If You're Thinking of Living In/Silvermine, Conn.; Enclave Steeped in History and the Arts
By LISA PREVOST
Published: December 30, 2001
DEVOTEES of the comic strip ''Hi and Lois'' may have noticed the occasional reference to the Silvermine Golf Club or the Silvermine Market.
Both are favorite haunts of the strip's writer, Brian Walker, who scratches out his ideas in a studio space above the Silvermine Market in the community of the same name. The son of Mort Walker, creator of both ''Hi and Lois'' and ''Beetle Bailey,'' Mr. Walker, 49, grew up in Greenwich and lived in Westchester for a time. But for the last 15 years, he and his family have lived in a converted barn in a locale defined by atmosphere, not legal boundaries.
Mr. Walker has grown especially fond of what he calls ''this pocket of quaintness,'' a swath of wooded suburbia that follows the Silvermine River from upper Norwalk into corners of Wilton and New Canaan. In his mind, Silvermine stands out because it is steeped in history and the arts rather than lavish displays of wealth.
''In general, the scale of houses in Silvermine is saner,'' Mr. Walker said. ''They're nice antiques, and they're expensive, but they're not showy.''
Silvermine's quirky collection of architectural styles -- from converted carriage houses to a riverfront A-frame to traditional colonials -- reflects the area's evolution from farming community in the 1700's to mill center to artists' enclave to suburb. Narrow, winding roads enhance the historic feel, as do the thick woods growing between houses. Gurgling streams and placid ponds serve as the backdrop for idyllic gardens.
The name derives from early settlers' talk of a mine in the area. But a silver rush was probably little more than wishful thinking -- no one has ever verified the existence of such a mine.
The heart of Silvermine is the river, which, in the 18th century, supported a dozen or more mills. One of the mills still stands among a group of historic buildings that make up the Silvermine Tavern, a popular restaurant and inn. That mill produced wooden pegs, posts and beams, some of which were used in the 250-year-old tavern building.
Silvermine's outer edges are rather fuzzy. ''It's sort of an amorphous area that builders like to stretch because it's popular,'' said Lou Jacksits, a broker at Country Living Associates in Wilton.
ONE resident expert, David Borglum, limits the enclave to a mile out on either side of the Silvermine River, bounded by Huckleberry Hill Road in Wilton to the north, and James Street in Norwalk to the south. Nearly 1,700 households are contained in that area; most are in Norwalk.
Mr. Borglum is the grandson of Solon Borglum, the sculptor known for his depictions of figures from the American frontier. Raised in Nebraska, Solon Borglum studied art in Cincinnati and Paris. He came to Connecticut in the early 1900's seeking a barn large enough to accommodate his work, David Borglum said.
The barn he settled on eventually became a meeting place for artists, many of whom followed him to the Silvermine area. They generally gathered on Sundays to critique or ''knock'' each other's work -- thus, their group became known as the Knockers Club. Artists' studios began to appear up and down the river. The telltale windows -- tall and wide -- can still be seen on many properties throughout Silvermine.
The Knockers Club grew into a formal artists' guild that now, as part of the Silvermine Guild Arts Center, has 300 members. Few of these artists live in Silvermine anymore, according to Cynthia Clair, the center's executive director, but the guild continues to define the area.
Some 3,400 people from throughout the region attended classes last year at the arts center on Silvermine Road in New Canaan. The center's gallery holds more than 20 shows a year featuring many local artists.
''Silvermine still to this day has a reputation as a kind of eclectic, funky community,'' Ms. Clair said.
Converted artists' studios on the river are very desirable and ''always an easy sell,'' said William Larkin, sales manager for the New Canaan office of William Pitt Realtors. One restored mill house with a separate studio/guest house on the river in Norwalk was recently listed for $1.945 million.
Though antique homes in good shape can sell for nearly as much as a new home in Silvermine, most properties in the Norwalk section sell for less than $1 million, according to Mr. Jacksits. Outside of the historic tavern area, many tend to be modest split-levels and colonials on a half-acre or more of land.
Prices rise sharply in Wilton and New Canaan. In Wilton, Old Kings Highway is considered one of Silvermine's more affordable streets because of its many cottage-style houses on smaller lots.
CONDOMINIUMS at Silvermine Woods in Wilton come with membership to the Silvermine Golf Club, a 27-hole private course with views of Long Island Sound. (The club currently has a waiting list for new members. Fees are not made public.) The 24 detached houses have three or four bedrooms and attached garages. One recently went under binder in the $800,000 range.
Currently, the only new construction in Silvermine is in New Canaan. Two new colonials on acre lots on Silvermine Road were recently listed for $2.15 million each.
The only public school within Silvermine is Norwalk's Silvermine Elementary School. About 515 students attend the K-5 school, which also serves some students who live outside Silvermine. Classes average 20 to 24 students, with four classes for each grade.
Students benefit from their proximity to the arts center. Through a collaborative relationship with the school, guild artists have helped students sculpt masks, create a mural and craft story quilts.
Roughly half of the students in kindergarten through second grade take advantage of the school's optional ''Mano a Mano'' all-day bilingual program, according to Iziar Mikolic, the school's principal. The program uses a team-teaching approach to instruct children in both English and Spanish.
Though the children who live in Silvermine are scattered among various public and private schools in three towns, the Silvermine Community Association sponsors a host of activities aimed at maintaining a sense of cohesiveness. One longtime tradition is the annual visit from Santa Claus, who rides into the tavern parking lot aboard an antique fire truck on Christmas Eve. The association's annual Silver Miler road race helps raise money for a college scholarship fund for students from Silvermine.
SILVERMINE TAVERN offers live jazz on weekends and monthly wine dinners. The paintings and farm implements that cover the dining room walls are the leftover inventory of an antique business operated in the 30's and 40's by a former owner, J. Kenneth Byard.
Some members of the community association hope to obtain historic district status for the tavern neighborhood, which is considered the nucleus of Silvermine. A committee is researching the history of properties in the area as the first step in the process, according to Sue Palinkos, the association's treasurer.
One well-known houses in that section is the former residence of Johnny Gruelle, creator of the Raggedy Ann characters and stories. However, the committee members have their work cut out for them: Gruelle's name has been associated with so many properties in Silvermine that it seems ''every house is the old Raggedy Ann cottage,'' Mr. Walker quipped.

