my Husband wears only these everyday to work and casual
06/29/15 | By Debbra j C.
They are perfect fit, and last forever.
There's more than socks offered at Thorlo
04/01/15 | By Kenneth B.
The socks are not only comfortable but durable and good looking. This Company not only provides exceptional socks. This Company has gone out of their way to provide a personalized sock to a veteran friend of mine. Susan, thank you! This is a major league Company with a major league HEART. I will never buy socks anywhere else. Thanks to all the fantastic employees!

Only socks I wear.
02/07/15 | By Bradley L.
These are the best socks I have ever worn. Good for both work and casual. They hold up well over time and are very comfortable wearing all day long.
01/31/15 | By Michael J.
Purchased XL size socks, but XL is actually Large and doesn't fit especially after one washing. Was able to find better quality product from another sock manufacturer.
Great support
01/23/15 | By Deborah C.
Given as a gift to someone who specifically requested them. Loves them!
Socks can matter
01/18/15 | By Lenny H.
I didn't think this to be true but socks can help. I am not a sock person, matter of fact I'd rather not wear socks. Thorlo socks are different. I was relaxing with my feet up and imy feet actually had a soothing feeling. I can say I have never felt anything like that before. The Thorlo socks actually make a difference
Comfort for a full workday
01/18/15 | By Brian H.
These socks felt good from the moment I put them on. My feet feel great all day long. I'm not sure how they'll wear over time but so far I love them.
Light padding is perfect for being in the office
01/16/15 | By Walter B.
For folks that are on their feet most of the day but not pounding the pavement like a postman, these socks are perfect. I bought four and I'm ordering a few more.
Bought these as a repeat gift for my husband!
01/12/15 | By Connie S.
The hubs loves to pamper his feet and wears nothing but Thorlos. He says the padding on the bottom of this sock cushions his feet without making the shoe feel tight. I will have to invest in a few pairs for myself.
My brother-in-law won't wear anything else!
01/12/15 | By Joanne T.
They fit him very well for his size 13 feet, retain their elasticity, colour and shape.
I would expect nothing less from Thorlo
01/08/15 | By John C.
Great socks
Best Socks for everyday wear
01/03/15 | By Corinne S.
These are the best socks. Normally I buy the white crew socks from other name brands from discount sales. It is never more than a month before those socks start getting holes. I've had thorlos for years that never show wear!
Best Casual Socks Out There
01/02/15 | By Keith S.
These are the best socks for casual shoes, especially causal sports shoes. I wanted to upgrade my appearance while wearing jeans, so I swapped out my white cross training shoes that I used to wear for a couple of pairs of medium brown-colored sport shoes. But what to do for socks, as white socks surely wouldn't do... The answer, of course, was Thorlo socks. I have been using Thorlos for Hiking for 15 years. 5 years ago I discovered Thorlo's causal and dress lines. The socks last multiple times longer than typical socks last and are far more comfortable. I just ordered more sets of these socks...with an overall lower cost of ownership and a superior comfort level, it was no-brainer!
12/27/14 | By Kathryn M.
Very light weight, and very comfortable.
Looks good with casual wear such khakis
12/24/14 | By Homer S.
though featured as casual they also serve as dress up.
Most comfortable, long wearing sock, ever!
12/11/14 | By Susan T.
Both my husband and I wear this same style of sock because they are so amazingly comfortable! We are busy people, on our feet most of the day, and there is never any discomfort from our Thorlos. And an added bonus - they are long wearing!
Best every day sock you have out of 7-8 styles I have tried
11/07/14 | By Richard J.
Need more colors just the right amount of compression at the top to stay up without cutting off venous return and comfortable with peripheral neuropathy issues as well as jogging and other sports activities
The only socks I'll ever buy..
07/30/14 | By Raymond T.
Fantastic. Dress socks as comfortable as my Thorlo hikers.
Love These Socks
07/29/14 | By Carol W.
Husband and Father wear these socks all the time
New TIGHTER ankle!
07/16/14 | By Greg S.
I have bought thes for years, but now they are a pain in the ankle. They did Not used to be Tight like this! I still have many from previous orders and now these same socks are way tighter. Why? The elastic stretches but you can not stand the pain. I can not wear these very long without taking them off and getting a different pair.
Wonderful everyday sock.
07/02/14 | By Dan W.
Dear Thorlo, Thank you for a great pair of socks. These are a rare find on the market today.
Best for everyday comfort
07/02/14 | By John J.
Wish they were available in blue.
Outstanding socks!
07/02/14 | By Marsha M.
My husband and I both wear these socks every day. We love the thick comfort, the high quality of the materials, smartness of the construction, and the depth of the black dye that does not run. We have tried a number of sock brands, and these Thorlo ECCXM far exceed our expectations. We're grateful for such wonderful socks, which are made in the United States.
Comfort socks
06/29/14 | By John m C.
These are the best socks for casual wear and comfort that I have ever owned. You will not find a better sock on the market.
Still quality!
06/06/14 | By Edward S.
Unlike other brands which have cheapened their quality and thread count, you can count on Thorlo to maintain its world-class construction, first-rate material and attention to detail.
Damn comfortable and long lasting
06/06/14 | By Glenn M.
I really enjoy these socks. They are very comfortable both as every day socks and for walking/hiking. The best thing about them though is that they seem to last forever. Truthfully, I first bought these socks 5 years ago and am still wearing those pairs. Recently I had to buy more because my wife "borrowed" several pairs from me. I'm not expecting to ever get them back!
wonderful comfort
04/29/14 | By Thomas n T.
best socks available
Expensive and worth every penny!
03/12/14 | By Daniel P.
They fit, they stay up, they wear, they look good. What else can I say?
There is no comparison ....
02/27/14 | By Robert L.
When you put them on it feels like .... AHHHHH. I am replacing all of my work and sport socks with Thorlos. They also wash well and last longer than other brands.
02/22/14 | By Andrew M.
I've bought similar looking socks (without thorlo on the toe) - black, stretchy, padded - that seemed somewhat softer and therefore more comfortable - love your products in general though
Warm for winter times
02/08/14 | By Richard B.
Just as expected
My husband's pm;y socks!
02/05/14 | By Pat S.
My husband will never wear a different sock. He loves their comfort and durability. He loves the fact that he can wear them forever.
Ultra Comfort
02/05/14 | By Mike C.
The soft, thick pile provides a extremely comfortable wearing experience. Since the thicker toe box is now extended more towards the middle of the foot, this will also promote the longevity of the sock, making them not only comfortable, but also durable. Excellent!
Great sock for work.
02/05/14 | By Roger T.
They are a little thicker than what I am used to but just spent 2 days at a convention and I didn't have any foot pain.
Fantastic comfort in an everyday sock!
01/24/14 | By Retta L.
I've been looking for a comfortable, everyday sock that my shoes don't eat and that I can work all day in....don't know why I didn't try these before, but I'm sold on them now! Thanks you Thorlo...again!!
Great socks
01/19/14 | By Scott F.
Extremely comfortable and durable socks. I wash on gentle cycle and air dry and they have lasted over a year so far like new. I have chronic foot pain and they really help with the coussion
best socks for work
01/16/14 | By Joe D.
perfect for on your feet all day.
Just Great Comfortable Socks
01/16/14 | By Linda A.
We first heard of these socks when my sister in MT bought a pair as a Christmas gift to my husband. Since that time, they are all he wears. Now our son-in-law and a grandson-in-law are converts. We always know a Christmas gift that will be appreciated on a daily basis.
Perfect fit.
01/10/14 | By Dennis H.
It's great to find socks that aren't one size fits all. I wear a size 8.5 shoe and these socks fit perfectly.
Cadillac of socks.
01/06/14 | By Carollyn W.
Gift to my son. He said they must be the "cadillac" of socks. Loved them.
Most comfortable daily socks
01/03/14 | By Bart J.
Love the socks.......Dark brown....PLEASE!!!!!
01/01/14 | By Pam G.
My husband thinks these socks are to expensive, but every week they are in the wash so that must say something for the comfort of the sock. I've started to buy him a few every year so we can weed out his other socks. His first pair is only a year old but wear very well and still are as nice as the first time he put them on,
My husband swears by these socks!
12/29/13 | By Lindalee S.
My husband has bunions and he says these socks make a lot of difference. He feels the extra cushion is well worth it. And most other socks only seem to last a few washings and these hold up so much longer! So once or twice a year, we stock up on Thorlos!
Great casual sock
12/21/13 | By Marlen G.
I bought a few pairs for my husband in tan/khaki. They are perfect to wear with Merrells. Love the cushion, as always.
Super socks
10/12/13 | By Octavio C.
Very comfortable socks, I will buy more for winter
Nice warm feet
09/29/13 | By Jon F.
These Thorlos are not for warm days, but as Autumn comes on they will be my favorite. Comfortable and warm, what more could I want from a sock?
Best work attire socks I have ever owned.
08/01/13 | By Calvin J.
They are great socks and they go well with with my work attire. Would be nice if the also came in brown.
Great socks
07/20/13 | By James H.
We bought some more of these that we have been using the last few years. You can not tell the difference between the old ones and new ones which is why we love them.
New ECCXM
07/16/13 | By Barry H.
extremely comfortable, great for summer wear
Great socks!
07/03/13 | By Kip W.
Have had the same socks in past, liked so much ordered some more. They are comfortable and last forever!
Very comfortable
06/30/13 | By Rich G.
As advertised and shipping speed was just incredible
great everyday sock
06/23/13 | By Nancy K.
I used to wear Worlds Softest Socks, but I was finding that they just got too warm on the leg part. This Thorlo sock is lightly cushioned and the upper part is lightweight and my leg does not get too hot. I get the next size larger than they recommend(I am a woman and wear shoe size 10). In the summer I wear the Experia crew(I get a larger size in that also, 12).
Very comfortable
06/20/13 | By Robert P.
Like all the Thorlos I've bought they are very comfortable and make walking much less tiring at the end of a day.
