices - maybe less is better.Special Features:
- Always goodmerpDined on 8/23/2014I like Roy's a lot. Now that the downtown location closed Pasadena is the closest to me. Food is good and consistent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unhappyVIPDined on 8/22/2014Always a great experience at Roy's! Braised Short-Ribs are always delicious! We enjoy the fact that each Roy's has it's unique flavor, but always some staple favorites (short-ribs, pineapple upside down cake, etc.)Special Features:
- Not special, but goodJaneDined on 8/22/2014Food should have been much more special for the prices. Definitely an expense account or business entertaining budget. For example, $13 shrimp salad, while tasty, maybe had 2 shrimp on it that had been cut into pieces. Disappointing, mainly because premium pricing didn't relate to premium dishes. Noisy inside,Special Features:
- AverageOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/22/2014Nice atmosphere, but I was served the wrong beer. The shrimps my wife ordered were very chewy and under cooked (still gray on the middle). We sent them back and they got it right but that kind of messed up our whole dinner experience as I was almost done with my food when my wife's oder came back. They offers little apologies...not sure if we will be back...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- WE LOVE ROYS PASADENAroysrocksDined on 7/27/2014We dine here often and are always remembers. It makes us feel so welcome and comfortable. Recent menu changes have been terrific and while the ole favorites are still available, we are enjoying exploring the new offerings, This restaurant is big enough without being too big. Staff is always friendly, helpful and courteous. I encourage you to give this place a trySpecial Features:
- Not living up to it's past gloryChazzhDined on 7/22/2014The original Roy's restaurants in the Hawaiian islands were absolute taste-treat delights. Unfortunately, the Pasadena version of this restaurant is a pale version of the original. The food was mediocre and lukewarm - nothing to write home about or return for. Pleasant outdoor patio and very good cocktails at Aloha Hour.Special Features:
- Roy's outside of HI not worth the $jennpasadenaVIPDined on 7/21/2014I was sent a coupon for $25 off $50, so against my better judgement based off of my most recent visits to this Roy's, we decided to go. The edamame was so overcooked the inside plasticky layer came out every time you tried to eat a bean and the beans were mushy and dry. They've changed the menu and upped the prices. I got the short ribs and my friend got the miso butterfish. Both we're ok (edible), but not worth their $25+ price tags. It's sad because the Roy's in Hawaii and in Pebble Beach are amazing but I don't even consider the Roy's outside of those places to be the same restaurant. The service was attentive, however, after I told the server about the overcooked edamame he did nothing to remedy it, didn't even get us a new batch. :-(Special Features:
- Good placeToadmanVIPDined on 7/19/2014Nice place, good ambiance. Service & attention is great. Don't know if it was just this one time, but the food was not up to par. My wife's steak was so sinewy that it was almost inedible. Lot's of flavor just too tough. They offered to replace it but by then her jaw was tired, so she declined. My complaint was the rest of the food. Just way too sweet. We used to be regulars at the Downtown branch b4 it closed & I don't remember it being this sweet. I know Hawaiian food tends to be on the sweet side but this was waay sweeter than I remember it.Special Features:
- Amazing ExperienceHumbleCriticDined on 7/14/2014Right down from the hospitality to the service to the food everything about this place was an excellent experience! The ambiance is nice and interior deco is trendy. Seats were very comfortable and table was an appropriate size. Hostess was friendly and even opened the doors. The waitress was welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent!! Had the Ahi Tuna Poke, Lobster Potstickers, Filet Mignon with lobster, and the pineapple upside down cake. Everything was absolutely delicious. I have eaten at many seafood restaurants and Roy's was spot on with each dish. Only complaint was the filet mignon. Cooked properly but I did not agree with the sauce they used for it. But as seafood goes, Roy's knows what its doing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thank youGlennVIPDined on 7/12/2014Our server Anthony was excellent. He knew that we were on our way to a show at the Pasadena Playhouse. He made sure that our orders were taken and delivered without bring rushed. The Steak and Lobster Special was delicious. Thank you for a memorable dining experience. Mahalo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- third, and final, vistOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/4/2014we've dined at this restaurant on three separate occasions. the first, a birthday celebration, our food and service were pleasant, but not exceptional. our second visit, a visit on a whim, our food and service were acceptable, at best. our third visit, this past 4th of July, was to be our final time dining at this restaurant. the service was confused (waitress and bus-boy communication was entirely disjointed and uncomfortable), and our food was quite disappointing (steak was undercooked, yet tough; lobster was well-overdone, dry and chewy; fish was delicate, but highly over-seasoned). we are well accustomed to frequent fine dining, yet we have been progressively and consistently underwhelmed and disappointed by all accounts at Roy's.
