Iron Horse Vineyards Descriptions
« Back to the Iron Horse Vineyards page
Description 1 of 3
Drive past the berry farms on Ross Station Road, past the point where you can't imagine there's anything at the end of the road, crest the knoll and be awestruck as the view opens up to 350 acres covered with grape vines. Continue down the hill, across a small bridge, past the vegetable gardens, up a winding oak lined drive, between a row of alternating palm and olive trees and finally to the charming Iron Horse Winery, where you will enjoy a stunning view all the way across Sonoma County to Mt. St. Helena. The winery is best known for its Sparkling Wines. The Obama Adminstration is the fifth consecutive presidental administration to serve Iron Horse at the White House, a tradition that began in 1985 with the historic U.S.-Russian Summit Meetings ending the Cold War. The Chardonnay is cool climate perfection. Pinot Noir is the winery's rising star wine. – Description from Cameron Skinner
Description 2 of 3
A pioneer in the Green Valley appellation within the Russian River area of Sonoma County, the Iron Horse family is building a legacy of prestige sparkling wines and elegant estate-bottled Chardonnay and Pinot Noir within a "holistic"environment of natural balance, cultivation and love of the land. Iron Horse is best known for its Sparkling Wines, which have been served at the White House since 1985, beginning with the historic U.S.-Russian Summit Meetings ending the Cold War, at the White House Millennium celebrations ushering in the new century, and at the White House dinner honoring the Pope. Their Chardonnay is considered a signature wine for the cool, foggy Green Valley region. Pinot Noir is the winery's rising star wine. Iron Horse has been named an American icon in a reference book published by Random House called "Icons of the American Market Place". Listed in alphabetical order, Iron Horse takes its place between iPod and Jack Daniel's, validating Iron Horse's reputation as a brand backed by pride, passion and quality. The Iron Horse name came from a train that cut across the property in the 1890s. The logo, the rampant horse on a weather vane, came from a 19th century weathervane found while clearing away the rubble to build the winery. – Description from JoyBubbles
Description 3 of 3
A Brief History Iron Horse is one of Sonoma County's most prestigious, small, independent, estate, family owned wineries located in cool, foggy Green Valley. The founding partners, Audrey and Barry Sterling first saw it in the pouring rain in February 1976. Driving down Ross Station Road, they were sure they were lost until they crested the knoll and the view opened up to 300 acres of gentle rolling hills and a wall of trees behind that looked like Camelot to them. Incurable romantics, and having extraordinary vision, they bought the property in just two weeks. In those days, Iron Horse was the most westerly vineyard in Sonoma County. Even the agricultural extension agents from US Davis recommended they look further east as this vineyard was prone to frost as late as June 1st, well after bud-break, and jeopardizing the crop. But having lived in France, the Sterlings knew the cool, foggy climate was exactly what they were looking for to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. And, as a native San Franciscan, Audrey Sterling had spent part of her summers on the Russian River and was familiar with the area. There were 110 acres in vine at the time, originally planted by Forrest Tancer when he was working for Rodney Strong. Forrest and the Sterlings became partners, upgraded the vineyard, engineered an elaborate frost protection system, built the winery and produced their first vintage of Estate Chardonnay in 1978. The winery officially opened in 1979 with the first vintage of Estate Pinot Noir on Barry Sterling's 50th birthday. The first vintage for the Sparkling Wines was 1980. The name Iron Horse came from a train that stopped at Ross Station at the turn of the 20th Century. The logo, the rampant horse on a weathervane, came from an actual weathervane that was unearthed when they were leveling the ground to build the winery. In the arena of Sparkling Wines, Iron Horse stands at the top.The wines have been served at the White House for the past five consecutive presidential administrations, beginning with the historic Reagan-Gorbachev Summit Meetings, which lead to the end of the Cold War. The winery is proud to produce a limited number of special cuvees for Charlie Palmer, Michael Mina, Bradley Ogden, Commander's Palace, and Disney. Iron Horse is truly a family affair. Audrey and Barry's daughter Joy Sterling is the CEO and lives at the foot of the vineyard. The Sterlings' son Laurence, his wife Terry and their children moved to Iron Horse in 1990 and built their home on the far southwest corner of the property. Laurence is Director of Operations. Audrey and Barry are retired, but still reside at the heart of the estate in the original Victorian built in 1876. Forrest Tancer retired in 2005. – Description from mriskic

