Australian PM-elect reaffirms plans to repeal the country's carbon tax
10:59 AM MDT | September 9, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
Australia's prime minister-elect, Tony Abbott, has reaffirmed plans to repeal Australia's carbon tax legislation, following the victory of his Liberal-National coalition in federal elections on 7 September , according to reports by Bloomberg. Abbott's coalition campaigned vowing to repeal the carbon tax. Abbott still needs the backing of minor parties in the country's upper house to scrap the carbon tax, Bloomberg says. "From today, I declare that Australia is under new management and Australia is once more open for business," says Abbott, quoted in a...

Cuche rolls back the years to win in the Garmisch Downhill
For the second time in two weeks the weather played its part in the proceedings and for the second time the result was the same: HEAD World Cup Rebel Didier Cuche won! With cloud cover meaning that the top half of the famed Kandahar course could not be used, the shortened course started at the Super G start. For Cuche this win was some redemption for the silver medal place he took in the 2011 World Championships, this time it was World Champion Erik Guay who took second and Hannes Reichelt took third.
How do you replace a man like Didier Cuche on your team? "This is a good question," explained HEAD World Cup Rebels race manager, Rainer Salzgeber after the race that had seen Cuche win his third race of the season and retake the lead in the Downhill World Cup. "The answer is you cannot replace him," continued Salzgeber, "It was amazing seeing him charge down the hill." Salzgeber explained that since Cuche announced his retirement in Kitzbuehel, Cuche has been able to focus entirely on his skiing.
With Cuche in dominant form with back to back victories, Johan Clarey posted another top ten result yet was a little disappointed not to have made the podium. "Next week will be good to race in front of the family and hopefully I can make the podium in Chamonix," he explained after finishing 7th. "I made too many small mistakes at the top and when the course is so short, this makes it difficult," Clarey said after the race.
With Bode Miller having been a few minutes late for the bib draw and having to start thirty places after his draw number (16), no one watching the race was sure of the result until after he had finished. The softening snow meant that the course was slowing down and his cause was not helped by catching an edge in an almost replica of his Kitzbuehel run.
The race belonged to Didier Cuche. After the race he spoke that it was nice to be on top this time after being second last year in the World Championships. With a glint in his eye Cuche then added that the time difference was almost the same as last year! With Erik Guay leading when Cuche was on course, Guay topped his hat in recognition of Cuche's performance as he crossed the line and took the lead.
Cuche now leads the Downhill standings by 69 points with Bode Miller in fifth and Johan Clarey in sixth.