- DisappointingTasmanVIPDined on 7/4/2014Maui wowie salad was good but lobster pot pie was bland and swordfish was so tough you couldn't cut it with a knife.
- Not the Typical RoysClassicCatDined on 7/3/2014If you have eaten at Roy's in Scottsdale or Anaheim, you will be sadly disappointed in old town Pasadena. Our outdoor table service was comparable to your typical mediocre dinner chain. Lots of commotion, lots of service staff, but no training. Support staff handing around. Our food was auctioned, appetizer was poor, entre was very good, dessert was redone, and we were left looking at dirty plates for most of the night. The waiter was pleasant and accomodating. Overall a mixed bag in quality and presentation. For the money, I would recommend one of the local establishments that have patio dining.
- One of America's best. Period.FoodDudeVIPDined on 7/1/2014Twenty six years and counting. What a spectacular treat it still is to dine with the Yamaguchi crowd. Everything they do is better than one expects. Every visit--special occasion or not--becomes special because of an extraordinary wait staff and a kitchen that turns out nothing but wonderfully conceived and executed fare. Innovative is too limited a description for their menu. And, if you are a fan of cocktails, do not die before you have the Hawaiian martini. Trust me on this.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceSteveVIPDined on 6/30/2014Everything was great. We were initially disappointed that coconut shrimp was no longer on the menu, but our waiter checked with the kitchen and they made some for us anyway. Huge shrimp, perfectly cooked, toasty coconut crust, mmmm.Special Features:
- Awesome as alwaysLaurieVIPDined on 6/28/2014Roys is my stand by for excellent food and ambiance. It did not disappoint food was perfect service was exceptionalSpecial Features:
- Love this placeroysrocksDined on 6/28/2014We love this place. They always remember us, give great service, the food is awesome and they change it upto keep it fresh and interesting. WE LOVE ROYSSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 6/28/201445 min wait time betw appetizers and entrees. Asked waiter to see dessert menu ahead of time to figure out our options and instead of bringing it he told me he would bring it after entrees were served. Then entrees were served and he asked what we decided about desserts which is when I had to remind him that I needed to see the entire dessert menu to make a decision. We also had the worst seat at the restaurant. I will never ever return.
- Perfect Friday with the BoyfriendOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/27/2014My boyfriend and I are trying to not eat as much since we are going to Vegas for 4th of July weekend, but we still wanted to go out for dinner after work and since Roy's has outdoor dinning we decided to give it a try. It was our first time at Roy's and we LOVED it! The cocktail I tried was the Jalapeno Margarita - FANTASTIC!The Margarita went perfect with the amazing Lobster Potstickers appetizer! For the Entree we shared Roy's Trio which I still day dream about. The service was pleasant, our waitress was very helpful. The outdoor dinning was exactly the environment we wanted to be in after a long friday at work :-DSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This invite is just amazing. I love it, it is traditional with a modern touch! I love that! I would recommend getting this in the signature white textured paper rather than the fancy shimmery paper. I wish i got this invite with the round edges rather than straight however, it all still looked beautiful! This will definitely wow your guests!"
"These are feminine and exactly what I was looking for when purchasing my Mehendi invitations. I was able to customize it the way I wanted and it turned out really great. My only regret is not ordering it on shiny or better paper. The paper it comes on works well, but it would have been even better getting it on a higher grade paper."
"This arrived even before my delivery date; the card is very nice, good paper quality , the font makes it seem more fancy, however the digital printing keeps it's casual. Perfect for any rehearsal/pre wedding dinner. My sample had squared edges but I think it would look nicer with the rounded edge."
