"It was a good pitching performance," manager Pat Murphy said. "Thank goodness we broke the game open. We had a lot of opportunities early and didn't break the game open. (We) couldn't get the big hit early and got it later."
The Emeralds (20-4) 2011 12th round draft choice, Colin Rea, had not allowed more that two runs in any of his four previous starts. In his fifth start of the season, he spent his four inning of work finagling his way out of jams.
Rea stranded seven Bears (7-17) runners, beginning with working out of a bases loaded situation in the first inning. Rea issued two walks, three hits, struck out two, and didn't allow a run for the third outing this season.
"He didn't have his best stuff, but certainly he used his competitiveness and his 'pitchability' to survive," manager Pat Murphy said.
Rea's 1.17 ERA leads the Emeralds starting pitchers and ranks him second in the Northwest League.
The five innings of work from the Emeralds bullpen was nearly flawless with the only blemish coming in the fifth inning from an RBI single by Zach Jones off of Luis De La Cruz.
Cruz and Chris Wilkes, who each worked two innings, and Kevin Quackenbush, who worked the ninth inning, combined to not allow a hit after the fifth inning.
Quackenbush, the Emeralds closer, has yet to allow a run this season.
"Our bullpen has been great," catcher Jeremy Rodriguez said. "It's kind of funny, because we're short on bullpen right now, but the guys that we have they just hit their spots and come into key situations and they get the job done, and that's what the bullpen is suppose to do."
While able to score four runs in the first four innings, it was not a result of the Ems typically ferocious offense.
Yakima starting pitcher John Pedrotty was looking for his first win in his fourth start of the year but was plagued by a lack of command through his 2 2/3 innings of work.
Pedrotty had only issued six walks in 12 1/3 innings pitched this season, and was able to match that in his short outing.
He walked to first two Ems hitters of the second inning, and an attempted sacrifice bunt that resulted in a hit by Mike Gallic loaded the bases for Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was the third of four batters walked in the inning, which also brought home the first Emeralds run.
Despite having the bases loaded and no outs, Eugene could not plate another run, as Pedrotty would escape the inning after a Jorge Minyety double play and later a Mykal Stokes ground out.
"We've had a lot of opportunities lately, but just haven't been great at doing it, but thankful today that they did come through," Murphy said.
The Emeralds four-run seventh inning was highlighted by Minyety's RBI triple and singles from Kyle Gaedele, Jace Peterson and Rodriguez.
The Emeralds' first round draft selection in 2011, Cory Spangenberg, has seemed to come back to earth after his dynamic start to the year. He has still posted a .520 on-base percentage in his last 10 games, and was 1-for-4 with a double in Sunday's game.
"We're grateful we came away with a victory, because when (Spangenberg) is not on all cylinders—he's carried us for how many games? He's been as good of a player as you could ever ask for, and he's sputtering a little bit. He's still causing havoc, but he's sputtering a little bit."

On Whidbey Island, my market place, it appears we have hit bottom. The number of pending sales are way up (45%) and the listing price to sales price ratio is at 100%. (Meaning that buyers are paying the list price on correctly priced homes.)
If what they just reported is true maybe not that much. I heard they took out the $15,000 tax credit. I was really looking forward to sending that message out.
There've been some good discussions on this topic on Trulia Voices already. I encourage you to check out http://www.trulia.com/voices/Answer/What_does_everyone_think for some more opinions and insights.

If it doesn't I know a whole country of people that will be very disappointed. As Linda so thououghly pointed out, the stage is set.........now it's a matter of waiting to see what the results will be.
Already, there has never been more opportunity for buyers
and sellers alike!

Maria and Xavier are amazing hosts. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. It is ideally situated next to the metro station and a supermarket is just a few steps away. The apartment is very neatly furnished and has all the comforts you need for your stay in this lovely city of Barcelona with its hospitable and generous people like Maria and Xavier. Thanks you very much.
Both were great and very nice people. The location was very convenient and the apartment is clean.
Maria was very friendly . The Apartment got everything we needed , very clean and the location was very convenient for us as its very close to the Metro and not very far from the center . Only one night we had problems with the Stove not working but other than that everything was Flawless.
We had a wonderful time in Barcelona! Teresa was so nice right from the first commuication via Wimdu to our arrival in Barcelona when she had many tips and until our last day when we could leave our luggage in her own home as our flight back was only in the afternoon and the apartment already booked again. The apartment had everything we needed, from comfortable beds to a nice bathroom and enough space (we stayed as two persons). We liked the convenient proximity to Lidl and the Rambla de Poblenou where we had dinner nearly every evening. And of course you can easily walk to the beach and easily get to the city center via Metro just round the corner. À la prochaine!
We really really loved this appartment from Maria and Xavier! It is super in location, Equipment and coziness. If we travel again to Barcelona we definitely book again this appartment. We also will recommend it to everyone!
Had a fantastic time in Teresa's appartment - in the heart of Poblenou, yet on a quiet side street, so we could leave the windows open at night ;)
The place itself is great - spacious, confortable and with a very helping host. Oh, and with AC, which is not always a given in Barcelona!
The apartment is a great location and pretty close to Poblenou metro by a 3 minutes walk. The hosts are really nice and make sure the apartment are clean and comfortable for us to staying. I would recommend this apartment if you want to stay in a quiet and safe place. Thank you! We really enjoyed our stay!
Maria Teresa and Xavier were a perfect hosts! Very nice and concerned about our comfort and a good stay. Always ready to help us.
I really enjoyed staying at this apartment. The place was perfect for two people. We cooked our meals, the kitchen was well provided. Place was clean, beds were comfortable. We could even use a hairdryer and an iron. Very convinient neighbourhood with many shops around. Close to the metro station and the beach. Perfect place to enjoy Barcelona!
We had 5 days in Barcelona. It was a wonderful time and the apartment was perfect. The location is only a few meters from the next metro line and a 10 minute walk to the beach.
Thanks a lot to Teresa and Xavier!
The apartment is exactly the same as shown on the photos. The hosts were very nice and friendly. Very good connection by metro - 3 minutes. Shop nearby and what is the most important this is really a silent place. We recommend!