Two Brentwood residents are claiming rules for the town's home energy-efficiency program were broken when a former town councilwoman received nearly triple the grant amount that other residents received for home improvements.
Anne Warden and Dolores Pomerleau allege in a Prince George's County Circuit Court lawsuit that $27,000 from Brentwood's Green Home Initiative was approved for energy renovations made to the home of Marlene Robinson, who served on the Town Council from May 2005 to May 2011.
The program was set up to help low- and moderate-income homeowners cut down on energy costs. According to the initiative application, homeowners are eligible for "up to $10,000."
"I think it is just not fair that a lot is going to one person," Warden said.
The women — both of whom applied for the program and said they received $10,000 each in renovations — initially filed a complaint in October against Brentwood Mayor Roger E. Rudder and the Town Council; the complaint was updated Jan. 4 to add Robinson as a defendant, because the plaintiffs' lawyer, Christopher Gowen, said they decided Robinson should have known her participation in the process was improper.
Gowen said he hopes to recover for the program any money that has been given to Robinson or town-selected contractor, Riverdale-based K&A Enterprises Inc., who Gowen said performed work on Robinson's home. K&A Enterprises was one of several contractors tapped by the town to perform work on residents' homes. The complaint does not ask for any damages to be awarded to the plaintiffs.
A person who answered the phone at K&A Enterprises declined to comment.
Robinson confirmed that energy-efficiency upgrades were performed on her home by K&A Enterprises, but said town officials negotiated the terms of the work without her involvement. She questioned the $27,000 work estimate, but declined to comment further.
Rudder declined to comment on the case, Robinson's claim that she wasn't involved in negotiations or the guidelines for the energy grants program. He said most of the $300,000 allotted for the program has been spent. Town Clerk Melora Anderson referred questions about the grants to Rudder.
The plaintiffs also allege that the grant for Robinson's home violates the town charter's conflict-of-interest guidelines, which state that town officials cannot participate in decisions and approvals in which they have a financial interest. The complaint states that the rule applies to future financial interests as well. The council received the grant in 2010, and in February 2011 K&A Enterprises Inc. was hired, among other contractors, to perform renovation services on homes while Robinson was still a council member.
In a response to the complaint filed in November, Town Attorney Jason DeLoach said town officials approved paying $27,000 for the work done to Robinson's home and confirmed that no other resident received more than $10,000 from the program. However, DeLoach denied in the response that the application for the program stated that no resident could receive more than $10,000, and denied that officials violated the town charter or Maryland's conflict-of-interest law. No additional details were provided in the response, and DeLoach did not return calls for comment.
The town received the money for the program through an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant from Prince George's County, which was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. According to the Memorandum of Understanding for the grant, at least 25 Brentwood households were to be selected for the grants, and the rest of money was to be used for the administration of the program.
Carol Terry, public information officer for the county's Department of Environmental Resources, which issued the grant and oversaw the program, declined to comment due to the litigation.
The Gazette filed a Maryland Public Information Act Request on Nov. 7 requesting details regarding program spending, but the information has not been provided. Rudder wrote in a Dec. 18 email to The Gazette that the town is understaffed because it has no town administrator and only a part-time treasurer, causing a delay in the town's response.
A pre-trial conference has been scheduled for April 23.

Celebrating Ray Harryhausen
At lunch with a good friend today, the subject of Ray Harryhausen's films came up. Later I watched Jason and the Argonauts. What a film that was for its time. Nothing like it for stop motion animation and still holds up great to this day.
Of the many scenes and sequences that come to mind for me when I think of the that film, this one stands out. The inadvertent awakening of Talos when Hercules steals a broach pin of the gods. I remember the terror I felt as a kid first time I saw it.
Here's the sequence where the collosal bronze statue comes to life.

Debut novelist Eowyn ivey's experience living in the Alaskan wilderness brings a palpable authenticity to The Snow Child. Alaska in the 1920s is a difficult place for Jack and Mabel. Drifting apart, the childless couple discover Faina, a young girl living alone in the wilderness. Soon, Jack and Mabel come to love Faina as their own. But when they learn a surprising truth about the girl, their lives change in profound ways.

