Somewhere in the midwest in the 1950's, Chad, a hip-swiveling, guitar-playing roustabout is being released from prison ("Jailhouse Rock"). The warden doesn't appreciate a guy like Chad ridin' into town, playin' his music and excitin' the local women. With a sneer, Chad rides off.
In a nearby dreary little town, Natalie, a young mechanic, is dreaming of love and adventure. She yearns for one true love to take her away, but she doesn't realize that her best friend Dennis has a secret crush on her. Sitting in Sylvia's, the local honky tonk, the whole town sings the blues ("Heartbreak Hotel"). Natalie's widowed father Jim enters and joins in, until they're interrupted by the roar of a motorcycle: it is Chad, riding into town ("Roustabout"). Chad is in need of a mechanic and he's introduced to Natalie, who is instantly smitten ("One Night With You") and promises to fix his bike.
Chad asks about any excitement in town, but he's told that excitement is outlawed under the Mayor's strict rules: no loud music, no indecent behavior. Chad, incensed, promises to breathe some life into this sad, little town and he touches a broken-down jukebox, and it immediately comes to life ("C'mon Everybody"). As Chad and Natalie go off to fix his bike, Mayor Matilda enters with Earl, the sheriff, and her son, Dean. Matilda scolds the citizens for dancing and singing, and then goes off to find the root of this newfound evil. As soon as she exits, Dean meets Lorraine, Sylvia's pretty African-American daughter, and the two share a nervous and flirtatious smile. Meanwhile, Natalie is working on Chad's motorcycle. She tells him of her dreams of the open road, and he tells her that she must follow her heart ("Follow That Dream").
After Chad exits, Natalie, in an attempt to look more girly, puts on the only dress she owns—a tattered old one she uses to clean car engines. Dennis runs into Natalie and he is about to tell her how he feels for her, when Chad enters and interrupts. Ignoring Natalie, Chad asks Dennis to become his sidekick and the overjoyed Dennis accepts. Suddenly, the beautiful and glamorous Sandra appears, and Chad is struck down with a case of hardcore love ("One Night With You"—reprise). Sandra is the owner of the local museum, and she bemoans the lack of culture in this depressing little town. Chad tries to smooth-talk her, but she resists ("Teddy Bear/Hound Dog").
Later that day, at Sylvia's Honky Tonk, Jim and Sylvia speak about the strange, lascivious behavior that seems to have befallen the town since Chad's arrival. Natalie enters in her greasy dress, and Lorraine has her change into one of her dresses—it is clean and cute and Natalie looks lovely. She rushes off in pursuit of Chad. Both Sylvia and Jim agree that at a certain point in life, it's better to be alone, when Sandra enters and Jim instantly falls for her ("One Night With You"—reprise). Too nervous to speak to such a vision of beauty, he rushes out.
Dean enters to tell Lorraine that he thinks she's beautiful. Lorraine, thrilled, begins to teach him to dance ("That's All Right"). Sylvia interrupts and insists that it's NOT all right for them to be together, and Dean rushes out. Dean meets Matilda at the bus stop, and she tells him that she's sending him back to military school on the next bus. Lorraine enters, and Dean tells her the terrible news—they're about to be separated. Hopelessly in love, Dean and Lorraine decide to run off together ("It's Now Or Never").
Both Jim and Chad follow Sandra, but she will have nothing to do with either of them. Dennis meets Natalie on the street and shows off his new hunting cap, which makes him feel like "one of the guys." Natalie has a sudden inspiration and she grabs Dennis' hunting cap. Alone in the garage, she dresses like a leather-jacketed male roustabout ("Love Me Tender").
As Chad bemoans Sandra's lack of attraction to him, Dennis comes up with an idea. He volunteers to take her a Shakespearean sonnet. Desperate, Chad agrees. But before Dennis leaves, a leather-jacked roustabout rides into town ("Blue Suede Shoes"). It is Natalie, dressed as a fellah named Ed. Chad is excited by Ed's coolness and manliness and he asks Ed to be his new sidekick. Heartbroken, Dennis exits. Chad instructs Ed that his first job as his new sidekick is to give the sonnet to Miss Sandra. Jim enters, and Ed grabs the sonnet and rushes off.
Jim tells Chad that he's in love with a woman who doesn't love him back. Chad looks over the slovenly Jim, and tells him that in order to win a girl, Jim must dress and act more like Chad. Chad gives Jim a much-needed lesson in coolness ("Don't Be Cruel"). Ed arrives at the museum and gives Sandra the sonnet. Sandra is so moved by the sonnet that she finds herself drawn to this strange-looking young man ("One Night With You"—reprise). Ed tries to leave, but Sandra is intent on seducing him ("Let Yourself Go").
As the sun goes down, Mayor Matilda is cracking down on the perceived immoral behavior that is now running rampant through the town. She comes upon a necking couple, and she's stunned to see that it's her precious Dean kissing Lorraine. Dean, for the first time, disobeys his mother and shows her that he can now dance. He and Lorraine run off into the night. Matilda promises to throw Chad in jail for what he has done, and she and Sheriff Earl drive after Dean. Ed tells Chad that in order to avoid jail, he should hide in the abandoned fairgrounds just outside of town. Chad runs off, and Ed runs off after him. Jim, now dressed like Chad, enters and asks Sylvia if she's seen Sandra. Sylvia tells Jim that he's crazy to fall for a woman like that, and Jim admonishes Sylvia for having grown cold and bitter. Jim gives Sylvia a very surprising kiss, and a stunned Sylvia suddenly falls for him. Soon, everyone in town find themselves escaping to the fairgrounds, searching for someone to love ("Can't Help Falling In Love").
In the midst of the abandoned fairgrounds, the citizens of the town are restless and randy ("All Shook Up"). Dennis comes upon Natalie, who's still dressed as Ed, and Dennis reveals that he's upset about the way Chad treats her ("It Hurts Me"). Natalie insists that Chad is the only guy for her.
In an attempt to win Chad, Natalie gets an idea—she convinces Chad to teach her (i.e. Ed) how to seduce a woman ("A Little Less Conversation") but in the process, Ed winds up kissing Chad. Chad is stunned and Ed runs off as Jim enters. Chad reaffirms his machismo ("Power Of My Love") when Jim and Chad suddenly realize they are both in love with the same woman. Sandra enters, lustfully looking for Ed. Jim confesses his love for Sandra, but she doesn't even remember meeting him. As the heartbroken Jim slinks off, Ed enters, and he insists that Sandra leave them alone. Sandra, still hot for Ed, relents and promises to find him later. Left alone, Chad is about to hit Ed, but he realizes that he can't. Ed gives Chad some "alone time", and Chad realizes that he has feelings for his new sidekick ("I Don't Want To").
In another part of the fairgrounds, Mayor Matilda enters, followed, as always, by the silent Sheriff Earl, and she vows to bring the roustabout down ("Devil In Disguise").
A heartbroken Jim wanders about and runs into Sylvia, who is wearing her best Sunday dress. He wonders what she's doing out there this time of night, and she confesses her newfound feelings for him ("There's Always Me"). Jim can't handle this revelation, and he rushes off.
In another part of the grounds, Dean and Lorraine plan to catch the morning train out of town, but Chad convinces them to stay and fight for their love ("If I Can Dream").
In the center of the fairgrounds, Matilda gathers the townspeople together to form a pious posse to both find her son and arrest Chad. But Chad enters, as does Dean and Lorraine—and the final confrontation begins…
Will true love prevail? ("Fools Fall In Love") Will the power of music win the day? Will this small town in the Midwest survive getting all shook up? These questions and more are answered as the characters come together for the finale ("Burning Love").

