I was contacted by Ilan, the founder and owner of Egard watches with some follow-up information on the Egard Shade and information on release date and pricing information. He told me that pricing for the Shade will be $ 620US on Leather, and $ 670US on bracelet and will be available only directly from Egard through their website, which hopefully will be launched soon! Some minor unexpected delays have pushed the release date back a little bit, but it should be out soon.

Current production on the Shade is only 100 pieces, but it is not a limited edition as I understand it. Ilan mentioned that there will be two other models released shortly, one of which will be a limited edition. We should be recieving review copies of this watch to write about so that will be very cool. I look forward to seeing what them!

Company Profile:

“Created as a tribute to designer Ilan Srulovicz’s father , Egard watches have been highly influenced by his father’s work in engineering. The attempt to dig under the surface and find the inner workings of the mechanics of things played a large role in the creation of the watches.

Egard watches are meant to be felt as much as they are meant to be worn. Designer Ilan Srulovicz began his process by visiting various parts of the world and drawing from the architecture and environment. Having a background in the field himself he found that watches today lacked a certain tangibility and identity. The intention was to create a line that allowed true self expression while maintain the highest level of quality.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, Egard watches are a statement of self expression while maintaining the components of a luxury watch. Egard watches do not know the term compromise.

“Though we ask not to be bound nor gripped by the hand of time we seek to measure it. Not so that we may control it or defeat it but rather so that we may expose ourselves to it’s infinite scale.” Ilan Srulovicz”

Average watch with mineral crystal found in malls. Not overly well known, which is not a bad thing, but at their price point you can find better IMO.

A Lange & Sohne Question&Answer:

Question by DEGREASER

The inquiry is complete, but Homeland Security does not plan to make the results public, according to the senior official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the matter.

“It’s a document that includes law enforcement sensitivities, so it will not be made public,” the official said. He declined to discuss the nature of those sensitivities. In response to questions about the investigation’s conclusions, DHS spokesman Matt Chandler issued an e-mailed statement that said: “The Secretary’s Office has received the review of the circumstances by which the individual was released in 2008 and are in the process of looking over the findings. Due to the ongoing criminal matter at hand, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Told of the government’s decision to withhold the investigation’s results, Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, expressed outrage.

“Prince William County has never been more frustrated with the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Napolitano than it is right now,” said Stewart, who has been demanding, without success, that ICE detail how many illegal immigrants are being released into the community after they’ve been charged with crimes. “They say one thing and do another. They say they are going to do something and then backtrack.”

After Martinelly-Montano’s second drunken driving arrest in October 2008, ICE officials released him on his own recognizance while he was awaiting a deportation hearing. He was in regular touch with immigration officials, even as his hearing was delayed three times.

Martinelly-Montano lost control of his Subaru at 8 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 1, and collided head-on with the car bearing the nuns, who were on their way to a retreat at their Bristow monastery. In addition to Mosier’s death, the two nuns with her were critically injured.

Sister Charlotte Lange, 70, who was driving, is still hospitalized at a rehabilitation facility in Richmond but is expected to make a full recovery, according to Sister Cecilia Dwyer, prioress of the Benedictine Sisters.

Just what is Obama trying to cover up ?

Best answer:

Answer by Cheese & Crackers
The answer is in the article

“It’s a document that includes law enforcement sensitivities, so it will not be made public,”

“DHS spokesman Matt Chandler issued an e-mailed statement that said: “The Secretary’s Office has received the review of the circumstances by which the individual was released in 2008 and are in the process of looking over the findings. Due to the ongoing criminal matter at hand, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

There is no cover up. It’s an ongoing investigation.

Question by the who

All these people just WORK there, yet they act like they’re so detached from the real world, and they live in some fake world where it’s all about makeup, cosmetics,..clothes,,that’s all they care about! God forbid you don’t look glammed up like they do, or “fit in”…then they treat you like an outsider.

They act like they’re these huge industry types and want to have nothing to do with you if you’re not like them.

I mean it’s JUST MAKEUP AND CLOTHES!,(and they take it so seirously)>

Sometimes I get angry because you get these really great people to walk in, they could be innocent kids, philantropists, etc, and these people treat them like cr@p just because they’re not glammed up.

What’s society turning to? It’s like the motto is “Be everything that you’re not, fake it, and be as outrageous as possible.”

To mock it, I wore a fur coat,a rolex, and looked like a male version of marilyn monroe complete w/the tude, and they actually…didnt even flinch! They liked it LOLOL.
They only are there to work for what products they’ve been trained for and if you even MENTION a lower brand like a drugstore brand of something, they get all bent out of shape.

I went to Bloomingdales/Neimans/Nordstroms and was surprised that one of their brands, Prescriptives was disappearing. I was surprised because it was a great line, and the lady treated me wonderfully when I had that to discuss with her. However, then I mentioned that even some drug store brands that I’ve used like Max Factor are leaving the US….she immediately turned a sour face on me and almost looked down at me like “How can you USE MAX FACTOR!??!?”

Like it’s some sort of a huge snobby no no, and it makes me less of a person.

Don’t these people realize that people can get their products for cheaper elsewhere, that their products are NOT the best, and even if they’re great, who says that other brands can’t be just as good?

I mean I don’t believe for a second that people can tell the difference at times what makeup you use.

But more importantly, why the atttiude? The clothes companies are the SAME way. If you go into bloomies, neimans or nordstroms and tell them you’re wearing something from lets say Macys, they look down at you. If you “god forbid” say Marshalls or something else….they’ll just blacklist you or something.

Aren’t they aware that people shop around, and they’ll get something at another store if it’s cheaper, and not everyone just throws the money around for high priced garbage? I mean, that’s not to say that alot of things the higher stores have are crappy, some are great. The higher-brand makeup is better to a degree,…as far as testing goes, organic ingredients some of them like Amore Pacific,..La Mer is just top notch, but I mean…some of the clothes, no one can tell if you spent thousands on it or $ 20.

Even make up you can get away with.

Hair is a different story, it’s tricky, some higher end salons are just better, but it depends what all you have done to your hair.

Haircuts themselves…vary, and no one can really tell if you got your hair done at a expensive place or not,..that is if you’re a guy at least..but it DOES vary.

Some people are blessed with good bodies, skin, hair, etc, that no matter what they wear, it looks hot on them,

and some people just can’t pull ANYTHING off.

But why all the snobbery?

Are these people THAT shallow, that they think that …if you’re not decked out in dolce & gabbanna, and wearing runway makeup that you’re somehow …to be pitied?
I’m just giving examples on just how FAKE these people are. They’re so far gone that I don’t think it’s even funny anymore. it’s just …wow. AVOID upscale stores if you want to preserve your sanity is my motto! lol.

Best answer:

Answer by tangerine(R.I.P. Patrick Swayze)
For some reason, people have the need to feel superior to others, and unfortunately, some of these people think that their socioeconomic status and/or appearance confers a superior position. What’s really so funny about it all is how stupid these people are, because there are some really wealthy people who don’t get glammed up and actually look pretty slouchy. In fact, I once heard about a bank teller who got fired for being snooty towards a sloppy-looking customer, and that customer turned out to be wealthy and powerful! LOL! Looks can be deceiving!:)

This question is sad. One of the founders of functionalism and someone who got the ball rolling for psychology in the united states made this theory and you can’t crack open a textbook and find this out? This is equivalent of not knowing that Darwin proposed the theory of evolution.
