Workout program...
Hi peoples!
I am from the UK and have only been boarding at my local indoor snow slope and only since the middle of February.
As I play ice hockey, I thought I had good legs but I guess I'm now using the muscles in a different way??? And I'm going harder and pushing myself as only a hockey player does! ;-)
I'm also guessing that if you are lucky enough to get on the slopes any time you like, and have been doing it for years and years, you'll have trained your body to cope very well???
So, are there any workouts to help me develop the correct muscle groups???
Also some isometrics. One of the first muscles to "go" if you're not in condition is your quads. Unless you stand straight up on the board with your knees virtually locked, your thighs will eventually start to scream. Holding a semi-squat for a minute or more will train this.
Thanks guys, as I said, playing hockey, as I'm sure you'll know has given me strong legs but I was surprised how I feel the burn after I spend time at my slope...
I don't want to be stronger, just snowboard fit.... I am getting a bike so I guess that's a good step plus, at 6'3" and 205 I'm not too small! So I do wanna shed a little weight but as you say, tone up some....
yoga/flexibility training of your choice
the hockey will be handy if you need to bodycheck any duck skiers out the way
My friends over at Pro-Ride actually put together a little snowboard workout here that you might find useful:
Snowboard Workout | Pro Ride Snowboarding Camps, BC Canada
If I recall correctly they took most of those exercises from riders on the Canadian halfpipe team, so you know the exercises there will be solid.

One exercise is pause squats with a little weight.It's the best way of mimicking what your body is doing on the hill. Just put a little weight on your back and do some movements. HUGE results.
Snowboarding or skiing is HIIT, so it would behoove you to do HIIT both on and off season, and keep it going as a side benefit for your heart.
Also as with any HIIT you will benefit from any simple sugar, such as Gatorade or the like.
Last summer i did alot of hiking. Downhill mountain biking, cx mountain biking, longboarding and 3-4the days i did yoga. I really only felt the true jello legs about 15 days thia year when conditions were really deep or semi deep wet snow. I snowboarded 145ish days. I could litteraly ride groomers all day, non stop Early season. That was a huge contrast from years before of getting tired by 1130. Im still a big ass guy. 6' 275/280. My legs are like tree trunks right now though
Balance boards are great for leg conditioning and of course, balance.
i don't really work out at a gym but i try to do a lot of core exercises in my room and always stretch afterwards.
before i do anything like that i'll run sprints up and down my stairs for about 5 or so mins to get the muscles loose and warmed up, then do whatever work out i was planning on and finish it off with some stretching.

Stress Is Not The Enemy
In the face of nonstop demand and constant distraction, it's no wonder working professionals feel overloaded and overwhelmed. Stress is a common complaint, but stress is not the enemy. Instead of focusing on eliminating stress, the key to feeling better and performing optimally is to skillfully manage our own energy.
Join Arden Pennell, Director of Facilitation and Programs at The Energy Project as she shares key ideas for energy management, including an exploration of the four dimensions of energy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

William Yeoward Crystal

The design inspiration for William Yeoward Crystal is drawn from antique crystal pieces originally made in England during the 18th, 19th and early 20th century. This has inspired collections of barware, decorative pieces and stemware and more recently 'the Country Collection'. Every piece of William Yeoward Crystal is made entirely by hand and represents the finest quality available. Whilst echoing the style and elegance of period pieces, each one has a distinctly original and contemporary look, equally at home in either modern or traditional settings.

nuke alert on yahoo news.
This could be the making or breaking of the nuclear power industry - if they can get thru this without too much more radiation release it is arguable that the plants can stand up to major catastrophe. If it goes the other way its gonna be a very difficult sell getting any new ones started.
everywhere.....unless someone can show pretty conclusively that earthquakes and the resultant tsunamis won't happen (which of course is impossible and is logically flawed to try to prove a negative).
I'm not saying that nuclear power stations should or shouldn't be considered, just pointing out that there's billions of dollars and potentially a whole industry riding on the Japanese outcome.
A 3rd reactor has lost it's cooling system at the same place.
Daniel Bedingfield claimed that his new album is what it would sound like if Sting, Stevie Wonder and Micheal Jackson were in a basement together - I haven't got the album so I'll have to imagine the sound of a blind bloke and a Geordie kicking the shit out of a pedophile.
Two explosions- the jet stream's going to ship that shit to the NW in a few days time. This is serious biz. I assume the N. Koreans have hit the ceiling (masturbatory splat) on this one and as the markets tank so will the Chinese.
Don't you know there ain't no devil, it's just god when he's drunk.

Amazing what 70 + years will do. Where was the empathy then?

FOXBOROUGH -- Gronk is back.
In a move that can only be viewed as positive, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski returned to practice Sunday's full pads practice and did not appear to be operating with any limitations.
"It was great. It's always great to have Gronk out there on the field with the whole team," tight end Michael Hoomanawanui said. "We see him every day, and he's in every meeting. We know Gronk in and out each and every day. To get him out there it kind of lifts everyone's spirits. Definitely a good sign."
Gronkowski went through agility drills, ran some routes and worked on his blocking during the window of practice that is open to the media.
The tight end is working his way back from offseason back surgery and was recently added to the 53-man roster after spending the offseason on the physically unable to perform list.
The Patriots open the season this Sunday in Buffalo against the Bills. It is not yet known if Gronkowski will be ready to play.

