Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
I came in expecting to get some sweet knowledge that would help boost me along and be smarter about my artwork, but instead I got some utterly astounding knowledge that I can tell is going to immensely benefit my entire career in art. This class had some totally invaluable information, particularly the section on transitioning from student to professional. It presents some great ideas that really help get your mind set in the right place, I would definitely recommend checking it out on demand!
Huge thanks to Jason and all the phenomenal instructors that were there who put this together! I couldn't possibly imagine a better way to spend a Saturday.
Time to draw!
it was a great experience, thanks for letting it free !
it re-guided to the right track
thousands of thanks

aww man can't belive i forgot about it ...now watching the pre recorded
It was awesome! Thanks again for everything, guys!
To everyone who didn't make it on time: go watch it O-D if you haven't seen it yet~
I would like to thank all involved for donating their time. The advice given was terrific and I would even go as far to say that some points will be career, possibly life-changing. Thanks doubly for personally answering my question. To know that so many established and accomplished artists suffer from the same self-doubt in the course of their career is an eye-opener.
Thanks also to Noah Bradley for recommending "Art & Fear". It's already in my basket at Amazon.
I'm now seriously considering enrolling at VLP. This workshop has really whet my appetite.
Guys and Gals,
Thank you all for sitting through our presentation. I am posting links to the sites mentioned during the talk for those of you who are interested.
See you all somewhere down the line!

Thanks to everyone for doing this, I havent even started watching the OnDemand yet but just loading it up and looking at the Instructor list.
It really amazes that you can be in contact with and get teaching from such an amazing selection of artists. It really does make me appreciate the wonders of whats going on with TAD, VLP and Illustration academy.
Amazing, it really is.
Thanks to everyone who makes this stuff happen, even if I dont get to see any of it. Its amazing that you guys can do this and help people in such an amazing way.
Keep up the amazing work.

Okay, so let me get this straight. I just downloaded Elluminate Live a while ago and noticed it's entirely in audio and did see a Closed Captioning option in one menu but the source is not available. I don't see any video except for slideshow clips in still frames.
What you have is nice but I have struggled to understand what they were saying even though closed captioning is'nt available :/. The sound quality is good when using a headphone but when I try to adjust my hearing aid, I tend to miss out on other things time to time and that can be very frustrating to me.
Would love to see the complete Image Process document. What I've read from screen caps has some great tips.Guys and Gals,
Thank you all for sitting through our presentation. I am posting links to the sites mentioned during the talk for those of you who are interested. I'll see if I can find a way to get a link to the Illustration Academy image making Process document as well.
See you all somewhere down the line!
The workshop (Taste of TAD) went well today! We had over 300 in the room at one time, this was a first. Although we experienced some technical issues because of the size of the class, the technology still served the class well. The technology did not hinder the superb content.
It is also a first that this is going to be a regular (monthly event) on the VLP site! This will give the subscribers the opportunity to communicate verbally at real time with the faculty and others subscribers. The VLP subscriber will benefit not only by the monthly classes, but also from the additional instructors that are lending their involvement to the site!
I thank everyone involved with todays class and a special welcome to Brad Rigney and Marshall Vandruff!
Great fun,
thanks guys! it was awesome to take part in the livestreaming

I have a problem with watching on demand: It refuses to download all the way and Elluminate Live gives me an incomplete download+inconsistent timestamp error. I can only watch up to the 44 minute mark.
I had a great time during the class. There was a lot of good dialogue to absorb plenty of information from. I was already interested in the VLP, but I think this put me over the fence. Kind of intimidating to think of showing my art in the VLP forums, as I don't think it is at that high of a level, but that probably means I'd just have more to gain.
This is the msg I get everytime I try and use the link at the top of the thread:
Service Temporarily Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Any ideas why? Can I access it later or is there a problem?
Finally got all the way through but at the end it says unable to open URL when I'm in the Elluminate screen at the ending.. says unable to open URL and unable to open audio recording.. blah.
Thank you for the interest in our program, I am glad you found todays class informative!
Todays class had a lot of information on making the leap from student to professional. The first step is to stop viewing yourself as a student and put yourself in the company of professionals. Only compare your work to the work that is being publish in the industry.
The VLP is loaded with driven students and professionals that are trying to grow and learn. The moderators in todays class all frequent the forums with more participants on the way. As I mentioned in the class we focus on the positive when delivery crits and offer solutions.
In addition to the forums there is a library of 34 demonstrations with 16 more soon to be added. The many of the new videos focusing on concept art and the entertainment art field. Also, the site is populated with like minded individuals that focus on pursuing picture making. The VLP is a friendly community which makes it easy to communicate and form relationships.
Thanks again for the interest and hope to see you on the site!
I keep getting this message too...is there something we need to do additionally? I'm on a mac if that makes any difference
thanks so much!

Great! Will try to join every saturday, if not I'll watch after the event.
Where do I watch it online??
When I click this link that's been shared in the first post, it only asks me to open a file and when i do, "Java web start 1.2" appears... then disappears and no video or anything starts up ;~;
Can anyone help me, telling where am I going wrong?

aaaugh! I can't believe I forgot about it!
can someone PLEASE tell me how to watch this on demand? A link or something would be great because I'm trying to find it but don't know where to look. someone please show me where i can watch it!!!!
I've just watched this on-demand, and would like to say thank you to everyone involved, it really makes me feel bad that i won't be able to start in TAD before January. It's going to be a long wait!
Just watched the on demand. Some great insights in there, and what a lineup of speakers!
Thanks for putting it together, look forward to meeting you guys at the workshop!
That was such a great inspiring class. I signed up straight away to the VLP which looks like it's going to be a great tool for getting my scholarship application for TAD next year (January). I'll be using it to get critiques from the likes of George Pratt and John English as well as Sterling.. man there are so many artists in there willing to dole out info. I'm almost afraid to post!
Thanks again to all involved. If you haven't watched it already get on it now and for one thing see how differently you will approach the work flow of every piece you work at from now on!
Hi guys. I have a technical question too. When I try to open the java application, it tells me there's a error. Something about malformurl link error, security exception thingamajigy. Any idea what that is?
Thanks for doing this series! Great lineup, inspiring stuff! (And a really excellent deal for those of us on a budget...)
The first one was eye-opening and fun, in spite of the video incident... I picked up much new food for thought (and got confirmation that I'm doing at least a couple things right. Yay.) Definitely going to try to catch the next ones, live or on demand.
Now to check out those links...
I think it's great that the Elluminate Live audio streaming is useful for many people on this site as an educational forum to learn new things and attain feedback. I would hope that they can fix the closed captioning tool because it was not streamed because I'm hard of hearing. I know it's there but it was'nt utilized. I would say that closed captioning should be already recorded and not wiped out after the live session.
You guys are awesome
Looks like I'm not the only one having issues with the on-demand option. Some clarification here would be great...

