Utah Drive-In
1876 Washington Boulevard,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Opened on October 28, 1949, as the Starlite-Drive-In. At this time there were already three other Ogden-area drive-ins. Its opening was not without controversy as the neighbors on Shupe Lane appealed that its license be denied on the grounds that it would worsen already hazardous traffic conditions at Washington and Park Boulevards.
It began its 1965 season as the Uptown Drive-In and under management change and with a remodeled snack bar. It appeared to drop out of the theatre listings in early November of 1969. At this time all of the other Ogden area drive-ins were open year round and offered in-car heaters.
It was open again on April 29 of 1970 with a name change to the Utah Drive-In with and ad proclaiming 'Newly Remodeled'. Apparently it was under new management, as in January an ad appeared in the Ogden Standard-Examiner classifieds to sell a drive-in grossing $70,000. Later, ads appeared asking for a manager and other employees to apply. In June of 1970 things began to look up when the Utah Drive-In had what was described as 'World Premiere Showing' of "The Cheyenne Social Club" which they played day and date with the downtown Orpheum Theatre.
It dropped out of the movie listing in early November of 1977, when there were still four other year-round drive-ins, but continued to operate seasonally and was last listed in the International Motion Picture Almanac in 1988.
Apartments now occupy the site near Park Boulevard and Shupe Lane.

McCOY COOKIE JAR
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $195.00
- Item Not Available
Were proud to say it - this is the genuine article: McCoys (now vintage) beautiful Touring Car Cookie Jar, an image of the classic covered touring cars of the 20s.
It was produced in the early 60s and glazed in a wonderful cream and black color combination with cold-paint highlights in copper color representing brightwork, and yellow-gold to brighten up other details, like the spokes of the wheels, and steering wheel and hand controls. >P?The finish is bright and shiny no rubs or scratches anywhere and no cracks or crazing just one little chip on the outside edge of the right front tire.
The removable top is likewise perfect, inside and out. And the interior of the car is fully glazed(!) in that same beautiful cream color.
Now, that would all be remarkable enough for a pottery piece of this vintage, but even more remarkable is the fact that this wonderful cookie jar still has all its cold paint the copper-colored lamps and hood trim, the yellow-gold wheel spokes and hub caps, the yellow-gold steering wheel, hand controls and horn, and yes! Even the handles and hinges on the doors!
Embossed on the bottom: McCoy/USA.
This lovely piece is big, and its heavy its about 6-1/2" tall, 10-1/2" long and 5-1/2" wide and about 8 pounds as it sits. Itll ship in a large box, CAREFULLY packed.
So, as I was saying, this is a lovely, essentially perfect piece, and the best Ive seen among those other McCoy Touring Car Cookie Jars out there.

10 Marketing Tools for Home-Based Businesses
Owners of home-based businesses sometimes view marketing as an unnecessary expense, but nothing could be further from the truth. Because a home-based business doesn't have a storefront for passers-by to notice and no opportunity to generate walk-in business, home-based businesses need marketing more than other types of businesses, not less.
Not marketing your home-based business will almost certainly doom it to failure. Here are 10 ways you can advertise your home business on a budget.

18 months of workout transformed Farhan Akhtar into Milkha Singh
- Dailybhaskar.com
- Jul 07, 2013, 12:42 PM IST
Farhan Akhtar will soon be seen playing the character of 'Flying Sikh—Milkha Singh', in his upcoming movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The actor spent more than 18 months to achieve the athletic physique of legendary Indian Olympian Milkha Singh.
Farhan followed a vigorous exercise routine for a period of 18 months to tone up his body.
The movie talks of Singh's life as a gold medal-winning track and field sprinter who triumphed over hurdles put up for him by circumstances.
In order to present an unadulterated version of the Olympian on screen, Director Rakeysh Omprakesh Mehra asked Farhan to look very authentic.
He made sure that the actor learnt how to sprint like a runner, to resemble his character.
Mehra appointed a team of professionals including an athletics coach and a fitness trainer, who helped Farhan Akhtar build his body to suit the character.
The actor was made to follow a strict diet program for over 18 months and was trained vigorously.

Created in 2004 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using perfuming's most exclusive elements. As sober and intense as Japanese haiku, they reinvent a nature that is as precious as it is unusual, as if rendered by the inspired writing of a composer in search of the new.
Enriched each time the perfumer discovers a new country, a language, a culture or simply extraordinary new ingredients, as of today the line consists of eight fragrances, exclusively available in Hermès stores.
Vanille Galante: a sensuous, paradoxical vanilla that murmurs its full depth with unexpected lightness. "Some describe this scent as lazy and monotonous – for others, it constitutes its power – and I felt like responding to that by expressing another dimension of vanilla, light as a breeze, with hints of spice, petals and smoked wood", notes Jean-Claude Ellena. Hermessence Vanille Galante was launched in 2009.