THE URBAN ERMA: AIN'T MISBEHAVIN'
My seventh grade teacher Mr. B got a message that he had to go down to The Office right away. What was so important it couldn't wait until the end of the school day, which was less than an hour away? I never found out. But I think we all know leaving a classroom of 28 12-year olds on their honor has a very predictable outcome.
►LISTEN TO THE COMPANION BLOGCAST
The kids who were going to be good were. The ones who were going to show out did. Mr. B's shadow had barely cleared the door frame before The Resident Bad Boys were up out of their chairs, intoxicated with the freedom of moving without permission. They strutted around, talked loud, and acted like idiots. All in all, it was kid stuff. No furniture was heaved through windows. No fires were set. No one ran with scissors. The Bad Boys didn't even have the temerity to disturb anything on Mr. B's unguarded desk. I guess even they knew this would have been beyond the pale.
So, with The Bad Boys running amok and The Good Kids yelling at them to sit down and be quiet I'm sure Mr. B could hear us all the way in the office. When he walked back into the classroom he was angry. But worse than his anger was the look of disappointment on his face that seemed to say, "I trusted you guys and you blew it."
Not all of us, my eyes pleaded back. You know that don't you, Mr. B? But apparently he didn't. He punished the entire class by making us stay after school and write 500 times: "I will not misbehave in class." What! We Good Kids were aghast. "But we didn't do anything!" we protested. But Mr. B was unmoved. And now I was angry. What exactly was the point of being good if you were going to be punished for something you didn't do?
When the end-of-the-school-day bell rang I wanted to leave. My Mom was expecting my home straight away. But that's one of the conundrums of being a kid. When two authority figures in your life each want you to do something different, who do you listen to? The one standing in front of you. But I really didn't want to. Mr. B was usually a tough but fair teacher but I felt like he'd gotten this one way wrong.
I stayed but chose not to finish the assignment. I had gotten as far as number 40 and thought, "No. I'm not doing this." I put down my pen, folded my arms, and refused to write another word. The other students, even The Bad Boys, gave me disbelieving side glances. It was one thing to defy authority behind its back but face to face? That's madness yo.
The quasi-silence of 27 pens rapidly scratching across loose leaf paper was broken when my Mother unexpectedly strode in, angry and worried. The worry abated when she saw I was there and okay, but suddenly Mr. B began to look uncomfortable. You see my Mom had a bit of a reputation for being an involved parent. Curriculum reviewer, homework checker, parent-teacher conference attender, she was the Mama Bear you didn't want to cross.
"Mrs. Lord?"
"I came looking for my child. I'm glad she's here. Now why is she here?"
Mr. B explained. My Mom looked at me for confirmation. (I love that about her. She would always ask me for my side of things. "Just tell me the truth," she'd say "And I'll defend you to the gates of hell.")
She informed Mr. B that, being an educator herself, she understood his frustration but it was his job to teach and her job to raise. And for the amount of tuition she and my Dad were paying, busy work as punishment was unacceptable, and no her daughter would not be doing it. At her nod, I quietly gathered my things and followed her out, vindicated.
I'm sure this wasn't part of the day's lesson plan, but there were many real world lessons to be gleaned from this. I learned that life isn't fair, and that The Many often pay for the transgressions of The Few. I learned that even when you're right (most especially when you're right) sometimes you'll need someone to step in on your behalf and make it right. But outside of having a Mama Bear that almost never happens. So sometimes, right or wrong, you just gotta take a chance and get up out of your chair.

Today's post is brought to you by the one and only Noni. That's right, Big Jude, my mom is the guest blogger today. She didn't intend it, but when she sent me the following email, I knew it was perfect fodder for The Goon Room. So grab a drink and toast the 55+ crowd and their salute to the Iphone. Her quote about what kind of Iphone she has is my favorite – enjoy and thanks Nonester!
Yesterday I found the perfect place for a bar—next to the Apple store at Biltmore Mall.
Went to the Apple Store to have my Iphone checked out—you make the appointment on line (of Course) once you figure out how to move the page far enough down to let you see everything because of course you use the larger print on the computer than the under 30's. Then you book the appointment at the genius bar and you become hopeful—like maybe the Iphone can be fixed and no longer run down to dead battery every 4 hours, maybe it will finally connect to WIFI and that damn Siri will quit asking how she can help and when you tell her she just says—I'm busy now.
So off I go —a little early cause afterall they're doing me this great service and I arrive –the store is a large loud box—all hard surfaces so everything is alive and moving—the tables are lined with goodies—Iphones, Ipads, computers, TV's and there are no signs because cyber people know where to go because Siri told them….me unfortunately had that deer in the headlite look in my eye and I clutched my Iphone hoping somehow it would communicate with the mother ship and let her know I had arrived!
Everyone in the store that is a customer is an average age of 55+ (I'm being nice) and everyone working there is 19+ (again kindness). I wanted to fit in so I thought I would look at an extra plug for my Iphone—make nice kinda—a perky young thing pounced on me and offered help—What kind of Iphone do you have—well I was ready–"White"! She saw the little darling under my arm and snatched it up and announced —Just an Iphone! Ok, I'm learning…..then she asks if I would like to check myself out—frankly I just got here and was hoping to check myself in—so I decline and she says ok—do you want me to email your receipt or do you want a paper receipt—well I figured she didn't know my email so I say paper—only to find out they don't have paper—so I said skip the receipt—I'm really here for trouble shooting.
Three very nice young people checked their tiny little wireless computers and saw I was indeed a "scheduled guest" for the genius bar!! One of them drew the short straw and suggested I "take a load off"—now seriously at my age and backside don't ever use the word "load" in the same sentence with my name…..so I continued to stare into the vast array of things flashing, happening, and doing. Finally a nice young man who only spoke Japanese appeared and announced he was there to help. He asked me several questions with that thick Japanese broken English to which I politely replied "What???" and then he suggested a Reset was in store—so I handed over the Iphone and he proceeded to wipe it out as I watched and asked me to hold it for 5 minutes—I think this is similar to how the doctors let you visit with the sick family member before they pull the plug. He pulled the plug and handed it back and said—if that didn't fix it reschedule another appointment—so I walked out shell shocked realizing I had just lost all the phone numbers, my email, and my 3 new audio books and as I drove home in the quiet I realized a martini bar next to that store would have a steady flow of people (55+) all day long!!! Anyone up for investing?


Blue Chalcedony- Calm, balance, inner knowledge, and communication. When there is need for softness in the auric field, at times when stress mounts up and one's center begins to wobble, Blue Chalcedony can restore calm and balance. It aids one in being more positive, conscious and clear in one's communications. Blue Chalcedony is excellent for singers or others who may strain their vocal apparatus through exertion. It supports thoughtfulness of speech, helping one become more conscious of one's words and the tone of one's voice.
Smokey Quartz- Grounding, protective, practicality, organization, manifestation of ones dreams and inspirations. Smoky Quartz is one of the most grounding and clearing stones, just like a bundle of sage. It can help even the spaciest individuals find their center here on Earth. Smokey Quartz lends focus to student and patience to teacher. It can also help one avoid extravagance.
and I work step by step to achieve my goals.
Blue Chalcedony-Light greyish blue sparkle outline, mixed center dark peach.