'Father of 401k' disowns it
The man credited with creating the employee retirement savings plan evaluates the concept 30 years later. Would he do it again?
Ted Benna, who three decades ago seized on an IRS loophole to transform American retirement savings, says he's proud to be "father of the 401k." He also thinks he created a monster.
The plans, which he intended to be as simple for employees as pensions, now offer too many investing options and too many opportunities to make mistakes, he says. "I would blow up the system and restart with something totally different," he told SmartMoney. "Blowing up the existing structures is the only way we can simplify them."
In 1978, when Congress passed the section of IRS code for which the plans are named, lawmakers aimed to limit the scope of cash-deferred plans being offered by some companies, but had no intent to revolutionize retirement. Benna, then the co-owner of the Johnson Companies, a benefits consultancy in suburban Philadelphia, was developing such a plan for a bank client when he happened on the idea that section 401k could allow an entirely new option.
The original 401k plans "could be explained to employees in just a minute," Benna, now 69 and semiretired himself, says. "There were two options, a guaranteed fund and an equity fund," he says. "With the guaranteed investment fund, we'd tell them this is what you will have when you retire. With the equity fund -- which was usually something like the Fidelity Magellan fund -- we'd say, you might have more, but you might have less. Most people would split their contributions 50-50 between the two."
Plans became too complicated
As the plans were embraced by employers and financial institutions, Benna says 401k's were made so complex one needed to be an investing pro to make sense of them. "Now this monster is out of control. We went to three options, then to six, then to seven, then to 15 -- it is far beyond what most participants were able to deal with," Benna says. "And I am not convinced we have added value by getting more complicated."
Better education was supposed to be the solution to intricacies of the plans, Benna says. If employees understood the options, the power of compound interest and dollar-cost averaging, and the advantages of making pretax contributions, it was believed they would do the right thing. "We're throwing tons of money away trying to teach participants how to become skilled investors -- we said, we are going to make people smart and savvy enough to make the right investment decisions, but it just hasn't worked." Post continues below.
Benna blames the newfound complexity on what he says was the small percentage of employees who wanted it. "What triggered this whole mess is that some of the more sophisticated participants were a pain in the butt," he says. "You'd have these troublemaker loudmouths push human resources, and say, 'Why don't we have this "flavor of the month" fund?'" These sophisticated employees are also the ones taking advantage of the education and advice being offered, he says.
Overwhelmed, employees made mistakes
The consequence of all the complexity is twofold, he says. First, employees felt they could be more active investors. "There is too strong a potential for employees to do the worst thing ever, which is moving in the wrong direction, panicking when things are bad and cashing out after they have been battered." Secondly, the current plans induce "a kind of gridlock -- employees get so overwhelmed they do not participate -- they do nothing," he says.
Education didn't work to stop employees from sabotaging their own futures, he contends, but legislation might. "We need a legislative mandate that when you change jobs, the money needs to be retained in a retirement account -- there cannot be an option of 'here's a check, you decide,'" Benna says. He also advocates mandating all employees be auto-enrolled in the plans, and that their contributions be automatically increased one percentage point per year to a maximum of 10% to 15%.
Despite these misgivings, Benna insists the plans are benefiting millions of employees. He gets rankled whenever someone suggests the workforce would be better off had the 401k never been born, noting that the pension system was more fraught that many remember. "I am not anti-defined-benefit plan -- in fact I sold them for decades -- they are great, but only for those who stay with the same company for 20 or 30 years."
More on SmartMoney and MSN Money:
There are 70 people who have given this a THUMBS UP and 5 a THUMBS DOWN. This is all factual information. Who are these 5 uninformed people? I will bet you none of these people prepare their own tax return as I do; or know the laws about retirement accounts as I do. I challange them to respond!
I went to work out of college in 1973 for a company that had what they described as a (Cadillac Pension). In 1990, the company decided to dissolve the plan and go to a 401K. For my 17 years of accrued benefits, I received $15,836 which I rolled over into the new 401K plan. I was 39 and therefore received this small paltry sum, as the older people ended up with the bulk of the money. The company kept over $500K of money in the plan and did not distribute it to the employees. Instead the money was shown as income that year to falsify the real earnings of the company.
I contributed every year the IRA was available starting in 1975 when you could put in a maximum of $1,500 per year.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986, changed the deductibility of an IRA if you were a participant in a defined benefit plan. You could not deduct a traditional IRA before tax but after tax if you were single and earned more than $35K and $50K for married a year. The problem with this scenario was it was assumed you would be at your employer for a long period of time and have this defined benefit "Pension" at retirement. From 1987 until this law was revamped I did not contribute to an IRA because it was not deductible. Roth IRA's were started in 1998 and I then started putting money in Roth IRAs.
The problem was the assumption by our legislators that if you were in a defined benefit plan (Pension), you would receive this monthly income. Corporate America took this benefit away and now give this money to Corporate Heads in big salaries, stock options and grants and bonuses.
This was the greatest "RIP OFF" allowed by the Washington, D.C. Politian. Of course they still have their lavish pension that allows them to draw $55K per year after 20 years of service at age 55. This needs to change to a 401K. They would then be in the same boat the rest of us are in with the market swings!
Tell that to Lockheed Martin , Daimler Chrysler, Boeing and of course the winner of all the no bid contracts for rebuilding Iraq , Halliburton. Not to mention GE , Bank of America and Verizon who not only paid no taxes last year, but got millions back from the government. I'd say getting millions in subsidies qualifies as "rich".
401K retirement plans: great idea, lousy execution.
The benefit of these things is totally dependent on the quality of the person who sets up the plan. I just received my quarterly statement; I would have done better just throwing all my contributions in the trash, and my money was in funds that had the best returns of all my options. Our plan doesn't even have a cash-value option (simple savings).
The right fix for 401k plans is to allow the employee once a year to do a full or partial rollover to a self-directed IRA!!!
The real problem is never mentioned in this article. A 401k plan alone will never fund an indiviuals retirement. Very few people have ever made enough money in a 401k plan to actually retire on a 401k plan alone. The average employee, over a 30 year career, has 200,000 dollars in their 401k plan. Thats using numbers from history. With the stock market hits of the past decade I'd say most 401k plans are less than 200,000 over a 30 year career. So the real crime is that Ted Benna's 401k plan was sold to workers as their savior and companies got rid of their defined benefit pension plans. Today workers now realize that if all they have is a 401k plan then they will never retire. However it's late in the game. Companies have taken away defined pensions, the only real retirement plan, and workers now realize they will likely never retire. At best a 401k plan supplements a defined pension. It should have never been seen as or implemented as a replacement for a defined pension. The American dream is dead! The Idea of putting in a good 20, or 30 years of hard work and having it rewarded with a modest retirement is dead! The dream of owning your own home, free and clear of a mortgage, is dead! Politicians on the right want to destroy retirements further but in fact retirements started being destroyed decades ago. What we have seen over the years and are seeing today is the killing of the american dream. It's a good title for a book: The Killing Of The American Dream!. Good Day, Joe.
People will never get their house in order. Young people don't think they need healthcare then it's to late. People want more so they take risk, then it's to late. People say it's not my fault that other people don't have their house in order, but then the economy falls apart because people didn't have their house in order, then it's to late. Wake up people you are your brother keeper because if you are not the house will fall in on you, then it's to late. Let the government do its job and oversee unfair practice and provide security for all, not promote con men that prey on the innocent and naive, so it will not be to late. Get rid of bums in congress and elect people that believe in government and work to make it work.
The only way to be sure you will have money when you retire is to be in total control of the money throughout your life. If everyone set aside 10% of his after tax paycheck in his retirement kitty, he would end up with plenty of money when he retired. Anyone can live on 90% of a paycheck. Defined benefit plans can go up in smoke when the company does. Roth's, 401-k's, etc. force you to deal with the standard investing vehicles. If you truly own and control the money, you can buy anything you want.....land, gold, diamonds, stocks, bonds, art, part of a private business, start your own business. etc.. Sure there are risks, but the one risk you do not have is that someone else will screw up the process for you. If you dream like Socialists and think that there is some rich company, government, or union out there who will support you in grand style, good luck. You are watching daily what that grand hope brings the world. The only person who cares about you is you. Get in total control.
Every week couple billion dollars from 401k accounts feed into stock markets. Move these monies around from one joint to another to get commission alone giving these bankers plenty of bonus each year. We have many billionairs and millionairs today because of that steady stream of monies are coming in regularly and predictably.
If you want to take advantage of this 401k think like bankers or traders do. Contribute to Roth IRA first. Max that out. That's only money that will make you rich. But you have to trade regularly...riding the wave of stock market up and down. Stock market is not an investment. You don't buy a stock and sit back and sell it when you about to retire. It is a gambling house but the outcome is better than a casino if you follow news and read what these traders are doing.
The 401k if you chose to contribute put it all in bond fund. Bonds are much stable for something you can not move in and out quickly. It will give you benefit of tax deduction and company match if they match yours.
If everybody do this with their 401k account no way that bankers and financial institutions can pick our pockets so deeply.

