Our Billfold with Removable Passcase is straightforward and simple - and that's the way we like it!
Our Vero collection is drum dyed, aniline, buttery soft Nappa leather. This classic Italian leather makes it a great choice for pairing with other leather items, as its natural look can blend with almost anything. Vero is our most popular collection and works well as a stylish luxury accessory for yourself or a gift for a friend.
Bought this for my husband and he loves it. Cannot find this style in any stores. Got for his birthday and his is very appreciative.
Wallet is everything that they said it was.Outstanding quality.The wallet works for me.Very happy.
I ordered three of these to give my brothers and brother-in-law for being groomsman in my wedding. They look great! Nice, clean, stylish wallets.
I got it as a gift for my husband and he loves it , great quality and workmanship.
Passcase isn't reversible which makes flipping your id out in convenience stores a tad laborious. Dimensions are a little bigger than average bi-fold which on the bright side makes getting it out of tighter pants easier. It lays a lot thinner than I'm used to which may not be a bad thing but I'm definitely not used to it. Nice leather and of course great packaging. Didn't have a lot of other things in the same leather for accessorizing which was disappointing.
This billfold is attractive, sturdy and holds everything my husband had in his old wallet. The removable section is very convenient.
The product came out beautiful! I got this wallet for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day in signature Black Onyx with his initials in silver and it's absolutely beautiful! The leather quality is great and very smooth. He loved it as well. We both thought it was a little bit on the bigger size, but still quite functional. Overall, it was great quality, it was my first time ordering from Leatherology, and I definitely recommend them! I will definitely be a returning customer!
Billfold is beautiful. Picture does not do it justice. Box it arrives in is top notch. Well worth it. Highly recommend.
Never having ordered from Leatherology, I didn't didn't know what to expect. When the item came, I was very excited with just the packaging. It came in a handsome box, and the leather protective piece was so smart. The wallet itself is very fine leather; so soft and nice looking. It is just what my husband wanted as far as function. I will definitely be ordering again from Leatherology and most likely ordering this same wallet for my son.
My orig. order was lost by ups and they were not sure it would arrive by xmas. It was monogramed so I needed to order another wallet but not get it personalozed. your great customer service helped get the new order placed and helped find the lost order from ups.It all turned out great. The 2 wallets arrived on the 23 of Dec. I have sent second wallet back. My husband loved thw monogramed wallet and I owe it all to your customer service dept. Thanks Pat Skillern
a beautiful wallet, with monogram. well-made, buttery soft. highly recommended!
I fell in love with this wallet since I saw it online, but it is much better when you have it. I chose this like a Christmas Present for my husband, in combination with the checkbook, and I am pretty sure he will love it! Great quality, great design, great color!
This was my second purchase from Leatherology and I've been extremely satisfied with the look and quality of their products.
I'll buy again!
It's exactly what I was hoping for. He's going to enjoy receiving it.
This wallet is definitely huge. It is a lot bigger than I was expecting even when I went over the dimensions. My previous wallet was great because it fit easily in the hand and pocket. I don't why it has to be so big because dollar bills certainly aren't this big. Also they should put the ID card pocket holder on the left side where it is easier to reach. Leather does smell very good. Hopefully the stiching lasts a long time.
The leather is excellent, soft leather. I have purchased item before from Leatherology. I knew I would not be disappointed.
I bought this wallet as a gift for my brother for being my Best Man. It's very high quality. The monogram is perfect and just subtle enough to be nice but not too much. I'm very happy with the price, the quality and the nice box it came in - perfect for gift giving.
I was more than happy with the efficient delivery of the billfold and the packaging. The recipient has told me he is extremely pleased with the billfold. He now has enough card slots to keep him organized. The size, quality and craftsmanship is wonderful. The non-embossed monogram looks very nice as well.
If you're looking for top grade leather for your wallet here it is. Build quality is excellent. Couldn't have done it better myself. Fits large bills too.
Thanks leatherology!!
Beautiful wallet. I was delighted by the credit card holders and lots of pouches.
I absolutely loved the quality and look of this wallet.
I recently purchased this item and couldn't be more satisfied with it.
I opted to get the custom etching on it, which was a nice touch as it allowed to put my favorite band's name on it.
The soft leather is in fact smooth and soft, yet feels durable and of high-quality.
Bought this as a gift for my son and had it monogrammed with his initials. It came beautifully packaged, wonderfully soft leather and not bulky. My son loved it!
Beautiful quality leather. Well made with 8 pockets for credit cards and side pockets for additional cards. The pass case is what makes this wallet unique. The slot in the window to make removing a licnense or another identification card is a very clever and practical idea. The billfold is worth every penny and when compared with Coach it is as well made as their products and the leather used is as good a quality as any used by Coach. Excellent purchase.
very satisfied
I purchased this wallet by only seeing a picture on the website. I have no regrets ordering this wallet. I like to own top quality products, regardless of what I am buying, and this wallet delivers quality, appearance, and the space for everything us guys need to carry.
Thanks for a quality leather wallet!
Excellent quality, soft leather, very nice product
The wallet is very great quality but the chocolate brown is darker than it appears on the website. I ordered it for my husband and had it monogrammed which turned out very nice.
This wallet was a gift for my husband. He normally uses a Coach billfold, but I found this one and wanted to give it a try. I was so pleased by the high quality and the suppleness of the leather. It arrived quickly and was packaged beautifully. I had it monogrammed so I'm sure glad that he loves it so much!
My son is very pleased with the quality of his new wallet.
exactly what I wanted
Beautiful, Classy wallet.
I purchased this wallet to give as a christmas gift. I thousgt it was a nice wallet. I hope the person that I brought it for likes just as much as I do.
Great quality, very fast shipping! Very pleased with my entire experience!
Excellent quality.
A buttery fine Leather cannot be compromised and any man would adore to have his initials embossed on such superb quality. It truly is uniquely distinguished.
just fine
I got it as a gift for my husband for his birthday. He loved it. The quality is very good and model is perfect for regular use. I'm very happy to have chosen this product.
Bought this for my boyfriends birthday and got his initals embossed on it aswell, and I was very pleased with the speedy delivery (received only 2 days after I ordered it) and it's great quality. We both love it!
This is a world-class product, could not be more satisfied!
I ordered this wallet as a gift for my son. It arrived on time and everything was of the highest quality, including the packaging. The wallet met and surpassed the description listed. The leather is buttery soft, the color was as pictured, and the initials look very professional. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and have already recommended Leatherology to a friend.
Nicely made. Lots of storage spaces for credit cards, etc.
Very pleased with all products , everything top of the line.
Highly recommended! My product was received sooner than expected and elegantly wrapped. The product alone was exquisite and just as described in their online catalog. It was worth EVERY penny!
I was very impressed with the way the wallet was boxed and presented. Very classy and elegant. The leather the wallet is made of is unique and beautifully crafted. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
i was a little hesitant at first about spending 90 dollars on a wallet but i kept telling my self you get what you pay for and in this case i got more than what i paid for, the wallet is perfect and the size listed was dead on which is very important to me, it holds my cards tightly so i don't have to worry about them falling out like cheap department store wallets almost the same price and even shipped out the same day :) great company!
Great wallet, great case that it came in. Adds so much value to a gift. The only reason I gave it 4 - it is a little too bulky but hopefully that will get better with time. I would definitely recommend this to other people!
The wallet is very handsome and my husband loved it. We are impressed with the quality of your products. The presentation is so nice too.
My husband was very pleased with this wallet! I bought it for him as a birthday gift and it arrived quickly, wrapped in a protective cloth and in a very nice box. It is extremely well made and the monogram is the perfect touch. There is also a special pocket for the ID holder to fit into so it does not fall out. We definitely recommend!
It was a gift for my fiance. He was very pleased with the quality of the leather and the personalization of his initials on it. It was an excellent gift and it arrived in a very timely manner. We are both very pleased with it. Thanks!
The wallet is beautiful! It's for my son for Christmas, and he's really going to love it, especially with the monogram. Thanks so much.
This made a great gift for my boyfriend. It wasn't too bulky and the leather was very soft. The monogram was readable and looked great.?
I love the wallet! I received it in time and just love the gift packing. I am impressed by your timely service, Thank you!
The wallets were very nice and the initials turned out to be great!
This is the second item I have bought from your store and i the service and product was wounderful. Thanks I will be shoping with you again very soon.
Better than expected, loved the item, great quality, will shop again!
This wallet is the perfect gift. It is very good quality leather, and very well-designed.
Very Pleased with this product.
Beautiful leather and superior workmanship makes this wallet a real Pleasure! Also, the option to personalize is great for gifts.
I bought this wallet for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. It is a beautiful wallet and has all the space you need. Really nice leather. Also, terrific customer service from Leatherology. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Wallet, the totchiment is very smooth and soft but stitch is very tight. the quolity is also very good, i think. there is a pocket inside to hold ID passcase. so you dont have to worry if you might drop or lose. i liked it. today dec 24th, i was success to make my husband smile! he gave me a biiiiiig hug and said he hasnt had any wallet with name initial. to have it on the wallet made him to feel the only one. the internet shopping, always get risks of material,quolity that you cant see from pictures. BUT i can tell, i am sure you would be satisfied. the reason i dont rate 5stars, the envelope was dirty and lil bit messed up message card.