March 16, 2014 - Zach Baker
John Lennon is asked about a comment he made in an interview where he said he'd like to be forgotten.
Lennon, who at this point only is about a year removed from the Beatles, doesn't dismiss the remark.
So Dick Cavett pounces, albeit in a somewhat shy, conversational way.
"But you talked about performing again," he says, wryly. "You won't be forgotten if you do that." (I'm paraphrasing here).
Lennon then says he gives so many interviews, he can't even remember what he says. He somewhat implies that he's sometimes making things up as he goes in interviews.
Then Cavett asks a question so easily, it stuns me.
"So are you doing that now?"
Lennon seems a little surprised. He says he doesn't understand.
And we take a commercial break.
Years ago, in my high school days, I'd have been hanging on Lennon's every word. I was enamored with him. Had this aired on VH1 in, say, 1997, I'd have thought Lennon was being brilliant here, speaking hard truths, and not caring about the consequences.
But now, Lennon doesn't have my attention.
Dick Cavett does.
My job entails interviews. Many of them.
Coaches, players, administrators, and so on.
And honestly, I've always believed interviewing isn't my best point. There are reasons for this. After a game, questions have to be asked quickly. In writing, there are few re-takes, few second chances. You get an answer. You may want your subject to expound on it. But there also are so many things to get to. You may ask about a play at the end of the game, but you also need to know about what happened just before the half. So you accept an answer and move to the next point.
It'd be easy to say Cavett had some advantages. A full hour with big name guests.
But imagine if your guests are John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Both have projects to plug. John really doesn't seem to want to talk about the Beatles.
But there's so much to get to. The duo's political activism. Yoko's role in breaking up the band. The reality that rock stars keep dropping dead of drug overdoses.
And then there's Lennon's ability to say so much in interviews, some of which seemingly contradicts other things he's said.
Cavett hits on all of this with all the intensity of a soft jazz performer. In the process, Lennon reveals the most important point: That he says a lot of things and it's hard to remember what he says, or if he believes what he says.
And yet, the interview is friendly, if at times uncomfortable.
Lennon seems annoyed at times, especially when Cavett goes to commercial breaks. Ono -- whom I've long been an admirer of -- comes across as the more likable of the two. It seems Cavett takes a liking to her as well, something Lennon takes notice of.
Or maybe I'm overanalyzing a show from 40 years ago.
Cavett impresses me because of his attention. He asks questions and listens to the answers, then draws out the points. That sounds simple. But it's hard when you have four more things you want to ask. It's the Dick Cavett Show, but the show is as much about his guests as it is about him. But, a former standup, Cavett neither directs nor disappears. Lennon and Ono don't take over the show. They are part of it.
I'm not sure there's a show today like that. I've seen David Letterman try to give serious interviews, but it doesn't work the way this does. Jay Leno could ask the tough question (just ask Hugh Grant), but the formats always play to humor.
Piers Morgan's show tried to find Cavett's style, but Morgan always seemed more interested in himself than his guests. Same for when I've watched Bill O'Reilly.
But Cavett -- in this show-- did what I like as a viewer, and what I hope to someday find as an interviewer.

At the Chicago Dental Society, we've heard that the Illinois State Dental Society receives several phone calls a day from members with questions about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also referred to as Obamacare. The following bullet points address some of the questions currently being asked:
If you have additional questions, contact Dionne Haney, ISDS Director of Professional Services, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800.475.4737.
Are you familiar with Zealous Good? It's a two-year-old, Chicago-based organization that connects donors with local non-profits to meet specific needs; they say they match non-profits with "the goods they need to do great."
Redecorating your reception area? Zealous Good can help you find local groups that need the gently used furniture, and you get to select your preferred recipient. They help the donor and recipient communicate directly, and provide tax receipts when appropriate.
Zealous Good started as a pilot with four charities in 2011, and has since expanded to 330 organizations throughout Chicagoland. Director of Operations and Outreach Jesse Mavi estimates that 80 percent of their work is in the metro area. They've made 1,800 connections totaling $900,000 in donated goods – and counting.

