This work will take place within the existing utility right-of-way corridor in the cities of Chino and Chino Hills between the west end of Eucalyptus Avenue and the Chino Valley Freeway (71).
Eastern Transition Station
Demolition work at the eastern transition station, located between Pipeline Avenue and the Chino Valley Fwy (71) is underway. There will be periods of night work at this location in order to reduce construction noise impacts to the Montessori School of Chino Hills.
Please Note: Schedule is tentative and may change depending on weather and other factors.
A water truck will be on the utility right-of-way to help control fugitive dust. If at any time you have concerns, please give us a call.
Tips for Minimizing Construction Impacts
SCE is committed to minimizing any inconvenience and ensuring public safety during this work. In addition to SCE efforts to minimize the impacts to residents and businesses during construction, here are some simple tips that may help you reduce construction disturbance:
- Close all windows and doors facing the construction area in order to reduce noise and dust
- Watch for information updates in the form of mailers, door hangers, etc. to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about construction activities taking place in your area.
- Cover items such as vehicles and swimming pools
Constructing the Underground Portion in Chino Hills and Chino
Beginning in early August 2014, SCE and its contractors will begin activities necessary for constructing the Tehachapi project underground in portions of Chino Hills and Chino. Below is a description of the construction activities.
What you will see:
- Clearing of vegetation and any impeding structures within the project area
- Installation of chain-link fencing along the project area to ensure safety of the public and project personnel during construction
- Trenching and underground drilling
- Installation of underground electric transmission wires (500 kilovolt), conduit, vaults and related equipment
- Installation of two (2) transition stations to enable wires to go from overhead towers to underground conduits at each end of the underground area; each station will be approximately three (3) acres in size, with an 8-foot perimeter wall with some equipment approximately 133-ft in height
- Installation of two (2) new lattice steel transmission structures, one adjacent to each transition station described above, to feed the overhead wires into the stations
- Use of large construction equipment, including cranes and drilling equipment
Periods of temporary lane closures and traffic control on:
- Chino Hills Pkwy (between Carbon Canyon Rd and Eucalyptus Ave) and;
- Pipeline Ave (between Chino Hills Pkwy and Eucalyptus Ave)
There are several major components associated with undergrounding a 500 kV line. The majority of the work will be completed using a method called "trenching." Trenching generally refers to digging or excavating, which will be conducted with use of large construction equipment in order to install the electrical transmission facilities underground.
Most of the trenching work will be conducted within the utility right of way corridor. However, at times, Southern California Edison (SCE) crews will trench across residential streets and significant thoroughfares through the city, including Chino Hills Parkway and Pipeline Avenue. Construction activities may require periods of road and/or traffic lane closures.
The duration of the temporary lane closures will vary depending on the location:
- At most residential streets, SCE crews will temporarily close half the street during construction and upon completion, the second half of the crossing will be constructed. This work typically takes approximately ten working days per residential street.
- On Cork and Lobelia Drive, SCE crews will implement full street closures during construction working hours. This work will take approximately 15 working days per street to complete. (Note: at least one street, Cork or Lobelia Drive, will be open at all times).
- At Chino Hills Parkway and Pipeline Avenue, this work can take up to 30 days at each location.
SCE understands that construction may be disruptive to daily activities of residents and area businesses. We are committed to minimizing impacts and ensuring safety of the public and project personnel during this work. Please visit the "More Information" tab on this web page for valuable information to help keep you safe when around construction areas.
Approximate dates: | Early August 2014 and continuing through 2016 | |
Approximate hours |
Chino Hills locations*: |
Chino locations (west of Pipeline Ave)*: |
*Hours are in accordance with city noise ordinance; may include limited 24-hour underground boring as needed |
Note: Schedule is tentative and may change depending on weather and other factors, as well as additional regulatory clarification from the CPUC. Construction schedule may change to include extended hours as well as Sunday work.
SCE understands that construction may be disruptive to daily activities of residents and area businesses. While dust during construction cannot be completely eliminated, SCE and its contractors are taking steps to minimize potential impacts to residents and businesses. To help minimize dust or noise from these project activities, residents may choose to close windows or doors facing the construction area and cover items such as vehicles and swimming pools.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as our project personnel work as safely and quickly as possible to complete these important electric system upgrades.
We're here to answer your questions. Give us a call, send an e-mail or visit our web site if you have questions about construction related activities. SCE is committed to providing available information to minimize construction impacts to the extent possible.