VALPARAISO – The giant shark hanging from the rafters brought back memories.
Memories of oyster bars, the ones with Formica tabletops, rice in the salt shakers, and a bigmouth bass taxidermed in mid-chomp and mounted above the bell on the front door. You knew their seafood was fresh because the boat that brought it in was docked at the pier out back.
Those are the oyster bars of my youth, the joints where my folks introduced me to raw oysters. It was the 1960s, when days were longer and the clock didn't move as fast.
Doc's Oyster Bar reminds me of those places. It has the funky décor and the waterfront setting, and it has oysters – lots and lots of oysters.
For the faint of palate Doc's offers other goodies from the surf or of the turf. But oysters are its raison d'être.
Pretty fancy way of saying "Doc's does oysters."
The food
OK, let's get something out of the way. Some folks won't go near a raw oyster. They look at that plump, juicy mollusk sitting in its half shell and see: blech.
They're depriving themselves of a serious life pleasure. Raw oysters aren't slimy, and they're not gross. They're reasonably firm and when correctly eaten, taste delicious.
How do you "correctly" eat a raw oyster? Simple. Spear it with a fork and dip it in cocktail sauce that's been fortified with horseradish. Plop that sucker on a saltine cracker and put the whole thing in your mouth. Chew only enough to get the cracker broken into swallowable pieces, and run it down the hatch.
Doc's sells a dozen raw oysters for $10 or six for $6. If you're a raw oyster hater, Doc's will cook 'em any number of ways, from chargrilled to baked Atchafalaya style (with Andouille sausage, caramelized onions, remoulade, diced tomatoes and green onions), Caesar Salad-style, three-cheese jalapeno, Mignonette, something called Swampfire oysters (spicy Swampfire butter and Parmesan cheese) and Buffalo oysters (bleu cheese, cream, Doc's Sauce and bleu cheese crumbles). Prices range from $15.50 to $18 a dozen.
But Doc's makes more than oysters. Try the peel-and-eat shrimp, tuna dip, and seafood gumbo. Or, if your tastes lean more to terrestrial, order up a Nathan's hot dog — it comes with chili, but the rest of the ingredients you add yourself. They include cheese sauerkraut, onions, peppers, jalapenos, relish or even kimshi.
You can also order brats, burgers, a mahi mahi sandwich, a grilled chicken breast sandwich, Doc's corn (served with butter, lime juice and feta cheese) or Cajun boiled peanuts – yum! Some of these items aren't listed on the menu so be sure to ask.
Doc's has a full bar and offers a serious beer menu, both domestic and craft. In fact, the entire back page of the menu is devoted to craft beers by the bottle or on draft. Local brews include Pensacola Bay Riptide Amber and Grayton Pale Ale.
What kind of fool goes to an oyster bar and orders a hot dog? (This fool meekly raises his hand.)
But hold on. I like my oysters raw, the way nature intended. I've shucked and eaten enough oysters in my life to know what they taste like, and I'd rather wait for a month with a few more R's in it than early October to indulge my raw oyster habit. So I explored other parts of the menu, as did my dining companion. Here's what we got:
Peel-and-eat shrimp: Big, yummy shrimp served with a spicy cocktail sauce and an extra container for the shells.
Tuna dip: A heaping helping of this substantially thick dip served with pepper crackers. Enough for two people.
Nathan's hot dog: A big ol' dog that snaps when you bite into it. Very tasty.
Hamburger: My companion finished half and we took the other half home – it was that big.
The atmosphere
Doc's is dressed out with stuffed varmints, old photos, and nautical knick-knacks hanging from the ceiling or mounted on the walls. You can sit inside and watch TV, or sit outside on the deck that overlooks Tom's Bayou. They've also got a lower deck nestled within an outcropping of palms which is more intimate. Both are lighted for nighttime use.
The service
You place your order at the front counter and one of the friendly guys brings it to you. They seem to know everybody who comes in and they have a good time, which is what you want to see when you eat at a local restaurant like Doc's.
A final taste
Doc's harkens back to the good old days when boats docked with a hold of fresh seafood, and the locals gathered to enjoy the bounty. When cool weather arrives you'll want to sit on the deck with a foamy glass of Terrapin Hopsecutioner and a tray of plump oysters separating you from an empty stomach.
Don't rush yourself. Watch the sun go down. It's 1965 and you've got all the time in the world.