Great socks for business attire
06/17/13 | By John M.
Great socks for business attire as those other cheesy thin ones give no support. Glad i found these as i hate wearing those other "dress" socks.
Best socks for day to day where
06/01/13 | By Kevin E.
I wear these every day
The best!
04/30/13 | By Mario F.
Wonderful socks for everyday use and for walk.
Good casual-wear socks
04/26/13 | By Norm C.
Socks have good cushioning but are not too heavy.
Great for work.
04/02/13 | By Sean D.
Great quality - I love the reinforced top.
Different and helpful.
03/24/13 | By Ralph M.
i have only a few pairs and tend to wear each pair more than one day before replacement. That suggests I'd rather wear a two day old pair of Thorlos, than an new pair of standard thickness. That's good!
I want Thorlos on my feet everyday..
03/18/13 | By Mark W.
I walk more than 2 miles a day, and in 10 years I have only worn Thorlos, and I seem to be a hero for giving them to my friends. I AM your San Diego spokesperson. It's a no brainer. Good work, guys. Captain Mark
Comfortable for work and everyday
03/16/13 | By Brenda H.
I bought these socks for my son for Christmas and he loves the comfort. He works in a job where he is on his feet a lot and sometimes wears work boots that can chafe if the socks are too thin. But he gives Thorlos a 5 star rating for comfort.
Fabulours socks
Your company has the best socks..and I wear size 15 shoes so finding socks to fit me is a challenge! Thanks!!
Outstanding comfort and durability
01/30/13 | By Chris C.
I've tried them all, and Thorlos are the best for comfort, cushioning, and durability. Man, mine seem to last forever. I really love the ECCXM Everyday Comfort socks - the amount of cushioning is much more than you'd get from any random clothing or department store, but not so much that it feels in any way too bulky in your shoe. I'll never buy any other socks besides these Thorlos.
01/26/13 | By Michael S.
It's like wearing a blanket on your feet...really
6x5 and ready for more.
01/13/13 | By Don J.
I am on my feet 6 hr.s a day, 5 days a week, moving the entire time. After work I go to the gym for an hr. and 1/2 work out. My feet are never tired nor do they hurt. When I take them off at night I feel like I haven't done anything to injure them all day. I'm glad I found these terrific socks and I tell everyone about them. I have one pair that I wear every third day and I have had them for 1.5 years and they still feel like new. Keep up the good work.
Only socks my husband wants to wear!
Great socks, very durable, comfortable and long lasting.
very comfy
I bought four pairs of these socks for my son who is a valet manager and is on his feet all day. He informed me that these socks were "very comfy" and held up well.
Best Socks in the Known Universe!
12/28/12 | By Lawrence F.
These are the best socks I have found. they wear like iron, look good and feel even better. My only problem is that my Wife keeps stealing them. Sometimes I look in the old sock drawer and find nothing but tumbleweeds!I think I'm going to have her arrested! SHH! don't say anything...I want it to be a surprise!
I Love most Thurlos
12/28/12 | By Stephen G.
I found the sizing on these too small...toes pressured by sock.
Best socks ever!
12/27/12 | By Mary S.
I've worn nothing but Thorlo socks for over 15 years. They are the longest lasting, most comfortable socks on the market. Whether I'm walking, running, or playing tennis or golf I have Thorlo socks for each sport. I especially love the way I don't ever feel a seam in the toe area. They are the best!
Happy repeat buyer.
12/21/12 | By Douglas P.
I ordered these as replacements for the ones I bought a few years ago. The other ones still work, but are starting to show wear. I wear them as casual dress socks with khakis and they are great for everyday wear. Just be aware that they are significantly thicker than standard dress socks, and you'll probably need a half size larger. Fair trade for the comfort.
I through out all my other socks
12/17/12 | By Brian G.
After buying Thorlo socks I tossed out the Under armor, addidas, Nike, and all other socks. Thorlo is the best Sock on the planet!!!!!!
12/16/12 | By C.j.[chris] H.
After wearing this socks all day, my foot odour is greatly reduced and my feet and legs are not as tired ... I have already ordered more of these socks!
Incredible socks!
I had, still do, two pairs of these socks that I have been wearing for the last three or so years and they are just now starting to show wear. The ones I just bought should last a decade at least!
Thorlo's on - it's gonna be a great day!
Love all of my Thorlo socks especially during the winter months. Recently recommended Thorlo to a friend whose mother-in-law always asks what to get him for Christmas.
Excellent socks!
12/14/12 | By Jack R.
My wife always complained how stinky my feet were until I received these in the mail. They are comfortable and do an amazing job of wicking. Would recommend to anybody who is looking for a quality sock.
The Joy of Socks
Solid, ribbed, thick, handsome footwear that's well worth the price.
Terrific, high quality socks.
11/01/12 | By Sean D.
Great socks - need to make them in Navy/Blue.
Good sock for the feet, bad for the lower calf
10/05/12 | By Bradley L.
I was so disappointed. The socks from the ankle down were great, supportive, comfortable, all good. At the top they were far too tight and probably dangerous for me. Maybe I can pass them on. I quickly looked through the catalog and wasn't sure if there was good sock for me.
You get what you pay for
07/28/12 | By Michael O.
Thorlo's are expensive, but you will never find better. Once you try Thorlo's I'll bet you won't wear anything else!
Great socks for work
these are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn!
No question: This IS the best sock I've ever put on my feet.
06/13/12 | By David W.
I've been looking for you for 4 years. I've found soft socks but they've all been too hot. These socks are exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for making them.
Going to stock my sock drawer with 'em
These feel like cotton, but stay up very well and also hold firmly around the arches. I've been test-wearing these socks for a few weeks now -- wearing, washing, wearing. They are still in great shape and I plan on buying many more!
My favorite socks
06/07/12 | By David R.
Very comfortable socks.
Best comfort socks you make!
Absolutely love them!
Best socks for tender feet
My feet have become increasingly more sensitive and prone to tears in the skin as I have aged. With these socks, and the Thorlo thick cushioned socks uses as slippers, the soreness and sensitivity is greatly reduced and the tears are gone.
good for standing and walking
02/02/12 | By Harry B.
will buy agaian
Great comfort and wear beautifully.
02/02/12 | By Lawrence B.
Amazing Everyday Comfort
My feet could not feel better than they do in these durable everyday socks. I am a repeat buyer! Hard to find in stores but easy to order online.
Best Thorlos everyday socks I've ever purchased
01/28/12 | By Creighton W.
I have been wearing Thorlos for more than 10 years. Models change and I was somewhat cautious when I ordered the new ECCXMs. I tried 4 pair and I love them.
My Favorites!!!
01/23/12 | By Gale Z.
These are my "go to" socks each day. They are so comfy and cozy on my feet. I just wish that they came in more colors.
Extraordinary Comfort!
I have never owned or worn a more comfortable sock. I don't care what they cost. They're worth every cent.
None like them!
01/19/12 | By Jim C.
These are, by far, the best socks I've ever worn. My feet still feel great, 10 hours later. They're pricey, which is my only reservation.
My son, "They're goooood"
01/18/12 | By Lauren B.
I bought these as a gift for my son and he loves them! Your feet are your "wheels" and have to last you a lifetime - you are worth it!!
My husband wears nothing else
Great socks. My husbands favorite and wears only these comfortable socks
Comfortable & well made.
12/28/11 | By Bill C.
Best socks I know of. Why would I buy any others?
Awesome Socks!
12/14/11 | By Maureen P.
Can't beat these socks for comfort and durability! Hope they never stop making them!
These are my socks!!!
12/14/11 | By Gordon K.
I started wearing these socks 4 years ago after a recommendation from my son the hiker, pack packer, mountain climber, snow boarder, kayaker, etc. I live in 3 separate locations throughout the year and all three sock drawers have nothing but these socks in them. These are my socks! - Gordon
Great socks
10/22/11 | By Bill N.
A bit expensive, but then, how much are your feet worth. Stocks stay up with minimal elastic in upper half. Love the feel of them. Will never buy the cheapies anymore as these look good and wear well.
He LOVES them, and they last FOREVER!
My partner just LOVES these socks, so it's easy to make him happy! And, they seem to last forever...he has some he's had for like 8 years - they are worn, but he still loves them. He said this style is particularly great for every day wear.
Did not work at all!
Too thick and not size right at all!
Need more color variety
Only having black in a dark colored dress sock is keeping me from ordering more. Why not a navy blue?
Best Socks Ever!
07/06/11 | By Brian C.
I spent two days walking around a tradeshow in Las Vegas. The first day, I used cheap socks and my feet ached after the first hour. The second day, I used the same shoes and wore my Thorlos. I walked all day pain free. I swear by my Thorlos.
Extremely comfortable, especially in hot weather!
I live in the heat and humidity of Okinawa, Japan, and am on my feet most of the day. These socks do a great job of keeping my feet as dry as possible. They are also more comfortable than any other socks I've worn. I highly recommend them.
Please lose the white mbroidery
06/06/11 | By Harry M.
Your product speaks for itself through quality and performance. How do you justify the expense of emboidery - it doesn't make me want to buy, and I didn't think I was wearing "Gold Toe". Do you think so little of your customers?
Don't stop making these!
05/25/11 | By Gordon K.
I bought my first pair of Thorlos at my son
They actually fit
05/18/11 | By Dwight J.
I like the way Thorlo comes in so many sizes. There is no need to squize my big feet into something too tight. They are well made with just the right amount of cushioning. There are no seams. I think they will last a long time. I don't mind paying a little more for these because the are so comfortable and will last longer than cheap socks.
Unique advantages
Things I like: 1) Available in more sizes than other socks. They fit good! 2) Comforable contruction- good shape, no seams. 3) Made in USA 4) I think they will last a long time. Long enough to justify the higher price.
Everyday Wow!
04/22/11 | By Jeffery W.
These are my new everyday favorites. I suspect that unless I need a really dressy sock, I'll wear these all the time - I have 7 pair.
Everyday Wow!

