Boxing is back at Casino Miami Jai-Alai in 2014, and it all kicks off Saturday January 18th with a stellar six-bout card. The main event will feature local favorite, and light heavyweight contender Azea "The Haitian Hitman" Augustama in an eight round fight against hard-hitting Jermain Mackey of the Bahamas. The co-feature will showcase 20-year old Cuban sensation Hairon "El Maja" Socarras as he takes on Jamal Parram in a six round junior featherweight battle.
Augustama (15-1, 9 KOs) is looking to continue his six-fight win streak, and position himself among the best at light heavyweight. For Augustama, now ranked number seven in the USBA, it won't be an easy task as he squares off against Mackey (18-6, 14 KOs) a tough, upset minded fighter who's fought two world champions in Jean Pascal and Adonis Stevenson. This will be Augustama's fourth straight appearance at Casino Miami Jai-Alai.
The co-main event features the very busy Socarras (9-0-1, 6 KOs) in a scheduled six-round contest. Socarras squares off against Jamal "The Mailman" Parram (7-9-1, 5 KOs). This will be Socarras' fifth fight in the last 13 months.
Egyptian light heavyweight Ahmed Elbiali (2-0, 2 KOs), who now resides in Miami, returns in a scheduled four-round tussle following his impressive TKO victory here last August.
Another Cuban, Vilier Quiñonez (6-0, 4 KOs) looks to remain unbeatean as he faces Jerrod Caldwell in a four round super middleweight bout.
Other fights include heavyweights Hector Hodge vs. Chaen Chess, 4 rounds, Honduran-American Harold Carderon vs. Trey Anderson, 4 rounds junior welterweight, and heavyweight Thanasis "The Golden Greek" Michaloudis in a 6 round attraction.
Tiburon Promotions chief Al Bonanni, who recently suffered a mild stroke, wants to thank all the well-wishers, and let everyone know that he's doing ok. "I'm happy that so many people called me to see how I was doing," Bonanni said. "I also want to thank everyone who's helped me with this show while I was recovering. This show will go on, and I'm feeling better and better every day. I have to watch what I eat now, but that just means you will see a slimmer Bonanni on the 18th."
Tickets are already on sale for the show, with prices ranging from $75 for VIP to $30 for reserved ringside and $15 for general admission available at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling the box office at (305) 633-6400.
The press conference will be announced in the next few days.

