My December Top Ten List — 'Tis the Season!
- Grades: 3–5
Happy holidays! With the jam-packed curriculum we all face every day, taking time to celebrate the holidays in the classroom can be challenging. However, in this season of giving, it is important that we do take time out to teach our students about the real meaning of the season. It's also a great time to purposefully integrate curriculum requirements with holiday activities.
This post features ideas for creative holiday gifts, meaningful ways to help your students "give back," awesome holiday resources on the Web, cool holiday activities I do in my own classroom, and a memorable way to ring in the New Year with your students. I have included some ideas from previous years' posts, but you will also find resources and ideas I have never shared before, innovative ideas from my Top Teaching colleagues, and links to useful online holiday resources.
1. Toys "R" Us Virtual Holiday Shopping Spree
I am always looking for ways to make the use of technology in my classroom both purposeful and engaging. This activity combines math and technology skills as students navigate the Toys "R" Us site to "shop" for gifts for their loved ones.
During the holidays, students are always excited about the presents they want most. I created this activity to emphasize the importance of gift giving rather than the "gift receiving" that so many students focus on during this month. Through the downloadable worksheets below, students are invited to be part of a made-up scenario in which a long-lost relative has won the lottery and is giving away some of his money in the hope that it will be used in a positive way during the holiday season. Each student is given $500 and is asked to spend it on friends and family. Since the relative tells the students that they cannot keep any leftover money for themselves, the goal is to spend as close to $500 as they can.
I love this activity because it requires students to understand how to navigate a Web site purposefully. The Toys "R" Us site is perfect because it allows users to search by age, category, gender, price, character/theme, top rated toys, or keyword. Students first make a list of the people they plan to buy gifts for. On their list, most students include recipients of different ages and genders. Sometimes students know exactly what they want to buy and can use the keyword search, other times they have a certain price range in mind, and often they just search for top-rated toys for a certain age level. Of course students do not actually add any items to their online shopping cart. They just record the price on their worksheet.
Download the scenario description and the recipient recording sheet for this activity.
In years past, my students have created holiday hope chests for children who will be spending the holidays in a local children's hospital. (The hope chests can also be made for children in homeless shelters, orphanages, foster homes, soup kitchens, domestic violence shelters, low-income pediatric clinics, or low-income day care centers.) It is easy for children to take for granted the gifts that they receive during the holidays, and this project encourages children to embrace the holiday season as one of giving rather than receiving.
I first found out about holiday hope chests on the GenerationOn Web site. The chests are simply decorated shoe boxes designed by my students. Each chest is filled with small toys, games, and art supplies chosen especially for a girl or boy of a specific age. My students also make holiday cards to enclose in each chest. The decorative shoebox gives the receiving child a "treasure chest" in which to keep the items together.
To begin the project, I introduce the idea to my students and then send a note home explaining the project to the parents. I ask parents to donate shoe boxes, and each student is asked to bring three to five small, new toys to put in his or her hope chest. I suggest shopping at local dollar stores and emphasize the fact that the items must be small enough to fit inside a shoebox. I also ask students not to bring candy, toys with many small parts, or toys that promote violence, such as toy guns or action figures with guns or battle gear. Suggested items include crayons, pencils, markers, notebooks, notepads, glue, Play Doh, flash cards, stickers, small toys, small books, magazines, LEGOs, hair bands, card games, small stuffed animals, magnets, etc.
This project has been very successful and rewarding in years past. My students love being able to spread joy to their less fortunate peers, and it helps them to embrace the real meaning of the holiday season.
For more photos and information about creating holiday hope chests, you can visit my classroom Web site. You can also download my hope chest parent letter and hope chest tag (as seen on hope chest boxes in the pictures above).
3. All Aboard . . . Bring the Polar Express to Your Classroom!
When I taught 2nd grade, we spent part of one day in December pretending we were aboard the Polar Express. After reading the story in class, students wore their pajamas to school and took part in a variety of activities related to the book. We even "built" a Polar Express train in our classroom for the special day. Since the young boy in the story had a most prized possession, his silver bell, students also brought along their most prized possessions. Students wrote "small moment" stories related to their special items in their Writer's Notebooks.
See more pictures from our special day aboard the Polar Express and read more about the activities we did aboard the train.
4. Holiday Interactive Whiteboard Resources
I am officially obsessed with my SMART Board after having it for only a few short months. I can hardly teach a lesson without using it, so I know that anything I do related to the holidays will likely involve my SMART Board as well. I find that many of the activities created for the holidays are more focused on fun than on real learning, so I am sorting through what is out there and then trying to find creative ways to connect the activities to my curriculum. Here are some of the holiday resources that have looked good: Teachers Love SMART Boards' holiday resources, TeqSmart's December holiday resources, SMART Board Terminal's holiday resources, SMART Exchange's Christmas activities, and Christmas SMART Board lessons on TeachersPayTeachers.
5. Making Gingerbread Houses to Inspire Your Writers
It has been a tradition for over 20 years (long before I was even teaching) for Hill School 3rd graders to make gingerbread houses in December. When I was moved from 2nd to 3rd grade, I was excited to become part of this tradition. Students absolutely love building their houses and decorating them using a variety of yummy candies and icing. Parents even join in on the fun as well, often taking the day off to come spend time with their child in our classroom for this enjoyable event.
Though I love the activity, it bothered me that it was completely unrelated to our curriculum. For that reason, I decided it was the perfect activity to link to Writing Workshop. What better way to teach students about descriptive writing than to have them use their deliciously colorful gingerbread houses as inspiration?
With a focus on word choice, students sit with their completed gingerbread house in front of them and describe the house in detail. My previous lessons on similes, metaphors, sensory language, and rich, vivid details suddenly came to life even for my most reluctant writers. Since I often tell my students that they are creating a picture with words, we display this writing in our hallway in December with the actual picture of their gingerbread house above it.
Read about a similar project my fellow Top Teaching blogger Megan Power does with her kindergartners!
6. Homemade Holiday Gifts for Parents and Loved Ones
When it comes to the gift that my students make for their parents or other loved ones during the holiday season, I try to think of something that is creative, but also desirable for the recipient. The gift I've had my students make for the past few years is called "cookies in a jar." I am sharing this idea again because it has been so well received by other teachers and by the students' parents who receive the gift!
I use quart-sized jars with lids and the ingredients necessary to make a specific type of cookie. One afternoon, I pour the ingredients into large bowls and call groups of four or five students at a time over to a table to add the ingredients to their jars. I ask parents to send in sets of measuring cups and measuring spoons for students to use for the special project. While I walk small groups of students through the steps necessary to make their "cookies in a jar" gift, the rest of my class reads quietly at their desks or completes a purposeful assignment that I have explained prior to the cookie-jar project.
Once all students have added the ingredients to their jar, they attach a circular piece of festive material to the top of the jar with a rubber band and tie a ribbon around the rubber band. Finally, students attach a gift tag to the ribbon with the recipient's name. The recipe for how to make the cookies is printed on a label and stuck to the back of the jar so that the cookies can be easily made by adding butter and eggs.
Since the holidays are such a busy time of year, parents tend to appreciate the ease of having a pre-made cookie mix to entertain holiday guests. It is also a fun way for students and parents to spend time together at home baking (and enjoying) the cookies. I like this gift idea because it can be altered for students who celebrate any holiday. I purchase different types of inexpensive cloth from a fabric store including material with holiday designs, winter themes, and basic designs like polka dots, stripes, and plaids. You can also tie the holiday project to lessons in math to reinforce concepts having to do with fractions and measurement.
You can find specific directions for making a variety of "cookies in a jar" at Allrecipes.com. Download my holiday cookies in a jar recipe, my holiday cookie direction labels for jars (seen in picture above), and my "cookies in a jar" gift tags (on jars in picture above).
7. Holiday Integration Activities That Blend the Season
My fellow Top Teacher blogger, Angela Bunyi, never ceases to amaze me with her creative ideas and the purposeful way she approaches the curriculum. Last year, she wrote a fun post filled with curriculum-worthy holiday ideas including making Christmas factor trees, teaching measuring skills by creating a life-sized abominable snowman, designing geo-ornaments, creating an iMovie about winter holidays around the world, teaching series and parallel lighting using Christmas lights, and constructing holiday "branches" of government. Read her great holiday post!
8. Scholastic's Awesome Collection of Holiday Resources
There is no other place on the Web where you will find a more comprehensive collection of resources to help celebrate and teach your students about the many winter holidays. From art projects, online activities, printables, and recipes to thinking questions, clip art, books, and classroom decorations, this is one stop shopping when it comes to teacher resources for Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa!
Also, check out a great holiday booklist organized by grade level.
9. Personalized Cards for Parent Helpers
I am always so appreciative of the parents who volunteer to chaperone field trips, assist with special projects in the classroom, and plan classroom parties during the holidays. Oftentimes their help directly impacts the students. For this reason, I like my students to help create the cards we make for our helpers.
For the card below, students worked in teams of two or three to make letters with their bodies that spelled "THANK YOU!!" If you have more students, you can make the words "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" instead. To put the card together, I took pictures of the students forming each letter. I then inserted the pictures into a blank poster in Print Shop and used the freehand crop tool to cut around their bodies. (This makes them look more like the letters they are trying to form.) Once I have all of the letters cropped, I arrange them on the Print Shop poster and print copies for each parent volunteer. I paste the printed copies on a construction paper card and have the students sign their names inside the card.
The pictures below show a quick and easy way to make a thank-you card or holiday card from your class. I used Microsoft Word to write "THANK YOU!" or "HAPPY HOLIDAYS," printing each letter on a separate piece of paper. I glued each letter on a colored piece of construction paper and had my students hold up the letters for a picture. When making the card, I glue the thank-you picture on the front and have the kids sign their names on the inside.
10. Ringing in 2011 With Your Students
When students come back from break, it can be difficult to get them refocused after the excitement of the holidays. For this reason, I treat January as a new beginning. I hit up the party supply store immediately after New Year's Eve to find party hats on sale (often 50% off). When my students come back to school in January, they each find a party hat on their desk. My students and I reflect on and celebrate what we have accomplished so far in the school year, and then we make plans for the rest of our year together.
Part of our plan includes the students making resolutions. I start my lesson by asking students, "What is a resolution?" They soon learn that a resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. I then read aloud some of the resolutions made by my students in previous years. This gives my current students some specific ideas about making resolutions. I follow this up with a discussion about how there are different kinds of resolutions.
Finally, students complete a worksheet that I created called "My New Year's Resolutions." It asks them to make two PERSONAL resolutions, two resolutions that involve FAMILY OR FRIENDS, and two resolutions that involve SCHOOL. Students share their top two resolutions with the class before we put them in our "Resolution Time Capsule" (see picture below). I decorate a shoe box with New Year's Eve decorations and have each student ceremoniously place their resolutions into the box. I explain to the students that we will not open the box to see if we have accomplished our goals until the end of the year. When the end of the year comes around, students are given their resolutions from the box and are asked to write a reflective piece of writing about how far they have come or what things they might still need to work on. This is the final piece of writing that is placed in their 3rd grade portfolio.
I'd love to hear what special things you do in your classrooms in December. Add your comments below!