This isn't your cheap run of the mill Vanilla. Upon immediate spray it smells like fresh vanilla. Like real vanilla. Not real vanilla liquid you bake with either. I get a green banana-ish smell. I guess it's banana leaf that other people mentioned. Maybe ylang ylang. Soft and subtle with some floral. But don't let its soft and subtleness fool you. It's a projector. I've wore it two days now with different clothes. I keep smelling something nice in the air and it's me!
I don't get any Tobacco. And, I don't,know why people are complaining about the price. There's a 100ml bottle on eBay right now for $210cdn!
Hermessence Vanille Galante is so light, soft, tender, delicate and divinely feminine, that it's almost not there, except that it is also rich and alluring and incredibly there, and I'm always being told I smell divine, even after about 6 hours. Superbly smooth alluring vanilla, with gentle spices, a lovely deep tobacco, with musk and woods, and sweet feminine flowers, and a drop of scrumptious cognac, all mixed in together. It's beautiful.
I have to re-apply it a couple of times during the day, but that's perfectly fine with me, as it's wonderful to smell the glorious flowery/cognac/vanilla beginning over and over again! I love love love it so much!
The bottle design and the colours, of the liquid and bottle and cap, are magnificently exquisite, and absolutely reflect the feeling of the perfume - elegant, classy, soft and feminine, gentle, creamy and alluring.
My husband loves it, and I get complimented all the time on the divine scent coming from me. It's one of my favourite perfumes; I adore it. It's exquisite.
Calvini and I have the same problem. When I applied this, I immediately thought of the beach, and not in the good way. It reminds me of how it used to smell when my father would clean fish when I was a kid, that fresh-out-of-the-ocean fish smell. Is it just us? I don't get vanilla at all. I really just smell raw fish and seafood. Very strange!
Well, this one well and truly exceeded my expectations! I decided to buy Vanille Galante because I wanted to see Jean Claude Ellena's take on vanilla and, given his amazing track record over the years, I was prepared to pay something of a premium to find out and take the risk of a blind buy. So what did I discover?
Well, in practical terms, first of all, this projects moderately for about 90 minutes to two hours and then settles down to being a skin scent. It just manages to stagger past seven hours on my skin.
When I first sprayed it on, I smelled - as you would expect - vanilla. It is a gorgeous vanilla though, a creamy vanilla, somewhat like Madagascan vanilla pods. After all those cheaper, more synthetic, artificial, cheap gourmand vanillas, this is a real delight. The next thing that I noticed is that it is a smoky vanilla. It's smoky as in a nice tobacco note and also some smoky woody notes as well. And finally, I wondered if there was a floral hint as well. Definitely a lovely opening. And then as the alcohol evaporated and the scent began to take hold of my skin and start to envelop me, I realised what it reminded me of. The olfactory memory was a magnificent one! It reminded me of a couple of lovers from my past who both used to smoke and wore vanilla-based or vanilla dominant perfumes back in the day before I tended to enquire of such details. Well, I certainly felt very happy indeed upon being reminded of beautiful girls in little black dresses and wonderful evenings where the little black dresses came off! And as the next twenty minutes passed, the scent began to open up and project gently about me and around me and then the most extraordinary thing happened - I felt the same joyous post-coital grin on my face for about another hour or so! I felt as happy as if I had had the pleasure of those companions once again and the same giggly afterglow. That sensation alone makes this one a 'love' rather than a 'like' perfume.
Now, alas, the cost of the Hermessence line is quite mind boggling. It makes Creed perfumes look cheap - that's how horrific it is. But, for that effect and the boost in my mood, you know what? I think I can see myself buying many bottles over many years to come. This is simply sensational!
I don't know what the hell was wrong with my skin (or my nose?) that day, but it smelled like raw seafood! Specifically raw octopus at first, then it became shellfish (oyster)... Since I didn't read the review maybe that was the banana peel thing people are talking about?
Although it's not listed in the notes (iirc, it lists general "floral" notes), on me I get something akin to an airy stargazer lily, with vanilla in the background. Definitely not a common combination, very light for spring/summer, but it wouldn't fit in with autumnal/winter weather.
An extremely light and airy fragrance, which I appreciate. However, I get a lot of a green leaf banana sort of note in this that I'm not a huge fan of. I do get some vanilla that makes this fragrance a bit creamy, but I mostly get the melon/leaf/banana. It's interesting but not my cup of tea.
This is a beautiful fragrance. If only it had more staying power.
The vanilla is very subdued and light, not too sweet, and it's backed by very soft florals and a hint of fruit. I'm confused by the reviews that say it's a deep rich fragrance, because I don't get any spice or wood at all, but maybe it's a difference in skin chemistry. It's very airy and delicate on me, like delicate fresh flowers and a touch of summer fruits on a gentle vanilla breeze. It's not gourmand at all, but it is cozy and comforting.
Unfortunately it tends to do a disappearing act. Within an hour, it's almost undetectable on me. I hope it fares better for others, because it really is a joy to smell.
With 'Vanille Galante', Mr. Ellena attempts to abolish the mundane and unoriginal connotations which follow vanilla-based fragrances. He states, "I wanted to respond to this smell which could be described as lazy and repetitive with an invitation to rediscover another vanilla, an unusual, complex and paradoxical one". To achieve this it appears he has elevated vanilla to its upper registry and with a deft hand has turned what is at once dense into something which is quite light and airy. The fragrance opens with a beautiful oriental lily note which is mirrored with a sweet vanilla. It is gentle as a breeze, yet redolent in its splendor. The vanilla featured here is organic and earthy, far from the synthetic vanilla extract of numerous kitchen cupboards. Instead it is sweet, rich and exotic in tone. I smell subtle hints of cocoa, tonka bean and perhaps nutmeg which join with the vanilla-floral accord seamlessly. The effect is intoxicating.
'Vanille Galante' is perfect for spring, reminding me of the sweetly floral scent of freshly blooming hyacinth, daffodils, and crocus bursting forth from the snow covered landscape. This refreshing skin scent is soft and delicate, far from obtrusive or cloying. As with the rest of the Hermesence collection from Hermès, sillage and projection are light and longevity average for this "eau de toilette". Perfect for daywear, 'Vanille Galante' can be utilized for casual wearing around town or for more formal work related functions. I feel the composition leans toward the feminine fragrance spectrum as it is definitely sweet and floral based, although still may be considered unisex. I find 'Vanille Galante' to be an innovative take on vanilla in fragrance. Typically paired with overtly gourmand accords, here is a vanilla which transcends its boundaries and marries effortlessly with airy florals in an imaginative and refreshing breeze.
Read my complete review at my personal blog
Light floral breath of wind( ylang- ylang),nuances of spices,sweet tender wood ( sandalwood ).A sensuous vanilla ,the original fragrance of a crafted natural vanilla with an unexpected lightness.
Maybe it's the combination of the watery verdancy and creamy vanilla, I too get the green banana and melon effect upon applying Vanille Galante. But the fragrance soon turns into a blooming lily as a subtle peppery accord joins in.
The watery verdancy and the salty peppery nuance keep the lily realistic enough, but at the same time, the transparent aesthetic present through all the Hermessence offerings, keeps the lily from being too assertive. The vanilla kind of diffuses into the lily, while its creaminess complements the lily, it also has a fluffy texture that manages to lift up the scent and creates a haziness around the lily.
With time, as the vanilla permeates into the lily, it eventually takes over and the fragrance dries down into an elegant floral vanilla. I can even smell some heliotrope at times. The cognac and woody notes are not very distinct to my nose, but their efforts to keep the vanilla realistic are easy to tell when comparing Vanille Galante to a 'cupcake' vanilla.
The sillage of Vanille Galante is moderate to soft during the first 6 hours. It then stays very close to skin for another 3 hours on me.
With lily playing an almost equal part, I'd hesitate to recommend Vanille Galante as a vanilla fragrance. However, as a lily/vanilla fragrance, its translucency makes it less sweet and more reserved than most fragrances with the same theme, such as Cartier Baiser Volé Essence de Parfum or Guerlain Lys Soleia, without compromising the peppery and creamy characteristics of lily. Vanille Galante is indeed gallant, and I'd recommend it to those who'd like a relatively low-key lily/vanilla fragrance.
All I smell is ylang-ylang and I find it disgusting.
Theres a cool, creamy suedey/leathery note in the opening but its so airy, I cant really smell a distinct vanilla. It reminds me a bit of gelato or the gas from a can of whipped cream but not as sweet :/ all the notes have a frothy well blended quality so none of them really stand out, apart from a hint of soft petals and a vague fruityness.
Oh and there's also something very clean and delicate about that reminds me of clean, slightly fragranced hair.
Ah man, I wanted to love this one so bad...but, unfortunately it isnt a hit for me.
All I get is banana peel (as manhy have mentioned) with watery white florals and a tiny bit of dirty vanilla. After that, it becomes this musky, almost dry musky scent and not a sweet musk at that!
Too bad, overall 6/10 for me since it is not synthetic or cheap smelling, even if I do not much like the smell - it is still an excellent blended fragrance.
EDIT: I knew this reminded me of something - it reminds me of Jo Malone Blue agava and cacao! thing is, this is not a sweet as BA&C, but I kept thinking about it and they sure are similar.
Sadly, oh so sadly, this is so far the only vanilla/tobacco combination that I've found that I can't stand.
For those tired of foodie vanillas, this may be for you. It's far from sugary, it's not even lightly sweet, it's full on bitter on my skin. I suspect ylang ylang is the culprit, and as if medicinal bitterness weren't big enough an evil, it smells like buttery banana. I smell like buttered bananas in a smoky room.
So very nice in hot weather. A warm vanilla-floral. Soft vanilla and not at all synthetic smelling. Reminds me a litte of Guerlains aqua allegoria ylang-vanille but this one is less heady, less creamy, less ylang, warmer, unisex and more vanilla. I find it more interesting also. It is close to skin but I get whiffs of it throughout the day. Fb worthy in my book. The best I have tried of the hermessences. For me it is only for summer. It blooms then. In cold weather it became sort of mute on my skin.
Quite interesting this one and the way it smells and develops relies on the weather conditions.
On cooler, rainy days it's more of a dirty vanilla with quite strong floral phase. And the florals I'm speaking of are more green house/ field flowers; think of little field flowers sprouting out from moist soil after a rain.
Now, on a warm drier days, it's like a little mist of yellow florals spiced up with warm vanilla. It's not cheap plastic sugary sweet vanilla, it's warm, spicy and quite natural. To give you a comparison, think of when you're baking: you can use cheap vanilla esseence or fine vanilla paste full of sweetly scented seeds.
Then it dries down to this lovely scent of vanilla-spiced carnations.
It can be a bit boozy when first applied, a bit like opening a bottle of Galliano liquer, but after just a few minutes the florals join in the party.
Longevity is not great though. Most scents last on my skin a bit longer than they do on other people, but I get roughly 3-5 hours and have to re-apply.
Definitely a daytime fragrance, and because it behaves differently given different atmospheric conditions it's great all year round. I find it quite fun to observe how it changes depending on weather.
In a way it reminds me of Guerlain Acqua Allegoria Lys Soleia which I own so if that's something you like you might enjoy Vanille Galante too.
When I first sprayed this I wasn't sure if I liked it but the more I used it the better it became. It is so warm and soft but light at the same time. I think I could wear this at any time of the year. I find that none of the notes are loud and shrieking just beautifully blended but I can still smell each one as it dries down and progresses. I usually reapply this a couple of times during the day (as I do with most of my perfumes) and I definitely get wafts of it as I move around and do things. It is very comforting. Love it!
vanilla and bananas , i know there are no bananas in there but i smell bananas with some cream and vanilla , go figure is nice but not purchase worthy for the price $$$
Vanilla/pistache Italian icecream.
Watery flowers.
Stingy booze note from the beginning.
Medium sillage & longevity.
Not for me.
I dislike most perfumes, but Hermes is the exception that keeps delivering for me.
This scent starts off like a very intense real vanilla extract, and fades into a more subtle mix of vanilla and alcohol. I know it's supposed to be cognac, but it smells more like spiced rum to me.
I'm puzzled by the people who don't smell vanilla in this - perhaps they have never smelled real vanilla? I kind of wish I liked it less, because now I'll have to spend the money on a full bottle. A great, comforting scent for a cold day.
Hermes was kind enough to send me a generous sample of this perfume. While I like it, it isn't my very favorite. The vanilla and floral notes seem to battle with each other while you wear it. Oddly, at the same time it's a light smell that stays close to you. It's very lady like as well as expensive smelling, but I just don't think it's as complex as their Ambre Narguile which I absolutely love.
People into longevity and sillage look away now.
I blame my dislike of vanilla to the plethora of cheap vanilla fragrances overpopulating the market since forever. Most people generally not into perfume, whenever they decide it's about time to buy a fragrance, they go 90% of the times for something vanilla-centered. The problem is that of this 90%, another 90% of the time their choice go towards cheap-goumrnadic and overly sweet vanillas.The result is that we're surrounded by cheap vanilla. As a matter of fact, I very rarely can stand vanilla fragrances (exception made for a bunch of older Guerlains, some ambers and very few others).
With that said, Vanille Galante is completely another thing. I'm generally not a big fan of Ellena's *light touch* but in this case it definitely played in the fragrance favor. To me, VG reads mainly as a watery-floral with vanillic facets. There's a banana peel vibe going on (probably provided by the ylang-ylang) and a bitter, kind of smoky, presence contrasting the overall sweetness. The result is beyond sophistication in my opinion. Light but noticeable, extremely elegant and, in the end, quite an unique take on the main theme.
