Think of it as the continuation of the line of "dream cars" that started with the Y-Job and LeSabre. Think of it as a daily driver owned by the man who turned mass production of passenger cars into an art form. Now imagine it in your collection. This first-year Sting Ray convertible has a very interesting history--one that touches on the best parts of GM's history. For this C2 was originally owned by Harley Earl.
Though engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov helped turn the Corvette into "America's Only True Sports Car," and Chevrolet Division general managers like Semon "Bunkie" Knudsen and E.M. "Pete" Estes championed it, it was "Misterl" himself who came up with the idea for a fiberglass-bodied two-seat convertible, during a trip to Watkins Glen, New York (with the LeSabre) in 1951 for the road races there. That idea in time became the "Opel" design concept, the EX-122 prototype that debuted at the '53 GM Motorama, and--eventually--the production Chevrolet Corvette.
Though Earl's tenure as the head of GM Styling (which began in 1927, with his hiring to start what was first called the Art & Colour Section), and as a GM vice president--which he was promoted to in 1940--ended with his retirement in 1959, he still had ties with The General, even as he relocated from Michigan to Florida. Those ties resulted in a special Sting Ray built for him, one with prototype features like side-mount exhausts and an auxiliary gauge cluster on the right side of the dash. That car also featured an RPO L75 300-horsepower 327, Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed manual transmission, and one of the first sets of revised cast aluminum wheels (once Chevrolet and vendor Kelsey-Hayes worked out the porosity and air-leakage problems those wheels had at the start of '63 production) wearing two-prong knockoffs.
"The reason that this car is so valuable is because it's one of a kind, designed by Harley Earl--the last Corvette that he ever designed," says Harley Earl's grandson, Richard. "It's a direct descendant from the Y-Job and the LeSabre, and it was specially built for him inside GM Styling on the QT. GM paid for this car and sent it down to him--even though he was no longer in Detroit. They regarded him as a legend. It didn't happen for anybody else outside the company--no one else was having freshly-minted Corvettes built whenever he wanted, for his wife and himself." (Richard, a former Wall Street broker, now makes a living selling Harley Earl-designed cars. "Motoramic masterpieces" is how he likes to refer to them. He maintains the official Harley Earl Web site, www.carofthecentury.com, and is working on a biography of his grandfather.)
One notable public appearance that this car made in its early days was in February of 1963, as a parade/festival car at the Daytona 500, whose winner's trophy is named for him. (In his retirement years away from GM, Earl was a NASCAR commissioner, and a good friend of NASCAR founder Bill France). The blue-and-white C2 was there for the 500, held one month to the day after the top brass on the 14th floor of the GM Building in Detroit pulled the plug on all factory racing programs.
Lest you think that this was a car built for a one-time use, think again. It remained at Earl's Palm Beach, Florida, home and was regularly driven by him, and it was parked in the driveway there on April 10, 1969--the day he died. "`For Harley Earl, the guy who invented the art of making cars, this was his last Corvette," says Richard Earl.
As of this writing, the Harley Earl '63 Sting Ray is in Bob McDorman's collection in Ohio, but it could be headed to where you house your own collection. That is, if you're the successful high bidder on it at the Mecum Auction that's part of this year's Bloomington Gold weekend at St. Charles, Illinois. "It's a great car, and we've known it for a long, long time," says Mecum Auction Company President Dana Mecum.

CRESTVIEW — Alex E. Thompson kept children in an unfit home, neglected them and lied about it, according to an arrest report released Friday by the Crestview Police Department.
The 51-year-old pastor of Harvest Vineyard Ministries, a group home on North Main Street, was arrested Thursday on charges of child neglect without great harm.
The arrest followed a monthlong investigation.
Investigators learned a 15-year-old left in Harvest Vineyard's care by her mother had been raped after running away from the facility, the report states.
The mother had brought the child to the ministry July 26 based on information that Harvest Vineyard offered spiritual guidance to troubled youth, the report states. She reported trying to contact the facility to speak to her daughter but was told the child had not earned phone privileges.
The mother later learned her daughter had run away from the facility Aug. 3 and returned Aug. 8. Neither the mother nor law enforcement was told about the girl's disappearance, the police report states.
The teenager ran away a second time Aug. 10 and the church called the mother Aug. 17 to tell her about the situation, the report states. The mother told police she was able to locate her daughter through friends. After returning home with her to Missouri, she learned her daughter had been raped during her disappearance from Harvest Vineyard, according to the report.
"It is due to lack of supervision and care for her well-being that Alex Thompson showed by not reporting her missing to law enforcement or her mother that I believe contributed to the rape of (the girl)," the investigator wrote in the report.
Another teen, a 16-year-old boy, was brought to the facility by his grandmother. She also believed the home was for troubled youth, the report states.
Once in the care of Harvest Vineyard, the teen's blood pressure medication was taken away and he was "not provided any type of formal education except a sheet of math or two" drawn up by a church member, the report states.
The boy also shared a housing area with two sexual offenders, the report states.
"It is evident that there is a direct disregard for the safety and well-being of these children. ... They are not providing supervision, care, or services necessary for juveniles," the report states.
City: Harvest Vineyard facility in need of much repair
Investigators with the city say it will take serious work on the Harvest Vineyard Ministries building before it will be suitable for folks to walk inside.
The residential facility was condemned Thursday following a search warrant executed on the church's pastor, Alex E. Thompson, who was arrested for child neglect without great harm.
Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Rick Sanders said Crestview Fire Department was called to the scene by police after several violations were viewed by law enforcement.
Sanders said multiple life-safety code violations, including overcrowding and improper wiring, were cause for the immediate eviction of the nearly 80 residents.
"We saw an immediate threat to life," Sanders said. "In order to fix the problems there are several steps they'll need to take."
Sanders said a contractor would need to be hired, plans for the fixes would have to be submitted to the city and permits to do the maintenance would need to be obtained.