Chicago's Department of Public Health is working with Mayor Rahm Emanuel to discourage the use of menthol-flavored tobacco, especially by minorities and young people. Look for a new campaign from the LimeGreen/Chicago ad agency on television, radio and print materials.
The print ads feature close-ups of the faces of young people on whom are scarred the words "Big Tobacco." The ad copy reads: "Tobacco companies use menthol-flavored cigarettes to get you addicted. Don't get burned."
This campaign is part of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's call to action under the City of Chicago's public health agenda called, "Healthy Chicago."
Chicago will be the first city in the United States to regulate e-cigarettes and impose a targeted sales restriction that would ban the sales of these tobacco products near schools. Menthol-flavored cigarettes have a minty flavor that masks the tobacco taste and generally reduces throat irritation often associated with smoking.
Smoking remains the top cause of preventable deaths in the United States with an estimated 450,000 Americans dying of smoke-related diseases every year. The good news, the smoking rate has been the lowest in the last 45 years but that number has stagnated around 21 percent for the last five years.
"This is very meaningful work that we're doing in connection with the Burned campaign," said Michael Stratta, Managing Partner at LimeGreen, in a prepared release. "Our hope is that the awareness initiative will not only help our city's youth but raise overall health awareness throughout the city of Chicago."
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

Dear California
Fuck off. While you're at it, fuck off. When you're done with that, fuck off. Once you've finished that, fuck off. Then to top it off, fuck off. In case you missed it California, fuck off.
Why do I feel this way? Well, first and foremost, Cailfornia is full of Californians. What are Californians? A collective group of self-absorbed, arrogant, rude, disrespectful douchebags who, can't even come close to begin to figure out how state governments operate; hand drivers licenses out to anyone who shows up during working hours to a DMV; import palm trees to a region where they aren't native and that can't support them; build housing (lots of housing) in areas where wildfires are prevelant (let's not forget the mudslides either) then act stunned and exploited when those wildfires break out; and lead the nation in dumbass lawsuits.
There are lots (and when I say lots I'm understating the point on a cosmic scale) of additional reasons, but that should give you a few clues. Even in this state-full of blithering fucktards, two individuals have leapt to the forefront: Janine Sugawara and Harold Hewell. Why these two? Let's start with Ms Sugawara.
Ms Sugawara decided it was a constructive use of state legal (and financial) resources to sue Quaker Oats. Why? Because for four godawful years she was deceived into buying Crunch Berries believing them to be real fruit. Adjectives fail this level of stupidity. Even while the box clearly states ON THE FRONT not just the side nutritional panel that there's only oats and corn inside, because it said 'berries' she expected fruit. The federal judge in the case (yes it got to that level) threw the case out. The OBVIOUS transplant to California who still manages to have 3 functioning braincells to rub together must have seen the writing on the wall with this one. Let this moronic lawsuit proceed and Pandora's Box is open to Californians. How so? Here's a few examples: Ford gets sued for selling Mustangs that aren't equines; MLB gets sued for not fielding Gabriel, Azrael, and Raphael in Anaheim; Sid Meyer gets sued for not bringing actual Civilization to California; Time-Life gets sued for publishing a book entitled The Forest that doesn't have a single tree let alone an actual forest inside its pages..........you can add your own from here. Ms Sugawara, fuck off.
Mr Hewell, don't worry I haven't forgotten you, YOU get a double fuck off. Because not only were you the lawyer who took up Ms Sugawara's case, but you also tried (unsuccessfully) to sue Kellogg's for a different client on the pretense that Fruit Loops didn't contain fruit. Your the kind of lawyer who needs the directions on a can of soup (Open can, pour contents into pot, heat, serve). Something tells me you'll be the head of some cushy partnership before long if you aren't already, so keep up the outstanding work, you'll make the board of the ABA before you're done I have NO doubt. Until then Mr Hewell, fuck off twice.
Here's hoping that both of you vote, that you both vote against any kind of water desalinization projects, and that when Lake Mead can no longer provide the power Ms Sugawara needs to not read a box; and when the afore mentioned lake can no longer water the golf course Mr Hewell frequents, you reunite and sue the almighty for not making enough snow in Utah and western Colorado. Fuck off you two.
p.s. Fuck off California, land of losers and lawyers.

Dear California part 2
Well probably many more than two, but two for me. It may be headed by a lawfirm from Alabama (insert quip here), but the horrific Taco Bell lawsuit is being filed on behalf of, yes, you guessed it, a Califuckingfornian. Taco Bell meat isn't 100% beef? It's less than 50% beef? O fucking no! Call out the National Guard! Poor dumbass discovered their Taco Bell diet isn't as nutritious as they'd hoped? Get the fuck over yourself you Californian POS, go to the gym, discover what sweat is, and you won't be so fucking fat. Maybe the teabaggers, errrr, tea party can fix this. Hmmmm, Taco Bell, part of a bigger corporation. Involvement would cost taxpayer dollars and offend a potential donor now that Citizens v FEC went through. O but wait, laywers and lawsuits. Most of us teabaggers, errrr, tea partiers are lawyers(just like the rest of Congress). Let's see what the public thinks first. Yeah right. Just more drivel from a nation full of drivel. Like I said, all of you are a lawsuit waiting to happen. And that last bit goes beyond the borders of Califuckingfornia.
Gamera fucking ROCKS
But promise me one thing....Promise me you WON'T be gentle !!!!