Social Perspectives
Towards a Framework for Practice
Jerry Tew
The ideas and approaches which have been explored in this book reflect a diverse range of starting points, from the situated knowledge of service users and of practitioners of various disciplines, to the application of social and psychological theories and research evidence. Brought together, they provide a set of intersecting perspectives, rather than a unitary social model. Nevertheless there may be seen to be substantial common ground, particularly in terms of underlying values and principles, and in terms of certain core ideas (see Chapter 1). The contributions contained in this book mark only the start of a process: there are significant gaps to be filled, and many ideas require to be developed further in order for their full potential to be realised.
The current practice context is one in which social model thinking still tends to be somewhat marginalised. It is not easy or effective to 'tack on' a few isolated social ideas around a practice discourse whose terms are defined by the biomedical model. Experience suggests that initial attempts at a synthesis of medical and social approaches may not have been entirely successful in underpinning a holistic approach to mental health: for example, the idea of the biopsychosocial model did not fully take account of issues of power, differences in value base and potentially fundamental differences in approaches to knowledge. If such issues are not addressed, the likely outcome in practice can be a tendency to revert to more conventional ways of working in which biomedical perspectives remain dominant – and a concern with the overall

Tax Collections Fall but Not Enough to Threaten Budget By Associated Press • Jun 10, 2015 (WTVQ-TV, LLC) Kentucky collected less tax money in May, but the decrease was likely not enough to endanger the state's budget projections. State Officials say Kentucky is On Pace to Meet Budget By Associated Press • Jan 12, 2015 kentucky.com Kentucky's chief budget officer said the state is more likely to avoid a shortfall after solid growth in tax collections through the first six months of the fiscal year. State Budget Off to Good Start By Associated Press • Aug 11, 2014 www.kentucky.gov State officials say Kentucky's 2015 budget is off to a good start. The state collected more than $705 million in taxes and fees in July. That's 2.2 percent more than the state collected in July 2013. Beshear Plugs $91 Million Budget Shortfall By Associated Press • Jul 16, 2014 Pablo Alcala / Lexington Herald Leader Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear has signed an order to plug a $91 million hole in Kentucky's $9.5 billion state budget. State officials announced the shortfall last week following sluggish collections on state income taxes. Beshear's order Wednesday cuts just $3 million in state spending. Beshear made up the rest by transferring money from other sources, including $21.2 million from the state's reserves. State officials said they had few options to make up the deficit because the shortfall came at the end of the fiscal year when most of the money had already been spent.

Well I was also having some side effects, not totally horrible and as bad as some other people but I'd had enough. What a breeze removal was! So quick and painless. I have no had an issues or bleeding since removal. My DR prescribed me Lo Loestrin Fe and told me to start this Sunday. Anyone taken this? Good? Bad? Or what did you opt for after mirena?
Had my mirena removed yesterday... New BC pills?

I dont know if I can be of much help, but I got my Mirena removed yesterday too because it was uncomfortable. I am nursing so they started me on the mini-pill last night.

He told me to start Sunday with the Lo Loestrin. I guess I'm torn between starting it and going back to condoms lol. I don't know if I want to be on hormones or just deal... I am struggling to loose weight, hope that now it'll come off since I no longer have the mirena. Maybe if I loose ill try the pill then?
Posted 02/19/2013
I was on the Loestrin Fe before I had my son and it never made me gain weight actually I was the skinniest I had ever been when I was on it. Loved the Iron pills instead of the sugar since I had problems with my iron levels. I have the mirena now because I got pregnant from forgetting the pill but needless to say thats coming out TODAY I hate the mirena, probably going to switch back to the Loestrin. Hope that helped :)

We are a startup company creating a community based platform which will take user experience to the next level. Today communities online have evolved and become niche websites while some mimic the facebook experience while still others are finding new ways to evolve user experience by integrating new tools and new age sensibilities. We hope to fall in the latter :)
What we are looking for are short crisp teaser videos which could be animated or otherwise. We have a fair enough idea of what we want but are open to further inputs. The theme is communication and how it can affect the world in a positive manner. The teaser should drive the message in a subtle intangible manner. Later we would like to create a series of videos which would be part of the campaign. Timeline is also crucial for us as we are looking at a start stop of 2 weeks once project is initiated.