AgriPOWER Class VI is in session
AgriPOWER class member Rebekah Headings discusses her experience with the first session of the leadership program.
Reporters, please visit our news room located in the Media and Publications section of this site.
AgriPOWER class member Rebekah Headings discusses her experience with the first session of the leadership program.
AgriPOWER Institute Class V has graduated. Ohio Farm Bureau's Callie Wells, member of Class V, provides her thoughts on the relationships built and value of the leadership program.
Paul Shapiro, the director of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) Factory Farming Campaign, recently spoke to OFBF's AgriPOWER Institute, a group of individuals wishing to enhance their leadership skills in becoming advocates for agriculture.
Members of OFBFs AgriPOWER Institute, an intensive leadership program designed to produce future agricultural leaders, took a close look at Washington politics during a recent trip to the nations capitol.
The price of food is a hot topic. Discussions about everything from Egyptian political unrest to climate change to economic recovery have economists, activists, politicians and bloggers talking about food prices. Farmers should be too.

cut out all the usual leftist crystories and infantile sentiments to stir up sympathy for their agenda of theft and total control over peoples' lives...
This number is actually completely and utterly wrong.
The majority of the people in the OWS movement are where they are by choice.
You don't see the disabled veteran there, the person who lost a leg in a work related accident. Those people are working, earning a living, they have the right attitude.
We have a massive problem, and that's government control over everything.
Government handouts to moochers and looters like those in the OWS movement are now higher than government income, and will be higher than GDP in a few years.
Those people demand they be given widescreen plasma televisions, 4G cellphones, designer clothes, steak dinners, and brand new cars every few months, without ever doing anything whatsoever to earn them.
They're the professional unemployed and unemployable, buffed up with unionised government workers who would be unemployed and unemployable if they didn't have a government job where they could laze the day away in some cubbyhole without ever doing any work whatsoever (and yes, I know more than a few of them).
They fear their days of unbridled and unrestricted looting of the productive part of the population are under threat, and are trying to make the most of their situation while they still can, dragging everyone else into utter poverty to sate their unsatiable lust for stuff.

István Bibó
István Bibó (August 7, 1911, Budapest – May 10, 1979, Budapest) was a Hungarian lawyer, civil servant, politician and political theorist. During the Hungarian Revolution he acted as the Minister of State for the Hungarian National Government. When the Soviets invaded to crush the rebellious government, he was the last Minister left at his post in the Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest. Rather than evacuate, he stayed in the building and wrote his famous proclamation, "For Freedom and Truth", as he awaited arrest.[1]
Bibó was arrested on May 23, 1957 and sentenced to life imprisonment on August 2, 1958 but released in the 1963 amnesty.
Bibó received a law degree from the Franz Joseph University and later taught there.[2] He also received a PhD from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, in Geneva.[citation needed]

The society is open to students of law or political sciences who pass a rigorous entrance exam. Attaining membership in the society is considered an honor of its own.

Woodward, who guided his side to success in Australia in 2003, said: "All I do know is we did it one way, which was by long-term planning and preparation.
"They can still win it because they have the players - they definitely have the players.
"Whether they have got the system in place, that is the question mark, but they can win it.
"The system worries me - that is why I left the job, and it has not changed in three years.
"But you have got to buck the system, hence you have got to become a control freak and you have just got to get it done - and you can get it done.
"We have proved it can be done, but you have got to make some tough calls and be very, very aggressive at times in getting things through.
"That is what they have got to be at the moment. They have got the players, they can certainly win it on ability, but they have got to take some really tough calls now."
Woodward, then working for Southampton Football Club, was a candidate for the job, but has since accepted the post of elite performance director for the British Olympic Association ahead of the 2012 London Olympics.

Interactive: Two decades of firearm deaths in California
About 80,000 California residents died because of firearm injuries between 1991 and 2012, roughly the same number killed in motor vehicle accidents, according to the latest state health data.
- The number of firearm-related deaths is much lower today than it was 20 years ago, even though the state's population has grown significantly and many more guns are sold each year.
- Californians between 15 and 24 are the most likely age group to die because of a firearm injury. Children under 15 account for less than 2 percent of firearm deaths.
- Firearm death rates are generally highest in rural, inland California, particularly in the northern part of the state.
- Minorities are more likely to be murdered with a firearm than whites. Whites are more likely to kill themselves with a firearm than minorities.
These charts show firearm death trends from 1991 to 2012 ...