Eurovision Fashion Disasters - The Douze of the Don'ts
Dr Eurovision
Over the years there have been so many Eurovision entries have been somewhat overshadowed by the choice of outfit on the night. Compiling a short list of Eurovision fashion 'disasters' has not been an easy task for several reasons. Firstly, there are so many dodgy costumes! More importantly, styles change. It's difficult enough to look back on old photographs of family gatherings, let alone international song contests! What might have been the height of fashion at one point might not necessarily be so at another time. It's too easy to mock the 80s or any other decade. The outfits listed here are arguably ugly in any decade...
12) Portugal 2006 – Nonstop
Nonstop are the Portuguese version of Girls Aloud. Apart from the dodgy vocals, there are little similarities between these girls and our British beauties! Their choice of costume for Athens appeared to be modelled on a Playboy version of a keep fit class. They even sang "everything waits when you're dancing in style". This implies either something about their dancing or their style. In this case it was a failure on both parts. As UK commentator Paddy O'Connell said "They had one frock and they fought over it".
11) Belgium 1993 – Barbara Dex
Belgium's Barbara Dex came last in 1993. However all was not lost, she went on to have an international award named after her! The Barbara Dex Award is presented to the worst dressed performer(s) in the Eurovision Song Contest and is voted for by the fans. Twenty years on from her contest, Barbara Dex remembers Eurovision fondly and even seems honoured that there is an award bearing her name. She made her dress herself you know…
10) FYR Macedonia 2005 - Martin Vučić
I thought you were meant to put in a bit of effort when performing in front of hundreds of millions? Martin seems like a nice enough bloke but certainly wasn't dressed for success in 2005! The ill-fitting jacket, jeans and t-shirt really didn't allow him to present himself at his best; he looked more like he was heading off to the cinema for the evening. Even the backing singers looked like they weren't that bothered about being there.
9) Switzerland 1988 – Celine Dion
One of the most famous winners of Eurovision ever, Celine Dion deserves recognition not only for her outfit but also her perm! Her performance was vocally flawless although it would take a long time before she would become the highly stylised chanteuse that she is today. Celine might be forgiven since it was 1988 but she deserves to be here because surely at some point she looked in the mirror and yet still took to the stage! She's got guts if nothing else!
8) Hungary 2009 – Zoli Adok
If you've got it, flaunt it! Hungary's Zoli gave a somewhat flamboyant performance of his song in Eurovision in Moscow. Aided by some very tight trousers he managed to reach those high notes, just a shame that he missed most of the others! I've been to many strange clubs and have never seen anything quite like this. He does get points for the dance moves though!
7) Finland 1994 – CatCat
The Finns don't do themselves any favours do they? In 1994 they had quite a catchy little number which was well-performed. They appear to have forgotten to put clothes on though. As Terry Wogan said, they were "wearing their mother's underwear". That's a lovely thought! These girls actually look younger now than they did back then. Some people really can turn back time!
6) Iceland 2009 – Yohanna
Iceland came second in 2009 with a lovely ballad and not such a lovely dress. Resembling something that might have been made in a sewing class at school, this was neither flattering nor stylish. Someone more savage might suggest that the dress made her look like one of those dolls that were used to cover up toilet rolls in the bathroom. I couldn't possibly comment...
5) Romania 2004 - Sanda Ladoși
They say less is more and that was certainly the case with Sanda's clothes in 2004. The hair, makeup and interesting choice of outfit made her catchy pop song seem like something a little sordid. Could the outfit explain the lack of votes on the night?
4) UK 2005 – Katie Price
Katie Price
This isn't strictly Eurovision since Katie Price lost out to Javine in the UK selection that year, however this outfit deserves recognition, if only for Katie's balls! 5 months pregnant and prancing around in a pink leather cat suit. Now was she trying to be Tinky Winky or La La? What if she had actually made it to Ukraine? She might have had the ultimate Eurovision gimmick!
3) Romania 1998 – Mălina Olinescu
Poor Mălina, her song and strong vocal performance were overshadowed by her decision to wear a pair of curtains from the local stately home. The choice of jewelry, resembling something from a dressing up box didn't help improve the look either. Mălina sadly passed away in 2011 although her song remains a firm favourite with many Eurovision fans.
2) Spain 1999 – Lydia
Spain's song in 1999 was called "No quiero escuchar" which translates as "I don't want to listen" and clearly the singer, Lydia, didn't when opted to wear this dress on stage. Perhaps the use of the rainbow flag, the international symbol of gay pride, was a show of solidarity with the contests many gay fans? Lydia's Spain finished last with just one point in 1999. Perhaps this ill-fitting dress hypnotized the viewers?
1) Netherlands 1977 – Heddy Lester
The Dutch entry in 1977 showed that having a nice colour meant nothing if the frock was downright freaky. Whilst it was original, it resembled something akin to an internal examination or a skin complaint on Embarrassing Bodies.

Little help please-- all mountain-- looking to buy
okay this will be my second season and i want a new board i do park and i also like to ride the slopes.. so looking for something to take care of both. Im not very advanced in the park a 360 is as far as i go so. any suggestions on board. Maybe Ride Agenda?..
How much time would you say you spend on each?? and How tall are you ( what size board do you currently have ?? )
well im 5' 9" and i currently have a 158 burton blunt, and a 151 rome articfact. im looking to spend around 300 maybe a little more i should be selling my burton. i have been doing a lot more park lately just trying to get better there but i really like just hitting the hills. so alomst 50/50
Don't go with the Agenda if you're on a strict 300 dollar budget go look at something like the Atomic Hatchet or Capita Stairmaster instead.
what about a GNU riders choice MTX.. i really like this board does anyone have it or riden one
Riders choice mtx - Google Product Search
Going to be dropping big cliff drops?
noo.. but i tried reading around a little bit and it made it sound like a good all around board
You would be sadly mistaken.
What makes the riders choice not a good all mountain board? I've been looking for a btx wide board for a little bit of everything.

