There has been too much nonsense spouted about the effectiveness of certain successful companies' websites and it's time to correct it. Those who say that poorly designed websites are partly responsible for some companies' success are feeding you a load of crap. And too many of you are eating it up.
Stop it. Bad design harms business, it does not help it. Websites like Boingboing, Google and eBay are successful in spite of their poorly designed sites, not because of them. What kills me is that I continue to see designers, some of them professionals, buying into this drivel and helping to perpetuate it. This whole business of contemplating the elusive wisdom of bad design and ugly layout is amateur hour on parade. It's time to call bullshit.
This is commercial success we're talking about, boys and girls. In commerce, if your product sucks, you suck.
Commercial success plus bad design does NOT equal good design. The reason Google is the premier search tool is because it works. It is the most comprehensive and best-respected search tool for most Web users. It's well managed, a business leader rather than follower and it has been around for quite a while. Google is a mover and shaker, constantly finding and providing tools, solutions and applications for everyday people to use online. The Google brand has gravity, respect and delivers tangible results every minute of the day. THAT'S why Google is the search engine of choice.
The fact that Google's website is unremarkable and poorly laid out is ancillary to these facts, mostly because the main interface is very simple. Poorly designed "simple" is far easier to swallow than poorly designed "complex". It works okay in spite of the bad layout and un-design.The fact is Google got it right where so many fail. They built their reputation on substance rather than on style. They're not important because of their style, but because of execution. They don't have to look important because they simply are important.
This is commercial success we're talking about, boys and girls. In commerce, if your product sucks, you suck.
Most companies put the cart before the horse and try to build their success on how cool their company culture is or how awesomely awesome their logo is. Google's logo pretty much sucks. So what? They can buy and sell any company that has a cool logo any day of the week; not because of their awful main interface layout, but in spite of it.
All of these companies that have suckass website designs and layouts but are successful anyway did the same thing. eBay was best at what it does before anyone else was that good. They've locked up the category with execution first, not style. Boingboing is one of the best-known and most popular weblogs because everybody loves to go there to hate on the Bush administration. The design sucks, but the content and advertising always bashes the readers' #1 enemy. Substance, not style.
This is commercial success we're talking about, boys and girls. In commerce, if your product sucks, you suck. It won't matter how awesome your website looks, you will fail if your product is not up to snuff. By the same token, you are allowed to look like a dog if your product is the cat's meow. Think about it; the successful businessperson will always have a hot date to the dinner party. We're talking about human behavior here, folks.
But let's not be too smart by half. Craigslist, for instance, is a clear winner with an un-design, but it's not an example of bad design. The site content is nothing but relevant text links, and rightly so! The "design" it uses is well-suited to the type of content, so it is quite effective. This site is not like eBay or Google, as it succeeds because of the design rather than spite of it. Google and eBay have layout components and content that were clearly added as afterthoughts, ruining any true layout or design. Not so with Craigslist, the layout is solid and design appropriate. Design is a solution to a problem, not a decoration or embellishment.
So we should stop swallowing tripe for cream. As designers, it's time for some of us to see that the emperor has no clothes and to use our insight, understanding and training to define what we agree with rather than mindlessly going along with idiots in the crowd. We have a responsibility to avoid pseudoscience and pseudointellectualism as it relates to what we produce for our clients and what we share with our fellow designers. If we've not got a sufficient grasp of things to see through this sort of drivel, perhaps we should go back to school or find another line of work.
Bottom line is designers need a foundation to ward off ridiculous ideas like "bad design creates success". We shouldn't relegate ourselves to simply sailing whichever way the wind is blowing this week. When the wind smells bad, it's time to get upwind of the bullshit.

