The following is a press release from Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy:
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy today asked Metro-North Railroad to provide an action plan addressing safety issues on its system following the tragic train derailment Sunday morning in the Bronx.
In addition, Malloy has asked that the report from the inspection of the track that followed the Bridgeport derailment be provided immediately, as well as monthly reports of all track, bridge, signal, power, equipment inspection and maintenance action.
In a letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Metro-North, Malloy wrote, "Connecticut has invested, and continues to invest, billions in our rail infrastructure, something that I continue to support. However, given many recent events there is understandably a negative public perception of the railroad infrastructure and state of good repair, coupled with deep concerns for our safety. While I know that our rail lines meet or exceed the minimum safety requirements set by the Federal Railroad Administration, our goal must go well beyond the minimum."
Malloy has requested that the action plan address communication, safety reporting, inspection and maintenance programs, remedial short-term action plans, and longer term capital investment programs to upgrade the infrastructure.
"Too often, there seems to be an insufficient sense of urgency in communicating news and updates among senior management when an incident occurs," Malloy wrote. "When major incidents occur, immediate communication with officials at every level of government is critical.

JUSTIN Elder is the latest victim of the "cowardly" king hit, which has become a feature of violent late-night assaults in the Hunter.
Police have confirmed the 17-year-old was knocked out cold and his jaw shattered after a youth, who had been drinking, hit him from behind at Nobbys Beach car park at about 10.30pm last Friday night.
The teen from Aberglasslyn was spending time with friends at the Newcastle Foreshore and was racing over to stop two other youths breaking into his car when the attack happened.
"I was yelling out to them to stop and that's the last thing I remember," Justin said.
Justin's father Michael has described the act as "cowardly" and called for tougher penalties for his son's 17-year-old attacker, who was dealt a caution under the Young Offenders Act after admitting to the offence.
"Once you see the lump from the back of his head to his temple where he cracked his head on the concrete, you know how lucky he was," Mr Elder said.
"There's been three or four blokes killed with these king hits round here lately . . . people need to realise what their actions do and how they impact on others' lives."
The attack occurred on the same weekend as a nationwide blitz on alcohol-related crime and follows a string of reports about late-night violence in the region.
Last month 32-year-old Greg Newton died in Beaumont Street, Hamilton, when an alleged single punch caused him to fall and hit his head on the pavement.
Weeks earlier father-of-two Tom Biviano was king-hit while trying to break up a fight near The Valley Brewery, and Jamie Purdon of Raymond Terrace was killed in February after being king-hit at Maitland.
Newcastle City duty officer Inspector Gerard Lawson said it was unfortunate king hits had become a frequent feature of alcohol-fuelled crime.
"The most worrisome thing is that they usually result in some pretty significant injuries," Inspector Lawson said.
"The victims are hit unsuspecting and without any notice so they can't prepare themselves for the blow."
A plate has been inserted to hold Justin's jaw together, restricting him from any vigorous activity and forcing him to eat through a straw.
"I'm not looking forward to the holidays this year," Justin said this week.
The Elder family's traditional journey to Stockton to spend the holiday beachside has now been shelved, casting a shadow over the typically joyous time of year.
"He wouldn't be able to go in the surf, he couldn't go body boarding," Justin's mother, Sharlene, said.
"It's put a dampener on everything. We're going to try and have a nice Christmas, but I think it's going to be pretty horrible."