These are my new everyday favorites. I suspect that unless I need a really dressy sock, I wear these all the time - I have 7 pair.
I love these socks
The most comfortable socks I have ever owned!
good in tenis shoes or boots
Comfortable Dress Socks
My husband wears these to work. There not thin dress socks but not too thick like the athletic socks. They're his favortie.
Thorlo experience
I like Thorlo socks
The one thing I don't like about these socks is the writing on top of the foot. If I'm at someone's house who has people take off their shoes, it's kind of embarrassing.
Can't wear anything else at any price
01/15/11 | By Richard S.
Been wearing nothing but Thorlos for over 10 years. As my feet change, I have changed sock types. I keep enought on hand for 2 weeks. The Everyday Comfort are the best ever. As usual, they never wear out and protect my feet all day. Wouldn't... can't wear any others at any price. Now my wife and son wear them, too.
love them!
01/14/11 | By Laura D.
Great socks for everyday use!
Best dress sock I've ever worn
01/13/11 | By Ed D.
And I've been wearing dress socks for many years. Only discovered these within the last year, but now no other sock will do. Ed FollowYourPlan.com
Warm and comfortable
01/12/11 | By Mary S.
Great socks in cold weather, hard wearing, only problem is that they tend to "pill".
Perfect sock for every day
This is my favorite everyday sock. When I'm not into some type of sport, running or outdoor activity, I'm wearing these socks. Great fit; they hug your feet and have the right cushion. Best of all, the top elastic band is superior to all other socks I've worn.
Great socks, but ..
A little too snug. I wear a 11 1/2 shoe .. these didn't come any larger than 12.
these socks outlast others 2 to 1
12/16/10 | By William W.
I have been wearing thorlo socks for the last 5 years and have found them to be the best I have ever purchased--will never use another brand again
Relief for my diabetic feet
I have a rel problem with my feet because of diabetis; a condition called hammer toes. For this reason I need as much padding as I can get under my feet. My ECCXM sox do that and still look stylish with suits and so on. A great value for the money.
Great everyday socks
I thought these socks might be too think, but they aren't. Although called "thin cushion", they are far thicker and have more padding than almost any non-Thorlo product. They really should be called Moderate Cushion. They are extremely comfortable and feel great!
Very good socks
12/01/10 | By Larry R.
My wife and I have been wearing Thorlos for about 4 years now. They are the only socks we buy.
Comfortable for walking.
10/13/10 | By William L.
Most comfortable and longest lasting socks I have ever worn.
Great after 30 days
Great after 30 days
Thank God!
09/23/10 | By Johnny M.
My size 14 feet desperately needed a better sock than the ones I find in most department stores. After a couple of washings, the old socks I used to purchase would always bind and constrict my calves. My feet ached every night when I came home. My new Thorolos socks are so comfortable. No more constricted calves or throbbing feet! I feel like I am walking on air! I will never wear another brand of socks!
You make the best socks period.
I have worn your basketball socks for many years and they are better than any I have ever worn. The socks I purchased last month are every bit as good as your basketball socks. They are comfortable and keep your feet dry and protected from callouses and other ailments. To repeat myself again, you make the best socks.
07/23/10 | By Luigi G.
absolutely the best foot coverings in the world! i have about 12 pair of this model for over 12 years! can't wear them out and they still feel as if they were new!
Great socks!
07/17/10 | By James C.
Great socks!
perfect dress sock
07/10/10 | By David T.
great for the calfs
Best socks I have ever worn
Great fit using the shoe size chart. Very comfortable and they help keep my feet dry.
They really are my every day socks!
Plenty of cushion!
06/23/10 | By Jan K.
I wondered how much cushion was implied by the "thin" cushion label. Not to worry, there is plenty of cushion for everyday wear, in particular to the office and other business or casual functions. I highly recommend this product!
Perfection 2.0
05/26/10 | By Philip S.
I wear these socks when playing golf in the winter and for mountain biking. Their soft cushion minimizes the stresses on my bad feet.
Great Socks!
05/26/10 | By Martha B.
Wonderful for when I'm on my feet a lot. I like the Thorlo logo on the toes, as well as the size on the arch. I can see they're mine at a glance.
All day comfort
Just enough cushioning to be comfortable, but not tight. They don't sag around the ankles.
Bought for gift for son.
My son loves them!
Feels like quality on one's foot
Great Socks for Everyday Wear
02/04/10 | By Joseph D.
These are the best socks for normal everyday wear. Comfortable, nice weight and just an excellent choice good light cushioning.
Great socks for work or play
I love these socks. I bought 4 pairs a couple of years ago and just bought 4 more pairs. The old ones are still in great shape. They are very comfortable and warm in winter and breath well in the summer. Definitely will buy again!
Great Sock for Everyday
01/21/10 | By Joseph D.
Having worn Thorlo heavier socks for much of this past year I decided to try the Everyday Comfort Thin Cushion socks. My feet feel great and the weight and sole cushion of Everyday is just wonderful. I highly recommend this product.