That is because it's hard to make a validating standard version of the Google frontpage, that is smaller in filesize, STILFX.
Design is not just skin deep. Has anyone ever viewed the source code of Google? This is 2006 – who uses a font tag! Oh, and God forbid anyone of the supposed "designers" hating on this article ever try to validate 1 page of Google: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com
The design is RUBBISH!
Hoorah Andy! Love the Article…
You should really try to avoid using words like "Suckass," especially when you want to be taken seriously.
Since when did people copy of Google?
I like this one better, by the way: "Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler."
– Albert Einstein
A lot of people are coming back with "who cares if Google is ugly, the results count" replies. That is kind of the point Andy makes. The problem lies in that fact that because the product is so great people start thinking that the design had something to do with it and hence want to copy it. Trying to change Google's branding is like trying to change a flag, you're doomed even if your new design is technically better.
Good design might not always be required to make a business succeed but bad design certainly never helps. Super-simple isn't always right, over-design never is and as someone once said, "more isn't more, less isn't more, just enough is more".
Richard Hendel asserts in his excellent book-format treatment of book design ("On Book Design", beautifully designed, I might add, a pleasure to hold in your hand and to see) that whether a book is designed well or not, that is, whether a book designer has been hired and done their book design thing on the book, is generally not an indication of the book's commercial success.
Google has to be a billion things to a billion people.
The best way to achieve that is by 1) not being complicated and 2) not changing hardly at all.
Since most non-tech people think Google is the front door to the internet, less and familiar are the best attributes.
I may agree that visually it does little for me as a designer. But as long as the field autofocuses upon page load, I'm fine.
Your piece may have a valid thesis, but it's "written like a designer," to use a favorite expression of mine. From paragraph two: "Websites like Boingboing, Google and eBay are successful in spite of their poorly designed sites . . ." Websites are successful in spite of their sites? Um. Also, why write "This is commercial success we're talking about, boys and girls. In commerce, if your product sucks, you suck" twice? Need an editor? I'm good, fast, and affordable.
Do you get a lot of clients when you write "suckass" and "shit" a lot?
Won't disagree that eBay is clumsy but I think Google is brilliant. When it started out people gravitated towards it not because it was a better search engine than Yahoo – but because it was a simple clean page.
Now page two of Google sucks… but 99% of the users never get beyond the first page.
And the logo is great. It's legible and the mods are fun. How many other logos are built to be modified daily?
I think you're focusing on the wrong aspect of Google by examining their homepage. Google works because of its results, not what its homepage looks like. I agree with you, Andy, that the homepage is crap. But really all I need from the Google homepage is a working search field. The real case study is in the results listings and in that arena, Google has done a marvelous job. Every search listing contains the information I need and it's laid out properly. If I pass intelligent search parameters, I get intelligent results.
Not to demean your efforts (I think the Google Redux looks terrific and is eminently more usable) but even if the Google homepage was replaced with your Google Redux homepage layout, I don't think it would significantly affect the number of people who use it or the frequency with which it is used. I'll bet there's a memo in Google HQ somewhere that says the homepage should never, ever be modified beyond recognition. The spartan, slightly cluttered look of the Google homepage says, "The homepage looks like this because we spend all of our R&D budget on improving the search results and developing other tools." In the grand scheme, how much time does one spend looking at the Google homepage vs the results? There's nothing to navigate and no info I need to parse through. When I really need to locate something on the Google website, guess what I use? Yep, the search, not the navigation.
"We're so confident that our search is superior that we shun homepage development so that you'll use search to navigate our website."
The December 2003 Wired Magazine featured a piece that asked several "experts†in user interface and web design how they would redesign the Google home page. Several designs were submitted, including one by Joshua Davis who used visual display God Edward Tufte as a test subject, designing an incredibly complex and supposedly Tufte-esque Google UI. I can't find the exact quote, but Tufte rejected Davis' design, saying that the Google UI was perfect the way it was and shouldn't be touched.
I hate that Larry and Serge make so much money and that they get all the chicks, but that doesn't change the fact that the Google interface (web site if you will) is brilliant in its simplicity, and the search results are good, and that's why it works.
In summary:
_…feeding you a load of crap… time to call bullshit… boys and girls… if your product sucks, you suck… Google's logo pretty much sucks… these companies that have suckass website designs… the design sucks… boys and girls…. if your product sucks, you suck…. we're talking about human behavior here, folks… stop swallowing tripe for cream… the emperor has no clothes… it's time to get upwind of the bullshit._
I feel like I just read a rant by a 12 year old!
Let's be honest if you have a good product and a good business idea then no amount of bad design is going to hinder the internet companies you have described. Packaging a product on the other hand is an entirely different matter.