Thanks, Beth! This really did help. I teach fifth grade and I am seriously thinking about doing this next year. However, I do not have chair pockets and I don't know if funds will be available to purchase them. Do you have any suggestions on where to get them or other ideas if they're not an option? Thanks again for all of your great posts. You are such an inspiration! Jenny

You mentioned that you are considering switching from desks to tables in your classroom. I switched from desks to hexagon tables this year, and I absolutely love the tables! Below are some pros and cons of tables. Overall, I am extremely happy with the switch!
Pros for Having Tables in Your Classroom: -They do not take up as much space as individual desks. -They eliminate the "this is my stuff" attitude that kids tend to get when they all have their own desks. My students share supplies that are stored in their table caddies. -They support the collaborative learning that takes place on a regular basis in my classroom. -They are useful for students working together at word study centers or during science experiments. -They make your classroom look less "messy." Student desks can become very messy and disorganized on the inside. They also get moved a lot, so my students' desks never stayed lined up like I wanted them to be. The tables can be easily moved when necessary without having every student realign their own desk. -Switching seats is easy. Students just take their chair pocket to a new seat and do not need to take everything out of their desks.
Cons for Having Tables: -Storage of textbooks or binders can be tricky if you do not have other places in your classroom. Luckily my students mainly use folders that they keep in their chair pockets, and we have lots of shelf space to store our reading binders. -Students have less personal space to spread things out when doing projects or independent work. However, my students are not at their tables all day. Most activities we do require students to be spread out around the classroom.
I hope this helps!
I looked on your website and couldn't find your email address. I'm trying to reach you so I can tell you about one of your creations being posted online by someone else and selling it. Please email me so I can give you the details.
Beth, I was wondering if you still had the hexagon tables as desks in your room and if you still like that arrangement. I have single desks that I group together, but I am considering getting rid of desks and using tables. Pros/Cons? Jenny

You asked if I know of any grants geared specifically toward SMART Board funding. I am honestly not aware of any grants that would fit into that specific category, but I will ask around.
I must say, having a SMART Board has been life-changing for me! (By life-changing, I am referring to my "teacher life".... of course sometimes it seems like teaching is my life!) I'm sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you. It has been nice to have a couple of weeks off to "forget" about school for awhile and spend time with my boys:)
Karin (comment #27),
I'm glad you like my goal-setting activity for the first day back from break. Happy New Year, and thanks for posting on the blog!

