Using a system of grading codes based on those established by price guides such as Beckett, Tuff Stuff, Sports Collector�s Digest, collectors can determine the approximate condition of items offered by interpreting the following grades. Grading is very subjective and there can also be grades in between the levels below. MINT (MT) - while we rarely use this grade, occasionally it can be found for items that we appraise as appearing nearly perfect to the naked eye. With respect to cards, it would be defined as one with 50/50 centering all around, razor-sharp corners, a photo that is well-registered and completely focused, and no visible imperfections on card front or back. NEAR MINT-MINT (NRMT/MT) - is qualified by at least 60/40 centering, only the slightest hint of corner wear upon close inspection, and may have a barely visible print spot, lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. NEAR MINT (NRMT) - card displays at least 70/30 centering, may have a visible slight touch of corner wear all around, and/or a few slightly visible print spots, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. EXCELLENT-MINT (EX/MINT) - centering equivalent to NRMT (70/30), but 2 or 3 corners display an obvious "fuzzy" quality. Essentially, a card that would have been deemed NRMT if not for the corner wear being more apparent. May have a barely visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. EXCELLENT (EX) - all four corners show visible signs of wear, but are not rounded. Centering at least 80/20. May have a visible print spot, a lack of intense color, or a slight focus imperfection. VERY GOOD (VG) - Corners are rounded and the card may have creases or wrinkles. FAIR TO GOOD - in this grade, card has rounded corners and other major defects such as scuffing, pinholes, loss of gloss, multiple creases. In general, a markedly worn card and often used as a "filler" until a better one comes along. |
1959 Fleer Ted WilliamsTed Williams was one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game ! The 'Splendid Splinter' played from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 all with the Boston Red Sox. He missed 1943 thru 1945 due to military duty when he was a pilot during the wars. For his career he hit .344 with 521 home runs. Ted Williams was one of the biggest stars baseball has ever seen, and his baseball cards remain very popular and valuable.Ted's rookie card was in 1950 Bowman and he was exclusive with Bowman from 1950 thru 1954. In 1954 he also allowed Topps to make his cards which they did from 1954 thru 1958. In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps and assumed the star Ted Williams would be retiring, put out an entire 80-card set of cards highlighting Ted Williams and illustrating his life both in and out of baseball. Williams decided late in the fall to resign for another year perhaps damaging the sets impact. Today these cards remain extremely popular with most of the cards in teh set still quite affordable.
There is one very rare card in this set, #68 picturing Ted with Bucky Harris.
UNFORTUNATELY Topps had Bucky Harris under exclusive contract and
Fleer had to quickly halt production of this card making it a significant
SHORT PRINT. Only a few made it out to the public. This card is quite rare,
hardly ever seen and a plain old simple checklist making it the perfect
candidate for counterfeiting. Other interesting cards are those that picture Ted with Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Sam Snead and Jim Thorpe. In addition, cards of Ted fishing or with his airplane are also very popular.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams baseball cards Checklist and Prices
1963 Fleer BaseballIn an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, Fleer issued their 1963 baseball cards with cookies instead of gum. It is commonly thought that the 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was intended to be a much larger set issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after their first series was released stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set from the market and cancelled their plans for the remaining series leaving this very, very popular set at just 66 cards plus one unnumbered checklist.But what a 66 cards !!! The 1963 Fleer Cards are attractive and feature an extremely high percentage of stars. Some of the top stars in the 1963 Fleer baseball card set are Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale and Warren Spahn.. The set also included 2 very scare Short Prints, Joe Adcock and an unnumbered checklist. The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card. Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his rookie card ! How is this possible ? Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy enough to have a baseball card. As hobby lore has it: Needless to say, Wills was very upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award, Topps quickly came a courting but Wills answered with a large "NO". From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making any of his baseball cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1962 set making that the earliest Maury Wills rookie card. Wills was also pictured on a special 1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. The card features Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag. Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "fued" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.

Paradis, Hixon to battle in final of NHGA Juniors
"It would mean a lot to me," said Paradis of Derryfield CC. He will meet Tom Hixon of Rye in an 18-hole match play championship flight challenge today at 7 a.m, at Campbell's Scottish Highlands Golf Course in Salem. The match will start on the 10th tee.
The 17-year-old Paradis, who will enter the fall as a senior at Central, where he has been three-year member of the golf team, reached the junior quarterfinals last year before losing to eventual champion Chelso Barrett of Keene.
"He beat Greenleaf, who is a very good player," said Paradis. "I played with Tom in three or four challenge cup tournaments. He's a short hitter and this course (in Salem) fits him well. I'm expecting a good match."
"I love the short course and I love playing match play and the strategy that goes into it," said Paradis. "At times you can be aggressive and if you don't have a good hole, you just move on to the next one."
"Then he won three straight holes, but I wasn't worried," said Paradis. "As long as I was shooting par, I knew I could keep the lead."
"I'll get to the course early with (Central teammate and caddy) Luciano (Osorio), hit some balls and be ready to go."

