New compound bows are released by manufacturers every year as they come up with new technological advances that make their bows more powerful, more accurate, more silent or a combination of a couple of these. The temptation is there to ditch the PSE Stinger compound bow that has served me so well for so long and pick up one of the new breed. But then I think, what could I possibly get that I don’t have now. I’ve got a fast, reliable bow that I am comfortable shooting and that I am familiar with and that will serve me just as well for another season.

As long as my old bow remains in tip top working condition and it gets me the results that make me happy then I’ll stay with the tried and trusted. New technology won’t matter to me if I don’t know what I’m missing.

Remember Marilyn Monroe in How To Marry A millionaire? There was a bright fuchsia dress she wore to a dinner date, and another skirt she wore at the beginning. Those define the ideal pencil skirts. Skirts that make you wiggle when you walk because they hold your legs in tight are the epitome if a pencil skirt, however today these type of skirts usually have a slit to make walking easier.

A pencil style skirt will flatter almost any figure, except very thin hips and legs. Plus size styles are difficult to fit properly due to the different hips and waist sizes, but if a skirt is found which fits, the pencil style is one of the most flattering to a figure.

For a little wiggle in your walk, the pencil style skirt remains the sexiest skirt available.

For men, a pair of light linen pants can be great for dressy nights out. A casual date night can be comfortable and cool with a pair of linen pants.

Do you have your eye set on getting a great looking antler chandelier for your home or cabin, but just can’t justify the price? These rustic light fixtures are the perfect way to set the mood for a home with a natural décor. However, even the smallest chandeliers made from real antlers can cost over $500. A large all natural fixture will cost you anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000.

That high price is just not in that many people’s budgets, especially these days. This is why so many companies have started to produce reproduction antler chandeliers. The faux antlers are made from a variety of different materials, and when done right are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. When it is hanging from your ceiling nobody will ever be able to tell the difference.

These reproductions make an important detail of a rustic house design accessible to anyone who wants to own one. If you really have your heart set on having real antlers, you could consider making your own chandelier. If you live in the right area you can go out and collect antlers that have been shed, and find a design plan to make it yourself.

There are tons and tons of great instrumental artists out there, but only a few have stood out amongst the crowd. The following is only a handful of artists, a bit of background on each, and some of their more well known instrumental music. Enjoy!

Sir James Galway is the world's greatest flutist or flautist, whichever is better for you! Of course, this is my opinion, but I would have a hard time believing anyone would argue with me on this point. Sir James Galway, yes he is a real knight, is the reason I began playing the flute and daydreamed about playing beautiful solos in front of thousands. He is one of the first flutists to have an international career as a solo artist and my hero when it comes to the flute. If you've ever watched Lord of the Rings, you've heard Sir James Galway! He has a beautiful & emotion-filled sound. You should also listen to his Clair De Lune rendition; it is beautiful melody.

This next guy I’ve only heard of since last year around Christmas time. I was online searching for instrumental Christmas music and I ran across his version of "Carol of the Bells". I loved it so much I decided to look up more of his music. His name is George Winston; an American born pianist. He plays "New Age", Contemporary, & New Orleans style R&B piano. He refers to his music as "folk" piano which is a style he made himself back in 1971. To get a taste of his massive skills, check out his album "Remembrance: A Memorial Benefit." This album was created to help families affected by the 911 attacks and all the funds are donated. Talk about two birds with one stone. My favorite song on the album is titled "Lament", but I can’t go without mentioning "Remembrance".

I could not write this particular article without including Yanni. Many would argue that there are more skilled and aged instrumental music artists, but I would have to disagree. I grew up in a house where music was always playing and at the age of 12 yrs old that's when I decided he was my favorite. And surprisingly enough, after all these years he still is my favorite when it comes to instrumental piano music. His music is full of emotion and some of his instrumentals bring me near tears still to this day. "Reflections Of Passion" and "One Man´s Dream" are some of my favorites.

Sir James Galway, George Winston, and my favorite Yanni all leap up at me through the vast world of instrumental music. They will always be a source of inspiration in my life. I hope you find an artist to do the same for you. Until next time…