The history of hatcheries in Oughterard goes back to 1852 when the first commercial salmon hatchery in the world was established there.
In 1852 brothers Edmund and Thomas Ashworth, Lancashire Quakers and members of a famous cotton manufacturing family, bought the Galway Fishery which was then in a rather parlous state. Catches were low and poaching rather than legitimate capture was the dominant method of fishing. The brothers were members of a group of wealthy gentlemen for whom angling was a favoured recreation. They immediately brought the enterprising spirit which characterised their business operations to bear on their new purchase. They determined to improve the Corrib fishery by artificial propagation and restocking. This had never been tried before with migratory salmon and the Ashworths were true innovators in this endeavour. For the actual operations they called on their fishing tackle maker, one Robert Ramsbottom of Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Since the original of that engraving was sent by Thomas to Frank Buckland as an illustration of the Oughterard operation it is probably a fair representation of how things actually looked. 24,000 salmon eggs were laid down in 1852 from which 20,000 hatched – not at all a bad outcome! The first Oughterard hatchery, simple though it was, was up and running and its success would soon inspire others throughout the world to commence what we now know as salmonid aquaculture.
The enterprising Ashworths knew the value of good PR: the year that the first alevins hatched – spring of 1853 – was the year of the Great Industrial Exhibition in Dublin and later in the year some of the artificially produced parr were consigned live to the great event. By happy coincidence, if not by design, the Commissioners of Public Works were exhibiting a model of the fish ladder which they had installed in the Galway Regulating Weir in 1851. It was a working model, as one would expect from practical Victorians, and it had a good supply of flowing water. When Ashworth's fish were placed in it they soon ascended the ladder to the delight and amazement of all. Here were two of the most significant advances in fishery management in the 19th century being exhibited to the general public for the first time ever and both were from Galway!
The whole thing was such a hit with everyone that the fish and model were invited to the Great Paris exhibition the following year, where they greatly impressed the Emperor and his retinue.
In1854 Ramsbottom published an account of his Oughterard labours as a small booklet. This is now exceptionally rare and I am happy to have a copy in my possession. The title page is shown figure 2, and what a lovely 8month old parr it shows. Note, too, the way the town's name is spelt.
Incidentally, Ramsbottom designed a fly for Connemara sea-trout called "Ramsbottom's Favourite". I wonder how many readers can still tie this? Salmon hatching soon moved from Oughterard to other locations in Galway. Since there were no buildings, there are no physical remains of the original hatchery. The second hatchery at Oughterard was a trout heathery which opened in 1900, but by that time there was little memory of the first great venture. Although it has left no physical remains, it left a legacy of salmon cultivation around the world.
Noel P. Wilkins, The story of the Oughterad hatchery and other hatcheries and salmon fisheries of Ireland one hundred years ago is given in detail in the author's book "Ponds, passes and parcs". Although now out of print, copies may be obtained through Kenny's bookshop, Galway.
P.S. Background information which may be of interest.
The discovery that the eggs of salmon could be artificially propagated has been generally attributed to the 14th century monk, Dom Pinchon. Following pioneer work by Jacobi in Germany (1763-64); Shaw, Scotland, (1833-39); and Remy & Gehin, France, (1842-45) the first authoritative paper on hatchery management was published by Ashworth E. and Ashworth T. Oughterard, Ireland (1853) "A Treatise on the Propagation of Salmon and other Fish". The earliest authoritative work on hatchery management advanced artificial propagation from the production of salmon ova to the smolt (stage at which juvenile salmon migrate to sea). One copy of this rare historically significant document is diligently cared for in the National Library. Inquiries to international libraries such as the British Library have failed to locate further copies to date.
Note: The opening of communication with Lough Mask, by which salmon can ascend to its many valuable spawning tributaries, must produce valuable results. The Chapter Fishery at Galway has been purchased by Messrs Ashworth, of Stockport who have commenced protection vigorously, and have had a person employed for the last winter in the artificial management of the ova, the results of which are watched with great interest.
The Ballinrobe Chronicle of March 21st 1891 carried a report in relation to the setting up of a Limited Company for the purpose of acquiring the fishing rights of lakes and rivers in Connemara and elsewhere in the West of Ireland to take steps for improvement of the fishing lakes and rivers where considered necessary and to secure for its members and others special advantages and conveniences.
The Company was being set up by Mr Robert Jasper Martin of Ross House and Mr. Henry Hodgson of Currarevagh. Unnamed members in the Company included one from Belfast, one from Leeds and two from London.
The Solicitors were to be Blake and Kenny, Galway and the bankers, Provincial Bank, Galway.
It was Company's intention to stock Lough Corrib with white trout.
Does anyone know if this Company came into existence?

The above photos are artists renditions presented to NASA in 1975 by Stanford Univeristy of the Stanford Torus. The torus concept was created for the purpose of introducing future space colonies that would exist in the livable areas, or Lagrange points, surrounding Earth. The torus or donut shaped ring, would be 1.8 km in diameter for a human habitat that would rotate once per minute to provide between 1.0g of artificial gravity on the inside of the torus through centrifugal force. The torus would also provide agricultural support as well as housing for up to 10,000 people. This was 1975, while this may seem as a short time ago, to me it seems like a sort of anomaly of thought in recent history. During that time ideas like the torus that aimed to provide a framework for the not so distant future were becoming widely accepted in mainstream academic circles and NASA personally petitioned artists to create the images you see above. So my question is … what happened? It's not difficult to imagine an average person seeing these images in the late 70's and thinking to themselves how fantastical the whole idea is, then fast forwarding to today's average person and realizing that we haven't come a very long way. The idea still seems not necessarily within arms reach. I assume priorities at NASA changed and for whatever reason projects that might have lead to this type of advancement were pushed aside and forgotten. But not for a lack of resources. The United States Military seems to have channeled NASA's fervor for advancement in recent year but this likely wasn't on NASA's own accord. The reality is priorities have changed. NASA's newest satellites have been falling out of the sky, literally. Therefore ideas like the Torus will never come to be. Blogs like Paleofuture have tapped into this non-existent future by chronicling past predictions about futuristic technology dating back to the 1890's. Most of these predictions did come true in one sense or another but some are as far-fetched as the torus in the video below.

Prince Louis's Official Christening Pictures Capture the Family 'Joy'
Kensington Palace have released the official photographs from Prince Louis's christening capturing the family 'joy'.
Via instagram.com/kensingtonroyal
The four images capturing sweet family moments were taken by celebrity photographer Matt Holyoak, who also captured the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on their 70th wedding anniversary last year, following the baptism in The Chapel Royal at St James's Palace.
The group shot was taken in the Morning Room of Clarence House and features beaming parents Prince William and Kate Middleton with all their Cambridge children as well as Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Charles, Carole and Michael Middleton, Pippa and James Matthews and James Middleton.
A smaller group shot is the second official royal family photograph that Meghan Markle has been part of since her wedding to Prince Harry, with Prince George grinning into the camera. The Cambridge family photograph is the first official image of them as a unit of five with Kate looking adoringly and Prince Louis.
The portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge cradling her newborn son captures the joyful moment and was taken in the gardens of Clarence House. In a statement, Holyoak said:
"Everyone was so relaxed and in such good spirits, it was an absolute pleasure. I only hope I have captured some of that joy in my photographs."