Johnny Gruelle's daughter, Marcella, is said to have found the doll while playing in her grandmother's attic. After she showed it to her father, he spruced it up by adding button eyes and a heart on its chest. Marcella was not well, and Gruelle sought to amuse his ailing daughter by spinning tales about the doll and her many doll friends. He wound up selling the stories to a publisher, and the doll followed soon after. However, Marcella died when she was just 13. She is buried along with her father and mother in the Silvermine Cemetery. Map of Connecticut highlights Silvermine.

Video Review: Lois Ehlert's 'The Scraps Book'
Milwaukee artist Lois Ehlert, famous for her many colorful picture books including "Color Zoo" and "Eating the Alphabet," has published a new book that takes children and other readers inside her studio and explains how she works.
Like her other books, "The Scraps Book" (Beach Lane Books, $17.99) is told through collages. She remembers how her parents, who liked to sew and do woodworking, encouraged her to make things. She often makes her collages through objects found in nature and everyday things around her. She also has some collections for inspiration and other uses, such as a collection of ice fishing decoys. »Read Full Article

Roaster Tasting Notes: This may be the strangest coffee Beansmith has ever carried. Sweet and savory, bright and heavy, and laden with exotic mystery fruits. This coffee is not for the faint of heart, but for the true coffee adventurer. All the flavors are so explosive it is hard to nail it down to just a few key descriptions. Bali Kintamani is not the kind of coffee you will find in typical coffee shops, though you might find wildly creative baristas pulling shots of it as an unconventional espresso, or brewing single cup pour-overs of this bean in high end shops that cater to coffee enthusiasts. If you are a self proclaimed "coffee geek" you should definitely experience this bean.

