Gear Question
If i am 5'2 120 lbs. and 10 boot what size...
If i am 5'2 120 lbs. and 10 boot what size freeride board should i ride?
Wooden Robots
Freeride specific? Then take a look at the Supermodel 155 or the Guru 156. You don't weight that much, but your feet are the biggest issue. If you run a smaller board you'll have to deal with toe and heel drag. But if you plan on only ridding powder, then the bigger board won't be a problem. Check those out. If you're not down with them, then the custom is a great all around deck.

'Jersey Shore' Roommates Ronnie & Sammi Back Together in Florence (PHOTOS)
They just can't quit each other. After watching the tumultuous season three of Jersey Shore where Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro fought constantly, it looks like the romantic city of Florence, Italy has brought them back together again.
The two were snapped holding hands strolling down the cobble stoned streets, and even stopped off for a meal at pizzeria and wine bar Vincanto. Ronnie and Sammi were smiling and hugging up on one another which is very different than how they left things last season.
Following the second season of the Jersey Shore where it was revealed (on camera) that Ronnie had cheated on Sammi, the two decided to tough it out and stay together ... but that didn't last long. Things got ugly and a little violent when alcohol and parties came into the picture. It got so bad that Sammi left the show for a few episodes. She later returned and they attempted to rekindle their romance but broke up again when a man from Sammi's past came into the picture.
What do you think about this couple? Will they stay together this time? Get in on the conversation @celebuzz and leave us some comments below.
While Sammi and Ronnie are having a date night, the other castmmates are having some fun of their own. Click the pics below to see the cast partying it up in Italy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MarTer Close call
If you're looking for a very comfortable bed AND being close to everything, the Sheraton is the choice. We were in town for the Marathon and had only a few blocks to walk. Afterwards,shopping and dining were also "just around the corner." Our future events in Indy will all be spent here.

Rated 4 out of 5 by patricia1 surprising - Great Sheraton
downtown Indianapolis. A bit noisy in the room on the weekends (many activities downtown the weekend of the 14-16th, June), but the room was very comfortable. The bed was great - soft and cushy, great pillows and sheets.

Bath facilities were poor. Toilet did not flush properly, faucet was loose and could be removed. Light was not covered.
Internet added was a pain. Most establishments now include this. Parking is another add-on that needs to be considered. Parking garage was difficult to negotiate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa87 Nice hotel, great customer service
Room was clean and comfortable. Appreciated the upgrade to club floor as a Starwood Preferred Guest; breakfast every day was very valuable as I had early meetings to get to and never want much to eat anyway, so something quick is perfect. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Rated 4 out of 5 by vjpeete Sheraton Indianapolis
I have stayed in this facility a couple of times and am never disappointed in the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. This facility is centrally located to many attractions and within walking distance of shopping and eating establishments.
It is a disappoinment that the pool is outdoor and not usable year around. The fitness center is very small with limited equipment. But at least I can get in some cardio on the treadmill.
In a facility of this caliber it is a GREAT disappointment that a complimentary breakfast is not included for all guests- unless you are a "Platinum" member - then your options are to pay the overpriced rates for room service or in the lobby cafe. When i'm already paying to park and a premium price for the room due to it's location - a banana, boiled egg and some yogurt isn't too much to ask.
Since I am told to stay in this hotel by my corporation, this is where I stay - but the items mentioned above would cause me to choose another facility if I were paying out of my own pocket.

I can't say enough good things about our stay here! The staff was wonderful! We asked to see if we could change our room to be able to see the monument, and they were more than accomodating. We also were upgraded to the club floor as SPG members, and that was terrific!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Dink pretty good stay with one exception
Overall I would recommend this hotel except for the tempature of our room. We were extremely hot the whole night. Could not adjust the tempature of the room. I had seen this in other reviews and they were correct. I would probably not stay there again because of this.

The conference room was way to hot on Monday and then freezing cold on Tuesday.
The conference restrooms only had ice cold water to wash our hands with!
The meal was so slow getting out during the meeting that everyone ate the cheese cake before the meal came.

Our door was difficult to open as the safety latch got in the way. The toilet lid and seat would not stay up for the men using the toilet as they hit the edge of the bathroom counter. Tricky for young son to maneuver at night and overall irritating for adult.