Now, two more considerations:
1) As most of the Hermessence, I find this overpriced. It's good and I thoroughly like it but it's not better than most of the *regular* Hermes if you like their general style. Both quality-wise and artistically-wise.
2) For the most part, my theory is that there aren't good ingredients and bad ones. Yes, there are better and worst quality vanillas, there are materials that depending on one's tastes are more appealing than others but, the big difference is made by how perfumers use them.
Downline: Vanille Galante is probably not a masterpiece but is a thoroughly enjoyable fragrance in my book.
Rating: 7-7.5/10
I have to confess that I hate vanilla in perfumes.
I can barely stand vanilla only when very talented perfumers hide the note well,so I can't detect that is there.
But my dear friend Desiree send me a huge sample of this and because I am a devoted follower of Hermes,I tested it.
What a beauty!If the name wasn't Vanille Galante,I could swear that isn't a vanilla in there.
A beautiful,ethereal white flower note,reminding me of full in bloom almond trees,blended with light tobacco and woods,maybe?Very light,very poetic,very vibrant.
Well,the thing about talented perfumers,high quality ingredients vs all the rest.
Thank you Desiree for the chance,thank you monsieur Ellena for prove me wrong hating vanilla.
A very beautiful creamy ylang-ylang opening changed into a super light, whisper thin vanilla. After that, it was algae - the kind you get when you clean a fish tank.
I get very light vanilla, described previously by someone else as sheer - very much so. Light wood, a tiny bit of ylang ylang - sweet & sticky. Lovely but a fast fader!
Apparently the chemistry of this composition is for a few lucky ones. Crudely what I get out of VG is the same thing I smell out of a newly wet baby diaper, a combination of some baby wetness, moisturizer and lubricant.
I really like this one! Sweet, sheer and subtle.
I get a lot of ylang-ylang in here (along with that characteristic faint, yet creamy hint of a banana like note). But what I especially like here is Jean-Claude Ellena's transparent use of vanilla. Forget the heavy, boozy, almost animalic vanilla of Guerlain, etc. Here the Vanilla is wrapped in very light spices and cognac. It's still quite light, but by no means fleeting. I would best describe it as "transparent". Neither too light, nor too heavy and cloying.
His inspiration was the origin of Vanilla as a trading spice, being brought across oceans in long voyages on sailing ships; along with other spices such as cloves and cinnamon, all tightly packed next to wooden barrels of cognac etc. All these ingredients can be detected in this fragrance, and they are all balanced beautifully.
I think Vanille Gallante is actually a really beautiful one. I know other people get rotten banana out of this, and that's a shame. But to me it's smells like hints of spices, Indian chai tea, and a creamy vanilla extract. I find it quite intoxicating. I think this is my favourite use of vanilla outside of a Guerlain perfume. Very different though, but I appreciate his take on it. Not bad Ellena!
On initial application this seemed promising, very sweet and simple like freshly baked vanilla cookies and honeysuckle. Quickly though, it turned into bananas mixed lightly with bug spray. Not a winner for me, sadly.
Sadly unremarkable. Not a warm vanilla, in fact not a real vanilla scent at all. Smells more like a low grade ylang ylang which gives me the impression of my dentists office. No thanks.
Thank you so much for your great review, earthkeeper below. I do believe it might be the testers gone bad, because something smells fishy to me (unfortunately I'm not gonna buy a whole bottle of it because the price is too high to gamble on). I'm glad others get the beauty out of this fragrance. I don't.
I was really hesitant about trying this one because of the reviews, because otherwise, it seemed like it would be right up my alley (flowers and vanilla, and done by Hermes to boot). Now, I am not the biggest fan of most Hermes fragrances but I know I can count on them to make a vanilla that isn't sickly sweet or foody, hence why I really wanted to try this. It did not disappoint! Though I am not sure where many of the reviews are coming from. Fishy? No, not at all. Salty? Nope, just not overly sweet. The vanilla here is a very real, vanilla pod type of vanilla. There is nothing sugary about it, but it is creamy. Also, for me this is really all about the vanilla. There are some florals and spices to round it out but there is no doubt that this is a vanilla fragrance. Maybe If you are used to more gourmand vanillas this might seem to be light on vanilla, but it's not, it's simply a different kind of vanilla. My kind of vanilla. I've been looking for a soft, non-gourmand vanilla for a while and have found it in Vanille Galante. It kind of reminds me of Orchidee Vanille by VC&A but softer in every way. It has that same vanilla and flowers theme but this one is much less sweet (even though I wouldn't call Orchidee Vanille a gourmand either, it is just very sweet). All that said, there is one area I am slightly disappointed in, especially for the price, and that would be sillage and longevity. It could just be my sample (and the fact that I had to dab on a small amount rather than spray, this isn't a parfum so that's certainly not how it would normally be applied), but for the price, I'd want it to be a tad stronger. In any case, it's lovely. Vanilla for floral lovers.
It smells like sunflower, much stronger though, but as if you smelt directly from the middle of sunflower in full bloom.
I like the smell in nature but not on me.
Alright! I believe I can slightly demystify the fish smell that some experience with Vanille Galante.
I got a few samples of it from my H store when it first came out and for some reason only came around to testing it late this summer. I have been enjoying it here and there trying to figure out if it truly was full bottle worthy for me. I really like vanilla fragrances but wow am I ever picky with them... VG was definitely on the yay list for me. It is rare that you will find a vanilla centered fragrance that isn't mainly or overly sweet. I'm also a HUGE fan of Ylang Ylang and my nose seems to pick up on this intoxicating flower in the mixture. In my opinion Ellena had hit the mark of perfection where it was such a beautiful, clean, light vanilla that didn't evoke any gourmand images but still managed to offer that welcome, soothing, comforting feeling that vanilla excels at. Light enough to be worn on a hot summer day and have you sniffing away at yourself in sunny bliss. The verdict was YES!
Two days ago I went into my H store in the hopes they had received Epice Marine as I had yet to sample it. Sadly they hadn't.... Anyhow, I asked the SA if I could please have a vial of Vanille Galante as my last vial had but a few drops left and a bottle of VG was pretty far on the horizon for the time being (I had a nice Lutens shopping spree the week prior hehe...).
This morning, I decide to dab some VG on my left wrist before sitting down to enjoy my breakfast. To my great horror it smelled like fish what the...? I run back to my H vials as I couldn't remember if I had used the vial I had picked up a few days prior or my old one. As I suspected, I had indeed used the new one and so I immediately dabbed some juice from the old vial on my right wrist. Whew! No fish smell. What does this mean? Bad batch? Has it turned? I don't know... 2 hours in the left wrist still wreaks of fish, but now, because I smelt the dreaded fishy version of VG, I think I kinda sorta pick up on a slight fishiness from my right wrist as well... It's very mild and fleeting - but I'm pretty sure it's there... Is this just a byproduct of olfactory memory? Could it be because the weather and humidity has dropped here? Or has it been there all along and I just wasn't picking up on it because it was so mild in the old vial?
Update Oct 30th 2013:
So I decided to take the plunge and buy a full buttle of Vanille Galante. I am soooooo happy I moved forward with this purchase. After performing a few more tests with the "fishy vial" in question, it definitely seemed to point towards that specific tester having issues. Which is quite unfortunate as it seems there are a few of those turned vials in circulation based on other reviews of VG. So basically, if you've tried VG and it smelled fishy to you, I strongly suggest you give it another try from a different source.
As I type this I'm wearing VG and it is so special! As I mentioned earlier, VG is beautifully complimented by ylang ylang - to my nose at least. The vanilla and ylang dance together in such beautiful symbiosis and the wood and spice give it its unisex twist. Sweet and light, yet slightly warm and spicy. Perfectly balanced. I cannot wait to properly experience VG in the summer time. Wears close to the skin with good longevity. The classiest vanilla I've ever had the pleasure of smelling. Every single time I spray this beauty it never fails to raise my good mood ratio a couple of notches!! :)
Jean-Claude Ellena has chosen to feature vanilla's upper registry in his transcendent and ethereal Vanille Galante. Here it is vanilla's cloud-like texture which is on display; much like spun sugar, or fluffy creme brûlée. This is however, not your typical gourmand rendering, choosing to be more floral and less "foody". Ellena has included an indolic white floral accord (most likely white lily) which balances nicely with the creamy facets of vanilla. Cognac offers sweetness and depth, while a mysterious wood note (possibly guaiac wood) lends a warm undercurrent. Alongside Creed's "Sublime Vanille", this is another beautiful creation paying homage to vanilla's exotic sensuality. (103)
I'm not gonna waste anytime stating my displeasure. This fragrance is full of sweets, woods, and vanilla but this is far from a gourmand. This is a flowery vanilla, not the edible kind...that pretty much sums up my beef. Initial gripes aside, this actually lasts a long time. It's very wearable and light in nature. I definitely wouldn't blind buy this due to one's personal vanilla preference.
This is by far the greenest, saltiest sweet scent i have eve experienced.
I don't have an actual review with the breakdown of all the notes during the marvelous olfactory experience, but this is how it makes me feel... keeping in mind that it's not something you would wanna wear in winter, nor an evening out for that matter.
This is like sunshine, on a beach, that's surrounded by palm trees, next to a vanilla field (i know this is realistic, but neither does Vanille Galante!)
If boat rides, fruity cocktails and white bikinis to be put in a bottle and sprayed, they would be Vanille Galante.
This is basically the love child of Jour d'Hermes and Uncle Serge's Bois de Vanille.
Hermès Hermessence - Vanille Galante
Ohhh My God - What a delicious opening!!! The floral note of Ylang gives me an impression of my skin being a dish of banana flambé au cognac dessert with honeyed topping!!! Hummmm... Yummy!
White sweety floral notes come and i can detect for sure Lily - which gives me peace and, luxury and comfortable wear - particular of this note
I am tired of some ordinary openings i see on many many scents - and this one makes the different - here i feel mesmerized and mouth-watered in front of this beautiful and distinct perfume!
Yes, i know it is a little bit linear, however it is well made for sure. The previous written step now gives place to a different phase which vanilla note appears on background.
Vanilla here is not powdery but sweety and floral. Vanilla is not a main note here, unlike we could expect from its name "Vanille Galante", but it makes the difference. The detail makes the diference! Like a cherry on the Pie!
One of the best Ellena's creations! Yeah, it is quite luminous, simple, minimalistic, But also fabulous, delicious and luxurious!
The Hermessence line are supposed to be haikus. It's simple, it's light, and absolutely gorgeous. I love love love this fragrance. I wish it was a bit stronger because this feels like an eau de cologne (with and eau de parfum price). It's lily in salty water and just stunning. Full-bottle worthy.
This is my favourite Hermes (and JC Ellena) perfume. It has a very reassuring and calming effect on me, so much so that I always bring a small bottle from the 4 pack set to sniff when I have to fly somewhere. Needless to say I hate flying but this is the perfect antidote! While it does have a prominent vanilla note it is never cloying or overbearing like other vanillas I've tried. It is very bright and clean. Like previous reviwer wrote, I also get a vision of real vanillapod seeds in a glass jar. A simply cut crystal glass with lots of cold bubbly water, early morning in a dewy spring garden where the grass and flowers have just started to grow. I love it. Any season, any time of day.
Vanille Galante is not about vanilla as the name suggests, its all about ylang. JCE managed to create a beautiful floriental that is almost a lilly soliflore. The scent is very light, transparent and refreshing at the same time, something very Ellena and reminiscent of his Un Jardin line.
Vanille Galante is very linear, all I get is Ylang and a very refined vanilla base. Muscs give a slight velvety texture to the fragrance and there's a greenish aquatic vibe that I suspect could be jasmine. What also comes to my mind is orchids, not as dark as the ones you find in Tom Ford creations like Nu edp, but a white orchid, a vanilla flower. I get a similar orchid effect here as on Nu edp but without the chocolate note and incense.
A lot of people say that this is the most feminine creation of the Hermessence line but I disagree I find it very unisex, specially if you like lily. And its also very easy to wear, cause its light and stays close to the skin, its a personal scent. I usually spray it in the interior of my shirt so I keep smelling it trough the hole day.
The composition is so etherial that it reminds me modern aldehydic florals like Nº5 Eau Premier and Iris Poudre, not that they re similar but they share lightness and elegance, they are very bright and clean, just incredibly sophisticated. My favorite from this whole line!
rate 4 ou of 5
Beautifully natural vanilla with a floral halo.
(Does it smell like fish?! I really don't know what are you talking about.)
Scroll down to the bottom and find "honeypoppyseed"... I agree with her review on this.
I went to Hermes boutique earlier and tried this. This is one of the best vanilla scents I have ever tried. Guerlain's Double Vanille? Pass. Dyptique Eau Duelle? Pass. I haven't been a big fan of Hermes but I must admit this is a masterpiece. Rich, Woody, Deep, Round, Warm and Classy.
I can't understand why it's said to be similar to fish. If it is, then it must be a gourmet fish that smells so great. Sorry, I don't smell fish at all. I would call it "Gourmand & Woody." There's one fragrance that is totally fishy, Marina de Bourbon's Acqua di Acqua Pour Homme. That is, Salty Fish.
It's been 6 hours since I tried Vanille Galante, and I can still smell it on my skin. Projection is moderate. But I think a good fragrance doesn't have to project loudly, it's just the wearer's privilege.

