Still no chloramine yet: Panel discusses city waterBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | February 27,2013Rutlands water is still in compliance with federal regulations, and Public Works Commissioner Evan Pilachowski said Tuesday the city needs to convince regulators it will stay that way.
Pilachowski said during a panel discussion on city water that the latest tests had showed a fourth consecutive quarter in compliance after several years during which the city had been over the federal maximum for disinfection byproducts in drinking water.
We need to make the argument that the compliance we have achieved over the last few quarters is due to changes weve made in water treatment, he said Tuesday night at the forum at Rutland Free Library.
Changes in EPA regulations left Rutland with unacceptably high levels of chemicals formed when the chlorine used to disinfect the water reacted with organic compounds in the water. Last year, voters rejected a bond that would have funded a new filter to bring the city into compliance.
That left the city with the option of switching to a different disinfectant chloramine, also referred to as monochloramine. A number of residents have opposed the switch, citing anecdotal reports of negative health effects.
The byproduct levels having come down in the last year. Pilachowski said he cannot be sure whether this was a permanent result of efforts the city took to clean up the water system or a temporary effect of Tropical Storm Irene.
He has said he intends to avoid switching to chloramine if possible, but is putting in place the infrastructure to make the switch in case the levels come back up.
An item on the March ballot asks if voters approve of the switch to chloramine. The vote is nonbinding, and the city charter gives Pilachowski sole authority over the water system. Without the bond, Pilachowski has said, he has no alternative but to use chloramine if the city again falls into violation.
Other panel members Tuesday included local activist Annette Smith, environmental investigator Bob Bowcock, who offered high praise for Rutlands water system and Pilachowskis efforts, and Susan Pickford, founder of the Chloramine Information Center in Pennsylvania. The latter two participated in the talk via an Internet conferencing program.
Pickford recited a litany of horrors regarding chloramine, describing skin burns and respiratory problems people have blamed on the chemicals use in water systems.
She also described how chloramine has damaged pipes and appliances. She said the chemical has been linked to autism, the declining bee population and reduced plant growth she said her best data on the latter phenomenon came from marijuana growers.
Pilachowski pointed out that chloramine has been in use for almost a century and is used in water systems serving 100 million Americans, that systems similar to Rutlands have not had the problems demonstrated in some other locations, and that despite claims that there have been no tests of chloramine, animal testing was unable to identify any health problems with the chemical.

I'm about to sign up for a web hosting plan to use for FTP/HTTP transfers of some pretty big files (500MB - 5+GB). When I tested my friend's account I got a steady 10Mbps. Someone else tested from their house and it jumped all over between 15Mbps but then stayed down at a lowly 1Mbps for a while.
I'd like to log this info somehow to determine if it's a fluke. Anyone know any software (any OS) where I can start a download and measure it's low, high and average speeds? And in the interest in saving bandwidth, it'd be ideal to be able to download for just a few minutes every hour or so for a few days automatically.
Any ideas? Thanks!

a seperate test for vitamin B12 in a number of people diagnosed with early onset altzhiemers has shown them to have a severe deficiancy in this vitamin.

FORT WALTON BEACH — U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller said if the United States does not get its spending under control, the country will not be able to sustain its debt and will collapse financially.
Miller was the guest speaker at Wednesday's lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of Fort Walton Beach. He talked about the challenges in Washington, D.C., and his thoughts on what it will take to turn the country around fiscally.
"If we don't change the spending trajectory and get the debt down … by about 2036 we're going to hit a point where our economy is going to be shaken like it has never been before if we can't get things fixed before then," Miller said.
While there is a perception that Republicans and Democrats cannot agree on anything, Miller said the two sides actually get along 90 percent of the time.
However, the major issues of spending and the Affordable Care Act are cases in which they remain worlds apart.
"We have reached, I think, a point that many of us had hoped that we would never get to, and that is total isolation where you have the left going out the one side and the right going out the other side and nobody wants to come to the middle and try to solve the problems that are out there," Miller said. "We all have ideas and solutions and nobody wants to give to try to solve the problems that exist out there today."
Miller said he knew the government shutdown, the Republicans' attempt to defund President Barack Obama's health care legislation, would fail. He said some of his House colleagues thought the shutdown would force the Democrat-led Senate and Obama to yield.
"We knew, I knew … we were going to vote to do this, the Senate wasn't going to vote and eventually we will reopen the government because there will be enough pressure," Miller said.
He believes House Republicans would have had more leverage on health care if they had tacked it on to discussion about the debt ceiling.