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you're an intelligent, extremely liberal person who enjoys going out on the weekends and being surrounded by people who have the same ideologies as you, then you'll most likely love Oberlin.
Bang for the buck Oberlin is a very expensive school, and even though I know I'm getting a great education while you're here, I don't think the school is using my $52,000 a year in a way that maximizes my college experience. The housing is only decent, the food is average to poor, and the amenities are only average. Personally, I feel as though my money is being wasted here.
Am enjoying being here I was surprised by how much marijuana and alcohol use I've encountered at Oberlin; there isn't necessarily pressure to use, but there aren't really any available social alternatives on the weekend. Also, people all seem to have fairly similar interests and tastes, which is fine if you're looking for like-minded people, but can be frustrating if you're interested in finding people with a diverse range of interests and ideas.
Am learning a lot All of my professors have been intelligent, articulate, and clearly enthusiastic about what they're teaching; they have all done a wonderful job of sharing their knowledge about the subject they're teaching.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students People who are very politically minded, environmentally concerned, interested in community service, musicians (the conservatory is one of the best in the country), neuroscience majors, writers, hippies, and just about everyone who likes to smile at strangers.
Tips for prospective students Stay overnight: you won't get a decent grasp on what the campus is like just hanging out for a few hours on a week day. Check out the Co-ops: Some people will tell you to avoid the Co-ops (especially Harkness) but its a great idea to go and see how they work and what they are all about. Talk to a lot of people: get as many perspectives on campus life as possible.
Bang for the buck The school isn't cheap. If you're in need of financial aid, you'll have plenty of opportunity to find it, it's just a matter of looking. Otherwise, what you experience and learn here is totally worth the somewhat hefty price tag.
Am enjoying being here The atmosphere on campus is amazing, especially if you are involved in the Co-op system. Living in a Co-op really sets you up with an incredible amount of connections to upperclassmen and people who are experienced with the campus. The campus itself is beautiful, and though Oberlin may seem like a small town in middle-of-nowhere-Ohio, the student body is really politically and socially active, making Oberlin a very exciting place to live.
Am learning a lot The range of what you can learn here is vast. I'm currently kicking it with the true liberal arts experience taking cinema classes, photography, computer programming, Literature courses, and still being able to find incredible opportunities to volunteer. Classes are small, so its easy to develop relationships with your professors and take much more from a class than you might on another campus.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students You must be open minded, Oberlin is a very progressive school that does not tolerate ignorance, racism, sexism, and any other negative ism! Also Oberlin students work hard and have fun in different ways--through art, music, sports, etc. So apply to Oberlin if you want to learn for the sake of learning and live for the sake of creating.
Tips for prospective students Make sure your essay is creative, Oberlin is a very difficult school to get into because they want unique people. Oberlin truly believes that its students can change the world because the students they select are not just in the top percentile in terms of academics but the students are already entrepreneurs, or go-getters in some way. I didn't have top SAT scores and I was in the top 25% of my class, so I had to stand out in other ways. You need to do the same!
Bang for the buck Oberlin is really expensive, mainly because it has the world renown professors, performers coming in, and opportunities for the students. However if you have financial need, Oberlin will meet it 100% and that is something that they guarantee.
Am enjoying being here There are so many wonderful opportunities, even as a freshman its easy to jump into some major things and make change! As a freshman I became a student senator and I joined a faculty committee that makes changes to the student policy! Also Oberlin paid for me and peers to go to Canada for a summit, and to other conferences that interested me around the midwest area. Oberlin the town is small, but there is a CHEAP movie theatre (like 4 dollars!), lots of great restaurants, and everything is walking distance.
Am learning a lot Oberlin has top professors, who are actually engaging. I have been invited over to my professors' houses for picnics, dinners, documentary watching nights, etc! At first you might think its strange that your teachers genuinely want to get to know you and want you to excel, but its not just because they want to look good. Professors at Oberlin are eager for students to come to their office hours, and if you can't they work around your schedule. There is a variety of classes, there are even experimental classes taught by students (Pokemon, gender and sexuality in Disney films, and knitting are just a few of the hundred or so options). Also if your high school didn't teach you basic study skills, or things you need to know to be a successful college student, Oberlin's Student Academic Services, will get you up to speed, with free tutors, or mini classes on how to read/study in college.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Safety does their job very well at Oberlin. As far as safety goes, there is very little to worry about on campus. The general sentiments of the college strive for peaceful community living. This contributes greatly to the safe environment at Oberlin. The generous lighting at night on frequently traveled pathways ensures a general feeling of safety. Although there have been minor incidents of theft, this is easily avoided by locking your door and keeping an eye on your belongings. In each case, campus safety is very intentional about informing students and keeping everyone safe. As far as security goes, Oberlin is in very good hands.
Greek Life Greek life is nonexistent in its traditional sense at Oberlin. However, the equivalent is found through Program Housing. These houses include Asia House, African Heritage House, Spanish House, French House, and other houses unique to a specific belief or culture. This community experience binds residents together through a similar background or conviction, and also serves as a great educational tool.
Clubs and Activities From musical theater, dance, sports, musical ensembles, community service, non-violence activists, anti-fracking, and Jewish community groups, Oberlin is not short in clubs and activities in any area. There is a plethora of opportunities and groups to be involved in which cover an extremely broad range of interests. The themes of sustainability, progressive tendencies, and active movements towards a better future are reflected in the student run clubs and activities. Perhaps one of the most interesting student contributions are through the Experimental College. This group offers courses for Pass/No Pass credit for all students. The classes range from knitting to dancing to kickboxing, and provide a unique blend of experiences. If for some reason you find a certain area lacking in student clubs, then start one up!!
Great for these types of students Oberlin is a great place for students looking to impact the future. One example of Oberlin's cutting edge tendencies is its participation in the Civil War as an underground railroad stop. In addition, Jerry of Ben and Jerry's was an Oberlin student, as well as the famous 20th century composer William Grant Still among many other famous musicians. Oberlin College is a great place for students interested in affecting their immediate environment positively, and contributing to the community. In addition, Oberlin Conservatory is widely considered one of the finest music institutions in the nation. With some of the best professors and coaches in the musical scene today, any serious musician ready for incredible challenges should strongly consider Oberlin.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Oberlin never ceases to surprise me with its truly unique characteristics and traditions. Oberlin is laced with unusual traditions from painting the 5 foot rocks in the campus square to the African Heritage House pledge recited at dinner each night. Oberlin College is a unique pocket of energy and development which results in very unique traditions which warm the environment and student life at Oberlin. If you are interested in understanding just how beautifully unique Oberlin is...schedule a visit!!
Bang for the buck Let's be honest...the buck at Oberlin is HUGE! However, the education matches. The commitment to the student is extremely clear. My private teacher gives above and beyond the requirements for his students with additional lessons each semester, and a technique class for each freshman. In addition, the guest lecturers and artists giving concerts are educationally and financially worth an incredible price. Oberlin Conservatory has more Steinway pianos than anywhere in the world excluding the Steinway factory. This speaks to the type of equipment and resources with which the students work. The Conservatory Library never ceases to amaze me with the unreal amount of resources it provides. In addition to this, the orchestra tours and experiences are included in tuition. This year's tour to NYC in January is of no cost to the students participating. Oberlin provides a plethora of resources, highly renown faculty and guests, and will bend over backwards to provide what you need for your learning experience. Although Oberlin's tuition is extraordinarily high, this price reflects the incredible experiences and opportunities that await its students.
What to do for fun Set in a lovely town, the Chinese, Lebanese, Mexican, American, and many other restaurants provide a lovely display of culture and delicious nights. In addition, the coveted Slow Train coffee shop always provides a cool hang out environment paired with delicious coffee and refreshments. The Oberlin Lanes bowling alley and the Apollo movie theater are both sources of inexpensive entertainment. The Oberlin College Art Museum is known as the second best college art museum in the nation next to Yale, and certainly lives up to its expectations. The incredible Conservatory always offers countless student, faculty, and guest artist performances. In addition, downtown Cleveland attractions are but 40 minutes away.
Food and Dining Oberlin's general views on sustainability and healthy living is clearly reflected in the food and dining. The dining services at Oberlin have a wide variety of mostly locally and organically grown foods. There are also generous options for vegetarians and vegans. There is always fresh fruit and a very complete salad bar at every meal. Different dining halls offer different unique choices, including a global expedition, and the ring of fire both of which offer a build-your-own special entree each day. In addition, there is always access to pizza, a sandwich bar, and a grill which includes burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries, etc. In addition, there is a lovely dining hall specifically offering comfort food which always provides a huge and dangerously delicious dessert assortment. Aside from the campus dining service, anybody may apply to be in a food cooperative, which in much less expensive and operates upon the collaborative help of all the members. This community food and cooking experience not only provides a great experience, it also serves as a great option for people with dietary restrictions or specific preferences.
Dorm Life Unfortunately, the housing at Oberlin is extremely expensive, and although there are some very nice dorms, there are also living spaces with very little to offer in terms of appeal. My dorm this year is quite old and quite dirty. However, it is not lacking in the least in terms of community and spirit. My dorm experience has been extremely enjoyable because of the work Oberlin puts towards providing community experiences within the dorm. Although it is not glamorous, it is certainly full of character. In addition, I have stepped into beautiful and very clean dorms on campus that would be just lovely to be a part of in every way. However, my honest assessment does have to reflect my lovely yet dirty, old, and expensive dorm experience. Oberlin students also have the option of living in a housing cooperative which is much less expensive and provides community living through the student run group, OSCA.
Academic Rigor There is no question that Oberlin is teeming with rigorous academics. As a conservatory student, I have never worked harder or been more challenged in my life. From observations of the college classes and personal experience in the conservatory, it is clear that Oberlin's curriculum is holistically designed to coincide with other classes in order to provide a complete understanding in your field of study. In addition, the classes are formatted to support individual thinking and personal development.
Tips for prospective students One of the most impressive features of Oberlin is the professors' genuine commitment to education and the individual. Whether you are looking at the college or conservatory, my number one suggestion is to schedule private meetings with the professors in the departments of interest to you, and learn about the things Oberlin has to offer which are specific to your goals. As a conservatory student, I would highly impress upon any conservatory prospectives to observe and take trial lessons with the teachers in which you are interested. Be sure to meet with the someone from the admissions office and ask specific questions, as well as of course taking a tour, staying overnight in a dorm, and observing classes.
In three sentences Located in a quaint secluded town, Oberlin College is a uniquely progressive Liberal Arts institution committed to equipping students with the tools and knowledge to affect their immediate environment positively. The affiliated Oberlin Conservatory provides extremely rigorous musical training under some of the most influential professors and guest lecturers, artists, and coaches in the current music scene. With a plethora of independent projects, student run classes, organizations, clubs, activities, and a wholehearted commitment to training and involvement, I could not recommend Oberlin more.

