Silver Age Comic Books
In October 1956, issue number four of "Showcase" comics included a story called "Whirlwind Adventures of the Fastest Man Alive – the Flash!" With this reinvention of a Golden Age comic-book character called the Flash, the Silver Age of comics had begun.
At the time, the comic-book industry was suffering from two major setbacks. First, World War II was over, leaving writers and illustrators with a much smaller pool of stock villains to choose from. Second, Frederick Wertham's book, "Seduction of the Innocent," echoed accusations aired at a Senate subcommittee hearing on juvenile delinquency in 1954—in that famous hearing, comic books had been blamed for the rise in deviancy among adolescents and teens.
With the success of the Flash, however, superheroes experienced a rush of new life. Another Golden Age hero, Green Lantern, was resurrected, and Marvel—propelled by the creative output of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and others—produced enduring characters like the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Dr. Doom, and the Amazing Spider-Man.
Unlike the hardy, forever-optimistic heroes of the Golden Age, these characters battled enemies both inside their heads and out on the streets—their human frailties helped readers identify with them. The Silver Age was also contemporaneous with the space race against Russia, and the genre's fascination with plots and characters that revolved around science—or some imitation of it—spawned characters like the X-Men and settings like Earth-2.
Many comic book collectors peg the end of the Silver Age at 1970, when Jack Kirby left Marvel for DC Comics.

in this polluted USA. I plan on taking this one for the rest of my life. Zeolite is a good way to get the heavy metals (like mercury, aluminum, cadmium, lead) out. This brand seems to be dedicated and is not pricey like some zeolite suppliers are.

I had several dental fillings removed at once. Bad idea! And the dentist used NO precautions! Immediately that night I felt awful. If I would have known in advance about these problems, I would have purchased this product to have at the time of the removal (and made sure the dentist followed proper, safe protocol). I also doubled my probiotics and fiber. It really helps. It greatly relieved my symptoms AND greatly reduced the inflammation in my abdomen that I've had for years.
Good addition to a cleansing/detoxing routine

Posted by MrJellybean on Apr 03, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I recently got my amalgam fillings removed so I added this along with chlorella and some other supplements to help with the detoxing and chelation process and it all seems to be working very well. My headaches are down, digestion is great and my skin is looking better daily. I just feel better all around and while I can't guarantee that this is what's doing it, it's the latest addition to my regimen and it seems to have spurred a better overall sense of well being in just a few days. I've rarely had a supplement yield results this quickly so I'm glad to have tried it and it's definitely staying as part of my regimen.

With Jay Leno off the Tonight Show, he has all the time in the world to focus on his passion for cars and can even travel a little. Leno teamed up with two-time Dakar Rally winner Nani Roma to jump and slide a Mini Countryman All4 racing truck around the dunes in Death Valley, CA.
The Mini-branded trucks are highly modified for off-road duty. They have won the Dakar Rally consecutively in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and even took a 1-2-3 finish in the most recent running. The specialized Minis are propelled over the dunes by a BMW-sourced, diesel engine with a six-speed sequential gearbox and heavy-duty all-wheel drive system with a locking center differential.
It is amusing to see the big smile on Leno's face, and Roma appears a little worried while Jay is driving. If this is what to expect from the post-Tonight Show Jay Leno's Garage videos, then things are only getting better from an already fantastic series. Scroll down to watch Leno and Roma take a Mini through the dunes.

In the tradition of The Great Escape, Valkyrie is a war movie full of famous faces, including Kenneth Branagh, Terence Stamp, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard. (The lesser-known David Bamber is very good as Hitler, hunched and cracking under pressure.) The film's gravity is offset a bit by the fun of seeing all these actors in a factually-based slice of history, and by a few, interesting stylistic flourishes on Singer's part, including the peculiarly unsettling image of a mosquito sizzled to death in close-up. --Tom Keogh

GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 15: Alexander Steen #20 of the St. Louis Blues leans in to a face off during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on October 15, 2009 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Blues 3-2 in overtime. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
By now, you've probably watched Alex Steen's short-handed winner a few dozen times. You've also probably memorized the call from John Kelly and Darren Pang by virtue of hitting the replay button on the video countless times. What you may have missed was the equally memorable radio call from Chris Kerber and Kelly Chase. Listen to Kerber's call here. The best part is that while most Blues fans were dreading a lengthy PK, Kerber pointed out that he'd "take a short-handed goal." Kerber's comment comes at the 0:32 mark of the video, roughly 32 seconds before Jonathan Quick handed Alexander Steen the puck and sent Blues fans home happy.