Rhynchonelliformean brachiopods
Central Iberian Zone
|Issue Date:
|Instituto Geológico y Minero de España
|Reyes-Abri, J., Gutiérrez-Marco, J.C., Villas, E. (2011). Biostratigraphy of the Middle Ordovician Brachiopods from Central Spain. En: Ordovician of the World. Instituto Geológico y Minero. p. 463-472.
|A recent taxonomic study on the rhynchonelliformean brachiopods from the Darriwilian dark shales of the Central-Iberian Zone, Central Spain (Reyes-Abril, 2009; Reyes-Abril et al., 2010) has considerably increased the number of orthides and strophomenides known across the whole Iberian Peninsula. The studied brachiopods were collected in 58 localities of 6 provinces from the regions of Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucía and Extremadura. Middle Ordovician brachiopods previously known in the area were mainly derived from upper Darriwilian rocks, while most of the new studied brachiopods are from middle Darriwilian rocks. A total of 21 genera are now known from the whole Darriwilian strata of Iberia including the strophomenide genera Aegiromena and Dactylogonia, as well as 19 orthide genera, including Almadenorthis, Gutiorthis, Orthambonites, Paralenorthis, Sivorthis, Apollonorthis, Atlantida, Brandysia, Eodalmanella, Howellites, Cacemia, Heterorthina, Tissintia, Mcewanella, Crozonorthis, Nocturnellia and Lipanorthis, plus two new genera of the families Cremnorthidae and Harknessellidae. Considering the regional biostratigraphical and biochonological context, in which the Ibero-Armorican brachiopod biozones can be easily correlated with biozones based on other fossil groups, we have followed the Mediterranean stratigraphic scale, originally proposed in Bohemia (Havlícˇek and Marek, 1973) and updated and completed in Iberia (Gutiérrez-Marco et al., 1995, 2002). Thus we are referring the stratigraphic range of the studied brachiopods to the Mediterranean regional stages Oretanian and Dobrotivian, approximately correlatable to the middle and upper stage slices (Dw2-3) of the global Darriwilian stage. Exception made with the uppermost Dobrotivian, which extends into the Upper Ordovician, correlating with the lowermost Sandbian (Gutiérrez-Marco et al., 2008; Bergström et al., 2009). Brachiopods were first used in the late nineteenth century to subdivide the Ordovician succession in Iberia (Delgado, 1897). Since then, different brachiopod biozones have been proposed for the Middle Ordovician rocks of Spain (Born, 1918; García Alcalde and Arbizu,1982; Villas, 1985; Young, 1985; Gutiérrez-Marco et al., 1984, 2002). Recent improvements in the detailed stratigraphical knowledge of many successions in the Central Iberian Zone, and on the taxonomy of important brachiopod species, have allowed the redefinition and updating of previous brachiopod biozones, which are examined in the present note.

Wonderful condo - excellent location - FAB owner
July 18, 2014
We loved the condo - 3rd floor and yes this unit has the best view! 8 miles to Padre National Seashore - a must. Owner was quick to answer questions. Quick walk to beach, though we drove in order to carry our chairs. Will for sure be back!

Great Location, Great price
August 31, 2013
Overall the condo was great and suited our needs. The outside could use some sprucing up and the pool could use some chemicals. Occasionally when we are at the beach we like to take a quick dip in the pool. The pool at this condo was cloudy and dirty. You could tell that it needed some attention. The condo itself was comfortable and having the tile floor was great for cleaning up any tracked in sand. There were no kleenex nor any dishwashing liquid in the condo so we had to supply our own. The location was also great because it was steps from the beach and it was nice and quiet. For the price I think we did get our monies worth and would stay there again. Thanks.

I have to say that this place was very pretty, well decorated and above all VERY CLEAN! The property was in the perfect location, close to the beach, next to restaurants and stores was convenient too! The entire property site was well maintained and great for familys and friends. The kids loved the pool which was right behind our porch. The home was very cozy and felt like our home away from home. We will definitely be booking that rental again. You should too! I can't rave enough

The property looks very nice in the pictures.. The property needs some up keeping and updating.. We were not happy with how dirty it was and yet we paid an automatic $100 cleaning fee.. There was a crack between the door and frame so we were killing flys the entire time. The property could use some maintenance, including the pool is not sparkling blue. If the condo had some maintenance done it would be a 5 star.

Sleeps 6. Pets accepted, great for families. Beds are very comfortable. Soft sheets. Washer and dryer really helps. Very clean. There are movies to watch and board games for the kids to play while you are in the unit. You have your own porch to sit out on. You are within walking distance to the beach. The condo has its own pool. Its a very nice place to stay; home away from home. It has granite counter tops, glass top stove, all tile floors. We really had a great time and will come again.