Man who police said shot himself charged with domestic assaultBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 29,2013MANCHESTER A man who police said admitted to shooting himself in the chest with a .22-caliber handgun on Dec. 31 in Manchester was arraigned on four felony charges Monday, the same charges on which he was scheduled to be arraigned the day after the shooting.
Donald J. Ely-Gardner, 27, of Manchester, pleaded innocent to two felony charges of first-degree aggravated domestic assault, two felony charges of second-degree aggravated domestic assault, which were modified for a previous conviction for violating an abuse prevention order, and a misdemeanor charge for violating the conditions of his release from custody.
Ely-Gardner was ordered held without bail until a hearing Friday to determine if hell be allowed to be released on bail or other conditions pending the outcome of the case.
In an affidavit, Officer Paul McGann of the Manchester Police Department said he had met with a woman on Dec. 26 who had a relationship with Ely-Gardner.
The woman said Ely-Gardner had kicked her feet out from under her at his home in Manchester on June 1 which caused her ankle to break. She said she had gotten X-rays the next day and was told her ankle had been shattered and she needed surgery.
The woman told police that doctors had to insert a metal plate and nine screws to repair the damage. She said she missed almost 60 days of work.
According to the woman, there had been another incident on Dec. 14 in which Ely-Gardner grabbed her hand and twisted her fingers until one of them broke.
At the time that McGann took the report, Ely-Gardner was still following conditions of release after he was arraigned in July on seven felony counts of violating an abuse prevention order. The charges, which are still pending, are felonies because Ely-Gardner had been convicted of violating an abuse prevention order in the past.
One of the conditions of release said that Ely-Gardner should not be charged with a new crime.
McGanns affidavit said that Ely-Gardner had been cited to appear in court on Dec. 31 but on the night before that date, Ely-Gardner reported he had been shot in the chest as the victim of a drive-by shooting.
Ely-Gardner was taken to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington and then flown by helicopter to the Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center for treatment.
In a press release, police said Ely-Gardner had admitted about a week after the shooting that the wound was self-inflicted.
Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said the shooting was still under investigation and no decision had been made about whether there would be charges filed against any of the people involved.
At the time of the shooting, police said Ely-Gardners friend, William Nichols Jr., of Manchester, had taken him to the police department.
Marthage said the incident proved there were no conditions that would keep the woman who reported the domestic assaults safe and certainly not (Ely-Gardner.)
Judge Cortland Corsones said in making his decision to hold Ely-Gardner without bail, he considered his mental condition.
Theres certainly some concern about his mental condition given the allegations of a self-inflicted gunshot wound as well as the allegations of violence in the most recent case, he said.

Did you hear about the invented accusations against Anthony Weiner? Liberals, the side of American politics that have brought you crazed delusions about George W. Bush's maniacal attempts to follow in Hitler's footsteps when he wasn't too busy covering his tracks on 9-11, have spoken on #weinergate and it-is-a-hoax.
As always, conservatives, like a global warming rally that could be canceled by a spring time snowfall, are the ones who refuse to live in reality.
Yet, the sunlight shining on this Dracula comes from DaTechGuy has made a lot of fantastic points of reality on this matter, but one in particular really is the show stopper...
(Weiner) has over 45K followers (45737 to be exact) I'm not one of them. He also follows only 194 people.
Until 48 hours ago one of those people was Genette Nicole Cordova tweetname @Gennette Noble the young lady who is at the center of this interesting event.
See the entire post here
How Weiner doesn't wave the white flag at the immutable fact that as a national public figure, who knows MANY important people, makes the very same girl who received a picture of him stuffing a roll of coins in his tighties a member of a very small group of people he thought was worth following. This is important, because it allows them to send each other private tweets nobody else can see, AKA the makings of a right-wing hoax.
This shows how truly stupid liberals think the public is. They can't help it. They talk to us and argue with us like we're dumb zombies because that is the absolute maximum capacity of their own intellect. As a Twitter user myself, I know this is a big fat digital blue dress. So from this point on only one of two things can happen:
The left's reaction to this has been interesting. Frankly, the whole thing just feels like a straight-to-video sequel of when "Billy Met Monica." It is just sex, right? So why don't they just put the smoking gun away and upgrade that old 90's mantra of theirs to "it's just sexting?"
Something like that does nothing to impeach the character he needs for the public to be assured he deserves their trust. After all, he didn't betray his constituents, just a bunch of sacred vows he promised to his wife. The bond between him and his many anonymous constituents will always be more unbreakable than his wedding ring next to the buzzsaw of infidelity.Add a comment
Using the same modern techonology that runs the TSA's naked scanners this "before and after" shows the silver lining for Democrats in the tawdry Weinergate story...
When seeking his wife's forgiveness he can be honest, probably for the first time in his life, and say that he's a changed man.Add a comment
You can hear a pin drop...
I Hate the Media has a great post of stories of the exceptionalism of American troops. Below is my favorite...
Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
"You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
"Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
"Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports upon arrival in France!"
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."
You could have heard a pin drop.