Categories Comments Tips for prospective students 1. Check out a co-op. 2. Stay overnight. 3. Do the interview. 4. Try to come with questions. (Don't just say tell me everything.) 5. Have fun! It's okay to actually engage in real conversations or go to events with students/other prospective students.
Bang for the buck If you can't tell from my first two paragraphs, Oberlin is pretty much worth the high cost. Great people, great education, and great atmosphere. Still, I can't give it 5 stars since I agree with many other Obies that the College could be a bit wiser (or at least more transparent) about spending. There are definitely a few things that I'm sure my student loans paid for that I wish they hadn't (because then I probably wouldn't have any student loans out). There's also a lot that I'm sure I'd be sad without, so I think 4 stars is appropriate.
Am enjoying being here By the end of my freshman year Oberlin became my home away from home. On top of enjoying fantastic professors, I've really come to love a lot of my peers. The friends I've made are all really fun, supportive, and (of course) intelligent. I can have conversations or go to events that I'd never have the chance to experience at home (despite being from a sizable city). Even the most annoying people on campus are often so well-meaning and articulate that debating with them isn't a total waste of time, but rather a good (albeit frustrating) learning experience.
Am learning a lot I'm not going to exaggerate and say that every professor on campus is awesome. Just like any other academic institution, there are some gems and some very shiny pieces of glass. However, the best professors aren't just good, they're fantastic! They challenge you to no end. And even if you don't grasp all of the material from the start, you'll definitely develop a good foundation by the end. As for the the handful of lackluster professors, they may not be the best at explaining things, but they are just as willing to find you help or be understanding if you're struggling as the better professors are. Outside of class I'm learning a lot as well. Being a member of the co-ops (student run housing and dining), I've become a better cook, learned about consensus based decision making, and have even developed some business skills as an officer and member of the co-op Board of Directors.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you love the free-spirited liberal lifestyle, enjoy random things such as Albino squirrels, riding bikes, and you love music then this school is for you. They have 3 great dining halls. i loved the pizza and fries yummy. Oberlin caters to vegans and vegetarians also. The Sco and the library are pretty awesome hang out spots. Hopefully I will be at Oberlin Class of 2015!
Will learn a lot I visited Oberlin on the Multicultural Visit Program, and from what I saw the professors were great!The classes were fun and engaging also. I attended a Japanese class, Biology class, Statistics, and an Arabic class. I had the honor of talking to a Biology professor. I felt comfortable with all their teaching skills and they made me feel included in the classes.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who have always had a unique streak about them. Want to try completely crazy new things. Want to be surrounded by incredibly open-minded, extraordinary people.
Tips for prospective students Do the Oberlin interview! The interview told me so much more than the website or pamphlets could have. Also, if and when you choose to prospie (visit the school and stay overnight), be vocal about what you are interested in doing or seeing. Don't just do whatever your host does. Sometimes hosts are lazy, but trust me, there are PLENTY of people at the school who will be super excited to adopt you and show you all Oberlin has to offer.
Bang for the buck Everyone complains about how ridiculously overpriced Oberlin is. I would agree with that to a point, but financial aid is somewhat easy to come by. Scholarships abound throughout the school year from different student organizations, and the financial aid office is very open to helping its students with financial difficulty. Also, with less expensive living options like used books, co-ops, and the free store, you can cut down on the price of college a lot.
Am enjoying being here Oberlin is such an amalgamation of different kinds of people that it's honestly nearly impossible for someone not to find the others they vibe with. I know Oberlin is known for having a particularly liberal or hipster image (whatever that means), but that's definitely not the majority of students. There's not a majority, if you ask me. If you think you won't vibe with the character of Oberlin, just find your people, and you totally will. Not only that, but Oberlin is all about meeting people you didn't even know existed or thought you would ever be friends with. It's amazing how nurturing Oberlin's community is for that.
Am learning a lot The professors I have had the pleasure of learning from, working with, and hanging out with have been exceptional. The small size of Oberlin really fosters an awesome rapport between students and faculty. There are large, lecture-hall style courses, as well as very small discussion seminar courses. In both, professors are very easily approachable and always eager to not just help with questions, but talk about their work or anything else that you might think of during office hours!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Oberlin uses the blue light system that a lot of colleges use and requires swipe cards to gain access to any residential building. There is very little crime.
Greek Life Oberlin doesn't have Greek Life, which is generally considered a positive thing among students.
Clubs and Activities Even though Oberlin is a small school, there seems to be a club or activity for everyone.
Great for these types of students Oberlin is great for liberal and/or open-minded students who care about the world around them.
Bang for the buck Oberlin is very expensive, like most small, private colleges. But it's also a really good school. The answer to this question really depends on the individual's value of money as compared to other things though.
Food and Dining It's absurdly expensive, but the co-ops provide a good alternative to traditional dorms. Many upper-classmen also live in village housing, which is an independent apartment or house.
Dorm Life Some of the larger dorms with no themes or other special characteristics don't have much in the way of community, but there are a lot of program houses, theme halls (such sci-fi hall and classics hall) and co-ops which have good community.
Academic Rigor Oberlin is a school that challenge its students academically while simultaneously engaging them. The professors are generally great and will work with you as needed. Students may stay up late studying and writing papers, but that's because they care about what they're doing.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Safety and Security does it's best to protect the students here at Oberlin. Students do have to do their best to make good choices for themselves as well though, and they try. Act responsibly.
Clubs and Activities Sports aren't the best; but we try. The athletic department does it's best to offer a wide range of activities for student participation. Whether you like basketball, rugby, or martial arts, there's something out there for you here.
Great for these types of students Unique. I cannot stress enough how diverse this school is. You will notice qualities in students that you have never been exposed to in your life. And outgoing; don't be afraid to put yourself out there.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Nothing that goes on here is unusual to an Obie. However nothing about an Obie is quite ordinary either. This college is so unique. From hipsters to jocks to genius. We have it all. Oh, and not many people where shoes..
Bang for the buck College is expensive theses days, and Oberlin is no exception. Though here you are guaranteed to be challenged and pushed to higher limits. You also develop a network of contacts that you wouldn't be able to meet pretty much anywhere else. The schools has a remarkable academic reputation, sending a high rate of graduates on to earn PhD's and earn great accolades. Worth every penny.
What to do for fun There's actually a dance club open to Oberlin students, the Sco', that plays various genres of music during the week and throughout the weekend that is great for a group of friends. The school also hosts various socials where students can interact throughout the year. Also you can participate in various recreational activities on campus: bowling, basketball, swimming, and a lot more. There's always something to do on campus!
Food and Dining The food is very good, and although it sometimes gets repetitive, they do a nice job at changing it up every now and then. And the school has a large population of vegans/vegetarians here. The school does really well at accommodating all of the students choices and desires here. The staff is actually great too, with many being students, the crew is very friendly and productive.
Dorm Life There is like a bubble here, but it's not a bad thing. It's a pretty small school, but there is always something going on here. I live in a Program House here and it's great because there is such a strong sense of community among all of the students who live in the program housing dorms.
Academic Rigor I came from a public high school in the same county (Lorain). I pushed myself in high school, but here I realized you can never be too prepared. Especially being surrounded by so many talented and gifted students.
Tips for prospective students Put yourself out there. Stretch your limits, don't be afraid to push yourself as far as you can go. And be yourself; every student has something unique about their personality that makes them stand out from everyone else.
In three sentences What a life changing college experience. Here I feel challenged and exposed to so much diversity. I learn so much, from the classroom to the campus, I am enlightened everywhere I go here.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The town is safe, and it's a small knit community, so crime is virtually zero here.
Greek Life Non-existent
Clubs and Activities Any club that you want is here, and if for some reason it's not, it's the easiest thing in the world to start one here.
Great for these types of students Enthusiastic, capable, intelligent, involved in a lot of different activities, fun loving and caring, to name a few things.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The naked library run at finals, painting the rock on Tappan Square, the obsession with the albino squirrels, the Art Rental Program ($5 will get you a professional painting from the museum for the semester).
Bang for the buck I only give this three stars because there's so much buck involved at Oberlin. There are lots of amazing opportunities that you won't find anywhere else, but the tuition is very high, and this rating shows just how many great things there are by even going this high
What to do for fun Depends on the type of person you are: dancers can take dancing classes or go to the 'sco (the Oberlin club), those who like to party can choose from any number of them on any given night, those who love music can choose from 500 concerts a year. There's honestly far too much to do at Oberlin, time management becomes an issue. But you'll never be bored, I promise!
Tips for prospective students Buy a calendar! Time management is absolutely crucial to survive in a difficult academic environment, but showing that you care will help professors and advisers help you in this process. A emphasis on caring about others around you will help greatly in your application process.
In three sentences A fantastic culture of tolerance that works to promote ideas from all areas of the world. Every opportunity is available to any student; nothing is shut off, and this all comes from a school that manages to maintain a great class ratio. There is also a huge emphasis on environmental awareness and a lot of amazing buildings to visit.