So the folks at Santa Anita got the message loud and clear about the madness that was the first Food Truck Festival held in February, (see my previous post.)
A separate admission into the festival, 23 trucks, ridiculously long lines, trucks running out of food – there was reportedly 10,000 folks in the festival alone – not the greatest start.
Now, with Food Truck Festival II being held this Saturday, April 2, they hope to make it up to foodies by not having a separate admission fee – yes, just $5 gets you into the park and the infield where the festival will be held – and featuring more than 80 food trucks.
I have to admit, I'm a little skeptical. No separate admission can mean there may be way more people trying to get at least one taste of these gourmet food offerings and there will be some trucks who will be more popular than others, no matter how many are offered.
For me, the idea of a food truck festival is great because one has the opportunity to try more than one truck in one place versus driving around all over SoCal – it's a one stop shop!
But when there are long wait times and that doesn't happen, it makes me just want to give up and resort to just following a few fav trucks.
I don't think I've been to a festival yet that features over 80 trucks, so guess I'll wait and see until after how it all went.
For more info on the festival and a full list of trucks, visit http://www.santaanita.com/
I will not be able to attend, but if anyone out there knows how it went, or has pictures – let me know. Meanwhile, check out below what's new in the food truck world.
Forget drive-throughs, food trucks and pop-ups are practically bringing gourmet truck and other delicious food to your front door. But for those who still like the sit-down dinner night out, Breadbar presents the Hatchi Truck Stop.
For one night a month for the rest of 2011, a new guest truck will be cooking up a specialty menu of 8 items for $8 a pop at the bakery and pastry shop's kitchen in Century City. Yes, inside. No eating in your car or outside the truck (unless you have leftovers after.)
Kicking off the series tonight, March 31, is Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race" winner, Grill 'Em All.
Reservations are essential for all series dinners, served from 6 to 10 p.m., with a minimum purchase of $32 per guest.
Last check in by the Grill 'Em All team is some spots opened up for tonight's event which will feature heavy-metal inspired cuisines such as Molson Beer and Cheese Soup with Frise, Lardons, and a Bacon
Vinaigrette; "Behemoth Style" Meatballs with BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Smoked
Cheddar, and Funyuns Onion Flavored Rings; Duck Confit Poutine with
Wisconsin Cheese Curds and Rosemary; and Peanut Butter and Jelly Three
Ways-Canap and more. Microbrews from Humboldt
County's Lost Coast Brewery will be offered along with the menu.
Call 310-277-3770 to see if you can snag a table tonight, or for any future series events which includes "The Great Food Truck Race" runner-ups, Nom Nom Truck, Frysmith and more. Visit www.breadbar.net for the full list of trucks and more details.
Breadbar is at 10250 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles.

Bourne in Montreal - Part Two
June 28, 2008. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: bff, black olives, brad mehldau, chevre, FIJM, free funk, giant pickle, goat cheese, interplay, jewish deli, montreal smoked meat, mozzarella, noix, odd lot, pastrami, piano trio, Places and Spaces, sextet, siciliana, solo recital, st laurent, walnuts
Schwartz's for lunch with my Other Half, Michele, and my BFF, Amy. Montreal smoked meat is like pastrami, and it's best at Schwartz's, an old Jewish deli with large chunks of the meat in the window. Crowds wait in line all day to eat at the little tables. When you order a sandwich, you're asked "lean, medium, or fat?" I opt for medium, comes on rye with mustard and a giant pickle. I walked back down St Laurent and the Hill, the walk a payback to my body for ingesting so much meat ...
Eating, walking around, hanging with some of my favorite people in the world, especially all the loveable kids in the press room, is why I come every year. And the music ...
M. le Juge was back judging at 6 a sextet called The Odd Lot, playing free funk with a ferocious tenor player. I also heard a piano trio called Indigone Trio. Even though they were all reading charts, the interplay sounded (and felt) spontaneous, especially in the rhythmic effects of the drummer. Both of these groups I felt are in the running for the prizes, but I have 7 more groups yet to judge.
Brad Mehldau played a solo recital in the Jesus Room (salle de Gesu), mostly standards ("No Moon at All," "Secret Love," "Airegin," "God Only Knows") with flabbergasting chops. I appreciated how he de-constructed melodies, but every song turned into a display of rambling and rumbling, virtuosic but exhausting.
1st trip to Pizzadelic: chevre et noix (goat cheese, walnuts, black olives, tomatoes, mozzarella) and siciliana (various Italian meat) ...