I just wanted to remind everyone what happened to our intrepid leader (great, I just vomited on my keyboard...must...keep...typing...) last year when he tried to celebrate this day.
It's nice to see that he's gracing Arlington National Cemetery with his presence this year as a perfectly timed poll on the military's opinion of him is released.
Speaking for the side of the political spectrum that never feels like they have to fake it...
Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all the soldiers and their families who have sacrificed for freedom we too often take for granted. God bless you.Add a comment
Between the stories at Red State and Doug Ross, you can get a pretty full picture of what seems to be going on with Anthony Weiner appearing to be the latest technologiclaly inept congressman to flaunt his marital infidelity via social networking.
Check out those links or you can read the story in a nutshell, pardon the pun (you'll understand in a second), below:
I'm not one to jump to conclusions, but I also don't believe in coincidence. So the only question I have left is what was this moron thinking? Thanks to the same modern technology that busted him, I have my answer.
If the light being shed on this is real, then the DemocRats in Weiner's district better start their engines, because this seat is opening up many years sooner than they anticipated.
The 21 year old girl gives her unbelieveable (not even a little) explanation here.Add a comment
So much for president perfect eh libs? I thought this was the guy that was going to restore our standing in the world! From the conservative standpoint his trip to Britain was a smashing success. A shorter way to put that is, "we told you so!"
He should open up a business...
The menu would be pretty robust:
France: Enough already! If I wanted red "whine" I'd go to my local party meeting.
India: "I'm not going anywhere near those dots, I've never had to connect any and I ain't starting now!"
Japan: "Seriously? Just because I'm bowing in this gay bar doesn't mean I'm desperate!"
Germany: "So whats up with Israel? Someone should really do something about them...am I right?"
Israel: "Umm, the Palestinians didn't cross the border, the border crossed them."

There is a new poll out that shows a majority of people would rather have lunch with President Obama over any of his would be GOP challengers.
Seriously? In fairness to the poll respondents this was probably taken well before Obama's state dinner with the Queen of England, where he showed that the only toast he doesn't screw up is the one he makes himself for breakfast.
I sort of understand the preference to have breakfast with a president over the wannabes. I personally wouldn't go that way with THIS president....
He'll help himself to your food, especially if it tastes better than his...and ESPECIALLY if it was more expensive.
Do you really want to see him bicker with Michelle as she whips out her calorie calculator? And on that note.....
Forget desert, unless Diet Coke now counts.
He'll assume your server is a Democrat, or....
He'll go on some unsolicited rant about how "the manifesto" probably exempts them.
He may excuse himself to brainstorm arguments for the Dream Act in the kitchen, regarless of its demographic.
Be prepared to have him tell you all the dumb things Biden does when they go out to eat, like the time he mistakened hors d'oeuvres for French prostitutes.
If he talks about his political views you may have to suffer throught frequent bathroom breaks, you can only be full of s**t for so long.
To make sure the meal doesn't drag on forever you should make TOTUS your plus one to help the president order his food. This guy took 16 hours to decide whether or not he wanted to off Osama bin Laden, what do you think he's going to do with a menu in his hands?
Most importantly, don't forget to make sure you have a tub of this on the table...
Just sayin'...I'd rather hang with someone who would let me try moose meat. Mmmmm...Add a comment
This is, like, strike 4 or 5 with the Obama's and the royals. I forget liberals, how much of an international embarrassment was President Bush again?

September 17, 2013 - The Constitution is old—really old. All of the men who spent the summer of 1787 behind closed doors in Philadelphia, debating and drafting, are like Roman demigods- and that is due, with good reason, to a reputation-lifting mythology that endows all of our founding fathers.

August 24, 2013 - On August 24, 1814, First Lady Dolley Madison fled the President's House as British troops advanced upon Washington, DC in the War of 1812. Before departing, Dolley made sure that Madison's important papers and a few pieces of silver were secured, as well as one of our great national treasures—Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington.

July 31, 2013 - This past month has resulted in some exciting finds at the site of the quarter for field slaves. After almost a year of excavating the site to find evidence for structures, we have finally identified two features that provide clues to the location for the homes of the field slaves that worked Madison's farm in the early 19th century.
June 20, 2013 - We invite all visitors to stop into the Grills Gallery and call on "Mother" Madison as did so many visitors to Montpelier two hundred years ago.