"Magical, realistic and well worth listening to"
I've always loved fairy tale adaptations (Jane Yolen, Robin McKinley, Patricia Wrede) and The Snow Child is among the best, perhaps in a class by itself. The Snow Child is a retelling of a Russian fairy tale set in the wild and isolated Alaskan frontier in the 1920s. Ivey stunningly describes the land, the snow and the extreme hardships of trying to make a life there. Mabel and Jack have settled in Alaska to try and escape the sadness and grief of their life in Pennsylvania. One night they create a child out of snow, and the next morning ethereal child Faina enters their lives. Is she an orphan fending for herself in the forest or the creation of Mabel and Jack? I had a little trouble at this point, constantly wondering, "Is she real?" but I eventually stopped questioning and just enjoyed the story.
For me, this book was mainly about parenthood (biologic or not), with all its multiple joys and heartbreaks. Particularly poignant is Mabel's intense longing for a child, with her heavy and heartbreaking feelings and actions. Mabel's and Jack's recognition of their motherhood and fatherhood, the mistakes they may have made and experiences they may have missed in truly becoming parents are also beautifully written. There are some achingly wonderful and sad moments when Jack in particular sees Faina as the person she truly is and no longer the image of a child he has held in his mind. This book is magical, realistic, harsh, beautiful and well worth listening to.
"Extraordinary beauty in a white wilderness"
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey is an extraordinary work of art and is a major contribution to the literature of the American West.
Its description and visual imagery of the natural world of Alaska is the equal of Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Its portrayal of the marriage tensions of Jack and Mabel is the equal of Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose. Lively Esther is the equal to the strong western woman in an Ivan Doig novel.
Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It ends with "I am haunted by waters."
I am haunted by The Snow Child.
And I am haunted by Faina's voice as performed by Debra Monk.
"An enchanting, haunting story"
I fell under the spell of this book within the first few sentences. The author creates a magical setting in the Alaskan wilderness where the northern lights, snow-covered meadows, frozen rivers and wild animals seem perfect and beautiful. When you live with Jake and Mabel, you live in this land, and you get to know it as they do -- living fully within it and accepting its harshness as well as its beauty. In this setting, a child who seems to come to life from snow seems almost logical -- and although Jack and Mabel wonder about Faina, they come to accept her as their own, just as they accept the rest of Alaska's mysteries.
I loved the gentle tone of the narrator, and loved the beautiful, magical story. This one will stay with me for a long time.
Rating scale: 5=Loved it, 4=Liked it, 3=Ok, 2=Disappointed, 1=Hated it. I look for well developed characters, compelling stories.
"Both fanciful and feral"
To me, the book that comes closest in mood and tone to this one is "The Orchardist". I suspect that readers who enjoyed that book will enjoy this one, and those who did not, will not enjoy it. In both books, the sense of time and the land is beautifully evoked through the eloquently descriptive writing. Successfully conveying the space, the cold and the isolation of the vast landscape allows understanding of the fear, awe and ultimately commitment to the land that the main characters, Mabel and Jack, experience. For them, the sorrow of an earlier loss has left them lonely and distanced from each other. But the mysterious appearance of a child who they need as much as she needs them, opens up their hearts and teaches them how to live again, another theme similar to "The Orchardist". The mystery of the girl - is she real or not - adds a touch of magic for the reader as it does for Mabel and Jack. That said, I would advise readers hoping that this is a magical fairy tale to think twice before downloading. As in "The Orchardist", the story is told with little sentimentality. The life and death struggle of surviving in the Alaskan wilderness through trapping and hunting, freezing and starving, makes it clear that this is an unforgiving life for the unprepared. Detailed discussions of animals being hunted are included and are not for those tender hearted towards the animals.
Some readers are dissatisfied with the ending, but I was ok with it. I don't see any other way it could have ended, and found it consistent with what came before. The supporting characters are somewhat shallowly written, but overall I did not find it a major distraction.
"I loved this!"
I thought this was a sweet love story and a beautiful book. The author paints the Alaskan wilderness with the fluidity of a poet. Te narration took a bit to get used to but once I was into the book I thought she captured the essence of the characters perfectly! Great selection.
English major. Love to read
"Two weeks later, it's still with me"
Maybe it's because I needed to just fall into a book that the premise of this book appealed to me. And fall into it I did. It is magical, well-written and lyrical. I am not one to give a plot summary - if you choose this, you will find out soon enough. But I will tell you that you probably won't enjoy this book if you can't let yourself be taken away by some elements of fairy tale. The plot is not completely improbable, it just stretches you to let go of the realism of your own life and step into another place and not judge how you got there. A truly wonderful winter read.
"Glad I listened and didn't have to read!"
I listened to this book for my book club and because I didn't have time to sit and read the book. I don't think that I would have been able to finish the book if I were just reading the book. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and so I was anxious to keep listening.
I think a lot of women will be able to relate to Mabel and her inability to have children. Jack and Mabel obviously love one another, but both struggle with their inability to have children.
I love the neighbors. They brought so much life into the story.
I think my favorite scene was when Mabel started working in the garden after Jack was injured. I think she grew into herself while working in the garden along side Garrett.
Yes, I could definitely see this book being made into a movie. I'm not sure who the stars should be.
I love to read books set in interesting places or historical settings. I especially love mysteries and thrillers.
"Is it real or a fairy tale?"
We start off with a couple in their 50's, Mabel and Jack, homesteaders in Alaska during the 1920's. The beginning starts off bleak as the dream of homesteading has turned into a cabin fever nightmare. The couple are growing apart instead of bonding. As the story progresses, a snowman made to look like a young blond girl turns into the real thing within days. Is the girl real or a fairy tale similar to Mabel's favorite story growing up?
As the Snow Child, named Faina, comes alive in the story, she brings happiness and anticipation to the lives of Mabel and Jack. From that point on, the story builds where circumstances cause Mabel to become much more involved in the running of the farm -- to the significant improvement in her well being. Some additional characters are introduced that are interesting and keep the story moving well. I absolutely loved Esther, their neighbor.
My only complaint is that the story was just getting better and better, and then the ending became predictable and not as strong as the rest of the story. But I would still recommend this book to anyone who loves unique stories with lots to think about. I loved learning more about homesteading and Alaska.
The narrator did a very good job with the story. I look forward to this author's second book.