You can learn more about "Talking Back to Books" if you read my post about Reading Workshop. Here is a link to that post: http://blogs.scholastic.com/top_teaching/2009/10/reading-workshop.html
Let me know if you still have questions after reading that post!
You also asked if I had any suggestions for second grade teachers. (I think you are referring to word study.) I'm not sure exactly what information you are looking for, but, if I taught second grade, I would implement my word study program in the exact same way. The only thing that would be different would be the patterns and skills I would be teaching.
Let me know if I have answered your questions!
You asked if I had any other hoiday activities than the ones I mentioned. Those are the main activities I do in my classroom, but we do read nonfiction and fiction books during read-aloud time that focus on many different holidays. Also, if you click on the Scholastic Resources link (#8 on my Top Ten List), you will find resources for a variety of winter holidays to focus on during December.
Beth, Thanks to some federal funding, some special ed teachers in my district have been able to get SMART boards. They look like a wonderful tool and I am constantly thinking about how I would use one in my classroom. Do you know of any grants out there that are geared to SMART boards? Thanks, Maureen
What a great goal-setting activity for the first day back after a busy holiday! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your ideas and enthusiasm for teaching. could you tell me about the Talk Back to the Book that you mentioned in your reading workshop? I teach second grade and find your word study very interesting and well done. Do you have any suggestions for second grade teachers?
What other holidays and activities do you include; only Christmas activities are mentioned above. Do you feel that other holidays are equally represented. I personally don't feel that holiday celebrations should be a big part of a public school classroom, but some things are unavoidable and it would be nice to have a better balance.

I absolutely LOVE your idea of collecting books and relating the service project to Cynthia Rylant's book Silver Packages. With such an emphasis on reading in my classroom, I think that there would be no more better gift for my students to give than the gift of books for children who have very few good books to read. We have been doing Holiday Hope Chests for a few years now. I think I may try out your idea next year! Perhaps we could even add one book to each Holiday Hope Chest.
Thanks so much for posting your idea. I hope you have a great holiday break!
Amy (comment #20),
I love your idea of having the students purchase things from the class store to fill the Holiday Hope Chests. I think it would be even more meaingful since the students are actually giving up something of their own (the money they earned) to give to those who are less fortunate. Thanks for the great idea! I may need to borrow your idea for next year!
Happy Holidays!
Amy (comment #19),
Sorry it has taken me a few days to get back to you. This time of year is so busy!! I use Print Shop Deluxe Version 23. I love it and have had no problems with it. The newest version is Print Shop 2.0. I haven't heard much about that, but I do know that some teachers have had problems opening files created in earlier versions of Print Shop.
Beth! Thank-you so much for sharing your amazing creativity in your blog! :) As a literacy coach, I've shared your link as an example of a great resource to classroom teachers. One activity a class that I worked with recently did was collect books they had outgrown at home to distribute to children in need. This was after reading Rylant's Silver Packages and the children decided on how they could be generous without spending money. It was wonderful to witness! Happy holidays and keep up the great work!
Hi Beth,
I love the idea of Holiday Hope chests! I started doing the classroom economy this year with my teammates. Have you ever had your kids purchase things from your class store to put in the hope chests? I am thinking about trying it that way next year so every student can donate, even if money is tight in their family. I also have been looking for ways to teach the students that in an economy, many choose to donate some money to help others. Do you think it would work?
Beth, What version of Print Shop do you use? I am thinking of investing in purchasing the program but have heard several negative things about it recently. Just curious
Peggy (comment #17),
Thanks for your nice comments! I'm glad you've been able to use some of my ideas in your classroom. You asked how I find the time to do it all. Lately, the answer would be "very little sleep." However, I am usually better at balancing it all. You can read the following post to learn more about how I try to balance motherhood and teaching: http://blogs.scholastic.com/top_teaching/2010/03/balancing-parenthood-teaching.html
You also asked about the Polar Express train ticket on my classroom website. See comment #8 for an answer to that question.
Hapy Holidays!
I have a question for you. I want to use your Polar Express idea but want to know how you created the tickets for your students....Do you have a template that you could share?
Thanks again and happy holidays!