"I replaced the invitation wording with ease and as long as it fits physically, you can write any verse you like. I was able to customize the invitation to coordinate with all the wedding stationery and did not need to be a tech genius. The tool is easy and intuitive. When I wanted one of the custom ink colors, Navy, all I needed to do was ask in the special instructions section. The editor made two changes of which I approved and then sent a new proof. They made another change I requested after which i received another proof. This was a positive, collaborative experience. I love the invitation!"
"This card is a perfect match for my invitations. I ordered it with no print to use for table numbers. That will be a DIY project."

Louisiana State University Interim Chancellor and President William L. Jenkins, along with LSU Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart R. Bell, were in Lake Charles on Thursday to meet with locals about the university and to field questions.
"With a number of our alums and supporters in the Lake Charles area, we have a chance to tell them a little about what's going on, on our campus and to engage them in questions," Bell explained.
Also traveling with Jenkins and Bell was the E.J. Ourso College of Business Dean.
With the largest incoming freshman class ever – 5,700 freshman this past fall – the university is growing. However, the university is also facing a slew of challenges with budget cuts and the search for a new system president.
Jenkins said meeting with people around the state is important. He said it gives university supporters an opportunity to ask questions. Bell said the Lake Charles area is an important one.
"Hundreds of Lake Charles students make their way over to LSU every year and it's an opportunity for us to talk about that," he said.
"There is still a great deal of pride and confidence for LSU and an expectation of LSU that we have to realize and we have to deliver on," Jenkins added.
Jenkins said university officials have already made stops in Shreveport and Lafayette and will continue to bring their stakeholders up-to-date on what's happening on campus.
Jenkins said in each city he visits, people have serious questions about looming budget cuts.
"We are going through a difficult financial time and we have to point out where we are concerned but also how we are going to address it," Jenkins said.
Bell said working with alumni and students to keep students in Louisiana after graduating can help with the state's budget problems.
"The way we are going to solve this is to be more productive," he said.
While Jenkins currently serves as the president and chancellor of LSU, the university is currently looking for a new president.
The president will also take the role of president and chancellor.
While Jenkins does not play any part in the search, he does trust the judgment of those who will decide.
"We are a learn-and-see program with research, public service as well as education and that person needs to have a real sense of our purpose," Jenkins said.

The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning the public about criminals posing as DEA special agents or other law enforcement as part of an international extortion scam, stating that what started as a scheme based overseas, now has roots in the United States.
"I was one of those people who thought it could never happen to me," said Kathy Plouffe.
She didn't know it at the time, but the valley resident says she was the target of an extortion scheme where criminals pose as DEA agents.
She received this voicemail a few weeks ago:
"This is a message for Kathy. This is special agent Anthony Williams with the Drug Enforcement Administration. Give me a call as soon as possible at 617-***-****.
"They actually gave me a deposition number," said Plouffe.
Plouffe called the Boston number back and left her information on the voicemail where they again identified themselves as the DEA.
FOX 10 called the number as well and got the same official voicemail, asking for the caller's name, docket number and officer who originally contacted them.
"About 20 minutes later, this DEA agent Anthony Williams called me back and asked me if I purchased medication online through an online pharmacy and if when I did that if I knew it was illegal," Plouffe.
The DEA says the criminals target people who have bought prescription drugs over the internet or by phone -- something Plouffe admits to doing years ago.
"So they not only knew I did this, I ordered by credit card they had my address and monitoring my phone calls," she said. "Immediately I got hysterical and I was just crying and couldn't believe that here they could have come arrest me."
In most cases, the DEA says the criminals ask victims to wire money, but Plouffe says that's not what happened in her case.
"So he put me on hold, talked with the district attorney, got back on the phone, said what we can do is let you off with a fine, but you're going to need to come down to the courthouse and pay us today and it will be wiped off your record," she said. "He gave me the address -- 401 West Washington and they said it was going to be $5,400."
So Kathy drove to where she thought the closest bank was, at the Fry's at 27th Avenue and Bell Road, but the bank was no longer there, but it gave her husband a chance to catch their breath -- they got online and quickly realized it was a scam.