Chat with Tim Wadham
Transcript of Live Chat
June 15, 2004
Tim Wadham, Youth Services Coordinator for the Maricopa Country Library District and member of the Pura Belpré Award Committee.
NYPL Hi Tim, Catherine here... how are you?
twadham Hi, Catherine. I'm fine.
NYPL Welcome to our online conversation with Tim Wadham, Youth Services Coordinator for the Maricopa Country Library District and member of the Pura Belpré Award Committee.
NYPL Today we'll be talking about the best new children's books that celebrate Latino life and culture. Be ready to learn about the latest award winners, and some hidden gems!
NYPL Tim, can you tell us a little bit about the Pura Belpre award?
twadham First of all, it's named after a latina librarian who worked at New York Public Library, Pura Belpre. She was from Puerto Rico, and wrote several wonderful books retelling Puerto Rican tales. The award itself is presented every two years to the Latino or Latina writer whose wore celebrates and affrims the Latino cultural experience in the US. Awards are given to both authors and illustrators. It's a fairly new award, having been given out only since 1996. It is cosponsored by the Association for LIbrary Service to Children and Reforma, which is an affiliate of the American Library Association, supporting library services to Spanish speakers.
Pura Belpre was the perfect person to honor with this award. If you haven't seen her books, particluarly her retelling of the folktale "Perez and Martina", you should look it up.
Ismael Which Hispanic groups do you find the greatest number of books about, are there some aspects of the Hispanic experience that are not represented?
twadham Interesting question. I think that that the most represented groups, though I hate to generalize, are the Latinos who are in a lower socio-economic strata, such as migrant farmworkers. In fact, a book I just reviewed for the Horn Book Magazine, "Arroro Mi Nino" by Lulu Delacre, features a migrant mom on the cover. Horn Book was concerned that this would signal that all Latinos were migrant farmworkers, which is far from the case.
Ismael Which Hispanic groups do you find the greatest number of books about, are there some aspects of the Hispanic experience that are not represented?
twadham The aspects of the Hispanic experience not as well represented are conversely, the folks at the higher end of the economic spectrum.
Ismael As a librarian do you find bilingual books very popular?
twadham Bilingual books are tremendously popular. Essentially, they provide two function. They not only allow a Spanish-speaking child to read a story in Spanish, but they also provide a way for children to learn Spanish. I see parents who want their children to learn Spanish asking for bilingual books all the time.
NYPL Where do you find out about new books?
twadham I find out about them from a lot of places. Like everyone, I read Criticas magazine. I also review for Criticas, which is nice, but it is the best source of English language information about books in Spanish. It has really been a boon for librarians.
My favorite Spanish language source is CLIJ--it is a journal from Spain and the letters stand for Cuadernos de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil. CLIJ reviews all the new books, and has a wonderful annual issue that lists all the awards given to Spanish language children's books.
Horace Where can I find a list of books that are bilingual or Spanish only that are in the "best of" category?
twadham I believe that Criticas magazine has or will be producing "best of" lists. I've produced a list of titles in that category that I presented at the Public Library Association conference, and that I hope to expand into a book soon. I think that whatever titles you see reviewed in Criticas, or School Library Journal, or other journals that do occasional reviews of Spanish language titles are recommended titles. I know for a fact that Criticas doesn't really want to review marginal titles. They don't have the space.
NYPL How important is it for children to see themselves reflected in books?
twadham I think this is extraordinarily important. Children do need to see themselves reflected in the literature they read. That's why I think that it is so exciting that so many Latino and Latina writers have published books that really reflect the Latino experience first hand.
awilson What can libraries do to promote literacy in Latino communities?
twadham Read Read Read!!!!!! Let me follow up on that.
I think the best thing that Librarians and others can do to promote literacy is to be enthusiastic about books, and to share them in settings where parents and children are present. Some of the most rewarding experiences I've had are the times when I've gone into situations with parents and children and shared stories. For the parents, you can model reading out loud. The children get the benefit of hearing the language and the story.
EmilyJ Is there a concern in libraries about the dialectical variants in Spanish-language titles for children? (i.e., Spanish as spoken in Spain vs Spanish as spoken in Mexico)?
twadham Yes there is a concern. American publishers who publish Spanish or bilingual editions are trying to alleviate that by having books translated into a neutural Spanish that can be understood by everyone. Titles coming from Spanish-speaking countries can have some local dialect that may be hard to understand. I just recently reviewed a title for Criticas from Spain that would be very difficult for children here to understand.
Brigida Can librarians who are not on the Pura Belpre committee submit books to be considered for the award?
twadham Yes, submit suggestions to the committee chair, Babara Scotto. Her e-mail is: email@example.com
NYPL Do you think Latino culture is well represented in children's book publishing?
twadham It is much better represented now than it has ever been. There has truly been an explosion in Latino books in the last 10 years, and I've been working at this for almost 20 now. But it is really a recent phenomenon.
awilson Are the Belpre award winners generally published in Spanish as well as English?
twadham Some are bilingual. Others, like Pam Munoz Ryan's "Esperanza Rising" were published in English and given the award for the English version. A Spanish translation was later published, but after it received the Belpre, I believe.
Alexandra Do you know of similar awards that celebrate books about other ethnicities?
twadham Of course, there is the Corretta Scott King award that celebrates African American books and authors. I have heard talk of the establisment of an award for Asian children's literature, but I'm not sure where that initiative stands.
Greg_K What's the best way to attract children of Hispanic descent into the library? Do read-alouds with bilingual books work even when you don't speak Spanish?
twadham I think the best way to attract Hispanic kids into the library is through the parents. You have to do outreach to the parents wherever they are. You let them know that the library is there, and what it can do for their child's education. I've found that most Hispanic parents are very concerned with their childs education. We had a library here in Arizona where the parents didn't go in--they stayed outside while their children went in. I went to a head start meeting and read some stories and talked about the library. After this, some of the parents went in the library for the first time. The librarian told me that I had finally given them permission to become library users.
Greg_K What's the best way to attract children of Hispanic descent into the library? Do read-alouds with bilingual books work even when you don't speak Spanish?
twadham As far as read alouds, yes bilingual books can absolutely work even when you don't speak Spanish. I've seen people find a Spanish speaker to read the Spanish text out loud, so that one reads the English, and the other repeats it in Spanish. Also, you can read Spanish without actually speaking it with a little bit of training. Spanish, unlike English, reads exactly how it looks, so its fairly easy to pronounce.
awilson If I could read only one Belpre award winner, which would you recommend?
twadham I'd probably have to recommend "Esperanza Rising". It is a tremendously moving book, and a real breakthrough title.
M_Salas Esperanza Rising got the award right before we printed the Spanish version.
twadham Glad to know I was right on that one!
Alexandra What advice can you give to a Hispanic child or teenager interested in writing a children's book?
twadham They should write about what they know. We had a kid at one of our libraries write a wonderful story about immigrating to the United States, and how they traded cows for a car. I hope to see that published in some way some day.
Ismael As a member of the committee about how many titles have you examined for outstanding illustrations? Can you provide some titles?
twadham We are just starting our work, as we will present the award given in 2006. One of the books I've looked at is "The Dream on Blanca's Wall" by Jane Medina, which is a lovely book of poetry with expressive black and white illustrations. The other book I mentioned previously, "Arroro Mi Nino" is lovely as well.
M_Salas Can I mention that Pam Muñoz Ryan, author of Esperanza Rising, is publishing a new wonderful title: Becoming Naomi León. For fans of Esperanza: you are going to LOVE this one. Coming in English first, fall 2004, Spanish: fall 2005
twadham I have this book right next to me on my desk, and I have to concur. I'm very excited about it.
Rafael Have any of the books become films?
twadham I'm not aware that films have been made from any of the Belpre winners. That's the next barrier we have to break.
EmilyJ Can you recommend some great titles that perhaps haven't won any awards yet, and thus are less well known than they should be?
twadham Absolutely, I like Nancy Maria Grande Tabor's "Celebrations" which will be a very useful book about holidays. The illustrations are weak, but this is a much needed book.
Rafael How many books have you read so far for the author award?
twadham I think three eligible titles so far.
NYPL Is there a large audience for books about Latino culture in the United States? How do we let publishers know what we want...?
twadham The audience for Latino books is large and growing rapidly. Publishers always want to hear from librarians and other what sorts of books we are looking for. E-mail the editors at Lectorum (Scholastic), and all the other major publishers who do Spanish-language books and let them know what you want.
M_Salas How can we submit original Spanish titles to the Pura Belpre Award. I would love to submit: Estrellas en el cielo; los poemas de la abuela by Alejandra Longo.
twadham Go to the ALA Website, http://www.ala.org and click on "Our Organization". Navigate to ALSC, and from there to the site of the Pura Belpre Award. There is a list of the committee members and their addresses. What most publishers do is to send the titles to each of the committee members.
NYPL Are there any books you haven't mentioned that you'd like to tell us about?
twadham Wow, there are so many books, and we've hardly got to any of them. Laura Gallego Garcia's fantasies for children were featured in a recent issue of Criticas, and I'm excited about her work. Julia Alvarez, this year's Belpre winner, has a new title coming out, "Finding Miracles." It will be released in October. I like "Pio Peep: Traditional Spanish Nursery Rhymes" by Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy, with illustrations by Vivi Escriva
Ismael Has this award been a stepping stone to celebrity status for an award winner?
twadham I'm not sure that it has been--the award is still, sadly, not that widely know outside of the library community. That needs to change.
NYPL We'll be posting a short bibliography of Tim's recommendations on the NYPL website in a few days, along with the transcript.
twadham Thanks for all your questions!
NYPL Tim, we're almost out of time. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
twadham If anyone would like to contact me for further discussion offline, I can be reached at email@example.com
NYPL Thanks for joining us, everyone. This program will be repeated in Spanish this Thursday at 4 pm. Visit us on the web at http://www.nypl.org/chat/ for more online programming from The New York Public Library.