Great for these types of students If you ever felt like you didn't belong If you wonder about living ethically and sustainably If you like to cook If you like to learn If you like to listen to music made by friends If you like rain If you like hanging out more than clubbing
What to do for fun Hang out with some of the most amazing people you'll ever meet.
Food and Dining The co-op system is my favorite thing about Oberlin. But it won't work for everyone. Whether or not you are in a co-op, there are great vegetarian/vegan/soy free/dairy free/nut free options, and pretty good gluten free options as well.
Dorm Life I have heard dorm life in some of the dorms is less than exciting, but my experiences with the freshman dorms and co-ops has been extremely positive. I feel as though I gained a family just by living where I did.
Academic Rigor Although not as competitive as other schools, Oberlin is still a hard school! People seem carefree and everyone is involved in 10000 extracurriculars and clubs, so it's easy to forget that everyone is also studying their butts off when you're not around to watch them perform in their band or circus show.
Tips for prospective students Don't give up even though highschool is exhausting and at times boring. Grades are important, but it will all be worth it. Write an amazing essay and do things that you are genuinely interested it. There is nothing worse than doing things just to put them on a college application, Oberlin does not value cookie cutter students.
In three sentences Oberlin College is the best decision I have ever made. The people are fantastic, the classes are fantastic, the vibe is fantastic. If you ever felt like you didn't fit in, Oberlin will prove that you do have a tribe and they are called Obies.

Greek Life None, and for the better
Clubs and Activities Great, lots of different sports as well as arts activities.
Great for these types of students Anyone who is interested in progressive thinkers. People who want to change the world.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Don't go under the archway until you graduate.
Bang for the buck It is definitely a great school. A little pricey and that is the main issue I have with Oberlin at the moment.
What to do for fun Lots of clubs as well as other student organizations to join and stay active with your peers. There are also various types of events on campus all the time for you to do.
Food and Dining Food is excellent compared to other colleges. Only problem is that it becomes quite repetitive.
Dorm Life Many of the dorms are coed. And contain coed showers and bathrooms. It may seem weird at first, but you'll get over it.
Academic Rigor Be prepared for a rigorous academic requirements. It will require a lot of preparation and therefore be careful not to fall behind.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to visit. This is very important as the atmosphere of the campus takes some time to get accustomed to. No doubt you would like to meet your classmates or the type of people you will be with for the next 4 years.
In three sentences It is an excellent school for a liberal arts education. If you're looking for an engaging academic atmosphere as well as intelligent peers, this is a great pick. Also a great choice for a small school in a rural setting.

Greek Life No greek life at Oberlin, but we like it that way.