Montreal - Feel the Love
June 28, 2008. Posted by Amy Niles.Add new comment | Filed under: café au lait, cole slaw, corned beef, eclectic city, emmanuelle, FIJM, french fries, furniture shops, gelato, glowing skin, grande dame, hidden treasures, hot dog, laurier, pied a terre, Places and Spaces, shade gardens, smoked meat, st bernard, st laurent, tourisme montreal, true confessions
What is the one word that comes to mind when I think of Montreal? It's love. True confessions: the first time I came here, it was to flee tortured love. But now, every time I am here, I find new love. Love for this eclectic city, love of music, love of food, love for life.
My day started yesterday over café au lait with two women who are charged by profession with promoting Montreal- Emmanuelle and Julie from Tourisme Montreal. They are actually paid to wax poetic about what makes Montreal so special. They let me in on a few hidden treasures and turned me loose to the streets.
We have pastrami and corned beef in New York, but Montreal has the smoked meat of Schwartz's. But I was in the mood for a steak. Again, not something that I can't get in New York, but Schwartz's serves it with a twist- when was the last time that you were served a pickle, cole slaw, French fries and a hot dog with yours? And the experience started with a piece of grilled liver. Maybe not the best I've ever had (and I passed on the liver and hot dog!), but they do something right if the line halfway down the block is any indication of popularity. And it was before noon!
New York and Montreal share many features- unfortunately humidity is one of them. But that didn't stop me from walking on St Laurent and peeking into smart looking furniture shops- hmm, maybe it is time for a pied a terre in Montreal!
I can't come to Montreal without my ritual beauty stop. I swear I get a better facial here than anywhere else in the world (and trust me when I say that I have tried my share!).. My haunt is Lise Watier's institut on Laurier. She is Montreal's beloved grande dame of cosmetics. You can't go to a makeup counter anywhere in this city without seeing her products.
Emmanuelle and Julie were insistent that I try Bilboquet for gelato and sorbet. So, glowing skin and more walking past lovely houses surrounded by lush shade gardens brought me to St Bernard and this popular place. I can get lemon sorbet anywhere, but I had to try the apricot and pear. Perfect. And even on a Friday afternoon- packed.
Now I was craving what I came here for- the music. And this is where the love really came in. I picked just one event for today- and while my choice was not mainstream jazz, it reflected one of the special opportunities this festival affords- to hear artists who may not be on my radar screen. Yael Naim was exactly that. But I definitely was in the minority because I seemed to be the only person who was new to her. I am a fan. This women, her talented band and her music are infectious. How many times have I gone to a concert and commanded the artist to "show me"? Yael made the audience a player and said thank you to them. You may recognize one of her songs from the Apple Airbook commercials and undoubtedly many people in the audience knew her from that. They left knowing her spirit. And certainly her love of all she does.
Check her out:
More tomorrow.
João Gilberto at Carnegie Hall
June 28, 2008. Posted by Simon Rentner.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
Last Sunday, a "legend's legend," as described in the JVC Jazz Festival - New York program guide, performed at Carnegie Hall. João Gilberto, who turned 77 a few weeks ago, made his only US appearance this year to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the bossa nova. Remarkably, the concert transpired with no snags or disturbances (Joao is also a legend for both his on and off-stage behavior). The music was, as expected, transcendent. He subtlety plucked the guitar in his signature fashion while whispering timeless samba melodies (see full set list below). I'm not even sure that he looked at the audience once, which unusually added to the concert's intimacy. Every seat in the hall was filled, yet it seemed like you were alone with João every moment.

Rated 3.9 out of 5Â by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mms So Good! These are really awesome! They fit true to size, and the vamp is cut really low so that they're super flattering on the leg. I got the gray, and they look cute with a surprisingly wide variety of clothes, I've worn them way more than I expected to already! 3.10.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by sjpugmaster Cheap & tight I ordered the zebra in a 8.5, my usual size. Shoes were definitely too tight....with thin socks I could easily use another half or full size up since they are narrow in the toe box (and I have narrow feet!). But most of all, I was disappointed in the quality - cheap "leather" that doesn't look like it will hold up well to much walking and will hurt my feet in the meantime. They're going back. 8.28.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by rogue1984 Too narrow fit & way to small The tip of this shoe was so tight on my big toe I could barely walk around in my bedroom. Overall fit too small even in the heel. You'll need to size up by one full size. Not very happy with the craftsmanship either. Seems very cheaply thrown together. 3.26.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by AllyMay Business and Fun These shoes are a little bit tight upon first wearing them, but after a few wears they really break in. I would only size up if you are impatient about breaking in this shoe. This shoe is also really versatile. I've worn it to work but I've also worn it out with crop pants and shorts! Very solid and comfortable once broken in. 3.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by AnnaO like I have very small and narrow feet and these fit perfectly. Like the quality and color. Nice shoes! 4.9.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aylah Gorgeous Shoes! These shoes fit absolutely perfect and look amazing! Couldn't be happier with them! 4.2.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mauiem cute basic shoe I love these oxfords they are such a great basic but cute shoe, you can wear just about anywhere, with just about anything. I ordered them in the gray. I love the sweet pink soles, they add a little sass to an other wise more boyish shoe. Overall the shoes are as pictured, and fit more or less true to size. I ordered my usual size for oxfords, 8.5. They are a lot thicker and more sturdy then I anticipated, which I suppose will be good in the long run! For me they almost fit more like a desert boot. They are a little snug in the toes and pad of your foot area. For people who have narrower feet however, this shouldn't be a problem. I anticipate that they will loosen up a bit through wear, since they are suede. I thought about sizing up but opted not to because otherwise they would have been two long. Overall though great buy 2.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SCP love them!!!!! these are a great simple pair of oxfords. The pink makes them perfect for spring, they fit true to size. Steve Madden has a pair that looks really similar online, but the SM ones look cheap in real life, while these look and feel great!! 2.20.2012