Film and Video Censorship in Contemporary Britain
Film and Video Censorship in Contemporary Britain
Thatcherism and the birth of the domestic film industry shaped the late 1970s and 80s as a period of authoritarianism in film censorship. This book examines how modern censorship works in the UK and how the process began.
Filled with a range of case studies, such as ones on the Last House on the Left and sex videos in the R18 category, the book explores the role of the press in sensationalizing films such as Crash, and Child's Play III. Central to this investigation is the British Board of Film Classification and the book pays close attention to the legal and political context of film censorship.

Hasbro Children's Hospital (HCH) recently unveiled the results of an $800,000 renovation project that revamped all of its pediatric operating suites. The five operating rooms and a video endoscopy room were outfitted with significant upgrades that allow for completely hard-wired interface and digital projection using an innovative "boom" technology. The renovation project, made possible by the Children's Miracle Network, allows HCH to offer advanced endoscopic surgery, enhanced neurosurgical procedures and better patient and staff flow.
New high-powered lighting, video screens and monitors have all been mounted to their own overhead movable booms and can be easily swung around from one centrally mounted apparatus on the ceiling. The surgical team now has endoscopes, radiology, patient records and real time anesthesiology monitoring at their fingertips during surgery. This removes much equipment, and even the need to flip through charts, from the operating room, as everything has been consolidated into touchpad technology hardwired into a computer network.
Aesthetic updates to the rooms and corridors were part of the renovation as well, including new desk space and flooring. All operating rooms were repainted a special white color that helps reduce glare and eye strain for surgical teams during procedures with LED lighting and endoscopic reflective glow. New modular storage spaces and an updated post anesthesia care unit are also slated as the next phase of the project.

Adding a Two-Story Addition to Your HomeBy: Danny Lipford
Adding a two-story addition to your home can cost less per square foot than a single story addition, since only one foundation and one roof are needed. When considering adding a two-story addition to your home, consider how the addition will tie to the existing home and be sure you aren't overbuilding for the neighborhood.

Trade shows must regain the excitement lost amid a culture of 'versions' rather than new products
By Hugo Macdonald
I've attended six design trade fairs in northern Europe so far this year. On returning home and attempting to make order out of the growing paper mountain I've accumulated, I'm shocked to see that the printed matter from the combined fairs can be reduced into one box file of "important" things.
It's not that I'm ruthless it's more that there's a culture in the design industry for introducing versions instead of new…

