ESPN analyst Jon Barry says Warriors could "sneak in" playoffs
By Rusty Simmons Jon Barry was born in Oakland, went to De La Salle High-Concord and played for the Warriors in 1995-96 — 20 years after his father, Rick, won an NBA championship here. He gets back to Napa every July to visit his mother, and he's in town to analyze Wednesday's game against Portland. […] [Read More]

Nellie earning some of his $6 million
It turns out that former Warriors coach Don Nelson is working for a portion of the $6 million owed to him as he hangs out in Maui this season. First-year coach Keith Smart said Thursday that he talks to his former coach once or twice a week and regularly texts and e-mails with Nelson. "We're […] [Read More]
Nellie to coach Friday
Don Nelson is going to coach the Warriors on Friday and make the team's three-game road trip starting Saturday despite painful back spasms. He had to skip the shoot-around Friday, a day after he hobbled through practice. Nelson said he has trouble standing, so he probably won't get out of his seat. Those duties will […] [Read More]
Nellie is back … kind of
Don Nelson is back with the Warriors, for the time being. The 69-year-old coach said Thursday night — his first game with the team since being diagnosed with pneumonia Nov. 23 — that he hasn't decided whether he'll accompany the team on its five-game road trip, which begins Monday in Oklahoma City. "I'm up and […] [Read More]

From Janny Hu in Chicago. So out comes Nellie for his post-game interview: "Well, I'm really disappointed. I just don't know if we're going to be able to recover.

I give more-or-less impromptu lectures about 0.3 times per month at Stanford when I'm in town during the academic year. These lectures are open to the public as well as to students and faculty. No tuition is charged, no attendance is taken, no credit is given. Each talk is independent of the others, and pitched at an audience of non-specialists. Sometimes I talk about difficult technical issues, but I try to minimize the jargon and complications by stressing the motivation and the paradigms and the high-level picture, without sweeping the details entirely under the rug.
The next talk in the series may occur during spring quarter.
Great news! Videotapes were made of many past lectures in this series, and the Stanford Center for Professional Development has offered to host a permanent archive of digitized versions, freely viewable from their website. This work is still in progress, but dozens of webcasts are already ready for streaming. Many of these are in fact also available via iTunes!
Here is a reverse-chronological list of all previous lectures in the series. If I subsequently wrote a related paper on the topic, the number of that paper in my list of publications is given in brackets. Links to downloadable source files are also shown when the sources are available. Lectures available online are marked with "***".

Thank you Lord for keeping all the negativity & naysayer attitudes from affecting me and the projects that I do, for you.

The Price of Infertility
Children aren't cheap. A new babe requires a laundry list of material goods and of course, a big dose of love. But for couples dealing with fertility issues, their bills rack up long before the worries of funding college.
Beyond the emotional toll that failed attempts at baby making takes, potential parents have to pay for the possibility to even get pregnant.
A recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., calculated the costs of fertility treatments. To see the findings, read more.
A Reuters article about the findings said:
The cost of giving birth using assisted reproduction technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) exceeds $100,000 when the probability of a live birth falls below 15 percent, suggest results of a new cost analysis.