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Jade reigns as the universal symbol for good luck and has been treasured in China as the royal gemstone for 5,000 years. The Chinese character for jade resembles a capital "I" with a line across the middle. The top of the character represents the heavens, the bottom the Earth and the center section humankind. It has been considered a symbol of love, virtue and status for thousands of years and remains popular today. Jade is traditionally given as a 12th anniversary gift and is believed to strengthen the body and bring longevity to life.
Jade is the term applied to forms of both jadeite and nephrite. The ancient jade carved in China was what we today call nephrite. In the nineteenth century, it was discovered that the material from the new world was not the same mineral as the jade from China. This new and different jade from Central America was called jadeite to distinguish it from the original nephrite. Both are similar in appearance, yet jadeite is considered the true jade and commands higher prices. Though both are quite durable and tough, ranking 6.5-7.0 on Mohs Scale, jadeite is slightly harder than nephrite due to its microcrystalline structure.
Jadeite has a much more vivid green color with finer translucency than nephrite. It is most treasured for its vivid greens, but it also comes in lavender, pink, yellow and white. Nephrite, however, is found in less intense spinach green, white, brown and black colors. While overall color is the most important factor in considering the value of jade, other important criteria are translucency, texture and pattern. Jade is most often sold by the piece rather than per carat. Because of its smooth and even texture, it has long been a preferred material for carving. When placed in jewelry, it is usually cut into smooth dome shapes called cabochons.
Jadeite is primarily mined in Myanmar. Each year, the state-owned Myanmar Gems Enterprise holds the Myanmar Gems, Jade and Pearl Emporium where boulders are sold to top jade dealers from around the world. The dealers take some high-risk gambles with the jade boulders they purchase. Boulders are sold intact, with only a tiny window cut in the side to expose a small section of the interior. The buyer has no idea what lies inside, whether there is valuable green jadeite or only white or brown-stained inexpensive material. Relying on instinct, buyers pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for what may turn out to be exquisite gemstones or huge losses.
The most valuable form of jadeite is known as imperial jade. It is a vivid emerald green color and comes from Myanmar. The Emerald Buddha, a sacred image that is enshrined at Wat Phra Kaeo in Bangkok, Thailand, is actually beautiful green jadeite. A leek green variety called "Russian Jade" is found near Lake Baikal in Russia. In addition to Myanmar, small quantities of jadeite can be found in Mexico and Central and South America, while nephrite is mined in Australia, Canada, Taiwan and the United States.
In ancient China, Jade was thought to preserve the body after death and was placed in emperors' tombs. One tomb contained an entire suit made of jade, thought to assure the physical immortality of its owner. In Central America, the Olmecs, Mayans and Toltecs also treasured jade and used it for carvings and masks. In Europe, although prehistoric axes and blades carved from jade have been found by archeologists, the gemstone was not popular for jewelry use until the sixteenth century when jade objects were imported from China and, later, Central America. The Portuguese brought home jade pieces from their settlement in China and called jade "piedre de ilharga," which meant "stone of the loins" because they believed it to be strong medicine for kidney ailments. Jade objects brought to Spain were called by the Spanish version of this phrase, "piedra de hijada." This became the French word "ejade," which led to the English word jade.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

