Recent Fort Lauderdale reviews
"Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach is simply beautiful, even with thousands of spring break. Planning a trip through Eddy the condo owner was easy because he is professional from the first contact on VRBO to the day of check-out. The room on 22 floor was comfortable, functionable and balcony was nice view. Pool was excellent, beach was beautiful, Fort Lauderdale Beach has everything from delicious restaurants, shops, CVS pharmacy and 7-11. We opted out of renting a vehicle and were happy that we did. Cab from airport $25-30, rides into city $15. The Hilton has great staff and service options. One note, there is a lot of development happening in the area, so it can be noisy early in the morning. We did the Jungle Boat evening dinner cruise and really enjoyed the ride, meal and show - a must. But it all started with Eddy the condo owner."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 20, 2015View listing
"We were very pleased with the described property. The house actually made me feel like I was in my home when I was younger. Enjoyed the picturers on the walls and the place for the old telephone. The location was great and close to the beach, stores and restaurants. It was well stocked with just about anything you may need. The owner was very helpful with any questions and the lady that cleans the house was very friendly as well. It was also clean. The neighborhood was charming and the neighbors were very nice. We have a dog so the backyard was very nice for walking him, even though he liked to lizard hunt among the greenery. The only recommendation I would have would be to update the beach chairs and kitchen towels. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants the comforts of home. We certainly would rent again."Guest: Moe Jo Date of Stay: June 2014 Review Submitted: June 27, 2014View listing
"This property, as stated by the title is Adorable. Our stay over the Fourth of July weekend was quite enjoyable. Brian was outstanding as the reservation process was flawless. Location is great, property is well kept, and the cottage had everything you could desire. We had a most lovely time and highly recommend to couples and families. Keep up the good work...."Guest: junie h. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 31, 2014View listing
"We spent three days after our cruise in this house. We are a family of 4, with two teenage girls, and we enjoyed the location which is walkable to the beach and easy to reach from both Everglades port or the airport. Everything you need is close and we must confess that having access to wifi after 8 days on the sea was a plus for the younger members of our family ! The house was spotless and the surroundings very quiet since we were in the summer. Since parking near the beach may become a challenge, you should always walk to the beach. We highly recommend this place."Guest: Young family from Montréal Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 3, 2014View listing
Fort Lauderdale Travel Tips
If you're looking a vacation full of sun, warm temperatures, beaches, excellent dining and fun nightlife, Fort Lauderdale is the place for you.
While this Florida city may be known for its epic spring breaks, it's a great place to visit any time of year for families, friends or couples on a romantic getaway. Along the water's edge you'll find miles sandy shores, and when you come inland you'll have a variety of shops and dining options to sample throughout your stay. And with it's subtropical climate, it's an idyllic spot to escape the cold and snow or get a change of scenery during the warmer months.
Considered the "Venice of Florida," Fort Lauderdale features a unique and expansive canal system, so be sure to catch a gondola ride. The city offers a plethora of activities and attractions to explore, from arts and culture to live events and outdoor spaces.
Things to Do in Fort Lauderdale
- Bonnet House: In 1920, Chicago-born artist Frederic Clay Barlett created Bonnet House on land given to him and his second wife Helen Louise Birch by her father, Hugh Taylor Birch. For more than 70 years the families lived on the property, developing the 35 acres into what it is today. Now the house serves as a museum dedicated to historic and environmental preservation as well as creative expression. The main house is filled with a unique collection of art and personal artifacts from the families, while the gardends create a lovely tropical oasis and habitat for local wildlife.
- Museum of Discovery and Science: Head to the Museum of Discovery and Science, one of the largest museums of its kind in Florida, for a day of fun and adventure. An IMAX theater provides a 3-D look at science, and ecoscapes allow you to experience a simulated ride to Mars or a MaxFlight airplane. Peruse the extensive collection of Floridian animal species on display and see animal-centered demonstrations. While you're here, take a ride on an Everglades airboat adventure, dig for fossils, walk under a 12-foot-tall imperial mammoth and watch North American river otters play.
- International Swimming Hall of Fame: If you enjoy all things water sport-related, you'll love a trip to the International Swimming Hall of Fame and Museum. Learn more about famous moments in swimming history, the evolution of swimwear and see memorabilia belonging to people who've excelled in aquatics. The museum is dedicated to the memory and recognition of famous swimmers (both solo and synchronized), divers, water polo players and other people involved with aquatics.
- Hugh Taylor Birch State Park: Be sure to enjoy the outdoors while in Fort Lauderdale. An awesome place to do so is at the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. Take an exhilarating hike along the trails or rent a canoe and paddle along a mile-long freshwater lagoon. Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy as you experience the natural scenery, then fish off the sea wall or head out on a bike ride along the paved park road. You can also learn more about the area's natural and cultural history at the Terramar Visitor Center. Every Friday at 10:30 a.m., rangers offer guided park tours and feature themes like mangrove, tropical hardwood hammock, coastal dune lake and beach habitat. Guided segway tours are also available as well as kayak, bike and skate rentals.
Shopping and Dining in Fort Lauderdale
- Las Olas Boulevard: For a premier shopping experience in Fort Lauderdale, head to Las Olas Boulevard. Along the commercial stretch of the street you'll find a wonderful array of stores and boutiques as well as art galleries. This part of the boulevard is considered the riverfront area of downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the name las olas means "the waves" in Spanish. You'll certainly be able to spend plenty of time window shopping here and pick up fun souvenirs, then stop into a local eatery to refuel and enjoy a delicious meal as you discuss your favorite parts of your trip so far.