Figue 15 Candle
Maxwell's Daily Find 01.05.14
Figue 15 Candle
• $70
• Le Labo
This is my current favorite scented candle, and let me say that until a few years ago I stayed FAR AWAY from scented candles. The difference I've learned between the good and the bad is the quality of the ingredients and the true nature of the scent. This one, Figue or Fig, is made by Fabrice Penot, the founder of Le Labo, a boutique perfumerie with stores in NY, Tokyo, London and LA. With the highest quality, this one is "not a straight figue but a figue/black currant blend that makes you want to eat the wax." I'm not sure I would eat it, but I've bought six of these already!
100% soy wax, pure cotton wicks, hand poured, highly dosed with perfume, and weight 245 grs.
102 Comments
What on earth kind of lifestyle/career does one have to have in order to have bought half a dozen $70 candles? I am sure they are nice but considering this site is aimed at people in apartments and homebuyers doing renovations I can't imagine that this is practical to 99% of visitors. There's nothing wrong with a post on quality candles (since I switched to soy, which is usually the same price as a wax retail counterpart, I like candles much better) but I come to apartment therapy to see things I might be able to diy or afford.
Agree, Zelda--$420 on six candles?! I don't think I could bring myself to do that even if I had unlimited funds!
70$! Seriously?! That is more than my electricity, gas and water monthly bills combined.
I would like to know the cost of materials for the candles to figure out the labour cost that would justify a 70$ candle.
Maxwell - so many of your posts are way out of the 99% of us in America's price range. Please, please get back in touch with the readership of this website and come back to reality.
I thought the same thing. I'm a huge fan of fig fragrances. (I'm sooo happy Thymes brought back Fig Leaf and Cassis...though it's not available in a candle.) So I'd love to try this one...but it's way out of my price range. Maybe it will go on sale at some point.
Shoot, for $70, that candle better actively clean the house, pay the bills and take out the cat litter as well as illuminate and smell good. Agree with the other commenters...c'mon son.
$70 is too much to pay for a candle no matter who you are and no matter how good it smells.
For those of us on more "beer budgets".... Bed Bath and Beyond has a line of soy candles with wood wicks that have realistic scents. My current favorite is Redwood, it makes my house smell like a cabin. And with one of their 20% off coupons, I think they are $20 for a really large one.
I like the idea of this candle. One thing that apartment therapy concentrates on is limiting the things in you space with what you absolutely love. One may invest $70 or $420 on a dress or on candles. And although it's true I can not afford this candle at the moment. If I truly love it, I'm going to put it on my dream board, work towards it and buy it.
Have to agree, even in the parallel universe where I live in a two-storey over basement terraced Georgian house with a south facing orchard and pergola, I would never be able to justify spending USD70 on a candle.
Not enough NO in the world for spending $70 on a candle.
I agree with the other comments--$70 for a candle? Love this website, but let's keep things realistic. How about $20 for a whole basket full of candles at Ikea and $50 to a great charity?
Shame on you Maxwell, your finds are really not reflecting the readership's means. All your new magazine gigs must be paying you a mint to be able to afford these.
A quick Google search of fig-scented soy candle brought up at least 10 options under $25 for an 11 oz. candle. I might still balk at that price - guess it's a trip to the Poconos and the American Candle factory for me.
I cannot respect Maxwell's opinions on anything anymore.
Maxwell consistently comes up with the most absurd buys possible. This one made me open my eyes so wide, I can't even say. Apartment Therapy, this is so ridiculous. Please find someone else to write the "what to buy" posts. I'll do it for free if you all are that hard up to find someone who has any sort of common sense.
Also, making soy wax candles with essential oils is one of the easiest things I've ever done. There's a microwave involved, for crying out loud.
$70 for something you have to burn up to use?! Might as well just light 70 bucks on fire and spray some air freshener. This is ridiculously wasteful regardless of your financial situation!!
We actually own one of these candles and it's lasted us 2 years. I am a stay at home Mom, so my family understands the value of a dollar. We splurged on it for a Christmas gift and seriously, the scents are amazing. Ours is Santal 26. We buy less, but buy what we love.
I would never be able to enjoy this. Each time I lit it, assuming I could bring myself to light it, I would feel guilty once again for spending that kind of money on one candle.
No. Just, no.
I don't like scented candles but I've bought them as gifts to friends who enjoy them. I would only spend $70 on a candle if it was part of a wedding present and my friend specified that candle.
Still, it's over the top and I've spend silly amounts of money on bicycle gear so I know over the top spending.
We must be neighbours. LOL.
Quick! Get me their phone number. I must order a case before they run out!
yeah, and i'm not purchasing any luxury goods at Barneys, i might not get out alive.
Maxwell needs to COOL IT. Perhaps apartment therapy needs a new section for finds that are affordable? I'm kind of over Maxwell's flippant luxury recommendations. I majored in theatre, Maxwell. THEATRE.
I liked this site because it had DIY and other interesting one off or hard to source items..but it has become dumb. I can afford $70.00 for a candle, but really this is a can't live without item? For $70.00 bucks I expect a item that is one of a kind or quirky or feeds the homeless at the same time.
Perhaps Maxwell is hoping to sell this site to someone in Dubai?
Oh come on. Does a $70 candle you see at Barney's really count as a 'Find'? This is arrogant, boring, and written for the wrong website.
Perhaps when featuring an item that is clearly overpriced (what ingredients could possibly justify $70 for a candle?) but genuinely recommended, AT could give an alternative or two? I'm sure there are many other nice-smelling, fig-scented soy candles out there.
This wouldn't be so objectionable if there was some sort of acknowledgment that the item is beyond what 99% of us would define as reasonable.
These provocative posts get a lot of hits for the site. As do Ikea posts.
That's why they're here.
I got the Le Labo Fig candle in a canister as a gift one year. The scent is amazing, and it's lasted more than 1 year. But definitely, I would not buy on my own.
If I could get 200 burn hours out of it, $70 wouldn't be the end of the world here, but this is a 65 hour candle. So for me personally it's just not worth it. I'm not offended that it would still be worth it to something else, but as the other comments prove, this isn't a site where those sorts of individuals tend to browse.
Wow. I'm in the wrong business. Makes you think twice about generating intellectual property for owners of this site. Why comment, let your house be photographed, etc? I think the same about FB. Really people...think twice about giving your intellectual property away for people that spend near 500 bucks on candles. They're making fools of us all.
That is a very good point.
I understand there's an aspirational/inspirational element to some of the items (and a payola element too) but it would seem to be more in line with the spirit of the site if there was a few ways of looking at these finds - maybe here's the dreamy version and here's the budget version and here's the super-ultra-more-granola-than-thou version.
Fragrance can be an art, certainly, but that doesn't seem to be the focus here.
That's a good idea, kind of like in some magazines where they have the drugstore and department store versions of makeup products or designer clothes versus their mall store versions. That way, people don't feel so boxed out or pretty much insulted when just the $$$ version is shown and not the $ version too!
UGH!!!! who are all of you to complain? Do you really want to see another painted dresser that went from beat up to painted a bright snappy color? Why does this blog/website have to show you the cheapest thing possible? I would prefer them to bring me the BEST ideas and let me figure it out. What, you cannot read AT and go to Barney's? Isn't that the point of all of this is the whole hi-low idea of mixing? What happens when you are done cramming your 300 square foot apartment with street finds, then what? I think Maxwell does a great job, I for one am BORED with all low budget ideas. This blog used to be about inspiration and elevating the everyday apartment to design greatness. IF you read the post he said that he stays away from most candles(as I do as they smell awful) He has located a special candle that he feels is worth the mention and money. Hasn't any of you purchased a dyptique candle?? Please enough of the whining when this arena doesn't hand everything to you the way you want it. Please stop complaining like you were force fed bleach when someone shares something nice with you. Pretend that it's a special treat or something for you to put on your holiday wish list.
I agree that this would have been much less offensive had it come with a mention of how expensive the item is, rather than "Omg I bought 6 of them!" That genuinely disgusts me and made me pause and consider whether this is a blog I should be following.
Don't follow the blog!!! Maybe he bought them as gifts. All of this speculation about a situation you know nothing about. Is there some vow of poverty that one has to take to read AT? I love the small kitchen segment that showcased really inventive uses of space. What NO ONE was worried about was the cost. When you pour that much design and time into a space it can be like a yacht, very expensive. Really, this poverty drivel has to stop!!!! My response to the posting was, where do I buy one?? Maxwell, maybe you could do a post about caviar to serve at parties and instruct the children how to fly to Russia, fish for themselves, extract the roe and process it and make their own caviar!!! Ridiculous, all of you. Keep on Maxwell... what's next DIY toilet paper? Enough
WyliesDad - I am afraid that you just don't get it.
LOL @WyliesDad. Welcome to the internet, where various people are allowed to express their diverse and personal opinions.
I've never enjoyed the comments on a post more!
I guess what it boils down to is What's AT's mission? It certainly seems that the readership wants inspiration that isn't just aspiration. This candle, while lovely and made with high quality ingredients, doesn't seem to hit the right notes for the majority of readers. I agree with others that Maxwell's picks are often out of reach. Rather than encouraging me to save up, it makes me shake my head. I think a lot of us are willing to pay for quality, but $70 for a candle crossed a line.
Here's a wood alphabet puzzle that'll have you shaking your head (featured on Design*Sponge): http://www.designsponge.com/2013/11/font-alphabet-puzzle.html
Way to miss the point. You do realize that there are waaaaaaaaay more people closer to "poverty" than not? The majority of us literally can't buy a $70 candle.
$70 could build 3 wells in Africa and provide clean water to hundreds of people.
I'm sure the candle smells wonderful. Fig is one of my favorite scents. But, I'm with the majority here. $70 is a little steep for most of us so spend on a candle. There are so many choices out there, so many different brands. I'm sure I could find one I like just as well as the $70 one, and I would pay a lot less for it.