The Age of Kings is dead...and I have killed it.
It's a bloody business overthrowing a king....
It's up to a few....
Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail. But when gods are involved....
Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should....
The Powder Mage Trilogy, Book 1.
©2013 Brian McClellan (P)2013 Hachette Audio
On Audible since the late 1990s, mostly science fiction, fantasy, history & science. I rarely review 1-2 star books that I can't get through
"Excellent epic fantasy with Napoleonic influences"
Among recent epic fantasies, Promise of Blood does a great job of balancing old high fantasy tropes with elements of more recent, blood-soaked low fantasy of a Martin or an Abercrombie. McClellan's world is one on the cusp of industrialization and revolution, and we actually meet the main characters immediately after a French Revolution-style coup. Magic is generally part of the old world order, with the exception of Powder Mages, wizards whose abilities center around gunpowder. However, the toppling of dynasties set up by ancient gods turns out to be a fraught thing, and the book does an excellent job balancing threats both mystical and practical.
The worldbuilding is remarkably detailed and interesting. McClellan has put a lot of thought into how sorcery would be used in a war of muskets and swords, and even how the economics and politics of the world work out. His three main characters are also fascinating (though they can take a lot of punishment and survive!), and, through their eyes, the story becomes alternately a high fantasy adventure to stop an evil sorceress, a murder mystery, and a political thriller.
If there is a weakness, it is that, in this nuanced world, the bad guys seem a little flat compared to the well-rounded, and interesting flawed, protagonists. They are also often neigh-unkillable, and a little too prone to mustache-twirling acts of cruelty and monologues about their evil plans. This wouldn't have been an issue except that the rest of the book seems so much more sophisticated.
This was well-read and a real winner. I am going to download the next book in the series right after writing this review!
"A Promise of Awesome!"
A review of A Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan
I enjoyed Brian McClellan's A Promise of Blood. It was a fun read from start to finish. It also perfectly meets the need I've been feeling for a while now. I love epic fantasy, but I feel the swords and sorcery trope is a bit tired. Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of room for awesome in medieval-based fantasy, but we've been stuck in the dark ages for quite some time. I want to see how wizards deal with the industrial revolution, which is exactly what McClellan does in this book.
What's great about A Promise of Blood, is that most of the bread and butter fantasy tropes are still there, they just have to deal with the upstart middle-class powder mages who have decided that the oligarchic sorcerers have had their turn. In fact if you took, say, the Wheel of Time, and revisited fifty or a hundred years after the events in A Memory of Light, you'd basically have A Promise of Blood. It basically has the same back story - way back when the sorcerers did stuff that makes today's elite look like children; the sorcerers can manipulate the classical elements; the sorcerers and kings have all the power and most of the wealth. There's even the threat of gods returning to wreak havoc on mere mortals' best laid plans.
But the times, they are a changing, thanks to Field Marshal Tamas and his cabal of powder mages, who ingest gunpowder and can manipulate bullets, whether that be bouncing them around corners or sniping someone from several miles away. And McClellan definitely delivers on his promise. Overthrowing the King and all the nobility can be a messy affair, and you can bet that the neighboring monarchs aren't thrilled that Tamas killed god's chosen king. Their own subjects might get ideas, after all.
I thought McClellan did a good job choosing his viewpoint characters. The story is told through the eyes of the General and interim dictator, his son, the common soldier, a middle-class investigator, and a laundress of one of the erstwhile noble families. I'm not giving names because I listened to the Audiobook and don't know how to spell anyone's name. I felt that giving us these different viewpoints lets us really feel the impact of all these social changes. Plus, the legion of secondary characters are also well-rounded and add to the depth.
As a note on the Audiobook, Christian Rodska does an excellent job narrating. He really gets into almost acting out the dialog instead of merely reading it.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi Fan
"Flintlock fantasy with a solid story arc."
Promise of Blood is "Flintlock Fantasy" and introduces the concept of Powder Mages who are gun using sorcerers that rely on gunpowder to fuel their abilities. Powder Mages can enter a powder trance by ingesting gun powder and then manipulate bullets as they fly or explode any gun powder being carried by enemies. It is a unique magic system and executed pretty well by Brian McClellan. That concept combined with an interesting story arc carry the book and make up for the characters which I found to be a little uninteresting as a whole.
The book starts at the end of a coup led by Field Marshall Tamas, who with his cabal of Powder Mages, has just ousted the King and killed off his cabal of Privileged Sorcerers. A mystery unfolds when each member of the royal cabal utters the same words as they die: "You can't break Kresimir's promise." Tamas calls on Inspector Adamat to help sort out what those words mean and this leads to a story that unfolds over 3 books involving multiple nations, armies, and even gods.