Shizusan Shophouse and Bar has been a favorite since its launch. The food has been receiving great reviews with their sushi's and other dishes. To add different flavors and offer new dishes to its customers, Shizusan has come up with The Travelling Bao Festival for the month of February.
A great mix of veg and non-veg bao's are on offer. While I tried the non-veg bao's, I will write about the same. Out of 5, I tried 4 as the 5th one was pork. My favourite was Smoked Duck Bao with smoked five-spiced duck, green apple and spicy mayo. If you are looking for a mix of tangy, spicy and smoky then this is the bao for you.
The next one which you should try is Korean Pulled Chicken Bulgogi which has spicy cucumber and kimchi slaw. For a spicy taste then this pulled chicken bao is for you.
Korean Sweet Chilli Chicken Bao with honey-glazed chilli chicken with kimchi and mayo is for those looking for sweet and spicy taste.
The last one is Teriyaki Glazed Tenderloin which is a steamed bun with teriyaki tenderloin, pickled vegetables and pan-fried with sesame. As I am more fond of bao's than buns, these non mayo buns did not impress me much.
If you are looking for veg bao's then Five-Spiced Tofu or Filipino veggie steamer could be your pick. Those who enjoy buns, Tofu and Hirata Buns or Bun with wild mushroom or Cantonese steamed custard bun could be savored. I also tried their tea - Mogo mogo and the mix of green sencha tea, banana, mango, passion flower leaves, melon sunflower and guava was so soothing to the throat and very aromatic too.
Each portion of bao is served with 2 pieces and it can easily fill one person completely. While the veg bao's are priced at Rs. 275, non-veg bao's are priced at Rs. 295 excluding taxes. Enjoy these bao's as they will be served at Shizusan during the month of February.


The Stirred N' Shaken team absolutely killed it at our wedding! The custom cocktails they did for the event were a huge hit and we are still getting compliments on them several months later. They were a pleasure to work with in the planning process and also incredibly helpful - would absolutely recommend them for your next event!
We loved having Stirred N' Shaken at our wedding! Stew and Jake were super communicative during the planning process and helping us figure out what kind of drinks we wanted to offer and the volumes we should think about purchasing. Their experience and advice really came in handy when we were determining our bar menu. Also, my husband and I were coming in from out of state and ordered most of our wine shipments online. Stew and Jake were extremely helpful and offered to let us ship it to them and even were able to bring it to the venue for us, they went above and beyond. They were fun and talkative with all of our guests while still staying professional and we received lots of compliments after the wedding about how great the bar/bartenders were. I felt in great hands right from the beginning with Stirred N' Shaken and would highly recommended them to bartender any wedding!
Jake and Stew bartended our wedding at Dancing Pines this summer, and I honestly can't say enough nice things about them- as people and as a business! They were so responsive and helpful leading up to the event. Our bar was BYOB and they provided us with a sample buying list for our number of guests, which was a huge help. When it came to the day of our wedding, they came early and prepped everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Throughout the event, they kept the party going with excellent service and conversation. My husband and I had so many people compliment us about how friendly the bartenders were and how delicious the cocktails were. They went above and beyond in every way. I would highly recommend them for any event!

WAGGA City Council has opened its impound car yard for buyers looking to pick up a cheap deal on a second-hand car. There are 31 vehicles up for sale, from small cars to station wagons and utes of all makes and models. The council's environment and city compliance manager, Mark Gardiner, said potential buyers have the next two weeks to put in an offer they cannot refuse. "All people need to do is make an offer on the vehicle they are interested in. If they have the highest offer at the end of the expression of interest period, then the car is theirs," he said. "It just comes down to what the buyer wants to pay." The expression of interest period is already open and buyers have until April 24 at 5pm to submit their price. Mr Gardiner said the council came to collect the cars after they were found abandoned on the roadside. He said the cars are unregistered, have clear titles and come with a bill of sale certificate. However, Mr Gardiner said the cars do not come with keys and successful bidders will need to arrange transport for the vehicle. He encouraged those potential buyers who are looking to register their vehicle to organise a mechanical check prior to the sale. "If you think you might be interested in one of the cars, check it out on our website, and then head down to the lot at one of the viewing times to see the car first hand," he said. There will be a viewing tomorrow at 2 Glenfield Road near the animal shelter from 3pm to 4pm. Mr Gardiner said the unsold vehicles will be donated to TAFE NSW Wagga for students to practice their panel beating and spray painting skills.

Q: How do I create the decoder part of the Autoencoder? I am trying to copy the layers from the Encoder to create the decoder but I'm getting "Index Error".
input_img =Input(25425,)

encoded1 = Dense(75,activation=tf.nn.relu)(input_img)

encoded = Dense(50,activation=tf.nn.relu)(encoded1)

decoded = Dense(25425, activation='sigmoid')(encoded)

autoencoder = Model(input_img, encoded1, decoded)

encoder = Model(input_img, encoded)

encoded_input = Input(shape=(50,))

decoder_layer1 = autoencoder.layers[1](encoded_input)

decoder_layer2 = autoencoder.layers[0](decoder_layer1)

decoder = Model(encoded_input, decoder_layer1, decoder_layer2)

autoencoder.compile(optimizer='adadelta', loss='binary_crossentropy')

autoencoder.fit(X, X,
            epochs=50,
            shuffle=True)

I expect the decoder to have the same layers ans the encoder just reversed but I'm not able to copy the layers over. I am getting this Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\dalto\Documents\geo4\train.py", line 36, in <module>
decoder_layer1 = autoencoder.layers[1](encoded_input)
IndexError: list index out of range

A: You have several mistakes in you code. See my comments in the working snippet:
# Random input for testing purposes
X = np.random.rand(10, 25425)

input_img =tf.keras.layers.Input(25425,)
encoded1 = tf.keras.layers.Dense(75,activation=tf.nn.relu)(input_img)
encoded2 = tf.keras.layers.Dense(50,activation=tf.nn.relu)(encoded1)
decoded = tf.keras.layers.Dense(25425, activation='sigmoid')(encoded2)
# The input of the autoencoder is the image (input_img), and the output is the decoder layer (decoded)
autoencoder = tf.keras.Model(input_img, decoded)

encoder = tf.keras.Model(input_img, encoded2)

encoded_input = tf.keras.layers.Input(shape=(50,))
# The decoded only consists of the last layer
decoder_layer = autoencoder.layers[-1](encoded_input)
# The input to the decoder is the vector of the encoder which will be fed (using encoded_input), the output is the last layer of the network (decoder_layer)
decoder = tf.keras.Model(encoded_input, decoder_layer)

autoencoder.compile(optimizer='adadelta', loss='binary_crossentropy')
autoencoder.fit(X, X, epochs=50, shuffle=True)

The appearance of a tiled wall will largely be determined by two factors – the appearance of the tiles themselves, and the grout used between the tiles. The grout colour should be chosen to complement the tiles design. And the tile / grout combination should suit the room décor.
Decide on the tile design first. There is a huge range of options, from solid to printed patterns, porcelain materials, ceramic or stone. The size of the tiles is a factor too. Combinations of different tiles can be used to create a mosaic picture or pattern.
Decide if you prefer the grout to blend in or stand out from the tiles. If you want it to blend in there are two general options. Either choose a grout colour that is similar to the tile colour, of simply use a neutral white / grey grout which will stay in the background.
If you prefer the grout to stand out from the tiles then go with a grout colour that contrasts with the tile. This tends to work better with neutral looking tiles or tiles with simple geometric patterns.
Strong grout colours will make the tile pattern stand out.
Light Coloured tiles with darker grout of the same colour.
Light tiles with a monochrome colour pattern, and grout with the same colour as that tile pattern.
Dark tiles with white grout.
Bright Multi-coloured tiles with white grout.
Lighter coloured grouts tend to shoe the dirt more than darker colours.
The grout will change colour as it dries – it tends to lighten.
The grout will have to be mixed evenly for the colour to be consistent.
Sealers may alter the colour of the grout. Some sealers will darken the grout slightly. This effect may be temporary, with the sealer becoming clear as it dries.