In reporting on gay chief executives, CNBC and NPR repeated the rumor that Apple CEO Tim Cook is openly gay.
The driver behind both stories was the publication of The Glass Closet: Why Coming Out is Good for Business by John Browne, who resigned as chief executive of British oil giant BP after he was outed in 2007.
NPR talked with Browne – Lord Browne of Madingley – about the CEO landscape. During the interview, he stated: "Certainly, if you look at the S&P 500, there isn't one out, gay CEO."
A reader wrote in to correct Browne, saying Cook is openly gay, and NPR host Melissa Block read the letter on the air without challenging the assertion.
"Peter Tenney of Baltimore writes: In point of fact, Tim Cook of Apple is openly gay," Block read.
Similarly, CNBC's Squawk on the Street hosted New York Times columnist James R. Stewart to discuss a profile on Browne he wrote.
"There are gay CEOs in major companies, and I reached out to many of them," Stewart said on the program. "I got an extremely cool reception. Not one would allow to be named at all."
"I think Tim Cook is fairly open about the fact he's gay at the head of Apple, isn't he?" co-host Simon Hobbs asked.
"Hmm, no," Stewart awkwardly replied. "I don't want to comment about anybody who might or might not be. I'm not going to out anybody." (The video is embedded on this page. Visit our video library for more videos.)
While Cook has not denied the rumor – made persistent by frequent mentions in Out's annual Power 50 list and his strong support for LGBT workplace protections – he's also never publicly discussed his sexual orientation.

Released: Apr 01st, 1992
Running Time: 84
Director: Chi Chi LaRue
Company: Catalina Video
Dylan Fox, Wes Daniels, Jeremy Foxx, Chad Knight, Tracy Winn, Kourtney Van Wales, Karen Dior, Steven Hill, Tommy Grant, Sharon Kane
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Specialty
It should be no surprise that director Chi Chi LaRue is a fan of the 1960 film Some Like It Hot, with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon In disguise as women, so it's only logical that when Karen Dior reveals to her (his?) lover of the moment that she's (he's?) really a guy, Karen says, "Nobody's perfect." Of the two transvestites — not transsexuals — in the cast, Karen is the more feminine one, and dare I say, more attractive of the two. The other one is Kourtney Van Wales. The whole cast is either at or on their way to or preparing for Chi Chi's party. There's no continuing storyline — just a series of sexual encounters, only one of which is strictly boy-girl, the girl being the very pretty Tracy Winn. Other segments feature Kourtney as a male hooker in drag who is able to fool a customer into thinking he's a girl. Or at least he fools him for a while. Action is varied, with guys, girls and a combination thereof getting it on. Chi Chi never lets the camera linger, so boredom never gets a chance to set in. If you have a bi section in your store, this should be prominently featured, as it will do well with several audiences.

November 28, 2010 - 11:39The guest speaker, dressed in black, paces slowly in front of the Castlemont High School auditorium stage, sizing up the audience. Tough crowd. Young men hunker down under sweatshirt hoods and baseball caps. Young women, overdressed for this sunny spring day, guard against the chilly atmosphere inside. They lean deep into their seats. No one is smiling.
"I'd like to take a moment of silence for all the young people we've lost on the streets," says the guest, a commanding baritone.

Shopping Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue and Columbus Avenue are all busy commercial strips. Zabar's, on Broadway, opened in 1934 as a single market counter selling smoked fish. Today it's an Upper West Side institution where folks stop by to stock up on coffee, bagels, homemade soups, knishes and, of course, the fish that started it all. Bookworms should head across the street to Westsider Rare and Used Books, a reader's paradise with two levels of floor-to-ceiling titles, including some rare selections. The place is so packed with great finds that the staircase from the first to the second floor is lined with VHS tapes and books on each step (and the entire establishment has that comforting old-book smell). Upstairs, there's an extensive selection of old Mad magazine issues. Crafty types can let loose at yarn shop Knitty City. Owner Pearl Chin is almost always on hand to help customers choose the perfect tools for their project, and the selection beats that of any standard craft store. Beginner knitters can sign up for a class to get acquainted with the medium. On Sundays, the schoolyard (and school) between 76th and 77th Streets at Columbus Avenue transforms into GreenFlea, an indoor-outdoor market selling rugs, jewelry, clothing, furniture, collectibles and food. The market is open year-round, rain or shine. The 79th Street Greenmarket, across from the American Museum of Natural History, is where locals stock up on fresh produce. Meanwhile, the Time Warner Center offers the Shops at Columbus Circle, which has name brands like Coach, J. Crew and Williams-Sonoma.