My room was ok, there were knats in it, the phone on the desk did not work, the handle on the sink kept coming off. They had the nerve to want $50.00 a night for a mini fridge. The bed was a little hard. Staff was nice for the most part, rooms were clean.

Besides the parking garage being a little convoluted in it's design, this is an excellent, hotel with excellent service and good food. The main waiter that serves breakfast should be commended. He and the bartender at night are very good at what they do.

This hotel is located right in the center of Indy. You can walk to just about everything Indy has to offer. The rooms were very clean and the staff here are exceptional. The only draw back is that the pool is outdoor and only open in the summer season.

Pilgrims are taught Ignatian Contemplation (in the tradition of the Spiritual Exercises as St. Ignatius of Loyola gave) and the Lectio Divina (spiritual reading).
Way back in the 16th century, St. Ignatius journeyed with pilgrims/retreatants who came to him every day, shared about their prayer experiences, and St. Ignatius would give them another bible text to pray for the following day.
In a Week of Guided Prayer, pilgrims will be given a Scripture passage to pray with each day before meeting the prayer guide.

I've had this Echeveria for a number of years without a name. Recently, I was told it was E. 'Barbillion'. So is it Barbillion or possibly E. 'Paul Bunyon' or another hybrid? The head is several inches across. For some reason, despite plenty of sun, it didn't flower this year as it has in the past. It has a typical "Echeveria" orange-red candy corn flower. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by paracelsus 9b: SF peninsula (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 16:57
You either love this plant, or hate it. It is Echeveria 'Etna', named for the volcano. It is a hybrid of Dick Wrights 'Mauna Loa' created by Denise Manly. 'Paul Bunyon' and 'Barbillon' are related plants, but have different color schemes and leaf characteristics. All of these derive from Echeveria gibbiflora, which is the name most commonly used for many of the big Echeverias. Like many Echeveria, appearance is variable depending on the time of year and the amount of light. More light seems to produce more heavily carunculated leaves. The thread linked below shows my plants at this time of year, and has some good posts on the origin of this plant. The photos below demonstrate how variable are the colors of this plant: December: February: March: May: Etna is one of my most prized plants. It's a glorious riot of color! Brad |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mt. Etna Erupts!
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 17:45
As always, Brad, your photos of 'Etna' are MARVELOUS! I think Bikerdoc's plant may be 'Barbillion', though. According to Schulz/Kapitany's book, Echeveria Cultivars, 'Barbillion' is: A Dick Wright hybrid. Solitary, reaching up to 400 mm in diameter and elongating slowing with age on a bare stem. Similar to 'Paul Bunyan' when young, but much larger growing. Leaf endings becoming frilly. Seasonal colors prominent. Does this ring true for you? Do you have pix of your plant at other times of the year? |
Quite astounding, what ever it might be. That's for sharing the photos. I've seen many different hybrids of that type that are very similar. (But all gorgeous.) |
- Posted by bikerdoc5968 6 SE MI (My Page) on Wed, Oct 19, 11 at 19:04
Brad and Rose, Thanks. Unfortunately, as with any hybrid sometimes the exact name may never be known. It is heart-warming to know I'm at least in the ballpark..... |
Astoundingly beautiful, really. :) |

Yah know I was just sitting here enjoying a little alone time (something I don't get very often) And was thinking about my store and other LHBS stores around the nation. I am ALWAYS trying to make my store better for my customers both in house and online and I was wondering what exactly it is you totally LOVE about your LHBS? My store is fairly new and of course it can be improved upon for sure. If you could say 1 thing, taking customer service out of it because we always try and make that #1, but other than that is there a product or a procedure or anything really that your LHBS does or has in stock, that can help me make my place better for you and for my in house customers? I think this thread will help you as the customers and all of us LHBS owners alike. We can all learn a few things here and gain from the input. Cheers Jay
The guys that work there are awesome. Always friendly (usually hungover) and helpful. If they don't have what I need in the store, they'll order it special for me. They trade me my backyard hops for free grain. Oh, and I get a 10% discount just because.
probably brew with them I've never thought to ask, really.
They have this big fancy mill and scale and will weigh out the *exact* amount, exactly. It's kind of their thing. They have this scale and they want you to know they can weigh stuff, exactly. You want a pound? How about 1.07 pounds? We can weight that. They have all sorts of grains and hops and yeasts. Even when I know what I want, I still look around to see what they have. Whole leaf hops. I'm hooked on that now, and I'm not even a hop head. Every part and every piece of every part. Need a lid with a grommet? They have it. Just need the grommet? They have it. And you wanna make some weird stuff with snowberries and the wings of a moth? It's like an apothecary in there. No spelt though. But if you wanna brew with oats, holy cow, what kind of oats? The other one I go to is really a home brew corner in a general store. They have a homemade mill and you're pretty much on your own. I like that place because it's in and out and still has everything I need. I'm not picky. Sell me what I need at a decent price and I'm on my way.
I've always loved the invaluable professional advice, they take time to talk to you and tell you what you need instead of selling you crap that you don't. Now they have their license for brewing and now brew and serve there own beer, you can drink a pint while shopping!
Cheers, Mel @melt616
Thanks for this thread Jaybird, as a new LHBS owner i am definitely interested in what i can do to keep customers coming back, my goal thus far has been to make it a place where I would like to shop, but there is always more to learn and do to keep customers happy with their experience.