-Mr. Almond-
To me it smells like fish too! Rotten fish! I thought it would be a nice sweet vanilla base scent, but it was a huge dissapointment! I could smell fish right after i aplied it on my skin, gave it to my husband and it smells the same on him, i thought maybe it was spoiled, but other reviewer also said it smells like fish
I am sorry to say this, and you all can vote me off, but on me VG smells like fish ( live fish) and salty water, with a light vanilla breeze on top. It is light, unpleasant and downright shocking with the unexpected fish smell, sorry. Luckily I sampled before commiting, would have been one of my biggest blind mistakes....
This is very floraly and very little vanilla, to my nose.
Out of all the Hermessence collection. this is my least favorite. Not because its Vanilla, i dont dislike vanilla. But my least fav because it smells just that, vanilla. I was hoping Hermes Vanilla would be complex and the best vanilla ever. But it just smells like everyother vanilla fragrance. And for the price...I'd rather spend it on my fav from the collection. Vetiver Tonka, Ambre Narguile, Santal M & Poivre Sarmaconde.
Like many others, I was somewhat unpleasantly surprised by Hermès Hermessence VANILLE GALANTE upon initial application. It smelled like rank or "off" vanilla. I could not pinpoint the problem and consoled myself with the news that this relatively expensive fragrance would definitely not be going on my wishlist.
As the fragrance developed and dried down, however, I came to terms with the fact that this is not really a vanilla perfume. It's more like an orchid perfume embellished with ylang-ylang, as bizarre as that may sound. Others detect rotting banana peels or melons, so I guess that I am lucky, in the end!
Still not on my wishlist, however, even after this radical reconceptualization.
On me, this smells like a combination of banana peels + lilies + smoked wood. A little too odd for my liking.
Nice but too light. It is more floral aquatic for my nose than oriental vanilla. I don't think this scent is unique or original. And the lasting power could be better. Forgettable fragrance.
On me this smells just like the jasmine blossoms where I lived in Big Sur. I don't smell any vanilla. My mom however smelled nothing but vanilla. It's very nice, soft and spring/summer appropriate.
Stays close to the skin and lasts a few hours.
This is a very pretty vanilla on me, although I don't get a whole lot else from it. It is soft, light, sweet without being foody, and very wearable although it didn't last more than about an hour. I get just a hint of the powdery flowers and gentle spices, without actually being able to smell them. They just add a certain texture to the vanilla. I really liked it, but not enough to actually get a bottle. However, I liked it better than Guerlain's Spiritueuse Double Vanilla, which to me was just plain vanilla with no character. VG stays very vanilla, but there are scents happening under the surface that keep it interesting.
For me, this one turned out to be ripe bananas that simply would not go away until scrubbed off!
One of my treasure scent, i just hope it stay longer, it blend too well with my skin in the end. Discreet is the word.
My first thought upon applying this fragrance to my skin is that it IS boring like some of the reviews here say-yes indeed-green bamboo and melon and another simple fluid sweet vanilla...."Another vanille, another "galante"..."
Second thought: "Hmmm. A gentle pretty floral and what a well-done natural vanilla-all at once!"
I love a little bit of everything--I like a well-done heavy Oriental and a well-done fresh light floral or citrus alike.
This is a beautiful light floral and vanilla (even if just flower) all at once-not foodie even if sweet and melony. I don't feel compelled to save up for a bottle, it's not edgy or surprising in a compositional sense, as an Hermessence, an expensive and rather straightforward fragrance-but I can't imagine this failing on your skin, if these notes work for you-and if you aren't disgusted by the terms "fresh" and "light" you might be just as relaxed and invigorated as I am, you too might find the beauty of Vanille Galante with great ease. You could be bored by Vanilla Galante, but you could also stop, sigh and be soothed by it.
Stop bashing VG for not being interesting only because it is not another loud vanilla perfume. I'd say it's quite a unique and well balanced fragrance, which masterly combines three very different scents (melon, orange lily and vanilla) into one beautiful aroma and yet stays miscellaneous.
Finally, a little gemstone for floral lovers.
I can be a fan of vanilla scents if they aren't too fake smelling or too sweet. I used to have this french vanilla perfume that I just adored but this particular scent does nothing for me. It is forgettable and in my opinion, not even very "vanilla scented". I feel that this perfume would be suited better for someone a bit more mature.
I would forget this one.
Vanille galante smells of vanilla flower, not the vanilla spice we put into the cakes.
The scent is very light floral. It is truly not oriental vanilla. In the top notes I can smell green bamboo, then some watery melon and flower notes come into play. The base is also very very light.
I would suggest this fragrance for people who like fresh and light flowery fragrances. As for me, this scent is boring...
To me Hermessence Vanille Galante came as a surprise-I got it as a gift with an Hermes scarf I bought and almost instantly was taken back to childhood and innocence.
It feels definitely feminine to me-unisex, in my opinion does not apply to it.
Vanilla has a softer presence in it-if I didn't know it was the only ingredient, I would say there are traces of spring wild flowers and some cherry blossom in it.
It is definitely richer than the mono-expectation of vanilla.
The only downside is that it doesn't last long...
Just like childhood.
Sweet overripe melon. Melon and nothing more. Nice sandalwood notes in base, but where almost no odor.
I can't believe it. What dissapointment... Sharp lilly, rough carnation, ephemeral vanilla at the very end of the base, just before fading away ... Nothing I expected of a gallant vanilla.
I feel really sad.
From the first moment when I smell I fall in love !!!
It`s a magical fragance...so rich and tender..but also resist many hours in the skin !!!
Vanille Galante makes me happy !
It´s like a golden drops from heaven!!! I recommended
It´s a fantastical fragance !!!
So gorgeus an glamorous.
It´s was a love in a first time!!!
Although the fragrance notes say its purely vanilla, it doesn't smell like it is. There is some spice and floral (honeysuckle or lily maybe?).
This plays in to the whole niche perfume category, and just as I would recommend that one invest in a floral and amber/musk that they love in order to alter, warm, lighten, brighten up any fragrance they own, I similarly believe one needs a vanilla. This is the one. It's deep. It's thick. it's rich. It's like the finest treated leather. It's like a fur throw.
My mother turned me on to this fragrance and it's beautiful on its own for a young woman through until her golden years (my grandmother is also a huge fan). It's great on it's own, and great to mix. It's strong, it's warm. It's very comforting. I feel at peace and serene when I wrap myself in this.
What Hermes managed to do for the orange, is what it is doing here for vanilla.