The best thing about this article is all of the witty references to it that have been popping up in the comment sections of other articles. There are some seriously funny people here! I don't mind occasionally reading about expensive, high quality goods, but I think you could better serve your readership by presenting a variety of choices from budget to aspirational. A Good, Better, Best type of feature would appeal to a wider audience. Oh and for the record, my favorite budget candle is the lemon scented one from IKEA.
As as college student I sort have embraced a mindset of "the enemy of art is the absence of limitations" when it comes to creative "interior design" of my tiny dorm room, as well as with my lifestyle here. I grew up in an affluent part of LA, so I've been exposed to ridiculous excess, and I admit to having once treated the pricy Candle Delirium boutique like a candy store for my nose, but I now find it more rewarding to seek out simpler pleasures. I come here for cool things like the clementine candle DIY. To me, a true daily find is one that can be enjoyed by most who find it, and the majority cannot justify a candle that pricy.
Anyhooo. For anyone on a budget and not allowed to actually burn candles (we can't in on-campus housing), I recommend soy clamshell tarts from Etsy stores like Folksome and The Bathing Garden. You're supporting hardworking creative people there instead of tossing your money into pretentiousness. They are more affordable than Scentsy and have unique and pleasing fragrances. You just put one tart into a candle warmer and melt them to release the aroma. The lady who runs Folksome actually has way more scents than what's listed on her page most of the time, and she'll quickly whip up whatever you order and ship it to you quickly with some freebies. My aunt ordered a care package from her for me of my favorite LUSH scents, and they were awesome! She does a lot of "dupes" of perfumes, LUSH scents, and other popular fragrances. The Bathing Garden lady creates art with fragrances with her unique combinations. At the moment she's not actively selling things due to personal reasons (son wounded in combat, I think) but hopefully she'll be up and running again soon. I love tarts from this shop, too. In the spring she had Mad Men inspired scents that were a lot of fun - http://www.kissingboothshop.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1833
I just wanted to share some of my own "finds." :)
$70 for a candle is a bit ridiculous. Sorry, Apartment Therapy, you missed the mark on this post. Stick more to products suited for your target audience.
@WyliesDad in your EFFORTS to show how everyone is a whining BABY you went on and became a whining baby yourself. I hope my capitalization helps to bring MY point across to YOU.
I bought a LeLabo candle in a different scent earlier this year. I liked the fact that you can customize the label with your name or the name of someone else or whatever phrase you want on it. That is, when you order it from their website, not picking it up at Barney's. I thought it would be neat to have "Chateau" and our last name on it.
The candle was very nice but I would not say exceptional enough to warrant the price. We burn candles in a jar frequently and I pick up quality candles online, when One Kings Lane and similar sites have flash sales, for far less.
I bought a small bottle of pure lavender oil recently for around fifteen dollars. I burn a few drops daily in my ( probably outdated!) oil burner. The scent is just heavenly. I just can't justify spending seventy dollars on a product that does basically the same thing as my trusty oil burner. Yes, the candle is beautiful and fig is a sophisticated scent, but there is something very satisfying about the simplicity of a quality single scent. The oil I buy is from Tasmania- the lavender fields there are breathtaking and the quality of the oil is excellent. Just goes to show that people on a budget can enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy without shelling out mega bucks- bear this in mind perhaps Maxwell.
I agree with almost every comment. Seventy dollars for a candle is so far out of most peoples' budgets that it's ridiculous to mention it without offering up some more affordable alternative.
I can't believe people still boast about how money they have/spend. Money may buy expensive candles, but not manners, class, or useful articles.
yeehaw! open a window and air it out a little--like my friend's mom used to say,'go outside, it'll blow the stink off ya!' indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air, thanks to smelly candles, offgassing et al, no matter the cost of what we bring through the door.
all these undies in bundles, xD!
and fierymermaid, it's interesting to note that people boast about what they don't have, too, and that poverty doesn't guarantee manners, class, or useful gadgetry, either.
That's true, too. People who boast about not owning a TV come to mind. It's fine to spend a lot on a candle or to not own a TV. Boasting about such things is a different matter, though.
Hahah, I can't believe I missed this post yesterday. Maxwell's finds at least make me laugh. I'm sure AT brings in seriously good money, but the things he buys and the renovation of his rentals he does sort of makes me wonder if this man has a savings account.
Great idea Beccaroo73!
A most interesting set of comments indeed. I don't think anyone is bemoaning the quality of the candle, but just it's price. It's not the $70, for we spend that much on other non-practical things (fast food, daily Starbucks, the list is endless), but the juxtaposition: $70, candle. $70. Candle. A candle. For a CANDLE! We just see candles as inexpensive items that are burned then tossed away. Yet we spend (at least the guys do) $50-60 for a dozen roses in February, which are thrown away in a week.
Thanks for your posts Mike_in_Hawaii and Indy Jeffrey, thanks for bringing other views to this topic
I find most of the comments depressing... The self-righteous outrage over spending THAT MUCH MONEY on a CANDLE. What's worse is the scorn, which has been showing up on other posts on AT since.
Le Labo is an indie perfume house -- that is, it is not part of one of the big cosmetics houses. It is committed to making individual batches of perfumes (they mix them up for customers) out of the best, high quality ingredients. They are one of the few perfume houses still committed to perfume as a form of art, and not as a way to maximize profit.
High quality ingredients and small batches cost money. As shocking as it seems, $70 for perfume, in this case a room perfume, is not exorbitant, but rather, is typical for candles made with high quality fragrances.
Our sense of smell is the most primal of all our senses, buried deep within the oldest part of our brains. Scents can trigger memories, affect your mood, your hunger... creating beauty and manipulating scent and those effects are part of the art of perfumery. It may seem ephemeral, but the effect is real.
Adding scent to our lives add another layer of richness and texture of experience, and adds to the quality of life.
It may not be your thing, but do not belittle it just because you don't understand it. This candle is as far from a cheap Glade candle you can get.
Me, I'd much rather spend money on this candle then baseball, basketball or hockey tickets. I respect that others feel differently, and so don't belittle their choices. I expect the same respect in return.
The other reason I find these comments totally depressing is that they betray a very rigidly circumscribed notion of what is "practical" (for a start, it's non-sensual) and what is wasteful (paying for beauty and good design). This is why we don't have beautiful cities in North America, why we equate the quantity of food with value, and so forth. And I doubt it will ever change -- at least, not in my lifetime. And that is sad.
I don't think there is anything wrong with people splurging for a $70 and I think it's great for the people that can buy a $70 candle and not think twice about it. My only suggestion was that there be some less expensive alternatives. I'm not speaking solely for AT's readership, I'm saying that the average American can't afford to spend $70 on a candle, no matter how much they would like to, so an alternative would have been nice. I'm sure it's a great candle and worth every penny, even so, it's not in my budget. No need for comments to get nasty.
Woops. Sorry about some of the errors. It has been a long day!
Yes. This is exactly the way that I feel.
Le Labo, like many niche perfume houses, makes luxurious/expensive perfumes and home scents. I tell you they aren't even the most expensive out there. If this post were made for Ikeahack.com, I would expect all the negative feedbacks; but on Apartment Therapy, the amount of hateful response were a bit unexpected, for it has never positioned itself to merely frugal people.
"Because I can afford it" is not a great reason to spend $70 on a candle. You don't have to be "frugal" to object to a $70 candle; you just have to be rational. No one in the world needs a $70 candle as much as they need a $10 candle and a $50 donation to a worthy cause. This level of conspicuous consumption is what gives the 1% a bad name. It's as if a food blog were to write "Sure, you could buy Mcintosh apples for $2.99 a pound, or Honeycrisp apples for $3.99 a pound, but why not indulge yourself and buy Ridicula apples at $75 a pound? I mean, they're bound to be 25 times as good, right? And they're such a pretty shade of red."
Can you please post the guidelines to set us all straight on what is an acceptable price to pay for a candle? Is $20 dollars okay? What about $45? Does $50 go over your line? And maybe you could share the terms of reference and membership of that select committee which has the exclusive right to make those sorts of determinations, while you are at it. It would be most useful for those of us who make such transgressions.
In the country in which I was born, styles of art and various artists were, often on a whim and only by a select elite, labelled as "bourgeois decadence"; perhaps that is a term you would like to dust off?
You're mixing all sorts of misdirected rage and confused analysis into your post...
For example, you're wrong when you write This level of conspicuous consumption is what gives the 1% a bad name. It's not that the top 1% buys $70 candles which makes them reviled (and it is not the 1% who buy $70 candles) -- unless you are jealous and covetous by nature. No, the top 1% own 40% of the world's wealth and resources, while the bottom 50% owns only 1%; that is what gives the top 1% a "bad name".
"Conspicuous consumption" has nothing to do with it. Indeed, they have a reputation for hoarding (and not using) these resources.
Rather, it is the injustice of such a small group owning so many of the world's resources that makes them reviled. What do they do to earn the right to those resources? Why are they so special? In short, they are nothing more than crooks and tricksters that the majority has been tricked into letting off the hook. Why, after provoking a global financial meltdown, did the 99% suffer and pay for the cost of the folly of the 1%, who were bailed out and paid themselves bonuses? THAT is why we should be angry at them, not because they may -- or may not -- buy nice perfumed candles (which is a rather silly line to draw in the sand).
It's high time something was done about the 1%, I agree emphatically with you about that. But scorning those who buy quality products you don't appreciate or can't purchase isn't they way to go about it.
(Hint: try reading Paul Krugman's blog on the NYTimes)