- Chima: Enjoy a Brazilian dining experience at Chima, named after a traditional drink of Rio Grande do Sul. Gauchos (meat waiters) roam the dining room floors offering churrasco of more than 14 different meats on huge skewers ranging from steak, lamb, chicken, fish and sausage. Brazilian and American flavors are combined here, and the salad bar is excellent.
- Laffing Matterz: Enjoy a meal with a side of side-splitting laughter at Laffing Matterz dinner theater. It's a live, original musical comedy spoofing current events and pop culture. Choose from a variety of delicious menu items like calamari, chicken, beef tenderloin, butternut squash ravioli and salmon, then sit back and enjoy the hilarious show that was named "best dinner theatre" by the Broward/Palm Beach New Times twice.

Business, Bedding, & Butlering
As of 5:30pm yesterday, our second big Homearama Showhouse deadline was hit. Phew. The builder was throwing a preview party at the house so everything had to be done, cleaned, and ready to be shown off to a whole slew of people (realtors, prospective buyers, generous local companies who donated furnishings/accessories to this cause, etc). Heck, the weather even cooperated in the final seconds and gave us this nice photo op.
It was kinda weird yet exciting to have the place alive with people, music, and food. They brought in caterers to show off the kitchen/appliances, and Sherry and I pretty much gorged since we had been running around in hyper-drive all day. There were literally picture frames and window treatments being hung in the last few minutes, so it was one of those down-to-the-wire moments.
We were also able to begin snapping some "after" photos in a couple of the rooms (we figured they'd never look cleaner). And since we're hopelessly impatient, here we sit at 11pm, sizing and uploading pictures so that we can share them with you right away. I blame all the cookies I downed at the party.
So here's what we had time to photograph before the crowd rolled in: the study, the butler's pantry, and the master bedroom. Get ready for lots of photos and lots of source links.
You've seen the office in various forms already, including this mood board, but here she is in her final state:
Here's a shot with the double-doors pushed fully out of view. The rug and chair were donated by West Elm, the table is from a local furniture purveryor called Green Front Furniture (I think the manufacturer is called Barkman, but I don't have a link), the light is from our Shades of Light collection, and the curtains were made by U-Fab, in this fabric (the curtain rods are from Lowe's). The walls are Simply White and the ceiling is Skydive (both by Benjamin Moore).
As we mentioned a while back, we wanted to stage a more feminine office than what we're used to seeing in other showhouses (they usually feel sort of study-ish and masculine). So Sherry had a blast planning a little spot she'd love to call her own.
The metal tray and vases are from Target, and the big fiddle leaf fig is from a local nursery.
Tucked along the inside wall is a bit of open storage to help keep this fictional work-at-home mom organized. It's this whitewashed wood & metal shelf from West Elm.
A theme with all of the shelves in this house is that they're a little bit more bare than we'd probably keep them in our own home (read: we have more clutter), but for budget, time, and practicality reasons we went a bit lighter for the showhouse (two weeks to outfit nearly 25 spaces = mad dashes like whoa). So even if it's not completely realistic, we tried to add a few office-y details (binders, boxes for file storage, a few frames, containers full of paperclips and rubber bands, etc) while keeping things from getting too busy.
The shelves are mostly stocked with items from HomeGoods or Target, plus some magazines and books that we brought from home.
At a local craft fair this weekend we picked up some more of these motivational "wisdom cards" that we have scattered around our own house. This one says "know when to show up."
Speaking of motivational art, once the curtains were hung and that metal shelf came into the room we had less wall space to hang the two larger prints from Help Ink that we originally planned to put in here (we ordered large 24″ x 36″ prints) but they kindly sent along some smaller extras for us, which we were able to frame at the last second (literally minutes before we snapped these photos yesterday).
So yeah, the fictional gal who works in this study has pretty much zero excuse not to be motivated.
We were going to have the electrician add a floor outlet (for plugging in desk items, like the computer charger) based on our final furniture placement. But instead he'll probably just do it for the eventual owner so it can be customized to their furniture layout, and not ours. Especially since a real laptop won't be hanging out on that table for the show (we have a stack of notebooks that'll be in its place most of the time).
Now let's slip through the butler's pantry (i.e. the small hallway between the kitchen and dining room) which is nearly impossible to shoot since it's so small, but is such a fun accent in person (it garnered a lot of attention during last night's event, which was really fun to witness firsthand). We pictured it serving as a fun spot for a family to write out meals for the week, jot notes to each other, or even scribble up a drink menu for a party if they want to use the small space as a makeshift bar – but we wanted to set it up as a fun little coffee/wine station with a bolder look for the show.
So we called up a local restaurant called Urban Farmhouse who is known for their chalkboard menus and signs (heck, we even Instagrammed one last summer). A few days later Li was there creating this masterpiece for us, all of which she hand lettered (any locals who want to hire her for signs and chalkboard art can email her at email@example.com).
As Sherry mentioned yesterday, it's all done in chalk marker (so it's not dusty and can't be smudged) but it can be erased with a magic eraser (or just painted over if the eventual owners don't want it). But for the purposes of the show, it's a fun surprise to cap off our little coffee/wine set-up in there. And it was awesome to see how many people were taking their photos in front of it for the party.