KEY BISCAYNE — Venus Williams spoke in a whisper late Saturday afternoon, the words of disappointment barely making it out of her mouth. She sounded tired. She sounded old.
"I was having some pain, and then just wanted to see how I felt in the warm up," Williams said, so softly, about a lower back injury that made her pull out of the Sony Open. "Just, you know, not able to play today."
The years get everyone eventually.
The Williams sisters have fought them better than most. But Venus turns 33 this summer and, on Saturday at the Sony Open, she was expected to play Plantation's Sloane Stephens in a match about yesterday and tomorrow as much as this third round.
"This is just the kind of tournament you want to play well at, but I have faced disappointments in my life and my career," Williams said. "It's not the first, probably not the last."
Maybe not. But we're getting close.
There was a time, not so long ago, when any debate in women's tennis included both of the Williams sisters. And then it just became Serena. And then just Serena when she played.
Serena is 31. She's not thinking of retiring, and neither would you, if you were playing tennis like this. Serena defeated Ayumi Morita Saturday night 6-3, 6-3. She regained her No. 1 ranking in February. She's still the heavyweight in any tournament she plays.
But the end is coming for both the Williams sooner than anyone in tennis wants. The question becomes how long Venus can be happy in a tennis life as a 19th seed, as she was at Sony, especially when time is no longer her body's ally.
It's not just a question about her. It's one that involves all of American tennis because, when you look around, there is no one on the map with any pedigree after the Williamses.
Sam Querrey, at No. 20, is the highest ranked U.S. male.
"Haven't really thought about it much," Querrey said Saturday.
Stephens, at No. 16, is the highest ranked American woman after Serena.
"I don't really think about that stuff," she said.
That's fine. Querrey and Stephens don't have to bother with it. But ticket-buying fans and tournament organizers in America know the lure of having the Williams sisters or Andre Agassi or Andy Roddick in the draw.
An individual sport like tennis is only as good as its individuals. American fans, from Agassi to Chris Evert, always have had a young star on the rise. The Williams were more individual than most to their unbending credit.
They were criticized through their careers for not playing more tournaments, for dabbling in outside hobbies and for not being consumed by the sport like some. But those steps back allowed them to recharge themselves and last this long.
How many tennis players last into their 30s? Stephens turned 20 on Wednesday. A year ago, when she advanced from a qualifier into the second round, fans serenaded her with, "Happy Birthday."
She was asked if she could see playing until 32 like Venus.
"Oh, man, that's crazy," she said. "I don't know. I just turned 20, so I don't know. I mean, I hope. I mean, if I can I want to, but that's still really a long ways away for me."
This is the way Venus once came into tennis, the way Serena once came in, the way Steffi Graf and Evert in previous generations before them. Young voices. New voices. Just thinking of the next round.
And the old voice? Injury and illness have been part of her last couple of years, interspersed with greatness like the Olympic gold in London.
"I have dealt with injuries before," Venus said. "I feel like also I know how to hopefully recover quickly from them."
The issue isn't if she recovers. How empty will American tennis look once the Williams sisters aren't around?

Pretty good for a bad area – The location is kinda sketchy I think there is a laundrymat and gas station in the same plaza and lots of bums hanging around the area. Once you get inside its a nice atmosphere though and not what you would expect at all from looking at the outside. The servers don't speak english very well but are very sweet and work hard to get you what you want even if they are not sure exactly what you are saying to them! The sushi chef is really cool and is willing to make you whatever you want which makes it feel like you are very welcome and a valued customer. Overall its a good place to go but if you are looking for a fancy 5 star place this is not the one.

Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories
Washington Irving - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $9.99
When Washington Irving first published this collection of essays, sketches, and tales--originally entitled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.--readers greeted it with enthusiasm, and Irving emerged as America's first successful professional author.
"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," two of America's most recognizable and loved works of fiction, display Irving's ability to depict American landscapes and culture so vividly that readers feel themselves a part of them. And it is on the basis of these two classic tales that Irving is generally credited with inventing the short story as a distinct literary genre. This volume also contains gently ironic pieces about life in England that reflect the author's interest in the traditions of the Old World and his longings for his home in the New.

The Castle Season 4 finale, "Always," delivered confessions of love, a near-death experience and the breakthrough scene we've all been waiting for. Here are 7 moments from the finale we'll be clinging to until Season 5 arrives.
7. It's a Date?
It's not like Castle and Beckett haven't had any pseudo-dates before. Remember Ryan and Jenny's wedding? Martha's dramatic performance at Castle's place? But these two partners never made real plans for a real date until...
Castle somewhat timidly asks Beckett to join him for a double-feature after Alexis' graduation. Beckett replies, "Actually, I'd love to." We were smiling right along with Castle.