The three main characters are Field Marshall Tamas, Inspector Adamat, and the Field Marshall's son, Taniel Two-Shot. Taniel earned his nickname because as a Powder Mage he is able to shoot two bullets at once to kill two different people. In what is perhaps the most interesting story line in book 1, Taniel is sent off by Tamas to kill the one remaining member of the Royal Cabal who survived the coup. That person is Privileged Borbador, who was raised by Tamas and happens to be Taniel's best friend.
Christian Rodska does a decent job at the narration and seems to be a good fit for the content.
"excellent story!"
this is a refreshing story line. I really loved that more than half of these characters were old men, who had seen the world, lived long lives, and were working for a different future. You start the story off with the coupes end, an then get to see what happens AFTER the government gets overthrown. great characters with lots of complexity
I have to say that I loved Tamas. He is awesome! So busy working for a better future, navigating the intrigues of the other power players in the city, preparing for a war, and trying to deal with the reincarnation of gods. All while still grieving over his wife and trying to figure out how to connect with his son. He is such a gruff, yet lovable old man.
I love Christian Rodska. The fact that he was narrating this story played a huge part in my decision to select this book!
Over the years I've developed the mindset that, if I'm going to spend time reading a story, I want it to be a good one. :)
"Wonderful Fantasy set in Napoleonic-Era style tecn"
I'm sick and tired of nobles, kings, emperors, dukes, lords, and knights. It looks like Brian McClellan feels the same way.
The narration was fantastic. Christian Rodska usually does great and this is no exception.
Main components are as follows:
* Oliver Cromwell style protagonist. "The age of kings is dead" indeed.
* Magic Musketeers, or "Powder Mages." They're super interesting and fun.
* Old Magic/Feudalism vs. New Magic/New Technology
* Frontiersman + Native Tribeswoman ala French/Indian war style groups.
* Old Gods and Ancient wizard creatures.
The Characters feel real and realized, the plot is interesting and fun, and the ending is satisfying and a good setup for the next book in the series.
Give it a try! :)
"Best debut novel in many years!"
Do not miss out on this book! It is a fantasy book about believable people, idealism warring with necessities. The magical system is fresh and inventive. And to top it off you get to laugh out loud now and then. One of the best books (if not the best) I have listened to.
Christian Rodska is awesome as a narrator. He is one of the best!
"Apparently I heard a different book."
I don't get it. I bought this book because of all the great reviews. I love Brandon Sanderson. I have read and listened to every one of his books multiple times. This book is NOTHING like Sanderson! I finished it - but only out of shear determination and was relieved when it was over. The narration was bland with no breaks between scenes so it took a few sentences to tell that he had even changed scenes. Character accents and voices were inconsistent. Time didn't flow the same between different parts of the story. Minor characters that appeared for a single purpose got as much back story as the major characters. The major characters were two dimensional, motivation and actions were murky. The "tactical genius" walked right into at least three obvious traps. The detective couldn't see what was in front of his nose and warriors couldn't tell what the enemy had planned when it was slapping them in the face. It was also very repetitive. After the first 10 times I rolled my eyes every time we again had to hear about the side effects of the beginning of a powder trance. And that is just one example, there are more. I could go on but instead I will just stay away from this author and narrator in future.
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"First it was weird, but then AWESOME!!"
At first when I started this book, I was thinking its going to be awesome because it was a recommendation from the great author Brandon Sanderson, as Brian McClellan was a student of his. But after a chapter or two, it had a bit of confusion in it. I have assumed that the detective is the lead character at first, then I got a bit lost with the names of some of the characters.
That was the down side, the plus side was is plenty: story was good, specially towards the end of the book. A great ending which lets you think what the hell is going to happen in the next book. some funny twists here and there. Narration was good Christian did a good job with the characters, although it could have been better.
What I recommend is after you listen to it the first time, to give it another listen so you would understand everything that is going on, specially the beginning.
Waiting for the next book to come, don't be late.
"Fun world"
Great world building, but over use of exposition and stilted dialogue made listening a chore.
Fulltilt 3d
"Just couldn't get past the narration"
I've never read Brian McClellan previously and purchased this on a friend's suggestion. They obviously read the paper version so were able to get into the story. I on the other hand grabbed the audio version and after suffering a mere 5 chapters had to quit.
The narrator, while eloquent, was a one trick pony that only had one character trait - "crotchety old man"
Every character sounded to similar and equally angry to the point of not giving me a chance to get attached to any of them.
Given time I may give McClellan a second chance and buy the physical book but for now I'll pass.