"Can you please post the guidelines to set us all straight on what is an acceptable price to pay for a candle?" -- Yes, I'd be glad to. If something just as good is available for $10 or $20, then $70 is an unacceptable price.
"it is not the 1% who buy $70 candles" -- If people in the middle class are buying $70 candles instead of paying down credit card debt or saving for retirement, that's even worse.
Wow, this one inspired as much outrage as your Justin Whatshisname post. Keep us on our toes, Maxwell!
(Bieber, Justin Bieber)
The only way I could imagine a $70 candle being and investment is if you were trying to sell your home and intended to use the scent to make your home stand out. What would Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman think about a $70 candle even as a gift.
Huh, I'd swear Maxwell already recced these candles a while ago, but it seems like a new post that has garnered lots of new comments (vs. an older entry that was dusted off and reposted, previous comments intact).
Personally, I dislike soy candles and any candles needing a vessel. It just means I'll have one more unwanted glass around. I'm pretty purposeful with my purchases, so "yay, spare glass vessel!" doesn't fly unless it's something I actually want on its own. I haven't bought new candles in a while, but I've been planning to stick with naturally honey-scented beeswax candles.
I'm slightly amused by all the outraged commentators demanding that AT find another contributor for this section. Maxwell is the founder and CEO of AT. I'm quite sure he knows what this site is "about." And yes, he can probably afford the $70 candle.
Apparently, regular candles have wicks made out of the spun whiskers of tortured kittens. That is the only logical reason I can think of for buying this ludicrously expensive, pretty regular-looking candle with "100% cotton wick"...
$70, really? Are you Gwyneth?
Could be wrong, but I assume Maxwell picks his Daily Finds based on samples he receives, advertisers, and the like. If someone gave me six $70 candles, I might give them a shout-out too. No opinion on the exorbitant price, personally, except I'm jealous.
I've often wondered what this site's policy is on items that Maxwell and the staff have received from advertisers as "gifts". Do they disclose that info - I know other blogs that will say "this is a sponsored post by...Frog Tape" or they will explicitly disclose that they don't take any "gifts" from advertisers.
Not sure why this post deserved a "replay"--it appears that pretty much everything that can be said, has already been said.
Oh my word! Here is an amazing much cheaper substitute! This is one of the best candles I have smelled in my life and it is all natural...
Funny to read this 'stink' on this item; I must have missed it when first posted. The cost must really be in the 'figue' / fig aroma ingredient (much like science has developed 'flavors' that can be added to any food.
I'm sure some of the finger wagging cluckers here might have a Coach (or some other high end brand) purse or more shoes than a 4th world country, so if Maxwell is sold on these over any other scented candle, good for him. Btw, no, I"m not a candle user of any price.
I'm all about buying decent quality candles with decent quality scents - in fact I'm picky about scented ones and likely spend a bit more on candles than most of my friends are willing to. That said $70 is way above and beyond. The idea of purchasing six of them is ludicrous.
I agree that $70 is over the top, it is sheer decadence.
The irony to many people's comments is that many people who cannot truly afford to buy one, would do so anyway, on credit. Sure there's the 1% or whatever percent that may be, buying it, but there are many others who would splurge and then wonder why they are in debt, why they cannot get ahead or save money. Unfortunately, this irresponsible and illogical way of spending is the American way now.
Why not just have a "Luxury Find" column and we will know before we read it that it will be something that's not in the mainstream daily budget.
$70 for a candle! I don't care how good it smells.
I was going to say it, but 89 people already have.
So, people will spend $70 a month for cigarettes, or taxis, or perfume, and no one slams them for that. Maxwell introduces a sweet, luxurious, expensive candle, and gets blown away. Candles can make your home special! They are pretty, smell good and put you in a good mood - and, they last for weeks or months. Get happy grumpy people!
I am also confused about the re-posting, but the main point of commenting is about the candle,
A few years ago, A friend stayed with me in Brooklyn for quite a few months while he got settled. As a thank you/birthday gift, he bought me of a Le Labo candles in Santal. I went on their website and saw they had a Figue one. On my actual birthday, I went to their LES store and on a splurge, purchased it. Now, I am not one to go around spending $70 on a candle, but it was my birthday and I was wrapped up in the moment of a fancy NYC experience (for those who don't live here, it can be kind of easy to do). I am definitely not in the 1%, but I am also not someone who lives above their means on credit.
Please note that these candles are a much, MUCH better quality than a candle you can get at Bed Bath and Beyond. Also note you can probably get something almost as good at Whole Foods/Whole Body for 1/3 of the cost. A lot of cheap candles have harmful chemicals in the wax and probably in the wicks - you want to avoid those things.
I do enjoy that the Le Labo website states, "The glass is re-usable as a beautiful pen holder or as something heavy that you can throw at someone you particularly dislike."
hahahhaha they seem to be soulmates indeed!
I am so glad you mentioned the renovation of his rentals (especially the current one). I hope the landlord at least paid for all the materials (In NYC, it can be hard to get a landlord to pay for or fix anything).
Please excuse all of my typos - I'm a terrible editor!
One in a blue moon, I splurge on a really, really good, high quality candle from Anthropologie (illume avocado mint- it's the best!) that costs ......$18
I'm sorry, but it's posts like this that have made my addiction to Apartment Therapy dwindle. Spending $70 on a candle is never okay. I could be a multimillionaire and still laugh at/pity any person spending money like that. Can't we go back to articles that were reasonably budgeted and creative? Sure I like to look at gorgeously decorated apartments, but I like it even better when I can get tips on how to make my apartment look gorgeous without spending money stupidly.
Wasn't this posted a couple of months ago?
Buy less and buy what you love - absolutely! I practice this as well. You have to be willing to do a couple of things for yourself and your home that make you feel good.
My favorite candle is by LAFCO - the Sage & Walnut scent is pure heaven. It's $55 or 60 depending where you shop. I don't make a ton of money but I make it work because it makes me feel good (although I can't afford to buy a bunch all at once). I also buy flowers every week. So shoot me! :)
Amen! I agree with everyone on here that $70 for a candle is just wasteful. I can think of SO many other things that $70 could be used for and candles are not it! There are people starving out there! People have been laid off, jobs have been sequestered, jobs have been eliminated, costs have gone up, gas has gone up, food has gone up. People are suffering. I could NEVER bring myself to spend $70 on a single candle knowing that other people can't put food on their tables or pay their mortgages to keep a roof over their families head. Our economy is too fragile to waste someone's hard earned cash on a candle? No thank you. I'm hoping that $70 was a typo and it was $7?
thank you, that's what i wanted to hear, that it's an investment piece. much more constructive commentary.
No typo, it really is $70.
I just noticed that this is a repost too. AT, why would you think that we would be any happier with a $70 candle than we were 2 months ago?
:) that made me smile because I too have a problem spending more than $12 on a candle. When I do, I feel like I'm splurging BIG TIME. I will have to check that one out at Anthro. Thx for the tip.
Also - I avoid Barneys NY at all costs. I used to shop there before I had kids i.e. when I had disposable income i.e. THE 90s!
Wow folks. I have so much to say about all of this that I wish I had stepped in sooner.
In the interest of being really efficient, let me list my replies:
1. I believe in spending more on some things that are really high quality and last a long time
2. These candles last a long time.
3. yes, it's a splurge. I do splurge every now and then.
4. I write a TON about super affordable things too
5. I have always been committed to the best of BOTH the high and the low, since 2004!
6. Cheap candles, especially scented, I have found to be really bad for the air of a room and very cloying to smell
7. The glass jars of the Le Labo candles are really nice and I use them for my silverware and pencils now :)
How long is "a long time?" A rough estimate. No one will see this response unless they come back and look at the comment section so if it's important to you that your readers see your reply, perhaps dedicate a post to it. I think plenty of people would be interested (obviously). I appreciate the response and would love to be able to spend $70 on a candle (I'm an avid candle burner) but alas it is not in this nanny's budget. Passionate readers, you've got!
Hey Kate,
i saw your comment due to our new response system...
These candles last for over 150 hours (they say), which is about every night for nearly two months. This is pretty much what I've found as well. The more you trim the wick, the better they burn and the longer they last...
That is pretty impressive. I find that I spend $20-25 on candles that burn about 25-30 hours. Maybe a $70 candle IS worth looking into. Thanks for the response!

