- Leave Kakariko Village through the north. Wander east, past the Sanctuary, and then south through the rock field. Once you reach grass again, curve around to the right and then back north. Now you're on Eastern Palace territory. Don't neglect to enter the cave near the entrance if you're feeling down, as a Great Fairy is waiting inside.
- To the east of the entrance is, at this point, more or less an extensive dead end. Don't bother going there just yet.
- Climb the first set of stairs to your right. In an alley a little more to the right and up north you'll see a rupee flanked by two statues. These will come to life and attack you if you try to pass through them. Easy to beat, just worth noting.
- Climb the main steps and check out the door in the north. Note the conspicuous signs. Hmmm.
- Ravio will ask you a question when you get back. Answer with the bow and arrow symbol.
- Ravio will give you the Rented Bow. Note the word 'Rented' in there, because it will come back to haunt you if you die. Note, too, that the Bow uses a magic meter of sorts rather than a set number of arrows. This allows for unlimited shots, but you'll have to wait for it to recharge.
- Back to the Palace. Stand atop the pedestal near the locked door flanked by Ravio's signs. Shoot the two dimmed crystals here to open the door.
- At the bottom of a pit beyond is a small building. You can't get into it via the front door, really, so don't bother.
- Check the northwest corner of this courtyard, on the walkway above the building. Stairs lead up here to a ledge, watched over by more living statues. Kill them and to the east you'll find 20 rupees in a chest.
- Hop down and head south. Follow this path up the bluffs, beating off enemies as you go, until you find the entrance to the interior of the Eastern Palace. Now the fun begins. Listen to Osfala boast, save at the weather vane, and head inside.
- You'll start in a room with a door in the east and a door in the west. South of the eastern door is a conspicuous floor tile. Step on it to open the door ahead. You'll find a few rupees beyond. Be careful not to fall into the pit.
- Back to the first door. Beyond the central pit is a crystal you can hit with an arrow. Doing so opens a northern path.
- Follow it two screens to a room filled with rolling iron balls. Weave between the balls as you head north, hiding in niches if any huge balls come along. Once you're past the balls, you can sweep to the left and back south to find some rupees (and a trap which will knock you back into the ball corridor) or simply go through the western door.
- Beyond is a battle with a few squidy things. Very easy. Killing them will make a chest appear, though you can't reach it. Head south through the next room and up the stairs to reach the chest, which contains a Compass. The Compass displays the location of this dungeon's boss.
- Head back south and look nearby for another conspicuous floor tile. It will open the door to your right. Before going through, though, return to the room with the chest and approach the north end of the raied platform it's on. There's a hidden passage leading into a small area with another floor switch. It will reveal a chest containing 20 rupees.
- Return to the ball room and walk across the mesh bridge over the ball corridor. North of two statues is another switch which will open the door on the east wall. Beware, as hitting it will bring one of the statues to life.
- Beyond this door is a room with a rising platform. To the left of it is an orb switch on ground level; to the right is an orb switch on a raised level, reached when the platform rises. Hit both with arrows as quickly as you can, then run north to get at the chest which is now within reach. It contains a Small Key.
- Leave through the top door. Use the Key on the locked door in the ball room.
- You'll come out in a room with a button. Step on the button after charging up your sword attack and four statues will come to life. Use a whirling attack to drive them all back, then wipe out any survivors with quick strikes. After they're gone you'll open up a warp returning you to the beginning of the dungeon, which is handy for saving.
- ... you'll find a room full of rolling iron balls. Run west to find a switch, and stand on it until the nearby stairs have fully cycled into existence. Run up them while they're moving back into the wall, run across the walkway when there's no giant iron ball in your way, and run south to see another floor switch. Standing on it reveals another switch, which will unveil a chest containing more Monster Guts. South of the chest is another switch which will open the door into the southern room.
- Either way (preferably both), you're now in a large, southern room. Approach the huge door in the middle and shoot the orb to your left to make a nearby platform move, then head to the left side of this triple-pronged platform and shoot diagonally up and to the right to hit a second orb. This will open a door to your right. Hop down beside this orb and shoot the one on ground level next to it to make another platform rise and fall. Use it to get into the door you just unlocked.
- Hop on one of the rotating platforms in this room. Use your Rental Bow to activate the four orbs in the middle of the room. Watch out for trap arrows as you move around the central platform. Once all four orbs are activated you'll unveil a chest containing a Small Key.
- Return to the large, central room and use the Key on the locked door in the west.
- Inside this room you'll be treated to a battle with some skeletal warriors. They like to leap away from your sword swipes, so you can kill them either by cornering them or using arrows. After killing all three you'll unlock a huge chest containing a Big Key. Ooooooooo.
- Before charging straight to the door, go up the stairs in the south of the chest room to find an orb. It unlocks another orb in the southern room of this floor. Stand on the rising and falling platform for a clear shot; this will open the way to the boss' room. Save if you feel anxious, then step inside.
Woo, first boss fight! This one isn't too bad. Yuga has two attacks: he'll either summon three soldiers to attack you or he'll unleash a four-way lightning bolt attack, the latter of which is telegraphed by lines through the room. You can easily bypass these attacks by immediately shooting across the room at Yuga with arrows. Once he's down, rush in with your sword and do some swiping. Yuga likes to retreat into the walls as portraiture occasionally, but it's pretty easy to follow as he moves around.
- Once the scene is completed, you'll gain access to the special ability of Ravio's Bracelet, which allows you to temporarily merge with walls. Cool. Grab the Heart Container, then use this ability to slip through the crack in the wall and reach the outside of the Eastern Palace.
- Head right along the wall to emerge on the western edge of the Eastern Palace. Use your weird portraiture ability to make your way down, merging into walls to escape disappearing floors and to cross moving barriers. Look for cracks in the walls that you can slip through to proceed. Go north along the wall from the first such crack, before slipping through, and you can find a chest containing 50 rupees. You'll soon wind up back on the first floor, and, then, outside the dungeon. Huzzah!
- Once back outside some crazy doins will transpire, and you'll be outside Hyrule Castle. The Charm will turn into the Pendant of Courage, and you'll have a new quest: finding the other two Pendants. Sounds like a plan.
Once you have the Pegasus Boots, check out the rock field to the west of Eastern Palace. Sitting atop the right-most rock in this field is a Maiamai, just waiting to be dashed off of its perch.
Also once you have the Pegasus Boots, check out the line of five trees south of Eastern Palace. If you dash into the far right tree you'll find another Maiamai.
Check out that little building you couldn't access earlier, southwest of the main building of the Eastern Palace. You can slip past the bars by merging with the wall. Inside you'll find a path of moving cubes. Merge with the cubes and make your way up to the treasure chest, which contains 100 rupees. It's a fairly simple matter of careful timing and coming out of merged state over ground to get to the top.
Merge with the wall that comprises the foundation of the ground the Eastern Palace's main building is sitting on. Walk north to reach a treasure chest containing 100 rupees.
Merge with the wall north of the four posts blocking 100 rupees in the south of the Eastern Palace grounds. From here you can reach a Maiamai.
In the south, on the path leading to Lake Hylia, is a tree with a Maiamai sitting atop it. Dash into it using the Pegasus Boots to bring the critter down.
Near the Palace's entrance on the west side is a solitary rise in the land with a chest on top. Use the Hookshot to launch over to it, via a wooden pole, and you'll net yourself 20 rupees.
With the Power Gloves equipped you can access the eastern-most ramparts of the Eastern Palace by tossing aside some rocks. Look for a bundle of boulders to blow open with a Bomb and you can merge your way over to a Heart Piece in the resulting cave.
Head one screen south of the Eastern Palace, to the canyon area just north of Lake Hylia's northeastern boundaries. There's a fenced in Heart Piece here that you can get at with the Hammer. Three steps north of it is a cave you can blow open with a Bomb to find a fairy fountain.
Merge with the cliff near the entrance to this area and make your way south along the western wall. It leads to a cliff edge where you'll find a large rock. Heave the rock out of the way to find a Maiamai.