EA has released a new video featuring their upcoming Wii-exclusive SSX Blur, but this gameplay video isn't all about showing off the shinyz. Rather, the focus is on the franchise's new dedication to the Wii control scheme, and offers a nice (if not in depth) look at how some of the high-flying, snow-spraying acrobatics will be performed. Even better news -- in motion, the game seems to look better than it did in stills. See for yourself after the jump.

Four months after the shooting rampage in Newtown, Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Thursday signed into law what legislators have touted as the strictest gun control package of any state in the nation.
The legislation, passed on bipartisan votes of 26-10 in the Senate and 105-44 in the House, will break new ground by creating a dangerous weapons offender registry to track those convicted of gun crimes, and it bans the sale of new high-capacity ammunition magazines, and requires gun owners to register with the state any high-capacity magazines they already own.
It also strengthens the state's existing ban on military-style, semiautomatic rifles by adding more than 100 additional models to the list, and it immediately requires universal background checks on all gun sales, including private sales and those at gun shows.
"We have come together in a way that relatively few places in our nation have demonstrated an ability to do," Mr. Malloy said at a bill-signing ceremony Thursday.
Mr. Malloy also urged Congress to pass federal gun controls.
"When 92 percent of Americans agree that every gun sale should be subject to a background check, there is no excuse" for congressmen to buck the will of the people they represent, he said.
The Maryland state legislature on Thursday also signed off on its own sweeping gun control package that bans so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, among other provisions. It goes beyond Connecticut's law, at least in part, by including fingerprint licensing requirements on future handgun purchases.
Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is expected to sign the legislation, said it strikes "a balance between protecting the safety of law enforcement and our children, and respecting the traditions of hunters and law-abiding citizens to purchase handguns for self-protection."
Both states' laws also address the issue of mental health; the Connecticut legislation provides $15 million for school safety infrastructure, among other school safety and mental health provisions.
Connecticut Senate President Pro Tempore Donald E. Williams Jr., Brooklyn Democrat, said that every day in America, children are killed in cities, "without the attendant publicity" of Newtown, or other mass shootings like Virginia Tech in 2007, when gunman Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people before killing himself, or Aurora, Colo., where 12 people were killed and about 60 wounded last July at a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Twenty children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14.
Both gun rights and gun control advocates descended on the state Capitol in Hartford Wednesday to express their support of — or opposition to — the new restrictions.
Toward the start of the Senate debate that went on for approximately six hours Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney, New Haven Democrat, prompted murmurs from the audience when he said there was nothing in the bill that would infringe upon peoples' Second Amendment rights. After the Senate passed the measure at approximately 6:40 p.m. Wednesday, the House took up the bill at about 7 p.m. and passed it in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
"I pray today's bill — the most far-reaching gun safety legislation in the country — will prevent other families from ever experiencing the dreadful loss that the 26 Sandy Hook families have felt," said House Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz, Berlin Democrat.
But Sen. Anthony Guglielmo, Stafford Republican, said he couldn't "connect the dots" between gunman Adam Lanza and ordinary, law-abiding citizens.
"You're punishing the wrong people. It's that simple," he said. "The premise is just wrong."
Mr. Guglielmo also said that 5,000 jobs are connected directly or indirectly with the firearms industry in Connecticut, and said businesses threatening to leave or potential boycotts of Connecticut gun products as a result of the legislation would hammer the state's economy.
"You never want to trade money for blood, but there is an economic component and I think if you don't mention it, it's avoiding part of the equation," he said.
"I understand we have to do something," he continued, offering, for example, mandatory minimum sentences for straw purchasers. "So basically, I guess, the problem is I can't connect the dots between Adam Lanza and the good guys. So I think we need to do something, but I [just] wish we would do something that does good, not something that just feels good."
The Newtown-based National Sports Shooting Foundation, the trade organization for the guns and ammunition industry, said in a statement that the group will be studying the law carefully for a possible court challenge.
"We share the goal of wanting to make Connecticut safer for our citizens following the unspeakable tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School," the statement reads. "In the end, however, public safety has not been enhanced and the unintended consequences of behind-closed-doors lawmaking will cause considerable confusion until the General Assembly corrects its mistakes."
The legislature rejected a host of proposed amendments, including provisions that would carve out shotguns and shotgun shell purchases from the bill's requirements and one that would allow a maximum ammunition capacity of 17 bullets for handguns and pistols, rather than the 10-bullet threshold in the law.

