Another favorite sequence is Episode 5’s cold open, in which Cordelia Goode (portrayed by Paulson) has a premonition about the impending apocalypse and is attacked by scavengers. “It’s a short, elegant sequence,” Kelly says. “I'm proud of how we [accomplished it] and how it ties into that tangible sense of the apocalypse that we know has happened in the first episode. And now Cordelia has had a visceral experience with it, and that's going to inform the trajectory of the rest of the season. I am very proud of the sequence as a puzzle piece in the story and also visually with how we were able to design and execute it. Plus, I'm a sucker for the texture of atmosphere. That's a big part of why this show is so much fun — because, when it makes sense, we can really push the atmosphere.” 

With a stylish design and 50-hour burn time, this beloved fir needle candle is perfect for the holidays or anytime, really.

One of those younger converts is Tessa Carleton, 24, who makes and sells handmade goods like macramé in rural Quebec. After a conversation with an environmentalist friend four years ago, Carleton donated or gave away the shampoo bottles, nail polish remover and Ziploc bags. And she is still purging.

The Frescobaldi family began producing Tuscan olive oil and wines in the year 1300 and is now celebrating its 30th generation in the business that manages all facets of farming and production. The family owns vineyards and nearly 750 acres of olive groves spread among seven estates throughout the Tuscany region.

While other brands have jumped on the stylish water bottle bandwagon, the next status bottle is not so status-y at all. Like fanny packs and Carhartt beanies, utilitarian Nalgene bottles — an old favorite of hikers and outdoorsy folk — are seeping into the ranks of the fashionable.

A projector to be installed in classrooms and lecture halls or offices for meetings and presentations. A new laser light source allows for a very compact size while achieving a bright screen up to 6,000 lm and eliminating the need for maintenance. The exterior design consists of vertical and horizontal elements in order to blend into the interior space, and the vents use a louver shape to hide the noisy internal parts. The emphasized thinness and the rounded corners give off a simple and clean feel when looked at from any angle, allowing you to install the product naturally on desktops or ceilings.

4. Fake Sushi: Seafood is the most fraud ridden and convoluted sector of our food world, but even so, sushi stands out as especially bad, the worst of the worst, and it is one of the only examples of a solely restaurant/prepared food scam - you’ll run into issues with EVOO and red snapper and ersatz champagne at retail and eating out, but very few people make their own sushi, and almost all of it in this country is ordered, not prepared by consumers. The sushi restaurant industry has the worst imaginable track record for deceit, and numerous studies have shown that the vast majority (in some studies all or nearly all eateries in cities as large as LA) have at least one mislabeled lie on their menu. In a large sampling of New York City sushi joints of all price joints, only one, Nobu, came through with flying colors for accuracy - and in many parts of the city there is a sushi spot on every block! The results of these investigations is shocking, and I wrote about some of this earlier here at Forbes.

At the Santa Monica Farmers Market, vendors happily poured produce and berries into the cloth sacks and metal case Cohen carried with her. But they weren’t quite sure what to do with the plastic berry baskets she left behind. One farmer said he would have to throw them away, because reusing wasn’t allowed. Another said he thought it was permissible to fill the baskets with a new batch of berries. (A Los Angeles County health spokesman was less than definitive, saying only that it “may be acceptable” for vendors to reuse the green plastic baskets.)

This Yongzheng period vase is adorned with colorful birds and pink peonies. The large size of the flora and fauna is unusual for the time, suggesting that this was made for the European market (likely Spain or Portugal). The craftsmanship is exquisite—and the springtime hues brightened up my otherwise dreary winter night.

Accessories on the table, including an oblong silver platter, a silver dish with a shell motif and a pure white pot holding a white orchid add visual interest. A tall lamp has a thin metal stem and a small white shade. “The furniture needed to be scaled to the size of the hallway, which is narrow,” Walsh says. “The console isn’t that deep, and the lamp’s thin post complements the scale of the console.”