Advice/feedback for entering SCM appreciated...
Any input/recommendations would be much appreciated. I have done 20 years in the military where Logistics was not my primary role, but due to the nature of the military I do have some experience with a variety of logistics and logistics related activities from cargo and equipment prep, processing, documentation, some financial and contract management, etc. Since my military retirement, I have managed at a big box retailer and currently own and run a small business that I am going to transition out of and prepare for a career change and enter the field of Supply Chain Management.
I have a bachelors in Management, an MBA, and currently working on a Masters in SCM. Outside of my military experience, I do not have much experience in SCM within the private sector.
I would appreciate any advice on where might be a good starting point to enter SCM for someone like myself who has some military related experience and some higher level education, but lacks any real private sector experience. From just looking around, it seems that most positions require 5-years specific experience, etc. Are there specific job types, or positions where I would be better off legitimately competing for a job and possibly be seriously looked at as a candidate without much experience? I am just trying to figure out what might be the best way to get my foot in the door, gain some experience, and get started in a career in SCM.
Also, might it be worth-while job hunting prior to completing my SCM degree (even if it is part time), or would I better off waiting for completion of the SCM degree?
Again, any advice is greatly welcomed and appreciated.
Advice/feedback for entering SCM appreciated...
First of all, thank you for your service. My family and I very much appreciate it.
Sounds like you have quite a bit going for you on numerous fronts. Companies that would welcome your skill sets, professional experience, life experience and education would be many of the EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) firms and firms that deal with the DoD.
Look to companies such as KBR, Bechtel, Fluor, Halliburton and the like for good job assignments domestically and overseas. Have your CV in top order but not too long or too verbose. Check the internet for other firms that handle Defense Contracting.
You should have move opportunities than you know what to do with...
Good Luck. You are welcome to contact me if I can be of any further assistance. I'm located in Houston, Texas. http://www.linkedin.com/in/tomdonley
Tom Donley CPSM, MCIPS
Reply to Tom
Thanks for the feedback, I greatly appreciate it. I have taken your advice and started looking at a few of those companies and will be digging in deeper here soon. Been working on the CV, re-branding my social sites, etc. I see that you are on linkedIn, if it is alright, I would like to connect with you there.
Thanks again,
Hi Dan,
I just received your invitation to join your network on LinkedIn. It is my honor to accept. Thank you for asking me. If I may be of service to you in any way, please feel free to contact me. I am at your service.
Most Sincerely,
Tom Donley MCIPS, CPSM

About Dirkmaster
I've only every purchased ONE DMM, it is a Fluke, and I bought it in 1986. It's solid gray. No yellow in sight. Which is good, because I don't like tacky, gawdy tools. :->
is exactly why the government cannot be trusted, or allowed to do total surveillance of all citizens "just in case, sometime in the future" they might need it.
This kind of surveillance will always lead to corruption and misuse. Human nature is just too corrupt to resist the temptation.
Asking about their sex life is just beyond the pale. I ALMOST makes me think they want to be shut down.
At the very least, anyone caught lying to Congress should be imprisoned....
Oh, wait
"Just too important to discontinue", all I can think is:
Hitchens' Razor
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
isn't ICE a division of Homeland Security? Aren't they the ones who really seem like they are the strongarm of the **AA?
Looks like that's who it was:
that he wouldn't DREAM of listening to Eisenhower. Hell, he doesn't even listen to the people HE CHOOSE to give him recommendations. If you wanted controvertible proof that the man is out of control, and a complete traitor to what he ORIGINALLY stood for, look no further.
Yep, perfect example of being corrupted by "the good guys". And proof that the oversight is insufficient.
It's easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys....
They're ALLL Bad Guys.
Good Guys went extinct decades ago.
who are fine with our government entrapping people because they might be terrorists, are in for a rude awakening when they suddenly find themselves targeted. An unrestrained government is tyranny, pure and simple.
They are the same people who think it's okay for police to throw a bag of weed or a gun into the backseat of a car, because the driver looked like a hippie.
" Execs think they're providing us "value" with their bundles."
They are, to their stock holders. Customers, naw. But who cares about them? Where else are they gonna go?
I was thinking about creating a page that was nothing but posts for these assclowns, and call that page "Shit I don't believe, but was paid to write". Gather them all together, put a nice disclaimer at the top, then bullshit away. Fun, funny, and I get paid.
Or would they notice? They seem kinda dumb, so I'm thinkin' I might get away with it.
100% agree. The FIRST thing you do is ammend that law that exempts LEO's. In fact, I think the punishment should be INCREASED for LEOs. "With great power comes great responsibility" afterall.
Ahhh, actually, the AT&T merger fell thru, and T-Mobile merged with Metro PCS. Since I'm a Metro PCS customer, I'm pretty happy about that.
Kenichi, you might want to fact check before slamming folks.
The Secret Police.
Kinda fits, don'tcha think?
I have two very simple questions for Eric Posner:
1) Did you take Logic 101 in college?
2) Did you pass?
The only security that the TSA is concerned with is their job security. Their lack of cooperation with a test to study a programs' effectiveness is a perfect example of that.
As it turns out, alas, even a bad report doesn't hurt them.
It's the ponzi scheme of lawsuits. Hey Paul, whatcha gonna do when they pull your license, and you can't sue to pay for your previous scheme? Ask Maddow how well that worked out in the end.