Let's switch gears and check out the master bedroom.
The funny thing about sharing the office and the bedroom in one post is that they both have a similar palette. The office's jumping off point was the rug Sherry found along with that awesome Help Ink art, and in here we were inspired by that awesome painting that was donated for the duration of the show by Lesli Devito (all of her art is for sale by the way, and she'll ship it anywhere in the US).
The king bed is a woven banana leaf frame from Green Front Furniture, which is also where the wood nightstands hail from, along with the dresser made by Universal. The curtains are the same fabric as the office ones, just in aqua (also made by U-Fab) and the walls are Stonington Gray by Benjmain Moore.
We haven't found the perfect thing for over the bed, so that's why it's bare (we figure bare is better than hanging something we don't like up there) but the camera was set on a low tripod, so when you walk through at eye height the light fixture hangs down into that spot and fills things in a little more, which is nice. Still wouldn't mind finding something for that wall before the show though…
As you know, we've also experimented with mixing in some gold and brass accents throughout this house (we have two gold fixtures in the kitchen over the island, one in front of the fireplace in the living room, one in the hallway above the stairs, another one in here, and a few more peppered throughout). We didn't want to use gold/brass exclusively (we fell for a few other silver and oil-rubbed-bronze lights – and even a few colorful/painted ones), so we just mixed in enough of each type to feel intentional, so no light fixture is the odd man out.
In cases like this one over the bed, it's awesome that it's paired with chrome, so the fixtures in the nearby bathroom (which are all chrome) feel related. This wood ring chandelier was donated by Shades of Light.
The rug is this Fair Isle 9×12′ donated by Dash & Albert and the bedside lamps are HomeGoods scores.
We kept the night tables simple, kinda like the cleaner version of what ours usually look like. Sherry picked up some inexpensive jewelry from World Market along with a simple mug and a plate (also from there) to casually hold the things that our imaginary lady takes off before bed.
As we mentioned yesterday, the bedding's from Pine Cone Hill and we love how it relates to Lesli's art.
Our first instinct was to put more lamps on the dresser, but that made the room feel kinda lamp heavy (with two on the side tables already), so we went for plants and baskets.
Two woven benches (clearanced down to $33 from Target) sit at the foot of the bed to round out the texture-heavy space (we love how they tie into the woven headboard). And you can see where one of our original Help Ink prints that we got for the office ended up since the color worked nicely in here. Oh the benefits of carrying a color scheme through more than one room…
If we had the foresight, we probably would've ordered a version mounted on wood to tie into the wood furniture, but for now the simple white frame from JoAnn Fabrics does the job. There are definitely a ton of things we learned/would have done differently throughout this process, so we're thinking about writing a post like that for you guys when this whole show is said and done. There's a giant learning curve, so trial and error has really been our method along the way.
Across from the bed is where the feminine elements of the room get balanced out a bit, thanks to some gray nailhead chairs with blue pillows (all HomeGoods finds) and some gritty framed photography. The side table is from Target and the gold planter is from HomeGoods. In the background you can see a bit of the "atrium" as we're calling it (with a Shades of Light driftwood fixture and West Elm brass-framed mirror).
A local shop called Modern Artifacts was kind enough to lend us some artwork for the show, so at the last minute (i.e. yesterday afternoon) we picked up some of these yellow-hued urban photographs by Bill Dickinson. They relate to some of the yellow in Lesli's artwork and hey, you get a little peek into the bathroom there.
The party started before I could finish photographing the master bathroom, but we can't wait to share that room with you guys (it's one of our favorites). But this post is long enough anyway, so we hope to be back at least one more time this week with more after photos and sources.

You guys did an amazing job! The house looks so beautiful! Congratulations
Psssst. The link to the UFab curtain fabric is wrong. :)
For sure! I wanted to get that posted to you right away but also wanted to say WAY TO GO YOU TWO! How exciting to have two major life/work changers (Target and Show House) right before welcoming a new one. Praying y'all have a safe, dance party, and rap video filled birth experience… of the show house and, maybe even, the baby. :)
Honestly – I cannot believe how far you two have come. From the start of this blog to now, your tastes have developed and matured and ican say with sincerity that I am in love with EVERYTHING in this house – and yours!
So proud of you guys, and so thankfully for the inspiration that you give me every single day.
OMG the autocorrect on my phone is terrifying. LOL I can spell, I swear!
I wish I could LIKE/LOVE your comment Mary Beth! It perfectly states how I feel about everything John and Sherry do! I've been following you guys since the TYH days, and even though you don't know me, I feel like we're besties and I'm so proud of you guys!! <3 <3
You did an absolutely stunning job! Big Congrats!!!
I would NEVER erase that chalkboard…would have to buy another one to use and just save that one forever. It's a piece of art! Love the show house…such a bright, happy place to live! Great job!
Agreed! I would seal it and keep it forever, especially because I love coffee and wine, lol!
Wow. Just wow, guys! These rooms are stunningly beautiful and SO unexpected. I'm totally blown away. GREAT WORK!
Looks FANTASTIC!!!! Aren't you tempted to move in after all that hard work!!??
Hoping to squeeze in a trip to Richmond to see it in person (along with all the other awesome houses!) Great job for a great cause!
Wow, you guys are maniacs! I'm surprised no one found you curled up in the fetal position in a corner with cookie crumbs surrounding you!
Love everything I see and a Pharrell sized hats off to the talented artist on that chalkboard! SOOO amazing!