Add more years to your dog's life, more life to your dog's years! While humans live longer than ever, some breeds of dogs seem to be dying younger. Whether the cause is free radical damage, or hormone imposters synthetic chemicals, today's dogs age prematurely fast. Youthful levels of hormones and other vital compounds decline with age. This is why joints, brain function and cellular activity decline as dogs get older. Scientists measure levels of these biomarkers to test the ability of supplements to return key aspects to youthful levels.
Animal Naturals K9 Young at Heart uses new "life extension" advances with the goal of returning your dog's metabolism to that in its prime. But K9 Young at Heart is not just about helping dogs live longer, it's about living better. Animal Naturals K9 Young at Heart contains nutrients demonstrated in major medical studies to strengthen the biochemical links leading to a better quality of life for older animals.

Customer Reviews
"I would just like to take a minute to thank you for the difference your products have made in my K9. I have an 8 1/2 year old German Shepherd Dog who is an active cadaver search dog. After coming back from working in New Orleans last year, he was very sick. His joints hurt from climbing rubble piles and debris and to compound that, he has hip dysplasia. He also had a torn ligament. I put him on your Young at Heart and the Joint Strong and oh my goodness, what a change! He has done a complete turnaround. He is extremely active, with no joint problems at all. Everyone that has seen him lately cannot believe the change in him from when he was dragging so badly only months ago. His coat is also very shiny, which is nice since he is a black dog."
"I don't know what magic potion Young at Heart contains but I do know that after being on it for a week now, my old Granny who is in her 13th year took me for a walk tonight that I won't easily forget! I could barely keep up with her. I had her on the Flexi Lead and she was going lickety split all over the park as fast as she could go. I wore out long before she did! Do you think it would help me, too? I could use a dose of energy! Just thought I'd share. I'm impressed so far."