Excellent, no need to buy more sets to stock up.
Now, will they be available to the UK at S@H?

- Christopher R. Smith (Littlehorn) said...
Louise, that's just the tread and sprocket elements...other sets still have that great assortment of extremely useful and needed elements bumping up building possibilities. But, unless you have enough of everything else (which is impossible. really now) this is a very fine pack!
I'm glad that LEGO is listening and making things happen for builders. It's fantastic to have additional part packs to snag.
If the part count is as noted...that may be the single most generous Supplemental pack ever released. What a deal!

Let's be specific here, though - it's LEGO Education that's offering the parts pack and not LEGO Denmark. If I'm wrong, tell me.

- Robotica said...
Jim you are right it is not Shop@home, but LEGO Education (USA) that is offering this set.
The numbers are as posted, and it is a good deal if you want tracks.
curently there are two boxes that have these tracks:
the Snow scooter
the Power Functions BullDozer

Looks like no large sprockets in this pack. Ouch!
So LEGO Ed snagged a quantity and packaged them? The old Pitsco Supplemental packs where packaged in Denmark...I thought. I still have some of the older packs I'll look at tonight.

Until last August, builder Thomas Wheeler, former deli-owner Robert Zlobec and social worker Reggie Whitmire were just a group of hardworking guys who liked to hang out until the idea to fill a niche in Sag Harbor food culture entered their minds.
Last week, the trio re-opened Sag Harbor's new prime meat and seafood shop, the newly re-named East End Prime, at 51 Division Street. Originally East End Prime Quality Meats, which opened in October in a smaller location behind their current Division Street address, Wheeler said the partners hope the store will fulfill the need for a year-round business devoted wholly to providing village residents with prime meats and quality seafood.
"The simple fact is the idea came out of what the price of things are out here," said Wheeler on Tuesday. "We figured if we can offer the same high quality product at a lower price, we would be looking at a good business opportunity."
East End Prime joins a growing number of food-based businesses on Division Street. This year, Michael and Tracey Cavaniola opened Cavinolia's Gourmet Kitchen, a gourmet prepared foods shop, next to their immensely popular Cavaniola's Gourmet Cheese Shop and wine store Cavaniola's Cellar. Featuring a rotating chalkboard list of lunch and dinner items including crabcakes, brisket, fresh fish, macaroni and cheese, a variety salads, paninis and prepared to-go foods like salad nicoise and duck confit, Cavaniola's Gourmet Kitchen made its Sag Harbor debut this summer and is still going strong.
Also new to the Division Street, food landscape is the year-round location of Giuliana Torre's juice bar, organic food store and general health and wellness retreat, The Juicy Naam, which has developed a devout following over the years while at their 27 Race Lane, East Hampton location during the spring and summer.
The Juicy Naam is located directly behind East End Prime at 51 Division Street and will be open Friday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Wheeler said the opening of both the original and now the new East End Prime location has been a learning experience, but one the builder is anxious to delve into as he now finds himself in the midst of a culinary education. In addition to offering prime meats – the highest quality meats, with abundant marbling or fat content and usually reserved for sale at restaurants and hotels – Wheeler said the store will also offer any organic, grass-fed products to order. An abundance of seafood is also for sale, including sushi grade tuna, swordfish, flounder, wild and farmed salmon, little neck and cherry stone clams, shrimp, mussels, oysters and of course, lobster. As with their meat department, Wheeler said any product not on the store shelves is literally a days order away, as the business intends to receive deliveries from their purveyors daily.
"Duck, pheasant, elk, buffalo, bison, venison – we can get everything," said Wheeler.
The store will also offer its own homemade marinades and rubs, as well as other food products. Wheeler said he would love to work with other local businesses to showcase other food vendors in Sag Harbor.
Wheeler said it is his hope to have the store's website, eastendprime.com, up in running in the next few weeks. In addition to offering information on what is available at the store, Wheeler said the website will also offer patrons the ability to place orders online.
"The customers' will dictate the pace of our store," said Wheeler. "Bottom line, we are here for them."
East End Prime is located at 51 Division Street in Sag Harbor and is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. For more information, call 725-6328.