Holly Brown is (in no particular order): a novelist, wife, mother, marriage and family therapist, poker enthusiast, resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, lover of some incredibly shameful reality TV, devotee of NPR (she owes a debt of gratitude for inspiring more than one novel), and a believer that people should always be willing to make mistakes and always be the first to apologize for them.
As a writer, she tends to be inspired by contemporary events and phenomena. With her first novel Don’t Try to Find Me, she was intrigued by a real-life story about how a parent’s use of social media helped find a runaway daughter. In A Necessary End, she was compelled by all the maddening hoops that people have to jump through in order to adopt a newborn and what this does to their psychologies and their relationships. This is Not Over is an escalating cat-and-mouse between two women after a house rental goes wrong. She likes to take an emotionally charged situation and then imagine the people within it. That’s where her background in human dynamics comes into play, and where the fun begins.
With How Far She’s Come, her inspiration came from a wholly different source: from the incredibly uninspiring 2016 U.S. presidential election. Donald Trump’s ascension to the highest office in the land after his (on-tape!) brag about groping women raised some disturbing questions about how far women still have to go to achieve not just equality but safety. Yet since she wrote that first draft, she’s been heartened by the surging women’s movement, and she’s thrilled to be part of the conversation and, hopefully, the revolution that will lead to evolution.

Saturday, April 6th, at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club (RIRC), nearly 70 participants teamed up to fight against Gastrointestinal Esophageal Cancer (GE) and help Tennis Saves raise funds and awareness for this vicious disease. Jason Speirs, founder of Tennis Saves, Director of Tennis at RIRC, and USPTA Metropolitan President organized an evening of fun, food and prizes. Between sign-ups, donations and a silent auction, Tennis Saves raised nearly $5k for the Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association (ECAA).
"It’s so good to finally do something meaning full that is not only dedicated to my late father who lost the battle with GE cancer, but to finally do something that can make a difference." As close to home as this event was, amongst the crowd, there were several cancer survivors, manifesting just how many people cancer affects, and how important it is that we take a stand, and make a difference. Aside from the fun on the court, off the court, in the Clubhouse there were trivia questions, light music and fabulous food, thanks to the sponsors; Advantage Tennis Clubs, the USPTA, the USTA, Prince, Riverwalk Bar & Grill, Nonno’s Focacceria, and Loriet.
Brian Galgay, President of the ECAA said himself, this has to be one of the most fun and smoothest charity events he’s ever been to. With little preparation, Brian was convinced to play in the Pro/Am Worst Team Tournament, and he won!
On a serious note, thanks to everyone’s efforts, Tennis Saves’ premier event was able to use the power of tennis to make a difference! Thanks to the staff, sponsors and participants, this is an evening we’ll never forget. Look out for future events organized by Tennis Saves soon to be announced.

Every year, 15 million people suffer from strokes and over 5 million are left permanently disabled. Often victims lose the power of speech and vision and many experience paralysis — leaving them isolated and unable to communicate with friends and loved ones. Now, I.am.here is a mobile app which uses a Brain Computer Interface to translate paralyzed victims’ emotions into simple statements of feeling such as ‘I’m so happy’ or ‘I feel bored’.
I.am.here was created by the Russian stroke foundation ORBi and software developers Yarr!, in collaboration with communications agency AdWatch Isobar. The system collects data about brain activity, which it filters into a clear signal. The mobile software then defines the emotional data and translates it into language, which it displays on a screen. The app also stores a 30 day history of communication.
I.am.here is available to download for free from the App Store and Google Play. Could this technology be used to help others who struggle with communication, such as people with autism?

Strike Back - Bladedancer -- How's it work with Marksman spec?
Thread: Strike Back - Bladedancer -- How's it work with Marksman spec?
I am just trying to get verification about the Strike Back attack. It says "100% chance to strike back at your enemies with both weapons when you dodge an attack". It doesn't specify melee, although I would assume so with it saying 'both' weapons. However, I'm curious if anyone knows for sure if even if you're ranged spec, does it use just your melee weapons or could the ranged weapon be taken into consideration for the dmg?
I dueled a MM friend of mine as BD spec, and had that skill, and turned on the 50% dodge cd, and let him shoot at me, and was roughly 15 yards away, and he never got hit by any attacks, so I concluded it doesn't work on ranged, based off that testing.
Yes, if you dodge as a Marksman with the Strike Back talent... you.. will... throw... your... bow... at the enemy, run back into melee range, pick it up and then do it again on the next dodge!!!
"Both weapons" kind of gives you an idea about what area it covers yeah?
In short; no and no.
I lol'd at both of your comments. I was afraid my question would come across as dumb, but I was finding verification for a guildmate that asked me to look into it. Thanks though.