I am in my last 2 semesters of undergrad, and also in the midst of preparing graduate school apps. Yet, I find myself conflicted about whether or not continuing my education is what I reallly want right now. I love being a wife and mom, I already want to try for #2. However, I know that babies are expensive, so I'm hesitant still. I have asked numerous people, including my husband, for their opinions. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to do what makes me happy, or wait to see what grad school is like because maybe I can do both. None of these answers have put my mind at ease. Are there any moms here who have expanded their family while in graduate/professional school? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Grad School And/Or Baby#2...
Comments (5)
In my experience, I didn't feel like grad school was anymore difficult than undergrad. Granted, I didn't have my daughter until after I graduated from both, but I would think that if you have been able to make it work well so far, you should have no problem with grad school. As far as finances go, one of the best pieces of advice I received from my advisor in undergrad was that there is TONS of money out there for graduate students and that you should never pay to go to grad school. If they want you, they will pay for you to attend. I would look into TAs, GAs, research assistant positions, etc. Good luck!
I just started grad school this past august and my daughter is now almost 9 months. I believe with a great support system you can do it, if it's what you want to do. I have felt bad at times taking my daughter straight from one daycare to the next because I have classes in the evenings and my husband coaches high school football. But my mom reminded me that she is too young to build memories of life yet. Also I keep telling myself that this will better my whole family in the long run! Good Luck :)