Short-Term Termination Without Deterring Long-Term Investment: A Theory of Debt and Buyouts
Alex Edmans
London Business School - Institute of Finance and Accounting; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)
February 9, 2011
Journal of Financial Economics 102(1), 81-101, October 2011
The option to terminate a manager early minimizes investor losses if he is unskilled. However, it also deters a skilled manager from undertaking efficient long-term projects that risk low short-term earnings. This paper demonstrates how risky debt can overcome this tension. Leverage concentrates equityholders' stakes, inducing them to learn the cause of low earnings. If they result from investment (poor management), the firm is continued (liquidated). Therefore, unskilled managers are terminated and skilled managers invest without fear of termination. Unlike models of managerial discipline based on total payout, dividends are not a substitute for debt -- they allow for termination upon non-payment, but at the expense of investment since they do not concentrate ownership and induce monitoring. Debt is dynamically consistent as the manager benefits from monitoring. In traditional theories, monitoring constrains the manager; here it frees him to invest.

The late gay rights leader Harvey Milk already has schools, streets and parks named in his honor. Soon, a U.S. Navy ship will join the list.
A Navy official said Friday that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus notified Congress earlier this month that a new fleet of replenishment oilers being built in San Diego will be named for Milk and five other civil and human rights icons.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because a public announcement is expected in the near future.
More than two decades before he became one of the first openly gay candidates elected to public office, Milk spent four years in the Navy, first as an enlisted man and then as an officer in San...

January 2, 2003, 05:29 PM
Im thinking of stepping up from my Homak "cabinet", to a "real" gunsafe that holds about 20 long guns. $1000 is my limit. Any suggestions as to brands/dealers to use? Any input would be appreciated.

My dealer has American Eagle safes made by Cannon, with full Cannon warrantee, for under $800, on a special promotion.
Don't know if it will hold twenty long guns, but I think it might hold even more than that, with the right interior set up.
Mine is set up for mostly handguns, but one shelf is cut out for long guns on both sides, if you don't use the sliding cover over half that shelf.
Also has the brass combo lock with three spoke handle that I prefer, though the electronic lock is available, but I think at extra cost?
I've yet to find a safe this nice, as inexpensive.
January 2, 2003, 09:56 PM
First off if you have a convention or big gunshow any safedealer would rather load it into the back of your truck than haul it back to the show room. You can purchase at beginning and let it set till tear down after the show.
Purchase the biggest you can afford - get the things that count - you can retro fit the inside yourself much cheaper than paying for the factory options. (particle board, fabric, glue & staple gun - examine it).
Check location/path where you want it just cause you have a spot that will hold it doesn't mean you can get it into that spot.
Remember Fire rating is important as most safe's will have to face a fire (the odds) than will face any professional burgler - and bolt the safe to the structure.
Don't leave tools that can attack your defense out where they can be used. Leave the welding tips in the safe etc.
Do your research about any company.
January 2, 2003, 09:59 PM
Yep, Bill; that's the one I've been ranting about.
Available as a "net" special here; for $712 plus drop-shipping.
Good folks.:D
January 2, 2003, 10:04 PM
My local Sam's club has a nice Winchester with adjustable interior for $800 something. It is metallic hunter green with fire protection, an S&G type II lock, and a lifetime warranty.

Get a good fire-rated safe ,Cannon ,Liberty.:)
Bill Adair
January 2, 2003, 10:48 PM
Yes, that's the one I have, but with the American Eagle logo.
Mine was $788 delivered, and I picked it off the show room floor, with no wait for it to be built.
January 3, 2003, 02:41 PM
Make sure that the safe is UL certified and fireproof to some degree. Hidden hinges are nice. Moste upper end safes will have a small hole in the bottom to fasten to a concrete slabe to prevent someone from just running down the street with it, so to speak. (and if you do see somebody running down the street with a fully loaded 750lb safe call the military, not the police)

If there's a Bass Pro Shops/Outdoor World close to you, check their sales. The Orlando store often runs specials.
Their Redhead Sportsman's fire safe is $799:
January 7, 2003, 02:54 PM
Fatelvis, I see you live in Joliet. On Rt. 30 just across the street from MegaSports is a good safe store. The guy's name is Rob and he's a pretty good guy to deal with. He has Champion safes in all different sizes.
He's also a Class 3 dealer and deals in all kinds of pre-ban rifles.
I bought my safe from him last year, probably bigger than the one you want. It holds 44 long guns if you need it to and weights 925# empty.
With delivery and set up and golden rod it came to around 1500 tax included. More than your budget but he has safes at all levels and sizes. Check him out.

So Chill
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 10
These shoes are the comfiest shoe I own and are very good for chilling and only chilling. With that being said they pretty much suck for everything else. The tread on the soles is smiley faces and doesn't grip anything. If there is any snow on the ground these shoes are worthless, they will slip and slide and soak up water. If you want a comfy shoes for walking around in warm dry weather these are what you want. These shoes are pretty much slippers you can wear around in public, if that is what you are into then you will love them. If you are looking for something to wear every day for all kinds of activities these are not the shoes you want.
Runs small
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 10
I normally order a size 10 in all saunks but these felt like 9s for sure. Also the shoe was very snug on the tops of my feet and actually made it difficult to put them on. I would not expect the canvas material to stretch very much, which is a quality I like about my hemp shoes. Overall I like this shoe and would order a size 11 if they were in stock however I will be returning this pair.