"Mixed feelings...."
I loved the characters in this story, the story line, the description of the environment and homes and the narration..it was all very good.. What I didn't like was the detailed description of the slaughtering of animals.. I understand that this is set in the 1920's when people had to hunt for their food, but I didn't enjoy hearing how the animals were slaughtered, and then a very detailed description of how they were gutted, cut up and served.. Being an animal lover, I found it very disturbing. It took me weeks to get through this book because of that. Once the slaughtering began, I'd turn it off. Eventually, I'd start wondering what happened with the characters, so I'd start to listen again, only to eventually have another descriptive slaughter roll around.. There's even a part where a swan is slaughtered..
To be honest, though, I did feel like the story moved rather slowly and only picked up near the end of the story.. I started to get really interested in it towards the end where it turns into a sweet love story, only to have it take a drastic turn that seemed kind of stupid to me. Kind of seemed like the author was in a hurry to get it done so the ending was rushed...
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and have mixed feelings about having finally listened to the entire story...
"Poorly edited and poorly written"
The first half of the story was intriguing but it turns into a sappy romance novel for the entire second half which is not what the description implied. It was also poorly edited and the author could have told the same story in half the time/words.

Tip of the hat to the young, handsome man who stopped me several blocks from my home: I had left a china plate and bowl on the trunk lid of my car. It was for my great-granddaughter. Thank you so much. I'll say a prayer for you each day. (Yes — I'm in my 90s.)
I would like to give five tips of the hat to clerks Dorothy Drew, Patty Hartman-Hoeppner and Todd Squibb, and Judges Ed Ross and Michael, who worked at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 601 Reed Road, on Election Day, Nov. 6, 2012. These workers worked very diligently in greeting and assisting voters with a warm hello and thanking all of us for voting during a large voter turnout on Election Day.

Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.

Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
Seven years ago, fellow filmmaker Terry Kay Rockefeller and I set out on a voyage of discovery that would result in RENEWAL, the first feature-length documentary about America's religious-environmental movement.
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
As we mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, we'd do well to remember that it was successful because of its remarkable grassroots response. We've all become aware of the daily choices we encounter where we could all do our part.
When we read Genesis 1.1: "in the beginning God created the heavens and earth" we picture the origin of the atmosphere, space, solar systems, and galaxies. But in Genesis 1 "earth" does not mean the planet Earth.
Genesis 6-9 tells the fascinating story of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. Some Christians interpret the text to mean that the biblical flood must have covered the entire globe. They also work to explain the evidence in rocks and fossils in terms of this world-wide flood. Other Christians do not feel the text requires that the flood be global, but could have covered the small region of earth known to Noah. The scientific and historical evidence does not support a global flood, but is consistent with a catastrophic regional flood. Beyond its place in history, the Genesis flood teaches us about human depravity, faith, obedience, divine judgment, grace and mercy.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Atrahasis is important to biblical scholars because of it similarity to Genesis 2-9. Both stories share a similar storyline: creation, population growth and rebellion, flood. They also share some important details within that storyline.