Holland here we come....
Trip Start
Jul 27, 2010
Trip End
Sep 04, 2010
Where I stayed
Bert & Ina's house!
After a quick look around town and a quick spot of shopping, and another bratwurst in Hannover we were off to Holland.
We sat on about 160km on the Autobahn today. Nice weather and good drivers makes it possible to cruise along.
We arrived at Ina & Bert's house was great to see them again and we are looking forward to spending a week or so with them in their lovely house. We had a nice home cooked meal of steak for dinner and a personalised tour around the city of Hardenberg. We called into Ina's work and checked out the kitchen at the hospital she works at, lots of cool stainless steel that Shane liked! We then drove past one of Shane's Oma's sister (great aunty) we thought we would call in and say hello, she was looking might sprightly for an unannounced visit and someone who is nearly 98 years of age. There are some good genes in Shane's family, so much so that there is some research currently being done by the government on the family as Oma and many of her sisters have been blessed with a longevity gene.
We finished the day off with a gelato from Tosacana's.
It's nice to get to Holland and relax.

Looking for this typeface. It's the e that defines it different to any of the other common sans-serifs. Could it possibly be a custom e?
Unfortunately, not many symbols to play with.
Many thanks.

To capture on-air talent, crowd reactions and wide-angle field shots for the high-definition broadcast of the Super Bowl, ABC used Panasonic's compact AK-HC900 high- definition box-type cameras.
The 3.9-pound cameras — mounted on robotic pan/tilt systems — were located in the announcers' booth and in the "slash" position in the corner of an end zone to provide widescreen HD images. The end zone camera captured on-field, billboard, bumper and isolation shots for the telecast.
The AK-HC900 offers a 720-line progressive HD output and multiple frame rate capabilities, including 60 and 24-frames per second. The camera employs three 2/3" 1 million-pixel (1280 x 720) IT CCDs with 38-bit internal processing designed to dramatically improve dark and highlight image quality. Its horizontal single-read CCDs and spatial-offset processing reduces moiré while assuring high resolution.

Style with Trysh ~ Jon Marc
K.Secret Dunbar is CEO/Founder/Creative Director of Jon Marc and Secret7; both under the umbrella of Seven Curves. Her passion for fashion began at the very young age of two, when she insisted on dressing herself.
Growing up she'd often altered garments for a polished fit as she developed her curves. Before graduating high school she secured a management position in retail; it was then when she realized fashion was not only her passion it was also her purpose. A few years later, she opened a brick and mortar; this was the beginning of her seeking a place in the fashion market as a retailer. Although the business was successful, it was still difficult for K.Secret to find manufactured garments to fit the curvy hourglass figure of her and customers with the "curvy woman" issue. Very frustrated she resorted to altering inventory to compliment the shape of hourglass curves. Eventually, she constructed an entire garment and from there was inspired to design for women with the same curvy women complexes.
K.Secret soon discovered with fashion design and apparel construction there was a need for fashion education. A stickler for perfection she closed the business and pursued a full time degree in Fashion Merchandise and Retail Management at the Art Institute of Washington. During her studies she discovered a great love for Fashion History, Product Development, Merchandise Management and Branding; these courses were the foundation of her future in fashion as a designer. Shortly before receiving a Bachelor's Degree, her research solidified the demand for her niche in the market; women with hour glass curves. This revelation was the births of Jon Marc- a clothing line for women with hourglass curves, Secret7- the footwear line (coming soon), and Seven Curves- the online boutique.
Guest-Jon Huck and Shane McConnaghy
in Comedy
On this episode of The Charleston Comedy Podcast. We have guest Jon Huck. Jon's humor can best be described as honest, observational and self deprecating. His material ranges from TV friendly to wildly inappropriate. Jon performs stand up all over the Country. Jon appeared on Season 4 of Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham". His first CD "Fantasticular Hilaritation" is available on Itunes.
Jon also portrayed several characters during the run of MTV's popular hidden camera show "Punk'd". Most recently he appeared on VH1's "Undateable". Jon's first feature – "Garbage" is due out in early 2011. Listen to the show live at 11 pm eastern time..Also Shane McConnaghy will be calling into the show. He and his step brother Stan will be in Charleston for the Step Brothers Tour..Comedy brothers from different mothers, it's the Step Brothers comedy show. Shane and Stan are as different as night and day, but one thing they share is the ability to make you howl with laughter. Intelligent and clever are never used to describe these two. Instead, what is heard again and again at their shows is, "My face still hurts from laughing so hard." The Step Brothers are a comedic duo you don't want to miss. It is two shows for the price of one.