Help me decide on a sport/parkflyer
I am looking at two different models for my next plane.
One is the E-Flite Taylorcraft 450. And the other is the Mini Pulse xt. I have had the Mini Pulse before and liked the way it flew. The T craft I like the looks of but have not flown one. Most of the time I fly at the airport in Holdenville where we hold the Dustbowl Fly In for MS. So either would be fine there. But I also have access to 14 acres of open land at a friends place. Part of that is mowed. My question is which it better off grass? Or is there something better? One hitch in the giddyup is that base and final on landing approaches is made over trees and his hanger. Comments? Suggestions? |
I've never had the Pulse but have had 3, 4? TC's. Never had to try it on grass. I doubt the factory tires would be grass friendly. I replaced factory with 1.75" Dubros and I'm not sure even those would work very well on grass. I guess it depends on type/length and how much power the bird has. One thing I would do is to run the 480 or equivilent in the TC. I use the Motrolfly 2215/1150 kv behind a 9x6 APC on a 3s/2200/25c and have a fair amount of power. FWIW, if you build the TC, you don't have to join the wings together. I've been flying mine as a two piece for a LONG time. Just add a second dowel in the front and an alignment pin near the trailing edge. Be sure to use the struts tho. HTH a little bit..
Dan |
I was figuring either plane I would be going with taller wheels. How is the slowflight of the Taylorcraft? At my friends place I have plenty of room for take off and climb out. But less for approach
I am debating also on how much motor I will use. I don't care about speed. But more power I know would be good for grass field ops. And of course helps with climb. |
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=748841 If I remember right, the Eflite 450 motor will windmill with power off, not sure about the 480 since I never owned one. IF you get a TC, you should trim the battery hatch a tad on the backside to let a 2200 pack slide in. Hard landings will spread the LG & crack the paint. Reinforce the LG framing a little bit and triple check/reglue all glued areas in the front. CA or Gorilla glue. Some of these are lacking due to drying out/shipping/storage. HTH.. Dan |
Here's what most did to allow install of a 3s 2100/2200 size pack. This isn't 'required' but makes it much easier to slide the packs in. I have no idea how people are running smaller packs and getting CG. My 2170's & 2200's set as far forward as possible and CG is spot on. They bump up against the interior framing. My ESC isn't secured anywhere, I just let it flop around and have never had an issue. Because it's loose, it takes 2 seconds to hook up/unhook. There's no fighting the connectors.
I also run HS-65's thru out. Never had a failure like the HS-55's did. You can also see where the paint is cracked on the LG due to a hard landing. My power/prop setup works perfect and isn't under/over powered for my type of flying. I do some loops/rolls/stalls kind of stuff but that's about it. I've started practicing slipping the bird in for landings but it's not very pretty as of yet. About 1 in 20 look decent. The rest are scary. I can land on two wheels and go down the entire 400' of the runway on the main gear. I've actually run the tread completely off my Dubro tires. I probably fly this bird more then anything else because it's so docile and just plain pretty in the air. It will handle some wind but landings are touchy because the plane is so light. It does get bounced around in the air. I don't use any mixing nor flaperons even though I have them set up. I have plenty of glow/gas & other electrics if I want to hammer the air and just go nuts. I honestly don't know of anyone that doesn't love this bird if they own it. Dan |