Never Happened Condo's
September 14, 2010
The reason I never rented the place is because of the difficulty of getting hold of the rental agent, and all the hidden fees that jack up the price when I finally did speak to her. We stayed at the Seagull Condos instead. Extremely easy transactions, all rates where on website right from the beginning and the stay was excellent. Friendly and courtious staff right from the get go.

Beach Bungalow review
August 26, 2010
The condo had recently been redone and had all new furniture, so it was pretty nice, but the ceiling fan didn't work in the living room and two windows in the living room leaked when it rained. Also, the pool was pretty small and we had to drive to get down to the beach. It was very spacious, though, and had a small game room that was open all night.
C Hill
Awesome Experience!
June 6, 2009
We love, love, love this condo. This was our first family vacation with two small children and it couldn't have been better! The kids felt right at home. The condo was very clean and had everything you could need! Rental company was very friendly and professional. We loved visiting Port Aransas and will be coming back soon!

QWAK,A big BUMMER is coming,nothing you have not heard befor from J4D or my self but when it comes from ON HIGH some how the ))))ECCO((((seems LOUDER!:)http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/4125947/Willem-Buiter-warns-of-massive-dollar-collapse.htmlthe DUCK
This fellow is rather naive. There is a purpose to the jobs bank that helps the company run better - keeps its workers through cyclical changeovers of car models. But there is little purpose to some other upcoming payments. The Senator who came close to establishing the compromise understands this.#1 issue is GM's upcoming payment to the Union to create an off balance sheet healthcare company for RETIRED workers. Yes, GM runs around today, as does the Union, telling all how they lowered their employee costs. But a good chunck of the "lowering" hasn't been paid for. A $6B check needs to be written in '09 for the '08 negotiation creating the off balance sheet healthcare for RETIRED workers.Yes, the American taxpayer, so far, is being asked to provide better healthcare, for RETIRED GM workers, then they themselves are promised.You didn't know this? Ask your Congressional representatives why they didn't tell you. If they babble on, slap 'em, wake 'em up, and make sure you don't create a blueblood retirement class because you were so stupid and slug like to accept what Govt is about to do.Then ask them about the $4B they gave to the Fiat family a few years ago. After the babbling, ask for a clawback on executive comp BEFORE taxpayer funds are provided to the management team. Do you know that all executive retirement plans are fully funded, separate from the partially funded employee ones (which the Govt insures with your money!)? Why are the huge executive awards not on the negotiation table? Yes, those payments were made in the past, but they were just as uneconomic as the one employee plan I tell you about above. If they want funding by the taxpayer, they too have to give up their ill gotten gains.
QWAK,dawn,There will always be SOME who try to EXPLOIT and take UNFAIR advantage,that is the REASON for the RUEL!;)That and the fact SOME DUCKS hunt BACK and "SITTING PEOPLE" are even easier to BLAST out of the WATER! LOL:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E22i_3BD3Ro&feature=relatedthe DUCK
I wonder what this Brit thinks of his own country whose currency in the past year has imploded against both the USD and EUR. The author reminds me of Alpha, always throwing rocks without checking his glass house.
QWAK,canucanoe,It is sort of like trying to decide WHICH pile of S**T smells WORSE! LOLAt the CENTRAL BANK level, ALL COUNTRIES FIAT CURRENCIES are WORTHLESS -- with nothing but BLIND TRUST backing them up! :(Arguing about which is better or worse is realy SILLY and just spliting FROG HAIRS, so I will let YOU and alpha debate THAT!the DUCK
Yo duck... the short answer to the prospect of a massive decline in the American dollar is "So What"... as related in an earlier article. Imagine that? People are so jaded and just so totally absorbed by a miriad of distractions all the time that they simply express themselves by saying 'who cares'? They are in effect saying... 'there's nothing we can do about it, let it happen.' If they can't wish it away, they will just ignore it. Petty amazing that when there's a mess to clean up, nobody wants to bother with it. Is that an overstatement of the 'fat and lazy American syndrome', or what? If I have been doing all the right things for my family, I'm thinking we might have some hope of surviving the worst of it. I love my family, but the average American can't seem to look at their unwillingness to do something about a fast approaching financial collapse, that they don't want to face the fact that they are turning their head and like everything else they do nowadays, is ignore the problem. If they were asked whether or not they love and care about their own family... those little helpless kids who need them... would they deny them and say 'there's nothing we can do'? Well... I'm afraid that's exactly what they're doing, by not facing their own demons of willful neglect through ignorance. All I've been able to do beyond saying my peice here, is saying my prayers to the Almighty God for His help and guidance for those that don't know what to do. A few hundered dollars to people by the incoming president isn't going to be any help and is going to be just one more nail in the coffin via higher taxes. STRIKE ONE for the new guy in the presidential hot seat.