Founded in 1996, our flagship beer Moonshine is one of the most popular beers in Sheffield. Having started out on a small 10BBl kit, we now brew around 200BBls a week. in 2016 we launched our first core keg beer, Heathen American Pale and sales of this have grown rapidly.
2017 saw the rebrand of our core cask range and the launch of our new Brewers Emporium range, with Heathen as the focal point. Other notable beers in this range include Voyager IPA (with a new hop grist each brew) and Salvation Stouts (with a different flavour each brew). We also embarked on our first foray into small pack beers with canning Heathen in March 2017. The first batch sold out in two days, so we are planning to make the cans a permanent fixture plus doing small runs of some of our most special beers.
We have done some exciting collaborations over the last few years with breweries here in the UK and overseas, including Magic Rock, Northern Monk, Siren, Founders, Griffin Claw, Kuhnenn Brew Co, Cerveza Artisana, Rat Brewery, Raw, Beer Ink and De Noord-Hollandse Bierbrouwerij. Keep your eyes peeled to our website, social media streams and of course our Eebria marketplace for all our upcoming beers!
Funk Dungeon gets canned! The first beer from the Dungeon to get put into 330ml cans. This mixed fermented beer gives a soft oak character from the wood with a sticky hop presence and with a nice slight brett funk. Not overly sour, but very refreshing.
Inspired by the classic Pina Colada cocktail, with pineapple, toasted coconut and Sorachi Ace hops to provide a totally tropical sensation!
Deliciously fruity and tropical with a low bitterness, as youd expect from our Voyagers, pale and unfined. Packed full of hoppy fruity flavours for that perfect IPA journey.
Our Funk Dungeon brewer Jim and Steve from Siren Craft Brews Barrel Project have teamed up to create a delicately bretted farmhouse twist on the classic IPA. Hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe for notes of fruit and pine which harmonise beuatifully with our House Brett culture.
Brewed in collaboration with our dear friends and family at The Devonshire Cat, our Sheffield city centre pub. This opaque dream is packed with outrageous quantities of Sorachi Ace, Enigma & Vic Secret.
In collaboration with Leeds based Wilde Child Brewery - weve created this classically clean and crushable West Coast IPA. Heavily hopped with Ekuanot, Amarillo & Eureka for a vibrant and fruity character thats packed with waves of papaya, orange, melon and grapefruit flavours that break into a crisp bitter finish.
BA Russian Imperial Stout. A huge, robust and boozy Impy Stout which has been finished in wooden ex whisky barrels. Subtle Brett character which increases the complexity of the finish.
Dry hopped barley wine. Superbly strong with a boozy aroma of caramel & fresh citrus. Smooth & robust with warming alcohol, lots of toffee, candied peel & dried citrus fruits.
Brewed in collaboration with Melissa Cole for Sheffield Beer Week - a traditional Sheffield Pale fermented with Abbaye yeast strain for a fruity Belgian twist. Plenty of hops with the addition of orange peel give a really well balanced beer.

Hi! Ho! Jose’ here!! Brrrr, its cold outside! I sure am glad that I have such great owners that appreciate the fact that on a cold winter’s morning a heat lamp sure does feel good on a donkey’s back! I’m not the only one with a heat lamp, Kris has made sure that all of her livestock and the cats have their own source of warmth for the winter. I overheard her the other day talking to Charlie about how she just does not understand how people can leave their animals out in this cold. Now, I know that livestock generally don’t mind, but it doesn’t hurt my feelings at all to be a well cared for donkey.
You know, there are lots of boys and girls out there who have asked for a puppy for Christmas from Santa. All I have to say about that is I hope that those parents teach their kids how to properly care for their pet. Dogs in particular bond with their owners and need not only food, water and a warm place to sleep but also lots of love and attention. Why, even the goats and I like to be pet, scratched and hugged every once in a while. There are four dogs and five cats that live on this property and I always see Kris and Charlie playing with or loving on them! See what an observant donkey I am!!! And by the way, if any of you see Santa, tell him that Chardonneigh and I would really like some peppermints for Christmas and maybe some apples!