Anthony Powell's universally acclaimed epic A Dance to the Music of Time offers a matchless panorama of twentieth-century London . Now, for the first time in decades, readers in the United States can read the books of Dance as they were originally published—as twelve individual novels—but with a twenty-first-century twist: they're available only as e-books.
The third volume, The Acceptance World (1955), opens with Nick Jenkins, in his late twenties, beginning to make his way in the world of letters: working for a publisher, writing on his own, and establishing connections across the literary landscape. At the same time, he is making his way in love, as a surprise meeting with an old friend's sister blossoms into an affair. Meanwhile, friends are diving into marriage and careers, and the patterns of life's dance are starting to take shape—even as the future steps remain shadowy.
"Anthony Powell is the best living English novelist by far. His admirers are addicts, let us face it, held in thrall by a magician."--Chicago Tribune
"A book which creates a world and explores it in depth, which ponders changing relationships and values, which creates brilliantly living and diverse characters and then watches them grow and change in their milieu. . . . Powell's world is as large and as complex as Proust's."--Elizabeth Janeway, New York Times
"One of the most important works of fiction since the Second World War. . . . The novel looked, as it began, something like a comedy of manners; then, for a while, like a tragedy of manners; now like a vastly entertaining, deeply melancholy, yet somehow courageous statement about human experience."--Naomi Bliven, New Yorker
"The most brilliant and penetrating novelist we have."--Kingsley Amis

I feel bad for Pac.
Look he had another close fight with his arch nemesis. People are going ridiculously crazy about this. Pac should of lost, big deal, he should have lost the 2nd fight as well. But he came back after the 2nd fight, moved up 2 weight classes and KO'd Cotto. So all the people who think he's gone old overnight; no he has not.
He just had another close fight with a guy he has struggled to beat twice before. In my opinion this performance does not have a bearing on any of his future fights, other than a fourth with Marquez.

I dont feel Sorry for Manny, that comes with the being on the highest level of the sport, especially when your team is talking mad **** and saying Not even God can help his opponent.
When you talk like that expectations are set but not by the ears they fall on but by the words you speak. and when you go out there and get out boxed one sidedly and end up winning knowing you didnt win and yet you dont even give it up for your opponent and tell the truth...
To me you get no love..... He should have admitted he lost the fight he really did.

His expectations have been risen so high anything less than domination is a huge let down.
I also think that's why so many people thought Marquez won, because they incorrectly thought this was a mismatch and marquez obviously did better than they thought.
I had pac winning by a round, but it wasn't a clear victory obviously. So to many that's a massive let down when the reality is JMM is simply a fantastic fighter who matches up perfectly with Pac. No shame in that. Marquez is to Pacquiao as Frazier is to Ali.

The only thing you should feel bad about Manny is that he fears being alone so badly to the point he spends all his money on his 60+ entourage to keep him company. Now that right there is sad because once his career is over and he runs out of cash you can bet his entourage won't be there for him.

Well to be honest, I know a lot of unbiased people who actually had Pac winning 7-5. I had it at that score as well. I think that it was a much closer fight than people were expecting and for that reason (and the fact that Pacquiao couldn't KO Marquez, a 9-1 underdog) everyone started to s-hit on him.
Pac didn't judge the fight. He may maintain that he won a really close fight but he was humble enough to say that he was unhappy with his performance, congratulated Marquez for being a formidable opponent still and immediately called for a rematch. Saying that, a lot of people seem to forget that a lot of people had Pac winning and I'm not just talking about the *******s.