Nothing about Marvin Miller seemed feisty or controversial at first glance; the soft-spoken economist was a smallish man with gray hair and a tidy mustache.
But as a union leader, it was Miller who took on baseball's establishment in the late 1960s, eventually guiding players to an era of mega-salaries and free agency, thereby changing the landscape of American sports.
"Nobody realized how gargantuan the task was," he said years later. "Major league players were, at the time, truly brainwashed."
PHOTOS: Notable deaths of 2012
Miller died Tuesday at his home in Manhattan, several months after being diagnosed with liver cancer, his family announced. He was 95.
Historian Studs Terkel characterized him as "the most effective union organizer since John L. Lewis," the legendary mine workers leader. Hank Aaron, one of the game's most-prolific home run hitters, wrote that he "should be in the Hall of Fame [even] if the players have to break down the doors to get him in."
During Miller's tenure as head of the Major League Baseball Players Assn. from 1966 to 1982, average salaries rose from $19,000 to $241,000, in large part because he fought baseball's antitrust exemption and gave players the right to move from team to team.
"Marvin possessed a combination of integrity, intelligence, eloquence, courage and grace that is simply unmatched in my experience," said Donald Fehr, who later headed the players union. "Without question, Marvin had more positive influence over Major League Baseball than any other person in the last half of the 20th century."
But not everyone appreciated Miller. As basketball and football subsequently adopted free agency, fans saw higher ticket prices, work stoppages and a new order in which favorite players often switched teams.
"You may not like what he did," said David Carter, executive director of USC's Sports Business Institute, "but you can't argue with how he did it."
Before Miller's arrival on the scene, owners dominated the sport. It came as a shock when Dodgers stars Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale held out for more money in 1966, the team eventually signing them for $125,000 and $110,000, respectively.
That same spring, the ineffective players union went looking for a leader and was referred to Miller.
Born April 14, 1917, he had grown up in Brooklyn, and his fondest childhood memories included Dodgers games at Ebbets Field, a short subway ride from home.
Miller received an early education in trade unionism from his father, a garment district salesman who organized fellow workers. After graduating from New York University, he worked for the New York City welfare department before taking jobs as an economist with the War Production Board and the War Labor Board during World War II.
"It was kind of like a utopian dream," he said of the latter board, created to handle disputes between management and workers. "And it worked remarkably well."
Miller subsequently moved to the United Steelworkers, where he spent 16 years as a research economist and, later, assistant to the president. In 1963, President Kennedy appointed him to a national labor management panel.
After the players union approached him, Miller made the rounds at spring training, facing opposition from wary players.
"The club owners are saying that you're one bad guy; they're saying terrible things about you," he recalled hearing.
Miller told them: "If I represent you and, at some point down the road, you begin to hear management people praising me, it's time to fire me."

Marvin Miller headed the union effort that allowed players to choose new teams when their contracts ended, ushering in an era of multimillion-dollar free-agent deals.

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FPmantha better for fall than summer This maxi fits true to size, the top fits beautiful especially being flat chested. I thought the back would bother me but I just throw a slip on underneath and I am perfectly happy. One complaint about the dress is it is wayy to long and being 5'8 I don't run into this problem often. I may have to cut it but am scared of doing so. I cant wait till the fall to add a leather jacket on top!!! 8.30.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by stina89 my next side project I never gave this dress any thought until I saw the picture for one of the black pairs of ankle boots with this stunning effortlessly chic maxi skirt. One of the answers to the question posted said it was this dress in the picture, and it was the lighting/shadows that made it look like a skirt. So I don't like the top half of this dress, but the bottom half makes for a great skirt, so I've decided to cut the top part off and make a cool bunched/frayed edge. And the way the waist is done leaves little need for sewing skills (of which I have none). So I'm giving it four stars because I love the skirt, and the grey color isn't very see-through like some other reviewers have said. I'm in love! 8.19.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by northerngoddess great dress, wrong fabric I'm glad I tried this on in person instead of just going for it. This dress was so close to perfection. I think the shape would flatter most, it's comfy and versatile. I like how the cut-out in the back adds interest even though it means you can't wear just any bra. And I was super excited to find it had pockets, until I stuck my hands in the pockets and turned sideways - and saw my polkadot print underwear in full view. If this was just a standard cotton t-shirt fabric I think it would have been fine because the waistband provides enough bunching. But since it's made of this slub knit (that I am so tired of), when it stretches it's completely see-through. This can be solved with a slip, of course, but to me the main purpose of a maxi dress is to be a breezy, no-fuss outfit. And this definitely means it's not worth full price. So all that said, if it ends up on sale I will probably buy it along with a short cotton slip. For those interested in sizing: I'm 5'6, 135lbs, somewhere between hourglass and pear shaped, and small was the best fit. 8.6.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by LaMala So badly wanted this dress to work! I loved the look of this dress and admittedly being 5 months pregnant has had it's challenges. The waist hit a little too low to justify the roomy top portion. I felt the slits on the side where a little too high because the dress is a little too sheer, a slip or something would (I THINK) need to be worn. The coral color is pretty although I was hoping for a more red hue tint then an orange! I would also recommend you order down a size. Too bad this didn't work and I'm returning it! 7.29.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by megs3251 unsure... While this dress is very comfortable and flattering I definitely don't think it is worth its $88 price tag. The material is very thin and pretty see through. I'm still debating on whether or not to return this, mostly because I don't feel I got my money's worth. 7.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CocoM In love I absolutely love this dress. I bought it in the heather gray color and just love it so much. It is incredibly comfortable and cute! I got it in a small (I'm 5'6" and 120 lbs) and couldnt be happier. The fabric is a bit heavy for the Charlotte weather recently (in the 90's) but as soon as it cools down a bit I'll be wearing this everyday no doubt! 7.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alexandrarose22 LOVE This dress is so effortlessly cute! Its fit is really flattering and lays really nice. Its the perfect piece to just throw on and go on the summer/spring/fall! The coral color was bright and beautiful, and I am ordering the grey asap :) I am 5'3 110 pounds and the small fit perfect ! 7.1.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by HayleyFPUV Easy, every day dress It took me a minute while trying this piece on to really fall in love. Though, after walking around my house and adjusting, I quickly realized how easy and flattering this dress is!! I paired it with a leather belt, sandals, hat, and was instantly head over heels! Now, I can hardly go anywhere without receiving compliments on this dress! Absolutely a must have! 4.5.2013

FORT WALTON BEACH — Ann James knew her team would win the bocce ball tournament, but it didn't stop her from cheering on the competition.
"Come on Darryl," she cheered as an opposing player prepared to make his toss. "You got it buddy. It's up to you."
As the game went on, her teammates' good luck efforts came out. Mike Ladner tossed his ball in the air and blew on it. Bobby Bruno took a minute to look to the heavens and ask for a little divine aid.
"God still helped me," he said even as his ball rolled off course.
Whether through skill or luck, their team won 10-0. Still, the good sportsmanship didn't end.
"That was good, man!" James declared as the teams shook hands and high-fived.
About 125 competitors from the Emerald Coast participated in the Special Olympics Okaloosa County on Saturday at Choctawhatchee High School. They strived to win or, as part of the Special Olympics athlete oath states, "let me be brave in the attempt."
During the opening ceremony, the athletes paraded past cheering spectators in the bleachers, flashing thumbs-up signs, waving and cheering themselves on.
Events ranged from races to the softball toss to the long jump. Most of the competitors had been preparing for some time.
Brian Mann had been training with his friends for a few months for the 100 and 200 meter dashes, said his mom, Pat. It's a big event for him.
"There's so many things they're shunned from," she said. "This is something they can all participate in."
As she watched her son Dalton compete in the softball throw, Lisa Malone said she was more excited than he was.
"It makes me happy to see him be a kid," she said.
"Wild Man Dalton," as his friends call him, can hang out at the event with his friends and be accepted by all those around him.
"We're making memories," Lisa said. "It's just a great day."