11. Installation of Flooring with visible defects. This Warranty extends to the buyer and to the owner of the first structure in which the Flooring is installed during the Warranty Period.

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIODS FOR THE CORRESPONDING EXPRESS WARRANTIES, ABOVE.

Is there an athlete out there who does more commercials than Peyton Manning? I really don't think there is. From Oreos to Gatorade to Buick, Manning is front and center in the world of athlete endorsements. We decided to compile the "Top 10" Manning commercials.

at least you knew where the hell he came from....I couldn't even get to that
I really like obscure MOTU characters, Preternia and still I don´t understand this figure. Im so shocked, that I want to talk about him...
- One of the best part of his mini-comic appareance was the riding of Bionatops. How can this figure ride Bionatops with that LONG skirt??? hope it can be removable, but I don´t believe it...
- Why a Cosmic Key is included??? He traveled to Preternia with the Sorceress. No Cosmic Key appear in that comic. I only hope that Keldor and Kronis steal that Cosmic Key in order to travel to the past...

I think the figure is awesome! I would never have thought we'd get him... but man it's a lot of fun! The Cosmic Key is an awesome bonus for him.

This character was a wish for me. I'm really happy with him. Any preternia figures are welcomed. I'm not in anyway a fan of variants but I really wanted this figure made. I guess he looks like a super hero. I just really a, happy will are getting him. Now where's Eldor.
It's your place for Freedom of Speach for everything MOTU, POP, TMNT, , Horror, Wrestling, DC and Batman, and all other properties that are cool.

My feedback threadhttp://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...or-Brian-Ozone
Yawn!!! Sorry, but I hope this line doesn't become a "let's see how many He-man variants we can squeeze in one subscription year". I thought that the subscription figure was going to be a different character. He looks like he is wearing a dress. So far we have original He-man, 2-pack He-man, Battle Armour, Wun-dar, Adam, King Grayskull, Pre-D He-man, Faker, Vikor. These are all essentially the same character just different incarnations of him. I would have rather gotten Gwildor.
Maybe I'll change my mind when I get him, but for now he was a let down for me.
Let's face it : it is great to have one more Preternia/Powers of Grayskull figure.
But let's also face the fact that Mattel chose the easy way when they chose Preternia He-Man as the 2011 exclusive figure. One more He-Man variant ! Personally, I would have prefered, BY FAR, Eldor. Or even Gray.
But Preternia He-Man it will be...
Now, what about the figure itself ? While original (we never got that specific figure before), the aesthetic part is not overwhelming, in my opinion. In other words, Preternia He-Man isn't very attractive. Plus, the long tunic, although it seems to be split on the side, might hinder legs movements.
The thing that got me REALLY puzzled is that Preternia He-Man ACTUALLY HAS GWILDOR'S COSMIC KEY ?!?
I guess we now know how Gwildor was trademarked : his name probably appears somewhere in Preternia He-Man's bio !
I'm a bit anxious about what will happen when/if Gwildor is released : if he doesn't have his cosmic key (which is is main possession), what other items or weapons will he have ?
It's He-Man in a dress.
Sorry, but I just can't take this figure seriously.
In the name of the Lloyd!
I thought he was an Eternian peasant cat-burglar and they threw in the cosmic key to help sell him (to me anyway).
I hope he isn't the Sub fig. I'm really gonna need that cosmic key loose and I don't think I'll need a masked he man off card.
Tweet Me!
I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
I think He-man And Eldor are the same.
Plus weren't there 2 keys in the movie? Its why Gwildor had to get his backup to take He-Man out of Eternia
Also who is to say Gwildor could not have loaned the key to Adam, that way he does not give it up and its no different then The Goddess having the same weapons/armor with her that He-Man wears on his figure
I just do not understand the idea that a Cosmic Key with the Exclusive Sub Figure = No Gwildor or No Key for Gwildor