I hope pac just sees this all as a positive rather than a negative. if pac gets knocked down from being p4p#1 from all respectable sports/boxing analysts lists then so be it. I hope not being p4p#1 and a huge favourite makes pac that much more motivated to end his career on a high note. Also as far as I'm concerned no one can take away what pac has achieved in this sport thus far. it would be a damn shame to just erase pac from the history books and discredit all he has accomplished because of this one misstep.

Definition of otolith in English:
Each of three small oval calcareous bodies in the inner ear of vertebrates, involved in sensing gravity and movement.
Example sentences
- The macular neuromast organs bear otoliths, as described above.
- Like the inner ear in humans, the otolith plays a role in hearing and balance.
- All of the identifiable teeth and otoliths from the samples were identified and depth ranges were assigned to each taxon based on the known depths of living counterparts.
- Example sentences
- Equally, head movements made in space, where gravitational acceleration is almost eliminated, will elicit sensations of turning from the canals, which are not matched by the normal otolithic signals.
- The apical processes of receptor cells in the macula project into a gelatinous mass, the otolithic membrane.

By the time this article is published there will have been another meeting as we met on Monday April 25th. It is my intent to keep you informed so this week I want to catch you up. The April 19th meeting was conducted at Bedford Elementary School. Prior to the meeting the LPC toured Trimble County High School, after which the meeting began.
By ROBERT STEWART
Special to The Trimble Banner
After reviewing the genealogy records of my great-grandfather, (John Williamson Stewart, 1809-1885), I realize his life must have been quite sad.
Legislative sessions tend to be remembered for just a handful of new laws, and this year's, which ended April 15, is no different.
The budget was understandably the most prominent, with its chief highlight being the significant amount of new money the General Assembly put toward the unfunded liabilities of our public retirement systems.
For more than a decade now, the most pressing long-term problem in Kentucky has been the growing liabilities of our public retirement systems for teachers and state employees.
Both systems had far more than they needed a dozen or so years ago, but two recessions since then have swept most of those gains away.
While the systems are able to pay monthly benefits, they are still having to sell assets, making it tougher for their other investments to compensate. This trend could be catastrophic in a decade or two if we don't act now.
Burning precautions
Dear Editor and Trimble County residents:
As time to clean your yards up begins so does Fire Season in our area. Your local Fire Departments want to remind you of several KRS statutes that you must follow.
Forest Fire Hazard Seasons – KRS 149.400. During fire seasons, it is illegal to burn anything within 150 feet of any woodland or brush land between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
--Spring Forest Fire Hazard Season: Feb. 15 to April 30
--Fall Forest Fire Hazard Season: Oct. 1 to Dec. 15
As a small child I remember sitting on my grandma's lap and listening to her talk about traveling across the United States with my grandpa, on the back of a BMW motorcycle. She would describe the beautiful sights, flowers, mountains, cities and countryside. However, my grandmother always ended her stories with a statement I didn't quite understand. "After all of those beautiful places and nice people, the best part of a vacation was arriving back home where the grass was a little greener, people sweeter and the winding river bordering the county."

Hello inhabitants of the colorful world "Planet-Tolkien". I`m Hai_Men, a 25 years old student from Hamburg, Germany and - as you might see - a newbie in this forum. For many years my fascination for "Lord of the Rings" wasn`t more than a childhood memory - this fascination has recently been revived by the movies of Peter Jackson. But at the same time I reaIized that I m not an innocent child anymore !! During my studies I have had to do some researches about the ( ridicilous ) political writings of Richard Wagner. So I started to ask myself if there are any traces of the POLITICAL Wagner in the work of Tolkien. The ARTISTICAL simularities between "Lord of the Rings" and "The Ring of the Nibelungen" seem to be overwhelming - although we all know the offical statement of Tolkien about the camparsion of this two Ring-Tales :"Both rings were round, and there the resemblance eases" Really? Here is a list of simularities figured out by the Asia-Times:
Asia Times
( very interesting is the comparsion-tab at the end of the article )
Tolkien as well as Wagner were influenced by the Volsung Saga and the Nibelungenlied but a lot of things - for example the "The Power-Ring" - goes directly back to Wagner, it does not appear in both legends. So what do you think, does the "Lord of the Rings" contain some problematic political implications or is not allegorical at all and an innocent fairytale?
BTW: An interesting article in "The New Yorker"

Measuring SSL Indicators on Mobile Browsers: Extended Life, or End of the Road?