Aiwaz Press, 21576149, 2010
The inaugural volume of Trigger 93 focuses on the Word. Editor Ayesha Adamo sets the tone with a meditation on words and their simplification, beginning with the Chinese character for love, which, when simplified, removes the heart. Her concluding essay discusses the mysteries of writing itself, its permanence and the invisible audience.
Contributors tackle this theme of Words in a variety of surprising ways.

Nice first round, you have to give that to Thomson.
Nice first round, you have to give that to Thomson.
Thomson has been working that wresting game! Good fight so far.
Man, I'm really impressed by Thomsons wresting right now.
Benson is doing pretty good in the stand up game.
I think it might be 1 round a piece, hard to judge that second one.
Round 1-Thomson
Round 2-Bendo
Tough rounds to call. 1 probably went to Thomson, but 2 was a toss up.
No leg kicks by Henderson eh? Maybe that image of Silva's leg snapping makes him hesitant to throw them.
And round 3 to Bendo likely.
I think I counted 6-7 times of Rogan saying Thomson's hand is broken in that round, like nobody heard the first time. Let's see how many this round.
Last edited by Sick_Lunatic; 01-25-2014 at 09:59 PM.
Round 4 broken hand references:
Goldberg - 5. Rogan - 6. (3 by each were in the first minute of the round)
Tough round to call as well. Bendo controlled it, then Thomson may have stole it in the end.
Going into the 5th it could be 2-2, or 3-1 for either guy.
I have it two a piece right now, but I have no idea how the judges will score it.
Thomson ......

Jacques Swanepoel was named the first-ever head coach of squash for the Lions in September 2009, before the men and women's squash programs began varsity competition in Fall 2010.
Swanepoel led the men's squash team to 8-7 winning season in 2013-14. For the second time in three seasons, the men's team capped the season in the nation's top 10, following a runner-up finish in the Hoehn Cup (B Division) of the CSA National Championships. The Lions also made program history with its first ever win over Ivy League foe Dartmouth, 8-1, during the regular season.
The women's team also posted an 8-7 record for its second winning season in program history. The women were also runner-up finishers in the Kurtz Cup (B Division) of the CSA National Championships to cap the year with a No. 10 national ranking. The squad earned a program best No. 9 national ranking during the regular season after its first Ivy League win in program history over then No. 9 Brown
The 2012-13 season saw the men's squad post an 8-10 overall record, with conference wins over Brown and Penn. The Penn match turned out to be an epic three hour back-and-forth tilt that saw the resilient Lions come away with a 5-4 decision.
For the second straight year, Ramit Tandon was selected to the All-Ivy League first team. Tandon finished the season ranked fifth in the nation, posting a team-best 17-4 record. The 2012-13 season also had the first graduates of the squash program see their careers come to a conclusion. For the men, captains Tony Zou and Graham Miao graduated, while Katie Quan graduated a year early on the women's side. Zou became the first Columbia squash player to be invited to compete in three CSA Individual Championships, finishing as the consolation bracket runner-up this year.
Swanepoel also served as the women's head coach, leading Columbia to a 5-11 overall mark. At the CSA Team Nationals, Columbia notched wins over George Washington and Middlebury to finish the season ranked 11th in the nation, two spots better than the previous season.
In only their second year as a varsity program, the Columbia men's squash team put together a strong season and continued to earn national respect with a top 10 national finish. Led by Swanepoel, the Lions are making monumental strides. From getting the program's first Ivy League win over Brown, to a runner-up finish in the Hoehn Cup of the 2012 CSA National Championships, Columbia continues to lay a solid foundation for a strong squash program.
For the second consecutive season, the Men's College Squash Association has awarded Columbia the Barnaby Award for their performance in the 2011-12 season. The Barnaby Award is given annually to the men's team showing the most improvement from the previous season in the sport.
First-year standout Ramit Tandon was selected as Ivy League Co-Rookie of The Year and gained a spot on the All-Ivy League first team, the first postseason honor in program history. Tandon posted a 15-1 record this season earning a No. 2 national ranking following a runner-up finish in the 2012 CSA National Championships. The All-America's only loss of the season came in the exciting championship match with co-Rookie of the Year Ali Farag.
In Swanepoel's first year at the helm of the men's varsity team, Columbia quickly began to make a name for itself. The team finished 13-6 overall in 2010-11 and capped the season by winning the consolation bracket of the Summers Cup (C Division) to finish the year ranked No. 21 overall. The Lions were presented with the Barnaby Award at the National Championship as the most improved team in college squash. Individually, two Columbia players qualified for the Men's Individual National Championship.
A former member of the South African National Squash Team, Swanepoel was a two-time All-American at Trinity, and helped lead the Bantams to four consecutive national championships. Swanepoel served as a captain at Trinity as a senior, and was named the team's Most Improved Player in back-to-back seasons (2005-06). Prior to his time at Trinity, Swanepoel was the No. 2 ranked junior player in South Africa, and participated on the country's U-19 national team.
Swanepoel has worked as a coach at the high school and club levels, and is very involved in the national and international squash community.
Prior to arriving in Morningside Heights, he served as the primary coach for all club camps and clinics at the Fairmount Athletic Club in King of Prussia, Pa. There, he was the personal coach for numerous nationally-ranked players, and helped develop and organize academic programs.
Swanepoel earned a bachelor's degree from Trinity College in environmental science in 2007.