Skip to comments.Possible Running Mates for Sarah Palin in 2012 Presidential Election
Posted on 02/13/2011 1:38:45 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
The race for the 2012 Republican nomination for President is becoming more concrete. GOP candidates made their pitches to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington on Feb. 10-12 and a straw poll of attendees was taken. The Washington Post reports Rep. Ron Paul of Texas won the poll, with about 30 percent of the 3,742 ballots cast.
The poll doesn't say much as not one candidate received more votes than the other. Some of the biggest news from the weekend came from former vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin and she didn't even attend the conference. Palin hired former Bob Dole campaigner Michael Glassner as her chief of staff, signaling a possible run for the White House.
Now the speculation and discourse about Palin's politics will continue and gradually build to a formal announcement running for president (or not). Who would be Palin's ideal running mate should she win the Republican nomination? Here are some suggestions based upon traditional party tickets and even some like-minded individuals who would serve Republicans well in 2012.
Ron Paul would be ideal since he is from a southern state and can get a lot of voters in the huge Lone Star state. He could also galvanize more tea party voters and convince independents who lean to the right that Palin is a good idea. Paul will be 76 when the 2012 presidential election happens and then 80 when a potential first term is over. At least he'll only be vice president, but Paul will serve as a foil to Palin's youthful exuberance.
Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina is an excellent choice for Palin....
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Big grain of salt needed.
Palin / West '12
Grain of salt the size of an F-150 required.
Rand Paul would be excellent.
The speech yesterday only had me more convinced. Rep. Allen West.
At this point I have a feeling that its only a four year term and West runs in her stead in 2016...I see her now as a necessary transitional leader who will give the four years everything she's got and leave the country in his steady hands.
In some ways a "quitter" ;)
I like Sara but, if she runs, Jesus Christ could be her running mate and it wouldn't help.
Personally I would love to see a Palin/West ticket. I believe they are our only hope to getting America back to where we should be.
From Dole's wildly successful '96 campaign? Great.
Unfortunately, I agree.
So you'll let the media, DNC, Hollywood, nutroots, academia and Obots make your decisions for you? Thats sad.
In some quarters it would hurt. I disagree with you by the way.
This guy is obsessed with her picking a VP from the South.
She won't need help carrying the South.
I'm hard pressed to think of any Republican needing help down here.
I believe that this election will be won in the Midwest.
Sorry, No personal insult is intended ...but I call total BS on this article.
...even a giant grain of salt is far too little for the tripe that the msm attempts to spin as to current "winners and loosers" on the Republican side, before anyone (other than Herman Cain) has actually formally declared.
Oh, please.. yer killin' me here.
Big grain. Frankly, I don't even think she's going to run.
So who's next?
How hard is it to understand that she wouldn't be attacked like she has been, if the bad guys didn't fear her? Why do they fear her, if she's unelectable?
Bachmann, DeMint, Palin (in alphabetical order :). Any prez/vp combo from those three would be exceptionally good for our country.
Palin/Kasich? Palin/Branstad?
Mary Fallin, governor of Oklahoma.
unbeatable ticket
I agree, the whole article is just plain silly. C-PAC has just proven it's own irrelevancy. The behavior of the Libertarians, meaning their treatment of Cheney and Rumsfeld, not the Gay Party, simply highlighted the important differences between the Libertarians and the conservatives.
C-PAK had their own little coming out party last week and it wasn't a pretty sight. The fact that it occurred in the middle of the Egyptian crisis only served to re-inforce the important differences that the Libertarians have with conservatives. The Paulers have more respect and concern for the Muslims than they do the Israelis, and that is an insurmountable difference.
BARF. I'd rather give up Texas.
I don't see Palin agreeing to run for the second spot on anyone's ticket again. She's running to be at the head of the ballot.
I'm not familiar with the lady, and I confess to being a bit confused.
Are you suggesting that she would be a good running mate, or that she would have trouble running in the South?
Why do they fear her.
Because if she runs, she will inspire hundreds of credible Tea-Party minded primary candidates to run in GOP primaries, as well.
We have already witnessed what 87 new GOP congressmen can do.
Imagine what another 40 newbee's in the house and 5 or 6 more in the senate will do.
Regardless of how she personally does in the primaries.
So, it depends on one's definition of winning.
...I agree...she's appealing but not the right choice...we need a real gut fighter this go around....nevermind trying to find a Reaganesque candidate....we need a Nixon...a real hard baller...Islam is coming.
Ron Paul would be ideal since he is from a southern state and can get a lot of voters in the huge Lone Star state.
Maybe William Browning should take a few moments and review the electoral results in Texas for Ron Paul when he's made statewide runs. He's a joke in a statewide race. However I don't really think it matters who would be the VP nominee as Texas will vote in the GOP column for President and a win is all that is needed to secure the Texas EC votes. A Paul landslide isn't necessary...LOL
That's the ticket!
Quadruple Barf......
"Rubio would also help carry the all-important state of Florida. He is 39 years old and would have just as much energy and spark to run a campaign along with Palin. The downside is that he, like Palin, doesn't have much experience in actual politics."
Not much experience in actual politics? What planet has this ignorant Obama voter been living on? Palin has 19 years experience in local, state and national politics, including everything from city council to running for vice president and running a very successful PAC (that got a lot of conservatives elected in 2010). Rubio, despite his relative youth, has over 12 years experience, also at all levels of politics- local, state and national.
At least you got Jesus Christ's name right.
But if you can't even spell Sarah right you won't give yourself much credibility 'round here.
Terry Gilliam renounced his U.S. citizenship in '06, and he'd probably have run afoul of the residency requirement anyway. Michael Palin as a native-born Yorkshireman was right out already.
Of the 5 ro 6 speakers I heard - only Mitch Daniels actually laid out proposals for gov't spending reforms - including SS and Medicare. Others just poked fun at Obama.
The red ink he termed the "new red menace"
No, but those same people managed to drive Bush's approval numbers to the low 30's and guaranteed the election of 0bama. Unfortunately sometimes good people get a raw deal. Obama will still be liked by 50% of the people. Whoever beats him will have to at least as personally popular.
As a hugh Palin supporter (I'm series), I was excited about West. Do not think I am our to trash him, but read about him on wikipedia. There was an incident in Iraq. He had to retire. I hate even pointing it out because I loved his q and a at cpac and I'm not a concern troll btw. He may be great, I like him, but as a military guy the media will make a big deal that he is quick to anger or quick on the trigger (as in the incident mentioned). They'll turn it into Abu Grahb (sp). Willing to be talked down about West, I like him.
But I agree that Pallin will have to have someone versed in foreign affairs if she runs...like Bolton.
Sorry, I'm suggesting she would make a good running mate. Solid conservative, experienced in both state and national politics. Oklahoma can be considered a western state, a southern state or a mid-western state.
As long as we're talking about funny men with British accents, it's a shame Mark Steyn isn't eligible. (Toronto-born and still a Canadian citizen.) He'd be as funny as Joe Biden, except intentionally.
I have just come to see it as some things exacerbate some peoples' latent mental illness and let it go at that....
Palin/Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Palin / John Bolton '12
With the support of the Ron Paul Texas juggernaut, Debra Medina couldn't get past Perry or Kay Bailey in the gubernatorial primaries.
Paul would drag down any ticket he is on in a state-wide Texas race...outside of maybe his own district.
I wish people would leave My Senator Rubio alone,he has only been a Senator for a Month FGS. We would appreciate it if he be allowed to work for us Floridians. This insanity has been going on for the last eight Months. We worked very hard for Marco against CC,and it was an uphill battle. Let Marco and his supporters catch our breath. Defeating Senile Bill Nelson is our next battle.