Great for these types of students A nerdy passionate intellectual who wants to have an impact on the world and isn't afraid to dream. Also hipsters or anyone who's never fit in anywhere else.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Safer Sex Night is fantastic.
Bang for the buck Definitely. But it is true that Oberlin is a bit pricey.
What to do for fun Have deep and nerdy conversations about anything and everything. If you like to debate touchy issues such as race, gender, or class, this is the school for you.
Food and Dining Stevie's is great, but if you don't jive with it, food co-ops are the way to go.
Dorm Life While at times Dorm Life may feel pretty impersonal, the atmosphere is calm and private ���¢�������� meaning, you can do whatever you want and no one's going to bother you too much about it.
Academic Rigor It's set just right; hard enough that you need to put in some time and pay attention in class, but not so much that your social life is crushed. Besides, professors are always available and willing in case you find a class particularly tough.
Tips for prospective students If you come to this school with an open mind and an open heart you'll fall in love.
In three sentences This college will open your mind and shift your paradigm. You will be exposed to world class art (Oberlin Conservatory and Creative Writing Department, etc.) You will be exposed to wonderfully diverse community that champions social justice.

Clubs and Activities Music life is great, very interactive campus and student body.
Great for these types of students Musicians! Definitely musicians, as a musician I was very pleased at this aspect of Oberlin.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Nothing too unusual from what I saw besides the Oberlin Phoenix!!
Bang for the buck Very much worth the tuition from what I've seen.
What to do for fun Walk around, enjoy the nature! Much more besides this though.
Food and Dining Fairly nice area around to eat stuff.
Dorm Life Seems clean and nice.
Academic Rigor They are serious here, and that should be expected when applying.
Tips for prospective students Definitely don't think anything less than greatness when you think of this small town in Ohio because it is much more.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe! Being in a small town, with a tight knit student body and good security, I have not yet felt unsafe.
Greek Life There is no greek system.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Oberlin is a very liberal school, right? Well, after Obama won the election, much of the student body gathered in Tappan Square and held an impromptu dance party to celebrate.
Bang for the buck It is an incredibly expensive school, but I have already learned so much, and made so much progress, that I would say it's worth it.
What to do for fun Go to dances or concerts at the 'Sco, take a walk over to the Arboretum, go see the kittens at the Ginko Gallery, see a concert at the Conservatory
Food and Dining The food is not the best at Oberlin, but you can usually find something to eat at major dining halls like Stevie, which is buffet style. A-House, or African House, which is the most delicious food, in most people's opinions.
Dorm Life As a freshman, living in a FYRE (Freshman Year Residential Experience) dorm has been a great choice. There is such a sense of community in these dorms - most of my closest friends are on my floor, which is very fun and convenient.
Academic Rigor Classes are very difficult at Oberlin, but the quality of the professors makes it both reasonable and worthwhile. My teachers have created interest in subjects I was not previously interested in, and greatly increased my knowledge of subjects I considered myself expert at. There is a constant stream of assignments and reading, but none are wastefully given.
In three sentences Oberlin is work-hard, play-hard by definition. During the week, everyone dedicates to their studies, but during the weekend, there are tons of events, from dances to seminars to concerts, you can attend to wind down and have some fun. The academic rigor is a rewarding challenge, as the teachers are of great quality, but you do get to live a little as an Oberlin student.

Categories Comments Campus Safety It's pretty safe considering that most of the town is the college. However, things do happen, it's not a bubble in which nothing bad happens.
Greek Life None.
Clubs and Activities Almost everything ever. There are entirely too many to list.
Great for these types of students Hipsters, quirky, queer in any sense of the word, and the very liberal.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Oberlin has an arboretum that is really fun to hang out in and there's an organ pump once a month in the chapel and you get to lay on the stage and feel the vibrations. There are also Rocky Horror showings twice a year if anyone is into that.
Bang for the buck It costs a lot but it's pretty worth it.
What to do for fun There is a notoriously bad club in the basement of the student union and there are always a lot of parties. If that isn't your style, there's a movie theater, an observatory, numerous conservatory concerts, and usually some form of show whether it be Ocircus or a play/musical. It's really hard to be bored on campus.
Food and Dining For how much Oberlin costs the food is terrible. It is mostly vegetarian and even the vegetarian options aren't particularly good. The food is edible at best but there are a lot of pretty good restaurants within walking distance of the school. There are also plenty of places, including a grocery store to get food if you don't want dining hall food.
Dorm Life Most of the dorms are pretty nice. The bathrooms are decent and generally it isn't disgusting until the other residents mess it up.
Academic Rigor It's not the most difficult school in the world but they push you hard and you will lean a ton.
Tips for prospective students If you're not from a place that gets a ton of rain/snow, be prepared. You will definitely need rain boots/snow boots and a good winter coat.
In three sentences Oberlin is not nearly as diverse as it like to say it is. It is quite frankly full of posers who think they are everything that they are not. With that being said, despite the slightly terrible people, the academics are fantastic.

Categories Comments Campus Safety My favorite thing about security on this campus is their policy on safety while drinking. They will crack down on drinking if it is happening and poor decisions are being made, but if a student who has been drinking calls safety and security to alert them to a situation in which someone's health is a concern, they will not press the issue of drinking with that student or any others who were involved. The idea behind this is that it is better to have safe students than to let someone die of alcohol poisoning because students were too scared to fess up that they've been drinking.
Clubs and Activities I don't know about 'clubs' per say, but the sci-fi themed hall is brilliant at acting like a huge fan club over almost anything nerdy.
Great for these types of students Hippies, hipsters, preps, liberals.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a statue on the second floor of the main science building. This statue is regularly dressed up by the students for different times of year.
Bang for the buck While quite expensive, Oberlin is the best school around that's not the Ivy Leagues (which are even more expensive and don't offer financial aid). Oberlin is a well known school, so that when you tell people you got your degree from Oberlin, nine times out of ten they will be impressed.
What to do for fun In a theme hall, there are almost always activities happening that (in most cases) anyone is welcome to join in on. If that doesn't suit your fancy though, walk out side with at least one friend and a Frisbee, and I guarantee at least two other people will join you. The entire campus is friendly and welcoming.
Food and Dining The main dining hall, Stevenson, has food that is quite bland most of the time but occasionally scores a 10/5 with a dish, but it is the space (outside of co-ops) that has the most vegetarian/vegan options on campus, and second most vegetarian/vegan options in the country, not to mention the fact that it's all you can eat. Because of the bland flavor though, many students choose to eat at the other, smaller, cafeteria style dining hall in Dascomb, or in one of the many varied co-ops, which are always guaranteed palate pleasers, but require help with cooking or washing.
Dorm Life There are three different varieties of dorms on campus: Traditional, themed, or co-op. Traditional housing is just like every other dorm in the american collegiate system. You can get a single, double, or quad with your choice of roommate(s), and you can live there for the semester or the academic year. The RA's may schedule events, but for the most part are just there to keep you safe. In themed living however, the RA's are much more likely (in fact, practically required) to schedule events based around the theme of the hall or house. In these halls, the students have a much closer bond with each other and their RA's. The last type of living, co-ops, are a completely different animal. In co-ops, the college doesn't provide you with anything except for the building, heating, plumbing, and electricity. The members of the co-op come up with everything else, including food. In this lifestyle, you are the most connected with your fellows because you all work together in order to live together.
Academic Rigor The courses at Oberlin are all very challenging in their own way as their primary purpose is to improve upon your existing skill level. If you ever find yourself falling short in a class, you may talk with the professor of the course and your academic adviser over the many options to help you succeed. Alternatively, if you feel ahead in a class (which rarely happens) you can talk to the professor of the next level class, and see if you can audit the course. by auditing that course, you may be applicable to move to the next level course for credit next semester. In short, Oberlin will always find the right place for you and make sure that you feel challenged while succeeding.
Tips for prospective students In order to get accepted at Oberlin, you have to be top notch, or show them how much you want to be top notch. You also have to show them that you are well rounded, and passionate about your choice of school. The easiest way to do this is to make multiple visits to the college, and talk with the admissions people. Also, don't worry too much about the cash: Oberlin's need based grants are very well implemented so that you'll never be paying something outside of your price range.
In three sentences A small liberal arts school with large political ambitions, Oberlin is a school that continually produces leaders on numerous subjects and topics. Many of the teachers have written books that are the standard for teaching their subject nationwide, and they keep good track of how their words fall on their students with most professors handing out hand-made surveys at the end of each semester to improve themselves. Speaking of improving themselves, that's exactly the goal that every Oberlin student has come for, and the vast majority of them find their way wonderfully.