Affordable Accoutrements: Party of 14? Right this way!
It’s time for another Tablescape Thursday with Susan of Between Naps on the Porch! You know what to do … dash on over and see what our gracious hostess has prepared for us today. Be sure to visit all the other participants. The tables are set, and they’re waiting to entertain us!
Last week I showed you “China Carnage.” I had purchased a large set of vintage china, “Essex Maroon” by Lenox. Eleven of the twelve cups & saucers became saucer-less due to a difficult trip through the mail (and the absence of bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and double boxing). I did eventually manage to replace the broken saucers. You can read about it HERE.
I believe I mentioned that I would set an “Essex” table for you ... and now I have. I couldn’t decide whether to make it a table for two in the breakfast nook, or for six in the solarium ... or perhaps in the dining room ….
It was an extremely difficult decision to make. So ... I've prepared all three for your visit! I kept it simple (but shiny!). I showed such restraint that you won’t find a single swan, or cherub, or Christmas ornament, or Bible, or family photograph, or feathery wreath!
Without planning it consciously, the china, crystal, and flatware all turned out to be from the same period, 1938-1942. The Art Deco period was winding down, and the romanticism of the 1940’s was beginning. It’s a look I enjoy … less ornamentation than during the Victorian Era, but more elegant than the 1950’s Danish Modern/Space Age look that followed.
The second half of my life will be black to the white rind of the old and fading moon.
and who my friends are.
this imprint of my own desire.
the beckon of open road.
and old letters into the grate.
The cut flowers came from this garden and from a vacationing neighbor's. I consider it pro-active deadheading (liveheading?) to help insure new blooms for her homecoming. Did that sound convincing? Seriously, she always says to "help yourself to whatever's blooming!"
The vase in the solarium is "Cape Cod" by Imperial (1932-1984). I lined it (and the heavy crystal compote in the dining room) with large hosta leaves to hide stems of the flowers. I used clusters of shrub roses and of marigolds as "flower frogs" to hold the stems in place as I added single blooms to these casual arrangements. That "dinner plate" dahlia is showy, isn't it?
The three small silverplated vases on the "table for two" are by Pottery Barn ... via Goodwill. The made-in-India silverplated candle holders in the solarium were clearance Christmas items from Hobby Lobby. Place mats and napkins are from estate and yard sales. I mixed in a different Lenox pattern for the serving pieces. The covered casserole, sugar/creamer, and gravy boat are "Monroe" (1983 - 2003). The silverplated bread tray in the dining room is "Versailles" by Gorham, $1.99 at Goodwill!
Next week? I'm leaning toward a tea tray ... for ONE! How does that sound?
Beautiful tables ... beautiful words! Looks like something right out of one of my favorite classic movies.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Love the silver chargers and LOVE the chandy! A+ as always!
I could not choose a favorite, ever.I adore each table setting so much. These are from one of my favorite time periods.
Each one brings back fond memories of wonderful meals at one or the other of my dear aunties' homes in San Francisco as I was growing up.
Excellent presentations, as always! It's such a treat to come visit you.
Gorgeous tables, Bill...I love them all! I think my favorite one has to be the one in the dining room with all the beautiful candle light! Your chandelier is stunning! Ok, I know I'm supposed to be looking at the tablescape.
:-) I'm stealing your idea of lining the vase with leaves to hide the stems...love that! And love your floral arrangements! The Essex china is just beautiful...now you know we'll be expecting 3 tables every week from here out.
This is ---oh----so----beautiful! And the lighting is amazing -- and the flowers -- and your china --- and the table linens -- and well just everything! I couldn't choose one to love the most -- so I think I'll join you at all three tables - I'll bring the wine!
Beautiful poem and just as beautiful china. As I was looking at your pictures I noticed a few other things. The cat for one. That is too fuuny to see a fat laying stretched out on the driveway! The second thing I noticed was the tail lights of the car. Are you the proud owner of a Lincoln Town Car too?! Mine is a few yrs older....1995. I love me a luxury car ;) What a nice neighbor to let you help yourself to her beautiful flowers. Wow. I'm jealous ;) I hope you have a great holiday weekend.
Gorgeous table and love the colorful centerpiece! Very beautiful how you changed the lighting as the poem moved on.
Isn't is hard to stop once you start? So lovely!
Beautiful tablesettings. The china pattern is one I have never seen before and is gorgeous. I think my favorite table was in the dining room also.
BTW, I have used hostas many times to line a clear glass container. I did a huge arrangement for a big Hospice event not long ago and the container was clear glass sitting in a three ft. tall old iron piece. I lined the glass with hostas and did a huge arrangement for the serving buffet table using all tropicals.
You had me on the first photo just reading the poem and loving the tables! They all are very elegant! The china is beautiful and all the pieces you have chosen! This is a Big Wow! Love the silver! The crystal, the lace placemats! Love the story of you stealing the flowers. lol I sure she loved it! Now when she comes back she'd love to sit at one of these tables! I love you use fresh flowers. Wish I was closer to town. Everything here is about gone.
Where oh where to begin, everything is so beautiful, the THREE settings all great. Your home is so elegant, your photos have a professional quality, the reflections, the lighting, the poem. Not to mention the flower arrangements and the china and silver, oh the whole post is stunning....what delish eye candy!What a great post~it is no surprise your blog is taking off like wildfire!
Okay, again I can't look at the tablescape because I'm too distracted by your beautiful home! Floor to ceiling windows. Beautiful! Fireplace. Beautiful! Crown molding. Beautiful! Chandelier. Beautiful! Wainscoting. Beautiful! AND white kitchen cabinets! Do not tell me you have the kitchen of my dreams too!
Okay, let me go concentrate on the table now.
The tablescapes are fabulous. I love it simple without too much decoration on the table. Thanks for sharing your sparkling china!
Oh, my! This is having your cake, and eating it too!! I became excited when you said you would do all three settings! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! The poem is the icing on the cake!
Really more than pretty tables! I love the delicate pattern of both the crystal and the china. I love the white lace against the wood. I love the cup reflected in the silver pitcher. I love the beautiful chargers, all of them! I love all the flowers, I love all the vases, and I love the cat outside the window!
And I loved the poem and how your post went from dawn to dusk. The lighting in both is stunning.
Beautiful table, I don't know which would be my favorite. I know I would enjoy a meal at either of the three. Everything was just perfect.
Fabulous post and tablescape, Bill! It looks so classy, warm and inviting!!!
Wonderful...all three. The china is just lovely. I am enjoying your posts and your wonderful talent. Thanks for the mini flower arranging lesson.
Most elegant, enjoyed the wonderful photography. The lighting was amazing in all the shots, good job!
Wonderful! I loved the poem and the tablesettings. I especially loved how the color of the plates seemed to change depending on the light. Kind of like the life in the poem. Just fabulous!
Man you brought back memories! Good friends of my parents had that set of Lenox. I can remember many a wonderful meal upon those plates. Thank you so much for the memories.
So very nice; everything is exquisite. Such a talent you have!
Gorgeous pics, as always, Bill! I'm LOL about you "liveheading" the traveling neighbor's flowers! I think a tea for one sounds great. I love doing little 'scapes for one or two.
Absolutely breathtaking.... not once but thrice. Your tables are stunning and your photos are as amazing. I wish I could take photos like yours... you are truly gifted in the art.
Bill you have out done yourself. I think this is my favorite so far. I love, love, love this table setting. This just proves that less is more.
The last picture was of my view of the table. Outside with the kitty cat (I saw him stretched out there) scratching at the door to get in and enjoy dinner at that table.
This setting is so elegant. I love the reflection of the cup and saucer in the water jug. Very artistic.
Your tables have achieved elegance in their simplicity. Each has a special something that sets it off. Your photographs are wonderful...how did you get your kitty to pose through the window?
Thank you for once again showing us how to achieve elegance.
Everything is just so beautiful I don't know where to begin. You're attention to detail and thoughtful placement is extraordinary. Your tables aren't just settings, they are truly works of art. Your ability to synchronize a beautiful poem with your table is an indication of not just someone with a passion for decorative arts but one with a talented soul. I really loved your table and thank you for this great inspiration.
It's beautiful Bill. The table settings are gorgeous, and the flower arrangements simply stunning. Great work - as usual! I hope you can stop by and enter your name in the giveaway at Color Outside the Lines. I know you could do some fantastic things with the loot! :) Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful!! I cannot possibly pick a favorite, even though the China made my eyes water with glee!!! The poem was made for these moments in time!!
Have a beautiful day and thank you for making my day better by seeing this!!
Bill, once again you have outdone yourself. What lovely tablescapes, and the poem was so beautiful it made me teary. Kudos, my friend. Not only are you eloquent with words, you are eloguent with tablescapes and a fine gentleman to boot. Mr. Magpie agrees.
Breathtaking!! Words cannot express how beautifully you have captured the elegance of your tablescape but the poem you have chosen comes close! Everything is fabulous!
thanks for sharing it, love Jackie.
Truly you are an artist. Your tables are your canvas. Your placesettings, decor, and beautiful flowers are your paints and brushstrokes. (I think I read in a past post that you did some paintings, no????) It is evident that you envision... and then go at it! Your photograpy is amazing...are you also a professional photographer? Your tablescapes are awesome work.
-I liked the kitty out the window too. - I use greenery in vases to hide ugly stems! In very skinny tall ones, I have even used variegated liriope. Thanks for sharing.
Where to start? Well, you know it's all gorgeous right and so many ideas & tips to borrow/steal? Especially lining a vase with hosta leaves, that's inspired.
Oh, and will you please stop rubbing it in about the Gorham tray!Mon Dieu!
Proactive dead heading..LOL! Stunning tablescape and dining room set. I love the mix of vintage dishware and glassware. The clear depression glass pieces are so elegant with the dishes. I was trying to decide if I would consider the dishes to be "wedding ring" china, and I think that I would. The silver on the table is a perfect touch.
Hi Bill...your tablescapes are always stunning. I love the placemats and all the silver. I didn't get a tablescape out this week...maybe next. Have a good rest of the week and enjoy those beautiful flowers!!
The poem is lovely and the tables gorgeous. The photo of the reflection of the cup in the pitcher is exquisite!
As usual, a great post and as usual, I love it all!
Beautiful post and beautiful poem.
Everything is lovely and just so classic. Loved the china, the florals, the linens, and the silver. And the kitty lying outside the window, too. What was NOT to love? Five stars!!
Bill, you're a master of tablescaping! The photos are magazine-worthy. The elegance is inescapable. And I'm impressed as always when visiting your home!
*GASP* Bill, I followed your comment on Karen's site "somedaysarediamonds" & I am just speechless over what you are able to do with dishes!! My eyes just dance over the tablescapes you've created & I drink...no, make that GULP in the details like I've been dying of thirst.
You inspired me to go to our local Goodwill this morning & I found a darling little white scalloped milkglass compote that will play well with my Mother's antique scalloped candy dish & a new white Ralph Lauren cake pedestal that I just purchased.
Thank you for sharing your exquisite ideas & talent & for giving all of us a chance to experience your artistry! Truly a joy to behold.
I must ask you, though....WHERE do you store all of this stuff???
BEAUTIFUL tables. I just love that china! LOL..about your neighbors flowers, I'm sure she'll appreciate your dead (live) heading.
Bill--I love too many things to name them individually! Did I miss something--What are those gorgeous chargers? This is ready for a truly elegant dinner party fit for royalty! Did you at least pick up the mail while you were stealing...I mean, liveheading the flowers :)?
Thank you so much for sharing the images!!!!!
I loved Crossroads and I think it is such a good idea to put a verse between pics!!!
You made a wonderful tablesetting. Congratulations.
Oh, I had to stop and take a second look. The first table I just love. I know they are all beautiful, but that pulled me in! Maybe the poem? lol Bill you can certainly join us, and for only male at the table you will not be! For some are bring their husbands. Then there is so many places to shop, and Saturday you could go to Philadelphia, Carthage all the small towns in between and shop! There is a great event on Saturday, near Hattiesburg in Richton, MS I did not realize it was the same date. I use to go and find lots of old antiques. But I spent most of my time on demonstration of spinning and weaving. Check your Calendar! We would love to have you! Miss Debbie, is northeast of Memphis has a tea room she just Emailed she wanted to come, but she has a group booked that day.
Wow, Bill! I love the crystal vase and could tell you had lined it with something and yes, that Dalia is showy. I want to play dishes with ya'll soon. A few of those chargers are stunning. I posted today about a watercolor that reminded me of Duck Town, TN...have you ever heard of it. It is right outside of Chatanooga on the way to North Carolina. Anyways, we stayed at a lake there several yrs ago. I was ready to move in!!
Hi Bill, I can't believe that you pulled off 3 stunning tables! That is sheer talent in itself! I would also like to add that I like seeing your serving pieces too...I can just imagine the food...wonderful post!
So beautiful and sophisticated. I would give anything for a spot at this table. I can only imagine the conversation. If tablescaping can be art...you accomplished it!
Just beautiful! I love all the silver (especially the chargers). The center piece is lovely as well. Just give it a nice pop of color and ties everything in.
Beautiful and elegant. I love those silver chargers on your table for two! The china is simply gorgeous.
I cannot stop looking at these pictures. I have visited three separate times and I am not done yet! Beautiful is just not a stron enough word! And the glimpses I have caught of your home in these pictures shows such elegant taste. Bravo to you!!!!!
By the way, I love your cape cod vases. I have an extensive collection, but no vases!

