The Product:
I have seen the DKNY Be Delicious Green Apple frequently advertised on TV, and I finally decided to purchase it. The adverts portrayed the scent as being very fruity and fresh, the kind that you would want to use in a large city to stand out of the crowd. I decided to put that to the test.
The Scent:
This perfume has a very strong, fruity scent, and it actually does smell of apple. I think this scent would be very good for young women because of its rather strong appearance. It lasts for a very long time, which is definitely a plus, but it may become a bit too heavy for some people. I must admit that sometimes I have even experienced slight headaches if I applied a lot of the perfume at once. It is definitely a very summer-y scent, as it is a bit too sharp for the winter.
The Packaging:
The DKNY Be Delicious Green Apple is packaged in a container that is shaped like an apple, with the top part being silver and the bottom part green. I like how the green part is transparent, as it makes the packaging look a lot more appealing. However, I must admit that it is not very practical to use. The button to dispense the liquid is located at the top of the packaging, so you have to hold the entire bottle in your hand in order to actually dispense the product. It might be rather difficult to use if you have small hands.
Overall judgement:
Normally, this product would sell for around £30 for a 100ml bottle, which I believe is relatively good value for money, as the product would last for a long time due to its sharp scent (you will not need to use a lot of it at once). I rate this product as good, and I would recommend it to others, unless you are not a fan of strong fruity scents.
The DKNY Be Delicious Eau de Parfum is available for GBP 36.50.
The Eau de Parfum is described as follows. "DKNY Be Delicious Women is a fresh, sophisticated fragrance from the heart of New York City. Be Delicious opens with crisp and edgy top notes including American Apple, crisp Green Cucumber and sparkling Grapefruit. The middle notes are sweet and sinful with Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose and Violet. In the base, Sandalwood and White Amber round out the scent with an innocent and sexy appeal."
A crisp top notes of grapefruit, cucumber and Magnolia encounters a juicy-sweet heart notes of apple, lily of the valley, rose, tuberose and violet, framed by base notes of woods and white amber. A scent of smells extremely fresh, green and fruity. A fragrance that reflects the fast pace of New York's success grace and dynamism symbolizes. The freshness of this fragrance would almost a unisex fragrance meet, if not quite an easy chords of exotic flowers would give a very fine feminine undertone. This combination of tangy apple, citrus fruits, flowers and woody accents gives a whole new, very modern fragrance composition that is so far in this form a novelty! This fragrance is both easier than to describe other scents, as the apple shisha is very dominant, the other hand also a lot harder. If one were to be limited to terse description of an apple, you would do this scent very wrong. The fragrance is very fresh and light, it has a slightly woody, bitter note, which he directly acting sexy and wicked again. I too have had the experience that the scent evaporates relatively easily, and I might need to spray again at noon. However one takes the scent true to himself. The scent is very light and not very intrusive, so you can use it any time of day and occasion.
DKNY Be Delicious is an Eau de Parfum which is available in a 30ml bottle priced at £36.50, or a 50ml bottle priced at £48.50.
My thoughts
The bottle is kind of weird and unique in that it's shaped like an apple, but it's not the prettiest or most interesting design and certainly not one of my favourites. It looks ok, but I think the green colour puts me off a bit, the red one and some of the others look a lot nicer than this one to me.
The fragrance is described as a fresh, sophisticated fragrance which celebrates individuality with refreshing spirit, like the city that inspired it. I don't really agree entirely with this description. The scent is certainly fresh and refreshing, but I wouldn't say it's sophisticated.
The top notes are Amercian green apple, cucumber and grapefruit, the mid notes are magnolia, tuberose, white muguet, rose and violet, and the base notes are sandalwood and white amber. The overall fragrance is a very sweet but fresh and juicy one, with the fresh, fruity top notes and the violet being most noticeable to me.
This is a fragrance that I would only wear in the day time as it's quite light and fresh, and I prefer a warmer, more seductive type of scent for evening wear. Despite the lightness of it it does have a very chemical feel which easily gives me a headache, though I am more sensitive to chemical perfumes than most people.
Only one of 2 sprays of this is needed, and in fact any more than that and you risk smelling like a teenager using cheap perfume for the first time due to the sweetness, which is generally not what one aims for! It isn't a perfume that would suit all ages, I'd say anyone over say, 40, should steer well clear as it does not suit the older lady at all.
It is a long lasting scent, and the scent after just one or 2 sprays in the morning will linger for a good 12 hours both on the skin and on clothes.
This is a decent scent, but it's my least favourite of the Be Delicious range. I find it a little too sweet and immature, but it is long lasting, so if that's your type of scent then I'd recommend it.
I got this fragrance as part of a duo pack which also included the DKNY Be Delicious Red. The two fragrances came in separate boxes, which were packed together and each bottle was a fairly small 30 ml. I paid £30 for the pack, which even accounting for the small bottles, I thought was good value. It is not often that you get a bottle of perfume for £15, especially one that is by a designer.
The fragrance comes in a round bottle which is shaped presumably to look like an apple, as is the same with all of the fragrances in the Be Delicious range. It has a silver top with a button on that you press down on to squirt the perfume out. The bottle is nice enough and a little bit unique, but it is not a show stopper that you'll want to have displayed on your dressing table. The button can also be quite hard to press down and I tend to find that I have to use two hands to do so, which is a bit of a pain when you are trying to spray it on your wrists!
Be Delicious has top notes of American Apple, crisp Green Cucumber and sparkling Grapefruit. The middle notes are Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose and Violet. And the base notes are Sandalwood and White Amber. I was surprised to read about so many flowery notes running throughout the fragrance actually because the overwhelming thing that I get from it is apples and not much else. It sort of smells like those rosy apple boiled sweets that you used to get from your local sweet shop. It is indeed very fruity and I really don't get much else from it to be honest.
It does smell quite fresh and light, but very sweet (probably from all those apples) and it is a little bit too much for me personally, I am not a big fan. I think it smells a bit too immature for me really and would be much better suited to a teenager or someone in their early to mid twenties at the most. I would also say that it is a summery fragrance rather than a winter or all year round one because it does put you in mind of fruit salads on warm days.
The staying power of the fragrance seems to be quite good, but maybe that is because I am not all that fond of it so it lingers quite a bit! It is very strong.
Overall I would say that it is a good value fragrance, but just not one that I like particularly.
I got this as a gift for my birthday a long time ago. I have been using it ever since but not regularly because I like to mix it up a bit by wearing different fragrances. I love this smell it is very distinct to other perfumes out there and you can not mistake it for anything else. Whenever I wear this I get a lot of compliments and those who aren''t close with me always ask what fragrance I''m wearing. It''s definitely long lasting but it is quite strong. So for those of you who do not like the stronger smelling perfumes this is probably not it. To be honest another reason why I do not wear this regularly is because it gives me headache due to its strong scent. I like the shape of the bottle because it is different and not like other perfume bottle out there. This perfume is definitely a winner as it is so recognisable and durable.
I had some money left over on my flight home from my holiday and decided to spend it after browsing the in flight magazine. I chose to buy the DKNY Be Delicious perfume.
About the fragrance
The perfume promises to be light and refreshing, and perfect for day wear. It has been inspired by New York city with an edgy, crisp and sophisticated aroma. It claims to be both innocent and sexy, fresh and fun.
The perfume has a both fruity and floral top notes. It has the sharp and juicy aroma of apple and grapefruit and the floral scent of Magnolia. At the heart of the fragrance is a combination of the floral scents of Rose and Lily of the Valley. The base notes add some warmth and depth to the fragrance which is brought by Amber, Musk and Sandalwood.
Packaging and Price
The fragrance has been packaged to resemble a rather shiny apple. The product is rounded in shape. The bottom half is where the perfume is contained and it is a green tinged glass through which you can partially see the perfume. The top half is shiny and metallic. You push down on the silver part to dispense the fragrance so it doesn't have a lid as such. The packaging makes it look like you get a lot more perfume than you actually do.