You mentioned that you are doing a SMART Board presentation for the teachers at your school and wondered if I could post all of the SMART Board lessons I have created this year.
I may try to do that over my holiday break, but, unfortunately, I don't have time right now to get all of the lessons in final form, upload them to my website, and design a SMART Board Resources page. This is something I plan to do in the future, but teaching, taking care of my boys, maintaining this blog, and the craziness of December is keeping my very busy right now. Since I teach part-time (and this is my day off), I am trying to catch up on these comments during my boys' nap time:)
Kacie (comment #11),
You mentioned that you have a student who does not celebrate holidays. Do his or her parents request that you do not do anything related to any holiday? In my classroom, I do not have students who are not allowed celebrate holidays. However, they certainly all celebrate many different holidays. I just try to make sure that I am not focusing solely on Christmas. As long as I am incorporating a variety of holidays and tying them directly to my curriculum, I feel like all students should be able to participate. It would be sad if the student is not allowed to do anything related to holidays since the spirit of the season can be woven into the curriculum in such positive ways! You can check out #8 in my post to find lesson plans for a variety of winter holidays.
I'm not sure if my response helps or not. If that child is not allowed to celebrate any holiday, your hands may be tied. However, class service projects that are designed to help others in your community can still be done without typing them to a specific holiday.
Jessica (comment #10),
I love your Polar Express ideas! I will have to share them with the second grade teachers at my school who still do the activity every year. Your idea of giving students a bell and relating it to how much you believe in them is not cheesy at all! What a special way to let your students know how you feel about them!
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me and with other teachers who read the blog!
Happy Holidays!
Adelle (comment #9),
Thanks for sharing all of your great holiday ideas! I love the Gigerbread House Mouse as another way to incorporate writing into the gingerbread house building activity.
I also love the yule log DVD idea. Is that a DVD that just shows an animated image of a yule log? I wouldn't mind having that for my house too!
We also have a holiday sing-a-long at our school. It is in the evening, and families are invited to attend!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas! Happy holidays!
I am presenting at my elementary school how useful Smart boards are. However, I just got mine. Would you be willing to email me some of your lessons? I love the word study lessons that you have posted on your site. Let me know!
I love all of your December ideas, especially the Gingerbread House writing! However, I have a student in my class that does not celebrate holidays. Do you have any suggestions on how I can include them while retaining the lessons you have suggested?
We also do a polar express day in 3rd grade in Cincinnati, OH. A big theme in our school the past few years has been "Believe". All throughout the school are believe sayings and we constantly are sharing with the students how we believe in them. After reading the story we talk about the boy hearing the bell and believing in Santa. I give my students each a bell on a red ribbon after the story and I tell them that as long as they can hear the ring of the bell they should know and understand how much I believe in them. I remind them when they are having a hard day or are frustrated with school or friends they can always look back at the bell and remember that Ms. Radel believes they can do anything they set their mind to. It may sound cheesy but I have been doing this for three years now and actually had a student wear theirs to school the other day!
We also do gingerbread houses as a 3rd grade tradition. I read Gingerbread House Mouse, and the students write a similar story using a different creature that could potentially live in their gingerbread house. (Living in the midst of hte stink bug land I expect many to be about stink bugs this year.)
We do not do the gingerbread kits though. We have each child bring in a pint size container and a container of frosting (the whipped white kind works the best). Then the room mom's call to have others volunteer to bring in all the fun candies to decorate. I look forward to it all month. We play a yule log dvd and listen to holiday music. The kids love to sing along.
Our school also does a Holiday Sing A Long in the gym for the last day of school, another great tradition we all look forward to!
Bethany (comment #6),
The Polar Express idea that I mentioned in my post is an activity that I did when I taught second grade years ago. It was the year that The Polar Express movie (with Tom Hank's voice) was coming to theaters, and our entire school actually went to see the movie. Since the movie was out in theaters, many stores were carrying Polar Express items like the tickets you see in the photos. I purchased the ticket from a Hallmark store and made paper copies for my students. Unfortunately, it is not something I made myself. However, it could probably be easily recreated in Print Shop.
Have fun with your read-in day! The second grade classes at our school still carry on the tradition!
Sarah (comment #5),
Thanks so much for sharing your creative reindeer lesson idea! Very cool! When writing this post, I was really hoping the comment section could be a place where other teachers would share some ideas that I (and other teachers) could use this month. Thanks for being the first teacher to share an idea!!
Happy Holidays!
Where did you get the tickets for the Polar Express. We have a read in day at the end of the quarter and I would to do an activity similar to yours.
To prepare for the holidays, I wanted my students to think about how Christmas and everything that goes with it...happens. We made reindeer and the kids wrote about "The Year Reindeer could not Fly." They had to create scenarios about why, how to fix it, how will Santa be able to give to everyone around the world without his reindeer? We then created a beautiful bulletin board, and shared our stories! Pictures to come soon!
Elizabeth (comment #3),
You asked about how the students decorate the holiday hope chests. The students bring the shoe boxes to school, and I wrap them in red or green solid paper. They then decorate the boxes themselves using scrapbook punches, my Sizzix mini die-cut machine, and construction paper. I used to scrapbook a lot, so I have tons of holiday die cuts like presents, snowmen, Christmas trees, etc. The kids can easily use the machine, and the die cuts really do make the boxes and cards look nice!
The gingerbread houses are so much fun! We do ask the parents to supply the gingerbread house kit, and they are more than willing to do so. This year, nearly half of the parents joined in on the fun by coming to school to help build and decorate the houses! You could always do the activity with graham crackers if you think your parents would not be willing to purchase a kit. Either way, it's a wonderful holiday project!
Happy holidays!
Hi Beth--
You have some great ideas here. I really like the Toys-R-Us shopping trip. It is very similiar for a math activity I do involving the Thanksgiving dinner.
A question for you about the Hope Chest project. The shoeboxes are very well decorated. It appears that they are not completely handmade by the students. Do you just give them a bunch of cutouts that they can use to create their design? Thanks!
Hi Beth,
I love the gingerbread house idea for descriptive writing! Do you have the parents of the kids supply a gingerbread house kit for their child?
Thanks for all the great ideas!

Results tagged "Atonement" from critical difference
My friend Tim keeps a spreadsheet listing the details of every concert he's been to since the early '80s -- or is it the late '70s? Either way, it's very "High Fidelity," but with an emphasis on the Grateful Dead that Nick Hornby's own spreadsheet probably wouldn't own up to.
When I find myself at a concert, it tends to be with Tim, and it tends to have been his idea. Likewise, when he finds himself at the theater, it's because it was my idea.
So there we were the other night at the Public, for a LAByrinth Barn Series reading of Padraic Lillis' "Lights Up on the Fade Out," when we spotted a woman in a fuchsia "Where the Wild Things Are" t-shirt, Maurice Sendak's characters swinging in a line across her chest.
I confess that I was not a huge fan of "Where the Wild Things Are" when I was small. It didn't take up residence in my heart until I was older, in high school, babysitting for Stephanie and Billy, my favorite little kids down the street. Once I'd roared my terrible roars, gnashed my terrible teeth, rolled my terrible eyes and shown my terrible claws along with a couple of spectacularly adorable moppets doing the same, I couldn't not love Sendak's book.
I almost wrote "Sendak's tale" there, but it truly isn't the tale as much as it is his telling of it, in words -- which repetition soldered into my memory decades ago -- and pictures.
So Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers' movie adaptation? Not so attractive to me. I feel about it the way I feel about the movie of "Atonement," which I haven't seen and won't see: I don't want a movie to mess with what's already in my head. If the Narnia movies had come out back when I was nine years old and as enraptured by the books as I was unaware of their Christian imagery, I wouldn't have wanted to see those, either.
And the Variety review of "Where the Wild Things Are" that just popped into my inbox? I don't even want to read that.
My militant opposition to the very idea of this movie is monstrously closed-minded, I know, and maybe intellectually inconsistent, too, given that I once owned a Max doll and a couple of Wild Thing dolls, and have been known to give Maxes and Wild Things (and the book, of course) as gifts to children in my life. But the dolls, three-dimensional though they are, are faithful to Sendak's drawings. The faces, the legs, the toes: The details are from his pen.
Still, at least the movie was made with Sendak's blessing. When Tim and I noticed the woman in the t-shirt the other night, he told me a story about a Dead show years ago, where he'd run across a guy selling "Let the wild rumpus begin" shirts. "It's 'start,'" Tim told him. "'Let the wild rumpus start.'" No, no, the guy insisted; it's "begin."
Sigh. People who trample on intellectual property: You just can't trust them with the details.
If nothing else, Jonze and Eggers will get that line right.