Brewed my 2nd all grain batch last weekend & the o.g came out low again. What could be causing this? I'm following the directions on the recipe exactly
Could be alot of things causing low extract efficiency. Tell us all about your system and process. BIAB? Batch/fly sparge? Do you mashout? How hot is your sparge water? Are you boiling off less than the recipe calls for? How far short of the OG are you coming up??
When I first went to all-grain, I had the same problem. I would always hit below my estimated pre-boil gravity. For me, it turned out to be dough balls. I had no idea how much you had to beat the grain to get rid of dough balls and Beersmith doesn't give you that info in the directions. If you are using a brewing software, and everything else is going according to plan, I would start with making absolutely sure there aren't any dough balls when mashing in.
My process is to add my strike water to my mash tun. Then in three equal additions, I add my grain, mixing the grain into the water thoroughly before adding the next addition. This has fixed my problem. I used to heat my strike water a couple of extra degrees over what my software suggested to make sure I had plenty of time to mix in the grain but now that I'm better at it I don't do this.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Andy Perfect These bras are great - very supportive and high quality. Fun colors too. September 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by MMruns Good sports bra but beware......... Seems to run small. I'm usually a small in this type of item (32A in a bra) but this was too small and too tight to be comfortable. I had to return the item but would get it again in a larger size. I actually tried on my daughter's medium and it's better but still not great. I suppose it would do a great job of being supportive for someone who needs that kind of support. I really like the look and style, though, so I'll likely purchase the medium. September 15, 2014

Casey Anthony's Parents Tainting Jury Pool?
The Anthonys have made so many appearances on television they're getting to be quite the seasoned performers. Today, the grandparents of Caylee Anthony showed up on CBS's "The Early Show" to once again trumpet the innocence of their daughter Casey, accused of murdering her toddler.
This time we got to see "the softer" side of Cindy -- a stark contrast to her combative performance in last week's deposition in the defamation suit filed by Zanaida Gonzalez, the woman with the same name as Casey's fictitious nanny. And this startling admission: Casey was the primary caregiver of Caylee. Suddenly, Cindy, who admitted to coworkers that she considered getting custody of her granddaughter, now says "She's only the grandmother" and that her partying, thieving daughter was in "charge" of caring for little Caylee.
This bit of (mis)information is surely being spoon-fed to the public to dispel Casey's motive for murder: Casey had a deep-seated hatred and jealousy of her mother's attention on her daughter. Witnesses, all former friends of Casey's, paint a contentious relationship between the pair. And then, of course, there's the choking incident -- the reported final fight between the mother/daughter duo the day before Caylee was never seen again.
Still, George and Cindy continue to beat the "reasonable doubt" drum.
When asked if Casey would take a plea deal to avoid the chair, both George and Cindy said no. "I don't think Casey will take a plea deal," said Cindy. "Casey is not going to admit for something she hasn't done. We love our daughter. We stand behind her. We know what kind of mother she was."
So do we. The kind of mom who doesn't report her kid missing for 31 days and enters a "Hot Body Contest."
Why do you think the Anthonys keep showing up on television?
Listen to an excerpt from the Lt. Tammy Unser interview
discussing Casey Anthony's demeanor at the jail when she is informed
her daughter's remains had been found:

|Casey Anthony Evidence
They blab about a fair trial, but look what they do, what do you think they are trying to do? Ha, they are running scared, you can see the fear in their lying eyes now big time. They know Casey is guilty, have for a long time now. I dont feel sorry for them, its past denial…there daughter will hang for this, with the evidence against her, they should just shut up, if they did maybe Casey would come forward with the truth…besides that, who said, she gets a plea deal anyway?
Its obvious that Casey did this, hello wake up redmum where you been? She will be convicted, the Ants even know she did it, ha. Liars the Ants, I think its going to be real funny when the trial gets here to watch the Ants lie on the stand. Lie, Lie, Lie one after another, where do you think Casey learned this kind of stuff from? Cindy is the answer…The defense is grasping at straws, they have nothing…The Ants claimed they knew who had Caylee back in the beginning, where are they, where is the proof, why didn't they ever go after them? No, instead they hired a private detective scum butt to go move the body…that's what they did, and the cops know it. They should be prosecuted for their covering up, and they will in the end….
Redmum, if you are so sick of it, why are you here on this site? If you were so sick like to claim, you would be doing something else. Sounds like you are a liar, just the the Ants.
Aye why should you feel sorry for grandparents who have lost their grandchild in the most vicious and cruel way, why should you feel sorry that it is their own flesh and blood that is standing trial for the murder.
Yeah absolutely there is nothing there at all to be compassionate about… Nothing at all, after all a witch hunt is more .
Here's hoping all you people throwing stones never ever have some circumstances occur where people throw stones at you and despite the witch hunt I sincerely believe that.
LOL at connie, have I said anything about whether she did or didn't do it, no I didn't, I haven't either defended or attacked her (unlike yourself)I said I would leave it to the courts. I will say no to your kangaroo court thanks.
Connie you know nothing about me, thank God, as I know nothing about you, other than you seem to be pretty full of hate.
And darling I am no liar :) and I will go to whatever site I like and comment as I like. I'm not sure what else you were saying as it doesn't make sense to me.
I just watched the Today Show and Maggie was still interviewing George and Cindy. It's interesting that when Maggie asked about what Casey was like growing up, George and Cindy went on and on about how she was so sensitive and learned to read at an early age and was such a wonderful daughter. When asked to describe Caylee, George said he didn't have enough time and Cindy said Caylee's goal was to make them laugh and told about how when she had a bad day Caylee would kiss her and say she loved her. Again, when George and Cindy talk about Casey, it is all about what a wonderful person Casey is. When they talk about Caylee, it is all about how Caylee's "job" was to make them feel better. That says it all. Maggie ended the interview by saying Casey spends her days in jail reading law books and waiting for the day when she is acquitted. The sociopath actually thinks she is going to get away with murder. What nerve.
Nobody is going to set the daughter Casey the killer of little Caylee free…DEAL WITH IT…and shut up Ants. Its past denial I don't feel sorry for them now, I did in the beginning, but not anymore. We have all had stones thrown at us, its called life redmum…I would never be in this situation, I didn't raise my children like Cindy did sorry, I taught them that they are responsible for their on actions., unlike the Ants. And if, I was in the Ants situation now, I would NOT be doing what they are doing. Redmum dosn't know what a witch hunt is, this is not one!!!
Redmum, this forum is set up to voice our opinions about the Caylee Anthony case. If it upsets you to read what we say, I would suggest you not read the blogs and just wait for the trial and watch it. It makes me wonder why you care what we say. Are you a member or friend of the Anthony family or hired by the defense team to create reasonable doubt on blogs?
Everybody knows their is going to be a trial Redmum, I have the right to my opinion, and you have yours, don't tell others they don't have the right to follow this story (just like yourself). If you are so sick of it, why are you here? I hate child killers, yes I do!!! In my opinion Casey is guilty. Leave it to the courts redmum, and if you are sick of others opinions on the case, then stay away from the internet. Just a suggestion. If you are saying no, to this court of opinion then why are you still here? Sounds like a lie to me.
Redmum is confused, calls me someone full of hate, then in the next sentence calls me darling. In my opinion, I believe Casey is guilty of this murder,of course, that could change if anything comes out of the trial that would give doubt…but I do not expect that to happen. Of course, we all know its up the the jury in the trial…that goes without saying. Know I don't know you redmum, and you don't know me, but I do know your kind, wants to state your opinion and trash everyone who dosn't agree with you! You say one thing and thing another, I call that either a liar or confusion…
Did anyone else notice the surprised look on George's face this morning when Cindy planted a big kiss on his lips on national TV? I bet it is the first kiss he's gotten from the Ice Queen for years. No wonder he misses Caylee. She's the only one who showed him affection. It looks to me like Caylee's role in this dysfunctional family was to make everybody feel loved. Too bad George and Cindy didn't love her enough to stand up to her killer.
The Anthony's are the weirdest group of people. I love my kids, but not to the point where I would assist them in getting away with the murder of a child.I might get them doctors and lawyers, but that's it. The Anthonys are a sick, perverse family. They created the monster that is Casey. At what point do they themselves become criminally liable for covering up this murder? Also, for a woman with as many problems as she has on her plate, old Cindy's skin seems a lot tighter and smoother. A little pre-trial cosmetic proceedure perhaps?
Annie, no I didn't watch it, I am sick of them, I have seen pictures on the internet though…yeah I agree that Caylee helped in George and Cindy's troubled marriage when she came along…that happens a lot with older couples, a new grand baby can really bring a couple back together, and I believe Caylee did that for them!!! It