everyday sox
I love my tennis socks by Thorlo,but i purchased these everyday socks for myself for xmas. I wore them to work last week, and they have a small hole just below the ankle. I think I got a defective pair since they have only been washed once. I am going to send them back or ask for a refund.
Comfort & great for the office. This was the best gift
Great Socks with Khakis
11/05/09 | By Kurt W.
These socks are so great I won't wear anything else anymore. The first 5 have lasted 3 years already but I just bought more so I did not have to do my laundry so often! They used to sell these in blue that went great with my jeans but they don't sell them anymore. Darn, I had only bought 2 of them 3 years ago. I need more in my wardrobe, so please bring back the blue for men!!! Thanks for listening.
need the cushion
With out the extra cushion in these socks, it would be very painful for me to walk.
Make and Offer exact sizes
I would purchase more socks if size matched my feet. One size does not fit all!
Bad Fit
10/08/09 | By Anthony J.
They're called size 14, but they are undersized for me.
Great for daily wear.
10/07/09 | By Brian O.
I will definitely purchase again.
Best socks to wear with my dress shoes.
06/26/09 | By Gary G.
Very comfortable, and cushioned enough to make even thin leather loafers comfortable for hours. My wife steals them from my sock drawer for her own use. Even my pug wants these socks!
Most comfortable "dress" socks.
06/18/09 | By Michael W.
wear them with suits or khakis.
Exceptional Comfort
06/04/09 | By Philip S.
I have flat feet, bunions, and fallen arches (what we refer to in the trade as bad feet). I've had considerable trouble finding shoes and socks that don't cause me some discomfort. I discovered that Mephisto shoes and Thorlo socks are a combination far superior to anything else I've tried in the past 15 years. I bought a dozen ECCXM socks a few years ago, and am still wearing them in comfort.
No tired or sweaty feet
05/28/09 | By Ralph R.
These socks keep my feet comfortable all day long. I prefer mid calf though.
Husband Loves These Socks
05/27/09 | By Pat S.
My husband has had problems finding a comfortable sock that wears well. He really loves the feel of these socks and I'm sure they will outlast every other sock he has tried,
Will purchase again
05/02/09 | By John B.
I have two other pair of this kind of Thorlo sock and I really like them.
Thorlos are great
04/29/09 | By Paul N.
These Thorlos dress socks are better than any dress socks I have purchased in upscale department stores. They are very well cushioned and comfortable. Thorlos running and hiking socks are great as well!
Very good socks
03/13/09 | By Kelly S.
I like the socks. I've worn another model of Thorlos in the past. I'm a big guy and a lot of socks cut into my leg at the top band. These fit great, neither too loose or too tight. They're pricey, but I'll pay it for the comfort.
Outstanding socks & Service
03/06/09 | By James t W.
Perfect fit--great service--hold up very well---wear them all the time.
The best socks ever
03/05/09 | By Raymond P.
I love Thorlo socks for everyday wear at work.
Really good socks
01/18/09 | By Robert B.
I needed new socks. I'm still using my 20 year old Thorlo ski socks and they're still like new, so I figured I'd give these a try. You can feel the quality.
Terrific fit
01/16/09 | By Dennis M.
I wear size 14e shoe. I have been wearing Thor-Lo socks since my tennis days however most stores don't stock this size. So I shop online. By the the MPTM is the best GOLF sock I've worn. djm
My favorite socks ever
01/09/09 | By Dana L.
These socks are soft and supportive and I think they will last forever. I just bought some new pairs and you can barely tell the difference between my new socks and the old ones. Thank you Thorlo.
Super socks!
01/08/09 | By Timothy P.
These socks are the BEST! Never bunch up, last for a long time, and retain their colors and shape.
Best socks ro wear with dress shoes
12/19/08 | By Raymond V.
Since I discovered Therlo Socks,I do not wear any other kind. I have diferent ones for different uses, but always Therlo
12/12/08 | By Donald M.
Extremely comfortable -- friendly like an old shoe
Great military everyday use sock
10/29/08 | By Gray D.
Since I wear navy leather shoes everyday, I like socks that breathe and keep their color/shape for a long time. I have used Thorlo socks for years, but these are a definite improvement over my previous favorites. While they are expensive, Thorlo socks keep their color and quality much longer than any of the official Navy socks sold in the exchanges and they breathe much better too.