Your article is only focussing on large internet brands such as Google and Ebay, two simple ideas executed in a great way; leaving the competiton behind.
Your ideas don't really apply to anything else but these types of companies.. seems like you rant on to much!
google is a well designed site, as it is easy to use it to achieve what i want to do…
"The Google brand has gravity, respect and delivers tangible results every minute of the day."
THAT'S DESIGN, YOU DUMBASS. Design is not the color of a pixel.
Besides, this strawman argument that someone is out there saying "ugly sites are well-designed" is itself bullshit. No one is saying that.
Interesting, but who on earth is saying "bad design = good website"? I have NEVER seen such a statement. Nearest is "no design can still mean good website" or "good design can't save a bad website." But the strength of your words implies loads of people are saying bad design = good website, and I've just never seen anyone say that.
Clint: I hadn't heard of this trend either. I respect the author's viewpoint on this, but I would respect it more if he would site the sources of this trend.
Thank you for recognizing that Google and eBay have sucky design! The Google logo looks like someone's nephew overdid it with a Photoshop bezel effect and Fisher-Price colours.
eBay is a design and usability nightmare. My wife runs an eBay store, and there are basic auction functions that should be one click only, and instead take five clicks and two log-ins, assuming she can even figure out how to do it in the first place. In fact, I'd say even their product sucks, but no one has come along and built a better one yet (at least, not one with the critical mass of customers required to succeed).
Interesting piece,
I hadn't heard about this trend of "success because of poor design" at all. Are you citing any sources in particular or is it just the "buzz"...
Those sites are not poorly designed. Maybe they are plainer and less aesthetically appealing to fussy graphic design types than some of the kickass modern CSS based sites, but looks aren't everything. Looks are important, but looks alone are not design. And nearly everyone has opinions on how various popular sites should be reorganized or improved, so welcome to the club.
The endless time I've hear the client asked for Amazon-tab navigation or Google-simplicity is mind-numb. Then I'll have explain to them that the project is better served with better design.
Bullshit it is but bucking the clients request a lot harder. Great article.
I really enjoyed reading this article, thank you! I love the voice in the article, and think this subject absolutely warrants it.
* I agree it would have helped to have additional applicable examples of "bad design" and "good design". Maybe examples where bad design really did equate to poor business results? Or good design that led to successful business? etc
(Pics & diagrams are always nice too.)
* Another thought on the Google redux design—which I had seen another time, and really enjoy it being addressed!—the "search" and "I'm feeling lucky buttons" below search bar aren't centered. This is inconsistent with the rest, what's the thought behind that?
>> Boingboing is one of the best-known and most popular weblogs because everybody loves to go there to hate on the Bush administration.
Really? Ok, I'll give you that boingboingers tend to be liberal, but come on. There's a whole world of interesting stuff to talk about, maybe a fraction of that is Bush related.
Excellent read btw, don't mean to nitpic.
bq. http://www.andyrutledge.com/google-redux.php
Nice article but "A" is up there 'cause of coherence: it's placed in the same position in any other Google service (Gmail, Groups, etc…).
Thanks Ann. I think you've discovered a way of solving our information overload problems. Simply stop reading things because you think the writer is egotistical. Sheesh.
I think this article was necessary, although a little repetitive in places Andy. Thanks.
Au contraire: bad design sells all the time, because a majority of users don't have the vocabulary to critically analyse what bad design is (c.f. Windows etc). When having difficulties, users often see themself as the problem, not the tool that they are using.
Also, I would argue that your examples are not examples of bad design, they are just not examples of overdesign, or "designer's design". They may not aesthetically please you, but neither do they create massive impediments in their own functionality with their design, their usability is realtively good. Your praise of craigslist confuses your arguments more given your previous examples.
Everything can be improved, for sure, no interface is perfect, but I think you could have cooled down a bit and thought of some more applicable examples for your arguments before sitting down to write this article. A passionate yet shallow editorial in need of an editor.
[ -1, emotional _ ]
Someone sent me this article. I couldn't get through the first paragraph. Get over yourself.
Andy Rutledge:
I've seen it, the google redesign is allmost the same, except some colors added. Does it differ so much that you would say that google design is not a bad design anymore?
can i get an AMEN!
Well said. Would seem like a "duh" situation, but some people just "yes sir" everything they hear.
thanks for the post.
I agree with the fact that google, ebay and amazon nailed it on execution and were first to do so. I also agree that all the cool websites in the world will not make a shit sandwich taste good. But I wasn't aware that there is an undesign philosophy? Is this a case of a couple of lazy wankers in marketing going "it worked for google, it'll work for us" or is there really a school of designers who practice this?
BTW. Sensational design and interesting content. Good work!
> How should the Google page look like, then?
Apparently it should have 1/2 the page set aside for tiny links to the google local site of every city you aren't in.