The United States Bureau of Labor is predicting 11 percent growth in the construction industry between 2016 and 2026. This growth is higher than the average for all occupations and is expected to add nearly 750,000 jobs in the industry. Among specific trades and job categories showing growth, several roles stand out as being the most consistently in demand.
Not all construction jobs require manual skills or labor, so if you aren’t the physical type, there are still plenty of opportunities to work in a lucrative construction-related field. Among those “hands-off” kinds of jobs, cost estimator is one of the highest-paying, and demand for good estimators is high. Most employers do require a minimum of education and experience along with the ability to use current cost estimator software before considering someone for this job, but anyone with a finance background and proven success record with budgeting should be able to get a foot in the door.
Construction managers are also among the best paid in the industry. Many construction managers find themselves making tidy six-figure incomes after just a few years on the job, and demand for new hires remains high. Government contracts alone over the next few years are going to give rise to the need for many more teams of qualified construction professionals, all of which are going to need solid leadership to keep projects running on schedule and within budget.
The need for plumbers in construction is spurred on by several factors, not the least of which is the upsurge of new building construction that has already begun and is anticipated to be on the rise over the next few years. There is also high demand for plumbers who can do the refurbishment of old systems and replace them with higher-efficiency, low-flow systems. It has also been observed that a larger number of plumbers have been retiring in recent years, mostly due to the Baby Boomer generation beginning to make its exit from the active workforce.
If you can say definitively that you aren’t afraid of heights, you might want to look into a job as a glazier. Glaziers are responsible for cutting and fitting windows, storefronts, and skylights. They also seal, fasten, and remove the glass from every conceivable location and from every conceivable height. The potentially hazardous nature of this job leaves it in perpetual demand, and it is a trade that is relatively easy to learn.
Masons and finishers literally lay the foundations for successful construction projects. They work with various reinforcing materials, such as rebar, then pour, spread, and level cement mixtures, and monitor the hardening of the material. They then apply sealants to create a strong and reliable foundation upon which to build. It is a role of vital importance and requires numerous hands to get the job done. That is why it has been and will remain a high-demand job in construction, and one that doesn’t require years of education or training to learn.
Good painters are always in demand. In many cases, this is one area of construction that can provide the entry-level experience that leads to better-paying and even permanent employment positions. It isn’t the most lucrative of jobs, but entry-level positions often require no skills or experience, and large jobs call for numerous painters at every skill level to complete the project on time. Some companies even offer apprenticeship programs for those who want to make painting their career.
The general construction worker, or laborer, is one of the most common and perpetually in-demand jobs in construction. This is a great entry-level position for those with little education or experience, allowing employees to get in on the ground floor of an industry where there is real growth potential and opportunity to expand their skills and responsibilities. This is now, and will always be, an in-demand job on any construction site.