Rated 2 out of 5�by KG Not too great Every time you lift your feet to walk the inserts move up and down both sounding and feeling weird August 9, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5�by Et38 Odd fit Unfortunately they didn't work as I hoped in my sneakers...too spongy and rolly in the heel July 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by whitey This product worked better than I would have believed! I was experiencing a lot of pain in both feet, primarily in the heel area, which I was told was from plantar fasciitis. I wore these insoles for about three weeks and the pain is almost gone. I've done nothing else to ease the pain so I completely credit the insoles. July 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by ed Great Insole Great Insole for Plantar Fasciitis. From day one it helped my foot. July 13, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Donnie22 Provides some relief I've been using these inserts for about two weeks. They have provided good relief and have allowed me to continue to stay active. The only issue I have had is that the "sticky" gel on the bottom has lost its adhesiveness and is allowing the insoles to move some during movement. June 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Antman35 Great Product Great product, comfortable.... best in-soles... will buy again! June 22, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Brooks1322 No comfort Did not make a difference. Would not buy again. Tried a set in work shoes and running shoes and didn't help in either June 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Christie Pain free activity My son has plantar which causes him extreme pain. Without the insoles he cannot walk without pain. These support him perfectly and he is able to do normal activity and even play sports pain free. We just replace them as they wear out. May 27, 2016