I think it's very sweet that even as you go through and shoot, you come up with little improvements you would have made to make this beautiful space even more beautiful. It's that attention to detail that keeps us coming back everyday. You guys should be bursted with exhausted pride over this home. Not a house, a home, because that's what it feels like even in pictures.
It looks so fresh & clean! Wonderful job!
How's Sherry feeling? Are you guys getting anxious/excited/impatient or what? Can't wait to hear about the Barnacle!
Looks awesome! Are you guys crashing yet!?! lol Sounds like you still have more photos to take though!
Beautiful job! I don't know how you managed to get it all done and be very very pregnant! I'd be skeered of getting those rugs and floors dirty at the party. I guess you couldn't ask guests to take their shoes off? ;)
Aren't kitchen counters supposed to hold up to food service and prep? This is the second time (but there might be more) you've talked about how great they hold up after what has to be minimal use. Are you suprised? I'm doing a kitchen reno soon. Any tips for picking countertops?
Is that frame from Joanne available online or did you get it in store? I've been trying to find a white 24 x 36 frame!
Thanks! I'll have to go check it out this weekend.
Wendy- use the 40% off coupon on your app– I just bought a black one from there and it was a wopping $20. :)
i got one of those motivational cards at the spring bada-bing too! its such a fun little craft show! much more my style versus other craft shows!
ps. i'm sure this has already been thought of, but how neat would it be to house crash the buyers for this house and see how they incorporated their style with yours!
Just seeing these few rooms have already inspired me with our own house (we're working on organizing/decorating our home office right now, and I'm really liking the light fixture you put in this home's office). This looks like it was such a fun (if intense!) project, and it came out so great!
Beautiful! I LOVE the bedding.
Friendly typo alert—I'm not sure what you meant here, but you say "window treatment" twice:
There were literally picture frames and window treatments being hung in the last few minutes (even a window treatment)
Congratulations on coming SO FAR!
Holy smokes! The rooms are stunning and I agree- it's going to be a painful day when the future owner has to decide if they are going to take down the chalk art… You have done such a great job!
Everything looks so amazing — y'all are such rock stars!! I literally love every.single.thing. you have chosen for that house!
In the bedroom, for the corner on the right-side of the bed where the curtains are so close to each other, did you hang 2 separate rods or something L-shaped? Trying to figure out something for a room we have like that…
It looks amazing… I LOVE the coral-turquoise combinations, and that bedroom is so peaceful and exciting at the same time! I like the photographs but I kind of wish they were swapped with giant instagram pics taken by you guys :)
If you love something from the show house, can you buy/keep it for yourself? That desk could be perfect in your office too!
My heart was actually racing a little bit looking at all of these beautiful spaces! I can't wait to see the rest!
Simply gorgeous! Well done!!
The chalkboard sign is all sorts of amazing. Holy cow. Is there any way to make a digital version of it that your readers could purchase? I would LOVE to have that in my kitchen and have the perfect spot for it! :)
As always, SWOON!!
Wow! Looks amazing! I seriously want to live there! You guys should be really proud of your work!!
The details are GORGEOUS! I absolutely love those window treatments in both rooms.
OMG! You guys! It looks AMAAAAZING!!! I'm ready to move right in! You must be so proud of all your hard work. I got a little verklempt myself, just looking at this post! Bravo!

Looking for an expert to identify a mini
I've made this offer before, but didn't word it very clearly. I have several rooted cuttings of a beautiful miniature rose rambler that is a prolific rebloomer, fragrant, and extremely tolerant of the weather in Washington, DC.
I will send a rooted cutting to someone who is really knowledgeable about minis and can identify it when it blooms. Some of my cuttings are blooming already (started rooting them on Nov. 24th) so it shouldn't take long for it to be identified.
I'm dying to find out the name of the rose. It is possibly an old rose, except someone told me that antique roses aren't rebloomers. I've submitted pictures, but never got a firm ID.
If you'd like to do this, please get in touch with me through this thread. I will, of course, check the Rate & Review section and also see how long you've been a member of GW. I've had a couple of scammers contact me recently, so I'm being vigilant, but I'm a nice person and not (unduly) suspicious!

A comic spy caper and international love story, set in Europe in the middle of the last century, "Expo 58" is the latest sublime creation by Jonathan Coe, hailed by Nick Hornby as "probably the best English novelist of his generation."
Handsome, unassuming Thomas Foley is an employee at the Central Office of Information whose particular biography (Belgian mother, pub-owning father) makes him just the man to oversee the "authentic British pub" that will be erected at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. It's the first major expo after World War II, meant to signify unity, but there's inevitable intrigue involving the U.S. and Soviet delegations. In the shadow of an immense, imposingly modern structure called the Atomium, the married Foley becomes both agent and pawn--when he's not falling head over heels for Anneke, his Belgian hostess.
Funny, fast-paced, and genuinely moving, "Expo 58" is both a perfect evocation of a moment in history and the welcome return of one of today's finest novelists.

Music related news and gossip
Dear Gossips,
Bitch Better Have My Money.
That's all I've been listening to in the car. At my desk. I haven't taken Rihanna to the gym yet but I can't wait to break the treadmill with this song on repeat. It's that kind of song. Makes me want to screw up my face, get up in someone else's face, pick a fight. Go to Indiana and ask that old Pence guy …
Maybe we should send Rihanna there. Get her to tell him that his "wife in the backseat of my brand new foreign car".