Nice product but doesn't fit in the boot when on my child's foot.
R McGregor
on Thursday, October 30, 2014
I feel the idea is great, but I believe the product is poorly designed. The material is good, but there is a thick hem sewn around the edges and right in the middle of the foot, my son has wellie boots that are 1 size too big with out the the socks, so I thought fitting these is would make them perfect, however when I put my sons foot in and he walked in them he cried saying they were sore and pointed to the top of foot. Because I had taken tags off and tried to use them I'm not entitled to a refund, I think £12 is pricey for a poorly designed product. When I ordered this product online, you only see the product in the boot, no picture is shown with just the sock, meaning you don't see this flaw prior to purchase.

My granddaughter loves these-so soft
on Tuesday, September 30, 2014
I bought these for my 21 month old. I was a bit disappointed that the toe end is very narrow - his feet only just fit in; they are a 5 and he is a 4 1/2. I threw the packaging away after I checked them, but before I checked the fit, so I can't return them. They are a lovely idea, but far too narrow fitting!

These do what they are advertised to do, lovely and snug for autumn/winter. We got the rainbow ones and they are pretty funky!
on Thursday, September 11, 2014
My 3 year old couldn't get on with these and kept taking them off so returned them for socks instead. A shame because they looked great, probably more about the picky child than the product!
on Friday, September 05, 2014
Nice warm fleecy wells liners and love that the striped pattern is unisex. They are quite narrow for wide chubby toddler feet (G fitting) but are generous length ways.

I wanted the polar-fleece wellie warmers for my grandchildren aged 6 years and 10 years. They looked very well made, very warm and very attractive.
However I realised that they were completely inappropriate to wear in sewage contaminated flood water. I returned them without opening
them. My grandchildren were disappointed!!!!!

Really pleased with the wellie liners - they fit really well in wellies and keep feet extra warm and comfy
on Tuesday, December 31, 2013
As a grannie I visit the Newbury shop. All are helpful there. Ordering online is very efficient and everything delivered in good time. This Christmas wellies and the various socks were gratefully received. My daughter-in-law is a great fan of JoJo and we buy much from them. Never had a problem with exchange.

These wellie liners are absolutely lovely. They are lovely and warm. My daughter seems very comfortable. One thing I would suggest is to make the outside of them smoother with less lumps so they slide more easily into the wellies. I think the toddler size 5-6 that I bought is more suited to size 6 wellies because they are a little too big for the size 5 wellies my daughter has. My daughter seems comfortable in them though so that is evidence that they cannot be that 'lumpy'! I would recommend them to others.

perfect - warm, snuggly and great to wear with wellies now it's colder. Thank you!

Fantastic welly warmer for little ones. The fabric is very thick and doesn't take up too much space in the boot. Will certainly recommend this product for cosy feet!

Great for cold, wet days when wellies alone might not be enough. Keeps my two year old's feet cosy and makes sure she can still jump in puddles in the park!

Lovely liners that not only keep my little boy's toes toasty but also look great.

Great liners but make sure you buy a size smaller than the welly. I didn't and they are very difficult to put on and my daughter complains that they are wrinkled inside the boot .
on Thursday, November 14, 2013
These wellie liners are well shaped so fit inside boots smoothly and are lovely and warm. Good length so fit my son's very high boots and the stars pattern looks great!

They are perfect for keeping little toes nice & cosy. They're very cute
Paula Butcher

I bought these for my son, he had size 9 wellies which were too big so bought the liners in size 9-10 to keep his feet warm and stop the wellies slipping about. With the liners in the boot he can not easily slip his foot in and out the wellies. We had to put the liner on his foot then put his foot in the boot which means he can not do it himself easily. He also says that they are uncomfortable on his toes because the material is bunched up. I now need to buy him wellies in a size 10 so that these liners fit, which seems a bit silly when they are size 9-10 liners.

Really lovely. As always. Great quality, best baby clothes around! Speedy delivery too and for free!