Since January 2006, the city had pursued an idea to create a swim center on a 16-acre plot of land within the Ellis development — at the northeast corner of the project on Corral Hollow Road north of Linne Road. That plan was stalled by the recession, according to Mayor Brent Ives, who was on the City Council in 2006.
"We looked at the cost of operation and about the time we were getting into that, the economy turned," Ives said. "So we began looking for more cost-effective means by which to provide the same things."
The present council, including Mayor Pro Tem Michael Maciel and Councilwoman Nancy Young, is still wrestling with the economic realities that began years ago.
"I think it's important to realize that this has always been tied to the Ellis development," Maciel said in an interview Monday. "When the market goes flat and there's no development, there's not going to be an aquatic center until there is development."
Without that development, the council and city staff began looking for alternatives. During the Sept. 17 meeting of the council, Wild Rivers Irvine LLC came forward and expressed interest in building a for-profit water park on the Ellis land previously considered for the public center.
"What Wild Rivers is saying is that they think they can operate this thing in the black," Maciel said of the amusement park's proposal.
Young wants to make sure some of the needs expressed by the Tracy Tomorrow and Beyond task force are met by Wild Rivers.
"I've asked several times if there will be a separate community pool as part of that complex," Young said Monday, "where people could get in for lesser prices than more of an attraction-type place."
Both Maciel and Ives see the potential of allowing Wild Rivers to build in Ellis, which they said would free up city money to fix Joe Wilson Pool in Dr. Powers Park and make Pinkie Phillips Aquatic Center at West High a better venue for swim competitions. The city has an agreement with Tracy Unified School District to use that pool for recreation and swim club practices when it is not in use by the school.
"It's more economical — if you were just looking
in terms of dollars and cents — to throw some money at the West High pool and make it what we want," Ives said, "renegotiate our use agreement with them. That would be the competitive pool. Fix Joe Wilson Pool and that would be the recreation pool, and let Wild Rivers do their thing. In essence, everyone would get what they want and it would be smaller capital outlay."
Maciel said he had heard from the competitive swim community that the pool at West High was unsuitable for hosting competitions.
"It works, but there's things you can do to make it work better, which would require some investment and control of the site," he said.
Talks to see if TUSD would even be willing to renegotiate the agreement and give more control to the city are underway now.
"The wild card here is TUSD. So what I've asked staff to do is begin those discussions now," Ives said.
But those talks might not turn into a good solution for Tracy's swim clubs.
"The likelihood of that idea happening is not very high," Ives said, "I think (community members) have the same concerns we do: The school district's not going to give up control. They've not performed well on the use agreement we have now."
TUSD spokesman Joel Danoy said the district was unaware of any outstanding issues related to the management of Pinkie Phillips Aquatic Center. He said that district employees met with city staff members at least once a month to discuss the pool and that any issues from those meetings had been solved or were in the process of being solved.
If talks with TUSD don't result in a change in the status quo, the mayor said there might be another option.
"Then swing your cannons over to Wild Rivers and see if they can't remove their 25-meter recreation pool and let us supplement them for a 50-meter competitive pool there," Ives said. He added that he envisioned the competition pool being run by the city, separate from Wild Rivers.
All three council members believe the outcome for city residents must involve multiple sites.
"I don't know that it will ever be the perfect medium that will meet everybody's satisfaction. I don't believe the work that the Tracy Tomorrow and Beyond people did was in vain at all," Young said. "No matter what we come up with, it has highlighted that an aquatics center is needed and desired by the city of Tracy residents."
Calls to councilmen Robert Rickman and Charles Manne for comment were not returned by press time.