"Sooooo, I heard you like this girl..." Grell said casually as he strolled into William's office. William was occupied with paperwork as always and was currently busy stamping pages together and putting them into neat piles. Once he had heard what the red haired shinigami had said he slowly lifted his head up, a light scattering of pink resting across his face underneath the frames of his glasses.
"Of course not!"
His face quickly turned to a look of slight panic "Who told you?!"he demanded.
"Oh come on, Will~ It's soooo obvious!" Grell drawled as he flicked William on the cheek with a gloved hand which earned him a glare. A few moments passed as William waited for an explanation until Grell finally muttered "...Ronald. He was telling everyone in the lunchroom."
William sighed and covered his face for a moment before turning to the red haired shinigami with a most serious face.
"Whatever you heard was absolutely untrue. I'll have to speak to Knox about spreading false rumours..."
Grell raised a red eyebrow at this remark and simply shrugged.
"If you need my help, you know where my office is" he winked as he skipped out of the room.
"It's ______, isn't it?" Grell shrieked happily "I kneeew it!~"
"Quieten down!" William hissed "I just need a few slight pointers on how to go about with this..."
"Yes yes, alright! Grell the love expert is here to help~" the man giggled. He began pacing around the small but very tidy office, his red heels clacking on the cold ground with every step.
"Don't rush me!" Grell growled irritably as he carried on pacing.
He stopped and gave William the most scariest smile he had ever seen "Girls love flowers, Will. You'll definately win her over~!" Grell cried.
"Alright… I suppose I can find something on the way to work tommorow..." William replied dismissively as he carried on stacking the paperwork on his desk. It couldn't be that easy could it, he thought to himself.
"No, no, no!" Grell yelled in frustration as he slammed his hands on the table "You need to get her roses" he said impatiently "Girls love roses!"
"Are you sure that's not just you because of the fact that they are red?" William asked as he pushed his glasses up.
"William. Please. Just get her roses. You'll thank me some day when we have a double wedding, Sebby and I and you and ______" he squealed at the thought.
William sighed "Are you sure she'll like them?" he asked uncertainty dripping from his voice.
"Positive~!" Grell replied happily.
"So do I just get them and give them to her?" William asked quietly.
"Of course you're not giving them to her." Grell snapped "Knowing you, you'll probably mess that up badly. I'll give them to her, speak to her a little bit. You and her will be married in no time~!"
"It's not like I have a choice do I?" William sighed.
"Alright. Do what you must."
You kept getting distracted. You had a whole mountain of paper work to do but you kept losing your mind over this and that and staring out the window and wondering when lunchtime was and if your skirt was too tight or made your butt look big. At this rate I'll have to work overtime, you thought. You mentally slapped yourself and forced your hand to pick up the stapler. A little routine began.
Stamp. Staple. Stack.
You went on for 5 minutes before you got distracted again. You looked at the pouring rain outside the building.
Stamp. Staple. Stack.
Stamp. Staple. Stack.
Just then you felt a sharp pain in your hand. When you looked down, you realized you had stapled your hand instead of the paper. You swore quietly and took the staple carefully out of your hand, a small amount of blood dripped onto the papers staining them crimson.
Whilst you were furiously dabbing your hand with a tissue you heard a knock at the door.
"Come in," You said as you quickly tossed the tissue into the bin behind you hoping your aim was still good. Grell skipped in, his red hair bouncing with his every skip. He was holding something behind him.
"What's up, Grell?" you asked, craning your neck in wonder to try and get a glimpse of what he was holding behind him.
"Oh nothing much~ Just some roses for you!" He giggled as he placed the bouquet down onto your desk with extreme care as to not damage any of the flowers. There was a note attached to the bouquet that had a single name written in small neat writing: William.
"Are you sure these are for me, Grell?" you asked. This was definitely William's handwriting. You had seen it many times before to know that this note could not have been forged by anyone. Why would your boss send you flowers? Surely there must be some kind of mistake? A mix up? Is Grell just messing with me again?
"Of course~ You know, ____ he's soooo into you. Just the other day we was prancing around the lunchroom like he does telling us all how much he wants you to have his babies. He totally digs you~" he winked.
"WHAAAAAAAT?" At this point in time you were freaking out. You exactly weren't sure if Grell was serious but you were beginning to get slightly creeped out.
"But let's just keep this between us girls, kay?~" Grell winked as he skipped out of your office.
You slowly dropped your head onto the desk with a loud THUNK.
You sat at a table by yourself in the lunch room eating a sandwich when you saw William coming towards you causing your eyes to widen.
"Oh god" You muttered as you dropped your gaze onto the floor hoping he would take the hint and sit somewhere else.
"Hello." He said quietly as he sat right beside you. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
You looked up and gave him a sheepish smile. Catching his gaze, you saw Grell staring at the pair of you from across the room. He shoved food into his mouth, not dropping eye contact with you. His mouth slowly curled up into a large smile and he began waving at you frantically causing the other reapers to no doubt give him very strange looks.
You stared at the table hoping William would remain quiet and not attempt to engage you in a conversation.
He coughed quietly. You sighed and turned to face him.
"Yes?" You asked raising an eyebrow.
He opened his mouth in hesitation before he quickly blurted out "Are your legs tired?" giving you a meek smile. You swore you saw Grell silently cheering in the background.
"Have you been running all day?" He asked.
All that unpaid overtime is getting to him, you thought as you carried on eating your sandwich trying to ignore his expectant stare. Poor man.
"Oh no. Sorry, I meant because you've been running through my mind all day long…Y-You get it?" He looked up at you with a nervous smile.
"William, are you feeling okay?" You asked him finally putting your sandwich down onto the table like it meant business.
"Yes. I'm fine, why?" He asked, clearly confused. Grell let out a loud groan in the background and began to stomp over to your table.
"What was that?" He demanded, smacking William's shoulder angrily "You failed miserably, Will! You can't even flirt properly. What are we going to do with you?"
"Explain" You said firmly, not impressed.
"Well you see _____, Will asked me to give him some advice on how to approach you" Grell began "I told him to get you some flowers but of course I knew he'd be too hopeless to go up and give them to you so I said i'd give them to you and say a few words in his place."
"Grell, what exactly did you say?" William asked slowly.
"He told me you had said that you wanted to have babies with me and that you, and I quote, 'Totally dig' me" You told him, finally realizing what was going on. You both turned to glare at Grell who was beginning to look quite scared.
"Well I'm sure that's what he was thinking..." he laughed nervously "Weeeell then, I think my work here is done. I guess I'll be seeing you two love birds later." He babbles quickly as he ran away, almost tripping over his own feet.
"If you would excuse me, I have an idiot to punish." William sighed as he stood up briskly and turned to walk away.
"Wait." You called out suddenly.
He turned to look at you.
"Want to maybe go somewhere… sometime?" You asked shyly.
He smiled warmly at you and nodded slightly "I would love to go somewhere with you sometime."
"Don't be too hard on him, William." You laughed as he began to walk off again.
"I can't make any promises."