is too bad they cant stand up for her though. Feeling sorry for Cindy and George is not going to help them, the truth is whats going to help them begin to heal. Until they can acknowledge the truth, their lives will never get any better, only worse.
LOL I love the way I am being shrilly attacked now.
There is a trial, that will decide her guilt or innocence not sites like this, thank God.
The law states that she is entitled to a fair trial, whether or not you all agree.
Constant attention like this could help the accused get off because she won't get a fair trial. And seeing as how you are all convinced of her guilt would you be happy to know that your comments may help release her. It wouldn't be the first time but hey you are all experts.
I have become more and more uncomfortable with the reporting on this tragic case on Mom Logic and the staggering level of hatred in the comments and wild accusations.
And I won't be listening to a judgemental eejit who tries to patronise me about what life is and isn't or who aggressively yells at me to SHUT UP or indeed listen to someone who calls me a liar (how do you get that).
No I have dealt with bigger and better than yourself in my life and won't be intimidated from my opinion.
It is because I have lived that I say 'there but for the grace of God go I'. Keep throwing your stones.
And if I am entitled to an opinion on this, why am I being attacked about it? I never at any stage said that no one wasn't entitled to one, my issue is that I constantly read here things posted by people which they could not possibly know, things relating to the case, or things such as me being accused of being paid to create doubt on blogs and being called a liar.
And by the way I am not based in the States and I do not know the family LOL. And actually people yes the evidence points to the most awful situation between a mother and her child, but as I said thats not down to me to judge or throw in comments how she was or wasn't a good mother, what she may or may not have gotten up to, or they weren't good grandparents or whatever.
I understand this case has captured people's imaginations and hearts and anger, but I have seen people lose the run of themselves with craziness and I have found that hard to stomach.
On the CBS Early Show Maggie said Casey Anthony spends her days in jail reading law books and waiting for the day when she is acquitted. George and Cindy say Casey will never admit to something she didn't do. Baez is supposedly telling an Orlando station why Casey will be set free. All this media blitz shows me the defense is shaking in its boots at the state putting the death penalty back on the table. No three ring circus is going to keep the lying thieving murderess off death row because the bottom line is a toddler was murdered. The jury will take one look at Caylee's skull with duct tape and a heart sticker on the mouth and find Mommy Dearest guilty as charged.
Casey is going to get her fair trial, the defense wants to claim she didn't get one in the end…not going to work, they know they have nothing else…that's my opinion, as it stands right now. The jury will look at the evidence and decide.
Its not easy to be on a jury, especially in this case, I feel for the jurors…who have to look at the remains of little Caylee etc. Now, THAT is what's unfair, that innocent people have to be pulled into this case, and make a decision…but, its all we have as a society, we cant let a killer free.
If the defense had anything else, then Casey would be out of jail right now, waiting trial(if they had evidence to another killer), but they don't, so that tells me a lot…it also says a lot when, the Ants and Casey's defense want to try, and lay this on Jesse,or Amy,or Roy,or whoever, the nanny…where is any evidence? There is none, if there was, they would put it out here, on the net, or in the public view, as to sway public opinion, that Casey could be innocent. What are they saving it for? If anybody else did this, why aren't they showing that, so that the…so called real killer can be charged? Why wait for the trial, to go after the, so called real killer or killers of Caylee?
I believe the police, have more evidence against Casey, that hasn't been made public yet. I believe in the death penalty, if the juror's find her guilty, she should be put to death.
redmum said "LOL I love the way I am being shrilly attacked now."
You do don't you redmum?
You say you love being attacked, but in the next breath you say, that the fact that others think Casey is guilty before the trial..makes you sick…so why insert yourself? I think you are a very very confused person.
Do you love being attacked, or are you sick to your stomach, which is it?
It would be sooo… refreshing to hear Cindy and George talk about something REAL. Such as how they deal with their own depression,suicidal thoughts,or even if they talked about the warning signs they missed in Casey, for years. They must have plenty of regrets for not getting Casey the psychological help she so desparately needed since she was a teenager.Cindy and George would be applauded by many, if they spoke of issues they have had to deal with-personally.They could actually help others that suffer from depression,suicidal thoughts, daughters/sons that are deeply troubled like Casey,that need to get professional help!Instead, they waste all their time denying that Casey murdered her daughter.Nothing constructive or useful ever comes out of their mouths. No one can relate to their dillusions of Casey.
True very true Leeza :-)
For a time, Brad Conway was doing a great job of keeping Cindy and George quiet and behind the scenes. Brad would make statements to the media in regards to Cindy and George's position.I thought,wow, this attorney is doing a great job! What has happened in these past several weeks? Brad has totally lost control, especially with Cindy.The deposition was a train wreck. Cindy and George were like 2 defiant teenagers with attitude.Now the deposition is being played and replayed.Brad must feel so humiliated and embarrassed at how Cindy and George acted.Why is Brad allowing them to do televised interviews in the first place.He is supposed to protect them from incriminating themselves any further.Cindy and George keep changing and adding new angles to the lies they have already told.Brad needs to quit eating Cindy's chili and Casey's koolaid!Brad needs to regain control by SHUTTING CINDY AND GEORGE UP!!! (If that's possible with Cindy), or quit like the first lawyer,before he loses his good reputation and societies respect.Brad is being used by Cindy, he should realize that by now! He's not her lawyer, he's her enabler!