Whether you’re permanently unemployed or temporarily out of work due to injury or sickness, it’s important that you have a financial plan of action in order to deal with this difficult time. You might be searching for a new job already but you need to safeguard your finances in the meantime.
Bills need to be paid to keep the lights on, rent needs to be paid to keep a roof over your head, and food needs to be bought so that you can survive. It’s important to make your available money stretch as far as possible, so here are some ways to protect your funds when you’re out of work.
Believe it or not, being unemployed opens you up to certain monetary entitlements and potential options. Of course, claiming unemployment benefits is only the first of many financial possibilities available to you as an unemployed individual. You should utilize local resources that can help you out when your money supplies start to run dry.
Organizations such as The United Way and The Alliance for Information and Referral Services are two examples of groups that can provide food, shelter, and other basic necessities if you’re really struggling to make ends meet.
If you had troubles with your previous employer then you might want to factor this into your approach too. Misconduct in the workplace can open you up to entitlements such as compensation. Perhaps you’re still working for a certain employer but you’ve had to take time off work for an injury and received little to no financial coverage for your time out of the office.
You might want to look into legal professionals such as DeSalvo Law who can help you to get the financial compensation you deserve from an experienced injury lawyer. The point is that you should definitely do research into your entitlements if you think you’ve unjustly found yourself in your current situation.
Another great way to protect your funds when you’re out of work is to supplement your income. If you have some sort of talent then you should try to monetize it. Perhaps you’re bedridden or couch-ridden with a certain illness or injury but you have endless possibilities available to you with the internet at your disposal.
You should check out some freelancing sites such as Fiverr and see what people are willing to buy. For example, you could write marketing articles if you’re a wordsmith or design websites if you’re technologically-savvy. There are so many valuable skills that can be turned into an income stream.
Finally, you might want to invest your money in order to protect your wealth. It’s natural to resist spending your money when you’re low on funds but the best way to protect your money is to make it grow. You don’t have to make risky investments in stocks or bonds when you know nothing about that world. You could think of smarter and safer ways to invest your money.
Property is always a safe bet, for example. The point is that you need to start thinking about the future. Even if you find another job soon, it’s always good to have a plan B in case you’re ever out of work again.

The brand name is also essential; in order to make a lasting impact, it should be short and easy to remember.

Promoting your business to existing and prospective customers will enable you to distinguish yourself from your competitors. By creating a strong brand that is positively perceived by the target audience, you will manage to obtain bigger profit margins, greater return on your marketing investments and, last but not least, higher share value.

She added that the Special Olympics, a sports organization for children and adults with disabilities that raises money from a broad array of sources, is better off working with state and local partners.
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos appeared before Congress this week to defend the proposed federal budget, which would eliminate funding for the Special Olympics. DeVos explained that her department had to make some “hard decisions” regarding where to cut spending, and suggested that the organization might be able to offset the 18-million-dollar loss with charitable donations.
The next day, a Picasso specialist from the Pace Gallery in New York flew to the Netherlands to check the painting, and verified its authenticity, Mr. Brand said.
A valuable Picasso painting has been found in the Netherlands, 20 years after it was stolen off a yacht in southern France. Once "Portrait of Dora Maar" was discovered, art experts carefully examined it to verify its authenticity and be sure the recovered artwork was not a fake.
Traditionally, their banter opens with “It’s a beautiful day for a crossword puzzle tournament, let’s play two!,” a play on Chicago Cubs announcer Ernie Banks’s famous line.
The American Crossword Puzzle Tournament was held this past weekend in Stamford, Connecticut. Over 700 solvers competed on 7 puzzles. In the end, no one could overtake defending champ Dan Feyer, a musician from San Francisco who set a new record by winning for the eighth time. Competitors wear headphones to block out the banter of the play-by-play commentary that’s broadcast to word nerds across the globe who watch the final match.
. A new consensus could emerge across party lines. Or, in the plausible event that the lawmakers prove unable to agree on anything, the voting may add to the chaos.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has offered to step down if her Brexit plan is approved by Parliament. May said that she recognizes that new leadership is called for to carry the country forward. Even with May’s promise, all Brexit plans have so far been voted down in Parliament. It’s unclear whether a consensus can be reached among the different political parties.
The recent catastrophic flooding in the Midwest has led to concerns about water safety. Organisms that carry diseases and that live in standing water could potentially seep into the groundwater and the wells in the region, which could result in illness.
To Mr. Trump’s critics, however, the development represents a dangerous degradation of the rule of law, handing a president almost complete leeway to thwart any effort by federal law enforcement authorities to scrutinize his actions almost as if he were a king.
Reactions to the Mueller report, which was filed last week but has not been released to the public, have been pouring in from across the political spectrum. Trump’s supporters believe that the summary of the Mueller report by Attorney General William Barr vindicates the President. Trump’s opponents say that attempts to block the investigation and the release of the report are a degradation, or lowering, of legal standards.
The commander of US forces in South Korea warned lawmakers Wednesday that the US might not have sufficient intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities on the Korean peninsula to see an attack coming if denuclearization talks between Washington and Pyongyang fall apart, causing hostilities to flare up again.
Robert Abrams, the commander of U.S. forces in South Korea, said this week that he does not see evidence of denuclearization on the part of North Korea. Abrams also expressed doubt that the U.S. would be ready for an attack if North Korea is not disarming but, in fact, planning an offensive. Reconnaissance is a mission to collect information about an enemy or potential enemy by visual observation or other detection methods.
Eager to put the Mueller investigation behind him and move on to other business, the President returned to his campaign promise and announced that he would again try to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The President was unsuccessful in his previous attempts to get rid of Obamacare, which has popular provisions such as protecting the ability of people with previous health issues to get insurance.
A New York City mosque was partially destroyed in a fire this week, and the congregation of about 500 was left with nowhere to hold their religious services. A nearby Jewish temple opened its doors to the displaced Muslim congregants and gave them a place to pray. Both the rabbi from the synagogue and the imam from the mosque said that this turn of events was one of the holiest experiences of their lives.
Africa is set to receive a massive financial windfall courtesy of the world’s largest developmental banking organization.
The World Bank has pledged 22.5 billion dollars to help African nations find solutions to the effects of climate change. Experts fear that countries on the continent, which are among the poorest in the world, will be among the most severely affected by the continuing effects of global warming. The World Bank has already given 200 billion dollars worldwide to combat climate change.

But in either way, there are 2 types of logo that are generally prevalent. And they are the 3D logos, and flat logos. Now the question is, which one out of the two is better?
If the big companies are making a shift, then there must be some reasons associated with it.
Undoubtedly, flat logo design is the best option. But why?
Flat logos are minimal and simple. And the advertisements today are generally of very showy nature. When the logos are 3D, and ads are catchy, logos usually do not come out greatly on such ads. But with the flat logos, whether you use a banner ad, or a TV ad, they come out distinctly.
According to https://sk-bonus.com, even betting or gambling websites also had to undergo a shift from 3D logos to flat logos, just to keep up with the ever increasing trend, as well as appear distinct on flashy advertisements.
No one would want their logo to get lost in the glitter ads. And that is the reason companies are making a shift drastically.
Since the logo is flat, it can fit on any kind of background. However, the same cannot be said for the 3D logos. They needed specific backgrounds only, to come out distinct.
Now with flat logos, you can use them anywhere you want. Due to absence of any gradient, shadow, etc. they can be matched to any background with just a little effort, making them easy to use for the companies and website owners.
So, in today’s time, flat and minimal logos are definitely for the win.

text: Attempts by retail workers to limit their hours of employment through campaigns for the early closing of shops have received only limited attention. Yet, Sydney's drapery community played a longstanding and prominent role in this movement. In the 1880s, Thomas Caddy helped foster an alliance, now completely forgotten, between the Drapers' Association and the Sydney Trades and Labor Council to campaign for early closing by moral suasion. These moves ended in failure and revealed the problems associated with using moral suasion tactics, the fluidity of early worker affiliations, the strengths and limitations of early peak union councils and the changing status of workers within the drapery trade.