Mobile browsers are increasingly being relied upon to perform security sensitive operations. Like their desktop counterparts, these applications can enable SSL/TLS to provide strong security guarantees for communications over the web. However, the drastic reduction in screen size and the accompanying reorganization of screen real estate significantly changes the use and consistency of the security indicators and certificate information that alert users of site identity and the presence of strong cryptographic algorithms. In this paper, we perform the first measurement of the state of critical security indicators in mobile browsers. We evaluate ten mobile and two tablet browsers, representing over 90% of the market share, using the recommended guidelines for web user interface to convey security set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While desktop browsers follow the majority of guidelines, our analysis shows that mobile browsers fall significantly short. We also observe notable inconsistencies across mobile browsers when such mechanisms actually are implemented. Finally, we use this evidence to argue that the combination of reduced screen space and an independent selection of security indicators not only make it difficult for experts to determine the security standing of mobile browsers, but actually make mobile browsing more dangerous for average users as they provide a false sense of security.

2006 RM Auctions
The Buick Skylark was the work of Harley Earl and took its styling cues from Earl's XP-300 experimental LeSabre. The Buick Skyark continued Buick's desire to build mid- to upper level automobiles with great quality and design. Buick took almost all optional equipment and made them standard on the Skylark. The Skylark sat perched on the Roadmaster chassis and given a 322 cubic-inch Fireball V8 capable of producing 200 horsepower. The engine was mated to a three-speed Dynaflow automatic which sent the power to the rear wheels. Four-wheel hydraulic brakes provided the stopping power.
In 1954 Buick produced just 836 Skylark convertibles. The example shown finished in Arctic white with a Matador red leather interior was offered for sale at the RM Auction in Monterey, CA. It was expected to sell for $140,000-$160,000. The vehicle has Kelsey Hayes chrome wire spoke wheels and chrome accents throughout the exterior of the vehicle. At the conclusion of the auction the vehicle had been sold for $132,000.

This 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held at Meadow Brook where there was no reserve and it was estimated to sell between $60,000 - $80,000. The car is powered by a Fireball V8 engine that displaces 322 cubic-inches and is capable of producing 200 horsepower. There is a three-speed Dynaflow automatic transmission and four-wheel power-assisted drum brakes. The odometer reads just over 97,000 miles and the exterior is finished in Green Metallic Skylark. It has been treated to a cosmetic restoration and well-maintained since that time. This car features the wheel-well cut-outs which are trimmed in white and accent the original wire wheels.
The Skylark for 1954 was the top-of-the-line Buick and outfitted with leather seating, and a host of features offered as standard. Standard were power steering, brakes, windows, seats, and a radio antenna.
At auction, the estimated value proved to be too low for this vehicle, as bidding quickly escalated far above those estimates. A new owner was found after offering a high bid of just under $100,000. The car was sold for $99,000.

The Buick Skylark was built to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Buick marque. Its chassis was based on the Roadmaster and was offered only as a convertible.
For 1954, the appearance was changed using the Buick Century as a design inspiration. Subtle cues were added throughout, including a tapered rear deck with eye-catching chrome fins. The front fenders did not have the traditional Buick ventiports and its long bonnet concealed a high compression V8 engine that displaced 322 cubic-inches and produced 220 horsepower. 40-spoke Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels decorated the whitewall tires and accented the sweepspear side chrome trim. The interior was luxurious with a painted dash, an abundance of chrome, and full leather upholstery. It was well equipped with a host of power options including power brakes, power top, power windows, four-way power seats, a power antenna, Selectronic radio, and power steering. Shifting was easy with the Dynaflow automatic gearbox which was courtesy of the Roadmaster.
This example has been treated to a restoration. Its speedometer reads just over 78,000 miles. It is painted in white with red wheel wells and has a new white vinyl convertible top.
There were only 1690 Buick Skylarks built in 1953 and only 836 delivered a year later. At a price of nearly $5,000 when new, these were very exclusive vehicles.
This Skylark was brought to the 2008 Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $175,000 - $225,000. It was offered without reserve which worked well for the buyer who purchased this newly restored vehicle for the sum of $115,500 including buyer's premium.