Snatching Defeat out of the Jaws of Victory
Invited guests listen as President Barack Obama speaks in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building about extending middle-class tax cuts before they expire in January. The president said he believes that members of both parties can reach a framework on a debt-cutting deal before Christmas.
President Barack Obama, to his great credit, has drawn a bright line. Taxes have to revert to the rates that were in effect before the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent.
This is crucial because the less the very rich pay, the more others have to pay either in the form of less tax relief for the bottom 98 percent or on program cuts like Social Security and Medicare.
Or has he drawn that line?
Yesterday, the White House put out the word that the president was willing to be "flexible" on the question of tax rates for the top bracket. Specifically, that means the president will accept the Republican idea of getting some of the needed revenue by closing loopholes rather than increasing rates.
The leak of the softening of the Obama bargaining position was first reported by Erskine Bowles—why does he keep turning up like a bad penny?—after meetings with insiders at the White House and was confirmed by administration officials.
This stance is bad policy and dumb tactically on several grounds.
First, rates on the top two brackets are currently 33 percent on incomes between $250,000 and $388,000, and 36 percent on incomes above that level. On January 1, they revert to the rates that were in effect before the Bush tax cuts—36 percent and 39.4 percent, respectively. If Obama agrees not to raise rates on the very top bracket, he has to get the revenue somewhere else—or cut spending that much more.
The richest people are the ones who have made out like bandits, even in the recession. They can surely afford to pay higher taxes. The Republican position is to get the revenue some other way—by closing loopholes. But the idea of capping deductions or closing other loopholes will hit a lot of upper-middle-class people and leave the super-rich with less of a tax hike.
So this is dubious policy. It's also bad politics.
Obama has the Republicans in a superb tactical position. If Congress does nothing, rates rise January 1 for everyone. The Senate has already passed legislation keeping the current rates for the bottom 98 percent. All the Republican House has do to is concur, as Obama has requested. If they don't, taxes rise for everyone. Why blur that bright line?
The president's tough stance was working. Republican unity on the issue of no rate cuts for the rich was already beginning to crack.
Obama still has a novice's habit of softening his negotiating position going in, rather than holding possible concessions in his pocket for the final round. Republicans just take the concession as the new starting point and don't concede anything in return. Where is his learning curve on this? Lyndon Johnson or Harry Truman would weep.
It gets worse. The president softened his position at a meeting with corporate CEOs, who have formed the $60 million campaign called "Fix the Debt" to lobby for a deal that cuts Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid but preserves as many of their tax breaks as possible. Every one of these people is in the top bracket.
They are posing as representatives of the public interest, but this is about self-interest.
Meanwhile, the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, the SEIU, the NEA, and other unions have been waging a Washington and grass-roots lobbying blitz to pin down Democratic members of the House and Senate to refuse to vote for any deal that fails to restore the higher rates on the top 2 percent or that cuts Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. Most Democrats in Congress are already firmer on these principles than their president.
If Obama is saved from his own impulses to cave in for the sake of splendid bipartisanship (and needlessly appeasing Wall Street), the thanks will be owed to the larger progressive community.
Obama has already embraced the conservative notion that we need $4 trillion in deficit reduction over a decade. We don't. The best way to bring down the deficit is to restore strong economic growth and full employment, which increases revenue collections.
The dreaded fiscal cliff would cut the deficit next year by about $607 billion—that's such a big contraction that the Congressional Budget Office says it would push the economy back into recession. But if a one-year cut of $607 billion is so deflationary that it equals a fiscal cliff, what's a ten-year cut of $4 trillion? It's a leap off a fiscal Everest?
The budget deal of 2011—the one that created the automatic sequesters—has already taken $1.7 trillion out of domestic spending over a decade. There is almost nothing left to cut on the spending side of the equation, except Social Security and Medicare—which are not the prime drivers of the current deficit and which do not belong in this debate at all.
As Obama points out in his moments of resolve, we just had an election to decide whether to raise taxes on the rich or to cut Social Security and Medicare. He won. The party that would favor the wealthy and sock the middle class yet again lost.
As the bargaining gets serious, the president has a strong hand. But he needs to play it a lot better than he has been.

Why does Obama, who's in a superb tactical position, compromise to make nice? Beats me. Why do my colleagues? Why are we liberal academic types--apart from me--so averse to controversy, so keen on reconciliation, so reluctant to beat the crap out of enemies and bosses to get our way when we have the chance? Peace, joy, love--ugh. Crucify them.

Other commentators have written that there is a "coming Liberal Wave" in article that strike me as somewhat reminiscent of trend assessments I've heard in marketing strategy sessions. Since the days of Eddie Bernard, voters have been viewed as a tool and somewhat as a substrate for product by BOTH major parties, rather than as THE PEOPLE and as key participants in a democratic process of self-determination. The thesis of the article is simply that the loyalty of young voters -- indeed any voters can be take for granted if they vote twice consecutively for the Democratic Party. It is a bit hard to see any substantive difference between the cynicism of David Axelrod and his attitude towards the poor and disadvantaged and the working poor and Mitt Romney/Karl Rove. The rhetoric is different, and the Axelrod's of this world do share some left-overs, but still. In marketing speak, if a young accepts the Democratic wrapper on what is to become policy per the process of realpolitik versus the Republican one for two same store trips, then the income stream is in the bag. Winning commish on sales of Soap flakes or getting potentially 24 CT bennies and income for life plus insider trading with impunity? If Obama was sending up a trial balloon and he and his Goldman originated or destined cohort cut a Grand Deal and push us all off the Cliff to further feed Wall Street, then this line of thinking will reap what it merits- pretty much the rejection of business as usual and the building of a new paradigm and new parties. Burnham Wood to Dunsinane yonder doth march anon...hssst, the drums, the drums!

If there is one thing that has remained constant over the past 4 years is that the Republicans aren't really interested in negotiating anything. They have remained committed to making everyone else shoulder the sacrifice while protecting the interests of the most wealthy. I think its time for Obama to grow a pair and stand firm.