Change in the Making: Cent Up!
31st January 13
Posted in awesomeness, business models, Creativityforgoodhttp://www.vimeo.com/56722891
Every once and awhile we stumble upon a piece of technology or an innovation that changes behavior in all the right ways. For the most part these ideas are based on a very simple, very obvious insight that for one reason or another, has not yet been solved for. CentUp is exactly one of those ideas.
Quite simply, CentUp is a share button that lets you appreciate content and give a few cents while doing so. So, when things go viral, they create awareness. When things get CentUp, they will create change.
One of the most common reasons people don't donate more online is because they forget. CentUp is an active reminder to give, and it lives where people are spending an enormous amount of time and attention each day: consuming online content.
So whether you are reading your favorite blog, browsing your friends instagram photos, or even loling at a local improv group's video, let amazing creators know that you support them with more than just a share. CentUp changes behaviors by making social good a core element of the publishing business model.
We spent a bit of time with Len Kendall, one of the founders of Cent Up through the magic of Google Docs. Below are is our Q&A.
Q1. When and where did you first conceive the idea for CentUp? And how close to the original idea is the current incarnation?
There were two items that sparked CentUp. (Not including the damn amazing domain name that was available.)
The first inspiration came from our collective work in the advertising and pr world. It's increasingly difficult to build digital things that people take the time to use, read, or donate to. People's attention spans are low and distractions are high. So we wanted to create something that took miniscule actions and made them something more powerful in aggregate. This flash of inspiration happened at a coworking space in Chicago while we were dissecting a different project.
What really tipped us over the edge specifically was the Kony 2012 video that went viral last year. It so perfectly embodied the often negatively used term, "slacktivism" which describes people taking an action that doesn't really lead to change. (The video was shared millions and millions of times, but war in Africa wasn't being thwarted by most people clicking "like"). We decided to develop something that could take advantage of tiny actions, but collectively accomplish something good. Hence, CentUp was born.
While the focus of our idea was very much on raising money for non-profits, we quickly realized that publishers (anyone who creates content online) were our core customers and we needed to build a product that first and foremost served them. While the functionality of CentUp isn't going to be that much different than how we first envisioned it, the relationship building and marketing will have a vastly different focus.
Q2. I assume that going into this, the shift into a start-up lifestyle was something you planned for. In retrospect, what would you have done differently if anything. And, what were some of the unexpected surprises?
In terms of surprises, the biggest adjustment for me was the management of my own time. I don't wake up anymore with an outlook calendar full of meetings or client requests that need to be dealt with. The way in which I spend my time is very much up to me and it has made me hyper-sensitive to whether or not particular moments, conversations, events, and other diversions are helping my business. But don't worry, I haven't become a selfish jerk just yet. Also, I am lucky to have a wonderful and understanding fiance who doesn't mind my increased work intensity, as long as I spend some of that time working from the couch next to her.
I always imagined I would leave the agency world to either build my own company or join a young one, but I didn't know it would happen as soon as it did. I was presented with a solid opportunity to do freelance work on a recurring basis while focusing the most of my time on CentUp. Since a few hours here and there during the week helped me cover my expenses, it made the transition much easier to embrace. The critical element was that I no longer had to say, "I still have a full-time job" when talking to investors, partners, media, etc. I highly recommend this kind of shift for people because it allows you to build and run a company quite lean before it's time to dedicate your entire life to it. A month after leaving my gig, CentUp was accepted into a startup incubator in Chicago and things started moving really fast.
Q3. How do you and your partners work together? Prior to CentUp, were any of the founders part of a start-up?
The three original co-founders: Tyler Travtiz, John Geletka, and myself all come from marketing and never had worked at a start-up. While we're not veterans in that respect, we all have a solid set of experience in building brands for very large companies. Once CentUp joined an incubator program, we combined forces with our investors Chris McLaughlin and Marcus Duncan who have a solid background in the non-profit space and product development. We're all in Chicago, and we intend on staying on our lovely city. When we're not working from our lovely office we're usually taking advantage of Google Hangouts to work from home and talk to each other along the way.
Q4. How has Ventricle been able to help you grow beyond staffing and talent?
What I really appreciated about their program versus the other big ones out there like Techstars is the level of partnership they brought to the table. They didn't just invest in us, have a few mentors come in, and give us a desk. They are with us day to day helping develop and design the product. Beyond the added hands on deck, they're also removing friction from the business building process. By helping address the minutia (accounting, legal, etc) of building a company, it leaves us time to focus on doing what we do best, designing, developing, and acquiring customers.
Q5. When do you expect to be out of beta, and open to the public? What are some of the first partnerships that will be connected at launch?
We expect to launch at the end of February (which incidentally is when our Indiegogo campaign will wrap up). We're giving first access to the people that pledged to our campaign, even if it's a dollar. We're not using a crowdsourcing platform primarily to raise money, rather we're using it to build our first set of fans and show publishers that they absolutely should install CentUp after our launch, because there is a demand from readers.
In terms of partners we've got a great set of non-profits that we're in final discussions with. From the publisher side, we're going to start with small to medium youporn porno size sites to test out the system and then expand quickly on larger networks. We can't reveal those yet, but they're definitely names that readers of this blog will recognize. In the meantime we encourage anyone who hosts their own site to sign-up to be one of our publishers.
Q6. Do you envision CentUp being rolled into a larger platform or network, or is it too early for that kind of thinking?
Ultimately, we realize that the CentUp will be infinitely more powerful if it can partner with a platform like Google+ or Twitter, but we know we'll need to develop our own ecosystem first.
Our intention for the first year is to have enough content getting CentUp so that we can build a Reddit-like home page that shows top content getting cents. It's a place that we believe bloggers and other content creators will strive to show-up on because it doesn't just represent virality, but a substantial endorsement from fans, backed with real money.
P.S. Look for the CentUp button right here on the Labs blog towards the end of February.
Transform and Roll Out

Posted in Goodbyes
And so, it is with major regret that we see our very own Optimus Prime, @saneel, leave the Lab and BBH. Happily he'll be staying in the extended family, launching a soon-to-be-announced innovation offering being incubated at VivaKi. So I guess he has a new world to call home.
Personally, I'm going to miss the magic mix of insanely high-speed processing, megawatt brain and heart, motor mouth and deeply droll, bone-dry sense of humour that is Mr Saneel Radia. There aren't many people who give such volume, value and velocity, whilst staying ice cool under pressure. He'll hate me for saying this, but his final post here shares some useful lessons that demonstrate all of the above.
We wish him all the best. Go well, friend. (Mel, 29.01.13)
Dear BBH,
Well that was a crazy ride, no? From my first day to my last, we've had one of the most unique relationships I can imagine. I should have known I was in for something special when someone I respect as much as Ben recruited me, and about 100 days later said "I have bad news and good news" ('I'm leaving' and 'you're in charge', respectively).
You let me be whoever I wanted to be, and for that I'm eternally grateful. You never questioned me as a strategy lead, an account lead, or a creative lead– even when I kinda questioned myself.What's most awesome is that I was never forced into a particular bucket, but you made me better at all of them because I was surrounded by people (everyone?) who could do it at a whole different level. I mean, pitching creative ideas to people like John and Pelle? Talking brands with Emma and Sarah? Of course I got better at all of it. It'd be impossible not to.
And thanks for being committed to innovation the way you are. In an industry that should be under arrest for assault based on its treatment of that word, this place continues to be a beacon of hope for people with different ideas. Any company that has someone like Mel around is going to have misfits ringing the doorbell daily. I'm just happy someone answered even though I was dressed in bright colors.
Finally, thanks for all of the lessons I'm taking with me as I move on. It's impossible to document them all in a post, but these ring most loudly in my ears as I head off:
Small ideas are kinda hot.
I originally came to BBH because I couldn't think of a place with "bigger" ideas. It turns out my favorite things were the small ideas. Working with interns 10 weeks at a time forces small ideas into greatness. Working with a company like Google, that regularly reminds you how bloated all your shit is (they were right more often than I'd like to admit), forced ideas into their purest form. Or sometimes it's just not having enough time for anything bigger. Regardless, I fell in love with small. Mainly because of how big it can be. (Special thanks to Tim Nolan for aiding me along in this particular journey.)
The volume of noise isn't indicative of the sentiment.
Homeless Hotspots was a media frenzy. There was a full cycle of negativity, then acceptance, then full-blown defense on our behalf. Yet from the beginning to the end, nothing but a positive impact on homelessness ever mattered; for the vast majority of people who care about such a thing (and have spent time with the homeless), their support always outweighed the negativity, no matter how loud the noise got. In fact, there was some genuinely productive, well meaning criticism we adopted as our work with the homeless has continued to evolve. It's easy to see the difference now, but when the volume dial is set quite high, it can be a lot tougher. That's clarity I'll always take forward with me.
The greatest disservice one can do to their team is accepting their shitty work.
I've seen some really good days, and some really bad days in my 3-or-so years here. Almost unilaterally the bad days were the result of people not speaking up (myself included). When they were just too damn polite, or agreeable. Sure, it's awkward sometimes. It's uncomfortable every now and again. And yeah, you have to be able to speak "British" on occasion. But everyone worth a salt would rather make better work than have a good meeting. This is a lesson so many people have learned, but it took being at a place with a culture of mutual, fiery respect for me to truly appreciate it. I'm just glad you would tell me when I was shoveling shit.
With the right carrot, even the weary can be motivated.
It was a weird feeling, helping lead a city-wide effort to recruit LeBron James within weeks of moving here. But there I was, living in corporate housing, bonding with New Yorkers of every socio-economic class to create a movement to bring the world's greatest athlete to the world's greatest city. In the end, the goal was to get notoriously jaded New Yorkers to talk about their beloved city, and by that measure, holy smokes it was successful… even if LeBron took his talents to South Beach. The lesson stayed up north though: for all the user participation nonsense from brands, it's ultimately the right carrot that gets people involved. Keep it simple (and timely), stupid.
Alright, BBH. I won't drag it on any longer. I certainly could. I'm leaving a better, smarter, more creative person than I arrived. That's a transformation I'm really excited about.
And all it took were a thousand sleepless nights and my liver….