In 1953, Buick introduced the special Model 76X Skylark Anniversary Convertible built on the Roadmaster chassis and given its own unique styling. There were no ventiport or 'portholes' used, and the 40 spoke Kelsey-Hayes wheels helped distinguish it from the rest of the Buick lineup. It had unique fenders with open wheelhouse with painted inner panels of either red or white. Production was low, with just 836 units produced.
This Skylark Convertible has been given a full body-off Concours restoration and is finished in factory correct Carlsbad Black with red leather interior. There is a Stayfast convertible top which is one of the few updates from new. The 322 cubic-inch overhead V8 engine is rated at 200 horsepower and there is a three-speed Dnaflow automatic transmission.
In 2009, this Lincoln Mark V Convertible was offered for sale at the Houston Classic Auction in Seabrook, Texas presented by Worldwide Auctioneers. The lot was estimated to sell for $160,000 - $180,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $130,000, plus buyer's premium.

This 1954 Buick Skylark was given a partial restoration in the mid-1990s, prior to the acquisition by the current owner. There is a black vinyl top that is in very good condition, the interior is original, and there are white vinyl seats with contrasting blue waffle-pattern leather. The odometer shows just over 60,000 miles and is believed to be original. Power is from the Roadmaster's 322 cubic-inch overhead valve V8 and Buick's smooth Dynaflow automatic transmission. The car is equipped with all the standard Skylark equipment, including power steering, brakes, windows and seat, Selectronic radio with electric antenna, and the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels.
In 2009, it was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $60,000-$80,000 and was offered without reserve. The lot was sold for the sum of $61,600 including buyer's premium.

The 1954 Buick Skylark was only available as a convertible and at $4,355 was the most expensive Buick that year.
A 1954 Century series body was used as the basis for the Skylark, but intense design changes made the two easily distinguishable. The Skylark featured a tapered deck with large chrome fins, specific front fenders without ventiports, and wide-open front wheelhouses that were echoed in the rear.
The wild, yet prestigious, convertible offered many standard features including leather upholstery, power steering, brakes, top, and windows, four-way power seats, heater-defroster and whitewall tires. Of the more than 53,000 Buicks produced during 1954, only 835 were Skylarks - and, according to the owner, this Skylark was once owned by the famed pianist and entertainer Liberache.

This Buick Skylark has had single family ownership from new. The original owner bequeathed the car to his grandson, who has retained the Skylark since 1965. It was restored during the mid-1970s, and has recently been professionally and comprehensively detailed. The work included re-chroming the front bumper, adding new carpet and selectively touching up the paint.
In 2010, the car was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $50,000-$75,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $71,500 including buyer's premium.

The last of the exclusive Skylarks and Buick's luxury and style leader for 1954, it is one of only 836 originally built. It has a 200 horsepower, 322 cubic-inch Fireball V8 engine, Twin-Turbine Dynaflow automatic transmission, independent front suspension with unequal length A-arms and coil springs, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic drum brakes sitting on a 122 inch wheelbase. It was, essentially, a factory-built custom car whose body was extensively reworked with a new wraparound windshield, dramatic front wheel-well cutouts finished in contrasting colors and rear quarter-panels cut down and re-formed with chrome taillight housing extensions. The new Skylark was, again, lavishly equipped boasting die-stamped leather upholstery and a short list of options, as most every available comfort and convenience feature was standard. With a base price of $4,483 the 1954 Skylark was still more expensive than both the base Cadillac drop-top and the Roadmaster convertible.