I own 5 pairs of Sanuks and these are much smaller than other pairs. The foot bed is the same size, but the material itself was much smaller. I could not even get my foot inside them.
my comfy shoes!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When I first got these shoes I was expecting them to be more comfortable. It wasnt till later that I found out they get very comfy after you wear them for a few weeks. They are now my everyday shoe and they are awesome! I usually wear down shoes pretty quick but these are surprisingly durable would defiantly recommend for anyone.
Best shoes ever.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
Hands down my favorite shoes that I've ever owned. The EVA foam in the soles is incredibly cushy and doesn't seem to really pack-out even after over 2 years of abuse. As lightweight, relatively inexpensive shoes, these things have held up through everything. I've waded in the ocean, trounced through streams, navigated across sharp rocks, and even spent full days of backpacking in these when my hiking boots are killing my feet. Not sure if I have a slightly newer model, but mine have an anti-microbial that completely kills odors despite frequent barefoot use and saltwater. In terms of fit, they run relatively true to size, although the canvas will stretch a bit over time. The canvas is also quite malleable, so it's easy to stuff these in a bag/backpack for travel.
All in all great shoes from a great company. Looking forward to getting a new pair when these finally wear out.

Try and find a more comfortable shoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
These shoes are extremely comfortable. If I had to rate the comfort from 1 being nails and 10 being a cloud. It would be upwards of 10. I'm on pair number three and about to buy pair number four because of the same problem I have with every pair they just fall to pieces. But with that said. I would still recommend these to anyone.
Relaxing Shoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
One of the most comfortable shoes to wear around on a lounge or lazy day. Great for casual wear as well.
Holy Santa Claus shit
I've worn everything from slippers to combat boots and these are by far the greatest things to ever be on my feet...
Most comfortable shoes ive ever owned. Love them so much. Recommended for only casual wear though. But on those relaxing days they are perfect.
sanuk donny shoe
most comfy shoe ever true to size my 11 is a 11 nice and wide for my fat piggies
Comfortable and convenient
I am not a big flip-flop person; however, when I needed something to bum around in at work, I decided to give these a try. They have lived up to the awesome reviews that have been written. They're comfortable, convenient, and appropriate for keeping it classy. Their durability is, hands down, better than any flip flop can offer.
As Advertised
All the reviews seem to agree these are great shoes. Love the sandal feel but shoe look. Own multiple pairs and will buy more in the future as well.
Awesome shoes (well, Sanuk markets them as sandals). Comfortable, stylish, lightweight. Just awesome. They have the lightweight, airy comfort of sandals but offer the protection (from dirt and such) of shoes. I am normally a size 15 but I got a size 14 and they fit perfectly. I'm not sure if this is indicative off all their sizes but it worked for me. You can't go wrong with buying a pair of these.
love them
super comfy, i wear these things all day every day
These are my second pair. My first pair i bought many years ago and i wore them until they were not wearable. I get lots of comments. I even bought my wife a pair about a year and a half ago when we were vacationing in FL.
I bought a pair on a whim 1/12 years ago in Newport Beach . I'm 64 years old and thought was buying out of my league!
I lost them a year ago by putting them in the back of my pickup after golf. they are so light, they were gone when I got home!
I just recieved a new pair today, and had forgotten how wonderful they were- ordered another pair today!
Have a pair of rastas for knockin' around and boardrooms for work.
Bought 2 pair of donnys at Christmas. Only shoes I wear. Different colors for different looks. Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Size 9.5, I bought size 10. Fit perfect.

Which sandal/shoe is the best for longboarding, walking a beach town, and an active lifestyle like that? standard, sidewalk surfers (Donny, vegabond)? recomendations?
Sanuks my man, i longboard in these everyseason. good grip and good for stopping. They will tear up the soles if u stop to much but sanuks is where it is at.

I just got these sandals recently and I was wondering, how does the bottom sole hold up durability-wise? Is it durable enough for streetwear like sidewalks and such?
Absolutely. The Sanuk Donny is classified as their "Sidewalk Surfer" footwear line. These are made out of a durable canvas upper, attached to a legitimate EVA sandal foot bed. They are going to wear like a normal pair of flip flops, but with a shoe look.

how much to ship 1 pair to spain (europe)?
Just put the shoes in the shopping cart. From there it goes to another screen where you can determine your shipping options. There you can figure how much you would like to spend on shipping.

i wear size 9.5 probably give or take
what should i get 10 or 9?
I would say a 10 just to be safe. A 9.5 for this shoe is most likely built on the same size sole as the 10.