she really has natural beautyReplyDelete
this was a great and informed show,,,she appears very guarded in her responses and you can tell she is wary of interviews..but TRAVIS is so kind and sweet and asking very good questions..over all..she did fine...thank you for the review..ReplyDelete
I kind of agree with you. The host is professional and nice. Kristen is sincere and serious in answering questions that make her shattered a bit. But I rather listen to this kind of interview than something polished and aimless.Delete
the same ,i know in the us like other places they are just shows but this one you just enjoy all the interview this is real and respectful talk show.Delete
agradable ! saben lo que es es estos dias encontrar programas como estos serios respetuosos y agradables,creo kristen se sintio bien fue una convesasion no tonterias, sarcasmo oalgo parecido tavis fabuloso!Delete
I like talvis he's so nice...and kristen did greatReplyDelete
She looks beautiful and vulnerable.Feel like protecting her from the whole world!ReplyDelete
I am really in lOve with this Girl Lol... I really love her Personality, her Hair, her Eyes, her Legs even her Boyfriend :p I love Evrything about her!! Kristen Fan forever And of Course Robsten!ReplyDelete
Your not the only one,but I think I don't inlove with her boyfriend but I respect him I think he is a nice guy and love kristen very much.Delete
Could you post it the whole interview here..pls.cos I can't watch it the link you provided I don't have a twitter account.thank you!ReplyDelete

Thanks for including the script of the conversation. I miss some part of them.ReplyDelete
kristen like take her character in on the road to real life.ReplyDelete
I love this interview more respectable, love you Kristen❤
I really loved Kristen in this interview because she seemed so natural and smart and just honest this is the Kristen that all the haters should see because this is the Kristen that will make them all turn around and say 'wow' she's one of the smartest people I've seen. She was incredibly insightful and thoughtful with her answers and it was so deep and emotional I felt that she poured her heart out. I love how she said "I love what I do" it just goes to show that she's not doing this for the money or the fame or the attention she's acting because she loves it and she's passionate about it, she's still got her feet firmly planted on the earth despite what has happened to her with Twilight. I love how she still wants to be a director and she said if she found the right story to tell she would direct it. Although she went through a tough time this year she's come out of it with grace and humility and she seems OK now. I know her parents are incredibly proud of her but going by what she said they may be worried about her even now. I'm glad she has a solid support system behind her with her family and friends and even Rob I know he's incredibly proud of Kristen and everything she's achieved just as she's proud of him, she beamed with pride for Rob in Cosmopolis because she knew he was scared to do it.ReplyDelete
wow..well said jenna, love your comment
Great interview. I think they'e two professional people.ReplyDelete
is it just me or.. I mean, He seemed very careful with this words, like extra careful, it's like he's afraid if he's going to ask her the wrong question, his TV show will be history! lol. The Power of QueenStew xDReplyDelete

Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Anticipates the Fourth of July on JazzSet
June 26, 2012. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: JazzSet, vanguard jazz orchestra, village vanguard
Thanks to our colleagues at WBGO and NPR Music, this week JazzSet brings you a treasure of a band. The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra has achieved dazzling longevity, assembled a huge book of charts, and features one of New York's finest and bravest in every chair. Check this out:
Of course in 46 years, there have been personnel changes beginning with the singer. Host Dee Dee Bridgewater launched her career at The Vanguard with the original Thad Jones / Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra from 1970-74. No one has replaced her. Thad had a nickname for her; she reveals it on JazzSet.
Celebrating their anniversary, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra plays compositions by Jones and Bob Brookmeyer, Thad's successor as Musical Director. They wrap up waving the flag with a number Jones wrote for the Bicentennial, 7/4/76. "My Centennial" has an irresistible melody led by the trumpets, with fireworks.
Listen at 6:30 tomorrow evening, Wednesday, June 27. Or click here for JazzSet on demand. Happy Fourth!
Great Live Moments - Vanguard Jazz Orchestra
April 15, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: brandford, dennis irwin, dick oatts, earl gardner, fourth anniversary, gary smulyan, gifted composers, jason jackson, Jazz Alive, joe mosello, Listening Post, Live Music, luis bonilla, max gordon, mel lewis orchestra, pit bands, ralph lalama, studio professionals, ted rosenthal, valentine s day, vanguard jazz orchestra, village vanguard, wbgo
Thad Jones and Mel Lewis created one of the most enduring rituals in New York. They started a big band in 1966, one that included some of the most gifted composers and improvisers in the city, many of whom were making their living as studio professionals or in Broadway pit bands. Max Gordon at the Village Vanguard booked them for three consecutive Monday evenings, and the rest is history. Both Jones and Lewis are gone, but the spirit of their music (as well as the original compositions and arrangements from their bands) continues with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
Every February, the VJO plays a weeklong showcase at the Vanguard. On the thirty fourth anniversary of the band, WBGO recorded the group on Monday night, of couse. As it happened, that was Valentine's Day, 2000.
We'll feature "Samba Con Getchu," a composition from Bob Brookmeyer, one of the early members of the Thad Jones - Mel Lewis Orchestra. The VJO included Jay Brandford, Ralph Lalama, Dick Oatts, Rich Perry, Gary Smulyan, Saxophones / Glenn Drewes, Earl Gardner, Joe Mosello, Scott Wendholt, Trumpets / Luis Bonilla, Jason Jackson, John Mosca, Douglas Purviance, Trombones / Ted Rosenthal, Piano / Dennis Irwin, Bass / John Riley, Drums

The Braves new back-up backstop won't make anyone forget David Ross
UPDATE: It's a two-year deal. So Laird deserves two years but Ross doesn't? Financial terms not yet disclosed, but at best the Braves save $2 mil over two years. Penny saved, Braves fucking foolish!
According to Bowman, the Braves are near an agreement with Gerald Laird, late of the Tigers.
He's a career .244/.303/.359 hitter in the big leagues and has thrown out approximately 27% of attempted basestealers over the last three years.
In other words, he's Charlie O'Brien without the power.