The May-Pac/Jon Jones Call-in Special
in Sports
It's time for what some people are already calling the fight of the century even before it actually goes down. The Fight News Unlimited crew will reserve our judgment for after the fight. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are finally going to fight. Tom Padgett, Tony Penecale, and Rich Bergeron will break down their picks for the outcomes, which run the table of possibilities. We will also discuss the unfortunate and unprecedented stripping of the UFC Light Heavyweight Title from Jon "Bones" Jones, who is facing potential jail time in a hit and run incident in which a pregnant woman broke her arm. The UFC suspended Jones indefinitely after the MMA star allegedly ran from the scene of the accident after retrieving cash from the rental car that struck two other vehicles, including the one the injured woman was in. This incident is eerily similar to the Rampage Jackson incident where he claimed to be hopped up on energy drinks, and oddly timed with Rampage's recent return to the UFC. The stage is now set for Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, a former guest of our show here. We'll also have some points in the show where we will be taking calls from listeners, so tune and and chime in if you can. We'd like to get a community opinion on these topics and other combat sports issues.
All the Jon Jones and Mayweather vs Paquiao talk you can handle
in MMA
On this week's edition of The Majority Decision we will delve further into the Jon Jones controversy and the UFC's decision to strip him of the UFC light heavyweight title. Did they make the right call? Was it a move that should have been made sooner? We will also talk about boxing's biggest fight that should have taken place 4, 5, even 6 years ago. Who came out on top of the epic showdown between boxing's last two draws and is this fight between Manny Paquiao and Floyd Mayweather the final nail in the coffin of the once beloved sweet science?
All this and more live every Sunday at 10 PM central standard time.

The next adventure of "The Seven Sins"' Michael "The Tyrant" Tiranno, Jon Land's "Black Scorpion "is a pulse pounding action-thriller as he takes on a worldwide human trafficking cabal.Five years have passed since Michael Tiranno saved the city of Las Vegas from a terrorist attack. And now a new enemy has surfaced in Eastern Europe in the form of an all-powerful organization called Black Scorpion. Once a victim of human trafficking himself, the shadowy group's crazed leader, Vladimir Dracu, has become the mastermind behind the scourge's infestation on a global scale. And now he's set his sights on Michael Tiranno for reasons birthed in a painful secret past that have scarred both men.Already facing a myriad of problems, Michael once more must rise to the challenge of confronting an all-powerful enemy who is exploiting and ravaging innocents all across the globe and has set nothing less than all of America as its new victim. Black Scorpion has also taken the woman Michael loves hostage: Scarlett Swan, a beautiful archaeologist who was following the dangerous trail of the origins of the ancient relic that both defines and empowers Michael, a discovery that could change history and the perception of mankind's very origins.With the deck and the odds stacked against him, Michael must come to learn and embrace his true destiny in becoming the Tyrant reborn as a dark knight to triumph over ultimate evil and stop the sting of Black Scorpion from undermining all of the United States and plunging Las Vegas into chaos and anarchy.A major production for a feature film is in active development in Hollywood based on the franchised character of Michael Tiranno, the Tyrant. The film will be based on the blended adaptation of "Black Scorpion" and its predecessor, "The Seven Sins, " which both have also been licensed to DC Comics for comic books and graphic novels publications worldwide.