Charlie HustonAlready DeadCharlie HustonAlready DeadQUALITY PAPERBACK
UPC: 9780345478245Release Date: 12/27/2005
LIST PRICE: $15.00 (you save $4.50)
Those stories you hear? The ones about things that only come out at night? Things that feed on blood, feed on us? Got news for you: they're true. Only it's not like the movies or old man Stoker's storybook. It's worse. Especially if you happen to be one of them. Just ask Joe Pitt.
There's a shambler on the loose. Some fool who got himself infected with a flesh-eating bacteria is lurching around, trying to munch on folks' brains. Joe hates shamblers, but he's still the one who has to deal with them. That's just the kind of life he has. Except afterlife might be better word. From the Battery to the Bronx, and from river to river, Manhattan is crawling with Vampyres. Joe is one of them, and he's not happy about it. Yeah, he gets to be stronger and faster than you, and he's tough as nails and hard to kill. But spending his nights trying to score a pint of blood to feed the Vyrus that's eating at him isn't his idea of a good time. And Joe doesn't make it any easier on himself. Going his own way, refusing to ally with the Clans that run the undead underside of Manhattan–it ain't easy. It's worse once he gets mixed up with the Coalition–the city's most powerful Clan–and finds himself searching for a poor little rich girl who's gone missing in Alphabet City. Now the Coalition and the girl's high-society parents are breathing down his neck, anarchist Vampyres are pushing him around, and a crazy Vampyre cult is stalking him. No time to complain, though. Got to find that girl and kill that shambler before the whip comes down . . . and before the sun comes up. Praise for Charlie Huston |