Bottom Line:
The best thing about boutique parts is that they go out of style for the next flavor-of-the-month, so the price drops faster than me on my dualie. Got these babies for $20 and slapped em on my ss to give me another inch or so in the front.
My ss goes pretty much everywere my hardtails and dualie go (with the exception of those scary places at Snowshoe- the're reserved for the dualie.) On a completely unsuspended bike ruding technical terrain, they have as much bump absorption as my azonic flats, but never seem limp or hinder the control of the bike. I may just do away with the azonic risers on the dualie and get another set of these.
Five blazing pineal glands for a good product at a realistic price.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 2.1 out of 5�by 18 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Wandy Not really adequate obtain any sense of putting feel. The ball return is adequate but the mat fails to give real sense of any type of putting roll.The turf used is too bumpy due to rolls that seem not to flatten out even after a 2 week period of laid out flat.Also the turf is too inconsistent in areas causing the ball to roll to the left so the alignment marking on the mat is useless. February 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by 3putt Cheap product Ball return is unreliable and will stop working properly in under 100 returns. Don't waste your money very cheap. January 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by MOMO Electric has problem It`s good for First day from second day kickback system(electric) was gone. I should buy more expensive one. November 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by JJ Took it back to the store Grass was poorly installed so the ball wouldn't drop down into the return chute. After leaving in the sun for several hours wrinkles from folding still would not relax out and leaving on floor over night still didn't flatten out the grass. October 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by akbear54 Putting Mat. Good product. I have enjoyed using it. One issue is when first purchased, the mat has some serious creases from being wrapped in a box. Took a couple of days lying upside down and the creases almost disappeared. I use the small creases as hazards on the putting green which improves my putt. October 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jp just what I was looking for I am looking to improve my putting for my golf game. This product was perfect for my needs. October 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Josh The worst putting practice aid you can buy. WASTE OF MONEY I got this for my birthday and was so excited to try it out, but quickly learned how much of a waste it was. The "green" is a cheap rug and the rest is flimsy plastic. You have to plug it in, and the ball return is awful. It worked well the first 40 putts or so (except for shooting the ball really fast and hard) but then it just quit, it hardly works on its own and it hurts your hand to fix it. This is the second day I've had it and it is already breaking down. I told my parents that it was way to junky for $50. The box may look nice, but inside is a piece of JUNK! DO NOT BUY!! September 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Mike7540 Junk... Do not buy As others have stated, this is a piece of junk. The carpet is very cheap and has several wrinkles that will not come out. One end of the carpet looks like it was super glued to the plastic base and it was starting to pull away.. Bottom line, do not buy... There are much better options. I wish I could have given zero stars! August 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by birdfox cheap everthing You get what you pay for. The carpet is wrinkled and made from a very cheap material, the balls gets stuck in the hole. And the ball ejector shoots the ball out all over the place. I would never buy this item again. June 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Puttbad Putting practice kit I had to return it. That's how bad it was. The carpet was glued to the base off allignment making the hole smaller and blocking the balls from entering return channel. It was a case of very shabby workmanship and non-existent quality control.