I really liked the tattoo options offered in the pack.
My only issue was the lighter colors of the white & gold were hard to see on my olive complection. The navy blue looked great.
They were VERY easy to apply & took a lot of scrubbing with make up remover to take off, so no worry about "accidental" removal! :)

South Korea slams Japan's proposal to list slave labour locations as Unesco World Heritage Sites
South Korea has slammed the Japanese government's proposal to register industrial facilities as a Unesco World Heritage Site because of their association with Korean slave labourers during the second world war, South Korean media reported this week.
Tokyo plans to recommend 28 places to be collectively designated as a World Heritage Site in 2015, said Chosun newspaper, South Korea's biggest daily.
Among the sites to be recommended to the UN agency are a shipyard in Nagasaki, a defunct coal mine in Hashima, a steel mill in Fukuoka and other facilities that are still in use.
During the war, approximately 4,700 Koreans were forced to work at the Nagasaki shipyard to build warships and some 800 others worked at the Hashima mine, according to the South Korean media reports.
The sites, mostly located in Japan's southwestern island of Kyushu, are worthy of inclusion on the Unesco list because they played a pivotal role in the country's industrialisation during the Meiji era from 1868 to 1912, the Japanese newspaper Asahi explained.
Tokyo will reportedly submit its formal recommendation for the "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution" to Unesco on February 1, 2015.
South Korea, however, condemned Japan for picking sites that carry painful memories for wartime Korean slave labourers, some of whom are still alive today.
Japanese media also came under fire for omitting references to wartime slave labour at the sites.
"Japan shows no sign of relenting in a campaign to whitewash its wartime atrocities by direct and indirect means," wrote the Seoul-based Chosun.
South Korea's foreign ministry recently summoned a high-level Japanese diplomat in Seoul to express that "listing facilities that are laden with the pain of a neighbouring country violates the principles and spirit of being a world heritage site", Korean diplomatic sources told the Yonhap News Agency.
Japan's use of Chinese slave labour has also been a thorny issue between Beijing and Tokyo. From 1943 to 1945, around 40,000 Chinese were forced to work in Japan to fuel the country's war effort, according to Chinese media.
In Beijing today, the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression revealed more than 400 documents, which it said details how Japan used tens of thousands of Chinese slave workers during the war.

How to Succeed at Social Commerce
"This is the most exciting time in the history of commerce," Bazaarvoice Founder and CEO Brett Hurt said to open his firm's annual Social Commerce Summit. "We are writing the new commerce textbook, together."
It was, perhaps, a grand claim, yet one that the conference's presenters-including marketing leaders from 3M, Facebook, Johnson & Johnson, L.L. Bean, P&G, Urban Outfitters, Xerox, and others-delivered on by sharing practical and actionable accounts of their social commerce efforts, obstacles, and lessons.
Social media adoption and related technological advancements have created a social commerce landscape in which "the paths to purchase are now unlimited," asserted Alex Tosolini, vice president of global e-business for P&G, before he detailed the social commerce challenges and opportunities the world's largest consumer packaged goods company is currently addressing. For example, Tosolini notes that there are continually opportunities to invest in new social media tools. But before doing so, he guides his team to first determine the returns on existing social media investments and then work together to select the most relevant business measures to make the case for new investments.
Hurt's partner, Bazaarvoice Cofounder and Chief Innovation Officer Brant Barton emphasized that the conventional wisdom describing a power shift from brands to consumers that, therefore, pits brands against their customers is off the mark. Instead, he said the change should be reframed as a power balance that enables a win-win relationship.
The theme of balance ran through most of the presentations and discussions. Here are four of the most noteworthy questions that were addressed:
How to balance cause and effect: Social media consultant and author Clay Shirky discussed how social media tools-including ratings and reviews, questions and answers, and other user generated content (UGC)-generated feedback loops. When you introduce a new tool to a community, the tool changes the behavior of the community, Shirky explained, and that behavioral change modifies the nature of the tool and how the tool is used. For example, Adobe Systems witnessed, and benefitted from, the feedback loop when it enlisted a group of its influencers to evaluate a new branding campaign prior to its launch. "What happened," reported Adobe Vice President, Brand Marketing John Travis, "was so much more than that." Adobe's influencers provided valuable insights to a much wider range of topics, including potential product enhancements and new ways to interact with customers. This notion, which cropped up in numerous presentations and discussions, suggested an update on Marshall McLuhan's famous insight that the media is the message: In the realm of social commerce, the social aspect is the true value.
How to balance immediate needs and the need to scale: Jeremiah Owyang, an Altimeter Group analyst, laid out priorities to help social marketing programs scale, while preventing them from becoming social media help desks. Among other recommendations, Owyang suggested that heads of social marketing programs find ways to enlist the community to assist with first-tier marketing and support, develop a social marketing center of excellence, and launch a formal customer advocacy program.
How to balance the need to measure ROI with the cost of measuring ROI. Every practitioner who spoke emphasized the importance of demonstrating return on investment, a synonym for "our right to exist," Travis pointed out. However, Travis and others noted that identifying relevant metrics was crucial because so many measure and so much data are available. Travis, who said he now invests more time forecasting returns on new social commerce programs (rather than only recording it after the fact), emphasized the importance of balancing quantitative and qualitative metrics: volume of conversation and sentiment of conversation; number of followers and quality of followers.
Dimitri Siegel, executive director of marketing for Urban Outfitters, pointed out that he is careful to avoid spending too much on ROI measurement activities that he could otherwise invest in social media activities that directly improve customer experience.
How to balance innovation and consistency. Fostering a consistent customer experience across the numerous touchpoints that social media has created represented another challenge that received significant attention. These discussions touched on the balance between policy (e.g., social media guidelines designed, among other objectives, to manage reputational risk) and empowerment (e.g., the human voice we want employees to use to engage and delight customers), as well as the balance between adoption and resistance. The idea of "paying" customers (with incentives) to complete product reviews, for example, "would have given our product managers hives," said L.L. Bean Senior Vice President and CMO Steve Fuller. To avoid that symptom, Fuller and his team developed a clear and well-defined process for evaluating and responding to ratings and reviews, a process that has never included "incentivizing" customers to review products online.
Xerox Corporate Vice President and CMO Christa Carone found it particularly challenging from a cultural and internal change management perspective to implement ratings and review capabilities on Xerox's site. Yet it was in many ways one of the most exciting stories at the event. "It's a big deal for a B2B company to do this," she said. "[But] our engineers, who take great pride in their products, had concerns." Carone and her team are working to alleviate those concerns by establishing social media guidelines, clearly showing how the company's code of conduct applies to communicating with customers in social channels, and providing social media training.
Carone's story, like those of her fellow presenters, showed how the future of commerce is likely to unfold now that we have entered the Era of Electronic Word of Mouth.