Windows 10 will officially launch in the middle of next year, but you'll have a chance to try it out before that via a new Windows Insider program, launching Wednesday. The platform's most vocal fans will have a chance to download the technical preview before it launches next year.
Microsoft's Joe Belfiore showing off Windows 10's reborn, revamped Start Menu.
Microsoft executives unveiled the new OS at a small press event in San Francisco, where the company tried to position the Windows 10 OS as a "natural step forward" for both Windows and Windows Phone, which will also be renamed Windows 10.
Windows 10 will be designed for the enterprise, Terry Myerson executive vice president of Microsoft's OS group, said. It will have a "familiar" interface, whether it be for Windows 7 or Windows 8. "They will find all the tools they're used to finding, with all the apps and tools they're used to today," he said.
Windows 10 will be compatible with all the familiar management systems, including mobile device management. MDM tools will manage not just mobile devices, but PCs, phones, tablets, and even embedded devices inpart of the Internet of Things, Myerson said. Enterprise customers will be able to manage their own app stores, so that ther employees get the right apps for them. As Windows 8 did, data security will be a priority, he said.
"Windows 10 will be our greatest enterprise platform ever," Myerson said.
Windows 10's 'Task View' includes multiple desktops, a feature long desired by power users.
Joe Belfiore, who runs part of the OS team focused on the PC experience, showed off the new OS, which he called a "very early build." Yes, the new build has the Stat menu, combining the icon-driven menu from Windows 7, plus the added Live Tiles to the right.
Belfiore used the analogy of a Tesla to describe how Windows 7 users would feel when they upgraded—something that Microsoft desperately wants them to do: a supercharged OS, but one that will feel familiar.
One of the things that Microsoft wants to ensure is that Windows 10 is personalized results, including search results, Belfiore said.
Windows 8 had a universal app platform, with a common Windows Store that handle updates independently. Belfiore said that Microsoft wanted all those Windows 7 uses to get all the benefits of Windows 8 apps. Apps will be shown in the Live Tiles, with no real indication whether they are "classic" apps or modern, Windows 8 apps. Apps can be "snapped," like Windows 8. Users will also not have to leave the Windows desktop to use modern apps, as expected.
Snap multitasking in Windows 10.
Multitasking will also be a priority, with a stated goal being able to "empower" novice users, Belfiore said. On the taskbar there will be a "task view" where users can switch back and forth between different environments—whether it be 32-bit Windows 7 apps or modern apps. And yes, they will include virtual desktops, with the ability to switch back and forth between virtual environments. A "snap assist" feature will allow users to select similar windows to snap alongside other apps. And up to four apps or windows can be snapped to the four corners of the desktop, Belfiore said.
Even more advanced uses will be able to take advantage of new keyboard shortcuts, with the ability to ALT-TAB between desktops. "It's a nice forward enhancement to make those people more productive," Belfiore said.
Belfiore wrapped up by talking about touch: "We're not giving up on touch," he said. But he did say that that massive numbers of users were familiar with the touchless Windows 7 interface, while supporting those who have jumped to Windows 8.
So that means that the Charms experience will be revamped. When you swipe right on Windows 10, the Charms bar is still there. But Belfiore said that the Charms experience would change. When people swipe in from the left, Windows 10, you'll get a task view. "I'm using touch in a way that accelerates my use of a PC," Belfiore said.
The Start screen gets an overhaul in Windows 10 and will only appear when you're actively using a touchscreen.
Microsoft is also working on a revamped UI that isn't is in Windows 10, yet. For two-in-on devices, a "Continuum" mode will adjust the UI depending on whether or not the mouse and keyboard is present. When a keyboard is disconnected, the Windows 8-style Start menu appears and a back button is available so that users can easily back out to a prior command. Menus grow larger. Bu when a mouse and keyboard is connected, the desktop mode reappears, Windows apps return to desktop windows, and the Start page disappears.
Now, Microsoft needs to take the next step: pitching enterprise customers, Myerson said. And that's critical for Windows' future, analysts said. Expect more details on the consumer flavors of Windows 10 early next year, more application details at BUILD, and then a launch of Windows 10 near the middle of next year.
Starting Wednesday, Microsoft will launch a Windows Insider program, distributing the technical preview of Windows 10, Myerson said. Through Window Insiders we're inviting our more vocal Windows fans" to help refine the Windows experience, executives said. Users wil be able to sign up at preview.windows.com, he said, where they will be able to hold private discussions with Windows engineers and give feedback.

iHeartMedia's Country Cares radiothon raises $5.6 million-plus for St. Jude
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 15, 2017
The iHeartMedia Country Cares for St. Jude Kids national radiothon raised more than $5.6 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The record-setting event encouraged radio listeners to pledge $20 per month to become "Partners In Hope" with St. Jude. The Dec. 7 – 8 event was supported by 26 iHeartMedia stations across the country, from Boston to San Antonio to Las Vegas, in conjunction with The Bobby Bones Show — iHeartMedia's nationally syndicated award-winning country morning show.
Also, more than 80 country artists supported the St. Jude "This Shirt Saves Lives" campaign in addition to the radiothon. The social media push and on-air promotion through Country Cares radio partner stations attracted thousands of new Partners in Hope and sustaining donors in support of the life-saving research and treatment being done at St. Jude. Artist and donor social posts can be viewed at www.thisshirtsaveslives.org.
"We greatly appreciate our partnership with iHeartMedia, and are truly inspired by the dedication of its on-air personalities and listeners for passionately supporting the critical cause of finding cures for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases," said Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude. "It's remarkable to see how deeply the entire country music industry has embraced the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."
St. Jude and iHeartMedia's partnership of 30-plus years has generated more than $90 million in the past decade to support the hospital. Patients and their families never receive a bill from St. Jude for the cost of treatment, travel, housing or food.
"We have a rich history of supporting St. Jude – which treats so many children living in the communities in which we serve – and we look forward to many more successful fundraising events in 2018," said Rod Phillips, iHeartMedia SVP of Programming.


I recently posted my "How I got my agent" story, with all the gritty details. Soon after it went live, I got a few messages from lovely writers, and one of them asked if I was planning to do a post on where I found my CPs. I thought it was a brilliant idea, so here it is.
CPs, particularly great ones, are very hard to come by. There are lots of writers out there looking to connect, but the trouble comes in actually finding them. Then, once found, you have to see if you're going to be the right FIT! For me, the search took many years—about seven in fact, with A LOT of failed attempts along the way—but, I've been very fortunate to find some truly wonderful writers. Here's where I found them.
I discovered my first ever CP years ago when I had no clue how one actually went about finding such writers. So, I resorted to trusty old Google. This pointed me in the direction of Ladies Who Critique—which incidentally is not just ladies. I, uh, stalked a few profiles until I found someone who seemed like my kind of person. *Note, I did get propositioned by someone on this site who clearly did not understand what critique means, so watch out for those oddballs.
It took several more years before I found my next true CP, again with lots of failed attempts thrown into the mix. It wasn't until late 2016 that I stumbled upon author Wendy Heard's CP Match-up programme. Wendy's matches are awesome! She matches writers based on category and genre, number of years spent writing, and a couple other preferences. Several months later, Wendy matched me up with another amazing writer, and we ended up in Pitch Wars together. I highly recommend signing up for her matches.
Early 2017, I found two CPs around the same time during a Twitter contest. These kinds of matches may not be as easy if, like me, you're an extremely shy introvert. But they are so, so worthwhile. Following hashtags and connecting with other writers in those contest "trenches" has become a very popular way to find CPs. I found mine during the #RevPit contest, but there are loads of general hashtags.
#CPMatch – hey, look, a tag especially for those writers looking to find CPs!
#ontheporch – this was created by two authors, and it's aimed at those who are figuratively "on the porch", either waiting for a new contest, or queries, or just generally hanging out with other writers.
#MockPit – I've seen this one around lately, and it's there for people to post their pitches for Twitter contests so other writers can offer feedback, but it's NOT an actual contest.
#QuerySwap – created by The Manuscript Shredder, this is a bi-annual event where writers help each other out with their queries.
#amwriting // #amquerying // #amrevising – these are common enough in the writer community.
#PitchWars // #PitMad // #DVpit // #QueryKombat // #SunvsSnow – contests like these are gems for finding CPs, so connect with writers while you're entering. Don't be shy—writers generally don't bite unless provoked.
Thanks to Pitch Wars, I've met a few more amazing writers that are morphing into CPs even as I type this. I know that only helps you if you make into Pitch Wars, but there are several of the mentees who found each other in the "trenches" before we were all picked. That said, if you do make it into Pitch Wars, connect with your fellow mentees!
WriteOnCon (An Online Kidlit Conference).
SCBWI (The Society of Children's Book Writers) had a monthly email group where writers could join and connect.
MWA (Mystery Writers of America).
RWA (Romance Writers of America). They do match-ups, but you can also find CPs in the forums and during contest. I also have it on very good authority that if you send thank you notes, sometimes co-ordinators/judges will offer their services.
Local writing classes and conferences—there are lots more than the specific ones mentioned above.
Like Wendy Heard, author Maggie Stiefvater does CP matches, but I believe it's a little different. She'll usually do a blog post, and writers find their perfect matches through there.
Goodreads—there are threads in the discussions/forums where you can find matches.
Libraries! One mentee works at a library and formed a critique group.
Twitter. Twitter. Twitter… as stated above, this really is the popular option!
Remember, every writer is different and looking for a different kind of critique / feedback. When you first connect with a potential new CP, make sure to be very clear about what exactly you are both looking for.