My class had to read this novel, and none of us liked it. It's hard getting used to the style of writing. The main character is really opinionated, and at times I felt offended. I know, he's autistic, but I still felt that way. If you find it interesting to read a very different style, try it. I don't recommend this book to anyone otherwise.

At fifteen years old, narrator Christopher Boone may be pushing the boundaries of childhood. But Christopher is also autistic, which means he's even more socially awkward and emotionally distant than the average kid on the verge of adolescence. Christopher screams when he's touched, refuses to eat brown or yellow foods, and takes everything at its face value. But he also copes extremely well (usually by doing math problems to relax) and when he is falsely accused of murdering his neighbor's dog, Christopher's supposed disability proves to be the best deductive tool of all. Armed with his innate (and at times obsessive) sense of logic, Christopher writes a book in order to solve the case. The result is a sparkling clear account of Christopher's life, from his parents' failed marriage to his own compulsions to the mysteries of his neighborhood to real insights into this boy's unusual and unique view of the world. Christopher may not be able to understand anyone else's emotions, but readers will feel very strongly about this truly authentic, even ground-breaking child narrator and his story.

The Oles participated in their third outdoor meet of the spring on Saturday, as they finished eighth out of 11 teams the Wartburg College Invitational in Waverly, Iowa.
Stacy Griffin '07, who was the lone Ole woman to participate in the 2006 MIAC Indoor Track and Field Championships (held March 10-11 in Tostrud Center), led St. Olaf in the field events. Griffin took third in the shot put, sixth in the hammer throw and 7th in the discus. The junior accounted for 12 of St. Olaf's 49 total points on the day.
The Oles' Elizabeth Ghandour '06, who narrowly missed qualifying for indoor nationals this winter, had a pole vault of 3.39 meters for second in the event.
Over Spring Break, the Ole women competed in a pair of meets at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., the Emory Invite on March 25 and the Emory Classic on April 1.
St. Olaf competes next on Thursday at Carleton. They host the Manitou Classic on April 22.

-- Robert Preidt
FRIDAY, Jan. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Personal motivation plays a
major role in how quickly a person returns to work after a total
knee replacement, new research has found.
A study that involved 162 people who had full- or part-time jobs
or were self-employed found that the median time it took people to
go back to their job after a total knee replacement was 8.9
"Although the physical demands of a patient's job certainly have some influence on their ability to return to work following a primary total knee replacement, the patient's characteristics, particularly motivation, play a more important role," study author Joseph F. Styron, of Case Western Reserve University, said in news release from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
People's motivation to return to work, he added, may be affected
by a combination of factors, including the value they place on work
and their commitment to their job.
He urged doctors to take personal motivation into account when
advising patients before knee surgery and during recovery.
"It appears that properly managed, highly motivated patients are capable of returning to work even in physically demanding jobs," Styron said. "The implications for advising patients preoperatively are clear: They should be told that returning to work depends more on the patient than his or her type of job."
Other factors that predicted an earlier return to work after
knee replacement included:
The study findings were published in the Jan. 5 issue of the
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery.

Kris Kehr Plays to Packed Crowd on Halloween
Posted by Ryan Chase on 11/05 at 03:24 PM
Singing about everything from heartache to sprawling sea voyages, Kris Kehr went solo, rose above the relative festivity of Halloween night, and captured the attention of everyone at Zeno's.
The bar was packed. Skeletons, chickens, zombies, and Avatar characters watched from bar stools and tables. Bartenders frantically fluttered from side to side pouring drinks and cracking open bottle tops. I settled in behind Snookie from the Jersey Shore and adjusted my costume. Scanning the crowd, Kehr was clearly amused. At times, he valiantly struggled to suppress his laughter.
Before the show, the crowd was predictably loud and rowdy. However, once Kehr spoke into the microphone—revealing a tough, husky voice—the noise ceased and Kehr began. He started off with "The Highway," a catchy, pop/country mash-up that effectively set the tone for the rest of the evening.
The next song, "I've Been All Around This World," followed in the same vein as the previous number. This marked a reoccurring motif in Kehr's set. At first, it was fresh and vibrant, but as he progressed, the songs began to run together. The music wore out its charm and became a bit stale. The show picked up towards the end, however, as faster and more varied songs entered the rotation. These included such numbers as "Endless Rain." But by then the crowd was drunk and phasing out the attention they once focused on Kehr.
After an hour and half, Kehr wished the audience a good night and left with a smile on his lips while navigating through the masquerade. Snookie slapped him lucidly on the back as he walked past.
It was a good show overall. Kris Kehr is not a showman, by any means. Nor is he a shut-in who refuses to interact with the crowd. More than anything, he is a musician focused on his music and is worth the listen.
Kris Kehr returns to Zeno's Sunday, November 7th at 9pm.

Some very good listening material, although a bit long in parts. Some good history too.