"It was very emotional stressing horrible experience for me," said Plouffe.
"No DEA agent will ever call members of the public demanding money or other forms of payment," said the DEA's Ramona Sanchez. She adds that the agency is well aware of the scheme, which they say has been going on for years. But she says the scams are starting to originate in the U.S.
So whereas in years past, you've seen this originating overseas. In May, you started seeing them originating in the east coast.
"That is correct they have expanded through the western states hoping more people will fall prey to these types of scams," said Sanchez.
The DEA says the criminals are preying off people's vulnerabilities since it is illegal to buy prescription drugs online or over the phone unless stringent requirements are met.
"And those rogue operations circulate that information to other rogue criminals' operations and they use that information so they could take advantage of vulnerabilities from the public," said Sanchez.
Sanchez doubts anyone would have actually met Plouffe at the courthouse, but no one's certain how the scheme would have ended.
"We have not at least in Arizona.. I am not aware of any scams that have played out," said Sanchez.
Plouffe didn't lose any money. She reported the incident on the DEA's web site.
"They contacted me back the next day and did tell me in fact it is something that's going on. There is no Anthony Williams, no special agent Jeff Summers in Arizona," she said.
"These criminals are not dumb criminals. They're very savvy," said Sanchez.
"They knew exactly what was going to sound legitimate in the eyes of whoever they were scamming," said Plouffe.
According to the DEA, impersonating a federal agent is a violation of federal law. The DEA says sometimes, victims will find fraudulent charges on their credit card, associated with this scheme.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Much of the Gulf Coast is returning to normal as former Tropical Storm Karen, now a depression, lumbers off the extreme southeast coast of Louisiana.
As of Sunday, southeastern Louisiana parishes have lifted evacuation orders, and Plaquemines Parish closed a shelter where more than 80 people had taken refuge Saturday. Officials there don't expect flooding.
Authorities are reopening flood gates closed Saturday to protect waterways from storm-driven tides. The Coast Guard says vessel traffic resumed at 12:15 a.m. at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
In Alabama, intermittent heavy rain moved across the coast Sunday and winds were brisk, but it wasn't bad enough to keep tourists off the beach.
In Florida, the state emergency response team returned to normal operations.

The NHL and the NHL Players' Association completed a memo of understanding on Saturday night, which officially ends its lockout and allows training camps to open on Sunday.
Owners voted to ratify the new collective bargaining agreement on Wednesday. The NHLPA's membership also accepted the new CBA in voting that concluded Saturday morning and was announced later in the afternoon. Later Saturday the league released its schedule for a 48-game season that begins next Saturday.
The Capitals will open on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning next Saturday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. They then return home after the Inauguration for three consecutive games on Jan. 22 (Winnipeg Jets), Jan. 24 (Montreal Canadiens) and Jan. 27 (Buffalo Sabres), a 3 p.m. Here is the full schedule with key dates released by the team.
Washington faces the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators three times each – but only once each at Verizon Center. The Caps also play the New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres three times each – two games against all of those opponents in the District.
In the Southeast Division, the Caps will see the Jets and Carolina Hurricanes five times. Three of the games vs. Carolina – the preseason favorite in the Southeast Division – are at Verizon Center. To limit travel to Winnipeg, where Washington plays three times, there is a rare back-to-back set in Manitoba on March 21 and 22. One trip, two games. Meanwhile, the Caps split four games with the Lightning and Florida Panthers. There are seven afternoon games on the schedule total, four of them at home.
Mark your calendar for yet another nationally televised Super Bowl Sunday game at Verizon Center – this time featuring the Penguins and star centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Last time we saw that crew on that day the teams staged an epic regular-season contest two days after a blizzard crippled the Washington area. The Caps rallied from a 4-1 deficit to win 5-4 in overtime. It is the fourth year in a row Washington will play an afternoon game on Super Bowl Sunday.
Ten of the Caps' 24 home games are slated for a Friday (1), Saturday (4) or Sunday (5). They end the season with a three-game homestand (Winnipeg, Ottawa, Boston). That final game against the Bruins is scheduled for April 27.