Looking for men's houseshoe slipper with leather type sole which is non marking on wood floors. Acorn used to make these, but cannot find them now.
Yeah I looked into it all over the site could not find any without a rubber sole. However I did find out that the rubber soles on Acorns are non-marking. So you could still get a pair of those and be good to go.
so, could i wear these in the water??? or...
so, could i wear these in the water??? or will that not work?
but it gets a bit slippery
like a water shoe? no. but you could wear them in the rain... but they would get wet, which is obvious. i feel like the foam would have issue if you went wading in these repeatedly
Write your answer here...i've worn mine in the lake and the ocean with no problems. didn't wreck mine at all. little slippery on the inside (but your foot is contained in the shoes so does not move around) but shoe grip is not compromised
I've been caught in the rain in mine a few times, They're completely fine in the rain. Sometimes the shoe can get a bit slippy inside, and occasionally on muddy surfaces I found can be a bit slippery too after the shoes are worn in.
I bought the 12 and they are really tight....
I bought the 12 and they are really tight. I need the 13. Can you hold them for me while I send back the 12? My order #5891774
Unfortunately it's not possible to hold them. What you can do is order the 13's and at the same time send the 12's back so there's not much overlap.

4 average noise level based on 1 review(s)
Leggett & Platt unveiled Brio, their newest line of adjustable beds/bases in mid-2013. These are designed to be considerably less expensive than other models of Leggett & Platt adjustable beds. The target market is people who need an adjustable base and prefer the quality which comes with a name brand, but are limited in their budgets. Prices vary by retailer, but the lowest model of this new line, the Brio 20, sells for less than $1,000.
The three introductory models of the Brio brand are Brio 20, Brio 30, and Brio 60. Each of these adjustable foundations is rated at 550 lbs. total maximum weight. All of them can lift both the head and the feet. The four standard positions are flat, head only, feet only, and zero gravity.
Brio 20 - The Brio 20 is the entry level model of the Leggett & Platt Brio Adjustable Bases line. It is also the lightest: the profile is described as "slim design and low profile." It has a wired remote and carries a 1-year warranty. The available sizes are Twin XL, Queen, and California King.
Brio 30 - The middle model of the Leggett and Platt Brio series is the Brio 30. It has a "full boxspring profile." The wireless remote is wired. It carries a 1-2-20 warranty. It is available in Twin XL, Full XL, Queen, and California King sizes.
Brio 60 - The top model of tis new Leggett & Platt brand is the Brio 60. Like the Brio 30, it has a "full boxspring profile." But it does have more than the other models. The wireless remote has one memory button and a "Flat" button. It also has a dual massage. Additionally, it has wallhugger engineering (which means that the head remains in the same orizonal position as it is raised and lowered). The Brio 60 has a 1-2-20 warranty.

My second pick of who to watch in 2011 is Gilles Simon. Gillou spent most of 2010 struggling to overcome a knee injury. He was sidelined from the Australian Open and the clay court swing. He was able to put in a decent showing in the brief grasscourt season, getting to the Quarters at Eastbourne (l. to Llodra) and the 3rd round of Wimbledon (l. to Murray). His US hardcourt season was decent as well, most notably taking down a mono-stricken Roddick in Washington. He lost to Nadal in straights at the US Open, but he did get this flippin cute shirt for his newborn son
Simon had a pretty strong indoor hardcourt swing, including picking up the most awesome looking trophy in the ATP at Metz.
Not sure if Simon can ever break back into the top 10 again, but if he can stay healthy. there's no reason he can't be a solid top 20 or better.
Yup, Novak, you're right. He totally looks like R.Pattz...pretty...