Make the ceviche: Put a large pot of water over high heat and add the lemon, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt, to taste. When it comes to a boil add the shrimp and turn off the heat. Let the shrimp poach just until they are cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a sheet pan and refrigerate. When they are cool slice them in half lengthwise. Combine the coconut milk, lime juice, onion, chiles, and cilantro in a large bowl and season it with salt. Add the cooled shrimp and let them marinate, refrigerated, for about 1/2 hour.
Prepare the coconut shells: Take a hammer and hit the coconut repeatedly (not too hard) around its equator, turning the coconut in your hand. It will eventually split into 2 halves. Drain the liquid from the coconuts.
To serve: Pour the salt onto a large platter and nestle the coconut halves into the salt so they stand upright. Divide the ceviche among the coconut halves; garnish with drizzles of lime juice, olive oil and cilantro.

Theater Review: It's Irish, it's inevitableBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | July 26,2013Jim Lowe / Staff Photo
David Connor, left, is Jack Boyle and Juan Schwartz is his fair-weather friend Joxer in Unadilla Theatres Juno and the Paycock.Sean OCaseys 1924 classic Juno and the Paycock is a firsthand look at life in Dublin during the Irish Civil War. What begins as a light comedy spirals downhill into a tragedy nearly universally shared in that beleaguered country.
Unadilla Theatre has mounted a powerful production of this gritty and real drama that benefits from some fine dramatic performances.
This drama, which became a 1930 Alfred Hitchcock film, was written in 1922 when Ireland was not only dealing with an internal war that pitted neighbor against neighbor, it was suffering from deep poverty. The Boyle family, living in a Dublin tenement, is emblematic.
Jack Boyle, the blowhard family patriarch, says he cannot work because of the pains in his legs. Daughter Mary is on strike over the treatment of a fellow worker, and son Johnny has lost an arm and smashed his hip in the war, so he cannot work either. It is left to Juno, the mother, to not only support but care for her hapless family.
When a lawyer comes onto the scene telling the Boyles they have inherited a small fortune from a cousin, it seems that the familys fortunes have changed. Jack can not only drink on the credit engendered by his expectations, he is able to refurnish his home as well as his wardrobe. Mary is courted by the lawyer and falls in love. Everything is looking up, and Jack the Paycock or Peacock is lording it over his neighbors.
But things are not what they seem, and the results are catastrophic. What began as comedy ends as tragedy seemingly inevitable in an Irish play.
The Unadilla production, directed by playwright Jeanne Beckwith, has the community theaters trademark mixed-level cast, ranging from professional to rank amateur. Still, Unadilla remains Vermonts Mecca for great plays.
At Wednesdays mid-run performance, David Connor delivered a potent performance as Jack Boyle, one that made this narcissist almost sympathetic. Conversely, Nika Allen (a stage name) as the beleaguered Juno managed the delicate balance between logical thinking and protecting her children with love of her ungrateful husband.
Juan Schwartz (another stage name) was essentially the court jester as the opportunistic Joxer, offering charming comic relief in this doomed situation. Claire Demarais gave real dimension to the betrayed daughter Mary, while Vincent Broderick made Johnnys fear of retribution real.
Unadillas Juno and the Paycock offers an unusual opportunity to see one of the great Irish plays.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The White House says President Barack Obama will address the nation at 6 p.m. PDT Monday to discuss the approaching debt limit deadline and an apparent political stalemate over deficit reduction proposals.
White House spokesman Jay Carney announced the address after House Republican and Senate Democratic leaders unveiled competing plans to meet an Aug. 2 deadline to raise the government's borrowing authority.
(Editor's note: The address will be streamed live on KING5.com and NWCN.com)
Obama is supporting a proposal by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would trim $2.7 trillion of government spending over 10 years.
Reid's plan does not include new tax revenue, as Obama has demanded.
But unlike the GOP plan, it would extend the debt ceiling into 2013 -- an Obama ultimatum. The House plan trims about $1.2 billion but would only extend the debt ceiling for less than a year.

Transgender Victories: San Diego and Pennsylvania the Latest Successes; California on the Horizon
Yesterday, by a unanimous vote, the San Diego City Council amended its Human Dignity Ordinance to include protections for transgender individuals in employment, housing, public accommodations and education.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force worked with the local activists through Task Force attorney Lisa Mottet, who serves as the legislative lawyer for the Transgender Civil Rights Project. The Task Force provided local activists with the legislative language successfully adopted, as well as legal memorandums and advocacy materials for use with council members and the mayor. Of the top 10 largest cities in the U.S., San Diego becomes the sixth with explicit transgender protections. Overall, eight cities and one state (New Mexico) have passed transgender protections into their anti-discrimination laws in 2003. For more information see the press release from the local group, the HDO Amendment Coalition, below.
Also yesterday, Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell signed Executive Order 2003-10 adding "gender identity or expression" to the list of characteristics protected for employees of the Pennsylvania State Government. This order is very similar to the executive order that was signed by Kentucky Governor Paul Patton on the 29th of May. The Task Force assisted state activists when they proposed the executive order to the governor and is excited to celebrate today's success. The text of the executive order can be found on the governor's website.
California is moving closer to becoming the 4th state that explicitly bans discrimination against transgender people. Assembly Bill 196 (which has passed both the Senate and the Assembly) is sitting on Governor Gray Davis' desk awaiting his signature. The Task Force urges all California residents to immediately contact Governor Davis to urge his signing of the measure, which will make it illegal to engage in gender-based discrimination in housing and employment.
For more information see the Equality California Action Alert below.

San Diego City Council Gives Final Approval for Transgender Protection
(July 28, 2003) - Today in a historic vote, the San Diego City Council unanimously voted to amend the city's Human Dignity Ordinance (HDO) to protect the civil rights of transgender people.
"We as a community have worked hard to achieve this goal," said Amanda Watson, co-chair of the HDO Amendment Coalition, which formed early this year to press for passage of the measure. "It has been an honor working with such a diverse group. I am proud to be a part of this and to live in a city where I know I have rights too."
The amendment adds "gender identity" to the current language (which protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation). Gender identity is defined as "having or being perceived as having a gender-related identity or expression whether or not stereotypically associated with a person's actual or perceived sex."
San Diego is the first city to use the word "stereotypically" in its language instead of the word "traditionally." San Diego now joins 3 states, 9 counties and 49 other cities in specifically protecting transgender people. San Diego's current HDO, passed in 1990, covers employment, housing, city services, business establishments and educational institutions.
"Many people assume that laws protecting gays and lesbians also protect transgender individuals, but that's not the case," said Jess Durfee, also co-chair of the HDO Amendment Coalition. "There is no direct relationship between one's gender identity or expression and one's sexual orientation. We needed language specifically protecting the civil rights of transgender people."
The HDO Amendment Coalition worked with Lisa Mottet, a legislative lawyer for the Transgender Civil Rights project at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. They asked Mayor Dick Murphy, through the LGBT Advisory Board, to amend the HDO, and Councilmember Toni Atkins submitted the recommendations to the City Attorney.
Members of the HDO Amendment Coalition include: the American Civil Liberties Union, Balboa Park for All, BiForum, BiPol, Bienestar-San Diego, Dawn Media, Imperial Court de San Diego, Inc., LGBT Center of San Diego, LGBT+SQ Communities E-Mail List, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Pride At Work, San Diego Democratic Club, San Diego State University LGBT Student Union, San Diego TransFamily, Inc., The Butterfly Group, Transgender People of San Diego, Inc., and Transpire.
July 24, 2003
AB 196, the Gender Non-discrimination bill by Assembly Member Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), was approved by the state Senate today. Next stop for the bill is Governor Gray Davis' desk for a signature or veto.
AB 196 is one of three priority bills sponsored by Equality California in 2003. It will protect transgender and gender non-conforming Californians from unfair discrimination in employment and housing.
To learn more about AB 196, check out our website: http://www.eqca.org/ll_work_ab196.html
AB 196 provides critical legal protections for those Californians discriminated against because of their gender identity or expression. All that is needed now to enact these protections is the governor's signature.
TAKE ACTION! Please contact Governor Gray Davis and ask him to sign AB196. Here's how:
SEND AN EMAIL: To send an email to the Governor, simply visit EQCA's Action Center: http://www.eqca.org/takeaction/
MAKE A PHONE CALL: Don't forget -- the right wing not only sends emails, they also make phone calls. Help make sure that the Governor hears how important this bill is to thousands of Californians!
Please call Governor Davis (during business hours) and ask him to "Please SIGN AB 196, to protect Californians from gender discrimination."