Because #BBHMM is an equality anthem. The next time there's a Hollywood emails leak and female actors aren't paid as much as their male counterparts?
Bitch Better Have My Money.
When they whitewash a movie and cast Blake Lively in the lead role?
Bitch Better Have My Money. Read Full Intro
The Desired Effect of Brandon Flowers

I think I've mentioned a few times that I have a thing for Brandon Flowers? I say the same thing every time: He's SO beautiful. God he's so beautiful. Look at him! Full Story
Katy Perry's isolated Prismatic
While Taylor Swift continued her friend collection enemy isolation in Nashville last night, Katy Perry was in LA at the premiere of her concert film The Prismatic World Tour. Does it make you side with her more? The fact that Taylor seems to be systematically picking everyone off around her, with the exception of Rihanna who will not be bought or traded, motherf-cker, don't you even dare? Not me. Full Story
Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris: it's on
Rick Diamond/ Getty Images
Yesterday I wondered about why Taylor Swift would take Calvin Harris to Nashville if they were *just* recording. Click here for a refresher. Last night Taylor was at the Kenny Chesney show. So she will, actually, get back together with country. At one point she joined Chesney on stage. Full Story
Riding in cars with Mimi
I didn't even know this was my dream until it became my dream. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? Put Mimi in the car with you. Play her songs. FEEL THE JOY. Did it take 5 hours just to get her in her seat? Probably. Did they invent new interior vehicular lighting panels just to accommodate her demands? I'm sure. Full Story
Taylor Swift matches Calvin Harris
David M. Benett/ Getty Images
Twitter is telling us that Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris were together in Nashville yesterday. And they were dressed the same. And now everyone is wondering whether or not this is happening. They could just be working together. Or the less boring option… Friends with benefits? More than friends with benefits? Here. Full Story
Harry next?
Mark Davis/ DCNYRE2015/ Getty Images
E! News wasted no time yesterday after Zayn Malik's announcement that he's quitting 1D in reporting that Harry Styles might be next. According to E! sources, Harry's been telling his friends that he wants to get into acting and permanently move to LA. Full Story
Zayn Malik has quit One Direction. It's official. The band confirmed that they will continue as a four-piece. Here's how Zayn explained his decision: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined," he shared with fans. "But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. Full Story
Drake curates
AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Drake spent time with his ma, Sandi, yesterday in LA. They went for lunch. Then he took her shopping at Maxfield. Nothing but the best for your mother. The way it should be. In other Drake news… It was recently announced that he'll be working with the Sotheby's Contemporary Art Department as a curator at the S|2 gallery. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Last week it was Vogue that turned 25 years old. And very, very soon? It's almost 25 years to the day that Mimi shot the video for Vision Of Love. The song was then released a month later, in May. You shrug. But do you know the influence of Vision Of Love? Vision Of Love inspired an entire generation of singers and wannabe singers. Because while it was Whitney who was the master of melisma, Mimi took it to the people. Which is why The New Yorker once called Vision Of Love the "magna carta" of melisma. Think of what American Idol would look like without Vision Of Love. Or whether or not it would even exist.
I wonder if Mimi is already celebrating. Here she is, out for dinner last night, giving us some serious Vision Of Love hair, no extensions and no pieces. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Zayn is always the one you worry about. He always seemed to be the most fragile. And he wears it on his body.
So this "stress leave", over a few photos that showed up on social media, and the ensuing anxiety for both him and his fiancée…I believe it. I believe that the only chemical involved here is love, and thousands of years of poetry and prose would argue that it's the most potent one. He's just 22, after all. At 22, there is nothing you won't throw away for love. What I love about this story is that it's about a boy. Too often, this kind of emotional intensity – perceived as weakness by many – is associated with girls. And Taylor Swift.
That said, again, he's 22. At 32 you look back and you say, f-ck, that was a LOT of unnecessary drama. Read Full Intro
Strike A Pose
Iain, my friend and (unofficial) Madonna archivist, reminded me this morning… It's the 25th anniversary of Madonna's Vogue. 25 years ago today, Madonna released one of her most iconic songs. It's a long list of iconic songs. But if you're making a list of iconic Madonna songs, there's NO argument about this one. Full Story
Madonna will wait for Justin Bieber
If Madonna thinks he's hot, are you still giving me sh-t when I say I think he's hot? Probably. But I'm telling you, if you just look at him and you don't think about WHO HE IS, he's hot. No? Fine. We will agree to disagree. Anyway, time for JB's weekly appearance on Ellen. Full Story
The only combination
This must be how some people feel about Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. It was certainly how I felt about Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. That I could never see him with anyone else…until Angelina Jolie happened. And now, with Brange, there is no other combination. Which is kinda how I feel about Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz who stepped out together in Hollywood the other day. Full Story