Great product. It keeps those little toes warm on cold wet days. Easy to use and work a treat.
on Thursday, October 10, 2013
They're so cosy :) Just a bit of a fiddle to fit inside the wellies though... I bought size 3-4 liners to go with a size 4 wellie, but I think they might fit a size 5 wellie better.

Beautiful, practical - and comfortable, as long as you put them on like a sock first, separately from the boots, rather the try to put them on while already inside the boot...

Live these wellie liners. Bought them for my son and daughter. The larger ones for my older son fitted no problem into his wellies and he could slip his foot in. My 1 year old daughter is a size four so once the liners were in her wellies I couldn't get her feet in. As in the product description I tried them with wellies a size larger and they fitted perfect. Great product as they can now wear their wellies in the snow.
on Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Really nice soft wellie liners which I am sure will keep my daughters feet warm in the winter. I bought the liners in the correct size for my daughter, however bought the wellies in the size up in the hope they would last a little longer. I have found it difficult to get her feet into the wellies with the liners on, so not sure they will last very long. However am happy with the quality and they will definitely keep her feet warm!
on Sunday, May 12, 2013
Really didn't get on very well with these unfortunately, which is a shame as they are really cozy. My 3 year-old son has quite wide feet and it was a real struggle to get them on him as they were really tight over the bridge of his foot. Even my daughter (who doesn't have the same wide feet) didn't get on well with these, it was just too much of a struggle to get them on. Bought the welly socks instead which are much better.

First time I have bought these, look great in the wellies an my daughter can't wait to use them she said they are very warm @ cosy, unfortunately weather has been ok and she has not been able to wear them out, we may get snow in May!

My son lives in his wellies so thought this would be a great buy, but no! impossible for him to get his boots on/off by himself (cue tantrum!) and they bunch up inside the boots making it uncomfortable, (cue moaning!) I've never got a few meters out the door without removing them, very annoying - but they are nicely made.

A nice idea but quite tricky to use. If I put them on my son's feet then put his wellies on it works but this is not ideal when I am encouraging him to dress independantly. I ended up giving them to a friend whose child has smaller feet.

I bought it for my 2 yrs old daughter. Lovely product, good material but unfortunately not for us. I bought it together with jojo wellie (Wellies size 7 and liners 7 too). Unfortunately once I put liners on my daughter feet could not get Wellie on. I ended up returning them.
on Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Keep my daughters feet warm and they look lovely with her yellow JoJo wellies. Had to buy a wellie size bigger to fit with the liners.
on Saturday, December 08, 2012
lovely item. super cute and my little girl loves them
on Friday, November 30, 2012
Bought these in 3/4 to go with size 3 wellies. Really had difficulty fitting them into the boots and then for my 1yo to fit into the boots! Will end up just pulling them over her feet while she is in the buggy to keep her feet warm rather than using them with the wellies. Shame really

Practical, fun and good value for money. Great fit, warm and snuggly - superb!!
on Saturday, November 24, 2012
I bought two of these with matching wellies for my twin boys. They are so lovely and my boys who normally dont like wellies, seem to enjoy wearing them with these on, I can only assume they are warm and comfy.

Lovely warm cosy liners, I bought them to go with Jojo Maman babe wellies and they are a great fit.
I bought the wellies a size larger and both my children are very happy with their new comfy wellies

Indeed, tricky to get on the 1st time, but wonderfully cosy and warm.
on Monday, October 22, 2012
These are lovely and warm, but they can be tricky to get into the wellies, especially if your child has little feet. A good way is to put the liners on their feet first and then the wellies on their feet. I also found I needed to get a 'size up' for my little boy as the smallest were too tiny.

My son likes these so much he want to wear them in his boot but also out like "soft socks"!

on Thursday, September 13, 2012
Whilst the wellie liners were really nice, unfortunately I couldnt get the smallest size into size 3 wellies, never mind my daughters foot. She is currently a 2.5 shoe size. I think they are perhaps a bit fiddly when you cant get your hand in the boot.