19-year-old Nepali Girl Gang-raped in South Delhi
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 27th March 2014 12:38 AM
Last Updated: 27th March 2014 09:41 AM
A 19-year-old Nepali girl was allegedly gang-raped by four people, three of whom including a juvenile have been apprehended, police said today.
The incident took place in Vasant Kunj area of South Delhi last evening when one of the accused, who was known to the victim, took her to an isolated place on some pretext.
"He was soon joined by three of his friends who then took turns to rape her. The accused allegedly also threatened her of dire consequences if she revealed the incident to anyone," said a senior police official.
The girl somehow informed the police about the incident which instantly swung into action and nabbed the juvenile. His other two accomplices, identified as Sandeep (25) and Ashish (20) were arrested on his instance from the same area, police said.
The fourth accused, who was known to the victim is still on the run and efforts are on to nab him. He had assured her that he would get her employed as domestic help somewhere. All the four accused are unemployed themselves, police said.

Wycombe Abbey is an independent girls' boarding school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It is academically one of the top schools in the United Kingdom, and the top girls' boarding school (in terms of academic results). The school was founded in 1896 by Frances Dove (later Dame Frances Dove], who was previously headmistress of St Leonards School in Scotland. Its present capacity is approximately 540 girls, aged 11 to 18. The school is situated in 160 acres (650,000 m²) of ground in central High Wycombe. The land includes woods, gardens and a lake, and rises up to 500 feet (150 m) above sea level in the Chiltern Hills. The land is owned freehold by the school. The main house and several buildings at Wycombe Abbey are Grade II*-listed.
Early history[edit]
The history of the school building itself predates Wycombe Abbey's acquisition of it. In the thirteenth century, the area, with the parish church, was part of the holding of the Abbess of Godstow. Ironically the priory at Godstowe, 600 years later, was too refounded as a school by Dame Frances Dove, and today is a 'feeder' preparatory school for Wycombe Abbey.
On the site of the present Wycombe Abbey was a large manor house known as 'Loakes House' which until 1700 was the seat of the Archdale family, when Thomas Archdale sold it to Henry Petty, 1st Earl of Shelburne. The first Earl of Shelburne in turn bequeathed the estate to his grand nephew William Petty (who inherited a different Earldom of Shelburne in 1761,[1] and became Prime Minister in 1782). The Shelburnes, however, had a far larger and grander residence at Bowood House in the Savernake Forest. They spent little time at Loakes House.
Consequently, Lord Shelburne sold his estates in the area. Loakes House was purchased from them at auction by Robert Smith, 1st Baron Carrington in 1798. He then employed the architect James Wyatt to transform Loakes House into the present Wycombe Abbey as we see it today. The original house and other parts of the school are Grade II*-listed buildings with English Heritage.[2]
The 'new' Wycombe Abbey[edit]
As an architect James Wyatt captured the romantic spirit of his era, creating a gothic ecclesiastical style. While building Wycombe, he was also engaged in the building of the greatest gothic extravaganza of the age, Fonthill Abbey, a mansion that was a complete replica of a medieval cathedral complete with soaring tower; it was supposed to resemble the fictitious Castle of Otranto. Fonthill is now demolished which leaves Wycombe Abbey as one of the most important examples of this type of architecture remaining.
While a far less ambitious project than Fonthill, Wycombe Abbey is a jewel of the romantic gothic style. The castellated three floored central block has turrets on each corner, and is seven bays wide, with sash windows. On the ground floor they are ogee topped in the ecclesiastical manner. There is a slightly incongruous bay oriel window in the centre of the second floor. Attached, by a two floored wing, is a chapel-like block clearly indicating the architect's intention to emulate an abbey; this wing is completed by statues in niches on the external wall in the medieval catholic manner.
The whole composition is an echo of the house's larger sister at Fonthill. Like Fonthill Abbey, the whole structure was intended to imitate one of the older country houses genuinely converted from an old abbey or monastery. The final stage of the transformation was the renaming of Loakes House to Wycombe Abbey. This suited the mood of the era admirably.
Wycombe Abbey in World War II[edit]
The Air Ministry requisitioned Wycombe Abbey School in March 1942 to serve as the headquarters of the United States Eighth Air Force after the entry of the United States into World War II. It was returned to Wycombe Abbey on 9 May 1946.[3]
As at most public schools, the pupils are divided into Houses. The Houses at Wycombe Abbey are: Airlie, Barry, Butler, Campbell, Cloister, Pitt, Rubens, Shelburne and Wendover. Girls in UVI live in Clarence, while the junior-most girls, UIIIs, live in Junior House. Every house at Wycombe Abbey is linked to a colour and, as part of the school uniform, girls wear ties which correspond to their House colour i.e., pale blue – Barry, green – Cloister, brown – Airlie, pink – Rubens, yellow – Pitt, orange – Butler, purple – Campbell, dark blue – Shelburne, red – Wendover, lavender – Junior. Each girl also has her own 'House Mother', a girl in the year above in the same House who looks after her, particularly when new to the school. Each House has a housemistress and matrons. The current headmistress is Rhiannon Wilkinson.