for me, one's an hour away (we'll cal A) and the other is 45 minutes away (we'll call B). A has 50 & 55 pound sacks of base malt, but a poor yeast selection. they have a fair amount of gear/equipment, but poor specialty malt selection. they are geared more toward wine and know little about beer. B has a poor equipment selection, but they have a great malt selection & decent yeast selection. they will also sell you any grain they have in 50-55 pound sack if you want. they have nothing for wine. another plus for B is that they are a brewery with a tap room. but my favorite LHBS was in Wyoming. whatever you wanted, they would get it for you. they were very laid back, held demonstrations, and would always want to trade home brews with any customer that was willing. they weren't very knowledgeable when they first opened their doors, but learned quite a lot in a very short time and would give solid advice on what they knew and ask about what they didn't. I miss Pour Brothers.
There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?

Neighbors not overjoyed with new Valparaiso subdivision plan
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent August 20, 2014 4:04PM
Pine Creek Road in Pine Creek Estates subdivision dead ends on the north, looking over where a detention pond will go between existing homes and a business park complex. | James D. Wolf Jr.~for Sun-Times Media

VALPARAISO — City officials touted last week's groundbreaking for The Lakes of Valparaiso as good for the future, but neighbors think otherwise.
SBJZ Holdings made concessions because they presented plans in 2011 for the luxury apartments and business park, but many residents feel the rezoning of the 146.3 acres from single-family changed the area they moved into.
When the process began at the Planning Commission and City Council, about 250 residents overflowed council chambers and spilled out City Hall's doors.
"They listened to us and went in a completely different direction," said Jonathan Bull, a resident of Pine Creek Estates between Indiana 49 and Lakes of Valparaiso.
Larry Hays, also of Pine Creek, said, "I don't think residents had any say in this whatsoever."
He doesn't like that at the groundbreaking Mayor Jon Costas said Don Weiss, the principal of SBJZ Holdings, has been his friend since they were kids in Gary.
Many of the neighbors posted "Costas cost us" lawn signs, Hays said.
Karen Molnar, who moved to the area in 2005, said a business park and apartments would have impact.
"I grew up like that (in Gary). That's why I was so against it," she said. "I was looking for something better for my kids."
The southern 55.5 acres of Lakes of Valparaiso will have of luxury apartments off Evans Avenue, and the business park off Vale Park Road will have 71.74 buildable acres in the commercial park.
In January, SJBZ attorney Todd Leeth said among concessions were that Pine Creek and Nick roads wouldn't connect to Lakes, so its traffic wouldn't enter Pine Creek.
The southern 55 acres of business park had gone from 37 to 29 lots to preserve older trees, and the 10-25 foot buffer with five-foot high dirt berms that would likely kill trees, so SJBZ would have a 40 foot wide buffer and fill gaps in the existing tree line.
"It'll be interesting to see if they fill them all," Hays said about the 408 planned apartments, citing neighbors' research that Valparaiso is approaching 50 percent rentals.
Residents also said traffic concerns were not addressed.
The major streets need widening, and there are no sidewalks along the roads, said Bull, who has a daughter.
Although Lakes doesn't connect to Pine Creek, kids are still out playing, he said.
He and Molnar said that when a train goes on the Canadian Railroad tracks, traffic will back up to Vale Park Road, and getting to the shopping centers about a mile away can take more than 10 minutes.
"The roads are just not built for it," Bull said.
Sheila Johnsen, who moved into Pine Creek in July 2013 after her Realtor said the surrounding land was agricultural and had development plans, said she's already being woken by workers and that the land value decreased on her property tax bill.
Johnsen and Molnar said people have been moving, and other homes have "for sale" signs.
Tony Hreha, who held neighborhood meetings about the rezoning in his home, declined to comment on why he moved.