I love this guy. We're also getting the giant gun thing attached to Bionatops with him, apparently.
I like it, great choice, though it is another He-Man
You know, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but do you guys think Bionatops could possibly share some parts with that Parek-Narr creature mentioned in Battle Cat's bio and shown in the MYP series?
I think he's a very lame choice of a character...
They could have chosen Vikor (Which is an awesome looking figure BTW) in his place, and gave us another well known core character for February like Man-E-Faces or something IMO... Another Boo for Matty/Toyguru...
Epic Metal music rocks the universe.
I started a thread asking for him a long while back, so of course I'm happy!
I wish his skirt was a LOT shorter though, like when riding Bionotops. It would be an obvious re-use for Eldor:
I'm also a bit confused why th Cosmic Key doesn't look like the movie one, as they had this prototype:
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
I guess for tooling's sake this was made. I was expecting more.....especially for the Club Eternia Special Figure!
What's the next Club Figure? Spin-Blade He-Man? Just total let down by this one.
I was expecting for Mattel to do better after Wun-Dar (which was good thinking given he's just a repaint with Zodac armor).

My trader review:
Wun-Dar motivated me to get the 2010 subscription. Preternian disguise He-Man has motivated me to skip the 2011 subscription. I'm not complaining. I'm actually relieved. I was already thinking about skipping on the 2011 sub and this exclusive solidified that decision.
Dear Mijet,
Thank you for posting the excerpts from the mini-comic above... I had totally forgotten about the use of the cosmic key in that particular comic related to Preternia !
It explains and justifies the use of a cosmic key with Preternia He-Man.
So I guess Gwildor will come with a second, slightly different cosmic key ?
I definitely want Preternia disguise He-Man...ever since I saw him in the mini comic. However, I do not want to commit to a subscription...eBay here I come...well here I come in about 8-10 months when I can get him for a reasonable price.
Matty needs to do pre-orders !!

If the final position of the kayak is where they fell into the water it is very far from where the fisherman fish.

As an avid Kayak Fisherman, I'm thinking a siezure, massive heart attack, blown embolism, or similar, turtled the yak, kid helpless, water swallowed, hypothermia, shock. It doesn't take long for bad things to happen, especially in the Winter.
It's small consolation that when our maker calls us in this way, it's better on yak on a lake than oncoming traffic at rush hour in behind the wheel 18-wheeler. Hey, it happens everyday somewhere. Sounds like the kid was physically helpless to render aid and that really stinks.
Regarding PFDs, the ONLY PFD that would have any sure chance of saving him if unconscious, or anyone else if unconcious, is a USCG Approved Type I vest. It's the only one that will turn you face up and keep your nose and mouth out of the water without intervention. The problem is that few wear them or even own them which is a shame. The Type I vest won't keep you warm while unconscious in frigid water, but at least it prevents you trying to breath water. If you own a PFD, try it. If you own one of those skinny little Class IV auto inflating CO2 "straps" good luck with that if you sieze or convulse and flip yourself into the water. They help with treading water, but that's about it from a practical standpoint. It's easy to burn a bottle of gas and try it out. You should anyway just so you understand how it works and its limitations. Seriously.
Sadly, too, most kayakers never even bother to practice re-entering their yak after turtling or inverting their boat in various conditions. It is a learned skill that is easily acquired and practiced. One among us in the kayak fishing comunity is a 77 year old lady who practices reentering her yak regularly without assistance. It took her awhile to learn the right technique for her physique, but she learned it.
We are very fortunate to have some of the best paddling safety instructors in the country here. If you kayak, you should seek out this training, it only takes a partial day or two. You should do it for your loved ones, and your friends, if not yourself.

I was a lifeguard and water safety instructor for a number of years (let the certification pass, but that's what happens when you get old) and managed three actual lifesaving situations. One was the active sort and I used a flotation device between me and the somewhat-crazed swimmer (who may or may not have been in actual trouble, but you have to treat it as such). The other two were blue, placid and in imminent danger of drowning without assisstance. In both situations there were others around and closer to the victims than me, but because they displayed no obvious signs of alarm, went unnoticed.
My advice, always wear pfds when on the water, especially if you are an inexperienced swimmer, and always have an emergency plan.