Just found another tip on another forum:-
"This is a pretty simple trick that sometimes works with laptops.
Remove the power supply, and then take out the battery. Hold down the power button for 15 to 30 seconds...then put the battery back in and plug the power supply in. Now press the power button again"
Just may work.

OPM director applies management skills to creating a more effective federal workforce
"OPM publishes performance plan"
Linda Springer is one of those rare political appointees who never worked for a political candidate and never donated money to a presidential campaign.
In September 2002, President Bush nominated her to become controller of the Office of Management and Budget. She served in that position from March 2003 to January 2005. Two months later, Bush nominated her for director of the Office of Personnel Management, the position she holds today.
"Even though I'm a political appointee," Springer said, "I didn't know anyone in the [Bush] administration. No one knew me. I was a complete unknown to anyone here in Washington."
Springer knows that her story is unusual. She didn't try to hide her then-lack of knowledge of how political Washington, D.C., works when she applied for a job in the Bush administration because of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
"I'd never worked in government before, and I hadn't considered doing so, but that changed things for me," she said.
Recounting her naïveté, Springer said she sought a federal job by sending letters to the congressional leaders from her home state of Pennsylvania. "I didn't realize that the mail wasn't getting through at that time," she said. Because of anthrax threats, congressional mail was delayed until postal inspectors could ensure that it was safe for delivery.
"So I had a couple of false starts, but eventually I managed to get on the presidential personnel radar screen," she said.
A former actuary, Springer didn't need much time on the job as OPM's director to realize that the most significant event she would deal with was the retirement of federal employees born between 1946 and 1964 — the baby boomers.
"We will have vacancies to deal with at a higher rate than we have had in the past," she said, adding that expecting the federal government to deal with that challenge without making significant changes is unrealistic.
"We've got to be creative," she said. "Our job is to make sure that agencies are open-minded and prepared so that they can maintain an effective civilian workforce. That will be our biggest and No. 1 job."
Springer has begun speaking publicly about the possibility of having employees who retire come back into the federal government on a part-time basis.
The wave of federal retirements, which will peak between 2008 and 2010, will force OPM and federal agencies to make succession plans, not only at the executive level but throughout agencies, Springer said. As a former insurance industry executive, Springer is comfortable talking about risk and using risk analysis in succession planning.
Analyzing risk means finding answers to questions such as, "What's the risk to the organization if [a] position stays open?" she said. "Who in the organization do we start to get trained to cover those responsibilities? Are they things that we need to continue to do? Is this a time that we can consider doing things differently?"
Others who work with Springer say she is conscientious about communication with groups that will be most affected by such changes. "I would say we have a good working relationship with her," said Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union. "She respects NTEU as the representative of employees and is willing to talk to us."
Springer does have a few regrets about coming to Washington and taking a position that robs her of most of her leisure time.
"I'd like to play a little more golf," she said. "I'd like to do a little more gardening once I'm not living in an apartment." And she would enjoy having more time to play her cello. "I used to be in a pretty good, semi-pro type of orchestra, and I'd like to get back to that someday," she said. "The Philadelphia area has good opportunities for that."
Had her life taken different turns, music could have been a career, she said. "You wouldn't have seen me down here with the National Symphony Orchestra, but I don't think I would have starved to death," she said.
Considering everything that has happened since she tried to figure out how Washington worked, Springer said, choosing a career in management turned out to be the right decision for her.
Past accomplishments: As controller of the Office of Management and Budget, she reduced the time necessary to complete end-of-year federal financial reporting from five months to 45 days. She tightened internal financial controls and instituted a comprehensive assessment of all federal expenditures for improper payments.
Professional history: She has more than 25 years' experience in the insurance and financial services industry. She worked at Provident Mutual Life Insurance from 1992 to 2002, rising from actuary to senior vice president and controller. From 1979 to 1992, she worked at Penn Mutual Life Insurance, rising from an actuarial position to vice president and product manager.
Organizations: She has held various positions as member, director and advisory board
member of the Haddonfield Symphony in Haddonfield, N.J., and served as a Sunday school teacher at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Residence: Lancaster County, Pa. During the week, she lives in an apartment in Washington, D.C.
Family: Single, no pets. "I like to go to my nieces' soccer and hockey games," she said.
Education: She earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa., in 1977.
Management tip: "Be a people person," she said. "Get out from behind the desk."