During the hot and humid summer, your air conditioner is your lifeline. Keeping it operating optimally at home is important for a number of reasons. It allows you to save money on your home energy bills and save time with fewer, if any, system breakdowns.
Constant AC system breakdowns may mean you have to replace the old with a new one. Frequent AC repairs may cause you to spend more money than actually purchasing a new air conditioner. So stop the hassle of repeated repairs and opt for air conditioner replacement in Greater Boston, MA instead.
Any home cooling system that is more than 10 years old should be replaced. It may function, but it is functioning inefficiently and approaching the end of its useful life. AC replacement can help you save 10-20 percent on your electric bill. Your new AC system promises efficiency in energy consumption and provides efficient cooling time and temperature.
Your AC system will cost you more money if it does not operate optimally. It is always good practice to have your AC checked or inspected by your local AC service company in Greater Boston, MA. This way you will know when it needs to be replaced, and you can address it rather than going through the hassle and expense of needless repairs.
The weather in Greater Boston can get very uncomfortable during summer time. When that happens, you want nothing but a cooling system that operates properly. To avoid unplanned shut downs, have your air conditioner replaced. This will keep you from incurring excessive repair costs.
By calling the experts at Greater Boston Plumbing and Heating, you can conveniently deal with either repairing or replacing your home air conditioner.