Comments about Tokyo Milk French Kiss Bon Bon Shea Lotion, 2.3 oz:
This makes me sick and I wish I knew what the scent is so I'd know to avoid it if in the description. I researched the French kiss perfume and thought the description was perfect. Not too strong; and made up of flowers I like except two I am unfamiliar with (one of which must be the culprit). That said, I am giving it two stars because IF you like the scent, (and those that like woodsier stuff like patchouli, might) you are in for a great value because it is next to impossible to get off. I had to scrub my hands with a scouring brush and soap THREE times to get it off and could still smell it faintly. I can't say if it is moisturizing because I had to get it off immediatley. Suffice it to say, my hands were raw afterwards. Not my cup of tea, and I wouldn't want to be around it, but if you like it, it will last!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Jennings wedding ceremony unites local couple
A seven o'clock evening ceremony on Friday, Jan. 9, 2010 at Our Lady Help of Christians in Jennings united Alaina Cassie LeJeune and Joshua Anthony Pellissier, both of Branch, in marriage. The double-ring ceremony was celebrated by Fr. McMillian.
The bride is the daughter of Marcella Schmidt of Branch and Randal LeJeune of Carencro. Her grandparents are Wallace LeJeune of Branch, Francis LeJeune of Branch, Alice LeJeune of Richard and the late Aaron LeJeune. She is a graduate of Rayne High School and attended LSU-Eunice.
The groom is the son of Joey Pellissier and Debbie Melancon of Rayne. His grandparents are Bertha and James (Jimmy) Romero of Rayne, and Francis and Leona Pellissier of Rayne. He attended Rayne High School and is employed as a natural gas mechanic for T.F. Services.
Guests were seated by the ushers, Kenneth Romero, the groom's godfather, and Aaron Lavergne, cousin of the bride.
Scriptures were recited by Cheryl McGee, aunt of the bride, and Mary Thibodeaux, godmother of the bride.
Musical selections were provided by David Medus.
Traditional items selected by the bride for her wedding day included her great-grandmother's rosary as something old, her wedding dress as something new, a bracelet from her twin sister as something borrowed, and her garter as something blue.
Escorted by her father, the bride wore a strapless wedding gown of ivory satin featuring soft pin-ups along the hemline of the ball gown styling. The bodice was enhanced with crystal details throughout, leading into a semi-cathedral length train featuring pin-ups and buttons down the back noted with crystal details on alternating buttons. A halo-styled headpiece of silver and crystal accents detailed with ivory flower with a light dusting of ivory feathers held cathedral and blusher veils of sheer illusion both edged with Swarovski crystals at the hemline. She carried a bridal bouquet of mostly ivory roses with pink roses and dark lilies with small ivory feathers.
Attending their sister as matrons of honor were Lynzie Rochett and Shana Navarre. Bridesmaids were Tanya Touchet, aunt of the groom; Heather Romero and Angel Romero, cousins of the groom; Aimee McGee, cousin of the bride; and Candyn Richard, aunt of the groom.
Bridal attendants each wore a formal length gown of berry-tone chiffon featuring satin at the shoulder straps and empire waist lining. Each carried a bouquet of soft pink roses touched with dark edging.
Junior bridesmaid was Katelyn Young, cousin of the bride. She wore a short-sleeved, formal length, A-lined dress of ivory satin gathered to the back with a bow tie. She carried miniature ivory roses interspersed with soft pink roses.
The groom's godchild, Briley Melancon served as flower girl. She wore a floor length dress of ivory satin topped with ivory organza which accentuated the full skirt. She also carried ivory and soft pink blooms.
Attending the groom as best man was a friend, Tyler Navarre. Groomsmen were Dillon LeJeune, brother of the bride; Conrad Romero, uncle of the groom; Lenny Dorsey, Joshua Melancon and Damian Cormier, friends of the groom; and Cody Robinson, brother of the groom. Each wore a formal black Ralph Lauren tuxedo with ivory shirt and berry-tone tie and vest. The lapel sported a dark calla lily and ivory rose boutonniere.
Serving as ring bearer was Grant Pellissier, the couple's son. He, like the groom, wore a formal black Ralph Lauren tuxedo with white shirt, tie and vest. The lapel was noted with a dark calla lily and ivory rose boutonniere.
For her daughter's wedding, the mother of the bride wore a floor length dress of navy blue taffeta featuring a collared V-neckline, long sleeves, and a wrap waist sash pinned with a crystal broach clasp.
The groom's mother selected a two-piece ensemble of burnish taffeta including a floor-length skirt topped with a jacket-styled, V-neck, top with short sleeves and a flaring waistline.
Immediately following the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds were honored during a reception held at The Grand Marais in Jennings.
Among the refreshments provided for the guest was the wedding cake, a three-tiered square confection of ivory fondant with each tier accented at the base with berry-toned ribbon. A variety of fillings were included from the silver cake base to the floral topper of ivory, pink and red blooms.
The groom's cake was a fondant creation of a tool box filled with edible tools. The chocolate confection was filled with Oreo filling.
Guests attended the wedding from numerous points of Louisiana, in addition to Texas.
Following a wedding trip to Punta Cana of the Dominican Republic, the couple will reside in Branch.
Prior to the wedding, a rehearsal dinner was held Friday, Jan. 8, 2010 at the home of the groom's mother. The hosts, Debbie Melancon and Quentin Melancon, treated guests to an old-fashioned chicken and sausage gumbo, along with all the trimmings and numerous desserts.