I wear a type V on super calm hot days fishin the flats in 2ft deep, 87F, water for miles around me in my yak but only if I'm fishing with another (my BFF) and I always have a throwable Type I at hand tethered to yak.
When I'm offshore in YAK, I use TYPE I, same in Bays, marshes, lakes and or paddling alone or away from others...Type I, until I beach the yak and am on Terra Firma. One more thing, anytime near any kind of a Pass or periods of strong tidal movement or in inclement weather...Type I
It's super common to flip your kayak. It happens to even the most experienced paddlers eventually. If it hasn't happen to u yet, just wait, your time is a coming
WHEN that time comes, perhaps when you least expect it, in your single or double seater, you'll calmly right the boat, and gather your tethered stuff, curse a little for untethered stuff now likely lost, then hop back in the Yak (cuz u practiced this under these very paddling conditions I.e.,4ft swells in 26ft depth near High Island, etc.
Sorry about soapbox on this topic my friends. I don't want to lose any more friends to an easily preventable cause.

I have to admit I didn't know anything about PFD's when I bought my kayak. I just bought one that looked comfortable, was rated for my weight and was... uh... slightly stylish. I had to go check just now and it is a Type 3 and is actually a ski vest. It's also awfully hot in the summertime. I think I'll go shop for a quality Type 1 vest.

I love fly fishing rivers, streams, and creeks in the Rockies. Some rivers, like the Arkansas River near Buena Vista CO is pretty big water with class IV rapids making it popular w tubers and "REAL KAYAKERS" you know, the Olympic sit inside guys wearing helmets and stuff. Its big water. 1000-1200 cfs which means if you slip and fall in while wading then you're going for a ride! This is made all the more difficult in waders, vest full of stuff, and your grandpa's irreplaceable Tonkin cane rod and Able reel. I've taken the toss a few times. It's kinda scary as you try to keep feet down current and avoid large stones etc. eventually you come to a bend and you can usually grab something and work your way to the bank or some shoals and regroup. If you're not wearing a belt tight above your waist, your waders fill almost instantaneously when u fall and all bets are off. It seems at least once every season some wading fisherman dies on a co stream or river and they almost never have a belt on.

3,300-Year-Old Jade Tool Raises Origin Questions
by AMNH on
The discovery of a small jade tool that was dropped into the waters off an island in the Southwest Pacific about 3,300 years ago is stirring up questions about its origin. The reason for puzzlement: the small green artifact has a chemical composition that is unlike any other described jade, and it was found thousands of miles away from the nearest known geological source.
An international team of archaeologists and geologists from the American Museum of Natural History, the University of Otago (New Zealand), and the University of Papua New Guinea investigate this unusual specimen in a special issue of the European Journal of Mineralogy on jadeitite, the rock that defines one type of jade.
Feb. SciCafe: Mapping Global Pathogens

I was reading a similar thread elsewhere and thought a few on here would have interesting opinions on this.
Which books is it impossible to adapt for film. Some examples according to some are Catcher in the Rye, Ulysses (a rubbish irish novel ) and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep ( Bladerunner while being brilliant doesn't count as its based on something completely different )
Any other additions or opinions .
Any films which have been adapted but shouldn't have been ( Watchmen would be one for me)

That seems to directly contradict their policy though. Here's the relevant bit again as it was stripped out of your post:
Now I'm assuming that downloads refers to P2P downloads - maybe that's an incorrect assumption - but that's the way their throttling worked up until recently when they changed the wording of the policy. For example, the old policy included an example where P2P traffic would be throttled but iPlayer would be unaffected.
As I said earlier, it's a real shame that they made their policy less clear
Anyway, in practice I find that this is less of an issue than it appears to be when you read the policy.
Downloads = downstream bandwidth. Uploads = upstream bandwidth.