I really don't check over my work enough so there are bound to be many mistakes. If you spot any, please let me know so I can correct them~!
William is hopeless with girls so he decides to ask Grell for help.
Not his best idea.
Oh and the stapler incident is based on a true story. Stay safe kids!

Omg Will and his puck up line and grill........ YOU ARE A MAN, MAN!!!!

Yeahhhhhh...pick up lines........seriously?! They aren't really the proper way to a girls heart, and I should know. Instead he should've done some subtle compliments, gezz can't Grell do anything right? Or was he dropped on his head a lot as a baby?
It's not wise to take advice from Grell, is it? Ahahaha if I was trying to ask out someone I would definately steer clear of pickup lines!~
I facepalmed so hard when William blurted the 'pick-up line'. Now I have a red imprint of both my hands on my face.
lol you know you've hit rock bottom when you go to Grell for romantic advice...
Ain't that the truth.
You must be very desperate to ask him for advice in any aspect!~ xD

Yes I flunked my head on my desk because Grell called himself a woman XD

Aaah I hope your head is okay though~! xD
I wouldn't have to worry about my dress being too high...I lovely three piece gentleman's suit; adjusted perfectly to show off my figure, with a knee long bustle overskirt to add a little more feminism to the uniform and a matching ladies top hat with a spiderweb veil and baby's breath and forget-me-not flowers....sigh... oh it's beautiful
I absolutely adore my tall and wide Scottish hips...they're perfect for bearing children and accentuate my pear figure!!