Found the product satisfactory but wish they an Ecup as well.Your service was qujick and efficient, but I am suprised at having to pay VAT - thought clothing was VAT exempt and this garment is offered by other suppliers minus VAT!

My department, History of Art, is one of the strongest programs in the school, and it has a reputation in the work field. I am confident that people will respect my degree, but it is not exactly what I want to do. I would rather have communications or marketing or public relations instead, but Bryn Mawr's major options are very limited. There are no business majors of any kind, so it may be hard to market myself for a job in the future, without another graduate school degree.
The English department at my school is varied in terms of professors. There is an intense focus on gender inequality and feminist theory which can sometimes feel uncomfortable if you aren't a lesbian. In fact, a lot of school can feel uncomfortable if you aren't a lesbian.
There are so many majors to choose from at Bryn Mawr, especially considering that students can always major at Haverford and Swarthmore as well and most importantly all the majors at Bryn Mawr are very important to the school and are very academically challenging and rewarding. I am a Classics major at Bryn Mawr and thought this program may be dying out in other institutions, it is alive and well at Bryn Mawr. I have incredible opportunities to study abroad on sites in Italy and Greece and I have an enormous amount of books and knowledge to gain right on campus as well. Students who graduate from Bryn Mawr are definitely going somewhere.
A lot of people are around to help you find your way and discover what major you should pursue. Very helpful/supportive community.
Can Create Independent Major – There are a lot of excellent options, you can even major through Haverford or create an Independent Major.

plasmas... underpowered?LOL BAD KID ALERT
elitewarrior500 posted...plasmas... underpowered?LOL BAD KID ALERTThey're not as powerful as past games is the point. Which is true. A stick is still an instant kill, so unless you can only throw them melee range, they'll never be considered "underpowered", but they're not what they used to be. I'm probably going to start picking frags, myself, other than my BTB loadout.

The "Jabbeke" Jaguar XK 120
John L: The media is so corrupted. It is amazing to watch the transformation that has gone on over the past twenty years with so called "journalism" Wow! I am surprised however, being the kind of society that we are that mainstream media has not run with the background on Clinton's open marriage, her lifestyle and their child's natural father. Press is certainly aware of all of that and has know that for a long time. Off limits? Not sure, President of the United Sates? I ain't saying, I'm just saying!