 About Us

R. S. McEntire began an illustrious career as a furniture maker in Muscatine, Iowa. Sometime around 1869 he moved his business to Burlington, Iowa to expand the distribution network. As time progressed, he began specializing in the manufacture of bedding and bedding products. Then in 1887, he brought the Duplex Spring Bed Company to the Capital of Kansas Topeka, believing he could not successfully compete with a host of similar firms in southeast Iowa offering lower prices but lesser quality. After a short period in Topeka, according to published company histories, his partner left with the firm's cash, leaving McEntire with the building, inventory, accounts, and debts. The entire McEntire family responded by pitching in, using space in their building for commercial storage and economizing until the business was again on solid footing. The firm sold their mattresses through a network of independent salesmen throughout the Central Plains. After Richard's two sons assumed control in 1897, the company was renamed McEntire Brothers.

The firm eventually specialized in coil springs and mattresses, although they also manufactured other items such as porch swings and furniture at various times, their main focus remained in the mattress sector. They survived two devastating fires and the 1966 Tornado. By the mid-20th century, they operated warehouses in Kansas City; Oklahoma City; and Fort Worth, Texas. The company was later called McEntire Mattress and continues in business to this day as "Sleep Easy" making mattress with the most scientifically advanced material in the market today, visco elastic memory foam. Using only top quality components made and manufactured in the USA, Sleep Easy maintains a focus on producing a quality product at an exceptional value, while continually reinvesting in state of the art equipment. Thus allowing Sleep Easy to remain strong and dedicated to its customers and their needs. Today, the company is continuing the long tradition of providing quality mattresses that help people fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed so they can take on the day.

 is committed to providing each customer with the highest standard of customer service. Sleep Easy, with corporate offices around the country, is one of the nation's premier retailers, with a customer satisfaction rate that outperforms even the largest companies.

Cake Systems
The core of Cake Systems software is built on the SIMPLE algorithm developed by nationally recognized energy efficiency expert, Michael Blasnik. Cake Systems was designed to provide an auditing tool to an industry that lacked a way to provide the sweet spot of fast, accurate and flexible. With Cake Systems, auditors have the ability to generate an easy-to-understand Energy Analysis Report quickly. Cake Systems is designed to reduce typical barriers to action and to motivate a homeowner to engage a contractor to start a project.
Cake Systems' software platform provides a suite of customizable modules, including:
- Cake System's Proposal Generator helps Home Performance Contractors sell more jobs by allowing them to quickly generate multiple proposal scenarios with different energy savings calculations for homeowners to choose from, right at the 'kitchen table.'
- Cake Systems' Home Portal provides homeowners with an easy-to-understand pathway to completing an energy efficiency retrofit project. The user-friendly interface provides homeowners with clarity around a sometimes confusing process, similar to TurboTax®. The Home Portal is designed to be customized and configured to meet the needs of the efficiency program.
- Cake Systems has a mobile app that can be downloaded on tablet computers or mobile phones. Since Cake Systems' Core Auditing Module is a web-based software, requiring users to have internet access, this mobile app allows for offline data collection.
- Cake Systems' API allows for real-time communication between Cake Systems and other software tools. This allows Cake Systems to be fully integrated into a program's suite of software products. This API eliminates double-data entry and allows developers to build and create new applications built off Cake Systems API.
Energy Efficiency, Auditing, Labeling Home Performance, Contractor, Program Manager, Utility, Community Energy Performance Score, EPS, Cake Systems Tablet Application, App, API, Home Energy Score, HES
Cake Systems' underlying energy modeling engine, SIMPLE, has been widely evaluated and lauded by 3rd party sources for its accuracy, consistency and time-efficiency.Accuracy:
- A 2009 Energy Trust of Oregon study showed the predictive power of the SIMPLE tool compared to normalized utility bill data in a 300 home pilot study. The chart attached, taken from the study, shows the SIMPLE Cake Systems software in pink and the utility bill data in light blue. It is evident that the SIMPLE energy model more closely models energy consumption in existing homes than either of the other tools that were tested.
- January, 2012 Modeling Comparison Report developed for the Energy Trust of Oregon by Stellar Processes, benchmarked five well-known energy modeling tools compared to the NW deemed-savings standard, SEEM. "This report examines the efficacy and accuracy of several modeling tools relative to a widely accepted benchmarking tool. The goals of this project are to determine if the different tools result in consistent and similar scores with regional results" (January, 2012 ETO Modeling Comparison Report). The chart attached shows that EAI's Cake Systems tool was named #1 out of the 5 tools analyzed for overall consistency and accuracy.
Cake Systems SIMPLE modeling engine is not only highly accurate, but has an easy-to-use interface and is time efficient for users in the field. The chart attached is taken from the 2009 Energy Trust of Oregon study, mentioned above, in which energy auditors modeled 300 homes using multiple software types. This study shows that the Cake Systems SIMPLE energy modeling software takes much less time for auditors to collect and input data than other audit software that was tested.
Expertise Required
Auditors that use Cake Systems must be Building Performance Institute (BPI) certified or a HERS rater with a combustion safety training certificate, or equivalent. In addition to those certifications, it is required to complete a self-paced, online Cake Systems software training class.
16 Energy Efficiency Programs (WA, MA, AL, VA & ND) with a total of 272 auditors as of July 31, 2012, United States only.
Utility and community energy efficiency program managers, prime management contractors, home performance contractors, home energy auditors and software developers.
The software has approximately 35 to 60 inputs for the homes' existing conditions, depending on number of HVAC systems and whether a detached or attached unit.
Home characteristic inputs are simplified – fewer options on drop-downs, allow for inputting a quick audit. Inputs include year built, sq. footage, volume, air leakage rate, visual duct inspection, building location (zip code and address), HVAC type, water heating type, appliance types, window types, approximate shading, lighting type, approximate insulation levels. Recommended upgrade selections are possible through a series of radio buttons and check boxes, for quick selection. Detailed note input and photo uploading are possible as well.
Standard Output:
The Homeowner Energy Analysis Report (HEAR) is an easy-to-understand "roadmap for energy savings." The HEAR is consistently and easily generated by auditors, with the ability to be wholly customized, redesigned or rebranded to meet the needs of an energy efficiency program. The HEAR is available as short and long versions, with the ability to add photos and thermal images directly in the report. The easy-to-understand characteristics of the HEAR lead to higher retrofit rates and consumer satisfaction.
Standard input includes information on the current energy consumption and measure-by-measure savings calculations and provides the ability to add photos & custom text directly to the HEAR.Optional Outputs:
- The Energy Performance Score (EPS): is a home energy rating system similar to the miles-per-gallon (MPG) rating for automobiles. The EPS is a "white-label" energy rating, able to be wholly customized, redesigned or renamed to meet the needs of the region, state, municipality or utility
- The Home Energy Score (HES): is a national rating system developed by the U.S. Department of Energy. A 1-10 rating of a home's efficiency, the HES allows homeowners to compare the relative energy performance of their homes to other homes in the area on an easy-to-understand scale.
The EPS Energy Label provides an easy way to estimate actual home energy consumption, related carbon emissions, and utility costs. The EPS Energy Label is a market-driving mechanism which leaves homeowners with an official measurement of their homes' energy efficiency that can be valued by actors in the market, such as Realtors®.
- Breakdown of homes annual energy use, associated fuel cost, carbon emissions, and total percentage energy saved from proposed upgrades
- Proposed Scope of Work – Multiphase report or Single-phase report – Lists upgrades or upgrade packages with associated cost estimates, fuel savings, carbon emissions reduced
- General Notes to homeowner
Computer Platform
Web-based operating system with agnostic platform and API available. Offline mobile app (for iPad or Android-powered tablets) available in early September, 2012.
Programming Language
Cake Systems software platform was created to fill the need for a fast, accurate and flexible auditing software for the residential energy efficiency marketplace. It is designed to provide home energy auditors and home performance contractors an easy-to-use tool that provides a highly accurate measurement of a home's current energy usage and modeled upgrade savings in about 1 hour.
Not designed to be used in commercial properties or on multi-family complexes of more than 4 units.