LAMBERTVILLE — One person was taken to an area hospital after two semi-tractor trailers collided in the southbound lanes of U.S. 23, just north of the Ohio-Michigan border, authorities said.
The crash happened around 4 a.m. Thursday near exit 3.
One of the tractor trailers began to experience "mechanical difficulties" and was rear-ended by a second truck, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
The name of the driver taken to the hospital — and where he was being treated — was not available.
Traffic is being detoured off of U.S. 23 at exit 3 to Consear Road and back on the highway at the Sterns Road exit for clean up.
Authorities said there is a significant amount of debris because one of the trucks caught fire.
The driver who rear-ended the other truck was cited, authorities said.

Softball notes: Carew Classic highlights schedule
Annually regarded as one of the most-loaded softball showcases on the West Coast, the Michelle Carew Classic begins Wednesday morning at Peralta Park in Anaheim.
No. 2 Pacifica highlights a 32-team field that is overflowing with talent. The Mariners are the two-time defending tournament champions, having defeated Yorba Linda in the final a season ago.
The fifth-ranked Mustangs are also back in this year's field along with fellow top-10 county teams Esperanza (No. 3) and Canyon (No. 9).
"All the great players come through here," said tournament director and former Canyon coach Lance Eddy. "I watch the College Softball World Series, and I'm always seeing girls who played at the Carew Classic when they were in high school. That's what's so fun about it — you see so many great players."
While not local, Johanna Grauer of Amador Valley in Pleasanton is a player in this year's tournament to keep an eye on. The UCLA commit was named California's junior of the year in 2013 after posting a 22-2 record to go along with 274 strikeouts and a 0.08 ERA.
Amador Valley is 7-0 this season with Grauer winning every game in the circle. The senior is averaging more than 11 strikeouts a game, and she has yet to surrender an earned run.
No county school would see Amador Valley until Friday's third-round games. If Amador Valley were to advance, either Kennedy or Canyon could have a shot at Grauer and the Dons.
Esperanza against Pacifica is another intriguing third-round matchup that could come to fruition if both teams win Wednesday and Thursday.
The Carew Classic wraps up Saturday evening. Semifinal games are set for 1 p.m., and the championship finale starts at 7:30 p.m. The semifinals and final will be played at Peralta Park.
• Minus the local schools playing in the Carew and Woodbridge Classics this week, league play officially begins today for the remainder of the county. ...
• The Trinity League opener between No. 6 Mater Dei and Santa Margarita highlights today's slate of games.
The Monarchs dropped three straight last week — to North Torrance, Marina and Capistrano Valley — before getting a win over Fountain Valley on Saturday.
Santa Margarita (12-4) has won five in a row and would love nothing more than to pull off the upset to open league. Sarah Cwiertnia (.528 average) and Jenna Cone (.531 average) need to produce for Santa Margarita to top the Monarchs. ...
• Another Trinity League school to keep an eye on is JSerra. The Lions have a 7-6 overall record, but they erupted at the plate last week.
JSerra scored 32 runs in a win over Laguna Beach on Thursday. Kaitlyn Reis went 5 for 5 in the win, with a solo home run and a grand slam. She finished the game with 10 RBI. ...
• On Thursday, No. 7 Dana Hills (10-3) will host top-ranked Mission Viejo (13-0) in a South Coast League battle.
The Diablos have looked unstoppable in nonleague games, but the Dolphins have found their form. Dana Hills has won four straight over quality opponents (Aliso Niguel, No. 3 Esperanza, No. 8 Huntington Beach and Edison).
Mission Viejo has not taken the field last since this past Wednesday when it defeated Los Alamitos, 5-0.

The Italian held his nerve over the remainder of the course to claim the first bullet of the day, and more importantly his first ever elimination victory on the PWA World Tour. In the meantime Julien Quentel (RRD / NeilPryde) claimed second place as he held off Cyril Moussilmani (Starboard / Severne) and Matteo Iachino (F2 / Challenger Sails / AL360), who finished in third and fourth place respectively. However, Ben van der Steen (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic / Different) was left unhappy after an altercation with Angulo at the third mark, which resulted in the flying Dutchman finishing in eighth place. The second winners' final of the day witnessed a combination of dropping winds and premature starts, which led to numerous re-sails - Antoine Albeau (RRD / NeilPryde), Finian Maynard (RRD / Avanti) and Pieter Bijl (Angulo / NeilPryde) were all disqualified from the final having all jumped the gun, leaving just the remaining five sailors to battle it out for top honors. In the final showdown, Cyril Moussilmani made the best start, but before entering the first gybe he sailed into Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Point-7) which saw Moussilmani drop from first to last, whilst Menegatti found himself outside the top four with both sailors having to radically readjust their sailing line to make the buoy. Antoine Questel (Starboard / Loft Sails) took full advantage, having avoided the carnage, to burst into the lead and by the end of the race he had built a substantial advantage over his closest rival Cyril Moussilmani, who made a fantastic recovery. Menegatti also staged a comeback as he claimed third, with Ludovic Jossin (Patrik / Loft Sails) and Micah Buzianis (JP / MauiSails) finishing in fourth and fifth place respectively. Tristan Algret (Patrik / Loft Sails / Mystic) threw away a golden opportunity to qualify for the semifinals after dropping his gybe at the third buoy, which enabled Cyril Moussilmani to leapfrog Algret and claim the final qualifying place from heat nine. Jordy Vonk (Patrik / Loft Sails) - on the other hand - enjoyed a terrific and memorable day as he qualified for his debut semifinal. This time around the Dutchman couldn't secure his place in the winners' final, but he is looking like a name to look out for over the coming years. In the losers' final Vonk was left slightly disappointed after slipping off his board exiting a gybe whilst in fourth place, but overall, today will still stand as a memorable day for the twenty year old. The fourth elimination was started in the evening and the opening heats of the first round were completed. However, in those four heats they has already been a couple of major upsets as Ben van der Steen and Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard / Severne / Chris Benz / Dunkerbeck Eyewear) both took uncharacteristically early exits from the first round.
Sarah-Quita Offringa picked up exactly where she left off from - after her victory in the opening elimination - as she led from start to finish with an accomplished display in elimination two. Valerie Arrighetti (Tabou / Gaastra / Mystic) was pushed all the way by Ayako Suzuki (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic), but the reigning world champion eventually pulled away to claim second place, with Suzuki in third. Karin Jaggi (Patrik / Severne) started well but eventually had to settle for fourth place. The second winners' final of the day started under dramatic circumstances as Sarah-Quita Offringa and Valerie Arrighetti collided on the start line, however both women made quick recoveries, but not quite quick enough, as Delphine Cousin (JP / NeilPryde) held the lead into the first mark with Cagla Kubat (Starboard / Loft Sails) and Melek Toraman (Starboard / Loft Sails) just behind as Offringa and Arrighetti approached in fourth and fifth place. Cousin looked confident in the lead and it wasn't long until the young French lady was claiming victory - as she mounts a serious challenge for the world title - ahead of local hero Kubat and Offringa - who eventually fought her way back to third - with Dilara Uralp (JP / NeilPryde) producing a great performance to clinch fourth.