The perfume will cost you around £30 for 30 ml. Larger bottles are available although these will cost more. The perfume can be bought from stores such as Boots, fragrance stores and also from a range of online websites.
My experience
One of the main problems with buying this on an aeroplane is that I didn't get the chance to try it before buying it. When I opened the fragrance, I really did like the packaging. I thought it was eye catching and interesting, and it looks nice on display. The product is easy to dispense although the shape does make it a little more difficult to grip and hold than other perfumes.
When you push down on the top of the bottle, a few amount of the perfume is released so only two pushes are needed in order to get the desired results. It comes out as a stream rather than a mist but it doesn't mark or stain my clothes. The aroma of this perfume is fresh an crisp as promised. It is fruity rather than floral although a you can detect some of the included flowers on the edge. The musk give the fragrance a slight warmth but you can't smell any of the bottom notes predominantly.
The fragrance is evident and strong but in a light way. Those close to you will notice it but it would over power people or fill a room in the way that some fragrances can. The fragrance becomes quite sickly to me after a while and although it is a pleasant and generally nice aroma, it doesn't do it for me. It is definitely a day fragrance and it is also probably one that is better suited to the summer. The fragrance is long lasting and it sticks around for the day. The perfume is gentle on the skin and it hasn't caused me to experience any irritations.
All in all, this is a inoffensive and pleasant fragrance that is nice for summer days. It is refreshing and subtly fruity but it gets too sickly for me even though it is no way over powering. The packaging is pretty and the results are long lasting but this one doesn't get used much by me. My advice would be to try before you buy. I don't love this perfume but I don't hate it either so I'm giving it three stars.
This is the last of my perfumes that I own that I am going to review but is actually the perfume brand that I have used for the longest. I first bought it several years ago when I was quite new to wearing perfumes and since then have re-bought several new bottles to keep myself stocked up.
The name of the perfume "be delicious" is a reference to the delicious brand of apple and the first thing that attracted me to try the perfume was the bottle. It is a sleek round shape just like an apple with the bottom half made of clear glass though which you can see the sparkly green colour of the perfume and the top half a shiny silver. The spray for the perfume is cleverly integrated into the silver top so all you need to do is press down on it without taking off a lid at all which is really convenient. The whole of the packaging makes reference to the apple shape and it has not become quite iconic now although it was very new when it was first produced.
The perfume is very light and fresh and smells just like fresh crisp apples when you first take a bite out of them.
The full ingredients are:
Top notes of American Apple, crisp Green Cucumber and sparkling Grapefruit.
Middle notes of Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose and Violet
Base notes of Sandalwood and White Amber.
On spraying the perfume I like the fact that a reasonable amount is dispersed from the spray meaning that I don't have to use more than one spray. The scent is immediately obvious and the first impression is of the sparkly apple and other fruit scents. However once it is on my skin it tends to settle down a bit and become a softer as some of the floral scents and base notes come through.
I love this perfume and think it is a very fun perfume, which is suitable for daytime wear and probably suits younger people more. I must admit I wear it less now I am older although I still like to use it occasionally. It really does smell delicious like you want to eat it.
The perfume is long lasting on your skin and I find that it lasts most of the day once I have used it. When I wear it I find that it is immediately uplifting and it makes me smile which is a good tonic on any day!
Since it was first launched several different versions of the perfume have been produced and there is currently a version with a designer art design on the lid. The standard Eau de Parfum 30ml costs about £35 and can be bought from all perfume retailers including Boots, The Perfume Shop and department stores.
I would really recommend this perfume if you are looking for something fresh and fruity that is a fun and young style of scent. Just remember not to eat it!
A couple of years ago, my mum brought me Golden Delicious for Christmas, since then, she has brought me some more from the Delicious range, this being the most recent.
The fragrance comes in three different sizes, 30ml which retails at around £35, 50ml which retails at around £48 and 100ml which retails at around £67. I always try to buy gift sets as it always works out better value for money - Especially as these tend to get reduced in the January sales.
The design of the bottle is quite unique, shaped just like an apple and I cannot think of anything else on the market like it. The spray is quite powerful - by that I mean that quite a lot comes out (not like a mist), I also find it quite hard to position the bottle to get the 'stray' at the right angle due to the shape of the bottle.
According to Basenotes.com, the fragrance smells a follows:
Top Notes - Grapefruit, Cucumber, Magnolia
Middle Notes - Apple, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose, Violet
Base Notes - White Amber, Woods
Up until Christmas, I had never smelt this before, so was a bit dubious at first as I have quite different taste to my mum and was worried it would be something she likes rather than what I like but I was actually quite pleased with her choice.
I find it really fresh, upon first spray; I can really smell the cucumber fused with magnolia which I love and I think it gives it that real summer feel. As the day wears on, I can detect a nice juicy apple aroma with a hint of warm amber. I have received loads of compliments when wearing this which I always find as a good sign.
The Delicious range is quite strong and you don't need to spray too much, several hours after spraying the fragrance is still quite strong and I have never found that I have reapply throughout the day.
In the same range, there are also body lotions and shower gels, I always like to apply my fragrance on top of a body lotion from the same range as I find it gives the perfume better staying power and also, I don't need to apply as much to get the same aroma.
Overall, despite my 'spraying issues', I love the design of the bottle and the fragrance therefore I would recommend it and give it 5 out of 5 stars.
Thanks for reading.
I love picking up new bottles of perfume to try out and as a wee treat. In the summer time, I picked up a bottle of the DKNY Be Delicious perfume in Debenhams as I had a little sniff at the tester in store and really loved the fragrance.
The Bottle
The bottle from this perfume is quite cool, it is shaped as an apple an is green in colour with a silver top. The spray works by pushing down the middle of the top of the apple down and which is quite handy and looks great. This apple also has a Be Delicious sticker marking on it, that reminds me of apples in the store, I think that this is quite a nice touch and is just a little extra bit of detail. I think that this bottle looks rather professional and it looks well sitting in my room. Also because the bottle looks so nice, it makes it a lovely looking present to give to someone on a special occasion.
Top Notes
Apple, Grapefruit, Magnolia
Heart Notes
Violet, Rose, Tuberose, Lily-of-the-Valley
Base Notes
Sandalwood, White Amber, Blonde Woods
What I Thought
I really liked this perfume, it has the fresh, clean scent that I expected with a DKNY fragrance and it is has a fruity apple scent and also has subtle hints of floral tones as well.
I think that this is a really different scent, it is zingy, sophisticated yet really feminine and it makes me feel really good when I am wearing it. I would say that this scent is really rich smelling and I would usually keep my bottle to use for nights out and special occasions.
I really like that this scent has really good staying power, it can smell a little strong when it has been first applied, but it develops into a really lovely fragrance quite quickly and lingers nicely throughout the day.
I have been given lots of complements while I was wearing this perfume, my fiancé especially likes it and also my sisters and work colleagues have pass comments on how nice it smells.
This perfume doesn't set off my migraines, it isn't too overpowering or sickening and I have not had any problems when wearing it. This is great as I can sometimes have problems with strong perfumes triggering my headaches.
Price and Availability
You can pick up a bottle of the perfume in Debenhams for around £35-£60 depending on which bottle size you buy, I originally bought the smaller bottle, but next time I will buy the bigger one as I like it so much and know I will get the use out of it. Sometimes Debenhams do special %% off days, so it is a good idea to keep an eye out for this one around sale time.
I think that this is a fantastic perfume and love how different and feminine it smells. It isn't too expensive for the smaller bottle and it lasts ages and has really good longevity when sprayed. Overall I would give this perfume 5 out of 5 stars.