CAS LX 502 Semantics 8b. Propositional attitudes 7, 9 Propositional attitudes The door is I think Pavarotti is hungry. We discussed the morning star is the evening star Bond is hungry Bond is hungry. A proposition. Either true or false, relative to a given situation. A sentence. Language has the capacity to embed one sentence within another. I think/hope/heard Bond is hungry. Bond is hungry Bond is not hungry The natural thing to suppose about I think Bond is hungry Bond is hungry Bond is not hungry I think/hope/heard Bond is hungry. is that the sentenceembedding verbs think etc. relate the thinker (Experiencer) to a proposition. Bond is hungry need not be true for I think Bond is hungry to be true. It's just that worlds compatible with my beliefs are those in which Bond is hungry. (The actual world need not be within the worlds compatible with my beliefs.) That is: I think Bond is hungry is true in any world w in which my beliefs in world w are such that any world I believe is a candidate for the actual world is also a world in which Bond is hungry. That seems pretty straightforward— except what do we make of a sentence like: I believe that 1+1=2. ? I think Bond is hungry Bond is hungry Bond is not hungry I think 1+1=2 Well, 1+1=2 is true all the time. Point one: This is kind of contentless. Point two: 1+1=2 is true in all the same worlds that 12345x67890=838102050 is. So it must also be true that I think 12345 x 67890 = 838102050. In fact, everyone must think both of these things, as well as any other mathematical truth. I think 1234x67890=8. I think 1=0. 1+1=2 I think 1+1=2 We've reached a rather hard problem. A similar one: Pat wants to marry Lynn. Pat wants to marry Chris. 1+1=2 If want does something like set up a relation between Pat and the set of worlds in which Pat's desires are met, one must be true while the other is false (if we presuppose that the two are mutually exclusive). Where to go from here? I think 1+1=2. I think 12345x67890=838102050. Pat wants to marry Chris. Pat wants to marry Lynn. Another case Portner mentions: Day-care provider: Noah cries all the time. Grandmother: Weihan is perfectly behaved. Trusting hearer: I accept your statements. Unbenownst to TH: Noah and Weihan are the same kid. Ideas? My guess This is a literature that I am not that familiar with, so I don't know what the philosophers have said about it. However. Clearly, we need to differentiate between: I think 12345x67890=838102060. I think dogs are not dogs. The pathological case is the first one. Perhaps it is a failure of reference, which might also be able to capture the Noah/Weihan case as well. My guess Noah refers to a baby. Weihan refers to a baby. If I use Weihan to refer to a different baby than I use Noah to refer to, then I have one of the names wrong. It seems possible, though, that one can have names wrong. Given that, perhaps we can make headway with the math question by supposing that it's possible to get the names wrong there too… My guess Tracy believes that 4+5=9 and 4x5=23. There's a sense in which Tracy doesn't "understand" multiplication. Tracy believes that "x" is a (ditransitive) verb that relates 4, 5, and 23. There could be such a verb. It's just not what mathematicians refer to as "x". But it's the verb Tracy uses, and named "x". Then, it is not necessarily true that if Tracy believes that 4x5=23, Tracy also believes that 4x5=22. If we insist that everything is a name, …? My guess There is a certain flexibility with names anyway in intensional contexts… I dreamt that I was Prince Charles and you were Harry Potter and we were in a leaky canoe, trying to return a wayward capybara to its birth parents. Perhaps a proposition carries not only information about truth conditions but also information about F (the naming function)? De re vs. de dicto Trying again: de re vs. de dicto: Pat thinks that the mole is wearing a green shirt. Premise: Essentially a drawn-out game show where players work as a team to win money, but one is a plant there to foil their efforts. De dicto belief: belief about description. Pat thinks whoever the mole is, s/he is wearing a green shirt. De re belief: belief about individual(s). Pat thinks Chris is wearing a green shirt. Chris happens to be the mole. De re vs. de dicto Pat thinks that the mole is wearing a green shirt. De dicto: The mole is part of Pat's thought. De re: The mole is not part of Pat's thought, but of my assertion.

"Added "thank you" to the front. Customer service was so helpful correcting a problem with my order. They really helped me out."
"Even though I could have gotten thank you cards cheaper I wanted them to match everything else. I plan on only getting married once so why not splurge in a few areas."
"The cards where easy to customize and WPD where very swift with making the changes and send us a proof to review and approve. When we ordered the matching invitations we had some major customization done since we are Swedish and wanted all the text in Swedish and also writing on the back. WPD where extremely easy to work with than and also this time. The paper has a very nice, thick and somewhat structured feel that looks expensive. Its thick enough so that a thin pen wouldn't show from the other side when writing your note on the inside. I love this design and I can't wait to send them to our guests after the wedding."
"Everyone who has received one of these thank you cards has commented that they admired the quality of the paper and the clear fresh design...simple and elegant."
"The purple color I chose looks amazing! So bright! Very happy with the quality of the cards! Thank you Wedding Paper Diva's!"

I switched from the Acuvue TruEye as I was unble to order them on my last refill; I've had nothing but issues with this line! My eyes dry out mid-day, if I rub my eyes (gently) the contacts will fold over and move back past my lid, sometimes taking 10 minutes to get it back out. Another major con is that these will move sometimes when I blink, which I'd never had an issue with before. For reference, I am using the exact same specifications for both types.

I'm still undecided about these contacts
By dasauto2.0
from sydney, nova scotia, canada
very easy to take in and out, I find they get dry very quick even thought they are supposed to be moist. have to keep putting drops in as one of my eyes gets dry and cloudy and once I put the moist drops in my eye is fine and I can see clear again. very good contacts but I don't think they stay "moist" very long. Might be better for someone with watery eyes.