I jumped straight from IE8 to IE10. There are some things I like and some I don't. The only real sticking point is the yellow notification bar down by the bottom. If I ever try and download something at the same time as a pop-up is blocked or something wants to use Flash Player, I can no longer see the download. This gets freakin' tedious. Ideally, the download would just pop up IE8 style but I don't think anyone does plugins or hacks for IE anymore.
I tried Chrome and wanted to kill myself. There are some things I really love and some basic stuff that makes me feel like I'm back in the early days of IE/AOL. No permanent zoom? Autocomplete everything. No option or even a plugin to delete browsing history upon exit.
Firefox and Opera don't appeal to me. I've tried both and while I like Firefox to an extent, it always seems to crash every few minutes on my desktop and laptop computer (XP and 8, respectively).
Can anyone recommend the best one for me or atleast solutions to my problems with Chrome/IE? Thank you

Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by janine Love these! I agree with the others that they are cheeky- but i went up a size so they would hang a little lower. I also wear tights with them when its cold and plan to wear lace bike shorts when its warmer. I have the beaded indigo and they're beautiful - you won't be disappointed! 2.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by regularari Super cute!! ...but cheeky I got the one and only beaded indigo shorts left on the sale rack. They were a size 25 and after trying them on, they grew on me. I tried them on and just had to purchase them (as one of the reviews had warned about). And like someone else said, these pictures don't do them justice! Absolutely love the beading! The only problem is how cheeky they are and they're a bit snug since I'm 5'7 and around 120 lbs. But I just couldn't say no... too cute! I'm just waiting for my FP printed lace bike shorts to come in (in hopes that it'll solve the problem). Get them now while you can! :) 2.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sandiva gorgeous shorts I saw these in the store during christmas time. The sales person there was wearing the indigo beaded color with tights and a ski sweater and the combo looked fabulous. I didn't buy then but went back today and they only had one pair left; luckily my size! I am a size 4 pant, with a 26" waist and usually would take the 27's. However, I like my shorts to hang on the upper hip and not on the waist so I went up to a 28". They do not at all look sloppy but I think classier. The pic they show online does not at all do justice to the beautiful beading detail on the sides of the legs. These sold so very fast in the store. If you are even slightly interested I would order a pair before they are all gone. The indigo-beaded is the one that seems to be selling out the fastest. I am so excited to wear such an exquisite pair of shorts! 1.11.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by gmcal very poor planning I was really excited about these shorts and loved the way they looked and fit. However, I had hoped that for the price the rhinestones would be well secured and wouldn't immediately fall off. I got these shorts in black and wore them only once before they lost a rhinestone. Some of the gems are sewn on but the larger ones are secured only with metal clasps, not even glued in and the shorts don't come with any replacements. I'm truly disappointed and wish I hadn't wasted my time and money. 1.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by freelily Good fit, but a little short. If you order these shorts true to your waist size I think they run a little short (if your average height or taller - I am 5'8). I tried on the 27 in store and they were too big but a good length. I ordered the 26 and they fit nicely but they are pretty short, almost like booty shorts. I ordered the denim with side embelishments. I love the the beaded embelishment on the sides so I will keep the shorts and maybe wear them with tights for a more "modest" look. 12.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Austinite Great for summer or winter! I tried on my normal size and they fit perfect. However, I didn't want them to be too tight so I sized up. I wanted a more loose fit because I want to wear them lower on the hips. Not to mention, my cheeks were almost hanging out of my usual shorts. I actually sized up two sizes and that worked best for me. I purchased the blue indigo and absolutely love the crochet and beading detail. I plan to wear these with tights or leggings in the winter and alone in the summer. Must have item! 12.11.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by SandyGee Disappointed I sized up from a 27 to a 28 based on the other reviews and they were still a bit snug. They are very short and more high-waisted than they appear on the model. The crochet work on the white pair is really nice, but they aren't actually white. They are more of a cross between light gray and beige. Cute shorts, but just not what I was hoping for. 11.29.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FPVeronica Very cheeky I agree that the shorts are adorable but for all my big booty ladies, DEFINITELY try these on before! I had to go up a full size and I am debating ordering another size up because my cheekies were hanging out in the size I normally wear. I am 5'2" about 115 and I got a 26 in the denim wash. 11.16.2012