Henriksen et al1 provided useful data on the short-term complications of breast reconstruction with implants. Although the invited critique described the complication rate as "alarmingly high and arguably unacceptable," the complication rate is even higher in other studies with superior study designs.
For example, a study conducted by the implant manufacturer Inamed found that 46% of patients with reconstruction needed additional surgery within the first 2 to 3 years after getting silicone gel breast implants2—more than twice as high as the 21% reported by Henriksen et al. One explanation is that the women in the Henriksen et al study had breast implants for an average of only 23 months, compared with 2 to 3 years in the Inamed study. Henriksen et al reported that 31% developed at least 1 serious complication and 16% developed at least 2 serious complications. The Inamed study reported that 25% underwent implant removal, 16% experienced Baker III-IV capsular contracture, 6% experienced necrosis, 6% had breast pain, and 6% had scarring, in addition to infections and other complications.2

MYRTLE BEACH -- Beachfront communities on the South Carolina Grand Strand seem to have different views on allowing beach tents on the shore.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that last month, municipalities in the area were asked to get a consensus of how they wanted to regulate the tents.
North Myrtle Beach City Council voted Monday to support a ban on tents from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Last week, Horry County Council voted to leave current tent rules in place. Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach take up the matter next week.
Currently on the Grand Strand tents are limited to 12 feet-by-12 feet and there are rules on just where they can be placed. They cannot go up before 8 a.m. and must be taken down by 7 p.m.

We all know Jerrod Johnson, Von Miller, and Jeff Fuller but there are five players who are incoming freshman or did not see much play time last year. They each have abilities that the A&M team has been either lacking or needed to be replaced this year. These players can make Texas A&M the team it used to be in time. There are other plays who could come along but these players could do it from day one.
5 New Players You Need to Know At Texas A&M
By Fletcher Whiteley ,
Considered the best prospect by many in this recruiting class, Luke Joeckel a 6'6 280 OT was the sixth best lineman in the nation. He enrolled early and has already made great strides including starting in the Spring game.
He had to sit out last year with an injury but Coryell was one of the top JC defensive backs in 2009. His old coach said he reminded him of Chris McAlister. He matched Fuller stride-for-stride in the Spring game.
He replaced Matt Moss on the DE spot and many thinks could be the breakout player of the year. In high school, he had nine sacks and 39 QB hurries in a 3-4 scheme.
Very similar to Joeckel but did not enroll early. A great run blocker and can play anywhere on the line. He and Joeckel are both expected to start this season.
A kicker/punter, yes a walk on kicker can be the starting punter this year. He averaged 34.13 yards a punt in his only year of football. Ryan Epperson only averaged 34.13. Could even become the kicker this year.

SUNRISE, Fla. - Plastered above the rolls of tape, chewing gum and the dock that controls their music selections, a conspicuous sign appeared yesterday in the Flyers' locker room in the humid BB & T Center.
It read: "Discipline - Desire - Dedication," not an unusual slogan to join the Flyers on the road under Craig Berube this season.
The only difference was the background, which featured Lord Stanley's chalice to go along with the Philadelphia skyline. It was perhaps the first mention of the Stanley Cup at any point this season.
Now, after a 4-10-1 start that left them seemingly dead in the water, the Flyers can officially turn their focus toward reclaiming that trophy that has proved so elusive for each of the past 37 seasons.