Bronze sculpture is one figurative art form that lends itself most naturally to raw renderings of human emotion. The deep, lustrous metal alloy has a range of surface qualities that, in the hands of a capable sculptor, can be used to express vivid pathos.
Just take a look at these powerful photos of some of the 28 bronze statuettes that comprise "Beauty and Power," a new exhibition at the Huntington Library.
Visitors to the exhibit are getting a rare look at Renaissance and Baroque bronzes from the private collection of New York architect Peter Marino.
Originating from Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands, the bronzes date back to between 1500 and the mid-18th century.
The exhibition opened at the Wallace Collection in London in April. Before that, most of the works never had been on public view.
The Huntington is the first venue in the exhibit's U.S. tour.
On display through Jan. 24, 2011. MaryLou and George Boone Gallery at The Huntington, 1151 Oxford Rd., San Marino. (626) 405-2100, huntington.org

Good product was a great graduation gift. Shipped well and on time.
I bought this as a gift, and was very pleased with the quality of it. It's large and spacious and the black leather was soft and looked really great. I had it monogrammed and it was still shipped to me very quickly. Would absolutely recommend!
Product was received very timely and is of excellent quality. It is a high school graduation gift.
high quality supple leather. Perfect size!
I have only had my bag for a short time, but, it is just what I wanted. More than adequate space for all my items ... especially those larger plastic pill containers. Looks great too. Very pleased with my purchase.
5* Service and 5* Product. I ordered this last minute (18 Dec) in the hopes it would arrive for Xmas. It arrived on 22 Dec. Did I mention it was personalized, which typically takes longer and not to mention this is one of their busies periods so I was delighted when it arrived in time and even more delighted when I opened the box. The toiletry bag itself was packaged in a gorgeous gift box (it screams quality) and I am more than pleased with the bag itself, gorgeous black leather with silver embossed initials on the side. I will definitely be ordering more items from this website.
This was a Xmas present for my husband. He loved it! Gorgeous leather and plenty of room for essentials.
Ordered online with no issues. Requeste special delivery. Kit arrived as asked,and the recipient is very pleased. It is handsome.
I have spent hours looking for a leather shaving kit. I found this one and it was perfect. The stitching was beautiful and the color isn't a color I have seen. The price was fair and the packaging was out of this world. That alone was worth it's weight in gold. I also had it monogrammed. I was a little disappointed with the monogramming. But it was my choice. In hind sight, I probably would not have had the kit monogrammed. I believe I made an excellent choice purchasing this shaving kit.
Look no further for the finest quality men's toiletry bag!. This particular one is roomy, classy and of the highest quality. The presentation is unmatched for finesse and quality if you're looking for a special gift.
Beautiful quality and the monogram is great as well.
I love the products on this site! I am never disappointed and the turn around is always very fast.
I purchased this for my fiance as an xmas gift and it came in such a beautiful box that I dont even need to wrap it! The leather is amazing and I had his initials added. Beyond classy!
I have never seen such perfection! The product and the wrapping was perfect!
I ordered this as a holiday gift for hubby and it's far more beautiful than it looks online. The softest leather, the black color is just beautiful. It comes beautifully packaged as well. I put his initials on it in gold. A truly lovely gift. He's going to be thrilled!
Very please with the quality of the product, as well as the packaging. Love the feel of the leather, and the lettering exceeded expectations.
I love the chocolate color and received it ASAP...I then bought one in Black!
Love your stuff!
I am so glad that I found LEATHEROLOGY online!
They have SUCH QUALITY items.....this toilety bag was BEAUTIFUL....not to even mention that they put it in a amazing gift box that most places charge for!!!!!...I would and have recommended LEATHEROLOGY...and their customer service is great too!
Beautiful toiletry bag, my husband loved it! The quality is worth the price and the packaging was so nice, I didn't have to wrap it. Highly recommend!
Received the bag. It was received within the time promised. Packaging really nice with the box and stretch ribbon. I purchased it for a birthday gift and the recipient was very pleased.
Shipped promptly and is beautiful.
Very nice bag as advertised
Loved this item from top to bottom. The quality was even better than I expected. It said "elegance" right from the beginning with the beautiful packaging, handsome gift box and exquisite blank card that came with. The bag is soft but functional and the monogram is accurate and makes subtle but sophisticated statement. Additionally, this item arrived days ahead of what I expected. I plan to purchase another for my son's birthday in a few months.
Very nice product...exactly what my husband was looking for. Delivery occurred as promised. Gift box/packaging was awesome. Thank you!
The recipient of the toiletry bag was very happy with it. We liked the color and the initials. Also, happy withthe quick delivery as it was on time for Christmas. Thanks!

Beautiful kit in beautiful packaging. Monogram looks terrific. Love it.
This is a beautiful bag. Soft and smells of leather.
Already sent an e-mail expressing my gratitude for the prompt service.
My wife bought this for Father's Day for me and I needed a new one desperately. I love the cognac color and my initials were in gold on the side which makes it more personalized. I travel a lot for my job and this will be used quite a bit and with the quality of the leather, I have no doubt it will last for many years to come. Thanks for a great product!
I bought the travel bag as a birthday present. It is gorgeous and the leather is soft and creamy. The packaging is amazing although the leatherology box does have a dent. I am sure it will be a successful gift!
I bought this for my husband-to-be as a wedding gift, and it is gorgeous. It came in a beautiful gift box, without my requesting that, smelled like wonderful leather and it and the embossed monogram looked lovely. very happy with it.
We ordered these toiletry bags as gifts for our wedding party. I was so delighted with this bag It is the best quality leather and the option to personalize make it the perfect gift.
My husband and I are doing traditional anniversary gifts and our third year was leather. This gift came beautifully wrapped. IT was so soft and smelled heavenly! It's maiden voyage will be to Hawaii in a couple weeks! Great product! Highly recommended!!!
Arrived beautifully wrapped, with a bag to store it in when not being used. The leather is lovely, appears to be top quality. The bag is well made, sturdy, classy. Purchased for adult son for Christmas. Think he will be very pleased. We were, especially after going through many websites to review possibilities. This site will be at the top of our list for future purchases.