COONS: I would move swiftly as a senator to repeal don't ask, don't tell. I think it is discrimination, plain and simple. I've met with and spoken to veterans here in Delaware who've served our nation honorably for decades, several with top-secret clearances, but who could do so only at the expense of denying who they were and the relationships that they wanted to have. In my view, we should be making progress in this country towards recognizing the full range of human experience, and repealing don't ask, don't tell to me is an important next step in the civil rights movement.
O'DONNELL: The military already regulates personal behavior because it feels that it is in the best interests of our military readiness. I don't think that Congress should be forcing a social agenda onto our military. I think we should leave that to the military to decide.
Coons has agreed to eight debates before November 2nd. He says he rejected a debate hosted by the 9-12 Patriots for one reason only. "The 9-12 Patriots Group has endorsed her and is an issue group. We're looking for and have accepted opportunities for debates at independent venues like the University of Delaware, the Chamber of Commerce, the League of Women Voters."
And when it comes to Christine O'Donnell's decision to black out national media, Coons says she can do whatever she wants. "That's her choice. If my opponent decides to stop answering questions from the national media, I hope Delawareans will take that into account."
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Smith, R-TX]: America is safe today not because terrorists and spies have given up their goal to destroy our freedoms and our way of life. We are safe today because the men and women of our Armed Forces, our intelligence community, and our law enforcement agencies work every single day to protect us. And Congress must ensure that they are equipped with the resources they need to counteract continuing terrorist threats. On Feb. 28, three important provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act will expire. These provisions give investigators in national security cases the authority to conduct "roving" wiretaps, to seek certain business records, and to gather intelligence on lone terrorists who are not affiliated with a known terrorist group. The Patriot Act works. It has proved effective in preventing terrorist attacks and protecting Americans. To let these provisions expire would leave every American less safe.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Conyers, D-MI]: Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows a secret FISA court to authorize our government to collect business records or anything else, requiring that a person or business produce virtually any type record. We didn't think that that was right then. We don't think it's right now. This provision is contrary to traditional notions of search and seizure which require the government to show reasonable suspicion or probable cause before undertaking an investigation that infringes upon a person's privacy. And so I urge a "no" vote on the extension of these expiring provisions.
Status: Passed 86-12
Press Release from Sen. Merkley's officeCiting the dangers to US national security posed by terrorists and rogue states seeking nuclear weapons, a bipartisan group of 26 senators sent a letter last week to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), calling on the President to support increased funding in the FY2016 budget to more rapidly secure and permanently dispose of nuclear and radiological materials. The letter comes in response to the President's proposals in recent years to decrease funding for nuclear material security and nonproliferation programs.
The senators indicated that unsecured nuclear material poses unacceptably high risks to the safety of Americans and argued that the rate at which nuclear and radiological materials are secured and permanently disposed of must be accelerated. The senators expressed concern that cutting funds would slow what has been a successful process of elimination and reduction of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and separated plutonium in the international community. In just the last five years, nuclear security and non-proliferation programs have proven successful in eliminating HEU and separated plutonium from 13 countries, including Ukraine.
"Reducing budgets for agencies and programs that help keep nuclear and radiological materials out of the hands of terrorists is out of sync with the high priority that the President has rightly placed on nuclear and radiological material security and signals a major retreat in the effort to lock down these materials at an accelerated rate," the senators wrote. "The recent spate of terrorism in Iraq, Pakistan, and Kenya is a harrowing reminder of the importance of ensuring that terrorist groups and rogue states cannot get their hands on the world's most dangerous weapons and materials."
In the past two fiscal years, Congress has enacted $280 million additional dollars to the President's proposed funding for core non-proliferation activities.

More recently, we've developed new hand dryer technology, a fan without blades and a digital motor that spins at 104,000 times a minute.
About the role
To ensure that our communications are aligned with our philosophy, we built our own in-house advertising agency – Creative Services. It produces global materials for all communication channels. We're looking for an Advertising Account Director to manage creative projects within the team – developing motivational and insightful strategies that help drive powerful ideas. Working with engineers all the way up to the Chief Engineer (James Dyson), it's a rare opportunity to operate at the heart of a brand. This would be a challenging next step for an experienced Account Manager or an opportunity for an existing Account Director to lead the team in an in-house advertising agency.
About you
Ideally you'll be from an advertising agency background and have worked with large global brands. You'll have considerable experience of managing the overall planning, strategy and delivery of creative materials including TV commercials, print, outdoor, and digital (to name a few). You thrive in a challenging environment, explaining new technologies to a wide audience and gaining the support of colleagues around the world. It's a busy place to be and our 'wrong thinking' philosophy will take you outside your comfort zone. But, like everyone at Dyson, 'wrong thinking' will guide you to better solutions.