PET/CT Scan
PET/CT combines the functional information from a positron emission tomography (PET) exam with the anatomical information from a
computed tomography (CT)
exam into one single exam. A PET/CT exam not only helps your physician diagnose a problem, it also helps predict the likely outcome of various therapeutic alternatives, pinpoint the best approach to treatment, and monitor your progress
PET/CT combines the functional information from a positron emission tomography (PET) exam with the anatomical information from a computed tomography (CT) exam into one single exam.
A PET exam detects changes in cellular function – how your cells are utilizing nutrients like sugar and oxygen. Since these cellular-level changes often preceed more substantial problems, PET can provide information that enables your physician to make an early diagnosis.
A CT scan uses a combination of x-rays and computers to give the radiologist a non-invasive way to see inside your body. One advantage of CT is its ability to rapidly acquire multiple two-dimensional image slices of your anatomy. Using a computer these 2-D images can be presented in 3-D for in-depth clinical evaluation.
The PET exam pinpoints increased metabolic activity in cells and the CT exam provides an anatomical reference. When these two scans are fused together, your physician can view metabolic changes in the proper anatomical context of your body. A PET/CT exam not only helps a physician diagnose a problem, it also helps predict the likely outcome of various therapeutic alternatives, pinpoint the best approach to treatment, and monitor progress.
Hartford Hospital participates in the National Oncologic PET Registry.

Herpes viral culture of a lesion is a laboratory test to check if a skin sore is infected with the herpes simplex virus.
See also:
Culture - herpes simplex virus; Herpes simplex virus culture
A sample from a skin lesion
(often a genital sore) or blister is needed. The health care provider will collect the sample during an active outbreak and place it in a laboratory container. The sample must include cells, not just fluid from the blister, because the virus is in the skin cells of the blister or ulcer.
At the laboratory, the sample is placed in a special dish and watched for the growth of the herpes simplex virus, or substances related to the virus. Special tests may also be done to determine whether it is herpex simplex virus type 1 or 2.
Results are available within 16 hours to 7 days (usually 2-4 days), depending on the laboratory method used.
The sample must be collected during the worst part of an outbreak. This is considered the acute phase of infection.
When the sample is collected, you may feel an uncomfortable scraping or sticky sensation. Sometimes a sample from the throat or eyes is needed. This involves rubbing a sterile swab against the eye or in the throat.
The test is done to confirm herpes simplex infection. The diagnosis is often made by physical examination (the health care provider looking at the sores), and the cultures and other tests are used to confirm that diagnosis.
A normal (negative) result means that the herpes simplex virus did not grow in the laboratory dish and the skin sample used in the test did not contain any herpes virus.
However, a normal (negative) culture does not guarantee that you do not have a herpes infection or have not had one in the past.
An abnormal (positive) result may mean that you have an active infection with herpes simplex virus. Herpes infections include herpes genitalis
, which is genital herpes, or cold sores on the lips or in the mouth.
If the culture is positive for herpes, you may have recently become infected or you may have become infected in the past and are currently having an outbreak.
Risks include slight bleeding or infection in the area where the skin sample was removed.
The viral culture for herpes test is most likely to be accurate when a person is newly infected (during the first outbreak).