Very good quality product
The double zipper is great. Lots of space and and a great design. All together an awesome toiletry travel bag. Would recommend to anyone.
I gave this as a gift, and the item as well as the packaging were received with much surprise and pleasure. The travel bag has the two compartments, no inside pockets for those who may wonder. My husband was extremely pleased with the product.

For Immediate Release: May 10, 2011
The City of Alexandria invites the public to join Mayor William D. Euille and members of City Council to celebrate and dedicate the opening of the renovated community building located at 4109 Mount Vernon Ave., on Sunday, May 15 at 1 p.m. The event will occur rain or shine.
The City acquired the open space properties at 4109-4125 Mount Vernon Ave., including the former Duron Paint store building at 4109 Mount Vernon Ave., in January 2007 as part of the City's Open Space Program. In June 2010, a Special Use Permit was approved to convert the old paint store into a community building for public use.
A local group of architects, Architects Anonymous, donated their time to develop a plan to preserve the building through environmentally sustainable design elements. The newly renovated building will be open seasonally and will feature a new, large entrance and stage area on the north side, accessible restrooms, a small workroom, and a large open area that can be used for:
The City is grateful to Whiting Turner and Sherwin Williams/Duron Paint for the donation of their time and materials, as well as a large number of citizens and local groups who volunteered their time to renovate the building and improve the surrounding space.
Come early and shop at the Four Mile Run Farmers' and Artisan's Market (4MRMarket), open Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. In conjunction with the grand opening of the building, 4MRMarket will accept SNAP/EBT for the first time! In a collaborative project with the Partnership for a Healthier Alexandria and Inova Health System, SNAP participants will be now able to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables and other goods at the farmers market. As part of this project, Inova is sponsoring a "Double Dollar" program that doubles the first $10 SNAP participants spend at the market. 4MRMarket is the first farmers' market in Northern Virginia to accept SNAP.
The City of Alexandria is committed to compliance with the City's Human Rights Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act. To request a reasonable accommodation or to request materials in an alternative format, please call Laura Durham, Open Space Coordinator, at 703.746.5493, (TTY 703.838.4902), or e-mail email@example.com.

PORT OF RICHMOND, California - April 24, 2012 will be a date that will go down in the storied history of the USS Iowa. Late Tuesday morning crews placed the battleship's original mast back onto the WWII era vessel.
"It's a major milestone on our path," said Robert Kent, president of the Pacific Battleship Center, the organization working to restore the Iowa.
The mast had been removed in 2001 when the Navy moved the Iowa to a reserve fleet in Suisun Bay, Calif. In late 2011 the Navy awarded the ship to the Pacific Battleship Center, who will eventually turn the ship into a floating museum in the Los Angeles area. Currently the ship is docked at the Port of Richmond, near San Francisco.
"We can't bring it back to Iowa," said Jeff Lamberti, a lead fundraiser on the project and the former Republican leader of the Iowa Senate. "Los Angeles will be a great place for the world to see (the Iowa)."
On February 1, Governor Branstad signed a bill pledging $3 million in support of the project.
"I'm glad they're saving the ship, there's a history there, and people of Iowa should be very proud," said WWII veteran Mike Wunderlich, who periodically works as a volunteer on the ship.
Crews used a giant barge to lift the 52 thousand pound mast more than 100 feet in the air and place it on top of the ship. An Iowa quarter was placed underneath the mast before it was welded back onto the ship, a Navy tradition.
"I'm thrilled for the state of Iowa because this is a very meaningful ship," said Bob Rogers, a Pacific Battleship Center volunteer who has spent the last decade fighting to save the vessel. "This is the last major element of the ship to go up."
The USS Iowa is perhaps most notable for serving as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's personal ship during WWII. The Iowa carried him across the Atlantic ocean in 1943 to meet with allied leaders. The ship is equipped with a handicap accessible bathtub, which FDR needed because he battled polio, although few people knew it at the time.
Crews will being towing the Iowa towards the Los Angeles area on May 20, ahead of a July 4 opening ceremony.