Categories Comments Campus Safety From my experience, I think that campus is pretty safe compared to where I live in my city. However, I do not think it is safe to travel at night by yourself, still take precaution.
Clubs and Activities I Think that there are club and organizations that fit each student. As a first year, be willing to explore things that you did not in High School. We tend to change without noticing it. So get out and do various different things.
What to do for fun Go to open mic nights, Oberlin has some really cool artists that are just amazing. Go bowling with a group of friends, it is fun just make sure you don't hit anyone with a bowling ball (I accidentally dropped a bowling ball). If you like to go out and party, go and have fun- drink responsibly. Go to different lectures, sometimes you can see if you like a professor before attending one of their classes. Go to Ginko's Art gallery and pet a few kittens. Go to Slow Train and eat a spinach, pepperoni, or turkey and herb croissant with a friend and do some homework. Keep your eyes open for events by clubs and organizations on campus like Drag Ball, Speed Dating, Fashion Shows, and much more.
Food and Dining Food and Dining, again, depends on the person's needs and wants. At home, I was having a terrible time finding different foods to eat on my new diet- I stopped eating pork and beef-, however, I school I found it easier to eat. Also, I liked the fact that I was exposed to different foods that I have never tried before. Do not be afraid to eat different foods or pair foods together, if you are afraid you will only be eating hamburgers and french fries until you go home. I think Oberlin fails at making different ethnic foods, I do not think it is fair to make a traditional dish if another culture and make it horribly wrong. So if you come from a traditional (insert race/ethnic group), do not expect the food to be exactly like home.
Dorm Life Dorm life depends on the person and their needs.I lived in an all freshman dorm. So, I did not like my dorm living as much as others because there was no sense of community- there was a clique of people who liked each other, and they normally got away with a lot of horrible things. I did not like that students were getting horribly drunk on the weekend and leaving the bathroom messy, I'm sure if we had a community in that dorm those things would not have happened as often. Community is very important so that everyone can consider one another's needs.
Academic Rigor To most people rigor means, how difficult is the work. For myself here at Oberlin, Rigor means is what I am learning challenging what I have always known to be true in life. I think my Oberlin Professors has helped me to view different aspects of society in a different light, which was very difficult for me to change. However, the more I learned the more I begin to question what I thought was true and what is actually true.
Tips for prospective students Go talk to your professors during their office hours! Do you automatically join a clique the first year because everyone else is doing so. Find other people to talk to that are not freshman. Find a safe space on campus to vent about your problems. Please go to a school psychologist if you need someone to talk to about your problems, they can help you deal with anxiety about leaving home.
In three sentences Oberlin College can fit the needs of every different students. The college has a thriving student body that is willing to make accommodations for each students, however, every students must be willing to commit to expressing themselves openly. The college is located in a cool little town that is another community for students to be active in.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Giant rocks around campus that anyone can decorate. Naked run in the library right before finals. (optional obviously) Lots of music and arts. Albino squirrel (Unofficial) mascot
Bang for the buck Socially, very diverse and totally different than any other college. However, I feel that if I hadn't gotten a huge scholarship I would not have gone here. Not needs blind but does cover 100% of demonstrated need which is very helpful IF you can get in despite being a low-income student.
What to do for fun Go to one out of a million musical events, plays, sports games, poetry slams, parties, jam out with people.
Food and Dining Ask someone about the co-op system -- sometimes a hit or miss but always affordable. I've been happily fed here.
Dorm Life (based on Freshman dorm) If you're a first year, apply to live in Kahn. Newest and nicest dorm. Dascomb is a nice location, Barrows is gross and far away. Co-op system is very affordable and the language houses are also a draw.
Academic Rigor Very rigorous but always fun learning.
Tips for prospective students Spend an overnight and get in touch with someone who is currently at the school.
In three sentences Oberlin is a very musical and artistic campus -- there is always something to go to or do on the weekends and even weekdays. There is a lot of work and studying is very important to the students, but like any college campus the students make time for fun. Difficult to get off campus but the downtown is very nice.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is, for the most part,rather safe.
Clubs and Activities Sports clubs at Oberlin are very weak. I assume most of the best athletes simply go to Ohio state, and the remainders go to Oberlin. No major activities during the year unless you are a big fan of classical music - in which case there are fairly frequent performances by reputable names. No other major concerts anywhere near the college.
Great for these types of students - Pro LGBT - Sci-fi fanatics (nerds?) - conservatory students
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Tappan Square features Albino squirrels
Bang for the buck This is one of the most expensive colleges in the country, but it is difficult to understand why this is so. I personally am very discontent with the college considering the cost.
What to do for fun The 'Sco' is bar/ dancehall/ concert hall. It's the central social point on campus. Theater and classical music productions occur fairly regularly during the semester. You otherwise create your own fun with your peers.
Food and Dining Meal plans are very expensive and do not roll over so you have to use all your weekly meals or else you lose them. Students are required to sign up for a meal plan so you won't be able to simply pay as you eat. Some days are better than other but as a whole the meals are nothing special taste-wise and variety is somewhat lacking. The dining halls actually shut down over the breaks even with students remaining on campus, so even though you're paying that much for food, you'll have to fend for yourself over the breaks. This will be difficult if you're a low income students as grocery shopping isn't very cheap in town. There are 3 dining halls on campus. During lunch hours seating can be difficult to find and lines are rather long. You can also choose to dine at a co-op as an alternative. These are run by students who work together to make their own meals.
Dorm Life Some dorms are much better than others. Most dorms are very basic and there is often inadequate heating during the winter and no cooling systems during the summer. Getting into one of the better dorms is very difficult.
Academic Rigor Requirements for graduation are a bit much and will require you to do quite a bit of work outside your major and probably outside your comfort zone.
Tips for prospective students - Meal plans don't roll over - No public transportation - Dining halls close during breaks - 2 semesters + a 1 month 'Winter Term' per year
In three sentences Small, liberal arts college at the center of a small town. Very expensive but not really worth the cost. Very strong conservatory.