I bought these contacts because they were inexpensive. I have problem dry eyes and was hoping that these would help. These are actually very comfortable but I wouldn't advise them if you have dry eyes.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan is versatile, lightweight and economical. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room for use anywhere in your house or office. This Air Cooler shoots a stream of air with oscillating louvers, to evenly distribute refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue.- Plus get the air cleaning benefits of the ionic air purifier. The remote control allows you to easily change settings. The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), so this evaporative Air Cooler sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature. This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy. Note: This unit is NOT an air conditioner, so there's no compressor inside. Even though the air temperature difference is not as good as an air conditioner provides, an evaporative air cooler saves more on electricity cost. It is best used in dry climates or open spaces. Leave window/door open to limit the rise of humidity and keep better air ventilation in the room. Add as much ice as possible and set unit next to you for best effect.

Behind the Scenes: A Decorator's Notebook guide to product photography
By Joe John - Decorator's Notebook Leave a Comment
We get a lot of nice comments about our product photography on the Decorator's Notebook Shop. It's a huge compliment as we've produced all of our own product photography from our launch in 2013. Since then, I think the quality of the photography has improved as we've got to know our equipment and find our signature style.
If you search the internet for advice on product photography, more often than not you'll be shown how to do "cut-out" photography with bright lighting and a plain white background. At Decorator's Notebook, we've always wanted to do a little more with our photography, styling our products in a more inspirational way. Whether you have your own shop, sell on eBay or are just interested in still-life photography in general, here are a few of my top tips and lessons we've learned along the way.
It's important to find a balance between your style and the substance of the shot. There is a reason that most online shops use simple brightly-lit product shots, aside from it being easier and cheaper, it shows the customer exactly what they are getting. Styled shots have the advantage of providing customers with ideas, but inserting too many props into a scenario will distract from what should be the focal point: the product itself.
We try to include enough elements to suggest how you might use a product whilst still allowing enough room for people to be able to imagine how they could fit with their own individual interior style.
When taking our photos for Decorator's Notebook, we've found a balance by settling on a single, well-lit space to shoot most of our products, which allow us to add some simple styling to whilst maintaining clarity and consistency throughout the collection.
It isn't overstating the fact to say that lighting is everything in photography! Identifying the source of the light, the direction and the relationship to the subject is key to photography in all forms, but has additional implications when shooting indoors. The size and number of windows you have and the space and colour of a room will dramatically impact on the results of your image. The cool grey walls in the room where we shoot keep the light neutral in tone.
The first consideration will be whether you can shoot in natural light or artificial light. There is no rule for which is better, it will depend on what you want to achieve, but it's certainly not the case that you need expensive kit to take good photos. Sticking with natural light will often give a realism to your photos. The tone, highlights and shadows created by light streaming through a window can give a real sense of place to your image that is difficult to replicate with artificial lighting.
The downside of shooting in natural light is that you are at the mercy of your location, the weather and the solar system! Even if you find a space with the right proximity to a window, you'll have to contend with the ever changing position of the sun in the sky and the arrival and departure of clouds. You can immediately see the appeal of shutting the curtains and bunkering down with some electric lighting, but there are a few things to consider. Firstly, your everyday ceiling light or lamp won't cut it. Most give off a warm hue which will effect the tone of your picture and you'll often be restricted by how and where you can position them. Fortunately, for as little as £65 on Amazon you can get a set of two continuous studio lights with stands, bulbs and soft boxes which can be really versatile in producing a variety of lighting effects.
If you are using lights of this kind, resist the temptation to "flood" the scene with bright light from both sides. It might be the advice of online tutorials for cut-out product photography, but if the light is coming from all directions with no shadows at all, you will end up losing all the definition and texture of your subject. In a naturally-lit room, you will often have one strong, directional light source with light bouncing back from the walls onto the subject. The simple way to replicate this with two studio lights is to have one light close to the subject shining directly onto it from one side. With the other light, experiment moving it around; from shining slightly to the side of the subject to completely away from the product at the walls or the ceiling. If you are trying to capture that natural look, a good experiment is to take a photo of a simple object (maybe a box or cube) using natural light with perfect weather and at the right time of day, then shut the curtains, turn on your lights and see if you can recreate the same lighting effect artificially.
Shooting outside
Don't feel bound within the walls of your house but resist the temptation to head outdoors just because you're struggling with space or lighting. Product photographs taken in the garden can look a contextually confusing if the item isn't specifically for outdoor use. When contemplating an outdoor setting, consider what it will add, in terms of showing how an item can be used or styled, like we have with these picnic blankets. Remember that very strong sunlight also means very strong shadows, so a slightly overcast day where the light is naturally diffused can make shooting easier.
I don't want to get too technical here, but if you are thinking of doing your own product photography it might be worth spending a small amount of time learning about the focal length of your lens. It's not necessary to have an expensive camera to take product shots, but it is worth being aware than many compact cameras and phone cameras have fairly wide-angle lenses. This is great for shooting holiday snaps and panoramas, but be aware that you have to get quite close up when shooting products and might start to see the shape of the product warping around the edges. If you don't have the option of changing lens, one solution might be to take the picture from further away and crop the photo after you've taken it.
When taking pictures for fun or for art, there's loads you can do to improve or manipulate an image to give it a different feel. The difficulty when shooting products is that the more you do in post-production, the greater the risk of you moving away from what the product actually looks like. Don't forget that your customers should feel confident that the product they've seen in your picture is going to look the same as the one that's delivered to their door! I stick to only minor adjustments, like slightly increasing the contrast to enhance definition and highlight natural textures. I also like to make sure I have the product with me when I do any post production work so I can check the colours are accurate.