I originally got this DKNY Be Delicious perfume for Christmas a few years ago, and ever since then I have been a fan of the fragrance, and for the price it is welcome addition to my perfume collection.
The perfume was originally released in 2004, so since then the price has thankfully gone down somewhat. The perfume can be purchased from any outlets, however I usually purchase mine from my local Boots store. I opt for the 15ml sized bottle and that sells for around £15. It comes in larger sizes including a 30 ml bottle (£20) and a 50 ml (£30) bottle. I personally think that the price is quite reasonable compared to other highly expensive perfumes on the market.
The perfume comes in a simple box packaging, with a brown colour scheme. The box packaging although simple, manages to still make the perfume look sophisticated and more expensive than it is.
The perfume liquid comes inside a glass perfume bottle, which is in a shape of an apple. I personally love the design of the perfume; it makes it look unique and refreshing. The top half of the apple shape is made of silver mental and consists of the perfume lid, and below the lid the glass is coloured a light transparent green colour; again illustrating the design of the apple fruit.

The perfume has a very nice sweet scent, which at first spray can be a little overpowering. However after a minute the overpowering scent is replaced by the different sweet and fruity elements of the perfume. I was a little bit surprised with the fragrance, as the apple scent was not as noticeable as I originally thought it would be (considering the actual perfume bottle is shaped as an apple!), however it is still fruity and fresh smelling.
After a few minutes the flowery ingredient become more potent and as a result makes the perfume smell like a nice summery day at a fruit garden, making it a nice warm and attractive perfume to wear at anytime.
I noticed that after a few hours the fragrance would start to wear off quite considerably, some of the fruity aspects were still somewhat noticeable, however it was less sweet and less flowery than before. This was a little bit of a let down, as it meant I had to reapply the perfume. On a positive note, when applying the perfume I only needed a very small amount as this held the right amount of fragrance to make it just right and not over powering, meaning that reapplying it again after 3 or 4 hours kind of balances it out.
The 15ml sized bottle, actually surprisingly lasts me quite a while. It can take me 6 or 7 months to get through the bottle, but that is only because I do not use it everyday and only tend to use it at special occasions.
Overall I really like this fragrance, its nice and sweet and has elements of flowery and fruity scents combined to make a very pleasant smelling perfume. It is reasonably priced and come in a nice attractive designed bottle. The only downside is that it is not as long lasting as I would have liked, and that the apple scent is not that noticeable. Apart from that I would recommend this perfume.
CK One has been my perfume of choice since the late 1990s, and as a creature of habit I have never really been bothered about trying out other perfumes so I've stuck with it. However, I do occasionally spray the odd perfume on in department stores and the like when out and about. I tried this DKNY Be Delicious perfume whilst at Manchester airport before our trip to Tunisia last September. It was very early in the morning, but I was in an excitable holiday mood and came back to my boyfriend (who was attempting to get some sleep on a bench) to tell him I'd found a gorgeous perfume and to ask him if he liked it. He didn't seem very impressed, but I think that was because he was half asleep!
Although I didn't buy any perfume then and there as I was unsure whether I really wanted to take the plunge, I did continue to test this perfume when I was out shopping, and eventually added it to my Amazon wishlist and dropped very unsubtle hints that went somewhere along the lines of "if you still haven't got any idea what to get me for Christmas, I'd like some of that perfume I tried at the airport!" Sure enough, on Christmas day there was a bottle of perfume along with a gorgeous Pandora necklace - my boyfriend did well for our first Christmas together!
---The Packaging/bottle---
The perfume comes in a brown card box with a yellow line around it. It says "DKNY - Donna Karan New York" on it, and a little oval (that looks like a sticker you'd find on an apple) saying "DKNY BE DELICIOUS - 100% Pure New York". Ingredients are written on the box with a warning that the perfume is flammable - personally I feel perfume is too expensive to set on fire! There are other fragrances in the range such as Fresh Blossom and Red Delicious which I imagine are equally nice.
I have the 30ml perfume bottle which is about the size of a Cox apple . The bottom half which contains the liquid is light green glass and the top half a shiny silver (with a sticky label on it like you'd get on an apple, as on the box packaging). The top half unscrews easily to reveal a silver coloured sprayer. I like the simple and yet elegant bottle.
---Application and the fragrance---
I tend to spray my right wrist (on the pulse point) and then rub it on my left wrist, and a squirt on my neck. The perfume sprays well from the bottle with no wastage.
DKNY Be Delicious is such a lovely fresh fragrance. This is where I struggle with perfume reviews as it's not my usual thing to review. I don't know anything about top notes and end notes and am not going to pretend that I do. However, for those who fins this information important, a search on the Internet tells me that Top notes are Violet leaf, apple, grapefruit, and magnolia, Middle notes are Lily of the valley, rose, and violet and Base notes are Sandalwood, amber, and musk.
In my terms you can definitely make out the smell of apples, but it's not overpowering. I don't really feel that I smell like an apple, but the hint is there. It's just lovely, crisp and light. Even if you went overboard with spraying it (which I don't intend to try), I don't think that you would scare people off.
---Wearing the perfume---
I don't wear this every day as I want it to last. Besides, I found a huge nearly full bottle of CK One hidden behind my boyfriend's aftershaves and I'm now working my way through that. I tend to wear this perfume on Mondays as I feel I need a boost before work, and whenever I think there might be a stressful day ahead...so usually Wednesdays and Fridays which are busiest at work. I find that having a quick sniff of my wrist makes me smile, and it also makes me think of my boyfriend!
I have had a fair few comments from people at work saying that I smell nice, so that is lovely to hear, and something I've never had before. It's certainly the perfume that they're smelling as I don't get any comments when wearing CK One...or perhaps I just generally smell so awful that people feel the need to comment when I actually smell nice? Who knows!
In terms of staying power, I find that I can still just about make out the fragrance at the end of the day, although I would probably put on an extra squirt if going out (not that I often do go out). One thing I did notice when trying on in a shop is that I got some on my jacket sleeve and I could still make out the smell on my sleeve for a few days. With such a nice fragrance this is a good thing!
---Final thoughts---
I absolutely love this perfume and intend to wear it for a long time. Better still, since I have a DKNY watch (already reviewed), I match when I wear the perfume.
I would highly recommend this perfume. However as everyone is different, and different smells suit different people, definitely try before you buy, or before you buy it for someone (unless you like taking risks)! If this one doesn't suit, then perhaps you'll prefer another one in this DKNY range.
The 30ml perfume costs around £20 - £25. It is also available in 50ml and 100ml bottles which will probably work out more economical if you're going to wear it a lot. Next Christmas my boyfriend can get me a bigger bottle!
DKNY Be Delicious is a crisp and fresh perfume by Donna Karan New York. It is the first fragrance my fiancé ever bought me as a surprise among my Christmas gifts several years ago.
My DKNY Be Delicious is a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum spray. I really love this perfume.
~ Price and availability ~
DKNY Be Delicious eau de parfum is available in 15ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles.
The 15ml bottle is available on Cheapsmells.com for £15.95 (recommended retail price £21.00).
The 30ml bottle is available on Cheapsmells.com for £23.95 (RRP £35.00).
The 50ml bottle is available on Cheapsmells.com for £37.00 (RRP £47.00).
The 100ml bottle is available on Cheapsmells.com for £49.95 (RRP £60.00).
The 30ml and 50ml bottles are available from Boots at their full RRPs. Debenhams also have 30ml and 50ml bottles at the above RRPs and also the 100ml bottle for £67.00.
The perfume is available in most department stores at similar prices.
~ Bottle ~
The bottle is almost spherical, representative of an apple. The bottom half of the bottle is transparent lime green coloured glass. The top half of the bottle is silver and on my bottle this is the lid of the bottle. The whole silver upper half of the bottle can be removed to reveal the spray button and the lime green lower half of the perfume bottle. This is quite disappointing as your bottle is suddenly a lot smaller than you previously thought, initially having been under the illusion that the perfume occupied more than just half of the bottle.
There is an oval sticker on the silver lid which is representative of an apple sticker. It has 'DKNY Be Delicious' on it then underneath in smaller print '100% Pure New York'. I think the apple sticker is a nice, fun touch to the bottle.
I think the bottle is nice and it adds something different to my dressing table's large collection. I don't think the bottle would be worth having without the lid though as it looks unidentifiable as DKNY Be Delicious and appears quite cheap as just half a bottle.
~ Scent ~
The scent is refreshing, fruity and really light.
It offers top notes of violet leaf, apple, grapefruit and magnolia, heart notes of tuberose, lily of the valley, rose and violet and base notes of sandalwood, amber and musk.
It smells as green as it looks and the crisp, fresh apple scent dominates this fragrance. It is surprisingly strong, but by no means overpowering. I always expect this perfume to be more subtle, knowing it to be light, fresh and fruity.
It is quite a youthful perfume. I could imagine a teenager wearing this fragrance, although I am in my mid-twenties and it is one I know to be popular among my friends of the same age. I also think an older, more mature woman could easily get away with this scent. I can't imagine that anyone would be offended by this scent.
I think it is more of a casual, every day scent rather than one for special occasions. I have found it to have good staying power as well.
~ Overall ~
Overall I think this is a nice, light, fresh, fruity fragrance and I would consider repurchasing if my bottle were to run out. I think the bottle is quite cute and adds something different to my dressing table. I think it is a perfume that will appeal more to younger girls and is perfect for every day wear, but would recommend it to anyone who the description appeals to.
I've had this perfume for quite a while now - around a year and a half and I love it! I've nearly used it all up and I will definitely be re-purchasing another bottle once I have. I'm trying to make it last for as long as possible as this is quite a pricy perfume and I can't really justify buying another bottle when I already have a ginormous perfume collection but it is definitely worth every penny.
I usually wear this when I'm going somewhere that is quite a casual event but I still want to make an effort, say a family meal or to the cinemas or something like that, as it's a casual and versatile fragrance but it stills smells special and expensive if that makes sense! Basically it's not over the top and while it's nice and fresh and light it has a subtle warmth which makes it ideal for any season. I have the 100ml bottle of this which retails at around £65.00 so like I said before it's not cheap!
Don't let the price put you off though, it is well worth the money and you can tell that it's an expensive perfume because of the high quality, delicious scent and it is very long lasting too even though only a few squirts is needed with each application. Smaller sized bottles are available - 30ml and 50ml and this perfume can be purchased from a huge range of shops - supermarkets, depertment stores, perfume shops and so on and it can be found at a slightly discounted price on sites such as Amazon.
The first thing that attracted me to this perfume was the apple shaped bottle, and after seeing the advert for it ages ago, I set off in search of it as I thought that the bottle was really unique. After sniffing this I fell in love and didn't mind forking out for it. I remember this been even more expensive than it is now when I bought it but I would rather buy one really good quality perfume once in a while rather than buying lots of cheap perfumes. This is a really luxurious and it's easily in the same league as my Chanel, Marc Jabobs and Thierry Mugler perfumes.
The perfume bottle is unique and although when I describe it it might sound a little childish (as it's an apple shape!) it is actually a really cool and elegant design. Pictures and descriptions don't do it justice. It's basically a round glass bottle which is very solid and sturdy without being bulky. Half of the bottle is tinted green which obviously reflects the apple fragrance while the other half is silver and very shiny. The silver part has got the DKNY logo on it and the perfume is released by pressing down on a little triangular button which is kinda cool!
The manufacturers describe this as a refreshing, juicy fragrance. They state that it combines the scent of apple with a blend of exotic flowers and sensual woods. The top notes are apple, cucumber and grapefruit while the middle notes are magnolia, tuberose, rose, violet and white muguet. The base consists of sandalwood and white amber. I was expecting this to be very floral, however it's really fruity with apple being the most prominent smell. It smells like natural apple rather than an artificial smell and it has a nice hint of floral which balances it out nicely and stops it from smelling too sweet. Although it's a very delicious, mouth waterring fruity kind of scent it's not too girly in my opinion and the woody notes give it a nice twist. The fragrance is fresh and uplifting and I feel like a million dollars when I'm wearing it!
Even though it is a fresh fragrance I would not class this as a summer scent as it has gorgeous, comforting warm tones which reminds me of a glass of warm apple juice and cinnamon. I personally find it hard to detect the amber in this and the notes that stand out to me are apple and cucumber which smells so much better than it sounds!! I usually squirt this on both wrists and my neck and the fragrance lingers on my skin all day and it is still detectable even when I've had my bath and am in my pj's! It's incredibly long lasting and in the year and a half that I've had it I've had countless compliments on the smell.
Overall, I can not recommend this enough.
DKNY Be Delicious is one of my favourite perfumes and is always in my collection. It has a beautiful fresh light fragrance perfect for everyday use.
It is from a range by Donna Karan, a New York fashion designer and although I have not tried any other products from the Be Delicious range that include, golden delicious, fresh blossom, sparkling apple, red, night and heart the world (3 different scents named after the cities London, Paris and New York City)
Body and bath products are also available as well as perfume.
The bottle comes in either a 30 ml or 50ml size. I have the 30ml bottle and lasts me quite a while as I find I only need a couple of sprays upon application.
The glass bottle is presented in the shape of an apple with the top half being silver and the bottom half green. On the bottle that I have, to apply you simply pull off the top silver lid to reveal a sprayer to release the scent. (some bottles may slightly differ in the fact that you just press down on the silver lid instead of pulling it off.)
Some people I know have said that the smell does not last a long time however I disagree, for myself it seems to last well throughout the day.
The scent is fresh, clean and light that is suited for everyday use, combining exotic flowers and sensual woods fragrances with ingredients including rose, cucumber, orchid and lilly.
The last bottle I purchased was earlier this year and I still have some left so last me quite a while. I can't remember what I paid for it but after looking online have found that in Superdrug it is priced at £30.99 and the perfume shop at £34.50 for a 30ml bottle.
Overall I would definitely recommend this perfume. ;-)
A modern feast for the senses / Served in a sleek metal and glass apple bottle, this juicy fragrance combines the scent of apple with a sophisticated blend of exotic flowers and sensual woods / Like the city that inspired it, Be Delicious celebrates individ