Toddler shoes might not be necessary all the time, but it is certainly important to have a pair or two on hand for formal events, rough weather, and playing outside when the terrain is not well suited to sensitive feet. On those occasions, it is important to have a pair of toddler shoes that will give some protection against slipping and injury, won't impede the development of the baby's feet, and will pair well with multiple outfits so that the shoe can be used as much as possible before it is outgrown. As every caregiver knows, babies grow out of their shoes almost as fast as new pairs are purchased.
A favorite brand of parents, Ikiki Squeaky Adjustable shoes come in fun characters for boys and girls, which will have your little ones wanting to wear these around all the time. They have a squeaker which helps make learning to walk fun, and it's adjustable to turn on and off with the flip of a switch. And, as a bonus for parents and kids, each sole is colored differently, so you can put the right shoe on the right foot!
When just learning to walk, it helps to have a shoe that encourages wear and walking. With the Ikiki Squeaky Adjustable, you get all sorts of fun characters your child will fall in love with and the squeaker which makes practicing steps fun. An easy Velcro strap makes these a cinch to get on and off and encourages your child to learn to put their own shoes on.
Soft grippy soles help stabilize little ones taking their first steps, and soles come in two different colors, so you won't mix up the left and right shoes. Soft breathable fabric allows for a roomy fit, especially for wider little feet. There is also a high top version, which provides ankle support without being restrictive. A wide open mouth and rounded toe box making them an easy fit for any child's foot!
The Ikiki Squeaky Adjustable hits the top of our list for good reason! As a moderately priced shoe, it's packed full of encouragement for children just learning to walk. Cute characters and squeaker will have your child falling in love with these shoes. Easy for little ones with wider feet, they are available in wide widths but have ample room with a round toe box and roomy fit.
Sometimes, all you need to make your life easier is a pair of footwear for your child that you'll be able to keep clean, while it offers them the necessary comfort features. The Crocs Classic clog is one such pair of shoes - made with 100% synthetic materials, it's an amazing option for summer days, visits to the beach or pool, playing around in the garden or backyard, or even for casual outings. It's easy to put on and off, and most importantly, can be simply hosed off once it gets too dirty. The fact that it's buoyant is just an added plus.
The Classic clog comes in a huge variety of color options, from sensible black, navy and gray, to colorful options such as Lemon, Grass Green and even Lavender. This means you can choose with your kid to ensure they enjoy wearing these clogs. You'll also find that the heel strap can add a level of fit security, but you can also just put it forward for an easy on and off shoe.
This shoe is very easy to clean with a bit of soap and water. It dries easily, with drainage holes, and is odor resistant so it won't get stinky even with excessive wear. The rubber outsole offers great traction on all surfaces (even wet ones), and they come in a roomy fit which is generous both in length and width. In terms of cost, the Classic is really affordable, so you won't have to worry about high costs. Plus, it's durable and fuss-free, which puts it high up on our list of favorites.
One of the great things about New Balance is that their footwear options are most often available not only for adults, but for infants, toddlers, little and big kids as well. Thus, your little ones can benefit from the same high quality, well-made shoes you are likely to wear as well. The 990v4 is an iconic pair of running shoes that are so comfortable and functional, that they've become one of the highest rated sneakers of all time. Made with leather and mesh, the're perfect for active children, and offer a number of advanced features you'll definitely appreciate.
First and foremost, the reason why this model is on our list is the fact that it comes in three width options, which is very difficult to find in children's footwear. You can choose between standard, wide and extra wide in order to provide the best comfort for your child. In terms of functionality, this model also comes in both lace and hook and loop versions, so you can choose between easy on and off, or maximized security, based on your child's behaviour.
In terms of tech, you'll appreciate the blown rubber outsole on these sneakers, seeing that it provides stellar traction on all surfaces. You'll also love the padded tongue and collar, as well as the midsole which offers some shock absorption, without going overboard with it. As for the associated cost, these rank slightly higher than average, which may be a problem for some parents. Nonetheless, if your child has an extra wide foot and requires shoes that allow for custom orthotics, these are an excellent option.
With summertime in full swing, we've added te Pediped Sahara Flex as a water shoe option for children with wider feet. Open sandal construction does give ample ventilation, and a quick-drying textile upper makes them perfect for pools or the occasional creek walk. They come in a number of widths and sizes, so rest assured you'll find the perfect fit for your little one.
Even though it's open sandal style does leave room for pebbles to get in the shoe, a heel and toe bumper protects the feet where they're most likely to need it. A grippy sole helps give them traction on slippery surfaces, which makes them perfect for pool time fun. Sturdy textile uppers utilize a Velcro closure for easy on and off, and quality stitching helps maintain the structure that surrounds the foot.
Not only is the Sahara water safe, it's a washable shoe which makes maintaining and extending the life of the shoe easy. It's also recommended by pediatricians, as the construction of the shoe helps little ones see the ground as they learn to walk and take steps. The design helps them to grasp with their toes when walking and mimics closely to what barefoot walking is like. Perfect for summer vacations and exploring the beach!
Depending on the width, size, and color option you choose, this shoe can run from moderately priced to slightly more expensive than those on our list. But, for a shoe recommended by pediatricians, which allows ample ventilation and allows them to wear in the water, it's a worthy investment to consider. It's a great option for a summer shoe to take on vacation, or just lounge by the pool and play in the water.
Saucony might not be one of the best-known brands, but their Jazz toddler shoe is one of the most rated toddler shoes on Amazon. The shoe is sold in a range of prices rivaled only by the range of size and colors in which the Jazz can be purchased. With a suede upper and a non-marking rubber sole, they are a comfortable and breathable option for those seeking style and durability.
With a hook and loop closure system, these shoes allow the child wearing them to easily get them on or off by themselves or to adjust the over-foot strap until the shoes are the most comfortable.
The Jazz comes in more than a dozen color options, all of them stylish and sure to set off even the cutest outfit. More than that, the shoes come in color options that will not easily show a lot of staining or wear, an important trait in shoes that will see a lot of time at the playground or park. These shoes are durable and stylish, making them worth a moderate investment. The price point might still be high for some, particularly with the more expensive pairs.
The Livie & Luca Pio Pio is a Mary Jane style shoe which has a roomy feel for wider little feet, and the stability required for walkers or cruisers alike. An easy Velcro closure help make these easy on and off for accessibility, and it's packed full of support for growing feet. Adorably designed, they highlight a bird emblem and faux button to give more style to the shoe, making it great for dressing up!
Within the Pio Pio lies extra cushioning at the heel to help absorb impact, and support children walking or learning to run. It also serves to protect growing bones by giving a needed cushion when the heel strikes surfaces. Lined with a moisture-absorbent leather, your little one's feet will stay dry and odor free. Add to this a rugged rubber sole for traction, and they'll be cruising in no time!
An easy hook and loop closure makes this easy for kids and parents to get on and off, and has a faux button design that gives a little flair to the shoe. A beautiful embroidered bird adorns the top of the toe, reflecting the namesake of the shoe as 'pio pio' translates to the sound of a bird chirping in Spanish. Soft suede exterior construction makes these soft and flexible on the foot and helps maintain breathability.
Averagely priced when compared to options on our list, the Livie & Luca Pio Pio is a stylish little shoe, with ample room for wider feet. Rounded toe box helps make these roomy for growth, and a sturdy sole helps give traction for new walkers. A great option to consider if you're in search of a dressier shoe for your little one!
Lastly on our list, See Kai Run makes another appearance with the Russell Sneaker. This sneaker reflects typical See Kai Run width, with roomy toe box for developing feet, and a rubber toe cap for extra protection. Easy accessibility is found in the double strap Velcro closure, and it comes in a number of fun color combinations that keep a clean sharp profile to the shoe.
The Russell Sneaker maintains a clean look with solid colored uppers and contrasting dual stripes, giving it almost a grown-up look to a child's shoe. Padded collar helps to prevent blistering or irritation around the ankle, and helps encourage walking. The dual Velcro closure makes them easy to get on and off, and gives an adjustable fit to your little one's foot.
Rounded toe box with the built-in rubber toe cap allows for your child's foot to grow and develop without restriction and helps protect them during the occasional trip when learning to walk. Herringbone pattern on the sole provides ample traction, and help make this sneaker wearable even in the rain. Uppers are constructed from a durable textile material, so they're easily washed or cleaned.
Averagely priced for those on our list, the See Kai Run Russell Sneaker is a sharp looking addition to your child's footwear. With a roomy toe box for wider developing feet and padded collar to cut down on ankle irritation, your child will play freely without pain or rubbing. If you're in search of a great sneaker style shoe, built to last longer than just a season, look no further!
Sperry is the originator of the boat shoe and knows how to make a comfortable, wider fitting shoe. This little Halyard isn't quite a boat shoe but it's just as comfy. Made with high-quality materials the shoe is breathable and easy for Mom and Dad or even your older toddler to manage with the Velcro straps. It also features a sneaker bottom for both cushion and flexibility.
We often don't think of our toddlers as needing a cushioned footbed. Their little feet are perfect and they never complain about sore feet. Right? Well, resistance to walking can be a sign that their little feet are sore and, to grow correctly, little feet need some padding and cushion to avoid impact just like we do. The memory foam footbed in this Sperry shoe will do the trick.
Sperry makes premium quality shoes and the canvas in this little shoe is an example of that. It is durable, breathable and comfortable on your little one's feet. Wider feet tend to sweat a little more so having a nice breathable upper will be welcome relief for small feet.
These shoes are the most expensive in our list but well worth the money (still reasonably low). You get a shoe that will fit your child's wider feet well, is breathable and comfortable and is flexible enough to move with your child. Little feet will grow without interference and will be well protected.
K-Swiss is an iconic fashion brand in many circles and their classic VN sneaker is one of the most easily identified styles that they sell. The brand has more to offer than just style, however. K-Swiss makes quality shoes that should hold up to the trips and spills of learning to walk.
This iconic shoe style has been around for decades and has yet to go out of fashion. Even after they start school, a child in K-Swiss will have an easy time looking fashionable on the playground. K-Swiss would not be as big a brand as it is if their products fell apart under normal wear and tear. They make their shoes to last and that is particularly important for toddler shoes that will see trips, falls, and spills at a higher rate than shoes for older kids or adults.