The pope's muffled voiceFebruary 20,2013There were reports over the weekend that cardinals might tweak the rules and begin the conclave to choose Pope Benedict XVI's successor sooner than March 15, which had been the earliest date mentioned.
That would be a blessing. Already in the American news media it's all pope all the time, a tsunami of papal coverage, and until a new pope is named, the tide won't quit. You'd be forgiven for concluding that he'll actually have significant sway over Catholics in this country.
He won't, not over the majority of them, not in any immediate sense. And it's worth pausing, amid this hoopla, to remember that. In large parts of the Roman Catholic world, certainly in North America and Western Europe, most Catholics don't feel any particular debt or duty to the self-appointed caretakers of their church. They don't feel bound by the pope's interpretation of doctrine or moral commands. And many regard him and other Vatican officials as totems, a royal family of dubious relevance, partly because these officials have often shown greater concern for the church's reputation than for the needs, and wounds, of the people in the pews.
The blanket coverage of matters papal is deceptive, a function to some degree of habit and convenience. We in the media love the clear-cut drama of transitions. They're easy to grasp and frame. And in the case of the Vatican, they come with majestic visual backdrops, colorfully costumed characters: a pageant extraordinaire. It looks splendid on the front page and even better on the nightly news.
We traffic in celebrities, and the pope qualifies as one. We also relish the narrative of any winner-take-all contest in which there are multiple hopefuls, murky dynamics and a familiar brand of suspense. This informs the way we approach presidential elections, focusing on the horse race. It explains all the cook-offs, the sing-offs, the analyses of the face-off between "Argo" and "Lincoln" for best picture. The papal selection process is in one sense "Top Chef" without the cooking. It's the ecclesiastical Oscars. It fits a mold, regardless of import.
There's import, certainly. The Roman Catholic Church is a worldwide organization with enormous financial resources; with a network of charities and agencies that provide crucial help to the downtrodden; and with parishes in which the prayerful nurture their relationship with God. And the pope is its CEO, ultimately responsible for where the money flows and for the placement and policing of its staff. The policing part matters, as the child sexual abuse crisis made agonizingly clear.
But the trend over the last half-century has been for the prayerful in this country to feel less invested in that organization, less attached to its traditions. Polls chart a decline in churchgoing among American Catholics and a robust disobedience.
A 2011 survey published in the National Catholic Reporter showed that while 73 percent of American Catholics described their belief in Jesus' resurrection as "very important" to them, only 30 percent described the teaching authority of the Vatican that way, and only 21 percent characterized an all-male, celibate priesthood in those terms. More than 60 percent supported the ordination of women as priests.
When it comes to divorce, premarital sex, abortion and more, Catholics routinely break with the church's edicts. Pew polling last year found that more than half of American Catholics support same-sex marriage, which church leaders vociferously oppose. This particular renunciation of church teaching travels beyond the United States. Spain, Portugal and Argentina have legalized same-sex marriage; all have populations that are more than 75 percent Catholic, at least nominally.
A Gallup poll last year showed that 82 percent of American Catholics had no qualms about birth control. Church leaders do, and during the presidential campaign they railed against President Barack Obama's health care reform for mandating insurance coverage of contraception. He won the Catholic vote anyway.
Andrew Cuomo certainly doesn't sweat the church's ire the way his father did. Three decades ago Mario Cuomo felt the need for a major address at the University of Notre Dame to explain the discrepancy between his support for abortion rights and the church's anti-abortion position. Without any such hand-wringing, his son is plotting to shore up abortion rights in New York. Andrew Cuomo also lobbied for, and signed, New York's gay marriage law. Divorced, he lives outside of wedlock with Sandra Lee. There's been no Notre Dame soul-baring about any of this.
Does the pope fully appreciate this drift? Every Sunday, he looks from his window onto St. Peter's Square and sees adoring, rapt masses. Everywhere he goes, traffic parts and cameras follow him. But here in the U.S., the Catholics watching closely are fewer and fewer. They're Christian. They're caring. They're moral. But they have minds and wills of their own, and no conclave will change that.