Running can be both a great workout and a great hobby for adults. So how can you get your kids involved to make it a family activity?
Use these tips to get your kids started in running.
Start slowly: Just like adults have to ease into running, so do kids. Start slowly by having the kids run for just a few minutes (or blocks) at a time if they are able. If they aren't able to run for that long, then start by running for a few seconds and then walking, and alternating between the two until the kids build up their endurance.
Let your kids decide how long they want to run: Listen to your kids when they tell you it's time to stop. They know what their body is capable of, and if they try to do too much too soon running won't be enjoyable for them, and they risk injury.
Set a goal: Have your child pick a running goal, whether it's to be able to run a mile or run in a 5K race, or even run for 10 minutes without stopping. Set up your child's training around that goal to help him or her achieve it. Break the goal into smaller stages and celebrate each time your child reaches a milestone.
Remember to stretch and warm up: It's important to teach your child healthy habits, so make sure you teach him or her to warm up with a walk before they start running, and to stretch before and after a run.

Blog Tour/Giveaway: City Quilts by Cherri House
Today I'm thrilled to host the grand finale of Cherri House's blog tour to celebrate her new book City Quilts. OK, confession — I was just late in asking to be included, so Cherri was kind enough to tack me on to the end of the tour! Jessica is the rightful grand-finale host, but I guess because of my neverending fascination with solid fabrics and my lifetime membership in the Cherri and Lizzy House fan club, Jessica's throne was usurped. Sorry, lady friend.
In case this is the first you've heard of City Quilts or the tour, I encourage you to familiarize yourself by visiting Cherri's previous stops. Some of them still have giveaways going (and I'm no exception — see the end of the post).

- July 14th – Stefanie Roman
- July 15th – Pat Sloan
- July 16th – Spool
- July 17th – Robert Kaufman's Swatch & Switch
- July 18th – Fat Quarterly