I was fascinated by John Rockwell's review of Ferruccio Busoni's Piano Concerto [ "If Mahler Had Written a Concerto," March 10 ] . Recognition of Busoni's stature as a composer is long overdue, and this article will surely spur the revival.
Mr. Rockwell focuses on Busoni as the creator of gigantic post-romantic compositions -- works like the opera "Doktor Faust," the massive Fantasia Contrappuntistica for solo piano, the Piano Concerto itself.
My own somewhat different image of Busoni owes much to Edward Steuermann, for many years Busoni's pupil and colleague. To Steuermann, Busoni was less a lionized public idol than a lonely, even diffident, pioneer leading the way into a new musical world -- indeed, it was Busoni who subsequently introduced Steuermann to another lonely pioneer, Arnold Schoenberg.
This side of Busoni comes across poignantly in one of Steuermann's reminiscences: "May I recall a memorable event from the time of my contact with a great musician, a giant among performers -- Busoni? He asked me to play celesta in the orchestra on the occasion of a concert of his compositions in the 'Sing-Akademie' in Berlin. Between two large orchestral works he played for the first time for the highbrow, snobbistic audience his freshly finished Fantasia Contrappuntistica. Stepping out of the artist room on his way to the piano and seeing me, he said, 'Please come a little closer to the piano -- I would like to feel one friendly spirit near me.' He gave a wonderful performance." DAVID H. PORTER Saratoga Springs, N.Y. David H. Porter, president of Skidmore College, is a pianist and co-editor of "The Not Quite Innocent Bystander: Writings of Edward Steuermann."

What kind of news stories do we cover?
We typically cover local breaking stories which include shootings, stabbings, fires, crashes, robberies and similar incidents. On occasion we do cover “human interest stories. However, these are usually planned and our news clients would likely send their own crews.
How do you hear about breaking news?
We use fire/police, press releases, news alert subscriptions, social media and tipsters. All these aspects are apart of our news gathering process, just like the news media outlets do.
When do you normally cover the news?
Our strongest coverage days are Friday and Saturday nights during “overnight” hours. This is also when many breaking news stories occur, drive times are better, and our news clients have limited resources. During the rest of the week our coverage varies. Overall we’re typically available to respond to breaking news upon requests if necessary.
How do media outlets request news coverage?
There are many ways we allow news media outlets to request news coverage.
When available we typically monitor the Suffolk County, NY townships including Brookhaven Town, Town of Smithtown and other hamlets.
What is your relationship with news outlets?
We’re officially independent contractors or vendors. But in the news business, we’re often referred to as freelances, stringers, or night crawlers. Most of time we self-respond to breaking news incidents we hear. On some occasions, our news clients specifically request us to cover certain stories.
How many incident scenes do you cover weekly?
We may cover anywhere from no stories to several weekly. It depends on our availability, proximity to the scene, and the newsworthiness of the incident. Our news clients may be covering bigger news that dominates the newscast or is near their budget and that will also factor on the stories we cover.
Do you need permission to film people at incident scenes?
No person has any “expectation of privacy” in a public place and anyone is subject to video/photo/audio recording. In the course of news gathering activities many people may appear in our footage. However, we do not film dead bodies and we avoid interviewing persons at scenes if they are distraught and if they don’t give us permission.
Do you receive special access to incident scenes?
Mostly no. The media is no more entitled to access to an incident scene than any other citizen in the area, provided that its on public property or on private property with permission. However, the media may be afforded special, escorted access on a case by case basis.
How much do you make per story?
We can make anywhere from zero to several figures per story. However, most of our routine stories gross in the three figures. How much we make depends on the content, how many news outlets purchase it, the coverage area of the outlet (local or national), and if any exclusive rights are requested by the outlet.
So you’re essentially making money off news?
Nearly all news media outlets profit from news content. While staffed photographers are paid a salary we’re paid by the story. Television stations attract viewers to their newscast to gain ratings and price commercial airtime accordingly. Newspapers and news websites sell advertisement space in similar fashion.
Do you feel any good about what you do?
We do. We believe that video helps communicate a story often better than words on a page. We hope that our footage inspires people to keep their loved ones closer, to help others, to stay vigilant, to learn from mistakes, to come forward, to make change, and the like. This is not just a job to us, its a passion. We show real life.
Is what you do similar to the movie Night Crawler?
The business model is nearly identical but in true Hollywood fashion there’s a lot of exaggeration. We don’t move dead people, we don’t sabotage competitors, we don’t drive like maniacs, nor do we withhold information from law enforcement. Most of the stories we do are often routine in nature.
Watermarking our videos enables our clients and fans to view the video while preventing copyright infringement. This insures the only entities who have the rights to broadcast our footage are showing the clean cut without the watermark that they have purchased from us directly.
What happens when you get to the scene before emergency officials do?
Typically, when responding to a scene we wait nearby until emergency workers have arrived and secured the scene. However, we have come across incidents even before they have been reported to authorities. In those cases, we always alert the authorities and assist, if appropriate.

If you're trying to find a good hobby for your child to get involved in, it's time to introduce them to the game of chess. Chess isn't your ordinary board game. It's a game that requires thought and concentration. While your child is playing chess, they'll also be learning valuable lessons that they'll carry with them throughout their life. Here are just four of the reasons why your child should learn to play chess.
If you're thinking about getting your child involved in the game of chess, you should know that it will do more than provide entertainment. The game of chess will also teach your child valuable critical thinking skills. Your child won't be able to simply move the pieces around the board. They'll need to think about each move, and how that move will affect the rest of the game. They'll learn how to always be one step ahead with their thinking, which will also help them develop problem-solving skills.
When it comes to playing chess, your child will learn that not all moves are going to go quickly. In fact, most moves will take quite a bit of time to complete. Playing the game of chess requires patience, which your child will learn as they continue to play. Not only will your child learn to be patient with others, they'll also learn to be patient with themselves. They'll learn that as they give themselves the time they need to plan and implement each individual move. They'll also learn patience through the games that continue on for several days.
If you're trying to strengthen your child's ability to concentrate, there's no better activity for that then the game of chess. While your child is playing chess, they will need to concentrate on the game, the pieces, and the moves that are being made. One moment of lost focus could result in a loss. Your child will learn to concentrate on the task at hand, which will help them throughout their life.
If your child has a difficult time with social interaction, chess is the game for them. Chess requires players to interact with each other through verbal and non-verbal communication. Not only that, but it's one-on-one interaction, which is a beneficial social skill for children to learn. An added benefit of chess is that once your child learns to play chess, they'll be able to enjoy the game with people of all ages. This ability will allow them to expand their social circle.