Skip to comments.Television bounty hunter Dog Chapman set free on bail in Hawaii
Posted on 09/16/2006 10:11:39 AM PDT by Hannibal Hamlin
click here to read article
Then explain to the forum how Mexico pays the retirements of our elected officials. I'm all ears.
Actually, it was the 4th ID that caught Hussein.
I'm not necessarily a Dog fan, but let's look at the scale here. If a Mexican National committed a burglary, an auto theft, or a forgery, and fled back to Mexico, I doubt that the US would waste the time and effort to get him back. All Dog did was to apprehend a felon that was wanted in the United States. Luster was then taken into custody by the Mexican authorities, and THEN returned to the United States. Luster was not even a MEXICAN citizen. So, why is the US GOVERNMENT wasting the resources to extradite someone who apprehended an AMERICAN fugitive in a foreign country? There was no theft or fraud, and no violent assault. Sure, it was against "Mexican law" but the scale of the violation does not warrant intervention by the US Government!
Senor, the Mexican "Justice" system is far more corrupt then the United States.
You've eaten to many tequila worms amigo.
We must remember that bounty hunters are not law officers. There have been horror stories where these cop wannabes break into people's houses illegaly. One shows up at my door and he enters my home at his own risk.
You explained what you meant and it's pointless to dispute your clarification, so I appologize.
Beyond that, it's also pointless to dispute that our government is currently in the pocket of big business. Whether direct payments are taking place or not, and I tend to disagree that they are on a large scale, some people do retire to private sector jobs that are unseemly in light of their former reponsibilities. On the other hand, some people are just full of it, and haven't a clue what they are doing with regard to our nation's future.
I tend to beleive there is a lot more of the latter than we care to admit. People are absolute fools. They learn nothing from history and think the same tactics of the past that failed miserably, will somehow turn out better this time around. Wrong!
Sorry to have given you such a hard time. I should have asked fore clarification and then discussed the matter with you.
I agree - it does not warrant intervention by the US government - but Attorney General Gonzalez does not agree. But as other posters have commented, Dog cut down the money (mordida) tree by arresting moneybags Luster. Now the Mexican officials who were looking to extract mucho bucks from Luster want Dog back. Why? If Dog was poor, they wouldn't want him back. When Dog returns from Mexico (and after paying mucho $ mordida) he will be poorer.
A saying among Mexican politicians is: "A politician who is poor is a poor politician". Dog (and his relatives) will soon be contributing some much needed retirement cash to Mexican Federales and politicians, curtesy of Attorney General Gonzalez.
If the justice systems of Mexico and the United States were truly equal, I might look at this and be less apprehensive. But I know that any comparison of the two systems is like comparing a doctor in America who tries to treat AIDS with medicines with a witch doctor in Africa who advises his patients to have sex with virgins as a cure for AIDS.
This type of incident gives me great angst about our system. To the prosecutors, government officials, and judicial officials who have aided and abetted the prosecutions and/or persecutions of people like Limbaugh, Gonzales, Libby, DeLay, or Chapman I have a name for you too. You are not wise and learned men of the law, you are Princes of Debauchery. And damn all you worthless scum to hell.
Well, the good news for Dog is that after he leaves prison in Mexico he will feel great. As Demaris points out in his book, anyone released from a Mexican hellhole rejoices and feels like he is in Heaven, which he is compared to where he just left. Besides, if you complain and make trouble, who knows when you will fall into the hands of the Mexican Federales again, yes?
The Dog marathon is on A&E right now. Watch and learn something, Dane. You need to get a life and do something besides parrot the Mexican consulate and play both sides of the law-and-order fence.
I've never watch him before, but this thread has gotten me curious, so I just flipped it on...thanks for the tip.
He looks like he knows his way around a bottle, doesn't he??
Great point! One need only read Dane's posts and the threads they are on to see that he merely likes to stir the pot. He is NOT pro-laws he is simply pro-illegal immigrants. Dog has done a lot of good things for a lot of people and he tries to reach through to what others view as human garbage and help them redeem themselves, as he did. That is why he is respected and successful at what he does.
This Mexican fiasco smells to high heaven - I agree with those who think the Mexicans were only upset because they were probably on the take to look the other way from Luster.
My husband grew up with a drug addict of a mother and her heavy using friends. He told me earlier today that he didn't like watching Dog's show (I've never seen it), because he thinks they are all tweakers (meth) based on their behavior.
Why are you so pro-Illegal immigration and Pro-Putin???
LOL - I'm sure that is true. I have a feeling that dog would feel much better not having to go in the first place.
Ah, no worries then.
Glad we are all on the same page now.
Later, Dr. Z =-)
Dog will soon by dead if incarcerated in Mexico. He'd be targeted by "I'm tougher than you" types in jails just about anywhere in the world but Mexican jails are notorious for violence.
Sounds like there's folks deliberately seeing to it that people get prosecuted for doing what's right. Many, many, many prayers and blessings to Mr. Chapman and his family...
Me neither, Im sure its closer to 99.97%...
And you may be right.
Did you see the A&E special tonight? I am so furious!!! This is really frightening. The Mexican gov't spits in our faces every chance they get by encouraging illegal immigration yet our stupid gov't cooperates with the corrupt gov't of Mexico regarding a true American hero who put away a vicious serial rapist. This is absolutely horrible.
I just saw an article wherein Fox was quoted as saying that Mexico was ready to start extraditing far more accused felons to the USA. Will post when I see it again...