Naked Man Festival
Trip Start
Jul 27, 2006
Trip End
Where I stayed
okayama youth hostel
saw the crow castle, and the beautiful garden that surrounds it (kourakuen) which is known as one of the top 3 gardens in japan. but since it was winter, the garden was pretty sparse. still i enjoyed roaming through it, taking in the sites, breathing the fresh air, having the sun on my face, and relaxing with good company.
the naked man festival (which let's be honest, is what you're all curious about...) was alright~ another slight disappointment one could say. i think if i was a dude and i had run in the festival, it might have been more enjoyable. but as a spectator- not a lot happened. we went to the temple around 9pm. waited around till midnight, when hoards of men crammed into a tiny little temple, and then fought for a lucky stick. we were so far away, and there were so many people, that we didn't get to see the actual fight for the stick. but i'm sure some guy went home happy. supposedly the one who ends up with the stick in his hands at the end of the night, will have a great year, or a great life, or *something* great- along those lines. hmm- never even saw who the lucky fellow was. i was kind of expecting an awards ceremony, or a kodak moment of him posing with his newfound stick... or something spectacular. but no, nothing.
mmkay, i do realize that i'm sounding a bit harsh. there were good aspects to the event, for example-it was interesting to see people of all ages decked out for the night in their little footsie slippers and loin cloths. there were young boys, men as old as 90, and foreigners alike- all enjoying the event together, which was neat to see. BUT it was the coldest night of the year, and they were all nearly naked- so i could only grimace in pity as they passed, thinking about how cold they must be.
would i go again? no. am i glad i went? yes!
i think i enjoyed meeting up with my friend and spending the weekend together, engaged in intellectually inspiring conversation, much more than i enjoyed the visit to okayama itself.

Suddenly you've come into my life, lifting the gray clouds which covered my heart for so long. Suddenly with the gentleness of your touch, I can finally receive as much love as I can give. Suddenly my dream of loving and being loved has a chance to come true with you at my side. For Yasmin 8/88

IT services major Capgemini is confident about India's growth story, despite challenges like infrastructure and development being faced by the world's second most populous country.
The Paris-based firm, which employs over 1.2 lakh people in 40 countries, is a major provider of consulting, technology and outsourcing services with revenue of more than 10 billion euro (about USD 13 billion) last year.

"There is absolutely no way you stay-in and not move. Everybody will move... the government has a sound road map and policy in place, so first those things get worked out and some of those pilots will potentially help problems and hiccups.
"Some will work. Its just a matter of getting the ball moving in enough prove points," Capgemini, Corporate Vice President Utilities Global Sector Leader, Perry Stoneman told
Related: Keeping fiscal deficit target a challenge, says PMEAC
Explaining the nature of problems in India, he said the country's size and its population also add up to the problem.
"I think the problem here is bigger because of the size and population of the country. Its bigger because the infrastructure isn't as modern. So the challenge India has is bigger.
"The challenges of the regulator, the utility and the policy makers are bigger. So what everybody should probably recognise is that India needs more time to get those things figured out," he added.
Stoneman said that regulatory issues take time to standardise.
Citing the example of France, he added the country has started to roll out (smart meters), but the same metres if one tried to install in 2006-07 would not have been possible.
"So my advice to business people that are getting frustrated with being here is they may be not trying to shape the market, advice the market, structure pilots. They are trying to get a big deal, that's not gonna happen in the short term," he added.
Stoneman, however, said there is no clarity who is going to drive the change in India, where it will be the policy makers or the regulator or the people.
"The stumbling point that I'm hearing is that everywhere in the world there's been either the politicians, the regulator, the utility or the consumer that has driven the programme and in India I don't see clarity yet on who is going to drive the programme or initiate it on a country-wide scale," he

Buy a shorter board because of reverse camber?
I am looking into buying a board with RC technology. Several salespeople have told me that you should buy RC boards slightly shorter than the size you would normally ride because of the way it responds. I was wondering if this is true, or really just a matter of personal preference.
I am looking at the Never Summer Infinity-r. Will be using it for cruising the groomers, jumps, and ground tricks. No rails or jibbing or anything like that. I found the board in a 147 , which seems to be toward the longer end of what I can ride (I weigh 105 pounds and currently ride a 143). My instinct is that a 145 would be better for me, especially if it's true that you should buy a shorter rc board. Sooo....buy the 147 or wait until next year for the 145, which is impossible to find right now? |

whoever started that rumor is the biggest noob ever....its not true, it depends on the board. you should be looking for a 145 not the 147, as the 145 is already a tad tall for you.

definitely buy the 145. 147 will be too big... and you might end up wishing you waited out for the 145 instead.
i'm around the same weight as you and 145 is the perfect size. my old board was a 143 and i didn't notice any diff moving up 2 cm. but 4 cm might be pushing it... |

Mervin believes in that size down bull shit. K2 perpetrates that rumor with the VVV rocker and its use of "jib tips" because of the longer effective edge, but yet they even say with their rocker size up so it negates it. Never summers you want to ride true to size. You need the 145.