- July 23rd – Jessica Levitt
- July 24th – You Are Here!
City Quilts is an essential addition to your sewing/quilting library if you're interested in working with solid fabrics, are a beginning quilter or beyond interested in modern quilts, or just love unique takes on the creative process. All the quilt patterns included in the book were inspired by grids found in the urban landscape. At the same time, it's a gentle introduction to achieving dazzling and impressive color effects by juxtaposing fabrics of different hues and values. Check out some of gorgeous patterns included in the book as Cherri answers my motley assortment of questions …
{ City Shops }
City Quilts is kind of a love song to the urban landscape, and the urban landscape of Houston in particular. I love Houston — it's so huge there is something (more than something — a lot of something!) for everyone. Will you tell us about the must-visit shops and other sites for textile tourists?
My LQS is It's A Stitch in Humble, near IAH airport — great for travelers with a little time before a flight. Another shop I really love is Painted Pony in LaPorte – other side of town, but a great selection. There seems to be a huge explosion of shops on the southwest part of Houston as of late. That part of town is a good hour plus away, so I haven't visited any of them yet. It requires a road trip to hit all of the "local" stores. Though not Houston, Austin has a great selection of stores for quilters … lucky you!
{ City Lot }
What is your fabric stash like? How do you store it all? On a related note, I was mighty impressed by your fabric journal described and pictured in the book.
I have a wall unit from Ikea that I use for my fabric storage. Wire bins hold all my smaller fabrics cuts that are sorted by color, style, precuts, and speciality fabrics. What once was a linen closet now holds long yardage, and fabric for quilt backs. Kona solids are kept in tubs, and I have small bins where I keep projects that are queued, and awaiting sewing. My fabric collection is spread over 1/2 of my home … I need a studio! In regards to the journal, I would recommend that every quilter, or seamstress start one, and maintain it through the years. Aside from fabric swatches, I also keep design notes and sketches, plus thank you notes from the recipients of my quilts. I've been keeping a quilt journal for about 10 years, and it is great to look back, and see what I've done, and what has changed.
{ City Lights, which was perched precariously over the railing of some very tall downtown building for the cover shot! }
After reading your lake story, I looked at the photography in City Quilts from a different perspective. So many of the shots are taken from high places! Were you involved in the shoots? Were you worried about them flying off the railings and blowing down the streets?
Fortunately all but a few photos were taken by C&T, and I think they are probably more careful with my quilts than I am. Photo shoots are so crazy, the wind is always blowing, quilts are always trying to fly away, rigging systems fail. Helpers are scrunched down behind quilts, trying to stay out of the shot and keep the quilt still. Falling in the lake has been the most dramatic of all my experiences, and fortunately I didn't drown, and the quilt didn't fly into the lake with me. No more photo shoots by myself, that is my new rule!
{ City Aviation halfway assembled on the design wall, pre-quilting }
Let's talk about quilting a solids quilt. I know not everyone thinks this way, but to me the quilting design is just as important as the piecing. And the quilting on an all-solids quilt is even more important, because it shows up so much more. Are you extra exacting with your solids quilts when it comes to fixing mistakes, thread ends, etc.? And how do you feel about outsourcing your quilting? Any tips to give to readers on working with a professional long-armer?
I'm so glad you are asking about this … you're the first. In the book I talk quite a bit about the importance of the actual quilting; how it is very much a part of the whole composition. As you are envisioning, and planning your quilt, the quilting needs to be part of the overall plan, and not an afterthought. Personally I have no qualms about sending a quilt out to be professionally quilted. I know my limitations as far as machine quilting goes. There were several quilts in the book (City Aviation, City Center, City Lot, and City Circle) that I needed the quilting to be very specific, and I knew that it was beyond my capabilities, with the time constraints that I was under. My longarm quilter is DeLoa Jones, and she was a lifesaver. Normally her work is very traditional, and I completely pushed her out of her comfort zone with the work I was asking of her; City Aviation just about killed her. She kept saying that there should be feathers, and wreaths on the those open spaces, and I kept saying "No, it has to be contemporary, it has to be modern!" She came through, and the quilting makes the quilt. In regards to working with a longarmer, ask to see samples of their work, ask if they are comfortable, or capable of doing the work you need done. Ask about their backlog, and what the wait time is. Sometimes, if I know I will need a quilt with a quick turnaround, I will call and ask for space to be reserved so I can send the top in last minute, and get it back in days. This happened with the book, and it is frequent around Market.
As I've mentioned before in regards to working with solids, you can't hide mistakes the way you can with a busy print. Know that going in, and work with that in mind throughout the process, the extra time and care definitely pay off.
{ City Tracks }
You mentioned earlier in the blog tour that you love Kaffe Fassett — you two are definitely kindred spirits when it comes to simple, geometric-based quilt designs. And his fabrics, though often multicolored, function so much like solids. Then I started envisioning your quilts with his fabrics and some of his quilts with solids and my creative mind exploded. Have you ever tried either?
I've never thought of it in that light, but for me, his fabrics were really the bridge from "printed" fabrics to solids. For a couple of years, all of my quilts incorporated his fabrics. My quilts were changing, as well as my fabric selections. After my "Kaffe" period, I then began my work with solids. Though I own several of his books, I've never made one of this quilts. I'm in the process of creating some new patterns combining solids and some Kaffe fabrics; I'm excited to see how they will be received.
Thanks so much Cherri, and congratulations on this grand accomplishment!
As with all the other blog tour stops, you can enter here for a chance to win a copy of City Quilts courtesy C&T Publishing, and a Kona Cotton Solids Fat Quarter Pack (of your choice, but clearly I'd encourage these reds!) courtesy Robert Kaufman Fabrics. Just leave a comment with a valid email. The comments will close next Saturday, July 31, around 4pm CDT, and I'll announce the winner shortly after that.