Although Advanced Micro Devices said for a number of times that its first graphics processing units (GPUs) made using 28nm process technology will be released in 2011. A new report, however, suggests that the company's high-performance GPU made at 28nm node will only become available in the first quarter of 2012. The good news is that it will deliver two times higher performance compared to existing solutions.
As it appears, AMD this year will not be able to please PC gamers with a new high-end graphics solution as its most powerful Southern Island chip will only become available in the first quarter of 2012, according to Rage3D web-site. Unofficial sources reportedly indicate that the problem is on the production side and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is unable to ramp up the 28nm GPUs in volume in Q4 2011.
Fortunately, the new high-end single GPU offering is projected to bring performance levels close to the Radeon HD 6990 dual-GPU flagship card, which means that performance enthusiasts will be interested to buy it even in the first quarter, a slow season for graphics cards.
It remains to be seen whether AMD Radeon HD 7000-series will rely on VLIW4 architecture (Cayman-like), will sport a new graphics/compute architecture or something hybrid. It will be interesting to find out whether AMD will implement unified address space for CPU and GPU cores and/or other enhancements. What is for sure is that the Southern Islands will belong to DirectX 11-generation hardware as well as sport a new video processing engine.
AMD did not comment on the news-story.

Skip to comments.Dog-eating jokes are the main course at press dinner
Posted on 04/29/2012 3:33:59 PM PDT by null and void
the featured item on the menu was dog ... jokes -- which figured, since Barack Obama's old admission to eating dog as a child was just recently revived as a campaign sideshow. "Last week we learned that the president's two favorite steaks are rib eye and seeing eye," cracked comedian Jimmy Kimmel, the evening's host. But even Kimmel got a taste that it's tough to work a room better than the Obama himself.
The president touched on Sarah Palin's recent hosting of "Today" to segue into the night's toughest line: "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious."
(Excerpt) Read more at now.msn.com ...
Idi Amin wouldn't eat the dog...
Look for dog to be on the menu at some kewl bistro soon.
Har har har I too joke about the president eating dogs.
In the U.S.? Only if it's one where you have to give a password through a sliding hatch at the door, and tell 'em Barack sent you.
She is SO in his head..to this day. Hahahaha (big evil grin)
What a twit.
She is SO in his head..to this day. Hahahaha (big evil grin)
What a twit.
What's the difference between a POTUS and a TOTUS?
Depends who's serving. Right now it's Zero.
Thanks null and void.
Maybe Obama's nickname could be Pooch and his wife could Mooch.
The difference is there's a small chance he could nibble on the pit bull and live to tell about it.
.....So "rent free!"
Obama must be furious but holding it in. I guess he took a lot of happy pills. A person with his personality disorder cannot avoid it.
Next stop polygamy.
Woof! It's what's for dinner.
She lives in his head rent free.
Okay, he admitted in his book he ate dog meat. Did he just admit he's eaten a hockey mom? I just can't stop myself from calling it a tasteless joke. Maybe after November he can open for Biden's standup routine.
Aol must be getting paid off with Obama advertisements.
There is an add for Dinner with Obama. What will the Obama's be cooking up?
Well... he is an African. It's possible he's a cannibal.
It's a Bo-B-Que...
It's called lampshade hanging:
The creators are using the tactic of self-deprecatingly pointing out their own flaws themselves, thus depriving critics and opponents of their ammunition. The Turkey City Lexicon refers to this flavor of Lampshade Hanging as a "Signal from Fred", and reminds the author that if your characters are complaining about how stupid the latest plot development is, maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something.
He knew all about it. It just never occurred to him an American would find eating dogs repugnant.
Hard jokes are the usual at this dinner.
Actually, much better for Obama they are joking about eating dog than about people who can't get to work because their is no gas, or about how his enabling has caused Egypt to go radical muslim, isn't it.
"A pit bull is delicious."
Code for being gay?
Obama belongs in a league with Michael Vick - Michael Vick thought dog fights were entertainment and Obama thinks it is entertaining to joke about eating dogs - pathetic! And the media gives them both a pass. If these two men were not African American the press would fry them. Too bad the media doesn't seem to be aware that reverse racism is still racism.
What's the difference between Barack Obama and a sack of dog shit?
Our alien, homosexual, Marxist, America-hating president.
The sack.
Obama hasn't gotten the sack.
PETA will be issuing a very negative response to Obama's dog-eating jokes in 3, 2, 1...
A few years back before the Olympic Games in Athens, they had a wild dog problem there. They rounded up some 20,000 dogs I think, I believe they shipped some of them to Asia.
Also the other big thing being eaten there are cats, they sell live cats in the open markets there to be slaughtered for food.
I can't decide which is worse to contemplate.
We watched about 1 minute of Kimmel's routine on TV. Then I could not take it anymore. His delivery was horrendous. One would think that a professional comedian would know better than to stand there and read his jokes.
No one dares beat The King at any game.