Sajou Tartan Scissors
Sorry, this is not currently available.
Previously $100.00 each.
Celebrate the Scottish in you. These scissors are inspired by sewing items covered in tartan paper which were extremely fashionable all through the 19th century. Originally made in Scotland in the town of Maughline, their production was quickly spread all over Europe.
These are made from genuine fabric instead of paper, which has been confined within a layer of crystal acetate. The delicate blades are engraved with the Sajou name. Quality scissors can be distinguished by, among other things, their pairing marks. This is a sign that the blades have been perfectly adjusted from the beginning of their production. These scissors are adorned with a passementerie pompom in red, green and white tones to match the tartan. All these products are made in France.
Size 11cm
While supplies last, we will include a free linen case for your scissors.

Did you read these or avoid them? How effective do you think they were? About how many of these ads do you think ran? And most importantly, can we get a complete list of superheroes who were featured in these ads?

Due to their open location, the lens of the lamps in your Chevrolet Monte Carlo are exposed to all kinds of environmental substances and damage that typically lead to severe lighting troubles just like yellowing on the lighting devices (caused by lens clouding) along with fluid build up (because of breaking) - and that doesn't include the ugly appeal that failing parts generally have. You will be pleased to learn, though, that you can already obtain a lens repair kit to bring them back to their original structure - shop for the ideal Chevrolet Monte Carlo lens repair kit and maintain your lamp covering in excellent form.
The lens repair kits which are supplied at present are available in wide range depending on the condition that they're built to address - concerns such as breakage and haziness. These sets are likewise different according to the lighting devices that they're built for; the pack for clear Chevrolet Monte Carlo lamps will definitely be distinctive compared to a kit for colored taillights, for example. Most of the lens repair kits for your Chevrolet Monte Carlo are a piece of cake to use with minimal modification necessary - it is easy to perform the repair without any help because of the instructions included, and you do not even have to dismount the parts from their position while you carry out the fix. In case you are working on curving lamp lenses, that is not a problem as there's a lens repair kit that contains sheets of plastic materials - it will repair the lenses of your auto lights right away.
Keep away from a more costly light lens replacement by obtaining a Chevrolet Monte Carlo lens repair kit right here. Look into the merchandise that we have from Flitz and Cargo, and enjoy our 24/7 Customer Support service.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

• Merrell® air cushion in the heel absorbs shock and adds stability
• Merrell Snow De Vie Sole/Sticky rubber
The best purchase I could have made. Worn all day everyday straight away, warm, comfortable with good grip. Keep the cold weather coming!!
Sized as Expected
Walking, sightseeing.
Excellent product. Very warm and supportive. Comfortable while still looking stylish. Sizing was perfect, I always worry as I have wide feet and high insteps. Got caught in a downpour, not a problem, my feet stayed dry and toasty! Would highly recommend these boots!
Sized as Expected
Everyday wear
Tried these boots on several times in a local shop - loved the look and feel but they were just too big - or just too small. Found that if I ordered on line, there were half sizes available. Found I needed to buy half a size larger than my normal size. Once I owned them, I was delighted - warm, comfortable and they coped with days of walking around Belgian Christmas markets! Best of all they were supportive to my ankles - I have rheumatoid arthritis and the soft boots feel nice, but don't do the job!
Smaller than Expected
Comfortable for use all day
Due to my love of standing in football terraces at weekends, I needed something that was warm, practical and good for those long walks to the grounds from train stations........these boots are perfect!!!!! I hate having my feet too hot or too cold, in the milder weather we've had recently I didn't overheat, and I didn't freeze when it was colder!! The only thing I've found I don't like is driving distances in them, but that's my personal preference, as I don't like how boots restrict my ankles when driving.
Sized as Expected
Watching football......
already owned a stone pair and loved them that much i have just bought a black pair. they made last winter(2010) enjoyable, definately bearable. a good grip though not ice proof but is any boot? so warm and cosy, comfortable to walk in, even in the snow. as a bonus,neat and very stylish(not bulky like many alternatives), you can proudly wear them everyday but know you can cope with snow and the extreme cold if it arrives. they did not need any breaking in, so no nasty blisters. expensive but well worth the money and hopefully will last for years. only quibble is that i am not so keen on the white fur on the black boot, would have preferred black fur trim.
Sized as Expected
wearing them daily as an everyday winter boot but also for brisk walking in the frost or snow.