How and when did Haltonsc start?
The club's emblem represents a swimmer passing under the bridge that divides the two borough towns of Runcorn and Widnes, bringing them together. The official Halton Borough Council colour is green.
In June 1961 a final schools gala needed to be held at the old Widnes baths in Victoria Road. This was due to the delayed opening of a new pool that had taken 18 months to build at a cost of £166,000. The original Kingsway pool was designed by H. N. Player, the borough architect, to be colorful, warm and suitable for use by the disabled and was a significant step forward in modern pool design in the area. The pool had revolutionary under floor heating, sound deadening and 3 diving boards with seating accommodation for 168 people. The pool dimensions were 110 ft long x 42 ft wide and a depth that ranged from 3ft 6 to 10 ft. "This swimming pool building was designed by Neville Player, who also designed the College across the road. It opened in 1962 and had a capacity for 220 bathers an hour." [www:francisfrith.com] The pool was opened in an "oasis of colour" by J.H Collinge the Mayor of Widnes. Within 2 hours of the opening of the pool, Widnes swimming club was formed. The inaugural meeting at Kingsway school was attended by over 150 people and chaired by Alderman J Ludden.
The outline for the club was the idea of Mr T Miller, the baths superintendent. The old pool was much in demand by 4 groups, the Cubs, the Scouts, the Girl Guides and the Boys Brigade and they and various other organisations had requested exclusive rights to use the pool. The new oil heating system was at that time the costly sum of seven shillings and sixpence per hour and it was thought that any single use group would be unable to maintain sufficient members to cover the costs. Following this discussion Mayor Collinge suggested the forming of Widnes Swimming Club and this was seconded by Councillor Illidge and passed unanimously.
The original committee of eight was Mr J C Buxton Chairman, Mr P Cox, Mrs B Simm, Mrs M Hill, Station Officer R Morrison (Widnes Fire Brigade), Miss A Hemers, and Miss R Allen, plus a representative of Widnes Police division. The first club session started on the 11th September 1961. Information courtesy of Widnes Library microfiche archives (Widnes Weekly News, 1961-1962) By June 10th 1974, only 12 years had elapsed, and it was discovered that chlorine laden air had severely coroded the underlyng supports, and the cost of repairing this structural decay was extremely high. The pool was closed to the public while decisons were made on whether to repair or replace the structure. The pool was officially closed to the public for a long period and by 1977 the old pool was completely demolished and Widnes Swimming club were left 'homeless'.
The new 25 metre pool built at Kingsway Leisure Centre cost £1.5 million and was one of the widest and most modern in the North West. Opening unofficially, 'on a low key basis' on August 23rd 1982 and officially, for swimming, on October 8th 1982 this pool became the home of Widnes Swimming club until 2002.
In 2002 the club members decided to re-designate Widnes Swimming Club as Halton Swimming Club as this better described the representative selection of the members and demonstrated the aspirations of the club. The club was renamed in June 2002 and officially sanctioned on 1st July 2002. Alongside this decision it was agreed that the club would seek to obtain funds to appoint a paid coaching position commensurate with the required expectations of the club, which are to maintain and advance competitive swimming within the Halton area.