As clock speeds and communication channels run at ever higher frequencies, engineers who have previously had little need to consider clock jitter and phase noise are finding that they need to increase their knowledge of these subjects. This primer provides an overview of jitter, offers practical assistance in making jitter measurements and examines the role phase locked loops (PLLs) have in this field.
This in-depth, very readable tutorial explores the many types, impact, and measurement of jitter. It is presented as on on-going series in eight sections.
1: Classes of Jitter (click here)
2: Types of Jitter Measurements
3: Wander
4: Time versus Frequency Domain Measurements
6: Spurs
7: PLL Characteristics
8: Clock Buffers
About the author
Howell Mitchell is a Staff Applications Engineer at Silicon Labs where he is responsible for product support for a family of jitter-attenuating PLL-based timing devices. Mr. Mitchell has worked with PLL-based ICs and timing circuits for more than 25 years. In previous roles, he has been involved in high-speed networking, quantum key distribution and parallel processing development projects. Mr. Mitchell holds five patents in the areas of phase modulation and quantum key distribution. He holds a BA in Physics from Bucknell University and an MA in Engineering from Northeastern University.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (54 votes).
In short: Great scenic countryside race, recommended!In full: Great race this was on perhaps warmest evening of the year so far. Loads of marshals, some good local support. Hill in the last mile was hard going but other than that it seemed on the easier side of undulating! Would definately do this again. Only downsides were difficulty parking before the race, and some car dodging throughout the race. Oh, and not sure about the yellow plastic memento, is it a coaster? Oh well, still a great race.Date of review: July 7, 2007
In short: Well organsied run, interesting course.In full: Good run, great marshalls, cakes at end good!Date of review: July 5, 2006
In short: great way to spend a warm summer evening! Date of review: July 4, 2006
In short: Very enjoyable event, a nice friendly race especialy since its quite local. I did this race the first year and all I could remember was the hill at 5 miles, it didn't seem as bad as i rembered. Date of review: July 4, 2006
In short: A fantastic small race, great organisation, just a shame England lost beforehand!In full: Lovely scenery, fantastic atmosphere and the whole event ran like clockwork. Was a bad race for me personally (started off far too fast) and so I had nothing left to give at 'the hill' after 5 miles, but the event atmosphere and organisation more than made up for it. The only improvements I can think of for next year would be a timing clock at the finish line for those who don't run with a stopwatch, and *maybe* two drinks stations?! But all in all a flawless event... big congratulations to the organisers!Date of review: July 2, 2006
In short: nice way to spend a summer evening running in the countryIn full: good race but best to keep your mind on the run not the scenary as you might end up falling in a hole by the side of the road like me :-( Date of review: July 2, 2006
In short: Very nice race.In full: Heed the warnings about the hill at the end and save a bit in the tank for it. :)Date of review: July 2, 2006
In short: Great race. But oh so hot!In full: Numbers seemed down on last year, but given the heat and seeing as the England match only finished an hour before I guess that's not surprisng.This is a really good evening 'no frills' race: turn up, run, go for a pint! The marshalling was excellent and very supportive, runners very friendly and the route nice and scenic with very little traffic. This is a fast course, thoguh saving a bit for the hill in the last mile is always a good idea.Date of review: July 2, 2006
In short: Great circular course, very friendly small run, expert organisation.In full: This course is billed as out and back, it is circular in great country side on very well marshalled roads. Fantastic finish with bags of hot drinks, fresh sandwiches and friendly organsiers doing their damnest to make it a good runners evening.Date of review: July 4, 2005
In short: Great organisation, great route, great scenery, great bunch of people. Just a great raceDate of review: July 4, 2005

Okay, I'm hooked up to do another Q&A with Chris......I want to start compiling some questions to send. I have some already, but this is a shout out everyone else that if you have a question about the Indians farm system (philosophies, players, staff, etc), please feel free to post your question in a reply.
Chris knows the Indians system in and out, and talks to Farrell/Shapiro several times a week. So, if you have a question you'd like answered, he is the one to ask.

Flute World
America's #1 flute specialty house since 1983.
The essential acoustical element of every flute is the headjoint. For this reason alone, every headjoint must be handmade. This endeavor is left to the most accomplished craftsmen at Pearl. However, flute-making experience is not the only skill needed for this work, but an understanding of the art of flute playing is also necessary. For this reason, all of our headjoint makers are accomplished flautists. Having experienced years of both playing and listening, they now hone their craft with a view to concert performance and artistic expression.Pearl Headjoints are available in several cuts.Forte: This headjoint is a crowning achievement for Pearl. This headjoint is designed for large orchestras and concert halls. The Forte is very responsive, and produces a dark centered tone and enables a wide dynamic spectrum throughout the entire range of the instrument.
Vivo: This headjoint combines its own, graceful embouchure plate with modern undercutting techniques. It is easily controlled and produces an open and clear tone. The Vivo sound is silky smooth and ideal for chamber situations.
Calore: The Calore headjoint is Pearl's most responsive and flexible headjoint ever created. Pearl craftsmen have designed a perfect blend of powerful tone, effortless articulation and exceptional dynamic range in one headjoint that is simply a joy to play.Typical of the big American Orchestral sound with a lot of flexibility, wide dynamic range and fast articulation.
Vivace: The Vivace headjoint offers a little less undercutting while maintaining crisp, clear and fast articulation. Players requiring more resistance will enjoy this headjoint.
Many headjoint lip plate/riser metal combinations are available, some as SPECIAL ORDER ONLY. Please contact us for more information.

Thompson Health's Speech Pathology Department will host free screenings for oral, head and neck cancer on Friday, April 19, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Rehabilitation Services in the Constellation Center for Health and Healing, 350 Parrish St., Canandaigua. Screenings will be conducted by Dr. John Centonze of Finger Lakes Otolaryngology, who is donating his time to provide services at no cost to participants. This event coincides with Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week, which begins April 14.
Those who exhibit warning signs of oral, head and neck cancer – cancers that develop in the tongue, tonsils, sinuses, larynx (voice box), thyroid, salivary glands, on the skin of the face and neck and in the lymph nodes of the neck – are encouraged to schedule an appointment for a screening. These warning signs can include red or white patches in the mouth, vocal changes or hoarseness lasting more than two weeks, a sore throat that does not subside, pain or swelling in the mouth or neck that does not subside, a lump in the neck, ear pain and difficulty speaking, swallowing and/or breathing.
Those who smoke or use chewing tobacco – behaviors related to 85 percent of oral, head and neck cancer cases – are also encouraged to schedule a screening, as are those who consume alcohol in excess. In addition, young adults displaying any of the aforementioned symptoms are urged to schedule a screening, as research has linked increased incidences of tongue and tonsil cancer in this traditionally low-risk population to the rise of human papillomavirus (HPV), a cancer-causing virus that can be transmitted through oral sex.
Registration is required; please call the Speech Pathology Department at (585) 396-6267 for additional information or to schedule an appointment. For more information, visit www.ThompsonHealth.com.
The Constellation Center for Health and Healing is located on the north side of the main Thompson Health campus and is accessible via The Thompson Way off of West Street. Once inside the Constellation Center, please follow signs for Rehabilitation Services.

Just purchased a tin of Adagio Masala Chai, but am not sure how to prepare it.
I brewed some and mixed it with sugar and milk. It tasted okay, except that using fat-free milk probably isn't correct and it tasted a bit watery. Should I use a higher fat milk, cream, or some other type of milk?
I have seen recipes where the tea is brewed with the milk, does this taste better or is it just the more traditional method?
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints!

Topic: Rake routes output to file?
Is there a way to send rake results to a file? I'd like to do a 'rake routes' from command line and have the output added to a file.