Technology in 2013: The Year of the Real World Web
16th January 13
Posted in technology
This post was originally published as an article, 'The Year Ahead For Technology', which appeared in Campaign magazine's first edition of the year last week, 10.01.13.
We may have spent the past few years fretting and fetishising about the time we spend online vs offline, but here's the good news: 2013 is going to be the year we relax a little. We'll get over the novelty of social sharing online and just accept it, distracted instead by the utility and magic revealed when 'real' and 'virtual' worlds start to merge. The physical world becomes properly programmable. The physical web comes into its own.
If there has been a meta creative goal of technology over the past decade or so, I'd wager it is to create online experiences that inch closer to feeling viscerally real; to strive for a 'real world standard', if you will. Cast your mind back to Second Life ten years ago, all the way through to the interactive 3D graphics made possible by Web GL today and the steady advances in virtual reality gaming, now being applied to healthcare. Within multiple industries fuelled by technology, there's a fascination with mirror worlds and visceral experiences. And disappointment when they don't quite measure up to the hype (goodbye then, Second Life).
But what if we flip things for a moment: think about putting the web into the physical world, rather than trying to mimic the physical world online?There are a collection of reasons why the physical web's time has come. Forget QR codes. Witness the leap Augmented Reality made with the announcement of Google's heads up glasses, which justifiably caused a stir in 2012. Then add the emergence of the Internet of Things and Quantified Self into mainstream tech culture, as two sides to the same digital coin:
1. Quantified Self looks at the physical web through a human lens.
An expression coined by Kevin Kelly and Gary Wolf five years ago, it's about self-tracking your performance – often via wearable, digital tools that collect and report how well you're doing – with applications for health & fitness, finance, productivity, education, mobility and more.
2. The Internet of Things looks at the physical web through the lens of objects.
Coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999, it refers to connected sensors embedded in objects making them machine-readable and artificially intelligent – with giant consequences for everything from stock taking to security, architecture to art. A year ago Cisco calculated there were already more devices connected to the Internet than there are people on the planet.
And we're seeing brands back up the promise of both, with self-tracking services like Fitbitand Nike's Fuelband breaking into the mainstream, whilst IoT services are emerging, likeLockitron, which remotely locks or opens your front door (never worry about losing your keys again) and Growerbot, which uses sensors to monitor moisture, light and temperature in your garden and water when needed.
Why now?
Solid broadband and smartphone penetration, super-fast mobile broadband, an expanding free WiFi network in the UK and the emergence of services like the ones above are together creating perfect conditions for the emergence of what might be called a 'real world web'. Even Search is transforming, as Google puts it, to "things, not eporner porno strings." Their Knowledge Graph, introduced in May this year, aims "to understand real world entities and their relationships to one another" and already contains close to 600 million. "Search now understands that the Taj Mahal is a building, but also a music band, a casino and a bunch of restaurants." Then there's Apple's Siri and now Google Now for Android; essentially predictive, personalised search on the move, although that barely does it justice.
The rise of the networked brand
What about brands in this context? All this powering up in technological terms and blurring between real & virtual worlds simply underlines why brands in any category need to grasp the value of operating in a network.
A few things worth considering now:
- If your physical product had a digital layer, what would it be?
- What physical, live or exclusive experience can you give to your network to share?
- Are you thinking about 'views' or subscribers? If you're serious about content marketing to connected users, it's the latter.
- As users flip between devices on the fly, they'll expect a seamless experience: are you designing responsively?
What happens next?
Beyond this year, we will need common protocols enabled by an open web for this to work at scale. Businesses to watch in the meantime: Smartthings, Place Me (a "persistent ambient sensing" mobile app that collects all the sensory data imaginable) and Esri (formerly Geoloqi, a next gen location app). In short, our 'phones will pick up so much real world, ambient data we won't need to look further. To paraphrase Esri's Amber Case: "Think what SMS did for telephones"…
Welcome to the Real World Web.
CES Expectations from a Guy who Should Know Better
7th January 13
Posted in technology
Author: Saneel Radia, Head of Innovation, BBH New York and BBH Labs
The annual Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in Las Vegas today. The following is a piece written by Saneel for the Huffington Post on "What To Expect" this year. You can read other articles in the HuffPo series here . As always, follow @bbhlabs and @saneel for tweets from the showroom floor. You can also see last year's recap on why marketers should be relieved based on what we saw.
I've been going to CES for a decade. As someone interested primarily in virtual (i.e., software-based) products and the role they can play for brand marketers, clearly I'm a glutton for punishment. After all, CES is a show about hardware, even if its lead brand has historically been the original software company, Microsoft. In fact, CES is not only a hardware show, but because of the copycat nature of consumer electronics, it's a show about a particular type of hardware from year to year. Sometime between The Netbook Show, The E-reader Show and The TV show, I started losing faith in CES.
Yet I find myself headed back yet again, this time for The Tablet Hybrid show. Like a nerd voyeur, I'll closely watch tablets breeding with phones in one booth, then breeding with laptops in another. And I have Samsung to thank for it.
You see, a year that proved tremendously successful for Samsung was a bittersweet one for other manufacturers. On the one hand, Samsung has proven that many users do want a device that fits somewhere between a smartphone and a tablet with its huge-for-a-phone (both in size and sales) Galaxy S3. This is on top of its successful Galaxy Note 2 sales. On the other hand, the industry buzzword of "convergence" is finally starting to rear its head. As devices have collided these last few years, manufacturers were pleasantly surprised to see new categories be created instead of just old categories be cannibalized. Just ask Apple. For years, Steve had people leaving Apple stores with iPhone, iPad and MacBook tucked under their arms. However, these new Tablet Hybrids from companies like Samsung fall into a gray area. These mixed breed devices are more clearly competing with their component parts, emerging from the lab as better alternatives to at least one of their parental units. Like some type of nature documentary, this is a case of offspring consuming parent.
I wonder if I'll be able to sense the nervous anxiety this is creating amongst each of the manufacturers showing off their latest creatures on the carnival — oops, I mean "showroom" — floor.
While I am walking through this reminder of Darwinism, convincing myself yet again that this will be my last CES, I can only assume those people with the huge smiles on their faces are Google employees. You see, it's Google's Android Operating System that's the real winner here. Android is running most of these mutant hybrids, which is incredible given Apple's domination of the market as recently as 3 years ago. It's especially intriguing this year, which marks olgun porno the first show since Microsoft officially bowed out of the partnership with the organizers. That means Google is arguably the most important company in Vegas this CES (although Microsoft will certainly be making noise about Xbox, Surface and it's shiny new Windows 8 Operating System).
So, it seems a software company will continue to reign supreme at this annual festival of hardware. I wonder what, if any, impact that will have on the show moving forward? After a decade of attendance, I can safely say that software is the lowlight of the event. There's a sad monotony in playing with clunky interfaces while booth representatives explain why it's great that whatever I'm tinkering with can't possibly integrate with anything I already own. I guess working in a booth in which every device is made by your employer has a way of letting you see the bright side of one-stop shopping (with an employee discount).
But for the rest of us still dreaming of the walk-around-from-booth-to-booth-swiping-our-credit-cards-and-laughing-as-we-throw-the-latest-bit-of-not-yet-available-to-the-masses-technology-into-a-big-grab-bag-that-won't-pose-any-TSA-issues-while-traveling-back-with-us-before-being-installed-instantly-and-without-reference-to-user-manuals-transforming-our-homes-into-scenes-from-sci-fi-movies-where-the-computers-eventually-turn-on-humans-who-for-some-reason-don't-have-the-good-sense-to-welcome-our-new-electronic-overlords experience, I must say… it's actually the lack of integration that's most frustrating. It seems insane all my content and stuff can't just go anywhere, anytime regardless of the logo on the back of the device. Microsoft never seemed to get it right, perhaps because they never truly embraced the cloud. I can only hope Google fares better.
If they do, I may just give up trying to give up on CES, and book next year's ticket right from the showroom floor… on my new iPhone 5 of course.
A Casino War Erupts at the Tables
1st January 13
Posted in People
In what can best be described as a blistering decision, New Jersey legalized online casino gaming in November 2013. Governor Christie was keen to shake things up and he's no slouch when it comes to applying pressure. Christie's vision is deeply rooted in the success of his home state, New Jersey. After the once-thriving Atlantic City hit a rough patch following the recession, 4 casinos shuttered and only 8 remain. Atlantic City gambling revenues increased every year from 1978 to 2006, peaking at $5.2 billion. Since 2007 however, it's been all downhill for America's favorite East Coast gambling destination.
Casino revenues have been dropping for 7 straight years from the $5.2 billion high in 2006 to $2.8 billion in 2013. Overall, that represents a drop of 53% with more to come in 2014. The 2013 slot win was a fraction over $2 billion and the table win was $798 million. The big man – Christie – had to counter with hard-hitting policies to stop the haemorrhaging, and that's precisely what was done with new regulation aimed at legalizing online casino games. It's no mean feat finding the biggest names in the business and getting them to fight it out for online gaming supremacy. But that's what CaesarsCasino.com did when it went toe-to-toe against the competition in New Jersey.
Owned and operated by Caesars Interactive Entertainment (CIE), Caesars Online Casino now offers a virtual gaming platform featuring an impressive array of HTML 5 compatible games. The beauty of the online gaming platform is that players can enjoy the self-same casino excellence that has come to signify the Caesars brand. For over 30 years, Caesars has dominated traditional casino-style entertainment, and online gaming is the new frontier. The no download gaming platform offers no holds barred action. The games come at you fast and furious, direct off your browser and there is no respite from the adrenaline loaded entertainment. It's akin to the electric atmosphere of being ringside at an MMA punch-up, as the big boys and big girls fight for glory.
Stepping into the Gaming Ring: Caesars Online Casino Hits Hard!
New Jersey is known for its rough and tough attitude, but there's also a compassionate side that locals often allude to.