Duane 'Dog' Chapman hopes to avoid extradition to Mexico - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14963188/
Free Dog, bump
Death penalty issue
Capital punishment is illegal here, and a 1978 extradition treaty with the United States allows Mexico to deny extradition if a person faces the death penalty in another country.
In November, Mexicos Supreme Court removed an obstacle that had prevented many of the countrys most notorious criminals from facing U.S. justice when it overturned a 4-year ban on the extradition of suspects facing life in prison.
Mexico last year extradited 41 suspected criminals to the United States, up from 34 in 2004; 31 in 2003; 25 in 2002; 17 in 2001; and 12 in 2000, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The nation's first offshore well struck oil in 1947, 10 miles south of the coast below Morgan City. It occurred amid a bitter debate over whether the state or federal government should get royalties from offshore drilling, which continues to this day.
Through boom, bust and boom again, the race for oil is on in the Gulf of Mexico, pushing to unprecedented depths in what has been called the last frontier of American oil exploration.
The Kermac No. 16 well stood in almost 20 feet of water, 10 miles at sea, the first well beyond the horizon. It came in on Nov. 14 at 40 barrels per hour. Kerr-McGee gambled $450,000 on the well. Today, it can cost $1 billion or more to bring new oil to the surface from 7,000 feet below the sea.
In the early 20th century, both state and federal governments granted leases and got royalties. In 1947 and 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court gave all offshore rights to the federal government. The "Tidelands" controversy continued, becoming a big part of the 1952 presidential election. Congress in 1953 gave states royalties out to three miles offshore, but farther out belong to the nation. Not until 1960 did the Supreme Court make the law final.
In 1949, the Truman administration pitched a deal to Louisiana Democrats. The states would get two-thirds of royalties out to three miles, and 37.5 percent in federal waters. But Plaquemines powerbroker Leander Perez said, "No deal." He hated Truman for his antisegregation stance and thought the Republicans would deliver more after the 1952 election.
The oil industry was already moving into deeper waters, and Louisiana got nothing for Perez's stubbornness. Not until after Hurricane Katrina did Congress agree to share any federal royalties. By 2017, Louisiana will get 37.5 percent of royalties, with some caps. It is a worse deal than Perez passed on in 1949.
After the 1980's Oil Bust, some declared the Gulf played out. But as prices rose in the late 1990s, a remarkable turnaound occurred. Technology allowed for deeper and deeper wells. The deep Gulf became one the world's most active plays. The tragic 2010 BP oil spill put a temporary stop to new drilling, but new
leases are being sold and new permits given for some of the
most remote drilling yet.
Deepwater drilling created the need for a massive on-shore infrastructure in south Louisiana. A maze of 25,000 miles of pipelines brings the oil ashore. Helicopters bring workers to platforms. Thousands of workers build rigs and crew boats. And the nation's only deepwater oil port, the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, brings overseas oil to Louisiana refineries on supertankers too big to navigate the Mississippi River.
Tomorrow: Carlos Marcello and organized crime.

Don't halt funding for Wiley Pavilion
After reading The News article titled "Stadium funding is on the table," regarding the possibility of eliminating funding to maintain Johnnie B. Wiley Amateur Athletic Pavilion, I had an instant reaction of surprise and sadness. How ironic that this article was published on the heels of one of the most wonderful, empowering and fun sporting events I have attended in many, many years.
It was the first track meet of the season for Buffalo Public School fifth- and sixth-graders and it took place at Wiley. Students from 10 schools were represented, literally hundreds of children. In addition to the hundreds of children, there were hundreds of proud spectators – parents, siblings, grandparents and friends. We all stood out in the rain for two hours and 15 minutes cheering on not only our own children but all of the children competing. Most students attending public schools in Buffalo do not have a lot of opportunities to participate in sporting events at facilities as beautiful and well maintained as Johnnie B. Wiley. What a special treat it was for these children. The kids knew how special it was; we all did.
In the many years I have been a Buffalo Public School parent, it was my first time at Wiley watching one of my own children. The excitement that we felt as spectators was matched and exceeded by the students, who knew and appreciated that it was a special place. Their smiling faces, cheers and camaraderie said it all. I am hopeful that the funding for maintaining Wiley will stay in the budget for 2013-2014.

New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead announced the kickoff of CASA Jefferson's fall recruitment at a gathering of CASA volunteers in Gretna today. The "draft party'' will be Sept. 9 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Buffalo Wild Wings, 3434 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie.
Morstead and his wife, Lauren, along with Lauren "Fleurty Girl'' Thom, will be at the party to recruit CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in the Jefferson Parish judicial system. The party will include free food and an autograph session with Saints players.
"There's so many kids today that don't have that,'' he said. "I don't think any child should be alone in their developmental years."
Panel member Janna Perry-Holloway was placed in 33 different foster homes in her teens, and she is now a CASA volunteer herself. She said CASA advocates are needed because they can give foster children more direct attention and help.
She said that when she was in foster care, "there was a disconnect,'' even though she had foster care case workers and attorneys helping with her case. Foster care case workers have many children under their care and can be overburdened, she said.
"It's a really confusing process when you're in it,'' she said of being a foster child.
"CASA is that person for that child looking out for a child and their best interests.''
Wesley Cuyler, general manager of the Buffalo Wild Wings where the draft party will be held, is a new CASA volunteer. He said he came from a single-parent household, and was fortunate to have a mentor guide him in his late teens.
"It's time for me to give back,'' he said.
CASA Executive Director Cynthia Chauvin said the need is great for male volunteers, because for many children in the CASA program, all of their role models, such as teachers and social workers, are women. Only 20 percent of CASA volunteers are men.
"When we get a man, we keep him,'' she said.
CASA currently is serving 185 children with 118 volunteers, with 40 children on the waiting list for an advocate.
Patrick Taylor Academy senior Mary Beth Oliver, 17, came to the event, along with CASA volunteer Mary North, who recently took on a case involving a family of five children. Oliver is interning with North as part of her senior project at Patrick Taylor. Although too young to be a CASA -- volunteers must be at least 21 -- there are ways young people can help. Chauvin said high school students coordinated the recent school supply drive for CASA children, for example.
Thom also said young people can use social media to get the word out about the need for more advocates.
"I have a heart for serving other people,'' Oliver said.
CASA is looking for others who have a heart for serving children also. For more information, call 504.533.8757, or visit www.casajefferson.com.