I weight about 110 pounds and am 5 ft tall. I personally wouldn't ride anything larger than about a 143 except for powder. I ride a 138 Rome Label that serves me well for ground tricks, jibbing, and smaller jumps and even for a majority of groomer riding but it can get a fairly unstable at higher speeds and on bigger jumps. My current 143 all-mountain board is entirely stable for bombing though not certainly not as playful - because of both the size and flex.
Some of it does come down to personal preference. Also I'm on the east coast and see little powder unfortunately and prefer smaller boards. But I think you definitely need the 145 and might even enjoy a smaller board particularly if you're staying on groomers and working on ground tricks and getting into the park. I remember looking into the Never Summer Infinity-R and noticing that the smallest women's board was a 145. I just opted for a Bataleon Distortia 143 for my new freestyle geared all-mountain board but since my season is over haven't been able to try it out yet It can be hard to find good board options when you are this small since some companies like Lib tech and Never Summer have nothing under 145 - and Bataleon didn't even have anything under 143 if I wanted something like a jib board from them. It's lame - though I do see the amount of smaller women's boards on the increase. |

I'm just going to wait it out and keep researching different boards. Hopefully I'll be able to demo a bit next season. My two current boards suit me just fine and I do like a smaller board, since I'm not a hard-charging, aggressive rider. Thanks for all the great advice! |

You're right BA, my bad. I really just meant to say that there are less options if you're as small as myself or Lilfoot and prefer boards on the shorter side.
Not really a critique on the companies more just a frustration of being too damn small. |

Actually you're just part of the trend that believes you have to ride these microscopic boards to prove that you're a "Tiny" girl. It's just a trend in snowboarding that's lame everyone keeps going smaller and smaller to try and act like it helps their riding. I went through this trend back in 1997, it didn't help my riding.

Different sized people need different sized boards, it's retarded to say that it's a trend. If you're a full 60 pounds lighter than the 'average' snowboarder, I don't see how it's ridiculous to want a board a few cms smaller. |

Mount Lyell is the highest point in Yosemite National Park, at 13,114 feet (3,997 m). It is located at the southeast end of the Cathedral Range, 1.2 miles (1.9 km) northwest of Rodgers Peak. The peak as well as nearby Lyell Canyon is named after Charles Lyell, a well-known 19th century geologist.[6] The peak also has one of the last remaining glaciers in Yosemite, Lyell Glacier.
Mount Lyell divides the Tuolumne River watershed to the north, the Merced to the west, and the Rush Creek drainage in the Mono Lake Basin to the southeast.
The most common approach to Mount Lyell is from Tuolumne Meadows on a highly traveled section of the John Muir Trail. The round trip is approximately 25 miles (40 km) and involves 4,500 feet (1,400 m) of elevation gain when starting from the Tuolumne Wilderness Office. The hike is easy from Tuolumne Meadows, following the Tuolumne River to the head of the Lyell Canyon, and becomes moderate as it approaches Donohue Pass. Before reaching Donahue Pass, the route leaves the trail and heads south towards Mount Lyell.
Most summit ascents are done either over or around the Lyell Glacier. Seasonal and year-to-year variations on the glacier make it necessary to assess current conditions before choosing a route to the summit. The NW Ridge, from the saddle between Mount Lyell and nearby Mount Maclure, offers class 2-3 climbing with high snow levels on the glacier. Low snow levels increases the grade to class 3-4 on the exposed granite ledges, in which cases it may be easier to ascend the glacier more directly to the summit. The grade of the East Arete likewise increases with low snow conditions, going from class 3 to class 4 (the looseness of the rock underlying the glacier on the East Arete makes it somewhat dangerous in low snow conditions). Other routes exist on the south and west sides, but of greater difficulty and longer approaches.