Is Lamar's problems mean we are going ahead with Jamison?
I still can't get over the fact that we couldn't even get one banger. This sucks.
Well thank god we waited all summer to sign Antawn Jamison
Well.. I hope Brandon Davies surprises us
Clippers should sign Darko haha
so who do you guys think is going to get the final spot?
a free agent or a camp pick up?
So we need one more spot filled?

I wouldn't call it worthless. It's not for everyone. I have one and have found limited use. For navigation it's actually easier and faster if a controller is nearby. If not, it is convenient to be able to then speak your way through. Of course talking out loud for general navigation probably isn't going to be, and hasn't become a big thing to do. If you "have" to connect it, hopefully it has been streamlined. With no motor, it should be much smaller. Also requiring less physical space will help increase its use.
As for the Xbox 3 reportedly being underpowered compared to the PS4. That is the interpretation of PS fans. Most centered around GDDR5 vs. DDR3. While all things being equal GDDR5 is faster, and more expensive, there are many things that can be done to erase or eliminate the modest real world performance gain. And talking 8GB, it could result in a significant console price difference. Cost means a LOT these days.
Going solely by the leaked specs, the compute power of the Xbox 3 is 1.23 TFlops, the PS4's is 1.85 TFlops. It's not really interpretation, it's based on the numbers we have so far. That's pretty much the difference between a model range in PC GPU's. AMD 7770 vs. AMD 7850. or Nvidia GTX 650 vs. GTX 660.

Here's how RW members rated this race (94 votes).
In short: If you want a flat 10k, then this is it.In full: Start was a little tricky and bunched - I think more effort should be made to stagger the start. This must be one of the flattest races out there - total ascent cannot have been more than 10m, so a good test of true pace. Race numbers with your name on was a nice touch and the marshalls were highly encouraging. Will certainly be returning next year.Date of review: November 9, 2009
In short: Fun runIn full: Late for registration and start, so just had a good relaxing, run with my dog, (who always enjoys the attention). Great atmosphere and thought the walkers/public were very understanding when getting out of the way! Date of review: October 22, 2009
In short: Nice scenery, nice weather, shame about the puddles!In full: This was my first event for over a year, and I was very impressed. Putting names on race numbers was a nice touch. The course was a little congested in places, but looking at the route, I didn't expect anything else. A lovely autumnal event to blow the cobwebs away.Date of review: October 19, 2009
In short: Great scenery, shame about the early congestion...In full: Efficient staff at the start, very scenic course, beautiful day for running and clearly labelled distance markers unlike my previous event. As mentioned elsewhere the start needs to be looked at, as it wasn't really until 10 mins or so into the race that I finally felt able to go my own pace. Passing places were at a premium in the opening stretch and with some runners sticking together in groups it was really hard to find your own space. As it was I missed my PB by 15 seconds when I probably lost about 2 minutes due to the bunching. Maybe next time we could head south down the river first, so that the field was more strung out before the need to turn? Still, I enjoyed the run and will be back next time. Date of review: October 19, 2009
Date of review: October 19, 2009
In short: A very pleasant way to spend a Saturday morningIn full: Overall well organised. A larger field than I think was expected. The start was a little crowded and the section where runners were going opposite each other after the first turn was a bit of a squeeze at times. After this point though the course was excellent. Very flat, superb scenery and a great way to start the weekend. Nice early start as well. Very enjoyable. Thank you.Date of review: October 18, 2009
In short: Nice medals !!Date of review: October 17, 2009

In short: Great location, well organised but need to do something about the start iIn full: 4 ran in the group I was with times ranging from 41 to 59 mins and the concencus was that this was a race we would do again. There are some steps that could be taken to improve for next time. For the size of the field, the start just didn't work as was narrow with many slower runners in front. The turn at 1.5km made meant the path was halved - that together with the wet and uneven footing made a PB difficult. Hopefully organisers can work on this for next time as this could be 'must do' race if they didDate of review: October 17, 2009