The sad demise and uncertain future of Jonathan Sanchez
There was a time when Jonathan Sanchez was the pitcher with the most promise on the San Francisco Giants' staff.
That time ended long ago, and now we're left to wonder if Sanchez will be pitching in the majors for anyone anytime soon.
On Tuesday, the Kansas City Royals designated pitcher Jonathan Sanchez for assignment, in a move they probably thought was the rock-bottom moment from their offseason trade with the Giants.
They were wrong.
Sanchez and pitcher Ryan Verdugo were acquired in a trade with the Giants for outfielder Melky Cabrera.
On Monday, Sanchez was tagged for seven runs in 1 1/3 innings against the weak-hitting Mariners. That bumped his season ERA to 7.76 in 12 starts. He had not won since April 8.
On Tuesday, Sanchez was designated for assignment, making room on the roster for Verdugo, who was 6-2 with a 3.58 ERA with Triple-A Omaha this season. Verdugo made his MLB debut Tuesday against the Mariners.
Against the Mariners, Verdugo was tagged for six runs on eight hits and two walks in 1 2/3 innings.
All of this came exactly one week after Cabrera started in the outfield for the National League All-Star team, eventually being named MVP of the game, which was ironically played in Kansas City.
"You want them all to work out, but most of the time they don't, unfortunately," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Tuesday about the trade. "It's part of the business, you move on and you accept it. You continue to look for solutions.
"There's no need to spend a lot of time rehearsing what went wrong. You certainly analyze it, but don't beat yourself about it because this game moves on. You can't dwell on it. You can't get stuck on it. You've got to move forward."
OK, let's move forward. On Tuesday, Cabrera went 2 for 5 with a hustle double, two runs and an RBI as the Giants beat the Braves 9-0. It was Cabrera's NL-leading 41st multi-hit game of the season. He's hitting .353 on the season.
As for Sanchez, it's another fall along what has been become a steady decline since the 2010 season when it looked as if Sanchez had reached that potential the Giants fans had heard about for years.
Sanchez was outstanding in 2010, especially down the stretch. He pitched the Giants to victory in the regular-season finale when they clinched the NL West Division title.
He had another solid outing against the Braves in the NL Division Series. Then things started to turn.
He lost Game 2 of the NLCS vs. the Phillies and appeared to be headed another loss in Game 6 when he was pulled early and the bullpen came to the rescue.
He suffered the Giants' lone loss in the World Series vs. the Rangers.
In 2011, things became steadily worse for Sanchez, who eventually landed on the DL with "bicep tendinitis" in June. When he returned from the DL, he was no better and a foot injury in August ended his season.
The Royals acquired Sanchez in the offseason, hoping a change of scenery would help him recapture the magic of 2010. Instead, things went the opposite direction.
His ERA jumped from 4.26 in 2011 to 7.76 in 2012. His WHIP went from 1.44 to 2.04.
Royal manager Ned Yost still believes Sanchez can be a quality pitcher, but the Royals could not continue to suffer from his struggles.
"It's still there with Jonathan," Yost said. "He's still got the stuff to be successful. For whatever reason, he just wasn't successful here. It just got to a point we needed to regroup for us and for him."
So then what's next for Dirty Sanchez?
It's doubtful that another contender would want to risk throwing Sanchez into its starting rotation or even bullpen. If he latches on with a contender, it would involve him heading to Triple-A to figure things out.
The Royals are hoping he clears waivers and accepts a minor-league assignment with them. Sanchez had a 6.75 ERA in three rehab starts with Triple-A Omaha this season.
"We designated him and that gives us 10 days to trade him, but he also has an option and, if he agrees, he can go to Triple-A with us, which I'd personally like to see him do," Yost said. "Because it's still there, his stuff's still there."
Sanchez will clear waivers because no team will want to be on the hook for the remainder of the $5.6 million he's earning this season.
If he wants to stay in the majors, it will have to be with a non-contender. A non-contender that is starved for starting pitching and preferably plays in a pitcher-friendly park.
And that leads to only one team … the San Diego Padres.
We'll find out in 10 days.

Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin indicated Thursday that ace Zack Greinke likely would be traded prior to Tuesday's nonwaiver trading deadline. And he definitely didn't drag things out for dramatic effect.
The Los Angeles Angels acquired Greinke on Friday night for a package of three solid prospects. A heavy price to pay for a free-agent-to-be, sure, but general manager Jerry Dipoto made it clear during the winter meetings that the franchise's focus is much more on the present than the future.
Breaking down the deal:
What it means for the Angels
They beat the Texas Rangers to the punch again, just as they did this past offseason when they signed left-hander C.J. Wilson away from their primary AL West rivals. With a rotation that now features Wilson, Greinke, Jered Weaver and Dan Haren, the Angels not only are built for a postseason charge, they are built for the postseason. And that group will be even stronger if Ervin Santana somehow manages to solve his season-long struggles.
"It should be fun," Greinke said, according to MLB.com. "They're a great team. I think the first month they struggled, but since (then), they're one of the best teams in baseball. (They have) a lot of great players, good pitching. The pitching staff will be pretty incredible."
If Greinke loved Miller Park—and his 15-0 record and 2.93 ERA there the past two seasons certainly suggest that he did—he will love Angel Stadium. He also will love the Angels' defense. Although the Angels and Brewers have almost an identical fielding percentage, L.A. ranks second in the majors in Ultimate Zone Ranking and Milwaukee ranks 21st, according to fangraphs.com.
The lingering issue: Will Greinke thrive in a huge media market? That has been a concern for years, dating to before the Kansas City Royals dealt him to the Brewers. But with Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, Weaver and others around, Greinke won't be the star attraction. And strong locker-room presences like Torii Hunter will make sure Greinke is comfortable. Besides, Anaheim isn't New York. In fact, it isn't even Los Angeles.
What it means for the Rangers
Because they have a sizeable lead in the division and still are a better team than the Angels when healthy and running on all cyclinders, the Rangers don't have to panic. Of course, if Neftali Feliz continues to underwhelm on his rehab assignment and Roy Oswalt's back continues to be an issue, all bets are off, especially with Colby Lewis done for the season after elbow surgery.
Texas coveted Greinke (and Cole Hamels before him) and the fact that he landed in Los Angeles is a double whammy. Expect the Rangers to step up their pursuit of Josh Johnson or James Shields—and expect them to give the Philadelphia Phillies one more call and offer to take Cliff Lee's burdensome salary off their hands—as they try to keep pace with not only the Angels but also the Oakland A's.
And then there is the offense. Texas has scored four runs or fewer 14 times in 18 games this month, and slugger Josh Hamilton is such a mess at the plate that even owner Nolan Ryan is getting restless. The addition of another bat isn't a necessity, but it would be a nice luxury.
What it means for the trade market
There is one fewer ace in play. With Hamels staying in Philadelphia and Greinke heading to Los Angeles, teams shopping for a front-line starter have fewer options. That list now includes Shields, Johnson and Ryan Dempster. And their prices keep going up.
The other believed-to-be-available arms—Francisco Liriano, Jason Vargas, Matt Garza, Kevin Correia, Wade Davis, among them—aren't difference-makers on that same level. In fact, the contenders that miss out on the top starters soon might turn their attention to the reliever market, which has been quiet thus far.
And with the pickings getting bare on the rotation shelf, the focus figures to shift to the hitters. The bats aren't on par with the arms this July, but the futures of Chase Headley, Hunter Pence, Alfonso Soriano, Bryan LaHair, Shane Victorino, Carlos Lee, Josh Willingham and Marco Scutaro should begin to come into focus.

TACOMA, Wash. – The Puget Sound women's basketball team scored the first four points of the game and never looked back in a 75-45 win over Willamette on Friday. Emily Sheldon's 13 points led a balanced scoring effort for the Loggers (9-4, 2-2 NWC).
Katy Ainslie established the early Logger lead as she knocked down a turnaround jumper in the paint just 13 seconds into the game. From there, the Logger defense fueled the decisive victory, holding the Bearcats (0-11, 0-2 NWC) to just 32.1 percent shooting.
After jumping out to a 12-4 lead on a jumper from Olivia Roberts, the Bearcats never came closer than five points as the Loggers led comfortably for most the night. The scoring load was spread out among the Loggers as six players scored at least seven points.
The Loggers also dished out 18 assists on the night, led by four assists each from Olivia Roberts and Ashley Agcaoili.
While the Loggers kept the Bearcats on lockdown, the offense found its rhythm. The Loggers shot 46.2 percent on the night and drained seven three-pointers on just 13 attempts.
The lead continued to grow quickly in the second half as the Bearcats were held to just 26.9 percent shooting in the period. Sophie Wilson scored 15 points on five three-pointers to lead the Bearcats while Julia Brand added in 10 points.
The Loggers shot 50 percent over the final 20 minutes as the lead ballooned to 33 points when Taylor Jones drained a three-pointer with 7:05 remaining. The Loggers then cruised the rest of the way for the big win.
With the win, the Loggers climbed up to .500 in NWC play. They look to go above .500 next Friday when they travel to Linfield.
TACOMA, Wash. – A 13-2 run to open the game helped boost the Puget Sound men's basketball team to its first conference win of the season – 75-62 over Willamette. Rex Holmes scored a season-high 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting to lead the Loggers (6-7, 1-3 NWC) to the home win.
Holmes appropriately scored the first four points of the night for the Loggers, who opened the game on a 13-2 run. Holmes was responsible for six of those points during the run while Rex Nelson scored four of his 13 points to help maintain it. AJ Maw's first three-pointer of the night capped the run and the Loggers never trailed in the contest.
The Bearcats (4-7, 1-1 NWC) were not to be discouraged as they closed the gap to five points in just a minute and a half. The teams went on to trade runs in the half as a Riggs Yarbro bucket, with 5:34 left, opened a 32-17 lead. Alex Brown helped the Bearcats answer when his layup, with 1:37 left, closed the lead to just 10 points, and Terrell Malley's free throw slashed the lead back into single digits just before halftime.
Yarbro looked to make a statement as he finished at the rim just seven seconds into the second half. Another three from Maw pushed the lead back to 17 points, but the Bearcats refused to go down. Tyler Conger's layup just three minutes later saw the lead shrink back into single digits.
The teams seemed to trade baskets over the next few minutes, and the Loggers steadily grew their lead back up to 17. The Bearcats would make a small run back as Elliott Bobcock-Krenk scored all 11 of his points in the second half to keep the visitors in the game.
However, the lead stayed in double digits the rest of the way, and the Loggers hung on for their first conference win.
Holmes' scored 12 of his 23 points in the second half, while he also dished out a pair of assists, grabbed five rebounds, and recorded four steals. Nelson finished with 13 points and six boards, while Yarbro had 10 points and pulled down seven boards. Sean Dart had nine points and seven rebounds for the Bearcats.
The Loggers used a suffocating, full-court defense for nearly all 40 minutes and forced 20 turnovers from the Bearcats. The Loggers also found their way inside on the offensive end, with 46 points in the paint compared to 26 from Willamette.
The Loggers are out on the road for the next two weeks, starting with a trip to Linfield next Friday.