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

The southern French town of Carcassonne has history in abundance, with an "immaculately preserved medieval fortress", "dramatic, turreted walls" and "fairytale" credentials, says Red magazine. Grab a rarely discounted break to this gem in Languedoc -- a 3-night escape at a luxury Relais & Châteaux hotel, plus a Michelin-starred dinner, is now £299 per person.
For £200 less than usual, you get:
The hotel is surrounded by a 300-year-old park on the historic hilltop site of Carsac. Dining options at the Domaine d'Auriac include a fine-dining restaurant and a French bistro serving local produce. There's an 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts and a terrace overlooking the gardens.
The ancient Cité of Carcassonne -- a World Heritage Site -- is three miles away and it's a 20-minute drive to the Canal du Midi, another World Heritage Site.
Red recommends entering the Cité's fortress through the thick double walls by the main car park "for the most visually impressive entrance". "Explore the narrow, cobbled streets" and spend "some time walking around the top of the ramparts" for the best views, it says. The food is also worth a mention -- try cassoulet, a traditional dish of sausages and beans.
Depart on select dates from 2 September-17 December.
Alternatively, stay four nights from £349 per person, seven nights from £499 per person, or in August for an extra £50 per person. Click here for more information and a full list of travel dates.

- The whole experience was Average.heidiDined on 9/27/2014We went there for dinner before a concert and the whole experience was just average: food, service, ambiance. I wouldn't jump at the chance to go back there, but I wouldn't take it off of my list completely. It is convenient, service was acceptable and the food was average (nothing was wrong with the food, but nothing was exciting about it either), so I would go again if that was our only option before a concert. And they do take reservations which is a plus in that area.Special Features:
- Always a pleasureOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/27/2014We always choose 10 Mercer whenever we are going to be in the area. We don't live in Seattle, but when we go to an event nearby, we choose this gem. The food is delightful, and changes with the seasons. The service and the wine are great, as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice night outDonnaDined on 9/24/2014My husband and I enjoyed a mid week dinner here in our Queen Anne neighborhood. Food was very good and well presented and service was excellent. Enjoyed eating upstairs by window. LOVED the Chilled Cucumber soup for a starter. We haven't eaten here in awhile and will make sure we come back more often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindPittsburghFoodiesDined on 9/15/2014We were unfamiliar with the Seattle area -- this was close to the hotel, so we decided to try it! Restaurant exceeded our expectations. Service (Jeff) was impeccible and the food was noteworthy! If we ever come back to visit Seattle again, we will definitely eat here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun spot...AnnieVIPDined on 9/13/2014We had dinner there on Saturday night and really enjoyed it. The appetizers were good and the salmon on special was outstanding. Fun atmosphere.Special Features:
- Great food, slow service.Got2goDined on 9/12/2014Great food, courteous wait staff, but long waits between courses. The worst was 20 minutes between clearing our appetizers and delivering our entrees. Gave ourselves 90 minutes for dinner before going to a concert and felt rushed. Kudos to the young man who kept our water glasses full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GreatdavistoDined on 8/23/2014The staff is very attentive. Our waiter, Steve, was delightful. 10 Mercer is always our first choice when there is an event at McCaw Hall that we are attending. I had the sole and the roasted salad. Both exceptional. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the swordfish. He also had the peach dessert. Fabulous - yes, he shared.Special Features:
- Favorite New Find!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/18/2014Just found this restaurant a few weeks ago but has quickly jumped up to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Lower Queen Anne!Special Features:
- Ten Mercer--A Perfect NineGromDined on 8/12/2014Steps to upstairs dining area a hindrance to some, but once there the relative quiet and ample table space make for a pleasant dining experience. Panzanella salad and crab cakes are outstanding; everything is good to excellent. Portions are generous.Special Features:
- Top spot for pre-concert diningRudiDined on 8/7/2014We first tried Ten Mercer shortly after it opened years ago and have been coming back since. We've never been disappointed. At this visit I enjoyed the delicious duck breast and my partner had a well-prepared seafood/pasta dish. Service is always efficient and professional. For the first time (because of a drastic reduction in parking due to traffic rerouting around Seattle Center) we tried the valet parking. It was great! For $8 dollars you can leave your car right by Ten Mercer, dine, go to your event, return to the restaurant and pick up your keys from the bartender.Special Features:
- good foodadasawVIPDined on 8/5/2014Went early on a Tuesday night so the place was not very busy. The food was excellent and well prepared. Service was attentive without being over the top. Would definitely go back if in the neighborhood again.Special Features:
- Hit n' missRivkaDined on 8/3/2014We had a delicious dinner at Ten mercer in January, so decide to return last week. Uninspired cuisine. Best item ordered was the burger and fries.Special Features:
- Just what we were looking forfamilyPTGDined on 7/29/2014Our group had diverse eating preferences and ages (teens to seniors). We wanted a place that was quiet enough for conversation at a table for 6, casual enough so grandma didn't feel out of place not wearing a skirt, and someplace that we could linger with the family. This restaurant was everything we were looking for and the food was terrific! everyone was happy with their choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will come back for a second mealjseattleDined on 7/18/2014I enjoyed my first meal at Ten Mercer and will return to try something else on their menu. The interior was welcoming and relaxing, especially after struggling through the traffic mess around the Seattle Center. The restaurant's location makes it a convenient place to eat before any event at the Seattle Center.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/10/2014Service was excellent. We came for the lobster rolls as we lived in Maine for a number of years and found them to be as good as the ones there. It was a great place to come for a pretheatre meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- yumseekerDined on 6/28/2014The food and service at 10 Mercer are always excellent, but they went the extra mile as we dined there prior to a concert. They made sure that our meal was served at a gracious speed, but with plenty of time for us to walk over to the Seattle Center in time for our event.Special Features:
- Last minute changeJessieDined on 6/28/2014They were wonderful. I had a last minute addition to my reservation and they were able to accommodate the extras in my party as well as being understanding when I was late. The food was wonderful! I tried 3 different dishes and loved them. Pan fried Sole with lemon sauce and fried caper- to die for! The drinks were reasonably priced for Seattle and were delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Lower Queen Anne FavoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/27/2014My family has Seattle Storm season tickets, and we look forward to the WNBA season so we can have frequent reason for pre-game dinners at Ten Mercer. Even if -- heaven forbid -- the Storm has a bad night, we KNOW we'll enjoy the evening because of the delicious, interesting food and unbeatable ambiance of Ten Mercer!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't Go!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/25/2014Very disappointing. Food was mediocre and our fish started to taste a bit dated. We had reservations and when we entered they were not crowded but they offered to seat us in the balcony area. Once we got there it was obvious that we had been placed in the area for patrons who weren't dressed "properly". Maybe they had reserved the fish for that area, also. I really can't recommend Ten Mercer.
- KattDined on 6/20/2014We went before seeing a film at SIFF and were pleased that it was a "dark" night for other entertainment venues. No crowd or noise. Decor is attractive and tables are well spaced. The service was focused, professional, and non-intrusive. My rack of lamb over polenta with asparagus was excellent. The lamb was tender and grilled to perfection. My husband's beef tenderloin medallions were tasty but chewy. My only complaint is that the prices are a bit high for essentially a bistro. If they'd knock $2 - 4 off the entrees and offer some specials on wines by the glass, this would be our go-to place.Special Features:
- Great food, mixed up orderShellranDined on 6/16/2014We made reservations for my son's high school graduation dinner. I called ahead to explain that we were on a tight time schedule, so we had previewed the menu and would be placing our order right as soon as we were seated. I also pre-ordered appetizers, which were brought to our table shortly after being seated. The disappointment was that my son was looking forward to the pancetta wrapped tenderloin filet, and he was brought the pork tenderloin instead. When we asked our server, she said that the kitchen messed up, and it would take 20 minutes to re-do. They comped that meal, but it was disappointing not to receive what had been ordered.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great ambience, loud!islandbluffDined on 6/15/2014Have eaten at 10 Mercer twice in the past year. It's been a good experience each time, but could have been a great experience. Staff is helpful and freindly, no problems there. Food is good, but could be great or outstanding if "sauced" a little less. The table of five each had different dishes, and the consensus was that the quality ingredients didn't need the strong sauces each had - a lighter touch would help. On the other hand, three members of the party tried specialty cocktails, and all were excellent, as were the appetizers. A good late-night meal at 10 Mercer might consist of just appetizers or small plates and one of their good, unusual wines. Stick with the under $40/bottle, and you'll still get character for value.Special Features:
- Close to Key ArenaSherryDined on 6/14/201410 Mercer accommodated our group of ten. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was fresh and inviting. They did rush us a bit (probably for their next reservation). Since we like to eat fast anyway, it all worked out.Special Features:

- Love this place.ochocatDined on 6/5/2014This is our go-to spot on lower Queen Anne before SIFF , the theater, basketball, etc. Wonderful 10 martinis and many small plate options. Often there are happy hour items too. Relaxed, reasonable priced. We have been going there for years and always recommend it.Special Features:
- Above and Beyond!VeekDined on 6/4/2014We were a group on a tight time schedule, during an evening with lots of similar groups on our same schedule (high school graduation nearby). Our waiter bent over backward to guide our orders in a way that would keep us on track; we could see that the whole restaurant staff was on top of things and working as a team. And the food was magnificent! The Copper River Sockeye Salmon special was greatly loved by those who ordered it, and the parmesan-crusted sole was amazing. Fantastic appetizers to open (gorgonzola/beet samosas and caesar spring rolls in prosciutto), and tasty dessert sampler with coffee to close. All 7 of us are still raving!Special Features:

- Well done all arounddbbbDined on 5/31/2014Four different fish dishes were all prepared very nicely and quite differently. We each enjoyed our food, and the waitress did a great job of helping each of us decide what meal we might prefer. Great beers on tap and excellent wine choices as well.Special Features:
- Hip Bar and RestaurantislandgalVIPDined on 5/30/2014We had dinner before a key arena concert so we were early diners. Gracious waitress but our entrees came while we were still enjoying our appetizers. Our waitress apologized but not cool. The food was very good; especially the halibut. My friends thought their salmon slightly over cooked but they enjoyed it! Will return for another dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot for pre theatre diningCultureloverVIPDined on 5/17/2014This is always my #1 go to spot for a nice dinner before attending events at McCaw Hall, The Rep, Films at SIFF Cinema etc. The owner supports the arts organizations around Seattle Center. they always get you out in time for your show. The food and wine selection are very good, with nice ambience and service. Also nice if you want an after-theatre meal, coffee or dessert as they are open late after the shows let out. We will often go for a coffee or wine and wait out the traffic after the opera.Special Features:
- The place to go before a showRudiDined on 5/17/2014Shortly after Ten Mercer first opened years ago we decided to try it out for dinner before an Intiman production. Since then, it's been our preferred spot for dining before the opera, Rep and other performances at Seattle Center. The menu is a nice balance between frequent favorites and daily specials. The wine list is wide-ranging and the staff is extremely knowledgeable in offering just the right suggestion for food being ordered and budget preferences. A huge plus for larger parties is that the staff will readily (and, in contrast to many places, cheerfully), separate the bill according to singles or couples. Can't wait for our next visit!Special Features:

- Mother's Day at Ten MercerDTRHDined on 5/11/2014Called in a reservation on the day before Mother's day and there were plenty of openings while most restaurants were booked. They seem to have capacity for about 100+ patrons but parking scarcity in the area would keep a lid on total guest numbers. In short, my guess is that one could always score a late reservation if needed. Parking in the area is a challenge and expensive, so plan accordingly. Good food, good service, good ambience. While we didn't participate, Happy Hour prices for drinks and food seem very reasonable. Would return again some day but will look at undiscovered places first.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent, as usual!BlueAliiDined on 5/8/2014Had a delightful, delicious, well presented dinner prior to the opera.Special Features:
- Great pre-Seattle Center Choiceme4eatDined on 5/8/2014If you're attending a Seattle Center performance, Ten Mercer is a great pre-event choice. Food, Service, locale, and ambiance are just right. The menu changes sufficiently often to be interesting and offers good to very good dining; the service is attentive and respectful of the timing, and the noise level is low enough to make conversation possible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always well-prepared, fresh food.GerpVIPDined on 5/8/2014We eat here several times a year and always have a good experience. The food is well-prepared and the menu features seasonal fresh items along with stand by favorites. The service is impeccable and very sensitive about making sure you make an evening event if necessary. I had the sole with a beurre blanc sauce that was a bit too rich. I would have liked a lighter sauce. The sole was breaded and "grilled" but was slightly deep-fried tasting. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- wonderful pre-play dining !winingndiningDined on 4/27/2014The lamb with polenta cakes and asparagus was a gem ! The lamb was cooked to tender perfection, with a peppery crust - no added seasoning needed. My husband had mussels in a curry broth as his entree and said they were some of the best he has ever had ! The staff were all good-humored, even on a busy night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