Hopefully this gives some insight into how we do things here at Decorator's Notebook. I've always found that in an age where photography is becoming increasingly accessible, skilled photographers have become protective over sharing "trade secrets". We would rather share our knowledge, so if you have any questions about how the effects were achieved in any of our photos on the shop or the blog, please leave a message in the comments below and we'll be happy to explain as best we can!

Synology RackStation: Virtualization storage on the cheap
Synology finally hits the midrange sweet spot in price, performance, and capacity with the 10-drive, rack-mount RS3411RPxs
My lab is dotted with Synology NAS devices providing a wide array of services, from disk-based backup to general file sharing to shared storage for small virtualization build-outs. In all the years I've had these boxes spinning, they've never once let me down. In fact, I have a four-year-old Synology DS409 that is still performing perfectly. It hasn't lost a disk yet.
When reviewing storage devices, that's always the hardest part -- trying to gauge the longevity of a product without having a year or so to test. Since I've been running these units for many years now, I can attest to their durability. Synology has produced some exemplary small-business and consumer-grade NAS devices.
[ Also on InfoWorld: "NAS shoot-out: 5 storage servers battle for business." Five- and six-bay NAS cabinets from Iomega, Netgear, QNAP, Synology, and Thecus compete on speed, ease, and business features. | Watch Paul Venezia and Matt Prigge chat about virtualization networking in this Shop Talk video. ]
But I've always been a bit disappointed with Synology's higher-end offerings. They run the same capable OS as their smaller counterparts, but none have quite achieved my vision of the sweet spot for midrange production storage. That vision includes at least eight spindles (preferably 10), redundant power, higher-end CPU and RAM resources, all bundled in a nice rack-mount case. Synology has come close with devices like the RS810+, but that had only four internal spindles with an optional four-spindle expansion unit cabled off on a single eSATA connection -- close, but not quite all the way there.
Synology RackStation: Swiss Army storage server
Synology has finally hit that sweet spot with the RackStation RS3411RPxs. This is a 2U rack-mount storage array that offers 10 spindles, multiple 1GbE and even 10GbE network interfaces, redundant power, and a dual-core 3.1GHz Intel Core i3 CPU with 2GB of DDR3 RAM. That's some serious power for a $4,999 storage array.
The unit is sleek, trim, and easily racked and cabled. It pulls a DHCP address by default and is managed via a Web UI. It supports 3TB disks, so you can squeeze 30TB raw into that 2U space and use RAID 5, 6, or 10 to increase either reliability or performance. You can configure hot spares to jump into action should a disk fail. There's also a Synology Assistant app that runs on Windows or Mac that can locate a unit on the local subnet and perform rudimentary configuration steps.

warm yellow daylilies
Below is a picture of one of my favorite colors in daylilies - warm yellow. It is not lemon, it is not pale, it is not gold. It's just a warm sunny yellow named All In Ruffles. I'm looking for suggestions for another warm yellow, full figured daylily (ruffles are great) that is colorfast/sunfast. Any suggestions are most welcome:
We used to vacation in Michigan and every year on the way home we would stop at this place that had a sign that said daylilies for sale. There was just a hand painted sign by the side of the road and once you drove down a very long dusty lane there was a field of daylilies. I never could figure out who was running it. There were Mexicans who couldn't speak much english and I presume lived in the old trailer which sat there. I would get so excited when we would arrive each year and see row upon row of daylilies! One that I still have I call Michigan yellow is very nice. It's yellow, and if you like it you can have some. It seems to have great bud count.
I'm loving the daylilies everyone has posted. I know yellow seems to be everywhere, but a non fading sunny yellow with good form and abundant bloom had me scratching my head. I love the edge on Crown of Creation and Cantor, and Golden Hibiscus looks luscious. Coincidently I received Oakes catalog yesterday and they have Golden Hibiscus in it. Was it fate? So nice of you Flowergirl to offer a piece of your beautiful yellow. I certainly will think about it. I've heard good things about Buttered Popcorn too, although I would really like a fancier edge if possible, but that's not written in concrete.....Again, thanks for all of your suggestions. My list is growing.......Maryl
I am wondering if this qualifies--I believe this is a photo of Good Impression. I have been looking for the photo of Princeton Point Lace, too, but haven't been able to locate it. These two are probably the only ones we grow that might be called warm yellow. I think all the other yellows we have fall into the lemon to gold range. Avedon
Good Impression
Check out BIG BIRDS FRIEND, a very nice looking DL thats huge :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Roth daylilies
Thank you so much Mikhail for contributing these lovely daylilies to my list. I don't know how much in common Moscow sunlight and Oklahoma sunlight have in common in the summer, but I'm betting these hold their color better all day in your climate then in mine. Your pictures are awesome and just the form and ruffled appearance I'd like to have in a daylily. Thank you again for taking the time to add them. I'll be looking them up for sure........Maryl
If I remember correctly All In Ruffles does fade a bit, but it's very pretty when it first starts out and just the color/form I want - but in a non-fader. America's Most Wanted I thought at first filled the bill, but it faded to almost white by late afternoon. So......the search continues. I have ordered an older Carr daylily called Stroke of Brillance that looks to be colorfast, but until I try it myself I won't know. Interestingly enough, even in roses it's hard to find a warm medium yellow that doesn't fade. Who knew the same problem would occur in yellow daylilies.....Thanks Swontgirl for the comments and another nice yellow to investigate........Maryl