BETHB4GE BT R6 t t r . r l ^ H P A G t UB W<f§ OLDBETHWGE also serving ISLAND TREES PLAINVIEW PLAINEDGE SEAFORD VOL. 9 NO. 23 Off the Press. Thursday, May 1,1975 10 cents per copy Space Shuttle Takes First Journey A disaster plan for emergency health care for New York State citizens was unanimously approved today by the House of Delegates of the Medical Society of the State of New York, the plan could be implemented immediately if appropriate legislation to solve the malpractice crisis is not passed by July 1, and doctors are forced to withdraw from private practice on that date. "Although the decision to closedown his practice is one that must be made by each individual doctor, most New York physicians indicate they will be unable to practice unless they can obtain malpractice insurance protection at reasonable rates," said Dr. George T. C. Way, chairman of the committee that drafted the dissaster plan. "However, doctors cannot abondon their responsibilities to the citizens of the state, and have approved a disaster plan that will provide health care to citizen in need or emergency care." Under the plan, local task forces in each community of the state would designate facilities for emergency care and staff these facilities with duty physicians on a 24-hour basis. Additionally, a 24- hour-a-day Patient Information Bureau would be established at each facility to answer questions and provide the necessary guidance. "Whether this plan can go into effect depends on securing emergency legislation that will ensure liability protection for any physician providing whatever emergency services they may be % required," Dr. Way said. "Obviously, no doctor can legitimately care for patients if the threat of fiscal disaster hangs over his head." Patients who visit an emergency health care facility in each community first will be categorized to determine whether the complaint involves a genuine emergency. "Presently, criteria that will place a patient in the "emergency' category are: trauma requiring medical care; bleeding; pain; sepsis; coma; dyspnea at rest (difficulty with breathing); labor; acute psychosis; violent or suicidal behavior; and acute drug intoxication," Dr. Way said. All patients will be examined by a licensed physician at the emergency facility. Two basic privileges available in normal medical care will be bypassed if the medical diaster plan goes into effect, Dr. Way said. "One, of course, is the patient's free choice of a physician. The other is continuing care by the same physician." The care of patients would be the responsibility of the duty physician during his tour of duty. The duty physician will brief his replacement on every patient when the tour of duty is changed. The admitting physician will also complete a history and physical for each patient's chart, as well as the admitting diagnosis and a complete outline of the diagnostic work to be done. It is our fervent hope that the legislature will act to correct the current malpractice crisis with the necessary legal changes that will make it possible for physicians to obtain malpractice insurance at reasonable costs. If this is done, the disaster plan will never have to be put irito effect. But, given the .current state of legislative action, a system for emergency care for the life and death needs of our citizens must be devised now," HARVARD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL AND MERCY HOSPITAL, Rockville Centre, Long Island, New York, jointly announced today the establishment of an educational affiliation in Continuing Education for Physicians. This is the fjirst time that Harvard Medical School Department of Continuing Education will undertake an educational liaison with a community hospital outside of Massachusetts. * A curriculum of lectures covering advances in specialized aspects of Internal Medicine, and other specialties, to start in June, is being developed for the Mercy Hospital Professional Staff and will be open to all practicing physicians on Long Island. Enrollment in the course will quality physicians to receive American Medical Association Physician's Recognition Award on an hour per hour basis. "The educational affiliation will bring to Long Island physicians the most advanced knowledge in modern medicine and thus will benefit our patients", said Richard C. "Herrmann, Administrator of Mercy Hospital, a 391-bed .voluntary, non-profit, acute care community hospital with a professional staff of 439 qualified physicians. "It is our hope that this collaborative venture will fulfill the expectations of the Mercy Hospital staff as well as other physicians who wish to participate. The enthusiasm that has been evident in all of our discussions argurs well for the success of the program", said Dr. Stephen E. Goldfinger, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Associate Dean of Harvard Continuing Education Department. "The courses being given by Harvard Medical School will be open to all physicians on Long Island who wish to attend. A question and answer period will accompany each session and at times interesting cases drawn from actual cases of hospitals in this area will be presented", said Dr. Felix Monaco, President of the Professional Staff. "A new chapter is beginning in the history of the medical Bethpage, New York, April 25, 1975 ... The first set of wings, designed and built by Grumman Aerospace Corporation for Rockwell International's Space Division, the prime contractor for NASA's Space Shuttle Or-biter, will leave Bethpage this week for an 18-day journey which will end in Palmdale, California, site for the Orbiter's final assembly. The two-wing panels, each measuring 30 feet from tip to fuselage and 60 feet in width where they join the fuselage, will depart from Grumman's Bethpage, Long Island, facility and travel nine miles overland to Oyster Bay, aboard two large, specially-designed transporters. The transporters will have their own braking and lighting systems, and each will be pulled by a truck at a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour. The initial leg of the journey is estimated to take two hours. At the Rydell-Oyster Pier in Oyster Bay, the wing panels, totaling approximately 1,500 square feet of surface and 12,000 pounds in weitht and wrapped in a moisture-proof soft cover, will be loaded by crane, along with the transporters, onto a waiting barge. A tugboat will pull the barge, west through Long Island Sound and the East River, to the Sea- Land Terminal in Port Elizabeth, New Jersey, " where the wing assemblies will be transferred to an ocean-going container ship. The ship will travel, for about 13 days by way of the Panama Canal, to Long Beach, California. Upon arrival at Long Beach, the two transporters, with the wing panels still secured, will proceed overland, north through Los Angeles to Palmdale, California, a distance of about 100 miles which will take two days to cover. Grumman Aerospace Corporation was awarded a contract in excess of $40 million to design, manufacture and test the wings for the Space Shuttle Orbiter, in March 1973, by Rockwell International. The Orbiter wing, made in two panels, has a" "double Delta" design. Aluminum is the primary material, and truss-type ribs and corrugated-web spars were used in the construction to provide a low cost, lightweight, high reliability design. The Space Shuttle Orbiter, the first reusable space vehicle, is a space, airplane which can fly in the atmosphere like conventional aircraft and in space like a space vehicle. It has the capability of .carrying a variety of payloads into orbit as well as retrieving them for trturn to earth. Most of the United States' efforts in space during the 1980's and 1990's will in some way be related to the Space Shuttle transportation system. The system will significantly reduce the cost because of its reusability, while at the same time increasing the effectiveness of using space for commercial, scientific and defense needs. Grumman Aerospace Corporation's accomplishments in space exploration are significant. The Company designed and built the unmanned Oribiting Astronomical Observatory series of spacecraft. Data from these spacecraft have resulted in greater understanding of the 'origin and evolution of our universe. The Apollo Lunar Module (LM), also designed and built by Grumman, was the world's first true manned spacecraft. Today, six LM descent stages stand on the moon as testimony to one of the g r e a t e s t technological achievements in history. NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, is responsible for management of the Space Shuttle Program. Jerry Augusta Wins Point On Bus Cost Last January the BETHPAGE TRIBUNE reported in its School Board Report a request by local resident to look into the cost of school buses in the Bethpage District. Raybern Bus Service Inc. education of physicians on Long Island who, in addition to being privileged to be located in the vicinity of the several New York medical schools, will now have the opportunity to participate locally in a comprehensive program featuring the faculty of Harvard Medical School, so that they may be better equipped to serve their patients in a time of rapidly advancing medical science", said Dr. Agim Leka, who originated the idea for the liaison in initial conversations with Dr. Goldfinger. Associate Dean of Harvard Medical School (Continued on Page 8) of Farmingdale had been servicing the district for many years and like other costs to the District, transportation costs were constantly rising. Jerry Augusta, the interested resident requested the Board check the contract and see if a lower rate could be achieved. Board President Anthony LoFaso announced at this week's Board meeting that the Raybern contract has been extended for the fourth year at a reduced rate of $635 for each of 16 buses used by the district. Augusta stated, "I feel I accomplished something," and as one observer noted it shows you how one person can* really make things happen. LoFaso explained that the new rate is corn-- parable to neighboring districts. Bethpage will pay $13,750 for each bus and continue to pay the cost of the gasoline. Plainedge pays $13,700 and Plainview. Old Bethpage pays $13,990. Both districts have written into the contract that the bus company pays for the gas. The Board had the option of extending the Raybern contract for another year. A new contract will be up for bid next year.