Ridiculous. Ok so if someone can explain something to me really fast it would be greatly appreciated. Now i have been playing lol for about 3 months now, and from my understanding when you get into champion select you call your lane and whoever calls it first gets it first. Right or Wrong? Its really ****ing annoying when i get into a game, people call their lanes and some troll refuses to change their champion and take the position that hasn't been called yet. I mean for the sake of the team comp it would make sense to bend the knee and just change right? Instead we are forced to make 1 of 2 choices 1. Play the game with a ****ty comp and someone with a ****ty attitude or 2. Leave the game before the timer is up. Now the problem with 2 is that we get punished for not wanting to play a game with this aforementioned troll with a 5 min timer. Now im not saying to ban these players because honestly I that would be unfair, but you need to stop punishing people for not wanting to deal with a troll right from the start.
Great Pyrenees
Hi friend I love Iced tea! Wrong, according to Riot you can call lanes. However if a person ahead of you selects your lane/role then as a good team member you should fill the necessary role. I know this is not ideal but it will save you a lot of headaches. After all a lot of people really hate calling roles. We should respect everyones feelings right? Also I reccomend finding 1 champ for each role that you really love this way you are not inconvenienced. Heck I love it everytime I must break out my jungle soraka =)
Lets say we have a jungle and a solo top lane selected already. The trolls I am referring to will for example say. "I don't give a ***k im going top." when clearly a middle or bottom lane champ is needed. My question is why are we forced to deal with people like this or be punished for not wanting to deal with them?
DUDE stop ****ing crying about whether you get the lane you want or not, if your not willing to put up with the team your given the you have no business in this League of Legends community get your sht and get off my game you fauking troll. btw i want mid lane b1tch
Also i guess i was wrong about the calling thing, i have just seen it done like that most of the time and i assumed it worked that way.
You know the answer to that. I personally have been on a team forming 10 different times its really frustraiting because of all the dodges. There should be a penalty for dodging. I am just glad it is not a ELO penalty =)