text: The $19,990 special 14. June 2015 2353 Opinion pieces/current affairs (39) The amount of ink spilled in the analysis of the 2015 Australian budget would probably fill Sydney Harbour. The number of electrons expended in the same way would probably light up a small town for a week. There is no need to add to the consumption of electrons here. Instead, let's look at the sales pitch. To put it into perspective, there is, unfortunately, a little bit of economics that we have to endure. Australia is one of the few countries in the world to maintain a AAA 'credit rating'. Nominally, that means that the country can borrow money at lesser cost. Australia is one of the few countries in the world that can truthfully claim that the economy has not been in a recession in the last 20+ years. Things are, however, not all rosy in the garden: while it is a positive that we do have a Reserve Bank official cash rate above 0%, it is at the time of writing a hardly stellar 2%. In fact 2% is the lowest it has ever been. The official cash rate is the measure of how much interest the Reserve Bank is prepared to pay lenders should it decide it will hold on to money that banks can't place elsewhere (at a higher return). Interest rates, to an extent, also refer to consumer confidence. If consumers are confident that the economy is bubbling along quite nicely, they are more comfortable to borrow to upgrade the house, buy the shiny new car or spend the 'rainy day money' on a visit to Disneyland, the new lounge suite or buy the larger TV (because a 55 inch TV would look absolutely fabulous!). In a similar way if business thinks that the consumer is going to 'walk' into their business and make a purchase, they will be more inclined to upgrade the computer system, buy the new delivery van, upgrade the shop fittings and so on. The problem is that once consumers lose confidence, it takes a lot to get the confidence back. At the start of the Global Financial Crisis, the Rudd Government, on the advice of Treasury, distributed billions by way of $900 cheques. The Opposition at the time decried the extravagance claiming that some would spend the money wastefully — and produced examples of people taking the money straight to the local pokie palace or to the local electronics store to purchase the largest TV they could get. Regardless of the morality, those that work in pokie palaces and electronics stores kept their jobs as a result of the expenditure. While Rudd was trying to appeal to his constituency, the $900 cheques did keep the economy ticking along and, with assistance from other programs, did keep Australia from tipping into recession. The pumping of the economy by the Rudd/Gillard Government also retained consumer confidence — people were prepared to go out and spend the windfall. The other parts of the Rudd/Gillard package prolonged the demand through both quick and long term infrastructure improvements to people's homes (while assisting to reduce energy usage and costs) as well as considerable new infrastructure to schools, health care providers and so on. Human nature being what it is, if people have a reasonable expectation of receiving an income next week, they will not conserve every cent they have this week. In contrast, prior to the 2014 — it's going to be tough — budget, Hockey and Cormann were pictured smoking cigars. The reason for the 'toughness' that was to be imposed on the community was claimed to be due to the 'debt and deficit disaster' inherited by the Abbott Government. Regardless of the truth of the 'debt and deficit' claim, Hockey killed consumer confidence. The marketing of the budget in 2014 resulted in News Corp publishing an article like this, dryly listing the adverse effects of the budget on 'the average person/family', such as: IF YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR WHO BULK-BILLS ... All the rumours were true. From July 1, 2015, you will have to pay a $7 "patient contribution" fee each time you visit your GP. You'll also get slapped with that charge when you visit out-of-hospital pathology and imaging services, such as getting an X-Ray or an MRI. Concession card patients and kids under 16 years will only have to pay the contribution for their first 10 visits a year. Doctors have discretion to choose who pays the fee, but there is a catch. If GPs choose not to charge a patient, they won't receive their $6.20 bulk billing consultation payment from the government. While Abbott and Hockey were effectively telling us all to swallow our medicine, they were showing a distinct inability to get budget measures through the Senate. The ABC reported in late May 2014 that Hockey was threatening that interest rates, as well as taxes and charges, would increase if the budget measures did not pass the Senate. History will tell us that a lot of the measures that weren't passed by the Senate were quietly rescinded in the 2015 Budget. We also now know that the official interest rate set by the Reserve Bank fell over the period of the 2014 budget to the lowest level ever — 2% — causing the Chief Executive of CPA Australia, Alex Malley, to comment, as reported in The Saturday Paper: "A 2 per cent interest rate is another way of saying there's no pulse in the economy," says Malley. So then we come to Budget 2015. If Hockey and Cormann shared some time smoking cigars again, it certainly wasn't in public view. Hockey returned to his 'genial Joe' persona pointing out the benefits to all from the latest budget. Sophie Morris, who wrote The Saturday Paper article linked above, observed: In an extraordinary about-face, Hockey has gone from being the treasurer who helped destroy consumer and business confidence last year, with a tough budget and talk of "debt and deficit disaster", to an enthusiastic hawker going all-out to try to rekindle it. He's throwing himself into the task with all the gusto of a steak knife salesman on daytime television. In an interview with one of the 'doyens' of the Australian media, Laurie Oakes, Hockey was asked what happened to the 'debt and deficit disaster' last year since there has been little improvement in the Australian Government's budget position: Hockey replied: "Well, we made significant progress last year, Laurie, and that's underestimated, but we actually have come a long way. Now we are on the next stage of our plan to build growth, and we're investing." You could also question if the change in attitude was somehow influenced by the last 12 months of opinion polls, as evidenced by the commentary that the 2015 budget has ensured the ALP would now win an election by a smaller margin than for most of the past 12 months. The 'highlight' of this year's budget is the $20,000 immediate write off for asset purchases by small business. The plan apparently is for small business to go out and purchase business related equipment — which in turn means money is pumped into the economy, people in the businesses that supply equipment to small business retain their jobs and go out and spend their income to inject further money in the economy. Of course it is a complete coincidence that the strategy is similar to the Rudd/Gillard strategy to address the GFC, which the LNP so roundly criticised at the time for being economically reckless. There are some differences of course: Rudd/Gillard were responding to a worldwide event; Abbott and Hockey are responding to an event of their own making. Both political parties are of course favouring their preferred demographic. It appears, however, that the 'sales job' to unaligned Senators in 2015 is no better than it was last year. Fairfax Media is reporting: Almost three weeks into its budget sales job the Abbott government is still struggling to secure Senate support for some of its key proposals, leaving billions of dollars of savings in doubt. The government's age pension changes, childcare package, cuts to paid parental leave and plan to impose a one-month wait for the dole all still face an uncertain fate in the upper house. While crossbench negotiations are set to ramp up even further in the coming weeks, it looks increasingly likely the government will be forced to abandon or heavily amend some of its plans. The latest crossbench talks come after the Parliamentary Budget Office warned Senate intransigence could carve a $100 billion black hole in revenue in the next decade. Abbott, Hockey and others have accused the Rudd/Gillard Government of spending excessively, in turn making the dramatic spending cuts of the last two budgets prudent and necessary. For a number of years, this 'self-evident' truth has been accepted at face value by a large proportion of Australian media (and the community). It is clear that the unaligned Senators have thought differently when disallowing a number of the revenue measures proposed by Abbott and Hockey. It is perhaps ironic that the elected Senators of Australia have demonstrated the sales pitch doesn't convince them and the ABC's FactCheck unit determined that Abbott and Hockey are now spending more that Rudd/Gillard did. Hockey's sales pitch this year is better, but the budget is still about ideology rather than improving the status and wellbeing of our society. What do you think? What can we expect from this government except a litany of failure? 2353 points out that in selling their two budgets they have shown that they couldn't sell a glass of water to a thirsty man. Worse, they demonstrate their hypocrisy with an approach in 2015 that they roundly criticised when in Opposition and is the polar opposite of their own approach in 2014. Can they get any worse? Let us know what you think. Come back next week when 2353 will consider the politics of the marriage equality issue. About 2353