This review is from: Vulcan PH1501 Steel Platform Cart
Pros: None so far...
Cons: Extremely poor packaging results in box opening during shipment and parts becoming lost. I cannot attach the wheels because of four missing bolts & washers.
Other Thoughts: The manufacturer should take batter care to insure that ALL of the included parts cannot become dislodged and/or lost during shipment. On the other hand, the Newegg seller (Vanguard Wholesale) should have enough sense to package the item securely rather than shipping it in the flimsy box it was wearing when it came off the shipping container from China. The package was delivered by FedEx all beat up, with the ends taped closed (it had OBVIOUSLY been popped open by the shipping abuse) and loose parts missing. Now I have to either deal with a RMA (and probably lost $$ for return shipping) or I have to go to the local hardware store to buy replacements for the missing parts. Oh, and the included "instructions" don't say what size or thread pitch the bolts are, so it's guess work when I get there.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Banner Matte Riflescope
Pros: Good price, good optical quality, and yes - it's available at Newegg.
Cons: None yet
Other Thoughts: Grant H.: The focus ring is NOT for focusing on the target, it's for focusing the reticle to your visual acuity (so you can use it without your eyeglasses). Therefore, if you use it to focus on the target, it WILL make the reticle out of focus.
The six steps to firing the shot: 1) sight alignment 2) sight picture 3) respiratory pause 4a) focus your eye on the front sight post or reticle 4b) focus your mind on keeping the sight post or reticle on the [out of focus] target 5) squeeze the trigger 6) follow through - take a mental snapshot of where the sights were when the shot went off and hold the trigger back 'til the bullet has left the barrel.
So I give 5 eggs to compensate somewhat for Grant's lack of understanding.
This review is from: NEW Simmons 22 MAG 4x32 Rimfire Riflescope w/ Rings, Truplex Reticle, Black
Pros: n/a
Cons: Multiple problems with the reticle on this series scope. I know three people who own one, and I own one, and all four of us have experienced similar problems with the reticles. On one, the horizontal crosshair has cropped to the bottom of the scope. On two others, the vertical crosshair has canted to one side. And on mine the windage adjustment is bottomed out all the way to the left and the bullet impact at target hasn't changed.
Other Thoughts: Do a Google search for complaints or problems with this series Simmons scope. Then invest your money in something else.READ FULL REVIEW