Premier League: Chelsea striker Demba Ba rejects talk of move to Arsenal
Demba Ba has rejected talk linking him with a move to Arsenal, insisting he wants to fight for his place at Chelsea.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 22/12/13 5:05pm
Ba was linked with a move to Arsenal during the summer transfer window and reports have suggested Arsene Wenger might try and bring Ba to the Emirates in January as he looks to bolster his attacking options.
However, former Newcastle and West Ham hitman Ba has quashed the rumours of a move to Arsenal, claiming he has never heard anything from the Gunners.
"People talk a lot about me joining Arsenal," Ba is quoted as saying in The Sun on Sunday. "But there has never been an approach from them.
"There is nothing going on in this regard. Things are OK for me at the moment.
"It's working, as the situation is turning around for me here bit by bit. I am getting more time on the pitch as a result of the injuries to our strikers Samuel Eto'o and Fernando Torres.
"You just need a bit of time to adapt when you change clubs. I've been in a process of adaptation while moving between West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea.
"But as soon as I'm given the chance to prove myself, I take it so the fact that I've often been on the substitute's bench is nothing serious."

Breakout folk-rockers the Lumineers continue a banner year including two GRAMMY nominations and a Platinum-selling single "Ho Hey" by announcing a slew of new North American tour dates.
The dates include a number of summer festivals, including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch and Governors Ball. The trio is also set to headline the first-ever Shaky Knees Music Festival, a two-day event scheduled for May 4 and 5 in Atlanta, G.A.
Joining the Lumineers on select shows along the North American jaunt will be the Cold War Kids and J Roddy Walston.
"Live music is a different animal than a record," explained lead singer Wesley Schultz to Uncommon Music last year, "and I think we're really proud of the record we made, but I think we just hope that people come out to the show because we put a lot of effort into our shows and giving people a night instead of looking down at our shoes, playing our songs like your hit and play our CD."

Rain set to ease off for weekend
The wet weather that left many people spending Bank Holiday Monday indoors is set to ease ahead of the weekend - and despite the prospect of more rain on the horizon there is no suggestion that it will bring major flooding.
Rainfall will weaken over the next 36 hours, heralding a drier day for many on Friday before the sun brings warm temperatures over the weekend.
But grey skies and rain will return next week as another weather system moves in.
Forecasters expect rain for much of the UK today, with northern England bearing the brunt with around 20mm (0.8in) in localised areas.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, urging people to "be aware" of rain levels in Yorkshire and Humber, with the possibility of up to 30mm (1.2in) across North and East Yorkshire, with local flooding disrupting travel.
The Environment Agency has also warned of flood risks in south-east England, Anglia and the Midlands, issuing 19 of its lowest "flood alert" warnings, mainly of groundwater flooding close to rivers.
Sean Penston, from weather forecasters MeteoGroup, said: "There will be a moderate amount of rainfall, and given that we have seen a fair amount of rain in the past few days, with the high water table there is a chance of water developing on the surface."
He added: "The system affecting us now will weaken over the next 36 hours. There will be a largely dry day on Friday for northern parts of the UK. In the south there is a risk of further showers but drier conditions will develop here on Saturday.
"Even though it is quite miserable it is quite warm outside and muggy, and today there will be highs of 16C-18C (60.8F-64.4F) across south-east England away from the coasts.
"Tomorrow onwards we are looking at a general warming trend, with 19C (66.2F) across south-east England.
"But over the weekend we could see 21C-22C (69.8F-71.6F) across the South East and a predominantly dry day on Saturday. I wouldn't rule out rain or showers, but they won't be particularly heavy.
"Sunday will be generally the same, though there will be the chance of the odd shower in south-eastern parts of England and the far north will see some rain."
Next week will see rain moving in from the west on Monday and more showers over the following days.
Mr Penston said: "Generally there will be rain and showers next week but less amount of cloud, so it won't be as miserable."