Financial aid for Summer Semester is very limited!
It is extremely important that you apply early if you plan to enroll in summer courses. The 2015 Summer Semester Financial Aid Form will be available to request summer financial aid. This form is for students that are planning to attend during the summer semester and hope to receive financial aid. In order to be considered for financial aid a student must:
A student who does not utilize all of his or her Pell Grant award during Fall and Spring Semesters has funds available for use during Summer Semester. For example, a student with an annual Pell Grant award of $2400, who enrolls half-time during Fall Semester and full-time during Spring Semester, typically receives $1800 ($600 Fall + $1200 Spring) during the regular academic year. This leaves an additional $600 available for use during Summer Semester.
Other grant funds (SEOG, COMA, CSAP, PTAP) come from fixed annual allocations to the institution, and typically are very limited as we move into Summer Semester. It is possible that some of these funds will be available for use at that time, though we can provide no guarantee. Assuming that some funds do remain, it certainly will be to your advantage to return your Financial Aid Request as soon as possible.
Your award(s) will be based on the number of credits for which you register. If you decide upon a different enrollment status from the one you initially indicate, please inform the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible so that your award(s) may be revised in an expedient manner. If you do not inform us of a change in your enrollment status, your award(s) will still be adjusted accordingly at the end of the add/drop period, but additional complications could arise.
Please be reminded that all awards are contingent upon your continuing compliance with the institution's satisfactory academic progress standards. If you are not in compliance at the end of Spring Semester, your Summer Semester financial aid awards will be canceled. You will then be notified of the need to pay the balance due on your student account to ensure that your course(s) will not be dropped.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.

This SRAM X0 2x10 High Direct Mount Front Derailleur is kind of a big deal, in one way at least. After all, it's configured to fit the Shimano designed direct mount. Don't be confused with their Low Direct Mount, which is an E-Type without the E-plate, also mounting directly to the frame or in some cases, a swingarm. The easiest way to recognize this X0 High Direct Mount Front Derailleur is that it's a traditionally styled, bottom swing design.
The X0 2x10 High Direct Mount Front Derailleur is specifically designed to work in conjunction with SRAM's 2x10 cranksets. As such, it's made to handle up to a 15-tooth differential between the big and little rings. Its cage is shorter and narrower than a triple-specific changer. This is great news for those who fear clearance between their rear suspension and their front derailleur.
The aluminum links that shape the swing of the derailleur cage have widely spaced pivots for awesome stiffness. This rigidity inherent in the parallelogram is part of what makes X0 front shifting so quick and efficient. The derailleur cage is made from steel for maximum durability and is shaped for optimum performance with their X-Glide chainrings.
The SRAM X0 2x10 High Direct Mount Front Derailleur is configured to work as either top or bottom pull and bolts straight into a Shimano-style Direct Mount on your frame.

We had a low key Valentines day where we barely left the house, put the kids to bed at 7, ordered in Chinese food, and watched movies and funny TV. I even got to sew…and stare at these lovelies from Jay next to my machine:
Ben got a load of Valentines and candy that he downed within an hour…but since it was SUCH a nice day he spent the whole after noon playing outside with friends and eluded my camera. Fresh air and sunshine was just what he needed.
And I snuggled with Ryan….and cleaned up after him…as he is now a semi-walking tornado of destruction.
Hope you had a nice one too!
PS. I feel like a big jerk….I told you that I would have a tutorial up for this quilt….but I took some advice from a new friend who knows what she's doing…and I'm not posting the tutorial here. It will be available…not sure when…but I'll let you know. I'm so sorry…I really feel like a jerk. But please if you have any specific questions about it or sizing...don't hesitate to email me (email@example.com) So Sorry!
P.S.S. Just ignore the fact that I just used 38 …'s (dot dot dot's) in this post….yikes. :)