Serves 6
Place melon wedge on each of 6 plates. Arrange 3 prosciutto slices alongside melon or drape over melon and serve.
Cannot be done sooner than an hour before guests arrive. Anchor melon square or round and 1/2 slice of prosciutto with a colorful toothpick. So refreshing as an appetizer on a warm Spring or Summer evening. B.J. Harrick

Dare to find out more than this page can tell you
It's funny how I like to write, but when it comes to writing about myself the words are a challenge. Some say I have a great sense of humor and a quick wit. I am passionate about my LA Kings and Dodgers. I also follow the Lakers and Chargers, so sports is in my blood. I do enjoy participating if I can. I like to get out for a hike, a bike and time at the beach. I ran my first half marathon and I'm working toward my next. I am good with a night out at a fine restaurant, movies, and I love live music. Yet I'm also very comfortable with a night at home with a good movie or book. I'm also an avid fan of amusement parks and enjoy a good thrill...even if it means jumping out of a plane. Warning...more cliches ahead. I'm looking for someone who is my best friend and so much more. This woman will be fun loving, sexy, intelligent, warm and loving. She will challenge me and be willing to grow as well. She will want to share in life's adventures and play with me. It would be great to have a child someday, yet I'm open if she has kids too. I don't think you need to share all of the above with me, yet some of these things would be nice. Thanks for reading through to the end! There is much more to me than what I've written here. If you are daring and up for finding out if we can create something special together...let me know. No matter what...I wish you all the best.

I have two dogs and a cat. It makes for an interesting dynamic. It is true when they say that dogs are man's best friend. These guys stay by my side and keep me entertained. The cat is a cat...he is indifferent.
My favorite cities I've visited are Paris, Berlin and Dublin. I've also enjoyed Zurich, Munich, London, and Amsterdam. I love to travel. It has been too long since my last trip to the Caribbean. I need to get to some place tropical.

Music-U2, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Stevie Wonder, Charlie Parker, too many to write. I have a guilty pleasure of a few select reality shows (Amazing Race, Survivor, Big Brother). Don't hold that against me though.
I go to concerts whenever I can. This past year I've seen both U2 and Foo Fighters twice. Sting is coming up next. I would say I have a wide variety of musical tastes though.
I'm reading The People's History of the United States. It is a deep and incredible read. I'm now reading the Steve Jobs bio. He was amazingly intense. I'm about to read a biography on Walt Disney. I am intrigued by what he was able to create.

Johnny Manziel mania is reaching all sorts of insanity a week after Texas A&M shocked the world by defeating Alabama. It's now being compared to another worldwide personality cult. "In Spence Park, Jake Nolan, Aggie class of 2010, was tailgating with friends from both universities. "Johnny Football ever is like 'Bieber Fever,' but for grown men," Nolan joked, referencing the young pop star. "Aggie football is fun for the first time in as long as I can remember. It's a fantastic environment -- it's been so much fun this season and, yeah, Johnny Football is gonna get the Heisman. That's why they call him Heismanziel -- they made the trophy for him." Well, it could be worse. Manziel could've been compared to Twilight. (via The Bryan-College Station Eagle)

From museums, outdoors, clubs, (not so much anymore. ) bars, hanging out with friends, BBQ, out on a friends boat........ you name it, I can enjoy it.including the horrible sci-fi movie that you can laugh at. I do have a BA from UIC, and yes I have a good job which I do like a lot, more of that to follow in later e-mails. I am a big believer in being polite and manners, and also enjoy people with humor. Somebody who cannot take a joke, or laugh at things, isn't living life the right way. AND yes I am working on new pictures, I DON't have the red devil eyes.I would like to meet a fun loving person, who can just enjoy time, and agrees with me on the person, not the place, is more important on a date. Meaning, whatever you do will be fun.

Loyalty is VERY important, and willingness to give and get is also just as high up on the list. If you are even close, or up for learning more, lets talk!!