"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
You know on second thought I'm not going to wait for anyone to sound off becuase I wouldnt want anyone thinking I need a co-sign before giving my opinion.
I have supported bringing Steph back all summer long. I think that he is as good a fit for Dantoni's offense there is. I certainly think that he is better than Duhon,Mardy, or Robertson. But this interview pisses me off and shows that he has the same old attitude that has made him a pain to his teamates and coaches his whole career.
Why is he calling Mike Dantoni out? Hasnt he learned by now that this is exactly the sought of thing that has caused him to clash with previous coaches. And doesnt he realize that the "they" he is refering to when he says "they are going to give me all my money" is referring to his new GM. Donnie Walsh did the classy thing in telling ESPN (not just a local paper) that he has every intention of bringing Steph into camp when it was speculated he was going to bought out. He has said that Steph has done everything that he asked him to do, and has stated all Summer that Steph has a clean slate! Now even if Steph thought for sure he is getting cut, why can't he give his typical "No Comment" response on this subject. I can't say that I wouldnt take a penny less if I were him either, but, doesnt he realize that telling everyone paper about it is an insult to his team! News flash Steph to truley "earn" your money it means you do whatever to help your team win, so if it is coming off the bench then so be it!
Look Marbaury supporters take off your "Team Marbaury" hats and imagine if this was any other player, and how disrespectful he sounds towards our team, new GM, and Coach (the latter two have said nothing but good things about him thus far). You know what Steph in shape is an NBA All Star for sure, but I'm as a Knick Fan am tired of it all and he can go be an All Star somewhere else!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
It's Steph being Steph. I'm tired of his antics. He's been saying he just wants to win and will do whatever it takes for many years now. In the end, it's all about him, never the team. That's been the biggest complaint about Steph since the beginning. He says he's changed, and then pulls the same crap every year.
He's crazy to think he deserves every penny of his contract. He hasn't earned it. He's the second highest paid player in the league and has nothing to show for it.
Get ready for another year of drama. Steph scowling on the bench because D'Antoni's benched him for not playing team ball. Zach throwing hissy fits because D'Antoni's benched him for not playing team ball. When are people going to learn. Stats and talent aren't everything. We will be a better team when these two cancers are gone.
I dont blame him at all. Rondos nothing great but he is the starting point guard of a championship team. And after like a week of marbury embarrassing rondo in practice he would be starting for the smelltics anyways. Why would marbury come off the bench? So Chris duhon or nate robinson could start? SMH and the lakers should bench kobe and start trevor ariza
I think its great to see Starbury sticking up for himself, not willing to take anything less then he earned. Hes not the who gave himself that contract, and he didnt make the trade to get himself on the knicks. Hes from coney island, where he grew up poor. The more money he makes the more he can help the community, which is called a positive correlation.
Starbury will single handedly bring us to the playoffs this year, cant wait to watch him dominate.
About him not starting....he said he wants his ashes spread over MSG and he loves our team, then he needs to do whatever needs to be done to help us out. He says the focus needs to be on turning us back into a playoff team, again if he really means that then he would consider doing whatever is asked of him to get that done! Really what he is saying is that he will play backup to give Boston another shot at the Title, but, will not do the same for The Knicks! Sorry I have a real problem with that!
MSG you made a great point when you said that Steph has the skill to lead a team to the playoffs single handed, but he doesnt have the attitude of a leader as shown by this interview. When it was speculated that Houston was going to be bought out did he hit the papers talking about he wants all his money?
Now you know your point about Kobe and Ariza is exxagerated! Again the fact remains if Mike Dantoni wants him to play backup then he should do it! End of story. John Starks was a more established player than Houston and certainley had a legacy with The Knicks, but when he was asked to move to bench he did it for the good of the team.
I was up for him being a Knick this year (I have made a couple of Threads supporting this) but his attitude still hasnt changed and really he can take his 20 million and ride The Celtic bandwagon to a NBA Title
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
You really need to shut the **** up and stop taking everything out of its content.
Marbury in his 15 minute interview said if he leaves NY, he would be interested in playing for a championship team.
Who wouldn't?
Is he wrong for saying that?
Get off his dick...Marbury won't be apart of the Knicks future.
It gets played out and straight up annoying when you guys constantly bitch and moan of Stephon's action being outrageous when they're really minor things.
Marbury is the best guard on this team...we won't really be any better without him; plus the fact he's in amazing shape and is an expiring contract just has too much value to let go so easily.
Learn to read! I never knocked him for wanting to play for a championship team, my issue is that he said he would gladly play backup for Boston to help them win, and not do the same for the team he says he loves! Ok I know it is impossible for "Team Starbaury" to admit that Steph is ever wrong, but even yall have to admit that he needed to rebuild his image with the team. Now do you really think he is doing that by already demanding a starting job on the team? You are right he is the best PG on the team, but he is not the coach and if Mike Dantoni wants the best PG to come off the bench to earn his money then he needs to shut up and do it.
Not a "Stabaury Hater" just a real fan that calls it like I see it, and cares what is best for our team, not any one player! Charles Oakley was my favorite All Time Knick, but if he ever was this disrespectful to our team, then I wouldve said the same.
LMAO That a member of Team Starbaury would suggest that someone get off Steph's dick!
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Or Italy. That would be great for him. He could run in the Alps all summer.
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
I read this MF article several times yesterday, and discussed it with others and the conclusion was.... that Walsh is not doing his job.
This was an issue in July, when pubically Paul Pierce announced his bidds for Marbury whenever the Knicks waive him.
The last few weeks media been throwing all kinds of hype on Marbury in the air by saying, " our sources say" or more "he said or she said" sweetners to hype up their article on Marbury. And we all know how easy it is for the media to goat Marbury into opening his big mouth. However....
There is not one quote from Dolan or Donnie Walsh that says, "Marbury refuse to negotiate a buyout".
The Article also states in between lines that Marbury has been waiting to have a meeting with his bosses Dolan & Walsh.
Dolan & Walsh dont want to become the laughing stock of the NBA for buying-out Marbury, when one of Marbury many talents can be used to get the next team to the conference Finals.
Inwhich Marbury could clean up his 5 year tour with Isiah in just one season.
Marbury wants a buy-out so he dont lose his "buyable" clothe line bussiness by moving it to another State to a playoff team, when sports wear sells go sky high on any Postseason team.
The Knicks can only go as low as $16 mill on a $21 mill contract. Marbury will demand $2 mill from the next team.
The next team wants Marbury at the opening of their training-camp, which Dantoni dont, but the call is in Dolan and Walsh hands.
Marbury's actions aren't that serious.
You're being way too dramatic about the whole thing.
You're pretty stupid for d*ckriding Marbury's morals so much.
You don't think Marbury wants to win a championship in his home city?
You're a fool as proven before.
Is it really Marbury's fault Isiah built the worst team and supporting cast around Stephon?
Marbury was disrespected by Isiah, but he still shows loyalty to this franchise when other star players would of demanded a trade if they got the Isiah treatment.
Marbury says a lot of the right things most of the time, and more than your average athlete. So don't even front.
Who the hell said Marbury will come off the bench? You need to shut the f*ck up and realize Marbury off the bench is the most useless idea right now.
He's a starter only, you might as well cut him if he's going to ride the bench.
You're a lame Knick fan, who tries too hard and is way too dramatic.
Wow, Oakley? Thats mad generic, good for you...man, I can't even front on your "realness" as a Knick fan, idiot.
Kobe ****TED on the Lakers countless of times, you think Laker fans hate Kobe?
Please go jerk off an elephant penis and stop with all this overdramatic "disrespecting" the organization.
Marbury's actions aren't that serious...why so serious?
Gee willikers.
Stephon Marbury wouldn't play Uncle Tom for the Post reporter?
He refused to denounce Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Cynthia McKinney. He even questioned the bailout of Wall Street fat-cats?
Now he's going to have to leave the nice warm house, and go back out to the fields, where he belongs.
Why can't he just be happy, and say the right things?
Marbaury says the right thing most of the time!? Negative Rep point for talking out of your rear!
Do I need to point out the difference between Kobe and Steph? That example is garbage! Not to mention Laker fans were indeed pissed off w/ Kobe when he was demanding to be traded and was talking bad about teamates and management you dumb ass! He actually got booed opening night last year! Another Negative Rep Point for using false examples to support a weak claim!
Now about him coming off the bench and you asked who ever said he would come off the bench....The question was asked to Steph would he accept coming of the bench for The Knicks, he said no he's not coming off the bench in NY. Read the article it's there as clear as day. I never stated that he should come off the bench you need to learn how to reply to what was actually said instead of you think you can argue!
I don't even understand what point you were trying to make in my saying how Oak was my favorite Knick. My opinions are my opinion and they are not in any way to establish an image! Oak was my favorite Knick nothing more to say about that.
Look I have proved to you before that you don't know the game, and that you lie just to make yourself look knowledgable(see your Eddy Curry prediction statement). To your credit it has worked for you, people actually think you know what you're talking about, so keep up the good work! But peddle your B.S. to them because the smart Knick fans on this site see through you!

This painting is one of a series of four, each representing an aspect of the human condition: Peace, War, Work, and Rest. Here, the state of War is shown as a dark, barren landscape where impoverished and starving people mourn their dead, raising their sorrowing eyes to the skies.
This work is a reduced version of an allegorical painting that Puvis executed in 1861 for the monumental staircase of the Musée de Picardie in Amiens, France.

In add-monad-step, the :when clause is implemented by this line:
(identical? bform :when) `(if ~expr ~mexpr ~'m-zero)
which makes sense, except that m-zero is an optional operation for monads.
If :when is used with a monad that does not provide an m-zero operation,
the result (in cases where the condition evaluates to false) is an incorrect monadic value,
and strange, difficult-to-understand errors result.
I don't know that it's possible to make this work reasonably for all monads,
but at the very least the limitation should be documented, and ideally the use of :when
with a monad that does not define m-zero should issue a warning with a recommendation that
{:if :then :else} should be used instead.d
After more thinking, I think the best behavior would be to evaluate to m-zero if it's defined, and (m-result nil) otherwise. The behavior of :when is too useful with the state monad, and too cumbersome to duplicate with :if :then :else, to simply document the issue. The standard Clojure when macro evaluates to nil if the condition is false.
The docstring for domonad clearly says that :when requires a definition of m-zero. I am not in favor of removing this rule, which has a clear role in the monad framework. "No value" is not in general the same as "a value of nil", so substituting (m-result nil) as a default for m-zero doesn't look like a good idea.
A better error message would indeed be desirable but I see no obvious implementation, because of the possibility of generic domonad forms for which the monad is specified later. As a workaround, I have replaced the ::undefined value by more descriptive symbols that convey a useful message to the reader:

I'd like to get this nailed down so it could be added to the other thread detailing the whole process - so it could be recreated with baker's yeast. Any input is welcome.
Is there a favored brand of CY to use?
on another note one of my employees got into my private shirt stock for a post wedding he was helping with.
It's probably closer to 0.03% or even less. The problem with this is you need to make a larger batch unless you have the measuring scale that can do less than a gram. I did a 40-hour dough with 0.03% CY, 2.8% salt, 60% water (24 hrs bulk, 16 hrs ball) maintained at 60-65F except during the last 8 hrs (at 75-78F) and I thought the dough was at its prime during the 36 hr mark. I will also do it this weekend to see the exact timing and workflow that will suit the yeast amount.
Not to nitpick, but does yeast really dissolve? Don't you wind up with a stratified layer at yeast's molecular weight compared to h20? And if stirring, you have to consider clumping and turbulence and sticky areas on the walls, right?
I tried to follow your process and used 0.02% ADY, I found it to work pretty well except that the dough was a bit too extensible at 62.5% hydration. You had commented before that the sourdough acids may help to tighten up the dough some. The temperature varied between 60F and 65F for the bulk rise of 26 hours. Balled then about 65F for 12 hours and 74F for 4 hours prior to baking.
At ~65F?
At 65F, and using your extended bulk, I would say start with .05%. But I think even that may be too much. Use water that is 65F when mixing, so the yeast does not get ahead of you.John
I would think even ~40F water like I use with SD might be the way to go. Thoughts?
Probably the best way to approach it. I have always had varying results with different "brands" of CY. Sometimes I get a package, and the dough starts to expand before your eyes, way too early. And sometimes it goes too slowly and never hits the mark. The most consistent results I have had always came from the large block you get at RD. Total overkill, especially when using such low percentages though.John

Viva la print journalism
I began reading newspapers more than 40 years ago. Every day I would read the morning Arkansas Gazette and the afternoon Arkansas Democrat at my grandparents' house. Today, I subscribe to The Courier and the Sunday Democrat-Gazette. Hopefully, news of the pending demise of newspapers, and all forms of print journalism, have been greatly exaggerated.
Although newspapers do present editorials from a prevailing ideological slant, most will always have an editorial from a differing perspective or two, if for no other reason than to inspire reader responses. This helps create healthy debate that is usually non-existent in electronic media that will usually censor any opposition to the prevailing ideology. Most people will only search for, and read, electronic media that wholly supports their own personal agenda, leaving any enlightenment into the "other side's" position unexplored. Doing this only weakens the ability to adequately defend a position since you are only accepting and agreeing with someone else's opinion that matches your own.
The Courier does a good job of providing opposing editorial viewpoint by having Thomas Sowell, John Brummett, Cokie Roberts, and Jackie Cushman (just to name a few) gracing the editorial page at various times during the week. This ideological pot pouri of editorialists allows me to become a more informed citizen since I have now come to realize I learn more from those I disagree with than I could ever hope to learn from those with whom I do agree. Keep up the good work, Courier, and viva la print journalism!

Response to Bo Smith
I guess I'm one of those "ignorant, apathetic and/or misinformed" citizens Mr. Smith thinks make up "most of our citizens." Being ignorant and misinformed, perhaps Mr. Smith can enlighten me about one of his statements: "Most economists believe that one of the most important functions of government is the redistribution of wealth." I would like to see Mr. Smith's list of those economists. I assume "most" means more than half. With maybe 10s of thousands of economists in the world, that's got to be one very long list. I suppose Karl Marx would be in there somewhere.
Redistribution of wealth by the federal government sure makes sense to me! Look at the recent fiasco (one of a long string of stupid "redistributions") when the current administration gave SOLYNDRA $500,000,000 of our tax dollars. The company announced bankruptcy this week.
I have heard from other sources that Warren Buffet thinks he is not taxed enough by our "inadequate taxation." If Mr. Smith, Mr. Buffet, or others believe they are not paying enough in taxes, why don't they just send the treasury more of their income and quit complaining?

Response to faith column
This letter is a response to the article 'A license for immorality' Friday, Sept. 23 written by Dr. Don Ott.
I never would have written a response to your article in the paper if you would have just stuck with your Scripture references only. But, since you strayed from the path I would like to say a few things. Marriage in the sense you're referring too with scripture and small minded remarks is a spiritual one, not a civil one. Though you want marriage to be a totally spiritual one, and it may be to you, we still have to go to the courthouse and get a license for marriage. It's not recognized civilly until you pay the fee and sign the dotted line. You believe God instituted it, but he sure doesn't regulate it. So keep recognizing marriage between a woman and a man for that is your right of conscience based on your beliefs, but civilly that is about to change. We can't punish a minority of people because of a belief system anymore. Get used to it.
This leads me to your remarks about the "will of the people" and "judicial activism." One of the things I love about this country, and it doesn't always get it right, it protects the minority from the majority. The majority were never supposed to be able to vote on the civil rights of others, no matter how devious you portray them. The judges who you have labeled "activists" are usually doing their job following the constitution instead of the will of the people as it should be. It wasn't that long ago that an African-American couldn't marry a Caucasian because the "majority" opposed it and even used Scripture to back up their opposition to it. How is same gender marriage any different than what you're proposing as evidence against it now?
Finally, your reference to 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 was the icing on the cake. I'm assuming you take the stance that people who practice these things at death without forgiveness are excluded from God's Kingdom, or is it those who practice them period? Your lack of grace through the whole article was appalling. What do you think you accomplished by this article? Condemnation for those who don't believe as you do comes to mind. Either way those who really needed to hear a balanced view from you didn't get it. All you did was stir the pot and use your position as a guest columnist to peddle hatred and damnation. Try to use a lot more grace next time if you really want to change people's minds about a certain topic or issue. As far as your reference to "God's elect" goes if they think as you do I don't want what they have, and especially the Jesus they are portraying.

Speak up America
Get informed. Stay informed. What's that super committee doing? Those 12 aren't saying. The White House wants a temporary jobs plan for $450,000,000,000 funded by an increase in taxes by permanently eliminating or reducing deductions for mortgage interest and charitable contributions. The plan is more of the same failed plans that haven't and won't work.
The White House also wants deficit reduction accomplished by tax increases of $1,500,000,000,000 over 10 years while asking for nothing about corporate tax reform or individual tax reform; just increased taxes on everyone, everywhere. Job plans that don't work and won't work; tax increases on everybody that will cause price increases on everything. Will that super committee do the White House's bidding? Speak up, America. Get informed. Stay informed.

I haven't seen Julie & Julia yet. I promised my friend Peter that we'd see it together and we're planning on going this weekend. I have seen the trailers and read the reviews, however, and it's looking pretty likely that Meryl Streep will score her 16th career Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Julia Child. Go Meryl!
Streep received her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Deer Hunter in 1978. She took home the gold in that same category the following year for Kramer vs. Kramer. Her only other nod for Best Supporting Actress was for 2002's Adaptation.
All of Meryl's other nominations have been in the Best Actress race, starting with The French Lieutenant's Woman in 1981. She won the next year for Sophie's Choice, and received nominations for Silkwood, Out of Africa, Ironweed, A Cry in the Dark, Postcards from the Edge, The Bridges of Madison County, One True Thing, Music of the Heart, The Devil Wears Prada and Doubt.
She already holds the record for most career nominations with 15, so a nod for Julie & Julia would merely solidify her position as the greatest actress of our time, a title she truly deserves.
Which of Meryl's Oscar-nominated performances is your favorite: Out of Africa (1985), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) or The Devil Wears Prada (2006)? Voice your choice in today's featured poll. All hail Meryl Streep.

There will not be a public memorial for late actor Corey Haim, according to what appears to longtime friend Corey Feldman's blog.
"Now I must be the bearer of some very disappointing news to many of you out there," he wrote. "After weeks of consideration and planning, the ultimate decision has been made by Corey's mother Judy Haim to not go forward with a public memorial service. Instead we will have a very small private dinner with just a few close friends in LA.
"Her reasoning for this is that she is in tremendous grief and feels that to create an event celebrating Corey's life would be too much for her to bear at this time," Feldman's blog post continued. "She did ask me to convey to you that she has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of your support and wants you to keep Corey alive by visiting his website at www.coreyhaim.us."
The actor, who co-starred with Haim in a number of films, as well as the reality show "The Two Coreys," added that the loss of his friend has been "very difficult" for him.
"I stayed indoors crying every day for 2 weeks," he said before criticizing the paparazzi and press for "attacking" him. "The second I leave my house they follow me, then make a spectacle, and then berate me for trying to get out of the house and live my life."
In his process of moving forward, Feldman — who did not attend Haim's funeral service in Toronto in March — said he'll be hitting the road with his band, Truth Movement, for "an extensive United States tour" beginning at the end of May.
Haim died on March 10, 2010. He was 38.