After reading Sebastiao Salgado’s latest book “From my Land to the Planet“, I guess i have to catch this one “The Salt of the Earth“, directed by his son Juliano and the German director Wim Wenders. Sebastião Salgado has created some of the twentieth century’s most iconic photography. From war zones to famine, genocide to exodus, Salgado has documented many of the world’s major events of the last 40 years in crisp black-and-white pictures. He’s also won countless prizes, including being named last week as a Master of Photography at Photo London 2015. I will highly recommend to any photographers out there to read his book as u will find a lot of inspiration and comfort in one of the greatest social documentary photographer and photojournalist in our time.
I have always tried to show people in all their dignity. In the majority of cases, they are the victims of cruelty, of events. They are photographed at a time in which they have lost their homes, seen their loved ones murdered, sometimes even their own children. For the most part, they are innocent people who do not deserve the misfortunes that have struck them. I took these photos because I thought that everyone needed to know. That is my opinion, but I don’t force anyone to look at them. I am not here to lecture or to set my conscience at rest by arousing feelings of compassion. I took these images because I had a moral, ethical obligation to do so. In such moments of suffering, you may ask, what are morals, what are ethics? It is when I am faced with someone who is dying and I have to decide whether or not to release the shutter of my camera.

In California, 1964, a young woman by the name of Gloria Szymanski agreed to be filmed in session with three therapists each exercising a different approach to psychotherapy. The intention was for these films to be distributed to schools and colleges for educational purposes, however, unknown to Gloria, they were generally released and shown in cinemas all over the United States. Here, Gina Moxley admirably gives Gloria a chance to rewrite the picture history painted for her. A divorced mother to young children, Gloria was deeply honest and wholly herself in these interviews, the kind of woman that ‘60s America saw to be unfit and duly shamed. Gina Moxley gives Gloria back her voice through the empowering performance delivered by Liv O’Donoghue.
Portraying all three male therapists, Moxley creates three homemade penises to help her become the characters. With great humour she becomes each despicable man, so fully flawed themselves but protected from society thanks to the appendage between their legs. Zoe Ní Riordáin provides the rocking soundtrack to the side of the stage, in appropriate grunge attire and providing a sort of narration interspersed with angry musical refrains that hark to the likes of Joan Jett. Liv O’Donoghue dazzles in a pink gúna as the chainsmoking Gina, with a flawless accent and an energy that perfectly reflects Gina’s own personality and the air of “f*** them all anyway” she undoubtedly had following the release of “The Gloria Films”.
Andrew Clancy’s set design is stunning, with the ‘60s fully embodied and a close replica of the real session room. The luxurious drapes hang high from the ceiling, and Sinéad Wallace’s powerful lighting design pulses to the rock sounds emitting from Ní Riordáin’s guitar. The impact of the Rorschach Test rippling over O’Donoghue’s body at one point is a powerful image at one of the many high velocity moments in the performance.
Climaxing in a compelling explosion of feminist values, the reclaiming of the name of the G spot, and a spit on all men who sold out women for the own success, this show left every audience member bursting with a renewed energy to make a difference. This show couldn’t have come at a more important time, and Gina Moxley has proven that no matter what role she takes on, she is not only a compelling performer, but a sensational writer, and just the right kind of mad.

Now, this sounded a lot more mellow in my head than on the screen. The truth of the matter is – I am doing perfectly fine. I have had a great weekend, good friends, many drinks, nice food, karaoke and sushi and junk food, lots of hugs and many smiling faces and everything else a girl can wish for. Now I just need to drag myself back to reality and have my brain connect in, preferably before the keigo class tomorrow.
Life is beautiful, it is just going a little bit fast right now, and I want to stop and smell the mikans without being late for class. Because look! There are mikans on the trees here! Isn’t that amazing?

I really don’t get why the Shelley Kyle line isn’t more popular than it is. The line does sheer and “pretty” so well. Those that like Annick Goutal, Tocca or Jo Malone London perfumes, should really try this line.
Annabelle opens with a “bright” peach and grapefruit with a hint of cucumber. Like many of the other Shelley Kyle perfumes that I’ve tried, Annabelle is sheer and delicate. The heart wears as a soapy and fresh with sweet but tangy fruits and honeyed florals. The dry-down is like the sheerest veil of tuberose with a light “clean skin” musk.
Annabelle is like one of those “my clean skin but better” scents. It reminds me of Japanese peach-scented bubble bath on warm, clean skin just covered with a satin robe.
Notes listed include honeysuckle, pamplemousse (grapefruit), blue peony, lily of the valley, Italian tuberose and lime blossom.
Give Anna Belle a try if you like sheer, clean florals. Or if you like perfumes like Tocca Liliana, Benefit Maybe Baby, Bath & Body Works Sparkling Peach, Demeter Clean Skin and/or Annick Goutal Petite Cherie EDT. Anna Belle is a feminine fragrance that is light and fresh making it a good choice for “daily” wear or warmer weather wear.
Projection and longevity are below average. It wears more like an EDT on me.
Annabelle comes in two EDP sizes (1oz and 2oz) with prices ranging from $37 – $72 at Shelley Kyle. This scent is also available in other products like hand soaps, candles and dusting powder.
Victoria’s Final EauPINION – Sheer, clean peachy floral. Anna Belle is “tangy sweet”. It’s not my favorite from the line, but I can see it appealing to people – especially people that aren’t really into perfume. That’s not me throwing shade (the reality is that the majority of people in the world aren’t perfume obsessive). What I’m trying to say is that this is one of those light, pleasant scents and it really should be more popular than it is. Plus, I think it’s priced fairly.
*Disclaimer – Sample provided by the brand. I am not financially compensated for my reviews. My opinions are my own. Product pic from Shelley Kyle. Leonore Ulric pic from www.fanpix.net.
what? you mean MOST people are not smelling everything in their reach? oh. sad.
Haha, I know! Another thing about Shelley Kyle that I sort of picked up on when I saw them at NY Now is that they sell to lots of small boutiques. Like most of their business is selling to small, cute boutiques. I guess that is another plus with them (vs a Estee Lauder company), buy their stuff and help support a cutesy store in your area. Sadly though, I don’t think anyone in Seattle carries them!