A gourmet breakfast that is low in points and is easy to make. I almost missed my train this morning making this delicious frittata but it would have been worth it (don't tell my boss). The smell of the mushrooms and shallots coming out of my bag filled my train, oops if I made anyone hungry. I love making frittatas for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Cut into small squares, they can be served as an appetizer as well.

According to investigators, prior greenhouse gas emissions have already secured a future sea-level rise of 4 feet that will flood parts of 316 municipalities around the U.S. And if global warming continues at its current rate through 2100 an additional 1,100 cities could be under water at high tide.
"It's like this invisible threat," says author Benjamin Strauss,a scientist at Climate Central, a non-profit non-advocacy research group based in Princeton, N.J.
Strauss adds that there's a misconception regarding the future of the planet and greenhouse gas emissions as people believe the problem of sea level rising will go away if emissions are stopped.
"The current trend in carbon emissions likely implies the eventual crippling or loss of most coastal cities in the world," he writes, adding that carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for centuries contributing to higher temperatures and the loss of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
To calculate the U.S. cities that would be at risk according to his prediction, Strauss used elevation data and 2010 Census population figures. He found that Florida is the most vulnerable state by far and that New York and New Jersey are a close second and third.
However, the study finds that the whole thing could be avoided or at least mitigated with deep pollution cuts and a technology that could absorb CO2 form the atmosphere.
If things continue as they are, Strauss predicts that Galveston Texas will be the first city to go underwater in 2030 followed by Miami, Fla. in 2040, Norfolk, Va. and Coral Gables, Fla. in 2044 and Virginia Beach, Va. in 2054.

I'm already in, tired, and beat. Waves at the jetty I was at in monmouth county were expected to be 4 feet shoulder high but most were 2-3 feet overhead. Great morning. As far as the other breaks on that beach were concerned, everything came in around head high.
It seems ground swell is often underforecasted on this site. Which is fine and much better than overforecasted. Just letting the mod know my observations.

About Our Programs
The CCSF Library Programs Committee collaborates with other City College departments and centers, as well as student organizations, to create events that reflect and enrich the creative, intellectual and cultural diversity of the City College community.
We bring writers, poets, artists, musicians, filmmakers and others to the City College Centers to give students the opportunity to meet and interact first-hand, to recognize African-American History, Children's Literature, Latino/a American Heritage, and Lunar New Year, to name a few.
Library Exhibitions often parallel the theme of the current program series. The Exhibitions blog covers current and past exhibitions.
Please contact Suzanne Lo at (415) 267-6505 or Yi Liang at (415) 452-5469 to get involved or suggest an event.

So here is the fresh start of my second build. I had an unfortunate accident with my first attempt at it so here goes take #2.
I started again with cutting out the bases for the hull halves with my plans on them. as you know I design my own plans to my imagination so this is something you've never seen before.
Instead of using balsa for the circle halves I decided to use my 3mm PVC foamboard. It's much stiffer and when you see the pictures you'll see why I did it as well. The set of pictures describes the process accuratly enough, within 15-20 min I had all my circles cut and ready for glueing. I am more impressed with the product I put out tonight than my previous attempt. Go figure huh?
Here is where I drew on the center lines and 1/8" offset for each base plank. The circles are 1/8" smaller than the outside of the hull to account for the 1/16" balsa plank and the fiberglass layer and filler that will follow. The discs and bases were also marked as to where the measurment was taken and the disc was to be placed. In total, this had 12 discs of varying sizes.
The Dremel circle cutter tool setup
I drilled a hole OUTSIDE the diameter I wanted to cut so that I could align the blade. This was important as I wanted the blade edge to trace the outside of the compass line, not the center of the blade. I also predrilled a hole in the center so the disc could spin and be cut.
Notice how it's cutting cleanly as I described above.
Finished discs ready for the next step.
These are the two bases being used for the hull halves.
Both halves with mounted discs and ready for planking
This all in about 4 hours work...
Progress Continues...