One of my favorite UK chanteuse's is back!
Jessie Ware's new single "Say You Love Me" proves how adept she is vocally and with her pen. The singer/songwriter voice has been heard on many other tracks, but honestly, her last album in 2012 was a masterpiece of melodic voicing and knowing your talent and gift. I'm always perking up when I hear her voice on a track. And "Say You Love Me" doesn't disappoint either.
There's no way to deny her talent as a singer because there's not much else to focus on. The song builds into a fervor pitch as it goes along, yet teases your emotions throughout the verses and the chorus, and then reaches a climactic point that has you simply waving your hand in the air. Jessie's amazing. Britain is truly a musical melting pot, and soul is not classifiable around race. This song slips into an ending with a group of voices which would of course be classified as a "Gospel" feel even.
Her new album is out October 21st here in the States. I look forward to hearing it!

A Luxury Kenmare Residence Offering Quality Hospitality for up to Seven Guests

Kenmare townhome description
This gracious townhouse contains 1540 square feet of living area, complete with a full length deck overlooking the River Finnehy, with a fine garden between. An ancient, beautifully designed drystone bridge, known as the Cromwell Bridge, is in full view of the property. A carefully tended Druid stone circle is around the corner and up toward the end of Market Street, a pleasant ten minute walk rewarded with quiet moments contemplating the ancient stonework and the hardy folk who built it.
The property boasts solid Burmese teak woodwork and wall to wall wool carpeting throughout. Guests enjoy unlimited free phone use to America and throughout the UK and Ireland, along with Sky TV in the lounge, dining room, and the master suite as well. Two sculptured marble fireplaces provide warmth and comfort, one with classic Liscannor stone hearth. You'll enjoy power showers, built-in hair dryers, and a gas grill on the deck. A state of the art Apple iMAC computer, a Bluetooth-enabled entertainment system, WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen and private off street parking round out the amenities.
Stoneybrough furnishes locally made, all natural non-allergenic guests soaps.
Along with carefully chosen period art and antiques, you'll notice a decorative battle sword mounted on a wall opposite the kitchen, and a genuine Irish drum called a boudran'. These symbolize both the fierce, warlike history of the Irish, melded with their fun-loving, lively and charming musical traditions.
Just a few doors away from Stoneybrough you'll find The Bookstop Cafe' where you'll be tempted by warm scones fresh from the oven daily, and Olga's marvelous soups and quiches for lunch, infused with superb cheeses from her own farm.
A short stroll takes you to the heart of downtown, with the finest restaurants, pubs, live music, and busy shops and galleries for which Kenmare is justly famous. Two five-star hotels provide fine cuisine as well, along with luxurious spa experiences judged by Fodor's as the best in Europe.
Kenmare Golf Club, with beautiful views of Kenmare Bay is only a short walk away. The Ring of Kerry course overlooking Kenmare Bay is only a ten-minute drive.
You'll also find Kenmare centrally located for many of the finest golfing experiences in Ireland: the Ballybunion, Waterville, Dooks, Old Head, Tralee and Killarney courses are all within reasonable driving distances.
Kenmare is at the foot of the Ring of Kerry, the most popular travel destination in Ireland. There you'll find breathtaking scenery, stone age ring forts, the incredible 6th century monastic ruins on the island of Skellig Michael, (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), even pre-historic fossilized tetrapod tracks on Valencia Island. A full day exploring the Ring, another on the wild and less-traveled Beara Peninsula, and still another spent on the equally spectacular Dingle Peninsula (Ryan's Daughter was filmed there) will leave you with the most indelible experiences and memories imaginable.
By special arrangement, a private tour guide can customize the perfect day trips to meet your requirements.
Returning home, you might whip up a gourmet dinner served on Ralph Lauren Wedgwood china, with the freshest locally sourced ingredients from Roger O'Sullivan's butcher shop and the delightful small grocery just across the cobbled street from Stoneybrough. Feast on local grass fed beef, or fresh Kerry lamb, seasoned and garnished with rosemary picked from your garden. Or indulge yourself with savory Atlantic salmon caught just offshore, grilled on alderwood planks found in the kitchen, with fresh dill from the deck planter.
Or not! Take in an evening of fine food, fun, music and entertainment at any of the pubs and gourmet restaurants just a five minute walk away. You'll enjoy the freshest salmon, shrimp, whitefish, cod, and bay mussels, a local delicacy, in every bowl of steamy, creamy Kenmare seafood chowder.
Then, stroll home under the stars, falling asleep to the music of the River Finnehy.