Is There Such a Thing as a Positive Troll?
Could there be a positive troll? Regular trolls just go around and try and piss people off with terrible, annoying and uneducated posts, but could there be positive trolls out there, that just go around trying to make people happy with just generally nice posts?
A positive troll?????????
I dont think that a positive troll exist. It just isnt possible...........
Prove me wrong if I am......
Yes! Georgie! He is my favorite!
why in the world is this thread in General MMA Discussion?
(edit) I moved it to the lounge for I can not see any other place for this thread
I haven't given it much thought, apart from wondering why you'd want to ask this question.
I think that the closest thing to a positive troll would be a nice person. :thumb02:
The best we can do is attempt to engage in civil and respectful debate and discussion, I guess.
Of course, with the aforementioned negativity, there can still be an exaggerated leaping back, "I wasn't either being confrontational or insulting anybody! MOD R DUMB!!"
Just wanted to pop out of my hole to say how informed and enlightening the discussion here has been. I'd like to thank those participating in it for an educational experience and I sincerely hope you all have a pleasant and invigorating day.
Fairy tale.
^^positive troll. haha

Lewis Black bringing comedy back to Summerfest
In addition to drum fills, guitar solos and the cheers of thousands, jokes and laughter have been a recurring part of the Summerfest soundtrack. Bob Hope was one of Summerfest's first big headliners, with two shows at County Stadium in 1969, and in the decades since then Billy Crystal, Jay Leno, Dave Chappelle, Jon Stewart, Lewis Black and others have been booked to play a Summerfest stage or tent.
After 2007, the funny stuff appeared to be over at Summerfest. But Friday, comedy makes a comeback. Fest favorite Black is bringing along comedians John Bowman and Mike Wilmot as part of a special comedy day at the BMO Harris Pavilion. »Read Full Article(8)

Province Releases 2010 Budget Consultation Paper
For Immediate Release
Ministry of Finance
September 15, 2009
VICTORIA – British Columbians are being asked for their views on how the next provincial budget should provide for core services; make B.C. more competitive; and help guide the Province into full economic recovery, Finance Minister Colin Hansen announced today with the release of the 2010 Budget Consultation Paper."British Columbia faces significant economic challenges," said Hansen. "But as the economic recovery begins to take hold, B.C. is poised to build on its many advantages, including hosting the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games."
The 2010 Budget Consultation Paper provides British Columbians with important information concerning B.C.'s progress on building a more competitive tax system, protecting vital services and promoting job growth. It outlines the factors that will shape budget decisions in the months ahead, and it seeks suggestions from British Columbians on the development of Budget 2010.
"Through careful management of taxpayers' dollars, we are dedicated to ensuring that B.C.'s future is one of growth and prosperity," Hansen said. "Toward these goals, we want to hear from British Columbians about their priorities for Budget 2010."
The 2010 Budget Consultation Paper asks British Columbians about what's important to them in developing the budget, including:
• Should government continue to protect core services such as health and education, and if so, how should government increase revenues to pay for these services?
• Should government continue to reduce taxes?
• How should government control deficits during difficult economic times?
Due to budget constraints, unlike previous years the Province will not be mailing the consultation paper to every household. This will save approximately 90 per cent of the cost of printing and distribution and save paper.
The consultation paper is available online, or by contacting the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, which will hold provincewide consultations in September and October to seek the views of British Columbians.
For more information on the 2010 Budget Consultation Paper and how to participate in the budget consultation process, visit http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/budgetconsultation

A Philadelphia School District hearing will begin Monday on the fate of the city's oldest charter school.
Community Academy of Philadelphia opened in 1997, but the School Reform Commission said in January the school's operating charter should not be renewed because of low test scores and financial problems.
The hearing, set to begin at 9 a.m. at the district's administration building, was scheduled after the SRC voted, 4-0, in January to take the first step toward revoking the charter. A second session is expected to be held May 6.

Home invasion mastermind convicted
By MICHAEL BORDELON
VILLE PLATTE -- A man found guilty of masterminding a horrifying home invasion gone awry, and accused of another, faces a three-century maximum sentence.
Charles Edward Grace, 35, 1304 W. Live Oak, Ville Platte was convicted of two counts of armed robbery, two counts of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, aggravated burglary and conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary.
The incident these charges stem from occured March 3, 2009, when Grace planned for Gavin Herbert and Antonio Thomas, his nephew, to invade the home of his ex-girlfriend and steal money from an occupant there.
Herbert testified Grace claimed one of the occupants would have $50,000 in cash inside the house.
Herbert also testified he and Thomas were driven to an abandoned house by Grace to retrieve a sawed-off shotgun. During the drive, Herbert said Grace informed him and Thomas of the "mission."
Prosecutors stated Grace was able to give Herbert and Thomas intimate details of the home and where to locate a pistol in one of the bedrooms because he had stayed there when he was dating the occupant.
Herbert also stated he and Thomas broke into the home located on Hickory Street, retrieved a pistol from one of the bedrooms and waited for the occupants to return.
It was during this time, prosecutors said Thomas made a call to Grace and the two had a heated exchange, allegedly because Thomas found no money inside the house.
The first people to return home were two teenagers. They were tied up with clothing and placed in a bedroom.
Then, several other occupants returned to the home and were taken hostage.
Herbert said he and Thomas made those occupants lie on the floor and sit on the sofa. They took money from each of them.
Eventually, one of the victims, Kininsky Larnette, who supposedly had the $50,000 in cash, said he would take Thomas to his girlfriend's home where he was keeping the money.
Larnette testified he did not have $50,000 but was trying to get Thomas away from the home and his friends. Upon arriving at Larnette's girlfriend's home, Thomas was fatally shot.
Herbert had remained at the home on Hickory Street and fled once police officers arrived. He was arrested soon after.
Prosecutors said Grace masterminded the whole burglary.
Sentencing for Grace is scheduled for May 13, in 13th Judicial District Court Judge John Larry Vidrine's courtroom. Grace faces a maximum of 343 years in prison at hard labor.
Grace is also scheduled for trial in April on charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, armed robbery, criminal damage to property and possession of an unidentifiable firearm in a case involving another home invasion.