My Galaxy S5 cell phone is in an Otter Protective Rubber Case which adds to the size of the phone & did not fit in the outside phone pocket; returned it.. I did not consider this added size when I viewed the size of the wristlet. I have other SAK items and all are excellent quality. I look forward to SAK making a wristlet a wee bit larger to accommodate a larger phone. Hats off to SAK and their free return policy & excellent customer care. I will continue to shop SAK.
Monday September 1 2014
I bought the Iris Smartphone Wristlet. I got the Tobacco Turquoise & I love it. The silver & turquoise add just the right amount of bling. I have the Galaxy III phone in a case & it fits snuggly but it fits in the phone pocket. The inside holds everything I need when I'm out shopping or running errands. I bought RFID protective credit card sleeves so I have protection for my credit card, debit card, etc. inside the wallet. The only thing drawback is the change compartment which is on the small side. I have been using my wristlet for about 2 months now & there is no sign of wear. The leather has begun to patina but looks gorgeous. Thanks for a beautiful product.
Monday July 7 2014
It's a nice size to carry and holds a lot but my iPhone will only fit if I take it out of the protective case. That makes me nervous because I'm clumsy. Tried to put my phone in with the case but it won't fit so if you're a nervous Nancy like me regarding your iPhone, don't buy it to carry your phone because there's no protection.

Who Is the Age-Defying Celeb Rocking This Itty-Bitty Bikini? (PHOTO)
full size
How Old Is She?
Bikini bodies can be deceiving. Some stars spend so much time (and money) working on their physiques that they can shave years off their appearance. On the other hand, some celebs are far too busy working on their "craft" than the upkeep of their figures.
So we want you to guess: Who is this age-defying TV actress? Click through to find out!

WADDINGTON – In a show of support, the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce has signed on to help organizers prepare for the Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament in August.
The county chamber has agreed to organize a weekend festival during the tournament, tentatively scheduled for Aug. 9 to 11. The Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament, called St. Lawrence River Showdown, will be held Aug. 8 to 11.
The national fishing tournament is expected to draw thousands of tourists to the area and pump $2 million in revenue into the St. Lawrence Valley economy.
As part of the contractual agreement between village of Waddington and Bassmasters, the community is required to host an expo to draw people into the area for the event.
Organizations like Bassmasters like to see a festival going on when they come into town, Event Coordinator Deanna Shampine said.
The event will be headquartered in Whittaker Park, where camera crews are expected to film the announcement of winners, concerts and other live events.
The more people we are able to draw to that area to give support to the tournament, the better, FishCap Coordinator Donald R. Meissner said.
The festival will be headed by county Chamber Events and Program Coordinator Jo Ann Roberts.
As the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, an organization that promotes those kind of economic boosts in the north country, we offered our assistance, Ms. Roberts said. Were excited to help in any way we can.
While the Bassmasters Elite Series Tournament is still eight months away, the county chamber has already started preparing for the event. The chamber will hold its first kick-off meeting next week. Chamber members from other communities are expected to attend.
The festival is tentatively titled Tastes and Talents of the North Country and will include crafts, food, artisans, wine, entertainment and music.
There will also be some demonstrations by local artisans and wildlife enthusiasts.
The Bassmasters group brings with them their own corporate sponsors, Ms. Roberts said. Our piece is to showcase certain aspects and features of our area that they wouldnt know about..
The festival, which will be free and open to the public, will paid for by vendor fees.
Vendor packets and information will be available in the coming months, Ms. Roberts said.