The first quarter of 2015 was riddled with a variety of event risks and heightened volatility, but surprisingly developed market performance remained fairly robust. Fueled by the European Central Bank's (ECB's) quantitative easing (QE) initiatives, nowhere were these returns more pronounced than in Europe. On average, local European equity markets returned 18%, and their bond market counterparts 4%. However, U.S. dollar appreciation was yet another formidable force in the quarter and detracted from practically all local returns - both emerging and developed markets alike.
"Good news/bad news," earmarked the state of the Japanese economy in the first quarter of 2015. Real GDP resumed growing, putting an end to back-to-back quarterly declines, and technically exited Japan out of recession. However, the rate of this pick-up was widely below the 4% increase that most economists expected. Japan may have escaped recession, but did so at a disappointing pace. Despite ongoing QE by the Bank of Japan, the yen was the second best performing currency in the G10 community and only relinquished -0.30% to the U.S. dollar.
Dollar-Bloc Countries:
For some time now, the economies of Australia, New Zealand and Canada had all been struggling with the realities of lower commodity demand. The abrupt rise in currency volatility last quarter took matters from bad to worse for all three currencies. In New Zealand, headline inflation experienced its first decline since 2012. Having been one of the first major central banks to hike rates after the financial crisis of 2008, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) signaled an end to its tightening bias last period. In Australia, the central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate to a new record low and stated that the local currency remains overvalued. Not to be outdone, The Bank of Canada cut key interest rates as well by 0.25%.
A weak commodity complex in conjunction with dovish central bank mandates did not bode well for the currencies of this trio. The currencies of Australia, New Zealand and Canada relinquished ¿6.95%, -4.19%, and -8.40%, respectively to the U.S. dollar
European Countries:
As expected, the ECB delivered an expansion of its asset purchase program to include sovereign debt. Total purchases would amount to €60 billion per month. Notably, the program was intended to end in September 2016, but could also extend beyond that date if necessary. This was possibly the most important distinction, the announcement was absent of a hard coded end date. In theory, Europe's QE could extend well beyond the "recommended" date of September 2016.
A secondary European narrative last quarter was almost entirely a replay of events that made headlines in 2011. With a newly elected Prime Minister at the helm, prospects for yet another Greek default began to resurface. The potential consequences of a "Grexit" did reverberate through global markets, but the volatility was more muted and shorter lived than the 2011 episode.
Despite the volatility infused by these dueling forces, Greek sovereign default and QE, most European peripheral bonds still generated handsome local returns. However, when adjusted back to U.S. dollars, European bond returns were overwhelmed by euro weakness, which surrendered 11.25% to the U.S. dollar during the reporting period.
U.K. and the Nordic Economies:
Like so many other economies, inflation in the U.K. also took a downward turn in the first quarter of 2015. The majority of the downward pricing pressure was almost entirely a subset of falling energy prices. Consequently, members of the Bank of England voted unanimously to keep rates on hold after being divided in prior official announcements. The British pound lost 4.7% to the U.S. dollar. Despite this loss, the pound was still one of the better performing developed currencies on a relative basis.
With West Texas Intermediate Crude prices off in excess of 40% from their 2014 highs, it was no surprise that consumer confidence for the world's seventh-largest oil producer would begin to decline as well. Norway posted a string of consumer sentiment drops in the first quarter. Interestingly, neither Norwegian employment nor inflation manifested the effects of lower oil prices. Norwegian unemployment continued to anchor around a healthy 3% and Consumer Price Index (CPI) was comfortably stationed at 2.0%. Sweden continued to combat deflationary forces sourced from weak European export demand. Late in the quarter, the Riksbank (Swedish Central Bank) surprised markets by cutting its main policy rates to -25% and further upsized its own QE program. The move clearly underlined the dovish bias at the Swedish central bank.
The first quarter 2015 return for Federated Prudent DollarBear Fund was -4.14% (Class A Shares at NAV). The return for the inverse of the U.S. Dollar Index was -8.96% for the same period. The fund's absolute return was largely the effect of U.S. dollar strength against most of the fund's currency holdings.
Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. Other share classes may have experienced different returns than the share class presented. To view performance current to the most recent month-end and for after tax returns, click on the Performance tab. Performance does not reflect the maximum 4.5% sales charge for Class A Shares. If included, it would reduce the performance quoted.
Click the Performance tab for standard fund performance.
The fund's performance in the first quarter outperformed its respective benchmark, the U.S. Dollar Index. The outperformance was largely due to a significant underweight in the euro, relative to the Fund's index. The fund also benefited from an underweight allocation to the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. Dollar Index. Lastly, the fund also had an overweight allocation, relative to the U.S. Dollar Index, in the Swiss franc, which also benefited performance.
European QE and a strengthening U.S. dollar proved to be bookend themes for the opening quarter of 2015. These two economic forces will very likely persist in the coming months and continue to sculpt global risk premiums. Likewise, monitoring the state of the Energy sector will prove pivotal in deciphering the overall trajectory of inflation. The price of oil has rarely been as important to global markets as it is today. All the formerly mentioned factors will play directly into yet another pillar economic consideration: U.S. monetary policy.
The outlook for interest rates in the United States will not only drive the U.S. dollar, but have consequences on the direction of global bonds as a whole. A focal discussion over the next months will once more revolve around the timing of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike. Recently, the nature of this decision has become much more global in composition. With such a striking divergence from its G10 peers, U.S. monetary decisions will likely begin to incorporate more international inputs.
European QE has exhibited ample promise thus far; all three of its transmission mechanisms appear to be firing on all cylinders. The price action in the EU bond markets has been very rewarding; this is despite all the uncertainty in Greece. European equity markets are making record highs, and the Manufacturing sector is being energized by a weaker euro. There is also strong evidence of improving trends in both consumer and business confidence. Nevertheless, the risk in Europe remains skewed to the downside, but has diminished materially in the past three months.
Fund management expects inflation in the EU to remain very low, but to start increasing gradually as oil prices bottom. Central to this recovery is one critical element: continuing weakness of the euro. A strong currency defeats one of the major covenants of any QE program. This is a primary reason why we remain structurally negative on the euro. Fund management continues to hold a significant underweight in the euro relative to the U.S. Dollar Index.

EUPORA – Coaching searches can oftentimes be long and strenuous.
That was not the case for Eupora when it came time to hiring a new baseball coach.
"We are very fortunate with the hand we were dealt to have someone as capable as coach (Michael) Knight to fill that area that was already on staff," athletic director Junior Graham said. "He is excited about the opportunity. He understands how important baseball is to the community and he is ready for the challenge."
Knight, who previously served as wide receiver, defensive end and special team coach for the Eagles, does not have to travel far for his new role. He also has the unique "advantage" that he is already familiar with a large majority of the athletes.
"It gives him an advantage over anybody else from the outside," Graham said. "He knows the type kids he is dealing with. He knows their strength and weaknesses already because he watched them play and he has coached a majority in football. That makes the transition that much better because he knows the kids that have been through the battle."

I am professionally, financially, and emotionally secure which allows me be independent , very spontaneous and live a good life. I work hard, but have to have fun while doing it. If I can't smile and laugh while working why am I doing it. I enjoy a nice dinner and movie, but there is so much more out there. I do try to do the healthy / fitness thing, but I don't let it rule my life. I love outdoor activities like cycling, hiking, and running. Family is very important to me, and my children will always be a priority for me. What I'm looking for in a woman... is someone who is honest, compassionate, easy going, and enjoys life. Are you up for sharing new experiences?
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Cycling, Football, Hockey, Inline skating, Running, Skiing, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs, Fish, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc.
I like Cats, Horses
Some other viewpoint
I enjoy all sports, entertainment, and food. I like to have good conversation over drinks and some small bites before dinner.
My favorite things are my kids. I like to travel, laugh, and enjoy life. I love animals. I enjoy the quite of the country, but like the city night life.
I like to hang out with friends and listen live acoustic music over some pints of Guniess. I love to cook. I make some great Thai dishes.
I read anything. My favorite reading is Science Fiction, but I do pick up random "best seller" novel now and then. I have gone back and started re-reading the classic novels. Why did I start with War and Peace. ;)

educated dalit, working in office elite,
his journey from rags to riches,
hardly matters for high caste there,
safeguarded through religious care,
see the dalit with crucifying glare,
wonder how could a dalit dare,
to overcome his sordid tale,
of breaking away his caste jail,
for them its not his education,
but simply unearned reservation,
well, they prefer to stay ignorant,
rather than be observant and agree,
to their sly ancestors religious vagary,
of keeping majority of population,
religiously away from education,
widely making negative propagation,
low caste deserve condemnation,
now in era of globalization,
they provide legal justification,
by granting on paper certain reservation,
but see the anarchy of socialization,
majority of dalit population,
struggling for handful reservation,
while minority ruling population
gets the rest as gratification,
the educated dalit wonder,
there are many like him who thunder,
for the dalit rights to be consider,
and its time to learn from past blunder,
individuals fight and meek surrender,
unless someone like dr. ambedkar,
been true dalit caretaker,
gather the courage again,
to teach the dalits how to gain,
social rights lost in vain,
perceiving false political fame.