Heating Technology The TRUETECH self-heating technology is a simple combination of powdered food grade iron and magnesium, salt, and water. When water is poured on the heater pad (HeaterMeals food heaters use salt water & MRE heaters use regular water) the Food Heater releases enough heat to warm-up a pre-cooked meal 100 degrees Fahrenheit in approximately 10 minutes. Spent heaters are biodegradable and easily disposed of, with no toxic materials. The patented TRUETECH self-heating technology was introduced for use as the Field Ration Heater (FRH) by the U.S. Armed Forces in 1990 to heat Meals, Ready-to-Eat (MREs) for soldiers in the field. Success lead to practical adaptations of the TRUETECH self-heating technology. In 1994, HeaterMeals Self-Heating, shelf-stable tray Entrees, HeaterMeals Plus Self-Heating Meal Kits (with shelf-stable tray entrees) in the year 2000. In 2006, we developed HeaterMeals 3 Self-Heating Meal Kits (with shelf-stable pouch entrees, and, in 2008, HeaterMeals EX Entrees, designed for Extended Storage of up to 5 years (utilizing advanced shelf-stable, packaging technology in pouches) were made available throughout the U.S. and world markets for use by the public for preparedness and outdoor activities, and for government agencies, businesses, and military units for training exercises, emergency preparedness, and business continuity planning. To heat HeaterMeals Self-Heating Entrees and HeaterMeals Plus lunch & dinner Meal kits in trays, simply pour the enclosed pouch of water into the food heater pouch to enjoy "A Hot Meal Anytime, Anyplace".
To heat HeaterMeals EX Self-Heating Entrees and HeaterMeals 3 Meal Kits in pouches, simply pour the enclosed pouch of water into the food heater pouch to enjoy "A Hot Meal Anytime, Anyplace". A serving tray is included in every HeaterMeals 3 and HeaterMeals EX for "heat and serve" convenience
The TRUETECH self-heating technology is used in the U.S. Armed Forces FRH MRE Heater, HeaterMeals, HeaterMeals Plus meal Kits, HeaterMeals 3 Meal Kits, HeaterMeals EX Entrees, designed for Extended Storage of up to 5 years, and La Briute Kosher Self-Heating meals.
Canning Technology For generations, the traditional canning method has been: Cook & seal your food; then dip the container in boiling water before storing. HeaterMeals are prepared in a similar method - Like Homestyle Canning, but provide...
Heating Technology
HeaterMeals Lunch & Dinner Tray Entrees have a shelf-life of up to 2 years. HeaterMeals Breakfasts & HeaterMeals Plus with snacks have a shelf-life of up to 1 year.HeaterMeals 3 Pouch Entrees with snacks have a shelf-life of up to 3 years.HeaterMeals EX Lunch & Dinner Pouch Entrees have a shelf-life of up to 5 years.
All HeaterMeals come with a "Please Use By" date stamped on each box.These are recommended consumption dates only - not "safety dates".
This stamped date is up to two years for HeaterMeals Entrees, up to one year for HeaterMeals Plus, and up to three years for HeaterMeals 3, noting the optimum time to eat your HeaterMeals after packaging. Similar to properly stored canned food, HeaterMeals entrees lose a bit of color after the recommended consumption date; but are still nutritious and safe to consume after the date.
The following chart provides guidelines on shelf-life for HeaterMeals Entrees in trays and HeaterMeals 3 Entrees in pouches, when stored under a variety of temperatures. It is sometimes impossible to determine the temperature under which food has been stored, so the longer shelf-life listed can be attainable if the food has been kept under controlled conditions for the entire time period noted.
Note: HeaterMeals Lunch & Dinner Entrees are packaged in 12 to 13 ounce retort trays. HeaterMeals Plus Lunch & Dinner Meal Kits also are 12 to 13 ounce retort entrees in trays.

That's right, the head and nothing but the head (well the face actually). Fathead Big Heads are printed on high density foam core and die cut around the face. They are meant to be held up and displayed with the kind of passion that would lead you to buy someone's head at ten times normal size. Which is not normal, but is very Fathead. Fathead Big Heads fully embrace the saying, "Get Your Head in the Game!"
What It's Made Of: A Fathead Big Head is printed on high density 3/16 inch foam core and die cut around the player's face. They are not wall graphics or self-adhesive.
Suggested Uses: Fathead Big Heads are designed so you can take them with you. Hold up a Fathead Big Head at the big game to psych out the opposing team! Make a Custom Big Head of your child and show your support at their sporting event! Fathead Big Heads are also perfect for birthday and office parties. However you choose to use them, they are meant to stand out in a crowd.
Applying Fathead decals that require the rub on transfer application requires patience and a strict observance of the installation steps. Unlike our standard peel and stick wall decals, they are not movable or reusable so it's very important to follow the instructions and do it right the first time. Instructions are included with the product, but if you'd like a preview of how to install one, or if you need to print a copy, please click on one of the buttons below:
