- Abatacept (Orencia®)
- Adalimumab (Humira®)
- Anakinra (Kineret®)
- Certolizumab pegol (Cimzia®)
- Etanercept (Enbrel®)
- Golimumab (Simponi®)
- Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®)
- Infliximab (Remicade®)
- Leflunomide (Arava®)
- Methotrexate (Folex®, Rheumatrex®, Trexall®)
- Rituximab (Rituxan®)
- Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine EN-Tabs®, Sulfazine®)
- Tocilizumab (Actemra®)
- Your doctor has suggested you take a corticosteroid together with a DMARD to treat your RA.
- Methylprednisolone (Depo Medrol®, Medrol®, Solu-Medrol®)
- Prednisolone (Delta-Cortef ®, Econopred®, Orapred®, Pediapred®, Prelone®)
- Prednisone (Deltasone®, Liquidpred®, Sterapred®)
- You want to know what research says about the benefits and side effects of these medicines.
* In this summary, the term "doctor" refers to all the health care professionals who may take care of you, including your physician, rheumatologist, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
This summary is not for you if:
- You have a type of arthritis other than RA, such as osteoarthritis.
- Your doctor has not suggested that you take DMARDs or corticosteroids for your RA.
- You are under age 18. This information is from research on adults.
What will this summary tell me?
This summary will tell you about two types of medicine to treat RA: DMARDs and corticosteroids. It will explain what research has found about how well DMARDs work when taken alone or with corticosteroids to treat RA. It will also tell you what research says about the side effects of these medicines. You can use this summary to talk with your doctor about whether one of these medicines may be right for you.
Where does the information come from?
Researchers funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a Federal Government research agency, reviewed 211 studies on medicines for RA published between January 1990 and January 2011. The report was reviewed by clinicians, researchers, experts, and the public. You can read the report at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/dmardsra.cfm.
Understanding Your Condition
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. In some people, it can also cause the joints to become damaged and deformed.
- Although it can affect any joint in the body, RA is most commonly found in the hands, wrists, feet, and knees. Usually, if it is found in one hand, it will appear in the other as well.
- Sometimes RA can cause problems with body parts other than your joints such as your heart, lungs, eyes, or mouth.
- RA usually lasts many years or an entire lifetime. For some people, RA can last for only a few months to a few years with treatment, although this is rare.
- The symptoms of RA (pain, swelling, stiffness) can get worse for some periods of time (called a "flareup") and then get better for some periods of time.
What causes RA?
The cause of RA is unknown, but researchers think the condition may be passed down in families. The pain and symptoms of RA happen when your immune system (the system of the body that helps defend you from germs) attacks the healthy lining of your joints. Doctors are not sure why the immune system in some people attacks their joints.
How common is RA?
- RA is less common than other kinds of arthritis such as osteoarthritis.
- More than 1 million people in the United States have RA.
- Women are more likely to have RA than men. About 7 out of every 10 people with RA are women.
- Although RA can happen at any age, it usually develops between ages 30 and 50.
How can treatment help?
Although there is no cure for RA, treatment can:
- Relieve pain and swelling
- Slow down or stop joint damage
- Help lower the number of symptom "flareups" (times when pain or swelling is the worst)
- Improve your ability to do daily activities such as bathing, getting dressed, doing chores, reaching, and lifting
What medicines are used to treat RA?
RA is treated with several different types of medicines, including:
- Pain relievers: Over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil®, Motrin®), or naproxen (Aleve®)
- Corticosteroids: Medicines that can relieve RA pain and swelling for a little while
- Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs): Medicines that can decrease symptoms, slow or stop joint damage, and improve your ability to do daily activities
Sometimes DMARDs and corticosteroids are taken together to treat RA. This summary looks at the research on how well DMARDs work when taken alone or with corticosteroids.
Understanding Your Options
What are DMARDs?
DMARDs are a family of medicines that stop the body's immune system from attacking and destroying joints. If you have severe RA symptoms or are not getting enough relief from pain relievers or corticosteroids, your doctor may suggest a DMARD. DMARDs may be taken with each other or together with pain relievers and corticosteroids.
There are two kinds of DMARDs: nonbiologic and biologic.
Nonbiologic DMARDs
Like most medicines, nonbiologic DMARDs are produced from chemicals. They are usually taken daily or weekly as pills, but some can also be given as shots. Nonbiologic DMARDs include:
- Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil®)
- Leflunomide (Arava®)
- Methotrexate (Folex®, Rheumatrex®, Trexall®)
- Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine EN-Tabs®, Sulfazine®)
Biologic DMARDs
Biologic DMARDs are proteins similar to those made in your body, but these proteins are created in laboratories. Biologic DMARDs must be given as shots or through an IV (intravenous) tube into a vein in your arm. Biologic DMARDs include:
- Abatacept (Orencia®)
- Adalimumab (Humira®)
- Anakinra (Kineret®)
- Certolizumab pegol (Cimzia®)
- Etanercept (Enbrel®)
- Golimumab (Simponi®)
- Infliximab (Remicade®)
- Rituximab (Rituxan®)
- Tocilizumab (Actemra®)
Some biologic DMARDs such as infliximab (Remicade®), rituximab (Rituxan®), and tocilizumab (Actemra®) need to be given through an IV tube at a doctor's office or clinic. This could take up to 2 hours. Other biologic DMARDs come in injection pens that you can use at home.
Most biologic DMARDs are given once a month, once every other week, or once a week. Your doctor may change your schedule depending on how well you are doing.
What are the possible side effects of nonbiologic and biologic DMARDs?
Because nonbiologic and biologic DMARDs work in different ways, they have different side effects, some of which are serious.
Nonbiologic DMARDs | Biologic DMARDs |
This information comes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labels of these medicines. | |
Possible Serious Side Effects | |
What are corticosteroids?
Corticosteroids are a kind of medicine that works like a certain type of hormone in your body. Corticosteroids can help reduce swelling and stop the body's immune system from attacking healthy joints. Corticosteroids are taken as pills, liquids, or shots and include:
- Methylprednisolone (Depo Medrol®, Medrol®, Solu-Medrol®)
- Prednisolone (Delta-Cortef ®, Econopred®, Orapred®, Pediapred®, Prelone®)
- Prednisone (Liquidpred®, Deltasone®, Sterapred®)
What are the possible side effects of corticosteroids?
Possible side effects of corticosteroids listed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) include:
- Swelling in the lower legs
- Weight gain
- Increased blood pressure
- Mood swings
- Increased pressure in the eyes
Possible side effects from taking corticosteroids for longer than a few days or weeks include:
- High blood sugar, which can cause or worsen diabetes
- Increased risk of infections
- Loss of calcium from bones, which can make it easier to break a bone
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Thin skin that bruises easily
- Longer time for wounds to heal
What does research say about nonbiologic DMARDs?
How well they work to treat RA:
- Methotrexate (Folex®, Rheumatrex®, Trexall®) and sulfasalazine (Azulfidine EN-Tabs®, Sulfazine®) work about the same to reduce symptoms, reduce the number of joints affected, improve the ability to do daily activities, and slow down or stop joint damage.
- Leflunomide (Arava®) appears to work about as well as methotrexate, but there is not enough research to know this for certain.
Side effects:
- All nonbiologic DMARDs appear to cause about the same amount of side effects, but there is not enough research to know this for certain.
What does research say about biologic DMARDs?
How well they work to treat RA:
- Biologic DMARDS work to decrease or completely stop symptoms, improve the ability to do daily activities, and slow down or stop joint damage.
Side effects:
- Taking a biologic DMARD increases the risk of developing serious infections.
- Taking biologic DMARDs for long periods of time does not increase the risk of having serious side effects.
What does research say about combining medicines?
How well they work to treat RA:
- If treatment with one DMARD does not relieve symptoms, taking a biologic DMARD together with the nonbiologic DMARD methotrexate works better than taking only one to improve the ability to do daily activities and slow down or stop joint damage.
- Adding a corticosteroid to treatment with a nonbiologic DMARD improves the ability to do daily activities more than taking a nonbiologic DMARD alone. Adding a corticosteroid may also slow down or stop joint damage more than taking a nonbiologic DMARD alone, but there is not enough research to know this for certain.
- For people who have had RA for less than 3 years, taking two or three nonbiologic DMARDs plus a corticosteroid works better than taking only one nonbiologic DMARD.
- For people who have had RA for less than 3 years, taking the nonbiologic DMARD methotrexate together with a biologic DMARD decreases or completely stops symptoms and slows down or stops joint damage in people whose RA was quickly getting worse.
- For people who have had RA for a long time without any improvement, taking three nonbiologic DMARDs together reduces symptoms and the number of joints affected more than taking one or two nonbiologic DMARDs.
Side effects:
- Taking a nonbiologic DMARD with a biologic DMARD does not cause more side effects than taking the biologic DMARD alone.
- Taking two or more biologic DMARDs together can cause more serious side effects than taking only one.
- Taking a corticosteroid together with a nonbiologic DMARD does not make treatment more difficult to tolerate.
- In people who have had RA for less than 3 years, taking two or three nonbiologic DMARDs plus a corticosteroid does not make treatment more difficult to tolerate than taking only a nonbiologic DMARD.
What does research say about how nonbiologic and biologic DMARDs compare to each other?
How well they work to treat RA:
- The biologic DMARDs adalimumab (Humira®) and etanercept (Enbrel®) help decrease symptoms about the same as the nonbiologic DMARD methotrexate.
Side effects:
- There is not enough research to know if certain side effects happen more often with nonbiologic or biologic DMARDs.
Making a Decision
What should I think about when deciding?
More research is needed to know which RA medicines might work best for different people. There are several things to consider when choosing a medicine to treat your RA:
- The trade-offs between the possible benefits and side effects for each medicine
- Which medicine best fits your lifestyle, what is important to you (your values), and your preferences
- You may want to think about how comfortable you are with taking pills, getting shots, or taking the medicine through an IV tube. You may also want to consider how often you are able to go to the doctor's office or clinic and how much time you are able to spend there.
- The cost of each medicine
What are the trade-offs?
Only you and your doctor can decide whether taking a DMARD for your RA is worth the risk of possible side effects. You and your doctor should discuss:
- The amount of pain or joint damage you have and whether treatment with a DMARD can help
- The risk of serious side effects from DMARDs
- Signs to look for to help you notice serious side effects so they can be treated or so your medicine can be changed
- Whether adding a corticosteroid to your treatment with DMARDs might help
- Other options besides DMARDs that might help your RA
What are the costs?
The costs to you for nonbiologic and biologic DMARDs and corticosteroids depend on:
- Your health insurance plan
- The amount (dose) you need
- Whether you take the medicine as a pill, as a shot, or through an IV tube
- Whether a generic form of the medicine is available
- Whether the company that makes the medicine offers financial help to lower the cost
Corticosteroids can be taken for short periods of time (30 days) or longer, depending on your specific needs. The cost for corticosteroids is around $3 to $15 a month. The cost to you depends on how much of the medicine you need and how long you will need to take it.

Ask your doctor
- Do you think a DMARD could help my RA?
- What serious side effects should I look for?
- Would adding a corticosteroid to a DMARD help my RA?
- How long will it take until I start to feel better?
- Is there a less expensive medicine that I could take?
- What else can I do to help my RA?
- Are there specific lifestyle changes you can suggest that might help?

Whatever your preference, check our suggestions on places to visit before planning your itinerary.Remember, you can search for the best prices on flights to Abu Dhabi using the booking engine on this page, while fantastic car hire rates are available through our partner Hertz. For customised holiday packages in Abu Dhabi, including city tours, tickets to leading attractions and hotel bookings, contact the travel specialists at Hala Abu Dhabi.
Emirates Palace One of the biggest landmarks in Abu Dhabi, the lavish Emirates Palace hotel was developed at a cost of US$3 billion (AED11 billion) and commenced operations in 2005. Located on West Corniche Road, around 30 minutes away from Abu Dhabi International Airport by car, the hotel offers 394 luxury rooms and suites, with many of the latter furnished in gold and marble. Onsite facilities include two swimming pool areas, two gyms, a luxury spa, four tennis courts, dedicated 'energy' and 'kids' zones, and water sport facilities for sailing, snorkelling and windsurfing.In addition, there are 15 dining venues, covering Emirati, Italian, Chinese, Lebanese and various other cuisine from around the world. As you would expect, the surroundings of Emirates Palace hotel are equally impressive, with a flawless private beach that stretches over 1.3km, in addition to 100 hectares of stunning landscaped gardens with 8,000 trees.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque A trip to the world-renowned Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is highly-recommended during a visit to Abu Dhabi. The impressive monument is located on a 22,412 square metre site (the equivalent of five football fields) and has enough capacity for 40,960 worshippers. Leading artisans from around the world were involved in the mosque's design and construction, with a major focus on materials such as ceramics, marble, gold, semi-precious stones and crystals for their long-lasting qualities. Once inside the mosque, keep an eye out for the world's largest hand-knotted carpet, which was completed by 1,300 Iranian artisans and can be found in the main prayer hall, where one of the world's largest chandeliers has also been placed, weighing a staggering nine tonnes. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is open daily to visitors, except on Friday mornings, which is only for worshippers. General admission is free and complimentary guided tours are available for individuals and groups with a maximum of ten people.
Abu Dhabi Corniche As one of the UAE capital's most popular landmarks, Abu Dhabi Corniche attracts in the region of 30,000 to 50,000 visitors each month, which includes both tourists and local residents. Stretching around eight kilometres in total, the coastal promenade has dedicated areas for singles, families and the general public. Visitors have access to numerous cafes and restaurants, shaded landscaped gardens, separate pedestrian and bicycle pathways, children's play areas, and facilities for beach football and volleyball. Of course, one of Abu Dhabi Corniche's biggest draws in the lifeguarded beachfront, which has been awarded the coveted 'Blue Flag' status for guaranteeing clean and safe bathing water. However, it's not possible to swim too far out, as floating fences will keep you within 40 metres of the beach. To make the corniche more accessible, there are over 1,100 free parking pages within a five minute walk of the beach.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has established itself as one of the UAE capital's most popular landmarks, with more than 20 different attractions for visitors to explore, in addition to unique shopping experiences and a wide variety of Italian restaurants. Located on Yas Island, the indoor theme park includes the fastest rollercoaster on earth, Formula Rosso, which accelerates from zero to 240km/hour in 4.9 seconds! For more heart-racing experiences, head over to G-Force, where visitors are launched 62 metres in the sky while strapped in a Ferrari-style seat, or take part in the Fiorano GT Challenge, where a couple of GT coasters raceeach other on twisting parallel tracks. For children, the likes of Junior GT, Junior Training Camp and Bell'Italia offer unforgettable entertainment, while families can unwind by learning about Ferrari's history with The Racing Legends multimedia ride or view the ultimate display of Ferrari cars at Galleria Ferrari.
Capital Gate A stunning addition to Abu Dhabi's iconic skyline, Capital Gate is the world's furthest-leaning manmade tower, according to Guinness World Records. With a total height of 160 metres, the skyscraper has a westward lean of 18 degrees, which is four times more than Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa. Capital Gate was designed by Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners (RMJM) and developed by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company as part of the ambitious US$2.2 billion Capital Centre micro-city in close proximity to Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). It includes office space, retail outlets, a food court, conference facilities, meeting rooms, business centres and a helipad. In addition, the five-star Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi hotel is located inside the building, offering 189 guestrooms and suites. Great holiday snaps are guaranteed with this architectural masterpiece, so remember to take a camera along when you visit.
Abu Dhabi Heritage Village A traditional oasis village has been reconstructed at Abu Dhabi Heritage Village, offering a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the UAE capital's past. The landmark attraction, which is run by Emirates Heritage Club, can be found on a 1,600 square metre site overlooking Abu Dhabi Corniche, in close proximity to Marina Mall. It includes an open museum with examples of desert campfires, old-fashioned tents made from goat hair, sea houses made from palm tree fronds, traditional water wells, and the 'falaj' irrigation system. Demonstrations are often held at the village too, with skilled craftsmen focusing on pottery and metal work, while women use their netting and weaving skills to make woollen socks, carpets and trays. In addition, there are opportunities to shop around for handmade soap and dried herbs at the village store, and if you're really lucky, falconry displays might also take place during your visit.
Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi One of the most eye-catching hotels in the UAE capital, Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi illuminates the skies with its impressive canopy, which uses 5000 LED panels to produce a stunning kaleidoscope of colours that reflect over the neighbouring Yas Marina Circuit after sunset. The futuristic approach continues inside, with modern and cutting-edge interiors throughout the five-star hotel. Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi includes 499 guest rooms and suites, in addition to 12 dining venues and lounges, which showcase cuisine from around the world, from Mediterranean specialities and homemade Italian fare to Japanese teppanyaki and regional Indian delights. If you want to be pampered, the ESPA spa has nine treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge, and the Viceroy Presidential Treatment Suit, complete with its own hammam, steam room and Kinesis fitness equipment. Other features of the hotel include a fully-equipped gym, boutique gift shop, executive lounge and business centre, and two rooftop pools.
Al Maqtaa Fort Despite the rapid transformation of Abu Dhabi into a modern, world-class metropolis, there are a number of important monuments in the UAE capital that showcase its rich cultural history. Al Maqtaa Fort, for example, was initially developed to protect the local area from invading bandits over 200 years ago. Located in the shallow waters that connect Abu Dhabi Island to the mainland, the simplistic design of Al Maqtaa Fortoffers a remarkable contrast to the modern splendour of Al Maqtaa Bridge, with both attractions located side-by-side. Following a series of renovations, the well-preserved landmark now includes a visitor information centre operated by Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, where historical insights are provided about the local area. Although tourists are normally eager to have their photos taken at the fort, it's important to note that the location also serves as a military zone and caution should therefore be exercised.
Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital Launched on 3rd October 1999, Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital (ADFH) has emerged as the world's largest falcon hospital, with more than 50,000 patients in the first 12 years. On average, this includes around 6,000 falcons each year from across the UAE, in addition to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. In addition to examining, treating and breeding the animals, the hospital was developed into a leading tourist attraction with the launch of a 'Falcon World Tour' in 2007. Under the initiative, guided tours are offered to a falconry museum, where the historical relationship between falcons and the Middle East is explored, followed by a visit to the examination room, where feather repairs, pedicures and other activities are conducted. Visitors also have access to a large free-flight aviary, where birds are kept, and can have their photos taken with a falcon on their arm in the hospital garden. A buffet lunch can also be purchased, served in a traditional Arabic tent and prepared by Abu Dhabi National Hotels' staff.
Al Jahili Fort One of the largest and most impressive forts in the country, Al Jahili is located in the stunning 'garden city' of Al Ain, around one-and-a-half hours from Abu Dhabi. It was built in the late 1890s by Sheikh Zayed The First to serve as a defence stronghold, as well as a royal summer residence, with the cooler temperatures of Al Ain offering a welcome escape from the midsummer heat of Abu Dhabi. Following an extensive renovation in 2007-2008, the fort has emerged as a major tourist attraction, with most of the rooms and towers open to the public. It also includes a visitor information centre, retail outlet, café, and permanent exhibition about Wilfred Thesiger, who twice crossed the Empty Quarter (considered one of the world's largest sand deserts) in the 1940s. Also known as Mubarak bin London, the noted British travel writer and explorer was a lifelong friend of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

Time to pull the plug on Derrick Rose for this season?
BY RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com March 27, 2013 10:19PM
Article Extras
Updated: March 28, 2013 11:52AM
After months and months of mind-numbing non-updates, we finally received some credible information about Derrick Rose's status Tuesday, with rapper Waka Flocka Flame announcing that Rose would make his long-awaited return Wednesday night against the Heat.
When the definitive history of journalism is written, Flame will get his own chapter, thanks to his Watergate reporting.
But Rose did not play against Miami, making it like all the other days he didn't play this season.
Wednesday told us in no uncertain terms that it's time to end this circus. When we have to listen even a little bit to the man who gave us the lyric, "Alwayz missin breakfast, eatin on sum cereal,'' it's time.
Time for Rose to say once and for all that he's not playing this season. Time for the Bulls to shut him down.
Rose said Wednesday that his return is "in God's hands,'' but sources tell me that God is bone- tired of the will-he-won't-he tease. God wants Rose physically and mentally ready for next season. God also said he loved "Waka Flocka and the Chocolate Factory.''
The Bulls shocked the Heat 101-97 Wednesday, ending Miami's 27-game winning streak. With the clock winding down, the United Center crowd chanted, "End of streak, end of streak.''
It was quite an effort from a bruised, strained, beaten-up team.
"Coming down the stretch, we just want to be playing as good as we can, so this was a very good step,'' guard Kirk Hinrich said.
You can bet the spirited effort against Miami will set off another frenzy around the city: Imagine the damage the Bulls could do in the playoffs if Rose came back now!
I just did. Not much.
There's no point now in Rose's return, not with 12 games left in the season. There's very little upside for him or the Bulls in his coming back. Do you really want him taking baby steps from reconstructive knee surgery during the playoffs, when the energy level is ratcheted up? The Bulls gave him a five-year, $95 million contract with the idea of a long career, not with the idea of a rush job.
When doctors said Rose's rehab could last anywhere from eight to 12 months, it was as if no one in Chicago heard the "12'' part. The public expectation seemed to be that he would be back in February or early March, which is why coach Tom Thibodeau has had to answer questions about Rose's status almost every day. Three times now, Rose has said he might not play this season. No one seemed to want to listen.
The uncertainty of the last few months has allowed people to question Rose's courage. What amazing powers of insight they have. If you've suffered a torn ACL and you're not scared, there's something wrong with you. If you saw the way Rose attacked the rim when he was healthy, you know courage is not the issue.
But some of this falls on Rose and his advisers. They have done a very poor job of handling the situation. In hindsight, the better approach would have been to say that he wasn't coming back this season. There wouldn't have been all the questions and all the raised hopes. And if he had come back, so what?
Instead, there has been a torturous drip, drip, drip of little to no news. Any person passing through Chicago who has ever had a knee injury has been asked about what Rose is going through, his rehab and his mind-set. Football players, hockey players, visiting dignitaries — everyone with an opinion has been asked to share it. What does the new pope know about knee injuries? We'll get on it.
The Rose story has hijacked this season. It's no coincidence that the Bulls have gone through their worst stretch while the Rose soap opera was going full steam.
Bulls fans are restless, but for what, I'm not sure. Injuries have taken such a toll that it's hard to see the team advancing in the postseason. When the Bulls took the floor Wednesday, they were without Joakim Noah, Marco Belinelli and Richard Hamilton. Oh, and that Rose fellow, too. It was Derrick Rose bobblehead night, however.
"Every day I'm just waking up to try and be the best player, try and produce every time I step on the court, just try and get better as a player, and who knows when?'' Rose said Wednesday morning.
When? How about next season?

Bomber Jacket Tyler Folio
A Must Have
Just received my folio a few days ago and I couldn't wait to use it in my next meeting. The leather is soft and elegant. It has many pockets to put the loose papers and notes away. The overall look is just beautiful and I love all the bomber collection. Thank you once again Levenger for a great product

Bomber Jacket Tyler Folio
I love the quality of this folio. The leather looks and smells amazing. I can't wait to give it as a gift to my son-in-law!
December 18, 2014
Couldn't have been better
I purchased this folio as a gift for my brother. He just passed the CPA exam and had a birthday coming up the following week, so I wanted a gift to apply to both occasions. After a brief online search I stumbled upon the bomber jacket line, and was quite impressed. Called customer service to check on the wait time for monogramming & shipping, and the nicest gentleman told me it would only take 10 minutes to monogram and shipping would be just a few days! I ordered about a week and a half before I needed it, and it came with a week to spare. When I opened to inspect it I was so impressed with the quality! The leather is so soft and the craftsmanship is top notch. I especially loved the patterned fabric behind the notepad, it gave it a nice, personalized touch! Needless to say my brother was overwhelmingly happy with his gift, which he can now take to his new job! I would 100% recommend this product and this company to anyone looking for similar items. I will certainly be coming back to Levenger if I need to purchase anything like this for anyone else in my family!
September 25, 2014
I have been a big fan of the Bomber Jacket line for a decade. All of the items wear like iron. My new Bomber Jacket Tyler Folio is as close to perfect as anything can get. A perfect balance of pockets and usability. I have already had several friend ask me where I purchased this. I know I will be able to count on many years of effective use from this product!
September 4, 2014
Great product! OUTSTANDING SERVICE!!
I could not be more pleased with this product. The service on this order was exceptional. I was giving this as a gift with personalization and new title (PhD) to my son on the day of his final dissertation. We waited longer than we should have to order but the product arrived in plenty of time and in perfect shape. This company has set new standards for me others will be hard pressed to live up to. Thank you
July 24, 2014
Bomber Folio is the bomb!
This is my third bomber product. I have already received raves from colleges. When someone comments "Wow this leather is like butter!" you have produced a winner. Thanks!
July 10, 2014
Great Product
Awesome Folio. quality is great and will work perfect of my use.
July 1, 2014
Simply Elegant
There is a unique beauty to all Levenger leather products. From the moment you open the box and for the years of use you get from the product, the look, feel and aroma of the leather remains. The Bomber Jacket Folio is no exception. The bomber leather is soft and buttery. The design is a user's pleasure. All of my Levenger leather products - over many years - are still in daily use. They have never let me down and I expect no less from this one.
June 26, 2014
The folio I have been searching for!
Over the last 20 years in business I have purchased and been given countless folios. My search for "exactly what I need" has ended. The quality of the leather and stitching is superb. Inside it has everything I need to keep my work organized. It contains the perfect balance of usable space without giving me "too much" to fill up. I've paired it with the bomber pocket briefcase and they compliment reach other perfectly. I can highly recommend this product. As a side note. As a left-handed writer this folio excels even more. There is nothing to obstruct my writing/not taking. Buy with confidence!!!
June 26, 2014
Just love it.
I wish I had had this folio for years. It is functional as well as handsome. I can carry it in the rain as the flap over the top of the paper protects it. Levengers always comes through with top products. Thank you.

Thibs on Derrick Rose at practice: 'He did what everyone else did'

There seemed to be a difference of opinion on how much Derrick Rose took on Monday, his first time going all out in a five-on-five scrimmage since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last April.
According to head coach Tom Thibodeau, Rose was "doing what he should be doing. He's focused on his rehab, doing more and more. We just have to be patient. When he's ready, he'll go.
"He did what everyone else did. Just a normal practice.''
Joakim Noah, however, fresh off of his first All-Star Game appearance over the weekend, had a different view of how much Rose participated.
"Just a little bit,'' Noah said. "Not too much.''
Then again, Thibodeau summed up statements that come from Noah with an "I don't pay attention to what [Noah] says,'' so it's tough to decide who to believe.
What was known was that Rose ran with the first team, as well as working some second teamers in the mix to get a few different looks.
Kirk Hinrich, who had missed the last two weeks with an infection in his right elbow, got work as the starting point guard, but admitted that he was also bumped over to the two guard to work with Rose at the same time.
"It was good,'' Hinrich said. "I have some experience doing that, so it was good just to see Derrick out there, and playing alongside him. We all needed the work.''

A beautiful, ungodly fast car that can be picked up for about $8000 and will **** on your eurotrash wannabe porsche's or Jags and your homo-erotic ricer club boyz.
hands down the most bang for your buck

In order to make the Best Product list, a blush must:
Today's best powder blushes have silky-smooth textures, apply evenly, don't fade, and come in a range of pigment density (so you can create either a dramatic or soft appearance with little effort).
For the most part, blush is probably one of the easiest cosmetics to get right because it is nearly impossible to buy a bad blush. Not that there aren't some real losers out there, but there are far more winners. The problem with blush is usually in application, and that is where good brushes come into play.
Using the proper brush is essential for getting blush to go on correctly. With very few exceptions, you should just discard the mini-brushes that come packaged with a powder blush in favor of an elegant, professional-size blush brush.
Powder blush is by far the most popular form of this makeup staple, but for variety's sake many lines offer cream, cream-to-powder, and liquid or gel blushes. Those that proved particularly impressive (or easier than usual to work with) earned our top rating.
Because most blushes in all forms have some degree of shine (clearly, many women must want shiny cheeks), we did not take a true matte finish into consideration as strongly as we have in the past. There are some terrific matte blushes available, but, for the most part, what passes for matte today still has a hint of shine. Please refer to each blush's individual review for comments on its finish (matte, almost matte, or level of shine).
Note: The cream blushes on the lists below are recommended only for dry to very dry skin that is not prone to blemishes. Cream-to-powder blushes, whether in stick or compact form, are best for normal to slightly dry or slightly oily skin not prone to breakouts.

Nautical Dreams Foldover Pockets I was surprised with how easy the whole invitation process was. We were able to order our customized sample, make our changes, and order the final product with no hassle. Plus, at checkout I googled promo codes and got $75 bucks off. I had initially started working with another website but they wouldn't even let me order a sample. So glad we found Magnet Street! We got several compliments on the invitations and were completely satisfied.

Books | Alan Sillitoe, channeling the angry young football man
Alan Sillitoe's work was on the syllabus in my short-story class as a college freshman. Naturally, the story considered most representative was "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner," consisting of a teenage cross-country runner's interior dialogues upon liberation each day from the Borstal fetters ("I'm a human being and I've got thoughts and secrets and bloody life inside me …").
Haruki Murakami, we mentioned a few days ago, did not take a shine to Sillitoe's 1959 collection. He calls The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner, in which the story appears, "boring" (see Mar 1).
But Sillitoe's restoration comes quickly. Today is the writer's 80th birthday, a time for renewed appreciation (see D. J. Taylor, "The Common Touch," Guardian, Mar 1). Taylor begins his assessment with discussion of the short story "The Match," also contained in Sillitoe's Loneliness assemblage.
"A brisk exercise in determinism" is how Taylor characterizes the tale, which opens on the terraces at Meadow Lane, home to Football League co-founders Notts County, the side supported by 40-year-old auto-mechanic protagonist Lennox and his younger companion, the amusingly named Fred Iremonger. Considering the importance of Nottinghamshire in Sillitoe's work, one would expect the evocation of place, the council-estate gloam, to convince.
It does. But more intriguing is how the misty match that precedes Lennox's teatime corresponds to his mood, the "one-track pessimism" that has him disparaging the home team, down 1–2 with 10 minutes remaining: "They'd even lose at blow football." From Lennox's perspective, the Notts County performance offers a disturbingly accurate rendering of his middle-aged existence, echoing the confusion that Nick Hornby experiences when his life situation becomes too closely entwined with football outcomes: "I couldn't decide whether life was shit because Arsenal was shit, or the other way around."
Lennox watches the Magpies and the opponent, Bristol City, in a resigned manner, certain that the world will not change:
Movement on the pitch was now desultory, for there was only 10 minutes of play left to go. The two teams knotted up towards one goal, then spread out around an invisible ball, and moved down the field again, back to the other with no decisive result. It seemed that both teams had accepted the present score to be the final state of the game, as though all effort had deserted their limbs and lungs.
Taylor says that the trajectory and language of "The Match" herald a new literary perspective on working-class life. "Sillitoe," he writes, "was almost single-handedly responsible for a shift in the way working-class characters found themselves represented in literature." George Orwell in such works as The Road to Wigan Pier, in which he, too, muses in passing on football's adjunct status (principally through the pools) to a working man's days, had celebrated his subjects' authenticity and stolidness. Orwell refers to "the curious cult of Northernness" as represented by Yorkshiremen who claim that the North offers the only "real" life, "the industrial work done in the North is the only 'real' work, that the North is inhabited by 'real' people, the South merely by rentiers and their parasites."
Sillitoe relocated to London from Nottingham some time ago; he augments his writing space with a Nottinghamshire memento, a shoe for a lame horse as crafted by his farrier grandfather.
We do not know how often football supporters occupy principal roles in Sillitoe's novels and travel writing. It would be hard to find a more appropriate character foil, though, than Notts County, who have experienced the most relegations in English football history (14).
Perhaps Sillitoe's unsentimental view of the football-viewing experience and the attendant domestic misery pushed him beyond the city limits. In the 1960s, he set off on a one-man car trip, intending to drive from England to the Soviet Union. The account, Gadfly in Russia, would not be published until 2007 (see his essay "Red Wine and a New Beginning," New Statesman, 15 Nov 07):
I set off, driving on the left to Harwich, and next day on the right, across Denmark. Sweden's traffic in those days took me back to the left, while in Finland 24 hours later I was again driving on the right. The drill sergeant's command of "left, right, left, right" took me down the middle of the road to Leningrad. The plan was to motor via Moscow and Kiev to Romania, over the Carpathians, the Alps, across the Channel, and then home.
Along this road Sillitoe would encounter another itinerant writer who had incorporated football into his creation: Anatoly Kuznetsov, author of Babi Yar. Kuznetsov, the native of Kyiv, fought Soviet censors over publication of the documentary novel chronicling Nazi executions in the infamous Ukraine ravine. The book also demystifies the so-called Death Match (6 Aug 1942) between a reconstituted Dynamo Kyiv and a German Luftwaffe elite (see our Dnipro Dnipropetrovs'k–Dynamo Kyiv "liveblog," Mar 2). Sillitoe's companion on the Soviet leg of the car journey later escorts Kuznetsov to London, where Kuznetsov claimed asylum and to which, in 1969, he smuggled the uncensored Babi Yar text.
Sillitoe along the writer's rambling way has encountered some critics, but like Notts County—the only English club to have played in every FA Cup, beginning in 1877—he demonstrates staying power.
The Times Literary Supplement in its review of Richard Bradford's biography of Sillitoe, The Life of a Long-Distance Writer (Peter Owen, 2008), sketches the provenance of "The Match" (D. J. Taylor, "The Start of Alan Sillitoe," 1 Oct 08). Sillitoe based the story on a visit to a Notts County match in 1949; the story itself was first published in 1954. Its French editors, "who exclaimed over this story of domestic violence spilling out of an afternoon on the football terraces," drew comparisons with Albert Camus, the football-savvy existentialist.
"The Match," according to Bradford, shows how Sillitoe blends both reporting skill and artistry. The story "is a great deal more than reportage—devious, full of sly juxtapositions, odd symbolic sheens and ambiguous human traffic."

The perfect lip for fall is one of two things. It's a red lip – a blooming, bittersweet shade – or a dusty nude lip with the slightest suggestion of pink. You can't go wrong with either, says Clarins Beauty Expert Christopher Truffa, who recommends going "dusty and nude or red and bold, keeping that fresh-faced look." Mr. Truffa recently visited Nordstrom's Michigan Avenue flagship to share some of his fall beauty recommendations.
If you choose to go au naturel, try applying the lip color with a lip brush. Using a lipstick straight from the tube can overwhelm the lips with pigment, says Mr. Truffa. A nude lip is best achieved with several light coats, which is made easy with a lip brush. "You'll also get a little bit longer wear out of it," he says. "You'll get a more consistent look for your fashion look if you don't have to keep reapplying." Using a brush also gives you the opportunity to easily layer several colors, as is often done by makeup artists.
In most magazines, says Mr. Truffa, you'll spot a model wearing a lip color that you love. "You go, 'Gosh, I want that color! What color is that?' But really it's more like two or three different colors. It's always about that layered look." In Mr. Truffa's demonstration, he used the nude version of the Instant Light Lip Perfector with a light coat of a coral lipstick to achieve a perfect dusty pink lip.
For the eyes, says Mr. Truffa, drama is paramount. Start the day with a rich smoky eye. Then, just before you leave the office for the day, simply apply a liquid liner to the base of the top eyelashes. Mr. Truffa demonstrated this "cubicles to cocktails" application with Clarins' 3-dot eyeliner, which has an innovative 3-pronged applicator that fills in the space between each lash. To create even more drama, use an eyeliner and "with a flick of the wrist, work from the end of the eye upward toward the end of the brow" to create the perfect cat eye.
With several fall beauty trends to choose from, the potential combinations are many. Try a smoky eye with a red lip, a cat eye with a nude lip, a smoky cat eye with a light coral lip, or a medley of your own making. This fall, the beauty possibilities are as endless as those summer days of months past.

Inspectors have already assessed the pool, built in the '60s, as it was having trouble keeping water in.
Summer swimmers are now at a loss without the city's only public access pool.
"We ran a test and it showed a bad leak has been occurring underneath the foundation for a while," said Glorioso. "We had to close it for our number one reason — it's a safety problem."
Soil that gave way under one corner of the structure eventually caused the shell of the pool to crack and leak. As water continued to seep underground, more and more soil started washing away underneath the pool bottom.
"It's really unfortunate and this was the last thing we wanted going into the summer," said Glorioso. "I wish there was another pool option, but there isn't.
"We just can't take a chance of putting children at risk."
Under expert guidance, the city decided to close the pool until a decision is made to either repair it or start over with a completely new pool.
Glorioso is researching reconstruction options and getting quotes on costs. His task is to bring the best option to the Cleveland Board of Aldermen before a budget decision is made in August.
One quote has already estimated costs to be between $275,000-$350,000. This would cover all technical work, breaking out the main drainage plumbing, deck repair, a refinishing on the pool's interior and more.
"It's going to be tough, but I know the board is going to do anything and everything humanly possible to resolve this," said Glorioso. "Whether they choose to fix the existing pool or replace it all together, the city is going to do whatever they can."
Without the Eastside pool, children can still experience water fun at the city's two wading pools — one at Fireman's Park and one at Sterling Anderson Park on Aloe Avenue.
Glorioso said he would not be opposed to considering a new sprinkler park for families as opposed to a pool.
"These can be a lot of fun and they're a great setting for the entire family," he said. "You also don't have to spend as much time managing the chlorine and filtration system.
"A sprinkler park could go almost anywhere in the neighborhood."
Despite the current pool's unfortunate recent downfalls, Glorioso said it has served well over the years.
"If you've had a pool for 50 years, you've gotten your money out of it," he said. "It's bad that the ultimate thing we feared the most happened — closing for the summer — but now we know it's time for a repair or a completely new pool."
Glorioso said he doesn't want youth to go another summer without a pool.
If the process is too expensive to rebuild at the same size, Glorioso said a smaller pool might be a more logical option.
"That pool is so big and to fix it means we'd probably have to take out the whole deep end," he said. "We have to ask if it's better to just take a bulldozer to all of it."
Glorioso credited Cleveland Alderman Robert Sanders for his continued effort to explain the issues with citizens living in the area.
"He's done a lot to help communicate the problems we're experiencing," Glorioso said. "I can't thank him enough for helping people understand we're doing everything we can to fix this as quick as possible."

Joseph "Jose" Banks, one of two convicted bank robbers who escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center this week, was caught late Thursday night in the 2300 block of North Bosworth, authorities said.
His cellmate, Kenneth Conley, was still at large early Friday.
A statement said agents and officers from the Chicago FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force and Chicago Police officers arrested Banks about 11:30 p.m. Thursday. Banks, who has been dubbed the "Secondhand Bandit" was not armed when he was captured, a law enforcement source told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Hezekiah Hopper-Bey, who lives next door to the two-story red brick apartment where Banks was caught, said he saw Banks on a cell phone outside with a white T-shirt and blue gym shorts before 20 FBI officials swarmed the block.
"I was lying down watching TV and I heard a gunshot. I came to the window. I saw the FBI pointing guns at the bank robber," Hopper-Bey said Friday morning.
Hopper-Bey said he saw Banks run down a path between two buildings. Banks then darted in to the building into a first floor apartment.
Minutes later, FBI officials emerged with what appeared to be a yellow shoe box and a handcuffed Banks, Hopper-Bey said.
"He wasn't shouting. He was walking calm, like. 'I got caught,'" Hopper-Bey said of the defeated bank robber.
Hopper-Bey said he knows Banks' cousin who lives in the neighborhood but said the apartment Unit D where Banks ran into was not his relative's.
Had Hopper-Bey known Banks was an escaped convict, he said he would have called authorities.
"If I would have seen him, I would have turned him in. I need that money," Hopper-Bey joked of the loot Banks had stolen. "If I'd had the money, I'd be in Hawaii lying on the beach with some honeys."
Dennisha Franklin, 24, was coming home from work Thursday night when she saw a half dozen FBI agents surrounding the building on Bosworth with their guns drawn, pointing to the ground.
Fearing for her safety, Franklin said she ran into her building.
The gunshot some neighbors heard, Franklin said, may have been when the FBI agents kicked in the door, which had two dents near the door knob Friday.
"I was scared. I didn't know what was going on," Franklin said. "I was scared to even come out of my door. Thank God my kids were asleep."
Days before his escape, Banks was convicted of four bank heists. The 37-year-old represented himself during the jury trial, and when he was convicted he vowed: "You'll hear from me!"
On Friday, authorities continued investigating as to how Banks and his partner were able to flee.
Earlier Thursday, a union official said a staffing shortage in the federal jail in downtown Chicago contributed to a series of security snafus that made this week's daring escape possible. Banks and Conley crawled out a hole in the wall of their 17th-floor cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center and slid down a rope made of bedsheets early Tuesday.
The breakout was caught on surveillance video, but a guard assigned to monitor the cameras didn't see it because he was counting prisoners on another floor, the official said. FBI agents later recovered a private surveillance video of Banks and Conley jumping into a cab near the jail at about 2:40 a.m. Tuesday. But jail officers didn't notice they had escaped until 7 a.m. that morning. The escapees stopped briefly at Conley mother's house in Tinley Park before they vanished, authorities said.
An official with the Council of Prison Locals 33, which represents the guards in the jail, spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times about the escape on the condition that his name not be used. The union official said two officers were assigned to a control room where the closed-circuit TV monitors for the jail's security cameras are located.
But one of them was preoccupied answering phone calls from other officers providing the results of their prisoner counts. Because of a staffing shortage, the other officer was on the 17th floor doing a count — instead of monitoring the cameras, the official said. "The timing was just perfect," official said. "Does it make sense? Absolutely not. It's a breach of security."
Several years ago, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons cut back on the staffing of correctional facilities across the country, including the MCC, the union official said.
Because of the cuts, the MCC no longer assigns an officer to a car to patrol the jail's perimeter — which includes Clark, Federal, Van Buren and Congress, the official said. The mobile officer was supposed to look for signs of escape on the building's exterior.
The jail also used to have an officer walking a foot patrol outside the jail 24 hours a day on three shifts. Now only one officer is assigned to a foot patrol from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the union official said.
But that officer is primarily responsible for watching for people at the front entrance, at the vehicle entrance for transporting prisoners to the jail and in the employee parking lot, the union official said.
The official said the staffing shortage limits the number of "shakedowns" of prisoners' cells, too. The searches are important in finding contraband that inmates hide in their cells.
As for whether he thinks anyone working for the jail helped Banks and Conley escape, the official said he was told that the FBI's investigation found no initial evidence of an "inside job."
"Let the investigation fall where it may," said the union official. "The bottom line is to basically make sure this doesn't happen again. The objective of the union and management should be safety. We need more staff to be safe."
Responding to a request for comment on the union official's view, Ed Ross, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons wrote in an email: "At this time it would be premature to speculate regarding any of these matters as the entire incident is still under investigation."