The VN sneaker can run for a pretty penny, even at its base price. It's worth the investment if the K-Swiss look is important but there are less expensive shoes produced with similar quality.
Keds is one of the most well-known brands for toddler clothes on the market today. They produce everything from rompers to full outfits to shoes and all of them have trademark whimsy and strong, quality construction. This makes them ideal for active new walkers, no matter how stylish they are dressed.
The material of a shoe's footbed can make or break the comfort level of the wearer. Keds ensure that their shoes are as comfortable as possible by including a memory foam footbed. This will give support to the little one's feet even after hours of running around.
Most of the shoes on this list have a range of style options, but the Daphne has some unique prints that are not found with other shoes. Rainbow leopard print reminiscent of Lisa Frank, metallic silver, glittering stars, and pastel shades makes up an adorable array of options to choose from.
Keds has a reputation for quality and that alone makes this shoe a good investment, even when they get towards the middle of the price range for this list. Some pairs are listed for mind-boggling prices, however, and those are best avoided.
Learning to walk is difficult and uncomfortable shoes would only make it harder. There are several features found in the shoes throughout this list that are designed to make a child's foot as comfortable as possible. Not only will this keep their feet happy as they learn to walk, but it will keep them playing longer. And if there is one constant among children, it is that they benefit greatly from as much active outdoor play as possible.
Memory Foam Insoles – Several shoes on our list feature memory foam insoles. These are especially ideal for children's shoes because the bottom of a child's foot is in near-constant development. A rigid insole would impact the foot's development and there is no guarantee that the impact would be a positive one. Memory foam insoles are soft and will change to fit the shape of the child's foot from day to day as they grow.
Breathable Materials – Anyone with an active schedule will attest to the misery that comes with shoes that don't breathe. Toddlers are not known for their tolerance of discomfort, making breathable materials ab absolute must for their shoes.
Toddlers fall. It's what they do and it's a natural part of learning to walk, run, meander, jump, roll, and spin. Your toddler is brave and courageous and out for all sorts of adventures but they shouldn't fall because of their shoes. All of the shoes on our list are designed with the safety of your child's feet and other body parts in mind.
Durable Construction – Children put their shoes through a lot of wear and tear. This may not seem like a safety concern on the surface, but it does not take much to send a new walker tumbling and a loose outsole or torn side wall can trip them up or throw them off balance. Purchasing durable shoes will help avoid this issue and keep little ones on their feet longer.
Reinforced Toes and Padded Ankles – Stubbed toes are inevitable and there's not much that can be done to avoid chafed ankles when someone is on their feet all day. But with reinforced toes and a padded ankle cuff, many of the shoes on this list help to minimize the discomfort and keep kids moving.
What grows faster than a baby? Jack's beanstalk, maybe but little else. Your toddler grows at an incredible rate that is only very slightly slower than he or she grow while they were an infant. Toddler shoes should have room to accommodate that growth for at least a few months at a time and hopefully several months. Here's something no-one told you before you had kids – their feet change shape as well. Narrow one minute, thick and chunky the next, wide the moment after. Toddler's feet morph in a way that would inspire science fiction writers and their shoes also need to keep up with that.
A Range of Sizes Available – Children grow fast and their feet seem to grow faster than the rest of them. The shoes on this list are sold in a range of sizes so that once a favorite shoe style or brand is found, it will be easy to order the next pair as it is needed. Ordering from the same company and in the same style is also an easy way to keep sizing consistent and avoid the shock of an ill-fitting shoe.
Sized for Wide Feet – Every shoe on this list either has a size available specifically for babies with wide feet or has been reviewed as running wider than expected so that their average size will fit wider feet.
Jumping in puddles, running through unforgiving mud and rubbing against harsh surfaces can ruin a brand new pair of footwear. Many people live very busy lives and having to take extra time out to carefully clean footgear can be really aggravating. When time is limited nobody wants to waste time scrubbing muddy footwear.
There are some things to consider when choosing an item that saves time. Since footgear created for wet environments is made from plastic or rubber it can usually be wiped clean or hosed down for quick washing. Exteriors that don't offer scuff resistance can be very daunting when cleaning. No matter how much you scrub scuffs may not come off and this can ruin the look of new items. This is when choosing scuff resistant items can save a lot of time.
Another thing to consider is that mesh and suede are more difficult to clean that full grain/top grain leather and synthetics, and are more likely to be appropriate for dry conditions than muddy and wet weather.
The interior can be another story altogether. Some products are complicated interiors that require extra care. If the item is lined with a removable bootie it could mean extra washing and wasted time. A removable insole can make items easier to clean, however. If an insole can be removed than typically the inside of the product can be hosed down or dunked in water to clean off extra mud easily.
The lining is important as well. The lining should be quick drying. This way if the item is submerged it will be available for use shortly after cleaning. Keeping this in mind will help keep busy people on schedule with their daily activities.
One more thing to check for before making a purchase is whether there are any special instructions related to the cleaning of the pair of shoes you've chosen. More and more manufacturers are making children's footwear that's machine washable, which is a great feature that will definitely save you a lot of time. Do note, however, that footwear should not be put in the dryer as this will compromise its structure and integrity. Always let footwear dry in an airy place, away from direct sources of heat and sunlight.
For parents, one of the most important aspects of purchasing footwear is going to be the cost. The last thing you probably are wanting to do is spend hundreds on a design for your child. Given that this buying guide is really all about this specific, high-cost brand, consumers should really anticipate shelling out a little more than they normally might.
Now, when we were creating this buying guide, we wanted to assess our products based on the relationship between the cost and the value. We knew that only the most valuable products should be featured on our list. You might be wondering, what is the cost and value relationship? To be honest, it's super simple and we will show you how it works.
We looked at all products on the market and tracked the prices for all of their products. We took an average of the highest and the lowest priced product – and even looked for a median price point.
What specific value does this shoe offer the child?
What specific value does this shoe offer the parent?
Based on this information, we can draw conclusions regarding the relationship between the cost and the value – and what products are priced fairly and what products are not.
Something to keep in mind is that certain well-known brands will often have higher associated costs with their products. If you're after a specific design, this may be OK, but for most everyday footwear, you don't need to invest too much. A good quality, durable pair of shoes will do just fine. And another thing to note is that small children don't need too much tech in their footwear. Excess shock absorption and support can even hinder healthy development, so it's best to choose sensibly, and not go overboard (unless advised by your child's doctor).
It's important when your little one is growing, that their footwear allow for room to grow. Always size your children's footwear with some room at the toe. Restrictive footwear can sometimes alter the proper development of the foot, and prevent muscles in the foot from fully supporting them.
Depending on what your little one is up to, you may select a sneaker made for walkers and runners who enjoy playtime outside. Select something with a more rugged sole to support them, but also something that's easily washed or cleaned.
Shopping for children's footwear can be difficult enough without having to worry about finding a model that will actually accommodate chubby, sensitive or flat feet. The models listed in this article have all been chosen because they are either designed for wider feet, or they come in a variety of size options that allow for parents to choose the best fit.
Seeing that infants and small children are growing at fast rates, and are still developing their motor skills, getting a model that's easy to put on and off is crucial. This is why we would recommend adjustable models (both velcro and laces can work great, depending on what you prefer), as these will allow you to make extra room inside the shoe, or tighten for a more secure fit.
As for other features, we would recommend getting a pair with a good outsole that will provide plenty of traction on varied surfaces, one that's made with breathable materials (and that won't require too much breaking in), as well as shoes that are easy to keep clean, seeing how quickly kids are able to get dirty.
No matter your budget, you'll surely find several suitable options above, and all you'll have to decide on will be the design/color. You can even choose together with your child to ensure you get them the model that will appeal to their aesthetic senses. This way, they'll love wearing the shoes even more.
q: When should I put my toddler in shoes?
Toddlers can go a fairly long time before they need their first pair of shoes. The general rule for buying a child's first pair of shoes is that they only need shoes if they are running around outside on terrain that might hurt their feet. Until they find their way outside, however, a pair of non-slip socks or booties can be worn on cold surfaces, and bare feet are sufficient for the rest of the time.
q: How do I know my child's shoe size?
It is best to use a "seamstress' measuring tape" or a "tailor's measuring tape" to measure the child's foot. Simply measure from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe and then compare that length to the size chart provided by whichever shoe company you are purchasing from, making sure to leave around half an inch for comfort and room to grow. If the child is prone to wiggling, making it too hard to get an accurate measurement, ask them to stand on a piece of paper. Draw a line just behind the heel and just ahead of the longest toe, then apply the same process as outlined above.
q: When should I buy my child new shoes?
If you're buying the shoes in person, new shoes can wait until the child's longest toe is pushing against the tip of the shoe's interior. When ordering online, however, it is best to order when the child's toe is nearly touching or only just reaching the end of the shoe.
q: Can shoes negatively affect my child's feet?
If worn too often, shoes can set back the strength development of a child's ankle or alter the development of their arch. It is best to let them run around barefoot or in socks for the first few years until they begin to run around outside or on splintered surfaces.
q: What do I do with my child's old shoes?
Children outgrow their shoes fairly often. When this happens, there are many charities such as Soles4Souls that collect used shoes to help those in need.
q: How many pairs of shoes will my child need?
One pair at a time should be enough for most kids, provided that the shoes will be suitable for formal and casual functions. Most people do not expect children to be in full formal attire even for certain special events, so a pair of sneakers can go a long way.