Over the past year, Xcel Energy, Dairyland Power Cooperative, and WPPI Energy have spent $1.6 million buying 75 percent of the easements needed in Buffalo and Trempealeau counties. Millions more will go to appraisers, land agents, attorneys, and to signing bonuses for landowners. When all the dust settles, the power companies expect to spend a full $10 million on right of way expenses from Alma to Holmen.
For new homeowners Dustin and Sara who asked that their real names be withheld because they are still negotiating with the power companies the project and other circumstances have turned their dream starter house into a nightmare.
Dustin and Sara said the seller of their home never disclosed the power lines would run through their front yard, just over 100 feet from their house. According to the couple, in the months that followed, the seller did not forward mailings intended for the current homeowners, either. Half a year later, Dustin saw a map of the power line route in the newspaper. "Wow, that's pretty close to my house. I'd better look into this," he remembered thinking. A few phone calls later, he found out the over 100-foot-tall power lines would run through his yard.
"I don't think we really slept that night; we just kind of stayed up wondering, 'How in the heck did we not know about this?'" Dustin said. "We had this weird, sick feeling in our stomach."
Dustin and Sara were not comfortable with the new line. A smaller power line currently runs through the property, but that was already testing their tolerance for electrical infrastructure. The new line will tower over their house and carry twice the voltage. For a couple that has some concerns about the disputed health risks of electrical lines, "It just doesn't sit well with us at all," Dustin said. They plan to move.
Getting fairly compensated is a concern, too. The power companies are required to compensate landowners not only for the narrow easement itself, but also the loss of value to the remaining property in Dustin and Sara's case, their house. However, Dustin and Sara believe their house will be devalued far more than the power companies' appraisal estimated. Since they just bought the house without knowledge of the new lines, and plan to sell to it now, the loss of value is not an abstract concept.
"It's really cut and dried," Dustin said of working with the power companies' representatives. "Individual concerns and individual cases like ours are kind of thrown out the window. We're just lumped together with everybody else," he said.
Dustin and Sara do have an opportunity to hire their own appraiser and the power companies told them they will provide a "middle ground" offer between the two appraisals or refuse to sell and force the power companies to take them to court, where court-appointed commissioners would determine a fair value. Dustin and Sara are also considering legal action against the seller, but a legal victory would not necessarily give them financial satisfaction.
Dustin and Sara have been weighing and reweighing their options for months. "You just forget about it some days, and then there's one day where you're remember, 'I still have to get all this figured out,' and you feel the weight of it again," he explained. "Hopefully we can find the most positive solution that benefits everybody."
El Maro Vineyard owners Mark and Lynita Delaney and the owners of four other Trempealeau County properties declined the power companies' offers and will argue their case for greater compensation in court. Mark Delaney explained that the power companies are supposed to compensate landowners for the best possible use of the land being claimed. For a winery, that mean vineyards. The land being claimed is not currently used for growing grapes, but could be if it were not being taken the best possible use. Good vineyards with established grapes and trellises can be worth $60,000 an acre, he said. The power companies "did not appraise it as a vineyard," Delaney said. They offered him $2,000 an acre for one section. "I don't think he did much research," Delaney said of the power companies' land agent. Delany described it as a cookie cutter approach. "It's not stressful as much as frustrating," he said. "I know that they've offered people more money than their first offer and they did not do that with us." So, the Delaneys have hired a lawyer. Still, Mark Delaney was thankful that the power companies opted to route the lines on the back side of the winery, rather than directly in front of the villa-style building's vista of the river valley, as was once considered. Events and aesthetics are a big part of the winery business. "If it were in front, it would destroy the business," he said.
Not all of the landowners affected by the project are displeased. The power companies' representatives "were really good," said David Bork, who sold an easement for a half acre of farmland on his rural Fountain City property. "They were straightforward about what they were telling us. We've never had a problem." He was satisfied with the price he was given and said he did not see the point in fighting the project. "What are you going to do? If you didn't give them the right-of-way, they'd condemn it and then you're out of luck anyway so take what they're offering you, and be happy with it." He did hope that any stray voltage would not increase with installation of higher voltage lines, but felt that "down the road, for generations, this [project] is supposed to help people."
"Personally we haven't had any problems," said John Losinski, who sold an easement for nearly 13 acres of farmland and woods on his property in the Town of Milton. "We already had an easement there, so it just expanded it a little bit," he said, describing the power lines that already cross his property. He said he got a fair deal and that the project representatives were "attuned to what the land value actually was." He noted that the payment the farm's former owner received for the original power line easement "was almost nothing. These people were a lot more generous."
Losinski commented, "It's kind of a necessary evil to have electrical lines around the country. A lot of people are dead set against it; I was kind of on the fence for a while. But when it comes right down to it, because it has minimal impact on me I don't see any reason to oppose it."
CapX2020 and Xcel Energy spokesman Timothy Carlsgaard said that the power companies work extensively with landowners to negotiate fair values. "It's a long process but I think a fair process," he said. "In some cases the landowners simply don't want a line on their property
so it's going to end up in condemnation regardless of what you offer," he added.
The negotiation process produces fair prices, said Xcel right of way engineer Tim Lisson. When landowners force the power companies to use eminent domain, "the only people who typically win in Wisconsin are the appraisers and the lawyers," he said.
CapX2020 leaders hope to finish the Mississippi River crossing early next year and the Alma to Holmen section by late 2015.

Shawn Blanc's latest post about [wear and tear on the iPhone 5](http://shawnblanc.net/2012/10/iphone-5/) really strikes a chord with me. I don't have a brand-spanking new iPhone — my 4S is a little over a year old now — but I do care about keeping my gadgets in great condition. I regularly clean my iPhone and I take great care not to drop it, or place it on surfaces where it could somehow make its way towards the floor. Unlike Shawn, I actually enjoy using cases, but more for the added grip and style than for protection.
All that being said, I do have a few scratches on my screen, and a few on the back, simply due to normal wear and tear. These little nicks used to kill me inside, but they no longer bother me. As long as my iPhone is functional enough, those cosmetic scratches don't really register any more, and I find I'm simply using my gadgetry more; less worrying and more enjoying has been working out well for me.