Results vs. NYiT (2007-03-15 15:30:00)
March 15, 2007
Old Westbury, N.Y. - The #4 NYIT men's lacrosse team out-scored the Pfeiffer 17-5 over the final three quarters en route to a 22-9 non-conference victory this afternoon.
Chuck Batchelor's unassisted goal with 6:05 remaining in the first quarter put Pfeiffer on the scoreboard, and the Falcons would score four of the next six goals over the final 6:05 to trail just 5-4 heading in to the second quarter. The Falcons took advantage of two Bears penalties, with Shawn Cross and Chad Olsen each scoring man-up goals. The Bears turned the tables and dominated the second quarter scoring all six goals and the defense shut-out the Falcon's, limiting them to just two shots.
Batchelor scored the first goal of the third quarter to make it 11-5, but Flowers and Carino scored just :16 seconds apart at 12:52 and 12:36 to give the Bears a 13-5 lead. After Eddie Gourley scored for the Falcons with just over seven minutes left in the third, the Bears reeled off seven unanswered goals spanning the third and fourth quarters to give NYIT a 20-6 lead.
Gourley led the Falcons with a game-high five points on two goals and three assists and Batchelor and Olsen each chipped in with two goals and an assist.

Hi all!
I just joined the club and thought I would share a project I am starting, scratch building USS Greenling (SSN-614). This will be my first ever scratch build attempt so it's likely to be a long bumpy ride. It will also be a long one as I am both busy and am in the middle of converting a 350 scale USS Missouri to USS Wisconsin.
The inspiration for the model comes from my friend, Travis Coley, who served on Greenling in the early 70's. I have looked at several options, the 1/700 JAG WL kit, the 1/700 OKB Grigorov Thresher class kit, which I bought, and the 1/350 scale Micro-Mir Thresher, that I am considering buying. I first considered a diorama with USS Fulton (AS-11), but Travis wasn't too crazy about the Fulton so he didn't really want a dio with her. I then considered recreating an 11" x 17" print of the Permit/ Thresher class subs, in 3D using models. I still have not ruled this out, but I am really getting into the idea of scratch building Greenling so the 3D print may have to go on the back burners.
The option to scratch build Greenling became a reality when I acquired a good set of plans for Permit. Even though Greenling is 13.75' longer than Permit, and has a larger sail, I think the Permit plans, with some modifications can be used to build a decent Greenling. The advantage of scratch building is that I can make it whatever size I want. Travis has indicated that he would like the model to be about 2' long. If I build it in 1/150 scale, it will be just under 2' long, which I think is a good size, not too big, not too small. The disadvantage of scratch building is that I think it will be a lot of work and I will definitely be doing something I have never done before. Still, I think it will be a fun challenge.
So, here is what I have done so far…
I started by importing the Permit drawings into AutoCad, and scaling them. I then traced the "Hull Sections" and copied them to the corresponding stations on the plan view. The alignment was good, so I traced the hull and sail outlines as well.
Since Greenling is 13.75' longer than Permit, I then "stretched" the Permit hull by clipping it just aft of the sail and moving the end to 292.25'. I then adjusted the hull sections as needed and reconnected the hull outline. I left the sail as it was for now.
The next thing I did was import the Thresher/Permit print into AutoCad and scale it. I then copied the tracings of Permit and Greenling over the top of the corresponding sub on the print. Note that the length of Thresher matches pretty well, even though the alignment is slightly off due to the print not being square. The sail is spot on, as is the Thresher, which is really encouraging.
Now, since whoever created the print got the ship lengths correct and got the sail on Permit right, I assumed that they also got the sail on Greenling right. I therefore traced the sail on the Greenling print, and copied it to the Greenling plan.
The next thing I did was make templates for the "spine" and "ribs" for the hull. The spine has 1/8" slots cut in it at the hull section stations, to accommodate the ribs. Similarly, the ribs have 1/8" slots in them to fit onto the spine.
I'm not yet sure what material I will use for this, but it could be either 1/8" plastic or wood. I am also still unsure what material I will use for the shell, but I am currently leaning toward styrene.
More to follow soon…

WineAccess Travel Log
Read stories from the world's greatest wine trails.
The Malbec grape may have originated in southwest France, where it still is grown under the name Cot. However, the grape's international profile has surged not because of what's going on in France, but rather because of current trends in Argentina.
Malbec came to Argentina in the late nineteenth century, before the Phylloxera epidemic punished European vineyards, necessitating grafting of fruiting wood onto rootstocks that aren't native to Europe. In Argentina, which was never subject to the epidemic, most of these vines are not grafted. Instead, vines grow on their own roots. But if escaping the blight of Phylloxera provided a start, the key reasons for the recent emergence of the grape are improvements both to viticulture and vinification.
Argentine producers have dramatically cut yields and replaced large old wood casks with oak barriques. They've taken more care in selecting appropriate planting sites, developing cooler, high altitude vineyards that benefit from warm days and cool nights. International consultants have arrived, too, imparting up-to-date knowledge about vinification techniques as well as a sense of what style of wines compete successfully in the international wine market.
Some are critical of this trend, arguing that it leads to homogenization of wine styles. Maybe so, but we still feel that some of these improvements are certainly welcome, for the best Malbecs are polished, structured, and concentrated, but still showcase the local terroir. The results are clear: Malbec was once produced almost entirely for the domestic marketplace, but now bottles marked $50 dollars or higher sell briskly in the international marketplace. But you need not spend that much money for a solid example of this varietal: there are plenty of compelling and satisfying wines in the $15-25 dollar range.
With these wines, you can expect deep red colors and intense flavors, with notes of blackberry, plum, leather, and pepper. Many have the necessary structure to age for a decade or more. We've been impressed with wines from Vina Alicia, Val de Flores, and Terrazas de los Andes.
Argentina is known as much for its grass-fed beef as it is for its red wines. The affinity between the two is more than just geographical-- with its robust tannins, Malbec makes a natural partner for steak.

Giordana EXO Shoecover

Trevor J
Tight fit so you can go fast!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
LOVE Giordana's EXO system offerings top to bottom, and the shoe covers are no exception. They've really designed a phenomenal system for compression gear and super tight means super fast. Surprisingly, the durability has been exceptional as well and the white cleans up quick. Can't ask for too much more.