NEW YORK—According to the exciting newspaper stories these days, it looks as though there must be trouble within the Soviet Union. Otherwise they would not be accepting the Polish insistence on independence in the way they are evidently being forced to do.
One cannot help feeling that the Soviets' acceptance of President Tito and his regime has been a very encouraging sign to the other satellite countries. Now the Hungarians seem to be following the Poles, and there is not much doubt that there will be support in Western countries for this kind of move in the satellite nations toward independence. They may continue to be Communist nations, but it will be their own kind of Communism—which is, after all, the pattern Tito established in Yugoslavia.
This whole situation puts a new complexion on the possibility that Western Germany and Eastern Germany may decide to unite without asking anybody's permission. This will, of course, be weighed in the light of whether the Soviet Union can use force to prevent it. Yet it will certainly be a temptation and perhaps an incentive to the West and East Germans to work together to try to find a way of joining. This may make a tremendous change in the whole European situation.
As I read the carefully prepared statement of the President's advisers in answer to Adlai Stevenson, I could not help having a feeling that here was a willingness to accept the philosophy of standing still. If you cannot even move forward at a moment like this, with an agreement on the H-bomb, then how are you ever going to move forward, since we have been pressing for inspection for a long time without any success.
The President's statement noted that there was fallout from other nuclear weapons. Perhaps in time we will be faced with the problem of whether we should stop all tests. But in the meantime the one to be considered the most dangerous is the H-bomb, knowledge of which is shared with us by the Soviet Union. If we know that we risk extinction of our own people and the whole human race, they know that they risk the extinction of their own people also, as well as the whole human race. The strongest instinct in human nature is self-preservation; and that may be more of an incentive than anything else could be to live up to an agreement if they enter into it.
Just in case any of my readers are going over their Christmas lists, I want to mention a particularly interesting cookbook which might be a nice gift at Christmas time for one's friends. It is called "Look Who's Cooking," costs $2.15 and can be purchased from the Women's National Press Club, Washington, D.C. It is interesting reading, as well as a guide to interesting eating, for every recipe has a story attached to it. I will not say that you will find only recipes of a nice thinning variety, but you will certainly find recipes which in anticipation will make your mouth water.

Restricting child's play is Fair Housing violation
I live in a condominium complex, and we have several owners that have small children who play outside and make noise. There are owners trying to eliminate the children from playing in and around the complex. They are calling them obnoxious and nuisances under a CC& R's rule. They want to limit where and when they can play. Can they do this? I don't see children as being obnoxious or nuisances when they are merely playing.
K.W., San Diego
Rules cracking down on children are not only a bad idea, they violate state and federal Fair Housing Laws. "Familial status" discrimination includes restricting children, and is illegal.
Question for your homeowners association: Would it be OK if adults pursued the same activities and made the same noise? Probably not. So if a rule is needed, it should be focusing upon the behavior and not the age of the person engaging in the behavior.
Except where very specific safety considerations are involved – such as the pool area, the recreation building or the gym – rules mentioning kids are most likely going to violate Fair Housing laws. For more information, visit the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing at dfeh.ca.gov or the federal department of Housing and Urban Development at hud.gov.
I know an association is required to have a full onsite reserve study prepared every three years by a third party, but is an association legally required to hire a third party to complete the reserve study updates which the board is required to "review" annually in between the every-third-year full study?
Can the board update it themselves based on the last onsite study conducted by the third party?
A.B. (professional manager), Rancho Mirage
Civil Code 5550 requires most common interest developments to have a "reserve study" every three years, examining the major components that the association maintains and repairs. The statute does not specifically state that the study must be prepared by a professional, but the requirements of the statute are such that it is a rare association board that would be justified in trying to prepare such a study "in-house" with volunteers. The study must include replacement cost estimations, and an assessment of the current condition and expected remaining life of common area components. So it is difficult to imagine a volunteer who is both qualified and willing to take on the responsibility.
The statute also says the "board shall review this study, or cause it to be reviewed, annually …" to see if any adjustments need to be made. This certainly would indicate that the annual reviews could be performed either by the board or by a qualified professional. Ask your reserve study preparer to help train the board how to conduct the annual reviews, unless the cost is sufficiently modest that it is acceptable.
In California, reserve study preparers are not regulated. However, the Community Associations Institute has the "Reserve Specialist" credential – confirm your reserve study preparer has it. Also, for free general information, visit CAI's Research Foundation at cairf.org and download its free "Best Practices" report on reserve studies.

Michelle Williams transformed herself into the icon in My Week with Marilyn and you can too!
-PJ Gach
Marilyn Monroe's platinum blonde hair, black eyeliner and attitude has become an archetype of sensual beauty. 50s star Jayne Mansfield and Sheree North copied her style. As have Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Scarlett Johansson and Madonna.
Let's face it; Marilyn's look is pretty amazing! If you got a chance to see Michelle Williams light up the screen in My Week with Marilyn, or have always wanted to try out this style, after all, holiday parties are coming up, we've got tips from L'Oréal Paris Consulting Makeup Artist, Collier Strong on how to do it right. Before you do add makeup, think skin care first. Your skin is your canvas, so treat it right. The real Marilyn used the Erno Lazlo pHormula 3-9 product ($195, nordstrom.com) to keep her skin camera-ready. In fact, the Erno Laszlo team has the actual products from her estate in their office!
Collier says, "Lashes, liner and lips are essential for this classic look." So start with the eyes.
1. Do a bold "drawn on" liner to create a sexy cat eye. Start at the inner corners of the eye and gradually thicken the line as you get just past the center of the lid and continue outwards just past the lash line and gently bring the line to a point horizontally with the lash line and slightly curved upward.

2. Eye shadow is optional with this look—if you feel you need, it just use a neutral shade in the crease.
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional eye shadow single in Golden Sunset 820, Perle ($4.79, drugstore.com)
3. Then finish the eye with a few generous coats of L'Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes mascara ($8.00, walgreens.com).
4. And the perfect complement to this eye is a bold lip using L'Oréal Paris Infallible Le Rouge. You might want to try Ravishing Red lipstick shade($7.99, drugstore.com).