Buick produced 836 examples of the Convertible Skylark in 1954. It was produced in an era when America was more prosperous than at any other time in its history. American's celebrated the prosperity by flooding carmakers' showrooms and purchasing new cars and trucks that replaced the stodgy early post-war models carried over from the early 1940s. Detroit offered a wide array of glitzy showcars and concept vehicles that predicted future designs. General Motors took it to a new level with its famous Motorama, held each year at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, where a new Buick model, the Skylark, made its debut in 1953. The model was inspired by Buick's XP-300 show car. The Skylark was built as part of Buick's 50th anniversary celebration and helped establish the success of GM's contemporary 'flagship' marketing philosophy. It featured an innovative Dynaflow automatic transmission and power steering, which was the work of Chief Engineer Charlie Chayne and his staff, whose most importation creation was the new 322 cubic-inch overhead valve Fireball V8 engine that powered Buicks from 1953 to 1970 and was better known as the 'Nailhead.'
This example wears a recent frame-off restoration and is finished in Lido Green with a new White power soft top, a two-tone Green interior, wide whitewall tires and chromed Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. It is fully loaded with power steering, windows and antenna, AM radio and clock.
By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2014
In 1953 Buick introduced the Skylark - a vehicle built to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary and intended to be produced as a limited edition off of the Roadmaster line. Designed by the famous Harley Earl, the car had style and performance. The vehicle appeared to be lower than the standard convertibles, this was due to the body design. Ventiports, also known as port holes, were absent from the vehicle. Under the hood was a 322 cubic-inch 8 cylinder engine capable of producing nearly 190 horsepower. Only available as a convertible, this 4300 pound vehicle had a top speed of just over 100 miles-per-hour and a zero-to-sixty time of around 12 seconds. The interior was elegant, with leather seats and many standard features. During the introductory year, 1690 examples were created making it a highly collectable vehicle even by today's standards.
Even fewer examples were produced in 1954, with just 836 examples. The engine was still the 322 cubic-inch eight-cylinder Nailhead except it was now producing 200 horsepower. A chrome tailfin could now be found at the rear of the vehicle, a unique design that was new at the time. The DynaFlow automatic transmission, air conditioning, and Kelse-Hayes 40-spoke rims were just some of the standard equipment. Of the 836 examples produced in 1954, it is believed that less than 50 exist today.
The Skylark was not produced in 1955. This limited production vehicle would not be produced again until 1961. When it did return, Buick had used its name on their intermediate sport-coupe model. Under the hood was a 215 cubic-inch 8-cylinder with a four-barrel carburetor resulting in 185 horsepower. A year later the compression ratio was increased and as a result, so did the horsepower. The Skylark had also gone design changes for 1962, one of them being a Skylark badge now adorning the front fender.
By 1963, the 215 cubic-inch engine had finally been tuned enough to produce 200 horsepower. The Skylark emblems could now be found on the vehicles pillars. The performance increase continued in 1964 with the addition of a four-barrel carburetor attached to the 300 cubic-inch 8-cylinder engine. The result was 250 horsepower.
In 1965 Buick debuted the Gran Sport package which, in the years that followed, would become its own series. The 300 cubic-inch two-barrel option produced just over 200 horsepower while the four-barrel version produced 250 horsepower.
The muscle car era was beginning to heat up. The cars were becoming smaller and the interior were being gutted to take advantage of weight-saving techniques. The engine cubic-capacities continued to climb and the horsepower-to-weight ratio was astonishing. This was true for the Skylark which saw its engine-size and horsepower climb throughout the years.
By 1968 the engine had been enlarged to 350 cubic inch. Depending on the configuration, the horsepower inched towards the 300 mark. The torque was equally as impressive with 375 foot-pounds for the high-performance engine. 1969 was similar and saw little changes in both its mechanics and its aesthetics.
The muscle car era saw its peak in the 1969 and 1970 years. After that the automobile manufacturers were forced to decrease their engine sizes in order to comply with strict government regulations and safety concerns. Insurance premiums were on the rise and it became economically infeasible for many to continue to own these high-performance machines. All this lead to the general public craving alternatives such as luxury and fuel-efficient vehicles.
1970 was a great year for the Skylark which saw its horsepower come closer to 300 horsepower. With the four-barrel 350 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine, horsepower was rated at 285. In two barrel form the 350 cubic-inch engine produced an impressive 260 horsepower. For 1971 the horsepower began to decline as Buick began complying with the new government regulations. This trend continued in the years to come. By 1973, the production of the Buick Skylark had ceased. It began again in 1976 sitting atop a 111 wheelbase and offered in seven bodystyles including sport coupe, coupe, sedan, and hatchback. Standard was a 231 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine with a 3.8 bore and a 3.4 stroke and produced 11 horsepower. A 260 cubic-inch eight-cylinder was optional but still produced 110 horsepower. The 350 cubic-inch eight-cylinder brought the horsepower up to 165.
Production of the Skylark continued until 1997.