Is there a way to send rake results to a file? I'd like to do a 'rake routes' from command line and have the output added to a file.
rake routes >> filename.txt
LOL, that was fun. I don't know why I would ever need to do that, but I love one line answers. Any idea why this would be necessary?
I could see it being helpful. Instead of re-running rake routes each time, assuming the routes haven't changed, you could just open a routes.txt file and see the routes.
Thanks MusicMan. I find it useful to have a text file with my routes to refer to rather than having to run rake routes every time.
I set this up to export to a log file. It's not exactly a log, but it seems like a nice place to tuck the file away. I wrote a bash alias 'routelog' to update the file. Just add this line to the beginning of your "~/.profile" file from your favorite command line text editor.
alias routelog='rm ./log/routes.log && rake routes >> ./log/routes.log'
This only works if you are in the main directory of your project. There is probably a better way to do this, but I think this is pretty explicit about what it's doing and I can use it in any project without configuration.
Any suggestions for a cleaner solution?

It's not hard to figure out why the Bulls are the best team in the NBA. They lead the league in rebounds, assists to turnover numbers, and defense. Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau has each player on his roster gowing for broke everytime they hit the court, and expects nothing less than 110% from each player when their name is called during a game or in practice. Injuries have made position battles more competitive than games against opponents it seems. Why was there no trade made at the deadline even though CJ Watson, Derrick Rose, Luo Deng, and Rip Hamilton have all missed games with various injuries? Because guys like Jimmy Butler, Kyle Korver, and and the signed & released twice Mike James have stepedp up when they are needed. Guys like John Lucas III....
Born in DC to former NBA player and coach John Lucas, Lucas III has played all over the world in his seven years in pro basketball. His time with the Bulls has been a strange trip at times, as he spent the 2010 preseason with the club, Only to get waived right before the start of the season. The Bulls re-signed Lucas a month later, but unfortunately his debut turned into a misery, as he missed two big free throws in the final seconds in Denver. The free throws would have put the game out of reach, instead he missed and former Nuggett Carmelo anthony game down court and hit a game winning shot at the buzzer. Ouch. Lucas was again cut January, but re-signed with the Bulls in March. He started his 1st game ever in january 2012 with a win over Washington, setting a career-high 25 points, and in minutes (45), assists (8), and rebounds (8) .
Yet none of this seemed to matter until the Bulls played the Miami heat without their star point guard.
Lucas was the star of game, scoring 22 points which included a 4th quarter duel with former teammate LeBron James. He carried the team on his back as starting point guard Watson (slowed by injuries) sat much of the 4th quarter. While Deng and Boozer lacked offense during the game, their energy and leadership helped push the non-starters, labeled "The Bench Mob", into contributing tremendously, one player to the next. It didnt hurt that the crowd was super-hot in Chicago, and was ready to go from the tip. Lucas, who hasnt gotten a bunch of playing time this year because of Watson being the back-up, seemed to feed off the crowd 's energy and hit big shot after big shot in the 2nd and 4th quarter. The Heat had no answer for Lucas, which is ironic since they had Lucas on the Heat roster in 2009.
After the game I asked Lucas despite the night's big performance, what he thought he could have done better: "That last turnover," he said. "just being too loose with the ball, but I told myself I was gonna make up for it!"
Lucas spent the 2009 preseason with the Heat, playing in four games, and averaged 7.0 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game. Then on October 23, 2009, he got the word: he had been waived right before the team bus was leaving the hotel to go to that night's game..
"I had a great training camp for them," Lucas said. "Spo (Heat coach Erik Spoelstra) and them came to me and said they needed a little more of a veteran, so they brought Carlos Arroyo in. I just took it on the chin. It's a business. It's part of the game."
Playing all over the word and getting sparatic playing time would kill some guys' spirt, but not Lucas.
"I love the game of basketball. I love it with all my heart," he said. "I would never stop. This is the highest level, so I'm always going to shoot for the highest level."
With Watson and Deng banged up, and Hamilton being MIA mosted of the season, another big scorer is a necessaity, and if Lucas can becom e that spark off the bench that this team needs the Bulls can go a long way.
''Everybody's here for a reason. Like Thibs said, 'It's not an accident you're on this team. You're a professional.' And if you want to play professionally, you've got to step up!"

Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (e.g. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or D or W
|= Wide
|2E or WW
|= Extra Wide
Fitting Tips
Get sized regularly by a professional, preferably using a Brannock device. It is important to measure the width of the foot and to take into consideration the type of arch you have.
Wear the right socks. Consider your plans and activities and wear the most breathable and absorbent socks or stockings for the occasion with the appropriate footwear. If going bare, keep clean and dry.
Check the construction. Look at the sole and heel of the shoe to see what kind of terrain the shoe is meant to handle. Also look inside to assess the lining and upper elements of the shoe, checking to see how they will address your needs. A leather lined shoe will generally last longer than one without lining, though the unlined shoe may be lighter and more appreciated in warmer climates.
Walk around. When trying on a new pair of shoes, always try on both pair and walk around a bit - always on a clean indoor surface of course. Flex your arch and toes to see if the shoes feel good while you move about. Try shoes on in the afternoon or evening. Feet swell to their largest as the day progresses, so you will get a better reading of your true size once your feet have warmed up to the day.
Some Specifics
Allow some time to break in a great pair of leather shoes--the best ones are a little tight in the beginning. By doing it right you'll have shoes that are molded to your feet perfectly. See the How To Care tab for advice on proper shoe maintenance.
If the upper of the shoe is made of elastic or an elastic-blend fabric the shoe should fit snugly and need no breaking in. Shoes should never squeeze or cramp your toes.
If your shoes are slightly too loose in the in-step, a toe pad can be added to create a better fit, preventing any unnecessary friction.
For more heel and arch support or extra cushioning, consider custom fitted orthotic inserts, or even some gel inserts to target the problem.
Fitting Questions? Please call 1-888-400-2623 or email 'email@example.com'
About the Designer
Thierry Rabotin
Why can't all shoes be as comfortable as house slippers? That's the question Thierry Rabotin asked himself when he was growing up in a small village in west-central France. He became a shoe designer in 1978 to answer his own question and to create shoes as blissfully comfortable as going barefoot.
Today, the Thierry Rabotin factory in Italy preserves age-old artisan shoemaking skills while maintaining the highest technical standards. Soft, premium-quality leathers are carefully inspected and matched, and then are joined to the last using a sacchetto construction that ensures a flexible, lightweight, and glovelike fit. Poron memory foam in the insole provides resilient padding; many styles have built-in arch support.
Are Thierry Rabotin shoes as comfortable as walking barefoot? Just ask the many passionate customers in our Union Square Store. They'll tell you that once you try on a pair of Thierry Rabotin shoes, even barefoot doesn't feel right!