The Kerry Way hill walking route, the Beara Peninsula, the Dingle Peninsula and the famous Ring of Kerry are at your doorstep. The property is nestled on the banks of the River Finnehy, at the end of a quiet and secluded cul de sac but only steps away from the town square. Many five-star and four-star restaurants, pubs, live music, galleries and shops are just around the corner. Kenmare is known for its fine cuisine, including locally sourced Kerry lamb, seafood caught and served daily, and fresh produce of all kinds. A vibrant Farmers Market happens every Wednesday, just up Bridge Street in the town square. Everything Kenmare has to offer is just steps away.
A private tour guide is available by special arrangement.
Manager info
Year Purchased: 2013
About: We're Americans, living on a mountain lake in South Carolina, Bonita Springs, Florida and now, Ireland. We have two sons and three grandchildren, all above average. We're retired professionals, now enjoying our avocations including musical performance, ocean sailing, travel, hiking and fishing. When I was a little boy, my parents admired a fine Georgian brick mansion on a country lane not far from where we lived. Dad's nickname was Stoney, as is mine. Dad had picked up a little pidgin English in the service during the war. He'd say, 'Stoney no can buy that house! Stoney broke! So my parents began calling the place, 'Stoneybroke.' A 'brough' is an archaic Gaelic word for an enclosure, like a fort or even a walled cattle confinement area. So 'Stoneybrough' is a play on words that has meaning for our family.
Why Kenmare:
We found Kenmare by getting lost. Our travel agent described a B&B he booked for us as being 'at the foot of the Ring of Kerry'. Who knew the Ring had two feet? We were at the wrong foot, and tore through Kenmare to get to the B&B at the right foot before dark. As we whizzed through, Janelle said, 'What a lovely town! Let's stop!' We couldn't. Two months later, having fallen hopelessly in love with Ireland, and after scouring the Internet listings, my younger son and I took a prospecting trip to Ireland looking for a possible holiday cottage. We pared the best prospects to a manageable few and visited places from Linnane and Clifden in the west central region all the way down to Kenmare and beyond. What's now Stoneybrough and its unique location stood head and shoulders above anything we saw on the entire trip. We believe we found the nicest property in the nicest location in the nicest town in the nicest county in Ireland. We think you'll agree.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
Why Stoneybrough? Well, Stoneybrough's proximity to everything is unmatched. Instead of driving miles to downtown, you're right there. Yet, you're insulated from the hustle and bustle along the serene, bubbling and beautiful river, with the iconic Cromwell Bridge just downstream. Kenmare is a proud, responsibile community. A nationally designated Irish Heritage Town, Kenmare has won the national 'Tidy Town' award and won the Small Town category in 2013. The warmth and friendliness of strangers is hard to describe unless you experience it. Kenmare folks call those of us who have moved in, 'blow-in's' meaning we weren't born there. But they go out of their way to make everyone feel genuinely welcome. And here's the magic: you don't feel like a visitor, getting to town in the car, finding a place to park, (not always easy), getting back in and driving home after a few drinks and some good fun. Rather, you feel like you belong. You're a part of the place, not a casual passerby. You walk home. Heck, you can crawl home! You're connected. The feeling is real. The property has been updated with the latest in technology, new furniture, carefully chosen period art, a new 'super king' master bed, deck furniture and even a jaunty beach umbrella for those sunny afternoons relaxing on the deck! You'll lack for nothing. You'll provision at the many small groceries around town, the two wine shops, and the Farmer's Market on Wednesday for gourmet meats, fresh fish, eggs, artisan cheeses, breads and all kinds of goods practically at your doorstep. A bookshelf devoted to helpful books, maps and other holiday planning resources can be found in the living room.