This bag is absolutely wonderful. The leather is good quality, the small gold monogram extremely classy, and the color is classic and perfect for summer for a professional woman. I can fit my usual pouches for daily use, as well as the occasional iPad or Macbook Air. I could not be more pleased.
This beautiful bag is perfectly sized. The leather is luxuriously soft, and the color compliments nearly all of my outfits. I love the large slip pockets. I carry it for work, and my tablet fits in it nicely. Highly recommend!
I love purchasing tenure gifts for our employees from Leatherology! The product is beautifully presented when it arrives and the quality is impeccable! Thanks for the wonderful service and always being so reliable.
My review title says it all. Everything I buy from Leatherology is better than expected and the colors are all fantastic. Thank you Leatherology
This was absolutely perfect for what I wanted and fit the need to a T. Thanks for a great product.
Love it.
The leather and roominess of this tote is lovely and rich. My only disappointment is there is no zipper, nor magnets. I have bought many items from Leatherology and have always been more than satisfied with their quality of design. Not with this purchase. I emailed Leatherology and they worked out a compromise. Hopefully they will soon add zippered Totes.
I was so excited to get my tote bag. The box arrived a day early, kudos! I opened the outer box and there was an inner box wrapped in kraft paper with a seal. Opened the paper and found a beautiful embossed box with a pretty black bow. (Presentation is lovely) I opened the box and found my beautiful leather tote bag. It is supple and soft and smells wonderful. The red color is rich and fully saturated, the monogram was perfectly placed. I opened the tote to find the lining generously added, pockets fully sewn and ample sized for a cell phone, wallet and more. I am so very pleased with this purchase that I am sure to recommend this site to my friends and maybe even purchase a gift for one of them. Like Arnold Schwartzenegger said, "I'll be back"!!
I purchased this tote for my wife and she LOVE IT! the bright purple is exactly what make her day...great quality and good price.
The packaging was so pretty, I save the ribbon cause it's so pretty, the material was soft to think that it's a full grain. Thank you
Perfect!! Everything I have ever ordered has been fabulous!
The quality in this bag is everything that I hoped for. The softness and suppleness of the leather is what I wanted. It has perfect pockets. However, (don't you just hate that word?), I was hoping the sides and bottom would been a little stiffer so that the bag could stand up somewhat. I plan on inserting a stiff plastic sheet in the bottom but will leave the sides as they are because I do not want to harm the leather. The size is pretty good but a 3-4 inches wider would be better. The depth is good. The handles could be about 2-3 inches longer. I know I'm asking for the ultimate bag. Sorry! Your bag comes the closest to what I wanted. I even returned a similar Coach bag because it just didn't cut it. I could have ordered the exact thing and paid over $600 ... not happening. I will be happy to refer my friends to your site. Great quality and service! Colleen
This was the color of lilacs, beautiful. Loved the softness of the leather and the generous interior. I bought the checkbook cover of the same color for a friend's birthday last year. She loved it. This bag is this year's birthday gift. I know she will be thrilled.
Gorgeous color!! Love the way it feels, soft and supple. Beautiful packaging which was a surprise. As this was a gift for a special friend that was a bonus!
Generous size, nice color, soft supple leather.
I got this bag as an early xmas gift so I could use it for traveling. It is amazing. It fits so much stuff. I was able to keep about 5 board books for my daughter, my ipad, a few magazines, and the usual wallet, phone, chapstick etc. The zipper pouch on the side and 2 side pockets are really helpful. The straps are sewn on really well so I was never worried about overloading it. Love, love, love it!
This is a great tote my wife loves it!
This bag a beautiful. The packaging was beautiful too. I bought this for my son's girlfriend hoping and I was beyond pleased! I ordered it in black the leather and would have loved to get a color! Would order again without hesitation.
I love this tote! Great quality leather and well made. One suggestion: Add brass "feet" to the bottom to protect the leather. My only problem is wanting another color! Thank you, Betty Adams
This is with out a doubt the best carry all bag I ever bought my wife. She absolutely loves it.
Great product
Due to the size of this item, it is not available for traditional gift packaging. However, it will arrive in a pouch or drawstring bag packaged in a logo kraft box.

Pastor' Column: How to achieve dizzying greatness this Christmas (without alcohol)
True greatness isn't to be found according the usual standards and methods of the world. What most people associate with greatness, particularly spiritual greatness, isn't actually greatness at all, but a wicked and damnable self-righteousness. True greatness in the eyes of God, rather, is found when a person sees himself or herself in light of God's perfection and banks completely on Christ instead of any supposed inherent goodness.In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus told a story about a Pharisee, a respected teacher of God's law who seemingly had it all together, and a tax collector, a universally-hated servant of the Roman government who overcharged everybody. The Pharisee approached God in prayer and thanked God that he wasn't a common "sinner" like everybody else. He pointed out all the seemingly good things he did as proof, such as giving contributions to the temple.In contrast, the tax collector wouldn't even come very close to the normal place of prayer, but stood far off and lowered his eyes. He didn't compare his righteousness to others but went straight to the real standard: God's righteousness. In that light, he saw that he didn't measure up but could only humbly cry out for God to be merciful to him. "This man," Jesus said, rather than the squeaky-clean law-expert Pharisee, "went down to his house justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."This is a constant theme in Jesus' teaching. He turns the values of the world upside down. True leadership, Jesus taught, is seen in selfless service to others. (John 13:12-20) Let others praise and compliment you, rather than positioning yourself as a great and gifted person. (Luke 14:7-11) Those who are blessed by God are the poor in spirit, the meek, the mourning, the persecuted, i.e., those who understand that they are spiritually needy. (Matthew 5:3-12) The last shall be first and the first shall be last when God's kingdom comes in fullness. (Matthew 19:30)So maybe this Advent season, we all could stand to bring ourselves down a few notches. We tend to think and act as though we are a big screaming deal. Reflecting on Jesus' own humility (The Son of God came as a baby to poor parents in a backwoods corner of the known world!) can help us gain or regain a more accurate picture of who we are and who we're called to be. And maybe you've never yielded yourself to God like the tax collector did in Jesus' story. Jesus stands ready to receive and save you. He loves to answer the desperate cry for mercy. He is all mercy. You will find that, paradoxically, the way to truest greatness is through admitting your lowliness before God.

So, where's the "why" that you promised in the title? I'm just seeing a distribution of graphics related bugs over some modules over time (the latter being pointless without a constant user number, IMO).
Did you listen to the session where this chart was presented? The article is a bit stingy with information.

CPU technology is moving too fast, making it hard to justify using assembly for anything other than specialized platform specific libraries (ie: media codecs, etc). Compilers are good enough and ram is now stupid cheap.
As for C++ stl hater you must not do much work atall at the high level. I'm more irritated by the other than utf-8 crap out there causing problems. String stuff? not a big deal when shaving an iteration off PDE equations or finding a way to better define a PDE interpolation field (to allow more sparse expensive evaluations) is the killer.
That being said I *have* written my own little toy string class set but haven't recently performance checked it. It seems performance for what I do is more heavily dependent on limiting memory allocations (fun with massively parallel stuff) than just a few instructions. Modern intel cpus seem to stall waiting for data more than they do executing a few instructions.

What do you think about this:
If it's true, and these drivers will be at least Wayland compatible, it can still benefit everyone. But if these going to be Mir only - Ubuntu will go the slippery road of Android, creating a sick drivers competition and Ubuntu only hardware.Right now, Mir does not run on desktop hardware that requires closed source drivers. However, we are in contact with GPU vendors and are working closely together with them to support Mir and to distill a reusable and unified EGL-centric driver model that further eases display server development in general and keeps cross-platform use-cases in mind.
